Hard lessons from buses that go bump in the night Jeff Daniels knows the feeling. He still has it once in a while, when he’s riding a bus that veers onto the rumble strips. He knows how the Carolina Mudcats felt when they were jarred awake as their bus tipped onto its side, how they’ll feel the next time they have to get on a bus. Daniels was the head coach of the Albany (N.Y.) River Rats of the American Hockey League in February 2009 when their bus slid off a snowy mountain highway, flipped onto a guard rail that tore through the side of the bus and ended up on its side in the median in the middle of the night. Four players and a broadcaster were seriously injured. “Even to this day, even trying to sleep on the bus is tough for me to do,” said Daniels, recently dismissed by the Carolina Hurricanes as coach of the AHL’s Charlotte Checkers. “I have that reaction as soon as I hear the rumble strips – I grab the armrest right away. It’s something that doesn’t leave you. But if you want to work and play in the minors, there’s a lot of bus travel and a lot of late-night bus trips. It’s something you have to battle through.” In terms of injuries and damage, what happened to the River Rats was worse than what happened to the Mudcats, who had seven players treated and released after their bus crashed early Tuesday morning in Columbus County while traveling from Salem, Va., to Myrtle Beach, S.C. But the circumstances were otherwise all too familiar – and jarring. “Especially seeing the bus the Mudcats were

Mudcats’ team bus involved in morning crash Bus tips over near Whiteville sending several to hospital By Ron Gallagher

rgallagher@newsobserver.com

CHADBOURN Several members of the Carolinas Mudcats organization were hospitalized for a time, but released, after the team’s bus wrecked on a Columbus County road early Tuesday The bus was taking the squad from a victory in Salem, Va., to a planned three-game series in Myrtle Beach, S.C., the organization said. “We’re obviously very fortunate,” said Joe Kremer, vice president and general manager of the Mudcats. No players had broken bones and all were being taken to Myrtle Beach, he said. Tuesday night’s game against the Pelicans was postponed, and the Carolina League website said no makeup date had been scheduled. Kremer said a series in early June might be an opportunity for a double-header to make up the game. The bus, owned by Abbott Trailways Passenger Bus, was westbound on Clarendon Chadbourn Road near Whiteville when it ran off the right side of a curve, hit a ditch and turned on its side about 3:45 a.m., State Highway Patrol Sgt. Michael Baker said. Troopers said seven people who complained of minor pains from the crash were taken to Columbus County Regional Hospital. Kremer said he had been told the bus was following a detour on an unfamiliar route when the crash happened. There were about 30 players and Mudcats staff on the bus, troopers reported, and the ones not hurt were taken on a county school bus to the county Emergency Operations Center in Whiteville. “Some guys will probably have to not play for a few days,” but the team should be back to normal quickly, Kremer said. The Mudcats are a Class-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves.

Webb Simpson is all in with h i s n ew, s t a n d a rd - l e n g t h putter. He’d better be. His old putter is permanently out of commission, on display – in two pieces – in the trophy case of his home course at Quail Hollow Club. That’s because long anchor putters such as the one Simpson used to win the U.S. Open and three other PGA Tour events, will be banned in 2016. This will be the last time the Wells Fargo Championship, which begins Thursday at Quail Hollow Club, will see the longer putters. Players have been able to prepare for the rule change since 2 013 , t h e ye a r i t wa s a n nounced. Simpson, a Raleigh native, was one of those who didn’t immediately switch to the standard club. But before he left for last fall’s Dunlop Phoenix Tournament in Japan, Simpson decided he needed to begin feeling comfortable with the standard putter on his terms, rather than wait another year before he would be forced to. With his wife, Dowd, as a witness, Simpson grabbed the 44.5-inch putter that played

Still basking in the success of hosting the U.S. Open and the Women’s Open in consecutive weeks last summer, Pinehurst Resort and Country Club landed another prestigious U.S. Golf Association event Tuesday night. The USGA and Pinehurst announced that the resort will host the U.S. Amateur in 2019, using the No. 2 and No. 8 courses for stroke-play qualifying and the No. 2 course for match play, the Donald Ross track that was the venue for the U.S. Open in 1999, 2005 and 2014. Pinehurst hosted the U.S. Amateur in 2008 using the No. 2 and No. 4 courses for stroke play and No. 2 for match play. It also hosted the event in 1962. “We are pleased to welcome the USGA’s oldest championship to Pinehurst once again in 2019,” Pinehurst owner Robert Dedman said in a statement. “As long as there has been golf at Pinehurst, we have celebrated the contributions amateurs have made to the game. To serve as the site of the U.S. Amateur will be an especially proud moment for Pinehurst, and it reflects the passion for

amateur golf we share with the USGA.” This is the second USGA event on the schedule for Pinehurst, which will host the U.S. Amateur Four-Ball in 2017, the third edition of that new tournament. With the long-rumored U.S. Amateur officially headed to Pinehurst, attention now turns to the return of the U.S. Open. In June, outgoing Pinehurst president Don Padgett II said he expected it wouldn’t be long. “Do we know exactly which year? No,” Padgett said. “But they’re coming back, and we’ll probably host an Amateur before we host an Open.” The USGA has awarded Opens through 2021, with The Country Club in Brookline, Mass., expected to host in 2022 and Los Angeles Country Club in 2023. Also on the Sandhills golf radar: The Women’s Open could return to Pine Needles Lodge and Golf Club for a fourth time at some point in that rough time frame, potentially as early as 2020.

Hall of Fame QB Jim Kelly gets, gives inspiration

Wells: Brady knew about footballs News Services

NEW YORK The lawyer who investigated the New England Patriots insisted Tuesday that he found direct evidence to show quarterback Tom Brady knew team employees were deflating footballs. Miffed by criticism from Brady’s agent, Ted Wells decided to hold a conference call with reporters, a day after the NFL suspended the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player for the season’s first four games based on the report. Wells said his findings would have been strong enough to convince a jury under the “preponderance of evidence” st andard, which is used in many civil cases. Wells released his report last Wednesday, asserting it was “more probable than not” that Brady “was at least generally aware” of plans by two team employees to prepare the balls to his liking, below the league-mandated minimum of 12.5 pounds per square inch. Wells specifically mentioned two series of text exchanges between officials’ locker room attendant Jim McNally and equipment assistant John Jastremski. In one, McNally referred to himself as “the Deflator” and joked about going to ESPN. In another, Jastremski mentioned speaking to Brady the previous night, saying the quarterback knew McNally was stressed out by needing to deflate the balls.

“That is not circumstantial evidence,” Wells said. “That is two of the participants in a scheme discussing what has taken place.” Wells said the Patriots were cooperative, with two major exceptions: declining a request for a second interview with McNally, and Brady’s refusal to turn over phone records

CHARLOTTE Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly stole the show during the second day of the 2015 NFL Draft when he had the honor of announcing the Buffalo Bills’ second-round pick. After a lengthy standing ovation as he made his way to the stage, Kelly – who only a year ago was fighting jaw and sinus cancer – used his time at the lectern to share news that he is officially cancer free. On Tuesday, speaking at a luncheon hosted by the Charlotte Touchdown Club, the only quarterback to ever lead his team to four-consecutive Super Bowls turned in another applause-worthy performance. But before he did so, the 55-year-old took a moment to speak to reporters and addressed the response he received back on April 1 at the draft in Chicago. “I didn’t expect it,” said Kelly, who added that he is still cancer free. “I was humbled. I wasn’t sure of the reception since I walked out with (NFL Commissioner) Roger Goodell, so I wasn’t sure what was going to happen. “But it was awesome. To have my wife and my daughters there that day was very special because it was my first draft, too. I’ve never been before. When I played they didn’t have all the hoopla that they have now, and it was fun.” Kelly was at home with his agent and parents when he was drafted 14th overall back in 1983. After being introduced by Georgia Bulldogs coach Mark Richt – who backed up Kelly at the University of Miami when the two were in college – Kelly took questions on everything from what it was like to grow up with five brothers, to his battle with cancer, to coping with the loss of his son, Hunter, who was born with globoid-cell leukodystrophy. “I’m just here to get people to understand the never-give-up attitude,” said Kelly, who recovered from a career-

threatening arm injury his senior year at Miami to become one of the best quarterbacks of all time. “The bottom line for me is to make sure that people know that when you surround yourself with good people that good things will happen,” Kelly said. Following the Q & A, Kelly turned the tables on the room and asked some trivia questions of his own, tossing signed footballs across the Westin Charlotte ballroom to those brave enough to answer. Incorrect answers and drops resulted in $100 dollar donations to charity. Before tossing out his first ball, Kelly made a point to squeeze it tight, and then jokingly complained that it was way too inflated, referencing the ‘deflategate’ scandal currently surrounding quarterback Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. The joke got far-and-way the largest laugh of the afternoon. After the festivities, Kelly spoke to reporters more seriously about the fourgame suspension of Brady, as well as the

fines and loss of draft picks levied on the Patriots earlier this week. “(The Patriots and Brady) had to pay the price unfortunately,” Kelly said. “It didn’t go the way they wanted it, but when you bend the rules like that – Tom’s a very good friend of mine – things happen. “The good thing about it is that (Tom’s) going to at least miss the Buffalo Bills game, because they play each other in the second game of the season. I think four games is tough, two might be good, one, definitely wouldn’t be enough,” he added with a chuckle. Kelly added that he’s still got six months of MRIs to undergo before he can officially be considered in remission. “The people that come up to me after engagements like this and say how much I’ve inspired them, I want them to know that what they say to me helps inspire me to keep fighting and never give up,” said Kelly. “Make a difference today for someone who is fighting for tomorrow,” he said.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

So much for Roger Goodell’s long-suspected favoritism toward Robert Kraft and the New England Patriots. That was put to rest late Monday afternoon when the NFL announced it was suspending Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for the first four games of the 2015 season, taking No. 1 and No. 4 draft choices from the team and fining the franchise $1 million because of Deflategate. Good for Goodell. This was one of the commissioner’s better days. It’s not that Goodell had much choice. Too many people, inside the NFL and out, were watching. There long has been a belief around the league, including at Pittsburgh Steelers headquarters, that Goodell was too cozy with Kraft,

the Patriots owner. One NFL insider described Kraft as “an assistant commissioner” in a GQ article in January about Goodell. O n t h e eve o f A F C Championship Game, Goodell attended a party at Kraft’s home and was photographed arm-inarm with Kraft . That prompted outrage from Seattle Seahawks cornerBrady back Richard Sherman, whose team was to play the Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX. “Talk about a conflict of interest,” he said what many were thinking. Goodell acknowledged his fondness for Kraft on a personal level but promised to oversee a thorough investigation of Deflategate. That seemed like just so much rheto-

ric until Monday afternoon when the NFL announced its punishment. Kraft looks like a fool. At the Super Bowl, he demanded an apology from the NFL for making the Patriots endure such a frivolous investigation. Brady looks like a liar. He vehemently denied any wrongdoing with the footballs. But what happened to those balls isn’t what’s important. But Brady assured he would get a long suspension by refusing to cooperate with independent investigator Ted Wells. Who knows what he was trying to hide when he wouldn’t turn over his cell phone records? What we do know is Brady is out for four games, pending appeal, of course. Brady’s reputation also is damaged beyond recognition. He and coach Bill Belichick always will be in the same dubious Hall of Shame.

Tampa Bay ousts final Canadian team Associated Press

Stephen Klah, left, and Vincent Torgah, of Ghana, wait to tee off at the U.S. Open qualifier at Duke University Golf Club. The pair scrambled to get to Durham from Las Vegas, where they were practicing.

QUALIFIER CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Darkwah, who attended Duke and lives in Durham, is hosting the golfers. Torgah and Klah will stay in the U.S. and play in an eGolf Gateway Tour tournament later this month at Albemarle Plantation in Hertford. In the meantime, they’ll jet back to Las Vegas, saying they’re unable to find a Triangle-area course willing to allow them to practice and play at minimal cost. “It’s a very long way here, but that aspect doesn’t affect me that much because I know I’m a good player,” Klah said. “No matter how far the journeys, I will make it.”

Golf exposure Klah, 28, had two birdies, four bogeys and two double-bogeys Tuesday. Torgah, who played with Klah, had four birdies but also three bogeys and a double-bogey. “The course was in excellent condition,” Torgah said. “This was my first time playing on these greens, which were fast. But that’s OK. I can manage it if I stay here for long.” Torgah, 29, won the 2014 Gold Fields PGA of Ghana championship, is a four-time winner of the Moanda Open in Gabon and has victories in Nigeria. Klah, who plays out of Achimota Golf Club near Accra, the Ghana capital, was

second in the Gold Fields event in December. Both have tried unsuccessfully in the past to qualify for the British Open and were in their first U.S. Open qualifier. Both believe in time they can return and qualify for the Web.com or PGA Tour. “If I have the chance to play more tournaments I will do it, because I have the game,” Torgah said. Another, perhaps loftier goal is to gain added exposure for golf in their country by representing Ghana in a Summer Olympics. “That’s where we want our game to be, maybe not in 2016 but in 2020,” Torgah said.

PUTTER

I had. I wanted to fully commit to the short putter. I didn’t want to have (the long putter) there in case the (regulation) putter went bad. “The old one? It’s in the trophy case now.” With the rule change looming, anchored putters have basically vanished from the tour. Adam Scott, who won the Masters in 2013 with a long putter, has gone back and forth between long and short this season. He’s been using a long putter for the past several tournaments, including at the Masters. Scott will be joined by former N.C. State player Carl Pettersson, David Hearn and Kyle Reifers (Wake Forest) with the soon-to-be banned putters at Quail Hollow this week. “It just seemed like the sensible thing to do,” Scott said of his switch back to a long putter during the Masters in April. “I’m not here to just see what happens. I’m here to get the job done, and the odds are more in my favor of doing that with the longer putter considering I’ve used it the last four years.” Simpson is more willing than Scott to do his experimenting with the shorter putter during live competition. “I still have the rest of the year to work with it,” Simpson said. “I think this is the best time to do it. I mean, you can go play with it while you’re home in Charlotte (in the offseason) for two months. But a putting green is a lot different than a tournament. I think it’s better to experiment with it during the season; it’s a free test.” Switching to the regulation putter hasn’t affected Simpson’s statistics much except in one area: his strokes gained putting – minus .444 – is substantially off of his .301 mark of 2014. His putting average of 1.764 is nearly the same as in 2014 (1.765), and his putts per round average of 29.16 is marginally higher than his 28.83 a season ago.

TAMPA, Fla. Nikita Kucherov had two goals and an assist Tuesday night and the Tampa Bay Lightning advanced to the Eastern Conference finals with a 4-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens. Steven Stamkos scored his third goal of the playoffs for the Lightning, which closed out the secondround series in six games after Montreal fought off elimination in games 4 and 5. “This was our Game 7 tonight,” Stamkos said. “This is the biggest game of the playoffs for us and we responded.” Kucherov, who had an emptynetter, finished with six goals in the series. Ondrej Palat also had a goal and assist for Tampa Bay, which played without forward Ryan Callahan, who had an emergency appendectomy Monday night. Ben Bishop stopped 18 shots to outperform Carey Price, who finished with 24 saves. The Lightning, which won nine of 11 meetings against the Canadians this season including playoffs, will face either the New York Rangers or Washington Capitals in the conference finals. Those teams will meet Wednesday night in Game 7 of their second-round series. Montreal’s loss means the last of five Canadian-based teams that reached the postseason is eliminated from the playoffs. A Canadian-based team hasn’t won the Cup since Montreal did it in 1993. Stamkos, who urged his teammates to not play “scared” in trying to end the series and avoid a trip to Montreal for Game 7, scored from the slot to make it 2-0 early in the second period. Palat scored on the power play just over a minute before the second intermission. Bishop stopped Dale Weise on a

Cleveland, though, got a huge offensive rebound by Iman Shumpert before Irving, playing on a sprained right foot and sore left knee, made four free throws in the final 17 seconds. The Bulls were missing big man Pau Gasol, who sat out his second straight game with a strained left hamstring and didn’t sound confident before Game 5 that he’d be ready by Thursday. They also played the final 10:25 without Gibson, ejected for kicking Cavs guard Matthew Dellavedova. Gibson shoved Dellavedova to the floor and then kicked the scrappy backup, who angered the Bulls forward by clamping his legs around Gibson’s. Players on both teams exchanged shoves and pushes before the officials got things under control. Gibson could be facing further discipline from the league, and Dellavedova, too, might get slapped for his role. “I was surprised (to be ejected),” Gibson said. “I really just tried to release my foot because as soon as I got up off the ground, I just felt somebody tugging on my leg.”

New Orleans: The Pelicans fired

coach Monty Williams, parting ways with a coach who has a strong relationship with the franchise’s marquee player, Anthony Davis. General manager Dell Demps, who’ll lead the search for a new coach, said he informed Davis of the decision in a one-on-one meeting after the move was made. When a s ked ab o u t D av i s ’ re acti o n , Demps said, “That’ll stay between us.” Davis, already a two-time AllStar at age 22, is entering the final year of his contract before he becomes a restricted free agent. He can sign an extension as early as July, but also could choose to wait until next offseason. Basketball fans in New Orleans have seen one superstar – guard Chris Paul – become alienated by the handling of a coaching change. That was the firing of Byron Scott early in the 2009-10 season, when the team was under different ownership and management. Paul wound up being traded to the Los Angeles Clippers before the 2011-12 season after making it clear he would not sign an extension with New Orleans. Time will tell if Davis reacts similarly over the departure of Williams, who also has coached the Pelicans’ power forward as an assistant on Team USA.

LeBron nets 38 as Cavs top Bulls reduced to the “Banged-Up 2,” LeBron James again showed why he’s Cleveland’s one and only. James scored 38 points, Kyrie Irving added 25 and the Cavaliers held off Chicago’s charge in the fourth quarter for a 106-101 victory over the Bulls on Tuesday night to take a 3-2 lead in their testy Eastern Conference semifinal. Showing no ill effects from a sprained left ankle, James added 12 rebounds, six assists, three steals, three blocks and didn’t have a turnover in 41 minutes to ensure the Cavs will again play at home this season. “LeBron was just outstanding, every element of the game,” Cavs coach David Blatt said. “You can’t pick a thing he didn’t do at the highest level.” Cleveland can wrap up the bestof-seven series and advance to the conference finals for the first time since 2009 with a win in Game 6 on Thursday night back at United Center in Chicago, where the teams exchanged buzzer-beating victories la st weekend. The drama wasn’t quite as high in Game 5, but it was close. Jimmy Butler scored 29 and Mike Dunleavy 19 for Chicago.

Steve Montador: The former NHL defenseman had a degenerative brain disease that has been linked to repeated blows to the head, according to researchers who autopsied his brain. Montador died in February at age 35 of an undisclosed cause at his home in Mississauga, Ontario. He had multiple concussions during his career with six NHL teams and had been exhibiting signs of a possible brain disorder, including depression, memory problems and erratic behavior. His brain was donated to the Canadian Sports Concussion Project at Toronto’s Krembil Neuroscience Center for analysis. Dr. Charles Tator said Tuesday the autopsy showed widespread chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, throughout Montador’s brain. Montador’s family said they plan to launch a lawsuit against the NHL. Montador played for Calgary, Florida, Anaheim, Boston, Buffalo and Chicago. He had arranged for his brain to be donated to the Krembil Neuroscience Centre upon his death. The Sports Concussion Project has analyzed the brains of 16 athletes, with roughly half showing signs of CTE or the presence of another neurodegenerative disease. Chicago: Defenseman Michal Rozsival had surgery on his fractured left ankle and should return in three to four months. He was hurt when he lost his balance and fell backward during the second period of the Blackhawks’ 4-3 series-ending victory at Minnesota.

AL: Encarnacion has 2 HRs as Jays beat O’s Associated Press

BALTIMORE Edwin Encarnacion homered

twice and drove in three runs, Mark Buehrle threw six innings of four-hit ball Tuesday night and the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Baltimore Orioles 10-2. Encarnacion tied the game with a solo shot in the sixth inning and capped a four-run seventh with a drive off Tommy Hunter. It was his 19th career two-homer game and second this season – both against Baltimore. Josh Donaldson also homered and Ryan Goins had three hits for the Blue Jays, who scored the game’s final 10 runs. Rays 4, Yankees 2: Evan Longoria hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly during a two-run eighth inning and host Tampa Bay rallied to beat New York. Kevin Kiermaier drew a one-out walk in the eighth from Nathan Eovaldi (3-1) and went to third on Steven Souza Jr.’s single. Dellin Betances entered and gave up Longoria’s sac fly. Souza scored on Betances’ wild pitch to make it 4-2. Tampa Bay tied it at 2 on David DeJesus’ tworun single in the seventh. Tigers 2, Twins 1 (10): Ian Kinsler’s RBI single in the bottom of the 10th inning lifted host Detroit past Minnesota. Anthony Gose hit a one-out double off Ryan Pressly (1-1), and Kinsler followed with a flare that dropped into shallow center field.

the winning run with one out in the ninth inning, sending the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-3 victory over the slumping Atlanta Braves. The Reds snapped a three-game losing streak with a late comeback. The Braves let a 3-2 lead slip away in the seventh with the help of Mike Foltynewicz’s throwing error, and wound up losing for the fourth time in five games. Cubs 6, Mets 1: Jake Arrieta pitched eight sparkling innings, Kris Bryant homered for the second straight day and host Chicago spoiled Noah Syndergaard anticipated debut with a over New York .

NEW YORK Major League

Baseball pumped up security for its game balls this season in the wake of the Tom Brady flap. Starting this year, an MLB representative watches the baseballs while a clubhouse assistant carries them from the umpires’ room to the field. And if the supply runs low during the game, an MLB security person is now sent to retrieve more from the umps’ room. In the past, a ball boy or ball girl did those jobs alone. “ We c a n ’t d e f l at e ’e m , ” Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia said Sunday. “It’s precaution-

cussed by equipment managers in December at the winter meetings, before Brady and the New England Patriots were accused of deflating footballs in the AFC championship game. MLB said it was aware of the Patriots’ situation as it put the new procedures in effect. Brady was suspended for four games by the NFL on Monday for his role in the scandal. The Patriots were fined $1 million and lost two future draft picks. “Obviously, there’s not as much that you can do to baseballs,” Los Angeles Angels pitcher C.J. Wilson said. “I mean, you can’t change the density of the baseball at any point – unless you dunk them in water. Then they’re going to be

“If you’re playing on turf and a guy hits a screaming one-hopper to the shortstop, it’s going to have a huge scuff on it. Certain pitchers can create an advantage with that, so that’s why they throw those baseballs out,” Wilson said. Hoping to avoid a seamy situation, MLB sent a memo to all 30 teams before opening day with a nine-step procedure on ball handling. Along with the policy on storage – around 70 degrees, about 50 percent humidity – there were guidelines on chain of command. Home teams store the new balls during the season, and the umpires’ clubhouse attendants usually rub up about eight dozen for each game.

enforcement hired by an outside company to document balls and other game -used items, often to be sold or given to charities. If the ball supply is running out, a Resident Security Agent gets more. The RSAs also have police backgrounds and are hired by MLB. The plate umpire keeps several new balls in a pouch. When he needs more, he signals to the ball boys and ball girls. The ump puts each one in play, occasionally tossing out a ball before it ever gets into the game. “I’d say a ball averages only two pitches, and not too many things can happen when you foul a pitch into the stands,” Wilson said.

Berra celebrates 90th with return of rings Associated Press

LITTLE FALLS, N.J. As Yogi Berra might say, when you turn 90 you should celebrate it right the first time. The baseball Hall of Famer enjoyed his 90th birthday in grand style Tuesday, complete with a youth drum orchestra, a giant cake – and replicas of his 10 World Series rings and three AL MVP awards that were stolen last year. B e r ra , w h o w h e e l c h a i rbound, cut a ribbon but did not speak. Surrounded by family, he smiled for cameras. “It’s obviously a wonderful day,” said Dale Berra, Yogi’s son and the former major league in-

fielder. “It’s all about the way my dad carried himself all the time, with dignity, with respect of people. Not just opponents, but teachers, leaders. … My dad respected all people.” Known for Yogi-isms, such as “It ain’t over ‘till it’s over” and “When you come to a fork in the road, take it,” Berra became one of the most beloved professional athletes. A 15-time AllStar, Berra was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1972. “As a player, he was one thing, but I never got the chance to see him play,” Dale Berra said. “But as a father, he taught us to have the same humbleness that he has.” Former New York Yankees

and Mets catcher Rick Cerone was on hand along with former New York Jets running back Bruce Harper and National Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Carol Blazejowski, who played her college ball at Montclair State. Major League Baseball, the Yankees and the Mets – teams that Berra both played for and managed – arranged for the purchase of rings and plaques for the Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center on the campus of Montclair State University. New York and New Jersey declared Tuesday as “Yogi Berra Day,” and proclamations were presented to Berra from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. New York Yankees: Pitcher Masahiro Tanaka threw his first bullpen session since going on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right forearm and tendinitis in his right wrist. Minnesota: Outfielder Aaron Hicks was recalled fromClass AAA Rochester and outfielder Shane Robinson was placed on the family emergency list. St. Louis: Third baseman Matt Carpenter returned to the lineup after missing a weekend series because of fatigue. Baltimore: Infielder Ryan Flaherty returned to the 15-day disabled list with the same groin injury that recently kept him sidelined.

Marlins infielders upstaging outfield stars By Clark Spencer The Miami Herald

Some were saying before the season that the Miami Marlins had the best outfield in the majors. So far, though, their infield has shined brightest. With second baseman Dee Gordon tearing it up at the plate and third baseman Martin Prado and shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria swinging the bat well, it might be time for the Marlins’ infield to receive some national praise. “Right now, it seems like the whole infield has gotten hot at the same time,” manager Mike Redmond said. “I think we knew going in that we really liked our infield, and we knew the infield had a chance to produce offensively.” But no one could have foreseen Gordon’s red-hot start. Gordon’s 13-game hitting streak ended Monday night, but he still leads the majors with a .425 average. “Obviously, the start Dee Gordon’s had has been off the charts,” Redmond said. And who could have imagined Hechavarria sitting on a .298 average after starting the

season 1 for 22? There’s a reason the Marlins have Hechavarria batting eighth based on previous seasons. Prado, meanwhile, was hitting .294 after Monday with a pair of homers, or exactly as many as outfielders Marcell Ozuna and Christian Yelich put together. “You’re talking about (three) guys that have picked us up

huge and been a big reason for us winning games,” Redmond said. Only first baseman Michael Morse hasn’t held his own with the rest of the infielders, but he had three hits Monday and raised his average to .236. But remove Morse from the equation, and the infielders have easily outperformed the Marlins’ outfielders: Yelich,

Ozuna and Giancarlo Stanton, who was mired in a 4-for-25 slump on the trip with 11 strikeouts and was given a day off on Sunday. Based on advanced metrics formulas, the three infielders have vastly outperformed the Marlins’ three outfielders. WAR – or “wins above replacement” – more greatly values the infield trio over their outfield counterparts. According to WAR figures determined by baseball reference.com, the collection of Gordon, Hechavarria and Prado have an aggregate WAR of 4.2, and Gordon’s individual figure of 2.4 ranks third among all players in the majors. In contrast, the outfield of Stanton, Ozuna and Yelich have combined for a WAR of just 0.7. Not exactly best-outfield-inthe-majors kind of material. Stanton has been up and down but leads the team with seven homers and 29 RBI. Ozuna predicts the three outfielders will put it together before the season’s over. “The outfield is OK,” Ozuna said. “This is still the best outfield.”

Mayweather-Pacquiao sets PPV mark with 4.4 million buys LAS VEGAS Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny

Pacquiao proved a box office smash, even if their welterweight title fight didn’t live up to the hype. The May 2 fight obliterated the pay-per-view record, with 4.4 million buys generating more than $400 million in revenue. With a live gate of nearly $72 million and other revenue, the bout grossed more than $600 million and likely made Mayweather more than $200 million. Showtime and HBO officials reported the whopping PPV figures Tuesday, saying the fight broke the previous record of 2.48 million buys generated by Mayweather’s 2007 fight with Oscar De La Hoya by nearly 2 million buys. It also nearly tripled the record $150 million in pay-per-view revenue generated by Mayweather vs. Canelo Alvarez in 2013. m Tony Ayala Jr., a rising star in boxing before a 1983 rape conviction that led to the first of two prison terms, died Tuesday in his hometown of San Antonio. He was 52. There was no immediate cause of death. Ayala was 19 when he was arrested and convicted of raping a schoolteacher in New Jersey. He was undefeated and set to fight Davey Moore for a junior middleweight title before the arrest. After serving16 years of a 35-year term for rape, Ayala spent 10 more years in prison in Texas on a parole violation in another case. He was released last year. COLLEGE BASKETBALL

He was the top 3-point shooter in the ACC (42.4 percent) and paced the Hokies with 13.4 points a game. Smith is set to receive his bachelor’s degree this weekend, therefore he can play for the Yellow Jackets without sitting out a season. COLLEGE FOOTBALL

It happening at 3 a.m. and knowing everyone was asleep, that was eerily similar.” Tuesday’s game was postponed to rest battered bodies and shaken minds, but the Mudcats are scheduled to return from Myrtle Beach after playing there Wednesday and Thursday, so they’ll be right back on the bus.

not have been the worst thing for those who went through it. “To be on a bus pitching from side to side probably wasn’t the best thing, but it was probably a bit therapeutic to get through a nervy first ride like that,” said Owen Newkirk, the team’s playby-play broadcaster and mediarelations director that season. Teams at many levels – from high schools to colleges to the minor leagues – rely on buses to safely get them from place to place, and when that expectation of safety is shattered, road trips are never the same. When something like this happens, it’s shocking to everyone, and yet given the number of miles sports teams accumulate in buses, often in the mid-

dle of the night and in bad weather, it may actually be more surprising it doesn’t happen more often. What sticks with both Newkirk and Maddox is the realization it could have been so much worse. After the crash, the bus came to rest in one of the opposite travel lanes. The first few trucks to pass went zooming by in the night, narrowly missing the wrecked bus as its wounded passengers staggered into the snow. The Mudcats will know that feeling: the knowledge it could have been worse, the feeling of being thankful it wasn’t. DeCock: ldecock@newsobserver.com, @LukeDeCock, 919-829-8947

NCHSAA 4A Boys’ Golf Championship

Leesville Road’s Redman, Broughton runners-up

Millbrook, Wakefield reach tennis semifinals From staff reports

Millbrook High defeated New Hanover 5-1 to earn a rematch with Cap Eight 4A rival Wakefield in the semifinals of the N.C. High School Athletic Association boys dualteam championships. The Wildcats won Nos. 1, 3, 4 and 5 singles. Millbrook clinched the win when New Hanover defaulted No. 2 doubles when Patrick Senior went down with cramps. “You don’t like to win it that way,” said Millbrook coach Craig Isdahl. “But take them as they come.” The match was a tough one for the Wildcats with three of the singles going to tie-breakers. Millbrook’s No. 1 John Karlawish won 6-4, 6-2 over Marshall Waren. Millbrook’s Matthew Moody lost in a tiebreaker at No. 2 and Austin Cobb won in a tie-breaker at No. 3, 0-6, 6-3, 10-7. New Hanover’s Chris Dorn won in a tie-breaker at No. 6. Millbrook will play Wednesday at 4 p.m., at Wakefield, which won both regular-season matches. “I’ll tell our guys the same thing that I have told them before every match: focus on your court, play smart and go after it,” Isdahl said. “Wakefield has a strong team and it has a stable of outstanding players, but we are going to battle.” It took Carrboro’s tennis team longer to drive to and from Croatan High, 175 miles away, than it did for the Jaguars to net a 6-0 win over the previously undefeated Cougars (13-1) in the quarterfinals of NCHSAA 2A tennis tournament . Carrboro (11-1) plans to meet former Carolina 12 rival N.C. Science & Math (10-0) in a semifinals match Wednesday. Girls lacrosse: Apex upended previously undefeated Wakefield 15-13 in t h e t h i rd ro u n d o f t h e NCHSAA 4A tournament. Cardinal Gibbons will be at home against No. 3-ranked Apex. East Chapel Hill, No. 7 in the rankings, travels to Wilmington Hoggard in the fourth round. Boys lacrosse: Ravenscroft defeated Cannon School 13-7 to advance to the N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association semifinals. The No. 3 Ravens will play at secondseeded Charlotte Country Day on Thursday. The Ravens scored three goals in the first 2:03. Drew Davis led with five goals. In the NCHSAA 4A, soph-

omore Jared Medwar scored six goals and freshman Owen Caputo added three as Middle Creek (13-5) advanced to the fourth round with a 13-8 victory over Enloe. Apex downed Durham Riverside 17-2. The 4A semifinals have Athens Drive at Apex and Leesville Ro a d g o i n g t o M i d d l e Creek. In the 1A/2A/3A playoffs, Chapel Hill, which nipped Carrboro 8-7, plays at Cardinal Gibbons and Cedar Ridge travels to Jacksonville Northside. Chapel Hill’s Brent Voelkel side-armed a shot in from 20 yards out with 44.4 seconds left to play for the game-winning goal. Voelkel finished the second-round game with two goals and an assist, while Mike Wasson, who fed him on the decisive shot, had Tiger team highs of three goals and two assists. Softball: Panther Creek pulled the upset of the NCHSAA 4A softball tournament first round with a 2-1 victory over Middle Creek. The Mustangs (16-2) were No. 1 in the N&O rankings. Panther Creek, 9-10, is the No. 30 seed. Green Hope was eliminated by Southern Alamance, 2-0. Baseball: Green Hope’s Vincent Addona hit a tworun double in the bottom of the seventh inning to give the Falcons a 3-2 first round NCHSAA 4A baseball victory over Durham Riverside. Leesville Road, the Cap 8 champ, went eight innings before nipping league foe Sanderson 1-0 in another playoff opener. Andrew Papp pitched a complete game and drove in the game’s only run. Fuquay-Varina clipped Harnett Central 6-5 to set up a second-round showdown with Green Hope. Reid Herring threw a complete-game shutout at East Chapel Hill, leading Millbrook to a 5-0 upset win. Herring (5-4) struck out 11 batters and walked just one, scattering five hits over a full seven innings. Scott McKeon paced Millbrook (15-9) by going 3-3 with two RBIs, while Alex Royalty had two hits. Stachowiak honored: Nick Stachowiak, the 4A tennis s i n g l e s c h a m p i o n , wa s named NCHSAA Performance of the Week winner. Golf: Defending NCHSAA 2A boys golf champion Cole Jefferys shot a 145 to win the championship by 10 strokes. Newton-Conover shot a 648 and won its third straight team title.

By Tom Shanahan Stephen Saleeby and his teammates felt confident they could make up four strokes on first-day leader Charlotte Myers Park to capture their third state golf team title in four years. Their hunch was partially correct as their low four scores Tuesday combined for an impressive even-par 288 to make up six shots on Myers Park, but the Capitals were forced to settle for a runner-up finish in the N.C. High School Athletic Association 4A boys’ golf at Pinehurst. Pinecrest, which started the final round in second place, was even hotter than Broughton on an 86-degree day with a 4-under 284. The Patriots won the two-day event over Broughton, 586 to 592. Myers Park was third at 594. “ We thought we could win,” Saleeby said. “We thought we could get after the golf course. We didn’t give up and fought hard, but it wasn’t enough.” Pinecrest was led by state individual champion Eric Bae. He followed up a 2-under 70 on Monday at Pinehurst No. 2, where the statue of 1999 U.S. Open winner Payne Stewart overlooks the No. 18 green, with anoth-

Leesville Road’s Doc Redman finished second despite a 2-under 70 Tuesday.

er 2-under 70 on Pinehurst No. 4. Bae, a junior who has comm i tt e d t o Wa ke Fo re s t , should sound familiar to Triangle high school golf fans. He played at Athens Drive last year, and his sister Sarah won the 2012 state 4A title for Athens Drive. They are the first brother-sister pair to win NCHSAA golf titles. Leesville Road’s Doc Red-

man, a junior committed to Clemson, finished as the runner-up. He was the leader in the clubhouse with a 2-under 142 for more than an hour until Bae finished in the secondto-last group. “The greens were a little softer the second day,” Redman said. “You could be aggressive with the pins and go after the par 5s.” He played the four par 5s in

4 under with two birdies and an eagle on No. 13. Moments after Broughton’s players suffered a letdown when they learned they finished second, Saleeby had to march to the first tee for a sudden-death playoff. Saleeby and Greenville D.H. Conley’s Bryce Hendrix shot identical rounds of 73-70 for a 1-under 143 to tie third. “It was tough, but I had to refocus,” Saleeby said. “It was emotional for us four seniors not to win it our last year.” Both players were on the par-4 first hole in two, but Hendrix sank a 32-foot birdie putt and Saleeby just missed a 10-footer. The top four individuals earned medals. Broughton’s other three Tuesday scores were senior Harrison Rhoades, 70 for a 147 total; sophomore Jimbo Stanley, 74–151; and senior Preyer Fountain, 74–154. Freshman Patrick Carlin claimed one of the state’s two sportsmanship awards. “He made all-conference for us while playing for an injured” Rhoades, coach Anderson Marlowe said. “But he stepped aside for a senior and never complained.”

NCHSAA 3A Boys’ Golf Championship

SOUTHERN PINES Even with a final-round 65 Tuesday, Patrick Stephenson knew it probably wasn’t going to be enough to make up 18 spots on the leader board at the NCHSAA 3A boys’ golf championships. The South Johnston junior’s blazing round made up all but one of those positions on the leader board. His 6-under round with six birdies and no bogeys earned him a second-place finish, even with an opening-day 75. Stephenson came in at 2 under for the 36-hole tournament on a 6,513-yard Longleaf Golf and Country Club layout. Nick Lyerly of East Rowan had a 67 to come in at 4 under and take the state championship. “There were too many good players out here for it to hold up,” Stephenson said of his score, which was posted more than two hours before Lyerly finished. “I knew I gave it away” Monday. Stephenson said the key Tuesday was wedge play. He spent a few hours Monday afternoon at the Pinehurst practice facilities working on his wedge game. His round included a triple-bogey after he hit his tee shot out of bounds on the 180-yard, par-3, 13th and a pair of uncharacteristic bogeys. “I made two bogeys from the middle of the fairway with a wedge in my hand,” Stephenson said. “But the work I did on the range paid off today.” He got a lucky break on the No. 17 when his tee shot sailed wide of the fairway, took a bounce off of the cart path and came to rest just a few inches from the out of bounds line.

out and hitting his third shot on the par-5 hole to 20 feet, he just missed a birdie putt. “I had a lot of opportunities today with wedges from the fairway, really hit my driver well both days,” Stephenson said. “Anything within 10 feet or so, I was really on putting, made a lot of those length birdie putts.” The East Carolina recruit posted four straight pars to open his round Tuesday, then he birdied the two par-5s on the front nine. He birdied Nos. 10 and 13 to get to even par. Birdies on the 16th and 18th got him under par for the tournament. “Patrick had a totally different demeanor today than he did yesterday,” said South Johnston coach Daniel Ben-

son. “He made great wedge shots, the shots he didn’t hit in the first round. He rolled in a couple of 20-foot par putts, which make a huge difference. He played a lot more aggressive today at the right times.” Gastonia Forestview shot 290 Tuesday to take the team championship by f i ve s t ro ke s ove r E a s t Rowa n (585-590). Waxhaw Marvin Ridge (594) was third. Corinth Holders recorded its third straight top-six finish, tying Rockingham County for sixth at 620. Continuing the consistency theme of the Pirates’ season, they posted 310s on both days. Sam Baxter led Corinth Holders with a 5-over 147, and Kellen LaBonte came in at 13 over and Monty Fields was 14 over. “We were hoping for a little bit better finish, but we just didn’t have those great couple of rounds we needed each day,” said Pirates coach Theresa Gale. “We’re proud, but you know it just could have been a little better.” Corinth Holders was just four strokes above its season 18-hole scoring average both days on a championship stage where team scores typically trend higher than normal. Cardinal Gibbons finished 10th at 643. Chuck Swoboda led the Crusaders with a two-day total of 154. Cameron Delahunty added a 16-over 158. Dalton Mauldin of Lee County was in a four-way tie for third. He shot 71s on both days. Best: 919-524-8895; Twitter: @dclaybest

Holly Springs, Heritage name coaches By Tim Stevens

tstevens@newsobserver.com

Ravenscroft School assistant football coach Dewayne Washington was named coach at Heritage High on Monday and Holly Springs assistant Robert Furth was named as the Golden Hawks’ coach on Tuesday. Both are expected to lead their squads through a 10-day spring practice this month. Washington is a former Northern Durham High, N.C. State and NFL standout as a defensive back. He has been an assistant for Ravens coach Ned Gonet for three seasons. Washington’s son, D.J., is student body president at Ravenscroft and is not expected to transfer to Heritage. “I think that you are seeing a trend among former pro players going into high school coaching so they can make a difference in young people’s lives,” Dewayne Washington said. “I know that is why I’m doing it. I want to have an impact on young people and to be there when they need me.” Washington was a high school All-America selection at Northern Durham, where he played for Ken Browning. Washington was a standout at N.C. State and played 12 years in the NFL, four years each with the Minnesota Vikings and Pittsburgh Steelers and one each with Jacksonville and Kansas City. He believes he is inheriting a solid program. The Huskies were 8-4 in 2014. “I think Jason McGeorge built a great foun-

dation at Heritage,” Washington said. “I have talked a lot with Charles Johnson (a former Steelers teammate and current Heritage assistant). The processes are in place.” The Heritage staff will have three former NFL players – Washington, Johnson and former N.C. State receiver Torry Holt, whose son will be a freshman at Heritage. “But we can’t play,” Washington said and laughed. “We probably couldn’t survive one practice.” Furth, like Washington, is a former N.C. State player. He was a running back for coach Dick Sheridan and was a graduate assistant coach at the school for three years. He coached for Gary Fowler at Clayton High, at Fayetteville State, back at Clayton, at Cary and at Holly Springs under Wayne Bragg, who resigned after a single season. “One of the biggest reasons I wanted the head coaching job was continuity for the kids,” Furth said. “I will be their third coach in four years. I want to put down roots here and be here as long as they will have me.” Bragg was establishing a solid program, Furth said, and he wants to continue it. “Wayne did a tremendous job with the players, parents and community in communicating our goals,” Furth said. “The wins and losses come and go, but being on the team has to be a positive experience. Hopefully, they will learn a lot of look back with good memories.”

Daily Horoscope

RHYMES WITH ORANGE

BY JERALDINE SAUNDERS ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may be forced to work hard to keep that other one tenth in your hands. Be responsible, but don’t be critical of others who aren’t as passionate as you are about your rights to ownership. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): He who hesitates may be wise. Act with some formality and maintain a respectful distance when dealing with older people or those in authority. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There may be an awkward moment. Perhaps you brought the wrong shoes for a hike because it was taken for granted that you were familiar with the terrain. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Lighten up. Serious matters may require your undivided attention, but it won’t be the end of the world if you make a minor mistake. Don’t sign crucial contracts. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you take the lead, you could end up at the end of the line. Use a little more diplomacy than usual when handling difficult situations. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Someone besides you may have a valid point. You might not wish to accept the rules or regulations, but you must abide by them. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When you have extra dollars in your pocket, it’s easy to make generous gestures. Question whether you’re doing good things for others or just to bolster your reputation. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Keep an eye on the future. It will pay to watch and learn, whether it is love or finance that is on your mind. The rules of commerce advise you to buy low and sell high. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Accept constructive criticism with good grace, and focus on upholding values. You may have a blind spot, or you’re being too defensive or conservative at the wrong time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Once you get your hands on an idea or a project, you can visualize all the possibilities. You understand that to strike a perfect agreement both sides must benefit from the arrangement. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Grudge matches may develop. Those aren’t much fun, so do everything in your power to avoid competitions. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Irritations could prove costly. If you keep hammering your point, you might end up with a sore thumb. Avoid confrontations or being abrasive in social situations. IF MAY 13 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: The coming three to four weeks can be challenging because you may make poor decisions based on wishful thinking. Hold off until late June or early July, when the future looks rosier, to make major decisions or changes. Take a vacation or a weekend getaway in August, when friendships blossom and romance is on your mind. Buckle down in September.

BIZARRO

ARGYLE SWEATER

Today’s deal from a bygone U.S. trials saw the Seymon Deutsch team take on the Jeff Wolfson team in the semifinal stage. Both tables reached three no-trump, and Wolfson went one down on a spade lead after an unopposed auction, when he tested hearts then led the diamond queen from dummy. By contrast, Chip Martel for Deutsch had the benefit of an informative auction. He won the spade 10 at trick one and tested hearts, pitching a club from hand, then reassessed the position. He needed the diamond king onside, but since neither opponent had introduced spades, a 4-4-4-1 shape on his right was quite plausible. Playing the diamond queen would lose out to a singleton king, but if he were to play a low diamond from dummy and the king was in a three-card or longer holding, he would have had to lose an unnecessary diamond trick. Martel correctly led a small diamond from dummy, and the appearance of the king brought him up to eight tricks: three diamonds, two spades and three hearts. But he still needed both to lead to his club king and to set up a spade trick without giving the defense five winners. So he ran three rounds of diamonds, ending in hand, East keeping all four clubs and one spade. Now Martel played the spade king, which was ducked, then led a diamond to dummy and a club toward his hand for his ninth trick. Had East kept two spades and three clubs, Martel would have built himself a club trick first before tackling spades.

Tell Me About It

Carolyn Hax to take her life for granted, or expect that she is guaranteed some things in her life, and this really bugs me. But if it’s just a matter of not verbalizing gratitude, OK, I can get that. I think. – Judgy? Carolyn Says: Or she’s genuinely unhappy. It can of course happen amid gaudy equity, lovely kids, an attentive spouse, a flexible career, stable finances and ambitious travel; just because these have societal value doesn’t mean they’re valuable to her. And just because the decisions were “very-thoughtout” doesn’t mean they were the right ones for her. If a person’s baseline understanding of herself is a degree or two off, then her choices can lead her, over the years, hundreds of miles off-course. What if she doesn’t get along with her husband, or feels unsuited to at-home parenthood, or answered her ambitions while neglecting her soul? These deep investments she has made can easily sag into burdens. On top of this – as I continue to argue for sympathy toward an affluent whiner, I do

so love my job – there’s the additional weight a person can feel when making (supposedly) all the right choices results in misery. Who will weep with her in her freshly remodeled beach house? Who will help her understand why she feels like nothing while having everything? Whom can she blame but herself? Granted, this is but one possibility, and the ones you touched on yourself are just as possible. Could be, too, that she’s bored or adrift, having arrived too early at her life’s destination. Or her good fortune has metastasized into entitlement. Old stories all. But since she’s your friend, try saying something that doesn’t prejudge, and instead reflects only the facts you have in hand. “You appear so fortunate from the outside,” you can say, “but when we talk you’re often down about something.” (Give examples here of anything trivial; i.e., not her fertility struggles.) Then you ask, “Are you OK?” Do hold up a mirror for her, yes, but in a loving way. That makes it about her well-being, whereas judging would be about you. Send email to Carolyn Hax at tellme@washpost.com.

Q&A

Q: I eat steel-cut oats for breakfast. To save energy and time in the morning, I bring them to a boil the night before, then leave it out, covered, overnight. Is this safe? A: Just because a dish doesn’t have something we consider perishable, such as a dairy or animal product, we sometimes assume it’s safe at any temperature. But when water is added to a dry food, that’s not the case. Benjamin Chapman, the food safety specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension, says leaving warm oatmeal out overnight is risky. “Depending on how much water is added, + and if there’s a pathogen in the dry oats (like

Baseball Tonight (N) (Live)

Hold up mirror in a loving way Dear Carolyn: I have a friend who, by most any measure, has a lot to be thankful for. She has two lovely children and a husband. She’s able to work only part time (though she hasn’t gone back since child No. 2). They own their home outright and just bought a second in a beach neighborhood where they'll move once they remodel it. They travel to see family in far-flung places. Mostly, though, when we talk, she’s complaining about something. Not everything, just something. Whatever happens to be consuming her at the moment. Admittedly, these things are sometimes big (difficulty getting pregnant), but there is ALWAYS some sort of struggle consuming her, possibly for months at a time. And I rarely, if ever, hear gratitude. This strikes me as … off. She’s made conscious, verythought-out decisions about family, home and other aspects of her life, so it’s not like she just ended up here and doesn’t know how. Can I say to her, “Are you grateful for (fill in blank)? I’ve been wondering because I don’t really hear you mention it.” Or is that really judgy? I honestly want to know, because I find I’m liking her less without knowing. She seems

Begin a 4-week challenge for better health To Your Health

Shelly Wegman

Here are four challenges to help you improve your health one week at a time.

Week 1: Eat More Vegetables Aim for three-to-five servings of vegetables a day. Vegetables are a great source of vitamins and minerals and provide antioxidants and phytochemicals that fight cancers. A serving is 1⁄2 cup cooked vegetable or 1 cup leafy greens. Add a large salad at lunch and get in 2 servings. Add a handful of spinach to your scrambled egg for breakfast. Grill some asparagus for dinner or snack on some carrots, celery and broccoli with hummus. Fill half of your plate with vegetables to help with portion control.

Week 2: Less Added Sugar I’m talking about the added sugar in

candy, desserts, pastries and beverages, such as tea, soda, juice drinks and coffee drinks. Recommendations are for no more than 6 teaspoons sugar per day for women and 9 teaspoons per day for men. One 12-ounce soda has up to 10 teaspoons of sugar. Some cereals have as much as 4 or 5 teaspoons of added sugar per serving, so check the label. Cut out candy, desserts and sweetened beverages for one week and see how you feel. Often people report they don’t get that “afternoon slump” and they have better energy levels. Try these snacks instead: Freeze grapes when you want something cold and sweet. Add berries to your oatmeal. Have an apple with some peanut butter.

start with just a few minutes each day. Park farther away at work or when you go to the store. Take a yoga class. Use the stairs instead of the elevator. Work in the garden. Go dancing.

Week 4: Eat more at home

Try to eat one more meal a week at home. Between work, school and children’s activities, it’s easy to find yourself dining out more often. Eating outside the home costs more and you don’t have as much control over your food choices. Instead, try these suggestions: Grill some extra chicken and toss it into a salad with some strawberries for lunch the next day. Cut up fruit or grab those frozen grapes and some cheese to take to the kid’s sports practice. Make homemade Week 3: Exercise pizza. The recommendation is 150 minutes Take the challenge and take control of activity per week.

International flavors a winning game-day recipe

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

It’s wonderful. Farmers markets are going to have to bank on direct relationships customers have with farmers.” George O’Neal, owner of Lil’ Farm and president of the Durham Farmers’ Market board, agrees but worries that local food’s allure is being diluted by chain restaurants that promise “farm fresh veggies” on their buffets and produce delivery services that sell bananas alongside North Carolina produce. “Don’t be fooled by the marketing,” urged O’Neal. “Go have a connection with an actual farmer.” To stay robust, markets have to adapt. That’s why Pellegrini and the Western Wake Farmers Market have made some strategic decisions for the future. The market added a second location at the UNC Wellness Center at Northwest Cary. The market also partnered with the town of Morrisville to move its original location at Carpenter Village to near Town Hall in two to three years. My hope for the Triangle’s farmers market scene is that people realize markets aren’t just places to do the grocery shopping. They are community events and even define our communities.

I have absolutely zero interest in football, basketball, or baseball – so for me, gatherings around game days are all about the food. The spread always includes a few of the grubby, nostalgic snacks we grew up with – cheesy queso dip, I’m looking at you – as well as some fresher, lighter snacks that often incorporate flavors from one of the many international cuisines that surround me in Los Angeles. You’re looking at my contribution right now: a Korean take on the usual pulledmeat slider; a juicy sandwich loaded with gingery, chilespiked shredded chicken and tender kale braised with garlicky kimchi. These sliders were inspired by a one-sheet-pan roast of cubed winter squash and boneless, skinless chicken thighs marinated in a mix-

ture that included gochujang (Korean red pepper paste), ginger, toasted sesame oil and sherry vinegar. Motivated, I decided to incorporate a similar combination into my usual braised chicken-thigh routine the following week. A bag of kale, a pouch of Trader Joe’s kimchi and a seeded baguette on the verge of going stale led to an incredible discovery: a new sandwich, near-perfect the first time around. I’ve revamped the recipe as sliders, although the fillings can also be used to make fullsize sandwiches or even tacos. Game day or no game day – this sandwich is a yearround keeper.

KOREAN CHICKEN SLIDERS WITH BRAISED KALE AND KIMCHI FOR THE CHICKEN: 2 tablespoons gochujang 1 tablespoon rice vinegar 2 teaspoons soy sauce 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1 cup water 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 6 small thighs) 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 2-inch piece of fresh ginger, washed and cut into 1/4-inch coins

5 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly smashed FOR THE KALE: 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1/2 cup cabbage kimchi, chopped 4 ounces kale leaves, thick ribs and stems removed, chopped (5 cups chopped) 3/4 cup water 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce 12 small slider buns or dinner rolls Mayonnaise

Whisk together the gochujang, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil and sugar in a small bowl until smooth. Whisk in the water and set aside. Heat the vegetable oil In a 10-inch pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown the chicken thighs and set aside on a plate. Pour the gochujang mixture into the pot and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add the ginger and garlic, followed by the chicken and any accumulated juices. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the pot and bring mixture to a boil. Lower heat, cover and let simmer for 30 minutes, turning chicken halfway through cooking. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, make the kale. In a large skillet with a lid, warm the oil over medium-high heat. Add the kimchi and stir-fry for about 30 seconds, until hot and fragrant. Add the kale, water and soy sauce, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and cover. Simmer covered for 30 minutes, or until kale is very tender. Taste and add more soy sauce if needed. (If making ahead, kale mixture can be covered and refrigerated at this point.) Transfer the chicken thighs to a bowl and use two forks to shred meat. Pour 1/4 cup of the braising liquid over the meat and mix. (If making ahead, chicken can be covered and refrigerated at this point. Reheat before assembling sliders.) To assemble, place a sheet pan in the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Arrange slider buns cut-side down on preheated sheet pan and bake for 3 to 5 minutes, until lightly toasted. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom bun and top with the chicken, followed by the kale mixture and top bun. Repeat with remaining buns. Serve immediately. Notes: Both the chicken and kale can be made up to one day ahead. Reheat before assembling sandwiches. Chicken and kale mixture can also be used to fill tacos. Use corn tortillas and tamari in place of soy sauce for a gluten-free option. Yield: 12 sliders.

Readers share their secrets Food

Kathleen Purvis

Yes, it is true: People love their flavor-bumpers. Those are the little boxes, bottles and squirters we keep around to toss in when we need to add a little more flavor to things. I confessed a few of mine in a recent column. And before my use of Zatarain’s Concentrate gets me booted out of the foodwriting corps, I should point out that I have recently made my own bitters and both red and white wine vinegars. I’m not a complete lost cause to the ideal of cooking from scratch. Still, that column did bring out a lot of other fans of flavor tricks: m Speaking of bitters, I heard from several people who use Angostura bitters in interesting ways, from potato and chicken salads to soups and stews. M.M. Teague of Hickory said her father used to make a little well in his dish of homemade vanilla ice cream and pour in a little bitters. “This really enhances the ice cream’s flavor in a very pleasant manner.” m Moreton Neal, who’s well known in the Chapel Hill area for her food knowledge, suggests using dry vermouth when a recipe calls for white wine. “Whenever I think a soup or stew needs a mysterious quality I call ‘Frenchiness,’ I add a little (dry) vermouth. It’s also good for correcting too much salt in a dish.” m Raleigh reader Molly McNeill keeps taco seasoning in a shaker container. She chops leftover chicken or beef, sautes it in a little oil and adds a shake of taco seasoning (without water). “You are ready for quesadillas, tacos, etc.” m Lee Smith of Apex discovered Swad Coriander Chutney at a store that specializes in Indian foods. She adds it to curries, baked potatoes, even macaroni & cheese. “Everything is fair game.” m Meredith Indermaur of Raleigh is a fan of Maggi Seasoning in the liquid form. “Just a few drops adds amazing umami flavor to soups, sauces, veggies, well everything.” She once heard a story on National Public Radio about how people all over the world use Maggi, made in Switzerland. “Chinese people viewed it as a Chinese flavoring, people in Morocco viewed it as a Moroccan flavoring, and so on.” m Laine Lipson of Pittsboro uses Bragg Liquid Aminos, a natural substitute for soy sauce. “I use it on brown rice instead of soy sauce. It has less salt and, believe it or not, 1⁄2 teaspoon has 0 calories.” m Suzy Winters of Charlotte uses mirin, the Japanese sweetSEE PURVIS, PAGE 2C

After long growth, farmers markets slide SOME LARGER TRIANGLE MARKETS SEE VISITOR NUMBERS PLATEAU, OR EVEN FALL

couple of headlines earlier this year grabbed my attention: “Has the Farmers Market Movement Peaked?” ran in the Los Angeles Times, and “Are Farmers Market Sales Peaking?” appeared on NPR’s The Salt blog. The headlines were based on a U.S. Department of Agriculture report from January that showed while more farmers are selling directly to consumers, what consumers are spending has decreased slightly. Here are the details: Chew Between 2007 and On This 2012, the number of Andrea farmers selling directWeigl ly to consumers increased 5.5 percent, while the value of sales declined by 1 percent. (These sales include transactions at farmers markets, roadside stands, pick-your-own farms and community-supported agriculture subscriptions.) For a little historical context, between 2002 and 2007, the number of farmers selling directly to consumers increased 17 percent and the value of sales increased 32 percent. In other words, today we have more farmers splitting the same pot of money.

The Triangle’s about 30 farmers markets are holding steady but not immune to the trend. A few managers of the larger markets say they have seen attendance plateau or decrease slightly. Attendance at Raleigh’s state-run farmers market off Lake Wheeler Road peaked at 3.7 million people in fiscal year 2013, up from 3.3 million in 2010. Last year’s attendance was down slightly by 33,000, or less than 1 percent. Few local markets track sales numbers or are willing to share them. But one market that does is the Western Wake Farmers’ Market whose board president is Jim Pellegrini, owner of Muddy Dog Roasting Co. Pellegrini, who has an MBA from Duke University, had the market start tracking sales numbers as well as attendance a few years ago. What Pellegrini sees is worrying. At last year’s opening weekend, customers spent

$15,000; this year, it was $12,000. Attendance also has decreased at the market. “It’s down. It’s real,” Pellegrini said. He added: “We are not weak. I’m sounding the alarm bell now, because I’m worried about the 20-year trend.” Pellegrini identified several reasons for this trend, which were echoed by managers and farmers at other Triangle markets. In January, for the first time, Americans spent more money on food at restaurants than at grocery stores. Plus, more people are spending money on produce delivery services, like Papa Spud’s and Produce Box. Finally, farmers markets aren’t new anymore. “We find it harder to be exciting,” said Erin Jobe, manager at the Carrboro Farmers’ Market, the area’s longest running farmer-run market. “There are so many ways to get local food.

Sarah Smith and Jeff Magner, partners at 1034 Mushrooms, pick oyster mushrooms in a converted auto garage in Raleigh.

In an old auto garage bay just south of downtown Raleigh, Sarah Smith and Jeff Magner pluck mushrooms straight from the air. Plastic bags stuffed with straw dangle from the ceiling. Oyster mushrooms spring from holes cut into the sides. Smith and Magner search out the mushrooms ready for dinner plates, drop them into plastic buckets and try to get them to Triangle consumers as quickly as possible. Their business, 1034 Mushrooms, has been operating since January and joins a few other indoor mushroom-growing operations in the Triangle, including Woodfruit, Laughing Spirit Farm and Understory Farm, which sell at the Durham and Carrboro farmers markets. Most other locally cultivated mushrooms are grown outdoors. 1034 Mushrooms’ products (oyster, shiitake and lion’s mane mushrooms) are sold via Double T Farm at the weekly farmers market at Rebus Works. They also supply mushrooms for The Produce Box, which provides weekly deliveries of North Carolina foods to local

consumers. They hope to eventually sell to restaurant chefs. Right now, they produce from 100 to 200 pounds of mushrooms per week. They hope to boost their yield to 300 to 400 pounds per week with the recent hire of a new employee. Smith, 34, has a background in microbiology and soil science. Magner, 58, owns MagnerVision, where he designs and builds mixed-media furniture and other work. The pair are trying to perfect their mushroom growing process. “We’re always trouble-shooting and figuring out how to do better,” Smith said. They test whether the temperature is right and the humidity is sufficient in the plasticsheeted room where their oyster mushrooms live. They experiment with blends of sawdust and grains that their far pickier shiitakes will grow on. They keep a sterile laboratory to ensure their goods get started right. “It’s not the most glamorous thing, but it’s cool,” Magner said. “And when you see them start growing, that’s your satisfaction.” Barr: 919-836-4952; Twitter: @barrmsarah
