Shriners step up to help family cope with surgeries Brittle bones affect 7-year-old BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
For each of the last three years, Brendan Rothwell, 7, has undergone surgery. Brendan, a first-grader at Morgan Elementary, was born with a genetic disorder, neurofibromatosis, which is marked by tumors that may cause bumps under the skin, birthmarks and skeletal problems. In Brendan’s case, it caused his right leg to become curved. In September 2008, he broke his lower leg. His par-
ents, David and Kim Rothwell, were not surprised because of his brittle bones. “The doctor said it was going to break,” David said. Brendan wears a leg brace made to stabilize and straighten his leg. Medicaid covers his leg braces, but only two a year. At the rate he grows, he requires more braces than funded. The extra braces and surgeries were more than Brendan’s family could afford, but they have been paid for thanks to the Oasis Shriners, who are based in Florida. His
family travels from their home in Gold Hill to Greenville, S.C., the n e a r e s t Shriners Hospital, where doctors insert rods and screws into the bone to stabilize the MISENHEIMER broken bone fragments. Doctors cut away the diseased part of bone from Brendan’s leg and graft in bone from his hip. “It was such a large piece of diseased bone, they could
not take it all out,” Kim said. “When his leg grows they replace the rod,” David said. Tony Misenheimer, a member of the Oasis Shriners, connected the Rothwell’s with the Shriners. Misenheimer lives in Rockwell, and learned about the family’s plight. “I’m happy we found the Shriners,” David said. “If he wasn’t at Shriners, he wouldn’t have his leg,” Kim said. There have been very few cases similar to Brendan’s sHavonne Potts/SAliSBUry PoST where bones have healed. Brendan rothwell spends much of his time on the couch with Other doctors refused to

The Rowan-Salisbury School System’s safety procedures were recently tested when a student at Knox Middle School found a “hit list” and turned it in to school administrators. “Because school officials and law enforcement responded quickly and appropriately, no students were hurt and the school day was not interrupted,” said Rita Foil, the district’s pubic information officer. “Situations like this let us know that the procedures that are in place are working.” Foil said each school in Rowan County has a Safe School Plan built into their School Improvement Plan. The plans are SGT. BOB PRICE available on Rowan County each school’s Sheriff’s Office website by clicking “Improvement Plan” on the left. The Safe School Plans are created by principals, School Improvement Teams (SIT) and law enforcement officials and are revised every two years. “Internal safety procedures are reviewed annually or sooner if needed,” Foil said. Foil said administrators also receive training to handle crisis situations. “We partner with the Rowan County Sheriff’s department to conduct routine safety drills, including lock-down drills,” she said. Schools go into lock-down mode when there is a safety threat near the school, or even on the campus. “The school may lock exterior doors and not allow students and staff to be outdoors until the threat is cleared,” Foil said. The sheriff’s office helps the school system conduct two lockdown drills per year at every school. Before the first announced drill, Sgt. Bob Price and his team prepare school faculty through a variety of presentations. Price said the first drill gives him

The Coolwater Band finds loyal, local fans BY SUSAN SHINN For the Salisbury Post
HINA GROVE — It’s Saturday night at the Lucky Turnaround in China Grove. Smoke hangs heavy in the air and the crowd that’s gathering is clearly ready for a good time. Promptly at 9:25, the lights go down and Darrell Harwood and the Coolwater Band start to play in a tiny side room off the main bar area. Never heard of ’em? You will. ••• Earlier in the week, the scene is much more staid in Darrell’s garage as the band gathers for a rehearsal. Tell you the truth, the garage is larger than the room the band will play Saturday night. There are the typical beer signs on the wall, and all their equipment is set up and ready to go. Although the CWB played its first real gig Labor Day weekend, most of its members have

been making music for years. This ain’t their first rodeo. Eric Upton, 44, is guitarist, and is the only member of the group whose day job is his night job, too. He’s owner of Oasis School of Music in China Grove. Darrell calls him the mastermind of the operation. The group’s elder statesman is bass guitarist Ronnie Harwood, Darrell’s daddy, who turns 66 next month. In the early 1970s, he played in the Coolwater Band with Gary Freeze, Wayne Reynolds and Randy Overcash. This weekend, he’ll play his farewell concert. “I can’t keep up with these young boys,” says Ronnie, who adds that he just stands there and plays during concerts — none of this jumping and dancing around business for him. Stepping into Ronnie’s position is bassist Buddy Martin, 47, who plays with Eric in a rock band, Kingpin. Charles Hunt, 39, plays

YESTERDAY: Hornet nest Robert Elium of Lynchburg, Va., supplied this photograph of the old Hudson dealership, once located at 204 W. Innes St. in Salisbury. “This photo must have been taken in the 1920s, due to the age of the cars in the picture,” Elium says. “Later, there were two bays on the left side and a showroom on the right side. The pump at the street was removed and a large porcelain sign was put in that space. I have that sign, and it is still in perfect condition.” Elium worked at the Hudson dealership — then Haynes Motor Co. — for three months after graduating from Boyden High School in 1952 before starting his career with Southern Railway. Elium received this photo from Jean Haynes, who was a classmate at Boyden High. Haynes’ father-in-law ran the dealership for many years before selling it to Woods in Spencer in 1954. “In the early days, most car dealerships were located in the downtown area,” Elium says. “I have a 1953 phone book, and most of them were in two or three blocks of each other.” A side note: Elium purchased a 1949 Hudson from Haynes Motor Co. in 1953. He still owns a 1953 Hudson Hornet.
Athletes can be susceptible to eating disorders Last week I talked about what measures I took to drop weight to meet my weight class. With this week’s column I hope to create awareness, understanding and hopefully a way to recognize symptoms and signs prior to a full blown eating disorder such as bulimia, coming from a “recovered bulimic.” My own eating disorder started ESTER as an “innocent” MARSH way to make my weight class for competition. I would use the wrong measures to do so. As a perfectionist, it is quite easy to get obsessed with something. Fortunately, with age and many years of “recovery” I have learned that it is good to strive for perfection, but there has to be a healthy balance between the mind, the body and reality. So what happened? In the past I have often wondered how I became a bulimic. It was the darkest time and place I have ever been in. Binge dieting to make my weight class was definitely a building block. Being a muscular girl, with sensitivity about buying girl’s clothing when your shoulders are too big and your thighs too muscular to fit in anything cute, was definitely another issue. I started teaching group exercise classes when I was 16 and I realized that exercising a lot made me lose weight, too. At first, when I had my bingeeating episodes, I just exercised a lot. Three intense classes in a row, well, it was my job. That is
what I would tell myself and others when they asked why I taught so many intense classes in a row. Remember, that was in addition to my personal workouts. I did well in judo, winning many competitions and one big international FICEP championship, a European tournament held every four years. I had many injuries from training, and I my eating habits were so awful when I over-exercised that I didn’t let my injuries heal properly. (I can tape any part on your body.) By over-exercising, not giving my body the food it needed with my crash diets, I believe I set myself up for more injuries. I hurt my lower back very bad and had huge problems. Training started to be affected by it and slowly I started to pull back from top-level judo. Used to eating the way I did, I gained quite a bit of weight. A doctor recommended I start a fitness program for my back, so I started at a fitness center in my hometown of Valkenswaard, Netherlands. When I went to the gym, I was stronger and more muscular than any girl (and many guys) they had ever seen. I was quickly converted to become a body builder, and I really loved working out. I loved seeing the changes in my body and loved feeling the burn.” It didn’t take long that I was entered in my first body-building competition. Then the real dieting began. Judo requires meeting a weight class. No one cares how you look. Body building it is all about the look. You stand in a tiny bikini in
front of hundreds, maybe thousands of people looking at every muscle you’ve got. Suddenly, diet is key. I did well, and my body changed tremendously. I dieted well for six months. I blew my weight class away and even became the overall winner. I transformed from a block of muscle into a curved body builder, without using steroids. After the competition, what did we do? We ate everything we could find. Of course, your system goes in shock and you spend most of the night on the toilet but it was worth it. I had a couple a more competitions and I won all of them. Then it was time for a break and gain some size. That’s when my problems with purging really set in. I was ripped at my competitions. You could see every muscle and its fiber. In the off season though, my bdy fat went from just 6 percent (very low for a female) to 13 percent. In my mind, I went from normal to obese and I had the hardest time dealing with that “weight gain.” I continued to over-exercise, with three hours of intense aerobics in a row, in addition to a morning workout and an evening workout, each lasting at least an hour and a half. My parents tried at times to pull me back, without success. At the time (1982-88), my body building world extreme workouts were heroic, and bulimia turned into binge eating. Some of you understand, some of you might be struggling with this right now, some of you completely do not understand this.

Please don’t judge. Help, understand, and support if at all possible. Here are some signs of “prebulimia”: • Obsession with weight and appearance. • Excessively weighing oneself. • Exercising more than three hours a day, seven days a week. • Never satisfied with any weight loss. Sometimes very verbal about it. Many times, very quiet, even depressed. • Always on a diet or trying to eat the right things in an obsessive way. Signs of bulimia: • Eating whatever they want, but disappearing after they have eaten. • Eat normal, but then hiding “forbidden” foods to eat alone. • Weighing themselves numerous times a day. • Chewing gum all the time or brushing their teeth many times a day, which gets rid of the odor of vomiting. • Excessive use of laxatives. (I never did that but I know many who did. • Sudden dental problems. Not giving your body the nutrients. And the stomach acid from throwing up kills the enamel of your teeth. If you think you have a problem, or if you have a friend, family member you suspect has a problem, talk to your doctor. There are ways to beat this. When I look back, I battled with bulimia for seven years. I would now rather be overweight than be back in that dark time of my life.

Salisbury Planning Board will hear two rezoning requests at 4 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall, including one that could lead to a year-round farmer’s market. Timothy Hoffner, owner of Early Bird Investments LLC, will ask Planning Board to rezone about 3.47 acres on Sherrills Ford Road from Neighborhood Mixed Use to Highway Business. He also will request the board remove the existing General Development-A Overlay from the properties. The two vacant parcels are located just north of the intersection of Sherrills Ford Road and N.C. 150. Hoffner is interested in developing a permanent farmer’s market in the location, City Planner Preston Mitchell said in documents prepared for the board. In the other request, Poole & Hudson Properties will ask the board to rezone about three-quarters of an acre at 530 Faith Road from Urban Residential to Residential Mixed-Use. The property is located at the corner of Faith Road and Fairview Street, across from Gold Hill Drive. Trey Hudson would like to reuse a house on the property for professional office space, Mitchell said. A local interior decorator would like to use the house as an office and studio, he said.

NC alcohol bureau has to ditch 150 unreliable weapons RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s Alcohol Law Enforcement agency has replaced 150 handguns about a year after buying them because the weapons were defective, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Sunday. Agency director John Ledford said the Kimber pistols, which originally cost $1,055, were swapped out for a less pricey gun through a local firearms dealer so the agency would not have to spend any more money. The state’s more than 130 alcohol enforcement agents and reserve officers rarely use their weapons, but an agent was killed in the line of duty in 1994. Typically, the agents conduct background checks on people applying for liquor licenses and chase bootleggers. “Failure of a weapon during training is problematic enough, but if any of these types of failures occurred during a lifeand-death situation, the result could be loss of life to a sworn member of the division or an innocent civilian,” Ledford wrote in a November memo to justify the new weapons. “During violent encounters with armed suspects, reliability and speed are paramount.” From the time agents received the guns in fall 2009 through, Ledford said agents documented 289 malfunctions with the pistols during training exercises. That led several agents to start carrying personal weapons instead of the Kimbers, Ledford wrote in a memo Nov. 8. Kimber America chief operating officer Ralph Karanian would not discuss specific malfunctions with the newspaper. “Kimber stands solidly behind every product with unwavering warranty service,” Karanian said in a news release from a company spokesman. The company replaced a key spring on the pistols, according to Ledford’s memo. But since the warranty was to expired at the end of 2010, Ledford decided to replace the weapons. The newspaper reported that a review

Art students exhibit their work at local gallery BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
If artist skill is hereditary, then Carver Walser has the gene. It’s in his bloodline. The Knox Middle School student, along with his family of artists, gathered at the Looking Glass Artist Collective for a Sunday exhibit and reception for area students. Carver, 13, created his drawing after his teacher instructed him to draw what he wanted his room to look like in the future. He included a skylight, a mini fridge, a hot tub and a flat-screen TV. He hopes to become an artist and track runner, both things he loves. His father, Matt, paints, but says his son does much better at freehand drawing than he did at Carver’s age. “I am very proud of him,” Carver’s dad said. Carver’s mother, Christine, also draws. So does his little brother, Milo, 9, and his grandmother, Suzanne Jones, who taught art at Sacred Heart School. Jones’ mother was also an artist. Carver’s work has also been on display at the Salisbury Civic Center and at school. There are more than 230 pieces of artwork on display. MyAyana Lyles, 12, a student at North Rowan Middle School shared the moment with her grandmother, Delores Medlin, who is also an artist. MyAyana walked around the room in search of her piece. She found it and beamed as she pointed out to her a picture of her two dogs, one of which had died, too her grandmother. “I just felt like drawing it,” MyAyana said. Though her grandmother hasn’t passed on any tips as of late, she’s definitely willing to be MyAyana’s mentor. “Whenever she’s ready,” Medlin said. MyAyana’s uncle also showed up to support her work on display. April Pearman always knew her daughter Brittany Walker, 12, loved to draw.
The North Rowan sixthgrader at first didn’t know what to draw, so she designed a piece around things she liked — flowers, water and the sun. She’s been drawing since second grade. “I feel good,” she said of having her family’s support. This is the first time her work has ever been on display. “I’d like to be a professional artist,” she said. Her father is also into art, Brittany said. “She’s always doing something with her hands,” said her grandfather, Hullen C. Walker Sr. West Rowan High School student Dakota Goodson, 14, attended the reception with his father, Scott. Dakota’s only instruction was to use papier mache so he decided on a giraffe. “I thought I’d give it a try,” Dakota said. It was the first time any of his artwork has been on display. “I’m not much of a drawer,” Dakota said. His father was proud of him and said Dakota does great work at building things. He built a porch swing for his grandmother as a Christmas present. It took him a month to complete the swing. “I’m amazed. He’s a great kid,” Scott said. Jesus Navarrete, 18, a student at South Rowan High School, never expected that his drawing would be a part of an exhibit. He used a pen to make dots into a portrait of Pancho Villa, a Mexican general. It was to be a Christmas present for his dad. “It took me about a week,” Jesus said. The picture of Pancho Villa on a horse Jesus derived from a photo, but the mountains in the background were from his own imagination. He’s had other artwork on display at the China Grove Roller Mill Museum. “I like stippling the best. I ideas just come from my head,” he said.
Carson High School student Jessica Stark, 16, shows a book she created using several different materials including feathers and the Beatles lyrics. Another piece he created is used as a logo for his church youth group. “I feel excited. I never really expected any of this,” he said. Corriher Lipe Middle School student Augusta Shaver went to Hobby Lobby and came back with an idea for her piece. She was assigned to create something from a shoe. She used a flip flop to make a diorama of a cityscape. This exhibit was the fourth time her work has
been on display. Augusta also likes to draw. Her dad Jim also draws. Art teacher Lynn Haynes said she chose Augusta’s work because it best represented the theme. “She did a great job of coming up with something brand new,” Haynes said. Haynes said it’s great to see students share their work with the community. It also let’s the community see the “accomplishments

Maintaining the presence of warmth W
inter memories sometimes consist of recollections of our efforts at keeping warm, such efforts aided by our mothers in making sure that we were warmly dressed for play in a season which was unsuited for shirtsleeves. In summertime, the warmth was MACK WILLIAMS all around, but in winter it was mainly within us and we had to keep it there. To and from school, our hats, gloves, socks, boots and scarves prevented the loss of warmth from even our fingertips and toe tips. In this way of looking at it, the purpose of all of this wrapping wasn’t to keep the cold out, but to keep the heat in, where it was always being dispersed along a temperature gradient, moving from the warmth within us and decreasing proportionately with further distance from us, eventually reaching a relative state of coldness. Some scientists tell us that the universe is gradually cooling down and that one day, the entire universe will be cold and dark, so this effort on the part of our mothers to maintain our heat was truly heroic, considering, on the whole, the universe’s steady chilling slide. Being mammals, of course we don’t need to lie on warm sunlit stones to have energy and activity. If, like reptiles, that were the source of our energy, then Rome, instead of having run its course ages ago, would still be in its stage of original construction, changing the nature of that famous statement about its not being built in a day into a joke, instead of being a wise old admonition about attempts to build something of importance too quickly. One time, My aunt Ruth stayed with us a few days when I was a youth. It was during the cold months of the year, and I started to go outside, wearing my coat, but without my hat. I recall her becoming terribly upset and saying: “You can’t go outside with a naked head!” (our aunts as well, strive to preserve that warmth which is within us). I got my hat and put it on. I was already into astronomy then, and later thought about how difficult it is to obtain a steady and clear view of heavenly objects when the telescope is aimed above the
roof of a neighboring house in wintertime. The stars’ normal twinkle becomes an abberant ripple in the waves of heat rising into the air from the heated home. I imagined the heat which would have been rising from my unprotected “roof” if I hadn’t listened to my aunt Ruth. Participating in snowball fights as a child, the inner heat radiating from my fingers through my gloves would melt the snow stuck to them from my snowball making. That immediate wet coldness of my hands then made me forget that the rest of me was still warm and dry. During my first winter at Appalachian, I made a trip to one of Boone’s downtown stores on King Street which specialized in the sort of clothing which is specially designed to drastically slow down the rate at which our body heat radiates from us. There were plenty of plaid flannel shirts (almost equal to the varieties of plaid seen at the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games), bib overalls, boots, thick socks and an article of clothing that kept the body’s heat at the skin and close to its source: “long handle underwear,” covering everything but the feet, hands and head (I always wondered if the “handles” were the arms and legs, since regular underwear contains no “handles”). If a certain person had hung a pair of these in his store window instead of what he did put there, nothing would have happened, for to be offended at the sight of these, one would have to find the basic shape of the human form itself to be offensive. Since I’ve lost weight, I feel the cold of winter more than when I had a “coat” of fat to hold in more of my heat. My bones are a little more evident now, but being nearer to the heart of things they are insufficient as insulators. I remember those times we would visit my mother in her later years at the Yadkin House. When we kissed her goodbye, the warmth which had first imparted my warmth to me could still be felt then, but no longer after a day in July, 1998. When one reaches a certain age, “staying warm” has a much deeper meaning, applicable to all of the seasons of the year. It has been a life-long effort, but I am still endeavoring to hold onto and maintain that present of warmth, given to me during those months before I made my entrance into the world.

Ed Jones, D-Halifax and a retired state trooper, said he was concerned about how often the agency was buying new weapons. Jones said he was issued three pistols in his 30-year career with the Highway Patrol. “I want officer safety to be foremost, but a weapon ought to last more than a year and a half,” Jones said. “Even the sorriest weapon ought to last

Hope, local Doctor and a remarkable invention help severe back, neck and disc pain sufferers PAID ADVERTISEMENT
SALISBURY POST
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2011 • 5A
Special drugless, painless severe back, neck & disc pain consultations being given away free for Kannapolis and surrounding area residents who qualify… Doctor announces the unconventional protocol patients report helps their severe back, neck & disc pain, but the Doctor and his weary staff under the crush of demand from suffering local Kannapolis and surrounding area patients may be forced to stop all consultations temporarily
Kannapolis, North Carolina – Everyone who suffers with severe back, disc or neck pain hates the frustration, limitation and uncertainty that go with it. But worse than that is the frustration and anxiety that comes with trying treatment after treatment and being confronted with the grim reality that you’re facing the prospect of painful spinal injections or worse yet… invasive surgery. Well now, the widely known doctor and clinic director at the Kannapolis Spine & Wellness Center is giving away his expertise for free to all Kannapolis and surrounding area residents for at least the next 72 hours. The only action readers have to take is calling the Severe Back, Disc & Neck Pain Hotline before all of the appointment times are taken. Dr. Andrew R. Matthews, DC has taken this radical step in offering his expertise in the form of a no cost no obligation consultation in response to the growing frustrations of Kannapolis and surrounding area severe back, disc and neck pain sufferers. Frustration spawned from doctors that treat them without the respect and or compassion they deserve and frustration resulting from the fear that there just might be “no hope” for a full recovery. On the heels of New Year’s demand for new and improved health and just in time for Spring, here’s an opportunity to see if most of the Kannapolis and surrounding area’s severe back, disc and neck pain sufferers can truly enjoy life again. These free consultations with the doctor are likely to be gone within 72 hours so those who beat the deadline are those most likely to get the direct access they need and want. This doctor and his remarkable severe back, disc and neck pain protocols are being received so well and sufferers are flocking to his office because he offers REAL HOPE to long time sufferers who feel they’ve “tried everything” and still have yet to find a solution for their severe pain. His following has grown to such a large degree at least in part to the fact that he offers severe pain sufferers REAL options that involve NO DRUGS, NO SURGERY, NO INJECTIONS. And quite possibly, best of all is the fact that his treatment protocols are HIGH TECH and completely PAINLESS! The unique treatment protocols have
DOCTORS RIGHT HERE IN KANNAPOLIS, TREATING PATIENTS LIKE PEOPLE: Every severe back, neck & disc pain sufferer wants to avoid surgery, save money, avoid becoming disabled and ultimately get back to the normal pain free life they had BEFORE their pain became the most dominant force in their life. The Doctor & staff at the Kannapolis Spine & Wellness Center are working near capacity to accommodate all of the Kannapolis & surrounding area severe back, neck & disc pain sufferers they’ve opened their doors to. The fact that this remarkable doctor has opened his doors at ZERO cost for Kannapolis & surrounding area severe back, disc & neck pain sufferers to discover if they might be helped by these unique, exclusive and non invasive treatment protocols is truly amazing & the appreciation from the community is obvious. Dr. Andrew R. Matthews, DC reports he may NEED to stop offering FREE ACCESS because of the overwhelming response, however by calling the Kannapolis Severe Back, Disc & Neck Pain Hotline you can STILL get in to see the doctor at no cost… provided appointments are still available. Kannapolis Severe Back, Disc & Neck Pain Hotline (704) 230-0522.
met with rave reviews; so many rave reviews that it’s almost hard to believe. Well the good news is that this hard working, humble, soft-spoken, incredibly attentive, sensitive and compassionate doctor has created an interesting bind that has forced him to limit the number of free consultations he is able to offer. “We realize how many people are out there that are needlessly suffering and yet I also realize that what sets me apart is the fact that I’m willing to take the time each and every patient needs in order to not only help them get better but also to help them feel heard. I knew those with chronic pain needed our brand of caring… I just underestimated how much and because of the overwhelming
response I’ve been forced to limit the number of consultations I can do. Just so I can continue to offer the personal and direct support each of my patients deserves.” This is what Dr. Andrew R. Matthews, DC confirmed when asked about limiting free consultations to area severe pain sufferers. Dr. Matthews also confirmed that if you call the Severe Back, Disc & Neck Pain Hotline within 72 hours of the publication of this article he would guarantee readers that they’d receive an appointment with him personally. Dr. Matthews also said, “We can’t accept all patients, but we bend over backwards for ones we do.”
The value of your free consultation is over $247 and probably more important than the money you save is the opportunity to sit down with the confidence in knowing that relief for your severe back, disc or neck pain is on its WAY. So whether you’ve got pain in your back, herniated disc, slipped disc, bulging disc, sciatica, numbness, pain in the groin or hip… no matter what treatments have failed you this is your ONE opportunity to possibly END all your pain and frustration and get your life back once and for all. P.S. This offer will expire promptly on Thursday, February 17th @ 6pm.
Even people who almost gave up… even people who thought they’d need a miracle… even people who some may have thought were hopeless cases… have benefited
“I could tell a difference with my first treatment…It has been a wonderful and priceless experience to me!”
“I had a fall and injured my back two years ago. I have had three epidurals in my back plus back surgery a year ago, without success or relief from pain in my back and leg. I returned to the surgeon only to receive more steroid shots to my leg & knee with no relief from pain, and I could hardly walk. I could tell a difference with my first treatment with spinal decompression. I have been able to get back to cleaning my house, shopping, walking and enjoying life again. I no longer have the pain in my leg & back. It has been a wonderful and priceless experience to me!” ~ Marlene T.
“I got immediate relief from the first treatment… I can continue my bowling and golf.”
“I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and two bulging discs. I went to medical doctors for many years and had no hope for any treatment to help until I found Dr. Matthews that had the decompression machine that helped me a lot. I came and spoke with Dr. Matthews and he gave me hope without surgery. I got immediate relief from the first treatment. With Dr. Matthews and his staff’s care and understanding of my pain they gave me such hope. It is a blessing that I can continue my bowling and golf that I enjoy doing.” ~ Darlene P.
“I’ve had shots and different medications, but now I don’t need them.” “When I first came to see Dr. Matthews, I couldn’t walk, lift or bend. Dr. Matthews started me on the Spinal Decompression machine, and after the first treatment, I could walk again! I could drive without a pillow behind my back. I’ve had shots and different medications but now I don’t need them. Dr. Matthews also taught me exercises and taught me how to lift correctly so I don’t hurt myself. I recommend Dr. Matthews and this machine. And they are all so sweet here. They will help you in any way they possibly can.” ~ Bobby M.

WILMINGTON (AP) — North Carolina transportation officials have penalized the Oak Island Bridge contractor $1.12 million for delays that have put the project more than a year behind schedule. The StarNews of Wilmington reported that Barnhill Contracting Co. says the delays were caused by a fatal construction accident in 2008 and the subsequent investigation as well as cracked girders that had to be reordered. Drew Johnson is vice president of Barnhill’s heavy
highway division. Johnson says Barnhill will forward any subcontractor requests for time extensions to the Transportation Department and will split the loss of funds with the subcontractors. Work on the bridge began in August 2007 and was supposed to be completed by December 2009. Two lanes of the bridge were opened in November 2010 with all four lanes opening last month.

your *&%$ name on it.” So with very little armtwisting, I did. But please don’t think of me as a egomaniac. It’s the movie info that’s important. I’d like to say that it will take a considerable bit of time before the website is totally complete. There’s so much material to load, but I’m working on it almost daily. I have quite a bit up since starting in January. And after I do get all the material on the site, I plan to continue to make it even more complete. I should point out there are some gaps in listings from some theaters. (They didn’t always use the Salisbury Post to get their message to the public — shame on them.) I’ll try to fill in those gaps by other measures. For now, I hope you’ll visit the website and enjoy it. Want to know what movie was playing on a birthday, a wedding or graduation day? Want to pin down the day you remember seeing a specific movie as a youngster? This is the place. I’ll see ya at the movies. Mike Cline lives in Rowan County.

probably does get his mail there. He suggested I consider building a website to present the three years of work. Sounded like a good idea to me. When finished, everything would be right there together and accessible to anyone at no cost. So with the help of my best buddy, who also acts as my tech-support genie (I would mention his name, but he might not want it publicly known that he knows me), the website is up and running. Here’s the shameless plug: www.mikeclinesthenplaying.com is the web address. Let me clarify something at this point. I had decided early on that whatever avenue I took to getting this information to the public, that I wanted to call it “Then Playing.” I liked the sound of it. But when it came time to secure a domain name for the website, ThenPlaying.com was taken! I was crushed. A friend suggested I stick my name on the front and try again. Not surprising, but this name was available. He said, “Look, you did all the research, and you’re going to do the website, so stick

worth the effort. I finally compiled what I had wanted for 35 years. Then a thought hit me (that does occur occasionally). Even though I wasn’t born in Salisbury and didn’t grow up here, I decided it would be fun doing the Salisbury/Rowan County theaters as well. After all, I had lived the majority of my life here and came to live here because of the movies. I had been sent to Salisbury at the outset of my theater manager career. As it turned out, I left the movie theater business because I chose to continue living in Salisbury rather than take transfers to both Burlington and Winston-Salem. I wasn’t a “team player,” they said. Maybe not, certainly not to the extent I was willing to relocate to towns I didn’t want to go. No regrets. So just as I had become a regular at the Iredell library, I was now one at the Rowan Public Library. My original plan was to compile the movie listings from 1930-1979. That’s half a century. Should take me a year, tops, averaging three library trips per week. Wrong. In all my years as a Rowan taxpayer, no one ever told me that, back in the “old days,” there were movie theaters everywhere across the county. I soon discovered that the hamlets of Spencer, Rockwell, China Grove and Landis had their own theaters throughout the ’30s, ’40s and into the ’50s, when the advancement of television (I’m assuming) took its toll on many of them. The big box in people’s living rooms with no admission shut down thousands of small-town movie houses during the ’50s. Only the theater in Rockwell survived as late as 1960. The library trips — going through every issue of 60 years of the Salisbury Post — ended up taking much longer that I thought. I considered having my mail delivered to the History Room I was there so much. I tip my hat to the wonderful ladies in that department for their putting up with me. “I’m out of paper.” “I need more dimes, please.” They heard it from me every visit. But they were always nice. Before I knew it, three years passed before I had secured the information I desired. But it was done. Feeling a bit depressed that the research phase was over, I decided to add the 1920s. After all, the movie industry had blossomed during this time, advancing from silent pictures to speaking to its audiences. So now, what to do with all of this information? When I say this all became bigger than I first imagined, I can tell you that stacking it all in one pile, the material reaches 34 inches towards the ceiling (I just measured it). Publishing was my first thought. But after researching the possibility online, such an undertaking wasn’t practical. Too much information. The finished book would collapse any coffee table, and the purchase price would be prohibitive. The boys who founded Facebook probably couldn’t afford it. Then I contemplated doing it in volumes, perhaps two decades at a time. Now I was really glad I had added the ’20s. Still, it wasn’t feeling right to me. On one of my final visits to the library, I encountered Dr. Gary Freeze, wellknown local history guru. We often ran into each other on the third floor. Gary

have often joked with friends that I’m going to stop procrastinating ... tomorrow. And to quote one of the world’s great philosophers, “Never put off till tomorrow what you should have done yesterday.” Actually the sage who said that was Froggy, in an “Our Gang” comedy. All humor MIKE aside, someCLINE thing I meant to do for many years but didn’t until fairly recently is the subject of what I write today. Born into and reared in the movie theater business, I developed a great love for the movies — more than any other member of my family. As we changed directions when I was almost 10 and went into other business ventures, no one in the family ever looked back, except me. About as fast as the state of North Carolina would give me a work permit, I was employed by the two indoor theaters in Statesville doing everything from selling tickets, tearing tickets, popping corn, selling concessions and, finally, learning to operate the projectors and “running the show.” Laws demanded I be paid to perform these tasks, but I would have been the projectionist for free. I might have even paid my boss to let me do it. During this era, I thought back to our drive-ins and wondered if any financial records such as box office reports or booking sheets (the list of movies which were shown) had been saved. When I was around 20, I asked my Aunt Ruth if they still existed, and she told me that “she had kept them in our warehouse until about a year ago,” but when she sold the property, she had a crew haul everything to the dump. Procrastination. I should have asked sooner. Maybe it all could have been salvaged. But looking back now, I realize that I was dealing with bigger personal issues during the 1960s, such as the deaths of some family members, school and that wonderful thing called “puberty,” a.k.a., the land of pimples and hormones. The interest in our driveins returned to me while I was in my mid-20s. I yearned to, at least, have a list of all the movies we played at my family’s theaters. I realized that the only way to obtain such a list would be to compile one myself, and that would take a lot of time, something I didn’t have during that period. So I procrastinated again, but this time with little choice. Working for a living and trying to be a good husband could really eat up the clock. And before we knew it, my wife and I had two children to bring up, and the movie list was something I didn’t think about for another 30 years. But that was OK. Priorities, you know. Before I knew it, I was in my mid 50s, and the kids had left the nest. I was winding down my business, so the luxury of time was becoming a reality. “Time to make that list,” I told myself. So over the course of a year, I made numerous jaunts to the old hometown of Statesville and utilized the Iredell Public Library reference room, grinding though the old newspapers from 1947 to 1960. Timeconsuming, yes, but well

You and your money personality She: I’ve got more important things to think about. He: Another credit card? We can’t even make the payments on the ones we have! She: The kids and I need things. If you made more money, I wouldn’t have to use credit cards. And on and on it goes. The spender wants to bring the saver to her side; the saver wants nothing more than for the spender to stop spending and join him in what he feels is the right way. In truth, neither of them is right. They both are operating in the extreme and are completely out of balance. The secret to achieving money harmony, no matter your marital situation or personality type, is found in finding financial balance -giving away 10 percent of your income, saving 10 percent and living on 80 percent. The full-blown spender can’t imagine such a thing, and neither can the severe saver. It’s out of character. It doesn’t come naturally. Though the saverspender combination appears to be deadly, I think it is in fact one of the best, provided both parties are willing to talk about money issues. They complement each other well. The saver has to recognize that spending money with restraint and wisdom brings joy. The spender has to learn that saving, giving and preparing for the future brings a sense of calm and peace. Almost everyone is uncomfortable talking about money, but that is the most important thing you can do to promote financial harmony in your home. You have to start talking about it. In-
stead of having your money be a source of contention, you’ll be able to use it as a tool to enhance intimacy and bring fulfillment into your lives.

Hagan hires Tom O’Donnell as new chief of staff RALEIGH (AP) — U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan says she has hired a former senior official in the Clinton administration as her chief of staff. The North Carolina Democrat said in a news release that 52-year-old Tom O’Donnell will replace Crystal King who had been chief of staff since Hagan took office in 2009. From 1993 to 1997, O’Donnell was chief of staff of the president’s Council of Economic Advisers then the White House National Economic Council. O’Donnell graduated from the University of Texas School of Law at Austin and comes to Hagan’s office from the D.C.-based firm of Crowell & Moring where he was a partner.

When it comes to “money personalities,” basically there are two: spenders and savers. This doesn’t mean necessarily that a saver has a big bank account or that a spender is an obsessive shopaholic. It has to do with the ways we think about and react to MARY money. HUNT Take my husband and me as examples. He is a saver; I am a spender. We were just born that way. We can look at the very same 50 percent off sale and have completely different reactions. For him, that means he only has to spend half as much. I see it as a way to buy twice as much. When I have money, my thoughts automatically go to how I could spend it. His natural response is to put it away in a safe place. I always have admired the ability of a saver to be so strong when it comes to hanging on to money. I’m sure that deep down, a saver might admire me for my ability to be so spontaneous and carefree with money. It’s when savers or spenders live in the extreme that problems occur. Imagine conversations between a married couple in which she’s a spender and he’s a hoarder, I mean a saver: He: You’re always spending money we don’t have. She: You’re so tightfisted we never have any fun. He: How can I balance the checkbook when you don’t write down checks you’ve written or ATM withdrawals you’ve made?!

Weekly Fact: Distilleries Few remember that a century ago, liquor distilleries were a major industry in Rowan County, accounting for half of Salisbury’s tax revenues at one time. Before 1900, distilleries dotted the county. James Lanier operated probably the best known at Sugar Springs in what would later become the east corner of East Spencer. Lanier was said to be one of the county’s wealthiest men. Liquor money helped build Salisbury’s tallest building. Now the Plaza on the Square in Salisbury, the building was erected by Clay Grubb, who operated a distillery and wholesale liquor house. In 1953, Post reporter Heath Thomas wrote: “The liquor in industry was the basis of several substantial fortunes. D.L. Arey became immensely wealthy... One oldtimer says if Arey had taken his endorse-
ment from the notes of his fellow townspeople that Salisbury’s financial structure would have collapsed.” Along with the distilleries came a reputation. Just after the turn of the 20th century, as the clamor for Prohibition rose, Salisbury was one of the last North Carolina cities where you could go into a saloon for a drink — as many as 18 saloons, many in the block bounded by North Main, East Council, North Lee and East Innes streets. As late as the 1890s, a succession of “bawdy houses” operated along North Lee Street. To control the business, a city ordinance provided for a fine against the house owner if any of his woman employees “shall be found riding in the city of Salisbury on or across Main or Innes Streets in an open carriage or on horseback.”

A Murrells Inlet man said three men from his neighborhood were armed with a shotgun and rifle when they burst into his home as he was at his kitchen table eating a sandwich Jan. 24. The Wesley Road man said the three invaders demanded cash and when he said he had none, they started going through his cabinets and refrigerator. The men grabbed a 12 pack of beer from the fridge and when the victim told them they were leaving him beerless, they removed one can from the pack and tossed it to him. The robbers then took the man’s wallet which contained no cash, and fled the scene. Since the homeowner was able to identify the men, they were arrested. The deputies did note the man who was robbed was “highly intoxicated” when he called 911.

get from where we are now in terms of the level of spending to a level that is 18 percent lower,” said Senate leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, mentioning salary reductions, layoffs and employee health care as items being discussed. The talk is sobering for workers, given that there have been no pay raises since 2008, money for thousands of educators has been cut and health insurance benefits have eroded. The potential for salary cuts and some health insurance premium are the latest threats to the state government work force and local district teachers, who also are considered hired by the state. Workers currently don’t pay premiums for their own health insurance, but premiums for spouses and dependents already rose nearly 9 percent annually in 2009 and 2010. Adding a $50 per month premium, for example, on the state’s 321,000 active employees enrolled in the State Health Plan could bring in $193 million. Republican lawmakers are working on a plan that would collect up to $1 billion in reserves and cost savings and may reduce the need for some layoffs. The North Carolina Association of Educators and State Employees Association are offering alternatives to lawmakers and Perdue about how to close the gap.
Their response is evaluated and instructions for improvement are offered. Price said the drills are beneficial. “It makes (students) confident that they are going to be safe,” he said. Price said he’s seen the system in action after an armed robbery occurred a few blocks from a school and the robber fled on foot, putting the school in to lockdown. “It did exactly what it was supposed to do,” he said. “They followed the exact procedure they have been

Brendan is also glad the Shriners hospital can help him. “Dr. (Whitney) Gibson is the best doctor in the world,” Brendan said, referring to the surgeon in South Carolina. Kim and David said Brendan is active when he’s not couch-bound. He rides fourwheelers and plays outdoors with his sister Bailey and brother Bryson. Brendan also knows his limitations, his mother said. The Rothwell’s neighbors, Eric and Melanie Peeler, are helping them build a wheelchair ramp and deck onto the front of the house. Brendan uses a wheelchair at home after surgeries and at school when he has to go long distances. “He gets tired easily and has arthritis,” Kim said. Sometimes Brendan is in great pain, but he never complains his parents said. When he’s not in a cast and can put weight on his leg, he helps around the house with washing dishes and cooking and also helps his dad in the yard. Brendan is quite independent and enjoys outdoor activities including camping. He’s a Boy Scout with Pack 333 of St. Matthews Lutheran Church. David best described their lives as an adventure. “I wouldn’t have it any other way,” he said. For more information about the Shriners, go to www.oasisshriners.org.
operate on Brendan’s leg, recommending amputation instead. Some doctors declared Brendan the worst case they’d seen and were going to use Brendan as an “experiment” his mother said. The doctors at the Shriners hospital brainstormed about how to approach Brendan’s surgery, his father explained. Once the bone grows around the rods, doctors can eventually insert longer rods until, hopefully, the need for the surgeries ends. “He will always need a brace,” Kim said. If doctors don’t have the proper rods and screws they can’t do surgery, Kim said. She recalled a postponed surgery. When the rods had not arrived, the doctors informed the family they could not continue with surgery because there was a chance for a potential break and possible amputation if all of the components did not work together. Brendan’s latest surgery was Jan. 17. He was fitted with a full leg cast and next month, if all of the bones are healing properly, he’ll receive a lower-leg cast. Brendan said he enjoys going to the hospital where he gets to play air hockey, ping pong, pool and talk to the nurses, two of whom he calls his girlfriends. The worst part for the youngster, he says, is not being active. Contact reporter Shavonne “My little sister brings me Potts at 704-797-4253.

State workers on edge SHRINERS about budget shortfall RALEIGH (AP) — State employees and public school teachers are often the place lawmakers look to consider significant budget cuts, as three-quarters of the state’s $19 billion budget is allocated to salaries and benefits. But anxiety levels for the more than 300,000 teachers, university workers and other state employees have soared early in the legislative session with the Republican leadership’s approach to closing a projected $3.7 billion budget gap for the upcoming fiscal year. GOP leaders have pledged not to extend two temporary taxes that would have trimmed the shortfall by $1.3 billion. “Every single year at this same point in time there is the budget dance ... there is always immediately going into it an assumption that we are going to cut services and we’re going to do bad things to public employees,” said Dana Cope, executive director of the State Employees Association of North Carolina. “This is the first time that the budget deficit that we’re talking about is real.” The GOP and Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue have predicted some layoffs, but not how many. GOP leaders also won’t dismiss the idea of across-the-board pay cuts and could require workers to pay a monthly health insurance premium for the first time. “Ultimately we’ve got to

Who are ‘American people’?
Salisbury Post “The truth shall make you free”
My Turn: Bill Ward
U.S. shouldn’t go into Egypt
BY JOHN TESSITORE he language pundits at Lake Superior State University recently nominated 13 words and phrases for linguistic banishment, based on their tiresome overuse. One such phrase that struck a chord with this reader was “The American people,” which, since the November elections, has been invoked by politicians (mostly conservative) more times than Sarah Palin has said “betcha.” To be more specific, the full phrase that has echoed on the airwaves and littered the pages of newsprint is “The American people have spoken.” An intriguing phrase, certainly, and one that is clearly intended to put the listener or reader on notice. Indeed, it is almost always delivered with such verve that one can almost hear, let alone see, the italicization and exclamation mark: “The American people have spoken!” Powerful as the phrase may be, it does (or at least should) nonetheless invite a rather obvious response: What exactly, please, have the American people said? And just as relevant, precisely which American people are you referring to? There are some 309 million of us, according to the recent national census. If we are to accept the phrase literally, it suggests that we have just heard a thunderous chorus of uniform voices not witnessed since the Mormon Tabernacle Choir! Surely, such a historic moment demands closer scrutiny. Alas, the users of this and similar phrases have little interest in delving into the matter any deeper. If we are to find the answers to our questions, we must do so ourselves. Looking at the numbers, we see that in the Senate, about 34 million voted for Democrats (45.1 percent) and 37 million for Republicans (49.3 percent); in the House, about 39 million voted for Democrats (44.8 percent) and 45 million for Republicans (51.6 percent). Apparently, those who have invoked the phrase in question see no need to acknowledge the 34 million to 39 million U.S. citizens who, presumably, do not qualify as members of the chorus. If they did see the need, they might have felt compelled to say something such as “a small but significant majority of the American people have expressed their frustration with the current political situation and so have voted for ‘change,’ though in truth most are uncertain as to exactly what that change should be.” Of course, this would not have been a particularly convenient sound bite. It is worth asking ourselves why our leaders and pundits are allowed to use (misuse) language so freely, and to do so with impunity. As George Orwell wrote more than a halfcentury ago in “Politics and the English Language”: “In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defence of the indefensible. ... But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.” The corruption of thought and language are, I would suggest, the most pervasive and pernicious element of the body politic, in our day as much as in the day of Rome or of Victoria's England. The cant, the pat phrase, the jingoistic expression are the blunt tools with which the lazy, stupid or corrupt politician builds his or her reputation and, with far too great a success, mollifies his or her constituency. Words, of course, have always been used as weapons, especially in politics, and the only defense is a staunch unwillingness to accept them blindly, unreflectively, unquestionably. We, the objects of such verbal abuse, have only ourselves to blame if we are also so lazy, stupid or corrupt as to do nothing in our own defense.

hen the street riots began in Egypt a few days ago, a chilling thought occurred: Would Obama be foolish enough to consider sending U.S. troops to Egypt to support Hosni Mubarak? But on the other hand, Obama doesn’t handle crises well, has no stomach for using the military, and the U.S. has supported the Egyptian president/dictator throughout his 30-year reign. The U.S. also supported Saddam Hussein, and look where that got us. As a U.S. veteran, I know there is a difference between “serving our country” and “fighting to preserve our freedom.” The last time we fought to preserve the freedom we so carelessly take for granted in this country was during World War II. When Pearl Harbor was bombed in 1941, the U.S. was pulled into a war not of its choosing. Our very shores were breached, and the sanctity of our nation was threatened when the Japanese sent balloons loaded with bombs over our lands in the Pacific Northwest. In one instance, four Americans were killed when they tampered with a bomb on a Japanese balloon that had landed. Some of those balloons flew as far as Iowa. On the East Coast, German submarines patrolled and one was sunk off the North Carolina coast. We were, indeed fighting to maintain the integrity of our country and the freedoms Bill Ward is a provided by our Constitution. writer and histoWe cannot say that about rian living in Sal- any other war. World War I isbury. Email: gave us heroes such as Sgt. wardwriters@ Alvin York and colorful figcarolina.rr.com. ures like General “Blackjack” Pershing. But as terrible as that war was, with its devastating casualties and loss of American lives, except for newspaper accounts, the American populace was fairly well insulated from the fighting that took place in France and Germany. Korea was an innocuous war — often called the forgotten war — of questionable value. It, like Vietnam, was a civil war. We found ourselves embroiled in Korea to keep the North Koreans, with the help of the Chinese, from taking over South Korea. Korean War veterans and Vietnam War veterans were serving their country at the behest of their civilian leaders. But they were not fighting for this country’s freedom. As much as I appreciate the service and sacrifice of Vietnam veterans, not one time during Vietnam, and including the myriad of changing allegiances we now face in Iraq and Afghanistan, have I felt my personal freedoms threatened. If anything, the Bush administration came closest to that threat after 9/11 when it passed the socalled Patriots Act, circumventing many of our Constitutional guarantees. While not altogether unique, American forces are subject to civilian control, not military control, except in a war zone. And a former Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, even attempted to change that, which is probably one of the reasons it has taken us 10 years to fight what could have been a three-year war in Iraq. If an American civilian administration decides it wants a part of another country, or to change that country’s politics, it can order the U.S. military with all its power to go in and take it. That is, of course, a simplification of the process. Since independence from Britain, the United States has sent troops abroad or militarily struck other countries’ territory 216 times. Since 1945 the United States has intervened in more than 20 countries throughout the world. And since World War II, the United States actually dropped bombs on 23 countries. The U.S. and its military forces should not be in the business of nation building or even of nation preservation. Our forces should be guarding our borders and letting other countries handle their own affairs. The George Bush administration chose to attack Iraq under the guise of that country harboring terrorists. Then he insisted that politically, the Iraqis have a democratic form of government and be allowed to vote. But a large number of us couldn’t care less if an Iraqi citizen can vote if it cost just one American life to make it happen. A large number of us couldn’t care less if the U.S. government rebuilds the war-torn parts of Iraq. Let the Iraqis rebuild their own country with their oil money. Better yet, let them reimburse our government for freeing them from the shackles of Saddam Hussein. Just to take one example of cost, it takes $1 million per day to operate an aircraft carrier. The money that we’re spending for the military on foreign bases and in foreign political conflicts could be better spent to feed and educate American children. Bring our young people home from around the world and let other countries solve their own problems. Let Egypt take care of itself. Cut all foreign aid and that will serve to cut our budget considerably.

LETTERS

I’ll certainly be praying for Rowan ... in my own way This letter is in response to some of the statements in the “Prayer of National Repentance” in the ‘40DaysRowan.com’ advertisement in the Post of Sunday, Jan. 30. “We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it pluralism.” This must be so. I’ve heard that in Salisbury alone there are Lutherans, Methodists, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Roman Catholics, Baptists and others too numerous to mention. “We have worshiped other gods and called it multi-culturalism.” Actually, we mostly worship the god named consumerism. If you’ve listened to the news lately, I’m sure you’ve heard that the best way to get our economy moving is for us to get out there and shop. “We have coveted our neighbor’s possessions and called it ambition.” Doesn’t our whole economy depend on coveting our neighbor’s stuff? “We have endorsed perversion and called it an alternate lifestyle.” It’s those people who recycle, drive small cars, compost and don’t eat meat, isn’t it? What are they thinking? “We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery” and “We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.” This confuses me. Isn’t the purpose of welfare to help the poor we have already exploited? “We have polluted the airwaves with profanity and called it freedom of expression.” I agree. Let’s get Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck and Dr. Phil off the air. “We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.” Funny, I’ve always thought the values of our forefathers were enlightened values. Seriously, I think it’s important for all of us to pray for our Rowan County neighbors, businesses and those in public service. I know I will; I just doubt that I’ll use Reverend Wright’s prayer. The website “40DaysRowan.com” suggested fasting as well as praying. They just opened a new Dunkin Donuts! — Roger Hull China Grove

know better. It concerns President Bill Clinton, and how he managed to “balance the budget.” Often this will go one step further — that Clinton left a “budget surplus” (which was promptly “squandered” by President Bush). The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) appears to confirm this balanced budget scenario on its “budget history” web page. Keep in mind, though ... the CBO often uses “questionable” accounting methods (accounting methods that can’t legally be used in the private sector). Read the USA Today’s article “Rules ‘Hiding’ Trillions in Debt” (Jan. 8, 2011) for a review. Further complicating things, the government divides its debt into different “accounts” (akin to robbing Peter to pay Paul, and then bragging on Paul’s success). This begs the question: did President Clinton actually balance the budget? The budget is “balanced” if (and only if) the national debt is the same at the end of the (fiscal) year as it was at the beginning of that same year. If the debt is lower, a budget “surplus” has been achieved. But if the debt increases, the result is a budget “deficit.” No fuzzy math, no adjusting for inflation, no discounts for “off-budget” items, nothing like that. The national debt does not change if a balanced budget was achieved that year. That’s why it’s called balanced. The U.S. Treasury Department has available online the daily balance history of the national debt (all the way back to 1993). It reveals that the national debt increased each and every year under Clinton’s administration (see www.craigsteiner.us/articles/16 for an in-depth analysis). Clinton never achieved a balanced budget; there certainly was never a budget surplus for Bush to squander. — Steve Pender Rockwell

SIMI VALLEY, Calif. (AP) — Former first lady Nancy Reagan praised her late husband Sunday, laying a wreath on his grave and singing “Happy Birthday” with the Beach Boys as actors, musicians, former advisers and friends paid tribute to Ronald Reagan on the 100th anniversary of his birth. Nancy Reagan greeted the crowd of about 1,500 invited dignitaries under a tent on the east lawn of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on in Simi Valley. “I know that Ronnie would be thrilled,” the 89-year-old said, looking skyward, “and is
thrilled, to have all of you share in his 100th birthday. It doesn’t seem possible, but that’s what it is.” After a crowd including son Ron Reagan and former Vice President Dick Cheney rose to its feet in applause, she shouted “Happy Birthday Ronnie!” Nancy Reagan has made frequent appearances at the library but rarely speaks. Former Cabinet secretary and close Reagan friend James Baker III and actor Gary Sinise were among many spoke in praise of the Gipper. “The Reagan Revolution did not end when he left office 22 years ago, or when he left
Nancy and all of us on June the 5th, 2004,” said Baker. “Yes, the revolution was about a man, but it was really much more. The lessons Ronald Reagan taught us about freedom, and common sense and self-reliance remain every bit as true today as they were then.” Lee Greenwood sang his signature version of “God Bless the USA,” a Reagan favorite, and several others, including country artists including Lonestar and Amy Grant, also performed. A group of FA-18 fighter jets based on the USS Ronald Reagan flew over the crowd.
Reagan, the nation’s 40th chief executive, was 93 when he died after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. The event was the culmination of a week of tributes to the former president at and around his presidential library, including speeches from Cheney and Sarah Palin. In Illinois, where Reagan was born and spent the first two decades of his life, hundreds celebrated at a birthday party at the Tampico Historical Society, eating cake with a picture of the president and touring the nearby restored apartment where he was born in 1911.

er. Darrell fists bumps with the guys in the crowd and points to folks he knows while he sings. Most of the guys probably wish they were standing where he’s standing. Before long, a woman clad entirely in Harley-Davidson gear starts dancing at the front of the band. John, playing to Darrell’s right, just shakes his head and smiles. “What a crowd, what a crowd!” Darrell says from the mike. ••• From the charity concert in May to its first paying gig in September, the band had just four months to learn its set list of 40 songs. It’s a good mix of old and new country — covers by Jason Aldean, Jamey Johnson, Blake Shelton and the like. Conway Twitty’s “Lay You Down,” and Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues” even show up by the third set. Although the band ends every concert with Shelton’s “You Can Kiss My Country Ass,” Darrell says it’s not their signature song. “I like every one of ’em,” he says. Things have moved so fast that they haven’t had time to write any music of their own, Eric says. But they will. ••• Darrell says this whole experience has been really something for him. While most of his bandmates have been playing for decades, remember he’s only been at this for eight months. “You get hooked on it,” Darrell says. “I cannot wait ’til Saturday night rolls in.” ••• This particular Satform the Coolwater urday night, the crowd inches closer and closer to the band. They love it when Darrell dances to such party songs as “I’m Pretty Good at Drinkin’ Beer” and “Redneck Girl.” He gives a shout-out to his brother-in-law Darren, now healthy and in the house with wife Rhonda, before singing “If You’re Going Through Hell.” Darrell reaches over a row of fans to give Darren a high-five. Before long, sweat breaks out on Eric’s bald head. Nobody’s there to tell him “Get a haircut!” although he heard it more than a few times in Gaffney from a guy named Bubba. Then Darrell asks, “Are there any trashy women out there?” More than a few hands go up as the band launches into “Trashy Women.” Soon after, they follow with “All About Tonight” and Darrell grabs a camera during a jam section by Eric, Ronnie and John. He starts taking pictures of the crowd surrounding him on three sides. What does he see when he looks out from the mike? “I just see a lot of energy,” he says. “I see a lot of smiles, a lot of hands raising.” This energy is what’s hooked Darrell. It’s why they roll into neighborhood watering holes most every Saturday night. It’s why he and the band want to ride this wave as far as it’ll take ’em. See ya next weekend, Darrell.
he could make some money.” ••• The band played at Kenneth Shell’s house on Labor Day weekend, and things picked up speed from there. Their first public show was at the Lucky Turnaround. Because China Grove is such a tight-knit community, Eric says, the band built a core following early on. “I’d like to give a plug to my friends,” Darrell says. “They roll deep when they come out.” “We’re not your average bar band,” Eric says. The band started developing a buzz after the first couple of shows. Facebook helped. It also helped that the CWB began to follow in Kingpin’s footsteps, playing some of the same venues. Eric has had a longstanding working relationship with the owners of One More Bar and Grill in Concord, so the CWB played there. They’re now in the bar’s band rotation for this year. They played Cripple Creek Jan. 8 in New London. “It’s the biggest crowd I’ve ever stood in front of,” Darrell says of the 450-plus people who came. It was his fourth show. Eric had also played at The Twisted Spur in Gaffney, so the band headed there Jan. 21, taking a 30-passenger bus full of fans with them. “We brought a party with us,” Eric says. eric upton helped They’ve got more band. than two dozen dates booked for 2011. If you want ’em, you better get ’em now. ••• Sitting at the bar, Debbie Miller of China Grove and Emily Williams of Kannapolis are ready for the band to play. “I love to hear ’em,” Debbie says. “They’re good. “They put on a good show and get the crowd involved,” Emily adds. “When they play, ain’t nobody sitting down. They’re awesome. They put on a damn good show.” Owners Charlene Nolt and Kristina Hilton are pleased with the band and the crowd. They say it’s hard to find a really good country music band. Emily’s words prove true from the getgo. After the first set, there’s barely room to stand. Before the band cranks up, a group of three young women on the front row starts chanting, “Ronnie! Ronnie! Ronnie!” Ronnie, who’s put on his bifocals by now, stands there and blushes. ••• “It’s good to be back at the Lucky Turnaround,” Darrell tells the crowd. He’s dressed in a plaid shirt, torn jeans and a cowboy hat. “It’s always a party with Darrell Harwood!” someone yells. The band starts out with “Crazy Town” and cameras and cell phones begin flashing. Freelance writer Susan Shinn lives in SalGood facebook material, Darrell will say lat- isbury.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) Two men angry over a dispute at an Ohio fraternity house party left the gathering and returned early Sunday, spraying bullets into a crowd and killing a Youngstown State University student who was trying to separate two groups, authorities said. Eleven other people were injured, including a 17-year-old with a critical head wound. Youngstown police Chief Jimmy Hughes said the suspects are in their early 20s and from the area. “Something happened that they became unhappy. They had some type of altercation,” Hughes said.
Oregon may be first to ban plastic bags GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — Oregon lawmakers will consider whether the state should become the first to pass a ban on plastic bags, a measure recycling advocates believe would trigger a domino effect among other states. A bill co-sponsored by two Republicans and two Democrats would outlaw throwaway plastic checkout bags at all retail stores.
Rail cars headed to NC explode ARCADIA, Ohio (AP) — Several tanker cars carrying volatile chemicals continued to burn Sunday evening after a freight train derailed and caused an explosion in northwest Ohio, a fire official said. Some residents who earlier had been forced to evacuate have returned to their homes. No injuries were reported after about half the cars on the 62-car train derailed in a rural area about 50 miles south of Toledo, said Capt. Jim Breyman of the Arcadia Fire Department. He estimated about 8 cars — each carrying more than 30,000 gallons of ethanol — exploded and caught fire early Sunday morning. In all, 28 cars were burned in the fire, he said. The train was headed from Chicago to North Carolina and loaded with ethanol, said Norfolk Southern spokesman Rudy Husband. He said he had no information on what caused the derailment. Most of the ethanol was expected to be burned off. Breyman said three or four cars were still burning, but those were expected to be out as soon as early this morning. The U.S. Environmental

an explosion throws a ball of flames into the air at the scene of a freight train derailment near arcadia, ohio, on sunday. Protection Agency is monitoring the air quality in the area. Some ethanol got into the mouth of a nearby creek, but was being contained, Breyman said. He said he did not know how much had gotten into the water. Carol Hester, a spokeswoman for the Ohio EPA, said absorbent materials have been placed into the water to keep the ethanol from moving in the stream. She said the
agency was monitoring the waterway. Authorities were called to an intense and dramatic scene at about 2:15 a.m. “We’re talking fireballs,” Breyman said of the explosion. “When they went thousands of feet in the air, they could be seen from 20-plus miles away.” Breyman said cars are stacked three- or four-high in some places, and are melted.

Pittsburgh comeback
MVP creating legacy
falls short BY BARRY WILNER Associated Press
BY
HOWARD FENDRICH
ARLINGTON, Texas — Forget Lombardi on Broadway. Green Packers 31 Bay has the Steelers 25 newest Super Bowl hit: Aaron Rodgers. Capping one of the greatest postseasons for any quarterback, Rodgers led the Packers to their first NFL championship in 14 years Sunday, 3125 over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Packers reclaimed the Vince Lombardi Trophy, named for their legendary coach who won the first two Super Bowls and is making his own star turn in New York these days in the play named after him. Rodgers, the game’s MVP, thrilled his legion of Cheesehead fans with a spectacular six-game string that should finally erase the bitterness of the Brett Favre separation in Green Bay. He’s now equal with Favre in Super Bowl wins, and he extended the Packers’ record of NFL titles to 13, nine before the Super Bowl era. “It’s what I dreamt about as a little kid watching Joe Montana and Steve Young,” Rodgers said, “and we just won the Super Bowl.” The Packers QB threw for three touchdowns, two to Greg Jennings, and the Packers (14-6) overcame even more injuries, building a 21-3 lead, then hanging on to become the second No. 6 seed to win the championship. Coincidentally, the 2005 Steelers were the other. Rodgers threw for 304 yards, including a 29-yard touchdown to Jordy Nelson, who had nine catches for 140 yards to make up for three big drops. Rodgers found Jennings, normally his favorite target, for 21- and 8-yard scores. “Wow! It’s a great day to be
Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Texas — Absolutely no need to bring up Ol’ What’s His Name ever again. Aaron Rodgers is a Super Bowl championship quarterback in his own right. And the game’s MVP, too, an honor Brett Favre, his Green Bay Packers predecessor, never earned. With precise passes and cool under pressure, Rodgers completed 24 of 39 passes for 304 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions Sunday night to lead the Packers to a 31-25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers for Green Bay’s first NFL title since Favre’s in the January 1997 Super Bowl. Rodgers is 27 years old, just as Favre was then. And after biding his time as a backup until the Packers split with Favre, Rodgers has quickly established himself as one of the game’s best. This was his third full season as a starting QB, and he was particularly good throughout the playoffs, leading the No. 6 seed Packers to three NFC road victories before winning the championship Sunday. Despite his smart play, his zero-turnover evening, his scoring drives and his MVP award, Rodgers sought to deflect the praise. “Got to give credit to our defense. This is a great group of men that we put together here, a lot of character, been through a lot together,” said Rodgers, who threw two TD passes to Greg Jennings and one to Jordy Nelson. “It’s just great to be able to share it with them.” Don’t forget, Rodgers’ strong performance came against Pittsburgh’s vaunted defense, the one that limited opponents to a league-low 14.5 points per game this season, AssociAted Press

UNC beats ’Noles
Carson’s Houston breaking records BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
Thinking about prep hoops on Super Sunday ... Carson senior Nick Houston says he’s “getting no looks at all” from colleges. If he’s not kidding, that means people are missing the boat. The 6-foot-2 Houston can absolutely fill it up from long range and his ballhandling and passing skills have improved tremendously. Houston broke Carson’s school record for scoring in a single game when he tossed in 37 in a losing cause at West Iredell on Thursday. Prior to Houston’s outburst, Darius Moose owned the five highest-scoring games in Cougar boys history — 36, 34, 33 and 32 twice. Houston has 945 points in his career and is likely to join Moose as the second member of the school’s
1,000-point club. Carson’s last regular-season game is tonight — a rematch at home with highpowered West Iredell — but Houston’s career is almost certain to extend past the conference tournament into the 3A state playoffs. Four NPC teams will be automatic qualifiers. Those four will be the top four regular-season finishers unless one of the bottom three wins the tournament. Even with a modest 5-6 NPC mark, Carson is a lock for no worse than fourth because it owns a sweep of fifth-place North Iredell. Mathematically, sixthplace South Rowan still can tie the Cougars, but Carson would have to lose tonight and the Raiders would have to go 3-for-3 this week for that to happen.

The crowd Florida St. 69 gave him the loudest cheer during starting lineups, then a standing ovation when he came out of the game following a record-setting performance. Kendall Marshall is quickly making No. 23 North Carolina his team. The freshman point guard had nine points and a season-high 16 assists — the most by a UNC player in any Atlantic Coast Conference game — to help the Tar Heels beat Florida State 89-69 on Sunday. Fellow rookie Harrison Barnes had 17 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Tar Heels (17-5, 7-1), who ripped through the Seminoles’ stingy defense to win for the 10th time in 11 games.

Playing in Okinawa, Carlos Dixon (South) has averaged better than 20 points per game in his last five outings. Johnson C. Smith’s Thaddeus Williams (Salisbury) scored the first points of his college career when he sank his only field-goal try against Fayetteville State recently. Rio Grande’s Doug Campbell (Salisbury) settled for 13 points in a loss to Campbellsville on Thursday. We had expected Campbell to score at least 30 against a school called Campbellsville.

PREP/COLLEGE BASKETBALL
PREP HOOPS
SCORING MACHINE: West Rowan junior Keshun Sherrill has scored 1,128 points in his career. He needs 12 more to pass West assistant coach Phillip Williams for seventh place on the school’s all-time scoring list. The amazing 5-9 guy is on pace to surpass everyone who’s ever worn the light blue except for 2,000-point legends Donte Minter and Scooter Sherrill.
FROM 1B Carson still is thinking about trying for third, and that scenario isn’t far-fetched. If Carson beats West Iredell and West Iredell loses to first-place Statesville on Wednesday, the Cougars tie the Warriors at 6-6.
SCORING MACHINE II: While he signed with UNC for football, Salisbury senior Darien Rankin has scored 1,235 career points in basketball, more than anyone in school history except for Bobby Phillips (1,849) and Bobby Jackson (1,546). Phillips was Southern Conference Player of the year for Western Carolina in 1998, and you’ve probably heard about Jackson.
IN THE BLACK: After nine straight games in which she didn’t reach double figures, Carson soph Allison Blackwell put up 18 points against West Iredell on Thursday and a career-high 23 against South Rowan 24 hours later. With 452 points to her credit, Blackwell is on track for a 1,000-point career. Blackwell is second in career scoring among county BLACKWELL sophomores behind West Rowan’s talented Shay Steele (489).
GETTING TO THE LINE: Does anyone in the county get a higher percentage of her points on free throws than Carson’s Tyesha Phillips? Probably not. Phillips lives at the line, and that’s a good thing. She’s scored in double figures 10 times this season by scrapping on the glass and making foul shots.
NEW LIFE: West Rowan girls coach Erich Epps stated after his team crushed East Rowan 70-40 in Mount Ulla that it would be much, much tougher in Granite Quarry, especially if East had 6-3 freshman Karleigh Wike back in the lineup. Epps was right. East’s 60-58 upset of the Falcons on Friday elevated the injury-plagued Mustangs to a 4-6 league record and threw an unexpected twist into the NPC girls race. There’s now doubt about fourth place and the league’s final playoff berth. South Rowan should beat winless Statesville tonight to improve to 5-5, but East can still tie South for fourth if it beats the Raiders on Wednesday and South loses to West Rowan on Thursday. On the other hand, if you’re a South coach or player who thinks positively, you’re plan-

The college basketball Top 25 roundup ... MINNEAPOLIS — David Lighty scored 19 points and Jared Sullinger had 18 points and 13 rebounds to help topranked Ohio State stay unbeaten with an 82-69 victory over No. 18 Minnesota on Sunday. Every starter for the Buckeyes (24-0, 11-0 Big Ten) scored 10 or more points as they stretched the secondlongest winning streak in school history. William Buford added 15 points, four assists, four rebounds and two steals, and Ohio State marched forward in this challenging month on the schedule. Up next is a trip to No. 19 Wisconsin on Saturday. Blake Hoffarber led Minnesota (16-7, 5-6) with 16 points, playing the second half with a limp and a brace on his left knee.

UNC FROM 1B tonight. ... But as a point guard of this team, I do sort of feel like the leader and I have to lead by example. Marshall got pretty much anywhere he wanted against the Seminoles (16-7, 6-3) while directing an offense that is averaging 93 points over the past three ACC games. He penetrated past defenders to set up layups and dunks for teammates or kicked the ball out — sometimes behind his head — to open shooters on the wing. North Carolina’s 89 points and 56 percent shooting were not only the most allowed this season by the Seminoles, who came in leading the ACC in field goal percentage defense (35.5 percent) and second in scoring defense (60.6 points). It was the most points allowed by the Seminoles since giving up 90 to the Tar Heels almost three years ago. It was a strong showing for North Carolina as it heads into Wednesday night’s trip to reigning national champion and fifth-ranked Duke, particularly considering the turmoil that began barely 48 hours earlier. “We just wanted to come out here with a swagger,” Marshall said, “with an edge to us and basically show that we’re still North Carolina, that one player doesn’t make our program.”

MADISON, Wis. — Jordan Taylor scored 30 points to lead No. 19 Wisconsin in an 82-56 pounding of Michigan State on Sunday, the Spartans’ fifth loss in six games. One month ago in East Lansing, the Badgers (17-5, 73 Big Ten) had a nine-point lead with 2:37 to play.
Marshall had taken over the starting job from Drew after an ugly 20-point loss at Georgia Tech, and the Tar Heels hadn’t lost since. Then Drew walked out, issuing a statement without even a word to his teammates while relying on his father — Atlanta Hawks coach Larry Drew — to tell coach Roy Williams in a phone call. Williams said the team talked about Drew’s departure in a meeting Friday afternoon, then revisited it briefly Saturday morning. “It was a little bit of a difficult time we’ve gone through the last 48 hours,” Williams said. “Usually when that happens, you’d love to play a game so you can put all that stuff behind you. We talked a great deal when it happened, that it was over with, it was behind us. We had to go forward and I think we did that today.” His departure forced more of a burden on Marshall and sophomore Dexter Strickland. But Marshall looked completely at ease, finishing with three turnovers in a seasonhigh 36 minutes while directing an offense that hummed almost all game. “We hadn’t seen him play,” FSU’s Chris Singleton said. “We underestimated him, and he showed us what he’s capable of doing.” He also came through with a critical basket after Florida State scored nine straight points to pull within seven.

GAME FROM 1B

dejected Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger exits the field.
MVP FROM 1B and the one that features NFL Defensive Player of the Year Troy Polamalu and linebacker James Harrison. “He is the reason they won,” Steelers defensive lineman Brett Keisel said. Added Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin: “He showed his mettle and continued to stand in there and throw the football accurately.” That’s not all Rodgers did. He changed plays at the last moment, reading the defense before the snap and adjusting. He overcame a poor start and a third-quarter lapse. And he did it all without the benefit of any help from a Packers running game that was limited to 50 yards. “We put everything on his shoulders,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. “He did a lot at the line of scrimmage for us against a great defense.” Rodgers was hardly perfect all game. But perhaps he could be forgiven if he was experiencing some jitters: After all, the guy only played in one playoff game in his career be-
fore this season. “We kind of struggled at times on offense,” Rodgers said. That’s true. He began the game by overthrowing receivers and generally being off-kilter, completing only one of his first five passes. But he knows a thing or two about slow starts. Just look at Rodgers’ career arc. Despite record-setting years during high school in Chico, Calif., the skinny Rodgers — he was 5-foot-10 and 165 pounds back then — was not seriously recruited by major college football programs. That was OK, though. Never let it bother him. Rodgers went to a community college. Then he starred for two seasons at California. Finally, he was on everyone’s radar, and although he wound up sliding on NFL draft day in 2005, Rodgers was available when Green Bay picked 24th overall. How good does that choice look now? Against Pittsburgh, Green Bay’s second drive began with Rodgers overthrowing Jennings. And then? Rodgers couldn’t miss. He went 5 for 5 for 63 yards, finishing the possession with a 29-yard toss to
Cheesehead leads field in Phoenix
Woodson went out late in the first half with a collarbone injury, a few plays after Driver was sidelined with an ankle problem. “It was very difficult to watch,” Woodson said, “but it feels good now.” Woodson saw the Steelers, who rallied from a 21-7 halftime hole against Baltimore three weeks ago, show the same resilience. A 37-yard catch and run by Antwaan Randle El — an almost forgotten figure during his return season with just 22 receptions — sparked a quick 77-yard drive. Hines Ward, the 2006 Super Bowl MVP, had 39 yards on three catches during the series, including an 8-yard TD when he completely fooled Jarrett Bush. A quick defensive stop and a 50-yard drive to Rashard Mendenhall’s 8-yard touchdown run made it 21-17. But with Pittsburgh driving for perhaps its first lead of the game, Mendenhall was stripped at the Green Bay 33 by Clay Matthews — one of the few plays the All-Pro linebacker made. The Packers recovered, and Rodgers hit Jennings for 8 yards and the winning points. Pittsburgh’s last gasp was on a 25-yard touchdown pass to Mike Wallace and a brilliant pitchout by Roethlisberger to Randle El for a 2-point conversion. Mason Crosby added a 23yard field goal for the Packers and the Steelers had no more comebacks in them. “You play to be world champions,” Matthews said, “and that’s what we are today.”

slapping Favre was famous for when he was the player Cheeseheads loved the most. It was clear who’s got their hearts now: Packers fans filled Cowboys Stadium with choruses of “Aa-ron Rodg-ers!” and “M-V-P!” Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, with his two previous Super Bowl championships, was supposed to be the one who would relish the grand stage. But while he was throwing two first-half picks, it was Rodgers who shined.
ARLINGTON, Texas — In their zeal to set a Super Bowl attendance record, the NFL and Jerry Jones overlooked one important detail: Making sure all the temporary seats inside mammoth Cowboys Stadium had been inspected and were ready for the fans. A week plagued by poor weather took an embarrassing turn Sunday when the league had to find replacement seats for 850 fans. The NFL also scrambled to find a place for another 400 people to sit inside Jones’ $1.2 billion palace and couldn’t find any with a view of the field. “This is absolutely ridiculous,” said Glen Long, a Pittsburgh Steelers season-ticket holder who flew in from Baltimore. “That would be fraud anywhere in the world if you sold tickets to an event that you knew you didn’t have. That’s just wrong.” Actually, the seats had been installed in six tempo-
rary sections, but they went up so late that the fire marshal didn’t have time to inspect them, according to a police officer standing near an affected area who wouldn’t give his name and an explanation of the situation provided to several fans. The officer said the winter storms that struck Dallas earlier had set back work on the temporary seats. That didn’t matter to fans who felt they had been deceived by the league and Jones, the Dallas Cowboys owner who had hoped some 105,000 people would watch the game inside and outside the stadium. To bolster the crowd, there were $200 tickets that provided nothing more than a chance to watch the game on video screens set up in outdoor plazas. That didn’t work out, either: Attendance was announced at 103,219, just short of the record 103,985 who turned out at the Rose Bowl for the 1980 Super Bowl.
Rondo leads Boston to win over Magic Associated Press
Associated Press
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Mark Wilson had some fun on the amphitheater 16th hole in the third round of the Phoenix Open, donning a cheesehead and joining caddie Chris Jones to lead the rowdy fans in Packers chants. The Wisconsin player, two strokes ahead of three players when play was suspended Sunday because of darkness, will be careful not to get too carried away Monday morning when he hits the 20,000seat hole in the final round. “I’m just going to try to make birdies in a smart way, not going to be firing at every pin,” said Wilson, the Sony Open winner last month in Hawaii. “That’s silly. Just hit smart shots and try to roll in the putts.” Wearing a yellow visor and green shirt in support of his beloved Packers, Wilson did just that late Sunday, breaking a tie with Tommy Gainey with a 15-foot birdie putt on the par-3 12th. Gainey threeputted the hole for a bogey. “I birdied some tough holes,” Wilson said. “The 4iron I hit on 12 was the best swing of the day and I rolled
great, baby,” Jennings said. Then the favored Packers held on as Pittsburgh (14-5) stormed back. “We’ve been a team that’s overcome adversity all year,” Jennings said, who noted injuries to Charles Woodson and Donald Driver. “Our head captain goes down, emotional in the locker room. Our No. 1 receiver goes down, more emotions are going, flying in the locker room. But we find a way to bottle it up and exert it all out here on the field.” Few teams have been as resourceful as these Packers, who couldn’t wait to touch the trophy honoring their greatest coach — and their title. Several of them kissed it as Cowboys great Roger Staubach walked through a line of green and gold. “Vince Lombardi is coming back to Green Bay,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said as the silver prize was handed to the team. After sitting for three seasons, Rodgers took the Packers to two late-season victories just to make the playoffs as a wild card. Then he guided them to wins at Philadelphia, Atlanta and archrival Chicago before his biggest achievement — against a Pittsburgh team ranked second in defense. They barely survived a sensational rally by the Steelers, who still own the most Super Bowl rings — six in eight tries. But Pittsburgh failed to get its third championship in
six years with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Roethlisberger’s season began with a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. It ended with Roethlisberger standing on the sideline, his head down, hands on his hips, feeling something he never experienced: defeat in a Super Bowl. “I feel like I let the city of Pittsburgh down, the fans, my coaches and my teammates,” Roethlisberger said, “and it’s not a good feeling.” Not even a decidedly blackand-gold crowd, with Terrible Towels swirling throughout the $1.2 billion stadium, could make a difference for the mistake-prone Steelers. Their two biggest defensive stars — Defensive Player of the Year safety Troy Polamalu and outside linebacker James Harrison — were virtually invisible. The offense didn’t seem to miss outstanding rookie center Maurkice Pouncey, who was out with an ankle injury, but Roethlisberger only occasionally made key plays until the second half. The biggest plays were left to Rodgers, Nick Collins with a 37-yard interception return for a TD, Jennings, Nelson, and the rest of the guys in green and gold. In the end, they gave coach Mike McCarthy his first Super Bowl victory against the team he rooted for while growing up in Pittsburgh. Besides Lombardi, Mike Holmgren won a title in 1997 with Favre. “This is a great group of men here, a lot of character,” Rodgers said. “We went through a lot together.” Even on Sunday, they did.

Mark Wilson sports the green and gold of the Packers. in that putt. Just felt good. “Been a long ride. I mean, four holes the first day, 28 holes the next day and then four holes and now 31 holes, and we’ll do five more tomorrow and see what happens.” Wilson and Gainey were facing 20-foot birdie putts on the par-5 13th when they decided it was too dark to finish the hole. “I was thinking about putting it, but it’s hard to read and it’s a goofy little putt,” Wilson said. “It’ll be a lot easier tomorrow morning. “Someone was screaming in my head saying, ‘Don’t putt this tonight!’ So, when I heard that voice, I said, ‘Let’s mark it.’” Wilson was 18 under on TPC Scottsdale’s Stadium Course. Gainey was tied for second with Vijay Singh and Jason Dufner. Singh shot a 5under 66, while Dufner had four holes left.

At that point, the Celtics had made 9 of their 10 shots in the period while the Magic had hit just 4 of 18. Orlando scored the last six points of the third quarter, cutting the lead to 7061, but the Celtics came right back with a 7-2 run to go ahead 77-63. They led by at least eight the rest of the way. Paul Pierce added 18 points and Kevin Garnett had 16 for the Celtics, who improved to 23-4 at home. Dwight Howard had 28 points and 13 rebounds
for the Magic, who lost for the fifth time in eight games. Heat 97, Clippers 79 MIAMI — Dwyane Wade had 28 points, eight rebounds and eight assists and the Heat stretched their winning streak to six games. Chris Bosh scored 16, Eddie House added 15 and LeBron James had 12 points for Miami. The Heat started the fourth quarter on an 18-4 burst to pull away. Blake Griffin had his 42nd doubledouble for the season, finishing with 21 points and 16 rebounds. Knicks 117, 76ers 103 NEW YORK — Amare Stoudemire matched his season high with 41 points, and the Knicks beat the 76ers to split a home-and-home series. Rookie Landry Fields added a careerhigh 25 points and grabbed 10 rebounds
as New York rebounded from a 100-98 loss Friday night in Philadelphia to snap a two-game losing streak and win for just the fourth time in 13 games. Pacers 105, Nets 86 NEWARK, N.J. — Dahntay Jones scored a season-high 18 points and Indiana remained unbeaten in four games under interim coach Frank Vogel. Mike Dunleavy added 17 points and hit a 3-pointer to ignite an early 10-point run that put the Pacers ahead for good. Devin Harris had 13 points and seven assists and Brook Lopez added 13 for New Jersey, which lost its third straight. Indiana had six players score in double figures. Paul George added 14, Danny Granger and Roy Hibbert had 11 apiece and Darren Collison 10. Indiana has scored at least 100 points in each of its four games since Vogel replaced Jim O’Brien a week ago Sunday.
Lightning uses power play to beat Blues in OT Associated Press
The NHL roundup ... TAMPA, Fla. — Vincent Lecavalier had a power-play goal at 4:53 in overtime, Steven Stamkos scored his NHLleading 40th goal and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the St. Louis Blues 4-3 on Sunday. St. Louis defenseman Eric Brewer was called for a holding penalty 3:40 into the extra session, and Lecavalier converted a rebound backhander for his ninth goal of the season, giving Tampa
Bay the victory. Stamkos had three assists, and Dominic Moore and Steve Downie also scored for the Lightning, who have won seven of eight. Stamkos also leads the NHL with 72 points. Devils 4, Canadiens 1 MONTREAL — Dainius Zubrus and Ilya Kovalchuk scored 2:52 apart early in the first, sending the New Jersey Devils to a win over the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday. Martin Brodeur got his 615th career win despite leaving after the first peri-
od because of a bruised right leg. Brodeur stopped all 11 shots he faced before he was replaced for the second by Johan Hedberg. Capitals 3, Penguins 0 WASHINGTON — Brooks Laich scored a blue-collar goal, Marcus Johansson got a flashy one, and the Washington Capitals stayed super on Super Sunday, beating the star-starved Penguins. The Capitals won their eighth straight Super Bowl matinee and snapped the five-game winning streak of their dreaded rival.

Childhood joint pain, fainting in the elderly Bridge hand: Should you go high or low? Dear Dr. Gott: Regarding your past columns about “growing pains,” I had such severe pain in my knees as a young teen that I could barely walk. I was told it was due to a growth spurt and to just learn to live with it. I had no fevers, redness or swelling, but just a few years later was hit with MCTD, inc l u d i n g rheumatoid arthritis. I am DR. PETER happy that you told the GOTT child’s granny to look for other symptoms, such as fever, etc., but I think the pediatrician should have looked into doing some blood work to rule out other possibilities. On another topic: For all those elderly people out there who have “fainting fits,” the “woozies” or the “spins,” drink a couple of glasses of water. My dad used to conk out for no apparent reason, and it usually turned out that he did not consume enough fluids and overused laxatives. We would get him to the ER and after IV hydration, he would snap out of it. Removal of laxatives from the house and closer monitoring of his fluid intake helped keep him on his feet. Dear reader: Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is an uncommon autoimmune disorder, meaning that the body’s immune system attacks itself. It is sometimes referred to an as overlap disease because it causes symp-
toms similar to those associated with lupus, polymyositis, scleroderma and, sometimes, rheumatoid arthritis. MCTD most often occurs in women in their 20s and 30s. Symptoms generally occur gradually with signs of lupus appearing first in most cases. Most sufferers are first diagnosed with lupus because of this, but as symptoms progress, the diagnosis of MCTD is then made. Symptoms may include Raynaud’s disease (which may present years before other symptoms), malaise (feeling unwell), fatigue, mild fever, swollen joints and/or hands, puffy fingers, myalgia (muscle pain) and arthralgias (joint pain). There is no cure, but treatment is available. Mild cases may not require treatment at all. Moderate to severe cases may need daily medication with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as over-thecounter ibuprofen or naproxen sodium and prescription ibuprofen, oxaprozin and others. These work to reduce inflammation and pain. Methotrexate and corticosteroids, such as prednisone, may also be prescribed. These drugs work to suppress the immune system, thus reducing inflammation and pain. Other immunosuppressant drugs may be used if symptoms are more like one particular disorder, rather than an equal or nearequal combination of them. For example, those primarily with lupus-like symptoms may benefit from drugs used to treat lupus. There are no known risk
factors for developing MCTD, and there is no known cause. Complications of the disease and its treatment can include heart disease, pulmonary hypertension, possible pregnancy complications (studies currently conflict) and side effects of long-term corticosteroid use. Now to your advice regarding fainting. Dehydration can be a serious problem, especially when combined with laxative overuse. This is especially true in the elderly who may already be on several medications and have other health concerns. Laxatives should only be used sparingly, if at all (unless directed by your doctor), because they can cause dehydration and dependence. To provide related information, I am sending you copies of my Health Reports “Managing Chronic Pain” and “Constipation and Diarrhea.” Other readers who would like copies should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order for each report to Newsletter, P.O.

Last week we looked at declarer’s play from the dummy at trick one. He had to choose between a low card and a high card. Here is one more important example. How would you plan the play in three no-trump after West leads the spade eight? First, count your top tricks. You have seven: one spade (given the lead), three hearts and three clubs. You will have to plug away at the diamonds. If East has both the ace and king of diamonds, you will have no chance; East will collect three spade and two diamond tricks before you can win nine. So, assume West has a diamond honor. If you play the spade two from the dummy, East will
cover with an encouraging seven. If you then duck from your hand, West will continue with his second spade, leaving you with no chance. Or if you win with your king,
when West gets in with his diamond king, he will lead his remaining spade through dummy’s queen, resulting in down two. Similarly, if you try dummy’s 10 at trick one, East will cover with the jack. Now analyze second hand high, calling for the queen. East wins with his ace, but then what? If East continues spades, he gives you two tricks in the suit; and when West gets in with his diamond king, he will not have a spade left to lead. If East shifts to another suit, you can attack diamonds, knocking out East’s entry before his suit is established. Agreed, it is lucky that East has a singleton diamond ace, so that you can drive out his entry first, but did you benefit from your good fortune?
‘Inception,’ ‘Social Network’ win at writer awards LOS ANGELES (AP) — The sci-fi smash “Inception” and the Facebook drama “The Social Network” took top screenplay honors Saturday night at the Writers Guild Awards. “Inception” writer Christopher Nolan won for best original screenplay and “The Social Network” writer Aaron Sorkin won for best adapted screenplay. The awards were handed out by the Writers Guild of America in simultaneous ceremonies at the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles and the AXA Equitable Center in New York.
“The Social Network,” which Sorkin adapted from the Ben Mezrich book “The Accidental Billionaires,” was expected to win Saturday. But the original screenplay category was considered a toss-up between “Inception,” the psychosexual thriller “Black Swan” and the boxing drama “The Fighter” because current awards-season darling “The King’s Speech” was not eligible for a WGA award as it was not made under the writing union’s contract guidelines. Other of the top films of 2010 like “Toy Story 3” and “Winter’s Bone” were ineligi-
ble for the same reason. Sorkin will be the prohibitive favorite in the adapted category, and “The King’s Speech” and “Inception” will vie for original screenplay honors at the Academy Awards on Feb. 27. “The Social Network,” was also considered an early favorite for a best picture Oscar. But it has been trumped in recent award ceremonies including the Golden Globes and Producers Guild Awards by “The King’s Speech,” which features Colin Firth as the stammering father of Queen Elizabeth II and is expected to sweep several cat-

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER Another round of wintry precipitation will develop in the East on Monday as disturbances from the Midwest and the Southern Plains reach across the Appalachians by Monday evening. The systems will provide snow showers to the northern Northeast, while rain mixed with snow develops across the Central and Northern Appalachians. A few inches of snow is expected to accumulate by the end of the day. More significant snowfall with larger snow accumulations are expected in New England by Tuesday evening. To the south, low pressure located on the end of the aforementioned disturbances will bring rain to the southeastern quadrant of the nation. Rain showers will develop from the Central Gulf Coast into parts of the Tennessee Valley through the southern Mid-Atlantic. Showers will change into snow by the evening. Meanwhile, another disturbance will move through the Florida Peninsula, bringing periods of heavy rain to northern Florida. In the West, a storm from the Northwest will provide more rain and snow showers across the Northern Intermountain West, the Northern and Central Rockies, and parts of South Dakota and Nebraska. Elsewhere, cool, showery weather will follow a cold front into the Pacific Northwest tonight and Monday, while cooler weather returns to California.
