BY SHELLEY SMITH [email protected]EAST SPENCER — Three-year-old Zachary Doolittle survived an early Friday morning fire without a scratch, but his 10-week-old brother, Jacob, was killed. His parents, Joey and Samantha Doolittle, were being treated at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center for severe burns. By Friday night, the smoke had set- tled at the 310 E. Henderson St. home, and relatives taking care of Zachary said he was running around enjoying the sunshine that afternoon while his parents received treatment at Baptist. But they said he vividly remembers the events from earlier in the morn- ing. “When he woke up (from his nap) he said, ‘My buddy’s gone,’ ” said Kei- th Ferrell, a cousin of the Doolittles. “He said just a while ago, out of nowhere, ‘My daddy said help, help, help.’ “He knows exactly what happened.

Both of them was burnt, their hair was singed.” An in-law, Tammy Jo McBryde, said Joey’s face and hands looked like they were melting. Beth McBryde said her son and hus- band tried to go into the house, but a huge fireball came at them when they opened the front door. One window to the bedroom was the only hope for getting Jacob out of the house. “We tried to go through a window, we tried everything,” she said. “We just couldn’t get in there.” McBryde said a motor was thrown at the window, which broke the glass, but no one could fit through the small space. “We just couldn’t get in there,” McBryde said. “It’s just a bad thing that happened.” McBryde said East Spencer Police were the first on the scene, arriving within four minutes of her call to 911.

Dunn store owner charged with tryingto cash someone’s winning lottery ticketDUNN (AP) — Police
have charged a store ownerafter investigators say hekept a customer’s winninglottery ticket worth nearly$90,000.Police say Sureshbha Ish-
varbhai Patel told KeciaParker that her CarolinaCash 5 ticket was not a win-ner before trying to cash itat the North Carolina Edu-cation Lottery office inRaleigh.Lottery officials became
suspicious when he tried toclaim the winnings from theticket Parker bought last Au-gust at Carolina Beach.Police said Parker has
played the same five numbersin the game since it started,which helped provide evi-dence for the fraud case.Patel is charged with
felony larceny and obtainingproperty by false pretense. Itwasn’t clear if he has an attor-ney. Pop Mart’s lottery oper-ation has been suspended.
RALEIGH (AP) — Publicschool teachers feeling thethreat of layoffs, reducedbenefits and extra work of-fered each other encourage-ment Friday as they vowedto resist state budget cuts toeducation.For the nearly 1,000
members of the North Car-olina Association of Educa-tors gathered at their annu-al convention, the worriesahead revolve around whatthe General Assembly willcut to address a budgetshortfall estimated to be$2.4 billion in the year be-ginning in July.Ideas being floated by
the legislature’s new Repub-lican majority include elim-inating funding for thou-sands of teachers and evenmore teacher assistants,though no decisions havebeen made by budget-writ-
ers. The talk of possible lay-offs and likely benefit cutswas fresh evidence that theteaching profession is chron-ically undervalued, saidPamela Bunch, a 16-year busi-ness and career teacher inGuilford County.“I’m not in this for the mon-
ey, but I need money,” shesaid. “If public education los-es out, children can’t win.”Salaries for teachers are
paid by the state and toppedoff with additional contribu-tions from local governments.The local supplements varybased on the affluence of com-munities, and state spendinghinges on the availability offunds. Teachers received nostate raises the past two years.For the rest of the pastdecade, raises averaged 3 per-cent or lower except for abrief legislative catch-up ef-fort in 2006 and 2007, when
pay raises averaged 8 percentand 5 percent, respectively.William Hennessee, who
teaches in the Chapel Hill-Car-rboro school district, saiddeep cuts to public schoolswould harm the ability to con-tinue producing the educatedworkforce that has made Re-search Triangle Park one ofthe state’s best job-creatingcenters.“We didn’t cause the poor
economy. If anything, we builtthe good parts,” he said.Others focused their ire on
Republican legislators andtheir push to expand the num-ber of charter schools thatwould compete with existingschools.NCAE vice president Rod-
ney Ellis said the charterschool expansion is part of acampaign by GOP lawmakers
in several states to trim pub-lic school spending in order tocripple groups representingpublic employees.“This is not a coincidence,
ladies and gentlemen, it is aconspiracy,” Ellis said. “Theywant to privatize publicschools or convert them intocharter schools.”“We are officially at war,”
he said.That language dispirited
Alan Hawkes, president of theboard of directors of Greens-boro Academy, a K-8 charterschool. He said he attendedthe 65,000-member group’sconvention to try to persuadeNCAE’s leaders to accept thegrowth of charter schools.“If they celebrate diversi-
ty so much, why not diversityin public schools?” Hawkesasked.
8K foot race.By attracting racers and
spectators to downtown Kan-napolis, the event will pro-mote the Research Campusand its focus on healthier liv-ing through studies of nutri-tion and biotechnology.And it will solve a problem
that those researchers say ispreventing some from takingadvantage of the downtownlab complex.“What the Rotary Club is
doing is addressing the oneproblem that we’ve recog-nized,” Mary Ann Lila of N.C.State University said.She said students at the
eight universities with a pres-ence on the Research Campushave to pay for housing atschool, plus the additional costof a room during their re-search time in Kannapolis.Most don’t have the money
to rent hotel rooms or secondapartments here.“We’re picking the cream
of the crop students. Whenthey come, they visit the cam-pus and they’re blown awayby the wonderful facilities,”
Lila said.But other universities are
also making offers,” she said.And those with better hous-
ing may win out in the currenteconomy.Steven Zeisel, of UNC-
Chapel Hill, said recruitingthe best and brightest wouldmean offering better housing.“We’re giving them the
training, and we're hoping tocreate the science atmospherethat they want to be around,”Zeisel said.That includes opportunities
to socialize, and a collabora-tive living space — hopefully,Zeisel said, within walking dis-tance of downtown.Both researchers said that
could help bring new life todowntown Kannapolis.“Frankly, it’s going to revi-
talize the entire community.”Lila said.” “These students are going
to be walking around the Vil-lage, popping into shops andpubs. That’s what they’re go-ing to want to do. That’s howcampuses thrive.”
“Many of the senior scien-tists have said that this is theneed that would make it mucheasier for them to have stu-dents here,” Zeisel said.Whitley said that the club
plans for the Nutrithon to be-come an annual fundraisingevent to benefit the ResearchCampus.“We really want this to
grow into something that ben-efits the Research Campusand the community,” he said.More details on registra-
tion for the race will be avail-able in the coming weeks asthe event is finalized.

CAMP BUTNER — TheNorth Carolina NationalGuard has named Kannapolisresident Sgt. 1st Class RobertP. Wheeler Soldier of the Yearfor the enlisted ranks of E7-E9. Wheeler competed against
17 soldiers from across thestate over the past week. In addition to winning the
Soldier of the Year in the sen-ior enlisted category, heearned the right to representthe N.C. National Guard in theNoncommissioned Soldier ofthe Year Region 3 competitionscheduled later this year. Wheeler logged the highest
score for a male competitor inthe Army Physical FitnessTest, one of several obstaclesin the Soldier of the YearCompetition, which also in-cluded events such as a landnavigation course, a six-mileroad march, and many otherSoldier events.“This was my first time
competing in this event,” saidWheeler. “I’m excited for re-gionals.”Wheeler, impressed with
the camaraderie built duringthe week, noted he definitelymet a “great bunch of battlebuddies” at the competition.
N.C. National Guard Com-mander, Army Maj. Gen. Gre-gory A. Lusk, awarded Wheel-er with the North Carolina Na-tional Guard MeritoriousService Medal after namingthe winners. Wheeler, a native of St.
Johnsbury, Vt., is married andearned his physical educationdegree from Winthrop Uni-versity in 2003. During his 19 years of mil-
itary service, he earned theBronze Star, Army Commen-dation Medal with two BronzeOak Leafs, Army Achieve-ment Medal with one SilverOak Leaf, three Army GoodConduct Ribbons, NationalDefense Service Ribbon, IraqCampaign Medal with aBronze Service Star, GlobalWar on Terrorism Expedi-tionary Medal, Global War onTerrorism Service Medal,Armed Forces ReserveMedal, Noncommissioned Of-ficers Professional Develop-ment Ribbons and the ArmyService Ribbon with theBronze Service Star.
KANNAPOLIS — It’s notevery day a high school stu-dent gets to decide the fateof $100 million in funding.Tenth-grade students at
A.L. Brown High School hadthe chance to do that, plusask candid questions of cityand county leaders at Fri-day’s 4-H Citizenship Focus.The event gave students
firsthand experience withelected officials and howgovernment works.In Mandy Browning’s
classroom, one of severalmodel county commissionsessions divided the classinto groups to make budgetcuts.Kannapolis Finance Di-
rector Eric Davis moderat-ed a discussion as studentsmade their case for funding.They had $121.5 million
in requests.The county only had $100
million in revenue.Just like real county gov-
ernments in North Carolina,deficit spending was not al-lowed.And so students debated:
Have fewer health inspec-tors in restaurants, or few-er people enforcing laws?Cut money for education,
or take funds from socialservices?Omar Rodriguez ad-
dressed the five studentschosen at random to playthe roles of county commis-sioners. He argued more money
should be left for educationthan social services.“If the kids who are in
homeless shelters or fostercare don’t get the educationthey need, there will bemore problems,” he said.In the end, education got
another half-million dollars.And the mock Board of
Elections saw its budgetslashed — despite a higherrisk of election fraud.“I learned about the dif-
ferent departments, andfound that some are moreimportant than others,” saidTreasure Robinson, one ofthe members of the modelcounty commission.Rodriguez said he
learned how important it isto be prepared and to makea good case for yourself.“This makes government
applicable to their lives,”Browning said.Fellow civics teacher
Meredith Bost said the pro-gram was important be-cause she didn’t think stu-dents fully realized what lo-cal governments do.“They see the federal
government described inthe media,” Bost said. “Thishelps bridge the gap.”Across campus, four lo-
cal officials took part in apanel discussion.Students asked Sheriff
Brad Riley about the prob-lems of law enforcementand how he came to be thecounty’s top law enforcer.Kannapolis City Manag-
er Mike Legg fielded ques-tions about how the citydeals with budget cuts andchallenges of a growingpopulation.Cabarrus County Com-
missioner Chris Measmerdescribed the path thatbrought him to public serv-ice at the age of 23.And Todd Adams of the
Kannapolis Board of Educa-tion answered questionsabout practically every-thing, from school uniformsto whether or not year-round school was a goodidea.Students then broke into
smaller groups for a morefocused Q&A with other cityofficials.“I hope they come away
with a sense of responsibil-ity, of what it takes to makea community work,” Adamssaid after the event.

Lots of arguing, but housing committee making progress
Despite raised voices, interrup-tions and a lack of consensus on keypoints, the Better Housing Commit-tee made progress this week, accord-ing to a consultant and city officials.The city hired Glenn Harbeck, a
consultant from Wilmington, to fa-cilitate meetings for the committee,made up of residents appointed byCity Council in November.Harbeck, who has worked with
Salisbury since 1988, facilitated thegroup’s fifth meeting Wednesday.
Harbeck said he was pleased withthe vigorous debate. The committeeis tackling contentious issues likewhether the city should inspectrental property and what to do aboutabandoned houses and irresponsibletenants.“I didn’t see anything unusual
about that committee,” Harbecksaid. “The worst thing is when every-body is quiet and nobody says any-thing.”After four meetings, the commit-
tee had come to a stalemate betweenlandlords and neighborhood advo-cates.
“It has been totally dysfunction-al,” said former member Garth Bird-sey, who resigned before Wednes-day’s meeting because he took a newjob abroad. “When discussions starthappening, it turns into a bickeringsession between the two viewpoints.”Using a trained, objective facili-
tator helped, said Mayor Pro TemMaggie Blackwell.“I saw progress,” said Blackwell,
who has attended all the committeemeetings. “There’s definitely moreof a conciliatory mood.”Committee members began to ac-
knowledge each other’s positions ondivisive issues, she said.“I really saw growth, and I’m op-
timistic,” Blackwell said, adding she
believes the committee will bring an“excellent” plan to City Council.The committee spent more than
two hours dis-cussing the resultsof a public forumheld last month andattended by morethan 100 people.Harbeck also facili-tated the forum andprovided the com-mittee with a 10-page summary, in-cluding every con-cern expressed dur-ing a small-group process.Harbeck grouped the concerns
under 12 topics, ranked by the num-
ber of votes they received at the fo-rum. Each forum participant cast upto 10 votes.Topics include:• Code enforcement, 200 votes.• Rental housing inspection and
certification, 146.• Landlord responsibilities, 92.• Crime/public safety, 63.• Court system and rental hous-
ing, 57.• Community appearance, 46.• Database and information, 42.• Tenant responsibilities, 38.• Pit bulls, 36.• Incentives and investment, 31.• Education about housing rights

Patricia Frazier WatkinsWILMINGTON — Patricia Frazier Watkins, after being
apart for only a very short time, on March 17, 2011, went tojoin her beloved Peter J.
She was born in Badin to the late Dr. John Frazier and SaraHeider Frazier in 1926, and grew up in Salis-bury. Pat was a cheerleader at Boyden HighSchool, an excellent junior golfer, archer,swimming star and all around athlete. Locallegend has it that Pete once intercepted a pass;Pat outran him to the goal line, and was waitingfor him in the end zone to give him a hug.
Pat attended Duke University, where shestudied nursing. She was a member of the
Duke Diving Team. She continued to golf, swim and playbridge with her friends all through life.
On her birthday, Dec. 22, 1946, she married Pete Watkins,her high school sweetheart. The joke was that she picked thisdate for Pete, so he would only have to buy one present, in-stead of three, but he always bought separate presents for allthree events (a very smart man!).
They moved to Wilmington in 1948 and soon joined GraceUnited Methodist Church, where she was a longtime SundaySchool teacher and pillar of the church. Pat was a lifelongscholar of biblical studies and visited the Middle East on an ar-chaeological tour to further her knowledge.
Pat was a true Christian and believed in helping the poorand oppressed. Before 1969, there were no public schoolkindergartens. In the mid-'60s, while doing outreach, Pat iden-tified a need to prepare the children in the Grace Churchneighborhood for first grade. Through perseverance, persua-sion and her passion, she helped to create an inter-racialpreschool/kindergarten for the local children, hosted by thechurch. Anyone living in Wilmington at that time can imaginewhat an enormous accomplishment that was.
She was on the board of the Salvation Army, The Girls Cluband many other service organizations where she put her be-liefs into action. Her greatest legacy may be the sense of fair-ness and love she passed down to her children, her grandchil-dren and her friends.
She is survived by her children, Sally, Ann, Mark, Bruceand wife Pam; and her two grandchildren, Lillian CaseyWatkins and Peter Judson Watkins IV.
Service and Visitation: Funeral services will be held at 1p.m. Monday, March 21 at Grace United Methodist Church onthe corner of Fourth and Grace Street. Visitation will followthe service at the church.
Memorials: In lieu of flowers, donations may be made toGrace United Methodist Church, the Methodist Home for Chil-dren, 1041 Washington St., Raleigh, NC 27605; or the charity ofyour choice.

Rowan County’s unemploy-ment rate increased in Janu-ary, according to figures re-leased today by the N.C. Em-ployment Security Commis-sion.Rowan’s jobless rate was
12 percent in January, com-pared to 11.3 percent in De-cember. According to thestate, Rowan had a labor forceof 68,728 and of those, 8,249were on the unemploymentrolls in January.A higher percentage of the
work force was unemployedin Cabarrus County, as well,going from 10.1 percent in De-cember to 11 percent in Janu-ary.Unemployment rates rose
in 99 of North Carolina’s 100counties and in all 14 of itsmetropolitan statistical areas.Still, Employment SecurityCommission Chairman LynnR. Holmes noted the January
rates reflect a decrease overthe past year.“We continue to recognize
that there are still challengesahead of us as we continue torebuild our local economies,”Holmes said in a press re-lease. The state unemployment
rate was 10.5 percent in Jan-uary.Orange County had the
state’s lowest unemploymentrate in January at 6.5 percent.Graham County had the high-est rate at 19.4 percent.Here are the rates in other
counties that border Rowan:• Davidson — 11.7 percent
in January, up from 11.1 per-cent in December.• Davie — 10.5 percent, up
from 9.5 percent.• Iredell — 11.5 percent,
up from 10.9 percent.• Stanly — 11.8 percent, up
from 10.9 percent.
Jobless rate increasesin 99 of 100 counties
and standards, 26.• Neighborhood revitaliza-
tion, cohesion, 21.The committee only cov-
ered three or four topicsWednesday, with heated de-bate surrounding whetherrental properties should be in-spected.“While we didn’t get
through the 12, there was alsoa sort of general agreementthat we had tackled the mostthorny issues,” Harbeck said.The committee did reach
some consensus, he said.“Everybody agrees that
we need to get after landlordswho are not taking care oftheir property,” Harbeck said.“The disagreement comesover how.”While neighborhood advo-
cates continue to push for reg-ular, required inspections ofrental property, landlords re-sist, calling them costly andinconvenient.Committee members
agreed they need to consult anattorney and made a long listof legal questions.“I couldn’t be prouder as a
Salisbury citizen myself thatpeople are having a very de-liberate, thoughtful conversa-tion about this very importantissue,” City Planner Joe Mor-ris said. “And I think it’s goodfor our community to havethese kinds of discussions. It’sgoing to make us better.”Although three landlords
and property managers on thecommittee did most of thetalking, Morris said he would-
n’t characterize them as dom-inating the meeting.“They were expressing
their point of view, and theyprobably have a lot of con-cerns in terms of what the ul-timate recommendationsmight look like in terms of af-fecting their businesses,”Morris said.Throughout the process,
committee members have hadequal opportunity to speak,Morris said, and the public fo-rum provided a chance forothers to make their viewsknown.Housing is a multi-faceted
issue, he said, and the commit-tee has several important de-cisions to make.“They are passionate about
what they believe,” Morrissaid. “It’s not unexpected tohave strong feelings aboutthese issues.”To prevent disruptions
from audience members whospoke without recognitionfrom committee chairmenNathan Chamber and LouManning, Morris said hewould ask the audience to re-frain from talking at the nextmeeting. He also said he might sug-
gest the committee take pub-lic comment at the end of themeeting.The city pays Harbeck
$150 an hour plus expenses.To cut down on travel expens-es, Salisbury will try to sched-ule Harbeck when he’s in thearea anyway, Morris said.The next housing commit-
tee meeting is 2 p.m. March 30at the Park Avenue Communi-ty Center.

through the emergency en-trance with Damien in hisarms, shouting for help.“He was in shock,” Craver
said of Damien. Doctors wrapped him in a
solution that removed thedead skin and helped new skingrow, Craver said. Veterinarian Jessica A.F.
McCaskill and others at Salis-bury Animal Hospital workedon Damien for the past week.Two deep wounds on both
of Damien’s rear legs were abig concern for doctors. Thedog had two surgeries andfaces at least two more.All four of his feet were
also severely damaged, anddoctors had to close the tissueover his exposed bones.Damien’s second surgery
on Thursday was to removedying tissue and stitch himback up.But Damien has been re-
silient.“I can’t stress enough that
this dog has wagged his tailthrough the whole thing,” Mc-Caskill said. “He has just beenthe bravest patient.“From day one, (Damien)
never, ever growled or com-plained, and was very stoic. ...He’s doing fabulous.”
Craver said he’s gladDamien’s finally cominghome.“He’s tough as nails,” he
said. “It’s just going to be aprocess now. They said thebandages and stuff need to bechanged every other day.“But I’m tickled to have
him home.”As for the couple who
stopped him last Saturday,Craver said he hopes they willcome forward because hewants to thank them. “If he wouldn’t have made
it, I would have never beenable to forgive myself, be-cause it’s my fault,” he said.“I love him so much. He’s mybest friend, he’s my therapist,he’s my everything.”Craver says he’ll never
drive with his dogs in the bedof his truck ever again, eventhough he used what hethought was a secure systemto restrain the dog. “They’re my kids and I
thought I was taking everyprecaution. But when it boilsdown to it, there’s no safeway,” he said.McCaskill said Damien’s
injuries were preventable.“He’s going to have sever-
al months of recovery,” shesaid. “He will have severescars. Luckily this dog did notbreak any bones. (And) it’s go-ing to be costly.”

2 more security incidents at Charlotte airportCHARLOTTE (AP) — Offi-
cials say the perimeter ofCharlotte’s airport has beenbreached twice recently de-spite enhanced security con-cerns following the death of astowaway last year.The Charlotte Observer re-
ported Friday the fencedperimeter was broken last Sat-urday and Monday.Charlotte/Douglas Interna-
tional Airport spokeswoman
Haley Gentry said $13,000worth of power tools were tak-en the first time, and about$150 in diesel fuel was stolenin the second incident.The airport has faced secu-
rity questions since a 16-year-old is thought to have crawledinto the wheel well of a plane. Detectives think the body
fell as a jet from Charlottelowered its landing gear on ap-proach into Boston.
BOONE (AP) — Dozens ofquilts, weaving looms andeven a moonshine still arewithout a home now that Ap-palachian State University hasclosed its Appalachian Cultur-al Museum in Boone.University officials blame
budget cuts for their decisionto disperse the eclectic collec-tion that has been part of theuniversity since 1989. The mu-seum website was taken downearlier this month and long-time director Charles Watkinswas told his job will be elimi-nated at the end of the springsemester.The museum operated in
University Hall on BlowingRock Road until March 2006,when the space was renovat-ed for use by AppalachianState’s Institute of Health andHuman Services. ChancellorKenneth Peacock pledged tofind a new home for the mu-seum, but the vast collectionhas been in storage ever since.
“We are experiencing total-ly different and very challeng-ing times than compared tothe economic climate of 2006,”Peacock said in a statement.“Few could have foreseen thenation’s and the state’s eco-nomic downtown and the im-pact on Appalachian and high-er education.”The North Carolina univer-
sity system suffered $170 mil-lion in budget cuts last yearand more cuts are anticipatedwith the fiscal year that be-gins in July. A universityspokesman estimated the mu-seum’s annual budget at ap-proximately $200,000.The Appalachian Cultural
Museum was established away to tell the story of the Ap-palachian people, said NevaSpecht, who serves on a com-mittee trying to decide whatto do with the hundreds of ar-
tifacts now in storage. Piecesrange from Native Americanpottery shards and arrow-heads to NASCAR race cars toartifacts from the Land of Oztheme park at Beech Moun-tain, N.C.“One of the points of the
museum was to break themyth of the hillbilly,” Spechtsaid. “Appalachia is muchmore diverse and complexthan that.”With poverty playing a
prominent role in Ap-palachia’s image, some say themuseum’s loss of fundingseems even more poignant.“Budgets are not an un-
common challenge for localhistory museums, but thisclosing is especially sad,” saidRobin Sarratt-Cohen, vicepresident for development atLancaster County HistoricalSociety in Pennsylvania and a
1998 graduate of the Ap-palachian State history pro-gram.“The museum was an im-
portant resource for students.It provided opportunities todevelop our own ideas abouthow to display objects so thepublic can understand theirimportance. The experiencesI had at the cultural museumand at Appalachian State com-pletely shaped my career.”Specht said the museum
committee will be workingthroughout the spring to as-sess the museum’s collectionand attempt to place somepieces at other sites on cam-pus, such as the Carol Belk Li-brary and the Terchin Centerfor Visual Arts.“If not, we’ll look for re-
gional institutions interestedand capable of using them,”Specht said.

Appalachian Cultural Museum a victim of hard timesJudge accused of ticket fixing in Forsyth
WINSTON-SALEM (AP) —A Forsyth County judge hasbeen charged in 22 caseswhere traffic tickets were ad-justed for friends, acquain-tances, and fellow churchmembers.The North Carolina Judi-
cial Standards Commissionhas accused Forsyth DistrictJudge Denise Hartsfield of a“continuing pattern of con-duct” in which she entered fa-
vorable judgments for certaindefendants. The commissionfiled the charges March 1 af-ter an investigation by theState Bureau of Investigation. The commission will hold a
hearing in a few months andmake recommendations to theNorth Carolina SupremeCourt, which could disciplineHartsfield. Penalties rangefrom censure to removal fromoffice.
RALEIGH, (AP) — Gov. Beverly Per-due said Friday that a bill to eliminatefour standardized end-of-course tests inNorth Carolina high schools will becomelaw without her signature.Perdue said two weeks ago she would-
n’t veto the measure if it came to herdesk. But she confirmed Friday that shewouldn’t sign it into law, either. She haduntil Friday at midnight to act.Starting next fall, the measure will
end the standardized tests in U.S. Histo-ry, Algebra 2, Physical Science andCivics and Economics, none of which arerequired for the state to receive federal
funds. It also attempts to push the StateBoard of Education to create new kindsof assessments to evaluate student per-formance.The bill’s bipartisan supporters said
they were responding to complaints thattoo much emphasis was placed on stan-dardized tests that aren’t useful.Other tests will remain in place, such
as reading and math in grades 3-8, as wellas English, Biology and Algebra 1 cours-es.Perdue will let the bill become law
even though Superior Court JudgeHoward Manning, who is overseeing a
public school funding lawsuit, has saideliminating the tests would violate thestate constitution. He wrote in a memothat test results are needed to evaluatewhether students are receiving a mean-ingful education.It’s unclear whether Manning could
issue a ruling attempting to declare thelaw unconstitutional on his own, or if itwould require a separate lawsuit chal-lenging the law.North Carolina governors have 10
days after receiving a bill to sign the billinto law, veto it, or let it become law with-out signing it.

Good SamaritanWhile I was attending a memorial
service at First Baptist Church Tues-day afternoon (March 15), some verythoughtful person noticed my car inthe parking lot. More specifically,they noticed my right rear tire wasnearly flat. They took the time towrite a brief note that was left on mycar where I would be sure to see it.Thank you, whoever you are, for
alerting me to this dangerous situa-tion. May God richly bless you forcaring.

“Then the lie passed into history and be-came truth.”
— “1984” by George Orwell
This will be a futile column.Experience dictates that it will changeno minds, inspire no reconsideration
among those who disagree. It will sit on thecomputer screen or the newspaper page tak-ing up space, affecting nothing, until anothercolumn replaces it. It will be a useless essay,written for one reason only: to protect the
writer’s mental health. If thewriter did not write it, you see,there is a great danger hishead would explode.Last week, these things
happened:(1) A reader named Drew
wrote to dispute a contention,made in this space, that blackkids are “funneled” into thecriminal injustice system. Itold Drew the claim is verifiedby simple math. For instance,in her book, “The New Jim
Crow,” Michelle Alexander reports thatwhite kids are a third more likely to havesold drugs than black kids. But in somestates, blacks account for up to 90 percent ofall drug offenders in prison.To which Drew responded, “Maybe you
can find stats about drugs, but...”(2) A reader named Jean wrote, “Did it
ever occur to you that black men oftenchoose the criminal path as their vocation be-cause they see it as a get-rich-scheme that re-quires less work ethic...?” Whereupon, Imade the argument again, this time citing astudy co-sponsored by the Justice Depart-ment. And Jean replied, “Now how many gov-ernment studies do you really believe?”(3) The Miami Herald published an editori-
al attacking Florida Gov. Rick Scott’s Cabinetfor approving a measure that will make itmore difficult for nonviolent felons who haveserved their time to regain their right to vote.Because Florida jails African-Americans indisproportionate numbers, argued the edito-rial, the proposal has unavoidable “racial andpartisan implications.”“This,” said the editorial, “will return
Florida to the Jim Crow era, when such hur-dles were created to prevent blacks from vot-ing.”To which “OnLine,” writing on the paper’s
message board, shot back, “Don’t become afelon and you need not worry.”And perhaps you can understand why the
column feels futile. OnLine, Jean and Drewwould doubtless protest that they are notracist. Perish the thought. They would doubt-less tell you they are simply being objective.Which is funny, given the ease with which
they bat aside objective fact. But then, that’sthe state of critical thinking these days: ig-nore any inconvenient truth, any unsettlinginformation that might force you to think oreven look with new eyes upon, say, the edi-fice of justice. Accept only those “facts” thatsupport what you already believe.And on this subject, what many people al-
ready believe could not be clearer: blackequals crime. We’re talking about at the mito-chondrial level. We’re talking a crime strandon the DNA.Black equals crime is a formulation as old
as slave manacles and as modern as e-mail,the engine driving lynch mobs and lawmenwho sold black men into slavery as late as1945, and cops who pull black drivers overbecause ... And the tragedy is not simply thatmany white men and women embrace thisdamnable lie in the face of all refutation, butthat black children hear it and breathe it inlike poison till it becomes part of them, till itinforms how they see themselves in theworld.Some years ago, I posed a question to an
audience of school kids. If a white person ismurdered, what are the odds the assailant isblack? Seventy-five percent? Hands — everyhand in the room, it seemed — bolted into theair. Most of them belonged to black kids.For the record, the actual number is 13
percent.Not that it matters. This is a futile column,
remember? And when people are determinedto believe a lie, there is nothing more futilethan the truth.

On lookoutfor litter
Iam watching a basketballgame on TV with Randy,my 6-month-old grandson.
It’s like watching a game whilewrestling a 25-pound spidermonkey.He grabs my nose, pulls my
hair, shrieks in my ear, climbsup my chest,gouges my eyesand sucks on mychin.But he is an
exceptionallycute spider mon-key. And this isan exceptionallyimportant game.It’s the Big
West Tourna-ment Champi-
onship, a showdown betweentop-seeded Long Beach Stateand the underdog, UC SantaBarbara.The game is important to the
teams because the winner willclaim both the Big West Tour-nament title and an automaticbid to advance to “The Show,”the NCAA Men’s BasketballTournament.But it’s important to me for
a different reason: No. 33, aguard for UCSB, is OrlandoJohnson. His grandmother, Vir-ginia Jackson, was my friend.I met her through my late
husband, who coached basket-ball at Monterey High Schoolin California. Over the years,she sent him a lot of good play-ers, sons and grandsons thatshe raised as her own.After every game, she
thanked the coach for “invest-ing” in her “babies” and toldhim that, win or lose, he wasdoing a good job.She worked as a nurse’s aide
at the hospital and volunteeredat church, PTA and theNAACP.When I went into labor, she
stayed with me in the hospital,long beyond her shift, to holdmy hand and make me breatheand get me through the birthsof three children. I can assureyou there is much to love inthat.She survived with remark-
able dignity and grace moreheartache than anyone I everknew — from the death of herhusband, to the murders, ayear apart, of a son and adaughter, to the house fire thatdestroyed her home and tookthe lives of her elderly mother,a daughter, and two smallgrandchildren.I remember how proud she
was of Orlando. The first time Isaw “O,” he was just a toddler,running around the church athis mother’s funeral, hangingon his grandmother’s legs.When he was 3, he stayed at
my house a few days while hisgrandmother was out of town.He and the coach went outback and taught each othersome moves. Years later, afterthe coach died of cancer, Vir-ginia called me in tears.“Honey,” she said, “I’ve
been where you are and I knowwhat you need. I’m sending youa platter of fried chicken.”When Orlando was 11, his
grandmother’s big heart finallyfailed and his older brothersstepped up to try their best tofill her sizable shoes.Having grown up without a
father, they gave Orlando anentire starting team of “dads”— brothers and uncles and oth-ers who are always there whenhe needs them, who show up atgames to cheer him on, who re-mind him to do things like goup strong, and be aggressive,and move his big feet.Not that he needs remind-
ing.Children are a work of faith.
We never know how long we’llhave with them. We need tolove them while we can, forwhatever time we’re given,trusting that someone, if needbe, will finish the work we’vestarted, and hoping that some-how, if we’re lucky, we’ll be re-membered.Suddenly the game is over
and Orlando and his teammatesare celebrating their victoryover Long Beach State, andtheir chance, no matter howslim, to play in the Final Four.Somewhere, I suspect, his
grandmother is celebrating,too.“Look at that,” I say, trying
to divert the spider monkey’sattention from my nose to theTV. “O is big and quick andstrong like his brothers. Buthe’s got his grandma’s smile.”

Preparing for battleover Smart Start funds
From Democratic political consultant and JimHunt biographer Gary Pearce, blogging atwww.talkingaboutpolitics.com:
Should the legislature merge and cut SmartStart and More At Four? As the Geico guymight ask: “Is stirring up Jim Hunt a good
idea?”Republican legislators apparently are hearing
an earful from Hunt already. Those who weren’taround when he was governor will learn what onelegislator back then told one of Hunt’s lobbyists:“Tell the governor to please stop calling me. I’ll
vote for his bill.”Now, a consolidation of the
two programs might be smart.More At Four always smacked ofan effort to come up with a signa-ture rhyming program like SmartStart, which began a decade earli-er.
But there’s a difference — anda history.
When Hunt created SmartStart in 1993, the policy experts
gave him two options: Put the program in the pub-lic schools. Or put it under an existing — or new— state agency.
Hunt rejected both.He thought the schools had all they could han-
dle with K-12. And he didn’t trust a new bureau-cracy. So he created a program that has no state gov-
ernment structure in Raleigh: it’s primarily apass-through to send the money to local commu-nities, which decide how to spend it.That created an army of local supporters – like
church day care centers – in every legislator’sdistrict.
That was Hunt’s bulwark against what heknew would be an effort to dismantle Smart Startat some point.
More At Four, I gather, is different. It’s runthrough the schools.One ploy the Republicans may try is pitting
Smart Start against teachers: “We can avoidteacher layoffs, but that means severe cuts toSmart Start.”
Count on it: That will mobilize both Hunt andSmart Start’s friends in 100 counties.

Laurels to Rowan Helping Ministries’new litter patrol, which began picking uptrash on Council, Liberty, Shaver andLong streets this week. We often talkabout people taking ownership of theirneighborhoods, and RHM shelter guestsdecided to put that into action by cleaningup nearby streets twice a month. Coordi-nated through the New Tomorrows Pro-gram, the clean-up initiative is a great wayfor shelter patrons to give back to thecommunity and make a visible contribu-tion to the neighborhood.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Federal and stateofficials sought Friday to dispel fears of awider danger from radioactivity spewing fromJapan’s crippled nuclear reactors, saying test-ing indicated there were no health threatsalong the West Coast of the U.S.Driven by winds over the Pacific Ocean, a
radioactive plume released from the Fukushi-ma Dai-ichi reached Southern California Fri-day, heightening concerns that the nuclear dis-aster was assuming international proportions.However, the results of testing reflected
expectations by International Atomic EnergyAgency officials that radiation had dissipatedso much by the time it reached the U.S. coast-line that it posed no health risk.Air pollution regulators in Southern Cali-
fornia said they have not detected increasedlevels of radiation.In Alaska, Dr. Bernd Jilly, director of state
public health laboratories, also said monitor-ing had shown no readings of above-normallevels of radiation.Japanese officials on Friday reclassified
the rating of the accident at the plant fromLevel 4 to Level 5 on a seven-level internation-al scale, putting it on a par with the 1979 ThreeMile Island accident. And the government ac-knowledged it was slow to respond to the dis-aster that the prime minister called a “greattest for the Japanese people.”The admission came as Japan welcomed
U.S. help in stabilizing its overheated, radia-tion-leaking nuclear complex. Military firetrucks sprayed the reactor units Friday for asecond day, with tons of water arcing over thefacility in attempts to prevent the fuel fromoverheating and emitting more radiation.
Obama says Gadhafi must stopattacks or face military actionWASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack
Obama demanded Moammar Gadhafi halt allmilitary attacks on civilians and said that ifthe Libyan leader did not stand down the Unit-ed States would join other nations in launch-ing military action against him.But the president also stressed the United
States “is not going to deploy ground troopsinto Libya.”In a brief appearance at the White House,
Obama said Secretary of State Hillary Rod-ham Clinton would travel to Paris today to joinallies in discussing next steps in Libya.
Obama’s remarks came less than 24 hoursafter the United Nations Security Council vot-ed to authorize military action — including a“no-fly zone” over Libya — to prevent thekilling of civilians by Gadhafi’s forces.Trying to outmaneuver Western military
intervention, Gadhafi’s government declareda cease-fire Friday against the rebel uprising.But the opposition said shells continued tocome down well after the announcement.There should be no doubt about the Libyan
leader’s intentions “because he has made themclear,” Obama said. “Just yesterday, speakingof the city of Benghazi, a city of roughly700,000, he threatened ‘we will have no mer-cy and no pity.’ No mercy on his own citizens.”
Super full moon to shine tonightif clouds don’t obscure it
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tonight’s full moonwon’t be just any old full moon. It’ll be biggerand brighter as it makes its closest approachto Earth in 18 years.Scientists estimate the “supermoon” rising
in the east at sunset will appear 14 percentbigger and 30 percent brighter at its peak.Full moons vary in size because of the oval
shape of its orbit, with one end closer to Earth.The moon will be 221,565 miles away today —the closest to Earth since March 1993.While it will be brighter than normal, it
won’t be as luminous as the near-supermoonof 2008 when it was higher in the sky, said Ge-off Chester of the U.S. Naval Observatory inWashington, D.C.
This celestial phenomenon should give peo-ple an excuse to take time out for the moon.Usually, “most people are completely obliv-
ious to its presence,” Chester said.
Deficits $2.3 trillion more thanWhite House estimates for decadeWASHINGTON (AP) — A new assessment
of President Barack Obama’s budget says theWhite House underestimates future budgetdeficits by more than $2 trillion over the up-coming decade.The estimate from the nonpartisan Con-
gressional Budget Office says that if Obama’sFebruary budget submission is enacted intolaw it would produce deficits totaling $9.5 tril-lion over 10 years — an average of almost $1trillion a year.Obama’s budget saw deficits totaling $7.2
trillion over the same period.The difference is chiefly because CBO has
a less optimistic estimate of how much thegovernment will collect in tax revenues, part-ly because the administration has rosier eco-nomic projections.But the agency also rejects the administra-
tion’s claims of more than $300 billion of thatsavings — to pay for preventing a cut in
Medicare payments to doctors — because itdoesn’t specify where it would come from.Likewise, CBO fails to credit the White Housewith an additional $328 billion that would comefrom unspecified “bipartisan financing” to payfor transportation infrastructure projects suchas high speed rail lines and road and bridgeconstruction.
Judge blocks law curtailing public worker union rightsMADISON, Wis. (AP) — The monthlong
saga over Gov. Scott Walker’s plan to drasti-cally curb collective bargaining rights for pub-lic workers in Wisconsin took a turn Fridaythat could force a dramatic rebooting of theentire legislative process.A judge temporarily blocked the law from
taking effect, raising the possibility that theLegislature may have to vote again to pass thebill that attracted protests as large as 85,000people, motivated Senate Democrats to escapeto Illinois for three weeks and made Wiscon-sin the focus of the fight over union rights.But Walker’s spokesman and Republican
legislative leaders indicated they would presson with the court battle. “We fully expect anappeals court will find that the Legislature fol-lowed the law perfectly and likely find that to-day’s ruling was a significant overreach,” Sen-
ate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald and hisbrother, Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald,said in a joint statement.
European court rules crucifixesare acceptable in public schoolsROME (AP) — Crucifixes in public school
classrooms do not violate a student’s freedomof conscience, a European high court ruledFriday in a verdict welcomed by the Vaticanin its campaign to remind the continent of itsChristian roots.The case was brought by a Finnish-born
woman living in Italy who objected to the cru-cifixes in her children’s classrooms, arguingthey violated the secular principles publicschools are supposed to uphold. The debate di-vided Europe’s traditional Catholic and Ortho-dox countries and their more secular neigh-bors that observe a strict separation betweenchurch and state.Initially, the Strasbourg, France-based Eu-
ropean Court of Human Rights sided with themother. Italy appealed, supported by morethan a dozen countries including the late PopeJohn Paul II’s predominantly Catholic Poland,and won. Friday’s reversal has implications in47 countries, opening the way for Europeanswho want religious symbols in classrooms topetition their governments to allow them.

Some seek to kick habit of raising cost of cigarettesCONCORD, N.H. (AP) —
As some states look to tobac-co tax increases to plug budg-et holes, a few are bucking thenational trend and saying, “Ifyou smoke ‘em, we got ‘em,”looking at dropping the rate toboost cigarette sales.In New Hampshire, sup-
porters argue that reducingthe tax by a dime would helpthe state compete with Maine,Vermont and Massachusetts,while opponents say it wouldstill lose millions of dollarseven if higher sales resulted.New Hampshire’s House
voted Thursday to reduce thetax and sent the bill to the Sen-ate, where its prospects areuncertain. New Jersey andRhode Island have also con-sidered reducing their taxes.It’s very unusual for states
to lower the tax, said FrankChaloupka, an economics pro-fessor at the University of Illi-nois at Chicago. The sales in-crease isn’t enough to offsetthe drop in tax revenue, hesaid.States have enacted 100 in-
creases over the past decade,he said.New Hampshire raised its
tax repeatedly since Demo-cratic Gov. John Lynch tookoffice in 2006, increasing itfrom 52 cents per pack in 2005to $1.78 currently.“New Hampshire has been
going in the same direction asthe rest of the country, basi-cally forever,” Chaloupkasaid.The bill passed by the
House would cut the rate 10cents to $1.68 per pack. The
taxes are $2.51 in neighboringMassachusetts, $2 in Maineand $2.24 in Vermont.Rhode Island’s bill would
cut its tax by $1, to $2.46 perpack compared with $3 inneighboring Connecticut. NewJersey last year consideredreducing its tax 30 cents, to$2.40 per pack, but hasn’t fol-lowed through.When states raise the tax,
revenue goes up even thoughsales decline, Chaloupka said.Over time, tobacco tax rev-enues gradually drop after atax hike as smoking use de-clines, he said. To drive rev-enues back up, states haveraised taxes again.The only time tax revenues
dropped after a state raisedits tax was in 2006, when NewJersey raised its rate 17.5cents, he said — though therevenue decline was morelikely due to adoption of acomprehensive smoke-freepolicy.New Jersey raised the tax
12.5 cents in 2009 and revenuerose, he noted.Chaloupka asserted that
any reduction in cigaretteprices would add to Medicaidand other health care costs.The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids estimates that if theNew Hampshire cut is enact-ed it would mean more than$21 million in long-term healthcosts.

Car critic quits over changed Chrysler 200 reviewDETROIT (AP) — The Detroit News’ auto
critic said Thursday that he resigned becauseeditors demanded that he delete sections of ascathing review of the Chrysler 200, a car pro-moted in a popular Super Bowl television adstarring rapper Eminem.Scott Burgess’ original review made it into
the newspaper’s March 10 print edition. Butsome of the most critical passages, includingBurgess’ calling the sedan a “dog,” were re-moved from the paper’s online version.Burgess, 43, said he resigned Wednesday
after meeting with the paper’s news editor andpublisher, Jon Wolman.
He said he was told March 11 what to takeout of the online version.Wolman acknowledged that the newspaper
changed the online version after a car dealercomplained about it. But he told the AP on Thursday that the pa-
per’s editors did not try to change the nega-tive tone of the review.Burgess’ online review did not include this
passage, which was in the print version: “Ifthis car came in tortoise shell, the EPA wouldhave to put it on the endangered sedan list toprevent trappers and automotive enthusiastsfrom rightfully shooting it into extinction.”

“They both assumed theother got the baby,” she said.
When firefighters extin-guished all of the flames andhot spots, investigators wereable to go into the front bed-room — where the entire fam-ily slept.
Fire investigators DeborahHorne and Aaron Youngbloodhanded other firefighters ma-

When they found Jacob, hewas still in his crib, his clothesintact. Horne said Jacob like-ly died from smoke inhalation,and was never burned.

Rowan County produced two state champions, from left, Salisbury’s Olivia Rankin, Brielle Blaire, Jessica Heilig, Ayanna Holmes and Ashia Holmes, along with North Rowan’s Sam Starks,Pierre Givens, Javon Hargrave and Malik Ford.
Jon Lakey/SALISBURY POST
The 2010-11 Rowan County players of the year are Salisbury’s Ashia Holmes and Darien Rankin.
According to the players andcoaches assembled for the 2011All-County basketball photoshoot Wednesday at Catawba,Salisbury’s Darien Rankin couldhave easily scored over 20points a game this season.If he had wanted to.But that’s just it. Rankin, the
repeat winner as Rowan CountyPlayer of the Year, wanted towin more than he sought indi-vidual stats.“You could ask Darien if he’d
rather score 50 points and havea close game or not score andwin the game,” said Salisburycoach Justin Morgan. “He’ll sayhe’d rather win.”Rankin averaged 15 points as
the 6-foot-1 star became moreof a rebounder, passer and de-fender. It all helped the Hornetsto a Western Regional berth. A perfect example of
Rankin’s team play came in thefirst game of the Moir Christ-mas Classic, a 98-66 win overSouth Rowan. He scored 12, butwas one of six Hornets in dou-ble figures.Ah yes, the Moir Classic. The
biggest sporting event of theyear in Rowan County has beenRankin’s personal playgroundover the past three years. Hewas named MVP of the tourna-ment for the third time.Rankin would score when his
team needed him the most. Inthe Moir semifinals, he put up20 points and sank two clutchfree throws to beat the eventual1A state champ North Rowan,79-77. “You have to really prepare
for him,” North coach AndrewMitchell said. “It’s real scary.It’s like having to plan for Kobe
or Michael Jordan. You have tosit down and really game-planand figure out how you’re goingto handle him. He can beat youby himself.”That’s the beauty of this past
season. Rankin didn’t have to doit by himself. He took greatpleasure in dishing to big menJarrett Rivens and Alex Weant,or guards Corey Murphy andJohn Knox.“Darien accepted those guys
and he was happy for them,”Morgan said.Other all-county players said
they looked forward to playingRankin.“It was a good experience for
me to have somebody that ath-letic guarding me,” said West
Ashia Holmes may be hard to dis-tinguish when not in uniform for theHornets. Without the No. 4 underneathher face, it's hard to differentiate be-tween Ashia and her twin sister Ayan-
na, No. 13. Both carry the same baby-faced structure at alternating guardpositions for Salisbury as integralparts of the Hornets' legendary runduring the last decade. Both carry astrong hoops pedigree with three 2Astate championships. Both will playcollege basketball with Ashia at Rad-
ford and Ayanna at Charlotte. But nowAshia will have a trump card over hertwin, and that's a Player of the YearAward from the Post in her senior sea-son. Holmes, one of the leaders of a re-

GRANITE QUARRY — “If I pitchWill Johnson forfour innings again,please, just shootme,” declared East
Rowan coach Brian Hightower. “ButI had to hang with him.” Johnson, East’s untouchable relief
monster, worked 32⁄3 innings in a 4-3,nine-inning, non-conference winagainst Salisbury on Friday. The al-ternative to riding Johnson so longand hard was losing to the Hornets,and Hightower isn’t a fan of losing.Wesley LeRoy’s bases-loaded sin-
gle with one out in the ninth gave theMustangs (6-1) a hard-earned win, butthey left Staton Field with increasedrespect for Salisbury and West Point-bound SHS southpaw Philip Tonseth,who went the distance and fought likehe was already in a foxhole.“I just asked the guys to compete
and give themselves a chance andthey did that,” Salisbury coach ScottMaddox said. “We’re capable, but wehadn’t played like that this season.”It was a pitching duel. Junior Jared
Mathis gave the Mustangs five stronginnings, while Tonseth mystifiedEast’s lethal lineup, which includedtwo .600 hitters, with his curveball.“I was feeling it today, and I was-
n’t coming out,” Tonseth said. “Thewhole team played up. I threw prob-ably 75 percent curveballs, and thedefense behind me was real solid.”Nathan Fulbright, one of those .600
hitters, drilled a Tonseth mistakeover the fence in left for a 1-0 Eastlead in the second.Salisbury (2-2) tied it in the fourth
on singles by John Knox and NolanMeyerhoeffer, Kyle Wolfe’s sacrificebunt and Tonseth’s sacrifice fly.Justin Morris’ double and Luke
Thomas’ RBI single — he smoked itpast the first-base bag — made it 2-1Mustangs in the bottom of the fourth.Salisbury’s two-run sixth for a 3-2
lead included a solid RBI single to leftby Wolfe against reliever AveryRogers. Spencer Carmichael can tellhis grandchildren he got a big hit offJohnson — a solid, first-pitch RBI-ripto right.East was in real danger when it
batted in the sixth, but lefty swingerAshton Fleming, who got into a quick0-2 hole against Tonseth, managed to
hit a sac fly to leftfield for a 3-3 tie.“He was throwing
so many curveballs,and we were havinga hard time stayingback,” said Fleming,who turned in two de-fensive gems at sec-ond base. “I knew I’dhave to hit a curve-ball, and I got enough of it.”Johnson fanned the side in the sev-
enth and got the Hornets 1-2-3 in theeighth. A sensational diving catch bySalisbury center fielder Brian Baukhelped out Tonseth in the East eighth. Scott Van der Poel mashed a dou-
ble deep to the left-field bank withone out in the Salisbury ninth, butJohnson didn’t blink. He kept his ERAat 0.00 with two quick outs, and it wastime for the Mustangs to hit again. “Philip had thrown about 120 pitch-
es, but he was determined to win it orlose it,” Maddox said. “He’d waitedfour years to pitch against East.”The bottom of the ninth was wild.
Fleming blooped a one-out single.Tonseth promptly picked him off, butFleming escaped a rundown.“Actually, I swiped his back, but
that’s a tough call for the umpire,”Tonseth said. “It happens.”When a wild pitch sent Fleming to
second, Rogers was intentionallywalked. After Fleming and Rogersturned a failed hit-and-run into a suc-cessful double steal, Gavin Wike wasintentionally walked to load the basesfor No. 9 hitter LeRoy, who steppedto the plate 0-for-3, including a strike-out and a double-play grounder.“Coach said he was giving me one
swing, and then I was going to haveto get a squeeze down,” LeRoy said.“I appreciate him giving me a swing.”Tonseth’s first pitch to LeRoy was
a curveball, but in on his hands, ratherthan away where LeRoy expected it.LeRoy was jammed, but he was
strong enough to muscle the ball overthe infield to score the winning run.“I got lucky,” LeRoy said. “Tonseth
is a great pitcher. Props to him.”Hightower wasn’t happy with his
team at all, but his praise for the Hor-nets was genuine.“We had a bunch of terrible at-
bats, but credit Tonseth for bafflingus and keeping us off-stride,” he said.“He was awesome, and his teammatesplayed their tails off behind him.”
LANDIS — South Rowan’s baseballteam has a new ad-dress — first placein the NPC.The Raiders
rode the elevator tothe top floor Friday night with an ef-ficient 10-2 win over visiting WestIredell.“I’ve said it before,” third-year
coach Thad Chrismon quipped afterSouth (4-2) improved to 3-0 in leagueplay. “I really like this team. I like theenthusiasm and energy we brought tothe field tonight.”There was much to admire against
West (3-3, 2-2), one of the teams ex-pected to challenge favored EastRowan for the conference title. TheRaiders played errorless defense.They banged out a season-high 12 hitsand chased losing pitcher Sam Laws— a right-hander who has drawn in-terest from Catawba and Mars Hill —in the third inning.Most importantly, South found it-
self an ace pitcher in Matt Miller.Blending a darting fastball with a men-acing slider and a biting curve, the jun-ior right-hander pitched a complete-game four-hitter and delivered theRaiders to unexpected heights.“I never felt this good after a game
in my life,” Miller said. “I was hittingmy spots. My arm was alive. And thedefense was great behind me.”Miller struck out eight batters,
walked none and induced nine ground-outs. His lone mistake was poled overthe fence in left-center field by WI slug-ger Sean Grant for a fourth-inninghomer.
“But even then,” South catcherEric Tyler noted, “he bounced rightback. He didn’t stay down.”Miller responded by fanning the
next three hitters. West’s final runcrossed on a seventh-inning wild pitch.“My hitters told me he had good
movement on all of his pitches,” saidlosing coach Randy Martin. “But hebeat us with his fastball. We couldn’tsquare up on him.”South had no such problem against
Laws. Tyler floated a two-run doubledown the rightfieldline to open the scor-ing in the last of thefirst. Two innings lat-er, Preston Penningerwas hit with an 0-2fastball with thebases loaded to makeit 3-0. By the time Ja-cob Dietz lined anRBI single to centerit was 6-0.The rest was up to Miller (2-0, 2.04
ERA), who pitched like he had a roastin the oven. He finished off a brisklyplayed game by sneaking a knee-buck-ling, 3-2 slider past Vance Robinette.“If he does stuff like that,” Chris-
mon said afterward, “he can pitch forme any day of the week.”Last night Miller did it for a first-
place team. “We’re going with our hairon fire, trying to beat every team inthis conference,” he said. “We’ve gota good chance.”
NOTES: South visits A.L. Brown at 2p.m today and hosts Carson on Mon-day. ... Tyler added a two-run single inSouth’s four-run sixth. He finished 3-for-4 with four RBIs.

BRISTOL, Tenn. — RoushFenway Racing continued itsstrong qualifying runs Fridayby sweeping the pole at Bris-tol Motor Speedway.Carl Edwards turned a lap
of 128.014 mph in a Ford toknock teammate Greg Bifflefrom the top starting spot forSunday’s race. Biffle’s lap of127.622 mph was good enoughfor second.It gave a RFR driver the
pole for the third consecutiverace. Edwards won the pole inPhoenix and Matt Kenseth wonthe pole at Las Vegas, whereEdwards picked up his firstwin of the season.Regan Smith qualified a ca-
reer-best third in a Chevrolet,and his 6.25 qualifying averagethis season is best in the SprintCup Series. Paul Menard wasfourth in a Chevy, and DavidRagan was fifth to put threeRoush drivers in the top five.“This is fun; the cars have
just been great,” Edwards said.“Greg motivated me. I didn’tthink anybody was going to beable to go that fast. I thoughtthat the track had slowed downa lot more than that, so I wasout there driving my heartout.”It was Edwards’ ninth ca-
reer pole, second of the seasonand fifth in the last 19 races.For Biffle, it was a nice start
to the weekend after his disas-trous run at Las Vegas twoweeks ago. Although hethought his car was just a tickoff from Edwards’ race-win-ner, a series of problems in thepits led to a 28th-place finish.He’s 32nd in the points — dan-gerously close to falling out-side the top-35 and having toqualify on speed to make therace.“That would definitely be a
concern of mine — having toqualify in the show, being theorganization that we are andhaving fast cars this year,” Bif-fle said. “We arguably had one
of the fastest cars at Las Ve-gas ... and we finished five lapsdown. That’s hard to do whenyou’ve got a really, really fastcar.”Defending race winner Jim-
mie Johnson qualified sixthand was followed by HendrickMotorsports teammate JeffGordon. Martin Truex Jr. qual-ified seventh in a Toyota, andMark Martin and Kasey Kahnerounded out the top 10.Matt Kenseth, the fourth
Roush driver, qualified 11th.Kurt Busch, a five-time
Bristol winner, was the high-est qualifying Dodge driver at20th.Meanwhile, Goodyear was
plagued all day Friday with
tire issues when the ones atBristol failed to lay enoughrubber on the track surface.Typically, as drivers run morelaps, rubber grounds into thesurface and alleviates exces-sive wear.But it didn’t happen after a
full day of track activity Fri-day, even after the sun cameout and the track surface gothotter. Drivers were only ableto go about 30 laps before theirright-side tires wore down tothe cords.So Goodyear called for

Obviously, it was a greatyear in the county for boysbasketball, with North winningthe 1A state championship andSalisbury and West makingthe regionals. The annual listof a dozen individual all-coun-ty honorees could have beenstretched to 18.Salisbury seniors Alex
Weant and Corey Murphy,North’s regional MVP T.J.Bates, South All-NPC picksMark McDaniel and JoshMedlin and West defensivestopper Domonique Noble(West was 13-2 with him in thelineup) aren’t here. You couldmake a good case for all ofthem, and you could takethose six and win a lot ofgames.Four Cavaliers are on the
team, with Salisbury and Westgetting three each. South andCarson contributed one no-brainer apiece to the squad. The coaches had a lot of in-
put, but deciding the last fewspots still took some debate.
The team:Keshun Sherrill, West, Jr.There can’t be a better 5-
foot-9 player in the state.Sherrill missed two games
with a hip injury and stillpoured in 569 points — theseventh-highest scoring sea-son in West history.He led the county in scor-
ing with 21.1 points a game,
with a low of 14 points — nokidding, a low of 14 — and thatwas with every opponent fo-cusing on him.Sherrill had games of 37
and 36 points — two of the top10 individual scoring gamesin West history — againstquality opponents.In a Western Regional
semifinal against 3A champHunter Huss, the most talent-ed team West faced, he had 28points (10-for-18 shooting)against a 6-6 defender.
Darien Rankin, SHS, Sr.The Rowan County Player
of the Year didn’t need toscore 21 points a game for Sal-isbury to be successful be-cause he played on a teamwith five scoring threats. He averaged a human 15.1
points a game, but when Sal-isbury needed him to takeover, when the Hornets ab-solutely had to have a hoop,he took over. And when hemade up his mind to go to therim, there wasn’t much any-one could do to stop him.Rankin led Salisbury to
Moir Classic, CCC and section-al titles.A winner?No doubt about it.The No. 3 scorer all-time at
Salisbury with 1, 378 points —and that’s going all the wayback to the use of peach bas-kets. He’ll go down as one ofthe best football/basketballathletes the county’s seen.Signed with UNC for foot-
1,000 points for his career inCarson’s final game and fin-ished his career as the No. 2scorer in school history.He was one of the top long-
distance shooters in the coun-ty, averaging 18.2 points pergame and scoring a school-record 37 against West Iredell. He improved in every as-
pect of the game as a senior,and he usually made theCougars competitive.
Samuel Starks, North, Sr.The 5-10 Starks combined
explosive athletic ability withdetermined defense and asmooth 3-point shot and wasone of the county’s top fiveplayers.There were an awful lot of
games in which a dunk byStarks or a steal by Starks gotthe 1A state champion Cava-liers rolling.He led a balanced team’s
scoring with 11.1 points pergame and popped in 19 (9-for-16 shooting) on his way tostate championship gameMVP honors.
Javon Hargrave, North, Sr.Runner-up for YVC Player
of the Year honors, Hargaveused his strength and bulk togive North a powerful postpresence.He scored 19 points in the
monumental Western Region-al final against Winston-SalemPrep and averaged 10.5 points
a game for the season.He finished 10th in school
history with 903 points.Signed with South Carolina
State for football.Johnathan Gaddy, South, Sr.The 5-9 Gaddy made one
of the biggest jumps any-one’s ever made from hisquiet junior season to his as-tounding senior year. Hecredited an offseason spentplaying virtually non-stopfor his improvement.Very quick and tough to
stay in front of, Gaddy aver-aged 3.3 points as a juniorand 20.1 (second in the coun-ty) as a senior. His breakoutseason included a 33-pointeffort against NPC champStatesville.Gaddy’s 462 points rank
seventh on South’s all-timechart for single-season scor-ing and his 20.1 points pergame ranks fourth.
Jarrett Rivens, Salisbury, Jr.The 6-6 Rivens came out of
nowhere to score, block shotsand dominate the boards. Anewcomer to Salisbury aftera move from Virginia, thelefty developed into an insideforce for the Hornets in Janu-ary and February.He averaged 10.2 points a
game for the season andbumped that to 14 ppg overthe Hornets’ final 13 games.He had a 21-point outburstagainst Cuthbertson in a sec-tional final.
B.J. Sherrill, West, Sr.The 6-1 Sherrill was such a
great football QB that he nev-er got proper credit for beinga very solid basketball player.He made 3s, he used his thickbody to drag down bushels ofrebounds, and he was as gooda leader as it’s possible to be.He averaged 12.5 points,
second on the team, andtopped 700 for his career.
Pierre Givens, North, Jr.After he joined the team
in December for the Christ-mas tournament, it was clearthe Cavaliers had a chanceto make a run. He wound upplaying basically a full sea-son — 23 games.The 6-2 Givens’ scoring
average of 8.8 didn’t reallydescribe his value. He was aclever ballhandler, a slickpasser, a dedicated defenderand a surprisingly tough re-bounder for a guard.He was a streaky outside
shooter, but he usually wason in big games. He mademany momentum-swinging3s at the end of quarters —including a memorable onein the 1A state title game.
John Knox, Salisbury, Sr.
The things that can be saidabout B.J. Sherrill also can besaid about Knox, Salisbury’sfootball QB. He brought a lotof refuse-to-lose leadership tothe floor for the Hornets, madesome big 3s and knocked downcritical foul shots.He averaged 12.6 points
per game as a senior and fin-ished 21st all-time at Salisburyin scoring with 737 points.
Malik Ford, North, So.The tall, springy young-
ster — he’s listed at 6-7 —has only scratched the sur-face of what he may become,but he wants to be great, heworks at it, and that’s a bigstep in the process.Ford’s scoring average
(7.2 points per game) wasn’t
overwhelming, but he pro-duced dunks and blockedshots that swung games.His back-to-back slams in
the state championshipgame were a huge part ofNorth’s comeback from 19down.
Jarvis Morgan, West, Jr.A football receiver, the 6-3
Morgan used his athleticismto help West make a late-sea-son charge to 18 wins.Not a shooter, but he aver-
aged 10.0 points by runningthe floor for layups and fight-ing for stickbacks.He had the defensive
wingspan of a much tallerplayer and that led to a lot ofsteals, a lot of deflections andquite a few dunks.

Staredown: Rivals Nick Houston of Carson, left, and South Rowan’s Johnathan Gaddy.
We always shoot for 12, andwe’ll shoot for 12 again in2012. But there are 14 thistime — call it a three-way tiefor 12th — because it madeno sense to leave any of these14 off. State champ Salisbury had
five girls that were automat-ic, while North, East and Southall won often enough that theydeserved a representative.Carson and West won 18
games each. Both had threeno-doubters.Sometimes we don’t have
to consider freshmen, but Sal-isbury’s Brielle Blaire wasone of the county’s best five,and West’s Nycieko Dixon ar-guably was in the top 10.Basically, it was just a fan-
tastic year for girls basketballin the county. Several girls —South’s Lauren Miller, East’sKarleigh Wike, Carson’s Tye-sha Phillips and North’sTiffany Brown come to mind— didn’t make this team butmade their respective all-con-ference teams.
The team:Ashia Holmes, SHS, Sr.The 5-8 standout’s 10.4
points per game didn’t tellthe story. Her defense (sev-en steals in the 2A statechampionship game) andballhandling made the Hor-net machine hum. The West-ern Regional MVP andchampionship game MVP,she had a triple-double (10steals) in a game againstLexington. Signed with Radford.Ayanna Holmes, SHS, Sr.Scored 8.8 points per
game, but that was the tip ofthe iceberg. At 5-8, shebrought the same winningpriorities to the table that hertwin did — defense first, passsecond, rebound third, scorefourth. Christmas tourna-ment MVP and has 11 assistsin the state title game.Signed with Charlotte.Brielle Blaire, SHS, Fr.People say she’s 6-foot-4.
I’m convinced she’s morelike 6-1. One thing everyoneagrees on is she’s already anunbelievable player and herpotential is unlimited.She led the state champi-
ons in scoring as a freshman(11.5 ppg) and poured in 20(10-for-18) in the state cham-pionship game.Blaire can score inside or
outside at will, and she’sonly going to get better as ashotblocker and rebounder.
Ayana Avery, West, Sr.At 5-5, she’s simply one of
the great scorers in countyhistory.Avery led Rowan in scor-
ing — by a lot — with 19.5points per game and scoreda school-record 1,995 for hercareer.She played 104 games for
West in four varsity seasonsand averaged 19.2 per game— second in school history. Signed with Radford.Olivia Rankin, SHS, Sr.
About 6-2, smooth, effi-cient and a very high-per-centage option in Salisbury’soffense. Her 14 points on 5-for-8 shooting in the statechampionship game was atypical outing for her.She averaged 12.3 points
per game, and while we don’thave all the numbers, I’d betshe shot 55 percent from thefloor for the season.Signed with Charlotte.Shay Steele, West, Soph.Huge future and one heck
of a player now. At 6-2, she’ssuch a shotblocking forcethat she’s a threat for atriple-double every game,and she also was the coun-ty’s No. 2 scorer (13.3 ppg).Long, fast and left-hand-
ed, she just has to avoid foultrouble a little better to be-come a candidate for NPCPlayer of the Year honors.
Kelly Dulkoski, Carson, So.The biggest reason Car-
son jumped from 11-16 to 18-7 was the development of
the Cougars’ point guard. Ina perfect world, she’d be big-ger and stronger, but at 5-6she’s a very good defender,a very good passer, a verygood ballhandler and a verygood 3-point shooter.That’s a lot of very goods.Jessica Heilig, SHS, Sr. Always talented, the 6-1
Heilig was great down thestretch for the Hornets — 12points and nine boards in theWestern Regional final and16 and nine in the title game.
She averaged just under10 points a game.Signed with Gardner-
Webb.Allison Blackwell, Carson, So.On the road to being the
program’s first 1,000-pointscorer, she’s more thanhalfway there.The 5-9 Blackwell and
Dulkoski tied for seventh incounty scoring with 11.7points per game. Blackwellrebounds aggressively andscores on everything fromstickbacks to 3-pointers.Averaged 15.4 ppg in Car-
son’s last seven outings.Chloe Monroe, Carson, Jr.Had to lead the county in
3-point shooting percentage.She was fourth in scoring
(12.0 ppg), adding a lot oflayups off steals to her im-pressive stack of 3s.
The 5-5 Monroe’s highgame was 23 points in a winagainst West Rowan, andshe’s already Carson’s all-time scoring leader.
Nycieko Dixon, West, Fr.Only 5-4 but very quick,
she mixed enough 3-pointerswith her fastbreak layups toscore 11.2 points per game.She topped 20 points in back-to-back NPC outings.Dixon put up a 300-point
freshman season, whichmakes her just about a lockfor 1,000 down the road.
Nicole Barringer, South, Sr.The 5-9 Barringer, is a
volleyball setter first, butshe found consistency downthe stretch, shot the lightsout and wrapped up her bas-ketball career in style.She averaged a team-high
9.6 points a game and pushedthat average to 11.7 overSouth’s last 15 games. In herfinal two outings, she totaled41 against West and East.
Teaunna Cuthbertson, North, Jr.Played a lot of the season
at less than 100 percent, butnot many girls could boundinto a passing lane, make asteal and zoom down thefloor for a layup like this 5-8track star could.Cuthbertson averaged
11.3 points a game andbumped that to 16.5 ppg in alate-season spree in whichNorth knocked off four YVCfoes in a row. Those wins in-cluding big upsets of Albe-marle and Chatham Central.Has a shot at 1,000 points.Olivia Sabo, East, Sr.A 6-footer who is a col-
lege prospect, Sabo aver-aged a team-best 9.6 points agame with a high of 21against Davie.

North Rowan boys coach Andrew Mitchell, left, and Salisbury girls coach Chris McNeil each added state championships to their resume this year.
The ride to a state basketball champi-onship is rarely smooth, and there were nu-merous speed-bumps for North Rowan’s An-drew Mitchell, the Rowan County Coach ofthe Year.North finished 27-5, all grins and hugs and
on top of the 1A world, but the Cavaliersfaced dark, dismal days the first week ofFebruary.On Feb. 1, North got mashed at West
Montgomery, falling behind 19-4 in the firstquarter of the YVC game and losing 74-54 toa team that shot 57 percent from the field.Six days later, the Cavaliers faltered again
in their league, a wrenching 79-76 overtimeloss at Albemarle in which Albemarle’s fresh-man point guard Gregory Childress shot 17-for-18 from the foul line.At that point, North was worried about
staying in the YVC race. Only the optimistsdrinking green tea and wearing green sun-glasses indoors were still dreaming about astate title.“A real tough time,” Mitchell admitted. “A
lot of negative things were being said aboutme, about my team and about our school.”It did seem like it was the Cavaliers
against the world, and they weren’t helpingthemselves any with their struggles to makefree throws.Mitchell was convinced he’d never get an-
other call, but the Cavs snapped out of it andcame through that rough period toughermentally. And then they started playing attheir highest level of the season physically.“We became humble,” Mitchell said. “We
started working harder and talking less.Looking back, that was the turning point.”The loss at Albemarle initially crushed
Javon Hargrave. For the rugged senior postman, Albemarle had become as bitter a ri-val as Salisbury and West Rowan.“That loss to Albemarle was a hard loss,”
Hargrave said. “But I think it was the bestloss I’ve ever had.”Coaches always hope their team can learn
from wins, but the deepest lessons can onlycome through the misery of painful defeat.“Albemarle brought us all together,” Har-
grave said.North wouldn’t lose again.The road to redemption angled through
the country, to South Davidson High in ruralDenton, site of the YVC tournament, wherethe Cavaliers (the second seed) had to beatWest Montgomery and Albemarle on back-to-back nights to earn a No. 1 sectional seed.On Feb. 17, North beat West Montgomery
58-56 in OT. This time West Montgomery shot44 percent. This time North made its freethrows.Twenty-four hours later, North beat Albe-
marle 58-54. Childress swished six 3s but theCavs could live with that. The key stat wasthat Childress attempted zero free throws.Those two fierce games in Denton were
the stepping stone to monumental winsagainst loaded Winston-Salem Prep in theWestern Regional final and Pender in thestate championship game.North trailed Prep by 11 but won 92-85 in
double overtime.North fell behind Pender by 19 in the sec-
ond quarter but rallied to prevail 64-57.“In the first half of the championship
game, our emotions were so great we weremaking the game of basketball very hard,”Mitchell said. “We got them settled down,and we threw five or six guys at their bestplayer (Addison Spruill). He wanted to go
left, so we forced him right. We wore himdown with a lot of bodies. Only Supermanwouldn’t have gotten worn down.”North had no one who averaged more than
11.1 points (guard Sam Starks), but it hadenough balance to average 66.6 points pergame. It was defensively where the Cavaliers
performed at historic levels. Their 47.1 pointsper game allowed was the stingiest defen-sive effort at the school since 1982.“We used a lot of different combina-
tions, and we did defend,” Mitchell said.“There were times we had four big guysout there. Other times, we had five guyson the floor who had all been point guards.The big thing is we had tough-minded kidswho were unselfish. No one worried aboutscoring 20. Everyone worried about keep-ing the guys on the other team from scor-ing 20.”Mitchell gave major credit to assistant
coaches Bill Kesler and Tim Bates.“I saw (all-county junior) Pierre Givens
as a 2, a 3 or a 4,” Mitchell said. “It was CoachKesler who told me, ‘This guy is a pointguard.’ ”Givens was indeed a point guard, and he
provided a new dimension after he debutedin late December.The player who improved the most was
sophomore T.J. Bates, who made clutch freethrows in all of North’s tough tests down thestretch.“T.J. is a National Honor Society kind of
guy, but he’s also tough and physical and he’llguard anyone,” Mitchell said. “He was beat-ing up his own teammates in preseason, buthe learned how to defend people physically,but legally.”Mitchell lavished praise on Kelly Ever-
hart, the head coach who preceded him.North was 20-6 in 2009-10 under Everhartwith many of the same players and won theYVC.“I came into a great situation,” Mitchell
said. “The players had been well-prepared.Kelly did a lot with them. They knew how toplay basketball.”It also was Everhart who came up with a
scouting report on Pender that Mitchell saidwas right on the money.“Kelly was always supportive, and that
was big of him,” Mitchell said. “We wereteammates at North (Everhart graduated in1982, Mitchell in 1984). I backed up Kelly asa receiver and punter on the football teamand at point guard on the basketball team.“This was a great opportunity to kind of
back him up coaching this team.”Mitchell said the team gave Everhart a
medal. In time, Mitchell will receive his shiny
championship ring.“He is a great coach,” Hargrave said. “He
pushed us hard.”

Chris McNeil explains things to all-county players, from left, Teaunna Cuthbertson of North,Nycieko Dixon of West and Kelly Dulkoski of Carson.
With the biggest game ofChris McNeil's coaching ca-reer ahead of him, he had tobring in the big boys.Literally.With the Hornets facing
East Bladen in the 2A state ti-tle game for the secondstraight year, that meant go-ing up against the imposingcenter Courtney Melvin, aEast Carolina signee at 6-foot-2 and 250 pounds. Intim-idating, but she had nothingon Kiontae Rankin.That's right, McNeil
brought in the brother of cur-rent Salisbury senior DarienRankin in practice sessionsthe week of the game to sim-ulate Melvin. Rankin, a for-mer all-county nose guard forthe Hornets, provided acolossal 6-foot-4, 390-poundpresence that more than pre-pared Salisbury to deal withanything East threw at themin Chapel Hill.The result? Melvin scored
just 10 points on 3 of 7 shoot-ing and Salisbury cruised toa win that was as easy as anyof their Central Carolina Con-ference victories in a 76-44romp.McNeil's outside the box
and outside the gender think-ing was at the forefront of an-other banner season for thepremier girls basketball pro-gram in the state. The Hor-nets were McNeil's first stopin the head coaching ranks athe high school level with apretty successful trial run.McNeil, a '92 graduate of
Durham Hillside High and aLivingstone Alum, is thePost's Coach of the Year af-ter leading the Hornets totheir third straight statechampionship and a 27-1record. After losing to 4-ACharlotte Butler in the firstgame, Salisbury was unstop-pable, reeling off 27 straightwins. The ride to anotherstate championship was al-most flawlessly smooth.“It's just a matter of keep-
ing them focused and they'vebeen focused all year,” Mc-Neil said. “It’s just a blessingto be able to coach such a spe-cial group. What better wayto end it than with anotherstate title.”With four of its starting
five signed to play in college,the Hornets had an abun-dance of talent, but McNeilsaid it still had to be nur-tured.“Talent without discipline
is an appetite for destruc-tion,” McNeil said Wednes-day from Goodman Gym.“They needed someone tocome in and guide what wasalready in place. Some coach-es come in and try to imple-ment something new. We justkept it simple. My main focuswas defensive intensity cre-ates offensive success.”That said, McNeil deters
the success to his players. Hecoached at the middle schoollevel for years and headed upboys AAU teams during thesummer. Former Salisburygirls and North Rowan coachAndrew Mitchell helped Mc-Neil get started in the coach-ing circuit through Bobby
Jackson’s summer camp atLivingstone.“The coaching's the easy
part,” he said. “The playersare the ones that go out anddo the work. I’m just lucky tobe a part of something thisspecial.”And thanks to Mrs. Mc-
Neil, they were both statechampions in 2011.“My principal and athlet-
ic director called me to theoffice one day and said ‘wehave an opportunity youwon’t be able to say no to,’”McNeil said. “I told them Ineed to check with my wife.Once she approved it, the skywas the limit.” There was little internal
drama with the Hornets thisseason. Coming off their sec-ond-straight state title, theHornets' only adversitywould be adjusting to a newcoach after Mitchell left tocoach the boys team at North.“He came in and told us
what we had to do,” said Play-er of the Year Ashia Holmes.“So we just did it.”With so much experience
on the roster, the Hornetsovercame a lack of a big scor-er and missing key reserveDoreen Richardson for sev-eral games during the regu-lar season and playoffs.“It's a group of girls so
you're going to have situa-tions come up,” Holmes said.“There were new girls com-ing in so everybody had to ad-just. I think he was the rightman for the position becausehe knew everybody.”And now he knows how to
win.

markable Rowan County sen-ior class, played tenacious de-fense and showed leadershipskills at the point to define theHornets' relentless, yet undercontrol style. She averaged10.4 points six steals and sev-en rebounds per game thisyear and had 857 points in fourseasons on the varsity squad.Those aren’t gaudy stats byany means, but her value wasmeasured on the defensive endof the floor the most. With Sal-isbury forcing around 20turnovers a game and keepinga large part of their offense intransition, the Hornets woreother teams out. “On the defensive end, I felt
like I kicked it up anothernotch this year,” Holmes said.“I applied more steals thisyear.” That tenacity was demon-
strated the most in the waning
moments of Salisbury's tough-est game of the season, a 47-43win at North Surry in the sec-tional final. The Hornets wontheir first two playoff gamesby an average of 42.5 points,but faced a worthy Grey-hounds squad that had the balldown one with 26 seconds toplay. Holmes led Salisburywith 14 points in that game de-spite fouling out. Her sisterbombarded Morgan Midkiff onNorth’s final possession tocause a jump ball.“I believe that was the
wildest game we played allyear,” Holmes said.“She goes 110 in a 55 mile
per hour zone all the time,” Sal-isbury coach Chris McNeilsaid. “What makes her specialis she's able to adjust quickly.”Of course, Holmes didn't
have to do it all by herself.With three other starters al-ready committed to play col-lege basketball and BrielleBlaire already receiving atten-tion as a freshman, the scoring
remained balanced throughoutthe season. Holmes looked for-ward to distributing the ball tosister Ayanna, Olivia Rankin,Jessica Heilig and Blaire mostgames, the combination ofwhich overwhelmed the Cen-tral Carolina Conference. Sal-isbury didn't come remotelyclose to losing a game in con-ference play. Holmes, a Radford signee,
now keeps going forward, put-ting away the Hornet memo-ries for now and looking aheadto college. Radford coachescame to the state champi-onship game, where Holmesscored 10 points, grabbed 10rebounds and seven steals in29 minutes. She was the cham-pionship game's MVP as wellas the regional tournamentMVP. “We've accomplished some-
thing else in our careers andit's nice to have it,” Holmessaid. “But now it's time to moveon.”At 110 miles an hour.
HOLMESFROM 1B
Rowan junior Keshun Sherrill, thecounty’s leading scorer (21 ppg).“When you have a body like that,it’s tough.”Sherrill’s teammate, B.J. Sher-
rill added, “It was fun, but it wasn’tthat good. He beat us dating backto middle school. I’m glad I don’thave to play against him again.”Asked if he ever guarded
Rankin, B.J. laughed.“I was way too slow to guard
him.”Perhaps Rankin’s best matchups
came against North’s Sam Starks,
the MVP of the state 1A title game.“It was fun,” said Starks, who
always guarded Rankin. “I didpretty good and he did the same onthe other end playing me.”When Rankin wanted to score,
look out.In a CCC matchup against Lex-
ington for first place, Rankin ex-ploded for 33. The next game he
had 23 against East Davidson. Hefinished the season by hitting dou-ble figures in his last 11 games andfinishing his career with 1,358points.Rankin said he was honored to
get the Player of the Year award. “I respect everybody I play
against,” he said. “We always bringthe competitiveness.”
Morgan just loves the factRankin proved what an all-aroundplayer he was and it was the mainfactor in Salisbury finishing 20-7.“What made him special is he
did what it took to win the game,”Morgan said. “We’d have 3, 4 guysin double figures and it was alwaysa result of Darien’s play. He wasalways unselfish.”
RANKINFROM 1B
Wednesday at Catawba, someof us wanted to shed a tearduring the all-county photo
shoot as we looked around Good-man Gym at all of those seniors.Special seniors.
Darien Rankinand John Knox ofSalisbury. SamStarks and JavonHargrave of North.B.J. Sherrill of West.Don’t forget Salis-
bury’s Olivia Rankin,Ashia and AyannaHolmes and JessicaHeilig.They have wowed
us in football andbasketball for the past three seasonsand Wednesday may have been theirlast glorious time together.Over the past three years, those
nine have given us five state titlesin basketball, four in football andtwo in track. They have led RowanCounty to the top of the high schoolworld in North Carolina.“It’s a strong senior class,”
Starks understated. “Everybody’san athlete.”And the best part about those
nine seniors? They are simply greatkids, who not only competedagainst each other, but enjoyedevery minute of it.“I’ve played against them since I
was yay-high,” Rankin said. “Younever had to worry about trashtalking. It was all fun.”“It’s a great athletic county,”
Sherrill said. “There’s a bunch of
championships coming out of thiscounty.”Knox and Sherrill joked about
playing at West Rowan MiddleSchool together. Knox was thequarterback, Sherrill a runningback. Knox then went to Salisbury.The quarterbacks rooted for
each other on Dec. 12 when Sherrilland West won a football title in theafternoon and Knox and Salisburywon one at night.“It was fun to see those guys do
good,” Sherrill smiled, “exceptagainst us, of course.”
•So in a fond farewell to the most
talented senior class to ever comethrough Rowan County, here’ssome basketball honors the athleticbanquets might forget:
Most Famous Street:Wonder ifthe people who live on ProctorDrive realize how famous that roadis. North coach Andrew Mitchelllives there. Across the street isWest football coach Scott Young.Both have three straight statechampionships.“My wife said we were compet-
ing to see who is the king of theneighborhood,” Mitchell chuckled.
Dunk of the Year: In a win overSouth in the Moir Christmas Clas-sic, Salisbury’s Corey Murphyflipped a pass off the backboard toRankin, who flushed. Which leadsus to ...
Best Dunker: It was North’sStarks, who probably led the countyin rim-rattling stuffs.
Best Newcomer: Salisbury’s 6-7
Jarrett Rivens moved in from Vir-ginia and dominated inside.
Best Debut: To Mitchell, whosefirst game as a boys coach was an86-22 win over South Stanly.
Diaper Dandy Award: As good asthe seniors are, the freshmen arepretty tough, too, none better thanSalisbury’s Brielle Blaire, the MVPof the Hornets’ state title win overEast Bladen.
Most Inspirational Win:Hours aftervisiting Mallory Drew, who brokeher leg in a car accident, EastRowan’s girls upset West 60-58.
Ugliest Win: South’s girls made 34turnovers, missed 27 of 42 freethrows and still beat Central Cabar-rus 49-45.
Mr. Clutch Award: South Rowan’sQua Neal hit a corner 3 in the finalseconds to beat Cox Mill 56-55.• Carson’s Nick Houston drilled
a 3 to force a second overtime andthen hit two free throws with fourseconds left to beat South 68-66.• After South Davidson took a
61-60 lead, North’s Starks took theball the length of the court for athree-point play and the win.
Most Photogenic: Rankin had hisphoto in the paper 25 times, edgingout South’s Johnathan Gaddy (24)and West’s Keshun Sherrill (23).The top girl was Salisbury’s
Ayanna Holmes with 21.North’s boys coach Mitchell was
the most photographed leader onthe bench with 15.
Best Fans: A late-season surgegave this award to North Rowan.
Best Student Section: Carson will
have to win its title back next sea-son. West Rowan’s kids showed upin force, all wearing the same color.
Gut-Check Award: Because of badweather, North Rowan’s boysplayed four games in four days.They went 4-0.“We’re tired, man,” said Har-
grave.The Windex Award: For cleaning
the glass, Carson’s Rik Heggins,who said after one game, “Whenev-er I see a ball come off the rim, Iautomatically know it’s mine.”
Most Talented Manager: EastRowan’s Hank Delaney, who scoredagainst South.And finally ...Pep Talk of the Year: To South
boys coach John Davis, who re-minded his 5-12 Raiders before-hand that it didn’t matter what Car-son’s record was (it was 8-12) whenthe rivals met at South, which re-sulted in a Raider win:
“I don’t have to motivate you foranything. You know what’s at risk.You know who’s here. You’ve got agym full of people in there. There’sgoing to be a lot of screaming andhollering on both sides. Let’s go outthere, play some basketball andhave some fun.”Man, I’ve got cold chills — from
Davis’ pep talk and thinking aboutthe best senior class of athletes I’veever seen.Thanks for the memories.
Two of the biggest winners in Rowan County were Salisbury’s John Knox, left, and West Rowan’s B.J. Sherrill.
Dear Seniors: Thanks for the memories

CHARLOTTE — KyrieIrving stolethe inboundpass andsped down-
court toward the helplessHampton defender under thebasket. He leaped for a layupwith his right hand, thenswitched to his left in mid-air.Duke’s electrifying point
guard sure didn’t look like hehadn’t played since Decem-ber. And if he keeps produc-ing highlights like this, hisHall of Fame coach will takecare of two milestones in amatter of days.Irving scored 14 points in
his first game in threemonths, and top-seeded Dukerouted 16th-seeded Hampton87-45 on Friday in the secondround of the West Regionalfor coach Mike Krzyzewski’s899th career victory.“I haven’t played in three
months, so this game was re-ally nerve-racking,” Irvingsaid. “But once I got the but-terflies out, I started to playreally well.”Andre Dawkins added 13
points, Mason Plumlee had12, Kyle Singler finished with11 and Miles Plumlee had 13rebounds for the Blue Devils(31-4), who never trailed andshot 53 percent. They domi-nated from the start, winningtheir fourth straight and ad-vancing to a third-roundmatchup with No. 8 seedMichigan (21-13) on Sunday.Most of the attention sur-
rounding this one centeredaround Irving, whose returnadds another elite player to a
Blue Devils roster alreadyfull of them.After Irving injured the
big toe on his right foot onDec. 4, the Blue Devils pre-pared for life without him forthe rest of the season. Heworked out in public lastweek before an ACC tourna-ment game, fueling specula-tion that he might return. Ini-tially, Krzyzewski down-played the possibility beforeacknowledging it earlier thisweek and then pronouncinghim ready to play limitedminutes.“A guy with his talent, him
at 70 percent is better than alot of guys at 100 percent,”Dawkins said.
Irving checked in with15:19 left in the first half to astanding ovation from theDuke fans. Perhaps trying todo too much too soon, he waswhistled for charging on hissecond trip downcourt, andhis first shot — a wild up-and-under layup — wasn’t close.“I was pressing a little bit
instead of letting the gamecome to me,” Irving said.On his next shift, he
showed he’s just as quick asbefore. Irving burst down theleft side of the lane, drew aslap on the arm from KwameMorgan and tumbled to thecourt — only to pop right up,unaffected, and knock downtwo free throws.
And once he found hisrhythm from the field, he wasnearly impossible for Hamp-ton to stop, scoring on a pairof authoritative drives to therim before hitting 3-pointerson consecutive trips down-court in the final 2 minutes.“The thing I was worried
about was just staying outthere and keeping up witheverybody,” Irving said.Turns out, down the
stretch, the Pirates were theones who had trouble keepingup with him.“He’s a lottery pick,”
Hampton coach EdwardJoyner Jr. said.Perhaps overlooked in the
obsession with Irving’s toewas the latest career accom-plishment for their Hall ofFame coach.Coach K moved one win
from joining Bob Knight asthe only Division I men’scoaches with 900 career vic-tories. He can tie his mentorand former coach at 902 winsif the Blue Devils win theWest Regional final andclinch their 12th Final Fourberth under him.A victory in Houston
would not only put Duke backin the national championshipgame, it would leaveKrzyzewski alone atop thewins list.Krzyzewski’s 100th NCAA
tournament game at Dukeended like so many of theones before it — in lopsidedfashion.Duke was up by double fig-
ures before Hampton man-aged its first rebound, openedthe game on a 16-4 run andnever let up while essential-
ly putting the Pirates out ofit at halftime. The Blue Dev-ils bridged the halves by reel-ing off 14 straight points,then made it a 30-point gameon Nolan Smith’s dunk withjust under 16 minutes to play.By then, they were well ontheir way to their 15thstraight NCAA tournamentwin in the state of North Car-olina.Mid-Eastern Athletic Con-
ference champion Hampton(24-9) had its five-game win-
ning streak snapped. Its topthree scorers — Darrion Pel-lum, Morgan and CharlesFunches — were a combined9 for 29.“Sometimes the awe of the
moment gets to you,” Joynersaid. “We missed defensiveassignments. We threw theball away. We missed a bunchof layups. They (Duke) don’tdo that.”Pellum finished with nine
points, roughly half his aver-age, for Hampton.

CHARLOTTE — TylerZeller andJohn Hen-son scoredalmost at
will inside against an over-matched opponent. HarrisonBarnes wasn’t too bad, either.Still, amid the career highs
and gaudy numbers, there wasjust enough sloppiness,turnovers and bad 3-pointshooting for North Carolinacoach Roy Williams to haveconcerns in the school’s re-turn to the NCAA tournament.Zeller scored 32 points,
Henson added 28 points andsix blocks, Barnes had 24points and 16 rebounds andNorth Carolina used its hulk-ing size to mask other prob-lems in a 102-87 victory overscrappy Long Island Univer-sity on Friday night in the EastRegional.“Am I pleased about the
win? You’re darn right,”Williams said. “Am I pleasedabout some of the turnovers?Not at all. Am I pleased aboutgoing 3-for-17 from the 3-pointline? Not at all. But we haveto build on this to be ready toplay better in the next game.”And Williams was quick to
point out it was good to beback on this stage.After winning the 2009
NCAA title, North Carolinawas relegated to the NIT ayear ago in a season that end-ed with 17 losses. It wasn’t aseasy as expected by many, butthe second-seeded Tar Heels(27-7) eventually wore downthe 15th-seeded Blackbirds(27-6) thanks to their big men.The 7-footer Zeller and 6-
10 Henson kept catching highpasses for easy layups oversmaller LIU to each record ca-reer highs in points. Theycombined to hit 22 of 29 freethrows. Henson, who was hit-ting 47 percent of his foulshots, went 8-for-10.“We had mismatches inside
so we just kept throwing it in-side and I got lucky and madesome shots,” Zeller said.Julian Boyd had 18 points
and 12 rebounds, C.J. Garneradded 16 points and JamalOlasewere scored 15 for LIU,which faded after rallying totie with under 5 minutes left
in the first half as its nation-best 13-game winning streakwas snapped.“We don’t see size like that.
I don’t think there are manyteams in the country that arethat long,” LIU coach Jim Fer-ry said. “We’re a team thatgoes inside a lot and getsfouled, but they had 10blocked shots. We’re just notused to that.”Still, North Carolina was
far from sharp despite play-ing a virtual home game 21/2hours from campus.There was a meltdown in
the first half and another hic-cup midway through the sec-ond when the Tar Heels’ 21-point lead was sliced to 10.“I think it’s one of those
things that nobody has playedsignificant minutes in the(NCAA) tournament,” saidZeller, one of only two playersleft from the 2009 team. “It’sone of those things that whenyou get up by 10 or 15 in a reg-ular-season game they mightjust go away, but it’s their lastgame and they’re going tokeep coming back.”LIU, which came in as the
nation’s fourth-highest scor-ing team at 82.6 points a game,didn’t shy away from runningwith the equally fast-pacedTar Heels. But North Caroli-na’s overwhelming talent wasthe difference in its 24th con-secutive NCAA tournamentwin in its home state.
The Tar Heels, who over-came 18 turnovers with 51percent shooting from thefield, will play the Washing-ton-Georgia winner Sunday.The Blackbirds, the North-
east Conference championsmaking their first NCAA ap-pearance since 1997, fell to 0-4 in the tournament despite adecent showing in a difficultenvironment.“I hope we did prove some-
thing,” Olasewere said. “Wewent out there and played ashard as we could, and we gaveNorth Carolina a fight withthem being an ACC team anda No. 2 seed. I think we proveda lot even though we lost.”And LIU’s 3-minute stretch
of flawless basketball in thefirst half briefly had theirsmall, but loud, fan contingentdreaming.After falling behind 12-2
and 31-19, the Blackbirds sud-denly got their high-scoringoffense going. As North Car-olina went on a turnoverspree, Olasewere was scoringoff the dribble, Boyd knockeddown a 3-pointer and Ferrywas doing a triple-fist pumpin a 12-0 run to tie it.
But the Blackbirds, who en-tered with a nation-best 13road victories, had no answerfor North Carolina’s big men.Henson surpassed his ca-
reer high by halftime with 20points, and Barnes’ late scor-ing spurt put the Tar Heels up53-42 at the break even asWilliams fumed, punching achair after North Carolina’s11th turnover of the half.The Tar Heels’ 7-0 run to
start the second half put it outof reach. Henson, whose pre-vious career high was 19points, later scored sixstraight points to make it 66-45 with 16:47 left.Zeller had his way inside in
the second half against an LIUteam whose tallest starter was6-7, scoring 25 points. KendallMarshall added 10 assists inNorth Carolina’s 15th win in17 games.The Tar Heels know, how-
ever, that things will gettougher.“We made some crucial
mistakes,” Zeller said. “Thoseare mistakes we can’t make inthe further rounds.”

Hope indisasterIt’s hard for me to imag-ine what the Japanese
people are goingthrough right now. First,
they had apowerfulearthquake.While therehas beensome cover-age of theearthquakethe secondtwo disastersare stealingthe headlines.The earth-quake trig-
gered a powerful tsunami.The video I have watched ofthis is unbelievable. I saw ahuge farm and a small townwashed away in a matter ofa few seconds. Nothingseemed to stop the wall ofwater as it pushed ashore.The images and stories ofsurvival are horrific andunbelievable.If all that is not bad
enough, the country is alsofacing a nuclear disaster ifthey can’t find a way to shutdown or at least cool downthe nuclear reactors in thenorthern part of the coun-try. If they lose control ofthese reactors the ensuingdisaster might eclipse theearthquake and tsunami.The Japanese people arestruggling to recover froma disaster of a magnitudethat we would have a hardtime imagining. They arealso having a difficult timewith their economy just aswe are.We aren’t immune to nat-
ural disasters in the UnitedStates. California has hadearthquakes. The East andGulf coasts have beenstruck by hurricanes likeHugo and Katrina. We havealso experienced a nuclearplant problem at Three MileIsland. These disasterswere horrific for our coun-try and especially for thosewho lived through them.There are many old storiesof disasters in our countrywhere people have lostproperty and their lives.These huge natural dis-
asters should serve to re-mind us that we need to getour lives right with God. Noone knows the day or thehour of their departurefrom this life. So we need toget to know our maker inthis life so He will welcomeus into an eternity that wecan hope for while we arealive. If we don’t get toknow God now and commitour lives into His hands,then we won’t get the privi-lege of spending eternitywith Him in heaven. Thedoor is open and God iswaiting for each one of us.Some may wonder if
God sent this great disasteron Japan. Those are peoplewho do not know God or hisgreat love for mankind. Ibelieve that God wept forthe Japanese people on Fri-day. He takes no pleasure inwatching people suffer. Hisheart reaches out to theJapanese people, wanting todraw them close and com-fort them.If your heart has been
touched by this great disas-ter, there are so many waysyou can help. First, I wouldcaution you to be carefulwhere you put your moneyor resources. There areplenty of people who willtry to scam you out of yourhard earned money. Checkout any organization beforeyou donate money so youcan be sure that your mon-ey actually gets to the peo-ple in need. Two great or-ganizations that do wonder-ful work in disasters are theAmerican Red Cross andSamaritan’s Purse. One thing we can all do
right now is lift the Japan-ese people up in prayer. Ourprayers, both individual and

In 1921, a bishop of theLutheran church in N.C. ini-tiated a much-needed fund tohelp mission congregationsconstruct their first build-ings. Soon the Brotherhoodof North Carolina LutheranMen assumed its manage-ment. The Loan and Gift fundwas like Elijah’s vessel ofbiblical fame — what waspoured out to fund ministriesof the Lutheran church wascontinually renewed. In 1953 the Home Mission
Foundation (HMF) wasfounded and became the cus-todian of the fund. To date ithas dispersed over $7 millionin loans. These contributionshave largely gone unrecog-nized, so HMF commissioneda book to preserve and shareits remarkable history. “LIVING VESSELS: A
History of the Home MissionFoundation” records the min-istry and stewardship of the
Foundation. “Donations largeand small flow through thefoundation to provide loansto congregations, grants toeducate pastors, and funds tovarious agencies of theLutheran church,” said DavidCarlyle Beam of Cherryville,president of the HMF.“These donations are invest-ed and continue to grow andproduce fruit.”In the recently released
book, the history is toldthrough four symbolic ves-sels. The first, the Loan and
Gift Fund, was created tohold money that would buildchurches. By 1920, only 25 ofthe state's 100 counties hadLutheran churches. Throughthe fund, mission congrega-tions received no or low in-terest loans to build, and asthey repaid the loans, the ves-sel refilled. Results followed. In 1921

By TERRY MATTINGLYScripps Howard News Service
A mere three years ago, DianaDavis published a hands-on bookfor church leaders titled “FreshIdeas For Women's Ministry.”When flipping through its
pages, she said, one of the firstthings she notices is a missingword — Facebook. She needs torewrite the whole book to coverthis reality gap.“That obvious, isn’t it? It’s so
obvious that we ought to be usingFacebook to tell more womenabout our Bible studies andprayer groups and retreats andthings like that,” said Davis, whohas been married to a SouthernBaptist pastor and administratorfor nearly four decades, workingin Texas and Indiana.This connection is certainly ob-
vious in America's megachurchsubculture and the digital-mediapros and market-research con-sultants who serve it. Davis, how-ever, has focused most of her at-tention as a speaker and writer onchurches that occupy corners inordinary neighborhoods, not thegiant sanctuaries that resembleshopping malls.Lots of churches, she noted,
don’t even have solid websites.Facebook? Isn't it that comput-
er thing all the teens use to wastetime?“Many small churches, or even
our medium-sized churches, havenothing — nothing,” she said.“There are people who still do not
realize that if you’renot online, or if youare not on Face-book, you do not ex-ist for lots of peopletoday. Your churchsimply does not ex-ist."The disconnected leaders of
these churches should start doingthe math, she argued, in a BaptistPress essay offering advice tothose who have remained un-plugged from Facebook.First, pastors should request “a
show of hands to find out howmany church members use Face-book,” she said. “The averageFacebook user has 130 registered‘friends,’ so if just 20 churchmembers use Facebook, that’s po-tentially 2,600 people who couldread posts about your church.One hundred members with Face-book could touch 13,000. ...Con-vinced?”Once they recognize the poten-
tial, religious leaders must learnhow to handle life in the paralleluniverse of social networking.Here are some key rules drawnfrom work Davis has done withchurch leaders who have takentheir knocks.• It's crucial to understand
the differences between websites,which users enter on their ownseeking information, and Face-book pages, which –— through“friends” links — can send semi-invited messages into someone'spersonal “News Feed.”• “With Facebook,” she ex-
plained, “you're sending mes-
sages to your members, butyou’re also sending messages totheir friends and then, potential-ly, to their friends and on and on.So it’s more aggressive, in a way.You’re on offense, not defense.”• Newcomers should proceed
with caution in this casual, yet in-tense medium. Clergy, she said,“know they have to think beforethey speak. Now they’re learningthat they have to think beforethey click. ... For example, pas-tors are supposed to use the lan-guage well. But if you put some-thing on Facebook that has two orthree misspelled words in it, peo-ple are going to think that youdon't know what you’re talkingabout."• It's important to keep mes-
sages short, positive and audi-ence-appropriate. Facebook, shesaid, “is a good place to send out aprayer request, but it’s not theplace to share details of some-one’s surgery. This is not theplace to talk about the fine detailsof your church's finances.”• Know that even simple ama-
teur videos can help. For exam-ple, senior adults are more likelyto feel comfortable visiting an ex-ercise class if they can watch ashort video showing others takingpart. It helps to show newcomers
what your flock is doing.• Social networks cannot re-
place the human touch of true hu-man networks. Facebook postscannot replace a covered-dishsupper, but they can help bringmore dishes and people throughthe church door.For example, as soon as news
reports began about the earth-quake and tsunami in Japan,Davis said her own church rushedout a message urging membersand their friends to attend aprayer event. Then volunteerssent the message to other church-es and their small-group net-works. In short, the invitation“went viral” at the local level.The result: Instant prayer
service.“That message went all over
the place,” she said. “We couldhave never done that by tele-phone — that fast, to that manypeople outside our church. Peoplecame from everywhere. ...“This is real. This is something
that more churches just have totry.”

PARIS (AP) —The EuropeanCourt of HumanRights ruled Fri-day that crucifix-es are acceptablein public schoolclassrooms, andits decision willbe binding in 47countries.
The rulingoverturned a de-cision the courthad reached inNovember 2009in which it saidthe crucifixcould be disturb-ing to non-Chris-tian or atheistpupils. Led byItaly, several Eu-ropean countries appealedthat ruling.
The case originated inItaly, and Friday’s final ver-dict was immediately wel-comed in Rome. “The pop-ular sentiment in Europehas won today,” said ItalianForeign Minister FrancoFrattini.
All 47 countries that aremembers of the Council ofEurope, the continent’s hu-man rights watchdog, will berequired to obey the ruling.
The European Court ofHuman Rights, which isbased in Strasbourg,France, said Italian publicschools did nothing wrongby hanging crucifixes intheir classrooms, in a casethat divided Europe's tra-ditional Catholic countriesand their more secularneighbors.
Friday’s final decisionby the court's Grand Cham-ber said it found no evi-dence “that the display ofsuch a symbol on class-room walls might have aninfluence on pupils.”
The case was broughtby Soile Lautsi, a Finnish-born mother who said pub-lic schools in her Italiantown refused to remove theRoman Catholic symbolsfrom classrooms. She saidthe crucifix violates thesecular principles the pub-lic schools are supposed touphold.
Massimo Albertin, Laut-si's husband, said Fridaythat the family was disap-pointed and “disillusioned”by the ruling, saying it
showed that the court didn’trespect the principles onwhich Italian society is built.
“Freedom of religion, free-dom from discrimination,freedom of choice are funda-mental principles and in thiscase they weren’t respected,”Albertin said by phone fromAbano Terme near Padua,where the family lives.
A self-described atheist,Albertin said he didn’t thinkthe family had any further re-course, saying the rulingshowed “the Vatican is toostrong for individuals.”
The children, who were 11and 13 at the time the case be-gan, are now 20 and 22 and inuniversity. He said whileLautsi’s name was on thecourt documentation, it wasvery much a joint initiative.
The original case washeard by a seven-judge pan-el. The appeal hearing washeard by a “grand chamber”of 19 judges.
The case set up a con-frontation between tradition-al Catholic and Orthodoxcountries and nations in the
north that observe a strictseparation between churchand state.
Italy and more than adozen other countries foughtthe original ruling, contend-ing the crucifix is a symbolof the continent’s historicand cultural roots.
The ruling came as Vati-can officials announced theHoly See is reaching out toatheists with a series of en-counters and debates aimedat fostering intellectual dia-logue and introducing nonbe-lievers to God.
Ahead of the court deci-sion, Cardinal GianfrancoRavasi, a top Vatican offi-cial, said the crucifix was“one of the greatest symbolsin the West,” like the cres-cent moon is in the Muslimworld, and that denying it orcanceling it out risked can-celing out Western identity.
The crucifix, he said “is asign of civilization, even ifyou don’t recognize it theo-logically,” said Ravasi, whoheads the Vatican's cultureoffice.

Pray that his lovewill wash over them muchlike the tsunami did andbring hope and healing to agrief-stricken people. Godloves them just as he lovesus. We need to ask God tobless and comfort them andto help them find a way tomove forward. May Godhave mercy on Japan andmay his love, peace, andmercy fill their hearts.

the synod had nine missionpoints. Two years later it re-ported 27, a 300 percent in-crease. Today, 57 countieshave Lutheran congregationsand some 103 N.C. Lutherancongregations have receivedHMF loans.
The success of this build-ing vessel led to the develop-ment of three others. Onefunded a seminary professor-ship; others provide semi-nary scholarships and bene-fit mission development.
Lutheran Brotherhood, lat-er renamed the North Caroli-na Lutheran Men in Mission(NCLMM), managed the funduntil 1953 and remains itsstrongest supporter.
“We hope that the publica-tion of this book will allow thelight of its ministries to shineforth,” said Harold W. YostSr. of Concord, executive di-rector of NCLMM. “Thisbook identifies HMF as animportant partner in Luther-an ministry. The foundationcontinues its history of judi-cious gift management andhopes, through this book, toincrease its ability to make adifference.
“This history is living,’said HMF President Emeri-tus Joe Ridenhour, the onlysurviving founder. “In thenext 50 years we expect tosee the creation of addition-al vessels, new opportunitiesto serve.”
“The Home Mission Foun-dation is ready to creativelymeet the contemporaryneeds of the Church,” saidPresident Beam.
The HMF history waswritten by the Rev. Dr. H.George Anderson, a formerpresiding bishop of the Evan-gelical Lutheran Church inAmerica. A graduate of Yaleand Lutheran TheologicalSouthern Seminary in Colum-bia, S.C., he later served aspresident of the seminary.
“Writing the history of theHome Mission Foundationhas opened my eyes to howLutheran laymen can dogreat things when they see areal need,” wrote Anderson.
The book’s appendices in-cludes numerous listings offounders, contributors, schol-arship recipients and finan-cial information compiled bytask force members: DavidBeam , Harold Yost, Joe Ri-denhour of Boone, andClarence Pugh of Hickory.
The book was edited anddesigned by Donna Prunkland printed by DiversifiedGraphics, Inc., both of Salis-bury. Cheryl Goins of Pottery101 in Salisbury crafted thepottery vessels used in the il-lustrations.
North Carolina Lutherancongregations and clergy, sem-inary scholarship recipients,and Lutheran colleges andseminaries will receive com-plimentary copies, many dur-ing the N.C. Synod Assemblyin June. Copies are availablefrom the Home Mission Foun-dation, 1988 Lutheran SynodDrive, Salisbury, NC 28144.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)— In the old translation ofthe world's most popularBible, John the Evangelistdeclares: “If anyone says, ‘Ilove God,’ yet hates hisbrother, he is a liar.” Makethat “brother or sister” in anew translation that includesmore gender-neutral lan-guage and is drawing criti-cism from some conserva-tives who argue the changescan alter the theologicalmessage.The 2011 translation of
the New International Ver-sion Bible, or NIV, does notchange pronouns referringto God, who remains “He”and “the Father.” But itdoes aim to avoid using“he” or “him” as the defaultreference to an unspecifiedperson.The NIV Bible is used by
many of the largest Protes-tant faiths. The translationcomes from an independentgroup of biblical scholarsthat has been meeting year-ly since 1965 to discuss ad-vances in biblical scholar-ship and changes in Englishusage.Before the new transla-
tion even hit stores, it drewopposition from the Councilon Biblical Manhood andWomanhood, an organiza-tion that believes womenshould submit to their hus-bands in the home and onlymen can hold some leader-ship roles in the church.The council decided it
would not endorse the newversion because thechanges alter “the theologi-cal direction and meaningof the text,” according to astatement. Similar concernsled the Southern BaptistConvention to reject theNIV’s previous translationin 2005.At issue is how to trans-
late pronouns that apply toboth genders in the ancientGreek and Hebrew textsbut have traditionally beentranslated using masculineforms in English.An example from the
translator's notes for Mark4:25 to show how the NIV’stranslation of these wordshas evolved over the pastquarter-century.The widely distributed
1984 version of the NIVquotes Jesus: “Whoever haswill be given more; whoev-er does not have, even whathe has will be taken fromhim.”The more recent incarna-
tion of the NIV from 2005,called Today’s New Inter-national Version, changedthat to: “Those who havewill be given more; as forthose who do not have, evenwhat they have will be tak-en from them.”The CBMW had com-
plained in 2005 that makingthe subject of a verse pluralto convey that it could referequally to a man or awoman “potentially ob-scured an important aspectof biblical thought — that ofthe personal relationshipbetween an individual andGod.”The NIV 2011 seems to
have taken that criticisminto account and come upwith a compromise: “Who-ever has will be givenmore; whoever does nothave, even what they havewill be taken from them.While the translators’
former grammar teachersmay not like it, the transla-tors offer a strong justifica-
tion for their choice of“they” (instead of theclunky “he” or “she”) and“them” (instead of “him orher”) to refer back to thesingular “whoever.”They commissioned an
extensive study of the waymodern English writers andspeakers convey gender in-clusiveness. According tothe translators’ notes on theCommittee on Bible Trans-lation’s website, “The gen-der-neutral pronoun ‘they’(‘them’/’their’) is by far themost common way thatEnglish-language speakersand writers today referback to singular an-tecedents such as ‘whoev-er,’ ‘anyone,’ ‘somebody,’ ‘ape’son,’ “no one,' and thelike.”Randy Stinson, president
of the CBMW and dean ofthe School of Church Min-istries at the Southern Bap-tist Theological Seminary,said the changes are espe-cially important to evangel-icals.“Evangelicals believe in
the verbal plenary inspira-tion of scripture. We be-lieve every word is inspiredby God, not just the broadthought,” he said.So if the original text
reads “brothers”— even ifthat word in the originallanguage is known to mean“brothers and sisters” (suchas the Hebrew “achim” orSpanish word “hermanos”)— many evangelicals be-lieve the English transla-tion should read “brothers.”Stinson said a notes sec-
tion would be the best placeto point out that the originalword could be read to in-clude men and women.It's not yet known if the
Southern Baptist Conven-tion will reject the newtranslation the way it didthe 2005 version. The na-tion's largest Protestant de-nomination still sells the1984 translation in itsstores. If it chooses to con-demn the new version, thatwould happen at its nationalconvention in June.The publisher says the
NIV 2011 will replace boththe 1984 and 2005 versions.Even while panning the
new translation, the CBMWthanked the Committee onBible Translation for beingopen about the process theyused to develop it. That in-cluded taking commentsfrom all sides of the genderdebate.And the new version
doesn’t always use genderneutral language. It takesreader sensibility into ac-count by not using inclusiveterms for some of the mostfamiliar verses where thatmight sound jarring. For in-stance, Matthew 4:4 is ren-dered, “Man shall not liveon bread alone.”That's a change from the
TNIV, where the samephase read, “People do notlive on bread alone.”“I think that clause has
entered into standard Eng-lish,” translator DouglasMoo explained of the moveback to the more traditional“man.” “People know it whodon’t know the Bible.”Moo said the translators
hope that the phrasing ofthe new NIV is so naturalthat the average readerwon't be aware of any of thegender language concernsthat are debated by biblicalscholars and linguists.The group’s website says
its goal is “to articulateGod’s unchanging Word inthe way the original authorsmight have said it if theyhad been speaking in Eng-lish to the global English-speaking audience today."While the change to the
generic “man” in verseslike Matthew 4:4 is applaud-ed by the Council on Bibli-cal Manhood and Woman-hood, linguist Joel M. Hoff-man, author of “And GodSaid — How TranslationsConceal the Bible's OriginalMeaning,” said it is simplyincorrect.“‘Anthropos'’ (the Greek
word in the original text)means ‘person,’ plain andsimple,” he said. “It’s asmuch a mistake as translat-ing ‘parent’ as ‘father.’”He doesn’t buy the argu-
ment that “man” is under-stood in English to refer tomen and women.“If you walk into a
church on Sunday morningand say, ‘Will every manstand up?’ I would beshocked if the women stoodup, too.”

played to make four spades?West leads the diamond jack.East takes two tricks in thesuit, then shifts to a heart.In the auction, South’s re-
double showed 10-plus high-card points. When West advanced with
one diamond, he said that hehad a definite preference fordiamonds over hearts andspades. And since he wasmarked with a weak hand, hisbid promised no points.South’s two-spade rebid guar-anteed at least a five-card suitand was forcing.Declarer could afford only
one trump loser. But East’stakeout double said that hehad at least three cards ineach of the three unbid suits,spades, hearts and diamonds.And since only 14 points weremissing, South felt sure thatEast had the spade king. So,declarer won the heart returnwith his king and led a lowspade to dummy’s nine: an in-trafinesse. East won with the jack and
played another heart. Southwon with dummy’s ace andcalled for the spade queen.This scooped up East’s kingand West’s 10. Beautiful!Phillip Alder is teaching

SALISBURY POST TV / HOROSCOPE SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 2011 • 7C
Saturday, March 19Operating independently of others in the
near future could be an extremely importantskill to learn. However, if you find this to bea necessity, handle it very tactfully so thatyou don’t alienate any of your alliances.
Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Respectful-ly listen to the suggestions of those who thinkthey know better, just in case they do, butdon’t abdicate your own sound judgment. Fol-low whatever idea you think is best.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Instead ofwaiting for an inept assistant to help, you’dbe better off in the long run doing things foryourself. Their free labor could end up be-ing very costly.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Be carefulabout taking a chance on something that re-quires a lot of guesswork, especially if it iscostly, because chances are it is designed tofail. All you will gain is an empty wallet.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Do not make abig decision without consulting with the en-tire family, if it is something that would af-fect them as well. One among them mightcome up with a better solution.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Don’t commenton anything that could be a sensitive matterto someone else, and especially don’t offerany advice concerning the matter. Let every-body have a say first.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — You know betterthan most not to base expenditures on fundsyou are hoping to receive. If you continue topractice prudence and practicality with yourfinances, you’ll do just ducky.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Waiting untileverybody else has made their plans beforemaking yours will not gain you any kind ofadvantage. Form a blueprint and then stickby it.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Keep pace withyour productive planning, especially if yourworkload is heavier than usual. If you take aminute to do something else and fall behind,you might never catch up in a timely fash-ion.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — It might feelgood to buck the will of the majority, butchances are it will also cause dissension with-in your circle. Brush off your ego and jointhe rest of the world.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — When itcomes to competitive involvements, take carethat you’re not tripped up by your own care-lessness rather than by the opposition. Closeyour mouth and tie your shoes.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — If you’resmart you’ll keep your hopes for the day toyourself, just in case you won’t be able to pullthings off. If this doesn’t work out, you won’tbe embarrassed.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Check yourbillfold to see if it would support taking onan additional expenditures before makingany plans. Be prepared to slam the brakes onyour spending if you think a crash would beimminent.

Review of vitamins D and EDear Dr. Gott: I’ve heard a
lot of mixed things about vi-tamins D and E. Can you tellme the good and the badabout them? Thank you.
Dear Reader: Vitamin D isfat-soluble, meaning that it isstored by the body for future
use. It can bep r o d u c e dwithin thebody duringexposure tosunlight andis also avail-able in somefoods andthrough sup-plements. Be-fore the bodycan use it,
however, it must undergo twochanges. The first occurs inthe liver, the second in thekidneys. At this point, it isnow active and ready for usein the body.Vitamin D is widely known
to aid calcium absorption. Italso maintains appropriateblood-calcium and phosphatelevels, which are necessaryfor normal bone mineraliza-tion. It is necessary for bonegrowth and remodeling (re-pair). The body also uses Vi-tamin D for reducing inflam-mation, modulation of cellgrowth and normal function-ing of the immune and neuro-muscular systems.Because Vitamin D is not
naturally found in manyfoods, it is commonly addedto cereals, milk and otherdairy products. Some foodsthat naturally contain D in-clude cod-liver oil, salmon,tuna, mackerel, sardines, liv-er and eggs.The recommended dietary
allowance (RDA) varies with
age. Infants from birth to 12months should receive 400 IUdaily. Children and adultsfrom 1 to 70 years of ageshould obtain 600 IU daily.For those over 70, the RDA is800 IU daily.Deficiency can cause rick-
ets and osteomalacia. Ricketsis the softening and weaken-ing of bones in children. Itmay also cause bone deformi-ties. Osteomalacia is the soft-ening of the bones in adults.It is not the same as osteo-porosis. Osteomalacia is theresult of an abnormality dur-ing the making of bone,whereas osteoporosis occursin otherwise healthy, normalbone.Excessive intake (toxicity)
can result in loss of appetite,weight loss, heart-rhythm ab-normalities and elevatedblood-calcium levels withsubsequence heart, kidneyand blood-vessel damage.Toxicity does not occur fromexcessive sun exposure. Highintake of enriched vitamin Dfoods is also unlikely to causetoxicity so the problem lies inthe overconsumption of sup-plements.Vitamin E is the name giv-
en to a group of fat-solublecompounds with distinctiveantioxidant activities. Thereare eight chemical forms butonly one (alpha-tocopherol) isrecognized to meet human re-quirements. It is responsiblefor protecting cells fromfree-radical damage and is in-volved in immune function,cell signaling, regulation ofgene expression and variousother metabolic processes. Italso inhibits protein kinase Cactivity (an enzyme) and in-directly dilates blood vessels
and inhibits platelet aggrega-tion (clumping).Most dietary sources of vi-
tamin E come from nuts andoils. These include wheat-germ oil; almonds and hazel-nuts; soybean oil; sunflowerseeds and sunflower oil;peanuts, peanut butter andpeanut oil; safflower oil; andcorn oil. It can also be foundin spinach, broccoli, kiwis,tomatoes and mangoes.The RDA is 6 IU (4 mil-
ligrams) for those up to age6 months, 7.5 IU (5 mil-ligrams) for those from 6 to12 months, 9 IU (6 mil-ligrams) for ages 1 to 3, 10.4IU (7 milligrams) for ages 4to 8, 16.4 IU (11 milligrams)for those 9 to 13, and 22.4 (15milligrams) for those overage 14. Lactating womenshould consume 28.4 IU (19milligrams) daily.Deficiency is rare, and
symptoms have not beenfound in otherwise healthypeople who fail to get ade-quate amounts from their di-ets. Deficiency is most com-mon in individuals with anunderlying condition thatcauses fat malabsorption.Symptoms include peripher-al neuropathy, immune im-pairment, retinopathy andmore.Research has not shown
that vitamin E obtained froma healthful diet can cause tox-icity; however, supplementscan cause problems to in-clude poor clotting and hem-orrhage.

Expect more rain and snow across the West Coast on Saturday, due to a slow moving low pressure system in the Pacific Ocean. The system will slowly move onshore and continue pushing a cold front southeastward through California. By evening, the system will stretch from the Northern Rockies, over the Intermountain West, and into southern California. Along the front, expect periods of heavy snow showers, with rain and low levels, in addition to strong winds. Maximum wind gusts will range from 30 to 40 mph, up to 50 and 60 mph at high mountain passes. Please take caution on roads and only travel if necessary. Snowfall accumulation will range from 4 to 6 inches across the Sierras and the Northern Rockies. Rainfall totals at lower levels will range from a half of an inch to an inch across the West Coast. Elsewhere across the nation, a ridge of high pressure dominates the East Coast. This allows for mostly sunny, dry, and warm conditions from the Southeast to the Northeast. In the Central US, a cold front stalls over the Central Plains. Meanwhile, a trough moves off the Rockies and joins the frontal boundary, changing it into a warm front and slowly pushes it northeastward. This will kick up widespread scattered rain showers from Oklahoma to Iowa, reaching into the Upper Midwest in the evening hours.

This Week’s Featured Property
(ARA) - Slim is “in” ... and not just for peo-ple watching their weight. Flat screen TVsand the wall mounts that turn the TVs intodecorator showpieces seem to growsleeker and slimmer every year. Andwhen it comes to viewing technology, thin-ner not only looks better, it has practicaladvantages, too.
Yes, ultra-slim flat screens may cost youa few more dollars initially, but in the longrun will probably provide you with enoughuser satisfaction to justify the extra ex-pense. And don’t forget that prices forstandard flat screens dropped precipi-tously in just a few years after the prod-ucts entered the marketplace, so it’slikely prices for slim models will followsuit.
Here are a few reasons why you shouldgo trim and slim when buying a flatscreen and wall mount:
Aesthetic appealIf you bought a flat screen TV in 2006, itmay still work well but it probably takesup quite a bit of space on your TV standor - if you wall-mounted it - sticks out intothe room considerably. Older flat screenstended to be several inches thick andcould appear bulky, even when mountedhigh on the wall.
Today’s slimmer styles may be just aninch or two think, and ultra-slim modelscan be less than an inch thick. Less bulkmeans the TV looks better, whether it’sstand- or wall-mounted. And new super-slim full-motion wall mounts like Sanus’VisionMount VLF311 Super Slim, provideall the advantages and conveniences ofwall-mounting a flat screen, but withoutadding a lot of bulk to the TV’s profile.The mounts offer a full range of motion
courtesy of fingertip-tilt technology, butplace flat screens 36 to 65 inches in sizejust 1.25 inches from the wall.
Safety factorThe weight of flat screens can be decep-tive. Even older models look so sleek thatit’s easy to underestimate their weight.But all TVs tend to be heavy, and, if notproperly secured to the wall or a TVstand, can tip over, posing an injury riskto people and pets in the household.Less bulk means slim flat screens are abit lighter than their thicker counterparts.Remember, however, that it’s imperativeto properly secure all TVs, including slimflat screens, in order to ensure they’resafe - and enjoyable - for everyone in thehome.
EfficiencyManufacturers have been improving theefficiency of flat screens since the TVs
emerged on the home market. Virtuallyany flat screen - whether plasma or LCD -that you purchase in 2011 is sure to bemore energy-efficient and produce a bet-ter picture quality than an older version.
Some of the ultra-thin models boastsuper efficiency, requir-ing no more electricity tooperate than a light bulb.Motorized TV wallmounts also offer energyefficiency and quiet op-eration.
As flat screen technologycontinues to advance,it’s certain that TVs willbecome even slimmerand more energy effi-cient. And with super-slim wall mountsavailable, that techno-
logical showpiece of your home decor canstill maintain a low profile when it comesto how much space it takes up in your liv-ing room.
For flat screens and wall mounts,there’s no such thing as too slim

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
Name Div Last Chg
Bank shareholders got a long-awaited gift from the U.S.Federal Reserve on Fridaywhen the central bank clearedthe way for major lenders toincrease their dividends. It wasthe last hurdle left on the pathto recovery for banks and signi-fied a return to health for theindustry. Banks were forced tocut their dividends to preservecash after the financial crisisthat peaked in September 2008,when the industry was proppedup by a $700 billion U.S. gov-ernment bailout package.
The yen backed away from his-toric highs and Japanese sharesrose after the Group of Sevenmajor industrialized nationspromised coordinated interven-tion in currency markets tosupport Japan’s recovery froma catastrophic earthquake andtsunami. The G-7 pledge camea day after the yen soared to anall-time high against the dollar,possibly threatening Japan’sexports and hampering its eco-nomic recovery from theMarch 11 quake.
Cisco Systems Inc., the world’slargest maker of computer net-working gear, said its firstcash dividend will amount to 6cents per share and will be paid
on April 20. The company hassaid since last year that itwould start paying a dividendequating to an annual yield of 1percent to 2 percent, but hadnot specified the amount orprecise timing.
The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. saidit has received regulators’ per-mission to spend $5.65 billion torepurchase Berkshire Hath-away’s preferred shares in thebanking giant. Goldman saidthe Federal Reserve hasapproved its plan to repayWarren Buffett’s company forthe $5 billion investment itmade at the height of the finan-cial crisis in the fall of 2008.Goldman was eager to repayBerkshire because it had beenpaying 10 percent interest onthe preferred shares, whichtranslated into an annualexpense of $500 million.
General Mills Inc. has enteredinto exclusive negotiations tobuy a majority stake in Frenchyogurt company Yoplait, thecompany said. Yoplait is theworld’s second-largest yogurtmaker and is owned by aFrench investment firm andcooperative dairy group. TheWall Street Journal placed thevalue of the deal at $2.2 billion.
