Heavy rains wreak havoc on sewer lines Public library to offer tax assistance

A long month for Thom-asville Public Works got stretched a little further as the National Weather Service issued a winter storm watch for David-son County, adding more hours to a staff that hasn’t had much time off of late.

Two weeks after sub-freezing temperatures caused more than a doz-

en water main breaks within the city, Public Works is preparing for a winter weather event that could bring several inches of snow and sleet to the area.

“We’re going ahead and putting plows and chains on the trucks,” Morgan Huffman, Thomasville public services director, said. “Starting [today] we’re going to start put-ting brine solution out. We’ll be ready for Friday

and Saturday if we have to put any sand out or we have to do any plowing. ”

According to the NWC, cold air is expected to surge into North Caro-lina on Friday where it will meet a storm system from the Gulf of Mexico. It appears the cold air will support precipita-tion in designated storm watch areas. The heaviest precipitation is expected between midnight Friday and Saturday afternoon.

There is the potential for signifi cant snow and ice accumulation, but chances are precipitation will be mainly be in the form of freezing rain and sleet. Huffman said he has heard Thomasville could get several inches of snow, but being the city is on the border be-tween frozen and wet pre-cipitation, only time will tell. Huffman said brine solution is fairly effective

The City of Thomasville re-ported six wastewater spills as a result of Mondays’ heavy rains.

An estimated 168,620 gallons of untreated wastewater spilled into the Yadkin/Pee Dee River Basin from six separate locations in the city with the most occurring at the East Davidson Pump Station on Lake Road. Some 82,000 gallons of wastewater spilled into South Hamby Creek from that location. City Manager Kelly Craver said

Thomasville was one of several municipalities that suffered simi-lar spills from the heavy rains on Monday.

“There was a lot of localized fl ooding in the region,” Craver said. “The rain was very concen-trated over a short period of time. I’ve seen estimates that Thomas-ville got as much as 3.5 inches of rain. That much water causes hy-draulic failure.”

Other spills included 31,000 gallons from a manhole on King Row into a tributary of Jimmy’s Creek, 27,000 gallons from a Con-cord Street manhole into a tribu-

tary of North Hamby Creek, 18,000 gallons from a manhole on High Meadow Road into Jimmy’s Creek, 6,720 gallons from a man-hole on Burke Trail Avenue into Flanks Branch and 3,900 gallons from a manhole at the intersection of Tremont and Franklin streets into a Hanks Branch tributary.

“This was highly unusual for us,” said Craver. “We had spills in every quadrant of the city. Sewer lines are often located close to creeks and water sometimes rises higher than manhole covers. This was pervasive.”

Davidson County Com-missioners continue weighing their options when it comes to assum-ing ownership of the Wil-Cox bridge that crosses the Yadkin River.

At Tuesday’s monthly board meeting, commis-sioners and a represen-tative with the Depart-ment of Transportation dove deeper into discus-sions regarding Davidson County accepting owner-ship of the bridge as part of a way to bring stimulus dollars to the area. Com-missioners asked DOT engineer Pat Ivey several questions regarding the county’s fi nancial respon-sibilities when it comes to maintaining the bridge over the next few years and beyond.

“We don’t want to buy a pig in a poke,” Chair-man Dr. Max Walser said. “We’re trying to make the best decision possible.”

Ivey reiterated that Da-

As the 2010 tax season begins, two county pro-grams are gearing up to help older adults and those low on cash to navi-gate their tax forms.

The Davidson County Public Library System will offer free tax advice and tax form preparation for low to moderate in-come citizens beginning Feb. 8.

“This is something we do at all fi ve libraries in our system,” said Sarah Hudson, as-sistant direc-tor of librar-ies. “It’s just something to help out low and moder-ate income families and individuals.”

The Thom-asville Pub-lic Library will offer as-sistance on Mondays and Wednesdays from 2 to 5 p.m., and four Saturdays – Feb. 13, Feb. 20, March 20 and April 10 – from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. To make appointments at other times, call 474-2690.

Local citizens are wel-come to use the library’s computers to fi ll out tax forms electronically on their own, Hudson said. The library provides free

federal forms, but stateforms are fi ve cents perpage.

“You can contact thestate and get free taxforms, but since we werenot able to get those thisyear, we did have thoseprinted up to help peopleout so they could get themhere,” Hudson said. “Ifthere are any other formsthey can’t get, we will as-sist them here to printthem off the internet.”

Free tax advice and taxform preparation is alsoavailable for senior citi-zens through the David-son County Departmentof Senior Services’ Se-nior Dynamics program,in partnership with Da-vidson County Tax Coali-tion.

The Thomasville Se-nior Center,211 W. Colo-nial Drive,will providea s s i s t a n c efrom 9 a.m.to 1 p.m.M o n d a y sand Fridaysb e g i n n i n gFeb. 1 and atthe Lexing-ton SeniorCenter, 106Alma OwensDrive, from 9a.m. to 1 p.m.Wednesdays

and Fridays beginningFeb. 3. Appointments arerequired. To schedule anappointment, call 474-2754 for Thomasville or242-2290 for Lexington.

FOCUS

Why invest? You choose

In the last three col-umns, we have explored the fi rst three Choice Points panels in the PaperRoom System. GOALS, ORIGINS and TOP TEN experiences are the headliners, each designed to offer a unique perspective on where you’ve been and where you’re headed.

Before we move on to yet another PRS panel, let’s pause in the middle to consider our own WHY? Why invest time, money and energy — precious resources to be sure — to con-sider and complete this structured inquiry? The answer could be approached from many angles, but let’s go with three for three:

Leadership Development

Pick up a book on leadership, take a class, or attend a webinar. You’d be hard pressed to move through it without some mention of learning more about yourself and human behavior. Consider this quote from leadership expert Roger Pearman:

“Leadership is about how we envision the next step, motivate others to move in that direction, and build processes that promote future leadership activities and development. This defi nition applies to the mailroom clerk who sees a better way and to the CEO who envisions new products: leadership is

about who we are in a given time and place, not about position or title.”

Clearly visioning, goal-setting, and moti-vating emerge in this inclusive defi nition. And understanding ‘who and where we are’ undergirds it all. Effective leaders continually rediscover and redefi ne themselves to respond to the rapid change taking place all around them. The PRS offers an exact process to work with inexact, but authentic human data.

Career DevelopmentHere’s a seminal quote

from Judith Grutter in Making it in Today’s Organizations, pub-lished by Consulting Psychologist’s Press:

“Career professionals have long ago agreed that the clients who benefi t the most from career development assistance are those who know what they are all about and what their purpose is in life, and who are willing to search for clarity by answering the WHO, WHAT, WHERE, and WHY questions ...”

The WHO in this con-text refers to the peren-nial “Who am I?” ques-tion. WHAT references the kind of work that one actually wants to do, just as WHERE explores the kind of place (location, environment) one wants to do it. The WHY refers to the deep, internal values that ultimately drive our decision mak-ing. The PRS touches each and every one of these critical areas of self identifi cation.

Spiritual Development

In the New York Times bestseller, Care of the Soul Thomas Moore talks about the cultivation of depth and sacredness in everyday life. He expresses it this way:

“Fulfi lling work, rewarding relationships, personal power, and re-lief from symptoms are all gifts of the soul. ..We

live in a time of deep division, in which mind is separated from body and spirituality is at odds with materialism. But how do we get out of this split? We can’t just ‘think’ ourselves through it, because thinking itself is part of the problem. What we need is a way out of dualistic attitudes. We need a third possibility and that third is soul.”

To soulfully examine life includes understand-ing one’s own story. As faith is strengthened through ancient and con-temporary story, one’s spiritual journey is also supported by allowing your personal story to be told. Beyond just ‘think-ing,’ utilizing the Paper-Room system allows one to see and experience fresh, new interpreta-tions of past, present and future. As Thomas Moore puts it, “storytelling is an excellent way to take care of the soul” and the PRS is an excellent way to tell your story.

WHY pursue per-sonal, professional growth using the Pa-perRoom System?

YOU choose.

vidson County would receive $2.5 mil-lion from the DOT for improvements to the bridge until the Interstate 85 project is completed. Ivey said annual mainte-nance costs for the Wil-Cox bridge usu-ally cost around $137,000 a year. Uncer-tainty about just how long the project will take and whether or not stimulus money will be involved seem to be the biggest questions.

“Let’s say we get the bridge two years from now, and the amount of work it needs costs $2.8 million,” said commis-sioner Larry Potts. “What if we don’t get the bridge in two years? What if it’s fi ve years? Say all this work that the state’s going to do costs $2 million. That leaves us with $500,000 to keep it up. If costs $137,000 a year, after three years, we’re broke.”

Ivey said the DOT would maintain the bridge until any ownership trans-fer is completed. Plans are to eliminate vehicle traffi c on the bridge, turning it into a mostly walking, biking and horse trail. The absence of vehicle traffi c will decrease annual wear and tear. The Wil-Cox bridge is part of a district vying for historic recognition and would have been demolished during construction of the new I-85 structure. Demolishing the bridge would delay construction and may jeopardize the state getting a share of stimulus money needed for the $300 million project.

“It might not be that much everyyear,” Ivey said of the $137,000 mainte-nance cost. “You may go several yearswithout spending a dime on it, but thensomething will need a repair. I willguarantee you it will be in good condi-tion when ownership is transferred.”

No action was taken by commission-ers. Ivey said he would like to know of adecision by March 1. Political watchdogBarney Hill spoke out against the idea,saying that if Rowan County Commis-sioners wanted no part of the deal thenwhy should Davidson County.

“I oppose your ownership of the Wil-Cox bridge,” said Hill. “The commis-sioners who sit in your seats in 2037 willspeak of the bridge deal of 2010 the wayyou speak of the post offi ce deal of 1983.I know you are salivating over the $2.5million, but look at all the baggage thatcomes with it.”

In other news:• Commissioners approved a request to

participate in a statewide library shar-ing program. Ruth Ann Copley, directorof the Davidson County Public Library,said the program will allow librariesacross the state to share owned bookswith other libraries in the system. TheNorth Carolina Shared library CatalogProject will give patrons access to booksanywhere in North Carolina via a state-wide card. Books can be either sent tothe local library for $2 or a person cancheck out a book while out of town.

“If things start to get slick, we’ll put sand down in problem areas,” said Huffman. “I understand Friday evening and Sat-urday morning will be

the worst of it. It just de-pends on if it’s frozen or wet.”

Huffman said Public Works will concentrate on main thorough fares due to traffi c volume and not as much on second-ary roads. Huffman said hopes are that different crews will be used to han-dle the storm other than ones who worked on the

water main breaks. A to-tal of 19 workers will be on hand for the storm.

“I can’t say enough good things about those guys,” said Huffman. “They have really, really put in the time.”

WEATHERFrom page 1

I won’t try to kid you into thinking I’m some kind of organizational expert. I am the most disorganized person ever. My professional of-fi ce is a mess. My home, remarkably, appears to be orderly, as long as you don’t open a cupboard, drawer or closet. Being disorganized steals my time, energy and money. I buy things I have already because I can’t fi nd them, or I spend too much time looking for things I need. That is going to stop. I am declaring before each and every one of you, my dear readers, that this is my year to get organized.

I have consulted several professional resources and done a lot of thinking, and I’ve come up with the following steps I will take to achieve my goal.

Step 1. Commitment. I’ve tried to get orga-nized before, but I never have been fully commit-ted. I trust that making my commitment open and public will make all the difference. Do you hear me? I am go-ing to get organized.

Step 2. Identify the space. Lumping my offi ce and home into a single organizational project is overwhelming. To over-come this, I have divided

the task into 12 projects, or spaces, one per month in 2010. My home studio — where I write, sew, knit, craft and basically create things — is a sight to behold. It is huge and fi lled to capacity. Mark it “Project No. 1.”

Step 3. Identify recipi-ents. I am committed to getting rid of every-thing that I do not use on a regular basis or that I do not fi nd to be incredibly beautiful.

But I know myself. I will not be able to throw away good things that fi t those criteria. Before I get started, I need to identify charitable orga-nizations, selling sites, friends or family mem-bers who will appreciate receiving everything that doesn’t make the cut.

Step 4. Three contain-ers. I have labeled these boxes “Keep,” “Trash” and “Give.” That seems simple enough, but to make sure, I did a practice run on the desk in my home studio. Out of six drawers, I ended up with seven things in the “Keep” box and zero

to give away, and every-thing else fi lled the trash container to overfl owing. My desk is clean and nearly empty. The three-container plan worked.

Step 5. A place for ev-erything. I don’t practice it, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know this secret for being organized: There should be a place for everything and every-thing in its place. Once I have identifi ed what I will keep in each project space, I am determined to identify a specifi c place for each thing I own. Then I’ll get into the habit of returning things to their places.

I have cut out a big job for myself in the com-ing year. Think I can do it? I do. And I plan to take pictures to prove it. I’ll keep you posted!

Steps to get organizedBY MARY HUNTSyndicated Columnist

Gift brings United Way closer to reaching campaign goal

The United Way of Davidson County is pleased to announce that it has re-ceived a gift of $150,000 gift from Tal-madge and Ian Silversides that will bring the organization closer to its 2009-2010 Campaign Goal.

Dr. Lee Jessup, President of the Unit-ed Way stated, “A week ago, we were still standing right at $1.7 million dollars to-wards our $2 million dollar goal. This extraordinary donation by Talmadge and Ian Silversides of $150,000 means that we are standing at $1.85 million dol-lars with $150,000 to go before we reach goal.”

The United Way Board encourages do-

nors who have not yet made a pledge to consider a gift to the United Way’s Cam-paign so programs run by 31 human service agencies in Davidson County will not have to be cut quite as deeply.

Josef Walker, Campaign Chair, said, “The Silversides have demonstrated great compassion with this gift. They have done so much for our community already, and now, many of the boys, girls, men, and women who have spe-cial needs will have those needs met by these 31 United Way-funded agencies right here in our community.”

Those who would like to participate in this year’s Campaign may send a check to: The United Way of Davidson County, P.O. Box 492, Lexington, NC 27293.

CBS will air an ad during the Super Bowl in which col-lege football star Tim Tebow and his mother, Pam Tebow, discuss her decision not to have an abortion despite doctors’ advice to do so. The news is creating precisely the stir that its sponsor, the Christian conservative group Focus on the Family, was almost certainly hoping for. Women’s groups have called on CBS not to air the ad, arguing that the Super Bowl is no place for one of the most divisive issues in politics. CBS report-edly has approved the script and plans to run the ad.

The irony is that the Tebow story has absolutely noth-ing to do with the question a woman with an unwanted pregnancy faces. Pam Tebow wanted to have her fi fth child, but had become ill during a trip to the Philip-pines. It was on that basis that doctors recommended an abortion. She ignored them, mother and baby came through just fi ne, and he went on to win the Heis-man trophy. God bless.

What does that have to do

with the situation facing a teenage girl pregnant with a child she cannot raise, or a mother who is told that her much-wanted child has a chromosomal condition that is inconsistent with life? What does it have to do with a rape or incest victim and her right not to carry the child of her abuser?

I know plenty of stories like the Tebows’. Some of them end happily. Some do not. Few things are as awful as being told that the child you are carrying may not, or will not, live. Sometimes doctors are wrong, and sometimes they aren’t. Are the Tebows really telling American women to ignore their doctors’ advice, even when that advice is based on the best medical infor-mation? Are they telling women that they should risk their lives rather than have an abortion? Even the dissenters to Roe v. Wade would not go so far.

The news that teenage pregnancies are up for the fi rst time in years is what we should all be concerned about, working on, thinking about. No one is for abor-tion, at least not anyone who should be taken seriously. I have never met a woman who had an abortion who viewed it as anything other than a painful, diffi cult and often heartbreaking decision, particularly when the abor-tion is the result of medical advice that the woman can-not sustain the pregnancy or the baby will not survive.

Thankfully, in the decades since Pam Tebow’s preg-nancy, diagnostic techniques

have improved, allowing doctors to give better advice. Hopefully today, her doc-tors would have been able to reassure her that both she and the baby would be fi ne, and abortion would not even have been an issue.

Given that, the only con-nection between the Tebow story and the real abor-tion debate is its ability to make women who have made the painful choice of abortion feel bad. This is emotional manipula-tion, pure and simple.

The not so subtle implica-tion is that the fetus you aborted would have grown upto be some kind of superstar. How ridiculous. And frankly, how insulting. Without an athletic gene in my body, I can certainly say that I never expected any child of mine to win a Heisman. Like most mothers, I prayed only that they would be healthy. The suggestion that abortion is in any way connected to the value or the potential talents of the baby-to-be is so offen-sive that it is hard to believe Focus on the Family doesn’t see the distorted underside of their own advertisement.

So be it. I might go to the bathroom during that ad or make popcorn. Focus on the Family is getting at-tention and will get more. But it is doing so by run-ning an ad that is decep-tive and ultimately cruel.

Tax credits? Spending freezes? Defi cit commissions? The president is starting to sound a lot like one of those fi scal he-devils the Demo-crats have been warning the nation about for years.

Not to worry, true believers, Barack Obama only sounds as if he’s making sense. The proposed three-year freeze sham accounts for less than a measly one-sixth of the federal budget, and the defi cit panel already has been voted down in the Senate.

But sounding like you mean it is half the battle — as the Republican Party has learned over the past 15 years. And one of the ma-jor political missteps of the Obama administration has been confusing the agenda of the progressive left with that of the American electorate.

A new poll by the Pew Re-search Center for the People & the Press, for example, fi nds that more than 80 percent of adults believe that jobs and the economy should be the two top priorities of Washing-ton — issues that were used to further the administration’s no-serious-crisis-left-behind project and little else.

To my astonishment, no-where in the Pew poll could I fi nd the words “Copenhagen,” “worldwide presidential apol-ogy tour,” “Chicago Olympic bid,” “social justice,” “bank-ers make too much dough” or even “bail out GM; America needs the Acadia.” Still, these subjects were a matter of considerable urgency and expended political capital in Washington this year.

Perhaps it’s self-delusion. After all, the number of times Obama has affi xed the word “urgent” to his own agenda is unquantifi able. Cap and trade was “urgent.” On the campaign trail, in fact, Obama claimed that “few challenges facing America ... are more urgent than com-bating climate change.”

And this is true, if by “few” the president means 20 other issues, as the Pew

poll puts global warming 21st on the urgent policy list — or, in other words, last.

Just as “urgent action” was needed to pass the govern-ment stimulus plan to bump unemployment to a more numerically manageable 10 percent, the rising cost of health care — an important is-sue once the president decides to address it — was Wash-ington’s responsibility to fi x because it was a “longstand-ing and urgent problem.”

According to Pew, health care reform falls in behind “economy,” “jobs,” “terror-ism,” “education,” “defi cit reduction,” “Medicare,” “Social Security” and so on. All of them urgent.

You will, almost certainly, not be surprised to learn that a defi cit reduction commis-sion, according to the presi-dent, is “urgent,” as the coun-try faces a serious fi scal crisis, all of which, even a year later, is the Bush administration’s fault because it failed “to pay for new policies.”

One empathizes. Yet this grievance would hold more water if the Obama admin-istration hadn’t spent more than any presidential admin-istration in history has in its fi rst year. Let’s also remember that this dubious feat was accomplished without pass-ing two of the most expen-sive pieces of legislative items on the statist menu.

Now, with the shadow of Scott Brown descending on D.C., we’re in for a rhetori-cal recalibration. Obama will sound like an ardent fi scal conservative while simultane-ously ratcheting up populist anger regarding banks, risk, profi ts and make-believe unfettered capitalism.

Do Americans feel an urgent need to stick it to the investor class? Financial regulations rank as the 15th-most impor-tant concern, behind “helping the poor,” “moral decline” and “crime.” So I doubt it. But we’ll see what happens.

Yet it is diffi cult to deny that after only one year in power, the administration has been forced to admit its vision of economic intervention has been soundly rejected. All one needs to do is listen.

How do we pray when humans lose everything; with barely anything to hold on to; except their suffering body. With faith and hope gone to many, prayers to them is not even an option.

How we, as a land of plenty, respond to human beings of another coun-try and another faith in need. As we live with our own needs met and many live a life of luxury responds to tragedy to those who need help, even across the world.

I don’t know the an-swer to these many ques-tions. I’m not sure that I know how to pray for the country of Haiti and its people. These multitudes of poor, suffering people are helpless. They feel that there is nothing left to live for. About the only thing that I can suggest is to listen to our hearts of compassion.

Thank God we are a fortunate people. Pray as you feel led and pray for our faithful military troops and organiza-tions as they risk their health and lives to help their fellow man.

There will be some Haitians with solid faith and convictions. They try to survive and carry on. Perhaps neighbors from other towns will come to their aid; offer-ing their help. In time to come, survival will overcome these unfor-tunate nightmares of grief through the land.

We are Americans, the nation that the world looks up to. May God continue his mercy and grace on us.

Lexington man arrested for murder

Davidson County Sher-iff ’s Offi ce arrested a Lexington man for alleg-edly stabbing a woman to death in the Tyro Com-munity.

Hank Wade Lanier, 38, of 3799 Highway 150 South, Lot 22, is charged with one count of mur-der after deputies found a female dead in the West Park Mobile Home Park early Tuesday morning. Police identifi ed the vic-tim as 36-year-old Kathy Anne Seymour from King, North Carolina.

“They weren’t living together,” Sheriff David Grice said. “It was more of a boyfriend, girlfriend kind of relationship. We’re still continuing to investigate.”

According to a DCSO

press release, dep-uties responded to a report of an un-known female dead at 5:52 a.m. Tues-day morning at Lanier’s address. Deputies arrived and discovered Seymour dead from stab wounds to her body. Lanier made the call to 911 and was present at the scene when deputies arrived.

Detectives and a Crime Scene Unit began investi-gating and found enough evidence to obtain a war-rant for arrest for Lanier. At 6:10 p.m., Lanier was

taken into custody for one count of murder and placed in the Davidson County Jail un-der no bond. He is scheduled to ap-pear in Davidson County District Court. on Jan. 27.

“We conducted an extensive crime scene investigation Tuesday,” said Grice. “She suf-fered from multiple stab wounds.”

Seymour’s body was sent to the state Medical

Examiner’s Offi ce in Cha-pel Hill for an autopsy to determine the precise cause of death. Lanier was taken to Wake Forest University Baptist Medi-cal Center for minor in-juries prior to his arrest, but Grice didn’t specify how the suspect received those injuries. Grice also didn’t want to comment on the type of weapon used in the crime.

Storm pounds UNC, 101-69LEXINGTON — No, the

print is not blurry today. Davidson County Com-

munity College domi-nated in a l m o s t e v e r y facet of the game, b l o w i n g away the U n i v e r -sity of N o r t h Carolina j u n i o r

varsity 101-69 Wednes-day in a non-conference showdown.

DCCC got 29 points from Rico Geter and 24 more from Justin Glover to avenge an earlier loss to the Tar Heels.

“I told our guys I fi g-ured it would be a war to the end,” said Storm head coach Matt Ridge. “I knew we were as tal-ented as them, but to beat a well-coached team like that speaks volumes for our program.”

The game went back and forth for the fi rst nine minutes until DCCC started to make its move. Kimani Hunt scored on a back-door lob from Robbie Rives to set off a 9-0 Storm run. Patrick Crouch scored on a fl oat-er to break up the streak, so the Storm decided they would try it again.

This time it was just a 6-0 run, but when it ended, the Storm found them-selves with a surprising 41-23 lead with 3:39 still left in the half.

Ford Tanner broke it up this time for UNC with a basket in the paint and a pair of free throws at the line, but Davidson ended the 20 minutes with eight more unanswered points to stun the guests, lead-ing 49-27.

The halftime break could not have come at a better time for Carolina, giving them a chance to regroup and see if things could change. Unfortu-nately, things would get much worse for the Tar

Heels.The DCCC train only

stopped to refuel, as the Storm made sure there would be no comeback for the Tar Heels, who were on the road for the fi rst and only time this season.

Two baskets by UNC opened up the fi nal half, aggravating Ridge who called for time. The

timeout was effective, as DCCC went crazy over the next four minutes and change.

A 49-31 lead went to 64-32, as DCCC was almost perfect on the offensive end while UNC had trou-ble making anything fall on their end. Hunt start-ed the monster run with a 3-pointer and the rout was on.

DCCC kept creeping closer to the century mark, and Derrick Mayo fi nished off the memo-rable night laying the ball in with four seconds left to put the Storm over 100.

“It feels really good,” Ridge said. “We hope when we win the region-als it will feel even better.

Playing on the road

turned out to be too toughof a challenge for the TarHeels.

“I am not sure if theylet it affect them, but allof the credit needs to goto Davidson County,”UNC head coach JerodHaase said. “They wereabsolutely fantastic.”

Ledford girls shred Vikings for MPC win

WALLBURG — A battle for fi rst place in the Mid-Piedmont 3-A Conference Tuesday evening turned into a dream night for one team, while the other left the gymnasium embarrassed.

Ledford’s Lady Panthers had a four-minute stretch in the second quarter that let North Forsyth close within seven, but it was all LHS after that. Ledford blitzed the Lady Vikings 47-7 to the end, showing complete domination to win 73-26.

Chelsea Freeman had a sound effort scoring 23 points to lead the 10-7, 4-1 Pan-thers. Taylor Ballard chipped in 12 points on four 3-pointers.

RALEIGH — A couple of days ago, North Caro-lina coach Roy Williams said the Tar Heels could not feel sorry for them-selves after losing four of the past fi ve and that at some point, they needed to settle down and play better.

That sometime hap-pened to be Tuesday.

After losing three straight games for the fi rst time in the Williams era to drop near the bot-tom in the ACC, the Tar Heels got contributions from every player on the court for a 77-63 vic-tory over N.C. State at the RBC Center to get back in the win column.

The Tar Heels (13-7, 2-3 ACC) improve to 2-5 away from the Smith Center but earned their fi rst true road win, since their vic-tory over Ohio State was on a neutral court.

“It’s a bigtime relief,” Thompson said. “When we lose, it feels like the world is going to end and I think no one feels it worse than coach and ourselves. And to come here, and State is a tough environment and they’re a good team, so to come here and get a road win, that this team really needs right now is really big for this team.”

Thompson set the tone for the Tar Heels, as

his aggressive play re-sulted in a team-high 20 points, the fi rst time he has reached that level of scoring since a win over Nevada on Nov. 29.

But three other play-ers also reached double fi gures, as Larry Drew II tied his career-high 18 points, freshman Dexter Strickland added 14 and Ed Davis — who started despite being listed as “very questionable” with a left ankle sprain — chipped in 12 points and a team-high nine re-bounds.

“We looked like a team tonight, huh?” Thomp-son said. “So that feels good when you see ev-eryone came in and did something real good for this team. … It was just a complete team win, and that’s what we need.”

The Tar Heels led at halftime 37-33, but the Wolfpack (13-8, 2-5) opened the second half on a 10-1 run, with Javier Gonzalez scoring eight of his 19 points during the stretch to go ahead.

But then Drew hit a 3-pointer to kickstart a 13-0 UNC run, which saw almost every UNC player contribute. Freshman John Henson had three huge blocks, Strickland converted a fastbreak layup, freshman Travis Wear recorded two steals and Thompson stole the ball at midcourt and dribbled to the basket for

a dunk to put his team up 51-43.

“At times, when were kind of going back and forth and maybe not be-ing exactly where we wanted, ... for [Thomp-son] to make those big types of plays was just a big morale booster,” UNC senior Marcus Ginyard said. “It really gives us a lot of energy out there to get going.”

A layup by Tracy Smith, the fi rst Wolfpack fi eld goal in nine min-utes, cut the lead to six after Thompson’s dunk. But that was as close as N.C. State would get the rest of the way.

The Wolfpack could not seem to make a shot in the second half, shooting 29 percent in the period, while the Tar Heels were hitting a blistering 57.7 percent. Smith led the Wolfpack with 20 points.

“They controlled the game,” N.C. State coach Sidney Lowe said. “They just outplayed us and were better than us to-night.”

At the start of the game, it looked like it would go down to the

wire and both teams went back and forth. The score was tied at 14 half-way through the fi rst, but then the Tar Heels went on a 9-0 run, includ-ing two rebounds and buckets off missed free throws by Thompson, to create some breathing room.

Yet the Wolfpack kept chipping away, and Ja-vier Gonzalez hit back-to-back 3-pointers to cut the score to 34-31 with 1:18 remaining in the half. UNC’s Larry Drew II responded with a 3-pointer, but Gonzalez hit a jumper on the other end to put the score at 37-33 at the break.

“We went a long time [at practice] on Saturday and Sunday,” Williams said. “I tried to make it as competitive as it can be, and I wasn’t very nice to them and they answered. They really did.

“But I think the tough-ness was there. I think that we were better de-fensively. Guys, every-body understand, it looks so much better when the ball goes in and we made some shots, too.”

Our Neighbor to the North

Hello, Vancouver! Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, is the host city for this year’s Winter Olympics. The city sits between the Pacific Ocean and the snow-capped Coast Mountains in the southwest corner of Canada. Known for its mild climate, Vancouver is one of the few places where you can ski in the morning and sail in the afternoon. Visitors to the Olympics will find lots of things to see and do when they’re not attending one of the competitions. The Mini Page learned about some famous sites in and around Vancouver and Whistler, which is about 75 miles north of Vancouver.BC Place The Opening and Closing Ceremonies for the Winter Games will take place in BC Place in downtown Vancouver. Stanley Park Stanley Park is a huge park within walking distance of downtown. The Vancouver Aquarium is in the park. The star attractions there are Beluga whales.

Cypress Mountain Cypress Mountain is the official Olympic venue for freestyle skiing and snowboarding competition. It’s in West Vancouver, 30 minutes from downtown. After the Games, it will go back to being one of the most popular local skiing areas for alpine and cross-country skiing.

Granville Island Granville Island is famous for its huge indoor farmers’ market, shops, street performers and artist studios. A Kids Market features books, games, toys and clothes just for kids.

Capilano Suspension Bridge This 450-foot-long walking bridge crosses the Capilano River. Smaller bridges on the other side make up the Treetops Adventure, where you can walk from one giant Douglas fir to another. Some of the bridges are as high as 100 feet abovethe forest floor.

BC Place looks like a big pillow from above. The arena can seat 55,000 spectators. It will be the site for each night’s Victory Ceremony, where athletes receive their medals.

Get to Know British Columbia Vancouver and Whistler are both in British Columbia, one of Canada’s 10 provinces. About 4.4 million people live in B.C., as Canadians call it. The landscapes include huge forests, ocean beaches, mountains and ranchlands.First settlers About 300,000 Native Americans lived in the area when Capt. James Cook, a British explorer, landed

Victoria, named for England’s queen, grew to become the city of Victoria, now the capital of the province. The discovery of gold in the 1860s brought many settlers to the area. Today, the main industries are the manufacturing of wood and paper products, food processing, construction and tourism.

Victoria Victoria, located on Vancouver Island, seems like a British city. People ride on double-decker buses and have afternoon tea at a fancy hotel.

Vancouver Island Across the Strait of Georgia from the city of Vancouver is Vancouver Island, the largest island off the west coast of North America. Much of the island is protected parkland. Whale watching, birding and fishing are popular activities for visitors. The island attracts artists and craftspeople who sell their work in shops and studios.

Butchart Gardens near Victoria is world-famous. It attracts more than 1 million visitors each year to see the colorful displays.The gardens were started in 1904 and display about 700 varieties of plants.

The Parliament Building in Victoria has beautiful grounds. A statue of Queen Victoria stands outside the building.

Welcome to Whistler

The Mini Page StaffBetty Debnam - Founding Editor and Editor at Large Lisa Tarry - Managing Editor Lucy Lien - Associate Editor Wendy Daley - Artist

Whistler, a two-hour drive north of Vancouver, is the site for more Olympic competitions. Whistler was first inhabited by native people called the Coast Salish (SAY-lish). Later, loggers, miners and trappers settled in the area. They

because of the shrill sound made by marmots (MAR-mutts), furry little rodents that live among the rocks. In the early 1900s, tourists began coming to the area to fish in Alta Lake. The arrival of the railroad in the 1920s brought more visitors. Whistler’s first ski lifts were opened in 1966. Now Whistler and a neighboring mountain, Blackcomb, make up one of the largest ski and snowboard areas in North America. Popular summer activities include hiking, rafting, biking and golf.

Whistler Sliding Centre The Whistler Sliding Centre is the venue for luge, bobsled and skeleton. All three sliding events grew out of using a sled or toboggan (tuh-BOG-ehn), a light wooden platform on runners, to slide on snow or ice. Using sleds for travel or fun is a practice hundreds of years old.

Whistler Creekside Whistler Creekside is the venue for alpine skiing, which includes downhill, slalom, giant slalom, super-G (a combination of downhill and giant slalom) and super combined (one downhill run and one slalom run).

Ilanaaq (ih-lah-nawk) is the mascot of the 2010 Olympics. This statue is on Whistler Mountain. Ilanaaq means “friend.”

Eri Alpine skiing takes its name

from the Alps, a mountain range in Europe. The sport became popular in the early 20th century when ski lifts were invented.

Whistler Olympic Park Whistler Olympic Park is the venue for cross-country skiing, biathlon (shooting and cross-country skiing), ski jumping and Nordic combined (cross-country skiing and ski jumping).

Next week, The Mini Page lets readers know what to expect at the Olympic Games.


Supersport: Jessica McDonaldHeight: 6-0 Birthdate: 2-28-88 Hometown: Glendale, Ariz. Years from now, if people want to know what Jessica McDonald looked like on a soccer field, they can pull out 2009 highlights of the NCAA Women’s Cup. She will be there, shown scoring the lone goal in a 1-0 win over Stanford and helping the University of North Carolina

women’s soccer team gain their 21st national championship. The speedy forward arrived last year after a stint in junior college, led UNC in assists, and helped the Tar Heels claim the 2008 national crown. McDonald is more than a skilled soccer player. She is an all-around athlete who also played basketball and ran track at Phoenix Junior College. One year she led all junior colleges in rebounding and ranked among the top 30 scorers. She also made All-America as an 800-meter sprinter. Outside of sports, McDonald’s interests include African-American studies, which happens to be her major.

ter, building a 22-4 lead. Ballard knocked down three of her trifectas in the quarter, with the rest of the team hitting just about anything it threw up at the basket.

“I don’t know if we have shot that well in 10 years,” said LHS coach John Ralls. “The fi rst quarter we shot the ball as well as we have in a long time.”

The only time Ledford did not have control was to start the second quar-ter. North Forsyth scored 15 of the fi rst 19 points in the frame, making it a game at 26-19. Kayla Ad-ams was the catalyst in the comeback, sinking a trio of 3s.

“We would be right there and she would just take it and knock it in,” Ralls said.

Ledford methodical-ly drove forward from there, accounting for the fi nal 10 points in the half to lead 36-19.

Freeman showed her skill and ballhandling in the second half, scoring 16 points by stealing the ball away and hustling on every play. Ledford built up a 65-22 advan-tage, playing tough de-fense as the Vikings went without a bucket for over two quarters.

Sydnei Rosenbalm end-ed the drought with 4:06 to play on a runner in the lane, accounting for the only North Forsyth fi eld goal in the second half.

“We played pretty well defensively,” said Ralls. “Everybody was fl ying around and staying in front with good ball pres-sure.”

Adams scored 11 points for the Vikings, who fal-tered to 8-9 this season.

league play.Ledford trailed 18-8 af-

ter one quarter and were on the verge of being blown out as the Vikings went ahead by two more to start the second. The lead would stay around 10 until just under three minutes left, when the Panthers took a bite out of the defi cit. Jonathan Reid leaned in for the fi rst basket as Dylan Smith and Nathan Parks

followed with hoops of their own in the lane. Smith made a nifty spin move shortly after, and just like that the lead had shrunk to 26-24.

Allen Hauser hit one of his six 3s to silence the spurt, but Smith worked in the post again to keep Ledford down by just three at intermission.

“We made a nice run,” said LHS coach Scott Dal-ton. “Defensively, we re-ally got after it and that created some momentum for us. We got some easy buckets and gained some confi dence.”

Dalton stuck with the same fi ve that made the run to start the second half, but the elevated play had diminished. North began to quicken the pace and the shots started fall-ing frequently. A fl urry of action put the guests up eight, and it would get much worse for Ledford as time progressed. Haus-er hit two more of his 3s and Thomasville transfer C.J. Campbell slammed home a one-handed jam that increased the advan-tage to 38-27. The Vikings maintained a 15-point edge at the end of three quarters.

“We didn’t go in and make any adjustments [at the half],” said Viking coach Sean Vestal. “We just continued to do what we were doing and push-ing the basketball. They made a huge run and I was proud of the way

my guys came out in that third quarter.”

North continued to ex-pand its lead and Hauser continued to make 3s. He fi nished the night 6-of-7 from the fi eld, missing only the fi nal 3-pointer he shot.

“He made the comment before the game, ‘Coach, I do not think I can miss tonight.’” said Vestal. “That one he missed I thought it was going in.”

Dalton was not too fond of the show Hauser and company was displaying.

“We gave some really good shooters a lot of un-contested shots,” he said. “That disappoints me be-cause I didn’t think we fought real hard.”

Hauser had 20 points in the contest and Campbell added 15. Smith and Dan-iel Lawson added 15 and 11 for the Panthers.

AREA NEWS

LEXINGTON – With the recent cold snap and another one in the long range forecast, many resi-dents are eager for spring to arrive in the Piedmont of North Carolina.

That question will be answered — at least in fun — on Feb. 2, when GroundHawg’s Day is cel-ebrated in Uptown Lex-ington.

Lexington’s annual event began in 2005 when Uptown Lexington, Inc. added a twist to Punx-sutawney, Pennsylvania’s traditional celebration of Candlemas, the celebra-tion of the mid-point be-tween winter and spring.

According to tradi-tion, if on this day it is fair, bright and sunny so that an animal can cast its shadow, it is an omen winter will last six more weeks. However, if the day is cloudy and shad-owless, it is a sign of spring’s arrival.

Of course, in Lexing-ton, instead of using a groundhog, the event pays tribute to the local barbecue heritage and the forecast is predicted instead by a pig.

On Tuesday, Feb. 2, Up-town Lexington, Inc. will continue this young com-munity event with the celebration of the 6th An-nual GroundHawg’s Day. Lil’ Bit,” a pot bellied pig will once again emerge to predict if March will bring spring or if winter will last a little longer.

The public is invited to join in the celebration on the square in Historic Uptown Lexington where volunteers will ask at-tendees when they think spring will arrive. Also on hand to lend an inter-pretation of long range forecasts will be Sid Proc-tor, an amateur weather forecaster and owner of Weathervane Winery.

The festivities begin just past sunrise around 7:35 a.m. About 7:45 a.m., “Lil’ Bit” will come out to see if she can see her shadow. Welcomed by cheers from the Lex-ington Senior High Cheerleaders, Offi cial GroundHawg’s Day rep-resentatives, donned in tails provided by Bruce’s Tuxedo, will lead the cele-bration. Mayor Pro-Tem, Larry Beck, the voice of “Lil’ Bit” since 2005, with assistance from Lexing-ton Mayor John Walser and Davidson County Commissioner Chair-man, Dr. Max Walser will ‘announce’ her weather forecast. Lil’ Bit’s own-ers Bob and Nancy Lent, and their son Tommy, will also be present at the morning celebration, as the offi cial, “groundhawg handlers”.

The image of Lil’ Bit featured on all publicity materials was developed especially for Ground-Hawg’s Day by Lexington resident and artist Chip Holton.

For more information about the 6th Annual GroundHawg’s Day, con-tact Uptown Lexington, Inc. at 249-0383.
