in jobless stats ends extension Benefits for long-term jobless shortened by 20 weeks Staff report
An uptick in employment figures may bring bad news to unemployed workers who are participating in the Extended Benefits Program. The state announced Monday it would not pay state Extended Benefits claims past April 16. The program had provided up to 20 weeks of benefits for long-term unemployed people who had exhausted benefits in other programs. It was unclear Monday how many people that will affect in Rowan County. Debbie Davis, manager of the local office of the N.C. Employment Security Commission and JobLink Center, said more than 500 people in the county received Extended Benefits checks in January, but she did not know how many would be

County commissioners said Monday that they plan to stop funding three nonprofit organizations and give less money to most others in next year’s budget. At the February budget workshop of the Rowan County Board of Commissioners, County Manager Gary Page recommended cutting funding to all nonprofit groups by 10 percent. Commissioner Carl Ford said at the board’s meeting Monday that he had been considering cuts of 15 percent to 20 percent to all nonprofits. “I found out that there are some of these we cannot cut at all, but there are some we could cut out,” Ford said. Ford made a motion to completely remove funding to the Rowan Arts Council ($22,991), Rowan Museum Inc. ($19,000) and the Salisbury-Rowan Human Relations Council ($3,500). He later amended his motion to reduce appropriations for the Rowan County Chamber of Commerce appropriation from $4,000 to $2,500 and by 10 percent for all groups that can be cut. The county can’t take away funding to the Cabarrus-Rowan MPO, Iredell Soil and Water (Third Creek Watershed), N.C. Forest Service, Rufty-Holmes Senior Center and the YadkinPee Dee Lakes Project. The county currently funds 18 nonprofit groups. The proposed changes would reduce the amount spent on nonprofits by about

Onset of spring weather speeds up construction of I-85 bridge N.C. Department of Transportation
SALISBURY — After a cold and snowy winter, springtime temperatures are helping crews ramp up construction work on replacing the Yadkin River bridge and improving Interstate 85 in Rowan and Davidson counties, state officials said. Now that the ground has thawed, they can complete clearing work on the Davidson County side of the Yadkin River and begin to move dirt at the N.C. 150 interchange. “Hauling dirt may not

Department of Transportation Division 9 engineer. “We need to move about 40,000 truckloads of dirt to build the new I-85 bridges over the Yadkin River, and create an even foundation for the new and improved N.C. 150 interchange.” Crews started clearing dirt and trees from the construction site along I-85 last fall.

work on the Rowan County side of the river and 75 percent of the work on the Davidson side. The amount of material removed totaled 65,000 cubic yards — enough to fill 20 Olympic-sized swimming pools. With warmer weather on their side, crews are now clearing the remaining 15 acres on the Davidson side of the river. They expect to finish that process by Friday. The work will provide the space needed to realign and widen nearly 3.5 miles of I-85 from north of Long Ferry

n Saturday, April 16, the City of Salisbury will have a big day. Since Salisbury has been designated as a “Fit Community” for the past three years, this day will be a celebration of that status. The events will also commemorate Earth Day. Lots of DAVID partners have FREEZE played a part in the big event. Sponsoring organizations include the State Employees Credit Union, Earth Grains Bread, Salisbury Academy, Rowan Partnership for Community Health, Sportrax, Whimziggy, Rowan Cabarrus Community College, Davidson Community College, Catawba College, Rowan Regional Medical Center and the Salisbury Rowan Runners. Proceeds from the event will benefit the 2011 Relay for Life. Volunteers from Relay for Life and other sponsors will be on hand as course and finish-line workers. Besides the 10K Run (6.2 miles), there will be a 5K Health Walk and a Kids’ Fun Run. City Park and the Salisbury Greenway System will be featured on the 10K course. All participants in the 10K and 5K Health Walk will get a dri-fit shirt and refreshments. Age group and overall winners in the 10K will be eligible for awards designed by Whimziggy, who also provided the race logo. Salisbury Parks and Recreation and the Salisbury Rowan Runners have been offering 10 Weeks to 10K that will culminate with the event on April 16. Mike Richards, a long-
affected by the cutoff. Parker, a Larry spokesman for the state Employment Security Commission, said about 37,000 people statewide will be affected by the program being terminated. He couldn’t say Monday evening how many of those people live in Rowan or Cabarrus counties. Parker said certain “triggers” turn the Extended Benefits Program on and off. North Carolina began paying the benefits after the state unemployment rate averaged more than 6.5 percent for the three months ending October 2008. The program ended because the average state jobless rate for December through February fell below 110 percent of the average for the same period the previous two years. “So that triggers off the Extended Benefits program, meaning that all payments are gone as of the 16th,” Parker said. The benefits that jobless North Carolina residents will lose access to came after other programs had been exhausted and had meant that long-term unemployed people could get up to 99 weeks of benefits. Now that maximum will be 79 weeks. In all of the programs, the length of eligibility is determined by the amount a person worked before losing a job. The benefits paid are determined by how

adding jobs here and there. But some employers are opting to use temporary agencies because they feel uncertain about the economy. Davis said more than 400 job applicants turned out for a job fair her office held last week, and the 25 employers who participated seemed to be pleased with the results. In January, Rowan's jobless rate was 12 percent. Davis said 8,249 people were unemployed and 2,353 received unemployment benefits. For those who remain unemployed after their initial 26 weeks of benefits, the filing period for Emergency Unemployment Compensation program has been extended to Jan. 3, 2012. But people who have exhausted eligibility under that program will not be able to apply for more benefits, state officials said.

Built in two phases, the I85 Corridor Improvement Project includes widening a total of 6.1 miles of I-85 from four lanes to eight lanes, replacing eight bridges and reconstructing the Belmont Road interchange.

fast downhill start and a long downhill and flat finish highlight a scenic course that has a net elevation loss. Activities for families and spectators will also be available. Games and an obstacle course for children are planned for the City Park area. “Touch a Truck,” an event to let anyone see and feel the trucks used by city employees, will follow shortly after the completion of the running/walking events. Morehead sums it all up by saying, “Running with other people makes a world of difference. I feel stronger and better about myself, and I know it will be an accomplishment to run a 10K. My family and new running friends will be proud of me for doing it.” So will those who are collecting the race proceeds for Relay for Life and those who are celebrating Salisbury’s “Fit Community” status. Race/ Walk events start with registration for the events at 6:45 a.m. The 10K starts at 8 a.m., the 5K Walk at 8:05 a.m. and the Fun Run at 8:10 a.m. Race headquarters will be at the City Park Center and Shelter No. 1 nearby.

time runner, had experienced some health issues over the last few years. “The 10K class offered me an opportunity to get back into running. I’ve done marathons and used to enjoy adventure runs. Several vertebrae in my back were fused, and my doctor OK’d me running again. So here I am,” Richards said. Deborah Howell joined the 10K class for another reason. She will honor her friend and co-worker Cindy Webb with her participation. Webb recently had cancer surgery, and the association with Relay for Life made a perfect fit. Howell is raising money at Partners in Learning for Webb’s expenses as she runs the race. “My effort will be much easier than Cindy’s, though I had not run a step in 20 years. A 10K has been on my bucket list, and I can’t let others down. It is a great motivator,” Howell said. Randy Miller has been a regular runner, though only in 5Ks. He wanted to get in better shape and complete the longer distance. “I know I can finish, and I will use this as a stepping stone to completing a marathon one day,” he said. Jamie Morehead, another class member, echoes many of the same reasons for participation. She wanted to be in better shape, and to get back into running. “I found new friends who have banded together to prepare for the race. My goal was to get back into running and complete a new challenge. It will be fun.” Runners will compete over a course that highlights the many neighborhoods around City Park, the Greenway, Rowan Regional Hospital, and the golf course area near the Country Club. A

much that person earned, Parker said. Here’s how unemployment benefits progress: A person who loses a job is eligible for up to 26 weeks of regular unemployment benefits. When that eligibility is exhausted, a federal program called Emergency Unemployment Compensation kicks in for anyone who is eligible. The unemployed progress through four tiers with a total of 53 weeks of benefits possible. Until now, after a jobless person went through the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program, the state’s Extended Benefits Program took effect. With the end of that program, those people will have no others to turn to, Parker said. The bad news for the longterm unemployed comes as the state sees some good jobs news. The state’s unemployment rate dropped to 9.7 percent in February as 17,400 jobs were added.

“If you don’t develop good vision, you can have major problems in school” DR. MELANIE DENTON Optometrist
exam on an infant is not without its challenges, Denton said. “They can’t tell you what they see, so we do a lot of adaptation.” Denton holds up two paddles. One is solid and one has black and white stripes. In using the paddles, Denton reveals the striped area slowly by holding the solid paddle on top, and watches how an infant’s eyes follow that area. “We use a lot of toys,” she says. “It looks like we’re playing a game.” But Denton is constantly watching how the infant’s eyes follow or track the movements of small finger puppets, for example.
Assessment, “really starts the moment you walk into the room,” she said. She tests how infants react to a light shined in their eyes. She covers each eye and evaluates their separate movements. Evaluation is a good tool to help children before they reach school age. “If you don’t develop good vision,” she said, “you can have major problems in school.” Laura Villegas agreed. She is Smart Start’s Director of Programs and recently had her own child’s eyes examined by Denton. “Most parents don’t realize or
know they should take a child for an eye exam while they are young,” said Villegas, mom to Melana, 3. “Dr. Denton was absolutely fantastic. Melana was nervous, but Dr. Denton had a lot of fun games. She made it a fun experience for Melana’s first exam. I just felt like I had gotten the full care that I needed. It was a really positive experience.” Denton said she enjoys working with her youngest patients. “I think it’s fun,” she says. “I like the little ones. They can be a challenge.” A native of Michigan, Denton joined Hennie’s practice Aug. 1. She’s a graduate of the University of Michigan and the Michigan College of Optometry. She completed residencies at the University of Miami and the Duke Eye Center. Parents of infants ages 6 months to 1 year can call 704-633-2581 to schedule a free, 30-minute appointment.
B Y C YNTHIA H OOPER SALISBURY — Just before sunset Sunday evening, Cherri Foytlin and the rest of the Road to Washington crew arrived in Salisbury, almost the halfway point in their walk from Louisiana to Washington, D.C. Foytlin, the mother of six children ages 3 to 14, is heading 1,250 miles to Washington because she believes the situation surrounding last April’s oil rig explosion and spill FOYTLIN in the gulf needs more attention. By walking between 26 and 40 miles per day, she is hoping to raise more awareness of the impact the disaster had. “It is a rescue mission to me,” Foytlin said. “I love the people and I love the Gulf Coast, and I’ll do whatever it takes to get help for them.” Foytlin writes for the Scott Connection, her local newspaper, and had the opportunity with the Louisiana Press Association to tour the oil spill, just as it hit. They went on a tour with the governor and she felt as though they were shown only what the guides wanted them to see, missing a connec-

tion with the people affected. She went back to the area a week later and was able to go out on a boat with a local fisherman and his young son to tour areas that she had not seen previously. During that time, they came across a pelican in the water that had been heavily oiled and was suffering. They decided to take it to a bird-cleaning area and along the way realized they would not make it in time. They idled the boat and all sat there looking at the bird, crying as it died. The little boy cried because all he wanted to do was be a fisherman, and it was like their whole life was gone. Foytlin said something changed in her heart at that moment. “I felt like the truth was not being told. I was watching TV and the president said 75 percent of the oil was gone, but I was sitting on a
boat in the middle of the marsh with oil all around us and I was like, what are you talking about?” she said. “I think that is the first time I realized that what you hear and see on TV is not true. That made me wonder about all the other things that I heard and saw.” Foytlin’s husband lost his oil rig job following a moratorium on offshore drilling, and many other people have lost their livelihoods and are suffering health issues following the spill, she said. The impact on the environment is also an issue that Foytlin hopes to find help with. To her, the walk is as much about activism as saving her family. Foytlin, who walked out of Salisbury on Monday morning, left New Orleans two weeks ago and will visit 33 cities along her journey, compiling information to take with her to Washington. She has high hopes for her time in there. “Hopefully meet with members of Congress, hopefully the President himself, to get them to understand our problems,” she said. Foytlin is traveling with a group that includes musician Drew Landry, who worked for a commercial craw-fisherman in southwest Louisiana and was also affected by the oil spill. The group also includes a documentary film crew. Landry says the oil companies are trying to divide the oil workers and the fishermen when they
are really one and the same. “Say you are a craw-fisherman and you don’t get enough water in the basin. If the water is too low, then you can crab, but if you can’t do either, then you go work in the oil field. I think they try to divide us, but we’re really all the same person because we hunt and fish on oil LANDRY leases. They thought they could play the environmentalists against those who work in the oil field, but the oil field workers want to be able to hunt and fish and they care about the next generation. They’re just normal people.” Andre and Tonia Smith, from Columbia, S.C., joined the walk on part of its route through the Carolinas.

Flying butcher knife follows argument Police say two women got into an alcohol-fueled argument Saturday afternoon that led to a butcher knife being thrown across a kitchen, sending one of the women to the hospital. According to a Salisbury Police report, Pearl Clawson and Geneva Marshall were hanging out at Clawson’s home at 520 E. Liberty St. Saturday afternoon around 2:15. ClawCLAWSON son said something about her mother who recently passed away, and how she can’t get over the death, and Marshall told her she needed to get over it, the report said. Clawson was accused of grabbing a butcher knife, standing in the doorway of the kitchen and throwing it at Marshall. The knife sliced open Marshall's forehead and police and EMS were called. Marshall was taken to Rowan Regional Medical Center, and Clawson was charged. Pearl Elizabeth Clawson, 63, of 520 E.

Smart Start Rowan
Most children have their first eye exam before entering kindergarten, but most critical stages of vision development occur within the first year of life, and problems can be treated, if caught early. That’s why optometrist Dr. Melanie Denton, an associate with Dr. Tim Hennie, participates in the InfantSEE program, a screening program for infants ages 6 to 12 months. In honor of the Week of the Young Child, Denton and Smart Start Rowan are collaborating to bring awareness to the importance of children’s vision. On Saturday, April 16, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Denton is conducting free eye and vision assessments at the optometry office, 1910 W. Jake Alexander Blvd. Denton acknowledges that most children don’t have their eyes checked before the kindergarten screening. Denton says that conducting an infant eye exam when a child is between 6 and 9 months of age checks for vision, eye movement and to ensure that the child’s eyes are healthy. When a baby is born, he or she can only focus a short distance, Denton said. Their vision gets better as they grow. “It’s a learned skill they’re developing throughout childhood,” she says. Although eye problems in infants are unusual, early screening helps detect these problems. For example, Denton says, 1 in 30 infants will develop amblyopia (“lazy eye”); 1 in 25 will develop strabismus (crossed eyes) and 1 in 33 will show significant refractive error (vision that requires correction with glasses or contacts). Eye cancer affects 1 in 20,000 infants. The sooner these problems are found, Denton says, the better the chance that the affected eye can be saved. Of course, conducting an eye

Powerline zaps Granite Quarry street work GRANITE QUARRY — The relocation of a power line has led to major delays in construction of the Brookwood Drive culvert. The project’s contractor has pulled off the job until a Duke Energy-approved design is in place and additional easements from at least two property owners are secured. Already under construction, the project will be held up for several weeks, possibly months. Mayor Pro Tem Bill Feather peppered project manager Jeff Moody with questions Monday night about how communications broke down among the engineering firm, contractor and Duke Energy. He said the town should not have started without the power line issues being resolved, and he laid much of the blame with Moody’s engineering firm and poor communication. Feather said the delay is unfair to the contractor and residents dealing with the construction. “It just seems to me this is being poorly managed,” Feath-
In other action: The Granite Quarry Board of Aldermen also considered these matters Monday night: • To save money on its power bill, the board decided that Granite Lake Park and Civic Park will be open from sun up to sundown. Meanwhile, lights for the ball field and tennis courts at Civic Park will only be available until 9 p.m. As of now, lights are available from 6-10 p.m., and they often are left on, even though no one is playing tennis or using the ballfield. Town Manager Dan Peters said the lights at Granite Lake Park cost $500 a month, while the tennis courts and ball field each cost $17 an hour. • The board approved the placement of three park signs that advise of a state law requiring bikers under the age of 16 to wear helmets. Cost for the three signs will be $90 total. The recommendation came from the Parks, Events and Recreation Commission. • The board approved an agreement with the N.C. Department of Transportation for gates and signal lights on Kerns and Church streets, as part of the town’s earlier commitment to close the Lyerly Street crossing.
the poles. Feather asked what the additional costs will be of relocating the power line. Moody said roughly $5,000. Feather said he was disappointed this was the second culvert project in which the town was hit by additional costs after the projects started. Moody, who works for Alley, Williams, Carmen and King of Kannapolis, was called into the project last week and has been communicating with the contractor and Duke Energy since then. “I’m starting the oversight on this project,” he said. “I’m trying to be as responsive as possible.” He said the engineers will make sure property owners continued to have access, and an inspector will monitor the construction area after rains. Mayor Mary Ponds thanked the residents for their patience and apologized for the inconvenience. “I want us to do whatever needs to be done and do it correctly,” she said. In another matter, Town Manager Dan Peters gave aldermen sobering news on revenue projections and how they
The DOT will waive the town’s 10 percent share of the installation costs on the two streets, and Granite Quarry will only have to pay half of the annual maintenance charges, meaning $3,000 a year total. • Fire Chief David Morris introduced two new firefighters, Emaleigh Herring and Greg Philpott. • Granite Quarry will be host April 16 for a firemen’s muster at Civic Park (West Peeler and North Oak streets). So far seven departments are confirmed, with more entries expected. • The board approved a resolution to sell 14 surplus items, including two Crown Victoria cars and a Chevrolet truck, on the website GovDeals. • The town will sponsor its annual Easter Egg Hunt April 17 at Civic Park. The hunt begins at 2 p.m. • The “Plants in the Park” event will be held from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. April 30 at Granite Lake Park. The public will be able to purchase plants, flowers and birdhouses from high school agricultural and shop classes and local clubs. • The Nathan Brown House 5K Run will be held April 30, and South Main Street (Old 80) is expected to be closed from 8-10 a.m. between U.S. 52 and Bank Street.
compare to 2008. Property tax revenues will be down from 2008 by $105,200; sales tax, $116,351; investment earnings, $49,999; and franchise taxes, $17,978. The total loss in revenues over three years is projected at $289,528, which translates to 14 cents per $100 valuation on the property tax rate. Peters noted that the town has made many cuts in expenses over that period, so the effect on the tax rate would not be that severe, but “we’re in a situation, as we all know.” “We’re looking at every penny,” Peters said in preparing a budget for 2011-12.

er said. Duke Energy is required by OSHA to have a design for moving the power line. Randy Welch explained how Duke must know what specific clearances are required for equipment such as cranes or backhoes. The information is important for safety reasons. From the beginning of the project, Moody said, engineers knew Duke would need this information but until a contract was awarded, they didn’t know who the contractor would be and what equipment would be used. After work started, Moody said his firm asked the contractor to supply the information so it could be forwarded to Duke Energy, but it didn’t happen until last Friday. Meanwhile, the contractor has stopped work until Duke’s design is ready. Welch said Duke will try to do its design work over the next several weeks, but other variables could add to the delay. The property easements have to be negotiated. Plus, cable and telephone lines also will have to be relocated on

CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Town Board adopted a water shortage response ordinance Monday. The ordinance outlines procedures to reduce water demand and supplement existing drinking water supplies when sources are considered inadequate. “If something was to happen we would have guidelines to go by if for some reason we started running out of water, which several years ago is something a lot of people were worried about when we were going through a drought,” Mayor Pro Tem Danny Gabriel said. The plan includes the following five stages: Voluntary reductions — All water users will be asked to reduced their normal water use by 5 percent. Mandatory reductions I — All customers are expected to reduce their water use by 20 percent in comparison to the previous month’s water bill; irrigation is limited to a half inch per week between 8 p.m. and 8 p.m.; outdoor use of drinking after for washing impervious
surfaces is prohibited; all testing and training purposes requiring drinking water such as fire protection will be limited. Mandatory reductions II — Customers must continue actions from all previous stages and further reduce water by 20 percent compared ot thier previous month’s water bill, all non-essential uses of drinking water are banned. Emergency reductions — Customers must continue all actions from previous stages and further reduce their water use by 25 percent compared to their previous month’s water bill, a ban on all use of drinking water except to protect public health and safety. Water rationing — Provide drinking water to protect public health, all customers are only permitted to use water at the minium required for public health protection, firefighting is the only allowable outdoor water use. If the ordinance goes into effect, the town maintenence department and police personnel will enforce it through warnings and fines between $250 and $500. Well operating conditions such as pumping times and levels are also subject to re-
strictions. Town Clerk Cathy Payne said there are currently no issues with water shortages. She said the town opted to create it’s own plan rather than falling under the umbrella of state guidelines, which after more strict. Cleveland’s water shortage plan follows state guidelines and was approved by state officials prior to Monday’s meeting. Contact reporter Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

pression.” Arbe said that he hopes his story will be a lesson for veterans across the country, and already has made the process easier for his older brother, who is also not a citizen but served in the U.S. Marine Corps. “With what we had to go through it’s going to make it easier for someone else,” he said. “I know there are several veterans that I served with ... they have no clue. “It’s a crying shame that we had to go through such heartache to get to the point where we are now... I feel like Mr. Bojangles because I’ve been tap dancing a lot.”

Then I’d make a couple more phone calls and they’d say you need these certificates.” The Arbelaez’ had to call Arbe’s birthplace of Cali, Colombia, to get a copy of his birth certificate, and then they dealt with the Colombian consulate in New York City. “People were rude at the consulate,” Ann said. “They don’t care one bit if it doesn’t benefit them,” Arbe said of the consulate and several government agencies. “They would fax me a letter, but I couldn’t fax it back to them, I had to mail it back to them,” Ann said. “It was all just hurry up and wait.” Their marriage certificate had to be sent through certified mail, and had to be a certified copy. Arbe’s school records had to be found in New Jersey and sent to immigration. His parent’s marriage certficate and divorce decree had to be found and sent. “They kept dangling the carrot, and they’d say, wait, you need something else,” Arbe said. So they finally got everything together, sent it in, and the passport application was stopped again. Arbe said a woman in the immigration office in Washington, D.C., whose name, was “Patience,” blocked his paperwork for eight months. “She was constantly on leave,” he said. “She was probably working one day a week.” “As far as we know she still has (the application),” Ann said.
Deportation? With the paperwork finally in to immigration, the Arbelaez’ waited. And waited. And waited some more. They finally decided to contact Elizabeth Dole’s office for help. But Arbe said

Raul arbelaez, in the red jacket, salutes during the Pledge of allegiance. his request fell through the cracks. And in October, Arbe faced the biggest hurdle yet. He was threatened with criminal charges and deportation for voting. “The immigration office in Charlotte said I had committed a felony for voting, and I could be deported,” Arbe said. Arbe had to visit the Rowan County Board of Elections office and withdraw himself from voter registration, then fill out a form stating when and where he voted, and explain why he voted though he wasn’t a U.S. citizen. “At the time I assumed I was a U.S. citizen,” Arbe said. He was told by immigration officials in Charlotte that the voting form was to go before a panel that would vote on whether or not to grant him citizenship, or
“They would tell me, well, you need to talk to this person, and then to another person, tell me I need this form, and then tell me nevermind, you need this one. Then I’d make a couple more phone calls and they’d say you need these certificates.” ANN ARBELAEZ Wife

cause I had to pull over because I was devastated,” he said. In late December, the office of Sen. Richard Burr, RN.C., stepped in, sending him a letter to let him know staff members were following his paperwork and were in contact with the immigration department. Arbe believes the inquiries from Burr’s office sped up the process. Burr and an employee from his Winston-Salem office, Rene Collins, were guided by Arbe and Ann, and also by Rodney Cress an advocate for veterans. “Without Rodney Cress and Senator Burr’s office, we’d probably still be a year or two away,” Arbe said. “Rodney let me just rip his ears off. He was my sounding board. And he still took it with a smile and gave me some great advice, and he’s become a very dear friend of mine.”
Arbe isn’t alone Arbe had all three qualifications to become a U.S. citizen: He’s been married to an American for 17 years; he served in the U.S. military; and he’s been a resident of the U.S. for more than five years without leaving the country. He was given a Social Security card, he registered to vote when he was in the military, he’s been paying taxes, and he even received unemployment payments. “So somebody wasn’t doing their job,” Ann said. When Arbe found out he wasn’t a citizen, he says he was “heartbroken.” “That was a slap in the face for me,” he said. “Because since we started this, I was literally a man without a country. I didn’t know if I belonged. “I was stuck in limbo for so long, I went into a de-
On Wednesday, Arbe, Ann and Rodney Cress embraced each other after the citizenship ceremony was over. Arbe and Ann called the experience “surreal.” “It was the landslide we were looking for, it was just slow and the last week it really picked up,” Arbe said. “This is a good day.” Cress said the outcome was “well worth the effort,” and called Arbe an “exceptional citizen.” “Arbe has served his community and the Marines extremely well by setting the example of leadership and volunteerism,” Cress said. “He should have been made a citizen years ago after serving faithfully in the Marines but unfortunately he got caught up in government red tape.” Arbe returned to Salisbury after the ceremony and headed straight for the board of elections to register anew as an American voter. And surprisingly he almost forgot to fill in the most important box — “Are you a U.S. citizen?” Staff pointed out the oversight and he fixed it. “I’m legal,” he said.

Decision on funeral home delayed CUTS FROM 1a BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
The Rowan County Board of Commissioners delayed a decision on a rezoning Monday that would allow a funeral home to be built near High Rock Lake. On behalf of Annie BooneCarroll, real estate agent Cathy Shoaf submitted a rezoning request for a 1-acre property at 4725 Long Ferry Road from rural agricultural to commercial, business and industrial. Boone-Carroll wants to convert a vacant 2,720-squarefoot convenience store on the property into a funeral home. She said she is a 27-year veteran of the business. When Commissioner Raymond Coltrain asked why she chose a location outside a municipality, Boone-Carroll said the options she found in Landis, Kannapolis and Concord were too expensive. “When I viewed this location, the building was something that fit my budget for a starter business,� she said. Eight neighbors and a fire chief spoke against the rezoning during the public hearing. Many were concerned about increased traffic for services and clogged roads during funeral processions. Bobby Fox, chief of the Miller Ferry Fire Department, said he is concerned about keeping the way clear for emergency responders. Long Ferry Road goes on for about 2.8 miles past the proposed funeral home location, with no outlet and no access to other roads. About 1,400 residents live in communities in that area, Fox said. “There are no other outlets for response,� he said. “You have 1,400 residents who will be impacted by this in a very negative manner.� In addition, some raised concerns that a nearby curve limits sight distance and could cause accidents if people park along the road. James Morton, the design firm representing Boone-Carroll, said the planned 31 parking places would be “more than adequate� for a small, 80-
seat chapel. He said employees will help control parking for funerals, along with an off-duty deputy. “I think the neighbors will be proud of how the building looks when it’s refurbished,� Morton said. “This will be a positive addition to the community.� Boone-Carroll said she has been in contact with the N.C. Department of Transportation about putting “no parking� signs on the road and would notify emergency services when funerals occur. Georgina Turner, who lives near the property on Hedrick Lambe Drive, said neither of those measures are enough. “For us who live past the funeral home, will we have to wait for EMS to be let through?� Turner said. Neighbors also said they were concerned about groundwater contamination from embalming fluids, because properties in that area use well water and septic tanks. Morton said Boone-Carroll is avoiding formaldehyde in favor of safer fluids, which will be disposed of safely. Nearby resident James Baker said the property used to be a gas station and called it outrageous� that four underground fuel tanks have not been removed. The current owner of the property, Patricia Jordan, said the tanks have been cleaned while in the ground. “The EPA and hazardous waste folks have been out there over the years to make sure there is nothing left there to contaminate,� Jordan said. “It’s been declared safe with no runoff.� Commissioner Jim Sides asked if the planning board had discussed the fuel tanks, and Planner Andy Goodall said he didn’t think so. “Was there official documentation from the EPA releasing any issues with those tanks?� Sides said. He also asked if there were records of the cleanup. Jordan and a couple of neighbors then offered to submit documents for the record. Chairman Chad Mitchell said the board may want
In other business Rowan County Commissioners also: • Approved beginning the upset bid process for a $160,000 offer from Dallas Winecoff to purchase a property at 6205 Mooresville Highway. The house was formerly used as a group home but has been vacant since 2006. • Approved a permit to exceed noise standards from Blue Waters Recreation Inc. for a Relay for Life event from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. on May 7. • Discussed a N.C. Association of County Commissioners questionnaire. Commissioners agreed that the county’s No. 1 issue of concern about the state budget is shifting responsibilities to counties, and its No. 1 non-budget-related legislative issue is involuntary annexation. • Recognized the North Rowan High School Men’s Varsity Basketball Team as 1A State Champions and the Salisbury High School Women’s Varsity Basketball Team as 2A State Champions. • Approved the use of pyrotechnics for the fireworks display at Kannapolis Intimidators baseball games. • Approved a limited fixed-base operator agreement for Amos Aviation with changes made at the March 7 meeting.
to continue the public hearing until May 2 to allow time to review the documents. Sides made the motion and the board approved it. Also at Monday’s meeting, commissioners unanimously voted in favor of rezoning 5 acres off Grubb Ferry Road from rural agricultural to industrial conditional use for a sand dredging and mining operation along the Yadkin River. Carolina Sand Inc. told the county that additional acreage is needed to meet a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requirement to avoid and minimize impacts to wetland areas.
$129,000 to a total of $949,000. Commissioner Jim Sides seconded the motion with the exception of Rowan Vocational Opportunities Inc. It passed 4-1, with Commissioner Raymond Coltrain dissenting. Coltrain said he didn’t think the board could make an informed decision before getting more information from the county manager about next year’s budget. “I certainly cannot agree with cutting these three out totally,� Coltrain said. “We have to cut back some, but it should be shared equally.� Chairman Chad Mitchell responded that votes affecting the fiscal year 2011-12 budget are not final until the budget is approved. “It does give these groups some indication of what we may be thinking, instead of surprising them on June 15 and removing the appropriations,� Mitchell said. Giving groups direction now is a good thing, Commissioner Jon Barber said, but there might be some that can’t afford to lose county money when donations and grants also are going down. Sides pointed out that the county is reducing funding to all of its other departments this year by a total of $2 million. “The county itself has made cuts for the past three years,� Sides said. “We’ve asked none of the nonprofits to do that.� Commissioner Carl Ford agreed, saying the county put this off as long as it could. “We’re trying to be as fair as we can be,� Ford said, “and ask everybody to help us out in these tough times.� Contact reporter Karissa Minn at 704-797-4222.

In the statehouse Actions taken by legislators in Raleigh on Monday: State health plan: Higher copays, deductibles and mandated monthly premiums for all active North Carolina state workers and teachers are in Republican-penned legislation receiving final approval at the Legislature and headed to Gov. Beverly Perdue’s desk. The Senate voted 31-18 in favor of changes made by the House last week that are part of a proposal to close a $515 million State Health Plan shortfall through mid-2013. The biggest change would require premiums generally between $11 and $22 per month for more than 322,000 active workers. Retirees who keep a more generous insurance tier also would have to pay premiums. Perdue must decide whether to sign the bill, use her veto stamp or let the bill become law without her signature. The governor’s budget included some employee premiums. Community colleges: Community colleges wouldn’t be forced to participate in the federal student loan program in legislation heading to Gov. Beverly Perdue’s desk. The measure given final legislative approval in a 31-18 party-line Senate vote reverses a 2010 law requiring all 58 campuses to join the low-interest loan program by July 1. Thirty-eight campuses didn’t participate as of earlier this year. Campus leaders and Republican legislators backing the reversal say campus trustees should decide whether they want students to incur debt. Democratic amendments designed to discourage high-interest private loans or require more campus reporting were defeated. Bill opponents said the opt-outs would make it harder for low-income students to change careers. Sunshine amendment: An effort to make it harder to keep public records secret or to close government meetings has been delayed again in the North Carolina House after lawmakers question the usefulness of the measure without a
constitutional amendment. The House Rules Committee adjourned without taking action on a “sunshine� bill that would require exceptions to open-government laws receive a three-fifths vote of House and Senate members present. Committee members questioned whether such a measure had any force since legislators could amend the law with a simple majority. An earlier version of the bill would have enshrined the supermajority rule in a constitutional amendment, but it didn’t have enough support on the floor. Bill sponsor Rep. Stephen LaRoque, R-Lenoir, says he will try another version of the amendment. Banking commissioner: The General Assembly has agreed Joseph Smith Jr. should become North Carolina’s banking commissioner again after his nomination for a federal financial post fell short. The House completed the Legislature’s confirmation of Smith to the commissioner’s job. Both chambers agreed unanimously with Gov. Beverly Perdue’s choice of Smith to remain commissioner for the next four years. The Obama administration nominated Smith in November to lead the federal agency that oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. But Smith withdrew in January after he failed to get confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Smith has been North Carolina’s banking commissioner since 2002. Senate clerk: The Senate elected by acclamation a former spokeswoman for nowSenate leader Phil Berger, RRockingham, to become the next principal clerk in the chamber. Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton administered the oath to Sarah Clapp immediately after her election. Clapp is a former lobbyist for the Wildlife Resources Commission who previously worked for Berger when he was minority leader. Clapp has been working in the clerk’s office this session. She replaces Janet Pruitt, who resigned late last week after 14 years as the chamber’s chief administrator.

21st century segregation Needed: Grand bargains hich do you think is the most segregated city in America? Birmingham, Ala.? Jackson, Miss.? Columbia, S.C.? Richmond, Va., or some other bastion of the old South? Not even close. The most segregated urban area in the United States, according to one study of 2010 Census data, is Milwaukee, Wisc. In fact, of the 10 most segregated cities, none is in the South. The other nine are: New York, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Los Angeles. Peruse a list of the largest 100 metro areas ranked from most-segregated to least, and the first Southern city to appear is Birmingham, at No. 16. Atlanta is ranked 41, while the CharlotteGastonia-Concord area comes in at 62 and Raleigh is way down the list at 87. The rankings were compiled by CensusScope.org and the University of Michigan’s Social Science Data Analysis Network. They are based on a sociological measure called a “dissimilarity index,” which calculates the number of people from one race who would have to move for races to be equally distributed across a particular demographic area. In an interesting commentary on the rankings at salon.com, writer Daniel Denvir notes: “We may think of segregation as a matter of ancient Southern history: lunch counter sit-ins, bus boycotts and Ku Klux Klan terrorism. But as the census numbers remind us, Northern cities have long had higher rates of segregation than in the South,” where whites and blacks tended to live in closer proximity, even during the Jim Crow era of separate and unequal. That’s not to argue that race relations are more harmonious in the South than elsewhere, and the study is looking at one particular way of crunching the numbers. Urban demographics reflect many different factors such as the local economy, education and income levels, historic migration and immigration trends as well as the impact of recent inflows of Latinos and Asian-Americans. Cities like Milwaukee and Detroit also have seen population changes as manufacturing losses left deep pockets of poverty in the central city, while higher paying jobs moved elsewhere. And as we’ve seen with the recent battle over busing in Wake County (and past conflicts in our own community), racial tensions often surface over school districts and educational opportunities. The most important conclusion isn’t that the North — or Midwest or West — is more segregated than the South, but that race continues to define — or limit, some would argue — where many of us live, work, worship and attend school. Such boundaries are slowly dissolving, but race continues to be a stark dividing line in many parts of America.

Common sense
(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)
Without music and dance, life is a journey through a desert. — Pat Conroy
Moderately confused
nce upon a long time ago, a tired man faced an audience of public workers. They were on a wildcat strike, demanding the right to bargain collectively and to have the city for which they worked automatically deduct union dues from their paychecks. The city’s conservative mayor had flatly refused these demands. “You are doing many things here in this struggle,” the tired man assured them. “You are demanding that this city will respect the dignity of labor.” Too LEONARD often, he said, PITTS folks looked down on people like them, people who did menial or unglamorous work. But he encouraged them not to bemoan their humble state. “All labor has dignity,” he said. On Monday, it was 43 years since that man was shot in an ambush and killed in Memphis, Tenn. Martin Luther King’s last public actions were in defense of labor and union rights. One wonders, then, what he would say of Wisconsin. Or Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Florida or any of the other places where, like a contagion, the move to weaken or effectively outlaw unions has spread. One wonders what he would make of a conservative governing ethos that now defines public employees — teachers, police officers, firefighters — as the enemy. Actually, we need not wonder what King would have said, because he already said it. In the speech quoted above, he warned that if America did not use its vast wealth to ensure its people “the basic necessities of life,” America was going to hell. The Baptist preacher in him reared up then, and his voice sang thunder. For all the nation’s achievements, he roared, for all its mighty airplanes, submarines and bridges, “It seems that I can hear the God of the universe saying, ‘Even though you have done all that, I was hungry and you fed me not. I was naked and you clothed me not. The children of my sons and daughters were in need of economic security and you didn't provide it for them.’ ” It will come as a surprise to some that the civil rights leader was also a labor leader, but he was. He had this in common with Asa Philip Randolph, who suffered long years of privation to establish the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. And with Walter Reuther, brutally beaten when he organized sit-down strikes that helped solidify the United Automobile Workers. And with Crystal Lee Sutton, inspiration for the movie “Norma Rae,” who lost her job for trying to unionize a textile plant in Roanoke Rapids, N.C. These people and many others fought to win the rights now being taken away. Granted, those rights have sometimes been abused — used to shelter the incompetent or reward the greedy. But to whatever degree our workplaces are not filled with children working adult hours, to whatever degree an employer is required to provide a clean and safe workplace, break time, sick time or fair wages, that also reflects organized labor’s legacy. It is instructive that this campaign to roll back that legacy is contemporaneous with a New York Times report on how General Electric earned $14.2 billion in profit last year, yet paid no U.S. taxes. Indeed, the Times says, GE netted a tax benefit of $3.2 billion. What’s it tell you that some of us are on the offensive against working people, but breathe scarcely a peep when a giant corporation somehow slips through government-provided loopholes, paying no taxes? If need is a character flaw, what, then, is greed? In some sense, we have traveled 43 years forward to get back to where we were in 1968. King would doubtless find that sobering. One is reminded of the axiom about those who will not learn from history. One is reminded of the quote about the price of freedom. And one is reminded of a song Billy Preston sang in the summer of 1973. “Will it go ‘round in circles?” he asked. Apparently, it already has. • • • Leonard Pitts is a columnist for the Miami Herald

ne last time: The United States will not solve its monumental problems — which threaten our future as a great nation — without a series of grand bargains between Republicans and Democrats. We need grand bargains to tame the burgeoning federal debt, which threatens the next generation’s ability to invest and grow — big bargains to reduce spending (especially entitlements) and reform taxes. We need bargains on energy policy to reduce our costly dependency on Middle East imports; on immigration to ensure that we can attract and keep skilled labor; on education to prepare our own kids for 21st-century competition; and on strategies to invest in infrastructure. We probably will need a grand bargain to rewrite President Barack Obama’s MORTON healthcare law, which the KONDRACKE Supreme Court may strike down, but which, if upheld, will impose enormous costs on the country. We’ll get the bargains only if Republicans and Democrats work together, because neither party is ever likely to so dominate the government that it can push through its entire agenda. Democrats had that power after the 2008 election — including 60 votes in the Senate and control of the House and White House — and promptly lost it through overreaching liberalism. Voters don’t want overreaching conservatism, either. This is a “one last time” call for bargains because, after 48 years in journalism and nearly 20 years writing this column, I am semi-retiring and leaving it to others to bang the gong for centrist problem-solving. There are many in U.S. politics who understand the need for bipartisan action to solve America’s problems — as witness the “gang of six” senators working to defuse the federal debt bomb before it brings down the U.S. economy. If archconservative Sen. Tom Coburn, ROkla., and ultraliberal Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., can agree to support the recommendations of Obama’s debt commission, there’s hope for the nation. If House Republican leaders can team up with moderate Democrats to keep the government running — and refuse to yield to TeaParty ideologues and the demagogic presidential wannabes and talk-radio blowhards who urge them on — there’s hope. If Republicans and Democrats can agree, as they did in the lame-duck session of the last Congress, to extend President George W. Bush’s tax cuts for two years and also extend

unemployment benefits and reduce payroll taxes, there’s hope. To be sure, that agreement involved dispensing largesse and increasing deficits. Defusing the debt bomb is going to require enormous political courage — which is why Republicans and Democrats have to do it together. Polls show that while the voters want deficits cut, they think it can be done simply by slashing foreign aid and raising taxes on the rich, not reducing Social Security, Medicare and middle-class tax breaks. And so-called leaders — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Democratic Conference Vice Chairman Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., come to mind — seem bent on making the task harder by claiming that Social Security benefits needn’t be touched. Where Obama fits in this picture is anything but clear. He appointed the SimpsonBowles commission, but he has yet to expend one erg of energy to help get it implemented. In fact, he has stipulated that retirement benefits shouldn’t be “slashed” — even though the commission actually proposed gradually extending the retirement age to 69 in 2075. The commission also proposed lifting the level of income subject to payroll taxes above its current $106,000 level. It’s a version of an idea floated by one of my favorite idea-activists, Rick Swartz, applying the principles of tax reform to Social Security by “broadening the base and lowering the rates,” i.e., taxing all income but cutting rates to encourage hiring. Entitlement and tax reform are both going to encounter fierce resistance from entrenched interests, starting with AARP and extending to Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform, which is currently attacking Coburn, of all people, for proposing to reduce tax breaks on business. If General Electric can make enormous profits and pay no taxes whatsoever, there is obviously a crying need for tax reform. Of the other bipartisan grand bargains that ought to be on the agenda, the one most possible this year would be on education reform, but at least there ought to be constructive debate on energy, immigration, health reform and infrastructure investment. Republicans and Democrats have this incentive to do the right thing: The public does not trust either party. But more important, polls show that most people think America’s best days are behind it. Without the bargains, they will be. • • • Morton Kondracke recently announced his retirement as executive editor of Roll Call, the newspaper of Capitol Hill.

The wedding ring debate Recently some people have criticized Prince William for saying he does not want to wear a wedding ring. One reason is that he chooses not to. Another reason is that several of his male family members do not. A third reason is that when military pilots or mechanics wear rings, they are a hazard to them around aircraft. It is too easy to have them snag on something or short out against some electrical component on the aircraft. I have worked on U.S. Army aircraft and autos as a mechanic.

(http://www.nccouncilofchurches.org/about/ members/) and found that several mainline Protestant churches support this organization, including the United Methodist Church (Western N.C. Conference). Why would the UMC financially support an organization that clearly agrees with homosexuality when both our Bibles and our Book of Discipline states otherwise? As most UMC members know, each local church is required to give offering money to pay their “apportionments.” The apportionment contributions fund the salaries of bishops and district superintendents, colleges, missions, various offices within the UMC such as the General Board of Church and Society in Washington, D.C., and apparently fund organizations such as the N.C. Council of Churches, to name a few. It appears that the funding for an organization such as the N.C. Council of Churches comes from the Interdenominational Cooperation Fund, which is one of the seven apportionment funds of the UMC (http://www.umcgiving.org/ site/ c.qwL6KkNWLrH/b.3595595/k.A38E/ Apportioned_Funds.htm). Brothers and sisters of the UMC, it is time to stop funding the apportionments and be prepared to do whatever it may take to separate from any organization that is clearly not representing the truth of the Bible. — Melany E.

Reporter finds knife at scene of killings ATLANTA (AP) — A newspaper reporter in Atlanta discovered a bloody knife Monday at a home where three people were stabbed to death, prompting police to investigate whether detectives missed a key piece of evidence. Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Rhonda Cook said she found the knife— with bright red blood on its blade — under a chair on the front porch, hours after police completed their investigation and removed crime scene tape from the home. She had gone to the neighborhood to interview people about the crime.
Cook, who has been a reporter since 1978, didn’t touch the knife. She called her editor and stayed on the phone with him while she knocked on the door, but no one answered, Cook said. Dekalb County police spokeswoman Mekka Parish said during the initial investigation Sunday detectives found what they believed to be the primary weapon. “There’s no question that additional evidence should have been collected and we will look into the oversight and take whatever disciplinary actions are deemed appropriate,” Parish said.

Lead 9/11 conspirator, four henchmen face military trials WASHINGTON (AP) — Yielding to political opposition, Attorney General Eric Holder announced Monday that 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four a l l e g e d henchmen will be referred to military commissions for trial rather than to a civilian federal court in New York. The fami- MOHAMMED lies of those killed in the Sept. 11 attacks have waited almost a decade for justice, and “it must not be delayed any longer,” Holder told a news conference. Holder had announced the earlier plan for trial in New York City in November 2009, but that foundered amid widespread opposition to a civilian court trial from Republicans and even some Democrats, particularly in New York. Congress passed legislation that prohibits bringing any detainees from the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to the United States. Monday, the attorney general called the congressional restrictions unwise and unwarranted and said a legislative body cannot make prosecutorial decisions. Most Republicans applauded the turnabout, but Holder said he is still convinced that his earlier decision was the right one. The Justice Department had been prepared to bring “a powerful case” in civilian court, he said.
ing showdown, demanding Democrats agree to more than $33 billion in swift cuts to avoid a government shutdown at the same time they readied a separate plan to slash deficits by a staggering $4 trillion over a decade. With little progress evident on the first track, President Barack Obama invited key lawmakers to the White House in search of a deal to avoid a partial shutdown Friday at midnight. “Time is of the essence,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney, announcing plans for today’s meeting. House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio said he would attend on behalf of Republicans. But he also emphasized in a statement that the $33 billion total often cited “is not enough and many of the cuts that the White House and Senate Democrats are talking about are full of smoke and mirrors.” Boehner has said repeatedly he does not want a shutdown. Yet a new public opinion poll underscored the political dilemma confronting the leader of a conservative majority swept into power with the support of tea party supporters. In a survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, 68 percent of tea party adherents said lawmakers should stick to their principles in the budget negotiations, even if it means the government shuts down.
public statement from the White House in favor of an email sent to millions of supporters. He offered a kickoff video in which official Washington is ignored and even Obama himself only makes a fleeting appearance. What the campaign wanted voters to see instead were people like them speaking of real-life concerns and their faith in him, against wholesome backdrops: a church, a farm, a family in a kitchen, an American flag. Yet this time around, Obama carries both the benefits and baggage of being the establishment candidate.
Small cracks found in three more jets PHOENIX (AP) — Three more Southwest Airlines jetliners have small, subsurface cracks that are similar to the ones suspected in the fuselage tear on another of its planes. Federal aviation officials are considering an order for other airlines to inspect their aircraft. Boeing said Monday that it will issue guidance this week on how airlines should do checks on the affected airplanes now in service. The 5-foot-long hole tore open Friday in the passenger cabin roof shortly after the Southwest plane carrying 118 people left Phoenix for Sacramento, Calif. It made a rapid descent, landing at a military base in Yuma, 150 miles southwest of Phoenix. No one was seriously hurt. Since then, Southwest grounded 79 other Boeing 737300s and began inspecting them. The grounding caused about 600 flight cancellations over the weekend and another 70 on Monday. Nineteen inspected aircraft showed no problems and will be returned to service. Checks on the remaining jets are expected to be completed by late today, the airline said.

Radioactive water dumped into the sea TOKYO (AP) — Workers began pumping more than 3 million gallons of contaminated water from Japan’s tsunami-ravaged nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean on Monday, freeing storage space for even more highly radioactive water that has hampered efforts to stabilize the reactors. It will take about two days to pump most of the less-radioactive water out of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex, whose cooling systems were knocked out by the magnitude-9.0 earthquake and tsunami on March 11.

to financially and diplomatically suffocate Gbagbo. Forces backing Ouattara launched a dramatic offensive last week, seizing control of the administrative capital and other towns before heading toward Abidjan. On Monday, the U.N. helicopter fired on Gbagbo’s troops to prevent them from using heavy weapons at the Akouedo camp in Abidjan, said Nick Birnback, the spokesman for the U.N. Department of Peacekeeping Operations. The military base houses Gbagbo’s arsenal.

BREGA, Libya (AP) — Rebel fighters pushed back into this hard-fought oil town on Monday, seizing half of Brega and pledging to drive out Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi’s forces in hours in an advance that would open a vital conduit for oil sales by the oppostion. Control of Brega’s small refinery and Mediterranean port could significantly boost the rebels’ hunt for revenues they can use to purchase heavy weapons for the fight against Gadhafi’s betterequipped troops and militiamen. Lightly armed and loosely organized opposition forces have surged into and beyond Brega several times in recent weeks from their strongholds in eastern Libya, only to be driven out by Gadhafi loyal-

ists exploiting the rebels’ inability to hold territory. In recent days the opposition has placed the front lines under the control of former military men, creating a more disciplined advance against Gadhafi’s forces. The opposition advanced under artillery fire throughout the day and took the streets of New Brega, a largely residential section separated from the town’s oil facilities by a stretch of highway and a university campus, where the rebels were battling Gadhafi fighters at close range.
MLK’s death tied to struggle for unions ATLANTA (AP) — The eldest son of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. said Monday if his father had not been killed 43 years ago, the civil rights icon would be fighting alongside the workers rallying to protect collective bargaining rights. Martin Luther King III said he will join marchers across the country on the anniversary of his father’s assassination, in support of workers’ rights. At the time of his death, King was in Memphis, Tenn., supporting a strike of black municipal sanitation workers. His son said the fight was for dignity and democracy, and he compares that struggle to the battle over collective bargaining rights in states including Wisconsin, Indiana and Ohio. “If he were with us, he would be very concerned that some Americans have chosen to focus on dismantling workers’ rights,” King III said. “Dad was killed in that context. He would want us to be engaged in that activity today.” Labor unions want to frame the debate as a civil rights issue, which could draw sympathy to public workers being blamed for busting state budgets with generous pensions. Arlene Holt Baker, executive vice president of the AFL-CIO, was also in Atlanta for the “We Are One” campaign, which she said also included teach-ins and vigils in dozens of cities nationwide.

Smart, Marshall decide to stay put Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va. — VCU coach Shaka Smart is staying with the Rams after leading them on a surprising Final Four run. The school said Monday that Smart has agreed to a new eight-year contract at VCU. Details of that deal will be released once the contract is signed. “True to form, Coach Smart’s primary concerns were about his players, coaches and the overall sup-
port of the basketball program,” VCU athletic director Norwood Teague said in a statement. “We are honored that he has decided to stay a VCU Ram. He exemplifies everything that is right about college athletics, and VCU is ecstatic about the future under his leadership.” The second-year coach led VCU from one of the “First Four” games in the NCAA tournament to upsets of prominent programs including Georgetown, Pur-
due and Kansas to reach the Final Four. VCU (28-12) became only the third No. 11 seed to get that far, losing to Butler 70-62 in Saturday’s national semifinals. Making that run even more impressive: Four of the Rams’ five tournament wins came by double-digit margins, including the 71-61 win against the top-seeded Jayhawks for the Southwest Regional championship. That run had Smart frequently mentioned for other coaching vacancies.
Team spokesman Scott Day said North Carolina State had recently offered Smart the job to replace Sidney Lowe, who resigned in March. “I’m extremely grateful for the belief that (VCU president Michael Rao) and Norwood Teague have shown and continue to show in our coaching staff and basketball program,” Smart said in a statement. “Their support, in addi-

Huskies mush to third title BY EDDIE PELLS Associated Press
HOUSTON — The only thing that could stop Kemba Walker and Connecticut’s amazing run was the final buzzer. On a UConn 53 night when Butler 41 the massive arena felt like a dusty old gym, UConn made Butler look like the underdog it really was, winning the national championship Monday night with an old-fashioned, grinding 53-41 beatdown of the Bulldogs. Walker finished with 16 points for the Huskies (32-9), who won their 11th straight game since closing the regular season with a 9-9 Big East record that foreshadowed none of this. They closed it out with a defensive showing for the ages, holding Butler to a 12-for-64 shooting. That’s 18.8 percent, the worst ever in a title game. It was one of the ugliest games anyone can remember on the sport’s biggest stage. But definitely the kind of game a grizzled old coach like Jim Calhoun could love. At age 68, he became the oldest coach to win the NCAA championship and joined John Wooden, Adolph Rupp, Mike Krzyzewski and Bob Knight as only the fifth coach to win
three NCAA titles. “It may be the happiest moment of my life,” Calhoun said. Calhoun coaxed this win out of his team by accepting the reality that the rim looked about as wide as a pancake on a cold-shooting, defensiveminded night in Houston. He did it by making his players pound the ball inside and insisting on the kind of defense that UConn played during this remarkable run, but which often got overshadowed by Walker’s theatrics. UConn trailed 22-19 after a first half that came straight
out of the ‘40s. “The halftime speech was rather interesting,” Calhoun said. “The adjustment was, we were going to out-will them and outwork them.” And so they did. Connecticut outscored Butler by an unthinkable 26-2 in the paint. The Bulldogs (28-10), in their second straight title game and hoping to put the closing chapter on the ultimate “Hoosiers” story, went a mindnumbing 13 minutes, 26 seconds in the second half making only one field goal. During that time, a 25-19
lead turned into a 41-28 deficit. This for a team that never trailed Duke by more than six during last year’s epic final. That time, Gordon Hayward’s desperation halfcourt heave bounced off the backboard and rim, barely missing. This time, UConn was celebrating before the buzzer sounded, Calhoun pumping his fists and hugging an assistant while the Huskies ran to the sideline and soaked in the confetti. The version of “Hoosiers” with the happy ending is still available on DVD.

the Butler bench reacts in the waning moments of the championship on Monday. it was the second straight year the Bulldogs had fallen in the title game.
UConn, meanwhile, gets the real celebration. Joining Walker, the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player, in double figures were Jeremy Lamb with 12 points, including six during UConn’s pullaway run, and Alex Oriakhi with 11 points and 11 rebounds. Just as impressive were the stats UConn piled up on defense. Four steals and 10 blocks, including four each by Oriakhi and Roscoe Smith, and a total clampdown of Butler’s biggest stars, Matt Howard and Shelvin Mack. Howard went 1 for 13 and Mack went 4 for 15. “They’re a great defensive team,” Mack said. “They did a great job of contesting every shot. They just weren’t falling today.” Butler’s 41 points were 10 points fewer than the worst showing in the shot-clock era in a championship game. (Michigan scored 51 in a loss to Duke in 1992), and the 18.8 percent shooting broke a record that had stood since 1941. “Without question, 41 points and 12 of 64 is not good enough to win any game, let alone the national championship,” Butler coach Brad Stevens said.

Stanly 9 B r o w n ’ s hand, wobbled crazily through the air, trickled across the third-base foul line and came to rest near the North dugout. Ball one. “Hey, that’s a good spot,” North coach Aaron Rimer barked cheerfully. That small joke broke the tension, and Brown smiled. It was just a ballgame, after all, albeit a ballgame against South Stanly, the first-place team in the YVC. “There MAULDIN was a lot of pressure just trying to p i t c h , ” Brown said. “That loosened me up a little bit.” B r o w n shut out South Stanly in the sevBROWN enth and eighth innings, and North escaped Norwood with a 10-9 extra inning victory that had to be seen to be believed. Now North’s in a good spot in the YVC standings with a 7-2 league record, right behind South Stanly’s 8-2. “Both teams had a tough night in the field, and if you don’t make plays you don’t win ballgames,” South Stanly coach Terry Tucker said. “It didn’t help us that we got rained out all last week, but North is an improved team from the first time we played them (a 3-2 South Stanly win opening day in Spencer).” The Cavaliers out-hit the Rowdy Rebel Bulls 17-4, but still came within an eyelash from losing. Matt Mauldin’s homer in the eighth finally decided it. “We hit the ball and our pitching was great,” Rimer said. “We made just enough defensive plays to win.” Along with Mauldin, Tyler Wyatt and Matt Laurens hit their first homers of the season for the Cavaliers (9-2). Landon Fraley belted two homers for the Bulls (9-4). It’s a hitter-friendly park, and the wind was howling out, especially in the early innings. “When we got here, I knew this would be like playing at Wrigley Field,” Rimer said. “Some balls were going to fly out of here, and it wasn’t going to be easy to catch fly balls. It was like whoever hit the ball the highest was going to win.” Wyatt had four hits, and Laurens and Alex Morgan had three hits each, as the

Orioles now 4-0 Associated Press
From around the majors... BALTIMORE — Brian Roberts hit a three-run homer, Jake Arrieta allowed one run in six innings and the unbeaten Baltimore Orioles thrilled a sellout crowd in their home opener by defeating the Detroit Tigers 5-1 Monday. On a gorgeous afternoon at Camden Yards, the Orioles extended a surprising winning streak that began with a threegame sweep at Tampa Bay. Off to its best start since 1997, Baltimore (4-0) has not yet trailed, hasn’t given up more than one run in a game and has outscored the competition 17-4. With the score tied at 1 in the fifth, Felix Pie walked and went to third on a double by J.J. Hardy before Roberts hit a 1-2 pitch from Rick Porcello (0-1) over the wall in rightcenter. Roberts has Baltimore’s only two home runs this season. Nick Markakis followed with his third hit, a double, and Matt Wieters delivered a two-out RBI single for a 5-1 lead. Arrieta (1-0) gave up six hits and walked two. Jason Berken followed with two innings of one-hit relief and Koji Uehara pitched the ninth. Yankees 4, Twins 3 NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez and Jorge Posada each hit a two-run homer, rookie Ivan Nova kept New York ahead and the Yankees made it another tough visit for Minnesota. Joba Chamberlain, Rafael Soriano and Mariano Rivera
each pitched a scoreless inning to close the Yankees’ 14th victory in their last 15 home tries against Minnesota — that includes wins in New York’s opening-round playoff sweeps over the Twins the last two years. Rodriguez lined his 615th homer in the first, then Posada connected the next inning for his third home run in two days. The shots off Scott Baker (0-1) gave the Yankees 11 home runs through their first four games. Nova (1-0) tossed six effective innings in his season debut. Jim Thome had a two-run double for the Twins. Braves 2, Brewers 1 MILWAUKEE — Martin Prado and Dan Uggla homered off Takashi Saito in the eighth inning, rallying the Atlanta Braves to a 2-1 victory and spoiling the Milwaukee Brewers’ home opener on Monday. Rickie Weeks continued his impressive start for winless Milwaukee with his third homer. But the Brewers are 04 after getting swept at Cincinnati to begin the season. Peter Moylan (1-0) got three outs to earn the win and Craig Kimbrel struck out the side in the ninth for his second save. Prado tied it with his leadoff drive in the eighth. Saito (0-1) got two outs before Uggla hit a deep fly to left-center that hit off the top of the wall and bounced over. Atlanta starter Brandon Beachy and Milwaukee’s Chris Narveson each tossed six sparkling innings.
NORMAN, Okla. — New Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger has been through a couple of rebuilding projects. This, he says, is different. “This program has got great tradition, so we’re not rebuilding. We’re not bringing it back,” Kruger told a crowd of hundreds who gathered Monday at McCasland Fieldhouse to see him formally introduced as the Sooners’ coach. “We’re just hoping to continue what’s been very good here for a long time.” Oklahoma is only two years removed from a trip to the regional finals of the NCAA tournament, but the span since then represents the school’s first back-to-back losing seasons since 1967. Kruger, 58, spent the last
seven seasons rebuilding a struggling program at UNLV and before that coached at Illinois, Kansas State and Florida. He took all four of those schools to the NCAA tournament. “The thing we do regardless is surround ourselves with as good of players as we possibility can, and good people. We’ve always had a staff of coaches that are very genuinely interested and motivated out of the well-being for the student-athlete, not only on the court but off and in every way,” Kruger said. • COLUMBIA, Mo. — Frank Haith is returning to the Big 12 as Missouri’s head coach. Missouri announced Monday night that the former assistant to Rick Barnes at Texas had agreed to leave Miami and take over the Tigers.
Cavaliers pounded away. North benefited from dribblers and pop-fly hits — Hunter Feezor skied one that fell untouched in the infield — but it also squared up quite a few balls. Rimer basically rolled through his pitching staff — Josh Price for an inning, Dusty Agner for three, Laurens for two, and, finally, Brown for the last two. “That’s not ideal with us playing four games this week, but this was the game we had to have,” Rimer said. “We made mistakes, but they were aggressive mistakes. Our guys wanted to play and they played like they wanted to win.” North last won a conference championship in baseball in 2006. Wyatt’s RBI double k e y e d North’s two-run first. Fraley’s first homer, his WYATT fifth of the season, tied it in the third. Feezor’s pop-up single preceded a two-run shot by Laurens in the fourth, and a soft RBI single to right by Morgan pushed North’s lead to 5-2. South Stanly’s bottom of the fourth was one for the record books. The Bulls didn’t have a single official at-bat, yet pushed across two runs. Two walks were followed by a sac bunt that Agner mishandled to load the bases. After that, it was back-to-back sac flies, and a caught stealing to end the inning. The excitement continued in the fifth. Wyatt’s solo N. Rowan 10, S.

mound in the seventh, but Brown’s liner to right-center that probably should’ve ended the game appeared to sail right through the right fielder. Jamone Kelly, running for Feezor, who had delivered a one-out infield single, scored from second base to tie the game at 9-9. “Probably he should’ve caught it,” Brown admitted. “But that wind was crazy.” So was the game. Brown, who had contributed a leaping catch at third base to end the South Stanly fifth, came on to pitch the bottom of the seventh, and it was 1-2-3, the only clean inning any pitcher had all night. Mauldin came to the plate with one out in the NR eighth. “I went up there kind of mad because I hadn’t been able to get hold of anything all night,” he said. “I made up my mind, I was going to smash it.” He smashed it — well over the fence in center, and North led one more time. Now it was up to Brown to get three outs. “Dakota wanted the ball, and when he wants it, there’s no pitcher I’d rather give it to,” Rimer said. It got interesting after a one-out walk and a bounceout put a runner at second with Fraley coming up. Rimer wisely ordered an intentional walk with a base open. That walk put the winning run on base, but the way Fraley was swinging, it had to be done. After an unintentional walk filled the bases, Brown ended the game with a strikeout. “It’s a huge win,” Brown said. “Barely, but we got it.” North won even with young South Stanly using sophomore ace Russ Weiker (5-0) for four innings. This was big. “It’s a tough loss, and it was going to be tough for whichever team lost it,” Tucker said. “The good news is we’re still in first place. We’ve just got to keep pushing forward.”
The Hurricanes said earlier in the day that Haith had resigned to take the Missouri job, but the Tigers were quiet until university curators met for nearly two hours late in a closed session to approve his hiring. The 45-year-old Haith spent three years as an assistant at Texas, four years as an assistant at both Texas A&M and Wake Forest, and had stints at Penn State and North Carolina-Wilmington. He took over Miami in 2004 as his first head coaching job. Missouri will introduce Haith on Tuesday. He replaces Mike Anderson, who went to Arkansas after five years in Columbia. Under Anderson, the Tigers made three consecutive NCAA tournaments and fell one win short of the 2009 Final Four.
Their 77 wins over the past three seasons is the best three-year-run in school history.
NHL NEW YORK — Brandon Dubinsky and Michael Sauer scored 51 seconds apart late in the third period, and the New York Rangers turned a likely crippling defeat into their most stirring victory of the season by rallying to beat the defensive-minded Boston Bruins 5-3 on Monday night. The Rangers, who trailed 3-0 in the second period, seemed beaten by the Northeast Division champion Bruins when the game suddenly turned without warning. Dubinsky scored the tying goal with 3:48 remaining and Sauer followed at 17:03 with the winning tally that shook Madison Square Garden.

The school has said Smart had a base salary of $325,000 this season and was due to make $640,000 in all due to performance bonuses.
MARSHALL STAYS IN WICHITA WICHITA, Kan. — Gregg Marshall is staying put as the head coach at Wichita State. M a r shall told The Associated Press on Monday that he’s MARSHALL staying at the school because he has a “great situation.” Marshall led the
Shockers to the NIT title last week, beating Alabama to finish 29-8, a school record for wins in a season. The former Winthrop coach had been linked to the vacant job at North Carolina State. He said he didn’t want to address rumors that he had turned down offers from other schools. “They deserve their respect, and I appreciate any interest that was shown. I just kind of want to leave it at that,” Marshall said in a phone interview. “It’s not important.” The Shockers rebounded from a disappointing loss in the Missouri Valley tournament and getting snubbed by the NCAA tournament selection committee tearing through the NIT. They beat Nebraska by 27 points, won at Virginia Tech, beat College of Charleston, then set a school record for wins with a 75-44 romp over Washington State in the semifinals. “My family is happy, and we’re coming off an NIT championship,” Marshall said. “We get a chance now to exhale and enjoy it.” Marshall said factoring into his decision to stay with Wichita State, where he has coached for four seasons, was his family’s comfort level in Wichita. His current contract has him making $750,000 a year through the 2013-14 season. "I just got a great situation here," Marshall said. "We have a great group of guys coming back and another group coming in, and it's just a very nice, easy place for us to be right now.”

Closing out tough to do Associated Press
CHARLOTTE — It’s easy to sit on the couch and list all the things you would have done if you’d been driving Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s car over the final few laps at Martinsville Speedway. Of course, most of us don’t have the slightest idea how to drive a race car, let alone maneuver it around a tricky paperclip-shaped short track with Kevin Harvick bearing down on the bumper. And nobody has any idea what it’s like to be Earnhardt, who must balance the life of luxury he’s created as NASCAR’s most popular driver with the burden of being the son of a seven-time champion. Toss in his failure to win a championship, a losing streak that’s closing in on three years and constant questions about his ability, confidence and desire, and, well, it becomes pretty difficult to figure out just what Earnhardt should have done Sunday at Martinsville. The fact it, he’s probably a little rusty when it comes to closing out victories. His last one at the Sprint Cup level was at Michigan in June, 2008, and although he flirted with the win in the closing laps of last year’s Daytona 500, he was chasing someone else for the
trophy. It’s been a long time, though, since he’s had to do any defensive driving. Nobody is saying he’s forgotten how to protect a lead late in a race, but it’s never as easy as it looks on TV, and it certainly wasn’t for Earnhardt on Sunday. Stuck in a 98-race losing streak, in a car that was probably only good for a top-10 finish, he suddenly found himself in position to race for the win. Crew chief Steve Letarte’s strategy and some lucky breaks put him right behind Kyle Busch racing for the win late in Sunday’s race. Nobody would have been surprised if Earnhardt had run Busch over to knock him out of his way. After all, Busch has had the last laugh in 16 visits to Victory Lane since Rick Hendrick fired him to make room for Earnhardt at Hendrick Motorsports. All those Busch wins have had to embarrass Earnhardt just a little as he floated around the middle of the pack each week. But Earnhardt didn’t wreck him. He instead patiently worked his way onto Busch’s rear bumper, and gave him a little nudge when it was time to take the lead. Was it out of bounds? Absolutely not, and Busch said so himself. “I was holding him up, so it
was good for him,” Busch said. “He took the lead. No harm, no foul.” Only Earnhardt knows what was going through his mind with that long-overdue victory finally in sight. All he’s heard for three years is how NASCAR’s success depends on him, and if Earnhardt was winning again, then just maybe the television ratings and attendance problems would be solved. And that rabid fan base, so passionate in its support of the prodigal son, has literally been starving for just a smidgen of success. Alas, there was lapped traffic out his front windshield, and Harvick closing quickly in his rearview mirror. His car, remember, was never considered a contender for this win, and holding off Harvick was going to be an unbelievable challenge. Maybe he should have forced Harvick to move him out of the way. But he didn’t, and Harvick, with a faster car, earned it with a solid pass. Then he got back on Harvick’s bumper for one last shot at it, and maybe he should have wrecked Harvick to take back the win.

And that was all Dale Jr. at the end. I think a lot of people in the sport kind of wrote him off. He hasn’t forgotten how to drive, he hasn’t lost the desire.” Now Earnhardt will move on this week to Texas, site of his first career win 11 years ago, and where if he doesn’t
win Saturday night, his losing streak will hit 100 races. But he’s got plenty to feel good about right now — he’s obviously faster this year, he’s eighth in the standings and his 11.2 average finish right now is up from the last two seasons. And maybe he learned on Sunday that he can get to the front again, and wins might not be that far away. As he reflected, though, on what might have been, he couldn’t help but wonder what he could have
done differently. Knowing that there was possibly something that he did that cost him that victory forced him to temper his excitement with the reality. “Well, I ain’t really proved it to myself yet,” Earnhardt said when asked if “he’s back.” “I’ll let you know when I feel like I’m back, personally. We got some work to do still, and you know, we are faster, we are more competitive than last year. But we still got a little ways to go.”
Playoff berth Ishikawa inspires his homeland regroups Knicks Associated Press
Associated Press
From around the NBA... GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Even while chasing championships in Detroit, Chauncey Billups couldn’t help but notice the comedy of errors playing in New York. Larry Brown, his beloved coach with the Pistons, lasted just one tumultuous season with the Knicks before a contentious parting that went all the way to Commissioner David Stern’s office. Isiah Thomas, one of the all-time greats as a Detroit player, became a spectacular failure here as a coach and executive. In New York City, the Motor City and beyond, the Knicks had become a punch line. “Anything that goes on in New York is everywhere. It’s not just in y’alls’ papers, it’s kind of everywhere,” Billups said Monday, a day after the Knicks clinched their first playoff berth since 2004. “So I followed that, man, and it was, it was kind of unpleasant to see that.” OK, so maybe the Knicks weren’t quite the Clippers. The longtime losers from Los Angeles have been the NBA’s standard when it comes to failed franchises. On the court, though, the Knicks were even worse. From the start of the 2004-05 season to the end of 2009-10, only the Minnesota Timberwolves were worse — by three wins — than New York, which compiled a .352 winning percentage, according to STATS, LLC. Throw in a sexual harassment lawsuit against Thomas and Madison Square Garden by a former franchise executive, the drama involving Stephon Marbury, and it seemed everyone was laughing at the Knicks. “What I found here is that everyone wants to mock the Knicks because they don’t really want to see them get good,” team president Donnie Walsh said. “I didn’t. In Indiana, I did not want to see the Knicks get good because they could be good for a long time.” Maybe they’re on their way. Though the Knicks’ drought matched Minnesota’s for the NBA’s longest, they won’t be an inexperienced club when they return to the big stage in less than two weeks. Billups, Amare Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony have all played deep into the postseason, meaning the Knicks’ core would be as tested as anyone outside of Boston among Eastern Conference teams. “We have three guys who expected to be there,” coach
Mike D’Antoni said. “So it’s not like, ‘look we did.’ This is a normal day for them.” Nothing about the Knicks was normal before Walsh and D'Antoni arrived in 2008. Shortly after Thomas was hired in late 2003, he thought he had the franchise player who would lead the Knicks to perennial playoff appearances when he acquired Marbury from Phoenix. They would make the postseason that spring before they were swept by the New Jersey Nets. Marbury would eventually feud with Thomas and just about everyone else, including Brown, who went 23-59 in 2005-06 before Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan fired him and attempted to withhold the remaining four years on his contract, saying Brown was fired for violating MSG rules. The matter went before Stern before the sides eventually settled. • CHARLOTTE — Charlotte Bobcats leading scorer Stephen Jackson says he’ll miss a third straight game Tuesday at Cleveland with continued pain in his left hamstring. Jackson was unable to practice Monday and says he still has sharp pain every time he straightens his leg. Jackson, averaging 18.5 points, wouldn’t say he’ll shut it done for the rest of the season, saying only, “You’ll have to hear that from somebody else.” Jackson’s absence has been a blow for the Bobcats’ postseason hopes. Charlotte remains two games behind Indiana for the last Eastern Conference playoff spot with six games left after losing to Washington 97-91 on Sunday. Coach Paul Silas says forward Tyrus Thomas, guard Shaun Livingston and big man Eduardo Najera will also sit out against the Cavaliers with injuries. • MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Miami guard Dwyane Wade received treatment Monday on his bruised right thigh and is not sure how it will affect him over the next few days. Wade was hurt in the first half of Sunday’s 108-94 win over the New Jersey Nets. Wade returned to that game in the second half. Appearing Monday at an event to promote his soon-tobe-released Jordan Brand signature shoe, Wade said he was experiencing pain in the leg. He does not know if he’ll be able to practice Tuesday or play in Miami’s home game Wednesday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. Miami is a half-game ahead of Boston in the race for the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference.
Previewing the masters... AUGUSTA, Ga. — Ryo Ishikawa understands that whatever pressure he faces this week at the Masters doesn’t even compare with what his people in Japan are facing as they try to recover from the earthquake and tsunami that destroyed so many lives. Even so, the 19-yearold has been around long enough to appreciate the role sports can play. ISHIKAWA That was one reason Ishikawa decided last week to donate all of his 2011 earnings on the golf course to relief efforts. The money itself, which could be in the range of $2.2 million if he has the kind of season he did in 2010, is a small amount in the big picture. He hopes the message is what comes across. “I would like to emphasize the power and energy that sports can create for those people to encourage them, and also it’s my intention to play really well,” he said Monday. “It will be the best way to encourage people in Japan.” Ishikawa has not been home since the March 11 devastation. He played three straight PGA Tour event in Florida, then drove up to Augusta. His family flew in from Japan to meet him. He had said during the Florida swing that his mind was on golf, yet his heart was at home as the Japanese try to recover. But he made clear Monday that he would not be distracted by anything except golf while at Augusta National. Besides, the better he players, the more money for the relief efforts. Along with donating his entire earnings, Ishikawa has pledged about $1,200 for each birdie in competition. “Right now, since my big decision, I’m 100 percent for playing golf,” he said. “I believe that as I play, I’m connected with the people that are affected by the disaster through the donation,
whatever I earn for this year. And that’s why I am fully devoting myself to golf.” Now comes the hard part. Ishikawa is a nine-time winner in Japan, once as a 15-year-old amateur, once by shooting 58 in the final round. That hasn’t translated in America, where he has made only nine cuts in 19 events, his best finish a tie for ninth in the Match Play Championship last year. “I haven’t been producing the results, but at the same time, I know that I am playing well,” he said. “I know what I’m doing is right at this point. And I would like to show to the American people how well I can play.”
MASTERS TICKETS Daily tickets for the Masters will be available for the first time starting in 2012. Augusta National chairman Billy Payne said Tuesday that a small number of daily tickets would be available, although the club does not disclose how many. The price for a daily ticket is $75, while a practice round ticket costs $50. Until now, a weekly badge was the only ticket for tournament rounds. Meantime, the Masters has moved its application process online for tickets. Applications are being accepted at www.masters.com with a June 30 deadline for daily tournament tickets and a July 30 deadline for practice round tickets. The limit is two tournament tickets for any one day and four practice round tickets for any one day. Applicants will be notified by e-mail within several weeks after the deadline. The Masters also said the waiting list for a weekly badge, which reopened briefly in 2000, has been exhausted.
BO AND BOB Among the questions being asked of players on Monday under the oak tree was what makes the Masters special. The answer was on the other side of the clubhouse. Mark Chaney, the caddie for Bo Van Pelt, was sitting alone on the bench when an 82-year-old man in a pink shirt asked
if he could join him. It was Bob Goalby, who won the Masters in 1968. This was his 53rd consecutive trip to the Masters. The stories began to flow. Goalby talked about the practice routine at the Masters back in his day, how everyone came over from Greensboro because prize money was so low that no one could afford to skip many events. Van Pelt showed up a few minutes later and he was introduced to Goalby. Van Pelt knew the name well. Meeting the man was a treat. With more stories — the Ryder Cup, practicing with Ben Hogan, the rivalry of Hogan and Sam Snead — Van Pelt listened and laughed. This doesn’t happen at any other major. Goalby held court for close to an hour when he realized he was running late for a lunch appointment. Van Pelt finally headed off to the practice range and then to play the course. It was a good start to his day.
NICKLAUS REVISITED CBS Sports is planning another Sunday special that looks back at the Masters, this one involving Jack Nicklaus. Only it’s not the Masters victory everyone is talking about this year. Some might argue it’s even better. Jim Nantz will revisit the 1975 Masters, featuring the dramatic back nine battle involving Nicklaus, Tom Weiskopf and Johnny Miller. The signature moment was Nicklaus holing a 40-foot birdie putt on the 16th hole, raising his putter and running off in celebration as Weiskopf and Miller watched from the tee. “This is a rare mulligan for people to look back and experience this historic tournament,” Nantz said. “It is a privilege to bring back the 1975 Masters, considered by many golf purists to have been the most dramatic final round in the history of this storied event.” Most Nicklaus memories this year are from his 1986 victory, when he shot 30 on the back nine to win a sixth green jacket at age 46. This is the 25-year anniversary of that win, which has been well-documented. Nantz did a special on that in 2006.
Goodell wants HGH tests in next deal Associated Press
WOODLAWN, Md.— One of the hundreds of high school students attending an assembly Monday about the dangers of performance-enhancing substances wanted NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to answer this question: Why is there more drug use in baseball than football? Goodell began his response this way: “I’m not sure that’s true.” While making sure to emphasize that he believes the NFL’s drug-testing program is a strong one, Goodell acknowledged that it can be improved, and said the league will insist that its next labor deal with players — whenever there is one — includes testing for human growth hormone. “We’d be naive to think that
people aren’t trying to cheat the system. But we have to have the best testing program to be able to offset that,” Goodell told reporters after joining Rep. Elijah Cummings, a Maryland Democrat, to speak to area students at Woodlawn High School in Baltimore County. “I made it clear to the kids in the room today that the integrity of the NFL is critical, and we need to make sure we’re doing everything possible to have the best drug program in sports,” Goodell said. “Making changes to our program is critical and we have done that over the years. We need to do more, including the inclusion of HGH testing.” Preventing athletes from using HGH is a key target in the anti-doping movement. The substance is hard to detect, and athletes are believed
to choose HGH for a variety of benefits, whether they be real or only perceived — including increasing speed and improving vision. HGH use is prohibited by the NFL, but the league’s old collective bargaining agreement did not have testing for it. Goodell thinks players “recognize the importance of” adding HGH tests. The NFL Players Association has opposed blood tests in the past but did say last summer it would be open to hearing a proposal from the league during CBA talks. Goodell said Monday that HGH was “part of a broader proposal on where we go with our drug program.” NFLPA spokesman George Atallah declined to comment Monday. CBA negotiations broke off March 11, and the old deal ex-
pired. The NFLPA said it would no longer function as a union, and a group of players filed a class-action antitrust lawsuit in federal court in Minnesota. The owners then locked out the players. A hearing is scheduled for Wednesday on the players’ request for a preliminary injunction to lift the lockout. Some former NFL players also sued, and the cases were consolidated Monday. The retirees said that loss of NFL revenue from an extended lockout would jeopardize their retirement plans and other benefits subsidized by the league. In court documents filed Monday in Minnesota, attorneys for the NFL argued the retirees don’t have standing to ask that the lockout be blocked, because they aren’t current employees and aren’t being locked out.

Are you angry at a coach? BY SCOTT MADDOX
How many times have you heard a fan, parent, family member or player make a derogatory comment about a coach? You might hear what a bad person they are, or how little they know about whatever sport they are coaching, or any number of cockamamie statements. What makes people act this way? I think it is pretty simple really; let me explain. To begin, let’s deal with the fans that make comments. The first thing you have to remember is that these are the folks with the least amount of knowledge about the coach in question. They only have a small snippet of what the coach is about. They see what goes on during the game and make assumptions based on what
they’ve seen. They also rely heavily on the opinions of others who either know about as much as they do or have an axe to grind with that coach. My favorite reason for disparaging remarks is because the coach coaches at a rival school. Everybody knows you can’t like a coach from another school, they are basically evil people... Next is the parent or family member comment. I would be willing to bet that 99 percent of the time, a negative comment from a parent has to do with something other than the actual comment being made. If you had the time to dig around a little bit, you would find that most parent/family comments derive from dissatisfaction with a player’s playing time, being held accountable, or something along these lines. After all, when was the last time you heard a parent/family member say, “My child plays all the time,
in the position they like, and enjoys practice but Coach whoever is (fill in your own complaint).” It happens about as often as a duck not being able to swim. People who are dissatisfied have a tendency to blame others rather than accept reality, which often times has to do with a players God given ability; or lack thereof. One of my favorite things to have happen is the parent/family member who goes to a game at another school and shares their vile comments with friends and fans from that school. Do they really think it will not get back to the coach at some point? People often like to spread negativity when it comes to athletics. I’ll give you an example. I have spent the last few summers coaching a summer league team with players from both North and Salisbury. Obviously, the parents
have developed relationships with each other because of the two schools forming one team, just as I have. Let’s say a Salisbury parent goes over to a North game and moans and groans about how their son isn’t happy at Salisbury for whatever reason. The parent makes a few negative comments about me or one of my coaches; does that person really think it will not get back to me? Not that it really matters, because if you have been coaching for very long, you learn to just let that stuff roll off your back. But it’s just the principle of the whole thing. “You catch more flies with honey than vinegar” seems a perfect saying for this type situation. As coaches, I think we all prefer to have the support of everyone involved, but especially the parents/family members. After all, we are trying just as hard to prepare the players for life as we are winning games. Adversity is a great teacher. Last, the players. Normal-

ly, players have a pretty good idea of why things are the way they are. They normally know if the reason they aren’t playing has to do with attitude or ability. The problems with a player normally arise when others start stoking the fire, so to speak. Comments like, “You should be playing more,” or, “That coach just doesn’t like you,” can get into the head of a teenager who is already dealing with well, just being a teenager. Problems with players not being happy are the easiest for a coach to deal with. Primarily because of what I mentioned earlier. Players, deep down inside, know why things are as they are. A good five minute conversation explaining the reasons why things being the way they are, along with what it will take to have them change usually fixes the problem. My point of this whole story is that seldom are the people complaining justified in
their complaints. Mostly, it is the result of misinformation, displeasure with their own situations or downright meanness. There are very few coaches who aren’t doing the best they can and even fewer that have the time to “plot against” a player. Most coaches I know are focusing on winning games, making players better and preparing them for life after sports. So next time you hear someone ripping a coach, remember, they probably aren’t being very objective. And if you are one of those folks who occasionally takes part in this practice, take a chill pill. Put it in the proper perspective. Scott Maddox writes the blog Game Time for the Salisbury Post. Read all of this blogs at: www.salisburypost.com/bl ogs/gametime/

The Back Shop and gantry at the North Carolina Transportation Museum. The immense Back Shop structure was built in 1905 and served as the major overhaul facility for steam locomotives. The largest structure on the site, and once the largest industrial building in North Carolina, the Back Shop served as an enormous machine shop where locomotives were disassembled with the aid of a crane.
NIGHT FROM 1C which was built in 1924, is one of the few remaining ones in the country. It deserved to be represented by a better, or at least sharper, series of photographs. And just like that night years ago, the shadows around the iron locomotives were deep and dark, absorbing the light like a sponge. They charmed me in some way. Armed with a camera, a tripod, an audio recorder and Mark Brown, the project was under way. Brown, who works at the museum dealing with media types like me, helped with alarms and kept me from being arrested by the ever-patrolling Spencer Police Department. With a little arm twisting, Brown played a bluesy progression on his guitar to add some sound to a slideshow of these photos posted on the Salisbury Post website. Black-and-white photos seemed like a no-brainer. Colors are muted in low light and those terrible sodium vapor security lights put out an orange glow that turns to mud in the printed
Storehouse No. 3. edition of the newspaper. Besides, I think those lights were created to repel ghosts. The tripod kept the camera rock steady for the long exposures. Some exposures were as long as 30 seconds and others as short as 5 seconds. I was amazed at how it almost seemed too bright in some places. In one image in particular, the sky in the background was so bright the photo appeared to have been taken during daylight hours. It seem to be beyond the scope of normal understanding, almost paranormal. Nah, that's just the sodium vapor lights in downtown Salisbury keeping the ghosts away.

Norfolk Southern No. 1616 sits outside the roundhouse. The locomotive was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1955.
Graham County Railroad 1925 was built by the Lima Locomotive Works in February 1925. This Shay type of locomotive, named after the inventor, was designed for the steep grades, sharp curves and bad track conditions found on logging railroads. It is now housed in the Julian Roundhouse.
Looking into the Back Shop. u The Bob Julian Roundhouse houses about 40 restored locomotives and rail cars. This locomotive was built by the American Locomotive Company in March 1918. This 2-10-0 Decapod was built for the Russian State Railroad; but never delivered due to the Revolution of 1917. q

Tourist bargains available in Europe
is currently seeking candidates to be trained as expert evaluators for ongoing testing of personal care products, snack foods, and furniture comfort. Tourists take photographs in front of Andrian’s Arch in Athens, Greece. Air fares have repeatedly risen this year, the dollar has struggled against the euro, and Europe’s economic crisis is still rattling financial markets. Americans planning their summer vacations could well ask what’s the point of going to Europe this year? Aer Lingus, Iberia and BA. Travel agents said flights from the U.S. to Greece are likely to remain more expensive than those to the other three nations. But Greece’s airports have reached out to tourists by waiving landing, takeoff and stopover fees, and Parliament recently reduced the value-added tax charged to tourists by hotels to 6.5 percent from 11 percent. Some struggling hotels and bed-and-breakfasts in countries such as Greece and Portugal also are offering bargain rates that can be found online at sites such as EuroCheapo.com. Strikes by unions have long been more common in Europe than in the U.S., and some can be big enough to close capitals and shut down airports and public transportation, especially in Greece, where workers are fed up with high unemployment and austerity measures. Even tourists who arrive on cruise ships in Piraeus, the main port serving Athens, can run into delays. Last summer strikes by workers there delayed the arrival of several ships. But it wasn’t all bad. When passengers on one such cruise ship later arrived at the island of Rhodes, they were welcomed by local residents carrying flowers. Dublin is reaching out to tourists by launching a program in June that provides a free round of drinks and a free tour of the city by a local resident. Travelers 66 years or older can get a Golden Trekker Pass: four days of unlimited free train travel on Irish Rail. Portugal, Greece and Spain have long been known for their great food and restaurants — and Ireland for its fantastic beers and steaks — but some of these countries also serve dinner far later at night than Americans are accustomed to. There are ways around this for tourists in the know. For example, visitors to countries such as Ireland can find early bird specials in restaurants, according to Pauline Frommer, the creator of the Pauline Frommer
Guide Books. She also said that one unanticipated advantage of the economic crises in these four nations is that American bargain-hunters are less likely to be looked down upon as they once were. “It’s now easier to be a budget traveler in these four countries because nobody gives you the evil eye if you go into a restaurant and order one entree to share,” she said. “It’s a sea change. Frugality is no longer looked down upon. It’s expected.” Like the United States, Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain have regions that remain prosperous, despite the tough economic times, and ones that are hurting. For that reason, it’s important for tourists who can’t afford to stay in the well-off areas to visit them on day-trips and to spend the night at nearby hotels with cheaper rates. For instance, Madrid remains pricey, but tourists can visit top museums such the Prado and Reina Sofia (free the last two hours every day), or Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando (free on Wednesdays), then use good public transportation to get elsewhere for affordable accommodations. All four nations have extensive train, subway and bus services that also allow bargain hunters to avoid renting a car and paying steep fuel prices. Or tourists might just skip expensive areas such as Madrid and Barcelona and fly on a local budget airline from Madrid to Granada or Costa del Sol, two areas in the south that were harder hit by the crisis and have cheaper hotels and restaurants. Another option could be to give Spain a pass this year and head instead to neighboring Portugal, one of the poorest countries in western Europe. Despite all Portugal’s problems, Britain’s Prince Charles and Camilla are currently making official visits there, and to Spain and Morocco. In May, President Barack Obama and Queen Elizabeth II are both heading to Ireland. Like many Americans, Obama has traced the geneal-
ogy of his family back to Europe — in his case an ancestor who fled Ireland’s potato famine in 1850. So, Frommer said, keep this in mind while deciding whether to travel to Portugal, Ireland, Greece or Spain this summer: “In America, much of our culture comes from Europe. If you and your children want to understand your own system, background, law, give it a try.”

LONDON (AP) — Airfares have repeatedly risen this year, the dollar has struggled against the euro, and Europe’s economic crisis is still rattling financial markets. Americans planning their summer vacations could well ask what’s the point of going to Europe this year? But savvy tourists considering the continent might also be wondering if there are bargains to be had, especially in the four European countries worst hit by the economic crisis — Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain. Known in some circles by the derogatory acronym PIGS, these struggling nations rely heavily on tourism revenue, and they are working hard to boost this sector of their economies. On the plus side, travel agents are seeing potential bargains in these countries in everything from airfares, hotels and restaurants, to incountry transportation and visits to key tourist sites. The agents also regard these four nations as potentially cheaper to visit this summer than three other top tourist European destinations: Britain, France and Italy. But even as the struggling countries reach out for tourist dollars, visitors will have to plan carefully to find bargains. They also will have to decide whether to regard Portugal — which is engulfed by an acute financial crisis and courting bankruptcy — and Greece — where strikes against tough austerity measures can turn violent — as potential adventures or too chaotic for a vacation. One reason bargains can be tough to find is that predicting airfares is like playing roulette these days, given the way the unrest in North Africa and the Middle East, and Japan’s nuclear crisis, have driven up oil prices — a key factor in airline ticket costs. Another is that the unrest in countries such as Tunisia, Libya and Egypt — as well as the crisis in Japan — have made the beach resorts of Spain, Portugal and Greece even more popular than usual among vacationers. A third is that these nations remain proud that they have long been prized as tourist destinations — and they don’t see themselves as a downtrodden alternative. “We have a resource that is better than oil: our weather, our landscapes, our culture and our gastronomy, which are unlike any other in the world,” Spain’s Industry, Trade and Tourism Minister Miguel Sebastian said in the Canary Islands, a top lure for European sun-seekers. “Petroleum, he said, “will run out, but tourism has no reason to do so.” One potential advantage in these tourist destinations could be the price of a flight there. “When I look at our summer booking data, at least based on airfare, Spain, Portugal and Ireland are relative bargains,” said Genevieve Shaw Brown, a senior official at Travelocity.com. Americans looking for bargains also should consider package bookings that include flights and hotels, she said. For instance, two people traveling together in the last week of June could fly roundtrip from New York to Dublin, Ireland, and stay five nights at a four-star hotel for about $1,300 per person, less than the average airfare this summer for Italy, France and Britain, she said. Brian Ek, a senior travel analyst for Priceline.com, said airfares from the U.S. to Ireland — on carriers such as Aer Lingus — are likely to be one of the best bargains in Europe this summer, with many hotels in the country also lowering their prices. “A lot of people don’t realize this, but if demand isn’t there, an airline reduces flights and raises prices. A hotel and a restaurant can’t do that. They must lower prices,” Ek said. George Hobica, president of AirfareWatchdog.com, said consumers looking for deals on airfare or package booking should go online twice a day for a month. He said they should not only use sites such as Expedia, Hotwire, and airline alert services, but also scan the online sites of airlines such as

bulk-meat-buying group for dogs (B.A.R.F. co-op). They have similar groups around the country, where a bunch of people get together and buy large quantities of meat (as in, grocery-store-sized orders) and get it quite a bit cheaper than an individual could. For a while there, we were getting turkey at about 25 cents per pound. Also, they typically have free-range and organic available. I had to stop buying because I shut down my extra freezer (old and energy hog) so nowhere to store cases for the time being, but it is a great benefit to getting your prices down on dog food, especially if you own three big eating machines like I do!” I recommend talking to your vet about switching your pet to homemade food and discussing specific recipes. There’s considerable debate specifically over the Bones and Raw Food Diet. Find out what is best for your pet. • Grooming: And speaking of grooming, while many frugalistas have low-fuss hairstyles (all one length or long hair), you can learn to trim your family’s hair in between salon/barber visits. Some people don’t feel comfortable using hair clippers or vacuum cutters, but for trimming simple bangs, you can try a Creaclip (www.creaclip.com). Another reader, Polly from Pennsylvania, raves about creaclip: “It’s SUPER easy. Took me a whole two to three minutes to cut my hair, and it came out better then some of the cuts I’ve gotten a discount cutters. I would not be unhappy if given this hair cut from a hair cuttery or something similar.”

Finding a few more ways to save Frugal families cut their budgets to the bone. Many budget busters, such as eating out too often or being wasteful with electricity, are easy to identify. Sometimes it might seem like you can’t find any new ways to save. Readers on my forums share updates with an ongoing discussion on their most recent ways SARA they’ve manNOEL aged to save even more money. Here are a few of their suggestions. • Garbage service: This won’t work for all households, but some families can cut out their waste-management company. One reader, Michelle from Wisconsin, shares: “I cut off garbage service yesterday. They were charging $25 a month to come every other week. I can drop the same amount of trash at the dump for $8. Even if you figure in $5 a month for gas to get there it is still a savings of $12 a month.” • Competitive pricing: If you have cable television or satellite, negotiate to get the best price by making a switch or giving them a chance to meet or beat another offer for you to stay. Be sure to find out about cancellation fees, channels available, contract durations and reception before making any changes. • Multiuse products: Lean toward buying products that offer alternate/multi-uses such as vinegar or baking soda or items that can be reused. Another reader, Cheryl from Ohio, adds: “I keep trying to cut down on the number of things I buy (and need) around the house. Like instead of so many cleaning products, opting for an all-purpose cleaner for almost all tasks.” • Pets: Learn to groom your pets yourself and consider making your own pet food.

Dear Friend: The best marriages are challenging at times, and mature couples work hard to work things out without sharing every inti-
mate detail of their relationship with friends. These two are seeing a therapist who should help them learn how to communicate, mediate and work on their marriage. If your friend asks for your advice, it’s OK to admit that you don’t know how to help. You can keep the door open by saying, “I’m not sure what to tell you — what does your therapist say about this?” She may not be bringing up these issues in therapy (some people stockpile their problems for their friends and family but neglect to raise them in counseling), but she should. Separation might give both of them a chance to reflect on their marital aspirations and the tough reality of being a “dream couple.” You should be neutral on this choice — because even intimate friends don’t know everything about what happens between two people.

Dear Amy: My close friend got married last year — to a man she has been with for several years. Ever since the wedding, my friend reports that their relationship is in serious trouble. She says he can’t communicate and doesn’t underher stand needs. He says he doesn’t see anything wrong with the relationship and ASK believes she’s AMY being dramatic. They have passionate fights but are best friends. I am good friends with both of these people, who are in their mid-20s, very successful in their careers and generally well-adjusted. Most of our mutual friends feel their issues are typical of newlyweds and that they just need time to work out the kinks. I constantly remind my friend that I am available if she needs someone to talk to, but I have a difficult time giving advice when she asks me (I’m not married and am in a new relationship). I love both of these people and would like to see their marriage work, but from what she has been telling me, I also don’t want them to live unhappily ever after. They have been working extremely hard to remedy the situation, including seeing a therapist, but sometimes it sounds as if the love just isn’t there. She told me that she has rented an apartment and plans to move there. She says it’s a temporary separation, but I worry it will become permanent. I don’t want to encourage a separation or an unhappy marriage, but these two were always the dream couple in our circle of friends, so everyone expected wedded bliss. What should I do? — Fretting Friend

Any successful bidder shall be required to tender the full balance purchase price so bid in cash or certified check at the time the Substitute Trustee tenders to him a deed for the property or attempts to tender such deed, and should said successful bidder fail to pay the full balance purchase price so bid at that time, he shall remain liable on his bid as provided for in North Carolina General Statute 45-21.30(d) and (e). This sale will be held open ten (10) days for upset bids as required by law. If the Trustee is unable to convey title to this property for any reason, the sole remedy of the purchaser is the return of the deposit. Reasons of such inability to convey include, but are not limited to, the filing of bankruptcy petition prior to the sale and reinstatement of the loan without the knowledge of the Trustee. If the validity of the sale is challenged by any party, the Trustee, in her sole discretion, if she believes the challenge to have merit, may declare the sale void and return the deposit. The purchaser will have no further remedy. Additional notice where the real property is residential with less than 15 units: An order for possession of the property may be issued pursuant to G.S. 45-21.29 in favor of the purchaser and against the party or parties in possession by the Clerk of Superior Court of the County in which the property is sold. Any person who occupies the property pursuant to a rental agreement entered in or renewed on or after October 1, 2007, may, after receiving the notice of sale, terminate the rental agreement upon 10 days' written notice to the landlord. Upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is liable for rent due under the rental agreement prorated to the effective date of the termination. This the 21st day of March, 2011. Elise B.

Tuesday, April 5 Valuable education that you’ve acquired through either schooling or experience will be used constructively in coming months. It will be most valuable when it can be applied in your field of endeavor. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Through the good auspices of a friend, something of a material nature could develop for you. Whatever it is, it is likely to put you in a wonderful frame of mind all day long. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — A collective activity with chums is apt to be placed under your direction. You won’t mind being put in charge and calling the shots for everyone concerned. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Unselfishly putting the needs of another above your own will be noticed by those who are on the spot. Don’t think the word won’t get out regarding your kindness, gaining you much applause. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Gentle tactics will be most effective when dealing with others. You’ll find that using honey will catch more flies than vinegar. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Because you’ve earned someone’s respect and generosity, this person is likely to treat you very kindly by doing something for you that he or she wouldn’t normally do for others. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Team up with another to form a much-needed partnership arrangement. If your choice is a wise one, the results will be very much to your liking. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Just when you’ll need help the most, an ally is likely to show up and help you to successfully manage a huge task that otherwise would have been overwhelming. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — You should take advantage of an unplanned social involvement with some close friends. It’ll make what started out as a bad day into something quite pleasant. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -You aren’t likely to find a better day to make some artistic changes around the house that you’ve been contemplating. You’ll like the results, and so will everybody else. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Friends are making some plans for a diversion and, of course, you’ll be included in them. You are apt to learn about them sometime today or early tomorrow. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Something you’ve been craving for a long time could come into your possession through the kindness of a relative or loved one. Whatever it is, it will be meaningful. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Charm, humor and wit are the tools you use to your advantage so well. You’ll make the most of them when brightening the day of friends and colleagues.

Looking past the expiration date The cornerstone of bidding systems Dear Reader: The only canned items required to actually carry an expiration date on labeling are infant formula and some baby foods. Listing expiration dates is voluntary, and those voluntary guidelines vary from state to state. Some packaging might provide a “sell by,” “born on,” “guaranteed fresh,” DR. PETER “use by,” “best if used GOTT by” or “pack” date — the latter indicating when a product was canned or packaged. Consider milk that is sometimes good for almost a week after the sell-by date, or eggs that are good up to five weeks — as long as the label reads a sell date several days into the future when you purchase them. Poultry and seafood should be cooked or frozen within a day or two of purchase, while beef and pork should be cooked or frozen within a three- to fiveday period. I had a discussion with a gentleman behind the meat counter of my local grocery store who indicated some products arrive frozen and are thawed before being displayed. He has personally purchased some of these items for his own use and frozen them a second time without benefit of cooking and has never had a problem.
I must say this goes against everything I have always been told, but I guess people do it. And now, on to canned goods. Canned vegetables and low-acid foods have been tested and found risk-free for up to five years, as long as they have been stored in cool temperatures. Humidity can speed deterioration. Spaghetti sauce and other foods with a higher acid content can be kept a year and a half, perhaps longer. If a can is bulging, it should be discarded, because that is an indication that bacteria are likely to be present. Become a savvy shopper. Check dates, rotate your canned goods, and when in doubt, throw it out. Common sense must prevail. Dear Dr. Gott: I’m a 63year-old female with gray/white hair. I’ve noticed recently that it is getting a yellow tint to it. I’ve always loved the color of my hair but find I have to dye it because of the yellow tint. I’ve not changed any medications that I’ve taken for years. What do you think is causing this? Can I do anything to reverse it? Dear Reader: While your medications have remained unchanged, you may have hormonal changes occurring that you are unaware of. Or the yellowing may be the result of over-the-counter supplements, mineral deposits in a swimming pool, shampooing with hard water, exposure to sunlight, smoking and hairspray or other styling aids.
Buy a shampoo specifically designed for yellowing hair. Those on the market I am aware of are Clairol Shimmer Lights, L’Oreal Expert Silver shampoo and Aveda Blue Malva. Natural remedies include diluting your conditioner half strength with hydrogen peroxide, or using lemon juice or steeped chamomile. Any one of these should be applied directly to the hair and left on for up to a halfhour prior to shampooing. Speak with your hairdresser for his or her opinion before incorporating any ideas that may further impair your hair color. Readers who would like additional home remedies can order my Health Reports “Compelling Home Remedies” or “More Compelling Home Remedies” by sending a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order for each report made payable to Newsletter and mailed to Newsletter, P.O.

should lose those tricks. West will take his ace and lead another heart, establishing a trick while he has the diamond ace as an entry. South must lead dummy’s club king at trick two. East will probably take the trick and return his second heart. Declarer wins on the board and cashes the two high clubs, discarding his remaining heart. Then, finally, it is time to play a trump. South loses only the three aces.
BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
Bette Davis said, “Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone — but not the complete structure.” Combined high-card values are the foundation, the cornerstone — but not the complete structure — of every bidding system. When you know your side does not have the highcard values for game, you stop bidding as quickly as possible in as good a contract as possible. But if you may still have the values for game, you must keep the auction alive. Yesterday, we saw that when one player makes a takeout double at the onelevel and his partner advances with a simple bid in a suit, that shows only 0-8 points. So, if the doubler raises, it promises some 17-19 points: sufficient values for game if partner has a maximum. In this deal, once North

raises to two spades, guaranteeing four-card support, South should jump to four spades. (He counts one point for his doubleton club.) After West leads the heart queen, how should South plan the play? Declarer has four losers: one in each suit. And if, after winning the first trick, he immediately plays a trump, he

Severe storms continue sweeping across the Eastern half of the nation on Tuesday, while wet and snowy conditions persist in the Northwest. A low pressure system and associated cold front that brought heavy rain, damaging winds, large hail and even tornadoes to the Midwest and down the Mississippi River Valley will continue moving eastward. On Tuesday, the strong frontal boundary will stretch from the Northeast and down the East Coast, kicking up more strong storms. Expect periods of heavy rain and strong winds will develop along the East Coast, and if storms turn severe, they will most likely be contained to the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic states. Rainfall totals will range around 1 inch, with up to 2 inches likely in areas of thunderstorm development. Behind this system, a ridge of high pressure builds over the Central US, stretching from the Plains and over the Mississippi River Valley. This will bring plenty of sunshine in addition to warm temperatures, with highs ranging from the 50s in the North, to the 80s and 90s in the South. Further West, a low pressure system spinning in the Gulf of Alaska pushes a trough into the Pacific Northwest. This produces periods of heavy rain showers, with high elevation snow showers across Oregon and Washington. This system will quickly move into the Northern Plains, bringing plenty of snow with it. Expect a cold front to extend southward, sweeping through northern California and into Nevada. This will kick up some lighter rain showers with light snow in the Northern Sierras.

Tax season: A great time to conduct a retirement checkup (ARA) -Every year there are routine obligations to fulfill - visiting the doctor for a checkup, doing your taxes, seeing a dentist. But is evaluating your retirement plan one of those annual rituals? For many, a lack of proactive planning will only lead to added stress. In fact, a recent survey released by TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation found that nearly one-third (31 percent) of preretirees are concerned they may not achieve financial success. When it comes to assessing your readiness for retirement, tax time can be a great time to do so. What many don't realize is that the paperwork needed for taxes is the same paperwork needed to plan for retirement. Since you're already gathering the information and will potentially have extra money in the bank from your refund, it's a logical time to check in and make necessary adjustments to your retirement plan or contributions. "Starting early with planning and investing for retirement is key, but it's important to remember that you don't have to develop a comprehensive plan all at once," says Lule Demmissie, managing director, investment products and retirement, TD Ameritrade, Inc., a brokerage subsidiary of TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation. "Breaking it up into pieces and getting your plan started during tax time makes good sense. You can always build upon it in phases." So where do you begin? If you haven't yet given much thought to retirement, assessing your current financial situation will help you determine your next move. TD Ameritrade's WealthRuler is an innovative, online retirement calculator that helps investors review their projected retirement savings and expenses. WealthRuler is free and available to everyone. If you want to speak to someone in person, you can also visit a TD Ameritrade branch for a quick retirement checkup discussion. After you've determined your level of preparedness for retirement, it may be time to act. Consider these four key areas when planning for retirement:
* Lifestyle. Try to envision where you'll want to live when you are retired and the associated travel costs, taxes and proximity to key items of importance such as health care services. Try to picture what types of activities you will enjoy in retirement and how much they will cost, in addition to the money necessary to maintain your current lifestyle. * Budget. Consider any expenses that will cease to exist upon retirement. Then, factor in costs that you expect to increase, such as health care expenses and travel. See how your retirement budget compares to your current budget and plan accordingly. * Resources. Conducting an annual inventory on the different types of income you'll receive in retirement can give you a clearer picture of what your retirement outlook will be. * Investments. You want your money to last in retirement, so be sure to have a plan in place that can help you achieve this. If you are not sure where to begin to develop such a plan, consider going online or consulting a financial professional who could shed light on helpful tips such as investing in a tax-free environment compared to a taxable account. When it comes to planning for retirement, the earlier you begin, the better. However, even if you are getting a late start or lost retirement savings in the recent recession, it's never too late to start planning. It may mean that your expectations will need to be adjusted or that you need to work a little longer, but there is still time to formulate a practical plan. "The reality is that 70 percent of people today plan to work during retirement, so the idea of retirement may need to be redefined for many," Demmissie said. "Just because you may have a change of plans, it doesn't equate to failure. It's about being prepared and knowing your financial situation ahead of time so that you may have a better chance to reach financial success in retirement."

Technology Solutions Help Enhance Independence and Safety For Seniors Submitted by Lori Eberly, Comfort Keepers
New in-home technologies are helping a growing number of aging adults live independently longer. SafetyChoice™ by Comfort Keepers® is a line of in-home safety technology solutions that assists seniors in aging independently at home; whether used with or without in-home care provided by a caregiver. The initial release of products under the Safety Choice™ banner which includes personal emergency response systems (PERS) and other monitoring devices has been developed through a partnership between Guardian Medical Monitoring and CK Franchising, Inc., the franchisor for the Comfort Keepers franchise system. Lori Eberly, owner of the Comfort Keepers franchise in Salisbury, said that technology is helping to complement and extend the personal, human touch provided to senior citizens by professional caregivers and family members. “With the senior population growing at a much faster pace than that of working-age Americans, it’s becoming more challenging to provide around-the-clock care for seniors at home,” she said. She added that demographic studies show that the ratio of seniors to working-age Americans is expected to continue growing—30 percent from 2010 to 2020, and another 29 percent in the following decade. In the meantime, seniors and their loved ones are discovering that technology solutions—such as those offered through SafetyChoice by Comfort Keepers —can effectively bridge the times when a caregiver can’t be present or when a senior may not yet need a caregiver in
the home. Such technologies are monitored by professionals at central stations and provide phone notifications to first responders whether a professional caregiver, family member, neighbor or emergency personnel. “These systems provide family members the peace of mind that their loved one can get help, even when a caregiver can’t be physically present with them,” Eberly said. Responding to the increasing needs for care among seniors, Comfort Keepers recently introduced the new SafetyChoice™ line of technology products, which extends personal caregiving. These products include PERS Units as well as other monitoring devices that can detect certain activities by persons with Alzheimer’s and other dementia-related illnesses, and a portable PERS device with GPS technology. “Technologies like these, in combination with personal caregiving, lead to improved health outcomes and quality of life for seniors,” Eberly said. “These technologies make it possible for them to continue living at home—where they most want to be—safely, confidently, and independently.” PERS units help seniors summon help quickly with the push of a button—reducing wait times for emergency assistance in the event of a fall, illness or other emergency at home. “By greatly decreasing the time for emergency help to arrive,” Eberly said, “emergency response systems help reduce the complications that can result from a fall or other emergency. The
shortened wait time usually results in quicker and fuller recovery and an improved chance of returning to independent living.” Eberly added, “Falls are one of the greatest concerns of the elderly.” The Centers for Disease Control has reported that more than a third of American adults 65 and older fall each year—and falls are the leading cause of death by injury for seniors. Technology can be a good prescription for caregivers’ health, too, Eberly said. According to testimony delivered by the Alzheimer’s Association to the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging, one in eight caregivers providing care to those with Alzheimer’s becomes ill or injured as a result of caregiving. Technology can relieve some of the stress by giving family members the opportunity to take breaks from their caregiving responsibilities.

$ (NAPS)—More than two thirds of Americans aged 55 or older have had an eye exam in the last year to maintain their vision, yet 80 percent do not know that age-related macular degeneration, or AMD, is a leading cause of vision loss in people over 60, according to a new national survey. The survey, conducted by Opinion Research Corporation, found that only 46 percent of the 1,169 respondents could correctly identify the risk factors for this serious, progressive eye disease and just half could identify any one symptom. Of the 24 percent who are familiar with AMD, only 31 percent were aware that treatment options exist for the disease. AMD occurs when the macula—the central portion of the retina that is important for reading and color vision—becomes damaged. There are two forms of AMD—wet and dry. All cases begin as the dry form, but 10 percent to 15 percent progress to the more serious wet form, which can result in sudden and severe central vision loss. Without treatment, central vision can be lost over time, leaving only peripheral, or side, vision. In its early stages, AMD may not cause any noticeable symptoms. As the disease advances, symptoms may occur in one eye or both, and can include blurred vision, difficulty reading or recognizing faces, blind spots developing in the middle of the field of vision, colors becoming hard to distinguish and distortion causing edges or lines to appear wavy, according to research by the AMD Alliance and the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center. If a person develops any of these symptoms, an eye exam is crucial and early diagnosis and treatment is essential to help avoid severe vision loss. A retina specialist should be consulted if there is a diagnosis of wet AMD, to ensure the most appropriate care. Approximately 15 million people in the United States have AMD, and more than 1.7 million Americans have the advanced form of the disease. About 200,000 new cases of wet AMD are diagnosed each year in North America. Due to the aging baby boomer population, the National Eye Institute estimates that the prevalence of advanced AMD will grow to nearly 3 million by 2020. The greatest risk factor for AMD is age. Other risk factors include gender (women tend to be at greater risk), race (Caucasians are more likely to lose vision from AMD) and family history. Living a healthy lifestyle can help reduce the risk of developing AMD. Several risk factors can be managed with your healthcare provider’s help, including obesity and smoking. For additional information about AMD visit www.eyeonamd.org.

Sweet potatoes: Adding flavor and nutrition to traditional dishes (ARA) - What's sweet, filling, can be used in many types of cooking and contains no fat, saturated fat, trans fat or cholesterol? The answer is sweet potatoes, a traditional, yet often overlooked component in traditional American cuisine.
contain more fiber than a bowl of oatmeal, and they are packed with vitamins A and C. Additionally, they contain such key nutrients as vitamins B6 and E, calcium, copper, iron, folate and almost as much potassium as a banana.
For many of us, sweet potatoes have been a staple side dish at family gatherings for years. Sweet potatoes stand well on their own - baked or mashed - because of their distinctive sweet-andsavory-at-once flavor. What many people may not realize is those same attributes make sweet potatoes a refreshing addition to many traditional dishes that could use a little boost.
The distinctive taste of this super-nutritious root vegetable may also have led you to believe that it doesn't marry well with other flavors. But the truth is whether they're standing on their own or blended into your favorite dish, sweet potatoes offer taste and nutrition with every bite.
Spring and summer holidays are the perfect opportunity to try a new take on your traditional dishes. Try adding sweet potatoes to your Easter casserole, baking mom a sweet potato pie for Mother's Day or cooking some sweet potato fries to accompany hot dogs and hamburgers on the Fourth of July. If you're looking for some recipes to get you started, the United States Sweet Potato Council offers all kinds of different takes on cooking sweet potatoes at Sweet potatoes contain natural sugars -- they're something good www.sweetpotatousa.org or try this Cheesy Ham and Sweet Potato that's good for you. They may be the most nutritious vegetable Casserole for your next gathering: available, and they're available all year round. Sweet potatoes Have you ever thought of adding sweet potatoes to your ham casserole, cornbread or even a staple such as chili? You may have noticed that many forms of ethnic cooking, such as Thai and Indian food, use sweet potatoes liberally, but the truth is sweet potatoes fit right in with many recipes in standard American cuisine.
Cheesy Ham and Sweet Potato Casserole Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds fresh sweet potatoes Salted water 1/4 cup butter or margarine 1/2 cup chopped onion 1/4 cup flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon basil, crushed 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard 1/8 teaspoon pepper 1 1/2 cup milk 1 1/2 cups grated Swiss cheese 3/4 pounds cooked ham, cubed
Directions: Wash sweet potatoes. Cook unpeeled sweet potatoes, covered, in small amount of boiling salted water until tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. Cool. Peel and slice 1/4-inch thick; set aside. Melt butter in medium saucepan. Add onion, cook until tender. Remove from heat; stir in flour, salt, basil, mustard and pepper. Cook over low heat until bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in milk all at once. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Boil and stir one minute. Remove from heat. Stir in 3/4 cup of the cheese and the ham. Pour half of mixture into greased 2-quart casserole dish. Arrange half of sweet potatoes on top. Repeat layers. Bake at 350 F for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake three to four minutes longer, or until cheese has melted. Makes six servings.

Help Seniors Fight Fraud Seniors are too often victimized by telemarketing fraud. Studies from the American Association of Retired Persons have shown that many elderly fraud victims simply don't suspect the person soliciting money on the phone could be a criminal. The FBI reports that there are as many as 14,000 illegal telemarketing operations going on at any given time. These illegal operations generate as much as $40 billion a year. Relatives of seniors are understandably concerned, particularly if those seniors live alone and no one is around to monitor how many calls they're receiving from telemarketers. Concerned relatives can share the following information with seniors to reduce their loved ones' risks of being victimized by telemarketing fraud. * Legitimate marketers are not in a rush to sell products or secure donations. A legitimate marketer or charity will not try to pressure prospective buyers into making a purchase over the phone or prospective donors into making immediate contributions. Explain to seniors that a legitimate marketer will accept a person's desire for written information about the products or charity and will gladly send such information to a prospective buyer or donor's home. * Payments are typically not picked up by a courier service. Telemarketing fraudsters often employ couriers to pick up payments. This is not the action of a reputable charity or
business, and seniors should never agree to buy a product or donate money to any telemarketer who offers to send a courier to their home to pick up payment. * Sweepstakes cannot legally require payment to win a prize. It is not legal for contests or sweepstakes to require "winners" pay a fee before they can enter a contest or claim a prize. Seniors should be made aware that this is the law and that any contest or sweepstakes demanding payment is bogus. * Be especially wary of companies offering to recover money paid to fraudulent telemarketers in the past. Companies offering to recover past money lost to fraud are often fraudulent themselves. These companies will offer their fraudulent services for a fee. * Money lost to a fraudulent telemarketer is likely lost forever. Men and women concerned about elderly friends or relatives being victimized by telemarketing fraud should explain to their loved ones that money lost in a telemarketing scam is not likely to be recovered. This should help highlight the importance of receiving official documentation from any telemarketers before buying a product or making a donation. If seniors are aware their money isn't likely to be recovered should it be going to a criminal, they are much less likely to make hasty decisions over the phone.

Spring Festivals Around the Globe Many people might not associate spring with festivals, but that does not mean this season of rebirth isn't host to festivals celebrated globally. In fact, people of various religions and cultures anxiously anticipate the arrival of spring, which coincides with a host of festivals commemorating important historical events. A few festivals that will be celebrated this spring include:
* Holi: Commonly referred to as the Festival of Colors, Holi is a religious festival celebrated by Hindus and Sikhs each spring. Primarily observed in India, Nepal and Sri Lanka, the celebration includes throwing colored powder and scented water at one another. Songs are sung and food preparations often begin many days in advance. But the festival's main emphasis is on the burning of the Holika, a holy bonfire symbolic of the annihilation of the demoness Holika. * Easter: Christians are well aware that Easter, the most important day in the Christian calendar, occurs each spring. Easter commemorates the resurrection of

With Spring comes warmth, growth and a rebirth of spirit. It’s the same at Carillon Assisted Living. We’ve created a warm, caring environment that emphasizes social activities and wellness for seniors who simply need assistance with day to-day living. And The Garden Place at Carillon provides unsurpassed care for adults with Alzheimer’s, whether it’s long term or respite care. If you’re caring for a loved one, but need more assistance, come to Carillon. It could mean a new start – for the entire family.
Jesus Christ three days after his crucifixion. For Catholics, the arrival of Easter marks the end of Lent, a season that begins on Ash Wednesday and focuses on prayer and sacrifice. Catholics typically "give up" something for Lent, such as avoiding the consumption of meat on Fridays throughout the Lenten season. The Friday before Easter, which always falls on a Sunday, is called Good Friday and is also one of the holiest days of the year in the Christian faith. This day commemorates the crucifixion of Christ. * Nowruz: The celebration of the ancient Iranian New Year, Nowruz is often referred to as the Persian New Year. Nowruz marks the first day of spring and the beginning of the year in Iran and is celebrated on the day of the vernal equinox. Today, the festival of Nowruz is typically celebrated in countries that were either influenced or under the control of the Persian Empire. Such countries include Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan. Traditions include spending a day enjoying nature and spending the first few days of the festival visiting older members of the family.

* Purim: The Jewish festival of Purim does not always occur during the spring season, as its date correlates to the Hebrew calendar. In 2011, however, the festival does end at nightfall on March 20, which is the first day of spring. This festival commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people throughout the ancient Persian Empire from the plot by Haman to exterminate them, as recorded in the Old Testament Book of Esther. Jews mark the festival with a recitation of the Book of Esther and by giving mutual gifts of food and drink to one another. Additional traditions include giving to the poor or less fortunate, a celebratory meal and even the wearing of masks and costumes.

Smart Choice Senior Transitions, LLC, is a Salisbury company specializing in assisting older adults when they need to downsize and relocate, or to right-size their current home for retirement safety and comfort. Smart Choice Senior Transitions is owned by Jo Kearns, a Certified Relocation and Transition Specialist® (CRTS), and a member of the National Association of Senior Move Managers (NASMM). “The Senior-Friendly Business Certification is an important acknowledgement by the Council on Aging, and I am proud that my business was able to earn this recognition,” commented Kearns. An industry is developing to support our increasing older population’s needs for advice, planning and assistance surrounding decisions to downsize and move to a retirement community, or to make the adjustments to their current homes that will make it possible for them to age-in-place. Kearns explained, “Not everyone has family close by to help. In some cases, when there are family members nearby, they are working and cannot take a lot of time off to assist their elders. This is where Senior Move Managers can make the difference in an older person’s ability to successfully transition to a new residence. We can reduce the stress for the people who are relocating, as well as reducing it for their family members. If the elder has decided to remain in their home, we help declutter and organize the home to make it elder-friendly.” The Council on Aging has offered the business certification program to local businesses since 2009. The program seeks to recognize businesses that have not only met the legal compliances of the Americans with Disabilities Act, but have also demonstrated a clear and conscious effort to be “senior-friendly.” To date, nine businesses have received the
local designation. Today, more and more businesses are recognizing that older adults are valued employees and customers. The Senior-Friendly Business Certification Program was created to acknowledge those businesses which have instituted and promoted best practices toward employment, independence, and service to older adults. Companies agree to abide by certain “senior friendly” standards, and to educate their employees on the truths, rather than the myths, about aging. Smart Choice Senior Transitions agreed to undergo evaluations of their offices and business practices conducted by older adult volunteers associated with the Council on Aging. Using objective assessment tools, these volunteers reviewed how the business deals with the older adult customers they serve. For more information about Smart Choice Senior Transitions, view the website at www.SmartChoiceSeniorTransition s.com or contact Jo Kearns at 704-633-2792 or Jo@SmartChoiceSeniorTransitions .com . The Rowan County Council on Aging was re-organized in January 2007 for the purpose of educating and informing individuals and the community about public issues effecting older adults; to develop strategies for improving conditions for older adults in Rowan County; to advocate for older adult needs and public policies to address them; and to promote a “senior friendly community.” To learn more about the Senior Friendly Business Certification Program or the Rowan County Council on Aging, contact Rufty-Holmes Senior Center in Salisbury.

Operation Medicine Cabinet: Get Rid of Old Medicines on April 30th Submitted by Crystal Dickerson, Home Instead Senior Care
Home Instead Senior Care of Salisbury/Rowan County, the Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy of Salisbury, RuftyHolmes Senior Center, and the Salisbury Police Department have joined together to host Home Instead Senior Care’s Operation Medicine Cabinet. The purpose of this bi-annual event is to encourage the community to dispose of expired or no longer used medications in a safe manner. Operation Medicine Cabinet will be held on Saturday, April 30 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy, 1357 W. Innes Street, Salisbury. The first 150 participants will receive gift bags. All participants will enjoy refreshments, and will also be entered to win a $25 gift certificate to the Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy. Anyone in the community may “drive through and drop off” both prescription and over-the-counter medications. All pills, patches, creams, ointments, liquids, and injectables will be accepted, as will needles and other sharps. The Salisbury Police Department will be on hand to oversee the safe and secure collection of medications. After the event, the medications collected will be weighed and then properly destroyed by the police department. Home Instead Senior Care began this program to protect seniors from accidentally using expired medications or medications that are no longer prescribed for them. The average senior

takes four to six different prescriptions a day and refills their prescriptions 12 to 17 times a year, according to the health-care company Arcadia Healthcare. Furthermore, 28 percent of geriatric hospitalizations are attributed to adverse medication reactions, the group said. Operation Medicine Cabinet also benefits our youth. Each year in the United States, more than 71,000 children aged 18 and younger are seen in emergency rooms for unintentional overdoses of prescription and over-thecounter drugs. In addition, every day, approximately 2,500 teens abuse a prescription painkiller for the first time. The event also protects our environment by providing a safe way to dispose of medications so that they are not introduced into landfills or the water supply. Contamination of the water supply has become a serious concern for both people and animals. “It just makes sense for us to offer this service to our neighbors,” says Medicine Shoppe pharmacist Teresa Casmus. “Every prescription that is disposed of through this event will be one less prescription endangering our community. We hope the whole town will consider the serious nature of this issue and rally around our collection to do something about it.” For more information about Operation Medicine Cabinet, contact Home Instead Senior Care at 704-636-2010.
