Fitness course commemorates fifth-grader’s life BY DAVID FREEZE For the Salisbury post
CHINA GROVE — Caleigh Tutherow was a fifth-grade student at China Grove Elementary until last May, when she died from liver disease. But her memory will continue at the school, thanks to a series of fitness stations known as “Caleigh’s Course.” It was dedicated in her honor on Monday. Caleigh was remembered as a happy person who enjoyed being with other students and playing with friends. She was loved by her family and especially her dog, Phoenix. Caleigh was helpful in class and eager to learn. She was a determined child, ready and willing to go after what she wanted. She was especially proud to be in the chorus and had been featured in newspaper articles about the chorus. Her love of shopping, especially for shoes was well known. Her favorite footwear was lace up boots and tennis shoes. Caleigh bravely faced her chronic illness issues. She was active in the Landis Baptist Church and First Baptist Church of China Grove, attending often with her grandparents. To commemorate her, the Rowan

More than 600 people gathered for Monday’s memorial service. County United Way and the Day of Caring provided the materials and labor for the physical fitness course. United Way volunteers from the Men’s Group at Milford Hills Baptist Church donated their time over several weeks to construct the cours.

thanked the volunteers who completed the project. “We are glad to do what we can in the schools, especially something as meaningful as this project,” said Jackie Harris, United Way campaign director. “Many of our projects consist of things that the schools can’t afford to do themselves. Through Day of Caring funding, these students will be able to enjoy this area for years to come.” Dennis Sims, project leader of the Milford Hills Baptist volunteers, added, “This was our third year working on Day of Caring, but the first time we did a project like this. We are not finished yet, and we look forward to adding a sign to commemorate Caleigh’s life.” White asked Caleigh’s family to join her in the fitness area. Caleigh’s mother, Michelle Collins, and her grandparents, Charles and Sylvia Collins and Clifford and Norma Tutherow came forward. Caleigh’s brother Invictus, also a student at China Grove Elementary, cut the official ribbon opening the area for use by the students. “Caleigh would have liked all of this. It is very nice what the volunteers did. It will keep her memory going. She was wonderful,” Michelle Collins said.

EAST SPENCER — The East Spencer Fire Department has been suspended from providing medical responder service after a county inspection revealed faulty and missing medical supplies. The suspension was effective immediately after a routine inspection Thursday by the Rowan County Emergency Services Department. Fire Chief Shane Cranfield said the department should be restocked and ready to provide medical service again by the end of this week. Emergency Services Director Frank Thomason said the inspection uncovered “several deficiencies,” including an inoperable automated external defibrillator, “grossly deficient” advanced airway supplies and the absence of mandatory over-thecounter medications. “There are number of these different inventory supply items that

House must go, board members say Commissioners want to sell county-owned house to clean up property BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
As the county continues to clean up a 250-gallon fuel oil spill outside a rental home it owns, county commissioners are renewing calls for it to sell off property it does not need. The Rowan County Board of Commissioners unanimously voted at its meeting Monday to sell the home and to accept an offer to buy another county-owned property. Last month, a fuel oil tank leaked its contents at a Sloan Park house owned by the county. County Manager Gary Page recommended that the board declare the house — but not the land it sits on — as surplus property. During the past 30 days, the county has been in the process of cleaning up the site by disposing of contaminated soil. After the one-story house is sold and moved, the remaining soil underneath it will be hauled off and the lot will remain vacant. “The best thing we could do with the property would be to sell the house and let it be moved to another piece of property,” Page said. “If we leave the home in place, we have issues with how to get the fuel oil out of the soil under the home, and then we’re still trying to rent the home.” Page said after the meeting that the total cleanup cost is uncertain, but it likely will be between $50,000 and $75,000. By selling the house, Page said, the county would gain about $15,000 in revenue and avoid the $50,000 cost of removing contaminated soil from underneath it. It also would avoid paying $4,000 for asbestos abatement, which would be required if the house was burned. Commissioner Carl Ford said he visited the site and thinks Page’s recommendation is the best option.

Hood Seminary will hold a memorial service Friday in memory of Canon Lawrence Mbuwayesango of Zimbabwe and in honor of his daughter, Hood faculty member Dean Dora Mbuwayesango. The service will be held 4 p.m. Friday in Hood’s Chapel at 1810 Lutheran Synod Drive. A reception in the Students’ Lounge will follow the service. Mbuwayesango, who died Jan. 4, worked as a teacher in several Anglican (Episcopal) mission schools (1958-1968) before being trained as a priest for three years at St John’s seminary, Lusaka, Zambia (1968-1970). He was an ordained minister in the Anglican Church of the Province of Central Africa MBUWAYESANGO (1971) and later became a Marriage Officer. He served in several capacities and different dioceses of the Anglican church. Memorials may be given to Hood Seminary for support of the HIV/AIDS Ministry in Zimbabwe that Canon Mbuwayesango cared for deeply.

RALEIGH (AP) — The North Carolina Education Lottery formally sought information Monday on how it could operate casino-style video gambling machines should the GOP-led Legislature and Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue decide to regulate — rather than keep outlawing — them. New lottery Executive Director Alice Garland said her agency put out a request for details from companies that have the ability to run a centrally operated video lottery terminal system that would operate multiple games. The request, which sets a Feb. 28 deadline for responses, is not a request for competitive bids to actually carry out such a set of games. Garland emphasized the lottery has no opinion about whether the state should get in the business. Rather, it wants to be prepared as a precautionary matter should lawmakers agree it wants to use the lottery to regulate video gambling and a contract is needed. “Should the Legislature decide to do something, they’re going to want it done yesterday,” Garland said.

BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
LANDIS — The town and YMCA hope to bring adventure to southern Rowan by opening up walking and hiking trails, camping and much more at Lake Corriher. The town of Landis has for some time been discussing what outdoor activities it could offer to residents in an untapped area. The board received a presentation Tuesday from South Rowan YMCA staff and volunteers at its board meeting. In 2008 and 2009, through the United Way Day of Caring, volunteers cleared a trail and built a bridge that connects the lake to the YMCA property and to available parking. Town Manager Reed Linn said in January the board wants to offer something other towns can’t offer — wilderness recreation. Features of the wilderness area will include walking and hiking trails, camping and fishing, as well as canoeing and kayaking. In August the town discussed plans for turning an existing lake house into an office where people could buy fishing permits and other daily lake/park passes. Aaron Crowe, Y aquatics and fitness director, said the idea was originally presented about five years ago to the board to do something with the area. Crowe said the bridge leads you to the lower lake and leads to the trails. They’ve been in talks with the cross country teams from both South Rowan High and Carson High about using these trails for practice and meets. David Freeze, who is involved with the United Way Day of Caring and the Salisbury Rowan Runners, spoke about the work it took to clear

Granite Quarry selects contractor for flood prevention work BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com
S48783
GRANITE QUARRY — The Board of Aldermen awarded a $279,021 contract Monday night for work aimed at alleviating flooding problems on Brookwood Drive. The contract will go to Horsepower Site Services of Charlotte, the low bidder. The second lowest bid came from Lynn Thomas Grading of Polkton, the contractor that did Granite Lake Park. Others bids included WP Contractors, $326,700; Bullseye Construction, $338,599; Carolina Siteworks, $358,067; and Concord Builders, $372,711. Voting for the low bid were Mayor Pro Tem Bill Feather and Aldermen Jake Fisher and Eloise Peeler. Mayor Mary Ponds and Alderman Brad Kluttz could not attend Monday’s monthly meeting. The board also approved the merger of the town’s Parks and Recreation Committee with its Community Projects and Events Committee. The new 12-member body will be called the Parks, Events and Recreation Commission, and it is expected to meet every month. Both groups supported the merger, and members of each body held a joint meeting to discuss the issue. “It was a good meeting that night,” Peeler said, “and everybody seemed to want that combination.” The new commission will have a chairman and co-chairman, with the co-chairman becoming chairman every two years. In other business, the town board: • Heard from Town Manager Dan Peters that revenues are running 5 percent to 7 percent behind in the 2010-11 fiscal year, due to lower-than-anticipated collections in sales and vehicle taxes. Meanwhile, the town’s spending was running about 3 percent ahead of where it was targeted to be through Jan. 31. Peters has put town departments under a spending freeze. Another concern in 2011 could be the county’s revaluation, Peters added. Granite Quarry has been told its property valuations could be 3 to 5 percent behind last year’s valuations, he said. • Approved a budget amendment for the Fire Department, reflecting a $251.82 donation from the Fred’s discount store. • Proclaimed February as Black History Month.

enny Hogan was one of four brothers who played sports. All had talent, but Denny was special. It was apparent very early. His dad James played ball with the boys and was instrumental in their love of sports. Mike, the oldest was a baseball and basketball star. He eventually earned a scholarship to Pfeiffer University for basketball. Pinky played basketball and baseball, entered the military and eventually played on some very good softball teams. Ralph, the youngest, was a talented Little League baseball pitcher and shortstop before pursuing other interests. Denny starred at South Rowan in baseball and basketball in the 1960s. He was good enough to earn all-state honors in both sports, and once scored 65 points in a single high school basketball game. Football didn’t enter the mix because dad James didn’t want them to play. Denny did sneak off once to try out for the junior high team, and was injured on the first day of practice. The injury required 40 stitches, so football didn’t come up again. Denny Hogan learned early that basketball was Hogan his favorite sport, but others paid more attention to his baseball. He played shortstop for Coach Lope Linder at South Rowan, and for one year had brother Mike beside him at third base and brother Pinky in left field. Hogan remembers sharing pitching with top pitcher Tony McGalliard, who used up his arm since there was no innings limit. Hogan was good enough to be the one of the youngest players ever to play American Legion baseball at age 13. He played his first two years at Kannapolis, before joining Coach Joe Ferebee with the Rowan County team.

Denny Hogan takes a swing while playing on the Howard’s Furniture softball team.
Denny Hogan goes fishing with his grandsons At age 16 and accompanied by his dad, Hogan went to Dillon, S.C., to meet with New York Mets officials. They offered more than $7,000 as a signing bonus. Hogan’s dad refused and held out for more. He felt that another year or two of big numbers would attract an even better contract. That contract would never come because Hogan ruptured a disc shortly thereafter. He laughingly blames wife Renee for
missing his chance to play professional baseball since they were high school sweethearts. At the time, industrial softball was on the rise in the Landis area. Corriher Mills sponsored a powerful team that regularly competed against the other best teams in the state. Hogan joined the team at age 18 in 1968 and played there along with brother Pinky for four years.
East Spencer gets clean audit BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
EAST SPENCER — The Town of East Spencer was presented with a clean financial audit Monday for the first time in years, according to the mayor pro tempore. “I’ve been here nine years, and this is the best one we’ve gotten yet,” said Alderman Phronice Johnson. “We’ve always had some findings. I’m ecstatic.” For fiscal year 2010, Allred and Carrick, CPAs, gave the town an unqualified opinion, which means that to the best of their knowledge, the financial statements reflect the town’s books and records. Though East Spencer is facing difficulties in some areas, Eddie Carrick said, the town is maintaining a fund balance and spending conservatively. “You actually had more revenue than expenditures by $330,000 in the past year,” Carrick said. “That was very good, especially in today’s economy.” He said compared to last year, expenditures were down about
$120,000 in the general fund and were decreased in every department. Property tax revenue remained steady while sales tax revenue decreased, and total revenue was nearly $1.5 million. Carrick said the numbers were not as good for the water and sewer fund. Revenues trailed expenditures by more than $122,000. “As far as water and sewer goes, maybe tough decisions will have to be made for the well-being of the town,” Carrick said. “You’re going to have to look at all the options and get creative.” At the end of the fiscal year, the unreserved fund balance for the general fund totaled about $196,000, or 19 percent of total general fund expenditures ($1.3 million). “For once, this town is finally going in the right direction,” Johnson said after the meeting. “We have money in the fund balance for once... Even with the shortfalls it looks like we’re having, there are

The team disbanded and Hogan was recruited by Richard Howard from national powerhouse Howard’s Furniture out of Denver, N.C. Howard’s assembled the very best softball players from around the country, regularly flying to tournaments all over the U.S. Howard’s Furniture was coached by Bobby Lutz, father of former University of North Carolina at Charlotte basketball coach Bobby Lutz Jr. The younger Lutz was the team’s batting practice pitcher. When Hogan first joined the team, Lutz Jr. pitched to Hogan and was surprised that base hits flew off his bat one after another. Upset by the apparent lack of home run power, Lutz Jr. shouted to his dad, “What did we get him for?” Howard’s was a Major Open softball team and the players were considered professionals. Emphasis was placed on ability to hit home runs, even by the best defensive players.

Cabarrus puts sales tax vote on the commissioner agenda BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com
CONCORD — Faced with choosing between a tax increase or cutting services, the Cabarrus County Commissioners took the first step Monday toward letting taxpayers decide. They voted unanimously to put a referendum on a quarter-cent sales tax on the agenda for their Feb. 21 business meeting. If the referendum passes that night, voters could go to the polls as early as May to decide the issue. “The general public needs to decide what to pay for and how to pay for it,” Commissioner Liz Poole said. A little more than a year from now, property tax values in Cabarrus County will be reassessed based on recent market conditions.
Because of the recession, overall property values across the county are expected to go down about 9 percent. Updating commissioners on the revaluation process, Chris Ferris of the county’s tax department said some homes in good neighborhoods may go up in value. Many more will go down. That means that property tax rates would have to be raised just to keep the same amount of money coming in — a “revenue-neutral” tax increase. If that happens, some property owners might end up paying less each year in taxes, even with a higher tax rate. Commissioners are poised to adopt a spending freeze, no matter what happens with tax rates.

HOGAN
owner and this team. Throughout his tenure as a professional softball player, Hogan won 37 most valuable player awards, made 30 all-world teams, and was named player of the decade for the 1970s. He is enshrined in the American Softball Association, National Softball Association and United States Slow-pitch Softball Association halls of fame. Two memories bring big smiles to Hogan’s face. Once at a home run contest in Greeley, Colo., he was chosen as a last-minute replacement for teammate known for his home run power. The announcer called Hogan “the man who is not supposed to be here,” and kept referring to him that way each time Hogan took his turn at bat. Hogan won the competition. At the Petersburg, Va., World Tournament, Mizuno was just making its name known as a softball glove maker. After being honored once again as MVP, Hogan laid his hand on a form and was rewarded shortly thereafter with a brand new glove with his name and MVP stamped into it. Hogan once played 14 straight back-to-back games after losing early in a tournament. There were no rest breaks, and during the last game, Hogan collapsed from exhaustion and dehydration. He recovered in time to make another all-tournament team. Hogan had been the only player to play in every game. At another tourna-
ment in Cleveland, Ohio, he played in front of 15,000 fans. Denny, Renee and Tony Hogan all remember the fun atmosphere of traveling with the team. “It was a good Christian environment, and there was no drinking while in uniform,” Renee said. “The team all gathered at the hotel pool for church services on Sundays.” Her only regret, she said, is that “I wish our daughter Teka could have been a part of it all.” Hogan retired from Major Open Softball at age 33 when it became hard to keep his family on the road. The family opened a Western Steer Steak House in Kannapolis. Today, Denny and Renee Hogan revel in their kids and grandchildren. They attend games and other events. Grandson Gunnar just signed a baseball scholarship with Catawba College, and will continue his baseball career after finishing at Carson High School this spring. The Hogans got to see a lot of the country and enjoyed life because of Denny’s athletic ability. Nothing would suit Denny Hogan better than for all of his grandchildren to find the same level of success that he did. He doesn’t care if they find it as athletes, but if they do, then it will be just fine with him. Hogan might offer a tip or two, but he’ll do that too when the boys want to go fishing. Either way, Denny Hogan is still making memories.
Hogan remembers Howard’s playing 300 games in roughly 26 tournaments annually. Famous world-class players surrounded Hogan. Names like Bruce Meade, H.T. Waller, Burt Smith and Don Arndt followed Hogan, who served as the team’s leadoff hitter. Originally, Hogan didn’t play shortstop for the team but acquired the position when he proved his ability to hit and play defense. During the week, when the team wasn’t playing, Hogan had to hit 100 softballs daily. After joining the team, his weight went from 165 to 285, yet he still played shortstop, the most skilled position on the field. His philosophy was, “Catch the ones hit at you, then go hit!” Howard’s played in nearly every state, usually starting down south in the cold weather and working north. Hogan doesn’t remember playing in Alaska, Hawaii, or Washington, D.C. If the games were less than eight hours away, the team drove; if more than that, they flew. Families usually went along. In fact it was encouraged; Howard’s paid the expenses for them too. Hogan’s son Tony spent time as the team batboy, and wife Renee made most of the trips. If traveling by car, the caravan had a uniformed highway patrolman as the lead driver. Such was the clout of the
Blueberry research update Feb. 17 at Research Campus KANNAPOLIS — Mary Ann Lila will present an update on blueberry research Feb. 17 at the N.C. Research Campus. Lila, director of N.C. State University’s Plants for Human Health Institute, will present “Berries: Stressed for Success” from noon to 1 p.m. at Restaurant Forty-Six in Kannapolis. The event is free (lunch not included) and open to the public. Reserve a seat at the forum by today. Send an e-mail to susan_stirewalt@ncsu.edu. During the informal gathering, which will include rep-
resentatives from the Research Campus and other organizations, Lila will share nutrition information and research updates on blueberries. Her presentation is part of a monthly administrative forum developed as a networking event for professionals and businesses who work with, or are interested in working with, the Research Campus. Lila’s research focuses on three areas: studying healthenhancing compounds in blueberries and other berries, isolating phytochemicals that counteract malaria, and work-
ing with scientists and students from around the world to explore natural products for biomedical use. The Plants for Human Health Institute’s goal is to pioneer a shift in the way the American public views and uses plant food crops — not merely as a source of nutrients but as a resource for components that protect and enhance human health. The Research Campus forum takes place on the third Thursday of every month with a featured speaker. Contact reporter Emily Ford at 704-797-4264.

But taxes would have to go up somewhere to keep providing the same level of services. Commissioner Larry Burrage, elected last autumn, said that he remains opposed to any tax increases. He said he’d like to let local residents decide on the sales tax, but that there must also be cuts in spending. “We can’t afford to keep doing what we’ve been doing,” Burrage said. The question is knowing where to start pruning. Chairman Jay White said that any further cuts to county services to would begin to impact residents. “Libraries, the Arts Council, parks and recreation, the senior center,” White said, listing discretionary areas where cuts could potentially take place. At their planning retreat last month, commissioners asked for a list of possible scenarios to show how tax changes might affect the county’s revenue. Commissioners also wanted to see a list of services that the county must provide by law, so they could know where cuts can be made. “Right now, we have to identify those programs we’re going to get out of the business of providing,” said Commissioner Bob Carruth. Carruth, a former chairman of the board, said that Cabarrus County wasn’t suffering from the effects of “tax and spend.” He also said he hoped that people would consider the impact of a sales tax as opposed to property tax hike. Property taxes affect everyone in the county, Carruth said. But visitors to Charlotte Motor Speedway, Concord Mills and other local attractions would help bear the burden of a sales tax. The state of North Carolina allows counties to enact the optional sales tax if residents vote to do so. So far, only 17 out of 100 counties have done so. During Monday’s session, commissioners also discussed their legislative priorities for the coming year. Among them: asking legislators to stop passing along unfunded mandates to counties. With Raleigh facing a steep budget deficit in the coming year, White said locals needed to be wary of attempts by the General Assembly to quietly pass even more costs on to local residents.

A Salisbury woman reported she was getting money from an ATM outside Salisbury Mall when a would-be robber approached and threatened her with a knife. Samantha Smith was using the Bank of America ATM in the mall parking lot about 11:30 a.m. Friday when a woman walked up behind her, the Salisbury Police Department reported Monday. The woman told Smith she wanted $50 and that if Smith didn’t give her the money, she would use a knife she had in her pocket, the report said. She told Smith she was desperate and needed money. Smith drove away and reported the incident to a Salisbury Mall security officer. Smith described the woman as being white and 40 to 50 years old with brown hair. She wore a long tan or suede hooded coat.

He has been in and out of prison since 2007. About a month ago, Wyatt was arrested on a warrant for failure to appear in court and told arresting officers that the next time he was in trouble, officers would have to

FROM 3a the trails to make them “more defined,” including getting help from Landis Public Works Department. “There’s still more work to do,” Freeze said. Crystal Karriker, who is on the YMCA board of managers and has volunteered hours helping to clear trails, talked to the board about an event they’ve been planning for September called Down & Dirty Adventure Run. The event is a 4-mile run with obstacle courses, some in the mud. She said events like this are up and coming in the sports world. There are similar events like this in other parts of North Carolina and beyond. Karriker participated in an adventure run in Atlanta called Muddy Buddy. The Down & Dirty event will feature two-person and four-person teams as well as JROTC teams of four members. Children as young as 5 can participate in a Dirt Dobber Kids Fun Run.

In other business The Landis Board of Aldermen also: • Called for a public hearing in March to hear from people in favor or opposed to three recently annexed properties to discuss zoning recommendations. The board first discussed annexing the properties at its November meeting and held a public hearing for the annexation the following month. All of the initial annexations requests were made via petition by the property owners. The first property is 1.568 acres near the intersection of Highland Avenue and Airport Road, which is owned by Gary Moss. The property is divided into three sections — part is in Landis, Rowan County and Kannapolis. The owner asked in November that all parcels be included in the Landis town limits. The second property is .18 acres at North Main Street and North Central Avenue, which the town owns. The property was donated a number of years ago by Bob Phillips. The third property sits at West Round Street and South Valley Street. The property, which is 1.6 acres, is partially in Landis and Kannapolis and is owned by Terry Griggs. • Issued a reminder of its budget retreat. The retreat is set for March 12 at 9 a.m.- 3 p.m. at town hall, 312 S. Main St.

Kannapolis Fire Department receives $368K in FEMA grant The Kannapolis Fire Department has been awarded a $368,820 grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to replace its records-management system, as well as install mobile data terminals in all apparatus and vehicles. The city will match $40,980, bringing the total investment in new equipment and software to $409,800. The new records-management software will better integrate with the software used by the Kannapolis Police Department. The mobile data terminals also help enhance communication between fire apparatus, police vehicles and the 911-dispatch center. “Having new records management software and mobile data system will improve firefighter knowledge in the field tremendously,”
said Kannapolis Fire Chief Ernie Hiers. “When fire personnel leave the station, they also leave behind their database of information. By implementing this system, the fire personnel carry this wealth of knowledge with them.” These technological improvements will improve the fire department’s response times and will reduce the verbal communications between dispatchers and rescuers. This will enable fire offices with the KFD to concentrate more on strategies and tactics and less on maps and radio communication. The FEMA grant comes out of the Assistance to Firefighter’s Grant program. The KFD has used this program in the past to help fund the creation of a hazardous-materials team.
$1M MegaMillions lottery ticket unclaimed Mega Millions players in North Carolina, especially those in the Charlotte area, should double-check tickets to see if they are the winner of an unclaimed $1 million prize. The ticket was bought for the Mega Millions drawing on Aug. 20 and will expire on Wednesday, Feb. 16. The ticket was purchased at the Market Express, located at 2800 Old Monroe Road in Matthews in Mecklenburg County. It matched five white balls in the drawing. The five white balls for that drawing were: 4–13–20–29–48 To claim the $1 million prize, the ticket must be presented at N.C. Education Lottery headquarters in Raleigh by 5 p.m. on Feb. 16. Players have 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prize. The North Carolina Education Lottery made its second transfer of lottery revenues to the state for fiscal year 2011, transferring a total of $124.3 million on Jan. 25. Most of the money,
$102 million, was transferred to the State Education Lottery Fund to support the education initiatives that the lottery serves, including teacher salaries for grades K-3, school construction projects, the More at Four preschool program for atrisk 4-year-olds and college scholarships based on financial need.

AUDIT FROM 3a some positive things happening here in East Spencer.” Also at Monday’s meeting, aldermen: • Heard from Patrick Kennerly of SalisburyRowan Utilities about its utility billing arrangement with the town. Kennerly said part of why water bills have been so high in East Spencer is because of leaky pipes in the system. The town is charged for the lost water, and that cost is passed on to residents. But recent repairs made to the system have begun to reduce the amount of leakage, he said. Johnson said she knows residents are concerned about their water bills, and the town is working on bringing them down. • Discussed with Town Attorney Jeff Morris the ad-

In addition to the race, there will be camping opportunities, a kayak race later that same day and possibly a bonfire or move night. The Saturday event will be a grand opening. “We’ve been excited since it started. People around us are getting excited,” she said. Interest in the trails and bridge access to the lake has increased, she said. Town Attorney Rick Locklear expressed concern over some exposed roots on the trails. He asked if there was a plan to eliminate some roots so that it wouldn’t harm the trees. Karriker and Freeze told him they are working on some of the roots, but that these are the types of trails runners, including the school’s cross country teams, run and hike on. “We can take out some entrenched roots,” Freeze said. He added that some of the roots have been exposed because of four-wheeler riders. Four-wheelers are not allowed on the trails as are all other motorized vehicles.

Meet Patriot Guard Riders This is an excerpt from “Military Mom,” a community blog by Shelia Shue Sammons about the day-to-day issues of being a military family. Her son is serving in the Navy. n several blogs I have mentioned the Patriot Guard Riders; I would like to tell you a little more about them. They are a fairly young organization, many folks view them as just a “bunch of bikers” who wear leather, are tattooed and ride around on motorcycles; this, however, is far from the truth. How did it all begin? It all started back in early August of 2005 with the American Legion Riders Chapter 136 from Kansas. They were appalled to hear that a fallen hero’s memory was being tarSHELIA SHUE nished by a religious group SAMMONS who was protesting at military funerals. Members were appointed, a committee was formed and a battle plan put in place to combat Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church. When they heard that the WBC was going to protest at the funeral of Sgt. John Doles in Chelsea, Okla., they established a mission statement, which included getting the families’ permission and contacting law enforcement and other motorcycle groups in Oklahoma. They agreed that their ultimate goal was to get veterans and motorcycle organizations involved in every state so that each state could handle the situation internally and not rely on other states to do the job. They were very successful in mustering riders to honor Sgt. Doles and limiting the intrusion by the WBC. I don’t usually discuss religion; everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and customs. My son and many before him fight for our freedoms; religion is one of those freedoms. Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church, however, are unlike any Baptist church I have ever had knowledge of. They picket funerals of fallen military, holding signs that say, “God Bless IED’S,” “Thank GOD for Crippled Soldiers.” The military is not the only group they picket. They boast on their website, their picket count has now reached 45,034 to date. They also have a banner that reads, “GOD sent the shooter to Arizona.” They are entitled to their beliefs, as I am entitled to mine. I will boldly say I think anyone who would target a funeral of any kind and chant and sing, while holding very hurtful signs, purposely bringing more hurt to a family who is already suffering so greatly, needs to step back and take a long hard look at themselves. I will also say that I think they totally overlooked the scripture in the Bible that says…..JUDGE NOT! If you read up on the Patriot Guard Riders, you will find articles on how they shielded the families from the protestors, many times with their flags and bodies and, yes, sometimes by pulling their motorcycles up, revving up their motors and drowning their songs and chants out. It is the practice of the Patriot Guard not to communicate with the protestors; this would simply bring more hurtful remarks, so they just simply block them. They do not get paid to do this; every mission they undertake is out of their own pockets. If there is a death, they respect the family’s wishes. If the family wants them, they will be there! Do you have to have a motorcycle to be a part of the PGR? The answer is no. You can arrive in your “cage” as my little buddy CHEWY says, which by the way means your vehicle. Also you don’t have to have long hair, wear leather or have a tattoo; many of the PGR don’t. That is a big misconception! You do, however, have to abide by the code, which is being respectful, follow the family’s wishes and most of all have a patriotic heart. Folks need to realize the motorcycle rider is much like the American cowboy. The leather pants worn by the bikers are much like the chaps the cowboys wear. The bandanna around the neck basically serves the same purpose for the motorcycle rider and the horseback rider. So why is the biker judged so by his clothing? I have never understood this.

Spc. michael Hill of Salisbury, center, kneels with other members of his squad in the temporary mess hall in northern Iraq. Hill received many care packages from Salisbury around Christmas that he shared with others. ‘It really means a lot,’ he says.
From Iraq, with thanks Salisbury soldier says troops grateful for support BY ELIZABETH COOK ecook@salisburypost.com
ore than 6,400 miles away in Al-Guwair, Iraq, U.S. Army Sgt. Michael Hill knows people back home in Salisbury have not forgotten him or other members of the Armed Forces. He has scores of letters and care packages as proof. Home recently for a twoweek leave, Michael made a trip to the Post to express his gratitude. He was listed last year in Letters from Home, a Salisbury Post feature that included addresses of more than a dozen local members of the military serving far from home at Christmas. “Between the packages and letters for Christmas, I don’t know how I’m going to thank everyone,” Michael says. He holds up his fingers to indicate the size of a stack of letters — 6 inches thick. So consider this a thank-you from Sergeant Hill and the members of his unit, who also benefited from the bounty. The support from home means a lot, Michael says. He heard from people he didn’t know and people he hadn’t heard from in a long time. He even heard from his sixth-grade technology teacher, Leigh Graham, he said. “They really do make it easier on us when we know we’ve got support back home.” People sent food and snacks, knitted toboggans, hand warmers, homemade cookies and canned goods. He shared with everyone, in-
M
cluding some of the Iraqis. “They don’t have the things we have,” Michael says. “ They’re very appreciative.” Someone sent him a Snoopy that played “Jingle Bells,” which he gave to an Iraqi soldier and told him to give it to his children. “He cried when I gave him that,” Michael says. The 25-year-old has been in the Army almost four years and says it’s been his passion since Hill stands guard at his base. He would like to serve in Afghanistan second grade. He is the son of also, he says. ‘That’s where the fight is.’ Randy and Terri Hill. His dad, uncle and granddad all served in the Army. “He always played Army,” mother Terri says. And she has supported that dream, sending him home-baked cookies and supplies and suggesting the Post publish his and other soldiers’ addresses. Americans need to support their troops year-round, she says. This is Michael’s second tour of duty in Iraq; he’s in Bravo Company in the 1st Calvary Division. With sights set on a military career, he would like to go to Afghanistan or Special Forces. “That’s my job, that’s where the fight is,” Michael says. “Gosh — oh, law,” Terri says, tears coming to her eyes. Hill shares a smoke with two Kurdish soldiers, called ‘PeshGoing to war affects the men merga’ or ‘those who face death.’ U.S. troops work with the and women in uniform who Peshmerga and Iraqi soldiers and police. serve the United States — and their families, too.

A Carson High School student suffered minor injuries in a wreck on her way to school Monday morning, the N.C. State Highway Patrol reported. Deanna N. Reiniger, 16, was treated at Carolinas Medical Center-NorthEast in Concord. Reiniger was driving her Toyota Corolla east on N.C. 152 about 7:15 a.m. when she rear-ended a Nissan Pathfinder, pushing that vehicle into a Mustang, Trooper C.M. Agner reported. Reiniger’s car sustained extensive damage to the front end, and Reiniger’s air bags inflated in the wreck, Agner said. Heavy damage was reported to the Pathfinder, driven by Peter Vaeth, 18, and light rear-bumper damage was reported to the Mustang, driven by Shelby Pregler, 19. Vaeth and Pregler were not injured badly enough to be taken to the hospital, Agner said. The three-car accident happened in a 45 mph school zone several hundred feet from the entrance to Carson High School. Rieniger was cited for failure to reduce speed.
DENVER (AP) — Catawba County sheriff’s deputies are investigating the deaths of three people found in a home near the Denver community. Investigators think a man shot and killed his wife and their 14-year-old daughter before killing himself. The victims were identified as Ricky Wheeler, his wife, Angela, and daughter, Samantha. Deputies responding to a 911 hang-up call from the home looked through a window and saw the couple on the floor. Officials say Ricky Wheeler and Samantha Wheeler were pronounced dead at the scene. Angela Wheeler was taken to Carolinas Medical Center where she later died. Deputies say there were indications of an argument. Several counselors were at Mill Creek Middle School on Monday, where Samantha Wheeler was a student.
Fire burns family out of apartment CONCORD — The Concord Fire and Life Safety Department responded to an apartment fire on Lincoln Street Sunday at noon. One adult and four children escape without injuries. When firefighters arrived at 322 Lincoln St., there was heavy smoke. Firefighters had the fire under control within 10 minutes, a press release said. Six fire units responded with a total 23 fire personnel. The estimated damage to the structure was $25,000. The occupants of the apartment are receiving assistance from the American Red Cross. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina is already getting noticed for making the delivery of health care more efficient, but more innovation is needed so the state’s aging population lives healthier and longer, Gov. Beverly Perdue said Monday at a forum organized by political mentor Jim Hunt. Speaking on the first day of the annual Emerging Issues Forum at the Raleigh Convention Center, the Democratic governor said the state must be prepared as graying baby boomers age and out-of-state residents move to North Carolina for retirement. Seventy-one of North Carolina’s 100 counties will have more people over 60 than those under 17 by 2030, compared to just 37 counties today, she said. “That is a huge, huge demographic and social shift for North Carolina,” Perdue told a luncheon crowd. She said the debate on how best to provide health care, particularly treatment of chronic disease, won’t go away. “It pushes our health care to the limits if you have hypertension, diabetes, strokes, heart disease — the top killers in North Carolina — you see them in the senior population.” Perdue talked about efforts to reduce the morbidity rate among older citizens for longterm chronic disease, saying she and state Health and Human Services Secretary Lanier Cansler can point out $1.5 billion in the state budget for such treatment. On another health care development, the 2010 federal health care overhaul, Perdue told reporters after her speech she didn’t know whether she would veto a bill moving through the GOP-led Legislature that attempts to block a requirement in North Carolina that citizens buy health insurance or face a penalty.
HOUSE FROM 1a “I hope this teaches us a lesson to stay out of the real estate business,” Ford said, “and to get out of most of what we have now except for what we need.” Commissioner Jon Barber agreed, saying he has been wanting to bring up the issue in the board’s planning retreat, which was rescheduled for 1 p.m. Feb. 16. “We need to start thinking about a strategy of divesting ourselves of a lot of countyowned property that we really do not need,” Barber said. Chairman Chad Mitchell added, “we never had ‘landlord’ in the job description of the county manager.” Some of the oil also got into a well on the property, which Page said shouldn’t affect surrounding properties but would not be healthy for ten-
In the State Legislature Budget balancing: Republican legislation that seeks several hundred million dollars to help narrow a projected $3.7 billion gap for North Carolina’s budget next year has received final Senate approval. The Senate voted 31-16 in favor of a plan that directs Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue to locate at least $400 million in cost savings throughout state government. The measure also would take about $140 million from reserves and other pots of money. Democrats voting against the measure complained the bill takes $75 million from Perdue’s incentives programs and a tobacco trust fund at a time when government should encourage private-sector jobs. The chamber approved a Republican amendment that preserved $4.7 million sitting in a cancer research fund at UNC Hospitals. The bill now goes to the House. State of the State: Gov. Beverly Perdue is scheduled to deliver her biennial State of the State address to the North Carolina General Assembly on Valentine’s Day. Spokesmen for House Speaker Thom Tillis and Senate leader Phil Berger confirmed that Perdue will be invited to the Legislative Building for the speech at 7 p.m. Feb. 14. Perdue also mentioned the date at a speech in Raleigh. The governor also told attendees at the Emerging Issues Forum that she expected her two-year budget proposal would be released later next week. Governors usually provide some sneak peeks to their spending proposal in the speech. Introduced in the House: • H48, to reduce spending by eliminating statewide standardized testing inn the public schools except when it’s required by federal law or as a condition for a federal grant. Sponsors: Reps. Bryan Holloway, R-Stokes, and Hugh Blackwell, R-Burke. • H45, to allow the use of risk-based remediation to accelerate the cleanup of contaminated industrial sites to limit human and environmental exposure to safe levels. Sponsors: Reps. Mitch Gillespie, R-McDowell; Bill Cook, R-Beaufort; and Pryor Gibson, DAnson. Introduced in the Senate: • S41, a resolution commemorating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Ronald Reagan. Sponsor: Sen. David Rouzer, R-Johnston. Around the statehouse: North Carolina Boy Scouts were honored at the Legislative Building for providing more than 300,000 hours in service projects last year, well above the 100,000 hours the Scouts promised Gov. Beverly Perdue they would perform. The Boy Scouts presented their annual Report of the State at a news conference Monday morning. The House and Senate later Monday approved resolutions honoring their service and Tuesday’s 101st anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. Rep. Justin Burr, R-Stanly, and himself an Eagle Scout, presided over the House when the chamber approved its resolution. Associate Supreme Court Justice Paul Newby spoke from the House floor on behalf of the Scouts. On the agenda: • Several House Republicans will hold a news conference today to discuss a bill they’re filing that is designed to place new restrictions of repeat offenders for driving while impaired convictions. The measure is called “Laura’s Law,” named after a Gaston County teenager killed in a car accident last summer. A motorist charged in her death had multiple impaired driving convictions at the time of her death. • A Senate judiciary committee scheduled debate today on a House bill that attempts to block a requirement in the 2010 federal health care overhaul law North Carolina that citizens buy health insurance or face a penalty. The measure also would direct Attorney General Roy Cooper’s office to enter a lawsuit challenging the federal law. Overheard: “We’re creating uncertainty and precisely the wrong message when we should be creating certainty.” — Sen. Josh Stein, D-Wake, speaking in opposition to a Republican-penned bill that seeks to generate carry-over money for next year’s budget shortfall in part by taking money from a pair of economic incentives programs Stein said the measure would make it more difficult for Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue’s administration to recruit firms to North Carolina. ants there to use. The county has contracted with a third party consultant to perform groundwater tests for contamination and submit a report to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Page said the family who had rented the house from the county for years has been reimbursed for rent and relocated to a privately owned rental property. Also at Monday’s meeting, the board unanimously accepted an offer of about $84,800 by the Southern Preservation Co. for the old post office building at 110 West Innes St. The total 2010 value of the property is $88,000. The board voted in September to start the upset bid process by accepting an initial offer of $50,000, and the process has been ongoing until the final offer was received Jan. 7. “That’s one more piece of property off the county

N.C. HOUSE AND SENATE
Leadership Barbecue wars on agenda has its limits First lady reignites passionate pork debate
roposals to limit the terms of the state’s legislative leaders have some strong populist appeal, but the details could prove tricky. How short a leash should be imposed on the House speaker and Senate president pro tem, and should the limitation come through a change in the rules or by a constitutional amendment? Fulfilling a Republican campaign pledge, House Speaker Thom Tillis and Senate leader Phil Berger both say they favor capping the number of consecutive years someone can hold the top two posts. This comes after Democrat Marc Basnight served nearly 18 years as Senate president pro tem. Before pleading guilty to corruption, Jim Black served seven years as House speaker, although the Democrat shared power with co-speaker Richard Morgan during two of those years. Currently, both positions are elected at the beginning of each biennial session, serving for two years. The issue isn’t simply about tenure but the temptations of political power. While the speaker and president pro tem preside over legislative business and appoint committee members, the non-constitutional perks can be just as important. They typically wield considerable influence over party politics, including fundraising and campaign support. While there’s something to be said for continuity and familiarity with protocols and rules of order, limiting leadership terms would also limit the temptation to consolidate and abuse the power vested in key positions. “If people stay in power long enough they do things to just stay in power — even the best of us — and that’s the wrong reason to be doing things,” Jane Pinsky with the bipartisan North Carolina Coalition for Lobbying and Government Reform told the Associated Press. “Speaker Black did end up doing things strictly to stay in power, and that’s wrong.” As for what the limits should be, Berger previously has suggested a four-year term. Others have suggested eight, on par with the two terms a governor can serve. It’s worth noting that for most of the modern legislative era, until the mid-1970s, N.C. House speakers served only a single legislative session, and it was rare for a president pro tem to serve more than two terms. The legislature functioned just fine under that system. Although some have argued a constitutional amendment is the best way to make a permanent change, it’s much simpler for the two chambers to change the rules themselves, without a statewide referendum. Of course, an even better way to achieve the limits would be lasting political parity that prevents either party from treating leadership positions as their personal fiefdoms.

Moderately Confused
ichelle Obama was just trying to be nice. Nobody told her that saying something about barbecue in North Carolina always unleashes a bunch of crazy talk from a lot of people who have strong opinions. But only a few of them know what they are talking about. In case you missed it, Mrs. Obama made a short statement about Charlotte to mark the city’s selection as the site of the 2012 Democratic Convention: “Charlotte is a city marked by its Southern charm, warm hospitality and an ‘up by the bootstraps’ mentality that has propelled the city forward as one of the fastest-growing in the South. D.G. Vibrant, diverse and full of opMARTIN portunity, the Queen City is home to innovative, hardworking folks with big hearts and open minds. And of course, great barbecue.” It was that last line that got all the tongues wagging. There was a race to be the first to say that Mrs. Obama had it all wrong, because Charlotte, the critics assert, is not a barbecue town. Even the Charlotte Observer jumped in to respond, rudely to her, writing, “Huh?!?!” The Observer says that Mrs. Obama may “know a lot about haute cout[u]re in Chicago, but she doesn’t know hushpuppies about Charlotte’s culinary scene.” Not so fast. I am no barbecue expert. But I did find out a few things about our state’s favorite food doing research for “Interstate Eateries,” my little book about home cooking places near the big highways. First, there is a lot more to North Carolina barbecue than the Lexington and Eastern styles that you hear so much about. I love both kinds and would go out of my way to stop at Wilber’s in Goldsboro for the Eastern or Lexington #1 for classic Lexington style. But the Democratic visitors to Charlotte next year will not have to travel so far to get a variety of good pork cooked over smoking coals. In fact, the Old Hickory House Restaurant in Charlotte is one of the favorites I included in my book. As far back as I can re-
M
member, I have enjoyed watching and smelling the meat cooking on a brick oven inside the restaurant. Although the chopped red barbecue in heavy tomato sauce that they serve is not exactly Lexington style, the Old Hickory style is plenty good enough for Mrs. Obama to brag about. If some Democratic convention delegates and barbecue fans are still not satisfied with Charlotte’s offerings, they can find a wide variety of good eating just off the Interstates in the smaller towns that circle Charlotte. For instance, Lowell (Hillbilly’s), Gastonia (R.O.’s and Kyle Fletcher's), Mooresville (Lancaster’s), Statesville (Carolina), and China Grove (Gary’s and Porky’s). Here is another thing I learned: Most North Carolinians’ favorite barbecue is the kind of barbecue they grew up eating. It is for me, too. I grew up in Mecklenburg County and played football at North Meck with Tommy Oehler, whose dad made a name for himself cooking pigs for the Mallard Creek Church fundraising barbecue event each fall. Mr. J.W. Oehler Jr. also built a pretty good catering business on the side. I got to eat a lot of his product, but never enough. So for me the best barbecue in North Carolina is on the northeast side of Charlotte. On the fourth Thursday in October, every politician for miles around comes there to the Mallard Creek Church Barbecue just for the chance to shake hands with some of the more than 20,000 people who drop by to enjoy the fellowship and eat what they believe is Charlotte’s, North Carolina’s and the world’s best barbecue. If some of the Democratic convention visitors want to sample the product, they can contact Donnie Oehler (Tommy’s brother), who caters and hosts private parties in a big barn near the church’s barbecue site. Now that this argument is settled, North Carolinians can go back to debating less important things like school assignments and funding, the state budget crisis, health care, video poker and who has the best basketball team in the conference. • • • D.G.

Emily Ford’s Feb. 5, 2011, article on extending Rowan County Airport dismissed some important concerns. I would hope they will be addressed in the near future. While debilitated trailer parks and a line of duplex rentals, with even more under construction, straddle Airport Road, there are a couple of stable housing developments that have been around since the ’70s that may well suffer drastically to benefit Food Lion and a few other corporations ... and oh, yes, the county’s coffers.

Free speech takes a beating in Egypt EW YORK — The turmoil in Egypt has been a lesson in the fragility of a right we so often take for granted: To speak. It also has been a reminder to those who deride the “lamestream media” as the enemy, traitors and worse that many members of that maligned tribe are also very brave. A list of journalists who have been assaulted, beaten, harassed and arrested in Egypt since demonstrations began would consume the balance of this column. They include attacks on CNN’s Anderson Cooper, KATHLEEN as well as reporters and photographers from Fox PARKER News, The Washington Post, The New York Times and numerous other publications and broadcast organizations from around the world. The attacks have been well-organized and strategic, suggesting something more than an organic eruption from the street. The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), founded in 1981 to protect press freedom and journalists, has added its voice to those asserting that the attacks were arranged by Hosni Mubarak’s government. Mohamed Abdel Dayem, CPJ’s Middle East and North Africa program coordinator, reported Wednesday that “the Egyptian government is employing a strategy of eliminating witnesses to their actions. The government has resorted to blanket censorship, intimidation, and today a series of deliberate attacks on journalists carried out by pro-government mobs. The situation is frightening not only because our colleagues are suffering abuse but because when the press is kept from reporting, we lose an independent source of crucial information.” Outrage that journalists are being targeted has been appropriately expressed by various heads of state, including President Obama. Attacks on journalists are nothing

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Associated Press photographer Khalil Hamra holds his head after being injured during clashes between anti-government demonstrators and their pro-government supporters in Cairo last week. new. Five have been killed already this year, including one Friday in Cairo. Since 1992, 850 have died in the line of duty. Of those, more than 500 were murdered with impunity, according to CPJ. Another 145 journalists are in prison worldwide for the offense of reporting. What is new to most eyes are these real-time attacks on people we know. Watching Katie Couric being harassed and shoved by a crowd of angry men in Cairo was especially jarring. Our little Katie? Make no mistake. Perky Katie is also brave Katie. For journalists, there’s no adrenaline rush like Being There. There’s something in the constitution of those who sign up for Journalism 101 that makes them want to be part of the action but also to do something of value. The bias so many recognize in the media is, among other things, a bias toward the underdog, whether that’s an unwed mother or an oppressed people. That government thugs want to silence reporters in Egypt is understandable. The camera is focused on the powerless masses who want to unseat their
pharaoh. This is to say that those reporters who put their boots on the ground go willingly. I’d wager that every reporter confined to a cubicle at this moment wishes he or she were there, even if they are also quietly grateful to be safe. It isn’t only to be where the action is but also to bear witness to history and to the eternal human struggle to be free. It is rare to get to see our constitutional rights (and responsibilities) so starkly displayed or to have the courage of our convictions tested, if only vicariously. The Egyptian people are brave, too, but it is their fight. Another lesson: Democracies have to emerge from the passions of their own constituents. Freedom may be God-given, but, like life, it has a gestation period and is usually born with much pain. Afterward comes nurturing through the conscientious exercise of human will and institutions yet to be conceived. Fundamental to this process, as our own founding fathers understood, is the freedom to gather and to express oneself. Every day we tolerate posers, pundits and porn along with klanners, clowns and clambering ninnies for the greater good of a free society where no one gets his head bashed for speaking truth to power. Not so lucky are the hundreds or thousands of Egyptians who have suffered blows (or death) as they have sought their own route to liberty. Reporting from Cairo, New York Times columnist Nicholas D. Kristof tells of a carpenter named Mahmood who had needed medical treatment seven times in 24 hours. His arm was in a sling, his leg in a cast, and his head was bandaged. He was going back for more. Kristof was “awestruck” when Mahmood told him: “I’ll fight as long as I can.” We should all be so awed — not only by the Mahmoods, but also by the Kristofs. • • • Kathleen Parker’s e-mail address is kathleenparker@washpost.com.

How not to get stuck with student loans pay student debt after you graduate. • The minute you sign that student loan, begin to make monthly interest payments. Yes, I know you are not required to make any payments until six months after you graduate, but that is the foolish way to go. Unless you have a subsidized loan (rare these days), interest begins to accrue the minute you sign the paper. When you’re not paying, that accrued interest is added to the principal, so next month you’ll be accruing interest on the interest. That is called “compounding,â€? and it’s a killer when you are the borrower. I think the word “avalancheâ€? should give you a visual illustration of what can happen. By making the small interest payments from the get-go, you’ll keep things under control. • The minute you graduate, begin making your scheduled payments. Don’t wait for six months, and do not look into forbearance or deferment, even if you think you might qualify. Delaying only makes the pain of repayment
worse. Infinitely worse. Come up with your own three-year payment plan, not the lender’s 30-year plan. • Do not buy a new car. Do not rent a fancy apartment. Do not do anything that would increase your debt load while you are carrying student debt. Do not believe you are entitled to a life of ease because you’ve just spent four years as a starving college student. You are not. In fact, you may need to consider moving back home to keep your cost of living low. Once freed of the debt, you’ll be able to get on with your life. If this all sounds scary, consider this alternative before you start borrowing money to pay for college: Opt for community college for the first two years. You’ll get the same basic general education courses that you’d take at a university, but for a fraction of the cost. Work as much as you can in those first two years to save up to pay for your last two years at a fouryear college or university. That’s how you avoid student loans for life.
Dear Amy: I’m 25 years old, and I’ve happily been with my boyfriend for the last six years. We moved in together last February and took on a roommate. Originally, it was to be my partner and me, but the third person needed some roommates. I knew she was a lonely character before we signed our leases, but we had a lot in common and got along great. T h i n g s have changed (surprise). She is very ASK needy and has AMY formed a dependency on my boyfriend that has strained my relationship with him. Before this, most of our arguments consisted of minor bickering, but we were pretty open with one another. What can I do? I’ve tried speaking to him, but it usually turns into a shouting match in which he accuses me of jealousy and insecurity. Please help. I’m beginning to feel like the third wheel in my own relationship. — Lonely Girlfriend Dear Lonely: In interpersonal relationships, the triangle is the most challenging dynamic. The relationship with your boyfriend should be the primary relationship for both of you. Your roommate’s loneliness and neediness should be your shared and mutual annoyance. If this roommate gloms on
to your boyfriend, your status as third wheel will change if you take an active role in establishing some primacy. What I’m suggesting is that you will feel a lot better if you tell her, directly and simply, to take a step back. Dear Amy: A recent letter in your column about disclosing a past relationship has prompted me to finally broach this sensitive topic. I am 62 years old. My husband died 13 years ago. After his death I entered into a relationship and was left with an STD (herpes), which I have now had for 10 years. At this time in my life I feel I would like to have a relationship. I would like to spend my golden years with someone. My best friend and my doctor tell me that a person should disclose the STD only after love is very apparent and, of course, before sex occurs. I have been looking at singles websites, and some profiles come right out and say “no STDs.� Surely the protocol hasn’t changed where you are expected to disclose an STD right upfront — has it? I am mortified about this idea, as no one else knows my secret but also petrified to start a relationship knowing I have “terrible� news to share eventually. Please help me. — Alone but Alive Still Dear Alone: You should disclose your STD before — but not immediately before — you intend to have sex. This is not the sort of thing you should talk about when you are feeling sexual, but when you are
thinking sexual. If you find someone you are interested in creating a romantic and sexual future with, this is a conversation best held after you’ve established a trusting bond, when you are both disclosing your intimate histories. This news is not “terrible.� It is what it is. According to the CDC, an estimated 20 percent of Americans have the contagious virus that causes herpes. Any sexual partner must wear a condom. Dear Amy: “Sad Wife� expressed frustration that she couldn’t talk to her husband about serious topics. My husband and I also find serious discussions difficult. At home we have too many distractions. Sometimes we just get to the point where we are out of touch with each other. Our solution is to go for a drive. We’re in the car, eyes on the road or scenery, and talking becomes non-confrontational. Sometimes the drive lasts a few hours, a few times for a couple of days. (I carry overnight stuff in the trunk.) It’s worked for us for 35 years. Taking a long walk together works too! — Happily Talking Dear Talking: I completely agree with this technique. The idea is to be intentional and to place yourself in a context where you aren’t confronting one another. This also works very well for talking with kids.

Every fire department in the county participates in the medical responder program, which allows trained members of the department to provide medical assistance. “They act as an arm of the county’s EMS system,� Thomason said. “Getting a qualified responder with proper training, basic life support equipment and medication to the scene — prior to the arrival of an advanced life support paramedic — does play a very important role.� Thomason said this is the first time in his six-year tenure that emergency services has called for this kind of suspension. In order to provide medical responder service again, the fire department must repair, replace and restock supplies as needed and pass another inspection.

There’s a lot of misunderstanding going on when it comes to student loans. Mostly, I believe, it’s because 18-year-olds starting out their college careers in the financial aid office are naive, believing that somehow they’ll MARY make so much HUNT money upon graduation that repayment will be both quick and easy. If I could meet with these students and their parents before they start taking on student loans, here’s what I would advise: • Borrow the very least you absolutely need to squeak by, not the most. Stick with federal loans, not private education loans. That means getting a job, maybe two, while you are in college so that as much as possible, you are paying as you go. This may be hard. Really hard. But that will be child’s play compared with how hard it will be to re-

Big snow totals bring big bills
POWER FROM 1a
ASHEVILLE (AP) — Snow has been piling up in western North Carolina this winter. So have the bills for removing the snow. The Asheville CitizenTimes reported Monday that the state of North Carolina has spent more than $9 million in snow removal and the treatment of roads in the 17 counties in the western part of the state. That’s from a total of $31 million spent across the state. Local governments have also spent plenty to deal with the roads and remove the snow. Mark Combs with the public works department in Black Mountain says the town will be hurting financially when the next snow storm hits the area. The town already has spent more than $35,000 since Christmas. Asheville has spent more than $250,000 on snow removal, road treatment and preparing for the next storm.

That alone has saved him about $2,400 each winter, while producing no greenhouse gases. Though the furnace cost about $3,200 at the time, Clifton said it’s been worth the cash. “It is 100 percent paid back,” he said. “And we are still using it.” Clifton also installed thermal collectors on his roof last July to heat his water supply, which saves about $30 a month. The tubes in the solar collectors, made by Virginiabased Solar Panels Plus, and the solar water tank for it cost about $7,000, but 65 percent — $4,550 — was recovered through state and federal tax credits. “For somebody just starting out this is very cost effective,” he said. Clifton said in comparison a new energy saving heat pump water tank would cost about $1,500. “And you still have to pay for electricity,” he said. Adding solar panels Clifton decided to add solar panels to the mix after reading about micro-inverters in the Wall Street Jour-
nal. After doing some research, Clifton learned that the micro-inverters cost $200 a piece, a fraction of the cost of a standard inverter that typically has a pricetag of about $4,000. Micro-inverters are guaranteed to last 119 years, while standard inverters need to be replaced every five years or so. “This is really game changing technology,” he said. Before installing his own photovoltaic system, Clifton had to receive approval from Duke Energy. “You’ve got to be driven to do it,” Clifton said of all the steps that must be completed before installation can begin. Clifton chose a net metering system that provides energy for his home and any excess energy is delivered to the grid, where it can the power generated by a home system can be used to offset the monthly bill. Another option is interconnecting a solar-power system back into a grid, which is then outright purchased by Duke Energy. Clifton said he opted for net metering because the excess energy can be carried over to the next
month, which he considers more cost effective. “The idea is to never make more than you use,” he said.

Packers come home champs BY TODD RICHMOND Associated Press
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Thousands of exhausted but euphoric Packers fans welcomed their cherished team home to Green Bay as Super Bowl champions on Monday after a nail-biting victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Schools dismissed early and people took time off work to watch the team’s motorcade travel from Austin Straubel International Airport to Lambeau Field along a route that included Lombardi Avenue, named in honor of the legendary Packers coach Vince Lombardi. Fans who spent Sunday night partying picked up right where they left off Monday morning, showing up hours earAssociAted Press ly for the parade. They jammed LamGreen Bay fans shovel snow in anticipation of the party they beau’s atrium and clogged the stadium’s threw for their beloved Packers. pro shop as they bought piles of Super
Bowl gear and memorabilia. To make room, the team finally had to herd shoppers and visitors into a line that stretched outside the stadium. Ashley Ellis, 17, and Erica Christensen, 18, of Oak Creek, went to bed at midnight after celebrating the victory. They were up at 4 a.m. to drive to Green Bay and stake out a spot for the parade. They said the Packers gave them “anxiety attacks” as the Steelers made their second-half comeback, but on Monday all was right with the world in Green Bay. Asked why anyone would get up at 4 a.m. to visit a football stadium, Christensen replied simply. “Love them,” she said. By early afternoon throngs of fans in cheeseheads, green and gold beads, jerseys and Packer parkas jammed the team’s route, transforming the streets into human trenches.
A house across the street from the stadium — Lambeau Field famously sits in the middle of a residential neighborhood — blared Queen’s “We Are The Champions.” Fans broke out in spontaneous chants of “Go Pack Go!” and “The Bears Still Suck!,” and mugged for television news crews. The crowd’s cheers rose to a roar as the team’s buses neared the stadium. News helicopters buzzed overhead. Players and other team officials could be seen holding up video cameras from their seats, recording the moment. Craig Umentum, 29, of Green Bay, dragged a green-and-gold wagon loaded with a case of beer to the stadium. “The title is home, baby!” Umentum yelled, his voice still hoarse from screaming during Sunday night’s game. “Whoo! Where it belongs! Green Bay, baby!”

Tough loss for Carson
East boys defeated
BY RONNIE GALLAGHER rgallagher@salisburypost.com CHINA GROVE — EveryW. Iredell 58 o n e 56 loves to Carson watch Carson’s Nick Houston shoot, but it was the shot he didn’t take the crowd will remember from Monday night’s 58-56 loss to West Iredell. T h e Carson s t a r drove the ball down the right in side the final seconds with the HOUSTON Cougars down by two points. He saw 6-foot4 Zach Follrod in his way and tried a pass that was batted away as the clock ran out. And with that pass, Carson had suffered its second close NPC loss to West Iredell in four days. “That’s a tough way to end the game,” lamented Carson coach Brian Perry. “We wanted Nick to get the ball and have an opportunity to tie the game. We wanted him to shoot, but if help came, dump it down.” After taking the inbounds pass and going the length of the court, the 6foot-3 Houston was hindered just enough by the 6-4 Follrod. West coach Benjamin Johnson watched Houston and said, “You hold your breath. We knew we couldn’t let him set his feet. If he sets them, it’s automatic. We knew there would be a lot of screens.” It was appropriate that Follrod and Houston were involved on the last play. The last time they hooked up, Houston won the scoring battle 37-36. Tonight, Follrod won it, 24-22. The victory wrapped up third for West (12-8, 7-4) while Carson will open the tournament as the fourth seed. But it has been a year-long test for the Warriors. “We’ve been in these constant battles,” Johnson sighed. West was in another one on Monday from the start. Carson began strong defensively, holding the Warriors to only eight first-quarter points. Follrod got heated up in the second quarter, scoring 11. West was 10 of 11 from the foul line and

GRANITE QUARRY — It was raining N. Iredell 55 outside its E. Rowan 52 gym, but nothing else seemed to be falling at East Rowan Tuesday night. Although the Mustangs hung within striking disance for the game’s entirety, they shot 10 of 29 from the field in the first half and couldn’t complete a second-half surge in a 55-52 defeat at the hands of North Iredell. North hit just 3 of 10 free throws in the final 1:02 to let East hope for its elusive second victory, but the Mustangs could only muster a full-court heave at the buzzer that missed everything. East slashed its deficit to a point in the closing minutes, but couldn’t grasp the visiting Raiders, who left town with a key 3A North Piedmont Conference victory. North pulled within a game of Carson, who fell to West Iredell, for the league’s fourth spot. “We played well in spurts,” North coach Tony Davenport said. “A couple of times we got lazy defensively and left them open for 3-pointers.

South loses BY DAVID SHAW dshaw@salisburypost.com
LANDIS — Another night of nearStatesville 79 misses and S. Rowan 63 m i g h t have-beens brought South Rowan’s boys basketball team back to earth on Monday. The Raiders never quite matched up with visiting Statesville in a 79-63 NPC loss to the conference leader. “There are five conference games that you could sit here and say we should have won,” coach John Davis said after South (5-15, 2-8) failed in its bid to knock off a second straight league foe. “Any game that’s decided by five points or less could’ve gone either way.

Meanwhile, East only hit 20- of-61 field goals for the game. “They were knocking down some shots early,” East coach Trey Ledbetter said. “We’re getting great looks, the shots just aren’t falling. We had some really good matchups tonight too.”

were in position to finish third or fourth, but now we’ll have to win the conference tournament to make the state playoffs.” Despite the loss South had to be encouraged by its early feistiness and the emergence of senior guard Johnathan Gaddy. “That was a whole lot of Johnathan Gaddy,” winning coach Sonny Schofield said after Statesville (16-4, 11-0) inched closer to an unblemished conference season. “He is really coming into his own. He’s much-improved and very hard to defend.” Gaddy scored a careerhigh 33 points — more than half the Raiders’ total — and drew raves from all directions.

ALBEMARLE — North Rowan’s march to the 2A state champiAlbemarle 79 onship 25 years ago inN. Rowan 76 cluded a monumental win against a great Albemarle squad in the Western Regional final. That Albemarle team that lost to the towering 1986 Cavaliers in the regional included two Childress brothers. Albemarle freshman Gregory Childress got a little payback for his father and uncle on Monday. He went 17-for-18 from the foul line and scored 24 points as the Bulldogs took a heated 79-76 overtime decision against the visiting Cavaliers, who left the packed gym frustrated and fuming. Jordan Kimber put up a contested 3point shot with five seconds left in the OT. He missed but North got the rebound and kicked the ball back out. Amani Bates had a clean look to force a second overtime, but the ball didn’t drop. “I thought it was in,” Bates said, shaking his head. “Just a little bit short.” Albemarle’s bitterly contested win avenged a recent setback in Spencer and left the rivals tied atop the YVC standings with 12-2 records.
Albemarle shot 46 free throws. North took just 10 foul shots in regulation before Kimber got to the line frequently in overtime. “Never seen so many fouls in my life,” North bruiser Javon Hargrave said. “You really didn’t know how to play. Every KIMBER time we tried to ‘D’ them up, it was foul, foul, foul.” Albemarle coach Al Andrew wasn’t apologizing for shooting free throws. “Forty-six of them means we did a good job on offense,” he said. “Our guys did a good job of getting the ball into Childress’ hands. He’s a guy we want BATES shooting free throws in a close game.” Childress shot a lot of his freebies in high-stress, noisy situations, but they were automatic. He may as well have been in the gym by himself practicing on a quiet Sunday afternoon. “Gregory’s got two things working

South girls rout Hounds BY DAVID SHAW dshaw@salisburypost.com
LANDIS — South Rowan kicked off S. Rowan 55 F i n a l s Statesville 23 Week by acing its first exam. The Raiders whipped visiting Statesville 55-23 in the first of three now-or-never, must-have games that wrap up their NPC regular-season. “I told them before we came out, ‘We’ve got three games, we need three wins and we get third place,’” coach Jarrod Smith said after South (8-11 overall) squared its league record at 5-5. “That’s a big deal for us considering where we were last year.” The Raiders are contending because they’ve won two of their last three NPC games. This one came on a night when leading scorer Nicole Barringer was welldefensed and limited to five points.

Miller said. “This was much better.” South held Statesville without a field goal in the first quarter and built a 23-10 halftime edge thanks to a pair of last-minute layups by Gaddy. The shot-of-the-game came when Miller buried a 3ball from the top of the key as the third period expired, providing a 35-16 cushion. “I knew time was running out,” she said, flashing a broad, post-game smile. “When I saw it was down to two seconds left I just put it up.” South next faces East Rowan, a team it beat 56-47 in January, on Wednesday. “If we play smart like we did tonight,” Gaddy said, “that game is ours.” STATESVILLE (23) — Crosswhite 6, Wilkins 4, B.Bradley 4, McCord 3, Witt 3, C.Bradley 2, McKinney 1.

“We did a decent job on Barringer,” SHS coach Todd Jones said after the w i n l e s s Greyhounds (0-11 NPC) MILLER suffered 20th their loss. “And we went to a boxand-1 on (Lauren Miller) and (Kaitlyn Jones) up top, but that only worked for a while.” Miller drained four threepointers and scored 12 points for the Raiders. Jones helped quarterback the offense while sophomore Maria Gaddy matched her season-high with 12 points. “This game was all about teammwork,” said Gaddy. “They tried to shut Nicole down. We had to find another way.” South had only 12 turnovers, a glaring improvement over some of its recent showing. “We’ve been struggling to control the ball,”
CHINA GROVE — Allison BlackCarson 85 well made a W. Iredell 31 vow to herself about two weeks ago, according to Carson coach Brooke Miseheimer. “She has just been mentally tougher the last three games,” Misenheimer said after Carson’s easy 85-31 win over West Iredell on Monday. “This is the right time of year to play like that.” Blackwell finished with 17, 10 in the first quarter. She has averaged 19 points over the last three games. She put up the first five points of the third quarter and her scoring was done. But the Cougars (16-5, 10-2)
have plenty of other point producers. W e s t Iredell coach Phil Fox even noted that afterward. “ T h e y BLACKWELL shoot the ball really well,” he said. “And they rotate the ball.” Everyone who played scored, from Chloe Monroe, who led the Cougars with 21, to Kelly Dulkoksi, who had 16, down to Jordy Clark and Aimee Cloninger, who combined for 13 points. Cloninger didn’t even play last year but managed six points. Clark, a whirling dervish, was all over the place, creating havoc on defense and scoring seven.
“Aimee just competes,” Misenheimer said. “We always know (Clark) is going to play hard.” Blackwell started a 27-7 run in the third quarter and Monroe scored the first eight of the fourth for a 45-point lead at 69-44 over the Warriors (3-16, 2-9). Even with the subs in during the final eight minutes, Carson still managed 21 points. “We’ve tried to be more diverse on how we score,” Misenheimer said. “That’s our strength. We can score.” Especially when they’re all mentally tough. WEST IREDELL (31) — Ellis 8, Gatton 6, Gaines 6, Ijames 4, Sigmon 4, Marshall 3.

Sells wins it for North girls BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
ALBEMARLE — North Rowan girls N. Rowan 53 coach Tony Albemarle 51 H i l l i a n couldn’t watch the Super Bowl because he was so worried about his team’s game at Albemarle on Monday. As it turned out, Hillian had his Super Bowl after all. He was high-fiving the world after North stunned the Bulldogs 53-51 for its fourth straight YVC victory. “We showed up and we played,” a jubilant Hillian said. “Hit on all cylinders.”
Teaunna Cuthbertson and Taylor Sells scored 13 each for the Cavs (813, 7-7), and JoJo Carby hit six rainSELLS bow free throws under pressure down the stretch. Down 24-15, North scored 11 straight to end the first half. When Ronesha Bradley and Tiffany Brown scored to open the second half, NR owned an amazing 15-0 run and a six-point lead. The Bulldogs (13-5, 11-3) had to chase a fast team the
rest of the way and lost star Paige McConlogue to five fouls with 3:38 remaining. AHS’ Akela Branch scored 12 of her 21 in the fourth quarter, but North held on. North could have been whistled for a technical for having six girls on the floor with Sells at the foul line with 6.7 seconds left but dodged that bullet. Sells’ free throws provided the deciding points. NORTH ROWAN (53) — Cuthbertson 13, Sells 13, Carby 10, Brown 7, Bradley 6, Miller 2, Vann 2, Bush. ALBEMARLE (51) — Branch 21, McConlogue 10, Freeman 5, Hooker 5, Locklear 2, Watkins 2, Potter 2. N. Rowan Albemarle

NORTH BOYS FROM 1B against him,” Andrew said. “He’s young and he’s slight of build. But he also works harder on his game than anyone I ever saw.” Terance Christian was the other hero for Albemarle, scoring 21 points and rebounding and defending like his hair was on fire. North (16-5) got 20 points from Kimber, including 12 in overtime. Freshman Michael Bowman put the Cavaliers on his back in a tense, fierce fourth quarter. “We gave all we had, played through all kinds of adversity on the road and still had a shot at the end,” North coach Andrew Mitchell. “We do a few small things better and we get out of here with a win. My guys can be proud of their effort.” Albemarle (15-3) began the game with the same 1-2-2 zone it used against the Cavs in Spencer, but North made 3s. Starks, Kimber and Michael Connor hit from long range in the first quarter. After that, Andrew threw every defense in the book at the talented Cavs — including a boxand-one focusing on Starks and a triangle-and-two to slow down Starks and Kimber. Albemarle shot 63 percent
SOUTH BOYS FROM 1B “He just decided to take the team on his back,” teammate Josh Medlin said. “If he wasn’t scoring he was dishing it off or making steals, trying to make something happen.” Gaddy had 10 points in the first quarter, helping South ramrod its way to a 19-13 lead. In the second period he scored on a stop-and-pop jumper from the right side and later on a floater in the lane as South kept the Greyhounds backpedaling. “It was a great feeling,” the 5foot-9 sniper said. “The way things were going, I thought we were going to beat them bad.” Schofield didn’t. When plans A and B failed to produce favorable results he switched to Plan P — for patience. “That’s all it took,” he said. “In the first quarter it was all Gaddy, leading them the way they needed to be led. And South was ready. But I was pleased with the way we waited to turn it into our game. We played with respect and never lost our confidence.” Statesville’s comeback began shortly after Mark McDaniel drove the left baseline for a layup and a 27-24 South lead with 3:32 remaining in the half. The guests finished the first half on a 10-2 run and were up five at the break. “How many shots did we miss inside, right around the rim?” Davis wondered afterward. “They were athletic enough and quick enough to beat in transition
GRANITE QUARRY — Fortunately N. Iredell 74 for East E. Rowan 41 R o w a n , N o r t h Iredell had a delayed reaction to its makeup date with the Mustangs on Monday. Unfortunately, the Raiders still woke up in plenty of time to remind their hosts why they were the No. 1-ranked 3A team in the state in a 7441 win in a road North Piedmont Conference contest. East, which trailed 21-4 after one quarter against North in their matchup last week, stayed within 14-12 after the opening eight minutes. However, North outscored East 41-16 in the next two quarters to pull away for its 17th straight victory. “We played them much tighter this time then we did at their house,” East coach Danielle Porter said. “Karleigh (Wike) was a lot more active in the paint for us.” North’s Deesa Singletary scored 21 points to lead all scorers. Wike sunk consecutive jumpers in the paint while being fouled in the final 1:14 of the first quarter to pull the Mustangs within two. East, who made 16 of 46 shots from the field, went scoreless in the opening 2:39 of the second quarter, allowing North (18-1, 11-0) to start an 8-0 run. “It was real sloppy in the first quarter,” North coach Tami Ramsey said. “We

The Raiders gave the death blow early in the third, embarking on a 20-2 run to start the half. East’s Steffi Sides was hit with an intentional foul while fighting for possession with North starter Lea James, who hit the floor hard at the end of the tussle. “From what I hear, she has
a concussion, so she’ll probably be out a week or so,” Ramsey said. Wike led East (6-13, 4-7) with 12 points. Emory Haynes and Brooke Redmond each scored 11 for North.

Bowman scored nine in the fourth quarter and hit the Cavs’ sixth 3-pointer of the night. North led 64-62 and had the ball with 35 seconds left, but Pierre Givens, missed a one-andone, and when Givens tried to help Starks trap Childress with 14 seconds left, Givens was called for a foul. Childress’ two free throws tied the game. Mitchell put the ball in the hands of Kimber to score or dish. Kimber beat his defender to get to the rim, but Christian took a charge to bring on overtime. Albemarle grabbed momentum early in the OT and kept it. Eleven of the Bulldogs’ 15 points in the extra session came on free throws by Childress. “Albemarle plays very physical,” Starks said. “To beat them, we have to play physical right back, but we couldn’t touch them.” NORTH ROWAN (76) — Kimber 20, Hargrave 10, Starks 10, Bowman 9, Ford 8, Connor 8, A.

Threepointers by Jarod Gill and Tyrone Lowery were MEDLIN daggers-in-theheart and speedboat Nick Schofield — the coach’s junior son — converted three straight runaway layups on his way to a 28-point night. “He plays hard,” Coach Schofield said. “I’ve just gotta keep his temper under control.” South drew as close as 61-51 when Gaddy knocked down the first of his two 3-balls in the fourth quarter. But Statesville never faltered, sinking nine of 12 free throws in the last 3:20.

East Rowan guard Roby Holmes starts a drive against North Iredell’s Ty Johnson.
EAST BOYS FROM 1B Weston Rogers hit a desperation 3 from the corner to pull East within 54-52 with six seconds left. North inbounded the ball at a leisurely pace to run time off and Nick Nolen hit one of two free throws with 0.4 remaining for the final margin. North was shaky from the foul line all evening, making just 14 of 28 from the charity stripe. “That’s been our nemesis this year,” said Davenport of free throws. We’ve struggled with that this year.” Jared Hough had 13 points for East, and drained a clutch trey to put East down 45-44. North came back with a crucial basket from Travis Laws and a trey by Johnson to stretch the lead to 50-44 with 2:20 left. North’s Barry Holland fouled out on the ensuing possession as Jordan Shepherd cut it back to a four-point game with 2:08 left. “Can’t fault our effort down the stretch,” Ledbetter said. “We can’t
CARSON BOYS FROM 1B led until freshman point guard Tre Williams scored the half’s last five points and it was 30-all. He finished with a career-high 13 points, including two threes in the third. “Tre has played great,” gushed Perry. “You can see his confidence grow. You see him being a leader and when you hear a freshman’s
pete, but not competent enough to prevail. After North’s lone bout of double-digit seperation came at 40-29, East closed it to single digits with a quarter left at 43-36. Johnson drained consecutive 3’s late in the first quarter, the first of which put North (7-12, 4-7) up for good at 13-11. The Raiders led 1814 after one quarter. In addition to Johnson’s precision from long range, McNeely hit a pair of 3s and Nolen swished one. Jared Hough was East’s only double-figure scorer with 13 points. Weston Rogers finished with eight. “If we play hard for 32 minutes, I think the outcome will be in our favor,” Ledbetter said. “We can’t play hard for 20, can’t play hard for tyler buckwell/SALISBURY POST 28.

voice, that’s good to hear.” Houston bombed a three from 25 feet for a 54-53 lead with 3:48 left and the defense stopped West on three consecutive possessions. But Carson (8-13, 5-7) could not score either. And in the end, it was Follrod (who else?) who sank a soft shot after a rebound with a minute left for the winning points. “He didn’t kill us like last time,” Perry said. “But he still got some easy shots around the basket.”

Pack QB, coach face challenge Associated Press
DALLAS — There’s no better excuse for a short night’s sleep than winning a Super Bowl. A blearyeyed Aaron Rodgers glanced at the Vince Lombardi Trophy on Monday morning and talked about RODGERS collecting a few more. So did his coach, Mike McCarthy. Rodgers led the Green Bay Packers to a 31-25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers for the storied franchise’s fourth Super Bowl title and 13th NFL championship. Before accepting the game’s MVP award and a
car, Rodgers spoke of the next goals for him and the team. “I guess I ran out of motivations, huh?” Rodgers said with a chuckle. “I always look for challenges. The challenge goes to repeating. We’ve got one, so now what? Let’s go get another one.” Rodgers guided the Packers to three straight road victories in the playoffs before Sunday’s win over Pittsburgh that made Green Bay the second No. 6 seed to win a Super Bowl. He threw for 304 yards and three touchdowns against the Steelers’ second-ranked defense, and the Packers displayed a resilience that marked their season. Green Bay had lost 16 players to injured reserve heading into the Super Bowl, then defensive leader Charles Woodson (collarbone) and veteran receiver

Donald Driver (ankle) went down Sunday. The ability to rally when faced with adversity will serve the Packers well as they defend their first title since the 1996 season. “I think the core and nucleus of this team is intact to make a run like this for a few years,” Rodgers said. McCarthy, who along with general manager Ted Thompson built these Packers, agreed with the quarterback he bypassed in the 2005 draft while the offensive coordinator in San Francisco — something Rodgers frequently reminds the coach about. “This is an excellent football team I feel will grow and get better,” said McCarthy, who carried the Lombardi Trophy in one hand into a conference room. “You give a good message that it’s about the team

Green Bay coach Mike Mccarthy admires the trophy. and growth and development.” And confidence. McCarthy had so much faith in his team that he fitted the players for championship rings the night before the Super Bowl. Rodgers missed that, however, saying he was taking a shower.
Season of uncertainty awaits pro football Associated Press
The NFL roundup .... ARLINGTON, Texas — Whether it was as complicated as deciding how to divide $9 billion or as simple as making sure everyone with a ticket also had a seat, the NFL had trouble getting it right this Super Bowl week. The league slogged through bad weather in Texas, a botched national anthem, a Super seating debacle and the back-and-forth of labor negotiations that threaten to shut down the sport. At least they had a good game. Led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the Green Bay Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-25 on Sunday in an exciting Super Bowl that showcased exactly what's at stake. Because when the lights went out at Cowboys Stadium, there was no knowing whether they would turn back on next fall.
The collective bargaining agreement that led to unprecedented success this season for the NFL expires March 3, and barring an agreement before then, owners are threatening to lock out players. "It's hard to imagine that in a time of economic travails, the public will have an overwhelming sense of sympathy in a labor fight that pits millionaires against billionaires," agent Leigh Steinberg said. TITANS NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A usually conservative Mike Munchak showed off much more of his personality Monday at his first news conference as head coach of the Tennessee Titans. He made jokes about how he expected a gold watch after 30 years with the franchise, how it will be easier for his mother to see him on the sideline now and even poked fun at his quiet manner. "This is my excited face," Munchak
said at one point. The new coach also made one thing very clear: Change is coming, even though he coached under Jeff Fisher the past 14 seasons. BIG RATINGS NEW YORK — For the second year in a row, the Super Bowl has set a record for American television viewing. The Nielsen Co. said Monday that an estimated 111 million people watched the Green Bay Packers outlast the Pittsburgh Steelers in professional football's ultimate game. That tops the 106.5 million who watched the 2010 game between New Orleans and Indianapolis. The series finale of "M-A-S-H" had held the title of the most-watched TV show in the United States for 27 years. It is now No. 3. Fox had the advantage of a game between two of the National Football League's iconic franchises.
Bobcats win; keep Allen from record
CHAPEL HILL— Waltiea Rolle saw Duke's Chelsea Gray sprinting her way in transition for a shot that could force North Carolina into overtime. The 6-foot-6 sophomore stood her ground, extended her left arm and knocked Gray's leaning drive harmlessly away. The horn sounded a second later, sending Rolle and her North Carolina teammates into an oncourt celebration of a victory that kept them in the Atlantic Coast Conference race. Rolle had the go-ahead three-point play with 3:20 left to go with that gamesaving block to help the 13th-ranked Tar Heels beat the fifth-ranked Blue Devils 62-60 on Monday. Italee Lucas scored 17 points to lead the Tar Heels (21-3, 7-2 ACC), who fought through a tough and often ugly rivalry game before holding on to win in a thrilling finish. It also kept the Blue Devils (21-2, 7-1) from running out too far ahead in the league standings, where North Carolina is tied with No. 19 Florida State for second. The Tar Heels have won four straight games since a 23-point loss at Maryland.
MEN’S HOOPS LAWRENCE, Kan. — Marcus Morris had 22 points and reserve Mario
Little added 17, sparking a second-half charge that led No. 2 Kansas past No. 19 Missouri 103-86 on Monday night. No. 4 Pittsburgh 71, No. 25 West Virginia 66 MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Nasir Robinson scored 15 points and Pittsburgh overcame an awful start to beat West Virginia.
NHL NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Rookie Devan Dubnyk made 37 saves for his first career NHL shutout and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Nashville Predators 4-0 on Monday night. Red Wings 3, Rangers 2 DETROIT — Pavel Datsyuk had a goal, an assist and a game-high three takeaways after missing 19 games with a broken right wrist to help Detroit beat the New York Rangers 3-2. Maple Leafs 5, Thrashers 4 TORONTO— Toronto coach Ron Wilson tried some lineup changes and it seemed to create some spark during a 5-4 win over the Atlanta Thrashers.

CHARLOTTE — The Boston Celtics were Bobcats 94 short-handCeltics 89 ed, weary and lacking energy following a difficult stretch of games when Kevin Garnett leveled an elbow into Eduardo Najera’s face. The intimidation attempt didn’t work against the Charlotte Bobcats. “I just told him he hits like my grandma,” Najera said. The little-used Najera ended up burying a clutch 3-pointer, Gerald Wallace scored 19 points and hit the clinching free throws with 3 seconds left, and the Bobcats overcame top scorer Stephen Jackson’s ejection to stun the Celtics 94-89 on Monday night. “This was a wonderful victory for us,” said Bobcats coach Paul Silas. Ray Allen scored 25 points, but attempted and hit only two 3-pointers to leave him two shy of breaking Reggie Miller’s NBA career record of 2,560. Paul Pierce added 22 points and Garnett grabbed 14 rebounds. Shaun Livingston scored a season-high 18 points, playing in crunch time ahead of D.J.

Gerald Henderson scored 15 points filling in for Jackson and Najera’s 3-pointer with 1:57 left put Charlotte ahead 89-83. “I don’t think he made a 3 all year,” Garnett said. It was his sixth in 16 attempts. The 34-year-old Najera was asked after the game if toughness was one of his attributes. “I think that’s about the only thing I have left,” Najera said, smiling. “And I make a 3 now and then.”

Healthy chap not so healthy Dear Dr. Gott: My 58-yearold husband who is never sick was preparing for a hernia-repair procedure but did not pass the EKG pre-op test. They had him do a stress test, which he also flunked. They did a c a r d i a c catheterization and found the DR. PETER right coronary artery is GOTT 100 percent blocked. Another has a 60 percent blockage, and another has two 30 percent blockages. They said they don’t do anything unless a blockage is 70 percent or more and gave him Crestor and metoprolol tartrate. I guess I assumed with a 100 percent blockage, they would have to do a bypass but that doesn’t appear to be an option. He said they do this for a living and have standards they have to follow and that it is a little artery and a big blockage. Other vessels seem to have taken over for it. Does this sound reasonable to you? I’m worried, and he is still in shock that he isn’t the healthy man he thought he was. Thank you for your help. Dear reader: Unfortunately, as you discovered, some disorders may not reveal outward symptoms and aren’t found until something like hernia repair or other unrelated conditions occur.

Bridge hand: Is the right play high, middle or low? BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
For example, coronary-artery disease affects millions of Americans — yet they have no symptoms and may even remain unaware of the problem until they suffer a heart attack. Symptoms of coronary-artery disease (CAD) include chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle fails to get an adequate supply of blood rich in oxygen. Silent CAD is just that — silent. Your husband had a completely blocked artery. Fortunately, another nearby artery took over the work of the malfunctioning one and your husband remained unknowing. This is a common occurrence. Simply put, this can be compared with a detour on the road. You may have to take an alternate route to get where you are going. But you do get there, nonetheless. Blood flow within arteries can become either partially or totally blocked because of plaque, a material that builds up within arteries. Partial blockage is known as stenosis, or narrowing. One treatment option might be to simply test the artery yearly. Another might be to provide an anticoagulant or a medication to lower cholesterol levels. The latter is what your husband’s physician chose. Invasive methods of opening an artery might be accomplished through angioplasty. Crestor should lower your husband’s cholesterol level and reduce his risk of developing stroke and related cardiac conditions. The
metoprolol is a beta blocker used to treat angina and hypertension and to help prevent or treat a heart attack. In this situation, a cardiologist weighed the pros and cons of surgical repair, using a 70 percent blockage as one guideline. I personally know of one patient who was unconscious and not expected to survive. He was sent via ambulance to a large cardiac center where he was monitored closely, placed on medication, and sent home to recuperate. He wasn’t bad enough for surgery! Much to my surprise, the patient survived and did well. He continues to be monitored on a regular basis. To provide related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Coronary Artery Disease.” Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order made payable to Newsletter and mailed to Newsletter, P.O.

E. Joseph Cossman said, “Middle age is when your broad mind and narrow waist begin to change places.” We have been looking at declarer’s play from the dummy at trick one. He has had to choose between a low card and a high card. Occasionally, though, there is a third option — as in this deal. How would you plan the play in three notrump after West leads the spade two? You start with six top tricks: one spade (given the opening lead), three hearts and two clubs. But you can establish three diamond winners. What is the risk to your contract? You might lose three spades and two diamonds. What is the likely spade lay-
out? Presumably West has four spades with at least one honor. (He would have led a high spade without an honor.) If West has both the ace and jack, you are in no danger. However, if the honors are
split, things might not be so easy. Imagine, for example, that you play dummy’s spade queen at trick one and East takes the trick with the ace. When he returns a spade, you will play low from your hand. If West wins with his jack and returns the suit, you will lose those five tricks unless East has both the ace and king of diamonds. Similarly, suppose you play dummy’s low spade at trick one and East inserts the nine. You win with your king and lead a diamond, but if West takes this trick and plays another spade, you must guess which honor is held by East. Now go back to trick one and call for dummy’s 10. If East wins with the ace, you have two spade tricks. Or, if East covers with the jack, you take your king and score the queen later.
‘The X Factor’ winner to get $5 million contract NEW YORK (AP) — The winner of Simon Cowell’s upcoming game show on Fox will get a $5 million record deal. Fox says it believes that’s the biggest guaranteed prize in television history. “The X Factor” is due to premiere on Fox next fall. Cowell left “American Idol” in part to concentrate on the new show, which has been a successful format in several countries since its debut in Britain in 2004. The winner of the inaugural American edition gets a recording contract with Syco, a joint venture between Cowell and Sony Music. Cowell will be an on-air participant in “The X Factor,” which Fox advertised

Wet and snowy weather returns to New England and the East Coast on Tuesday, while another round of cold air hits the Plains. A low pressure system over the Southeast converges with a trough over the Mid-Mississippi Valley to produce periods of heavy rain in the South and snow in the North. The system will quickly move northeastward up the East Coast into New England. Flow around this system pulls moisture in from the Atlantic Ocean and allows for rain and snow showers to develop from the Central Appalachians to Maine. Total snowfall accumulation will range from 1 to 3 inches, with locally higher amounts at higher elevations. Some parts of Maine may see up to 6 inches on Tuesday. The western side of this system will pull cool and dry air over the Great Lakes, which will kick up lake effect snow showers over the eastern shores. Expect 2 to 4 inches of heavy and wet snow over western New York, and 1 to 2 inches across western Michigan. Further west, high pressure builds over the Plains and Mississippi River Valley and pushes bitterly cold air into the Central US. The Northern Plains and Upper Midwest will see daytime highs in the single digits, while overnight lows will remain below zero, with windchills between 30 and 40 degrees below zero. High temperatures will only reach into the 30s and 40s as far south as northern Texas and Oklahoma. Expect more snow in the Rockies as a low pressure system in the Pacific Northwest and Northern Plains tracks southeastward over the Central Rockies and Southern Rockies. This system will obtain moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, and create periods of heavy snow across high elevations of Colorado and northern New Mexico. Expect 4 to 8 inches of new snow across western Colorado, up to 4 inches at higher elevations of northern New Mexico, and a dusting of snow showers across Utah.
