Aldi store leads the way at new shopping center BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — Developers could break ground on a new shopping center as early as this fall. Childress Klein Properties plans to develop Westgate Commons at the intersection of Jake Alexander Boulevard and Brenner Avenue. A new Aldi grocery store is the first confirmed retailer. “It’s a very important intersection in Salisbury, and we are committed to developing a first-class shopping complex,” said Chris Thomas, a partner with Childress Klein.
Childress Klein purchased the 15.4-acre tract of vacant land bound by Jake Alexander Boulevard, Brenner Avenue and Milford Hills Road in 2008 from Livingstone College. Aldi will buy about 2 acres from Childress Klein for a freestanding, 18,761-square-foot supermarket, said Todd Bonnett, Aldi real estate director. The developer has several additional parcels available for freestanding businesses and opportunities for attached retail buildings, Thomas said. “We are working with other prospects for portions of it,” he said.
What’s special here? The intersection of Brenner Avenue and Jake Alexander Boulevard attracted developers because so many commuters pass by twice a day, said Chris Thomas of Childress Klein
Thomas declined to name potential tenants but said the site offers flexibility and can serve retailers, medical facilities and office needs. Development of the site stalled because of the recession. Most of the triangle-shaped site can be developed, although por-
The site is also close to several corporate headquarters, including Food Lion, as well as colleges and the hospital, he said. Shoppers will be able to enter the center from either Brenner or Jake.
tions will be set aside for stormwater management and internal roads, he said. Thomas said the developer has been interested in buying additional land from Livingstone on the other side of Jake, where

ECHOES OF CIVIL WAR REVERBERATE Security
concerns grow over budget cuts Transportation Museum may lose police funding BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
SPENCER — The N.C. Transportation Museum property once again could become a “cocaine highway” if the state doesn’t pay Spencer police officers to patrol the historic landmark at night, the Spencer police chief says. And unarmed museum security guards could be in danger working alone on the museum grounds, Chief Michael James said in a letter to Spencer Town Manager Larry Smith. “I am convinced that crime, including vandalism, drug activity and larceny, will increase with a lower police presence there,” James said. Due to state budget cuts, JAMES the N.C. Division of State Historic Sites has eliminated funding for a $26,256 annual contract between the museum and Spencer police to provide nighttime security, effective May 31. The museum borders East Spencer and has served as a cut-through. “The criminals and undesirables to and from East Spencer will quickly learn that Spencer police no longer perform foot patrols and building checks, and they once again will

150th anniversary prompts reflection BY BRIAN HICKS The Post and Courier of Charleston, S.C.

SALISBURY — Friend and fellow motorcyclist Roy Surratt said Carolyn Motley was “always ready at the drop of a hat to go for a ride.” Sunday afternoon, Motley passed by his house on her motorcycle on the way to visit friends and her son. “Then the next thing I know, I’m getting a phone call saying she was killed in an accident,” Surratt said Monday. “I was just in shock for the rest of the night.” Motley, 57, died from inMONTGOMERY juries sustained in the Sunday evening crash on Sherrills Ford Road.

FROM 1a begin to use the museum as a meeting place for drug transactions and as a place to commit acts of vandalism such as breaking out window panes,” James said. A single past incident of vandalism cost $40,000, he said. Spencer aldermen at 7 tonight will consider a resolution asking the state to resume funding for the security contract to protect “both life and property” at the museum. The state had no choice but to eliminate money for the contract between the museum and police, one of the priciest agreements funded by the Division of State Historic Sites, Director Keith Hardison said. The division has discontinued virtually all contract services, from security to pest control, he said. During an already tight budget year, the division was told by the State Budget Office a few months ago to cut another 2.5 percent, Hardison said. “That doesn’t sound like much,” he said. But because the directive came halfway through the fiscal year, in reality state divisions were cutting 5 percent of their remaining budgets, he said. “This was particularly difficult for us, and as a result we’ve had to greatly reduce spending on a number of fronts, including the cancelation of almost all contract services,” Hardison said. The state gave the police two months’ notice — more time than required, Hardison said. Taxpayer dollars will fund the contract through April, he said.
CHARGED FROM 1a Road, Mocksville, is charged with misdemeanor death by vehicle and driving while license revoked. He was released after posting a $10,000 bond. Surratt said he knew something had to be off when he heard about the crash, since Motley was raised on the back of her father’s Indian motorcycles. And in the past two years, he and Motley had ridden around 11,000 miles together. “She is extremely careful, we had no near-misses,” he said. Surratt met Motley through his son and her grandson — they were good neighborhood friends growing up.
After that, the N.C. Transportation Museum Foundation, a private nonprofit that supports the museum, will pay for one month of police protection with private dollars. “There was simply not enough money to continue through the end of the fiscal year, which we had hoped to do,” Hardison said. The state did not include money for police protection at the museum in next year’s budget, which begins July 1. Two museum security guards who normally work during the day will take over after-hours patrols. “I’m very concerned that they will have security guards working there around the clock, but not sworn law enforcement officers,” James told the Post. “I fear for the safety of their security personnel.” He said Spencer police have made numerous arrests on museum property, including drug-related crimes. Most people arrested had concealed weapons, he said. Hardison said the guards will be safe. Spencer police have provided supplemental protection at the museum, he said, but the facility’s basic security plan remains in place and effective. “The more security you have, the better,” he said. “But you can only afford what you can afford.” The guards and various alarm systems will protect the property, he said. Types of crimes that occur on museum property include vandalism and malicious mischief, Hardison said. “We’ve not experienced, to my knowledge, any violent crimes there,” he said.

SHOPPING FROM 1a Brenner deadends, but would not comment on progress of a deal. Aldi’s site plan has been approved by the city, and the company is submitting construction plans, Bonnett said. The company needs to address a few issues with water and sewer utility plans, City Planner Preston Mitchell said. Once those
technical issues are settled, Aldi can pursue approval from the county for building plans, Mitchell said. Childress Klein may need approval from the city as well, depending on the design of the rest of the shopping center, he said. Potentially, the developer could fit several mid-sized box stores on the property, Mitchell said. Examples of mid-sized box stores are Old Navy and Marshall’s at the Lowe’s shopping center.

Kannapolis to cut teaching positions Budget woes also reduce staff members’ salaries BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
KANNAPOLIS — A total of 118 people will be affected by the Kannapolis City Schools system’s reduction plan. The plan slashes 26 teachers and 61 non-certified positions such as teacher assistants, custodial and office support. These are the first lay offs the district has experienced since recessionary spending began three years ago. Eighteen non-certified staff members as well as 13 certified including teachers and administrators and will face reduced pay from new schedules. The Kannapolis School Board approved the plan Monday as submitted by Superintendent Dr. Pam Cain.

A dump truck delivers fill at 1414 S. Fulton St. The state paid to remove fuel tanks as part of an environmental improvement program. A groundwater sample from one of the two monitoring wells on the site indicated contaminants exceeding allowable levels. Progress Environmental has been working since last year to excavate the contaminated soils on site and introduce oxygenating compounds, which encourage the degradation of petroleum in both the remaining soil and the groundwater, Akroyd said. Lane Yates, a developer who bought the property about 10 years ago, said state officials contacted him and asked if they could remove the buried fuel tanks, as they are throughout North Carolina. Yates said he was told when he bought the property the tanks were grandfathered and didn’t have to be removed, but he was happy to have the state excavate them. And at no cost to him. “When an opportunity comes like this, you take advantage of it,” Yates said. Contamination at the site was first discovered after the Stanback Company purchased the property in 1992 for the purpose of constructing a manufacturing facility, Akroyd said. During investigation of the property, two tanks were discovered and the Stanback Company had them removed. The tanks were never registered, and the former property owner could not be located, she said. Two years ago, the program became part of the State Lead program and four more tanks were removed. Testing showed additional contaminants. Without stimulus funds, problems at the site may not have been addressed for some time, Akroyd said. Yates said he’s had some interest in the site as an ATM location.
SALISBURY — Contamination from old fuel tanks once buried near South Fulton Street poses little risk to the surrounding neighborhood, a state official says. Stimulus dollars are paying to remove the tanks and treat contaminated soil and groundwater at 1414 S. Fulton St., the former site of an old gas station across from Curt & Geri’s Dairy Bar. The lot has been vacant for many years. “The site is considered low-risk,” said Cathy Akroyd, public information officer for the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Waste Management. As long as people nearby are drinking city water and not well water, there is no cause for concern, Akroyd said. The site is near the entrance to the Fulton Heights neighborhood. “By excavating the contaminated soil and introducing oxygenating compounds into the excavation, we hope to reduce the contamination levels to such that they will naturally degrade to levels below all regulatory limits,” she said. It may take some time, but the site eventually could be available for commercial or industrial use, she said. In November, Progress Environmental of Winston-Salem conducted an investigation on behalf of the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act, the federal stimulus program. Soil sampling and groundwater monitoring revealed contamination on the site exceeding the regulatory guidelines. Soil samples showed levels of gasoline and diesel fuel as high as 8,170 parts per million, Akroyd said. The levels exceeded both the Soil-toGroundwater Maximum Soil Contaminant Concentrations, as well as the Residential Maximum Soil Contaminant Contact reporter Emily Ford at 704Concentrations, she said. 797-4264.
Timeline of events 1992 Stanback Company purchases property and removes two fuel tanks. Soil contamination confirmed — 363.9 tons removed.

Teacher resigns after parole violation arrest BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — A Southeast Middle School teacher resigned Monday morning after being jailed for a parole violation over the weekend. Antonio Demont Bagley, 36, was arrested and placed in the Rowan County Detention Center on Friday. Bagley, who was working as an exceptional children’s teacher, is serving 36 months probation. He was convicted of felony identity fraud/theft in Cabarrus County in 2009, according to the N.C. Department of Corrections website. He has been employed with the Rowan-Salisbury School System since February 2002. BAGLEY Rita Foil, spokeswoman for the district, said the school system does require criminal background checks. “When Mr. Bagley was hired by our district in 2002, everything was in order,” she said in an email to the Post Foil said the district had “no knowledge of the arrest or conviction.” When asked about the school system’s protocol for handling criminal offenses, Foil deferred comment to Board of Education policy regarding criminal record review. The policy states that any employee who is charged with or convicted of a crime excluding minor traffic offenses must notify the Human Resources Department immediately within five days.

Carter said Talbert gave him his first skateboard when he was 14 years old. “Then I got better and it kind of burned him up a bit,” he joked. He said they always had a friendly competition going on. “We were really big into cheap-shotting each other, too,” he said. About 6:30 p.m. Friday, Carter said, he looked at his cell phone and noticed he had about 20 missed calls. “We rushed to Charlotte,” he said. “He was gone by the time we got there.” Carter said Talbert’s casket is just what he would have wanted: pin-striped with a flaming tribal cross across the top. “Brandon was flaming everything,” he said. “I think he carved flames on his dad’s computer desk, and flamed I don’t know how many casts of mine. “The kid loved flames.

FRIEND FROM 3a went there. Brandon immediately became my friend, introducing me to everyone. He never let me have the time to feel out of place or left out because he just assumed that I was immediately part of the group. Then there were times that we had special events, like singing Christmas carols to the shut-ins. He would sing to the best of his ability but he was never a straightlaced kind of guy, he had to have some fun with it, so he would make faces or sway back and forth. There was never a time that he was not doing something to make others laugh or feel good about themselves. The memories simply begin there, however. The most recent memories of something major that we shared was Confirmation Sunday last May. For two years, we went to confirmation classes on certain Saturdays, usually one per month. We learned about our religion, about the Bible and mainly about how we can get through everyday life by knowing these things. There were three individ-

Rather than requiring a project to be done, we helped with the entire service. Keep in mind that Confirmation Sunday was the morning after Brandon’s senior prom. Brandon decided that he was going to pull an all nighter. He even arrived to church wearing his tuxedo from the previous night. I kept telling him how nervous I was about talking in front of everyone, so during the service he pretty much pushed me out in front when it was my turn to speak because he thought I would chicken out. He was a bright, lively teenager who accepted everyone as is, no questions asked. I was speaking to a member of our youth group Sunday, and he said something that has stuck with me: “Brandon was the one person that could do something loud and crazy to make us excited about almost anything.” Those words alone describe why he was such a wonderful friend.

AFFORDABLE Landis board looks at options to balance budget CREMATIONS 704-633-0059 LANDIS — In order to balance the budget, the town board will look at contracting out its sanitation services, which primarily affect garbage and recycling. The board is in the midst of its 2011-12 fiscal year budget process and plan to meet until they’ve reached a consensus and a balanced budget. The board met Monday. Town staff provided seven options that would created a balanced budget. Right now the budget is short $178,000, which is lower than last year’s shortfall of $500,000, said Town Manager Reed Linn. The option that was automatically stricken was a tax increase. “I don’t see where we can do that,” said Mayor Dennis Brown. The tax rate in Landis is 40 cents per $100 valuation and an increase would bring the amount to .4743 cents per $100. In order to be revenue neutral, the tax rate would need to be set in order to generate the same amount of money in an upcoming fiscal year as the tax rate did this year. Revenue neutral sounds good, but the residents pay more taxes, said Alderman Tony Hilton. The town lost some of its tax base, the result of a pop-
ulation shift. The projected population compared to the town’s last population count saw a few less people in the town. “That would affect some revenues coming in,” Linn said. He said the tax collection rate dropped and the tax base dropped, which is a substantial loss. Furlough days, which the town opted to do last year and saved $60,000, were discussed, but not decided upon. One choice was to reduce the work force by laying off three to five employees. “We have not targeted any employees,” Linn said. However, if the board went with the reduction in staff option, employees in the police, fire, administration, streets and sanitation departments could be affected. “Our employees have been really loyal to us. I would not want to see a cut in employees,” said alderman Roger Safrit. Other board members agreed with Safrit. The board instructed Linn to immediately advertise for contractors who could take over the sanitation services. If the town contracted the sanitation services to an outside company, it could mean loss of at least three employees. One employee is nearing retirement, but Linn said he was not certain if this em-
ployee wanted to retire or would accept an early retirement package. He said he would ask. If the town contracted out its garbage services, it would keep its current recycling contract with S.H.A.R.K.S. Recycling, of which the town has a fiveyear contract. The board hopes that if they do indeed contract with a company to provide sanitation services, it could hire the town’s employees. When the board was considering this last year, a company that showed interest said it could definitely hire town employees.
In other business The Landis board of aldermen also: • Discussed whether a plan was in place to pay for handheld radios for police and fire when the system goes from analog to digital. Fire Division Chief Art Delaney said the fire department’s switch over is being considered right along with the county. Police Chief Brian McCoy said the switch has been a topic of discussion at many police chiefs’ meetings, but no actual figures exist that could estimate how much it would cost the town. Linn suggested the money the police department receives back for court fees could generate between $2,000 to
“There is no guarantee,” Hilton said. But the board agreed they could ask any potential contractor to consider hiring town employees. Another money saving alternative is to sell surplus property, however Linn told the board he didn’t believe it would help in this year’s budget. The town staff was instructed to look at cuts to all departments. The board’s next budget session is 6 p.m. April 19 in the board meeting room.

“After that we were one and two, always hanging, going and doing things together,” Adkins said. “Brandon matured into a great guy from freshman year up to graduation, and so on. “I’ve never met someone so positive, even in the worst of times. No matter the day, time, place or situation, he always found a way to make it fun.” Adkins said Talbert’s family was also a big part of his life. “I knew why he was the way he was after being around them for some time,” he said. “They raised one great young man.” Although Talbert’s life was cut short, he lived a good one, always making others smile, his friends said. “You couldn’t really stay mad at him,” Carter said. “He had this little smile, this little grin. He’d just hit you with it and you couldn’t stay mad.” Adkins said he can’t understand why Talbert was taken so soon. “It’s hard to understand why someone of such a young age has to have their life taken from them,” he said. “It’s unfair the way things had to be. “Brandon had a bright future ahead of him. He impacted my life tremendously. If I turned to someone, it was him. “He will forever be in our hearts and forever be remembered.”

$4,000 a year, which could help. • Approved keeping the pool fees the same. Town Manager Reed Linn said if the town increased its fees, then likely they would see less people at the pool. • Approved the mowing contract to Pro Green, who already mows the town’s grass. This company was not the lowest bidder with $48,000, but did have all of the requested bid information. Public Works Director Steve Rowland also vouched for their quality work when the board had some concern with not going with the lowest bidder. The difference between the lowest bidder was $5,500. Alderman Tony Hilton did not vote in favor of Pro Green.

members of the 1st uS artillery Regiment company H, Jacob dinkelaker, Bob Wolfhope, Joel Hummel and nathaniel Little eat grit cakes as they serve defending Fort Sumter. Patterson called him, asked if he knew anyone who could show him where the old fort was. “That would be me,” Burbage said. On the eve of the Sesquicentennial, the two men rode together to the fort to study and remember it all. The Battle of Secessionville came at a trying time for Charleston. The Union had blockaded the harbor and 50,000 or more troops had landed south of the city at Port Royal. The North desperately wanted to take the city where secession was sparked and the war began. In June of 1862, the Union began landing troops on the far side of James Island in hopes of bypassing the formidable Fort Sumter and moving one step closer to the city. A series of smaller battles climaxed in Secessionville on the morning of June 16. Before dawn, 6,000 Union troops of the 8th Michigan charged the fort with orders to attack with bayonets; probably a decision meant to save ammunition. Some carried loaded weapons anyway. The big artillery gun of Company I split the 8th. The 79th New York was supposed to back up the 8th Michigan, but they were late. Instead, the 22nd South Carolina showed up just as the men in blue attacked Tower Battery. The battle fell to sloppy hand-to-hand combat in a hardfought battle. The Confeder-
Re-enactors gather along the railing of the Sumter tour boat. ates repulsed three waves of attacking Union troops. Even the staunchest Southerners tipped their hats to the bravery of their Northern opponents that day, but in the end it was a Confederate victory, and an impressive one. Barely 2,000 Southern troops fended off 6,000 Northern soldiers. The South lost about 50 men, including Shuler; the North lost twice as many. “It’s one of the most overlooked battles of the war,” Patterson said. “If the Union had won, and it was so close they could have, it would have changed the war,” Burbage said. “Charleston might have fallen sooner, and the war might have ended sooner.”
Today, that is all history — history that men such as Burbage and Patterson will not forget. For them — like many people who study the war — it is not a political issue, it is simply an important chapter in their families’ past, as it is for so many others. And that is why so many will pay such close attention to the 150th anniversary of The War. Today, the battlefield of Secessionville is quiet — even peaceful, Burbage notes. We remember the Civil War so that it stays that way, he said. “We all know it should have never happened, but it did,” Burbage said, putting his arm around Patterson. “We’re all Americans, and we need to stay that way.”

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Veteran Civil War re-enactor Louis Varnell of Tennessee can play both sides of the conflict, sometimes wearing Union blue, sometimes Confederate gray. But picking a side for this morning's bombardment of Fort Sumter was an easy choice — U.S. Army blue — so he could be on the receiving end of the thunderous rebel cannon fire expected to rattle windows across Charleston Harbor early this morning and throughout the day. “The pivotal point is Fort Sumter,” Varnell said Monday, while safely ensconced inside the island fortress's thick walls. “There is no question which one I was going to choose.” Varnell and some of the two-dozen Union re-enactors camped inside the fort this week say their assignment is akin to holding a winning lottery ticket. Of the thousands of Civil War re-enactors active in the U.S. These selected few will watch the re-created battle unfold by seeing the same flash and smoke booms Union Maj. Robert Anderson and his defenders saw in 1861. The main difference from the 1861 men? “The added comfort of knowing there isn’t a projectile following and that I’d have to run for cov-
er,” Varnell said. Several of the men camped at the fort Monday absolutely refused to break character ahead of today's bombardment. Mark Silas Tackitt of Seattle, who is playing Anderson, even had a man dressed as Confederate “sympathizer” tossed from the fort at musket point until he removed a Jefferson Davis button from his lapel. Moments later, Tackitt repeated the Union’s pre-war point of view: that any differences with the South must be settled in “Washington City, not under force of arms.” He added that he still considered the Union whole up to that point, and that none of the 33 stars from the giant American flag of 1861 flying above the fort had been removed. Other re-enactors said they were trying to make their Fort Sumter experience as real and as isolating as they can to be in line with what Anderson and his 85 men faced on April 12, albeit on a smaller scale. Three miles across the harbor from Fort Sumter, a battery of 11 Confederate guns is set up to deliver multiple salvos in today’s attack. Two rebels in charge of one of the guns also refused to break character as they talked of finally getting to fire on the trapped Yankees. “If they just surrender the fort, we wouldn’t have to fire a shot,” said Chuck Drye of Monroe, N.C.

point lost on neither man. “Yours could’ve shot mine,” Burbage notes. Today, Charleston and the rest of the country commemorate the beginning of the American Civil War 150 years ago with a series of events around the Lowcountry. It all begins with a fireworks burst over Fort Sumter, site of the war’s first battle. The remembrance will continue for four years. It is a time for the country to reflect on its most divisive, violent history, to honor the memory of those who fought and more than 600,000 countrymen who died in the conflict, many of them neighbors or even brothers. Burbage and Patterson have been doing this for years. They have traced their ancestors and found that the two — one Confederate, one Union — met on the battlefield that is now the Fort Lamar Heritage Preserve. The preserve is a small state park on a quiet road on this island. The remains of the earthworks are now grown over with trees, but it’s not hard to tell that something happened here once. “The feeling you get just being here, you can’t put it into words,” Patterson said. Yet, “people drive by here every day and have no idea what happened here.” Burbage has been fascinated by the war since he was a boy and it consumes much of his free time. He is a member of the state Hunley Commission, and has served as state commander of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Patterson got interested in this history in 1985, when his father died. He found a letter among his dad’s belongings that was written by a young man describing the time he landed on Hilton Head. With years of research, Patterson compiled a biography of his great-greatgreat aunt’s son, William H. Aitkens. “I’ve often said I wanted to re-trace some of his footsteps,” Patterson said. “This is the first step.” He found Burbage’s name on the Internet as part of a Secessionville re-enactment.

Kannapolis hears comments on Center City Master Plan BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com
KANNAPOLIS – After several weeks of feedback from citizens and business owners, the first public comments on the Kannapolis Center City Master Plan are in. At Monday’s Kannapolis City Council meeting, those comments boiled down to two key points: Preserve competitive zoning and attract more businesses to downtown. Planning Director Ben Warren said that the public’s input has led to several suggested changes to the master plan. If and when it is approved by the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council, the plan will become a policy that shapes future decisions. One of the suggestions that got many comments is a proposed pedestrian tunnel underneath the city’s busy railroad line. Norfolk Southern’s tracks divide Kannapolis, offering a potential hazard to pedestrians. Warren and City Manager Mike Legg discussed the potential to find funding for such a tunnel. Warren showed photos and discussed a similar tunnel at Elon University, built as part of a joint partnership between the school and the N.C. Railroad Company.
Legg said there was potential for a similar partnership which would reduce the city’s cost, should such a tunnel be built. Not everyone loves the idea. Business and Community Affairs Director Irene Sacks said that residents commenting on the proposal online were concerned that such a tunnel might be used by graffiti artists. Sacks said 193 people filled out an online survey about the proposed plan. Some parts of the plan got more attention than others. Many said they felt the city should focus on repurposing empty buildings in Cannon Village. But there are challenges to any plan to change the face of the city’s center. Many of the buildings that make up downtown Kannapolis are owned or managed by Castle & Cooke and Atlantic American Properties. Those companies, in turn, are owned by David Murdock, developer of the N.C. Research Campus. While Warren said the city couldn’t control the actions of its property owners, there is room for public/private partnerships to help market and grow downtown as a family destination and business center. Such an association – like Downtown Salisbury, Inc. in that city – might serve as om-

budsman for businesses and the community. Sacks said some survey respondents were concerned about proposed zoning changes and how they might affect what they can do with their properties. Proposed changes in zoning, especially along the southern end of downtown between Dale Earnhardt Boulevard and Main Street, drew fire from property owners. Warren said that changing the zoning to residential might wipe out the investments of those who bought former houses along Dale Earnhardt Boulevard when the N.C. Research Campus was announced. “The new recommendation is that those properties be zoned from Center City back to Office and Institutional,” he said. That would allow the houses currently used as residences to remain so, while also allowing small offices and businesses along that stretch of road. Warren said there should be more efforts to get those people to come to downtown to eat and shop when they come to the city for events. Another proposal includes trying to attract a museum or other attraction, such as a branch museum of Discovery Place. For example, Discovery Place Kids opened in

Huntersville last year, attracting many families and school groups downtown. Warren said that a scientific museum, or perhaps an attraction building on the Research Campus’ science focus, would be a boon to downtown. But Sacks said that the idea got low ratings from citizens, who instead suggested that the city should attract more commercial businesses. Sacks also said the city had gotten more than 40 responses from citizens who would be interested in serving on the committee that will eventually discuss how to implement these changes. “They would have the job also of providing ... updates and feedback to city council and also to update the plan, be sure it stays relevant and make updates and revisions to the plan as time goes forward,” Warren said. Council member Roger Haas said that the question of who to attract downtown first — businesses or people who would visit and support them — must be settled before any strategy is chosen. “It’s going to be very different based on what we choose to do,” Haas said. Warren said that was a good thing about an attraction

tioner to finish due diligence on the property. Councilman Randy Cauthen asked what the cost to the city would be of annexing the land, since it would not generate tax revenues as a private religious institution. City Manager Mike Legg said those figures would be available at the next meeting. But, Legg said, having a private school in Kannapolis would add to the city’s image, while it would also generate revenues from property taxes. Water and sewer fees would also provide revenue to the city, Legg said following the meeting. Gary Knox, real estate broker working on the deal with the Diocese of Charlotte, said the school would house grades 912 and would have about 120 students when it opened. • After a unanimous vote, the council went into closed session to discuss personnel matters.

They then voted unanimously to continue that hearing until the April 25 meeting. Doing so without closing the hearing or tabling the request means the petitioner does not have to re-advertise the public hearing.

Civil War Anniversary
TUESDAY, APRIL 12, 2011 • 7A
Old times not forgotten: Civil War at 150 BY CHRISTOPHER SULLIVAN Associated Press
A hush fell over the crowd filling the elegant hall in downtown Richmond, Va. The vote was about to be announced, and a young staffer of the Museum of the Confederacy balanced his laptop across his knees, poised to get out the news as soon as it was official. Who would be chosen “Person of the Year, 1861”? Five historians had made impassioned nominations, and the audience would now decide. Most anywhere else, the choice would be obvious. Who but Abraham Lincoln? But this was a vote in the capital of the rebellion that Lincoln put down, sponsored by a museum dedicated to his adversary. How would Lincoln and his war be remembered in this place, in our time? A century and a half have passed since Lincoln’s crusade to reunify the United States. The North and the South still split deeply on many issues, not least the conflict they still call by different names. All across the bloodstained arc where the Civil War raged, and beyond, Americans are deciding how to remember. For the next four years, we will mark the sesquicentennial at scores of crossroads whose names have become a bitter historical shorthand: Fort Sumter, which launched the war on April 12, 1861, and later Antietam, Shiloh, Vicksburg, Gettysburg, and so many others, all the way to Appomattox. We’ll reflect on more than 600,000 combatants who died, we’ll debate the causes, we’ll talk about slavery’s legacy. Through the years, each Civil War anniversary has mirrored our nation at that point in time. At first, remembering was forgetting, an occasion to bring former foes together to shake hands. Nostalgia for the so-called Lost Cause of the antebellum South defined many observances — even at the Civil War centennial in the early 1960s, ironically coinciding with the civil rights movement. And what does today’s anniversary tell us? In search of answers, an Associated Press reporter embarked on a tour through one scarred swath of the fighting grounds — from Manassas, Va., where the war’s harsh terms first became clear, to ruins still standing along Union Gen. William T. Sherman’s fiery march through Georgia, which put the outcome beyond doubt. Conversations along the way — with scholars, regular folks, Southerners, Northerners, blacks, whites — suggest we’ve matured about the war. It’s a commemoration, not a celebration, this time. What we’re recollecting now is the Civil War AND emancipation, many people say. Yes, there have been secession balls right out of “Gone with the Wind,” but the viewpoint of the 4 million enslaved Americans is part of every serious observance. And one more conclusion: This fight isn’t really past. Even after 150 years, it holds us still. • • • Clotted interstates carry you to Manassas, but it’s a surprisingly quick run from the heart of Washington, D.C. In July 1861 — just weeks after the Confederates took Fort Sumter, and Lincoln responded with a call for 75,000 volunteers — Manassas would be the first real test of the opposing armies. Some spectators ventured out from the capital for a look and a picnic on what began as a fine day, expecting the rebels to be quickly dispatched. Instead, they witnessed what became a Confederate rout. “Turn back!” cried Union soldiers in full flight. “We are whipped!” This war, it suddenly became clear, would be deadly earnest. And at Manassas today, it becomes clear that people still care. Tens of thousands are expected in July for commemorative events. On a recent chilly day, a family pulled jackets tighter as they crossed the battlefield. All the way from Denmark, Per Moller came with his wife and young son for a vacation, with stops from Louisiana to here, to see where Americans from North and South struggled. Conjuring the fratricide, Moller shook his head, saying, “They spoke the same lan-

It was in an auditorium near there that a few hundred people gathered for the Museum of the Confederacy’s nominations for 1861 “Person of the Year.” One author proposed P.G.T. Beauregard, the general in charge at both Fort Sumter and Manassas, who gave the South two early victories. Another scholar named Kentucky Gov. Beriah Magoffin, saying his efforts keeping that vital border state neutral, and out of the Confederacy, may have tipped the historical scales. Of course, Lincoln was nominated. And there were two other eloquent pleas for support. Dr. Lauranett Lee, curator of African-American history at the Virginia Historical Society, nominated the enslaved blacks who made their way to Union lines. Union officers reasoned that, since they were considered property, they could be taken like anything else being used to support the enemy. They became seized “contraband,” and many would eventually aid the Union’s ultimate victory and reshape the future for black Americans. Glancing at the other panelists, Lee noted, “Had it not been for the actions of the ‘contraband,’ I would not be where I am today.” The last nomination came from historian James I. Robertson Jr., who said the person of that pivotal year was the Virginia volunteer. This rank-and-file soldier was typically not a “fire-eating” secessionist, but a small farmer grimly determined to resist what he considered invaders. Robertson told the story of one such, and quoted his tender letters home before he succumbed to wounds suffered at Manassas. “He died to protect that little parcel of farmland in the mountains,” said Robertson, his mellifluous Old Dominion accent bringing nods in the crowd. And now the vote: Audience ballots were marked and tallied. And S. Waite Rawls III, president of the museum, rose to announce the results. The vote was close, but the winner in the rebellion’s capital, 150 years later? “The audience has chosen Abraham Lincoln ...” This was news. Leo Rohr of the museum marketing staff instantly announced it in a tweet.
In this undated Civil War photograph, a former slave, center, serving as a soldier in uniform and receiving regular army pay, stands with other Federal soldiers at the Army of the Potomac winter headquarters near Fredericksburg, Va. The log hut serves as a mess house for the regiment.
• • • Not everyone feels caught up in the war, even where it was fought. On the haunting battlefield at Cold Harbor, just outside Richmond, Wayne Herring was completing his usual three-mile jog at a recent twilight. Trails he circled were the scene of brutal trench fighting and sniper exchanges in 1864 that left as many as 18,000 casualties. But Herring doesn’t come here because he’s a Civil War buff. “It’s just peace and quiet,” he said. Nor does Shirley Ragland spend much time thinking about the war. She lives about an hour’s drive from Cold Harbor in Farmville. It had its war history, but her story picks up a century later. “I was in the eighth grade,” she explained, “and the schools closed.” After public schools were ordered desegregated in the Brown vs. Board of Education decision, localities across the South tried to thwart implementation. Prince Edward County, where Farmville is the seat, closed all of its public schools rather than integrate. Starting in 1959, they were shut for five years, even as the centennial of emancipation was celebrated. (White students attended racially exclusive private academies.) Hundreds of black children were placed with families and schools far from home. Ragland went to Washington, D.C., then in the second year to Philadelphia, later to New York. For other students, though, schooling “just stopped.”
Today she remains alert for lingering prejudice, but also hopeful. The county board, she noted, passed a resolution of reconciliation a few years ago. Farmville is near Appomattox, and many tourists stop in search of history. With a halfsmile, Ragland said, “And here I am standing right in front of them — living history.” • • • We move southward into North Carolina, where many battle sites attest to the war’s harsh legacy. Another kind of memorial is found off Exit 177 from Interstate 85: Stagville, a restored plantation, where 900 slaves once worked. Some of its land today holds high-tech corporate parks. A state-of-the-art vaccine manufacturing plant’s entrance is visible from that of Stagville, which is used now for conferences. “When we met, our very first meeting, we met at Stagville,” said professor Freddie Parker, referring to the state’s Civil War sesquicentennial commission, of which he is a member. He was speaking in his office in the history department at North Carolina Central University, a historically black school nearby in Durham. Besides his Ph.D., Parker brought to the commission his personal history, including enslaved ancestors. He told of how the commission determined to offer “a balanced commemoration,” recognizing all viewpoints. When staff members created a website, groups of Confederate descendants objected that their side was underrepresented, which led to more discussion, some of it heated,
among commission members. “I remember ... an older individual, every time something came up about the South, the North, he put it out there: ‘The War of Aggression.’ And everybody knew his position.” But as the meetings continued, and members listened to each other’s side of things, the man began to join with those pushing, for instance, for an official state memorial to black struggles, too. “He was one of the primary ones ... And tears in his eyes. He made a complete flip.” And how does Parker process this? “That people are continuing to evolve. People are not static, stagnant beings,” he said. Still, it will take the nation time “before we get to the point where we are less emotional, where we’re less polarized” about the war. How much more time? “A hundred and 50 years?” he ventured. • • • Personal stories are never far from the sweeping historical narrative of the Civil War. Individuals come into focus again and again: in an act of rash courage that helps turn a battle, in wives’ journals detailing homefront hardships, in the explanations soldiers give loved ones for fighting. East Tennessee saw individualism play out in deep divisions over the war. The region rejected secession when it came to a vote and raised Union units who fought Tennessee Confederates. The war’s untidy complexities delight Steve Gipson. He’s a history buff, enter-
tainer and dreamer, and awhile back he wrote a play to try to capture what happened in this corner of the Civil War. In it, a Union officer, camped not far from where he grew up, encounters his sister, who’s on a mission to deliver medicine — to rebel troops. Gipson and his wife Allison perform the twoactor play, “Granddaddy’s Watch,” at their dinner theater near Chattanooga. Their show — a cross between a he said/she said comedy routine and a lecture — somehow works as both entertainment and education. “People have been dumbed down on history,” Gipson said. “We’re not trying to restart the war or relive it. We’re trying to understand.” • • • From near Chattanooga, the Union army took aim at the rail and commercial hub of Atlanta, which Sherman would set alight in 1864. Firsthand signs of actual destruction are rare now — but outside of Atlanta, you come to Sweetwater Creek and what remains of a five-story textile mill, which supplied cloth for Confederate forces. In July 1864, Sherman’s troops burned the mill. Today, wind whispers through the forlorn brick ruins. On a recent day, Betty Fugate, a native Georgian, brought out her grandsons, Caleb and Barrett Clark, on spring break from New Hampshire, for the learning experience — “Why it was destroyed — that it produced things that helped the Southern soldiers” — but also for exercise on a pretty day. Ruin and renewal: If that’s a theme of any reflection on the Civil War, then Atlanta manifests it as well as anywhere. After Sherman’s “march to the sea,” after Reconstruction, after Jim Crow and the tragedies and triumphs of the civil rights movement, the burned city grew into an economic powerhouse and, among other things, a prime job destination nowadays for black college graduates. When the Olympics came in 1996, Atlantans could laugh at a T-shirt caricaturing Sherman with the caption “The original torchbearer.” • • • Our trip through the war must end by looping back — to Appomattox, which we passed en route south and which was where, for practical purposes, the Civil War ended. The surrender documents were signed in a handsome porticoed house, which was disassembled after the war. Rebuilding was delayed, and much of the original material rotted

The wine that was served was ordinary at best, and I couldn’t help but feel slighted throughout the evening. When I mentioned it to my wife on the way home, it led to an argument. My wife claims that we were not asked to bring anything and that the wine was a gift. She told me to suck it up. I say, come on, if I have to lower my standards to that degree, our friendship with this couple will not develop, and we need to educate them a little bit in the social graces. I would chalk it up to a lesson learned and move on, but this is an important relationship to my wife.

Dear Amy: I am wondering what your take is on married women who wear tops that allow men to see a little more of their breasts than I think they should. Am I just a prude thinking it’s not right for a married woman to wear something that will allow the men she works with to see her bra or breasts each time she bends forward or reaches for something? I always assume that women who wear attentiongetting tops are single and looking for a man. Am I totally wrong? — Curious Dear Curious: I have news for you. Sometimes, women who wear turtleneck tops and thick-soled shoes are “single and looking.” It is obvious that you don’t like the current body-hugging clothing styles. But you shouldn’t make any particular assumptions about these women based on their clothing choices — other than the fact that they obviously think they look awesome.

Dear Amy: My mother is 84 years old. Two years ago she had hip surgery. My 40-year-old son hasn’t worked in more than four years because he won’t look for a job. My sister and I both work, and because my son does nothing, we asked him to help his grandmother ASK she when AMY came home from the hospital. He takes her shopping two times a week and to the doctor’s three times a month. He belittles her all the time and tells her she doesn’t remember anything anymore.

After 42 years, Donnie Shue finally comes home States never negotiated for the more than 600 American soldiers lost in Laos and no American soldier has ever been released, according to the Rolling Thunder website.
BY JOANIE MORRIS For the Salisbury Post
KANNAPOLIS — When Betty Jones got the phone call in 2009 that the remains of her brother, Donald Monroe Shue, were discovered on a farm in Vietnam, she dropped the phone and screamed. “She threw the phone down and screamed, ‘No, no, no. I don’t believe that,’ ” says her sister Peggy Hinson. Though it’s been more than 40 years, Peggy, Betty and Peggy’s twin sister Nancy held on to hope that Donnie, as he was known to friends and family, was simply captured and held in a prison camp. Sgt. 1st Class Shue, an Army Green Beret, was serving with two others when they went missing on a mission Nov. 3, 1969. Shue, Staff Sgt. William Brown and Sgt. 1st Class Gunther Wald were last seen wounded 30 miles inside Laos, near Ban Chakevy Tai in Saravane Province. According to military documents, Shue and the other two men — as well as several men who escaped — were attached to a unit performing highly classified maneuvers throughout Southeast Asia. The family was notified and on Jan. 15, 1979, Shue was classified as missing in action. A military marker sits above an empty grave at Carolina Memorial Park in Kannapolis. “My mama never gave up hope,” says Peggy, sitting at a table in her living room, thumbing through a photo album three inches thick documenting Donnie’s life. “None of us ever thought he was dead.” Her mother, Nellie, routinely questioned the Army about her son’s status and any attempts to recover her son. Peggy admits that she’s not one who easily gives up, and has prayed daily for God to bring her brother home. “God had told us back then, ‘I’m gonna bring him home,’ ” says Peggy, who relies on her faith daily. She pats a worn Bible next to the album of her brother’s life. “God never did tell us if he’d be alive or dead. He is bringing him home.”

Peggy Hinson, sister of Shue, looks through a picture album she’s worked on through the years. The album is more than 3 inches thick.
‘Happy-go-lucky’ Donnie Shue was a “happy-golucky fella” Peggy says. “I never saw him mad or angry at all,” she says. Donnie went to A.L. Brown High School, but quit in 11th grade to join the Army. Not quite 18, he pestered his daddy until he signed the papers for Donnie to enlist. After a lot of begging, and possibly kneeling as if in prayer, Donnie convinced his daddy to sign the papers. “Daddy didn’t want to” Peggy says, “but daddy gave up.” Shue was the youngest of six children — four girls and two boys. His brother Billy died at 10, before Donnie was born. Peggy was 12 when Donnie was born. While she’s upset and sad over the death of her brother after holding out hope for more than 40 years, Peggy chooses to remember the good times she had with him. “He loved to dance,” she says. “This boy could get down.” Once, her sister Nancy loaned

Donnie her 1962 powder blue Bonneville convertible with “three deuces on the hood.” When Donnie returned the next morning, the tires were bald. “She seen red,” says Peggy, recalling the altercation that followed. When Nancy asked him what had happened, he admitted he had been racing the car. “She said, ‘How many did you win?’ and he said, ‘All of them.’ ” While she didn’t loan him the car again, Peggy recalls, Nancy wasn’t mad anymore. It’s memories like that Peggy clings to as she talks about her brother, and the years that have passed since he went missing.
Coming home
Missing in action She remembers when the men came to her home to tell her family that Donnie was missing in action. “Donnie was daddy’s heart,” says Peggy. “When he came up missing, daddy didn’t want to live anymore.” Her daddy sat in his chair, and listened to the same song over and over after the men came and told him his son was missing. The song — Ferlin Husky’s “Wings of a Dove” — combined with the lack of knowledge about her brother’s whereabouts, helped to lead the whole family to the Lord, says Peggy. “We saw our daddy cry for the first time when that Army officer
When the lines in Southeast Asia were redrawn and the location where Shue, Brown and Wald were last seen was shifted to Vietnam’s control, the U.S. sent a recovery team into the area. According to military records, the team found a Zippo lighter with Shue’s name engraved on it in the remains of three men discovered on a farm. The government sent letters to Betty after the discovery, asking for DNA samples from family members to help positively identify Shue. Peggy says her sister has the lighter the government team found with the remains. They also showed the family a boot found with him, and pictures of his teeth in a line. “He had beautiful teeth,” says Peggy, remembering her alwayssmiling brother. “All of the remains were there together,” she adds. The government also showed the family pictures of the team in the process of recovering her brother and his companions. “They were searching for them.” “Sgt. First Class Shue and the more than 58,000 U.S. service members who died in Vietnam will never be forgotten,” U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan said in a press release. “After so many years, I know it is a relief to his family that he will be welcomed home.” Peggy says the discovery of her brother’s remains have only worked to solidify her faith in God. “I knew someday he’d be home,” she says. She routinely listens to the old hymn, “Green, Green Grass of Home,” a song that speaks to her about her brother. When the men came and told her family he was missing, she said it was a trial. “You know, you cry and it’s like your guts are going to come out,” she says of the loss of her brother. “It’s like somebody cut you with a knife. When something like that happens, you bow your head and pray.”
came and left,” she adds. “It brought my whole family to their knees.” Her father, never sick a day in his life, almost seemed to give up on life and died in 1971, never knowing what happened to his youngest son. “My daddy died of a broken heart,” says Peggy. “He was just a different man after that.” That was in November 1969. She recalls Donnie’s number given to him was 1169 — slightly ironic, considering. Weather had prevented a recovery team from entering Laos until days after Donnie and his comrades went missing and no remains, or graves, were found. The United
Betty Jones, another sister of Shue’s, talked briefly on the phone about the discovery of her brother’s remains. “He loved the Army,” she recalled. “He loved every minute of it.” She said he’d come home from training on the weekend with a laundry bag for his mom and ropes to practice down in the gravel pits off Poplar Tent Road. She recalled going down to the post office in Concord and planting a small tree in his honor. That tree has grown and over the years, so had the hope of her brother’s survival. “When they called me and said they’d found his remains, I said, ‘I don’t believe you,’ ” said Betty. It

All-female military flight group soars in Afghan skies BY TECH. SGT. MICHAEL VOSS 455th Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs
BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan — A team of female airmen made history here March 30 when the F-15E Strike Eagles of “Dudette 07” blazed down the runway to provide close air support for coalition and Afghan ground forces. The two-ship formation consisted of all females, two pilots and two weapons system officers; but more importantly, it marked the first combat mission flown from Bagram to be planned, maintained and flown entirely by females. This mission represents the first combat sortie on record to involve only female airmen from the pilots and weapons officers to the mission planners and maintainers, according to Lt. Col. Kenneth Tilley, 455th Air Expeditionary Wing historian. Although the call sign for the mission may have been lighthearted, the sortie was all business, calling for the pilots to travel to the Kunar Valley just west of the Pakistan border in support of a large Army operation that was under way. “I have flown with female pilots before, but this was the first time I have flown in an all-female flight,” said 455th AEW executive officer Maj. Christine Mau. “This wasn’t a
possibility when I started flying 11 years ago.” While planning the mission required support from women at all levels such as Capt. Kristen Wehle, the F-15 liaison officer at the combined air operations center, those involved evoked memories of legendary Women’s Army Corps pilots and others for inspiration. “Women’s history means a celebration of the equality we have today in the military. It makes me think back and find inspiration from heroes like Col. Jeannie Flynn,” said Capt. Jennifer Morton, 389th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron weapons officer. In 1993, then 2nd Lt. Jeannie Flynn became the first female F-15E pilot. Although the Air Force permitted female pilots to enter pilot training in 1976, Flynn went on to become the first female fighter pilot to graduate from the U.S. Air Force Weapons School. “Since 1993, we have had Air Force female pilots in combat positions, and because of that today I feel as a woman I can have whatever job I want,” said Morton, a Cali-
it the first all female from tasking to completion combat sortie to date,” said Dudette 07 operations supervisor Capt. Leigh Larkin. “I thought it was kind of cool and something that I have never seen before. The women throughout time have paved the way for us today and they made it possible for us to be equal as well as respected as individuals,” said 455th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chief Staff Sgt. Tamara Rhone. “Females are a rare breed on the flight line. It is my hope that more females step up and join the maintenance career field.” Although it has only been 18 years since the repeal of the combat exclusion law, the women of today’s Air Force are filling vital roles in the success of combat missions throughout the world. “In reality, we get somewhat uncomfortable when people make a big deal out of an all female crew. We are all here because we love what we do and we want to support the mission just the same as any male aircrew member. We are all

fornia native deployed from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina. While Dudette 07 was set up to as an all-female mission in honor of Women’s History Month, Mau pointed out inspiration for today’s airmen aspiring to great heights can come from many different places. “I think I get a great deal of inspiration from my grandmother,” who was a mother seven kids, Mau said. “But many of my role models today are males.” In addition, the pilots never forget the contributions of the maintainers on the ground, maintainers like Airman 1st Class Casiana Curry, who enlisted Sept. 11, 2009, and enables the continued support of the war fighters on the ground. “The four women officers represent only a portion of the women who supported this mission, making
fighter aircrew, and that is how we identify ourselves, not as male or female,” said 389th EFS F-15 pilot Maj. Tracy Schmidt. “If you ask any male in our squadron what they thought about us as female aircrew, they would also say, ‘Uh I never really considered that, they are just one of us.’ ” During those 18 years since Flynn took off on that first flight, times have changed, but female airmen never forget the sacrifices for their equality or that they serve as role models for the next generation of airmen. “On the other hand, while this is normal, everyday life to us, we forget sometimes that we are still a very small minority in this community, and we do appreciate the fact that other women in the world are still proud to see women doing this kind of thing. I’ve talked to quite a few older women who said they would have loved to fly jets but never had the opportunity when they were younger, and I also know that there are plenty of young girls out there who may not know that this is an option for them,” Schmidt said. “While I generally try to avoid being highlighted as a female, I am happy to be a role model or inspiration or whatever you want to call it for other women, when opportunities like this present themselves.”

JUSTICE REINVESTMENT ACT
Don’t pass buck on jails Which moral obligation?
he Criminal Justice Reinvestment Act has a commendable goal — reducing the state’s prison population by reducing recidivism rates — and worthwhile ideas for doing so, but not at the expense of imposing more costs and responsibilities on county governments and local criminal justice systems. That’s a real fear for local officials if N.C. House Bill 642 were to establish mandates without providing money or resources to implement them. Against the backdrop of the state’s budget crisis and its need to reduce the inmate population, passage of the bill would mean that counties such as Rowan, which are already outsourcing inmates to other areas, would be in an even bigger bind. The impact would ripple across many areas of the criminal justice system, from potentially overwhelming the pretrial release program to requiring more probation officers and raising inmate health-care costs. Rowan officials have estimated the additional costs to house more inmates would be at least $1.4 million a year. Other counties are also worried. Guilford officials said earlier this month the proposal would add $861,400 annually to their jail costs. Meanwhile, judicial officers are concerned about the consequences for the state’s structured sentencing guidelines when punishments are lessened for some non-violent violators. That’s not to say the proposal should be ditched. As a cost-reduction measure, it makes sense to consider alternatives to incarceration for non-violent offenders who aren’t considered a danger to the public. With more than half of state prison admissions for parole violations, it also makes sense to try to lower that number with stepped up monitoring and parole supervision. If the recidivism rate could be cut, it could more than offset the costs of additional probation officers and electronic monitoring devices. The same goes for intervention programs designed to deter young perpetrators from becoming chronic — and costly — adult offenders. The N.C. bill reflects the thinking of experts involved in the federal Criminal Justice Reinvestment project, which is supported by the Council of State Governments and the Pew Center on the States and has spawned other state initiatives similar to this one. The N.C. measure, like those elsewhere, has enjoyed bipartisan support, a good indication that the general goals of the bill have merit. But general goals and practicable solutions at the local level are two different things — as we’ve seen with the state’s previous attempt to shift mental health care from state hospitals to community centers. Legislators need to make sure the act actually solves prison crowding, rather than simply passing the buck and the burden to local governments.

Health-care debate has many dimensions e have a moral obligation to the country to do this.” So said Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), chairman of the House Budget Committee, as he proposed enormous cuts in federal spending by radically overhauling the health care system. His plan, delivered last week, projects saving the federal government $4 trillion by reshaping and reducing health care benefits for the elderly, poor and disabled. What exactly is the moral obligation? Reducing the debt or providing health care? This may be the most pressing moral issue “we the peoDAVID ple” face over the next 40 POST years. Do we have a moral obligation to cut spending or raise taxes (or not raise taxes)? Or, do we have a moral obligation to provide health care to our elderly, the poor and the disabled? Clearly, health care is a moral issue. As a nation, we have enormous moral disagreements on critical health care issues from conception to life-sustaining stem cell research to death. For the past 60 years, we have debated whether health care is a moral issue, that is, whether we as a nation have a moral obligation to provide health care to everyone or whether each individual is responsible for his or her own health care. Except for the United States, every democracy on earth believes it has a moral obligation to provide health care to its entire citizenry. As health care costs rise unabated, the line between cost and care is becoming blurred. Medical expenses are the cause of 50 percent of all personal bankruptcies in recent years. (Ironically, bankruptcy was a “moral” issue a generation ago. Today, bankruptcy is an economic option with virtually no moral implications.) As a nation, we are beginning to approach a similar precipice. Representative Ryan deserves enormous credit for making a bold proposal. As promised, his proposal reduces federal expenditures. On the other hand, it doesn’t save any money. It merely shifts $4 trillion of costs over the next 10 years from the federal government to state governments and to the elderly, poor and disabled. By replacing Medicare with a stipend and instructions to “buy your own insurance,” most of the elderly will have less health care. The theory is that tens of millions of retirees will rise up together and negotiate better rates with the insurance com-
“W
panies. Somehow IBM, GE, Microsoft, AT&T, state and city governments, sprawling university systems and non-profits and other huge organizations negotiating on behalf of tens of thousands of employees can’t do that, but the elderly can and will. Even though the average annual cost of Medicare per person is approximately $11,000, the proposed stipend is about $8,000. Can private for-profit insurance companies that have administrative costs of 20 percent or more learn to be more efficient than the non-profit Medicare system with its 3 percent administrative cost burden? (On a personal note, I’m 61, healthy, eat right and am active. However, because of hip replacement surgery five years ago, I’m not insurable. A state-sponsored “high risk pool” will cover me for approximately $17,000 per year with annual increases in the years ahead.) If you were born before 1958, you’ll still get Medicare. If born after 1957, you get a stipend that covers about 75 percent of your projected health insurance cost. Although the Ryan proposal provides that the stipend increase with inflation, health care costs are rising at triple the inflation rate. Under the Ryan plan, the average retiree would have to spend almost half of his or her retirement income on health care. Retirees better become great negotiators. Representative Ryan proposes block grants to the states to cover the federal government’s share of Medicaid costs. Over 10 years, he proposes decreasing federal Medicaid spending by $1.7 trillion (that’s a “t” for trillion, not a “b” for billion), or 39 percent. State governments are struggling to meet their share of Medicaid today. How are they going to absorb more, especially $1.7 trillion more? Clearly, they can’t. The message to the poor and disabled is: Fend for yourselves! Real death panels will emerge. Not the fiction used to scare people into opposing the recently passed health reform law. Instead, if families can’t afford health care, they will choose between death and ... well, whatever other choices may exist. The Ryan plan pits old against young, rich against poor, those who vote against those who don’t, and those who make political contributions against those who don’t. This isn’t a fair fight. Apparently, the “We” in “We the people” does not mean all of us. • • • David Post is one of the owners of MedExpress Pharmacy and Salisbury Pharmacy and teaches in the Ketner School of Business at Catawba College.

LETTERS
TO THE
High-speed rail a fast way to waste more tax dollars I recently read an article (Salisbury Post) about a well-respected (British) architect who lives in Charlotte. He had just spoken at Catawba College, explaining the virtues of environmentally-friendly community planning. His concerns for America are best summed up by quoting directly from the article: “He said he is baffled by opposition to high-speed rail by the Americans … Spain, which has suffered major economic woes, is investing $193 billion to create the best high-speed rail system in Europe. The British are in agreement that dealing with climate change is the only way to get out of the recession …” This all sounds exciting, but around the same time of his speech, Spain’s credit rating dropped (again). Each time Spain’s credit-rating drops, their interest rate goes up, meaning even less money is available for their social programs. Spain was considered the green leader in Europe and a model for our own green initiative. Yet a study conducted in Madrid, at the King Juan Carlos University (April 2009), found that for each “green” job created, more than two jobs were lost. The report also pointed out that each “green job” had cost the government $774,000. This report was ridiculed by liberal news organizations. The Huffington Post disputed this report

and claimed Spain’s green incentives create “millions more jobs than does investment in traditional energy.” Yet this year Huffington Post reports Spain’s “jobless rate surged to a 13-year record, above 20 percent at the end of 2010, the highest level in the industrialized world.” If rising unemployment numbers and taking even more money out of our budget doesn’t turn you against high-speed rail, consider this: $6-a-gallon gas is part of the European incentive to encourage ridership. We already have one government rail system, the National Railroad Passenger Corp. (Amtrak). According to a recent GAO report, Amtrak loses approximately $1.5 billion annually (including 2009, when it received an additional $1.3 billion stimulus check). High-speed rail would merely be a high-speed money pit. — Steve Pender Rockwell
ASHINGTON — In the interest of downsizing government, it might be appropriate to suggest going back to the days when Congress was only a part-time institution limited in the amount of mischief it could commit. Perhaps those newly elected to the House under the Tea Party banner could make that a goal as well as redefining the Republic to fit a much earlier model. Curtailing the lawmakers’ yearly activities to about DAN K. six months would THOMASSON not only save billions of dollars but also eliminate a lot of stress for average Americans whose concern over what their elected representatives are about to do or not do next like threatening every five minutes to shut down the government completely or spending enormous amounts of their money on needless projects. Not a good suggestion given the size and complexity of our democracy? That’s probably correct but one can wish, can’t one? The fact is that Congress is in many different ways a failed institution in dire need of reform. The basic chores assigned to it — raising revenue through taxation, adopting a budget, appropriating funds for federal activities, declaring war — generally have not been accomplished for years. These activities have been lost in the partisan rancor and irresponsible behavior of those whose vision for the country reaches only to the next election. Congress is a mass of contradictions as are most legislatures — populated by men and women who promise one thing and do another and whose objectives are not dictated “by the people, for the people” but by the special interests for the special interests. I realize that’s a harsh assessment but it comes from decades of watching a steady erosion of elemental good government on Capitol Hill, hastened by a decline in the quality of those occupying both chambers. There is probably only one Estate held in lower esteem — the Fourth or, if you like, the press. The voters surely have gotten what they deserve, buying into empty promises and watching helplessly as the House controlled by the Republicans and the Senate by the Democrats can’t even agree to try to agree on much of anything, a condition resulting from the midterm elections when frustrated voters bought into claims that it would be easy just to turn the clock back to a simpler time. Close down the government? Why not? Then perhaps we could all have at least one good night’s sleep. But what should we do about the needs of all those American men and women overseas trying to accomplish what looks impossible in the first place? And what would this do to the fragile economy? Does anyone have a sane answer? By the way, it cost more to shut it down than to keep it running. Someone at the high end of Pennsylvania Avenue must understand that adopting one stopgap measure after another to keep the government running while they bicker over a permanent solution is the height of irresponsibility, that good statecraft requires compromise now and then. House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin has come up with a proposal for a 2012 budget that would tackle some of the nation’s mounting fiscal problems, including reforming entitlement programs as earlier outlined by a presidential commission. At first glance it would be a difficult proposal to sell, but it at least recognizes that we are in dire need of political detente. As a starting point it is worthy of attention. Let’s hope it stimulates a reasonable dialogue between the warring parties. As we have seen, state legislatures are equally prone to silly behavior. Actually, these institutions are training grounds for Congress. In Wisconsin and Indiana, minority Democrats left their states in an effort to block controversial labor legislation, trying to negate an election that has put the Republicans in charge. It was a clear abrogation of their elected responsibilities. So while it may not be practicable to set a limit on the time Congress meets annually, it is certainly a refreshing thought to have them out of town where their constituents could get at them more easily. • • • Dan K.

State official warns of higher insurance rates RALEIGH (AP) — Industry-backed legislation that would allow auto insurers to raise rates by up to 15 percent a year and weaken North Carolina’s current regulatory system would lead to higher consumer costs, the state’s top insurance regulator said Monday. “The bottom line here is this: insurance companies want more of your money. These proposals would no doubt lead to higher car insurance rates,” Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin said at a news conference. North Carolina has among the lowest auto insur-
ance rates in the country, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and consumer insurance-information service Insure.com agree. Insure.com found that comparable policies for a 40year-old single male driver who commutes 12 miles to work paid $1,154 a year, seventh-lowest in the country, compared to a national average of $1,561. Goodwin said he will fight legislation introduced in the state Senate last week that would: • Allow auto insurers to raise prices by up to 15 percent per year without regu-
latory approval. • Stop the insurance commissioner from contesting the rate increases because he or she considers them too large. • Let insurers consider a consumer’s slumping credit score among other signals that allow them to raise premiums.
begins chamber choir SALISBURY — The Salisbury School of Music is auditioning singers for its new teen chamber choir. The new group, under the direction of the school’s artistic director, Marc Hoffman, will begin rehearsals at 7:30 p.m. tonight at the school, located in the Meroney Theater in downtown Salisbury. The Chamber Choir will be limited to 16 members, age 13-19, and will concentrate on new arrangements of concert, Broadway, liturgical and popular music. “So many of our students, including those who are already accomplished soloists, have never been in a proper choir,” said Hoffman. “Most public schools have middle school choirs for the general student population, and various high school choirs, but the current system of scheduling rarely allows a student to remain in choir throughout their public
school years. We are hoping to fill that gap.” Hoffman studied both choral and orchestral conducting while majoring in composition at Pfeiffer University, the North Carolina School of the Arts and the University of Southern California and has conducted his original music for film at a variety of recording studios in Los Angeles. “Our goal is to make this a fun experience both in rehearsal and performance while teaching proper choir singing techniques and perhaps instilling in the students a desire to sing or conduct professionally,” Hoffman added. For more information or to schedule an audition at the Salisbury School of Music, contact Marc Hoffman at choir@marchoffman.com or call 704-633-8188.

two reasons why Stoneman spared this building. One is that Stoneman had eaten breakfast that morning at the home of T. J. Meroney and had been so impressed by his courteous treatment that he saved the courthouse at Meroney’s request, after flames had already been set to the building. The second version is that the father of the late Col. A.H. Boyden had been acquainted with Stoneman prior to the war, and the elder Boyden prevailed upon the general to spare the courthouse with its valuable records dating back to the town and county’s earliest beginnings. But memories of people 70 years ago were still fresh with the events that occurred as the troopers went from house to house, taking what valuables they wanted from the civilians. J.T. Shaver, who was born and lived at 419 E. Innes St., told a Post reporter in 1934 about the raid. Shaver was 9 years old at the time. “There were some skirmishes between some of our men who were here and the Yankees, “ he recalled. “This fighting took place where Livingstone College is now and also out near the Old M.L. Jackson home. “ A Confederate officer and a Yankee officer dueled with sabers in the road. Both were mounted. They cut and slashed at each other, cutting up one another right sharp, Shaver told the reporter. The account says the Confederate got the better of the combat but, when he saw other Blue Coats coming, had to flee down the road toward Town Creek. Another mounted Confederate officer dashed down the road with a pistol in each hand. He, too, escaped. All government buildings, other than the courthouse, were set on fire and destroyed, as was the Salisbury Cotton Mill, the railroad property and the passenger train station. Margaret Beall Ramsay, who was 92 in 1932, wrote of her experiences during the siege. She recalled seeing Yankee soldiers dragging the “feeble and coatless Judge Caldwell out into his yard wielding their swords above his head as they demanded his money and valuables. “ Another woman, Mrs. J.S. Summerell, who lived at South Fulton and Bank streets, outsmarted the Yankees before they arrived. Upon hearing of their approach, she summoned her slave Dorsey and asked him to dig a trench for some grapevine cuttings she wanted to set out. She then went into the house and returned with an apron full of old shoes and boots so badly worn that not even the Confederacy had use for them. She placed the worn shoes and boots at regular intervals along the trench, saying that she had heard that old leather made grapevines grow. Then she instructed Dorsey to put in the cuttings and fill the trenches. After Stoneman left Salisbury, she took out the old shoes and retrieved the monogrammed family silver, polished it and returned it to the kitchen drawers. Salisbury contained the last sizable cache of Confederate stores. Stoneman captured 18 guns, 10,000 stands of arms, 160,000 pounds of bacon, 7,000 bales of cotton, 250,000 blankets and thousands of Confederate uniforms. Goods were hauled out of downtown stores and piled in the street from the square to the courthouse. Soldiers took what they wanted and gave much of it to poor blacks and whites who came begging. The whole pile was then set on fire. Following the conquest of Salisbury, the raiders moved on to the Yadkin to capture the railroad bridge, the longest span of the North Carolina Railroad, which then ran between Charlotte and Goldsboro. Here they met stiff resistance and were turned back into the countryside by Confederate gun emplacements on the bluff. Franklin Scarborough was a longtime Rowan County journalist and historian. He died in 2006.

Rowan library marks 100th anniversary This year marks the 100th anniversary of the public library in Rowan County, and the Rowan Public Library invites the community to celebrate the centennial at many events throughout 2011. April activities include programs for all ages. The library continues collecting the stories and photographs of Vietnam veterans with “Through a Soldier’s Eyes: Remembering Vietnam.” This collaborative project between the library and Wa-
terworks Visual Arts Center will honor and illustrate the Vietnam experiences of Rowan County servicemen and women, culminating in a digital archive and an exhibit at Waterworks in August. Celebrate libraries, books, and children during National Library Week with a Princess Tea Party at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. The library and the Rowan Children’s Literature Guild will bring author Stephanie Greene for this special tea party and program at the
headquarters library. Greene has written for children of all ages, and her books include the Moose and Hildy series, “The Lucky Ones” and the Sophie Hartley series. Her newest book is “Princess Posey and the Perfect Present.” A book signing will follow the program. April is also the anniversary of General George Stoneman’s Civil War offensive in Rowan County, an attack which included razing the Salisbury Confederate Prison in 1865.
Chris Hartley, author of “Stoneman’s Raid, 1865,” will lead a visit to the past on April 19 at 7 p.m. at the Salisbury library with a talk about Stoneman, his incursion though six Southern states and his capture of cities including Salisbury and Christiansburg. A reception and book signing will follow the program. Look for more details about centennial events and programs on the library’s website at www.rowanpubliclibrary .org.
Contestants sought for Threshers pageant
Earn good grades, earn a check?
Women considering college education may be interested in participating in the 2011 Southeast Old Threshers Reunion Queen Pageant. Applications are being accepted now for the July 1 event. The Southeast Old Threshers Reunion is the largest antique farm-equipment show in the Southeast and will be held June 30 to July 4 at the Denton FarmPark in Denton. The queen will reign over the show and be its representative to festivals, parades and pageants throughout North Carolina. She will receive a $2,000 educational scholarship and other prizes. The 2010 winner was Alyssa Dennis from Randleman who is a freshman at UNC-Greensboro. Contestants must be a rising high school senior from either a public or home-school and be up to 24 years of age as of July 4. Pageant participants must be single, never have had a child or have been married. They should either reside, work or attend school in the following counties: Alamance, Cabarrus, Chatham, Davidson, Davie, Forsyth, Guilford, Iredell, Montgomery, Moore, Randolph, Rowan or Stanly.
RALEIGH (AP) — Nineyear-old Samantha Hubbard’s eyes popped open for an instant as the thought flashed through her mind. Would she study harder if North Carolina offered to pay her $1,000 a year from first grade through high-school graduation if she came to class, behaved and earned good grades? It’s a reach beyond rewards like gold stars and pizza parties. But dangling cash rewards could be the cheapest and most effective motivator to raise test scores and lower dropout rates, said Sen. Fletcher Hartsell, R-Cabarrus, who is proposing the idea in legislation awaiting a committee hearing. If the money is paid to parents, that could get them more involved in helping their children succeed, he said. “I think it’s good. I think you should give the money to kids,” said Samantha, the mention of a new bicycle in her ears. Her parents weren’t impressed. “I think it’s a bad idea. Even if the money went to me. I think that’s a worse idea, for it to go to the parents. I think if you’re going to
do it it’s going to have to go to the kids when they graduate,” said Vanessa Hubbard, who with her husband David chaperoned their daughter’s Archdale Elementary School class on a visit to the state museums in Raleigh. “No, our tax money shouldn’t pay to motivate them as a parent.” But she pictured the effect a potential reward might have on Samantha. “She would get us to help her to study harder so that she could get her money. That’s how it would work,” Vanessa Hubbard said. Whether the motivation springs from a child or from parents who start helping with homework, showing up at teacher conferences, or just prepping their youngster to meet the morning school bell on time, cash rewards might be worth a try, Hartsell said. “We’ve tried a lot of other things. Cash incentives sometimes work,” he said. “We create incentives for all kinds of other activities, primarily business. But why not this?” Hartsell and co-sponsor Sen. Eric Mansfield, D-Cumberland, want to take their time looking at the pros and cons. The first step is the Gen-
eral Assembly starting a twoyear study of whether the state should offer student incentives, and whether a payout most motivates students, parents or teachers. The initial idea is to explore offering cash to each of the state’s 1.4 million public school students from grades 1 through 12 who meet certain goals. Taking it slow would allow the public to decide whether they like or hate the idea, Hartsell said. A statewide student rewards program would be a bold expansion beyond the experimenting that’s been going on for years in local school districts. Baltimore, New York City, Chicago, Houston, and Fulton County, Ga., have been testing programs that pay for learning. A technology entrepreneur started offering $250 checks in 2004 to high school students who excel in academics, community service, and attendance. The Challenge Program is now in 125 schools in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and West Virginia. Research in a field merging economics and education suggests that offering rewards can work, but don’t always improve results.
Shooting victims refuse to give information SALISBURY — Authorities say two men were shot in separate incidents Sunday, and both have refused to cooperate with police. Salisbury Police officers dispatched to Rowan Regional Medical Center at 1:10 a.m. Sunday found Edward Eugene Sifford, 51, with a bullet wound in his leg. Sifford told police he was walking down North Long Street when he heard what he thought was a firecracker, a police report said. He looked down and saw that his leg was bleeding, so he walked to the hospital. He told police he didn’t know who shot him and that he was fine, the report said. Sifford left before getting an X-ray of his leg recommended by a doctor. Sifford’s address is listed as the streets of Salisbury. Several hours later, police
were called to the 900 block of South Jackson Street where they found Claymore Jones, Jr., 22, had been shot twice in the leg and once in the arm. Jones told police he was there “checking on his people” when he was shot, but didn’t know who shot him, the report said. Police said Jones wouldn’t provide any other information. He was taken in his personal vehicle to the hospital, where doctors performed surgery on his arm. Jones remained in the hospital Monday. Police talked to a witness who said a man came up to Jones and began arguing with him. The witness then heard three shots. The Salisbury Police Criminal Investigations Division has taken over the case.
Alcohol, child found in vehicle SALISBURY — Police charged two teenagers Saturday night after finding cups of alcohol in the front of the car they were in and a 9year-old child in the back seat. According to a report by the Salisbury Police De- CLAYTON partment, an officer pulled over a Cadillac Deville at 601 W. Jake Alexander Blvd. about 10:20 p.m. Saturday. As the officer approached the car, he smelled alcohol, the report said, and everyone in the car appeared to be under the age of 21. The driver, Sekeydra
Clayton, 18, of Windmill Salisbury, was Road, charged with provisional license driving after consuming and given a $1,000 bond. Passenger Alexa Kepley, 17, of Silk and Tassel Row, Cleveland, was responKEPLEY sible for the 9-year-old and charged with misdemeanor child abuse, the report said. She was given a $1,000 bond.

Expect tandems at Talladega BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press
CHARLOTTE — Talladega Superspeedway has long been celebrated for its 500 miles of white-knuckle racing, the kind of bumper-to-bumper action that keeps fans on their feet from flag to flag. Those in attendance used to fret that even if they stepped away for a moment they might miss something monumental. Now the fretting seems to be on the style of racing fans will see Sunday when NASCAR shifts to one of its
most revered race tracks. Two-car tandems took over the season-opening Daytona 500, where the huge pack of cars broke apart as drivers realized that the fastest way around the superspeedway was with just one partner. There were very few slingshots through the field, the way Dale Earnhardt Jr. did in 2010 when he charged from 10th to second over the final two laps. There were, of course, a record 74 lead changes among 22 drivers, and NASCAR welcomed a fresh-faced new star
in 20-year-old Trevor Bayne, the youngest winner in Daytona 500 history. But the overwhelming discussion was about the new style of racing, which mimicked a game of leapfrog, in which two drivers hooked up, took turns pushing each other to the front, then swapped the lead when their engines got too hot from all that pushing. Many fans fear a repeat of that racing at Talladega, and by every indication, that’s exactly what they’ll see. “We’ll be doing the same
thing we did at Daytona,” said one-time Talladega winner Tony Stewart. “I guarantee you right off the bat, that’s exactly what everybody is going to do as soon as they hit the racetrack — go right back into that mode.” It’s not necessarily a bad thing. It’s just different. For years, Daytona and Talladega were known as the two tracks where fans could expect the massive accidents created by pack racing known ASSOCIATED PRESS

McIlroy takes loss in stride BY LENOX RAWLINGS Winston-Salem Journal

Salisbury’s Darien Rankin is one of several contenders to win the long jump at today’s county meet at East Rowan.
Today’s county meet is loaded BY RONNIE GALLAGHER rgallagher@salisburypost.com
GRANITE QUARRY — So, who is going to win today’s Rowan County boys track meet at East Rowan? Flip a coin. “I have never seen a meet where there are four teams that could be within five points of each other,” East coach Rick Roseman said. “The other two teams could determine who wins.” The field events begin at 4 p.m. with the running events starting at 5. North and Salisbury have powerful individuals who can lead their teams to vic-
tory. From North, Johnny Oglesby is hard to beat. At a recent meet, he took four firsts: long jump, triple jump, 110 hurdles and 300 hurdles. Who was second in three of those events? Oglesby’s teammate Sam Starks. In fact, North was 1-2-3 in the 110 hurdles as Titus King was third. Cameron Mallett and Daylon Gray help in the relays. Salisbury is the defending state 2A champ behind jumper Darien Rankin and sprinter Romar Morris. While Rankin, who has a jump of 6 feet, 8 inches this spring, is the overwhelming favorite in
the high jump, his teammate, William Brown, could finish second. He had a jump of 6-2 recently. West Rowan has plenty of sprinters, hurdlers and jumpers. And then, there is the host team. East doesn’t beat you with a group of superior individuals. The Mustangs are undefeated this spring through sheer numbers. They may not have the highest number of wins, but they might end up with the most points. “We challenge our kids to be blue col-

AUGUSTA, Ga. — The Masters was Rory McIlroy’s to lose, and he lost it. He lost it in ways that Greg Norman couldn’t imagine. Or Bill Murray, for that matter, on the back nine at Augusta National Sunday afternoon. “I’m very disappointed,” McIlroy said behind the 18th green, his sparkling eyes still dry and a glimmer of his 21year-old grin still intact. “You know, I was leading this golf tournament with nine holes to go, MCILROY and I just u n r a v eled.” He unraveled in places contenders never visit, knocking his tee shot on No. 10 off a tree and into a hacker’s black hole between two white cabins. He threeputted the 11th green. He four-putted the 12th green. He hooked his tee shot on No. 13 halfway to Atlanta. McIlroy shot 80 on a day when the second-worst score was 78, blowing his four-stroke lead and then some. The score reminded dinosaurs of Jack Burke’s eight-stroke comeback in 1956, when leader (and amateur) Ken Venturi shot 80. Nobody took more putts than McIlroy (35) in the final round, and nobody slipped farther down the ladder, from first with a limo to a tie for 15th with four fellows who never had a whiff. Charl Schwartzel of South Africa birdied the last four holes, something no winner had ever done, and soared out of the birdiebinging horde with a 6-under-par 66. He beat McIlroy
by 14 strokes, reminiscent of Nick Faldo’s six-stroke comeback over the self-vaporizing Norman in 1996, when Faldo shot 67 to Norman’s waterlogged 78. McIlroy made the turn in 37, just ahead of Schwartzel, Angel Cabrera, K.J. Choi and stampeding Tiger Woods. “I hit a bad tee shot on 10 and then never, never really recovered,” McIlroy said. “You know, it’s going to be hard to take for a few days, but I’ll get over it. I’m fine. ... I knew it was going to be tough for me out there, and it was.” The pivotal drive on the par-4 10th struck the tree, and the ricochet landed near the Butler Cabin, used for TV interviews and the studio version of the green jacket ceremony. “I felt comfortable on that tee shot all week, and for some reason, I just started it a little left of where I wanted to and hit that tree,” he said, a wry smile preceding his self-deprecating chuckle. “I don’t think anyone’s been over there in those cabins before.” He punched out of the residential neighborhood but still needed a 250-yard missile to reach the green. McIlroy pulled the shot left and then hit a tree trying to escape the next prison yard. The slapstick added up to triple bogey. “The seven on 10 just sort of derailed me a little bit, and it was hard to get back,” McIlroy said. The bogey on 11 and double bogey on 12 sealed his deal, and the devilish hook off the 13th tee shut the last door. “I’d sort of realized that unless I birdied my way in, I realized I didn’t have a chance,” McIlroy said. “I was trying my hardest ... but once I hit that tee shot left on 13, I realized that was it.” Adam Scott, who tied for second, predicted that McIlroy will recover.

Sabo signs after strong senior year BY RYAN BISESI rbisesi@salisburypost.com
Fate happened to throw East Rowan’s Olivia Sabo a bone in February.

I noticed that this girl could also step out and shoot the 3.” Edwards left the night with a package deal as both Singletary and Sabo will play for the Buccaneers next year. Sabo only scored eight points in a 79-34 loss, but Edwards saw other tangible factors in her. “He was like, I’m not going to lie, I was here to see another girl,” Sabo said. “I saw you and liked the way you were a leader out on the floor.” Sabo, who will participate in the discus, shot put and

RCYFL looking for coaches, sponsors for upcoming season BY R.C.Y.F.L. WEST ROWAN BOARD MEMBER MIKE MCCULLOUGH
The Rowan County Youth Football League Board of Directors have been meeting each month in 2011 to plan for another fun and successful 2011 youth football season. This year, the league has chosen its motto as We Build Champions. With two high schools winning state cham-
pionships the league deserves a small part of the success with most of these championship players starting in the RCYFL. Salisbury Board Member Romeo White hopes to build the Salisbury City area team back to its winning tradition. Board members are locking down playing sites which again will include North and West Rowan high school fields along with several middle school areas. The RCYFL website rcyfl@org will be updated with new information soon.
This month will be one of the final months to download last years league pictures free. The website has board member contact information. The league still has several cheerleading coach and a few football coach positions open at this time, so contact board members if interested. All coaches must pass a federal background check as well as head coaches certified in first aid/CPR. The league also has a few team sponsor-
ship open. The sponsorship included business names on all players’ jerseys, including cheerleaders. Also, any reference to the team on a website, newspaper article or league standing log will include the sponsor name. Registration sites and dates will be announced soon and will be noted on rcyfl.org as well as in the Salisbury Post.

The NBA Roundup... ATLANTA — LeBron James scored 34 points and Miami locked up the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference with a 98-90 win over the Atlanta Hawks, who nearly rallied from a 20-point deficit while going with their backups in the fourth quarter Monday night. Miami played its starters all the way, looking to clinch the second spot behind Chicago in the East. Shortly after beating the Hawks, the Heat got the news they wanted: third-place Boston lost at Washington in overtime. The Hawks went with a makeshift lineup with the fifth see already locked up. Atlanta tied the game at 88 in the closing minutes, but Miami outscored the Hawks 10-2 the rest of the way, with James Jones making two huge 3pointers — including one that turned into a four-play when he was fouled by a leaping Josh Powell. Cavaliers 110, Pistons 101 AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Daniel Gibson scored 17 points, including a five-point play late in the third quarter, and the Cavaliers won a testy game in which Ryan Hollins and the Pistons’ Charlie Villanueva were ejected after a skirmish. The two players became en-
tangled with 5:47 left in the game, and appeared to push each other in the face. Both were ejected, and Villanueva had to be restrained as he headed off. Later, Villanueva came out of the Pistons’ locker room and sprinted toward Cleveland’s locker room, but was stopped by police on a loading dock. Magic 95, 76ers 85 PHILADELPHIA — Dwight Howard returned from a suspension to score 19 points and grab 13 rebounds, and Ryan Anderson added 18 points and 14 rebounds for the Magic. Howard served an NBA suspension Sunday after picking up his 18th technical foul. Jameer Nelson also scored 13 for Orlando, which had a 23rebound edge at one point in the second quarter and used a 16-2 run in the third to shake off the pesky Sixers. Elton Brand led the Sixers with 22 points. Philadelphia is stuck on 41 wins and needs one in Wednesday’s finale for its first winning record since 2004-05. Jazz 90, Hornets 78 NEW ORLEANS — C.J.

TANDEM FROM 1B as “The Big One.” Daytona still had crashes — there were a record 16 cautions — but that didn’t satisfy many fans who couldn’t get their heads around the two-car tandem racing. NASCAR officials felt the same at the start of Speedweeks, and issued a series of slight technical adjustments designed to prevent the cars from pushing each other for too long. Like everyone else, NASCAR was unsure of how the Daytona 500 would play out, but was ultimately pleased with what officials saw. “We were curious, too. It was a phenomenon, we’d never seen anything like that,” said NASCAR chairman Brian France. “But 74 lead changes, dramatic racing all the way through, although it looked a little bit different, the competition level went up.

But, generally speaking, if competition goes up, the races are exciting, we’re going to like it.” So aside from a reduction in the size of the horsepowersapping restrictor plate, NASCAR has done very little to force drivers to race any differently this weekend at

North to a state title last year, is a favorite in the long jump and 100 hurdles. If she is to win the hurdles, her stiffest competition might come from Ramos, who is also a favorite in the 300 hurdles and triple jump. The Cavs will be among the favorites in the relays. Salisbury is led by Alisha
Bradshaw, who has thrown over 40 feet in the shot and over 140 feet in the discus. Summer Taylor and Najwa Allison will contend for titles. But every school seems to have someone who is a favorite. Carson has won meets with Demya Heggins and Jan Sit-
terson in the jumps, Sierra Zemanick in the 800, Sarrah Holman in the 400 and Jesse Troutman in the pole vault. In last Thursday’s meet, Carson swept the relays. Hannah Houston of South is a favorite to win the 1600 and 3200. East has Jenna Cauble in the hurdles.
Talladega. “We’re going to see that same style draft,” said Kurt Busch, who won two exhibition races leading into the Daytona 500. “The two-car draft is just so potent. Anytime you can tell a race car driver he can go four seconds faster a lap and give him the recipe on how to do it, he’s going to go and put it into play. That’s that two-car draft.” There’s an element of intrigue to it, too, that forces drivers to place a huge amount of trust in some of their biggest rivals. The two-car draft forces the trailing car, the “pusher,” to race blind because the driver can’t see what’s ahead of the car he’s pushing. Spotters are forced to be the eyes for drivers they’ve never worked for, and drivers are tapping into the radio frequencies of guys they don’t usually speak to for in-race strategy sessions. It made Daytona interesting, and not all the drivers enjoyed that intrigue. “You can’t see where you’re going if you’re the pusher,” said Mark Martin. “If you’re in front, sometimes you wish you couldn’t see where you were going. It’s pretty tough on you sometimes when you’re running up traffic and
you have a guy pushing you that doesn’t really see that. “We have to trust each other. We have to. Like them or not, you have to.” Dale Earnhardt Jr. said he didn’t like relying on others. “I’d rather have control of just what I’ve got to do,” he said. “Having to have responsibility for someone else is a little bit more than I care to deal with.” There is one caveat that could change the racing a little: Talladega is wider than Daytona, and many drivers believe the track has enough space for the cars to go fourwide. It could lead to more room for drivers to swap the lead, and more space for a fast-closing tandem to get past a slower two-car pack. “Talladega is a much wider race track, there’s a lot more racing lines and grooves and room to race on,” Jeff Gordon said. “We should be able to do the twocar drafts a lot easier than we did at Daytona. Hopefully, we’re not hooking and spinning one another like we were in Daytona.” It’s for sure not going to be the kind of Talladega racing people are used to. That doesn’t mean, however, that it won’t be a thrilling race.
Talk resumes with NFL, players Associated Press
ST. PAUL, Minn. — The NFL and its locked-out players have been ordered to start talking again. The federal judge handling the lawsuit against the league told both sides Monday they will participate in court-supervised mediation, saying she still is considering whether to grant the players’ request to lift the lockout that’s been in place for a month. The players got their wish, with the talks held in the federal courts in Minnesota rather than the collective bargaining setting where the two sides unsuccessfully met last month. U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson said formal mediation will begin Thursday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan at his office in the Minneapolis federal courthouse. Boylan will meet with representatives for the players Tuesday, then representatives of the NFL on Wednesday. The sides tried mediation before, negotiating for 16 days in Washington with Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service director George Co-

how they wanted to do it. The players said they were willing to engage in mediation overseen by Nelson. The NFL said it wanted to resume talks with Cohen in Washington. Nelson said at the hearing she would take “a couple of weeks” to rule on the injunction. On Monday, she noted that her order to resume mediation “will not have the effect of a stay on this litigation,” and that she would rule “in due course.” Nelson’s order called for legal counsel for the parties “as well as a party representative having full authority” to attend. She also said that participation in the mediation “and any communications conveyed between the parties in this process, shall not be admitted or used against any party in any other proceeding or forum, for any purpose.” That would appear to address the players’ concern that any talks held after the dissolution of the union could be construed as collective bargaining — and thus bolster the NFL’s clam that the dissolution was a “sham” merely intended to strengthen the players’ position at the bargaining table.

hen. Those talks broke off on March 11, and the old collective bargaining agreement expired. The NFL Players Association dissolved that day, saying it no longer would represent players in bargaining under labor law. That allowed players — including MVP quarterbacks Tom Brady and Peyton Manning — to file a class-action antitrust suit against the league in federal court here. The owners then locked out the players, creating the NFL’s first work stoppage since 1987. Nelson ordered Monday that both sides keep the mediation confidential. NFLPA spokesman George Atallah declined comment as did NFL spokesman Greg Aiello. Neither party would divulge who will be attending the session this week. At a hearing last week about the injunction request, Nelson urged the sides to get “back to the table” and said negotiations should take place at “not the players’ table, not the league’s table, but a neutral table, if you will.” The next day, the players and owners both expressed a willingness to talk, though they disagreed on where and

Poston The terms of the sale are that the real property hereinbefore described will be sold for cash to the highest bidder. A deposit of five percent (5%) of the amount of the bid or Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($750.00), whichever is greater, is required and must be tendered in the form of certified funds at the time of the sale.

Is liquid nitrogen really available OTC? Dear Dr. Gott:You recently had a column indicating the use of liquid nitrogen for the removal of seed warts and that it is available at pharmacies without a prescription. You have got to be kidding me! Where? My local pharmacy acted as if I was an alien asking for moon dust. I thought maybe it was the Freeze Away over-the-counter, but they indicated that was not liquid nitrogen. Please help. Dear Dr. Gott: In a recent column in my local newspaper, you stated that liquid nitrogen could be purchased overthe-counter without a prescription. I DR. PETER have asked two pharmaGOTT cists, and they said “no way.” Can it really be purchased somewhere OTC? Dear Readers: I apologize for the confusion. Liquid nitrogen is NOT available overthe-counter. Instead, the product that removes warts in a similar process uses dimethyl ether (DME). It only cools to about -59 C, whereas liquid nitrogen reaches approximately -195 C. Both can be dangerous and will cause serious injury if used improperly. Dear Dr. Gott: I find your column interesting and useful, but I am often frustrated by some of your answers when they concern muscle or joint pain. In your column about tennis elbow, you left
out a very likely cause of the problem, but you seemed to disregard it or are unaware of it. Trigger points may well cause this person’s tennis elbow and, while the pain could be coming from the forearm as you suggested, it could also be coming from the triceps. The trigger points can be caused by trauma or overuse of the muscle; but physical therapy, heat and massage treatments will not cure them, just provide short-term relief. Trigger points are small knots in the muscle that can cause constant pulling at the tendon, resulting in tendonitis. If you don’t release the trigger point, you won’t cure the problem. Physical therapy, heat and massage may relax the trigger point, but it will tighten up shortly after treatment and the pain will return. Trigger points can cause referred pain in just about any part of the body, including joints, cause headaches and often lead to the misdiagnosis of ailments like plantar fasciitis and carpal-tunnel syndrome. It is time to let the public know more about this condition and how to treat it. Dear Reader: Trigger points are essentially sensitive areas in the muscles. Chronic pain in these areas is referred to as myofascial pain syndrome. A trigger point or points can cause pain, referred pain, muscle weakness, referred tenderness and more. They are not to be confused with tender points, which are associated with fibromyalgia. Tender points do
not cause referred pain, and more than one occurs symmetrically in the body. In 2008, the results of a study appeared in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine suggesting that acupuncture and myofascial trigger therapy were both beneficial in treating pain disorders. Myofascial trigger therapy has been around since the 1800s, and acupuncture precedes that by about 2,000 years. As for my not mentioning trigger points as a cause of tennis elbow, I must admit that I had not thought about it. For that reason, I have chosen to print your letter in the hope that it may help others. Readers who are interested in learning more about pain can order my Health Reports “Managing Chronic Pain” and “Fibromyalgia” by sending a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order per report to Newsletter, P.O.

Tuesday, April 12 All the knowledge you’ve acquired, both academically and from personal experiences, can be used in very advantageous ways in the next year. Any special skills you possess will put you in an excellent position. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Do what you can to strengthen all of your relationships, because one of them is likely to play a very important role in helping you realize something an important and desired goal. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — An arrangement that has caused you much frustration, mostly because there has been nothing you could do to manage it, might suddenly be placed directly under your control. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You’ll be quite effective whenever you deal with others on a one-on-one basis. It might behoove you to steer clear of committees or delegations and focus on one key person. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — It won’t be luck that favors you in matters pertaining to your material circumstances, it’ll be your preparation and hard work. If you’re ready, you should talk to a person in authority about what you want. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Don’t be surprised if you begin hearing from friends whom you haven’t talked to in some time. Your popularity in on the upsweep, and most everybody will want to touch base with you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you’ve been a bit short of funds lately, have hope, because you’re beginning to move into a cycle of material acquisition. Certain essential funds could be made available to you when you need them. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — It won’t be luck but relationships you worked hard at developing that will start to pay off for you as of right now. Those for whom you have put yourself out will now do the same for you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — You’ll want to clear the decks, get an early start and work as late as necessary, because something inside you tells you whatever you do now will pay off big time down the line. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — One of your greatest assets is your ability to get along with all types of individuals, even those who are difficult. Use it well, because it will pay off handsomely. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — More conduits than usual will be available for generating additional funds from sources other than your usual income. Carefully examine all proposals brought to you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — It might be an excellent time for you to sign the important agreement that you’ve been considering. It’s a better than average day for working on contracts. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Put everything you’ve got into getting past a roadblock that has had you stymied. Even huge obstacles can be breached when serious effort is applied.

Over a pre-empt, assume some points BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
George Santayana, a Spanish-American philosopher and writer who died in 1952, said, “That life is worth living is the most necessary of assumptions, and, were it not assumed, the most impossible of conclusions.” When you are planning to enter the auction after an opponent has opened with a weak two or weak three, you shouldit is necessary to assume that your partner has six or seven high-card points. Look at the South hand in the diagram. After East opens three diamonds, South assumes that his side has a combined 26 or 27 points, so jumps to four spades. Yes, the diamond king is probably waste paper, but the seven-card suit is
excellent compensation. West leads the diamond six. East wins with his ace and takes South’s king at face value. (South couldn’t gain by dropping the king
from the king-three, because he has no discard for his loser.) East shifts to the club jack. Declarer ruffs the third club, plays a trump to dummy’s nine, ruffs a diamond high, crosses to the spade 10, and trumps the diamond jack, West discarding a low heart. How should South play the hearts? There are two methods to work this out: the guaranteed and the highly likely to work. In the guaranteed approach, declarer knows that East started with two spades, seven diamonds and three clubs. He can hold only one heart. South cashes his heart king, then, when East does not drop the queen, finesses through West. The highly likely method is to say that East has seven diamonds to West’s two. So it is 11 to 6 that West has the heart queen.

WEATHER UNDERGROUNDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S NATIONAL WEATHER Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue developing across the Northeastern US, while the West will see some light precipitation. A low pressure system and associated cold front that brought heavy rain, strong winds, and some thunderstorms to the Eastern Valleys will continue triggering storms on Tuesday. The system will slowly push off the Mid-Atlantic and New England shore, but flow around the system will continue pulling moisture onshore, kicking up scattered showers and thunderstorms from the Tennessee Valley to the Northeast. If storms turn severe, they will most likely develop along the Eastern Seaboard. Behind this system, a ridge of high pressure quickly sweeps through the Central US. This ridge brings sunny skies and above seasonal temperatures to the Plains and Midwest, but is pushed eastward by another incoming system. Highs will range in the 60s and 70s in the North, while the Southern Plains will remain in the 70s and 80s. A low pressure system moving eastward through Canada will push a cold front through the High Plains and into the Upper Midwest. This is expected to trigger a few rain and snow showers over the Northern Rockies and High Plains throughout the day. Meanwhile, the West Coast will see a mild day as a weak ridge of high pressure builds northward from the Southwest.

Hornets, West roll on From staff reports
Salisbury’s girls soccer team stayed unbeaten with a 6-0 romp against CCC opponent East Davidson on Monday. The Hornets (10-0-2, 5-0 CCC) opened up a two-game lead in the conference race at the midway point. Catawba signee Karen Presnell dominated the match, scoring four goals. “She’s in a zone right now,” Salisbury coach Matt Parrish said. “She’s playing exceptional, high-level soccer.” Susannah Dixon scored her first goal as a Hornet, burying a shot to the back post five minutes into the match to put fifth-ranked Salisbury on top and set the tone. After Presnell scored the next four Hornet goals, Whitney Brown converted a penalty kick for the final margin. “Brown is very efficient and gets it done every night,” Parrish said. “She’s just a very legit player.” Madison Kennedy had three assists, while Jenna Bryan had one. Olivia Rankin KENNEDY made a handful of saves and went high in the air to corral all of East Davidson’s scoring opportunities on corner kicks. Next for the Hornets is a home match on Wednesday against West Davidson (9-5, 2-2). West Davidson beat Central Davidson 1-0 on Monday. West Rowan stayed perfect in the NPC with a 6-2 win at West Iredell that was tougher than it sounds. “It was good to see the girls fight through some adversity,” WR coach Nick Brown said. “Tied at GIBBONS halftime, I think they did a great job of keeping their heads and getting the win we wanted. It was good to get contributions from a lot of different people.” The Warriors scored first at the 10-minute mark on a free kick. Goals by Brittany Gibbons and Rebecca Parker put sixth-ranked West Rowan on top 2-1, and the teams went to halftime deadlocked at 2-2. West Rowan (11-1, 8-0 NPC) reeled off four unanswered goals in the second half, with Allison Parker and Toni Lucente scoring a goal apiece, and Allison Baucom getting two. West Rowan travels to Davie tonight and returns home for NPC action against Carson on Wednesday.
