Museum budget goes off the rails Prostitution and politics Former Salisbury resident tied to Canadian government scandal Staff report
Jon c. Lakey/SALISBURY POST
Spencer Police Officer Steve Bard makes a check of the Roundhouse at the North Carolina Transportation Museum. Looming state budget cuts have caused concern about the ability to maintain security of the facility. NCTM has a contract with the Spencer Police to included in nightly patrols.
Lack of funds arrests Spencer Police coverage B Y E MILY F ORD eford@salisburypost.com
SPENCER — Spencer police officers patrolled the N.C. Transportation Museum 53 times last week during the night. From April 4 to 10, officers drove through the property 43 times and walked the premises of the historic landmark 10 times. That frequency will end May 31 when the state eliminates funding for a security contract between the museum and Spencer police, Chief Michael James said. While police will continue to patrol the museum property at times, the department can’t afford to give that kind of attention to the buildings and sprawling grounds without compensation, James said. “Should it be our responsibility as an agency to patrol a state-maintained facility without compensation?” he said. “The state should bear the burden of security.” The museum’s various
A one-time advisor to Canada’s prime minister under scrutiny over allegations of improper lobbying has ties to a former Salisbury resident who pleaded guilty in 2004 to laundering money from a prostitution ring she helped run, Canadian news organizations report. The Globe and Mail of Toronto reported that Bruce Carson, a former senior advisor to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, has been linked to two former prostitutes. One is Barbara Lynn Khan. Khan, who also went by the name “Essa,” and her husband Saleemudeen Khan operated the prostitution ring out of a home on South Main Street, federal authorities said when the Khans were indicted in 2004. Along with others in North Carolina and Florida, they set up meetings between prostitutes and clients in hotel rooms and elsewhere across North Carolina. They advertised their business in pornographic magazines in several states under names including Sugar Shack and Intimate Encounters. The customers paid up to $3,000 per night, federal indictments said. The couple and their associates started the business around 2000, authorities said. They were convicted of prostitution-related offenses in 2003. By the time federal indictments were issued in 2004, Saleemudeen Khan had fled to Canada. He was extradited back to the U.S. in 2005.

But without a nightly police presence, James said drug-related crimes and vandalism will increase at the museum, a pass-through from East Spencer.

Locals ready to rally in Raleigh B Y S ARAH C AMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
Education advocates are planning to band together next month to give state lawmakers a piece of their mind about proposed funding cuts. Parents, educators and community members from across the state will head to Raleigh on May 3 for the “One Voice” education rally in Raleigh’s bicentennial mall. The rally, sponsored by the North Carolina Association of Educators, will encourage legislators to “fund schools first.” Dr. Pam Cain, superintendent of Kannapolis City Schools, has already been urging her staff and others to attend. “At this point we believe it’s critical for everyone to contact legislators to make them aware of how cuts are going to affect our children,” she said. “We need to employ our legislators to do what’s right for our kids.” Kannapolis City Schools announced Monday that it will lay off 26 teachers and 61 non-certified personnel such as teacher assistants, custodians and office support to deal with an estimated $2.1 million shortfall.

Re-enactors commemorate Civil War anniversary in Charleston BY SCHUYLER KROPF AND R OBERT B EHRE skropf@postandcourier.com; rbehre@postandcourier.com
Charleston led America into the 150th anniversary of its Civil War with a quiet concert followed by a booming early dawn mortar shot toward Fort Sumter, setting the stage for four years of remembrances across North and South. Tuesday’s many events attempted to tell the story of the war’s beginning from as many perspectives as possible: soldier, wife, slave, mother and child. Pre-eminent Civil War historian James McPherson told a standing-room-only crowd at the Gibbes Museum of Art about why Yankee and Confederate soldiers fought so hard for so long. While religious beliefs, camaraderie with fellow soldiers and fear of being labeled a coward motivated many in battle, McPherson said soldiers’ letters and diaries demonstrate that they were sustained by patriotic and ideological convictions in their cause. “These persistent convictions were the glue that held both the Confederate and

Union armies together through four bloody years and enabled them to endure far higher casualties than any other armies in American history and keep fighting until the end,” he said. From Washington, President Barack Obama issued a proclamation saying, “These were the first shots of a civil war that would stretch across four years of tremendous sacrifice.” “On this milestone in American history, we remember the great cost of the unity and liberty we now enjoy, causes for which so many have laid down their lives,” the proclamation said. “When the guns fell silent and the fate of our nation was secured, blue and gray would unite under one flag and the institution of slavery would be forever abolished from our land.” First a light, then a bang Shortly after 4:30 a.m., the exact anniversary of the first firing on Fort Sumter, a second beam of light reached skyward from the harbor fortification, symbolizing the moment of the disunion of North and South. Hundreds gathered along the railings at the High Battery to watch, as special lights bathed the fort in red and blue. Nearby, a few

the N.C. Division of State Historic Sites. It will take several years for attendance to return to current levels, Hardison said. The museum attracts about 100,000 people annually. The museum and town of Spencer are preparing for what appears to be inevitable — an admission fee and the resulting fallout. Even a 10 percent decrease in visitors could mean tens of thousands of dollars in lost revenue for businesses in the community, said James Meacham, executive director of the Rowan County Tourism Development Authority. If attendance drops at the museum, retail sales also will fall, first at the museum gift shop, Meacham said. Gas stations and restaurants will feel the impact next, with additional Spencer retailers in the third wave, he said. The museum already charges $6 for adults and $5 for children to ride the train. Meacham recommends a $10 admission price. But even then, the museum could not generate $1 million in lost revenue because some tickets would cost less and school groups likely would not pay full price. If the state pulls funding from the museum, it will become an enterprise fund like the USS North Carolina Battleship, where admission costs $12 for adults and $6 for children. Studies have shown the museum can make it without state funding, Hardison said. “We think it’s a very reasonable approach,” he said. Spencer has a unique

POLITICS FROM 1a Facing numerous charges, Barbara Khan pleaded guilty in December 2004 to conspiring to launder proceeds from the operation. She received a one-year prison sentence and was deported to Canada upon her release. According to the article in The Globe and Mail, Barbara Khan became involved with Carson in 2006, around the time Carson began advising the Canadian prime minister. In an interview with Canada’s APTN News, Khan said she met Carson when she asked him for directions on a downtown Ottawa street. As they talked on his front porch, Carson offered Khan a glass of wine and later asked how much it would cost for her to stay the night, she told APTN. That began a four-year relationship, APTN reported. During their time together, Carson took Khan to a party at the prime minister’s residence, the news organization reported. Carson and Khan bought a condominium together in downtown Ottawa, the Canadian capital, in 2009, after he’d left the prime minister’s office. She still lives there.

The revelations about Carson’s relationship with Khan surfaced, The Globe and Mail reported, after questions arose about Carson’s past — including five criminal convictions and financial troubles — and Harper, the prime minister, asked the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to investigate allegations of improper lobbying by Carson. Khan, who is now 43, was born Barbara Lynn Welter and raised north of Toronto, the newspaper reported. In a phone interview with the Toronto newspaper, Khan said her relationship with Carson had been over for some time. A person the newspaper described as a person close to Khan said she and Carson had discussed marriage.

parks and see a movie. “A modest fee here would help us to provide this oneof-a-kind experience,” he said. Meacham said he’s working with museum staff and the foundation to come up with ways to generate revenue. New special events, more train excursions, vendor fees and sponsorships are all possibilities, he said. “They have to create demand to drive revenues,” Meacham said. As gas prices continue to rise, a visit to the museum or a special event must offer value for guests, he said. “The cost of admission has to be worth not only their money, but their time,” Meacham said. Hardison said the museum could pick up new visitors who thought a free site must not be worth much. “When there is no admission charged, some people do not come, figuring that if there was something that was really worth seeing, there would be an admission fee,” Hardison said. “It’s a kind of reverse psychology.”

combination of attractions not available at any other historic site in the state, he said. Spencer offers a museum, the historic Spencer Shops, close proximity to I-85 and train rides, he said. “We have what we believe to be critical mass that will generate interest and generate income,” he said. Hardison would not say what admission price the state is considering but said a ticket could include the entrance fee and a train ride. He said he’s working closely with museum Director Elizabeth Smith and the museum’s fundraising arm, the N.C. Transportation Museum Foundation. Visitors who stroll the grounds could do so for free. If they want to enter one of several buildings on the property, they would buy a ticket at a centralized location and receive an armband or similar. The museum would staff each building to greet visitors, check armbands and provide interpretation, Hardison said. The museum employs 18 full-time and will not hire more, although the facility eventually could generate enough revenue to expand, he said. The state faces a difficult economy, Hardison said. “In order to survive so that we can later thrive, we have to take some nontraditional approaches to funding,” he said. It’s important to continue to operate the museum and interpret history, he said. “The only way we can do that during difficult budget times is with a modest admission charge,” Hardison said. Admission fees are not uncommon, he said. People pay to enter amusement

tive, he said. “That’s going to do as much as a police officer,” Kiker said. Hiring a security officer costs between $11 and $17 per hour, he said, depending on level of training and whether they are armed. “We can do pretty much exactly the same thing as a law enforcement officer,” he said. Security personnel who observe criminal activity can’t tackle or hold suspects, but they can notify authorities immediately and give detailed descriptions, Kiker said. “We can work as an arm of law enforcement,” he said.

Smith said he hopes the loss of the security contract will not mean a reduction in force for the police department, but he doesn’t know for sure. “I would like to say that will not be the case,” Smith said. James said security guards aren’t as effective as police officers because they can’t arrest or physically detain a suspect, unless they fear for their own safety. Jeff Kiker, who lives in Spencer and serves as president of P&G Security, said security officers can serve as a deterrent.

Scrabble Scramble spells R-E-V-E-N-U-E for Literacy Council BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — How many words can you spell in under 20 minutes? When a flock of highlycompetitive spellers get together, pitting their skills against other teams of wordsmiths, the possibilities seem endless. The annual Scrabble Scramble fundraiser for the
Rowan County Literacy Council brought in thousands of dollars Tuesday. Huddled around deluxesize Scrabble game boards in the Holiday Inn ballroom, teams tried to spell as many words as possible with their pools of letters. But since the goal was to raise funds for charity, teams could buy peeks at the dictionary and extra tiles to help complete those blockbuster
words. Like “juxtapositional.” Or “esquire,” “quivers” or “zygote.” “You can’t be a zygotologist, can you?” Salisbury City Council member Maggie Blackwell quipped. She was part of a team ironically named “Purfekt Spelers.” Her teammates included a Salisbury Police captain, an English instructor at Rowan-
Cabarrus Community College and a number of local businesswomen. “I’m pleased to be here,” Blackwell said of the friendly competition. “This is an excellent cause.” Phyllis Martin, of the Literacy Council, said the funds raised will help provide education to those who lack vital communication skills. “Our students are the winners,” Martin said.
Some of those students were on hand as volunteers. Rajko and Radenka Dragas, natives of the former Yugoslavia, became American citizens some years ago, Martin said. Tuesday, Rajko acted as scorekeeper, but he also thanked the Literacy Council for the help they gave him and his wife as they struggled to learn English. “They gave us much help,”
Silver shines at games
Dragas said. “I came here 10 years ago without a word of English.” Today, he said, he’s able to communicate much more clearly because of the Literacy Council. The top Scrabble team of the night was the group of savvy senior spellers from Trinity Oaks assisted living. Dave Foreman, the de fac-

Man accused of touching two children inappropriately CLEVELAND — A 23-year-old Cleveland man has been charged following allegations that he inappropriately touched two juveniles. Authorities with the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office said they received a report on Jan. 21 from a man who said that Webb may have inappropriately touched the man’s 11-year-old daughter. After the original report was taken, a second female victim was found, the report said. The second WEBB victim said the event happened about three years ago, the report said. Monday night, authorities arrested Jesse Lee Webb, 300 Academy St., and placed him in the Rowan County jail under a $5,000 secured bond. He is charged with two counts of taking indecent liberties with a child.

FAITH — The beavers lodging off St. Paul’s Church Road are getting evicted. The Town Board voted Tuesday to pay Myers Wildlife Services up to $1,530 to remove the beaver colony from the town’s sewer outfall line. That cost includes $180 for mileage, $100 per beaver and a $150 set up fee. In a letter to the town, Kevin Myers, owner of the business, said there are currently eight to 12 beavers living in the colony. “I have more than eight years of experience in trapping problem beavers and am confident that I can remove all of the members of the colony within 10 days of service,” he wrote. Scott Gardner, the town’s public works director, recently recommended the beavers be removed before the town lost control of the sewer line. Faith Mayor Keith Deal said the beavers have been a problem for more than six months. “I think it’s time to move on this and get this done before it gets any bigger,” he said. Deal said the town does not have the right of way to the property, which means a letter requesting permission to proceed will have to be sent out before the extraction begins. “I don’t really expect to get any bad feedback,” Mayor Pro-Tem Todd Peeler said, noting the area is almost completely underwater right now because of the beavers. The dams have caused the creek off St. Paul’s Church Road to flood vacant land owned by about three different people. “It’s a mess,” Deal said. Gardner said he expects Myers to be able to begin the removal quickly after receiving clearance from the property owners.

The answer doesn’t lie in etymology (the study of word history) or clairvoyance (mind-reading). “Practice,” Foreman said. “Sometimes once or twice a week.” Team members started
playing the crossword-puzzle board game over a month ago to be ready for this challenge. Some of Foreman’s teammates joked about other training methods. “We sleep with a dictionary!” Char Molrine said with a sly smile. “It goes straight to your brain if you use it as a pillow.” Between rounds of team Scrabble, emcee David Whisenant of WBTV helped award raffle prizes donated by local businesses.

Democratic-led Legislature bent on harming the Republican for calling out a militia to quell an insurrection in two Piedmont counties that resulted in the killings of white and black citizens. The Republicans returned to power in the Senate the first time since in January. “Today we correct a 140-year-old wrong by officially pardoning Gov. Holden for his actions which were both legally and morally correct,” said Sen. Neal Hunt, R-Wake. The House has to approve the resolution for it to become official, and it’s unclear when they will do so. House leaders met across the hall in the old House chambers to remember the anniversary of a North Carolina document from 1776 urging the colonies’ independence from England. The General Assembly now meets one block away. During an era of swift racial changes following the Civil War, Holden brought in soldiers to quell activity by the KKK in Alamance and Caswell counties following several slayings, including a Republican senator stabbed and strangulated.

There’s no single word for it, but “camaraderie” comes close. “This is the first time a lot of us have met each other,” said Shelley Palmer, English instructor at RCCC. “We may not necessarily be the best, but we have the most fun,” said teammate Capt. Melonie Thompson of the Salisbury Police Dept.

SCRABBLE
RALEIGH (AP) — Meeting in the same building where Gov. William Woods Holden was removed from office 140 years ago, North Carolina lawmakers took a step Tuesday toward clearing the Reconstruction-era governor of wrongdoing related to his efforts to stop Ku Klux Klan violence. The state Senate, meeting in the old Capitol building where it hasn’t met regularly in 48 years, voted 48-0 in favor of pardoning Holden, who was impeached in 1870 by the House and convicted by the Senate at the close of a seven-week trial a few months later. The vote was delayed three weeks ago in part because some questioned whether Holden was worthy of a pardon. “It is a wonderful day for the state and I’m proud of the Senate,” said Arch T. Allen, whose late wife was Holden’s great-granddaughter and sat in the gallery’s front row with his two children. “It’s a great, great moment.” Holden was the first governor removed from office in the United States, the result, according to contemporary historians, of a

on the bus at his bus stop and the driver noticed he was holding something in his hand and acting strange. The bus driver stopped the bus one block from the boy’s stop and found he had a 6-inch serrated bread knife. The driver took the knife from the boy, secured it in his backpack and held on to the backpack until they got to school, the report said. When they arrived, all of the children got off the bus, but the boy was told to stay seated. School officials were waiting with Scipio. They told her not to get on the bus, the report said, but she did anyway, taking her son and the knife home.
Wise hit House with the car, the report said, but House held onto the hood, riding down Gheen Road. After nearly 1.5 miles, Wise stopped the car. House sat on it, refusing to move until authorities arrived. Authorities spoke to Wise, who said she wanted to pick up the car because House refused to remove her name from the joint title. She told authorities H o u s e grabbed her arm and neck when he WISE reached into the car and said she was pleading with House to get off the hood of the car and let her leave. House and Wise were taken to the magistrate’s office. Wise was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and House was charged with assault on a female.

Animal control may get advisory panel BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
The Rowan County Board of Health is looking into creating an advisory committee to oversee animal control operations. The board appointed a subcommittee to study the issue Tuesday, prompted by a mediation conference ab out access to county animal control records. Local resident Brenda Kirby says she should be able to request public records directly from animal control, but the county argues that those requests should be made to the county health director. Kirby, an Asheville attorney and a representative from the Humane Society of Eastern North Carolina met March 11 with County Health Director Leonard Wood, County Attorney Jay Dees and Animal Control Director Clai Martin for pre-litigation mediation. Kirby asked for the meeting under a new provision added to state public records law last year. Final results of the mediation have not been provided, but Dees gave a summary Tuesday of the discussions. To respond to record requests, animal control staff must either sit with people while they look at original records or make copies of the documents, he said. They are unable to provide digital records unless they scan each
Fight brewing over health pool RALEIGH (AP) — The North Carolina health insurance marketplace for individuals and small businesses taking shape is drawing howls from consumer advocates. The House Insurance Committee on Tuesday considered a proposal creating the state’s health benefit exchange, the marketplace of private health plans for those who now have the hardest time finding coverage. States must create their own health benefit exchanges by 2014 or the federal government will do it for
them. Adam Searing of the North Carolina Health Access Coalition says the proposed legislation stacks the deck to protect business interests from real competition. The latest version reserves adds a permanent seat on the 12-member oversight board for insurance agents in addition to the six seats reserved to big business, small business, insurance companies, hospitals and doctors. Two people would represent consumers.

always use the outlets and access they’re given, he said. When requests were made to view the animal shelter’s euthanasia process, the county worked for hours to meet. “In two years, after going through the whole exercise to open the process up, not one person has asked to come in and avail themselves of that opportunity,” Dees said. He said the most common legislative and policy issues brought up are euthanasia, adoption, access to spay and neuter services and the general level of care. During a public comment period, local resident Beth Bowman said advisory boards in other counties do serve as “filtering systems” for public comments and ideas for how to improve the animal shelter. Vice Chairwoman Barbara Andrews made a motion to create a subcommittee to study an advisory board for animal control. Mikkelson seconded the motion, which was approved unanimously. Andrews was appointed chair of the subcommittee, and Mikkelson and Billy Webb, a local dentist, will join her as members. They plan to report back to the board in August.

The records even could be made available online, Dees said, allowing people to view them at will without involving animal control staff in a time-consuming process. He said some groups and individuals have been using public record requests to try to provoke policy and legislative changes. The county animal shelter meets the state minimum standards — though it could choose to go beyond them — and passes regular state inspections, Dees said. As part of the mediation, Rowan County has committed to a study into the possibility of appointing an Animal Control Advisory Committee. “Do you think public record requests would decrease because of it, or do you think the advisory board would deal with the requests?” said Dan Mikkelson, a board member and professional engineer. Dees replied that digitizing records would more directly reduce that burden, but the advisory board could serve as an outlet for people to voice their concerns about local policy and state law. Then again, people don’t
KANNAPOLIS — A Kannapolis man reported that someone broke into his house and stole more than $2,000 worth of his property while he was in jail on drug charges. Jeffery Scott Moss, of 2233 Kenwood Drive, told authorities the items were taken from his home between Feb. 25 and April 8. Moss and his daughter, Sarah Moss, were charged Feb. 25 with trafficking heroin. Property taken from the home included a 42-inch flatscreen television, a video game system, two video cameras, a DVD player, 50 DVDs, two outside surveillance cameras, a digital camera, two cordless drills, $50 worth of food and $50 worth of alcohol. The thefts reported by Moss are separate from a Feb. 27 break in at the home, which also occurred while Moss and his daughter were in jail. After a neighbor reported suspicious activity at the home, Kelly Mann and Christopher Kilby were arrested on allegations of taking items and charged with felony larceny and breaking and entering. Other larcenies and breakins under investigation: • David Lore Jr., of Rockwell Road, reported April 9 that items were taken from several cars parked on his property. Items reportedly taken include a 10-inch table saw, a 12inch double mitre saw, three radiators, two car batteries, a dial clipper, a stand and other tools. Total value of items taken is estimated at $2,250. • Ken Trexler of Granite Quarry reported someone broke into his home April 9 and took $500 in old coins and a laptop valued at $1,000. • Stacy Johnson of Granite Quarry reported someone entered a home on Frontier Circle and took a $3,000 antique ring. • Gina Wilhelm of Salisbury reported someone entered four vehicles parked on her property, taking about $1,200 worth of items.

Husband goes for wild ride during argument SALISBURY — A Salisbury man went for a ride on top of his car Monday night, holding onto the hood of his Dodge Challenger on Gheen Road with his estranged wife behind the wheel, authorities reported. Now both face charges. Jason Michael House, 42, 2175 Gheen Road, told a Rowan County sheriff’s deputy he was inside his home and heard his car’s engine crank. When he went outside, he saw his estranged HOUSE wife, Patricia Wise, 38, of 280 Old Wood Lane, in the driver’s seat. He tried to stop her from leaving by reaching inside the car and grabbing her, but she rolled up the driver’s side window, trapping his arm, the Sheriff’s Office report said. House screamed and Wise rolled the window back down. House said he ran in front of the car and ordered Wise to stop.

WAR
Members of the carolina Ladies aid society let their civil War period dress speak of their status as historians early tuesday morning at Fort Johnson.
FROM 1a
RALLY FROM 1a Debbie Depompa, president of the Kannapolis Association of Educators, said those job cuts are even more reason for her to go to Raleigh. “The main thing that I'm marching for is because I'm concerned about them letting the sales tax sunset when that could save jobs," she said. "I'm not going to notice those few pennies come back to me, but I'm noticing the 19 people in my school that are being told they lost their job." Greg Lowe, president of the Rowan-Salisbury Association of Educators, said with the state facing a $2.4 billion shortfall the sales taxes should stay as is. "We're already paying it," he said. "We won't miss it." But N.C. Rep. Fred Steen, R-Rowan, told the Post that's not likely to happen. "We're going to sunset the sales tax," he said. "There will be no tax increases in the budget." Elizabeth Freeman, a parent of two children who attend Kannapolis City schools, said she's worried about what the reductions could mean to the quality of education "Schools are already operating on the barebone essentials right now," she said. Freeman said losing teacher assistants and support staff could be determental. "My daughter is in first grade. Just imagine one person teaching a room of 18-21 six- and 7-year-old children," she said. "Any disruption will interfere with the education she receives on a daily basis. “They are essential, not a luxury," she said. Lowe said he's also concerned about slashing assistants. "They are priceless at what they do," he said. "There are a lot of misconceptions

historians say. “Should the 150th anniversary of Reconstruction — the first civil rights movement — also be marked?” University of South Carolina history professor Robert Weyeneth said when asked about the nation’s mind-set of Civil War remembrances. “Should the story be continued into the era of Jim Crow segregation where the gains of Reconstruction were undermined? Is the proper end of the story really the modern civil rights movements of the 1950s and 1960s, sometimes called the Second Reconstruction? These remain open questions for how the country and communities choose,” he said. Following in Footsteps At Fort Johnson, state Senate President Pro Tem Glenn McConnell, R-Charleston, touched on several controversial factors that started the war. But he concluded that no matter what someone’s position is, the states of the old Confederacy have long since reaffirmed their role in the nation. “The South is a place where the bonds of affection are strong, and race relations have greatly improved,” he said. McConnell also recognized the contributions of those who took part in the war, which claimed 600,000 lives. “From their long and costly war, they bestowed upon this country enduring peace,” he concluded. Several of those in attendance at Fort Johnson said they could trace their ancestry to those who were in Charleston during the attack. One of them — John Hugh Farley, of Roswell, Ga. — had a distant relative, Henry Saxon Farley, who took part in the original mortar launch
from Fort Johnson. Farley called his involvement a mixed blessing because it brings memories “from way back.” But he added “it helps us to look at history, and learn from history.” After the ceremony ended, several attendees broke out in song, singing the Southern anthem “Dixie.” ‘Our Survival At Stake’ Thurgood Marshall Jr., whose late father was the first black to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, took part in an early afternoon ceremony to unveil two new postage stamps commemorating the war’s earliest battles. Marshall, a Washington lawyer who serves on the U.S. Postal Service’s board of governors, said he was honored to be back in Charleston to mark the 150th anniversary of the firing on Fort Sumter, “an event that we all know changed the course of our history.” “Since the founding of our country, Americans have wrestled with fundamental questions about the scope of freedom,” he said, “and we know that nothing short of our survival as a nation was at stake during the Civil War.” Standing before the enlarged images of two stamps depicting Fort Sumter ablaze and the Battle of Bull Run in northern Virginia, Marshall said the stamps not only will help bind the country together but also celebrate the example that the United States offers every nation. “Today, many issues remain unresolved by this uniquely American war,” he said, “yet one universal truth remains, and that is that we truly are one nation of free men and free women.”
...they do a lot more than grade papers." Lowe said groups of retired educators will head to Raleigh earlier in the day May 3 to speak with legislators about health insurance. "We were promised free health insurance after 30 years of services and it was going until the budget crunch," he said. "Many of our legislators think ti would be a good idea if we paid for it ... we just don't think that's right."
ten to that and fight for our children's needs." Rita Foil, public information officer with the RowanSalisbury School System, said the district is also working to get people to the rally. "We strongly support their effort for our education community to reach out to our legislators urging them about the importance of funding education and the impact that proposed state budget cuts could have on our district," she said. “Our human resources department is working with principals in support of this event so that many of our educators will be able to attend the rally while at the same time assuring that all our classrooms will be appropriately covered during their absences." Lowe said he's worked with local churches to provide vans for people to take to Raleigh. And he said those who are unable to attend the event have been signing a petition in support of keeping the current sales tax. He's also been out spreading the word to civic groups and posting flyers at businesses throughout the county. "We're basically gathering support wherever we can," he said. "Everyone is invited to attend because everyone will be affected by the cuts in public education," there is absolutely no where you can hide and not be affected."
Garnering support Kannapolis City Schools has been working for days to gather support for the education rally. The school system has arranged for two activity busses to transport parents and teachers to Raleigh. And Freeman, Parent/Teacher Organization vice-president at Forest Park, said the group is also working with people to make car pool arrangements. The district is also hoping to partner with local churches to provide transportation to the event. The PTO has also been out talking to local civic organizations and businesses about the possible cuts. "We want to motivate our community and our business leaders to rally behind the schools because these children are our future work force," Freeman said. "This is an investment in our community, that's why they should support us as well." Freeman said the group has been giving presentations about how cuts will affect not only the district, but each individual school. "I think a lot of people are surprised," she said. "They've always heard about what's happening Charlotte-Mecklenburg, but they don't realize it's happening at their back door, in their child's school. "I'm hoping that parents will understand that and lis-

the High Battery to watch, as special lights bathed the fort in red and blue. Nearby, a few hundred gathered to hear a brass ensemble played restrained hymns under the White Point Garden gazebo. As day broke around the harbor, groups of Confederate re-enactors played their part, rising to let loose volleys of smoky salvos, symbolizing the start of 34 hours of siege that began April 12, 1861. White puffs helped identify the numerous cannon positions, including at least 11 guns perched high on a berm near Patriots Point. Inside the fort, about two dozen Union re-enactors hunkered down. While a light rain briefly interrupted the day’s events, dawn broke cloudless and clear for the 700 people gathered at Fort Johnson on James Island to witness a mortar and flare firing that signified Brig. Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard’s orders for war. At 6:45 a.m., a thunderous boom rattled glass in adjacent buildings, while a signal flare shot up from a second nearby position. It more resembled a fired bottle rocket than a powerful wartime burst, reaching a height of about 40 yards. A representative of the pyrotechnics company later explained the shot was made to be weak, as a safety precaution for the nearby crowd. Another barrage would follow around dusk. Where should it end? Re-enactors said they would not have missed being part of Charleston’s sesquicentennial for anything, saying it was a chance to drift back in time. “This is one of the four pivotal events of U.S. history,” said Mike Lussier, of Charleston, a member of the Confederate crew that fired the authentic 1847 seacoast mortar brought in from Wisconsin. Lussier grouped Fort Sumter’s bombardment in with July Fourth, December 7 and 9/11 as the defining points of American history. “We lost more people because of what happened here than all the wars since,” he said. Charleston’s handling of its many Civil War events this week will help set the tone for how such ceremonies will unfold in other communities. But there remain lingering questions on how best to do it, some

Scientific tricks help make dessert even better BY SYLVIA ANDREWS sandrews@salisburypost.com
hey say that some things get better with age. Mind you, that’s not saying that everything gets better as it ages, my body being one of them. Why it can’t keep up with my demands I don’t understand. But such is life, and some things actually do improve with age, including pound cakes. Flavors intensify, texture becomes more dense and delectable ... luscious. And since pound cakes keep almost forever, you won’t be disappointed with the flavor down to the last crumb. We can thank the British for what we know as the pound cake in America. Supposedly it inherited its name by the measure of ingredients that were originally used in the cake: one pound butter, one pound sugar, one pound eggs and one pound flour. No baking powder was used, eggs being the only source of leavening and liquid. However, after baking the following recipes (and feeling very Betty Crockerish) I’ve decided that the name actually indicates what happens to your body as you enjoy these temptations: a gain of about one pound per slice. But again, such is life. You can always extend the workout at the YMCA to sidestep the guilt. One of my favorite cookbooks is “The Perfect Cake” by Susan G. Purdy, who dedicates an entire section to pound cakes. Purdy expertly explains the science of pound cakes, delving into their history and chemistry, and offers hints and tips for successful pound cakes, as well as a section on trouble-shooting. She recommends using a shiny metal loaf, tube or Bundt pan rather that dark steel, as dark pans cause the outside of the cake to brown too fast before the inside is baked through. I baked the Cream Cheese Pound Cake,
T
recipe following, in a dark pan and was disappointed with how the crust turned out — a little too done on the outside. I also learned in baking all of these that it’s beneficial after spooning the batter into the tube pan to slowly run a thin spatula through the batter — a few times around the pan — to even out the batter and release any large air bubbles. Because of the thickness of the batter, this facilitates the cake baking up more evenly. Purdy also suggests something I’ve heard other bakers say: place a 2-cup glass measuring cup of water in the oven with the cake to help maintain moisture. She also allows her pound cakes to cool 20 minutes instead of the traditional 10 minutes before removing from the pan, to prevent the cake from sinking or breaking apart. It is also normal, according to Purdy, for the top of pound cakes to split as they bake from the pressure of the steam that escapes during baking. So don’t feel you’ve somehow missed the opportunity of the perfect pound cake if the top splits. In fact, I’ve found it’s pretty difficult to mess up a pound cake. As I’ve experimented with these recipes, I took samples of several of them to work (you can’t trust the husband’s opinion alone), even though I felt some weren’t prize-winning. As I said, the Cream Cheese Pound Cake I thought was a little dry on the surface, but folks really liked the almost crunchy sweetness of it. And the Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake that I thought needed to have baked a couple more minutes got raves and “Oh, that’s how I like it!” It is true that you need to keep a watchful eye toward the end of the estimated baking time, checking every few minutes for doneness with a long pick in the center of the cake. After you’ve baked a few,

Classic Pound Cake “The Perfect Cake,” Susan G. Purdy This is the real thing: butter, sugar, eggs and flour each weigh one pound. Purdy recommends a touch of brandy, rum, juice or extract if you’re put off by the blandness. As is, it serves as a good base for strawberries in season with a dollop of whipped cream. Or fresh peaches and cream. 41⁄ 2 C. sifted cake flour 1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 2 C. (4 sticks) lightly salted butter 21⁄ 4 C. granulated sugar 8 large eggs, separated, at room temperature 2 tsp. vanilla extract 2 T. flavoring: brandy, dark rum or fruit juice This recipe makes two 9x5x3 loaves. Grease pans and dust evenly with flour, tapping out the excess. Sift together flour, baking powder and 1⁄2 tsp. salt onto a sheet of wax paper. Set aside. In a mixing bowl, use a spoon or hand mixer to beat the butter until soft and fluffy. Do not overwhip to avoid mixing too much air into the batter. Gradually add 11⁄2 C. sugar, beating until mixture is very light and creamy. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating after each addition. Batter should be pale yellow color and very creamy. Scrape down inside of bowl and the beaters. Beat in the vanilla and other flavoring. You can mix flavorings, such as rum and lemon juice or brandy and orange juice, but keep total amount to 2 tablespoons. By hand or with mixer on lowest speed, gradually add flour mixture to batter in 5 or 6 additions. Batter will be quite stiff. In a clean bowl with clean beater, whip the egg whites with remaining 1⁄2 tsp. salt until fluffy. Gradually beat in remaining 3⁄4 C. sugar, whipping until the whites are stiff but not dry. Stir about 1 C. of the whites into the batter to soften it. A little at a time, fold in remaining whites. At first this is hard going, but the batter smooths out quickly. Divide batter between the prepared pans and bake in preheated oven approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the cake tops are golden brown, the centers are well risen and a cake tester comes out clean. Cool both cakes in their pans on wire rack for about 20 minutes. Then slide a knife around the cake sides to loosen. Tip each cake out, set upright on rack and cool completely. Do not frost. Flavors mellow and cakes slice better the day after baking.
Sour Cream Pound Cake

etables for the same number of calories. The fruit and vegetable plate offers enough food to fill you up for a lot longer than the cinnamon bun. Additionally the cinnamon bun is high in sugar, which will provide you ready energy, but once the “sugar high” wears off (within one to two hours) and glucose levels in the blood go down, it often leaves you feeling drained or unnaturally tired. Fruits and vegetables provide a feeling of fullness and that feeling full is one reason we stop eating. Eating more fruit and vegetables helps you feel full sooner, while eating fewer calories. So, you can eat more to weigh less, provided that you are eating lots of lowenergy-density foods like fruit and vegetables! Another reason that fruit is great for us to eat
Chocolate Nut Spice Pound Cake with Chocolate Icing What collection of ANY variety of cakes would be complete without a chocolate offering? This one is also from my sister and includes her Chocolate Icing to finish, but I’ve added an alternative glaze to top it off. Note that pan preparation includes dusting the pan with sugar rather than flour. Since this cake is darker on the surface than others (chocolate), flour tends to be visible when you remove the cake from the pan. The sugar gives a lovely crystally appearance, rather than the dusting of flour. This cake was delicious from the start but got so much denser each day, that by day five, the top inch of the cake was almost fudgy. I’m sure some of that is from the frosting soaking into the cake, but whatever it may be, it is absolutely irresistible! No “just one piece” with this one! 1 C. butter 1 ⁄2 C. shortening 3 C. sugar 5 large eggs 3 C. all-purpose, unbleached flour 1 ⁄2 C. cocoa 11⁄2 to 2 tsp. cinnamon 1 ⁄2 tsp. ginger 1 ⁄4 tsp. salt 1 C. milk 2 tsp. vanilla 1 C. chopped nuts Grease a tube pan generously and dust with sugar, not flour. Cream butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time until yellow disappears. Sift together flour, cocoa, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Add to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour, mixing just until blended. Add vanilla and chopped nuts. Bake in 300 degree oven for 11⁄2 to 2 hours until cake tests done with long pick inserted near middle. Cool on rack for 20 minutes and turn out onto platter. Cool until just lukewarm before frosting.
Chocolate Icing
This competes with Cream Cheese Pound Cake as most folks’ favorite. While similar to the Cream Cheese variety, this is a little lighter and slightly moister. I think you’ll agree, this cake needs absolutely nothing poured, sprinkled or spread over it. I realize we all have different palates, but when this hits the mouth, you can’t help but think, “Now this is what cake is supposed to taste like!” Enjoy!

Separate eggs. Mix sour cream and baking soda and set aside. Beat butter and sugar until creamy and then add egg yolks, one at a time, mixing just until yellow disappears. Add sour cream, then mix in flour, spice and salt and mix until well-blended. Add flavorings. Whip egg whites until fluffy and fold into batter with a spatula just to blend. Bake 13⁄4 hours at 300 degrees in greased and floured tube pan. Test cake in middle with long pick until it comes out clean, being careful not to overbake. Cool 20 minutes on wire rack before removing from pan for complete cooling.
Combine 2 C. confectioners sugar with 1⁄3 C. cocoa, 1⁄4 C. melted butter, 5 T. cream and 1 tsp. vanilla. Mix well until smooth. Slowly pour over cake, letting icing run down sides of cake. If cake is still too warm, icing will run too much. Garnish with nuts and shaved chocolate.
Alternative: Ganache Chocolate Glaze This is one of my favorite toppings for almost anything chocolate. A ganache has very few ingredients and is simple to prepare. It is poured over the cake — which is almost completely cooled — for a silky finish that remains like fudge beneath the high gloss glaze. I think I love this because it fin-

Just like fruit, they are high in fiber content. Let’s use the same two selections, again peanut butter cheese crackers and cherry tomatoes. The tomatoes have 12 times the fiber of the crackers. The fiber content of vegetables is one reason why we feel full when we eat lots of vegetables.

Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake I found this recipe in the July/August 1998 Cooking Light magazine, and it’s one of my favorites. It is a truly remarkable cake, full of flavor and moist as they come; and to top it off, it’s lower fat than most pound cakes.

Cream Cheese Pound Cake This is what most of us think of when we say pound cake. A somewhat dense cake, it is nonetheless rich, moist and packed with flavor. This is perfect for those times you want something slightly sweet, yet not slathered with frosting.

Cherry Date Nut Pound Cake with White Chocolate Glaze (Also known as Christmas Pound Cake) This recipe was designed by my sister, Janet Sharrett in Lakeland, Fla. Actually, she should be writing this column as she has become quite a more accomplished baker than me. But she was glad to share this with us. This cake really surprised me. When first baked, I was not really pleased with the flavor, but this one grew more moist and dense with each day it aged. It just got better and better. I recommend using the White Chocolate Glaze that follows, as it adds a candy-like finish to the cake. You could easily bake this two or three days before planning to serve it, which I actually recommend.

SENATOR HARTSELL’S PROPOSAL
A cash carrot for students ould students in the state’s public schools work harder if they had a $1,000 carrot dangling in front of them each school year? Are such incentives even feasible for a state with 1.4 million students? That’s the question Sen. Fletcher Hartsell and others want a legislative study commission to investigate over the next two years. Hartsell introduced a bill last month to create the Innovations in Education Legislative Study Commission, which would have a budget of $100,000 over two years. Raise your eyebrows if you will, but think about it. What problems plague the schools and hold students back? To name a few, high dropout rates, discipline problems, lack of motivation and lack of parental involvement. The promise of a $1,000 check at the end of the school year might indeed motivate students — and their hitherto uninvolved parents — to participate in the education process. And the investment would be well worth it to the state if the students go on to be productive, law-abiding citizens. Financial rewards already await students who earn a high school diploma. According to one Census report, the average annual income for a high school dropout in 2005 was $17,299, while high school graduates earned $26,933 — a difference of $9,634. College graduates averaged more than $50,000. Unfortunately, those are very distant goals for a young person whose mind is wandering in third grade — or 11th grade. Even a $1,000 check at the end of the school year might require more delayed gratification than some kids can muster. They live in the here and now, as their parents often do. But Hartsell didn’t invent the concept, and successful efforts in other parts of the country might indeed be worthy of study. The Harvard Education Letter lists several in one report. “Middle-school students in Washington, D.C., can bank as much as $1,500 per year for high grades, good attendance, and exemplary behavior, including wearing their school uniforms each day,” the report says. “In Chicago, ninth and tenth graders can earn up to $200 every five weeks. Flunk one class and you lose all your earnings for that grading period, but ace your classes all year and you can earn up to $2,000. Half is payable at the end of the year — but to collect the other half, you have to stay in school until graduation.” The Department of Justice says the average annual operating cost per state inmate in 2001 was $22,650. Such figures are often cited when schools want to raise money for dropout prevention programs. Here’s one that would put the money directly in the hands of students who apply themselves. It’s worth considering.

SALISBURY POST
RCHBOLD, Ohio — Here in Middle America, where farmland extends to the horizon, I pass an inspirational yard sign: “SelfControl: Having a Life Purpose Bigger Than Self.” It’s a message our representatives in Washington would do well to learn, especially after months of raucous partisan bickering that nearly culminated in another “government CAL shutdown.” Here in THOMAS Archbold, farmers still labor to produce crops from the soil. In Washington, liberal politicians and lobbyists labor to produce careers for themselves and pry more “entitlements” from overburdened taxpayers to give to people who in some cases have not earned them. People have been taught envy and entitlement in ways that would have shocked and angered our relatives who survived the Great Depression on far less. A simple web search finds numerous Depression-era survival stories, which puts into perspective for those living now the concept of living through “hard times.” In a 2009 story in the Sagi-
naw News, writer Sarah workers on the payroll than Nothelfer quoted 79-year-old people manufacturing indusJean R.

been. The kabuki theater that passes for reasoned debate in Washington is nothing more than rhetoric that has been tested before focus groups for political gain. Too many politicians are telling their constituents, not necessarily what they believe, but what they think they want to hear. And this is why little gets done in Washington and why we are losing our liberty. Back to that 2009 Saginaw, Mich., story about Depression survivors and what they think of today's complainers: “What happened,” said the Rev. Edward R. Pankow, 80, pastoremeritus at St. Peter Lutheran Church in Hemlock, “is people just got too much too easily. The more you wanted, the more you got.” Democrats hauled out their familiar playbook about starving grannies and women who would supposedly be denied treatment for breast cancer if the government had shut down. This time it didn’t work. It was clear Republicans won round one of the budget battle when Obama adviser David Plouffe said on “Meet the Press” last Sunday that the president would seek new cuts, even in Medicare and Medicaid. Can they keep up the momentum? • • • Email Cal Thomas at tmseditors@tribune.com.
Gasoline hikes fuel tax debate ALEIGH — We’ve been here before. The last time came following Hurricane Katrina, in 2005 and 2006. Refineries shut down. Speculators jumped in. Gas prices started rising. North Carolina’s gas tax, which rises or falls every six months based on the wholesale price of gas, climbed with the increases. A Republican gubernatorial candidate tried to turn the tax into a campaign bludgeon. Feeling the pressure, Democratic legislators popped his gas SCOTT balloon by temporarily MOONEYHAM capping the tax. That temporary cap ended two years ago. Today, with revolution in the air and on the ground in oil-rich Libya, the price of gas is back on the rise. The tax could go up with it come July. Legislative Republicans are again discussing a tax cap. There are, of course, some differences between 2011 and 2006. North Carolina and the nation are still struggling to shake off recession. For state government, the bill for that recession is just now coming due, as federal stimulus dollars disappear. Tax collections still haven’t recovered. The good news is that North Carolina generally separates its highway tax collections from its general operating tax collections. Gas taxes go primarily to highway construction, meaning any cap shouldn’t affect teaching jobs or public university budgets. What a tax cap — or a drop in tax collections — will do is slow down highway construction and maintenance. The proponents of a gas tax cap say that’s not necessarily the case. Some highway tax collection dollars, about $73 million, do feed into the state’s general operating budget. Critics of that money movement like to call it a “raid” or “supplanting,” but it is part of a swap that’s been in place since the creation of the Highway Trust Fund in the late 1980s. Gasoline and other highway-related taxes also pay for the operation of the state Highway Patrol and drivers education programs in the public schools. But trying to significantly cut either would be both foolish and politically risky. Understanding that, thoughts that capping the tax won’t slow down road construction and maintenance are really just wishful thinking. Capping the tax at its current 32.5 cents per gallon will save taxpayers, though. The state DOT estimates the old tax cap saved motorists $540 million during the three years that it was in place. Not that all those drivers were North Carolinians. Plenty of gasolineis bought by motorists just driving through. What North Carolinians and their elected representatives need to decide is whether saving $20 or $30 a year is worth driving through a few more potholes or waiting an additional six months for that nearby road project. • • • Scott Mooneyham writes about state government for Capitol Press Association.

Students already studying nation’s founding principles In response to the Founding Principles Act, co-sponsored by Rowan Reps. Harry Warren and Fred Steen, I would like to inform the public and our lawmakers that it is mandatory that every student in this state takes civics and economics and U.S. history. In Rowan County, except for Salisbury High School, every student takes civics and economics in the 10th grade and U.S. history in the 11th. Students study the rights, responsibilities and duties of citizens, the formation and organization of our government, the principles and specifics of the Constitution and the branches of government, the settlement of America, the principles underlying American domestic and foreign policy over time, and the foundations of the U.S. economic system and how it differs from other countries. In short, civics and economics and U.S. history already teach the material included in the Founding Principles Act. Both courses currently have a mandatory state test at the end, but those tests will be dropped next year due to budget cuts. Passage of these assessments was mandatory until the North Carolina Department of Instruction made it possible for students to be waived if not proficient. I would also like to inform these representatives that it is their job to do thorough research before legislating. Call a teacher, ask students about their classes, look at a textbook or reference the North Carolina Standard Course of Study that outlines the curriculum before making decisions concerning education. One of the most detrimental issues facing education, and there are many, is ignorant legislation created by uninformed lawmakers placing redundant and unfunded demands on local school systems. Ignorant legislation also denigrates teachers and students by not recognizing the work they already perform. Please, before drafting or endorsing future legislation, do your research, speak with those in the field and make informed decisions instead of co-sponsoring ignorant legislation to placate uninformed blocks of your political base. — Lauren Raper Spencer

Water heater savings Recently AARP magazine stated that 20 percent of electric bills comes from use of the electric water heater. Since the electric water heater consumes 20 percent of the electric bill, I cut my water heater off for extended periods of time. I normally run it for about three hours every other day; the temperature is set on 120 degrees, plus I have a cover jacket wrapped on the heater to keep it insulated. The results from my last electric bill showed 707 units (kWh) used. The previous bill was 1,523 units used. I live alone and now save money as a result of my change in habits. Locate the water-heater switch on the breaker box and begin a new routine in your life. — Ed Moose Albemarle
Dumped cats find rescuer I wish to “thank” the person or persons who committed the cowardly act of dropping off a mother cat and kittens on April 10 near the parking lot of the Salisbury Recreation Center adjacent to City Park. I am sure you thought they would run into the park; however, they took up residence under my shed. I will let you know they are safe at this point, as if you may care. Now, I am left to do what you did not have the dignity to do; find someone to take these abandoned cats that once were your pets. Please, never take in pets again. If anyone would like to adopt this cat or her kittens, my phone number is in the book. — Blaine Gorney Salisbury

Ivory Coast generals pledge allegiance to president ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (AP) — Five generals pledged their loyalty to President Alassane Ouattara on Tuesday following the capture of the country’s strongman leader after a four-month standoff, as French and Ivorian forces worked to eliminate the last pockets of resistance. Ouattara’s spokesman Patrick Achi confirmed that the generals who had been fighting on Laurent Gbagbo’s side right up until his capture swore allegiance before Ouattara one by one at the Golf Hotel, where he set up his presidency after Gbagbo re-
China aircraft carrier symbolic of shifting military balance WASHINGTON (AP) — China’s first aircraft carrier could begin sea trials as early as this summer and its de-
ployment would significantly change the perception of the balance of power in the region, the chief of U.S. forces in the Pacific said Tuesday. China bought the vessel from Ukraine more than a decade ago, and it is viewed as emblematic of the communist state’s ambition to be a military power that can challenge America’s decades-long supremacy in the west Pacific. China’s state news agency this month carried photos of the carrier in what it said was the final stages of reconstruction. “Based on the feedback from our partners and allies in the Pacific, I think the change in perception by the region will be significant,” Adm. Robert Willard told the Senate Armed Services Committee. Willard also noted the “remarkable growth” of China’s military. But he viewed that impact as largely symbolic, as there would be a long period of training, development and exercises before the carrier becomes operational. The U.S. Pacific Command led by Willard has five aircraft carrier strike groups, which it has used to project American power across a region key to global trade. However, China’s military buildup, which includes the rapid development of ballistic missiles and cyber warfare capabilities, has spooked its neighbors and could potentially crimp the U.S. forces’ freedom to operate.

tails of the killings to themselves, but the revelations have shaken some veteran officers.
GARDEN CITY, N.Y. (AP) — The number of possible victims of a serial killer rose to 10 on Tuesday after authorities confirmed that two sets of remains found along a New York highway a day earlier are human. Authorities have not definitively linked all the remains found in the past five months to the same suspect, but they have said four Craigslist escorts found in December were likely victims of a serial killer. Police happened upon the first set of four remains while searching for a missing New Jersey prostitute last seen in a nearby community nearly a year ago. That woman has yet to be found. Police searching late last month along Ocean Parkway discovered a fifth body, which prompted authorities to commence a widespread search involving dozens of officers, dogs, helicopters, mounted units and volunteer firefighters. That effort led to the discovery April 4 of three more sets of remains and two more on Monday near Jones Beach State Park. Police investigating the deaths have kept many de-

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Sweden’s Foreign Ministry says an American citizen was arrested in North Korea and that Swedish diplomats are representing the U.S. in the case. Ministry spokesman Teo Zetterman says “an American citizen has been detained in North Korea. That’s all we can say.” He told the AP on Tuesday that Sweden is dealing with North Korean authorities on behalf of the U.S. in the case. Zetterman wouldn’t give the name of the American citizen or discuss the circumstances or date of the American’s arrest, referring questions to the U.S. State Department. The Swedish Embassy in Pyongyang represents the United States because the U.S. doesn’t have diplomatic relations with North Korea.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The historic $38 billion in budget cuts resulting from attimes hostile bargaining between Congress and the Obama White House were accomplished in large part by pruning money left over from previous years, using accounting sleight of hand and going after programs President Barack Obama had targeted anyway. Such moves permitted Obama to save favorite programs — Pell grants for college students, health research and “Race to the Top” aid for public schools, among others — from Republican knives, according to new details of the legislation released Tuesday morning. And big holes in foreign aid and Environmental Protection Agency accounts were patched in large part. Republicans also gave up politically treacherous cuts to the Agriculture Department’s food inspection program. The details of the agreement reached late Friday night just ahead of a deadline for a partial government shutdown reveal a lot of onetime savings and cuts that officially “score” as cuts to pay for spending elsewhere, but often have little to no actual impact on the deficit. As a result of that sleight of hand, Obama was able to reverse many of the cuts passed by House Republicans in February when the chamber approved a bill slashing this year’s budget by more than $60 billion. In doing so, the White House protected favorites like the Head Start early learning program, while maintaining the maximum Pell grant of $5,550 and funding for Obama’s “Race to the Top” initiative that provides grants to better-performing schools. Food aid to the poor was preserved, as were housing subsidies.
US citizen detained in North Korea; Swedish officials working case
the same level as the 1986 Chernobyl disaster — even as it insisted Tuesday that radiation leaks are declining at its tsunami-crippled nuclear plant. The higher rating is an open acknowledgement of what was widely understood already: The nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi plant is the second-worst in history. It does not signal a worsening of the plant’s status in recent days or any new health dangers. Still, people living nearby who have endured a month of spewing radiation and frequent earthquakes said the change in status added to their unease despite government efforts to play down any notion that the crisis poses immediate health risks. Miyuki Ichisawa closed her coffee shop this week when the government added her community, Iitate village, and four others to places people should leave to avoid long-term radiation exposure. The additions expanded the 12-mile zone where people had already been ordered to evacuate soon after the March 11 tsunami swamped the plant. “And now the government is officially telling us this accident is at the same level of Chernobyl,” Ichisawa said. “It’s very shocking to me.”

fused to acknowledge losing the November presidential election. Doh Ouattara, a member of the security team at the hotel, said Gbagbo, his wife and entourage were in a suite there. He said the lower-level officials traveling with Gbagbo had been sealed inside the bar of the luxury hotel. U.N. deputy spokesman Farhan Haq said that “contrary to earlier information, Laurent Gbagbo remains at the Golf Hotel in Abidjan.” He gave no further explanation. Earlier Tuesday, Haq had said that Gbagbo was not at the Golf Hotel anymore and was at an undisclosed location outside Abidjan. It was not clear what led to the confusion. More than 1 million civilians fled their homes and untold numbers were killed in the more than four-month power struggle between the two rivals. The standoff threatened to re-ignite a civil war in the world’s largest cocoa producer, once divided in two by violence nearly a decade ago.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Despite rebel setbacks and an increasingly public rift with NATO allies, the U.S. will stick to its plan to remain in the back seat of the Libya air campaign, the Obama administration insisted Tuesday after three weeks of air missions that have failed to turn the tide against Moammar Gadhafi. France’s defense minister declared that without full American participation, the West probably would not be able to stop attacks by Gadhafi loyalists on besieged rebel cities. U.S. officials said they were comfortable with their role and had no plans to step up involvement, even as British and French officials said Washington’s military might was needed to ensure the mission’s success. The Americans said NATO could carry out the operation without a resumption of the heavy U.S. efforts that kicked it off last month. “The president and this administration believes that NATO, and the coalition of which we remain a partner, is capable of fulfilling that mission of enforcing the nofly zone, enforcing the arms embargo and providing civilian protection,” White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters. “The U.S. has not abandoned this operation by any means,” State Department spokesman Mark Toner said. “We still are offering support where we can. I don’t think it’s correct to say that there’s somehow discord in the alliance.”

Signing South Rowan’s talented Kowalczyk headed to Saint Andrews/3B
BY BILL REYNOLDS So it ends for Manny Ramirez. Not in some elaborate farewell ceremony. Not to cheers and applause. Not in any public appreciation. In an announcement that came out of nowhere Friday afternoon, one week into a new season, complete with revelations that he tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug, and was going to be suspended for a 100 games from his new team, the Tampa Bay Rays. Bang the drum slowly. It all seems sad. He is one of the great hitters of his generation, maybe of any gen-

Then again, Manny Ramirez always was complicated, a baseball version of a riddle wrapped in an enigma. On the surface he was a great story, the kid from the Dominican Republic who found his way to the Dominican enclave of Washington Heights in New York City, and became one of the best hitters in the game’s long history. On another level, he had arrived with many of the problems

GRANITE QUARRY — If anyone was happy to see rain yesterday afternoon, it was probably Salisbury’s Philip Tonseth. Tonseth, one of Rowan’s top long-distance runners, was scratched for Tuesday’s Rowan County track meet because he was needed for the Hornet baseball team. But the rain was his ally. The meet was called off and rescheduled for today at East Rowan. East coach Rick Roseman said the rain started about 3:50 p.m., about 10 minutes before the beginning of the meet. “It started drizzling and never stopped,” Roseman said. “The track was covered.” While Tonseth is expected to run, some of the other big names won’t.

Hornets defeat Eagles BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — Salisbury s e n i o r Salisbury 14 Philip TonE. Davidson 7 seth reports to West Point for basic training in June and apparently has decided to be all that he can be a little earlier than scheduled. Tonseth hit a grand slam for the s e c o n d straight game on Tuesday and also was the winning pitcher in a 14-7 CCC vicTONSETH tory against East Davidson. Tonseth took the mound for the first time since April 1 and was more effective than the final score sounds. He allowed two hits the first five innings before running out of gas in the sixth. “He’s had a little bit of arm soreness,” Salisbury coach Scott Maddox explained. “But he threw pretty well and our defense (especially second baseman John Knox) made good plays behind him.” Salisbury (8-4, 4-1) entered the night in a four-way tie for first place and exited in a twoway tie with West Davidson’s Green Dragons. “It’s a wide-open league,” East coach Dan Tricarico declared. “We just didn’t play well, and Salisbury played a good game overall. They definitely deserved to win it.” The Hornets expected a fight against ED ace Tyler Lequire, who dominated them in 2010. Lequire pitched a twohit shutout vs. the Hornets in the regular season and a fourhitter that knocked SHS out of the CCC tournament.

Rowan’s top wrestler: Shaffer BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
GRANITE QUARRY — As a seventh-grader, Kory Shaffer wasn’t a bad kid, but he was searching for direction. That’s when the East Rowan senior discovered wrestling. Or maybe wrestling discovered him. “My dad passed away when I was a fifth-grader,” Shaffer said. “I had all this stress inside me, and I needed to find something. I needed to find it pretty bad.”
After humble beginnings, Shaffer’s talent and work ethic took hold. By eighth grade, he was starting every match. At East, he’s been pushed by tenacious teammates and molded by caring coaches into something special. He was 32-3 this season and placed third at 135 pounds in the 3A state tournament. Veteran East head coach Barry Justus, who logged his 300th win in January, had the honor of informing Shaffer he was this school year’s Dutch Meyer Award winner as the
county’s top wrestler. He’s East’s first winner since Hunter Land in 2002. “That blew my mind,” Shaffer said. “Credit my coaches. It’s been a heck of a four years. They never gave up on me.” Besides Justus, Shaffer lauded assistants Danny Misenheimer, quite a wrestler for the Mustangs in his day, and Scott Swain. “Coach Justus was always there for me, I learned so much from Coach Misenheimer, and Coach Swain always kept my head straight,” Shaffer said.
Shaffer isn’t tall, but he’s built like a fullback. He was a 103-pound eighth-grader. Since then he’s inched up in weight class every year, and he’s sustained success. “Besides being a worker, Kory has a high distaste for losing, and he will compete for all six minutes of a match,” Justus said. “That makes him very dangerous. As long as there’s time on the clock, Kory is dangerous.” Shaffer’s emotional affair with wrestling is mostly love, but that af-

Tiger says swing change paying off Associated Press
DONGGUAN, China — Tiger Woods believes his reworked swing has restored some of the fun and excitement to his game, and is a big reason why he played so well at the Masters. The former top-ranked golfer, who finished in a tie for fourth place Sunday at Augusta National, was already back at work Tuesday, promoting the sport and his sponsors on a trip to China. “I hit the ball really well on the weekend and made some shots — those are shots I know I can hit. That was fun and AssociAted press exciting,” Woods said at the Mission Hills tiger Woods shows off his form while conducting a clinic in Dongguan clubhouse near the southern china on tuesday. Chinese city Shenzhen. “It’s really start-
ing to feel pretty good. This week was a pretty good week.” The 14-time major champion hasn’t won a title since returning from a fivemonth break after revelations of marital infidelity last year. But at the Masters, he made a strong run with four birdies and an eagle on the front nine of the final round before faltering on the back. But while kicking off an Asian promotional tour, Woods credited swing coach Sean Foley, who started working with him at last year’s PGA Championship. “I played well and unfortunately just came up a little short on the back nine. But it was a fun front nine on Sunday. That was fun. Had a blast,” Woods said.
“It was fun being in the mix. Unfortunately didn’t get it done.” Woods hasn’t won a tournament since his return last year. “When I was 25, I was on tour and having a pretty good run out there at the time, won a few tournaments right about that age,” Woods said. “And at 35, I haven’t won a thing.” But despite being happy with the overhaul of his driving, Woods told fans during an afternoon clinic that his putting was lacking, adding that his next goal is to fine-tune his short game. Woods’ off-the-course troubles don’t appear to have diminished his populari-

Kowalczyk to St. Andrews Knights get Raider outfielder BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
LANDIS — Tyler Kowalczyk’s acceptance letter from St. Andrews Presbyterian College began with the surprising salutation: “Dear Taco.” Kowalczyk, South Rowan’s senior center fielder, officially lists his nickname as the less original “Special K,” but he is “Taco” to his teammates, his opponents and even head coach Thad Chrismon. “Because Taco is just a whole lot easier to say than Kowalczyk,” Chrismon said. W h i l e some have theorized that CHRISMON “Taco” is shorthand for Kowalczyk’s first and last names, Kowalczyk explained that the nickname derives exclusively from his fondness for a certain Mexican dish. “We were at a showcase tournament and everyone wanted to go to Wendy’s except (Carson shortstop) Gunnar Hogan’s father and me,” Kowalczyk explained. “The rest went to Wendy’s, but we went and got tacos and brought them back. After that, I was ‘Taco.’ It stuck. I guess it’s still sticking.” Kowalczyks are most frequently found in Poland, but South has benefited from the arrival of one family of Special K’s in Landis. “We moved here from Pennsylvania when I was 6 or 7,” Kowalczyk said. “My mother went to Penn State. I can remember Penn State football games were a really big deal.” Baseball has always been Kowalczyk’s game, not football. That’s a good thing because he’s 5-foot-10 and there’s no excess weight on him.
tyler buckwell/SALISBURY POST
South Rowan’s Tyler Kowalczyk leads off first base during a recent victory over North Rowan.
“I might be 150 pounds in jeans and a jacket,” he said. Kowalczyk overcomes what he lacks in size and power with his wheels and glove. “I understand hitting is my weakest point,” he said. “In showcase ball, you see nothing but aces. When I get a hit, I’m just so happy.” Chrismon figures Kowalczyk’s college playing time will depend on how much his bat develops. The rest of his game is college-ready. “He has good baseball skills,” Chrismon said. “He can bunt. He can hit with two strikes. He has a very good arm and exceptional defensive ability. He’s got this unique burst of speed that helps him steal bases and get
a good jump on flyballs.” Kowalczyk is an excellent student (a weighted 4.0 GPA with his AP classes). His grades gave him options as far as taking his baseball career to the next level. He was contacted by several schools, but his choice came down to Conference Carolinas rivals St. Andrews and Limestone. He chose St. Andrews’ offer that combined baseball money with academic scholarships. The Laurinburg-based Knights, struggling along at 831, can use some help. Kowalczyk is a terrific athlete. He’s been a state indoor track qualifier twice in the 4x 800 relay, and he became a strong cross country runner when he took up that sport as
a freshman. “I was having back trouble,” Kowalczyk said. “My doctor told me distance running would exercise some different muscle groups. I was going to do the running on my own, but guys were bugging me to run with the cross country team. I’m glad I did it. I wasn’t bad.” Actually, he was excellent. He finished second in the Rowan County Meet as a sophomore in the fall of 2008, but he didn’t run as a junior, electing to concentrate on baseball. “You have to have that passion for running,” Kowalczyk said. “I didn’t have it because my passion is baseball. I did came back to cross country as a senior, but it was mostly to
get in shape for baseball.” Late in his sophomore season, Kowalczyk made his varsity baseball debut. He went 4-for-10 and made a favorable impression on Chrismon. “He fit in, and his teammates loved him,” Chrismon said. “He’s always been able to find his role.” His role as a junior was as the right fielder and No. 9 hitter, setting the table for stars Maverick Miles and Blake Houston. He batted .338 and had a torrid nine-game in which he batted .560. He made the all-county team. “I enjoyed playing right field, especially at South where there’s so much room out there,” Kowalczyk said. “I like those diving catches.”
As a senior, Kowalczyk has shifted over to center and up to the leadoff spot. He hasn’t had one of his hot streaks yet, but he’s been steady. He’s batting .357 with nine steals. “Taco doesn’t say much, but he works as hard as anyone,” Chrismon said. “I’ve never once had to tell him, ‘Pick it up. You need to go harder.’ ” Chrismon and first-year St. Andrews coach Matt Boykin were neighbors growing up in Apex. Boykin was a strong recruiter for Appalachian State before taking the head job at St. Andrews, and Chrismon is convinced Boykin will get things turned around. That “Dear Taco” letter might be the first step.
SALISBURY FROM 1B
jon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST
East Rowan will be dedicating its meet today to former teammate Cody Ludwick, who died of a heart condition recently.
TRACK FROM 1B Fans will be disappointed that Salisbury’s two-time state champion in the 100 and 200 meters, Romar Morris, has been scratched. He is still being hampered by a tweaked hamstring, suffered two weeks ago at Mooresville. It could open the door for someone like West Rowan’s Tevin Gregory or even East Rowan’s Ben Hancock. Hancock has been impressive, running a 10.9 100 and a 22.43 200. Also scratched in the 110 hurdles is West’s Daishion Barger, who suffered a broken hand recently. He is expected to run the 100. Tonseth’s emergence could help Salisbury score some extra points. Darien Rankin is a favorite in the high jump and
long jump but it’s the long jump that might be the most excciting event to watch now that Morris isn’t running. Rankin will have his hands full with North’s Johnny Oglesby and Sam Starks. East has been strong all season in the throws, especially Sam Sherman, who is coming off an impressive 55-9 throw in the shot last week. Even without Barger, West’s boys could decide the outcome with their speed, especially in the relays. Salisbury and North Rowan should put on quite a battle for the the top spot in the girls competition, although Carson has won meets and should make some noise. • NOTES: The field events at East begin at 4 p.m. with the running events are scheduled jon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST to begin at 5. ... The forecast Salisbury baseball player Philip Tonseth, right, will get to is for 67 degrees and partlyrun today because of Tuesday’s rain. cloudy.
When Tonseth walked two in the first inning, and East’s slugging catcher Davin Lawson promptly hit one out of sight, the Golden Eagles (8-7, 3-2) led 3-0 and Maddox was seriously worried. “Honestly, the way Lequire pitched us against last year and down three, I was afraid it might be over,” he said. But Salisbury got two in the bottom of the first with aid from a brisk wind. With two out and two on, Nolan Meyerhoeffer stroked a routine fly to center, but the breeze carried the ball out of diving outfielder Taylor Warren’s reach. That hit reduced the deficit to 3-2 and boosted Salisbury’s confidence. “ W e showed that we had some fire and the will to play,” said center fielder Brian Bauk, who had three hits. “Especially after BAUK we got down 3-0 so quickly.” Tonseth put a goose egg on the board in the ED second — the first of four straight zeroes he put up — and Salisbury took control with a sixrun second against Lequire (42). Ian Swaim’s triple to right field— soaring into a gusting wind — got it all started. “It was like there was a target painted for their hitters out there in right field,” Tricarico said. “They hit ball after ball out there.” A walk, an error and singles by Bauk and Knox followed. Now the Hornets led 43, and Tonseth was at the plate. His no-doubt-about-it slam made it 8-3 in a hurry. “I was just looking to drive something and got a very good pitch to hit,” Tonseth said. “I

was a little shocked.” In his last four games, Tonseth is 8-for-16 with 15 RBIs, and that amazing production has transformed the Hornets from a struggling offensive team into a dangerous one. “Once we slid Philip into the No. 3 hole, it’s like our whole batting order has fallen into place,” Maddox said. Salisbury nearly won by the 10-run rule — it was 12-3 after five — but the Golden Eagles made a little noise when a tiring Tonseth had to go back out for the sixth. Chance Bowden relieved and nailed down the last five outs. The final at-bat was an adventure. The plate umpire tore a calf muscle hustling up the line to observe a flyball that drifted foul. After a delay, Bowden threw one pitch for a game-ending strikeout.

BONDS TRIAL SAN FRANCISCO — Jurors in the Barry Bonds case remained mostly out of sight on day 3 of their deliberations. They never entered Judge Susan Illston's courtroom on the 19th floor of the Phillip Burton Federal Building, spending about six hours behind closed doors Tuesday without reaching a verdict. Except for a couple of quick breaks and a timeout for lunch, that was it. No questions for the judge. No readbacks of testimony. And no clues as to which way, if any, the eight women and four men who will decide the home-run king's fate are leaning. With each passing hour Wednesday, speculation mounted as to whether the jury even will be able to reach a verdict on the four charges: three counts of making false statements to a grand jury in 2003 and one count of obstruction of justice.

CHARLOTTE— Chris Paul remembers every detail of the first time he met Michael Jordan. Now referring to him as his mentor, could Paul decide to return home next year and make Jordan his boss? Paul won’t rule it out. “It would definitely be something to think about,” the New Orleans guard said Tuesday when asked about the potential to sign with the Jordan-owned Charlotte Bobcats in 2012. “But right now it’s all about trying to win a championship here with the Hornets.” In a phone interview with The Associated Press to promote the Jordan Brand Classic high school basketball All-Star game on Saturday in Charlotte, Paul alternated praise for Jordan while stressing that his immediate concern is the Hornets’ impending first-round playoff series. “I’m one of those people who tries to stay in the moment,” the four-time All-Star point guard said. But Paul, who has a contract with Jordan’s Nike footwear and apparel division, didn’t mind reminiscing about a meeting Jordan for the first time when the West Forsyth grad played in the Jordan Brand Classic in 2003. “We were getting ready to take the team picture,” Paul said. “I was sitting in one seat and (current Los Angeles Lakers guard) Shannon Brown was sitting in another seat and the middle seat was open. We obviously knew MJ was going to walk in and sit there. When he walked in, man, he just took over the room. And he actually walked up and knew my name. So that’s something I’ll never forget. “To have a personal relationship with him now and for him to be a mentor of mine, it’s something when you’re growing up as a kid in

North Carolina you would never expect.” But would that be enough to give Jordan’s struggling Bobcats a leg up if the explosive scorer decides to leave New Orleans? It was that kind of sway Charlotte fans were hoping the six-time NBA champion would have when he bought the team last year. “I think guys do and will want to play for MJ,” Paul said. “Who better to learn from?” But so far Jordan has overseen mostly cost-cutting, including a February deal that sent the franchise’s only All-Star, Gerald Wallace, to Portland for two first-round draft picks. The Bobcats then fell out of playoff contention. Jordan has said the Wallace deal was meant to create financial flexibility so they can beef up the roster in the next few seasons. “Now that he has a team, he’s like a kid in a candy store,” Paul said of Jordan. “He’s so happy because he’s one of those guys that no matter what, he can’t get away from the game.” Getting Paul would be Jordan’s first big coup and wold help erase a decision made by the Bobcats in 2005 before Jordan’s arrival. Charlotte turned down a trade offer to move up from the No. 5 spot in the draft. Paul then went to the Hornets at No. 4. “I thought about it then when I got drafted,” Paul said of the potential of playing pro ball in his home state.

Just in case he still needed to, Rose put on a show for the MVP voters watching the nationally televised game, shooting 10 of 19 and throwing down a few crowd-pleasing dunks as the Bulls ran away from the Knicks after losing the first two meetings. Carmelo Anthony scored 21 points for the Knicks who had their seven-game winning streak snapped. Locked into the No. 6 seed and a first-round matchup with Boston, New York rested Amare Stoudemire for the third straight game, though his sprained left ankle was well enough to play. Stoudemire might sit again today when the Knicks close the regular season at Boston in a playoff preview.
NBA’s faltering finalists Associated Press
NEW YORK — Once a good possibility, an NBA finals rematch sure seems in jeopardy now. In the final days of the regular season, the Los Angeles Lakers have been beaten often. The Boston Celtics have been beaten badly. Yes, both have been through this before. The Lakers limped into the postseason last year, the Celtics hardly looked like a contender for the final twothirds of the season, yet they ended up meeting for the title for the 12th time. Things feel different now. The Lakers may very well just be going through the motions, but the Celtics might be going through a crisis. “They’ve lost some bad games,” Hall of Famer and
TNT analyst Charles Barkley said in a phone interview. “Everything starts over 0-0 (in the playoffs), but they’ve been psychologically wounded since they traded Kendrick Perkins.” Boston fell into third place in the Eastern Conference when it was pounded 100-77 at Miami on Sunday, then basically conceded the race for the No. 2 seed when it rested all four of its AllStars in a 95-94 overtime loss at Washington on Monday. That locked the Celtics into a first-round matchup with the New York Knicks, who have surged into the No. 6 seed. TNT’s Steve Kerr once saw that as simply the first stop in Boston’s return to the finals, but now considers it the most interesting first-round pairing in either conference.
The NFL notebook ... CHARLOTTE — New Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera will make his debut against the New York Giants — based on the large assumption the current labor mess is resolved and there's a normal preseason. The Panthers released their four-game exhibition schedule on Tuesday. If the lockout is over, the Panthers will open against the Giants at home the weekend of Aug. 12-14. Exact dates will be released later. The Panthers will then visit Miami and Cincinnati the next weeks before the preseason finale against Pittsburgh at Bank of America Stadium, likely on Sept. 1. Rivera was hired earlier this year to replace John Fox after Carolina went an NFL-worst 2-14. LABOR UPDATE MINNEAPOLIS — With the lockout at one month and counting, attorneys for NFL players sat down Tuesday with the federal magistrate who will oversee court-ordered mediation with the league later this week. Attorneys and Hall of Fame defensive end Carl Eller met with U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan for about four hours. Boylan "was very open" and "it was a very constructive session," said Michael Hausfeld, the lead attorney representing Eller. Boylan has a reputation as a problem-solver, though what he can accomplish after more than two weeks of mediated talks fell short last month in Washington remains to be seen. LETTER NEW YORK — The NFL forwarded a letter from the NCAA to players invited to this month’s draft that
warns underclassmen about potential rules violations for attending draft parties. The letter from NCAA director of player security services Dena Garner emphasized that players not eligible for this year’s draft can’t receive benefits or services such as travel, lodging, meals or entertainment if they attend such parties. Each college athlete must pay for all of those things or he could violate NCAA rules. NFL DRAFT NEW YORK (AP) — Heisman Trophy winners Cam Newton and Mark Ingram are among 20 college football players the NFL Players Association says plan to participate in its events on the same three days as the NFL draft. The “NFLPA Rookie Debut” from April 28-30 is slated to involve more than 20 current or former NFL players. BRADSHAW CHOUDRANT, La. — Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw says he’s feeling the effects of numerous concussions sustained during his NFL career. The 62-year-old Shreveport native said he has been having short-term memory loss as well as the loss of hand-eye coordination. He also said he is undergoing rehabilitation for those ailments. MORE MANNINGS INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning has a new job, but it doesn't involve throwing footballs — at least not yet. Manning and wife Ashley are the parents of twins. The births came 10 days after Manning became an uncle. New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning and wife Abby became parents of a daughter on March 21.

Allergic reaction causes hives Dear Dr. Gott: I enjoy your column very much. I went to a physician for hives. He did a host of blood work and only found low vitamin D levels. He said there is an ingredient called carrageenan that causes allergic reactions and inflammation in the body. He told me to go home and check everything I use to see if it’s in there. Sure enough, the creamer that I have every day had it in there. I thought that this couldn’t possibly be the answer; it was too simple. I stopped the DR. PETER using creamer anyGOTT way, and my hives disappeared. Just to be sure, I used the creamer again and broke out with hives within 30 minutes. The amazing doctor who suggested this to me during my one visit then “ran off” to Arizona to practice integrative medicine. I only knew him as Dr. P, but I will always be grateful to him. Please share this with your readers so that maybe it can help some of them, too. Dear Reader: Carrageenan is a seaweed extract used in processed foods.

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), it is known to cause anaphylax-
is in sensitive individuals during barium enema (of which carrageenan is a component). It is also thought that it could account for some of the problems babies experience using milk products or certain baby formulas. To the best of my knowledge, an allergy to carrageenan is treated as a food allergy, meaning avoidance of the product is the best option. This involves thorough label reading and diligence. Dear Dr. Gott: Last June, you published a column about cold sores, and I thought you might be interested in my experience. I grew up having cold sores occasionally, more often in my childbearing years (I assume because of stress). I began taking garlic pills for another reason and two years later when I discontinued them, I started getting cold sores again. I now take a garlic pill three times a week, daily if I’m stressed, and seldom have the sores. If I feel one coming on, I take garlic morning, noon and night, and the sore never fully develops. I thought this might be of interest to you and your readers. Dear Reader: I had not heard of garlic pills being beneficial in preventing cold sores prior to your letter. To the best of my knowledge, garlic pills are most commonly used in an attempt to lower cholesterol and blood pressure. I have even had readers tell me that they are beneficial in preventing mosquitoes from biting. Other readers have recommended taking L-lysine daily.
Rub the oil from one gel cap onto the affected area of the lip daily until the ulcer is healed. Yet another option is to coat the lesion with a layer of crystallized or powdered alum, which can be purchased at your local grocery store. Once the lesion is healed via either or other methods, future outbreaks can be prevented by the ingestion of one L-lysine gel cap each day. Thank you for pointing out yet another use for garlic.

A variation on yesterday’s deal BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
Professor Robert H. Goddard, the father of the liquidfueled rocket, said, “It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.” Yesterday, we looked at a four-spade contract after East opened three diamonds. Today, we have another one that looks similar but is not. The reality is that South needs to take 10 tricks. Well, how should South plan the play after ruffing West’s diamond lead? East began with a textbook pre-emptive opening. South wanted to take a stronger action than a simple jump to four spades, but to double, then to bid four spades, ought to show at least
two places to play (a second suit with four or more cards in it). West let the adverse vulnerability dissuade him from sacrificing, though five diamonds doubled would have cost only 200 points. Against the original declarer, West was right to pass over four spades. South ruffed the diamond lead, drew trumps, cashed the heart ace, and ran the heart jack. But East won with his queen and shifted to the club jack. Declarer lost one heart and three clubs. After ruffing the first diamond, South should lead a spade to the dummy, ruff a diamond, return to dummy with another spade, and ruff the diamond jack. Then South leads a club. The defenders would take three tricks in the suit, but what would they do next? If they lead a heart, it finds
Columbia lawsuit over mechanical bull is dismissed by judge COLUMBIA, Tenn. (AP) — A Maury County judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a Florida woman claiming she was injured while riding a mechanical bull. According to The Daily Herald, an order was filed April 1 by Judge Stella Hargrove throwing out the lawsuit against Maury County government and Thrill Zone LLC. Erin Glover of Jacksonville, Fla., claimed she suffered a broken arm when she was thrown from the mechanical bull in 2009 at the Maury County Fair. She had claimed Thrill Zone failed to provide
the proper safety equipment for the ride. A trial had been scheduled for Wednesday

MANNY FROM 1B so many immigrants have: He didn’t speak English very well, he struggled in school. Raised in a home with three older sisters and an emotionally absent father, he was also the young prince, the center of his family’s world. “He would throw himself on the ground and just have a fit,” said one of his older sisters in the 2009 book “Becoming Manny,” describing Manny’s temper tantrums if he didn’t get what he wanted. But from the beginning he could hit a baseball. That always was Manny’s great gift, and because of it people always made allowances for him. Manny being Manny? Wasn’t that the great rationale? Or simply a copout? So what if he was the ultimate one-dimensional ball player. So what if he often treated defense as if the outfield was little more than just a place to stand in the sunshine. So what if he often moved through his career as if he was some spoiled kid at the prep school picnic. So what if managers and teammates were forever enabling him. It was just Manny being Manny, the phrase said by Cleveland manager Mike Hargrove in 1995 to explain Manny’s goofiness. Yet fans loved him, his teammates liked him, and if he avoided the media like he did a high hard one coming at his head, so what? Manny being Manny, right? It was a great run with the Red Sox, the two World Series titles testimony to that. On a team full of selfdescribed “idiots,” Manny fit right in. He seldom talked to the media, but everyone in the media knew that, so it wasn’t a big deal. He would sit in his corner of the Red Sox clubhouse, with his back to everyone, and that was just the way it was. So for the longest time he was treated in Boston like

the eccentric relative who comes for holiday dinner. And if every once in a while he would so something truly goofy? You guessed it — just Manny being Manny. Until it got a little more complicated. In retrospect, the incident that changed everything for Ramirez in Boston was in July, 2008 when he pushed Jack McCormick, the 64-year-old Red Sox traveling secretary, to the ground in a dispute over tickets. Shortly after that he began failing to run hard on ground balls, and on July 31 of that year he was traded to the Dodgers. Never again would it be the same for Manny Ramirez. Last summer, he was waived by the Dodgers in August, then picked by the White Sox. In January, he was given a one-year deal by Tampa Bay, but it was for only $2 million, chump change in comparison to what Manny used to make. Even then, you knew that the sand was falling through the hour glass on Ramirez’s career. Now this. It’s not the first time Manny and performance-enhancing drugs have been in the same sentence. In 2009, while with the Dodgers, he was suspended for 50 games for violating baseball’s drug policy. So how much does this taint his legacy? It will be left to baseball historians to figure that out, to one day assess this era that’s so flawed, too many of the game’s greats tarnished. For once upon a time, Manny undoubtedly was headed for Cooperstown and baseball immortality. Now it’s all very complicated. Friday’s end told us that. Not in any elaborate farewell ceremony. Not to cheers and applause. Not to any public appreciation. But in a news release that said he had retired from the game, and that he had tested positive for a performanceenhancing drug. Bang the drum slowly.
FROM 1B fection is tinged with a little bit of hate. The rewards are great, but sacrifices are necessary to wrestle at a high level. He could easily carry 150 pounds, but he hovered all year between 132 and 135. “I love it, but wrestling is work, really hard work,” he said. “This has to be the hardest sport — working out, cutting weight, not eating.” Shaffer’s sweat paid off as a freshman. Competing at 112, he reached the regional level and was an ounce of experience away from qualifying for the state event. An appendectomy derailed his sophomore year, but he placed third in the regional as a 125-pound junior and made his state-tournament debut. He finished a respectable eighth. “The thing I learned was no one sucks at state,” Shaffer said. “No one.” Things fell into place this season. Shaffer won the Ashbrook Invitational. Then he won the Rowan County Tournament for the first time. He suffered a midseason concussion, but it didn’t keep him off the mat long. Eventually, he won his second NPC crown, a perfect springboard into postseason competition. A solid second-place finish in the regional was Shaffer’s ticket back to the state tournament in Greensboro. He entered that star-studded event ranked eighth in 3A. No one sucks at state, and he found himself grappling for survival in his first match on opening day against fifthranked Chris Rubinosky of Union Pines. It lasted three overtimes before Shaffer prevailed 7-5. Shaffer dropped his next match — a 10-8 scrap with third-ranked Ian Martin of St. Stephens. That ended his goldmedal dream and put him on a long road of consolations, hoping for bronze. “Ian’s an awesome wrestler, but I was so mad at myself,” Shaffer said. “My dad would’ve been mad at me because I kind of gave up those last 10 seconds.” Shaffer rebounded from despair to post a 3-0 victory against Concord’s Michael McGinnis. Next came the signature match of his career. He’ll never forget Mat No. 7. It was the fourth of his six state matches. His opponent: Western Harnett’s Michael Zak. “I didn’t know him, just knew he was from a long way off, somewhere out east,” Shaffer. “I do know he was a heck of a wrestler.” Zak’s reversal and a stall call had Shaffer behind 3-0 when there was a for-

tiger Woods tees off for his chinese spectators.
TIGER FROM 1B ty in China. Hundreds of fans lined the fairway at the 18th hole of the course as Woods wrapped up his four-hole demonstration, cheering loudly when he made a good shot. Woods wore a wireless microphone so spectators could listen in as he plotted his strategy for each shot. “Their futures are very bright,” Woods said. “It will be fun to watch their careers develop over the years.” MASTERS RATINGS The final round of the Masters drew its second-highest preliminary television rating in 10 years. The finish Sunday didn't match last year's rating, when Woods returned from a five-month layoff after revelations of infidelity and finished fourth. But with Woods surging into contention amid a crowded leaderboard, the coverage drew the best rating other than 2010 for the past decade. U.S. OPEN ODDS A breathtaking Masters was not even a day old when bookies began compiling odds for the next major. One website, www.Bodog.com, has Tiger Woods listed as a 6-to-1 favorite for the U.S. Open, which is still 10 weeks away at Congressional. Woods tied for 19th in the 1997 U.S. Open at Congressional, although he won the AT&T National there two years ago. Phil Mickelson is the second choice at 10-to-1. Lee Westwood and Rory McIlroy were listed at 16-to-1, followed by world No. 1 Martin Kaymer and Luke Donald at 20-to-1.

tunate clock stoppage for blood with 16 seconds left. Shaffer fought back tears as he trudged over to apologize to his coaches. He’d let them down, and this figured to be their final conversation. “You’re going to be mad at me if I lose, aren’t you?” Shaffer blurted. Justus’ calm response was that he wasn’t upset — and Shaffer wasn’t going to lose. He sent him back to the mat with a plan and a belief that he could execute it. Shaffer was in the bottom position. The whistle blew. Always dangerous, Shaffer escaped with 10 seconds left. Now it was 3-1. “Then I rushed right him,” Shaffer explained. “I missed a throw, but then I caught him, and he was down.” Two points for a takedown, swiftly followed by two more points for forcing Zak onto his back. Shaffer was a miraculous 5-3 winner and still moving forward. It was exhilarating, but it didn’t get any easier. Shaffer’s next foe was Chapel Hill’s Peter Dreher. Dreher was ranked second in 3A and would finish at 45-10. “I saw his match with the state champ (Hibriten’s Scott Hardiman), and he looked awesome,” Shaffer said. “But I beat him pretty good. I had a really good match.” The final was 5-2. Now Shaffer was wrestling for third place in his final match for East and maybe ever. In the everything-happensfor-a reason category, it was a rematch against Martin, who edged him in the second round. “It was just a dramatic match, off and on, back and forth,” Shaffer said. “This time I didn’t let up, not for one second.” A good thing. He won 9-8. The NCHSAA record book will always claim Shaffer finished third in 3A at 135 in 2011, but Justus regards him as a champion’s champion. “A special young’un,” Justus said. “He’ll be missed extremely by our program.” Shaffer isn’t sure he’ll return to the mat. He enjoys welding and working on motors, but his dream is to earn a business degree. “I’m not the dumbest or the smartest,” he said. “Coach says there are schools where I can go wrestle, but I probably need to concentrate on schoolwork to be successful in college.” As far as wrestling success, the Meyer Award and that magnificent run in the state tournament says it all. “Everyone there was taller than me and bigger than me and stronger than me, but I was third,” Shaffer said. “That feeling I had standing on the podium is something I’ll remember the rest of my life.”

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER Low pressure will continue to move up the Northeastern coast on Wednesday bringing more rain to the Mid-Atlantic, and New England. The New England coast will bear the brunt of the precipitation, with exceptionally heavy rains north of Cape Cod. In addition, strong onshore winds will cause high tides. Heavy rains and high tides could result in coastal flooding that pushes further inland than normal along the back bays and coastal rivers. In addition to the heavy rainfall expected across the Northeast, temperatures will be cooler than normal. The Northwest will also see heavy precipitation along the coastline as a Pacific storm moves ashore. By afternoon and late evening, wet weather will break over the Cascades through the Great Basin and into the Northern Rockies. Some heavy wet snow is anticipated in the higher elevations with rain expected in the valleys and lowlands. Light rain is possible throughout the Northern Plains, but for most of the nation\'s mid-section, placid warm spring weather is anticipated.

Dodgers put Furcal on DL Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — The Los Angeles Dodgers are down a key member of their infield yet again. Shortstop and leadoff hitter Rafael Furcal was placed on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday after he broke his left thumb while sliding headfirst into third base on a steal during a 6-1 win over the San Francisco Giants on Monday night. He is expected to miss 4 to 6 weeks and will need a rehab assignment. Furcal, so emotional after the injury he mentioned the word retirement, returned to Los Angeles to be examined by a hand specialist and it was determined he doesn’t need surgery on his non-throwing hand. Manager Don Mattingly said Furcal would wear a splint for three weeks to limit mobility as he heals but soon could resume doing some baseball activities. “There are no real positives with Raffy getting hurt but with this he will be able to do some baseball-related things,” Mattingly said. “It’s not a shot you want to take, really. It’s one of those things you have to deal with and you’d rather it happen now than late. I talked to him today. He’s pretty down.”
Red Sox, not Rays, are AL’s worst Associated Press
BOSTON — David Price outpitched Jon Lester and the Tampa Bay Rays broke a tie with Boston for the worst record in the American League with a 3-2 victory over the Red Sox on Tuesday night. The Rays and Red Sox began the game even at 2-8. Price (1-2) allowed five hits in 72⁄3 innings. He left with runners at first and second, and reliever Joel Peralta ended the eighth by getting Jed Lowrie to fly out. Kyle Farnsworth worked a perfect ninth for his second save. Lester (0-1) pitched well for his second straight outing. Darnell McDonald homered for Boston in third. Tampa Bay scored three times in the fifth. Lowrie hit an RBI double in the sixth. Tigers 5, Rangers 0 DETROIT — Miguel Cabrera hit a basesloaded single in the ninth inning to left Detroit past Texas. Texas slugger Josh Hamilton broke his upper right arm sliding headfirst into the plate in the first inning. He's expected to miss six to eight weeks. After Texas tied it a 4 in the eighth with a run off reliever Joaquin Benoit, Jose Valverde (1-0) worked a scoreless ninth and the Tigers broke through against Darren O'Day (0-1). Brandon Inge led off with a single and moved to second on Alex Avila's sacrifice bunt. After a walk, a strikeout and another walk, Cabrera ended the game with the single through the left side of the infield. The Rangers were trying to start 10-1 for just the second time in franchise history. Twins 4, Royals 3, 10 innings MINNEAPOLIS — Danny Valencia hit a bases-loaded single with one out in the 10th inning to give Minnesota a victory over Kansas City.

Boston’s J.d. drew agonizes after he is called out on strikes on tuesday. While the Twins' bullpen pitched four perfect innings, including the 10th by Dusty Hughes (1-0), reliever Robinson Tejeda (0-1) failed the Royals. After Tejeda gave up a one-out single to Delmon Young and walked Michael Cuddyer, Jason Kubel then drove a pitch to right-center. Jeff Francoeur nearly made a nifty running catch at the wall, but dropped it to load the bases for Valencia. Royals starter Jeff Francis was stuck with his third straight no-decision. Yankees-Orioles ppd. NEW YORK — Phil Hughes will have to wait an extra day to see if he can find his fastball.
Off to a horrendous start this season, Hughes had his next outing pushed back from today to Thursday when the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles were rained out Tuesday night. White Sox 6, Athletics 5, 10 innings CHICAGO — Alexei Ramirez hit his second homer of the game with two outs in the 10th inning to lift the Chicago White Sox to a 6-5 win over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night. Ramirez also hit a three-run shot in the second inning and scored a run after drawing a walk in the sixth. Chicago reliever Chris Sale (2-0) picked up the win with two shutout innings.
Braves’ Hanson gets plenty of help in win time, that wasn't a problem. Heyward homered in the fourth, McCann in the fifth. There just weren't many people there to see it. The announced crowd of 13,856 was the smallest in Turner Field history. On a cool, breezy night, Hanson used his changeup often and effectively, mixed in with a slider and curve. "It was one of those days when everything worked," the big right-hander said. Not for Chris Volstad (0-1), who was chased in the fifth, having allowed eight hits and all five runs. And, unlike Hanson, he didn't have any runs to work with. The Marlins went 0 for 9 with runners in scoring position and hit into a pair of double plays. "We've been struggling pretty much all season with runners in scoring position and today wasn't any different," manager Edwin Rodriguez said. "Hanson was making his pitch-
Associated Press
ATLANTA — The Braves did it all. Pitched well. Went deep. Manufactured runs. Played some brilliant defense. Tommy Hanson pitched four-hit ball over seven innings for his first win, Jason Heyward and Brian McCann homered, and Chipper Jones drove in two runs to lead Atlanta Braves past the Florida Marlins 5-0 Tuesday night. Hanson (1-2) finally got a few runs to work with and the Braves turned in several nifty defensive plays, two of them diving stops by shortstop Alex Gonzalez. "We did a little bit of everything," Jones said. "Tonight was as perfect a nine-inning game as we've played yet. It's a good formula. Hopefully we'll see a lot more of it." The Braves has struggled offensively over their first 10 games, scoring three runs or fewer seven times — including both of Hanson's starts. This
es with runners in scoring position." Nationals 7, Phillies 4 WASHINGTON — Jayson Werth homered and doubled to lead the Washington Nationals to a 7-4 victory in his first appearance against Philadelphia since leaving the Phillies as a free agent. Werth doubled leading off the fourth inning and scored, starting a three-run inning that gave the Nationals the lead for good. His solo home run in the fifth gave Washington a 5-1 lead. Werth signed a $126 million, seven-year contract with the Nationals in offseason. Phillies fans made up a large percentage of the sparse crowd at Nationals Park, and they booed him each time he came to bat — or fielded a fly ball in right field. Livan Hernandez (1-1) allowed one run on seven hits, struck out six and didn't walk a batter in 62⁄3 innings. Joe Blanton (0-1) worked six innings, giving up five runs on seven hits.
In two starts this season, Blanton has allowed 12 runs in 10 13 innings for a 10.45 ERA. Astros 11, Cubs 2 HOUSTON — Brett Myers kept up his dominance against Chicago, and Angel Sanchez tied a career high with four hits to help Houston rout the Cubs. Myers (1-0) limited Chicago to eight hits and one run in seven innings to improve to 11-3 against the Cubs. Houston scored three runs off James Russell (1-1) in the first inning, two more in the second and built a 7-0 lead after Sanchez singled in two runs in the fourth. Russell was making his first career start after 59 relief appearances as a replacement for the injured Andrew Cashner. Russell allowed seven hits and five runs in 12⁄3 innings. Tyler Colvin homered for Chicago. Pirates-Milwaukee ppd. Brewers-Mets ppd. Rain prevented the teams from getting their games in.
