Tax increase for RCCC renovations split over three years Voters approved bond package last fall BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
County commissioners agreed Monday to split financing of the $12 million community college bond, allowing the county to raise the property tax rate by a quarter cent in the next year. “A quarter cent in fiscal year 2012 is as palatable as can be, considering the 1.25 cent tax increase approved by voters,” said Chad Mitchell, chairman of the Rowan County Board of Commissioners. To fund the college bond, the county would raise the property tax rate by a
quarter cent in the fiscal year beginning July 1, and an additional half cent in each of the next two fiscal years. This would stretch out the proposed 1.25 cent increase over three years. The county’s current property tax rate is 59.5 cents per $100 of assessed value. Finance Director Leslie Heidrick told the board she contacted officials from the Local Government Commission to discuss financing the $12 million bond for RowanCabarrus Community College and another $10 million to $12 million for communications equipment.
Heidrick said that a local government can borrow no more than $10 million in a calendar year to be bank qualified and earn a better interest rate. “The recommendation back from the LGC was to do $10 million for the communications project in this calendar year,” Heidrick said. “In January 2012, we would do $6 million for the community college, and the following January, we would do the remaining $6 million.” Communications equipment already is funded through a quarter cent sales tax previously approved by voters. Commissioner Jim Sides
said the board in 2013 could decide if it wants to raise taxes that last half cent, which it wouldn’t need to if additional revenue would cover debt-service payments. The $12 million bond will pay for safety and accessibility improvements to the campus, a new two-story addition for Allied Health programs and new fire training grounds. A majority of voters passed the bond referendum in November. Heidrick said according to the spending schedule providJon C.

bout once a year, Carrie McCanless Hammer would open up her home at Goslar Farm to display her latest works. The low-key art shows would draw large crowds, including many of the students Hammer taught over the decades in Rowan County. Rachel Sloop Fesperman was one of those students. Before Rachel married and started a family with Bo Fesperman, she took one-on-one art lessons for several years with the Paris-trained Hammer. The teacher guided Rachel MARK her other students and WINEKA through their copies of the old masters, encouraging them to read books about the painters they were imitating. The close, creative work forged lifelong friendships. Many of the students were still visiting and painting with Hammer at her death in 1957, when she was 83. Rachel Fesperman died in 2004, but the paintings she did as a Hammer student are among daughter Barbara Upright’s most prized possessions, even though her art career was relatively short. “The minute my twin sister and I were born,” Upright says, “she put down the paintbrush.” Upright and Rowan Museum curator Mary Jane Fowler, a great niece of Hammer’s, are certain that Hammer and her students have left behind a legacy of artwork that would make for an interesting local exhibit, if the pieces could be rounded up.

SALISBURY — The federal government will give Salisbury $170,000 to come up with a plan for transforming the West End neighborhood, including demolishing and rebuilding Civic Park Apartments. The money will pay for a one-year study about how best to redevelop the West End, including hiring architects and consultants and engaging the community, said Sam Foust, director for the Salisbury Housing Authority. “We’re certainly honored and humbled, and hopefully we can put together a very competitive vision and do good things for our community,” Foust said. The West End is generally defined as Caldwell Street to Brenner Avenue, bounded by West Innes Street to the north and following Old

United Way falls misses goal, but donations beat last year’s BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
The Rowan County United Way fell short of its fundraising goal, but the agency brought in more money than last year. “While we did not make our goal, it was certainly a positive to raise more than we did the year before,” said United Way Campaign and Marketing Director Jackie Harris. The total amount that came in for this year’s campaign was $1.56 million, a 1.7 percent increase over last year. The campaign goal was $1.65 million. Harris called it a step in the right direction. “The economy has not changed much, but it’s a compliment to the

community, the board leadership, volunteers and the agencies,” she said. The campaign tally was announced Monday during the United Way’s annual meeting, which was held at the Holiday Inn. The guest speaker was Marvin Pittman, former senior assistant to the state superintendent of public schools and former PITTMAN director of school improvement for the Department of Public Instruction. He also taught math and science in Wake County and served as principal.

Pittman discussed the United Way’s role in education and about the grant it received to explore the issue of teacher effectiveness. He said the community should ask the question whether the most effective teachers are in areas where they are most needed. Pittman encouraged the community to ask how their school system ranks. “When I look at your data, this community has quite a few students who are struggling,” Pittman said. The problems extend beyond Rowan County, he said. There are students who graduate from high schools across the state who are not prepared for life and the workworld, he said. He said the community needs to more to support teach-

A warrant has been issued for an East Spencer man wanted in the shooting of a Salisbury man on Sunday. Salisbury Police are looking for Henry Lee Wilder Jr., 24. The victim, Jerome Allison, 26, was shot in both legs, and hit in the mouth, causing severe injuries. Police said he was flown to Wake Forest University Baptist Med- WILDER ical Center and had surgery on both legs, and had his mouth wired shut. According to the report, Allison was at 637 Linn Lane early Sunday when Wilder stopped by and the two men began arguing. Police said the dispute was over a woman. Wilder then pulled out a gun and shot Allison, the report said. Allison was taken to the hospital by someone at the apartment, then flown to Baptist. Wilder has been previously convicted of several charges of carrying a concealed weapon.

the end of the year. Rowan County would front that money and reimburse itself once it borrows the first $6 million. Commissioner Raymond Coltrain made a motion to approve a declaration of official intent to reimburse expenditures. He asked if the college could proceed with the projects on schedule, and Heidrick said it could. Chairman Chad Mitchell asked that the schedule be attached to the declaration to make it clear that the county expects money to be spent according to that timeline. Coltrain agreed to amend his motion.

broadband technology. last year Salisbury launched Fibrant, a cityowned broadband network. During the next year, Foust and the city’s planning department under the direction of Joe Morris will develop partnerships for West End transformation with the VA Medical Center, Salisbury Community Development Corporation, SalisburyRowan Community Action Agency Inc., Rowan-Salisbury Schools, Salisbury Parks & Recreation Department and more. Stogner Architecture will serve as the planning coordinator. “We will work to develop plans that would transform the whole West End neighborhood into a viable community,” Foust said.

Sides said he isn’t opposed to the projects but thinks only the work to improve safety and ADA compliance needs to be done immediately. “I have reservations related to the new building and fire training center, and my biggest reservation is doing all three projects at one time,” Sides said. Commissioner Carl Ford said he wasn’t comfortable with the wording of the declaration because it says the maximum amount of debt incurred “is expected to be” $12 million. He and Sides both said it should read “no more than” $12 million. The motion was approved 4-1, with Sides dissenting. Ford abstained from the vote, so he was automatically counted in the affirmative.
Plank Road. Salisbury is the smallest of 17 cities to win a 2010 Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Other winners include Baltimore, Philadelphia, Atlanta and Buffalo. Jackson, Tenn., is the next smallest city, with a population of about 65,000. Nearly 120 cities applied. After a year, cities will submit their plans to HUD and compete for grants of up to $30 million to implement the ideas. U.S. Rep. Mel Watt, D12th, toured the dilapidated Civic Park Apartments last year and suggested Salisbury apply for the grant. Watt and other officials will award $170,000 to the city at 9 a.m. Wednesday at the Salisbury Housing Authority office, 200 S. Martin Luther King Jr. Ave. “I am thrilled,” Mayor Susan Kluttz said. “I knew when I first heard this idea that it was something that really could be perfect for us and help us in so many ways.” With the city facing a $2.7 million budget shortfall next year, the grant couldn’t come at a better time, Kluttz said. Civic Park Apartments, a 72-unit public housing complex, was built in 1953. The city’s oldest housing project, Civic Park suffers from severe deficiencies including failing building structure, water infiltration and substandard electrical systems, according to the city’s grant application. “The city considers West End as its most distressed neighborhood, with a poverty rate of 28 percent, a neighborhood vacancy rate that is nearly five times the county average and a middle school
educational opportunities and more. The Obama Administration wants Choice Neighborhoods to succeed HOPE VI, a grant program that improves housing but not necessarily the surrounding community, Foust said. A Choice Neighborhoods grant, on the other hand, requires collaboration with a variety of agencies, providing more meaningful change for an at-risk community, Foust said. The grant urges communities to build accessible, sustainable housing that includes people from mixed income levels, not just those living in extreme poverty. The grant focuses on providing access to amenities and services, access to education, sustainable neighborhood planning, walkability, cost savings through energy efficiency and access to

that is characterized as lowperforming,” the application said. Knox Middle School serves the area. Kluttz and Foust said they want to alleviate fears expressed last year when the city decided to apply for the planning grant. “I very much understand those fears,” Kluttz said. Some people were concerned about displacement. Residents will continue to have housing while Civic Park Apartments are demolished and rebuilt, Foust said. Initial plans call for replacing Civic Park, which Foust said is crowded onto four acres, with two separate 40unit communities. Construction would occur on existing land as well as new property the city would buy with grant money. The city would build the new complex first and fill it with families from Civic Park, he said. Other families would move to open units in other public housing facilities before the city demolishes Civic Park, he said. People also expressed fears about losing the neighborhood’s history. Kluttz said urban renewal in the 1960s, although well-intended, stripped many communities of their heritage. “I know the effect it had on the Dixonville neighborhood in Salisbury, and a lot of history was lost,” she said. “I think we’ve learned from that.” The city will proceed with caution and sensitivity, Kluttz said, seeking input from the residents along the way. “I don’t want there to be this fear that will happen to the West End community,” she said. “We won’t let it.” In addition to new public housing, the transformation of West End could include new childcare facilities, parks, services for veterans,

Sole public hearing set for increase in firefighting tax BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
Almost all of Rowan County’s 24 volunteer fire departments would have to raise their tax rates to avoid losing money in the next fiscal year, according to county finance officials. If departments choose to raise their rates, residents of those fire districts will have a chance to speak up at the June 6 meeting of the Rowan County Board of Commissioners, the board agreed Monday. Rowan County requires any fire department that wants to raise its district’s tax rate to hold a public hearing on the matter. Commissioner Jon Barber made a motion Monday to waive that requirement in light of the reduced tax base after revaluation. “A huge majority of fire depart-
ments are looking at adjusting tax rate to get back to a revenue neutral situation,” Barber said. He said the board normally sets aside time for a public hearing on the budget at its first meeting in June, and local residents can speak for or against the fire tax rates at that time. Fire departments wanting to go above a revenue neutral rate still would be required to hold their own public hearings. Commissioner Raymond Coltrain seconded the motion, but the other three board members said they’d rather keep the public hearing requirement in place. “Rowan County, for the last three years, has cut its budget every year,” Commissioner Jim Sides said. “We’ve never asked the fire departments to cut anything.” He said many of the departments have surplus funds they could use
to avoid cutting their expenses. He also said the county’s fire departments don’t include in their budgets a yearly “windfall” they receive when the county collects more taxes than projected from their districts. Chairman Chad Mitchell said he couldn’t support eliminating the public hearing requirement, but he could support allowing the hearings to take place at one commissioners’ meeting. “In the past, commissioners have attended those public hearings at the local fire district level,” Mitchell said. “We wouldn’t be able to attend all of those.” Barber then amended his motion to require fire departments setting a higher tax rate to advertise public hearings, which will be held this year during a designated time at the budget public hearing on June 6. It
passed 5-0. Also at Monday’s meeting, a motion by Barber to allow four RuftyHolmes Senior Center employees to buy into the county’s health insurance plan failed with only two votes in favor. Commissioners also clarified that the county will be paying to insure four or five current Rowan County employees transitioning to RuftyHolmes, but they will be covered under the nonprofit’s health plan, not the county’s. Commissioners voted in February to move the Senior Services department under Rufty-Holmes after County Manager Gary Page said the county would save about $132,000 a year. A proposed memorandum of understanding had included a provision that current and transitioning Rufty-Holmes employees would be
covered under the county’s health plan, allowing the nonprofit to get better coverage with lower premiums. Barber said approving this provision, which the board had set aside, would not cost the county any money. Coltrain seconded Barber’s motion, saying the employees should be given something for taking on additional responsibilities, but it failed to gain another vote. Sides said he made the motion Feb. 21 specifically to approve the memorandum of understanding with the exception of the insurance provision. “I think it would set a dangerous precedent for other nonprofits to say they want to get that benefit,” Sides said. “I can’t vote at this time to change that motion without chang-

The full moon Saturday was the largest it has been for 20 years. Our readers take great pictures, and they often share them on our website. A reader who goes by the screen name “it’s just me” took this picture of the “super full moon” Saturday night. Set against the blackness of space, the moon — which was as closer to our planet than it has been in the past two decades — was quite a sight for those who got a view. “It’s just me” has also posted pictures online of sunset on the Blue Ridge Parkway and lightning flashing across the sky above Rowan County.

Couple home from hospital after deadly house fire BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com
S49245
Joey and Samantha Doolittle are home from the hospital, but must start their lives over, and start over without their 10-weekold son, Jacob, who died in the family’s East Spencer home after it caught fire early Friday morning. Joey and Samantha were flown to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center for severe burns after trying to save Jacob from the fire.
Every belonging Joey, Samantha and their three-year-old son, Zachary, was lost in the fire. “We lost everything,” Samantha said Monday afternoon. The Doolittles were S. DOOLITTLE trying to finalize funeral arrangements Monday, they said, but have an immediate concern. They have no way of paying for the more
than $3,000 cost of Jacob’s funeral. “We need help with the head stone, graveyard, funeral,” Samantha said. The Doolittles are staying with family in the area until they can get back on their feet. And the Elizabeth Hanford Dole Chapter of the American Red Cross is helping them with food and clothing, and also donating a portion of the funeral costs. A donation account is also being established at a local bank by the Red Cross to help with the family’s expenses, and will be set up this week.
A Salisbury woman is in critical condition after her Ford Explorer rolled over several times and hit a telephone pole, throwing her through her windshield Friday morning on Old Mocksville Road. Julie Keels, of Salisbury, and a sociology major at Catawba College, was in stable but critical condition Monday afternoon in the intensive care unit of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. According to Salisbury Police, Keels crashed at 8 a.m. Friday morning, and was flown to Wake shortly after. She suffered head injuries, but other injuries were unknown Monday night. Alexis Stephens, Keels’ best friend, has formed a Facebook KEELS page for Keel — Thoughts and Prayers for Julie — and she said prayers are encouraged. “First and foremost, Julie’s family is so grateful for the outpouring of support and prayers for Julie,” she said. Prayers are what Catawba College has provided and plan to continue since Friday. According to Tonia Black-Gold, Catawba’s communications director, Chaplain and Senior Vice President, Dr. Ken Clapp, and Dean of Students, Ben Smith, traveled to Baptist Monday to visit with Keels’ family, “and the family was appreciative of their concern,” she said. Today, students and faculty will be able to sign a large card for Keels, that will be set up in the Leonard Lounge of the Cannon Student Center. At 10 p.m., the school plans to hold a worship service for Keels. The Facebook page for Keels has also been featured on Catawba’s Facebook page, for others to join. “Obviously, all of our thoughts are prayers here on campus are with Julie and her family,” BlackGold said. “We pray for her speedy recovery and that her family can find hope and comfort in these difficult days ahead.” Susan King, a member of First Baptist Church of Salisbury, calls Keels a “very loving and caring person.” As a teenager, Keels volunteered to help King with the 5-year-old class for Vacation Bible School. “They would just climb into her lap,” King said. “She has this joy in her; kids were just drawn to that.” King says she kept in touch with her since because Keels “is just so wonderful to be around.” “It was so shocking to hear about the accident,” King said. “(Keels’ family) is a very special part of our church, so it’s really affected a lot of people. “We’re just relying on the lord to see them through it and bring good out of it.” Posts on “Thoughts and Prayers for Julie,” included 390 members Monday night, with friends, family, and even Catawba classmates who admit they’ve never met Keels, but posted that they will all be praying for her. Keels’ father, Steven Keels, wrote on the group’s wall about 9 a.m. Monday saying that from 2 a.m. until 5 a.m. Monday, Keels received an “emergency surgery to save her life.”

Cabarrus plans to terminate contract with Jackson Park Fire Dept. BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com
CONCORD — A divided Cabarrus Board of Commissioners voted Monday to begin the process of ending the county’s contract with Jackson Park Volunteer Fire Dept. Depending on how the county proceeds, some homeowners could see their insurance rates go up as a result. By law, the letter stating intent not to renew the contract has to be sent 90 days before the current contract expires — in this case, by April 1. The 57-year-old volunteer fire department’s district is now surrounded by city fire departments in Concord and Harrisburg. Bobby Smith, the county’s director of emergency management, said that Jackson Park VFD is no longer able to attract enough volunteers and doesn’t have the resources to continue long-term. Deputy Chief Richard Mauney told commissioners he wouldn’t argue that the department needs assistance. But he asked for more time to allow them to possibly make a deal with another agency, perhaps maintaining a presence in the community they have served for so long. Dropping the contract in July would hurt those chances while only saving the county $30,000.
“We know were going to close. We know it’s inevitable. We are just asking for time,” Mauney said. And he took issue with the idea that the department couldn’t serve the area. “Our volunteers come out in force. We have never missed a call, never,” Mauney said. And, he said, volunteers have as much certification as their comrades at other departments. “We are the third oldest department in the county,” Mauney said. “We’re not fighting. All were asking is to delay it.” Under questioning from commissioners, Smith stated that Jackson Park VFD had not failed to respond to a call and served the area adequately. But, he said, other departments would be better equipped to do so. Commissioner Larry Burrage, citing the department’s long record of service, made a motion not to send the cancellation notice. But that motion failed, with a vote of 2-to-3. Commissioner Bob Carruth joined Burrage in supporting the motion. While making a motion to go ahead and send the cancellation letter, Vice Chairman Liz Poole said she needed more information. Because the cancellation notice can be revoked at any time,
she asked to hear possible alternatives at the May work session. Her motion to send the notice with that condition passed on a vote of 3-to-2. Burrage and Carruth cast the “no” votes. Local residents and businesses have a financial stake in the county’s eventual decision. The amount of fire coverage affects property owners’ fire insurance costs. The Insurance Service Office assigns a 1-to-10 rating to fire districts in North Carolina based on coverage available in the area. A class 1 area has the best fire protection, while class 10 means not even a minimum level of protection. Homeowners’ insurance rates don’t drop automatically when an area gets better than class 6. Jackson Park Fire Department is rated class 5, Mauney said. The Concord Fire Dept. is rated class 3 for areas inside the city limits. Current rating information for Harrisburg Fire Dept. could not be determined before press time. The most recent information shows Harrisburg’s best-rated areas at class 5, with lower ratings elsewhere in the coverage area. Mauney said it was possible that homeowners in the area
currently covered by Jackson Park could see higher insurance premiums if the department closes. It’s likely that businesses in the area would see their rates go down if Concord or Harrisburg took over coverage of the Jackson Park fire district. But homeowners’ insurance rates don’t automatically change once an area reaches class 6 or better. So, it’s not guaranteed that Concord or Harrisburg taking over fire coverage would bring homeowners’ insurance bills down. Speaking outside the meeting room after the board voted, Mauney said local residents had been blindsided by the decision. He took issue with the idea that Jackson Park VFD wasn’t able to provide top-notch service, and said many volunteers live just minutes away from the fire station. Mauney said talks were ongoing, but no deal was final. More importantly, Mauney said, local residents were just hearing that their fire station might close. He said it was important to give them time to know what was happening and to adjust. “We’ve got people were trying to look out for,” Mauney said.

In other business The Cabarrus County Commissioners: • The board voted 3-to-2 to extend a tax incentive grant to 390 Business Boulevard, LLC. The company plans to build an 88,000-square-foot building, which could be expanded, in an effort to draw an investor to the area. Ryan McDaniels of the Cabarrus Economic Development Corp. said that a potential tenant will be visiting the site later this month. Commissioner Chris Measmer opposed the measure, saying he was ideologically opposed to government “involving itself in private business.” “By the mere fact that this government body is discussing a private business transaction. we are trying to entice a private business,” Measmer said. “Then God forbid I ever gave my wife flowers and told her ‘Hi, I’m better than the next guy,’” Chairman Jay White said. White said he supported the incentive plan because it could attract businesses who might otherwise not know about the opportunity. The motion passed 3-to-2, with White and Commissioners Liz Poole and Bob Carruth voting in favor of the measure. • The board unanimously approved an updated project ordinance and cost estimate for the new Board of Elections facility in the Old Creamery building. Capital funds for the project total just over $2.4 million. Deputy County Manager Mike Downs said construction should be completed by Aug. 31, allowing about two months for relocation before the November elections. • The board voted to reject a bid from Steven Wright to buy the old Bethel School property for $10. Wright, who plans to found a charity entitled A New Beginning, told the board he planned to hold fundraisers to generate the money to refurbish the property. He said applications for charitable 501(c)(3) status were under way. Board members suggested he should try to bid again if and when he had a stronger business plan and plan for raising funds for the multi-million-dollar project.

Concord, Kannapolis still under water restrictions As spring begins, the cities of Concord and Kannapolis are reminding water customers that they are still under the restrictions adopted in 2009. Salisbury-Rowan Utilities customers, meanwhile, are free to use water any time. Though Cabarrus County and more than half of Rowan County are in moderate drought — and the rest of Rowan is abnormally dry, according to the N.C. Drought Management Advisory Council — Concord and Kannapolis get their water from different sources than Salisbury-Rowan Utilities. Jim Behmer, utilities director for Salisbury, said Rowan is fortunate that its water supply begins 190 miles upstream. “So we’re looking kind of toward the mountains and what they’re drought levels are,” he said. “We’re blessed to have the second-largest river basin in North Carolina, so when it rains in mountains, we’re good down here.” Western North Carolina is not dry at all, according to the state drought monitoring agency. Behmer said Salisbury-Rowan Utilities tracks not only the status of the Upper Yadkin River Basin, but water flowing down the Yadkin River as well. The average is about 2 million gallons a day. Right now, that’s at 1.5 million gallons a day. “We’re in great shape,” he said. “But we do monitor, and we do always advocate good use of water.” For customers of Concord and Kannapolis, who include residents of Landis, Harrisburg and Mount Pleasant, lawn irrigation JIM BEHMER is only allowed on Utilities director Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Violators receive a written notice and could be fined, a press release said. Those cities customers are also allowed to wash cars and wash down outside areas using a hand-held hose or pressure washer, both equipped with a spring-loaded nozzle. They are encouraged to limit the filling, operation or topping off of ornamental fountains and the watering of trees, flowers, shrubs, ornamental plants and vegetable gardens for plant preservation. Automated irrigation services may be installed and activated, the cities said in the press release. Research shows that properly maintained lawns only need one inch of water per week to thrive, and it is best to water during evening and early morning hours, the press release said.
“We’re in great shape. But we do monitor, and we always advocate good use of water.”

Contract terminated: Time for spring cleaning vented Facebook, things might be different. And I don’t need anyone ringing my doorbell trying to sell me on his religion. I have my religious beliefs. I consider them personal. I promise I will never ring their doorbells and pressure them to believe what I do. I expect the same in return. The same for gutters. If I need new gutters, I know where to get them. I don’t need anyone ringing the doorbell telling me he’s in the area “talking with many of my neighbors” about gutters. With spring comes the end of the regular season for college basketball, leading to March Madness. This is often a touchy subject with friends, one in particular. We’ll call him “Alan.” A few weeks ago, we met for breakfast. Alan says, “Duke and Carolina play tonight. You going to watch?” “No.” “You’re not watching? It’s Duke and Carolina!” “I know. Not watching.” “But your daughter graduated from Carolina.” “Well, then maybe she’ll watch it.” “You really should watch.” I explained to him, as I have for 10 years, that I am a casual basketball fan, unlike him. If I wish to watch any of it, I will, but I have no such contract with any school or television network obligating me to watch. I also told him that I was not going to watch a ballet or opera that night, because I have little interest in them as well.
“What are you going to do tonight?” he asked. “I’ll probably watch a movie.” I can’t properly describe in words the look of disgust I saw. “You can watch a movie any time,” he said. “This is Duke and Carolina!” “But I don’t want to watch it. I’d rather do something else.” For the record, this was the game Carolina won, as opposed to the later tournament game in which they were whipped like government mules. When you reach my age, one of the most precious things you have is time. So why use it to do something you don’t want to do, unless you have to? But no hard feelings (refer back to the disclaimer). The same goes for the NFL. I’ll plop down on some Sunday afternoons and watch a little bit of a football game, but not a complete one. I did watch the entire Super Bowl this year but only because I was at a party with friends. And what if there is no NFL on television this fall? I’ll get past it. I hope everyone will. The players and owners are fighting over “issues.” I’ll bet contracts are involved. Chest cleaned off. Now on to the bedroom closet. Mike Cline writes an occasional column for the Post. His website, “Mike Cline’s Then Playing” (www.mikeclinesthenplaying.com), documents the movies which played in Rowan County from 1920 through 1979.

I did business with a satellite television provider for 13 years. Over time, I grew dissatisfied with its customer service (or lack of). The night the service tech asked me to climb on my roof at midnight and adjust my dish to avoid sending a representative to do what I was paying them a monthly maintenance fee to do, along with eventually scheduling me for a service call nine days later, well, that was enough. So I did go up on the roof, but only to rip the dish from my chimney. Contract terminated. Then the calls began. “We’re sorry you have chosen to discontinue our services. To get you back, however, we will offer you some great deals.” I replied, “Why didn’t you offer me great deals when I was a customer?” The kid had no response to my question. I’m guessing nothing about that was written on the index card he was reading aloud to me. And then there is college. My wife and I were fortunate that we were able to finance both of our children through four years of college without student loans. It was a struggle sometimes to write out that tuition check, but we managed. Our contract with the schools was to pay the bills as long as our kids were enrolled. They both graduated. Contracts terminated. So it’s a waste of their time and money to send me letters every month telling me why I should continue to send them money. It’s not going to happen. If I had in-

t last, the calendar says that spring is here. And with the coming of the new season, it’s time for an annual tradition — spring cleaning. So I shall begin with cleaning my chest, as in getting some things off of it. We all have obligations in our lives. Let’s call them “contracts.” The only contracts I have that fall under the category of “lifeMIKE time conCLINE tracts” are those commitments to my family and friends. All the rest have time limits. Before continuing, I am obligated to post the following disclaimer: Just because I have little or no interest in something that others enjoy doesn’t mean I am against it. Or that I hate it. Or your liking something I don’t doesn’t make you an inferior person. Example: If cable or satellite providers wish to program adult movies for subscribers who want them, and I do not, I will not scream that they should remove them from their schedules. Example: If a library has a book in its collection that offended me when I read it, I will not demand that the book be pulled so no one else can read it. Stuff like that. Now back to the regularly scheduled article.

Dear Miss: Fighting with your ex-husband while you wait for the kids to age out of the household is no solution. You should visit your children. Take a family member with you. You either received no (or very poor) legal advice when you gave up all your parental rights to the children. Your ex-husband is the custodial parent. When you relinquished custody you basically turned over these decisions to him. His proposal for you to visit sounds sensible. After you visit the boys, you will be in a better position to judge what would be in their best interest. Dear Amy: I am an agnostic and have a friend who is also agnostic who is dying of cancer. My sister is very Christian, and I spoke with her about my dying friend. My sister sent me an email to forward to this friend about accepting God and Jesus. She said to me it’s like an insurance program — if it’s true and the friend converts, then she goes to heaven, and if it’s not true and she still converts, it doesn’t matter anyway. I have not forwarded the e-mail to my friend yet. My friend has enough on her plate to worry about and probably would not welcome the e-mail. The second problem is that I told my sister I would send the e-mail. If I don’t send it I’m lying to my sister, just to keep her happy. Should I send this e-mail to my friend?
— Bicoastal Sister Dear Sister: It is not your sister’s job to proselytize and propose solutions regarding a dying stranger’s salvation. Nor do you have to lie to your sister. You can tell her that you thought about it and decided not to burden your friend with this particular insurance plan. If your sister must impose her religious beliefs on this situation, you could invite her to pray for your friend and have faith that her prayers will find their mark. Dear Amy: In response to the “Cranky Colleague” letter, I once worked for a boss who refused to listen to a complaint about a co-worker unless both the complainer and the co-worker were in the room together. This made employees work hard to settle differences without going to the boss to complain, and it prevented the boss from being in the middle of alternating accusations. All bets are off, though, where the boss doesn’t have the skill to manage conflict. — Reader in Virginia Dear reader: This is an excellent solution to workplace conflict. Thank you.

Mary says that your summer garden’s in the bag Short of sounding like a broken record, I don’t know how to fully communicate that all of us need to know how to produce at least some of our own food. Apparently, some of you are listening. According to the National Gardening Association, 43 million American families were growing their MARY own food in HUNT 2009. Home gardens are gaining popularity by leaps and bounds. In the past, tending to a backyard garden was more of a hobby than it was a significant source of food, but home gardens are becoming more serious than ever. This is good news for readers who don’t have a backyard, too. Home gardens now come in all shapes and sizes and, I’m learning, even in garbage bags. Clydette Alsup-Egbers, as reported in The Orange County Register, is not only leading a serious research project in home gardening but also doing all she can to put fun back into gardening. By planting directly into a big plastic trash bag contain-
ing potting soil, you can create an instant “garden” that is neat, cheap, quick and ready to thrive anywhere the sun shines. Place the bag in the location you wish; plant in it; and cover it with mulch. The mulch can cover the bag completely and hide it from view. Here are the advantages of Clydette’s no-dig gardening method: • It’s cheap. All you need is a 10- to 15-pound bag of potting soil (such as MiracleGro), a box of garbage bags and seedlings or seeds. Clydette warns against using your native soil in this kind of bag gardening, as topsoil compacts easily and may not drain well. And it might be nutrient-needy, too. Commercial potting soil is the right mix for this kind of growing. • It’s easy. Load up the bag with potting soil, and cinch up the ties to close the open end. Lay it on its side, and slit drainage holes in the sides and bottom. Then cut a few openings on the top for your plants. You’ve created a raised-bed “garden.” • It’s weed-unfriendly. Because you are starting out with good, sterile potting soil, you will not be plagued with weeds trying to choke out your tomatoes, lettuce and beans. We’re talking nearly weed-free gardening.
• It’s vertical. If you stand that bag vertically so the open end becomes the place where you do your planting, you will eliminate the need for stooping or bending. This is an excellent option for things that have deeper root systems, such as tomatoes and potatoes. • It can be indoors. OK, this may sound crazy, but it’s a definite possibility. Use very small bags to grow flowers. Once they’re in full bloom, the entire thing can make an attractive centerpiece inside your home. You easily can disguise the bag by placing it in a pretty box or another vessel and covering it with sphagnum from the craft store. • It’s kid-friendly. Gardens in bags are perfect for kids, the next generation of home gardeners.

Anti-suicide Trevor Project to honor Radcliffe NEW YORK (AP) — Daniel Radcliffe looks forward to a tolerant world where young people grow up unaffected by differences in sexual orientation. For the past couple of years, the “Harry Potter” star has been doing his part to make that a reality with his work with the Trevor Project, the leading organization for suicide prevention efforts among gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered youths. For his contribution, Radcliffe is being honored with the organization’s Hero Award at a ceremony in New York in June. “It’s fantastic,” Radcliffe told the Associated Press. “The fact that they think of what I’ve done by promoting awareness of the Trevor Project itself and the issues that it works to promote and help is a great honor.” The Trevor Hero Award, announced Monday, recognizes a person who serves as an inspiration to sexual minority youths and increases visibility and understanding of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning, or LGBTQ, community. Past Hero Award recipients include screen and stage actor Nathan Lane, screenwriter Dustin Lance Black and former Miss America and “Ugly Betty” actress Vanessa Williams. While privileged to be a part of this group carrying forward the organization’s life-saving work, Radcliffe said he feels a little bashful about it, too. “The people that are doing the heroic things are the people answering phones 24 hours a day in the Trevor call centers,” he said. “I think

Mom caught between visitation schemes Dear Amy: I was married for 10 years and have two beautiful boys with my exhusband. We split up about five years ago, and I gave him custody of the kids because he was stalking me and obsessed with me and would not leave me alone. He is good to the kids, and I needed time to myself to get over the 10 years of punishment of living with him. I see now that that was ASK a big mistake. AMY He took the kids and moved away. He does not say good things about me to the kids. I call every weekend to talk to the boys. They will talk to me, but he won’t pick up the phone or talk to me. He says that when we talk all we do is fight. This is basically true. I asked him if he would send the kids to visit me. I said I would pay half of the expense so the kids could see my family and me. He refuses. He says he thinks I’m going to run off with the children. He says he doesn’t mind my going to where they live to see them, but my family wants to see them too. The boys are almost old enough to make their own decisions (they are 14 and 15). A lawyer told me that since the kids live with their dad, I have to settle things in court. I miss them so much and just want them to visit me here. Should I go to visit? Or should I wait until they are

that out of everything that I’ve done so far in my career, I think this is absolutely one of the most important, if not the most important, thing that I’m associated with.” Radcliffe, currently appearing in the Broadway revival of “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,” says audience members often acknowledge his work with the organization. “I meet people at the stage door every night that thank me for what I’m doing with the Trevor project,” he said proudly. The Trevor Project was founded in 1998 by filmmakers James Lecesne, Peggy Rajski and Randy Stone. Their 1994 film, “Trevor,” about a gay 13-year-old boy who tried to commit suicide after his friends learned of his sexuality, won the Academy Award for Film Short. The film was the catalyst for the birth of the organization after it was shown on HBO in 1998. Radcliffe became aware of the Trevor Project in 2008 during his Broadway debut in a revival of “Equus.” Since 2009, he has appeared in public service announcements and has made public statements in support of the organization. The last installment of the “Harry Potter” franchise, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2,” will be released in June. Along with Radcliffe, who plays the title character in the “Harry Potter” movies,” the Trevor Project will honor Ernst & Young LLP with the Trevor 2020 Award, for a corporation that has provided support for the community and increased understanding of LGBTQ issues.

ALLERGY RELIEF
andy mooney/sAlisbury post
A wide variety of over-the-counter and all-natural remedies are available to help treat symptoms causes by allergies.
Lots of different ways to beat the pollen BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — Ah, springtime. The sun is warm, the birds are coming back, the flowers are starting to bloom. About those flowers: They aren’t a welcome sight for everyone. For many people, they’re a sign of irritating days ahead. Take Casey Haynes of Salisbury, who works at a downtown restaurant. When those flowers start popping on the trees, she knows it’s time to stock up on her meds and tissues. “Pollen is the number one. Pollen is what kills me,” Haynes said. “As long as I take my allergy medicine, it usually doesn’t do too bad. But when the trees start, it gets pretty bad.” The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that nearly 13 million Americans a year visit their doctors for allergyrelated medical care. For many, allergies can be more than just annoying. They can be life threatening. An average of 4,210 people die every year from serious asthma attacks, most of them under the age of 65, according to the CDC. That’s why it’s important to know how serious your allergies are, and to have a strategy in place for preventing those symptoms from threatening your health. Dr. Bradley Chotiner, of Chotiner Family Healthcare in Rockwell, said allergies are the body’s response to something it considers harmful. The common symptoms of allergies — runny nose, sneezing and congestion — are a part of the body’s response system. If the body’s immune response gets out of control, that person can’t function normally. “A lot of people miss work, and they miss time with their families, because of allergies,” Chotiner said. The good news, he said, is that many effective antihistamine drugs, such as Claritin, are now available without a prescription. Then there are corticosteroids, including drugs like Flonase, a nasal spray that helps control the body’s reaction to pollen and other irritants. He said that those two kinds of drugs can help
control most symptoms. In the worst case scenario, a person may have to go to an allergist for tests to determine what exactly is causing the worst reaction. Some people have to take a course of injections to build up their resistance, Chotiner said. But not everyone thinks medicines are the best way to keep allergies at bay. Steve Moreno, owner of Simply Good Natural Foods in Salisbury, said many people want an alternative to prescriptions or over-thecounter medicines. Moreno said he knows how serious these problems can be. “I’m not a doctor, but most people agree that, especially if a person is asthmatic, they are going to be more susceptible to seasonal allergies,” Moreno said. The staff at Simply Good does not diagnose or prescribe medicines, but they offer a variety of herbal and homeopathic remedies. Moreno said that herbs like nettle, lobelia and chamomile can help soothe allergy symptoms when taken as extracts or tea. He also recommends natural raw honey from local beekeepers, which is thought to help control allergies because it contains small doses of pollen. Then there’s the neti pot, a small, teapot-shaped jug used to pour warm saline into the nasal cavity. Regular users swear it helps reduce discomfort by clearing out their sinuses. “It’s a remedy rather than a preventative,” Moreno said. He sells neti pots and packets of sterile saline mix at his shop. Beyond that, Moreno said, he tries to be sure people are living a healthy lifestyle. “We make sure that they’re digesting properly, because some foods can weaken the immune system,” he said. He also advises that people avoid drinking too much caffeine, and try to manage their stress levels. “Stress depletes the immune system, and all that does is cause extra work for the body,” Moreno said. “The immune system gets worn out. It overreacts.” But these products are meant to provide relief from the symptoms of mild to moderate allergies. “If people are really suffering, they ought to check with their doctor,” Moreno said. Doctors are likely to be skeptical about the effectiveness of these natural remedies. Chotiner said he doubts that the natural remedies Moreno named would give much relief. He also said that many

are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat diseases or their symptoms. “There are no legitimate studies showing those to be better,” he said. As for the raw honey: “If you’re eating it, your natural protection is the acid in your stomach,” Chotiner said. In other words, the pollen that’s supposed to help fight off allergies probably won’t even make it into the system. And though some natural remedies do have effective ingredients used in other pharmaceuticals, Chotiner said that the natural forms may not provide a reliable dose. But even with pharmaceutical products, people may find that a remedy that works for a friend or relative won’t work well for them. Finding allergy relief can be a matter of body chemistry or genetics. And even a medicine that works might not be a lifelong solution. Chotiner said that -the intensive allergy shots will wear off after a number of years. Casey Haynes said she relies on medicine to keep her allergies under control.
“Honestly, I’ve never tried any of the natural stuff,” Haynes said. “The doctor had me take Claritin years ago when I was a lot younger. It’s just something that I kind of stuck with.” But over time, the Claritin stopped working as well at controlling her symptoms. She now takes Zyrtec for her allergies. Chotiner said that’s typical. If one of the body’s response paths for allergies is blocked by medication, over time a resistance will develop. Meanwhile, Haynes said her the biggest worry is how this allergy season will affect her 16-month-old son, Ethyn. He suffers a lot when the pollen is heavy. “His eyes swell really big. He gets real puffy in his face, around his eyes,” Haynes said. But because he’s so young, there’s really nothing to do except try to keep him away from pollen on the worst days of the year. “I typically have to change his clothes when he comes inside, and I have to run my humidifier nonstop,” Haynes said. Babies and young children should not be given any allergy remedies — pharmaceutical or natural — without consulting a pediatrician first. As the days of spring get longer, and those April showers start showing up, the pollen will die down. But the other allergens of summer — dust, grass thatch, ozone – will still pose a risk, and people will still need relief. It’s all a matter of what works best to keep the sneezes and sniffles at bay. Contact Hugh Fisher via the editor’s desk at 704-797-4244.
Health law at one year: Future still in question WASHINGTON (AP) — One year after President Barack Obama signed his historic health care overhaul, the law is taking root in the land. Whether it bears lasting fruit is still in question. The legislation established health insurance as a right and a responsibility. Thousands of families, businesses and seniors have benefited from its early provisions. But worries about affordability and complexity point to problems ahead. And that’s assuming it withstands a make-or-break challenge to its constitutionality that the Supreme Court is expected to decide. Public divisions over the law are still so sharp that Americans can’t even agree what to call it. Supporters call it the Affordable Care Act, a shorter form of its unwieldy official title. It’s also known as “Obamacare,” the epithet used by Republicans seeking its demise. While Obama returns from Latin America on the signing anniversary Wednesday, administration officials will fan out across the country. Community commemorations started Monday, underscoring that the health care battle has moved to the states. Even states suing to nullify the law’s requirement that most Americans carry health insurance are proceeding with at least some of the building blocks. Polls show that about one in eight people believe they have been personally helped already, well before the provision kicks in in 2014 to cover millions of uninsured. Interviews with people affected reveal it’s not always clear-cut. In small-town Circleville, N.Y., Patti Schley says one of the dozens of new insurance regulations made a dramatic difference for her family. Her daughter Megan, 23, was out of college, going without insurance as she tried to launch a wedding photography business. Last summer Megan started getting sick and rapidly lost weight. Doctors diagnosed a serious digestive system disorder that would make her uninsurable. But her parents were able to get her into a high-risk insurance pool created under the law, and this year Megan signed up for her father’s workplace plan, under a provision extending coverage for adult children up to age 26. “As a mother of a sick child, you are concerned whether your kid is 4 or 24,” said Schley, an office administrator. “We couldn’t wait for this to kick in.” Things are working out for the Schleys, but the high-risk pools that provided the initial lifeline for Megan are faltering. Nationally, the latest count shows fewer than 12,500 people signed up, mainly because of waiting periods and high premiums. Another mom with an uninsured daughter ran into a Catch22 that illustrates the law’s complexity. Mary Thompson of Overland Park, Kan., was sure the law would finally get 11-year-old Emily on the family’s health insurance. Insurers had repeatedly rejected Emily due to a birth defect of the spine, surgically corrected when she was an infant. The law requires insurers to accept children regardless of preexisting health problems, a safeguard that will extend to people of all ages in 2014. But because Emily’s father is self-employed and the family buys its own coverage, things didn’t work out as expected. Certain “grandfathered” plans selling individual coverage are exempt from the law’s requirement to cover kids. The Thompsons’ plan was one. That meant they would have to apply for a whole new policy, and the mother, a breast cancer survivor, was unlikely to be accepted. “We would have had to start over with me — and I can’t start over,” said Thompson. A social worker helped get Emily into Medicaid.

Libyan no-fly zone widens, but rift develops among allies
SANAA, Yemen (AP) — A top military commander and at least 18 other senior officers defected Monday to the opposition movement demanding the ouster of Yemen’s embattled president, depriving the U.S.-allied ruler of most of his power base. The looming collapse of President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s regime throws into doubt the American campaign against a major al-Qaida wing that plotted attacks in the United States. Monday’s defections led to rival tanks being deployed in the streets of Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, creating a potentially explosive situation and prompting Saleh’s defense minister, Mohammed Nasser Ahmed, to announce the military remained loyal to the longtime leader. The armed forces will counter any plots against the government, Ahmed declared on state television, following a meeting of the National Defense Council, which is led by Saleh and includes Ahmed, the prime minister and the intelligence chief. The defection of Maj. Gen. Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar, a longtime Saleh confidante and commander of the army’s powerful 1st Armored Division, was seen by many as a turning point. It followed a major escalation in the regime’s crackdown on demonstrators, when more than 40 people were killed in bloody clashes Friday. Speaking in Paris, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe called Saleh’s resignation “unavoidable” and pledged “support to all those that fight for democracy.” Tanks, armored vehicles and soldiers directed by al-Ahmar fanned out around the Sanaa square that has become the epicenter of the opposition movement, moving in for the first time to protect demonstrators. Al-Ahmar also sent tanks to the state television building, the Central Bank and the Defense Ministry. Just miles away, at least a dozen tanks and armored personnel carriers belonging to the Republican Guards, an elite force led by Saleh’s son and one-time heir apparent, Ahmed, were deployed outside the presidential palace. The deployment of al-Ahmar’s troops in Sanaa was greeted by wild jubilation from protesters, many of whom posed with soldiers for photographs, greeted them with military style salutes or offered them roses. Calling Al-Ahmar’s defec-

for a declaration of war. “There needs to be a plan about what happens after Gadhafi, who is in charge then, and who pays for this all,” said Lugar, a Republican from Indiana. “With the Arab League having second thoughts and Turkey nixing NATO taking over, there are even more questions. We also have to debate how all this affects the Saudis, Bahrain and Yemen.” Gates, speaking in St. Petersburg, Russia, said the U.S. military’s role would soon shrink. “I expect us very soon to recede back into a supporting role with other nations carrying a significant proportion of the burden in implementing and enforcing the no-fly zone,” the Pentagon chief said. “And the president has made very clear the United States will not put any forces in Libya, on Libyan soil.”

Speaking to reporters at the Pentagon via satellite from his headquarters in Germany, Ham also said the prospect of Gadhafi using surrogates to launch a retaliatory terrorist strike was a “very, very legitimate concern.” One of the more vocal congressional skeptics of the Libya action, Sen.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The opening phase of U.S. and coalition military action in Libya bruised Moammar Gadhafi’s ground forces and set the stage for extending a nofly zone across the country, but American officials made clear Monday their military goals stop short of targeting Gadhafi or directly assisting rebel forces. Army Gen. Carter Ham, the lead U.S. commander, said it was possible that Gadhafi might manage to retain power. “I don’t think anyone would say that is ideal,” the general said, foreseeing a possible outcome that stands in contrast to President Barack Obama’s declaration that Gadhafi must go. The Libyan leader has ruled the North African nation for 42 years and was a target of American air attacks in 1986. The full dimensions of the Libya crisis are still coming into view, with questions remaining about how far the Obama administration is willing to go to stop Gadhafi, whether the international military coalition will hold together and whether dissent in his own ranks will soon doom Gadhafi. Traveling in Chile, Obama said removing Gadhafi is not the military’s mission. A combination of other measures including United Nations sanctions designed to isolate the Libyan leader are the correct approach to hastening his fall, Obama said, adding that the
U.N. Security Council resolution authorizing military action did not sanction regime change. “We are going to stick to that mandate,” Obama said.

Hull, U.S. ambassador to Yemen from 2001 to 2004, said it showed “the military overall ... no longer ties its fate to that of the president.” “I’d say he’s going sooner rather than later,” Hull said. In a sign of the Obama administration’s growing alarm over the regime’s crackdown on demonstrators, State Department spokesman Mark Toner called on the Yemeni leader to refrain from violence. The 65-year-old president and his government have faced down many serious challenges in the past, often forging fragile alliances with restive tribes to extend power beyond the capital. Most recently, he has battled a sevenyear armed rebellion in the north, a secessionist movement in the south and an alQaida offshoot that is of great concern to the U.S. Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, formed in 2009, has moved beyond regional aims and attacked the West, including sending a suicide bomber who tried to down a Detroitbound airliner on Christmas Day with a bomb sewn into his underwear. The device failed to detonate properly. Yemen is also home to U.S.born radical cleric Anwar alAwlaki, who is believed to have offered inspiration to those attacking the U.S., including Army Maj. Nidal Hasan, who is accused of killing 13 people and wounding dozens in a 2009 shootout at Fort Hood, Texas. Saleh has been a key, though not entirely reliable, U.S. ally in the fight against al-Qaida, frustrating his Washington backers with the delicate balancing act he has undertaken to maintain the goodwill of powerful tribes providing refuge to operatives from the terror network.

Arab unrest Here is a look at the latest developments in Mideast political unrest: • Libya Airstrikes by Western forces hit forces of Moammar Gadhafi for the third straight night. Coalition officials say the campaign as cut into Gadhafi’s ability to hit rebels and has neutralized much of his air defense system, but warn that the campaign in Libya could be long. • Yemen Key military officers in the Yemeni army desert President Ali Abdullah Saleh, depriving the U.S.-allied ruler of most of his fast-dwindling power base. Rival tanks deployed in the streets of the capital, but there were no clashes. Saleh, in power for 32 years, is insisting he won’t step down. • Bahrain King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa implies that Iran is behind the unrest in his country. He also praises the presence of the Saudi-led contingent from the Gulf Cooperation Council. The king heads a 200-year-old Sunni Muslim dynasty in the mostly Shiite Muslim country. • Syria Protesters defy a crackdown and marched in the southern city of Daraa after a much larger crowd burned government buildings during three previous days of protests, when police killed seven demonstrators. Police disperse the Monday march with no casualties. The unrest is exceptional in a country known not to tolerate dissent or protests.

DOWNTOWN SCOFFLAWS
Parking fines due update owntown Salisbury is long past its horse and buggy days. But its parking ticket system is a vestige of a slower, gentler time. Park all day in a two-hour on-street slot? That’ll be a $5 fine. Rack up numerous tickets and let them gather dust? Still $5 each. Adding insult to injury: Some of the more notorious offenders are downtown workers hogging spaces intended for business patrons. Meanwhile, the officer trying to keep track of about 300 tickets per month is using a manual system that’s more suited to a Dickensian counting house than a 21st century city boasting coordinated traffic signals and a fiber-optic network. Downtown Salisbury Inc., with the backing of local businesses, is recommending the city implement stiffer fines to discourage parking scofflaws, while also modernizing its tracking and billing system. Among its proposal are a $20 late fee after 30 days and a $50 repeat offender fine for anyone with four tickets within a month. The city should act on these reasonable recommendations. With expanded municipal lots available downtown, there’s no excuse for on-street parkers to log repeated tickets and ignore payment. There also should be zero tolerance for downtown workers who abuse the parking laws. Perhaps the city could consider issuing scarlet tickets for them, as a public mark of parking shame. And let’s be honest: Even though the higher fees aren’t intended to enhance the ticket revenue that goes to local schools, the system could use a little extra dough.

Expand ballot access In North Carolina, a political party seeking ballot access for its candidates currently must obtain signatures equivalent to 2 percent of those who voted in the most recent gubernatorial election — or upwards of 80,000 signatures. Meanwhile, several other states set the ballot bar at 10,000 signatures, a much more reasonable figure. Although an appeals court recently denied a Libertarian Party challenge to the N.C. ballot-access law, that isn’t necessarily the final vote. The legislature is considering a proposal to make 10,000 signatures the access threshold, returning the state to the standard it used until 1981. While the Libertarian Party proved the 2 percent figure isn’t insurmountable when it put gubernatorial candidate Michael Munger on the ballot in 2008, it’s an unnecessarily restrictive requirement. Third parties typically lack the financial resources and established political networks necessary for saturation campaigning. The N.C. law is designed to keep things that way. By lowering the threshold, legislators can expand access while still discouraging frivolous candidates from cluttering up the ballot.
Common sense
(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)
A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of the truth. — Albert Einstein
Moderately confused
e are almost at the two-month mark of this legislative session, a good time to take stock. There was widespread anticipation, even mild optimism, when the new leadership team in the legislature took over, an admission that Democrats, especially in the Senate, had been in power too long and had not resolved many major problems facing our state. Promises of TOM openCAMPBELL more ness, fresh approaches and better management added to the expectations and it initially appeared we might see more cooperation, between the Democrat Governor and Republican leadership in both houses. Committee chairs were named and in place the day the session started. Those accustomed to the traditionally sluggish start of the legislature were pleasantly surprised by the fast start of this session. Republicans in both chambers had a game plan so there was no surprise when this new team flexed their muscles by quickly passing several early bills to fulfill campaign promises. It was expected. But a growing uneasiness has evolved. The openness, while improved, isn’t a dramatic change. Fresh solutions aren’t evident and the honeymoon between the governor and the legislature didn’t last long. Two of the first bills passed were vetoed by the governor, giving us an inkling of what lies ahead. The No. 1 task of this legislature is to pass a new twoyear state budget that resolves a $2 billion-plus shortfall from current year revenues and expenditures. House Speaker Thom Tillis continues to promise this budget will be approved by the second week in June. Passed maybe, but not enacted. Governor Perdue is highly likely to veto any budget bill unless things change. Other needed measures promise the same cause-effect conclusion. Republicans have clear majorities in both houses of the legislature but unfortunately don’t have the votes to override a veto and have given Governor Perdue more power than she has seen thus far in her administration. Unless four or more conservative eastern Democrats join with House Republicans, Perdue’s vetoes will stand. These Democrats know they hold the power cards and can use this leverage with both Perdue and Republican leadership. Here is where things stand: neither the legislature nor the governor has the authority to get things done. Perdue cannot initiate legislation and the legislature cannot override her vetoes. Irresistible force meet immovable object. Common sense would dictate the two need to call a truce and work for the betterment of our state but, like quarreling spouses, neither side appears willing to reconcile at this moment and there is a real chance of gridlock in our state. North Carolina doesn’t need this partisan bickering. While each side claims the fault lies with the other, we face serious challenges. The crisis in public education is real and deserves solutions, not rigid grandstanding. We desperately need to find real answers to help the large numbers of unemployed find jobs; without greater employment our economy and state budget won’t get better. Our infrastructure continues to deteriorate even as new residents are moving into our state. Now is a time for peacemakers, for those who can break the gridlock and move North Carolina ahead. Our citizens deserve better. • • • Tom Campbell is the executive producer and moderator of the public affairs program “NC Spin.”

Spare our national parks Natural treasures, local economies at stake he results of the congressional budget debates in the nation’s capital will have farreaching consequences for almost every sector of the United States. Some agencies and institutions, such as Medicare and the Pentagon, receive a lot of attention and probably will be spared deep cuts because of their essential roles in protecting human health and national security. Others, such as those for the arts, education and aid for the poor, probably will see their funding slashed if Republicans, especially Tea Party newcomers, do not compromise. BILL Then we have institutions MAXWELL that do not get much publicity but are essential to the nation’s well being in unique ways. The National Park Service is one such institution, and it should be spared the budget ax — if anything is spared. President Barack Obama, to his credit, showed he understands the importance of our national parks by the level of funds he prioritized in his 2012 proposal. I contacted John Garder, budget and appropriations legislative representative with the National Parks Conservation Association in Washington, for an expert’s view on the tangible value of our national parks and why they should be spared. The NPCA is the only independent membership organization devoted exclusively to advocacy for the National Parks System. “For less than one-tenth of one percent of the federal budget, we protect spectacular places like Yellowstone and Everglades, preserve our history at Gettysburg and provide great places to hike like the Appalachian Trail,” Garder wrote in an e-mail message. “Our 394 national parks already suffer from an annual $600 million operations shortfall for staff to protect and maintain resources and to adequately serve visitors. “According to a recent poll, nine in 10 Americans have visited a national park, and nearly seven in 10 believe that it is extremely important to protect and support major parks such as the Everglades despite concerns about the current economic situation and the federal budget. And national parks are proven economic generators, supporting $13.3 billion of local privatesector economic activity and nearly 270,000 private-sector jobs.” Garder said a government shutdown would close national parks, devastating local economies that heavily depend on park tourism. Park closings would mean no rangers, no visitor centers, no education programs and no family trips to the Statue of Liberty or to Gettysburg. It all could happen if Republicans do a repeat of 1995-1996, which closed parks and led to the loss of millions of dollars in the munici-

palities near the parks. "We can't let that happen again," Garder wrote. "We need to keep our national parks open and well-funded. ... During a time of economic hardship, we need to adequately fund the places that protect our American heritage and draw tourists from throughout the world." NPCA president Tom Kiernan said that Obama’s 2012 budget request for the National Park Service is approximately $2.9 billion, an increase of nearly $138 million over the current fiscal year 2011 budget still operating through a temporary funding measure being debated in Congress. The operations portion of the budget is approximately $2.3 billion, an increase of $35 million over the current operating budget. This is not enough for the park service to address an operations shortfall of more than $600 million. It is important to note that Obama’s 2012 budget proposal contrasts with the current 2011 continuing resolution proposal of the GOP-dominated House of Representatives. If approved, the House 2011 continuing resolution would reduce the parks operations budget by nearly $24 million. “The House committee clearly recognizes the importance of park operations in the way they prioritized investments,” Kiernan said. “However, these cuts still have consequences. The park service is already underfunded with an operations shortfall of $600 million. We’re also quite concerned with the size of the House committee cut to the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which is critical to protecting national parks from the constant threats of development.” The fund, financed by a portion of receipts from offshore drilling leases, helps both the federal government and states buy conservation land. Economically, cutting park service funds makes no sense. After all, more people have been visiting national parks, their spending creating millions of jobs in gateway communities. The parks make money. They are, moreover, a treasure of another kind, as Paul Schullery, a former writer for Yellowstone National Park publications, reminds us. He wrote that our parks “enchant us with their beauty and restore us with their peace. ... They are laboratories of ideas, offering profound lessons in the natural way of things, and in what that way can mean to the human soul.” The irony is that a Republican, President Teddy Roosevelt, a conservationist, was a guiding force in the creation of the national park system. He signed legislation establishing five national parks. If only today’s Republican lawmakers could channel Roosevelt’s wisdom and his passion for these special places. • • • Bill Maxwell is a columnist for the St. Petersburg Times.

Early childhood education important for development I’ve been working for 17 years in the early childhood field. I feel that high quality child care is important for all children. When children engage in constructive play and are challenged, it promotes brain cell growth. It is my goal to get as many parents involved in their children’s education as early as possible by reading to them frequently. Children develop literacy skills and an awareness of language long before they are able to read on their own. It has been proven that children who are read to regularly by family members experience multiple benefits. These include socialemotional gains, a boost in literacy development, and an increased likelihood of later overall school success. So I encourage all parents to make the most of these early years and help your child to succeed in the future. — Lori Webster China Grove

I’m tired of marijuana being touted as just another God-made plant that does no more harm than a cigarette (which is also hazardous), and I fear it will soon be legalized, too. This attitude is being modeled for our young people, whose brains are not yet fully developed, by professional people that they look up to and respect. The fact that it is a mind-altering drug and is a gateway to harder drugs is not mentioned except by doctors and experts in the field. Yes, some may be able to walk away after trying it, but many others who have an inherited addictive personality are caught in its web, and so are the parents and grandparents.

Fixing broken Japanese nuclear plant likely to take weeks that things appear to be on the verge of stabilizing,” said Bill Borchardt, the commission’s executive director for operations. Monday’s evacuation of workers from the plant came after smoke began rising from the spent fuel storage pool of the plant’s problem-plagued Unit 3, Tokyo Electric spokesman Hiroshi Aizawa said. Unit 3 also alarmed plant officials over the weekend with a sudden surge of pressure in its reactor core. What caused the smoke to billow first from Unit 3 and then from Unit 2 is under investigation, nuclear safety agency officials said. Still, in the days since the earthquake and tsunami, both reactors have overheated and seen explosions. Workers were evacuated from the area to buildings nearby, though radiation levels remained steady, the officials said. Problems set off by the disasters have ranged far beyond the shattered northeast coast and the wrecked nuclear

BOSTON (AP) — A Texas construction worker horribly disfigured in a power line accident has undergone the nation’s first full face transplant in hopes of smiling again and feeling kisses from his 3-yearold daughter. Dallas Wiens, 25, received a new nose, lips, skin, muscle and nerves from an unidentified dead person in an operation paid for by the U.S. military, which wants to use what is learned to help soldiers with severe facial wounds. Wiens will not resemble “either what he used to be or the donor,” but something in between, said plastic surgeon Dr. Bohdan Pomahac). “The tissues are really molded on a new person.” Pomahac led a team of more than 30 doctors, nurses and other staff at Brigham and Women’s Hospital during the 15-hour operation last week. Wiens was listed in good condition at the Boston hospital on Monday. He did not appear at a news conference with the surgeon.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks started the week with big gains Monday on a major telecommunications deal and signs that Japan’s nuclear crisis was stabilizing. The Dow Jones industrial average closed above 12,000 for the first time since a nuclear power plant in Japan failed following a massive earthquake and tsunami. In the U.S., AT&T Inc. said it would buy rival T-Mobile USA for $39 billion, creating the largest U.S. cellphone company. Charles Schwab Corp. said it would buy online brokerage services provider OptionsXpress for $1 billion. The deals raised hopes that more corporate buyouts could be on the way as businesses become more confident in the economic recovery. “You only expand when you have a good feeling about the future,” said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at New York-based brokerage house Avalon Partners. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 178.01 points, or 1.5 percent, to 12,036.53. The index has gained 3.6 percent over the last three trading days, its largest jump over the same amount of time since September. The S&P 500 index gained 19.18, or 1.5 percent, to 1,298.38. The Nasdaq composite rose 48.42, or 1.8 percent, to 2,692.09.

Voters likely to see plenty of Pawlenty ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty pressed toward a White House campaign Monday by formally announcing an exploratory committee with a call for backers to help him “take back our government.” “At a young age, I saw up close the face of challenge, the face of hardship and the face of job loss,” the Republican said in a two-minute video message designed to appeal to tea party activists and GOP rank and file facing economic insecurity. “Over the last year I’ve traveled to nearly every state in the country and I know many Americans are feeling that way today. I know that feeling. I lived it. But there is a brighter future for America.” The optimistic note harkened to another upbeat politician: President Barack Obama, who ran on the message of hope and change in 2008. Pawlenty’s announcement of the exploratory committee almost certainly will lead to a full-blown candidacy for the GOP nomination in a field that has been slow to form. The winner would face the daunting task of unseating an incumbent president.

the plant toward Tokyo. The government has just started to test fish and shellfish. Tokyo Electric said radioactive iodine about 127 times normal levels and radioactive cesium about 25 times above the norm were detected in seawater 100 yards (meters) off the Fukushima nuclear plant. Despite that concentration, a senior official at the International Atomic Energy Agency said the ocean was capable of absorbing vast amounts of radiation with no effect and that — comparatively — the radioactivity released so far by the plant was minor. “I would stress that the levels concerned are really very, very small, compared to the natural radioactivity that you find in the oceans,” said Graham Andrew, senior adviser to IAEA chief Yukiya Amano. “The quantities are tiny compared to the reservoir of natural radioactivity in the oceans.”

plume of smoke rose from two reactor units Monday, prompting workers to evacuate. In another setback, the plant’s operator said Monday it had just discovered that some of the cooling system’s key pumps at the complex’s troubled Unit 2 are no longer functional — meaning replacements have to be brought in. Tokyo Electric Power Co. said it had placed emergency orders for new pumps, but how long it would take for them to arrive was unclear. If officials can get the power turned on, get the replacement pumps working and get enough seawater into the reactors and spent fuel pools, it would only take a day to bring the temperatures back to a safe, cooling stage, said Ryohei Shiomi, an official with the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency. And if not? “There is nothing else we can do but keep doing what we’ve been doing,” Shiomi said. In other words, officials would continue dousing the plant in seawater — and hope for the best. An official of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said in Washington that Units 1, 2 and 3 have all seen damage to their reactor cores, but that containment is intact. The assessment dispels some concerns about Unit 2, where an explosion damaged a pressure-reducing chamber around the bottom of the reactor core. “I would say optimistically

FUKUSHIMA, Japan (AP) — Officials raced Monday to restore electricity to Japan’s leaking nuclear plant, but getting the power flowing will hardly be the end of their battle: With its mangled machinery and partly melted reactor cores, bringing the complex under control is a monstrous job. Restoring the power to all six units at the tsunami-damaged complex is key, because it will, in theory, power up the maze of motors, valves and switches that help deliver cooling water to the overheated reactor cores and spent fuel pools that are leaking radiation. Ideally, officials believe it should only take a day to get the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear under control once the cooling system is up and running. In reality, the effort to end the crisis is likely to take weeks. Late Monday night, the deputy director general of Japan’s nuclear safety body suggested to reporters why there is so much uncertainty about when the job will be finished. “We have experienced a very huge disaster that has caused very large damage at a nuclear power generation plant on a scale that we had not expected,” said Hidehiko Nishiyama of the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency. The nuclear plant’s cooling systems were wrecked by the massive earthquake and tsunami that devastated northeastern Japan on March 11. Since then, conditions at the plant have been volatile; a

He also joined with Tobias Kesler, D.R. Julian and others in organizing Kesler Mill, which became part of Cannon Mills. In addition, McCanless had a hand in the construction of the Washington Building on North Main Street and the Empire Block on South Main Street. He
was president of Harris Granite Company, which probably served as catalyst for his building the threestory stone house that still exists on South Main Street at Military Avenue. While the house was under construction in 1897, Carrie returned to Salisbury after studying art in Paris at the famous Ecole de Julienne under Madame Hortense Richard. The walls of the South Main Street house’s parlor were once covered with tapestries, which Carrie painted. “They were Rococo-like scenes with a frieze of cupids above them,” a history of the house says. The murals no longer exist. Carrie McCanless would marry Carl Hammer, colorful newspaper editor for the Salisbury Globe. As editor, Hammer apparently walked the streets armed with a .38 pistol in his belt. He told the Post later in life that he carried the gun in defiance of “a political gang that had an obsession for beating me up.” Hammer had a running feud with Gen. Baldy Boyden, mayor of Salisbury at the time, and Sheriff Dave Julian, who together controlled the Truth Index, a
newspaper competitor. Before Hammer came to Salisbury, he worked as a city editor for a Dayton, Ohio, newspaper and was mentor for a young O.O. McIntyre, who later became a nationally known syndicated columnist. In Rowan County, the German-born Hammer gave up newspapering and settled into a life of farming, first on a 300-acre farm in Providence Township, then on the Goslar Farm, five miles south of Salisbury across from what would become the U.S. 29 Swink Plant. Carl and Carrie McCanless Hammer had two chil-
dren, Barbara and Carl Jr. Dr. Carl Hammer Jr. became a professor of German at the University of Texas. He was as recognized authority on Goethe and wrote the 1943 “Rhinelanders on the Yadkin,” a history of German settlement in this area. Carl Sr. and Carrie M. Hammer are buried in the old graveyard of St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, which was across from their Goslar Farm. Only the cemetery, not the church, remains at the site today.

Coach K returns to basics BY LUKE DECOCK Raleigh News & Observer
CHARLOTTE — You don’t get to 900 wins without knowing the X’s and O’s of basketball, without recruiting, without leading and without all the other attributes that go into coaching. College basketball at its highest level is a complicated and many-faceted game, full of variations in both strategy and tactics from program to program, game to game and possession to possession. Once in a while, when two evenly matched teams meet, part of the margin between
winning and losing can come down to simple motivation. Mike Krzyzewski went back to basics in that department Sunday to get his 900th win. Duke ended up squeaking through to the round of 16 with a 73-71 win over Michigan after Darius Morris’ final shot bounced off the back iron, but Krzyzewski set the tone three minutes into the second half. After five lackluster possessions, he called a timeout. “I thought we needed more energy,” Krzyzewski said afterward. “I didn’t like the way we started out the half. Just more energy. It was an ener-
gy timeout. Not an X-and-O timeout.” The chair was waiting for Krzyzewski, but he never used it. From one knee, he leaned into his players on the bench, unleashing a furious tirade. There’s nothing new about that, of course, but this team hasn’t needed that kind of kick in the pants very often. It got a pretty serious kick Sunday. With a minute left in the timeout, he dismissively waved his players out of their seats and back onto the floor — where they stood, huddled among the cheerleaders. Meanwhile, Krzyzewski
ditched his coat, a rare gambit on his part. By the time the Duke players returned to the bench 73 seconds later for a TV timeout, Krzyzewski met them at halfcourt in shirtsleeves, jumping and pumping his fists. “He’s motivating us, and we’re responding,” Duke guard Nolan Smith said. “That’s all it is.” No one responded more than Smith, who took over the game with a personal 10-0 run, making a vocal statement in the middle. Smith sent Tim

South Rowan’s Cory Deason, top, barrels into Carson catcher Joseph Basinger in the intracounty showdown Monday.
Carson rattles Raiders BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
LANDIS — Fans arriving 15 minutes for Carson 12 late So. Rowan 4 M o n d a y ’ s NPC showdown missed the decisive action. Carson sent 11 men to the plate in the first inning, scored seven quick runs and went on to beat South Rowan 12-4. There were similarities to last season’s 16-2 Carson victory at South that included a 10-run first by the Cougars. “It’s one game in a long season, and we’re not going to over-react to it,” disappointed South coach Thad Chrismon said. “Carson was just better than we were tonight — pitched it better, swung it better and played better defense. Hats off to them.” Carson coach Chris Cauble, who has mostly watched his guys labor offensively this season, was ecstatic. “We haven’t been hitting, but our approaches have gotten better the last three games,” he said. “If you’re going to be a good high school team, you have to put the ball in play up and down the lineup, and we finally did that. Our kids stepped up to the challenge. This is a huge win.” Intensity heated up when there was a rugged collision at the plate in the bottom of the second between South
baserunner Cory Deason and Joseph Basinger, Carson’s big catcher, but cooler heads prevailed. Carson (6-4, 4-1 NPC) scored a dozen runs, even with its two big offensive guns — Gunnar Hogan and Basinger — going 0-for-7. Kyle Youngo and Mitch Galloway had three hits each to pace the Cougars’ 14-hit attack. “It was just a great game for everybody,” Galloway said. “Everyone stayed in this one all the way. The intensity never let up.” Young, a senior second baseman who waited behind all-star Julio Zubillaga for his chance to play, opened the game with a single, and Kyle Bridges bounced a single into right field to move Youngo to second. Hogan walked to load the bases, but South starter Preston Penninger — also the victim of Carson’s big first in 2010 — struck out Basinger. Penninger was one groundball away from escaping any damage, and he got that groundball when Galloway whacked one hard to the left side. But the ball bounced high over the glove of South third baseman Jacob Dietz, clearing leather by inches, and plating Carson’s first run. “Not the hardest hit, but putting it in play was the main thing,” Galloway said. The rest of the inning was a nightmare for the Raiders. Winning pitcher Josh Martin helped himself with a
KANNAPOLIS — Ron Massey announced his retirement as A.L. Brown’s head football coach and athletics director on Friday, but his working days MASSEY aren’t quite over. While most of the world ate lunch on Monday, Massey was tackling a spring cleaning session in the basement storage rooms of Bullock Gym with considerable gusto. Massey, 53, plans to stay on as AD through the end of the school year, and while he’s put in 30 years with North Carolina’s school system (qualifying for full retirement benefits), he’s also still young enough that his coaching career may resume elsewhere. Whispers that Massey would be stepping down or moving on after 11 seasons at the helm of one of the state’s storied programs have circulated for months. He said he recently finalized his decision. “When you get to this point, you’re on a year-toyear basis,” he said. “When we started working on evaluations of things we might want to change for next year and when we met as a staff to get started on our summer
program, it just didn’t feel right. My heart was not in it the way it needed to be, not the way this program needed for it to be.” Massey called Friday’s meeting because he didn’t want the players hearing about the change in their lives by word of mouth at Pizza Hut or What-A-Burger. There was no press conference. There were no cameras flashing and no bands playing when Massey bid farewell to the troops, and that was consistent with his track record. He was private and low-key for a football coach, never overly comfortable in the glare of publicity, even when it was favorable. He was one of the greatest in history at pointing a finger at himself after a painful loss and pointing a finger at his assistants and players after a stirring victory. The dynamic individuals who preceded Massey at A.L. Brown — Bob Boswell, a defensive genius who got the program rolling, and Bruce Hardin, an offensive genius who directed two 3A championships, are members of halls of fame. Massey may receive that accolade down the road. As far as wins and losses, Massey’s 120-32 record at Brown fell neatly in between Hardin’s 121-24 in 11 seasons and Boswell’s 102-38-1 in 13. The biggest check-mark for Massey isn’t that his

When Gavin Peeler singled just inches out of a lunging Dietz’s reach, it was 4-0. “We’ve been getting such great pitching — lots of threeup, three-down innings — that their first inning got us out of our game,” Dietz said. “I have to give it to them because their hitters executed. I was playing in because they were threatening to bunt. That cut
down my range, and some of their hits were just out of reach.” When Peeler stole second, South catcher Eric Tyler’s throw sailed into center field, allowing a runner to score from third, and it was 5-0. K.J. Pressley’s bunt single got the sixth run home. It became 7-0 — and all over but

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee has fired Bruce Pearl after a season that saw the coach charged with unethical conduct for lying to NCAA investigators during a probe into recruiting, according to a person with knowledge of the decision. The person spoke with The Associated Press Monday on condition of anonymity because the university has not announced the firing. “We have no comment at this time,” UT-Knoxville Chancellor Jimmy Cheek said Monday night at a Lady Vols basketball game. No other Tennessee officials returned messages seeking comment. Associate head coach Tony Jones, who filled in while Pearl served a suspension earlier this season, thanked the fans on Twitter on Monday night. “Sorry Vol Nation it had to end,” Jones wrote. “I love each and everyone of you to the bottom of my heart.” In six seasons, Pearl, 51, led the Volunteers to their first No. 1 ranking in 2008 and first NCAA tournament regional finals appearance, missing out on a trip to the 2010 Final Four by a single
point. Pearl acknowledged in a tearful press conference on Sept. 10 that he had given investigators false information when asked about a cookout at his home attended by high school juniors. The NCAA has since charged the Tennessee basketball and football programs with a dozen violations. After a 75-45 loss to Michigan on Friday in the second round of the NCAA tournament, Pearl said that he planned to be accountable for the mistakes he had made but his “goal and desire is to be the basketball coach at Tennessee next year and for a long time.” Tennessee docked his salary by $1.5 million over five years, banned him from off-campus recruiting for a year and terminated his contract in September. Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive tacked on an eight-game suspension from conference play. Athletics director Mike Hamilton and Cheek had voiced support for Pearl after he admitted lying, but last week Hamilton said that Pearl’s future would re-

Ginobili leads Duncan-less Spurs Associated Press
From around the NBA... SAN ANTONIO — Manu Ginobili scored 28 points and the San Antonio Spurs got a scare when Tim Duncan sprained his left ankle in a 11196 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Monday night. coach Gregg Spurs Popovich said Duncan would be out “a while” but didn’t have a timetable. The injury looked potentially serious as Duncan lay on his side, clutching his foot with both hands, for more than a minute. The 34-year-old AllStar steadied himself with the help of trainers while limping off the court. Ekpe Udoh led Golden State with 15 points. It was Udoh’s foot that Duncan appeared to be trying to avoid while landing awkwardly after hitting a short jumper in the first quarter. Celtics 96, Knicks 86 NEW YORK — Kevin Garnett had 24 points and 11 rebounds, Rajon Rondo added 13 AssOciAted PRess points and 12 rebounds, and Golden state’s Acie Law collides with san Antonio’s Gary Neal the Boston Celtics scored the iin the spurs’ victory. final 10 points for a spirited
victory over the New York Knicks. The Celtics showed the Knicks they will be tough to beat next month if this was in fact a preview of a first-round playoff series. Paul Pierce scored 21 points and Ray Allen had 15 for Boston despite a poor shooting night and a nasty cut on his head that briefly forced him from the game. Carmelo Anthony scored 22 points for the Knicks, but neither he nor Amare Stoudemire had a field goal in the fourth quarter. Pacers 102, Nets 98 NEWARK, N.J. — Roy Hibbert scored 24 points and Danny Granger had 17 of his 20 in the second half as the Indiana Pacers opened a twogame lead in the race for the final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference with a victory over the New Jersey Nets. Darren Collison added 15 points — nine in the final 2:24 — and 12 assists for the Pacers (31-40). Charlotte (28-41) and Milwaukee (28-41) are tied for ninth, with the Bobcats playing host to Indiana on Wednesday. Brook Lopez had 20 points

to lead the Nets, who saw Sundiata Gaines and Sasha Vujacic miss tying 3-point attempts in the final 15 seconds. New Jersey, which lost its fourth in the row, played without point guard Deron Williams, who missed his second straight game with a wrist injury. Magic 97, Cavaliers 86 CLEVELAND — Dwight Howard scored 28 points, grabbed 18 rebounds and was way too much for Cleveland’s front line to handle in leading the Orlando Magic to a win over the Cavaliers. With the Cavs unable to stop Howard, the Magic built a 15-point lead in the first quarter and were up by 26 late in the third. Cleveland pulled within 92-83 with 3:15 remaining, but Hedo Turkoglu’s 3-pointer put Orlando back in control. Orlando swept all four games against Cleveland, winning the season series for the first time since 200203. The teams were heated rivals just a year ago when LeBron James was still with the Cavs, but they’re now at opposite ends of the NBA spectrum.

900 FROM 1B Hardaway Jr., to the floor with a dribble, pulled up and hit the jumper. As he ran up the court, he turned and screamed to the crowd. Now it was Michigan’s turn to take a timeout. The Wolverines looked cooked at that point, but Michigan coach John Beilein was ready to test Krzyzewski tactically as well. With the Duke lead in double digits, Beilein unleashed his trapping 1-3-1 zone. That stalled Duke’s offense enough to get the Wolverines back in the game, at least until Kyrie Irving banked in a floater with 32 seconds to go to put Duke in the lead for good. Having a player of Irving’s caliber available to come off the bench can make any coach look smart. It helped give Krzyzewski his 900th win,

NASCAR DARLINGTON, S.C. — Two of the newest members of the NASCAR Hall of Fame will visit with select ticket purchasers for the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway. The track said Monday that David Pearson and Bud Moore would hold a questionand-answer sessions with those people buying a special race package designed to honor the two South Carolina natives on their upcoming induction. Pearson and Moore were both included in the hall’s second group of inductees.
keeping alive the tantalizing, if remote, possibility that his opportunity to pass Bob Knight with the historic 903rd could come against North Carolina in the Final Four. Krzyzewski, obviously, has more immediate concerns than taking his former coach’s spot atop the all-time wins column. But he did take a moment after the game with his wife and a few other people to savor the win. “It means we’re advancing,” Krzyzewski said. “That’s the main thing. It’s been a good thing for the total number of wins (chase) to be in the NCAA tournament and all that because then that’s not the story. So that’s the best thing.” That chase lives on, and Duke survived to move on Sunday. There were many reasons why, but one of them — as big as any — was as simple as it gets.

Brent Johnson stopped 37 shots for the Penguins, who gave Marc-Andre Fleury the night off, and denied Todd Bertuzzi, Modano and Danny Cleary in the shootout.

From around spring training... JUPITER, Fla. — Tony La Russa and Jim Riggleman had to be separated when both benches cleared Monday during a testy spring training game between the Washington Nationals and St. Louis Cardinals. The scuffle broke out after three batters were hit by pitches, but no punches were thrown and St. Louis reliever Miguel Batista was the only player ejected. The Nationals went on to a 7-2 victory. With his team trailing 4-2 in the seventh inning, Batista plunked Ian Desmond in the back. While making his way to first, Desmond jawed with Cardinals catcher Tony Cruz, who was walking behind him. Upon reaching first base, Desmond turned to the mound and yelled at Batista — the two were teammates last season with Washington. Players from both teams poured onto the field, gathering around first base in front of the St. Louis dugout. La Russa, the Cardinals’ 66-yearold manager, and Riggleman, his counterpart, had to be separated during the fray. Phillies 4, Red Sox 1 CLEARWATER, Fla. — Roy Halladay looked ready for opening day and beyond, pitching into the eighth inning to lead Philadelphia past Boston. The reigning NL Cy Young Award winner flirted with a rare spring training complete game. He held the Red Sox to one run and five hits before
being relieved by Ryan Madson with two outs in the eighth. The 33-year-old Halladay, who pitched a perfect game and a postseason no-hitter in his first season with the Phillies last year, struck out six and walked three. Halladay is 3-0 with a 0.48 ERA in four Grapefruit League games. He will make one more start in Florida before the Phillies break camp next week. Twins 4, Pirates 1 BRADENTON, Fla. — Joe Mauer had two hits and an RBI to help Minnesota beat Pittsburgh. Mauer, who had knee surgery in the offseason, started at catcher for the second time this spring and played six innings. Brian Duensing pitched five innings for the Twins, allowing an unearned run and three hits. Tigers 9, Astros 1 KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Victor Martinez had three hits and Detroit roughed up Houston starter Brett Myers. Austin Jackson also had three of Detroit’s 18 hits and Phil Coke pitched five strong innings. Alex Avila drove in three runs. Mets 8, Braves 7 PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Jason Bay drove in three runs and New York, after a messy inning by opening-day starter Mike Pelfrey, scored four times in the bottom of the ninth to beat Atlanta. Kenshin Kawakami, making his first start this spring, allowed one earned run and three hits in three innings for Atlanta.

NEW ORLEANS — Kickoff returns are among football’s most popular and exciting plays. The NFL’s competition committee wants to make them safer. Committee chairman Rich McKay said Monday at the owners meetings that moving kickoffs up to the 35-yard line and bringing touchbacks out to the 25 have spurred “healthy discussions” among coaches and general managers. So much so that some alterations could be coming to proposed changes, which also include eliminating the blocking wedge and limiting coverage players from long run-ups. Owners will vote on those proposals Tuesday, along with amendments to defenseless player rules for receivers, and allowing the replay official to review all scoring plays at any time in games. “This is a rule 100 percent based on player safety,” said McKay, president of the Atlanta Falcons, referring to the kickoff proposals. “We’ve seen higher rates of injuries than we are comfortable with and we’re trying to remedy it.”
deputy prosecutor Chris Daniels filed Monday. Floyd failed three sobriety tests that consisted of a standing on one leg, walking and turning around, and a finger count, Daniels said. The breathalyzer test showed he had a blood-alcohol level of 0.19, well above Indiana’s legal limit for driving of 0.08 percent. • KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee’s last two spring practices were all about getting to know a new coach. The Volunteers are kicking off their second spring session under coach Derek Dooley focusing on how to return to being a competitive program again. The Vols, who finished 2010 6-7 after a loss in the Music City Bowl, will work on becoming bigger, faster and stronger than their Southeastern Conference foes when they return to practice Tuesday afternoon. “As long as our team is focused on continual improvement I feel like we’ll continue moving in the right direction,” Dooley said Monday. “I kind of feel like this is year one and last year was year zero. It was such a unique situation that we walked into last season. It didn’t feel like your first year. I feel like right now this is year one.”

From around the NHL... DETROIT — The Pittsburgh Penguins passed their first test after another setback. James Neal scored the only goal in the shootout, giving Pittsburgh a 5-4 victory over the Detroit Red Wings after blowing a fourgoal lead on Monday night. “We let it slip away a bit and no one likes to see that,” Neal said. “But when you come back and win in the shootout, it’s a great feeling.” The win picked up a team that was knocked down a couple hours before the game. Penguins forward Matt Cooke was suspended by the NHL for the rest of the regular season and the first round of the playoffs for an elbow to the head of New York Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh during a 52 home loss on Sunday. “It’s disappointing,” teammate Jordan Staal said. “Matt’s a big part of our team. He plays on the edge. He has to find a way to play on the edge but play clean.” Pascal Dupuis had two goals and an assist to help
viewed once the season ended. Failing to notify Tennessee of another possible recruiting violation that occurred just four days after his tearful press conference may have ultimately caused Pearl to lose the support of his bosses. officials Tennessee learned from the NCAA in December that Pearl would be charged with a violation of the NCAA’s “bump rule” after speaking with a high school junior on a recruiting trip to Georgia on Sept. 14. Pearl, who had a 145-61 record, leaves the school as a popular coach. An unscientific online poll conducted by The Knoxville News Sentinel after Tennessee received its notice of allegations from the NCAA on Feb. 24 showed 70 percent of the 9,600 respondents still supported Pearl. Fans gathered Sunday in a rally to show support, and Knoxville businesses displayed messages supporting Pearl on Monday. He promoted Tennessee in a way no other coach had before with antics like appearing at a Lady Vols basketball game with his bare chest painted orange. The fans responded with boosted attendance at Vols games, which prompted athletics officials to upgrade the school’s cavernous Thompson-Boling Arena and build a new basketball practice facility. Pearl also contributed to the Knoxville community in a way his predecessors hadn’t. He led Tennessee’s annual Outlive campaign to raise money for cancer prevention programs and research and endowed a scholarship in the name of former Vol Dane Bradshaw. Pearl was hired in March 2005 to replace Buzz Peterson, who had gone 61-59 and neglected to reach the NCAA tournament in four seasons at Tennessee. Pearl had just led Wisconsin-Milwaukee to Sweet Sixteen and finished 86-38 overall after four seasons. He spent six years as an assistant at Iowa under the tutelage of coach Tom Davis. It was during his Iowa tenure that Pearl recorded a phone conversation with recruit Deon Thomas about Thomas’ recruitment by rival Illinois. Pearl turned the recording over to the NCAA, which investigated and uncovered unrelated recruiting violations by Illinois. Pearl also spent nine seasons at Southern Indiana, leading the Screaming Eagles to the 1995 Division II national championship.

Salisbury high School's romar Morris pulls ahead of the pack during the davie County high School track invitational.
In Rowan County you might get the idea winning a state championship in high school is common place, something to be appreciated and maybe even celebrated. But not really a big deal, right? If that’s the way you see it, then you don’t really get it. Winning a state championship isn’t easy. It takes a lot of hard work by the players, coaches, school and community to make it happen. To be able to perform at the level necessary to win it all, a player must practice hard every day. Not just everyday during the season, but every day. Period. They need to eat, drink and breathe the sport. Then, there are the coaches, practice plans and personnel decision. Balancing personalities, coupled with long hours at the field and away from home, are a must to win it all. The school itself has to play a big role. All of the incidentals, ticket takers, security and the like don’t just happen, It takes planning, organization and commitment to pull it off. And lastly, the community has to be there to support all three of the above. It may be monetarily, man power, or simply coming to the games, but the support has to be there or it’s almost impossible to pull it off. You may not know it, but Rowan County has been the home to 26 state championship teams since 2000. That’s not a misprint. Twenty-six state championship teams, (and I may have missed one somewhere). That doesn’t even include the plethora of individual state champions during that period. I don’t think people really understand how amazing it is for a community the size of Rowan County to win a couple of state championships, much less 26 of them. I haven’t done the research, but I would be surprised to find any other county in North Carolina other than perhaps Mecklenburg that has produced that many champions. And the wealth has been spread out across the county.
Salisbury High leads the way with 11 state championships; North Rowan follows with eight, West Rowan six, and East Rowan one. Carson and South haven’t scratched yet but are knocking on the door. And before you say, yea but Blank High Schools won in (pick your sport), stop. I don’t care what sport it was in. Winning a state championship is a big deal and requires just as much work as the next sport. By my estimates, just in state championship rings alone, the community has chipped in over $100,000 so that the players could get rings. Some of it came from the players themselves, but the majority of it came from booster clubs and the community. Not one penny of school funds was used to purchase rings; it all came from people who cared enough to make sure the players were rewarded for the time and hard work they put in. I think one of the things that makes Rowan County so special is how willing businesses and individual members of the community are to step up and help, not just in sports but in general. It’s hard to do I know, but don’t take the success of our local high school athletes for granted. Next time you see a coach, a player, or a school administrator, congratulate them. Next time you patronize a local business you know has helped with the schools, thank them. A good job, congratulations, or thank you comment goes a long way. And don’t forget winning a state championship gets the name of our community on people’s lips outside of Rowan County. You never know what might make a business decide to relocate here or a person visit and spend money in our community. State championships are to be relished, celebrated, and appreciated, but never to be taken for granted. Go out and support a local high school and its team. You might not only enjoy yourself but find a new hobby along the way.

eight women and four men were picked for the jury of Barry Bonds.
Bonds jury selected Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Barry Bonds finally sat across the court room Monday from the 12 people who will judge whether or not the greatest home-run hitter of all time lied about taking drugs. Following a daylong selection process, eight women and four men were picked to hear the federal government’s case against the 46year-old former San Francisco Giants star, who is charged with four counts of lying to a grand jury and one count of obstruction for testifying in 2003 that he never knowingly used performance-enhancing drugs. Among the jurors there was no shortage of opinion on baseball’s Steroids Era or drugs in sports, though all indicated they could rule impartially in the case of Bonds, who holds the records for home runs in a career (762) and a season (73). Juror No. 69 was angered Congress investigated steroids in sports “on my dime.” “They should be solving things like the national debt,” he said. He made it onto the panel, even though he said Bonds had “probably not (received) a fair trial in the court of public opinion.” Jurors were identified by number rather than name, and U.S. District Judge Susan Illston said their identities won’t be revealed until the day after the verdict. “We got a fair and impartial jury selected after an open process,” said Bonds’ lead lawyer, Allen Ruby, said outside the courthouse. From the initial pool of potential jurors who filled out 19-page questionnaires last week, Illston dismissed 38 based on answers, which included whether they had attended Giants games in the last five years, and whether they were familiar with the Mitchell Report on drugs in baseball or congressional hearings into steroids use. Several were dismissed because they said they had formed opinions on the case.
MASSEY FroM 1B teams won their share. It’s that it’s hard to find a rival coach or ex-player who has anything negative to say about him. “He’s run a great program,” said Todd Hagler, the Brown assistant coach responsible for the offensive line and strength and conditioning. “He’s done it the right way, treated kids fair and with dignity. He’s taught me a lot about integrity. Not everyone likes to hear the truth, but Ron told the truth.” Defensive coordinator Noah Lyon, who came to Brown from Richmond County in 2002, said Massey’s
PROVO, Utah — A week ago, BYU players were still tired and sore when Monday’s practice rolled around. Now, after making their deepest NCAA tournament run in 30 years, a little bit of the swagger is back. Of course it helps that one potential nemesis, Southeast regional No. 1 seed Pitt, has been knocked out. “I think we thought we could do it regardless,” star guard Jimmer Fredette said Monday. “We thought we had a good team, but now that we’re in this position, it’s not that far, not that far away. But we’ve got to take it one game at time.” The Cougars will catch a flight Tuesday to New Orleans where they’ll face a Florida team they upset in the first round a year ago, pulling out a 99-92 doubleovertime win. It was a coming-out party of sorts for Fredette, who scored 37 points in the nationally televised game. Jimmermania has taken off since then. NBA stars have tweeted his name. President Obama mentioned him when filling out his bracket. And the BYU faithful have fueled a frenzy that has reached high above the mountains surrounding the quiet Provo campus. Fredette continues to take it all in stride. Instead of going out Sunday in a town where he has been elevated to idol status, Fredette laid low. “I just kind of relaxed on Sunday,” he said. “I didn’t talk to anybody, just hung out, stretched. I kind of stayed away from it all.” Part of that is knowing what his body endured last
season when he battled through mononucleosis. Part of that is knowing what awaits him in New Orleans. Double teams, triple teams, efforts to keep the ball out of his hands. “I think they’re just going to be really tenacious ... run at my ball screens hard, maybe double them and try to get the ball out of my hands,” Fredette said of Florida. The Gators return just about everyone from last year’s team — with players who scored 88 of the 92 points back. BYU has players back who scored 55 of its 99, and none more important than Fredette, a Naismith Award finalist . The 6-foot-2 senior is averaging 34.7 points in his last seven games despite the suspension of leading rebounder and third-leading scoring Brandon Davies and despite seeing just about every type of defense thrown at him. He knows it won’t be easy in the Big Easy. “They’re just better because they’re more experienced and have played together for two years,” Fredette said. “They won two games in the NCAA tournament together as a team and they’re used to winning.” BYU coach Dave Rose also sees a more experienced Gators team. “They’re a year older, one year more experienced, with a lot more wins consistently this year. They found ways to close out games, win games,” Rose said. Then again so have his Cougars, who have overcome the suspension of Davies for an honor-code violation. “I guess you could say we lost some of our swagger, or we had to re-identify ourselves,” guard Jackson Emery said. “We had to find who we

BYU fans have embraced the emergence of star player Jimmer Fredette this season. were with this bunch of guys. You lose one guy, it shouldn’t affect the whole team. I think it did mentally a little bit. We just had to figure out how to implement other guys and different strategies and different lineups.” In Saturday’s second-round win over Gonzaga, Emery said he saw a team that finally looked comfortable again. Rose, who was part of Houston’s Final Four run in 1983, agreed. “I thought the 40 minutes we played against Gonzaga was a team that was really dialed into the way we played all year long,” Rose said. “We shared the ball, trusted each other. We made open shots. We competed hard around the
rim.” He hopes that will continue as the spotlight gets brighter and the stage bigger. Last year’s win over Florida marked the first time BYU reached the second round of the tournament in 17 years, snapping a streak of seven straight first-round losses. Now, the Cougars have a chance to go where Danny Ainge took them in 1981, when his famous coast-to-coast drive beat Notre Dame and moved BYU into the Elite Eight. Fredette, who recently broke Ainge’s career scoring record, knows it’s within reach. “I think we’ve had a successful year, a great year,” he said.
Another was dropped because of the death of a grandmother last weekend, and two more because they said jury duty would be a hardship. Illston denied three other hardship requests. Thirty-six underwent 70 minutes of questioning from Illston in the morning, and another hour from prosecutors and defense lawyers in the afternoon. After a break, Illston’s clerk read the numbers of the chosen 12 and two alternates — down from the four originally intended. Two jurors, both women, are black and 10 are white in a case that could see race become an issue. Juror No. 24, an Air Force veteran who was not selected, brought it up under questioning. “I pretty much think he was singled out because of his race,” the man said. Juror No. 56, one of the black women selected, said for baseball and the NFL the “commissioner’s office should deal with” steroids. “I think it’s up to them and not the government to be involved,” she said. Bonds, who in his playing days relaxed by leaning back in his black, leather recliner in the corner of the Giants clubhouse, was attired in a dark suit, white shirt and silver tie and sat in a brown swivel chair about 20 feet from the judge on the 19th floor of the Phillip Burton Federal Building. Bonds spent most of the day speaking quietly with his lawyers and looking at the jurors as they answered questions. A short distance away at the prosecution table, his back to Bonds, was Jeff Novitzky, the federal agent who has pursued athletes over drug allegations for eight years with dogged intensity. Bonds is the biggest star to face trial because of his efforts. Bonds’ legal team, which spilled over to a side table and the first row of spectator seats, outnumbered the government’s 13-5. When his primary lawyers, Ruby and Cristina C. Arguedas, gave their names for the record, Illston responded: “Is that it?”
DURHAM — Freshman Chelsea Gray scored all 13 of her points in the second half to help Duke rally from 11 down and beat Marist 7166 on Monday night in the second round of the NCAA tournament. Gray hit the go-ahead free throws with 2:27 left, part of an 11-0 run that helped the second-seeded Blue Devils (31-3) escape what would have been a stunning loss on their own home court. She also knocked down a long 3pointer to beat the shot clock, then followed her free throws by poking the ball loose from Kate Oliver and getting out in transition for a layup that capped the run and gave Duke a 65-60 lead with 1:33 left. Jasmine Thomas scored 17 points to lead the Blue Devils, who have won 16 straight NCAA games at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Duke advanced in the Philadelphia Regional to the round of 16 for the second straight year and will face third-seeded DePaul. Duke ended Marist’s 27game winning streak, which was the longest in the nation. Corielle Yarde scored 25 to lead the 10th-seeded Red Foxes (31-3), who led most of the night and had a
chance to force overtime. Trailing 69-66, Marist’s Leanne Ockenden missed a good look on a 3-pointer in the final seconds. Duke freshman Haley Peters came up with the rebound and hit two free throws with 1.9 seconds left to seal the win. UNC 86, Kentucky 74 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Italee Lucas scored 22 points and Jessica Breland added 18, helping North Carolina hold
off Kentucky 86-74 in the second round of the NCAA tournament Monday night, the Tar Heels’ superior size trumping the Wildcats’ awesome quickness. North Carolina (27-8) will face Stanford on Saturday in Spokane, Wash. The fifthseeded Tar Heels reached the round of 16 one year after going one-and-out in the NCAA tournament without Breland, who missed last season while
fighting cancer. The fourth-seeded Wildcats were led by Victoria Dunlap’s 23 points. Kentucky, which hasn’t beaten North Carolina in five tries, finished 25-9 a year after reaching the round of eight. North Carolina coach Sylvia Hatchell said Sunday that she was more than willing to turn this game into a “horse race” with the lightning quick Wildcats.
record is underappreciated. Brown’s worst season during his tenure was 9-4, and the Wonders never lost a firstround playoff game under Massey. “Go back and look — there’s no 6-5s and no 7-4s in there,” Lyon said. “And Ron’s teams were conference champs all but two seasons.” Brown has won so frequently for so long (the last losing season was in 1977) that there’s a belief the Wonders are blessed annually with superior athletes. That perception is mostly myth. It would be hard to name a Brown mega-star between Aundrae Allison, whose last season was 2001, and Travis Riley, who finished an injury-plagued career last fall. “A lot of people think we
just throw ’em out there,” Lyon said. “Believe me, there’s two or three times a year, when we’re the ones with a matchup problem. But this is still a blue-collar community, and as far as work ethic, I’d put our kids up there with anyone. Our kids outwork people, and we try to out-coach ’em.” Massey would never admit to out-coaching anyone, but there are times when he did — or his staff did. Hagler and the weight room where the clanging of metal and the growing of muscle never stops, also contributed to Massey’s success. “Building football players is a process,” Hagler explained. “Our freshmen don’t look any different than anyone else’s, but when they’re
juniors and seniors, we do expect them to look a little different.” Hagler’s son, Trace, is a freshman linebacker, so Massey’s retirement decision affected him on both a professional and personal level. “I was looking forward to my own son getting to play for Ron, and I guess that’s the ultimate compliment one coach can give another,” Hagler said. “I think this program is what high school sports is supposed to be about, and Ron’s been a very large part of that.” Massey held two full-time jobs for 11 years. Head football coach, with all the scrutiny and criticism that comes with that role in Kannapolis, is a load. Serving as athletics director, trying to do what’s right for a laundry list of oth-
er sports, is equally challenging. Massey said he’s been able to deal with the workload — he’s also handled driver’s ed — mostly because of Lyon, the assistant AD, and Susan Crites, the athletic secretary. “Sure, it’s been a lot, but I’ve had some great support from them and the adminstration,” Massey said. Massey won’t miss the headache of scheduling, but he will miss his relationships with players and coaches. Obviously, he’ll miss Friday nights at Memorial Stadium. He looks back on his 120 wins at Brown, including a trip to the state championship game in 2008, with a degree of satisfaction, although a lot of people wanted even more. “I sat down as a young
coach and laid out goals, and for the most part, I accomplished them,” he said. “Everyone wanted us to win state championships, and no one wanted that more than me. But as a coach, you just want to make sure you put a competitive team on the field every year. We did that. “Beyond the field, I think the kids that played here will look back on football as a positive experience and football will help lay the groundwork for what they’ll face in life.” The search has started for an individual, or perhaps individuals, to replace a good man who was part of something special for more than a decade. “The administration will find someone great,” Massey said. “I have no doubt.”

South catcher Eric Tyler, left, stumbles while trying to put the tag on Carson’s Gunnar Hogan.
CARSON FROM 1B the shouting — after South shortstop Dylan Goodman couldn’t get that elusive third out on a grounder by Youngo. Martin (2-1) strolled to the mound for the first time with a seven-run cushion, and with all the pressure off. He’s been pitching efficiently and entered the game with a 2.52 ERA, so there was little chance that South (5-3, 3-1) was going to climb all the way back. Martin’s RBI double pushed the lead to 8-0 in the second. Youngo got another run home when he hit into a fielder’s choice in the third.
The positive for South was it didn’t roll over in five innings as it did last year against the Cougars. A solid hit by Deason keyed a tworun third for South, and Matt Miller’s RBI single and a booming opposite-field triple by Dietz got two more runs home in the fifth against a tiring Martin. “We stuck in it,” Chrismon said. “I was proud of that.” With Carson’s lead reduced to 9-4 and with two South runners on base, Cauble summoned Ethan Free from the bullpen. He quieted South the rest of the way. “Martin pitched a great game,” Cauble said. “But he was up to 98 pitches, and that’s uncharted waters for him. He’s been in the 60s and
70s in his earlier games.” Carson tacked on three more in the sixth, with Galloway’s RBI double and Scottie Hinson’s RBI single — his first varsity hit — the key blows. Carson had a 2-4 record and was trailing 5-0 against West Rowan last Thursday. Rallying to win 6-5 against the Falcons has triggered a fourgame winning streak. “I think we just started pulling together better,” Youngo said. “We’ve been playing a lot more as a team.” South had a rough night, but there’s a long way to go. “The Carson game here last year was even uglier than this,” Dietz said. “It’s just one game, and we’ll work hard to get better.”

Doctors fail to fully explain blood disorder
Dear Reader: Polycythemia vera is a blood disorder in which bone marrow produces too many red blood cells. In some cases, it may also cause an overproduction of white blood cells and platelets. Whatever the reason, an excess of red blood cells DR. PETER causes the GOTT blood to thicken. Your husband may have had the condition for a number of years without ever knowing it. It’s likely he either finally developed symptoms or had laboratory work performed for another reason or as part of a routine annual examination. As the disorder progresses, patients develop symptoms and may experience headaches, fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath, tingling of the extremities and more. Blood is composed of three types of cells and a liquid known as plasma. The cells are erythrocytes (red blood cells) that carry oxygen throughout the body, white blood cells that fight infection and platelets that help the blood to clot. Under ordinary circumstances, the body regulates blood cells and the ratio of each type within the
body; however, in cases such as your husband’s, that control becomes impaired, and his bone marrow is producing an abnormal amount of specific cells. His blood test likely revealed an elevated level of hemoglobin and hematocrit, a low level of erythropoietin (a kidney hormone that stimulates the development of red blood cells in bone marrow) and oxygen levels lower than the normal range found in healthy people. Treatment may include medications to suppress his bone marrow’s ability to produce those blood cells, the use of low-dose aspirin, drawing off blood to reduce his blood volume and the number of blood cells he has (phlebotomy), and a recommendation by his physician or hematologist for an antihistamine, H2 receptor blocker or ultraviolet-light treatment to reduce any itching he may experience as a side effect of the polycythemia. He should avoid temperature extremes and the use of tobacco, exercise as much as his physician allows and be sure to watch for skin ulcers, particularly of the hands and feet, which can result from poor circulation.

.com/order—form.pdf. Dear Dr. Gott: I have a low pulse. What are the causes and the cure? Dear Reader: The normal heart beats between 60 and 100 times per minute when at rest. Lower rates in young people and athletes can be an indication of being physically fit through a training regimen. Other causes of bradycardia (a low pulse) are attributed to coronary-artery disease, hypothyroidism, an electrolyte imbalance, the use of some medications, such as those taken for hypertension, or, rarely, endocarditis or infection. Treatment depends on the cause. Without symptoms, your physician may choose to monitor you. If medication is involved, he or she may switch you to another brand. If there is damage to your heart’s electrical system, pacemaker insertion may be appropriate. On the home front, limit your alcohol intake, discontinue smoking, eat a low-salt, healthful diet, and exercise as much as your physician allows or recommends. Above all — follow his or her advice regarding follow-up care. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

Their bidding and lead tell you BY PHILLIP ALDER
Dear Dr. Gott: My husband has been diagnosed with polycythemia vera. He produces too many red blood cells. Tell me what to expect in your expert opinion. Our doctors don’t tell us too much, except that he should be OK.

Albert Camus, a French writer who worked actively with the Resistance during World War II, wrote, “Don’t walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me; I may not lead. Walk beside me and just be my friend.” Your partner is your friend, and sometimes your opponents will be too, perhaps unwittingly telling you what to do to make or break a contract. This deal is an example. Partner blasts you into four spades. West leads the heart ace: five, king, four. West leads a second heart, East taking the trick and shifting to a diamond. How would you continue? After North’s takeout double, your one-spade advance promised no points — you had to bid unless you had long and
strong hearts (the opener’s suit). Partner should have contented himself with rebidding three spades, which would have shown 20-22 points. But many players cannot avoid overbidding in this situation. Note East’s signal of the heart king at trick one, which indicated a suit headed by the king-queen-jack. When one cannot win a trick, one may play the top of touching honors. You have three top losers: two hearts and one club. You must play the trump suit without loss. Normally, that would involve taking a finesse, hoping West had the king. But can he in this deal? No! West passed over his partner’s opening bid and has already produced an ace. He cannot have the spade king as well. So, play a spade to dummy’s ace and hope the king comes tumbling down. An unlikely chance is better than none.
Writers guild reaches deal with Hollywood studios LOS ANGELES (AP) — The union representing more than 12,000 writers of Hollywood-made movies and TV shows has agreed to a tentative deal with the studios. The three-year agreement reached Sunday by the Writers Guild of America follows similar pacts reached in the last several months by two actors unions and the directors union. It locks in 2 percent wage increases for each year of the
deal. West and East Coast branches will need to approve the deal before it is sent to members for ratification. The agreement came after less than three weeks of bargaining and is a stark contrast to the dragged-out disputes of years past. A writers strike in 2008 shut down much of Hollywood for 100 days. In 2009, actors signed a shortened two-year pact after a year of public feuding.

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER A large low pressure system brings wet weather to the Central US on Tuesday as it skirts eastward from the Rockies. This system brought heavy snow to the Intermountain West, Great Basin, and Central Rockies, and now makes its way off the Rockies and into the Plains. Expect widespread scattered rain showers to develop across the Central Plains, Northern Plains and Upper Midwest. Highs ranging in the 40s will allow for mainly rain showers, but overnight lows will dip into the lower 30s, allowing for overnight snow showers to develop. Expect snowfall accumulation from 1 to 2 inches across the extreme North. The back side of this system will continue pulling cool and moist air into Montana and Wyoming, allowing for widespread scattered snow showers to persist. Further behind this system on the West Coast, another low pressure system approaches the North Coast of California. This pushes more moisture onshore, allowing for widespread scattered rain showers to persist from Washington to southern California. Meanwhile, in the East, a ridge of high pressure over the Gulf of Mexico extends over the South and stretches up the East Coast. This will bring mostly sunny skies with dry conditions. Expect highs to range in the 70s and 80s in the South, and in the 50s and 60s across New England.
