Congregation vows to rebuild after fire levels church Lightning strike blamed BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com
As the last flames inside Corriher Heights Baptist Church were extinguished Tuesday, firefighters, neighbors and church members stood silently looking at the remains of what was once an anchor in their community. Firefighters from multiple departments fought the fire at 1980 N.C. 153 for several hours. The roof of the church collapsed, and the steeple fell just inside the doors of the sanctuary. All that remains are the walls of the church, a billboard from the fellowship hall, and a small amount of furniture.
Corriher Heights Pastor Chris Pethel said that hours into the fire he received several invitations from area pastors, inviting the congregation of Corriher Heights to join worship services. But Pethel has other plans: He hopes to hold the 11 a.m. Sunday worship service at Corriher Heights this Sunday, after work begins clearing out the debris from the fellowship hall this afternoon. “God’s greater than fire,” Pethel said. “We’ll rebuild.” The Rowan County Fire Marshal’s Office said a witness saw lightning strike the church about 5:30 a.m., which they say is what set the church ablaze.
Arvil Black, 71, lives behind the church, and has been attending it since he was 14. He heard the lightning strike, but he thought a transformer had blown, so he went back to bed. Black said his wife’s son went to the church, saw smoke, and opened the front doors to find the pews on fire. “The way I look at it, it had to be the Lord’s work,” Black said. “And lightning. You can’t control nature.” ••• Janet Pethel, wife of Chris Pethel, says Sunday’s worship services were the best in some time. “Sunday we had the best services,” she said. “There was something special about our services. “In fact, Sunday night we
sat in our living room talking about just how sweet the Lord had been Sunday.” But even though the memories are gone, she said, “we know the Lord has spoken and moved us in a new direction.” The church had recently finalized blueprints for a new sanctuary, and planned to use the old sanctuary and fellowship hall as Sunday school classrooms. And now the plans will change, members say. “We’re gonna have a brand new church,” Chairman of the Deacon Board Bruce Wilson said of the very church where he and his wife, Hazel, became Christians 40 years ago. “There’s a reason for this — get it out of the way so we can

Power outages that forced the RowanSalisbury School System to cancel classes Tuesday won’t wreak havoc on the district’s schedule. Spokeswoman Rita Foil said students will not make up the day. “Since children were already arriving at school, the day is counted as a school day,” she said in an e-mail to the Post. Foil said about 20 of the district’s 35 schools were without power Tuesday morning. The school system sent out an automated phone message notifying parents that schools would be closed for the day after some students had already arrived at school. “There was no communication to our district about power outages until after the buses began rolling early this morning, which is approximately 5 a.m.,” Foil said in an e-mail to the Post. “An emergency Connect-ED message was sent out as soon as possible; because of the power outages the message did not go out as quickly as it would have under more normal conditions.” Ann Furr said when she pulled up to drop her daughter Micah off at Erwin

SALISBURY — A surprise key to the city, awarded Tuesday at the Mayor’s Spirit Luncheon, didn’t stop William Peoples from challenging city officials a few hours later. While City Council considered stiffer parking penalties meant to prevent downtown employees from hogging two-hour spaces, Peoples spoke up. “But what about the consumer?” he asked. “Will they have to be penalized too?” Peoples warned the new parking ordinance might keep shoppers away from downtown. “Aren’t you biting the hand that feeds you?” he said. If anyone thought the city’s highest honor would quiet Peoples, a longtime critic and inquisitor of city policies and leaders, they learned Tuesday that nothing has changed. “This is just going to make me work a litSUSAN KLUTTZ tle harder,” he said Salisbury mayor while choking back tears after Mayor Susan Kluttz handed him the award at her biannual luncheon, which celebrates racial and religious diversity. One of 15 children, Peoples lost both parents before he graduated from high school. Raised by grandparents in the Dixonville neighborhood, Peoples said he was humbled

and surprised by the award. He encouraged others to help make the city a better place. “It’s easy to stand on the sidelines and complain, but if you want to make a difference, you roll up your sleeves and get involved,” Peoples said. “If you don’t put nothing in, you don’t get nothing out of it.” Peoples often criticizes the system but doesn’t buck it. He’s an active member of city groups tackling everything from gang prevention to race relations, and police have roused him with middle-ofthe-night phone calls to help diffuse situations fraught with racial tension. Past president of the local NAACP, he’s also a member of Covenant Community Connection, which hosts the Mayor’s Spirit Luncheons. Kluttz lured Peoples to the podium Tuesday by asking him to speak about the city’s new $170,000 federal grant to plan redevelopment of the West End neighborhood. He did so, eloquently. Peoples said he envisions housing for people both poor and middle class. A city within a city where children have recreation and a learning lab with computers, and where veterans have housing and services. “If Salisbury is going to be the greatest city....we have to bring up the less desirable areas,” he said. “We have a chance to make the West End our crowning glory.” After a year of planning, the city will compete for up to $30 million in federal funds that would pay to demolish and rebuild Civic Park Apartments and transform the West End. Peoples pointed out the differences between the city’s haves and have-nots. “I’ve always said if people get off the beaten path of OctoberTour and make it down Monroe Street and see the apartments, what would they think of Salisbury then?” he

Neighboring school systems also affected Several other local school districts also dealt with power outages Tuesday. Davidson County Schools canceled school due to severe damage to the area and loss of power at six schools. Michelle Hill, assistant to the district’s spokeswoman, said parents and staff were notified of the closings before school.
SCHOOLS FROM 1a Middle School she was greeted by an employee holding a pink poster that said “no school.” “I’m just a little frustrated that I didn’t receive a call until I returned home and there was a message on my answering machine at 7:48 a.m.,” she said. “Is this the best we can do? “Something went wrong and the breakdown in communication needs to be addressed.” Furr said delays and cancelations due to winter weather usually come at about 5:30 a.m. “I would have liked to see a two-hour delay to allow time for more assesment and give everybody a heads up,” she said. Furr said she tried to call the school system’s central office. Keith Davidson picked his son Chase up from Overton Elementary on Tuesday morning after getting a call from his wife shortly after dropping him off. “There’s been a lot of confusion this morning,” he said. “Just poor communication.” Antonio McCullough said
Iredell-Statesville Schools delayed school by two hours Tuesday, canceling class completely at three schools without power. Despite power outages at 30 Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, the district did not cancel or delay classes, but operated on generators. Power had been restored at 16 of the
he didn’t find out school was canceled until after he dropped his son Antonio Jr. off at the bus stop for Overton and arrived back home to get ready for work. “They could have contacted people a little sooner, but I think they handled it to the best of their ability,” he said. McCullough, who works at Cloninger Ford, had to miss work to stay home with his son. “We’ll find something to do,” he said. “I’m sure he’s got school work we can work on.” Sydney Chmiel also had to take the day off from her job in downtown Salisbury to stay home with her children Sophie and Parker. Furr, the parent who learned classes were cancelled when she took her daughter to Erwin Middle, said she’s lucky she runs a family farm from home, so she didn’t have to call out of work. “We’re just going to work on the farm today,” she said. • • • Car riders’ parents were contacted to pick them up.

Dog-catchers packin’ crossbows

90 DAYS UP TO 12 MONTHS FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — Cumberland County Animal Services has trained two workers to use a crossbow if needed to keep stray dogs from attacking. Animal Services Director John Lauby told The Fayetteville Observer that pack dogs are wily and difficult to catch alive. And he says shotguns and rifles are dangerous to use in neighborhoods because bul-
lets can ricochet. Lauby says about seven packs of wild dogs roamed Fayetteville last summer and were responsible for at least one bite. Most encounters with pack dogs occur in neighborhoods at night, when the dogs are active. Lauby says he keeps the crossbow at his home and that it will be used only in extreme circumstances.

said. The government will look for cooperation, and community and business leaders have a responsibility to help Salisbury win the grant, he said. “You have a voice for people who don’t have a voice,” he said. Kluttz then took the podium and said she and Peoples had a “rocky start.” Peoples often criticizes the city for hiring too few minorities. He asks for personnel information the city can’t share, Kluttz said. But he’s also a valuable contributor, Kluttz said, and she’s come to understand and appreciate him. Peoples does what he does “out of love,” she said. “He is constantly promoting and asking what can we do better for this community,” she said. Calling him both a bulldozer and a bridge, City Manager David Treme said Peoples pressured the city to build new housing in the West End five years ago. The Salisbury Community Development Corporation built and sold about eight homes, Treme said. “He was a leader in identifying the need,” Treme said. After a rough start to their relationship, Treme now calls Peoples his brother and said they pray together. Pastor Henry Diggs said the award for Peoples and the diverse luncheons celebrating varied religions and cultures show how far the city has come. “We can disagree without being disagreeable,” Diggs said. “Differences are OK. That’s how we grow.” The thunder early Tuesday morning followed by sunshine in the afternoon symbolized Peoples’ relationship with city officials, Diggs said. “They went through rocky times, stormy times, and now the sun is shining,” he said. Peoples’ intentions, however, are more consistent than the weather. “I’m not going to let up,” he said. “We have to stay on the city and stay involved.” Contact reporter Emily Ford at 704-797-4264.

Cheerwine hopes to be nationwide in six years Beverage company unveils new “Legend” advertising campaign
SALISBURY — Cheerwine officials said Tuesday they hope the soft drink can be readily available in all 50 states by the company’s 100th anniversary. That would be six years from now. Cheerwine calls it the “Vision 50 X 100.”
For the Salisbury company, it’s not unlike the early 1960s when President Kennedy promised that the United States would land a man on the moon by the end of the decade. Cheerwine wants to be a national brand by 2017, a century after L.D. Peeler started with the cherry-flavored soft drink. “It’s a goal we think we can achieve, but it won’t be easy,” said

BARING SOLES FOR A CAUSE S
ALISBURY — Several dozen people bared their soles Tuesday as they walked down Innes Street through downtown. They shed their shoes as part of “One Day Without Shoes,” an event that promotes awareness about what it’s like for people in other counties who don’t have the luxury of footwear. The national event, sponsored by TOMS Shoes, provides a glimpse at what it’s like to walk barefoot over rocks, sticks and dirt, something children and adults alike have to do to get to school and find medical assistance. Sarah Heffner, a senior at Carson High School, organized the “One Day Without Shoes” event in Salisbury for the second year in a row, inviting people to come out and make signs, banners and T-shirts to sport during the walk. Nikki McCurry, 14, a freshman at Northwest Cabarrus High School, traveled to Salisbury for the event. She spent the entire day without shoes Tuesday. “I think it’s supporting a good cause and I think if you’re going to do something you need to do it all the way,” she said.

SALISBURY — Dorothy followed the yellow brick road, but Salisbury’s summer concert series will stray off the brick street and try two new venues this year. The line-up for Brick Street Live 2011 includes three shows on Fisher Street, where the series debuted last year and drew 12,000 people for six concerts. But promoters will venture to other parts of town this summer. They’ve booked two shows at Castaways on West Innes Street, and they’re asking the city to consider a one-day music festival in the 100 block of North Main Street. The Aug. 27 event, headlined by a Sugarcreek reunion concert, could draw 3,500 people,

China Grove ponders utility-contract terms BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
CHINA GROVE — The highlight of a proposed utility contract between the town and Salisbury-Rowan Utilities is a seven-year, tiered system that would see rates decrease over time. Interim Town Manager Ken Deal and town attorney Tom Brooke met with Salisbury-Rowan Utilities officials to discuss the terms on the contract Tuesday. Through a “stepdown system,” customers wouldn’t see a rate increase in the first year, but the contract is still being drafted, Deal said. The town of China Grove receives water from Salisbury-Rowan Utilities. The town entered into an agreement more than a decade ago when it used more water. See TERMS, 4A

The Rowan County Board of Elections is considering merging the two China Grove precincts, which are at China Grove Middle school and community building. It would be more economical to have just one precinct and provide a central location. Mayor Don Bringle said it would make more sense to close the school precinct since the school remained open in recent years while people were there voting. Director Nancy Evans said in a memo she would need to know by April 15.
The town has talked with Salisbury in the past about a possible merger that would reduce its rates. There has also been discussion of breaking the contract with Salisbury and doing business with other systems that offered lower rates. In February, town officials approved a resolution to transfer the water and sewer system to the control of Salisbury. The proposed contract also calls for $50,000 a year that would be available for projects that would “expand” the service. For example, if the town were to look into annexation or it could help with running the sewer lines.

CHEERWINE FROM 3a of the “Pepsi set” on grocery store shelves in Tennessee, in Pepsi vending machines and, Barbitta hopes, available soon in the Pepsi line of fountain drinks. If Cheerwine does well in Tennessee, Pepsi “might be interested in going other places with us,” Barbitta said. But he and Ritchie stressed that Cheerwine will partner with the best distribution opportunities available as it expands market by market. Cheerwine started shipping finished product to Tennessee in January. The company hopes it soon can be produced there, too. Pepsi Bottling Ventures in Raleigh also is a partner with Cheerwine in several states. Cheerwine has reasons to believe it can grow. While cola sales have been declining, the growth in soft drinks has been in flavors. “That’s a wonderful story for us,” Barbitta said. The company’s market research shows that fountain drink sales are 5.5 percent higher when Cheerwine is in the line of drinks offered. Sales are 1.5 percent less when Cheerwine is not included. In vending machines, Cheerwine represents a $133 “margin of contribution” per machine when it is among the drinks offered, Barbitta said. The “Legend” marketing campaign, fashioned by a Manhattan agency, targets “the 18-year-old in all of us,” not necessarily just 18-yearolds, Barbitta said. The strategy includes new billboards, truck displays, radio spots, website development, social networks and packaging. It plays on the notion that Cheerwine, over its 94 years, has earned credence as a legendary brand — a “true passion brand,” whose consumers show a “loyalty beyond reason,” Barbitta said. People drive out of their way for Cheerwine and Cheerwine lovers have had it shipped over the world,
Ritchie noted. Also part of the “legend” and backstory is that independent, privately held Cheerwine is the oldest continuing soft drink company still run by the same family — five generations. The company’s research and consumer surveys revealed people associate Cheerwine with being young, bubbles, flavor, fun and even “forbidden fruit,” Barbitta said, and that will translate well to propelling the brand forward. He called it a “Trickster archetype” and promised Cheerwine ads will be “a little bit brazen” and “a little bit up in your ice chest.” Cheerwine gave a preview Tuesday of some of its new radio ads, two of which have a direct connection to Salisbury. The “Caper” spot tells the story of criminals who broke into a Salisbury convenience store and left everything but the Cheerwine. The “Battle of the Bulge” tells how a 19-year-old Bob Morgan of Rowan County had two bottles of Cheerwine delivered to him at his machine gun position, his handing of the second bottle to his friend, Doc, and how they then gave the Nazis hell the rest of the day during some fierce fighting in Europe during World War II. Morgan was on hand Tuesday as Cheerwine unveiled its expansion plans at the Country Club of Salisbury. Ritchie said Cheerwine has been keeping its national goal “all under wraps” and it was great Tuesday to be able to share it with partner bottlers from the Carolinas and Virginia. Winston-Salem’s Krispy Kreme also went national — with mixed results. Cheerwine’s strategy will be to develop contiguous markets, such as Tennessee, and grow from there, using the best distributors available. “You can overreach yourself, so you have to be careful,” Ritchie said. Contact Mark Wineka at 704-797-4263, or mwineka@ salisburypost.com.
‘Legendary among us’ While unveiling Cheerwine’s new “Legend” marketing campaign Tuesday, President and Chief Executive Officer Cliff Ritchie introduced some employees, friends and partners who “are legendary among us.” They included: • Ray Kepley, who has worked with Cheerwine since 1968, from the days when most of the bottles were returnable. • Brenda Gardner and Barbara Kilby, sisters who combined have worked in the Cheerwine office in Salisbury for 73 years, since the days of rotary telephones and typewriters. • Raymond Ritchie, the father of Cliff, who started work at Cheerwine in 1951, when 6-ounce bottles were all the company sold. “Cheerwine has been mighty good to me and good to our family,” Ritchie said. “I thank the Lord for it.” • Innes Street Drug Co., a Salisbury business that has been selling Cheerwine at its drugstore fountain since 1926. Today, it also is headquarters for the sale of Cheerwine clothing and memorabilia. • Fred Camp, a representative of Choice Beverage, which has been a partner with Cheerwine since the 1920s and is an original Cheerwine franchisee. • Bob Morgan, longtime Salisbury resident and former car dealer whose story about receiving two bottles of Cheerwine prior to a day of fierce fighting against the Germans in World War II will be featured in an upcoming radio ad. Morgan said he first started drinking Cheerwine as a youngster in the Liberty community, where store owner Jack Earnhardt would sell a slice of cheese, a baloney sandwich and a Cheerwine for 15 cents. “You had a pretty good deal,” he said.

Downtown Salisbury Inc. seeks raise in tax rate FINES SALISBURY — Downtown Salisbury Inc. asked the city to increase the tax rate downtown because property values have fallen by $8 million. The city has a Municipal Service District with a special tax levied on downtown property owners. Downtown Salisbury asked City Council Tuesday to increase the rate from 16 cents per $100 of valuation to 17.5 cents. This year, property in downtown is valued at $84.7 million. But after revaluation, the value falls to $76.7 million. About 43 percent of Downtown Salisbury’s $288,000 budget comes from the Municipal Service District tax. The city’s appropriation makes up 32 percent, with the remainder coming from management of the Plaza and other sources. Paula Bohland, president of the downtown board, asked the city to maintain its $98,500 appropriation, which has remained flat since 2008. City Manager David Treme will present a budget for the next fiscal year May 3. The city must cover a $2.7 million shortfall, as well as a $200 million decrease in the city’s property tax base after
LINEUP FROM 3a one how drew 2,500 people, Miller said. He called the band “the Backstreet Boys that never made it.” Miller said he will work closely with Salisbury Police and Alcohol Law Enforcement. He said merchants and tenants in the 100 block of North Main support his plan. City Council will hold a public hearing April 19 to be sure. While the street would
close at the Square between Spanky’s and the Plaza, the stage would stand at the other end of the block, away from most residential apartments. The natural grade will create an outdoor amphitheater for spectators on blankets or lawn chairs, Miller said. Mayor Susan Kluttz said she favors the proposal but wants to hear from business owners and residents. Councilman Paul Woodson said the event could boost business in that block. Miller said he received requests from businesses and people in other parts of the city to bring Brick Street Live to other venues.

Nine more should meet the upcoming two-year deadline, she said. Restaurants that comply early are rewarded. The city has granted about $22,000 in incentives. • Council agreed to pursue Congestion Mitigation Air Quality funding to pay for sidewalks from Livingstone College to Kelsey Scott Park ($300,000) and build bicycles loops along West Innes Street and around Catawba College ($325,000). If approved, federal dollars would pay 80 percent of the cost of the projects and the city would pay 20 percent. Salisbury can compete for Congestion Mitigation Air Quality funding because the city has poor air quality. The city had about 30 ozone action days last summer, when it was not safe for children or people with asthma to be outside, City Engineer Dan Mikkelson said.
So far, the city has used CMAQ money to start the Rowan Express bus service, offer free bus fare and build sidewalks, including along Statesville Boulevard and at Salisbury High School. Projects totaled $1 million. Approved but not completed projects, which total $8 million and would require $1 million from the city, include new a traffic signal system, public bus expansion, a bike lane on Newsome Road and sidewalks at Salisbury Mall, South Main Street, Bringle Ferry Road and Newsome Road. City Council will vote on each project before committing the money. • The city will hold a neighborhood meeting at 6 p.m. April 18 at Southside Baptist Church, 517 Morlan Park Road, to discuss installing automatic warning systems at railroad crossings on Pearl Street, Tower Drive and Davis Street. • The city will apply for a grant that could save the Lash Drive Connector, a van route that links residents of Crosswinds Apartments, Lakewood, Laurel Pointe, Hidden Cove and Fleming Heights to the nearby Food Lion and Salisbury Mall.

tor for Downtown Salisbury Inc. If shoppers from out of town receive a parking ticket and alert a merchant, Downtown Salisbury often will pay the ticket for them, City Planner Joe Morris said. Study after study has shown sufficient free, all-day parking for people who work downtown, City Engineer Dan Mikkelson said. And most shoppers don’t exceed the two-hour limit, he said. New directional signs going up this summer will direct people to parking lots. The city rarely enforces the two-hour time limit on weekends. Salisbury generously of-

Man indicted after trying to run Strongest Man competition Saturday over someone with his car BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — A Salisbury man who was charged in December with trying to run over a man with his car, was indicted on those charges by a Rowan County grand jury. Robert Eugene Craver, 33, was indicted on felony assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, felony possession/attempted possession of a firearm while a protective order was in place, resist/obstruct/delay an officer and possession of a firearm by a felon.

Clodfelter said Craver aimed the car at him, accelerated, and hit him in the knees, knocking him to the ground. He got up and went to the back of the car to get the license plate number, and Craver accelerated and hit him again. Craver was with a female at a Flowers Lane residence and Clodfelter, who recently moved out, came by to pick up some of his things.

Buck Steam Station releases cooling water SPENCER — The Buck Steam Station released about 8,100 gallons of cooling water into the Yadkin River Friday in an unpermitted wastewater discharge that lasted 30 minutes, Duke Energy said in a press release. The water released to the river contained no coal combustion byproducts or sanitary waste; it was primarily river water used to cool motors that collects through floor drains in the powerhouse, the utility said. A powerhouse sump pump is out of service for repairs. While awaiting re-
pair, a temporary pump is routing process water from the powerhouse to a storm drain and ultimately to a series of treatment ponds, which make a permitted wastewater discharge to the river. The pump hose was relocated to another drain, inadvertently routing water directly to the river for about 30 minutes. The situation was rectified immediately upon discovery. The water went through an oil-water separator prior to release. The station has taken corrective action to
ensure all employees understand the drainage system that is unique to each facility. The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources has been notified. State regulations require that the owner or operator of any wastewater collection or treatment system — other than those systems that collect or treat municipal or domestic wastewater — issue a news release when a wastewater release of 1,000 gallons or more reaches surface waters.
Chicken and dumplings fundraiser to benefit cancer victim On April 16, there will be a fundraising dinner for Ann Layell from noon to 8 p.m. at Central Baptist Church in Kannapolis. Layell has had her own business for 27 years, taking down and installing wallpaper both comLAYELL mercially and in individual homes. On June 23, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. A tumor the size of a grape-
fruit was found on her ovary, along with cancer cells in her lower bowel area. The tumor was removed. Two weeks after the surgery, Layell developed a hematoma about the same size as her tumor and had a blockage in her lower bowel. She went through a second surgery. In September, she started aggressive chemotherapy which lasted until the second week of January. She is continuing to take another experimental drug for the upcoming year that will hopefully stop new cancer cells from forming.
Layell has finally had to stop her business. Her only finances consist of Social Security Disability. She is faced with extensive medical bills and the possibility of selling or losing her home. Organizers hope is that Layell’s friends, family, business partners and customers come together for the fundraiser. The dinner will consist of chicken and dumplings, slaw, bread, cake and tea. All donations should be made out to Central Baptist Church. Contact Beverly Butts at 704-642-0497 for further information.

AREA/CONTINUED
Home-repair scammers may follow in storm’s wake CHARLOTTE — If you have damage to your home, your roof or trees on your property from Tuesday’s storm, the BBB is warning to watch out for “storm chasers.” “All it takes is a business card, a cellphone, some photocopied fliers and a hammer for someone to claim they are a contractor,” said BBB President Tom Bartholomy. “The contractor who shows up may actually be a ‘storm chaser’ who is based out-of-state and is using his pickup truck as an office. “The number one type of home repair that consumers are researching with the BBB right now is roofing,” added Bartholomy.
The BBB advises homeowners to be wary of contractors who promise work at cut-rate prices. They may show up at your door, advertise in local newspapers or put fliers in your mailbox. “Homeowners should hire a local contractor with a good track record,” said Bartholomy. “There are thousands of reputable contractors who will deliver quality work, on time and within budget.” BBB’s Home Repair Checklist: 10 Tips for Hiring a Contractor: • Track record: Check out a company’s BBB rating and complaint history at www.bbb.org. You can also call the BBB at 704-927-8611 or 877-
317-7236, toll-free. Customer service staff are available from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. • Cost comparisons: Get at least three bids in writing and be sure you compare the bids based on the same warranty, specifications, labor and time. • Licensing: Check to see if the company you plan to hire has the proper licensing. In North Carolina, contractors must be licensed if the total job exceeds $30,000. • Insurance: Verify the company’s liability insurance to protect you against damage. You can also check with the department of insurance in your state.
The North Carolina Department of Insurance can be contacted at 800546-5664. • References: Ask for references from the company’s last three jobs and check them out before you sign a contract. Do not hire someone who is driving through your neighborhood or who puts a flier in your mailbox and claims to be doing work with your neighbors. • Written contract: Do not permit work to start without a signed, written contract that includes start and completion dates, exact costs, specific work to be done and warranty information. Be sure to read the fine print carefully.
• Deposit required and payment: Do not pay more than 25 percent to 33 percent of the total job cost as a deposit. Final payment should not be due until the job is completed. Do not pay in cash. • Warranty: Get warranty information in writing on products and installation. Read the fine print. • Bonding: Be sure all workers are bonded to protect you against theft and damage. • Criminal history: Check out anyone you allow into your home to see if they have a criminal history. The state’s website to search offender lists is at www.doc.state. nc.us/offenders.

CLEANUP FroM 1a cluding a handful of reports in eastern Rowan. ••• Winds toppled trees in Gold Hill, downing power lines and closing St. Stephen’s Church Road. The old Gold Hill Post Office, which now houses Frankie Harrison’s store the Gold Miner’s Daughter, narrowly avoided damage when the top of an old cedar tree snapped and fell beside the building. Near Gold Hill on Old Beatty Ford Road, a hickory tree limb fell on the front porch and roof of Southern Grace. Also on Old Beatty Ford, an oak tree fell and narrowly missed Brenda Shue’s house, but crushed a small car shed and her 2006 Chevrolet HHR. Richard Kolbasowski said he and his wife Gloria never went to sleep Monday at their home on Brookwood Drive in Granite Quarry. The creek near their house frequently floods under heavy rains and the couple have been forced to evacuate numerous times in the past few years. “So we stay awake when there’s a big storm, and we heard it coming, and it was amazing,” Kolbasowski said Tuesday afternoon. “I mean it was loud.” The storm downed about 10 trees on their property, including one that fell on the kennel where they keep their dogs, Sandy and Susie. The dogs were inside with the couple during the storm. ••• A local state of emergency was declared at 10 a.m. Tuesday to allow for certain sections of the county’s emergency operations plan to complete damage assessments and damage recovery. About 35 damage reports had been taken by assessment crews Tuesday afternoon, which Thomason called “fairly significant.” Thomason said the assessments will allow the county to share collected data with the state disaster recovery offi-

The state disaster team could eventually end up in Rowan this week to “further quantify and qualify” information the county’s already collected, and revisit sites, Thomason said. And it’s very likely the county will discover new damage between now and the time the state’s team comes to Rowan, if they come. “We had citizens that suffered significant damage to their residences, roof damage, tree damage, and we’ve had some commercial businesses that have suffered damage also,” Thomason said. “I’m sure everyone has been making phone calls to their insurance companies today.” Because of the large volume of calls, some local residents said their insurance companies told them it may be a while before a representative can come out to assess property damage. A couple said they were advised to take photos to record the
damage. ••• John Gurtowski heard a loud crack around 2:15 a.m. When Gurtowski ventured outside his home at 712 S. Church St. a few hours later, he discovered a tree behind the house had uprooted and fallen over, caving in the passenger side of his wife Charlotte’s car and taking out sections of their fence. “I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, she’s going to cry,’ ” Gurtowski said of the reaction he expected from his wife when he told her about the damage to her 2005 Chrysler Concorde, which had shattered windows and flattened at least one tire. “She was a little upset.” Gurtowski said as bad as it was, he was thankful the storm didn’t bring down a 19-footround tree in the front yard that has huge branches hanging over the house. A large tree uprooted and fell onto the garage of a home on Goodnight Road in western Rowan County. Another tree fell onto a home at 275 Gwenn St. off U.S. 70, but the porch took most of the impact. Joan Benfield said her hus-
band, Billy, was sleeping on the side of the house where she heard a crash in the early morning. “I hollered at him, ‘What are you doing?’ He said, ‘That wasn’t me,’” Benfield said. When she looked outside, she saw that the 50-year-old tree in their yard had split near the base and crashed onto the porch. It also pinned down a telephone line, but the house didn’t lose power. “We knew the tree was
Food safety • Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible. First use perishable food from the refrigerator. An unopened refrigerator will keep foods cold for about four hours. • Then use food from the freezer. A full freezer will keep the temperature for about 48 hours (24 hours if it is half full) if the door remains closed. • Use nonperishable foods and staples after using food from the refrigerator and freezer. • If it looks like the power outage will continue beyond a day, prepare a cooler with ice for your freezer items. • Keep food in a dry, cool spot and keep it covered at all times. • If you are not sure food is cold enough, take its temperature with the food thermometer. Throw out any foods (meat, poultry, fish, eggs and leftovers) that have been exposed to temperatures higher than 40° F for two hours or more, and any food that has an undead,” Benfield said. “We’d been planning on getting it cut down, but we never did get around to it,” Benfield said she and her husband love to sit out on the porch on nice days.

Electrical equipment • Turn off and unplug all unnecessary electrical equipment, including sensitive electronics. • Turn off or disconnect any appliances (like stoves), equipment or electronics you were using when the power went out. When power comes back on, surges or spikes can damage equipment. • Leave one light turned on so you’ll know when the power comes back on. • Do not touch any electrical power lines and keep your family away from them. Report downed power lines to the appropriate officials in your area. • When using a portable generator, connect the equipment you want to power directly to the outlets on the generator. Do not connect a portable generator to a home’s electrical system. • If you are considering getting a generator, get advice from a professional, such as an electrician. Make sure that the generator you purchase is rated for the power that you think you will need. Source: aMerican red croSS

FDA proposes more calorie count information WASHINGTON (AP) — It could get harder to indulge in a double cheeseburger and fries without feeling guilty. Menu labeling requirements proposed Friday by the Food and Drug Administration will require chain restaurants with 20 or more locations, along with bakeries, grocery stores, convenience stores and coffee chains, to clearly post the calorie count for each item on their menus. “We’ve got a huge obesity problem in this country and it’s due in part to excess calorie consumption outside the home,” says Mike Taylor, FDA deputy commissioner for foods. “Consumers generally when you ask them say they would prefer to have that information.” The new rules will apply to menus, both in restaurants and drive-through lanes. They will also apply to vending machines if calorie information isn’t already visible on the package. The calorie counts will apply to an estimated 280,000 establishments and could be on menus by 2012. Required as part of health overhaul legislation signed into law last year, they are designed to give restaurant diners information that has long been available on packaged goods cooked at home. The FDA estimates that a third of calories are consumed by eating out. But don’t expect calorie shock when ordering at the movie theater, where a tub of popcorn can contain well north of a thousand calories — movie theaters are exempt, along with airplanes, bowling alleys and other businesses whose primary business is not to sell food, according to the FDA. Movie theaters pushed to be left out after guidelines published last year included them. Alcohol will also be exempted, according to the agency. Margo Wootan, director of nutrition policy at the advocacy group Center for Science in the Public Interest, says that could be misleading to consumers. “I think it’s going to be confusing if customers see the calories for soft drinks and juice labeled on the menu but not other drinks such as beer

and wine,” she said. “It will make it seem like they are better choices.” Still, Wootan says the guidelines are a positive step. “You won’t have to get out of line and go back to some poster by the bathroom and look at some item in a tiny font size,” she says. “It will be right there on the menu where you are getting your other information about what to order.” The idea is to make sure that customers process the calorie information as they are figuring out what to eat. Many restaurants currently post nutritional information in a hallway, on a hamburger wrapper or on their website. The new law will make calories immediately available for most items. Menus and menu boards will also tell diners that a 2,000-calorie diet is used as the basis for general nutrition advice, noting that individual calorie needs may vary. The labeling requirements were added to the health bill with the support of the restaurant industry, which is facing a smattering of laws from cities and states. New York City was the first in the country to put a calorie posting law in place. Since then, California, Seattle and other places have done so. Dawn Sweeney, president and CEO of the National Restaurant Association, said the calorie postings will provide customers with consistent information. “The new standard,” she said, “will help chain restaurants provide the same type of nutrition information to consumers in any part of the country.”

Becoming more mindful TOI One of the DEGREE best ways to be mindful of exactly what you are eating is to become a label read-
er. Reading food labels helps you make the best choices when grocery shopping. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires that almost all packaged foods have a Nutrition Facts label (small packages and manufactures with a small production may be exempt from having a Nutrition Facts label). That’s the good news. The bad news is that the label can be confusing if you don’t know what the items on the label mean. Food labels are important and provide valuable in-

ed on the top part of the label. Be sure to pay attention to the serving size, especially the number of servings there are in the food package. In the sample label, one serving of macaroni and cheese equals one cup. If you ate the whole package, you would eat two cups. That doubles not only the calories but also the other nutrient numbers including the Percent Daily Values shown in the sample label.
Calories provide a measure of how much energy you get from a serving of the food. Many Americans consume more calories than they need without meeting recommended intakes for a number of nutrients. The calorie section of the label can help you manage your weight. Keep in mind the number of servings you consume determines the number of calories you actually eat.

The Serving Size Start with the serving size and the number of servings in the package. Serving sizes are standardized to make it easier to compare similar foods; they are provided in familiar units, such as cups or pieces, followed by the metric amount, the number of grams. The size of the serving on the food package influences the number of calories and the entire nutrient amounts list-

Get enough of these nutrients much fat, saturated or trans, cholesterol or sodium may increase your risk of certain chronic diseases, like heart disease, some cancers, or high blood pressure.
Most Americans don’t get enough dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and iron in their diets. They are identified in blue as Get Enough of these Nutrients. Eating enough of these nu-
trients can improve your health and help reduce the risk of some diseases and conditions. For example, getting enough calcium may reduce the risk of osteoporosis, a condition that results in brittle bones as we age. A diet high in dietary fiber promotes healthy bowel function. Additionally, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and grain products that contain dietary fiber, particularly soluble fiber, low saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease.

• Cat box filler for cheap. I’ve learned that using egg layer crumbles (chicken feed) instead of commercial cat box filler is healthier for my cat and less expensive. I can purchase 50-pound bags for $11-$14 at farm supply stores. That’s about 25 cents a pound, compared with $10 for a 7- to 10-pound bag of natural filler at the grocery or the pet supply store.

Donald Trump driving pace car at Indianapolis 500 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis 500 says it has selected Donald Trump to drive the pace car in this year’s 100th anniversary race. Race organizers said Tuesday that Trump will drive a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Pace Car to lead the field of 33 drivers at the start of the race May 29 at the Indianapolis Motor Speed-
way. Trump says he’s honored to have the job and says the race “has been the gold standard of motorsports for a century.” The Camaro is equipped with a 400horsepower V-8 engine and six-speed automatic transmission. The race starts at noon and is being televised by ABC.
Dear Upset: I agree with your boyfriend. You will figure out your future when you get to it. I agree with you that four years is a long time to date-inplace, but your choice to cheat is a disappointing and important bellwether. (So is your extreme ambivalence.) I assume you were testing the waters in a misguided and clunky attempt to force your future to overtake you. I suggest you take a break from your relationship while you try to figure out who you are and what you really want. Your boyfriend is telling you that he doesn’t really
know where he wants your relationship to head. You two have this in common, and acknowledging this reality and telling the truth about your behavior would be a good place to start your conversation.

WINDOWS & Doors Note the * used after the heading “%Daily Value” on the Nutrition Facts label. It refers to the Footnote in the lower part of the nutrition label, which tells you “%DVs are based on a 2,000 calorie diet”. This statement must be on all food labels, but the remaining information in the full footnote may not be on the package depending on its size. When the full footnote does appear, it will always be the same, because it shows recommended dietary advice for all Americans —it is not about a specific food product.

Q: Do you need to know how to calculate percentages to use the %DV? A: No, the label (the %DV) does the math for you. It helps you interpret the numbers (grams and milligrams) by putting them all on the same scale for the day. The %DV column doesn’t add up vertically to 100%. Instead each nutrient is based on 100% of the daily requirements for that nutrient (for a 2,000 calorie diet). This way you can tell high from low and know which nutrients contribute a lot, or a little, to your daily-recommended allowance (upper or lower).

Dear Had It: I completely agree.

The Percent Daily Values (%DVs) are based on the Daily Value recommendations for key nutrients but only for a 2,000-calorie daily diet — not 2,500 calories. The %DV helps you determine if a serving of food is high or low in a nutrient.

Dear Amy: “Bitter Ex-inlaw” wrote to you because he and his wife wanted to tell their granddaughter what a bad guy her father was. My ex and I separated and divorced when my daughter was 15. He had been unfaithful. His parents decided that because she was 15 they could say how they felt about me. To this day, she holds a grudge against them for the things they said about me. She is now 23. If bitter exin-laws want to have any kind of normal relationship with their granddaughter, they will step away from the problems between their daughter and her ex. It’s really none of their business. Their priority should have been making that little girl feel that she was the only thing important to them. — Had It Happen

STATE EMPLOYEES’ INSURANCE
Time to pay part of the tab orget Obamacare. The most pressing health-care issue in North Carolina at the moment is whether state employees should help pay premiums for their individual health insurance. Republican lawmakers say yes and have passed bills to that effect through the House and Senate. The Democrat in the Governor’s Mansion should sign the bill into law. The time has come. How else can the state close a $515 million shortfall in the State Health Plan? The burden is not onerous — employees will have to pay $10.86 or $21.72 per month, depending on their level of coverage — but it ends a long tradition of providing individual coverage at no charge to state employees, and there will be no going back. In addition, co-payments and deductibles will increase. The N.C. Association of Educators vehemently opposed the bill, saying it in effect gives educators an $1,800 pay cut — to which countless workers in the private sector can say, “Tell me about it.” Government employees’ benefits and jobs are publicly debated and voted on by elected officials, but businesses have been making similar decisions for years. Blame the out-of-control costs of health care and insurance. The average worker in the United States paid nearly $4,000 toward the cost of family insurance coverage in 2010 — up 14 percent from the previous year, according to a survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation and Health Research & Educational Trust, two nonprofits that focus on health policy issues. The voice of reason in the debate over state benefits has come from Dana Cope, executive director of the State Employees Association. While Democrats and the teachers’ group opposed the bill, Cope argued that paying insurance premiums is inevitable. Besides, the legislation also includes some attractive changes, such as shifting oversight of the plan to the State Treasurer’s Office and making the terms of the plan’s contract with Blue Cross-Blue Shield of North Carolina public. The question now is whether municipalities and counties will follow the state’s lead. Government employees make up a huge voting block that politicians alienate at their own peril. Some 6,000 people in Rowan County work for either the schools, city or county government or the Hefner V.A. Medical Center, and many others work in state and town offices. What hurts them could hurt all of us. But government employees are taxpayers too. Maybe they can appreciate the difficult decisions political leaders face. Just don’t expect them to be happy about it.

Moderately confused
our recent article about dropouts missed the real underlying story about high school dropouts from the March 28 Salisbury Rowan Board of Eduation meeting. You took the state’s bait making dropouts reflect only those enrolled the 20th day of one school year compared to the previous year. These numbers place our dropout rate DR. ADA at less than 4 FISHER percent. The real dropout rate is the cohort graduation rate, which looks at the enrollment of ninth graders who entered in the class year being considered and how many were graduating. In Rowan County, that number reflected that 27 percent are unaccounted for or dopped out. In urban areas, those numbers are as high as 40 percent in Detroit, parts of Chicago or New York City or LA. The programs being proposed for Rowan County are rehashes of ideas tried before at Henderson Independent High School and prematurely disbanded. As for the proposed restructurings, these are bound to be expensive since there will be redundancy with many schools having night programs. Why not consolidate these offerings in the centrally located Independent High School where they belong and are accessible from all over the county? One of the most stunning statistics presented was for West Rowan, noting more than 70 students had repeated a grade more than three times. This is discouraging and fosters a mindset adopted by many that says “I am out of here.” The issue of dropouts reflects attitude, aptitude and academics. We have to look at this differently and deal with aggressive, often disruptive, attitudes that many of our dropouts demonstrate, whether through lack of anger control, expression of personality disorders or the need for earlier testing to identify those with mental disorders who need interventions. Anger management classes are a must for many of our dropouts. Many of our children are drifting and need MMPIs (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) and other testing to reflect some understanding of their interests so they can be matched to their skill levels. Vocational rehabilitation does a great job with this for its clients. Some kids just don’t have the capacity to complete the tracks established for graduation, and we don’t want to talk about it. A general education degree from high school that doesn’t require advanced mathematics should be available to those who can read, write, achieve daily living skills and find themselves employable in basic entry level jobs involving such things as manual labor. Such a degree would help many be employable. Many industries will train people to do other things as they see fit. Since most dropouts occur in the ninth grade, we might consider a ninth grade certificate as well as reinstituting some vocational training in the ninth grade, where it used to be, rather than making it the sole province of community colleges where many of our most needy either won’t attend or won’t make it. • • • Dr. Ada M.

LETTERS Defending our constitutional rights Regarding the burning of the Quran in Florida: I served in the military for more than 10 years. I was there to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. For the president and the commanding general to condemn the actions of one man who was exercising his constitutional rights and blaming him for all the civil unrest is mind numbing. Aren’t we there anyway because of religous oppression? Reagan got it right — buck up and don’t bow down. — Gary Langley Salisbury
Beyond the call My wife and I moved to Salisbury about a year ago and really love living here in the historic district. Having a house with a covered front porch provides an opportunity to meet your neighbors and say hello to passersby. The most pleasant surprise of living here has been the professionalism of the Salisbury police. We previously lived in another city for more than 15 years and had a very bad impression of the local police who were full of themselves and not professional. Based on our experiences there, we lost all confidence and trust of police. However, when our in-laws’ home in Salisbury was burglarized and ransacked this past month, the police were incredibly responsive, always professional and tried to be very sensitive and caring. I am still in awe of how they tried to help and how they are

continuing to work with my inlaws in dealing with their loss. Recently I was awakened at 4:30 a.m. by a police officer because someone had parked his car in our driveway, blocking our cars in. Apparently this person was caught stealing tires from a car across the street to replace the blown out tires on his car. The officer apologized for waking me, but wanted to advise me of the situation and let me know that they would immediately tow the car if I wanted them to do it. As with my in-laws, the officers were again very professional and caring. We certainly have been blessed to be living here with such wonderful police officers. I would encourage all readers to let these officers know how much we appreciate their service to us all. — Fred Krusemark Salisbury
A fitting tribute Regarding Rep. Fred Steen’s proponency that the I85 bridge currently under construction over the Yadkin River be named The Yadkin River Veterans Memorial Bridge: Thank you for your outstanding legislative effort to honor our North Carolina Veterans, which I feel has been a long time overdue. In recent years, so many of our bridges, roads, and buildings have been named after in-
dividual politicians; and this is particularly true in our Rowan County area, where even the Veterans Administration Hospital Center is so named. If such individual honors are justified to civilian politicians, then at least an equal amount of individual honor recognition should go to our very few mililitary veteran heroes holding the nation’s highest awards for extraordinary heroism and valor. The public in general is so often unaware of the high ranking military honor significance of the Congressional Medal of Honor, the Distinguished Service Cross, the Navy Cross and the Air Force Cross. These awards for intrepidity and extraordinary heroism are not like numerous lesser decorations and campaign medals more frequently presented by the military services, but are very rare top valor awards presented by the president of the United States. Unfortunately, I doubt that our state and counties even have a record of who and where the recipients of these high national valor awards are. Again, thank you for your awareness for the need for more veterans’ remembrance recognition. — John Edward Gray Mt. Ulla

The right way to spread the wealth D
uring the 2008 presidential campaign when candidate Barack Obama told “Joe the Plumber” that he wanted to “spread the wealth around,” it sounded to a lot of conservatives like socialism: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need,” in the words of Karl Marx. There is a kind of wealth CAL spreading, however, that ought THOMAS to meet the political litmus test of conservative Republicans, liberal Democrats and radical Independents. At a time of high unemployment, too many layoffs and too few new jobs in the private sector (230,000 jobs were created last month, according to the Labor Department, but unemployment continues to officially hover at just under 9 percent and Gallup calculates it, without seasonal adjustment, at 10.0 percent), it is disheartening to see so many CEOs having recovered enough from their personal recession to pay themselves salaries and benefits that would have shamed the super-rich in America’s Gilded Age. USA Today reported last week in a story on CEO compensation that “three-quarters of CEOs got raises — and, in many cases, the increases were substantial.” Employee pay, on the other hand, effectively stalled. Median CEO pay, reported the newspaper, increased 27 percent last year, meaning the average CEO re-
ceived $9 million in 2010. Even in a struggling economy, I wager most people could get by on $9 million a year. In a strange twist, General Electric, whose chairman Jeffrey Immelt now advises President Obama on job creation, paid no taxes last year, despite earning $14 billion. But that’s another column. Unlike my liberal friends, I don’t obsess about how much money other people make. Whatever compensation someone can negotiate is fine with me. Whether a person is “worth” their pay is a subjective matter and open to debate. The moral issue in executive pay is whether management deserves these high salaries while employees are laid off, or denied pay increases. Last April the Baltimore Sun reported that Stanley-Black and Decker in Towson, Md., announced plans to lay off 4,000 of its 38,000 employees. Yet, according to USA Today, StanleyBlack & Decker CEO John Lundgren made more than $32 million in 2010, up 253.1 percent from the previous year. U.S. Bancorp Chairman Richard Davis was paid $16.1 million in 2010, a 143.0 percent compensation boost. In January, U.S. Bancorp announced that 64 workers in its Milwaukee office would be cut. If I were a CEO being paid such astronomical amounts and people were being laid off, or struggling in a recession, at least in part due to the lack of pay increases, I would feel morally obligated to take less money. I would ask the chief financial officer of my company to share some of my wealth with loyal employees so that they could continue caring for
their families. One doesn’t have to be a liberal who believes in income redistribution to see the unfairness in disproportionate pay. Think of the kudos and favorable press coverage that would come to a corporate chief who shared his wealth, rather than lay off employees. It could change not only the media coverage of big business, but also the way the public perceives the super rich. Heck, some of them might even start voting Republican! Five CEOs saw a slight decline in compensation, according to the USA Today/GovernanceMetrics international data, but they still earned more than most lottery winners receive. President Obama has spoken of some of these CEOs as not “needing” the money they get. Again, that is a subjective judgment. What he should be doing is shaming those companies that lay off workers while paying their top management such exorbitant salaries and benefits. Stockholders ought to demand that no competent worker should be laid off if a CEO earns above a certain amount. Stockholders also have a moral responsibility beyond the dividends they receive. Making money is a noble American objective, making a living is a nobler one. Corporations ought to have enough decency and compassion to make sure no worker is let go solely to increase the bottom line or pad the boss’ pockets with more money than he (or she) can ever hope to spend in a lifetime. • • • Contact Cal Thomas at tmseditors@tribune.com.

Obama says it’s time to make a deal on budget, avert shutdown
Islamists foresee gains in Egypt CAIRO (AP) — Islamic hard-liners, some of them heavily suppressed under three decades of Hosni Mubarak’s regime, are enthusiastically diving into Egypt’s new freedoms, forming political parties to enter upcoming elections and raising alarm that they will try to lead the country into fundamentalist rule. Some militants, taking advantage of a security vacuum, aren’t waiting for the political process. They have attacked Christians and liquor stores, trying to impose their austere version of Islamic law in provincial towns. The Islamists’ newfound energy prompted the ruling military to warn on Monday that Egypt “will not be turned into Gaza or Iran.”

Libyan rebel leader criticizes NATO ap photo
BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) —
the Muslim Brotherhood is better organized than other groups A rebel military leader lashed out at NATO Tuesday, saying and sees a chance to gain power in elections. Islamists could fare well in parliamentary elections scheduled for September, especially if the various groups run on a unified ticket. Their chances are boosted by the disarray among other groups. Traditional opposition parties were deeply restricted under Mubarak’s 29-year rule and have no popular base to speak of. The liberal youth groups behind the 18-day uprising that forced Mubarak to step down on Feb. 11 are still scrambling to organize before voting day. The Islamists, furthermore, are well funded and organized. The most established fundamentalist group, the Muslim Brotherhood, has years of experience in contesting elections.
Ivory Coast strongman says he’s staying ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (AP) — Ivory Coast’s strongman leader Laurent Gbagbo holed up in a bunker inside the presidential residence Tuesday, defiantly maintaining he won the election four months ago even as troops backing the internationally recognized winner encircled the home. Gbagbo’s comments by telephone to France’s LCI television came as French officials and a diplomat said he was negotiating his departure terms after French and U.N. forces launched a military offensive Monday. Democratically elected leader Alassane Ouattara has urged his supporters to take Gbagbo alive.

ians. The alliance said ruler Moammar Gadhafi’s forces position heavy weapons in populated areas, preventing some airstrikes. Abdel-Fattah Younis, chief of staff for the rebel military and Gadhafi’s former interior minister, said he was asking the opposition’s leadership council to take their grievances to the U.N. Security Council, which authorized force in Libya to stop government troops from wiping out the anti-Gadhafi uprising that began Feb. 15. NATO forces “don’t do anything” even though the United Nations gave them the
right to act, Younis said. He said bureaucracy means that NATO strikes sometimes come eight hours after rebels’ have communicated targets. “The people will die and this crime will be on the face of the international community forever. What is NATO doing?” Younis said. NATO last week took control over the international airstrikes that began March 19 as a U.S.-led mission. The airstrikes thwarted Gadhafi’s efforts to crush the rebellion in the North African nation he has ruled for more than four decades, but the rebels remain outnumbered and outgunned.

737-300s showing early stress problems PHOENIX (AP) — Boeing was surprised when a section of a Southwest jetliner’s fuselage ripped open in flight because the plane wasn’t old enough to be worrisome, a company official said Tuesday, as the airline cleared most of its older 737 planes to return to the skies. Southwest said it had inspected nearly all of the jets it grounded after the accident on Friday. Five were found with the same kinds of cracks suspected of causing the 5foot-long hole to open as the jet cruised around 34,000 feet. The planes are being repaired, the airline said. Boeing engineers did not expect to see the cracks because they thought they had designed the joints that hold the 737-300s’ aluminum skin in place to be more robust. They believe the planes would not need inspections for

WASHINGTON (AP) — Prodded by an insistent President Barack Obama, Congress’ top two lawmakers sought to reinvigorate compromise talks Tuesday aimed at cutting tens of billions in federal spending and averting a partial government shutdown Friday at midnight. There was at least a hint of flexibility, accompanied by sharply partisan attacks and an outburst of shutdown brinksmanship. According to Democrats, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, suggested at a White House meeting that fellow Republicans might be able to accept a deal with $40 billion in cuts. That’s more than negotiators had been eyeing but less than the House seeks. The speaker’s office declined comment, and Boehner issued a statement saying, “We can still avoid a shutdown, but Democrats are going to need to get serious about cutting spending — and soon.” For his part, Senate Majority leader Harry Reid sounded an accusatory note. “I hope the Republicans do what the country needs, not what they believe the tea party wants,” he said at the Capitol.

Pack hires Gottfried BY AARON BEARD Associated Press
AssociAted press
North carolina state's Mark Gottfried speaks after his introduction.
RALEIGH — Mark Gottfried said all the things North Carolina State fans wanted to hear: He plans to contend for a national championship, be a fixture in the NCAA tournament and go toe-totoe with the Wolfpack’s highly ranked rivals. Now he’s got to deliver. “Every job in America has different challenges, obstacles, those things that make the job difficult,” North Carolina’s new men’s basketball coach said Tuesday. “I’m not backing down from anybody here, period. We want to win.” Gottfried, 47, looked right at
home, sporting a red N.C. State tie and lapel pin on his gray suit during his introduction. But he knows there’s a lot of work to do at a program that struggled in five seasons under Sidney Lowe. High on that list is avoiding repeatedly disappointing finishes in the Atlantic Coast Conference and beating Duke and North Carolina a little more often. Athletic director Debbie Yow said Gottfried will receive a fiveyear contract with a guarantee of $1.2 million annually, a deal that includes an automatic two-year extension if he leads N.C. State back to the NCAA tournament in either of the next two seasons. Gottfried has a career coach-
ing record of 278-155 in 14 seasons at Murray State and Alabama. He took seven teams to the NCAA tournament, including a run of five straight at Alabama from 2002-06 that also featured an appearance in the Phoenix Regional final in 2004. He also led the Crimson Tide to its first-ever No. 1 ranking during the 2002-03 season. “That ain’t enough for me,” Gottfried said, turning to face the current Wolfpack players attending the news conference. “I’m here today because I want to play for a championship. That’s got to be your goal. You come to work

Baseball’s familiar names Staff report
Keep an eye out for familiar names from the area now that baseball season is in full swing: • Outfielder Jerry Sands (Catawba) is opening the season with the Albuquerque Isotopes, the Los Angeles SANDS Dodgers’ Triple A farm club. The Isotopes open on Thursday against Omaha. Lefty pitcher Spencer Steedley (East Rowan) is opening the season in the bullpen of the New STEEDLEY Britain Rock Cats, Minnesota’s Double A team. Steedley, who turns 26 at the end of May, hopes to stay healthy this season. He lost most of 2010 to elbow surgery. Second baseman Kyle Seager (NW Cabarrus, UNC) was assigned to Seattle’s Double A farm club, the Jackson (Miss.) Generals of the Southern League. Seager’s former UNC teammate Dustin Ackley is one level above him in the Seattle chain and also playing second base, so a trade of Seager is a real possibility. Second baseman Daniel Wagner (South Rowan) is opening the season with the WinstonSalem Dash, the adWAGNER vanced A team for the Chicago White Sox. Winston-Salem opens Friday at Kinston. Wade Moore (West Rowan, Catawba) is with the Hagerstown Suns, a fullseason Class A team in MOORE the South Atlantic League. He’ll be in the same outfield as Bryce Harper, the No. 1 pick in last summer’s draft. The Suns play in Rome, Ga., on Thursday. Hagerstown visits Kannapolis May 29-31. If Harper is still in Hagerstown at that point, it could mean three sellouts for the Intimidators. There

Jason rollins thinks a talented sophomore class will be even better as juniors for his south rowan raiders in the fall.
In Rowan, coaches work together Keeping up with spring football ... outh Rowan football coach Jason Rollins was happy with his nine-win season in 2009 when a special group of seniors led the Raiders. He was not happy about his two-win season last year, when he relied heavily on a group of sophomores. Now, he wants the Raiders to start climbing that ladder back toward the top. And he started by getting some help from the other side of the county. Big, strong Nathan Lambert is penciled in under center and he’s currently working with North Rowan quarterback guru Bobby Myers. “Bobby’s such a good guy,” RONNIE Rollins said.”Quarterbacks who GALLAGHER came from there were good. I told him how much I appreciated it. If we don’t work together on some of these things, we’re shooting ourselves in the foot.” Rollins’ sophomore class has talent and after a varsity year under its belt, things can only get better in Landis. Lambert, running back Ricky Sherrill, linebacker Bubba McLaughlin and defensive end Josh Medlin will be key juniors in the fall. Medlin is currently nursing a broken bone in

Who’s going to take a leadership role and turn this thing back around to a 9-2 season or better?’ We went 9-2 to 2-9 and I told them we’d just flip it back around again.” • Of course, West Rowan will be on the schedule. The three-time defending state champ enters 2011 with a national-best 46 straight victories. One thing about coach Scott Young — he never stops working to get his kids in college.

Aggies win women’s championship game BY DOUG FEINBERG Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Danielle Adams scored 22 of Texas A&M 76 her 30 points in a N. Dame 70 dominating second half and Texas A&M beat Notre Dame 76-70 on Tues-
day night to win its first national championship. Texas A&M (33-5) built an early 13-point lead with its aggressive defense, fell behind by seven in the second half, then rallied by pounding the ball inside to the 6-foot-1 Adams, who bulled her way to 9-for-11 shooting in the final 20 minutes.
Tyra White added 18 points for the Aggies, including a huge 3-pointer as the shot clock buzzer sounded to put A&M up 73-68 with 1:07 left. That was enough to bring the title to a school that didn’t even admit women until 1963 and deny a second championship to Notre Dame (31-8), which won 10 years ago in St. Louis.
Skylar Diggins led the Irish in this improbable title game matchup of No. 2 seeds with 23 points. Devereaux Peters had 21 points and 11 rebounds for Notre Dame, which was burned by A&M’s 68 percent (15-for-22) second-half shooting.

Kannapolis legend dies BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
Salisbury resident Leroy Scercy, one of the great athletic legends in Kannapolis history passed away at 74 on Tuesday at Forsyth Medical Center. (See Obituary on Page 4A.) Playing for the A.L. Brown Wonders, Scercy made All-State teams in football, basketball and baseball during the 1955-56 school year, and he also could score points in a track meet in anything from the 100 to the shot put. Basketball is what he loved most. Baseball is the sport where he earned pro paychecks. The people who chased him to the end zone or tried to tackle him say he was best of all in football, a devastating 200-pound fullback and safety with sprinter’s speed. He suited up for North Carolina in the 1955 Shrine Bowl, and Brown was 23-5 during his time in green. Most of those five losses were to tremendous Albemarle teams. His senior year, Scercy scored four touchdowns in a 25-24 loss to coach Toby Webb’s Bulldogs. Maybe the best testament to Scercy’s athletic ability is that he was a starting outfielder on Kannapolis’ 1952 state-championship American Legion baseball team when he was still 15 years old. He tried out for that team barefooted. His sister bought him proper baseball footwear after he made the team. Offers to play college football were numerous, but Scercy had no love for schoolwork. When the Kansas City Athletics offered the lefty swinger a contract to play pro baseball, he signed it. At age 19 in Class D ball in faraway Nebraska, he batted .351 with power. His last hurrah came with the Salisbury Braves at Newman Park in 1960, and he steered the local team on a pennant drive by launching 16 homers in just 66 games. Scercy gave himself a four-year deadline to make the major leagues, and he fell short of that goal. At age 24, he hung up his spikes and went to work at Cannon Mills. Even in the 1970s, his glory days long past, he’d occasionally be challenged to a footrace by one of the local teenagers who had heard stories of how fast the “old guy” used to be. Wearing overalls and workboots, Scercy always left the youngsters in the dust.
Indians rout Wingate From staff and wire reports
While it won’t count in the SAC standings, Catawba’s baseball team pounded out a satisfying 20-7 win at Wingate on Tuesday. Catawba (29-8) scored 12 times in the second inning and enjoyed its biggest offensive explosion of the season. In the huge inning, Josh Hohn had a tworun single, Chris Dula had an RBI single, and Ryan Bostian (South Rowan) and Hohn banged out RBI doubles. Joe Kase started on the mound for the Indians and cruised to a win after allowing a tworun homer by Dodson McPherson in the first inning. Catawba amassed 19 hits. Blake Houston (South) went 3-for-4, drove in three runs and scored three. Dula went 3for-4, and John Neese went 3-for-5 and scored three times. Catawba is up to No. 9 in the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association poll. Pfeiffer fell to Tusculum 7-2 on Tuesday. Many more sports briefs are on Page 4B.
College golf Livingstone’s men’s golf team finished fourth in the Winston-Salem State Golf Challenge. LC’s Lawrence McKenzie shot 74-84 — 158 and tied for sixth individually. Catawba’s women’s golf team rallied to tie for fifth in the McAmis Memorial held in Greeneville, Tenn. Catawba shot 316-327 — 643. Leslie Long led the Indians individually. She shot 80-79 – 159 and finished 14th.
Youth basketball The Salisbury Kings 8th-grade basketball team competed in the West Region state qualifying tournament held in Forest City. The Kings went 2-2, defeating the Mt. Luxor Rockets from Concord twice. Preston Dalton averaged 17.5 points and 11.3 rebounds in the tournament to lead the Kings. Naquis Caldwell and Travis Littlejohn also provided lots of offense. Dominique Upchurch, Eric Finger and Joshua Endicott were defensive stalwarts. Endicott went 3-for-3 on 3-pointers. The Kings will enter the state championships in May seeded fifth.
Homeschool hoops RALEIGH — Fifteen-year-old Rebecca Lobach of Durham is an efficient shooting guard who won statewide honors among her peers this winter. She’s been home-schooled her entire life, which means her parents have ferried her hundreds of miles a year to round out her education with the competition that comes with sports. Her parents have sent Rebecca to summer basketball camps at Duke and gotten her to practice for church league teams, but more recently Rebecca’s competition in a statewide athletic conference created for home-schooled children has meant driving to games as far away as Greensboro and Fayetteville. A proposal now in the General Assembly would give Rebecca’s parents a break by requiring that her local public school allow her to play as if she were enrolled there.

Heisey hot for 4-0 Reds Associated Press
The baseball roundup ... CINCINNATI — Chris Heisey drove in three runs and the Cincinnati Reds took a patient approach at the plate in improving to 4-0 for the first time since their 1990 World Series championship season, beating the Houston Astros 8-2 on Tuesday night. Heisey walked with the bases loaded, was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, and singled home a run off J.A. Happ (0-1), who helped the league’s top offense immensely. Mike Leake (1-0) allowed three hits and a pair of runs in six innings. Brewers 1, Braves 0 WILWAUKEE — Yovani Gallardo threw a two-hitter and Milwaukee snapped a four-game losing streak to begin the season. Gallardo (1-0) walked two and struck out two for the third shutout of his career. Two of the base runners were erased by double plays and no Braves runner reached second. It was the best start by a Brewers starter since CC
Sabathia threw a one-hitter in Pittsburgh on Aug. 31, 2008. Juan Nieves has the only nohitter in franchise history in 1987. Mets 7, Phillies 1 PHILADELPHIA— Chris Young pitched effectively into the sixth inning and became the first Mets pitcher with two hits in an inning, fueling a sixrun rally and helping New York beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-1 Tuesday night. David Wright tied a career best with four hits and Young (1-0) had a career game at the plate with three hits for the Mets, who are off to a 3-1 start — all on the road. Padres 3, Giants 1 SAN DIEGO — Aaron Harang pitched six strong innings in his debut with his hometown Padres, who won their home opener against skidding San Francisco. The defending World Series champion Giants, who eliminated the Padres from playoff contention on the last day of the 2010 season, have lost four of five. Rockies 3, Dodgers 0 DENVER — Jhoulys Chacin scattered five hits
over seven sharp innings and Troy Tulowitzki broke out of a hitting funk with a solo homer for Colorado. Cardinals 3, Pirates 2 ST. LOUIS — Albert Pujols had the tying and go-ahead RBIs and Kyle McClellan rebounded from a shaky beginning to win his first career start for St. Louis. Marlins 3, Nationals 2 (10) MIAMI — Florida overcame a night of poor clutch hitting when Donnie Murphy delivered a bases-loaded, twoout single in the 10th inning. Cubs 6, Diamondbacks 5 CHICAGO — Marlon Byrd had three hits, doubling in a key run in the seventh inning, and Chicago held on for a victory. American League CLEVELAND — Josh Tomlin outpitched Boston’s Josh Beckett, Cleveland came up with just enough timely hits and the Indians kept the Red Sox winless so far this season with a 3-1 victory Tuesday night over the team many predicted would win it all.

The NBA roundup ... BOSTON — Rajon Rondo scored 16 points with 13 assists and the Boston Celtics moved into a tie for the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference by beating the Philadelphia 76ers 99-82 on Tuesday night. With the win, the Celtics and Heat were tied at 54-23 with four games left. The Celtics would win the tiebreaker because they beat Miami in their first three meetings this season; the teams play again in Miami on Sunday. Paul Pierce scored 18 points, Kevin Garnett had 14 and Ray Allen had 13 for Boston, which is 8-8 in the past month. Cavaliers 99, Bobcats 89 CLEVELAND — Ramon Sessions scored 18 points to pace seven players in double figures, leading Cleveland over injury-depleted Charlotte. Charlotte, which is in ninth place in the Eastern Conference, trails Indiana by 21/2 games for the final playoff spot. The Bobcats, losers of three straight, have five games remaining while the Pacers have four games left. Spurs 97, Hawks 90 ATLANTA — Tony Parker scored 26 points and San Antonio moved closer to
home-court advantage in the playoffs by ending a fourgame road losing streak. Manu Ginobili had 18 points and Tim Duncan had 17 for the Spurs, who had been 06 on the road against Eastern Conference teams which have clinched playoff berths. Knicks 131, Raptors 118 NEW YORK — Toney Douglas scored 28 points, Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire each added 23, and New York closed within a half-game of sixth place in the Eastern Conference by routing Toronto for its fourth straight victory. Chauncey Billups had 13 points and nine assists for the Knicks, who can move ahead of the 76ers for the No. 6 seed when they travel to Philadelphia on Wednesday. It’s a rare big game in the springtime for the Knicks, usually long out of contention by now but headed back to the postseason for the first time since 2004. Nets 107, Timberwolves 105 NEWARK, N.J. — Deron Williams capped a career-tying 21-assist performance by hitting a game-winning jumper with 1.7 seconds to play to lead New Jersey over Minnesota. The game wasn’t decided until Michael Beasley had a 3pointer bounce off the rim at the buzzer. Brook Lopez had a gamehigh 30 points and 12 re-
WOMEN FROM 1B The game was a back-and-forth battle from the outset. Peters scored 10 points and Notre Dame ended the half on a 23-8 run to take a 35-33 lead. Rattled early by the in-your-face defense that is A&M’s trademark, the Irish fell behind by 13 points midway through the first half, then clawed back once they started taking care of the ball. Peters was the most effective, making her first four shots, including a nifty over-the-shoulder flip as she was going past the basket on the right side. Another Peters bucket cut the lead to 29-24 and the Irish trailed just 33-31 when Diggins hit a short jumper from the right side as the shot clock buzzer sounded.

Diggins had 8 points at halftime. “Glad we came back,” A&M coach Gary Blair said. “We had a bad 10 minutes in the first half. We found a way to come back, and Danielle got the ball inside.” A&M’s defensive pressure threw the Irish off kilter at the start. Notre Dame turned the ball over on its first two possessions and after 3 1/2 minutes, the Irish had five turnovers, had managed only one shot and the Aggies led 10-4. Adding to Notre Dame’s frustration, 5-foot-11 Natalie Novosel appeared to have an open layup, only to see 5-6 Sydney Carter block the shot, drawing a roar from the Aggies’ faithful spread throughout Conseco Fieldhouse.

Jordan Staal and Chris Kunitz also scored for the Penguins, who won their regular season home finale to move three points ahead of fifth-place Tampa Bay in the Eastern Conference standings with two games to play. The Lightning lost 4-2 at Buffalo. Pittsburgh remained three points behind conference-leading Washington, which won 3-2 in a shootout at Toronto. David Steckel and Brian Rolston scored for the Devils, who were officially eliminated from playoff contention with their defeat to Montreal on Saturday.

Notre Dame eliminated Tennessee in the regional final, then swept past Connecticut in Sunday night’s national semifinals, the first time one team has taken down those two women’s basketball icons in the same tournament. A&M also had two impressive wins to get here, beating Baylor in the regional final before edging Stanford on Sunday night. It was the first title game without a No. 1 seed since 1994 and only the second overall. It also was the first final without either Connecticut or Tennessee since Maryland beat Duke in overtime for the 2006 championship.

BASEBALL FROM 1B will be quite a few West and Catawba fans there to see Moore as well. Infielder Chris Ahearn (Catawba) has been assigned to the Rome Braves in the South Atlantic League. In the bad news department, the Oakland A’s have released outfielder David Thomas (Catawba), a 14th-round pick in 2008. Thomas, 24, batted .259 with 126 runs scored, 103 RBIs, 11 homers, nine triples and 46 doubles in his pro career, despite injuries. One of the all-time greats in the SAC, he could get a shot with another organization. No announcements yet on several local players, including Royals pitcher Rudy Brown (South), Rays outfielder Craige Lyerly (East, Catawba) and Braves catcher Ryan Query (A.L. Brown, Catawba). They could remain in extended spring training until short-season leagues begin after the June draft.
ing his invitation to play in the East-West All-Star game in July. Warren, one of the top runners in North Carolina over the past two seasons, was mentioned by Joe Pinyan as soon as the Salisbury coach was named head man of the West. • Pinyan, coming off his first state title, was asked what Salisbury was doing football-wise this spring. “Absolutely nothing,” he said. “We do as little as possible because we expect our students who play football to be on the track team or play baseball or do something.
every day, you come to practice, you better come with that in mind because that’s what we want to do.” The hiring comes exactly three weeks after Lowe resigned from the program he led to a national championship as a player in 1983. He had an 86-78 overall record, but went just 2555 in ACC play. He never finished higher than ninth in the league and managed a 3-16 record against Duke and North Carolina. Gottfried was in his 11th season as head coach at Alabama when he resigned in January 2009 amid criticism of the team’s performance and the departure of star guard Ronald Steele. He had worked as a college basketball analyst for ESPN since leaving Alabama. His new players didn’t know much about him yet. “I mean, as much as people want to say you commit to a school, you really commit to the coaches,” sophomore Scott Wood said. “It’s definitely difficult, but at the same time Debbie Yow says that’s what’s best for the organization and we’re going to move forward.” Gottfried’s hiring comes a day after the school learned that VCU coach Shaka Smart — who had led the Rams to a surprising Final Four run — would remain there after receiving a new eight-year contract. Later Monday, Wichita State’s Gregg Marshall — another name linked to the opening — announced on his radio show that he would remain with the Shockers. The search earlier missed on apparent top target of Arizona’s Sean Miller, the former Xavier head coach who also worked as an assistant to Sendek with the Wolfpack for five seasons. His father, John, said his son had declined to be interviewed. Yow would not reveal who she had interviewed, but said Maryland coach Gary Williams attempted to negatively intervene in the process. Yow, the former Maryland athletic director, responded to a reporter’s question to Gottfried about whether she had a reputation as being difficult to work with. “I don’t have a reputation across all men’s basketball of being difficult to work with,” she said. “I have a reputation of not getting along with Gary Williams, who has tried to sabotage the search. Come on, we all know that. OK, so whatever. It’s not a reputation. It’s Gary Williams out there doing his thing. Whatever.” Doug Dull, a team spokesman at Maryland, did not immediately return a call. But Williams did release a statement to the Baltimore Sun saying he hasn’t talked to anyone, coach or athletic director, connected to the N.C. State search. “I don’t have any interest in the N.C. State search, since I’m coaching at Maryland and working hard to run our program,” Williams said. As for the hiring of Gottfried, Yow said it came together in a matter of days. She said initially she didn’t believe he would want to leave his TV job to return to the sidelines. Yow said had interviewed three other candidates in person and spoke with others by phone. “He develops talent, he values graduation ... and he motivates them to achieve,” she said. “He has a fiery attitude and a cando spirit. And that’s exactly what State needs at this time in our program.”
When those sports are over, we’ll do some other things.” • And finally ... Carson quarterback Zack Gragg has decided to play at Division III Methodist. According to coach Mark Woody, “he’s looking great.” Gragg, who led the Cougars to a 10-win season in 2010, will room with Salisbury tight end Riley Gallagher. A story is upcoming. • Contact Ronnie Gallagher at 704-797-4287 or rgallagher@salisburypost.com.

Rare condition may result from migraine meds Dear Dr. Gott: I was diagnosed with retroperitoneal fibrosis (Ormond’s disease) following a CT scan. My family doctor has never had a patient with this condition in all of his 35 years. Can and will you comment, please? Dear ReadI can beDR. PETER er: lieve your GOTT doctor hasn’t seen a patient with the condition. Neither have I, but then I’ve only been practicing for 40 years! This rare disorder may be due to an unknown cause or secondary to a number of causes, including radiation therapy, cancer, infections and drugs, or this may have
been triggered by the longterm use of medications such as methysergide, beta-blockers, bromocriptine, methyldopa and some analgesias. The disease occurs when extra fibrous tissue blocks the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder, preventing the urine from flowing normally. There are many ways this disease can present, such as with swelling and discoloration of one leg and pain in the abdomen that can increase in intensity over time. As the disease progresses and without treatment, urine output may decrease or cease altogether, and there may be nausea, vomiting and internal hemorrhage. Treatment for Ormond’s is typically begun with corticosteroids or tamoxifen, a drug used to treat breast cancer or
to reduce the risk of breast cancer in high-risk patients. Should these treatments be ineffective, surgery and drain tubes may be required. The prognosis is dependent on the extent of the disease, the amount of damage to the kidneys (which may be minor and temporary) and the cause (if it is secondary). Involve the care of your primary-care physician, a urologist and perhaps a nephrologist with knowledge of this unusual disorder. Readers who would like related information should send for my Health Report “Kidney Disorders” by sending a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order made payable to Newsletter and mailed to Newsletter, P.O.

Double then no-trump shows a big hand BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
You have a big balanced hand, but suddenly the opponent on your right opens the bidding with one of a suit. How do you show the strength of your hand? An overcall of one notrump shows a good 15 to a poor 18 points — about half a point more than a one-notrump opening bid. (That means that you would not overcall with a poor 15, but will make the bid with a “weak” 18. Remember that this overcall is dangerous because your left-hand oppo-
nent, the responder, is in a good position to double for penalty if he has a decent hand.) If you make a takeout double and rebid a minimum number of no-trump, it shows 18-20 points. And a double followed by a jump in no-trump is 21-22 (if you can bid two no-trump, but might be stronger if you have to bid three no-trump). In this deal, South doubles, then rebids one notrump with 19 points. North, with a six-count and a fivecard suit, should have no reservation in bidding three no-trump. Remember, it
pays to be aggressive in these situations because declarer will know where the missing high cards are concentrated — in the opener’s hand. After West leads the club queen, the play should be straightforward. South needs to take four diamond tricks. But if East started with at least three diamonds and knows to hold up his ace until the third round of the suit, declarer will need a dummy entry. So, he must take the first trick in his hand with the club ace. Then he drives out the diamond ace and cruises home.
print an order form off my website’s direct link at www.AskDrGottMd.com/order—form.pdf. Dear Dr. Gott: My feet are rough, and the skin sometimes hurts, catching on my carpet. Can you please tell me what to use? I’ve tried so many different products without success. Dear Reader: When you refer to your feet, I interpret that to mean your heels, which can form thick skin, split, and be difficult to manage. Initially, and as long as there are no open ulcers, I might begin with a pumice stone, which can be purchased at your local pharmacy. Some even have a handle and resemble a hairbrush. Soak your feet in warm water to which iodized table salt or Epsom salt has been added.
Rub the pumice over the affected areas to remove excess burrs and dry skin. Have a pair of white cotton socks readily available. Pat your feet dry, and apply a petroleumbased ointment such as Bag Balm or Vicks over the appropriate areas of your feet. Slip your feet into the socks, and leave the socks on overnight until the ointment can be absorbed. By morning, your feet should be softer and relatively free of pain. You might need to follow the process several times a week until things are back under control and might wish to consider a weekly regimen to ensure you have conquered the problem. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

J.K. Rowling to consider Harry Potter e-books LONDON (AP) — J.K. Rowling stirred a publishing phenomenon with her “Harry Potter” books. Can she do it again on the e-book market? The best-selling author is considering making the fantasy books available electronically, her London-based agent said Monday — meaning that Potter fans may soon be able to download the popular series about a boy wizard to their Kindle or iPad. “We are currently actively looking at all the various options for Harry Potter in this space, that is e-books,” Neil aBlair, of the Christopher Little Literary Agency, said in an e-mail. Rowling has sold about 450 million copies of the Harry Potter books worldwide, according to Blair. She has allowed digital audio downloads, but is one of the most famous authors who have stayed away from the ebook market. Some say the Potter books — which are up to 800 pages thick — are heavy and unwieldy, and publishing them in the electronic format will make them easier to carry.

n't have argued the penalty. Johnson said he learned of his pit road speeds on Monday. "If pit road segment times were broadcast live for everyone to review, it would eliminate the finger pointing," Johnson said in a conference call with reporters. "It's probably not good for me to climb out of the car and call NASCAR's credibility into judgment, and I apologize for that. When you're only dealing with part of the information and heat of the moment, it's easy to react."

STORRS, Conn. — Jim Calhoun and the Connecticut basketball team left 80-degree weather and returned to a cold rain, and it never felt so good. “But you know what,” the UConn coach said. “We’re home.” The Huskies’ charter flight arrived from Houston on Tuesday afternoon. On hand to greet the NCAA champions were Connecticut’s governor. Calhoun and star guard Kemba Walker addressed the crowd of several dozen fans that huddled under umbrellas along a fence near the runway at Bradley Airport in Windsor Locks. “You folks, since the moment I came here in 1986, have made this all special,” the 68year-old Hall of Fame coach said. “And I told you someday if you stay with us, we’re going to make you feel so proud of us.” The team, picked to finish 10th in the Big East in the preseason, beat Butler 53-41 Monday night to complete a remarkable 11-0 run through the postseason that also included a Big East tournament championship. This was the third NCAA championship for the Huskies, the other men’s titles coming in 1999 and 2004. “You are an inspiration to your fellow citizens here in Connecticut. You are a great pride to your university,” Gov. Dannel P. Malloy told them. “This team, just amazing.”

NFL MINNEAPOLIS — The NFL lockout is headed for the courtroom. Attorneys for Tom Brady, Drew Brees and other players are scheduled to argue Wednesday before U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson that the lockout should be lifted immediately because it is causing them "irreparable harm." The league contends the request shouldn't be heard until the National Labor Relations Board weighs in on its claim that the players' union negotiated in bad faith. It will be the first time the two sides meet in court since the lockout was imposed more than three weeks ago. There have been no fresh talks to settle the labor impasse.

LEBRON MIAMI — LeBron James speaks often of his appreciation for NBA history. On Wednesday, he'll likely make some history. James needs only two points to reach 2,000 for the season, which would put him on another yet list alongside some of the game's greatest players. The NBA's two-time reigning MVP will become the eighth player to score 2,000 points seven times — and at 26, he will be the youngest member of that elite club. "It means a lot," James said. "It means I've stayed healthy over the years. It also means the teammates and coaching staffs that I've had have given me the leeway to go out there and score. I've just tried to take full advantage of it. There's a lot of hard work that goes into it and I just try to go out on the court and be the best player I can every night." There's bigger issues for Miami (54-23) to tackle against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night, namely trying to stay in position for the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference. The Heat entered Tuesday a half-game ahead of Boston (53-23) in the East race; the Celtics were playing Tuesday night at home against Philadelphia.
BONDS SAN FRANCISCO — Barry Bonds admits using steroids during his baseball career, his lawyer told a jury Tuesday. The catch is that Bonds' personal trainer misled him into believing he was taking flax seed oil and arthritis cream. "I know that doesn't make a great story," Allen Ruby said during his opening statement at the home run leader's perjury trial. "But that's what happened." Assistant U.S. Attorney Matt Parrella called such claims "ridiculous and unbelievable" and portrayed Bonds as a liar during his first chance to present the government's position. And so the crux of the criminal case against Bonds was laid before an eightwoman, four-man jury as the testimony phase of the trial got under way. Bonds has pleaded not guilty to four charges of lying to a grand jury in 2003 when he denied knowingly taking steroids and one count of obstruction.

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER Wednesday's focus switches to the West Coast as a strong and cold Pacific system drops south along the West Coast. This potent system will bring unseasonably cold temperatures, widespread precipitation and low snow levels along with gusty winds from the Pacific Northwest and Northern California eastward through the Intermountain West and Rockies from Wednesday into Thursday. Winds will increase ahead of the system, possible reaching 60 mph over higher elevations, affecting highways and interstates. Impacts will shift to icy roads Thursday morning over the Sierras and western Nevada as snow levels drop to all valley floors. Another cold front extending from the Central High Plains to southern Nevada Wednesday morning will continue to sag southeast, bringing more lower elevation rain and snow across the Four Corners and Central Plains. Some rain is expected to spread into parts of the Southwest and Southern Rockies. Moving to the East, a system is expected to move southeast across the Great Lakes and Northeast Wednesday, bringing a mix of rain and snow showers. Moreover, gusty winds that brought by Tuesday's cold front may linger for portions of the northern New England, and cold overnight temperatures may cause areas of frost over portions of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, but they should bounce back quickly during the day Wednesday.
