Gerald Knox keeps his eyes on the road.

Latest language in bill would keep Fibrant alive BY EMILY FORD Mayor Susan Kluttz said she hasn’t decided if she will stop fighting a proposed law that would restrict the ability of cities to get into the broadband business. House Bill 129, or “Level Playing Field/Local Government Competition,” is being rewritten to exempt Salisbury and a handful of other North Carolina cities that already run municipal broadband networks. “Other legislators have asked if I will be quiet if we are exempt,” Kluttz said. “I have not made any promises.”

Salisbury launched Fibrant last year after borrowing $30 million. The city did not need voter approval, an option the proposed law would ban for other cities.

Unemployment rate up even as more jobs added RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina employers added about 4,500 new workers to payrolls in January, but overall the state is still struggling with a persistently sluggish job market shown in a marginal uptick for the jobless rate, according to figures released Thursday by the Employment Security Commission. Despite the gain in jobs, the unemployment rate for January crept up to 9.9 percent from 9.8 percent in December, as the number of people without jobs and actively looking for work grew by 3,374 to 440,622. The state jobless rate remains higher than the national figure, which stood at 9.0 percent in January. Last November was the only month since March 2008 that the state jobless rate has been lower than the national figure. Commission Chairman Lynn Holmes said the gain of 4,500 jobs is an encourag-

Some question account of incident that led to deputy shooting dog BY SHAVONNE POTTS
Mayor may fight on for others in broadband effort eford@salisburypost.com
RALEIGH (AP) — Republican lawmakers who resolved to eliminate $1.3 billion in temporary taxes are now considering some sober options to reduce education spending in next year’s state budget, such as cutting thousands of teachers and their assistants. A joint House-Senate education budget subcommittee spent much of this week looking at what it might take to cut $760 million more out of the $11.2 billion dedicated to education in Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue’s budget proposal. Among the options are cutting state spending for several thousand teacher positions or eliminating state dollars for some or all teacher assistant positions. There’s talk of raising community college tuition by 10 percent or eliminating or consolidating the More at Four preschool initiative into other early childhood programs. All these ideas combined could save hundreds of millions of dollars. No decisions have yet been made about whether some or any of these options will be proposed formally when the first edition of the state’s spending plan is introduced in mid-April in the House. “What that gives us is a discussion point.

that we will have to be assured by our attorney that we will not be harmed, or we will not accept it,” she said. Kluttz was re-elected this month as vice chairwoman for the N.C.

CHINA GROVE — Marie Lowery recently lost a member of her family: Buddy, the 87-year-old’s Newfoundland-Labrador mix, who was shot by a sheriff’s deputy. Billy Basinger, a Rowan County Sheriff’s deputy, was searching for a suspect thought to have been involved in a break-in. His K-9, Luke, also was there. An incident report said Buddy, a 100-pound dog, growled and lunged for Basinger’s K-9. The deputy shot Buddy multiple times. Melvin Sherrill, who helped his aunt, Marie, take care of Buddy, disagrees with the deputy’s accounts of the incident.

Melvin said he and some friends were drinking outdoors in front of his Harry Street home when two China Grove Police Officers that he knew came by, spoke and petted Buddy, who was friendly toward them. Not longer after, he said Basinger approached with his K-9 and said they were looking for a woman suspected of stealing a television. The deputy had a flashlight and walked across Sherrill’s driveway and into the woods with Luke. It was dark, Sherrill recalled, about 9:30 p.m. or 10 p.m. and the officer came out of the woods shining the flashlight. It was that light that attracted Buddy, Sherrill said. He said Buddy didn’t even notice

Judge: SBI, prosecutors left out evidence in murder case RALEIGH — A judge said Thursday that North Carolina prosecutors hid evidence — and the State Bureau of Investigation intentionally omitted evidence — about blood tests in the case of a man who was threatened with the death penalty, then sentenced to prison for the death and sexual assault of his girlfriend’s daughter. Prosecutors in the case of Derrick Allen “knew that some information they inten-

The next moment, Buddy was dead. “I’m calling him and then pow. He shot my dog,” Sherrill said. Sherrill tried to approach, but the deputy told him if he did, he’d be arrested. He said Buddy didn’t lunge for the officer or the other dog. “I did not see that at all,” Sherrill said. He said Buddy may have growled, but that was it. “Everybody in this community knows Buddy. He’s been neutered. He does not roam. He is not a vicious dog,” Sherrill said. He called Buddy a 105-

missed murder and assault charges against Allen, who was serving a prison sentence for the 1998 death of his thengirlfriend’s 2-year-old daughter. Prosecutors have filed notice of appeal, but Hudson said Thursday that it’s no longer possible for Allen to get a fair trial. The judge identified Freda Black, a former assistant district attorney, and Tracey Cline, a former ADA and now district attorney, as those who intentionally hid evidence. Cline didn’t immediately return a phone call to her office,
and Black didn’t respond to either a phone or e-mail message from the Associated Press. Black told The News & Observer that she has “never lied to a court or misstated evidence to a court in my life.” Allen’s attorney, Lisa Williams of Durham, didn’t return a call. In addition, Hudson said SBI agent Jennifer Elwell told Black in August 1998 that tests failed to indicate the presence of blood on the victim’s panties and sleepwear. The two “decided to stop fur-

Sherrill said he also takes issue with a department report that said his daughter told law enforcement Buddy had a problem with German shepherds. “My daughter wasn’t even here,” Sherrill said. The 13-year-old was on a field trip in Tennessee at the time of the incident. Sherrill said he wants something to be done, he’s just not sure what. He’d like a formal apology from Basinger. “I don’t know. I just want people to know to protect your animals — protect them from the protectors,” Sherrill said. He said his family has tried to file a complaint with the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, but have not been successful.
His wife, Paula, has attempted to make inquiries, but “every time she calls, she’s put on hold,” he said. Sherrill said Buddy would either spend time at his house, sometimes outdoors or at his aunt’s home. Marie Lowery’s brother, Joseph Luckey, said his sister is still upset over the death of her dog. “She has not been eating,” he said. Luckey said the China Grove officers knew Buddy, and if they believed he was vicious, they would have asked that he be put up. Luckey was in his bedroom when he heard Buddy growl — then he heard a gunshot.

Livingstone celebrates success in CIAA tournament BY LAURIE D. WILLIS Livingstone College News Service
The atmosphere was electric in Varick Auditorium Wednesday as Salisbury Mayor Susan W. Kluttz was on hand for a celebration honoring Livingstone College’s men’s basketball team for its historic performance at last week’s CIAA Tournament. The Blue Bears made it to the championship game of the CIAA Tournament for the first time in school history after pulling off three consecutive victories against St. Paul’s College, Virginia
Union University and Fayetteville State University. Livingstone was defeated by Shaw University 7269 in the final game, but on Wednesday that hardly mattered to administrators, faculty, students and staff. The pep band played, the cheerleaders cheered and numerous times throughout the 90-minute assembly the audience was on its feet showering the men’s basketball team and its coaches with much-deserved applause. But the men’s basketball team wasn’t all Livingstone officials celebrated on Wednesday, as the Blue
Bears women’s team and a few individual students were also recognized for their accomplishments. “This is a day of celebration,” Livingstone College President Dr. Jimmy R. Jenkins Sr. said as the festivities began. “I’m reminded of the part in the Bible where Jesus healed the 10 lepers. After they were healed they ran off in different directions … and only one came back to say thank you. We wanted to be like that one leper that came back to say thank you.”

Community group to discuss immigration BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

salisbury high principal dr. Windsor eagle goes over plans for an addition at salisbury high school, pointing out where the new restrooms will be.
More restrooms, new exercise room coming to Salisbury High B Y S ARAH C AMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
Construction on an addition to the Salisbury High School gymnasium is expected to begin soon. The Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education recently approved the more than $397,000 project, 66 percent of which will be funded through grants from the Robertson Family Foundation and donations. The remaining dollars will come from the school system’s capital project fund. “I am very proud of the community support we receive not only for athletics, but for academics as well,” Salisbury Principal Dr. Windsor Eagle said. Eagle has rolled over about $20,000 in matching funds for capital improvement projects since 2008. “Dr. Eagle has been working on this for years,” Gene Miller, assistant superintendent for operations, said. “It’s a project he obviously wants to get done.” Eagle said he’s been raising money to add restroom facilities to the school’s gymnasium since the school’s softball field was completed in 2008. He’s helped collect $75,000 through selling bricks for the field house project and received about $8,000 in donations. Those funds will go toward this project and be siphoned back as more money is raised. “This is just phase one of a multi-phase project,” Eagle said. Eagle hopes to eventually expand the gym lobby, which is he says can get pretty tight with both admissions and concessions being run out of the space.
The Covenant Community Connection doesn’t shy away from discussing controversial issues, including immigration. The organization will offer a public forum on immigration reform at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Meet Your Neighbor event, held at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College. Dr. Mark Sills, director of Faith Action International House in Greensboro, will speak, and audience members will have a chance to interact with him and each other. “We know how volatile this issue can be,” said Mark Ritchie, a Covenant Community Connection member who will facilitate the forum. “We are not trying to make any political statement.” The purpose of the forum, Ritchie said, is to foster a caring environment for all who live here. “We know there are people in our community who have immigrated, and not all legally,” he said. “We are just trying to build a sense of community that is caring for everyone.” The Covenant Community Connection will not advocate for a certain political position on immigration, Ritchie said. The group chose immigration as a topic for the forum to help clear up misinformation surrounding the issue, he said. “Giving a more correct perspective can always lead to better understanding,” he said. A subgroup of the Salisbury Rowan Human Relations Council, the Covenant Community Connection offers two public forums each year, one in the spring and another in the fall. Tuesday’s event will take place in the RCCC teaching auditorium. Attendees should park in the lot nearest to I-85 and look for signs. Contact reporter Emily Ford at 704-797-4264.
Nurse charged with stealing patient’s pills during basketball games, male spectators have to go down a flight of stairs to get to the men’s restroom, which is located in the basement. Construction on a new exercise room and restroom facility will begin at the school soon. “We max out at 902 gym seats so it can be terrible as far as crowds trying to use our facilties,” he said. • • • The new facility will have a 600 square-foot exercise room, which will house $52,000 worth of fitness equipment. The equipment, including five treadmills, five ellipticals, three upright cycles, two recumbent bikes, two fluid runners and two weight benches with sets of free weights, has been purchased using funds from the federal Carol M. White Physical Education Program (PEP) grant. Eagle said the equipment has already been ordered, but right now there is no designated space for it. The facility will include both
male and female bathrooms. The female restroom will have six stalls, while the male bathroom will have two stalls and four urinals. Each bathroom will also include a handicap stall. A unisex bathroom is also being built to meet the needs of parents with opposite sex children. Right now, the men’s restroom on the main level only has a couple of stalls, which means basketball, volleyball and wrestling spectators oftentimes have to venture to the basement bathroom. “It’s a nightmare to have people traveling up and down those stairs,” Miller said. “This project will take care of that safety issue, aesthetic

A home health nurse was arrested on a misdemeanor larceny charge Tuesday in connection with a patient’s report of missing pills, authorities said. Taylor C. Vuncannon, of 101 Brookshire Drive in Salisbury, was working as a home health nurse with Bayada Nurses while assisting Carol Chavis, of Tanner Road in Richfield, for about a year. On Dec. 28, Chavis reported to the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office that 45 Xanax tablets and 24 hydrocodone pills were missing. She told authorities VunVUNCANNON cannon was the only one left unattended with the ability to take them. Investigators questioned Vuncannon at the time but did not immediately charge her. She was arrested Tuesday at the magistrate’s office after a follow-up investigation found probable cause, Sheriff’s Office Lt. John Sifford said.

Granite Quarry plans events, welcomes new police officer BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com
GRANITE QUARRY — Several spring events are being planned in Granite Quarry: • The annual Easter Egg Hunt will be held April 17 at Civic Park. • “Plants in the Park” will be held April 30 at Granite Lake Park. • The town will make dumpsters available on South Main Street for the Spring Cleanup May 12-14. • A “Fish for Fun” will be held June 4 at Granite Lake Park. At the Board of Aldermen’s meeting Monday night, Mayor Mary Ponds recognized Greg Philpot, recently elected chairman of the Parks, Events & Recreation Commission.
Ponds said Philpot is “very impressed” with suggestions from the newly established commission, which represents a merger of the Parks and Recreation Committee with the Community Projects and Events Committee. Police Chief Mark Cook introduced part-time Officer Brian Jackson to the board. Town Manager Dan Peters reported that HorsePower Site Solutions of Charlotte, which received a $279,021 contract in February for the Brookwood Drive culvert, is proceeding with its work and should be completed within 120 to 150 days. The culvert is located in the Woodbrook subdivision. The town’s engineering firm, Alley, Williams, Carmen & King, billed the town for mapping in relation to the U.S. Army Corps of Engi-

Fundraiser to benefit firefighter who has cancer The Rowan County Fire and Rescue Association will host a barbecue-chicken fundraiser and silent auction March 19 to benefit a firefighter and first responder who faces surgery to remove a tumor later this month. Chad Earnhardt, 31, is an assistant chief with the Gold Hill Fire Department and assistant supervisor with Rowan County 911 who also volunteers his time with the Rowan County Rescue Squad. Last year, Earnhardt was diagnosed with a rare Sarcoma Cancer. “Even though Chad was going through regular surgeries and chemotherapy, he never missed one day of work until this past December when he had to go into the hospital for an extended stay,” Deborah Horne, a county fire inspector and in-
vestigator, wrote in a press release. He missed Christmas at home but was able to make it out of the hospital for the birth of his first child, Breanna Elizabeth, on Jan. 24. He stayed in the room with his wife Kristie in side-byside beds. Earnhardt is now home but will have more surgery March 23. Doctors are confident they will be able to remove Earnhardt’s tumor and with more chemotherapy he will make a full recovery, the press release said. “Chad has always been the first to step up and help anyone in need,” Horne wrote. “I know that Chad never realized that he may need a little help one day and that is why we are putting together this fundraiser.” The fundraiser will be held at the Rowan County
Rescue Squad, 1140 Julian Road. Tickets are being sold in advance and must be purchased by Monday. Tickets are $9 apiece and include a barbecued half-chicken, beans, slaw, roll, dessert and drink. The food is available for dining in or takeout and 10 or more plates purchased for the same location can be delivered. A silent auction will be held with many items donated by area businesses. For more information or to buy a ticket, drop by the Rowan County Rescue Squad on Julian Road or contact Randy Earnhardt, chief of the Gold Hill Fire Department, at 704-239-3819; Bonnie Cress, Rockwell Rural Fire Department, at 704-2395569; or Deborah Horne, Rowan County Emergency Services, 704-239-3053.

‘For the Love of Money’ to be performed at Livingstone BY LAURIE D. WILLIS Special to The Post
Fred Forte Jr. is the son of a preacher. He loves God and writing and producing plays. Forte’s newest play, “For the Love of Money,” will be performed at 6 p.m. Saturday in Varick Auditorium on the Livingstone College campus. Admission is $10 and tickets will be sold at the door. “In today’s trying times it seems people are realizing more and more the importance of having a strong spiritual base in their lives,” Forte said. “I’m a preacher’s kid, so God has always been central in my life. I grew up in the church and absolutely love writing, directing and acting, so the fact that I’m now producing gospel plays is apropos.” “For the Love of Money” is about real estate agent George Burrell’s
rise to fame and fortune — and eventual fall from grace. It is the third play Forte has written since founding ForteJr Productions in 2009. “This play exposes the audience to a man who experiences what many consider a good life,” Forte said. “He’s successful, makes good money, lives in a big house and drives a luxury car. But as the play progresses you see how Burrell strays from God and how his life takes a turn for worse as a consequence. I think most people, no matter their circumstance or their relationship with God, will be able to glean something from this play that will benefit and enhance their lives. The play will make people laugh at times, but it will also make them cry. But I really believe audience members will leave with a life-changing message.” Ashley Blaire, an eighth-grader
at Knox Middle School in Salisbury, portrays Burrell’s teenage daughter in the play. Ashley is the daughter of Paul and Gloria Blaire of Salisbury. Her mother is chief of police at Livingstone College. “She’s playing the role of a 17-yearold, but she’s only 13 so she’s had to make some mental adjustments to adequately play that part,” Gloria Blaire said. BLAIRE “I was concerned about her playing the part of a 17-year-old at first, and so was her father, but we have watched her performance in the play and more importantly have seen how she acts otherwise, and it has not had a negative impact on her. In fact, a large part of her role is to spiritual-
ly encourage others, and we knew she could handle that because she has been saved since she was only 5 years old, and God comes first in our house.” The play was performed at North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro just before Christmas; however, students were away on break so Forte wasn’t able to collaborate with them as he would have liked. He’s excited because several Livingstone College students will either perform on stage or work behind the scenes to make this Saturday’s show a success. “We’re working in conjunction with Livingstone’s theater department and have been very impressed with the talent many of the students possess,” Forte said. “I’m thankful we were able to bring our play to Livingstone College, and I hope this
is only the beginning of a long, rewarding partnership with the college. I also hope people in Mecklenburg, Iredell and other surrounding counties will come out to support the play. Taking about two hours to watch ‘For the Love of Money’ is a good, inexpensive way to spend a Saturday night.” On March 26, the play is being performed at 6 p.m. in Pease Auditorium at Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte. The play has already had one run at Pease Auditorium, Forte said. “Right now we’re sort of doing the college circuit, but we’re amenable to performing the play at most any venue,” Forte said. “We’re particularly interested in performing it at as many HBCUs as we can. We would love to perform it at Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, for example.”
Council works with Center for the Environment on no-idling effort Improving local air quality by reducing the time motorists spend idling is this year’s goal for the Cabarrus Sustainability Council. Chairwoman Dakeita Vanderburg-Johnson says members first considered improving overall air quality as its annual project, but decided the subject was just too broad. When they found out about the no-idling efforts under way by the Center for the Environment’s Campaign for Clean Air, she says, “it was easier to wrap our arms around that.” Shelia Armstrong, air quality outreach coordinator for the center, shared information on the center’s no idling program, provided written materials and trained council members who have volunteered to speak to other groups about the initiative. Vanderburg-Johnson says the goal of the council’s Clean Air Campaign is to work with schools and identify businesses where people idle their vehicles and encourage them to post free no idling signs provided by the N.C. Division of Air Quality. The signs feature a key in an ignition switch and say: “Turn Off Your Engine: Breathe Better, Save Money.” The Center for the Envi-
ronment also features a toolkit on its website for schools considering implementing a no-idling program to follow. “Personally, I had never thought that much about idling,” Vanderburg-Johnson says. But then she found out about the poor air quality in the area: The Charlotte-Gastonia-Salisbury metropolitan area — which includes Cabarrus County — has been identified as the 10th worst area in the United States by the American Lung Association. Vanderburg-Johnson says she began to think twice about sitting in a drivethrough line for a pharmacy, fast-food restaurant or bank with her vehicle running. “All of a sudden, I wanted to park and go in, or if I’m sitting in a fast-food line or a pharmacy line, I cut my car off,” she says. “I put it into use in my own life.” Vanderburg-Johnson, president of Southgate Masonry and Lumber, also posted the no idling signs outside the Concord building supply business. For years, she says drivers of the business’ 10 large, diesel trucks would idle, particularly in cold weather and even in warmer temperatures. The mechanic at Southgate Masonry and Lumber
told the drivers it’s OK to idle the diesel trucks for up to three minutes. After that, she says, he told them to turn off their trucks. “I didn’t get any flak from my drivers,” she says. “I thought I would.” In addition to improving air quality, Vanderburg-Johnson says the policy of no idling for more than three minutes saves the business money on fuel and decreases the overall engine wear on trucks. Vanderburg-Johnson also had signs posted in front of her office and the warehouse asking customers not to idle. “Sometimes if they just see them, it makes them think,” she says. Samantha Moose, who represents the Cabarrus Economic Development Corp. on the council, estimates about 25 no idling signs provided by the Center for the Environment have been posted throughout the county so far as part of the project. Moose says seven council members have received training to speak to various organizations to spur more interest in the idling reduction project. “We have asked them to speak to at least three-tofive groups over the next couple of months,” she says.
Survey shows concern When speaking to community groups, the Cabarrus Sustainability council members will show a PowerPoint presentation the Center developed. It includes information from Dana Chaney’s business communications class at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College. After talking with Armstrong, Chaney decided to conduct a survey of staff and students to pinpoint their impressions on air quality and determine what would change their behavior on idling vehicles. “We had to get this out the week before Thanksgiving,” Chaney says. “I think the title of the email was ‘Are you thankful for air quality?’ because it was in that time frame.” Within five minutes of sending out the mass email, Chaney says she started receiving phone calls from Rowan-Cabarrus faculty and staff asking questions about it. Even with people going out of town for the holiday, 197 completed the survey. “So we were thrilled,” she says. Eighty percent of the respondents said saving money is what would motivate them to stop idling, and more
Deputies arrest four in Corriher Gravel Road drug raid
WEST
SEWELL
MURPHY
THOMPSON
Four people were arrested Wednesday in a drug raid near China Grove by the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office. According to the Sheriff’s Office, deputies received information in February that Shawn Jamell West, 24, of 483 Jackson Road, Salisbury, was involved in the sale of marijuana and that many of his customers were teenagers. The Sheriff’s Office investigated and reportedly confirmed that West was selling marijuana from a house at 620 Corriher Gravel Road near China Grove.
GAME FROM 3a Student Government Association President Patrice Evans-Saunders, a senior criminal justice major from New York, encouraged her colleagues to build on last week’s momentum by “getting back into your studies,” fitting because students are taking midterm exams this week. She also reminded them of the oft-quoted adage “To whom much is given, much is required.” Miss Livingstone College, Cassaundra La’Joyce Rhodes, a senior biology major from Charlotte and also a starter on the Blue Bears women’s squad, said a St. Augustine’s College alum told her last week that she was rooting for Livingstone to go all the way. Rhodes also said an Elizabeth City State University alum told her he loved the spirit exhibited by students, faculty, staff, alumni and fans of Livingstone College at the CIAA Tournament, held in Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte. “Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is a process and working together is success,” Rhodes said as she quoted Ford Motor Co. Founder Henry Ford before sitting down. After Rhodes’ remarks, Jenkins asked the pep band and cheerleaders to perform. And just as they do at Livingstone College home games, students chimed in with the cheerleaders during their chants. Besides making the finals of the
Detectives obtained a search warrant for the house and served it Wednesday. During the raid, detectives found several people inside the house and about 1 pound of high-grade marijuana. The marijuana was packaged for sale in plastic bags and stored in glass jars, the Sheriff’s Office reported. Detectives also seized about $1,800 in cash. Four people were arrested and charged with felony possession with the intent to sell and deliver marijuana, felony conspiracy to sell and deliver marijuana and
CIAA Tournament for the first time, the men’s basketball team was also awarded by CIAA officials for having the highest GPA, 2.89, among the 13 CIAA schools. “The fact that our men’s team managed to pull off a winning season while also maintaining the highest grade point average among all the CIAA schools shows that at Livingstone College we understand the term is student-athletes, not athletestudents,” said Dr. Leroy Simmons, vice president of academic affairs. “Anyone who has ever played sports while attending school, be it middle school, high school or college, knows that playing sports and keeping up your grades isn’t easy. But our men’s program, led by head coach James Stinson Jr. and assistant coach Anthony Holliday, has done just that, and they are certainly to be commended.” Senior forward Darius Cox of Monroe was named MVP of the championship game, even though the Blue Bears fell short, and he was also named to the All CIAA Tournament Team. He was joined on the All CIAA Tournament Team by teammate Greg Henry, a junior forward from Atlanta. In addition, Stinson was named CIAA Coach of the Year. The team’s 17-12 record is the best in school history, tying Stinson’s first season as head coach. On Wednesday, Kluttz read aloud a proclamation naming March 9, 2011, “Livingstone College Men’s Basketball Day” in the city of Salisbury. Kluttz learned about the men’s
misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. Placed under arrest were West; Justin Robert Murphy, 20, of 217 Janis Lane, Granite Quarry; Derrick Lee Sewell, 18, of 3315 Mt. Hope Church Road, Salisbury; and Ashley Marie Thompson, 19, of 620 Corriher Gravel Road, China Grove. West, Sewell and Thompson were each placed in the Rowan County Detention Center under a $25,000 bond. Murphy was placed in the Detention Center under a $30,000 bond.
team’s accomplishments earlier this week. “All I can say is wow,” Kluttz said as she stepped to the podium “On behalf of the city of Salisbury, you have made us proud. When Dr. Jenkins told me you were going to be celebrating today, I said, ‘Well, I need to be there, too.’ We are so proud to be here. It’s not just how far the team went; it’s (also) having the highest GPA. That’s incredible. I think the holistic college approach at this college and what you have accomplished is incredible.” Just before reading the proclamation, Kluttz exclaimed: “I don’t know that I’ve ever read a more impressive proclamation in my 14 years as mayor.” The Blue Bears women’s team also was recognized on Wednesday because last week CIAA Tournament officials honored them with the 2011 John B. McClendon Award for Sportsmanship, named after an icon in black college basketball who coached at former CIAA member institution North Carolina Central University, other HBCUs, in the NBA and is a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame. Senior Brittany Wright was also singled out on Wednesday because she was named CIAA Player of the Week last week. Wright also was previously named to the All Conference CIAA Team and scored her 1,000th point during a Livingstone College home game. Freshman Tiffany Evans was applauded Wednesday for being named CIAA Freshman of the Week at the tournament.
than 70 percent said a noidling sign would influence them to stop idling. When asked who or what would influence them not to idle their vehicles and instructed to check all that applied, 61.5 percent of the respondents said their mechanic. Other responses and percentages were as follows: air quality organization, 49.1 percent; doctors, 37.9 percent; State Department of Ecology, 32.5 percent; and media, 30.8 percent. The survey results showed that 53.3 percent of the respondents were “very concerned” about air quality while 38.1 percent were “somewhat concerned” and 8.1 percent, “not at all.” Two percent said they didn’t know. The overwhelming majority of respondents said they realized that idling contributes to overall air quality problems.
Mechanic backs effort As part of their survey, Chaney’s students interviewed four business people representing different careers, including mechanic Danny Williams Jr., who owns Jr’s Auto & Truck Repair in Salisbury. Williams says he totally agreed with the students that
emissions from idling are not only harmful to the environment, but to people breathing the air. When it comes to parents who wait in line to drop off and pick up their children at schools and day cares, Williams says he has observed as many as 70 percent idling their vehicles, particularly in cold temperatures. He says he told the RCCC students that turning vehicles off for a few minutes in a line is not long enough to affect the heat in the vehicles. When asked if he would post a no-idling sign at his garage, Williams says he told them he would. After the interview, he says he noticed that South Rowan Academy in China Grove, where his son goes to day care and preschool, had no-idling signs posted. “I was really glad to see that,” he says. Vanderburg-Johnson says the council is hoping to have 50 to 75 no idling signs posted in Cabarrus County by fall. “That’s really our goal for the year,” she says. “I think people are really hungry for knowledge,” she says. “They want to understand how they can spend their dollars wisely and be green and not be taken in by advertising.”
Local troopers to graduate from patrol school The North Carolina State Highway Patrol will have its 127th Basic Patrol School graduation today at 10 a.m. The graduation ends 29 weeks of academic and physical training for 38 cadets. These are the new troopers in the area: • Austin W. Beck of Pilot Mountain, assigned to Davidson County. • Jeffery L. Dunlap of Asheville, assigned to Iredell County. • Stephen B. Marshall of Pinnacle, assigned to Rowan County. • Brandon S. Roberts of Davidson, assigned to Rowan
Senior Chelson Perry of Williamston was called to the stage by Jenkins for the way he rallied students to flock to Time Warner Cable Arena to support the Blue Bears. And freshman Stephen Graddick IV of Charlotte receive a huge round of applause for beating out more than 200 entrants and winning the Toyota Green Initiative Contest, which sought to find the CIAA student who devised the most innovative plan to make his or her college greener. Graddick devised a creative environmental plan to host a Green Awareness Week to improve sustainability at Livingstone College. He created a green “drop zone” where people could discard batteries, paper, plastic bottles and other items. Contestants were judged on effectiveness, which counted 50 percent, and creativity and voting, which counted 25 percent each. Final tallies were close between Graddick and a female student from Bowie State University, but officials say school support — Graddick marketed his drop zone with a video created by student members of Livingstone College’s Media Team — helped garner him the win. “The Toyota Green Initiative is a powerful social awareness campaign that provides our future leaders with the resources and tools to create a valuable environmental impact,” said Jim Colon, vice president of Toyota product communications for Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. “The rich partnership with the CIAA is representative of shared values, and has afforded Toyota the

opportunity to continue the conversation on sustainable living.” As one of four finalists, Graddick won $500 for personal use and another $500 to use toward his project. For winning the grand prize, Graddick gets to drive a third-generation Toyota Prius for a year. Also, because Graddick won, Livingstone College will receive a tree park to be paid for by Toyota, and Toyota officials will eventually come to the college for a ceremony. Elizabeth City Mayor Roger A. McLean, who is an internal auditor at Livingstone, also honored the men’s team with a Mayoral Certificate of Recognition as the ceremony came to a close. “Livingstone College took Charlotte by storm,” a jubilant Jenkins said in his final remarks Wednesday. “Our men’s basketball team, our women’s basketball team and other students helped put Livingstone College on the map. There were more than 102,000 tickets sold for the games, more than 1 million viewers watched the CIAA Tournament on television and the performance of our team brought Livingstone alumni out of the woodwork. “All of a sudden these beautiful black and blue colors showed up everywhere, all over Charlotte, and people were talking about the coolness of our team and how they kept their composure in games even when they were down,” Jenkins continued. “Our men’s team was projected to finish last in the regular season in the CIAA and not to get past the first round of the tournament. Well, look at us now.”

N AT I O N / C O N T I N U E D
FROM 1a and Wilson with fiber-to-the-home networks and Mooresville, Davidson, Morganton and Fayetteville with other types of broadband. “It is our intent to carve out these cities and hold them harmless,” co-sponsor N.C. Rep. Julia Howard (R-Davie) said before the bill passed the Public Utilities Committee last week. Howard serves as chairwoman of the Finance Committee, the bill’s next stop on Tuesday or Wednesday. Salisbury officials have met with legislators repeatedly to defend Fibrant, which competes with Time Warner Cable and other companies to provide Internet, phone and cable TV service. A stakeholders meeting March 4 lasted most of the day. “We came out extremely relieved that the area we serve will be protected,” Kluttz said. “As far as Salisbury and our surrounding area, we’re safe.” Salisbury will be able to expand Fibrant beyond the city limits, she said. This marks the fourth time the cable industry has backed a bill introducing new rules and regulations for municipal broadband. Three previous attempts have failed. Cities that choose to compete against private business should be subject to the same rules, said Marcus Trathen, a lawyer for the N.C. Cable Telecommunications Association. The legislation has 46 sponsors, including Republicans and Democratic leaders, Trathen said. “There is broad, bipartisan support for this bill,” he said in an email to the Post. “The bill is good, solid public policy, and I am certainly hopeful that it will pass this session.” When cities compete against private businesses, the state needs to ensure the competition is fair and the city, which regulates private industry, doesn’t discriminate, Trathen said. North Carolina is out of step with 26 other
states by not fixing this “gaping hole,” he said. Trathen acknowledged sponsors “are very interested in ensuring that the bill does not harm the investment that Salisbury has made.” Changing the rules now, after Salisbury borrowed $30 million, wouldn’t be fair, Kluttz said. Vance Holloman, deputy treasurer for the State and Local Government Finance Division of the N.C. Department of State Treasurer, warned that as originally written, the bill would compromise the ability of cities to repay their debt. “We recommend that the local units that have outstanding debt for cable TV systems be exempted from the entire bill,” Holloman wrote in an e-mail to a researcher for the General Assembly. Private and public sectors get into broadband for different reasons, Kluttz said. “Their bottom line is money, and that’s fine, that’s their purpose,” she said. “Our purpose is public service. Our purpose is to give our citizens a service that we think they deserve.” Salisbury built Fibrant after cable companies refused to partner with the city or upgrade technology to provide high-speed Internet to everyone in the city, she said. Salisbury needs broadband for education, economic development and public safety, she said. If cities will compete with private companies, the state needs a standardized system of competition, said N.C. Rep. Marylin Avila (R-Wake), co-sponsor of the bill. Residents should vote before a city incurs such a large financial responsibility, Avila said. In her study of municipal broadband systems, she said cities invariably must use general funds to support the network. “When people give you their hard-earned tax dollars, I would prefer they had a say-so,” Avila said. Financial problems with the MI-Connection Communications System, a broadband network owned by Mooresville and Davidson, are well-documented, Avila
said. “And I have questions about how successful Wilson’s program is, and Salisbury is too young to tell,” she said. Nationwide, the country has a history of municipal broadband systems that end up hurting taxpayers, Avila said. Cities are in debt for so long, they sometimes must limit other municipal services like public safety or water and sewer, she said. Christopher Mitchell disagrees. The private sector has suffered far more bankruptcies and reorganizations than community networks, said Mitchell, director of the Telecommunications as Commons Initiative for the Institute for Local Self-Reliance. Of the 60 to 70 municipal broadband networks in the country, only five have had problems, he said. “And most of those were hobbled by state laws like this one,” Mitchell said. While some argue that cities can’t keep up with private industry, Salisbury and Wilson have the most technologically advanced networks in the state, he said. “Private sector companies are doing a poor job with technology,” he said. N.C. Rep. Harry Warren (RRowan) said he hasn’t made up his mind yet about House Bill 129, which he voted against in the Public Utilities Committee. While he’s pleased that Salisbury will be exempted, part of the bill still bothers him, Warren said. If cities and private companies are to compete fairly, the law should not limit the city’s jurisdictional boundaries, he said. Rural areas of the state need access to high-speed broadband, but if it’s left up to the cable companies, Warren said, “broadband won’t reach all areas until it’s profitable for the private sector to take it there.” Warren compared the need for broadband now to the need for electricity in the 1920s and ’30s, when local governments formed electric co-ops because private companies wouldn’t wire rural America.

Teen leaps from Golden Gate Bridge, survives SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A California high school student visiting the Golden Gate Bridge on a Thursday morning field trip climbed over a railing, jumped — possibly on a dare by fellow classmates — and somehow survived the 220-foot plunge into San Francisco Bay that kills dozens of people each year. Most jumpers die a grisly death, with massive internal injuries, broken bones and skull fractures. Some die from internal bleeding, while others drown. But the 17-year-old lived, suffering just a broken tailbone and torn lung. He was rescued by a surfer who paddled over and took him ashore, California Highway Patrol Officer Chris Rardin said. “It’s a miracle in itself,” Rardin said. “The majority of folks do not survive this type of fall.” Windsor Unified School District Superintendent Bill McDermott said he didn’t think the teen was trying to commit suicide, but instead jumped after other students from Windsor High School in Sonoma County urged him on. Students saw the teen go over the railing. An ambulance rushed the teen to a San Francisco hospital. Officials couldn’t provide further details Thursday night on his condition. Last year, 32 jumpers died. About 98 percent of those plunges end up being fatal and authorities rule most of those suicides. The Marin County Coroner’s Office and the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District have said up to 1,500 people have died after jumping off the bridge since it opened in 1937.
Judge offers Lindsay Lohan a deal LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge on Thursday gave Lindsay Lohan two weeks to consider an undisclosed deal to end a felony grand theft case before an upcoming hearing that could send the starlet to jail for the fourth time. Superior Court Judge Keith Schwartz told the “Mean Girls” star he had told her attorney and a prosecutor how he would likely sentence her if she agreed to plead guilty or no contest in the case, but said he would keep terms confidential. The theft case is now bound for an April 22 hearing to decide if there is enough evidence for Lohan to stand trial.

4-H team wins first in horse bowl R owan County 4-H’s Junior Team placed first in the West Central District 4-H Horse Bowl Contest, which qualified them for state level competition. Two teams from each of the six Cooperative Extension districts gathered at North Carolina A&T State University on March 5 SARA for the North DRAKE Carolina 4-H Horse Quiz Bowl and Hippology Contests. Rowan County won the junior level competition. The team, coached by Dr. Ann Furr, consisted of members Hannah Barringer, Luke Barringer, Erin Christner, Micah Furr and Noah Reid. Furr was reserve high point individual in the horse bowl competition and Christner placed sixth in individual high point honors. This contest allows 4-H members to use their knowledge of horses and related subject matter to
compete on a four-member team. They display their knowledge in a competitive and friendly atmosphere. Teams are divided according to age into three categories: junior, mixed, with both junior and senior members, and senior. To qualify to attend district level quiz bowl competition, each team must compose and submit 35 questions. The questions must be obtained from resources on an approved reference list for quiz bowl and must include the reference book and page number for each question. Each question must contain a key word that describes the question. Questions submitted can be about the N.C. 4-H program, evolution and zoological scheme, equine reproduction, equine genetics, light horse breeds, pony breeds, horse markings, skeletal system, teeth, showmanship and halter, and conformation. They can also include fitting and grooming of horses, gaits of the horse, training, external parts of the horse, safety, diseases, housing and environment, tack and more. The North Carolina 4-H
Around the State
Hippology Contest was also held that day. Hippology means the study of the horse. In this contest, youth blend their knowledge and skills acquired in horse judging, quiz bowl, public speaking, presentations and showing to answers questions during a two-hour written exam. Participating in this contest allows youth to compete for the Junior and Senior Horseman of the Year Awards. Rowan County placed third overall in the contest and Christner and Furr were in the top 10 individuals in the contest. To prepare for the quiz bowl and hippology contests, youth spend hours of studying on their own as well as practicing as a whole group. All youth on the Rowan County 4-H Junior team are members of the East Equine Explorers 4-H Club. The club organized in May 2009 and is under the leadership of Ann Furr, with assistance from many parents and local businesses.
NC House agrees unanimously to raise DWI penalties RALEIGH (AP) — An effort to toughen North Carolina’s drunken-driving laws following the death of a Gaston County teenager has received unanimous approval in the state House. “Laura’s Law” was given tentative approval Thursday. The bill would require an impaired-driving offender to face more jail time, higher fines and electronic monitoring at home. A final House vote is needed next week before it goes to the Senate. The driver who struck and killed Laura Fortenberry pleaded guilty this week to second-degree murder and other crimes and was sentenced to more than 20 years in prison. The driver had multiple DWI convictions. The bill requires a DWI offender to receive a one- to three-year prison sentence if there are three grossly aggravating factors. There’s also minimum imprisonment time, even with a suspended sentence.

8K proceeds go to Rowan Helping Ministries A check for the proceeds from the 2011 Winter Flight 8K Road Race was presented to representatives of Rowan Helping Ministries on Tuesday at the agency’s office. David Abernathy, treasurer of the Salisbury Rowan Runners, made the presentation to Kyna Foster, executive director and Cam Campbell, director of resource development and community relations. The check was for $6,000. The Salisbury Rowan Runners have donated to Rowan Helping Ministries

They provide many of the volunteers for the race, and we have a great working relationship. This is the third consecutive year that SRR has given the Winter Flight proceeds to RHM,” said Abernathy. Campbell is a member of Salisbury Rowan Runners and
was also the volunteer coordinator for the event. Major sponsors for the race were Rowan Regional Hospital, Cornerstone Church, Cheerwine, Marathon Business Center, Vac and Dash of Albemarle, Unity Presbyterian Church, Dr. James Jolly, Dr. Kathy Boyd, Pancho Villa’s Mexican Restaurant, Pinocchio’s, Civitans of Salisbury, Catawba College, the Salisbury Post, city of Salisbury, and HICAPS.
RALEIGH (AP) — A federal judge has ordered a North Carolina man to pay more than $1.6 million in restitution and penalties for defrauding investors in a foreign currency scheme. The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission said Thursday a federal judge has also barred Dennis Todd Hagemann and his company, Yellowstone Partners, Inc., from trading commodities in the future. Starting in 2009, the judge said Yellowstone Partners solicited money from at least 25 people. The government says Hagemann promised potential investors returns of up to 300 percent and falsely claimed he had connections including former Russian President Boris Yeltsin.

NC Senate again backs having more coastal jetties RALEIGH (AP) — The North Carolina Senate has again put its support behind allowing coastal regulators to approve putting hardened structures at the edge of coastal inlets to protect development along North Carolina’s barrier islands. The Senate tentatively agreed Thursday by a 35-13 vote to end a 25-year ban on building new jetties, just as they did in 2009 and 2010. After one more vote the bill goes to the House, where supporters think they’ll have more support this year with the change in leadership. The structures collect sand and block currents that might otherwise erode island edges. Sen. Harry Brown of Jacksonville says the bill has safeguards to ensure a jetty is necessary and is kept up over time. Environmentalists say jetties are too expensive and shift sand to unintended locations.
Kinston pharmaceutical plant to expand KINSTON (AP) — A Kinston plant that was rebuilt after a deadly explosion in 2003 is about to expand.

Getting the best results roses need to be pruned each spring to keep them healthy and promote bloom.
Learn to prune roses on Saturday Rowan Rose Society members will be pruning the rose bushes of the Triangle Rose Garden on West Innes Street (in front of Summersett Funeral Home) on Saturday morning beginning at 8 a.m. Anyone interested in learning how to prune rose bushes for best growth and bloom is welcome to attend, receive instructions and give it a try. Please bring gloves and pruners.

be sure to use strong, healthy transplants, like this cabbage, to start your garden.
Longer days keep people busy in their yards D
aylight saving time begins Sunday and many people will have more time to garden. With the recent rains and warm temperatures, gardeners are finding many opportunities. Below are a few gardening questions posed to Cooperative Extension. Q: Is it too late to apply DARRELL pre-emergence BLACKWELDER herbicides to lawns? A: No, but these do need to be applied soon. As the soil temperature approaches 58 degrees, crabgrass and goosegrass germinate, rendering some pre-emergence herbicides useless. There are a few preemergence herbicides that will control crabgrass in its early growth stages. Q: I have a grass that comes up every spring in my shrubs and the edge of my lawns. It is a short, bunching grass that has a lot of seed
heads. Can I put something down to kill it? A: You have Poa annua or annual bluegrass. It is a common weed that germinates in the fall and dies in early summer. There is no effective control for the weed now. Using a pre-emergence herbicide in early fall is the best method of control. Q: Is now a good time to plant cool season vegetables? A: Yes, as soon as the soil dries, plant cool season vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, beets, potatoes, onions and other cole crops. Vegetable transplants are now available at retail garden outlets. Keep an eye on the weather. These can tolerate a few days of cold, but will not survive bitter cold temperatures. Q: Is now the time to prune roses? A: Yes most rose types need to be pruned in early to mid- March. Make sure your pruners are sharp. Normally, wound dressings aren’t recommended on shrubs, with the exception of rose pruning. Use a wound dressing or Elmer’s glue to seal off the
cuts to prevent infestation of borers and other insects. Q: Is it too late to prune my grape vines? I am late and worried that it may be too late. A: You can prune your grapes now. The vines will bleed as the daytime temperatures begin to warm, but it will not be detrimental to the plant. Q: Is it too late to spray dormant oils on fruit trees? A: No, there is Annual bluegrass is a winter annual that still time to use plagues lawns and flower beds in early spring. dormant oils on fruit trees and other plant materials.

Conservation program signup starts March 14 RALEIGH — Aaron Martin, executive director of North Carolina’s USDA’s Farm Service Agency, announced Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack set general signup for the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) to begin March 14, continuing through April 15. During the signup period, farmers and ranchers may offer eligible land for CRP’s competitive general signup at their county Farm Service Agency (FSA) office. “For 25 years, the Conservation Reserve Program’s benefits have grown, due to improvements to our natural resources of cleaner water, improved air quality, better habitat for wildlife, viewing opportunities of that wildlife and a reduction in soil erosion,” said Martin. “This sign-up announcement will help the administration continue its strong conservation legacy.” Land currently not enrolled in CRP may be offered in this signup provided all eligibility requirements are met. Additionally, current CRP participants with contracts expiring this fall may make new contract offers. Contracts awarded under this signup are scheduled to become effective Oct. 1. To help ensure that interested farmers and ranchers are aware of the signup period, USDA has signed partnership agreements with several conservation and wildlife organizations that will all play an active role in USDA’s 2011 CRP outreach efforts. FSA, which administers the CRP, will evaluate and rank eligible CRP offers using an Environmental Benefits Index (EBI)

Composting classes offered in Cabarrus on March 17, 19 It’s almost spring and thoughts are starting to turn to gardening and getting our hands into the earth. But how friendly is your soil to plants? Cabarrus County residents can learn how to turn yard and kitchen wastes into valuable lawn and garden nutrients at a free backyard composting class. Presented by the Cabarrus County’s Waste Reduction division, the class will teach participants how to enrich clay with compost to build healthier soil and how to compost responsibly. “Compost is a wonderful natural fertilizer,” said Pete Pasterz, Cabarrus County waste reduction coordinator. “It helps retain moisture and has also shown to reduce the number of weeds in a garden.” “About one-third of household trash is compostable.” If put in a landfill, “this organic waste causes methane to form, which is a more potent than carbon dioxide as a climate-warming gas,” said Pasterz. The free class for Cabarrus residents is Thursday, March 17 from 6-8 p.m., or Saturday, March 19 from 2-4 p.m. All participants will take home a wire compost bin and composting guide. There will be refreshments and door prizes. Space is limited. To reserve a spot call Pete Pasterz at 704-920-3280 or email recycle@cabarruscounty.us.

Spring treatments for the front door include hydrangea wreaths Through the years, I’ve shown little restraint when it comes to dressing up my front door. I’ve embellished it with mirrors, oil paintings, plates and platters, wreaths, lanterns, wall clocks and baskets of flowers, to name a few. For spring this year, I’m going for a simple, eye-catching look that only takes minutes to hang. Want to join me? Here are three super-easy, darling designs to inspire you. After a long, brutal winter, I can’t seem to get enough color in my life right now. So I’ve been drawn to this year’s array of brightly colored homeaccent pieces that sport vibrant hues like orange, ma-
Hanging a mirror on my front door is one of my favorite tricks because I like how it reflects the light, sparkling and catching the eye of passers-by. genta and teal. These peppy colors would look fabulous on your door this spring. And what could be easier than hanging a simple wreath made of flowers and fresh spring greens? I’m crazy about a happy wreath that features peach, tangerine and sunny yellow gerbera daisies. We secured the wreath to a nail in the door, and snap, we were done. You could also hang it from a festive ribbon tied to your front-door knocker.
Whenever I see hydrangea blossoms, I think of romance. We used mounds of hydrangeas when decorating our home for our daughter’s summer wedding. And my dear friends Gloria and Lynda, whose unenviable task it is to try to keep my garden alive, have planted some hearty hydrangeas in my yard that not even I have been able to kill. So when I saw a simple but beautiful hydrangea wreath at market, I had to order a stack of them. I like that it’s not too
cutesy, thanks to the bare sticks that are woven throughout the wreath. You’ll be able to find lots of floral wreaths this year — we have a ton of different looks at Nell Hill’s right now. But if you’re crafty, make your own. This hydrangea wreath is so pretty, you can hang it all by itself from a nail in your door or tie it to your door knocker. For added oomph, suspend it from a beautiful bow. If you want to play up the romance, pick an organza ribbon in pink or green. For a more natural look, pick a rustic burlap ribbon. Hanging a mirror on my front door is one of my favorite tricks because I like how it reflects the light, sparkling and catching the eye
of passers-by. For this fun treatment, we started with a mirrored wall sconce that features delicate details, like leaves and flowers, fashioned from metal. When you hang your mirror, make sure to secure it well so it doesn’t flap in the wind. Also, protect your door by backing the mirror with felt. This mirror would be lovely enough to feature alone. But we couldn’t resist the urge to add spring greens. So, we made a simple arrangement using assorted spring picks — greens and a delicate white flower. Then we finished it off with a black-and-white plaid bow. Lanterns are another alltime-favorite tool to use on my front door. The visual team at
Happy female cabbie now bored and crabby fice as me and has caught me e-mailing Tiffany. She doesn’t like it. I don’t find Tiffany attractive at all, and we don’t have any history. I would never cheat. What Emily seems to have a problem with is not that I talk to someone throughout the day but that I talk to a woman. I don’t see a problem with it. It is the same as if I were talking with one of my guy friends. Does Emily have the right or any reason to tell me that I shouldn’t talk to Tiffany? I don’t think I should have to stop contacting her just because Emily has a problem with it. — Caught Dear Caught: When you describe yourself as being “caught,” it implies that you were doing something worthy of being caught at. I agree with you that men and women should be able to have personal and work friends of whatever gender, and to be in touch with these friends. It seems strange that in seven years of being together (and now working together), your girlfriend “Emily” hasn’t adjusted to your friendship with “Tiffany.” You might be able to broker this by making
sure that the two women meet and that your contact is transparent, so Emily can make her own personal “threat assessment.” If you can’t come to terms regarding this, you may have to sit down with a counselor to work out the issue of trust that is dividing you. Dear Amy: A woman wrote to you, asking if it was OK if she attended the funeral of her ex-husband’s wife. I have a very good relationship with my husband’s exwife, but would I want her to show support for my husband by showing up at my funeral? No. And I think her son should be commended for speaking to her beforehand. As you said, there are many ways to show support without attending the funeral. — Good Grief Dear Grief: A funeral isn’t the correct venue for testing relationships.

coming a school or city bus driver, working as a dispatcher or driving a delivery truck — these are jobs in which your restlessness and love of people would be an asset. Otherwise, you should use your temperament to your advantage by approaching your companion job with energy and the determination to maximize your client’s enjoyment. Go on outings, if possible. Help your client to entertain friends. Depending on your client’s capabilities, you should encourage him or her to be as engaged and active as possible. Dear Amy: I’m 25 years old and have been working with the same financial institution for almost six years now. Two years ago I moved up to the head office. When I was working as a bank teller, I made some friends in the branch. One friend, “Tiffany,” is several years older than me, married with a baby son. While working together, Tiffany and I used to chat throughout the day, and even though I’m working in a different office now, we still email each other regularly while at work, but almost never outside of work. I’ve had a girlfriend, “Emily,” for seven years. Emily recently got a job in the same of-

Dear Amy: I am a happily married 45-year-old woman with three school-age children. I took a job driving a cab in the worst part of town because I was bored sitting around the house. I love my job, even though it is unhealthy and dangerous and the money isn’t that great. I just really love the people and driving. My family and everyone else is appalled and wants me ASK to do some- AMY thing different. I went out yesterday and obtained a job as a companion. I haven’t started yet, but I already know how bored I am going to be. Any suggestions on how to make the best of it? — Happy Cabbie Dear Cabbie: You don’t say what kind of companion you will be, but if you start this gig thinking you’ll be bored out of your mind, I find myself feeling sorry for your client. The most obvious answer is to compromise by being a cabbie in a less dangerous part of town. You could also explore options such as be-
Nell Hill’s Atchison picked a cute boxy lantern to hold a playful spring tableau. This beguiling scene features a small mirror, two irresistible frog figurines, some tiny potted ferns, a few flower blooms and moss. The fun continues on the top of the lantern, where we’ve created a spray of spring greens (and another frog!) tied up in a black-andwhite plaid ribbon. All you need to create a whimsical display of your own is an empty lantern, some sprig decorative accents and greens, and your own imagination.

Q: I have a room with a crawlspace under it about 20 inches high. The room has 12inch floor joists, with rolled batt insulation. I’d like to insulate the block walls to reduce the amount of thermo change under the room, looking to reduce the thermo change inside the room. I’ve checked with area insulation suppliers, and they say there isn’t a rigid insulation for that type of work. I’m afraid to do much due to the possible condensation that may form between the insulation and blocks. Is there a type of rigid insulation I could use, or is this whole thing a bad idea? I live in central Virginia. — via email A: If I understand the ques-
tion, you want to insulate the perimeter walls of a concreteblock crawlspace foundation. Rigid foam board panels or expanding spray foam are the ideal choices for insulating the perimeter foundation walls from the interior of the crawlspace. Rigid foam will provide both a thermal barrier and an air barrier. An air barrier prevents airflow through or around the insulation and is very important for energy conservation when considering any exterior wall section, which is above grade. Above the foundation wall you will find the rim joists, the perimeter boards attached to the ends of the floor joists. It is important to insulate the rim joists to conserve energy and I would strongly recommend rigid foam board sealed in place or expanding
spray foam whether in a crawlspace or a basement. Rigid foam can be found in home stores and most lumberyards and you simply apply the sheets directly to the foundation walls using a construction adhesive. A call to the Roanoke Home Depot found that they stock various thicknesses of 4by-8-foot sheets of rigid foam insulation. The costs of the material will vary by the thickness of the product. I do not recommend fiberglass for the walls of a crawlspace foundation. I have seen several applications where the fiberglass has contributed to condensation because the fiberglass is not in direct contact with the concrete block surface, which allows moist air to collect on the cooler block surface. Sometimes, unwanted pests also find fiber-
glass a perfect nesting material. If you must insulate the cavities of the floor system, use an unfaced fiberglass insulating material, then cover the bottom of the floor joists with a rigid foam insulation and seal and tape all the joists of the foam board to prevent air movement. There’s no need to insulate both the floor system and the foundation walls. Either one would be adequate. Dwight Barnett is a certified master inspector with the American Society of Home Inspectors.

10 steps to organizing all those pictures SIGNUP Home and Garden Television
A continuing compendium of tips and tricks from Home & Garden Television: The advent of digital imaging changed the world of photography. Digital cameras allow photographers of all skill levels to take more pictures, to edit them, to create digital albums, to print copies with the click of a button and to organize everything on a home computer. Follow these 10 steps to capture and protect memories for generations to come. 1. The best camera is the one you have with you. If carrying your digital camera is not an option, consider upgrading the storage on your cell phone’s camera. 2. Invest in two smaller memory cards as opposed to one large one. That way, when a card fails you won’t stand to lose as many photos.
3. Delete as you go. Deleting less desirable shots will give you more room on the photo card and save time when downloading. 4. Move pictures from your photo card to your computer at the end of every day or every time you take pictures. 5. On your computer, sort photos in a folder structure that makes sense to you. You could organize by month and year, by family members’ names or by event name. 6. Consider using a photomanagement tool like Adobe Photoshop Elements or Apple iPhoto to edit photos. Learning the basics of a photo-editing tool is a good idea, too. Consider taking a class. 7. Utilize an online photosharing website such as Shutterfly, Flickr or SmugMug. 8. Learn to recognize corrupt files. 9. Reformat your memory card from the camera. This
simple step makes a big difference in photo organization. 10. Many photo applications and photo-sharing sites allow users to tag photos with keywords, so you can find photos easier in the future. Also, many online photo-sharing services read these tags and expose them to their own search engines, so that friends and family have help finding photos when they visit your site. Tag as often as time allows.

INCANDESCENT VS CFL
Don’t buy bulb brouhaha Muslims in America
associated press
Women gather at a ‘today, i am a Muslim, too’ rally to protest a congressional hearing on the role of Muslims in homegrown terrorism, held in New York this week.
hat do some House and Senate Republicans have against the light bulb industry? The question arises as Congress considers repealing the 2007 regulation mandating more efficient light bulbs. While repeal advocates act as if radical environmentalists and nanny-state government types are the only ones supporting the law, the light bulb lobby is waving for attention from the corner. That industry has already flipped the switch on transition from conventional incandescents to the higher efficiency bulbs being phased in over the next few years. The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) favors keeping the law, which it helped write under the Bush administration. It’s also supported by the American Lighting Association, another trade group. If industry wants to keep these regulations, why are supposedly business-friendly politicians expending so much energy opposing them? And how do you reconcile calls for energy independence, on the one hand, with demands that energy-wasting products remain on the market when replacements could reduce the electricity demand for lighting by up to 30 percent? Ponder that logic while taking a closer look at the law. It does not “ban” all incandescent bulbs, as some claim, any more than government fuel economy mandates banned four-barrel carburetors and noncomputerized ignition systems. The government set a graduated energy standard for light bulbs and left it to manufacturers to decide how best to meet it. Some companies are concentrating on compact fluorescents (and working, incidentally, to reduce the mercury content that is a legitimate concern). Others, such as Durham-based Cree, are developing LED technologies. Yet others are bringing more halogen options to market. And, as a NEMA spokesman noted this week, improvements in the familiar incandescent bulb may enable it to meet the new standards, too. As with any shift to new technologies, the path isn’t without pitfalls. Although CFLs accounted for 25 percent of bulbs sold in 2010, the efficiency shift hasn’t led to more U.S.-based production, at least not yet. Indeed, those who’ve lost the most through the new regulations are the 200 workers at a GE plant in Westchester, Va., that recently closed, turning out the lights on the last major U.S. bulb plant. That could change, however, as demand increases and more consumers say they’re willing to pay a premium for U.S.-made products. The old incandescent bulb served us well for many decades, but as the relic of another century — the 19th — it’s overdue for an update. It generates a lot more heat than light. You might say the same for the repeal debate going on in Washington.

Common sense
(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)
How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it. — Marcus Aurelius
e are lucky to live with so many advances and modern devices in our world today. Multi-media is unbelievable, with technology changing daily. In the early days of technology, we were told our lives would become easier. While that may be true, in one sense of the word, it also seems people’s lives have become more complicated and isolated as a result of these advances. An example of this can be seen in something as simple as doing the laundry. This past fall, my mother fell and came to live at my house for a few months. One day when I DICY was doing her MCCULLOUGH laundry, she shared her experience as a child washing clothes for her mom. I for one, am grateful I didn’t have to go down to the creek like she had to do. Mom was from a large family and each member had certain chores. One of her chores was to take care of the wash. Mom sat back in her easy chair and began the story. “If it was warm enough, at least two of us kids would go down to the creek with a tub, fill it with water and then start a fire under it to get the water hot. We’d mix up homemade detergent with lye soap and begin stirring it around in the tub.” (As Mom is sharing this bit of information, I can’t help but be amazed that children were allowed to start a fire in the woods. It’s a wonder they didn’t burn down everything in sight.) Mom continues, “We scrubbed the clothes with the wash board, and sometimes even rubbed our knuckles raw. We went early in the morning, around 9, and washed clothes until about 12 noon. To be truthful, we weren’t washing all that time, some of that time was spent playing in the creek because we didn’t want to come back to the house too early. If we came back too soon, then we’d have some other job to do. It was easier to pretend we were still washing. In those days, since we didn’t have clothes pins, we’d hang the clothes on the barb-wire fence to dry. The barb-wire kept the clothes from blowing away.” One of the things that struck me funny, as I listened to Mom tell her story, was the fact she would pretend to be washing so she didn’t have to come back to the house too early. When I was a child, I didn’t get by with anything, and here my mom is playing tricks to get out of work. One of my chores, as a little girl, was also to help wash the clothes. Up until I was about 12 or 13, Mom had one of the old wringer-type machines. She would roll it into the kitchen and fill it with water from the faucet at the kitchen sink. The clothes would agitate for a while, and then we’d run them through the wringer to get the water out. Since we didn’t have a clothes dryer, we’d have to take the clothes out to the clothes line, in the backyard, and hang them up to dry. This was true in warm weather and cold. Mom was very particular about hanging her clothes out a certain way, and I knew to do it right, or it would be done again. At least I didn’t have to hang them on a barb-wire fence. Washing clothes and hanging them out to dry were not my favorite chores, but I loved the smell of the clothes when they were taken off the line, and I especially loved the smell of the sheets the first night I slept on them. Even so, what I remember most was the time spent together with my mom. Are things really better today, or were things better when families had to work together to get the job done? Maybe the work was harder, and took longer, but at least you had someone to share the workload with. No amount of new technology or gadgets can improve on relationships and family dynamics like time spent together, and no matter how great technology may be, it will never replace the human touch. I think about that as I hold my new grandson close and watch as his mother goes to fix his bottle in her beautiful modern kitchen. Even if it’s true our lives are easier because of technology, and we need it, at the end of the day, we need each other more. • • • Dicy McCullough is the author of a children’s book, “Tired of my Bath,” available at the Literary Book Post and amazon.com.

Nearly a decade after the Sept. 11 attacks, we in America still don’t understand that while there are radicalized Muslims who want to destroy the United States, hundreds of millions of people around the world believe passionately in the Islam religion and don’t hate us. But they are growing increasingly confused about what our policies are. King convened his controversial hearing as chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee to probe the extent of terrorist intent among Muslims in America. Ellison, the first Muslim American elected to Congress, said the hearing was the height of stereotyping and scapegoating. Others charged that the hearing was a portrait in bigotry in a country founded on freedom of religion. Ellison tearfully recalled a boyhood friend, also a Muslim, who was killed at the World Trade Center while trying to

Solely because of his religion, some tried to vilify him, suggesting he might have been involved. Democrats on the committee complained there was no factual basis for King’s hearing and that it will only stir antagonism against America’s 3 million Muslims. Some recalled the government’s cruel internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. The problem with King, who, by the way, supported the Irish Republican Army when the United States deemed it a terrorist organization, which killed innocent people, is that his hearing had no point. What does he want to happen? Monitor what goes on in mosques? Tear down mosques? Imprison young Muslim American men? Stoke fear of Muslim Americans? Have neighbors spying on each other? With the help and warnings of Muslim Americans, law enforcement officials have prevented at least 43 home-grown terror plots from succeeding. The FBI keeps tabs on domestic suspects. We need to keep out foreign terrorists rather than devoting scarce resources on surveillance of our citizens’ religiosity.

For a team that went to the finals for the first time in the college’s esteemed history to only have a article on the last page of the sports section was disappointng. Livingstone College represents the city of Salisbury and should have received more indepth coverage by your paper. As Mayor Kluttz said at the school assembly today, Livingstone had the highest GPA of all the teams represented. Livingstone’s coach was named coach of the year.

This all comes just as the White House is trying to figure out what to do about Libya. Obama said flatly that Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi must relinquish power but is considered an international criminal, meaning he has no alternative but to fight. Yet, Obama also doesn’t want to send planes to bomb Gadhafi’s airfields, which are being used to bomb his own people. It is understandable that the United States, involved in two wars in the Middle East that it shouldn’t have started, does not want another military engagement, let alone, heaven forbid, boots on the ground. But sending medical supplies and weapons to the Libyan rebels and sending planes to bomb Libyan fighter planes (short of a full nofly zone) have now become a moral obligation. At the same time we are trying to convince the world we are not at war with Islam, Obama has conceded that closing Guantanamo (sending its inmates elsewhere) will not happen any time soon despite his promise to shut it down. Because hundreds of Muslims were held there without legal charges or a day in court, Guantanamo symbolizes the point where America’s ideals fall to pragmatism. In June 2009 Obama gave a well-received speech in Cairo titled “A New Beginning” to tell the world we are not and never will be at war with the Islam religion. Now, many are wondering. • • • Ann McFeatters writes for Scripps Howard News Service.

God expelled The Feb. 26 article “Heroes among us,” by the Rev. Dr. George Jackson, beautifully shared his perspective of a long-ago time, including incredible teachers and other blessings. I believe segregation was a harsh and cruel law, and I am so thankful it was finally overturned. I could not experience segregation as Reverend
Jackson did, but I could identify with one of the phrases he used. He mentioned how his teachers taught the Scriptures “before God was expelled from school.” During my high school years at Eastern, an all-girls public high school in Baltimore, Md., in the early 1950s, our teachers each morning read a portion of Scripture, often from Psalms. Then we had prayer and stood and recited the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. I am thankful to have had those blessings day after day before some people in high places decided to end the free exercise of those rights. Also, in addition to Bible readings and prayer, there were Christmas programs that were really Christmas programs. We lost a lot when “God was expelled from school.” — Lee Hall Salisbury

Coffee may help women lower stroke risk DALLAS (AP) — Women who enjoy a daily dose of coffee may like this perk: It might lower their risk of stroke. Women in a Swedish study who drank at least a cup of coffee everyday had a 22 to 25 percent lower risk of stroke, compared to those who drank less coffee or none at all. “Coffee drinkers should rejoice,” said Dr. Sharonne N. Hayes, a cardiologist at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. “Coffee is often made out to be potentially bad for your heart. There really hasn’t been any study that convincingly said coffee is bad.” “If you are drinking coffee now, you may be doing some good and you are likely not doing harm,” she added. But Hayes and other doctors say the study shouldn’t send non-coffee drinkers running to their local coffee shop. The study doesn’t prove that coffee lowers stroke risk, only that coffee drinkers tend to have a lower stroke risk.
NEW YORK (AP) — Weak economic news from China, the U.S. and Spain combined with a slump in oil companies sent stocks sharply lower Thursday. The Dow Jones industrial average had its biggest one-day drop since August. Investors were jarred when China reported a surprise trade deficit. China’s exports fell in February as businesses closed for the weeklong Lunar New Year holiday, but imports of higher-priced oil and other goods jumped, widening the country’s deficit to $7.3 billion. Moody’s downgraded Spain’s debt, reigniting fears about Europe’s debt crisis. In the U.S., the government reported that new applications for unemployment benefits rose more than expected last week. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 228.48 points, or 1.9 percent, to close at 11,984.61. McDonald’s Corp. was the only stock in the Dow 30 that rose. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 24.91, or 1.9 percent, to 1,295.11. The Dow and S&P 500 are still up 3 percent since the start of the year.
Gadhafi forces pound rebels, force frantic retreat in Libya RAS LANOUF, Libya (AP) — With fierce barrages of tank and artillery fire, Moammar Gadhafi’s loyalists threw rebels into a frantic retreat from a strategic oil port in a counteroffensive that reversed the opposition’s advance toward the capital of Tripoli. The U.S. director of national intelligence stressed that Gadhafi’s military was stronger than it has been described and said that “in the longer term ... the regime will prevail.” Hundreds of rebels in cars and trucks mounted with machine guns sped eastward on the Mediterranean coastal road in disorganized flight as an overwhelming force of rockets and shells pounded them. The opposition, however, made some diplomatic gains. France became the first country to recognize the rebels’ eastern-based governing council, and an ally of President Nicolas Sarkozy said his government was planning “targeted operations” to defend civilians if the international community approves. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said she would meet with opposition leaders in the U.S., Egypt and Tunisia.
Capitol Hill terrorism hearing turns to language, religion WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress pushed deep into a raw and emotional debate Thursday over American Muslims who have committed terrorist attacks in the name of religion, in a hearing punctuated by tearful testimony, angry recriminations and political theater. Republican Rep. Peter King declared U.S. Muslims are doing too little to help fight terror in America. Democrats warned of inflaming anti-Muslim sentiment and energizing al-Qaida. Framed by photos of the burning World Trade Center and Pentagon, the families of two young men blamed the Islamic community for inspiring young men to commit terrorism. On the other side, one of the two Muslims in Congress wept while discussing a Muslim firefighter who died in the attacks. The sharp divisions reflect a country still struggling with how best to combat terrorism nearly a decade after the September 2001 attacks. Al-Qaida has built a strategy recently around motivating young American Muslims to become one-man terror cells, and the U.S. government has wrestled with fighting that effort.
TEACHER FROM 1a You’ve got to have a beginning place to start a discussion and it’s triggering a lot of thought,” Sen. Jerry Tillman, R-Randolph, a Senate education budget writer, said Thursday. On their own, he said,” some of them are staggering. They’re very devastating.” Republicans are considering deeper cuts needed to close a $2.4 billion budget gap because they resolved not to extend some sales and income tax increases scheduled to expire this year. That means there will be less available revenue for the fiscal year starting July 1. But they say voters elected them with a mandate to spend less and spend smartly. The ideas discussed by the subcommittee this week come in part from state agencies that were asked by Perdue last fall to predict what they would have to cut if they lost either 5 or 10 percent of their budgets. In education, the choices include raising the student-teacher ratio by two students in all grades or increasing class sizes in grades K-9. The state allocates teacher money based on ratios that range from one teacher from 18 students to almost 27, depending on the grade. The direst scenario there would eliminate $333 mil-
“These sorts of epidemiological studies are compelling but they don’t prove cause,” said Dr. David S. Seres, director of medical nutrition at Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York. The findings were published online Thursday in the American Heart Association journal Stroke. Scientists have been studying coffee for years, trying to determine its risks and benefits. The Swedish researchers led by Susanna Larsson at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm said previous studies on coffee consumption and strokes have had conflicting findings. “There hasn’t been a consistent message come out,” of coffee studies, said Dr. Cathy Sila, a stroke neurologist at University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland. For the observational study, researchers followed 34,670 Swedish women, ages 49 to 83, for about 10 years. Researchers checked hospital records to find out how many of the women who drank coffee later had strokes.

dead fish float in the King Harbor area of Redondo Beach, south of Los angeles, after an estimated million fish turned up dead on tuesday, puzzling authorities.
Tons of dead sardines clog marina in Southern California REDONDO BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Thousands of slimy, reeking sardines gurgled to the surface of an increasingly murky Southern California marina on Thursday as crews kept scooping and vacuuming tons of fish that perished in a huge, unexplained die-off. Volunteers and city workers scrambled for a third day to remove the bloated fish in King Harbor. It could take about a week to clean up the mess. “The virtue is we can get them easier,” police Sgt. Phil Keenan said. “The vice is they smell.” By Thursday evening, 85 tons of fish had been removed, Redondo Beach Mayor Mike Gin said. The cleanup came after the enormous school of sardines apparently suffocated in the harbor, possibly while seeking shelter from a predator or simply becoming lost near a breakwater,
Obama says ears, name led to taunts; wants end to bullying WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama smiled when he said his large ears and funny name once made him a target of school-yard harassment. But he was all seriousness when he told a White House conference on bullying that torment and intimidation must not be tolerated. Some 13 million students, about a third of all those attending school, are bullied every year, the White House said. Experts say that puts them at greater risk of falling behind in their studies, abusing drugs or alcohol, or suffering mental or other health problems. Kids who are seen as different because of their race, clothes, disability or sexual orientation are more likely to be bullied. “If there’s one goal of this conference,” Obama said, “it’s to dispel the myth that bullying is just a harmless rite of passage or an inevitable part of growing up. It’s not.” He spoke to more than 100 parents, students, teachers and others gathered to discuss the problem and share ideas for solutions.
lion in funding for 6,062 positions. Options for teacher assistants could mean funding them only in kindergarten and first grade, or perhaps none at all. That would eliminate $528 million, or the equivalent of 17,741 positions, the document said. Democrats and the state’s leading teacher lobbying group say these and other options are proof that additional revenues are needed, such as the temporary taxes. Perdue’s budget retains $800 million next year by keeping most of a penny increase in the sales tax that ends June 30. “There’s got to be a combination of revenue and cuts to really not do significant damage to the state,” said Rep. Rick Glazier, D-Cumberland. “But if we’re only going to be looking at cuts, that no matter which way you turn, there’s going to be huge damage to the education system.” Public school personnel didn’t avoid cuts the past two years even with the temporary taxes in place. The budget directed all local school districts to find $225 million in combined cuts during the 2009-10 school year and $305 million this year. The local cuts contributed largely to school districts eliminating 5,400 instructional and support positions during the first year and an additional 9,600 this year, according to the North Carolina Association of Educators.
“Bullying can have destructive consequences for our young people. And it’s not something we have to accept,” he said. The issue has been getting more attention partly because texting, Facebook, Twitter and other technologies are being used to carry it out — it’s called cyberbullying — and because of media coverage of teens who have killed themselves after such taunting.
Sheen files $100 million suit against Warner, producers SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — Charlie Sheen brought his verbal war against Warner Bros. and the executive producer of “Two and a Half Men” to the courtroom, filing a $100 million lawsuit seeking to recoup his salary and wages for the show’s cast and crew. The breach of contract lawsuit alleges production was halted on the CBS sitcom in part to punish Sheen for recent behavior that has included two hospitalizations and, in recent weeks, a series of interviews in which he has attacked executive producer Chuck Lorre. But the suit and Sheen’s attorney, Marty Singer, say most of the incidents cited by Warner Bros. for firing Sheen occurred before his tirades against Lorre began. “The suspension and SHEEN termination of Mr. Sheen occurred only after Mr. Sheen had finally been provoked into criticizing Lorre in response to his harassment and disparagement campaign which had been going on for years,” according to the suit. The filing comes four days after Sheen was terminated from “Two and a Half Men,” leaving the top-rated sitcom’s future in doubt. Sheen’s lawsuit alleges that Warner Bros. bowed to Lorre’s desire to punish Sheen, and that the producer and studio conspired to blame the actor for causing production to stop.
JOBS FROM 1a ing sign that several sectors of the economy are improving, particularly retail and trade, transportation and utilities. The latter category added about 11,300 jobs in January. But other sectors continue to struggle. The construction industry shed 5,100 jobs in January, and education and health services jobs declined by about 3,300 positions. Just over 4 million people have jobs in North Carolina, a figure roughly unchanged from December. Ever since the economy bottomed out in 2009, there have been few signs of dramatic recovery or major setbacks in the job market, according to John Quinterno, founder of South by North Strategies, a Chapel Hill research consulting firm specializing in economic affairs. “This has really been the pattern that North Carolina has been in since September 2009 or so,” he said. “There was some positive payroll employment growth in January, but that’s really not going to do anything to replace the jobs that have been lost.” The most worrying sign in the new data for Quinterno is a revised estimate of how many jobs North Carolina has lost since the beginning of the Great Recession in December 2007. The state had previously estimated that number was around 275,000, but now believes it’s closer to 310,000 jobs lost. “That definitely shows the job gap North Carolina is facing is even more severe than we had initially thought,” he said.
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — An employee of Chrysler Group LLC’s social media agency has been fired after it was discovered the person posted an obscene tweet on the Chrysler brand’s official account. The tweet posted Wednesday read: “I find it ironic that Detroit is known as the (hash)motorcity and yet no one here knows how
to (expletive) drive.” The Detroit News, Detroit Free Press and WXYZ-TV report the message has been deleted from the account. The Auburn Hills-based automaker posted to its blog later that day apologizing for the actions of the New Media Strategies employee. Chrysler says it doesn’t “tolerate inappropriate language or behavior.”

RIDERS FROM 1a tion, the company which also provides RITA van service for Rowan County. Salisbury Transit Manager Rodney Harrison reported last week the connector cost will rise from $21.50 to $30 an hour for a total of $43,260 in the new fiscal year. At the same City Council meeting, neither Mayor Susan Kluttz nor City Manager David Treme sounded optimistic that the connector route could be saved. But some users of the Lash Drive Connector say it was never set up to succeed. One problem, Mary Adams said Wednesday, is that it only runs two days a week. “That doesn’t work if you have a job working five days a week or you’re going to school five or six days a week,” she said. Another unintentional thing that maybe has discouraged ridership has been the use of the RITA van. People associate the RITA vehicles with running on an appointment schedule and serving only seniors and the disabled. “People can’t tell if that’s a bus or not,” Watkins said. The Lash Drive Connector van is meant as public transit for everyone at 50 cents a ride for seniors and $1 per trip for others, with free transfers to the regular city bus route at the mall. “It’s confusing to a lot of people,” Adams, an 82-yearold resident of Crosswinds, said of the connector. “... I’m sure the city is working hard on it, but there’s something lacking.” Adams was an original petitioner for Lash Drive bus service in 2009. She compares the city’s effort to giving someone a biscuit and feeling satisfied that it has fed that person for the whole day. This past Tuesday, Adams used the connector to hook up with a city bus and go to the downtown post office. Adams relies on a walker much of the time. But on days when the connector doesn’t run, Adams drives her own car to run errands and make it to appointments. “I’ll miss it a lot, be-

change, Albert Watkins, who is legally blind, often will rely on the connector to get him to the mall. “If I don’t have the money, I borrow it from my neighbor,” he said. On days when the connector isn’t available, Watkins will sometimes maneuver his “power chair” all the way from Crosswinds. On this day, Watkins needed to go downtown to Rowan Helping Ministries to pick up some medicine. Archie Reid, a Laurel Pointe resident, said he appreciated the city’s trying to help his Lash Drive area, but ridership numbers are low because the connector only runs twice a week. He said the area has single parents and seniors who would miss the service. If the connector is eliminated, the closest bus stop will be a mile away, Reid added. Adams said she would like to challenge the mayor and other City Council members to walk with her from Lash Drive to the mall, ride a bus to the transit transfer station near the depot and walk from there to downtown stores. “I would just love it,” she said. “When I was their age, I thought I had the world in the palm of my hand. But it won’t be long until they are where I am. What are they going to do? They are going to be seeing it like I’m feeling it.”

Scott has Hollywood movie story BY SCOTT ADAMSON Scripps Howard News Service
NASCAR and Las Vegas Motor Speedway last weekend honored the late Wendell Scott by placing stickers bearing Scott’s likeness on all the cars competing in the Nationwide and Sprint Cup Series. Scott, the first AfricanAmerican driver to compete — and win — in what was then known as the Grand National Division, made his NASCAR debut 50 years ago right up the road here in Spartanburg, S.C. His first race took place at the old Piedmont Interstate Fairgrounds on March 4, 1961. His only win would come two years later at Speedway Park in Jacksonville, Fla., although track officials refused to immediately recognize his achievement. In the era of Jim Crow a non-white driver winning in NASCAR wasn’t the way things were supposed to go, so it was only after the crowds left that Scott was “honored” with a secondrate trophy. Besides, they didn’t want a black man cozying up to a white beauty queen in victory lane. These and other issues surrounding Scott are addressed in “Wendell Scott: A Race Story,” a docu-drama that debuted on ESPN following last month’s Daytona 500. My “introduction” to Scott came with the 1977 theatrical release of the movie “Greased Lightning.” Of course I went to the movie because it starred Richard Pryor; I’d never heard of Scott. By 1999, however, I had become fascinated with this driver’s amazing story. That year he was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame and I had a chance to talk to one of his sons, Wendell Scott Jr. As it turned out, “Greased Lightning” was more Hollywood than reality. “The initial script of the movie I thought was better,” Scott Jr. said. “It was more accurate. They tried to get Bill Cosby, but he was too expensive, then they tried to get Issac Hayes, and dad definitely didn’t want him playing the part. Then they decided on Richard Pryor, and even though dad had a great sense of humor, the movie became too much of a comedy. There was enough about him to make it interesting, but it certainly didn’t tell the story that we really think needs to be told.” Scott began his racing career in 1947 in his hometown of Danville, Va. In the next few years he won 128 hobby, amateur and modified races, and in 1959 he grabbed 22 checkers and claimed both the Richmond track championship as well as Virginia State Sportsman title. He moved up to Grand National in 1961. Scott Jr., along with brother Frankie, went along for more than just the ride. “In the early days Frankie and I were his pit crew,” Scott Jr. said. “My first paycheck was when I was 9-years-old, and dad gave me $5 for working the pits. Over time we had six or seven other people working with us, and that helped keep us competitive. I was crew chief and Frankie handled the chassis. “You’ll hear people talk about how dad never had a pit crew, but you don’t win as many races as he did by yourself. From 1966-69, we finished in the top 10 in points, and you can’t do that without a true pit crew.” Sounds like the makings of a great movie.

Maryland beats Pack BY AARON BEARD Associated Press
GREENSBORO — Maryland ended its lateseason Maryland 75 slide to N.C. State 67 stay unbeaten against Sidney Lowe at North Carolina State. The question now is whether Lowe will get another shot at the Terrapins next year. Jordan Williams had 16 points and 13 rebounds to help Maryland beat N.C. State 75-67 on Thursday night in the first round of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. The seventh-seeded Terrapins (19-13) led by 17 points in the first half and never let the 10th-seeded Wolfpack (15-16) get closer than six after halftime. They needed this win considering how they possibly fumbled away their NCAA tournament at-large chances by closing the regular season with three straight losses, two coming to lower-seeded Miami and Virginia. Maryland next faces fifth-ranked Duke, the tournament’s No. 2 seed, in Friday’s quarterfinals.
“I thought we learned we could win,” coach Gary Williams said. “Winning is a fragile thing. You lose a couple of games, and doubt starts to seep in. You have to have tough people like who are sitting beside me here to prevent that from happening.” The Terrapins led the entire way in what could be the final game for Lowe, the fifthyear coach who was the starting point guard on N.C. State’s “Cardiac Pack” team that won an improbable NCAA championship in 1983. The Wolfpack just couldn’t pull off the same kind of magic it had in a pair of deep ACC tournament runs while Lowe roamed the sideline in his striking red blazer. The Wolfpack shot just 34 percent, including 2-for-17 from 3-point range, and fell to 0-9 against Williams’ Terps under Lowe. Lowe said he planned to talk with athletics director Debbie Yow and “see where it goes from there.” “I love this school,” Lowe said. “I poured my sweat here for four years to give it my best, and it was my hope and dream to come back here and do something special again. So, yeah, it means a lot more to me than it might mean to
straight titles. If both win, it would bring the number of state titles to five for Rowan County this school year. Chris Myers’ Salisbury girls tennis team won its third straight back in the fall. Last year, the county produced six state championships in football, basketball, baseball, tennis and two in track. • Fans who were around 25 years ago can tell you Rowan County was winning in bunches back then, too. In 1986, North Rowan beat Ayden-Grifton 74-69 as Antoine Sifford scored 25 and Jimmy Kesler added 20. The MVP was 6-foot-11 Ralph Kitley, who was Wake Forestbound. He had 17 points and 14 rebounds. The Cavs took the lead for good with six minutes left and held off the Chargers to fin-
ish 29-2. The very next year, Rowan County won again as Salisbury’s boys (30-2) beat Farmville Central 63-45 behind Fred Campbell and Bryan Withers. • When Jordan Kimber enters the game Saturday for North Rowan, he’s sure to dazzle the fans at some point with an electrifying pass or by burying a long three. The fans will cheer without knowing what excruciating pain Kimber is in. The junior guard has suffered from injuries to his legs and shins. “He’s been in so much pain with his legs,” said North Rowan coach Andrew Mitchell. “He really has 65to-70-year-old legs in a 16-17year-old body.

Associated Press Recapping Thursday’s action at the ACC Tournament... GREENSBORO — The game was slipping away, with Miami missing shot after shot in what looked like a brief stay in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. Instead, the Hurricanes somehow reversed everything in a stunning comeback that will keep them in Greensboro a little longer. Malcolm Grant scored 16 points as Miami rallied from 10 down in the final minute of regulation to force overtime and beat Virginia 69-62 in Thursday’s first round. If the ninth-seeded Hurricanes (19-13) are trying to top last year’s surprise run to the tournament semifinals as a No. 12 seed, they’re off to a good start. They trailed 53-43 with 42.5 seconds left before a frantic flurry erased the deficit and gave them another shot. “I thought our guys showed a lot of character,” Miami coach Frank Haith said. “I’m really proud of these guys because we’ve had some adversity all year in terms of tight ballgames. You’ve got to give these
guys credit in not quitting and making plays down the stretch to give us a chance to win.” The Hurricanes had good reason to believe they could rally against the eighth-seeded Cavaliers (16-15). In the only regular-season meeting, Miami rallied from five down with 38.9 seconds left to force overtime and win 70-68 in Charlottesville on Feb. 5. “Coach just told us in the huddle to never stop believing,” Grant said. “We have a lot of time left. And our assistant coach, he told us that the same thing happened when we played them. We had a lot of confidence, and we just went out there and kept playing. You see what happens when you just keep playing.” Now the Hurricanes are preparing for another shot at sixth-ranked and top-seeded North Carolina — which beat the Hurricanes on a last-second 3-pointer in January — in Friday’s quarterfinals.

Davie baseball loaded Staff report
Mike Herndon is in his 13th season as Davie County’s baseball coach, and this could be the year his team makes serious noise, not only in the CPC but in the 4A state playoffs. The War Eagles are as talented, deep and experienced as they’ve been in a long time. Early season: A 10-run rule romp against Mooresville was impressive, and Davie won a tough one against a good Mount Pleasant team. Who’s missing? Key losses included right fielder Zach Long and pitcher Josh Berryhill. Who’s back? Just about everyone else, including shortstop Carson Herndon (Liberty), catcher Jacob
Barber (Liberty), center fielder Alex Newman (GardnerWebb) and outfielder/pitcher Joe Watson (Catawba). First baseman Connor Bodenhamer also can swing it. Who’s pitching? Ryan Foster and Corey Randall figure to be the horses for NEWMAN the War Eagles on Tuesdays and Fridays. New name to know: Junior hurler Will Beeson was lights-out against a tough Mount Pleasant lineup. On deck: East Rowan visits Davie for a big one on Saturday afternoon.
NWC is young, but talented Staff report
Coach Joe Hubbard has to find a way to replace the leadership he got from a strong senior class that included Justin Seager and John Wallace, but the Trojans, who lost to East Rowan in the fourth round of the playoffs in 2010, have the talent to battle Mount Pleasant for the SPC title. Early season: A loss to South Rowan was a little surprising, as was the win over East Rowan that followed. More ups and downs can be expected. Who’s missing? Key losses besides Seager and Wallace were pitchers Taylor West and Kevin Hamilton and center fielder Tanner Black. Who’s back? It starts with shortstop Corey Seager, one of the nation’s top juniors and a South Carolina com-
mitment, and everyone loves soph second baseman Tanner Bigham’s bat. A sophomore already verbally committed to UNC, he’ll protect Seager in the lineup. Will Miller (Wingate) is a solid outfielder. Who’s pitching? Lefty Rob Bain (Davidson) has beat- SEAGER en East Rowan twice. Not many people can say that. Junior right-hander Weston Smith is a big, hard-throwing stud. New names to know: Fast outfielder Evan Holub, hitter David Broome and pitcher Parker Wethington. On deck: Concord today; Trojans beat the Spiders 5-3 on Tuesday.
Wonders seek turnaround season Staff report Empsy Thompson (140-144) is back for his 11th year at the helm of the Wonders. A.L. Brown owns one league co-championship (2002) and two tournament titles (2004, 2005) during his tenure. The Wonders are looking to end a string of five straight losing seasons. If there’s been one basic shortcoming, it’s been fielding. Things haven’t been quite the same since the graduation of a super class that had Ryan Query, Garrett Sherrill, J.D. Worthington and Eddie Boger, but Thompson is optimistic. Early season: A well-pitched loss to Hough and a comeback win against West Rowan in non-conference games, plus a 4-0 loss to Robinson ace Brody Koerner to open SPC play. Who’s missing? Pitcher John J. Tuttle, now a Catawba freshman, was a
huge loss. He gave the Wonders a chance every time he pitched. Who’s back? Familiar faces include left-hander Dylan May, outfielder Quin Gill, outfielder/pitcher Zach Jones, catcher Ryan Blackmon and infielder Justin Kidd. Who’s pitching? May, a talented senior who’s healthy again, will be counted on to shut some- GILL one down every week. Jones is capable of big outings. New name to know: Thompson is excited about soph hurler Eldon Peters. On deck: Rematch with Robinson today. May will get the ball in a game the Wonders really need if they’re going to be a factor in the SPC race.

Memorable hit for Wagner From staff reports
Chicago White Sox prospect Daniel Wagner (South Rowan) joined the organization’s big leaguers for a Spring Training game in Arizona on Monday and went 1-for-1. Wagner entered the game at shortstop in the seventh inning. Normally he’s a second baseman. “That was kind of the nervewracking part,” he said when reached by phone in Arizona. “When I heard, ‘Wagner, you’re in at shortstop,’ well, it was the first time I’d play shortstop since high school.” Wagner got to swing a bat in the eighth against Cleveland reliever Jensen Lewis. Both played college ball in Nashville; Lewis at Vanderbilt and Wagner at Belmont. “It was cool, kind of a thrill,” Wagner said. “I had a lot of emotions waiting to hit, thinking back to how far I’d come since high school, but once I got into the box, I was able to focus. After that, it was just playing baseball, like I’d done a million times before. I had fun with it.” It became even more fun when the lefty-hitting Wagner pulled a base hit to right field. “I hit it pretty good, over the first baseman’s head and down the line,” Wagner said. “I rounded the bag, saw the right fielder was being kinda lazy, still just approaching the ball, and I kept on going.” Wagner beat a strong throw on a close play at second. He scored moments later when former LSU hero Jared Mitchell, the top draft pick by the White Sox in 2009, singled him home for a 16-14 lead. “The boxscore said I had a single, but I’m pretty sure it was a double — didn’t see him bobble it,” Wagner said. “It felt pretty good. It was a pretty big run at the time.” Wagner hoped to get a second atbat, but the game was called a 16-16 draw after nine innings. Wagner traveled with a split squad of big-league Sox to Thursday’s game against Colorado, but he didn’t play in a 5-3 White Sox victory.

TITLES FroM 1B things he’s doing right now is a testament to him.” Kimber has missed games that North was favored to win handily, but he has always shown up for the big ones, like the 92-85 double-overtime win against Winston-Salem Prep in the Western Regional final last week. He had several assists and two crucial buckets. “We appreciate him so much as coaches and players,” Mitchell said. “We’ll tell Jordan to sit down at practice but he goes 100 percent like he’s healthy.” Kimber started his career at West Rowan with his brother, Kaleb, and Mitchell noticed the talent even then. “You knew he’d be in a state championship game at some point,” Mitchell said. • Free-throw shooting isn’t supposed to be one of North’s strengths, but against Winston-Salem Prep, the Cavs were 29 of 41. “We’ve been a terrible free-throw shooting team,”
SPORTS Mitchell said. “We used to shoot free throws every day — a lot of free throws. It was miss, miss, miss.” So North stopped focusing on it. “We haven’t even practiced free throws in two weeks,” Mitchell said. “But some of our best shooting games recently have come from the foul line.” • Both girls teams in the 2A title game are excited about playing in the Smith Center. “A lot of our girls are Carolina fans,” said Salisbury coach Chris McNeil. “So to get to play in the Smith Center and play that team again is a special situation. We just told them, ‘Enjoy the ride. Enjoy the moment.’ ” East Bladen coach Patty Evers figured after last year’s loss, these two teams were destined to make the finals again. And she was so excited about the venue, she took her team to North Carolina camp during the summer. “I told them to walk out to the middle of the floor and sit there until I told them to get up,” Evers smiled. “I’m more
excited about this one. I’ve been a Carolina fan all my life. I went to Carolina camp myself.” The East has been designated the home team so East Bladen (30-1) will wear white. “I’m tickled to death to be the home team and get to sit on that bench,” Evers said. • East Bladen has been impressive over the past five years. This will be their fourth trip to the final. Unfortunately, the Eagles have lost to Bishop McGuinness twice and Salisbury 49-37 last year. Salisbury has made the most of its visits. The Hornets have won three titles, the first in 2004 with an undefeated team. Salisbury’s only loss came in 2006 in overtime, 5655, to Farmville Central. • North has already proven its one of the best teams around, beating two of the last three state champs. Monroe won the 1A title last season. Winston-Salem Prep won the title in 2008. • Rowan County still holds one NCHSAA record. In 1997,

That’s because Patriots’ boys coach Gary Battle is also the girls coach. “I’m going to be there for the girls game anyway,” Battle said when asked how he can manage double duty. “I just like basketball.” • NOTES: The schools have pre-sale tickets through today for $9.

Kansas survives in Big 12 tournament Associated Press From around college hoops... KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Mario Little’s three-point play broke a tie with 71 seconds to go and Oklahoma State missed a desperation heave at the buzzer, allowing No. 2 Kansas to escape with a 63-62 victory Thursday in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament. Big 12 player of the year Marcus Morris, shut down most of the second half, hit a key 3-pointer for the Jayhawks (30-2), who play Colorado in the semifinals Friday night. Kansas trailed by as many as eight until Oklahoma State (19-13) got in deep foul trouble in the second half. Keiton Page had 23 points and Jean-Paul Olukemi had 17 for Oklahoma State, which did a good job of keeping Marcus and Markieff Morris away from the basket and forced the Jayhawks out deep. They put up 25 3-pointers but made only five. No. 21 Connecticut 76, No. 3 Pittsburgh 74 NEW YORK (AP) — Kemba Walker hit the winning basket on a classic stepback jumper at the buzzer and Connecticut stunned Pittsburgh in the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament. Walker got the ball at the top of the key with 15 seconds left and found himself guarded by 6-foot-10 Gary McGhee after the Panthers switched on a screen. The shifty guard used a crossover and shoulder roll to dump McGhee to the ground, then calmly swished the shot. The Huskies (24-9) have won three games in three days after a late-season slide sent them to the No. 9 seed in the Big East tournament. They’ll face fourth-seeded

No. 4 Notre Dame 89, No. 25 Cincinnati 51 NEW YORK — Ben Hansbrough led a brutally efficient attack with 23 points and Notre Dame dismantled one of the nation’s best defenses in a quarterfinal rout of Cincinnati at the Big East tournament. The league’s player of the year had plenty of help. Carleton Scott scored 18 points and Tim Abromaitis had 17 for the Fighting Irish (26-5), who have already won more games than in any other season under longtime coach Mike Brey. No. 8 BYU 64, TCU 58 LAS VEGAS — Jimmer Fredette scored 24 points and BYU overcame a slow start to edge TCU in the Mountain West Conference quarterfinals.
With suspended teammate Brandon Davies watching from the bench in street clothes, the top-seeded Cougars (29-3) had a tougher time than expected against a TCU team that went 1-15 in conference play before snapping a 13-game skid with a win over Wyoming in the play-in game 24 hours earlier. No. 10 Texas 74, Oklahoma 54 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jordan Hamilton and Tristan Thompson each had a doubledouble, helping Texas cruise past Oklahoma in a lopsided quarterfinal at the Big 12 tournament. The Longhorns, who beat Oklahoma for the third time this season and 11th in 13 meetings, led by as many as 25 and never let the Sooners (14-18) get closer than 13 after that. Hamilton had 22 points and 10 rebounds, and Thompson totaled 13 points and 11 boards for second-seeded Texas (26-5), which lost three of its last five in the regular season to finish second in the Big 12 behind Kansas. No. 11 Syracuse 79, No. 17 St. John’s 73 NEW YORK — Brandon Triche had a season-high 22 points and freshman center Fab Melo scored a career-high 12, including two layups in the final 2 minutes, to help Syracuse beat St. John’s in the Big East quarterfinals. Melo, a 7-foot native of Brazil who has been inconsistent in his rookie season, gave the fourth-seeded Orange (266) the lead for good at 70-68 with a layup off an inbounds pass with 2 minutes left. He added another layup on a bounce pass from Triche that made it 74-70 with 32 seconds left. Dwight Hardy had 22
points for the Red Storm (21-11), who reached the quarterfinals with a controversial win over Rutgers. No. 16 Arizona 78, Oregon State 69 LOS ANGELES — Derrick Williams scored 22 points and Arizona rode its 3-point shooting to a victory over Oregon State in the Pac-10 tournament quarterfinals. The top-seeded Wildcats (26-6) advanced to play fourth-seeded Southern California in Friday’s semifinals at Staples Center. Kevin Parrom added 13 points, helping the Wildcats end a three-year skid in the tourney quarterfinals. A year ago, they lost to UCLA and finished 16-15, ending the school’s streak of 25 consecutive NCAA tournament appearances. Now, Arizona remains on track to add its first league tourney title since 2002 to the regular-season championship it wrapped up last weekend. Hall of Fame coach Lute Olson, who began the school’s NCAA tourney streak in 1985, was in the crowd. Colorado 87, No. 19 Kansas State 75 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Cory Higgins scored 28 points, Alec Burks had 24 and Colorado beat Kansas State for the third time this season, ousting the Wildcats in the Big 12 tournament quarterfinals. Colorado (21-12), after losing nine in a row to Kansas State, was the only team to beat the streaking Wildcats (22-10) in their final nine games. The latest win was a big one for the Buffaloes as they try to secure an NCAA tournament bid.

Heat beats Lakers Associated Press MIAMI — The first chore for the Miami Heat is done: They’re in the playoffs. That’s no surprise. Snapping a five-game slide by beating the NBA’s hottest team to get there, well, that might not have been what everyone saw coming. Chris Bosh scored 24 points, Dwyane Wade added eight of his 20 in the fourth quarter and the Heat ended their losing streak by beating the two-time defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers 94-88 on Thursday night, the earliest Miami has secured a postseason bid in franchise history. LeBron James finished with 19 points, nine assists and eight rebounds for the Heat, and Mike Miller scored 12 for Miami. Kobe Bryant scored 24 points for the Lakers, whose eight-game winning streak was snapped. Pau Gasol
added 20 and Andrew Bynum finished with 13 points and 12 rebounds for Los Angeles. There were so many subplots surrounding this game — the winning streak, the losing streak, Miami’s frustration levels, and so on — that it didn’t need more drama. Lakers coach Phil Jackson provided some before tipoff anyway. Jackson — who’s shown a flair for poking the Heat more than once this season — said before the game that he doesn’t like how Miami plays, even likening its style to an Xbox video game. “I’m not a big fan of the style that Miami plays,” Jackson said. He might like it less now, after the Heat finished off a season sweep of the defending champions. The final minutes hardly seemed like a team with an eight-game winning streak facing a team on a five-game losing streak.

FroM 1B He can enjoy the experience for a day longer, thanks to some noteworthy scoring balance. BC had three players score at least 20 points in an 81-67 victory against Wake Forest on Thursday in the first round of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. Reggie Jackson scored 27 points, Joe Trapani added 22 and Biko Paris had 21 for the fifth-seeded Eagles (20-11). They shot nearly 54 percent on 29-of-54 shooting, made 10 3-pointers and used a huge first-half run to beat Wake Forest for the second time this week. That BC probably boosted its NCAA tournament chances with the win was of little concern to Donahue, whose previous two Division I coaching stops were in the Ivy League — which doesn’t determine its champion with a tournament. “I always wondered, when coaches were in these conference tournaments — this is my first — (why) they were worried about the NCAA tournament,” Donahue said. “I love a clear mind. That would really bother me, thinking about those types of things.” The Eagles will face fourth-seeded Clemson on Friday in a quarterfinal matchup of NCAA bubble teams. The Tigers beat BC 77-69 on Feb. 8 in Clemson, S.C. “We’re not really worried about the NCAA tournament right now,” Jackson said. “We’re just ... trying to get a little revenge, a little payback.” Virginia Tech 59, Georgia Tech 43 Malcolm Delaney scored 15 points and Virginia Tech beat Georgia Tech 59-43 on Thursday night in the first round of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament.

Eric Green had 11 points for the Hokies, who took a decisive step toward their first NCAA tournament berth since 2007. It appeared to be a foregone conclusion that
Virginia Tech would make the field nearly two weeks ago when it knocked off thenNo. 1 Duke. But consecutive headscratching losses to Boston College and Clemson appeared to place the Hokies back on the bubble. According to an unofficial online replication of the RPI formula, coach Seth Greenberg’s team entered at No. 64 against the 85th-best schedule. Delaney, an all-ACC guard who’s second in the league in scoring, seemed to put the Hokies on his shoulders early in this one. He blew past the Yellow Jackets for a layup while being bumped on one possession, then pulled up over them for a pretty jumper the next time down the court. Delaney’s layup made it 12-2 and put the Hokies up by double figures to stay.
Pirates stun top-seeded UAB Associated Press EL PASO, Texas — Darrius Morrow finished with 22 points, including six in overtime, and East Carolina upset No. 1 seed Alabama-Birmingham 75-70 Thursday in the quarterfinals of the Conference USA tournament. Morrow added 14 rebounds, and Jontae Sherrod scored 22 as well for the eighth-seeded Pirates (18-14), who lost twice to the Blazers in the regular season, including by 18 Saturday. Aaron Johnson had a career-high 39 points for UAB (22-8) and was 12 of 22 from the field (54.5 percent), but the rest of the Blazers shot a combined 9 of 43 (20.9 percent). The game went into OT after UAB hit 3-of-4 free throws in the final 13 seconds to tie it at 57. East Carolina then started the extra period with a 165 run, and the Blazers never recovered. East Carolina will face Memphis in the semifinals today.
NFL WASHINGTON — The tension and stakes rose in the NFL labor talks with only a day left before the twice-extended collective bargaining agreement expires, increasing the possibility of the league losing games to a work stoppage for the first time in nearly a quarter-century. With the two sides far apart on key economic issues, nine of the 10 members of the owners’ labor committee joined NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Thursday at the office of the federal mediator overseeing the talks — but, the union said, none of the owners met with any players. Even though there were small-group negotiations between NFL and union representatives, no one gave any indication that progress was made. Indeed, the loudest words came in the evening, during a series of back-andforth barbs sparked by league general counsel and lead negotiator Jeff Pash’s comments. “Things can come together quickly. Things can fall apart quickly,” Pash said when the
NFL negotiating team left for the day. “I’ve said it many times: If both sides have an equal commitment to getting this deal done, it will get done. I don’t know if both sides have an equal commitment. ... Obviously, we have the commitment.”
NCAA FOOTBALL ATHENS, Ga. — Quarterback Aaron Murray says his right ankle was pain-free in Georgia’s first spring practice on Thursday. Murray suffered a mild sprain in a pickup soccer game a couple of weeks ago. He says he felt great, “no pain at all.” The Bulldogs are coming off a 6-7 season, their first losing record in 14 years. Coach Mark Richt says he liked what he saw from tailback Washaun Ealey, who was suspended three weeks from football activities after reporting late for a scheduled punishment run. Richt says “he busted his tail” and “gave great effort, probably as good as anyone.” With spring break beginning Saturday, Georgia will be off the next 11 days. The Bulldogs’ spring scrimmage is April 16 at Sanford Stadium.
NHL BOSTON — Brad Boyes scored 3:44 into overtime and the Buffalo Sabres came back from two deficits to beat the Boston Bruins 4-3 on Thursday night. The victory put the Sabres in a seventh-place tie with the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference with 74 points and two games in hand. But the Rangers have two more wins. The Bruins lost their third straight game after winning seven in a row. It was their first since a 4-1 loss in Montreal on Tuesday night in which the Canadiens’ Max Pacioretty sustained a severe concussion and a cracked vertebra when hit by Zdeno Chara. Flyers 3, Maple Leafs 2 TORONTO — Brian Boucher made 27 saves and Claude Giroux’s second-period goal stood up as the winner in Philadelphia’s victory over
Toronto. Andrej Meszaros and Darroll Powe also scored for Eastern Conference-leading Philadelphia, playing without top defenseman Chris Pronger because of an undisclosed upper-body injury. Mikhail Grabovski and Joffrey Lupul scored for Toronto. The Maple Leafs have lost three straight, hurting their bid to climb into playoff position. Senators 2, Panthers 1 SUNRISE, Fla. — Defenseman Erik Karlsson scored twice in the final 8:48 for Ottawa and former Florida backup Craig Anderson stopped 33 shots. Anderson came within 4:13 of his second shutout since being acquired from Colorado on Feb. 18. Defenseman Clay Wilson scored for Florida.
Associated Press From around spring training... CLEARWATER, Fla. — Roy Halladay and CC Sabathia both pitched like aces Thursday and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Yankees 7-0. Halladay threw six shutout innings, holding the Yankees to four hits. The NL Cy Young winner walked none and struck out two. Sabathia blanked the Phillies on three hits for five innings. He also walked none and fanned two. John Mayberry hit a tworun homer, his third of spring training. Before the game, 85-yearold Hall of Famer Yogi Berra tripped and fell in the Yankees’ clubhouse. He went to the hospital as a precaution and was later released. Also, Phillies manager Charlie Manuel agreed to a two-year contract extension through 2013. Giants 7, Reds 0 GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Madison Bumgarner struck out six in four scoreless innings and the San Francisco Giants hit three quick home runs off Bronson Arroyo in a win over the Cincinnati Reds. Bumgarner retired the first 10 Reds before Brandon Phillips singled in the fourth. That was the only hit allowed by Bumgarner, who walked none. Andres Torres, Freddy Sanchez and Cody Ross homered against Arroyo in a four-run third inning. White Sox (ss) 7, Rangers 6 SURPRISE, Ariz. — White Sox right fielder Dayan Viciedo is expected to miss two to four weeks after he left Chicago’s split-squad victory over the Texas Rangers with a broken right thumb. Viciedo, who was having a terrific spring, was hit by a changeup from Dave Bush in the eighth inning, forcing him out of the game. Dodgers 8, Padres 2 GLENDALE, Ariz. — Dodgers reliever Jonathan
AssociAted Press
Phillies pitcher roy Halladay fires to first base in the Philadelphia’s 7-0 win against the Yankees thursday. Broxton struggled, failing to get through an inning as Los Angeles lost to the San Diego Padres. The All-Star closer lost his job last year, and had trouble with the Padres. He gave up a leadoff home run to Jarrett Hoffpauir and allowed three hits overall, walking one batter and hitting another. Rays 8, Red Sox 6 PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. — All-Star outfielder Carl Crawford returned to the spring home of the Tampa Bay Rays and went 1 for 3 during a loss to the team he helped win two of the past three AL East championships. Crawford played nine seasons for the Rays before signing a $142 million, seven-year contract with the Red Sox this winter. Braves 2, Cardinals 1 KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Kyle McClellan tried to bolster his bid for a spot in the St. Louis rotation, pitching four innings in the Cardinals’ loss to the Atlanta Braves. McClellan gave up one run and three hits. A full-time reliever last year, he is trying to earn the No. 5 spot. The Cardinals need another starter after Adam Wainwright had season-ending surgery.

GOLF COLUMBIA, S.C. — If the state’s only PGA tournament can’t quickly find a future sponsor, South Carolina legislators could help. The state faces the prospect of losing the Heritage golf tournament on Hilton Head Island — and the tens of millions of dollars it pumps into the economy. Next month’s event marks the first time in 25 years without main sponsor Verizon, which announced 18 months ago its backing would cease after 2010. The deadline for the tournament’s survival is approaching. A future sponsor must be found soon after the April 2124 event, said Simon Fraser, chairman of the Heritage Classic Foundation, which hosts the event and contracts with the PGA. “It can’t drag out very long,” he said Thursday. “We’re diligently looking for a title sponsor. Everybody’s still hopeful. It’s been a longer process than anybody anticipated.” A bill put on hold for debate on the House floor until at least March 29 is designed to save the springtime tradition, if that becomes necessary. The so-called skeleton bill has no details.
Cubs 2, Indians 1 MESA, Ariz. — Randy Wells and Andrew Cashner bolstered their chances of making the Chicago Cubs’ rotation with solid outings in a victory over the Cleveland Indians. Wells tossed four innings of one-hit ball. He hasn’t allowed an earned run in nine spring innings. Cashner also pitched four innings, holding the Indians to Jayson Nix’s homer in the sixth inning. Blue Jays 7, Twins 4 FORT MYERS, Fla. — Speedy outfielder Rajai Davis showed he has some power, too, going 3 for 4 with a home run and three RBIs for the Toronto Blue Jays in a win over the Minnesota Twins. Davis stole 50 bases for the Oakland Athletics last season. He came to the Blue Jays in a November trade for a pair of minor leaguers. Davis doesn’t have a steal yet this spring, but he has two homers. Twins closer Joe Nathan, continuing his comeback from elbow surgery last March, pitched a scoreless fifth inning. Mets (ss) 9, Marlins 4 JUPITER, Fla. — Florida Marlins right-hander Anibal Sanchez was hit by a groundball during a loss to a Mets’ split squad, bruising his right calf.

Sickly son worries his mother DEAR DR. GOTT: My son is 60-plus years old and has been reasonably healthy. He has been hospitalized a couple of times for pneumonia. Unfortunately, he still smokes. Over the past few years, he has developed a visible constant shaking of his body, particularly DR. PETER noticeable in his arms and GOTT hands, even when he is eating. He is married and has no children. Seeing him during the holidays, my husband (his stepdad) and I were shocked at his appearance. He has always been a handsome man. Now, apart from the frightening, continuous shaking, he has a sick, unhealthy color, with his face blotchy and gray. His eyes are rather sullen and baglike. He coughs occasionally, sometimes almost choking. When asked, his wife said he has been to the doctor, had a few preliminary tests and is fine. “They could find nothing wrong with him.” My husband and I love them both, and we are so worried about my son. What can we do? He has always been a dear man, and we are just sick over this. DEAR READER: Tremors are unintentional muscle movements that commonly affect the hands, arms, legs, head, face and other areas of the body. There are more than 20 types of tremor that are often caused by difficulties in parts
Keep your eyes and mind open for new fields that could generate larger earnings for you in the year ahead. Some kind of longrange material prospects that hold favorable transformations are in the works for you. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Follow your basic instincts, because financial situations are trending in your favor. They could take you into a situation that would make or save you a lot of cabbage. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Both planned and spontaneous developments will bring you a great deal of enjoyment. Follow your plans but have enough flexibility to take advantage of the little surprises of life. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — If you see that your associates are managing matters in a competent manner, don’t rock the boat in any way. Relax and let them handle things for a change. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Some close friends you haven’t seen much of lately are just as eager to see you as you are to see them. Be the initiator and contact them about getting together very soon. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Fortunate developments concerning your work or career are stirring for you at this point in time, and are likely to be of great significance. Take positive action on what goes down. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Without even trying, you’ll command the respect of your peers. It is likely to be the impact from your words and concepts that will bear the sweet, sweet fruit. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — This is likely to be a day full of nice surprises and fulfilled expectations. Someone who has your best interests at heart will go out of his/her way to do helpful things for you. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — You won’t have to project yourself into a situation that could enable you to function as a broker or middleman — you’ll be drafted into the position. Profitable developments will come of it. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — It might take certain challenges to stimulate your juices where your work or career is concerned, but once revved up, you’ll take care of business. The trappings of power won’t frighten you. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Choose to hang out with companions who are optimistic and adventuresome. Chilling with people who are too reserved could squash your wonderful enthusiasm. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — This is likely to be the day you’ve been looking for to present a matter to your family that requires their consent. Their positive mood could produce the accord you need. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Mental exercises have excellent chances of being productive and successful for you. Being a fast thinker with sound judgment, your disclosures will win the support of others. United FeatUre Syndicate

of the brain that control muscles. They occur at any age but are more common in middle-aged and older men and women. The cause of body shaking (tremors) depends on which body parts are involved. Simple possibilities include a feeling of apprehension or nervousness brought on by an event that occurred or is pending; prescribed drugs such as stimulants and amphetamines with shaking as a side effect; the excessive use of alcohol or withdrawal from it; or stroke, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease. Beyond the body shaking, you indicate your son continues to smoke and cough, his complexion is gray and he appears unhealthy. This is of more concern to me from a medical point of view. He may have cardiac abnormalities, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or other more ominous problems. If his wife indicates he is fine, it would likely be in his best interest to make an appointment with another physician for a complete examination, blood work, Xrays, an EKG and anything else the doctor deems appropriate. My guess is that he should also consult a top-notch neurologist, who can get to the bottom of his tremors and get him back on track. You have your hands full. Speak with your son, but keep it short and sweet. You are concerned, you love him, and you want him around for many more years. Ask him to seek medical help as a favor to you (and to him and his wife) to ensure this. Help is
out there. He simply has to reach out and help himself. Good luck.

Calvin Coolidge said, “Never go out to meet trouble. If you will just sit still, nine cases out of 10 someone will intercept it before it reaches you.” At the bridge table, look out for trouble; otherwise, nine times out of 10 you will fail to make your contract. In today’s deal you need to win nine tricks to make three no-trump. What would you do after West leads the club jack? For serious partnerships, play that if opener raises a one-no-trump response to two no-trump, it is natural and game-forcing. This permits responder to show a long suit at the three-level (with a transfer bid!).
You start with seven top tricks: two spades, two diamonds and three clubs. You might get two more winners from spades, but a 3-3 break
is unlikely. Better is to get those extra winners from hearts. But because you are short of hand entries, take the first trick on the board and call for the heart king. Even if West ducks this trick, takes the second heart, and returns a club, you can take it in your hand and drive out the heart queen to establish nine winners. Yes, you can make the contract after winning trick one in your hand, but it requires good guesswork.

Roseanne Barr, neighbors in Hawaii enter mediation over grading work WAIMEA, Hawaii (AP) — Roseanne Barr and her Hawaii neighbors appeared in court Thursday and agreed to enter mediation after the comedian sought a temporary restraining order against the couple. District Court Judge Melvin Fujino on Thursday ordered the parties to return to court on April 14. Barr sought legal action against Roree and Richard Oehlman, who own property next to Barr’s 46-acre macadamia nut farm in Honokaa on the northern end of the Big Island, after they filed a complaint about unauthorized grading work being done on the farm. Barr accused the Oehlmans of harassment

Wet and snowy weather will continue across the Northeast and Great Lakes, while snow returns to the Northern Rockies on Friday. A low pressure system that brought heavy rain to the East Coast on Thursday continues pushing northeastward over towards Quebec. Counter-clockwise flow around this system will pull cold and moist air into the Great Lakes and Ohio River Valley. High temperatures will drop back into the 30s, allowing for snow to develop across the region. Due to flow from the north, lake effect snow showers will develop along the southern shores of the lakes. Expect to 3 to 5 inches of snow across northern Ohio, while northeastern Michigan, northwestern Pennsylvania, and eastern New York will see 1 to 3 inches of lake effect snow. The Appalachians will also see 1 to 2 inches of new snow, with more at highest elevations. High temperatures will remain in the 40s and 50s across the Eastern Seaboard, thus, rain showers will persist across these areas. Cool overnight temperatures will allow for some freezing rain across New England early Friday morning, with rainfall totals ranging from 1 to 2 inches by evening. Flood advisories remain in effect across the Northeastern quarter of the nation. Meanwhile in the West, a low pressure system and associated cold front that triggered heavy snow and periods of heavy rain over the Pacific Northwest will continue moving eastward along the US and Canadian border. This system will bring significant snow to the Northern Rockies on Friday, with snowfall accumulation up to a foot in many areas. Winter weather advisories have been issued across the region, thus, please take caution when driving over high mountain passes.
