Planned hospice would fulfill 30-year dream BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

About 90 people stood up Monday to show their support for the hospice facility Rowan Regional Medical Center plans to develop on Statesville Boulevard. They applauded when the Salisbury Planning Board unanimously approved a zoning amendment to allow the 14-bed hospice facility, the first in Rowan County. No one spoke in opposition.

The hospital must ask City Council for a final nod. “Our hospice house will give these patients as much comfort and joy as possible during their last days,” said Edwina Ritchie, director of Hospice Services at Rowan Regional Medical Center. Planning Board members Carl Repsher and Bill Wagoner recused themselves because they serve on the hospital board. John Whitfield’s home will adjoin a required 70-foot

Letter cites reasons for firing

Personal ties aid top teacher Julie Stolze draws from her experience as a student

City officials say firefighter violated ‘Rules of Conduct’

ulie Stolze always planned to work with children, but she wasn’t quite sure teaching was her calling. “Everybody told me, ‘You should be a teacher,’ and I started just bucking it, saying no,” she said. And Stolze never imagined she’d one day be dubbed RowanSalisbury School System’s Teacher of the Year. “I really am not anything special,” she said. “I don’t stand out when you think about the incredible caliber of teachers in this county.” While working as an instructional aide at her son’s middle school and pursuing a doctorate in pediatric psychology at the University of Kansas, she realized she was wrong. “I started thinking, here I am trying to find ways to impact students,” she said. “I thought the people who have the most access to and the most opportunity to help students are the people who spend time with them every day.” So Stolze ditched the path to her doctorate degree, taking a new road to her earn her teaching certificate. Stolze taught in Kansas for two years and California for seven, before moving to Rowan County with her husband, Greg.

The city has released the letter notifying a Salisbury firefighter that she had been fired. The dismissal notification for Courtney Brown, who was terminated during an ongoing investigation into alleged improprieties within the Salisbury Fire Depart- BROWN ment, says she was fired for deceit and misconduct. “Due to violations of the

When former West Rowan Middle Principal Cindy Misenheimer was selected to lead the Rowan County Early College on the campus of Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, she asked Stolze to make the move with her. “The big thing that makes her stand out is she thinks about and understands how students learn,” Misenheimer said. “She’s not willing to let anybody slip through the cracks or get by without doing

Nancy Shirley of Salisbury brought the unrest in Egypt home for her friends Monday by posting a request on her Facebook page. “Pray for my sister-in-law Susan and nephew John who are flying out of Cairo today and for my brother-inlaw John who has to stay,” Shirley wrote. SHIRLEY S u s a n Shirley, the sister of Nancy’s husband, David, has lived in Egypt several years. She is a business consultant who works with international clients. Her husband, John Speaks III, has worked for the American Embassy in Cairo for seven years. He is an undersecretary in the economic/political section. “They have always felt safe there until now,” Nancy Shirley said. Dissatisfaction with President Hosni Mubarak has erupted into protests and violence on the streets of Cairo in recent days. John Shirley is considered essential personnel at the embassy, so he must stay, but the family decided it would be better for Susan and 6-year-old John IV to leave.

Sophomore SALWSKI Brandi Salwski

said Stolze helped develop her critical thinking skills by encouraging her to dig deeper during English I. “I really liked her, she wasn’t a traditional teacher, she did a lot of hands-on activities,” she said. “She cared more about whether you understood something than a teacher who only cares about high test scores.” Stolze said since she began teaching she’s focused on how students learn in order to ensure

their success. “The content is interchangeable, but the actual strategies that you use and the way they interact with the students is the same,” she said. Sophomore Justin Rattz said Stolze was always energetic and entertaining when he had her for English. “Not one day goes by where she is boring in the class,” he said.

Officials at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College want to it be a leader in providing 21st century education and work force development.

Spalding said the passage of the $12 million bond package for capital improvements and renovations to the North Campus will be instrumental in accomplishing the goals to life. The bond funding will help bring the campus up to Americans with Disabilities Act standards and expand classroom space, which means students will have more course options.

“When the students are on campus or enrolled here we want to support their needs,” Spalding said. The strategic plan will continue to be tweaked until the board approves a final draft. Board member Tony Almeida, Duke Energy’s vice president of large business customers, said he thinks the plan is heading in the right direction. “The aspirational nature of this is very, very exciting,” he said.

Jobs and investment could come to the Park Avenue neighborhood. Two vacant parcels along North Arlington Street between East Council and East Liberty streets — near restaurants and retail at Town Creek Commons — have caught the eye of a developer. Property-owner Jake Alexander was tight-lipped Monday night but said a prospective buyer is considering a $4 million to $5 million investment that would create 20 to 40 jobs. “We’ve had an inquiry serious enough that we wanted to get it rezoned,” Alexander said. The new development would face North Arlington Street, Alexander said, and create jobs and investment “all within walking distance of Park Avenue neighborhood.” The neighborhood has been plagued by crime and decline but shows signs of recovery. The Salisbury Planning Contact reporter Emily Board approved Alexander’s Ford at 704-797-4264.

Two robberies and an assault were reported in Salisbury over the weekend, and police are looking for two suspects. Saturday evening, a robbery with a knife was reported at 1200 W. Horah St. Police are looking for Demario Brown. Early Sunday morning, police got a call that someone came into the Safety Taxi building at 226 E. Fisher St. held someone at gunpoint and took money out of a locked desk. Another violent crime happened Saturday at 809 S. Fulton St., a police report said.

request to rezone the parcel at 825 E. Liberty St. from Urban Residential to Corridor Mixed-Use. In combination with the vacant lot next door, which Alexander’s A&H Investments Inc. also owns, he now has about 2.2 acres of property zoned Corridor Mixed-Use. Corridor Mixed-Use is intended for development that is traditionally detailed and encourages pedestrian use through connections to adjacent neighborhoods, as well as the construction of vertically mixed-use buildings including commercial, industrial and residential. City Planner Preston Mitchell recommended rezoning because Corridor MixedUse offers a “soft transition” between the neighborhood and Town Creek development area, including a 15-foot landscape buffer. To further woo the developer, Alexander said he will ask City Council to close an alley that runs between the two vacant lots.

Rowan-Cabarrus Community College could soon begin the planning phases for capital improvements and renovations to the North Campu. The college’s vice president of advancement, said Monday all that’s standing between the college and the $12 million in bond money, approved by county voters in November, is a vote by the Rowan County Board of Commissioners. “The 30-day public comment period has expired,” Jerry Chandler said. Chandler said the bond will be on the agenda at the next Rowan County Board of Commissioners meeting at 3 p.m. Feb. 7. “At that meeting, I anticipate they’ll be giving the finance director Leslie Heidrick direction on how to issue the bonds,” he said. Rowan County Manager Gary Page told the Post in November it would likely take about 90 days to sell the bonds. Chandler said in order to speed up the process, RowanCabarrus officials will be requesting the board adopt a resolution of reimbursement.

That resolution would allow the college to spend its own money on the project and be repaid after the bonds are sold. The $12 million package includes $3 million for campus accessibility improvements, $6.7 million for additions and renovations and $2.3 million to relocate and expand the fire training grounds. Gaye McConnell, the college’s vice president of student services, said the additional classroom space created in Building 600 through bond monies will be crucial in the future. The school’s spring enrollment topped 7,100 this year, growing 3 percent from last year and more than 50 percent in 2007. “We do expect we’ll continue to see those increases,” she said. McConnell said the college will likely see more 18- to 22year-old students who make an “economically driven” choice to attend Rowan-Cabarrus rather than pricer four year schools. She said enrollment will also continue to rise as employers seek to hire more college-educated employees. Contact reporter Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

In other action The Rowan-Cabarrus Community College Board of Trustees also: • Voted to terminate the Real Estate Associates Degree program and the Real Estate Certificate Licensing program. The licensing courses have been moved to the Continuing Education department. • Received an update on the campuswide smoking ban from Elana Miles, a tobacco free peer education. Miles said since the ban began in August, there have been few issues with compliance. She said there are sign placed across campus and mouse pads in the college’s computer labs. “We don’t want to offend anyone, but we have to be constant as far as reminding people,” she said. Miles said the school will continues to promote the ban by hosting a Health Fair in March and Kick Butts day that focusing on cessation.

New rules for farmland ordinance advance BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com

Amendments to the county farmland preservation ordinance will come before county commissioners again this month. The Rowan County Board of Commissioners instructed the county planning board to review changes to the ordinance approved by the county agricultural advisory board. The planning board unanimously voted Jan. 24 to recommend its version of the ordinance to commissioners rather than the agricultural advisory board’s version, said Rowan County Planning Director Ed Muire. Amendments agreed upon by both boards would change the requirements for voluntary agricultural districts and create guidelines for enhanced voluntary agricultural districts. The advisory board’s version would have continued to give that board authority to approve or revoke agricultural district applications. But according to changes the planning board sent to commissioners, the agricultural advisory board could only make recommendations to the Board of Commissioners for final decision-making. Muire wrote in an e-mail to the Post that local residents James and Marian Rollans spoke during a public hearing on the issue. “James did question whether the (Board of Commissioners) wanted to be burdened having to review all district applications, assuming all properties in the Present Use Value System (tax deferral program) wanted to be included in the program,” Muire wrote. In other news, Mac Butner was elected board chairman and Greg Edds was elected vice chairman BUTNER at the Jan. 24 meeting. The planning board also voted to continued until its next meeting a rezoning request for a 1.06-acre property at 4725 Long Ferry Road.

‘THE SODFATHER’

Kathy Graham Pulliam’s grandfather left a big impression n weekends, James T. Graham liked to say he was going to visit a friend or relative as an excuse for putting granddaughter Kathy into his truck and taking off. Kathy Graham Pulliam says over the course of those adventures she probably bumped over every country road. “That’s how I learned Rowan County,” she says. James T. Graham — most folks called MARK him “J.T.” or “Mr. WINEKA Jim” — knew everybody and everybody knew him. For 16 years (from 1930-46) he served as a county commissioner. He was a pioneering soil conservationist in North Carolina, respected farmer, part of the bedrock behind Third Creek Presbyterian Church and father of one of the state’s most beloved politicians — the Sodfather, longtime Agriculture Commissioner Jim Graham. The late “Big Jim” seemed to know everybody, too. A retired teacher, Pulliam has scrapbooks full of newspaper clippings and photographs related to her grandfather, but she holds close to her heart simpler memories. Isn’t that the way it is with grandfathers? J.T. Graham would crack up Kathy and her brother, Charles Jr., by making a face and popping out his false teeth. His wife, Laura, routinely scolded him for that. His nickname for Kathy’s grandmother was “Lollie.” Graham always wore a hat, black work boots, bib overalls and a longsleeved shirt — it didn’t matter whether it was winter or summer. The bib overalls were central to his work-week uniform, and dressing up meant the changing out of one crucial item. “Lollie,” Kathy often heard him say, “I got to have me a clean shirt. I got to go to town.” GRAHAM If J.T. Graham came across a person whose name he couldn’t remember, he called him “Doc.” He also had a nickname for Kathy’s cousin, Laura Little, who became a professor at Temple University in Philadelphia. Graham called her “Susie Tap.” The cousins still aren’t sure why. One of his favorite dogs was Vick, a devoted collie. When he stopped by Kathy’s parents’ house for a visit, he pulled his green Chevrolet truck into the front yard in no particular spot, as if he suddenly decided to stop driving and it just happened to be in front of son Charles’ place. Kathy says J.T. Graham was a notoriously bad driver. “An angel rode on his shoulder all the time,” she adds. She recalls one day when her brother Charles and his friends were helping J.T. Graham bale some hay for his beef cattle. They were riding in the back of his truck and had to bail out when an oblivious Graham pulled from the field into the path of another vehicle. No one was hurt, and nothing was damaged. But the angel on J.T.’s shoulder grew larger. Not many people knew it, but J.T. and Laura Graham became big fans of professional wrestling and sometimes would gather a few friends and travel to Lexington for live matches. Kathy Pulliam says her grandfather did anything he could for Third Creek Presbyterian Church, where he is now buried. The church named him a deacon when he was 20 years old. J.T. Graham was extremely proud of his three children: Jim, Charles (Kathy’s dad) and Mary

Kathy Graham Pulliam holds a picture of her late grandfather, J.T. Graham, with one of his favorite dogs, Vick.

In this photograph from June 9, 1953, J.T. Graham, left, shows J.E. Michael of the Soil Conservation Service an alfalfa strip growing where there had been major erosion problems. Emma, who would marry and move to Delaware. All the children have died now. He was especially thrilled that Jim became agriculture commissioner and that he often brought top officials from Raleigh by the old homeplace. Charles Graham served as Cleveland mayor. He also was a full-time rural mail carrier, besides handling the dairy portion (the Third Creek Dairy Farm) of his father’s farm off Third Creek Church Road. J.T. Graham managed the beef cattle side of the operation, which also was Uncle Jim’s part of the farm. The Graham farm dated to the 1830s. The family sold a good portion of the land in the late 1980s. Going through Kathy’s scrapbooks, you see stories of an important man in his community. He was an award-winning wheat grower and breeder of Guernsey cattle. He was elected master of the Pomona Grange, formed in 1929. He served as a Cleveland alderman and as state president of the Patriotic Order Sons of America. He championed the Third Creek Watershed as a way of managing creeks and saving farmland. He was a county, district and state trailblazer in soil and watershed conservation and served as president of the

state’s Soil Conservation Supervisors. In 1953, Graham was part of a delegation of agricultural leaders who spoke with President Eisenhower at the White House about soil conservation and flood control. In 1955, he spoke about the Third Creek Watershed before the National Watershed Conference, again in Washington. He didn’t wear his bib overalls then. In 1993, 16 years after his death, James T.

He said he expects large, excited crowds Wednesday. “The community has been fantastic,” Mehta said. “We ask for your patience and support as we open.” RIVERA Store hours are 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day.

A Rockingham man led police on a chase through Salisbury and Granite Quarry Saturday, with speeds reaching 80 mph, police said. The chase ended in a field, where the vehicle went into a ditch and the suspect then SELLERS tried to run away on foot. Officers used a stun gun to stop the man. Phillip Renee Sellers, 51, of 110 McNeil Road, was taken to the hospital for a blood analysis, then charged with

felony possession of cocaine, possession of Xanax, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of an open container, felony fleeing to elude arrest, driving while impaired, driving while license revoked and careless and reckless driving. He was placed in jail under a $10,000 secured bond. The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office said the chase began when Deputy Craig Earnhardt was sitting in a parking lot at Grandeur Townhomes working on a report when he heard a horn blowing and saw a pickup fly by with a N.C. State Highway Trooper following. Earnhardt joined the pursuit. The officers chased Sellers down Julian Road, Klumac Road, Jake Alexan-

der Boulevard and U.S. 52 through Granite Quarry. Officers put spiked sticks down at the intersection of U.S. 52 and Brown Acres Road, however, Sellers kept going, the report said. Sellers passed East Rowan High School and then turned into a field, ultimately driving into a ditch. Sellers was hit with a stun gun twice before he was stopped, police said. The report said Sellers was “extremely impaired,” and didn’t listen to officers. A small amount of cocaine, a mirror with white residue, beer bottles and one Xanax pill were found in Seller’s truck.

Ratcliff went into a back room of the home to conduct the deal, police say, and then came to the front of the home where he pointed a small silver handgun at Isaksson’s head, asking for his wallet.

PHOTO ID LAW PROPOSED

Putting a face U.S. meets its match in China on voters o you strongly suspect North Carolina Republicans gained control of the state legislature only because of flawed elections and voter fraud? Didn’t think so, nor do we harbor such suspicions. Republicans gained the majority the same way Democrats retained it for decades — through hard-fought but fair elections in which the vast majority of ballots came from citizens who had a legal right to cast them. With only 21 cases of possible voter fraud referred for investigation in 2010, the evidence is more miniscule than massive. Nonetheless, state GOP leaders say concern about voter fraud is so widespread, they’re pursuing a law requiring voters to produce a photo ID at the polls. Enacting laws to address problems that don’t appear to exist does not make for smaller or more efficient government. It may, however, make for longer lines at polling sites. In addition to verifying registration, poll workers may also need to be trained to recognize counterfeit IDs. Otherwise, the fraud fear will simply shift from voters lacking IDs to voters bearing fake documentation. Nonetheless, if the need for this law isn’t clear, it’s also doubtful it would onerously burden legal voters, as some have claimed. About half of the states now have a voter ID requirement, including eight that require photo ID. Although critics frequently argue that ID requirements discourage legitimate voters — the elderly, the indigent and some minorities, for example — that hasn’t been born out by plummeting turnout in states with voter ID laws. In upholding Georgia’s photo ID statute, a federal appellate judge described it as “reasonable, narrowly tailored and related to a legitimate and important state interest.” That sounds like a good template to follow. A reasonable law will offer several options for an acceptable ID (Florida, for instance, lists 12), and it will include provisions to provide a free photo ID to any voter who needs one. Otherwise, forcing a citizen to purchase an ID is a de facto poll tax. A reasonable law also should be highly cost efficient and will include recourse for registered voters who show up without a valid ID. Some states require such voters to use provisional ballots, while others must sign affidavits. Either way, the voter still votes, and the integrity of the process is upheld. While the ID law may be a remedy in search of a disease, perhaps it would quell claims that North Carolina has a voter fraud problem. Shoring up trust in the system isn’t a bad thing, so long as the law doesn’t disenfranchise marginalized citizens who already think their vote isn’t wanted or doesn’t count.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

I believe that ignorance is the root of all evil. And that no one knows the truth. — Molly Ivins

Moderately Confused

Merger might solve many of our problems

all Street can do it. Wall Street owes us. After all, we’re in this mess because of Wall Street. If Wall Street can take a batch of loans from nannies and strawberry pickers who buy $700,000 houses on $14,000 annual incomes with no down payment and convince the world that the batch is DAVID no more risky than U.S. TreasPOST ury securities, it can do anything. What does Wall Street do best? Mergers and acquisitions that are synergistic. Win-win situations where both parties win. Wall Street can help the nation balance its budget. How? Easy. Put together a deal merging the United States and China into one nation. The U.S. needs China to make stuff for it. China needs U.S. consumers to buy the stuff it makes. The U.S. buys a lot of stuff from China. Then China sends the money right back, admittedly as a loan, but it does send it back. The U.S. hates taxes. China probably has no taxes — it already owns everything. U.S. manufacturers like low-cost land, lower regulatory restrictions and cheap labor. China

has all that. China’s economicgrowth rate is 9 percent. The United States’ growth rate has been anemic. Average the two, and we’re probably close to the Fed’s target of 2-3 percent. The Chinese control exchange rates and interest rates. The Fed tries to control those in the U.S., but the average is probably healthy for both. Chinese students love science and technology, and American students love Chinese food and art. Chinese students make good grades, so U.S. schools would report vast improvements. Chinese students love U.S. universities, and U.S. universities give boatloads of Ph.Ds to Chinese students. U.S. kids like to have sleepovers and Chinese parents don’t let their kids sleep over, but since we’re 9,000 miles apart, that shouldn’t be a problem. Chinese families want more children. The U.S. celebrates life — even those who support a woman’s right to choose say that they “personally” object to abortion. As an accounting professor, I know most people hate accounting. Though the percentage of students majoring in accounting has dropped by more than half in the past 20 years, a large percentage of U.S. accounting students and

most new accounting professors are Chinese. Even so, most people think accountants can always make the numbers come out right. Consolidation accounting is very difficult to understand, but the basic idea is that when the same company buys and sells to itself, the amount owed and the amount due cancel each other out. So, merge the U.S. and China. The U.S. deficit goes POOF! Completely offset by China’s surplus. Hooray for accounting! Maybe we can shed that image of being boring.

Color the terror threat levels gone Scripps Howard News Service

In all honesty, the Bush era’s color-coded terror-warning system was always pretty useless, but after almost a decade it had become a comforting part of the national background. No longer will we hear while standing shoeless and beltless in the security lines the recorded announcement that “the threat level is orange.” The threat level was always orange, but it gave you the sense that somebody official was paying attention. (The security level might have been briefly yellow once or twice, but the trouble with automated announcements is that after a while you automatically stop paying attention to them.) There are five threat levels, in ascending order from green, a low risk of attack; to blue, a

In this session of the North Carolina General Assembly it is time the freedoms, protections and rights of the citizenry of North Carolina are again honored. It is time the General Assembly freed the citizens of North Carolina and returned the control of their lives back to them. North Carolinians have been at the mercy and destructive hand of the municipalities in North Carolina for far too long. The current annexation statutes have been a destructive force within North Carolina. Many lives and families have been destroyed by the unscrupulous municipalities within North Carolina. It is time the members of the General Assembly intervene on behalf of the citizens that have elected them to office. It is the real people of North Carolina that put them into office with each election. The non-voting municipalities cannot send them to Raleigh; only the people can. It is about time that they as a group respected the people of North Carolina and return control of their lives back to them. It is time they realized that they are not doing the people’s business when they allow the people to be degraded, demoralized and victimized as is happening today with the current annexation statutes. If they are unwilling to tackle the destructive annexation statutes during this session, then they should at least place a moratorium on all annexations until the General Assembly repeals it as part of a new annexation reform bill that will return the people’s freedoms, protections and rights to them. I ask each North Carolinian to contact their elected representatives in the North Carolina General Assembly and request that they return the people’s freedoms, protections and rights to them with the enactment of a new annexation statute. It is time you eliminate the abuse of the citizens of North Carolina by eliminating the use of involuntary annexation. — Ray Shamlin

The colorized threat risks — and, really, did anybody actually memorize them? — will be replaced April 27 by the National Terrorism Advisory System, the result of more than a year’s pondering by the Department of Homeland Security. Said the Associated Press: “The new plan calls for notifying specific audiences about specific threats.” No sense scaring the bejabbers out of the rest of us. AP said that in some cases it might be a one-page threat description sent to law-enforcement officials describing the threat, what law enforcement needs to do about it, and what the federal government is doing. It took them a year to think this up?

God has given him the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge of the fear of the lord (Isaiah 11-2). He does not judge the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears. He does pray before making any decision. He prays for you and me. He picks me up to go to church. He is a person who gives to the needy. He pays taxes and is a very talented person. When he sees a vision that the lord has given him, he goes for it and his council members see this. He did not ask for a raise; in fact, he turned down last year’s raise! Thanks, David, for a job well done! You deserve a raise! — Jo Ann Keller Salisbury

Couple accused of child abuse A Salisbury man who threatened North Main Street residents and the driver of a Lay’s snack food truck Friday afternoon was arrested later that night, police said. Police found Richard Corbett Hattaway, 52, of 1410 Briarwood Road, bleeding and intoxicated. Rowan EMS treated him at the scene for a cut to his hand.

State GOP health care strategy draws criticism RALEIGH (AP) — Health care providers and consumers joined House Democrats on Monday to criticize a Republican bill in the North Carolina Legislature that seeks to sink portions of the federal health care overhaul, saying it could prevent hundreds of thousands of people from obtaining health insurance. The measure, which was approved by a judiciary committee last week and expected on the House floor Wednesday for a vote, attempts to block a provision requiring people to buy insurance beginning in 2014 or pay a penalty. It also would direct Attorney General Roy Cooper to join a lawsuit to challenge the law. The federal law is too important to the more than 1.6 million uninsured people in North Carolina and other underinsured consumers to be scuttled, said Dr. Charles van der Horst, a professor at the UNC School of Medicine in Chapel Hill who specializes in infectious diseases. One-third of people in hospitals are there because they aren’t getting the regular preventive care that insurance provides,

he said. “If you get rid of the mandate, which I say is constitutional, then you’re going to completely gut the bill, and we’re going to go back to the old days,” van der Horst said. A federal judge in Florida on Monday declared last year’s health care overhaul unconstitutional, including the mandate to buy insurance, siding with 26 states that challenged it. Two other federal judges have upheld the law and a third called the insurance mandate unlawful. The issue will likely have to reach the U.S. Supreme Court to be resolved. “That’s where this issue should be settled — the federal courts,” said Rep. Verla Insko, D-Orange. “We don’t need to be spending our time here in North Carolina on this issue.” House Speaker Thom Tillis, R-Mecklenburg, said in a prepared statement that North Carolina residents “expect us to act to protect their right to make their own health care decisions” and that the federal health care law is bad for North Carolina businesses.

State’s biggest newspapers cut more jobs RALEIGH (AP) — The two daily newspapers owned by McClatchy Co. in North Carolina have announced they are each cutting 20 jobs to try to trim costs. The Charlotte Observer announced its layoffs on Monday. Publisher Ann Caulkins said the move comes as a shaky economy continues to plague advertisers and revenues remain short of the company’s goals. Caulkins said the layoffs include five Observer newsroom employees. The Observer also announced it is implementing weeklong furloughs for salaried employees beginning this quarter. Despite some improvement in ad revenue, the economy remains turbulent, and revenues have reflected that, Caulkins said. About two weeks ago, The News & Observer of Raleigh announced it was cutting 20 jobs across the staff for the same economic reasons. Publisher Orage Quarles III said some of the cuts would include up to six newsroom positions.

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s military promised Monday not to fire on any peaceful protests and recognized “the legitimacy of the people’s demands,” a sign army support for President Hosni Mubarak may be unraveling. Protesters planned a major escalation, calling for a million people to take to the streets to push Mubarak out of power. More than 10,000 people beat drums, played music and chanted slogans in Tahrir Square, which has become ground zero of seven days of protests demanding the ouster of the 82-year-old president who has ruled with an authoritarian hand for nearly three decades. With the organizers’ calling for a march by one million people Tuesday, the vibe in the sprawling plaza — whose name in Arabic means “Liberation” — was intensifying with the feeling that the upheaval was nearing a decisive point. “He only needs a push,” was one of the most frequent chants, and one leaflet circulated by some protesters said

Stolze started out teaching in middle school because she wanted to reach out to students who don’t particularly enjoy school. “Thinking back on my own life, middle school was a tough time. I hated it,” she said. “I thought maybe I can make it easier for students.” As a high school teacher, Stolze enjoys being able to teach more rigorous courses. “I hope they leave with a sense that they are scholars, they are capable of meeting any kind of academic goal that they set for themselves,” she said. During a recent visit to her class, a group of 15 freshman were her captive audience as she explained dangling participles and engaged the class in a discussion about “The Odyssey.” Stolze made the conversation even more lively by sowing the class a YouTube video of Suzanne Vega’s “Calypso,” which shows Odysseus from Calypso’s point of view.

Bald Head Is l a n d

TRAVEL BY ANDY MOONEY mooney@salisburypost.com

ocated on southern Smith Island, the village of Bald Head Island is a charming community. Accessible only by ferry, there are no cars on the island and the only way to get around is either by bicycle or golf cart. According to the 2000 census, 173 people resided in the 5.8square-mile village, with many more in the summer months. The island is also popular for weddings, either on the beach or in the picturesque village chapel. Other visitors are drawn by the island’s amenities, including vacation rentals, a golf course, two bed and breakfasts, and canoeing and kayaking. Humans aren’t the only habitants, with loggerhead turtles, raccoons, fox, deer and alligators on the island. European settlement in the area to 1664, when John Vassal founded Charles Town along the west bank of the Cape Fear Weddings and worship take place in the River. However, due to interdenominational village chapel conflicts with the natives and political problems, he moved Charles Town farther south, which is now Charleston, S.C. In 1713, a land grant was issued for what is now Smith Island. Bald Head Island saw activity, although briefly, in the Revolutionary War. British military leaders, Gen. Clinton and Lt. Cornwallis, used the island for a staging area for their ships. The British established Fort George on the southwestern corner of the island, garrisoned with about 30 troops to prevent the area from being used for shipping. Continental soldiers attacked the fort, and British soldiers eventually withdrew from the island. This is believed to be one of the first amphibious operation in American military history. During the Civil War, the Confederates built Fort Holmes on the island in 1863 as a defense for the Cape Fear River. It had as many as 18 guns and 1,000 troops. In 1789, the construction of a lighthouse was authorized on the island. Construction was completed in December 1794, costing $11,359. However, the tower had been built too close to the water, fell victim to erosion and was rendered inoperable by 1813. Built on higher ground, the current lighthouse, Old Baldy, was finished in 1817, totaling $15,915. Bricks from the original lighthouse were used in the construction of Old Baldy. The lighthouse was turned off, as were all light beacons on the coast, during the Civil War so Union ships wouldn’t be able to navigate around the shoals. Through the years, repairs and improvements were made to the structure. It was decommissioned in 1959 after Oak Island Light, which was the second brightest lighthouse in the world, was built a few miles away. Old Baldy’s brick and plaster are 5 feet thick, and can withstand a category-three hurricane, though some residents sought shelter inside of the lighthouse during Hurricane Fran, a category three, in 1996.

Built in 1817, the Old Baldy Lighthouse is the tallest structure on the island. Its brick and plaster construction are 5-feet thick, and some residents sought shelter inside during Hurricane Fran in 1996. It can withstand category-three strength winds.

Girlfriend’s anger needs better management Dear Amy: My boyfriend and I have been together for almost a year and a half. I am happy in our relationship for the most part — except one major thing. I have borderline personality disorder, which means I feel e x t r e m e highs and lows due to a very tough and painful past. ASK The exAMY treme emotion I feel most often is anger. I don’t get angry often, but when I do it is very hard to control. I have improved a lot over the years, go to therapy regularly and work hard to stabilize my emotions, but it still haunts me. My boyfriend knows this and is a self-proclaimed “instigator.”

professional cleaning and exam varies across the country but is usually $50 to $140. If you absolutely cannot afford a powered brush, the best alternative is to brush with a nylon-bristle toothbrush. The bristles should be pressed between the gum and the tooth surface at a 45-degree angle, just as you would use a scrub brush to clean the angle between a floor and a wall. Brush horizontally, back and forth. Flossing and brushing is the only way to prevent periodontal disease. In terms of the cost of failing to prevent gum disease, allow me to scare you to death. If you have gum disease with no bone damage (called gingivitis), the cost of scaling and root planing with followup appointments may cost up to $1,600. If there is bone damage (called periodontitis), which needs surgical intervention, the surgical fee may tack on another $3,000 to $4,000. If bone needs to be regrown by

If you remove the soft plaque from the gum margin around the teeth, you will toughen the gums and prevent the disease. Here’s how to do that: • Floss between the teeth and under the gums. This is the only way to remove plaque effectively from between the teeth. • Use a power brush, such as an Oral-B ProfessionalCare SmartSeries 4000 or a Sonicare FlexCare, to effectively scrub and vibrate the soft plaque away. • Use a rubber tip stimulator (available at drugstores) to massage the gums between the teeth. This toughens the gums and makes them more impervious to bacterial infection. • Have a good professional cleaning at least annually. Dental floss is cheap. You can get yards and yards of it at any drugstore or grocery for a buck or two. Most rechargeable battery-powered toothbrushes sell for $60 to $100. A

Today’s topic is not pretty, but unless you have $8,000 earmarked for your friendly neighborhood periodontist, it can prevent a lot of pain, both dental and financial. Periodontal disease is an infection that affects the gum tissue the around teeth, the fibers that hold the teeth in the jawbone and the bone MARY itself. HUNT Bacteria get caught between the teeth and also under the gums, forming a sticky substance called “plaque,” which hardens to form tartar. This leads to an infection known as gingivitis. As it spreads deeper into the bone, it begins to decay and pus forms, which causes swelling, redness and bleeding. If it’s not treated, the teeth will become loose and fall out.

Polamalu named top defensive player BY BARRY WILNER Associated Press

Matthews by a hair — two votes. Despite missing two games, in which Pittsburgh went 1-1, Polamalu became the sixth Steeler to win the award. He had seven interceptions this season along with 63 tackles, but made his mark with big plays. In a lateseason victory at Baltimore, his leaping tackle forced a fumble that set up the winning touchdown. That victory catapulted the Steelers to the AFC North title.

tiger Woods reacts to just missing a long eagle putt on the sixth green of the south course at torrey Pines during the third round of the Farmers insurance open.

Not even Woods knows progress BY DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — The trouble with being so good for so long is that it makes the bad times look even worse. Tiger Woods never looked worse at Torrey Pines. One of the more astute assessments about the state of Woods’ golf game came last year at the Australian Masters. He was paired in the third round with Kieran Pratt, a 22-year-old from Melbourne. A longtime observer noted that one player had won 14 majors among 82 titles around the world, the other was making his pro debut, and you couldn’t tell the difference. Pratt shot a 70. Woods had a 71. A new year looked a lot like the old one for Woods. To see him open with a pair of 69s at the Farmers Insurance Open made it appear as though his game was on an upward trend, until recognizing that Anthony Kim was better in each of the two rounds. Woods was outplayed in the next two rounds by two rookies: Jhonattan Vegas, an emerging star on the PGA Tour who showed no effects of a hangover from winning the previous week at the Bob Hope Classic; and Brendan Steele, who grew up in a California town (Hemet) that didn’t even have a golf course. Even more surprising is that it took place at Torrey Pines. No one has had more success on San Diego’s public gem than Woods. He won the Buick Invitational six times, and won the U.S. Open in 2008

on a shattered right leg — and in his first tournament in two months. But his record runs far deeper. He had never finished out of the top 10, and he had never finished more than four shots behind the winner. This isn’t the first time Woods has revamped his swing, either. The first big overhaul was in 1998, and Woods still finished only one shot out of a playoff that year at Torrey Pines. The other reconstruction project was in 2004, and he wound up two shots out of a playoff. This time, he was a whopping 15 shots out of the lead in a tie for 44th. Woods failed to break par only one time on the South Course at Torrey Pines in his first 32 rounds in tour events. He shot 74 on Saturday to fall out of the hunt, and 75 on Sunday to fall into irrelevancy. At least he didn’t finish near the bottom of the pack as he did last summer at Firestone, another course where he has dominated. Woods was flustered when he finished. “Absolutely, absolutely,” he said when asked if he was surprised by his scores. “I started out hitting it pretty good out here this week. I really did. And it progressively got worse. We have some things that we need to work on. Sean (Foley) and I have been talking about it every night. I can do it on the range, but it’s a little different when I’ve got to bring it out here.” Woods said he’s in “the process” of his swing change, whatever that means. When he was changing his swing under Hank Haney, his choice of words was, “I’m close.”

So much so that one opponent called the eighth-year pro the NFL’s top player, regardless of position. “With all due respect, I honestly think Troy Polamalu is probably the greatest player I’ve ever played with or even seen play in person,” gushed Jets receiver Santonio Holmes, who was the MVP of Pittsburgh’s 2009 Super Bowl win over Arizona. “Everybody has their one person they think is the greatest player. In my eyes, I think he’s the greatest player I’ve ever played with.”

Jackson’s heroics save Livingstone

NASCAR is probably the only sport on the planet that not only alters its rules every year, but then changes them from week to week. Since the season won’t even start until later next month, however, there’s plenty of time to cuss and discuss what could change between the first race at Daytona and the last race at Homestead. For now, the hot topics are the new simplified points system and the “wildcard” aspect of the Chase for the Championship. Instead of the cluttered and bizarre old scoring format, the 43 drivers in a Sprint Cup field will be awarded from 1 through 43 points — 1 for a last place finish and 43 for a win. The 43 can grow as large as 48 based on bonus points for the victory (3), leading a lap (1) and most laps led (1). As for the Chase, it’s still a 12-driver field but positions 11 and 12 will go to drivers with the most wins over the first 26 races as long as they aren’t already in the Top 10 and are ranked in the Top 20 in points. “The fans tell us that winning matters the most with them, so we’re combining the tradition of consistency in our sport with the excitement that comes along with winning,” NASCAR CEO Brian France said last week. If winning matters most to the fans, shouldn’t a race winner get more than 48 points? As convoluted as the old system was, at least the person who grabbed the checker got a decent bonus for winning — the victor received 185 points and the second-place finisher got 170. That kind of cushion is no longer possible. The best a driver who winds up in victory lane can do is get six more points than the runner-up. The math might be simpler, but unless I’m missing something winning is even less rewarding under the new format. Plus, the old system spaced out the allocation of points more fairly. After first and second the difference was five-point increments down to sixth place. After that, the difference was four points from seventh to 11th, and then three points difference the rest of the way. Drivers received five points for leading a lap and five more for leading the most laps. None of this is going to cause me to toss and turn at night, but knowing that a first place finish is, at best, only worth 24 more points than a 20th place run doesn’t seem right. As for the wildcard aspect of the Chase ... whatever. I’ve never been enamored with the gimmick anyway. If they want to have a real “playoff,” hold an elimination race at Daytona at the end of the season and crown a champion there.

six seasons, where they face Matthews and the Packers. “I don’t imagine their game plan changing over one player,” Polamalu said. “We don’t single out anybody. Anything we achieve here is done as a team, as a whole.” Added Steelers linebacker James Harrison, who finished third in the balloting with eight votes and won the award two years ago: “Troy brings this defense from a ‘C’ defense to an ‘A’ defense. He’s someone that you have to account for in the secondary.”

But even he’s not sure how close he is. So much more was expected. Woods was coming off a solid tournament two months ago at his Chevron World Challenge, where he played great for 54 holes, looked shaky the last 18 and lost in a playoff to U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell. And then there’s the Torrey factor. Woods will always be compared with his past, and that’s not about to go away. At his low point last year — a missed cut at Quail Hollow, a withdraw from The Players Championship with a neck injury that no one knew anything about — Paul Goydos cautioned not to judge Woods until he played courses where he traditionally won, and won big. Still to come was the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach and the British Open at St. Andrews. Woods wasn’t a serious contender at either, and by then his game was in full meltdown mode. So while it’s too early to measure Woods after one tournament, it’s natural to raise questions after such a pedestrian performance at Torrey Pines. Next week is the Dubai Desert Classic, where Woods has never finished lower than fifth. The last time he played, he won by one shot over a young German named Martin Kaymer, who now is No. 2 in the world and could go to No. 1 at the Qatar Masters this week. Then after the Match Play Championship — too fickle to measure anyone’s game — is the World Golf Championship at Doral, where Woods has won three times and has never finished out of the top 10.

Livingstone g u a r d Livingstone 75 Trone Jackhas St. Aug. 74 son f o r c e d coach James Stinson to reach for the headache powders often this season, but this time he provided Stinson with a good night’s sleep. Jackson’s acrobatic driving layup with 3.1 seconds left on the clock at Trent Gym lifted the Blue Bears to a 75-74 overtime victory against St. Augustine’s on Monday night. “There are times when Trone makes you very upset,” Stinson said with a smile. “But at the end of a game, you want the ball in his hands.” Darius Cox had 24 points and nine rebounds for the Blue Bears (11-5, 6-3 CIAA), but their fourth straight victory was borderline miraculous. For Jackson to have a chance to win it at the end, wild things had to happen. The Blue Bears (11-5, 63) held St. Augustine’s without a field goal for a sevenminute stretch in the first half, but Livingstone had a dismal offensive half of its own, shooting 28 percent. Livingstone’s last bucket of the half was a jumper by Cox for a 24-16 lead with 5:15 left, but underdog St. Augustine’s closed the half with a 14-1 run to take a 30-

25 lead. Livingstone led 41-39 with 12 minutes left in regulation, but the only positive the Blue Bears experienced over the next six minutes was a 3-pointer by Omar Ford-Bey. Lethargic Livingstone’s hole grew steadily deeper, and the fired-up Falcons (6-12, 4-5) led 58-44 after Jon Kindred made two free throws with 7:36 left. That was rock bottom for the Blue Bears. The music from the sixman tuba section at Trent Gym had changed from jubilant to mournful, and it didn’t appear possible that Livingstone could muster the energy to come back. But the Blue Bears did. “We knew we had the potential to come back,” Livingstone sophomore Tyler Johnson said. “It was going to have to come from defense.” Stinson plays 12 people. That’s why his team had enough left in the tank to extend its defense fullcourt. The pace picked up, and St. Aug’s started turning it over. Johnson took a charge and Cox blocked a forceful dunk attempt by St. Aug’s freshman Joel Kindred, who led the Falcons with 21 points. “I knew when he went up, he was going to try and dunk it,” Cox said. “I challenged it, got a pretty good piece of it.” The 6-foot Jackson, quiet in the first half, asserted himself

Uconn Women hand Devils first loss Associated Press STORRS, Conn. — Maya Moore scored 29 points and No. 2 Connecticut routed Duke 87-51 on Monday night, handing the thirdranked Blue Devils their first loss of the season. The senior All-American also grabbed nine rebounds and dished out seven assists for the Huskies (21-1), who opened the game on a 23-2 run and ran away from the Blue Devils (20-1). Tiffany Hayes added 20 points for the Huskies, who have won 73 consecutive home games.

Duke missed its first 12 shots, including six 3-pointers and the Huskies jumped out to a 13-0 lead. Shay Selby’s layup just over 5 minutes into the game got the Blue Devils on the board. They didn’t score again until Karima Christmas hit a free throw with under 9 minutes left in the half, and by that time, UConn was up 233.

Mets re-sign Dickey Associated Press

Baseball roundup ... NEW YORK — Pitcher R.A. Dickey has agreed to a $7.8 million, twoyear contract with the New York Mets and outfielder Angel Pagan has agreed to a $3.5 million, one-year deal. Dickey, a 36-year-old knuckleballer who revived his career last season, gets a $1 million signing bonus, $2.25 million this year and $4.25 million in 2012 under Monday’s agreement. The Mets have a $5 million option for 2013 with a $300,000 buyout. Brought up from the minor leagues in mid-May, Dickey went 119 with a 2.84 ERA last year. Pagan, 29, hit .290 with 11 homers and 69 RBIs, becoming the starting center fielder while Carlos Beltran was sidelined. They were the last Mets in arbitration. BRAVES ATLANTA — Right-hander Rodrigo Lopez has agreed to a minor league contract with the Atlanta Braves and will join the team in spring training. The 35-year-old was 7-16 with a 5.00 ERA with the Arizona Diamondbacks last season. He pitched 200 innings, the second-highest total of his career, in his first full season since elbow ligament-replacement surgery in 2007. Lopez, a native of Mexico, is 75-82 in nine seasons with five teams. He will try to make the Braves as the No. 5 starter. Atlanta’s rotation includes Derek Lowe, Tim Hudson, Tommy Hanson and Jair Jurrjens. Mike Minor and Brandon Beachy are top candidates

to be the No. 5 starter. Kris Medlen, recovering from elbow surgery, is expected to miss at least most of the season. REDS CINCINNATI — Right-hander Edinson Volquez and the Cincinnati Reds have agreed to a one-year contract worth $1,625,000. The deal, which avoided salary arbitration, includes $50,000 in performance bonuses: $25,000 each for 24 and 28 starts. Cincinnati offered a multiyear deal to Volquez, who returned from reconstructive elbow surgery last season. The 27-year-old returned from elbow surgery last August and went 43 with a 4.31 ERA in 12 starts, getting better as he went along. He made $445,000. Volquez was the last Reds player in arbitration. MARLINS MIAMI — Infielder Greg Dobbs and right-hander Shawn Hill have signed minor-league contracts with the Florida Marlins and received invitations to spring training. Dobbs batted .196 in 88 games with Philadelphia last year. He is a career .260 hitter with 31 homers and 64 pinch-hits in seven big league seasons. YANKEES NEW YORK — Free agent pitcher Freddy Garcia and the New York Yankees have reached agreement on a minor league deal, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Monday night. The contract could be worth up to $5.1 million, and it also lets Garcia opt out by March 29.

FROM 1c as Livingstone made a huge run, penetrating, dishing, scoring — even rebounding. A 3-pointer by Aaron Wilson helped propel the surge, and the 6-8 Cox picked up a key and-one, hanging in the air and calmly banking in the shot after he was hacked. “There’s a lot of heart and will on this team and we don’t want to lose,” Cox said. “We knew what we had to do. We just had to get focused.” Livingstone trailed 67-63 with 40 seconds left, but Jackson spotted Carl Boswell open in the right corner. It was the only shot Boswell made, but it cut the deficit to one point. Then Jackson went sprawling, drawing an offensive foul. “He pushed me, so I fell down,” Jackson explained. With nine seconds left in regulation, Jackson drove, drew a foul and made one of two free throws to tie it. Then St. Augustine’s forward Darrell Glass couldn’t get a shot off against heavy pressure, and the teams went to overtime. “I think we were able to get to overtime mostly because the maturity level of this team has grown,” Stinson said. “For a time there, we tried to rally from that deficit all at once and that got us into trouble. But once we started taking it one possession at a time defensively, we were fine.” Livingstone’s struggle wasn’t over. The Blue Bears led 73-70 after Quintin Redfern hit a free throw with 1:43 remaining in overtime, but the

visitors scored the next four points. When 6-6 Shaun Washum’s runner got a friendly bounce off the rim and dropped through the cords with 12 seconds left, St. Augustine’s led 74-73. LC got the ball into the frontcourt and called timeout with seven seconds left. Boswell inbounded to Jackson. Johnson set a ball screen for Jackson at the top of the key, and Jackson, a right-handed player, drove left and attacked the rim. “They switched on the screen like we expected, and there was a big man on me,” Jackson said. “I just knew I had to go up strong and try to get the foul.” He obviously drew the foul, before he tossed up a prayer of a shot. The ball kicked off the far side of the rim and spun back into the hole for an amazing and-one. Livingstone led 75-74, and there was pandemonium. “That shot — it was just blessed,” Jackson said. Jackson missed the free throw, but it didn’t matter. All St. Aug’s could manage was a hopeless halfcourt heave as time expired. “We played good defense and our wings hit big shots in the second half,” Johnson said. “That gave us a chance, and then we saw the finish line.” ST.

Associated Press From around the NBA... MIAMI — Dwyane Wade scored 26 of his 34 points in the first half, LeBron James added 24 points and eight assists against his former team and the Miami Heat beat Cleveland 117-90 on Monday night, sending the Cavaliers to their 21st straight loss. Zydrunas Ilgauskas scored 12 points and had a season-high 14 rebounds for the Heat, who moved to 3-0 against the Cavs this season. Antawn Jamison finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds for the Cavaliers, who rallied from an early 19-point deficit to get within 70-67 in the third quarter. But James finished off a 19-5 Heat run to end the quarter and Miami cruised from there, turning it into a romp. Pacers 104, Raptors 93 INDIANAPOLIS — Roy Hibbert had 24 points and 11 rebounds to help Indiana beat the Raptors in Frank Vogel’s debut as Pacers interim coach. The 37-year-old Vogel replaced Jim O’Brien, who was fired on Sunday. Vogel said he would allow Hibbert to play through his mistakes, and the 7-foot-2 center rewarded his new coach with his highest-scoring game since Nov. 28. Darren Collison and Paul

George scored 16 points and Tyler Hansbrough added 14 as the Pacers extended Toronto’s losing streak to 12 games. The Raptors gave up 100 or more points for the eighth straight contest. Amir Johnson led Toronto with 18 points, and Jose Calderon and Ed Davis added 13. Nets 115, Nuggets 99 NEWARK, N.J. — Brook Lopez scored 27 points and Devin Harris had a careerhigh 18 assists as the Nets gave Carmelo Anthony an indication why he might want to play for New Jersey with a victory over the Nuggets. The game was the first between the teams since Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov told his team to halt extended trade talks with Denver for Anthony a little less than two weeks ago, saying the drawn-out negotiations were hurting his team. The Nets (15-34) are 5-3 since the talks ended, but Anthony gave the fans who jeered and cheered him at different times a clear indication why he is so valued, scoring 37 points — two shy of his season high.

Grizzlies defeated the Magic. Gilbert Arenas made one of two foul shots to cut the Grizzlies lead to 98-97 with 40 seconds left. Conley stole the ball from Orlando forward Ryan Anderson and was fouled. Dwight Howard was then called for a technical foul and Zach Randolph made the free throw. Conley made one of two free throws before Richardson’s shot missed badly. Mavericks 102, Wizards 92 DALLAS — Dirk Nowitzki scored 24 points, Tyson Chandler added 18 points and 18 rebounds, and the Dallas Mavericks stretched their winning streak to five games with a victory over Washington, keeping the Wizards winless on the road.

Associated Press From around the college basketball... COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Jordan Hamilton scored 20 points and No. 3 Texas rolled to a 69-49 win over No. 16 Texas A&M on Monday night, the Longhorns’ first victory in College Station since 2004. Texas never trailed and built a 25-point halftime lead thanks to hot shooting and their trademark stifling defense. The Aggies outscored the Longhorns by five points in the second half, but the dominant first half kept Texas (19-3, 7-0) undefeated in the Big 12. The Aggies (17-4, 4-3) have lost three of four in a skid that began when Texas beat them 81-60 in Austin less than two weeks ago to snap a 13-game winning streak. B.J. Holmes had 19 points for Texas A&M. The Longhorns haven’t lost since dropping an 82-81 overtime decision to Connecticut on Jan. 8 and are 7-0 in league play for the first time since 1977-78. Georgetown 62, Louisville 59 WASHINGTON — Chris Wright scored a season-high 24 points and Georgetown won its fifth straight despite blowing an 11-point second-half lead. Wright, who was held scoreless in the Hoyas’ win at thenNo. 8 Villanova on Saturday, went 8 for 8 from the free throw line, including making two with 4.4 seconds left that forced the Cardinals to attempt a 3-pointer to tie.

They just finished the league playoff tournament in Charlotte Jan. 22-23, finishing the season 9-3. They were undefeated in the weekend championship tournament. The Phenoms defeated last year's 2010 Division 1 State Champs to bring home this year's 2011 Run and Shoot QCAA Winter League Championship.

Favorites are the ones who play fair Game Time

Amateur sports from a coach's perspective. Salisbury High School's baseball coach Scott Maddox talks sports.

salisburypost.com/blogs/gametime/

Have you ever heard a kid say another student is a teacher’s pet? Or that the teacher shows favoritism toward another student? Well, it’s no different in sports. And let me just say I definitely have my favorites. But before you hop on the comments section, let me explain. Yes I do have favorites; they are the ones who do what I ask, listen, play hard, work hard, do their school work and stay out of trouble. Does this mean that they will be a starter or get extended playing time? No it doesn’t. Tell me how a person like this couldn’t be a favorite of any coach? I tell the students in my classroom the same thing.

What does being a favorite of a coach mean? Sure it can mean different things to different coaches, but for the most part it is pretty simple. A favorite is someone who you enjoy coaching, not because they are the best player, but because they are a good person. For some reason, favorites seem to always be the ones who, when you ask them to do something, get it done. Favorites are the ones who accept responsibility for their mistakes on the field, not the ones who always have an excuse. Favorites are the ones the other players look at working hard and work harder themselves because of it. Favorites are always early to practice and

the last ones to leave because they are helping the coach get the gear. As a coach, you have to be objective when deciding who plays and how much they play. There is no rule that says you have to be a likeable person to play. If you have the talent and meet the expectations of the team as far as rules and conduct go, and you perform, then you should be good to go. But I think most coaches, when pressed, would admit that there are times when the accomplishments of certain players bring a little extra smile to their faces, even if no one else sees it. So, next time you hear someone say that a coach plays favorites, take a minute to think about what being a favorite means to a coach. I promise you, most coaches, although they may have favorites, play to win. And playing to win means putting the best players on the field. But hey, don’t hate the favorite if they happen to be one of the best, too.

Back-pain sufferer finds relief Dear Dr. Gott: For the past 17 years, within two hours of falling asleep, a painfully stiff lower back would wake me and continually plague me throughout the night. Before this started, I was active — riding my bike, golfing and exercising regularly. Eventually, I gave up all activity, inDR. PETER cluding my daily 30GOTT minute walk, because the more I moved during the day, the worse the pain became at night. I tried pain pills, sleeping pills, muscle relaxers, lidocaine patches, heating pads, ice packs, stretching, walking around, sleeping on the couch and sleeping in a chair. Nothing worked. Sometimes it got so bad I would just stand in the middle of the room crying, begging for relief. Orthopedic specialists, physical therapists and chiropractors all examined me. The only diagnosis I received was that I had a form of fibromyalgia. Once again, I asked my family doctor, who is an anti-aging specialist and proponent of alternative medicine, what else she might have in her bag of tricks. She came up with a supplement called Soft Tissue Support Pak, distributed by Ortho Molecular Products. It is a package of eight supplements designed to re-

Bridge hand: Should you win or lose trick one? return a diamond. You win that trick, draw trumps, and take the club finesse. It loses, but you have those 10 winners. Note that if you win the first trick with dummy’s diamond ace, draw trumps, and run the club eight, East will win that trick and should return a low diamond to his partner’s queen. Then West should have no trouble in shifting to a heart. How does East know West has the diamond queen? Because a fourth-highest lead shows at least one honor in that suit.

pair soft-tissue injury. From the first night I took the supplements, I slept pain-free. I have been taking it for more than two months, and it’s still working. I have also started exercising, bike riding and walking again. It is truly a miracle, in my estimation. I know many people in the Internet chat rooms have the same symptoms I do and can’t find relief. I hope this information is helpful to anyone who may be suffering from a similar torture. It’s a bit costly, between $2 and $3 per nightly package, but it’s more than worth it for a night’s sleep. Thank you for your column and all the folks it helps, including me. Dear reader: I was easily able to find Soft Tissue Support Paks by Ortho Molecular Products online. I could not find a package of eight, only nine and 30. According to the website, the product contains vitamins C and B6, calcium, magnesium, turmeric, various enzymes and extracts, and other alternative supplements. The product is fairly expensive. A box of 30 costs about $69, with shipping ranging from free to nearly $50, meaning each pack costs between just over $2 to just under $4. A box of nine costs just over $29, and shipping ranges from about $10 to $50, with each pack costing between $4 and $9. The top of the website boasts a fairly large badge

claiming it is a Better Business Bureau-accredited business. When clicking on this, I traveled to the BBB website, where I found that Doctor’s Choice Inc., of which Ortho Molecular Products is a part, had an A+ rating. (The BBB system ranges from A+ to F.) I was fairly impressed by this, but in trying to learn more about Doctor’s Choice Inc. and its various subsidiaries, I was disappointed. I was able to discern that the company is about 10 years old. (A further look at the BBB page showed it was established in December 2000.) On the whole, I wouldn’t recommend this product, primarily owing to its cost; however, because you have had such success, I suggest you stick with it. I cannot see that the product would be harmful. (It does carry warnings against use during pregnancy or nursing and in those with allergies to pineapple and bromelain.) So, if any of my readers choose to try it, I ask that they send me their results. I will print a follow-up article once I receive sufficient reports. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

Darrin Weinberg said, “It matters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose.” That is a good attitude at the bridge table. And this week we are looking at whether to win or lose trick one. You, South, are in four spades. West leads the diamond three. What would you do? North’s response of two no-trump was the Jacoby Forcing Raise, showing four or more spades and at least the values for game. Your jump to four spades announced a minimum opening bid. If you check possible losers, you will find four: two hearts, one diamond and one club. But you also have 10 winners: six spades, one diamond and three clubs. What is the danger? There is only one way to go down: East has the heart

ace and club king, and West regains the lead to push a heart through dummy’s king. What would West’s entry have to be? The diamond king or queen. How can you make sure that card cannot win a trick? Play low from the dummy at trick one. East will win with his king and probably

With drummer injured, Kings of Leon postpones dates NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Rock band Kings of Leon has been forced to postpone several international tour dates because their drummer is injured A news release from the band says Nathan Followill’s surgery for a torn right bicep and labrum will force postponements of tours in South Africa and Australia until October and November. The band will still play a few scheduled dates, including an appearance at the

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 15. Spokesman Ken Weinstein says Followill hurt himself while working out. The surgery will require several months of rehabilitation, but Followill is expected to play all shows with the band this spring, starting with Cochella and including European dates in May, June and July. Kings of Leon, made up of Followill, his brothers Caleb and Jared, and cousin Matthew, is up for two Grammy Awards on Feb. 13.

Another major winter storm will affect the Eastern US on Tuesday. An intense weather pattern including two areas of low pressure, one over the High Plains and one over the Southern Plains, will converge over the Central US on Tuesday. This systems will strengthen together as they move off of the higher elevations and into the Plains, but moist flow from the Gulf of Mexico will help this system produce significant snow and rain over the Eastern half of the nation. Expect two strong fronts to be produced with a warm front extending up the Ohio River Valley and into the Northeast, while a cold front extends southward over the Southeast and Gulf states. Starting with the Upper Mississippi River Valley, expect light snow in the morning, with blowing snow throughout the day as winds range from 10 to 20 mph. In the Mid-Mississippi River Valley, severe winter storm advisories have been issued due to snowfall accumulation of 5 to 8 inches likely across Missouri and Illinois. Blizzard conditions are also likely as winds reach up to 25 and 30 mph, gusting up to 40 mph. As this system moves up the Ohio River Valley in the afternoon and evening hours, expect increasing snow showers throughout the day, with up to 12 inches anticipated Tuesday night. New England and the Northeast will also see increasingly snowy conditions. Expect a messy combination of snow and sleet across Pennsylvania and New York state with accumulation up to 6 inches.

Battle of the Ages Free caregiver support series helps families overcome resistance of seniors who need help Submitted by HOME INSTEAD SENIOR CARE

Just when you thought that a family caregiver’s job couldn’t get more difficult, consider this: Many of the households caring for a senior in Rowan County are trying to help an aging relative who’d rather not have help. A study of family caregivers who responded to a survey on caregiverstress.com, conducted for the Home Instead Senior Care® network, revealed that more than half of the respondents (51 percent) said that their aging relative was very resistant to care. These seniors often object to help whether it’s from a family caregiver or a professional who tries to come into their homes to assist. “This is a real problem for family caregivers worried about the safety of a senior loved one who might be forgetting food on the stove or neglecting to take their medications,” said Jena Hare, co- owner of the Home Instead Senior Care® office serving Rowan County. “Some seniors are so resistant I’ve heard stories of them calling the police when their family members have arranged for a caregiver to visit their home.” But experts say that keeping fiercely independent seniors safe at home isn’t a lost cause; there are solutions for them and their family caregivers. That’s why the Home Instead Senior Care network is launching Caring for Your Parents: Education for the Family CaregiverSM. This family caregiver support series addresses senior resistance to care and features a variety of topics such as choosing an in-home care provider, the signs of aging, long distance caregiving and communicating with aging parents. Materials and videos are available at www.caregiverstress.com or a family caregiver seminar can be presented free of charge to your group by your Home Instead Senior Care® Community Service Representative. Why do seniors resist help? “If seniors admit they need help, they feel their independence is in question,” said Hare. “Seniors believe that once they acknowledge they need help, they’ll lose control of their affairs. They are trying to maintain dignity. Unless they feel they can trust someone, they resist change. I believe it’s the fear that life as they’ve known it will be taken away from them.”

Sometimes seniors only want help from a son or daughter, which can put undue pressure on that family caregiver who feels he or she can’t call for professional help. Most caregivers can go into “crisis mode” to rally around a loved one in the short-term, “but you can't be totally immersed in a crisis mode long-term without your own family, work and health suffering,” according to family caregiving consultant Dr. Amy D’Aprix, who holds a Ph.D. and master’s degree in social work and is author of From Surviving to Thriving: Transforming Your Caregiving Experience. The strain can take a particular toll on working family caregivers. The Home Instead Senior Care study revealed that 42 percent of caregivers spend more than 30 hours a week caregiving. That’s the equivalent of a second full-time job. And that’s what makes countering that resistance to assistance so important. “Many times family caregivers make assumptions but never ask: ‘Mom, I’ve noticed that every time I bring up having someone come in to assist, you don’t want help. Why is that?’ Sometimes the parent doesn’t realize they’re being resistant,” D’Aprix added. “Also, reassuring a senior loved one that you have the same goal in mind will help,” D’Aprix said. “Start with: ‘My goal for you is to be independent, too. You know I can’t be here all the time. A little extra assistance will help you stay at home.’” Hare said the battle to turn resistance into assistance can be fierce, like the senior who calls police when a professional caregiver shows up. “Education can help arm family caregivers with the tools they need to create a win-win for everyone.”

What is a Baby Boomer?

The term "Baby Boomer" is used to describe people born between the years 1946 and 1964. These were children conceived after the soldiers from World War II came back home to be with their loved ones.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2011

l a i c Spe Top Songs of the Baby Boomer Era Baby Boomers were born between the years 1946 and 1964. Here is a list of "Billboard" magazine's number-one-hits that were on the radio airwaves while Boomers were being welcomed into this world.

Because this time in North America was one of growth and prosperity, and helped to produce nearly 20 million new children, it was said to be a Baby Boom era. Author Landon Jones is credited with creating the term "Baby Boomer" in his book "Great Expectations: America and the Baby Boom Generation."

Many people have tried to define this generation with generalizations that boast varying degrees of accuracy. The Baby Boomer generation has been instrumental in helping to reform the music, politics and culture of the 1960s and 1970s. Boomers are associated with proliferating feminism, gay rights, civil rights, and many other efforts that changed the complexion of modern day society.

1950: "Mona Lisa," Nat King Cole 1951: "Because of You," Tony Bennett 1952: "Cry," Johnny Ray and The Four Lads 1953: "The Doggie in the Window," Patti Page

According to research, Baby Boomers tend to reside in metropolitan and suburban areas more so than rural areas. And when polled by the American Association of Retired People, 20 percent have said they would probably do some sort of work after retirement.

Baby Boomers Should Plan Ahead

Estate planning is the process of dissolving the items and property owned, as well as making end-of-life arrangements. Taking steps while one is physically and mentally able ensures that plans will be carried out as a person desired. It can also alleviate some of the burden on surviving family members when the time comes. There are a number of things individuals can keep in mind when planning their estates and making other important decisions. * An estate plan is important regardless of personal wealth. A per-

son with only $10 to his name can still draw up a plan. * It's never too soon to start estate planning. While it's hopeful to expect a long life, sudden illness or other conditions are impossible to predict. Taking the time now to create an estate plan ensures that desires will be met and family will be left knowing how to carry out a person's wishes. * Estate planning involves a number of components: - Will - Power Of Attorney/Executor Of Estate

son dies. It is inexpensive to draw up a will (there are even legal forms a person can purchase to do it oneself) even if an attorney is hired. At the least, everyone should have a will. * Compile a list of all personal assets and account numbers. It will help others sort through personal effects when the time comes. * Boomers should talk about their plans. Inheritances and wills can be tricky business and one that causes heated debate during a time of great emotion. Talking about plans beforehand allows surviving family and friends to be aware of what lies ahead.

* Consider reducing your estate. Individuals can give up to $13,000 per year ($26,000 if gifting as a couple). This can reduce the potential tax burden on a spouse or a family member if estate funds are given to them after a person's death. Unlimited medical and educational bills can be paid if they are made payable directly to the institution where the expense was incurred. Baby Boomers in the prime of life may not want to think about estate planning and end-of-life issues. However, it's never too soon to set a plan in motion to protect loved ones.

- Living Will Or Healthcare Proxy - Trust * A will is perhaps one of the most important estate planning documents to draw up. It wills where assets will go and who will be in charge of financial and personal affairs when a per-

The senior population is growing by leaps and bounds. According to the United States Census Bureau, by 2011 there will be twice the amount of seniors that there were in 2000. That's because the first Baby Boomers will turn 65 that year. Boomers should start thinking about estate planning now if they haven't already.

Some Medicare Beneficiaries May Still Change Their Prescription Drug Coverage The details, options and deadlines surrounding Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plans (PDP) still confuse many people. If you’re like some Medicare beneficiaries out there, you might have kept your PDP simply so you didn’t have to worry about the six-week annual election period. But you may have now discovered that some of your drugs that were covered last year are not covered this year. You may feel stuck. Here’s the good news- if you fall into one of several categories, you might not be stuck after all. In fact, if you are receiving assistance for paying for your Medicare prescription drug coverage through the federal “Extra Help” program, or if you are a member of the State Prescription Assistance Program (NCRx), or if you have Medicare and Medicaid, it’s not too late to switch your Medicare coverage.

Whether you’re shopping for your first Medicare supplement or wondering if you could save on your current premiums, see our rates. You just might whoop for joy.

To determine if you qualify for this coverage change, keep reading.

Build your financial foundation with life insurance security it offers brings a level of comfort that most people can’t do without. In addition, most people will find that life insurance coverage is a key component as they plan for their long-term financial goals. None of us can control whether we will have tomorrow, but protecting the people in our lives is something we can take control of today.

“I know I need it, but I don’t want to think about it now.” “I’ll deal with it later, it’s not a priority.” These are two of the most common responses when the topic of life insurance comes up. Despite being saddled with a reputation as a boring financial product, life insurance still remains a product that many financial profes• NOT A DEPOSIT • NOT FDIC INSURED • NOT INSURED BY ANY sionals agree should be the foundation on which peoFEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCY • NOT GUARANTEED BY THRIVENT ple should build their financial goals. FINANCIAL BANK • MAY LOSE VALUE

Why so? First, think about your loved ones. The primary benefit of life insurance is to provide for them, helping them meet daily expenses and continue the activities of daily life without any further major disruption. Proceeds from life insurance can be used by families to pay bills—like credit card and mortgage bills— as well as daily necessities such as groceries, gas, etc. Without adequate life insurance coverage, many families could be placed under great financial distress to meet the ongoing financial obligations of their new lives. Life insurance can also protect one’s spouse against sharp reductions in future pension and Social Security payments by replacing assets cut short by premature death. For example, it is not unusual for a surviving spouse to receive less than half of his or her spouse’s projected pension because death has interrupted anticipated contributions flowing into the plan. And it’s not just at home where life insurance can help. Life insurance can help business owners and others with significant assets to pass those assets to their loved ones in a tax-efficient manner. It also serves as a tremendous tool enabling people to support nonprofit organizations through charitable gifts. Life insurance may not be a popular topic, but the

Encouraging Independence in Seniors – Maintaining Quality of Life Submitted by Lori Eberly, Comfort Keepers

As a caregiver, it is important to encourage independence in seniors, but also to interact with them in ways that provide the opportunity for them to maintain a better quality of life for themselves. By participating in activities with your senior loved one, not only are you showing that you care – the acts you undertake together can help improve their overall health. In fact, research indicates that keeping seniors physically, mentally, socially and emotionally engaged can help them retain better cognitive function, stay healthier and live independently longer.[1] As the seniors in our lives grow older, daily interaction is vital to their health and happiness. However, when caring for a loved one, it is easy to get into the habit of doing things “for” them rather than “with” them. Let’s face it – it can be more efficient to do everything yourself. Seniors are seasoned pros at doing things for themselves, but, due to aging bodies or underlying health issues, aspects of everyday living sometimes become a bit challenging both mentally and physically. Seniors may need your help, but doing everything for them is neither the

answer nor does it cultivate a better quality of life that can be achieved by learning the art of Interactive Caregiving™. Interactive Caregiving™ is not just a term defined by Comfort Keepers®, it is a specific, engaging way of life. By definition, Interactive Caregiving™ promotes physical, mental, social and emotional wellbeing. When put into action, this philosophy focuses on the person as a whole, helps seniors live the highest possible quality of life by keeping them happy and engaged, and fosters healthy independent living within their own homes. The true art of caregiving for the elderly extends beyond task-oriented responsibilities and includes engaging in activities that help maintain a healthy spirit and body. Talk to the senior in your life to help determine what their interests are, then form a plan to do those things together! When planning your activities, keep the elements of Interactive Caregiving™ in mind. · Physical activity, which should always be approved by the senior’s physician, helps reduce the severity of illness, and makes seniors stronger and less like-

ly to fall. Dancing can reduce high blood pressure, strengthen bones and lower the risk of heart disease. Dancing with friends also provides a social outlet that stimulates the mind and can reduce the effects of dementia. Activities such as gardening and cleaning the house inspire positive self-esteem and higher qualities of life. · Socializing with family and friends, as well as attending parties or other events, makes seniors feel less isolated and promotes good memory retention. The effects of being socially active are just as beneficial as physical activity in terms of self-esteem and achieving a higher quality of life, which is important to note for seniors who are unable to exercise. · Mental stimulation, such as crossword puzzles or other brain games, keeps minds active and facilitates healthy mental and emotional function. Mental wellbeing fosters a sharp mind and a positive outlook on life. · Emotional wellbeing depends on several factors, such as feeling connected to family and friends, being involved in the community or taking on a hobby. Emotional stability helps seniors be

happy and optimistic, which can keep depression at bay. Encourage seniors to help with tasks they are able to perform, such as folding laundry and writing a grocery list. Play a game or work on a puzzle, read the paper over a morning cup of coffee, and take a walk together after lunch. Shopping together provides another form of exercise and the chance to do something together. Planting flowers and other gardening activities are not only fun, but provide a sense of accomplishment when you both step back to enjoy the fruits of your labor. There are many more activities than these few that can improve the quality of life for seniors. Use your imaginations and work together to plan fun things that will transform even the most mundane daily activities into special memories that last a lifetime. About Comfort Keepers®: Comfort Keepers provides in-home companionship and personal care on an hourly, daily, weekly or live-in basis for individuals needing assistance with activities of daily living.

or she is resisting. “Mom, I notice that every time I bring up the idea of someone coming in to help, you resist it. Why is that?” Oftentimes older adults don’t realize they are being resistant.

Talk with us before you make a decision. Power Wheel We can help! Chair

2. Explain your goals. Remind your loved one that you both want the same thing. Explain that a little extra help can keep her at home longer and will help put your mind at ease as well. Have a candid conversation with him about the impact this care is having on your life. Oftentimes seniors don’t understand the time commitment of a caregiver.

Demonstrations

3. Bring in outside help. If a relationship with a parent is deteriorating, ask a professional, such as a geriatric care manager, for an assessment. A third-party professional can provide valuable input. Also, go to www.4070talk.com for tips on how to talk with a loved one. If you are having problems getting through to your older adult, consider asking another family member or close friend to intervene. If you’re not making headway, perhaps there’s someone better to talk with your parents. Try out the custom comfort of a lift chair

4. Research your options to find the best resources for your loved one. Contact your local Area Agency on Aging or a geriatric care manager to research resources in your community. Or go to www.homeinstead.com and click on the resources tab for The Home Care Solution, a guide for family caregivers to help them find the best in-home care for their loved ones. If you decide outside help is needed, reassure your parents and tell them you have researched caregivers and you are confident you have found the best one you can find to come into the home to help.

5. Respect your parent’s decisions. Sometimes you won’t agree with your parent’s decisions and that’s O.K. As long as your loved one is of sound mind, he or she should have the final say. A note: If your senior has dementia, seek professional assistance from a doctor or geriatric care manager. Logic often will not work and other strategies must be employed.

a green light when I got to the square.) He could have taken my jacket home to his wife, mother, daughter, etc. but he was more concerned in getting it back to its handicapped owner. I had no reward to give him, but God will remember what he did for “one of the least of these brethren.” I went across the street to wait on the van and talked to the manager at the Okey Dokey Shop about a bookcase I have that needs a back on it so things won’t fall out when I am working from the other side. We talked about disability and how I need things right within my reach from my lift chair. He said if I would get it to him that he could fix it for $15. I think I only paid $15 for it at the new Restore business when it opened, but I thought this sounded like a good deal. After all, everyone has to make a living! Once again, I felt I was in the right place at the right time saying the right thing. God continues to send angels to watch over me, so once again when I was telling someone about this her husband stepped forward and fixed the book case without charge and he even had something of his own to use. When I had the problems with my van, several people gave me money to cover part of the expense. A number of people have stepped forward to help with the mailing expenses of the cards to our soldiers overseas. If this help were not available, I would not be able to continue with this ministry. These events happened right after the “who would have thought” article was in the paper. Within hours after that paper came out, an elderly lady in Woodleaf called to tell me she had more rocks than I could possibly use if someone could come after them!

I don’t know what I would do without the kindness of others and so many are perfect strangers; I started to say “complete” strangers, but sometimes they feel they know me even if I don’t know them. Some folks go out of their way to step forward to open doors for me. If I’m struggling with a shopping cart, folks will hurry to help put my groceries on the counter. (There are some who will just stand idly watching me struggle, but we won’t talk about those.) Recently, for the first time in over a year I had to use the RITA disability van service as I had an unexpected problem with my van. I didn’t want to drive it until I found out for sure what was causing the problem. It was a beautiful October day and I decided to ride around town on my scooter one more day before winter. To my disappointment, Hap’s was closed for their yearly fall break so I went to the new bakery shop for my third cream horn since they opened….umm delicious! But since they don’t sell Cheerwine, I took off to the drugstore on Main Street to get one of those ice cold bottled ones. As I sat out on the sidewalk having my little picnic, I realized I had left a catalog on a table at the bakery so back I went. I had been gone about thirty minutes but a nice young delivery man held out a purple rain jacket and asked, “Are you looking for this?” I did not realize it had fallen off my cart, but I would be lost without it. The jacket was one of those “real bargains” that I bought years ago and still looks fairly new. He said he had seen it fall off but had to unload some things out of his arms before he could try to catch me. He said that I had vanished so quickly that he didn’t know where to look. (It just happened that I had
