DEMOCRATIC PARTY 

MEETING 

The Granville County

its monthly meeting on 

February 28 from 6:30 pm to 

8:00 pm at the South 

Granville Public Library, 

1547 South Campus Drive, 

Creedmoor, NC. 

A site plan for a 

proposed Dollar General 

store to be located in Stem 

was presented at a 

regular Stem Town Board 

meeting Monday night. 

George C. Venters, Jr., 

representing Vanguard 

Property Group, a 

Raleigh firm that 

develops stores for Dollar 

General and other 

companies, showed Stem 

commissioners a site plan 

and aerial view. The site 

is located within the Stem 

Town Limits (see 

illustration on page 7a). 

Venters said it would 

likely take about 90 days 

to put up the building, 

and he said the 

permitting process could 

be finished in the 

summer. The target date 

for the store opening is 

October 1. 

The Stem Dollar 

General will be like the 

one in Creedmoor, which 

is located at 1605 NC 

Highway 56, Venters said. 

The company typically 

signs 15-year leases, he 

said. 

Stem currently has no 

zoning ordinance, but 

Venters said the Dollar 

General store will be 

constructed to comply 

with the requirements of 

a draft zoning ordinance 

that the town is expected 

to adopt soon. A privacy 

fence will be put up to 

separate the site from 

adjoining residential 

property. 

The site will also 

include a storm water 

management pond. “This 

project creates less runoff 

than the raw site 

produces now,” Venters 

said. 

He also said that 

Dollar General has 10,000 

stores and sells 10,000 

items, including its own 

brand and name-brand 

items. The company has 

the “purchasing power to 

sell items at a lower price 

than some other stores 

can,” Venters said. 

The Dollar General 

corporate headquarters, 

which the company calls 

the Store Support Center, 

is located in 

Goodlettsville, TN, 16 

miles north of Nashville. 

The stores are typically 

located in small shopping 

plazas or strip malls in 

local neighborhoods. 

In recent years, the 

chain has started building 

more stand-alone stores, 

typically in areas not

Commissioners for their contribution to the annual Martin

shows Stem Town Board members a site plan for the new 

Dollar General store that is expected to be opened in Stem by 

October 1. The presentation was made at a regular board 


served by another general 

merchandise retailer. 

Sometimes stores are 

located within a few city 

blocks of each other. 

Dollar General offers 

both name brand and 

generic merchandise in 

the same store. Off-brand 

goods and closeouts of 

name-brand items are 

often located on the same 

shelf. 

Even though “dollar” 

is included in the store’s 

name, Dollar General is 

not a dollar store. Most of 

the merchandise is priced 

at more than a dollar. 

Dollar General uses 

its acronym, the letters 

“DG,” as a brand for 

inexpensive household 

products sold through its 

stores. DG is also the 

company’s New York 

Stock Exchange ticker 

symbol. 

Stem Thanked By 

HRC 

Also at the meeting, 

John Wimbush of Butner, 

the vice-chairman of the 

Granville County Human 

Relations Commission, 

appeared on behalf of the 

commission, to thank the 

Stem Town Board for 

their contribution to the 

Annual Martin Luther 

King Day Breakfast held 

recently in Oxford. 

He also said that the 

commission is available to 

go into schools, and 

workplaces and help 

bring people together. He 

said the commission has 

no power. “We can’t put 

people in jail,” he said, 

“but if somebody is having 

a problem at work, we can 

help get a conversation 

going.” 

Suspect Caught After 

Shooting Trooper 

A State Highway 

Patrol trooper, who was 

shot during a traffic stop 

in Durham Monday 

evening remains in fair 

but stable condition. 

“He is talking, alert, in 

good spirits,” said First 

Sgt. Jeff Gordon, Public 

Information Officer with 

the North Carolina State 

Highway Patrol, 

Wednesday morning of 

trooper Michael Potts. 

Sources say Potts is 

expected to make a full 

recovery. 

On Tuesday, Mikel 

Edward Brady, 23, of 

White Pine Drive in 

Durham, was arrested at 

an apartment complex in 

the Brier Creek area of 

Raleigh and charged in 

connection with the 

crime. He is being held in 

the Durham County Jail 

under $8 million bond, 

charged with assault with 

a deadly weapon with 

intent to kill, inflicting 

serious injury. 

Brady is accused of 

shooting Potts after the 

trooper pulled Brady’s car 

over on U.S. 70 near 

Cheek Road Monday 

evening, because the 

driver allegedly was not 

wearing a seatbelt. Brady 

is accused of shooting 

Potts in the face, 

shoulder, and and fingers 

after the trooper walked 

up to his car. 

The accused is also 

wanted in Vermont on a 

felony absconder warrant. 

He had been in a prison 

furlough program when 

Vermont authorities lost 

track of him last fall. He 

has a lengthy criminal 

record, with state and 

federal convictions for 

robbery, burglary, assault 

and stealing dynamite. 

Trooper Potts is an 11- 

year veteran who joined 

the patrol in August of 

2001. He is assigned to 

the Durham district 

office.

Friends, Family 

& Neighbors 

A very special birthday party was held recently 

in Durham, featuring siblings from the South 

Granville area, over 90, two of whom have February 

birthdays. They were kind enough to share their 

secrets of longevity. 

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 

Walter Bullock of Creedmoor celebrated his 95th 

birthday on February 16 at the Arbor Walk Assisted 

Living Facility in Durham. 

Walter cutting his birthday cake. 

Mr. Bullock stated during the ceremony that his 

secret to longevity is “to keep going, refuse to stop, 

and to work hard.” He added that the true key to living 

a good life is to have “lots of women, do late night 

stuff, and drink liquor every chance you can.” 

Walter’s birthday cake 

During the celebration, his family described him 

as a beloved father, cousin, uncle and brother who is 

lovable, worldly, and well respected. 

Seven out of 15 living brothers and sisters were 

in attendance during the party. Ms. Minnie Lyon, who 

celebrated her birthday on February 17, said that the 

secret to longevity was “love and forgiveness.” 

Ms. Minnie Bullock Lyon 

James Beezer, currently of Maryland, was also 

there. He said that he is the youngest of all of the 

siblings, and that his knowledge from his older 

siblings, his work in the U. S. Army, and his teachers 

were the key to his success. 

Notre Dame Hunt, 87, was among the guests. Her 

religion was what has kept her strong over the last 

87 years. 

Novella Chick, 92 years old, said that she is still 

driving, while her siblings, joked, “She is a race car 

driver.” She said that the key to longevity is not dating 

since she turned 90. 

Bessie, 84, said that her secret to longevity is that 

she listened well to her older brothers and sisters. 

Joyce Marie Bullock Richardson did not want to 

give her age, but said that the key to her long life is 

that she had five sons, including one set of twins, who 

kept her young and strong. 

Seated are Minnie B. Lyon, Walter Bullock, James Bullock, 

Sr. (Beezer), and Notre Dame Hunt. Standing are Novella B. 

Chick, Bessie B. Lyman, Louis Chambers, and Joyce B. 

Richardson. Not present was Hugh DaVinci Bullock, Sr. 

SOAP OPERA REVIEW 

BOLD AND 

BEAUTIFUL 

Despite Steffy 

admitting that she revealed 

her pregnancy in 

order to stop him from 

marrying Hope, Liam did 

choose to be with Steffy. 

Oliver attempted to cheer 

up a heartbroken Hope by 

confiding something he's 

kept from her for years. 

Taylor responded to 

Brooke's disapproval of 

her relationship with Eric 

by declaring that their 

romance will happen 

whether or not anyone 

likes it. 

BUNHEADS 

On the season finale, 

when Michelle headed to 

Hollywood to compete with 

people half her age in an 

audition for a Broadway 

musical, the girls secretly 

followed her. Scotty 

returned unannounced. 

Sasha believed that her 

friends should take their 

romantic relationships to 

the next level. 

THE CARRIE 

DIARIES 

Carrie was torn about 

accepting Larissa's offer of 

an internship at Interview. 

When Carrie suggested to 

George that they leave her 

school dance early, he got 

the wrong idea about her 

intentions. Donna caught 

Maggie cheating on Walt 

and blackmailed her into 

keeping Carrie away from 

Sebastian. Mouse blamed 

her not perfect test grade 

on her relationship with 

Seth. 

DALLAS 

John Ross pressed Sue 

Ellen to help him gain 

control of Ewing Energies. 

Christopher and Pamela 

tried to settle their divorce. 

With Drew's help, 

Christopher made a 

shocking discovery that 

could change Ewing 

Energies' future. The 

family united against an 

outsider's threat. 

DAYS OF OUR LIVES 

Sami intended to use 

Gabi's past to secure Will's 

access to his baby, even as 

Will agonized over signing 

the papers relinquishing 

his parental rights. When 

Daniel refused to cut his 

ties to Chloe, who then 

fought with Abigail, 

Jennifer told Daniel that 

she wants to break up. As 

Kristen's emotional appeal 

persuaded Brady to move 

into the Kiriakis mansion, 

a horrified John heard the 

news and headed back to 

Salem. 

GENERAL 

HOSPITAL 

Caleb fled with Sam as 

his hostage. As Rafe cared 

for Daniel, he had a vision 

of his mother, who 

confirmed that Caleb is his 

biological father. Patrick 

offered support as Sabrina 

awaited the outcome of the 

inquiry. Frisco intended to 

win back Felicia. Duke 

made a move that 

undermined Tracy. 

THE LYING GAME 

Dan and Theresa's 

wedding celebration did 

not go off as planned. 

Ethan figured out who 

Emma is protecting and 

was upset over being shut 

out. Ted's behavior grew 

more erratic. Jordan chose 

which side to support-Alec 

or Rebecca. When Sutton 

had a change of heart, 

Emma wasn't sure her 

sister could be trusted. 

NASHVILLE 

Juliette's performance 

at her surprise birthday 

party for Deacon was 

derailed by her mother. 

The tabloids ran with 

Rayna and Teddy's 

divorce, speculating about 

her cheating and pushing 

their children into the 

spotlight. Teddy held a 

press conference to make 

it appear that his hiring 

Peggy is all business. 

90210 

Silver was unaware 

that Dixon booked 

Michaela to perform at the 

new restaurant being run 

by Naomi and her halfbrother, 

Mark. Annie felt 

confused about her 

resurfacing feelings for 

Liam. Navid agreed to 

escort Campbell's 

fiancee to an event, only 

to discover that 

Campbell is cheating on 

her. 

ONCE UPON A 

TIME 

Mary Margaret was 

determined to take 

possession of Rumplestiltskin's 

dagger before 

Cora and Regina could 

get to it. Mr. Gold 

searched for Bae, while 

Hook devised a plan to 

get rid of a crocodile. In 

the former fairytale land, 

the Blue Fairy gave 

Snow White an 

enchantment that could 

save her dying mother, 

Queen Eva. 

PRETTY LITTLE 

LIARS 

Unsure if she could 

accept Spencer's 

disclosures, Emily 

considered looking for 

her own answers, taking 

a dangerous path. While 

helping her mother 

following Ashley's 

involvement in a hitand-run 

accident, Hanna 

feared that A had set it 

up. Aria had to come to 

terms with Ezra's new 

life as Malcolm's father. 

RED WIDOW 

On the series premiere, 

when mobster's 

daughter Marta's 

husband Evan, a 

marijuana trafficker, 

was murdered in their 

driveway, she made 

protecting her three 

children her top priority. 

Her son Boris was 

traumatized by 

witnessing his father's 

death, while Marta's 

sister, Kay, had trouble 

with her new husband 

when she stepped in to 

help with Marta's 

children. 

REVENGE 

"Revenge" is pre-empted 

by the two hour premiere 

of "Red Widow." 

SMASH: When Derek 

needed help at a special 

event, Jimmy's pride 

risked blowing a big 

opportunity that Karen 

arranged for him and 

Kyle. Peter challenged 

Julia as they 

collaborated. Ronnie 

struggled to assert her 

independence from her 

powerful mother, while 

Eileen faced a moral 

crossroads that could 

decide the future of 

"Bombshell." 

SWITCHED AT 

BIRTH 

Daphne felt 

pressured to pick a side 

when the deaf students 

at Carlton rallied the 

school board to stop a 

larger number of hearing 

students from attending 

the pilot program. Bay 

questioned Regina's 

behavior. Toby grew 

closer to Elisa. Daphne 

got the lead in the school 

play. 

VAMPIRE DIARIES 

Rebekah's relentless 

questions about the 

search for a cure led to a 

shocking disclosure from 

Elena. Shane was in 

danger after revealing 

too much to the wrong 

person. Caroline tried to 

comfort Tyler after a 

violent confrontation. 

Klaus became impatient 

with Damon and Matt's 

training of Jeremy as a 

hunter and intervened. 

YOUNG AND 

RESTLESS 

Lauren responded to 

Michael's apology by 

announcing she's moving 

out. After Jack declared 

that he wants to protect 

and take care of Phyllis, 

they made love. 

Meanwhile, after 

Michael offered 

Christine his job as 

district attorney, she told 

Paul that she still 

intends to make Phyllis 

pay for the hit and run. 

Nick and Victoria offered 

help when Nikki 

revealed her illness.

Your Week Ahead Horoscope 

Feb. 22, 2012 - Feb. 28, 2013 

by Lasha Seniuk 

ARIES (March 21- 

April 19): Make friends 

with yourself and you 

will never feel alone. You 

may be your own worst 

critic. In the week to 

come, work at being the 

very best you can be and 

concentrate on what is 

good about yourself. 

TAURUS (April 20- 

May 20): Handle money 

with businesslike 

precision and remain 

formal in social 

situations. You will 

receive better 

acceptance from others 

in the week ahead if 

your actions are above 

reproach. Display 

professionalism. 

GEMINI (May 21- 

June 20): Be a friend 

indeed. Feeling 

gratitude but not 

expressing it is like 

buying a present and 

wrapping it, but not 

giving it. Give credit 

where credit is due in 

the week ahead - even if 

you think someone has 

ulterior motives. 

CANCER (June 21- 

July 22): Live long and 

prosper. Some money 

must come and go, but 

some money can be used 

as seed for a future 

harvest. Don't make 

permanent decisions 

based on temporary 

feelings in the upcoming 

week. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 

22): Consider making 

headway with your 

health in the week 

ahead. Dump the junk 

foods and begin eating 

more nourishing fruits 

and vegetables. You only 

have one body and must 

find ways to make it 

last. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23- 

Sept. 22): Sometimes it 

pays to mix business 

and pleasure. If you 

develop a strong sense of 

compassion and sharp 

wits, you won't fall for 

cheap tricks in the week 

ahead. Romantic and 

business ties can grow 

stronger. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 

22): The notion that 

opposites attract is a 

fallacy unless you are 

discussing magnets. In 

the week to come, it's best 

to seek companionship 

from those who are like 

you in their tastes, 

opinions and lifestyles. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 23- 

Nov. 21): Distance 

yourself from problems. 

Develop a more objective 

perspective in the week 

ahead by finding other 

activities to occupy your 

time. Seek relief from 

pressure so you can 

improve your attitude. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 

22-Dec. 21): In fairy tales, 

fantasies can come true. 

Bottle up woeful wisdoms. 

You might be right, but 

you don't need to spread 

doom and gloom this week 

when someone else is 

delighted with new plans 

and ideas. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 

22-Jan. 19): Break out of 

a rut and make a brave 

stand. The time may be 

ripe to apologize to 

someone for not listening 

to wise advice sooner. In 

the week ahead, read 

inspiring literature and 

think about long-term 

results. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- 

Feb. 18): Look and listen 

for lasting values. In the 

upcoming week, someone 

behind the scenes may 

give you the opportunity 

to lead - but if you fail to 

perform, they'll take 

control back in their own 

hands. 

PISCES (Feb. 19- 

March 20): Life doesn't 

come with an instruction 

manual. Sometimes you 

must ask others for help 

and assistance. This is a 

week when you must feel 

your way around, think 

things through and rely 

upon intuition.

Guest Editorial 

by Gerald Hendricks 

It looks like photo 

voter ID will be coming to 

North Carolina as Rep. 

Governor Pat McCrory 

and Rep. Senator Phil 

Berger have said they 

would prefer a photo 

voter ID law. 

According to the State 

Board of Elections there 

could be as many as 

613,000 voters that do 

not have a state issued 

driver’s license or 

identification card. 

Assuming it cost $10 

(a swag) to issue a photo 

ID to each of the 600k, it 

would cost the state $6 

million (I would expect 

the state to pay for their 

requirement. If not, 

would it be considered a 

voter tax?). 

Then, there is the cost 

every year after that. 

That is a great deal of 

money to correct a voter 

fraud problem that no 

one has shown to be a 

problem. Yes, some 

groups did find that the 

voter roles are a mess, 

but that is not voter 

fraud. Six million dollars 

to correct a non-problem 

or an additional $6 

million for education. 

What would benefit the 

state more? 

In a recent e-mail on 

the proposed voted ID 

bill, the head of the state 

NAACP stated that the 

bill will suppress the 

votes of minorities, 

youth, disabled and the 

elderly, as a good 

percentage of the 600k 

voters without a photo ID 

are. 

Republican Representative 

Michael 

Speciale responded by 

calling the e-mail as 

race-baiting, as racist 

diatribes, and just plain 

racist. 

People like to say 

that they need to show 

identification for a 

number of things, such 

as buying cigarettes, 

beer, opening a bank 

account, or cashing a 

check, as examples, so 

why not voting? Voting is 

a right and addressed in 

the 15th, 17th, 19th, 

24th, and 26th 

amendments to the U.S. 

Constitution. 

The others are 

privileges. Voting is a 

right, not a privilege. 

What is disappointing is 

all these politicians 

declaring their total 

opposition to any and all 

restriction on their 2nd 

Amendments right to 

keep and bear arms, but 

are silent or in favor of 

restrictions on their right 

to vote. 

So, if we are required 

to show a photo ID in 

order to exercise our 

right to vote, then may I 

suggest, to be fair, that 

other rights require 

photo IDs. If you wish to 

exercise your right to 

religion, show your photo 

ID on entering a church, 

temple, mosque, or 

synagogue. 

Before you exercise 

your right of free speech, 

show your photo ID. 

Want the right to 

assemble, show your 

photo ID. Want life, 

liberty, or the pursuit of 

happiness, show your 

photo ID, just to be fair.

Letters To The Editor 

POLLUTION SMELLS 

To The Editor: 

The following comments are addressed to 

Creedmoor Mayor Darryl Moss and the City of 

Creedmoor Board of Commissioners: 

I am asking that you reconsider the proposed 

project that is intended to be located near the 

intersection of Hester Road and Tar River Road. 

This project is being portrayed as having little if 

any adverse impact to existing farmlands and 

resources. 

For the past 28 years, I have maintained my own 

sub-pump septic system at the home I built in 1984, 

located on Tar River Road, just a few steps from the 

newly proposed wastewater site. 

It seems that developers, planners, and those 

newly built subdivisions in the city limits of 

Creedmoor did not apply adequate resources and 

forethought to future issues of wastewater control. 

Transporting wastewater to a county site outside 

of the city limits for processing seems rather awkward 

and prone to accidental spillage. Shocking, even more, 

is the proposal to dump treated wastewater into the 

Tar River, especially after all the past and on-going 

efforts to make the Tar River a kayaking and 

recreational Mecca. 

Pollution, even an “acceptable level of pollution,”

The Bigger Picture of 

Medicaid Expansion 

For state Rep. Bert 

Jones, the expansion of 

Medicaid under federal 

health care reform could 

be explained easily. 

"It's simply another 

step toward the goal of 

socialized medicine 

controlled by the federal 

government," the 

Rockingham County 

Republican said as the 

state House considered 

legislation to block that 

expansion in North 

Carolina. 

Jones seems to have 

missed something. 

To a significant 

degree, health care in 

this country is already 

socialized, and has been 

for a long time. 

Government programs 

Medicare and 

Medicaid are dominate 

players in the health care 

market. They account for 

55 percent of U.S. 

hospital revenue. 

And private, employer-based 

insurance, 

making up about 60 

percent of the overall 

health insurance market, 

is itself socialist in 

nature. It is a risk pool, 

people pooling their 

resources to hedge 

against the risk that 

each, individually, 

might 

be the 

one to 

suffer 

some 

catastrophic 

injury 

or illness. 

As for 

t h a t 

word "market," it too is a 

stretch. 

A day before Jones 

made his comment, I was 

on the phone with a 

health care lobbyist. "You 

know this. There is no 

health care market in the 

country," he said. 

What he meant is that 

no one goes shopping for 

health care services like 

we shop for cars or 

groceries, by comparing 

prices. 

If there is no market, 

there is a health care 

economy. 

Even if we pay for 

health care indirectly, 

through and taxes, the 

amount of money that 

moves into and through 

the health care economy 

is substantial. 

Roughly 18 percent of 

A V IEW 

F ROM 

R ALEIGH 

By Scott 

Mooneyham 

The Raleigh Report 

Is North Carolina 

manufacturing dead? 

"The reports of my 

death are greatly 

exaggerated." 

So said Mark Twain 

after hearing that his 

obituary had been 

published in the New 

York Journal. 

And many of the more 

than 1,000 people who 

attended the Emerging 

Issues Forum last week 

are saying something 

similar about the 

reported death of 

manufacturing in North 

Carolina. "Manufacturing 

is not dead; it 

is on the upswing in our 

state." 

Wait a minute. Even 

the forum’s sponsor, 

North Carolina State’s 

Emerging Issues 

Institute, acknowledges 

that between 1992 and 

2010, manufacturing 

employment in our state 

declined by 30.6 percent, 

leaving fewer than 

620,000 manufacturing 

jobs. 

Meanwhile, although 

the manufacturing of 

pharmaceuticals, 

plastics, and food 

processing 

products 

is growing 

rapidly, 

employment 

in textiles, 

furniture, 

a n d 

tobacco 

manufacturing 

is down. 

Maybe not 

down and 

out. Maybe not quite 

dead. 

"Manufacturing has a 

public image problem," 

reported the institute. 

By show-casing a host 

of new manufacturing 

activities, the forum 

attacked the public 

image problem and 

persuaded attendees that 

there is a manufacturing 

renaissance in our state. 

But the renaissance 

the forum touted is based 

on a new model. 

For instance, Gart 

Davis, founder of 

Durham-based Spoonflower, 

explained how his 

manufacturing business 

makes it "possible for 

individuals to design, 

print and sell their own 

T HE R ALEIGH R EPORT 

By 

D.G. 

Martin 

the count 

r y ' s 

gross 

domestic 

product 

is health 

care. By 

comparison, 

construction 

spending 

-- residential 

a n d 

commercial 

-- makes up about 6 

percent of the U.S. 

economy. 

These rambling 

remarks about health 

care spending are a 

winding prelude to 

suggest that the 

Republican-controlled 

state legislature and a 

Republican governor are 

playing with a very 

complex fire by falling on 

their ideological sword 

regarding Medicaid 

expansion. 

The state House and 

Senate have passed bills 

to block that expansion, 

which would extend 

coverage to another 

500,000 low-income 

North Carolinians. Gov. 

Pat McCrory supports 

the move. 

In the first three 

fabric, 

wallpaper 

and wall 

decals." 

So, if 

you want 

your own 

design for a 

fabric or 

wallpaper, 

Spoonflower 

can manufacture 

those products, 

quickly, in small 

amounts, at a reasonable 

price. 

The process is made 

possible, according to 

Spoonflower, by modern 

digital textile printers, 

which are large-format 

inkjet printers modified 

to run fabric. 

If you follow book 

publishing, Spoonflower 

is for fabric design and 

manufacturing as "books 

on demand" is to the 

publishing process. 

But the modern 

textile printer, by itself, 

could not assure 

Spoonflower’s success. In 

the old days textile 

manufacturers, large 

and small, required a 

network of expensive 

years, the federal 

government would pick 

up all the costs, with the 

state paying 10 percent 

down the road. 

The GOP case to turn 

down the money includes 

that, within five years, 

the state would be paying 

more than $240 million as 

its match and that the 

expansion would cover 

not only the uninsured 

but some who would shift 

to Medicaid from private 

insurance. 

That reasoning 

doesn't trump the bigger 

picture of how the health 

care economy is critical to 

North Carolina's larger 

economy. 

McCrory and state 

legislators cannot stop 

the federal health care 

law from moving, shifting 

and taking away portions 

of the health care dollar, 

including Medicare 

money, in North Carolina. 

They have ensured 

that another source of 

revenue will not backfill 

those dollars. 

If the result is a more 

stagnant state economy, 

we all will feel the effects 

soon enough. 

So will those who 

made the decision. 

support services, including 

sales representatives, 

advertising 

campaigns, factors, and 

bankers. 

Spoonflower operates 

without them. 

"We get paid and we 

keep it all," Davis told 

the Emerging Issues 

audience. 

Manufacturing on 

demand permits Spoonflower 

to collect from its 

customers immediately, 

using on-line payment 

services like PayPal. 

The internet’s social 

media connects satisfied 

customers to other fabric 

users, spreading the 

word without expensive 

paid ad campaigns. The 

company’s webpage 

www.spoonflower.com 

provides poten-tial 

customers all they need 

to place orders. Be 

careful. If you visit that 

site, you might find 

yourself placing an 

order. 

Spoonflower does a 

healthy export business.

VGCC BACKYARD 

CHICKEN CLASS 

RESCHEDULED 

A new Vance- 

Granville Community 

College Personal 

Enrichment course on 

raising chickens has been 

rescheduled. 

The one-day 

“Backyard Chicken Craft” 

class is now set to be held 

on Saturday, March 2 

from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. 

(including a one-hour 

lunch break), with a 

classroom component at 

VGCC’s Main Campus in 

Vance County and a 

hands-on component at 

instructor Mike Holland’s 

farm on Lickskillet Road 

in Warren County. 

Holland will help 

participants understand if 

keeping chickens in their 

own backyards is right for 

them. “In this course, I 

will teach first-time 

chicken-keepers about 

how many and what breed 

of chicken to raise, and 

how to house and care for 

your chickens,” Holland 

said. The cost of the class 

is $25 per person. The 

class is scheduled to be 

offered again in April in 

two sessions. 

Holland is also an 

instructor 

for 

“Beekeeping Basics,” a 

course for which some 

spaces are available.

“AFTERNOON TEA” 

CLASS IN MARCH 

Vance-Granville 

Community College will 

offer a course on 

“Afternoon Tea,” the 

tradition that is enjoying a 

renaissance as fine hotels, 

inns and tea rooms across 

the country give guests an 

opportunity to retreat from 

the hurried pace of their 

lives. 

The course, called 

“Let's Have an Afternoon 

Tea,” is offered by the 

college in collaboration 

with The Old North State 

Tea Society. Classes will 

meet on VGCC’s Main 

Campus in Vance County, 

on Tuesdays and 

Thursdays from 1 until 4 

p.m., starting March 5. 

The final class and 

“graduation” ceremony is 

an actual afternoon tea 

party planned and 

facilitated by the students 

at Magnolia Manor in 

Warrenton on March 18. 

“Tea is good for your 

health, and this fun, 

informative class is a way 

to recapture civility and 

learn etiquette in a 

friendly setting,” according 

to the instructor for the 

class, Constance Lue of 

Oxford, who founded both 

the Old North State Tea 

Society and this class at 

VGCC in 2006. Lue has 

studied under the foremost 

authorities on Afternoon 

Tea in Great Britain and 

the United States. 

Students will learn 

about the history of tea; 

the difference between an 

afternoon tea party, a royal 

tea party and “High Tea;” 

and the proper way to 

make the best pot of tea. 

They will have tastings of 

a wide variety of teas 

(black, white, green, 

Oolongs and herbal) at 

each class meeting. 

Participants might use 

what they learn to hold 

their own tea parties for 

children as well as their 

adult friends. Afternoon 

Tea also can be a way to 

raise funds for churches 

and clubs. 

Completion of the 

course guarantees 

automatic membership in 

the Old North State Tea 

Society, which offers 

opportunities to 

participate in group visits 

to various tea rooms and 

tea events. The Society 

also conducts charitable 

service/outreach projects, 

visiting schools, nursing 

homes and Boys and Girls 

Clubs. 

The cost of the course 

is $45, which includes a 

valuable resource manual 

with recipes for tea time, 

tips on flower arranging 

and a section on etiquette.

The Raleigh 

Report Cont. 

[Continued From Page 4a) 

It’s business model 

avoids the complexities 

that discourage some 

larger manufacturers 

from exporting. For 

instance, using Google’s 

translation program, it 

communicates directly 

with potential non- 

English speaking 

customers. 

And, says Davis, 

they have learned how to 

ship a small order to a 

distant place like 

Tasmania in Australia 

for only $2. 

Why did Davis pick 

Durham 

for 

Spoonflower? He says 

the entrepreneurial 

culture and resources in 

the Research Triangle 

area and the help 

available from NC 

State’s College of 

Textiles were big factors. 

Ongoing research at 

other universities could 

lead to new 

manufacturing 

businesses. Dr. Anthony

his team uses to build

using as raw materials 

the patient-recipient’s 

cells. In the lab, Atala’s 

team can build 

replacement blood 

vessels and bladders. 

They have their sights on 

more complicated 

organs. The lab process is 

very expensive, but as 

production is refined and 

transferred to 

manufacturers, costs will 

decline. 

The forum’s message 

was "North Carolina is 

uniquely positioned to 

take advantage of these 

opportunities." 

Why uniquely 

positioned? 

Because of an 

explosion of research and 

future researchers on our 

university campuses, 

because of the flexible 

and effective job-training 

capability of the state’s 

community colleges, 

because of co-operative,

manufacturing tradition 

is far from dead.

is merely pollution denoted by a sanitized acronym. 

I think that this is an important decision It will 

not benefit the rural community, nor will it assist in 

maintaining existing rural roads, nor will it reduce 

increased travel frequency on these roads. 

Pollution smells, and so does this proposed 

project, especially for those of us that reside just a 

few short steps away from the site. 

Your reconsideration is appreciated.

WOMEN IN COMBAT WRONG 

To The Editor: 

While I totally endorse equal rights for all, I 

cannot say the same for the recent ruling that will 

allow women to fight alongside male soldiers. To 

me, it signifies just how far society has traveled down 

the wrong road on a host of issues, and, this latest 

one signals to me one of extreme danger. 

Danger, not just to the entire concept of the 

definition of a woman, but also to the spiritual 

consequences. God created woman to be a 

“companion to man.” It was man’s duty to reside in 

domain over everything else. I have to believe that 

also included fighting wars, started by men who 

benefit from such. 

A woman brings forth life; she should not be put 

in a position, therefore, to take a life. Yet this is 

what combatant women will be programmed to do. 

We already witness the severe, and often, disabling 

psychological repercussions in men who go to war. 

The consequences for women would be almost 

unimaginable! 

I realize this letter won’t do anything to halt the 

action, and there will be many, including women. who 

might beg to differ with me. 

I have always subscribed, however, to the simple 

concept of, when in doubt about anything involving 

man versus God, I choose to take the side of God. 

I may be politically incorrect in man’s world, but 

if I’m okay in God’s world, that is fine with me.

Driver Safety Course 

The AARP Driver 

Safety Program is the nation’s 

first and largest 

driver safety course designed 

especially for 

driver’s age 50 and older. 

The course is intended 

to help drivers live more 

in-dependently as they 

age and remain safe on 

today’s roads. The Driver 

Safety Program covers 

defensive driving 

techniques and the 

normal changes in vision, 

hearing and reaction time 

associated with aging. 

The course also provides 

practical techniques for 

adjusting to these 

changes to ensure the 

driver’s own safety and 

that of others on the road. 

Participants learn about 

current rules of the road 

and how to operate 

vehicles more safely in 

today’s increasingly 

challenging driving 

environment. 

Topics include: 

Maintaining proper 

following distance; 

methods of changing 

lanes and turning at 

intersections; effects of 

medications on driving; 

minimizing the effect of 

dangerous blind spots; 

limiting drivers 

distractions such as 

eating, smoking and cell 

phone use, properly using 

safety belts, air bags, and 

anti-lock brakes; 

maintaining physical 

flexibility and monitoring 

the driving skills and 

capabilities of yourself 

and others. The Granville 

County Senior Center in 

Oxford will host the AARP 

Driver Safety class in 

March. This class will be 

held on Thursday, March 

14 from 9:00 a.m. until 

1:00 p.m. You must pre 

register for this class. 

The cost will be $12 for 

AARP members and $14 

for non-members which 

includes all course 

materials. Course 

participants may be 

eligible to receive a statemandated, 

multi-year 

discount on their auto 

insurance premium.

WHAT ARE 

TODAY’S BEST 

INVESTMENT 

RULES? 

Confused about what to invest in today? Join the 

club! The stock market has made up most of what it 

lost during the recession, but some say it’s gone too 

high. Gold is down from its peak, yet worries about 

inflation may push it back up. Real estate appears to 

be coming back, but for how long? Safe investments, 

like certificates of deposit and government bonds, are 

available but are paying near-historic low rates. 

So there’s uncertainty and worries in the 

investment world. This isn’t new. There are always 

investing. Investing deals with the future and, of 

course, no one can perfectly foresee what’s ahead. 

What’s an investor to do? Fortunately, there are 

some traditional investment rules that I believe still 

apply to today’s turbulent times. There’s no guarantee 

that following them will make you rich, but I’m hopeful 

they will prevent you from making some big mistakes. 

Here are my top five rules. 

Risk and return move together: One of the most 

frequently asked questions in my 35-year career has 

been, "Where can I invest my money to get higher 

earnings yet take no risk?" My answer is always short 

– nowhere! One of the basic rules of investing is that 

risk and return move together. To get a higher return 

on your money, you must take more risk. And to have 

less chance of losing some or all of your money, you 

have to accept a lower return. 

This relationship should make sense. The only way 

someone will expose their hard-earned invested money 

to more risk is with the expectation -- if things work 

out -- of earning more on that money. 

This is not to say people shouldn’t take some risk 

in investing. Indeed, most experts say some risky 

ventures should be part of any investment portfolio. 

But investors should know the level of risk they’re 

taking. Also, investors shouldn’t think they can have 

the free lunch of low risk and high returns! 

Learn, and only then, leap: I can remember my 

late mom and dad sitting around the kitchen table 50 

years ago and listening to someone making pitches 

for investments. My parents never went to college -- 

indeed, neither finished high school -- and while 

intelligent, they simply didn’t understand the 

terminology or ideas of investing. I know they had no 

clue as to what the salesperson was saying. 

Any investment worthy of consideration should 

and can be presented and explained to you in an easilyunderstood 

fashion with a minimum of jargon and 

complications. And if it can’t be explained to your 

satisfaction, then you should walk away. For any 

investment, you need to know exactly how your money 

will be working, what can go right and what can go 

wrong. Don’t let someone wave their hands and say, 

"It’s complicated, but it will work out – trust me." 

That’s not good enough.. 

Find fees: Investment managers and companies 

have to earn money. So somehow they will be 

compensated. That’s understandable. But before you 

put your money in any investment, find out exactly 

how the compensation occurs. Sometimes it will be 

when you initially invest the money, sometimes when 

you withdraw the money, sometimes while the 

investment is working and sometimes a combination 

of the three. The point is, know how you pay and what 

you pay. 

And beware, fees do vary. So if an investment 

charges higher fees, ask what you are getting in return 

for those costs. 

Decide to diversify: A traditional way of dealing 

with risk -- as well as with the reality that knowing 

which investments will do best in the future is difficult 

-- is diversification. Diversification means putting your 

investments eggs into many baskets. How many 

baskets? Experts say to consider stocks, inflation 

hedges like gold and real estate, short-term "cash" 

investments such as money market funds and longterm 

bonds paying a fixed interest rate. Mutual funds 

are a great way to access most of these baskets. 

How much money you put in each is a personal 

choice, but having greater percentages in safer 

investments -- like cash and bonds -- as you age is 

usually recommended. 

Timing is tough: Most investors have dreams of 

timing their investments, meaning moving money in 

just as the investment is ready to take off, then moving 

money out prior to a drop or crash. It’s good to have 

dreams, but this is one that is very, very difficult to 

achieve. Many have tried -- and may succeed for a 

while -- but eventually the odds catch up to them. So 

rather than trying to hit a home run with your 

investments, the alternative is to go with singles and 

doubles! 

These investment rules have made sense (and 

cents) in the past. Do they still make sense today? 

You decide. 

Southern States is a 

supporter of FFA and is 

proud to be the sponsor 

of the “I’m Supporting 

FAA” fundraiser, said 

Thomas R. Scribner, 

president and CEO of 

Southern States. “Every 

dollar collected will 

benefit FFA members 

across the area. 

Southern States has a 

rich heritage of working 

with FFA and hopes the 

public will assist with the 

project by supporting the 

effort and contributing a 

dollar for a personalized 

paper FFA emblem.” 

After you buy an 

emblem, you can sign 

your name on it or even 

the name of a child you 

care about. The emblems 

will then be displayed in 

the store for all to see. 

Proceeds are split 

between the local FFA 

chapter, the state FFA 

association and the 

National FFA 

Foundation. 

To buy a paper 

emblem, visit a 

participating Southern 

States Cooperative near 

you.

DON’T MISS THESE TAX-CUTTERS ON 

YOUR 2012 RETURN 

As you assemble the paperwork you’ll need to file 

your 2012 tax return, take a minute to review some 

last-minute moves you could make to cut last year’s 

tax bill. Also, pay attention to deductions you 

shouldn’t overlook. Here’s a quick checklist. 

( The American Taxpayer Relief Act, signed into 

law on January 2, 2013, has some tax-savers for 2012. 

The law restored for 2012 through 2013 the following 

tax breaks: 

* The optional deduction for state and local sales 

taxes in lieu of deducting state and local income taxes. 

* The above-the-line deduction for up to $4,000 

for qualified tuition and related expenses. 

* The above-the-line deduction for up to $250 of 

classroom supplies purchased by teachers. 

* The exclusion from income for cancellation of 

mortgage debt of up to $2 million on a principal 

residence. 

* The deduction for mortgage insurance 

premiums. 

* The tax credit for making energy-saving home 

improvements. 

( If you’re in business, the new law included some 

tax breaks you shouldn’t overlook. The first-year 

expensing option for equipment purchases in 2012 

was increased to $500,000, with a $2,000,000 total 

limit. The research tax credit, the work opportunity 

credit, and the 15-year recovery period for qualified 

leasehold and retail improvements and qualified 

restaurant property were all made available for 2012. 

( If you qualify, you have until April 15 to make a 

deductible 2012 IRA contribution. The maximum 

2012 contribution is $5,000 if you’re under age 50 

and $6,000 if you’re 50 or older. 

( The $2,500 deduction for student loan interest 

is still available for 2012 and can be taken even if 

you don’t itemize deductions on your return. 

The tax law gets more complicated every time 

Congress passes another bill, but don’t let your tax 

bill creep higher than necessary through oversight. 

Call our office if you want details on any of these or 

other ways to cut your 2012 tax bill.

How Medicare Covers Diabetes 

Dear Savvy Senior, 

What does Medicare cover when it comes to 

diabetes? I’m 65 and have pre-diabetes, and would like 

to find out what all is covered. 

Fat Albert 

Dear Albert, 

Medicare actually offers a wide range of coverage 

to help beneficiaries who have diabetes, as well as those 

who are at risk of getting it – but they don’t cover 

everything. Here’s a breakdown of what Medicare 

covers when it comes to diabetes services and supplies 

along with some other tips that can help you save. 

Doctor’s services: If you’re a Medicare beneficiary, 

Medicare Part B will pay 80 percent of the cost of all 

doctor’s office visits that are related to diabetes. You 

are responsible for paying the remaining 20 percent 

after you’ve met your annual 2013 $147 Part B 

deductible. 

Screenings: If you don’t currently have diabetes, 

but you do have pre-diabetes or some other health 

conditions that put you at risk of getting it – such as 

high blood pressure, high cholesterol and triglycerides, 

are overweight, or have a family history of diabetes – 

Medicare will pay 100 percent of the cost of up to two 

diabetes screenings every year. 

Education: If you have diabetes, Medicare covers 

80 percent of the cost of self-management training 

(after you meet your Part B deductible) to teach you 

how to successfully manage your diabetes. 

Supplies and medications: Eighty percent of the 

cost of glucose monitors, test strips and lancets (100 

per month if you use insulin, or 33 per month if you 

don’t), glucose control solutions and insulin (if you use 

an insulin pump) are covered by Medicare Part B, after 

you’ve met your deductible. 

If, however, you inject insulin with a syringe, 

Medicare’s Part D prescription drug benefit may help 

pay your insulin costs and the supplies needed to inject 

it – if you have a plan. Part D plans also cover most 

other diabetic medications too. You’ll need to check your 

plan for details. 

Nutrition: Medicare will pick up the entire tab for 

medical nutrition therapy, which teaches you how to 

adjust your diet so you can better manage your 

condition. You’ll need a doctor’s referral to get this 

service. 

Blood sugar tests: Also known as a hemoglobin A1c 

test, this checks your average blood sugar level over 

the past three months to determine how well your 

diabetes is being controlled. Medicare covers this test 

when your doctor orders it. 

Foot exams: Since foot problems are common among 

people with diabetes, Medicare also covers 80 percent 

of foot care every six months for diabetics with diabetesrelated 

nerve damage, and therapeutic shoes for people 

with severe diabetic foot disease. Orthopedic shoes are 

not covered. 

Eye exams: Because eye diseases like diabetic 

retinopathy, glaucoma and cataracts are more common 

in diabetics, 80 percent of dilated eye exams are covered 

each year, but eye exams for glasses are not. 

For more information, call Medicare at 800-633- 

4227 and ask them to mail you a free copy of the 

"Medicare’s Coverage of Diabetes Supplies & Services" 

booklet (publication 11022), or see medicare.gov/pubs/ 

pdf/11022.pdf. 

Other Insurance 

If you have a Medigap (Medicare supplemental 

insurance) policy, it may pay some of the costs that 

Medicare doesn’t cover. Call your plan’s benefits 

administrator for more information. 

Or, if you’re in a Medicare Advantage plan (like an 

HMO or PPO), your plan must give you at least the 

same diabetes coverage as original Medicare does, but 

it may have different rules. You’ll need to check your 

policy for details. 

Financial Assistance 

If you’re income is low, and you can’t afford your 

Medicare out-of-pocket costs, you may be able to get 

help through Medicare Savings Programs. Call your 

local Medicaid office for eligibility information. 

Also, find out if you are eligible for "Extra Help" 

which helps Medicare Part D beneficiaries with their 

medication expenses. Visit www.ssa.gov/ 

prescriptionhelp or call Social Security (800-772-1213) 

to learn more.

EDWARD JONES INVESTMENT FIRM 

CAN INVESTORS LEARN 

FROM YOGA FOLLOWERS? 

World Yoga Day takes place on February 24. But 

whether or not you practice yoga, you can apply some 

of its lessons to other areas of your life-such as 

investing. 

For example, consider one of the most important 

principles of investing: balance. As an investor, you 

too need to seek balance by avoiding extremes, such 

as investing too aggressively or conservatively. 

Yoga teachers also stress flexibility. And you will 

need to be flexible enough to adjust your portfolio 

periodically while still maintaining your long-term 

strategy. 

Yoga students strive for relaxation. As an investor, 

you also need to relax and not overreact to the ups 

and downs of the market. 

Yoga teaches its students to exercise positive 

thinking. When you invest, you can benefit by 

maintaining a positive attitude. By staying positive, 

you may be more likely to make better decisions for 

the long term, rather than overreacting to short-term, 

negative events. 

Try putting the teachings of yoga to work -- they 

may help you become a better investor.

Vikings Advance With Win Over Panthers 

South Granville and 

ranville Central played 

or the third time this 

eason. Panthers’ Coach 

ike McDaniel said, “ 

outh Granville was the 

etter team tonight. I do 

hink it would have been

ot missed 11 free throws 

n the first half.” The 

ikings escaped with a 58-

ario Thorpe and Ansar

aint for the Panthers 

coring two baskets. Taz 

trudwick scored three 

oints for the Vikings to go 

long with two by 

randen Ragland. The

tarted for the Panthers in

ranville Central missed 

ll five free throw 

ttempts. South Granville 

ed 15-10 at the end of the 

irst period. 

JC Shelley found his

reeman and Peyton 

homas each scored a 

asket in the paint. The 

anthers made one of 

even free throws in the 

econd quarter. South 

ranville led 32-23 at 

ntermission. 

The Panthers returned 

o the court with renewed 

nergy. Kaleb Hunter 

cored five straight points 

to give the Panthers a 

boost. Green hit another 

three and the South 

Granville lead began to 

shrink. 

The Vikings answered

finished the season with 

an 8-17 record and 3-13 in 

conference play. Coach 

McDaniel commented, 

“We must do a better job 

at the free-throw line and 

getting to those 50/50 

balls. The season did not 

turn out the way we 

wanted, but wins and 

losses don’t always 

determine the success of a 

team. Losing 99.4% of our 

scoring, rebounding, 

assists, steals & blocked 

shots to graduation and 

transfers we knew we 

would have an 

inexperienced team on the 

court. These young men 

competed admirably 

giving themselves a 

chance to win most every 

game this season and now 

they have a season of 

experience under their 

belt.”

est description of the 

pening round of Carolina 

2 Conference 

ournament play between

Granville Central and 

outh Granville traded 

oints in the opening 

inutes. Tamara Crews 

used her quickness to

four quick points for the 

Lady Panthers. South 

Granville responded with 

points from Tiana Jones at 

the free throw line and a 

basket by Nisah Darby. 

Panthers’ Coach Ken 

Blocker was clearly 

unhappy with the way the 

Lady Panthers started the 

game. Blocker called a 

timeout and told his team 

“ We are not playing our 

game, just settle down and 

run our plays. Don’t let 

them dictate the pace of 

the game. We have to 

control the tempo.” On the 

other end of the court 

Coach Debbie Bell high

them to keep it up.

from beyond the arc. The 

Lady Panthers began to 

pull away from South 

Granville. Crews 

continued to penetrate 

and score or pass the ball 

to Blair for the score. 

Jones battled in the 

paint for the Lady Vikings 

and had success in the 

second quarter. Jones 

scored six of the Lady 

Vikings’ 11 points in the

physical in the final period 

of play. The drives became 

more aggressive and the 

fouls a little harder as 

players from both teams 

hit the deck. 

Evans continued to 

have her way connecting 

on a three pointer, a two 

pointer and two free

Vikings Celebrate Senior Night 

SG 70 DSA 60 

The Vikings bounced 

the Bulldogs from 

Durham School of the Arts 

70-60 on senior night. 

Five of the eight seniors 

scored in double figures in 

the game. 

The Vikings seniors 

came to play was the best 

way to describe the 

opening period of the 

game. Taz Strudwick and 

Shawn Montren 

dominated in the paint 

combining for 10 points. 

JC Shelley drained a three 

and converted two free 

throws in the period for 

the Vikings. Ansar 

Muhammad utilized his 

defense to create a 

turnover that led to an 

easy basket. Brandon 

Ragland aggressively 

drove the lane repeatedly 

looking to dish or score. 

Ragland made DSA either 

commit to guard him or 

foul him. Ragland 

converted all four 

attempts from the free 

throw in the first period. 

South Granville held a 21- 

17 lead at the end of the 

first period. 

Dylan McFalls and 

Ryan Boltz worked hard 

on the defensive end in the 

second period creating 

problems for DSA. 

McFalls and Boltz 

deflected passes and 

defended well for the 

Vikings. The Vikings 

scoring came from the 

usual suspects Studwick, 

Montren Muhammad and 

Shelley. Strudwick was a 

terror down low. Montren 

continued to hit the short 

jumpers. Muhammad 

kept creating easy baskets 

with his defense and 

Shelley was spot on from 

three point range. The 

Vikings led 34-33 at the 

half. 

Going into the third 

period the Vikings knew 

they had to step up the 

defensive pressure and 

limit the Bulldogs touches. 

McFalls, Boltz, 

Muhammad and junior 

Gary Lash did just that in 

the third quarter. The 

Vikings denied the 

Bulldogs the ball for much 

of the quarter. 

Muhammad scored six 

points in the third quarter. 

Lash, Strudwick, Shelley 

and Boltz each scored two 

points and Montren added 

a free throw. The Vikings 

led 49-45 with eight 

minutes remaining. 

In the fourth quarter 

the Vikings worked the 

outside game with 

Muhammad and Shelley 

scoring. Ragland 

continued to drive the lane 

and dish or get fouled. 

Boltz and Montren took 

advantage of inside 

positioning and scored on 

the Bulldogs. The Vikings 

outscored DSA 21-15 in 

the final period and held 

on for the 70-60 senior 

night win.

SG 58 DSA 47 

The Lady Vikings 

celebrated senior night 

with a 58-47 win over the 

Durham School of the Arts 

Lady Bulldogs. Seniors 

Tiana Jones scored 16 and 

Katelyn Brooks scored 

eight points in their final 

regular season home 

game. 

The Lady Vikings held a 

12-11 lead at the end of the 

first period. Cameron 

Patrick scored three 

points in the first quarter. 

Deana Allen and Brooks 

each scored a basket. 

Hunter Mundy and Jones 

each connected on two free 

throws. Nisah Darby 

added a point from the 

charity stripe for the Lady 

Vikings. 

Both teams scored 12 

points in the second 

quarter. Darby led the 

way scoring five of her 15 

points in the second 

quarter. Brooks was 

active on defense and 

created turnovers that led 

to fast break points. 

Brooks scored four points 

in the quarter. Jones 

created havoc on the 

boards grabbing rebound 

after rebound and limiting 

the Lady Bulldog attempts 

in the paint. Mallory 

Brogden took advantage of 

a good pass by Brooks to 

attempt a shot from the 

right side. Brogden was 

fouled and converted one 

of two free throws for the 

Lady Vikings. South 

Granville led 24-23 at the 

half. 

The Lady Vikings started 

the third period with 

swarming defense that 

baffled the Lady Bulldogs. 

The third quarter 

belonged to Jones on the 

inside for the Lady 

Vikings. Jones scored 

eight points in the period 

on stick backs and free 

throws. The Lady Vikings 

outscored DSA 16-12 in 

the period and held a 40- 

35 lead with one quarter 

remaining. 

The Lady Vikings rolled 

off 18 points in the final 

period. Darby had 

perhaps her best 

performance as a Lady 

Viking in the final eight 

minutes of the game. 

Darby connected on two 

baskets and three free 

throws for seven points. 

Jones continued to battle 

in the paint and came up 

with a basket and two free 

throws. Patrick scored 

four points in the quarter 

to go along with three by 

Mundy. The Lady Vikings 

held on for the 58-47 win.
