Motorcycle rider killed in collision with trailer

BOMBS, BULLETS AND HISTORY Exhibit shows Civil War’s reach in Rowan

BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

SALISBURY — A motorcyclist was killed Sunday evening when she collided with a trailer on Sherrills Ford Road. A N.C. State Highway Patrol Trooper said William Montgomery Sr., 39, of 156 Fairfield Road, Mocksville, was backing a white Ford Expedition towing a car into the driveway at 4905 Sherrills Ford Road, when the collision occurred about 8 p.m. A witness at the scene said the trailer was carrying a car that was being delivered to that address. The motorcyclist, whose name has not yet been disclosed as authorities are working to notify family members about the death, was traveling east on Sherrills Ford Road. A section of the road in the 4900 block was blocked for several hours as troopers investigated. Trooper M.T. Eason is handling the case. It was unclear whether charges will be filed. Joe Edward Doby, 61, of 383 Becktown Road, Mocksville, was killed in a similar incident in November. Doby was driving a minivan that ran into the side of a tractor-trailer on U.S. 601. James Melvin Vermillion, 45, of 4375 U.S. 601 was backing the truck into the driveway of his home and trailer was crossways on the highway. Vermillion was charged with misdemeanor death by vehicle.

n April, 1865 — just three days after Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant on the steps of the Appomattox Court House — fighting finally reached Rowan County. Maj. Gen. George Stoneman led his cavalry to Rowan County and raided Confederate supplies in what is now known as the Battle of Grant’s Creek. It was four years after the start of the Civil War, almost to the day, that Stoneman raided and captured Salisbury, and only one of many moments during the war captured by the Rowan Museum in their new exhibit on the Civil War in Rowan County. Terry Holt, exhibits chair and member of the museum board of directors, said the museum decided to host a set of Civil War exhibits because this month marks the 150th anniversary of the start of the war. A recitation of events and interesting facts about the Civil War in Rowan County are on display in the front exhibit room of the old historic courthouse. In the back entrance room, the museum has a general accounting of the Civil War, including a bust of Lincoln and a timeline of events. Holt said Rowan County has an interesting involvement in the history of the Civil War. Aside from the known events — the Confederate Prison, Stoneman’s Raid and Dr. Joseph Hall’s participation during the war — there are several not-so-well-known histories told. Col. Charles Fisher, the first officer killed during the Civil War and father of writer Christian Reid, was from Rowan County. The Salisbury Arsenal, now Chandler Concrete, provided cannon balls, bullets and more for soldiers during the war. There is an accounting of the Female Raid of 1863, in which about 50 women, only described as mothers and wives of Confederate soldiers, raided local mercantiles, demanding fair prices for products. And items from the war are on display, from rifles and boots to canes and pages from a diary kept by a prison soldier. Holt said many local people donated items and time to help

Programs for seniors, poor likely targets of federal cuts

Steve Wise from Kannapolis used his collection of Civil War soldiers and equipment to set up this diorama of the Civil War. it is part of the rowan Museum's new Civil War exhibit.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Obama will lay out new plans this week to reduce the federal deficit in part by seeking cuts to government programs for seniors and the poor, a top political adviser said Sunday, adding that Americans expect both sides to work together. “You’re going to have to look at Medicare and Medicaid and see what kind of savings you can get,” Obama adviser David Plouffe said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” The presidential speech on Wednesday will come during a week in which official Washington pivots from a painful standoff over this year’s budget to next year’s and beyond, focusing on competing plans to shore up the nation’s fiscal health in the long term. At the top of the week, congressional aides are expected to put to paper the 2011 spending deal struck Friday

He says he has no worries about the wartime job because he’ll be with soldiers he has complete trust in. The toughest thing for Tim is leaving Mo behind. She continues to battle a blood and bone marrow disease — MPD, for short — that doctors have said will eventually claim her life. Mo deflects any concerns about herself — the progression of the disease varies considerably from person to person — and says she has a great support system at home with her friends and military family. “We definitely do not want Tim worrying about anything here,” she says. “He needs to go — for Today’s forecast 88º/54º Partly cloudy, mostly warm

A mountain girl, she considers herself an avid snake hunter, having milked the venom of rattlesnakes and copperheads. She also is a master scuba diver and accomplished fisherman.

More than 30 friends, neighbors and family showed up for the Saturday night party at the Longhorn Steakhouse. “She’s a strong person, but this is going to be very hard,” Mo’s daughter, Mandy Raymer, says of Tim’s pending departure. “She has talked about it for so long, now here it is, a week away.” Tim and Mo will be married 11 years this Friday. Mo describes them as “Mutt and Jeff,” because he’s 6 feet 4 inches tall and she’s 5 feet 4 inches. While she’s the talker and the outspoken one, Tim is the “gentle giant,” Mo says.

As promised, here are some tips on how to get ready for the Buck Hurley triathlon, or any other one you want to participate in. These tips are for novice athletes. This week, I will focus on workouts, the logistics for swimming, biking and riding and on equipment for a triathlon. I hope if you are entering the ESTER Buck Hurley MARSH triathlon on May 1 you have been training for it already. The pool swim for the sprint is 300 yards, or 12 pool lengths. Each length is 25 yards. Workouts should be at least 500 yards, and preferably 750 to 1,000 yards. At this point, just be able to swim at least 500 yards without stopping. To get speed, you would have to start interval training and doing so much more. There isn’t enough time for that. A pool swim is exciting. When you sign up, you need to give a swim time, which is used to place you in the competition. The fastest swimmer starts

first, then the second fastest starts second, and so on. Your time does not start until you cross a mat that starts your time using an anklet with a computer chip in it. You snake your way across the pool by swimming in the different swim lanes until you get out and go into the transition area. From here, you go to the biking competition, and next week I will go into the transitions from swimming to biking and biking to running. Training on the road is tricky, but doable if you ride with a group, find cycling friendly routes and wear bright colored clothing. You can check with Windsong bike shop because they have groups meet there for rides. If that is not an option, cycling classes can get you in a good shape to ride the 10 miles for the sprint distance. Cycling classes get you through a virtual workout, adding resistance to simulate hills and including speed changes. The actual route for the Buck Hurley Triathlon Sprint will begin at the back of the Y, then head to Jake Alexander Boulevard going towards the mall, turning right on

right on Fulton Street, right on Lincolnton Road and coming back behind High Rock Church to the YMCA. For training you should work your way up to 5 or 6 miles. If you can run outside, that would be great, but a treadmill can get you ready if that is your only option. Use a pre-programmed level that has different hills, again mimicking a run outside. If you are looking for speed, the workout will be very different, but for now I want you to finish and have a great time. Your time will stop, and you will hand in your anklet with the chip. We use a three-split system. That means the first split is the swim, the second split is the transition from swimming to biking and transition from biking to running. The third split is the run. RMS Sports does our timing. They have been timing events for a long time and they did a great job for us last year. Today and tomorrow are the only two days for the early bird fee of $45.

You can swim, bike and run in these suits. They are expensive, and if you are not sure if you would do another triathlon it’s an item that is not necessary. You can wear a bathing suit and pull over lightly padded cycling pants or compression shorts. You can jump from the bike and go straight to your run. If you wear true cycling pants, the padding is so thick that it will hinder you while running.

Hurley Park celebrates season

SPENCER — Aldermen in Spencer wil hear an analysis of recycling options and programs when the town board meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Town Hall. Also Tuesday, aldermen will hold two public hearings — one on regulating pawn shops and another on the rezoning of Snider Street. In February 2010, the board rezoned parts of Long Ferry Road and the I-85 corridor from residential and commercial designations to Interstate Business. Jerry Snider and Hazel Snider, who own property adjacent to a rezoned parcel on Snider Street, sued the town. As agreed upon during court-ordered mediation, the Spencer Planning Board reconsidered the decision and will recommend the town return the property to residential zoning. Also on the agenda: • Department reports. • Town manager report. • Mayor and committee reports. • Public comment. • Request for in-kind donation from Spencer Council of Churches. • Request to address the board Donna Miller. • Resolution on N.C. Transportation funding. • Historic District walking tour. • Dog ordinance. • Library workshop. Contact reporter Emily Ford at 704-7974264.

SALISBURY — People couldn’t stop smiling Sunday during the Hurley Park Spring Celebration. The sun was shining, flowers were in full bloom, music filled the air and there was plenty of Cheerwine to go around. “What better place to celebrate spring,” Salisbury resident Beth Foreman said. “It’s a chance for people to be very relaxed and enjoy the weather.” Foreman, who attends the event every year, brought her grandsons Elijah Foreman, 5, and David Mayl, 12, to hear their grandfather Bob play trombone with the Salisbury Brass. Melissa Drye said her 5-year-old daughter Kaitlin also enjoyed listening to the group perform.

Republicans seeking UNC, public school balance RALEIGH (AP) — As long as most people can remember, Democratic House and Senate budget-writers went to opposite corners over what they considered the suitable balance on expanding or cutting spending in the public schools and the University of North Carolina system. It appears Republicans are now doing the same thing. The tradition was Senate Democrats protected UNC’s 17 campuses more in their budget proposals, while House counterparts were more apt to defend local school districts and classrooms. Whatever the reason for this dichotomy — personalities, education experience or occupations — the differences led to late-night negotiations, horse trading and political intrigue over the years. “Certainly I recognized over the years that the Senate seemed to have a stronger voice for the university system and the House ... seemed to be more aligned with K-12,” said Philip Kirk, a former State Board of Education chairman and chief executive of the state chamber of commerce. “It could have been a little bit of that political gamesmanship and jockeying for the budget negotiations.” But these preferences apparently aren’t partisan in nature. They haven’t changed under the new Republican majority at the Legislature, at least in the early stages of budget discussions. House Republicans sound more inclined to limit public school cuts at the expense of the UNC system, while Senate Re-

“It’s going to be a tough task when you’ve got this large of a cut that you’ve got to make. It’s going to be a year that nobody’s going to be happy.” REP. BRYAN HOLLOWAY R-Stokes

publicans already concerned about state spending reductions within UNC the past four years don’t want disproportionate pain placed upon what many consider the state’s crown jewel. “There’s probably a difference of focus, or at least a difference of opinion as to what the right number is for K-12 or what the right number is for universities,” said Senate leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham. While Berger and other lawmakers said the difference may not be as wide as when Democrats led the Legislature, finding the balance may prove again the toughest obstacle before approving a budget by June that could eliminate thousands of education positions. The $11.2 billion allocated for public education this year comprises nearly 60 percent of the state budget. “It’s going to be a tough task when you’ve got this large of a cut that you’ve got to make,” said Rep. Bryan Holloway, R-Stokes, a co-chairman of the House education budget subcommittee. “It’s going to be a year that nobody’s going to be happy.” The House is expected this week to roll out its first menu of budget-cutting options that seek to spend $1.4 billion less next year

than Gov. Beverly Perdue’s budget proposal sought in six broad categories. GOP leaders have told budget-writers to come up with $763 million of those reductions from public education — the public schools, UNC and community college systems — or 12 percent less than what is needed to keep services at current levels and enroll students next fall. The House and Senate held joint education budget meetings in public for weeks to discuss options legislative staff members offered to the lawmakers to meet that 12 percent goal. Recently, however, the top education budget-writers have met behind closed doors to determine how much in cuts should be absorbed by each of the three parts of public education. Holloway said there’s already been general agreement about the level of cuts for community colleges, but the Senate and House don’t agree on the UNC system and the public schools. Holloway wouldn’t give more specifics, but he said the House plan would seek cuts of a percentage in the teens for the UNC system and less than 12 percent for the public schools. “I think the university has the ability to sustain a larger cut with

some of the resources that they have that K-12 and the community colleges don’t,” Holloway said, pointing to tuition increases and outside funds. “I think they can stomach a larger cut.” Sen. Richard Stevens, RWake, one of the Senate’s chief budget writers, pointed out that so much of the university’s system spending is restricted by endowments or government grants it can’t be shifted from one line item to another that easily. Over the past two decades, the Senate’s top leaders have had close ties to the UNC system. Former Sen. Marc Basnight, DDare, the president pro tempore for the past 18 years, didn’t graduate from college but identified his political mentor as UNCChapel Hill trustee and donor Walter Davis. Stevens is a former UNC-Chapel Hill trustee chairman whose family has an endowment at N.C. State University. On the House side, there seems to be more current or former public school teachers or administrators than in the Senate, said Sheri Strickland, president of the North Carolina Association of Educators, the state’s leading teacher lobbying group. Holloway is a former high school history teacher. Strickland said the threat of cuts of 10 percent or higher for the coming year means no branch of public education should be considered a favored group. “We consider ourselves all sort in the same boat,” Strickland said.

Chapel Hill woman runs sanctuary for wild animals CHAPEL HILL (AP) — To the barn owl shot in the eye, the red fox with a broken nose or the crow missing part of its beak, Kindra Mammone’s three-bedroom house stands as sanctuary from the worst punches the wilderness can throw. Over the last nine years, she has nursed thousands of feathered and fur-covered casualties through amputated wings, car-struck muzzles and accidental bites of rat poison. Some people throw rocks at squirrels. Mammone adopts them. Some people run down deer. Mammone feeds them formula. She says more than 200 creatures inhabit her 2.5 acres, most of them living indoors, including a trio of foxes and a pair of skunks who run loose. But the idea behind CLAWS Inc., the nonprofit group she started outside Chapel Hill, is to send critters back into the woods ready to forage with new vigor. Last year alone, CLAWS returned 450 patched-up animals into the wild. One year, Mammone stopped counting the number of baby rabbits she rehabilitated after the number hit 115. Once, she released 45 opossums on the same day. “I don’t think most people could live the way we do,” she said of her family and its menagerie. hard-luck “There’s only one room in our house that doesn’t have animals in it, and that’s a bathroom. I usually share my food at night with a fox.” Her mission at CLAWS is to accept troubled beasts with no other haven, which

Lincoln County Couple loses it all, begins life anew CHARLOTTE (AP) — In better times, Tommy and Connie Deason of Denver ran their own construction business and lived in a “dream” house. Like thousands of others, the Lincoln County couple was hit hard by the recession. They lost their business and house. As they regrouped, illness struck. She had major surgery, and a heart attack almost killed him. Things got worse. In January, Tommy Deason learned he had moyamoya, a rare, life-threatening brain disease. The treatment he needs is at Stanford University Medical Center in Palo Alto, Calif. The Deasons plan to get there before their insurance runs out in May. Friends like Brenda McCallum offer support. “Sometimes you see people so beaten down they don’t have anything else to fight with,” said McCallum, of Charlotte. “They’re just good people, and they deserve a break.” Meanwhile, Connie Deason is focusing on her pre-nursing studies at Hickory’s Catawba Valley Community College. Grants helped her get into college to retrain for a new career. Final exams are critical for getting accepted into the nursing program. Her last exam is May 3. When it’s over, Deason will fly to California to join her husband. As his legal health care guardian, she’ll be with him when medical tests start on May 4. Teachers offered to postpone the exam, but Deason declined. It’s her key to starting over. “I’m going to be the best nurse there is,” she said. • • • Losing it all Connie and Tommy Deason, both 53, have been together for 22 years and have four grown children. They met over the radio when she

Tommy Deason will go to the Stanford Moyamoya Center where Dr. Gary Steinberg, a leading authority on the disease, will perform bypass surgery to restore blood flow to the brain. While moyamoya isn’t curable, surgery can significantly reduce the risk of a stroke, according to the Stanford center. Teresa Bell-Stephens, registered nurse coordinator at the facility, said Steinberg has done more than 800 of the surgeries in the last 20 years. • • • Starting over

Tommy Deason watches his wife, Connie, study before class at Catawba Valley Community College, where she’s working toward the nursing program. Tommy was diagnosed with a rare brain disease, and Connie will head to California for his surgery after her last exam in May.

“Sometimes you see people so beaten down they don’t have anything else to fight with. They’re just good people, and they deserve a break.” BRENDA MCCALLUM friend

was a dispatcher with a Charlotte trucking firm and he was a driver escorting wide-load vehicles. “He sounded like a heck of a nice guy,” Connie Deason recalled. “He was very professional, but had a sense of humor.” Tommy Deason had a background in construction and by 1996 the couple had their own company. Losing the business and house was painful, but the Deasons found other jobs. In 2007, Connie Deason had surgery; the next year, her husband suffered a heart attack.

Both were laid off from their jobs and began drawing unemployment. Last year, Connie enrolled at Catawba Valley college. As she began her second semester, her husband began having severe headaches and numbness in his face. The problem was diagnosed as blocked arteries at the base of the brain — a rare condition called moyamoya — Japanese for “puff of smoke.” The term describes the appearance of the tangle of vessels in a disease first identified in Japan during the 1960s.

Despite all that’s going on in her life, Deason makes top grades. “Connie is a real go-getter,” said Betty Peterson, professor of anatomy, physiology and anthropology at Catawba Valley. “She’s one of those students who demonstrated early on she has all the characteristics needed to succeed. She’s never late, works very hard and sits in front of the class because she doesn’t want to miss anything. She not only asks questions but a lot of good questions.” On May 3, her final exam — the state skills test in Certified Nursing Assistant I — is at 5 p.m. Teachers are letting her go first so she can get on the road. After the 30-minute test, Deason will head to Charlotte in her 1993 Jeep Cherokee. The drive takes slightly over an hour; her flight leaves at 8:10 p.m. “I’ve got a little wiggle room, but not much,” Deason said. “I plan to be very careful.” Rolling down the highway, she’ll think not so much of the bad things that have happened, but a positive future. “Tommy and I are going to come back new people,” Deason said. “He’s going to be healthy. We’ll get started on a new life. And be productive again.”

The Salisbury Brass entertains in Hurley Park during the Hurley Park Spring Celebration on Sunday.

SPRING froM 3A “Her and her dad used to go the symphony together,” she said. Drye said Kaitlin with her 2-year-old sister, McKenzie, had also enjoyed a carriage ride and free snacks. And she took a time out to snap a couple of pictures of the girls. “I wanted to take advantage of the pretty foliage,” she said. Kristin and Anthony Beaver of Chine Grove brought their sons Andrew, 8, and Corey, 13, to the celebration for the first time this year. “It’s really nice, there’s a good sense of community,” Kristian Beaver said. “Every community could use something like this.” Kristin Beaver said she enjoyed a performance by magician Buddy Farnan, but her sons were more mesmerized by the Alberti Flea Circus. Jim Alberti entertained groups with his “fleas,” that did tricks including shooting out of a cannon and high diving. All that was needed to enjoy the show was a little imagination. There are no trained fleas. Andrew, who waited about 30 minutes to see the flea circus and assisted Alberti with one of the tricks, didn’t actually see a flea, but he’s pretty sure it landed on his shirt. Eight-year-old Ben Blumenthal could relate. “When the flea shot out of the cannon I didn’t see him shoot out, but I heard him make a splash,” he said. Alberti’s grandfather started the flea circus, but after he died the circus shut down. He decided to bring it back to life while working as a teacher University of North Carolina School of the Arts in 1987. “I never intended to be a career teacher so I decided it was time to leave and do something else,” he said. Alberti said the project was a labor of love between him and his adopted son, Darryl. “When I mentioned the flea circus his ears perked up, so we built it together,” he said. This was the first year Alberti performed at the Spring Celebration. The Salisbury Symphony Orchestra’s musical petting zoo is no stranger to the event. Linda Jones, the symphony’s executive director, and Susan Trivette, education director, set up a tent to let children try their hand at instruments such as violin and flute. Adams Stage Lines of Concord provided about 25 horse carriage rides up and down Annadale Avenue. The Salisbury Fire Department was on hand to give children an up close look at their truck. Carolina Artists were also there selling paintings, birdhouses and a variety of other works. Elfi Trott, an artist from the group, sat in a lawn chair enjoying the clear skies Sunday. As a landscape painter, she draws much of her inspiration from places like Hurley Park. The entire event was free. And those who stopped by the park Sunday got to take it all in with a bag of popcorn washed down with an ice-cold cup of Cheerwine. Contact reporter Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

of the night still remained before us, so the rest of that night we spent as we would have at home, asleep. The hotel in which we slept was a former antebellum home. It was in the shadow of a great tree of similar age which was illuminated by an outside yard light. The shadow of that incandescently-illuminated tree was much older than the shadows of the full moon-illuminated trees in my yard back home on the Old Concord Road, but the collective intensity of those younger, familiar shadows was just as deep as the intensity of that great unfamiliar single shadow which was their senior by many years.

check the oil, and then proceed with glass cleaner and paper towel to clean dirt and “bug juice” from the windshield. I remember looking up at the glass from the inside while the attendant cleaned it, the sight of the wiping away of the highway grime from that angle having an almost therapeutic effect. Looking up from below as he cleaned, I had sort of the same vantage point on his cleaning as some of the hapless insects which had been splattered there. I got my first taste of McDonalds that night. I seem to remember the dill pickle chips in the hamburger as being twangier than now, but maybe it is I who have lost “twangyness” over the years. When my father would cut on the overhead light to check his roadmap, the small, intimate space in which we were riding stood out against the much vaster space which seemed to be speeding past us outside. This being the time of the Mercury Space Program, I thought about Alan Shepard’s flight in his Freedom 7 capsule, the inside space of which seemed to have about the same amount of room as the space physically occupied by me in that small portion of the back seat of our family car.

ne time, in the very early 1960s, my parents and I went on a trip, the length of which required that my father do some night driving. In the daylight hours, everything along the highway from my view in the back seat was connected. After sunset, and after dusk became true darkness, there was a “disconnect” of the things of the day which apMACK conWILLIAMS peared nected as they seemed to stream by us earlier in the daylight. The sights now “going by” appeared separate, punctuated in between with darkness, with differing degrees of visibility in proportion to the varying brightness of the lighting employed. When passing individual homes, I could sometimes see chandeliers, but more often, simpler ceiling lighting if the home were similarly simple. I never saw anyone in the windows of these homes, but was sure that although they were out of my sight, they were not far away from, and within sight of that overhead illumination, unless it had been left on, as with a place of business, to deter buglars. When passing by a city, I saw that some lights remained on in some of the windows of an office building, their disjointedness in relation to each other making them resemble the early stages of puzzle solving on the old Hugh Down’s “Concentration” gameshow. A few buildings would have the trademark of a national business in lights, that familiar brand name seeming sort of comforting in the darkness. Restaurants would be illuminated, as well as car lots, with their plastic differentlycolored triangles being strung above and across the lot, resembling nautical semaphores. On some taller buildings which reached up into areas where a small plane might approach in the darkness, lights flashed red at the summit, similar to those atop radio broadcast towers. We began the trip with our old constant friend, 1280 on the AM dial, but as our distance from Salisbury increased, WSAT’s constancy faded, with the place of that number on the dial eventually becoming silent. As well as our route being traced on a roadmap, it could also be followed along the dial, with the number of radio stations whose detectability would gradually increase, reach a zenith, then slowly fade away as we drove, a bit like supernovae in the darkness of space ( but in the case of supernovae, they appear already at their zenith of brightness, to be followed by a protracted fading, then seen no more). It being the early 1960’s, on many of those radio stations there seemed to be a predominance of Frankie Valli’s falsetto voice in the night. Some stations were asking their listeners to call in some of their favorite songs to be played. A few did call in, and of course,we didn’t, but could have if we had miraculously jumped many years into the future and were fortunate enough to not be passing through a “dead zone”. When we would stop at a filling station, the attendant ( some at that time, still in service station uniform) would pump the gas,

I’d written letters and real estate contracts, so you can see just how odd it was for me to think I could write and publish a newsletter. Still, I was drawn to the idea. I had a sense of confidence I could not explain. My business plan consisted of multiplying 1,000 subscriptions by $12. I’d collect the money, write 12 issues and be done with it. You can see that I started out with, shall we say, a few rough edges. I forgot details such as printing and postage. I scrambled, reinvented and found ways to make do. Still, people subscribed. They caught my passion and desire to help them. As the story goes... They built a railway over

NEW YORK (AP) — Tenor Juan Diego Florez has really delivered: a host of high Cs to a worldwide audience of millions — and minutes earlier, his own baby boy in New York City. Florez helped two midwives in the birth of his son, Leandro Florez, at 12:25 p.m. Saturday. The tenor had stayed up all night with his wife, Julia, after she went into labor at their rented apartment on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. While the couple awaited the birth of their first child, the world waited for the 38year-old Peruvian to sing the tenor lead in Rossini’s comic opera “Le Comte Ory” at the nearby Metropolitan Opera — starting at 1 p.m. The baby got the cue: He bawled first. He came into the world in time for his daddy to hold him for a minute before rushing to the Met. “It was beautiful,” Florez said later in an interview during the broadcast. “It was a home birth with a pool, in the water, it was very nice and very calm.” But then, it was a mad rush. “I gave the baby to Julia,” he said. “I was so sad to leave.” The show went on — a live transmission heard in movie theaters and on radio, also starring soprano Renee Fleming and mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato.

History Club features presentation on Revolutionary hero The April meeting of the Rowan History Club will be held on at 7 p.m. Tuesday with the program being presented by Travis Bowman on “Hercules of the American Revolution. Bowman is a sixth-generation descendant of Peter Francisco. Francisco was called the “Hercules of the Revolution” because of his enormous size, massive strength and unbelievable bravery. George Washington had a 6-foot broadsword made for him and even made the claim that we would have likely lost the whole Revolutionary War without Peter Francisco. His legacy continues today with five monuments that stand in his honor and a U.S. bicentennial stamp. A novel based on the life of Francis-

co written by a sixth-generation descendant of similar stature enshrined him in 1976, in addition to the three states that observe Peter Francisco Day. “Peter Francisco’s story is not just another legend from the battlefields of the Revolution,” says bestselling author and film producer Robert Whitlow. “This truly is the American Braveheart story.” Travis Bowman, is similar in stature standing the same height and looks remarkably similar to one of Peter’s portrait paintings. As an actor, Bowman enjoys performing dramatic impersonations of Peter with a replica broadsword similar to the one George Washington had made for him. In 2009, he self-published a historical

novel entitled Hercules of the Revolution, and has recently produced the first documentary about his ancestor which airs around the country on select television networks. The meeting will be held in the Messinger Room. Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month, September to May. The Museum is located at 202 N. Main St. Guests should enter through the rear entrance. A roundtable format will allow for a 30- to 45-minute presentation, followed by a question and answer period. For more information, contact the Rowan Museum at 704-633-5946 or email rowanmuseum@carolina.rr.com.

TO THE EDITOR

Drug-testing bill needs one change Regarding the April 8 article “Drug test for jobless benefits part of bill”: Rep. Harry Warren has come up with a stroke of genius. By having the employer pay for the testing, the new bill does three things. A. It eliminates the argument that the unemployed cannot afford the testing. B. It eliminates the argument which states the government cannot afford the testing. C. Last, your employer normally has a good idea whether you’re doing drugs or not. This will give them the opportunity to have you tested and not pay for your unemployment check. Harry, this is one of the best bills I have had the pleasure of reading. Unfortunately, you need to add one clause. All state employees, including House and Senate members, should also be subject to mandatory, periodic drug testing. I used to oversee the drug testing for Charleston AFB. I have heard every argument and seen the testing procedures put to the test in court, time and time again. If the state uses gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) methodology, it is virtually fool proof. Keep up the good work. — Rick Johnson Salisbury

Let me see if I understand. To receive unemployment benefits, a person must actually have worked, contributed into the unemployment funds and had taxes taken out of his/her paycheck ... right? And for whatever reason, this responsible, working person has become unemployed and has a right to receive benefits he/she paid into. Am I right? Now, the state has decided that before this person can receive benefits from the money he/she has contributed, he/she could be made to take a random drug test, and if drugs are found, the benefits they paid will be discontinued? Although I have been very fortunate to have never received unemployment, when I worked, unemployment taxes were deducted from my check. In other words, the state held a percentage of my money in case I became unemployed and needed it. Something is wrong with this picture. We have a welfare system that is broke from giving individuals a check each month for doing nothing except use the system. We have generations of welfare families who have never worked but continue to use drugs, have babies and have an “entitlement” mentality. We have illegal aliens who have invaded our country and applied for every “free” service they can get. Neither of these groups has contributed into the system but receive the benefits working people provide. In my opinion, the people who don’t contribute should be the ones drug tested, not those who were formerly employed, tax-paying people. Wouldn’t it make more sense to drug test the people receiving free services, rather than testing the people who have actually contributed? If they test positive, stop their free services. How can the state withhold benefits from people who rightfully earned them? Perhaps we need to ask N.C. Rep. Harry Warren. If we can drug test people before they receive their own money, should the same rule apply to the people who receive free services working folks provide? — Margie Norris

ployment payments, the only thing that has kept me and my family alive and under a roof. Thank you, Lowe’s home improvment, for hiring me part time, then full time, only to lay me off after 33 days. Thanks, Windstream, for hiring me through a temp service only to lay me off after four months on the job. The years 2009 and 2010 and now 2011 have become the worst years ever for me and my family. Thirteen months have passed without a job and only three interviews in the last six months. Am I being discrimiated against because of my age (58)? Is it me? Did I say something wrong? Am I trying too hard (400-plus applications)? Is it tens of thousands of college-educated 30-year-olds looking for work? My three years of higher learning not enough? Guess not. Go back to school? Why? To be age 60 with a degree and still looking at the same prospects? Am I bitter, angry, discouraged? Do I give up like thousands of other have? Anyone out there care? Anyone out there have an answer for me? I have a well-rounded background with lots of good skills. Navy man, boiler tech, salesman for 10-plus years, commercial driver’s license, class A, with hazmat endorsement, facilities maintenance management for five years. What good is any of it if all that is looked at is my age? Do you have an answer for me? Well, I have a answer for you. I will not give up! I will not stop banging on doors until they open! I will not fall by the wayside like so many others have. I will not lose my home or my pride or anything else. I have worked all my life. I will prevail, and I will, with the grace of God, find work. — Ralph Thompson China Grove

Tea Party must keep heat on politicians I hope that the Republicans do not cave in to the Democrats and allow any bill to be passed that does not cut every cent from the budget that they were sent there to do. The Democrats had all of last year to pass a budget if they had wanted to, instead of crying about Obamacare. If the government shuts down, so be it, but it is not on the hands of the newly aligned House and anyone thinking so is still looking through Obama-tinted glasses. Even though John Burke makes absurd remarks about the Tea Party and how it revolves around the Republican Party, if he would simply attend just one meeting, he would see that the Tea Party favors neither the Democrats, nor the Republicans. And before Burke calls me a racist for despising everything that Obama has done to this country while in office, I want him to know that I would vote for Allen West, a man who actually was born in the United States and proudly served the United States military, for president right now. So unlike him, I prefer to consider what a person does or does not do, instead of foolishly following a certain party’s lines, when making comments, or voting for them. Here is to the hope that the Tea Party keeps the heat on

every person in any government position to remember that they work for “We the People,” all of us. Harry Warren, you need to remember this as well. — Danny Warren Gold Hill

Planned Parenthood a waste of tax funds Planned abortion does not equate to “parenting.” Between 2008 and 2009 alone, Planned Parenthood performed more than 650,000 abortions. Now, they are crying that if they lose funding, it will prevent women from receiving health care. I don’t think an abortion is “healthy.” Planned Parenthood had a profit of $63 million in 2009. That should be enough for them to keep on killing babies without our tax dollars. — John Walls Salisbury

A big disconnect on fair treatment I have had a business phone with a major phone service for more than 20 years, with no bills ever paid late. We canceled the land line this month because we rarely use it, relying on cell phones. When you call his old business number now, it refers you to “a similar business” in the area. We called and complained about them using our number to advertise for another business and were told there was nothing we could do; they were within the law to do so. Being legal and being right are not the same thing. Apparently, being a monopoly in business gives you the reins to treat customers, especially former customers, any way you want. — Tom Owens Woodleaf

Common sense

The nice thing about egotists is that they don’t talk about other people. — Lucille S. Harper

pril, as National Child Abuse Prevention Month, offers us an important opportunity to consider how the well-being of today’s children is essential for the future success for our state. The future is all around us — newborn babies, preschool and schoolage children and adolescents on the brink of adulthood. They are tomorrow’s leaders, parents and workers. The future of our state is inextricably tied to how we, as adults, work to foster their health and well-being. We know exactly what we need to do to help all children thrive. We must provide them with supportive, nurturing environments in all areas of their lives — at home, in school and in the community. What does children’s healthy development, and specifically, brain development, have to do with ending child abuse? Plenty. Science tells us the experiences children have early in life actually build the architecture of their developing brains. Brains are built over time, just like houses. And, just as a well-built house requires a strong and stable framework, our children’s brains also need a strong structure for all of the development that follows. Experiences of abuse and neglect cause “toxic stress” which damages the developing brain. Toxic stress is long lasting, happens without consistent supportive relationships, and leads to lifelong problems in learning and behavior, as well as in physical and mental health. In fact, new research through the ACE study shows that toxic stress weakens children’s defense systems against diseases over time. Too often childhood toxic stress leads to adult diseases including heart disease, diabetes, obesity and depression. When early experiences are positive the architecture of the brain can build itself from the bottom up in a healthy way. Children of all ages naturally Rosie Allen reach out to the adults in their Ryan is presi- lives.

We Child Abuse have the tools to encourage North Caroli- healthy brain development in na and former all children. Evidence-based director of and promising family Smart Start strengthening programs have Rowan. been proven to protect children from toxic stress by encouraging strong positive interactions with the key adults in their lives. In 2007, Prevent Child Abuse America estimated child maltreatment costs our nation $103 billion annually in direct and indirect costs. In North Carolina alone, more than 120,000 children are reported abused or neglected each year. When you consider the direct costs of hospitalization, mental health services, the child welfare system and law enforcement and add the indirect costs of special education, long-term health problems, incarceration and loss of income, you can see North Carolina’s share of these costs is immense. Isn’t it time we reduced these costs? Evidence-based programs can help us do that. Evidence-based programs have been thoroughly tested in randomized control group studies and are proven to work. They have been shown to be effective in increasing positive interactions between parents and children leading to reductions in behavior problems, enhanced family communication and problem solving, as well as reductions in parental stress. Evidence-based programs ensure communities get what they paid for through systems that verify the promised outcomes are achieved today, leading to more positive outcomes for communities in the future. Children who have supportive, nurturing relationships are more likely to grow up to be nurturing parents, healthy, productive workers and responsible citizens. Prevent Child Abuse North Carolina’s goal is for all children to have the support they need to thrive and grow up to be contributing members of their communities. We recognize that raising children is not easy and all families benefit from support and guidance. We work with communities throughout our state to help them implement evidence-based and promising programs for families. More than 3,000 families benefitted from these programs last year with positive results. Can you imagine the implications if more families had access to these programs? In recognition of Child Abuse Prevention Month, let’s celebrate the many communities in our state that are working to create positive, healthy environments that support children’s development. With additional private and public support, we can continue working together to bring evidence-based and promising practices to all communities in our state. Please join us in supporting these vital programs that work to end child abuse and neglect in our state, and create a more prosperous, positive future for us all.

MAPLETON, Iowa (AP) — Jamy Garden’s house began to rumble with the approach of a tornado that at one point measured three-quarters of a mile wide. Then the windows shattered, spraying her with glass. Using her cellphone as a flashlight, she fled to her basement and called her grandparents in tears. On Sunday, she returned home, wandering her backyard in a blood-splattered hooded sweat shirt, her right hand and left knee wrapped in gauze. Around her lay a tangle of tree branches, twisted siding, broken glass and a canoe that wasn’t hers. The tornado that struck the evening before damaged more than half of Mapleton, a town of 1,200 in western Iowa, Mayor Fred Standa said Sunday. He estimated about 20 percent of the town was “almost flat.” The huge, centuries-old trees the town was named for had been pulled out of the ground and wrapped around houses and tossed on top of cars, Standa said. In one case, a huge motor home had been flipped on its side. “It’s not a pretty sight,” Standa said. “It’s something nobody has seen in this town.” Garden’s house survived, but everything inside was tossed around. Her two dogs were safe, but she hadn’t yet found her cat.

CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) — The average U.S. price of a gallon of gasoline has jumped 19 cents over the past three weeks. The Lundberg Survey of fuel prices now puts the average price for a gallon of regular at $3.76. Analyst Trilby Lundberg said Sunday that price is 91 cents higher than it was this time last year. The national average for a gallon of mid-grade is $3.90. For premium it’s $4.01 a gallon. Lundberg says diesel prices rose 11 cents a gallon over the past three weeks, to $4.09. Tucson, Ariz., had the nation’s lowest average price for gas at $3.41. San Francisco had the highest at $4.13.

Former Egyptian President denies abuse of authority CAIRO (AP) — In the first remarks since his ouster, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak denied allegations that he used his position to amass wealth and property in a speech broadcast Sunday, as hundreds of protesters occupying the heart of Cairo shouted for him to be brought to trial. Mubarak, forced out of office two months ago by a popular uprising, said he was willing to cooperate in any investigation to prove that he did not own property abroad or possessed foreign bank accounts. Shortly after Mubarak’s pre-recorded speech was aired, Egypt’s prosecutor general told state TV he issued orders Sunday summoning the ex-president and his two sons for questioning. The station quoted a prosecution spokesman as saying the scope of the investigation of Mubarak and his sons would include the crackdown on protesters that killed an estimated 300 people as well as the corruption allegations. Holding Mubarak and top officials in his government accountable for the violence is a central demand of antiMubarak movement. The pan-Arab news channel Al-Arabiya, which broadcast the speech, said it was recorded Saturday, a day after demonstrators gathered in huge numbers in Cairo to demand that the military council that took over from Mubarak launch an investigation into his wealth. There was no video image accompanying the recording of Mubarak’s voice.

United Nations troops pass through a checkpoint manned by soldiers loyal to Alassane Ouattara, at a republican forces operating base at one of the main entrances to Abidjan, Ivory Coast, on Saturday. Ivory Coast’s democratically elected leader said his forces won’t capture the entrenched strongman who remained holed up Friday in an underground bunker at the presidential residence, and instead will focus on normalizing life in the besieged city.

Wisconsin union Tornado destroys dozen blocks in small debate shifts to target both parties western Iowa town

Witness: 4 protesters killed after Syrian army seals port BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian security forces and pro-government gunmen killed four protesters Sunday in the port city of Banias after the army sealed off the city as hundreds of protesters gathered, undaunted by the regime’s use of deadly force to quell more than three weeks of unrest, witnesses said. State TV reported that nine soldiers were killed in an ambush near the city. Details were sketchy because telephone lines, Internet access and electricity apparently were cut to most parts of the city. Army tanks and soldiers circled the city, preventing people from entering. But one witness, reached by telephone, said hundreds of protesters had gathered near the al-Rahman mosque when security forces and armed men in civilian clothes opened fire on them. The names of the dead were read out on mosque loudspeakers. He said dozens of people were wounded, but most of them asked to be treated at a small clinic instead of at the main hospital, which was under the control of the feared security forces. Like most eyewitnesses who spoke to the Associated Press, he requested anonymity for fear of reprisals from the government. Several other human rights activists, also citing witnesses, reported shooting in Banias on Sunday.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Nearly a month after the Wisconsin standoff over union rights ended, some of the fervor from that debate has shifted to recall efforts targeting lawmakers in both parties — Republicans who voted to cut back collective bargaining and Democrats who fled the state to try to stop them. Now that the law has passed, organizers are focusing on signature-gathering efforts. But of the 16 state senators who were originally targeted, only six appear likely to face an election threatening removal. And before recall elections can be held, supporters need to find candidates to run against the incumbents. Still, voter outrage remains high in many places, helping to stir interest in the recalls. “A lot of legislators are going to be looking over their shoulders a little more in the future,” said Michael Kraft, a professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin at Green Bay. “And if they are in the middle of a recall effort, they might be nervous about that. They might moderate what they say and how they approach the budget.” Last week, Democrats filed their first petition to try to recall a GOP senator who supported Gov. Scott Walker’s law, which eliminated collective bargaining for most public employees.

Debate brewing over proposal for Utah tar sands mine SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Beneath the lush, green hills of eastern Utah’s Uinta Basin, where elk, bear and bison outnumber people, the soil is saturated with a sticky tar that may soon provide a new domestic source of petroleum for the United States. It would be a first-ofits kind project in the country that some fear could be a slippery slope toward widespread wilderness destruction. With crude prices surging beyond $100 a barrel, and politicians preaching the need to reduce America’s reliance on foreign supplies, companies are now looking for more local sources. One Canadian firm says it’s found it in the tar sands of Utah’s Book Cliffs. Alberta-based Earth Energy Resources Inc. aims to start with a roughly 62-acre mine here to produce bitumen, a tar-like form of petroleum, from oil-soaked sands. For decades, other Utah operators have used oil sands as a poor-man’s asphalt, and Canada has been wringing oil from the ground for years, but nobody has yet tried to produce petroleum from U.S. soil on such a scale. And it could be just the beginning. The company has over 7,800 acres of Utah state land under lease, with plans to acquire more, and esti-

mates its current holdings contain more than 250 million barrels of recoverable oil. “This is not just a 62-acre project that will last seven years. We are looking at a 30,000-acre project that will destroy the environment in this area over many years,” said John Weisheit, a Colorado River guide and founder of the Moab, Utahbased environmental group Living Rivers.

Bob Dylan gives special concert in former Saigon HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam (AP) — Bob Dylan, whose anti-war anthems made him the face of protest against a war that continues to haunt a generation of Americans, finally got his chance to see Vietnam — at peace. The 69-year-old Dylan took to the stage in the former Saigon on Sunday, singing such favorites as “A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall” and “Highway 61 Revisited.” Only about half of the 8,000 seats were sold to a mix of Vietnamese and foreigners who danced on the grass in the warm evening air as Dylan jammed on guitar, harmonica and the keyboard at RMIT University. With more than 60 percent of the country’s 86 million people born after the war, many young people here are more familiar with pop stars like Justin Bieber. Still, Dylan’s music during the tumultuous 1960s touched thousands of people in both nations.

Police: Calif. man tried to take bus at knifepoint

GENEVA (AP) — Free beer will reportedly be verboten soon in Switzerland, if the government has its way. Swiss weekly Sonntag says the Cabinet has drafted a plan to ban restaurateurs from offering any free drinks to customers. It cited the director of the Swiss Alcohol Board on Sunday as saying an existing ban on promotions involving other alcoholic beverages would be extended to include beer. Alexandre Schmidt says publicans would still be allowed to offer “spontaneous” rounds to regulars. The proposal has drawn strong opposition from the hospitality industry as free beer promotions are common in bars, restaurants and at public events in Switzerland. Gastrosuisse chief Bernhard Kuster likened the new law to prohibition and said it would do nothing to stop alcohol abuse.

REDDING, Calif. (AP) — Police in the Northern California city of Redding say a man threatened an Amtrak bus driver with a knife and tried to take over the vehicle. It’s not clear whether any passengers were on board at the time. Police say 43-year-old Robert Fender, of San Francisco, threatened the 58-yearold driver at the Redding bus terminal around 7 p.m. Saturday. Redding police spokesman Bart Langley says the driver was able to escape and activate a kill switch that disabled the engine. Police say Fender ran and was arrested nearby. He was being held Sunday on $100,000 bail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, terrorist threats, carjacking and displaying a

Small plane crashes into Maine house; 1 dead BIDDEFORD, Maine (AP) — A small plane crashed into a house in Maine and burst into flames Sunday evening, killing one person on the plane, authorities said. No one was home at the time of the crash. The victim was believed to be the pilot of the single-engine plane, which crashed through the roof of the house near Biddeford Municipal Airport after 6 p.m., said Steve McCausland, spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety. There was no immediate word on what caused the crash or on the plane’s destination. Fifteen-year-old Josh Pelletier, who lives about 200 yards from the crash site, said he had been looking out a window and noticed a lowflying plane, but didn’t hear any noises suggesting that it was having engine trouble. A few moments later, he heard a boom. “It was a lot lower than usual,” Pelletier said. The homeowners, Kim and Steve Myers, said they had been out during the day, then returned at 5 p.m. and left again with their dog. They said they were in shock upon returning and seeing the wreckage but were grateful to have been away when the crash occurred.

normalcy and moved into temporary housing, while Japan’s prime minister promised Sunday to help fishermen along the devastated coast get back to their boats. Rows of 36 boxy, gray houses line a junior high school parking lot in this port city pulverized by the March 11 wave, and, after a lottery, the first lucky few families moved in this weekend. Each unit is just 320 square feet, but replete with modern comforts like a television, refrigerator, microwave and washing machine — a welcome upgrade for the homeless, many of whom have slept on the floors of school gyms for a month. That’s just one house for every 50 applicants. “It’s a mystery how we were lucky enough to be chosen. It’s like a dream,” said Sakai Sasaki, 80, who had been living with relatives. The city hopes to complete 400 units in eight different locations by mid May, although that will still only cover about one-quarter of the families in need. Other areas have similar plans, but Rikuzentakata’s units are the first to be completed.

ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (AP) — United Nations and French helicopters fired rockets on strongman Laurent Gbagbo’s residence on Sunday in an assault the U.N. said was to retaliate for attacks by his forces on U.N. headquarters and civilians. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he had authorized the strikes, accusing Gbagbo of using heavy weapons against Ivory Coast civilians and the U.N. forces trying to protect them. Residents from nearby neighborhoods reported seeing two U.N. Mi-24 attack helicopters and a French helicopter open fire on the residence, where Gbagbo is holed up in a bunker. The residents couldn’t be named for fear of reprisal. An Associated Press reporter saw the helicopters take off from the French military base followed minutes later by explosions coming from the direction of the residence. Successive waves of French helicopters took off from the base in the following hours and additional bombardments could be heard. Gbagbo has been living in a bunker in his residence in Abidjan for nearly a week. After a decade in power, he refuses to step aside even though the United Nations has ruled that he lost the November presidential election to Alassane Ouattara.

DISPLAY FRoM 1a with the exhibit, which will be on display until mid-January, much longer than the normal temporary displays. Local historians Mickey Black, Clyde, Ed and Sue Curtis, Luther Sowers, Betty Dan Spencer, Steven Wise and Gretchen Witt all contributed to the exhibit. Executive Director Kaye Brown Hirst said there’s a little something for everyone at the Rowan Museum during the Civil War exhibit. In addition to the temporary exhibit are exhibits that are at the museum every day — Confederate Prison life, Commercial and Professional Life, Community, and Country Life and Early Trade. Hirst said the anniver-

sary of the Civil War was the best time to host an exhibit about the war in Rowan County. “There are a lot of people fascinated with the Civil War,” said Hirst. “It was just a good time to do it.” While the Civil War may be history, there’s one thing new in the exhibit. The Civil War exhibit is the first exhibit at the museum to use digital technology in displays. There are digital picture frames in three of the displays exhibited — medical life, weapons and the prison. Hirst estimates that 150 people attended the opening day of the exhibit on Sunday. The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the week, and 1-4 p.m. on the weekend. For more information on the exhibit, contact the museum at 704-633-5946.

Hobby led to intricate display for museum BY JOANIE MORRIS For the Salisbury Post

It’s not every day that visitors at the Rowan Museum get to see what the battle at Grant’s Creek looked like. After all, there aren’t any pictures of the battle and all anyone has to go on are historic recountings of the event. But now, thanks to Steve Wise, visitors at the Rowan Museum’s new Civil War exhibit can see what may have happened at Grant’s Creek when Major Gen. George Stoneman led his raid on Confederate supply trains and took over Salisbury April 1213, 1865. “This is what it may have looked like (at Grant’s Creek),” said Wise. “These are the positions, the soldiers and the battery,” he added, gesturing to his glassed display in the Rowan County Civil War exhibit at the Rowan Museum. “This is only a small part.” Wise admits it’s a generalization of what the battles may have looked like, but he researched the raid at Grant’s Creek extensively, and used the information to build his table-top display. While there is no customization — maiming and killing of his toy soldiers — there are wounded soldiers and horses, and Confederate and Union soldiers are displayed in the correct colors. Wise got into toy soldiers as a child, he said. “The reason I got into toy

He definitely has an aptitude for toy soldiers. The reconstruction of the battle at Grant’s Creek includes where soldiers fought, and where the battle spilled onto train tracks. Even rocks and other natural barriers are included on the display. “They’re a lot of fun,” Wise said. “You can set them up, knock them down and build the world up again.” Contact Joanie Morris at Terry Holt in front of an exhibit depicting the Female Raid, when women raided local mercantiles for food. 704-797-4248.

Schwartzel masterful Historic collapse by McIlroy BY DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press

south Africa’s charl schwartzel tries on the traditional green jacket.

Kenseth feels like contender

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Charl Schwartzel gave this Masters a finish it deserved. On an amazing Sunday at Augusta National, where the roars came from everywhere and for everyone and didn’t stop until it was over, Schwartzel emerged from the madness by becoming the first Masters champion to close with four straight birdies. His final putt from 20 feet curled into the side of the cup for a 6-under 66, the best closing round at the Masters in 22 years. It gave the 26-year-old South African a two-shot victory over Australians Adam Scott and Jason Day. “Just an exciting day,” Schwartzel

said. “So many roars, and that atmosphere out there was just incredible. A phenomenal day.” Indeed, this final round had it all. First came a fist-pumping charge by Tiger Woods, who erased a seven-shot deficit in nine holes only to go flat on the back nine. Then came the stunning collapse of 21-year-old Rory McIlroy, who put his name in Masters lore for all the wrong reasons. Still leading by one shot as he headed to the back nine, McIlroy hit a tee shot next to the cabins left of the 10th fairway and twice hit a tree to make triple bogey. He three-putted from 7 feet for bogey on the 11th, four-putted from

Braves’ bats are silent

BY STEPHEN HAWKINS Associated Press

FORT WORTH, Texas — Matt Kenseth finally has that contending feeling again courtesy of a long-awaited return to Victory Lane. “You keep working as hard as you can at it. And you try to get the cars going the best KENSETH you can, and hopefully have some more chances to win,” the former Sprint Cup champion said after breaking a twoyear, 76-race winless streak with a dominating run at Texas. “It gives you a lot of confidence, and it’s a big relief.” For the first time since opening the 2009 season with consecutive victories at Daytona and California, Kenseth was a NASCAR Sprint Cup winner again Saturday night, when he led 169 of 334 laps in his No. 17 Ford. He fronted an impressive showing by Roush Fenway Racing, which had its four drivers in the top seven. Still, it was special for Kenseth to be the one holding the unique trophy and firing off the sixshooters that are part of the postrace celebration at Texas Motor Speedway. “I can’t say how proud I am to be here with Matt, realizing that he’s not gotten the success that his effort has deserved in the recent past,” car owner Jack Roush said. “Although we would like to win, that is pretty cool to see Matt in Victory Lane,” said teammate Carl Edwards, who finished third and took over the season points lead. After his fast start with two victories in 2009, Kenseth didn’t even qualify for the 12-driver Chase for the Sprint Cup championship that season, missing NASCAR’s playoff for the only time since its inception in 2004. He got back into the Chase last season, and finished 16th or better in each of the last races with four top-10s. Kenseth had led only five laps in the first six races this season, but the 39-year-old Wisconsin na-

ATLANTA — With a little offen3 sive supPhillies 0 p o r t , Braves Derek Lowe might have three wins. Instead, he has two losses, but the Atlanta Braves aren’t panicking after a slow start at the plate. Cole Hamels combined with two relievers on a fivehitter and Shane Victorino capped a big series with three hits, including his first homer, to lead the Philadelphia Phillies past the Braves 3-0 on Sunday. The Braves (4-6) are hitting only .229. “Obviously, you want to score some runs and win some ballgames, but it’s still early,” first-year manager Fredi Gonzalez said. Gonzalez said he’s not concerned “because this kid here, Hamels, was commanding his changeup both sides of the plate and his fastball.” Hamels (1-1) gave up four hits with one walk and eight strikeouts in seven innings to beat Lowe (1-2), who was almost as strong. The right-hander allowed seven hits and two runs in seven innings. Lowe has a losing record despite his 1.45 ERA. He gave up only one run in six innings in a 1-0 loss at Milwaukee on Tuesday. “We haven’t given him the run support that he needed, which didn’t have to be very much,” Dan Uggla said. Lowe wasn’t shifting blame for the loss. “I don’t believe in quality starts,” he said. “You either win or you lose.” Uggla, acquired in a trade with Florida to add power to the middle of the lineup, was 0-for-4, including a strikeout to end the game. He went 0-for-11 in the series and is hitting .158. Rookie first baseman Freddie Freeman is batting .188. Victorino has five straight multihit games, including four hits in the Phillies’ 10-2 win over the Braves on Saturday. He had nine hits as the Phillies took two of three in the series. Each of Victorino’s three hits came off Lowe. Entering the day, the switch-hitter was 2-for-24 in his career against the right-hander. “Shane did real good,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said.

Spencer’s ‘giant’ not forgotten BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

Times have changed. When Ruth McCoy was notified that her son Dan, a senior at Spencer High, had been chosen to participate in the City vs. County all-star basketball series that would cap Rowan’s 1953 high school sea- MCCOY son, she didn’t demand that he start every game and didn’t call the coach to discuss playing time. What Mrs. McCoy did instead was write a long letter to the Salisbury Post’s Horace Billings. The Post was a sponsor of the big event, and she thanked Billings for giving Dan the opportunity to participate and expressed hope that her son would prove worthy of such a wonderful honor. Obviously, Richard Daniel McCoy was raised well, and in that 1953 season he would raise Spencer’s Railroaders to unexpected roundball heights. A Belmont resident, McCoy passed away recently at 76, but the old-timers remember Spencer’s bearded giant, who was listed at 6-foot-6, and towered over most opponents. Railroader basketball forjumped tunes when young Marvin Miles became head coach. Miles COACH MILES graduated from Catawba in 1949 and quickly was hired to lead Spencer’s basketball and baseball teams and to serve as assistant AD and assistant football coach. McCoy made an impact for Miles in the 1952 season. There were great players in Rowan that year — Boyden’s Frank McRae, J.C. Price’s Warren Lyerly and Hulon Butler, Mt. Ulla’s Alex Morrow, Rockwell’s Mike Conry, Landis’ Bill Barnes, Cleveland’s Bill Sommers and Woodleaf’s Fred Foster. McCoy settled quietly for being the No. 10 scorer in the county at 15.3 points a game, but he would build on that production as a senior. Spencer competed in the South Piedmont Conference in 1953, one of the strangest, strongest leagues ever assembled. There were 14 member schools spread from Monroe to Wilkes Central. Two member schools were orphanages, a reminder of the impact of

World War II. Everyone in the SPC didn’t play everyone else. Schools also didn’t play the same amount of league contests, a scheduling quirk that would damage Spencer’s chances for a really magical season. It also should be noted that 1953 was the “Year of the Beard.” Rowan was reveling in a bicentennial bash— the county had been carved out of Anson County in 1753 — and a celebration committee encouraged all able-bodied males to become “Brothers of the Brush.” Many leading coaches sprouted serious facial hair, as did the athletes who were able. The dark-haired McCoy had little trouble cultivating an impressive beard in no time at all. The season began glumly for Spencer with a loss to Hickory, but by the time all the “practice” games were over, the Railroaders were back on track. They avenged the loss to Hickory by 20 points and shocked everyone by clobbering Concord 86-52. McCoy scored 21 against the Spiders, and 6-2 forward Bobby Miller, who had averaged 10 points as a junior, had blossomed. He scored 30, and fans noticed Spencer suddenly had won five straight. Guard Ralph Adams directed an attack averaging a stunning 75 points a game. McCoy poured in 32 as Spencer walloped Mooresville 89-44. He followed with 28 in a rough win against the Winston-Salem Children’s Home. The next game was the oddest of the season. Miller didn’t play against Monroe, as he’d been invited by Clemson to attend a banquet. Maybe that gave Monroe hope. At any rate, Monroe froze the ball, held it and held it, making 79 passes on one amazing possession and going eight minutes without attempting a shot. McCoy still scored 19, and Spencer escaped 43-24. McCoy kept connecting with his patented hook shots, and the Railroaders kept rolling. Even with three players suspended for breaking training, they beat Wilkes Central for their 10th straight win. That set up a showdown with A.L. Brown. When the Railroaders and Wonders met in a packed Spencer gym on Jan. 30, both were 10-1 overall and perfect in the SPC. Miller scored 26, but the Wonders limited McCoy to 10 and rode the hot hands of Carl Morton and Frank Black to a 68-58 win. The Wonders were scheduled to play one more league game than the Railroaders. That meant that even if Spencer won the rematch in Kannapolis for a split, it

would still need help from someone else to win the conference. That had to be deflating, but McCoy rebounded from his off night by scoring 31, 26, 28, 29 and 25 in Spencer’s next five outings — all wins. On Feb. 13 against Mooresville, he shot 14-for-16 from the floor. Spencer peaked at 17-2, and with McCoy averaging nearly 23 points per game. But a second loss to A.L. Brown — this time the Wonders held on 52-48— ended the Railroaders’ hopes for the SPC crown. Spencer wound up 12-3 in league play, the same winning percentage as Statesville, which had an SPC mark of 8-2. Spencer lost the coin flip, and was handed the SPC’s No. 3 seed for the South Piedmont-Western Conference Tournament in Hickory. The top four from each league qualified. Western teams joining SPC representatives Brown, Statesville, Spencer and Thomasville were Shelby, Rutherfordton-Spindale, Hickory and Lincolnton. Spencer opened against Rutherfordton-Spindale, a No. 2 seed, and lost 69-51. McCoy scored 17 and was named to the all-tournament team. McCoy still had one last high school event in front of him— the City vs. County Classic, a threegame series pitting an all-star team of “city” players from Boyden, Spencer and East Spencer against an all-star team from the county schools. Spencer’s Miles coached the city guys, with Landis’ Dan Hamrick directing a county squad featuring Landis’ Barnes, China Grove’s Dean Sheetz and Cleveland’s Sommers. The city team had the size, but the county team had the speed. It was an intriguing matchup, and 650 fans turned out to see the series opener at Catawba. McCoy led the city team to victory with 23 points. In Game 2 in the China Grove gym, however, Barnes fired in 37, Sheetz had 25, and the county boys ran rings around their opponents to even the series with a 90-75 victory. A night later, in the rubber game in the Spencer gym, with every seat occupied, the city crew romped 104-78. Miller scored 32. McCoy had 16. Ruth McCoy’s boy left no doubt that he was a deserving all-star. The gentle giant went on to N.C. State, served in the U.S. Army and worked 34 years for Duke Power. He married Spencer High grad Carolyn Jean Long in July of 1956, and they were together for 55 years.

Miettinen knocks off former team Associated Press

The NHL roundup ... ST. PAUL, Minn. — Antti Miettinen’s goal early in the third period against his former team gave Minnesota the lead and kept Dallas out of the playoffs, with a 5-3 season-ending win by the Wild over the Stars on Sunday. Red Wings 4, Blackhawks 3 CHICAGO — Jimmy Howard made 33 saves and Detroit temporarily kept defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago from clinching the final playoff berth

in the Western Conference. But the Blackhawks secured the eighth and final spot in the West later in the day when Dallas lost at Minnesota. Devils 3, Bruins 2 NEWARK, N.J. — Vladimir Zharkov and Alexander Urbom scored third-period goals and New Jersey topped playoff-bound Boston in what was Jacques Lemaire’s final game as Devils coach. Avalanche 4, Oilers 3 DENVER — David Jones knocked in a rebound during a

power play 3:57 into overtime and Colorado finished the season on a winning note by beating Edmonton. Penguins 5, Thrashers 2 ATLANTA — Tyler Kennedy scored the first of Pittsburgh’s four second-period goals, reserve goalie Brent Johnson won his fourth straight decision, and the Penguins closed the regular season with a victory over alreadyeliminated Atlanta. Pascal Dupuis, Michael Rupp and rookie Mark Letestu scored as the Penguins broke it open.


Miami wades past Celtics for second in conference tory since Feb. 9 at Cleveland.

The NBA roundup ... MIAMI — LeBron James scored 27 points, Dwyane Wade added 14 and the Miami Heat moved past the Boston Celtics into second place in the Eastern Conference with a 100-77 victory on Sunday. Miami had been 0-3 against the Celtics this season. The Heat need a combination of two wins or Boston losses to wrap up the No. 2 seed in the East. Chris Bosh added 13 points and eight rebounds for Miami. Paul Pierce scored 24 points and Kevin Garnett added 21 for Boston, which lost for the 10th time in its last 19 games. Pistons 112, Bobcats 101 CHARLOTTE — Rodney Stuckey scored 24 points, fellow reserve Charlie Villanueva added 20 and Detroit recovered from a terrible start to beat reeling Charlotte and snap an 11-game road losing streak. Chris Wilcox chipped in with 14 points for the Pistons, who shot 56 percent from the field in their third straight win and second in three days since California investor Tom Gores reached a deal to buy the team. Hours after coach John Kuester said he hopes to return for the last year of his contract, the Pistons overcame a 15-point, first-quarter deficit for their first road vic-

Bulls 102, Magic 99 ORLANDO, Fla. — Derrick Rose had 39 points and five assists, and Luol Deng added 15 points to help Chicago hold off Orlando. Orlando’s Jameer Nelson appeared to tie it with a 3pointer at the buzzer, but an official review upheld an initial call of no basket. Ryan Anderson led the Magic with a career-high 28 points, Jason Richardson added 24 and Nelson had 17. Chicago won its seventh consecutive game and for the 19th time in 21 games. The Bulls also kept alive their chances of finishing with the NBA’s best record, which would give them home-court advantage throughout the playoffs. The Magic fell to 1-3 this season without center Dwight Howard. He sat out Sunday, serving his second suspension of the season after picking up his 18th technical foul. Grizzlies 111, Hornets 89 MEMPHIS, Tenn. — O.J. Mayo scored 18 points, Marc Gasol added 16 and Memphis continued its march to the postseason by beating New Orleans. Hornets All-Star guard Chris Paul was held scoreless for the first time in his career, missing all six of his field goal attempts. An 88-percent free throw shooter, Paul went to the line once and missed both

was preparing to throw the shot and announced his best throw of the year was 53-9. Moments later, Sherman heaved it 55-9. “Early on, he was struggling to find his rhythm,” Rinehart said. “He’d call me on weekends to help him out. It’s nice to see kids care and not come out just to come out. They want to get better, not just for themselves, but for the team.” “To be really good, you have to be cocky,” Sherman said. “I try to be. If you don’t have self-confidence, you’re not going to do anything.” East will enter the county meet undefeated. “It’s been a long time (since losing),” Sherman said. “I don’t want that feeling.” • Neither does Oglesby, who has been blistering his opponents in the hurdles and jumps. What’s his best event? “That’s a good question,” North coach Robert Steele smiled. “It’s hard to pick a best one.” Oglesby ran a 13.65 in the 110 hurdles on Thursday and is ready for the county meet. “There’s going to be a couple of good races,” Oglesby said. “But I’ve got confidence. They’ll challenge us. They’ll do what they’ve gotta do and we’ll do what we’ve gotta do.”

hurdlers in the state from North (Sam Starks and Oglesby) and Daishion (Barger of West Rowan). “You’ve got a highjumper that could break the county record,” he said of Rankin. “What the distance runners from South have done is incredible,” Roseman said, pointing to Michael York and Caleb O’Neal. “The shot put and discus will be so competitive,” Roseman added. “It might take 45, 46 feet just to place.” And don’t forget the speed of West, where C.J. Ellis and Tevin Gregory could challenge Morris. West could win all the relays. Just thinking about Tuesday’s county meet left Roseman — and other county coaches — shaking their heads. “It’s just incredible the amount of talent that’s going to be on that track,” Roseman said. • Roseman was gushing during his NPC meet on Thursday at South. East assistant Sean Rinehart, a former thrower himself, looked over at Sam Sherman, who

KENSETH FroM 1B tive got to Texas coming off three consecutive finishes in the top six and had been in the top 12 for every race since an accident in the season-opening Daytona 500 led to a 34th-place finish. “I felt better the last six months. Everything’s been looking up. Certainly the previous 12 months before that were frustrating for me,” said Kenseth, the 2003 Cup champion. “It’s been a long time, and we’ve had a lot of fun going to the racetrack here the last two months the last year, and the first part of this year. It feels like we’re back into a contending form.” While the season is still young, the victory at Texas pushed Kenseth up six spots to third in season points behind Edwards and Kyle Busch, who was on top before finishing 16th at Texas. Busch had led at least 151 laps in each of the last three races this season, but never got out front in Texas. Edwards finished third despite being bothered by an upset stomach from eating something his mother made him, apparently hitting a bird during the race and dealing with a loose car the entire race on a warm, windy night in Texas. Greg Biffle was fourth four Roush and teammate and polesitter David Ragan seventh, the best finish of the year for both. It was the eighth Cup victory for Roush in Texas, and his 16th overall NASCAR win there. Roush swept the weekend races with Edwards winning the Nationwide race Friday night. At the 11/2-mile, high-banked Texas track Saturday night, Kenseth started fourth and stayed at or near the front for all 501 miles

Florida honors Heisman winners cial being next to two guys that I love and admire in my coach, Steve Spurrier, and my friend, Tim Tebow. That even makes it more special for me.” Spurrier threw for more than 4,800 yards and 37 touchdowns as a three-year starter in Gainesville. His most notable play might not have even been at his position. He kicked a 40-yard field goal to beat Auburn 3027 during his senior season. CLEMSON CLEMSON, S.C. — Running backs Demont Buice and Rod McDowell both gained 100 yards and D.J. Howard rushed for 97 yards as Clemson showed off the offense of new coordinator Chad Morris in the Orange and White game on Saturday. Morris was hired from Tulsa, where his attack averaged 40 points and 500 yards last season. The Orange included Buice and McDowell defeated the White team, 25-13, in front of a crowd of about 25,000 at Death Valley. Buice and Howard each had a touchdown. Coach Dabo Swinney divided his roster and ran 130 plays in the scrimmage. Quarterback Tajh Boyd ran for one touchdown and threw for another. Boyd is expected to take over for Kyle Parker, who left after his second year to play baseball in the Colorado Rockies organization.

Gerald Henderson scored 21 points, Boris Diaw added 16 of his 20 points in the first quarter and Kwame Brown had 19 points and seven rebounds for the Bobcats, who have dropped six straight. Raptors 99, Nets 92 TORONTO — Jerryd Bayless scored 19 points, James Johnson had a season-high 18 and Toronto beat New Jersey, snapping a three-game losing streak. DeMar DeRozan and Ed Davis both scored 18 points and Julian Wright had 10 for the Raptors, who had to hold on after leading by as many as 21. Reggie Evans had 15 rebounds for Toronto, which had lost nine of 10. Brook Lopez had 35 points and 11 rebounds for the Nets, who have lost three straight and nine of 11. Sasha Vujacic, who scored 19, was the only other Nets player to reach double figures.

Starks, who is being recruited in track and basketball, agreed. “You better come to run,” he said. “Everybody’s coming to win.” For Starks, it’s many of the same faces he saw in football and basketball. “It’s that competitive spirit,” he said. “It goes from sport to sport.” • And then, there’s Salisbury, which is the defending state champ in 2A. Rankin is not a one-man show. He has plenty of help. “There will be great athletes in every facet,” Johnson said. “There are a lot of seniors in both boys and girls who have put in the time and effort over four years. It could come down to the last event.” “It’s exciting,” Roseman said. Steele agreed. For the fans, it’s a can’t-miss extravaganza. “There are real talented kids,” he said. “Anytime it’s a county meet, it’s a good meet.” So good that Perry should join the crowd to watch. His record, as well as several others, could fall. • NOTES: The field events at East will begin at 4 p.m. ... The running events are scheduled to start at 5.

while leading nine different times. What others may view as boring translated into a dominating victory. “We had such good track position and pit stops and pit strategy and qualified well, so we really never got behind, which is obviously a big advantage,” Kenseth said. “It always feels good to win no matter how you can win. More times than not, the fastest car ends up winning, and I thought that happened.” The only times Kenseth was trailing late while on the track were behind Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch when they both were out of sequence on stops and tried to stretch fuel in hopes of catching a caution. Luckily for Kenseth, there were no yellow flags at the wrong time. Kenseth surged ahead to stay ahead to stay with 13 laps to go when Busch had to make his final stop and give up a 8.2-second lead. Kenseth finished 8.315 seconds ahead of Clint Bowyer and 17 seconds in front of Edwards. Busch, who led five times for 50 laps, finished 10th. With 58 laps to go after 58 laps since his last stop, Stewart had nearly a 17-second lead over Kenseth when he made his last stop. But he was penalized for speeding on pit road. Stewart was running third until running out of fuel on the last lap and coasting across the finish line in 12th, the driverowner of the No. 14 being the last car on the lead lap. “You know, it took almost the whole race to crack the top 10, so to be in the position we were in there at the end, I guess is a good thing,” Stewart said. “But when you’re in that position and you can’t capitalize, it’s pretty frustrating. Speeding on pit road didn’t exactly help the cause either.”

The college football notebook ... GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Steve Spurrier is passing, Danny Wuerffel is getting ready to throw and Tim Tebow is, well, doing what he does best. He’s running with the ball. Florida honored its three Heisman Trophy winners with life-sized statues outside the stadium. The Gators unveiled bronze statues of Spurrier (1966), Wuerffel (1996) and Tebow (2007) during halftime of Saturday’s spring game. The thing that stood out was Tebow’s depiction. “That’s fine,” Tebow said. “You have to change it up. We can’t all be throwing.” Tebow and Wuerffel were on hand for the unveiling. Spurrier thanked his alma mater in a videotaped message. He was in Columbia, S.C., for South Carolina’s spring game. One of his daughters, Amy Moody, attended the ceremony in his place. The statues, which weigh between 1,700 and 2,000 pounds, were placed on the west side of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium near the skybox entrance. “When do you ever think growing up that you’ll have a statue somewhere where people will look at it and have great memories?” Wuerffel said. “It’s even more spe-

Is Multiple chemical sensitivity for real? Dear Dr. Gott: Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) is a crippling problem for those who suffer from it. I would like to educate people about the problem because most people think that I’m crazy or that “just getting fresh air” will resolve the problem. The effects of chemicals used in personal and laundry products act as neurotoxins on my system, resulting in neurological difficulties — diminished cognitive function, loss of equilibrium, fogging vision, etc. Local drugstores and laundrydetergent aisles are DR. PETER lethal vats of poison for GOTT MCS sufferers. I am a massage therapist and have asked clients to refrain from wearing fragrance, but I have found their use of fragrant laundry products more dangerous than cologne. In particular, dryer sheets are extremely poisonous and cannot be purged from the room just by airing it out. I urge people to investigate the toxicity of their laundry products. I react violently to these products, but I have to feel that the poisons are affecting people in ways they may not know. Clothes are in constant contact with people’s skin, which absorbs chemicals into the body. Many people complain of chronic sinus problems and headaches. Perhaps it is the environment they are creating for themselves.

Clothes dryers venting the fumes outdoors pollute the air for everyone. I am becoming a hermit and a “crazy old lady” because of MCS. I know the world can’t change because of my affliction, but maybe if people would investigate the problem of “fragrance” in their products, they might begin to search for alternatives for their own health. Ever wonder what all of those wonderful air fresheners that puff at you as you walk by are doing to your health? Please ask your readers to check the health risks of all those chemical ingredients and follow the websites regarding MCS. There are millions of sufferers. I am constantly vigilant for detoxing products just to be able to go out in public. I can’t go to movies, friends’ homes, most stores or outdoor activities with crowds. Having people come to my home and making it inhospitable is a nightmare. Dear Reader: Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) is a somewhat controversial topic. There are some who believe it is a true disease, while others argue that the immense variety of symptoms can often be explained by other, well-established disorders. From what I was able to find, there has not been much research done since the late 1990s. I did note that in a 1999 position statement by the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, the condition received a new name — idiopathic environmental intolerance. This is just the newest

in a long history of name changes, including multiple chemical sensitivity, chemical injury, chemical sensitivity, environmental illness, sick-building syndrome and more. Being unfamiliar with MCS before your letter and knowing only what I was able to learn from research, I am on the fence about this condition. The condition might be real, but not enough research has been done regarding symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. There are plenty of online sources for information, but most refer to information more than 10 years old. I invite readers to send me personal experiences and any recent research that has been done.

From good bidding to excellent defense duck, letting East hold the trick. East will return a spade, but declarer wins cheaply and plays a diamond. West is in but has no spade to lead, so South still retains a spade winner. He ends with an overtrick, not an undertrick.

BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

Malcolm Forbes, who was an avid bridge player, said, “When in doubt, duck.” That is not an attitude one would associate with him, because he loved life and adventure. But one of his words works well in today’s deal. Who should come out on top after West leads the spade eight against three no-trump? South was right to rebid two notrump, showing 1820 points, not to raise diamonds. Note that five diamonds has no play. South starts with five top tricks: one spade, one heart and three clubs. He will get a second spade trick, and could get two more in hearts, but that would get him up to only eight winners. Declarer must attack diamonds. This is an important defensive principle: When you are trying to establish a suit in which declarer has two stoppers, make him use one of them as quickly as possible — and

trick one isn’t too soon. East must not play his spade queen; he should overtake with the nine. South wins with his jack and plays a diamond, but West takes his king and leads his second spade, establishing East’s suit while he still has the diamond ace as an entry. Note that if East plays the spade queen at trick one, it is South who benefits from a

MASTERS FROM 1B

Downtown Salisbury, Inc. presents…

EARTH NIGHT OUT

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tiger Woods made a stirring charge on the front side, but he couldn’t keep it going on the back nine at Augusta National. like that, McIlroy’s four-shot lead was gone. The cheers were impossible for McIlroy to ignore. From the second green, where he was scrambling to make par, McIlroy could hear the noise ahead of him for Schwartzel’s eagles. Moments later came another roar to his right on the seventh green, where Woods stuffed one close for another birdie. Woods’ red shirt looked a little brighter. He walked a little taller. And the cheers kept coming. The biggest boom from the gallery came on the par-5 eighth, when Woods knocked in an eagle putt to reach 10 under and tie for the lead. There was no mistaking that sound, or who it was for. Over the next few minutes, more cheers could be heard from all corners of Augusta each time Woods’ score was posted on a leaderboard. He still had the back nine to play, and momentum was on his side. Not for long, though. He missed a 3-foot par putt on the 12th, failed to birdie the par-5 13th with a 7-iron for his second shot. Then, after twirling his 7iron with a shot so pure it settled 4 feet away on the par-5 15th, he missed the 4-foot eagle putt. Woods closed with a 67, his best final round ever here. But he shot a 36 on the back nine, and that doesn’t win the Masters, certainly not this one. “I got off to a nice start there and posted 31,” he said. “And then on the back nine, could have capitalized some more.”

Which shot would he like to have back? “Oh, we can’t do that,” Woods said. “We do that every week and we would go crazy, wouldn’t we?” Schwartzel finished at 13under 274 and moves to No. 11 in the world, making him the No. 1 player in South Africa. He becomes the sixth South African to win a major. “It’s been such a short time to think about what can happen. It’s a dream for me,” Schwartzel said. “It’s obviously the highlight of my golf career, by a long way. I always thought if there was one I would win, it would be this one.” For Scott and Day, it was bitter disappointment for themselves and their country. The Masters is the only major an Australian has never won, and it has become a rallying cry for so many players who watched Greg Norman endure years of heartache. Scott, who switched to a long putter in February, took the lead for the first time with a short birdie on the 14th and had the look of a winner with his tee shot to tap-in range on the 16th, and a clutch par save from the bunker on the 17th. He missed his 25-foot birdie putt on the final hole that he ran 4 feet by and settled for a 67. “I don’t think I can ask for anything more,” Scott said. “I had a putt at it at the last — not my best, but everything else was pretty good today.” Day came to life at the end with consecutive birdies that allowed him to shoot 68 and join Scott at 12-under 276.

about 12 feet on the next hole and buried his head into his forearm as the shock began to settle in. McIlroy shot 80, the highest final round by the 54-hole leader since Ken Venturi in 1956. Not since Jean Van de Velde at Carnoustie had someone blown at least a four-shot lead going into the last round of the major. So wild was this steamy afternoon that eight players had at least a share of the lead on some point during the back nine. The steady hand came from Schwartzel, whose only bogey came on the fourth hole as this Masters was just getting warmed up. He got up-and-down from behind the 15th green for birdie to briefly tie for the lead, only for Scott to stuff his tee shot into 2 feet up ahead on the par-3 16th. Schwartzel answered with a 15-foot birdie to catch Scott atop the leaderboard again. Then came the pivotal 17th, where Schwartzel made a 10foot birdie. It was the first time all day he had the lead to himself, and he finished it off in style. South Africans now have won two of the last three majors, following Louis Oosthuizen winning at St. Andrews last summer. This one came on the 50th anniversary of Gary Player becoming the first international player to win the Masters. “I am absolutely delighted for Charl and South Africa. Congratulations and very well done to him. That is how you finish like a champion!” Player said on Twitter. In so many respects, this looked more like 1986 when Jack Nicklaus charged on the back nine to win a sixth green jacket over a Hall of Fame cast of contenders. There were twice as many possibilities at this Masters, though, from Woods and former Masters champion Angel Cabrera, from Geoff Ogilvy and Luke Donald, from K.J. Choi and Bo Van Pelt, who made two eagles on the back nine. Schwartzel set the tone early when he chipped in from some 75 feet across the green for birdie on the opening hole, then holed out from the fairway on No. 3 for eagle. Just

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER Active weather will move into the eastern third of the nation Monday as an intense storm system over Minnesota lifts northeastward across Lake Superior into southern Ontario. Showers, periods of heavy rain, and thunderstorms will accompany this system, developing from parts of the Upper Mississippi Valley through the Great Lakes and parts of the Northeast. Showers in the Lower Great Lakes and Northeast will be enhanced by an associated warm front that will lift through the northern parts of the Ohio Valley and the Mid-Atlantic. Meanwhile, severe weather activity will be possible within the vicinity of an associated cold front that will extend southwestward from this system. Storms in areas from New York and Pennsylvania southwestward through the Tennessee Valley to Mississippi and Alabama may turn severe with large hail and damaging wind through the day. Behind this system, strong winds and a much cooler airmass will settle over over the Midwest. Thus, expect significantly cooler daytime highs. In the West, a cold front will produce rain and mountain snow as well as gusty winds along the coast from Washington to parts of northwestern California as it moves through the Pacific Northwest.

Buchholz gets new deal BOSTON (AP) — The Red Sox have agreed to a new contract with pitcher Clay Buchholz that will keep him in Boston an extra four years. The deal also includes club options for the 2016 and 2017 seasons.

He was also among the league leaders with 17 wins, a .708 winning percentage and a .226 batting average allowed. In his career, Buchholz is 29-23 with a 3.77 ERA.  ANAHEIM, Calif.— The Los Angeles Angels have optioned relievers Kevin Jepsen and Michael Kohn to TripleA Salt Lake and recalled right-hander Tyler Chatwood to make his major league debut tonight.
