City ends inquiry of firefighters

PATRIOT GUARD RIDERS Motorcyclists travel for burial in Salisbury he motorcycles rolled up Interstate 85 Friday afternoon with their headlamps burning, emergency flashers blinking and hands raised to any people on the overpasses who had stopped to watch their long procession. The 220 Patriot Guard Riders — representing sevMARK en different WINEKA states — rode in honor of a fallen brother, Lyle A. Davenport, a U.S. Navy veteran and fellow PGR. They traveled from Davenport’s funeral at Holy Covenant United Church of Christ in Charlotte to the resting place for his ashes at the Salisbury National Cemetery Annex. At the cemetery, 60 to 65 other bikers — some PGR members — joined those from the procession. The scene on a gorgeous February day was awash in the red, white and blue from more than a hundred U.S. flags. The large number of Patriot Guard Riders was unusual but understandable. Davenport, 56, was seriously injured last Saturday when his motorcycle was clipped by a sports utility vehicle on Independence Boulevard. He had just participated at the funeral of a 71-year-old veteran as part of a Patriot Guard Rider delegation. Davenport died early Monday morning after his family decided to take him off life support. “Even in death, he was giving to others,” said friend and fellow PGR member Keith “Bypass Biker” Arbuckle, who organized Friday’s procession with help from Bill Cook and Ed Benson, among others. Davenport had donated organs to three people. “It really hurt me to watch him in the hospital,” said Arbuckle, assistant state captain of the Patriot Guard Riders of North Carolina. He received hundreds of e-mails, telephone calls and messages, and social network funeral home pages were filled with

No official word given on what misconduct cost three their jobs

Members of the Patriot Guard Riders travel up Interstate 85 for the burial of Lyle A. Davenport on friday afternoon at the salisbury National Cemetery Annex. More than 200 members of the Patriot Guard Riders traveled by motorcycle and other members met at the cemetery to show Davenport ‘due honor and respect.’

The N.C. Association of County Commissioners says the budget proposal unveiled by Gov. Bev Perdue on Thursday could cost Rowan County more than $3.6 million a year for each of the next two years. And County Manager Gary Page, in an email to Rowan County commissioners, said that could be devastating to PAGE Rowan. “If this proposal is approved by the Legislature, at even half this impact, it wipes out what department cuts I’ve already proposed for

Grandmother of boy who was missing for days charged pages of condolences for Davenport’s family “I called him a gentle giant,” Arbuckle said. “He was large in stature ... but he would give you the shirt off

his back.” At the cemetery, the riders group presented the family a plaque and signed Navy and Patriot Guard Rider flags. The Sons of Soldiers of Mount

Holly also provided a flag box. “We just showed him due honor and respect,” Arbuckle

Perdue cuts would hammer county budgets Staff and wire reports

City officials said Friday they have concluded an investigation of misconduct at the Salisbury Fire Department that resulted in the firing of three employees and suspension of another. While city officials still refuse to disclose the specific acts that cost the employees their jobs, City Manager David Treme said Friday the investigation began in mid-December after Fire Department officials brought “rumors” to the attention of City Hall. And those rumors, Treme confirmed, were “close” to the same allegations contained in an anonymous letter sent to city officials and the Salisbury Post — that the misconduct was sexual in nature and involved several Fire Department employees. “It had some of the same things, that there was misconduct among employees, and it talked about some things,” Treme said of the letter in an interview with the DAVID TREME Post. But of the rumors, he said, “I can’t tell you it mirrored that letter exactly.” Battalion Chief Chris Lyerly, Capt. Baxter “Buddy” Miller and firefighter Courtney Brown were all dismissed from the department during the investigation. Firefighter Castleman “Chet” Hedrick was suspended without pay in January, but is back on active duty. “All administrative remedies have been exhausted and all terminations and suspensions have been finalized,” Zack Kyle, the city’s human resources director, said in the prepared statement. The city has never revealed the nature of the investigation or specific allegations against the fire department employees. Officials sought in Friday’s statement to maintain confidence in the fire department. “We are sincerely saddened and disappointed that we have had to deal with personnel is-

next year’s budget,” Page wrote. At a planning retreat earlier this week, Page said the county faces a $3 million budget gap in the fiscal year starting July 1. To make up the shortfall, he recommended cutting $2 million from county departments and $1 million from the county’s allocation to the Rowan-Salisbury School System. That was before Perdue released her state budget proposal. To close an expected $2.4 billion state funding hole next fiscal year, it would, among other things, shift $57 million in school bus replacement costs to counties and take away $72 million in corporate income tax revenue slated to pay for school construction. And the state would retain most of the lottery money that’s Today’s forecast 63º/36º Partly cloudy

supposed to go to counties for school capital needs. In all, local government leaders say, Perdue’s budget would reduce the state’s public education funding burden by $350 million by shifting more responsibility to the districts and the counties. Page called the proposals “just another round of unfunded mandates at the local officials’ expense.” Republican leaders who control both chambers of the N.C. General Assembly have criticized Perdue’s proposed spending plan as increasing taxes on North Carolinians because it keeps intact through mid-2013 three-quarters of a penny of the one-cent sales tax set to expire June 30. David F. Thompson, execu-

tive director of the Association of County Commissioners, said in a press release his organization will be fighting the governor’s spending plan. “Counties have been assured by lawmakers that the state will not attempt to balance its budget by pushing down unfunded mandates and additional responsibilities to counties or by taking county revenues,” he said. “The current budget proposal does both, and we will be working with the House and Senate to address our concerns.” Page urged local elected officials to do the same. “We need to impress upon our legislative delegation how irresponsible this budget proposal is for NC counties and citizens,” Page wrote in his e-mail to commissioners.

The maternal grandmother of an 11-year-old who went missing for days last month has been charged with resisting, obstructing or delaying a police officer and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, Salisbury Police reported Friday. Police cited Calarmel McKenzie, 56, of 303 Southern St., East Spencer, on Feb. 11 for charges stemming from Timothy Greene’s Jan. 14 disappearance. She was not taken to the magistrate’s office or jail because of her health, police said. Timothy was found Jan. 18, hiding in a locked back hallway MCKENZIE of McKenzie’s East Spencer home. His mohawk had been cut, and he was crying, not wanting to go back home, police said. Police had been by the grandmother’s home several times asking about Timothy’s whereabouts, but McKenzie denied he was there and told detectives she hadn’t seen him in more than a year. The search for Timothy stretched into other counties, and police worked extra hours on the case in hopes of finding him. Surveillance video footage from a Kangaroo convenience store was thought to be that of Timothy and several other boys, but it wasn’t. His adoptive parents, James

WILKESBORO (AP) — An early morning collision with a deer killed a Wilkes County man after he lost control of his car and struck an embankment on N.C. Highway 115 south of Wilkesboro. Highway Patrol officials say 21-year-old Andrew Martin Taylor of the Hays community hit the animal shortly after 2 a.m. Thursday. Taylor’s car then veered across the center line, crashed into an embankment and overturned. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports 1.5 million deer-vehicle collisions each year causing approximately 10,000 injuries and 150 deaths. Officials say a single deer sighted means others are likely nearby.

3,000 pounds of pot found in Charlotte home CHARLOTTE (AP) — Federal authorities say an investigation has uncovered more than 3,000 pounds of marijuana at a Charlotte home. Five people have been charged with conspiracy to distribute marijuana. Prosecutors say more than $2 million was seized at one Charlotte home while marijuana was found stashed at another. The defendants each face a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $4 million fine if convicted on the conspiracy count. Some of the suspects also have been charged with possession of guns. Authorities say three of the people charged are Mexican citizens in the United States illegally.

HENDERSONVILLE (AP) — Henderson County YMCA fixture Boyd Campbell swam competitively until age 100. A broken hip sidelined him, but the dedicated swimmer, who turned 101 on Jan. 19, is determined to get back in the water. “I started swimming in a dirty old river (in Waynesboro, Va.) at about 9 years old,” Campbell said. Afterward, he swam with his six kids or his grandkids, but it was a chance encounter at the YMCA in Hendersonville, at the age of 80, that led him to competitive swimming when members of the relay team for the Senior Games were looking for a fourth person to join in. Dick Webber, a member of the team, saw Campbell in the water. “They asked me to fill in,” Campbell said. “Dick Webber said, ‘What can you do?’ and I said, ‘I don’t know!’ “They took me because there was no one else,” Campbell said, laughing. “Dick said once, ‘We have Boyd. We’ll be in a good age bracket’ ” for the Senior Games swim competition, said Karen Budro, aquatic director for the YMCA. The Senior Games allows competitors to compete in different age brackets, usually separated by five-year spans. Collectively, they had 365 years between them, said Roz

Veto battle not likely on health challenge CHARLOTTE (AP) — Republican-backed legislation pushing North Carolina to join other states fighting the federal health care overhaul law isn’t worth a veto battle, Gov. Bev Perdue said Friday. “This kind of legislation is essentially unnecessary from my perspective,” she said during an interview with The Charlotte Observer. “It’s not worth a battle.” The bill is a Republican priority now awaiting final action in the GOP-led state House. The measure would become law 10 days after the Democratic governor receives it even without her signature. The legislation aims to block a provision in last year’s federal health overhaul law requiring most people buy health insurance or face a penalty. The measure also directs Attorney General Roy Cooper, a Democrat, to defend the challenge in court. “This bill is a distraction and political showpiece that is not worth the fight when there is already a federal lawsuit over it that is winding through the courts,” said Perdue spokesman Mark Johnson.

Boyd Campbell has been sidelined by a broken hip, but he’s already planning to return to the pool in Hendersonville when he heals. The YMCA gave him a lifetime membership when he turned 100 last year.

DURHAM (AP) — A convicted killer who had sought to use the Racial Justice Act to avoid capital punishment has been taken off death row, but not because of the contentious law. Lawyers for Isaac Jackson Stroud successfully argued in Durham County Superior Court that he is mentally ill and incapable of fully participating in his own defense, which would disqualify him under state law from being subject to the death penalty. Judge Orlando Hudson commuted Stroud’s death sentence Friday, replacing it with a life sentence for the 1993 murder of Jocelyn Mitchell. In addition, Hudson added 30 years to the life sentence based on Stroud’s kidnapping conviction from the same case, according to Stroud’s lawyer, Marilyn Ozer. The decision averts a case premised on the 2009 Racial Justice Act, which allows convicts to use statistical evidence to argue that bias played a role in their sentencing. A hearing on Stroud’s appeal under the statute was scheduled for March, but now that his death sentence has been commuted, there’s no need to go forward with it, Ozer said. A call to Durham County prosecutors was not immediately returned Friday, but the district attorney’s office didn’t object to the filing by Stroud’s attorneys, which puts him behind bars for life. Stroud was convicted in 1995 for killing Mitchell in a May 1 beating. Mitchell was an art teacher and track coach at Durham High School. Mitchell, 35, had large bruises over 80 percent of her body and five broken ribs that punctured her lung and caused a slow death. At his trial, Stroud said the beating wasn’t intentional. Last year, Stroud joined most of North Carolina’s 157 other death row inmates in filing appeals under the Racial Justice Act. Many of the inmates question the racial makeup of juries that handled their cases. Prosecutors around the state have criticized the new law, which they argue is vague and allows questionable death row challenges from, for example, white inmates convicted of killing white victims. Earlier this month, a Forsyth County judge upheld the law against a challenge from prosecutors who claimed it is unconstitutionally vague.

Shoppers encouraged to spend a little extra, locally BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

What would happen if everyone in Rowan County spent $20 in a local store or restaurant on Feb. 20? The result would be almost $3 million not spent in another county or state, according to the Rowan County Chamber of Commerce. A nice shot in the local economy, Chamber President Bob Wright said. The chamber, Rowan County gov-

ernment, Salisbury Post and city of Salisbury for the third year have joined forces to sponsor the $20 on the 20th promotion, which encourages residents to spend $20 in Rowan County they wouldn’t normally spend. This year, Feb. 20 falls on a Sunday. That could encourage consumers who work during the week to participate, Wright said. “Many people will have the entire afternoon and evening free,” he

said. “It has the potential of being really successful.” Many businesses are offering specials for customers who turn out on Sunday, as advertised with special discount rates in the Salisbury Post. “Our members think it’s a great promotion,” Wright said. “It’s keeping that money in Rowan County.” Contact reporter Emily Ford at 704-797-4264.

College heads oppose federal student loans RALEIGH (AP) — Some community college presidents in North Carolina are banding together against a new law that could make lowinterest federal loans an option to nearly 200,000 students, fearing they could lose all financial aid if too many students don’t repay. Some community college officials want to reverse the law that beginning in July would force all 58 campuses to participate in the loan program. Thirty-eight schools don’t participate now, including campuses in major cities such as Durham, WinstonSalem and Charlotte. The law passed last year determined the third-largest community college system in

the country should make every financial aid option available as the Great Recession sent students — many of them unable to find work in their chosen fields — cramming into classrooms to revamp or hone skills. But some legislators want to allow each campus to continue deciding for itself. Critics say withdrawing the requirement would deny students the ability to choose for themselves whether a loan would carry them to an associate’s degree or a better job. The House education committee is scheduled to begin debating the question Tuesday. Tuition at North Carolina

community colleges has risen by a third in the past two years to $1,808. But adding fees, books and living expenses pushes the average cost to $15,084 this year, according to the North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority. More than 116,000 students enrolled in associate degree, diploma and certificate programs received financial aid in the 2008-09 academic year. That figure — about half of all degree students — was down 9 percent from five years earlier. The average financial aid package nearly doubled in that period to $3,290. About 25,000 community college students have taken

federal loans — about a tenth of all student borrowers in the state. Some students also turn to bank loans and credit cards to pay their expenses, though both charge significantly higher interest rates. College presidents pushing for repeal fear students won’t be able to pay off the loans if they drop out or don’t land good jobs. That could lead to loss of all federal financial aid money, though federal officials could not give an example of the last time that happened. School presidents also say students shouldn’t have access to the loans because they don’t need the money.

The phones are refurbished and go to battered women’s shelters. SILARDI The phone does not have to work. Officers will also participate in the Law Enforcement Torch Run that will take place in May. Area law enforcement typically participate in the event that kicks off the games. Last year, through special events the North Carolina Special Olympics raised more than $1 million. North Carolina held its first Games in 1970 in Burlington with 400 athletes competing. Today, the organization serves more than 38,000 athletes. All donations are tax deductible. Anyone interested in sponsoring or participating should contact Sgt. Don Silardi at 704857-2129.

LANDIS — Police Sgt. Don Silardi is organizing a series of fundraisers to benefit the Special Olympics. Last year was his first year coordinating events in Landis, but prior to that he worked for 10 years raising funds for the organization, which provides funds to North Carolina athletes. “The money is so athletes don’t have to pay for meals, uniforms and housing,” Silardi said. The Landis Police Department is hosting its second Annual Golf Tournament to benefit Special Olympics on May 9 at the Club at Irish Creek. The event will be a four-man Captain’s Choice tournament. Silardi said even if people can’t participate as golfers, any amount of money would help toward their $20,000 goal or merchandise that could be used in the silent auction. “I feel like it’s attainable. Every little bit helps. Even if it’s a dollar here or there,” he said. Silardi is also looking for sponsors.

Bill would expand access to public records in state A proposed “Sunshine Amendment” would add protections to the state constitution for rights to access public records and meetings. Bills to create the amendment have been introduced in both houses of the North Carolina General Assembly. Both of them have passed on first reading and been referred to committee. N.C. Sen. Andrew Brock is listed as a co-sponsor on the Senate version of the amendment, which would give every person in the state the right to inspect or copy any public record. The amendment also would require to be open and advertised all government meetings where official acts will be taken or public business is discussed. State statutes already provide for access to such records and meetings, but an amendment would be harder

to change. Exemptions could be made and approved by a twothirds majority vote “provided that such law shall state with specificity the public necessity justifying the exemption and shall be no broader than necessary to accomplish the stated purpose of the law.” Current exemptions under state public records laws would continue to apply unless repealed. N.C. Rep. Fred Steen is the primary sponsor on a bill concerning management and protection of railroad corridors. In addition, Steen is sponsoring a bill to allow people with concealed handgun permits to keep their guns with them in restaurants and parks. N.C. Rep. Harry Warren has signed on as a co-sponsor. Warren also is co-sponsoring a bill to repeal the state land transfer tax.

Actor tells Livingstone students to live up to their potential Livingstone College News Service

The running joke on FOX’s hit TV show “Martin,” which aired for five seasons in the 1990s and was among the network’s highest rated programs, was that one of its main characters, Tommy, didn’t have a job. But on Wednesday morning, the actor who played Tommy told Livingstone College students, faculty and staff that he has a job and an occupation. “They always said Tommy didn’t have a job,” said Thomas Mikal Ford. “I got news for you. I have a job, y’all. But there’s a difference between my job and my occupation. My occupation is what I do for a check. My job is what I was born to do.”

Ford, 46, a native of Los Angeles, said there’s only one reason all Livingstone College students aren’t on the honor roll: They’re not doing their jobs. “Isn’t it interesting how we know everybody else’s job but our own,” Ford asked as many in the audience nodded in agreement. “Some of you students tell professors what they’re supposed to do, you tell your parents what they’re supposed to do and you even tell the police what they’re supposed to do. Folk are not doing their jobs. Students, you are awesome. You are beautiful. You are amazing. You were born to win. A loser is somebody who quits doing what is necessary to receive an A.” Earning an A requires work, Ford said. Students who don’t earn As likely didn’t study long enough, work hard

enough or ask for extra credit, he said. Ford’s speech was peppered with applause, particularly when he encouraged the students to strive for excellence and when he refer- FORD enced God. It was also marked with laughter, especially when he referred to “Martin,” the hit sitcom starring actor/comedian Martin Lawrence.

Harsh words But the most poignant part of Ford’s remarks came when he told about a time when, at age 7, his grandmother sent him to the store

with 50 cents – 35 cents for a loaf of bread and 15 cents for candy for himself. He talked about excitedly walking to the store singing a “candy song” before being summoned by a woman just as he neared the store. After asking his name, the woman told Ford she knew his father and began denigrating him. “Your daddy ain’t crap,” Ford quoted the woman as saying. “Your daddy’s a low-down dirty dog and you gonna be just like him.” Ford said the woman continued until telling him he should do his mother and grandmother a favor and kill himself. Upset, Ford rushed home, forgetting about the bread and candy. After getting him to go to the bathroom, wash his face and calm down, Ford said his grandmother

spoke life-changing words to him. “Your dad has done some horrible things,” Ford quoted his grandmother as saying. “He abused drugs, he is an alcoholic, he abused your mother and he abandoned y’all. But today you can either choose to make that lady right, or you can prove her wrong.” Then Ford announced he has never drank, smoked or done drugs, drawing heavy applause. “I’ve never seen that lady again, but I’m sure she has seen me,” Ford said. “And I have a feeling I’m not the only person in this room who’s been told he or she is worthless. I got news for you. I made my first million at age 27. I’m a graduate of the University of Southern California. I’ve never been to prison. I’ve

Nodding off in court leads to jail for woman A Salisbury woman was pulled out of a Rowan County courtroom Thursday because she couldn’t stay awake was charged with drug possession, while in court, the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office reported Friday. According to the report, Shannon Walton Stirewalt, 43, was jailed after she was found to be in contempt of court. Detention officers found a glass pipe in a toilet as they searched Stirewalt, the report said, and found out Stirewalt had kept the pipe in a body cavity Thursday morning while in court.

Deputies also found two cuts in Stirewalt’s bra, and a s m a l l amount of crack cocaine was STIREWALT f o u n d wrapped in a receipt, the report said. Stirewalt, of 670 Goodman Lake Road, was charged with simple possession of a controlled substance on jail premises, felony possession of cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia. She was given a $6,000 bond.

McCrory hints at another run for governor RALEIGH (AP) — Former Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory is making stronger statements about another bid for North Carolina governor in 2012. The Republican said on a WRAL-TV program taped Friday he was interested in a rematch with Democratic incumbent Beverly Perdue next year. When asked if he planned another campaign, McCrory responded “I hope to. I really want to,” But he stopped short of entering the race. He made a similar com-

ment to WITN-TV during a visit to New Bern on Thursday night. Perdue narrowly beat McCrory in 2008. McCrory has been traveling around the state speaking to Republican and tea party groups. He criticized Perdue’s state budget proposal released Thursday and said government should be performing core responsibilities while creating an environment to improve the private economy.

Thieves dump stolen antlers in river REIDSVILLE (AP) — Rockingham County police say three teenagers plundered local taxidermy shops and then dumped some of the stolen goods in the Dan River. Three people face a variety of charges including lar-

LOANS FROM 3a “I feel that if we were to participate (in the federal loan program) there would be students that would borrow money for purposes other than education,” said Martin Nadelman, president of Alamance Community College and one of the most vocal critics of the mandate. “I think we’re trying to help them do the right thing.” Montgomery Community College president Mary Kirk said her campus, Nadelman’s and many others have affiliated foundations that offer grants on top of federal and state financial aid. Her college’s foundation had money for 60 to 70 scholarships this year, yet got only about 40 applications, Kirk said. So there’s no reason a student should leave community college burdened with debt, said Kirk, who heads an association representing the state’s community college presidents. “Maybe people would say that’s not your decision. It’s true, it’s not. But a lot of our students are first-generation college students” who may have trouble managing loans, Kirk said. The view is shared by the American Association of Com-

ceny and breaking and entering. Police say they expect to file more charges soon. Two Reidsville taxidermy shops reported the thefts of deer antlers, mounts and other merchandise earlier this month. munity Colleges, which says the schools are structured so that borrowing is a student’s last resort. The loan mandate was the product of a legislative committee that studied state-funded financial aid and found requiring all community colleges to offer them would maximize available federal funding. The committee found North Carolina was one of four states where more than 40 percent of community college students can’t get federal student loans. “Nothing suggested to me that students in these other colleges were any less capable of making decisions about their life, about what debt they wanted to incur, or that they were any less advantaged or disadvantaged in gaining jobs when they left the college,” said committee member Rep. Rick Glazier, DCumberland. “It’s not about what’s best for the colleges, but what’s best for the student.” Matthew Robinson said subsidized loans might have eased the struggle of some of his classmates at Alamance Community College, like the single parent with two children who drove the bus he once rode to high school. “I know people who paid for their own tuition and books, paid for rent,” said Robinson, 21, of Mebane, who

Disabled gain better access to lottery RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The Virginia Lottery has agreed to take steps to ensure that its games are accessible to the disabled, settling a lawsuit that was filed in 2005 and reached the state Supreme Court. The lottery and the Virginia Office for Protection and Advocacy, which represented several disabled residents who filed the lawsuit, announced the settlement Friday. Richmond Circuit Judge Margaret Spencer originally dismissed the lawsuit, but the Virginia Supreme Court in 2009 ruled that the lottery is a state program that must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The court sent the case back to Spencer, who has approved the settlement that was the product of more than a year of negotiations. “This landmark agreement will improve access to retail establishments all over the commonwealth,” said Colleen Miller, executive director of the advocacy agency. Stores are required to comply with the disabilities law even if they don’t sell lottery tickets, but rather than sue the retailers, the plaintiffs thought it was important to hold the state accountable, Miller said. “It was the larger policy issue of whether the commonwealth of Virginia ought to be giving some kind of huge financial benefit to businesses that aren’t complying with the law,” she said. Paula Otto, executive director of the Virginia Lottery, said the agency has established a Retailer Accessibility Program to implement the agreement. She said the lottery is hiring three people — a program director and two compliance representatives who will travel the state to determine whether retailers are meeting ADA requirements on issues like handicapped parking and counter access for people in wheelchairs. Under the agreement, all lottery retailers licensed after Jan. 1, 2011, must comply with the ADA provisions within a year after their license is activated. Previously licensed retailers will be surveyed for compliance every three years. Any necessary modifications costing up to $1,000 must be completed by the retailer within a year. If modifications cost more than $1,000, retailers must make as many changes as they can up to a spending limit of 20 percent of their previous year’s lottery commissions. If modifications are not made within a year, the retailer’s lottery license will be suspended until they are. Otto said lottery officials believe most retailers are accessible, and those that are not will be able to meet the requirements without much difficulty. now studies business at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. “They could use that help.” None of the state’s community colleges is now at risk of being sanctioned for high numbers of unpaid student loans, said Van Wilson, a top academic and student services officer. If a school has ever been penalized, it’s been decades, he said. While the U.S. Education Department annually warns schools when they have unacceptably high student loan default rates, the agency was unable to say this week when a school actually was cut off from being able to offer federal financial aid. Edgecombe Community College president Deborah Lamm said she’s determined to make student loans available because the need for financial aid is increasing. Her school in one of the state’s poorest regions saw enrollment jump 43 percent over two years to 3,380 last fall. Eighteen percent of the school’s students borrowed to cover education costs in 2009, up from 8 percent two years earlier, Lamm said. “Our students are using that money to pay the rent, child care,” Lamm said. “It’s just that the economy is so dire and so desperate that more and more people are needing the help.”

FORD FROM 3a never made my momma cry. They told me I wasn’t going to make it as an actor because I was too black, too ugly and too big. Everything they told me I couldn’t do, I did.” Ford told the students they must make positive choices. “Be a straight-A student instead of just getting by,” Ford said. “Because you may have made a mess of your life doesn’t mean you have to stay a mess. If your daddy was a loser you don’t have to be loser. You’ve got the power to change.” Ford, who has appeared in “Harlem Nights” with Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor, “Mr. Jones” with Richard Gere, “Butchers Wife” with Demi Moore and “Across the Tracks” with Brad Pitt, recently completed his fifth season on TV One’s hit show “Who’s Got Jokes,” which is hosted by Bill Bellamy and being labeled a success by critics. He was asked to come to Livingstone College as part of the school’s Lean and Green initiative, which strives to improve the health of its students, faculty and staff. Ford, in pursuing his longtime dream, has launched a series of children’s books that are designed to promote healthy, spiritual and non-violent living while guiding young people to become better people.

House moves to kill health care funding NEED

CASH?

GOP also axes money set for global warming rules, Planned Parenthood

Congressman gets caught up in ‘Bieber fever’ HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — For a short time, they seemed so simpatico: the idealistic congressman, the teenage singing sensation, their shared disappointment in the U.S. health care system. Now, though, Connecticut Democrat Christopher Murphy and Justin Bieber, the famously coiffed Pied Piper of love-struck girls worldwide, have parted ways philosophically over the Biebs’ opposition to abortion. Their split is less puzzling to some observers than the fact that Murphy, 37, a threeterm U.S. representative, even invoked the pop star as a voice of authority in the first place. No worries, Murphy said Friday: He doesn’t have Bieber fever, nor is he taking public policy directives from pop culture. He’s just using Twitter and Facebook to stay connected with constituents and show them he’s a regular guy, he said, “even one who is probably too plugged in to pop culture.” “I care deeply about public policy, but I’m not afraid to show that I also know something about things like sports and music, and yes, even Justin Bieber,” Murphy said. Like many of today’s flareand-fizzle connections, their one-sided bromance played out electronically with a few Twitter messages and hashtags, or short phrases and words used to categorize posts according to their topics. Murphy, who authors his own tweets, wrote Thursday morning: “Bieber on health care” and added the hashtag, “(hash)mycaseofbieberfever,” plus a link to Bieber’s comments in a recent Rolling Stone interview. The Canadian-born singer called the U.S. health care system “evil” for the medical debt it places on some patients. But in the same interview, Bieber also mentioned his opposition to abortion, which he considers to be “like killing a baby.” Less than an hour after his first tweet about Bieber’s health care concerns, Murphy was back on Twitter. His chagrined comment: “Oh wait ... just heard what Biebs said about abortion. Ugh.” Thus ended the brief affinity, though it’s unclear whether Bieber even knew about it, between launching a world tour, appearing at the recent Grammy Awards,

guest-starring on “CSI” and promoting his new movie. A representative for him did not immediately respond to an email Friday seeking comment. The incident has been a source of amusement and a little eye-rolling among some observers. Connecticut Republican Party Chairman Chris Healy admitted that, yes, politicians from both sides of the aisle often try to paint themselves as hip BIEBER and attuned to pop culture. But linking your political ideology to that of a 16-yearold singer whose fans, calling themselves the “Beliebers,” swoon and scream at the sight of his face? “Which voters are Chris Murphy trying to reach now, 14-year-old girls?” Healy asked. “It’s amazing what some politicians will do to try to tell the public, ‘Hey, I’m cool, I’m paying attention to the zeitgeist.’ It’s kind of funny how it blows up in your face.” Murphy’s tweets prompted Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton, a Republican whose city is in the congressman’s district, to post a few of his own: “I think I have Bieber fever,” followed by, “Never mind, it’s just an allergy . Phew. (hash)wasgettingreallynervous.” Murphy isn’t worried about the jokes, nor has the incident changed his opinion on using Twitter — or following pop culture. “I just think that people in government tend to take themselves too seriously, and social media is a way for me to show people that I’m just a regular guy,” he said in a statement. All the same, though, there won’t be a Justin Bieber concert T-shirt in Murphy’s dresser drawer anytime soon, nor is he likely to be humming verses of Bieber’s hit “Baby” on his way to Capitol Hill. After his “ugh” reaction on Twitter to Bieber’s abortion stance, the congressman drove home his point with two more hash tags: “(hash)timetobequietagainjustin” and “(hash)bieberfevercured.” No word, though, on whether he’s gaga for Lady Gaga.

Conn., said the GOP effort would “put insurance companies back in charge, further demonstrating the majority’s special-interest priorities and hypocrisy on job creation and deficit reduction.” In Friday’s action, Republicans muscled through a proposal to block federal aid to Planned Parenthood by a 240185 vote and won bipartisan support to reverse a proposed Obama administration rule that seeks to crack down of for-profit colleges and vocational schools. A proposal by Texas Republican Ted Poe to strip the Environmental Protection Agency of its authority to issue regulations on global warming passed by a 249-177 vote. Taken together, Friday’s developments pushed the GOP-dominated House and the president even further apart as a March 4 deadline looms. It may make it more difficult to reach agreement if House Republicans become wedded to positions opposed

by Obama and the Democratic-led Senate. With a government shutdown possible if the spending measure isn’t extended at least temporarily, House Speaker John Boehner, ROhio, inflamed the situation Thursday by insisting that the GOP-controlled House would refuse to approve even a short-term measure at current spending levels. “Read my lips: We’re going to cut spending,” Boehner declared. Democrats immediately charged that Boehner was maneuvering Congress to the precipice of a government shutdown. The GOP would reduce spending to about $60 billion below last year’s levels, mixing an increase of less than 2 percent for the Pentagon with slashing cuts averaging about 12 percent from non-Pentagon accounts. Such cuts would feel almost twice as deep since they would be spread over the final seven months of the budget year.

Former Palin aide writing tell-all JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — One of Sarah Palin’s trusted advisers is planning a tell-all memoir, drawing upon thousands of personal e-mails during his time with the former Alaska governor to paint what his agent calls an expose of the inner workings of her operation. Frank Bailey rose from a campaign volunteer to administration official and figure in the “Troopergate” scandal that fixated the public’s attention during Palin’s vice presidential bid in 2008. A preliminary draft of the unpublished book, tentatively called “Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin: A Memoir of our Tumultuous Years,” was leaked to re-

porters. Ken Morris, a Californiabased writer who worked with Bailey on the manuscript, said in an e-mail that the material is preliminary, subject to copyright protections and not authorized for use. Once Palin’s friend, Bailey is now among those criticizing her. “Since leaving the Governor’s office, Frank has been forced to reconsider his actions on Palin’s behalf in terms of his deep Christian faith and his allegiance to her as the standard-bearer for the conservative causes he still champions,” Carol Mann of the Carol Mann Agency, wrote in an e-mail.

House that would impose deep cuts on domestic programs. The overall bill is the first step in an increasingly bitter struggle between Democrats and Republicans over how much to cut federal agencies’ funding over the second half of the budget year that ends Sept. 30. Current funding runs out March 4 and a temporary spending bill will be needed to avoid a government shutdown. Republicans say the legislation would pare Social Security’s administrative budget by $125 million from current levels plus another $500 million from a reserve fund. Democrats say the cut would leave the agency with $1.7 billion less than Obama requested. Much of Friday’s focus was on GOP efforts to block implementation of Obama’s health care overhaul, which dominated Congress’ work in 2009 and was enacted last year. An amendment by Rep. Denny Rehberg, R-Mont., to block the health care overhaul money was approved by a 239-187 vote. The GOP has virtually no chance of killing the law because of support for the program from Obama and the Democratic-run Senate, but House Republicans have been trying relentlessly to chip away at it. “It’s a law designed by those who wish to control every health care decision made by health care providers and patients, by every employer and employee, by every family and individual,” Rehberg said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In rapid-fire action Friday, the Republican-controlled House voted to strip federal money from President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul and from Planned Parenthood and to bar the EPA from issuing global warming regulations. Upping the ante in the budget faceoff, the Obama administration warned that workers who distribute Social Security benefits might be furloughed if congressional Republicans force cuts in government spending. In a letter the Social Security Administration sent to its employees’ union, agency officials said that while no decision about furloughs had been made, they were possible “given the potential of reduced congressional appropriations.” The letter was circulated by congressional Democrats, who said such cuts could mean shuttered Social Security offices and delayed benefit payments. The letter’s distribution by Democrats underscored how the threat of jeopardizing Social Security payments is a potent political weapon. GOP lawmakers accused Democrats of “irresponsible scare tactics,” and said their proposed cuts would not affect benefits or force the Social Security Administration to close offices. Any furloughs “would result only if that decision were made by the administration,” House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., said in a written statement. Republicans are pushing a huge spending bill through the

SUIT CHALLENGES N.C.

How to tax the Internet From the Herald-Sun of Durham: t will be a relief when Internet startups stop behaving like wobbling upstarts that need special protection. Two cases in point: First, Amazon and now six online travel companies that include Travelocity and Expedia are suing the state (and, in the case of the travel sites, Durham) over taxes. Last year, the General Assembly passed a law that requires online travel companies to pay sales tax on the full amount that a consumer pays when she books a hotel room through a website. Hotels offer the online travel companies packages of rooms at wholesale prices, allowing the online vendors to mark up the rates and pocket the difference as a “facilitation fee.” Under the old tax code, the state only received tax for the wholesale cost of the room, not the marked-up amount that consumers paid. This is going to be an interesting suit, but it’s already cast light on two critical gaps in government. First, the state of North Carolina urgently needs tax reform. Our tax structure is based on making things — manufacturing, agriculture — while our economy is skewed toward services like travel facilitation. One of the points in the travel companies’ suit is that the state doesn’t tax other services. We should. Second, the U.S. Congress needs to repeal the Internet Tax Freedom Act, which says that online businesses are generally exempt from collecting state taxes anywhere that the business does not have a brick-and-mortar presence. That made a lot more sense in the days when it seemed impossible that online booksellers would overwhelm local bookstores, and before online booking companies had all but destroyed traditional travel agencies. The Internet Tax Freedom Act will come up again in the battle between North Carolina and Amazon.com. Amazon and the American Civil Liberties Union (rightly) prevailed in their privacy lawsuit after the N.C. Department of Revenue requested information about Amazon shoppers so it could collect back sales taxes. Under the settlement, the state’s future requests must include a note that North Carolina “does not request the names, titles or other identifying information from which names and titles can be derived of the books, movies, music or other expressive items sold.” The judge noted in his ruling that the settlement “cannot be interpreted to grant Amazon a free pass from complying with any valid tax law of North Carolina.” In other words, the state can keep chasing that sales tax — and should.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

If we live good lives, the times are also good. As we are, such are the times. — Saint Augustine

Moderately Confused

Dark shadows can’t linger Pay attention — life’s always happening riting a personal column is an odd way to eke out a living. I know because I’ve been doing it, or trying, at least, for 20

years. Anna Quindlen, who wrote a personal column before moving to op-ed pieces, described it as “an emotional striptease.” Sometimes it can feel a little naked. But I like to believe, as personal as it may seem, I am writing not just about my own life, but life in general. I love hearing from readers who say they share in that belief. People often ask how I keep SHARON finding things to RANDALL write about. It’s easy. If your job is to write about things that happen in life, you just have to stay alive and pay attention, and things will keep happening. I try to stay alive. I try to pay attention. And I wake up each day curious to see what will happen next. Sometimes they’re things I don’t want to happen, but they happen sooner or later to most of us, to some more than others. We can’t always choose what we get, good or bad. We can only choose what we do with it. That is the choice, isn’t it? What we do with what we’re given is the difference between being alive or just passing time. Recently I took a day off from writing to attend a memorial service for my father-in-law, a man I fell in love with years before I married his son. To explain my absence, some newspapers noted that it was due to a death in the family. And once again, as in the past when I lost someone I loved — my mother, my dad, my first husband, friends who died too young — I began hearing from readers around the country who wrote to offer their condolences and prayers and love. People are good. If you doubt it, try writing a personal column and see for yourself. We humans are incredibly human. As often as we screw things up, we also have a great capacity for caring.

My father-in-law, a self-described “newspaperman,” was raised by a single mother, who scrubbed floors to buy cornmeal to make tortillas. As a boy, he delivered the newspaper for which he would one day become publisher. After high school, he joined the Navy, fought in World War II, finished college and married the girl of his dreams. His rise from paperboy to publisher to corporate executive is the kind of success story we all love to point to with pride and say, “Only in America.” But that is not why he was loved. He was loved because he loved. And because he had an uncanny ability to make you believe in yourself. At his memorial service, I met dozens of people who told me their stories of what he meant to them and how he had somehow made them feel important. I, of course, told them mine. I met him 11 years ago. He’d just had heart surgery, and I had just started dating his son. He sat up in his hospital bed, took my hands in his and said he’d been wanting to meet me for years. “I read the first column you ever wrote,” he said, “and I cut it out and sent it to (his son, who hadn’t known me at the time) with a note that said, ‘Read this woman, she’s a keeper!’ “ Five years later, I married his son on the condition that with every passing year, he would grow to be a little more like his dad. It’s not an easy promise to keep, but he’s trying. My husband concluded the perfect eulogy he delivered for his father with the last words his dad said to us: “Be good to each other.” Those are good words, don’t you think, both to sum up one life and begin moving forward with our own? To those of you who sent your kind wishes, please know we are grateful beyond all singing of it. Death casts a dark shadow that cannot linger long in the lovely light of a life well lived. • • • Sharon Randall can be contacted at P.O. Box 777394, Henderson NV 89077, or at www.sharonrandall.com.

What’s really driving turmoil in Egypt and elsewhere The past weeks have seen great turmoil erupting in Egypt. You have been led to believe by Obama and the government media (ABC, NBC and CBS) that these riots were spontaneous; that the people had enough of the dictatorship and were ready for change. If you have been paying attention, this is not the first of the riots; other people in other countries have been demanding a change of government, and this won’t be the last. All of the little dictatorships in the Middle East and in Europe will experience even more organized riots demanding change. Yes, these demonstrations are organized, even though the masses involved do not realize what’s happening. How many people does it take to bring together others that are tired of low wages, rampant hunger, a two-class society composed of the very rich and the very poor? How many? One can do it! In this country, it’s called a community organizer. Only one man is all it takes and hundreds, even thousands, can be led to achieve not what the masses desire, even though it will seem that way, but rather what the organizers want. In Egypt, the communist-socialists, the Muslim Brotherhood, Hazbollah and al-Qaeda have banded together with the masses to overthrow Hosni Mubarak. The call has been for a democracy. What does communism, socialism or the radical right in Egypt have in common with a democracy? Nothing. Democracy is the antithesis of these radical beliefs. Why then have these community organizers gone along with this call for democracy? To bring about turmoil and later in time, a recognized leader will appear and promise to end the abuses of the past. What they will have is another Iran. It’s no secret our government is riddled with

communists and socialists. Do you think these things could happen here? — Richard Roberts Kannapolis

What’s deal on surplus funds? I noticed in the legals that a lender is petitioning the court for the rights to “surplus funds” from the sale of a foreclosure. If this is in fact what it appears to be, from 40 years of experience in lending, it is my understanding that “surplus funds” — i.e., the profit on the sale of a foreclosure — are to be returned to the owner who was foreclosed. Since it is also my experience that most folks do not choose to allow a property to go to foreclosure, but are forced to through dire financial circumstances, I would hope that some local enterprising attorney will track down these former owners and assist them in securing these funds which may rightly be theirs. Also, thanks to the gentleman driving the Brady Electric Co. panel van that came to the rescue of the two ladies on Wright Road last week when he helped us pick up and secure the basketball goal which had blown out of the pickup. Angels do live among us, and a big thanks to you! — D.C. Sink Rockwell

Year. Yes, I know this is trivial when the world is falling apart, but it always has been since God said, “Gentlemen, start your engines!” From the lips of the least learned to the venerable voice- boxes of academe to the sacred secular well of the British House of Commons, one hears the construction, “Between you and I ...” Wrong squared. In English, an objective personal pronoun is required after a preposition, not a subjective pronoun (unless a complete sentence follows the preposition). Would you be caught dead saying “Between we”? Of course not. Professor ’enry ’iggins would ’ave your ’ead! I do not know how a blatant error becomes accepted practice, except in politics. But in this case, it has. Perhaps people think “between you and me” sounds wrong whilst “between you and I” sounds right, thus giving the latter a raise but firing the former. At work, we have all seen how the brightest fall victim to the ignorant in the eyes of the boss. Not wishing to incur the wrath of contemporary English teachers, I shan’t blame them. The shroud of incompetence covers a multitude of sinning professions; even virgin wits, I am told. Aldeena Smith, my high school English teacher, was a strict but creative taskmaster. Many students feared her intellect. I admired and obeyed her insistence upon excellence. My subsequent failures have only magnified my estimation of her brillance. From her classes, I took away this dictum: Before you are allowed to break the rules of English, you must know them. This conviction was confirmed for me (not “for I”) when I took a degree in English Literature from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1966. Before you blogheads out there label me a crotchety old stick-in-the-mud (which I am), I realize that English is a malleable, flexible language adaptable to the whims of time and fashion. When it comes to the fluidity of grammar, syntax and vocabulary, in English mutatis mutandis is the rule-ofthumb. It would take a forklift to deliver the 20 volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) to your doorstep. But I am firm in my conviction that English speakers shall not, via techno-speak, become complete twits, so to speak. Yet, I am not daft to the lessons of history. Even such an English language luminary as Sir Winston Churchill was lambasted for his reckless rhetoric. The iconic World War II British prime minister was once held to account for ending sentences with a preposition. In reply, the cigar-fuming, whiskey-swilling PM harumphed: “Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put!” With that pungently purgative peroration, class is dismissed. I will not even bother to rant and rave about the misuse of the correct personal pronoun before a gerund or the abomination heaped upon the conjugation of the past perfect tense. Boys and girls, I implore you to consider this lesson in a spirit of charity. In 2008, I predicted that the Chicago Cubs baseball team would, after a 100-year hiatus, win the World Series. The lovable losers lost to the Dodgers 3-0 in the first round of playoffs. It ain’t easy being smart. • • • Bill Fesperman lives in China Grove.

N AT I O N / W O R L D

Unions coming under fire in several state capitols Republicans who swept into power in state capitols this year with promises to cut spending and bolster the business climate now are beginning to usher in a new era of labor relations that could result in the largest reduction of power in decades for public employee unions. But as massive public protests and legislative boycotts in Wisconsin this week have shown, the Republican charge can be fraught with risk and unpredictable turns as politicians try to transform campaign ideas into action. The question GOP governors and lawmakers are now facing is exactly how far they can go without possibly alienating voters they won over in the midterm elections last fall. Do they merely extract more money from school teachers, prison guards and office workers to help ease their states’ budget problems? Or do they go at the very core of union power by abolishing the workers’ right to bargain collectively? Do they try to impose changes by steamrolling the opposition, or by coming to the bargaining table? “The consequences will be rolling forth for many, many years,” said James Gregory, director of Center for Labor Studies at the University of Washington. “The battle lines have been drawn and will be replicated around the country. This is going to be very tough for unions and public sector employees.” In Wisconsin, new Republican Gov. Scott Walker is going for it all — the elimination of collective bargaining rights for public employees plus sharp increases in their health care and pension payments. His plan advanced quickly to the Republican-led Senate, despite several days of protests that drew tens of thousands of demonstrators to the Capitol. Then Senate Democrats sud-

Bahrainian security forces fire into crowds MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — Security forces opened fire Friday on Bahraini protesters for a second straight day, wounding at least 50 people as thousands defied the government and marched toward Pearl Square in an uprising that sought to break the political grip of the Gulf nation’s leaders. Once again, Bahrain authorities showed no hesitation in using force against demonstrators who ramped up demands to bring down the whole ruling monarchy. U.S. President Barack Obama condemned the use of violence against the protesters in Bahrain, as well as in Libya and Yemen, where heavy crackdowns by old-guard regimes were reported. A Libyan doctor said 35 protesters were killed in the eastern city of Benghazi during a confrontation with security forces, while three people were killed and 48 were wounded during protests called as part of a “Friday of Rage in Yemen. The continuing wave of anger in the Arab world followed successful uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, where hundreds of thousands of people celebrated the downfall of President Hosni Mubarak one week ago.

Learning a second language may delay Alzheimer’s onset WASHINGTON (AP) — Mastering a second language can pump up your brain in ways that seem to delay getting Alzheimer’s disease later on, scientists said Friday. Never learned to habla or parlez? While the new research focuses mostly on the truly long-term bilingual, scientists say even people who tackle a new language later in life stand to gain. The more proficient you become, the better, but “every little bit helps,” said Ellen Bialystok, a psychology professor at York University in Toronto. Much of the study of bilingualism has centered on babies, as scientists wondered why simply speaking to infants in two languages allows them to learn both in the time it takes most babies to learn one. Their brains seem to be-

Many union leaders contend the latest efforts have less to do the budget crisis than simple political retribution. “What you’re seeing is the same old politics as usual — elections take place, and politicians who get elected then use their newfound power to try to punish their enemies or organizations and individuals who didn’t support them,” said Jeff Mazur, executive director of AFSCME Council 72, which covers Missouri and Kansas.

On-air incoherence terrified TV reporter in Grammys report LOS ANGELES (AP) — A TV reporter who lapsed into gibberish during a live shot outside the Grammys said she was terrified when it happened and knew something was wrong as soon as she opened her mouth. KCBS-TV reporter Serene Branson’s incoherence Sunday fueled Internet speculation that she suffered an onair stroke. But doctors at the University of California, Los Angeles, where she went to get a brain scan and blood work done, ruled it out. Doctors said she suffered a type of migraine that can mimic symptoms of a stroke. Branson told CBS’ “The Early Show” in an interview Friday that she was terrified, scared and confused, and didn’t know what was going on. “I knew something wasn’t right as soon as I opened my mouth,” she said. “I hadn’t been feeling well a little bit before the live shot.

Woman gets 7 years for trying to make coach pay over tryst LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The woman convicted of threatening to reveal a sexual tryst with basketball coach Rick Pitino unless he paid her millions in cash, luxury cars and a house was sentenced Friday to more than seven years in prison. Karen Cunagin Sypher cried intermittently and gave a short, incoherent statement during Friday’s hearing before being sentenced to 87 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Charles R. Simpson III. He also ordered two years of supervised release after she serves her prison term. A jury convicted Sypher in August of extortion, lying to the FBI and retaliation against a witness. The charges carried a maximum sentence of 26 years, but federal sentencing guidelines called for a shorter term. Simpson called the crime “sheer greed and a desire for money and other accoutrements for a lifestyle for which the defendant desired.” Pitino was not at the hearing Friday. University sports information director Kenny Klein said Pitino would have

said. Riders came from the Carolinas, Virginia, Florida, West Virginia, Illinois and Indiana. According to its website, the main mission of Patriot Guard Riders is to attend funeral services “of fallen American heroes as invited guests of the family.” Each mission, it says, has the objectives of showing respect to the veterans, their families and communities and shielding the mourning families and their friends “from interruptions created by any protester or group of protesters.” The PGR was founded in Kansas in 2005 as a response to protests by “religious zealots” at military fuARBUCKLE nerals. Since then, numbers in the organization have steadily grown in states across the country.

ing to our interpretation of the public records law, you got it.” In one e-mail exchange on Jan. 4, though, Salisbury Fire Capt. Tyler Forrest admonished Brown and several others to “follow policy about posting things on Facebook or any social networking site.” “Pictures, comments, anything that involves SFD (the Salisbury Fire Department) is being watched,” Forrest wrote. Brown responded: “Hey captain I am sorry for the pictures you would think that people would grow up and leave you alone but they always have to start problems instead of just coming straight to the person about the situation.” “I promise it won’t happen again cause im not going to let cory orbison get me fired over nothing,” Brown wrote. Orbison is a captain with the Salisbury Fire Department and chief of the South Salisbury Volunteer Fire Department. He told the Post in late January that he had dismissed Brown from the volunteer fire department on Jan. 20 “for conduct issues.” Treme said Miller was the only employee to appeal his dismissal. The city manager has the final say in the appeals process. “We take allegations regarding employee conduct seriously,” Treme said in the city’s statement. “In the course of addressing these issues, we fully investigate all complaints and take appropriate action as necessary. We hold our employees accountable for their actions. I continue to be proud of the outstanding level of service that the men and women of the Salisbury Fire Department provide our citizens.” With the city under a hiring freeze in this year’s budget, Treme said the Fire Department would count on part-time employees to take the shifts of the three who were fired. Contact Scott Jenkins at 704-797-4248.

When asked about McKenzie’s charges, Greene remained positive. “We just wish her the best,” he said. McKenzie declined to talk to a Post reporter Friday. These charges are not McKenzie’s first brush with the law, according to the N.C. Department of Corrections. McKenzie has been convicted of resisting an officer, possession of drug paraphernalia, two counts of possession with intent to sell a schedule II controlled substance, possession or a firearm by a felon, and two misdemeanor school attendance law violations. McKenzie is scheduled to make her first appearance in Rowan County court March 7.

ney Colon Willoughby said the victim has been courageous in the case, saying she didn’t want Lovick to go to prison but did want to make sure he wasn’t in law enforcement. Lovick resigned in June.

sues involving members of the Salisbury Fire Department. I regret if these actions have diminished confidence in our department,” Fire Chief Bob Parnell said. “However, I want to assure our citizens that during this time, their fire protection service was never compromised. We take our responsibility very seriously in providing fire, rescue and medical services to our citizens. We will work hard to maintain the public’s confidence in our department.” Brown, who had been with the department since DecemPARNELL ber 2009, was fired Jan. 16. Her dismissal letter says she was dismissed for “misrepresentation of facts and willful acts of misconduct.” On Jan. 25, Miller was fired and Hedrick suspended without pay. Both had been on administrative leave prior to that date. The city fired Lyerly Feb. 2. Miller had worked at the Fire Department since 1995, Lyerly since 1996. The city provided dismissal letters for Lyerly and Miller on Friday that said they were fired “due to actions of misconduct by a fire department supervisor.” Though a new personnel law enacted in October 2010 requires government agencies to “set forth specific acts or omissions that are the basis of the dismissal,” Salisbury officials have refused to provide more detail about the acts of misconduct. And Treme said any evidence obtained during the investigation “is not a public record, and I’m not going to share my information about the investigation or procedures.” The city did turn over e-mails to the Post on Friday to and from the four firefighters involved in the investigation and Parnell, the fire chief, since late December. The e-mails don’t appear to include anything about the allegations or the investigation, and Treme wouldn’t say whether any e-mails were withheld because the city deemed their content confidential. “If it was determined to be public record, then you have it,” he said. “Accord-

SALISBURY POST

When death comes twice ost all of us have experienced the death of a loved one. The pain of losing someone is deep and its void often seems unbearable. The sudden passing through accident or medical trauma presents us with overwhelming grief and sorrow. We cannot help but feel for anyone who goes through such an REV. DAVID experience. As painful as NELSON the death experience is, there are some people who have to face it for a second time. Death comes twice for those who care for loved ones suffering from extreme dementia known as Alzheimers. It is a devastating malady that robs its victims of their mind and their personhood. A victim of Alzheimers inexorably loses memory, understanding, skill, and self-control due to the devastating disease of memory loss. North Carolinian Myrna Doernberg writes about her husband’s struggle with Alzheimers. Her book is titled “Stolen Mind—the Slow Disappearance of Ray Doernberg.” She describes the insidious and relentless nature of progressive, irreversible brain deterioration, and its cruel and devastating effects on victims' loved ones. The book is a diary that Ray started when he first noticed symptoms of this subversive disease. His wife, Myrna, took over for her husband when he was no longer able to write because of his confusion. A year and a half later, the forty-eight year old architect—an extremely early aged victim— met his physical death. For Myrna, Ray had already died due to Alzheimers. Myrna experienced two deaths of her husband. Statistics alone tell us that chances are one in three that at some time or another each of us will face such an illness in a close relative or, maybe even in ourselves. Alzheimers claims the mind, while physical demise claims the body of the victim— one person, two deaths. The pain of this double death is worse than spreading salt on an open wound. The question that must be raised is this: how can we as a community support those coping with Alzheimers? First they need our understanding and love. Second, they need the knowledge that there are support groups that help families cope with this malady. Third, there are medications that are now available to help in sufferers’ cognition. And, fourth, there is much literature that is helpful as well. One important book designed for the caregivers is “The Thirty-six Hour Day” by Nancy Mace and Peter Rabins. It helps its readers to realize that caring for a loved one with Alzheimers is equivalent to a 36-hour day. Our Christian Faith teaches that we are to love one another. St. John tells us that Jesus said, “love one another as I have loved you.” (John 13:34) If you are confronted by the heartbreak of Alzheimers in your family, loved one, neighbor, or friend, go out of your way to let them know that you care. The double death that they are facing is real. Yet even more real can be the occasion for them to experience the reality of your love and support.

Ron Lee, who is currently serving at Immanuel Presbyterian Church in China Grove, is shown here preaching during an internship at the First Presbyterian Church in Honolulu, Hawaii.

‘Sing unto the Lord a new song’ — Psalm 96:1 BY SARAH HALL for Salisbury Post

How does a Hawaiian-born, Jewish drummer go from performing in clubs at Lake Tahoe to preaching as an ordained Presbyterian minister in China Grove? The Lord works in mysterious ways, and he chooses unlikely messengers. He got Moses’ attention with a burning bush. For Paul, it was a blinding light on the road to Damascus. Ron Lee’s moment of truth came through the glow of a TV screen. Ron’s childhood home in Hawaii was filled with musical instruments, thanks to his musician father who would tell young Ron, “Go over there and pluck on something.” He was playing ukulele at age 5, and violin in grade school, “but I was always banging on stuff,” says Ron, laughing. “Pots, pans, anything. My mother told my father, ‘Get this boy something,’ and he got me some fivedollar bongos. Then later he got me cymbals and a snare.” In high school, he played drums with the band Linda Green and the Tempos, a group that stood out by playing standards while other bands were doing rock n’ roll. They were selected as one of the top bands in Hawaii in a contest judged by Sophie Tucker. This led to radio airplay, a contract with Reprise Records, and the honor of opening for big acts that came through. So 15-year-old Ron found himself sharing the stage with the Kinks, Herman’s Hermits, the Righteous Brothers and Jan and Dean. At graduation, he was awarded a music scholarship to San Francisco Conservatory where he met his first wife. The couple moved to Los Angeles, and Ron transferred to University of Southern California. Some of his teachers at USC were also studio musicians. He accompanied his teachers to studios where he got to observe conducting legends like John Williams and Jerry Goldsmith. At the same time, he was working clubs in LA and Vegas. That led to a regular job as percussionist in the 39-piece house band for a club at Lake Tahoe, backing up Neil Sedaka,

John Davidson, John Denver, Tony Orlando, and Bernadette Peters, to name just a few. Ron’s marriage came to an end. He took a job playing in bands on cruise ships, sailing the globe. He performed for the Princess Cruise Lines’ corporate restaurant. It was around this time he met Margie, who worked in real estate development. Then when Ron returned home for his father’s funeral, he reconnected with Margie, who had moved to Hawaii. They got married in 1989. In the 1990s, Ron spent five years as the drummer for Don Ho, including playing on his popular TV show. In 1997, the Lees moved to Charlotte where Margie’s brother lived so she could be closer to her aging parents in her hometown of Savannah, Ga. Ron got a job with the house band at Swing 1000 club in Charlotte. A couple years later they moved to Raleigh for Margie’s new job. Ron attended computer school,

which led to a new career working at IBM. He was still performing gigs in the evenings. It was on May 20, 2002 at 10 p.m. that Ron’s life would be forever changed. He knows the exact date and time: “The memory is sealed vividly for me,” he states. His wife was out of town, and Ron was channel surfing before bedtime. When he landed on the INSP channel, he says, “I heard this churchy-sounding music, so I tried to switch it. But the channel wouldn’t change. Then I heard a voice — not audible, but in my spirit — say, ‘You need to watch this.’” Ron paid attention to what was preached and even took notes. Then the minister looked into the camera and said, “There’s somebody out there who still doesn’t know Jesus Christ. Pray this prayer with me...” Ron had dropped to the floor, weeping uncontrollably. “I felt as if God draped a

He was driving past Mallard Creek Presbyterian Church when he heard the voice tell him to pull into the parking lot and go in the sanctuary. Ron says that when he entered, “a fragrance fell from the ceiling as sweet as dozens of bouquets of roses. I felt God touch the back of my head.”

warm blanket around me,” he remembers. “I heard that ‘still, small voice’ they talk about, the Holy Spirit, speaking to me. I said, ‘From this day forward I promise to seek you in prayer.’” This was a bolt from the blue for Ron, who didn’t even own a Bible. It had been years since religion held a place in his life. He had grown up in a Catholic home, but his first wife was a Reformed Jew, so Ron had converted and been a practicing Jew for 14 years. Margie’s background was Baptist, but the two of them never joined a church. When Margie returned from her trip, she found her husband a changed man, one who would engage in daily prayer and Bible reading. And she embraced this new, and sometimes miraculous, life. In his 40 years as a professional musician, Ron had never composed music. But now he wrote song after song, which came to him in the night. He had not really played piano in the past but started accompanying himself on keyboard as he sang. “I would hear a voice singing, and I would get up and go write the songs down. And sermons, too. I was having discussions with God. In the night, God has your full attention.” Margie had been out of work for a year. Ron turned this

Jesus called over a child, whom he stood in the middle of the room, and said, “I’m telling you, once and for all, that unless you return to square one and start over like children, you’re not even going to get a look at the kingdom, let alone get in. Whoever becomes simple and elemental again, like this child, will rank high in God’s kingdom. What’s more, when you receive the childlike on my account, it’s the same as receiving me.” Matthew 18:2-5 (THE MESSAGE)

She joined there also. Ron had joined on Sept. 29, 2002. Six months later, he filled out an application to attend seminary. Six months is the minimum amount of time one must be a member of a Presbyterian Church before applying to seminary. He would be the first member of Mallard Creek to attend seminary in over 25 years. In prayer, Ron had heard “I want you to preach,” but he answered, “I’m a drummer, not a preacher. Put me in a praise band.” And God answered, “It’s not about your comfort, it’s what I want you to do. Go to seminary.”

All events are free. Reservations for the dinner and program and the Monday morning session must be made by Feb. 22. To register, call the church office at 704636-1321 or visit www.salisburyfirstpres.org.

But the voice repeated the instructions. “My hand was shaking as I finished shaving,” he says. “I ran in and gave Larry the $200 and said I wanted to join. He said, ‘I thought you were going to wait,’ but I told him ‘I’ve got to listen to the Lord and obey.’” That afternoon Margie called, and Ron told her he’d broken his promise.

Cataracts: To see or not to see

Saturday, Feb. 19 Because you’ll base your projections upon realistic premises, success in all of your endeavors is indicated for you in the coming solar cycle. In fact, anything you envision can be attained through industrious tenacity. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You’ve helped plenty of people, and now it’s your turn. Something that is materially profitable is likely to develop through an arrangement where another has already laid a strong foundation. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — You’ll operate exceptionally well in all of your one-onone relationships, but especially in those that are of personal significance. In fact, you’ll even strengthen an old alliance. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Being cognizant of details should allow you to easily clear up all kinds of jobs you’ve previously found befuddling. With your concentration being on the right points, it’ll all get done. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — This is an excellent day to entertain those you haven’t seen for some time. However, it would be better to keep the group small and intimate, as well as warm and friendly. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — If you take care of your more demanding domestic and family needs, you’ll find everything else will automatically fall into place. Additionally, you’ll be able to pursue some outside interests. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Spend your time engaging in some of your more physical interests rather than just things of a mental nature. Give your muscles a little exercise while giving your brain a rest. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — That considerable common sense you posses will prove to be an enormous asset. Whenever you have any kind of decision to make, rely more on it than on anything else. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Those takecharge urges of yours will make it virtually impossible for you to sit idly by and watch others tackle a big job without any guidance. They’ll appreciate your input. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — When tackling an important project, it would be best for you to do so alone, free from all outside interferences. You’ll be far more productive and industrious when left to your own devices. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Idlers are likely to zap your positive attitude, so if you hope to be industrious, work only with cohorts who are operating on your wavelength. Avoid the lollygaggers of the world. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Being the top dog might be more important to you than usual, and your competitive spirit will happily take on all comers. Your strong inclinations will help you gain the laurels you desire. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — It’ll behoove you to be philosophical about whatever occurs. Thus, if you can treat both victory and defeat with equal grace, you’ll come through with flying colors. Trying to patch up a broken romance? The Astro-Graph Matchmaker can help you understand what to do to make the relationship work. Send for your Matchmaker set by mailing $3 to Astro-Graph, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167.

Protect suit from the right BY PHILLIP ALDER

Dear Reader: Cataracts develop slowly, so we have a tendency to attribute diminished vision to the aging process. They cloud vision, much like looking through a dirty or foggy window. We may see halos around lights, have difficulties reading or driving at night, colors fade and diplopia (double vision) may be present in one eye only. A cataract may affect a small portion of the lens of the eye but will eventually grow, distorting the light that passes through it. We

may compensate by being prescribed stronger eyeglasses and turning on more lights when reading; however, there comes a time when vision will be impaired enough in one or both eyes to require surgical repair. Cataracts may be congenital (present from birth) or can develop as we age. They affect the center, edges or back of the lens. Each location presents with its own characteristics. Those that affect the center may cause double images. The lens may yellow or eventually turn brown. It’s this modification of the lens that causes difficulties distinguishing colors. Those that affect the edges interfere with light passing through the center of the lens. Night driving becomes difficult because of the glare of oncoming vehicles. When a cataract obstructs the back of the lens, difficulties reading and halos can result. Congenital cataracts don’t always affect vision but when they do, surgical repair is commonly performed as soon as they are detected. There are several conditions that may contribute to developing cataracts. Extensive sunlight exposure without the use of sunglasses blocking harmful ultraviolet rays, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, advancing age, smoking and consuming excessive amounts of alcohol are but a few of the known causes. Diagnosis can be made through examination utilizing a slit lamp, dilation of

the eye(s) and the reading of an eye chart. A slit lamp allows your doctor to illuminate the inner eye and detect abnormalities. If your ophthalmologist has recommended surgical repair, it is likely because of the advancement of your cataracts and the effect they have had on your quality of life. Furthermore, the benefits of the procedure(s) must outweigh the risks. There comes a time when a stronger prescription will no longer be sufficient, but this doesn’t imply you should rush into surgery. That decision can best be left to you and your doctor. You have time to make a sensible decision. Your cataracts will not advance to a point where they cannot be removed. Surgery involves removing the clouded lenses and replacing them with a plastic implant. There is generally a period of three or four weeks between the procedures. Local anesthesia numbs the area around the eye(s), but you will be awake and alert during the procedure. And, as you have been told, repair does increase the risk of retinal detachment, a condition that develops when the retina at the back of the eye pulls away from the blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients. This occurs in less than 1 percent of cases. Advanced diabetes, trauma or shrinkage of the vitreous fluid that fills the inside of the eye, prior eye surgery and myopia (extreme near-

sightedness) may be to blame. Warning signs of retinal detachment include numerous floaters, light flashes and a shadow over the visual field. Should these or other unusual symptoms occur, you should seek immediate medical attention either with your eye doctor or an emergency department. Treatment options include several rather sophisticated but successful procedures. A loss of vision to the portion of the eye that corresponds to the detachment will result unless surgery is performed. To provide related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “An Informed Approach to Surgery.” Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order made payable to Newsletter and mailed to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. Be sure to mention the title or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com. 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.

Pierre Corneille, who was one of the three great 17thcentury French dramatists along with Moliere and Racine, said, “When we conquer without danger, our triumph is without glory.” That does not apply at the bridge table. If we make our contract without danger, partner will surely be impressed. In this example deal, how would you plan the play in three no-trump after West leads the spade seven: four, 10, king (or queen)? You must open one notrump with that South hand. If you start with one club and North (as he would) responds one diamond, what would you rebid? There is then no way to show a balanced hand with 1517 points. It is partner’s job to cover your weak suit. You have seven top tricks: one spade (trick one), three hearts, one diamond and two clubs. So you need only four club winners, not five. You should also realize that West has the spade ace. First, East was playing third hand high and would have won with the ace if he could have. Also, apply the Rule of Eleven. Seven from 11 is four, and you have seen all four spades higher than the seven: dummy’s eight, East’s 10 and your two honors. West must have the ace, jack and nine of spades. So, if East wins a trick, he will lead a spade through you, and West will run his suit. But if West is on lead, your remaining spade honor is a stopper.

Play a club to dummy’s ace, then lead a club and cover East’s card as cheaply as possible. If West could take the trick, your contract would be safe. Here, though, you collect an overtrick.

Dear Dr. Gott: I’ve been seeing an optometrist for several years now, and even though he says I don’t need a new prescription and he has diagnosed me with the beginning of cataracts, I don’t feel I DR. PETER can see as well as I once GOTT did. So I made an appointment yesterday with my ophthalmologist, who told me I have bilateral cataracts that have advanced to the point of requiring surgical removal. Now comes the hard part. My ophthalmologist indicates my risk of retinal detachment will increase. Can this be repaired if it happens? Perhaps I should suffer with poor vision rather than take the chance. What’s your take on the matter?

A strong winter storm continues pounding away at the West Coast on Saturday. The low pressure system that has hovered off the West Coast will start to advance eastward. This large system will produce a broad area of precipitation, from rain at the lower elevations of California and the Pacific Northwest, to moderate snowfall over the Sierras, periods of heavy rain over southern California, with snow even likely in the San Bernardino and San Gabriel Mountains. This wide system will reach over the Great Basin and into the Central Rockies Saturday evening, triggering light snow showers. It looks like the predicted storm totals were an underestimate for the Northern Sierras of near 2 to 4 feet above 7,000 feet. More realistically, storm totals by Saturday night will range from 3 to 5 feet at this level. Dangerous road conditions will persist through Saturday night. Please take caution when driving and only use all wheel drive vehicles or chains. Major highway closures are likely for all vehicles, especially overnight. Strong winds will persist across the West Coast. High mountain passes will see more windy conditions with gusts up to 70 mph. In comparison, the rest of the nation will see mild weather on Saturday. A low pressure system and weak cold front will slowly move off the East Coast. Light snow in the North will move from the Great Lakes into the Northeast. High pressure builds in behind this system, which will push cold and dry air in from Canada, allowing for a sunny and cool day. This will push temperatures back down to seasonalvalues across the Eastern half of the nation.

Eight-step function and fashion facelift for your kitchen and bath (ARA) - The winter months often mean gatherings and guests ... and much more time indoors. So, why not give the two rooms that you spend the most time in - the kitchen and bath - a function and fashion facelift? Luckily, minor updates that are easy, quick and inexpensive can make a major impact. Try some of these simple suggestions from real do-it-yourselfers, and you can make your kitchen and bath more stylish, safe, organized and enjoyable - all in eight, easy steps. 1. One of the easiest and most affordable ways to make over a bathroom is to update with new accessories. With a wide variety of designs and finishes - from traditional to modern - accessories such as towel bars, towel rings, robe hooks, towel bar hooks and shelves help get you more organized, while making a dramatic style statement. And don’t stop in the bath, towel bars and robe hooks are ideal kitchen additions to keep pot holders and towels close at hand. 2. Next, install new bathroom faucets. With nearly limitless finish, style and function options available, the simple change of a faucet can transform a room in only minutes . 3. It’s one of life’s constants: Toilet paper always runs out. But changing the roll doesn’t have to involve a spring-loaded bar flying across the room. Depending on your decorating tastes, choose from an innovative pivoting paper holder that features a bar you simply lift up to replace the roll or a European-styled design that features an open end for easy roll replacement. Either way, it’ll encourage everyone to lend a hand and change the roll. 4. Add style and space in the shower in minutes with a Curved Shower Rod from Moen. Originally seen only in upscale hotels, this unique product adds up to seven more inches of elbow room in the shower. Plus,

beautifully coordinated, signed look.

new S-shaped Shower Rod Hooks snap right onto the shower rod, offering convenient access to hang a variety of items - from towels and robes, to loofahs and shaving kits. 5. When it comes to decking the walls in the kitchen or bath, there’s no need for expensive art. Try adding your personal touch with framed photos of family or friends to share experiences or keep memories alive. 6. Looking for storage? Need a place to keep your Merlot or champagne? Wine racks are the perfect answer. But they can even be functional in the bath. Choose a rack in a finish to match the rest of your bath accessories and fill it with rolled hand towels and washcloths. 7. Turn a boring, plain bathroom mirror into a work of art by adding Mirrorscapes Mirror Frames. Mirrorscapes transform plate-glass mirrors into style statements in a matter of minutes. Available in a variety of styles, these easy-to-install frames create a

custom-de-

8. While style is always a concern, bathroom safety should be, too. In the bath, add grab bars or hand grips. Moen Home Care offers a variety of products such as SecureMount Grab Bars or Hand Grips that are stylish - available in many designs and finishes - and easy to install. In the kitchen, make sure your smoke detectors are working properly and keep a fire extinguisher under the sink for easy access. With a few simple updates, your kitchen and bath will be more enjoyable, safe and stylish for both you and your house guests. For more information about Moen products, visit www.moen.com.
