Rowan recruiters team up to draw businesses Tourism authority will target companies that offer products, services to visitors BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
Groups working to attract tourists to Salisbury and Rowan County will try to attract businesses as well. For the first time, the Salisbury and Rowan County tourism development authorities will go beyond marketing and venture into commercial recruitment, said James Meacham, executive director
for the Rowan County Tourism Authority. The two authorities have merged their marketing budgets and work closely together. They will try to lure businesses that cater to visitors, such as hotels, gas stations and unique shopping destinations near the interstate. “This is a new endeavor for us, a new launch,” Meacham said. “We’ve assisted businesses before, but this will be
the first time we go and invite businesses to come here.” Meacham recently outlined the strategy for the Salisbury City Council and Rowan County Economic Development Commission Board of Directors. Business recruitment is a natural evolution for the local tourism authorities, Meacham said. The groups are funded with 3 percent occupancy taxes levied by both the city and county on the 805 hotel and motel rooms in Rowan County. Annual budgets for the authorities total about $630,000.
Meacham said they will consider dedicating between $10,000 and $20,000 for business recruitment next year. Meacham MEACHAM will collaborate with Robert Van Geons, executive director for RowanWorks Economic Development, to recruit companies in tourism-related industries. The new partnership will save resources by taking ad-
vantage of areas where tourism and economic development overlap, Van Geons said. He and Meacham VAN GEONS plan to host a site selection event for commercial and industrial real estate brokers and developers to view available properties and learn more about Salisbury and Rowan County. Van Geons and Meacham said they also can work with
property owners in Salisbury and Rowan County to create site plans, provide market research, make connections with potential business interests and more. Van Geons will focus on industrial recruitment, while Meacham’s target is commercial. Meacham said he’s seen a “massive spike in interest” from hoteliers. “I’ve had the most interest in the past three months that I’ve had in three years,” Meacham said.

Love wasn’t the only thing burning on Valentine’s Day. Firefighters across the county responded to more than six brush fires Monday while the county was under a red flag warning. The red flag warning lasted until 9 p.m., meaning weather conditions were critical, and the high winds, low relative humidity and warm temperatures had the potential to spread fires quickly. The National Weather Service said the most critical period for the threat of

Looking for land? Kannapolis is selling 708 acres BY SCOTT JENKINS sjenkins@salisburypost.com
KANNAPOLIS — The city can start taking bids on 708 acres in western Rowan County now that the City Council has accepted an initial offer of $1.36 million for the land. The council voted Monday to accept an offer from Ronald Lee Horton of Waxhaw, who last month told them he wants to use the rural property between N.C. 150 and N.C. 801 for hunting and farming. A 10-day upset bid period will begin as soon as the city publishes an advertisement this week. Legg said he’s gotten he’s gotten phone calls about the land since the council last discussed it in

late January, but he’s not sure if the callers were serious or “just fishing around.” “Once the 10-day window starts, we’ll know for sure whether those were just inquiries or people really wanting to put in bids,” he said. The land is part of 2,849 acres along Second Creek that Cannon Mills owners originally assembled for a reservoir. Though Kannapolis uses the creek as a secondary water supply, city officials determined no reservoir is needed and set out to sell the land. In 2006, the city agreed to a LandTrust for Central North Carolina proposal to buy the land in sections over five years. The LandTrust Today’s forecast 56º/29º sunny
paid about $5.5 million for two tracts totaling 1,645 acres and sold that to the state for public gaming lands and farming. But the LandTrust hasn’t been able to maintain the purchase schedule, and other buyers stepped in. All of them live in the area and want to keep the land rural. In 2008, Tom Smith and Johnny Moore paid $1 million for 368 acres. The $1 million sale of 191 acres to farmer Alan Hoffner is set to close in the next couple of months, Legg said. That leaves just the final 708-acre tract. The LandTrust asked city officials to sell it to the nonprofit for the amount originally

The Catawba College Board of Trustees announced its selection for interim president Monday. Dr. Joseph B. Oxendine, a 1952 alumnus of Catawba and a member of the Board of Trustees, will be the interim president, effective March 15. Oxendine, chancellor emeritus of UNC Pembroke , will work in tandem with outgoing President W. Craig Turner through the end of Turner’s contract period on May 31. Turner gave notice to the Board in mid-January that he OXENDINE would not seek to renew his contract at Catawba after it expired and pledged at that time to aid in a smooth transition. Board Chairman Paul E. Fisher referred to the spring transition period as “a baton handoff between two college presidents” and said it will allow Oxendine “to get a head start on the fall.” “One will be a consultant and one will be the new interim president, and doing this correctly, we should have a great start on the fall and a successful 2011-2012 academic year,” Fisher said. “We have two men who are committed to doing what’s best for the college, students, faculty and staff. “There will be cooperation from both, respect from both, and I anticipate absolutely zero problems.” Fisher said that in conversations with Turner “we discussed that much of the planning for the fall takes place in the spring at the college and we agreed that the interim president should come in as early as possible.” That is possible because of Oxendine’s availability and willingness to serve as interim president. Until the end of May, Turner will continue to live in the president’s house, keep his office and join Oxendine in Catawba’s May 14 graduation ceremonies, Fisher explained. Oxendine and his wife, Adrienne, will live on campus and will remain at Catawba until a new president is found and elected. Fisher indicated that Oxendine has committed to stay on as interim president until that happens. Fisher called Oxendine “a team player, a great listener and a good communicator.” “His mannerisms will be soothing to the campus and his wisdom will be a great part of the value that he brings,” he said. “He will be encouraged to make changes even before a new president gets here.” Although Oxendine’s election as interim president assures that Catawba has stability at its helm, work will begin immediately to find Turner’s replacement.

Man taken to hospital after fall at Walmart
Teen accused of using wood splitter in killing HICKORY (AP) — Authorities say a Hickory teenager shot his roommate and then used a wood splitter on the man. Capt. Joel Fish of the Catawba County Sheriff’s Office said Michael Anderson, 19, has been charged with murder in the death of Stephen Starr, 36. Fish says Anderson
called 911 shortly before 5 a.m. Monday and told dispatchers he had shot his roommate. Authorities say Anderson used a wood splitter on Starr after the shooting. They say Starr’s body also had a word carved with a knife and writing with a pen. Fish declined to discuss the details of the writing.

FROM 1a agreed upon, just over $1 million. But council members said they would take the higher offer and see what happens in the upset bid process. Horton’s offer, and any higher bids submitted, will still be subject to covenants that prohibit industrial and commercial uses, regulate timber cutting and agricultural activities, and restrict construction, though a few home sites are permitted. Similar covents were in place on the earlier sale to Smith and Moore, allowing a home for every 100 acres, Legg said.
“It will be mostly undeveloped, but they wanted, as an exit strategy more than anything, some home sites,� he said. “We can understand that, and it really has no bearing on our watershed protection or preservation of the existing land.� Jason Walser, executive director of the LandTrust, said last month he was “quite disappointed� the city didn’t accept the agency’s offer to buy the land for the original amount but that he was “still encouraged that Kannapolis has held true to trying to protect the natural and cultural resources of the area through restrictive covenants.� The minimum bid to upset Horton’s offer is about $1.43 million, city officials said.

Kannapolis City Council approves incentives for $11.8M project BY SCOTT JENKINS sjenkins@salisburypost.com
KANNAPOLIS — The Kannapolis City Council approved tax breaks Monday for a company that could build an $11.8 million distribution center and create 66 jobs. Atlanta-based S.P. Richards Co. would be the first occupant in the industrial and office portion of the Afton Ridge development at the southern end of Kannapolis. “They’re still looking at several sites,” City Manager Mike Legg said. “An incentive grant, probably in this case, plays a key role.” Under the terms of the incentive agreement, S.P. Richards would get back 85 percent of property taxes paid during its first three years of business, or a total of $126,735. Cabarrus County commissioners will consider incentives for the company at their meeting on Monday. S.P. Richards is one of the country’s leading business products wholesalers, distributing office furniture, computer supplies, janitorial products and more from 44 current distribution centers. The company is considering a new 200,000square-foot distribution center where 13 employ-

Magistrate Bretta Matthews officiates the two-minute ceremony to newlyweds Kevin and Amanda Cagle.
Couple decides to tie the knot at magistrate’s office Some would probably call Kevin and Amanda Cagle’s magistrate’s office marriage untraditional. And maybe buying a house and having a baby before marriage is a little taboo, too. But one thing is sure, they said. They are in love and are ready to spend the rest of their lives together. “We’re doing it all backwards,” Amanda said. They met online two years ago, and to their surprise, lived down the street from each other. With Amanda in school and Kevin working, the traditional marriage the two dreamed about was not feasible. They were planning on getting married before their
3-month-old daughter was born, and then Amanda lost her job. But, they say, the ceremony and party are in the works, and have even been teaching Amanda’s 7-yearold son, now Kevin’s step-son, how to do the “Chicken Dance” and do the “Hammer.” “We’re going to delay everything until after I graduate from school,” Amanda said. So they decided to make it official Monday, Valentine’s Day, at the Rowan County Magistrate’s Office.

Freightliner parent to add positions at two locations Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) announced Monday that it plans to add 628 new positions in its Mt. Holly and Gastonia manufacturing plants to accommodate rising customer demand and expanding production schedules. The press release does not mention any additional jobs at the plant in Cleveland. Company officials also confirmed that hiring will occur at all the company’s truck and parts manufacturing facilities during the first half of the year, totaling about 1,300 positions. The Mt. Holly Truck Manufacturing Plant plans to fill 447 new manufacturing and 27 plant-based administrative positions beginning in mid-March. The Mt. Holly plant manufactures Freightliner M2 Business Class medium-duty, hybrid and natural gas trucks. The Gastonia Parts Manufacturing Plant plans to add 149 manufacturing jobs and five related administrative positions February through May to support increased network build rates. The 628 new positions will
sharply increase daily production at both facilities. Planned 2011 hiring will also include approximately 600 positions in DTNA’s Mexican manufacturing plants in Santiago and Saltillo to help meet production and customer delivery schedules for the company's medium and heavy-duty product lines. “We have received a clear vote of confidence from a broad range of customers,” said Martin Daum, president and chief executive officer, DTNA. “Our new hiring in Mt. Holly and Gastonia is a direct reflection of incoming orders and the resulting production schedule. We remain cautiously optimistic regarding economic and industry recovery but this is a significant and welcome step forward.” Today’s announcement follows the reinstatement of more than 1,600 manufacturing and related administrative positions throughout the company’s manufacturing network since January 2010, in response to rising customer demand. New collective bargaining agreements were reached in 2010 with all the company’s U.S. plants.
Fabric maker to expand Davie plant, creating 42 jobs Gov. Bev Perdue announced Monday that Avgol, a leading manufacturer of ultra lightweight nonwoven fabrics, will expand its facility in Davie County. The company plans to create 42 jobs and invest $35 million during the next three years in Mocksville. The project was made possible in part by an $84,000 grant from the One North Carolina Fund. Monday’s announcement was made the day after Commerce Sec. Keith Crisco met with Avgol CEO Shlomo Liran in Tel Aviv, Israel. The meeting was part of Crisco’s trade mission to increase investments in North Carolina from Israel. Over the last eight years, Israeli investments in North Carolina amount to more than $233 million and 930 jobs created. Avgol is the leading global manufacturer and supplier of ultra lightweight and top quality nonwoven fabrics primarily for manufacturers of baby diapers, adult incon-
Authorities say a Cleveland man was trafficking cocaine out of his Cleveland apartment. Now he and a Statesville man are behind bars facing multiple charges following a month-long undercover operation involving Rowan, Iredell and state investigators. Joseph Lee Angle, 29, of Deer Park Apartments, Cleveland, is charged with six counts of trafficking cocaine. Other charges include conspiracy to sell cocaine, maintaining a dwelling to sell cocaine and cocaine possession. He was in the Iredell County jail Monday evening under $375,000 bond. Justin Matthew Burton, 22, of Yellowstone Lane, Statesville, is charged with four counts of trafficking and two counts of conspiracy. He was jailed under $200,000 bond. The investigation involved the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office Special Investigations Unit, the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Division, the Cleveland Police Department and the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation. Narcotics detectives received information that a person from Cleveland was delivering large amounts of cocaine to buyers in the eastern part of Iredell, the Rowan Sheriff’s Office said in a press release Monday. Undercover detectives began buying drugs from Angle and Burton, the press release said. During a one-month period, detectives bought more than 6

tinence and feminine hygiene products. The current Mocksville facility, with 132 employees, operates three production lines running at full capacity and will expand with a new fourth production line. In addition to the Davie County plant, Avgol has manufacturing operations in Israel, China and Russia. Salaries will vary by job function, but the average annual wage for the new jobs will be $33,629 not including benefits. The Davie County average annual wage is $28,808. “Our strategy is to continue to grow our business in our largest market here in the USA. Our customers continue to challenge us for more unique and innovative products that are cost effective. We have been able to meet those challenges over the past 10 years. This has hastened our growth in Mocksville,” said Ronnie
The Rowan County Board of Commissioners will focus on the 2011-12 budget during its planning work session Wednesday. The board also may discuss other topics previously submitted by board members as time permits. The meeting will start at 1 p.m. Wednesday on the second floor of the J. Newton Cohen Sr. Rowan County Administration Building, located at 130 W. Innes St. in Salisbury. Chairman Chad Mitchell said he expects most of the discussion to relate to balancing the budget. This year’s revaluation is expected to leave the county with even less tax revenue in the next fiscal year. “We’ve got to cut $3 million to begin with, and we’ve got possibly another 3 percent reduction on top of that,” he said. A revenue-neutral property tax rate — which Mitchell estimates to be an increase of about 2 to 2.5 cents per $100 assessed value — would bring in the same amount of money as last year. A tax rate below neutral would require more cuts, he said. Commissioners also likely will talk about the $12

If S.P. Richards selects Kannapolis, the distribution center would be the first facility built in Glen Afton, the industrial and office portion of the Afton Ridge development off Interstate 85 at exit 54. Legg said the company came to Kannapolis through the Cabarrus Economic Development Corp. and has been working with Afton Ridge developer Childress Klein Properties. The retail portion of Afton Ridge already is home to a number of stores including Best Buy, Super Target, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Marshall’s. S.P. Richards could kick-start development of the industrial and office side, where Legg said there would still be 125-150 acres available, enough land for six or seven buildings the size of the proposed distribution center. “This is really the first nonretail tract that has been in play since the development happened,” he said. “This is good; this is what we’ve been waiting on.”

A. L. Brown High School will present “Dearly Departed” by David Bottrell and Jessie Jones at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the Kannapolis Performing Arts Center at A. L. Brown High School. Dearly Departed is a hilarious southern comedy based the towns of Lula and Timson, somewhere below the MasonDixon line. The play opens with Raynelle Turpin reading mail on her front porch to her husband Bud. After finishing the letter, she finds that Bud has passed during the reading. The rest of the play takes place before and during Bud’s funeral. As the play unfolds we meet an array of colorful characters. Amongst the characters are, the eldest son Ray Bud and his barren wife Lucille, Ray Bud's younger brother Junior and his loud-mouth wife Suzanne, and their younger sister the silent but hungry Delightful.
Also visiting the funeral are Ray Bud's sister, the Bible quoting, Marguerite and her lazy son Royce. The show concludes with a funeral that you are going to want to laugh through. This performance is not recommended for young children. Tickets to the show are $5. For more information, contact Jeremy Peterson at 704-932-6125 x 111 or jeremy.peterson@kcs.k12.nc.us.

Perdue, GOP set stage for NC session in speeches forts to lure new companies. To promote targeted incentives, one of Perdue’s guests in the gallery was the chief executive officer of Clearwater Paper Corp., a Washingtonbased company awarded incentives when they announced last year it would build a tissue plant in Cleveland County, creating about 250 jobs in five years. Perdue announced her budget would create an initiative that would allow high school juniors who meet certain criteria to earn a two-year career or college degree at no cost. Perdue discussed the idea as a way to encourage
students to stay in school. Senate Minority Leader Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe, said he was pleased to hear Perdue’s ideas and believes
the improving economy could mean more opportunities than previously projected. “I think her priorities are in order,” he said.

And two years later, North Carolina is winning this game.” Perdue and the GOP have been scrapping verbally over a bill given final approval last week that would take money away from some economic incentives programs to close next year’s expected shortfall. House Speaker Thom Tillis, RMecklenburg, said she can prove she’s committed to bipartisanship by approving the bill heading to her desk. “We’re encouraged to hear the governor wants to work with us,” Tillis said. Perdue said the bill would harm her administration’s ef-

ployment still hovers nears 10 percent in North Carolina, and Berger blamed “inefficient, irresponsible” policies by Perdue and Democrats and high tax rates for part of the economic problems. While everyone knows somebody who is unemployed, Perdue said the state is doing better than it was two years ago. She said businesses have pledged to create 58,000 jobs and are investing $12.5 billion in the state. “Two years ago we stood at the precipice of economic disaster,” Perdue told the legislators in the speech, televised statewide. “We squared up and put the bat to our

RALEIGH (AP) — Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue told the Republican-controlled Legislature on Monday night she would push this year to protect teacher positions, recruit more companies to the state and rework state government even as it prepared for another large budget gap. Delivering her second State of the State address, she tried to draw a line with legislative leaders while offering some room for cooperaPERDUE tion, even though their relationship has been rocky early in this year’s session and could lead to a veto. It was her first such address since the GOP rode to its first complete majority in the General Assembly in more than a century in November. “Hear me now: I will not back down from those priorities,” Perdue said. “I will not play partisan politics, and I will reach across the aisle day after day to find compromise. I will sacrifice some of my goals if it means protecting our children’s education and growing new jobs for our people and this state.” Perdue gave some snippets about the two-year state government spending proposal she’s expected to roll out later this week. She said she would “fund every current state-supported teacher and teaching assistant position.” She also wants to revive a 2008 gubernatorial campaign pledge to offer high school students with good grades a free two-year college degree. She gave few details about what she intends to cut to close a projected budget gap that has fallen from $3.7 billion to $2.4 billion in less than a week partly due to an improved revenue picture and new cost savings found by her budget office. She talked up a previously announced government reorganization that would narrow 14 departments and offices into eight Cabinet-level departments. She also said she’d offer an early retirement package that could eliminate 1,000 jobs. The new Republican leaders were pleased when she said she wants to lower the corporate income tax rate from 6.9 percent to 4.9 percent, which would be the lowest marginal rate in the Southeast. “Right now, we have the highest corporate tax rate in the Southeast. That means our businesses are paying more taxes when they could be creating jobs,” Perdue said while also announcing she wants to offer more robust incentives for small business and “green” industries. “That’s a strike against us from Day One as we work to convince businesses that North Carolina is the best value.” But GOP lawmakers wanted more budget details from her and wondered aloud how she could pay for this and the other programs without extending a pair of temporary taxes approved in 2009 by Democrats to close that year’s gap. The GOP is committed to letting the higher sales and income taxes expire, said Senate leader Phil Berger, RRockingham, who delivered the official Republican response to Perdue’s speech. Perdue didn’t discuss those taxes, which would generate another $1.3 billion if left in place. “I’m concerned about some of the promises that were made,” Berger said. “I think that’s one of the ways we’ve gotten into the mess that we’re in now, by promising to do things and not having the money to pay for them.” The dueling speeches illustrated differences in what each side believes about the state’s economy.

Getting fit, the virtual way
karissa minn/SALISBURY POST
Jacob Young, right, and Destiny Cathcart, center, teach RSS Risk Manager Sharon Gardner how to play a dancing video game. The new game room at North Rowan Elementary School encourages active play.
Grant allows students use video games to stay in shape BY SARAH HOLDER For the Salisbury Post
Children and adults competed Friday in dancing, boxing and hurdles at North Rowan Elementary School. The competition took place via video games in the new interactive game room. Several fifth-graders showed off the equipment during a demonstration for the Rowan Salisbury School System’s School Health Advisory Council, which was hosted in the transformed playroom. “A lot of these kids have the games at home,” said John Brady, North Rowan’s physical education teacher, “so they can have fun and teach the adults at the same time.” The fifth-graders had no problem lending their skills. “I like how you can do something really fun and get exercise at the same time,” said student Destiny Cathcart, who played Dance Dance Revolution with peer Jacob Young and various Student Health Advisory Council members. Cathcart and others can do that because of an A+ Fit School designation and grant, both of which North Rowan Elementary received this past year. The new game room continues a trend. For the past seven years, North Rowan has been a starting point for healthy change. Nutritious meal plans are tested and approved at the school, and an initiative to have fresh fruit every day is now a staple for students. Exercise was the last piece of the puzzle. Amy Smith, health education specialist with the Rowan County Health Department, joined North Rowan Elementary to apply for state funding. In July,

Questions about diabetics and footwear BY RALPH BAKER JR. Special to the Salisbury Post
Question: Why is it important for diabetics to have special shoes? Answer: The statistics speak for themselves. There are 24 million cases of diabetes in the United States. Sixty percent to 70 percent of people with diabetes have some degree of nerve damage. The chances of developing a foot ulcer are as high as 25 percent in these folks. Not only are foot ulcers hard to heal, but they often lead to amputation. There are 60,000 amputations in this country every year, but it has been proven that prevention programs could reduce amputations by as much as 85 percent. While these shoes are not a miracle cure, we know that improper shoes are the trigger for numerous foot problems. Many times people develop foot complications from wearing shoes that do not fit correctly regardless of the quality of the shoes. This program ensures that you are properly fit in quality footwear by a trained professional.
Q: If I have Medicare, are the shoes free? A: The Diabetic Shoe Program should never be thought of as “free shoes.” With the proper documentation from your physician, Medicare will cover 80 percent of the total cost of the shoe package after the annual deductible has been met. The patient is responsible for the other 20 percent, but oftentimes supplemental insurance will cover the expense. The whole reason this program was established in 1995 was to actually save money. The cost of amputations runs over $6 billion a year in this country. The money spent on proper footwear has proven to be a great preventative. Q: What makes these shoes different than what I can buy in the store? A: To begin with, the shoe program is a package, not just a pair of shoes. The package covers the shoes themselves, total contact inserts which are molded to the foot to distribute pressure evenly, a comprehenandy mooney/SALISBURY POST sive foot evaluation to deterRalph Baker Jr. sands down a custom made shoe inmine the needs and condition of

Study: Eating more fiber could mean longer life CHICAGO (AP) — Eat more fiber and you just may live longer. That’s the message from the largest study of its kind to find a link between high-fiber diets and lower risks of death not only from heart disease, but from infectious and respiratory illnesses as well. The government study also ties fiber with a lower risk of cancer deaths in men, but not women, possibly because men are more likely to die from cancers related to diet, like cancers of the esophagus. And it finds the overall benefit to be strongest for diets high in fiber from grains. Most Americans aren’t getting enough roughage in their diets. The average American eats only about 15 grams of fiber each day, much less than the current daily recommendation of 25 grams for women and 38 grams for men, or 14 grams per 1,000 calories. For example, a slice of whole wheat bread contains 2 to 4 grams of fiber. In the new study, the people who met the guidelines were less likely to die during a nine-year follow-up period. The men and women who ate the highest amount of fiber were 22 percent less likely to die from any cause compared to those who ate the lowest amount, said lead author Dr. Yikyung Park of the National Cancer Institute. The study, appearing in Monday’s Archives of Internal Medicine, included more than 388,000 adults, ages 50 to 71, who participated in a diet and health study conducted by the National Institutes of Health and AARP. They filled out a questionnaire in 1995 or 1996 about their eating habits. It asked them to estimate how often they ate 124 food items. After nine years, more than 31,000 of the participants had died. National records were used to find out who died and the cause of death. The researchers took into account other risk factors including weight, education level, smoking and health status and still saw lower risks of death in people who ate more fiber. “The results suggest that the benefits of dietary fiber go beyond heart health,” said Dr. Frank Hu of the Harvard School of Public Health, who wasn’t involved in the new research but co-authored an editorial in the journal. The evidence for fiber’s benefits has been strongest in diabetes and heart disease, where it’s thought to improve cholesterol levels, blood pressure, inflammation and blood sugar levels. Fiber’s benefits also may come from its theorized ability to bind to toxins and move them out of the body quicker. Highfiber diets can promote weight loss by making people feel full, which has its own healthpromoting effects. However it works, fiber may offer a prevention benefit against killers like pneumonia and flu, the new study suggests. The cancer benefit may have shown up only in the men because they’re more likely than women to die from cancers related to diet, Park said. Fiber is found in fruits, vegetables and beans. But fiber from grains was most strongly tied to the lowered risk in the study. “That’s what seemed to be driving all these relationships,” said Lawrence de Koning of the Harvard School of Public Health, a co-author of the editorial. Whole grains also contain vitamins and minerals, which may play a role in reducing risk, he said. For that reason, supplements may not be as effective. “Nothing beats the original food,” he said. He suggested substituting whole wheat bread for white bread as a simple way to increase fiber from grains. What does a high-fiber diet look like? A woman who wants to meet the 25 gram guidelines for daily fiber intake could eat one-third cup of bran cereal (9 grams), a half cup of cooked beans (10 grams), a small apple with skin (4 grams) and a half cup of mixed vegetables (4 grams). To reach 38 grams, a man could eat all that — plus about 23 almonds (4 grams), a baked potato (3 grams), an oat bran muffin (3 grams) and an orange (3 grams). Experts recommend adding fiber gradually to allow your digestive system time to get used to it.
The average American eats only about 15 grams of fiber each day — the daily recommended intake is 25 grams per day for women and 38 grams per day for men.

However, these look much better than the choices we had 15 years ago, and these are the same styles we sell daily on our retail sales floor. You need to remember that these shoes are designed for a purpose and that purpose is foot health. In most cases, the “pretty shoes” are not the healthiest choices. That being said, we do have some neat looking new styles for men and women but you should never compromise comfort for looks.

Mary gives tips on how to have a killer garage sale Whether your goal is to purge your home of stuff you no longer need or to raise some cash (or both), you have options. You could sell your items on an auction website, list them in the classifieds or just give the stuff away. Or you MARY could host a HUNT killer garage sale that turns your castoffs into cold hard cash by following these steps:
your sale area. Take the time to repair and clean your sale items and your sale area, too. Dirt, grime and clutter repel shoppers. A nicely ordered space draws ready, willing and able buyers.
sections. For example, put all kitchen items together in one area and toys and games in another. Make sure all of your clothes are hung. Rig up a makeshift hanging clothes rack with two ladders or hooks from the ceiling. Do not pile clothes on a table or in boxes. • Point of purchase. The place where you will collect money is also a great place to sell cookies, coffee, snacks and drinks. If you have small items — e.g., toys or jewelry — that don't go with anything else, divvy them up into small lunch bags. Then seal them, and mark them as “Grab Bags!” Priced reasonably and placed right by the checkout, they will fly off the table.
• Pricing. Your goal is to get rid of your stuff while making some money. Research the prices of similar items on eBay and Craigslist. For high-ticket items priced at more than $100, make sure you include manuals, warranties and other information that would be beneficial to the buyer.
• Plan ahead. Give yourself more than a few weeks to get ready. Make sure the date you select is not conflicting with a holiday or a community event. Check local laws regarding signage, restrictions and a requirement, if any, to get a permit.
• Advertise. At the very least, put a sign at the end of your street. But if you really want to attract motivated buyers, get serious with the advertising. Consider an ad in the newspaper. Post on bulletin boards, and circulate fliers. You want your ad to stand out.
• Get organized. It pays to put your stuff in order. Designate
• Setting up. Make your layout deliberate. Group things in
Q: I’m diabetic, but my feet never hurt. Why should I be concerned about shoes? A: I’ve seen lots of people and lots of feet in my lifetime in the shoe business and 14 years as a pedorthist. Most of my clients come in complaining that their feet hurt and I work on a solution to address that pain. But, believe it or not, the most serious foot problems are found in those that never complain about foot pain. So often, neuropathy affects the nerves so that pain is not felt and sores are allowed to form on the feet. These sores can quickly lead to infection and amputation. I’ve had countless cases where patients have come in to just get a pair of shoes and I’ve discovered major foot problems that required medical care. That’s why it’s so important to have your feet checked regularly by your doctor.
Q: I’ve heard it’s harder to get the shoes this year. Is that true? A: Medicare has made a number of changes this year to ensure that only those that need the shoes will get them. You must be diabetic and have at least one of the following conditions: poor circulation, foot deformity, peripheral neuropathy with callus formation, history of pre-ulcerative calluses, history of previous foot ulceration, or previous amputation. Give us a call at 704636-1850 and we’ll mail you a Diabetic Certification and prescription along with a letter for your doctor. You’ll need to take these to your family doctor during your next appointment. The certification must be signed by a MD or a DO. Your doctor must also include notes from your chart substantiating the existence of one of the qualifying conditions.

NATIONAL CAMPAIGN KICKS OFF
Children & fire safety s the National Weather Service reminds us, dry weather and wind increase the risk of destructive outdoor fires. But families also need to be aware of another fire factor as winter wears on — the risk of children being injured or dying in house fires. Federal officials kicked off a national safety campaign this week emphasizing fire safety and, in particular, the vulnerabilities of the very young. Overall, fires are the third-leading cause of accidental death (after transportation mishaps and drownings) among children younger than 15, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. However, the odds skew significantly for victims under age 5, who make up 50 perof all child fire Victims under cent deaths and injuries. age 5 make up That stems from a variety of causes. Un50 percent of like adults, younger all child fire children often don’t know what to do in the deaths and event of a house fire. injuries. They may live in homes without functioning smoke detectors, or they may not realize what a shrieking alarm signifies. Rather than flee the house, they may try to hide in a closet or under the bed. Some of the same guidelines that protect adults also help protect children, such as having working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and being especially vigilant when using space heaters, fireplaces or wood-burning stoves. Federal officials also offer these guidelines for additional protection of young children: • Never allow children to play near a fireplace, wood-burning stove, space heater or hot oven. Establish a 3-foot safety zone around all sources of heat. • Always dress children in pajamas that meet federal flammability standards. Avoid dressing children for sleep in loose-fitting, 100 percent cotton garments, such as oversized T-shirts. • Show children how to crawl low on the floor, below the smoke, to get out of the house and stay out. Make and practice a home fire escape plan and set a meeting place outside. • Let children know what a smoke alarm sounds like and what to do when they hear it. Parents may resist talking to youngsters about fire safety and evacuation plans in the understandable but mistaken belief that it will provoke needless anxieties. But the youngest children are particularly susceptible to the risks of fires. It’s never too early to teach lessons that can help save lives.

Common sense
(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)
All that we don’t know is astonishing. Even more astonishing is what passes for knowing. — Philip Roth
Moderately Confused
Founding fathers’ lessons Jefferson, Adams clashed but worked together ow do you live or work with someone who sees the world through a different lens than you do? This was the challenge facing Thomas Jefferson and John Adams back in 1776. Adams, considered by most historians to be a conservative, and Jefferson, whom most view as a liberal, were the two men primarily responsible for writing and presenting the Declaration of IndeLISA EARLE pendence. Espousing MCLEOD seemingly competing ideals — ideals that many suggest represent the roots of this country’s liberal versus conservative debates — Jefferson and Adams came together in that one shining moment to create something that was bigger than either of them could have envisioned alone. Jefferson, an advocate for freedom of thought, and Adams, a staunch believer in the rule of law, were unlikely allies. Some may believe that we would better off if only one voice had prevailed. Yet it was their very combination of the ideals that made our nation great. In the years that followed their collaboration on The Declaration of Independence, Jefferson and Adams’ political differences frequently put them at odds, and for many years they were bitter rivals.
H
They continued their synergistic push/pull relationship even in death. In a you-can’tmake-this-up-history-meets-divine-intervention moment, both men died on the same day, the fourth of July. Jefferson passed first and then Adams. On July 4, 1826, exactly 50 years to the day from the birth of the country they founded, both men passed away without even knowing that their longtime co-creator and nemesis was facing his demise as well. Popular history says that John Adams’ last words were, “Jefferson survives.” Was he was terrified of what might happen if he left the earth with Jefferson still on it? Or was he eager to greet his partner and frequent nemesis on the other side? Perhaps both. Perhaps, in the space between his last breath and his passing, John Adams saw the beauty of it all. He saw how the universe had sent two stubborn idealists to the time and place the world needed them most. How their ideals and their love for their cause had conspired to create something amazing at a time when much of the world didn't even believe it was possible. And perhaps he also saw how he had become a better person as a result of it. If there is an afterlife, I imagine Mr. Adams and Mr. Jefferson in their breeches and hats, greeting each other with a hearty handshake saying, “Well done, partner. Well done.”
LETTERS How government accounting works Last week the Post published a letter complaining about government accounting. Like most people, the writer doesn’t understand the difference between government and private business accounting. To begin with, government accounting is done basically on a cash basis. For day-to-day operations this is the same as the private sector. Except that a lot of government spending is for highways, buildings and such things as ships and airplanes. When government buys a new building they count the cost in this year’s expenses even though the building will last 40 years. A private business, building the same building, would spread the cost over the building's 40year life. That is one main difference. The second issue he raised was budgets. The writer seems to be under the impression private businesses don’t have budgets, or that they allow operating levels to shift budgeted items around willynilly. That may be true in small, owner-managed businesses, but for larger, more complex companies money doesn’t get shifted around quite that easily. Speaking from personal experience, I can assure readers that shifting significant sums from one account to another does require higher levels of approval in any well-managed business. Bear in mind, taxpayers, government deals with your money. Do you really want low- to mid-level managers deciding where to shift your tax dollars without any oversight? I don’t. As members of the city council, county commission
TO THE
The path to greatness is forged by people who have the courage to assimilate big picture ideas. It might be easier to live, work or govern with people who agree with you about everything. But, often the people who disagree with us are helping us even more. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams love their country too much to settle for simplistic either/or debates. They believed we deserved better than that. We still do. The next time you find yourself in a situation where it seems like you have to choose between two important ideals or you find yourself arguing with someone about one idea versus another, pause and ask yourself, “Do we really have to decide? Is this really all we’re capable of being? Or is there another way?” And if you’re feeling frustrated with the people around you, you might want to consider the possibility that perhaps the universe has sent you a John Adams. • • • Lisa Earle McLeod is the president of McLeod & More, Inc., an international training and consulting firm, and author of “The Triangle of Truth: The Surprisingly Simple Secret To Resolving Conflicts Large and Small” (Penguin 2010). www.TriangleofTruth.com

When they are large and not so clear in intent, those governing bodies take a good hard look at the why and how much.

We’re all at fault The recent terrible tragedy in Tucson, Ariz., has everyone pointing fingers at someone else. But all of us are guilty for not speaking out a long time ago against the pollution of our air waves. Violence and video games portray evil, murder and pornography as entertainment. We cannot create a culture of death without reaping its bitter fruits. No one is safe anywhere any more. Little babies are murdered in the womb every day. The King James Bible (Exodus 20: 3-17) gives us the commandments for a safe and happy life. Every human being is responsible for helping to make this happen. Each one of us must return to the God-given values that
cost nothing, yet bring peace on Earth and good will to men. — Faye Coble Gold Hill
Higher guidance Perhaps in moderating the Guiding Light Missionary Baptist Association, the Rev. John Jones could teach his congregants how to run church meetings. There should be respect for one another’s opinions and ideas without the need for deputies to keep the screaming dissidents in line. The oversight for wayward pastors should be within the denomination. It certainly is not the business of the Salisbury Post to “bring light upon” personnel problems within a local church. The Post accurately reported a police call(s) to a church. That is what newspapers do, Reverend Jones. I don’t believe the Post, its employees and editors have time to sit around and figure how to cover up Pastor Barr’s antics, or much less “protect” a sheriff. Take responsibility for your churches. Work out your issues privately with your congregations. Pastor Barr is your problem. Don’t expect the Post or the sheriff to do your job. Try prayer ... it works. — Meg Huffman Spencer
ALEIGH — North Carolina legislators need to take a road trip, going east on Interstate 40 for about 30 miles, and then heading south on Interstate 95 for another 35 miles or so to Fayetteville. After tooling around for a while, they can jump back on the road, heading north for 200 miles along I-95 to Richmond. Taking in these two cities, North Carolina’s elected representatives can get a good gander SCOTT of what MOONEYHAM places look like when they aren’t allowed to grow, when political leaders prohibit annexation. Right now, the new Republican majority in the legislature seems intent on not only stopping future involuntary annexation, but on undoing some controversial annexations already approved by local town boards. The state Senate has begun considering legislation to put a one-year, statewide moratorium on involuntary annexations. Bills have also been filed to repeal recent annexations in Lexington, Kinston and Rocky Mount. More bills affecting more towns and cities are expected. Legislators are responding to angry constituents who don’t want to be taken into city limits and don’t want to pay city taxes. Many are transplants from states with far less aggressive annexation rules. Their belief that North Carolina’s annexation laws are overbearing and unfair shouldn’t be unexpected. They also make the case that cities and towns have sometimes applied the laws unwisely or improperly, giving back residents little in return for their taxes or throwing too much costs on residents — for things like sewer and water hook-ups — too fast. Still, there’s Fayetteville and Richmond — case studies in what cities that cannot grow can and will become. For 24 years, from 1959 until 1983, Fayetteville was legislatively prohibited from taking in the surrounding urban areas. The result is uneven sprawl and ugly commercial development, created first by disparate development standards and then by a race to the bottom between the city and county regarding those standards. The city where I live, outside of its revitalized downtown, remains one of the ugliest in North Carolina. That ugliness damages residents’ quality of life and hurts the recruiting of major industry. Thirty years ago and today, Fort Bragg is the city’s economic savior. Up the highway, in Richmond, legislators effectively blocked annexation in 1981. A “temporary” annexation moratorium went into effect in 1987. Virginia legislators extended it multiple times since then, allowing the prohibition to remain in effect for the last 24 years. Ever since then, Raleigh and Charlotte have been racing past Richmond.. That’s not my opinion. In 2010, Forbes magazine ranked Raleigh third and Charlotte 17th when it comes to best places for business and careers in the United States. Richmond ranked 50th, its job growth 104th, its projected job growth 129th Republicans have come to power in Raleigh saying that they are all about promoting job growth. They’ve also come to power on a populist wave demanding more responsive government. They might want to recognize that how they respond to the second can affect the first. • • • Scott Mooneyham writes about state government for Capitol Press Association.

FROM 1a A new 95-room Courtyard Marriott is planned for the I85 interchange on East Innes Street. The hotel, which will generate about $120,000 in annual occupancy taxes, is scheduled to open in the first half of 2012. Work has begun on the culde-sac that will serve the hotel, restaurant and retail stores. When hotel occupancy rates in a community top 60 percent, it signals that the market can support additional rooms, Meacham said. Occupancy rates in Salisbury are at 64 percent. “Our challenge is to make sure a new hotel project would complement our existing portfolio and not compete,” he said. Another hotel the calibre of Courtyard Marriott could represent a $10 million investment, Meacham said, delivering $60,000 in annual property tax revenue to the city and county and generating $120,000 in occupancy tax dollars, as well as $150,000 in sales tax revenue and creating about 20 jobs. “The hotel problem in Rowan County is not that we’re overbuilt,” Meacham said. “We’re under-demol-

ished.” The Courtyard Marriott, which will stand on the site of an abandoned motel, is a good example of the “raze and rebuild” hotel projects that Rowan County needs, Meacham said. Business recruitment by tourism officials will go handin-hand with a tourism master plan in development, Meacham said. He expects to unveil the master plan this summer, which will include where, when and how the tourism authorities will go after commercial development. Their efforts will require a significant amount of due diligence, he said. “This is not a general sales

Companies in industries including food, aviation, wood production are interested in location in Rowan County, Van Geons said, and RowanWorks is courting a $120 million specialty manufacturing operation that would employ 100 people.
and mass marketing campaign,” Meacham said. “We will be going after specific pieces of the overall economic development puzzle.” The targeted effort will not hurt existing tourism businesses, he said. The first collaboration between Meacham and Van Geons was a small project at the airport. Their agencies partnered on a popular kiosk for visitors, which acts as a local database providing regularly updated hotel rates, restaurant hours, directions and information on local activities and attractions.

spreading wildfires was from mid-afternoon through the early evening hours Monday, and the meteorologists were right. One fire Monday behind an Enochville home on Dusty Oaks Trail burned a little more than an acre, coming inches from setting the home on fire, and 20 feet from the back door of another home that is 100 yards away through the woods. The fire was caused by trash burning in a barrel, said homeowner Sandra Little. Little’s husband Rodney is terminally ill, she said, and didn’t realize the threat to his home, family and neighbors when he started burning trash Monday afternoon. “He came out to burn some trash and I’m guessing the wind picked some up out of the barrel,” she said. “I was across the street at my mom and dad’s house and saw the smoke. “We got really lucky. It scared me to death. I’m just thankful no one lost their home.” David Poole, Rowan County’s forest ranger, said trash burning is the number one cause of fires in the county. “The winds gusted up to 35 mph today,” Poole said, and
“There are also mobile homes over there it could have gotten,” Gray said pointing to the other side of the woods. “It jumped the creek, but we got over there and put it out.” Another fire started near 1700 Barncliff Court, and a woman who was trying to put out the fire fell into it and burned her knee, Rowan County Fire Ranger David Poole said. Her name and condition were not available. A brush fire struck the city Monday afternoon, too, but only burned a 16-square-foot area near Ashley’s Emproidery at 1009 W. Innes St. Salisbury Fire Chief Bob Parnell said the fire was quickly controlled and there were no injuries or damages to the building. “We encourage all citizens to be careful with open flame and smoking materials at all times,” Parnell said. Other brush fires reported via emergency communications Monday were at 1156 St. Luke’s Church Road and at 1495 Saul Road in Enochville. The wind is supposed to die down today, with the largest gusts reaching only 7 mph the National Weather Service said. Nonetheless, firefighters and the Rowan County forest rangers urge everyone to be cautious about outdoor burning and to be careful about disposing of chimney or stove ashes.

FROM 1a
the critical fire danger meant that the fires could quickly grow in size. Over the weekend the weather conditions — low humidity and high winds — were also brewing disaster, as forest rangers responded to at least five brush fires over the weekend. But Monday, the quick response of the firefighters is what saved lives and homes off Dusty Oak Trail. “These fire departments did a good job,” Poole said. “All the firefighters in this county are an asset. They come out and they risk their lives every day.” A bigger fire that started in a field and moved into woods near 2135 N.C. 801 took several fire departments and a tractor to knock down trees so firefighters could get to the fire. More than 5 acres burned after burning trash was carried into a dry field. Woodleaf Assistant Fire Chief James Gray has been fighting fires for more than four decades and in that time he’s seen his fair share of brush fires. “The wind was just boosting it,” he said. “People shouldn’t burn trash with the wind blowing. It only takes one little spark.” When firefighter arrived they sent a brush truck down each side of the field to help keep the blaze away from the nearby woods.

Obama sends Congress $3.7T budget
Gulf oil spill claims process beset by red tape NEW ORLEANS (AP) — President Barack Obama vowed during a White House speech last June that the $20 billion he helped coax out of BP for an oil spill compensation fund would take care of victims “as quickly, as fairly and as transparently as possible.” Eight months later, that’s not how things look to many people along the Gulf Coast. Tens of thousands of fishermen, oyster shuckers, business owners, hotel operators and hairdressers still await payment. Many others whose claims have been turned down question the evenhandedness. And without the data to determine who is right, attorneys general and members of Congress question the openness. An Associated Press review that included interviews with legal experts, government officials and more than 300 Gulf residents found a process beset by red tape and delay, and

Copies of the U.S. Government budget for Fiscal Year 2012 are stacked up at the U.S. Government Printing Office in Washington on Monday. President Obama has made cuts to the budget in effort to reduce the federal deficit.
NEW YORK (AP) — Shoppers looking to update their wardrobes may find their money won’t stretch as far. As the world economy recovers and demand for goods rises, a surge in raw material and labor costs is squeezing retailers and manufacturers who have run out of ways to pare expenses. Clothing prices had dropped for a decade as tame inflation and cheap overseas labor helped hold down manufacturers’ costs. During the recession, retailers and clothing makers cut frills and experimented with fabric blends to keep prices in check. But cotton has more than doubled in price over the past year, hitting all-time highs. The price of synthetic fabrics has jumped roughly 50 percent as demand for alternatives has risen. Clothing prices are expected to rise about 10 percent in coming months, with the biggest increases in the second half of the year, said Burt Flickinger III president of Strategic Resource Group.
GM to pay millions of dollars in bonuses to hourly workers DETROIT (AP) — Less than two years after entering bankruptcy, General Motors will extend millions of dollars in bonuses to most of its 48,000 hourly workers as a reward for the company’s rapid turnaround after it was rescued by the government. The payments, disclosed Monday in company documents, are similar to bonuses announced last week for white-collar employees. The bonuses to 76,000 American workers will probably total more than $400 million — an amount that suggests executives have increasing confidence in the automaker’s comeback. In the four years leading up to its 2009 bankruptcy, GM piled up more than $80 billion in losses and was burdened by enormous debt and costly labor contracts. “On the whole, we made tremendous progress last year,” CEO and Chairman Dan Akerson said Monday in an email message to employees announcing the payments. “With our collective teamwork, this can be just the beginning.” The company made $4.2 billion in the first nine months of 2010 and is expected to announce a fourth-quarter profit soon.

The so-called Valentine’s Bandit started the tradition in Montpelier in 2002. Each year, residents wake up to find the red hearts affixed to buildings, shop windows and other downtown fixtures. The “phantom” has his — or her — own Facebook page, dubbed the Montpelier Valentine Phantom Phan Page. Appreciative fans took to Facebook on Monday. One thanked the Phantom for making her drive to work wonderful.

at NOGALES, Ariz. (AP) — Another tunnel likely being dug by drug smugglers has been found beneath the U.S.Mexico border in Nogales, Ariz. U.S. Border Patrol agents discovered the tunnel under construction Friday. They say the tunnel entrance is located within the Grand Avenue Drainage System in Mexico and continues north into the United States below a parking lot. The hand-dug tunnel extends about 19 feet north, 15 feet of which is located within the U.S. Authorities say the tunnel is about 2 feet wide and 3 feet tall. It contained a breaker bar, safety glasses, knee pads, crow bar, sledge hammers, chisels and hoes.

SHIP, Mich. (AP) — Western Michigan authorities say a man killed two horses belonging to his wife and a stable owner he suspected was having an affair with her. Ottawa County sheriff’s Lt. Mark Bennett says the suspect argued with his wife Friday night at the property of the stable owner in Jamestown Township, about 10 miles southwest of Grand Rapids. Bennett tells The Grand Rapids Press that the husband returned Saturday and used a knife to kill his wife’s quarter horse and the owner’s Palomino. Forty-seven-year-old Dennis Finkler of Conklin was arraigned Monday on two counts of animal cruelty and one count of malicious destruction of property. He has no listed telephone number and could not immediately be reached for comment.

Now, the dissatisfaction has reached a fever pitch: Lawmakers in Washington are demanding the White House step in, the Louisiana governor and others want a federal judge to intervene, and the people most affected by the Deepwater Horizon disaster are threatening to line the courthouse steps if they don’t get the changes they seek from administrator Kenneth Feinberg.

59 arrested in Super Bowl prostitution crackdown ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Arlington police say they arrested 59 people on prostitution-related counts during a Super Bowl-week undercover operation. The police department ran its “You Never Know” campaign from Jan. 27 through Feb. 6, Super Bowl Sunday, in cooperation with other federal, state and local agencies. An Arlington police statement says undercover officers answered online escort advertisements and ran online ads of their own to solicit clients According to the statement, 13 of the 59 people arrested were from out of town and identified as being in the area specifically because of the Super Bowl. Three men were arrested on warrants and are suspected to be pimps, and one of those men faces a human trafficking charge.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The possible heirs of Egypt’s uprising took to the streets Monday in different corners of the Middle East: Iran’s beleaguered opposition stormed back to central Tehran and came under a tear gas attack by police. Demonstrators faced rubber bullets and birdshot to demand more freedoms in the relative wealth of Bahrain. And protesters pressed for the ouster of the ruler in poverty-drained Yemen. The protests — all with critical interests for Washington — offer an important lesson about how groups across Middle East are absorbing the message from Cairo and tailoring it to their own aspirations. The heady themes of democracy, justice and empowerment remain intact as the protest wave works it way through the Arab world and beyond. What changes, however, are the objectives. The Egypt effect, it seems, is elastic. “This isn’t a one-size-fits-all thing,” said Mustafa Alani, a regional analyst at the Gulf Research Center in Dubai. “Each place will interpret the fallout from Egypt in their own way and in their own context.” For the Iranian opposition — not seen on the streets in more than a year — it’s become a moment to reassert its presence after facing relentless pressures.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Putting on the brakes after two years of big spending increases, President Barack Obama unveiled a $3.7 trillion budget plan Monday that would freeze or reduce some safety-net programs for the nation’s poor but turn aside Republican demands for more drastic cuts to shrink the government to where it was before he took office. The 10-year blueprint makes “tough choices and sacrifices,” Obama said in his official budget message. Yet the plan, which sets the stage for this week’s nasty congressional fight over cuts in the budget year that’s already more than one-third over, steers clear of deeply controversial long-term problem areas such as Social Security and Medicare. The budget relies heavily on the recovering economy, tax increases and rosy economic assumptions to estimate that the federal deficit would drop from this year’s record $1.6 trillion — an astronomical figure that requires the government to borrow 43 cents out of every dollar it spends — to about $600 billion after five years. Obama foresees a deficit of $1.1 trillion for the new budget year, which begins Oct. 1, still very high by historical benchmarks but moving in the right direction. The president claims $1.1 trillion in deficit savings over the coming decade for his plan, a 12 percent cut from the federal deficits the administration otherwise projects. But that figure includes almost $650 billion in spending cuts and new transportation revenues the administration won’t specify.

Bobcats rout Lakers BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press
CHARLOTTE — Los Angeles Lakers Bobcats 109 coach Phil Lakers 89 J a c k s o n was so upset he spoke to reporters for 5 seconds and then walked away. Kobe Bryant sneaked out of the locker room before addressing the press at all. A once promising road trip has quickly turned sour for the two-time defending champions, although they probably should have seen their most lopsided loss of the season coming. The Charlotte Bobcats somehow own them. Gerald Wallace had 20 points and 11 rebounds, Gerald Henderson added 18 points and helped slow Bryant, and the Bobcats cruised to a 109-89 victory on
Monday night to extend one of the more unusual one-sided matchups in the NBA. The Bobcats have won eight of the past 10 meetings. The Lakers, 5-8 all-time against the NBA’s newest team, hold a losing record against only one other club — the Boston Celtics. This latest loss, full of missed shots and poor defense and coming on the heels of an ugly defeat in Orlando, left Jackson steamed. “I’m embarrassed about what we did and that’s it,” Jackson said as he began to stroll away. “Thank you.” The Lakers then continued to keep the locker room closed to reporters, allowing Bryant to slip out and head to the bus after he scored 20 points. But Bryant missed 11 of his first 16 shots, got to the foul line only four times and committed five fouls as he played de-

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Michael Waltrip still remembers what he felt the first time he smacked into one of the impact-absorbing SAFER barriers that sprouted on racetrack walls in the wake of Dale Earnhardt’s death. Or, rather, what he didn’t feel. As his car skidded toward the wall, a thought flashed through Waltrip’s mind: He was planning a vacation, but figured he now would be headed to the hospital instead. “We were going to Costa Rica the next day,” Waltrip said. “As soon as it blew, I thought, ‘I’m not going anywhere. I’m going to be eating out of a straw is what’s going to happen to me.’” And then ... nothing. “I braced myself and went up and hit it, and I was like, ‘That didn’t hurt! That didn’t hurt at all!’” Waltrip said. Like so many drivers since Earnhardt died, Waltrip walked away unscathed. With the 10-year anniversary of Earnhardt’s fatal accident looming at Daytona In-
ternational Speedway this week, the NASCAR great’s legacy can be seen every time one of today’s drivers waves to the crowd and remembers to thank his sponsors on TV after a crash that might have sent him to the hospital — or worse — not so long ago. Earnhardt’s loss was the wake-up call that caused a safety revolution, so much so that there hasn’t been a driver death on the track in NASCAR’s top three divisions since then. It was a major change for a sport that had been at the back of the pack when it came to driver safety. “If you were in my shoes 10 years ago, 11 years ago, and you said to me then, ‘Ten years from now all these things are going to happen,’ I’d say, ‘You’re nuts. There’s not the willingness, the mindset, the dedication; it will never happen,’” Jeff Burton said. “I would have been wrong. We take for granted a lot of stuff. Drivers coming in today have no concept of what this was like 10, 11 years ago. No concept.” Earnhardt’s death, and the national scrutiny it brought to NASCAR, resulted in several

MOUNT ULLA — B.J. Sherrill W. Rowan 78 shooting E. Rowan 37 layups is just as much of a sure thing as Sherrill on a quarterback sneak on third-and-1. On Monday, the quarterback who directed three 3A football state championships looked interested in keeping his basketball career going for a while. “It’s down to the nittygritty now,” Sherrill said. “We want to play great from here on out.” Sherrill led a bunch of get-it-andgo Falcons, B.J. SHERRILL w h o played more confidently and forcefully than previo u s l y . T h e y crushed E a s t Rowan 7837 in the first round of the NPC MORGAN tournament. “When B.J. is yelling, everyone knows to listen,” said junior forward Jarvis Morgan, who added two more dunks to his growing collection. “He’s been around a long time, so it was time to listen up.” The score could’ve been much worse. West coach Mike Gurley instructed high-scoring Keshun Sherrill, who had 18 points at halftime, to limit himself to passing and dribbling. He took just two shots in the second half and finished with 21. Second-seeded West led 47-14 at the break. Seventh-seeded East trailed 98 when Jared Hough scored inside, but the Falcons buried East 38-6 the last 12 minutes of the half. “West played with a chip

CHINA GROVE — Since he wasn’t N. Iredell 52 s l i c i n g Carson 41 t h r o u g h nets at the usual pace, Carson’s Nick Houston had to go off on something at the end of the first half Monday night. “I got mad and ripped my jersey when we got down by 15,” Houston said. Houston’s display of frustration summarized the Cougars’ night in a 52-41 defeat at the hands of North Iredell in the first round of the North Piedmont Conference Tournament. Switching from his usual No. 33 jersey to No. 42 at halftime temporarily aided the Cougars’ leading scorer, who had been sick with the flu, but a nine-point first half from the team couldn’t be overcome. “They stymied us in the first half and never could get anything going offensively,” Carson coach Brian Perry said. “It’s just tough to overcome a nine-point first-half.” Carson, the NPC’s No. 4 seed, now must hope a team from the bottom half of the league such as North doesn’t win the tournament and rob the Cougars of their playoff

Carson limited its guest to singledigit points in the first three quarters. “If we would have played like we did tonight against whoever we play Thursday, we might not have a shot at it,” said Carson’s Allison Blackwell, who had 15 points as did Sarah Holman. “It’s a good thing that we have two days to prepare.” Tyesha Phillips gave Carson the lead for keeps on the opening basket of the game.

South’s season over BY RONNIE GALLAGHER rgallagher@salisburypost.com
STATESVILLE — John Davis stood W. Iredell 73 outside the S. Rowan 67 S o u t h Rowan locker room, drenched with sweat and wearing a familiar look. “That’s the story of the season,” he sighed after the Raiders ended one of the most frustrating campaigns in school history. South battled right to the end at West Iredell in the first round of the North Piedmont Conference tournament before losing 73-67. The Raiders ended their season 8-14. But it was the way South lost that was the story of the season. Josh Medlin and Johnathan Gaddy were putting on a show at the start of the fourth quarter. Medlin took a pass from Gaddy for a long 3-pointer and then Gaddy scored four straight. With 3:04 left, the Raiders led 60-56 and seemingly had all the momentum. Just like that, they were outscored 17-7 the rest of the way. “We had them three times,” Davis scoffed. “We’ve had ’em all at some point and time.” When South took its lead, it had held West Iredell star Zach Follrod to just two points in the fourth. That’s when the Warrior star started getting the ball.
GADDY
MEDLIN
Uh-oh. In those final three minutes, Follrod posted up inside and scored 11 points. He was 9 of 10 from the line. He even dumped it down inside for two assists with shorter Raiders hanging all over him. In the end, the 6-foot-5 Follrod had burned South for 38 points. “Basketball is a simple game,” Davis said. “If you’re undersized, you’ve got to be a Tazmanian Devil. You’ve got to get after somebody and root them out from the basket. We helped him.” Follrod’s performance didn’t surprise West Iredell coach Benjamin Johnson. Follrod has averaged over 30 points against the Raiders in three games, including one for 42. “He had their number,” Johnson said. “He knew what their weaknesses were. And he doesn’t turn the ball over.” The 6 p.m. starting time had both teams a bit out of sorts. Neither could get anything going early and they went into halftime tied at 26. “Both teams were in a lit-
tle of a funk,” Davis said. There were 53 points scored in a wild fourth quarter, with Medlin putting up 12 of South’s first 14 points. When he hit a corner three off a Gaddy assist, the Raiders led 56-54. But they managed just one more basket, a late layup by Mark McDaniel, while Follrod went nuts at the foul line. His last two made it a sixpoint game with 11 seconds remaining. He was 14 of 16 for the game from the stripe. Yet another close loss left Davis exasperated. He won’t get to coach this senior class again. “They’re a good bunch of kids,” he said. “This year was fun, even though we didn’t necessarily get the number of wins we wanted. “The games were always interesting. We were like the Cardiac Pack, only in reverse.” • NOTES: West Iredell (13-9) will now meet West Rowan in the semifinals ... Follrod scored his 1,000th point in the first quarter. ... At one point in the second half, Gaddy and Medlin scored 39 straight points for South.

West Rowan girls romp BY MIKE LONDON mlonsdon@salisburypost.com
MOUNT ULLA — West Rowan’s W. Rowan 74 girls boast W. Iredell 41 three of the county’s top eight scorers, and Ayana Avery, Nycieko Dixon and Shay Steele filled it up again on Monday. They combined for 57 points as the third-seeded Falcons (16-8) blew out West Iredell 74-41 in the first round of the NPC tournament. “Except for the first quarter we played pretty good,” said Avery, who scored 25 points. “We picked it up.” The Falcons drilled a dozen 3s — six by Avery, five by Dixon, one by Brooke Harrington — to wipe out the sixth-seeded Warriors (3-18). Chelsea Ellis, who scored

21 for West Iredell, hit a 3pointer seven minutes into the game for an 11-7 lead, but then the Falcons took over. Avery hit a runner and a 3pointer to erase WI’s lead. Then Dixon scored 10 of her 20 in one electrifying burst. She got a layup off a blocked shot by Alison Sobataka and drained two 3s before racing for a layup. Then it was Avery’s turn, and the Falcons’ all-time leading scorer (1,890 points) swished three 3-balls in a span of 59 sensational sec-
onds. West scored 16 unanswered, finished the first half on a wicked 27-2 run and extinguished West Iredell’s hopes of extending its season. “We took them lightly early on,” West Rowan coach Erich Epps said. “But I chewed on the girls a little bit and challenged them. After that, we played some good man-to-man defense and we had nice spurts on offense.” West gets its fourth shot at No. 2 Carson in a semifinal on Thursday at 6 p.m. at Carson. Carson has beaten the Falcons 73-58, 51-43 and 50-42. WEST IREDELL (41) — Ellis 21, Sigmon 10, Ijames 4, Marshall 3, Gaines 2, Gatton 1, Lucas, Bolick, Moose, Scott, Riddle.

East wins do-or-die contest BY DAVID SHAW dshaw@salisburypost.com
GRANITE QUARRY — As masterpieces go, it E. Rowan 54 looked more like S. Rowan 42 fridge art. But that hardly mattered to the East Rowan girls basketball team Monday night. The Mustangs kicked off the NPC Tournament with a 54-42 win over visiting South Rowan and secured a berth in next week’s 3A state playoffs. “Hey, a win’s a win,” first-year coach Danielle Porter said after fourth-seeded East (8-13) turned the ball over 31 times and lived to fight another day. “We handled the pressure, we worked through adversity
and we kept playing with enthusiasm.” The Mustangs were shorthanded — two players sidelined with injuries and other, sophomore guard Jessica Rummage, was home with pneumonia. In spite of that, they jumped to a 10-1 lead before the game was five-minutes old. “We couldn’t hit a basket,” losing coach Jarrod Smith lamented after South (8-14) checked out. “We had layups. We had open looks. We had chances in the paint. We just couldn’t knock anything down.” Not until Lauren Miller’s driving layup with 31 seconds remaining in the first quarter did the Raiders convert a field goal attempt. “We were frustrated,” senior Nicole Barringer said after scoring a game-

high 17 points. “We couldn’t get anything to go in. It happened the first time we played here and again tonight, like deja vu all over again.” Barringer gave South a pulse late in the first half when she buried a 3pointer to pull the guests within 1812. But East responded with a backbreaking 7-0 run to close the first
half. “We came out, played hard and kept our composure,” said ER’s Sydney Poole (11 points). “It was just taking it to the basket, getting our fouls and making free throws.” Inside players Karleigh Wike and Olivia Sabo made key contributions for East before fouling out in the fourth quarter. Wike had nine points and 10 rebounds while Sabo totaled eight points, nine rebounds and three blocked shots. ER sank 30 of 50 free throws, including 18 of 28 in the drawn-out fourth quarter. “Doesn’t matter,” Sabo said. “We were the better team tonight.” South said goodbye to three seniors — Barringer, Sam Goins and reserve Krista Swartz. “I don’t know if I’ve ever teared up after a
season-ending loss,” Smith said. “But I just did. Those are three terrific players we’re losing.” East’s reward is a semifinal match with North Iredell, the state’s top-ranked team, Wednesday night at Carson. Then comes a likely road game in its state playoff opener. “I’m just excited to be going,” said Wike, a freshman enjoying her first varsity season. “We’re peaking right now and everything is looking up.” SOUTH ROWAN (42) — Barringer 17, Goins 8, Miller 5, Gaddy 5, K.Corriher 3, Jones 2, L.Corriher 2, Swartz, Allison.

CARSON BOYS FROM 1B team’s hounding of Houston, who hit four 3’s and sits 17 points shy of 1,000 for his career. “I put my best defender on him and I thought Ty Johnson did a pretty good job,” Davenport said. “Last game, he really hurt us so we tried to contain him.” The Cougars shook off their firsthalf woes coming out of the locker room and scored on their first three possessions of the second half to cut it to 2416 and force a 30-second timeout from North. Tre Williams converted a 3-point play later to pull Carson within 26-21, but it would draw no closer. Johnson, a Bluefield signee who played in front of a Bluefield scout at the game, scored 12 points while Michael McNeely led the Raiders with 15. NORTH IREDELL (52) — McNeely 15, Johnson 12, Hunt 9, St. John 7, Holland 4, Laws 3, Brown 2, Nolen, Moore, Phares. CARSON (41) — Houston 16, Williams 9, Heggins 4, Love 2, Wagner 2, Gilbert, Parker, Laws, Raper, Eagle. tyler buckwell/SALISBURY POST tyler buckwell/SALISBURY POST

on their shoulder,” East coach Trey Ledbetter said. “They were fast. They had something to prove. That had to be the best game they’ve played.” Gurley didn’t disagree. West sacrificed four games early, playing without the football players, and was still 5-9 in January. Now the Falcons are 12-10 and the program will have its 25th winning season in the last 26. “Yeah, it’s nice to have B.J. Sherrill and (Sherrill’s cousin and a Georgia Tech-bound defensive back) Domonique Noble out there,” Gurley said. “They’re talented athletes, but much more than that, they’re vocal leaders. They really had our defense communicating tonight.” While the 1-2-2 zone helped West win some NPC games, Gurley may have placed it in storage. West played havocwreaking man-to-man Monday, got lots of steals and lots of easy transition points. “If you’re going to win in the playoffs, you have to be able to be able to play manto-man,” Gurley. “You have to make big stops.” West stopped everyone except East guard Hakeem Gittens, who scored 14. He had a career-high 18 against the Falcons earlier this season. “Against us, Gittens plays like Hakeem Olajuwon,” said Gurley, referencing a former NBA All-Pro who stood a foot or so taller than Gittens. Morgan and Devin Parks scored 10 each for West, and Connor Edwards hit two 3s. East (1-20) might’ve lost by 50, but it got late buckets from Josh Gobble, Ryan Driver and Anthony Oglesby. “Our effort was there, but we never put 32 minutes together except for that one game we won,” Driver said. “Other nights, we had 26 minutes or 28 or even eight.” EAST ROWAN (37) — Gittens 14, Oglesby 6, Honeycutt 4, Hough 4, Gobble 3, Driver 3, Shepherd 2, A.

Statesville managed just two field goals in the second quarter. Blackwell hit the first two shots of the second half as the Cougar lead hit 33-12. They led 36-15 at the end the of the third. “We certainly didn’t want to overlook this game,” Misenheimer said. “We talked about taking it one game at a time because you got to make it to the first round to get to the second round.” Cameron Bradley was the lone double figure scorer for Statesville with 12.

SPORTS DIGEST
Different look for Braves
EARNHARDT FROM 1B significant safety improvements: • Adopting the HANS device, a head and neck restraint collar that was being used in other forms of auto racing but went largely ignored in NASCAR until Earnhardt’s death. Waltrip remembers Brett Bodine bringing a HANS to the track before Earnhardt’s wreck. “I looked at him and said, ‘You can’t race with that thing around your head. How are you going to see?’” Waltrip said. “He said, ‘Doesn’t bother me at all. It’s comfortable; I like it.’ I was like, ‘Well, you can’t wear that.’ That just shows you how different things were.” Head and neck restraints now are required in NASCAR and may be responsible for preventing several deaths or serious injuries. Would a HANS have saved Earnhardt, and a handful of other drivers who died of similar injuries before him? “I believe that when Dale Earnhardt Sr.’s car hit the wall and the belts from his safety harness were loaded by the impact that a HANS Device would have kept his head back,” said Jim Downing, co-founder of HANS Performance Products. “That likely would have produced a better outcome under the different scenarios that have been proposed by experts. This is what it seems like to me, but we don’t really know for sure.” • SAFER barriers, impactabsorbing walls that were being developed before Earnhardt’s death. Increased interest and investment from NASCAR accelerated their implementation, and today the so-called “soft” walls line tracks from coast to coast. “If you made me pick one (safety improvement), I would pick SAFER barriers,” Wal-
NHL GLENDALE, Ariz. — Ray Whitney had a goal and an assist, and the Phoenix Coyotes frustrated Washington's top line with a flurry of blocked shots in a 3-2 win over the Capitals Monday night. Blues 3, Canucks 2 ST. LOUIS — Andy McDonald and Patrik Berglund scored powerplay goals.
NFL MANHATTAN, Kan. — The pride of Leonardville has come home to Kansas for the first time since his team won the Super Bowl. The Riley County Commission declared Monday "Jordy Nelson Day" and presented a proclamation to the Green Bay Packers wide receiver. Nelson's wife, Emily, and their baby boy, Royal, were on hand for the event. • ALAMEDA, Calif. — The Oakland Raiders added a Hall of Famer to their coaching staff, hiring Rod Woodson on Monday as an assistant to coach the team's cornerbacks. • OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh signed a three-year extension Monday that will keep him under contract through 2014.
NASCAR DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR is become more kid-friendly this year by allowing children into the garage on race days. The revision to the garage access policy will permit adults with approved credentials to bring their children into garages during the pre-race period on race days. Each child will be issued a special credential. There is no minimum age requirement.
trip said. “That’d be my saving grace.” • Better seats and improved cockpits. Looking back, drivers can’t believe how unsafe their seats were before Earnhardt’s death. “It didn’t have to be the way it was,” Mark Martin said. “The seats that we drove in were ridiculous. Ridiculous.” And Earnhardt’s might have been one of the worst. “(Today’s seats) compared to his seat? Night and day,” Robby Gordon said. “I don’t know how to explain it any other way than that. But that’s what he chose to drive in, and that’s what made him comfortable in all those races prior to that. Us race car drivers, we become invincible — this is what I’ve done forever, and it hasn’t hurt me.” Since then, teams have switched to carbon-fiber seats similar to those used in openwheel racing and installed braces to prevent drivers’ heads from violently snapping from side to side during a hard hit. “(Earnhardt’s) seat, and the way he sat in the car, and maybe even somewhat the way he wore his belts was more relaxed than we have today,” Waltrip said. “And what we learned over the years we needed to do to withstand the impacts we were facing, we just didn’t know. We thought (we knew). We just didn’t know.” Then came NASCAR’s new chassis design, formerly referred to as the “Car of Tomorrow” — another big step forward in safety, designed to shield drivers from impacts. Burton credits NASCAR’s leaders for being willing to change. “When they said they were going to do it different, boy, they went and did it different,” Burton said. “They didn’t (halfway) do it different, they went full-force at it. I never believed that was going to happen.”

BOBCATS FROM 1B “Everything we do is obviously going to be compared to what we’ve done the last two seasons,” guard Derek Fisher said. “But this is an entirely different team. Half of our roster is new, so there are still things we’re learning about ourselves.” So are the Bobcats, who completed a bizarre eightday stretch in which they also beat Eastern Conference heavyweights Boston and Atlanta and lost to unheralded Indiana and New Jersey as they try to secure the final playoff spot in the East. But the Bobcats always seem to beat the Lakers. “I think even though they’re bigger than us, we’re quicker and more athletic than them,” Wallace said. “We get up and run up and
down the floor. We’re able to control their bigs and control Kobe for the most parts of the game. I think that’s what helps us out a lot in this matchup.” This one wasn’t even close — and got ugly in the fourth quarter. Jackson had used all but one of his full timeouts before Wallace’s 3-pointer at the third-quarter buzzer put Charlotte ahead 78-60. Bryant then picked up two quick fouls, giving him five and helping the Bobcats reach the penalty with 10:51 left. It appeared Jackson tried to teach his starters a lesson, keeping them in the game until midway through the period as Charlotte’s lead ballooned with reserves Henderson and Nazr Mohammed (16 points) leading the charge. “Pretty upset about what happened out there,” said Pau Gasol, who had 17 points

COLUMBIA, S.C. — An attorney for Weslye Saunders says the NFL has declared the former South Carolina tight end eligible for the upcoming draft. James "Butch" Williams says Saunders learned of the league's decision Monday and will attend the NFL's combine for draft-eligible players in Indianapolis this weekend.
The NBA roundup ... NEWARK, N.J. — The annual rodeo road trip is turning into a laugher for the San Antonio Spurs, and leaving no doubt who's the NBA's best team heading into the All-Star break. Manu Ginobili scored 10 of his 22 points in a gamebreaking, second-half run and the Spurs put in another dominant performance with a 102-85 victory over the New Jersey Nets on Monday night. The victory in the penultimate game of the ninegame road trip (6-2) was the second straight rout for the Spurs and gave them nine wins in 11 games and 17 in 20. Blazers 95, Timberwolves 81 MINNEAPOLIS — Making his first All-Star team has put a big ol' target on Kevin Love's back. A motivated LaMarcus Aldridge and the Portland Trail Blazers were hitting it hard all night long. Aldridge had 21 points,
six boards and five assists and the Blazers stifled Love on both ends of the court in a 95-81 victory. Rockets 121, Nuggets 102 HOUSTON — The Houston Rockets misfired early, and seemed on the verge of getting routed by Carmelo Anthony and Denver. When Courtney Lee and the rest of the Rockets' reserves sparked the rally, the Nuggets had no answer. Lee scored 22 points and Aaron Brooks added 18 off the bench and Houston shook off the sluggish start to shoot well from 3-point range in a 121-102 win. Bucks 102, Clippers 78 MILWAUKEE — Carlos Delfino scored 21 of his 26 points in the second half and made a career-high seven 3-pointers to lead the Bucks to a 102-78 victory. Hawks 94, Pistons 79 AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Detroit hit its first six 3pointers while building a 15-point second-quarter lead, but the Hawks were back in front by halftime and went on to win 94-79.

The first day of spring training will seem a little strange for the Atlanta Braves. Bobby Cox won't be there ahead of everyone else, eager to get started on a new season. "We're used to seeing him there at 7:30 in the morning with his spikes on," pitcher Tim Hudson said. "I know we're all going to miss that. But we'll see him around a lot. He's a baseball man, and he's an Atlanta Brave through and through. He'll always be a part of this club." He's just not the manager anymore. When pitchers and catchers take the field Tuesday in Kissimmee, Fla., it will be the first time since 1990 that someone other than Cox is running things. He retired after last season and quickly handed off the job to his former third-base coach, Fredi Gonzalez, who knows he's got some big spikes to fill. "There's going to be some hurdles. There's going to be some stuff that you go through," the new manager said. "That's all part of it. But I feel comfortable that this organization has always put winners on the field. I feel comfortable that's going to continue." Indeed, the transition from Cox to Gonzalez was about as smooth as one of these moves can be. Cox announced he was retiring more than a year ahead of time, giving everyone plenty of time to get used to the idea. Gonzalez was fired as Florida's manager last June, freeing him up to take over the Atlanta job.
Saunders was at the center of an NCAA inquiry at South Carolina for potential contact with agents and for several football players staying at a local hotel at discounted rates. Saunders was suspended in late August and permanently dismissed a few weeks later without playing a game.

Such complaints will be referred to the North Carolina Human Relations Council for investigation, conciliation and resolution.

Uncommon form of shingles needs time Dear Dr. Gott: I’ve been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome. I’ve been treated with prednisone and antiviral drugs. I ask every doctor I’ve seen, “What can I do to be proactive?” The answer is always, “Nothing, only time.” I understand that, but what can I do to hasten healing? Massage, physical therDR. PETER apy, acupuncture, anyGOTT thing? Each doctor says I can do whatever I want but nothing is going to help. Isn’t there anything I can do? Dear Reader: Ramsay Hunt syndrome occurs when the facial nerve to one of the ears becomes infected by the shingles/chickenpox virus. The primary symptoms are a painful red rash with blisters in, on and around one ear associated with facial weakness or paralysis on the same side. For some, the rash or the weakness may occur before the other, and rarely for some, a rash will never present. Other symptoms may include hearing loss, change in or loss of taste, tinnitus, vertigo, ear pain and difficulty closing one eye. Complications can include eye damage owing to improper eye closure because of facial paralysis or weakness; permanent hearing loss and facial weakness; and postherpetic neuralgia (pain caused by damaged nerves). Treatment includes antiviral drugs, steroids and pain re-
lievers. If vertigo is a problem, anti-anxiety drugs may be beneficial. Home remedies include over-the-counter pain relievers and cool, wet compresses. If closing the eye is difficult, try using moisturizing eyedrops and taping the eyelid shut at night to prevent drying and damage. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any effective alternative treatments that will speed healing. The virus has to run its course. Even with antiviral medication, some damage will be done, and only time will tell whether it’s permanent. I suggest you try whatever alternatives you like, and keep a journal of the symptoms before treatment, what type of treatment you had and how your symptoms were affected, if at all, after treatment. If you have positive results from something, stick to it. Let me know of your results, and I will print a future article to inform my readers. To provide related information, I am sending you copies of my Health Reports “Dr. Gott’s Compelling Home Remedies” and “More Compelling Home Remedies.” Other readers who would like copies should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order for each report to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. Be sure to mention the title(s) or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com. Dear Dr. Gott: You recently wrote an article about why petroleum-based products
aren’t supposed to be used in the nose. My doctor told me to use Vaseline to keep my nostrils moist to prevent nosebleeds because I live in a dry climate and am prone. What am I supposed to do? Dear Reader: Since printing that article, I have received several requests for reprints and/or clarification, so here goes. If used in the nostrils over a long period of time, petroleum-based products can cause a type of pneumonia or pneumonitis. As the product warms, it becomes more liquid and particles can drip down the throat and be inhaled into the lungs. These particles can accumulate over time. For some, it carries no symptoms; for others, it may cause a mild fever,
weight loss and lung “crackles.” Symptoms may worsen the longer the product is used. Treatment is to avoid the product and allow the body to slowly remove the substances. There have been some anecdotal reports of long-term corticosteroid use being beneficial, but nothing is concrete. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

Judge tosses Beckham libel suit against magazine LOS ANGELES (AP) — A federal judge on Monday dismissed David Beckham’s libel and slander lawsuit against In Touch magazine over a story that claimed he cheated on his wife with a prostitute. Beckham’s attorney, Richard B. Kendall, vowed to appeal the ruling and disprove the celebrity tabloid’s claims about the international soccer star, who is married to a former Spice Girl. U.S. District Judge Manuel Real said in his ruling that Beckham is a public figure and his attorneys hadn’t shown any evidence In Touch published the sto-
ry with malice. He also said that allegations of any infidelity by Beckham would be of interest to the public. Elizabeth McNamara, who represented In Touch’s owner Bauer Publishing Co., said the magazine did everything possible to corroborate details from the prostitute’s on-therecord interview. She told Real that the woman’s account was “entirely consistent with Mr. Beckham’s reputation as a serial philanderer.” The magazine has not retracted the story. Beckham’s camp continued to deny and attack In Touch’s story, and said they had already won a judgment over the report.

A pass may inform as much as a bid BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
Franklin Pierce Adams, a columnist and wit best known for his newspaper column, “The Conning Tower,” and his appearances as a panelist on radio’s “Information Please,” said, “I find that a great part of the information I have was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the way.” In bridge, we often learn something that leads to another conclusion — as in this deal. South was in two spades. West led the heart ace and followed with a second heart. East took that trick with his king, cashed the ace-king of clubs, and played a third club to dummy’s queen. How did declarer continue? After East’s opening bid of one heart was passed around to North, he made a takeout double, promising short hearts and length in the other three suits. East rebid two hearts to show his sixth heart and extra values. South was happy to compete with a twospade bid. West was tempted to bid three hearts, but he let the prevailing vulnerability dissuade him. (The curious may like to work out how North-South
can defeat three hearts. It is easy after a club lead, but harder otherwise.) As West had shown up with four points (the heart ace), but passed his partner’s opening bid, East was marked with the diamond queen. South drew two rounds of trumps, cashed dummy’s diamond ace, and played a low diamond toward his hand. When the queen popped up, declarer conceded just five tricks: one spade, two hearts and two clubs. Sometimes a pass can be more informative than a bid.

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER The West will remain wet and snowy, while quiet weather returns to the East Coast on Tuesday. A low pressure system that developed in the Gulf of Alaska has moved onshore and continues pushing a cold front down the West Coast on Tuesday. Heaviest rain produced by this system will shift from British Colombia and Washington, to Oregon and California. This will produce periods of heavy snowfall across the northern Sierras as well. Tuesday night into Wednesday, expect 1 to 2 feet of snow possible across the Sierras, with 2 to 4 feet likely above 7,000 feet. Snow levels across the Cascades will remain at 2,000 feet, even down to 1,000 feet in some areas. Lower level rainfall totals across Oregon and California will range around 1 inch. In the East, expect mild weather as a large ridge of high pressure stretches from the Plains, over the Mississippi River Valley, and to the East Coast. This system allows for clearing skies over the Northeast, as it helps to push the low pressure system and associated cold front eastward into the Atlantic Ocean. Expect a warming trend to persist as this ridge builds in and sunny skies return. The Central and Northern Plains will see highs in the 60s, again, while the Southern Plains will reach into the 70s.
