Messin’ with Sasquatch: Bigfoot search going on in Uwharries today ichael D. Greene has been messing with Sasquatch for years. Over the past week, his lonely pursuit of Bigfoot has become much more public, culminating today in a volunteer search — filmed by Animal Planet — for the mysterious giant. A resident of Crane Cove on High Rock Lake, Greene believes today’s hunt will be

— excuse the expression — a zoo. No way, he knows, would any Bigfoot show himself to this herd of curiosity-seekers and media ready to take on the Uwharrie National Forest in Montgomery County. But Greene, a 69-year-old retiree who says he has seen Bigfoot in these same mountains “two-and-a-half times,”

still manages to find an upside. “I’m all for promoting Bigfoot awareness,” he said Friday. As part of a six-episode series called “Finding Sasquatch,” an Animal Planet crew has spent the whole week with Greene filming in the Uwharries and conducting interviews of locals. “My role is, I’m the guy who brought them to North

Carolina, really,” said Greene, a five-year member of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO). Greene claims to have taken a three-minute, thermal imaging video of Bigfoot in the Uwharrie Forest in April 2009. That video is available for a $2 download

EVENT CENTER BLOSSOMING

Business strategist: Fibrant needs promoting City officials urged to not ‘hide this digital light under a basket’ BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

sarah campbell/SALISBURY POST

Brian Moerman plans to build an event center on Amity Hill Road in Cleveland. The new 7,000-square-foot facility will mirror the current structure on The Arbors Events property.

New place for weddings, corporate gatherings planned for Cleveland BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

LEVELAND — When Brian Moerman opened Treetops Nursery in 2003, his plan was to build a successful tree farm from the bottom up. Moerman did just that, but his business also took an unexpected turn. After his friends were married on the 112-acre tree farm in September 2007, he began getting more inquiries about the site. The Arbors Events, which provides a venue for outdoor weddings, reunions and corporate events, was born from that wedding. “I looked at doing this as a part-time thing, but the demand on the wedding side was just tremendous,” he said. “And the corporate side was pretty significant as well.” Now, he’s turned The Arbors Events into a full-blown business, which will be expanding. The Cleveland Town Board recently approved Moerman’s request for a zoning amendment, allowing for the construction of a 7,000-square-foot event center on the property. Moerman said the addition of the event center will make it possible to host more corporate events such as company retreats, team building exercises and workshops. The property already has a guest

Construction is expected to be done by May 2012. house on site, but the space is limited to just two bedrooms. Moerman said the new event center, designed by Monroe-based architect David Morgan, will feature covered en-

tryways, a gathering hall, catering areas, balcony and between eight and 10 guest rooms.

Calls to hospital going through Winston-Salem Novant consolidating switchboard operations BY SCOTT JENKINS sjenkins@salisburypost.com

Beginning April 3, calls to doctors, staff or patients at Rowan Regional Medical Center will be routed through a Novant Health call center in Winston-Salem.

[|xbIAHD y0 0 1rzu

On Tuesday, Rowan Regional officials told operators who run the hospital’s switchboard that their department will be consolidated with switchboards from other Novant hospitals. Hospital officials told the 14 operators at Rowan Regional they will be offered jobs at the call center or in other hospital departments and that training would be provided for other positions.

Creating a municipal fiber optic network was smart, but now the city must market Fibrant and educate users to realize the system’s full potential, a community broadband expert says. “You have truly 21st century technology,” said Craig Settles, a broadband business strategist from San Francisco who spoke Friday at City Council’s planning retreat. “Do not hide this digital light under a basket. Talk about it and promote it. It will make a difference.” Fibrant is the city’s fledgling $30 million fiber-to-the-home utility, which was in development for five years. Fibrant has been operating since November SETTLES and expects to sign up its 500th subscriber this month. The city aims to have 4,400 subscribers in four years. Salisbury must launch a campaign to win the hearts and minds of residents, Settles said. Some people will always criticize Fibrant, but the city should work to turn most critics into crusaders, he said. Salisbury must market Fibrant differently to various groups and understand each target audience, he said. Seniors will use Fibrant differently than teens. Home-based businesses will use it differently than corporations. “You can’t market the same thing the same way,” he said. “This is how you understand where you are going to go.” Residents need to see incremental progress as the city rolls out the network, Settles said, which is one of about 80 municipal broadband systems in the country. The city should find the other networks and learn from mistakes they made, he said. While Fibrant will have mistakes and setbacks, Settles said ultimately the network will soar. “You are in a position to make a national name for yourselves,” he said. By using Fibrant as an economic develop-

Fibrant updates • Fibrant is still available only to single family homes, although marketing director Len Clark says apartment building installations are on the horizon. Called “multiple dwelling units,” these multi-family homes require a different installation technology, he said. The city has had about 30 requests for Fibrant from apartment dwellers. • By next month, Fibrant will offer caller ID on TV, a popular Time Warner Cable service. When the phone rings, the number and name of the caller will appear on the TV. In addition, Fibrant’s caller ID service will offer several options via the TV remote control, including reject call, accept call and send to voice mail. Customers also can upload photos of their frequent callers to appear on the TV, Fibrant director Mike Crowell said. • By April, Fibrant will offer video on demand. • Fibrant now offers the capability to record two channels while watching a third and eventually will offer four simultaneous channels, Crowell said.

on http://bushloper.net, his “Sasquatch Research Site.” The production company also hired Greene as its “fixer.” “Because I know where to go around here,” Greene explained. “I just sort of expedite things.” His work with national cable television channel actually started a week earlier when he met with a field producer, and they visited the spots where they would be filming. They also scouted for places to land a helicopter, use a boat and rent cars. Greene showed the producer where they could eat (local diners) and sleep (an Albemarle hotel). Amid what Greene calls “general organized confusion,” he and the production crew spent cold nights and mornings all week in the Uwharrie Forest trying to recreate Greene’s encounter, while also hoping to get their own view of Bigfoot. They usually did not return to the Albemarle hotel until early in the morning and slept to about 11 a.m. each day. Greene said there was “some excitement one night” with a thermal image caught on a hillside, but it will have to analyzed later. Animal Planet also organized and shot footage at a public meeting one evening in Troy, where anybody with a Bigfoot story was encouraged to gather at the firehouse. When the Animal Planet folks were late, Greene said he had to speak with the restless crowd, retelling his own Bigfoot experiences, for about 40 minutes. Later, other witnesses emerged from the crowd to speak of their encounters. “It was a very productive meeting,” Greene said. “It was sort of like an AA (Al-

CALLS FROM 1a businesses, including health care,” Caldwell said. In addition to Rowan Regional, the memo says, the Winston-Salem center will handle calls for Forsyth Medical Center, Medical Park Hospital, Thomasville Medical Center and Kernersville Medical Center. Operators will know which hospital a caller is trying to reach and will answer using that hospital’s name, the memo says. They will forward calls to medical departments and patient rooms and will have access to hospital maps and directions, as well as doctors’ phone numbers and schedules. “If they play golf on Wednesday afternoon, we’re going to know that,” Baltimore said. “The switchboard operators will have that informa-

••• Butch Young of Rockwell appeared on the History Channel’s “Monster Quest” show last March and told of seeing two Bigfoot creatures during a 1985 Marines training exercise in Bridgeport, Calif. It happened at night in the high elevations of the Sierra Mountains. “When someone sees something like I did, it messes up your point of view,” he said Friday. Since then, the 45-year-old Young has become what he considers an amateur, but well-informed Bigfoot scholar. He estimates the Bigfoot population in North America at 2,000 to 6,000. And for what he knows and has read about Greene, “I think his credibility is really good,” Young added, “but you never know. You have hoaxes out there.” Greene likens Bigfoot discussions among people to the six degrees of separation from actor Kevin Bacon. Bigfoot isn’t a topic that comes up in normal conversation, but when it does, a person seems to know a person, who knows somebody else, who had a friend whose mother’s gardener once saw Bigfoot. Or something like that. ••• Greene and his wife first started making trips to North Carolina when they were living in Pennsylvania and visiting her son and grandchildren here. He combined one trip about three years ago with some camping in the Uwharries. Greene was sleeping in his tent about 3 a.m. when he heard two deep “Darth Vader breaths” outside and above his head. The visitor hit the roof of his tent and something large ran away after he responded by hitting the tent wall, Greene said. During a subsequent BFRO night out in the same woods, Greene said he was ther-

tion.” The memo says that for callers to Rowan Regional after the change, the process will be “seamless.” At least one current switchboard employee doesn’t agree. The employee, who did not want to be identified for fear of reprisal, said Rowan Regional operators know far more than directions or phone numbers. They know where doctors are likely to be when they’re not sticking to their schedules, and they can usually help a patient find a doctor or department even when the patient doesn’t know exactly who he’s looking for. “It loses the personal touch, the caring touch,” the operator said. “Some things you can’t put on paper; you have to know.” The employee said most of the switchboard operators can’t afford to commute to Winston-Salem and some feel they’re too old to take on training or do jobs the hospital has

available. “You go on the Internet, and there are just not jobs there we’re qualified for,” the operator said. Baltimore said that one reason hospital officials are putting off the consolidation for two months is to allow time to find jobs for the operators and that Caldwell is personally making calls to secure training. “She is absolutely committed to making sure that individuals who want to continue to work at Rowan Regional ... we’re going to find a spot for them,” Baltimore said. The two months will also give Novant time to make sure call center operators “have the knowledge about Rowan Regional” to meet callers’ needs, she said. Baltimore pointed out that calls to Novant’s three Presbyterian hospitals in Charlotte are now routed to operators at one call center. “That particular situation

••• Bigfoot — also called Sasquatch and Yeti — has been described variously over the centuries as hairy, bipedal, ape-like and humanoid. Sightings speak of a creature with huge feet (or tracks at least), basketballcenter-type height and massive shoulders and back. The thrill of seeing Sasquatch in the Uwharrie Mountains made it inviting for Greene to move here and begin regular camping trips to his favorite spot. He left fruit, candy, peanut butter, pennies and squeaky bathtub toys on a stump, but it never came, he said, while his camera was running. Once, while he was sleeping, Bigfoot took something from the stump and left five small rocks in return, Greene said. The giving of little presents, such as the rocks, is behavior “reported by many other people,” he added. On April 28, 2009, Greene claims, he captured the thermal image of Bigfoot on video. He had heard movement close to the stump and decided to leave his camouflaged camera running while he drove several hundred yards away and waited for two hours. It wasn’t until reviewing his recording the next morning that he determined his camera had caught Bigfoot. Greene calls it his “Squeaky Thermal Video,” named for some of the squeaky toys he had used to lure Bigfoot. According to Greene’s website, he is a former Army tank commander who has a bachelor’s degree in English literature and a

has been very seamless,” she said. “So we’ve had experience in consolidating switchboards before, so we know what information they’re going to need and training they’re going to have to have to give our patients the best service possible.”

Drunk drivers don’t just endanger themselves. Many times, they drive drunk repeatedly until causing a collision. And too many times, they claim the lives of innocent people. Lawmakers, victims’ advocates and people who have lost loved ones to drunk drivers are calling for tougher laws and harsher penalties, especially for repeat DWI offenders.

master’s degree in behavioral psychology. He has been a probation officer, an investigator for the public defender’s office, a state welfare fraud investigator, a documents examiner, an emergency medical technician, skier, pilot and sailor. Over the years, he has looked for Bigfoot in British Columbia, California, Washington state, New York, Florida and now North Carolina. In 1990, he formed Mountain Research Inc. to take the paying public on Bigfoot expeditions in British Columbia. But the logistics and expenses proved prohibitive. He said it took Matt Moneymaker’s formation of the BFRO to figure out how to do public expeditions the right way. Since joining the BFRO five years ago, Greene has been on at least 16 public expeditions, besides his own private ones. Greene acknowledged he always carried some inner doubt that Bigfoot exists. “Until you see one yourself,” he added. “you can’t believe it.” Throughout history, Bigfoot sightings usually have been dismissed as folklore, misidentification of animals and hoaxes. Greene puts himself in the camp believing that the species Gigantopithecus blacki migrated from China using the Bering land bridge thousands of years ago. The breed which spawned today’s Bigfoot spread throughout Canada and the United States — and survived, this theory goes. “There must be thousands of them,” Greene said, “as improbable as it seems. Yeah, there can’t be (only) one.” The Animal Planet production, featuring Moneymaker and three other Bigfoot researchers, will leave after today’s hunt. “Finding Sasquatch” has previously visited Prince of Wales Island in Alaska and also will be going to Florida, Georgia, Oregon and Washington State to investigate previous Bigfoot sightings.

Raceway property auction delayed The sale of the High Rock Raceway property has been postponed for three months, an attorney said Friday. The 10-day upset bid auction was scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. Friday at the Rowan County Courthouse. Attorney Jim Mason, whose firm is serving as substitute trustee, said he has been instructed by the lender to postpone it until 1 p.m. May 12. The sale of the planned Spencer raceway, which was never built, has been scheduled and postponed several times. High Rock Lenders LLC, a Florida-based company, is foreclosing over a $1.6 million mortgage against the 200-acre property. The former ColorTex/N.C. Finishing Co. site is located on U.S. 29 along the Yadkin River. The deed was transferred to the current owner, Z&M Management Group LLC in China Grove, from High Rock Properties LLC on April 19.

Partisanship back on judicial ballot? Open-government backers plan conference in Salisbury Access to local government records and using the new state personnel law will be among the topics discussed at a statewide Sunshine Day conference in Salisbury on March 17. The N.C. Open Government Coalition will hold “Sunshine Day in North Carolina: Securing a future for dialogue on open government” on Thursday, March 17, at the Salisbury Station, 215 Depot St. The conference is geared toward citizens, journalists, government employees, librarians, lawyers, historians, public officials and anyone else who is interested.

The schedule for the one-day conference will include a luncheon speaker and three panel discussions: • 11:30 a.m.: Welcome, lunch and keynote address by University of North Carolina System President Tom Ross. • 1 p.m.: Covering university trouble and contending with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). • 2 p.m.: Access to local government records. • 3 p.m.: Using the new state personnel law.

A bill co-sponsored by Rowan County’s state senator would restore partisan judicial elections in North Carolina. Right now, no party affiliations appear on the ballot for Supreme Court justices and Court of Appeals, Superior Court and District Court judges. N.C. Sen. Andrew Brock is cosponsoring legislation that would allow judicial candidates to identify with a political party and include them in partisan primary elections. Brock and N.C. Rep. Fred Steen were not listed as primary sponsors for any new legislation in the past week. Brock and N.C. Rep. Harry Warren are co-sponsors on a bill that

would limit the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tempore to two terms of two years each. Warren is a primary sponsor — and Steen a co-sponsor — of Laura’s Law. The legislation would increase the punishment for DWI offenders with three or more aggravating factors, authorize the court to require continuous alcohol monitoring for certain offenders and increase court costs for DWI offenders. The bill is named for 17-year-old Laura Fortenberry, who died in a wreck in Gaston County in July. Police say the vehicle she was riding in was struck by a drunken driver who is a repeat DWI offender.

Differing plans between a school board administrator and the developers of a medical center led to an emergency meeting by the RowanSalisbury Board of Education on Friday. The meeting was called to clarify opposition to sharing an access road with a new primary health care facility off U.S. 29 being built in China Grove. The project’s architect says plans will move forward regardless of whether the school system approves a secondary entrance on Bostian Road. “We know the road that we are discussing isn’t a road that we have to have for the development,” Atlanta-based architect John Stone said Friday. During an emergency school board meeting Friday, Gene Miller, assistant superintendent for operations, explained his decision to deny the request by the developers for access to the Bostian Road easement, which the district bought in 2007. The right-of-way was purchased to ease traffic to a future school on China Grove Road. The school system owns the lot located off U.S. 29 between China Grove and Bostian roads. Miller said with China Grove Road being a rural twolane stretch of road, a better option was needed for a second entrance. The easement off Bostian Road will serve as the primary road for buses, while China Grove Road will be used by passenger vehicles. “This was a logical solution and it’s one that the board paid good money to get,” he said

board wasn’t willing to work with the new doctor’s office. “The urgency of this (meeting) is that there is probably going to be information out in the community and you guys are going to be accredited with a decision that I made yesterday,” he told the board during the emergency meeting Friday. Although there was speculation that the school system was “thrown under the bus” during the planning board meeting, chairman David Morton said it was actually a positive presentation, with broad plans. “I don’t think it was presented that way or intended that way,” Morton said. Morton said the developers did share they had received a negative response from Miller because he didn’t think the district could make it work for the buses. “We were told that Gene (Miller) had said no, but it wasn’t like hell no,” he said. “We encouraged them to go back and talk to the board.” Morton said he would like to see a resolution that fits both the school board and the community’s needs. “We didn’t just want to abandon that idea and it sounded like (Miller) hadn’t been presented with a lot of options,” he said. The school board agreed to invite the developers to their next meeting on Feb. 28. “Certainly we want to be cooperative with that community and we don’t want to inhibit any growth,” school board Chairman Jim Emerson said. “But our primary responsibility is going to be to look after the kids.” School board member Richard Miller said he wants to analyze the plans before making a final decision. “We can try to come up with a solution that suits everybody.” Contact reporter Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

FROM 3a The school system shelled out $1.4 million in October 2007 to purchase the 34-acre lot. Stone contacted Miller earlier this week about creating an entry off Bostian Road, which could be shared by the school and the medical facility, But Miller said the proposal would not work because a joint road could be a safety hazard with traffic traveling to both buildings. “Even though there’s not a general statute that says you can’t put buses and cars on the same road, it’s just not a good practice it’s not a safe practice,” he said. “You know there are going to be bump ups.” After discussing the proposal with school-board attorney Don Sayers and architect Bill Burgin, Miller informed Stone that allowing the medical facility to use the easement would compromise the school system’s plans. The medical facility’s developers shared Miller’s response during a China Grove planning board Thursday. “We didn’t say anything derogatory about the school system, we just said they didn’t want to do it,” Stone said. Stone said, after presenting the a master plan to the board, they were surprised about Miller’s decision. “We were proposing to build the road at our expense,” he said. Without the secondary entrance, northbound vehicles on U.S. 29 would have to make a U-turn to reach the medical facility, which will be directly across from the Stag N’ Doe restaurant. Miller said he was unaware about the presentation to the planning board and heard rumors Friday that the school

Two Salisbury men are in jail on drug-possession charges after Salisbury Police searched a home on Lincolnton Road CHAMBERS Thursday afternoon.

Sex offender turns himself in over warrant A sex offender turned himself in to authorities Thursday night after being missing for nearly six months, the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office reported Friday. Joseph Worley Alexander Jr., 56, of 520 E. Liberty St., was charged with failure to register as a sex offender and is in jail under a $10,000 secured bond. According to a sheriff’s report, deputies went to Alexander’s last known address on Lloyd Street on July 14 to check on him after his sex offender address verification letter was returned to the sheriff’s office. The letter said Alexander had moved and left no new ad-

dress. Officers spoke to Alexander’s sister at the home, and she told off i c e r s Alexander had moved but she didn’t know where. A warrant was issued for ALEXANDER Alexander’s arrest on an allegation that he did not update the sheriff’s office on his address change within 10 days of his move. Authorities said Alexander learned the sheriff’s office was looking for him and he turned himself in.

Convicted felon found with firearms CLEVELAND — An expired tag led to gun and drug charges for a Woodleaf man Thursday night. Richard James Cooley, 46, of 119 Cooley Farm Road, was traveling down Amity Hill Road with a passenger, and was pulled over because they vehicle they were in had an expired COOLEY tag. When the sheriff’s deputy approached Cooley’s truck, he saw a semiautomatic handgun and another pistol on the dash. A Cleveland Police officer also responded, and Cooley told the officers he had another gun tucked in the back

of his pants. Cooley, a convicted felon, was arrested for having the guns, and the truck was searched. An open can of beer was found in the passenger area. The passenger was cited and walked home. During the search, the officers found a blue pill bottle and crusher containing four Oxycontin pills. A decorative pill case was found in the back of the cab of the truck, with five Suboxone were pills inside.

Man gets 34 years for fatal robbery GREENSBORO (AP) — A Burlington man has been sentenced to 34 years in prison after pleading guilty in the shooting death of a store owner more than two years ago. Christopher Shane Knight, 33, pleaded guilty this week to second-degree murder, armed robbery and illegal possession of a gun. Knight originally had been charged with first-degree murder in the Dec. 6, 2008, shooting death of Bobby Lee Taylor, 69, who operated a store in Whitsett. Family members say Knight knew Taylor, a retired firefighter. Knight was arrested by an Alamance County sheriff’s deputy about three months after the shooting and was charged with murder after officers found a cash register from the store in the vehicle.

Former deputy pleads guilty DURHAM (AP) — A former Durham County sheriff’s deputy has pleaded guilty to 25 counts of embezzlement. Former Lt. Derek O’Mary entered the pleas Thursday in Durham and will be sentenced later. Sheriff Worth Hill fired O’Mary in 2009 after he was suspected of stealing money used to pay confidential informants and to buy drugs in undercover drug investigations. O’Mary supervised drug investigations before he was fired.

CHAPEL HILL (AP) — North Carolina’s public universities will raise tuition and student fees next fall by an average of $401 after governing board approval Friday that attracted student protesters worried about the impact of higher costs. The University of North Carolina Board of Governors approved a package of tuition and fees that raises costs by an average of 8.2 percent to $5,275 for in-state, undergraduate students. While all 16 campuses sought to increase tuition by the 6.5 percent maximum set by the governing board, the impact differs based on the size of fee increases and whether administrators elected to spread out an increase approved last year. Tuition and fees will go up $606 at the University of North Carolina at Asheville, $481 at North Carolina State University, and $189 at Elizabeth City State University. UNC System President Tom Ross said the top priority of university leaders remains keeping education affordable through low tuition and adequate financial aid. State legislators are trying to cut a projected state budget

shortfall of about $3 billion for the fiscal year beginning in July. UNC officials are bracing for cuts of up to $400 million on top of $620 million slashed in the past four years. “We must avoid any permanent damage to the university,” Ross said, and “lessen the long term impact of this recession and the related budget cuts.” Ross last month initiated a review of academic and administrative programs aimed at streamlining costs and operations, especially purchasing, finance and human resources. That review is expected to lead to some degree programs being eliminated or combined with similar programs at nearby campuses Even before that, university leaders voted Friday to eliminate 60 academic degree programs, mostly in foreign languages and teaching. North Carolina Central University led the cuts with 12 bachelors and masters degree programs, including those for students pursuing education degrees focusing on mathematics, biology, chemistry, Spanish and French in secondary schools.

The Rowan County 4-H Program is selling raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, muscadine and fig plants to support the county’s youth program. So what do you do with these plants once you get them home? Listed below is information to successfully grow blackberry plants in this area. The variety of blackberry plants for sale are well adapted to grow in our climate. Blackberries are divided into classes by their growth habitat and are described as trailing, semi-trailing or erect. The trailing varieties are thorny and the semi-trailing varieties are thornless, and the erect varieties may be either. Generally the erect varieties are more cold hardy than the trailing or semi-trailing varieties. Erect varieties also fruit about a month earlier than other varieties. The blackberry plant varieties offered for sale are Apache, a thornless, erectgrowing variety with a high yield of fruit. Apache plants produce large fruit with good flavor. The second variety available is Arapaho, which is also a thornless, erect-

growing plant. The plant produces medium fruit with good flavor. It is important to understand the growth cycle before you begin growing your plants. Blackberries have crowns that produce biennial shoots. They live for two years then they die. During the first year they are called primocanes and also develop flower buds. The second year the shoots are called floricanes, which produce flowers that mature into fruit. After they produce fruit they will die and should be removed. When planting, carefully spread the roots and place the crown about 2 inches below the soil. If there is an extra cane attached, prune that back to 6 inches. Plant root cutting horizontal and cover 4 to -6 inches deep in sandy soil and 3 to 4 inches deep in clay soils. You can fertilize when growth starts in the spring and again after the harvest. A complete fertilizer such as 10-10-10 is recommended. During the first year or two of growth apply the fertilizer in a 12-inch circle around the plant. Older plants can be fertilized down the row. Mulching will aid in water retention and weed control. Use a mulch of your

One of the troopers was transferred to her hometown and became her choice to head the N.C. State Highway Patrol after she was elected governor. The documents, revealed from a records request by Durham television station WTVD, focus on an FBI investigation of Perdue that examined a July 1995 one-car accident involving Perdue as part of a wider probe into patrol practices. A grand jury also was empaneled. The investigation of Perdue, a Democrat, was closed in 1998 due to insufficient evidence to proceed, according to a memo from the FBI’s file. The documents show interim Crime Control and Public Safety Secretary Brad Wilson told an FBI agent that in October 1995 that Perdue wanted the officers added to a promotion list after a promotion review panel already had

The names of the officers were redacted from the released FBI file, but WTVD, citing personnel and promotion records, said one of the three officers was Randy Glover, who served as patrol commander for about a year until last summer. He was promoted to first sergeant at the time and transferred from Morehead City to New Bern, WTVD reported. The News & Observer of Raleigh also reported last summer a retired Cabinet secretary said Perdue worked to get Glover’s name added to the promotions list. Perdue or her spokeswoman had denied in 2009 and 2010 that the governor had intervened to help Glover get promoted. Last July, however, Perdue released a statement saying she had offered “many recommendations on which men and women deserved recognition at agencies throughout state government, including Randy Glover and other qualified troopers at the Highway Patrol.”

choice. Blackberries are droughthardy, but should be watered more during the harvest season. They should receive a minimum of 1 inch of water per week. You will know the blackberries are ripe when they begin to lose their shine and turn dull. Erect varieties do not need support if the primocanes are pruned during the summer to keep the canes from growing more than 3 to 4 feet in height. Train unpruned erect varieties to a one-wire trellis. When the new shoots are 30 to 36 inches tall cut the tips off to promote branching. After the harvest remove all floricanes and continue to tip primocanes. During the winter, prune the laterals 12-14 inches for easier harvesting and larger berries. If you would like to place an order for raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, muscadine or fig plants you may do so by calling 704-216-8970 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. The deadline to order is Feb. 23. The cost for each plant is $9 or $8 each if five or more of the same variety are ordered. Sara Drake is the Extension Agent in charge 4-H Youth Development.

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Prosecutors say they will not seek a death sentence for a man accused of killing the daughter of a North Carolina police chief. Mecklenburg Assistant District Attorney Beth Greene said Thursday that Michael Neal Harvey, 35, will not face a death sentence if he is convicted of killing Valerie Hamilton, 23. Greene would not elaborate. The daughter of Concord Police Chief Merl Hamilton was found dead in a storage unit several days after she disappeared from a Charlotte bar in September. An autopsy shows Valerie Hamilton died from a combination of heroin and cocaine. Harvey has said he is innocent and said Hamilton overdosed in her sleep.

Tween romance doesn’t follow script Dear Amy: I am an eighthgrade girl. Today at school a boy who likes me asked me out in front of all his friends and my friends. I said yes to be polite. Then after everybody left, I pulled him aside and told him privately that I only like him as a friend and that was it. His face and eyes got red. ASK L a t e r , everybody AMY started saying I was mean and shouldn’t have done that. Then I got nasty e-mails from my friend “Sherrie.” She said that really crushed him and went on and on about how rude I was. My mom helped me respond politely, but now I feel terrible. He won’t talk to me anymore, and Sherrie is mad at me. Am I the bad guy? — Sorry Dear Sorry: You aren’t the bad guy, but your guy friend is embarrassed and you are being blamed for his embarrassment. He should not have asked you out in front of other people, but he’s young (so are you). It’s a rookie mistake — the sort of thing brought on by too many “High School Musical” viewings. In the movies, public declarations seem to work out, while in real life people are complicated, unpredictable, and events don’t follow the script. You were correct not to

embarrass this friend in front of other people. Now you need to keep quiet about the whole episode. If you maintain a calm and serene attitude, this will blow over. Dear Amy: Once a year I host a family reunion for my five children, their spouses and my seven grandchildren. I pay for all expenses, including travel. One of my daughters remarried last year and her spouse has a teenage daughter who is not a member of their household (except for every other weekend). They have indicated that they would like to bring the daughter to the family reunion. I have no problem with her coming, but my question is — should I be expected to pay for the expenses of her coming? This is a cross-country trip, adding a total cost of about $1,500. They have not offered to pay for her, and I wonder what you think about this? — Generous Dad Dear Generous: You should include this new family member in the reunion. You are offering a wonderful opportunity for the entire family to bond and for this teen to get to know her new relatives. Because this added expense is considerable, if you can’t afford the cost for your step-granddaughter’s trip, you should ask your daughter and her husband if they could help foot the bill this year. You sound like a generous person. It’s hard to think of a near stranger as a family member, but she is. I hope

you’ll extend your generosity in her direction. Dear Amy: In response to “Sad Wife,” whose husband doesn’t want to discuss serious issues (like having children), I have a suggestion. My husband also refused to talk about having kids. After we had been married about a year, I finally told him that in the absence of any mutually agreed-upon plan (because he never wanted to discuss it “now”), I would go off the pill in six months. I kept reminding him of my decision and asking if he wanted to talk about it. He never did. Finally, one morning I told him I was off the pill. He said, “I feel like you are pushing me into this.” I said, “You wouldn’t discuss a plan, so I made one of my own. I’m happy to discuss it with you if you are ready.” He finally decided to talk about it — and we decided on a plan together. My husband’s refusal to talk about things like this was a control issue. As soon as talking was more likely to lead to the outcome he wanted than not talking, he found time to discuss the issue. We are still married, by the way, and have two great kids we both adore. Sometimes you have to find a way to make the issue as important to him as it is to you. — Seattle Mom Dear Mom: I agree.

DARTS AND LAURELS

A disturbing act of cruelty Dart to whoever is responsible for the dead cats and opossum dumped along Leonard Road this week. Anyone who commits this kind of cruelty — most of the animals were shot between the eyes — is in serious need of psychological counseling and may pose a danger to humans, as well as defenseless animals. The line between abusing animals and harming humans is fine, and all too easily crossed. Decades of psychological research has found animal cruelty is often a precursor to other manifestations of violence, including child abuse, spouse abuse and elder abuse. Whoever did this doesn’t just need punishment; they need help. • • • Laurels to the majority of restaurants and bars that are observing the state’s smoking ban. If other counties are seeing as few complaints about repeat violators as have been filed here in Rowan County, the recently enacted law has been a solid success. The next test, however, is likely to play out in court as a Greensboro billiards parlor challenges the law’s exemption for private clubs. The appeals court panel hearing the case should snuff out this attempt to overturn a reasonable law that protects employees as well as customers. Meanwhile, as the judges ponder their decision, the law remains in force and businesses should follow it.

Egypt charts new course Scripps Howard News Service

fter 18 days, Egypt’s dedicated and undaunted demonstrators succeeded in their single goal: Their dictatorial president, Hosni Mubarak, is gone after 30 years in power. His concessions as he sought to cling to office became increasingly desperate: He pledged he wouldn’t run for another term; he pledged his son wouldn’t run to succeed him; he pledged there would be no reprisals if the demonstrators dispersed; he replaced his prime minister and Cabinet; he gave government workers a 5 percent raise; he handed over his powers to the vice president. Finally, Mubarak left town, leaving it to Vice President Omar Suleiman to announce his abrupt abdication. The demonstrators, who had gathered by the hundreds of thousands in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, had succeeded in their goal; unfortunately, it was also their only goal. Unanswered amid their wild celebrations is that most basic of questions: What next? Ideally, the answer to that would be free and fair elections leading to the establishment of a democracy committed to basic human rights, and this, in fact, is U.S. policy. Getting there, however, is likely to be a long, uncertain and unpredictable process. Upon resigning, Mubarak turned over responsibility for running the country, presumably on an interim basis, to the Armed Forces Supreme Council, headed by the defense minister. Egypt is used to military rule; that’s one of its problems. Since the

military ousted a king in 1952, Egypt has had only three rulers, all of them, including Mubarak, military officers, all of them autocratic. For decades, the government has suppressed opposition political parties and prodemocracy groups. There are few institutions in place that are vital to democracy — vibrant political parties, access to broadcast media, campaign laws and an independent judiciary. For 30 years, Mubarak ruled by emergency decree. Repealing that emergency law will be an early test of the new Egypt. The outlawed Muslim Brotherhood is perhaps the best-organized opposition group, but it was only a feeble player in the demonstrations that were almost pointedly non-Islamic. Frequently mentioned as a possible president is Nobel Peace Prize winner Mohamed ElBaradei, but he spent most of his career as a U.S. diplomat outside of Egypt. The leaders of the mass protest, as much as a spontaneous mass outburst can said to be led, are young, computer-savvy liberal activists, the best-known of them, Wael Ghonim, a 30-year-old Google executive. Finally, there is the tough task of dismantling a dictatorship — repealing repressive laws, freeing political prisoners, cleaning up a corrupt and brutal police apparatus, heading off a cycle of reprisals against the old regime, retrieving assets, said to be $20 billion, stashed overseas by the Mubaraks. The demonstrators’ inspiring unity, enthusiasm and nonviolence hold so much promise for the future. Mubarak is finally gone, but for Egypt his departure is only a start.

• • • Dart to a disturbing increase in strokes among young and middle-aged Americans, especially males. Medical experts aren’t certain what’s behind the dramatic increase in numbers, which was reported this week at the American Stroke Association. However, they strongly suspect it’s related to obesity and unhealthy diets, rather than higher awareness of stroke symptoms. It’s noteworthy that trends went the other way among older Americans. While strokes increased among the 15-24 age group, they declined significantly among those 65 and older. Doctors attribute the falling rate to better prevention of high blood pressure and other stroke risk factors. Whether you’re young, old or somewhere in between, it’s clear that diet and exercise have a significant impact on your risk of cardiovascular disease, strokes and related issues.

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. — Carl Jung

Moderately Confused

oday is cold and overcast causing me to feel a bit melancholy. As I walked my two Shih Tzu’s, Snickers and Chance, through the Chestnut Hill Cemetery, I started reading some of the headstones. There was one for a 12-yearold girl named Ruby Lee whose headstone read “God gave us the bud and took the flower.” I chanced upon a second grave of a very young child whose headstone read, “Budded on Earth to bloom in Heaven.” JENNIFER In Nashville, DOERING Don and I came across a grave from an 18year-old young man who died during the Civil War, and on the other side of the tombstone it read, “And here lies his mother, who died of a broken heart.” In Pittsburgh, we came across one tombstone of a 9month-old baby girl whose grave marker said, “We laid you in your silent tomb, sweet blossom of the day, we’d just begun to view your bloom and thou art took away.” Tears still come to our eyes when we read these sorrowful messages, and we wonder how the children’s families were able to live through their grief and heal the holes in their hearts. Don and I have lived in six states and throughout every state; we have walked our dogs around various cemeteries because of our love of history and the beauty surrounding us. Reading these markers elicited from our thoughts a deep empathy toward the families who buried their loved ones. Several generations ago, the majority of young children died because of disease, poverty or poor nutrition, and the older ones died because of war. Thanks to today’s modern medicine, majorities of our children live through their entire childhood and bloom into adults. We send them on their way with an education under their belts, and they go into society with high hopes, eager to make their own contributions. Everywhere in our world today, there is terrible conflict among people because of their differences of religion, politics, and individual wants and needs. There is so much anger and hatred toward each other that killing with shotguns and semiautomatic rifles has become the norm. There are people being killed in drug-related traffic accidents, mass shootings in schools, and bullying on the Internet has resulted in our children committing suicide. Lack of population control is fighting a losing battle to rid our world of hunger. Our world today, despite all of our scientific advances, seems to only have fueled the fires of discord, along with such ambivalence toward other people. Our sons, daughters, mothers, fathers and children have to suffer the loss of the soldiers in their family, fighting to save our freedom and liberty. How, as our society is today, are we able to get on with our lives and fill the holes in our hearts? I have read that people learn from history, but I fear during our last few generations, we have turned a deaf ear toward our past. What will it take for our generation to learn tolerance towards other peoples’ religion, race or philosophies? When will the blast of shotguns be silenced, and our world is enveloped in peace and harmony? How many more wars must be fought before we finally realize the fruitlessness of these battles? When will parents finally be allowed to love their sons and daughters, without the fear of losing them at such a young age? Will the delicate scale between peace and war ever be balanced? I can only hope, deep in my heart, that one day mankind will embrace peace on Earth and that my torn faith in humanity will someday be mended. I, along with millions of other people, I’m sure, long for the day when we can walk through cemeteries and see that people lived to a ripe old age and blossomed here, on Earth, and in Heaven.

LETTERS THE EDITOR

Church program teaches right lessons to youth We would like to say what a pleasure it has been for our grandkids and the other kids we know to have the opportunity to play and be a part of the Upward Basketball/Cheerleading Program sponsored by First Baptist Church of Salisbury. Thanks to First Baptist Church for the purchase of this great facility.

A thirst for Cheerwine I am a Cheerwine lover! It bothers me that there are no Cheerwine drink machines outside of Food Lion grocery stores. In the summertime when I come out of the grocery store, hot and tired, I want a cold can of Cheerwine. I think it’s a shame, with Cheerwine based here in Salisbury, that this is not available. In addition, there aren’t many restaurants here that serve Cheerwine. When my husband asks where I want to go for Sunday lunch after church, my reply is most often “wherever Cheerwine is served!” — Edith Barger Salisbury

y call is very important to them. I know because they’ve told me that 600 times already. When they’re not telling me that, or when they’re not telling me that my phone call may be recorded for “training purposes,” they play some jaunty music, like the theme to a quiz show that never made it past the pilot. A quiz show called: “Can You Get a Live Person on the Customer Service Phone?” Do corporations understand that saying a call is very important to them is different than acting as if a call is very important to them? Just saying it’s very important is like telling your wife: “I love you, honey, that’s why I think this separation JIM will strengthen our relationship.” No, it won't. MULLEN I know all the tricks to get live people on the phone — pretending I don’t have a touch-tone phone. Is there anyone left on the planet who still uses a rotary phone? And if there is, why should they go to the front of the line? If you’re still using a rotary phone, it’s a good bet you aren’t spending every waking moment multitasking on your laptop like the rest of us, feverishly pressing zero to get an operator. Corporations are getting wise to that maneuver, it doesn’t work as well as it used to. Now you have to try pressing the numbersign key when they start announcing numbers. Or sometimes hit the star key and then the numbersign key. Still, none of that will help when the only message you get, after they say your call is very important to them, is “for faster service, visit our website.” My problem was no Internet. How can I go to their website? How can I even find their number to tell them I have a problem? My address book is up in the cloud somewhere. It felt like the old days when you couldn’t call the phone company to tell them that your phone was out of order. The first question the phone person would ask was: “Are you using the phone right now?” Then you’d have to explain you were three houses away, using someone else’s phone. It seems my Internet provider has an unlisted customer service number. I only got it by calling the only number listed for them — the number to call if I wanted to pay my bill. From there I was able to transfer to the number to call if I was moving and from there I learned the number to call to cancel my service and from there I got the number to call if I was a business, which finally gave me a number to call if I had technical problems. Fortyfive minutes later, a human answered the phone. Finally, all my problems will be solved; and it’s about time — I’ve got some very important business to conduct. • • • Jim Mullen is the author of “It Takes a Village Idiot: Complicating the Simple Life” and “Baby’s First Tattoo.” E-mail: jim_mullen@myway.com.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Egypt is freeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;: Mubarak finally surrenders power to military

egyptians celebrate in the streets of cairo after the resignation Friday of egyptian president Hosni Mubarak. revelers turned out across the Middle east after Mubarak stepped down. From Beirut to Gaza, tens of thousands handed out candy, set off ďŹ reworks and unleashed celebratory gunďŹ re.

CAIRO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cries of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Egypt is freeâ&#x20AC;? rang out and fireworks lit up the sky as hundreds of thousands danced, wept and prayed in joyful pandemonium Friday after 18 days of peaceful pro-democracy protests forced President Hosni Mubarak to surrender power to the military, ending three decades of authoritarian rule. Ecstatic protesters in Cairoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tahrir, or Liberation, Square hoisted soldiers onto their shoulders and families posed for pictures in front of tanks in streets flooded with people celebrating. Chants of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hold your heads high, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Egyptianâ&#x20AC;? roared with each burst of fireworks overhead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 21 years old and this is the first time in my life I feel free,â&#x20AC;? an ebullient Abdul-Rahman Ayyash, born eight years after Mubarak came to power, said as he hugged fellow protesters in Tahrir Square. An astonishing day in which hundreds of thousands marched on Mubarakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s palaces in Cairo and Alexandria and besieged state TV was capped by the military effec-

tively carrying out a coup at the pleas of protesters. After Mubarakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fall, the military, which pledged to shepherd reforms for greater democracy, told the nation it would announce the next steps soon. Those could include the dissolving of parliament and creation of a transitional government. Up to the last hours, Mubarak sought to cling to power, handing some of his authorities to his newly appointed Vice President SULEIMAN Omar Suleiman while keeping his title. But an explosion of protests Friday rejecting the move appeared to have pushed the military into forcing him out completely. Suleiman â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who appears to have lost his vice presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s post as well in the military takeover â&#x20AC;&#x201D; appeared grim as he delivered the short announcement on state TV

that Mubarak was stepping down. The 82-year-old leaderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downfall after the biggest popular uprising in the modern history of the Arab world had stunning implications for the United States and the West, Israel, and the region, unsettling rulers across the Mideast. The question for Washington now is how will the Arab worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most populous state make the rocky transition to democracy. At the White House, President Barack Obama said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Egyptians have inspired us.â&#x20AC;? He noted the important questions that lay ahead, but said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m confident the people of Egypt can find the answers.â&#x20AC;? Mubarakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fall came 32 years to the day after the collapse of the shahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government in Iran, the prime example of a revolution that turned to Islamic militancy. About 300 people were killed in the course of the turmoil. Police attacked the first protests with water cannons and gunfire and then a force of regime supporters â&#x20AC;&#x201D;believed to be paid thugs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; tried unsuccessfully to dislodge protesters.

CAUQUENES, Chile (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A magnitude6.8 earthquake struck central Chile, centered in almost exactly the same spot where last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magnitude-8.8 quake spawned a tsunami and devastated coastal communities. Electricity and phone service were disrupted and thousands of people fled to higher ground following Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quake, but the government quickly announced that there was no risk of a tsunami, and there were no reports of damage or injuries. President Sebastian Pinera appealed for calm and praised his government and Chileans in general for responding quickly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re better prepared,â&#x20AC;?

Schwarzenegger wrote on Twitter that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready to start considering film roles again. The former governor tweeted Thursday night: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Exciting news. My friends at CAA have been asking me for 7 years when they can take offers seriously. Gave them the green light today.â&#x20AC;? Creative Artists Agency is a leading Hollywood talent agency. Schwarzeneggerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal aide, Daniel Ketchell, confirmed the tweet.

25-year-old bald eagle among oldest ever documented in wild ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Kodiak Island bald eagle survived 25 years of Alaska hazards but met an unfortunate fate last month on the crossbar of a utility pole: electrocution. A band attached to its leg showed the bird to be the second-oldest bald eagle documented in Alaska and one of the oldest in the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be, based on the bird-banding record that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen, one of the top 10 oldest birds ever recorded,â&#x20AC;? said Robin Corcoran, a wildlife biologist from the Kodiak Island National Wildlife Refuge. The eagleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death was first reported by the Kodiak Daily Mirror. The death was of high interest to raptor biologists, who have no other way besides recovered bands to confirm the age of mature wild eagles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once they reach that full adult stage â&#x20AC;&#x201D; white head, brown body, white tail â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any idea how old they are,â&#x20AC;? said Steve Lewis, coordinator of raptor management for the Alaska region of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The oldest eagle documented in the country was a 32-year-old bird from Maine. Alaskaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest recorded eagle was a 28-year-old from the Chilkat Valley outside Haines.

Home therapy, high-tech rehab both fine for stroke patients LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The largest study ever on stroke rehabilitation found that doing physical therapy at home improved walking just as well as a high-tech treadmill program. More surprising, patients who started rehab late â&#x20AC;&#x201D; six months after their strokes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; still improved. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long been thought that there was little to gain from rehab after half a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We now have evidence, for the first time, that a prolonged course of therapy will have benefits,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Jeffrey Saver, director of the stroke center at the University of California, Los Angeles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For virtually everyone, we should be doing more intensive therapy than we are.â&#x20AC;? He had no role in the federally funded study, which was led by Duke University researchers. Each year, nearly 800,000 Americans suffer a stroke, and up to two-thirds of survivors have problems walking. Sophisticated machines like robots and weight-supporting treadmills increasingly are being used, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s limited research on how well they work compared to more traditional therapy.

3 charged in bottle-redemption scam from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Seinfeldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; era PORTLAND, Maine (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A memorable â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seinfeldâ&#x20AC;? episode features Kramer and Newman taking thousands of cans and bottles to Michigan so they can get a nickel more per container than they would in New York, but beverage distributors say thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing funny when it happens for real. In Maine, which has a more expansive bottle-redemption law than neighboring states, three people have been accused of illegally cashing in more than 100,000 out-of-state bottles and cans for deposits, the first time criminal charges have been filed in the state over bottle-refund fraud, a prosecutor said. A couple that runs a Maine redemption center and a Massachusetts man were indicted for allegedly redeeming beverage containers in Maine that were bought in other states. Thomas and Megan Woodard, who run Green Bee Redemption in Kittery, face the more serious charge of allegedly passing off more than 100,000 out-of-state containers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a value of more than $10,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as if they had been purchased in Maine.

The 737 jetliner returned to the terminal and passengers and crew boarded another plane about 90 minutes later. The plane wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be returned to service until maintenance workers make sure the rat didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t damage equipment or chew any wires â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and an exterminator certifies the plane is rodent-free.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; First-term Republican conservatives claimed victory Friday after forcing their own leadership to expand a package of spending cuts headed for debate on the House floor next week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;$100 billion is $100 billion is $100 billion,â&#x20AC;? said Rep. Tim Scott R-S.C., referring to amount the revised package would cut from President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget request of a year ago. That was the amount contained in the Republican â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pledge to Americaâ&#x20AC;? in last fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign, and when party leaders initially suggested a smaller package of cuts this week, many of the 87-member freshman class who have links to the tea party rebelled. In fact, even some Republicans acknowledged privately the legislation will cut about $61 billion from current spending on domestic spending. No details were immediately available. The earlier draft legislation had called for termination of at least 60 federal programs and cuts in hundreds more.

Gas prices highest ever for this time of year NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. gasoline prices have jumped to the highest levels ever for the middle of February. The national average hit $3.127 per gallon on Friday, about 50 cents above a year ago. The price is about 6 percent higher than on this date in 2008. The next day, pump prices began a string of 32 gains over 34 days. They rose 39 percent over five months, eventually hitting an all-time high of $4.11 per gallon in July. Although gas prices are expected to rise, most experts aren’t expecting a reprise of 2008, when the price spike forced many drivers to join car pools and trade in gas-guzzling SUVs for fuel-efficient cars. “It would be a mistake to think we’re go-

ment tool, Salisbury can attract new businesses and create jobs, he said. While broadband itself may not lure a company, a firm looking at two or three locations equal in all other categories may choose Salisbury because of Fibrant. Fibrant can aid in what Settles termed “personal economic development,” or harnessing an individual’s ability to create and sustain his or her own economic status. While unemployment remains high, some existing jobs are going unfilled because skill sets of the unemployed don’t measure up. Broadband can help people improve their skills through education by providing a powerful pipeline directly to colleges and universities around the globe, Settles said. He suggested the city partner with community colleges and universities, as well as coming up with a program to teach people to be entrepreneurs, including bookkeeping, marketing and how best to use the Internet for business. Settles said most economic developers believe the minimum Internet speed necessary for personal economic development in three years will be 100 megabits per second, a speed Fibrant offers now. Many people will sign up for Fibrant for a better TV picture, Settles said. The city shouldn’t stop there. “TV is the hook, but not the endpoint,” he said. The city can teach TV watchers to use Fibrant’s Internet service to build personal wealth, he said. With each increase in income, residents contribute more to society, he said. President Barack Obama advocated broadband in his recent State of the Union address. But Settles takes issue with Washington’s suggestion that Internet speeds of 4 megabits per second are adequate for rural America, much slower than speeds the government is recom-

mending for urban centers. “You’ve got to have 100 megabits,” Settles said. Customers can buy up to 200 Mbps from Fibrant, and officials say they plan to keep increasing the speed. That will tap the upper reaches of the fiber network’s capabilities, Settles said, which was a better choice than a wireless network. “Fiber is always the better option than wireless,” Settles said. “Wireless is not going to produce the speed necessary to keep you on the leading edge.” Broadband can learn a lesson from the disappointing municipal wireless movement six years ago, he said. Advocates weren’t realistic about the capabilites of wireless and hyped the technology until the public’s expectations could not be met. When wireless couldn’t deliver, people blamed government and said the failures proved cities shouldn’t play the technology game, Settles said.

But in reality, the majority of failed community wi-fi systems were run by business, not government, he said. The wi-fi experience casts a shadow today on municipal broadband and fuels some critics of fiber. Salisbury must work to correct that misperception, Settles said. He urged city leaders and residents to continue fighting efforts by cable companies to block or severerly restrict new municipal broadband networks. N.C. legislators repeatedly have introduced bills to limit municipal broadband. None have been successful, but Settles said they will try again. Although any legislation aimed at municipal broadband likely would not affect Fibrant because it’s up and running, “there are people who want to see this network fail,” Settles said. “If they have money and influence, who will make it succeed?” That, he said, is up to Salisbury.

He says oil demand will slide in the U.S. by May, as refineries slow fuel production while they switch to summer blends of gas. World oil consumption also may not rise as much as expected. And Kloza contends that oil traders are more cautious now, after getting burned when oil plunged to $33 per barrel in early 2009, just six months after hitting $147 per barrel. Even the most bullish traders no longer think they can chase commodity prices higher without risk, he says. Still, Kloza expects gas to reach $3.50 to $3.75 per gallon this spring because of the usual run-up in prices ahead of the summer driving season.

film that starred the Democrats’ 2000 presidential hopeful, Vice President Al Gore. “Two years ago, this new president faced an economic crisis and an increasingly uncertain world; an uncertain world has been made more dangerous by the lack of clear direction from a weak president,” Romney said. Sen. John Thune of South Dakota said concerns about a nuclear-armed Iran and Islamic extremists are overshadowed by worries about Obama’s handling of those threats. “The only thing more alarming than these threats is the president’s weak response. We can’t win a peace with apologies and reset buttons,” said Thune, who is contemplating a presidential bid but has yet to lay the groundwork to start a full-fledged campaign. Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, too, joined the field criticizing the president, invoking Obama’s comments as a candidate that some voters bitterly clung to guns and religion as a way of explaining those who didn’t support him in 2008. The annual gathering of more than 11,000 conservatives marked the unofficial start of the GOP presidential nomination fight. No Republican has announced his or her candidacy so far.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans angling for President Barack Obama’s job compared him to a one-term Democratic president and a Democratic vice president who fell short in his bid to win the presidency. Appearing before conservatives who hold huge sway in the GOP presidential nomination fight, a stream of wouldbe GOP candidates called Obama weak and suggested they alone possess the talents needed to beat him and lead a country in crisis. In unrelenting attacks on Obama, the lineup of potential contenders took on the president’s economic team, his advisers and even the first lady’s vegetable garden. They did little to mask their disdain for the man they hope to replace. “Ladies and gentleman: Barack Obama is not behaving like Ronald Reagan. He’s behaving like Jimmy Carter,” former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty said, likening Obama to the incumbent president Reagan defeated in 1980 amid foreign policy and economic crises. “President Obama has stood watch over the greatest job loss in modern American history. And that, my friends, is one inconvenient truth that will haunt this president throughout history,” Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney said, linking Obama with the

SALISBURY POST

Bilingual in the buckle of the Bible Belt tell people that I don’t belong to any organized religion, I’m a Baptist. I haven’t always been a Baptist. My family was from sturdy Scottish stock and apparently there is some unwritten rule that we all must at least start our lives as Presbyterians. But in my teenage ROD years I jumped the KERR sacred ship. I became a Baptist. My Presbyterian peers would tell me that with that move I raised the IQ of both denominations considerably. My Baptist brethren said, while that may be true, I certainly lowered the moral standard in theirs. I’d like to say I became a Baptist for some deep theological and well-thought-out reason. The truth is that it was for the girls. As a young buck I developed what I thought was some great insight into the relationship between potential dates and religious denominations. Presbyterian princesses were smart; Methodist maidens were very quiet and self-conscious. Catholic queens were too sneaky and my best friend, being Lutheran, seemed to be dating all the available girls in that fold. Pentecostal girls were just way too wild. I didn’t know any Episcopalian girls. We lived on the wrong side of the tracks for that. But Baptist girls — they were the prettiest. When I met the girl that I fled my childhood faith for, she was a mixture of all the best. She was smart; still is. I tell people she knows all there is to know, and I know the rest. She was talented – could sing like a bird. She was social, which meant a great deal to a painfully introverted country boy. And she was, and still is, pretty. To me she was a dream come true. To her I was a mission project…heck, a whole mission field! It wasn’t too long into my new faith journey when I was called to meet with some leaders from the Holy City – no, not the Vatican – Nashville and the Sunday School Board, as it was called at that time. Because of some interest and training in family therapy I was asked to help train church leaders in family ministry. When I asked them why they had chosen someone so young in their denomination for such a delicate task they said something like “We like to keep our friends close and our…” then their voices trailed off at that point. It was there I learned the rudiments of what I now call the “mother tongue.” I had been accustomed to speaking English, at least as close as I could learn in the rural south. But it was there in the inner sanctum of the Ridgecrest Baptist Conference Center and Reformatory that I learned a new language. It is not that Baptists have different words; it is just that they use the words everyone else uses, but in a different way. Let me explain. When a Baptist comes up to you and says “Let me SHARE something with you” that means you are not going to get a chance to talk. When they say

Maj. Carol Yeager is shown here at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, where she fulfills her duty as an Air Force reservist one weekend a month. Yeager served a four-month deployment and was recently named the Reserve Officers Association Chaplain of the Year for 2010.

Chaplain of the Year Maj. Carol Yeager, pastor of Luther’s Lutheran Church and Air Force reservist, receives national honor BY KATIE SCARVEY kscarvey@salisburypost.com

haplain Major Carol Yeager was named the Reserve Officers Association (ROA) Chaplain of the Year for 2010 during the organization’s National Security Symposium in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 31. The annual award is given to a chaplain who has made a significant impact in the military and the local community, Yeager says. Yeager was informed in October that she was a contender for the award and was requested to submit additional information. She found out in December that she had been named the nominee for the Air Force Reserve Command, and in December, sometimes around Christmas, she received word that she had been selected to receive the award. She remembers she had just finished her workout at the Salisbury Y — she teaches Zumba there — and was sitting in her car in the parking lot when the phone call came. Going to the conference, she says, was a great opportunity to meet with her “brothers and sisters” in the different services, she said. Yeager’s family accompanied her: husband Greg Yeager, who is pastor at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in China Grove; son Sam, a junior at Carson High School, and daughter Abby, an 8th grader at Southeast Middle School. “I didn’t do it alone,” Yeager says. “I had to have the support of my family, the church and the community, who helped my family while I was deployed.” Yeager, who is pastor at Luther’s Lutheran Church in Richfield, continues to be an active reservist, traveling every month to Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in New Hope and doing an annual tour that lasts for several weeks. Yeager has been in the reserve since 2005. She entered the military right after college, serving 10 years as an active duty line officer. She then went to seminary and in 2005 joined the Air Force Reserves as a chaplain. In 2009, she was deployed to an Air Force base in southwest Asia — a location she can’t disclose — where she worked 12hour days, six days a week, for four months, serving a population of about 10,000. She was responsible for the base’s Protestant programming, which included more

than 20 small group studies and eight worship services every weekend. She completed that deployment early in 2010. Back here in the states, she’s spent the last two summers working with a chaplain candidate program, training and evaluating about 30 seminary students each summer who want to be chaplains. Although she’s still an active reservist, she hopes to stay put for a while. “At this point, I’ve committed to my church and my family that I won’t volunteer for any deployments,” she says. Still, if she were to be deployed, “you adjust and go,” she says. “My husband says, ‘We’re a military family, and that’s what military families do.’ It’s not always easy, but it’s necessary.” Yeager met her husband, Greg, in Okinawa, Japan, in a Bible study in 1991. Greg Yeager was a Marine pilot. While she’s proud to have been named Chaplain of the Year, Yeager says that she’s “not doing anything different than the other chaplains,” and adds that her service wouldn’t have been possible without all the support that she received from “everybody else

“We’re not just there to provide a worship service. The constitution guarantees everyone the free exercise of their faith. We are there to stand up for that. Sometimes that means I have to support someone of a different faith than me... I can’t be a Catholic priest or a rabbi or an imam, but I can be there to say ‘What do you need?’ and ‘How can we help you to continue to practice your faith in a military environment so you can be spiritually sound and fit?’” CHAPLAIN MAJ. CAROL YEAGER on her role as chaplain

along the line.” Because she’s been on active duty and in “the operational world,” Yeager says she’s better able to understand what people in the military are going through. “I know what it’s like to fly on an airplane for 12 hours. I understand the stresses. Some of our folks are gone away from home for the majority of the year. I’ve had times were I’ve been gone a lot, and I understand that,” says Yeager, who mentions that she missed her daughter’s first fatherdaughter dance — but was happy when a neighbor stepped up to

help her daughter do her hair. Understanding the realities of military duty helps Yeager to “reach out to people and be a better chaplain,” she believes. Some of Yeager’s accomplishments were developing programs ‘to make sure family members of those on duty were being supported. That includes maintaining contact with spouses, parents and fiances, Yeager says. “We try to coordinate so that these family members get several phone calls or letters from us each month,” she says. It helps for people back home to simply know that they’re being thought of, she says. Sometimes the loved ones left at home don’t understand the stresses of service, she says. “They’re sitting there at home, thinking, ‘Why can’t he call or email?’ And they don’t understand that their loved one may be working 12-14 hours a day and not have time to stop to do that.” Yeager notes that civilian communities can make a real difference in the lives of reservists and national guardsmen. “I love being deployed, but taking care of the family members at home is just as important,” she says. Yeager notes that the three main roles of the Air Force chaplain are to glorify God, to serve the airmen, and to advise leadership. “We’re not just there to provide a worship service,” she says. “The constitution guarantees everyone the free exercise of their faith. We are there to stand up for that. Sometimes that means I have to support someone of a different faith than me. I can’t be a Catholic priest or a rabbi or an imam, but I can be there to say ‘What do you need?’ and ‘How can we help you to continue to practice your faith in a military environment so you can be spiritually sound and fit?’”

Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

“BROTHER (or sister)” — and they have just met you — “let me SHARE something with you” — that means you are not going to get to talk and it is going to take a long time for them to say what they want to say. And when they say “BROTHER, let me SHARE something with you IN LOVE”…you need to run as fast as you can. That particular phrase means you are not going to get a chance to talk, it’s going to take them a long time to say it and it’s going to hurt like the dickens when they do. But it’s not just the way they (or now “we”) use words. Sometimes it’s the words themselves. When we talk about “fellowship” — that means somebody is going to get something to eat. A “hymn service” is when the preacher got too busy to write a sermon. And a “season of prayer” sometimes really seems to last as long as it sounds. I was walking down the hall in a church one time following two of our seasoned saints. I noticed the longer they talked, the quieter they got and the closer together they walked. I knew what they were doing. See, Baptists don’t gossip. They do sometimes “share prayer requests” as in “Ya’ll pray for sister Margie; she’s run off with brother Jim.” We don’t brag either, we ask for prayer — “Ya’ll pray for me, I just won $1,000 and I don’t know what to do with it.” The sting is not in the request; it’s just that you had hoped that God would have “burdened” you in such a manner. We call our ministers “pastors.” I’m sure at one time it had some reference to shepherding but the term has lost most of its meaning in our more urban cultural context. It’s just confusing now. It certainly was for the woman who brought her prized cow to the local parish down the road because she heard the church had a new “pasture.” It’s not just how we use our words that make us, as the Good Book says, “peculiar treasures.” It’s sometimes how we conduct ourselves. Some of our churches are known for our somewhat, let’s just say, difficult discussions. I believe I have discovered why we do that. You see, Baptists have traditionally been a rural denomination, lots of good, honest — though some-

enough to know that no one tradition can contain the Eternal. We do have a different language — I know that the Presbyterians do too, as do the Methodists, Episcopalians, Catholics, Pentecostals and Lutherans have their way of speaking. But they all cut to the heart when they speak that common talk — the language of love. It’s in those murmurings of mercy, those conversations of compassion, those groanings of grace and those dialects of the Divine that you can hear something that goes beyond words.

times very poor — folks. We don’t have a lot of money to pay for entertainment. So we entertain ourselves. That’s what we call “business meetings.” Maybe it’s not so much what we say about God that’s as important as what He says about us: “You are precious in my eyes and honored and I love you”(Isaiah 43:4). Maybe it’s not so much how petty our prayers can sometimes be. I guess it takes a big God to stoop down to our smallness. Maybe it’s not so much what we say about our own particular faith. It may be important that we are humble

He knows what we need, and beyond that, He knows what we want, and beyond that, it is his good pleasure to bless his children...immensely. I know that we’ve all been through rough times, and I know that we’re probably not out of the woods yet, but I also know without a doubt that God, my God, has my back...and it will turn out better than just all right.

OK, so many of you know I’ve been out of work for almost two years now...and my unemployment insurance is almost my ex-unemployment insurance. No job has come my way. Formerly, I was a corporate structural materials marketing and design expert — and with the housing industry GORDON FURR in the tank, there is little need for a guy like me. The bills are just as large as they were before being laid off, but hopes of maintaining a life like we had are just tough to come by. Like many of you, I could stand a lift, a touch, a sign ... that God is watching, and

The next morning, FIRST THING, the very next morning, I received an e-mail from a very nice lady with whom I had spoken months earlier about some guitar strings, and even though she was selling them at a great deal, I ended up not being able to afford them. Well, this e-mail was different. She had just decided to get out of the string retailing business and wanted to know if I wanted her strings...all her strings....THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS’ WORTH OF STRINGS ... and not just the strings. Included would be the rack of furniture that she had to organize them, mailing tubes to ship them in, the whole thing. Now there are regular guitar strings in the batch, bronze guitar strings in the batch, classical guitar strings in the batch, bass guitar strings in the batch, banjo strings in the batch, mandolin strings in the batch. Who knows what else is in the batch? Well, there was one more thing. She wanted to give these to me. For FREE.

I have two such pairs of socks right now, one dark, one light). Then I thought to myself that he was asking for me to tell him something I would enjoy rather than something just desperately needed.

FA I T H

The swastika:

Getting out of your sackcloth

Symbol of evil or good fortune? hen we published a story and photos last week in the Faith section about a Buddhist temple in Kannapolis, I didn’t anticipate any real controversy, even here in the Bible belt. In my experience, most people are fairly tolerant of the religious beliefs of others, at least publicly. But apparently, the golden Buddha photo, one of the many photographs by Sean Meyers accompanying the story, had some people stirred up, or at least wondering. KATIE I fielded a few eSCARVEY mails and phone calls. One man wondered why we hadn’t cropped the photo to eliminate the swastika on Buddha’s chest. It was also suggested that I inform myself about gang signs. The idea that Buddha is flashing a gang sign seems pretty ludicrous. Even if Buddha’s hand position is similar to a gang sign, well....so what? I’m pretty sure Buddha was not acquainted with the Bloods and the Crips, and I’m equally sure the Bloods and the Crips aren’t paying much attention to Buddhism, which is too bad. If gangs start flashing praying hands, will we then need to abandon those as a Christian symbol? Do we abandon the cross as a symbol because a few morons express hatred by burning it on people’s lawns? The few people who got in touch with me seemed more concerned about the swastika, however. The symbol did not, as some people seem to assume, spring from the drafting board of a Third Reich artist charged with creating the Nazi brand. No, its history goes back long before the Nazis co-opted it and stripped it of its benevolent meaning, at least for many. After doing a little casual research, I discovered that “swastika” comes from a Sanskrit word meaning good fortune, luck, well being. The symbol dates back thousands of years, and it’s found worldwide, but particularly in India. You can find the swastika in much art, including that of the Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Celts and native Americans. I’ve even read that it was used as an early Christian

as the Lord taken you out of your sackcloth? Have you put on the new garments of the Lord? Has the Lord ever given you anything to shout and rejoice over? Has He given you His NETA joy? MONROE If we do not sing the praises of the Lord God now while we are here on this earth, then how will anyone know what He has done for us? We can not sing His praises from the grave. Who would hear them? ”You have turned my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, to the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever” (Psalm 30: 11-12). David sang songs and praises to the Lord for everything in His life. God said David was a man after His own heart. He found much favor and delight in David. Can we say the same of ourselves? Has the Lord God found much favor and delight in our lives, in our every day attitudes? David was human and was not perfect; he did mess up. Read 2 Samuel 11. But he came back to the Lord seeking his face and worshiping him (2 Samuel 12). We are human as well and we will mess up now and again, but to know that the Lord God has got

Nazi swastika

Sean MeyerS

Buddhist swastika symbol. Did you know that Catawba College’s yearbook was originally named The Swastika after a Native American design pattern found in the original tile of the Hedrick Administration building? The name was changed to “Sayakini” in 1941, for obvious reasons. The swastika is, however, still frequently used in Hinduism, Jainism and, yes, Buddhism. I’m not Buddhist, and this may be oversimplifying, but in Buddhism, the swastika is a sign of good fortune. It should also be pointed out that the Nazi swastika is at a slant (a 45-degree angle), distinguishing it from most swastikas that are flat and therefore grounded. The Nazi swastika, then, doesn’t have a leg to stand on, which seems appropriate. Of course I realize that when no context is given, most of us will think of Nazi Germany when we see a swastika. But if it’s in a different context — say on the chest of Buddha — then it should be seen within that context. I have read that some Buddhist groups have chosen not to use the symbol, an acknowledgement of the negative connotations it has acquired. Others, however, have not abandoned tradition and continue to use the swastika as a

Hindu swastika positive symbol. The temple in Kannapolis is, we can assume, in this group. As far as the suggestion of cropping the picture, well, photographers who are as skillful as Sean Meyers don’t really appreciate their photos being altered, since the images they submit have already been carefully cropped if need be, according to their own aesthetic sensibilities. Plus, I don’t believe that the Buddhist temple in Kannapolis needs me to censor its religious images on the chance that someone will be offended. In hindsight, of course, I realized I should have included a brief explanation with that particular photo about what the swastika means in the Buddhist tradition. I’m sorry I didn’t think to do that.

Become Informed...Get Involved!

our back when we do, gives us such peace that we will want to rejoice and praise His name all the day long. He is not giving us permission to sin just because He has forgiven us, but we will not want to sin once we truly connect ourselves to Him as joint heirs to the throne. But, alas, we are human and we will at times miss the mark. But it is what we do when this happens that will determine just what sort of relationship we really do have with Him. How can we live this life to the fullest praising Him for all His blessings toward us? Do you need to change your garment of praise? Do you need to shed the sackcloth and put on a new garment? How can we take off the sackcloth we have been wearing? By meditating on his word and keeping his words in our heart at all times. When we praise and worship him, he clothes us in gladness. I like to read the Psalms and Proverbs each day. It gives me wisdom and understanding of how God wants me to live. If you will read five chapters in Psalm and one chapter in Proverbs each day you will begin to see what it is God wants for you in this life. Start your day off with His words before you listen to anyone else's words and life will be easier throughout each day. AMEN! Stay in the word!

Chronic ear drainage needs diagnosis Dear Dr. Gott: I have had an ear problem for approximately two years. My ear built up with fluid. A tube was inserted. Now my ear continues to drain a clear fluid, like when your nose runs. When I wake up, it is full of liquid. After turning over, it drains out. I have been to four doctors without any help. Dear Reader: Several things can cause chronic ear drainage, but without further details, I cannot begin to guess what the cause of yours may be. You don’t mention if you have any other ymptoms. DR. PETER sWhy did your GOTT ear first build up with fluid? Did you have an ear infection? Do you have any loss of hearing? Pain? Is the fluid crystal clear, or is there some cloudiness to it? Is there any blood present or an odor? Which ear does it occur in, or does it affect both? Do you have headaches, dizziness or blurred vision? Do you have any skin disorders or other medical problems? Are you currently taking any medications — prescription, herbal or over-the-counter? Does it occur every day? Several times a day? Does anything make it better or worse? All of these are important questions that need to be answered before a proper diagnosis can be made and treatment provided. You also don’t mention what type of doctors you have

been seeing. I assume that at least one was an ear-nose-andthroat specialist because a tube was inserted at the beginning of your symptoms. Have you seen other ENTs? A neurologist? Internist or general practitioner? Have any of the four physicians done thorough examinations to include blood work and imaging studies, such as a CT scan or MRI of your head and neck? Because I don’t have the answers to any of these, I can only offer some general information about potential causes. The most common is wax. Earwax, however, is not clear. It is typically yellow or brownish. Another common cause is ear infection. This can be chronic but is often associated with some degree of pain and yellow, pus-like drainage. Some may experience partial or total hearing loss in the affected ear. Allergies can be another cause. This is often seen with other allergy symptoms, such as nasal congestion and itchy, watery eyes. Allergies to metals, such as those present in earrings, can result in ear drainage not associated with seasonal or environmental allergies. These may present with ear redness, itching, swelling and/or a clear, watery discharge. Skin disorders, such as eczema, that affect the ear canal can also present in a similar manner. Tumors or cancer near the ear or within it can cause an ear discharge; however, this is rare and often is accompanied by ear pain and hearing loss. Finally, a CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) leak can be a cause. This, also, is rare and

most often occurs because of trauma to the head. It often presents with headaches, dizziness and other distressing symptoms. As you can see, there are many causes, and the above are just a few. I suggest you seek out the help of an earnose-and-throat specialist, perhaps one associated with a teaching hospital or university, for a complete examination and testing. Dear Dr. Gott: This is in response to the writer diagnosed with GERD and a hiatal hernia who questioned taking omeprazole. Several years ago, I suffered with the same symptoms and the same diagnosis. Medication did not help me, and finally, after a CT scan, gallstones were discovered. I had laparoscopic surgery to remove my gallbladder and repair the hernia. I have not had any problems since. Dear Reader: When gallstones form, they can cause a blockage that may cause bile to build up, leading to inflammation and/or pain. The pain can often be confused with that caused by stomach acid. Surgery to repair a hiatal hernia is fairly straightforward. Essentially, a portion of the stomach is wrapped around the hiatus in an attempt to strengthen the muscle and prevent the backwash of acid into the esophagus. I am pleased to hear of your continued success. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books. His website is www.AskDrGottMD.com. United FeatUre Syndicate

Saturday, Feb. 12 Certain confidential information you become privy to could play a significant role in bettering your affairs in the year ahead. Keep your eyes and ears open, because what you learn could be momentous in furthering your ambitions. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Even if you’re not in the mood to socialize, as the day wears on, there is a good chance you’ll change your mind. Some kind of social involvement might become meaningful to you later on. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Family and friends might have a difficult time trying to keep something secret from you. The urge to investigate is likely to be too powerful to ignore, and your nose will sniff it out. Aries (March 21-April 19) — This could be an especially fun day for you if you spend your free time with friends who share similar interests. Limit your pals to those who think like you do. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — The financial return from a commercial endeavor might not mean as much to you as the pride of accomplishment. It is likely to supersede anything profit can offer. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Those you consider to be your peers in your field of endeavor will be the ones who’ll put the most significance on your thinking and/or ideas. One you least expect will follow you to the letter. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Keep any project or idea you have going to yourself when out in public with friends. There is a possibility someone nearby who is listening knows your competition and would tell all. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Something of substance can come from a conversation you’ll have with a person who possesses knowledge you could use to further a dream of yours. Be prepared to take notes. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Sometimes it pays to act in harmony with your hunches, and today might be one of those times, especially if it is career-related. Your idea has every chance of working. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — It’s a good thing you kept the lines of communications open with a good friend because there’s a chance you might hear from him/her about something that could be worth a lot to you. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Several solutions can be found when you take the time to focus on a domestic problem you’ve been trying to resolve. Try them all, you’ll find out which one would work best. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — There is a good chance something far more interesting than what you already have planned could become an option. If you keep your plans flexible, you’ll be able to choose. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — If something gets broken, see if you can repair it before simply throwing it out. You’ll feel good about yourself when you find little ways to economize. United FeatUre Syndicate

The ruff forks up a quandary BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

It is ideal if you can find a line of play that gives the defenders no chance. We had one example earlier this week; here is another. How would you plan the play in six spades after West leads the club queen? West used the Unusual No-trump, showing at least 5-5 in the two lowest-ranking unbid suits. North jumped into Blackwood. East, showing no regard for vulnerability, bid five clubs in the hope that his opponents had not agreed on how to show aces after interference. However, this pair was prepared, using DOPI: double zero, pass one, first step two, and so on. When South bid five diamonds, he was showing two aces. South took the first trick

with dummy’s club king and discarded a diamond from his hand. He drew trumps ending in his hand, then led his second low diamond. However, West did not err. He won with his ace and returned a diamond. Now declarer had to lose a heart to go down one. It is possible to make the contract if you take the first trick on the board and discard a heart, but it requires perfect card-reading (which, admittedly, is easier given West’s overcall). However, there is a much better line, which just assumes that West has the diamond ace. South should play low from the dummy at trick one and ruff in his hand. He then draws trumps and leads a low diamond from his hand. How can West defend? If he wins with his ace,

dummy’s heart loser disappears on South’s diamond queen. And if West ducks, declarer wins with dummy’s king and discards his other two diamonds on the top clubs to lose only one heart.

Colbert takes to the waves NEW YORK (AP) — Stephen Colbert is taking on the sea. The comedian announced Friday that he will embark on the biennial OnDeck Charleston Bermuda Race on May 11. Colbert and crew will sail a 65-foot racing yacht on the 777-mile race from his native Charleston, S.C., to Bermuda. The “Colbert Report” host plans to make the adventure a focal point on his show, treating it with far more bombast than Captain Ahab

ever did. Colbert says in a statement: “The ocean has had a free ride too long. Well, it has to deal with me now. Brace yourself, Atlantic!” The 46-year-old has competed in the race once before, in 2005 shortly before the “Colbert Report” premiered. The race is presented by sailing company OnDeck in partnership with the South Carolina Maritime Foundation and the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club.

Ugly cell towers may be replaced by little cubes Geezer bandit or thug in a mask?

NEW YORK (AP) — As cell phones have spread, so have large cell towers — those unsightly stalks of steel topped by transmitters and other electronics that sprouted across the country over the last decade. Now the wireless industry is planning a future without them, or at least without many more of them. Instead, it’s looking at much smaller antennas, some tiny enough to hold in a hand. These could be placed on lampposts, utility poles and buildings — virtually anywhere with electrical and network connections. If the technology overcomes some hurdles, it could upend the wireless industry and offer seamless service, with fewer dead spots and faster data speeds. Some big names in the wireless world are set to demonstrate “small cell” technologies at the Mobile World Congress, the world’s largest cell phone trade show, which starts Monday in Barcelona, Spain. “We see more and more towers that associated press become bigger and bigger, with more Wim sweldens, the president of alcatel-Lucent’s wireless division, holds a lightraand bigger antennas that come to ob- dio cube, which is a small cell-phone antenna that can be installed on lamp posts, struct our view and clutter our landscape buildings, and other places that can’t accommodate a full-sized antenna. and are simply ugly,” said Wim Sweldens, president of the wireless divi- er “cells,” each one served by something work has been hammered by an onsion of Alcatel-Lucent, the French-U.S. like the cube antenna, go far beyond es- slaught of data-hungry iPhone users, and maker of telecommunications equip- thetics.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Entrepreneurs are printing surveillance shots of his wrinkled face on T-shirts, thousands of people “Like” him on Facebook and many are wishing him continued success at evading the law. To his legion of fans, the “Geezer Bandit” is a bankrobbing old man with a quirky nickname whose popularity only seems to grow with each heist. But authorities trying to track him down say there is nothing light hearted about the doddering robber. They say he is an armed and dangerous menace who leaves bank tellers terrified and could strike at any time. He might even be someone younger disguised under a lifelike special-effects mask. In a region the FBI has dubbed the bank robbery capital of the world, where stickups still occur on an almost daily basis, the “Geezer Bandit” case has captured the public’s interest like few others in recent memory. And for now at least, the aging robber is showing no signs of retiring. On Jan. 28, authorities say the blazer-clad geezer struck at a Bank of America branch in Goleta, a city northwest of Los Angeles. Witnesses estimated him to be between 60 and 70 years old. It was the farthest he’d roamed from San Diego County, where he is suspected of robbing 11 banks starting in August 2009. He is also believed to have robbed a Bank of America in Bakersfield, bringing the total tally to 13. A typical posting on one of the two Facebook pages set up to honor the crook exhorts him to “Run Geezer Run!” One frequent commentator, Kenny Walsh, said he is pleased to see a robber targeting Bank of America. “Talk about a bunch of crooks glad to see you got some of the american people’s money back,” he wrote. Hoping to make a quick

the ‘Geezer Bandit’ has drawn legions of fans. buck, several people have designed T-shirts, mugs and other paraphernalia with the robber’s image from surveillance footage. It’s not clear how many have actually been purchased. The fascination with bank robbers goes back generations in America, with some venerating the most notorious — John Dillinger, Bonnie and Clyde and Jesse James. University of California, Los Angeles, sociology professor David Halle said some people derive satisfaction from seeing large institutions under attack. “There is a long tradition of not liking banks in the U.S.,” Halle said. “They have been unpopular for ages and now they are unpopular again for obvious reasons. (The ‘Geezer Bandit’) is not robbing old ladies.” Adding to the case’s interest is the possibility that the elderly-looking robber is not old at all. The theory gained traction after a white Ohio man admitted to robbing several banks while wearing a mask that made him appear to be black. It was so realistic that police mistakenly arrested a man who had similar facial characteristics. Even the wrongly accused man’s mother thought a photo she’d seen of the robbery suspect on the news was her son.

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER More quiet weather is anticipated across the nation on Saturday as a weak ridge of high pressure dominates. This ridge has weakened and flattened out, thus the system no longer brings cold air in from Canada, but will bring more mild temperatures in from the West. Thus, expect temperatures to continue climbing to more seasonable values across the Eastern half of the country. The Mid-Atlantic states, Tennessee Valley, and Southeast will return to the mid-40s to near 50, while the Ohio River Valley and Midwest remain in the 30s. In the North, however, cold and wintry weather persists as a trough of low pressure continues making its way eastward over the Great Lakes. This system has little moisture associated with it, but with cool air pouring in from Canada, will allow for light lake effect snow showers. Snow accumulation will be light, ranging from 1 to 2 inches across western New York state, to near 1 inch in northern Ohio and northwestern Pennsylvania. Highs will remain in the 20s to lower 30s across the Great Lakes. Meanwhile, Out West, a low pressure system that developed in the Gulf of Alaska continues pushing a cold front onshore. This front will trigger more scattered rain showers, with high elevations snow showers, as it slowly moves onshore throughout the day. Expect another dry and sunny day across the Southwest as high pressure dominates.

It’s been a team effort for Cav wrestlers PENCER — Asked why North Rowan is going for a state championship in wrestling today, coach Tim Pittman says it’s a team effort. He’s not just talking about his wrestlers. Baseball coach Aaron Rimer urges his players to wrestle. Athletic director Brian Mills encourages athletes to play multiple sport. Mark Young does a great job at the middle school. And then, there’s the principal — a guy who can probably run practice better than the coaches. Principal Darrell McDow- RONNIE GALLAGHER ell is a former wrestling coach who sometimes ventures into practice. “He coached state championship squads so Tim and I are like students when he comes in,” assistant coach Travis Lindsay chuckled. “He can run a room like nobody else. We love it. He’s awesome. He’s a leader.” ronnie gallagher/SALISBURY POST Today, they all make the trip to West North Rowan’s Tim Pittman, left, and Travis Lindsay have the Cavalier wrestlers in position for Wilkes for the Final Four. The Cavaliers (183) face off against Dixon in the East final at a 1A state championship today.

Gordon eager to rebound

2 p.m. and if they win, they’ll probably face the top-ranked host for the 1A state crown. It’s exactly where Pittman and Lindsay thought the Cavs could be when they took over the program. “We said, ‘Hey guys, here’s what we want. This is our goal. This is what it’s going to take,’ ” Lindsay said. “It’s so awesome to see where they’ve come from and the pride they have with themselves now.” • Pittman and Lindsay were youth league and middle school coaches but when Rimer approached them about coaching at North, they jumped at the opportunity. “North had good teams in the past,” Pittman noted. “But they didn’t have depth. The ones they had were good wrestlers. There just weren’t enough of them.” Pittman started recruiting the halls and football player Garland Archie bought in. There was just this little thing about his weight. He was at 243 and Pittman wanted him at 215. “In football, everybody’s kinda hesitant about losing weight,” Pittman said. “I told Garland, ‘I want you at 215.’ A couple of

Some college questions BY TOM JONES

BY RAY MCNULTY

Scripps Howard News

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The road has been tough for Jeff Gordon these past few years. As much as he likes Jimmie Johnson, as proud as he is of his teammate’s mind-boggling success, as GORDON thrilled as he is for team owner Rick Hendrick, Gordon can’t help but feel envy for the racing history he has been witnessing and frustrated by his inability to stay on the championship pace. And, really, who can blame him? It wasn’t too long ago that Gordon was at the top of the sport, NASCAR’s most dominant driver, at the peak of a Hall of Fame career that has produced 82 victories — 40 of them from 1996-99 — three Daytona 500 triumphs and four Cup championships. He was the fresh face of racing, as prominent a figure as his old-school rival, Dale Earnhardt. He was a stock-car star. But after winning six times in 2007, when he posted a series-best 21 top-five finishes and pulled in second to Johnson in the points race, Gordon has struggled to find Victory Lane: He has taken the checkered flag only once. “It hasn’t been quite as much fun the last couple of years,” Gordon was saying Thursday at NASCAR’s annual media day kickoff at Daytona International Speedway. “We have been competitive, just not as competitive as we’ve been in the past.” Not nearly. The past three years, Gordon has finished seventh, third and ninth in points to qualify for the Chase for the Championship. But his lone victory came at Texas in 2009. Gordon was in the hunt in several races last year, when he had 17 top-10 finishes, including 11 top-five showings. But he couldn’t find a way to win. And for the fifth consecutive season, he watched Johnson take home the trophy.

1986 North provided county with one of its classic teams BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

SPENCER — There wasn’t a lot of “Hoosiers” involved in North Rowan’s ride to the 1986 2A state championship. There was no glass slipper that suddenly fit. The ’86 Cavaliers were a freight train — tall, muscular and quick. They would charge to the 2011 2A title if they could take the court tomorrow in their teenage bodies. “We did have a tremendous amount of talent for a small school,” said Ralph Kitley, who played at Wake Forest. “We had the talent level of a small-college team.” Kitley was 6-foot-10 and he could shoot, but on many nights he was the third-best guy in green and gold. Jimmy Kesler and Antione Sifford were often sensational. “We all got along,” Sifford said. “And there’s nothing like playing on a great team where everyone gets along.” • Twenty-five years have passed since they ruled 2A, but the 6-5 Kesler (third), Sifford (fifth) and Kit-

Hundley got three superstars not just to tolerate each other but to respect and like each other. He also chose the right supporting cast to assist his three stars, notably Eric Hill, a fierce defender, and Derrick Fitzgerald, a tiny point guard who didn’t care if he ever scored. Seniors such as Barry Glass, Tim Ingram, Deric Sims and Tim Weaver accepted roles, happy to be cogs in an awesome machine. ronnie gallagher/SALISBURY POST Hundley also pushed the right North Rowan’s Tim Mitchell, left, shakes buttons at the end of games.

NEW YORK — Now that the NFL is over, we switch our focus to a fantastic college basketball season. Here are four burning questions as we head down the stretch toward the conference tournaments and March Madness: • Can Ohio State go undefeated? The Buckeyes are trying to become the first team since Bob Knight's 1975-76 Indiana squad to have a perfect season. It won't be easy. They have two games against Wisconsin, which is ranked 13th and plays stifling defense, holding opponents well under an average of 60 points a game. The Buckeyes also host underachieving but always dangerous Michigan State and Illinois. And they must travel to Penn State, which gave Ohio State fits in Columbus last month, losing by three. But the game to watch is Feb. 20 at No. 14 Purdue. Then again, the Buckeyes beat Purdue by 23 on Jan. 25. If they get through all that without losing, they then have to navigate the conference and NCAA tournaments. There's a reason it has been 35 years since a team has gone undefeated. • Which teams have been the biggest disappointments? By far, Kansas State and Michigan State. Both started the season ranked in the top five with plenty of returners from last season, when Michigan State reached the Final Four and K-State the Elite Eight. K-State has had leadership problems and is 178th in the country in fieldgoal percentage. It is 16-8 and still has to play Kansas, Missouri and Texas. Making the NIT might be a chore. Meantime, the Spartans are in even more trouble. They are 13-10 and 5-6 in the Big Ten. They have lost to their share of powerhouses -Duke, UConn, Syracuse, Purdue -- but also have some ugly losses: Michigan and Iowa. • Who is the player of the year? Ohio State forward Jared Sullinger is the best player on the best team in the country, averaging 18 points and 10 rebounds per game. Duke's Nolan Smith is averaging 21 points, 5.6 assists and 4.8 rebounds, and has

SHS perfect in CCC BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

THOMASVILLE — Salisbury girls coach Chris Salisbury 65 McNeil entered E. Davidson 36 the Guinness Book of World Records on Friday night at East Davidson. The category? Shortest halftime speech. The Hornets never even make it to their locker room. Leading 34-7, they strolled off the court, chatted for roughly 10 seconds, then returned to the floor to warm up for the second half. “Coach expects a lot from of us and there are always things to work on, but I guess we had executed the first-half gameplan the way he wanted us to,” said smiling Salisbury post player Olivia Rankin, who scored 12 points. The Hornets (19-1, 10-0 CCC) weren’t perfect in the first half, but they were close enough. It was 307 when the starters sat down four minutes prior to halftime. “At halftime, Coach said, ‘Just keep playing, keep doing what you’re doing,” senior guard Ashia Holmes said. East Davidson (12-11, 2-8) turned it over nine times in the second quarter and was outscored 18-1. Carrie Thompson came off the bench to hit two shots for the Hornets in the period. “We changed a lot of our focus this week,” McNeil said. “We’ve been making too many turnovers and we’ve lacked intensity. We put in new defensive schemes, with some trapping pressure. The girls worked hard at it, and it paid off tonight. We were clicking on all cylinders, playing unselfish team ball.” Most of Salisbury’s first-half points were layups off turnovers, and Holmes was headed to one of the most unusual double-doubles in prep history. The Radford-bound senior finished with 19 points to match her career high and recorded an amazing 10 steals. “That press we used is one of strongest defenses,” she said. “We were being very aggressive.”

The Hornets’ swarming defensive pressure overmatched an East Davidson squad that was determined to give a spirited effort on Senior Night. Ayanna Holmes, Ashia’s twin, added seven points and six steals. “There’s nothing you can do but keep playing as hard as you can, and our girls certainly did that,” East Davidson coach Brian Ed- AS. HOLMES dinger said. “Obviously, Salisbury’s very good. They can do a little bit of everything.” The Hornets completed one of their goals for the season by sailing through the CCC regular season unbeaten for their seventh title in eight years. “That’s an accomplishment,” McNeil said. “There are good teams in this league. The CCC should do well in the state playoffs.” McNeil started his reserves in the second half, although that unit included Brielle Blaire (10 points, seven rebounds, four blocks), one of the state’s top freshmen. East Davidson and played much better in the second half. The Golden Eagles got 3-pointers from Ashley Swaim, Nicole Atkinson and Emma Whitley and turned a potential nightmare into a respectable loss to 2A’s top-ranked team. Chelsea Turner led the Golden Eagles with nine points. Salisbury’s seniors have a record of 105-6. Five of those losses were to East Davidson, so veterans like the Holmes sisters didn’t mind rolling in the East Davidson gym. “There were a lot of memories, lots of emotions coming back over here tonight,” Ashia Holmes said. SALISBURY (65) — As. Holmes 19, Rankin 12, Blaire 10, Ay. Holmes 7, Heilig 5, Miller 4, Thompson 4, Allison 2, Hicks 2, Feamster.

The defense was good, and Bates had his best game of the year. “We started out in a teaser press and we turned it up a little bit in second quarter. That was a big quarter for us and we are able to get a comfortable lead.” Albemarle, a 68-40 winner against Chatham Central on Friday, shared the title with the Cavaliers.

North Rowan’s 1986 team was honored before a recent Cavalier game. Among the members who returned to their gym were, from left: Ed Kesler, John Workman, Joe Harris, Barry Glass, Derrick Fitzgerald, Eric Hill, Bobby Honeycutt, Jimmy Kesler and Ralph Kitley.

1986 FROM 1C Hundley’s team — Bill Kesler was his assistant — went 29-2, still the school record for wins. The Cavs were an eyelash from 310. Well, two eyelashes. There was a 71-70 loss to 4A South Meck in a tournament in Raleigh early and a 59-58 CCC loss at Thomasville. It all started with Hundley, who hails from tiny Francisco, in Stokes County. “Well, the closest town was Stuart, Va.,” Hundley said. “Francisco is really just open space in the triangle made by Stuart, Pilot Mountain and Mount Airy.” Hundley found his way to Chapel Hill for college. He was a fine baseball player, a catcher for the Tar Heels. After graduation, he got into middleschool coaching near his hometown. At one of those summer coaching clinics held in Greensboro, he heard about an opening at North Rowan. Principal Fred Holt hired him, and Hundley was North’s head baseball coach 15 seasons. His tenure included a runner-up finish in the WNCHSAA in 1976. Hundley became head basketball coach prior to the 1980-81 season, and he’d learned a lot of hoops X’s and O’s from Walt Baker and Sam Gealy. He lasted 18 seasons in the North gym and coached 274 victories. The 1985-86 season is his greatest legacy. What isn’t always remembered is that North was also terrific the two seasons prior to winning the state title. North went 22-7 and 22-6 while competing in 3A. The 1983-84 Cavaliers lost by two points to West Caldwell in the regional final. The Cavs fell by a single point to Anson to end the 1985 season. “You never know,” Huntley said. “But had we been 2A those years, we maybe would have won two more.” • As talented as North was in 1986 — it averaged 70.6 points — it still was a major challenge just to win the nine-school CCC.

North Rowan’s Jimmy Kesler, right, reaches out to former teammate Barry Glass. Thomasville, Salisbury and Lexington were loaded. “Getting through those league games was the toughest part of the run, no doubt about it,” Hundley said. North went 15-1 in the CCC, losing 59-58 at Thomasville on Feb. 4 to break what had been a school-record, 17-game winning streak. Sifford, Kitley and Kesler all spent time on the pine with foul trouble. Hundley put a positive spin on it, telling everyone North no longer had the pressure of taking a long winning streak into the playoffs. Seeking payback, North returned to the Thomasville gym two weeks later for the title game of the CCC tournament. It went to overtime. North looked beaten, down four, with time running out. But Hill tipped in a miss with seven seconds left to cut the deficit to two. Then North forced a turnover with three seconds left. Fitzgerald’s 10th assist of the night was a

It was North’s first tourney title in nine seasons. • North breezed through its playoff sectional, with Sifford scoring 29 points in back-to-back games. In the Western Regional, North breezed past Mount Airy with Sifford and Kesler combining for 47 points. In the regional final at Lenoir-Rhyne, North faced a 30-0 Albemarle squad that had lightning speed and fine scorers in Chuck Swaringen and Brad Childress. Albemarle had dominated its history with the Cavaliers, winning 13 of 14, but this time North was just too big. The Cavaliers outboarded the Bulldogs 40-19. Regional MVP Sifford shot 11-for-17 from the floor, and Kesler, Kitley and Sifford teamed for 64 points in a 72-66 victory that put the Cavs in the state championship game

in Chapel Hill. The Dean Smith Center had opened two months earlier, and North had the honor of playing the second high school game at the facility. North sold the 500 advance tickets it was allotted in a hurry, and a crowd of 5,000 poured in to watch the Cavaliers beat Ayden-Grifton 74-69. Kitley’s 17 points and 14 rebounds earned him MVP honors. He scored eight straight points early in the fourth quarter, as the Cavs took control. “No question about it,” said Kitley, now principal at Northwest Guilford. “I played in the ACC and in Germany, but that state championship was the biggest thrill of my career.” Kesler contributed 20 points, and Sifford continued his sizzling run with 25. Hill had 10 points and four steals. Tim Mitchell tossed in four big points off the bench. Sifford averaged 21.7 points that season and bumped his output to 27.0 ppg in the last five games. North couldn’t be denied. “Every coach dreams of winning a state championship,” Hundley said. “It was just a great opportunity, a very fun time.” 

Sallie Hundley, Bob’s daughter, teaches and coaches at North, and with the help of boys coach Andrew Mitchell, AD Bryan Mills and others, she organized a 25th anniversary reunion recently to honor the 1986 team. The players were thrilled to return to the North gym where they were unbeaten in 1986. They embraced their old coaches, took a few bows and accepted gold medals and championship T-shirts from current team members. Coach Hundley was overjoyed. He hadn’t seen some of them since graduation. Andrew Mitchell has set lofty goals for his current Cavs and believes rubbing shoulders with North’s greatest team will prove inspirational down the stretch. “Having these guys come back here is very special,” Mitchell said. “We hope it’s something our guys can feed off of the rest of the year.”

structions, about the absence of commitment to the proper way of playing and approaching the game, as well as their lack of respect for him. He nearly quit after that season, saying back then: “I often wonder how important basketball is to these guys. Our biggest hurdle is getting people to play hard and compete. We’ve had some problems with younger guys. They have a certain way they like to play ...” His voice trailed off. “... You try to teach them. I know I’m hardheaded and stupid sometimes, but I thought we could win every night, if we worked at it. I’ll never sit back and accept losing.” And when players quit listening to him? “That’s when it’s time to leave,” he said. Read between the lines of what Sloan added in a oneon-one interview on Thursday, long after most reporters had left the building: “It was time for me to get out.

Nets handle ‘Cats Associated Press CHARLOTTE — Desperate Nets coach Avery Johnson tweaked the travel schedule to create a spark, and big man Brook Lopez remembered how to rebound. Combine that with a brutal performance by the home team and New Jersey was able to celebrate a road victory for the first time in nearly two months. Lopez reached double figures in rebounds for the first time since Dec. 1, grabbing 11 to go along with 31 points, and the Nets never trailed in beating the sluggish Charlotte Bobcats 94-89 on Friday night to snap a 12-game road losing streak. Searching for answers with a 3-24 road record, Johnson had the team fly to Charlotte early Thursday to hold practice at Time Warner Cable Arena. “I liked the way they looked (Thursday) in our little session. They got after it

hard,” Johnson said. “We totally changed up our routine. Nobody complained about it because we really didn’t have another choice but to try something else.” Devin Harris added 16 points and eight assists, and Kris Humphries had 15 points and 14 rebounds for the Nets, who raced to a 12-2 lead and led by as many as 19 points in their second straight win. Maybe the Nets have some more early departures ahead after recording their first road win since Dec. 21 at Memphis. “I think that maybe we needed a little bit of a different rhythm to what we were doing and that might have provided that for us,” Humphries said. “Who knows if (Johnson) is going to do that every time. Coaches do something different and you get a win and they want to keep it the same until it doesn’t work.” Suddenly, nothing is working for the Bobcats. A day after Bobcats owner

That younger man turned out to be assistant Tyrone Corbin. Then the ever-respectful Corbin said he thought he could bring new life to a sagging, struggling team: “I’m a little bit younger and I’m a different voice.” We’ll see if that voice rings through to brains and ears that had grown recalcitrant in recent weeks and, ultimately, deaf, resulting in a stretch of frustration that led to just seven victories in the past 19 tries.

Maybe fans, caught up in sentimentality, will be angered by Williams’ stubbornness and defiance here, but they could also be more reasonable than just that. It could be that these two competitors, coach and player, were simply two strongminded bad-asses who for the longest time conflicted, neither yielding, and now that one has, it’s left to the other to haul a bigger load. Williams had best ball hard and well for the rest of the season, and beyond. What Sloan will do is less certain. In the same conversation

during which that last warning came, the man who led the Jazz for 23 seasons, the longest tenured head coach in all of pro sports, also told me if he did quit, “I don’t know what the hell I’d do.” He’ll now find out. “I have a place here,” he said. “I have a place in Illinois. I have a place in Florida that I’ve never even been to. I’ve got grandchildren. I don’t know. I’ve got things to do, I guess. I feel like a Utah person. I’ve been here for 26 or 28 years. It feels like my home. Tomorrow’s a new day. We’ll see what it brings.”

Isles pound Pittsburgh in midst of all-out brawl Associated Press From around the NHL... UNIONDALE, N.Y. — John Tavares, Matt Moulson and rookie Michael Grabner all scored their 20th goal of the season and New York got some revenge against injury-depleted Pittsburgh. Just nine days after Brent Johnson beat New York 3-0 and knocked out Rick DiPietro in a one-punch fight that left the franchise goalie with broken bones in his face, the Islanders responded with four goals in the first pe-

riod and four more in the second — with an all-out brawl in the middle of the offensive outburst. That was just the appetizer for a third-period donnybrook — in which Johnson fought again — that caused a delay of about 15 minutes. With multiple ejections, both benches had only a handful of players for the final 12plus minutes. Travis Hamonic, Jesse Joensuu, and P.A. Parenteau added goals for the Islanders, who earned their second win in two days after beating Montre-

al on the road in a shootout on Thursday night. Mikko Koskinen earned both wins — his first two in the NHL. Red Wings 6, Bruins 1 BOSTON — Todd Bertuzzi scored two goals, and Henrik Zetterberg and Jiri Hudler each had a goal and two assists as Detroit snapped out of its scoring slump. Danny Cleary and Thomas Holmstrom also scored for the Red Wings, who had been outscored 12-4 in losing three of their previous four games. David Krejci scored for the Bruins,

at the half. Despite getting the ball to the basket with relative ease against Concord's pressure defense, the Wonders made only 8 of 25 attempts from the field. "I'm sure we missed about four or five shots in the paint," said Klutz, probably understating the number by a few. "You just can't miss shots like that and expect to beat a good basketball team. That's something we've got to correct if we want to continue to play." Concord, ranked third in the state, but coming off a loss to Hickory Ridge, pushed its advantage to 52-29 midway through the third. However, a 3-pointer by Jones, a runner by Damien Washington and two free throws by Parish Smith quickly cut the deficit to 16 with over two minutes to play. Brown then missed sev-

eral chances to get closer and Concord scored the next 14 points, including 11 in the first two minutes of the fourth quarter, to blow it wide open. "We knew with it being their Senior Night they were going to play with a lot of emotion," Klutz said. "We wanted to match that emotion and I thought we did early. But when you miss pointblank shots you get discouraged, you stop playing "D" and it snowballs on you." Concord, which clinched its fifth straight outright SPC title, shot 51 percent from the field and put five players in double figures, led by Jacquise Moore and Xavier Stywall with 13 each. "We shot it really bad at their place," Concord coach Scott Brewer said. "We shot it a little better tonight, got our press going and probably got them a little tired. "We did a much better job defending the ball and not giving up as much easy stuff in transition, which was real good to see because that's

been a rollercoaster ride for us. We're a young team. I see a lot of good things but also some things we've got to get better at." The Wonders split with Central during the regular season. They'll meet again in the first round of the SPC tournament. The site will be determined by a tiebreaker. "This time of year it just comes down to if you want to continue to play or now," Klutz said.

It got as close as 50-47 with 6:15 remaining, but Dodd missed the back end of a one-and-one, and Murphy got a quick bucket in transition. After East Davidson turned it over, Knox made a free throw.

NFL labor situation ‘a mess’ according to agents Associated Press NEW YORK — NFL owners have been heard on the labor front. So have the players. What about the agents? Some say they aren’t expecting much progress in negotiations between the NFL and the players’ union before the collective bargaining agreement expires March 3. “The reason for that date is it’s the end of the league year,” said Joe Linta, who represents Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco and three dozen other players. “Sure, an extension could be coming. If I still believe in Santa Claus, I still have hope.” Linta is among many agents who believe every other issue will get resolved quickly enough once the owners and

union agree on how to split nearly $9 billion in revenues. The owners get $1 billion off the top for operating expenses and are seeking an additional $1 billion. The players note how popular the league is, with record TV ratings, and say they shouldn’t have to take a pay cut. “It’s all about money, as it always is,” he said Friday, “and everything will flow from there once there’s a macro agreement.” Ralph Cindrich has been through every labor dispute between players and owners dating back to the 1970s and the union’s infancy. While saying of the state of negotiations “it’s fair to call it a mess,” Cindrich also concludes “it’s too early to panic” and when both parties want to seriously nego-

tiate, they will. “When they come to the time period when decisions need to be made, that’s when they will get down to something,” said Cindrich, who represents Steelers linebacker James Farrior and Colts center Jeff Saturday among many others. A key issue is the owners’ intent to include a rookie wage scale, which Linta calls “way overblown” and Peter Schaffer, agent for All-Pro tackle Joe Thomas, says is “scouting insurance against poor selection decisions.” The rookie wage scale proposed by the owners would cover a five-year period. Many players and their representatives say that translates into a veteran wage scale, too, by limiting earnings for players

whose average career is less than five years. Besides, Schaffer says in an e-mail to The Associated Press, a rookie wage scale would not really help NFL owners’ spending concerns, and it would damage college football by causing a rush of underclassmen turning pro earlier so they could get to free agency quicker. “The reality is that the current NFL draft system in its entirety is a tremendous economic windfall to the NFL teams,” Schaffer said, “as it provides a large source of cheap, young labor to the league signed for contracts exceeding four years. That’s not true for the highest picks in the draft — Rams quarterback Sam Bradford signed a deal with $50 million

A Boston red sox equipment truck pulls out of Fenway Park in Boston en route to the red sox spring training facility in Florida.

Baseball hope springs eternal Associated Press The Super Bowl hit a deep freeze, NBA teams got stranded in blizzards, an NHL game was iced by a snowstorm. Most everywhere, the winter weather is wicked. Good thing the weekend forecast in Arizona and Florida calls for sunny skies and temperatures in the 70s: King Felix, Joe Mauer and friends are coming. Spring training is starting up. Let’s trade ski masks for catcher’s masks. And pitchers, take off your mittens and put on those mitts. Just in time, right? “I would say there might be some of them from the Midwest or Northeast who might go to their respective spring training places and accelerate the real estate market,” Colorado Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. “Unless they really like being behind a snow blower.” Even before the sunscreen mixes with pine tar, Bruce Bochy is eager. World Series champions always want to get going. The San Francisco Giants manager and his players are among the many teams opening camp in the next few days. “Especially some of them who have been in this harsh weather we’ve had this winter, they’re looking forward to getting to spring training,” Bochy said. “I also think when you get two or three weeks off, you start getting a little bit itchy. Then when it gets to late January, you’re ready. You’re ready to get back and see your teammates, getting back on the field and getting ready for the season,” he said. In many places, that means new pals. Cliff Lee, back in Philadelphia after a oneyear absence. Manny Ramirez and Johnny Damon, taking their hair-raising antics to Tampa Bay. Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez, now swinging for Boston. Vladimir Guerrero, Jayson Werth, Vernon Wells, Dan Uggla and World Series MVP Edgar Renteria, all switching uniforms. “It makes you feel good to come here and know they wanted me to play there. It’s awesome,” said strikeout-prone slugger Mark Reynolds, traded from Arizona to Baltimore. “This is kind of a fresh start.” Shaun Marcum already is looking way ahead. Traded from Toronto to Milwaukee, he was part of the Brewers’ busy winter — they also acquired former Cy Young winner Zack Greinke from Kansas City. “Nothing against Toronto as an organization, but this is the first time I’ve gone through the offseason working out and thinking that I’m going to be pitching in October and not ending my season Oct. 2. I’m working hard knowing that I’m going to be pitching Oct. 23, Oct. 24 — just throwing those dates out there,” Marcum said. But there’s plenty of time until then. A lot to do, in fact, before the pitching-rich Phillies host Florida State on Feb. 24 in the first exhibition game of the year. A host of new managers need to meet and greet their guys. Don Mattingly with the Dodgers, Ron Roenicke of the Brewers and John Farrell of the Blue Jays will be managing for the very first time. In all, 12 teams go into opening day on March 31 with a different skipper than they started with last season. Gone are four longtimers, each leaving with glittery rings — Joe Torre, Bobby Cox, Lou Piniella and Cito Gas-

ton. Also missing this spring, baseball’s newest retirees: Postseason wins champ Andy Pettitte, career saves leader Trevor Hoffman and former World Series MVP Mike Lowell. Still to be decided: Albert Pujols and his contract status. The three-time NL MVP set a deadline for the start of his spring training — either he gets a new deal with the St. Louis Cardinals or he’ll cut off talks until he becomes a free agent after the season. In the meantime, Cardinals newcomer Lance Berkman is looking forward to joining a lineup with the star slugger. “I feel like this is a legitimate World Series contender, I really in my heart believe that. I’m not trying to do like Rex Ryan and put something out there and make everybody mad, I feel like we’ve got a great team.” Easy, Lance. For now, we’ll find out whether top rookies such as Tampa Bay outfielder Desmond Jennings, Atlanta first baseman Freddie Freeman, Toronto pitcher Kyle Drabek and Yankees catcher Jesus Montero are ready for the majors. Or whether Jim Edmonds, Eric Chavez and Bartolo Colon, big names past their prime, can give it one more go. We’ll see, too, how well stars Chipper Jones, Johan Santana, Jake Peavy and Grady Sizemore are progressing from season-ending surgeries. Mauer, Minnesota’s outstanding catcher, had minor surgery this winter to clean up his knee. “You really don’t even know what your team is going to look like until you get to July, or June,” he said. Fans certainly are geared up now. Trips to spring training have become extremely popular in recent years, with tickets harder and harder to find, be it for games at HoHoKam Park in Mesa, Ariz., Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland, Fla., or George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa. Easier to enjoy are the sights that make spring training so special. Sandy Koufax, Yogi Berra and Mike Schmidt are among the many Hall of Famers who often swing by camps to help out. And it always makes for a good laugh when a long drive to the gap scatters a bunch of pitchers doing their running on the warning track. The Arizona Diamondbacks and Rockies move to a new site this year, sharing a complex built on an Indian reservation near Scottsdale. They had been in Tucson, and their shift means no more games in a city that had hosted spring ball since the 1940s. Chances are, the 15 teams training in the Phoenix area won’t miss that 21/2-hour drive through the desert. Hardly anyone is likely to miss the bruising cold. At a Cardinals event last month, appropriately called the Winter Warmup, second baseman Skip Schumaker barbed teammate Matt Holliday about the weather. Schumaker could boast — he lives in California, Holliday in St. Louis. “Inside my house it’s 70 degrees,” Holliday answered. Just as it should be this weekend, when teams break out the bats, balls and eternal hope.

It hasn’t been easy. As you’d expect from one of the sport’s good guys, however, Gordon has handled with class his teammate’s run to greatness. “It tells you that the ingredients are there, that the tools are there,” Gordon said of the support the individual crews receive from Hendrick Motorsports, where, clearly, Johnson is now the lead dog. “But it also tells you how important teamwork and chemistry and having confidence in one another truly is. “I applaud those guys (Johnson’s crew) and what they’ve been able to accomplish. It has been amazing, seeing it as close up as I have. “But at the same time,” he added emphatically, “when you see that, you want to know why you’re

guaranteed as the top selection last year. But, as Linta mentions, the extremely lucrative contracts go to a dozen or fewer rookies. Devin McCourty, selected 27th overall last April, received $10 million over five years, which Schaffer said was not in the top 60 for cornerbacks. McCourty started for New England and made the Pro Bowl. Eugene Parker, who has Ndamukong Suh, the Defensive Rookie of the Year, among his clients, sees a rookie wage scale as an incentive for agents to potentially not represent players coming out of college. “It could be a scenario like basketball where the salaries are fixed and there really is little negotiating room for the agent up front,” Parker told

Sirius NFL Radio on Friday, “and if that is the case you will see more and more agents focusing on the vet players than on the rookie players.” Expanding the regular season to 18 games is negotiable in the view of the dozen agents interviewed by the AP. Each of them cited player safety and the increased chance for injuries as the major stumbling block to a longer regular season. Don Yee, who represents league MVP Tom Brady, suggested a longer season be accompanied by increased roster size from 53 players to 58, all eligible to play on game day; currently, only 45 can suit up, plus a third quarterback. He also would institute a rule that prohibits any player from appearing in more than 16 games.

not experiencing it, too.” So Gordon, at age 39, working with a new crew chief and crew, plans to use Johnson’s success to push himself and his team. “In some ways,” he said, “it’s very motivating and inspiring.” This year, Gordon is working with crew chief Alan Gustafson and the team that helped Mark Martin win five times and finish second in points in 2009. And, thus far, he likes the group’s chemistry. “I can’t wait to get the season started,” Gordon said, adding that the crew change has provided a spark he believes will make a difference. “I’m very optimistic that we’re going to have a fast race car.” Actually, Gordon is more than eager. He’s confident. He’s hungry. “I don’t have to win another race to be content, or to be happy with my life,” Gordon said. “But when you work for Hendrick Motorsports and you’re in this

business and you’ve had the kind of success we’ve had, you want to keep going. “You don’t know how many years you have left in you. You don’t know how many races you can win. You want to seize these opportunities.” Gordon said he will race as long as he’s healthy, as long as he’s competitive, as long as he enjoys it. And he expects this year to be better. Even special. Asked if fame, fortune and family have combined to dim his desire to win, Gordon replied: “That’s the goal. That’s the challenge. To see: Do I still have what it takes to make it — to create the chemistry within a team to be successful, win races and compete for a championship. “This is where you find out what you’re made of and how bad you really want it.” Gordon likes Johnson. He’s proud of him. He’s thrilled for the entire Hendrick team. But he wants to win. He’s a champion, too.

Duke women top Wake Associated Press WINSTON-SALEM — Duke figured out an easy way to bounce back from a loss to an instate rival: Rout another one. Jasmine Thomas scored 17 points, Krystal Thomas added 12 points and 12 rebounds, and the fifth-ranked Blue Devils rolled past Wake Forest 82-39 on Friday night. Allison Vernerey added 12 points to help Duke (22-2, 8-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) beat Wake Forest for the 34th straight time and put a tough loss to rival North Carolina in the past. “I don’t think you have to lose to learn, and unfortunately, we lost a couple of games and I think all of us have been very motivated by that,” coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “You have fire from what you learn ... but you have to try to bring that in some way to the next opportunity.” The Blue Devils never trailed in this one, held a 5231 rebounding advantage and outscored the Demon Deacons 46-14 in the paint. “If we all stand in the lane and hold hands in a circle, we get in their way enough that they don’t get to 46” points in the paint, Wake Forest coach Mike Petersen said. Wake Forest (12-14, 3-7) scored just 13 points during the final 171/2 minutes and was held to a season-low point total. The Demon Deacons lost for the seventh time in 10 games and haven’t beaten Duke since the 1993 ACC tournament. Chelsea Gray finished with 10 points for Duke, which held the Demon Deacons scoreless for nearly seven minutes in the second half while scoring 12 straight points during a 315 run that made it a 40-point game. Meanwhile, at the other end, Wake Forest managed only one field goal in a 121/2minute stretch — a layup by Brittany Waters with 11 minutes left. After Sandra

AssociAted Press

duke’s Krystal thomas draws a foul in the win Friday at Wake Forest. Garcia’s layup with 17:59 remaining, the Demon Deacons were 3 of 19 the rest of the way. “We were just trying to finish strong,” Vernerey said of her team’s defense. “We have been talking a lot about playing 40 minutes and playing a whole game, whatever the score. We’re not playing the scoreboard. We’re playing for us to get better, and be aggressive through 40 minutes. That’s what motivates us.” The Blue Devils had been stewing since Monday night’s 62-60 loss to the 13th-ranked Tar Heels in which they could have forced overtime had

Gray’s layup at the buzzer not been blocked. That marked their second loss in three games, after a 20-0 start had left them as the nation’s last unbeaten team. Looking to avoid their first losing streak since 2007, the Blue Devils shot 50 percent while relying almost exclusively on high-percentage shots from close range to once again take care of the Demon Deacons. When this game was at its closest, Duke simply dominated the interior at both ends of the floor. All but two of its 16 field goals in the first half came in the paint.

Salisbury wraps up CCC title BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

THOMASVILLE — Outscored drastically from Salisbury 68 the 3-point line Thomasville 59 and struggling again from the foul line, Salisbury’s boys nevertheless reached the finish line first. Taller and faster, the Hornets survived an avalanche of 3-pointers by East Davidson bomber Taylor Warren and beat the Golden Eagles 68-59 on the road Friday to clinch an outright CCC championship. “I think we play in a very good league, and East Davidson is one of

the most disciplined, fundamental teams in our league,” Salisbury’s first-year head coach Justin Morgan said. “They can really shoot the basketball. We had to rebound and run and do the things that we do well to beat them. I thought Alex (Weant) had just a huge game for us.” It was the 18th regular-season league title for the Hornets and their fifth in the last eight seasons. Salisbury (16-5, 9-1) has finished first or second in the CCC in each of the last eight seasons. Jarrett Rivens (17 points), Darien Rankin (14), John Knox (14), Weant (13) and Corey Murphy (10)

all had solid games for the Hornets. It was the second time this season Salisbury’s put five men in double figures. It was the first time this season the Hornets didn’t get a single point from their bench. Salisbury played either 3-2 zone

or 1-3-1 zone nearly every possession. Warren drilled seven of East Davidson’s 13 3s and finished with 26 points. Blake Dodd scored 15. “Warren is a very good shooter,” Rankin said. “We knew we had to get out on him, but he was making shots even with a hand in his face.” Fourth-place East Davidson (1211, 4-6) had the emotion of Senior Night working in its favor and used three early 3s by Warren to stay within 20-16 after a quarter. But the second quarter was all Hornets. Morgan spent most of his time pleading with his defenders not to let No. 21 (Warren) get a shot off, and the Hornets obeyed.

Warren was blanked in the second quarter and Salisbury rolled to a 38-24 halftime lead. Rankin, usually a slasher, surprised the Golden Eagles by splashing two 3-pointers in the period, and Weant and Rivens, both much taller than any of their opponents, owned the paint. Rivens, a 6-foot-6 junior, had 15 points before the break. “Salisbury used its height well in the first half and did a great job dumping the ball in to their bigs,” East Davidson coach Matt Jacobs said. “I didn’t think we were physical enough in the first half, but we

A.L. Brown’s Teven Jones skies the lane on a layup attempt against Concord.

CONCORD — The young A.L. Brown Concord 77 boys have A.L. Brown 51 struggled to the finish line of the regular season and finishing was a problem in Friday night's finale in particular. The Wonders failed to convert countless easy chances at the basket, fell behind early and never really challenged SPC champion Concord in a 77-51 loss. Brown took the Spiders to the wire in the teams' first meeting, but in this one Concord grabbed a 21-9 less than two minutes into in the second quarter and led by double-digits most of the rest of the way. "That was a tough one for us," Brown coach Shelwyn Klutz said. "I thought they played really well. We let some opportunities slip away from us early and then we got behind and they're a tough team to try and catch up to. It was their night." Teven Jones was the lone Brown player in double figures with 13 points. Brown shot just 3 of 13 in the opening quarter, with the

Brown's girls against SPC champion Concord Friday night, but the resilient and improving Wonders didn't go down without a fight. Trailing by 15 entering the final quarter, Brown got within six with just under two minutes left before succumbing to a 58-53 defeat. Sarah Tuttle scored 12 of her team-high 18 points in the fourth to spark the rally for Brown (11-13, 7-7), which played well overall but was undone by a 22-8 deficit in the third period. "I told them at halftime 'you might as well get ready because (Concord coach Angela Morton) is going to turn it up on defense and offense,'" Brown coach Tosha Pullen said. "We know it happens

every year so we have to go out and work hard.' But for some reason they were flat and kind of dead out there. But we picked it up in the fourth." They certainly did - especially Tuttle. With a pair of 3pointers and a three-point play off of a steal, Tuttle accounted for nine straight Wonder points to make it 5343 with 3:06 left. Raven Phifer then scored inside off a nice pass by Jayana Lott and Kalia Forrest drove the baseline for a layup that made it 53-47 with 1:45 left. However, after a Concord free throw, the Wonders turned it over on their next possession and Spiders' point guard and leading scorer Jhemelia Edwards (21 points) converted four straight free throws to finally put it away. "They're working hard," Pullen said. "The last two games we've really stepped it

To advertise in this section, call 704-797-4241 For flat screens and wall mounts, there’s no such thing as too slim (ARA) - Slim is “in” ... and not just for people watching their weight. Flat screen TVs and the wall mounts that turn the TVs into decorator showpieces seem to grow sleeker and slimmer every year. And when it comes to viewing technology, thinner not only looks better, it has practical advantages, too. Yes, ultra-slim flat screens may cost you a few more dollars initially, but in the long run will probably provide you with enough user satisfaction to justify the extra expense. And don’t forget that prices for standard flat screens dropped precipitously in just a few years after the products entered the marketplace, so it’s likely prices for slim models will follow suit. Here are a few reasons why you should go trim and slim when buying a flat screen and wall mount: Aesthetic appeal If you bought a flat screen TV in 2006, it may still work well but it probably takes up quite a bit of space on your TV stand or - if you wall-mounted it sticks out into the room considerably. Older flat screens tended to be several inches thick and could appear bulky, even when mounted high on the wall.

ever, that it’s imperative to properly secure all TVs, including slim flat screens, in order to ensure they’re safe - and enjoyable - for everyone in the home. Efficiency Manufacturers have been improving the efficiency of flat screens since the TVs emerged on the home market. Virtually any flat screen - whether plasma or LCD - that you purchase in 2011 is sure to be more energy-efficient and produce a better picture quality than an older version.

Today’s slimmer styles may be just an inch or two think, and ultra-slim models can be less than an inch thick. Less bulk means the TV looks better, whether it’s stand- or wall-mounted. And new super-slim full-motion wall mounts like Sanus’ VisionMount VLF311 Super Slim, provide all the advantages and conveniences of wall-mounting a flat screen, but without adding a lot of bulk to the TV’s profile. The mounts offer a full range of motion courtesy of fingertip-tilt technology, but place flat screens 36 to 65 inches in size just 1.25 inches from the wall.

Safety factor The weight of flat screens can be deceptive. Even older models look so sleek that it’s easy to underestimate their weight. But all TVs tend to be heavy, and, if not properly secured to the wall or a TV stand, can tip over, posing an injury risk to people and pets in the household. Less bulk means slim flat screens are a bit lighter than their thicker counterparts. Remember, how-

Some of the ultra-thin models boast super efficiency, requiring no more electricity to operate than a light bulb. Motorized TV wall mounts also offer energy efficiency and quiet operation. As flat screen technology continues to advance, it’s certain that TVs will become even slimmer and more energy efficient. And with super-slim wall mounts available, that technological showpiece of your home decor can still maintain a low profile when it comes to how much space it takes up in your living room.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS The Obama administration is proposing to shrink the government’s role in the mortgage market. The only question is how much — an issue it’s leaving to Congress. The administration laid out three broad options Friday for gradually dissolving the financially teetering mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, whose bailouts already have cost taxpayers $150 billion. All three aim to draw more private money into the mortgage market, eventually replacing much of the government’s support. Nokia and Microsoft are joining forces to make smart phones in a push to challenge rivals like Apple and Google, hoping to revive their own fortunes in a market they have struggled to keep up with. Nokia Corp., the world’s largest cell phone maker, said it will use Microsoft Corp.’s Windows Phone software as the main platform for its smart phones in an effort to recover lost share from Apple’s iPhone and Android, Google’s software for phones and tablets. A sign that investors’ confidence is returning showed up as last month they added money to

U.S. stock mutual funds at the fastest clip in seven years. The year-opening surge also marked the first time in nine months that investors added more than they withdrew. Investors deposited a net $21.3 billion to U.S. stock funds in January, the biggest monthly increase since a net inflow of $23 billion in February 2004, industry consultant Strategic Insight said Friday. The trade deficit widened in December as rising oil prices pushed the value of imports up faster than U.S. exports. The deficit increased 5.9 percent in December to $40.6 billion, the Commerce Department reported. U.S. exports of goods and services rose to $163 billion, a 1.8 percent gain and the best showing since July 2008. Sales of industrial machinery, civilian aircraft and autos and auto parts led the export gain. But imports rose even faster. A 2.6 percent gain pushed total U.S. imports to $203.5 billion, the highest level since October 2008. The increase was led by a 16.8 percent rise in imported oil. The average price for a barrel of imported crude oil climbed to $79.78 in December.
