This hand crank machine is one of several for sale at Jack’s Grocery on Bringle Ferry Road for smokers who opt for making their own. Customers looking for a cheaper alternative are using the machines and tobacco to make their own cigarettes.

Roll your own More try making their own cigarettes as taxes cause hefty price hikes ALISBURY — With the items he carried to the counter — the bag of pipe tobacco and boxes of cigarette tubes — Harold Mills paid about $30. Mills figured he could make two cartons of cigarettes from his supplies. Using his cigarette-producing machine at home, which ejects cigarettes one by one, “I can make a carton in less than an hour-and-ahalf,” he said. Shane Allman, who helps his

mother run the Tobacco Discount store on South Main Street, did some quick math for Mills. Two cartons of Winston cigarettes would run Mills about $80 a week. Over a year, he would be spending $4,160 on the name brand. By making his own cigarettes, Mills is spending $2,600 a year. He’s saving roughly $1,560 annually, Allman said. Tobacco Discount and stores across Rowan County are becoming

part of a quiet revolution among smokers who are tired of constantly being the target of higher prices, often fueled by increased taxes. More and more smokers are making their own. “We used to be a carton store,” Allman said. “Now we’re a rollyour-own store.” The federal cigarette tax is $1.01

ALISBURY — If Mother Earth visited Salisbury, she would stay at Alta. With an eye on the resurgence in the popularity of environmentalism, Heather St. Aubin-Stout and Gray Stout have turned Gray’s former architecture office into an upscale, eco-friendly rental. The Stouts created Alta, which means “high,” for tourists and travelers who want a unique place to stay for a weekend or a month.

SALISBURY — The draft budget unveiled Tuesday in the N.C. House of Representatives proposes a consolidation of the Rowan and Cabarrus county district attorney offices, with one district attorney in charge of prosecuting both counties. The two counties were a single prosecutorial district from Jan. 1, 1991, until Dec. 31, 1994, while former district attorney Bill Kenerly, supervised both counties. It divided Jan. 1, 1995, and Kenerly remained district attorney until he retired last year. And in the 1970s, when Kenerly was an assistant district attorney, Rowan County was part of a four-county district — Montgomery, Cabarrus, Randolph and Rowan counties. If the provision is approved, former Cabarrus Assistant District Attorney Brandy Cook would serve only one term before having to decide whether to run against her former boss, Cabarrus District Attorney Roxanne Vaneekhoven.

Deep cuts would come to education, but not teaching jobs RALEIGH — North Carolina House budget proposals released Tuesday would cut thousands of school support and administrative posts while largely sparing teachers. As part of an effort to close an expected $2 billion-plus shortfall, House budget-writers proposed cutting public schools by 9 percent from levels needed to continue services at current levels. Community colleges would see tuition increases for students and a 10 percent cut in funding. The University of North Carolina system’s funding would be cut 16 percent. Legislators representing Rowan County as part of the new Republican majority say the education cuts aren’t as severe as they could have been. “The cuts look better than what we’ve heard and what we thought,” said N.C. Rep. Fred Steen. “We’re still trying to prioritize education as best we can, and we’ve been trying to keep the funding level as high as we could.” In total, cuts to education in the House draft are nearly double what Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue had proposed in her budget. The state would appropriate $10.66 billion (a 10.5 percent

cut), compared to $11.25 billion proposed by the governor and $11.91 billion requested to maintain services. Neither Steen nor Rep. Harry Warren, Rowan’s other state House member, sit on the subcommittee that drafted the education budget. Steen is a member of the apcommittee propriations and its transportation subcommittee. Both said provisions have been removed from Perdue’s budget that would have shifted $350 million in education expenses, including school bus replacement costs and workers’ compensation claims, to districts and counties. The House budget reduces funding for the Smart Start preschool education and health initiative by 20 percent — four times as much as Perdue’s recommendation of 5 percent. Dr. Olson Huff, board chair of the North Carolina Partnership for Children, said in a press release that it is “poor economic policy” to cut funding for early childhood education far more than other levels. “This proposal not only short-changes the youngest children and their families, it also flattens our future prospects as a state,” Huff said. “Research shows that Smart Start not only makes children better learners throughout schools, it helps sustain thousands of jobs.” The House budget also

would push the state’s public schools closer to the bottom of the nation in per pupil funding. “I am concerned for local superintendents who will have to find ways to meet students’ educational needs with fewer school-based staff,” Harrison said. Officials with the RowanSalisbury School System will meet soon to talk about how the House draft budget would affect local schools, said Public Information Officer Rita Foil. Tuition for community college students would rise over current rates by $10 per hour in the first year and $12.50 per hour in the second. The continuing education fee would stay flat in the first year but increase by $5 in the second. Carol Spalding, president of Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, said the college has been planning for the state funding cuts, but they will be “onerous to implement.” “We are concerned about support for the community colleges that are serving more students than ever,” Spalding

moves the More at Four program to the Division of Childhood Development under the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services. Warren said this scenario is better than others legislators had considered, including combining the two programs or even eliminating one or both of them. “I’m very pleased at this point that they’re two independent programs, they’re there and they’re funded,” Warren said. The proposals are part of a series of ideas introduced to cut spending throughout state government as lawmakers work to close a budget gap of more than $2 billion for the year beginning in July. Education makes up nearly 60 percent of the state budget. The state’s local school boards this year had to share a $305 million cut in funding, with each district deciding where to find savings. Local school districts would have to find another $148 million in cuts over the next two years with cuts of classroom teachers off limits. “This is an attempt... to fund the classroom and save as many teacher jobs as we can,” Warren said. “The teacher allotment was covered.” He said he regrets that there had to be any cuts to education in the budget, but the state needs a long-term solution to deal with recurring deficits. Warren added that the House budget is just a draft and will most likely be changed. In a press release, State Board of Education Chairman Bill Harrison said this budget

Spencer residents speak out against pawn shops BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

SPENCER — In 20 years, Debbie Barnhardt Basinger’s jewelry shop in downtown Spencer has been robbed one time. She blames the pawn shop that was down the street. “They robbed me during the day and took the jewelry to the pawn shop a block away,” Basinger said. The pawn shop has since closed and Spencer now bans the businesses, although one still is in the town limits. When the town board this week considered allowing pawn shops in the three-block Central Business

District, Basinger and many other residents and business owners spoke against the idea. “It would be the death of us,” said Cara Reische, co-founder of the Green Goat Gallery. Pawn shops don’t fit with the downtown, could increase crime and have image problems, they said. “We should have a standard better than that in downtown Spencer,” said Bob Oswald of the town’s Historic Preservation Commission. Aldermen disliked the idea of pawn shops downtown but said they might work in other areas of Spencer. Planning Board recommended pawn shops also be allowed in districts zoned Highway Business.

Aldermen sent the issue back to planners for further study and asked members to research whether pawn shops correlate to an increase in the crime rate. Police Chief Michael James said he’s never studied the issue but thought an uptick in crime could accompany a pawn shop because people steal items to pawn them. Alderman Jeff Morris defended pawn shops as one of the most heavily regulated businesses in the state. Pawn shop owners must meet strict requirements regarding what they can accept and check a computer software system maintained by law enforcement for stolen goods, he said.

Sellers must present a valid ID, and security cameras are in place, he said. Downtown should offer businesses that will bring visitors at the N.C. Transportation Museum across the street to downtown Spencer, said Nick Bishop, manager of Stoudemire Furniture. “We’ve only got three blocks,” he said. “It’s a very small area, and we have to be very careful what we do allow in that section of town because of the effect it’s going to have...on tourists.” Mike Deal, who was shot on his front porch in 2006 after he returned from walking his dog, said he’s afraid a pawn shop would attract the

same kind of “punks” who attacked him. Pawn shops are legitimate businesses but shady, Melissa Blount said. “Any space we might take up with a pawn shop would be one less coffee shop ... or some other restaurant,” she said. Anne Waters said her students at the Blue Ewe Yoga Studio told her they would be fearful coming to class if there was a pawn shop downtown. “They thought it was a horrible idea,” she said.

CIGARETTES FROM 1A a pack. The average state excise tax on cigarettes is $1.45 a pack. North Carolina has a state tax of 45 cents per pack, though a bill introduced in the 2011 General Assembly proposes a $1-per-pack increase to the national average. Many smokers have had enough. While it’s cheaper in North Carolina (a tobacco state), a pack of cigarettes on average in the United States now costs $5.51. The make-your-own smoker can produce his cigarettes for an average of $1 a pack. Jack Phillips, who owns Jack’s Grocery on Bringle Ferry Road, has recently promoted “roll your own” tobacco products on his sign out front. He said it’s a growing business for his store, and a corner behind the counter is devoted to bags of pipe tobacco, cigarette tubes and cigarettemaking machines. “We got in late in the ball game,” Phillips said, remembering how customers kept asking for the cheaperpriced pipe tobacco to make their own cigarettes. “There’s a big, big market for it. It’s immense. I could not believe it.” Jack’s sells 6- to 16-ounce bags of pipe and cigarette tobacco with brand names such as OHM, 4 Aces, Gambler, Bull Durham and Dark

The storms that blew through Rowan County last week did not cause enough damage for residents to qualify for low-interest loans or individual assistance grants, state officials said Wednesday. To qualify, an area must have had at least 25 homes and/or businesses with at least 40 percent loss to the structure, with major damage or complete destruction, the state’s emergency management team said. Rowan County’s damage assessment team took 36 reports of damages across Rowan after the April 5 storm.

On April 7, state officials visited Rowan County to look at reports and see a few sites. Rowan County Emergency Management Division Coordinator Frank Thomason said he was waiting for state emergency management officials to contact him with the “official notification,” after contacting them several times over the past week concerning Rowan County’s state assessment. The storms crippled Rowan County, leaving thousands without power and some in the dark until April 7, closed Rowan-Salisbury Schools April 5 due to power outages, and caused some to lose their homes and businesses.

What online readers say about ... ... Museum budget goes off the rails

AGENCY MOVING THEM ONLINE

Some need SS mailings hese days, it might seem absurd to criticize a government agency for cutting costs. But the Social Security Administration is catching flak for its decision to stop mailing out annual notices detailing how much workers have paid into the system and how much they’re scheduled to collect at retirement. Most of the information will still be available. You’ll just have to use a computer and Internet connection to find it at www.socialsecurity.gov. Federal officials say mailing out 150 million statements costs about $70 million a year. In addition to the cost-cutting arguments, officials also point out the world is swiftly moving toward electronic record-keeping and transactions. Remember how bank lines used to back up around the first of the month, when Social Security checks were mailed out? Today, 88 percent of recipients get their payments deposited directly into their accounts. Still, suspending the mailed statements has drawbacks. For those who lack Internet access, many of them older citizens or lower-wage workers, it will be more difficult to track important information about retirement benefits. The yearly statement provides a jolt of reality about benefit expectations and the need to save for retirement. It also shows a worker’s history of taxable earnings, which allows people to check for mistakes. That wage history won’t initially be available online, although Social Security officials plan to add it later. Saving $70 million is nothing to sneeze at. However, there are better ways to implement this change. Instead of abruptly stopping mailed statements, why not establish a transition period that gives recipients the option of continuing to receive them for a while? That grace period would ease the transition for some while giving Social Security officials time to make sure all of a worker’s wage history data is available online and easily accessible.

Pull plug on robocalls Automation has given us many wonderful advances. Political robocalls aren’t among them. Once again, N.C. legislators are debating whether to let constituents stop — or at least greatly reduce — the noisome recorded campaign calls that arrive in increasing numbers each election cycle. A proposal would add prerecorded political messages to the “do not call” registry created in 2003. Opponents of adding political robocalls to the registry often argue it would violate candidates’ freedom of speech. When did machines gain constitutional rights? The ban would apply only to recorded calls. Candidates who want to make random calls to voters would still be free to do so. They’d just have to use real callers. With another presidential election cycle on the horizon, N.C. legislators should pull the plug and let constituents opt out of the robocall campaign blitz.

It’s time to protest ... ... For higher taxes on nation’s top earners BY BERKLEY BEDELL The Providence Journal

started a fishing-tackle manufacturing business, Berkley and Company, with $50 saved from my newspaper route when I was 15. From the beginning, my main focus was on revenue. The business was successful. In my 50s I ran for Congress as a Democrat. I won and appointed a person to run the company. He focused on cutting costs rather than building revenue, and the business was soon headed for bankruptcy. My son, Tom, came back to Iowa to run the company. He focused on marketing and research to build revenue, and when he sold BEDELL the company a few years ago it was by far the largest, most successful fishing-tackle manufacturing company in the nation. Show me a company that ignores revenue and focuses on cutting costs, and I will show you a firm that is headed for failure. Show me a government that ignores revenue and focuses on cutting costs, and I will show you a government that is a failure. Today that is exactly what we have in our state and federal governments. Like most people and most corporations, I would prefer not to have to pay taxes. I am now 90. I lived during the middle of the 20th century, when the top federal income-tax rate varied between 70-and-91 percent, more than double that of today. I saw what we can do when we properly tax ourselves to build a better nation. Today the top 1 percent of households has more than 38 percent of all privately held stock, 60 percent of financial securities and 62 percent of business equity. The top 10 percent own up to 90 percent of stocks, bonds, trust funds and business equities,

and over 75 percent of non-home real estate. Since financial health is what counts as far as control of income-producing assets, we can say that just 10 percent of the people own America. My wife and I are part of that 10 percent. We are heroes in our hometown, Sprit Lake, Iowa, just as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are national heroes. Like them, we are not bad people, we want to be good people and contribute so we have formed a foundation for alternative medicine (FAIM.org) to try to do good with our money. But our government is all screwed up. Instead of using everyone's wealth to build a better society as we did in the 1950s, we are cutting taxes to the rich and corporate America, while we cut back on services and jobs for the masses. You do not create jobs by firing teachers and lowering wages. People are starting to rise up in Wisconsin, Ohio and other states. They are correct to be disturbed and to protest. I hope that they will keep it up. I hope they realize the basic problem. It is that revenue matters! Until we properly tax corporate America and those of us who can afford it, and use those revenues to put our people back to work, clean up the environment, replace fossil fuels, reduce the deficit and bring back the prosperity we had in the middle of the last century, I believe we all need to join those protesters. Having served in Congress, I have seen how political contributions from the rich and corporations control our government. It is time for the people -— all of us — to do as did the people of Egypt, and join the street marches to demand that our government bring back the time we had in my youth, when we worked together, rich and poor, to contribute the tax revenue needed to build a nation that was the envy of the world. • • • Berkley Bedell served six terms in Congress. President Lyndon Johnson recognized him in 1964 as the nation’s First National Small Business Person of the Year.

Today, the top 1 percent of households has more than 38 percent of all privately held stock, 60 percent of financial securities and 62 percent of business equity.

pit bull; as strong and muscular as one can imagine, nicer than anyone could believe. She loved and was loved by cats, kittens, other dogs, children and any person she met. She was never aggressive toward anything in two and a half years, except thunder and shadows; then her bark and scowl could be fearsome. She led a breakout from our dog lot the day after last week’s storms. She and our other three dogs ran for the woods and were running free before anyone knew they were gone. The other three came back. Charlotte ran into a downed power line and never came home. Charlotte died doing what she loved, running in the woods, queen of the forest.

From diddio mom: I have been in there with a police officer doing the rounds at night. It takes at least an hour to check all the doors, etc. It’s also extremely spooky in there. If the officers were doing this several times a night, then they should be paid for it because it takes an officer off the streets of Spencer, which is paying their salary.

... Editorial: A cash carrot for students From xactlymypoint: Right now, the children can drop out of school and when the time is right they can collect welfare benefits. So, to try to discourage them from doing this you are going to dangle $1,000 per year in front of them? How about go back to where receiving an education was a privilege and a child wanted to succeed because the school and the parents would make them. From free citizen: Let’s make that cash for school retroactive. LOL I can’t believe in hard times like these, that anyone would suggest such an expensive and hairbrained scheme.

The Rowan Medical Society Alliance was organized by the spouses of Rowan County physicians to promote community health projects in Rowan County. On April 6, the Alliance presented its main fundraiser, “Fashions for a Cause,” with the help and support of numerous volunteers and local businesses. All of the proceeds from our show go to support the Community Care Clinic of Rowan County. This year, we raised more than $10,000. The Community Care Clinic, with the volunteer help of our local doctors, nurses, pharmacists, dentists and others, provides medical care to people in the county who because of current circumstances are unable to afford medical care. We would like to thank the following stores that shared their beautiful spring clothes and models with our supporters: Annes Dress Shop, Attractions on Main, Belk, Maia’s Fashions, A Perfect Dress, Stitchin’ Post Gifts and Thread Shed Clothing Co. Numerous other businesses and individuals provided funds, door prizes, raffle items, and services. David Whisenant, our faithful master of ceremonies, charmed us all with his latest fashion sense. The Medical Alliance wants to thank all of the people and local businesses who continue to share their talents, time and treasures with others in our town. We know you have been asked many times for help. Please know that your community appreciates your generosity. — Elizabeth Kaufmann Kaufmann served on the Fashions for a Cause organizing committee.

Vaneekhoven is not in favor of the consolidation. “My view is that bigger government does not better serve the victims of crime in Cabarrus or Rowan counties,” she said. “And consolidating districts equals bigger government. “I kind of look at it like, the bigger you make someone’s backyard to protect, the harder it is to protect.” Vaneekhoven said district attorneys in smaller districts can VANEEKHOVEN give victims of crime a “bigger and louder voice,” and also keep district attorneys “more accountable and more accessible to the people they serve.” “I feel like enlarging districts is a complete disservice to victims and to the law abiding citizens we work to protect through the pursuit of justice within our court system,” she said. “No matter what the proposal is, bigger government always equals more

money spent. ... Bigger government always costs more money in the long run and provides less of a service to victims.” Rowan County Manager Gary Page said the entire proposal “goes back to the same old thing — the state doesn’t want to take responsibility,” he said. “In the everyday world it doesn’t work that way,” he said of the shifting of responsibility and cuts. “Apparently in Raleigh it doesn’t work that way.” Other proposals in the budget include: • Eliminating 117 victim witness/legal assistant positions from district attorney offices across the state; • Moving misdemeanor offenders to county jails, which is part of the Justice Reinvestment Act currently in the House as House Bill 642; • Reducing district attorney support staff; • Eliminating 19 magistrate positions across the state, but none would be affected in Rowan; • Reducing inmate cost by increasing sentence reduction credits.

SALISBURY — Local kindergartners are getting a hands-on look at how clay, wood, cloth and paper are used in every day life. The Rowan-Salisbury School System’s elementary and academically/intellectually gifted (AIG) departments teamed up this year to bring ordinary science objectives to life through the Kindergarten Kaleidoscope field trip. Every kindergartner in the school system gets to take a trip to the Salisbury Civic Center where four different stations await them. At each station students explore where clay, wood, cloth and River hash, a student at Rockwell paper come from, how each one is elementary, smells a piece of cedar. used as well as how it feels, looks, smells and sounds. The things they learn during the trip tie into the state’s core science curriculum.

Grey Calvert assists a group of Rockwell elementary students with sculptures.

Wood work Grey Calvert, a retired RowanSalisbury school teacher, manned the wood work station this week, showing off wood beads, tree bark and a variety of wooden furniture. “It gives them a lot of difference experiences,” she said. “The most important thing is the handson stuff because that’s what they’ll remember ... you can talk to them but when they actually have it in their hands it connects to their little minds.” After Calvert schooled the students in all aspects of wood, she gave them the opportunity to build their own sculptures using up to

five wood pieces. She said that exercise gives them an opportunity to use both math and fine motor skills. Each class was given a box of work to take with them to make sculptures when they arrived back at school.

Fabric Fun Jane Creech, the school system’s elementary curriculum specialist, led the fabric fun station this week. Students had the opportunity to learn how clothes are made.

Creech showed them a spinning wheel and explained how machines do the work that spinning wheels and hand stitching with a needle and thread once did. After learning about fabric, students had the chance to stitch their first initial into a piece of burlap using a large plastic needle and yarn.

School collects Pillow Pets for Jeff Gordon’s Children’s Hospital CHINA GROVE ― The students at China Grove Middle School were recently greeted by an unexpected visitor. Wellobee, mascot of Jeff Gordon Children’s Hospital at Carolinas Medical Center-NorthEast, made a surprise entrance into six classrooms Monday afternoon. Wellobee gave hugs and high-fives to students as their principal, Dr. James Davis, spoke about a special project to help hospitalized children. The Pillow Pet project represents a partnership between Rowan-Salisbury Schools and CMC-NorthEast’s Jeff Gordon Children’s Hospital. The China Grove Middle School student leadership group is collecting Pillow Pets to donate to patients at Jeff Gordon Children’s Hospital. China Grove Middle School, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary, is the first Rowan-Salisbury school ever to host a drive for the hospital. The students have been excit-

ed to participate in the project. “It’s very close to their hearts because it’s about children helping children,” Davis said. The Pillow Pet project originated in Indianapolis with Jacob McConahay, a 7-year-old boy with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. McConahay wanted to make a difference in the lives of other sick children. He began donating Pillow Pets to provide them comfort during their hospitalization. Inspired by McConahay, the students of China Grove Middle are bringing the project to Rowan County. The student leadership group chose CMC-NorthEast because they have an entire hospital devoted to children. The Jeff Gordon Children’s Hospital is a 53-bed hospital on the campus of CMC-NorthEast. It provides highly specialized pediatric care, offering a wide range of services spanning from wellness to

sub-specialties and intensive care. Wellobee, along with Davis and staff from CMC-NorthEast’s department of Business and Community Outreach, promoted the project by speaking in classrooms and filming a school newscast. The students were surprised and thrilled to see Wellobee entering their classrooms. Many jumped out of their seats to hug the mascot. “The enthusiasm was far more than we anticipated,” said Davis. “There was genuine excitement at seeing this larger-than-life character.” The students recognized the mascot from the Landis and China Grove parade and the Salisbury parade. Several students said they were happy to learn Wellobee’s name and meet him in person. Davis, who was the 2011 Wachovia Principal of the Year for the Rowan-Salisbury School System, said the Wellobee visit was productive

More than 600 high school students in Rowan County dropped out before graduation in the past two school years (2007-09, NC DPI). One of the main goals of the N.C. Migrant Education Program (NC MEP) is to decrease the number of high school dropouts. On Friday, the NC MEP-Rowan will kick off the Together for a Better Education/Juntos Para Una Mejor Educación dropout prevention program at West Rowan High School. Developed by specialists at N.C. State University Department of 4-H & Youth Development and Family & Consumer Sciences, the Juntos program has been held in more than 20 locations in N.C. and is aimed at eighth to 12th grade students and their parents. Juntos is an activity-based, six-week long series of twoand-a-half-hour sessions held once per week, which engages youth and their parents in learning together about ways to succeed in school, prevent high school students from dropping out, and work together to gain access to college. Just a few of the topics covered during the program are college entrance exams, advanced high school courses, college admission procedures, financial aid and scholarships and how to navigate the school system. The importance of parents and students working together to achieve goals is a central theme over all six weeks. Participants are also taught how to advocate for themselves and use community resources. Previous participants of Juntos showed significant increases in learning, attitudes, and skills gained on pre- and post-test evaluations; parents report a significant increase in their monitoring their child’s homework, meeting with school staff and increased skills and knowledge about the college application process. Youth reported significant increase in their planning for after high school and sharing those goals with their parents; 92 percent of parents report increased confidence in working with their child’s school and 93 percent of parents reported that they felt they had the information they needed to help their teenager successfully complete high school, according to ncfamilies.com/juntos/research. Parents have said participation in the program has made them more able to ask for help for their child and better able to find information to get their child to college. They said they liked learning how things are in N.C. because things are so different from the systems in their home countries. NC MEP-Rowan is very excited to have the opportunity to bring this successful program to Rowan County. More information about the Juntos program can be found online at ncfamilies.com/juntos Any other schools, businesses or organizations who would be interested in starting Juntos at their location are welcome to contact Mindy Robinson, NC MEP-Rowan, education advocate, at 704216-8980 or mindy_robinson@ncsu.edu for more information.

Smart Start marks Week of Young Child Week of the Young Child is celebrated across the country to honor young children and all of those who make a difference in children’s lives. Young children and their families depend on highquality education and care, which helps children get a great start and bring lasting benefits. Week of the Young Child is a time to recognize the importance of early learning and early literacy, and to celebrate the teachers and policies

that bring early childhood education to young children. Smart Start Rowan annually celebrates week of the young child to focus attention on the needs of young children and the parents and teachers who care for them. During the Week of the Young Child (April 10-16), Smart Start Rowan will sponsor the “Read to Me” program. This program will involve board and committee members visiting local childcare facilities

throughout Rowan County to read to 4- year-olds. A book will be donated to the childcare facility in honor of the volunteer. Smart Start Rowan will also collaborate with the office of Dr. Timothy Hennie to bring awareness to the importance of children’s vision. Dr. Melanie J. Denton, O.D., will provide free, onetime eye and vision assessments to infants ages 0-1 year. To schedule an appointment, please call 704633-2581.

Salisbury Academy competes in elementary Battle of the Books

Male faculty, students ‘Press to Dress’ as women West Rowan High School Student Council recently sponsored an event called “Press to Dress” to raise money for Victory Junction. The initial goal was $500. The student council teachers Durwood Bynum, Jason Chester, Mr. Daniel, Rodney Harrington asked senior students Dan Taggart, Domonique Noble, Xavier Still, Micah Cook, Madison Osborne, Trey Mashore, Christian Vaughters, Will Leazer and Kendall Hosch if they’d dress as a girl for an entire school day if the school met its goal. They all agreed to be “pressed to dress.” As an added incentive, Dr. Jamie Durant, principal, and Athletic Director Todd Bell agreed to also dress if the school raised $1,000. The school met its goal of $1,000. All of the guys were good sports. The school is proud of the West Rowan family for coming together to support Victory Junction.

LEARNING

Isenberg, Knollwood staff complete leadership training

FRom 1b hand and go to work,” Frazer said. “It’s easy to handle. “You can teach so much with pottery, it’s one of the finest materials used by ancient people.”

Paper possibilities The AIG teacher from every school mans the paper station during each trip to the Civic Center. Students learned that paper can be cut, folded, torn and drawn, painted and written on. They also learned how it’s used. They also discovered that kaleidoscopes have a symmetrical geometric design that can be viewed through a small hole. After discussing all the possibilities for paper, students broke into small groups to create their own symmetrical kaleidoscope design by tearing pieces of colored construction paper and gluing it to a white piece of cardstock.

The staff from both Isenberg and Knollwood elementary schools completed training at the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching (NCCAT), Cullowhee. The theme for the training was “Toy Box” Leadership. The staff studied various leadership styles and compared them to their favorite toys. The staff also participated in sessions that focused on classroom rigor while promoting a positive school culture and team-building. The staff studied metacognition and meta-cognitive

strategies, technology strategies and literacy strategies. The school’s curriculum coaches provided a preview on the new Common Core Standards. Teachers also received training on math strategies by using hands-on equation. Principals Shonda Hairston and Nathan Currie decided to focus on teacher leadership as teachers are now evaluated on this element. Currie explained the goal must be to empower teachers and students. Hairston stated it was a great time to allow teachers to collaborate and share best practices.

Cannon School celebrates Pi Day Cannon School celebrated Pi Day (3.1415926535...) a little early with pie eating contests and the annual student pi recitation contest. Congratulations to Daniel Lee, a junior from Davidson who recited 774 numbers of pi, breaking Cannon’s record of 660 set last year by alumna Lyndsay Cooper. Pi Day was started by physicist Larry Shaw in San Francisco in 1989. March 14 was chosen because the numerical equivalent of the date (3/14) corresponds to the first three digits of pi, which is the circumference of a circle divided by the diameter.

Before students arrive to participate in Kindergarten Kaleidoscope, the AIG teacher at each school does preparatory lessons with kindergarten classes to set the foundation for their experience. Teachers from Rockwell Elementary were impressed with the organization and flow of the field trip when their school visited the Civic Center this week. “I really like that the kids are participating in hands-on activities,” teacher Sandra Hahn said. “It helps stretch their imagination and keeps them engaged.” Teacher Kayla Jones said she was disappointed to find out field trips to Horizons Unlimited had been eliminated this year, but was pleasantly surprised at the learning opportunities provided through the kaleidoscope trip. “The kids have been very excited about all the handson activities,” she said. “They really enjoy anything they can get their hands in.” Frazer said as a community member she thinks the trip is a great idea. “It is very important for children to have exposure to art and culture and to understand what it is,” she said. The learning doesn’t stop after students leave the Civic Center. Teachers are encouraged to do follow-up lessons that include writing and using a camera in a scavenger hunt around school to find the different materials, which they can used to make a gallery to showcase their work to share with others.

Creech said the Kindergarten Kaleidoscope field trip would not have come to life had it not been for the generosity of the community. The Blanche and Julian Robertson Family Foundation funded the trips through a grant. Robert Howard’s woodworking class at North Rowan cut the pieces of wood students use to create their sculptures and senior citizens at Trinity Oaks prepared more than 1,500 pieces of burlap for the children to use when stitching their initials. Creech said Debbie Snyder, Trinity Oaks activities director, Norma Honeycutt, director of Partners in Learning, the Partners in Learning teaching staff, retired Rowan County teachers, members of the art community and the staff of the Salisbury Civic Center were also instrumental in making the field trip a reality. Brenda Gariepy and Robert Toth supplied the clay for the pinch pots children created. “The list just goes on and on and on of people helping people, doing a good turn for others, all to help our youngest learners connect learning in a real life experience,” Creech said. “Once again, when it is needed more than ever, this village is saying ‘yes’ to its children and their education through this kind of support.”

SALISBURY POST

Thursday, April 14 Certain social contacts could take on greater significance for you in the coming months. This is likely to mean that a few good friends will put themselves in a position to do things for you that you haven’t been able to do for yourself. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Try once again to tackle an ambitious objective that has proven to be more difficult than you thought. Time has worked to your advantage, and it should come easier now. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — That hoped-for opening to present a plan of yours to someone who could help make things happen is likely to occur. Jump on it the moment you get the chance. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You could be extremely useful in helping another make the necessary changes to implement an important project of his or hers. If you have the answer, don’t hesitate to speak up. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Don’t be reluctant to stand firm on an issue about which you have more knowledge than your associates. Once things are explained to them, they will become enlightened supporters. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Material situations look exceptionally good for you, and there is a better than average chance that you will experience some kind of personal gain. Keep your eyes and ears open. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — For reasons you may never understand, there will be an extra dimension to your personality that’ll make you extremely attractive to your peers. Don’t question it — just ride the tide. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — You’ll have a considerable amount of inner resolve from which to draw, so when you have to compete against another, use this strength for all its worth to give you the edge. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Look for an opportunity to strengthen a friendship that has been faltering lately, because an excellent chance will present itself. Your pal will be responsive, and equally eager to restore bonds. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — When it comes to an important financial matter, rely on factors that you know from personal experience have worked previously. If they were winners once, they’ll pay off again. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Your leadership qualities will be very much in evidence, so don’t be surprised if colleagues look to you for guidance and direction. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Anything you unselfishly do for others will produce advantages for you as well. There’s a lesson in this, and that is: benefits come from leaning on the arms of those you help. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — It’s to your advantage to spend time with people whose company you enjoy. You choose: it can be with family members or just friends, or a mix of both. Put the package together yourself.

Pick’s disease can resemble Alzheimer’s Dear Dr. Gott: Some years ago, you wrote an article on Pick’s disease that I misplaced. Can you discuss it once again? Dear reader: Pick’s is a rare but permanent form of dementia similar to Alzheimer’s disease. It has a tendency to affect only certain areas of the and brain can affect people as young as 20; it is DR. PETER however, more comGOTT mon in people closer to 55 or 60. People with Pick’s have abnormal substances known as Pick bodies and Pick cells inside nerve cells within damaged areas of the brain. Tissue in the temporal and frontal lobes of the brain shrink over time and result

in impaired thought processes, behavioral changes and difficulties with speech. It’s the early personality changes that allow physicians to differentiate between Pick’s and Alzheimer’s, which ordinarily presents with memory loss. People with Pick’s behave inappropriately, might exhibit an inability to function publicly, be unable to maintain a job, may withdraw socially, have mood changes, and fail to exhibit concern and empathy. They may have difficulty speaking or cannot speak at all, can’t find the right word to say, have coordination problems, increased rigidity and weakness. There may be a problem with urinary incontinence. Testing to rule out other dementia-related causes might include an EEG, MRI of the brain, CT of the head and neurological examination; however, a brain biopsy is the only test available for an accurate confirmatory diagnosis.

Treatment might include antidepressants or antipsychotic drugs to control mood swings and agitation. Depending on a person’s symptoms and the severity of the Pick’s, a person may require assistance with self-care and personal hygiene. Pick’s will worsen with time, and a patient may become totally disabled in the course of the disease. Readers interested in learning more about Alzheimer’s can order my Health Report “Alzheimer’s Disease” by sending a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order made payable to Newsletter and mailed to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. Be sure to mention the title or print an order form off my website’s direct link at www.AskDrGottMD.com/order—form.pdf. Dear Dr. Gott: I am puzzled as to why eating lamb causes

such an extreme reaction to my system. One bite of lamb cooked any way or lamb dishes of any kind causes me to become nauseated within 10 minutes. It continues for up to three days and includes continuous vomiting and diarrhea. The first time this happened, I was hospitalized for three days. The second time it happened, I ate lamb by accident because my great-aunt did not believe me when I said I could not eat it. I was pregnant at the time and almost lost the baby. It took five days to totally rehydrate my system. Do you have any idea why lamb meat would cause such a violent reaction? Dear reader: Meat allergy may be more common than thought. An intolerance to any food is ordinarily caused by an enzyme deficiency. Either that or the intestines may be overly sensitive to this particular food. In an allergic reaction,

the offending substance — in your case, lamb — the body perceives the protein (or sugar in other cases) as foreign, causing the release of histamine, which leads to the body’s overreaction. Other common products for people to consider are the sugar in milk that causes lactose intolerance, shellfish, soy, wheat, nuts and food additives. An allergic reaction can occur within minutes of ingestion and might include hives, diarrhea, vomiting, rash, itching and difficulty breathing. Lamb intolerance is uncommon, but does occur. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online. His website is www.AskDrGottMD. com. UniTEd FEATURE SyndiCATE

Online payments make monthly bills a breeze Dear Mary: My husband has short-term memory loss. He likes to bring in the mail but sometimes forgets to give me a Albill. though I am on the alert, one will get past me once in a while. I’d like to have everything possible charged to a MARY credit card HUNT (paid in full every month). Is it wise to get a separate card just for automatic billing? — Bonnie, email

Dear Bonnie: That would be one way to do it, but I think there is a better option.

Electronic bill pay allows you to pay your bills directly from your bank account. Go to your bank’s website, where you’ll learn that your bank allows account holders to check their account balances and transfer funds to any company or individual they want, electronically. Though your bank’s pay system may vary slightly, generally this is how it works: You set up a list of the companies and people you want to pay. After you add your bills, you will see them listed in a “payment center,” which creates a history that you can use each month instead of having to re-enter the information. To pay a bill, enter a payment amount and the date when you want that company or person to receive your payment; hit

“submit” and your payments are taken care of. You can put bills you pay every month — such as your utilities, credit cards and others — on “auto bill pay,” which makes it even more convenient. Once you get this all set up, you’ll be amazed by how simple it is to manage your bank account and pay your bills. Be sure to ask for assistance in getting set up if you have any problems or questions. Dear Mary: How many is too many when it comes to credit cards? I only use two of my cards regularly, but I have about 20. I have heard you never should cancel a credit card because it negatively affects your credit score. But I feel that 20 is too

many. What should I do? — Kim, email

Dear Kim: More than one credit card is too many, in my opinion. But you’re right; once you have them, it can be a huge undertaking to get rid of them. Doing that can damage your credit score temporarily. That’s why I suggest you set up a systemized schedule. Cancel one every six months or so to avoid giving your credit score an unnecessary negative jolt. Just keep in mind that to maintain a high credit score, you need to maintain a big gap between how much total available credit you have at any given time and how much of that credit you are using. It’s not the number of

accounts that you have that matters to your credit score; it’s the credit ratio. If you regularly pay those two cards you use to $0 each month, you should be good with keeping them. And gear up. It’s not so simple as you might assume to get rid of 18 credit accounts. Do you have a question for Mary? Email her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O.

Bridge hand: Surround them for success B Y P HILLIP A LDER United Feature Syndicate

Henry Albert Ben’s second law is: “Hell must be isothermal; for otherwise the resident engineers and physical chemists (of which there must be some) could set up a heat engine to run a refrigerator to cool off a portion of their surroundings to any desired temperature.” We have a surrounding play in bridge, which warms the cockles of our partner’s heart and cools the enthusiasm of the opponents. Where does it occur in this deal? North was right to make a take-

out double. His hand was playable in three strains, not just the one that a three-diamond overcalling three diamonds would have advertised. South bid three spades, knowing that his partner would assume he had six or seven points. North raised to game because that’s where he wanted to be opposite moderate values. West led the club three, bottom from a low tripleton when leading partner’s suit, which he had not supported. East won with his ace, but what did he do next? When on defense, wonder where you might get the tricks you need to defeat the contract. Here, East saw

that his side was getting no spade trick, no diamond trick (the finesse was working if South lacked the queen) and only one club trick. So the defenders needed to take three heart tricks. Since East had dummy’s top heartcard encircled by his jack and nine, and he held one higher, nontouching honor, he shifted to the heart jack. This surrounding play gained the defense the desired three heart tricks devoutly to be desired. If instead East had led the heart nine, South could have played low and lost only two heart tricks.

Expect an active weather day across the Central US on Thursday, when a trough of low pressure strengthens by moving off the Rocky Mountains and into the Plains. The system creates interesting weather across the Plains due to its strong counter-clockwise rotation. The leading edge of the system pulls warm and moist air in from the Gulf of Mexico, creating favorable conditions for thunderstorm activity across the Central and Southern Plains. The strongest chance for severe storm development will be confined to Oklahoma and Kansas. At the same time, the northern side of this system will see drastically cooler temperatures as it pulls cold air in from Canada, thus creating widespread scattered rain and snow showers. Daytime highs will return to the lower 40s across Nebraska and the Dakotas, but overnight lows dipping into the 30s will allow for some overnight snow showers to develop. Snow showers will also persist across the High Plains as well as the Northern and Central Rockies, with total snowfall accumulation between 2 to 4 inches. Further West, another low pressure system and associated cold front move into the Pacific Northwest. This brings more rain showers with high elevation snow showers to Washington, Oregon, and northern California. In the Southwest, however, a ridge of high pressure dominates, allowing for warm, sunny, and dry conditions across southern California and Arizona.

Prep baseball Galloway helps Carson to 17-1 win over hapless Statesville/2C

DETROIT — Josh Hamilton sat in front of his locker and seemed a little more at ease, saying he and third-base coach Dave Anderson have cleared up any misunderstandings. Now, the Texas Rangers have to try to win without their slugger. Their first attempt fell short. Brandon Inge hit a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Detroit Tigers beat the Rangers 3-2 on Wednesday. It was Texas' first game without Hamilton, who broke his right arm Tuesday while being thrown out at the plate. Hamilton tagged up on a foul popup, a risky play he called “stupid” afterward. He said running was a bad decision, but that Anderson told him to do it.

Bobcats win finale

The two met before Wednesday’s game. “I just appreciate Dave having confidence in my ability to think I could make that play. We talked behind closed doors and just kind of talked about everything,” Hamilton said. “I could have took a different route, as far as trying to cool down a little bit before I spoke.” Hamilton broke his upper right arm. The Rangers put him on the 15-day disabled list, but the reigning AL MVP is expected to miss six to eight weeks. He isn’t expected to swing a bat for a month. Texas recalled infielder Chris Davis from Triple-A Round Rock. Anderson said before the game the team’s style isn’t going to change.

CHARLOTTE — Gerald Henderson Bobcats 96 scored 20 Hawks 85 points, D.J. Augustin added 17 points and seven assists and the Charlotte Bobcats sent the Atlanta Hawks to the playoffs on a six-game losing streak with a 96-85 victory Wednesday night. Closing a tumultuous season that saw a coaching change, a major trade and no repeat playoff appearance, the Bobcats built a 20-point second-quarter lead and withstood Atlanta’s reserve-fueled

second-half run to finish with a two-game winning streak. The Bobcats put five players in double figures and shot 50 percent despite playing an eighth straight game without top scorer Stephen Jackson (hamstring). Dressing only nine players for the seventh straight game, the Bobcats earned a season split with the Hawks. The victory came a few hours after a rare media session in which owner Michael Jordan insisted that “barring injuries we would have been in the playoffs.” But Charlotte went just 9-16 after trading former All-Star Gerald Wal-

PREP TRACK

Stars expect to win RANITE QUARRY — The more time you spend watching Darien Rankin, the more you realize anything is possible. Even on a day like Wednesday, when the do-itall Salisbury senior fell short of his own lofty exDAVID pectations SHAW in the Rowan County track & field championships. “I wouldn’t say it was disappointing,” he explained after winning two jumping events and placing fourth in another. “It’s just not how I thought it would be.” It wasn’t, and therein lies the fuel that drives Rankin to be the best. Expecting to win — and win in record-setting fashion, no less — is what makes him so dangerous. “That’s just his competitive nature,” SHS coach Darius Bryson noted. “That’s Darien. It’s his last county meet and he wanted a county record (in the high jump) today, but he’s going home without it.” Never mind that Rankin cleared six feet and six inches to win the event with relative ease. It wasn’t 6-8, his personal best set in the season’s first meet. And it wasn’t 6-9, the county-meet record held by East Rowan graduate Brian Perry, or the 6-10 that South’s B.J. Grant topped in last spring’s NPC meet. In his mind, merely winning wasn’t sufficient. “I truly set my goals real high,” Rankin said after spending 10 minutes alone to reflect. “I don’t know. I don’t think I focused enough.” • Talented and humble. The only thing not to like about Rankin is having to compete against him. Listen to North Rowan’s Sam Starks, a friendly rival since childhood: “You’re not gonna always perform your best or do your best, but you’ve got to come with the mindset of being your best. That’s what he does.” Starks, another blueribbon senior, knows a thing or two about being the best. He successfully defended his title in the

Cav talent beats East BY RYAN BISESI rbisesi@salisburypost.com

GRANITE QUARRY — “He’s a freak of nature,” shouts East Rowan’s Evan Hiatt when talking about the day that teammate Ben Hancock had at the Rowan County Meet. The claim had merit, as Hancock claimed personal bests in winning the 400 and 200 meter runs, helped win a 4x400 relay and took second in the 100. Hancock, whose 20-year-old brother Gabe committed suicide in January, explained it another way. “I felt like my brother was watching over me,” said the future

marine. “I asked him to give me a hand and he came through. It felt good.” In a day where just about all the athletes on East Rowan’s football field had an interesting story to tell, Hancock’s was impossible to overlook. He won the 400 for the third straight year and was the meet’s sprint MVP, a worthy accolade according to his coach. “He has been so motivated by Gabe going into this season,” East coach Rick Roseman said. “Gabe has inspired Ben to do what he did today.” Hancock’s spirit was matched around the field on Wednesday with a stellar senior crop, all showcasing

their talents. North Rowan’s talent and experience won out in both the boys and girls competitions with the Cavalier boys edging East 156-146 for their first County title since 2006. Even with the competitive nature of the day, rival athletes stood in admiration of their competitors. North junior Johnny Oglesby pointed over at Salisbury stud Darien Rankin. “That man over there is going to make me compete in the long jump,” Oglesby said with a laugh. Oglesby, who won the 110 hurdles (39.37) and the 300 hurdles (39.37), later fell to Rankin, the field wayne hinshaw/sALisBUrY post

NR’s Ramos: The real deal BY RYAN BISESI rbisesi@salisburypost.com

GRANITE QUARRY — It was an un-four-gettable day for Meloney Ramos. The North Rowan senior and Western Carolina signee guided the Cavaliers to their second county title in three years by winning four events, two on the track and two in the field. Ramos, was gasping for air minutes after completing the 300 dash before realizing she had another event to win. wayne hinshaw/sALisBUrY post Time waits for no one, not it was a photo finish in the girls 100 with salisbury’s Najwa even track stars such as Allison nipped by North’s tameisha Allen and Christen Jones.

meet. “I’m used to it,” she said. “I usually do four events every time. I’m glad I got a break so I can recover.” Thanks to the meet being delayed a day, Ramos also got a break from her senior project at school, her with the subject dealing with — what else — track. “I was pretty happy about that,” Ramos remarked.

SHS beats Dragons From staff reports

Salisbury’s soccer team got two more goals from Karen Presnell and beat West Davidson 4-1 for a CCC win, but what happened after the match was an even bigger highlight for SHS coach Matt Parrish. West Davidson coach Chris Brown asked to speak to Salisbury’s seniors after the game and congratulated them not only on the win and on their careers, but on the level to which they had elevated the program. “It was the classiest thing I’ve ever seen at Ludwig Stadium,” Parrish said. “He talked about the level both our programs have reached and talked about the mutual respect the programs have and how much he’s enjoyed competing against our girls. “That was coming from our biggest rival, by far, so it was awesome. It was just a very cool thing.” Callie Wynn scored early for West Davidson, outracing Salisbury keeper Olivia Rankin to a ball, and finishing with a perfect shot. It was the only shot the Dragons had in the first half. “The first time we’ve been down since West Rowan, the second game of the season,” Parrish said. It was 1-1 at halftime. Presnell scored both her goals with her left foot, converting two perfect shots despite exceptional defense by Mo Yarboro. Madison Kennedy finished with a goal and two assists, and fifth-ranked Salisbury (11-0-2, 6-0 CCC) took control the last 15 minutes. Jenna Bryan scored her first goal of the season on a direct kick. Malee Fisher, Taylor Slate, Susannah Dixon and Whitney Brown turned in stellar defensive efforts. “Our defense was airtight,” Parrish said. The only negative for the Hornets was an ankle injury sustained by Kennedy with eight minutes left.  Carson (4-10) got a hat trick from freshman Hannah Elmore and two goals from freshman Lindsay Moore and beat South Rowan 5-1 in NPC soccer on Wednesday.

SPORTS DIGEST

Surgery for Heels, Wolfpack

Kemba throws out first pitch at Yankees’ game Associated Press

STORRS, Conn. — Connecticut basketball star Kemba Walker said he was a little nervous about appearing at Yankee Stadium. Walker, who led UConn to its third national championship with a 53-41 win over Butler last week, threw out the first pitch before Wednesday night’s game between the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles. Walker said he’s been practicing. His coach, Jim Calhoun — a Red Sox fan — threw out the first pitch at Fenway Park during a game between the Yankees and Red Sox on Saturday. Walker says he “didn’t think it was that serious at first, but it’s serious.” Walker grew up a Yankees fan in the Bronx. The junior announced Tuesday that he would be entering this year’s NBA draft.

COLLEGE HOOPS Derrick Williams helped Arizona finish off its rebuilding project with a spectacular sophomore season, boosting his draft status in the process. Now it's time to see what he can do in the NBA. Considered a potential lottery pick, Williams declared for the NBA draft on Wednesday and will sign

with an agent, ending two impressive seasons that helped turned Arizona's program around. • TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida State junior Chris Singleton, who led the Seminoles to three consecutive NCAA tournaments, said Wednesday he'll forego his final year of collegiate eligibility to enter the NBA draft. Singleton said he has not yet signed with an agent, but is unlikely to change his mind about leaving school early. • SAN DIEGO — Eight of 10 people charged with running a betting ring involving the University of San Diego's basketball team have pleaded not guilty. The defendants entered their pleas in federal court. Six of the eight defendants were granted bail ranging from $35,000 to $50,000. The NCAA also announced plans to conduct its own investigation into the gambling ring, but will wait until the FBI completes its work.

NFL MINNEAPOLIS — Different state. Different mediator. Same disagreements. One month and two days after the NFL and its players cut off negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement and put the 2011 season in peril, the two sides

will return to the table for court-ordered mediation Thursday with a key legal ruling on the lockout still pending. NFL executives met with U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan on Wednesday for five hours the day before the first talks between the league and the players since the middle of March. • NEW CITY, N.Y. — Former pro football star Lawrence Taylor, who pleaded guilty in January to sexual misconduct and patronizing a 16-year-old prostitute, was declared a low-risk sex offender, meaning there will be no photo of the former New York Giants linebacker on public online sex-offender registries.

KOBE’S SLUR LOS ANGELES — The NBA fined Kobe Bryant $100,000 on Wednesday for using a derogatory gay term in frustration over a call. NBA Commissioner David Stern issued a swift disciplinary ruling after the Los Angeles Lakers' fivetime NBA champion guard cursed and used the homophobic slur when referee Bennie Adams called a technical foul on him during the third quarter of a victory over the San Antonio Spurs. "Kobe Bryant's comment

"While I'm fully aware that basketball is an emotional game, such a distasteful term should never be tolerated. ... Kobe and everyone associated with the NBA know that insensitive or derogatory comments are not acceptable and have no place in our game or society." • LOS ANGELES — Lakers center Andrew Bynum hyperextended his right knee during the second quarter of Los Angeles' game against San Antonio, a serious blow to the Lakers' hopes for a third straight NBA title.

The NASCAR notebook ... FLORENCE, S.C. — Kevin Harvick is tuning up for his next Sprint Cup race at Talladega in a different sort of vehicle. Harvick jumped out the passenger side of a Budweiser delivery truck and rolled a dolly full of beer into a Wal-Mart here Wednesday as customers and store workers gawked at the Sprint Cup star. It was part of an orchestrated promotion for Harvick and his new sponsor. He toured facilities of an area wholeseller, had a lunchtime question-and-answer session with fans and ended by stocking shelves. “I had a great time today,” Harvick said. It is the first year that Harvick’s Richard Childress Racing team has carried the brand of Anheuser-Busch’s signature brew. And so far, it’s been a winning association that Harvick hopes to continue at Talladega Superspeedway in Sunday’s Aaron’s 499. BURTON’S BAD LUCK CHARLOTTE — Jeff Burton went into the seasonopening Daytona 500 with a solid shot at winning NASCAR’s biggest race of the year. Then his engine failed 92 laps into the race, setting in motion a string of bad luck

that’s plagued Burton through the first two months of the season. He goes into Talladega Superspeedway ranked 25th in the Sprint Cup standings, and nothing close to the title contender team owner Richard Childress thought Burton would be this season. Burton remains undaunted. “I’m extremely confident that we can dig ourselves out of the hole and get ourselves in the position we need to be in,” Burton said. Talladega is a good place to get things moving in the right direction. Burton expects to be in the mix Sunday — if he’s not in an accident. “I feel like we have really fast restrictor-plate cars. We have had plenty of speed,” Burton said. “Unfortunately, I think we have, maybe in almost every restrictor-plate race last year, we ended up in a wreck. But going into Talladega, what we are thinking about is getting to the end of the race. We have had the speed, we have led the laps. “We have done the things we needed to do, but we just hadn’t finished races. I think it’s about putting ourselves in the right position and getting to the end of the race and seeing if we can make it happen on the last lap.” It could be the turn he needs.

NBA FROM 1B lace, a deal that netted two first-round picks and opened salary-cap space. “We don’t have to sit on our hands this summer,” Jordan said. Mavericks 121, Hornets 89 DALLAS — Dirk Nowitzki scored 12 of his 32 points in the decisive third quarter, leading Dallas past New Orleans in the regularseason finale — and leaving both teams waiting a few hours for their playoff seed and firstround foe to be determined. Dallas will be seeded second or third in the Western Conference, depending on whether the Lakers beat the Kings later Wednesday. Los Angeles would be No. 2 if it wins. Bulls 97, Nets 92 CHICAGO — Kyle Korver scored 19 points, Derrick Rose added 15 and the Chicago Bulls closed the regular season with their ninth straight victory, beating the New Jersey Nets 97-92 on Wednesday. Heat 97, Raptors 79 TORONTO — Eddie House scored a careerhigh 35 points, Juwan Howard added 18 and the Miami Heat beat the Toronto Raptors 9779 on Wednesday night in the regular-season finale. Celtics 112, Knicks 102 BOSTON — Avery Bradley scored a careerhigh 20 points to help Boston's "B" team beat New York's second string in a regular-season

GOLF ATLANTA— Three-time major champion Larry Nelson, who didn't take up golf until he returned from the Vietnam War, will receive the PGA Distinguished Service Award. Nelson, a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame, will be honored Aug. 10 during the PGA Championship. It's being played at Atlanta Athletic Club, where 30 years ago Nelson won his first major at the PGA. What made Nelson such an inspiration was his late start in the game. He spent two years in Vietnam with the Army, and didn't start playing golf until he was out of the service.

KEVIN HARVICK BAYNE GETS SPONSOR CHARLOTTE — Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne landed the sponsorship he needed to enter the Sprint All-Star Race next month at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The 20-year-old Bayne became the youngest Daytona 500 winner in race history when he won the season-opener. It earned him an automatic berth in the All-Star race, but Wood Brothers Racing didn't have sponsorship to put Bayne in the $1 million race. Good Sam Club, a sister company of Camping World, signed on Tuesday to sponsor Bayne in both the May 21 All-Star race and this Sunday's event at Talladega Superspeedway. "You never give up in this business until it's time to load the car and you can't go," said team co-owner Eddie Wood.

The senior was hurt during the Tar Heels’ annual spring game last weekend. The school says it will update Houston’s status after Thursday’s surgery. Houston didn’t play last season. He missed the first five games amid the NCAA investigation into agent-related benefits and possible academic misconduct before he was cleared to return, but he decided to redshirt. Houston had been the finisher at the goal line for the Tar Heels, rushing for 17 touchdowns in 2008 and 2009. N.C.

Greene led the Wolfpack in rushing as a freshman in 2010 with 597 yards and four touchdowns. He was injured last Saturday. Team spokeswoman Annabelle Myers said Greene is expected to recover in time for the state of preseason practice. The Wolfpack holds its annual spring game on Saturday. INGRAM HIGHWAY LANSING, Mich. — The Michigan Senate has approved naming a stretch of state highway for former Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram.

SMITH DIES WEST POINT, N.Y. — Former Army head coach Homer Smith, regarded as one of keenest offensive minds in the annals of college football, has died. He was 79. Smith was an assistant at several schools in his 39-year career, never staying long enough at any one place to put down roots. He coached at Stanford, Air Force, Alabama, Arizona, the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs, and served three stints as offensive coordinator at UCLA. While with the Bruins, Smith developed seven future NFL quarterbacks, including Tommy Maddox, Jay Schroeder, and current UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel. Smith also was head coach at Davidson and Pacific.

HAMILTON FROM 1B “It’s an aggressive play that we tried to do and it didn’t work. That took us a long way last year — a lot of those plays that we did. That’s part of our game,” Anderson said. “If he doesn’t get hurt, then we’re not even talking about this right now. He’s out at home plate, we go back out. ... My job at third base is two things: Make sure they get the signs, and try to score as many runs as we can possibly score.” A few hours later, Hamilton clarified his initial comments. “I wasn’t calling him stupid or anything like that. It was just the play itself and coming out injured,” Hamilton said. “I could have made the play and then not gotten hurt, and it would have been a great play, but it didn’t work out that way.”

ROWAN COUNTY BOYS TRACK MEET

SHAW FROM 1C

South Rowan’s Michael York leads Salisbury’s Philip Tonseth and East’s Cole Honeycutt in the 1600. York won the event with Honeycutt finishing second.

North Rowan senior Sam Starks won the triple jump. wayne hinshaw/SALISBURY POST

Salisbury’s Darien Rankin agonizes after failing to break the county mark in the high jump.

BOYS FROM 1C events MVP, in the long jump (21-7) and high jump (6-6). North’s Sam Starks, already a 1A state champion on the hardwood, took his second consecutive triple-jump title (44-10). Starks and Oglesby traded firsts in several events, but no petty qualms were invoked. It only equaled a title for the Cavs.

“It’s like when you’re a little kid and you want to be the strongest and fastest in everything,” Starks said. “It’s the same way with us. We try to have fun with it.” Oglesby was an inch short in the triple jump, finishing second to Starks. Starks and Titus King finished 2-3 behind Oglesby in the 110 hurdles. Demiah Hawkins was runner up to Oglesby, a transfer from Lexington, in the 300 hurdles. “Sam and Johnny are real competitive,” said North coach Robert Steele, in his 26th year with the Cavaliers. “But the good thing about it,

even though they’re in the same events, they’re great teammates. There’s no envy or jealously.” Rankin was disappointed after not clearing 6-8 in three tries in the high jump, but took solace in the several meets left in his career. “I think I could have done it in my sleep,” Rankin said. “I practiced and practiced, but it wasn’t my day.” Sam Sherman boosted East in the shot put despite three scratches. Sherman’s top toss of 53-41⁄2 missed his personal best of 55-9 thrown last week at South Rowan, but it was good enough for first place.

“There’s so many miniscule things that you can do wrong to effect your throw,” Sherman said. “It’s just one of those days, but you’ve got to bounce back.” The Mustangs took first by eight seconds in the 4x400 (3:29), while West won the 4x200 (1:31) and 4x100 (43.27). South Rowan’s 4x800 relay broke a county record with an 8:18 finish in the third straight title. Michael York, the final leg of the relay, was distance MVP after capturing the 1600 (4:32) and 3200 (10:22). York led for nearly the duration of both races. “It’s great to come out here and win county titles in such a hard county to race in,” said the Lenoir-Rhyne signee. “It’s an honor.”

triple-jump with a leap of 44 feet, 10 inches — impressive indeed, but a mark that pales compared to the 47-0 he jumped a week ago. And while he stood out for sporting colorful hosiery — he called them “crazy socks” — Starks was quick to credit the Cavaliers’ revered coaching staff, a group that includes the legendary Robert Steele and six-time All-American Mark Sturgis, a volunteer assistant. “ We’re surrounded by greatness,” he proclaimed. “We work with the greatest coaches ever.” • History supports those statements. North has been a perennial winner in these parts and is favored to capture the 1A state championship later this spring. “There’s a reason,” Starks said. “It’s a continuous schedule. We practice all the time. We practice when it’s 30 degrees. We practice on Sundays. It’s go to school, eat, practice. Go to church, eat, practice. Coach Steele demands nothing less than our best. You hear that from the best coach in the nation and you want to respond for him.” Steele is a proud man, proudest that he has opened doors for dozens of young athletes. “We’ve gotten millions of dollars in scholarships over the last 25, 26 years,” he said. “That tells you something.” • It tells you there’s a method to his madness. Same goes for Sturgis, the 2004 North graduate who holds Starks and junior teammate Johnny Oglesby in high regard. “I took (Starks) under my wing last year,” Sturgis said. “He reminds me of Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan. He wants to be the best at everything, even if he doesn’t know how to do it. You can always use more of that.” Then there’s Oglesby, a transfer from Lexington and the county’s star-inwaiting, whether he believes it or not. He placed second in the triple-jump and long-jump — earning this critique from Sturgis: “He’s a technician who seems like he does everything right. He just needs to apply more aggression to his form. Then he’ll be flawless.” • Fitting words to conclude a day when few individuals were perfect. Even Rankin — a muscular, ’69 Chevelle in red & black — who wore the look of a beaten fighter. “I like it this way,” he said. “It’s really not a bad day. I’ve just got to keep my confidence up and bring everything I have to the state meet.” Where, of course, anything is possible.

She’s always been a hard worker and been very dedicated.” Ramos won the 100 hurdles (14:64), long jump (17-2), triple jump (36-4) and 300 hurdles (46.2). Alisha Bradshaw, the meet’s field MVP, threw 41-4, more than 10 feet ahead of the competition. Her 134-6 toss in the discus was even more dominating, out-throwing everyone else by more than 30 feet. Salisbury’s Katherine Shields won the 1600 (5:35) and 3200 (12:51) to capture distance MVP. Her 1600 times was 10 seconds short of a personal best. “Today, since I was by myself in front, I had to focus on pushing myself,” Shields said. “I had gone so hard in the mile that I was so tired by the two-mile.” Katherine’s sister Emily won 800 run in 2:26, edging out Carson’s Sierra Zemanick by two seconds. North Rowan pulled away with winning the 4x100 (Tameisha Allen, Christen Jones, Teaunna Cuthbertson,

Jones reaches milestone ATLANTA (AP) — Chipper Jones hit his first homer of the season in the ninth inning on Wednesday night, giving the Braves’ switch-hitter 1,500 RBIs for his career. The homer off Randy Choate ended Florida’s shutout bid after Josh Johnson carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning. With his home run, Jones became only the third switchhitter with 1,500 RBIs, joining Eddie Murray (1,917) and Mickey Mantle (1,509). Jones reached his second significant career milestone of the opening homestand after he had two hits Friday night to reach 2,500. Murray is the only other switch-hitter with at least 2,500 hits and 1,500 RBIs.  NEW YORK (AP) — Mets pitcher Chris Young has tendinitis in his surgically repaired arm and his next scheduled start has been pushed back two days until Sunday. New York plans to bring D.J. Carrasco out of the bullpen for a spot start in Atlanta on Friday night, when Young originally was slated to pitch. Now he’s penciled in for the series finale against the Braves. The Mets said Young has biceps tendinitis, but no medical tests were planned. The 6-foot-10 right-hander, slowed by arm injuries throughout his career, said he’s not too concerned and he thinks a little extra rest should take care of the problem. “We talked about it and it’s I think a chance to nip it in the bud and knock it out,” Young said Wednesday. “The improvement over the last two days has been great.”

Tigers rally again to beat Rangers Associated Press

DETROIT — Brandon Inge hit a solo homer in the bottom of the ninth and the Detroit Tigers beat the Texas Rangers in their last at-bat for the second straight day, 3-2 on Wednesday. With one out, Inge hit the first pitch from Darren Oliver (1-1) over the left-field wall. Jose Valverde (2-0) pitched a scoreless top of the ninth for the Tigers. Spot starter Dave Bush made it through three scoreless innings, although he allowed three hits and three walks and threw 71 pitches. Detroit starter Max Scherzer went six innings, allowing two runs and seven hits. He struck out seven and walked two. Yankees 7, Orioles 4 NEW YORK (AP) — A.J. Burnett remained undefeated in April with the Yankees, pitching effectively into the seventh inning, and Alex Rodriguez hit a three-run homer. Robinson Cano added a two-run double and Jorge Posada homered for the Yankees, who moved into a tie atop the AL East with the Orioles. Baltimore lost its third in a row. Derek Jeter matched Barry Bonds for 32nd on the all-time hits list with 2,935 on the day the former slugger was convicted in a San Francisco courtroom of obstruction of justice. Matt Wieters and Brian Roberts each hit two-run homers in the seventh. Athletics 7, White Sox 4 CHICAGO — Oakland scored three times in the ninth inning, then Coco Crisp hit a go-ahead single in a three-run 10th as the Athletics feasted on Chicago’s shaky bullpen. Crisp entered the game in the ninth as a pinch-runner and was in a 3-for-22 slump before singling off Matt Thornton (0-2).

Freeman doubled down the line past third baseman Greg Dobbs. Marlins manager Edwin Rodriguez immediately went out to pull his ace after 109 pitches.

WASHINGTON — At his dominant best until a shaky ninth inning, Roy Halladay held on to throw his first complete game of 2011, leading the Philadelphia Phillies past the Washington Nationals 3-2 Wednesday night. Through eight shutout innings, Halladay (2-0) allowed only a pair of singles by Adam LaRoche. In the ninth, Halladay allowed four hits, including RBI singles by Laynce Nix and Danny Espinosa. But with two on, the two-time Cy Young winner ended it with six straight strikes to fan pinch-hitter Matt Stairs and Ivan Rodriguez, who argued the game-ending call at length. Halladay had nine strikeouts and two walks. Rockies 5, Mets 4 NEW YORK— Troy Tulowitzki hit a go-ahead homer through thick fog to help Colorado continue the best start in club history.

Chipper Jones homered in the ninth off Randy Choate for the Braves’ only other hit. The home run gave Jones 1,500 RBIs for his career. Chris Coghlan had three hits, including a two-run single in a three-run second. Johnson contributed an RBI single and Logan Morrison hit his third homer. Brewers 6, Pirates 0 PITTSBURGH — Shaun Marcum pitched seven shutout innings, and Prince Fielder homered for the third time in four games to help Milwaukee win its sixth in seven games. Marcum (2-1) was perfect through four and kept the Pirates off-balance with his changeup, allowing only four singles with four strikeouts and a walk. Acquired in an offseason trade with Toronto to bolster Milwaukee’s rotation, Marcum lowered his ERA to 2.55 through three starts. Zach Braddock, Kameron Loe and Mitch Stetter finished

up Milwaukee’s third shutout this season and second in three games. The Pirates have lost four of five at home after beginning the season by winning consecutive road series for the first time since 2007. Padres 3, Reds 2 SAN DIEGO— Orlando Hudson hit a bases-loaded, oppositefield single with two outs in the ninth inning to help San Diego avoid a three-game sweep. Hudson hit the first pitch he saw from Nick Masset (0-3) over third baseman Juan Francisco’s head and into left field. With the score tied at 2, pinch-hitter Brad Hawpe started the rally with a one-out walk before advancing to third on Nick Hundley’s hit-and-run single to right. Will Venable was intentionally walked to get to Jason Bartlett, who was hitting just .133. Bartlett grounded to third baseman Juan Francisco, who threw to home for the force.

Salisbury Post

Salisbury Symphony presents ‘Fantasy’ Saturday The theme for the Salisbury Symphony’s upcoming concert on Saturday, April 16, is “Fantasy.” The concert is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. in Keppel Auditorium at Catawba College. Ticket prices are $20 for adults, $6 for students, and $4 for children 8 years and younger. The concert will begin with a birthday tribute to Franz Liszt with Preludes, followed by pianist Teresa Walters performing Liszt’s Hungarian Fantasy, folk-like melodies that evoke music performed by Gypsy bands. Teresa Walters is known worldwide as “the International First Lady of Piano” and is the first American pianist invited by Hungary to perform recitals honoring the 200th anniversary of Liszt’s birthday. She has performed all over the world, and her Lincoln Center recital in New York was sold out and won a standing ovation. After intermission, “feel” the lush beauty of Vaughan Williams’ Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis. Conductor David Hagy will have some members of the strings section play from the balcony so that the audience experiences it in “surround-sound.” The program ends with a finale of the well-loved Appalachian Spring by Aaron Copland. Prior to the concert, the Salisbury Symphony Guild will be holding the “Basket Bonanza” fundraiser.

SALISBURY — Carolina Baroque will present its final concert of the season in the chapel of St. John’s Lutheran Church on Friday at 7:30 p.m. Titled “Handel and Salisbury,” the concert will be of special interest to musiclovers in Salisbury and Rowan County. Salisbury, cathedral city in Wiltshire, was one of the most flourishing provincial centers of musical activity in 18th century England. Regular subscription concerts were established in the 1730s with meetings throughout the year. James Harris promoted Handel's music and entertained the composer in his Salisbury home, Malmesbury House (which one can visit today) in 1739. The Carolina Baroque program will include a variety of Handel's music performed in Salisbury in the 18th century. Works for soprano solo include “Hush, hush, you pretty warbling quire” from Acis and Galatea, “Softly sweet in Lydian measures” from Alexander’s Feast, “Mirth, admit me of thy crew” from L’Allegro, il Penseroso ed it Moderato, “Father of Heav’n” from Judas Maccabaeus, “Will the sun for-
