Weekend tornado damaged 28 structures
Nose for moonshine When it comes to liquor stills, deputies call in a pro
BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com
Rowan County Emergency Management Division Coordinator Frank Thomason said he does not expect the state’s disaster assessment team to visit Rowan County this week, as the majority of properties damaged were insured. Only one home was uninsured, the home of Leonard Smith on Beck Road. “We don’t know right now if the governor’s declaration is going to cover anything,” Thomason said. “We probably won’t know that for a while.” Power was restored to nearly every home in Farrington Meadows subdivision off of Old Mocksville Road Sunday night, and Thomason said residents continue to clean up their neighborhood, sawing and removing trees from their roads, yards and homes. Structural damage is to blame for the few homes that remain without power. Thomason gave a storm damage report to the Rowan County Board of Commissioners Monday evening, with the following statistics on Saturday’s storm: • 28 affected structures in both U.S. 601 and Old Mocksville Road locations. • 21 structures suffered minor damages

David Graham Jr. is a moonshine man. At 89, Graham, the former chief of the Rowan County ABC Law Enforcement Unit, made a trip to the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office Friday to see the latest liquor still — the 451st he’s seen. Once there, he was handed a mason jar filled with an amber liquor. He shook the jar and stared at the bubbles forming at the top. “It’s about 90 proof,” he said, without a doubt, to Detective Chad Moose. “The longer the beads, the higher the proof.” He watched the bubbles for a bit longer, and shook the jar again. Then he twisted off the lid, dipped his index finger into the jar and had a taste. “Yep,” he said, nodding his head in agreement with his initial assessment. Graham stayed at the office for hours Friday morning, offering tips and telling bootlegging tales from his 40 years chasing moonshine across several counties.

’Shiner with a shotgun On Nov. 17, 1960, ATU (now ATF) Agent Bob Martin invited Graham and a Davidson County deputy to “raid a little still,” in Davidson County, Graham said. So they went, and watched for a while. “Everyone took a position around the still,” he said. “It wasn’t an hour until this fellow came in with his dog and he had a shotgun. And he was checking the

Then we had to close in on it.” Graham said the bootlegger, James Shirley, started running, and Martin, with pistol in hand,
ordered Shirley to stop. Shirley “turned around and shot (Martin’s) right forefinger, and part of his thumb,” Graham said. “His thumb was just dangling.” Graham then used the shirt off
his back to make a tourniquet for Martin, picked him up, carried him to the car and took him to the hospital. “He was bleeding pretty bad,”

Moonshine, marijuana found in home search BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — When investigators with the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office searched the home of a Salisbury man, they expected to find moonshine. They weren’t expecting to discover a room filled with an advanced indoor hydroponic marijuana grow operation. Detectives went to the home of Perry Lee Propst, 1221 Hat Creek Road on April 14 to serve a search warrant after receiving
reports from the Kannapolis Police Department that Propst was selling moonshine. During the search, detectives found four quarts of non- PROPST tax-paid white liquor, a functional stainless steel liquor still, 10 gallons of “mash,” and pounds of sugar, yeast and mason jars. Wood chips were also found, and used
to “age” the moonshine, giving it an amber color. The “sophisticated” marijuana operation, authorities said, was home to numerous grow lights with two timers, a charcoal filtered watering system and 14 marijuana plants growing with three already harvested. Authorities also seized two handguns and two SKS rifles. Propst, 34, was charged with felony possession with intent to sell or deliver marijuana, felony manufacturing marijuana, felony maintaining a dwelling,
misdemeanor manufacturing non-tax-paid white liquor, misdemeanor possession of non-taxpaid liquor and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. Propst received a $1,500 bond. Detective Chad Moose said this is the third moonshine still he’s seen since he’s been a detective with the sheriff’s office. The last was in September, and involved a similar indoor operation. He first saw a still in November of 2009, and was also indoors.
21 dead, 800 homes damaged, thousands remain homeless RALEIGH (AP) — The vicious storm system that killed at least 21 people in North Carolina also damaged or destroyed at least 800 homes and left thousands facing the possibility of a third night in the dark. Monetary estimates statewide from the damage caused by the storm Saturday weren’t available other than in Bertie County, where officials estimated property damage at $2.5 million, not including infrastructure damage and the loss of cropland. People who survived are grateful, but the reality of recovery is hitting them. “I’m overwhelmed,” said Cecilia Zuvic, 34, whose home in downtown Raleigh suffered extensive damage. “I have no scratches, nothing happened to me. But I have a mess ahead of me, a lot of cleanup.” Preliminary estimates show about 130 homes were destroyed and another 700 damaged in the storm, said North Carolina public safety spokeswoman Julia Jarema. Teams are to spend much of this week assessing damage across the eastern half of the state, she said. Progress Energy reported about 23,000

New proposal to reform state annexation law gains momentum BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
As one annexation reform bill seems to have been stalled in the North Carolina House, another is gaining momentum. Rep. Harry Warren, R-Rowan, is a primary sponsor of House Bill 531, which would allow residents in an area to resist annexation with a majority vote. But that bill has been abandoned by two of its original sponsors for a new WARREN one with broader support. To stop an annexation under House Bill 845, 60 percent of the
[|xbIAHD y0 0 1rzu
area’s property owners must sign a petition. After a successful petition, a municipality would be prohibited from attempting to annex the area for at least two years. House Bill 845 was filed by Rep. Stephen LaRoque, a Republican representing Greene, Lenior and Wayne counties who also sponsored the previous bill. It is incomplete in its current form, but a proposed committee substitute dated last Tuesday details the petition requirements. The bill is scheduled to be heard in committee today. Warren said lawmakers decided to back the bill most likely to get Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue’s signature. “We need to be sure to craft legislation that isn’t going to get a veto

because it’s so partisan,” Warren said. “Larry’s bill was written from the standpoint of the people to be annexed.” He said it’s important that meaningful annexation reform is passed, no matter which bill contains it. “If the process is good for the city, it needs to be good for the people who are annexed as well, and they need to have voice in it,” Warren said. “Involuntary annexation all too often is not utilized for the good of the people annexed.” LaRoque’s bill says that municipalities must provide water and sewer services to annexed areas within three and a half years of the annexation. A municipality can charge property owners for water and sewer line connections, but if more than 50 percent request them, it must pro-

vide connections to everyone in the area at no cost. Warren said the N.C. League of Municipalities has been more accepting of the new bill than House Bill 531, filed by Rep. Larry Brown, R-Wake. “The (LaRoque) bill is extremely restrictive but, if it is not further changed, it is likely better than an extended (unending?) moratorium that would of course allow for no annexations at all,” the league said in an email newsletter. A two-year moratorium on involuntary annexations has been passed by the Senate and awaits approval in the House. Jeff Matthews, president of antiannexation group Good Neighbors of Rowan County, said local residents have made several trips to

Raleigh seeking dialogue with lawmakers. He said his group endorses Brown’s bill, which embodies “where reform needs to go in North Carolina,” but it is willing to accept alternatives. “We’re open-minded people, and all we want is a place at the table and fair shake,” Matthews said. “No one could make the argument that the current statute does that in an equitable way.” Good Neighbors originally formed to fight Salisbury’s proposed annexation of an area along N.C. 150. The city’s effort was put on hold, and the group has now joined other involuntary annexation opponents across North Carolina in working with legislators to change state law.

SALISBURY POST
AREA/CONTINUED
Tornado brings back memories of wind, a tree and a broken roof I
feel your pain — I really do. The violent storms of April 16 that pummeled Rowan County and eastern North Carolina cut a path of destruction just like Maj. Gen. Sherman marching through the South during the Civil War. Millions of dollars of damage and the loss of life. Fortunately, the Rowan County damage, as bad as it was, included no deaths locally. Personal property can be replaced, not so with people. As the winds blew that Saturday and my trees MIKE bent almost to CLINE the point of no return, I was thinking back to the April Monday morning, almost four years to the day. My daughter reminded me that the horrible shootings at Virginia Tech took place on this day. It was a beautiful spring morning — bright blue sky, birds singing, the whole nine yards. But it had poured rain all through the weekend, so the ground was as mushy as guacamole. About 10 a.m., the wind started to whip up, but not anywhere to the degree as the recent Saturday. I was downstairs at the computer, as I am now, when I heard a loud whoosh. Not an explosion or an alarming noise, just a whoosh. Wondering what I had heard, I got up and walked to the back door, and all I could see were fully leafed branches against the back door. “What the heck” I thought, so I ran upstairs and when I turned the corner, I was greeted by yet another branch, inside the kitchen. I made my way around the intruder to dis-
cover a humongous oak tree had crashed through our sunroom and was resting on the kitchen table. I couldn’t see much else from this angle because there were branches and limbs everywhere. It may not sound like such a big deal to have a tree hit a sunroom, but our sunroom was 50 feet long, the entire length of our house. When I got to the back yard and saw the damage, all but the last 8 feet of the sunroom were gone. What hadn’t been crushed by the mighty oak had exploded into the back yard. And to make matters worse, our two cars were parked under the sunroom, so they were damaged as well. Having no prior experience in dealing with such an issue, I stopped for a moment to gather my thoughts. Better call the insurance company first. Being that my sister-in-law is also my insurance agent, the call went well. Adjusters were on the scene the next morning. I then made a barrage of calls to every reputable tree business in the area. The first one that called me back got the job. He and his crew were on the scene within two hours. Sis-in-law said to take plenty of photos. Of course, there I am without a camera (I have since purchased one), so good neighbor and baseball phenom Brian Hatley provided me with many Kodak moments. The first issue of business was to clear the tree and debris off the cars so they could be moved. Both turned out to be driveable, but damaged. The tree crew worked until dark, doing what they do, but had to return the next morning to finish up. I was told by the expert that the oak tree was 75 to 80 years old, totally healthy, but just couldn’t handle the wet
ground and winds. The area, at the point of the uprooting, measured 12 feet in diameter. Once the tree was removed, we discovered some good fortune, that the floor of the room had been spared. The roof and kitchen table were to thank for that. All of the furnishings in the closest third of the room nearest the initial impact were destroyed, the middle section furnishings were damaged, but repairable, and the third furthest from the impact were just filthy, needing cleaning. After the tree people left, the cleanup began, removing all the chunks of the 6-by-6 windows, roof, walls, and so on, mostly now in the back yard. Glass pieces, large and small, were everywhere. Every piece of glass we could see was picked up, but there’s still glass out there, so going barefoot in the back yard is a forever no-no. Whatever civilization occupies my property five hundred years into the future, the people will be saying, “Why are all these little pieces of glass here?” Things then fell into place in an order of priority leading to replacing the room. The entire process took about two months before we had the sunroom back. It was a long two months. Lots of phone calls, lots of emails, lots of coordinating everything and everybody. Sadly, many local folks are dealing with the same issues now, and I truly feel for you. A phrase we always use and always hear in situations such as this is, “It could have been a lot worse.” And that is usually very true. Certainly, in my case. If Mother Nature had dropped the mighty oak 10 minutes earlier that April morning, my then-87-year-old mother, who was at the kitchen table, would have been just like the toast she was eating for
breakfast. But she wasn’t. She had come downstairs. My dogs, who were in the fenced-in area where the tree once stood, were not in the tree’s path. No injuries or worse. Just replaceable stuff. We were also fortunate that the tree did not cause any damage to the main part of our house. The oak dropped in a straight line and literally shaved the sunroom off the back of our house, as smoothly as barber Walt Shoaf’s straight razor. I remain grateful to the nice people who came to my aid that day: the tree people, my friend Brian and his camera, my friend Bruce who brought sheets of plywood to cover up the doorway from our kitchen to the destroyed sunroom. I thank you again. It often seems as if I am always paying some sort of insurance premium, be it medical, automobile, homeowners, whatever. The April morning of four years ago made me thankful that I had paid my homeowner’s insurance premium, and that I had insurance coverage. I know some dealing with their current crisis do not. It isn’t my business to know why they might not have coverage. But I have always told my kids that even if you have to eat Spam and beans five days a week to sustain, make sure you are insured. For some, it’s probably too late, at least, for now. I hope you get another chance. And, for whatever reason, if you ever find yourself in my back yard, don’t forget to wear your shoes.

ANNEX FRom 1a Vice President Carl Eagle said the local group’s main goal is to protect the N.C. 150 area, but it also wants to see other groups get what they want. very much “We prefer (the Brown bill), but we don’t intend to split the movement,” Eagle said. “We don’t have any question that we can get 60 percent to protest.” LaRoque’s bill does not include a requirement for county commissioners to approve any proposed annexation, as Brown’s bill did. Rowan County Commissioner Chad Mitchell said that wouldn’t be as beneficial as giving residents themselves a voice. “I think the key to it ... is that the citizens of an affected annexation area have the opportunity to vote,” Mitchell said. “I’m just glad it looks like some of what I consider meaningful annexation reform will occur in
this session.” The city of Salisbury has no formal position on annexation, said Mayor Susan Kluttz, but the city learned from “a very difficult annexation attempt,” referring the N.C. 150 annexation, and that current law needs to change. The N.C. 150 annexation was blocked after so many residents signed up for costly water and sewer services that the annexation became too expensive for the city to proceed. Kluttz said she has confidence that legislators will reach a compromise that helps both city and county residents. “I think it would make it difficult for the city to grow if you give people the choice to pay one amount or double that amount,” Kluttz said. “People in the city have to pay for a lot of county services they don’t use. ... There are two sides of it, and I’m hopeful that the people who make this decision weigh both sides of it and come up with a solution that’s fair to everyone.” Contact reporter Karissa Minn at 704-797-4222.

School board votes to revise medication policy in schools BY SARAH CAMPBELL
B Y J OANIE M ORRIS For the Salisbury Post

KANNAPOLIS — Bill Austin sprays disinfectant on a table, wipes it down and looks up and smiles. Since he was fresh out of high school, he’s been wiping tables as part of a crew at McDonald’s. “It’s the only full-time job I’ve ever had” since starting at a Charlotte McDonald’s in June 1960, Austin says. After being with the famous fast-food company for half a century, though, Austin has gained a few responsibilities besides cleaning tables. He now owns and operates five McDonald’s restaurants — three in Salisbury, one in Kannapolis and one in Rockwell. And he wants people to know working at McDonald’s doesn’t have to be just a “McJob.” It can be a career. That’s also the word from McDonald’s Corp. as the company holds its first national “hiring day” today to fill 50,000 openings at restaurants nationwide. At a similar event in its western region last year, more than 60,000 people applied for 13,000 positions. The company, based in Oak Brook, Ill., says it is making a concerted effort to add staff as business improves and more of its restaurants stay open 24 hours a day. Crew members and management are being hired for both full- and part-time positions and the company’s hiring goal translates to between three and four new hires per restaurant. About half of the company’s franchisees — such as Austin — and more than 75 percent of its managers started as store workers. The company hopes to also shed the negative connotation of employment at the fast-food chain, once dubbed “McJobs.” “A McJob is one with career growth and endless possibilities,” the company said in a statement. Austin agrees. As a young man living in Monroe, he was looking for work out of high school and landed at the local mill. But Austin couldn’t stand working in a blanket of snow-like cotton every day. That’s when his brother-in-
SALISBURY — The Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education voted Monday to take steps to align the district’s medication policy with state statute and recommendations from the N.C. Department of Public Instruction. Dr. Walter Hart, assistant superintendent of adminstration, outlined the proposed changes to the board. “This past winter we participated in an audit through the Department of Public Instruction and the nursing consultant who worked with us made some suggested changes to our policy,” he said. Hart said the first change would require authorization from a health care provider and a parent before any prescription or over-the-counter medication is administered to students. “It’s a stricter interpretation of the statute than we have now,” he said. “Our current policy allows for parent authorization only.” Hart told board members that the original prescription bottle with the student’s name, dosage information and physician information would be accepted as a form of authorization by a health care provider. Another revision would not allow staff to supply any medication. “The only medication that staff can provide now is a topical gel used in the case of a bee sting, but we’ve been advised that even that could be problematic,” Hart said. The final change would allow high school students to carry and self-administer a one-day supply of overthe-counter medicine such as cold medicine and ibuprofen. The current policy doesn’t allow students to be in possession of over-the-counter drugs in any manner. “We believe that high schools kids have legitimate needs for things like Tylenol and Advil,” Hart said. The board also approved several changes to the district’s personnel policies.

Civics students from Salisbury High School share a laugh with U.S. Rep. Mel Watt as he goes through letters they sent him.
SALISBURY — When Jason Adkins asked his civics classes at Salisbury High School to write letters to their legislators he expected a return letter or maybe even a phone call. Instead, U.S. Rep. Mel Watt, D-NC, volunteered to come speak his students. “I wanted them to know that the government is there to help them and it could be just a letter or a phone call away,” Adkins said. “One of the problems with society is that people feel disconnected to the federal government and Rep. Watt is here to bridge that gap today.” Adkins said he began the assignment with his students last semester as a way to facilitate the connection between people and government. “We are trying to get the kids thinking about the world around them,” he said. Watt kicked off his visit to Salisbury High by giving students an idea about how government works, explaining how the House of Representatives and Senate

SALISBURY — County commissioners approved a lease Monday that will bring a skydiving operation to the Rowan County Airport, as long as the operators agree to begin to pay a fee earlier. The operator, Jim Laningham, originally planned to have an aircraft flown in on weekends to accommodate skydiving. According to Rowan County Airport Director Thad Howell, he now would prefer to base and hangar the aircraft at Rowan County Airport. He requested that the $250 per month for rent be paid in lieu of the drop zone fee. The county agreed, but Commissioner Jim Sides moved that the lease be changed so that Piedmont Skydiving LLC (formerly Skydive Rowan) begins paying a $1 fee per jump to the county during the first year rather than the second. “This is to compensate us for dropping the drop zone fee, which is $100 a month,” Sides said. Commissioner Raymond Coltrain asked if this would be bad for the business. Chairman Chad Mitchell replied that if the company wants to negotiate terms, it will have to bring those back to the county. The lease was approved unanimously with Sides’ change. In other news, the Rowan County Board of Commissioners approved a contract Monday to provide planning and zoning services for China Grove. The contract now must be approved by the China Grove Town Council. County staff would provide administrative planning functions,enforcement activities and inspections within the town and its extraterritorial jurisdiction for $1,500 per month. In a memo to county commissioners, County Planning Director Ed Muire wrote that the town manager asked the county Planning and Development Department if it could provide services to China Grove. “Staff is of the opinion that addition of these duties can be successfully administered by current staff while also creating an additional revenue source,” Muire wrote. “This additional revenue, combined with other departmental budget cuts for (fiscal year) 2011-12, will remove the need to eliminate a position within the department.” At Monday’s meeting, commissioners also: • Set the public hearing for the county’s 201112 budget on See SKYDIVING, 6A

He said that in his more than 20 years in politics he’s learned a valuable lesson — he’s not going to get his way. “Patience and compromise, finding where that middle ground is where people are equally happy or equally unhappy with the result that you’ve reached I think has become most important to me over time.”
Talking about the issues Watt spent the afternoon answering students’ questions about topics ranging from the environment to education. He explained how the federal government has set standards to drive the automobile industry to make cars more efficient. Watt also said the government fund public transportation such as busses, subways and high-speed rail systems as a green initiative. “The more we encourage people to leave their cars at home and take the bus, the less impact there is on the environment from the exhaust,” Watt said. Watt said there have also been steps taken to encourage people to make their homes and businesses more efficient. He mentioned low-income energy assistance programs and tax credits for those who install more energy efficient appliances. “We’re trying to push people toward efficient use of energy sources so that it has less of an adverse impact on the environment.” One student asked how raising taxes can benefit her. Watt explained the only means of income a government has is through taxes. He said the only way the government can build roads, offer Pell grants for students to go to college and provide health care for senior citizens is through taxes. “Just like in your own personal budget you can’t set a budget just based on just what you spend ... you have to have some income coming from somewhere,” he said. “The question is not
ARCHES FROM 3a Within six months, he had been promoted to the management team. By 1963, he was a store manager. After working his way through the management levels within the company, Austin became an owner-operator in 1993, taking over the three restaurants in Salisbury and one in Kannapolis. Austin admits the image of a burger-flipping job for high schoolers or “McJob” does tend to follow McDonald’s, but he defends the positions in his company as career opportunities. Most of his employees will agree. Nicole Booth, the store manager in Kannapolis at only 24, has been working for the company for nine years. With a cheerful smile and helpful attitude, she has quickly worked her way up through the ranks. As store manager, by going through the management training program offered by McDonald’s, she’s already achieved college credits that will transfer to any accredited institution. Mary Eller, a supervisor at the store in Kannapolis, has been with the company since 1987 and can’t imagine being anywhere else. “I like coming to work,” she says. “Every day is different.” Kevin Kluttz, assistant manager at the store in Kannapolis and a member of the McDonald’s crew for 37 years, agrees. “I like the people I work with,” he says. “It’s been a great job.” Every employee who comes to work at McDonald’s has something in common, says Austin. They are available and personable. At the job events nationwide today, Austin said, store managers will look at the potential hire’s appearance — cleanliness and professionalism is a must — and availability to work a flexible
Getting personal When one student asked Watt if he had his own body guards, he laughed and said no. “I don’t have a driver or chauffeur, I don’t have a limousine, I don’t have a security person,” he said. “It’s just me.” Another student asked Watt how he balanced his personal ideology with the viewpoints of his constituents. “I think I represent my own views and the people I serve,” he said. “I think the great majority of the people I serve know that I will analyze the issue that comes before me and I will find the right answer.” Watt said the ultimate question comes down to “do you lead your constituents or do they lead you.” “There is no way for me to know what every citizen would like me to do,” he said. “You’ve got a decision to make and you’ve got to do what you think is right for the people you are representing.” Contact reporter Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.
schedule. Full- and parttime positions will be filled. Each McDonald’s is run on a service standard that includes quality, service, cleanliness and values. When looking for potential employees, Austin says, they look for much the same. “We’ve got some good people,” says Austin, “but we’re hoping to pick up a lot more.” Depending on the quality of potential hires, Austin says his stores may hire as many as 10 to 15 people per store. And while someone with no experience in the restaurant industry may start at the current $7.25 hourly minimum wage, no employee ever really starts that low when you calculate that the company provides uniforms and Austin feeds his employees free of charge each day they work. He also offers extra money through contests to help motivate his employees. Along with being a caring owner-operator — most of his employees can attest to his compassion at one point or another — Austin says considers employees part of his family. “A lot of companies, you’re a number,” he says. “Here, you’re a person.” And he’s never too good to do what they do every day. “Every day, I bag french fries,” says Austin. “I sweep floors. I make hamburgers. … Whatever it takes to make the stores presentable to my customers. “You have to be able to do that” as a new hire, says Austin. “You can never set yourself above that. If you do, you’re going to fail.” If you don’t, say Austin and McDonald’s, you could have a McCareer. For a local job, apply in store or find openings at www2.mcstate.com/careers/.

Sophomore Ilisha Housch asked Watt how the disaster in Japan affects the U.S. economy. Watt replied by explaining how auto industry is already feeling the affects with production cuts for Toyota and Honda. “I think we’ve got to accept the notion that we are tied into the whole world’s economy,” he said. “Whatever happens anywhere in the world is going ot have some impact on us here in the United States.” Another student asked Watt what kind of changes he would like to see come to North Carolina. “I wish we could get the economy jump-started again,” he said. “It’s showing signs of doing that so we just have to be patient with it.”

Tilley’s Harley-Davidson to host Biker, Blues and BBQ rally SALISBURY — Motorcycles and meat could draw thousands of people to a three-day bike rally and barbecue cookoff this fall. Tilley Harley-Davidson will host the Biker, Blues & BBQ Rally Sept. 22 to 24, an event sanctioned by the Kansas City BBQ Society and proclaimed by Gov. Bev Perdue as a State Barbecue Championship. Coordinator Gary Moss said he expects at least 4,000 people over three days. “It’s a great idea,” said James Meacham, executive director for the SalisburyRowan CounMOSS ty Convention and Visitors Bureau. The event combines two niche markets — motorcycles and barbecue. Both have loyal enthusiasts, Meacham said. The rally also fills a hole in Salisbury’s fall tourism calendar, coming right after a major fishing tournament at High Rock Lake and just before the first fall appearance of Thomas the Tank Engine at the N.C. Transportation Museum. “September can be a slow month,” Meacham said. “This helps us grow our event base and gives us more weapons in our portfolio to
promote the area.”
Cooking at home Competitive cooks from Salisbury usually pull trailers and smokers for hours behind gas-guzzling pickup trucks across the Southeast in pursuit of a coveted Grand Champion award. But for at least one weekend, local teams will drive just a few miles to Tilley, where 50 competitors will set up behind the dealership. “Elation — that’s the best word to describe it,” Tomme Gamewell said. Gamewell said he and his partner in P&C Smoke-AHolics, Brad VunCannon, have been waiting years to cook in front of a hometown crowd. Chris Finney of Salisbury, whose Iron Pig BBQ has won both a state championship and Grand Champion award, said he applauds Tilley for coming up with the event and hopes people will embrace it. “I think it’s great for Salisbury in general, if people can get past the fact that it’s at a Harley dealership and just come on out,” Finney said. “It will be fun for all ages, whatever your thoughts are on Harleys.”
has closed, and turned it into three days of vendors, food and entertainment. “Why do something normal?” Moss said. “If you’re going to do something, do it big.” Moss, a long-time Tilley customer, helped coordinate a successful Harley owners rally at the dealership in 2008. He said he wants to recapture that experience but make it even bigger. “This is not just for motorcycle customers,” Tilley General Manager Tracy Edwards said. “It’s for everyone.” Proceeds from the pageant, poker run and 12th annual Junior’s Bike Show will go to local charities Godstock and the Fraternal Order of Police. Nearly 70 trained judges from six states will determine winners in several cooking categories. Prize money, which comes from entry fees and sponsorships, totals more than $12,00. If you think you know barbecue, you can pay $15 to become one of 100 lay judges in the People’s Choice contest. Moss welcomes additional sponsors and offers five levels of giving. He also has space for 50 vendors and encourages everything from jewelry to art to clothing. “We want to feature local businesses,” he said.

LANDIS — The town board will meet today to discuss ways to overcome a $178,000 budget shortfall. At a budget workshop last week, town staff provided seven options that would create a balanced budget. The board struck down a tax increase, instead opting to consider giving employees furlough days, which saved the town $60,000 last year, and layoffs. The board also discussed contracting out it’s sanitation services. If that happens, the town would not need the employees in its sanitation department, though the company that takes over the service might hire them. The board meets at 6 p.m. in town hall, 312 S. Main St.

Possum mash Some of the moonshiner’s recipes were unusual. “The worst one I ever saw,” Graham said, “is they threw a possum in the mash.” The moonshine setup with the possum in it was comprised of 400-gallon mash boxes. “And they put their mash in there, let it ferment,” he said. “And one of them put a possum in the mash. He was floating in the mash when we got it. It just speeded up the fermentation.” But the moonshiners never got to run that still, Graham said. “We just blew the possum up along with the still.” Another operation Graham found was underground, under a hog pen. “The hogs were just running around on top of it,” he said.

Graham said he watched Stoner remove a wooden plank from the side of the church, which he later found to be part of a trap door leading to the underside of the choir loft and part of the pulpit. “The choir was standing on it,” he said. “That shook the community up.” Graham said he’ll also never forget a woman fainting as he and others were searching a house. And when she fainted, she fell onto her bed — a calculated fall and performance. “She said she was having a heart attack,” Graham said.

Graham went back to the still and found Shirley had shot himself. “And then they found, about half a mile from the still, he (Shirley) told an old farmer that was plowing, ‘I just shot a Federal agent,’ ” Graham said. “The old farmer said, ‘Well, you shouldn’t have done that.’ “Martin getting shot was the most memorable. Everything else was just about routine. You’d raid a still and they’d run, and you’d run and catch them. “We had only one that ever shot at us. We kind of had the unwritten law — if you don’t shoot at me, I won’t shoot at you. We didn’t shoot at them. But when he shot at Martin, he broke the law.”

NC extends tax deadlines for victims of tornadoes RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s tax collectors are providing a break for victims of severe weekend weather who had yet to file their 2010 returns. The state Revenue Department said Monday it will waive late filing and late payment penalties for people and businesses unable to file their return or pay their taxes because of the storms that killed 21 people on Saturday. State law prevents the agency from waiving any interest assessed on overdue taxes, so the clock keeps ticking on that until payment. The penalties will be waived until May. Taxpayers must file an additional Form NC-5500 with their late payment or return. A tax agency spokeswoman says the late payment is only for storm victims, and auditors who find discrepancies can assess late payment.
NC scholar’s report calls for end to death penalty RALEIGH (AP) — An Appalachian State University professor says North Carolina lawmakers should seriously consider repealing the death penalty because it’s financially expensive, carried out infrequently and doesn’t deter crime. Matthew Robinson spoke at a Monday news conference assembled by the state’s trial lawyers association in Raleigh. Robinson analyzed years of data about the death penalty, which he said costs millions of dollars annually and capital murder cases are nearly four times more expensive than non-capital cases. He said seven people have been exonerated and freed from North Carolina’s death row since the early 1970s. The trial lawyers’ group hopes the report will influence debate in the General Assembly over a number of measures that could affect death penalty cases, including a Republican-written bill to repeal the 2009 Racial Justice Act.

SANFORD (AP) — President Barack Obama has called the manager of a Sanford home improvement store who managed to get 100 people safely to the back of the store as a tornado ripped the roof off the building. A press release from the White House said Obama expressed his gratitude Monday to Lowe’s store manager Michael Hollowell for his swift action Saturday that likely saved lives. The release did not give any additional details on what Obama and the store manager discussed. Hollowell has deflected praise for his actions, saying he was simply following his company’s safety plans. The tornado that ripped apart the Lowe’s was one of dozens that moved across North Carolina on Saturday, killing 21 people.

SALISBURY — The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office is seeking information on a suspect involved in daytime residential break-ins. Deputies responded to a residential break-in on Daugherty Road early in the morning last week. The crime happened during a time when most people have already left home for work, the Sheriff’s Office said in a press release. A witness saw the crime and called the Sheriff’s Office. Deputies arrived on the scene in less then five minutes, but the suspect had already left, the press release said. The suspect is described as a white male in his 40s to 50 years old, 6 feet to 6 feet, 2
inches tall, with a thin build and short gray or white hair. He may have a mustache, but a witness wasn’t certain. The suspect was driving a vehicle described as a late 1980s or early 1990s model, square type, four-door, possibly a Buick Century or Buick LeSabre. The vehicle was dark gray, maybe slate or a bluish gray, in color. The witness said the vehicle wasn’t damaged, but the finish wasn’t shiny. The suspect was last seen traveling toward N.C. 152 from Daugherty Road. The Sheriff’s Office said evidence collected from crime scenes links the suspect to similar crimes. Investigators ask anyone with information about this suspect to contact Detective Carl Dangerfield at 704-2168711, Lt. Chad Moose at 704-

GIVING THE GIFT OF LIFE ALISBURY — Through the years as she dealt with serious health challenges, Karina Evette Moss would drop subtle reminders into conversations with her parents. It might be over dinner or while shopping with her mother, Shirley, but Karina would mention she was an organ and tissue donor. If she died, she wanted to give a gift of life. When 34-yearold Karina died the morning of Jan. 18 at an assisted-living facility in Spencer, MARK Grady and Shirley WINEKA Moss knew, once they emerged from the shock of her passing, what Karina’s wishes were. They made the arrangements with the hospital’s help. This month, the Mosses and their son, Ernest, celebrated Karina’s gift when they presented a cloth square the parents designed to Carolina Donor Services, a federally designated organ procurement agency serving 7 million people in 78 counties of North Carolina and Danville, Va. Their square and those from other donor families become part of a quilt that is displayed at community and state events, health fairs and during public awareness campaigns. The quilts also are part of three annual “Celebration of Life” ceremonies held each April during Donate Life Month. The regional celebrations take place in Winston-Salem, Durham and Greenville, and Moss family members attended the WinstonSalem gathering at the Hawthorne Inn. Ernest Moss spoke for the family at the ceremony, and they also watched a video memorial tribute to Karina and the other donors being honored. Made with the help of Granite Knitwear, Karina’s 13-inch square includes her photograph, the dates of her life and the words “Victory is Mine,” the title of her favorite song. Ernest, a former track star at North Rowan High School and now a coach at Raford University in Va., says his sister’s gift as a donor was her true expression of love, service and honor. “It shows everything she stood for every single day,” he says. Karina’s aunt and godmother, Frances McCray, says Karina was “an especially giving person.” “I hope so that many people sign up for this program,” she adds. Next April, the Mosses will be able to return to the Celebration of Life ceremony and see the completed quilt, honoring 2011 donors. Granite Knitwear actually produced an extra square for the Mosses, and it might end up in a national quilt, Shirley says. Before her health completely

WASHINGTON (AP) — Device maker Novocure said Friday that the Food and Drug Administration approved its first-of-a-kind treatment that fights cancerous brain tumors using electrical energy fields. The FDA approved the device for patients with aggressive brain tumors that have returned after treatment with chemotherapy and other interventions. Patients with recurring brain cancer usually live only a few months. Studies showed that people using the device lived about as long as those taking chemotherapy, roughly six months. However, patients using the device had significantly fewer side effects. For decades, doctors have treated cancer with three methods: drugs, radiation or surgery. Novocure’s NovoTTF device represents a fourth approach. The portable device uses electric fields to disrupt the division of cancer cells that allows tumors to grow and spread. The electric fields have little effect on healthy cells because they divide at a much slower rate, if at all, compared with
’tis the season for sneezing and wheezing ollen is a most fascinating product of nature. It causes the propagation of plant species. It was train conductors in early America that noticed that the farther they went up in elevation, that the less of what we would call allergy symptoms seemed to exist. It is this simple observation that led many allergy sufferers to go to “allergy resorts” in the White Mountains of Vermont, some of which are still in existence today. This is where the first United States Hay Fever Association was actually located as well. Interestingly, hay fever has little to do with hay and does not cause DR. JON fever. WELCH Charles Blackley in 1872 was studying the dust that came from the plant “Roman Wormwood”, the early name given to what we now call ragweed. He grew these plants in early green houses. The plant was noted for its prolific ability to produce a fine green dust. One day, after receiving a cut on the arm as the result of a cat scratch, he went to study the plant. After shaking the green pollen from the plant he noticed that he had a rash (hives, welts) in the area where the dust landed on the cat scratches. Later, he induced scratches on his other arm and introduced the pollen from the plant and developed the rash again. He obviously suffered greatly whenever he studied the plant and wore a mask around the plants but he discovered the possibility that the dust was actually causing the problem. Later, dust from the ragweed plant was sealed and taken to the White Mountains to see if it was the cause of allergy symptoms. After breathing the rather pollenless air in the upper elevations of the White Mountains, susceptible subjects exposed themselves to the dust of ragweed and within 20 minutes were indeed suffering the same fate they felt in the fall of the lower elevations. It was at this point that the study of allergy began and the impact nature has on the health of individuals. Ah, the proverbial adage, “tis the season for sneezing and wheezing.” This is a lovely time of year for the beauty that Mother Nature brings. However, it can also cause about 20 percent of the population to suffer symptoms of itchy, watery and red eyes, sneezing, itchy nose with clear discharge, nasal congestion, headaches, post nasal drip, skin rashes and coughing or wheezing and a host of other complaints reminiscent of seasonal allergy symptoms. This is the time of year when allergic pollens make their way into the respiratory tracts of susceptible people and cause them quite misery. This time of year, for them, usually heralds multiple trips to the store for medications and possible trips to the doctor for help when the medications are not satisfactory. I get many people coming in this time of year, and the most interesting thing I find is that patients state they are suffering from the grass. Every time they have to mow, they wear masks or pretreat themselves and make sure to hose their bodies off and put the laundry directly into the machine upon entering the house. Interestingly their symptoms, at this time of year, have nothing to do with grass pollens. What is happening now, and at a most explosive pace, is the trees are pollinating. Tree pollen is the first pollen to be seen in the springtime. Of course, people mistake the problem as the grass as it is beginning to grow and needing to be cut. However, grass does not pollinate in this area until usually the beginning of summer. The tree pollens, of course, deposit everywhere but we see it mainly as the green/yellow dust on the porches and car surfaces than we do directly on the grass. As you read this, you may question this as it seems instinctual that the grass is the culprit. It is interesting that when I state this to my own patients they will vehemently argue with me. I usually ask them to track the pollen in their local area through pollen counters, which can be found on multiple sites on the Internet. One such site is Pollen.com. I usually post these results on my front door so patients can see what is happening, and if they have been tested in the past, they can ready themselves for the onslaught of symptoms that we try to prevent.

designed for a state quilt that will be made in honor of organ donors, such as their daughter, Karina. Left: This Gift of Life medal was given to the Mosses by Carolina Donor Services. Karina, who died in January, was an organ donor.
limited her driving, Karina registered as an organ donor on her driver’s license. Karina graduated from North Rowan High School in 1994 and received certifications in child care, sign language and phonics from Rowan-Cabarrus Community College. She was employed for a time with Home Child Care Centers Inc. In high school, Karina Moss participated on cross country and indoor and outdoor track teams. She was a charter member of the Rowan Express Track Club and also belonged to the Durham Strider Track Club. She was a North Rowan High Band member, an Archonette of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority and a 1994 debutante queen. Her mother says Karina began taking dance lessons at 5 and became talented in jazz, tap, ballet and modern dance. “She was often asked to dance at special events,” Shirley says. On the community side, Karina was a strong advocate for the young, old and people with disabilities, according to her family. She volunteered at the Lutheran Home and as a storyteller for Rowan Public Library. She also worked for Summit Civitan Club
and held local and state positions with the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Karina collected angels and was known for writing poems and short stories. “This is our biggest test that God put before us,” Shirley Moss says of losing her only daughter. Shirley and Grady met at Livingstone College and have been married 40 years. Shirley is a retired and beloved educator, known especially for her long teaching career at Knox Middle School. From her days as a late teen, Karina suffered from blood clots and had survived several lifethreatening scares. The need to be near emergency care eventually forced her into the assistedliving facility, Shirley says. Still, her death Jan. 18 was a surprise, because there was no indication in the days leading up to her death that she was having troubles. Shirley says she talked with her daughter two to four times a day and last spoke with her the night before she died. In that conversation, Shirley shared the news that her mother, Cornelia Cartwright — Karina’s grandmother — was going to have a street named for her in the Lonsdale neighborhood of Knoxville, Tenn. The official ceremony is scheduled for this summer. Cartwright was a well-known community activist for Lonsdale. “It was big news for our family,” Shirley says. “We were talking of plans to go.”
Carolina Donor Services says there are three easy ways to register as an organ, eye and tissue donor in North Carolina: • Place a heart on your driver’s license at the Division of Motor Vehicles • Register online at www.donatelifenc.org • Complete a paper enrollment form and return it to Donate Life North Carolina For more information, contact Carolina Donor Services at 800200-2672, or info@carolinadonorservices.org.
The family has received several things in Karina’s honor since her death. Carolina Donor Services gave them a handsome “Gift of Life” donor medal and a silver starfish pin, a symbol for making a difference. The U.S. Surgeon General’s office has sent the Mosses a certificate paying tribute to Karina. They also have received a letter of thanks from the North Carolina Eye Bank. Carolina Donor Services says one organ donor can save up to eight lives, and one tissue donor can save or improve the quality of life for up to 50 people. The Mosses don’t know exactly how many people Karina may have helped through her gift. They just cherish the time they had with her and know she’s still making a difference.

Tips for how to ease the pain of food shopping checkout. 4. Stick to the two or three stores in your area that offer the cheapest prices, and then rotate your shopping trips. Make sure that each week, you get their weekly fliers or check their websites for specials. 5. Find a bakery outlet. These stores offer wonderful bargains if you can be highly disciplined. 6. Visit a salvage store. This is the land of dented cans and mis-labels. 7. Buy in bulk as appropriate. If you can’t use it before it goes bad, it’s a bad deal, no matter how good the bargain is. 8. Don’t overbuy your storage space. It takes a lot of room
to store a year’s worth of toilet tissue. 9. Be coupon-selective. Only use a coupon if you would have purchased the product anyway. 10. Consider generic and store brands. Many times, the generic product is identical to the brand-name one except for the lower price. If you try the store brand and don’t like it, take it back. Stores know their survival rests on happy customers. 11. Shop solo. Being distracted can be quite costly. 12. Make friends. Produce, bakery and meat department staff members may mark down day-old items if they know you as a regular customer.
Sexless marriage has husband looking elsewhere
Dear Amy: I work at an assisted-living facility. There is one co-worker I find hard to deal with. She is always bossing people around and interferes with job assignments. She is rude and disrespectful, as well. I went to the nursing supervisor about this because her behavior was affecting the residents. The co-worker stopped for a while, but now she is starting again. This situation is causing me a lot of stress. Do you have any suggestions? — Nursed Out Dear Nursed: Your supervisor has intervened once and it seemed to have an effect on your co-worker’s behavior. Go back to your supervisor. Say the problem has surfaced again. This time, however, ask for suggestions. Your particular professional challenge is to not only serve people in an intimate way who have a variety of personalities and abilities, but also to work cooperatively with people who have varied temperaments. You may be able to change the dynamic if you react differently when your co-worker attempts to dominate you. Telling her, “Thank you, but I already know my assignments for today,” is a respectful but fairly definitive way to ask her to back off. You should be open to other ideas. Dear Amy: “Just be Nice” was complaining about how some doctors deliver bad news to patients in a manner that indicates that they don’t care. I had two young children and was diagnosed with cancer. The oncologist I was referred to seemed gruff and cold. Near the end of my six-
month treatment, a nurse told me that the first day I came into the clinic, my doctor (who was pregnant at the time) had gone into the back room and sobbed. Perhaps some of the gruffness and cut-and-run response is just human weakness and an inept handling of the grief of others — rather than simply not caring. — Wendy Dear Wendy: I agree completely.

ing a physician who is both professional and compassionate is such a bonus. Send questions via e-mail to askamy@tribune.com or by mail to Ask Amy, Chicago Tribune, TT500, 435 N.

Dear Frustrated: I can imagine that this is not only sexually frustrating, but also heartbreaking for both of you. You say your wife has tried various remedies for her sexual aversion, but you don’t mention any efforts you have made to address this as a couple. You also don’t mention your own individual effort — aside from the idea that you would look outside your marriage for sexual fulfillment. The good news is that your wife seems to be open to addressing this problem. This is a problem the two of you share, however, and your marriage is at risk. You two should see a therapist together who has expertise in working with couples about sexual issues. An experienced therapist will not be thrown off by your
wife’s aversion and your response, and will coach both of you with a goal of reviving your sexual connection. There are many books offering some perspective on this fairly common problem. One I like is “The Sex-Starved Marriage: A Couple’s Guide to Boosting Their Marriage Libido,” by Michele WeinerDavis (Simon & Schuster, 2003). Read and share it with your wife.

Dear Amy: I have been happily married for 35 years and still love my wife. However, 12 years ago, when she went through menopause, she lost all interest in sex. She didn’t just lose interest, but felt repulsed by it. Before that we had a happy sex life. She has seen medical specialists, tried medications and psychiatry, but nothing has helped. MeanASK while, my deAMY have sires only multiplied through frustration since I have been true to her and have not wanted to hurt her by going outside our marriage for sexual fulfillment. However, after a dozen years of this I have reached the end of my tolerance and all I think about is sex. Since there is an expectation in marriage of sexual fulfillment, am I wrong to consider going outside my marriage for relief? I know I would suggest this to my wife if the roles were reversed, but I also know she would be devastated if she found out I was going to another woman for sexual release. What should I do? I can’t go on like this. — Frustrated
13. Look high and low. Expensive brand names are purposefully positioned at eye level. 14. Fancy packaging increases the price. Example: cereal in bags versus other brands in fancy boxes. 15. Check those eggs. And any food item that’s packaged in a bunch. Don’t just grab that bag of apples and toss it in your cart before inspecting what’s in the bag. Skip the cracked eggs and the bruised apples. 16. Buy on sale. A national brand on sale is usually less expensive than a store brand at regular price.

TRAIL OF DEATH, DEVASTATION
Nature’s fury on display erhaps the only people who can fully appreciate the violence of the storms that swept through North Carolina and other parts of the South over the weekend are the people who witnessed the devastation and death that resulted and lived to talk about it. Rowan County has seen its share of blustery weather this month, with damaging winds a couple of weeks ago and a tornado reported in western Rowan County on Saturday. Nerve-wracking as those events were, no injuries apparently resulted, and they pale beside the ferocity of the twisters that struck to our east this weekend. When houses are lifted from foundations and steel-framed buildings are ripped apart, when children die in their homes, it’s an ordeal that defies description. But here are some of the words that survivors and rescue workers used to try to capture what they saw and felt in areas such as Bertie and Bladen counties: mindboggling, humbling, harrowing, devastating, scared, shock, disbelief, totally leveled, bomb, war zone. An eye-witness in Bladen County captured the surreal nature of airborne pigs and wind-blown vehicles when she said, “It looked just like ‘The Wizard of Oz.’ ” It was a disaster of historic proportions, with at least 21 confirmed N.C. deaths and hundreds of homes and businesses destroyed or damaged. Earlier, the storm system had left similar scenes of destruction in Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia. The death toll in North Carolina would no doubt have been higher if residents hadn’t been prepared to take cover because of news accounts following the trail of destruction and weather-service warnings predicting the storms’ path. The devastation is only half of the story, however. The other half emerges in the stories of heroism, unselfishness and community spirit recounted in the storms’ wake. Amid death and ruined homes, it’s hard to see a silver lining. Yet these are some other words survivors have uttered: help, recovery, faith, thankful, blessed, miraculous. Almost before the roaring winds faded, stories of heroism and hope began to filter out. The store manager who herded his employees to safety. A man who braved howling winds to deliver an elderly neighbor to safety. Clean-up crews, Red Cross volunteers and others converging from across the state to render emergency aid and comfort. Inevitably, those are part of any disaster, too. Forecasters say this is shaping up as an unusually volatile spring storm season. Thus far, we’ve been fortunate to escape with moderate damage locally. But complacency can be deadly when Mother Nature is this rambunctious. Keep an eye on the weather and be prepared to seek safer ground — if you can find it.

Wise men make proverbs, but fools repeat them. — Samuel Palmer

ALEIGH — All that teeth-gnashing over a pardon for Reconstruction-era Gov. William Holden may have turned out for the best. Last week, the North Carolina Senate returned to the matter of Holden, who was impeached and removed from office 140 years earlier. Senators had been scheduled to SCOTT approve a resMOONEYHAM olution posthumously pardoning Holden back in March. Then an anonymous document left on their desks, in violation of the chamber’s rules, led to a bunch of hemming and hawing. The document disparaged Holden as a “scalawag” and a lover of “carpetbaggers,” quoting a couple of mostly discredited Jim Crow-era historians. Turns out a legislative assistant employed over in the House distributed the document. He’s no longer employed by the House. He did, though, show up for the latest pardoning ceremony. Thanks to his actions, it took place in a more appropriate place, the cramped Senate chambers of the old Capitol where Holden’s impeachment trial took place. House leaders had decided to hold a ceremonial session in the old Capitol to mark the 235th anniversary of the Halifax Resolves, North Carolina’s own document of defiance to the British Crown which predates by a few months the Declaration of Independence. After the dust had settled over the earlier controversy, Senate leaders decided that the meeting in the old Capitol would be a good time to move ahead with the Holden pardon. The delay and resulting attention surely prompted a few people to turn to the history books and learn about one of the more troubled episodes of North Carolina history. Some, like the once-employed legislative assistant, seem to believe that they know enough, that Holden’s impeachment was more than justified. They say that Holden, who founded the Republican Party in North Carolina, was both corrupt and acted illegally. What is clear from the history books is that Holden acted as aggressively as any Southern governor to put down the Ku Klux Klan violence that arose as federal troops pulled out of Southern states in the aftermath of the Civil War. He hired detectives to track down Klan perpetrators of violence. When a state senator and black town councilman were killed with impunity in Alamance and Caswell counties, he sent a militia into the counties, established martial law and arrested more than 100 people. His critics, of his time and today, say that he acted without justification. Holden, in his own hand, put together a long list of justifications. He listed dozens and dozens of episodes of blacks and whites being pulled from their homes at night by klansmen, and then whipped, beaten or killed. At his impeachment trial, Holden’s conviction was based upon the conclusion that that no insurrection existed in Alamance and Caswell counties, and that therefore his imposition of martial law and suspension of habeas corpus was illegal. You can see what you think of the arguments here: http://www.archive.org/strea m/trialofwilliamwh03hold#p age/n7/mode/2up. It’s a complete transcript of the prosecution and defense arguments at his trial. • • • Scott Mooneyham writes about state government for Capitol Press Association.

Dodging budget truths Neither party being honest about the future ike you, I suspect, I am tired of the endless budget debate that never gets resolved. We were scared senseless about a government shutdown, which was averted, literally, at the eleventh hour by $38 billion in spending cuts in the current fiscal year. Now we’re being led to panic by the possibility of a government default on its loans if the debt ceiling is not raised, a new round of “class warfare” rhetoric pitting the poor against the wealthy and the nightmare of the end of Medicare as we know it. Beyond the opening bells for the 2012 presidential election, which is guiding most of this nonsense, there are serious changes in government ANN coming that will greatly imMCFEATTERS pact each of us. And we will be dismayed at the repercussions. The bottom line is that we don’t have enough money for everything politicians promised us. We were lured to expect everlower taxes, to be the world’s beat cop and to provide ever larger social services to the elderly and the less fortunate. That era is over. The fever-pitched yelling in Washington is not helping us understand or prepare for the inevitable. Neither Republicans nor Democrats are being honest with us, and for good reason — we are not going to like the brave new world they know is ahead. Outraged about those sleepy air controllers who can’t keep their eyes open when on duty? Like every non-defense federal agency, the Federal Aviation Administration must now deal with across-the-board budget cuts and is wondering where it will get the money to train and put two controllers on duty overnight. Angry that 3,000 Americans die every year from food-borne illness while thousands more are hospitalized?

won’t have the funds to regulate as strictly as they are supposed to do. Want higher Social Security checks and Medicare benefits? The money is not there. Medicare will be pared, and seniors will pay more for it. The retirement age will increase to 70 within a few decades, even though only 45 percent of Americans now hold jobs, a decline from the past. There will be means testing — the more you have in assets, the smaller your monthly check. Struggling to pay your income taxes this month? Tax rates are going to rise and many popular tax breaks will be curtailed for families and corporations. (But a White House request to hire more IRS agents was scrapped.) Wondering how your college student will finance her education? Federal Pell grants will be much more difficult to get. Want the government to work faster to clean up that abandoned toxic waste dump down the road? Won’t happen. Furious that the Wall Street giants who helped cause the recent financial calamity, still hurting millions of people, have not gone to jail and are getting even fatter pay checks? Don’t hold your breath waiting for tougher regulators to crack down. The outlines for the 2012 campaign are now clear. President Barack Obama will fight for a trillion dollars’ worth of higher taxes on the wealthy and to end popular tax breaks. He will seek to cut spending across the board if specific cuts are not enough to bring down the deficit. Republicans refuse to discuss higher taxes but are fighting to cut federal spending by a trillion dollars and turn Medicare into a voucher program. Game on. One positive aspect is that politicians no longer are able to say we can balance the budget if we will just eliminate waste, fraud and abuse, as if that is a line-item category that can be ticked off. No, we’re facing higher taxes and dramatic spending cuts on programs we love, no matter who is elected. • • • Scripps Howard columnist Ann McFeatters has covered the White House and national politics since 1986.

Regarding the article “Spencer residents speak out against pawn shops”: After reading the article in the April 14th edition, I felt that I had to respond. I have managed a pawn shop for nine years, and I am still amazed at how little people know about the industry. We are highly regulated by both state and federal authorities, and work with law enforcement every day. A pawn shop offers short-term loans to clients for unexpected bills, like a car repair or utility payments. You bring in an item and we make a loan for said item, which we then store until you repay your loan. If you don’t repay, we then will sell your item. This does not show up on your credit history, and no foreclosure or repossession proceedings are necessary. Yet people still associate pawn shops with stolen property and thieves. The last place you want to take something stolen is a pawn shop, because you will be caught. People shouldn’t be afraid of pawn shops or the people who frequent them. Pawn shops offer merchandise at a bargain price, and carry everything from hand tools to jewelry. If you have never been inside a pawn shop, I invite you to do so. I think you’ll be very surprised. — Todd Morgan Faith
Apathy and ignorance Do you know the difference between ignorance and apathy? Ignorance is when one does not know he shouldn’t commit a crime, while apathy is not caring who gets hurt during the act of committing the crime. Ignorance is when one does not know he shouldn’t cheat on a test, while apathy is not caring that it is not fair to his peers who don’t cheat. Ignorance is when one doesn’t know how to do a job, while apathy is when he doesn’t care how his poor attitude or job performance affects his coworkers or customers. Ignorance is not know-

ing the rules, while apathy is not caring to follow them. While one might say there is a lot of ignorance in the world, he should be able to see that apathy is far worse. In my lifetime apathy has grown exponentially. Too many people, young and old, do not care enough to follow even the simplest of rules. Criminals don’t care because the legal system protects them too much. Workers don’t care because they know they have to do something really bad to get fired. Young people don’t care because things in their life are set up to give them multiple chances to do what’s right without them ever really getting punished. Society is failing all of these people by not forcing them to learn right from wrong and responsibility for their actions, which is the worst form of apathy. If we as a nation don’t care enough to enforce the rules across the entire spectrum of life, what will our country be like in another 40 or 50 years? Just think about that for a minute.

Los Angeles Times wins Pulitzer NEW YORK (AP) — The Los Angeles Times won a Pulitzer Prize for public service Monday for a series revealing that politicians in the struggling, working-class city of Bell, Calif., were paying themselves enormous, six-figure salaries. The newspaper’s reporting that officials in the 37,000-resident town were jacking up property taxes and other fees in part to cover the huge salaries led to arrests and the ouster of some of Bell’s top officials. The Times won a second Pulitzer for feature photography, and The New York Times was awarded two Pulitzers for international reporting and for commentary. But in a year in which the earthquake in Haiti and the disastrous Gulf oil spill were some of the biggest stories, the Pulitzer Board decided not to give an award in the category of breaking news — a first in the 95-year history of the most prestigious prize in journalism. “No entry received the necessary majority,” said Sig Gissler, administrator of the prizes. He wouldn’t elaborate except to say that breaking news is a “deadline-driven category” that depends on news organizations’ reporting of an event the moment it happens.

RALEIGH (AP) — The woman who falsely accused three Duke lacrosse players of raping her was charged Monday with murder in the death of her boyfriend. Crystal Mangum was indicted on a charge of first-degree murder and two counts of larceny. She has been in jail since April 3, when police charged her with assault in the stabbing Reginald Daye, 46. He died after nearly two weeks at a hospital. Mangum falsely accused the lacrosse players of raping her at a 2006 party at which she was hired to perform as a stripper. The case heightened long-standing tensions in Durham about race, class and the privileged status of college athletes. Prosecutors declined to press charges for the false accusations, but Mangum’s bizarre legal troubles have continued.

Radiation remains high in Japan reactor
TOKYO (AP) — A pair of thin robots on treads sent to explore buildings inside Japan’s crippled nuclear reactor came back Monday with disheartening news: Radiation levels are far too high for repair crews to go inside. Nevertheless, officials remained hopeful they can stick to their freshly minted “roadmap” for cleaning up the radiation leak and stabilizing the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant by year’s end so they can begin returning tens of thousands of evacuees to their homes. “Even I had expected high radioactivity in those areas. I’m sure (plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co.) and other experts have factored in those figures when they compiled the roadmap,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said. Officials said Monday that radiation had spiked in a water tank in Unit 2 and contaminated water was discovered in other areas of the plant. They also described in detail for the first time the damage

BEIRUT (AP) — More than 5,000 anti-government protesters in Syria took over the main square of the country’s third-largest city Monday, vowing to occupy the site until President Bashar Assad is ousted and defying authorities who warn they will not be forced into reforms. The government, however, blamed the weeks of anti-government unrest in the country on ultraconservative Muslims seeking to establish a fundamentalist state and terrorize the people, in the latest official effort to portray the reform movement as populated by extremists. The Egypt-style standoff in the central city of Homs followed funeral processions by more than 10,000 mourners for some of those killed in clashes Sunday that a rights group said left at least 12 people dead. It also brought a high-stakes challenge to security forces over whether to risk more bloodshed — and international backlash — by trying to clear the square. In the past month, Syrian security forces in uniforms and plainclothes have launched a deadly crackdown on demonstrations, killing at least 200 people, according to human rights groups. Many Syrians also say pro-government thugs — known as Shabiha — have terrorized neighborhoods with tactics such as opening fire into the air. The government has in the past blamed “armed gangs”

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Pentagon inquiry into a Rolling Stone magazine profile of Gen. Stanley McChrystal that led to his dismissal as the top US commander in Afghanistan has cleared him of wrongdoing. The probe’s results released Monday also called into question the accuracy of the magazine’s report last June, which quoted anonymously people around McChrystal making disparaging remarks about members of President Barack Obama’s national security team, including Vice President Joe Biden. At the time he dismissed McChrystal, Obama said the general had fallen short of “the standard that should be set by a commanding general.” The Defense Department inspector general’s report, however, concluded that available evidence did not support the conclusion that McChrystal had violated any applicable legal or ethics standard. Last week the White House tapped McChrystal to head a new advisory board to support military families, an initiative led by First Lady Michelle Obama and Jill Biden, wife of the vice president. The selection of McChrystal was announced on April 12, four days after the inspector general’s report was finished. The inspector general’s conclusions were first reported Monday by The New York Times, which obtained the report under a Freedom of Information Act request. The Pentagon subsequently posted the report on its website.

process of electing new leaders Monday in a vote that is likely to formally name Raul Castro as first secretary in place of his brother. All eyes were on the selection of the No. 2 position, which could signal the Castros’ choice of an eventual successor. The vote came during a historic Party Congress convened to consider hundreds of changes that officials hope will breathe life, along with a certain free-market spirit, into an ailing economy. An official photograph taken by Cuban state media showed Castro placing his vote inside a ballot box. The candidates themselves are not visible in the picture. Fidel and Raul Castro have held the top two spots in the Communist Party since its creation in 1965. But at this year’s Sixth Party Congress, there is an air of mystery surrounding the leadership vote.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A key credit agency issued an unprecedented warning to the United States government Monday, urging Washington to get a grip on its finances or risk losing the nation’s sterling credit rating. For the first time, Standard & Poor’s lowered its long-term outlook for the federal government’s fiscal health from “stable” to “negative,” and warned of serious consequences if lawmakers fail to reach a deal to control the massive federal deficit. An impasse could prompt the agency to strip the government of its top investment rating in the next two years, S&P said. A loss of the triple-A rating would ripple through the American economy, making loans more expensive and credit more difficult to obtain. The downgrade was interpreted as a rebuke to President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans, admonishing them to put politics aside and come up with a longterm financial plan as soon as possible. “This is a warning: Don’t mess around,” said Robert Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition, a nonpartisan group that is pushing for deficit reduction.

STORMS FROM 1a outages as of Monday, and a spokesman said the utility hopes to have the majority of those customers back with power as of midnight Monday.
TALLY FROM 1a — less than 10 percent damaged; 5 suffered major damage — 10 percent to 50 percent damaged; and two were destroyed — more than 50 percent damaged. • Dollar loss to damaged structures is in excess of $200,000. • Value of some structures is a little over $2.6 million. Thomason is asking people to stay away from the Farrington Meadows subdivision and along U.S. 601, reporting traffic congestion from “onlookers,” he said. Thomason praised the county’s public safety personnel and allied agencies that responded after the storm hit Saturday. “The fire departments, rescue squad, law enforcement and everybody else, worked extremely well together, and you should be proud of that response,” he said.

Some people will have to wait until Today, and “there will be pockets of customers” without power Wednesday, said Progress Energy spokesman Scott Sutton. Amid the chaos, individuals, utilities and state emergency workers have certain steps to take so that all can recover as best as possible. State emergency workers take estimates of damage to see if uninsurable losses reach $10.3 million, the minimum amount needed for North Carolina to qualify for federal disaster assistance. Residents without insurance are advised to take photos of the damage before they clean up. And the emergency workers tell everyone to put debris in two piles: construction materials and vegetative materials. Progress Energy responds to outages in a certain order: 911 calls, then the company’s own transmission system, followed by critical facilities such as hospitals and prisons. Next are the repairs that will bring the most people back online in the shortest amount of time. And finally, those scat-

tered outages that affect just a few customers. At first, people welcome the Progress Energy repair people as heroes, Sutton said. “As the days wear on, patience begins to wane, which is absolutely understandable as what starts out with an adventure turns into a trying situation rapidly,” he said. In this case, about 30 transmission structures — 100-feet tall — were damaged and must be repaired before Progress Energy gets to the neighborhood distribution
lines. “Restoring the power grid is a very manual task, physically digging holes, putting in poles, hooking up wires,” he said. “It’s not done via computer or by a couple of people in a back room. It’s hard labor in the field.” For Shelton McLean, 41, cleaning up from the weekend’s storms meant pulling out any family possessions and moving them to a storage locker. His brother brought a pickup truck and a trailer so they could empty McLean’s home at a Dunn mobile home park where a suspected tornado obliterated about half the roughly 40 homes. McLean’s home was damaged and the living space rocked off its foundation, but it wasn’t a total loss. On Monday, he was moving a stove and refrigerator, baby food and diapers. The clothes were mostly lost, but he, his 42year-old wife Sharon, and their two small children were able to recover a pair of shoes each. “That’s about it,” McLean said. “After today, there won’t

On Saturday, Shelton McLean’s sister had called him through the day warning him to leave. They were moving into a motel visible from
the mobile home park through gaps in a line of pine trees when the storm ripped through the community, killing one resident. They had left at home their 10-year-old Pekingese dog, Shorty, because the motel didn’t allow pets. A neighbor said they saw the dog’s body in woods a few hundred yards away, Shelton McLean said, but he hasn’t seen for himself.

West Rowan’s girls soccer team clinched a tie for the 3A North Piedmont Conference championship with a 2-0 win against Statesville Monday night. Brittany Gibbons and Allison Baucom scored goals for the Falcons, ranked fifth in the state 3A rankings, to complete a season sweep of Statesville. The 11th-ranked Greyhounds had not lost since the last meeting with West on March 23. West, who has never won a conference title in women’s soccer, remained unbeaten in league play. “I’m extremely pleased with our team’s performance,” West coach Nick Brown said.
“Everyone stepped up and played hard tonight. Brittany and Allison came up with two very nice goals at important times tonight.” Gibbons scored the first goal with 7:10 left in the first half thanks to an assist from Toni Lucente. Gibbons fired a shot from about eight yards out at the far corner to give the Falcons (14-1, 10-0 NPC) the lead for keeps. Statesville (11-3-1, 7-2 NPC) came out strong in the second half with continued offensive pressure, but the Falcon defense turned away all Statesville’s threats. West goalie Allison Brantley made seven saves for the shutout, including a diving block of a shot from 18 yards out with1:40 to

play. “Allison Bailey was great in goal tonight,” Brown said. “She made a bunch of key saves and was very aggressive in the box. Her save with less than two minutes left was one of the best saves I’ve seen in a long while.” Baucom put the Greyhounds away with a goal with under five minutes to play, booting the ball past Statesville goalie Natalie Stein from 35 yards away. “I’m very happy with the effort and it’s great to get a win over a top team in the state,” Brown said. The Falcons have a twogame lead in the NPC with two games left and have the tiebreaker with two wins against Statesville.
Sands makes the show BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
Associated Press
CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina’s Harrison Barnes will return for his sophomore season instead of declaring for the NBA draft. Barnes was the Atlantic Coast Conference rookie of the year, averaging nearly 16 points. The 6-foot-8 forward was widely regarded as the nation’s top freshman entering the season and helped the Tar Heels win 29 games and the ACC regular-season championship before falling a win short of the Final Four. The Tar Heels will return all five starters and their top seven scorers from last season, making them a favorite to enter the year ranked No. 1. “As a team, we’re preparing for a special season,” Barnes said in a statement from the school Monday. “My offseason plans are to diligently work on honing my basketball skills in all areas with one team goal in mind — to bring the 2012 national championship home to UNC.” Barnes’ announcement came nearly two weeks after 7-foot junior Tyler Zeller and 6-10 sophomore John Henson also decided to return to school instead of declaring for the draft. North Carolina also adds a pair of McDonald’s All-Americans in big man James McAdoo and perimeter shooter P.J. Hairston. Barnes was projected in several mock drafts as a high first-round pick. “He had a difficult decision to make,” coach Roy Williams said in a statement. “He really had no wrong decision to choose, but I believe he is coming back to school because he enjoys college basketball, he enjoys the University of North Carolina and he enjoys his teammates. “If he had decided to leave for the NBA, that would have been OK, too, because he will always be a Tar Heel. But it will certainly be a lot of fun to coach him again.” Barnes, out of Ames, Iowa, entered the year as the first freshman named a preseason Associated Press AllAmerican since voting began before the 1986-87 season. He got off to a slower-thanexpected start and struggled with his shot early, but he got rolling by mid-January and earned a reputation as a clutch late-game shooter. That included hitting 3pointers in the final seconds to win at Miami and Florida State, as well as key baskets late in regular-season wins against Clemson and Virginia Tech. He scored a freshman tournament record 40 points in the overtime victory against Clemson in the ACC semifinals.
Hornets’ only slip-up came in March against Statesville with highlight victories coming against Ledford, Davie and Mooresville. Despite the youthful exuberance on the court, the Hornets still have goals they’re serious about. Their principal aspiration is to have another deep playoff run, akin to last year when they entered the state semifinals before falling to eventual state champion NewtonConover. Salisbury anticipates another potential matchup with the Red Devils, who currently only have one loss, again in the regionals. “Our doubles have gotten better from last year,” Page said. “[NewtonConover] has really good doubles teams so hopefully we can beat them.” Both Young and Page, Salisbury’s No. 1 singles player, both began playing when Knox Middle started its tennis program. Page (13-3) is ranked in the top 50 players in the state in the United States Tennis Association poll and was 28-1 in 2010. Page says he will attend UNC in the fall to major in chemistry and play on the club team, a sensible choice considering Page carries a GPA over 5 and is one of the top 5 stu-
Fans of the Albuquerque Isotopes had just started to love Jerry Sands when they had to say goodbye. Sands, a Catawba product, was batting .400 with SANDS f i v e homers, two doubles, a triple and 17 RBIs in 10 games with the Triple A Isotopes, a performance that convinced the Los Angeles Dodgers he was ready for the majors. He was called up by the powerstarved Dodgers on Monday. Sands had struck out only three times in 45 at-bats with the Isotopes and may well have put up staggering numbers in a high-altitude hitter’s park in a hitter’s league if he’d stayed in the Pacific Coast League all season. The Dodgers immediately announced that Sands, 23, would bat seventh in their lineup and would play left field against the visiting Atlanta Braves. So instead of facing Houston Astros prospect Jordan Lyles on Monday, Sands stood in against Braves veteran Tim Hudson. “Tim Hudson?” growled Catawba coach Jim Gantt when informed of Sands’ first MLB matchup. “Geez, be careful what you wish for.” Gantt got the good news about Sands while he was mowing the grass on Monday evening. Dodgers scout Lon Joyce, who signed Sands, made the call. “Lon said, ‘Well, you’ve got yourself a big leaguer,’ ” Gantt said. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound Sands, who is as athletic as some NFL tight ends, made Newman Park look way too small in his three seasons as a Catawba Indian from 200608. Sands’ career college numbers were scary — 61 homers, 205 RBIs, .381 batting average, .752 slugging percentage, 201 runs scored, 132 walks. The homers, slugging percentage and walks set Catawba records. He hit homers in many venues that were the longest in the history of that park. Sands was a Division II All-American as a junior, producing nearly as many homers (24) as strikeouts (27). Everyone — Gantt and Sands included — was stunned when he lasted until the 25th round of the 2008 draft, mostly because the Dodgers, Reds, Cardinals and Orioles had all worked

Hornets winning, having fun BY RYAN BISESI rbisesi@salisburypost.com
It’s Monday at 4:10 in the afternoon, but Salisbury’s tennis players aren’t on the court challenging Thomasville in the first of three matches this week. Instead, the Hornets loosened up not in the courts where they haven’t lost yet this season, but in the adjacent parking lot, tossing around frisbees without a care, looking more like college students on the quad than high school prepsters waiting on an activity bus. “This is how we warm up,” jokes first-year coach Chris Stroupe. When Thomasville’s bus arrives 15 minutes late, the fun doesn’t stop, with a light-hearted pre-match huddle that Stoupe leads. This is the happy-golucky demeanor the No. 3 team in the state 2A coaches poll carries, as they should. The Hornets have rolled through the Central Carolina Conference, adding another 9-0 triumph against the Bulldogs. Salisbury has won every CCC match 9-0 with each game with the fun having no end in sight. “We have a lot of spirit and comradery,” said senior Lewis Young, who recently signed with Division III Roanoke College. “ Senior teammate Alex Weant

It’s a good balance of hard work and having fun.” “You’ve got a group of group of friends that you can talk about sports with,” Steven Page said. “It’s nice to have.” Stroupe, 26 and a 2008 graduate of Pfeiffer, is in his first year coaching tennis, where the senior-laden unit has aided him as much as he has them.

Salisbury soccer soars From staff reports
An injured ankle didn’t stop Madison Kennedy from playing on Monday, and she contributed a goal and an assist to a 5-2 CCC win against Central Davidson. “She didn’t want to let anyone down, and everyone knew she was going to play if she could walk,” Salisbury coach Matt Parrish said. “She’s just so competitive, but were able to get her out of there and rest her about the last 15 minutes or so.” Fifth-ranked Salisbury (12-0-2, 7-0 needed Kennedy. It was a tough match. KENNEDY The Hornets trailed early 1-0 after the Spartans scored on a breakaway. Kennedy scored on an assist by Karen Presnell to tie it, and Presnell finished on an assist by Marlee Murphy for a 2-1 halftime lead. Murphy’s shot may have found the net anyway, but Presnell made sure. The Hornets scored three goals in the first 18 minutes of the second half to put the match away. Presnell, Murphy and Jenna Bryan scored. Kennedy and Susannah Dixon had assists. Bryan’s goal came on a direct kick. Central Davidson scored late for the 5-2 final. “They scored first and last, but we were fortunate to get those five in the middle,” Parrish said. Alee Johnson (ankle) saw her first action in four weeks, while Dixon (knee) also is less than 100 percent. Salisbury plays Ledford, a team it tied early in the season, tonight. “It’s a tough game, but it’s also non-conference, and we’ve got some tough decisions to make as we look at the big picture,” Parrish said. “All our girls are going to beg to play against Ledford, but our biggest consideration right now is trying to get everyone healthy.”

Mutai runs blazing time at Boston BOSTON (AP) — Kenya’s Geoffrey Mutai ran the fastest 26.2 miles in history to win the Boston Marathon on Monday. Then his claim to a world record was swallowed up by the hills. Not the inclines of Heartbreak Hill that have doomed so many runners before him. It was the downhill part of the race that makes his time of 2 hours, 3 minutes, 2 seconds ineligible for an official world record. In short: IAAF rules have deemed the oldest and most prestigious marathon in the world — long considered the one of the most difficult, too — to be too easy. “You don’t look at world records. You just go,” Mutai said. “If you are strong, you push it. But if you put it in your head, you can’t make it.” Mutai outsprinted Moses Mosop down Boylston Street to win by four seconds as the two Kenyans both beat Haile Gebrselassie’s sanctioned world record of 2:03:59. Four men, including third-place finisher Gebregziabher Gebremariam of Ethiopia and American Ryan Hall, broke the course record of 2:05:52 set just last year by Robert Kiprono Cheruiyot. “These guys obviously showed us what’s possible for the marathon,” said Hall, whose 2:04:58 is the fastest ever run by an American. “I was out there running, and I was thinking to myself, ‘I can’t believe this is happening right now. I’m running a 2:04 pace, and I can’t even see the leaders.’ It was unreal.” The IAAF must certify a world record, and it is unlikely to approve Mutai’s feat. The international governing body’s Rule 206 requires courses to start and finish near the same point in order to discourage downhill, wind-aided runs and the artificially fast times they can produce. (Boston has a net decline of 459 feet,
though the course is dominated by hills going up and down.) “We had a stunning performance and an immensely fast time here today,” said Tom Grilk, the head of the Boston Athletic Association, after Mutai ran almost a full minute faster than the sanctioned world record. “We in Boston are well-pleased with what has happened, and that’s good unto itself. The definitions of others, I will leave to them.” IAAF officials did not immediately respond to emails from The Associated Press seeking comment. Although the organization’s rules clearly disqualify the Boston course from a world record, it does list Cheruiyot’s time in last year’s race among the best times of 2010. Joan Benoit’s 2:22:53 was considered a women’s record in 1983, though that was before the IAAF refined its rules. Mutai will receive a $50,000 bonus for the world best and another $25,000 for the course record to go with the $150,000 he and women’s winner Caroline Kilel earned for the win. “This gentleman did both things, and we are honored to have played a part in his doing it,” Grilk said. Kilel won the women’s race to complete the Kenyan sweep, outsprinting American Desiree Davila to win by two seconds in 2:22:36. Davila led as late as the final stretch on Boylston Street and ran the fastest time ever for a U.S. woman, five seconds faster than Benoit, who is now known as Joan Samuelson. Kara Goucher ran a personal best 2:24:52 to add a fifth-place finish to her third in 2009. No American — man or woman — has won Boston since Lisa Larsen-Weidenbach in 1985. “We’re knocking on the door,” Hall said. a matter of time.”

Tampa Bay and Chicago will play in London Oct. 23 The NFL roundup... LONDON — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will host the Chicago Bears at London’s Wembley Stadium in October if the NFL season isn’t altered by a labor dispute. With the league and its locked-out players still mired in negotiations over a new labor agreement, the NFL on Monday announced its plans for what it hopes will be the fifth regular-season game played in the British capital. The Bucs are set to return to London for the second time in three years, having lost to the New England Patriots at Wembley in 2009. For the Bears, the game on Oct. 23 will
mark the 25th anniversary of having played a preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys at the stadium in 1986. “Our past four games in London have demonstrated the tremendous passion for NFL football that exists in the UK,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. This would be the fifth consecutive year that the NFL has staged a regular-season game in London as the league tries to win over new fans and increase its marketing appeal overseas. The full 2011 NFL schedule will be released Tuesday. • GRAPEVINE, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys and their coaches were back together for one night.
The team held their seventh annual Taste of the NFL: The Ultimate Cowboys Tailgate Party on Sunday night, and several coaches and players attended the event.

The event has provided funds for 3 million meals for needy children in North Texas through the North Texas Food Bank.

Buie to transfer from Penn St. Associated Press
The college hoops roundup... STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Suspended Penn State guard Taran Buie will transfer following a tumultuous freshman year. Coach Ed DeChellis announced Monday he had granted Buie a release from his scholarship after a post-season meeting with the player. The Nittany Lions were eliminated from the NCAA tournament after one game, a 66-64 loss to Temple. DeChellis in a statement said “we agreed it was in his best interest and in the interest of our program for him to pursue the remainder of his career at another school.” Buie was one the most highly rated basketball recruits in DeChellis’ eight-year tenure. He is the half brother of senior Talor Battle, the school’s all-time leading scorer. • STILLWATER, Okla. — Oklahoma State has added 6-

Following the draft, a temporarily discouraged Sands packed his bags to play for the Wilson Tobs in a summer wood bat league and had all but decided to return to Catawba for his senior year. Joyce flew in to see him, and the Dodgers were able to change his mind, not with dollars, but by guaranteeing they would pay for his final year of college.

foot-11 center Philip Jurick to its recruiting class for next season. Coach Travis Ford announced Monday that Jurick had signed a letter of intent to play for the Cowboys. Jurick initially signed with Tennessee out of high school and redshirted one season for the Volunteers before playing the past two seasons at Chattanooga State junior college. Ford says he expects Jurick — who averaged 10.5 points, 12.6 rebounds and 9.5 blocks for Chattanooga State last season — to help the Cowboys on both ends of the court. Jurick joins McDonald’s All-American LeBryan Nash and point guard Cezar Guerrero in Oklahoma State’s signing class. • Washington State guard Klay Thompson announced Monday he will forgo his senior season and enter the NBA draft, and the only likely scenario in which he’d return to school is if Thompson doesn’t believe he’ll be a first-round
pick. Thompson said he believes he’ll be a first-round pick and therefore have a guaranteed contract. But that uncertainty is why the leading scorer in the Pac-10 Conference last season is holding off on hiring an agent until he gets more feedback from NBA personnel. “We’ll see when we go to these workouts,” Thompson said. “First round, that would be hard to turn down. ... If I feel right and my game is ready I’ll make the jump.” Thompson has until May 8 to withdraw from the draft if he changes his mind, but much of what Thompson needs to hear will likely be known before the end of April. Thompson was a first-team all-Pac-10 selection after averaging nearly 22 points per game in his junior season in Pullman. He was in consideration for conference player of the year before Arizona’s Derrick Williams pulled away late in the regular season.

Sands batted .313 in the spring and showed the Dodgers he was a good enough athlete to play in a big-league outfield. L.A. manager Don Mattingly likened Sands to strapping Matt Holliday, a perennial All-Star. The Dodgers gave Sands the outstanding rookie award for his spring showing, but they sent him to Albuquerque to open the season. After a series against St. Louis in which they had a terrible time producing runs, the Dodgers turned to Sands for help. The Dodgers hope Sands will become the regular in left field, where they’ve been trying to get by with journeymen Marcus Thames and Tony Gwynn Jr. To make room on the roster for Sands, the Dodgers designated outfielder Xavier
Paul for assignment. Gantt expects Sands to do fine. “Jerry’s power was unique to him, more power than anyone I’ve seen here, Gantt said. “His power was unbelievable.”

The NBA roundup... MIAMI — LeBron James outscored Philadelphia’s entire starting five in the first half by himself. So did Chris Bosh. So did Dwyane Wade. And that pretty much tells the tale of a night the 76ers would rather forget. No comeback required for the Miami Heat this time. They went wire-to-wire on the lead, and moved two wins from advancing to the Eastern Conference semifinals. James scored 29 points, Bosh had his second straight double-double with 21 points and 11 rebounds, and Miami took a 2-0 series lead with a 94-73 victory over the
No blame in Notre Dame death Associated Press
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The final investigation into the death of a student videographer who died after a 40-foothigh hydraulic lift he was atop blew over in a 53 mph gust during a University of Notre Dame football practice ended Monday without anyone involved being faulted or punished. University officials acknowledged that their procedures and safeguards weren’t adequate but said they couldn’t find anyone to blame for 20-year-old Declan Sullivan’s death. No one was monitoring wind speeds when the lift blew over, but it wasn’t anyone’s job to do that, executive vice president John AffleckGraves said. The Rev. John Jenkins, the university president, said he ultimately was responsible, but he doesn’t expect any action to be taken against him. “We did not find any individual who disregarded safety or was indifferent to safety. Consequently, there was not any individual discipline,” Jenkins said. “Our conclusion is that it’s a collective responsibility that must be deal with collectively as we move forward.” The university’s 130-plus page report found that while several members of the football staff were monitoring wind speeds before practice, they stopped checking after they went out for practice about 2:45 p.m. But Sullivan, a junior film student from Long Grove, Ill., checked later and saw a warning indicating the possibility of gusts up to 60 mph. He tweeted that the weather was “terrifying” and wrote: “Gusts of wind up to 60 mph today will be fun at work . . . I guess I’ve lived long enough.” University investigators, however, couldn’t determine whether Sullivan felt pressured to go up in the lift because other videographers said the tweets likely reflected his joking nature and he often used the word “terrifying.” A spokesman for Sullivan’s parents said the family was satisfied with the school’s investigation. “We’re grateful for the level of detail that they’ve put into this report. They’ve taken a hard look at the situation and they’ve found ways to improve safety on campus,” Sullivan’s uncle, Mike Miley, said in a telephone interview from Chicago. An earlier investigation by the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration also ended without anyone being faulted, although the agency fined Notre Dame $77,500 for six safety violations, including knowingly putting its employees in an unsafe situation. The university said Monday that it was working with the agency on the fine and making changes to see that such an accident never occurs again. Peter Likins, an engineer and former University of Arizona president, reviewed the university’s report and said he agreed no one could be blamed. “Though a needless loss of life cries out for one to shoulder blame, the facts here do not support any single individual finding of fault,” he wrote.
abysmally shooting 76ers — who managed their secondlowest playoff scoring total in the last 56 years — on Monday night. “It was a really complete game for us at both ends of the floor,” James said. Showing no signs of the migraine that he battled Sunday, Wade scored 14 points for Miami, now 17-3 in its last 20 games and halfway to winning its first playoff series since the 2006 NBA finals. “I’m feeling a lot better,” said Wade, who wasn’t able to eat Sunday and was very lowenergy at times before Monday’s game. “I lost a lot of weight tonight ... but I think I did my job, to come out there and help my team get a win.” Thaddeus Young scored 18
points and Evan Turner added 15 for the 76ers, whose starters were outscored 76-29 by the Heat’s first-string. Philadelphia shot 34 percent for the game, and after getting 42 points in the paint in Game 1, were held to 24 in that department Monday. Bulls 96, Pacers 90 CHICAGO — Pacers coach Frank Vogel wrote three motivational slogans on top of a whiteboard before Indiana’s playoff game against the Chicago Bulls on Monday night. The last one read: “Expect their best. ... Beat their best.” This was far from the best for top-seeded Chicago, and Indiana still couldn’t get it done — especially after Darren Collison went down with
an ankle injury. The Pacers got pounded on the boards in a disappointing 96-90 loss in their second postseason game, shooting 41.6 percent and failing to take advantage of Chicago’s shaky start. Despite two halftime leads, they are two games from elimination with the first-round series shifting to Conseco Fieldhouse. Indiana also could be without its starting point guard for Game 3 on Thursday night — a potentially crippling blow with Derrick Rose starring for the Bulls.

HARTFORD, Conn. — Connecticut basketball fans lined up four and five deep at spots Sunday to catch a glimpse of UConn’s men’s basketball team as they paraded through downtown to celebrate the program’s third national title. The Huskies rode on a double-decker bus waving to an estimated 40,000 fans who celebrated their 53-41 win over Butler on April 4 in Houston. They were escorted by bands, jugglers, politicians and even dogs from a local Siberian Husky club. Center Alex Oriakhi blew kisses, and star guard Kemba Walker took pictures of the crowd as fans held up signs. One read, “One Nation Under Kemba.” Walker said the celebration helped him grasp the magnitude of his team’s accomplishment. “It was crazy,” he said. “It’s hit me, but not as much as it hit me today. I just keep thinking to myself, ‘Wow, we’re really national champions.’ To see those people come out and show support, it’s crazy. It’s surreal.” Myrna Rivera, 43, of Hartford brought her family. She said the UConn basketball teams set a great example for the children. “It shows the youth in

Uconn’s Kemba Walker smiles as the Huskies celebrate their third national title. Connecticut that they can work hard and be the best that they can be,” she said. “This is what the boys’ and the girls’ basketball teams represent, giving hope to those that feel there is no hope.” The parade wound its way from the Capitol and around Bushnell Park, before heading down Capitol Avenue for a rally on the north steps of the state house. Coach Jim Calhoun, who brought three of his grandchildren along for the bus ride, made no promises about the future. He has indicated he plans to return next season, but said he’s taking his time before finalizing that decision. “The promise I will make to you is that the basketball team at UConn will give everything in its heart and soul to make sure we have another rally next year,” he said. This was the eighth time there has been a parade in Hartford to celebrate a UConn national championship. This is
the men’s third championship. The women’s basketball team has won seven. The state held a rally, but no parade after the women’s championship in 2003 after the start of the war in Iraq. In 2004, an estimated 300,000 people showed up for a joint parade after both men’s and women’s teams won NCAA titles. Cathy Maher, 29, of Cromwell, was attending her first UConn victory parade. “I think this is the basketball capital of the world,” she said. “It’s really exciting.” The weather cooperated Sunday, with partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the uppers 50s. The team captured the imaginations of many fans with an amazing postseason run that included five victories in five days to win the Big East tournament in New York, and six consecutive wins in the NCAA tournament.
The NHL roundup... BUFFALO, N.Y. — Brian Boucher stopped 35 shots as the Flyers new starting goalie in helping Philadelphia grab a first-round playoff series lead with a 4-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Monday night. Danny Briere and Nikolay Zherdev keyed the victory by scoring second-period as Philadelphia goals bounced back with two straight wins after a 1-0 series-opening loss Thursday. Game 4 is at Buffalo on Wednesday. Jeff Carter and Kimmo Timonen, with an empty-netter, also scored as the Flyers improved to 6-0-2 in their past eight visits to Buffalo, including the regular season. Drew Stafford and Nathan Gerbe scored in a game the Sabres never led. Buffalo has lost consecutive games for the first time since ending a three-game skid Feb. 23. Bruins 4, Canadiens 2 MONTREAL — David Krejci and Nathan Horton scored first-period goals to lead Boston over the Montreal Canadiens as the Bruins won on the road after dropping the first two games of their first-round series at home. Tim Thomas stopped 34 shots for Boston and Rich Peverley scored in the second. Chris Kelly scored into
an empty net with 25.6 seconds remaining. Bruins captain Zdeno Chara returned to the lineup after missing Saturday night’s 3-2 loss to Montreal after he was hospitalized overnight for dehydration. Andrei Kostitsyn, who also missed Game 2, scored the Canadiens’ first goal with Boston holding a 3-0 lead 7:03 into the middle period. Tomas Plekanec drew Montreal within one early in the third. Penguins 3, Lightning 2 TAMPA, Fla.— Tyler Kennedy put Pittsburgh ahead early in the third period and Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 25 shots, helping the Penguins hold off the Tampa Bay Lightning. Maxime Talbot and Arron Asham also scored for the Penguins, who took a 2-1 lead in their first-round Eastern Conference best-of-seven playoff series and regained home-ice advantage. Game 4 is Wednesday night in Tampa. Pittsburgh rebounded from a 5-1 home loss in Game 2 despite giving up two more power-play goals to Martin St. Louis. The Lightning star erased a 2-0 deficit by striking late in the opening period, then again early in the third to give Tampa Bay hope of taking control of the series. But Kennedy answered with the go-ahead goal just 31 seconds later.
Forecast for baseball inclement Associated Press
The Green Monster seats, great view. The concession stands that sell clam chowder and lobster rolls, always popular. The hot spots at Fenway Park lately are the gift shops behind home plate and out beyond the Pesky Pole. Why? Because they’re heated, giving Boston fans a brief respite from the wicked weather. Makes sense to Red Sox center fielder Mike Cameron. “Everything’s cold out there. You have that wind. My face is freezing,” he said. “It’s not so much getting loose,” he said, pointing to his eyes, “it’s seeing. You’ve got water running down. It’s your extremities. Your eyes, noses, fingers, toes. That’s probably the hardest thing. The things you need to play baseball.” Rain, chill and even a snowout at Coors Field, it’s been rugged all across the majors. Nine games already postponed this year; none by the same point last season. Six teams have drawn record-low crowds at their ballparks — Cleveland, Atlanta, the New York Yankees, Seattle, St. Louis and Minnesota — although poor conditions aren’t always to blame. Overall, attendance is virtually identical to last season, when opening day came several days earlier.
Games are averaging 28,620, compared to 28,835 a year ago, STATS LLC said. “If you are a big leaguer, it is your job and you deal with it,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. “You strap it on, go and play. The show goes on.” Except when it doesn’t. Baltimore, Washington, Atlanta and the New York Mets have hosted doubleheaders, all caused by rainouts during an April that’s been unseasonably wet and cold in many places, especially along the Eastern seaboard. At Turner Field, the videoboard showed the weather radar, rather than stats or highlights. At Fenway Park, the protective screen at first blew over twice during batting practice. At Camden Yards, Ian Kinsler and a half-dozen of Texas teammates took advantage of the showers and went sliding on the tarp. At Yankee Stadium, two nights were so miserable that fans were given free tickets. The National Weather Service said precipitation in New York is up around 50 percent this April over normal. While the average temperature of about 51 degrees is par for the month, there have been several days much colder. Yankees star Alex Rodriguez was out of the lineup Sunday night because of stiffness in his lower back and side. He had trouble getting loose the day before and left early. “I mean, this weather is not
the most conducive that we’re playing in,” manager Joe Girardi said. At Progressive Field in Cleveland, Indians third base coach Steve Smith bundled up before Sunday’s game against Baltimore. The hood of his gray sweat shirt pulled over his red Indians cap, Smith quickly left the field after batting practice and found a warm spot on the top step of a flight of stairs leading into the team’s dugout. With the temperature hovering over 40 and winds gusting to 50 mph, this was not baseball weather. “Look at me,” said Smith, who went to school at Pepperdine and lives in California during the offseason. “I’ve got five thermals on, I look like a fullback and I’m still cold.” At Fenway, the wind chill temperatures were in the mid-30s on Friday and Saturday. “It’s definitely difficult to get going and to get comfortable at the plate and on defense,” said Red Sox first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, who spent the previous five seasons playing in San Diego. “You come in expecting the worst and getting ready for the worst. It’s not surprising,” he said. “It’s one of things that even those guys that have been here for a number of years don’t get used to it.” Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said he often took the weather into account when he was guiding the Marlins.
AssociAted press
Fans in Atlanta huddle under an umbrella before a game between the Braves and mets was called off. “In Florida, that was a big issue. We carried a lot of times a 13-man pitching staff just because we planned on having a rain delay and losing a starter and now you’ve got to carry an extra guy,” he said. The Milwaukee Brewers have been rained out twice this year, in Pittsburgh and last weekend at Washington. “I’m not used to it,” said manager Ron Roenicke, a coach for the Los Angeles Angels the past 10 seasons. “Even though we travel half the time, when I was in Anaheim we were fortunate that we didn’t have many doubleheaders.” Brewers slugger Ryan
Braun quickly summed up the conditions for the series opener at Nationals Park. “It was freezing. It was cold. It was definitely cold,” he said. Girardi, meanwhile, looked forward to the Yankees’ road trip this week. To Toronto, and a stadium with a dome. “You feel like we’re going to have pretty decent weather for two days — indoors, I don’t know about outdoors. But I mean that’s kind of nice,” he said. “We’ve played in some pretty cold weather during these first 13 games and I’m sure guys will enjoy wearing short sleeves for a change, where you can really understand why they’re wearing them.”

Though the day was chilly for spectators, it was perfect for the competitors whose feats of strength were on display time and time again. When the final whistle blew the winners and runners up were determined: In the under 175 pound class there was a tie for first place between Alex Rollins and Chris Connell, both of Salisbury. These young men split the $250 prize money. Connell excelled in the Atlas Stone and One Arm Press while Rollins headed the field in the Fingal Fingers and Bus Pull. Jeffrey Alexander of Charlotte led the field in the 176-210 pound class, beating the others’ time in the Atlas Stone and Fingal Finger events. He pocketed $250 for his effort. In a tie for second were Roger Mowery of Salisbury and Brandon Lambeth of Lexington. At 211-250 pounds, Tra Farrington of Durham and Eric Hedgspeth of Charlotte ruled the day as they tied for top honors. Farrington was tops in Atlas Stones, One Arm Press and the Bus Pull while Hedgspeth topped out in the Fingal Fingers and the Sled Push. This duo split the prize money for their considerable efforts. In the over 250 pound class, Kemal Carmen from Burlington was the leader as he topped the list in Atlas Stones and Bus Pull. Cedric Woriax and the towering Lucas Whaley (at 6 feet 10 inches) were Carmen’s main competition throughout. There was a new master’s division added to the contest this time for competitors over the age of 40. Thomas Bowman of Graham dominated that grouping. He led in four of the five events, cruising to victory. Kenny Seagle, event coordinator for the meet, was pleased with every aspect of the day. Seagle said, “As always, I am amazed at what these men can do. Whether it’s lifting a 325 pound atlas stone or pressing a 125-pound dumbbell with one arm above their heads. These men have superhuman abilities. I look forward to the next contest in October to see what will be done next.” Special thanks go to the sponsors of the contest. They include Attorney James Davis, Cheerwine, F&M Bank, Cici’s Pizza, Baylee’s Steakhouse, Ryan’s, Marlowes, Lone Star, and Anson Castelvecchi of Silverback Strength Equipment.

Is it the camphor that helps? Keep trumps under control Dear Reader: Given your brief note, I cannot offer you any specific advice. Are you on any prescription or overthe-counter medications, supplements or herbs? Do you have a clotting disorder? When did the discoloration start? Does anything make it better or worse? I suggest that you make an appointment with your primary-care physician to discuss the issue and undergo some blood work and testing. If, after this, your physician is still unable to help, have him or her suggest what type of specialist you should consult. 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.

Laurence J. Peter, an educator and “hierarchiologist” who died in 1990, said, “An intelligence test sometimes shows a man how smart he would have been not to have taken it.” A bridge deal sometimes shows a player how smart he would have been not to have drawn trumps so quickly. Is that true in this layout? South is in four spades. West leads the heart king. When East signals enthusiastically with the nine, West continues with a low heart to East’s ace. How should South continue after ruffing? South was right to rebid two spades, repeating his excellent major, instead of introducing his weaker and shorter mi-
nor. North raised to three spades to invite game, which South was happy to bid. If South could look around corners, there are various ways to make this contract. But the wrong line of play, which will be tempting, is to draw trumps, cash the diamond ace, and play another diamond. Here, East (who has discarded three clubs) takes that trick and leads another heart. Declarer ruffs with his last trump and cannot do better than cash dummy’s top clubs. However, he has only nine tricks: six spades, one diamond and two clubs. Better is to cash the diamond ace at trick three and continue with a diamond to dummy’s queen. East takes that trick and leads a heart, but South ruffs and plays another diamond, establishing his 10th trick in the suit. Yes, East can try a fourth heart,

Dear Reader: Vicks, as well as store and other generic forms of mentholated chest rubs, has been used successfully by many of my readers for a variety of conditions, in-
cluding nail fungus, plaque psoriasis, seborrheic keratoses, ringworm, neuropathy pain and more. Several have written asking why this works, and to be honest, I don’t know; I’m not really concerned with the why, just that it is inexpensive, safe and effective. Campho-Phenique is a common over-the-counter product. It is primarily used to treat cold sores but may also be helpful for insect bites. I am not sure what you mean by “Campho-Phenique is still available at my drugstore in its pure form.” Campho-Phenique is a prepared product. The active ingredients are camphor and phenol. Inactive ingredients include colloidal silicon dioxide, eucalyptus, glycerin and light mineral oil. Pure camphor or camphor oil should not be applied directly to skin. CamphoPhenique itself contains less than 11 percent camphor and even at that level can be irritating to the skin of sensitive individuals. I can neither discourage nor encourage the use of the Campho-Phenique (or any generic or store brand of this product) as an alternative to a mentholated chest rub simply because I don’t know enough about it. If any of my readers have tried it for nail fungus or would like to, I ask that you let me know your results and any pros and cons you experience. I will print an update when I have received sufficient reader feedback.

Dear Dr. Gott: A columnist in my local paper claimed that you had endorsed Vicks VapoRub for treatment of nail fungus. She thought that the thymol found in the petroleum jelly was the answer. Several months ago, I tried Vicks on my minor case of nail fungus, with some success noted. My last experience with the smell of the vapors from this concoction was more than 30 years ago, when my children were young. I know the smell mostly DR. PETER comes from the euGOTT calyptus oil; however, it brought back another, even older memory of when I was a child and my mother would put Campho-Phenique on a cold sore. Sure enough, camphor is one of the active ingredients in Vicks VapoRub. Much to my surprise, Campho-Phenique is still available at my drugstore in its pure form. Applied with a cotton swab, the camphor oil penetrated easily under and around the nail. Twice a day, and in very short order, my nail was clear. I would recommend using the active ingredient, camphor, full strength rather than dealing with the petroleum jelly. Is this safe?

Restrictor plates a tag-team match or 5 mph,” Kenseth said. “You don’t know what’s going on. If he makes a quick move and you’re not ready for it, that’s how people get spun out. Their car is moving one way and you don’t know where they’re going.” Kenseth liked the old way better. Cars lined up in much larger packs and not quite so close together. A driver could always pop out of line to make a run for the lead, assuming other cars went along with him to provide the necessary drafting help. If not, he’d fall back like he was standing still. “At least you can kind of control your own destiny and you can kind of draft a little bit,” Kenseth said.

TALLADEGA, Ala. — Jimmie Johnson didn’t mind a little tag teaming. Of course, he won the race. Matt Kenseth thought it was a terrible idea. Then again, he was knocked out by a crash. NASCAR drivers have always had a love-hate relationship with restrictor-plate racing, essentially based on how they finish. It’s the same for the fans, who moan and groan about how boring it is — until there’s another nail-biter of an ending like the one at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday. Johnson, with a big push from teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr., edged out Clint Bowyer by two-thousandths of a second to tie for the closest finish since NASCAR started using electronic timing. Hard to complain about a four-wide sprint to the line. Jeff Gordon and Carl Edwards were also in the mix, and the top eight — each of the contenders was accompanied by a pusher — were a mere 0.145 seconds apart. Throw in a record-tying 88 lead changes among 26 drivers (more than half the field led at least a lap) and it comes across as the most exciting event in the history of racing. Johnson certainly saw it that way from Victory Lane. “Statistically, you look at the race, and it looks pretty awesome,” he said. “From where I was all day long, I thought there was a lot of racing that took place. I thought it was a great race.” That might be a bit of a stretch. Before Johnson and the others made that mad dash down the long front straightaway at Talladega, there was a lot of cars just riding around, two by two by two. Drivers took turns swapping the lead in what seemed more choreographed than good, hard competition. In a broad sense, the focus was the same as it’s always been in a restrictor-plate race: stay out of trouble, conserve the car and try to set up a run for the checkered flag in the last few laps. But the tactics are different now.
Drivers have figured out they can go even faster when they pair up with just one other car — one guy leading, the other pushing his back bumper — rather than lining up in long drafting formations that used to be the norm at Talladega and Daytona, the two high-banked tracks where horsepower-reducing devices are required on the carburetor to keep speeds from getting over 200 mph. Now, you’ve got rivals swapping radio frequencies before the race and cutting deals out on the track to pair up. You’ve got drivers actually waiting in the pits for their partner so they can back out together. You’ve got drivers such as Earnhardt essentially giving up a chance to win in order to push another guy across. Is this really racing? Again, it depends on who you ask. Kenseth was eliminated in one of the crashes Sunday, all of them caused by a pushing car bumping the pushee a little too hard, leading to a spin that took out innocent bystanders. Not surprising, since it’s impossible for the guy in the back to see anything except the car he’s helping along. “You’re pushing somebody as hard as you can and you can’t see what’s in front of him, so you don’t know if he’s catching somebody at 30 mph

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER Wet weather will persist across the Central US on Tuesday, as a low pressure system sweeps eastward through the region. The system will start the day centered over the Central Plains, and move into the Midwest by evening. Flow around this system will pull more warm and moist air northward from the Gulf of Mexico, which will create favorable conditions for thunderstorm activity. The northward flow of warm air will also produce a warm front that will extend up the Ohio River Valley and into New England. Periods of heavy showers and thunderstorms will develop along the warm front, while severe storms may pop up over the Mid-Mississippi River Valley and move up the Ohio River Valley. At the same time, flow around the back side of this system will pull cool and dry air in from the North. This will push a cold front eastward through the Southeast, moving from eastern Texas and into the Gulf states. This will also bring strong winds to the Southern US, with wind gusts up to 35 mph. The combination of dry air and strong winds will heighten fire threats over the Southern Plains. In the West, expect a break in wet weather, as well as warmer temperatures, as a mild ridge of high pressure builds behind a eastward moving trough of low pressure. Expect a few patchy morning clouds with Spring temperatures returning to the Pacific Northwest and California.

Price, Lopez dominate White Sox Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — David Price allowed four hits in eight dominant innings and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the slumping Chicago White Sox 5-0 on Monday night. Price (2-2) struck out nine and walked two. The left-hander entered 0-4 with a 4.88 ERA in four starts against the White Sox. Felipe Lopez homered and drove in three runs, helping Tampa Bay win for sixth time in seven games. Ben Zobrist had a two-run homer. Edwin Jackson (2-1) gave up four runs and 11 hits in seven innings for the White Sox, who have lost five in a row. Jackson, while with Arizona, walked eight during a 149-pitch no-hitter against Tampa Bay at Tropicana Field last June 25. Joel Peralta pitched the ninth to complete the four-hitter. Red Sox 9, Blue Jays 1 BOSTON — Daisuke Matsuzaka pitched one-hit ball for seven sharp innings, Jed Lowrie got four more hits and the Red Sox extended their winning streak to three games with a win over the Blue Jays. Matsuzaka (1-2) gave up a clean single to center to Jose Bautista with two outs in the first. The Red Sox righty walked Travis Snider with two outs in the second, then set down his final 16 batters. In his previous start, Matsuzaka allowed seven runs in two innings. Yunel Escobar homered off Tim Wakefield in the ninth for Toronto’s other hit. Lowrie homered, and now has 15 hits in his last 24 at-bats. Kevin Youkilis and Jacoby Ellsbury also homered. Twins 5, Orioles 3 BALTIMORE — Francisco Liriano took a two-hitter into the seventh inning, and the Twins beat Baltimore to extend the Orioles’ losing streak to eight games. Drew Butera had a career-high three RBIs for the last-place Twins (6-10), who

CINCINNATI — Reds pitcher Mike Leake was arrested on a shoplifting charge at a downtown department store Monday, accused of trying to steal six shirts with a total value of $59.88. The 23-year-old starter was booked at the Hamilton County Justice Center on a first-degree misdemeanor charge of shoplifting. It carries a maximum of 180 days in jail. He was arrested about two hours before Cincinnati pitchers were expected at Great American Ball Park to take batting practice before the final game of a series against Pittsburgh. Leake started and got the victory in an 11-2 win over the Pirates on Saturday. Leake said in a statement released by the Reds that his attorney told him not to discuss the arrest. Leake apologized to his family, to the club and to fans “for this distraction.” The Reds issued a statement saying, “We do not condone behavior of the type alleged, which is wholly inconsistent with the principles of this organization and our community and is detrimental to the positive direction we seek to follow. When the legal process has been completed, we will handle this matter internally.” Police arrest reports said Leake removed the price tags from six American Rag T-shirts at a Macy’s store and tried to leave without paying for them.

tampa Bay’s sam Fuld has neither been stopped nor contained so far this season. He went 4-for-4 on Monday to go along with this diving catch. have won two in a row for the first time this season. Liriano (1-3) gave up two runs, five hits and five walks in 71⁄3 innings. Matt Capps worked the ninth for his second save — the second in two games — despite allowing a pinch-hit solo homer to Luke Scott. Capps took the closer role from Joe Nathan, who blew two save opportunities last week at Tampa Bay. Orioles starter Chris Tillman (0-2) permitted three runs and six hits in 6 2-3 innings. It was decent performance, but he got little support from an offense that has scored only 19 runs during the eight-game skid.
Rangers 7, Angels 1 ARLINGTON, Texas — C.J. Wilson struck out nine in seven strong innings and the Texas Rangers returned home with a victory over the AL West rival Los Angeles Angels on Monday night. Adrian Beltre homered for the second straight night and Mitch Moreland drove in three runs. Ian Kinsler snapped an 0-for-19 slide with a pair of extra-base hits before scoring on a suicide squeeze by Elvis Andrus, who had been in an extended slump before his three hits. The Rangers, back from a nine-game road trip, had lost four of five, and Los Angeles won five in a row coming in.
Lincecum too much for Rockies at Coors four-game lead over San Francisco in the NL West, but righthander Esmil Rogers (2-1) allowed eight runs and six hits over three innings in just the second loss by a Rockies starter this season. Brewers 6, Phillies 3, 12 innings PHILADELPHIA — Ryan Braun drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly in the 12th inning and the Brewers beat the Phillies. Brandon Kintzler (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings to earn his first win in the majors. The NL East-leading Phillies rallied against closer John Axford in the ninth, tying it at 3 on pinch-hitter Pete Orr’s RBI single with one out. But the Brewers held on and snapped a three-game losing streak to become the fifth straight team to beat Philadelphia in a series opener. The Phillies haven’t lost a series, however. Rickie Weeks led off the 12th with a walk against Kyle Kendrick (0-1). Carlos Gomez

SALISBURY POST
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
DENVER — Tim Lincecum and the San Francisco Giants sure weren’t complaining about the humidor Monday night. Lincecum, the two-time Cy Young Award winner who led the Giants to the World Series title six months ago, took a no-hitter into the seventh inning at Coors Field and San Francisco routed the Colorado Rockies 8-1. Spotted an early eight-run cushion thanks to homers by Pat Burrell, Nate Schierholtz and Freddy Sanchez, Lincecum cruised through Colorado’s lineup, dominating baseball’s best team over the season’s first 21⁄2 weeks until Carlos Gonzalez broke up his no-hit bid with a clean single in the seventh. Lincecum (2-1) allowed one run and three hits over 72⁄3 spectacular innings. He walked three, struck out 10 and allowed just four balls out of the infield, none in the first six innings. The Rockies entered the night with a 12-3 mark and a
sacrificed and reached safely on Kendrick’s wild throw that allowed Weeks to reach third. Braun followed with a sac fly to deep center. He thought he’d hit a three-run homer and looked frustrated when the ball didn’t go out. Yuniesky Betancourt also had a sac fly and Jonathan Lucroy singled in a run to make it 6-3. Cubs 1, Padres 0, 10 innings CHICAGO — Pinch-hitter Tyler Colvin doubled home Geovany Soto with two outs in the 10th inning to lift the Cubs over the Padres. Soto reached on a fielder’s choice with two outs, then scored from first when Colvin lined a shot to right. Carlos Marmol (1-1) struck out two in 11⁄3 scoreless innings to pick up the win for the Cubs. Chad Qualls (0-1) allowed a run while getting two outs for San Diego. Pirates 9, Reds 3 CINCINNATI — Andrew McCutchen doubled home two runs as part of Pittsburgh’s
biggest offensive showing this season, and the Pirates took advantage of another slow-starting Cincinnati pitcher, beating the Reds. The Pirates scored three runs in the first off left-hander Travis Wood (1-2), the second game in a row that a Reds starter couldn’t get going. Kevin Correia (3-1) gave up four hits during his second career complete game. Pittsburgh took three of four in the series, giving the defending NL Central champs their comeuppance before a crowd of 12,777 that groaned a lot. The Pirates have won their first three road series for the first time since 2002, when they dropped 89 games. Rockies get good news DENVER — The Colorado Rockies jumped out to the best start in baseball, and now they’re getting their best pitcher back. Ace Ubaldo Jimenez comes off the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, and he’ll face the San Francisco Giants.
