Woman dies four days after wreck
Scarred by tragedy Infant’s death haunts couple
KANNAPOLIS — A woman seriously injured when her SUV flipped last week died from her injuries Tuesday night. Julie Keels, a native of Salisbury, was left in critical condition after the wreck on Old Mocksville Road Friday morning. Keels’ father, Steven Keels, posted news of Keels’ death on Facebook: “Thanks for all the support from everyone who knew Julie. She passed away this evening with her family by her side.” KEELS A Facebook group has been created for Keels, called Thoughts and Prayers for Julie. Keels was a sociology major at Catawba College. Keels was thrown from her Ford Explorer about 8 a.m. when it flipped over several times and hit a utility pole. She was flown to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, where she was in the intensive care unit before her death.

EAST SPENCER — Samantha Doolittle woke up on her hands and knees in the middle of her bedroom surrounded by fire last Friday morning after some sensation pushed her out of her bed. She turned to look at her 3year-old’s bed, but Zachary wasn’t there, and then she turned to the crib, where 11week-old Jacob was sleeping. With flames shooting across the room, Doolittle said she stood up and got as close as she could to Jacob. “I went toward the crib and I couldn’t get there,” she said. “It was like something was there stopping me.” Samantha said she remembers stretching her arms, waving them, desperately trying to reach the crib, but she couldn’t grab Jacob. “I just feel like I was standing there and God wouldn’t let me go,” she said. “I believe God was holding my son. I believe he took him, made sure he was safe and then left.” Samantha’s husband, Joey, went back into the house three more times before the roof collapsed on his back and he was forced out without Jacob. Zachary got out of the home without injury, but Samantha and Joey suffered severe burns, and the wounds — physical and emotional — are going to take a time to heal. Their son will be buried Friday at Carolina Memorial Park in Kannapolis following a family visitation from 12 p.m. until 1 p.m. at Whitley’s Funeral Home, and a service in the main chapel. The Doolittles, who had no means of paying for Jacob’s funeral, were able to make the arrangements thanks to donations from the American Red Cross, the Veterans Association of America and local fire departments. The Lions Club is helping the Doolittles with a new pair of glasses, Rowan-Cabarrus Community College is also trying to raise funds for the family and the Salisbury-Rowan Burn Chil-

with toys at Samantha’s mother’s house Tuesday night. “He woke Joey up by grabbing his big toe and said, ‘Daddy get up, get up, get up.’ He saw that smoke. “If Zachary wouldn’t have woken up, my family would be burying all four of us.” ••• Jacob was big for his age, Samantha said. At 11 weeks, he
SALISBURY — After a miniature train ride in South Carolina took a deadly turn off the rails Saturday, local park officials say they will continue to take measures to ensure their trains are safe. Three of the trains depart from the Hurley Train Station at Dan Nicholas Park in Salisbury on warm-weather weekends. Children and their guardians ride on a track in compartments pulled by a pint-sized locomotive. Don Bringle, director of the Rowan County Parks and Recreation Department, said the North Carolina Department of Labor inspects the park’s trains and tracks annually. The park submitted a request for inspection in February and is waiting for a reply before the current inspection expires March 30. Village Park in Kannapolis also operates a miniature train ride. Manager George Hall said the park had its yearly state inspection last week and was told there were no problems. A park in Spartanburg, S.C., also passed such an inspection last week before a miniature train derailed and overturned, killing a 6-year-old boy and injuring 19 others. According to reports, a state safety inspector has been fired after admitting he falsified his report after failing to check the train for engine speed because the battery was dead. But state inspections are not the only safety measures taken at local parks, the officials said. Staff members at Dan Nicholas

Survivor: Memories so horrible they must not be forgotten BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
CONCORD — Dr. Susan Cernyak-Spatz never wants to forget the years she spent in a German concentration camp. Not the “awful stink” of billowing smoke that “hit her in the face like a fifthly rag” as she stepped out of a car at Auschwitz-Birkenau. “Nobody could define what it was because no one knew corpses were burning under those flames,” she said. Not the dehumanization she was subjected to, including being stripped naked, shaved and given a bowl out of which to eat, drink and relieve herself.

“We had no civilized utensils like a spoon, knife or fork ... we had to eat with our hands,” Cernyak-Spatz said. “We were animals.” Not the day that the Nazis tattooed the number 34042 on her left forearm. “The minute we received our tattoos there was no past and no future,” Cernyak-Spatz said. No, Cernyak-Spatz does not want to forget. That would be too easy, she said. “If we forget the past, our country, the world, are condemned to repeat it,” she said. “My main mission right now is to influence as many young people of the next generation not to forget.” Today’s forecast 83º/52º Partly cloudy
• • • Cernyak-Spatz, a retired German literature professor from UNC-Charlotte, is fulfilling that mission by traveling across the country and overseas to tell her story. “If we let 6 million people who died a horrible death be forgotten, we kill them again,” she said. Cernyak-Spatz spoke to an audience of more than 150 people at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College’s South Campus on Tuesday. “It’s a story that needs to be told over and over and over again, so that we will never forget,” said Kannapolis resident Karole Northrup, a UNCCharlotte student.

go to the warehouse and put on as much warm clothing as they possibly could. She said the march was the Nazis final attempt to exterminate them despite losing the way. To this day, Cernyak-Spatz said she’s not sure what made the head commander warn the prisoners about the walk. “He saved 500 people’s lives. There were very few who were outfitted like we were,” she said Cernyak-Spatz was finally free when her march ended at an American checkpoint. “All of a sudden I could turn, sit, lay down ... no one was giving me any orders,” she said. “All of a sudden I had to make my own decisions. “That was a strange feeling, that was my liberation.” • • • Despite surviving the experience, Ceryak-Spatz said her faith in both humanity and God is fractured. “Humanity forgets too quickly the mistakes that were made,” she said. “That is a frightening thing.” She encouraged students to “stay human” and “stay a messenger.” “If in doing a job it mean you would hurt another human being, say no,” she said. And Ceryak Spatz said if anybody who survived the Holocaust says the experience heightened their religion “they’re lying.” “When I came out of the camp I could not believe in any God, it simply was not possible,” she said. “I refuse and reject a God that watched over the Holocaust.” Contact reporter Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

• • • said Cernyak-Spatz woman who were selected to work at the camp were not free from death’s grip. Instead, they died slowly from disease and starvation. “Prisoners would be so mentally and physically dehumanized they would be eager to get into the gas,” she said. “Dying was no art.” She said each day was a lesson in survival. The first lesson, was to find a top bunk because when guards didn’t empty buckets of urine at night, prisoners would be forced to use their bowls, which they emptied beside their bunks. “The person underneath got it on the head,” she said. Finding an inside job was the next lesson because “outside you died.” Cernyak-Spatz said that since she knew several languages she would translate for another prisoner who worked in the camp’s adminstration building. That connection led her to an officer who had a mutual acquaintance. “It was immediately her duty to get me out of the new arrival block and get me an inside job,” she said. “I was unbelievable fortunate ... that saved my life.” She ended up working at a warehouse where 500 prisoners sorted and bundled clothing that was taken from each prisoner. Cernyak-Spatz said that turned out to be her ultimate lifesaver. Before Nazi soliders arrived to take the prisoners on a final march to the border, a head commander told them to

Cernyak-Spatz spent years as a refugee, moving several times to avoid Nazi brutality. Her family moved from her hometown of Vienna to Prague in 1938. A day before the German invasion of Prague, her father fled to Poland with the intention of sending for her and her mother after reaching safety. She didn’t see him again until after the war. Cernyak-Spatz and her mother were deported to Theresienstadt, a Nazi ghetto in what is now the Czech Republic. Cernyak-Spatz said the ghetto was being used as a “false front” to convince other nations that the Jews were being treated well. “I always have to think that the free world was either so stupid or so indifferent to believe that,” she said. “And since I have to believe the free world wasn’t that stupid, I believe they were indifferent.” At Theresienstadt, Cernyak-Spatz said she also experienced her first “selection.” “During the Holocaust the word selection took a very sinister meaning — selection meant life or death,” she said. “People would be selected by either staying in Theresienstadt or going east to one of five camps.” At the age of 18, she was sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau. She was separated from her
mother, who she never saw again. “When I say today that I considered myself lucky to only have been sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau. it sounds strange,” she said. “But Auschwitz was a concentration camp not an extermination camp and out of a concentration camp you could exit alive.” On the way to the camp, Cernyak-Spatz said she didn’t have any “philosophical” thoughts. “People always ask me what I felt and what I thought,” she said. “At that point you don’t think of anything but how the hell will I survive.” • • • When Cernyak-Spatz arrived at Auschwitz in January 1943, she faced another selection process. Being young and healthy, she was deemed good for labor. Girls under the age of 14, women with children, those older than 40 and the “feeble and frail” were not so lucky. She said they were sent straight to the gas chamber. To keep the women calm, Nazi officers assured them they were taking a warm shower and would be reunited with their families soon, she said. “Sometimes they would even give these women a piece of soap,” she said. “Not until the doors would close and the shower head would not give out water did they know something terrible was happening.” It would only take about five minutes for the deadly gas to take its toll.

LANDIS — A two-alarm fire gutted a house at 213 W. Hoke St. on Tuesday. The blaze started about 10:50 a.m. and quickly ripped through the two-story home of Tony and Tammy Wise, spreading from the first floor to the second and then to the attic. Firefighters arrived to find smoke pouring from the structure. They entered the home aggressively, putting out flames on the first floor then moving onto the second. Because of renovations to the second floor, however, they were unable to find the entrance to the attic, Landis Fire Chief Reed Linn said. With flames spreading, firefighters retreated and fought the blaze from outside. They worked from all four sides of the home and from above using a ladder truck. The home’s roof partially collapsed. Linn said high winds helped spread the fire, and because the home was older construction, there were no fire stops to prevent the flames spreading room to room. The wind also blew thick black smoke from the fire throughout downtown Landis. Visibility down Hoke Street at one point was only about 100 yards. People standing away from the home could feel heat from the fire. No one was home at the

New hospitalist program makes patient care more efficient eford@salisburypost.com
SPENCER — In a combined meeting, the Spencer Board of Aldermen and Spencer Planning Board discussed how to get businesses to locate there. Officials can’t control every one of the factors involved. But there is one factor the two boards agreed to consider: multiple business uses under the same roof. Right now, each structure is allowed one principal use, and a permit can be issued for a business there in a matter of days. But adding an additional use at the same site — for instance, a bookstore that also wants to act as a coffee shop — would require the Planning Board’s approval. And that can potentially add months to the process. Alderman Jeff Morris said there was no real reason for that to be the case. “If someone wants to have a bait, tackle and religious novelty shop, all of which are permitted uses, they should be able to do that,� Morris said. Jim Gobbel of the Planning Board said that the current regMORRIS ulations wouldn’t automatically prevent that. But in the discussion that unfolded afterward, members of both boards came to a consensus that getting rid of “principal� uses might be positive. Morris said that, in a market driven by supply and demand, a demand for a business should be easier to meet. “If there’s something that doesn’t harm public health, safety and welfare, it should be permitted,� Morris said. Similar changes to that effect are already being made. Earlier Tuesday at their own meeting, members of the Planning Board voted unanimously to allow pawn shops as a permitted use in the central business district. Mayor Jody Everhart said there have been pawn shops downtown before, but not since the
using hospitalists can lower the cost and length of hospital stays by 10 percent to 20 percent. During its public debut Tuesday, the program received an endorsement from longtime Salisbury physician Joel Goodwin, now retired. “I applaud the hospital for this,� Goodwin said. “Great job.� Dr. Doug Shellhorn, hospitalist medical director and a physician with Rowan Diagnostic Clinic, discussed the program at the Salisbury Rotary Club, where hospital President Dari Caldwell is a member and organized the
presentation. NovantHealth, which owns the hospital, contracted with Shellhorn and Rowan Diagnostic about 18 months ago to provide hospitalist services. Using hospitalists prevents physicians from leaving their clinic to treat patients in the hospital. “It is stressful to need to be in two, three, four places at the same time,� Goodwin said. To coordinate each patient’s care, hospitalists communicate with primary care physicians and doctors who specialize in areas
like cardiology and pulmonology. “The hospitalist acts as the quarterback,� Shellhorn said. Some patients have been confused about why their physician can no longer admit them, Shellhorn said. As people become more familiar with the program, they will become more comfortable, he said. Dr. Albert Aymer, president of Hood Theological Seminary, said he’s concerned that many of Rowan Regional’s hospitalists are right out of residency.

Because it has cut its fiscal year 2012 budget beyond Rowan County’s required amount, the social services department is asking the county for some new positions and funding. The Rowan County Department of Social Services approved a budget Tuesday that will be sent to county commissioners for approval. The county funding in the department’s continuation budget was reduced by $263,032 to about $7.4 million. “The goal was to reduce the budget by $200,579,� said Jane Johnson, the department’s budget analyst. “That was the mandate set for us by the finance department as part of their countywide goal. ... We found $62,453 more we felt we could give up.� The department also submitted expansion budget requests for new items totaling $127,475, including three new positions, one expanded position, public assistance for “Share the Warmth� and file room renovations. The new positions include a food and nutrition services caseworker, a family and children’s Medicaid caseworker and a temporary social worker. In addition, the department’s existing safety officer would be brought on fulltime. Director Sandra Wilkes said the renovation of a file room to convert it to office space, which would cost the county about $54,000, is not an immediate need. “You may choose for us not to include it in our budget for this year,� Wilkes said, “but we want to make you aware when we do need additional space — in another three or four years, perhaps — you will have an idea of what the cost would be at this time.� County Commissioner Jim Sides, who is a voting member of the board, made a motion to approve the department’s budget request with the exception of that item, bringing the total for new items to $73,773.

Spencer considers tax rate options BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com
SPENCER — It’s still too early to know what the property tax rate will be in Spencer for the next budget year. Faced with a loss of property values due to revaluation, the town would have to raise property taxes in order to maintain the same amount of income. Tuesday, Aldermen Reid Walters and Jeff Morris addressed a called meeting of the town board. They wanted to discuss whether the board should instruct Town Manager Larry Smith to plan for a budget that keeps the current tax rate of 60 cents per $100 of value.
DEBATE FROM 3a current zoning ordinances were adopted. Land Management Director Dustin Wilson said the decision was a response to a request by a potential business owner. Alderman Tracy Aitken expressed some concern over the potential combinations of businesses. Others said the market would sort that out — that businesses would only open if there was demand. Gobbel said caution ought to be exercised. “Zoning is a system of checks and balances,” he said. What Gobbel said has been a problem is the town’s sign ordinance. The Spencer Historic Preservation Commission places strict requirements on business signage. Several aldermen men-
EFFICIENT FROM 3a “I would rather have my primary care looking after me,” Aymer said. Shellhorn said he understands the concern and has instituted a mentoring program for the hospitalists who are new doctors. “We have to groom them and let them grow,” he said. Regardless of their speciality, doctors can’t learn everything in medical school, Shellhorn said. Cultivating relationships with other physicians is crucial to a doctor’s development, he said. Hospitalists communicate with other doctors to better understand issues involved in a patient’s care, he said. Once a patient is discharged, Shellhorn said, he often calls the primary care physician as a follow-up. Hospitalists can shorten a patient’s stay, he said. Long hospital stays can lead to infections, blood clots and loss
Not everyone saw a need to give that instruction. For one thing, the tax rate is not set until a budget is approved. And, for another, the N.C. League of Municipalities has not yet released sales tax revenue information that Smith will need to plan the budget proposal. Alderman Delaine Fowler said it was the board’s job to be frugal with taxpayer dollars. “Reduce when you can and make government more efficient,” Fowler said. She said the town cannot continue to raise taxes. But that means cuts will have to happen. Current projections show the tax rate would have to go
up by 5.6 cents to keep the same amount of money coming in after the revaluation. Morris asked his colleagues to support a budget that would keep the tax rate at 60 cents, with no cuts to police or fire protection. Walters said it was time for the town to maintain what it already offers. No official action was taken. Mayor Jody Everhart called on aldermen not to micromanage the budget process. “Let’s see what we have to offer, and keep the lines of communication open,” Everhart said.

tioned hearing from business owners about problems meeting those criteria, including cases where signs they’d paid for were not permitted. It was Robert Nance of the Planning Board who brought up the issue of public perception. “Real commercial businesses ... are looking at rooftops, they’re looking at income.” He said that, within Rowan County, there was a perception that the North Rowan district’s schools aren’t as good. As a result, that was keeping more families from moving to the area. “I don’t know why,” Nance said. “I don’t know anything about the North schools.” But a lack of residents would, in turn, would keep bigbox stores and national chains away. On the plus side, Nance said, a concerted marketing effort could help spread the word about Spencer’s opportunities. Aitken also said that a mar-
keting approach for small towns, similar to what Downtown Salisbury Inc. does in the city, could help attract business investment. Other changes that were discussed include minor adjustments to reduce costs for businesses. One example: not requiring a full gutter and curb in asphalt parking lots if an engineer says there’s little chance of erosion. Members of both boards agreed there’s no easy solution to bring more businesses downtown. But they left with a consensus that they should keep the lines of communication open. Everhart invited the Planning Board to meet with them again, especially during the upcoming meeting with Robert Van Geons of the SalisburyRowan Economic Development Corp.
of muscle tone. “The longer we keep people in the hospital, the more bad things happen to them,” Shellhorn said. Doctors often make multiple decisions throughout the day for each hospitalized patient. Having hospitalists onsite at all hours can move patients more quickly to discharge while cutting readmission rates, Shellhorn said. In 2012, Medicare will begin penalizing hospitals for readmission rates above 10 percent to 12 percent. Readmission is defined as re-hospitalization within 30 days. Rowan Diagnostics ran a similar program from 1996 to 2006, when the clinic’s physicians admitted unassigned patients. The clinic eventually pulled out, Shellhorn said, but approached Novant in 2009 about offering the hospitalist program. Hospitalists have gone from admitting 40 patients a day in 2009 to as many as 120 patients a day now, he said. Rowan Diagnostic has two
six-member teams of hospitalists that switch every Wednesday. They work 12-hour shifts during their appointed week. Five physicians at the clinic serve as dual hospitalists, treating patients in both the hospital and clinic. They are Shellhorn, Christopher Agner, Frederick Goss, Sean Malone and Brent Seifert, according to the clinic’s website. Rowan Diagnostic also has four mid-level providers — physician assistants and nurse practitioners who work in support of the primary and dual hospitalists. Rowan Regional has the only private hospitalist program in the Novant system. At other facilities, hospitalists are employed by Novant. “This is a very unique system,” Shellhorn said. “It shows Novant is willing to do things differently.” About 90 percent of hospitals nationwide now use hospitalists, Shellhorn said.

Toss your old meds in Operation Medicine Drop KANNAPOLIS — The Kannapolis Police Department will dispose of old and unneeded medications at an Operation Medicine Drop event from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the Kannapolis Train Station, 201 S. Main St. Officers will be on hand to accept the medication and ensure it is properly disposed of, and a pharmacist will answer questions concerning medication. Operation Medicine Drop is a statewide initiative to provide a safe way to dispose of prescription or over-thecounter medications. Members of the public are invited to take-back events be-
ing staged across the state to drop off medications. Law enforcement partners will help dispose of the medications in the same secure way they dispose of other drug items. The initiative is a partnership of Safe Kids North Carolina, the N.C. Department of Insurance, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, the State Bureau of Investigation and other local agencies throughout the state. When excess medications are kept around the home, they create dangerous opportunities for prescription drug abuse or accidental poisonings, a press release from the city said.
Poisonings from prescription medications have increased in recent years in North Carolina. While most parents and caregivers are familiar with poisoning hazards presented by cleaning supplies, the N.C. Division of Public Health reports that since 1999, more than 75 percent of all unintentional poisonings were caused by prescription or over-thecounter medications. The best way to prevent poisoning is to remove the risk from the environment, the city press release said. In 2010, its first year, Operation Medicine Drop retrieved and destroyed more
than 2 million dosages of medications at nearly 200 takeback events across North Carolina. Here are statistics provided by Operation Medicine Drop: • The average North Carolinian fills 14 prescriptions annually, which adds up to over 127 million prescriptions filled statewide each year. Studies show that as much as 40 percent of the drugs dispensed are never used. • Since 1999, about 4,500 in North Carolina have died from prescription drug poisoning. • More than 75 percent of all unintentional poisonings involve over-the-counter and
prescription medications. • About 40 percent of injuries from unintentional poisonings occur in children younger than 5. • One in five teens has abused prescription stimulants and tranquilizers. • In 2004, the United States Geological Survey identified 100 different pharmaceuticals in surface water. • Significant contamination is occurring in North Carolina and in over 80 percent of U.S. waterways that have been tested.

Annual walk Saturday to raise funds for multiple sclerosis research SALISBURY — The J.F. Hurley Family YMCA will host the eighth annual Walk MS: Salisbury beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday. The event is a community fundraising walk benefiting the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Sue Turner, 61, of Salisbury, will walk this weekend because she lives with multiple sclerosis, an unpredictable neurological disease for which there is no cure. “I walk to raise money for a cure, because a cure would keep someone
else from having to give up all their dreams like I did when I found out that I had MS,” Turner said in a press release. “I’m going to keep on walking as long as I can.” To participate in Walk MS: Salisbury as a walker or volunteer, register online at www.CarolinasWalkMS.org or call 1-800-FIGHT-MS. Registration will also be available the morning of the event beginning at 9 a.m. Walk MS events, held in 14 cities across the region this spring, are the rallying point for families affected by
multiple sclerosis, which occurs when the body mistakenly attacks the protective covering on nerves, called myelin. This disrupts the flow of information within the brain and between the brain and the body, causing symptoms ranging from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. Symptoms vary from person to person and from day to day. There is currently no cure for MS, but research funded by the National MS Society has assisted in breakthrough treatment advances, includ-
ing the first oral medication to replace daily needle injections, approved by the FDA last year. In addition to research, the National MS Society funds local programs and services to help people affected by multiple sclerosis, including financial assistance, education events, couples and family retreats, college scholarships, advocacy and more. For more information about the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the National MS Society, visit www.nationalMSsociety. org/mac.
Plan puts North Carolina health insurance on chopping block RALEIGH (AP) — Rising costs are pushing legislators to plug a looming $515 million gap in the health insurance plan for state workers, teachers and retirees by cutting benefits and forcing active workers to pay a monthly portion for the first time. The broad legislation unveiled Tuesday also would scrap a provision adopted two years ago that pushed smokers and those who were very obese into less-generous coverage until they quit puffing or lost weight. The measure recommended by the Senate Insurance Committee would force active state employees who now pay nothing for their own health
coverage to begin paying monthly premiums in July of nearly $11 if they are in a basic plan and nearly $22 a month if they are in a higher tier plan. Eighty percent of the state plan’s 663,000 members are active or retired employees who insure only themselves. Premiums for dependents would increase 5.2 percent each of the next two years. Those costs rose nearly 9 percent annually in 2009 and 2010. Legislators are forced to cut the plan’s benefits and raise premiums at a time a state budget shortfall of $2.4 billion is looming in the year beginning in July, said Sen.
Tom Apodaca, R-Henderson, the health plan revamp’s architect. “We were looking at $515 million hole and we didn’t have the finances to plug that,” he said. Gov. Beverly Perdue last month proposed plugging the gap with a plan that allows active and retired employees to continue to pay nothing for their own basic coverage but would draw more from taxpayers. The program’s costs have gone from $2.6 billion in 2009 to an expected $2.9 billion in the year beginning in July and $3.1 billion the following year. The legislative proposal
also would shift responsibility for the plan from lawmakers to state Treasurer Janet Cowell’s office. The General Assembly’s oversight was faulted two years ago, when the poorly run plan required $675 million from taxpayers. That shift in oversight was a high priority for the union representing more than 90,000 state employees, who face higher costs and reduced benefits likely to draw complaints, State Employee Association of North Carolina lobbyist Ardis Watkins said. “It’s a big bill. We’re not going to like everything in it. We’re not going to hate everything in it,” Watkins said. An enrolled family now
paying $490 per month in the plan that requires higher copays, coinsurance and deductibles would pay $515 starting this July 1 and $543 beginning July 2012. Family coverage in the lower-deductible plan would rise from $580 a month to $610 in July and $642 a year later. Annual deductibles, copays for medical and pharmacy benefits, and coinsurance maximums all would increase beginning in July as part of $130 million in benefit reductions over the next two years. The premium increases for employees and retirees are expected to raise $287 million. Taxpayers would pay an additional $137 million.

Authorities said teacher Christine Mullins was assaulted by Shiquanna Rucker, 18, of 505 E. Main St., Cleveland, following a fight in a classroom. According to the report, the fight broke out about 7:30 a.m. in a neighboring classroom. Mullins became concerned after she heard commotion in the hallway. Mullins told authorities she went into the hallway to try to get students back into their classrooms. Mullins said Darius Rucker, 19, brother of Shiquanna, pushed her, trying to get to his sister. The report said Shiquanna Rucker was trying to assault 17year-old Natalia Little. Somehow, Shiquanna Rucker assaulted Mullins, the report said. Another female, Tiera Ellis, 18, was involved in the fight. Ellis and Shiquanna Rucker were suspended from the school. Mullins reported to school authorities that she had a bruise on her forearm, and was suffering chest and back pain. Darius Rucker was called to the office for questioning, and he apologized to Mullins, the report said. He was then suspended for five days and cited by the school resource officer for disorderly conduct. Warrants for the arrest of Shiquanna Rucker and Ellis, of 250 Four Lakes Drive, Cleveland, were issued Monday. Shiquanna Rucker will be charged with disorderly conduct and assault on a school employee and Ellis will be charged with simple assault and disorderly conduct.

The department also expects to spend less on special assistance, adoption cash and vendor payments according to projected need. Many other items were reduced due to lost funding, cost reductions or non-recurring expenses. Board member John Blair complimented department staff on their work. “I think you all have done a very good job as usual,” Blair said. “I know what hard work it is to do one of these and think through the various possibilities.” Other board members in attendance at Tuesday’s meeting were Ruth Kennerly, Board Chair Lillian Morgan and County Commissioner Carl Ford.
“If you subtract the $62,000 from the extra found in the continuation budget, there would only be about $12,000 county dollars needed for expansion items,” Johnson said. Sides also praised the department’s imaging project, which emptied the file room as physical records were digitized. He said it has saved the department space, time and effort by making records more manageable. “Something that seemed like an enormous cost up front has really been a benefit to us,” Sides said, adding that other places in the county will be using the technology as well.

GREENSBORO (AP) — A judge in Greensboro says prosecutors can seek a death sentence against two men accused of killing a man and his 7-year-old son during a robbery in October. The News & Record of Greensboro reports that Arshaq Allah, 33, and Cedrick Brian Cunningham, 34, both of Greensboro, are charged with two counts of murder and one count of armed robbery. Marquise Steens, 31, and his son, Malique, were found dead at Steens’ home Oct. 23. A prosecutor told the judge that Allah had bragged to a woman that he had killed a man and his son. Assistant District Attorney Kelly Thompson said the death penalty was warranted because the deaths occurred during a robbery. Prosecutors say the men got away with about $150 in cash and about $150 in marijuana.

The Charlotte Observer reported that about 79 percent of Queens’ two-year nursing program graduates passed the national nursing exam on the first try over the past three years. North Carolina requires schools to have a first-time passing rate of at least 83 percent. Queens has increased admission requirements and reduced class size. The school was warned last year and in 2009 about its national exam graduation rate and has two years to improve. The dean of the nursing program at Queens, Bill Cody, says changes have been made but there hasn’t been enough time for the changes to show up in test results.

Woman sues AT&T over phone line insurance WILMINGTON (AP) — An 82-year-old Wilmington woman has sued AT&T, saying the communications company continued to charge her for insurance on the phone wires in her apartment even though upkeep for them are her landlord’s responsibility. In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court, lawyers for Gloria Girton are asking a judge to make her lawsuit a class action case both in North Carolina and nationally. Girton’s lawyers say she pays $9.99 a month for the protection, just like thousands of other AT&T customers who live in rental housing where landlords are required to pay for repairs if there are phone line problems. The lawsuit says AT&T reached a settlement seven years ago in a similar case in California. AT&T spokesman Marty Richter says the company hasn’t seen the lawsuit and cannot comment.
In other business The Board of Social Services also: • Received a report from Gary Price, director of Rowan Transit Services, on the status of the Medicaid Transportation program. He said the county no longer reimburses about 70 individuals for transportation to the McLeod Center methodone clinic in Concord. Instead, it is working with RTS resources and local taxicab companies to provide transportation for them, in order to reduce excess costs and the risk of fraud. • Heard about the upcoming Pinwheels for Prevention program at 10 a.m. on April 1. In North Carolina, April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. A pinwheel garden will be planted at the Rowan County Department of Social Services to celebrate happy, healthy childhoods. The children’s choir from Partners in Learning will perform. • Heard a comment from county resident Robert Boone suggesting that DSS start a program for the families of prisoners in Rowan County. Later, Budget Analyst Jane Johnson said this is a good idea, but the department is limited by the money it receives and the cost of its mandated programs.

Easy as pie with Martha Stewart’s latest cookbook BY MICHELE KAYAL Associated Press
Whoever coined the phrase “easy as pie” clearly didn't bake much. Enter Martha Stewart... Again. Stewart's latest cookbook — simply named “Pies and Tarts”— offers more than 150 recipes whose clear instructions, gorgeous photos and brevity (all recipes fit on one page) take the intimidation out of pastry. Organized by category from “classic” (think apple) to “free-form” (no pie plate handy?) to “artful” (double lattice crusts, shingled leaves), the book lets users pick pies according to their skill and occasion. From savory tarts to mile-high meringues, the range of pastries offered makes the book useful for dinner or dessert, winter or summer, weeknights and weekends. Mini chicken potpies with herbed crust make a hearty winter meal, while vegetable tartlets filled with zucchini and tomatoes are an elegant summer lunch. Everyday desserts such as the fruit tart with a cookie-like crust can be made all year long with whatever’s in the market, and free-form galettes — in which the dough is simply rolled and folded over a mound of fresh fruit — are easy enough for a busy Tuesday night. Even special occasion desserts like billowy Key lime pie with graham cracker crust and dainty tartlets filled with persimmon and caramel cream appear straightforward. For the holidays, you've got Neapolitan Easter pie filled with wheat berries and ricotta and a berry tart snuggled into a macaroon-like crust of coconut and egg white. And it is flourand dairy-free for Passover. True to the formula of Stewart’s books, an instructional chapter offers the 1-2-3 of crust making, excellent tips about freezing ingredients so you’re ready when guests pop by, and a graduated lesson on mastering pie-making skills from single-crust affairs to driedfruit compotes with star-lattice designs. Who knows? Maybe it was Stewart who called pie-making “easy.”

Coconut and Berry Passover Tart This simple berry-topped tart is perfect for Passover. It sports a coconut crust that is both chewy and crispy, a pudding-like vanilla-almond filling and mounds of fresh fruit. Start to finish: 1 hour 15 minutes (plus cooling) Servings: 8 For the crust: 2 C. unsweetened shredded coconut 1 ⁄2 C. sugar 2 large eggs, separated 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 ⁄4 teaspoon salt For the filling: 1 ⁄2 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise 1 ⁄2 C. vanilla soy milk 4 Tbs. sugar, divided 2 tsp. arrowroot or cornstarch 2 tablespoons almond paste 1 C. almond flour 1 ⁄2 C. soy cream cheese (preferably Tofutti) 5 Tbsp. apricot jam 4 C. mixed fresh berries, such as sliced strawberries, blueberries and raspberries Heat the oven to 350 degrees. To prepare the crust, in a medium bowl combine the coconut, sugar, the 2 egg whites, vanilla and salt. Press the mixture into the bottom and up sides of a 9-inch round fluted tart pan with removable bottom. Set aside. To make the filling, scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into a small saucepan, then add the pod. Set over mediumhigh heat, then stir in the soy milk and 2 tablespoons of the sugar. Bring to a boil. In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 egg yolks, arrowroot and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Add the hot soymilk mixture in a slow, steady stream, whisking until combined.

Beverages contain calories, too n last week’s article, you set goals for the next 13 weeks, to include both your short-term goal to lose the weight and your lifetime goal to maintain a healthy weight. One important factor is beverages. Beverages can contain a lot of calories, and the type of beverages we consume can affect our weight. Often, when we think about how many calories we are consuming, we leave out the calories that we have consumed as beverages. There is evidence that the body does not respond to calories in beverages the same way as it does to calories in food. Since your body TOI may not register the calories DEGREE you drink, you could end up consuming more calories than you need. Calories from liquid may not help you feel full. Or another way of looking at this is that your body just doesn’t “feel” the calories from beverages like it does from food. The calories in beverages are stealth calories and can cause you to consume more calories than you need. Several research studies point to decreasing sugar-sweetened beverages as a good strategy to decrease calories and help manage weight. One study found that women who cut back on their consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages reduced their daily intake by about 300 calories. Any beverage that is sweetened with sugar or another calorie-containing sweetener (such as high-fructose corn sweetener) contains calories. These include regular soda, lemonade, sweet tea, sports drinks, fruit drinks and coffee drinks. Milk, juice and alcoholic beverages also contain calories. Not only are soft drinks everywhere, but they are larger than they used to be. For instance, the Coke bottle has gotten a lot larger over the years. When Coke was introduced in 1916, it was only available in 6ounce bottles that had 79 calories. Today, the norm is a 16-ounce (or even larger) bottle that has almost 200 calories. Portions of soft drinks served at restaurants have also increased. A small soft drink has around 150 calories, while the largest size has around 400 calories. Automobile manufacturers have even installed larger cup holders in newer car models to accommodate the larger sizes of drinks. If you are a soda drinker and would like to find out how much sugar you favorite soda has in it, visit sugar stacks to find out at: www.sugarstacks.com/beverages.htm. Or watch this short clip for the Today Show http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/10697344 for an even more interactive visual and to find out what foods you can eat in place of those empty soft drink calories that will actually fill you up. Of course you know that all those extra calories equal extra pounds. How do the extra calories affect your weight? If you drink two regular sodas a day for a year – each soda containing 150 calories, you take in 109,500 calories a year. Divide that number by 3,500 calories (the number of calories in one pound). That is 31 pounds. With everything else being the same (i.e., no change in physical activity or food and beverage intake), you would gain 31 pounds in a year by drinking these two soft drinks per day. So what is the solution? Limiting your intake of these beverages on a daily basis. Try these re-think your drink strategies. • Choose water. Drinking water is the best strategy to re-think your drink. It is the perfect beverage — calorie-free, sugar-free, fat-fee and almost free (if you drink tap water). • Keep water and calorie-free beverages on hand at work, in the car and at home. • Avoid keeping sugar-sweetened beverages at home or work. • Carry a water bottle with you and refill it throughout the day. • Choose carbonated, calorie-free water. • Add slices of lemon, lime, orange or other fruit. • Add a splash of juice. • Eat whole fruit instead of drinking fruit juice. An orange has about 60 calories and an 8-ounce glass of orange juice has 110 calories. • Choose skim milk. • Choose diet beverages sweetened with low-calorie, artificial sweeteners instead of sugar-sweetened drinks. • Decrease the amount of sugar you add to tea. Sweeten tea with artificial sweetener or drink unsweetened tea. They key message is: Changing from calorie-containing beverages to caloriefree beverages may be an easy way to decrease total calories. Next week we will learn how to make low-calorie choices in all the food groups. Don’t forget to select a strategy (from this week’s topic) to work on for the week and have a good week!

Online organizing trick with free backup, too I can’t be completely sure, but I have a feeling that given the collective wisdom of my “Everyday Cheapskateâ€? readers, there's not a household problem we cannot solve or a sticky situation we cannot rectify. Today’s selection of great reader tips proves that. • Yahoo! electronic organizing. Instead of organizing things in three-ring binders, I make folders on my Yahoo mail page where I file my e-mails. So far, I have 24 categories, including bills, business, Facebook and to health, MARY name a few. HUNT The best thing about this is that I can use the mail “searchâ€? function to find things. The information stays there no matter what happens to my computer, because it's in my stored Yahoo e-mail. — Teresa, e-mail • Vases to go. Each spring, my kids want to take flowers to teachers and coaches. To keep my good vases at home, I make disposable kid-friendly ones by trimming off the narrow tops of plastic water and juice bottles. Presto! Vases that won't break and don't have to be returned. — Audrey, Washington • Months to spend. In my efforts to curb spending, I decided that every other month, I wouldn't spend any more than my normal budgeted monthly amount. So because I spent money in January, I didn't in February. And if I spend in March, I won't in April. I've been doing this for a while, and it works great. It helps me control impulse buying, eliminates the back and forth of “should I or shouldn't I?â€? and really saves me money. — Kathleen, California

Mom divides estate while siblings squabble Dear Amy: My mother is in her late 80s. She is planning on dividing her estate equally between my brother and me. However, I have recently learned that over the last 20 years, my brother has borrowed $160,000 from her. He has never tried to repay this debt and has never paid any interest ASK on the money. AMY My mother’s response is that when she dies, I immediately get $160,000 off the top of her estate before the estate is divided. I too, have borrowed from our mother, but I have repaid all the money, with interest, according to a contract. My objection is that my brother’s unpaid money would be worth far more than $160,000. Even if he were charged a low interest rate of 3 percent or 4 percent, over a 20-year period that money would be worth two to three times that amount. My mother became angry when I pointed this out to her. Am I being unreasonable in voicing my opinion? My brother is more than happy

Sex can be lethal for out-of-shape slackers CHICAGO (AP) — Sex and exercise can trigger heart attacks in older people who don’t get much of either, a new analysis finds. The risk is low, but it’s a good reminder that slackers should change their exercise habits gradually, especially in middle age. People who exercise regularly have a much smaller risk of having a heart attack immediately after sexual or physical activity, said lead author Dr. Issa Dahabreh of Tufts Medical Center in Boston. “It would be really bad if someone
thought our paper means people should not exercise,� Dahabreh said. “If anything, it’s the opposite.� The analysis, appearing in today’s Journal of the American Medical Association, combined results from 14 studies involving more than 6,000 patients. The studies involved only people who’d had heart attacks or had died suddenly from a heart problem. The studies looked at what the people were doing during the hour or two before their heart attacks and compared that to the
same people’s activity on normal days with no major heart problems. Physical activity and sex increased the risk of heart attack by a factor of about three, according to the analysis of the pooled results. Exercise increased the risk of sudden cardiac death by nearly five times. The researchers didn’t find a triggering relationship between sex and sudden cardiac death, that is, a sudden death from a heart problem. The risk for any one person is extremely low.

CHOICE NEIGHBORHOOD GRANT
Winning day for West End Guns across the border he pernicious links between neighborhood decay, high poverty rates and low-performing schools are well documented. Even so, it’s sobering to skim through the list of the federal Choice Neighborhood Grant award recipients announced this week and see that confirmed in cities across the nation. The projects receiving grant money to improve distressed neighborhoods represent diverse geographical areas, from Salisbury to Providence, R.I., to Memphis, Tenn., and Kansas City, Mo. Yet there’s also a bleak familiarity to the landscapes described. In Memphis, the area targeted for revitalization includes a poverty rate of 69 percent, rising violent crime and low-performing schools. You can apply that same template to Kansas City, where Chouteau Courts, an old public housing site, sits amid “high concentrations of poverty (44 percent) and the school district tests in the bottom 7 percent of the state standard,” or to almost any other grant recipient. Salisbury received $170,000 to complete a revitalization plan for the West End neighborhood, with rebuilding of the Civic Park Apartments a core element. As the city’s project summary notes, it fits the profile to some degree: “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 (Knox) that is characterized as low-performing.” Yet unlike some of those other neighborhoods, while West End holds pockets of poverty and distress, it also has anchors of stability — streets of tidy homes, mixed-income residents committed to their neighborhood and schools, and the presence of important institutions such as Livingstone College and the Hefner VA Medical Center (a partner in the plan). In other words, while there’s much that needs rebuilding, there’s also much here to build on. Over the coming months, planners will work with the city’s institutional partners and West End residents to develop a revitalization blueprint for the Civic Park Apartments and adjacent community. The collaboration and support of West End residents will be a vital part of this effort, of course. But it’s also important for the city as a whole — and those beyond its limits — to recognize the potential benefits of lower crime rates, improved schools and increased economic development. Transforming bleakness into promise is no easy task, as we’ve seen with some of urban renewal’s failures. But to ignore that task is to abandon whole segments of the community and invite the greater blight other cities are struggling to overcome.

Common sense
(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)
If you don’t say anything, you won’t be called on to repeat it. — Calvin Coolidge
Moderately confused
EW YORK — “We will hunt you down. We will slit your throats. We will drink your blood. I will have your decapitated head on a pike in the Madison town square. This is your last warning.” Is this a passage from Bram Stoker’s Dracula? No, this email reached Wisconsin State Sen. Dan Kapanke, a La Crosse Republican, on March 9, after he voted for GOP Gov. Scott Walker’s controversial budget and laDEROY reforms. MURDOCK borKapanke is not alone. Top Wisconsin Republicans have been threatened with murder. “Across the whole Republican Caucus, I think we have received at least a dozen, credible, specific death threats,” one well-placed legislative staffer in Madison told me. Wisconsin’s Department of Justice has identified the sender of two specific death threats e-mailed to 15 Republican state senators on March 10. It will not release the suspect’s name while investigations continue. However, ponder the suspect’s chilling (excerpted but uncorrected) words: • Subject line — “Atten: Death threat!!!! Bomb!!!!” “We feel that you and your republican dictators have to die. This is how it’s going to happen: ...We have all planned to assult you by arriving at your house and putting a nice little bullet in your head. However, this isn’t enough ... So we have built several bombs that we have placed in various locations around the areas in which we know that you frequent. ...” • “YOUR STAFF MEMBERS HAVE NOW BEEN ADDED TO THE HIT LIST... PLEASE ADVISE THEM OF THE IMPENDING DANGER LEADING TO THIER DEATHS.” Consider these other death threats: • Police in Eau Claire, Wisconsin arrested anti-Walker protester Patrick J. Knauf, 43, on March 2. He allegedly phoned in a bomb threat against Heartland Aviation, where Walker held press conferences Feb. 28 and March 2. • On March 3, 41 rounds of .22-caliber ammunition appeared on the Capitol grounds in Madison. “You can’t do much with live ammunition without the gun,” said University of Wisconsin Police Chief Susan Riseling, “but the presence of it doesn’t thrill me.” • Someone slipped a note under GOP State Sen. Glenn Grothman’s office door. In red letters, it said: “THE ONLY GOOD Republican is a DEAD Republican.” • Wisconsin Tea Party Patriots coordinator Mike Hintz told WISN-TV what happened when his cell phone rang on March 12: “There was a male caller on the phone and he said ‘I hope you’re wearing a bullet-proof vest’ and hung up ... I took it to mean this person was threatening my life by shooting me.” • A Wisconsinite e-mailed one state Capitol staffer this homophobic message: “You won’t have your cushy job very much longer — as soon as we get your boss the faggot recalled ... every damn one of you should be exterminated.” Twitter’s giant graffiti wall featured numerous calls for Walker’s murder, complete with egregious spelling and grammatical errors: • “Lauren-2121” wrote: “I hope Scott Walker dies. someone please shoot him?!” • Jeconti (J-Shack): “Scott Walker cut food stamps its over he getting assassinated..!” These death threats are doubly pernicious: At worst, they are truly homicidal, if those sending them actually intend to murder those whom they threaten. At best, even empty threats are anti-democratic, since they can intimidate elected officials, activists and other citizens into milquetoast governance and advocacy. • • • Deroy Murdock is a columnist with Scripps Howard News Service and media fellow with the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace at Stanford University.

Little being done to stem flow to Mexico ASHINGTON — Publisher William Randolph Hearst once said that U.S. citizens would do anything for South America except read about it. In other words, few of us traditionally really care a lot about what is happening in the Latin climes except those in close proximity. Whether this attitude is as true as it once was given our dependence on Venezuelan oil and our own immigration problems, there remains a decided lack of interest in the affairs of an area most Americans fairly or unfairly once derided as unstable politically and where nations seldom achieved their poDAN tential. That “banana republic” THOMASSON assessment, of course, is rooted in the 19th and 20th centuries and is far from the truth about these vibrant countries. There is, however, a legitimate question as to why President Barack Obama chose to make a perfunctory trip to the South when half the world — from the turmoil in the Middle East to the horror in Japan — seems to be on the verge of falling apart. While there is every reason for him to pursue a “good neighbor” policy, it is a trip that could have waited, his critics claim. If he wants to do something constructive where they mainly speak Spanish, he might consider trying harder to shortstop a growing rift over gun and drug policy between Washington and Mexico City. The latest blow to that tenuous partnership has been the resignation of the U.S. ambassador to Mexico for challenging in leaked cables the Mexican military’s commitment in the drug war. Carlos Pascual’s comments that the Mexicans were “risk adverse” in going after the narcotics cartels were contained in documents released by WikiLeaks and have infuriated Mexican President Felipe Calderon. That anger was intensified by the fact that Pascual had been the chief architect of U.S. policy toward Mexico. Obama’s own lack of commitment in stemming the gun traffic along the Southwest border where an estimated 65,000 battlefield weapons have made their way south into the hands of murderous drug cartels is embarrassing and has contributed immensely to the unhappiness of Mexican authorities. The White House’s stuttering efforts to at least slow down the flow of AK47s and AR15s and

other multi-shot weapons with banana clips have been pitiful despite 34,000 deaths immediately across the border where drug thugs hold sway using U.S.-bought firearms. Even a reasonable effort proposed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and approved by the Justice Department to track multiple sales of these assault rifles has been delayed at least twice by the White House. The fact is that the president and his White House team are political cowards when it comes for taking on the gun lobby even after the slayings in Tucson where U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was critically wounded. The president, with a quick glance toward 2012, reiterates his unqualified support for American gun rights at every opportunity. A weak-kneed effort to bring together various elements of the gun debate for a White House conference to try to reach some accommodation for legislation to keep firearms out of the hands of mental defectives and stone cold killers has been effectively undercut by the National Rifle Association. The NRA’s longtime mouthpiece Wayne LaPierre, arrogantly thumbed his nose at participation, receiving applause from his toadies in Congress. Talk about the ultimate power trip. “Barack who?” he might as well said. When it comes to guns, old Wayne is the president of the United States. But the president has only himself to blame for this utter disrespect and for the accelerating dismay of Mexican authorities that in many areas are shot to death quickly when they dare to challenge the cartels. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — looking more haggard daily from balancing too many balls in the air while an inexperienced president seems too often to be mailing it in when it comes to foreign policy — accepted Pascual’s resignation with regret. It is a WikiLeaks repercussion that may become more familiar in coming days and it arrives at a terrible time in the fight to halt the drug carnage. A recent press account of the South American trip noted that Brazil’s president, as the first woman to hold the job, has a special bond with Obama, the first black president. How nice. • • • Dan K.

When it comes to naming streets, we’re all over map I truly enjoyed Mark Wineka’s Sunday article concerning Rowan County street names. It is interesting to learn who or maybe who did not inspire the names for the streets we walk and drive daily. It was also interesting to learn that some of the names were inspired by historical events or the existence of the physical items (i.e., water wells, market building) associated with the location. It was most interesting, however, to learn that the spellings for some of the streets have been changed over time. The most intriguing is Innes Street. Being a person of detail and a student of history, I find it interesting that local residents, government agencies and map makers had no qualms in changing names of streets or omitting them altogether. I got the impression that Rowan County had made this somewhat of a tradition. Well, let me say the tradition lives on in Granite Quarry. We have a street, or is it road? Anyway, less than 10 years ago, a housing development was created. One of the streets is named Claiborne or something similar. Sorry I don’t know what person or event inspired the name. But on the west end of the one block street, the government-installed street sign identifies it as S. Clairborne St. On the east end, the street sign reads S. Claiborne St. But if you GPS it, the satellites — and, I presume, alien life forms — identify it as S. Claiborne Road! The plan could have been for us to remain hidden in plain sight. No, you say? Try mailing a letter to an address on S. Claiborne Street or one of its variations in Granite Quarry, N.C. Now that’s a completely different discussion, letter (if you could mail it) or article. What do you think, Mark? — Randy Meeks Granite Quarry

Lobbyist is a waste of money In response to Larry Bowyer’s March 18 letter to the editor: I am proud that people are standing up for their rights and telling it like it is about the City Council. All they want to do is waste money that belongs to the taxpayers, like paying for a lobbyist in the political arena. They should be taking care of the city, not trying to make money off taxpayers’ money. Remember to vote them out in November 2011. Put people on the City Council who will work for the taxpayers of Salisbury, not themselves. We need people who think before acting; a $70,000 bonus would help save at least three hardworking people’s jobs. — Charles Black Salisbury

Power hooked up at reactor FUKUSHIMA, Japan (AP) — Workers at a leaking nuclear plant hooked up power lines to all six of the crippled complex’s reactor units Tuesday, but other repercussions from the massive earthquake and tsunami were still rippling across the nation as economic losses mounted at three of Japan’s flagship companies. The progress on the electrical lines at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant was a welcome and significant advance after days of setbacks. With the power lines connected, officials hope to start up the overheated plant’s crucial cooling system that was knocked out during the March 11 tsunami and earthquake that devastated Japan’s northeast coast. Tokyo Electric Power Co. warned that workers still need to check all equipment for damage first before switching the cooling system on to all the reactor units — a process that could take days or even weeks. Late Tuesday night, Tokyo Electric said lights went on in the central control room of Unit 3, but that doesn’t mean power had been restored to the cooling system. Officials will wait until sometime today to try to power up the water pumps to the unit. Emergency crews also dumped 18 tons of seawater into a nearly boiling storage pool holding spent nuclear fuel, cooling it to 105 degrees Fahrenheit, Japan’s nuclear safety agency said. Steam, possibly carrying radioactive elements, had been rising for two days from the reactor building, and the move lessens the chances that more radiation will seep into the air.
Yemen’s president warns of civil war SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Yemen’s U.S.-backed president, his support crumbling among political allies and the army, warned that the country could slide into a “bloody” civil war Tuesday as the opposition rejected his offer to step down by the end of the year. Tens of thousands protested in the capital demanding his immediate ouster, emboldened by top military commanders who joined their cause. Ali Abdullah Saleh’s apparent determination to cling to power raised fears that Yemen could be pushed into even greater instability. In a potentially explosive split, rival factions of the military have deployed tanks in the capital Sanaa — with units commanded by Saleh’s son protecting the president’s palace, and units loyal to a top
U.S., Canada, several European countries and Qatar. Qatar was expected to start flying air patrols over Libya by this weekend, becoming the first member of the Arab League to participate directly in the military mission. The Obama administration is eager to relinquish leadership of the hurriedly assembled coalition. A NATO-led operation would require the unanimous support of member nations but two of them, France and Turkey, do not want the alliance to take over. A compromise was emerging that would see NATO take a key role, but the operation would be guided by a political committee of foreign ministers from the West and the Arab world.

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Moammar Gadhafi’s snipers and tanks were terrorizing civilians in the coastal city of Misrata, a resident said, and the U.S. military warned Tuesday it was “considering all options” in response to dire conditions there that have left people cowering in darkened homes and scrounging for food and rainwater. The U.S. is days away from turning over control of the air assault on Libya to other countries, President Barack Obama said. Just how that will be accomplished remains in dispute: Obama spoke Tuesday with British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy in hopes of quickly resolving the squabble over the transition. “When this transition takes place, it is not going to be our planes that are maintaining the no-fly zone. It is not going to be our ships that are necessarily enforcing the arms embargo. That’s precisely what the other nations are going to do,” the president said at a news conference in El Salvador as he neared the end of a Latin American trip overshadowed by events in Libya. Gadhafi, meanwhile, made his first public appearance in a week, promising enthusiastic supporters at his residential compound in Tripoli, “In the short term, we’ll beat them, in the long term, we’ll beat them.” Libyan state TV broadcast what it said was live coverage of Gadhafi’s less-than-fiveminute statement. Standing on a balcony, he denounced the coalition bombing attacks on

Gen. Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar, a powerful regime insider who commands the army’s 1st Armored Division, has been seen by many as a major turning point toward a potentially rapid end for Saleh’s nearly 32year rule. The question is whether the Yemeni chapter of the uprisings sweeping the Middle East will read more like Egypt — where the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak set the country on a relatively stable, if still uncertain, move toward democracy — or like Libya, which has seen brutal fighting between armed camps.
Law requires 72-hour wait for abortion PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard signed a law Tuesday requiring women to wait three days after meeting with a doctor to have an abortion, the longest waiting period in the nation. Abortion rights groups immediately said they plan to file a lawsuit challenging the measure, which also requires women to undergo counseling at pregnancy help centers that discourage abortions. Daugaard, who gave no interviews after signing the bill, said in a written statement that he has conferred with state attorneys who will defend the law in court and a sponsor who has pledged private money to finance the state’s legal costs. “I think everyone agrees with the goal of reducing abortion by encouraging consideration of other alternatives,” the Republican governor said the statement. “I hope that women who are considering an abortion will use this threeday period to make good choices.” About half the states, in-
cluding South Dakota, now have 24-hour waiting periods, but the state’s new law is the first of its kind in having a three-day waiting period and requiring women to seek counseling at pregnancy help centers, said Elizabeth Nash of the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that supports abortion rights.
Chris Brown trashes dressing room NEW YORK (AP) — Chris Brown trashed his dressing room at “Good Morning America” and broke a window with a chair Tuesday after cohost Robin Roberts asked him about his attack on Rihanna, according to a person familiar with the show. The person was not authorized to discuss the matter and spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity. Security was called, but not police. Brown was on the ABC morning show Tuesday to promote his new album, “F.A.M.E.,” released the same day. During his interview with Roberts, she asked him about the 2009 attack on his thengirlfriend — preceding her questions by noting he had been “very good” about talking about the attack. “It was very serious what you went through and what happened,” she said. “How have you been able to ...” A clearly agitated Brown tried to deflect the line of questioning, saying he was past that and wanted to focus on his new CD.

SBI finds dozens more lab errors Rail grant targets Charlotte-Raleigh link RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina prosecutors say the State Bureau of Investigation’s crime lab has found dozens more cases of mishandled blood evidence. Peg Dorer with the North Carolina Conference of District Attorneys said Tuesday that local prosecutors are preparing to review 75 addi-
tional cases. She said the SBI notified prosecutors about the cases last week. An inquiry into the crime lab’s blood evidence practices last year found more than 200 cases were improperly handled during a 16-year period ending in 2003. SBI officials did not immediately respond to messages
RALEIGH (AP) — Transportation officials said Tuesday they’ve reached an agreement that will allow them to obtain $461 million in federal grants to improve passenger train service between North Carolina’s two largest cities. The pact will allow faster and more frequent passenger service between Charlotte and Raleigh. North Carolina had to obtain an agreement with Norfolk Southern Railway and Amtrak to qualify for the grants. The Federal Railroad Administration had been concerned that slower freight trains might hamper the new service. U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said the grants are part of President Obama’s vision for a national high-speed rail system that “will link 80 percent of Americans in the next 25 years, and lay the foundation for an economy that moves people, good and information quickly, safely and reliably than anywhere else in the world.” A Republican state lawmaker, however, has suggested North Carolina should decline to take the federal money unless the state can prove operating the train operation won’t take too much money from road construction. Currently, part of the route between Char-

lotte and Raleigh is shared with Norfolk Southern freight trains. For passengers, that sometimes means long delays when Amtrak passenger trains must stop and allow a freight train to pass. The state Transportation Department said some of the money will be used to build some new tracks between Greensboro and Charlotte. Curves also will be straightened to allow passenger trains to reach maximum speeds of 90 mph. Twelve new bridges will eliminate 30 highway-rail crossings. Officials say the new service would cut travel time from Charlotte to Raleigh to less than three hours, even with seven stops along the way. The project, which is expected to create nearly 5,000 jobs, should be completed by 2017. Rep. Ric Killian, R-Mecklenburg, filed a bill Monday night that would prohibit the state Department of Transportation from accepting federal funds for a high-speed rail project without explicit authorization by the General Assembly. Killian said Tuesday he filed the bill after he couldn’t get a good answer in a budget subcommittee about how much it would cost to operate annually the improved rail service.
MOURNING FROM 1a was eating rice cereal and had his first taste of baby food the day before the fire struck. “He had carrots, and boy he had one hell of a stomach ache,” Samantha said. The family moved to Salisbury on Feb. 13, renting a house a few doors down from Joey’s first cousin, Samuel McBryde, and his wife, Beth. Samuel was giving Joey work, and promised he would have enough work for rent each month as the Doolittles got their feet on the ground. “And we had just bought that car,” Samantha said. “We’d had it two to three weeks. I paid $700 for the car, and boy, I loved it.” The house at 310 E. Henderson St. was rented, and the family loved it. They were close to their family and friends. But the only problem with the house, she said, was the lack of smoke detectors. “My house did not have a single one,” Samantha said. “Make sure, no matter what, make sure you get smoke detectors.” After the roof collapsed on Joey, he had to be stabilized at Rowan Regional Medical Center before he could be flown to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. Joey’s boxer shorts had melted into his skin, and had burns up his leg and thigh. Samantha suffered burns to her hands, fingertips, face, the middle of her back and her knees. She was also flown to Baptist. Joey was released Saturday and Samantha was released on Sunday. Samantha has to go back for treatments in a week, Joey in two weeks. Both wear Aquacel pads on their wounds, and they have
TRAINS FROM 1a Park inspect the tracks weekly and gauge them monthly to make sure they are aligned properly. Bringle said operators must follow a standard checklist before each day of running the train. “They check the oil, they check the gas, they check the belts and they check the condition of the train,” Bringle said. “They go out on the track itself and inspect the track for any limbs, rocks or any debris that could be on the track and clear that. Then, they make several test runs around the

She remembers running to the McBryde’s house and calling 911, and she remembers being taken away in an ambulance. “It seemed like everyone was moving in slow motion,” she said. “It was very scary. The scariest thing I’ve ever been through. “I don’t think anyone could imagine it unless you went through it, waking up with flames all around you. “And when you come out and see the flames wrapped around your door into the roof, knowing your baby’s still in there, it’s unexplainable.” ••• Samantha said she’s trying to get Zachary to accept that “Jacob’s with the angels.” “I don’t think he fully understands,” she said. “He knows about the fire because he saw it, he’s the only one who woke us up. But I don’t think he realizes it.” The family is still trying to comprehend what happened themselves. “We just don’t understand what God has a purpose for an 11-week-old baby up in heaven,” Samantha said. “He’ll never be forgotten. He was here for just a short time, and he will never be forgotten, that’s for sure.” But they have hope, and are praying there’s a reason Jacob was taken away from them. “I honestly believe there’s a purpose why we’re still here,” she said. “I believe my purpose was to mother (Zachary), and he’s gonna be something great.” The Doolittles are thankful Jacob’s funeral expenses have been covered by the community, and they are grateful to everyone who is praying for

Operators at both parks are given annual training on how the train works and how to operate it safely. Hall said new drivers receive more extensive training than returning ones. “It’s quite a process before they can actually go out on their own without any supervision,” Hall said. “They have numerous runs under their belt before they even do it with passengers.” Both officials said that to their knowledge, the trains have never had acci-
Want to help? Joey and Samantha Doolittle, and their 3-year-old son, Zachary, do not need clothing, but they do need household items, a vehicle, and money for food and for deposits for a new home. Their medical expenses are also increasing. To help them, visit any Wachovia Bank branch and donate to the “Doolittle Fire Fund.” The fund was set up by the family on Tuesday.
them. “We want to tell everyone, every single person who has made donations, everyone who has said a prayer, everyone who has even said I’m sorry for your loss, I want to say thank you,” Samantha said. “We do appreciate everything deeply from the bottom of our hearts.” Another person they want to thank is East Spencer Police Officer Darren Westmoreland, who was the first person to respond to the 911 call. “Thank you for being very brave,” Samantha said. “He tried to go in there. He went to go in that house and he couldn’t do it.” The fire is still under investigation, but investigators believe it started near Zachary’s bed. Samantha still believes she could have saved Jacob’s life if she had just been able to reach him, but authorities say Jacob died from smoke inhalation probably within the first five minutes the smoke began to fill the bedroom. “This fire will haunt me for the rest of my life,” Samantha said.

He said he doesn’t expect anything to change because of the Spartanburg accident, but a risk control manager contacted him to do a visual inspection this week to make sure everything is safe. “It definitely raises our awareness,” Bringle said. Hall also said he doesn’t expect Village Park’s operating procedures to change. “It kind of makes you perk up a little bit and be aware,” he said, “but safety is always number one with us.”

Strickland fills void for Carolina BY AARON BEARD Associated Press
AssociAted Press
dexter strickland has aided UNc after losing Larry drew eariler in the season.
CHAPEL HILL — Dexter Strickland doesn’t seem to mind that all the attention goes to his touted North Carolina teammates. The sophomore knows the Tar Heels will have a tough time winning in the NCAA tournament without him. Strickland is the team’s top perimeter defender who frequently draws the opponent’s top scorer. He’s started every game but one, yet also serves as the backup point guard for a team with
just eight scholarship players heading into Friday’s game against Marquette in the round of 16. And he’s doing that while playing through a right knee injury that might require surgery after the season. “I’m going to do whatever I have to do to contribute to winning,” Strickland said Tuesday. “Whatever position I have to play, I’m going to do that to help my team win.” Strickland is averaging about seven points per game for the Tar Heels (28-
7), the No. 2 seed in the East Regional. He was the only player among North Carolina’s starting lineup not to make one of the all-Atlantic Coast Conference teams this year. But with freshman star Harrison Barnes (team-high 15.5 points) and 7-footer Tyler Zeller (15.2), the Tar Heels don’t need Strickland to shoot a bunch of 3-pointers or score a lot of points. His value in Sunday’s second-round win against Washington showed up most in the stats of the player he defended. He
pestered Washington’s Isaiah Thomas — who came in averaging about 17 points and shooting 45 percent — into 12 points on 5-for-15 shooting in Sunday’s second-round victory in Charlotte. “It’s hard because one game we’re asking him to chase a guy around screens like crazy, and the next we’re telling him he’s got to stay in front of the basketball and the guy is quick as lightning,” coach Roy Williams said.

NFL will bring kickoffs to 35 BY BARRY WILNER Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — The NFL will move kickoffs up 5 yards to the 35-yard line, keep touchbacks coming out to the 20 and allow the number of players in a blocking wedge to remain at two. Kick coverage players now will be limited to lining up 5 yards or fewer from the spot of the kickoff. Team owners also voted Tuesday to make all scoring plays reviewable by the replay official and referee. But they tabled a proposal to ban players launching themselves to make a tackle, and will reconsider it in May. The league’s competition committee proposed placing the ball at the 25 after touchbacks on kickoffs and banning the wedge altogether.

MOUNT ULLA — East R o w a n E. Rowan 6 baseball W. Rowan 0 coach Brian Hightower knows when he hands rocket-armed righty Bradley Robbins the keys, there’s always a chance Robbins is going to back over the rose bushes, knock down the mailbox and put the Mustangs’ car in a ditch. But there’s also the chance of a very sweet ride, and that was the case on Tuesday. East won 6-0 at West Rowan for another NPC victory. “It was kind of a relaxing game, more relaxing than I’m used to catching Bradley,” said cheerful East backstop Luke Thomas. “Sometimes I’m jumping around. Tonight, I just settled in. He had his curve, and when he lost the fastball I knew we could go back to the curveball for a strike.” The strongest arm in the county dangles from Robbins’ right shoulder, and he struck out 13 in 52⁄3 innings. He had a no-hitter until Madison Osborne singled in the sixth. “I realized I had a no-hitter,” Robbins said. “Maybe I overthrew a little bit, but I really don’t think it affected me.” Robbins, a junior who has been clocked as high as 91 mph on radar guns, overmatched West’s lineup. He fanned two in each of the first three innings. Then he blew away the side in the fourth. If there was a moment of truth for Robbins, it came when he walked two of the

Robbins had a hopping fastball, but a lot of his strikeouts came when he threw curveballs to hitters expecting heat. “Bradley did walk five, but I’m not complaining because 13 strikeouts and one hit is not too bad,” East coach Brian Hightower said. “His fastball was live; his curveball was very good. It’s just a matter of him staying focused on every pitch. If he does that, his pitch count comes down, and he’s completing games like this.” West hurler Matt Miller was in jam after jam, but he kept his team in the game. Miller avoided the big inning,
but East pecked away for single runs in the first, third and fifth. Effectively wild and firing a ton of curveballs, Miller walked seven and hit four batters, but he also limited East’s strong lineup to three singles. “I hit a few people, but I felt good out there,” Miller said. “We’ve just got to hit the ball better to start winning games, and we’re definitely confident it’s going to happen.” East (7-1, 3-0 NPC) is again one of the best teams in the state. For what it’s worth, West (1-10, 1-4 NPC) has to be the best 1-10 team in the state, and someone is going to pay for the Falcons’ struggles eventually. West shook up its defense,

Richmond is basketball mecca BY HANK KURZ JR. Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va. — Rally over here, rally over there, rallies planned all around Richmond as the city embraces having two teams advance to the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament. Take a bow Richmond and VCU. The Spiders and Rams have made Richmond the first city since Los Angeles in 2007 to send two teams to the round of 16 in the same year. And Richmond also boosts the same number of teams left in the tournament as the Big East. Both teams depart Wednesday to San Antonio and Richmond’s own canal walk will be the site of a community pep rally. The celebration will be highlighted by the unfurling of a huge banner showing television commentator Dick Vitale preparing to eat crow. “We wanted to poke a little
fun at him because he was so wrong about our city,” said Jack Berry, executive director of Venture Richmond, an economic development group focused of promoting downtown. He said the image will show Vitale holding a plate of crow with the words “Eat Crow Baby.” Vitale and other basketball experts lambasted the NCAA selection committee for including VCU in the field ahead of other teams they deemed more worthy. In response, the Rams gone on an impressive NCAA tournament run, beating three schools from power conferences by an average of better than 16 points. VCU plays Florida State on Friday night, after Richmond takes on Kansas. The atmosphere at VCU is much different than it was a few weeks ago, after the Rams lost five of eight games in February, seemingly dashing their NCAA tournament hopes. When they failed to
win the Colonial Athletic Association tournament, fans wished them luck in the NIT. “It’s been crazy, everybody beeping their horns and people congratulating you and stuff,” point guard Joey Rodriguez said after he returned to campus from the Rams’ stunningly dominant victories in Chicago. “A couple of weeks ago, they were like, what are these guys doing?” Richmond Mayor Dwight C. Jones said he expects a huge turnout for the rally, and he was still working Tuesday night hoping to arrange travel to San Antonio so he can support the teams. “I would like nothing more than to be there,” he said. The schools intend to transport students to the rally after the fans gather to see their team off, and there will be free t-shirts celebrating the tandem handed out at the celebration.

After a mound visit, Robbins struck out Jones on a wicked breaking ball. “We’re really worried there because it’s only a three-run lead, and their power guys are up,” Hightower said. “If Jones or (Patrick) Hampton happens to catch one of those fastballs, it’s a tie game.” Robbins worked carefully to Hampton and walked him to load the bases. Then Johnson got the call, and the generally unhittable southpaw got a strikeout to end the inning. “We had a few opportunities, but we just couldn’t get that big hit that we needed,” Parker said. East tacked on three in the seventh on Avery Rogers’ two-out liner to right with the bases loaded. Chase Laing tracked down the ball nicely as he raced toward the gap, but then he dropped it.

It’s a shame it was spoiled by a loss.” Miller hit East leadoff man Will Sapp with a pitch in the first inning. Sapp stole second and steamed home on a run-scoring single by Thomas. Singles by Sapp and Justin Morris — and aggressive baserunning by both — set up an RBI groundout by Thomas in the third. Sapp was struck by another Miller offering in the fifth, again stole second, and worked his way around the bases for a 3-0 lead. Sapp, MVP of the 2010 3A championship series, entered the game batting a very unSapp-like .174, but he returned to his role of East’s hustling catalyst on Tuesday. “I haven’t been getting on much,” Sapp said. “I was going to be aggressive tonight if I did get on.” The drama occurred in West’s sixth.

Rose leads Bulls in Atlanta rout Associated Press
From around the NBA... ATLANTA — Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls turned a heartbreaking loss in Atlanta into more motivation for their surge to the top of the Eastern Conference. Rose had 30 points and 10 assists, helping the Bulls move back in the East’s top spot with a runaway 114-81 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night. The Bulls began the night tied with idle Boston for the conference’s best record. Chicago led by 19 points in the second quarter of their 8380 loss in Atlanta on March 2. Since then, the Bulls have won 10 of 11, including two lopsided wins over Atlanta. Rose said the Bulls made sure there would be no repeat of the loss to the Hawks earlier this month. “Right when we got the lead we were just telling each other it’s not going to happen
again,” Rose said. “After that game, we all felt bad. It hurts. We don’t want that feeling anymore.” Rose closed the first half with three 3-pointers, including one just before the half ended. The Bulls led 72-43 at the break after outscoring the Hawks 41-22 in the second period. Chicago made 31 of 42 shots (73.8 percent) in the half and finished at 54.4 percent. Fans chanted “MVP! MVP!” during Rose’s spree of 3-pointers. He went 6 for 8 from long range for the game. The Bulls are making it more difficult for coach Tom Thibodeau to find fault in their wins. Thibodeau said he wasn’t satisfied with Chicago’s defense in its 132-92 home victory over Sacramento on Monday night. One night later, the Bulls tightened their defense as Rose and Luol Deng led a devastating first-half offensive performance. Chicago’s starters sat out
the final period after the Bulls set season highs with 41 points in the second period and 72 points in the first half. Deng finished with 27 points. “We have a lot of confidence,” Deng said. “When our mindset is right on defense, we seem to work harder on offense. When we’re not as focused on defense, it kind of leads to our offense. We just go through the motions. So it always starts with defense.” Added Deng: “We’re trying to do great things in the playoffs.” Still, Thibodeau took a look at the Hawks’ 45.3 field-goal percentage and said there is room to improve. “Uh, yeah,” Thibodeau said. “They shot too high of a percentage. So, defensively there’s a lot of things we can clean up. But I like the fact that we got the big lead, and we played tough with the lead.” The Hawks were denied an opportunity to clinch a play-
off spot and absorbed their first home loss to Chicago in four years. Jeff Teague scored 17 of his 20 points in the fourth for Atlanta, which trailed 98-60 after three and also decided to rest its starters in the final period. Josh Smith and Al Horford had 14 points apiece, but Horford departed in the third with a strained hamstring. Hawks coach Larry Drew said he expects Horford will be able to play Wednesday at Philadelphia. The Hawks, who lost 10059 to New Orleans at home on Jan. 21, came close to a second 40-point home loss. Chicago’s big lead was 47 points. “This is starting to get embarrassing,” Smith said, adding the Hawks showed “no resistance” in their seventh loss in the last 10 games. “We didn’t help each other, ASSOCIATEd PRESS and when you don’t help each Bulls forward Taj Gibson, right, and Hawks center Al Horford other it gets contagious,” go after a rebound.

From around the NHL... RALEIGH — Chad LaRose scored two goals and Cam Ward made 36 saves to lead the Carolina Hurricanes past the Ottawa Senators. Tuomo Ruutu also scored, and Cory Stillman added a goal in the third period for Carolina, which began the night three points behind eighth-place Buffalo in the Eastern Conference. LaRose scored late in the first and second periods to help the Hurricanes recover from a 2-0 first-period deficit. The Hurricanes scored four times on their first 19 shots against Curtis McElhinney despite continued struggles on the power play. Carolina was scoreless on three man-advantages Tuesday, dropping to four for its last 77 on the power play. Capitals 5, Flyers 4 PHILADELPHIA — Alexander Semin’s shootout goal lifted the Washington Capitals to a 5-4 victory over
the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night and pulled them within one point of first place in the Eastern Conference. Playing without star forward Alex Ovechkin for the first time this season, the Capitals took an early threegoal lead and seemed on their way to tying Philadelphia for the top spot. But the Flyers scored four straight and earned a point by going into overtime. Sabres 2, Canadiens 0 MONTREAL — Ryan Miller made 31 saves for his fourth shutout and Nathan Gerbe scored twice to lead the Buffalo Sabres past the Montreal Canadiens. Miller recorded his 21st career shutout, his first since a 36-save effort in a 30 win over San Jose on Jan. 6. Gerbe scored for the third game in a row in the second period before adding an empty-net goal for Buffalo, which is currently in the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference

Islanders 5, Lightning 2 TAMPA, Fla. — Al Montoya made 36 saves, helping the New York Islanders to a victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning. Nate Thompson put Tampa Bay ahead 61 seconds in, lifting a rebound past Montoya. But, the Islanders scored four straight goals before Thompson helped set up a goal by Dominic Moore with the Lightning holding a twoman advantage midway through the third period.
From around spring training.., DUNEDIN, Fla. — Cliff Lee tossed six effective innings, Raul Ibanez hit a three-run homer and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 on Tuesday. Lee gave up two runs and four hits, including Rajai Davis’ leadoff triple in the first inning and Juan Rivera’s homer in the third. Toronto touched up Danys Baez for two runs in the ninth before Jonathan Diaz ended the game with a double-play grounder. Ricky Romero, who skipped his previous start with an inflamed left middle finger, allowed first-inning singles to Ben Francisco and Ryan Howard before Ibanez launched a drive to center. Toronto’s opening-day starter has given up 12 runs and 16 hits over 14 innings in four starts. Also, Luis Castillo reported to the Phillies’ spring training camp, four days after the second baseman was released by the New York Mets. The 35-year-old Castillo signed a minor league deal with the Phillies on Monday and he could earn regular playing time with Chase Utley out because of a right knee injury. Orioles 6, Yankees 2 SARASOTA, Fla. — Jake Fox hit his eighth home run, most in the majors this spring, and Zach Britton had another impressive outing for Baltimore. Britton finally allowed his first run of the spring, but he’s making it hard on the Orioles
to choose a No. 5 starter. He yielded one run and six hits in five-plus innings, walking two and striking out five. Jason Berken followed and pitched two scoreless innings. Britton has worked 14 innings in four spring appearances, allowing one run. Fox, bidding to become the Orioles’ backup catcher, hammered a long homer to left field off Sergio Mitre, giving Baltimore the lead for good at 2-1 in the third. Marlins 3, Twins 0 JUPITER, Fla. — Hanley Ramirez’s aggressive baserunning ended Carl Pavano’s scoreless innings streak and sparked Florida to the victory. In a matchup of opening-day starters, Josh Johnson labored through five innings for Florida but did not allow a run. In other news, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said Scott Baker will be the team’s fifth starter. Kevin Slowey will pitch out of the bullpen. Mariners 9, White Sox 5 PEORIA, Ariz. — Seattle ace Felix Hernandez pitched five innings in his third spring training start. The 2010 AL Cy Young Award winner allowed two runs and three hits, struck out five and walked none. A two-base error by Chicago first baseman Adam Dunn led to a four-run sixth for the Mariners, which included a two-run double by Matt Tuiasosopo. Chicago committed four errors in the game.

Watson helps country after being inspired Associated Press
From around the links... ORLANDO, Fla. — Bubba Watson was moved when he heard about the earthquake and tsunami that caused so much destruction in Japan, and he began thinking about a contribution to the relief efforts, just as he did with Haiti earthquake. A lighthearted conversation with Ryuji Imada, a former teammate at Georgia, pushed in that direction. Imada, who was born in Japan, pledged to donate $1,000 toward relief efforts for every birdie he made during
the Transitions Championship last week at Innisbrook. “That made me interested,” Watson said Tuesday. “But I said to Ryuji, ‘What if you don’t make any birdies?’ I told him if he went two days without making birdies, I’d give $10,000 in his honor. We were joking. But he said he thought about that, but he was going to give money no matter what he did.” The next day, Imada opened with a 74 without making a single birdie. Watson then told Imada that because he’s been a longtime friend, he would give $50,000 to the American Red Cross.
Imada made two birdies on Friday, but by then, the seed had taken root. Watson finished his final round Sunday, found a PGA Tour official and handed him a check for $50,000 for the Japan relief efforts. “We always give to charity,” Watson said. “It’s about helping people who need help. Me and my wife, Angie, we talked about it when the disaster happened. We wanted to help. We can’t dig through the rubble, so how about money? We’ve been blessed with money, why not help? And then Ryuji brought it to our attention. “We think about this all the time, how blessed we are,” he
said. “From where I grew up to where I am now, it’s a blessing to be able to write a check like that.” Watson wasn’t alone in his personal charity efforts. K.J. Choi, who has spent a career giving back, pledged $100,000. From his first victory on the PGA Tour, Choi had given a percentage of his winning check to the church he attended in the city that week. Bobby Gates and Brandt Snedeker were among those who pledged money based on their birdies.

RICHMOND FROM 1B The university presidents will ride up the canal in boats decorated in their school colors to a dock for the pep rally, and they will be greeted by Mayor Dwight C. Jones and a band. “It’s not San Antonio,” Berry said, “but we have canal boats, too.” Right now, VCU and Richmond own the city. During the season, Richmond belonged to the Spiders. In the annual meeting of the teams, the Spiders rolled on their home court, 72-60. They led by as many as 30 and ended a 6-year losing streak to the Rams. But that was on Dec. 11. If they meet again this weekend, the winner would advance to the Final Four. “It’s really interesting to be a city that has two schools
NFL FROM 1B increase in high kicks from the 35 intended to trap returning teams deep and severely decreasing the number of returns. He also said the two-man wedge was not a driving force in the uptick in injuries on kickoffs. Indeed, more injuries occur in coverage than on the return squads. As for the six no votes, McKay said: “The objections were, ‘Hey, you’re affecting my team.’ Clearly, some teams have good kick returners and they said, ‘What if there’s 10 percent less returns?’ “We have no answer,” McKay added, “but player safety will always trump any other consideration.” Yet the two player safety amendments were tabled until the May league meetings. A proposal to outlaw players launching to make hits was deferred, as was expanding the definition of a defenseless receiver. McKay said joining those two additions to a previous rule caused the tabling. Each of the proposals will be made into separate amendments before being presented again. “We didn’t feel like there was enough support to get it passed,” said Giants owner John Mara, a competition committee member. “A number of people seemed to be, in my opinion, more concerned about flags being thrown
not only in the Sweet 16 of the same tournament, but in the same region,” Richmond forward and city native Justin Harper said. “We could potentially end up playing each other down the road if we both continue to take care of business. I think it’s pretty cool.” Harper isn’t getting ahead of himself, pointing out, “We need to focus on Kansas first.” But the rivals will be be pulling for each other in Texas. “Even though they’re a big rival of ours, after we get done playing them, we pull for Richmond all year long,” Rams coach Shaka Smart said. “People are going to talk about for a long, long time: ‘Hey, 2011, that was the year that the Rams and the Spiders went to the Sweet 16’ and who knows what else? Maybe we’ll play in the elite 8. That would be phenomenal.”
Unless you are, for instance, the mayor. “I don’t know what I’m going to do if they end up playing each other,” Jones said. “That’s going to be pretty dicey.” The schools — about 6 miles apart — could hardly be more different. VCU is the second-largest public university in Virginia, with an enrollment of 23,483 undergraduates and a seemingly ever-expanding campus in the urban heart of the capital city. The University of Richmond is a private liberal arts university with 3,048 undergraduates and a lake in the center of a campus dominated by stately brick buildings and towering trees. Before they return to their own sides of the fence, should both teams win Friday night fans of both will come together to enjoy something that may never happen again.
for questionable hits. My feeling is, I’m more concerned about needless concussions, so I’m willing to make that trade. But I think we need to go back and just clarify some of the language, maybe to make it a little bit more clear for everybody.” McKay praised players for avoiding launching themselves during the second part of last season after the league threatened suspensions for illegal and flagrant hits. No suspensions were handed out, but Ray Anderson, the NFL’s chief disciplinarian, said they will be in play from the outset of next season. The replay change passed 30-2, with one modification: The third coach’s challenge that the competition committee suggested dropping will be kept. The replay official now can call for the referee to review any scoring play. Previously, replay officials only could order reviews (on any play) in the final two minutes of each half and in overtime. Coaches pushed for the change in great part because they felt they didn’t get a fair shake in road games. “It’s a real big competitive disadvantage,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. “You don’t get that look at it on the road that you get at home; they just don’t show it.” One proposal was adopted unanimously, giving the commissioner the power to approve or deny requests to change the color of the playing field from green. Falcons owner Arthur Blank said the concern was that sponsors
could approach teams and suggest a deal that involved altering a field’s color. As McKay previously noted with a smile, “We don’t want any red fields like at Eastern Washington.”

Strickland also came through with a pair of free throws with 5.4 seconds left that gave the Tar Heels the final margin, capping a day when he finished with 13 points, six rebounds and no turnovers in 29 minutes. “I think he’s the X-factor,” freshman point guard Kendall Marshall said. “A lot of things that Dex does doesn’t show up on the stat sheet. He keeps getting these tough matchups but he goes out there and competes for 40 minutes.” Strickland has been at his best this season when he’s driving to be the basket or using his speed in the open court as part of Williams’ transition offense. He’s shown flashes of explosive leaping ability, too, from a drive-anddunk that punctuated the win against Duke in the regular-season finale to leaping over the Blue Devils’ Kyle Singler for a jawdropping dunk that was waved off after a charge call in the ACC tournament final. His role grew after Larry Drew II quit the team, forcing Strickland to take on more of the ball-handling duties again after playing the point as a freshman. He’s played through a partially torn meniscus in his right knee suffered in February, postponing surgery that would have ended his season. Strickland said the knee feels fine right now and he hasn’t decided if he’ll have surgery after the season. “The kids love him, they gravitate toward him,” Williams said. “They understand he hasn’t had the kind of accolades and honors everyone else has had, but yet they understand how important he is to our team. Nobody thinks they can chase him down from behind. Nobody enjoys him guarding them. Nobody enjoys trying to stop him when he tries to take it to the basket.”

NHL PITTSBURGH — Penguins forward Matt Cooke apologized for an illegal hit that earned him the stiffest suspension of his NHL career, saying he needs to “change” the way he plays. Cooke told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and the Post-Gazette late Monday in Detroit that he “made a mistake” when he landed an elbow to the head of New York Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh. “I realize and understand, more so now than ever, that I need to change,” Cooke told the newspapers. “That’s what I wanted my message to be.” The oft-penalized left wing was suspended by the NHL for the remainder of the regular season and the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, which means he’ll sit a minimum of 14 games. “I made a mistake. I’m the one that’s accountable for that. I take full responsibility for it,” Cooke told reporters. “I’m sorry to my teammates, my management, my coaching staff and my organization. It’s something that, moving forward, I’ll make different.” Cooke is the fourth player suspended for the remainder of a season, joining former Islanders forward Chris Simon, former Canucks forward Todd Bertuzzi and former Bruins defenseman Marty McSorley. Cooke will end up forfeiting $219,512.20 in salary during the suspension. The suspension is the fifth of his career and fourth since joining the Penguins in 2008. He was also suspended four games last month for hitting the Blue Jackets’ Fedor Tyutin from behind. “They aren’t the same. They’re different plays and ... I want to change,” Cooke said. “In the game against the Rangers, I had a chance to hit (Brian) Boyle in the middle of the ice and I didn’t. I had a chance to hit (Bryan) McCabe, and he turned, so I didn’t hit him. It’s a learning process. It doesn’t just stop with being suspended. “It also doesn’t just stop with words,” he said. “My actions will prove it.” Penguins general manager Ray Shero supported the penalty the NHL gave Cooke, saying in a statement that the suspension was warranted because “head shots have no place in hockey.” NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell said the length of the suspension was determined in part because Cooke was a “repeat offender” and because he “unnecessarily targeted the head of an opponent who was in an unsuspecting and vulnerable position.”

NBA SAN ANTONIO — Tim Duncan is on crutches and the San Antonio Spurs don’t know when he’ll be back. Duncan passed an MRI test Tuesday with no signs of structural damage in his sprained left ankle. The Spurs won’t know how long the 34-year-old might be out until later this week, but Duncan will miss at least the next three games as the NBA’s winningest team tries to clinch the West’s No. 1 seed. “It structurally looks good,” general manager R.C. Buford said Tuesday. “We will have a better idea of what the timeline is in the next 48 hours.” Duncan sprained the ankle Monday night in a win over Golden State. Four minutes had barely passed in the game when Duncan, after making a short jumper, landed awkwardly on his left foot and collapsed beneath the basket. • MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Kevin Love did not practice on Tuesday because of a strained left groin. Love says he was injured in a game against Utah last week, but played through it against the Lakers on Friday. He started the game against Sacramento on Sunday, but he played just 14 minutes. Love finished with three rebounds and no points in the loss to the Kings. He says he is unsure if he’ll be ready for Minnesota’s next game at Dallas on Thursday night. He says another day of rest on Wednesday may be enough to get him ready. Love says it’s still important to him to finish out the season, despite only 11 games remaining and no playoffs on the line.

But he threw five interceptions as South Carolina lost to Auburn in the SEC title game and to Florida State in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. Garcia threw for 3,059 yards and 20 touchdowns in 2010.

Volunteers athletics officials still insist it’s an attractive place to be despite ongoing NCAA compliance problems. Tennessee athletics director Mike Hamilton said in a statement Monday that the search would begin immediately for a new coach. “This is a great job and will attract a significant number of interested coaches,” Hamilton said. “Much of that interest is a tribute to what coach Pearl has helped to build, but more importantly, what our fans have built. We will take an appropriate amount of time, but will move as swiftly as is effective to bring this to conclusion.”

Wednesday, March 23 Your managerial skills will be far more pronounced in the year ahead than they?ve ever been, so do what you can to put them to work. You could make things happen that was never possible previously. Aries (March 21-April 19) — It’s often wrong to mix business and pleasure, but that won’t be the case currently. It’s OK to talk shop when out to lunch with a person who has an interest in your product. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Beneficial information is likely to filter down from an unexpected source, so pay attention when others are talking, regardless of who they are or what they do. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Your greatest wins are likely to come from people with whom you interact on a daily basis, and not necessarily from those you rarely see. Stick to the tried and true. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — It’s OK to put an ambitious objective on the top of your list. Get an early start and don’t stop until you achieve exactly what you want. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Activities that challenge you both mentally and physically will likely bring your greatest successes. Stick to doing what you like. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If there is something you can do that would benefit your family, it may be the day to do it. Everything is aligning in your favor, but it won’t last long. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Take the time to read that carefully written contract or agreement written up by a prospective business partner. You?ll be sharp enough to pick up on all the fine points. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — You are likely to be compensated in some manner for service you performed, even though you had offered to do so without pay. It might come as a surprise. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Don’t hide your light under a bushel, because you are in a very appealing popularity cycle and should be able to win over any number of new friends of both genders. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — This could turn out to be one of those crazy days when things will not necessarily turn out as expected. Fortunately, dark projections could carry some light as well. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Don’t ignore your compulsion to get in touch with someone you haven?t seen for a long time. Something extremely good could come out of opening up a line of communication. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you don’t think you’re generating the type of returns you anticipate, go ahead and mix some business with pleasure. Try all the ways that you can to bring profit into the picture. Know where to look for romance and you?ll find it. The Astro-Graph Matchmaker instantly reveals which signs are romantically perfect for you. Mail $3 to AstroGraph, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 440920167. United FeatUre Syndicate

Venous lakes aren’t for swimming More than one way
Dear Reader: Venous lakes are rather common lesions caused by dilation of small blood vessels that present on the ears and lip, occurring in adults older than 50 who have had long-term exposure to the sun. Men are more prone to them than are women. They are dark blue
to purple, soft, smooth and have well-defined edges. Compression of the lesion will often empty the blood contained within. To some degree, they can be compared to a varicose vein, a condition that seems easier to understand. Diagnosis can often be made by visual examination, but surgical biopsy may be performed as well to differentiate between a benign lesion and a cancerous one. If treatment is accomplished, it is either for cosmetic reasons or because of recurrent bleeding. Medication cannot remove the lesions. Surgical procedures include excision, electrosurgery, sclerotherapy and cryosurgery. Laser lights such as a flashlamp pulseddye process have been used with success. This treatment may require several procedures before removal is successful. Another procedure utilizes a cool gel that protects the epidermis. Reports are few, but this approach is similar to light lasers yet doesn’t require anesthesia and there is no crusting or bleeding under the skin; nor is there scarring. If your lesion bleeds frequently or is bothersome because of its size, you may wish to proceed with further corrective attempts. If there is a cosmetic issue, you may wish to experiment with a foundation concealing product that can be covered with lipstick. Complaints from patients who have had undergone surgical excision include a post-surgical lumpy area, discoloration of the sur-
rounding tissue and a wish they never had the procedure done in the first place. Others, however, have experienced good results. I guess the bottom line here is, if you are going to have anything done, choose a person you have confidence in, whom you know will do the best job possible. I’m not sure what the proper procedure for you really is. If you are dissatisfied with your past experiences, seek the services of yet another professional. Present your case, and express your dissatisfaction and the previous lack of progress. Perhaps a plastic surgeon is the answer.

Benjamin Franklin said, “Those who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” At the bridge table, you have the liberty to play safely or dangerously. This deal is a good example. Without peeking at the East-West hands, how would you try to make six no-trump after West leads the heart queen? One tall bridge player had a reputation for looking into his opponents’ hands. One time when two women came to his table, the one who knew of this
player’s penchant asked her partner to keep her cards well back. “Too late,” said the peeker. I am sure you all warn opponents who hold their cards so that you can see them. A good way to avoid any risk of helping a looker is to keep your cards under the table. Back to six no-trump. You have 11 winners: two spades, two hearts, three diamonds and four clubs. You must get a third trick from spades. You could cash your clubs, hoping that someone will discard badly. But when you turn to spades, you have two possible approaches. You could cash dummy’s ace, then play low to your jack, taking the finesse. It will work when-
ever East has the queen or the suit is 3-3 — a probability of nearly 68 percent. Better, though, is to cash your king, cross to dummy’s ace, and lead back toward your jack. Now your chance of success rises to 77 percent, gaining when West has queendoubleton.
Ivanka Trump stalking suspect faces new NY charges NEW YORK (AP) — Prosecutors say a man obsessed with Ivanka Trump kept trying to contact her and her relatives while he was out on bail after being charged in New York with stalking her. Justin Massler pleaded not guilty Tuesday to upgraded charges. The Reno, Nev.-based Massler was arrested in Los Angeles after skipping some of his Manhattan court dates. Massler, 28, initially was arrested last year. Prosecutors say he unleashed a slate of emails and Twitter messages about his fixation with
Donald and Ivana Trump’s daughter. They say he once threatened to kill himself in Ivanka Trump’s Manhattan jewelry store. A defense lawyer says Massler didn’t intend to fol-

Dear Dr. Gott: For the past seven or eight years, I have what has been identified as a venous lake. When it first appeared, I went to my dermatologist, and he cut it to let it bleed out. After that, my lip was swollen and uncomfortable for several weeks, but it seemed to disappear. Within six months, it was back again. I then went to a skin specialist. A few years later, he explained that tiny blood vessels slowly leaked blood into my lip. He recommended DR. PETER my lip be GOTT lasered, which he did three times in a row. This procedure did seem like a miracle, but again, within a short period of time, my lip pooled with blood. At that time, he told me that if the laser treatment didn’t work and it came back, my lip could not be lasered again. Well, it came back even larger than before. I no longer can conceal my lower lip with lipstick, and at this point I don’t know what to do. Do you have any recommendations?

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER Two major systems will bring active weather to the nation on Wednesday. A low pressure system that has dumped heavy snow over the Intermountain West, Great Basin, and Northern Rockies continues moving eastward from the Upper Midwest, over the Great Lakes, and into New England. Expect snowfall accumulation to range from 3 to 8 inches across western New York and Pennsylvania. The back side of this system will continue to pull cold air in from Canada, which will allow for a combination of snow and ice to develop across the Great Lakes. Expect 1 to 2 inches of snow and sleet accumulation in Wisconsin and Michigan. A warm front associated with this system will stretch along the Ohio River Valley. Since this will push warmer air in from the South, periods of heavy showers and thunderstorms may develop from the Mid-Mississippi River to the Virginias. Meanwhile Out West, another low pressure system spinning in the Pacific Ocean makes its way onshore on Wednesday. This system pushes a strong cold front over northern California that will bring more heavy rain to the state, with heavy snow in the Sierras. Expect 3 to 6 inches of snow, with up to 12 inches likely above 7,000 feet. Lighter rain and snow showers are expected across Oregon and Washington, as this trough takes a more southern route.
