Cabarrus among healthiest counties; Rowan 62nd BY AND

KARISSA MINN SCOTT JENKINS

kminn@salisburypost.com

Cabarrus County is among the healthiest counties in North Carolina, while Rowan ranks in the bottom half, according to a report released by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute. The annual report released Wednesday measures residents’

longevity and overall health, factoring in the rate of premature deaths, behaviors such as smoking and binge drinking, and social and economic circumstances such as poverty and education level. Cabarrus improved two spots from ninth-healthiest in 2010 to seventh statewide this year. Rowan held steady at No. 62 out of 100 North Carolina counties — a ranking the county’s health director, Leonard Wood, said he was “disappointed” to see.

“I think Rowan County can do better than that,” Wood said. “I think if more resources are put into promoting health, promoting education and dealing with these issues, things would come around.” He has sent an e-mail to county commissioners and the Board of Health about the data and is in the process of analyzing it. Wood said he hopes the local medical community, human services community and others will work together to figure out

what they can do to improve the county’s health. The report’s findings were not all negative for Rowan. Dari Caldwell, president of Rowan Regional Medical Center, said she and Wood were reviewing the report. Caldwell pointed out several areas in which Rowan had better numbers than Cabarrus — preventable hospital days (Cabarrus 79, Rowan 66), mammography screening (Cabarrus 65 percent, Rowan 67

percent) and excessive drinking (Cabarrus 11 percent, Rowan 10 percent). Wake County was ranked the healthiest county in North Carolina, while Columbus County ranked at the bottom. According to the statistics collected, 28 percent of adults in Rowan said they were smokers, compared

National Guard unit going back to Iraq 80 soldiers heading to Texas for training before deployment BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com

SALISBURY — Soldiers from Salisbury’s National Guard aviation unit are preparing to deploy to Iraq in the coming weeks. About 80 members of C Company, 1131st Aviation Regiment, will go to Fort Hood, Texas, where they will receive additional training before going overseas. The Salisbury-based aviation unit was last deployed on active duty from October 2004 to January 2006, also in Iraq. Known at that time as Company B of the 1-126th, they flew over 4,400 combat flight hours and returned home with no loss of aircraft or personnel. According to a press release issued by the N.C. National Guard’s public affairs office, 28 members of the unit have been overseas at least once. While in Iraq, C Company’s UH-60 “Blackhawk” helicopters will support “air assault and air movement operations,” according to the press release. Further details of the mission have not been announced. Here in Rowan County, C Company soldiers seem to be taking the deployment in stride. Specialist Shane Miller, of Kannapolis, is an avionics technician. Head wrestling coach at Erwin Middle School, Miller said he’ll miss his family, his friends and the kids he coaches. Otherwise, Miller said he is ready to do his duty on what will be his first deployment to Iraq. “Honestly, it doesn’t bother me. It’s what we signed up to do,” Miller said. Sgt. Don Money, an aircraft mechanic and crew chief, will be going overseas for the second time. This deployment, however, is different. “Last time, I was an infantry soldier. Now I’m in aviation,” he said. “Instead of walking through the cities, I’ll be flying over them.” In the days leading up to deployment, Money said he’s trying to concentrate on

wo students from Japan are visiting West Rowan High School this week to learn about agriculture in North Carolina. Joined by their principal at Tokyo Metropolitan Engei High School, Jun’ichiro Chidani, they are part of a group of Future Farmers of Japan hosted by three North Carolina schools. Four other students and a teacher are visiting Burns High in Cleveland County and Piedmont High in Union County. From last Saturday to this Saturday, students are staying with host families and shadowing members of the Future Farmers of America as they attend classes and other activities.

“This is a wonderful experience for our students to learn globally and talk about the differences between our school and schools in Japan,” said West Rowan Principal Jamie Durant. The talking is a challenge, but technology

and a shared love of farming are helping break down language barriers. West Rowan seniors Steven Wetmore and Beverly Hampton use Google’s online trans-

Brock wants state’s presidential primary in March, not May BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com

N.C. Sen.

Final House vote on NC health plan bill could come today RALEIGH (AP) — A fast-tracked package to close a $516 million projected gap in North Carolina’s state employee health insurance plan through mid-2013 moved closer to Gov. Beverly Perdue’s desk on Wednesday when it received tentative House approval. The 64-51 party-line vote followed nearly two hours of floor debate. The package, which calls for monthly premiums and reduced benefits, already had one Senate vote and two House committee votes this week. A final House vote should come today. One more Senate vote would be needed.

The measure would require more than 322,000 current state employees and teachers to pay a monthly premium for the first time that would range from $11 per month to $22 per month starting July 1, depending on the level of coverage. Retirees would face a similar premium if they receive the higher tier of coverage. The plan also would shift oversight from the Legislature to the State Treasurer’s Office and give a reconstituted trustee board more power to set rates and coverage options. Co-pays and deductibles also

would go up under the plan, while dependent care premiums would rise by 5.2 percent annually for the next two years. That means premiums for family coverage on the more generous plan, currently $580 per month, could grow to more than $660 per month by July 2012. Rep. Jerry Dockham, R-Davidson, who is shepherding the Senate bill, said he didn’t like the eroding coverage but believed the changes, especially the plan’s new oversight, would help the long-troubled plan turn the corner. “Do I like this bill? Not really. I don’t like the fact that we are rais-

ing premiums on our state employees,” Dockham told colleagues. But he added, “This is something we feel like we need to do ... I look forward to seeing a better managed plan in the State Treasurer’s Office.” Several Democratic members, many of whom represented areas with a high concentration of state workers, complained that the 663,000 members in the plan can’t take more financial pain given that they are likely facing a third consecutive year without pay raises for employees and teachers. “We are in effect giving them a gigantic pay cut,” said Rep. Jennifer

Weiss, D-Wake. Rep. Darren Jackson, D-Wake, warned that retirees would sue over the proposed monthly premium, saying they already won in the late 1990s in litigation when the state Supreme Court ordered $800 million in refunds to retirees because they had been promised verbally a taxfree pension. Retirees also were told they would receive health insurance without premiums, he said. Dockham and other Republicans said they believed the plan would withstand a lawsuit. The North Carolina Association of Educators opposes the plan.

In Iraq, it will be very different. “You’re pretty focused, and what little time off you do get, you try to relax as much as you can,” Money said. Money said the unit’s focus is positive. “We’re all excited to be doing our jobs,” he said.

“You spend a long time away, but you’re going over there to defend your country and do your job to the best of your ability.” Family and friends will honor C Company at a deployment ceremony to be held Saturday at the Koury Convention Center in Greensboro, starting at 3:30 p.m. It’s unclear just when the unit will return to Salisbury. Deployments typically average about a year, but could be extended if conditions on the ground warrant. Contact Hugh Fisher via the editor’s desk at 704-7974244.

PRIMARY

“Especially when we were losing tobacco, textiles and furniture in North Carolina, it would have been good to have input on what was going on,” Brock said. He said the earlier primary would increase voter involvement and turnout by giving them input before party nominations are all but decided. In addition, the cost of moving it would be outweighed by its economic impact, Brock said. “South Carolina has built its (January) primary into something well attended by presidential candidates,” he said. “We see candidates come to North Carolina to raise

money, and then they go to South Carolina to spend it.” Brock said North Carolina is now considered a battleground state and will be an at-

tractive place for campaigning, so those dollars could be spent here. Contact reporter Karissa Minn at 704-797-4222.

he chose the next month this time to avoid upsetting the Republican and Democratic national parties. He said he first got the idea to move the primary about a decade ago. A friend who works in elections told him people expect to talk to the next president in New Hampshire and Iowa — the states with the earliest presidential primary and caucus, respectively.

The occupants of the house escaped. The plane crashed about 5:45 p.m. on the north side of High Point near the city limits with Greensboro, local authorities said. The plane was flying from Wilmington to Winston-Salem but was diverted to Greensboro because of bad weather, said Kathleen Bergen, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration in Atlanta.

Man on moped accused of making threats to officers SALISBURY — A Salisbury man on a moped was arrested Tuesday night for threatening officers with the Granite Quarry-Faith Joint Police Force and Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, authorities said. Authorities came into contact with Brian Dale Jackson, 38, as they were investigating a suspicious person call at 160 Castle Drive in Salisbury. The report said Jackson, on a moped, was uncooperative with officers and was charged with resist, obstruct and delay. While officers were arresting him and placing him in the back of JACKSON a patrol car, a report says, Jackson kicked and fought with the officers, called them names, and threatened to kill the officers when he got out of jail. No one was injured during the incident. Jackson, of 1120 Zebulon Lane, was also charged with communicating threats to an officer and assault on an officer. Wednesday afternoon, he was in the Rowan County jail under a $2,000 secured bond.

clean water. But Rowan ranked worst in the state for physical environment, with 23 ozone pollution days. Cabarrus had 14, Wake had seven. The statewide average was one day. John Wear, executive director of the Center for the Environment at Catawba College, said ozone is formed from nitrogen oxide released in burning fossil fuels. Because the process is slow, chemical reaction doesn’t always create ozone where pollution is released. Rowan generally is downwind from vehicle pollution in Charlotte and a coal-burning plant near Lake Norman, Wear said. If the prevail-

ing winds shift direction, the county then is downwind from WinstonSalem, Greensboro and High Point. “In this area, even though we may not produce the majority of pollutants as a source — we still produce some — we get it because of the movement of that air,” he said. One of the big differences between Rowan and Cabarrus is in the number of primary care providers in each county. Rowan has one primary care doctor for every 1,487 residents, while Cabarrus has nearly twice as many, one primary care doctor for every 705 residents. “We do have a shortage of primary care providers, dental

Oak Park Retirement Community in Salisbury must love dogs. One dog in particular has touched their hearts: Damien Jo, the American pit bull terrier who survived being dragged down Jake Alexander Boulevard after somehow falling from the bed of his owner’s pickup. Damien spent a week at an animal hospital and is now recovering at home. Crystal Lambert — the woman who witnessed the incident and stopped Damien Jo’s owner, Robert Craver, from dragging Damien further — and several Oak Park residents have coordinated a dog walk and dog show to help pay the medical costs for Damien. Registration begins at 10 a.m. at Oak Park Retirement Community, 548 White Oaks Drive, and the dog walk and show will begin at 10:45 a.m. The cost is $5 to walk and $7 to take part in the dog show. Oak Park residents will be judging the show, which is open to the public. All proceeds will go to the Salisbury Animal Hospital to help with Carver’s vet bills.

though the rate at Chidani’s school is lower than Rowan’s. He also asked about how Chidani’s school is funded (federally, with the prin-

providers and general health care providers,” Wood said. “I think we offer a lot (for professionals), and this is a wonderful community... but whether we offer enough to draw in enough people, I don’t know.” The number of primary care providers in Cabarrus is higher than the number in Wake County, which has one for every 835 residents, and the statewide average of one provider for every 859 residents. Rowan has higher rates of teen births and sexually transmitted infections than those of Cabarrus County and the state. To see the entire report, log on to www.countyhealthrankings.org.

cipal controlling a portion) and evaluated (agricultural schools have different standards than others). Chidani said his high school, which is similar to a “magnet school” here, has 420 students who all study horticulture, food science or animal science. One of the biggest things they’re learning from the FFA, he said, is how to present and speak in front of a group. “In the 21st century, food and the environment are very important issues,” he said. “I told the FFJ students it’s important to express yourself ... I told them, ‘Look at the FFA.’ ” When asked about the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Chidani said even Tokyo felt the massive quake that struck more than 200 miles away.

“In my office, the bookshelf fell down and was broken,” he said. Students and parents were gathered at the school that day for a graduation ceremony, he said, and some had to stay overnight because electricity and transportation was disrupted. Now, most things are back to normal in Tokyo, but they are still having to conserve electricity and supplies. “They are needed at the area of the disaster,” Chidani said. The principal added he is not worried about nuclear radiation in Tokyo because there are no plants affected by the disaster there. Contact reporter Karissa Minn at 704-797-4222.

UNEXPLAINED CHILD DEATHS

A mystery to the White House at Fort Bragg Visit 1978 tree planting was a soul-stirring day he latest death, last month, of a child living in base housing at Fort Bragg raises more questions about what could have caused it. Army officials can’t say what it is but are pretty sure what it isn’t. That doesn’t and shouldn’t satisfy families on the sprawling Fayetteville base just as the military reportedly considers closing its investigation. Speculation has centered on drywall used in construction of new townhouses. Residents’ symptoms are consistent with illnesses associated with drywall imported from China that contains high amounts of sulfide. However, the civilian contractor for the subdivisions reportedly installed only U.S.-manufactured drywall. And follow-up tests by the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission on new housing where infant deaths occurred found no tainted material. Another possibility is hard-todetect Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Parents have been advised to take precautions. It’s little comfort that the infant mortality rate for base families is less than in Cumberland County, where most of the off-post Army dependents live. Twelve children have died on base from undetermined causes in four years. According to The News & Observer of Raleigh, three lived at different times in the same townhouse. Being proactive now in solving the mystery at Fort Bragg may avoid a repeat of what has happened at the Camp Lejeune Marine base near Jacksonville. Dependents who lived there decades ago blame tainted water for current physical ailments and birth defects in their children. An investigation continues. The Fort Bragg deaths can’t be discounted as merely a coincidence. Nor should environmental issues be ruled out, though nothing has turned up yet. Military families, who may not be able to afford moving to civilian housing, deserve answers.

Twelve children have died on base from undetermined causes in four years.

Moderately Confused

he American Lebanese League (A.L.L.) was organized in 1975 in Washington, D.C., as a political action committee to aid the foundering democracy of Lebanon by Dr. Elias Saadi and Paul Corey, two dedicated men who were residents of Ohio. Dr. Saadi is a renowned cardiologist from Youngstown, Ohio, and Paul Corey, a former effective lobbyist from Columbus, Ohio. I had the honor of attending the first meeting of the A.L.L. in Washington and was elected a trustee and a member of the board of directors, as well as having the distinction of namVICTOR ing the organization A.L.L., FARRAH with the idea of consolidating many Lebanese organizations into one powerful lobby to aid Lebanon. At the same time, we were hoping to serve U.S. interests in the Middle East. Dr. Saadi was elected chairman and Paul Corey president, and they were the force that generated the power of the organization in its early years. In early April 1978, I received a phone call from Washington from the State Department, inviting me and my wife to a Cedar-fromLebanon tree-planting ceremony and a meeting with President Carter. The gentleman requested our Social Security numbers and birth dates, to be used for security checks. Later, Dr. Saadi told me he and Paul Corey had planned this event to bring national attention to our group. The board and officers were all invited to be at the White House at 2:15 p.m. on April 28, 1978. Nioma and I were very excited to be invited to meet the president of the U.S. We arranged with Dr. Saadi and his wife to fly from Youngstown to Washington and arrived on the morning of April 28, a bright, sunny day and perfect for planting a cedar tree in the White House garden. Naturally, I was overwhelmed by the White House, my first visit, and to know we were to be on national TV that evening. We were ushered into the president’s office, and all of us were given a cordial introduction to the president. Dr. Saadi introduced me as the director from western Pennsylvania; and the president wanted to know the reason I appeared so much younger than he because our birthdays were on the same day and year: Oct. 1, 1924. I replied, “Mr. President, I

am merely a Chevrolet dealer, without the weight of the entire world on my shoulders.” Being the last person introduced, I took the opportunity to thank him for the peace effort that President Sadat of Egypt, Begin of Israel and he were negotiating. He said that he wished he could do more, but certain political pressures placed him in a position where he felt he would be a one-term president because of his support for a Palestinian homeland. He also explained that a secure and sovereign Lebanon, the only Christian country in the Middle East, was crucial to peace in that area. I was impressed by his sincere, friendly remarks; and in talking with him, I noticed he had aged since becoming the most dominant man in the free world. Soon, his aides appeared, and we were ushered into the White House garden, where I stood near him and Dr. Saadi and Paul Corey as the president began to shovel the dirt for the cedar planting. All of us were inspired by the profoundly moving speech given by Dr. Saadi. He talked about the American Lebanese, their many contributions to our new country and the importance of all Lebanese being Americans first, but Americans with a proud and ancient heritage from the Christian democracy of Lebanon. The affair was wonderful and joyous because we were able to establish a new friendship with a pleasant Lebanese gentleman, Clarence J. Shahid, from Charleston, S.C., and to be celebrities on national television that same evening. When I returned to my office in Pennsylvania, I was called by my congressman, who happened to be a sincere Jewish gentleman, and received his kind congratulations, as well as those from many others who called to offer their good wishes. The most significant result of that Washington meeting was the transfer from our ancient homeland of a tree, a cedar of Lebanon, which was mentioned in the Bible many times, to the most important residence in our “new” homeland. This symbol of hope to the Lebanese people brings our people of America and Lebanon together, working for peace and all that is good for the citizens of the world. April 28, 1978, was a memorable and beautiful day in my life, the day we honored two democracies — American and Lebanese. May God bless them always! • • • Victor S. Farrah lives in Salisbury.

An important lesson about trust L et us have a “time out” from the wars and upheavals in the Middle East to consider another war taking place in too many of our homes. That would be the war against our children and the one between parent and child. A report from the website “The Daily Beast” should get our attention. The story, written by Conchita Sarnoff and Lee Aitken, reveals how new documents the writers obtained show how hedge fund manager Jeffrey Epstein, who last year completed a 13-month sentence for soliciting prostitution from a minor, managed to “finesse the kinds of sex-crime allegations typically associated with a hefty prison sentence.” The Daily Beast found that, “despite overCAL whelming evidence of sex THOMAS crimes with dozens of young girls,” a “protracted campaign to undermine the prosecution” coupled with “fear and intimidation experienced by victims during pre-trial proceedings,” resulted in “a set of charges that became a virtual slap on the wrist.” A new film, not about hedge fund managers, but about online predators who scour the Internet preying on children, will help many parents (and teens if they’ll listen) become more aware of the threat they face. It’s called “Trust” and it is being released Friday in a small number of theaters. It is a film all parents should see with their teens or preteens. The film is rated R for rough language and sexual content, but it is real and the shock value is appropriate for the subject matter. Directed by David Schwimmer, “Trust” is the story of 14-year-old “Annie,” who makes friends with a “boy” named “Charlie.” Charlie, supposedly 16, texts Annie and begins his seduction by addressing the insecurities many teenage girls feel. After weeks of email and chat room exchanges, Charlie’s magnetism draws Annie into a face-to-face meeting. At first she is sickened that he is much older than he said, but by

now she is hooked by his flattery and even though she knows he is a liar, she wants to believe his lies. They have sex in a cheap hotel room. Annie’s girlfriend learns about this and tells the school principal. He calls the police. Officers tell the parents and the maelstrom begins. Annie hates her girlfriend and her parents. Even though Charlie has committed statutory rape and clearly has exploited her, Annie can’t tear herself away from him. When the FBI identifies several other young girls he has similarly abused, Annie at first doesn’t believe them until cruel reality sets in. The parents, who see themselves as protectors of their children, feel betrayed and suddenly powerless. Annie feels betrayed by her best friend. Trust is broken on several levels. The ending is not what you might expect, because there is no end to child exploitation, there’s only awareness and an effective defense. In an age where every cell phone is a computer with Internet access, there are no “parental controls” that can fully protect our children and grandchildren from sexual predators. In this cyber age, the old parental warnings not to take candy from strangers or get into a stranger’s car have limited effect, especially when pedophiles can slither directly into your child’s bedroom via the Internet. David Schwimmer is not new to this subject. He is a member of the board of directors of the Rape Treatment Center at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center, which says it has assisted more than 40,000 sexual assault victims, both children and adults. “Our hope,” says Schwimmer, “is that this movie starts a dialogue for parents and their children about Internet safety and how sometimes the Internet can be the ‘scary uncle’ that no one wants to acknowledge.” We’d better acknowledge it and “Trust” helps us do so. It is a powerful and necessary lesson for parents and children. Go see it. It isn’t entertainment. It’s real life. • • • Email Cal Thomas at tmseditors@ tribune.com.

From flightbum: May bring hope, will it bring change??? From dayspring: I haven’t been in a unit at (Civic Park) in a long time. They were very well built, some with cinderblock enterior walls covered in nice shiny plaster paint, hardwood floors. I can see the need for renovation after 50-some years ...

... Editorial: Fast track or dead end? From whereiswaldo: I agree that the high speed rail project deserves strong consideration and study. I have attended two events sponsored to educate the public. I have read articles, considered the cost/benefit analysis of the project and agree that it would be a good project for us ... if we were living in a better time. From 1mansview: This will improve both passenger rail and freight rail through our state. If we turn it down, it should be for a darn good reason, not just because there is a Democrat in the White House and we want to be against all federal programs until we get a Republican in the White House. Don’t be petty, be serious and effective as we move into the future.

... Cleveland looks to revitalize downtown From momof2boys: I’d love to see downtown Cleveland revitalized! I love to go into the barber shop and it’s one of the best places to take kids trick or treating. I’ve always said Cleveland needs a grocery store (which they now have) and it’d be nice to see an ice cream shop and a car wash, along with the “phased” items mentioned in the article. From southernmost point: Is there a “downtown” Cleveland? Some directional signs would be nice. Where do you turn off of 70 to access it?

... Schools tackle dropout increase From edde: I have been in education for over 20 years. I chose to be in education because my vocational education teacher encouraged me to become a teacher. After taking vocational education classes in high school, I realized not all people were cut out for college and that we needed to keep vocational education strong for those people. We need more classes. Not everyone will go to college. ... Many students need practical training in trades and businesses.

KANNAPOLIS — The first Relay For Life in Kannapolis will begin Friday at 7 p.m. at A.L. Brown High School. Teams of local residents, including cancer survivors, will walk the school’s track for 12 hours to raise funds for the American Cancer Society. Heather Reynolds, event chair, said it had taken four years to get a Relay For Life established in Kannapolis. Rowan and Cabarrus counties have their own events. Reynolds said that Kannapolis has enough people whose lives have been touched by cancer to make a hometown Relay For Life successful. And local residents have been quick to show their support. “We have 29 teams and 470 participants,” Reynolds said. And, as of Wednesday evening, donations had exceeded the pre-race goal of $20,000. “I am on cloud nine right now,” Reynolds said. “That just shows that everybody is excited about this.” Sixty-three cancer survivors will partici-

pate in the Kannapolis Relay For Life. They will be honored during the survivors’ lap, just after the 7 p.m. opening ceremonies. Relay For Life includes a variety of entertainment and fundraising activities, with proceeds going to benefit the American Cancer Society. Individual teams will participate in fundraising sales, and there will be live music, food and contests. But Reynolds said her favorite portion of the event is the luminary ceremony. Candles are lit to honor those who are battling cancer, and those who have died. Reynolds lost her father to cancer. Her aunt is a cancer survivor. Floyd Scott, captain of the team called Heart And Sole, owns Honey-Do Handyman Service in Kannapolis. This will be his first time participating in a Relay For Life event. “A lot of my customers have been touched by cancer,” Scott said.

Help create Culinary students coming to Piedmont Research Station for strawberry project a pinwheel garden at DSS on Friday The community is invited to celebrate happy, healthy childhoods by helping to plant a pinwheel garden Friday, the start of Child Abuse Prevention Month in North Carolina. At 10 a.m., more than 100 colorful pinwheels will be placed in planters and around the flagpole in front of the Rowan County Department of Social Services building, 1813 East Innes St. in Salisbury. “Prevent Child Abuse America and its state chapters have adopted the pinwheel as the symbol for happy, healthy childhoods,” wrote Social Services Director Sandra Wilkes in an e-mail to the Post. “Communities across North Carolina will plant pinwheel gardens on April 1, as a reminder that children deserve happy childhoods and that child abuse and neglect will not be tolerated.” Before planting the pinwheel garden, members of the Board of Social Services will speak and a children’s choir from Partners in Learning Day Care will sing. The garden will be on display throughout April. “We will ask some of the participants to take one of the pinwheels with them to their business or home and plant it,” said Tom Brewer, program administrator for children’s services, at this month’s Board of Social Services meeting. “That way, the message will not be just to the Department of Social Services but will be scattered throughout the community.”

Thief in Rockwell snags $8,000 worth of items The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the theft of nearly $8,000 worth of items from behind a building in the 8000 block of U.S. 52 in Rockwell. The theft was reported March 25 and happened sometime overnight. Jimmy Stallings of Peeler Road reported the items missing, including a $3,500 car trailer, a 2004 Honda all-terrain vehicle valued at $3,000, a bicycle and several tables and chairs. The Honda ATV and trailer have been entered into the FBI’s National Crime Information Center. Other break-ins and thefts are being investigated across the county: • Danny Walton of Rockwell reported a $2,500 heat pump was stolen between March 24 and 26 from a multi-family residence he owns on Goodman Drive in Salisbury. • Herman Peterson of Brook Valley Drive reported someone entered his home over the weekend and took two televisions, an iPad, $500 in jewelry and $100 cash. • A dishwasher, stove and oven were taken from a home on Amesbury Drive, valued at $1,000. The theft and break-in happened between March 15 and 25. • A pair of hedge clippers, pressure washer and chain saw were taken from a home on Hyde Lane, the owner reported to the sheriff’s office Sunday. • Tony Power of Kannapolis reported someone took a Glock .40 caliber handgun from his car while it was parked on Kenwood Avenue in Kannapolis between Feb. 1 and Feb. 2. The theft was reported to authorities Monday. The gun is valued at $500. • AT&T reported someone did $2,000 in damage to a cell phone tower on High Rock Road between Sunday and Monday, taking tin and copper bars valued at $320. • The Salisbury Police Department is investigating the theft of $500 in clothes and an $800 television from a home on Cedar Street between Dec. 24 and 25, 2010. The items were reported missing Tuesday. • The police department was notified that a home on Chesapeake Drive was broken into Tuesday between 7 a.m. and 5:40 p.m. Taken from the home was a couch, clothes washer and dryer, clothing and $100 cash. Total cost of items taken was $800.

SALISBURY — More than 30 culinary students from Johnson & Wales University will visit the Piedmont Research Station near Salisbury Friday as part of the N.C. Strawberry Project. The strawberry project aims to breed a better strawberry and connect chefs with farmers, ultimately boosting the state’s economy. Project coordinators expect to grow strawberry sales from $20.8 million to $26 million.

The project is a partnership between N.C. State University’s Plants for Human Health Institute at the N.C. Research Campus in Kannapolis and Johnson & Wales University in Charlotte. Students on Friday will learn about the research and science behind creating new food products. Project creators hope that educating culinary students on the benefits of using locally grown foods, including increased nutrition, freshness and flavor, will en-

courage them to supply their future kitchens from local farms. With more than 1,000 acres of land divided into four units of research (dairy, poultry, field crops and horticultural crops), the Piedmont Research Station is the site of much of Dr. Jeremy Pattison’s research for the N.C. Strawberry Project. Pattison is an N.C. State faculty member and strawberry breeder. Pattison wants expertise from the culinary industry to help determine

specific attributes — flavor, color, texture and size — to incorporate into his traditional strawberry breeding program. N.C. State expects the ultimate beneficiaries to be the consumer. By facilitating relationships between plant breeders, chefs, farmers and consumers, project coordinators hope more people become aware of and involved in the food production process.

The North Rowan High School show choir practices a number that will be performed at various local events.

North Rowan students gain confidence from show choir BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

SPENCER — Those passing by the auditorium at North Rowan High School on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons might not be sure what’s going on. There’s singing and dancing and lots of laughing. A peek inside might have you wondering what play they’re rehearsing for, but the students aren’t actors — they’re singers and dancers. The 13-member show choir, also known as the Glee Club, takes over the auditorium for practice four hours each week. Choral director Nancy Stone started the group last spring after her students began requesting it in response to the hit television show “Glee.” Fast foward a year and the group is looking foward to performing at several community events. There isn’t a specific theme to the show, but Stone said it’s jam-packed with music to please any ear. The set list includes Stevie Wonder’s “Sir Duke,” “Time Warp” from the “Rocky Horror Picture Show,” “Proud Mary,” “Jai Ho” from “Slumdog Millionaire” and Aretha Franklin’s “Chain of Fools.” “I tried to pick things that would appeal to a wide variety of people,” Stone said. “That’s one of the reasons I picked ‘Sir Duke,’ it spans generations.” Stone said the group is fortunate to have a choreographer, Debbie Hoffman, helping out this year. “Last year we didn’t have a choreographer, it was just me,” she said. Hoffman, who has done choreography for Piedmont Players and operated a dance studio in Salisbury for 40 years, began working with a handicapped student at North Rowan and decided to lend a hand with the show choir. “I wanted to give some of my time in some other capacity,” she said. “They needed a choreographer and I was willing to do it because I enjoy working with kids.” Hoffman called the group a a “very talented bunch of young people.”

of Glee Club brought her out of her shell. “I’ve gained confidence because when I first started high school I was really shy and then I joined show choir,” she said. “I’m nervous until I step on stage, but once the light hits me all the nerves go away.” Sophomore Erika Easley just joined the group a couple of weeks ago after seeing some of her friends dancing during class. “It just looked so fun,” she said. Senior C.J. Mowery, who plans to major in music and minor in theater, said being on stage gave him a sense of “euphoria.” “You learn so much from the arts that you can’t learn in any other class,” he said. “There is only so much you can learn from a book.”

“You would think there would maybe be some two left feet, but they have all worked very hard,” she said. Students say being part of the show choir has boosted their confidence level. Sophomore Jay Woodson said he’s always loved being on the stage performing, but being part of the group prepared him for his “Jungle Book” audition at the Meroney Theater. “Seeing the choreographer that we do here in Glee Club helped put me in the state of mind that the choreographer in the ‘Jungle Book’ Contact reporter Sarah Campbell at 704-797would be easier,” he said. Sophomore Britney Callahan said being part 7683.

Local teen runner-up in Alzheimer Foundation’s video contest The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) recently announced the winner and runnersup of its inaugural AFA Teens Video Competition. Margaret Yan of Orlando, Fla., was named the 2010 grand prize winner and received a $500 prize, and runners-up Samantha DeMaria, Carmel, Ind., and Melissa Phillips of Salisbury each received a $250 prize. Offered through the AFA Teens branch, the annual video competition is part of AFA’s effort to provide a creative outlet for teenagers coping with Alzheimer’s disease and to engage the younger generation in this important cause. The contest comes as the disease is increasingly taking centerstage: the incidence of the brain disorder is expected to escalate in line with aging baby boomers, and

its toll reverberates to multiple family members, including teens who may take on caregiving responsibilities. The competition asks teens to record a two-minute video that gives thoughtful consideration to “a moment in relation to Alzheimer’s disease when you learned something about your understanding of the disease, learned something about caregiving, or decided to become a community volunteer/activist.” For Phillips, 18, her video illustrates that Alzheimer’s disease should not be taken lightly. “It makes people lose their relatives long before they physically lose them, and it can be painful. I want people to know that it’s not a simple issue. A lot of people I know consider it humorous because all they know of it is that it causes

slight memory lapses in some, but in reality it can cause individuals to forget entire portions of their lives, family and eventually become violent. Basically, it’s no laughing matter, and that’s what I’d like people to take from this,” said Phillips, whose grandmother had the disease and passed away while Phillips was in middle school. All three winning videos have been posted to www.afateens.org. “These outstanding videos demonstrate the tremendous impact this disease has on young people,” said Eric J. Hall, AFA’s president and chief executive officer. “It’s important for teens coping with this disease to express their emotions, whether through a creative competition like this, talking to professionals or finding peer support networks.”

Teens are encouraged to express themselves on a bulletin board, seek support from AFA social workers and set up AFA Teens chapters in their community. According to a survey by the National Alliance for Caregiving and United Hospital Fund, more than 1 million children nationwide care for sick or disabled parents and grandparents; Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias were the most prevalent illnesses. As many as 5.1 million Americans currently have Alzheimer’s disease. For more information about AFA Teens, visit www.afateens. org.

Recently, I was informed that I had been chosen as a Junior Counselor for Tar Heel Girls State this coming summer. The excitement was unbelievable, between screaming and immediately logging on to Facebook to tell everyone. After the excitement died down, I began to think how great of an honor this position would be for me. I wondered who else would be allowed this opportunity alongside me and how great it was going to be to have the opportunity to give ANITA the delegates for this OVERSTREET year’s Girls State the amazing memories that they will always carry with them. I then thought back to the week that I spent on Catawba’s campus. It was the first week of summer, as well as my 17th birthday. To me this was an incredible time of the year, with the warm air, new people and a week of learning about government procedures. Looking back on this past summer and forward to the summer ahead, I cannot help but think about how much I have grown from the people I have met and the experiences in between. My summer started just as any other, packing in preparation to go to one of the many camps I would be attending. This was not just a camp though, it would help to show what kind of college I would want to attend, broaden my love for government and prove that all walks of life can coexist if they only have one or two things in common. The first day in our general meeting we had to sit with our “city.” All I could think was, “Wow, this is shaped a lot like Mars Hill (student council camp).” With speakers, girls being assigned to certain colors , cities or councils, it seemed like it would work similar, if not the same as Student Council camp. However, I was wrong. My house mother, counselor and junior counselors became kids again, playing games to teach us and celebrating the good times with us. My fellow delegates became like sisters, helping each other plan certain things, work on bills and get ready for the banquet at the end of the week. I was sitting in class today thinking about all of these great experiences and memories and how I would be a part of making that happen for the delegates this coming June. Without the opportunity to be a delegate last year, I would not have the opportunity placed before me now. Being a JC this summer I have the ability and responsibility to help mold the love of learning into something much more for the delegates for this upcoming summer. Anita Overstreet is a senior at East Rowan High School.

Gray Stone Day School dedicates new facility Now in its ninth year, Gray Stone Day School (GSDS) dedicated its new facility on Feb. 22 at a ceremony in the new gymnasium. The building is 56,000 square feet and cost around $7 million to build. On 18 acres of land donated by Pfeiffer University, the school is on campus at the end of a winding road. As the ceremony began, several area speakers offered welcoming words to the audience. There were speakers from the village of Misenheimer, Pfeiffer University and Gray Stone’s Board of Directors as well as Congressman Larry Kissell. “The building is dedicated to all Gray Stone students, past, present and future, for they are, as the capital campaign slogan states, the Spirit of the Future,” Helen Nance, chief administrative officer said in conclusion. Nance and H. Earl Singletary Jr., Gray Stone Board chair, cut the ribbon to finalize the ceremony. Charter schools receive no funding, neither state nor federal, to build a facility. The building is owned by Gray Stone Educational Foundation Inc. Design and construction of the facility is by John S. Clark Construction Co. of Mt. Airy. The building includes administrative offices, 11 classrooms, biology and chemistry labs, an art room and a gym with locker rooms. There is also a school store, concession stand, and an indoor pavilion area for students known as “The Commons at Gray Stone.” This common area is used by students for eating meals, gathering before and after school for conversations or meetings as well as for social events such as school spon-

sored dances. All during the day, instructors use the area for teaching opportunities such as group activities or independent study sessions. There is a traditional computer lab where classes are taught or students can take online classes. An independent computer lab also provides opportunities for students who need to work alone on a given project or in a small group and serves as a research resource. A Cisco teleconferencing facility is also available at the school where students can connect with individuals all over the world. The school has wireless connectivity throughout as well as Smartboards or 60-inch computer display screens in every classroom. The gymnasium has college-size basketball and volleyball courts as well as infrastructure for side court play in both sports. The gym also has seating for 600 with electronically controlled bleachers and a high quality audio system. The athletic area houses male and female locker rooms for physical education students as well as male and female locker rooms for varsity athletes. There is also a designated area for Gray Stone’s certified athletic trainer. A laundry room and coaches’ offices are located there as well. Located in front of the school is the 92,000-squarefoot soccer field. There are 260 parking spaces around the building as well as several areas for future gardens and picnic areas. The building has a burglar alarm system and state-of-the art surveillance cameras. Currently, GSDS has 315 students coming from seven counties: Stanly, Montgomery, Randolph, Rowan, Cabarrus, Davidson and Mecklenburg. For more information, visit www.graystoneday.org.

Catawba student and DCCC assistant teacher a ‘lifesaver’ it’s all about. I can’t believe that I get to do something I love this much for the rest of my life,” she said. She anticipates a December 2011 graduation from Catawba where she will earn a bachelor of arts degree in education and She anticipates a master of arts degree in teaching from Salem College in 2014. “I have full confidence that not only will she finish her bachelor and master’s degrees, but that she will someday pursue her doctoral degree,” said Lawrence. “She is one of the most outstanding students I have had in all my years of teaching.”

Davidson County Community College News Service

Andrea Packer’s former instructors and current employers at Davidson County Community College describe her as goal-oriented, self-directed, and a “lifesaver.” As a teacher assistant in the Early Childhood Education department, Packer gets paid to do what she loves — help guide and instruct students who, like her, want to teach young people. Studying to be an elementary school teacher, Packer attends classes on DCCC’s Davidson Campus where she is enrolled full-time in Catawba College’s baccalaureate degree program in education. While a DCCC student, the 20year-old Thomasville resident won the DCCC Presidential Scholarship and graduated with honors in May 2010 with a degree in early childhood education. Packer began working toward her four-year degree from Catawba in August 2010. Her classes on the Davidson Campus take place from 6 to 9:45 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays and 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays. The accelerated schedule allows students to complete one Catawba class each month, and tuition is comparable to that of state-supported colleges, although Catawba is a private college. Financial aid is also available. In addition to Catawba classes, Packer works 29 hours a week as a teaching assistant for instructors in the DCCC Early Childhood Education program. She is buying a house that she shares with her younger brother, a freshman at DCCC. Her accomplishments at such a young age, combined with her high energy, enthusiasm and creativity are greatly appreciated by several full-time faculty members, six parttime adjuncts and the DCCC students she tutors, said Jody Lawrence, associate dean for the DCCC School of Arts, Sciences and Education.

Packer said teaching has been her goal since she was a child growing up in Pennsylvania. Due to the convenience of earning her undergraduate degree without leaving the DCCC campus, she also plans to pursue a master’s degree in teaching from Salem College. Salem’s teacher education classes are also offered on the Davidson Campus.

Kannapolis City Schools to take part in nationwide study Kannapolis City Schools is joining a nationwide study to help school districts improve communication with parents and others. The district is one of approximately 100 school districts taking part in the national study to make communication more effective at the classroom, school and district levels. The effort is a partnership between the National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA), K12 Insight and local school districts. There is no cost to Kannapolis City Schools. The survey will be sent via e-mail in mid-March, and responses will be anonymous. The survey is open to all KCS parents and community members. Anyone wishing to participate may go to the Kannapolis

City Schools’ website (www.kannapolis. k12.nc.us) to provide an email address. All e-mail addresses will remain confidential and will be used only for the purposes of the survey. The survey is brief and can be completed within 10 minutes. “This is a wonderful opportunity for us and for the people we serve,” Superintendent Dr. Pam Cain said. “Parent and community involvement is so important, and this survey will help us strengthen that critical link. “I’m especially pleased that we can offer it to our community without cost to taxpayers. I hope people will sign up so we can learn more about how to reach out to our parents and community.”

“I’ve always known I wanted to be a teacher since the third grade,” said Packer. “I want to be the best teacher I can be. The instructors in the early childhood program cultivated and developed that interest. Now that I’m working for them, I am learning even more but they also feel like a part of my family.” Packer said she likes the convenience of leaving her teaching assistant’s job in one DCCC building and walking only steps to her Catawba classes in another building where she is taking history, education and statistics. As a teenager, she moved with her parents, Lester and Dawn Packer, to Thomasville, where she was homeschooled through high school graduation. While being homeschooled, she

attended a few college classes at DCCC where she immediately clicked with the Early Childhood Education curriculum. At DCCC, Packer enjoyed combining the concepts she learned in the classroom in real-life settings with children under the supervision of her instructors. Her course work included childhood growth and development, the physical and nutritional needs of children, the supervision and care of children and communication skills with parents and children. Now, as she tutors other students in the same curriculum, she is certain teaching is her dream profession. “I love the light bulb moments when a student finally gets something you are trying to explain,” she said. “That’s what you aim for; that’s what

Catawba College implements new financial aid module There is celebration at Catawba College as the first of many offices on campus goes live with the new SunGard Higher Education Banner System. In late January, after months of training and software preparation, the financial aid office began packaging financial aid for new fall 2011 students using the financial aid module of the system. “Now’s the time that prospective students are trying to make decisions about which college to attend and so we want to have information in their hands so they can actually make a decision,” explained Melanie McCulloh, Catawba’s financial aid director. “This new system is more automated and allows merit awards which are made based on SAT/ACT scores and grade point averages to automatically be plugged in to a student’s financial aid package.” After fall 2011 registration, slated for March 28-31, McCulloh’s staff will begin packaging financial aid for returning students. Some returning students in the School of Evening and Graduate Studies have received their financial aid packages from the new module. McCulloh said that more

features of the financial aid module would come online during the summer, allowing work study funding and other financial aid information to be available to students. “This new system will streamline our processes a little bit more. We are moving in the direction of going paperless, and although we’re not completely there yet, we’re getting there.” Catawba’s implementation of the system on campus began in June 2009. It has allowed the college to convert disparate campus computing systems into a new enterprise system. Federally mandated changes to the financial aid software for the 2011-12 academic year made it imperative that Catawba’s financial aid office be the first to go live with the system. Anna Swanson LaGreca, Catawba’s SunGard financial aid consultant, cheered the efforts of the Catawba team in getting the financial aid module up and running on schedule. Members of Catawba’s team include Robin Misenheimer, programmer-analyst; Melanie McCulloh, director of financial aid; Tracie Hummel, associate director of financial aid; and Christy Clifton, assistant to the director of financial aid and work study coordinator. Other departments that

are in the process of converting to and training on the new system include the business office, human resources, admissions, the registrar’s office, student affairs, development, institutional research and the School of Evening and Graduate Studies that handles admissions for the evening and graduate programs. With one integrated computing system, data can be entered once, and then shared by various departments. Retrieval of accurate historic data will be simplified and accurate current information readily available. Students will be able to register for classes online, while alumni can update their data and track their institutional gifts online. Prospective students will be able to track the status of their application, get information online tailored to their unique interests, and make connections with faculty, staff, students and alumni. The new system will allow Catawba to complete its own payroll rather than outsourcing, as is now the case. Information that is distributed or approved through manual paper processes, such as budget information and purchasing requests, can be electronically distributed and approved, saving labor and paper costs, while getting accu-

Catawba’s master of education program inspires and changes area teachers Catawba College News Service

Dr. Lou Ann Kasias, a Catawba College professor of education and coordinator of the college’s graduate program, believes teachers in the region need to know just what Catawba offers in its master of education in elementary education. “We go out of our way to make this personal,” said Kasias, a 20-year veteran in Catawba’s sole graduate program. “We actually visit the graduate students’ classrooms and give feedback to our students regarding their implementation of best practices. Moreover, despite this extra attention our program is affordable — only $160 per semester hour.” Kasias noted that it only takes 33 semester hours of coursework for a student to earn a master of education at Catawba, and if the student has National Board Certification, an additional three semester hours of credit are transferred in. “While teachers are earning a master’s in elementary education, they could possibly earn an initial reading license without additional courses. That’s two potential license changes within one program without additional coursework.” While convenient location, colleagues’ recommendations, and reasonable costs all figured in the decision of some Rowan County teachers to pursue their master’s degrees at Catawba, the desire to deepen their knowledge and better serve students motivated two recent graduates. For Theresa Pierce, a

“Going through Catawba’s graduate program was the single most rewarding experience of my 23-year career as an educator. Everything I learned was applicable to the classroom.”

Online registration When Catawba students register for fall 2011 classes

March 28-31, they will not stand in line outside the registrar’s office waiting for their turn to submit faculty adviser-approved class schedules. Instead, they can do it online. Although the students will still work with their faculty advisers on schedules, their registration process will be streamlined thanks to another feature of the new system that went live in March. On March 1, Catawba’s Computer Services introduced a new version of CatLink, the college community’s web portal. The new

version, CatLink 3.0 interfaces with Banner and allows members of the community to access information such as class schedules and grades, while also providing single sign-on access to other campus systems such as e-mail and Blackboard. Students will consult their advisers during the weeks of March 14 and March 21, determining which courses to take. Training sessions for advisers, faculty and academic support staff were offered in February in preparation for student advising and online registration.

THERESA PIERCE curriculum coach at Overton Elementary School

curriculum coach at Overton Elementary School in Salisbury, earning her master’s degree was an opportunity to finish what she had begun. “Thirty years ago, I started graduate school. It was my dream to complete my master’s degree. The teachers at Overton encouraged me to try Catawba. I told them, ‘I’m 50 years old and I will be 53 when I finish.’ They said, ‘You will be 53 with a degree.’ Their encouragement and the support of my family were just what I needed to begin the process.” “Going through Catawba’s graduate program was the single most rewarding experience of my 23-year career as an educator. Everything I learned was applicable to the classroom. I have a shelf in my classroom full of Catawba materials that I refer to often. As a curriculum coach, I am always using the skills I was taught at Catawba with teachers and students.” Amy Pruitt, a fifth-grade teacher at Enochville Elementary School, chose the graduate program at Catawba after she had been in the classroom a while and had a

strong grip on the curriculum. “I wanted to deepen my knowledge base to better serve my students,” she said. What she found as a graduate student was that “each course I took was pertinent to my classroom needs.” Today, she said she is “a more reflective teacher.” “Graduate school helped me see how vital it is to examine each child as a learner and meet my students’ needs daily. It reinforced teaching techniques that I had been using and gave me an arsenal of new, effective tools to push my students to be more successful. Attending Catawba’s graduate classes also made me hungry for current, research-based activities and practices.” For information on Catawba’s Master of Education Degree in Elementary Education, contact Dr. Lou Wilson Kasias, graduate program director, at 704-6374462 or by e-mail at lakasias@catawba. edu. Or, visit the college website for information on admissions requirements and application forms for the program at www.catawba.edu/graduate.

CONCORD — Classroom technology has graduated from chalk boards to smart boards. As high-tech innovations revolutionize learning, Cannon School is putting cutting-edge tools in the hands of its students. Cannon School raised $50,000 to enhance classroom technology during a recent parentled fundraising drive. The money will provide additional iPads, Smart Boards and Smart Tables at the junior kindergarten-12th grade independent school, as well as a new virtual language lab. “Smart technologies and iPads encourage high-engagement interactivity that keeps children absorbed in learning and prepares them with the tools for their future,” said Matt Rush, head of middle school. “These innovations offer a stimulating and constructive way to teach students.” Cannon School began providing iPads for middle school students in the fall. Teachers are incorporating the tablets in classes taught both inside and outside the classroom. For example, when students have to dis-

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — There’s no need to be indecisive or doubtful about anything important. Your judgment is likely to be quite keen, even when you have to make a hasty choice under pressure. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — You’ll reach objectives that others think impossible, if you are strongly motivated. Work on something that stimulates your juices. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Try to keep a flexible schedule that permits you to do something different if you choose. Spur-of-the-moment developments are apt to be the most fun and/or satisfying for you. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — An opportunity to do something exciting might come about through, of all people, your in-laws or a relative. It could turn out to be far more significant than early indicators suggest. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — The possibilities to advance one of your special interests could be magnified with the addition of a strong ally coming on board. Don’t hesitate to accept, because there is strength in union.

Falling in love with a car could spell trouble Dear Mary: I recently paid off my car, and I’m getting that itch to buy a new one. I have a 2002 Mazda Tribute with 130,000 miles. Right now, it needs about $1,250 worth of repairs. I’m jealous of the features available on newer cars. How can I MARY fall in love with my car HUNT again so I’m not faced with another five years of payments? — Katie, e-mail

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — A sluggish financial involvement that you’ve been nursing is finally likely to take a positive turn. Matters that were looking like liabilities will start to yield profits. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Your propensity for doing things with style and flourish will be extremely appealing to friends and family. What you do today will be remembered and imitated by others. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Your strong hunches and intuitive perceptions should not be ignored, especially if they are of a positive bent. Act on them as soon as you can. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Someone you meet for the first time will be favorably impressed and take a shine to you. Do everything you can to take advantage of this and cultivate the relationship.

Dear Katie: I did a little math on a new Mazda CX-9, which is similar to a Tribute. It has a suggested retail price of $29,135, but let’s assume you could get a great deal for just $25,000. You’d need $3,000 for the down payment, leaving $22,000 to be financed, at zero percent interest for five years. (Sounds awesome, doesn’t it?) Your payments would be $366 a month. Yes, even with zero percent and $3,000 down. Of course, the dealer would suggest that you lease it instead for only $359 a month. Wow. Imagine that. Only $359. Let me ask you the big question: Do you have $360 left over every month after you contribute to your personal savings,

give to charity and pay all of your bills? Where would that money come from each month? By my calculations, your repairs are equivalent to about three new car payments. That’s a whole lot different from 60 payments. My advice is to repair your Tribute, quit flirting with new car showrooms and stop believing that you should be in love with a car. It’s a mode of transportation to get you from here to there. What you drive does not define you, but it sure can land you in a prolonged state of depression. Once the repairs are paid, force yourself to start making $350-amonth payments to yourself in a “New Car” fund you set up. In a few years, you’ll have enough saved to buy a new car outright. In the meantime, never forget that there isn’t a new car in the world that feels as good as five years of debt feels bad. Do you have a question for Mary?

with recurrent episodes of vertigo with or without nausea, vomiting, photophobia or headache in a setting of positive family history of migraine or previous personal history might support the diagnosis. Other possibilities include a nervous-system abnormality that resulted in seizurelike activity. Infection (specifically meningitis), hormonal changes of the menstrual cycle or medication may be the culprit. Overdose or abrupt withdrawal of many medications can trigger symptoms such as those experienced.

that West has the ace-queen hovering over your king-10. So, if East gains the lead, he will push a spade through and they will run the whole suit. This means you must not take the heart finesse. Instead, lead a diamond to dummy’s king, then run the club seven. Here, West wins with his jack and does best to shift to a heart, but you rise with dummy’s ace and run the club 10. When that finesse wins (as it should three-quarters of the time), you have nine tricks: one spade, one heart, four diamonds and three clubs.

Whatever the cause, you need the results of your EEG and MRI so your neurologist can pinpoint why you experienced such symptoms and the best way to prevent them from happening again in the future. 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.

BY PHILLIP ALDER In yesterday’s deal, declarer had to guess which finesse to take in a four-spade contract. Today, though, the right finesse should be clearcut. You are in three no-trump. West leads the spade six: five, seven, jack. What would you do? North used a transfer bid, showing five-plus hearts and zero-plus points. After you completed the transfer (you may bid higher only with four-card support for partner’s major), North rebid his second suit, showing fourplus diamonds and, now, at least game-going values. Since you had stoppers in the black suits and only two hearts, you continued with three no-trump. You start with seven top tricks: one spade (given trick one), one heart, four diamonds and one club. You can get at least three more tricks from hearts, and you can probably engineer two extra winners from clubs. Which is the correct suit to attack? Since East would have played a spade honor if he had one, you should realize

identifiable reason. A solitary seizure doesn’t imply epilepsy, but even mild forms of a seizure might require treatment because they can occur at inappropriate times, such as when driving an automobile. You may have experienced a partial seizure or a pseudoseizure (pyschogenic non-epileptic seizure) that didn’t result in a loss of consciousness but manifested in confusion and jerking.

solidly on my own. Someone came, got me in a wheelchair and to an examining room. That’s when my motor skills were affected. My right arm would not stop moving up and down, and my right leg was also shaking. My speech was affected, reduced to stuttering. They took my vitals, and as I waited for the doctor, my back arched and my body started jerking. I had no control and could not talk. Instead, I mumbled loudly so someone would help me. They thought I was having some panic episode, but it would not stop. This continued for hours. During all of this, my mind was OK. I knew what was going on and could answer questions. I just didn’t have control of the stuttering or of my body movements. I had an EEG and MRI and will get the results soon. Could it have been a form of a partial seizure or severe migraine that many women get around this age?

Dear Dr. Gott: Although I am seeing a neurologist, I want to run my situation by you because I love your column and trust your expertise. I am a woman in my 20s in good health, not overweight. I try to work out three to five times a week, if not more. I don’t or do DR. PETER smoke drugs, but I GOTT occasionally drink. I am taking medication for birth control, anxiety and stress. I have what I would describe as occasional panic attacks. I have a high-stress job and other stresses in my life. Recently, I felt nauseated and slightly dizzy at work. I also had a mild headache. Since a lot of people in my office were sick at the time, I figured maybe I was getting the flu or a cold. I left to get checked out by a doctor, as the symptoms didn’t improve. By the time I made the five-minute drive, I was sure I was going to throw up. I checked in at the office and quickly went to the bathroom and sat on the floor. After five minutes, I had not thrown up. That was when I realized I could not stand

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER More active weather is expected in the East Thursday as a couple of cold fronts and low pressure move through the southeastern quadrant of the nation. Energy associated with these systems combined with rich warm moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will produce periods of rain and thunderstorms from the southern Alabama and the Florida Panhandle through the Mid-Atlantic Coast. Storms in the Florida Peninsula will have the potential to turn severe through the afternoon. Meanwhile, on the northern edge of this system, cold daytime highs will support periods of snowfall in the Central and Northern Appalachians. Behind the activity in the East, a trough of low pressure will kick up a areas of light rain and light snow showers in the Dakotas and Nebraska as it moves through the Midwest. In the West, subtropical moisture and another frontal boundary from the Pacific will create more precipitation in western Washington. This duo will provide rain showers and periods of heavy rainfall to the coast and western mountains of the state. Major rainfall may trigger Flood Watches over the area, while warming and rainfall may create Avalanche Warnings in the Cascades. Elsewhere, outside of precipitation in the Northern Intermountain West, high pressure will provide dry and fair weather conditions in California, parts of the Central Great Basin, and the Southwest.

Opening day The forecast: High hopes with rain and snow BY BEN WALKER Associated Press

AssociAted Press

Milwaukee Brewers players jog in the snow at Great American Ball Park in cincinnati, where the Brewers open their season today.

Grab the parka, ski cap, mittens and galoshes. It’s time for baseball. From Dodger Stadium to Yankee Stadium, there was a flurry of activity as teams got ready for opening day. At Great American Ball Park, meanwhile, actual flurries. Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder and the Milwaukee Brewers worked out

as snow flakes fell Wednesday, a day before they were to play Cincinnati. The conditions were better suited for snowballs than baseballs, too, when the Reds later took the field. “I love it. I love the weather,” Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips deadpanned. “The weather is beautiful.” The forecast for the six openers today wasn’t much better, either. Rain with temperatures in the 40s

in Washington, New York and Kansas City, downright chilly in Cincinnati. “If you’re playing golf and it’s 33 and windy, you take it into the clubhouse and play cards. Unfortunately we have to keep playing,” Yankees star Mark Teixeira said, set to face Detroit in the Bronx’s first March game. “It’s not easy playing in the cold but the good thing is both

Who is right for State? BY J.P. GIGLIO Raleigh News and Observer

RALEIGH — Before taking his second different team in four years to the Final Four, Kentucky coach John Calipari described the North Carolina State job as “terrific.” “Someone will go in there and do a really good job,” said Calipari, who has been to the Final Four with CALIPARI Memphis (in 2008) and now the Wildcats and was one of four coaches to publicly spurn the Wolfpack in the spring of 2006. Two weeks after Sidney Lowe resigned, the question remains: Who is that “someone”? The answer is unlikely to come before the end of the Final Four on Monday, which could indicate that N.C. State athletic director Debbie Yow has an interest in a coach whose team is still in either the NCAA Tournament or the NIT. Wichita State’s Gregg Marshall, whose team will play for the NIT title on Thursday in New York, and Virginia Commonwealth’s Shaka Smart are believed to be among Yow’s targets. Yow is scheduled to go to Houston for the Final Four, where Smart’s VCU team will play Butler. Houston is also the site of the annual coaches’ convention — a walking, talking version of monster.com for basketball coaches. While rumors of bigname candidates (Florida’s Billy Donovan and Texas’ Rick Barnes) get volleyed across the Internet by anxious Wolfpack fans, Yow has been silent since the news conference to announce Lowe’s departure on March 15. Since Lowe’s resignation, Georgia Tech (Brian Gregory for Paul Hewitt), Tennessee (Cuonzo Martin for Bruce Pearl) and Arkansas (Mike Anderson for John Pelphrey) have filled their vacancies. The jobs at Missouri (where Anderson left) and Oklahoma (where former Duke guard Jeff Capel was fired) remain open. Five years ago, N.C. State, under former AD Lee Fowler, pursued Barnes, Calipari, John Beilein and Steve Lavin in the search for Herb Sendek’s replacement. All four were offered the job and turned it down. That protracted process, which concluded after almost five weeks with Lowe

Staying together West Rowan soccer stars Parker, Gibbons headed to Catawba BY RYAN BISESI rbisesi@salisburypost.com

MOUNT ULLA — They're growing up, but not splitting up. Allison Parker and Brittany Gibbons have been a two-headed soccer behemoth in Rowan County for over a decade and that's not going to change anytime soon. The pair who played together on

multiple travel teams, and throughout middle and high school will play together at Catawba next year. Parker thinks that's pretty cool. “We both know how each other plays,” Paker said. “That's going to be a plus. (Gibbons) signed there first and I had no clue where I was going.” A 5-foot-8 defender who also played basketball, Parker went on visits at Lees-McRae and Carson-New-

man, but Catawba's comforts made her feel more at home. “I thought I would want to go to a far-away school at first,” Parker said. “The further I went, the more I realized I didn't want to go far away. Catawba has a good campus and a good program for my major. It was a good click once I realized where I wanted to go.” Despite that she plays in the back,

the 2009 County Player of the Year has an offensive element to her game. Her scoring strength was highlighted in a four-goal effort against North Rowan earlier this season. She often comes up to take corner kicks and free kicks and currently has eight goals and an assist, helping the Falcons to a 8-1 start which includes a

VCU coach started at Cal. U. in PSAC BY RAY FITTIPALDO Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Shaka Smart is the hottest coaching prospect in NCAA basketball. This 33-year-old head-coaching prodigy has taken Virginia Commonwealth University to the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history after an improbable run as a No. 11 seed. The first person to notice Smart had the makings of a great coach was California University of Pennsylvania coach Bill Brown, who has known him longer than anyone else

in college basketball. Smart got his coaching start under Brown in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference, earning his coaching stripes as a graduate assistant for the Vulcans from 1999-2001. Brown and Smart have known each other for 15 years. Before becoming California’s head coach in 1996, Brown was the head coach at Division III Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio. He recruited and signed Smart to play basketball at Kenyon, winning recruiting battles against Ivy League schools that wanted Smart.

Brown was able to sell Kenyon to Smart with academics and basketball. “The unique thing about Shaka is that he had a near-perfect SAT score coming out of high school,” Brown said. “He always had his backpack on his right shoulder, and he always had a basketball in his left hand. He carried that basketball with him around campus, to the cafeteria, everywhere he went. I used to joke with him that he slept with that basketball. He had a passion for the game. He took basket-

Tressel: I never looked at myself as perfect Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State coach Jim Tressel apologized for letting people down Wednesday, and acknowledged that some may view him as a cheater in the wake of NCAA violations that resulted in a five-game suspension. “I suppose there could be some that might feel that way and there might be others who might not,” Tressel said. “I don’t have a whole lot of control over that.” Tressel, dressed in his trademark sweater vest, declined to discuss the investigation into the rules violations during an almost hour-long news

conference. Ohio State has recommended that Tressel be suspended the first five games of this season for failing to report that his players sold memorabilia and received improper benefits. Tressel knew about the situation but did not inform his superiors or the NCAA for more than nine months. The NCAA could accept Tressel’s sanctions — which includes a $250,000 fine taken from his estimated $3.5 million annual salary — or levy additional penalties. The players — including star quarterback Terrelle Pryor — were suspended in late December for the

first five games of 2011 for accepting improper benefits. All were permitted to play in the Sugar Bowl, however, which the Buckeyes won 31-26 over Arkansas. TRESSEL Tressel said he believes players will still listen to him when he returns to the sidelines, even though his character has been sullied by what he referred to as “mistakes.” “I’m not sure I’ve ever talked (to) or guided our kids with the idea that I’ve done everything perfectly,”

Tressel said. “I’ve never looked at myself that way. Some of us are parents in here. We talk to our kids about doing the right things. Well, some of us haven’t done everything perfectly, but we still have that responsibility to do that.” Tressel also introduced linebackers coach Luke Fickell as his replacement for the games he’ll be suspended. The co-defensive coordinator is in his 10th year on the Ohio State staff. “When you visit, when you’ve been here, when you truly know what the place is about, when you truly know what the foundation is, the small, little storms, you know, won’t

take you down,” Fickell said of the trouble surrounding the program. Tressel is permitted to work with the team all spring, throughout preseason practice and even during the period of his suspension — just like normal. He is only required to stay away from the Buckeyes on the days of home games against Akron, Toledo, Colorado and Michigan State and the road game at Miami, Fla. A school spokeswoman and Tressel turned aside questions relating to the investigation of his violations. But in announcing what was then a two-game suspension on March 8, school officials laid out the framework of the investigation.

Hurricanes win

Bobcats get big win

Associated Press Associated Press

The NBA roundup ... CHARLOTTE — Boris Diaw scored 26 points and hit the tiebreaking free throw with 14 seconds left to lead the short-handed Charlotte Bobcats to a 98-97 victory over the gritty Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night. Diaw added 11 assists and seven rebounds in becoming Charlotte’s main scoring option after Stephen Jackson was sidelined with his troublesome hamstring injury. Kwame Brown had 16 points and eight rebounds for the Bobcats, who won their fourth straight game to remain one game behind Indiana for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot. It was another close win for the Bobcats despite another night of makeshift lineups. Jackson tweaked his nagging left hamstring midway through the first quarter, an injury that’s had him in and out of the lineup for more than a month. Jackson returned in the second quarter, but could barely move, got no lift on his shot and didn’t return after halftime. D.J. Augustin, playing through a twisted left ankle and sore right knee that knocked him out of Monday’s game, had 12 assists and eight points. Backup point guard Shaun Livingston (bruised tailbone) remained out and forward Tyrus Thomas was sidelined with pain and swelling in his surgically repaired left knee. Reserve Dante Cunningham took advantage of his increased playing time to score 12 points for Charlotte, which trailed by eight in the third and 97-95 with 2:02 left. With the game tied, Diaw got the ball in the post and drew a foul on Ryan Hollins. He hit the first free

throw but was short on the second. Cleveland grabbed the rebound, but advanced it slightly before calling a timeout, forcing them to put the ball into play from the side in the backcourt. After struggling to get into the frontcourt, coach Byron Scott called a second timeout with 2.8 seconds left. Parker then got the ball on the left side, but his off-balance shot bounced off the rim at the buzzer. Pacers 111, Pistons 101 INDIANAPOLIS — Darren Collison scored 20 points, Danny Granger added 17 and Indiana used a 31-12 run in the second quarter to pull away. Josh McRoberts added 15 points and Roy Hibbert 12 for the Pacers, who maintained their hold on the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference — one game ahead of Charlotte. Heat 123, Wizards 107 WASHINGTON — LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat had a surprisingly tough time against the lowly Wizards — even after No. 1 draft pick John Wall was ejected. James finished with 35 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, Wade had 33 points and nine assists, and Chris Bosh scored 26, helping Miami get past Washington 123-107 and avoid what would have been a second consecutive embarrassing loss. Bulls 108, Timberwolves 91 MINNEAPOLIS — Derrick Rose had 23 points and 10 assists in three quarters to help Chicago remain 21/2 games ahead of Boston and Miami in the race for the top seed in the East. Carlos Boozer had 24 points and 14 rebounds for the Bulls.

Cory Stillman had a goal and an assist and Joni Pitkanen added a goal for the ninth-place Hurricanes, three points behind Buffalo and the New York Rangers in the race for one of the eight Eastern Conference playoff spots. Carolina has won six of its last eight. Mike Cammalleri and rookie P.K. Subban scored powerplay goals for Montreal, which held a 40-35 shots advantage yet lost for the fifth time in seven games.

The Rangers lost in regulation for the first time in eight games (6-1-1) to drop to 8-2-1 in their past 11. While Henrik Lundqvist stopped 34 shots for the Rangers, New York has scored just three goals in its past four games, including a pair of 1-0 shutout victories. Devils 3, Islanders 2 NEWARK, N.J. — Andy Greene broke a tie with 4:56 left and New Jersey beat New York Islanders to remain barely alive in the Eastern Conference playoff race. After the Islanders erased a 2-0 deficit on a pair of goals by Frans Nielsen 4:06 apart earlier in the period, Greene took a pass from Patrik Elias, glided into the left circle, and snapped a shot over Rick DiPietro's left pad to give the defenseman his first goal in 34 games, dating to Jan. 8. Blues 10, Red Wings 3 DETROIT — Cam Janssen and Chris Porter scored for the first time this season, and Jaroslav Halak, meanwhile made 41 saves to help St. Louis rout Detroit.

VC-Who? Richmond sends beloved VCU off to Final Four Associated Press

The college hoops notebook ... RICHMOND, Va. — With chants and cheers, more than a thousand fans gave VCU a spirited send-off to college basketball’s Final Four. Fans waved black-and-gold bandannas and held up “Go Rams” signs as the players and then coach Shaka Smart filed into buses Wednesday on campus for the trip to Houston. Their quixotic season continues Saturday when they play Butler. VCU President Michael Rao greeted each player as he entered the bus and embraced Smart, who is leading the Rams to their first trip to the Final Four. Asked what he told the players, Rao said he asked them how their classes went this week. Eleven police motorcycles led the team buses from the campus to the Richmond airport for the flight to Texas.

N.C. STATE FroM 1c leaving the NBA for his alma mater, is one reason Yow might be having difficulty expediting this search, ESPN analyst Dave Telep said. “The N.C. State job was devalued the last time a search was conducted,” said Telep, ESPN’s top recruiting analyst who lives in Wake Forest, N.C. “It was a charade in terms of the length of time and how public everything was.” Telep said the program, which won national titles in 1974 and 1983 and has 10 ACC titles, needs to be “rebranded.” “This job can stand on its own,” Telep said. In his brief comments before Kentucky knocked off Ohio State

its willingness to spend freely in that quest — Missouri's weeklong search for its next men's basketball coach is off to a rocky start. Matt Painter's decision Wednesday to remain at Purdue has the Tigers dealing with Big Ten-style rejection for the second time in less than a year. Missouri strongly considered ditching the Big 12 Conference last summer to join an expanded Big Ten. The Big Ten instead opted to invite Missouri's conference rival Nebraska, leaving Missouri and the remaining members of a whittled-down Big 12 scrambling to survive. After losing Mike Anderson to Arkansas on March 16 despite offers of a new contract and $2 million annual salary, Missouri athletic director Mike Alden hoped to make a splash with Painter, his top target. JIMMER AWARDED SALT LAKE CITY — BYU guard Jimmer Fredette is the 2011 Adolph Rupp Award winner as National Player of the Year. The Cougar senior led BYU to a 32-5 season and to the NCAA's

He had the highest scoring average in the nation (28.9) and shattered Danny Ainge's school career scoring mark, finishing his career with 2,599 points after scoring a school-record 1,068 points this season. NIT FINAL TONIGHT NEW YORK — Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall bristles when he hears the term "mid-major" applied to his team, even though he understands where people are coming from. "There is not a lot that is midmajor about these guys," Marshall said. The Shockers have yet another opportunity to prove that Thursday night, when they face top-seeded Alabama in the NIT championship game. It's the first of two eventual title games that pit teams from smaller leagues against those from the major conferences. Butler and VCU meet in the Final Four in Houston on Saturday, with the winner facing UConn or Kentucky — a pair of traditional basketball powers — for the national championship.

and UNC last week in the East Regional, Calipari cited State’s proximity to UNC and Duke as a selling point. “I liked the situation there because it gave you a chance to get on the same footing with the Dukes and North Carolinas — like, ‘Let’s go, let’s have it,’ “ Calipari said. But not every coach views the situation, with the specter of annual dates with Mike Krzyzewski and Roy Williams, as a positive. “They are the two big bullies on the neighborhood that you’re always going to be compared to,” Telep said. ESPN analyst Jay Bilas said State’s proximity to UNC and Duke doesn’t have to be a deterrent. “I think it’s a good job,” said Bilas, a former Duke player and assistant coach. “It’s a good conference, the program has a good history and they have nice setup.”

"I like to refer to our situation as a non-BCS program," Marshall said of the conferences that belong to football's Bowl Championship Series. Wichita State is part of the Missouri Valley Conference, and doesn't even have a football program anymore. "There are a lot of major programs that would like these guys," Marshall said. "Generally we recruit players who, in two or three years, the BCS folks will turn and go, 'How did you get them?' You just have to develop young athletes who have that potential." RICE INTRODUCED WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. — Former Vanderbilt assistant King Rice was officially introduced as the next coach at Monmouth, N.J., on Wednesday. Rice, a former point guard at North Carolina, helped lead the Commodores to the NCAA tournament four times in his five seasons, and will now take over a program that went 9-21 this year. "I am going to start very quickly at trying to get Monmouth back to the top of the NEC," Rice said.

SHAKA FroM 1c ball very serious. He was like a sponge. He took everything in.” Brown knew he had a special recruit when he watched Smart playing in a high-school all-star game with other major-college prospects. It was then that he first saw Smart’s leadership abilities. “He was in this all-star game with all of these other high-major players, and he was the focal point because of the way he handled his team,” Brown said. “He was like the Pied Piper out there. He had this very high basketball IQ. He was determined to learn every position on the court. And once he did that he was able to communicate with everyone on the court.” When Brown left Kenyon to become the head coach at Cal after Smart’s freshman season, he made a promise to his prized pupil. Should Smart wish to pursue a coaching career, Brown would have a position on his staff for him.

UTAH HALL OF FAME SALT LAKE CITY — Luther "Ticky" Burden and Wat Misaka are among those being inducted into the University of Utah Hall of Fame.

So it came to pass in 1999 when Smart graduated from Kenyon after a four-year career as a starting point guard. It was the first of six stops over 10 years. Smart coached with Brown for two years before moving on to Dayton, Akron, Clemson and Florida. He was named VCU’s head coach before the 2009-10 season. Saturday night, the Rams will play Butler in a national semifinal game, one step away from the national-title game. Brown, who speaks with Smart by phone once a week, will be there to watch in person. It was only 10 years ago that Smart was assisting Brown and helping the Vulcans prepare for the PSAC tournament. Now he has a chance for his one shining moment on the biggest stage. “I’m very proud of him, but I think the best is yet to come,” Brown said. “If you watch his teams play it’s always a ‘we’ game, not a ‘me’ game. He has taken bits and pieces from all of his experiences at every place he’s been. His team hasn’t changed its style all season. They’re playing as well as any team in the tournament. They’re prepared for the opportunity.”

Bonds’ trainer injected Velarde Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — As prosecutors moved closer to finishing their case against Barry Bonds, former major league infielder Randy Velarde described meeting the slugger's personal trainer outside spring training ballparks for injections of human growth hormone. Velarde said he sought out Greg Anderson because of his link to Bonds, and they met "in various parking lots." "I can't remember each," Velarde said Wednesday during his 12 minutes of federal court testimony. He wasn't sure exactly how many times he met AnVELARDE derson. He was asked whether it was more than 10. "That would be a fair number," he said. And always, there would be an injection. "Every meeting," he said. Velarde became the fourth and likely final ball player to say he purchased performance-enhancing drugs from Anderson, who has been jailed for contempt after refusing to testify against Bonds, his childhood friend.

SPRING TRAINING ATLANTA — Brandon Beachy pitched four scoreless innings for Atlanta and Scott Baker was just as strong for the Minnesota Twins in their 2-0 win over the Braves. Beachy gave up five hits and no walks. He posted a 0.90 ERA for the spring to beat out Mike Minor and Rodrigo Lopez for the fifth spot in the Braves' rotation. Rays 5, Blue Jays 3 ST.

Upton snapped a seventhinning tie with a two-run single to help the Tampa Bay Rays finish their exhibition schedule with a victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. Mets 6, Marlins 3 PORT ST.

OPENING DAY FROM 1B teams have to do it.” Said Tigers catcher Alex Avila: “It’s going to be perfect weather, 40s and rain. A good day to pitch.” At Nationals Park, Washington players came out to practice in red-hooded sweat shirts. Their workout ended in the rain when the grounds crew pulled out the tarp, and no telling if it’ll be any better for Thursday’s game against Atlanta. “We’ll show up ready to play. And if we don’t, we’ll play Friday. We have that offday leeway, so that’s smart,” Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman said. “We knew it was going to be a little chilly — coming from Florida, we won’t be used to it. But we’ll be so excited to play, I don’t think it’ll matter.” Sure is a change from last year. There wasn’t a single rainout or snowout for more than 21/2 weeks, the longest any season had gone from the start without a weather postponement in 25 years. Either way, quite a change

ROSE ARRESTED WEST BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Former NBA and Fab Five standout Jalen Rose was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of drunken driving. West Bloomfield Township Police Lt. Tim Diamond said Tuesday that Rose was arrested around 2 a.m. March 11. He’s accused of operating a vehicle while impaired. The 38-year-old Rose played 13 years in the NBA, reaching the finals with Indiana in 2000. He was also part of Michigan’s famous Fab Five, which reached the NCAA title game in 1992 and 1993.

NASCAR CHARLOTTE — Rick Ware Racing says it will field a Truck for Jeffery Earnhardt this weekend at Martinsville Speedway, after all. Ware had said Tuesday he had terminated the contract with the 21-year-old driver because Earnhardt was actively looking for another ride. Ware also accused Earnhardt of trying to steal the team's sponsor. On Wednesday, the team owner blamed the decision on emotions and a lack of communication between the two. He says he'll use Earnhardt this Saturday at Martinsville and work to keep him in the Truck for the rest of the year.

from the sunny spring training fields in Arizona and Florida. “We came in from like 90 degrees. We flew back last night and there’s snow today. It’s kind of different,” said Edinson Volquez, the opening day starter for Cincinnati. Leave it to LA to provide the perfect setting. Two-time Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum, Rookie of the Year Buster Posey and the World Series champion San Francisco Giants open at Dodger Stadium, where it’s supposed to be sunny and near 80 degrees. Plus the Giants-Dodgers rivalry, right from the get-go. “It’s going to be a little fire,” Giants center fielder Andres Torres said. “That’s part of it.” So are familiar faces in new places. Angels outfielder Vernon Wells, Tigers slugger Victor Martinez, Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth and Braves second baseman Dan Uggla are among the stars set to make their debuts. Old pros Chipper Jones, back from a knee injury that almost finished his career, and Derek Jeter, coming off a down year, also get fresh starts. “There’s a twinkle in his

eye, there’s something there,” new Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said about Jones. “Maybe it’s getting a taste of the playoffs and a chance we can do it again this year.” Also part of the scene: Mike Mussina and Jim Edmonds, throwing out ceremonial first balls. Mussina will do it at Yankee Stadium, Edmonds gets the honor in St. Louis before the Cardinals host San Diego. At Kauffman Stadium, where the Royals host the Los Angeles Angels, and other ballparks there will be a collection for the relief efforts in Japan after the earthquake and tsunami. Stadium workers in Kansas City bundled up against the cold as they got logos, banners and signs ready for the opener. Despite the daunting forecasts, there’s always a lot of anticipation. “Even after all these years, there are still butterflies. Heck, yeah,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “No matter how long you do this. If you still have the same joy as you did as a kid, you remember the opening day Little League parade. I do. It’s the best game.”

Brittany Gibbons, left, and Allison Parker share a laugh while Parker cuts the cake.

SOCCER FROM 1B 5-1 mark in the 3A North Piedmont Conference. “When they score, I kind of put it upon myself and it normally makes me work harder to keep it from happening again,” Parker said. “I like having control of everything. I never liked being scored on.” An All-County, All-Conference and AllRegion selection in 2010, Parker was an integral part of the Falcons winning their firstever playoff game last season. West's success this year is a culmination of Parker's goals since she started playing in first grade. The goal this year is to win the conference, something the Falcons have never done. “I always said when I was in middle school, 'I want to come to the high school and beat Salisbury, be No. 1 in the conference and I want to make everybody know who West Rowan is,’ ” Parker said. Although the Falcons dropped their match with Salisbury in a competitive 2-1 game in the Rowan County championship, plenty of eyes gathered on Mount Ulla after a huge 2-1 win at Statesville last week to put West in the drivers seat in the NPC. West is currently ranked ninth in the state among 3A teams. “We were jumping on each other and it was the craziest thing,” said Parker of the Statesville celebration. “She's a natural born leader,” said West coach Nick Brown, who played at Catawba before graduating in 2005. “She always wants the best out of herself and the best out of her teammates.” Brown, also Parker's club soccer coach with FCCA Freedom, thinks she has an opportunity to get significant playing time as a freshman. “I think Allison can work on her quickness a little, but she has the chance to step in and play next year,” Brown said. “I have no doubt she'll work hard over the summer to get better.” Parker, who's sister Rebecca also plays for West, plans to major in education. • Gibbons is reserved when it comes to talking about her self. But in last week's monumental win against Statesville, the normally calm striker for West had to emote what a large step

the victory was for the program. “I cried because I was so happy,” Gibbons said. “Coach was like, 'Are you hurt?' ” Gibbons, who scored the go-ahead goal against the defending NPC champs, has a distinct familiarity with nearby Catawba, which won her heart after giving looks to Charlotte and Lees-McRae. Along with teammate Parker, Gibbons signed with the Indians on National Signing Day in January. “Since I was like 5, I've been to summer camp there,” Gibbons said. “I wanted to go to a smaller school since the classes are smaller. I love it.” Gibbons has 12 goals and nine assists after scoring in the 6-1 win at East Rowan Tuesday night and has the scoring touch that earned her the County Player of the Year in 2008. Gibbons has been a scoring threat for the Falcons since her freshman year and continued to rack up goals despite the defensive attention. She was all-North Piedmont Conference and All-County the past three seasons and an All-Region choice last year. “I don't think we've played the best we can yet this year,” Gibbons said. “Winning conference is our main goal.” Gibbons says she will room with Salisbury's Karen Presnell, another All-Region player who chose Catawba. Gibbons played with Parker on the Rowan Rage, Lake Norman and FCCA Freedom travel teams. Her sister Jessica also plays for the Falcons. “Leading my team and working hard have been my main focus,” Gibbons said. Her first three seasons, Gibbons scored a team-best 65 goals and totaled 53 assists, good enough for 183 points. Last year, she scored 29 times while adding 22 goals as a sophomore and 14 as a freshman. “She loves to play soccer,” Brown said. “I love her attitude and the fact that she always wants to be out there. She's got that passion and that desire.” “She had 29 goals last year, but also had 19 assists, so she's not a selfish player at all.” Gibbons says she needs to get stronger and improve endurance to excel at the college level. Next year will be the first year in some time that Brown will have not coached her. “It's about the closest relationship I have with just about anyone besides my parents,”said Gibbons of her coach. “It's a special moment for me,” Brown said. These girls have been like daughters to me. They bring so much life to the team. I couldn't be prouder.”

eddie lackey of trinity caught this big bass on badin lake Friday using a crank bait. weekend, which pushed the water temperatures back from around 60 degrees to around 55 degrees, then these big eggladen females would be a lot closer to getting on their spawning beds in shallow water. This week’s temperatures will not have done much to bring the water temperatures back up to where the fish will start bedding. But we are so close. Then again, as Lackey and others have proved, these fish are still feeding, even with the latest cooling. Seeing Lackey’s big fe-

male bass reminded me of a mother who is ninemonths pregnant and about ready to pop. Women at this stage are so ready to give birth because they just aren’t comfortable, I assume, and bass can’t be any different. They want to spawn as soon as the water temperatures are right. So, get out to the lake right now. This is the time to beat the banks to find these big fish. As the water gets back closer to 65 degrees, these same females will lock onto their beds and the sight fishing opportunities

will begin to get spectacular, especially if the water is clear. When the fish are still cruising around the shallows you can catch them with crank baits, spinner baits and lipless crank baits. Once the bass are on the beds, a weedless, weightless big-plastic worm is deadly because when you put it on a bed, the bass will either eat it out of anger or even just pick it up to move it off the bed. Either way, you’ll be a solid hook-set away from a lunker bass of your own.

Are we really losing the world’s turtles? recently heard the following statement at a conference organized by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on the conservation status of turtles: “Turtles are indeed in terrible trouble.” The reason for such a bold and forbidding statement is that “49 percent, or essentially half of all modern turtles, are either alWHIT ready exGIBBONS tinct or threatened with extinction.” Of the 334 species of the world’s known species of turtles and tortoises, which includes the 57 species in the U.S., almost a dozen have become extinct. This is appalling news for anyone who likes turtles and appreciates wildlife. The statement was made by Anders Rhodin, who is all about turtles. His talk, coauthored with Peter Paul van Dijk of Conservation International, was the keynote address. Among his turtle expert credentials, Rhodin is chair of the Tortoise and Freshwater Turtle Specialist Group of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and founder of the Chelonian

Research Foundation (CRF). CRF publishes the world’s largest professional scientific journal focused on turtles and tortoises. His role with IUCN alone qualifies him to toll the bell signaling that turtles of the world, including the United States, are in a serious plight. The turtle specialist group operates as part of the IUCN’s Species Survival Commission, which seeks the advice of experts throughout the world to provide science-based conservation recommendations about groups of plants and animals. Counsel from a specialist group “is the recognized global authority” and results in the official IUCN Red List “for the determination of global threat levels” for each taxonomic group under consideration. Aside from seven species of sea turtles, of which one or more are found in all oceans except the Antarctic, the global distribution pattern of turtles might surprise you. The regions with the highest concentration of turtle species are the Amazon basin, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and the southeastern United States. Among countries, Mexico, Australia, and Brazil each have a high diversity of turtles. And “among the

Game on for huge bass he biggest female bass in both High Rock and Badin are there for the taking. Just go to the dock or the ramp and ask the boys in the bass boats as they are coming off the water. In fact, while fishing off a dock on Badin last Friday I had the good fortune to meet an angler who was, quite literally, having one GLENN of the best HUDSON days of his life. I first saw this guy from more than 100 yards away as he worked a crank bait from the edge of the grassy shoreline back to his boat. He caught a 5-pound bass while me and my friends were watching from across the cove. Then, he did something that I could never do. He tossed it back like it was nothing. I would have let the fish go as well, but not without a lot of fanfare. What manner of fisherman is this who throws back aquatic pigs without so much as a thought? We immediately applauded him for his success when he uttered the words that really got our attention. “That one was nothing,” said Eddie Lackey, of Trinity. “Wait till you see the one I’ve got in the live well.” Then he pulled it out. I’ve never seen a bigger bass in person. It weighed just over 9 pounds. What a monster. He caught it on a crank bait that ran about five to six feet below the surface. Lackey’s not the only one catching big fish, however. These catches are taking place all over our lakes. Most every angler I’ve talked to is catching fish, with reports of fish more than 5 pounds very common. If it weren’t for the cold front that came through over the last

nations of the world, the USA has by far the richest turtle fauna.” In fact, some states, including Alabama, Louisiana, South Carolina, and Georgia, each have more turtle species than are found in all but a handful of nations. In comparing nations in the categories of “good news” (having lots of turtles) and “bad news” (having high numbers that are threatened) China is singled out as “the nation with the highest total threat level of their turtles.” China is home to many species. Unfortunately, most of them are on a steady path toward extinction in the wild. Vietnam, Indonesia, Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, India, and Malaysia also rank in the worldwide top 10 of the highest numbers of threatened species. Get the picture? China, India, and most of Southeast Asia in between are eliminating their turtles. The United States ranks 10th, which is not particularly comforting even though we have the most species to begin with. According to Rhodin, the five nations that “warrant the highest turtle conservation efforts,” based on criteria that include having species found in no other nation, are China, Indonesia, the United States, India, and Mexico.

The consensus among turtle conservation biologists is that the Asian turtle trade is the primary threat to the world’s turtles. Turtles as food delicacies are a social status symbol. And the notion that turtle meat has some completely unproven medicinal values also drives the market. What is the extent of turtle commerce? One investigation uncovered an exporting business that was sending “about 25 tons of live turtles per week to China and East Asia.” No turtles on earth today can sustain that kind of commercial harvesting impact. Extinction is the last rung on the ladder, and too many turtles have already reached that step. Consider this: Most of the turtles native to China are commercially extinct in the wild. The southern United States has more kinds of turtles than anywhere else in the world. Where do you think turtle poachers will be coming to get their next turtle shipment for China?

Fishin’ with Capt. Gus!

Some funny stuff Going fishing is only part of the fun. Sometimes what people talk and write about afterwards adds even more enjoyment to the sport. Here are a few things that have happened along the way, and a few sayings taken from the walls of fishing establishments and restaurants. A dad and son were fishing from the shoreline, when all of a sudden the boy catches a big fish. He asks, “What are we going to do with it?” The dad answered, “I don’t know. This has never happened before.” Next, a statement printed on a sign in a tackle shop read, “Work hard — fish harder!” Another, similar to the first, had a more sobering message. “Born to fish; forced to work.” One that is sure to get your attention read, “A bad day of fishing beats a good day of shopping with my wife at the mall.” And, a post on a popular website read, “Missing — husband, boat, fishing tackle and dog — Reward for dog.” There is an eyeball mounted on a plaque on a wall in an area tackle shop. The one word caption reads, “Walleye.” Another, on a Lake Norman charter boat says, “I would rather be lost on Lake Norman than be found at home.” And another favorite reads, “Caution — fishing and hunting stories in progress. Protective boots might be required.” To encourage people to buy more gear, one shop has this notice posted at the front door. “Fishermen never have enough rods, reels, tackle boxes and lures.” That’s probably why one angler’s favorite saying is, “I spent most of my money on fishing. The rest I wasted.” A bass fisherman once said, and he really meant it: “Some people have a drinking problem. Mine is fishing.” There has always been a bit of rivalry between hunters and fishermen. Maybe this explains the saying, Hunters lie and wait; fishermen wait and lie.” This thought is appropriate in today’s hurried world — “So many fish; so little time.” And, for those new to the sport, this one offers some good advice: “Only fish on days that end with the letter Y.

Tips from Capt. Gus Small minnows will not only tempt crappies, but are also great for taking white perch. Use a small hook and a light split shot weight.

Hot Spot of the Week Depending on the weather, bass fishing has been very good to excellent. Best bets are the shallow pockets and coves of Mountain, Hicks and Terrapin Creeks. White perch and crappie continue to be caught around sunken brush and boathouses. Striper fishing is spotty, but best results are upriver and in the Davidson/Reed Creek arms of Lake Norman. The surface water temperature varies by location, but is mainly in the 50s and 60s in open waters not affected by the power plants. The water level is about 2.5 feet below full pond on Lake Norman and 2.5 feet below on Mountain Island Lake.

Catawba presents

Nineteen females plus one male equals hilarious comedy BY SYDNEY BERK For The Salisbury Post

atawba College invites audiences to discover one of William Shakespeare’s most hilarious comedies. Follow the antics of one of theater’s mostloved fools, Falstaff, as he is tricked by two witty wives. “The Merry Wives of Windsor” will be performed April 5 and 6 at 6:55 p.m. and April 7, 8 and 9 at 7:30 p.m. Directed by Professor Dayna Anderson, it’s the story of a fat knight who has plans to seduce two lovely ladies in order to get close to their husbands’ very deep pockets. Little does he know, the quick-witted women quickly devise a plan of their own to teach Falstaff a lesson.

Carrie Foster, Bristol Glass, Robin Tynes, Katie Hopkins in a scene from Catawba’s upcoming production of ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor.’ This classic play is peppered with jealous husbands, feuding couples and love triangles. Director Anderson suggests that right now, with “the world coming apart at the seams,” everyone needs a little comedy in their lives.”

The Merry Wives acting company is made up of Aaron Alderman of Durham, proud to represent the men as Falstaff, and 19 women, including Bailey Buckner, Jamie Caputo, Jodye Carroll, Carrie Foster, Bristol Glass, Katie Haeuser, Carrie Harris, Katie Hopkins, Katie Johnson, Yolanda McClure, Mary Alice Nichols, Annabelle Prince, Kara Procell, Collette Riddle, Donna Steele, Katherine Tierney, Robin Tynes and Mackenzie Westbrook. Tickets for Catawba College’s production of “The Merry Wives of Windsor” are $10 for adults and $8 for senior citizens and nonCatawba students. Group discounts are available. For more details, contact the Catawba College Theatre Box Office at (704) 637-4481, or buy tickets online at www.showtix4u.com. Following the Friday, April 8, performance, audience members are invited to a reception in Peeler Crystal Lounge honoring the college’s Elizabethan Scholar, Dr. Bethany Sinnott. Dr. Sinnott will retire from Catawba at the end of this academic year after almost 42 years of service to the institution.

TimeOut | Colonial Spring Frolic

Thursday, March 31, 2011 • 7D

SubmiTTed pHOTO

The Old Stone House opens for the season Saturday with a celebration, the Colonial Spring Frolic.

Rowan Museum celebrates re-opening of the Old Stone House for the season he Rowan Museum will sponsor its third annual Colonial Spring Frolic on Saturday, in celebration of spring and the re-opening of the 1766 Old Stone House for the season. Included in the festivities are tours of the only surviving colonial house in Rowan County with guides in period costumes. Historical interpreters will offer crafts, including dying Easter eggs with natural dyes and guests may participate. Muskets will be fired , along with woodworking, weaving, spinning, tatting, candle making, open fire cooking and tastings, children’s games, colonial dancers and music. There may be animals, and there will certainly be treks to the creek and to the family cemetery down through the woods on the property. ”It’s a great way to herald spring in a simpler fashion as our ancestors did many years ago,” says Kaye Hirst, director

of Rowan Museum. “They picked violets and used them to create a beautiful blue dye; onion skins made a yellow dye…all for coloring eggs. They cleaned out the root cellar…..we will make a soup they made many years ago, ”Scrag End Soup.” The leftover end of a hambone from the smokehouse, beans that were dried and not used over the winter, potatoes and carrots from the root cellar, and dandelion greens from the yard and fields, and maybe some greens in the garden — cooked over an open fire. It’s delicious!” The Old Stone House is located only one half mile down Old Stone House Road off Highway 52 in Granite Quarry. Activities are 10 am until 4 pm. Cost is $4 for adults and $2 for students. For more information, call the museum at 704-633-5946 or email rowanmuseum@carolina.rr.com.
