Smart Start supporters gather Friday at a rally for continuing state funding of such programs as legislators consider cutbacks.

The gathering was at the Smart Start offices on Jake Alexander Boulevard.

ALISBURY — “Save our children.” That’s the message early childhood education advocates voiced Friday in a plea to state legislators who are considering a merger of Smart Start and More at Four programs. The merger is being proposed as a way to cut state expenditures. A crowd gathered outside the Smart Start Rowan office Friday as part of a rally to voice their concern about what a merger could mean to the level of funding provided to each program. “They are looking at making some really significant cuts to early childhood and for our programs that serve young children and their families it is going to drastically hurt them,” Norma Honeycutt, executive director of Partners in Learning, said. Honeycutt brought the community together Friday to create a “flash mob” video to send to Raleigh. “We felt like this was a way for the community to come together and say, ‘Hey, don’t cut young children,’ ” she said. “Because the reality is if they cut it now it’s sort of like a credit card, they are going to pay for it later and they are going to pay bigger, with interest because these are the formative years for children.” ••• Sarah Toledo said she’s seen the effects of the More at Four program firsthand. Her son, 6-year-old Aden, has already completed the program and is now the No. 1 math and reading student in his first grade class at North Rowan Elementary. Toledo said Aden’s first classroom experience was with the More at Four program at Partners in Learning. She said the program helped get him up to speed before beginning kindergarten.

“It’s an amazing program, it made a world of difference,” she said. “It was like day and night.” Toledo’s daughter, Kilani, is currently enrolled in the More at Four classroom at Noah’s Playloft Preschool. “It’s a really big deal for children to have a foundation to get started,” she said. “And this program brings out this thirst for learning.” Mike Safrit, lead More at Four teacher at South Rowan Academy, said every year he sees students who come ot preschool for

SALISBURY — The children of David and Angela Lore told authorities of living in a home overrun with animals alive and dead and so infested with roaches they couldn’t escape them — even in their own beds. That’s according to a search warrant obtained Friday by the Salisbury Post. The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office served the search warrant Wednesday, the same day the Lores were DAVID LORE arrested and jailed on $250,000 bond apiece. Their children, ages 7, 9, 14 and 16, were removed from the home. Authorities say in addition to living in filth, the children weren’t getting proper medical care and weren’t being educated though their parents had registered as a home school ANGELA LORE with the state.

Three former employees of the Rowan County Housing Authority have filed a civil lawsuit against the agency claiming discrimination. Alma J. Bostian and Barbara Walser, who are white, and Carleen White, who is black, filed the suit in U.S. District Court in Greensboro. Their attorney is Romallus Murphy. The lawsuit alleges the Housing Authority followed a “policy and practice of discriminating against plaintiffs by retaliating against plaintiffs for engaging in protected activity.” After the women reported what they believed to be racial discrimination, the suit says, they were denied employment rights and contract rights.

Lawmakers want more details before accepting federal rail money BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com

State legislators representing Rowan County are co-sponsoring a bill that could block the county from getting more than $100 million for high-speed rail projects. The money is part of $545 million in federal stimulus funding awarded to North Carolina in January 2010 to help create an envisioned high-speed rail corridor from Charlotte to Washington. State transportation officials announced

Money From Federal Gov’t,” but Steen said the money won’t necessarily be turned down if the bill passes. The goal is for the North Carolina Department of Transportation to give legislators more information before accepting the funds, he said. “They were not being straightforward with us, and they need to give us some answers,” Steen said. He said questions being raised include the exact projects funded, the amount of future funding needed for maintenance and where that money would come from.

The transportation department is answering some of those questions now, he said, as a result of the bill being filed. According to recent testimony to the transportation committee, $50 million in maintenance costs will come out of the state’s highway fund. “Why should we take $50 million out of the highway fund when we can’t get road projects we’ve been asking for for 20 years?” Steen said. The high-speed rail projects might be good for the county, he said, but funding for them

mixed children” and said “that she could not see how a white woman could have children with an African-American male.” According to the lawsuit, the women accused Potts of “constantly referring to African-American tenants as ‘your people’ ” and said she “spoke in derogatory terms about African-American tenants.” According to the women’s attorney, the white employee married to a black man who was the target of some of the derogatory comments is not a plaintiff in the lawsuit. The former Housing Authority employees filed a complaint with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The agency ruled in December they had grounds for a lawsuit. The case has been referred to mediation and all parties must also give their consent to have their case heard before a magistrate. Murphy, the women’s attorney, has not filed.

FROM 1a the Sheriff’s Office March 1 about conditions at the home. On March 14, Brindle said in the affidavit, he talked with Social Services caseworker Kris Sapper, who told him that on a visit to the home she saw animal feces ground into the carpet “and was barely able to complete the in-home interview because the stench was horrific.” Social workers took the four children from the home Monday. The same day, Brindle says in the affidavit, he visited the Lores’ shop, Pet Place at 848 S. Main St. in Salisbury, and sought their consent to inspect their home. The Lores refused “until they had the opportunity to speak with legal counsel.” On Tuesday, Brindle spoke to three of the Lores’ children. According to the affidavit, the children told Brindle “there were dead animals in the house in cages and out back of the residence in various stages of decay.” The children told Brindle that at one time, the Lores kept more than 120 animals inside the mobile home and that feces and urine were spread throughout the house, the affidavit said. They also told Brindle “that roaches were all over the house, including in the food and bedding of the minor children,” according to the detective’s statement. Sandra Wilkes, director of the Department of Social Services, said Thursday the children have been placed with family and are “getting good care.” When investigators searched the mobile home Wednesday, they seized five pieces of mail, pill bottles and various unidentified pills, a bottle containing the antidepressant Fluoxetine dated May 17, 2002, a brown vial containing an unknown black substance, a purple smoking pipe, black scales, an inhaler and two Memorex CDs Brindle, who works with the Special Victim’s Unit in the Sheriff’s Office, said the pills and vial will be sent to the N.C.

Brindle said. “We haven’t made a determination of what’s all involved in that yet,” he said. Rowan County Animal Control Supervisor Clai Martin said his department will be periodically checking on the condition of the animals at the Lores’ pet store. He said three malnourished dogs taken from their home are in the custody of animal control. The Lores remained in the Rowan County jail Friday night. Each is charged with four counts of child abuse, four counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and three counts of cruelty to animals. All the charges are misdemeanors.

Berger said he was glad to hear that Perdue decided against keeping an earlier proposal to move the Office of the State Controller to the Department of Administration. Perdue spokeswoman Chrissy Pearson said states with the highest ratings from bonding agencies — a sign of fiscal health and prerequisite for low interest rates on borrowing — keep the controller as an independent entity. While Controller David McCoy would have remained independent, Perdue didn’t want to create the perception he wasn’t, according to Pearson. Perdue’s budget called for the elimination starting this summer of more than 225 state government positions relating directly to the government reorganization.

Warren said rail projects could bring jobs and investment to the local economy, and Steen acknowledged that leaving money in the highway fund doesn’t guarantee anything for Rowan County. N.C. Sen.

No counterpart legislation has been introduced in the Senate. He said state and BROCK federal f u n d s would be better spent on the interstate system. “If we could put an exit on Old Beatty Ford Road, I think that would be more helpful to Rowan County,” Brock said. “Give us more lanes going north and south through southern Rowan County. ...

Perdue’s office, citing state budget managers, said the plan would save $47 million during the next fiscal year and $79 million in 2012-13.

RALEIGH (AP) — Gov. Beverly Perdue gave formal notice Friday of her previously announced proposal to retool state government that she said will save money and create a leaner operation. She’ll still need support from the Republican-led Legislature to carry it out fully. The governor signed an executive order that lays out a plan to merge 13 agencies and departments into eight Cabinet-level offices, as well as merging some divisions within departments and moving the state ports authority from the Commerce Department to the Department of Transportation. Perdue already has provided many details of the proposal she calls the most expansive state government reorganization in 30 years.

House passes ‘Ethen’s Law’ to treat unborn child as victim BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com

The Unborn Victims of Violence Act, or “Ethen’s Law,” has passed the North Carolina House and will now go to the Senate. The bill would treat an unborn child as a victim if someone kills or assaults the mother. It was read and voted on for a third time Thursday, passing 73-36. N.C. Rep. Fred Steen, R-Rowan, is a primary sponsor of the bill and he spoke on the House floor to support it. “This legislation matches North Carolina law to federal law when it involves the death of an unborn victim,” Steen said. “This bill also provides justice to those unborn children, their mother and to the families who are left to pick up the

pieces after the act of violence. This bill recognizes the unborn child as a person.” In an e-mail to the Post Thursday, he said he is glad for the victims’ families who have been asking for this legislation for many years. N.C. Rep. Harry Warren, RRowan, is co-sponsoring the legislation. ••• This week marked the deadline for state legislators to draft public bills, which must then be filed by April 6 in the House and April 12 in the Senate. Steen is now a co-sponsor of the “Taxpayer Transparency Act,” which would create a searchable budget database website detailing where, for what purpose and what

results are achieved for all taxpayer investments in state government. The database would include grants, contracts, appropriations or other expenditures of $10,000 or more. It also would include tax exemptions or credits. Expenditures and funding actions would be listed with the recipient of funds, the amount of funds spent, the spending agency, the funding source, the relevant budget program or activity, a descriptive purpose, expected and past performance outcomes and any related state audit or report. Warren is listed as a co-sponsor of the bill, as well as another that would set a cap on the motor fuel excise tax rate. Warren also is co-sponsoring “Chamberlin’s Law,” which would al-

low charges to be brought against people who “recklessly” harm or neglect animals. State law currently covers acts of animal cruelty performed “maliciously” or “intentionally,” which are harder to prove in court. Another provision would make it a misdemeanor for a dog owner to fail to provide a dog with adequate shelter. The legislation also would allow judges to order convicted offenders to receive psychiatric or psychological evaluation and to prohibit them from owning animals for a period of time. The bill, filed this week, is named after a dog who was found severely malnourished from neglect in the backyard of a High Point home. Warren is a primary sponsor of “Run and You’re Done,” a bill that

would provide for the seizure, forfeiture and sale of motor vehicles used by someone charged and convicted of felony speeding to elude arrest. In addition, he is a primary sponsor of a bill filed last week that would require county and municipal special elections to be held on the date of the respective general elections, except in the case of an emergency. N.C. Sen. Andrew Brock, Rowan/Davie, is a primary sponsor of two bills filed this week. One would repeal the requirement that a person obtain a permit to receive, sell, purchase or otherwise transfer a crossbow. The other would modernize procurement methods used by the Secretary of Administration and state departments, institutions and agencies.

I would be working just to keep him in school, forget about feeding him.” Linda Peterson, director of Kiddie Land Kindergarten, said many of the children at her day care wouldn’t be there if it wasn’t for Smart Start and More at Four. She said of the 147 children, only about eight are private payers. “Cuts would mean some children wouldn’t be exposed to day care at all because parents can’t afford it,” Peterson said. Honeycutt said decreasing money for early childhood programs would hurt the people who need them most. “Not only do we have all these families in poverty in Rowan County, but we now have even more families that are in situational poverty so it’s the worse time to cut services for our children.” • • • Joy Miller of Joy’s Tenderloving Home Care said any kind of cuts to Smart Start would be devastating to her small business, which serves about eight children.

We depend on that funding,” she said. “How are we going to maintain the level of services?” Tina Godair, executive director of Cornerstone Child Development, agrees the services will suffer if state money is diverted from the programs. “The funding helps raise the level of service and if they take the funding away it’s going to decrease,” she

State workers may have to pay for health plan for first time if Senate bill passes RALEIGH (AP) — State employees and school teachers would pay a monthly premium for their own coverage for the first time and face higher co-pays and deductibles to keep the health plan solvent in legislation the Senate initially approved Thursday. The Republican-penned measure,

approved in a 30-17 party-line vote, seeks to close a $515 million shortfall between expected revenues and medical claims and other expenses through mid-2013. Part of it would be to take away what has been a treasured fringe benefit — no monthly premium for workers or retirees. “It does some things none of us

like,” Sen. Tom Apodaca, R-Henderson, one of the bill’s primary sponsors, told colleagues during floor debate. “We do not want to charge a premium but we have to ... we can never receive this kind of insurance in the private markets for our employees at home.” The more than 320,000 active

workers on the State Health Plan would pay from $10.86 or $21.72 per month, depending on which of the two levels of coverage they choose, beginning this July. Retirees who receive the more generous coverage would pay $16.72 or $21.72, depending on if they’re eligible for Medicare.

The bill also would repeal a highly publicized plan to force higher medical costs upon plan participants who smoke or are obese. “Taxpayers, employees and retirees need restored confidence in the State Health Plan and to make sure that it is properly managed and fiscally sound,” Apodaca said.

DARTS AND LAURELS

Good way to honor vets Revitalizing West End Laurels to the proposal that the new I-85 bridge over the Yadkin River be named in honor of veterans. Along with saluting Rowan’s 12,000 veterans, the bridge could stand as a sturdy reminder for legions of highway travelers to appreciate and support the nation’s veterans. The idea originated with veteran (and veterans advocate) Rodney Cress, who found an enthusastic ally in state Rep. Fred Steen (R-Rowan). Along with the symbolic connection suggested by this idea, it also evokes the role bridges have played in military history — from the famed bridges at Remagen and Toko-Ri extending all the way back to Concord Bridge of Revolutionary fame. • • • Dart to the number of alcohol-impaired drivers who roam North Carolina roads, despite stiffer penalties and stepped-up patrols. During last week’s St. Patrick’s Day “Booze It and Lose It” crackdown, more than 1,000 people were arrested on DWI charges. The total during the March 11-17 campaign included eight DWI arrests in Rowan, 26 in Cabarrus, 12 in Iredell and 10 in Davie. In addition, officers issued hundreds of citations for speeding and other infractions. As expected, more populous counties notched higher numbers of arrests, with Mecklenburg leading the state at 124 and Wake second with 94. As N.C. Transportation Secretary Gene Conti noted, the crackdown removed dangerous drivers from behind the wheel, but too many of them will be back on the road in a short time, endangering themselves and others. • • • Dart to a billboard-industry backed proposal that would weaken local communities’ rights to regulate digital signage along major highways. The bill, currently in the state Senate’s Transportation Committee, would let advertisers promote their wares on changing electronic displays along thoroughfares even if it means overruling local sign ordinances that prevent the digital displays. The proposal also would allow expanded tree-cutting in front of billboards. The North Carolina Outdoor Advertising Association argues the change would spur job growth. But you have to wonder: Won’t changing to digital billboards doom the jobs of the workers who now go out and manually change the messages on conventional billboards? Of course, given how flashing signs can distract drivers, it might increase the demand for auto repair workers.

Winning the nation’s future starts at home BY SHAUN DONOVAN For the Salisbury Post

resident Obama has made clear that there is no greater economic policy than one that invests in our children’s future and helps America out-educate the world. But that’s not possible if we leave a whole generation of children behind in our poorest neighborhoods. Today, more than 10 million people live in neighborhoods surrounded by disinvestment, failing schools, troubled housing, and little opportunity. Research shows DONOVAN that one of the most important factors in determining whether or not children will do better financially than their parents is not their family’s economic status, but whether or not they grow up in a high-poverty neighborhood. The fact that we can predict health, economic, and educational outcomes of children based on their zip codes is a tragedy. That is why the Obama Administration has been pursuing an interagency Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative that supports local leaders from the public and private sectors working to transform distressed neighborhoods into sustainable, mixed-income neighborhoods with the affordable housing, safe streets and good schools that every family needs. At the center of the Administration’s initiative is a comprehensive neighborhood revitalization tool called Choice Neighborhoods. First funded by Congress in 2010, Choice Neighborhoods builds on the HOPE VI public housing revitalization program. With strong bipartisan support, HOPE VI has created nearly 86,000 homes in healthy, mixedincome communities that were once troubled by distressed public housing — leveraging twice the federal investment in additional private development capital and raising the average income of residents by 75 percent or more. Last week, the Obama Administration awarded Choice Neighborhoods planning grants to 17 communities around the country, including Salisbury. With these funds,

communities will be able to use proven mixed-use, mixed-finance tools available to transform not just public housing, but all kinds of federally- supported housing in poor neighborhoods. Of course, a healthy neighborhood depends on more than successful, stable housing. That’s why Choice Neighborhoods requires winners to provide neighborhood children with high-quality educational opportunities and allows communities to use a portion of their award for early childhood education and after-school tutoring. In Salisbury, you will be able to see this approach in action. With these funds, local partners in the West End neighborhood will create a transformation plan that will improve the Civic Park Apartments public housing development, as well as build an early childhood education center and begin a tutoring program for middleschool students so Salisbury’s children will have the education they need to compete. Local leaders like Mayor Susan Kluttz recognize their work to transform housing and improve schools is most effective when localities can align their resources, break down barriers and cut through the red tape. And by bringing together local partners from the public, private, and nonprofit sectors, Salisbury’s grant helps make that possible. Indeed, Salisbury represents one powerful example of how the administration’s Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative is helping government invest smarter and more effectively — so we do more of what works and stop doing what doesn’t. This approach recognizes that all of us — government, businesses, schools and communities — are responsible for preparing students in every neighborhood to compete in the 21st century. As President Obama has said, “If poverty is a disease that infects an entire community in the form of unemployment and violence, failing schools and broken homes, then we can’t just treat those symptoms in isolation. We have to heal that entire community.” To out-educate the rest of the world and win the future, we must — and with these tools, we will. • • •

TO THE

Mailman’s good deeds go beyond delivering letters Thank you, Mr. Ken, for removing the big limb from my roof. In case you don’t know who Mr. Ken is, he is Ken Pruett, mail carrier for our community. A few days ago, a big limb fell on the roof of my home. I could not reach it. It was on the edge of the roof over the carport near my mailbox. Later in the week, I came up the driveway, and the limb was gone. I knew that the moment Mr. Ken had removed it. That made my day. Everyone likes Ken. He makes our community a better place to live. Sometimes, I wonder how he survives the cold, heat, rain and snow, but it doesn’t seem to bother him. God calls workers in all occupations, and I believe Ken has been called to be a mailman. I know you know his secret — he has God as his assistant, and that’s all that matters. The deeds and help that we do for others is all that we will take with us when we leave this world. Ken, keep doing the things you do. You have made a difference in our lives. To the Salisbury post office: Thank you for selecting Ken Pruett for our mailman. — Willa Mae Morton Salisbury

Riding to the rescue I want to express my and my family’s sincere gratitude to the East Rowan Saddle Club. My family was on their spring horse and wagon ride when my horse accidentally got away from me and ran off. No one could find him for about 12 hours. He was gone all night, and we were sick with worry for his

safety. Numerous people from the saddle club looked for him until dark, and the next morning several more went as soon as it was daylight. A man named Owen and his wife Tonya even went to get their tracking dog and tracked him until they lost his trail. That morning while we were out looking for him, I received a call that said he had been found. Mark Zigler and his wife had been on the ride the day before, and he told me later he couldn’t get my lost horse out of his mind. He went home and got his horse Scooter and tracked my horse until they found him in a field behind some very dense woods. I have never been more relieved in my life than when I saw my horse coming across the pasture with Mr. Zigler. The way the world is now with all the meanness and fighting going on, it is so wonderful to have people who care about other people and animals the way these do. I can never thank everyone at the Saddle Club enough for their help in finding my horse this past weekend, especially Owen, Tonya and Mark Zigler and, of course, Scooter. — Tammy MacKinnon Lexington

I used to think that being a grandparent would be the easiest job ever. If you could survive being a parent with firsthand experience, surely you’d remember enough to wing it the second time around. I don’t think that anymore. My youngest child, whom I still call “the baby,” was 33 years old barely seven months ago when he and his wife presented me with my first grandchild. Thirty-three SHARON years is a long RANDALL time to remember things like diapering and bathing, let alone reciting nursery rhymes you never knew well to begin with. Most of what I know about being a mother I learned from my children. We made up the rules — like songs we sang and games we played and stories we told — as we went along. And most of what I’m learning about being a grandmother I’m learning from Randy. We’re making it up, my grandson and I, as we go along. It’s not easy living 500 miles apart. But I visit him as often as I can and he makes the most of each visit. Last week was boot camp. He was a drill sergeant. His parents were generals. And I was Gomer Pyle, disguised as his nana. How can something you once could do in your sleep — and often did — suddenly be so hard? Take my first attempt at changing his diaper. Removing the wet one was easy. Replacing it was not. I knew, of course, with a naked baby boy, time was of the essence. Some things you never forget. But I did not recall what babies do with their feet. When the diaper came off, he curled up in a chubby pink ball, stuffed his toes in his mouth and improved his aim considerably. You’d be amazed how fast a woman my age can move, if properly inspired. I alligatorwrestled him into a diaper and taped it as tight as I could. “Good job, nana,” said his daddy, inspecting. “The tapes just need to be a bit tighter.” Later, when I tried giving the boy a bath, he splashed so hard I thought we’d both drown. “Here,” said his mommy, “let him hold his rubber duck,” and the splashing slowed to a slosh. I fed him a bottle mixed with oatmeal so thick it clogged the nipple and made him furious. I spooned (at his mother’s suggestion) a tiny bit of strained squash in his mouth that made him gag until he threw up. I even managed to bump his head, not just once, but twice, causing him to cry real tears and reach for his mommy and look at me as if I were someone he didn’t like at all — Hannibal Lecter disguised as his nana. I’m not a quick learner. But he’s a good teacher. We both worked hard all week. Finally, the last night of my visit, his mom and dad went out to dinner and left us all alone. First, we played. I taught him “Pat, Pat, Pat” (once a favorite of his dad’s) and “Little Bunny Foo Foo” (he likes bopping field mice on the head) and “NASCAR 500” (I push him around the house really fast in his walker). When I gave him a bath, he licked soap off the rubber duck and hardly splashed at all. I taped his diaper tight, zipped him in his jammies, read “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” by Eric Carle and let him chew the cardboard pages all he wanted. Then I held him the same way I used to hold his daddy, and fed him a bottle of his mommy’s milk with no nasty oatmeal. And he drank it down in big, sleepy gulps and gazed into my eyes as if I were someone he liked a lot — his very own nana, disguised as Angelina Jolie. When his parents came home, he was sound asleep with one arm dangling through the bars of his crib, and I was singing a song I call “Nana Rocks.” The next day I left, promising to come back as soon as I can. Now I’m singing a song I call “Missing Randy.” And he’s busy working on a new lesson plan. • • • Sharon Randall can be contacted at randallbay@ earthlink.net.

Biker dodges head-on collision Questions why no one stopped to help BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

A Salisbury motorcyclist is lucky to be alive after a Monday morning encounter on N.C. 150, says a trooper with the N.C. State Highway Patrol Eric Ledbetter was westbound about 5:45 a.m. when he crested a hill near the Lazy 5 Ranch and saw headlights ahead, in his lane. A car was headed straight at him. “I was about 30 feet away from headlights,” he said. “Instinctively, I hit the brakes, and went over into the dirt.” Ledbetter says he went down in a ditch, and his motorcycle flew 100 feet. Trooper E.B. Perdue said Ledbetter threw himself from the bike, saving his life. The car coming toward him was illegally passing another car in a no-passing zone. When the driver saw Ledbetter’s bike, the driver slammed on the brakes and whipped behind the car he was planning to pass. Neither car stopped to help Ledbetter. Ledbetter was taken to Rowan Regional Medical Center and was discharged Tuesday afternoon. He had a

broken vertebrae in his back and has to wear a back brace for some time. “It was basically hit the car head-on or wreck the bike,” he said. “The gentleman passing hit the brakes, and I heard them squawk just as I was hitting the dirt. “He knew something had to have LEDBETTER happened. He just didn’t stop.” Ledbetter was on his way to NASCAR Tech, where he is a student, and he doesn’t have health insurance. He has been unemployed for two years and he will have to miss classes because of his injuries. “I have a mountain of medical bills now,” he said. He wishes the other driver would have at least stopped to check on him. “Who the heck was this guy?” he said. “Why couldn’t he have stopped to see if I was OK? He could have killed me. “It’s not so much that I want to charge this guy. I’m

more concerned with the next guy that’s out there who may not make it the next time.” Perdue says there are no leads, and he hopes someone with any information about the incident will contact the highway patrol. “People need to be aware of the dangers of passing on a double yellow line,” he said. “The double yellow lines are there for a reason. It may be that there’s a blind spot in the road, or on a hill crest ... but it’s to protect you and other motorists traveling in the opposite direction.” The penalties for passing a double yellow line are stiff, Perdue said, and “could be as stiff as killing yourself or another life.” “More than likely, being the time in the morning this was, I have a feeling the guy was probably late for work, trying to get to work on time,” he said. “If that’s the case, leave earlier. Don’t kill somebody else or kill yourself. “Don’t let one irresponsible event lead to another irresponsible event.... He’s very, very lucky.” If you have any information into the incident, you can contact the N.C. Highway Patrol at 704-639-7574.

NC unemployment rates drops to 9.7 percent RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina had more people drawing paychecks and fewer collecting unemployment benefits in February as the unemployment rate fell slightly to 9.7 percent, down from 9.8 percent in January, the state’s Employment Security Commission reported Friday. February continued a trend as both the number of workers added to payrolls and the number of people looking for work grew. The number of employed workers climbed by 5,500 and the number of unemployed

dropped by 4,300. More than 435,000 people remain on North Carolina’s unemployment rolls. That number is down by 85,000 workers in the past year. The state unemployment rate in February 2010 was 11.4 percent. “We are showing signs of slow but steady progress, with job gains in February and over the year,” ESC chairwoman Lynn R. Holmes said. “We remain committed to assisting outof-work citizens with training and services to get them through these hard times

and back to work.” North Carolina has lost 292,500 jobs since the national recession began in December 2007. Both the national and North Carolina’s unemployment rate were 9.8 percent in November, but North Carolina’s jobless rate has since hovered around the same level while the national rate dropped to 8.9 percent. In the past year, the number of North Carolina jobs in professional and business services grew by 5 percent while governments shed 11 percent of their workers.

Dismembered body found in brush pile MOCKSVILLE (AP) — Sheriff’s deputies have found the dismembered body of a missing Davie County woman in a brush pile while searching the house and property belonging to her boyfriend. The Winston-Salem Journal reported that David Earl Hughes, 56, of Mocksville has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of Patricia Yvette Swaim, 49.

Paralyzed mother to visit her children

tary recruiters had coached him on how to shed weight. Glenni “Glenn” Wilsey V, of Vermilion, had started losing weight before he talked to recruiters in December and died earlier this month, 7 pounds short of his goal. The Army said it couldn’t comment on whether recruiters advised the 20-yearold on his weight-loss regimen. But Wilsey’s mother, Lora Bailey, said her son told her he was following recruiters’ advice, including self-induced vomiting. She pleaded with him to stop the extreme dieting. “He’d say, ‘Mom, these guys know what they’re talking about.’ He believed what the recruiters were telling him over what I was telling him,” she said.

HAMILTON, Mont. (AP) — A RadioShack is offering would-be satellite television customers more bang for their buck. The Ravalli Republic reports customers who sign up for some Dish Network packages at RadioShack in Hamilton will receive a coupon for a pistol or shotgun and the required background check. Those not interested in a gun get a $50 Pizza Hut gift card. Store owner Steve Strand says it took some haggling to get Dish Network to go along, but the promotion has tripled his business since October. The sign outside the business reads: “Protect yourself with Dish Network. Sign up

anti-Syrian government protesters, left, and pro-government, right, clash after Friday prayers in Syria.

erick C. Shaller issued the ruling after a two-week court hearing over the parental rights of Abbie Dorn, a 34year-old who is being cared for by her parents at their home in Myrtle Beach, S.C. The order will stand until a trial date is set in the case, said Dorn’s attorney, Lisa Helfend Meyer. Dorn’s parents, who are suing for permanent visitation, want the children to visit for two weeks every summer and a week in the fall and spring, but an attorney for Dorn’s exhusband argued during a hearing earlier this week that their mother was so badly injured giving birth that she is no longer capable of being a parent. During the hearing’s closing arguments on Thursday, the attorney for Dorn’s family said that although Dorn may be incapable of taking part in a traditional motherchild relationship, that doesn’t mean she should be shut out from holding her children, watching them grow and bonding with them.

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Troops opened fire on protesters in cities across Syria and pro- and anti-government crowds clashed in the capital’s historic old city as one of the Mideast’s most repressive regimes sought to put down demonstrations that exploded nationwide Friday demanding reform. The upheaval sweeping the region definitively took root in Syria as an eight-day uprising centered on a rural southern town dramatically expanded into protests by tens of thousands in multiple cities. The once-unimaginable scenario posed the biggest challenge in decades to Syria’s iron-fisted rule. Protesters wept over the bloodied bodies of slain comrades and massive crowds chanted anti-government slogans, then fled as gunfire erupted, according to footage posted online. Security forces shot to death more than 15 people in at least six cities and villages, including a suburb of the capital, Damascus, witnesses told the Associated Press. Their accounts could not be independently confirmed. The regime of President Bashar Assad, an ally of Iran and supporter of militant groups around the region, had seemed immune from the Middle East’s three-month wave of popular uprising. His security forces, which have long silenced the slightest signs of dissent, quickly snuffed out smaller attempts at protests last month. Syrians also have fearful memories of the brutal crackdown unleashed by his father and predecessor, Hafez Assad, when Muslim fundamentalists in the central town of Hama tried an uprising in 1982: Thousands were killed and parts of the city were flattened by artillery and bulldozers. The Assads’ leadership — centered on members of their Alawi minority sect, a branch of Shiite Islam in this mainly Sunni nation — have built their rule by mixing draconian repression with increasing economic freedom, maintaining the loyality of wealthy Sunni merchant class in the prosperous cities of Damascus and Aleppo.

Tar Heels in Elite Eight UNC rips Marquette; faces Kentucky next BY TOM CANAVAN Associated Press

AssociAted Press

North carolina’s tyler Zeller (44) shoots over Marquette's erik Williams (12), who falls down during first-half action.

BY LUKE DECOCK ANAHEIM, Calif. — In the space of nine minutes, Duke’s pursuit of a second straight national title, a potential 12th trip to the Final Four, Nolan Smith’s Naismith Award campaign and the Kyrie Irving comeback all evaporated with stunning quickness. A season that began with such optimism ended in a blurry flurry of dunks and 3-pointers as Arizona came out to open the second half and blew the Blue Devils right off the floor. By the time it ended, Smith and Kyle Singler weren’t even on the floor, having left the game with two minutes to go,

and the outcome long ago out of doubt. The final minutes of Thursday’s 9377 loss to Arizona passed quickly as the Wildcats dominated Duke the way Duke dominates Big South teams that walk gingerly into Cameron Indoor Stadium and stagger out. “All of a sudden, you just can’t stop them,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “They were phenomenal in the second half. We just couldn’t stop them.” As omens go, Singler hitting his first two 3-pointers for Duke wasn’t bad. Watching Irving play like it was November again might have been a lit-

Montoya on pole BY JOHN MARSHALL Associated Press

FONTANA, Calif. — After a series of so-so qualifying runs the first four weeks of the season, Juan Pablo Montoya found something at Fontana, earning the pole for his 150th career NASCAR race. So what changed? Don’t ask him. “I don’t know, to tell you the truth,” Montoya said after hitting 184.653 mph on the 2mile oval at Auto Club Speedway. “There was a lot less grip in qualifying than there was early in practice, so I don’t know.” Montoya hasn’t qualified particularly well — his best

was 13th at Daytona — but has been good when the green drops for the race with two top-10 finishes, including a third at Las Vegas. He’s been decent at Fontana in the past, too, qualifying fifth or better while leading laps in each of the past four races there, finishing third at the fall race in 2009. The former Formula One driver will be seeking his first NASCAR win on an oval after winning his first two career races on road courses. He’ll start Sunday’s 400-mile race on the front row with Denny Hamlin, with Joey Logano and Regan Smith right behind them.

Everyone knew they could run up and down the court with the best in college basketball. Friday’s dominating defensive performance was an eye-opener. “I still think we can play better,’ Carolina guard Dexter Strickland said. “We haven’t played to our potential.” Marquette’s miserable game meant the Big East’s contingent of 11 teams has dipped to one — Connecticut. “We just couldn’t do anything right in the first half, and that’s just not the way we play,” said Davante Gardner who led the Golden Eagles with 16 points and six re-

NEWARK, N.J. — Catch ‘em if you 81 can. UNC After reMarquette 63 peated early, deep deficits this postseason, North Carolina flipped the script Friday night, dismantling Marquette 81-63 in an East Regional semifinal that was over before the half. North Carolina got off to its customary slow start, then seized control to move within a game of reaching the Final Four for the third time in four years. “I looked up at the clock and it was 10-8 their favor, and the next time I looked at the clock is when I went off at halftime and it was 40-15,” North Carolina coach Roy Williams said. “I knew we were doing very well to say the least.” Those 15 first-half points were the second-fewest allowed by North Carolina in a half in 144 NCAA tournament games, and the Marquette’s 20 percent shooting from the field came on 6-of-30 shooting that was the second lowest by an opponent in an NCAA tournament game. Just a year after missing the NCAA party, the kids from Chapel Hill are ready to steal the show. Tyler Zeller had 27 points and 15 rebounds, while John Henson added 14 points and 12 rebounds for the secondseeded Tar Heels in the rout at the Prudential Center. Harrison Barnes added 20 points and six rebounds. North Carolina (29-7) will face Kentucky (28-8) on Sunday for a spot in Houston.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel forwarded emails to Terrelle Pryor’s mentor that accused the star quarterback of selling memorabilia to a man under federal investigation, the Columbus Dispatch reported Friday. Citing unnamed sources, the newspaper reported that Tressel sent the information to Ted Sarniak, a businessman in Pryor’s hometown of Jeannette, Pa. Ohio State director of compliance Doug Archie told the paper that Sarniak and Pryor are longtime friends and that Sarniak was the player’s primary contact during recruiting. “As the friendship developed, Mr. Sarniak is someone who Terrelle has

reached out to for advice and guidance throughout his highschool and collegiate career,” Archie said in an email to the Columbus newspaper. Tressel will sit out the first five TRESSEL games next season and was fined $250,000 by the university for failing to notify the school about emails he received last April involving two players and questionable activities involving the sale of memorabilia. Tressel did not share those emails with Ohio State staff or the NCAA.

UNC, Stanford hook up Associated Press

SPOKANE, Wash. — If there is one thing Tara VanDerveer and Sylvia Hatchell have learned to do is win. They have a combined 1,683 career coaching victories. Each are members of the exclusive 800-win club in women’s college basketball and with one more NCAA tournament win, Hatchell can join VanDerveer as one of seven coaches with at least 40 tournament victories. And they lead two of the storied programs in women’s college hoops: Stanford and North Carolina with a combined 12 Final Four appearances between the two schools. “These two coaches definitely changed women’s basketball as a whole,” North Carolina guard Italee Lucas said. “Their knowledge for the game, their passion for the game has changed it worldwide.” So consider it surprising that when the fifth-seeded Tar Heels (28-8) and top-seeded Cardinal (31-2) meet on tonight in the Spokane Regional semifinals, it’ll be just the second time the two schools have ever met. The only previous meeting: the 1995 regional semifinals in Los Angeles and a 81-71 Stanford victory. “In the NCAA tournament it is kind of surprising too that we only played one time. That’s just I think based on the brackets we have been in and some of the years that they have gone to the Final Four we haven’t been in that mix and then some years we have and they haven’t been,” VanDerveer said. “So we’re excited to play them and they have a great program, but it would be fun to play them more.” This spot is familiar territory for the Cardinal as they seek a fourth straight Final Four appearance, back in the building where Stanford broke

a 10-year Final Four drought back in 2008 led by Candice Wiggins. But North Carolina hasn’t found itself this deep in the tournament since 2008 when the Tar Heels closed out an impressive four-year run by falling to LSU in the regional finals. North Carolina reached the regional finals in 2005 and 2008, sandwiched around trips to the Final Four — and losses in the national semifinals — in 2006 and ‘07. And while 2011 is a completely different circumstance than 16 years ago when Stanford and North Carolina last met, that previous meeting has remained vivid for Hatchell, who shared a hug with VanDerveer, her longtime friend, when the two teams swapped spots on the court for practice on Friday afternoon. “I’ve had a lot of flashbacks the last week or so. It was in ‘95 at UCLA when we played Stanford and that was the year after we won the national championship,” Hatchell said. “I have that game in my mind very well and basically it was the same time frame and we played late at night on the east coast.”

DUKE DURHAM — This might be as close as Joanne P. McCallie will ever get to coaching in the Big East tournament. Her Duke team is the lone outsider in a four-team Philadelphia regional field that includes three Big East schools: DePaul, Georgetown and powerhouse Connecticut. “We're definitely the outsider,” McCallie said Wednesday. “Nobody is talking about Duke, and nobody has talked about Duke for the entire tournament. In that way, we’ve already been the outsider.”

SALISBURY POST

Bobcats defeat Celtics on road BOSTON

—

Charlotte coach Paul Bobcats 83 Silas didn’t Celtics 81 think his team had a chance when it trailed by 13 points in the fourth quarter. He didn’t count on Boston’s poor offense, defense and teamwork. His young Bobcats had good reason to celebrate their 83-81 win on Friday night that left them just two games out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The mood in the postgame locker room was joyous. “It was unbelievable,” Silas said. “It’s just kind of indescribable.” Celtics coach Doc Rivers felt much differently. After all, one of the NBA’s best teams that should be building toward the playoffs lost for the sixth time in 10 games — and endured a 16-0 run in which the Bobcats took their first lead, 76-75, with 3:56 left. “The way we’re playing shocks me. Our attitude

Everything is me, me, me on our team right now, feeling sorry for themselves instead of giving themselves to the team and playing.” The Celtics led 66-53 entering the fourth quarter but were outscored 30-15 the rest of the way. The Bobcats went on a 214 run that put them ahead 8075 with 2:49 left on Gerald Henderson’s 18-footer. But Boston got the next six points to go up 81-80. Then Dante Cunningham hit a go-ahead 15-foot jumper with 34 seconds left, Henderson sank a free throw and Boston’s last hopes ended when Ray Allen missed a 3point attempt and Kevin Garnett failed on a jumper in the final 5 seconds. “When you play a good

You want to play the best that you can and just get yourself in a position to win at the end.” Charlotte, led by DJ White’s career-high 17 points, moved two games behind Indiana, which lost to Sacramento, for the eighth playoff spot in the East. Boston dropped two games behind the Chicago Bulls, who beat Memphis, for the best record in the East. Boston was led by Paul Pierce with 18 points and Allen with 14. “Our defense really broke down in the fourth quarter,” Pierce said.

Good start for team

ORLANDO, Fla. — Martin Laird loves when he can smash a driver, and that carried him a long way Friday at Bay Hill. Laird reached three of the par 5s in two shots, converted one of them into an eagle and wound up with a 7-under 65 for a oneshot lead over K.J. Choi and Spencer Levin in the Arnold Palmer Invitational. It wasn't just the par 5s. Even without any wind in the afternoon, Laird hit driver on the 384-yard fifth hole to set up a simple pitch and another birdie. He closed his round with a 321-yard tee shot on the ninth and a 12-foot birdie. Tiger Woods is still in the game, too. Woods raised his arm on the ninth green as his 20-foot birdie putt rolled in for a 4-under 68, leaving him six shots behind going into the weekend. Considering how so much of his year has gone, this would be considered progress for the sixtime winner at Bay Hill.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina's top football recruit Jadeveon Clowney was detained and handcuffed briefly by Columbia police early Friday morning because authorities say he fit the description of burglar. Clowney was questioned and released. To demonstrate — and downplay — what happened to Clowney, Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier was detained and handcuffed briefly by Police Chief Randy Scott while talking to the media after practice Friday afternoon. Clowney was stopped at 2 a.m. Friday morning, but Scott stressed that the 18year-old South Pointe High senior did nothing wrong. The chief did say Clowney was wrongly allowed into a bar in the Five Points district near campus; Scott said he was told the person who let Clowney inside had been fired. Clowney spoke to WIS-TV in Columbia about the incident. "They put the cuffs on us, searched us and said 'we must have the wrong guys,'" he said. • VERNON, Conn. — The man who fatally stabbed University of Connecticut football player Jasper Howard during an on-campus fight in 2009 tearfully apologized to Howard's family Friday as he was sentenced to 18 years in prison. John Lomax III, dressed in an orange prison jumpsuit with his hands and feet shackled, sobbed loudly as he told Howard's family that he regretted what he did. • BLACKSBURG, Va. — Blacksburg police say a Virginia Tech football player is facing child abuse charges in connection with injuries to his infant child. The Roanoke Times reports that 20-yearold Xavier Boyce and girlfriend Olivia Hutchins were arrested Wednesday on charges related to cruelty and injuries to the girl. Boyce is a redshirt sophomore split end. Police say they believe the child was injured Jan. 31 at the couple's home, but didn't say in what way the child was hurt.

NFL • CLEVELAND — A Cleveland Browns fan sued the National Football league and its

teams over the player lockout, claiming it violated his contract to buy tickets through his personal seat license. Ken Lanci, a self-made millionaire who ran unsuccessfully last year for the top county government job in Cleveland, filed the lawsuit Thursday in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court. "It's a fight between billionaires and millionaires," Lanci said Friday in a phone interview. "There isn't any sympathy for multi-millionaires. It's just not going to happen. And somebody has to stand up and say, ‘Enough's enough.’ ” • EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Eli Manning is a daddy. A friend of the family says the New York Giants quarterback's wife gave birth to a daughter on Monday. • BRISTOL, Conn. — Bill Parcells is no longer affiliated with the Miami Dolphins and will tape a draft special for ESPN. Dolphins spokesman Harvey Greene said Thursday "he's not associated with the team anymore in any official capacity."

TENNIS KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. — An angry Andy Murray screamed at the sky. He shook his head and muttered a bad word. Nothing could shake Murray from his post-Australian Open slump. The three-time Grand Slam runner-up lost Friday in his opening match at the Sony Ericsson Open to American qualifier Alex Bogomolov Jr., 6-1, 7-5. American women went 4-7 in the tournament, with none winning more than one match and none reaching the final 32. Serena and Venus Williams, who have eight Key Biscayne titles between them, missed the event for health reasons.

NBA NEW ORLEANS— Hornets leading scorer David West has a torn left knee ligament and is out for the season, a development that dims New Orleans' playoff prospects.

NHL TAMPA, Fla. — Erik Cole scored two goals to help Carolina beat Tampa Bay 4-3 on Friday night. Cole put the Hurricanes up 2-1 with a power-play goal at 8:23 of the second period and added an unassisted backhander 6:50 into the third. Eric Staal scored for the first time in eight games to give Carolina a 4-1 lead. Jeff Skinner added a goal for Carolina. Penguins 1, Devils 0 PITTSBURGH— James Neal scored in the third round of a shootout and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the New Jersey Devils in a game dominated by goalies Marc-Andre Fleury and Martin Brodeur.

FONTANA, Calif. — Tony Stewart doesn't usually hit high gear until the summer, when the temperatures are hot enough to melt rubber. Ryan Newman has a similar track record. This season, they're trying something new: running up front from the start. Typically slow starters, Stewart and Newman are ahead of schedule through the first four races this season, tied for third in the Sprint Cup series standings with 138 points each, 12 behind leader Kurt Busch. "It's definitely a good thing," Stewart said Friday before qualifying at Auto Club Speedway. "I don't know if you can look at it as a telltale sign of what our season's going to be like, but it's always nice to get off to a good start. You don't feel like you're playing catch up right off the bat." If it hadn't been for bad luck at Daytona, they'd be even better off. Stewart was sitting second in what would be the final restart, seemingly in great position to end his 0-for-12 streak at The Great American Race. Instead, he couldn't

link up with Martin — a necessity after Daytona's repaving — and ended up STEWART 13th. Newman had a good run going at Daytona, leading 37 laps, but was taken out on a laterace wreck with David Ragan on a restart The Daytona disappointment didn't carry over. Stewart struggled in qualifying to start 18th the next week at Phoenix, but ended up leading 59 laps and finished seventh. Next race in Las Vegas, Stewart had the best car all day, leading a race-high 163 laps, but had a pit mishap — he left the pits with the air hose still attached — that ultimately quashed his chances. Stewart was 22nd after his last pit stop, but still ended up finishing second behind Carl Edwards. Even a poor-handling car and a 19th at Bristol wasn't enough to slow Stewart's early momentum. He's led a series-high 222 laps, which, by itself, would be a sign that StewartHaas has put its early season woes behind.

“I think we’ve got a decent car,” Montoya said. “We always run good here, but the main thing is that we’re in good position for the points and we have to take advantage of that.” Montoya and the rest of the field had to play a bit of a guessing game after a series of storms, including one that lasted into Friday morning, pushed practice back two hours and trimmed it down to about 45 minutes. Even after track workers used a saw to cut notches in the concrete for drainage, the track still had a few wet spots seep up, which Kyle Busch blamed for his wreck on his first lap. Ryan Newman also complained about the water and Jimmie Johnson had to do some nice maneuvering to save a big bobble, though no other cars went into the wall. The short practice session made it kind of dicy for qualifying, though Hamlin didn’t seem to mind. He’s struggled qualifying this season and had his worst day last week at Bristol, starting 25th and moving backward from there for a back-in-the-pack 33rd. “It was probably good for me, as bad as I am in qualifying,” said Hamlin, who was about a half-second behind Montoya. “The least amount of practice everyone else has is better off in my favor.” Busch qualified eighth in his backup car.

Alex Bost was the winning pitcher for East Rowan.

watched his team improve to 4-0 in the NPC and 8-2 overall. “We’ve had a bad week, and it’s odd,” he said. “We’ve had good practices, but we’re not doing the little things well at all right now. There’s been no electricity in the crowd the last two games, but that’s our fault. We’re not playing well enough to get anyone excited.” East starting pitcher Alex Bost won his county-leading fourth game and struck out seven, but it was a rocky ride. In four innings, he walked five and he allowed six hits. Only a leaping catch by shortstop Justin Morris kept North Iredell (3-4, 1-4) off the scoreboard in the first, and the Raiders left the bases full in the second. Bost got two strikeouts to escape. “Alex got pitches up in the zone, hitters’ pitches, and it was like they capitalized on every single mistake he made,” East catcher Luke Thomas said. “But then he got dialed in pretty well.” East’s three-run second gave the Mustangs a 4-1 lead. It was keyed by Morris’ popfly, two-run double to left. North Iredell miscommunicated, and the left fielder and shortstop collided. But North Iredell answered with a three-run third that included a bases-loaded walk to No. 9 hitter Clint Jordan. That made it 4-4, and Hightower looked like he might explode. East settled it by sending t

Thomas opened the big inning with a walk and capped it by driving an outside fastball to right-center for a bases-clearing double. “I think we came out here just going through the motions,” Thomas said. “When they started scoring some runs, it was a wakeup call.”

Andy Austin had a two-run single for East in the fifth and scored the strange run to end the game on a strikeout, on which the third strike eluded the catcher. It was an odd ending to an odd game. “There hasn’t been a great baseball culture at North Iredell,” Key said. “It’s my job to change that. East Rowan is where we want to be.”

But where East is right now isn’t quite where Hightower wants it to be. “It’s like we dated Megan Fox, she broke up with us, and now we don’t want to date any other girls,” he said. “We came to play against Carson, but it’s like we don’t care about playing the games that aren’t big. You’ve got to play the regular games too.”

Rollins’ rip sparks Phillies past Braves Associated Press

CLEARWATER, Fla.— Philadelphia Phillies right-hander 3 Joe Blanton blanked an Phillies 1 Atlanta Braves split Braves squad for six innings en route to a 3-1 win on Friday. Jimmy Rollins hit a two-run homer in the first to give Blanton all the offense he would need. Philadelphia third baseman Placido Polanco was 0 for 2 with a pair of groundouts in his first game since hyperextending his left elbow March 15. He said afterward that he still wasn’t 100 percent but didn’t believe the injury would hold him back any longer. Blanton, the fifth starter in Philadelphia’s ace-stacked rotation, retired his first eight batters, three by strikeout, and limited Atlanta to five hits. He struck out four and didn’t issue any walks. “I feel pretty close,” said Blanton, who will have an abbreviated outing Wednesday in an exhibition game in Philadelphia before the regular season begins. “When you have a good start it helps you mentally, gives you a little momentum heading in. Hopefully I can keep that rolling and just gradually get better as I go.” Blanton is tentatively scheduled to make his regular-season debut April 6 against the New York Mets. He’ll follow two Cy Young Award winners, Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee, and two postseason MVPs, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels. “Joe did fine,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. “He mixed his pitches well, changed speeds good and had a pretty good cutter.” After Braves third baseman Brandon Hicks ended the shutout bid with a oneout RBI single off Danys Baez in the seventh, the Phillies called on their two temporary closing candidates to end the game.

Ryan Madson pitched a scoreless eighth before Jose Contreras came on in the ninth and sent the Braves down 1-23. Contreras struck out the last two hitters of the game to earn the save, his first of the spring. Earlier in the day, Philadelphia general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. announced that closer Brad Lidge’s right shoulder injury would prevent him from starting the season healthy, meaning the Phillies will be looking for a fill-in closer. Madson and Contreras both had experience saving games last season. “We’ve used them before, they can get it done,” Manuel said, declining to say which right-hander will get the temp job. Former Phillies pitcher Rodrigo Lopez made his latest attempt to keep a job with the Braves. Lopez gave up three runs and five hits in five innings. In camp on a minor league contract, Lopez is 0-2 with a 3.86 ERA this spring. “I think overall I had good results,” he said. “I was hoping to get better numbers, like less runs allowed, but it’s hard sometimes to get the feel of your pitches early in camp. But I think I did everything possible to make the club.” • NOTES: Oswalt played catch and had no ill effects from getting hit with a line drive below his right ear Wednesday. Oswalt is scheduled to pitch in an exhibition game in Philadelphia against the Pittsburgh Pirates next Wednesday. ... Philadelphia 2B Luis Castillo was 1 for 2 with two walks in his third game since signing a minor league deal on Monday. Castillo was 0 for 8 with the Phillies entering the game. • KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Rookie Brandon Beachy allowed two hits in six scoreless innings, Chipper Jones hit his fourth homer of the spring and the Atlanta Braves beat the Detroit Tigers 5-3 Friday night.

second to make it 3-0. He hit a sacrifice fly in the fourth as well. “You have to make sure everybody is going up there with a good approach and just sit back,” Tyler said. Dylan Goodman scored later in the inning as South led 4-0 after two. Miller struck out the side in the bottom of the inning and went to left field in the third. “Three pitchers came in and threw strikes and worked ahead,” Chrismon said. “We played great defense behind them.” The Raiders added four more runs in the fourth. Penninger singled home a run before Miller was hit by a pitch from Boris Salvador to put ducks on the pond. Jacob Dietz hit a fly ball to right field that went off the glove of Jerry Jones to score a pair. Parker Hubbard reached base in all four at-bats for the

CARSON FROM 8B That was normal for him and us. We just couldn’t do anything after the first inning.” It wasn’t for lack of opportunity. Carson had runners on base in all seven innings — but stranded nine. Leading 2-1 in the second, the Cougars put men on first and second with two out before Grant induced one of his 10 groundouts to escape. An inning later Joe Basinger coaxed a walk and Josh Martin reached on a twoout bunt single, but that rally fizzled when Tripp Cross went down swinging. “My curve and slider got better as the game went on,” Grant said after his 112-pitch, complete-game effort. “That first inning they came out firing. But after that, everything fell into place.” Meanwhile, things started unravelling for Carson. A couple of close calls went against the Cougars. The plate umpire’s Mini-Me strike zone, paired with their failure to produce timely hits, left them angered and frustrated. Grant certainly noticed. “Seeing us get down just gave him more momentum,” said Youngo, a .393 hitter before the first pitch. “He’s a pretty good pitcher, but our hitters weren’t on tonight. We missed a lot of opportunities.” West tied the score in the bottom of the fourth when Vance Robinette singled, was

Raiders, stole four bases and scored four runs despite not having a hit. Hubbard walked twice, reached on an error, and TYLER went to first on a wild strike 3. Hubbard scored the 10th run on a passed ball in the sixth. Goodman had an RBI infield single GOODMAN to push the last run across. Statesville catcher Matt Bowers was the lone Greyhound to have multiple hits with two singles. South relished the win for a brief stint before glancing ahead to its intracounty rival. “It’s always a big game,” Tyler said of South and East. “We’ll be ready and they’ll be ready.”

sacrificed to second and scored on Travis Fetter’s two-out base hit. CHS starting pitcher Gavin Peeler was chased in CAUBLE the fifth inning after surrendering a leadoff single and hitting West’s next batter. The hosts cashed in against Josh Martin, who PEELER relieved and allowed the tie-breaking run to score on a wild pitch. With two runners in scoring position, Robinette lofted a first-pitch sac fly to center to make it 42. “I told Robinette he had one chance to get the run in,” said West’s Coach Martin. “Then we were gonna squeeze.” Carson made a final charge up the hill in the top of the seventh, only to be repelled once again. Hogan grounded a oneout single before Basinger smashed a Ruthian fly ball that Robinette snagged in deep left field. The drama ended when Galloway bounced out. “The last few games our approach at the plate had been better,” Caudle concluded. “We regressed a little tonight, but Grant had something to do with that. Hats off to him.”

Young, Baker lead Minnesota to victory Associated Press

Spring Training roundup ... FORT MYERS, Fla. — Delmon Young hit a two-run homer and Scott Baker pitched six solid innings to help the Minnesota Twins beat the Baltimore Orioles 65 on Friday. Jake Fox hit his ninth home run of the spring and Adam Jones his fifth for Baltimore. Nolan Reimold also went deep. Orioles starter Brad Bergesen was hit on the right forearm by Denard Span's line drive in the first inning. Bergesen left the game after throwing only four pitches, but X-rays were negative and the injury was determined to be a bruise. Rays 9, Pirates 5 PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. — Justin Ruggiano drove in three runs to lift Tampa Bay over Pittsburgh. Ruggiano's two-run single off Joel Hanrahan snapped a sixth-inning tie. He added an RBI in the eighth as the Rays won their fifth straight spring training game. Yankees 6, Astros 4 TAMPA, Fla. — Ivan Nova all but locked up a spot in New York's rotation, pitching six impressive innings against Houston. The right-hander allowed two runs and three hits with two walks and a pair of strikeouts. Yankees manager Joe Girardi is expected to announce Saturday that Nova will fill one of two open spots in the rotation. Nova,

Freddy Garcia and Bartolo Colon were all but assured positions on the pitching staff earlier in the day when the Yankees traded righthander Sergio Mitre to Milwaukee for outfielder Chris Dickerson. Eric Chavez had a solo homer and Brett Gardner added a two-run shot off Astros No. 5 starter Nelson Figueroa in the second. Russell Martin hit a two-run triple in the sixth. Marlins 6, Mets 5 JUPITER, Fla. — Anibal Sanchez threw three-hit ball for 51⁄3 scoreless innings in his longest outing of the spring for Florida. Mike Stanton had two more RBIs, one each on a double and a sacrifice fly. He has nine RBIs in two games since he made his Grapefruit League debut Thursday after missing most of the spring with a right quadriceps strain. Ike Davis homered for New York. Angels 10, Athletics 3 PHOENIX — Jeff Mathis hit a two-run homer and Matt Palmer pitched six strong innings as Los Angeles beat Oakland. Mathis' homer, his first of the spring, highlighted a four-run third against Brandon McCarthy. A one-out single by Mathis in the fifth drove in Alberto Callaspo, who led off the inning with a double.

Padres 10, Reds 4 GOODYEAR, Ariz — Reds right-hander Edinson Volquez pitched five shaky innings in a tuneup for his start on opening day. Volquez allowed three runs on nine hits and four walks in his final outing before facing Milwaukee next week. Brewers 7, Indians 4 PHOENIX — Carlos Gomez hit a grand slam to lead Milwaukee over Cleveland. George Kottaras also homered and Rickie Weeks had three hits for the Brewers. Cubs 6, Mariners (ss) 3 MESA, Ariz. — Randy Wells tossed 5 2-3 solid innings after manager Mike Quade announced he had earned the No. 4 spot in Chicago's rotation. Wells gave up five hits and three runs while striking out eight as the Cubs won

their third straight. Diamondbacks (ss) 6, Dodgers (ss) 3 TUCSON, Ariz. — Armando Galarraga went six innings and Arizona beat Los Angeles in a split-squad game that benefited victims of the January shooting that killed six and injured Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Dallas Green, brother of victim Christina-Taylor Green and grandson of former major league manager Dallas Green, threw out a first pitch. So did Ken Dorushka, who was injured in the shooting. Nationals 3, Cardinals 2 VIERA, Fla. — Tom Gorzelanny and Kyle Lohse both pitched well for six innings as Washington beat St. Louis.

"I don't know if he can help us or not," New York general manager Brian Cashman said. "No-risk, possible-reward option." The 36-year-old was 4-16 with a 5.10 ERA last season with Baltimore. Millwood is 159-137 with a 4.11 ERA in 14 big league seasons with Atlanta (1997-02), Philadelphia (2003-04), Cleveland (2005), Texas (2006-09) and Baltimore (2010). BONDS TRIAL SAN FRANCISCO — Barry Bonds' trial was a lot like high school chemistry and biology class Thursday. After former Bonds business partner Steve Hoskins finished a crossexamination in which he admitted his previous statements included inconsistencies and inaccuracies, Larry Bowers of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency took the witness stand for more than four hours of mind-numbing testimony on the whats, whys and hows of steroids, human growth hormone and changes they cause to the body. Bonds is charged with lying when he told a grand jury in 2003 that he didn't knowingly use performance-enhancing drugs. RETIRING SURPRISE, Ariz. — Mike Sweeney wanted to end his career the same

way he started it, as a member of the Kansas City Royals. So the former slugger signed a one-day minor league contract with Kansas City, then officially retired Friday as a member of the Royals. The 37-year-old Sweeney was a five-time All-Star with Kansas City. He finished with a .297 average, 215 home runs and 909 RBIs. • MESA, Ariz. — Braden Looper has told the Chicago Cubs he is retiring. The 36-year-old pitcher was in camp as a non-roster player, trying to make a comeback after sitting out last season. The Cubs informed him Friday that he would not make the team out of spring training, so Looper decided to retire. REDS’ INJURIES GOODYEAR, Ariz. — The Cincinnati Reds took another hit to their starting rotation on Friday, losing right-hander Homer Bailey because of a shoulder problem. General manager Walt Jocketty said that Bailey felt something in his shoulder during his last start. Tests found he has some limited movement, forcing him to rest for a week. He'll open the season on the disabled list along with right-handed starter Johnny Cueto, who has mild inflammation in his shoulder. WHITE SOX GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Chicago White Sox named Brent Morel their starting third baseman. The 23-year-old rookie beat out veteran Mark Teahen, who is hitting .333.

NCAA TOURNAMENT

So long Jimmer Fredette, it was nice knowing you most NCAA Tournament appearances without making the Final Four -- 26 and counting -- stashed away until next year. But they will have to do it without arguably the best player in school history, who played the latter part of the second half with a bandage on his chin, having banged it against the floor after being tripped by Florida's Vernon Macklin.

Kemba next for Arizona

AssociAted Press

Uconn’s Kemba Walker talks to the media about Arizona. Orange County on Friday as both teams prepared for the final 40 minutes before the Final Four. The Wildcats are back in the national title hunt and on top of West Coast hoops after missing the tournament in coach Sean Miller's debut season. With a roster built around California talent with an East Coast pugnacity, Arizona won the regular-season Pac-10 title before taking apart defending national champion Duke in Thursday's regional semifinals. "I didn't expect the dramatic change to happen so fast," said Kevin Parrom, a Bronx native and Arizona's top bench scorer. "It feels good that we're making our own mark

Stevens continues his emergence Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — With his Butler Bulldogs mired in a funk earlier this season, 34year-old coach Brad Stevens picked up his phone and called Florida's Billy Donovan. If the nation's hottest young coach needed advice, it makes sense he'd seek it from a n o t h e r coach who not long ago BUTLER carried the same label. "He just shared insights, shared thoughts," Stevens said. "You're just two coaches on the phone talking for 30 or 45 minutes just sharing stories and sharing ideas. "You're just looking for anything at that moment in time to flip a switch." From Donovan's perspective, that advice might have been a little too good. Now on a 12-game winning streak dating back to Feb. 5, eighth-seeded Butler (26-9) will face second-seeded Florida (29-7) today in the NCAA Southeast Regional final. On Friday, Stevens and Donovan both spoke of the respect they've developed for each other's programs since meeting for the first time in 2007 at a Florida coaching clinic. Stevens said he called Donovan because the coach had a unique persepctive of coming off a Final Four season and dealing with heightened expectations. Donovan, 45, has a more accomplished resume with three Final Four appearances, two national championships and more than a decade of sustained success at a program that wasn't considered a national powerhouse before his arrival in 1996. But Stevens is gaining ground quickly. He led the Bulldogs to a shocking NCAA Tournament run last season, advancing to the national championship game before a narrow loss to Duke. Now Butler is just one victory away from a second consecutive Fi-

nal Four — an accomplishment unheard of for a socalled mid-major program. To Donovan, Stevens isn't a great young coach. He's simply a great coach — period. "I think a lot of times people can label somebody based on their age, and I don't think that's fair to Brad," Donovan said. For Donovan and Stevens, the similarity in style is striking. They're usually calm on the sidelines, with an understated approach that players say helps in tense situations. Both were guards in college, and are known for recruiting smart players who play well together and don't have huge egos. "Sometimes we'll be in the huddle during a tight game and look up at coach Stevens and he's just so calm," senior Zach Hahn said. "You wonder 'How's he doing that?' But it definitely has an effect on everyone else. We don't get rattled easily." Most importantly, both coaches are winners. "I personally believe he's one of the best coaches in America," Butler junior Shelvin Mack said. "He continues to do great things year in and year out. Just because you're young doesn't mean that me and my teammates don't respect him." Butler sophomore Chase Stigall said Stevens is a master of motivation, with an ability to mold his style to fit different players. When the Bulldogs were on a three-game losing streak in February — something unheard of for many of the players on the current roster — Stigall said Stevens didn't panic or do anything desperate. He just did what he does best, communicate. "He has a different way with every player," Stigall said. "When he's tuning into a certain player, he has a different way of treating each guy. He knows that my high school coach was a yeller, and he knows that I can be yelled at and that's how I respond the best. Other people can't respond to that — and he knows it."

in the history books." Derrick Williams believes Arizona grew into its talent down the stretch, and nobody did it better than the high-flying forward from nearby La Mirada, Calif., himself, scoring a career-high 32 points during the Wildcats' evisceration of Duke. Williams knew Arizona's history when he decommitted from Southern California along with Jones and Solomon Hill to join the Wildcats two years ago — and he's also talked to fans hungry for another title because their Tshirts from Arizona's 1997 championship are getting a bit tight.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Lamont Jones spent his last spring break staring at his dorm room walls in Tucson, fuming over Arizona's failure to make the NCAA tournament after 25 straight trips. Kemba Walker had a few similarly sleepless nights in Storrs when Connecticut also missed the tournament last spring. "It happens to all great programs from time to time, but I just decided I wouldn't go through that again," Walker said. So did Jones, Walker's friend since junior high. Two dynamic guards from New York have played major roles in getting two perennial powers back to the brink of the Final Four just one year after they fell out of the field. Arizona (30-7) and UConn (29-9) will meet in the West regional final today at Honda Center, ending one perennial power's spring resurgence and sending the other to Houston. "This is the kind of game you expect to play when you go to a school like Arizona or UConn," said Jones, known to everybody as MoMo. "These are the teams that play for championships, and it's good to get Arizona back on top." Redemption was a recurring topic of conversation in

what the coaches were selling us," Williams said. "It's a chain reaction, and you can believe in what they're saying when you're at a winning program like ours." Miller humbly gives much of the credit for Arizona's resurgence to the culture of winning built by retired coach Lute Olson, whose brief appearance on the overhead scoreboard prompted loud chants of "Luuuute!" from the Wildcats fans who are expected to dominate the building again Saturday. Miller knows programs build a generational momentum that one down season can't kill. The Huskies also stayed home last year, but it was just one disappointment in a few years of trouble for veteran coach Jim Calhoun, who dealt with punishment for recruiting violations and what the NCAA labeled "failing to create an atmosphere of compliance." UConn scuffled through a .500 regular season in Big East play this winter before winning five games in five days to take the conference tourney, followed by this remarkable cross-country NCAA run. Not much in basketball can surprise the 68-year-old coach, but he's pleasantly thrilled by Walker's ability to take charge of two straight tournaments in dramatic style.

NEW ORLEANS — Finding ways to win games when everything was going against them became a trademark of the BYU Cougars this season, their best ever in terms of wins and winning percentage. An opponent finally found the solution for slowing down coach Dave Rose's team, and superstar guard

Second-seeded Florida, after blowing a chance to win the game in regulation, raced past the thirdseeded Cougars in the extra session, taking an 83-74 win to end BYU's magical season at New Orleans Arena.

Kentucky's Brandon Knight (12) knocks the ball away from Ohio state's Jared sullinger (0).

Knight does in No. 1 Buckeyes Associated Press

NEWARK, N.J. — Brano n d Kentucky 62 Knight did Ohio State 60 it again. Knight knocked down a jumper with 5 seconds remaining as the fourth-seeded Wildcats stunned top-seeded Ohio State 62-60 on Friday in the East regional semifinals. Senior center Josh Harrellson held his own against Ohio State super freshman Jared Sullinger, scoring 17 points and grabbing 10 rebounds as the Wildcats (288) advanced to play North Carolina on Sunday for a trip to the Final Four. Knight, who knocked down a game-winner in Kentucky’s second-round win over Princeton, shrugged off another sluggish performance to drill the biggest shot of his career. Kentucky coach John Calipari opted not to call timeout after Ohio State’s John Diebler hit a 3-pointer to tie the game at 60 with 21 seconds remaining, and Knight delivered a silky 15foot jumper. Ohio State rushed down the floor, but William Buford’s 3-pointer clanked off the rim and the rebound was tapped out of harm’s way. The Wildcats, who struggled to win close games earlier in the season, rushed onto the floor as the buzzer sounded. DeAndre Liggins, like Harrellson a leftover from Billy Gillispie’s days at Kentucky, hopped atop a table and pounded his chest as Knight stood at halfcourt and soaked in the moment. The victory proved sweet vindication for the two

holdovers, who were mostly spectators last season as Calipari revitalized the program behind a star-studded freshmen class led by John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins. Harrellson and Liggins took this year’s group of youngsters under their wing and delivered the kind of savvy veteran presence the Wildcats could have used last season, which ended with a loss to an experienced West Virginia squad in the East regional final. Liggins finished with 15 points for the Wildcats, who beat Ohio State for the first time in the NCAA tournament behind a suffocating defense that limited the Buckeyes to 32 percent shooting. Sullinger led Ohio State (34-3) with 21 points and 16 rebounds, but the Buckeyes fell in the regional semifinals for a second straight season. Sullinger said in the aftermath he expects to return for his sophomore year, if only to wash out the taste of a bitter end to an otherwise spectacular season. Ohio State rolled through the regular season but like the last two top overall seeds entering the NCAA tournament, the Buckeyes are going home early. The win gives Kentucky a chance to avenge a loss to the Tar Heels earlier in the season. The Wildcats fell 7573 in Chapel Hill in December, a game in which they gave away several chances to win. Those days seem long gone. Kentucky has won nine straight and developed the kind of grit Calipari knew would come if he stayed patient.

Three weeks ago, they were blown out by a sub .500 Seton Hall team in a game that seemingly put the Golden Eagles out of the NCAA tournament. Marquette, however, played well enough in the Big East Conference tournament to make the show then knocked off Xavier and fourth-seeded Syracuse. Going against North Carolina was a mismatch. “We had zero assists at halftime, and we never do that,” said Jimmy Butler, who had 14 points in his final game. “I had no idea what was going on. We had to be able to adjust and get some baskets, but we let them get away with doing whatever they wanted to do. The toughest team usually wins, and we definitely were not the tougher team.” The Tar Heels played a physical game against their tough-minded opponent for the opening eight minutes and then took control. Trailing 10-8 with 12:43 to go, North Carolina went on a 19-0 run, forcing Marquette to miss 14 straight shots. The game was just about over at that point. Kendall Marshall started the North Carolina run with a shot in the lane, and Zeller gave the Tar Heels the lead for good, grabbing two offensive rebounds on the same possession and putting the second one in. Marshall, who had seven assists, hit another jumper in the lane and then made a

Krzyzewski’s pursuit of Bobby Knight stalled Thursday at 900 wins, but not one of those 900 came in an NCAA Tournament game in the Pacific time zone. Eight years after Duke’s season ended in this very same round on this very same floor, it happened again. Nick Collison scored 33 for Kansas that night in 2003; Derrick Williams did the honors for Arizona on Thursday with 32, but it wasn’t until the Wildcats went away from Williams and started taking the ball to the rim that the tide turned for them.

Marquette’s futility ended when Butler hit a jumper with 3:54 to go, ending a nearly nine-minute scoring drought for the Golden Eagles, who scored five points in the final 12:42 of the half to fall behind 40-15. North Carolina added to Marquette’s misery in the opening minutes of the second half, scoring the first six points to open a 46-15 lead.

light up San Diego State for 36 in the opening game, it’s hard to imagine one player doing more than Williams did in the first half for Arizona. Williams dominated inside, stepped out to hit 3pointer after 3-pointer and scored 25 in the first half, and the Wildcats were still trying to figure out how to close a six-point gap. They figured it out to open the second, or maybe Duke did it for them. With the Blue Devils preoccupied with Williams, his teammates outscored the Blue Devils 26-9 — at will, really — and Williams chipped in a pair to open an 11-point lead. Duke never recovered. Not even Irving could save the Devils this time, and certainly not Smith nor Singler, who won a national championship together last season, but lost their way Thursday. “I’m disappointed for them, especially for the two guys on my left,”

from the Pac-10 (Southern Cal), Big East (Georgetown), Big Ten (Purdue) and now the ACC, they will try adding the Big 12 to their hit list, facing top-seeded Kansas. The Jayhawks advanced with a 77-57 rout over Richmond.

After the second basket, Williams called another timeout. Strickland then stole the inbound pass and scored on a fastbreak to further embarrass the Golden Eagles. “I thought in the first half we were pitiful,” Buzz Williams said. “We shot 52 percent in the second half, which is more aligned with what we typically do. They shot 38 percent in the second half, which is ideally what we want to hold teams to.”

Krzyzewski said, gesturing to Singler and Smith. “Look, the tournament is cruel — it’s an abrupt end for everybody when you don’t win.” Smith, who carried the Blue Devils to so many wins over the final two years of his career, finished with eight points on 3-for-14 shooting. By the time Singler picked up his fourth foul with 10:40 still to play, it was clear that Duke’s season would fizzle out west. Since the adoption of the “pod” system in 2002, teams from the eastern half of the country given No. 1 seeds in the West Regional haven’t had a lot of luck. With Duke’s loss, only two of those six made it to the Final Four. Smith and Singler are done. Irving is likely done as well. Next year’s team will be a different one, with plenty of new faces and without those two faces that became so familiar over the past four years.

Brady Morningstar scored 18 for the Jayhawks. The Spiders looked jittery in the what was only the school’s second round-of-16 appearance. The Jayhawks, meanwhile, were calm and confident in reaching a fourth regional final under coach Bill Self. Justin Harper led Richmond with 22 points. “We weren’t able to slow them down in any way,” Richmond coach Chris Mooney said. Thomas Robinson had 12 points and 14 rebounds, and Marcus Morris scored 13 for Kansas. The Jayhawks have yet to be tested so far this tournament, winning by an average of nearly 18 points. The Southwest regional is the first in NCAA history with three double-digit seeded teams. Kansas awaited the winner of 11th-seeded Virginia Commonwealth and 10th-seeded Florida State. The Jayhawks can make it to Houston next week without having beaten a seed higher than ninth-seeded Illinois. If that happens, Kansas will join Michigan State in 2001 and North Carolina in 1991 as the only schools to get that far without having to beat a seed higher than nine.

The Spiders passed up open shots, bounced balls into the Kansas bench and found themselves down 319 with more than six minutes still left before halftime.

South Rowan gets back on track BY RYAN BISESI rbisesi@salisburypost.com

STATESVILLE — After tough losses to Carson Central S. Rowan 11 and Statesville 0 Cabarrus earlier in the week, South Rowan was in need of a trip to winless Statesville for its most important victory of the year. At least South Rowan coach Thad Chrismon felt that way. “I try to tell these guys that every conference game is the most important game of the season,”

Chrismon said. “Baseball is a funny game. The best thing about baseball is everybody’s got a chance to win.” The Greyhounds had a chance, hanging around for a few innings before South gathered itself and disposed of its host in an 11-0 win in six innings. It gave the Raiders (6-4, 4-1) their fourth win in five 3A North Piedmont Conference games, a pleasant start heading into next Tuesday’s big clash with East Rowan in showdown between the teams at the top of the NPC standings.

PENNINGER

MULLIS

In a game that featured first baseman 5-foot-11, 270-pound Preston Penninger’s first stolen base of his career, starter Matt Miller, Tyler Corriher and Daniel Mullis

all threw two innings each for South in the win. The trio struck out 13 batters, allowing four hits and two walks. Miller, the Raiders’ No. 1 pitcher, threw 40 pitches and got all six of his outs via strikeout. Corriher struck out three in his two innings while Mullis sat down four. “We kind of split the game up on purpose,” Chrismon said. “We had them on a pitch count and they all did their job.” The Raiders won the game without an extra-base hit, making it up with nine stolen bases. “We’re going to win with our

pitching, defense and manufacturing runs,” Chrismon said. “We were concentrating on this game as far as playing our baseball. Good pitching, good defense and trying to do the little things at the plate.” South’s first hit of the night came on a bunt single from Tyler Kowalczyk, who scored on Eric Tyler’s single into left.

East shortstop Justin Morris fires to first base after fielding a grounder.

GRANITE QUARRY — North Iredell’s baseball E. Rowan 15 program earned N. Iredell 5 a measure of respect, and East Rowan earned another NPC win despite playing well below coach Brian Hightower’s lofty expectations. First-place East beat the Raiders 15-5 in five innings at Staton Field on Friday, but there were some anxious moments for the Mustangs, who found themselves in a

4-4 tie before they put together an eight-run third inning. “North Iredell’s decent,” said East Rowan third baseman Avery Rogers who went 3-for-3, knocked in three runs and also contributed a spectacular defensive gem. “We’ve been walking on them a long time, but they showed us something tonight in the jayvee game as well as the varsity game.” North Iredell’s first-year coach Denny Key was slightly horrified that his hurlers served up 140 pitches in the 10-run rule game, but he felt pretty good about the way

his guys swung the bats. Josh Sharpe ripped two doubles, Zack Davis drove in a run all three times he stepped to the plate, and Josh Speight was 2-for-2 and executed on a sacrifice bunt. “We did have some quality atbats,” Key said. “I’ve just got to keep reminding myself that I’ve got a bunch of 15-year-olds. We’ve got to get our pitching reined, but we did come here and battle.” A subdued Hightower sounded like the losing coach, not a guy who

West Iredell stops Cougars’ bats BY DAVID SHAW dshawi@salisburypost.com

STATESVILLE — Carson’s baseball team did its W. Iredell 4 part to keep West Carson 2 Iredell in the NPC race Friday night. The visiting Cougars couldn’t find their stroke against lefty Sean Grant and suffered a 4-2 loss that tightened the already-congested league standings. “It was an important game for us because we’re trying to keep pace,”

said coach Chris Cauble. “But it was very important for them because they’ve been struggling a bit. A loss here puts them even further down the line.” Carson (7-5, 4-2) was limited to six singles and dropped into third place. Fourth-place West (4-4, 3-2) erased an early two-run deficit and captured a game head coach Randy Martin called “a must win.” He added: “I went through Carson’s lineup and saw they were hitting like .360 as a team. We had to figure out a way to shut them down.”

YOUNGO

GALLOWAY

Grant provided a solution. The junior braided a garden-variety fastball with a baffling assortment of off-speed deliveries to win his third

game of the season. He blanked the Cougars on four hits over the final six innings. “He kept us off-balance with lots of off-speed stuff,” said Carson’s Gunnar Hogan. “At times he even pitched backwards.” That’s baseball venacular for throwing fastballs on curveball counts and vice versa. Grant was more of a laborer than a craftsman, but his thought process helped silence a hot-hitting team. “He actually worked his fastball off the plate,” Martin reported, “and

tried to get them out with soft stuff.” The Cougars seemed to have Grant’s number in the top of the first inning. Kyle Youngo steered a leadoff single up the middle, Hogan drew a one-out walk and both runners scored when designated hitter Mitch Galloway drilled a two-out single — on an 0-2 pitch — into center field. “The last four of five ballgames (Galloway) probably has 10 or 11 RBIs for us,” said Cauble. “He’s really starting to feel himself now.

The Rev. Chad Holtz was fired from his position as pastor from a church in Henderson, N.C., after posting on his Facebook page a defense of a forthcoming book by megachurch pastor Rob Bell, in which Bell challenges millions of Christians’ understanding of the afterlife. some Christians stress the torments of hell, Bell argues, keep many believers needlessly afraid of a loving God, and repel potential Christians who might otherwise be curious about the faith’s teachings. “The heart of the Christian story is that God is love,” he said. “But when you hear the word ‘Christian,'’ you don’t necessarily think ‘Oh, sure, those are the people who don’t stop talking about God’s love.’ Some other things would come to mind.” About the only thing everyone agrees on is that this is not a new debate in Christianity. It stretches to antiquity, when Christianity was a persecuted

sect in the Roman Empire, and the third century theologian Origen developed a theory that contemporary critics charged would mean that everyone, even the devil himself, would ultimately be saved. Church leaders eventually condemned ideas they attributed to Origen, but he has had a lasting influence across the Roman Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant traditions. Those traditions often disagree, even internally, on what awaits souls after death. The Catholic Church, which has a formal process for identifying souls in heaven through canonization, pointedly refrains from saying that anyone is without a

doubt in hell. Protestants reject the concept of purgatory, in which sins can be atoned for after death, but disagree on other questions. The lack of consensus is enabled partly by ambiguities in the Bible. Evangelical opposition to Bell is exemplified in a succinct tweet from prominent evangelical pastor John Piper: “Farewell, Rob Bell.” Page Brooks, a professor at the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, thinks Bell errs in a conception of a loving God that leaves out the divine attributes of justice and holiness.

See HELL, 3C

My Christian beliefs: Studying the Bible is important y faith is based on the Holy Bible, from which our Christian religious beliefs come. Hebrews Chapter 11 is called the “faith chapter.” Hebrews 11:3 reads: “By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command (Genesis) so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.” This chapter goes on to show how the Old Testament LINDA believers’ (and writers’) lives BECK were based on faith. Now you must decide if you are a “creation believer,” one who believes in the “Big Bang Theory” or an “evolution believer.” If you are either of the last two, then the rest of what I say here will go in one ear and out the other. I wrote this for a doubter but by the time I finished, I knew God had given me a story to share with others as well.

Just as God inspires his followers like me today, he enabled the original writers of the Bible to record the history from those days. These writers were chosen by God, and “all scripture is given by inspiration of God” (2 Timothy). On a smaller scale, there are times when I feel the Holy Spirit tell me what to write. When I wrote my first simple stories, I never dreamed the day would come when God would lead me to writing more stories from scripture. The following paragraph is quoted from a lesson “How to Read the Bible Through.” “The Bible is not just great literature; it is the inspired word of God. Just as the Holy Spirit was present in the writing of scripture, so must He be present in our reading of the Word. We can read the Bible without the leadership of the Holy Spirit and still learn Bible facts. But we will never gain insight into the truth and application of God’s Word until we ask the Holy Spirit to open our minds and reveal His truth to us.”

Any time we study God’s word, we should pray that the Holy Spirit will help us understand what we read and how to apply the truth in our own lives. Christianity is the belief in Jesus Christ as one member of the Holy Trinity, God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. One should never use the word “Christian” if one does not believe in Jesus Christ as the son of God and lord and savior. There is so much in the Bible that we may never understand. We may wonder why God did something the way he did just as we often question why our lives are the way they are today. Any time we study God’s word, we should first pray that the Holy Spirit will help us understand what we read and how to apply the truth in our own lives. Until 1993 when my brother gave me a study Bible, I did not realize how little I knew about the Bible, even though I had gone to church on a regular basis as a child. Failure to read and study the Bible will keep one from growing spiri-

tually or accepting God’s way as the light of our world or the path for our feet to follow. Physical pain and loss of our healthy bodies or our loved ones is used by Satan to try to turn us away from God. And sometimes God uses these things to test our faith (read the Book of Job). At other times, he uses our circumstances and attitudes to share with others, as I try to do through my columns. I know from my own experiences that one cannot really understand Christians or our beliefs unless they study God’s word. Each person has to make a personal decision. Are you an agnostic, atheist or Christian? Have you ever invited Jesus into your heart? Do you understand and believe in the holy trinity? If you were to die today, do you know for sure whether you would go to heaven? If not, there is a plan of salvation (certain scriptures) and prayer to think about. There was a time when I was not comfortable discussing religion, but I know now that I am

an evangelist for Christ and that is it my Christian duty to share my beliefs in God the father, the son and the holy spirit. As always, I was reminded at the holidays that so many people only see Christmas as receiving or giving gifts. They do not recognize Christmas as coming from the word Christ and being a celebration of the greatest gift of all, Jesus Christ. Emmanuel means “God with us” and he is still with us today if we believe, ask forgiveness, and invite him into our lives. We have “all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God,” but our lord and savior is a forgiving and loving God. Are you ready to ask for forgiveness for past sins and invite Jesus Christ into your heart? God is good. He can turn our lives around and help us to turn our losses into gains. Pray without ceasing! • Plan of Salvation: Romans 3:23, 6:23; 10:9-10 and 10:13. Linda Beck lives in Woodleaf.

A married Navy veteran with five children, Holtz spent years trying to reconcile his belief that Jesus Christ’s death on the cross redeemed the entire world with the idea that millions of people — including millions who had never even heard of Jesus — were suffering forever in hell. “We do these somersaults to justify the monster god we believe in,” he said. “But confronting my own sinfulness, that’s when things started to topple for me.

Church members had also been unhappy with Internet posts about subjects like gay marriage and the mix of religion and patriotism, Holtz said, and the hell post was probably the last straw. Holtz and his family plan to move back to Tennessee, where he'll start a job and maybe plant a church. “So long as we believe there’s a dividing point in eternity, we’re going to think in terms of us and them,” he said. “But when you believe God has saved everyone, the point is, you’re saved. “Live like it.”

Making the right decision Dear Dr. Gott: This is a follow-up to your Q&A on cataracts that I read with interest. During the past two weeks, I had cataracts removed from both eyes and intraocular lenses implanted at the same time — with no waiting. I had two other lens choices, neither covered by Medicare. were DR. PETER Those lenses enGOTT abling me to see without glasses at all, at several thousand dollars. For about $600, I could have chosen lenses that would require glasses for reading only; however, the main issue was the fact that there is no waiting for lens implant after removal of cataracts. Dear Dr. Gott: I read your column advising surgery for cataracts. I was told several years ago that I would soon need cataract surgery. I’m a wimp and don’t want to even think about surgery! I Googled cataract eyedrops and found a supplier. I’ve been using the drops for several years, and my doctor no longer even mentions surgery to me. He just says “keep on eating those carrots.” Used in Russia and China, eyedrops are effective 80 percent of the time. The name of the product is Longevity Science’s Visual Ocuity. My husband had also been told that he needed the surgery, and he has also had great success with these

drops. They dissolve the fatty deposits on the lens, and these become “floaters,” which come out in the corner of the eye. I hope this can help people avoid surgery. It sure has helped us. Dear Readers: In response to the first reader, it’s extremely rewarding for me to put matters of eye health in the hands of a reputable, trusted ophthalmologist. After all, eyes are precious. We get only one pair. They’re not like bones that can break and heal following a slip-and-fall accident. The cataract-removal procedure takes less than a half-hour and after a brief recuperation period while the local anesthetic wears off. It’s as if a magic button were pushed and a person is able to see again. In response to the second reader, I must admit I was not familiar with Visual Ocuity lubricant eyedrops. From what I’ve since read, they contain 1 percent N-Acetylcarnosine, a time-released form of naturally occurring dipeptide L-carnosine. The product is reported to be an antioxidant and antiglycating nutrient that helps improve or dissolve cataracts, as well as assisting with dry eyes and other conditions. A 2008 study that appeared in the Royal Journal of Opthalmology could not find safety or efficacy in the product, however. Visual Ocuity is available in eyedrop or capsule form. Another information site indicated the product contains 1 percent glycerin and hydroxypropyl methylcellusose, sterile water, the NAC

listed above, boric acid, citric acid, potassium bicarbonate and purified benzyl alcohol as a preservative. And there you have it. I urge readers to speak with their eye specialists to be assured that any decision they make — whether it is surgical, the use of herbs, prescription or over-thecounter drugs or anything in between — be discussed before it is implemented. Dear Dr. Gott: In my mid40s, I started getting little red dots on my arms, legs and trunk. My doctor called them cherry angiomas. They are becoming quite numerous and are growing larger. Is this simply a cosmetic inconvenience or something significant? Dear Reader: A cherry angioma is a benign growth composed of small dilated blood vessels that appears as a smooth red skin lesion — thus the name. On rare occasions, a dark brown/black color may be present, giving the potential appearance of a malignant melanoma. Treatment is recommended only when the lesions are undesirable from a cosmetic point of view. Options can include cryotherapy, curettage and electrodesiccation or shave excision. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet.” His website is www.AskDrGottMD.com.

There was a sizable entry to my Christmas competition with, surprisingly, nearly as many by snail mail as by email. Everyone who got the first two questions right is listed on my Web site, www.phillipalderbridge.com. But the best entry came from Kathy Marnell, Albuquerque, N.M., who had only one bidding answer wrong. Tied for second were John Euler, Benton Harbor, Mich., and Bruce Perry, Dieppe, New Brunswick. In the last two columns, we looked at suit combinations with a single honor in one hand and two in the other. It was right twice to lead low toward the hand with two honors. Defenders also need to make maximum use of their honors, sometimes sacrificing them for the partner-

ship good. In today’s deal, how can the defenders defeat four spades after West leads the heart king? When South hears of spade support opposite, his hand is well worth the jump to game. To beat this contract, East must overtake with his heart ace. And before returning the heart two, East should cash his diamond ace. Then he leads his second heart, giving the defense three hearts and one diamond. If East doesn’t cash the diamond ace before returning his second heart, at trick three he can discard either an encouraging diamond jack or (worse) a discouraging club two. Each should get West to shift to a diamond for down one. Or — much more fun — East can ruff his partner’s

If for any reason you should have more responsibilities than usual dumped in your lap during coming months, it will only make you a stronger and more proficient person. Besides, the more assignments you have, the greater the benefits. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Any restrictive conditions you experience will stem from your own actions, not those of others. Loosen up and lighten up. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — When evaluating conditions, be realistic and don’t dwell solely on the negative if you hope to realize your goal. Those storm clouds ahead are likely to have silver linings. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Your expenditures are likely to be dominated by the company you keep, so if you don?t want to blow your wad, choose your companions wisely. High rollers will help you empty your wallet quickly. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — You know an objective may not come easy, but you still might not be prepared for the difficulty of achieving it. Be prepared to go that extra mile, just in case. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Be careful that you don’t become your greatest impediment. You’ll only have yourself to blame if you use methods, procedures or tactics that are selfdefeating. Look ahead and plan well. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If there is any chance that you are past due on an obligation to a friend, avoid embarrassment by calling your pal to set up some kind of repayment plan that both of you can live with. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — We are all judged by the company we keep, so you should be careful about whom you choose to associate with. If you want to look like a champ, select those who are above reproach. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Someone on whom you are depending to handle a critical task might let you down. Play it safe by keeping a close eye on this person’s work. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Should you run into one of your least favorite people at a social gathering, don’t let your feelings about this individual distract you from enjoying everyone else’s company. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Avoid any issue that is likely to cause some friction between you and your mate or a special someone. If you don’t, he or she will seize an opportunity to harp upon your shortcomings Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Criticizing the efforts of another won’t improve anything, it’ll only make this person angry. In fact, he or she might simply drop the job into your lap and let you do it your way. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you overextend yourself financially, you will run out of entertainment funds before the week is out. If you don’t mind being shut down that long, go ahead and live it up. Trying to patch up a broken romance? The Astro-Graph Matchmaker can help you understand what to do to make the relationship work.

Another wet day is anticipated across the Western half of the nation, while showers and thunderstorms develop in the East. A trough of low pressure will strengthen as it moves off the Rocky Mountains and into the Plains. The system will take a southeastward track, kicking up widespread scattered snow showers in the Northern Plains with rain showers reaching the Central and Southern Plains by evening. As the system moves southward it will pull moisture in from the Gulf of Mexico, creating favorable conditions for thunderstorm development. If storms develop they will be contained to the Lower Mississippi River Valley and Southeast. Expect rainfall totals between a half of an inch and an inch, with up to 2 inches in areas of thunderstorm development. Meanwhile, Out West, another trough of low pressure moves in from the Pacific Ocean, bringing heavy precipitation onshore with it. The Sierras will get another 6 to 8 inches of new snow, with up to 12 inches likely above 7,000 feet. Dangerous road conditions and road closures are likely, due to strong winds causing blowing snow and white-outs. Ridge gusts up to 95 mph are likely across high mountain passes. At lower levels across the West Coast, expect rainfall totals around an inch. Lighter snow showers will stretch into the Northern and Central Rockies, as well as the Cascades, with accumulation ranging from 2 to 4 inches.

DIY-challenged? Three easy tricks for floor to ceiling (ARA) - If you’re among the millions of American homeowners who’ve decided sprucing up the home you have is more cost-effective than moving into something newer or bigger, you may be looking for some easy ways to improve your living space. If you’re not a seasoned do-it-yourselfer, you could consider calling in the pros - but that would fly in the face of your efforts at frugality. Transforming a room from floor-toceiling isn’t as hard as it may sound, even if you’re DIY-challenged. The job can be simple if you start from the ground and work your way up with these easy DIY tasks:

Floors with flair Look down. What’s on the floor under your feet? Are you happy with what you see? If you’re living with stained carpet, shabby vinyl or hardwood that has seen better days, it’s time to make a change. If you were a DIY diva, you could refinish those hardwoods, lay some new carpet or rip out that vinyl with your bare hands. But if you’re a DIY newbie, you can change the look of your floor with a lot less effort and skill. Cover up crummy carpet with colorful area rugs and strategically arranged furnishings. Mask that vinyl that is so “last-decade” with easy-to-install, self-stick carpet tiles or vinyl tiles. Refinishing a hardwood floor may be beyond your skills, but virtually everyone can wield a paint brush and roller.

Simply paint tired wood floors in a neutral color - brown, tan, khaki or even white - to create a fresh-looking foundation for your room decor.

Walls that “wow” Painting is one of the easiest ways to freshen up a room, and painting walls really requires no special skills. Pick a new color you love - or simply freshen up the existing color. Hit the paint store and ask the staff there for some tips on how to make the job go smoothly. Wallpaper is another great way to revive a room’s look, but it’s traditionally considered a job requiring some sophisticated DIY skills. Until now, that is. Mural-maker MuralsYourWay.com now carries a line of wallpaper murals that is virtually DIY foolproof. SmartStick repositionable wall murals are backed with a patented adhesive that allows you to easily place the wallpaper on any flat surface (walls, windows, even doors), pull it down, reposition it, even move it to a different wall. The material does not rip or wrinkle and can even stand up to a trip through the washer and dryer. MuralsYourWay.com carries thousands of murals that can all be printed on SmartStick and customized to fit your wall exactly Wall murals and wall paper are great ways to dress up a room, and now it’s easier than ever to use this favorite technique of top designers.

Ceilings that snap When was the last time you looked up at your ceiling — for any reason other than to change a light bulb? It’s an area of room decor that often gets overlooked, but smart interior designers know ceilings have a big impact on how a room looks and feels.

pealing wall colors with unexpected ceiling hues. Or, if you prefer to play it safe, simply repaint the ceiling white - it’s one of the fastest, easiest ways to make a room feel bright and new.

For your purposes, a little color experimentation can probably go a long way. Fortunately, many paint stores and home imThis Weekend! provement warehouses Go online for interactive now offer free open house maps and brochures and directions. paint chips that suggest subtle pairings of ap-

You don’t need the DIY-skills of a home improvement show pro to upgrade your home and freshen your decor. You can get the job done with a few simple tricks and a weekend of elbow grease.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS The U.S. economy grew a little faster at the end of 2010 than the government had previously estimated, boosted by more inventory building and business investment in plants and equipment. But rising oil prices will likely limit growth this year. The economy, as measured by the gross domestic product, grew at an annual rate of 3.1 percent in the OctoberDecember quarter, the Commerce Department reported Friday. That represents an upward revision from last month’s 2.8 percent estimate for the same period. Companies have added jobs for 12 straight months, but the gains across the country have been California and uneven. Michigan, which each suffered some of the worst job losses during the recession, are adding jobs again. California last month had its single best month for job creation in more than two decades. Still, six states lost jobs from February 2010 through last month, including Kansas and New Jersey, states that weren’t considered troubled spots. Overall, 44 states added jobs in that stretch.

General Motors Co. will resume production at its assembly plant in Shreveport, La., one week after a massive earthquake and tsunami led to supply-chain problems that reached across the Pacific Ocean. Doug Ebey, head of the United Auto Workers local, said the 800 employees at the plant will resume their normal fourday work week on Monday. The plant operates one 10-hour shift per production day. Thomas M. Hoenig, the longest serving of the Federal Reserve’s 12 regional bank presidents, said he will retire on Oct. 1. Hoenig, who had headed the Fed’s Kansas City regional bank since 1991, has opposed the Fed’s efforts to boost the economy through an extended period of low interest rates and the purchase of billions of dollars in Treasury securities. Sallie Mae says it’s bringing back an option that lets students wait until after graduation to start repaying loans. The private student lender, formally known as SLM Corp., had done away with the deferred payment option loan during the credit crisis in 2009.
