Nellie Robinson has had a standing appointment to hang out with longtime girlfriends to laugh, eat, chat and play cards for the past six months. When her family decided against exchanging Christmas gifts this year, Robinson knew who she would honor with a Christmas Happiness donation — The Wednesday Girls. The girls consist of Robinson and her friends Herma, Shirley, Eva, Barbara and Faye. “They are a group of girls I play cards with on a Wednesday night,” Robinson said. Although the Wednesday Girls have known each other for 20 years, they just recently started playing cards once a week. “We bring food and we eat and laugh and have a good time,” she said. The women play Phase 10, which is similar to Contract Rummy. Robinson already contributed to Christmas Happiness this year in memory of her parents. “My family has decided we did not want to exchange gifts. We didn’t need anything so this year we said we will give to charities,” she said. Robinson and her granddaughter recently visited St. Jude Children’s Hospital in Memphis and have decided to make a donation. Robinson will also make a donation to Honor Air, a program that makes it possible for military veterans to see the World War II memorial in Washington. Her father is a World War II veteran. Her church, Rock Grove Methodist, every year collects money for its Red Stocking

EAST SPENCER — A man wanted in connection with the Dec. 11 shooting and attempted robbery of an East Henderson Street resident turned himself in Tuesday. Authorities are still looking for more suspects, and the victim said he’s still shaken by the attempt on his life. Michael Odell Mitchell Jr., 25, of East Spencer, is charged with attempted first-degree murder, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting seriMITCHELL ous injury, conspiracy to commit murder, attempted robbery and shooting into an occupied dwelling. He is in the Rowan County jail under a $1 million secured bond. East Spencer Police Chief Floyd Baldo obtained warrants for Mitchell’s arrest Monday night. He turned himself in around noon Tuesday. The shooting happened the night of Dec. 11. Baldo said Mitchell and at least two other men went to the East Henderson Street home of 33-year-old Michael Figueroa and tried to rob him of his wallet. Figueroa resisted and one of the men shot Figueroa in the threshold of the home. Figueroa underwent surgery for gunshot wounds and has since been released from the hospital. Figueroa said Tuesday he is still recovering physically and emotionally. “It really shook me,” he said, “and I don’t know if I really needed that at this point in my life.” The shooting, he said, happened quickly. Mitchell and the other men knocked at his door, Figueroa said. When he answered the door, he recalled, one of the men said, “give me what you got.” “I said, ‘I ain’t giving you nothing,’ ” Figueroa said. “And out comes the gun.” Figueroa said he was on the porch when the man pulled the gun. He ran inside as the man began shooting at him. He was shot in the spine, bladder and intestinal tract, he said, leaving him numb in 25 percent of his left leg. “The gunshots wasn’t that bad. It’s just the surgeries,” he said. “What really scared me out of the whole thing — and I’m from Brooklyn, nothing scares me — but they left, they got two houses down, and they came back,” he said. “They wanted to kill me. “It just kind of hurt me that they would leave and come back to kill me.” Figueroa said when the men came back, he heard a stomp. It was the men trying to kick in his door. He said one of the men shoved the gun through an opening in the door and opened fire. “The only thing in the door was his arm,” he said. “I thought the gun was directly at my head. Some kind of miracle must have happened. I know one of those

Dr. James Davis stops in for a visit to Jennifer Yount’s sixth grade class on the last day before Christmas break. Davis, principal of China Grove Middle School, was selected as the 2011 Principal of the Year for the Rowan-Salisbury School System in October.

Nothing comes before learning, says Davis BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

CHINA GROVE — When Dr. James Davis, 33, took the reins as principal at China Grove Middle School three years ago, one of the first things he did was bring the hallways to life. He added a bright red stripe to bland white corridors, hung black and white photos of students on the walls and placed inspirational quotes throughout the building. Next, he went to work getting the schools accident lockers refurbished from a dull beige to vibrant crimson. He said transforming the school’s appearance was the first step to enhancing student achievement. “I think if students want to be here, they are going to perform better,” he said. The physical look of the school isn’t the only thing Dr. James Davis sits in his ofﬁce. that’s changed since Davis, the Wachovia Principal of the helped bring up end-of-grade test Year for the Rowan-Salisbury scores.

nothing trumps classroom instruction,” he said. Davis also shifted the school’s teaching philosophies to include more technology. “I think in the 21st century if you don’t utilize technology, you’re ignoring your audience,” he said. “Technology allows you to plan lessons for auditory learners, visual learners and kinesthetic learnings ... it’s just an effective way to address all the learning in your classroom. The school held fundraisers and received grants for the nearly $170,000 worth of technology it installed. “We only had two (interactive whiteboards) on campus two years ago and now there is one in every single sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade classroom,” Davis said. Davis said turning around the school had its challenges, including budget cuts. “It’s very hard to do, but I think you have to be conservative and creative,” he said. “We have applied for more grants and built more partnerships than we had before.” The school has reached out to churches, universities and the community to meet the needs of students. Davis said he is also constantly weighing what is best for the students. “We have to make sure they come first, they are a priority and nothing supercedes the kids,” he said. “I think if you don’t have priorities you just kind of flounder

New apartment complex for seniors planned for Sacred Heart B Y E MILY F ORD eford@salisburypost.com

New affordable apartments for seniors are slated for the Sacred Heart Catholic Church campus off Jake Alexander Boulevard. Salisbury City Council on Tuesday approved Good Shepherd Gardens, a 19-unit development on Lumen Christi Lane, the new street leading to the church and school. The apartments will help fill a housing need in Salisbury, City Planner Preston Mitchell said. According to the 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan, Salisbury needs 687 additional housing units for elders, Mitchell said. “This is a very positive thing for Salisbury,” said Gray Stout, the architect for the project, who also deToday’s forecast 56º/29º Partly cloudy

city’s Vision 2020 Comprehensive Plan, the Salisbury Planning Board and Technical Review Committee unanimously recommended approval to City Council. Departures include no bicycles parking and vehicle parking in front of the facility, rather than the rear, to accommodate disabled residents. Developers also want to “soften” lighting in the parking area, Mitchell said. It was not clear at the meeting when construction will begin on Good Shepherd Gardens. The city is working to add more housing units for seniors by informing developers of the need when they inquire about what type of housing is in demand, Mitchell said.

The Salisbury City Council also: â&#x20AC;˘ Approved rezoning the Weatherstone subdivision, which covers about 43.6 acres off Camp Road, from General Residential to Manufactured Home DevelopmentNeighborhood. The area is primarily mobile homes. The rezoning corrects an error the city made when it originally zoned the property, City Planner Preston Mitchell said. The action does not create a new subdivision for mobile homes, Mayor Pro Tem Maggie Blackwell said. The rezoning of Weatherstone allows stick-built homes and doublewide manufactured homes, but not sinmanufactured glewide homes. The adjacent Little Acres subdivision, which consists mostly of singlewides, was not included in the rezoning at the recommendation of the Salisbury Planning Board. Little Acres can continue replacing singlewides as needed. Both subdivisions were annexed by the city. â&#x20AC;˘ Council approved resolutions designating five areas as Urban Progress Zone for 2011-2012: downtown, the airport, Industrial Avenue, North Long Street and Jake Alexander Boulevard. Part of the state tax credit program, Urban Progress Zones provide economic incentives to stimulate new investment and job creation in economically distressed areas. The Economic Development Commission has significant interest in the progress zones as a tool for recruiting new industry, said Kathryn Clifton, GIS coordinator.

The zone designations go hand-in-hand with the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Industrial Building Revitalization Grant Program, designed to encourage companies to rehabilitate older, vacant buildings in the North Long Street corridor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having this designation makes them even more desirable,â&#x20AC;? Clifton said. The progress zone designations and grant program could help redevelop the area, which once bustled with light industrial and manufacturing companies, council member Paul Woodson said. Council member Brian Miller said the progress zone designation gives businesses the opportunity to access credit. Council member William â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peteâ&#x20AC;?

Misdialed number leads to drug charges A Salisbury man called the wrong number over the weekend and ended up being charged with attempting to traffic heroin, authorities reported Tuesday. A Rowan County Sheriff’s Office report said James Gordon Easter Jr., 53, of 4805 Old Concord Road, called a number he thought belonged to a friend and promised 50 Hydrocodone pills and marijuana if the man picked him up and drove him to a place to get the drugs. What Easter didn’t realize, according to the report, was that he had called the wrong number. The man he called contacted the Sheriff’s Office. The Sheriff’s Office asked the person to call Easter back and set things up, but when the caller asked Easter where he lived, Easter realized he did not know the man on the other end of the phone. Authorities got Easter’s address and obtained a search warrant. Investigators found drug paraphernalia in Easter’s home, the report said. Easter was charged Saturday with attempting to traffic heroin and possession of drug paraphernalia and given a $5,500 secured bond.

Felipe Marcellez, Sharon Smith and other volunteers load up a van with toys and a bicycle during the food and toy distribution by the Salvation Army.

Salvation Army staff, volunteers help distribute food and toys BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

Chloe Thomas is unemployed and all she wants for her children this holiday is to have more than she did. “I remember growing up not having and I don’t want them to wake up not having,” she said. The Salvation Army staff and its many volunteers distributed toys, food and some clothing items for families Tuesday through its Angel Tree program. Beginning in October, the angels are displayed on trees in various businesses. Each one has information on a child in need. Anyone in the community can take an angel off the tree and buy gifts requested by the child. Thomas has two children, Jaylin 5, Te’Andre, 2, who received gifts through the program. “It’s really good. If it wasn’t for them ...,” she started to say. Thomas became emotional in expressing her thanks to Salvation Army and her wish for her children to have a great Christmas. Niki Lewis lost her job two years ago and has found it hard to find another. She is a fulltime student at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College studying criminal justice. Her daughter’s father died last year of cancer. “It’s a blessing. A lot of us single mothers are struggling. There’s even a lot of two-parent families struggling,” she said. Lewis has two children, Nadaliegh, 8, and Lucas, 10. “It’s a big blessing for people who would take the time to get stuff for Christmas and it’s not necessarily what they want, but what they need,” Lewis said. Joyce Thomas receives disability assistance and isn’t able to buy her children gifts this holiday, but is grateful to those who made it possible so that her daughter, Kimberly, 10, could receive presents. “I think we are blessed. It’s a great thing to do for Christmas,” Thomas said. Altravis Taylor said she is like a lot of other families who

Taylor said she’s not been able to find work, but is looking foward to her May graduation. “I appreciate the Salvation Army for helping. I’m thankful to them for assisting me and helping my son have a good Christmas. It’s a blessing,” she said. Lisa Wall became unemployed when was laid off from International Automotive Components in Albemarle. She said her son, Brent, who is 9 years

old, understands about her not having a job, but she’s happy he’ll have presents under the tree. “I think it’s a great thing that people who fall on hard times have a place to go,” Wall said. Beverly Kerr, who is a community worker with Smart Start, brought a client, Sharon Shields, to receive her items. Shields was laid off from Allstate and has two children, son, Tiyyan, 4, and daughter, Myasia, 5. “It means my kids will have a good Christmas,” Shields said. A friend told Shannon Baczek about the Angel Tree since she’s “having a hard time finding a job,” she said.

She and her family moved to East Spencer from Illinois and after the move she was unable to find employment. “It feels good now that they have something under the tree,” Baczek said. Ruby Moose is a volunteer who attends the Salvation Army church. “I think it’s good they help people that’s in need,” she said. Moose said it’s nice to be able to volunteer to help. Kesha Hoskins another volunteer, said it “makes me feel good inside. I have children of my own.” “There’s a lot of needy people and their children don’t need to suffer because the parents don’t have a job, Hoskins said. It’s amazing to see the community donate. “It’s great to see the community working together. It fills my heart with joy,” she said. Connie Shipwash read about the distribution in the newspaper and asked to volunteer. “It’s a true blessing to help others,” she said. It’s not the first time she volunteered to help others. At Thanksgiving Shipwash volunteered to serve food at Captain D’s. Contact reporter Shavonne Potts at 704-797-4253.

A call to 911 Friday afternoon to report a larceny in progress led to the arrest of a Gold Hill man. According to a Rowan County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office report, deputies responding to the call hoped to find a man who had reportedly been seen in several different yards stealing various items. The caller, who lives on Choate Road, gave the deputies the license plate number of the suspect. A Spencer police officer located the vehicle with Brian Allen Erdman, 34, behind the wheel. The officer found an exhaust system in the back seat of the car, the report said. Erdman allowed the officer to search his car, the report said, and police found pieces of metal in the trunk, a cigarette pack with pill fragments in Erdmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pocket, and another in the glove compartment, as well as a crack pipe and syringe. The pill, Suboxone, was not prescribed to Erdman. Erdman, of 1122 Tucker Lane, was charged with possession of a schedule III controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia and given a $1,500 secured bond. The original caller could not positively claim ownership of the metal found in the trunk of Erdmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car and declined to press charges for larceny, the report said.

Its signal covers 22 counties in and around Charlotte.

Perusse to leave budget job for UNC CHAPEL HILL (AP) — Gov. Beverly Perdue’s budget director for the first two fiscally challenging years of her administration said Tuesday he’s leaving to take a top finance post within the University of North Carolina system. Charlie Perusse will become vice president for finance for the 17-campus UNC system by March 1, incoming system President Tom Ross announced in a news release. Perusse was appointed budget director in January 2009. He’s been involved in budget negotiations with the Legislature in addition to managing the state’s current $19 billion budget. He was deputy budget director in Gov. Mike Easley’s administration the previous six years and was acting director in late 2008. Perusse “has earned the trust, respect, and confidence of state leaders and legislators on both sides of the aisle,” Ross said in a statement. “I am thrilled that he has agreed to join our leadership team, and I am grateful to Gov. Perdue for her support of his decision.”

Perusse’s tenure came as North Carolina struggled to cut costs as revenues dropped nearly 11 percent during 2009 in the Great Recession. He is leaving the post as lawmakers and Perdue must figure out how to close a potential budget gap of $3.7 billion next year. Perusse said he’ll remain on the job for several more weeks so that the Office of State Management and Budget he leads will complete Perdue’s budget proposal to the Legislature. Perusse, who went to N.C. State University and UNCChapel Hill, also previously worked in the Legislature’s fiscal research office. “Ultimately, the chance to work with our world class university System — an institution that opened career doors that I never imagined were possible — was an opportunity that I could not pass up,” Perusse said in a statement. Perusse, who makes $153,000 in his current job, will receive a $230,000 salary at his new post, according to state and university officials.

Davis walks past a large quote on the wall in the main hallway of the school. Reafﬁrming quotes, areas of recognition and walls painted with the school colors were some of the changes he brought to the school since his arrival. lunch. Kaylee Leazer, a sixthgrader at the school, said she enjoys running into Davis in the hallways. “He’s always so nice and very friendly,” she said. Sixth-grader Karrigan Brown said Davis’ sociable demeanor always puts a smile on her face. “He makes us laugh a lot,” she said. Sixth-grade teacher Jennifer Yount said Davis is very receptive to teachers’ needs. “If we need something, he’s going to find a way to get it,” she said. Scotty Thomas, a math and language arts enrichment teacher, said Davis is very student-oriented. “He encourages students and teachers and has high expectations for all of us, yet he does it in a way that is so kind and supportive, you don’t even know he’s doing it,” she said. “It’s so nurturing and loving that you can’t help but blossom and be the best person you can be.” Thomas said Davis is also a team player who includes everyone in decisions-making. “Everything he does is as a ‘we’ not ‘I,’ ” she said. Davis said at the end of the day he believes strong relationships with students are the driving force behind success. “I love kids and I think they are our greatest natural resource, so we need to have good relationships with them.” Contact reporter Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

On his first day of school, Davis expected to receive a warm reception from staff, but had no idea the students would welcome him with such open arms. “It just feels like a family here,” he said. Davis has welcomed the students in a similar fashion. He glides down the hallways, offering up high fives, holding open doors as they transition from one class to another and chatting with them during

Before coming to RowanSalisbury Schools, Davis worked in Cabarrus County for a decade, serving as a middle school teacher before taking on the role of assistant principal at Northwest Cabarrus Middle. “I loved being a classroom teacher, I never wanted to leave the classroom,” he said. “I had an administrator in Cabarrus that kind of kept gently pushing me to apply for the Principal Fellows scholarship, I got the scholarship and went back to complete the program.” Davis, who was named the Concord Middle School Teacher of the Year in 2003, said it’s his education that propelled him into the teaching field. “I had outstanding teachers and I had poor teachers and that kind of made me go into education,” he said. Davis said one specific memory stands out. “I was talking to a 10thgrade science teacher of mine and I said, ‘I’m really torn between being a teacher or a social worker,’ and she said, ‘Don’t go into teaching. You’ll never make enough money,’ ” he said. “I remember thinking that day that I’m going to be a teacher and I’ll never have that mindset.”

Holiday

BY KATIE SCARVEY kscarvey@salisburypost.com

olidays are about tradition, and many of the best traditions, I have discovered, are centered around food. Some of us have pretty common holiday food traditions, of your turkey and ham variety, but others among us have quirkier holiday habits, whether it’s because of where we live or just because we live in strangely wonderful (or wonderfully strange) families. Leslie Hudson-Tolles recalls that when her youngest daughter was 3, she figured out that meat was, in fact, formerly a cow that had once been “a baby or a mommy.” That prompted her to become a vegetarian 20 years ago. “It was not a phase,” Leslie says. They got around the turkey tradition by making their own dessert shaped like a turkey. “To this day, our Christmas and Thanksgiving tables sport Oreo cookies opened at right angles and glued with icing and a malt ball with lovely corn candy feathers.” • • • Mark Wineka grew up in Pennsylvania Dutch country and recalls having hog stomach stuffed with sausage, potatoes, carrots and celery. No, really. He did. Sara Pitzer also grew up in Pennsylvania and remembers the same thing, but adds that there might have been “a bit of souse” first and shoofly pie after. Here’s a recipe Mark found that he believes is similar to the one he grew up with. I have not tried it, but I’m wondering if you could do it without the, uh, hog maw part of it.

Hog Maw 1 pig stomach 2 pounds smoked sausage (loose) 3 C. boiled potatotes, diced 3 C. diced apples 1 small head of cabbage chopped 11⁄2 C. bread crumbs 1 medium onion, chopped 2 C. chopped celery and parsley salt and pepper Combine all ingredients well.

Traditions Stuff the stomach with mixture. Sew up the opening. Bake at 350 degrees in baking pan with water in bottom to keep from sticking. Bake about one hour. • • • Since Amanda Bosch’s grandfather was Greek, she grew up having “Greek Soup” before every Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter meal. She learned how to make the soup from her grandfather, who probably learned it from his father, who owned restaurants. She describes the soup, called “avgolemono” as “a creamy egglemon soup, heavy on the lemon. It’s a lot like hollandaise sauce but with orzo pasta, and she says it tastes even better the second day. “No holiday would ever feel the same without it,” she says. It’s an acquired taste, she adds, noting that she didn’t like it until after she went to Greece and stayed with family there. One of Amanda’s daughters, Emily, loves it; the other, Katie, won’t touch it, she says. “Anyone new to our family has to get through the taste test with it, and we all watch as they taste it and the lemon hits them,” she says. Amanda shared the recipe, which wasn’t written down anywhere, she says.

Avgolemono 2 boxes chicken broth 8 eggs 1 C. lemon juice (more or less according to taste) 1 box orzo pasta Bring the chicken broth to a boil, then reduce to simmer. While the chicken broth is heating, use a mixer to beat the eggs, adding the lemon juice to the eggs while you are beating them. Slowly add the egg mixture to the hot chicken broth, using a hand mixer to incorporate the egg mixture; return to a boil, on medium heat, continuously stir-

ring with the hand mixer on low so the eggs don’t curdle. Once it boils, then reduce it to simmer and keep stirring — but you can switch from the mixer to a spoon at this point. In a separate pot, bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil, add orzo, cook for 3 minutes, then drain. Add cooked orzo (al dente) to creamy chicken broth mixture, stirring it in. Serve warm with extra slices of lemon and salt. The salt gives it a sharpness that contrasts with the lemon. • • • A few people weighed in specifically on Charleston food traditions. Peggy Judd shared that when she and her husband Jeremy lived there, it was 80 degrees on Christmas, which led to a new tradition for them, since they didn’t want to eat hot, heavy food in hot weather. “I made a huge batch of sushi and we ate that — two Christmases in a row,” she says. (But we can assume that the second Christmas it was a different batch of sushi.) Phyllis Wright Rogerson pointed out that a more traditional Charleston holiday dish is red rice or shrimp and grits. Mark Jarrett, whose mother’s side of the family is from Charleston, says that they always did a seafood feast for Christmas, “everything from oyster stew to boiled shrimp.” His mother continues the tradition, he says. • • • Ann Bourque’s holiday food tradition is Stollen, or German Christmas bread. Her great grandmother’s recipe has been used in her family for more than 100 years, she says, adding that the bread is “to die for” — and no, she won’t share the recipe with you. • • • An “avid eater” in Salisbury, who wishes to remain anonymous, shared this story from

his childhood: “Until she went back to work when I was 9, my mother made Moravian cookies around Christmastime. Unfortunately, she lacked either the equipment, the know-how, or perhaps just the patience to roll the dough to the required thinness. As a result, her cookies, though delicious, were hard as a brick. There were two remedies for this problem. One was to eat the cookies while they were still warm. Mom didn’t like this, but the rewards were well worth risking a swipe of the flyswatter on my backside. The other was to dunk the cookies in a glass of milk. I always left a couple of cookies and milk for Santa. On Christmas morning, there would be a few artfully scattered crumbs in and around the cookie plate. I never realized what a privileged childhood I had until years later as an adult looking for stocking stuffers for a few friends, I priced the small (tube) size of the commercial product. At those prices, I figure I had consumed several hundred dollars worth of cookies in just a few years.” • • • Sara Anthony Hill says that they seemed to have a “revolving door” in their China Grove home when friends and family gathered on Christmas Eve. “Most of them came just at mealtime,” she says. “Daddy was quite a hunter. There was venison or rabbit and squirrel with awesome milk gravy and creamed potatoes. I remember once a different meat appeared on the table. Daddy had fallen down the side of the mountain but still brought home the bear. Can’t remember if we ever heard that entire story.” Sara says that from all the wonderful food memories, her mother’s fresh coconut cake is her most cherished Christmas tradition.

Coconut cake with pineapple filling (Sara’s easy revised version)

For the cake: 2 boxes Duncan Hines White Cake Mix Make cake layers according to package directions (four layers). Cool completely. You will only need three layers. Freeze the remaining layer for later use. Tip: With a long bread knife or serrated knife, remove the rounded top of two of the layers to allow the layers to rest together evenly. Leave the uncut layer for the top of the cake. Filling (quick and easy) 2 Tbsp. butter or margarine 3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour 1 ⁄2 C. sugar 1 20-ounce can crushed pineapple, undrained Combine flour and sugar in a medium saucepan. Add pineapple and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Let cool completely. (Can be made ahead and refrigerated). Frosting 4 C. powdered sugar 3 ⁄4 stick margarine 1 ⁄2 C. Crisco shortening 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 ⁄4 C. milk (approximately) 2 6-ounce packages fresh frozen coconut, thawed

Beat maragine and shortening until creamy. Add sugar and a little milk, alternately. Add vanilla. Add additional milk until spreadable consistency. To assemble cake, place a cooked, cut layer on a cake plate. Spread half of the pineapple filling to within a half-inch of the edge of the cake. Place second cooled, cut layer on top, spreading with remainder of pineapple filling. Add the third uncut layer. Spread frosting on sides and top of cake. Place cake on waxed paper to catch any coconut that may fall while applying. Hold left hand next to the cake and gently press the coconut as you drop it onto the sides and top. Keep refrigerated. Very moist and better the second day.

Ask Amy: Snack pack tack creates some flak Dear Neighborly: Just as your neighbors weren’t making a particular statement in asking you to buy a snack pack, you can also refuse to purchase a snack pack without making a declaration — unless you want to. If you’re asked or wish to supply an explanation, you should say that because the organization has an exclusionary leadership policy, you can’t in good conscience support its fundraising efforts. It is not these parents’ job to determine or decode your sensitivities and avoid you — or to urge the boys to exclude you (then they’d be doing the same thing their organization’s leadership does). They are treating you to the same opportunity all of the neighbors are being given, and like the other neighbors; you can take or leave the treats, with or without an explanation.

Dear Amy: My family knows that my husband has been very sick. They have heard this from doctors and from me. If we want my husband around in the future, he must not drink alcohol and must eat well. He was an alcoholic, but bless him, he has been doing great, despite having many other medical problems. We have all but given up joining my family for any occasion; they go so far as to invite him to taste this booze or that, when they all know how hard it is for him to abstain. I truly don’t know what to do. Any suggestions? — Sad Sister Dear Sad: One quibble — you say your husband “was” an alcoholic. He is an alcoholic. This distinction is important because your husband’s alcoholism requires ongoing vigilance. If your family can’t accommodate him or if they continue to diminish or (even worse) undermine his recovery, then you shouldn’t spend time with them.

If you are with them and they behave in a way that you and your husband believe is injurious to his health, then you will have to leave. Recovering addicts know that the key to their continued sobriety is in the company they keep. This lesson will be substantiated if your husband attends a recovery support program like AA regularly. Your family members sound like bad company — and your husband should keep his distance. Dear Amy: Thanks for your column and levelheaded advice. I’m a lifelong reader of advice columns and have noticed that most of the problems you tackle are due to people’s inability to express themselves respectfully and honestly with others in order to resolve simple, everyday conflicts. They don’t know what to say, or they don’t have the guts to speak up. Ironically, this comes at a time when we’re hearing an excess of angry “self-expression” about political and social differences. Our society seems unable to engage in civil discourse and open dialogue

• Fighting debt with color. I have added some new tools to my belt in my fight to become debt-free. Each time I write a check to a creditor, I use the second line in my check register to record the interest charged that month (in red), the amount of my payment that is actually attacking my debt (in green) and the new balance (in blue). This way, I can see at a glance my progress, and the red is a visual reminder of why I never want to be in debt again! — Michele, California

• Keep the car clean. While waiting to pick up my kids, I was cleaning up a mess in the car with a wet wipe that was

in my son’s diaper bag. I realized how easy it was to wipe off the dashboard and other surfaces with it. This is a timesaving cleaning technique when you don’t have a lot of time. All you need are baby wipes! — Kimberly, Wisconsin

• Magic marker cleaner. To remove pen or magic marker from nearly any hard surface — stained wood, plastic, doll faces, walls, flooring, etc. — use toothpaste! It works better than anything I’ve tried. Just don’t use whitening varieties on colored surfaces. — Jennifer, Kentucky

• Broccoli sticks. Instead of throwing out broccoli stems, grate them and add them to salads or slaw. Or peel and cut them into sticks, as you would carrots, to eat as a snack. Broccoli sticks are yummy and good for you, too. — Janice, North Carolina

• Pet hair drain strain. When preparing to give your dog or cat a bath in the sink, cut a circle from a green scrubby pad the size of your drain. Place the pad in the drain to keep it from clogging with animal hair. — Mary, Illinois

• Foaming soap. I remove the top from the hand soap bottles with the plastic pump that dispenses foam. Then I put several pieces of leftover bar soap into the bottle. I fill it with warm water and shake it gently to distribute the water. In a few days, I have a new bottle of dispensable foam hand soap. — Kathleen, North Carolina

• Spice check. I came across some not-so-fresh-tasting spices in my pantry. For help, I went to http://www.McCormick.com and clicked on “Spices 101.” Using the codes on my McCormick spices, I learned I had some dating back to

DENTURES

Dear reader: I do think these two trends are related. I’m continually surprised at the challenge people face in expressing their own wants, desires or points of view. Like you, I see an opposite tendency — and that is the freewheeling and aggressive expression of people who don’t mind “getting in someone’s face.” I often preach the benefit of balance — but personal balance is hard to achieve when the rest of the world seems out of whack.

I find myself continually delighted when I read the emails from my “Everyday Cheapskate” readers. There just seems to be no end to the creativity when solving life’s little dilemmas. • Creative boot stuffing. Instead of using expensive boot stuffers to keep my boots from flopping over, I got one of those long, dense foam “noodles” that kids play with in the swimming pool.

Dear Amy: My partner and I are friends with a neighborhood couple who have a wonderful and loving family. We see them socially on occasion and sincerely enjoy their company. This year, the boys and their father walked the neighborhood and asked us to support their youth organization’s annual fundraising efforts by purchasing a snack gift pack. Who could resist ASK the request of the AMY boys in their crisp uniforms, respectfully and courteously asking for support? Being good neighbors and friends, we purchased an item. Immediately after the purchase, buyer’s remorse set in. Their national organization does not allow gay leaders. I feel the parents are close enough that we can broach the subject, and yet I also feel they should have been more sensitive before

• Freecycle reminder. Have yourself a Freecycle Christmas, let your heart be light, soon all of your troubles will be out of sight. If you haven’t tried having a Freecycle Christmas (www.freecycle.org), you are missing out. I started using it about five years ago. I have gotten some really awesome stuff that is new or like new that I give as gifts. No pressure to spend money. Of course, I let family members know I’m doing this, but it’s so freeing and fun. The kids love it, and most of the younger ones don’t even realize it’s used because it is like new. I use Freecycle throughout the year and keep stuff in a closet — my closet o’ gifts. At Christmas (birthdays, etc.), there’s no pressure or rush — no worry about budget. I’ve got such a stash now that I don’t even use it as much anymore. I highly encourage everyone to try doing this — maybe not for all of your gifts, but for at least some. — G.D.,

Homemade mixes are popular gifts. Many are given in decorated mason jars. But you can use various containers such as bowls, mugs, reusable plastic or glass containers, boxes (such as Chinese takeout food boxes), tins, cellophane or fabric bags, SARA or ask to buy NOEL coffee bags wherever whole-bean coffee is sold. Some containers will simply need a plastic liner. The first reader tip has another suggestion. • Instead of using jars. Use a baggie and put it in a brown paper lunch sack. All of my wrapping for Christmas is always done with Kraft paper and trimmed with twine, raffia, and ribbon. I have also used plaid homespun material cut into strips with pinking shears. For the bag, I would place the baggie inside, fold down the top a couple of turns, make 2 holes with a hole punch and thread whatever I was using as ribbon through the holes and tie. It always looks great. I’ve used this type of wrapping for years, mostly because it matches my holiday decor, which I consider a rustic homespun look. It’s easy to keep on hand, and you can use it for other occasions throughout the year. — Tami,

From U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan, D-N.C.:

ABC CHANGES DEBATED

Keeping spirits under control roblems with the state’s system of controlling alcohol sales have surfaced in the past two years — most infamously, the lavish wining and dining of ABC officials in Mecklenburg County by one distiller, and six-figure salaries for the (now former) ABC chief in New Hanover County and his son. But even in those counties, the North Carolina ABC system lived up to its main mission — controlling alcohol sales. With that in mind and recent changes making the system more uniform and accountable, lawmakers should keep the ABC system intact as long as the state can afford it. Political leaders are right to put everything on the table as they cope with the ever-growing hole in the state budget. These are extraordinary times for government funding, with the Great Recession draining tax revenues and stop-gap stimulus funds running out. Privatizing the ABC system’s retail sales and/or distribution system — selling them off — could help fill the hole. The state ABC Commission is getting estimates to determine just how much. But while the state is trying to raise money, local governments are afraid privatization will lead to the eventual loss of ABC revenue for them. And even the state might find itself losing revenue if it considers privatization’s longterm impact. Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell has been wrestling all year with that state’s system, trying to come up with a privatization scenario that satisfies all sides. An analysis of his initial proposal showed it would raise $47 million less for state coffers each year. Ideally, revenue would not be the reason North Carolina keeps or sells its ABC system. Ever since the end of Prohibition, the state has operated this system as a way to make alcohol available without promoting it. Apparently it’s working. According to Jon P. Carr, lobbyist for the ABC board, North Carolina ranks third among the 50 states and the District of Columbia in revenue per capita from the sale of spirits and 48th in per capita consumption. “NC’s control system for the sale of spirits works and accomplishes important public health and revenue objectives,” Carr wrote in a letter to legislators. Others, however, say deregulation led to less per-capita alcohol consumption in West Virginia and Iowa. Only 19 states still run controlled ABC systems. But what’s right for North Carolina? The state’s leaders should base their decision on principle rather than revenue. For decades, concerns for public health and safety have compelled the state to shoulder responsibility for alcohol sales. A lot is changing in North Carolina, but those concerns are as strong as ever.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world. — Thomas Edison

Moderately confused

n Dec. 1, the bipartisan debt commission released its report, and North Carolina’s own Erskine Bowles, co-chair of the commission, called the national debt “a cancer destroying our nation from within.” Just two weeks later, Congress passed a tax bill that adds a staggering $858 billion to our already severely bloated national debt. I voted no because I could not, in good conscience, approve adding nearly a trillion dollars to the national debt without any longterm plan to address the deficit. This bill makes none of the hard decisions. HAGAN Instead, it delays them for another two years. Unfortunately, this happens far too frequently in Washington. All year, politicians pay lip service to doing something about our deficit. But at the end of the year, when the rubber meets the road, it’s much easier to pass the buck. And unless we get serious about changing the way we do business, it will inevitably lead, when this bill expires in two years, to another budget-busting bill just like it. It just isn’t right or sensible to pass a twoyear, Washington-as-usual fix that sends today’s enormous bill to our children and grandchildren. It is time for Congress to tighten its belt, just like American families must do daily. The last time Congress did a comprehensive rewrite of our tax code was 1986. Our debt then was $1.5 trillion. Today it has ballooned to $8.7 trillion — nearly half of which is owned by China and other foreign creditors. According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, interest on the debt could rise to nearly $1 trillion annually by 2020. That equals the entire amount of individual income taxes we will collect this year. Rising debt also threatens America’s ability to pursue our priorities and respond to crises. We risk our ability to invest in schools, rebuild aging infrastructure and even defend our country from foreign threats. Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, recently identified the debt as our country’s biggest national security threat. We all know that this much is true: This trend of excessive borrowing is unsustainable. It will come to an end eventually — one way or another. It is up to those of us in Washington to ensure that it comes to an end in a responsible way, with Democrats and Republicans working side by side to solve this problem for our country and future generations. The debt commission’s report made important progress in its sobering blueprint for reducing the deficit. It is going to require tough choices and some bitter pills. If it were easy, we would have done it already. I took a strong stand against last week’s tax package because it takes us in the wrong direction. It makes none of the tough choices that the debt commission recommended. It takes us further away from addressing our serious problems, instead kicking any real decision-making two years down the road. Real action to address our staggering debt must be a bipartisan priority for the 111th Congress. It is up to those of us who are serious about this problem, on both sides of the aisle, to lead the way in tackling our country’s most pressing challenge.

Cooper’s lesson of love Amid sorrow comes an outpouring of support BY LEA ANNE THOMAS For the Salisbury Post

n Tuesday, Dec. 7, the world lost a kind, wonderful child due to an accidental drowning. Cooper Wood’s parents’ and siblings’ lives will never be the same, as they will forever feel this loss. Our school family feels a tremendous loss as well. We are missing a loyal friend and hard-working student. As tremendous as Cooper’s loss is, even more tremendous are the lessons Cooper taught us through this tragedy. The day after Cooper’s death, counselors met with our students to help them cope with this loss. Child after child talked about what a wonderful friend Cooper was. How he accepted them for who they were, how he defended them when someone picked on them and how he made them laugh. They talked about his electric blue hair and the plans he had for dyeing it different colors. They talked about knowing where Cooper was now and what an awesome Christmas he was going to have in heaven. Cooper taught them about acceptance, no matter who you were, what you looked like or who your other friends were. He taught them about being loyal, being kind and being true to who you were. Cooper allowed them to express their faith in words. Cooper was one of those kids

who was liked by everyone he met. He was a gentle soul. The school sent home a letter about Cooper’s passing and telling parents about Cooper’s Fund, which would allow our school to help his parents with funeral costs. What happened next left our school in awe. Our students brought in envelopes with change, our parents wrote checks and posted about Cooper’s Fund on Facebook, spoke about it at church and told other members in the community.

Cooper was one of those kids who was liked by everyone he met. He was a gentle soul. The Salisbury Post and WBTV ran stories about this terrible tragedy. One parent called her mother to ask for prayers and the mother set out a jar in her restaurant for donations. They sent in a large donation from a small town in South Carolina whose residents had never even met Cooper. Donations have come in from Tennessee and Kentucky, from other schools, from churches, from parents who have lost their own chil-

LETTERS Your changes and my changes Yes, I have changed — I have changed my mind about a new White House, when the one of today resembles the one of old. I have changed my mind about who knows the difference between right and wrong. Our economy crashed, and we know how to solve the problem, yet we do everything to go around the problem.You send repeat offenders and convicted felons into society dictating what they can or can’t be. Well, if I can’t be a sheriff, police officer, judge or DA, or maybe even a correctional officer, you send me out to be a drug dealer, thief or any kind of hardened criminal, leaving me no option to fend for my family and myself. And when I end up in front of the same judge and DA, they give me 20 years for being a repeat offender because I ran from an officer to feed my child. Yes, I have changed my mind — I have changed my mind about today’s national and state leaders. I have changed my mind about President Barack Obama’s change of mind.

Photo connections This holiday season, Hearts Apart.org is offering the best present many military families could ask for, providing soon to be deployed servicemen and servicewomen with pictures of their spouse and children by professional photographers at no cost. The organization was created to keep families connected while military men and women are serving abroad. Over the last month, HeartsApart.org has received hundreds of requests from military families nationwide. “We want to give every family a chance to be photographed, especially during the holidays. This is why we are asking for those who can find it in their hearts to make a donation to the cause. Donations allow us to continue serving those who serve our country,” says Brett Martin, Executive Director of HeartsApart.org. HeartsApart.org asks that photographers, makeup artists, hairstylists, wardrobe stylists and most importantly

financial donors and sponsors join the cause. Those interested are asked to visit www.HeartsApart.org. Most importantly, military families of soon to be deployed Armed Forces are encouraged to visit the website and schedule their family portrait. The photographs are printed on waterproof and durable bi-folded cards, which fit securely in the soldier's uniform pocket. HeartsApart.org believes that military personnel deserve and need the memory of their family to carry them through difficult times. “Our goal is simple. As long as servicemen and women are in harm’s way and separated from their families, we will be taking pictures,” said Martin. Founded in North Carolina, HeartsApart.org has now expanded to areas including Charleston, S.C., Norfolk, Va., and Kansas City, Mo., to name a few. The organization is seeking volunteer photographers as well as charitable donations in order to continue expanding. — Elizabeth Bloch Wilmington

Obama locks up GOP votes for US-Russia nuclear treaty WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama locked up enough Senate Republican votes Tuesday to ratify a new arms control treaty with Russia that would cap nuclear warheads for both former Cold War foes and restart on-site weapons inspections. Eleven Republicans joined Democrats in a 67-28 proxy vote to wind up the debate and hold a final tally on Wednesday. They broke ranks with the Senate’s top two Republicans and were poised to give Obama a win on his top foreign policy priority. “We know when we’ve been beaten,” Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah told reporters hours before the vote. Ratification requires twothirds of those voting in the Senate and Democrats need at least nine Republicans to overcome the opposition of Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Jon Kyl of Arizona, the party’s point man on the pact. The Obama administration --has made arms control negotiations the centerpiece of resetting its relationship with Russia, and the treaty was critical to any rapprochement.

2010 census shows slowing US population growth WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican-leaning states will gain at least a half dozen House seats thanks to the 2010 census, which found the nation’s population growing more slowly than in past decades but still shifting to the South and West. The Census Bureau announced Tuesday that the nation’s population on April 1 was 308,745,538, up from 281.4 million a decade ago. The growth rate for the past decade was 9.7 percent, the lowest since the Great Depression. The nation’s population grew by 13.2 percent from 1990 to 2000. Michigan was the only state to lose population during the past decade. Nevada,

with a 35 percent increase, was the fastest-growing state. The new numbers are a boon for Republicans, with Texas leading the way among GOP-leaning states that will gain House seats, mostly at the Rust Belt’s expense. Following each once-a-decade census, the nation must reapportion the House’s 435 districts to make them roughly equal in population, with each state getting at least one seat. That triggers an often contentious and partisan process in many states, which will draw new congressional district lines that can help or hurt either party.

Study shows 1 in 4 graduates can’t pass military exam MIAMI (AP) — Nearly one-fourth of the students who try to join the U.S. Army fail its entrance exam, painting a grim picture of an education system that produces graduates who can’t answer basic math, science and reading questions, according to a new study released Tuesday. The report by The Education Trust bolsters a growing worry among military and education leaders that the pool of young people qualified for military service will grow too small. “Too many of our high school students are not graduating ready to begin college or a career — and many are not eligible to serve in our armed forces,” U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan told the AP. “I am deeply troubled by the national security burden created by America’s underperforming education system.” The effect of the low eligibility rate might not be noticeable now — the Department of Defense says it is meeting its recruitment goals — but that could change as the economy improves, said retired Navy Rear Admiral Jamie Barnett. “If you can’t get the people that you need, there’s a potential for a decline in your readiness,” said Barnett, who is part of the group Mission:

Readiness, a coalition of retired military leaders working to bring awareness to the high ineligibility rates.

California braces for next wave of rain, heavy snow LOS ANGELES (AP) — If six days of pounding rain wasn’t enough to dampen holiday spirits, a seventh could prove to be downright dangerous. Forecasters expected heavy rains across California going into Wednesday, while authorities kept a close eye on the first sign of mudslides in the wildfire-scarred foothills across the southern part of the state. So far, the inconveniences have been relatively minor: Rescuers had to pluck some stranded motorists from rain-swollen creeks. Shoppers dodged puddles while buying last-minute Christmas gifts. Disney resorts canceled a plan to shower visitors with artificial snow. “We’ll keep our fingers crossed, but the more rain that comes, the possibility of mudslides is definitely real,” said Jim Amormino, spokesman for the Orange County sheriff’s office, which has rescued nine people from the flooding in the past 24 hours. “We’ve been lucky so far, but I’m not sure how much longer the luck will hold out,” he said. For all the perils of the torrential rains, there was a silver lining: The water is expected to help ease the effects of years of drought. Thursday is expected to be dry, with sunshine. There will be light rain on Christmas Day in parts of California.

ternet traffic flowing to their customers. The 3-2 vote Tuesday marks a major victory for FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, who has spent more than a year trying to craft a compromise. The FCC’s three Democrats voted to pass the rules, while the two Republicans opposed them, calling them unnecessary regulation. The new rules are likely to face intense scrutiny on Capitol Hill once Republicans take over the House. Meanwhile, public interest groups decried the regulations as too weak, particularly for wireless systems. Known as “net neutrality,” the rules prohibit phone and cable companies from favoring or discriminating against Internet content and services, such as those from rivals. The rules require broadband providers to let subscribers access all legal on-

line content, applications and services over their wired networks — including online calling services, Internet video and other Web applications that compete with their core businesses. But the rules give broadband providers flexibility to manage data on their systems to deal with problems such as network congestion and unwanted traffic including spam as long as they publicly disclose their network management practices.

Lindsay Lohan investigated for alleged battery LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lindsay Lohan is under investigation for an alleged misdemeanor battery against a female staffer at a rehab facility where the actress is receiving treatment, authorities said Tuesday.

Riverside County sheriff’s Deputy Herlinda Valenzuela said officers responded to a Betty Ford Center facility in Palm Desert on Dec. 12 shortly after 1 a.m. for an incident involving Lohan. Valenzuela says a female staffer reported having a dispute with the “Mean Girls” star and that she wanted to pursue charges. No arrests were made and Valenzuela says detectives continue to look into the case. Their results will be presented to Riverside County prosecutors, who will decide whether to file a criminal case, Valenzuela said. Messages for Lohan’s attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, were not immediately returned. An e-mail message seeking comment from a Betty Ford spokesman was not immediately returned, although the facility does not comment on its patients.

South Korean Christmas tree sign of new propaganda war

aSSoCiaTeD preSS

South Korean Christians sing a Christmas song in front of a 100-foot-tall steel Christmas tree that would be visible to North Koreans living near the Demilitarized Zone. The Christmas lights went on again for the ﬁrst time in seven years. The White House, however, rejected the idea, saying Pyongyang needed to change its “belligerent” behavior first and was not “even remotely ready” for negotiations. Press secretary Robert Gibbs said Tuesday there were no plans to debrief Richardson after his trip. What Washington wants from the North, he said, is conciliatory deeds, not words. “Six-party talks will be restarted again when the North Koreans display a willingness to change behavior. We’re not going to get a table in a room and have six-party talks just for the feel-good notion of having six-party talks,” he said. In Seoul, a senior South Korean government official said the military would remain prepared for the possibility of a “surprise” attack in coming days. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. On Aegibong Peak, about a mile (less than 2 kilometers) from the border that divides the Korean peninsula, marines toting rifles circled the Christmas tree as more than 100,000 twinkling lights blinked on. The brightly lit tree — with a cross on top — stood in stark relief to North Korea, where electricity is limited. Choir members dressed in white robes trimmed in blue and wearing red scarves and Santa Claus hats gathered beneath the steel structure draped with multicolored lights, illuminated stars and snowflakes. An audience of about 200 listened as they sang “Joy to the World” and other Christmas carols. “I hope that Christ’s love and peace will spread to the

North Korean people,” said Lee Young-hoon, a pastor of the Seoul church that organized the lighting ceremony. About 30 percent of South Koreans are Christian. The 100-foot-tall (30-metertall) steel tree sits on a peak high enough for North Koreans living in border towns to see it, and well within reach of their nation’s artillery. Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin said an attack from North Korea was certainly possible but unlikely. The event took place uninterrupted. North Korea is officially atheist and with only a handful of sanctioned churches in Pyongyang with services for foreigners. For decades, the rival Koreas have fought an ideologi-

LONDON (AP) — A largescale terror attack was aimed at British landmarks and public spaces, security officials said Tuesday as more details emerged and police searched the homes of 12 British suspects being held for questioning. The men — whose ages range from 17 to 28 — were arrested Monday in the largest counterterrorism raid in nearly two years. At least five were of Bangladeshi origin. Lord Carlile, the government’s independent watchdog for terror legislation, said Tuesday the alleged plot appeared significant and involved several British cities, but he did not identify the targets. Police have up to 28 days to either charge the men or release them. Possible targets that were scouted include the Houses of Parliament in London and shopping areas around the U.K., according to a security official who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing. The plot, however, was unconnected to a larger European plot uncovered in the fall involving a Mumbai-style shoot-

TOKYO (AP) — Residents of southern Japanese islands scrambled to community centers early Wednesday when a strong offshore quake briefly triggered a tsunami alert, but the 7.4-magnitude temblor prompted only a mild swelling of waves. There were no immediate reports of damage from the quake, which struck at 2:20 a.m. (1720 GMT Tuesday) about 80 miles (130 kilometers) off the southern coast of Chichi Island in the Pacific Ocean and was felt as far away as Tokyo. “It shook quite violently. I’m sure everyone was scared,” said Kenji Komura, principal at a high school on Chichi Island. Japan’s Meteorological Agency issued an alert for a tsunami of up to 6 feet (2 meters) for Chichi and nearby islands and warned of a milder tsunami for the southern coasts of the main Japanese island. It later lifted all warnings

and said a minor swelling of about 1 foot (30 centimeters) was observed on Chichi’s shorelines about 40 minutes after the quake. Scores of residents of Chichi, which is about 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) south of Tokyo, and nearby Haha islands rushed to community centers and school buildings before the warnings were lifted. Island fisheries official Tomoo Yamawaki said fishermen moved boats from the coast “to protect them from the tsunami.” The quake took place at a depth of 6 miles (10 kilometers), the Meteorological Agency said.

cal war, using leaflets, loudspeakers and radio broadcasts across the border. At the height of the propaganda, South Korea’s military speakers blared messages near the border 20 hours a day, officials say. South Korea halted the campaign about seven years ago — including the longtime practice of lighting the huge Christmas tree — as ties between North and South warmed under an era of reconciliation. The church had sought government permission to light the tree over the years, but had been denied several years running.

GIMPO, South Korea (AP) — As troops stood guard and a choir sang carols, South Koreans lit a massive steel Christmas tree that overlooks the world’s most heavily armed border and is within sight of atheist North Korea. The lighting of the tree Tuesday after a seven-year hiatus marked a pointed return to a tradition condemned in Pyongyang as propaganda. The provocative ceremony — which needed government permission — was also a sign that President Lee Myung-bak’s administration is serious about countering the North’s aggression with measures of its own in the wake of an artillery attack that killed four South Koreans last month. While the North has made some conciliatory gestures in recent days — indicating to a visiting U.S. governor that it might allow international inspections of its nuclear programs — Seoul appears unmoved. Pyongyang has used a combination of aggression and reconciliation before to extract concessions from the international community, and the resurrection of the tree lighting at Aegibong signaled the South was ready to play hardball until it sees real change from the North. Earlier, a South Korean destroyer prowled the sea and fighter jets tore across the skies in preparation for possible North Korean attacks, a day after Seoul held a round of artillery drills from front-line Yeonpyeong Island near the Koreas’ disputed western sea boundary. On Wednesday, South Korea’s navy began annual firing and anti-submarine exercises off the less-tense east coast. South Korea’s army and air force also planned large-scale joint firing drills near the Koreas’ land border Thursday. The routine training will involve more weapons and troops because of ongoing tension. “We will completely punish the enemy if it provokes us again like the shelling of Yeonpyeong Island,” Brig. Gen. Ju Eun-sik, chief of the army’s 1st armored brigade, said in a statement. After warning of deadly retaliation for the firing drills the South staged Monday, North Korea said it would not deign to fight back, and indicated to visiting New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson it was prepared to consider ways to work with the South on restoring security along the tense border. Richardson praised Pyongyang for refraining from retaliation and said his visit to the North provided an opening for a resumption of negotiations aimed at dismantling North Korea’s nuclear program. North Korea pulled out of six-nation talks to provide Pyongyang with aid in exchange for disarmament in April 2009, but since has said it is willing to resume them.

CHAPEL HILL — Dexter Strickland 85 made it a UNC W&Mary 60 p r i o r i t y lately to play more aggressively, pushing the ball downcourt and making things happen at both ends of the floor. It’s not a coincidence that when that happens, North Carolina looks like North Carolina again. Strickland scored a careerhigh 19 points, and the Tar Heels had five players reach double figures in an 85-60 rout of William & Mary on Tuesday night. “When Dexter’s attacking, we definitely feed off of that, because that’s like Carolina basketball,” teammate Reggie

Bullock said. “Push the ball in transition, get easy fast-break points.

Harrison Barnes scored all 13 of his points in the second half and Bullock added 11 for North Carolina, which shot nearly 44 percent on 32-of-73 shooting and took advantage of some awful early shooting by the Tribe. “It’s very important for us to attack,” Strickland said. “One of the emphases ... is at-

RALEIGH — There are few distractions for North Carolina State to deal with these days. All the Wolfpack have to worry about is their bowl game, and that’s just how linebacker Audie Cole likes it. “Not really any injuries, no distractions, nothing going on,” Cole said Monday. “Just kind of show up and play football.” That’s certainly not the case for the Wolfpack’s opponent in the Champs Sports Bowl. Nearly all of the talk at No. 22 West Virginia (9-3) is about the coaching changes that recently were made public and will begin

West Virginia has to handle those questions about who and what they are.” The only lingering issue for the Wolfpack (8-4) is whether this will be the final football game for quarterback Russell Wilson, who spent much of the summer playing second base in the Colorado Rockies’ minor-

Carson falls from 1st place North Iredell wins NPC showdown with ease BY DAVID SHAW

OLIN — With a chance to ornament its record-breaking season, CarN. Iredell 66 son’s girls basketball team Carson 48 threw up a jingle bell rock on Tuesday. The upstart Cougars could have spent Christmas perched atop the NPC standings, but a 66-48 loss at North Iredell left them on the outside looking in. “A lot of people have said that we’re a fluke,” junior Chloe Monroe said after Carson (7-3, 2-1) had its seven-game winning streak snapped. “Tonight would have been a good time to prove them wrong.” Instead, Carson was a quart low in the grit department against North (8-1, 3-0), the new MONROE league-leader. The hosts dominated the boards, repeatedly got second and third shooting opportunities and played a far more physical game than the Cougars. “We let them push us around,” sophomore Tyesha Phillips said. “We didn’t show what we could do. We’re not the Carson we used to be, but we’re better than this.” Both coaches — Carson’s Brooke Misenheimer and North’s Tami Ramsey — felt defense spelled the difference. “They did such a good job of attacking us and then making the right pass,” said Misenheimer. “There were times that we couldn’t defend their girls. That hurt us.” North’s defensive pressure was a key in the first quarter, when the Raiders forced eight

LANDIS — Prior to Tuesday’s NPC game, free-spirited West W. Iredell 82 Iredell scoring machine S. Rowan 72 Zach Follrod pointed at his pride and joy — an amazing blonde Afro as thick and deep as the rough at any British Open. “Jackie Moon,” said a smiling Follrod, referencing a Will Ferrell movie role. Follrod who completed his unique look with a green headband and green Nikes, appeared to be the perfect victim for South Rowan’s vocal student section, but he played a nearly perfect basketball game. He dumped 41 points on the Raiders. The 6-foot-4 senior scored half his team’s points as West Iredell beat South 82-72 for an NPC victory. “We’ve been losing tough games,” said Follrod, whose previous career high was 25. “We really needed to get this one.” South lost despite brilliance by sophomore Josh Medlin, who scored 29 points, and a spectacular second half by Johnathan Gaddy, who got 17 of his 22 after the break. West Iredell coach Benjamin Johnson has seen Follrod’s act — lot of body control, lots of follow shots, lots of free throws — dozens of times. Not that’s he’s tired of it. “The kids you see now, everyone wants to be LeBron James, but Zach plays like he’s in some 40-year-old backyard league,” Johnson said. “All he does is make smart basketball plays.” Follrod shot it, passed it, handled it and rebounded it. Defense isn’t necessarily his forte, but he even blocked a few shots.

STATESVILLE — It was the Nick Statesville 67 S c h o f i e l d W. Rowan 49 Show Tuesday night as Statesville’s junior guard hung 36 points on the West Rowan boys in a 67-49 Greyhound victory. The game was for first place in the NPC and Statesville (6-2, 3-0) showed they wanted it more. Statesville won despite being without starting point guard Jarrod Gill, who is battling tendonitis in his knee. The game began very phys-

ical and hotly contested as neither team could really get shots to fall early. Then Schofield began to take over. He had 24 of his 36 points in the second half and was able to slice his way through the Falcon defense at will. “He (Schofield) played a heck of a game and so did they as a team,” West Rowan coach Mike Gurley said. “You have to give Statesville all of the credit. Hopefully next time we play them, we will play a lot better and I’ll coach a lot better.” West did get its normal production from star point guard Keshun Sherrill who had 17

STATESVILLE —The West Rowan girls basketball team used a balW. Rowan 75 anced attack early and ofStatesville 25 ten Tuesday night as it smashed Statesville 75-24. Coach Erich Epps was able to get significant minutes to everyone on his team with the exception of guard Brooke Harrington who was the victim of a concussion early in the contest. “We knew that Statesville was down this year and we wanted to mix and match some lineups and get all of the girls in the game as much as we could,” said Epps. West began the game with a fullcourt press and the quickness of Ayana Avery and the length of Shay Steele wreaked havoc all night for the Lady Falcons as they accumulated 28 steals in the game.

“This win was really big for us as we are 2-1 in the conference and our girls needed this after the loss to Carson, which was tough,” Epps said. “But I’m really proud of our effort on defense.” West Rowan was led by Avery’s 21 points, 12 of which came from behind the AVERY arc, and Steele’s 19. Freshman point guard Nycieko Dixon added 15 points and five steals. A funny moment occured late in the game when West Rowan guard Brittany Barber threw up a Harlem Globetrotter-like shot over her head and swished it. It was that kind of night for the Falcons.

From staff reports

The North Hills boys basketball team nipped Veritas 48-45 Tuesday night on a 3-pointer by Oshon West with 3.2 seconds left. The game was a semifinal in a tournament at Queens. While West led the way with 16 points, coach Jason Causby was happy with the inside play of Moussa Doucara. the 6-foot-8 center who had to battle a WEST Veritas team that had six players 6-5 or taller, including 6-9 Edge Warren. “I thought Moussa did a great job of neutralizing Warren inside,” Causby said. Warren managed just 12 points. After Veritas split two free throws to tie the score at 45 with 14.5 seconds left, North Hills called timeout at halfcourt and had a play set up for West to drive right of the lane with seven seconds left and look for Rashawn Joshua rolling with him. But when Veritas didn’t apply any pressure on the inbounds pass, West hit the open shot. Justin Wright scored 10 points and dished out three assists for North Hills (10-6). “I felt like this was a good win for our guys,” Causby said. “We were able to pull out a win when we did not play our best.” The Eagles play tonight in the championship game against the winner of Forestview and Hopewell.

 Prep basketball Carson’s Cody Clanton was out with back trouble and didn’t play against North Iredell on Tuesday night in Olin. So coach Brian Perry decided to go with a Twin Tower look of Rik Heggins and Dylan Eagle, a pair of 6foot-4 inside players. It worked as Carson defeated the Raiders 52-38 to even its record at 22 in the NPC. It was the first league loss for North Iredell (4-5, 2-1). “We thought we’d start those two together,” Perry said of Eagle and Heggins. “That gave us more size inside. We did a good job rebounding, which is something we haven’t been doing. Rik is getting dadgum better every day. ” Nick Houston has always been good, and he continued his hot streak with a game-high 22 points. He hit four 3-pointers and also drove inside for some buckets. Devon Heggins returned to action and scored 12 for the Cougars (4-6). “This was a huge win for us,” Perry said. “It gets us back in the conference race. A road win was critical.”  A.L. Brown’s boys beat Cox Mill 66-51 for an SPC win. Teven Jones poured in 30 for the Wonders (7-2, 3-0). Braxton Waddell scored 13 points, and Keeon Johnson and Derrick Copeland had nine each. • Davie County’s boys improved to 9-0 with a 65-51 victory at Thomasville.

Louisville brings the beef Associated Press

St. PETERBURG, Fla. —Justin Burke threw for a Louisville 31 pair touchdowns So. Miss 28 and Jeremy Wright scored on a 95-yard kickoff return Tuesday night to help Louisville beat former Conference USA rival Southern Mississippi 31-28 in the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl. Burke tossed scoring passes to 11 yards to Cameron Graham and 10 yards to Josh Chichester while the Cardinals (7-6) erased a 14-point firsthalf deficit, then produced a go-ahead field goal in the fourth quarter. Austin Davis threw 205 yards and two touchdowns to become Southern Mississippi’s career TD pass leader, moving ahead of Brett Favre and Lee Roberts in the Golden Eagles record book with 53 in three seasons. The Southern Miss quarterback also scored on a 17-yard reception from receiver Quentin Pierce. Wright’s long kickoff return made it 28-all early in the fourth quarter. Chris Philpott’s 36-yard field goal gave the Cardinals their first lead with 6:30 remaining. Davis completed 19 of 32 passes, including TD throws of 32 yards to Pierce and 8 yards to Zeke Walters for the Golden Eagles (8-5). In addition to becoming the South-

ern Miss career TD pass leader, the junior moved into second place on the school’s career passing list with 7,396 yards — 299 short of the 7,695 Favre threw for from 1987-90. Meanwhile, Desmond Johnson scored on a 62yard run and finished with a seasonhigh 107 yards rushing. The win enabled Louisville to finish Charlie Strong’s first season as a head coach with the Cardinals’ first winning record since 2006. Bilal Powell rushed for 75 yards for Louisville — well below his season average of 120.9 — however the 215-pound senior was instrumental in helping the Cardinals exhaust most of the clock after finally taking the lead. Although they were meeting for the first time in a bowl game, there’s a long history between the former conference rivals. The Cardinals and Golden Eagles faced each other every season from 1978 to 1991 and both were members of C-USA 1996 to 2004, the season before Louisville moved to the Big East. Southern Miss scored on its first two possessions, taking a quick 14-0 lead on Pierce’s TD reception and Johnson’s long run that left Louisville’s defense, which ranked 11th nationally during the regular season, looking sluggish and bewildered.

and the Warriors (1-8, 1-1) trailed just 28-25 heading to the final eight minutes. That’s when Goins got accidentally decked, and that’s when the Raiders started playing with a lot more fire and energy. A flurry on the boards by Maria Gaddy, who scored all nine of her points in the final quarter, finally gave South some separation, and the Raiders’ defensive pressure caused enough turnovers to maintain a lead. “We were able to rotate defensive and offensive players in and out, and our depth made the difference in the fourth quarter,” Smith said. “Gaddy’s defense was huge — she can guard any position on the floor — and we played pretty good man-to-man as a team.”

West Iredell (5-4, 2-2) has a more experienced team than South (2-7, 0-2), and that was the difference. That and South’s lack of size and defense. “Medlin is really starting to show just how special he’s going to be,” South coach John Davis said. “But defensively, we were just a sieve out there. We preach not letting the other team get into the middle of the floor and into the lane, and all they did all night was get into the lane and to the foul line.” When 6-6 West Iredell center Matt Harris, foulplagued in the first half, followed up a missed shot with the first dunk of his career and encored with a three-point play, the Warriors led 55-42 late in the third quarter. A four-point play by tyler buckwell/SALISBURY POST Gaddy — he drilled a corSouth’s Qua Neal goes up for a jumper. ner 3 as he was fouled — cut the lead back to single digits, and South challenged the rest of the way. A technical foul against Johnson with 2:15 left— he got upset over a call that was reversed — gave South its final chance, and a jump hook by Medlin cut West Iredell’s lead to 71-67. South had several opportunities to get a defensive board on West Iredell’s next possession. Instead, Harris out-fought everyone for the ball, and the Warriors put the game away with free throws. West Iredell didn’t make a single 3-pointer. “Everyone says the 3point line’s changed the game,” Davis said. “What they showed tonight is you can score a bunch of points without the 3.”

LANDIS — On a night when many S. Rowan 51 girls qualiW. Iredell 36 fied for freq u e n t fouler mileage, South Rowan senior Sam Goins took the hardest shot. When Goins went up in the lane for a jumper early in the fourth quarter, she was inadvertently clobbered by West Iredell’s Kelli Bolick. Goins went down and stayed down, finally leaving the court with tears in her eyes and South clinging to a three-point lead. Nicole Barringer came off the bench and converted one of the free throws Goins was awarded, and Goins was able to return once her head cleared. She led the Raiders to a 51-36 NPC victory with 15 points and 12 rebounds. “I did get beat up a little bit, but we really got it done when we had to tonight,” Goins said with a smile. “We were all tired of losing.”

Chelsea McManus fights her way through traffic. South broke a four-game skid against a team that logged an NPC victory against East Rowan. The Raiders (4-5, 1-1) shot 22 percent in the first half but still led 19-15 because the Warriors also struggled. West Iredell guard Tess Sigmon, who could play for anyone, hit two 3s in the third quarter to keep her team in it,

CARSON FROM 1B Carson turnovers and grabbed a 158 lead. “Our defense sets the tone all the time,” said Ramsey. “We picked up our intensity right away and got some steals that led to some easy buckets.” Carson hung around in the second quarter when it trimmed an 11-point deficit to 29-24, thanks to a 3-pointer and a pair of free throws by Monroe. It was a short-lived rally. “In the second half we let them dictate everything we did,” said

Monroe. Carson’s top scorer with 13 points. “First of all, they shut down our shooters.Teams are going to do that to us. If we had just driven the ball more, it would have opened stuff up for us. But we didn’t do enough of that.” While Allison Blackwell and three-point specialist Kelly Dulkoski were both contained — each shot 2-for-7 from the field and scored six points — the Cougars had no one crashing the boards. A snapshot example came early in the third quarter when North attempted six shots on a single possession before senior Deesa Singletary sank a layup. “There’s absolutely no excuse for

weakness somewhere on the floor.” Carson didn’t truly unravel until late in the third quarter. It went fourand-a-half minutes without a field goal before Monroe canned a 3-ball from the left side that cut the deficit to 37-27. Blackwell’s layup with 1:15 left in the period made it an eightpoint game. But when North senior Emory Haynes hit a 3-pointer just 10 seconds later, it launched a 12-2 run that cracked the game open. The Raiders led by as much as 62-40 after Haynes converted two free throws with 4:54 to play. “You know, they’re a good team that shoots the ball well, plays defense and has some depth,” said Ramsey.

“You can’t ignore them any more.” Carson’s a good team that picked a bad time to play a bad game. “We didn’t do anything like we usually do,” Misenheimer said. “They smacked us in the mouth, put a lot of pressure on us and we didn’t respond well. We see where we are and know where we want to be. We just gonna have to get better.” CARSON (48) — Monroe 13, Phillips 10, Blackwell 6, White 6, Dulkoski 6, Heggins 3, Barringer 2, Holman 2.

Owens out for season

Hot Mavs win

Associated Press Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — Caron Butler scored 20 points, Dirk Nowitzki had 17 and the Dallas Mavericks became the latest team to topple the reconstructed Orlando Magic in a 105-99 victory Tuesday night. Tyson Chandler added 16 points to help the Mavericks pull away in the fourth quarter for their 16th win in 17 games. A night after winning at Miami, they shot 50 percent from the floor, including 46 percent from 3point range. The Magic have lost their first two games since Gilbert Arenas, Jason Richardson and Hedo Turkoglu were acquired on Saturday, and eight of their last nine. Dwight Howard had 26 points and 23 rebounds but got no help from teammates. Bulls 121, 76ers 76 CHICAGO — Derrick Rose and Luol Deng each scored 22 points, and Chicago beat Philadelphia for its eighth win in nine games.

Despite missing big men Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson, Chicago dominated nearly every offensive category and recorded its most lopsided win of the season. Rose also had 12 assists for his seventh double-double, while Carlos Boozer had 16 points and 11 rebounds, and Kurt Thomas added 12 points. Thunder 99, Bobcats 81 CHARLOTTE — Kevin Durant scored 32 points and Oklahoma City overcame a poor shooting night by dominating the fourth quarter in a victory over reeling Charlotte. The Thunder entered the final period trailing 69-68, but responded with a 25-3 run. The Bobcats missed their first 11 shots, committed five turnovers and didn't get their first field goal until 2:52 remained, producing sarcastic cheers. Durant hit 14-of-16 free throws and added seven rebounds. Russell Westbrook scored 15 points. Stephen Jackson scored 20 points and Boris Diaw

Lopez was 8 of 14 from the field, and missed only one of his 11 free throws.

CINCINNATI — Terrell Owens had knee surgery, ending the wide receiver’s revival season with the Cincinnati Bengals. Owens tore cartilage in his left knee two weeks ago, but kept playing. He aggravated the injury while making a cut on the opening series of a 19-17 win over Cleveland on Sunday, forcing him to hobble off the field. Owens signed a one-year deal with a $2 million base salary at the start of training camp, when the Bengals were one of the few teams interested. He proved he could still play, leading the team with 72 catches for 983 yards and nine touchdowns. • NEW YORK — The NFL’s charitable foundation is awarding nearly $1 million in grants for research related to concussions, an issue in the forefront all season.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL MIAMI — Louisville’s Rick Pitino will coach Puerto Rico’s national team next summer in hopes of qualifying for the 2012 Olympics. The Puerto Rico basketball federation introduced Pitino as its next coach. Pitino met with players and officials Sunday to discuss the possibility. Puerto Rico last qualified for the Olympics in 2004, beating the United States on its way to a sixth-place finish. Its best Olympic performance was fourth, in 1964 in Tokyo. Potential players next sum-

mer include Dallas Mavericks point guard J.J. Barea, Miami Heat guard Carlos Arroyo and Denver Nuggets forward Renaldo Balkman.

BASEBALL WASHINGTON (AP) — Stephen Strasburg says his rehabilitation is “on track” and he hopes to start throwing a few weeks before spring training. Strasburg’s sensational rookie season was cut short by reconstructive elbow surgery in September. He was 5-3 with a 2.91 ERA and 92 strikeouts in 12 starts this year, including 14 strikeouts in his major league debut. Strasburg said he will see his doctor after the holidays to get an indication of when he can start throwing. He’ll continue to work out near his San Diego home, hoping to get in a few weeks of throwing before rejoining the Nationals when pitchers and catchers report in February.

They used a 14-2 run midway through the first half to go up by double figures, then pushed the lead into the 20s with a 20-4 burst late in the half. Zeller’s three-point play capped the second run, making it 40-16 with 1:23 before the break. Most of the early heavy lifting, though, was done by North Carolina’s non-starters. The reserves scored 19 of the Tar Heels’ first 33 points — including 10 at that point from McDonald, a backup guard who had his third double-figure game of the season. “Coming off the bench, we just feel like we need to bring more pressure and more enthusiasm,” McDonald said. “We feel like we need to get the first team in gear, and just really put a lot of pressure and bring a little life to the team.”

Strickland, who was 8 of 12, surpassed the 18 points he scored both last year against Rutgers and last week against Texas. He finished in double figures for the third straight game, the first time in his college career he’s done that, and has combined to score 50 points in his last three games after making a conscious decision to be more aggressive. “I felt like there’s points in the game where I didn’t take shots, and I had the open shot, and I didn’t drive to the basket,” Strickland said. “When people drive, it’s not just to help me, it’s to help others — someone rotates, you pass it off to (Zeller) or pass it off to (forward John Henson) and get them the ball. So it’s very important for me to be aggressive and everybody else.” Said coach Roy Williams: “He couldn’t throw it in the ocean the first part of the season. Now he’s making shots. ... Everything looks better when the ball goes in the basket.”

member AP football poll panel to beat out his BCS title game counterpart, Gene Chizik of Auburn. Stanford’s Jim Harbaugh was third with five votes, TCU’s Gary Patterson, last year’s winner, and Mark Dantonio of Michigan State each received three votes. Getting one vote apiece were Nevada’s Chris Ault, Oklahoma State’s Mike Gundy and Miami, Ohio’s Mike Haywood, who led the school to a MAC championship before taking the top job at Pittsburgh last week. Mike Bellotti, Oregon’s longtime head coach through the 2008 season, hired Kelly away from New Hampshire

to run the Ducks offense in 2007. He installed an up-tempo, spread-option attack that has been growing more potent ever since. JOEPA’S BIRTHDAY STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — No special plans for Joe Paterno on his 84th birthday — just two Penn State practices. The Nittany Lions spent Tuesday drilling in the morning and afternoon in Clearwater, Fla., as they get ready for the Outback Bowl against Florida on Jan. 1. Penn State is preparing this week at the spring training home of the Philadelphia Phillies before moving to Tampa this weekend.

They’ll be tested by a West Virginia defense that ranks in the top three nationally in three of the four major defensive stat categories, and is the only team in the nation that hasn’t allowed more than 21 points in any game. But coordinator Jeff Casteel’s unique 3-3-5 alignment isn’t entirely unfamiliar to O’Brien. His Boston College teams faced his defenses every year from Casteel’s arrival in 2001 until the Eagles left the Big East following the 2004 season. The Wolfpack coaches “understand some of the concepts they use now,” O’Brien said. “Everybody changes a little bit here and there to suit their personality and their personnel, but having at least gameplanned against it for years, it’s not back to square one, like you go get ready for the wishbone once a year.”

Smart move.

Kelly received 24 votes from the 60-

coach Geno Auriemma, never at a loss for words, was close Tuesday night. "It's pretty amazing. It really is," he said. His No. 1-ranked Huskies topped the 88-game winning streak set by John Wooden's UCLA men's team from 1971-74, beating No. 22 Florida State 93-62. Playing with the relentlessness that has become its trademark — and would have made Wooden proud — UConn blew past the Seminoles as it has so many other teams in the last 21⁄2 years.

WEST BOYS FroM 1B couldnt have done it without this great team. We are buidling a dynasty,” said Schofield. Josh Gaither was Schofield’s partner-in-crime as he poured in 19 points and gathered 6 boards. West Rowan has definitely felt the extremes this week of the ultimate high after beating North Rowan in a tough overtime game, and now the low of getting handled by Statesville. “I told the guys coming in that this was a very good Statesville team that we were playing and that we could not afford to let up or be off our game but unfortunately we were just that,” said Gurley. West Rowan did hang tough, especially in the first half as they trailed 31-27 at intermission. The one thing that West could never get on their side was the “Big Mo” — momentum. Everytime that West would get something going their favor, a crucial charge coul or missed free throws seemed to spell their doom. The Falcons went 18 of 29 from the line, whereas the Greyhounds shot 15 of 20. “We just go back to work. It’s as simple as that. We hit on what we need to correct in practice and get ready for the Christmas tournament, but to me this game tonight was

more important than the tournament because it was for the conference lead. We’d love to win the classic, but this would have been bigger,” said Gurley. “We were highly concerned with Keshun Sherrill and we wanted to take him out of the game and make one of their others players beat us, which worried me with Jarrod being hurt but Marquis Willis stepped up huge for us tonight,” said Statesville coach Sonny Schofield, Nick’s father. “We played really well tonight and I’m very proud of our team and of course of Nick but he doesn’t get 36 if not for his teammates helping him out and getting him the ball in good scoring positions,” As mentioned, West Rowan now will regroup and try to bring home the Moir Classic championship over some very tough teams.

Symptoms may indicate grand-mal seizures Dear Dr. Gott: I am writing about someone I know. He is 40 years old and has had the following symptoms for at least the past 10 years: fits of rage, seizure-like episodes (unconscious, body goes rigid, convulses, wets self, confusion, weakness and vomiting), hand tremors, neck and shoulder pain, and self-confessed faintDR. PETER ing spells (although these GOTT may have b e e n seizures). Two times following seizures, tests gave no indication of having had a seizure.

Do you have any suggestions about what this may be? Dear Reader: This individual has most of the symptoms of grand-mal seizures. This type of seizure is dramatic and is what most people picture when they hear the word “seizure.” His symptoms of fits of rage, hand tremors and neck and shoulder pain may be related brain damage caused by the seizures or the result of head trauma caused by falling or flailing around during the seizure. Another type of seizure, known as a frontal-lobe seizure, can cause emotional symptoms, such as rage, depression and euphoria. I strongly recommend that a neurologist see this gentleman for a complete examination and extensive testing.

The specialist will need to know what testing he has had in the past, whether he is on any medication, how much alcohol he drinks, whether he uses illicit drugs, how often the seizures occur, when his first seizure occurred and whether it directly followed anything, such as head trauma, and more. Your brief note doesn’t say whether he is under the care of a neurologist. If he is, why isn’t he on medication (which I assume is the case, since you don’t mention it) to help control the seizures? Untreated seizure disorders can be life-threatening, not only to the sufferer but to others. For instance, if he has a seizure while driving, he will lose control of his car, and if others are also on the road with

To hold up or not to hold up BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

Fran Lebowitz said, “No animal should ever jump up on the dining-room furniture unless absolutely certain that he can hold his own in the conversation.” I knew one suitably vociferous cat, but some guests felt his vocabulary was too limited for him to eat with us! In bridge we have the hold-up play. Although common in no-trump, it is rare in suit contracts. Is this fiveclub deal one of them, or is it a hoax that would fit into

April 1 no questions asked? West leads the spade king and East plays his nine. What would you do? North made a negative double, showing four hearts and enough points to act. He might have had five or even six hearts if his hand was too weak to respond two hearts. You took the plunge with five clubs. Here, three no-trump would have worked well, but could have been very silly. You have 10 top tricks (one spade, one heart and eight clubs) and at least one establishable winner in hearts. However, what happens if

East has the heart king? Here, you will be safe as long as you hold up your spade ace at trick one. You win the second spade, draw trumps, and play a heart to dummy’s jack. It loses, but you have 11 tricks. If, though, you win the first trick, East would take his heart king and return his second spade. You would lose one heart and two spades. What happens if you duck the first trick and East had a singleton spade? Then you would have to hope West has the heart king. However, a 52 split is much more likely than 6-1.

him (or in the car), they are in danger as well. As for the normal testing, many people with seizure disorders can have normal MRIs, so this may not be indicative of anything. Unless he is ignoring the condition and refusing medical treatment, there is no good reason for him to have gone undiagnosed and untreated for 10-plus years. He needs to get to a doctor before he does permanent/further damage to himself or harms those around him. Dear Dr. Gott: Two things. First, do you have any help for hair loss (secondary to hypothyroidism)? Second, in nurse’s training, we learned that castor oil applied carefully on the eyelids at night and washed off with baby

shampoo in the morning grew beautiful, thick lashes. A few weeks ago, I decided to wipe extra on my dry cuticles, and it helped. Dear Reader: Thank you for the tip about castor oil. I hope my readers will benefit from it. Now to your hair-loss question. If your thyroid hormones are not within normal limits, this may be contributing to your problem. If they are, you may be experiencing hair loss for a number of other reasons, such as a vitamin deficiency, genetics or a scalp condition. If you have itching, scaling or other issues with your scalp, make an appointment with a dermatologist. There are several types of shampoo purported to pro-

mote hair growth with various B vitamins and/or biotin. My readers have had success in the past with the Tresemme line. Rogaine is the other over-the-counter product shown to work in studies, but it can be expensive, and results reverse when the product is discontinued. You may wish to try adding a B multivitamin to your diet. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online. His website is www.AskDrGottMD .com. United FeatUre Syndicate

Rapper confesses to ‘93 NY murder, authorities say NEW YORK (AP) — The 1993 killing of a man outside a New York City housing complex was a cold case for years. Then a suspect appeared on detectives’ doorstep last week. Authorities say oncepromising rapper G. Dep walked into a police precinct to confess to the shooting. He’s now being held without bail on a murder charge in the slaying of John Henkel. The rapper’s lawyer says 36-year-old G. Dep is “trying to remake his life.”

G. Dep had a couple of hits with “Special Delivery” and “Let’s Get It” in the early 2000s. But he has said he’s been mired in drug problems in recent years. He has racked up at least a dozen arrests on drug and other charges. He told the New York Post he didn’t know the shooting was deadly until investigators told him so.
