Gentry inks with Catawba Valley


By Matt Tate North Buncombe High School’s


Nicole Gentry wrapped up a suc- cessful senior season Tuesday (April 13) when she signed with Catawba Valley Community College. Coach Tommy Edwards envi-


sions Gentry as a combo guard in the Bucs’ offense. “I was low on guards this upcom-


ing season, so it seemed like a good fit,” he said. Gentry said she did not know


much about Catawba Valley com- ing into this season. But once she met the coach and the other play- ers, she became excited by the op- portunity to play on the next level. “I’m ready to play,” she added. Gentry helped lead the Black-


Hawks to the second round of the NCHSAA 3-A state playoffs this past season with averages of 12 points and more than three steals a game. She was a member of the annual Blue/White all-star game that features some of the top public school players in the area.

Arthritis and Pets Many older dogs and some younger


ones develop pain associated with osteoarthritis. Larger dogs are most susceptible but any size or breed could be at risk. Early signs include difficulty ris- ing and a hesitancy to jump up onto the couch or bed or into the car. Dogs with these symptoms are feeling pain. Tere are many treatment options and life style changes that can both slow the progres- sion of arthritis and greatly improve your pet’s quality of life by controlling pain. If your dog is showing the signs of arthritis, please call your veterinarian to set up an examination today. Cats can also develop arthritis and may be helped with supple- ments or medication.
