A VISION FOR THE FUTURE
21st century program wins national recognition BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

Civic Park Apartment resident Noel Worth talks with Sam Foust, director of the Salisbury Housing Authority.
SALISBURY — The Rowan Salisbury School System’s 21st century learning program is getting national attention. The program was recently named an Apple Exemplary Program, a designation that recognizes exemplary examples of the use of Apple products in teaching and learning. “The selection of the Rowan-Salisbury schools 21st century program highlights the success that you guys are continously possessing and modeling,” Janice Adams, education development executive for Apple, said. The district is one of 40 in the nation to receive the honor. “We want to reconize programs that are viewed as innovative by other educators and this one definitely falls into that category,” Adams said. There are currently 38 21st century model classrooms in the school system, with at least one at every school. The classrooms contain iPod Touches, MacBooks, Promethean interactive boards, documents cameras, digital camera and video cameras. Teachers for the program are chosen through an application process. The school system’s website says those selected must “demonstrate a strong interest in integrating and differentiating their curriculum through the use of technology.”
Federal grant offers hope of West End renewal
Concealed handgun law moves closer to reality
BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY -— Sam Foust began thinking about how to improve Civic Park Apartments five years ago. A retired teacher and principal for Guilford County Schools, Foust wanted a second career and took a job with the Salisbury Housing Authority as a property manager. He spent time every day at Civic Park, a dilapidated, 72-unit public housing project in the city’s most distressed neighborhood, the West End. “It was very apparent this was our most needy spot,” said Foust, a former technical education and woodworking instructor. Initially, his idea was to give Civic Park a facelift to brighten things up. Now, only a year into his position as executive director for the housing authority, Foust has landed a $170,000 federal grant to plan the transformation of the West End, including bulldozing and rebuilding Civic Park Apartments. The award, a Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, puts the housing authority and city of Salisbury in the running for a grant of up to $30 million to implement the plan. “I was very impressed that somebody who had just taken over as a new

Foust’s vision for Civic Park and the West End would help city initiatives like gang prevention and support for at-risk youth, which have struggled with lack of funding, Kluttz said. “This could be the answer for those challenges we’ve had,” she said.

A state bill that would allow concealed handguns in restaurants and state parks took another step forward Tuesday. House Bill 111 passed the North Carolina on second reading Tuesday and must pass a third vote today before it is sent to the Senate. Rep. Fred Steen, R-Rowan, is a primary sponsor of the bill, which still gives restaurants the option to ban firearms on their own properties. The bill was amended to allow local governments to decide whether to bar concealed handguns from around playing fields and swimming pools where children compete. Speaking in favor of the bill before amendments were introduced, Rep. Mark Hilton, R-Catawba, and a primary sponsor of the legislation, said that since the state began allowing concealed carry in 1995, only three-tenths of 1 percent of permits have been revoked. “What we need to understand about concealedcarry permits, North Carolina permit holders have a 16-year track record of proving themselves safe and sober and law-abiding,” he said. Hilton said that since the law passed in 1995, violent crime has decreased 37.1 percent and the overall crime rate has dropped 27.7 percent. He said 40 states already allow concealed-carry permit holders to take their weapons into restaurants that sell alcohol — while still making

Elaine Schmiedeshoff, left, shares a moment with Ryan, a golden retriever who is being trained by Carolina Patriot Rovers to be a service dog for a veteran. The dog is named for Schmiedeshoff’s slain soldier son, Christopher Ryan Barton.
DOGS FROM 1a last September. McClamrock’s mother, Susan, heard of the Carolina Patriot Rovers program aimed at training and certifying veteran service dogs, and she “double-dared” the Purina company to support its mission. Purina Dog Chow selected McClamrock as one of three grandprize winners in its national “Double Dog Dare” contest and awarded the young Patriot Rovers program a check Tuesday for $25,000. “He is absolutely a special ani-
mal,” McClamrock said while holding Fleet Tuesday at the Star Dog Club, where he is being trained. “One of the things in losing a child is you never want them to be forgotten.” Every time Craven says Fleet’s name in the future — and you say a dog’s name many times a day — her son will be remembered. Susan McClamrock, her husband, Mark, and their daughterin-law and James’ widow, Shannah, spoke with Josh and Holly Craven Tuesday through the magic of a laptop computer using a Skype video feed. The couple watched the proceedings from Walter Reed hospital. “It means so much just to tell

Warren Fleming is a graduate of Davie County High School’s class of 1971. This was the first graduating class at Davie County High that was integrated. Warren is the son of the late James and Janet Fleming of North Cooleemee and the first of his family to march in Davie County’s integrated graduating program. Fleming was the first string tight end as a junior on the Davie High. Fleming said “Football isn’t about size and strength; it’s about having the heart to play the game.” Fleming was selected as the Most Improved Player at the Davie County Football 1971 Athletic Banquet Awards Ceremony.

Dogs are incredible animals whose mere presence can help reduce its owner’s blood pressure or even bring them out of depression. Bunn said golden retrievers in particular are natural work dogs and “followers,” bred for companionship. They are easily trained through repetition and learn faster than many other dogs. Even though Cantara’s program is in its infancy, “Right now, I’m getting a lot of good feelings out of it,” Bunn said. A veteran and Patriot Guard Rider, Cantara described retrievers as the hippies of the dog world — a peace, love and recycle breed. They have a calming influence on soldiers battling PTSD, he said, and just having a dog forces a veteran to be more social and interactive. Dogs are good icebreakers. Purina also awarded Susan McClamrock $5,000 for her winning “Double Dog Dare” entry and a year’s worth of Purina Dog Chow for her family’s cocker spaniel, Lady. Carolina Patriot Rovers will receive a two-year’s supply of food for one dog. In addition, Purina is treating the McClamrock family to a concert later this year by The Band Perry. Before submitting her entry to Purina, Susan McClamrock said she had learned that training each veteran service dog costs about $3,000. They are presented at no cost to the veterans selected to receive one, so the non-profit effort needs private support. McClamrock said her own father was a veteran who was hospitalized with PTSD. “That’s why we’re so excited about this program,” she said. “I couldn’t be more thankful.” Even more meaningful for the McClamrocks is that whenever Fleet’s name is called out, it’s a tribute to James floating toward heaven.

him thanks for your service to the country,” Susan said. Shannah McClamrock, 23, was able to leave her downtown Charlotte job with Wells Fargo for a brief time Tuesday to attend the Purina check presentation. She called the Patriot Rovers program “awesome.” “I really hope he (Fleet) helps him,” Shannah said. David Cantara’s Patriot Rovers initiative started in August, and it has slowly been training rescued golden retrievers as both therapy dogs, for veterans dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder, and service dogs, for veterans wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan. The rescued golden retrievers usually are named for fallen sol-
diers or military groups such as infantries. On hand for the Purina happening Tuesday were Ryan, named for Christopher Ryan Barton, who was killed May 24, 2010, in Afghanistan; Noah, named for Noah M. Pier, a Marine killed Feb. 16, 2010, in Afghanistan; Wyatt, named for Christopher Wyatt McCullough, an Iraqi veteran who died in October, and is buried at the Salisbury National Cemetery; Ivy, named for the 4th Infantry Division; and Deuce, named for the 22nd Infantry. “It’s about saving dogs and helping soldiers,” Cantera said, describing “Rovers” as a healing mission. John Leavelle, who did two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, benefited from the Patriot Rovers’ first graduate — a retriever named Daisy. Leavelle said Tuesday he can’t envision his life now without Daisy. He received her from the program last November. “She’s my buddy,” he said. Elaine Schmiedeshoff, mother of Christopher Ryan Barton, attended the Purina festivities Tuesday and enjoyed meeting Ryan, the 13-month-old retriever Bunn is training as a service dog. Close to being certified, Ryan was rescued from a situation where his previous owner had been keeping him tied up in a 10by-10-foot pen. “He’s a lucky dog,” Bunn said of Ryan’s getting a second chance. As for Fleet, “he has some work to do,” Bunn acknowledged. “They (retrievers) need to be nurtured.” Bunn tries to get the dogs accustomed to hospital environments and negotiating things such as automatic doors and elevators or being around wheelchairs and ventilators. They learn, of course, basic commands such as heel, sit and come, and they go through agility tests so they are accomplished at dealing with obstacles. They also learn not to jump on people or “lick too much,” Bunn said.
HONOR
Fleming’s speed was once clocked at 9.9 in the 100 yard dash and he averaged over five yards per carry. In 1972, Fleming was recognized as one of the best running backs in the Military-Academy Football League. The league consisted of Randolph Macon, Greenbrier, Hargrave, Massanutten, Staunton, Fork Union and Fishburne. Fleming’s leadership on and off the field was recognized by the Augusta Military Academy’s coaches, administrators, cadet core and townsfolk of Waynesboro and Staunton, Va. He now hosts the annual Staunton African American Festival. After graduating from AMA, Fleming received football offers from institutions such as Livingstone College, Xavier University, University of Utah and BannerElk Junior College.

Phil Hardin, the school system’s technology director, said the classrooms act as a springboard with teachers serving as models to support staff development throughout their school. Adams said the program has demonstrated “visionary leadership” by getting both administrators and teachers on board. • • • Anthony Johnson, a technology facilitator at Overton Elementary School has also been selected as an Apple Distinguished Educator for the class of 2011. Adams said Johnson is one of 1,500 educators to receive the distinction worldwide. “Anthony is going to have a large fellowship or sisters and brothers as he continues to develop the use of technology in his school,” she said. Adams said he’ll serve as an advocate for technology use in the classroom and acts as an advisor to Apple to innovate and simplify the technology that Apple builds. • • • Hardin said the school’s technology initiatives have grown tremendously in the past five year. The number of handheld devices such as iPods jumped from 157 in 2005-06 to 4,430 in 2010-11, an increase of 2,722 percent. The majority of that growth can be attributed to the iPod touch program at North Rowan High School. The program began in 200809 when iPods were distributed to 200 freshman at North Rowan, 10 core subject area teacher, four resource teachers and administrators. The program expanded to sophomores in August 2009.

The House also approved an amendment introduced by Rep. David Guice, R-Brevard, that allows local governments to prohibit people from carrying guns into public parks and other recreational facilities regardless of the state legislation. Guice said he believes any place where children play is not the right place for guns. His amendment would let people lock their guns in their cars at parks if they don’t have time to drive home and lock them up before attending a child’s sporting event. “Across the country, I’ve seen parents — good people, who were not convicted of a criminal offense — lose control. ... and act in an inappro-
priate fashion,” Guice said. Some representatives objected to the amendment, saying it would keep responsible gun owners from protecting themselves or others. But Rep. Harry Warren, R-Rowan, who is co-sponsoring the bill, rose to support it. “This does not restrict anybody from taking a gun to one of the mentioned assemblies unless a local ordinance is adopted,” Warren said. “I think we should rely on the local people to decide what is appropriate and what’s not appropriate.” As currently written, state law allows local governments to prohibit concealed handguns in government buildings and properties, as well as public parks.
students might not have access to this kind of technology. The introduction of the wireless Internet bus at North Rowan has been another positive addition to the technology program, Hardin said. He said the program allows students to do work on the road and take notes at their destination. “Students are engaged from the time they leave the building to the time they return,” he said. Hardin said the increase in technology within the school system has gotten students excited about learning by keeping them engaged with handon activities. “If you tour those classrooms and talk to the kids they’ll tell you they’re having fun,” he said. “We know that it’s making a difference.” Contact reporter Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

LAW FROM 1a it illegal for anyone legally carrying a gun to have alcohol in his system — and that this bill would simply bring North Carolina and its 337,000 permit holders in line with most of the nation. Rep. Verla Insko, D-Orange, argued against the bill. She said that U.S. residents are “fearful” and that’s in part because of the proliferation of guns in this nation. Other countries with stricter gun laws have citizens who feel safer, she said. “Fewer guns means fewer deaths. More guns means more deaths,” she said.
The proposed bill strikes parks from that list. It also specifies that those with concealed-handgun permits can carry the weapon on any grounds or waters of a park within the state park system. A failed amendment introduced by Rep. Bill Faison, DCaswell/Orange, would have restricted that to parks where overnight camping is allowed. The House approved another amendment proposed by Rep. Leo Daughtry to strike from the bill language saying waiters and waitresses in restaurants that sell alcohol may ask patrons if they are carrying guns. Contact reporter Karissa Minn at 704-787-4222.

SALISBURY — As people cut back on non-essential items during the recession, the art business has suffered. But for Lynn Raker and members of the city’s Public Art Committee, a weak economy should not keep people from creating art. “We think art is essential for cultural and social health,” said Raker, a city planner who works with the Public Art Committee. To support art and the people who create it, the committee will host a symposium Sat-
The event is tied to the 2011 Sculpture Show, which will be installed Friday. The symposium, 16-piece sculpture show and related events are funded with private donations and tourism grants. The Public Art Committee won $10,000 from the city’s new tourism development authority and $5,000 from city and county tourism funds to expand events surrounding the Sculpture Show installation. “We couldn’t have done it without the new tourism board with the city,” said Barbara Perry, committee chairwoman.
The tourism dollars require the committee to market the event regionally and encourage people to spend the night in a local hotel. So the one-day Sculpture Show installation turned into a weekend of art-related activities, including a private reception Friday night, the symposium and a second sculpture show called “Tabletop Sculptures” that begins Saturday at Waterworks. “By hosting the symposium, we also are encouraging our visiting sculptors who will be installing on Friday to stay longer in Salisbury,” Raker said in an email to the Post.
About half of the 16 exhibitors will stay overnight for the symposium. “Tabletop Sculptures” will features 24 smaller pieces — up to 3-feet in size — created by artists chosen for the 2011 Sculpture Show. Next weekend, the tabletop show moves from Waterworks to the Trolley Barn for the Artist Expo 2011. These smaller pieces, as well as the large outdoor sculptures, are for sale to the public through the Public Art Committee. Children will have their own hands-on sculpture event

Spin on track doesn’t end well Authorities say a 20-year-old took his 1996 Chevrolet Corvette for a spin Sunday on the Mooresville Dragway — without permission from track owners. And not only did the fun come to a crashing stop for Eli Scott Brandt, he was charged with trespassing, a Rowan County Sheriff’s Office report said. Responding to a vandalism call at the 1255 Wilkinson Road drag strip shortly after 7 p.m., Deputy A.C. Goodman pulled BRANDT up and saw a red Corvette on top of the guardrail at the finish line. Goodman found Brandt, of 1420 Goodnight Lake Road, had pulled into the dragway and asked Michael Teter, who was there collecting cans, if he could “take his car on the track and see what it could do,” the report said. Teter told Goodman he didn’t give him permission to be on the track, but Brandt took his car for a spin anyway. Brandt made one run on the track, and just as Brandt was approaching the finish line on his second pass, Teter said, he heard three loud “bangs,” turned and saw the Corvette on the guardrail. Brandt was charged with firstdegree trespassing and injury to real property. Members of his family were called to the dragway, and they took his car home.
RCCC touts response to student growth BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — Rowan-Cabarrus Community College officials highlighted the college’s response to growing enrollment numbers in the 2010 Annual Report, presented to the board of trustees on Monday. The college saw record-breaking enrollment in 2010, with the student body jumping by 16 percent in the spring and another 4.5 percent in the fall. The amount of federal financial aid distributed to students in 201011 increase 77.6 percent over the previous year to $15.1 million. More than 4,290 students received Pell Grants, a 38 percent increase. “We are really seeing an increase
in the socioeconomic needs of our students,” said Gaye McConnell, vice president in student services. Those increases prompted the college to focus its efforts on streamlining operations and enhancing student services. The college has ramped up its efforts to get students to register online using the WebAdvisor program. More than 5,200 students out of 7,000 registered through the system last fall, an increase of 905 percent from the previous fall. “You can see how much that has been embraced by our students,” McConnell said. The number of classes offered through alternative delivery methods such as distance learning have also increased to 1,058 this year, up from 236 in 2005-06.
The college has also added an associate’s of fire protection technology and machining to meet growing interests. “Students in those occupations can develop career pathways and get better jobs,” said Jeanie Moore, vice president of corporate and continuing education. “Our machining graduates are typically hired and placed in jobs before they even graduate.” School officials say they’ve also reached out to the community to provide additional resources for students. “Collaborative learning is our primary focus,” McConnel said. “We want to enhance and establish real world experiences for our stu-

Pit bull owner says she’ll advocate for the breed BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
Kimberly Hamilton disputes claims her pit bull terrorized her neighborhood and says she is now advocating for pit bulls and other dog breeds. Last week, a judge ordered Hamilton to pay court costs related to incidents that occurred in 2010 after authorities said her pit bull, Red, attacked another dog. In another incident, officials said Red charged at off-duty Deputy Richard Hadley while he was walking his dog. The deputy shot Red in the neck. The dog survived. In July, an appeal panel with the Rowan County Board of Health declared the dog potentially dangerous. Hamilton did not attend, though the meeting was held at her request. She said she never received notice. Hamilton said that every time Animal Control officers came to her
neighborhood, Red was in the house or in the fence in the backyard. She said a citation she received for violating the county’s leash law wasn’t for Red, but another dog she was caring for, a pit bull that belonged to her nephew. “I learned if you were in your front yard you still had to leash your dog,” Hamilton said. Hamilton said if Red attacked a neighbor’s pomeranian, she did not know about it. She also said Animal Control never approached her about quarantining Red. Animal Control Office Ann Frye fined Hamilton $200 for not having a doghouse and $500 for allowing Red to be outside the kennel when he broke through a fence. Since Hamilton didn’t agree with the citation and did not pay the fine, she was taken to court. District Court Judge Marshall Bickett ordered Hamilton to pay the $25 fine along with court fees and
attorney fees as well as $40 for subpoenas. Bickett found her guilty of not having her nephew’s dog on a leash. He dismissed the citation for not having a doghouse, saying it was not clearly spelled out in the ordinance, and granted a prayer for judgment continued for Red being out of the kennel. Hamilton said she wished things would’ve been handled better and her dog didn’t have to die. She believes someone poisoned him. Hamilton is looking into developing a website to educate people about pit bulls and other dog breeds. Pit bulls have a bad reputation, she said. “Any dog can be an aggressive breed,” Hamilton said. “A dog protects — that’s any dog. Any dog can bite, any dog can be aggressive.” Contact reporter Shavonne Potts at 704-797-4253.
SALISBURY — Salisbury’s exemption from a bill that restricts city-owned broadband networks like Fibrant was intact Monday night when the N.C. House approved the legislation. But the city could face a tougher fight in the N.C. Senate. Sen. Andrew Brock, R-Davie, said several senators expressed have reservations about full exemption for Salisbury and four other cities with broadband networks already up and running. The proposed law would prevent BROCK cities from offering broadband services at below cost or using funds from other city utilities. It also would require voter approval before cities borrow money to build or buy a broadband network. Brock said he doesn’t want to see Salisbury get hurt, but his top priority is the taxpayers who would end up footing the bill if Fibrant fails. “There are some headwinds,” Brock said. “There are some senators who are not too enthusiastic for giving the full exemption to ... all the cities.” Salisbury and other municipalities that won exemption in the House “will have some issues before final passage in the Senate,” he said. City officials, however, said they feel confident about maintaining their exemption in the Senate. “I’m not worried,” Assistant City Manager Doug Paris said. The amendment that protects Salisbury and other cities, which N.C. Rep. Harry Warren (R-Rowan) introduced, had broad support in a House committee where it was approved 26 to 1. Brock said he hasn’t yet studied the bill, which may not come up in the Judiciary I Committee for weeks. When he does, Brock said, he wants to know more about how Salisbury received the blessing of the N.C. Local Government Commission to launch Fibrant. “We are happy to provide Senator Brock with any documents he need to make sure he’s fully satisfied,” Paris said. While Brock said he has reservations about cities entering the broadband business and competing with incumbent providers, Salisbury can’t go back now. “I don’t like it, but I will support the city as much as I can to see they don’t get hurt,” he said. Brock said he’s concerned that

neys, Democrats and Republicans, and they will be picking apart bills word by word,” he said. Brock said senators are talking about the broadband sunset clause suggested by the Rowan County Tea Party, which would have the exemption for Salisbury and other cities expire after three to five years. He’s concerned that would be too short, not allowing the cities to fully establish their systems and pay off their debt. “For some of us that believe in free enterprise, we are put in a tough box,” Brock said. “We had cities that went out on a limb and we want to make sure we don’t saw off the limb. “I just wish, when they borrowed this money, they would have done it with a vote of the people.” Salisbury borrowed $30 million in bonds to build Fibrant without voter approval, which is legal unless the bill dubbed “Level Playing Field” becomes law.
FROM 3a
Warren’s amendment allows Salisbury to sell Fibrant in Spencer, East Spencer, Rockwell and Granite Quarry and wants to hear from those towns about their interest in Fibrant. The towns may not want Salisbury running lines for Fibrant if it means a utility subsidized by taxpayers will compete with private industry, he said. Salisbury officials said they expect an exemption but will continue to lobby senators, attend committee meetings and testify at public hearings. “We don’t take anything for granted,” Mayor Susan Kluttz said. “We will be on top of it.” The city will retain its new lobbyist, former Raleigh Mayor Tom Fetzer, throughout the Senate session. The city pays Fetzer $5,000 per month. The Senate Judiciary I Committee will give the bill “a good going over,” Brock said. “There are lots of attorneys Contact reporter Emily on that committee, good attor- Ford at 704-797-4264.

Juror in murder case cites harassment GASTONIA (AP) — A juror in the trial of a man convicted of killing a University of North Carolina Charlotte student says he’s being harassed. Mark Bradley Carver was convicted earlier this week in the 2008 death of 20-year-old Irina Yamolenko. The Gaston Gazette reports that juror Warren Newsom filed a report with Gastonia

police after his wife noticed a sign on a utility pole near their home that said someone other than Carver was responsible for the death and promising a fight for justice. Newsom said he also had received Facebook messages connected to the case. Police said they will investigate the reports. Threats or harassment of jurors is a felony.

The Vision 20/20 advisory board, made up of 36 faculty, staff and students, was also developed last year to provide feedback about issues ranging from campus security to the Rowan County bond issue. The annual report also includes information about the Rowan County bond referendum, initiatives at the N.C. Research Campus, community engagement and assessment of programs and resources.

and he stands under it as it falls. Not really useful tricks, but fun for him. Junior has one special trick, and previous to today it had never been witnessed by another human being. Laura Kerr was here and took his picture as he twirled a halter around and around while holding it in his teeth. A halter is made of heavy nylon and usually fits around a horse’s head. I’ve seen Junior swing one round and round for 20 minutes before, but this time he spun it really fast and raised his head to make different angles. The other horses stand around and watch, then get bored and walk away. They know he’s a ham. All this impresses me, and I hope you enjoyed it to. Then again, maybe it was just a slow day on the farm.

waits until she is petting the other horses. Then he walks up behind her and starts snoodling her neck. Junior is persistent, too. He doesn’t quit easily. Another trait he probably learned from me. No latch on any of the barn stall doors is safe with him around. He figures out how to open them, and I find the door standing open on my next trip to the barn. Junior will be standing at a safe distance, watching me with a twinkle in his eye. Then he will walk over and want to wrestle. I climb a ladder to get to the barn loft to give the horse hay. Most times, Junior waits until I have started up the ladder and then comes along and bumps my bottom with his nose. He waits until I have started to push the hay out of the loft

When my daughters were young and my stepkids (from one of my many marriages) were here, we raised baby Holsteins. Once they (the calves, not the kids) were big enough to eat grass, we turned them out in the barnyard. One calf in particular liked to play with the kids and ran around with them. They started playing soccer in the barnyard, and the calf ran among them as they kicked the ball. Occasionally, the calf would push the ball with his head. We all thought that was great fun. Finally, I had to sell the small cow to the place where some cows become hamburger, and the kids were mad at me for a long time. Junior is only a little over 2 years old. He is always playful, but sometimes gets into some serious trouble. Twice now, when lacking a better stage for his shenanigans, Junior has eaten part of my tractor seat. Once he bites through the upholstery, the cushioning looks like something good to eat. Junior finds out that it really doesn’t taste good, but by then he is having fun. I have to take the seat to Doby’s Upholstery to get it fixed again. Here are some more of his tricks. If a woman comes into the barnyard, he

unior is the nickname for the only male horse I have. He is a registered Arabian, and is surrounded by four females. Maybe that is why he feels the need to stand out. Junior’s real name is Fine Galaxy. I believe I’d go for a good nickname, too. Nobody knows why he affectionately is called Junior. Maybe another reason to do things to stand out. DAVID When JunFREEZE ior was born, he was immediately open to me and others who wanted to touch him. Sometimes little foals don’t like people, but Junior did from the start. During the first few days, when foals are their cutest, he really liked being around people. I started a bad habit, playing as if we were wrestling. I put my arms around Junior’s neck, and would act like I was wrestling him. That was really cute when he was small, but now that he is almost fully grown, it isn’t quite so cute. It seems like Junior is just like me, he still doesn’t want to admit that he is almost grown.

VISION FROM 1A
RALEIGH (AP) — A North Carolina legislative panel is backing a proposal to let business interests outnumber consumer advocates on the board that would run the marketplace designed to offer affordable health coverage to individuals and small businesses, The House Health and Human Services Committee on Tuesday approved a rewrite of legislation that creates a health benefit exchange, which would help those who now have the hardest time finding affordable private health insurance. Consumer advocates complain the Republicanwritten bill would give permanent oversight roles to big business, small business, insurers, hospitals, and doctors but just two places for people who might be covered by affordable insurance plans. Consumer groups say that’s a conflict of interest for the panel that will oversee how the new competitive marketplace takes shape.
Board yanks dentist’s license over Medicaid KING (AP) — A dentist in the Stokes County town of King is having his license yanked by a state panel because of a report that says he overbilled Medicaid to help fund an opulent lifestyle. The Winston-Salem Journal reported Tuesday that the state Board of Dental Examiners has ordered Sassan Bassiri to surrender his license by April 18. A report by board investigators claims that Bassiri sent false bills to Medicaid to help cover purchases including a house worth nearly $1 million and a condo in Myrtle Beach, S.C. The report claims Bassiri used incorrect Medicaid reimbursement codes about 19,000 times between 2003 and 2009. Bassiri’s lawyer says his client made mistakes and plans to repay Medicaid.
dents could do internships there?” “What if we built a park right in the middle and a walkway could tie it into the greenway on Brenner Avenue?” Foust will not take credit for winning the planning grant, one of 17 awarded in the country. Salisbury is the smallest city on the list, which includes Philadelphia, Baltimore and Buffalo. “This is a team effort,” he said, crediting the city’s planning department, architect Bill Burgin and Jeff Jahnke, housing authority technical services manager, for the success. Stogner Architecture will serve as the planning coordinator. After a year, the cities will submit their plans to HUD and compete for three to five implementation grants. To be competitive, the housing authority must have partners and come up with matching funds. Foust lists everyone he wants on the team — the VA Medical Center, Head Start, Smart Start, Rowan-Salisbury Schools, Livingstone College, the Salisbury Community Development Corporation, the West End neighborhood itself and more. Ideas include a park, services for veterans, a day-care center and educational opportunities, as well as modern, energy-efficient duplexes. Foust wants to split Civic Park into two 40-unit communities, one on the current site and another on land the grant would purchase. He envisions homes set back from the street with open floor plans and plenty of space for children to play outside. Each would have its own driveway. He also would like the housing authority or Community Development Corporation to buy the abandoned houses surrounding Civic Park, fix them up and sell them to graduates of the au-
thority’s Family Self-Sufficiency Program. For Foust, curb appeal is important. “I wanted it to look like a neighborhood, not a housing project,” he said. The finished neighborhoods might look like Carpenter’s Corner, a new public housing project at Old Concord Road and Shaver Street that replaced Lincoln Park Apartments. The city would build the new complex first and fill it with families from Civic Park, Foust said. Remaining families at Civic Park would move to open units in other facilities while the original project is demolished and rebuilt. Foust stressed that everyone would have a home during the process, and Kluttz said the city will proceed with caution and sensitivity, seeking input from the residents along the way. • • • Although Pine Hills Apartments also was built in 1953, Civic Park suffers from poor design and layout, Foust said. “It feels claustrophobic and crowded,” he said. Foust, who will celebrate his first anniversary Friday as leader of the housing authority, hadn’t officially taken the post last year when U.S. Rep. Mel Watt arrived at the office for a tour. Watt wanted to see public housing, so Foust drove the congressman around Salisbury’s projects. He saved Civic Park for last, hoping Watt would help him land a HOPE VI grant. Instead, Watt suggested Foust apply for a new grant program, Choice Neighborhoods, which requires collaboration with a variety of agencies and provides more meaningful change for an atrisk community. “It’s interesting, if it happens,” said Noel Worth, 23, who has lived in Civic Park for a year. A day-care center in the complex would be wonderful for her 2-year-old son Adrian, she said. Bethany Sloop said she’d heard bad things about Civic

The Civic Park Apartments are quadplexes on narrow streets with little parking. Park before she moved in two years ago with her four children, but she has been pleased. She said a new, large park sounded like the best idea, as well as more parking. “The parking here, when everyone is home from work, is horrible,” she said. Foust said he’s proud of how well Civic Park is maintained. The units are old but tidy, the street is free of litter, and the housing authority actually lost points on its grant application because the apartment interiors are in good shape.

FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — A North Carolina airman has recovered a cell phone that fell 1,000 feet from a military plane in like-new condition after tracking the device across several miles of rugged terrain. Air Force Staff Sgt. Ron Walker dropped his iPhone from a C130 while leaning out to check his plane’s position near the Luzon Drop Zone south of Aberdeen. After parachuting from the plane, the Combat Control School instructor headed back to the Pope Field campus, where a friend suggested that he try out his Find My iPhone application. Walker found the phone about six miles away and set out by four-wheeler to recover it. He said found the phone scratch-free and in perfect working condition.
and repaired and all appliances removed, cleaned and reinstalled between tenants. But Foust has a bigger vision for Civic Park, where better designed homes, educational services and connection to community assets could help lift people out of poverty. Even if the housing authority and city don’t win the big money from HUD, Foust said the year-long planning process will not go to waste. Parts of the plan could be implemented over time with other funds, he said. It would just take a lot longer. “We will still walk away

Making lowcalorie choices I
n last week’s article I outlined how beverages can contribute lots of calories to your overall diet. This week we will discuss how to make low-calorie choices in all the food groups, as well as various food preparation techniques that help control the number of calories in prepared foods. The balancing act Weight loss and weight management are both a balancing act: To lose weight, calories consumed must be fewer than calories used TOI and/ or increased physiDEGREE cal activity. To maintain weight calories consumed must be equal to calories used coupled with physical activity. To lose one pound, you have to consume 3,500 fewer calories than needed; if 500 fewer calories are consumed per day, you would lose one pound per week.

Some simple recipes for kale — ‘the new spinach’ B Y E MILY W ILDER

For The Salisbury Post
ale, a leafy green vegetable, seems to be popping up all over the food world. In fact, ABC’s “Modern Family” gave it a shout-out as “the new spinach” earlier this month. It’s no secret that the cabbage relative is packed full of healthy vitamins and minerals. One cooked cup of the superfood contains 5 grams of fiber essential to a healthy diet and only 36 calories. Each cup also boasts well over the recommended daily allowance of antioxidant-rich vitamins A, C, and K. Kale’s taste can be nutty, earthy, peppery, or bitter, and it does require a lot of chewing! When I was a child, my parents convinced me to enjoy kale by calling it green chewing gum. Kale grows best in cooler weather, making it one of the first fresh green items to appear at the spring Farmers Market. There are several different varieties of kale, each with its own flavor and texture. The darker and larger leaves have a bold taste and chewy texture, while smaller, lighter-colored leaves will be milder. David Correll, of Correll Farms, grows at least four varieties at his farm in Cleveland. He has basic curly types such as Winterbor and Blue Ridge (one of my favorites), but also grows Toscano, which has a longer extra-dark green leaf. Toscano is known as dinosaur kale, perhaps because of its blistered or savoyed leaf. This year, Correll planted a new variety called If you’re a food lover and a Salisbury Post blog follower, you’re surely familiar with Emily’s Green Kitchen, a community blog written by Emily Wilder. After a few years of maintaining a personal blog, Emily — who lives in Salisbury and works at Reynolda House Museum of American Art in WinsonSalem — jumped at the chance to reach a wider audience through the Post. Emily does, in fact, have a green kitchen — the color of jalapeno jelly, actually. But the “green” goes beyond that. Emily tries to choose local foods when possible and leans toward healthy, often vegetarian dishes. If she does eat meat, she chooses humanely raised and organic. Her focus is on unprocessed, real, whole foods. Emily grew up in Boone to parents who have been vegetarian for more than 30 years, and she was raised, she says, with a home-cooked vegetarian dinner almost every night until college. In 2008, after watching two documentary films — “King Corn” and “Food, Inc.” — she began to make food choices based on what she had learned.

Sautéed chicken sausage and kale makes a wonderful quick dinner. Beira, or Portuguese kale, which is similar to bok choy. (Be sure to check my Green Kitchen blog for a Traditional Portuguese Kale Soup recipe after I get my hands on that!) Kale takes about 12 weeks to reach maturity, so Correll Farms started seeds in a greenhouse at the end of January, and moved them outdoors around March 15. Five to six weeks later, just in time for the first Salisbury market on April 16, their kale leaves should be ready for harvest. If you are buying kale in the grocery store, choose leaves that are crisp and firm to get the freshest taste. Store kale, unwashed, in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. Salisbury grocery stores occasionally have locally grown, conventional kale. One thing to note however, kale is widely recognized as a member of the “dirty dozen” list of fruits and vegetables. When possible, it is best to purchase these as organic because the leaves are often sprayed directly with pesticides that cannot be removed simply by washing. If you buy organic from the grocery store, your kale will
most likely come from a cooler weather climate, such as Pennsylvania or California in the fall and summer, and Florida in the winter. Aside from its overachieving list of health benefits, kale is a versatile food that can be the featured ingredient of a recipe or incorporated as a flavor and nutrition supplement. The basic preparation for any type of kale leaves is to wash it and tear the leafy part from the stem. Then, tear into small pieces and steam for five to seven minutes, just until tender — if the leaves look slimy, it’s overcooked. I like to add a dash of rice vinegar or garlic powder for serving. Here are a few simple recipes to introduce you to my favorite leafy green vegetable.
Tamari and Sesame Kale Prepare leaves the same as for basic cooking. In a large sauté pan or wok, heat 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil and add 2-3 cloves of crushed fresh garlic. Heat on medium-high for about one minute, but don’t let the garlic brown. Add the kale leaves and saute 1-2 minutes. Add 2-3 tablespoons of tamari (or low-sodium soy sauce) to taste, and saute 1-2 more minutes. Add in a handful of sesame seeds and saute 1 more minute or until desired tenderness.
Kale Chips Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Tear the leafy part in to pieces, making sure to leave some water on the leaves. Place the leaves in a bag and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil
As one of the so-called ‘dirty dozen,’ kale should be washed thoroughly.

calorie sources The calories we consume are derived from three major energy sources in foods: fat, carbohydrates (starches & sugars) and protein. Alcohol is another source of calories and contains 7 calories per gram. Fats provide 9 calories per gram (olive, canola and sunflower oil). Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram. Carbohydrates come from two sources: sugars and starches. Protein also provides 4 calories per gram. Think about it this way: Every time you sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar in your coffee or on your cereal, you add 45 calories. When you choose a quarter-pound hamburger instead of the regular size, you double the calories from protein from 50 to 100 and fat from 90 to 180 calories. Let’s look at each food group to see how you can eat fewer calories by making low-calorie food and drink choices and use low-calorie cooking methods. Grains Use the Nutrition Facts label to select breads that are lower in calories. Choose plain rice instead of flavored rice that may have added fat and calories. Example: ½ cup of brown rice equals 110 calories while ½ cup of rice broccoli au gratin equals 270 calories. Choose plain oatmeal instead of flavored oatmeal (or choose low-sugar, flavored oatmeal). Leave out oil, butter and cheese. Keep pasta sauces simple… choose marinara sauce or regular spaghetti sauce rather than sauces made with butter, cream or cheese. Make lower-calorie substitutions for grains in recipes for dishes such as meatloaf or meatballs. Substitute 1⁄2 -cup oatmeal, 1 egg or 6 saltine crackers for 1 cup of dry breadcrumbs, and you will save 200-300 calories. You can reduce the fat in most recipes for baked goods to the next lowest level on the measuring cup. If reducing fat by one measure produces a very good product, then reduce it another measure the next time. You can do the same with sugar. Example: this works for recipes that use oil and sugar like pancakes, waffles and other quick breads. You can also replace some of the oil/fat in recipes with applesauce. Vegetables Since vegetables are naturally low in calories, vegetables are a great way to keep your calories low. Most vegetables have between 15 to 25 calories per 1⁄2 cup. Starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes, butterbeans, peas, and corn have more calories than other vegetables, but are still good choices for your weight loss/weight maintenance plan and have between 60-90 calories per 1/2 cup. Keep it simple… limit sauces, butter, oils or fried vegetables. Grill, steam, stir-fry or roast with just a little oil to keep the calories low. Or, eat them raw. Fruit Whole fresh fruit is a great low-calorie choice. A medium apple or medium pear has about 80 calories, 1⁄2 grapefruit has 40 calories and an orange has 60 calories. Most berries and melons have about 50 calories for a cup. Canned fruit with no added sugar also is a good choice. Most canned fruit has between 60 to 100 calories per cup. Canned fruit packed in water or juice is the best low-calorie choice. Avoid canned fruit packed in syrup. Dried fruit is a good choice, but be careful about the serving size. A quarter cup of raisins has the same number of calories as 1 cup of grapes and 1⁄2- cup of mixed, dried fruit has about 200 calories.

Emily Wilder prepares a pan of organic red and green kale for the oven to make a healthy alternative to chips. Wilder writes a food blog for the Salisbury Post called Emily’s Green Kitchen.
Chicken Sausage Sauté
FROM 8a
Prepare the leaves the same as for basic cooking. In a large sauté pan, begin cooking sliced chicken sausage (such as Applegate Farms Apple & Chicken). When the sides are browned and almost done cooking, add the kale leaves and sauté 5 more minutes until tender.
(about 2 teaspoons) and coarse salt. Shake the bag to coat all leaves well. Arrange the leaves in a single layer on cookie sheet. At this point, you can season as you like with other flavors — try garlic powder, red pepper flakes or fresh ground pepper, parmesan cheese, a sprinkle of soy sauce, nutritional yeast or cumin. Place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, shuffling once, until the leaves are dried and crispy. You will need to watch this carefully as it varies depending on the particular kale leaves and oven, and you do not want them to get dark brown. When the leaves have a paper-like crispy texture, remove and serve immediately. If the slightly bitter taste isn’t for you, crumble the dried leaves on top of popcorn or a baked potato for the nutritional benefit without the distinct taste.
Green Grilled Cheese Tear a few medium leaves, wash and dry them. Select your cheese and bread of choice for a regular grilled cheese sandwich. I highly recommend thinking extreme here: try whole wheat and muenster or rye and swiss. Butter one side of each slice of bread, place one in a heated pan, add cheese and kale (and tomato if you want), a few more pieces of cheese and top with the other piece of bread. Cook until cheese is melted and bread is browned. Serve with a side of kale chips
and tomato soup.

house, we have multiple cords to charge everything from cell phones and cameras to handheld game devices. I label the cords with tape and include the owner of the device (husband, son, etc.) and to what device the cord belongs. I have a label-maker, which makes them neat and easy to read. I wrap the label around the cord, and the sticky side adheres to itself. No more guessing or wanting to hide the cords. Wisconsin — Brenda, Pennsylvania • Cord labeling. In our
grab bags are a huge seller. In the past, we put small items in little paper bags and labeled them “Mystery Toy Bags.” Women began asking for them, so we started selling “Ladies’ Mystery Bags.” Then the men wanted them, so we sell “Men’s Mystery Bags,” too. They go for a quarter, and last year we sold 1,200 bags. People love them and buy them for party treats, gag gifts, stocking stuffers, whatever. — Mary,
One of my favorite recipes is potato-kale enchiladas. Instead of a greasy, cheese filled enchilada, I prepare them stuffed with steamed kale and mashed Yukon potatoes mixed with lime juice (this recipe is featured on my Green Kitchen blog). Kale is excellent added to quiche with fillings such as shiitake mushrooms and Swiss cheese. And, of course there is always the green smoothie. Kale can be added to a blended drink for a burst of raw flavor and healthy vitamins. A tip for enjoying your first green smoothie: freeze the leaves first and then add to berry, citrus, or banana based mixes. You will need a high-quality blender to puree the tougher leaves. Be creative! Kale can also be substituted for any recipe calling for greens (spinach, chard, mustard). Happy chewing!

Dairy Choose skim milk instead of whole milk. It is the lowest-calorie choice, and you still get the calcium you need. Choose lower-fat cheese. Choose a high-flavor cheese, such as sharp cheddar or feta, and only use a little. Low-fat or fat-free yogurt and cottage cheese are good choices. Use reduced-fat/fat-free sour cream, low-fat/fat-free yogurt instead of sour cream. Use evaporated skim milk instead of heavy cream and in place of regular evaporated milk. Use low-fat or fat-free cream cheese instead of regular cream cheese. Meat and bean group Reducing your meat consumption is another way to lower calories as well as being mindful of what a serving of meat is. A threeounce portion of chicken, beef, pork or fish is about the size of your palm or a deck of card. Most women need about 5 ounces a day; men need 6 ounces. Choose low-fat deli meats. Choose light-meat chicken, as well as lean beef and pork. Choose fish often. Try cooked dry beans as the main dish of the meal. Remove skin from chicken and trim all visible fat. Choose cooking techniques that allow fat to drip

GLOBAL COMPARISONS
Lessons for U.S. schools essons from PISA” sounds like a primer on building foundations for tall buildings, but it’s actually a new report about foundations of the educational kind. PISA is an acronym for Program for International Student Assessment. A project of the international Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, PISA assesses the test performance of 15-year-old students in dozens of countries every three years. When the most recent results came out late last year, the results weren’t surprising: U.S. students score in the middle of the pack in reading and science, below average in math. The more significant take-away is in the follow-up report by PISA Director Andreas Schleicher and Steven L. Paine, a McGrawHill vice president and former West Virginia state school superintendent. After studying the A-plus nations, the report from the McGraw-Hill Research Foundation focuses on these key differences between these systems and the U.S.: • Teacher status is a major problem here. “Teaching in the U.S. is unfortunately no longer a high-status occupation,” the report says. While there’s no magic formula for restoring the luster to this noble profession, other countries have done so “not just through pay, but by raising the status of teaching, offering real career prospects, and giving teachers responsibility as professionals and leaders of reform.” • High performing nations establish high standards applied to all students. This is particularly relevant as North Carolina contemplates changes in its testing regimen. Yet the authors acknowledge there’s no one-sizefits-all guide. Effective standards “range from defining broad educational goals up to formulating concise performance expectations in well-defined subject areas.” • Spending more doesn’t guarantee achieving more. Where the money is spent, however, makes a big difference. The United States “is one of only four OECD countries that appears to spend less money per student (based on teacher/student ratios) in its economically disadvantaged schools, while spending more in richer districts.” • Socio-economic differences have a powerful impact on U.S. results. The report says 17 percent of the variation in U.S. student performance can be attributed to a student’s socio-economic background, far higher than the average. “The United States does not have a more disadvantaged socio-economic student population than the OECD average country but the socio-economic differences that do exist among students in the U.S. translate into a particularly strong impact on student learning outcomes.” While the report covers a lot of ground, one conclusion stands out. The most urgent mission is to invest “in the preparation and development of high-quality teachers, while at the same time taking steps to elevate the status of the entire profession to a higher level of respect and regard.” You can view the full report at www.mcgraw-hillresearchfoundation.org.

Common sense
(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)
The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials. -- Chinese proverb
Moderately confused
while back we had our yearly visit from our exterminator. He said everything looked fine but suggested that we put a moisture barrier down under the house. He told us they would be glad to perform the service for $500. My husband thanked him and said we would let him know. After mulling the $500 price over in his head for a few days, my husband said, “You CATHY know, we ELLER can put down the moisture barrier ourselves and save $500.” Now at this point, I’ll tell you that he worked for the telephone company for many years, and crawling around under houses was something he did without a thought. I, however, worked in an office and only crawled under my desk to retrieve pen or paper. His plan was as follows, and I quote, “We’ll get a big roll of plastic and put it down at one end and you can just stay there and hold it. I”ll crawl to the other end of the house and pull it as I go and then we can unfold it. We can do this!” Well, that sounded simple enough to me, so I said, “To save $500, I'm in.” First he purchased the plastic and collected all the tools we would need. Then, we donned our “working under the house” uniforms which consisted of coveralls, knee pads and ball caps. We also had flashlights and, of course, I had my cell phone. I truly had flashbacks of Ralph and Alph from the TV show “Green Acres” ... we bore a strong resemblance. Finally, he handed me a stick. He explained it was to knock down the spider webs and kill the snakes. He instructed me to just “kinda wind the spider webs around the stick like I was making a cotton candy.” Needless to say, I handed the stick back to him and told him that he could “make cotton candy out of spiders webs.” He grinned and said, “Oh, don’t worry about it. You’ve got a ball cap on anyway.” That statement didn’t comfort me in the least, and I found myself pulling my ball cap down even tighter. And so we began ... I held the large roll of plastic and he pulled it to the otherend of the house. Then I fished my box cutter from my coverall pocket and cut the plastic. This is quite a feat when you are lying flat on your stomach under a house, and my legs were moving constantly to deter spiders and snakes! I did the military crawl, pulling my body with my arms and pushing with my toes as I crawled under the duct work. We rested every now and then to catch our breath. We actually laughed out loud a couple of times. I must confess, I prayed that neither of us had a heart attack or any other attack while we were under there ... I mean, what would people think? It took us nearly four hours to complete the job. I cannot tell you how tired we were, but it took us days to recover. We have had several requests to install moisture barriers, and we both told them that they couldn’t begin to pay us enough to do the job! But we saved $500. The exterminator visited recently again and told us that someone did a really good job installing the moisture barrier. That was a nice compliment, but I haven’t seen my cut of the $500 yet. I can't imagine how much we will save on our next project ... whatever it may be. • • • Cathy Cress Eller lives in Salisbury and is the author of three children’s books. Email: cceller08@gmail.com
This friend was a fighter Geraldine Ferraro was a gritty trailblazer OSTON — We became friends long after we had known each other as candidate and journalist. Long after the grit that Geraldine Ferraro showed facing down press and politicians had been transformed into the grit she showed facing multiple myeloma. I met Gerry in 1984 when we were being teased by rumors that Fritz Mondale might actually pick “a woman” for his running mate. Maybe even this congresswoman from Queens. I watched weeks later when he introduced her to America and I heard her say, “Vice President, it has such a nice ring to it.” On a remarkable night at the Democratic National Convention ELLEN I was one of the female journalGOODMAN ists who cornered the market on floor passes to be present and accountable when the first woman in history was voted onto a national ticket. Around me were women in tears, women passing out cigars that read “It’s a girl!’ — women who had simply never expected to live to see that day. An unprofessional wave of goose bumps went up my writing arm. It’s hard sometimes to remember what it was like back then when Gerry broke the barrier. Time has made it hard. Progress has made it hard. Sarah Palin has made it hard. That campaign, with its ups and downs, with its family traumas and personal attacks, was rough even for the woman who once ran for Congress on the slogan “Finally, a tough Democrat.” But here at last was a politician who talked about abortion and said, “If I were pregnant.” Here was a politician who talked about women’s rights as “our rights.” Here was a politician showing little girls what, yes, they too could do. As she said on a disappointing election night, “It hasn’t always been easy, but it’s been worth it for all of us.” Years later, we became part of a small group of women who met and talked about our next steps, about politics and children, clothes and the next generation. Gerry would sometimes say that these days when she made a phone call and left her name, women over 45 let out a gasp and women under 40 said, “How do you spell that?” How I hope our grandchildren understand what it was like for Gerry. And what she did for them. Gerry was savvy, street-smart, opinionated, just one wisecrack short of a wise guy. She was fiercely loyal to her beliefs and her party, to her friends and most of all to her family. She was loyal as well to her faith. If her church refused to believe that anyone could be a pro-

Former vice-presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro, shown here at a 1984 news conference, died Saturday of cancer. She was 75. choice Catholic, Gerry begged to differ. Although beg is not quite the word. She told us a story with relish about the day her priest ended mass by offering a blessing to everyone from “natural conception to natural death.” An outraged Ferraro stormed after him, demanding to know why he refused to bless her two grandchildren created by IVF. She delighted in reporting of his terrified retreat. Mama Grizzlies are not just found in Alaska. Over the past year, our meetings became phone calls and then emails. The emails were frank, though not self-pitying. Each trip to the hospital left her a little weaker but undiminished, as engaged as ever. I have never liked the way obituaries say someone “died after a long battle with cancer.” But it is true in Gerry’s case. She was a fighter. It was not in her nature to give up even when that meant painful procedures, one after another. Our friend Pat Schroeder says, “She made the unsinkable Molly Brown look like a wimp.” One afternoon we were all talking about spiritual life and afterlife. At one point, Gerry insisted that when she died, she would be reunited with her mother. “I don’t know how, but I believe it!” Even the skeptics among us hope she is right. “American history is about doors being opened,” she liked to say. The truth is that it’s about the people who push those doors open. My friend who died on Saturday was one of those people. “Not bad,” as she would put it, “for a housewife from Queens, huh?” Not bad at all, Gerry. • • • Ellen Goodman wrote a syndicated column for the Washington Post Writers Group from 1976 to 2010.

Middle East policies: Our hypocrisy equals oil Recent American concern for the tumult plaguing the Arab Middle East and its various populations illustrates hypocrisy. A fortunate part of our heritage is the opportunity for an education. Arab cultures were denied these benefits; they endured propaganda as their intellectual tool. Middle Eastern instability is area wide; its fear of democracy endangers our purchase of “black gold.” The Muslim Arab nations selling us oil are not democratic and have made little or no pretense of reform, whether civil or religious. The current Libyan incident is illustrative of Arab non-participation for reform; Gadhafi’s brutal power survived four generations of terror. Why the sudden concern for the Libyan people? Only Qatar offered four aircraft to support the no-fly zone while others in the Arab League, OPEC, etc., have begun restraining Western efforts, through a “carrot” of controlling potential oil supplies.

Always call the police Based on a recent experience, I want to advise anyone involved in an auto accident to call the police, no matter how minor the damage and no matter who the parties involved are. In January, another motorist backed into my car in a parking lot. Since he was a local businessman, I was sure he would do the right thing. The problem is he gave me incorrect insurance information and now refuses to talk to me or my insurance company. Since there is no police report, my only recourse is to take him to court or pay for the damage myself. Don’t get caught in a situation like mine. Always call the police! — Kathy Norris Salisbury

Rebels flee under onslaught from Gadhafi forces; world debates Libya’s future RAS LANOUF, Libya (AP) — Moammar Gadhafi’s forces hammered rebels with tanks and rockets, turning their rapid advance into a panicked retreat in an hourslong battle Tuesday. The fighting underscored the dilemma facing the U.S. and its allies in Libya: Rebels may be unable to oust Gadhafi militarily unless already contentious international airstrikes go even further in taking out his forces. Opposition fighters pleaded for strikes as they fled the hamlet of Bin Jawwad, where artillery shells crashed thunderously, raising plumes of smoke. No such strikes were launched during the fighting, and some rebels shouted, “Sarkozy, where are you?” — a reference to French President Nicolas Sarkozy, one of the strongest supporters of using air power against Gadhafi. World leaders meeting in London agreed that Gadhafi should step down but have yet to decide what additional pressure to put on him. “Gadhafi has lost the legitimacy to lead, so we believe he must go. We’re working with the international community to try to achieve that outcome,” U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told reporters after the talks concluded. German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said it “has to be made very clear to Gadhafi: His time is over.” But Germany and other countries have expressed reservations about the current military intervention in Libya, let alone expanding it.
Vietnam jails 4 for trafficking women to China HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — A court in southern Vietnam has sentenced four people to up to 10 years in prison for trafficking women to China. The state-run Thanh Nien newspaper says the four were convicted of selling 14 women to a ring headed by a Vietnamese woman living in China. Wednesday’s report says the women were forced to marry Chinese men. The four were given jail sentences ranging from four to 10 years at a oneday trial Tuesday in southern Tay Ninh province. Court officials were not available for comment. According to the report, the ring operated from 2009 until it was uncovered last May, and received 5,000 Chinese Yuan ($760) for each smuggled woman.
House GOP leader rules out stopgap spending bill to buy negotiating time WASHINGTON (AP) — The No. 2 Republican in the House said Tuesday that the chamber won’t pass another short-term federal funding bill to avert a government shutdown if talks between the GOP and the White House fail to produce a 2011 spending agreement by an April 8 deadline. Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia said “time is up” and that it’s up to Democrats controlling the White House and the Senate to offer significant spending cuts as part of legislation to fund the government for the rest of the budget year. “We’re going to need to see a deal struck where our members can go home and tell their constituents that we’re doing what we said we would do,” Cantor said. Cantor’s remarks to reporters suggest that Republicans could advance a stopgap bill if an agreement is struck between Democrats and the White House that would need time to draft into legislation and pass through CANTOR House and Senate. Talks have mostly broken down, however, and the combatants are instead casting blame in a daily back-and-forth public relations battle. Democrats say that GOP leaders, fearing a tea-party rebellion, have pulled back from a near-agreement on an overall figure for spending cuts that would slash President Barack Obama’s budget requests for the current year by $70 billion or more.
Victims executed, set on fire in attack that ends when Iraqi gunmen blow themselves up BAGHDAD (AP) — Wearing military uniforms over explosives belts, gunmen held a local Iraqi government center hostage Tuesday in a grisly siege that ended with the deaths of at least 56 people, including three councilmen who were executed with gunshots to the head. The five-hour standoff in Tikrit, former dictator Saddam Hussein’s home town, ended only when the attackers blew themselves up in one of the bloodiest days in Iraq this year. First they set fire to the bodies of the three slain Salahuddin province councilmen in a brutal, defiant show of how insurgents still render Iraq unstable — even if it has so far escaped the

Wal-Mart women’s bias lawsuit hits possible block by Supreme Court justices WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court appears ready to block a massive sex discrimination lawsuit against Wal-Mart on behalf of up to 1.6 million women, and that could make it harder for other workers nationwide to bring class-action claims against large employers. The 10-year-old lawsuit, argued in lively exchanges at the court Tuesday, claims that Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world’s largest employer, favors men over women in pay and promotions. Billions of dollars are at stake if it is allowed to go forward. The case also could affect the future of other class-action lawsuits that pool modest individual claims into a single action that creates the potential for a large judgment and increases the pressure on businesses to settle. In Tuesday’s arguments, several justices suggested they were troubled by the case and lower court decisions against Bentonville, Ark.-based WalMart. Estimates of how many women could be included in the lawsuit run from 500,000 to 1.6 million. Justice Anthony Kennedy, often a key vote on the high court, said the women’s argument points in apparently conflicting directions.
US nuclear reactors required to cope with blackouts lasting a maximum 8 hours WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s a nightmarish scenario — a days-long blackout at a nuclear power plant leading to a radioactive leak. Though the odds of that happening are extremely remote, an Associated Press investigation has found that some U.S. plants are more vulnerable than others. Long before the nuclear emergency in Japan, U.S. regulators knew that a power failure lasting for days at an American nuclear plant, whatever the cause, could lead to a radioactive leak. Even so, they have only required the nation’s 104 nuclear reactors to develop plans for dealing with much shorter blackouts on the assumption that power would be restored quickly. In one simulation presented by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in 2009, it would take less than a day for radiation to escape from a reactor at a Pennsylvania nuclear power plant after an earthquake, flood or fire knocked out all electrical power and there was no way to keep the reactors cool after backup battery power ran out. That plant, the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station outside Lancaster, has reactors of the same older make and model as those releasing radiation at Japan’s Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, which is using other means to try to cool the reactors. And like Fukushima Dai-ichi, the Peach Bottom plant has enough battery power on site to power emergency cooling systems for eight hours. In Japan, that wasn’t enough time for power to be restored. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency and the Nuclear Energy Institute trade association, three of the six reactors at the
plant still can’t get power to operate the emergency cooling systems. Two were shut down at the time. In the sixth, the fuel was removed completely and put in the spent fuel pool when it was shut down for maintenance at the time of the disaster. A week after the March 11 earthquake, diesel generators started supplying power to two other two reactors, Units 5 and 6, the groups said. The risk of a blackout leading to core damage, while extremely remote, exists at all U.S. nuclear power plants, and some are more susceptible than others, according to an Associated Press investigation. While regulators say they have confidence that measures adopted in the U.S. will prevent or significantly delay a core from melting and threatening a radioactive release, the events in Japan raise questions about whether U.S. power plants are as prepared as they could and should be.
Syrian leader offers concessions as waves of dissent shake the country DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Facing an extraordinary wave of popular dissent, Syrian President Bashar Assad fired his Cabinet on Tuesday and promised to end widely despised emergency laws — concessions unlikely to appease protesters demanding sweeping reforms in one of the most hard-line nations in the Middle East. The overtures, while largely symbolic, are a moment of rare compromise in the Assad family’s 40 years of iron-fisted rule. They came as the government mobilized hundreds of thousands of supporters in rallies in the capital and elsewhere, in an effort to show it has wide popular backing. Nearly every aspect of Syrian society is monitored and controlled by the security forces, and the feared secret police crush even the smallest rumblings of opposition. Draconian laws have all but eradicated civil liberties and political freedoms. But with the protests that erupted on March 18, thousands of Syrians appear to have broken through a barrier of fear in this tightly controlled nation of 23 million. “Syria stands at a crossroads,” said Aktham Nuaisse, a leading human rights activist.
US Dept. of Education fines Virginia Tech $55,000 for response to 2007 shooting RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia Tech will have to pay the maximum $55,000 fine for violating federal law by waiting too long to notify students during the 2007 shooting rampage, the U.S. Department of Education announced Tuesday. Department officials said in a letter to the school that the sanction should have been greater for the school’s slow response to the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. The $55,000 fine was the most the department could levy for Tech’s two violations of the federal Clery Act, which requires timely reporting of crimes on campus. “While Virginia Tech’s violations warrant a fine far in excess of what is currently permissible under the statute, the Department’s fine authority is limited,” wrote Mary Gust, director of a department panel that dictated what punishment the school would receive for the violation. The university could have lost some of its $98 million in federal student aid. The department has never stripped a school of federal funding for such a violation. A university spokesman said Virginia Tech would appeal the decision.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. government is sending some robotic help to Japan to help regain control of the tsunami-damaged nuclear plant. A top Energy Department official told a Senate panel Tuesday that a shipment of “radiation hardened robotics” will be sent to Japan to assist in the crisis. A department spokeswoman said a robotic device from the Energy Department’s Idaho National Laboratory is being shipped to Japan along with several radiation-hardened cameras. Peter Lyons, an acting assistant energy secretary, said Japanese officials were “very, very interested” in learning more about the capabilities of U.S robots. The United States is also sending robot operators who would be used to train Japanese operators, Lyons said. Robots with electronics built to withstand radiation could presumably work in areas where radiation levels would harm or even kill a person. Workers at the stricken Fukushima Dai-ichi plant have been exposed to high levels of radiation and burned. Stephanie Mueller, a spokeswoman for the Energy Department, said remotecontrolled robotic machines have been used to conduct environmental cleanup and other activities in contaminated environments, although not at a compromised nuclear reactor such as the ones in Japan. The device being shipped to Japan is equipped to provide visuals, radiological surveys and mapping data in areas of the plant that are not accessible to humans due to potential elevated radiation levels that are above recommended safety guidelines. In addition to the robots, the Energy Department has sent about 40 employees and more than 17,000 pounds of equipment to Japan, Lyons said., Meanwhile, U.S. government regulators said they are reviewing a wide range of issues potentially affecting the 104 U.S. nuclear reactors, in-
cluding their ability to protect against natural disasters and terrorist attacks, respond to complete power blackouts and cope with accidents involving spent fuel. A top official with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said that a 90-day review, ordered by President Barack Obama, will include recommendations for possible changes to inspection procedures, licensing review and emergency communications. Bill Borchardt, the NRC’s executive director for operations, told the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Tuesday that U.S. nuclear plants continue to operate safely. Progress is being made at Japan’s damaged Fukushima nuclear plant, Borchardt said, but he would not speculate how long it will take to bring the plant under control. “I really can’t even hazard a guess on how long that will be,” he said. There are still “a lot of hurdles to overcome” at the Fukushima plant, but “things are headed in the right direction,” he added. Lyons, who also briefed the Senate energy panel Tuesday, said current information suggests that the Japanese plant is in a “slow recovery” from the accident, but added that long-term cooling of the reactor units and pools is essential. “A massive cleanup operation obviously remains,” he said. Lyons downplayed the risk of highly toxic plutonium found seeping into the soil outside the plant “All operating reactors, whether they start with any plutonium in the fuel or not build up plutonium in the course of operation. So finding plutonium that was derived from either the operating reactors or the spent fuel pools would not be regarded as a major surprise,” he said. Discovery of plutonium would be a concern if it were in significant levels, Lyons said, but so far reports indicate only trace amounts. “It’s not significant at this point,” he said.
9 dead after infection outbreak in Ala. hospitals MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Nine Alabama hospital patients who were treated with contaminated intravenous feeding bags have died and the maker has pulled the product off the market, state health officials said Tuesday. Ten more people treated with the bags that provide nutrients through IV tubes also were sickened by the outbreak of serratia marcescens bacteria, health officials said. However, officials have not definitively tied the deaths to the bacterial outbreak at six hospitals, State Health Officer Donald Williamson said. “There is nothing to suggest the deaths were directly related to the bacterial infection,” says Williamson. On March 16, two hospitals reported increased cases of serratia marcescens to the Alabama Department of Public Health. Officials linked the infection to TPN, a common nutritional supplement delivered by IV tubes. A single pharmacy, Birmingham-based Meds IV, made the bags. Williamson said the company has notified its customers of the con-
tamination and discontinued production. When Select Specialty Hospital in Birmingham learned one of its suppliers may have distributed bags containing the bacteria, it started investigating and stopped using the Meds IV product, said the hospital’s chief executive officer. “We are committed to high-quality patient care and are fully cooperating with government officials in their ongoing investigation of the supplier,” said Jeffrey Denney. Meds IV did not immediately return calls seeking comment. Besides Select Specialty, other hospitals hit with the outbreak were Baptist Princeton, Baptist Shelby, Medical West and Cooper Green in the Birmingham area and Baptist Prattville, north of Montgomery. The state health department, Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, and the Food and Drug Administration are investigating. Williamson said the risk of more patients being exposed to the bacteria has ended.

LANDIS — East Rowan j u n i o r E. Rowan 3 Bradley S. Rowan 1 R o b b i n s struck out 13 unlucky batters for the second straight start. Yet, Tuesday’s 3-1 NPC win at South Rowan wasn’t all that similar to Robbins’ 6-0 decision against West Rowan in his previous outing. “This one was completely different,” Robbins said. “More confidence. I went into this one with my head held high.” Confiis dence worth a milROBBINS lion dollars. A g a i n s t West, Robbins thought he could get it done. Against South, he knew he would. He walked five Falcons. Against the Raiders, he issued one free pass, and he threw fewer than 100 pitches in six overpowering, overwhelming innings. “That’s three games in a row, that Robbins has been really good,” East center fielder Will Sapp. “When a guy is throwing strikes like he was tonight, you like playing defense behind him.” In his last three starts, Robbins has fanned 34 and allowed one run. East (9-2, 5-0) played one of its sharper games — and needed it. “I’m not displeased at all,” East coach Brian Hightower said. “We got great pitching, and Sapp made one heck of a catch in right-center look easy because he’s so good.

Cavs look crisp in beating Mustangs BY DAVID SHAW dshaw@salisburypost.com
SPENCER — Someone must have filled North Rowan’s tank with N. Rowan 12 high-test Tuesday night. The Cavaliers collected N. Moore 2 a season-high 17 hits — including 13 in the first three innings — and routed visiting North Moore, 12-2. “I thought we stepped on the gas pedal early and didn’t come off it,” first-year coach Aaron Rimer said after NR (8-2, 6-2) moved into a tie for second place in the YVC. “That’s something we’ve been struggling with. Tonight we did it against a good team and a good pitcher.” They did it against a North Moore (8-3, 6-2) squad that boasted a team batting average just over .300 and a pitcher — senior righthander Clint Vaughn — who was previously unbeaten in four starts. “He had a decent fastball,” said Cavs’ infielder Wesley Barker, “but not much else.” Barker went 3-for-3 with a pair of doubles and boosted his batting average to .414. Teammate Matt Mauldin was 4-for-4 and knocked in four runs while leadoff batter Dakota Brown (3-for-5, 3 RBIs) ended the game early with sixth-inning single to rightcenter field. “We’ve been kind of tense all season,” said Mauldin, owner of a radiant .520 average. “There’s been a lot of expectations from us with the new coach and all. But the last two games we’ve been able to relax and just hit the ball.” North Rowan capitalized on a couple of first-inning errors and jumped to a 3-0 lead. Alex Morgan, Mauldin and Mason Jennings delivered run-scoring hits. An inning later it was 6-0, courtesy of Brown’s two-out, RI single and Mauldin’s two-run roller into right.

MOUNT ULLA — At the g a m e ’ s N. Iredell 7 most cruW. Rowan 6 cial point, W e s t Rowan hurler threw one of his final pitches to his North Iredell counterpart Clint Jordan with two strikes and the bases loaded. Swung on and missed. And then the winning run scored. West’s tough season re-
sumed Tuesday night after the toss went behind home plate, allowing Zack Davis to score from third with PARKER two out. It was another gut-wrencher and indicative of the rough-luck Falcons’ first month of the season. “That’s a new one,” said West coach Chad Parker after a 7-6 loss to North Iredell.
“It ends up being one little thing every night that turns out to be a big thing.” This time, it was inability to get a clutch hit. The Falcons couldn’t cash in on their opportunities, leaving 12 runners on base as Jordan tossed 126 pitches in six innings and Austin Hartness got the save, earning the Raiders their second 3A North Piedmont Conference game in two years. Steven Wetmore walked with one out in the seventh

North Rowan’s Matt Laurens, left, and Tyler Wyatt keep their eye on the flyball during the win over North Moore.
North Rowan’s Jake Smith (21) runs the bases against North Moore in Tuesday’s win.
NORTH FROM 1B of the third, the Cavus rallied for two more runs and an 8-1 lead. “They’re a good-hitting team,” said losing coach Brandon Reynolds. “We even threw our best pitcher at them. But we just never could get in the game.” Credit for that goes to winning pitcher Dusty Agner. The tall righthander navigated his way in and out of trouble all night, but never imploded. He did allow eight hits and walked five, but worked out of nearcatastrophic jams in the first and fifth innings. “I studied their information on mayapples and tried to size them up,” the senior said. “I felt good, but I’ve got to get my walks down. It’s just a free base.”
Agner — as well as Vaughn and North Moore reliever Jonathan Henley — struggled with the plate umpire’s floating-casino strike zone. He struck out only two batters — Tyler Wallace looking in the top of the first inning and Ethan Galloway swinging in the fourth. “I threw several (pitches) across the outside corner that I thought were right there,” Agner said. “Normally you get that call.” Otherwise Agner did a good job allowing the Mustangs to put the ball in play. He induced eight groundouts in six innings. “What he did,” said Reynolds, “was work around trouble. Any time we’d get something going and put the ball in play, their defense would make a nice play.” Rimer offered kind post-game words about his starting pitcher. “He has a tendency to walk two or three guys in one inning,” the coach
EAST FROM 1B South (6-5, 4-2) was crisp in the field and clutch on the mound. South hurlers Matt Miller and Daniel Mullis couldn’t challenge Robbins’ velocity, but they made big pitches at key moments. “Robbins threw a heck of a game — he could locate his fastball, and he hit that outside corner all night long,” said South catcher Eric Tyler. “But our pitchers kept us in it. That’s all you can ask.” South could have tied East for first place by winning. Instead, the Raiders dropped into a three-way tie for second with West Iredell and Carson. “Robbins attacked our hitters, filled up the (strike) zone, and East played its usual solid game,” South coach Thad Chrismon said. “We played solid defensively, and our pitchers did a great job. This was very reminiscent of a playoff game, and we were in it. We had a chance, so this shouldn’t be a devastating loss. This should make us better.” Three of Miller’s five walks were issued in the top of the first, and East got a run when Ashton Fleming — who was down in the count 0-2 — drew a walk with the bases full. South tied it in the bottom half when Tyler singled on a groundball up the middle, moved to second when Preston Penninger walked, and scored on Miller’s soft single to center. “They got a couple of early hits off breaking balls, Hightower said. “After that, it was mostly fastball after fastball, and Robbins was great
WEST FROM 1B and leadoff man Taylor Garcynzski singled up the middle to put the winning run on. Hartness then got Hunter Teeter to pop up on the infield for the second out. After Obsorne fell behind 0-2, he grounded out to shortstop to end the night. “Somebody’s got to step up and get a hit with men on base,” Parker said. “We’ve got to maximize the situations that we have in the game.” The first three innings were a stark contrast from a chaotic final four frames with West (2-12, 1-5) and North tied at 1. Chandler Jones gave the Falcons the lead on a double to deep right and North tied it when Jacob Speight scored on a wild pitch. The Falcons rallied from a 6-3 deficit in the sixth with Madison Osborne and Chandler Jones getting consecutive RBI singles. Osborne scored on a wild pitch with two outs to knot the game. “They could have hung their heads a couple times,” said North coach Denny Key of his players. “But they didn’t and I’m proud of them.”
said. “But I told him, ‘Keep your walks to five or less and we’ll win this game.’ I had that much confidence in him.” The Cavs sealed the deal with four runs against Henley in the bottom of the sixth. Mauldin and Hunter Feezor produced run-scoring singles before pinch-hitter Jamone Kelly coaxed a bases-loaded walk to make it 11-2. There were two away when Brown sliced a gameending gapper. “We all thought it would be closer than this,” said Barker. “But against Chatham Central we went up 3-0 and were down 6-3 the next inning. We’ve learned that once we get up we can’t take it easy.” • NOTES: The Cavs will visit leagueleading South Stanly on Friday night. Jon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST ...

tonight. The best I’ve ever seen him.” In the second, Sapp, starting to snap a slump, crushed a two-out triple to drive home Jared Mathis, and the Mustangs took a 2-1 lead. “There were a lot of times when we took Miller’s fastballs and chased curveballs,” Sapp said. “But I was sitting fastball on that pitch.” SAPP Robbins dominated after the first, and the Mustangs had a chance to blow it open in the fifth when Luke Thomas and Andy Austin started the inning with singles. That’s when Chrismon turned to Mullis to relieve Miller. It appeared a possible bunting situation for Nathan Fulbright, but he drove a run-scoring single to right field. Courtesy runner Evan FULBRIGHT Hiatt roared home from second for a 3-1 lead. Mullis did a terrific job getting out of that inning with a strikeout and a groundball that second baseman Parker Hubbard turned into a double play, but South never seriously threatened Robbins. Will Johnson (0.00 ERA) pitched the seventh and struck out three straight to keep the Mustangs alone on top in the league. “South’s pitchers were good, but this was a big game, with the stakes way up there,” Fulbright said. “We came into it with our heads screwed on right, and we played one of our best.”
After laboring through the fourth and fifth innings, Miller set down his fourth and fifth consecutive batters to start the seventh. Davis, Hartness and Luke Sloan then all coaxed walks to keep the inning alive. Miller, a junior with an active curveball, fought through five passed balls, four wild pitches and GARCYNZSKI two hit batters. “Not throwing enough strikes,” Miller summarized his night. North (4-4, 2-4) took the lead on Luke Sloan’s groundout to shortstop to plate Davis in the fourth. Jordan then helped his cause by driving in Hartness on the first pitch he saw for a 3-1 edge. West tied it with two in their side of the fourth, but North plat- JONES ed three more in the fifth thanks to a pair of errors on the West infield to start the inning. “If we do a better job taking care of the ball, [Miller’s] probably in good shape,” Parker said.
SALISBURY FROM 1B day. Bauk surrendered only a third inning single by Justin Cecil and issued a pair of walks while striking out six. “Good defense,” Bauk said. “All those guys made plays like I’ve never seen them make plays before. That’s all I’ve got to say.” The Dragons got just five runners on base the whole game. “Brian did a phenomenal job,” said Salisbury coach Scott Maddox. “You couldn’t ask for any better.” The only hit Salisbury got through five innings was a leadoff double by Phillip Tonseth in the third. That’s when Maddox had a suggestion for his hitters. “Coach told us to step up closer at the plate and we all listened to him,” Carmichael said. Carmichael was the first to pay heed when he belted an Andrews fastball into the trees beyond the fence in left center.Meanwhile, Bauk seemed to get stronger, retiring the CARMICHAEL side in order in the sixth, including a pair of strikeouts. “I always feel I can get used to the mound,” Bauk said. “I got comfortable with the mound and did what I do.” The Hornets’ Kyle Wolfe led off the top of the seventh with a bloop single and moved to second on Ian Swaim’s sacrifice. Tonseth then lined a single to right, scoring Wolfe with an insurance run. The Hornets weren’t done. Scott Vanderpoel dumped a single just behind first base. Carmichael advanced the runners with a grounder to Andrews. With first base open, Walser ordered an intentional walk, bringing Knox to the plate. “I said, ‘John, you’re a state championship quarterback, an all-conference point guard on our basketball team and they just walked a sophomore to get to you.’ ” Maddox said. “I told him, ‘ We need you to step up and make something happen for us.’ I wasn’t disappointed at all having him up at the plate.” Knox promptly punched a two-run single through the hole between first and second, making it a 4-0 game. The Dragons got a pair of runners on in the bottom of the seventh on a passed ball when Colby Bessette struck out and Zach Queen’s two-out walk. But Bauk got Jake Livengood on an infield pop fly to end the game.

Gomez HR lifts Braves Associated Press
The spring training roundup ... ATLANTA — Nick Blackburn shut down Atlanta's projected opening-day lineup during four scoreless innings but Mauro Gomez hit a two-run homer in the 10th inning to give the Braves a 4-2 win over the Minnesota Twins in an exhibition. Blackburn surrendered one hit and walked one. Helped by two double plays, the right-hander faced the minimum 12 batters. Blackburn won his third straight start while lowering his spring ERA to 1.73. He was 10-12 in 2010 with a 5.42 ERA, the worst of his three full seasons in the Twins' rotation. Trailing 2-0, the Braves scored two unearned runs off Matt Capps in the ninth before winning the game on Gomez's homer off former Atlanta pitcher Chuck James. Yankees 2, Tigers 1 TAMPA, Fla.— Alex Rodriguez drove in his 15th run of the exhibition season with a base-loaded walk and Freddy Garcia allowed one run in four innings for the Yankees. Reds 8, Indians 3 GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Bronson Arroyo shook off the effects of mononucleosis to pitch into the seventh inning for Cincinnati. Arroyo allowed six hits over six innings, including two solo homers by Shin-Soo Choo. That's nothing new. The Indians right fielder is a .500 (6 for 12) hitter in his career against Arroyo.

Players detail drug use SAN FRANCISCO — One by one, they walked down the aisle of Courtroom 10 and took a seat on the witness stand for their public day of reckoning. First Jason Giambi, the 2000 American League MVP. Then his brother Jeremy. And finally Marvin Benard, Barry Bonds' San Francisco Giants teammate. In the biggest mass confession to steroids use in baseball history, the trio testified Tuesday at Bonds' trial. They all said they purchased and used performance-enhancing drugs from Greg Anderson, the trainer who is in jail for his refusal to testify against Bonds. "I understood what it was. A steroid," Jeremy Giambi said. All three had told their stories to a grand jury in 2003, and many details of that testimony were published by the San Francisco Chronicle the following year. And the Mitchell Report in December 2007 detailed the rise of baseball's Steroids Era. But that was on paper. On Tuesday, the players were forced to answer questions in public from a federal prosecutor about how, when and why they took performance-enhancing drugs.

He ordered a set of dog tags made of white gold and diamonds, and all sorts of other rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces in various shades of gold, nearly all crammed with diamonds. And finally, according to a pair of Texas lawsuits, Bryant ponied up for tickets to Cowboys and Mavericks playoff games, and to see LeBron James play. He also acquired some cash, at least $35,000.
The NBA roundup ... CLEVELAND — As he left the arena, Cavaliers coach Byron Scott smiled and accepted fist bumps and congratulations from security guards lining the hallway. “Coach,” one of them said, “we’re going to talk about this one all summer.” And probably for many more. Cleveland got the win it wanted most. Take that, LeBron. Despite blowing a 23-point lead, the Cavs battled back to beat the Miami Heat 102-90 on Tuesday night, getting a small dose of satisfaction against James, the franchise’s biggest star who was making his second homecoming visit to Cleveland since bolting last summer. J.J. Hickson scored 21, Anthony Parker scored 20 and unsung center Ryan Hollins threw around his weight for the Cavs, who were embarrassed by the Heat 118-90 on Dec. 2 — a night when Cleveland fans unleashed pent-up hatred on James, the native son who scorned them. This time, it was James who left the floor beaten. He finished with 27 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds and had to endure another night of constant booing from fans who once cherished his every move but now view him as a bitter enemy for betraying them. James took the loss in stride, giving the Cavs credit they deserved. “Anytime we play anybody, we know we’re going to get the best out of them,” James said. “They came out and played extremely well. It was a good win for them.”

cleveland cavaliers' Baron davis celebrates a basket late in the fourth quarter. It was more than that for Cleveland. James’ departure was a crippling blow to a city that hasn’t celebrated a championship since 1964, and a region desperate for something positive to happen. For at least one night, Cleveland rocked again. Rockets 112, Nets 87 NEWARK, N.J. — Kyle Lowry had 16 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds and the Houston Rockets moved within two games of the final playoff berth in the Western Conference with a victory over the New Jersey Nets. Thunder 115, Warriors 114, OT OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Durant scored 39 points, Russell Westbrook hit the winning free throw with 11.4 seconds left in overtime and the Oklahoma City Thunder finished their longest homestand of the season with a victory against the Golden State Warriors. Stephen Curry led Golden State with 35 points.
ALL-AMERICANS NEW YORK — Seniors dominated The Associated Press All-America team for the first time in five years. Jimmer Fredette of BYU, Nolan Smith of Duke and JaJuan Johnson of Purdue, all seniors, were joined on the team by junior Kemba Walker of Connecticut and freshman Jared Sullinger of Ohio State. It's the most seniors since four made the 2006 team.

Skinner comes through for Hurricanes Associated Press
The NHL roundup ... WASHINGTON — Jeff Skinner scored a goal and converted his shootout attempt to lift Carolina to a 4-3 win against Washington. Skinner's goal tied the game at 2 less than two minutes into the third period, when his seemingly innocuous shot knuckled past goalie Semyon Varlamov. Jussi Jokinen also scored for the Hurricanes, and Tuomo Ruutu converted the deciding shootout attempt. Cam Ward had 38 saves. The Capitals did not convert a shootout chance, Ward stopped shots by Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom. Flyers 5, Penguins 2 PITTSBURGH — Ville Leino scored twice in the third period, and the Philadelphia Flyers rallied to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-2 on Tuesday night and stay atop the Eastern Conference. Philadelphia has led the conference and the Atlantic Division since Jan. 8. Goals by Jeff Carter, Scott Hartnell, and Claude Giroux and 25 saves by Sergei Bobrovsky prevented that for the Flyers, who won in regulation for the second time in seven games. Bruins 3, Blackhawks 0 BOSTON — Tim Thomas stopped 32
shots for his ninth shutout of the season, and Mark Recchi moved into 12th on the NHL's career points list as Boston beat Chicago. Blue Jackets 3, Panthers 2 COLUMBUS, Ohio — Maksim Mayorov had the lone goal in his first NHL shootout, and Columbus' Steve Mason stopped all three Florida attempts. Maple Leafs 4, Sabres 3 TORONTO — Mikhail Grabovski scored in the second period, rookie Nazem Kadri added two assists to help Toronto top Buffalo. Lightning 5, Senators 2 TAMPA, Fla. — Martin St. Louis and Dominic Moore both scored two goals to lead Tampa Bay past Ottawa. Canucks 3, Predators 1 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Alex Burrows scored twice in the third period to lead Vancouver over Nashville.

Eventually, Michigan forfeited its wins after it was revealed that some players, including star Chris Webber, had accepted money from a Michigan booster. “The guys that I had established something that Jay Williams continued to do 10 years later,” Krzyzewski said. Williams, a point guard for Duke from 1999-2002, was part of the radio interview. “I hated everything I felt Duke stood for,” Rose said in the documentary, describing his feelings as a 17-year-old high schooler. “Schools like Duke didn’t recruit players like me. I felt like they only recruited black players that were Uncle Toms.” Hill criticized Rose’s comment in a column that appeared on The New York Times website.
Associated Press
SKEEN FroM 1B Skeen has averaged 15.4 points and 7.4 rebounds for the Rams (28-11), and was probably never better than in their 71-61 shocker against Kansas in the Southwest Regional championship. He was 4 for 7 on 3-pointers, scored 26 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. He’s still trying to absorb all that has happened. “Making it to the Final Four, that’s just a surreal feeling,”
which made the NCAA tournament four of the last five seasons. "He brought a tremendous amount of energy, liveliness, hard work, and dedication to his position here at Vanderbilt, and I believe those attributes will make him a very successful head coach at Monmouth," Stallings said. The 42-year-old Rice also worked at Providence and Oregon. He was the head coach of the Bahamas national team from 2001-04. Rice played at North Carolina from 1988-91, helping the Tar Heels to a spot in the 1991 Final Four. He ranks third in assists on the school's career list. PITINO UPDATE LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The woman convicted of attempting to extort money from University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino has been ordered to report to prison in Florida next week. James Faller of U.S. Justice Watch, which is part of Karen Cunagin Sypher's legal team, said in an email Tuesday that Sypher is to report April 6 to the federal prison at Marianna, Fla.
Skeen said Tuesday. The Rams’ run through five schools from major conferences has made them a national curiosity, and the 5,000 or so fans that welcomed them home early Monday can’t stop praising them. Skeen had little trouble Tuesday getting some information from his professor in a Sociology class — his major — so he wouldn’t be too far behind when he returns from Houston. “Everybody kept interrupting me, giving me so much praise and pats on the back. It’s a nice feeling, but I’m

Wichita state's Garrett stutz (41) goes to the basket against Abe Lodwick (31). Sypher was sentenced in February to more than seven years in prison for extortion, lying to the FBI and retaliation against a witness. Prosecutors said she sought millions in cash, cars and a house from Pitino in 2009 to stay quiet about a tryst in a restaurant. GOUDELOCK CHARLESTON, S.C. — College of Charleston guard Andrew Goudelock has been picked for an all-star game and 3-point shootout as part of Final Four weekend in Houston.
ready to get to Houston so we can try to get these last two wins,” he said. When it comes to basketball, no one interrupts Skeen when he has something to say. Early in the season before the Rams played UCLA, Skeen stood up in the locker room and told his teammates he needed to get the ball more. He got it, too, scoring 23 points in an 89-85 victory. Smart has continued to make sure Skeen stays on the right track and sees the finished product. “He’s come a long way, a long way,”
Smart said. “He’s matured. He’s developed as a person. He’s done a really good job of putting himself in a position where he’s on track to graduate this spring. His attitude is one of humility and wanting to be coached and to get better.” That humility, though, is challenged by his expectations for this weekend. Skeen continues to believe the Rams can win the national championship. “It’s definitely doable,” he said. “But I felt like that when we played against USC.”
The NASCAR notebook ... CHARLOTTE — Rick Ware Racing terminated Jeffrey Earnhardt’s contract Tuesday, alleging the 21-year-old driver has been talking to other teams about a new ride. Team owner Rick Ware also alleged that Earnhardt, the grandson of the late seven-time NASCAR champion Dale Earnhardt, is trying to entice the team’s sponsor to leave with him. “We have been informed by several team owners that our driver and his management company has been shopping around for another team, alluding that sponsorship was coming with them,” Ware said in a statement. “It is disheartening that all the effort, time and money spent on Jeffrey have been for nothing, but we have been given no choice but to look for another driver.” Earnhardt was scheduled to drive the entire Truck Series schedule for Ware this season. He’s 10th in the series standings through three races, with a best finish of seventh at Daytona. Earnhardt later issued his own statement, claiming he only began looking for a new job after sponsor Fuel Doctor told Ware it is looking at other options. “The facts support that we did reach out to other race teams after the sponsor notified Rick Ware and my group that they were pursuing alternative marketing venues and after we were contacted by Rick Ware informing us that he would be unable to support me without the sponsor’s funding,” Earnhardt said. “To suggest anything other than these facts does not reflect the truth and is unfair to the fans and us.” BIFFLE CONTRACT CONCORD — Greg Biffle said Tuesday he's close to signing an extension with Roush Fenway Racing, and would be surprised if teammate Carl Edwards does not do the same. "We're getting really close, I would say it will be done in the next couple of weeks," Biffle said during an event with Roush teammates Matt Kenseth, David Ragan and NHRA driver John Force at Charlotte Motor Speedway's zMAX Dragway. Biffle said he's not had an overwhelming interest to test the free-agent market, in part because of the economy, but also because of how far Roush Fenway Racing has come from this time last year. The entire organization struggled through the first few months of last season, then turned it on in the second half of the year. Biffle won two races and finished sixth in the final Sprint Cup standings, while Edwards won the final two races of last year and finished fourth in points. A rough start to this season had Biffle ranked 31st in the standings two weeks ago, but two strong finishes have moved him 11 spots to 20th. "The way the business is today, and teams are really having to cut back, and sponsors are cutting their programs back ... I really didn't feel like it was a great market to go out and shop around," Biffle said. "The fact of the matter is, we have pretty good equipment right now. I've been there 13 years, hopefully I've got a tiny bit of seniority." Meanwhile, he believes Edwards will have the same approach. Edwards won the third race of the season, at Las Vegas, and is currently leading the Sprint Cup standings. "My hunch is yes, because the way our program is running right now," Biffle said when asked if he believed Edwards would sign a contract extension.

Clicking knees driving patient crazy Dear Dr. Gott: One year after having had both knees replaced, any pain I previously had is gone. Problem solved? No. A few weeks (after surgery) that turned into months, and now one year later, my knees (both) still click with every step I take. There is no pain involved, just annoyance. At times, it feels as if my new knees are rattling around in there. My wife and I enjoy walking in our development, DR. PETER but it is drivGOTT ing me nuts. I asked my doctor about it, and his comment is that all patients’ knees click to some extent. My question to you is, how can I eliminate or at least reduce this annoying problem? Dear Reader: While I don’t have a ball or X-ray vision, my first guess is that you are likely experiencing normal noises. This is because if your knee replacement were tightened too much, you would likely experience lost range of
motion and pain. By allowing the device some laxity, it will allow for a more normal range of motion without pain. Clicking and clunking noises are a normal result of this. Second, your bilateral implants are composed of metal and plastic that will separate slightly when you perform such activities as walking or squatting. This does not imply that anything went wrong during the procedure, that it was done incorrectly, or that anything is amiss. If you were to experience pain or knee deformity as well as clicking, it then may signify that the false knee is loosening excessively and may need attention. As a general rule, physical therapy is begun within hours of surgery. As long as you are not experiencing any pain and are not suffering any physical limitations, you should be good to go. I suggest that you sit down with your physician and demand answers to your questions. He or she should explain to you what is happening and why he or she thinks it is normal. If the doctor refuses, seek out another physician for a second opinion. Dear Dr. Gott: My 17-year-
old son has scoliosis. We have seen a specialist who had him wear a brace, but he couldn’t breathe with it on. I think it’s now time for surgery, but his primary-care doctor wants him to wait. What should we do and how long should we wait? Dear Reader: Children and teens with mild scoliosis are often monitored with X-rays periodically to determine whether the curvature worsens. In many instances, treatment isn’t necessary. A brace will not cure the condition, nor will it reverse the curvature, but it may prevent advancement. There may come the time when surgical intervention is appropriate. Symptoms may begin during growth spurts, commonly prior to puberty. Treatment is on a per-case basis. After growth has stopped, the risk of advancement of the scoliosis is low. Your son’s bones are likely still growing, making a brace more appropriate. There are two types available. The first and most common fits under the arms and around the rib cage, lower back and hips. The second and less popular because of its
bulkiness is a full-torso brace with flat bars, and stabilizers for the back of the head and chin. Either brace should be worn as much as possible in every 24-hour period, and children and teens are encouraged to stay active with exercise and sports. Perhaps he should return for a betterfitting brace that won’t impair his breathing. Your son’s doctors are the only ones capable of determining when surgery is warranted. Spinal fusion is not to be entered into lightly. Return to your son’s specialist to discuss what options are available to him. If you are dissatisfied, request a second opinion to a top-notch orthopedic surgeon who specializes in young-adult scoliosis. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

Rosie O’Donnell to move into Oprah Winfrey’s Chicago studio CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago studio where Oprah Winfrey tapes her soon-to-end talk show soon will be home to Rosie O’Donnell’s latest daytime television effort, which is set to debut on the Oprah Winfrey Network this fall, Harpo Studios announced Tuesday. The announcement ends speculation about what will be-
come of Winfrey’s Harpo Studios on Chicago’s West Side when “The Oprah Winfrey Show” ends taping this spring. Winfrey opened the studios in 1990. “I’m delighted to welcome Rosie to the studio I’ve called home for so many years,” Winfrey said in a statement. The network announced
last summer that O’Donnell would return to television with a one-hour talk show to air on OWN. The network said at the time that the show would be based in New York. “I can’t wait to do my show from Chicago,” O’Donnell said in a statement. “It’s a dream come true ... beyond the beyond.”
O’Donnell previously hosted “The Rosie O’Donnell Show” from 1996 to 2002, earning six daytime Emmy awards. O’Donnell also spent time on “The View.” Harpo Studios presidents Erik Logan and Sheri Salata called the announcement “an exciting new chapter” for the company.
Wednesday, March 30 Important changes are likely to take place for you business-wise and socially, in coming months. Your peers will envy the strong bonds you establish in each part of your life, and will try to emulate you. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Something close to your heart that you want badly but feel will never be yours could inch a bit closer. Whatever it is, this may be the first hope that it could be yours. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Just because something was too tough for another to acquire doesn’t mean that you are destined to fail as well. Believe that you can succeed in ways that they couldn’t, and you’ll win. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — An opening might arise that could give you a chance to smooth out a disagreement you had with a friend. Don’t let it go by without taking the opportunity to try to mend the relationship. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Listen attentively when in a conversation with someone whose ideas and thoughts you admire. You could learn about some new ways to achieve an objective you strongly desire. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — You should take care not to commit yourself to thinking that has proven to be unproductive. Start experimenting with some new techniques or methods to unlock a project that you’ve been barred from. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — A frustrating condition concerning your work is likely to transform in a way that could be extremely favorable to you. Hang in there, even if you don’t see hope right away. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Taking the time to get in touch with some old friends could prove to be very rewarding. Information that you share with chums will renew your camaraderie and greatly help everyone. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — A new item you purchase for your home is likely to provide you with long-lasting joy. Because you’ll not tire of it, it is destined to become a centerpiece. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — A new idea that you already feel strongly about is likely to take on even more significance. It will be enough to draw a number of supporters to your cause. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — It is likely that your inner feelings of self-worth will provide you with strong impetus to strive for even grander goals. Go ahead — load, lock and fire your best shot. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Your nobler qualities will be quite prominent and are likely to bring much admiration from your peers. You’ll find that when you give of yourself, they’ll automatically give back in return. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — There is little reason to be satisfied with your present earnings when you know you can do better. Take measures as soon as you can to find ways to improve your lot in life. Know where to look for romance and you’ll find it. The Astro-Graph Matchmaker instantly reveals which signs are romantically perfect for you. Mail $3 to AstroGraph, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 440920167. United FeatUre Syndicate

Do you finesse this way or that? BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
Sherlock Holmes said, “I never guess. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.” Bridge players try not to guess, but there are deals in which you just have to guess well to make your contract. This is one of them. How would you plan the play in three notrump and in four spades? Against either contract, West leads the club five, East winning with his ace and returning the jack. In the auction, North used a transfer bid, then jumped to three no-trump to indicate exactly five spades with game values. It was tempting for you to pass because both spades and no-trump might have won only nine tricks. But it was “normal” to correct to four spades. In three no-trump, you should duck the second club. West will overtake with his queen and return a club to your king, East discarding a heart. With only eight top tricks (five spades, two hearts and one club), you have to guess whether to play a diamond, which works perfectly when East has the ace, but is a disaster here; or to take the heart finesse. In four spades, you must win the second club and really guess well. If West has the diamond jack and East the heart queen, you can afford to draw one round of trumps, but then must play a diamond to dummy’s 10. In contrast, if those red-suit honors are
the other way around, you can draw trumps, take the winning heart finesse, and concede only one diamond and two clubs. There really is no way to know which route to take. Even Sherlock Holmes would have had to guess.

UConn crushes Blue Devils
West beats East paced by an excellent midfield effort by Armanda Lee. Rachel Hardy-Simpson scored East’s goal. West Coach Nick Brown was pleased with the game’s outcome. "I'm glad that Megan Mueller at East called and asked if we wanted to do a game for Relay for Life with them,” he said. “It was a fun experience and I thought both teams played hard all the way through. It's always a good thing when you have 5 different people score goals. I'm glad we pulled it out tonight" • NOTES: The Falcons are scheduled to travel to Concord to face eighth-ranked Jay M Robinson on Wednesday. East will travel to Hickory Ridge on Thursday.

Baylor and All-American Brittney Griner, who played in the Final Four last year in the 6-foot-8 center’s freshman season, will have to settle for the Big 12 regular season and tournament trophies the stillyoung Bears (34-3) already won this season. Texas A&M (31-5) had lost eight straight games against its Big 12 rival, including the previous three this season. The Aggies blew a ninepoint lead midway through the second half in Waco last month. They squandered a 120 start in the Big 12 championship game just more than three weeks ago. This time, coach Gary Blair’s team lead from startto-finish after Carter had a 3pointer, an assist and a jumper in the game’s first 2 minutes for a 7-0 lead. Carter finished with 22 points. “Tonight was our night, we didn’t back into it,” Blair said.

West Rowan’s Toni Lucente and her teammates wore pink and East purple in a Relay for Life match won by West.
Once again rural Storrs, Conn., is the center of the college basketball world as both the men’s and women’s teams are in the Final Four. It’s the third time in the past seven years that both programs have advanced this far with 2004 culminating in dual titles. Throw in the football team reaching the BCS as Big East champions for the first time and its the first time ever one school has been in all three events. “Take that!,” Auriemma said. BAYLOR DALLAS — Sydney Carter and Texas A&M finally beat Baylor — when it mattered most. The Aggies are going to the NCAA Final Four for the first time in school history after a 58-46 victory over the topseeded Lady Bears on Tuesday night in the Dallas Regional final.

PHILADELPHIA — Maya Moore is headed to the Final Four with a chance to pad perhaps the most impressive resume in the history of women’s college basketball with yet another championship. Connecticut’s latest star is already a four-time AllAmerican with 3,000 career points. Nice personal milestones for sure, but far from the biggest prize. To her and the rest of the Huskies it’s all about cutting down those nets in Indianapolis and locking up a third straight national title. Moore scored 28 points, including the 3,000th of her career, to lead top-seeded UConn to a 75-40 win Tuesday night against Duke and a fourth straight trip to the Final Four. “I don’t think about it right now,” Moore said about becoming the seventh Division I player to reach the 3,000point mark. “Of course it’s really exciting to be at a program where I’ve been able to flourish as an offensive player.” Coach Geno Auriemma wasn’t surprised by his star’s huge game. “We did talk in the locker room that this was going to be a big night for Maya,” Auriemma said. “You could just sense it. Too many games leading up to this where things didn’t click for what-
ever reason. She doesn’t let a lot of big games go by without going off in a couple of them.” With two more victories, the Huskies will match the record for consecutive NCAA titles set by Tennessee (199698) and equaled by UConn (2002-04). Next up for Auriemma’s current juggernaut is Notre Dame on Sunday in the national semifinals. The two Big East teams are plenty familiar with each other, having played three times this season already. UConn won all of those matchups including a 73-64 victory in the Big East tournament championship game. “It’s going to be rough,” Moore said. “We know each other so well and there are not a lot of surprises. It’s going to be a battle to grind it out. We’re representing well for our conference. It should be fun.” # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER The lower Mississippi Valley will see widespread thunderstorms on Wednesday as a piece of energy in the jet stream moves through the region. These storms will move eastward throughout the day, pushing into the Southeast by early afternoon. These storms are not expected to cause much trouble other than heavy rains and frequent lightning, but a few individual storms could become severe and cause wind damage. The Northwest will also see active weather on Wednesday as a Pacific storm slams into the region. Heavy rain and high elevation snow will push into Oregon early in the day, then the bulk of precipitation will shift further to the north, mainly focusing on Washington. The Olympic Peninsula will see some heavy snow accumulation in the high elevations, mostly above 5500 feet. Snow levels in the Cascades will be lower, around 3000 feet at the lowest. California will continue to see a warming trend on Wednesday as high pressure builds strongly into the eastern Pacific. Temperatures throughout the state will rise well above normal for many locations, and could reach to near record levels. Warming is expected to continue through the end of the week.
