Crash kills 19-year-old Vehicle hits utility pole on Irish Potato Road Staff report
A 19-year-old man was killed in a single-vehicle accident when his car ran off Irish Potato Road and hit a utility pole Friday. Brandon Talbert of Kannapolis was flown to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, where he was pronounced dead. Highway Patrol Trooper E.K. Wooten said Talbert wasn’t wearing his seatbelt
and was thrown from the vehicle. There were no passengers in the car. Wooten said there were no indications of alcohol being involved and officials will await a toxicology report before concluding the investigation. Wooten said Talbert ran off the right side of the road about 3:30 p.m. and his vehicle flipped once at 5650 Irish Potato Road near Sapp Road in Cabarrus County.
Teacher’s assistant charged in assault on child with handicap SALISBURY — A teacher’s assistant in the program for exceptional children at Knollwood Elementary School resigned Friday after being charged with assaulting a handicapped student. Janet W. Pence, of 190 Morning Glory Lane, was released on a written promise to appear in court May 11, according to the
Rowan County Sheriff’s Office. An arrest warrant served Friday by Detective Clint Mauldin alleges Pence “unlawfully and willfully did assault and strike” a student Monday by “grabbing the left leg with sufficient force to cause injury.” Rita Foil, public information officer for Rowan-Salisbury

Woman accepts plea deal after methadone overdose of 3-year-old
SALISBURY — State lawmakers have tweaked legislation that would lift the cap on the number of charter schools allowed, but opponents remain wary. Backers of Senate Bill 8 say it would increase educational opportunities for children since charter schools are intended to provide innovative learning options, free from many of the regulations that apply to traditional public schools. “We need to provide more options under the public education umbrella,” Darrell Allison, president of Parents for Educational Reform in North Carolina, said. “Far too many families in our state and far too many families in Rowan-Salisbury have only one option.” There are currently 99 charter schools in 47 of the state’s 100 counties. Allison, who graduated from A.L. Brown High School in Kannapolis, said the success that many of those ALLISON charter schools are experiencing cannot be replicated because of the cap, and more than 20,000 students statewide are on waiting lists for charter schools. “The vast majority of North Carolina does not have a charter school,” he said. “It’s not that public charter schools are more superior, but if we have more options than children have a better chance at getting a quality education.” But opponents say the bill, which also seeks to clarify the current funding formula, could be detrimental to public school funding. “I think this would pretty much be a dagger in the heart of public education,” Dr. Jim Emerson, chairman of the Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education, said.

MISENHEIMER — Since it opened in 2002, Gray Stone Day School has grown from 80 to 315 students and become a successful model for charter

CHINA GROVE — A Rowan County woman has pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the 2009 overdose death of her child. Paula Marie Osterhus was charged in July 2009 after her 3-year-old daughter Kaely Osterhus ingested a lethal dose of methadone. Paula Osterhus, 30, of China Grove, received three years probation after entering the plea this week in Rowan County Superior Court. An autopsy report in 2009 said the child died of methadone toxicity. The methadone had been left in a food container within the PAULA OSTERHUS girl’s reach. The methadone, which was in a liquid form, had been prescribed to Paula Osterhus. A judge suspended a 16- to 20-month jail sentence and placed Osterhus on supervised probation. Osterhus was also ordered to submit to random drug testing and warrantless searches, not possess illegal controlled substances, and remain enrolled in Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. Osterhus also has to pay $318.50 in court costs, as well as $885 in fees for her KAELY OSTERHUS court-appointed attorney, Darrin Jordan of Salisbury. The autopsy report said Paula Osterhus discovered Kaely, who weighed 34 pounds, dead in her bed April 17, 2009. Paula Osterhus told investigators she found her daughter unresponsive at 5:48 p.m. that day. She called 911, but emergency responders were unable to revive the girl. Methadone is most commonly used to treat people who are addicted to opiates, such as heroin. It also is used to prevent withdrawal symptoms and for relief from chronic pain. Attempts to reach Paula Osterhus or her husband, Eric, were unsuccessful.
Shutdown averted as late-night negotiations pay off WASHINGTON (AP) — Perilously close to a government shutdown, President Barack Obama and congressional leaders reached a historic agreement late Friday night to cut about $38 billion in spending and avert the first federal closure in 15 years. Obama hailed the deal as “the biggest annual spending cut in history.” House Speaker John Boehner said that over the next decade it would cut government spending by $500 billion — and won an ovation from his rank and file, tea party adherents among them. “This is historic, what we’ve done,” agreed Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., the third man involved in negotiations that ratified a new era of divided government.

They announced the agreement less than an hour before government funding was due to run out, instantly turning hundreds of thousands of furlough notices for federal workers into historical relics. The shutdown would have closed national parks, tax-season help lines and other popular services, though the military would have stayed on duty and other essential efforts such as air traffic control would have continued in effect.

Pardon for post-Civil War governor up for consideration
FROM 1A
RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina lawmakers will try again to consider pardoning an ousted post-Civil War governor while meeting next week in the same historic building where the House impeached and the Senate convicted him after he sent troops to fight the Ku Klux Klan, a pardon sponsor said Friday. Sen. Neal Hunt, R-Wake, said fellow Senate Republican leaders have told him the bipartisan legislation to pardon former Gov. William Woods Holden will be acted upon Tuesday during a meeting of the Legislature in the old Capitol building. “Some of us were real interested in getting it done,” Hunt said, adding that the old Greek Revival-style Capitol on Union Square a block from the current Legislative Building is “just a perfect place to do it.” Holden, a Republican, was impeached in 1870 after he ordered a militia to quell activity by the KKK in Alamance and Caswell counties. He was convicted by the Democratic-controlled Senate in March 1871 on six counts following after a seven-week trial, making him the first governor removed from office in the United States. The Republicans returned to power in the Senate the first time since in January. A pardon vote got sidetracked two weeks ago when a staff member placed

A tradition at Gray Stone Day School is for students to post their names and colleges that have accepted them. On average, 98 percent of Gray Stone students go to college. on our heads today, not all of them could do it, but they would try.” Nance said about 98 percent of her students move on to pursue higher education. This year, students have earned more than $2 million in scholarships. “That’s one of the things we considered when we were writing the charter for Gray Stone, to not only prepare them for college but the help their families find ways to afford it,” Nance said. Grathwohl said Gray Stone fills an important niche, drawing students from six counties. “It provides opportunities in a rural area that many of these students would not otherwise have access to,” she said. Students also say that Gray Stone’s smaller class size was part of the appeal. Senior Eldon Zacek III, the Student Government Association president, said after attending private, public and charter schools he wanted to stick with a smaller school where he could explore more opportunities. “I like the fact that when I walk through the hallways I know every single person not just by name, but I actually know a little bit about them,” he said. “I’m not just part of the crowd.” Freshman Ben Weekly said after being home-schooled by his mother he wanted to find a smaller setting. And, he said if he had attended Albemarle High School he probably wouldn’t be playing basketball. “Sports teams are a lot easier to make here,” he said. Freshman Taylor Morris said the smaller class size means more one on one instruction from teachers. Zacek said he’s been able to form bonds with his teachers he might not have had in a traditional school setting. “What I love about the small school is the you really get in tune with where your students are coming from,” Nance said. “I think the most important thing that we do here is treat every child as an individual.” When Zacek graduates and heads to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he said he’s ready because of the preparation he received at Gray Stone. “I feel like I have the confidence to stand on my own two feet,” he said.

White House Budget Director Jacob Lew issued a directive saying that in view of the agreement, “agencies are instructed to continue their normal operations.” The deal came together after six grueling weeks and an outbreak of budget brinksmanship over the past few days as the two sides sought to squeeze every drop of advantage in private talks. Despite the accomplishment, officials noted it marked only a first step.

after the Klan hanged a black Republican and stabbed a white Republican senator to death. The militia brought the region under control with little opposition. Holden defended his actions and died in 1892. The pardon question became shrouded in mystery when Senate leaders couldn’t determine who placed on senators’ desks a document citing a book that accused Holden of running a corrupt administration and supporting carpetbaggers and scalawags. The document was unsigned, which is a violation of Senate rules. Apodaca said a security camera for the Senate chamber wasn’t working at the time. Senate leader Phil Berger said Tuesday the chamber’s sergeant-at-arms determined the paper was distributed by a House member’s aide. The lawmaker said he had nothing to do with the document. The aide, who no longer works at the Legislature, told reporters he acted on his own and said people deserved to examine different perspectives on Holden. The General Assembly has met occasionally for special events in the old Capitol since lawmakers left for the Legislative Building in 1963. Tuesday also marks the 235th anniversary of the Halifax Resolves, in which North Carolina’s provincial lawmakers authorized its delegates to the Continental Congress to vote for independence.

Reid, Obama and Boehner all agreed a shutdown posed risks to an economy still recovering from the worst recession in decades. But there were disagreements aplenty among the principal players in an early test of divided government — Obama in the White House, fellow Democrats in control in the Senate and a new, tea partyflavored Republican majority in the House. “Republican leaders in the House have only a few hours left to look in the mirror, snap out of it and realize how posiMany services to veterans would not have been affected by the reduced appropriations.

“Most of the policy issues have been dealt with, and the big fight is about spending,” he said. “When will the White House and when will Senate Democrats get serious about cutting federal spending?” By midday Friday, 12 hours before the funding would run out, most federal employees had been told whether they had been deemed essential or would be temporarily laid off in the event of a shutdown. Obama canceled a Friday trip to Indianapolis — and a weekend family visit to Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia — and kept in touch with both Boehner and Reid. The standoff began several weeks ago, when the new Republican majority in the House passed legislation to cut $61 billion from federal spending and place numerous curbs on the government.

tively shameful that would be,” Reid said at one point, accusing Republicans of risking a shutdown to pursue a radical social agenda. For much of the day, Reid and Boehner disagreed about what the disagreement was about. Reid said there had been an agreement at a White House meeting Thursday night to cut spending by about $38 billion. He said Republicans also were demanding unspecified cuts in health services for lower income women that were unacceptable to Democrats. “Republicans want to shut down our nation’s government because they want to make it harder to get cancer screenings,” he said. “They want to throw women under the bus.” Boehner said repeatedly that wasn’t the case — it was spending cuts that divided two sides.

that’s why she chose Gray Stone after leaving Southeast Middle School. “I feel like I’m getting a much better education and looking forward to college,” she said. Susan Grathwohl sent her daughters, Abby and Maggie, to Gray Stone because she wanted them to build a stronger academic foundation. “More than anything, we looked at the fact that this school is focused on academics and preparing students for the university level,” she said. GRATHWOHL Grathwohl said she feels her daughters have gained an edge by attending Gray Stone. “I’ve seen firsthand what being in an environment that’s centered around a competitive attitude about academics versus a high school where there are all different motivation levels can do.” Helen Nance said she set out to launch the school as a way to provide students with a more challenging atmosphere after her daughters began college, two at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and one at Wake Forest University. “(They) went to an area high school and because it was a small rural classroom they weren’t ready to compete with students coming from urban areas,” she said. While discussing her frustration with her husband, Jim, he threw out the idea to open a high school on the campus of Pfeiffer University. The charter for the school was approved in February 2002 and open by August that same year. “We basically had six months to open a school on paper, we had to find teachers and students to come to the school,” she said. Nance said the curriculum at Gray Stone is almost all honors and advanced placement (AP) courses. “It is a rigorous curriculum and it’s not the right fit for everybody,” she said. “On that note, everybody can come here.” Nance says student receive an “earned diploma” from the school. “Students have to be willing to work hard and be highly motivated to want to get this kind of an education,” she said. “If you make it through the four years you’ve worked hard.” Danny Blalock, a part time science teacher at the school, said he’s been amazed by the student motivation he’s seen at the school. “The kids aren’t mental giants, but they’re all very cooperative,” he said. “If I would say OK we’re going to stand
a document on the desk of senators questioning whether Holden deserved to be cleared, in part by citing an early 20thcentury historian. Some local residents where the militia was brought in also have emailed legislators opposing the move, saying Holden trampled upon the due process rights of people he jailed. The delay shouldn’t prevent the Senate from acting, according to Hunt. Contemporary historians have been more sympathetic to Holden. “If people don’t want to vote for it, they don’t have to vote for it,” he said. The Senate Rules Committee met Thursday, where members received a memo from the General Assembly’s bill drafting director saying the Legislature, and not just the governor, has the power to pardon over impeachment. The committee chairman, Sen. Tom Apodaca, R-Henderson, didn’t immediately return a phone call seeking comment Friday. Hunt said Apodaca told him the pardon question would be heard during Tuesday’s session. The pardon also would have to be approved by the House to have the stain upon Holden’s record officially removed. Recent historians have said Holden was a target of Reconstruction-era Democrats, who had favored secession in the Civil War and didn’t care for Holden, a former Democrat viewed as a turncoat.

Evening run benefits United Way BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — In only its second year, the BB&T Sunset Run/Walk 5K has been designated the location of the state championship series. The race, which will be held on Sept. 2, begins after sunset and coincides with other downtown events and incorporates a Kid’s Fun Run. The money raised from the event benefits the Rowan County United Way. “The best of the best will participate. We are not limited to people from North Carolina. If they win, they win the North Carolina Championship,” said David Freeze, president of Salisbury Rowan Runners. The designation is unusual, Freeze said, because most communities that are chosen to be the location for the state championships have races that have been established for five or 10 years. He credits the success of last year’s race as the reason for the classification. The Road Runners Club of America, the largest national association of running clubs, running events and runners, approved an application Freeze submitted following last year’s race. The Salisbury Rowan Runners is one of thousands of members of the Road Runners Club of America. The nationally recognized club, based in Virginia, designates cities for six different distance races including 10K and marathon. Salisbury is also home of the state 8K championship, a title it has held for about 10 years now.

CLEVELAND — Myers Forest Products has entered bankruptcy, according to documents filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court. The saw mill, pallet recycling and timber business at 355 Barber Junction Road filed Chapter 11, which allows a debtor to reorganize or liquidate under a court-approved plan. It wasn’t clear Friday what Myers Forest Products plans to do, though it continues to operate and has court approval to pay its 31 employees, according to court filings. Craig Myers, the company’s president, could not be reached by telephone Friday afternoon. No one answered the phone at the business or his home and a message was not returned. According to court filings, Myers Forest Products owes more than $1 million federal, state and county taxes. The Internal Revenue Service has a $1.3 million lien on the company’s property. The company also owes more than $615,000 in secured claims — those for which it has put up real estate or equipment as collateral — and more than $600,000 in unsecured claims. The company said in court filing it doesn’t expect to be able to pay those unsecured claims. According to court filings, Myers Forest Products grossed just over $3 million last year but has less than $50,000 in assets. Its land and buildings are valued at more than $500,000 and its equipment and other personal property at $1.17 million. But the property has been used to secure loans and one account with $200,000 owed the company has been designated “uncollectable.” The company has hired the Greensboro law firm Ivey, McClellan, Gatton & Talcott.

Undergrads help Fit Community runs, walk set for next weekend map blueberry’s DNA blueprint BY KATHY CHAFFIN
Center for the Environment
Mark your calendars for next Saturday. That’s the date of the first Fit Community 10K, 5K Walk and Fun Run, scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. at Salisbury City Park Shelter No. 1. The cost for the 10K is $25 for those who pre-register by Tuesday. Registration is $30 on the day of the race. Fun Run registration is $10. Competitive and recreational runners, walkers and Fun Run participants will traverse a 6.2-mile course featuring the Salisbury Greenway and North Main Neighborhood Sidewalk Project. The event is sponsored by the city of Salisbury, Salisbury Parks and Recreation and the Salisbury Rowan Runners Club. Two blocks of sidewalks added with the North Main Neighborhood Sidewalk Project allow residents to walk, bicycle and run to the adjoining Hurley Park. The project was the first of two sidewalk additions funded with a
combination of a $60,000 “Fit Community Program” grant from the N.C. Health and Wellness Trust Fund, direct contributions from the city of Salisbury and in-kind contributions from the city’s Street Division. The second phase added 800 feet of sidewalk along North Jackson Street adjacent to City Park and two areas with benches and trash receptacles for walkers. The third phase — the addition of a sidewalk along two blocks of Lake Drive connecting the North Main Neighborhood residents to the Salisbury Greenway — will start after the 10K and Fun Run, according to Joe Morris, senior planning director for Salisbury. The work will be financed with Salisbury City Council allocation funds. The Salisbury Greenway consists of 2.5 miles of recreational areas and linear parks for walking, biking and jogging. Staff from the Center for the Environment at Catawba College will be on hand with information on air quality and health as part of its Campaign for Clean Air, which is designed to educate citizens about the health risks of
poor air quality and to empower them to take action to reduce air pollution. The Center for the Environment, which is a co-sponsor of the Fit Community 10K, 5K Walk and Fun Run, launched its Campaign for Clean Air after a 2003 report by the American Lung Association ranked Rowan County as having the 16th worst ground-level ozone pollution in the nation among counties monitored. Rowan currently ranks 17th in the nation among counties monitored for ozone pollution. Campaign for Clean Air sponsors are the Blanche and Julian Robertson Family Foundation, the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, Food Lion, F&M Bank, GCS, Caniche, Power Curbers, N-Focus, First United Church of Christ Foundation, Square D and Piedmont Natural Gas.

Fred Steen and Harry Warren, would require high school students to take and pass either a semester course or a full-year course focusing on “the philosophical foundations of our form of government.” This would include “the principles underlying the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, the
Federalist Papers and the writings of the Founders, which are principles of government for a free people and are known as the ‘Founders’ Principles.’” The bill also would require statewide tests beginning with the 2012-13 academic year to include related questions. • Warren and Steen also are co-sponsors of legislation to amend the North Carolina Constitution to add, “Marriage is the union of one man and one woman at one time. No other relationship shall be recognized as a valid marriage by the state.”
The amendment would be submitted to voters in the statewide general election on Nov. 6, 2012. If approved, it would become effective Jan. 1, 2013. • Wednesday was the last day to file public bills in the House — the Senate has until this Tuesday — creating a flurry of activity this week. ••• Steen is a primary sponsor of bills to: • Make manufacture of any article or product while using stolen or misappropriated information technology an unfair practice.
• Require health care providers and health care facilities to release pathological materials and records to patients or their designated representatives, upon written request. • Authorize a study of the long-term future energy needs of the state and to develop a long-term plan that addresses the sources of energy that are able to meet those needs. Warren is a co-sponsor. • Ensure that the rules, policies and determinations in the North Carolina State Medical Facilities Plan apply equally to all applications - in-
cluding those from academic medical center teaching hospitals - for a particular type of health service. Warren is a cosponsor of the legislation, and Brock is co-sponsoring an equivalent bill in the Senate. • Make various amendments to the North Carolina Consumer Finance Act to increase consumer access and credit market parity. • Strengthen the laws regarding criminal history checks for child care providers. Steen is co-sponsoring legislation to: • Replace the current elec-
tronic monitoring service and equipment used to monitor convicted sex offenders with a new system that provides exclusion zones around all of the state’s K-12 school campuses. Warren is a primary sponsor of legislation to: • Require applicants for unemployment insurance benefits to undergo periodic drug testing. • Promote job growth in the state through regulatory reform. Steen is a co-sponsor of the legislation, known as the “North Carolina Jobs Bill.”

Lauby announced plans earlier this week to employ a crossbow due to concerns about use of firearms in the city. He now plans to go forward with a public education campaign urging citizens not to feed or give water to wild dogs. Lauby cautioned that there may still be times when animal enforcement officers will have to use firearms when dealing with wild dogs.
Teen pleads guilty in fatal crash CHARLOTTE (AP) — A Huntersville teenager has pleaded guilty to a crash that killed his friend after a night of inhaling fumes from a pressurized duster can to get high. Mark Tanner McMahon was sentenced to six months in jail Thursday after pleading guilty to felony death by vehicle. Police say McMahon told them he and Donald Francis
McDermott, 17, had been inhaling cans of compressed air before the April 2010 crash. Police say the pair had inhaled fumes from cans of dust remover spray, smoked marijuana and drank beer. Leaving to get more spray cans, police say a vehicle driven by McMahon went off the road , hit a tree and a parked car.
LEGISLATION
history as evidence of violation of the Racial Justice Act, which bars people from being subject to or sentenced to death on account of race. ••• N.C. Sen. Andrew Brock is a primary sponsor of legislation filed this week to: • Restrict voter registration forms and ballots to the English language except as required by federal law. ••• Brock is cosponsoring bills to: • Require all 11th-grade students to take the ACT test unless the student has already taken a comparable test and scored at or above a level set by the N.C. Board of Education. The bill also would require diagnostic tests in the eighth and 10th grades that align to the ACT test. The state board would continue to participate in the development of the Common Core State Standards and implement assessments it deems appropriate. • Require the department of commerce to maintain an online public database measuring job creation, retention and wage attainment in the state resulting from state and local government economic development incentives. • Eliminate second primary elections. • Prohibit the involuntary annexation of farms.
FROM 3a • Require photo identification on the supplemental food and nutrition program (SNAP or “food stamps”) debit cards and increase the cost of second and subsequent replacement cards to $25 each. ••• Warren is co-sponsoring legislation to: • Amend the North Carolina Constitution to establish a nine-member independent redistricting commission to operate after the 2020 Census. The bill also would strike some current requirements for redistricting in favor of new goals. • Shorten the early voting period by allowing it to start on the second Thursday before an election instead of the third. • Increase the income tax deduction for firefighters and rescue squad workers from $250 to $400. • Clarify that any infant born alive is included in the state’s definition of a person, regardless of whether the birth occurs “as a result of natural or induced labor, cesarean section or induced abortion.” The bill is known as the “Born Alive Infant Protection Act.” • No longer allow statistics about a prosecutor or the state’s death penalty
RACE FROM 3a he said. Betz McKeown, marketing and promotions manager for Downtown Salisbury Inc., said she expects participants to come from around the state and regionally. “It will bring a whole lot more people to the Salisbury/ Rowan area. It not only benefits our race, but the community at large,” said Jackie Harris, campaign and marketing director for Rowan County United Way. The event will raise more money so that the United Way can provide more services,
DNA FROM 3a about a possible collaboration. Campbell oversees the Genome Consortium for Active Teaching, an international network of undergraduate faculty who facilitate undergraduate genomics research in the classroom. “This is an innovative approach that allows students to design research projects to analyze real-world data using cutting-edge tools to make new discoveries. They are not simply performing canned experiments with a known outcome,” Brown said. Campbell sees further advantages to this sort of partnership between teaching and research. As educational institutions face unprecedented budget cuts, he challenges institutions to find innovative ways to leverage available funds. “Genomics research, in particular, relies on computers and Internet access, tools that are already available in any educational environment,” Campbell said. “Working with a funded researcher puts students on the cutting edge of science, challenging them to generate meaningful results at no additional cost.”
and it boosts tourism, Harris said. When Freeze mentioned the state championship status after last year’s race, Harris said, “We all thought that would be a good idea.” Harris said the event was made possible largely in part to the many volunteers that helped. One big change this year is the children’s race will take place first. The race will still begin on Fisher Street and end near Bank Street. To volunteer to help during the Sunset Run, contact the Rowan County United Way at 704-633-1802. Contact reporter Shavonne Potts at 704-797-4253.
Davidson College is 16 miles from the N.C. Research Campus in Kannapolis. Campbell acknowledges that this type of project doesn’t require face-to-face collaboration, but he does believe that students and the scientists benefit from being able to work face-to-face. “Science is a social endeavor, and it’s the synergy that happens when scientists get together in the same space that leads to real breakthroughs,” he said. Brown, along with colleagues from the David H. Murdock Research Institute and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, expects the blueberry genome to be published later this year. In addition to sequencing the genome, Brown’s lab has worked extensively to annotate the gene map, or identify a gene’s functionality, focusing on properties that promote human health. The Davidson College students chose projects that complemented, rather than duplicated, Brown’s research. “The students have produced novel information that can contribute to the body of knowledge that is developing for blueberry and plant genomics,” Campbell said.

’93 rampage illustrates complexities Flapjack Breakfast of changing concealed carry law postponed
RALEIGH (AP) — Fayetteville Police Lt. Tom Bergamine was on the scene while gun smoke was still in the air at a notorious 1993 shooting rampage that still stands as one of the touchstones that divide opinions about guns in society. He helped slap the handcuffs on wounded gunman Kenneth Junior French after the drunken Fort Bragg soldier ranting about gays in the military killed four patrons at Luigi’s Italian Restaurant. Advocates of expanding the right to carry concealed weapons point to the Luigi’s deaths and other rampages over the years as examples in which people could have protected themselves and others with their own well-placed shot. The state House last week approved legislation that would allow people allowed to carry concealed handguns in public parks and restaurants that serve alcohol, though they still could not drink any alcohol. But Bergamine, now Fayetteville’s police chief, and other local law enforcement leaders are uneasy about the change, which still must be approved by the state Senate and signed by Gov. Beverly Perdue before it could become law. “I think guns and alcohol definitely do not mix. That’s not a good mix, not at all,” Bergamine said. While the overwhelming majority of concealed-carry holders a law-abiding citizens, “when you have that propensity of alcohol being mixed and you’ve got that weapon on you, it could be disastrous.” Efforts to loosen laws on where officially screened gun owners can carry pistols are among the many policy shifts that have followed this year’s turnover of control at the General Assembly to Republicans. North Carolina lawmakers this year also are considering:
More people carrying guns into Ky. Capitol FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky has seen a surge in people carrying guns into the Capitol, a legal activity here and in at least 10 other states, but one that is worrisome to critics. More than 50 people brought guns into Kentucky’s Capitol over the past three months, at a time when the legislature was involved in heated debates on a variety of emotional issues, including proposed new restrictions on illegal immigrants and on mountaintop removal coal mining, both of which resulted in angry demonstrations. Gun rights proponents consider it no big deal that people can stroll through the Capitol armed. But critics believe they should have to leave their weapons at home. “The Capitol should be a safe place, where legislators can perform their responsibility as representatives of the democracy, to debate issues with openness and honesty and without fear,” said Democratic state Rep. Jim Wayne of Louisville. State police documented 53 instances in which visitors carried guns into the Capitol between Jan. 1 and March 31, more than twice the number that had been brought inside in the previous year and a half, a review by the Associated Press found. Brian Malte, director of mobilization for the Washington-based Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, called that “a recipe for disaster.” “We’re strongly opposed to carrying loaded guns, whether openly displayed or concealed, into sensitive places like state Capitols,” he said. Information provided to The Associated Press under an Open Records Act showed that 14 of the people who brought guns into the Kentucky Capitol were off-duty police officers. The remaining 39 were civilians. Of those, 25 carried their guns openly, and 14 had their guns concealed.
• Reducing the crime of carrying a firearm on school property from a felony to a misdemeanor. • Preventing a declaration of disaster or martial law from allowing authorities to ban the carrying, sale or use of lawfully owned firearms and ammunition. • Allowing guns to be locked in cars parked on company property. • Repealing the state law that requires a permit to sell or otherwise transfer a pistol. • Allowing firearms to be purchased in another state if purchase requirements there are satisfied. While all are ideas that Republicans have sought and seen stalled by Democratic majorities in the past, all but expanding where concealed handguns are allowed are unlikely to see action as lawmakers turn their attention to balancing the state budget, House Speaker Thom Tillis said this week. “It’s not like we’re having one a week,” said Tillis, RMecklenburg. The activity in North Carolina is part of a national trend to ease limits on where licensed gun owners can carry weapons. Lawmakers in 13 states have introduced bills to allow guns on college campuses, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. New Hampshire and Montana are considering bills to allow guns in the statehouse, which nine states already allow. Georgia is considering allowing licensed gun owners to carry their weapon anywhere except into prisons, jails, nuclear power plants and state mental health facilities. Among the places that people could carry guns are restaurants, churches or political events. North Carolina and 33 other states require agencies to issue concealed carry permits to people who meet screening criteria, according
to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. Wisconsin and Illinois prohibit concealed handguns. Vermont, Arizona, Wyoming, and Alaska require no permit to carry concealed in public. Law officers note that they rarely have trouble with people who undergo the criminal background checks and course requirements to get a concealed carry permit. “I’ve not really had any issues with people who have been licensed. They go through an extensive check. It’s been a successful program in our county,” said Rockingham County Sheriff Samuel Page, who has more than 2,700 licensees among a county of 92,000. The recent House vote to open parks and more restaurants to the places where concealed handguns can go included a late change allowing local officials to continue placing childrens’ playing fields and swimming pools off limits. This was necessary, supporters said, because adults have been known to lose their minds and all control in anger over the games their children play. That change was important to the state’s top police officers, said Patricia Norris, the president of the North Carolina Association of Chiefs of Police. “I think that was the biggest issue, that municipalities have a say-so in how they could run business in their cities,” said Norris, the police chief at Winston-Salem State University and previously Winston-Salem’s police chief. As long as that provision stays in the legislation, police chiefs will salute and enforce the law, she said. “I’m not aware of any cases where people who have any permits have caused any issues. It’s not so much the folks who go through the permit process as those who carry guns illegally,” Norris said.

A forecast Traveling with the cards full of bluster A tumultuous trip ... for a worthy cause Dart to predictions of an above-average hurricane season for the Atlantic this year. This is not what you want to hear while recovering from an early spring storm system that swept across the South, pummeling Rowan County and other parts of the Carolinas. The hurricane forecast issued annually by the storm experts at Colorado State University foresees 16 named storms this season, with nine becoming fullblown hurricanes and five escalating to the “major hurricane” category. It also says the probability of a major hurricane making U.S. landfall is about 140 percent of the long-term tracking average. Sounds like reason enough to check the battery supply and stock up on bottled water, but no need to rush. The hurricane season doesn’t officially begin until June. • • • Laurels to a small but noteworthy step toward lessening the influence of politics in state judicial appointments. The change comes courtesy of Gov. Bev Perdue, who last week signed an executive order creating a statewide panel that will make recommendations for replacements when unexpected vacancies occur in Superior Court, the Court of Appeals and N.C. Supreme Court. Previously, governors have acted unilaterally in appointing judges to fill those positions when they become vacant through resignation or death. The move is supported by the N.C. Bar Association, which is also the primary sponsor of a measure (Senate Bill 458) that would establish a commission to nominate judicial candidates who would then be elected through nonpartisan contests and undergo retention elections for subsequent terms. • • • Dart to another recycling crime trend — a surge in the theft of auto batteries. As the price of copper has dropped, authorities say thieves are now targeting batteries, which can be sold to recycling plants. Police in Charlotte are the latest to report a surge in the theft of batteries from cars parked in driveways, on streets, at businesses and even in church parking lots. Along with individual owners, dealerships and used-car lots are also targets. Rogues recently made off with 25 batteries taken from vehicles on a used-car lot in Akron, Ohio. Best battery protection? Have a working alarm system and avoid parking in isolated areas.

Moderately confused
can’t say it was a spur-ofthe-moment decision. It was almost 30 years in the making. Yesterday, after months of talking about it, my husband and I decided to break down and buy a Blu-ray player to replace our old DVD system. “Can we please pay the store a bunch of money,” I said, “to come out and install it for us?” My husband stared at the rat’s nest of wires behind the TV, then squared SHARON his chin defiantly RANDALL like Mel Gibson in “Braveheart” facing the English army. “No,” he said. “I’ll hook it up.” “Right,” I said, mumbling to myself, “let the cussing begin.” It’s a good thing I love movies. Over the years I’ve paid a lot more than dollars to see them. Growing up, I liked to stay up late to watch TV. My mother never knew it because I did so on the sly, crawling under the covers to the end of my bed to crane my neck and peer down the hall until I could see, almost, the TV in the living room. At the time, I thought I was clever. Now I think it’s why I often had a “crick” in my neck. But one night I watched Susan Hayward go to the gas chamber in “I Want to Live!” (“Just this once,” she said, “I wish it wasn’t ladies first”) and from then on I was, as my mother liked to say, a plumb fool for the movies. My oldest child inherited my weakness. I let him stay up with me one night to watch John Astin in “Evil Roy Slade.” (Accused of having evil in his heart, Evil Roy replies, “It’s in my heart and in my hands, in my eyes and a lot in my feet. I love kicking!”) After that, the boy was a plumb fool, too. When he was 10, he begged me to let him take a paper route so he could save up to buy a newfangled VCR that his dad said we couldn’t afford. I was itching to get a VCR, too, but I made him wait until he was 12 to get the paper route. (It was the newspaper’s rule.) Thus began one of the longest years of my life. Every morning before dawn, a stack of papers was dropped on our porch for the boy to bundle, stuff in a big backpack, climb on his bike and deliver to a 20block radius. Sometimes, he needed help. If it rained, I drove our VW bus and he tossed papers from the open sliding door. At times, the door would fall off. This was not as much fun as it sounds. But the boy managed to save a whopping $400 and bought our first VCR. Then he quit tossing papers, and we watched a lot of movies: “Midnight Run,” “Platoon,” “The Silence of the Lambs,” “The Wonderful World of Pigeons” (that was any film I picked that proved to be a dud.) But even a bad movie is better with really good company. And a lot of popcorn. Then the boy went off to college and became an actor, of all things. And I had to learn how to set a VCR (and later, a DVR) to record him on TV. We don’t get to see movies together much anymore, he and I. But we still call each other up to say, “I just saw something I think you should see.” We all swap suggestions, my three kids, their others, my husband, his two boys, my sister. We’re a family of critics. We all know what each other likes. If they tell me to watch something, I do. That’s why we decided to get a Blu-ray. Our kids said it will allow us (for a monthly fee, of course) to “stream” movies from Netflix to our TV. I don’t know what that means. But I liked the sound of it. So we bought a Blu-ray player, and with minimal cussing my husband set it up (I plugged it in), along with a Netflix account. And guess what? It works! Now all I have to do is learn how to use it before it’s obsolete. • • • Contact Sharon Randall at randallbay@earthlink.net.

orty-seven boxes … over 14,000 greeting cards … nearly $600 mailing costs … what could we do? Two local businesses had given our ministry their unsold Christmas cards, and my daughter and her family had brought most of them to my house. About a dozen of us got together to prepare these cards for shipping. The boxes had been stacked in my dining/living room for over a month. My house was beginning to look like a warehouse instead of a little dollhouse. I discovered that the organization “Give 2 the Troops” in Greenville, N.C., had storage space and could keep the boxes until time to send the Christmas LINDA cards to our soldiers. BECK My neighbor, Donna, and I decided to take our vehicles to deliver the boxes. Even with the high costs of gasoline, we believed that would be the thing to do. I had discovered a Christian Women’s Club in Greenville, and they needed a speaker, so I could “kill two birds with one stone.” Everything went smoothly on the trip over. Donna was in the lead with her GPS, and I followed her like a little puppy. I had been curious about how this organization handled the boxes on some occasions when we shipped to them instead of directly to Iraq. It is a large building with cubicles and tables for sorting and packing. They send 400 boxes a month to our servicemen. We learned that they would open the boxes and put so many cards in individual zip-lock bags and every soldier will receive a bag of miscellaneous items. (The organization always needs and appreciates gifts of all size zip-lock bags or money to purchase them.) Volunteers work three days a week preparing shipments. Donna and I left to eat and then went to our hotel. After we got there, Donna had some minor problems with her SUV but was able to fix them. Unfortunately, she then locked her keys in the SUV. We had to call a locksmith, but fortunately my new AAA insurance covered that. We thought everything was ready for a peaceful night in a nice handicapped motel room. When I had to get up during the night to go to the bathroom, I was so sleepy I must not have gotten completely back in the bed. I woke up in tremendous pain, with my legs

wrapped in the cover hanging off the bed. Awakened by my moans and groans, Donna helped me get completely in the bed and the remainder of the night went just fine. Tuesday morning, we went straight to the Country Club for lunch, and then I was the speaker. The microphone did not work properly and I thought I did the worse presentation I have ever done for Christian Women’s Club. We started home and problems went with us! Donna messed up about three times when she was listening to her GPS and even once we ended up on a dead end street in a housing development. I came very close to having several accidents. The last time was when I had to turn and slam on the brakes. My left front brake started smoking, and the odor was horrific. We drove very slowly to the first open business. They told us there was a repair shop a few miles up the road but it might already be closed. The left front caliper had locked and the front pad had burned. One of the lug nuts was very difficult to remove, which required extra time. It ended up only costing $265. It could have cost much more because the mechanics worked three and a half hours past closing time. Had they not been willing to do that, it would have been very difficult to get my scooter and me to a hotel to stay overnight. God sent three angels to help us with the van problems! I got so tired and sleepy driving that we had to stop twice so I could take short power naps. We finally arrived in my driveway at midnight. Did we make the right decision? Maybe, maybe not. I should have solicited financial help in mailing the boxes. Donna and I would have certainly enjoyed the trip more if we had only needed one vehicle. I think we learned some valuable lessons. I certainly have to admit it is not safe for me to travel alone anymore. I have no intention, however, of allowing Satan to keep me from the mission God has given me. My daughter had dreamed I was in a terrible accident, but God was our pilot and He brought us home safely. • • • Linda Beck is an author, speaker and freelance writer living in Woodleaf.

Thanks to all who rendered help after motorcycle crash My husband was involved in a motorcycle wreck while trying to go to work Monday morning. A truck pulled out in front of him on Peach Orchard Road. Instead of T-boning the truck, my husband locked the brakes and laid his bike down, falling off in the process. The person who pulled out in front of him never even stopped, leaving my husband lying bleeding in the road. I want to sincerely thank each and every one of the witnesses who stopped to offer aid to him before medics arrived. I don’t know what would have happened if you had not offered help and assistance to Stewart. I know the driver of the pickup that left the scene does not care, but to those that offered aid, Stewart was flown to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and had emergency surgery on his right leg. He broke his right shoulder, right femur and had stitches in his lip, along with a lot of road rash. But he is alive and making great recovery. Also, great thanks to the witness that followed the truck and got its tag number. This helped police find the driver, and I and my husband are grateful to you for that. To the person who was wearing military gear and helped Steward, we have your camo jacket. My husband would like to return it to you. Thank you to all who helped my husband, Stewart Thomas. — Janet Thomas Salisbury

Journalists see signs of worsening struggles in Libya MISRATA, Libya (AP) — Moammar Gadhafi’s government brought foreign journalists to Misrata to show that its forces hold significant control over the only major city in western Libya still in rebel hands, but the trip suggested that their situation had if anything grown more dire after weeks of laying siege to the enemy’s stronghold. Reporters were bused to the same intersection, more than a mile from downtown, where government officials took them about 10 days ago. Back then, it was to show the effects of a NATO airstrike. This time, it was simply as far as the tour could go before the sounds of gunfire and shelling forced officials to turn around. At one point, the journalists took cover amid gunfire. A Libyan soldier received a head wound in the shooting. Buildings were heavily pockmarked from battle, as they were previously. But while Gadhafi’s forces at the intersection were seen on open ground on the earlier visit, this time the few soldiers there were hiding out in buildings or on rooftops. The scene along the road from Tripoli, dotted with burned-out tanks and sand banks, underscored the devastating struggle over Misrata.

Lance Wells of dallas takes a photo of an eVco charger connected to two electric cars in texas at the arlington convention center on Friday.
Texas taking lead on putting in electric cars infrastructure ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — In a state where the oil and gas industry is king, the arrival of electric vehicles and building the charging infrastructure have jolted the public’s perception about Texas, Gov. Rick Perry said Friday. “Here in Texas, we don’t just talk about it. We’re doing something about it,” Perry said in Arlington at an energy company’s event, later joking that most people probably would not have associated Texas with emission-free vehicles. But it’s “what they should have been thinking,” he said. Texas already has dozens of charging stations in Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and some suburbs, according to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels & Advanced Vehicles Data Center. Drivers can plug their cars into docking stations at various places — including Houston City Hall, a hotel near Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, a San Antonio Church and even the Dell Computers headquarters near Austin. All electric cars can be charged at those slower charging stations that add power in about four to eight hours, depending on the size and life left in the battery, industry officials said. But electric cars are still fairly new, and some attribute slow sales to the vehicles’ high costs and use limited to short trips. On Friday, NRG Energy said its new station at a drug store in Dallas is the state’s first fast-charging station, which can be used by some of the vehicles and has a recharger with a 480-volt direct current that can add 30 miles of range to an electric car in as few as 10 minutes.
Brazilian families bury kids killed by school gunman RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Parents screamed in anguish and clung to coffins as families buried most of the 12 children gunned down in their elementary school. A black police helicopter dropped white rose petals over mourners and a nation was left struggling for answers. More than a thousand people gathered for the first funerals, held at a cemetery atop a hill overlooking the working-class neighborhood where the school shooting took place a day earlier. “My love! My love!” screamed Noelia Rocha as the body of her 12-year-old daughter, Mariana, was placed in a whitewalled cement tomb. As pallbearers placed a cover on the tomb, the mother wept uncontrollably before medical personnel on standby guided her away.

Please help. — Overgifted DEAR OVERGIFTED: There is no graceful way to return a gift to a sensitive person. You could express your gratitude by redeeming the gift card in a way that can promote some togetherness. If you are able to put this toward a meal or shared experience of some kind, you should include her. If not, invite her and her sister to your home for dinner. I agree that she has made a poor and irresponsible choice. But people who don’t manage their own money well sometimes also overspend on other people. Your husband should try to help his mother get a handle on her finances. She would benefit from some basic financial guidance. He could ask his mother to accept financial mentoring or take a class in personal financial management. If she’ll agree to it, he should research qualified professionals and offer to accompany her to her first meeting. DEAR AMY: I’ve been married for 22 years. My husband has cheated on me twice.

Wisconsin Supreme Court challenger wants recount WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) — A stunning discovery of votes in Wisconsin could give the state’s hotly contested Supreme Court race to the conservative incumbent in an election largely seen as a referendum on Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s explosive union rights law. Adding another twist, the county clerk who said she incorrectly entered vote totals in the race has faced criticism before for her handling of elections and previously worked for a state GOP caucus when it was controlled by the candidate who stands to benefit from Thursday’s revelation. The corrected totals gave Justice David Prosser a 7,500-vote lead over little-known liberal assistant state attorney general JoAnne Kloppenburg. Kloppenburg’s campaign manager, Melissa Mulliken, demanded a full explanation of how the error occurred.
Mom withheld meds from son because they made him sick LAWRENCE, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts woman charged with attempted murder for withholding cancer treatment from her autistic son testified Friday that she did not give him at least five months of chemotherapy medications because the side effects made him so sick she was afraid the treatments would kill him. Kristen LaBrie, testifying for the second day at her attempted murder trial, said she mostLABRIE ly followed doctor’s orders during the first four phases of treatment for her son, Jeremy Fraser. But she said she stopped giving him his cancer medications during the final phase of his treatment because she “didn’t want to make him any sicker.” LaBrie said she told her son’s doctor two or three times that she was afraid “that he just had had it.” “He was just not capable of getting through any more chemotherapy,” LaBrie said. “I really felt that it could out-villainize the disease — the medicine could — because he was very, very fragile.”
In-law worried about spending on gift card DEAR AMY: My mother-inlaw and I have a tenuous relationship. She is very nice to my face but blames me whenever my husband and I make any decision she doesn’t like, particularly when it involves attending family events. She lost her ASK full-time job AMY and works part time at a department store. She has debt and a mortgage. She lost one house a few years ago and is in danger of losing the one she and her sister live in. She is looking for a job and wants to take some classes. For my birthday she gave me a $100 gift card. Normally, I would accept the gift, say thank you and bite my tongue to keep the peace. However, because she clearly needs the money (and we don’t), my husband and I feel strongly that we should return the gift card. Is there a graceful way to do this? She is very sensitive, and we don’t want to hurt her feelings or create more tension.

ond affair a few years ago. It was a very rough time. Went to counseling. I told him I needed him to distance himself from her. I was careful with my words. She lives out of state, but due to business, now they will be traveling together at times, and he told me to assume that she is on the road with him instead of my asking all the time. The physical part of the affair stopped. However, we work together, and when he is in his office he texts her. I confronted him about this. He said at least he has his phone muted so I can’t hear his texting. He knows it is rude and unfair, but he can’t stop being her friend. He is happier with her in his life. In between all of this, I went to counseling again. I’m numb inside and feel I deserve better. My kids are older — I know they will be fine — and he is also very mean to me. Now I’m back to square one. — Numb Inside DEAR NUMB: You are not at square one; you have the benefit of assessing 22 years of a pattern of behavior. This pattern will not
change on its own, and your husband has no incentive to change because he’s happy with things as they are. Your husband’s phone isn’t the only thing that’s muted. He has also muted you. You must decide if you want to continue to include this third party in your marriage. If not, you should call a lawyer to explore your options. DEAR AMY: The letter from “Shorted Daughter” about dividing her mother’s assets was just like my situation. Her brother borrowed $160,000 from the mother and didn’t pay it back. The daughter would receive $160,000 off the top of the estate. If the brother had repaid the money he borrowed, it would have been absorbed in the estate and she would have only received $80,000. — Cashed Out DEAR CASHED: Exactly. Or if her mother had spent the repaid money, this sister would receive nothing. Send questions via e-mail to askamy@tribune.com or by mail to Ask Amy, Chicago Tribune, TT500, 435 N.

BEIRUT (AP) — Mass protests calling for sweeping changes in Syria’s authoritarian regime turned deadly Friday, with the government and protesters both claiming heavy casualties as the country’s three-week uprising entered a dangerous new phase. The bloodiest clashes occurred in Daraa, where human rights activists and witnesses said Syrian security forces opened fire on tens of thousands of protesters, killing 25 people and wounding hundreds. State-run TV said 19 policemen and members of the security forces were killed when gunmen opened fire on them. It was the first significant claim of casualties by the Syrian government, which has contended that armed gangs rather than true reform-seekers are behind the unrest. The protests were in response to calls by organizers to take to the streets every Friday to demand change in one of the most rigid nations in the Middle East.

GREENBRIER, Ark. (AP) — A pair of magnitude-3.9 earthquakes rumbled through central Arkansas this week, about a month after two companies halted operations at nearby injection wells over concerns that they may be linked to the seismic activity plaguing the region. The latest big quake struck near Greenbrier on Friday morning, less than 24 hours after an equally strong quake hit nearby, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Officials said no one was hurt and damage was minimal. The quakes are the largest in the area, about 35 miles north of Little Rock, since the companies agreed to temporarily cease operations at the wells at the behest of the Arkansas Gas and Oil Commission. The wells, used to dispose of wastewater from natural-gas production, ceased operations on March 4. Their owners — Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake Energy and Clarita Operating — have said they don’t think the injection wells are tied to the earthquakes. And with the latest rash of quakes, some people in Greenbrier, including police dispatcher Steve Priddy, are questioning the potential link as well. “I’m not sure that it is the injection wells,” Priddy said. But an Arkansas Geological Survey official said it would be premature to rule out a possible tie to the wells.

GRAY STONE
Senate Bill 8 The bill to lift the cap on charter schools in North Carolina passed the state Senate in February before heading to the House. House members amended the bill to include provisions to require all charter schools to have at least 50 students and develop a transportation plan. The bill has passed the second reading in the House and will likely be up for a third reading Monday before it goes back to the Senate.
FROM 1a
The proposed legislation would also give counties an option to provide money for school construction. “In the past, there has been no funding for capital projects and that has been a hindrance for charter schools,” Nance said. “Facilities is the hardest things for any school starting up.” Nance said being able to use Pfeiffer University’s Harris building as a hub for the school allowed her to launch Gray Stone in 2002. And her dream of a separate facility came true this year when the school moved into a 53,000-square-foot facility on land donated by Pfeiffer. But Nance said getting there was tough. She pinched pennies and sought donations to build the $7 million building. “I thought we could do a building in a couple of years, but it took forever,” she said.
Money talk Tara Trexler, chief financial officer for the Rowan Salisbury School System, said the district provided charter schools with about $125,000 this year and that number could rise by more than $112,000 next year if Senate Bill 8 becomes law. Sen. Andrew Brock, RRowan/Davie, a co-sponsor of the bill, said the legislation would provide a more equi-

Allison agrees that the bill would distribute funds more evenly. “No one is looking to rob or take money from our traditional public schools,” he said. “But we are saying that we need to make sure our public schools are fairly funded and our charter schools are fairly funded because at the end the day they are both public schools.” School board member Bryce Beard said charter schools should be dubbed “cherry picking schools,” because they receive funding from public schools without having to follow the same standards. “They get all of the sweet and none of the bitter,” he said.

Gray Stone Day School seniors Eldon Zacek III and Joseph Streble talk in a hallway.
Failing without funds Since the state’s charter school movement began in 1996, 33 charters have folded, at least 23 of which failed due to financial issues. One local example is Rowan Academy. When the school closed in January 2006, it was more than $200,000 in debt, according to Post archives. The school, which opened in 1999, struggled financially for years before shutting down. When the school shut down, state education officials told the Post it was doing well academically, but lack of building funds made it difficult to secure an inexpensive, centrally located building. Allison said the bill’s additional allocation of dollars to charters would help others avoid Rowan Academy’s fate. “The finances and the administrative end are very challenging and you have to be just as sharp there as you are in the classroom,” he said.
Diversity in charters The N.C. Legislative Black Caucus voiced its opposition to the bill this week, saying it neglects the needs of minority students. “We all believe in the same dream: quality public schools that serve all students, but the charter school bill is a nightmare for poor and minority students in North Carolina,” said Rep. Henry Michaux, DDurham in a statement “(It) divides public education along racial and socio-economic lines, and would leave many kids behind.” According to information provided by the state education department, about twothirds of the charters consist of students predominately of the same race. White students make up at least 75 percent of the student body at 47 charters and black students are the majority at about 21. Allison said many public schools aren’t racially equal and he said it’s more impor-

Why more charters? Nance said when she opened Gray Stone she never intended to compete with traditional public schools, instead her goal was to provide an option for students who wanted a more challenging curriculum. She said she’d like to see traditional and charter schools work together to figure out innovative ways to educate students. Allison said he believes adding more charter schools throughout the state could spark “friendly competition.” “Perhaps it will spur the sharing of best practices,” he said. “At the end of the day, regardless of what design or model of the school, we want to make sure our students have the best education they can possibly have.” Brock said he would like to

GASTONIA (AP) — Police say a woman has been sentenced to 27 days in jail for stealing a $2 glass of tea. The Gaston Gazette reports Friday that 22-yearold Latasha Danielle Dellinger was one of two women who ordered water, then filled up their glasses with tea at a self-service drink stand in a Gastonia restaurant. The women said they didn’t like the restaurant’s service and then yelled out to customers that there was a bomb in the building. Police searched the building to make sure there was no actual bomb threat, and both women were arrested. Dellinger accepted a plea agreement that dropped the false bomb threat charge if she pleaded guilty to larceny. Kia Tineka Sessons is expected in court April 29 on another charge.

districts to share school nutrition, transportation and early childhood education money. Earlier versions of the bill did not require charter schools to provide transportation or food services, but the current legislation includes provisions that address both. It would require charter schools to create a plan to provide food for any student who lives in a household with an income below 185 percent of the federal poverty rate and transportation for any students who meet that criteria and live within three miles of the school. According to data provided by the N.C. Department of Public Instruction, 35 charter schools already provide free and reduced lunch programs. But Joel Medley, the state’s interim charter schools director, said that number could be deceiving. “Many charter schools feed kids every day but choose not to participate in the free and reduced lunch programs,” he said. Medley said they often can’t afford to take part in the program because of regulations such as facility requirements. And, he said, many choose to use contract food providers. Helen Nance, chief administrator and co-founder of Gray Stone Day School, said her school partners with Salisbury’s Mr. Gatti’s to provide meals three times a week and school clubs sell individually packaged items the remaining two days. And although the meals aren’t free of charge, Nance said no one goes hungry. “We’ll always make sure somebody has a meal if they need one,” Nance said. Thirty-five charter schools across the state currently provide transportation to and from school, according to data from the education department. Medley said the actual number of charters providing transportation is actually higher, because data is only provided by charters that have their own buses and vans. He said some charters use car pools, city bus lines and even ferry systems to get children to their schools each day. “They have to be creative,” he said. Gray Stone does not provide transportation because of its rural setting, but Nance said she works with parents to coordinate car pools.

Tiger roars back
Hornets blank West BY JAKE MILLER
BY PAUL NEWBERRY Associated Press
AUGUSTA, Ga. — The fist kept pumping. The cheers kept growing. The ball kept dropping. In the fading sunlight of Augusta National, Tiger Woods finally looked like himself again. Rory McIlroy goes to the weekend at the Masters with a two-stroke lead, a worthy reward for two superb days of golf by the 21-year-old from Northern Ireland. But all eyes will be on the guy who’s three shots back, in
a position that used to be more familiar. Woods shot a 6-under 66 Friday, his best round at the Masters since he captured the last of his four green jackets in 2005. “I’ve played myself back in the championship,” he said. Woods hasn’t gone this low at the Masters since he shot 65 in the third round of the ‘05 tournament when he went on to beat Chris DiMarco in a playoff. A lot has changed since

Matt Miller had a terrific evening with a home run at the plate and a win on the mound for south rowan.
Miller time for South BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
SPENCER — South pitcher Matt Miller eyes widened when he So. Rowan 10 looked over No. Rowan 5 some of N o r t h Rowan’s batting averages, but he made the high-scoring Cavaliers look human. Miller, a junior right-hander, was in complete control for five innings on the mound and walloped a three-run homer to help himself. “Got a really nice fastball down the middle,” said Miller, a two-way stud who now has four wins and three homers. South won 10-5, the Raiders’ seventh straight victory in the intra-county series. The last time North beat South was a 9-2 decision in 2006 behind Keegan Linza. “I just looked at this as a very fun game,” Miller said of the non-conference affair. “North does have some pretty good bats. It was a good challenge for me.” Defensive struggles continue to be the biggest area of concern for the 1A Cavaliers (10-3), who had a seven-game winning streak snapped. They made eight errors, two on one wild play. It’s possible to overcome that sort of thing against Tyler buckwell/sALisBUrY post south shortstop dylan Goodman hit the first home run of his shaky teams, but not against South Rowan (8-5), a sound varsity career in south’s 10-5 triumph. club that usually doesn’t beat
itself and is headed for a berth in the 3A playoffs. “I’m almost glad it happened because it’s a lesson we’ve got to learn,” North coach Aaron Rimer said. “It’s like we just walk out there and figure we can score enough runs to win. But you’re not always able to score two touchdowns. You have to play some defense.” North did play some defense. Mason Jennings made a great diving catch in center field to rob Jacob Dietz of a hit, but not being able to make some routines buried the Cavs in a deep hole. Eric Tyler’s groundball should’ve given North starting pitcher Matt Laurens a 12-3 first inning, but Tyler reached, Dietz followed with a single, and Miller rocked one into the trees for a quick 3-0 lead. “We’ve been working with Miller on his swing, and he’s swinging it good now,” South coach Thad Chrismon said. “He really wants to be a complete player.” North scraped an unearned run in the third to make it a 41 game, but mostly Miller was shoving. He fanned seven and walked none. “Matt was Matt,” Chrismon said. “He gave us a very strong outing against a quality opponent. North’s not only a good-hitting team, it’s a very experienced team, but we had a good day. Our defense made
some nice plays, and that fueled us.” Miller also beat North in 2010. He pitched four shutout innings with six Ks in a 10-0 victory. South took a 9-1 lead with a five-run fifth that was triggered by a solo homer by sophomore shortstop Dylan Goodman. Goodman had a strong game, contributing two hits, plus a dazzling defensive play. “It’s the first home run I’ve hit in a while,” Goodman said. “But they were throwing good pitches, I got ahead in the count, and I got a good fastball to hit.” North teetered on the edge of a 10-run-rule loss, but the drama escalated in the sixth when the Cavs put together a big inning against South reliever Dillon Parker. Two walks cracked the door for a North rally. After Hunter Feezor chopped an infield single to load the bases, Laurens singled home a run. North added three more runs on Mason Jennings’ RBI groundout, a wild pitch and Dakota Brown’s run-scoring single to close the gap to 9-5. When Wesley Barker followed with another base hit, the Cavs had two men on for .600-hitter Alex Morgan, and Matt Mauldin, who already

MOUNT ULLA — Carson’s baseball team didn’t do anything the easy way F r i d a y Carson 5 night. T h e West Rowan 4 Cougars stumbled down the stairs at West Rowan and somehow landed on their feet. “We made it more interesting than it had to be,” winning coach Chris Cauble said after Carson rallied for a 54, eight-inning win. “It was a battle, but we’ll take the ‘W.’” CHS (8-6, 5-3 NPC) snapped a two-game losing streak and strengthened its grip on fourth place in the league standings. Sixth-place West (2-14, 17) erased a t w o - r u n PEELER deficit when P a t r i c k Hampton conked a game-tying sixth-inning home run, then scored twice in the bottom of the eighth before succumbing. BRIDGES “It was a great game to watch. Unfortunately we were on the wrong end of it,” said Falcons’ coach Chad Parker. “We’ve been that close a lot of times. We’ve got to get over that hump so people will start to believe.” The teams played this game in a hurry until the final inning. It was barely an hour old when Carson plated its second unearned run against West righthander Matt Miller in the top of the sixth to take a 2-0 lead. The first run crossed in the top of the fourth when Gunnar Hogan reached on an error and eventually scored when teammate Gavin Peeler was caught in a rundown. Two innings later Joe Basinger scored on Peeler’s foul-out to first-basemen Madison Osborne. Both of Carson’s runs scored without the benefit of a base hit. “We really haven’t been hitting like we need to be,” Cauble said. “We came into the game knowing we’d have to try to small-ball a run here and there when we could. It worked for us.” All that work was nullified when Hampton drove a 1-2 pitch from Carson reliever Ethan Free in the woods in left-center field. “We’d been getting guys on base all night but we kept making bonehead mistakes,” said Hampton. “I’ve been talking all year about ‘thewant to,’ and how good

Hornets win easily From staff reports
Salisbury’s baseball team rolled to a 16-8 CCC win against Thomasville at Finch Field on a wild Friday night that ended with four teams tied for first place with 3-1 conference records. “Once we got up 11-1, we just turned it on cruise control and thought we could coast,” Salisbury coach Scott Maddox said. “To Thomasville’s credit, they battled and closed the gap. We just can’t do that if we want to seriously contend for the conference title. You have to play every inning of every game.” Philip Tonseth (3-for-5, four RBIs), Brian Bauk (2-for-4, three RBIs), Kyle Wolfe (2-for-3, three runs), Scott Van der Poel (2-for-2, three runs) and Spencer Carmichael (3-for-3, four RBIs) had big offensive nights for the Hornets (6-4). Clint Veal pitched 52⁄3 i innings and was credited with the win. Thomasville scored five times in the sixth to close the gap some. With Veal pitching, Nathan Foster got his first varsity start behind the plate and performed well. Chance Bowden nailed down the final four outs. See Sunday’s edition for the boxscore. Salisbury welcomes North Rowan to Robertson Stadium this afternoon at 3:30 p.m. NPC frontrunner East Rowan probably set county records and maybe some world records by racking up 60 runs in a doubleheader with last-place Statesville. East won 33-3 in four innings and 27-0 in five. The Mustangs didn’t hit a home run. Their attack was mostly singles and walks. Technically, all the runs weren’t scored on Friday. The opener was the completion of a game suspended by weather. It resumed with the Mustangs leading 13-0. Jared Mathis pitched three no-hit innings in the nightcap. The resume game did not count toward head coach Brian Hightower’s two-game hiatus after he was tossed from Wednesday’s game at Carson. The second game did. Hightower also will have to sit out next week’s home game with North Davidson. Assistant Brian Hatley will guide the Mustangs. If available, the boxscores will appear in Sunday’s edition. They may take up a few pages. Davie rallied from an early deficit to beat Mount Tabor 9-5 for a CPC victory. Alex Newman had two hits. Newman and Connor Bodenhamer drove in two runs apiece.

SALISBURY POST
MASTERS FroM 1B then. Woods is mired in the longest winless streak of his career — 20 tournaments over 17 months — and he’s still dogged by a sex scandal that ended his marriage and tarnished his image. After a sluggish start to the second round, Woods got going with three straight birdies around the turn, a perilous par save at the 11th, then strung together three more birdies through the middle of the back nine. Woods just missed making it four in a row, pushing a slick putt at No. 16 wide of the putt. But he ended with a flourish, knocking his approach from under the trees to within 10 feet of the pin. He rolled that one in and pumped his fist one last time. “Anytime you shoot 66 in a major, it’s going to be good,” Woods said. “I’m very pleased about that. Very pleased.” Rory McIlroy fretted about an errant chip that nearly slid into the water, a few putts that didn’t fall in the cup on the back nine. That’s about it. The shaggy-haired kid put together another strong round, shooting a 69 that left him at 10-under 134 midway through the year’s first major.
SATURDAY, APRIL 9, 2011 • 3B
SPORTS “I drove it good. I gave myself a lot of opportunities. I just didn’t make as many putts as I would’ve liked on the back nine,” McIlroy said. “But I can’t really complain. I’m in the lead going to the weekend at the Masters.” He’s clearly gotten over any bad memories from last year’s British Open, where he opened with a 63 and fell apart the next day in a howling wind to shoot 80. McIlroy went 29 holes before he made his first bogey at the picturesque 12th hole, where his tee shot plopped into a bunker and he couldn’t get up and down. Otherwise, he showed a maturity beyond his years. Among those he will be trying to hold off is Woods, who played in the next-to-last group and got off to a rough start. His very first tee shot found a bunker, leading to bogey. He took another with a weak chip at No. 3, the shortest par-4 on the course. Then another with three putts at the seventh. Then, suddenly, he resembled the Tiger of old. “I just kept staying patient,” Woods said. “That’s all I was trying to do.” McIlroy will be paired in the final group Saturday with one of his playing partners from the first two days, Jason Day.
The 23-year-old Australian is another of golf’s up-andcomers, and he showed no respect for a course he’s playing for the first time this week. Day made eight birdies in the best round of the tournament, a 64 that sent him surging up the leaderboard. He’s only two shots behind McIlroy’s 10-under 134 total. The third member of their group, 22-year-old Californian Rickie Fowler, also was in contention. He posted a 69 — meaning the threesome combined for a 14-under score — and was in a group at 139. “It was fun playing with Rory and Rickie out there,” Day said. “I can’t even remember shooting 8 under. It was just a lot of great golf and I’m looking forward to the weekend.” Of course, this is all new to him. “I’m sure I will be very nervous,” Day said. “I’ll try to relax tonight and just go out there and have fun.” While the focus at this Masters has been on youth, let’s not forget the older guys. Fred Couples, the 1992 champion, was in contention for the second year in a row. Even with a balky back, he strolled around the course as though he owns the place on the way to a 68 that took his score to 139.
“I know the course more than most people,” he said, “and that helps.” The 51-year-old Couples made a serious run at another green jacket last year. He led after the first round and wound up sixth, seven strokes behind winner Phil Mickelson. This time, he opened with a 71 and really turned it on for Day 2, making five birdies and two nifty saves at the end of his round. If Couples can keep it going for two more days — no certainty, given his chronic back problems — he’ll have another shot at becoming the oldest major champion ever. “Can I still win?” Couples mused. “Yeah, I think I can go out there tomorrow and shoot a very good score. Then I’d have to do something crazy on Sunday.” The defending champ has a lot of work to do. Mickelson scrambled for a 70 in the first round despite hitting fewer fairways than anyone in the 99-player field. His erratic play continued Friday, forcing him to spend more time saving pars than chasing birdies. “I left too many chances out there,” he said. “We’ve got the weekend to look forward to, AssociAted press and fortunately, I’m not in that bad of a spot.

Bulls take top seed in East Associated Press
From around the NBA... CLEVELAND — Carlos Boozer had 24 points and 11 rebounds, and the Chicago Bulls clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference with a 93-82 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night. Chicago, which has won six straight and 18 of 20, will have home-court advantage through the first three rounds of the playoffs. The Bulls hadn’t finished with the best record in the East since 199798, the most recent of their six NBA championships in the Michael Jordan era. The Bulls, winners of five in a row and nine of 10 on the road, had six players score in double figures. Ronnie Brewer had 12 points while Derrick Rose added 11 points and eight assists.

From around the NHL... ATLANTA (AP) — Jeff Skinner and Tuomo Ruutu each had a goal and two assists and Carolina beat Atlanta 6-1 to move closer to an Eastern Conference playoff spot. Carolina needs a home win Saturday over Tampa Bay or a regulation loss by the New York Rangers to make the playoffs for the first time since advancing to the Eastern Conference finals in 2009. Erik Cole, Joni Pitkanen, Brandon Sutter and Jussi Jokinen also scored for Carolina. Cam Ward, who shut out Detroit 3-0 on Wednesday night, was just 39 seconds from earning his second straight shutout and the 17th of his career before Bryan Little’s 18th goal made it 6-1. The Hurricanes have won two straight and are 8-1-1 in their last 10 games. They got a big assist Thursday night when the Thrashers beat the Rangers 3-0 in New York. Sabres 4, Flyers 3 (OT) BUFFALO, N.Y. — Thomas Vanek scored 1:16 into overtime to cap a two-goal comeback and the Buffalo Sabres clinched a playoff berth with a 4-3 victory over the slumping Philadelphia Flyers on Friday night. Vanek finished with a goal and two assists, while Nathan Gerbe scored twice, including a highlight reel spin-around goal that tied it midway
through the third period. Jason Pominville also scored for the Sabres, who had already secured a postseason spot by earning a point when the game entered overtime. With the win, they’ve clinched at least seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings. Danny Briere and Scott Hartnell had a goal and assist, and Kris Versteeg also scored for Philadelphia, 0-3-2 in its past five games. The Flyers late-season skid has prevented them from clinching the Atlantic Division title, and they’ve now fallen into a tie with Pittsburgh. With 104 points, both teams have one game left, though the Flyers have the tiebreaker edge on their cross-state rivals. The Flyers loss also allowed Washington to clinch the top spot in the East. Predators 4, Blue Jackets 1 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Patric Hornqvist scored two goals and had an assist, and Nashville clinched its sixth playoff berth in seven seasons with a victory over Columbus. Matt Halischuk and Sergei Kostitsyn also scored to help Nashville extend the NHL’s longest active home winning streak against one team with its 17th straight over Columbus. The Predators will wrap up the regular season Saturday night in St. Louis with a chance to earn the Western Conference’s fourth seed and start

Thunder 104, Nuggets 89 OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Durant scored 28 points, Russell Westbrook added 17 and Oklahoma City beat Denver for their second win this week over a potential first-round playoff opponent. Oklahoma City came in sitting in fourth in the West, with Denver fifth, and should be feeling confident if the teams meet in the postseason next week. Nene had 18 points and nine rebounds, and Danilo Gallinari and Raymond Felton added 17 points apiece for Denver. Knicks 116, Nets 93 NEWARK, N.J. — Carmelo Anthony had 25 points and 14

NEWARK, N.J. — New Jersey Nets point guard Deron Williams is going to have wrist surgery and will miss the final week of the season. The two-time All Star will have bone fragments and scar tissue removed from his right wrist in an operation on Monday, general manager Billy King said Friday before the Nets played the New York Knicks at the Prudential Center. The surgery was originally to take place on Friday but Williams was sent home because of a scheduling conflict, King said. Nets coach Avery Johnson said power forward Kris Humphries, the league’s fifth leading rebounder (10.4), also is going to miss the last four games because of sprained ankle and bruised heel in his right foot. Williams strained his right wrist in January and the Nets were aware of it when they acquired him from the Utah Jazz on Feb. 23 in a multi-player deal. King said the Nets took their own MRI before finalizing the deal, and it showed no ligament damage. The injury did not get better since the trade and the Nets sent Williams to The Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City on Wednesday to be examined by Dr. Andrew Weiland. A “fine-cut MRI” was taken and it disclosed the bone fragments and scarring, King said, noting the injury did not get worse after the trade. It just wasn’t detected until the more advanced MRI was taken, he said. “The doctor told me some of those particles had been there for a while, so you could tell he didn’t do any more damage” King said. King said the surgery would be on an outpatient basis and Williams will be on the golf course and shooting a basketball soon enough. He refused to discuss a timetable. Coach Avery Johnson said Williams was disappointed because he wanted to play against the Knicks. King added the player was surprised by the discovery but eager to get it fixed. “In a way it’s a relief for everybody and from Deron’s point because he didn’t know what was causing the pain,” King said. Williams averaged 15 points and 12.8 assists in a dozen games with the Nets. His last game was memorable. The 26year-old hit a game-winning shot and matched his career high with 21 assists in a win over Minnesota on Tuesday night.
Long career ends for Ramirez Associated Press
NEW YORK — Tampa Bay slugger Manny Ramirez tested positive for a banned substance for the second time and informed Major League Baseball on Friday that he is retiring rather than face a 100game suspension. A person familiar with the events that led to the announcement confirmed to The Associated Press that Ramirez tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the nature of Ramirez’ issue with MLB’s drug policy was not publicly disclosed. The commissioner’s office announced Ramirez’s decision in a statement, but provided few details. Ramirez previously served a 50-game suspension for violating the drug policy while he was with the Los Angeles Dodgers and second-time offenders get double that penalty. “Major League Baseball recently notified Manny Ramirez of an issue under Major League Baseball’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program,” the statement said. “Rather than continue with the process under the Program, Ramirez has informed MLB that he is retiring as an active player. If Ramirez seeks reinstatement in the future, the process under the Drug Program will be completed.” MLB said it would have no further comment. “The Tampa Bay Rays were informed today by the Commissioner’s Office that Manny Ramirez has decided to retire after being informed of an issue under the Drug Program,” the Rays said in a statement. “We are obviously surprised and disappointed by this news. We will have no further comment on this matter, and our fans and organization will carry on.” The 38-year-old outfielderdesignated hitter left the team earlier this week to attend to what the Rays called a family matter. Manager Joe Maddon said Thursday that he expected Ramirez to be available for Friday night’s game at the Chicago White Sox, but he never showed up. Ramirez played in only five games for the Rays, with one hit in 17 at-bats. Rays outfielder Johnny Da-

Manny Ramirez retired on Friday after he tested positive for a banned substance for the second time. mon said he began hearing late Thursday that Ramirez wouldn’t be returning to the team, but he didn’t know the reason. “I am surprised,” Damon said. “This spring he played well.” The 12-time All-Star agreed to a $2 million, one-year contract with the defending AL East champions in the offseason, hoping to re-establish himself as one of the game’s feared hitters. Ramirez struggled with injuries but still hit .298 with nine homers and 42 RBIs in 90 games for the Dodgers and White Sox last season. He’s a career .312 hitter with 555 home runs in 18-plus seasons, including some of his best with the Cleveland Indians and Boston Red Sox. It was after signing with the Dodgers, though, that his reputation was sullied. The erratic Ramirez performed well on the field and became a fan favorite, with “Mannywood” signs popping up around town, and wound up signing a $45 million, two-year contract to remain with the Dodgers. But in May 2009, he was suspended for testing positive for human chorionic go-
nadotropin, a banned female fertility drug that is often used to help mask steroid use. According to a report in the New York Times later that summer, Ramirez also tested positive for performance-enhancing substances during Major League Baseball’s anonymous survey testing in 2003. Ramirez was a member of the Red Sox during that time. “I’m shocked,” said Colorado’s Jason Giambi, who has acknowledged taking steroids during his own career. “He always kind of portrayed that he was out there but he knew how to hit, man. He was unbelievable when it came to hitting.” His retirement comes as baseball, which has been working hard to put its socalled Steroids Era in the past, has another of its great hitters, Barry Bonds, on trial in San Francisco. Bonds is facing federal charges that he lied to a grand jury in 2003 by denying that he willfully used performance-enhancing drugs. The Rays, winless through their first six games, hoped the Manny they signed this season would be the same Manny who was MVP of the
2004 World Series when he was with the Red Sox. “Might have been running out of bullets,” said Phillies manger Charlie Manuel, who worked with Ramirez in Cleveland. “Father Time was catching up to him.” At his best, Ramirez was one of the game’s great hitters, finishing in the top five in MVP voting four times. He led the American League with a .349 batting average in 2002, finished second the following year, and had an AL-best 43 home runs in 2004. At his worst, Ramirez was criticized for his lackadaisical nature, particularly in the outfield. More than once, managers and teammates complained that Ramirez didn’t seem to care about playing defense or wouldn’t hustle down the line after a hit. Still, Giambi said his approach to hitting was never in question. “It was just impressive to watch,” he said. “He always played that he was aloof, but he really knew how to play the game. You could talk hitting with him and his work ethic was pretty unbelievable. He would be in the cage, hitting off breakingball machines and I think that’s a part of him that people didn’t see, that he put his time and effort into hitting.” Damon refused to discuss whether Ramirez’s reputation has been tainted by drug use, instead choosing to focus on his performance on the field. They were teammates on the Red Sox from 2002-05, and together helped the franchise win the 2004 World Series, its first since 1918. “It’s unfortunate,” Damon said. “I don’t know everything that’s been brought up. All I know is he’s a great teammate and a great player.” Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington was more somber in his assessment of Ramirez’s career. “Until the past couple of years, I thought he was on his way to the Hall of Fame,” Washington said. “I don’t think many guys got as many big hits in their careers as he has. There weren’t many guys who had as big an effect on a game as he had.”
Bonds’ jurors hear Anderson Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — The jurors who will decide Barry Bonds’ fate filed back into the courtroom with their first question Friday, and it was one that had to make prosecutors happy. “We request the following,” U.S. District Judge Susan Illston said, reading their note aloud. “The full written transcript of the Steve Hoskins-Greg Anderson digital tape recording from 2003.” In that secretly recorded conversation at the San Francisco Giants ballpark, the slugger’s just-fired business partner and his then-personal trainer discuss steroids, injections and drug testing. Prosecutors used the tape in an attempt to convince jurors that the greatest home-run hitter in major league history had to know he was taking performance-enhancing drugs. That request and another one later, to hear the testimony of Steve Hoskins’ sister, Kathy, were the two moments the jury reached out from its first day of deliberations. Each question involved some of the prosecution’s best evidence against the home run king. The panel worked about seven hours, including lunch and breaks, before adjourning until Monday. Illston refused to give jurors the full transcript of the Hoskins-Anderson tape, because one wasn’t placed in evidence during the trial that began March 21. But she allowed them to rehear the portions of the recording that were first played for them on March 23 and replayed Thursday during the prosecution’s closing. “Everything that I’ve been doing at this point, it’s all un-
detectable,” Anderson said on the tape. “See, the stuff that I have ... we created it. And you can’t, you can’t buy it anywhere. You can’t get it anywhere else.” Anderson, who was sent to prison March 22 because he refused to testify in the Bonds case, was released Friday because the trial was over. Even without taking the witness stand he was a big presence in the courtroom. On the recording, made by Hoskins, Anderson talks of injecting Bonds. Anderson says he doesn’t use one spot, “I move it all over the place” in order to avoid cysts. Both the prosecution and defense played porBONDS tions of the recording during the trial, but only the prosecution showed jurors a transcript that allowed them to follow the often-muffled sounds. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Nedrow handed out transcripts again Friday while the government portion was played back. When the defense portion was replayed, most of the jurors still were looking down at the prosecution transcript. They were not allowed to take the transcript to the jury room. While the prosecution also read along, Bonds and his lawyers focused on the jurors, trying to pick up any signals. The 46-year-old former MVP, dressed in a dark suit, white shirt and striped tie, seemed more fidgety than he had been during the trial. Illston told the jury late Friday that Kathy Hoskins’ testimony will be read back to

them when deliberations resume Monday. Hoskins was Bonds’ personal shopper and claims to have seen Anderson inject him with an unknown substance in the navel in 2002. Bonds is charged with three counts of making false statements to a grand jury in 2003 for denying he knowingly received steroids and human growth hormone from Anderson, and for saying he only allowed doctors to give him injections. He also faces one count of obstruction of justice over those three statements and four others he made to the grand jury that the prosecutors see as misleading or evasive. Jurors have been very attentive in this high-profile case, the culmination of a federal investigation into the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative (BALCO) that began in 2002. BALCO turned out to be the center of a steroids distribution ring, and Anderson was among the participants. Each count against Bonds carries a possible sentence of 10 years in prison, but federal guidelines indicate a recommended total sentence of 15 to 21 months. For similar offenses earlier in the BALCO case, Illston punished two people with home confinement. The foreman of the eightwoman, four-man jury was not announced, but the panel seemed to look to a middleaged man seated in the first row of the jury box for guidance when Illston told them of the Hoskins tape: “The written transcript was not and is not in evidence. The evidence in the case is the digital record, so we can, if that’s what you want, play it again, in open court.” Many jurors quickly nod-
ded and said yes. Two miles away, the Giants — the team Bonds was with when he became one of the most-feared hitters of his time — were playing their home opener at AT&T Park, and Hall of Famer Willie Mays was presenting manager Bruce Bochy with a folded up World Series championship flag. And just as the hearing was ending, Major League Baseball announced Tampa Bay Rays slugger Manny Ramirez was retiring. Ramirez made the decision rather than be suspended for 100 games following a second positive drug test, a person familiar with the events that led to the announcement said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the positive test was not announced. Prosecutors presented just one piece of direct evidence against Bonds, Kathy Hoskins’ eyewitness testimony about Bonds getting the injection at his Bay Area home. But they pointed to much circumstantial evidence. Steve Hoskins said he saw Anderson, who had a syringe with a needle, walk into the master bedroom at Bonds’ spring training home along with the player several times and then lock the door. Former AL MVP Jason Giambi and three other players testified they knowingly received drugs from Anderson. Bonds told the grand jury he used steroids provided by Anderson, but that the trainer told him they were flaxseed oil and arthritis cream. Prosecutors claim that “little lie” that was an attempt to hide the “big lie” that Bonds achieved his season (73) and career (762) home runs records with the help of performance-enhancing drugs.
Labor talks resume Associated Press
From around the NFL... ST. PAUL, Minn. — The locked-out NFL players don’t want to go back to collective bargaining with the league. They have now made a move to allow their former union boss to be present if court-supervised talks take place between the two sides. Attorneys for the NFL and the players held a conference call Friday to discuss mediation with U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson, who is currently deciding whether to lift the lockout. League spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed the call took place and said Nelson wanted details to remain private. Jeffrey Kessler, a lawyer for the players, declined to comment. The most notable development Friday was the formal addition of DeMaurice Smith as an attorney for the players. Smith is the executive director of the NFL Players Association, which is now officially a trade association and not a union. Lawyers who practice in a different state must file for approval through the court. NFLPA spokesman Carl Francis confirmed that the move allows Smith to participate in any mediation sessions that might take place under Nelson’s supervision. After a hearing Wednesday on the players’ request for an injunction to stop the lockout, Nelson urged both sides to resume talks toward a new labor pact. Negotiations broke down last month. • WELLESLEY, Mass. — Erik Ainge glances at his wrists whenever he needs a quick pick-me-up during recovery from his painful past. Tattooed in black ink on the inside of the New York Jets backup quarterback’s left wrist are a series of comforting letters: O.D.A.T., T.T.S.P. and J.F.T. “The first is ‘One Day At A Time,’” Ainge explained while sticking out his left hand. “The others are ‘This Too Shall Pass’ and ‘Just For Today.’” Ainge then showed his right wrist, which has “Romans 3:23” on it — “For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God” — along with the date 4-1-2009, the first time Ainge tried to beat the addictions that nearly killed him. “They’re all true,” he said of the tattoos, “and they help me.” Ainge has been on a tumultuous journey — marked by years of drug and alcohol abuse — that has taken him from high school star in Oregon to big man on campus at
the University of Tennessee and all the way to the NFL as a fifth-round draft pick. But now, he’s here: A recovering drug addict with bipolar disorder and a surgically repaired foot, trying to rebuild his once-shattered life under the roof of his famous uncle, Danny Ainge. “I’m learning how to be a new person,” said Ainge, who recently met with The Associated Press for a day-long interview in the Boston area. “People who only knew me as the old Erik would be like, ‘Who is this person?’” The 24-year-old Ainge told the world exactly who he is in a candid first-person account last week for ESPNNewYork.com, opening the nearly 2,000-word piece with the sentence: “I’m a drug addict.” Ainge spent last season on the Jets’ reserve/did not report list while rehabbing his foot. That came two years after being suspended four games by the NFL for violating the league’s policy on steroids and related substances. In his piece, Ainge detailed his struggle with drugs and alcohol since he was 12. He said he overdosed “several” times and abused prescription medications, cocaine, heroin, marijuana and alcohol. He also revealed he’s dealing with rapid cycling bipolar disorder. “The first reason I did it was for me,” said Ainge, who has been sober for nearly nine months. “It was like a weight lifted off my shoulders to get everything out there. I also wanted to help people.” Ainge gets up at 6:15 each morning, jumps into his burgundy 1999 Yukon Denali — the one he’s had since college with nearly 139,000 miles on it — and picks up his sponsor for their 7 a.m. Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Every day, without fail. “He’s just displayed a willingness to do what it takes to change the person he was, which is huge,” said Ainge’s sponsor, Jay Punch, a 33-yearold resident of Natick. “It doesn’t matter who you are. This disease wants you dead. “The first part I thought I’d have to work with him on was sort of letting go of his prior life and coming to grips with what happened, but that hasn’t been a problem at all.” There are no visible traces of Ainge’s playing days at Tennessee or with the Jets in the guest bedroom at Danny Ainge’s home, which is nestled in the quiet town of Wellesley. The room looks like that of most 24-year-old single guys — with some clothes scattered among DVDs and CDs — except for the soothing pictures of pink roses hung on the wall.

SALISBURY FROM 1B "Yesterday when I was addressing the kids, I told the seniors, 'The only team that has consistently brought it to you, and has taken almost as many as they've given, is this West Davidson squad.' So the girls were ready for it." Presnell started the game in defense -- a move to anticipate Yarboro's mark of her, Parrish said -- but eventually joined the attack. Fifteen minutes in, she lost possession at the top of the West box and ball bounced to Kate Grant, who volleyed from outside the box into the goal's top-right corner for a 1-0 lead.
"The first goal we gave up, I felt like we didn't chall e n g e (Grant) at all, but she hit it and it PRESNELL was a hell of a shot," West (8-5, 1-2) coach Chris Brown said. Four minutes later, Whitney Brown lined up a free kick from left side, about 30 yards from goal, and placed it again in the top-right corner, just past the grasp of West goalkeeper Angena LeBarre. LeBarre stoned Presnell one-on-one just before halftime, but the Hornets retained a 2-0 lead at the break. West looked more lively
after halftime but the Hornets added another in the 52nd minute. Presnell, who will play at Catawba next season, collected the ball on left sideline, cut inside of her mark and hit a rightfooted shot that grazed the underside of the crossbar on its way in. LeBarre denied Presnell a second in the 66th minute when Presnell met Madison Kennedy's low cross from the right with an inventive flick of the heel at the near post. Brown sent Yarboro up top alongside Callie Wynn with 15 minutes to go and the two combined a few times, but Salisbury goalkeeper Olivia Rankin was never terribly troubled. For the most part, Kennedy controlled the game in central midfield.
"We were a lot better second half than we were first half. I don't know if it was because of fatigue from them or we felt a little more comfortable with our marks or what," Brown said. "Their 15 (Kennedy) and 5 (Jenna Bryan), I think 15 is the best player on the field, even though Presnell is more in the attack, 15 works a lot." For the most, however, whenever the freshman Wynn, West's leading scorer, found the ball, she also discovered three or four black shirts around her. "We managed to hold her without a shot, which says a lot for Taylor Slate and Whitney Brown and Susannah Dixon," Parrish said. "It's hard to mark someone when they move laterally as much as they do vertically."
St. John’s Lavin has prostate cancer Associated Press
From around college hoops... NEW YORK — Steve Lavin, who revived St. John’s basketball in his first season with the Red Storm, has prostate cancer but his doctor expects him to keep coaching and make a complete recovery. The 46-year-old Lavin said in a statement Friday he was diagnosed in September and was told he could delay treatment until after the season. He will begin treatment in the coming weeks. The statement did not say how he will treated. “My family feels fortunate that through annual health exams, we detected my condition at an early stage,” Lavin said. “This past fall I didn’t want to distract our team, but with the season behind us, we are now working with medical experts and taking the proper steps to tackle this health challenge head on.” He is under the care of Dr. Jonathan Schiff, a New York urologist. Schiff described Lavin’s condition as a “relatively low-grade cancer,” with treatment to proceed “shortly.”
“I expect a complete cure of Coach Lavin’s condition and we anticipate a seamless continuation of his coaching duties,” Schiff said. The Red Storm went 21-12 and tied for third in the Big East this season. They made the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2002, losing to Gonzaga in the second round. Lavin inherited a roster with 10 seniors. After a rough start, St. John’s won eight of nine with four of the wins over ranked teams. The Red Storm lost three of five to end the season. • LOS ANGELES — UCLA will play most of its home basketball schedule at the Los Angeles Sports Arena next season while Pauley Pavilion is being renovated. The Bruins will play 14 regular season games at the downtown Sports Arena, with four others being played at Honda Center in Anaheim. Their lone exhibition game will be at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario. Among the four games at Honda Center will be the John R. Wooden Classic. But instead of the annual doubleheader involving four teams, UCLA will play Arizona on Jan. 5.
• LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky freshman Enes Kanter said he didn’t know he was doing anything wrong when he and his family accepted excessive benefits while he played for a club basketball team in his native Turkey as a teenager. Kanter, who threw out the first pitch Friday at Kentucky’s baseball game against Auburn, was declared permanently ineligible on Jan. 7 and couldn’t contribute to the Wildcats’ run to the Final Four. The NCAA ruled he accepted $33,033 more than his actual and necessary expenses while playing with the Turkish club Fenerbahce. “I didn’t think I did something bad, you know? I just came here for school, I came here for education,” Kanter said. “When I was in Turkey, I was only 14, 15 or 16 years old. I didn’t know anything. When I was 14, 15 and 16, I didn’t understand what money was. “I would just take money from my dad.” The 6-foot-11, 262-pound center from Istanbul is still taking classes at Kentucky and said he will finish his semester before going to Chicago to prepare for the

NBA draft with trainer Tim Grover. He said he’s eager to play again since he hasn’t played in a real game since last April’s Nike Hoop Summit. Dealing with the NCAA's process was hard, he said, but added that his coaches and teammates encouraged him to continue working toward the NBA. Though he was not eligible to play in games or travel with the team, he was allowed to practice with the team. • PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Rutgers guard Tyree Graham will undergo surgery next week to repair a ruptured right Achilles’ tendon. Scarlet Knights coach Mike Rice announced Friday that Graham was hurt during drills this past week. Graham missed all of last season after undergoing surgery in September to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Rice says Graham will face “an extensive recovery and prolonged rehabilitation” period following his latest surgery. The Durham, N.C., resident hasn’t played for Rutgers since joining them as a junior college transfer last summer.
CARSON FROM 1B teams seem to have ‘the want to.’ When I came up with a man on in the sixth, I knew it was time to shut up and produce.” Hampton said he connected on a belt-high curveball for his second home run of the season. “It was a really good AB,” said Parker. “Before that he fouled a couple pitches over our dugout. He HAMPTON was just waiting for a mistake.” Each team went down quietly in the seventh inning before Carson’s Kyle Bridges legged out an infield hit to open the top of the eighth. Hogan followed with a well-placed bunt toward the right side. When first base was left uncovered, the Cougars had two on with nobody out. Next up w a s Basinger, who became Miller’s fourth hitby-pitch victim. Following a popup, Peeler failed WANSLEY to get down a squeeze bunt and Bridges was tagged out at home by West catcher Steven Crandall, leaving runners at first and second with two away. “I just missed it,” said Peeler, who was no match for Miller’s biting fastball. “I thought I had a better look at it. It was high, breaking away and I just didn’t go with it.” Peeler redeemed himself three pitches later when his smash up the middle was knocked down by West shortstop Hunter Teeter. In the ensuing scamble Hogan scored to give Carson a 3-2 edge. DH Mitch Galloway followed with a screeching liner that caught the left side of Hampton’s neck in center field. As he fell to the ground, momentarily
dazed, two more Carson runners came home. “Yeah, that sent me for a spin,” said Hampton, a tough hombre who was OK after the game. “It was just a routine line drive right at me that I lost in the lights.” Winning pitcher Free (3-3) dug himself a final-inning hole when he yielded a leadoff single to Chandler Jones and walks to Osborne and Miller, loading the bases with none out. West drew within 5-3 on Hampton’s groundout and 5-4 on Ethan Wansley’s Texas League single to left. Hampton was retired trying to reach third base on the hit. The game ended when teammate Justin Evans flew out. “This was one of the strangest games I’ve been in for a while,” Cauble exhaled afterward. “I told them I was proud of them for not quitting when (Hampton) hit the home run.” Camouflaged in the dramatic finish was a terrific start by Peeler. The senior righthander pitched scoreless, two-hit ball for five innings, though he walked four and uncorked a couple of wild pitches. “He was nearing his 100pitch count,” Cauble reported. “And right now his arm is more important than anything else.” • NOTES: Peeler’s ERA dipped to 2.70. Bridges went 2-for-4 and lifted his average to .374. ... West returns to action Tuesday at home against Statesville.

From around the AL... BOSTON — The Red Sox ended their worst losing streak to start a season since World War II as Dustin Pedroia homered and drove in three runs to lift Boston to a 9-6 win over the New York Yankees in the 100th home opener at Fenway Park on Friday. With a full house cheering from the pregame player introductions, the Red Sox pounded 12 hits, three by Pedroia. They started the season on the road by going 0-6 for the first time since beginning the 1945 season at 0-8. They were a popular preseason choice to reach the World Series after adding Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez to support what seemed like a strong rotation. But the struggles of the starters continued when John Lackey (1-1) gave up six runs in five innings. He still got the win when Jarrod Saltalamacchia’s run-scoring double broke off Bartolo Colon (0-1) a 6-6 tie in the fifth.

Mariners honor Niehaus Associated Press SEATTLE — Hall of Fame broadcaster Dave Niehaus was honored by the Seattle Mariners before Friday night’s home opener against Cleveland, the first time in franchise history Niehaus has not called Seattle’s first home game. Niehaus died of a heart attack last November. He had called Diego Segui’s first pitch in franchise history on April 6, 1977, through the end of the 2010 season, all told 5,284 of the Mariners’ 5,385 games. He helped teach the game to a region void of the major league with the exception of the Seattle Pilots’ one-year experiment in 1969. Adults and kids regularly tuned in on summer evenings to hear Niehaus try to put his best spin on what were among the worst teams in baseball during much of the club’s history. Many of them showed up Friday night as the team honored its narrator. “He was the heart, soul and voice of the Mariners,” public address announcer Tom Hutyler told the sold-out crowd as the team began its tribute to Niehaus. Even newcomers seemed to understand Niehaus’ impact. When his image was first shown on the stadium videoboard, new shortstop Brendan Ryan took off his cap and joined in the standing ovation from the rest of the crowd. Seattle rapper Macklemore performed a tribute song to Niehaus on the grass in front of home. That was the precursor to Niehaus’ widow, Marilyn, throwing out the first pitch to AL Cy Young winner Felix Hernandez. With Niehaus’ tag line of “My Oh My” written in dirt behind second base, his grandchildren called out “Play Ball!” before the first pitch. Niehaus was the recipient of the 2008 Ford C. Frick award and was inducted into the broadcasters’ wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Rowand’s single wins it for Giants Associated Press From around the NL... SAN FRANCISCO — Aaron Rowand hit a game-winning single off the left-field wall with the bases loaded in the 12th inning, and the San Francisco Giants celebrated raising the World Series flag with a 54 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday. First baseman Albert Pujols dropped what would have been an inning-ending grounder by Andres Torres with two outs in the 12th. Torres reached on the error and advanced to second on defensive indifference. Brian Tallet (0-1) intentionally walked Freddy Sanchez to load the bases for Rowand, who drove a pitch to deep left-center to cap a festive home opener. Dan Runzler (1-1), the Giants’ eighth pitcher, tossed a 1-2-3 12th for the victory. Nationals 6, Mets 2 NEW YORK — Jordan Zimmermann spoiled the Mets’ 50th home opener with his bat
and arm, hitting a two-run single and pitching the Nationals to a win at chilly Citi Field. Ivan Rodriguez added a tworun single, snapping an 0-for12 skid to start the season, and weary Washington got brilliant work from its bullpen to win its second road game in a row. The Nationals, who took advantage of nine walks by Mets pitching, arrived at their New York hotel about 4 a.m. on Friday following an 11-inning victory Thursday night at Florida. R.A. Dickey (1-1) had trouble controlling his knuckleball and lasted only five innings for New York, which fell to 10-3 in its last 13 home openers and 31-19 overall. Marlins 4, Astros 3 HOUSTON — Chris Coghlan homered and drove in two runs to back a solid outing by Ricky Nolasco, and the Marlins beat the Astros after losing Hanley Ramirez to an injury. Nolasco (1-0) allowed two runs in eight innings to spoil Houston’s home opener. Leo
Nunez allowed two hits, including a homer in the ninth, before pinch runner Jason Bourgeois was caught stealing to end the game and give Nunez his second save. Ramirez left in the seventh with a bruised leg after he was taken out covering second base. Wandy Rodriguez allowed eight hits and one run in seven innings for Houston. Wilton Lopez (0-1) gave up two runs and four hits in the eighth inning for the loss. Braves 6, Phillies 3 ATLANTA — Chipper Jones hit a go-ahead, three-run double in the fourth inning off Cliff Lee as the Braves beat the Phillies in their home opener under Fredi Gonzalez. Jones had two hits, giving him 2,500 for his career. Lee (1-1) couldn’t hold an early 3-0 lead as the Braves scored three runs in the second and then knocked the lefthander out of the game with three in the fourth. Tim Hudson (2-0) spotted
the Phillies three runs before finishing strong. He gave up eight hits and two earned, with no walks in 7 2-3 innings. Craig Kimbrel pitched a perfect ninth for his third save. Cubs 7, Brewers 4 MILWAUKEE — Jeff Baker had four hits and drove in four runs, including his first homer of the season, and Geovany Soto also went deep during a five-run fourth for the Cubs. Carlos Zambrano (1-0) continued his recent string of winning performances against the Brewers at Miller Park. He went six innings, giving up four runs with five strikeouts. Carlos Marmol put two batters on before retiring the side int he ninth for his third save. Prince Fielder hit his first homer of the season for the Brewers, who squandered a chance to climb back to .500 after an ugly 0-4 start. Randy Wolf (0-2) went six innings, giving up nine hits, six runs — two of them earned.

SALISBURY POST
Coaching carousel spins BY MIKE STRANGE Scripps Howard News Service
Like any coaching hire, the jury will be out on Cuonzo Martin for a couple of years. Still, after watching the best seats on the college basketball-coaching carousel fill up, my early impression is that Tennessee did OK. Would Vols fans rather have seen Mark Gottfried or Frank Haith introduced in an orange tie? I think not. Final Four darlings Brad Stevens and Shaka Smart weren’t introduced anywhere. Stevens already had a great job at Butler. Smart turned down at least one major school, probably others, and I believe he also would have rejected Tennessee if offered. He’s staying at Virginia Commonwealth, which doubled his pay (at the least) with a new deal of $1.2 million a year for eight years. Let’s review the carousel: — Tennessee: Mike Hamilton shocked no one with another mid-major hire. There’s not necessarily anything wrong with that. If Martin works out, Hamilton deserves credit for moving swiftly to lock him up in a volatile market where other jobs were more attractive than UT’s current situation. — Arkansas: Give athletic director Jeff Long props. He’s willing to pay big in hopes of big results. He did it for Bobby Petrino in football and now the Razorbacks have upgraded basketball by landing prime target Mike Anderson. Anderson, 51, is a proven commodity with six NCAA tournaments in nine years as a coach at UAB and Missouri. His ties with Arkansas made him the favorite and Long paid $2.2 million a year to pry him away from a good job at Missouri. — Oklahoma: Lon Kruger wasn’t the first choice, but he’s a good one. He does nothing but win. He has led four schools to the NCAA tournament, a combined 13 times. He took Kansas State to the Elite Eight and Florida to the Final Four. He has won big the past seven years at UNLV. The only knock is his age, 58. For what it’s worth, Kruger seems a young 58. Like Arkansas with Anderson, once Oklahoma turned to Kruger it was persistent, finally getting a yes at $2.2 million — double his UNLV deal. — Missouri: Unable to seduce Matt Painter away from Purdue, Mizzou had a surprising Plan B (or was it C or D?) in Haith, who did OK at best in Miami. Haith’s recruiting prowess as an assistant at various schools is more impressive than his W-L chart in seven years at Miami. But Mizzou is a better job and he might rise to the occasion. Tiger fans, though, are wondering why they couldn’t land a more attractive candidate. Haith will make $1.5 million for five years. Martin could have ended up here instead of at Tennessee. — Georgia Tech: Like Missouri, an underwhelming result that might turn out to be a good hire over time. Brian Gregory took Dayton to two NCAA tournaments in eight years and won an NIT. The former Tom Izzo aide signed a six-year deal for $1 million a year. — N.C. State: Sean Miller knew he had a better gig at Arizona. Smart said no thanks. Gregg Marshall preferred Wichita State. So, Gottfried is back in coaching with a $1.2 million package, two years after resigning under fire at Alabama. Gottfried had a strong run in the middle of his 11 years at Bama but tailed off badly at the end. I doubt Tar Heel and Blue Devil fans are trembling. — Texas Tech: What’s not to like about Billy Gillispie back in the Lone Star State? Gillispie proved he’s a good coach at UTEP and Texas A&M. Kentucky was a horrible fit but Texas Tech seems close to perfect.

Billionaire to buy NBA’s Pistons Associated Press DETROIT — The Detroit Pistons announced Friday that billionaire California investor Tom Gores has agreed to buy the struggling NBA franchise, ending a drawn-out sale by longtime owner Karen Davidson that stretched back before the season. The tentative deal, which also includes The Palace of Auburn Hills and DTE Energy Music Theatre, must be approved by the NBA. Terms were not disclosed, but the deal is expected to close by June 30. Gores, the chairman and CEO of Beverly Hills, Calif.based Platinum Equity, also is buying the operating rights to the Meadow Brook Music Festival. Davidson became the owner after her husband died in March 2009. “We are pleased to welcome Tom Gores as the new owner of the Detroit Pistons and Palace Sports and Entertainment,” she said in a statement. “Just as my late husband, Bill Davidson, was the face of the Pistons, I am confident that Tom will bring the same energy, dedication and love to this organization. I look forward to seeing Tom follow in Bill’s footsteps, and carry on his legacy.” Gores founded Platinum Equity in 1995, and in its 2010 list of the 400 richest people in America, Forbes put him in a tie for 153rd with a net worth of $2.4 billion. Gores, 46, is a Flint native and has a degree from Michigan State University, though he now lives in California with his wife and three children. “I am very proud to have this opportunity to be part of such a tremendous organization,” Gores said. “I know it’s been a long process, and I appreciate the patience and support of the Detroit community. I have been impressed with the Davidson family and the way it has protected and built such a storied franchise. “I grew up here, I am glad to be back and I am very excited about all the possibilities looking forward.” The deal apparently has the blessings of the NBA. “We are pleased that Karen Davidson has found a worthy

The Detroit Pistons agreed with California investor Tom Gores on Friday, ending a drawn-out sale successor for ownership of the Pistons and we are looking forward to introducing Tom Gores to the Advisory/Finance Committee at next Thursday’s meeting,” Commissioner David Stern said in an emailed statement. Davidson had hoped to reach a deal to sell the team before the season. The Pistons were negotiating terms with Detroit Tigers and Detroit Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch around that time, but those talks fell apart. Gores was among the other suitors last year, along with The Postolos Group president George Postolos. The Pistons play in suburban Auburn Hills, in Oakland County. County Executive L. Brooks Patterson said it’s a sale with “many complex parts,” referring to the team, The Palace and other entertainment venues. “I wasn’t surprised to see long negotiations,” he said. “I am delighted with Gores’ ownership. He’s made it clear he’s keeping the team in Auburn Hills in Oakland County, and there’s no question where my loyalties are.” Gores’ private equity firm made a popular splash a year ago in the community of Cadillac, 200 miles northwest of De-
troit. Platinum Equity essentially bought the bankrupt Four Winns boat manufacturing company in a move officials said saved or created hundreds of jobs. “I am completely convinced that unless Mr. Gores had bought the company and his particular interest in Michigan that the facility would close down, and they would have moved all their manufacturing out of Michigan,” said Paul Brown, vice president of capital markets for the Michigan Economic Development Corp. The Pistons’ sale, if approved, will end the long and storied ownership of the team by the Davidson family. Spurned in his bids to buy the NFL’s Detroit Lions and NHL’s Red Wings, Bill Davidson became majority owner of the Pistons in 1974. He acquired the team from the late Fred Zollner, the man who founded the team in Fort Wayne, Ind., in the 1940s. The franchise moved to Detroit in 1957. Davidson bought Roundball One for the Pistons, making them one of the first pro sports team with their own airplane. He built a state-of-the-art practice facility for the club and was among the first to put luxury boxes closer to the court
in arenas. The Palace was built for $90 million — all of it Davidson’s money — and won instant acclaim as a sports and entertainment venue when it opened in 1988. The Pistons won three championships when Davidson was the owner, including back-to-back titles in 1989-90. Alan Ostfield, Pistons COO and assistant general manager, said he believed Gores was committed to keeping the team at the Palace. “We’re now in a downward cycle and he’s aware of that,” Ostfield said. “From a non-basketball perspective, he thinks he’s buying a business on the upswing.” Gores, who coaches youth sports and serves on the board of trustees for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, will have a challenge returning the Pistons to prominence. In 2009, Forbes valued the Pistons at $479 million, but that figure was down to $360 million this year. Detroit won the NBA championship in 2004, part of a sixyear streak in which the team reached at least the conference finals, but the Pistons went 27-55 last season and haven’t been any better in 2010-11.
Karlovic thrives at Clay Court titles Associated Press HOUSTON — Qualifier Ivo Karlovic of Croatia boomed 24 aces and ended a 3-hour, 16-minute match with a close line call for a 7-6 (2), 6-7 (2), 7-6 (9) victory over fourth seeded John Isner on Friday in the quarterfinals of the U.S. Men’s Clay Court Championship. The 6-foot-10 Karlovic — the tallest player on the ATP Tour — is accustomed to using his height for a good service advantage, but felt he was looking in a mirror against the 69 Isner, who had 23 aces. “Now I know what it’s like to play me,” Karlovic said. “It’s really not easy. I was trying to stay confident even if he was acing me left and right. I tried to stay calm and in the end, I don’t know what to say, I was a little luckier. It was a close match.” Isner, who played a match that
lasted more than 11 hours against Nicolas Mahut at Wimbledon last year, played a later doubles match. Top seeded Mardy Fish faced Kei Nishikori of Japan later in another quarterfinal match. Tied at 9-9 in the final tiebreaker, Karlovic slammed home his final ace and ended it with a forehand drive that clipped the line. Isner looked hopeful that the shot was out but the ruling stood. “I knew it was in because I saw it skid,” Karlovic said. The match was that close throughout. There were only two service breaks in the match and those were back to back in the 11th and 12th games of the second set to force the second tiebreaker. Karlovic, the 2007 champion, missed much of last season following Achilles’ tendon surgery. He has played six matches in seven days, including three qualifying matches and three in the main
draw. Karlovic sympathized with Isner, a one-time doubles partner. “It’s not easy to lose like this,” Karlovic said. “It’s all about one point here and there but it was a good match and I wish him all the best in the coming weeks.” Ryan Sweeting of the United States, gained his first career semifinal with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-1 victory over Teymuraz Gabashivili of Russia. Sweeting, who earlier upset No. 2 seed Sam Querrey, had to overcome a slow start. “It’s a tremendous goal to get to the semifinals, it’s my first one,” Sweeting said. “I tried not to let the pressure get to me on the court and stayed calm and focused and I think that’s a sign of maturing a little. “Usually, I would panic a little closing out the match. Now, I also want my first final and my first win.”
UConn Murderer sentenced to 2 1/2 years Associated Press

Hakim Muhammed was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison.
VERNON, Conn. — A man who stabbed a University of Connecticut football player during a fight in which another player was killed was sentenced Friday to 21/2 years in prison after apologizing for what he called “senseless violence.” Hakim Muhammad, 22, of Bloomfield was sentenced in Rockville Superior Court after pleading guilty to second-degree assault and hindering prosecution. He will serve 21/2 years of special parole after the prison time. Muhammad apologized for stabbing UConn player Brian Parker during an October 2009 fight on the Storrs campus. Parker suffered a minor stab wound in the back. Parker’s teammate, Jasper Howard, was fatally stabbed in the ab-
domen by Muhammad’s friend, John Lomax III, who was sentenced last month to 18 years in prison for manslaughter. Police say the fight was sparked by disparaging comments Parker made about a woman at a schoolsponsored dance. “I understand that there was a life lost due to this senseless violence,” Muhammad said while apologizing before Judge Terence A. Sullivan, who called the plea deal fair. Prosecutor Matthew Gedansky said he agreed to the 21/2-year sentence because Muhammad, unlike Lomax, took responsibility for what he did, and Parker’s wound was minor. Gedansky also cited Muhammad’s cooperation with prosecutors. His lawyer, Gerald Klein said Mohammad, who has no previous crim-
inal record, pleaded guilty to exactly what he did and took full responsibility for his actions. “When you stab someone in the back, there has to be some criminal consequences,” he said. Klein said with the 13 months he has already served, he expects Muhammad to be released from prison either late this year or early in 2012. About 350 people attended the dance the night Parker and Howard were stabbed. After a fire alarm was pulled, the crowd spilled outside. Witnesses told police, according to an arrest warrant affidavit, that a group including Howard and a group including Lomax and another defendant, Johnny Hood, confronted one another outside the Student Union and punches were thrown.
Without a basketball being dribbled, the great pendulum of superiority in the ACC swung back toward North Carolina this week. Kyrie Irving is leaving Duke for the NBA. UNC’s Tyler Zeller and John Henson are staying in college. Harrison Barnes still has yet to make a decision about his future as a Tar Heel, but it’s almost immaterial at this point. Duke loses its three best players. North Carolina could have back all of its best players and is losing one at most. If the Blue Devils entered last season, on paper, clearly ahead of the rest of the ACC, it’s the Tar Heels’ turn this season. It has been a crazy few years for that big ol’ pendulum, veering from one extreme (North Carolina in 2009) to the other (Duke in 2010) and, most recently, back and forth all season long. This week, it moved strongly in the direction of Chapel Hill and figures to stay there for a while. With Irving, Henson and Zeller settling their futures one way or the other, only Barnes remains undecided. With him, North Carolina probably begins this fall as the No. 1 team in the country. Without him, the Tar Heels won’t be far off. The closest ACC challengers to Duke and North Carolina this past season Clemson, Florida State and Virginia Tech — lose absolutely crucial players. No one else in the pack looks ready to step forward and contend, particularly if Jordan Williams leaves Maryland for the NBA. So that leaves North Carolina and Duke. Again. Duke with Irving would have been capable of going head-to-head with North Carolina. Duke without Irving has some work to do. Irving admitted Thursday that he thought about how good Duke would be if he were to return. The Blue Devils lose Nolan Smith and Kyle Singler to graduation anyway, but they add the country’s consensus No. 1 recruit, guard Austin Rivers. Seth Curry, Andre Dawkins, Ryan Kelly and both the Plumlee brothers return. The only notable hole is at point guard. Sophomore Tyler Thornton and freshman Quinn Cook will have to hold down that position instead of Irving, who would have entered the season as perhaps the top college player. “This year’s team was really special,” Irving said Thursday. “Next year’s team would be really special if I were to return. ... It would give me a chance to lead a team, similar to Kemba Walker at UConn. I’d be the go-to guy and the leader on the team if I were to return. I think it would be a really special team.” That won’t happen, and instead, the team with the best chance to be really special is a few miles down the road, where the Tar Heels enter the season way ahead of the rest of the ACC. No matter what Barnes decides, the Tar Heels are in great shape. If Irving had stayed, the landscape of the ACC would have been drastically different, but he didn’t. Not even that toe injury could keep him from being a lottery pick. If Henson and Zeller had left, the landscape of the ACC would have been drastically different, but they didn’t. What emerged as one of the best frontcourts in the country this past season will enter next season as the best, without a doubt. It’s the Tar Heels’ league to lose now. The pendulum points to them, and no one else.

Edwards gets 30th victory Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas — Carl Edwards knew Kyle Busch was charging hard. What he almost didn’t see was the car that would change the Nationwide race at Texas Motor Speedway. Edwards and Busch were running 1-2 on lap 88 when Tim Schendel’s car blew a right front tire and shot up the track, basically splitting the front-runners. He barely scraped the back of Edwards’ car, but was right in front of Busch, who had nowhere to go and hit him full force. “Just sheer luck of timing, the car ended up missing us and caught him instead,” Edwards said. “Out of the corner of my eye, I thought I saw that car turn. ... I’m glad that I caught it. A split second later, it would have been over.” Edwards went on to lead 169 of 200 laps and win his second consecutive Nationwide race at the 11/2-mile, high-banked track. It was his
30th Nationwide victory, the 15th NASCAR victory for car owner Jack Roush at Texas, and the first NASCAR win for a Ford Mustang. The polesitter never dropped below third place and won by 0.482 seconds over Brad Keselowski. Schendel was nine laps down and last among the 35 cars still running when he took out Busch, who had won the last two Nationwide races this season, and three of the last four. “It didn’t happen that fast, but there was no time to react. You can’t just stomp on the brakes and turn left, you’re already maxed out with your tires,” Busch said. “It’s real unfortunate, these guys did a great job working all weekend to get the car capable of running with Carl there. ... It’s going to go down as a wreck, but I felt like we were fast enough to win.” Before being the runnerup behind Edwards last fall, Busch had won five consecutive Nationwide races at the
11/2-mile, high-banked track. This was the first time in his 13 Nationwide starts at Texas that he didn’t finish, and had been out of the top seven only once before. Had that not happened, Edwards figured it would have been another exciting race between the two to the checkered flag. He would have preferred that. “He would have been a really, really tough challenge,” said Edwards, who twice already this season has finished second to Busch. “We were well-matched, and thought we’d run real hard. He was right behind me.” With Busch out, Edward mostly dominated. Keselowski took the lead from Edwards on the lap 94, the restart after the accident that took out Busch. That lasted only 16 laps before Edwards went back ahead until going into the pits with a nearly 11-second lead with 20 laps to go. Edwards led more laps Friday night than he had in

Carl Edwards makes a pit stop during what would be his 30th Nationwide victory and the 15th NASCAR victory for car owner Jack Roush. his previous 12 Nationwide starts in Texas, when he led only 70 laps. That includes 59 laps last November. He was the runner-up to Busch in the 2008 fall race. Busch has led a staggering 1,187 laps in Texas.
“I felt like there was an opportunity for us to win. I’m not going to say we were the winning car, Carl is definitely the winning car. We were making ground on him to where we could get there and at least run with him,” Busch
said. “We probably could have put on a really good show with the fans out here in Texas.” Paul Menard finished third, with Joey Logano and Elliott Sadler rounding out the top five.
Hamlin looking for another turning point in Texas Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas — Denny Hamlin is hoping for another turning point in Texas since the anticipated trip to another one of his best tracks only brought more bad luck. Hamlin goes for his third consecutive win at the 11/2mile, high-banked Texas Motor Speedway on Saturday night. An untimely caution at Martinsville last week took him from the front of the pack to a lap down and a 12th-place finish, ending his three-race winning streak at the halfmile, paperclip-shaped track in his home state of Virginia. “For me, the panic level is not that high, but it is creeping there because ultimately it’s not about the number of points that you’re behind 10th at this point, it’s how many guys separate you from that,”
said Hamlin, who is 19th in points. “In my head, I know that we’re going to run well.” Last April, Hamlin limped into Texas following surgery to repair the torn ACL in his left knee. He won the race, and later called it the “turning point” in his season when he finished a career-best second in points and doubled his victory total from eight to 16. Hamlin said his No. 11 Toyota has plenty of speed, but has been hampered by fuel mileage and some pit issues that can also be corrected. “It’s not like we’re going out and we’re scratching our heads and we don’t have the speed,” he said. “Things look worse in results than what we’re actually performing on the race track.” Another reason for optimism is that Kyle Busch, his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate,
is the points leader and has led at least 151 laps in each of the last three races. Busch has a win and three other top-three finishes through six races. “We’re under the same roof, and I have those same race cars,” Hamlin said. “His pit crew has been phenomenal and all that stuff, and it makes it look so good on the race track when you can have those solid stops. That’s something that we’ve struggled with, our inconsistency, and obviously fuel mileage. ... Those couple of little small details is what makes us look so far apart.” The only driver with three Cup victories at Texas Motor Speedway is Carl Edwards, second in points behind Busch heading into the first night race of this season — and the first ever under the big, bright stars in the Lone Star
State. Kevin Harvick, who has finished top 10 in half of his 16 Texas starts, is coming off consecutive wins this season. That has given him some leeway under NASCAR’s new qualifying standards for the 12-drive Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, and could eventually change his approach over the next 20 races until the Chase. Two wildcards will be given to drivers with the most wins not ranked in the top 10, and two wins would have been enough last year. “I don’t think we will race any different when we are at the race track because we are here to win races and get the best finish that you can,” Harvick said. ‘But I think as a team it does allow you to plan and think of things you want to try, cars you want to build
Maybe six or seven weeks down the road it could possibly change something.” Harvick passed Dale Earnhardt Jr. with four laps remaining at Martinsville, extending the winless streak for NASCAR’s most popular driver to 99 consecutive races since June 2008. Earnhardt got his first Sprint Cup and Nationwide victories at Texas, where he has led 446 laps in his 17 starts. “I really don’t know how close we are to getting our first win. In that race last week, we were about a fifth to seventh place car and we made some good pit calls near the last half of the race to get ourselves in position,” Earnhardt said. “We still have a step or two to go, but we’re getting better and we feel pretty competitive every
week.” Hamlin started fifth and led 89 laps at Martinsville. Because of the poor fuel mileage, he had to pit a few laps before the rest of the lead group before a caution flag came out only a few laps later. Before getting caught up in a late wreck at Daytona, Hamlin was running third. He finished seventh at Las Vegas after starting at the back of the field because of an engine change. “I feel like I’ve had racewinning cars a couple of times this year,” Hamlin said. “I believe that here in the next three races, we’re going to be inside the top 15 in points. After that, we’re going to keep marching our way back to the top 10. ... I honestly believe we’re going to be in the top 10 here in the next seven, eight weeks.”
Gordon puts crashes behind him Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas — Jeff Gordon prefers to talk about what happened at Texas last year before his two raceending crashes and the backstretch brawl with Jeff Burton. “I put it behind us really,” Gordon said Friday. “We certainly want to put more focus on the good run that we had earlier last year. Felt like we had a car that could win. We want to try to recreate that again this time.” Gordon had led six times for a race-high 124 laps last April at the high-banked 11/2mile Texas Motor Speedway and was trying to get back to the front late before getting caught up in a spectacular nine-car wreck that took him out the race. Then in November, Burton sent Gordon’s car crashing into an outside wall during a caution period.
An angry Gordon walked from the top to the bottom of the track and with both hands pushed Burton hard before taking some swings. The two were separated by NASCAR safety officials. Burton took full responsibility for the accident — “100 percent, it was my fault,” he said — and had no problem with what Gordon did. The two then rode in the same ambulance to the infield care center. In April, Stewart got loose in a pack and made contact with Gordon, leading to the big wreck. When Gordon got out of his mangled No. 24 Chevrolet, he walked directly to Stewart, who was only halfway out of his car, still sitting on the door frame. Stewart put his hand on Gordon’s shoulder and they then walked away toward the pits together. Stewart took full responsibility for that acci-
dent. There has been plenty of tough luck at Texas for Gordon, who has two last-place finishes there to go along with nine top 10s. He won the spring race in 2004. Gordon qualified 32nd for Saturday night’s race at Texas, which will be the 21st Sprint Cup race at the track but the first at night. And the altered schedule could have had an impact on that poor showing. “It’s caught us off guard for sure. We made a little bit of a mistake and focused too much on the race setup (Thursday) and didn’t make a qualifying run and it hurt us because we couldn’t get the lap in to get our draw or running order position for qualifying,” Gordon said. “We won’t really know until we get through the race on the rest of it because we’ve not been on the track in the same conditions that we’re going to be racing.”

Local minister makes a spiritual journey BY KATIE SCARVEY kscarvey@salisburypost.com
hen the Rev. Phil Hagen went to the Holy Land recently, it was a pilgrimage, not a tour, he says. The difference? A pilgrimage is a slower-paced exploration, one allowing time for reflection. Instead of simply seeing one holy site after another, Hagen and his fellow pilgrims had opportunities to pray at the sites as well as have worship and communion. Hagen has been pastor at Unity Presbyterian Church in Woodleaf for almost two years. The trip started out at Haifa, in Mt. Carmel, where the prophet Elijah is said to have challenged the prophets of Ba’al. Hagen also visited Tabgha and Capernaum, where the feeding of A tomb that has been identified as the five thousand happened, as the possible tomb of Jesus. referenced in Mark 8.

A site known as the Mount of Transfiguration is linked to the Transfiguration of Jesus. Hagen feels that one important thing he got from the trip is perspective. Seeing places where Jesus walked, and where his ministry occurred, and seeing how close together everything is made an impression on Hagen. At its widest point, Israel is only about 90 miles wide and perhaps 200 miles long, he said. He was struck by how gracious and helping people were. “People went so much out of their way to help us,” he explained. The pilgrimage helped to strengthen him as a person, he says, and not just a minister in a church. Hagen took the two-week trip in March as part of a program at Columbia Theological Seminary in Atlanta. It was the culmination of the Certificate in Spiritual Formation program. The focus of the program is on personal and group faith development, Hagen says. “The hope is after you get certified, you’ll be able to facilitate Sunday school classes (and) retreats,” he says. The idea is to help people grow in their faith, he says, and to connect heart, mind and soul. He finished the pilgrimage with a sense of how important it is to be connected. “It’s easy in the United States to be disconnected to the rest of the world,” he says. But the world is a lot smaller

than we think it is, he says, and “it’s the connectedness of people that matters” — and not just to technology or our wallets. Jesus, he says, charged us to love our neighbors as ourselves, and that applies even when our neighbors are half a world away, he says. We need to “speak with and not over” others, he says. “It’s important for Americans to be connected to the world and show love.” The cave where the Dead Sea Scrolls were

The World is Not a Stage
Be especially careful when you are trying to be good so that you don’t make a performance out of it. It might be good theater, but the God who made you won’t be applauding.
When you do something for someone else, don’t call attention to yourself.
You’ve seen them in action, I’m sure — “playactors” I call them — treating prayer meeting and street corner alike as a stage, acting compassionate as long as someone is watching, playing to the crowds. They get applause, true, but that’s all they get.
When you help someone out, don’t think about how it looks. Just do it — quietly and unobtrusively. That is the way your God, who conceived you in love, working behind the scenes, helps you out. Matthew 6:1-4 (THE MESSAGE)

Embracing the changes God brings into your life Plans include removing one dying tree and planting a new one. We want to get more daylilies, a new butterfly bush, and we hope to create a shade garden. There always seems to be something in a pot waiting for a new home. People share things with us and we in turn share things with others. God has been talking to me about this process of change. I quickly explained to him that no one really likes to change. Change is often difficult and unwelcome. But God showed me, through my own yard, that change can be a good thing. In fact, he said that our spiritual lives should always be in a state of change, just as my yard is. As we grow and mature, we may need some trimming. Pruning, my wife has taught me, spurs new and stronger growth, often leading to a better plant. Spiritual pruning can also bring new and stronger spiritual growth. Sometimes God may need to move us to a new location — even if we don’t want to go. My wife and I have moved a number of times in our lives. Often after we get settled, we find we like our new home. We grow into our new spot. I have been a part of some wonderful churches in my life and would have missed some great friendships if I
wasn’t willing to move. Sometimes God will bring some change into our lives that will require some hard work. Walking with God is not easy. God wants to change us so we will be more like Christ. There are many parts of my life that are not exactly Christ-like. It is God’s desire for me to change those areas. While it would be nice
if God touched me and instantly made those changes for me, often that is not his method. The Bible teaches that we have to work out our salvation. Some of the changes God brings to our attention will require us to change our attitudes and behaviors. When I see God coming to me with change on his mind,
I’ll confess I often run in the opposite direction. God patiently waits for me to come back. God is trying to help me see that change can be beautiful. When I look at my yard and see all the beauty we have worked to create, I am glad we did the work. Were the changes easy? No. But in the end they were right. Spiritual changes are
no easier, but if we trust God, they will be beautiful too. I want to encourage you to embrace the changes God wants for you. God is going to be there as you change. Your job is to take trust him. If we will choose to walk with him, he will make something beautiful of our lives. Doug Creamer’s website is www.dougcreamer.com
Easter Coloring Contest
My wife and I enjoy working in our yard. This spring we have been spending a great deal of time enlarging flower beds and moving plants and shrubs around. Some of the shrubs had outgrown their spots and needed DOUG CREAMER more space. For some of the plants it was time for a change because we wanted a different look. Gardening is all about change. You have to be willing to move plants around. Some plants require that you dig them up from time to time to divide them. These plants multiply, and if you don’t divide them they lose their beauty. The other exciting thing for us is that we now have some new places for some new plants and shrubs. Gardening is about experimenting with something new and seeing how you like it. Recently we added something to our landscape that we are now working diligently to remove because it was too invasive. Gardening is a learning process. A true garden should always be changing. Soon we will be heading to the garden centers to find new additions for our yard.

‘The King’s Speech’ prompts questions on stuttering Dear Dr. Gott: “The King’s Speech” movie has everyone talking about stuttering. We at The Stuttering Foundation are seeing a four-fold increase in inquiries. So are therapists. Please consider answering the simple question, “What is stuttering?” for the benefit of your readers. Our website, www.StutteringHelp.org, has a trove of helpful materials and can make referrals. President Jane Fraser can offer thoughts and advice. I’ve searched your site and did not see any information on stuttering. Thank you. Dear Reader: I have not written about stuttering since 2009. Stuttering, sometimes known as stammering, is a communication disorder. It is characterized by repetition, prolongation or abnormal stoppages in the flow of DR. PETER the speech. It can also be asGOTT sociated with unusual facial or body movements that occur when having difficulty speaking. Stuttering is not a sign of reduced mental capacity or intelligence. Stuttering affects about 68 million people worldwide. There are more than 3 million sufferers in the United States. Men are affected four times more frequently than women. About 5 percent of all children will experience stuttering that lasts for six or more months. Of that, nearly 4 percent resolve by late childhood. The remaining 1 percent will have long-term problems.
About 60 percent of those who stutter have another family member who also does, suggesting a genetic cause. Children with other speech and language problems or developmental delays are more likely to develop a stutter than other children. Families with high expectations and fastpaced lifestyles can also contribute to stuttering. Recent research has also shown that those who stutter process speech and language slightly differently than those with otherwise normal speech. Stuttering may also be the result of a combination of factors, and the cause may not be the same for everyone. It’s likely that the starting cause is different from the cause of prolonged or worsening stuttering. Emotional and psychological problems are no more likely in those who stutter than those who don’t, so they are not believed to be a cause. Stuttering is treatable and gaining near-normal or normal fluency takes time. There is no cure. In general, results are better and appear faster the earlier treatment is begun. For very young children, this may even prevent developmental stuttering from becoming a lifelong issue. Treatment can vary from person to person and between children, teens and adults. Speech therapists and pathologists are often the first and best option for treatment. They can tailor care and find the therapies that work best for each person. There is no approved medication for stuttering, but some drugs, such as those for depression, epilepsy and anx-
iety, have been used; however, studies have concluded that they are largely ineffective. Clinical trials using other medications are currently being conducted. There are several types of electronic devices; however, they do not work for everyone. Long-term effectiveness is not known, and real-world effectiveness is questionable. A final option is self-help groups. Many sufferers have found that therapy and selfhelp/study help are the most beneficial. Self-help groups also act as a support system where people can come together and learn from each other, find new information, and develop mutual friendships with others who understand the daily stresses, difficulties and challenges of dealing with stuttering. Support groups in general can be extremely helpful to sufferers of any disorder, regardless of what it may be. Readers interested in learning more can visit The Stuttering Foundation’s website or call for free informational brochures and a nationwide referral list of speech pathologists at (800) 992-9392. You can also visit the stuttering information page on the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (a part of the National Institutes of Health) website at www.nidcd.nih .gov/health/voice/stutter.html or by calling the NIDCD Information Clearinghouse at 800-241-1044.

From a new-suit bid to a new-suit jump BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
Sydney Smith, a highly regarded English preacher and author who died in 1845, said, “To do anything in this world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in, and scramble through as well as we can.” That is a good attitude for a bridge player. And in yesterday’s column, we learned that if you make a takeout double at the one-level, your partner advances in a suit without a jump, and you rebid in a new suit, you show 1820 points. Carrying this to the next logical step, if you jumprebid in a new suit, you must have 21-23 points and at least a six-card suit — as in this deal. After you jump to three diamonds, the North hand is suddenly worth game. He
DENTURES
takes time off to cue-bid three spades, in case you can continue with three notrump. But when you deny a spade stopper, North leaps to five diamonds. No beating around Sydney or the outback! The play is an echo of yesterday’s, but with a different solution. West leads the spade two, bottom from three low, since he did not support his partner’s suit. East takes two tricks in the suit and continues with a third round. After you ruff, how would you continue? You must play the trump suit for no losers. The “normal” play is to cash the king and ace. But here there are only 13 high-card points missing. Surely East has the diamond queen. You should play a diamond to dummy’s king, then lead low to your jack on the way back.

A unique development that would put you on a promising trail that offers many exciting, new opportunities could present itself in the next year. The route is likely to be discovered initially by a close friend. Aries (March 21-April 19) — It might take a bit of ingenuity on your part, but you can acquire something you’ve wanted for a long time. Go after it, you’ll get it. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Make sure you are a good listener regardless of who is doing the talking. There’s a possibility that you could pick up on valuable information that would go right over the heads of others. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — You’re lucky right now, especially in situations where you have an opportunity to add to your resources or earnings. Be on your toes, even when involved with someone dull as dishwater. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Get together socially with someone with whom you’ve been unable to iron out an uncomfortable development. Things can be worked out under more convivial surroundings. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — If everything is proceeding quietly and smoothly, leave well enough alone. Regardless of what the situation is, things will have a way of working out to your ultimate advantage. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Your feelings of being lucky are justifiable. Someone who thinks the world of you will be working on your behalf, helping you handle something that you can’t do on your own. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Do everything you can to better your lot in life, because it’s one of those days when the harder you try, the luckier you’ll get. You can move yourself forward quite a bit. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — It is a better than average day for advancing a personal interest, so don’t waste it. Promote something large in scale that can benefit others as well as you. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Important information that previously has been denied you might be disclosed if you have something to give in exchange. Offer terms and conditions that others can comprehend and use. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Someone who hasn’t been too cooperative in the past might suddenly become a strong ally. It will be due to a new, emerging interest that turns out to be in harmony with yours. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If you are presently on a roll as far as fulfilling your ambitions goes, don’t alter your course or slack off in any way. Even a little change could turn out to be an impediment. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — A pleasant surprise could be in store for you that will be more pleasing than usual. There’s a good chance it will develop through one of your favorite social contacts. Trying to patch up a broken romance?

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER Active weather will continue in the West due to an unseasonably cold low pressure system that will move through the Southwest and into the Great Basin. This storm will retain much of its moisture as it moves eastward, thus widespread rain and high elevation snow from Southern California through Colorado. This will trigger late season Winter Storm Warnings due to the expected several inches of new snow. Another storm will move out of the Rockies and into the Plains. This storm will renew rain in the Dakotas and Upper Midwest, hastening the snow melt in an area that was hit particularly hard this past Winter. Widespread flooding is expected throughout this Spring along the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers and residents should monitor local river levels. Meanwhile, a high pressure system over the Southeast will keep dry conditions in the area. Much of the middle part of the country will experience windy conditions due to the dual storm systems moving through the West. The Northeast will rise into the 40s and 50s, while the Southeast will see temperatures in the 80s and 90s. The Southern Plains will rise into the 80s and 90s, while the Northwest will see temperatures in the 40s and 50s.

Home-related injuries result in nearly 20,000 deaths and 21 million medical visits every year, according to the Home Safety Council (HSC). The top three culprits include falls, poisonings, and fires and burns. Since we know these leading injury causes, we should be able to avoid them - right? Unfortunately, that’s not the case. A recent HSC survey showed that while 92 percent of homeowners think about home safety often, only onethird were able to name a precaution they had actually taken at home.

And, to motivate you to install these products - not just think about it - each grab bar includes Moen Home Care’s patented SecureMount Anchors to quickly, easily and securely install the grab bars in just minutes.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS Wholesale businesses boosted inventories for the 14th consecutive month but sold fewer cars, furniture and petroleum products in February. Sales at the wholesale level slipped 0.8 percent in February, the first setback since June 2010, the Commerce Department reported Friday. Inventories rose 1 percent and have been rising for more than a year. The string of inventory gains pushed them to $438 billion, up 13.4 percent from the low reached in September 2009. Rising demand for corn from ethanol producers is pushing U.S. reserves to the lowest point in 15 years, a trend that could lead to higher grain and food prices this year. The Agriculture Department on Friday left its estimate for corn reserves unchanged from the previous month. The reserves are projected to fall to 675 million bushels , the lowest surplus level since 1996. Johnson & Johnson has agreed to pay $70 million to settle civil and criminal charges of bribing doctors in Europe and paying kickbacks to the Iraqi government to illegally obtain business. The Securities and
Exchange Commission said the company settled the charges with the agency and the Justice Department without admitting or denying guilt. Toyota Motor Corp. said it will suspend production at its North American plants in a series of one-day shutdowns this month as a result of parts shortages caused by the earthquake that hit Japan. The temporary shutdowns will affect 25,000 workers, but there will be no layoffs, the world’s No. 1 automaker said. Two major U.S. airlines are again raising round-trip ticket prices by $10 on some domestic routes as they try to counter rising fuel costs. US Airways initiated the fare increase and Delta Air Lines later followed. JetBlue and Virgin America have already matched the increase, an airline analyst said. The government is imposing significant conditions on Google Inc. before allowing the Internet search leader to proceed with its $700 million purchase of airline fare tracker ITA Software, which powers the reservation systems of most major U.S. airlines and many popular online fare-comparison services.
