‘You couldn’t tell a house was here’ Residents continue to dig out of tornado debris BY SARAH CAMPBELL

Despite days of work to clear debris from their front yard, Nadine and David Potts still have limbs and trees scattered across their lawn at 180 Newport Drive.

Sarah Presson, who has lived on the street for about 20 years, said yards once filled with trees are now bare. “We can actually see each other now,” she said. Presson said the storm’s heavy winds ripped shingles off her house, turned over her well pump, tore the banisters off her front porch and knocked a hole in her dining room. She estimates the total cost of damages to be about $30,000.

SALISBURY — It looks like Mother Nature went bowling on Newport Drive, knocking down dozens of trees in strike-like fashion Saturday. In less than a minute, the Farrington Meadows neighborhood, off Old Mocksville Road, was left almost unrecognizable by a tornado that struck Rowan County. “It looks a lot different when you drive through now,” Not as bad as Hugo When the leaves started resident Don Grubb said.

NAACP calls for civilian review board for police BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

SALISBURY — The Salisbury-Rowan branch of the NAACP has called on the city of Salisbury to form a civilian review board to investigate complaints related to the Salisbury Police Department. Dr. Bryant Norman Jr., president of the local chapter, wrote a letter voicing the organization’s concerns on the operation of the department and its policies. Over the past three years, Norman said, the NAACP has received more than 15 various complaints about the Salisbury Police Department, and he and others have spoken to City Manager Dave Treme and Mayor Susan Kluttz about the complaints. “So, they know what our concerns are,” he said. Norman’s letter listed the following complaints: • “There is no uniform or equitable practice of personnel policies with all employees with the Salisbury Police Department; • “There appears to be a disparity in the hiring and promotion of minority officers in the Salisbury Police Department; • “The Salisbury Police Department does not reflect the demographics of the city of Salisbury, and all officers are not held to the same professional standards.” One particular complaint involves an interracial couple — a black man and white woman — who both worked at the Police Department. The couple came to the NAACP executive committee with an attorney after they had both been fired, Norman said.

SALISBURY — City officials are crossing their fingers in hopes that a grant will pay half the cost of operating the Lash Drive Connector. The future looked grim for the beleaguered public van service, which connects a low-income neighborhood near the Salisbury Mall to shopping, a grocery store and other bus routes. Ridership on the connector has fallen to about 13 people per day, and costs are expected to increase in the next fiscal year. But Salisbury Transit and the city’s Public Services Department suggested applying for a Targeted Transit Assistance Program Grant. “It’s a tremendous opportunity,” said Rodney Harrison, director for the Salisbury Transit System. If approved, the federal grant will pay

Hurricane Hugo struck the area in 1989. One tree struck their home, causing minor damage to the gutter. “We’re one of the lucky ones,” Linda said. About four of their trees were knocked down during the storm. And Ron said the couple won’t be taking any risks in the future. “We had some trees cut down a few years ago, and there might be a few more coming down now,” he said.

A familiar thud Nadine Potts was sitting in her living room when she heard a familiar sound that brought her to her feet. It had been more than three decades since a single tree struck her house at 180 Newport Drive, but the loud thud she heard Saturday was a vivid reminder. But it wasn’t one tree this time. It was six. By the time Potts reached the downstairs area where her husband David was, the tornado had passed. “There was absolutely no warning,” she said. ‘There wasn’t time to get scared, wasn’t time to react.” When the couple opened their front door, all they saw

NAACP FROM 1a The firings were flawed, Norman argued, because they were based on a policy that apparently doesn’t exist. “They were saying that because he outranked her, that violated the policy manual,” Norman said. “I went through the policy manual I downloaded, and I didn’t see anything about that. “It’s not clarified in the policy manual.” Norman said the woman was later reinstated. The NAACP, or National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, also says Salisbury police officers “have the privilege to act as they choose” when dealing with city residents. Bryant’s letter says many face what he called the “catch all” charge of resisting arrest when they question officers. Other complaints received by the NAACP include the case of Felicia Gibson, who was arrested when she didn’t comply with an officer’s order

to stop videotaping a traffic stop from her front porch. Gibson was convicted of obstructing an officer. “There are a lot of instances that have gone down over there,” Norman said. “We appreciate the police, but the thing is, a lot of things have been done, and hasn’t been transparent because the police investigate themselves. “I don’t care what the situation is, it always comes back that they acted in their parameters of duty. That’s not always true.” Salisbury Police Chief Rory Collins said Tuesday he’s never received any formal notification from the NAACP about the allegations cited, and he wasn’t aware of the organization’s concerns until a Post reporter gave him a copy of the letter. “There’s a lot of questions that I have, and, to me, it was rather vague, and I’m not sure specifically what Mr. Norman is alluding to,” Collins said. Collins said the alleged “racial disparities” in the letter is “opposite” of how he operates as chief. “Whatever I can look into

ter Saturday’s storm would have been much harder without a little help from his neighbors. He said although highway crews were there to remove debris, each homeowner had to find ways to get the limbs to the end of their driveway. “Everybody has helped everybody,” he said. “You just can’t beat neighbors when it comes down to it.” Sarah Presson said the entire neighborhood has banded

together to get the area back to normal. “We’ve worked like dogs for two days to clean up this place,” she said. Nadine said the day after the tornado hit, a woman and her daughter went through the neighborhood passing out bottled water and doughnuts to those working. “Folks have been asking what they can do,” she said. “Food and water are really the big need for the people out

Sometimes I can speak, just depends on personnel laws and circumstances.” Collins said he is unfamiliar with civilian review boards but plans to research them further and make an official statement about the NAACP’s request. He said the department has a grievance system in place and goes through different steps and panels “for it to be reviewed and make sure the decisions are sound and actions taken are appropriate.” Collins said, though, that because the concerns of the NAACP are “very vague,” it doesn’t give him “much to look into.” “And I would love the opportunity to know more about what the letter is referring to.” Kluttz said the idea of a citizen review board has been proposed several times since she’s been mayor, usually after a high-profile incident has occurred.

Lowman said when he arrived at their home Sunday to lend a hand, he was shocked at what he saw. “You couldn’t tell a house was here,” he said. “The trees were in here so tight you couldn’t even see it.” David said friends, family, neighbors, lodge members and fellow church members from First Presbyterian Church have also pitched in throughout the past several days. “Saws ran from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday,” Nadine said. The N.C. Division of Highways began working to clear the debris from the roadway Saturday after the tornado passed. “We opened the road up Saturday and got it to where traffic could get through,” said John Thomason, road maintenence supervisor for the Rowan County branch of the Department of Transportation. “It was impassable until we got here.” Thomason said his crews will continue clearing the road today. “They have taken away an amazing amount of debris,” Nadine said.

EASTER STAYCATION With pump prices rising, folks look to stay in town for holiday B Y S COTT J ENKINS

andy mooney/SALISBURY POST

Rowan County offers several options for staycations, like Patterson Farm, the N.C. Transportation Museum, Lazy 5 Ranch and Dan Nicholas Park. Hiking up Dunn’s Mountain to take in the view — on a clear day, you can see downtown Charlotte — and walking some of the 4 1⁄2 miles of trails on 200 acres at Eagle Point, which are two free ways to get back to nature. Dan Nicholas offers a playground, splash pad, nature center, walking trails and more at no charge. The park charges fees for the petting barn, gem mining, putt putt golf, train rides and other activities. After getting out on the farm and into nature, Meacham said, a family can spend an affordable day in downtown Salisbury. Among the possible activities are a walking tour of the new sculpture show around town, more art indoors at Waterworks Visual Arts Center and a history lesson at Rowan Museum. And being in Salisbury on a warm spring afternoon is a good excuse to indulge in some ice cream at Spanky’s, he said, after grabbing a bite at one of many

downtown restaurants such as lunchtime favorite Hap’s. “There’s nothing like grabbing a hot dog at Hap’s, which is very affordable,” Meacham said. If you’re in the city after dark on April 29, you might see some of Salisbury’s former residents. At least, you can be entertained with stories about the ones still hanging around what was once called the “wettest and wickedest” town in the state on the Downtown Salisbury Ghost Walk. It’s $10 for adults and $5 for students. Kids younger than 5 get scared free. He also recommends looking to Spencer, where planes, trains and automobiles — and well-preserved examples of other modes of getting around — await at the N.C. Transportation Museum, along with information on the history of transportation. “And get in now, before there is a ticket price to get into the museum,” Meacham said. The museum doesn’t charge for its

exhibits but might have to start because of looming state budget cuts. And save some time to explore, because Rowan has plenty of hidden gems, Meacham said. One is the Price of Freedom Museum on Weaver Road, which displays military artifacts and is dedicated to men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces. Another is the village of Gold Hill, a gold rush town that’s now a mother lode of history and culture with a 70-acre historic theme park and new shops in the old buildings. “That’s worth exploring, and getting into the community as well,” Meacham said. For those thinking of a staycation next week, there are plenty more things to see and do in Rowan. For details, log on to the Salisbury-Rowan County Convention and Visitors Bureau website at www.visitsalisburync.com. Contact Scott Jenkins at 704797-4248.

The event featured culinary specialist Michelle Roberts. “We are running away from the husbands and children,” Simpson said with a laugh. It was the first time both women had attended.

SALISBURY — A woman has been charged after her stepson told authorities she fired a .22-caliber rifle at him in order to get him to stop working on his truck. The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office responded Monday night to a disturbance at 10415 Bringle Ferry Road, the home of Sharon Edwards Newling. When officers arrived, they found NEWLING Robert Newling standing by the road. He told them his stepmother, Sharon Newling, was intoxicated and had been shooting a rifle at him, a report said. Robert Newling said he had taken the rifle from his stepmother and placed it in the grass in the front yard. Authorities found the rifle and secured it. When they went to the house, Sharon Newling was sitting on the front porch. She told officers she wasn’t shooting at her stepson, but shooting to make him stop working on his truck, the report said. Authorities spoke to another witness, Roger Newling, then placed Sharon Newling under arrest. Newling, 58, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and given a $1,000 bond.

Squirrels, not storms, tough on Fibrant BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

SALISBURY — Fibrant fared well during recent storms, Director Mike Crowell said. The city’s new fiber-optic telecommunications utility has proven resilient in inclement weather, Crowell said. “People think fiber optic cable, which is make of glass, is really fragile,” he said. “But actually, it’s as strong as copper wire and even stronger.” The only Fibrant service interruption in the most recent storm, which spawned at least one tornado in Rowan County, came when a tree fell and brought down six poles, Crowell said. One Fibrant customer lost service for two days until Duke Energy replaced the poles and the city restored the broadband service, he said. In strong winds a few weeks ago, one pole carrying Fibrant lines went down but no customers lost service, Crowell said. Fifty-five percent of Fibrant lines are above ground and 45 percent are buried. Squirrels more often than storms have interrupted Fibrant service. Four customers have lost service temporarily due to the animals chewing through the cable and into the fiber strands, Crowell said. Squirrels also like to nest inside pole coverings intended to protect the fiber, he said. City crews have started applying a non-toxic squirrel repellant to poles, which resembles cookie dough but smells horrible, Crowell said. So far, it’s working, he said. Fibrant, which launched in November, has 768 customers. Contact reporter Emily Ford at 704797-4264.

SALISBURY — The kids are out of school next week. But with gas pushing $4 a gallon, a good many local parents will be looking for ways to fill up those days instead of filling up their tanks to take the tykes on vacation. That’s OK, says James Meacham, executive director of the Salisbury-Rowan County Convention and Visitors Bureau. Rowan has a lot to offer folks who choose a “staycation.” And with next week’s days forecast to be sunny and in the 80s, it’s a good time to take advantage. “Spring break week, pretty much everything is up and running, which is great,” Meacham said. Most of what’s available to do and see costs not much money, he said. And a lot of it costs nothing at all. He recommends starting the break by taking the kids out to the old ballgame. The Kannapolis Intimidators are playing Friday and Saturday evenings at Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium before taking off on a road trip the rest of the week. One day can be filled along N.C. 150 in western Rowan, Meacham says, by visiting Patterson Farm and Lazy 5 Ranch. At Patterson Farm in Mount Ulla, parents and their children can pick strawberries and take a tour. At Lazy 5, they can get up close to exotic animals. “Those two alone, that’s a great day of family fun for under 20 bucks per person,” Meacham said. He compared that to a trip to Carowinds, the huge amusement park just over the state line south of Charlotte. “The cost of getting to Carowinds, the cost of going to Carowinds, you’re out a couple hundred bucks.” All next week, Patterson Farm will also offer geocaching, hightech treasure hunts where the hunters use GPS devices to search for buried booty around the farm. The cost is $8 per person and $30 for a family of four. For another day full of activity that gets the family outdoors, Meacham recommends going east to Dan Nicholas Park, Dunn’s Mountain and Eagle Point Nature Preserve.

Daughters of Confederacy hold memorial service at symposium The Robert F. Hoke Chapter No. 78 of the United Daughters of the Confederacy conducted its traditional memorial services April 10 during 14th Annual Salisbury Confederate Prison Symposium. The 10 a.m. service at the Old Lutheran Cemetery was held near the 175 Confederate tombstones erected in 1996 by the Hoke Chapter. These soldiers died in Salisbury while as guards, prisoners or patients in the local Wayside and Confederate Government hospitals. The 11 a.m. service in the Salisbury National Cemetery was held near the trench area that was created for mass burials during the fall of 1864. The area, once a cornfield, is thought to hold the remains of 4,000 to 5,000 union soldiers, civilians and political prisoners who died in the Salisbury military prison. In respect to the deceased, the 1867 poem “The Blue and the Gray” by F.M. Finch was read at the Old Lutheran Cemetery by a Union descendant and at the National Cemetery by a Confederate descendant. Soloist Eva Millsaps of Faith sang four selections, and members of the 4th N.C. Regiment (Iredell Blues) and the 88th N.Y. Infantry, Company B, fired three-volley salutes. Wreaths were placed by the Hoke UDC Chapter, Salisbury Confederate Prison Association and GibbonBurke Camp No. 2 of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War. Flower petals were sprinkled on the graves by the Charles F. Fisher No. 73, Children of the Confederacy. Memorial addresses were presented by Ed Curtis of Salisbury, whose ancestor was a prisoner of war at Fort Delaware, and Mark Pearce of Canada, whose ancestor was a POW at the Salisbury Confederate Prison. The symposium concluded with Ed and Sue Curtis leading a Sunday afternoon tour of the prison site. East Bank Street locations of some of the main buildings were pointed out before moving to Fisher Street to show the location of the 2005 archaeological dig with Wake Forest University sponsored by the Salis-

FROM 1a half the $58,200 cost to run the connector, leaving the city to pay $29,100. That’s about $6,000 more than the city paid this fiscal year for 10 months of connector service. About a dozen people showed support at Tuesday’s council meeting for the connector, including several disabled people who said the service is often their only means of transportation. The bus stop nearest Lash Drive is a mile away. Walking that far, especially during bad weather, is a hardship, said Archie Reid, a Laurel Pointe resident on Lash Drive. Disabled people who live on Lash Drive must maneuver their motorized scooters in the street to get to the bus stop on days when the connector isn’t running, a woman said. There are no sidewalks, she said. With grant funding, the Lash Drive Connector would run three days a week instead of two, meeting a request of users who say additional people would ride the connector if it ran more often and was better understood. The expanded route would add more stops, including Rowan Regional Medical Park on Julian Road, RoMedical on Mitchell Avenue and Kohl’s shopping center. The service also would connect with a downtown transfer site, giving riders more options. If funded and approved by Council, Salisbury Transit would operate the new Lash Drive Connector. The nine-passenger van connects residents from Crosswinds Apartments, Lakewood, Laurel Pointe, Hidden Cove and Fleming Heights to the nearby Food Lion and Salisbury Mall. If the city had provided public transportation years ago to the Salisbury Community Park on Hurley School Road as promised, Lash Drive would have regular bus service, said William Peoples, a neighborhood advocate. Council members will decide whether to fund the Lash Drive Connector during budget deliberations.

Also at Tuesday’s Salisbury City Council meeting: • The N.C. Transportation Museum in Spencer requested $10,000 for the next fiscal year. The museum increased its annual request because the General Assembly likely will pull $1 million in state funding. “If we ever needed your support — and we did — we really need it now,” said Roy Johnson, president for the N.C. Transportation Museum Foundation. The museum delivers an $8.64 million economic impact in Rowan County, has no longterm debt and attracts 100,000 people a year, he said. The museum, which will start charging admission if it loses state funding, would use the city’s appropriation to pay for two advertising billboards on I-85 —

that makes wellness a priority, said Karen Ingram, benefits administrator. Employees can see a nurse practitioner for free at an on-site clinic, and the city provides a variety of wellness initiatives. • Council approved the demolition of the house at 307 S. Institute St., owned by Willard Williams of Charlotte. • The Salisbury High School Lady Hornets basketball team was recognized for winning the N.C. 2A Basketball State Championship. • The city will close the 100 block of North Main Street from 12 a.m. Aug. 27 until 6 a.m. Aug. 28 for a Brick Street Live outdoor concert event. • Council approved a lease contract with AT&T to lease about 500 square feet of property at 405 N. Jackson St., at the base of a water tower.

• RowanWorks Economic Development requested $62,548 for next year, a 10 percent decrease. Executive Director Robert Van Geons listed several RowanWorks initiatives that have helped the city, including expansions at Henkel and Norandal, recruiting TurnKey Technologies, expanding marketing for the Rowan County Airport and establishing the building reuse and restoration program. • Rowan Museum requested $10,000. Dick Huffman, chairman for the museum’s Board of Directors, said the museum continues to offer free admission while many museums charge an average of $7 per person. The museum serves thousands of children during the school year and at summer camps and is in financial distress, Huffman said.

• David Post, owner of Salisbury Pharmacy, asked the city to allow electronic signs. Many businesses already have an exemption for electronic signs, including the VA Medical Center, colleges and gas stations, he said, and the city’s sign ordinance has other anomalies. Electronic signs are easier to change for business owners, who type in a new message rather than manually changing the letters on a sign, Post said. • Mary Arey, 415 W. Marsh St., asked Council to preserve the city-owned lot at 615 S. Ellis St. as a passive park rather than selling it as surplus real estate. Eventually, the neighborhood will raise money to pay for playground equipment, Arey said. For now, children who have no other place to play use the lot for exercise and fun, she said.

Egg decorating: simple tweaks, fun new looks BY JENNIFER FORKER Associated Press

There are so many ways to color an egg, and more than one kind of egg to color. Much depends on the decorators’ ages, time constraints and motivation. Do you want to try something new and different this year, or fall back on standard reliable egg-dyeing kits? Even when using an egg-coloring kit, there are dozens of ways to kick the process up a notch. Martha Stewart Living provides a phone app for this, promising 101 extraordinary egg-coloring ideas. The same ideas are on the magazine’s website. They primarily involve embellishing white or colored hard-boiled or blown-out eggs, and most of the ideas use a masking technique: covering some part of the egg before or after the initial dyeing. For example, white or lightly dyed eggs can be wrapped in pretty lace, ¼-inch masking tape, or tiny stickers, such as office-supply dots or stars. Even small leaves or herbs, such as dill or flat-leaf parsley, can be temporarily applied before dyeing, then removed to highlight their splendid shapes. The old standby — rubber bands — also does the trick. “I feel there’s always a million things you can use,” says Marcie McGoldrick, editorial director of Holiday & Crafts for Martha Stewart Living, which offers decorating ideas in its April issue. “That’s the fun part with egg dyeing. You’ve already got so much stuff at your house that you can use.” When working with younger kids, McGoldrick suggests dyeing eggs, then allowing children to embellish their creations with stickers and markers later — like the next day. This idea works well for family parties. Marbleizing isn’t new, but it’s an easy way to tweak an egg. McGoldrick calls it “fail-proof.” You start by dyeing each hard-boiled egg a single color. Then pop up the color concentration of each dye bath and add a tablespoon of oil, such as olive oil, running a fork through the color to break up the oil and create bubbles and swirls. McGoldrick says marbleizing works best when using food coloring. For the first dye bath, add 1 teaspoon of white vinegar and 10 drops of food coloring to one-half cup of boiling water. For the second dye bath — the one with the oil — add another 10 drops of color to increase its concentration. Use two different colors with each egg. Egg decorating isn’t only about dye baths and eggs. Papier-mache and wooden craft eggs, found at craft stores, can be decorated more boldly, with full-on glitter, decoupage, spray paint, beads and bling. More care can be taken to decorate these eggs, and they last longer. H. Camille Smith, decorating and handmade editor at HGTV.com, recommends letting small children use craft eggs “so all of their hard work

Below left: Glitter glitzes up this egg from Martha Stewart Living’s Egg Dyeing 101 app. Below right: The cover of the April 2011 issue of Martha Stewart Living, which includes

She says turquoise and violet are two trendy colors. (To get those colors in a dye bath, try this: Use four drops of blue food coloring and one drop of green to make turquoise; use equal amounts of blue and red — two drops of each — to get violet. You may have to play with these amounts to get it right.) Smith still colors eggs with her mother every year, but they don’t get too complicated. They dip hard-boiled eggs in coffee cups filled with dye baths. “We do ‘em simple; she likes it old-school,” says Smith. How old-school can you go? Amy Gates forgoes the ubiquitous PAAS dye tablets and store-bought food coloring, and dyes her eggs with foods and spices. It’s healthier, she maintains, and fun, like a science project. “It’s a time-intensive thing,” says Gates, 35, of Longmont, Colo. “It takes a few hours, but I think it’s worth it.” A mother of two, Gates has written about her natural egg-dyeing process for several years on her blog, Crunchy Domestic Goddess. In a nutshell, beets boiled in cranberry juice create a rich red; frozen cherries go pink; turmeric equals yellow; chili powder turns out orange; canned blueberries go green; and chopped red cabbage conjures up a rich blue.

The best part? Clean up. “When you get everything done, you can throw all your dye mixes into the compost bin if you have one,” Gates says. To show off your gorgeous, handdecorated eggs, Smith, of HGTV.com, shares a couple of showstopper ideas: • On three raised cake plates, arrange sod. (The real stuff is available and cheap at home-improvement stores this time of year.) Cut around it — do this outside — to fit the circumference of each plate. Allow the dirt to show, or cover it by nesting the sod in colorful tissue paper atop the cake plates. Nestle your

decorated eggs in the sod. You can even pick up a few floral tubes — those things that hold one or two stems with water — and insert diminutive flowers, such as crocus or dwarf hyacinth, for display with the eggs. • Create a display of nested eggs with Spanish moss, available at craft stores, in a low-footed dish. Simply shape the moss in the bowl, allowing pieces to escape and fly free, so it looks natural. Online: http://crunchydomesticgoddess.com http://www.hgtv.com http://www.marthastewart.com

Wet weather dampens turnout for Farmers Market opening BY KATHERINE JONES For the Salisbury Post

The 2010 Salisbury Farmers Market opened with a record number of 29 occupied spaces, an all-time high. This was not the case for the 2011 opening this past Saturday due to the extreme weather that was forecast. There were, however, a good number of vendors braving the windy and wet conditions to provide market shoppers a good variety of produce, plants, meats, baked goods and crafts. Among the vendors present was a newcomer to Rowan County. Neta Monroe moved here from Louisiana when her husband was transferred by the Hefner V.A. Medical Center. Neta is quite creative and displayed some nice tote bags she made by

recycling horse and chicken feed bags. Erica Miller had great strawberries that were grown on the Miller farm. She will have more this coming Saturday. David Correll had several kinds of lettuce, spring onions and some cole crops. Ernest Ritchie of Country Garden brought many plants: annuals, perennials, hanging baskets and assorted potted plants. Bluebird Acres Farm also had a variety of beautiful plants. This coming Saturday I expect there will be many more vendors present. You will be able to choose from several varieties of lettuce as well as spring onions, strawberries, collards and other greens. The baked goods will include fresh strawberry pies, many kinds of bread,

muffins, cakes and cookies. Packaged meat will be available that is from locally grown and pasture-raised livestock as well as fresh eggs. Plenty of crafts along with plants, plants and more plants including bedding plants and vegetable plants. Again this year the market will be accepting debit and credit cards as well as food stamps, WIC and senior vouchers. I encourage you to visit the website www.salisburyfarmersmarket.com to learn much more about the vendors and what they will have to offer each week. There is also a section for your personal shopping list that you might find helpful. The Farmers Market is located in downtown Salisbury at the corner of South Main and Bank streets. Market hours are 7 a.m. – 1 p.m.

Get moving ast week’s column explained why fruit and vegetables are a key component to a weight loss/weight maintenance program. This week we will explore the ways to move more every day to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Weight loss and weight maintenance are balancing acts. In order to lose weight, calories consumed need to be fewer TOI than calories DEGREE used. In order to maintain your weight, calories consumed need to be equal to calories used. Calories provide our bodies with energy for functions such as breathing, digesting food and carrying out the activities of daily life. When we consume more calories than we need, we gain weight and vice versa. Physical activity is important for achieving and maintaining a healthy weight because it uses those calories. The more physical activity we do, the more calories our bodies use. The combination of healthy eating and physical activity are important for weight loss. How much physical activity is enough? According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), adults need at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (i.e., brisk walking) every week and muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders and arms). Or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity (i.e., jogging or running) every week and musclestrengthening activities on two or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders and arms). Or do an equivalent mix of moderate- and vigorousintensity aerobic activity and muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders and arms). We know 150 minutes each week sounds like a lot of time, but you don’t have to do it all at once. Not only is it best to spread your activity out during the week, but you can also break it up into smaller chunks of time during the day, as long as you’re doing your activity at a moderate or vigorous effort for at least 10 minutes at a time. Try going for a 10-minute brisk walk, three times a day, five days a week. This will give you a total of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity. For even greater health benefits, adults should increase their activity to: 150 minutes each week of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity and muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms) or do an equivalent mix of moderateand vigorous-intensity aerobic activity and musclestrengthening activities on two or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders and arms). Physical activity is important for maintaining a healthy weight. It will also help you: • Manage stress • Sleep better • Feel better overall • Improve self esteem • Build healthy bones, muscles and joints • Help achieve and maintain a healthy weight One way to build activity

• Old socks for shoes. We use old socks as shoe covers when we travel. The dirt and germs from the shoes’ soles don’t get all over everything else in our travel bag, and we save money by not having to purchase shoe bags! — Hilda, email

• Carpet for drawers. When we finished our kitchen remodel, my sister-in-law suggested that we line our kitchen drawers with a thin indoor/outdoor carpet. She had purchased an 8-foot roll for less than $20 at Home Depot and had a ton left over. It is a nice gray color, lies flat in the drawer, deadens the sound and is easy to remove and clean. It cuts well with a carpet knife, and it sure beats shelf paper, which is expensive and tears over time, too. — Jean

Dying friend withdraws from relationship Dear Amy: I have been good friends with a woman for many decades. Last year she was diagnosed with cancer and immediately embarked on chemotherapy treatment. I let her know I would be there for whatever she needed, and until recently our friendship didn’t seem to change. She had always been very acASK tive, and we AMY continued to spend time together. I took my cue from her as to whether she wanted to talk about her illness and followed her lead. Last month she got the news that her chemo was failing and that her situation seems terminal, and she suddenly ceased all communication with me — no answers to emails or phone messages. I don’t know her other friends well enough to have contact information, so I don’t know if she has withdrawn from everyone. She does have very strong, close family support in her siblings and grown children, so at least I know she’s not alone in this, and that’s a comfort. But I can’t help but feel that she has abandoned me. Not knowing how she is, and not having contact information for her family (they all seem to be unlisted), I’m in the dark as to whether she’s at home or in hospice or what, and it’s breaking my heart. She has other things on her mind, so I guess all I can do is continue to email, send cards and post encouraging messages on her Facebook page. Any other suggestions? — Brokenhearted Old Friend Dear Brokenhearted: When facing the end of life, some people withdraw from all but a very small circle of people. You are right; this is heartbreaking, but this is what this individual wants and needs to do. If you are in touch with your friend on Facebook, you should also be able to contact at least one of her family

MOVING FROM 8A into your daily life is to walk more. Set a goal of walking 30 minutes at least five times a week. • Walk during lunch break. • Park farther away at work. • Walk with your family after dinner. There are other easy ways to incorporate activity while simply living life, things like vacuuming, cleaning out the garage, washing windows, raking and mowing the lawn, pulling weeds. Take the stairs at every opportunity. It may not seem

members through Facebook to see how she is. Remember that they are also in a crisis moment in their lives. Messages to your friend should be warm and reminiscent. Hospice care is a great gift to the dying and those who love them. A hospice counselor could speak with you, so at the very least you would understand the process in order not to take this personally, and to ease your own pain and feelings of loss. You can learn more and locate local hospice services through hospicenet.org. Dear Amy: I am a 65-yearold retired man. To keep busy until my wife retires, I work part time in a restaurant with people much younger than I. One of these people is a young man in his late 20s. This man gets extremely drunk at least twice a week — usually three or four times a week. I have tried inviting him to various activities that would keep him from drinking. He thanks me and declines. I know his parents are aware of his drinking. They have taken away his driver’s license, and he does not have a car. I have joked about his joining a 12-step program, and I have encouraged him to find outside activities instead of drinking. Is there anything else I can do? — Caring Friend Dear Caring: You sound like a great guy, and you are trying to mentor a younger man. Good for you. Stop joking about 12-step programs. Addiction and recovery are not joking matters. Instead, be a rock-steady example of sobriety and maturity. Tell your friend you worry about him. Continue to invite him to spend time with you. Encourage him to choose sobriety, but know that he will not stop drinking until he is ready. Dear Amy: We have been invited to a 25th wedding anniversary for my wife’s brother and his wife. I was wondering what sort

like a lot of activity, but it adds up. Taking the stairs twice every day for a year burns enough calories to equal more than 3 pounds. Play with your children or grandchildren. It’s a great way for you, and them, to move more. When you begin any exercise regimen, start slowly at first and begin to build intensity. Be mindful of your intensity as you walk.Walk fast enough that your heart rate increases and your breathing increases. Work at an intensity at which you could carry on a conversation, but singing would be difficult. Gradually increase the amount of physical activity

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Jeff Bridges is working on a new album that will be his major-label debut. The Oscar-winning actor has signed with EMI’s Blue Note Records and is working with his “Crazy Heart” collaborator T Bone Burnett on an album that will include original material and the work of other songwriters. A news release issued Tuesday says Bridges was inspired by his work with Burnett on “Crazy Heart,” which earned Bridges an Oscar for best actor and Burnett a best original song trophy. Bridges has been a musician much of his life and has previously released recordings on his own. He first met Burnett on the set of “Heaven’s Gate” 30 years ago when they were introduced by Kris Kristofferson. Guests will include Rosanne Cash and Sam Phillips. No release date has been set.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Rocker Jon Bon Jovi may no longer own a sports team in Philadelphia, but he still keeps the city close to his soul. Bon Jovi returned to Philadelphia on Tuesday to lend his star power to the opening of a new homeless shelter for teens and young adults. The New Jersey native is a longtime advocate for homeless causes in Philadelphia, Newark, N.J., New Orleans and other cities. Allowing young people to fall through society’s cracks “denies all of us their talents and visions,” Bon Jovi told a small crowd at the opening of the Covenant House shelter in the gritty Kensington neighborhood. The facility will house 20 people, ages 18 to 21. Many of them have aged out of the foster-care system or formerly lived on the streets. The shelter will provide a needed bridge to adulthood and independence, helping residents set work, educational and life goals.

GRADUATES & JOB PROSPECTS

A menu for success hile aspiring young business moguls might look to Donald Trump or his TV show “The Apprentice” for entrepreneurial expertise, Bill Austin could teach them a thing or two about success as well. Austin, who was profiled in Tuesday’s Salisbury Post, got his start as a hired hand at a Charlotte McDonald’s half a century ago. Today, the Rockwell resident owns and operates five of the restaurant’s local franchises. Although he may not be a billionaire like “The Donald,” his is a genuine American success story — and, if you’ll allow a fashion aside, his hair looks pretty normal, too. Austin’s story is timely because of McDonald’s campaign to hire 50,000 new workers. It also coincides with the spring college graduation season. This new crop of recession-battered grads could benefit from a down-to-earth inspirational example and a dose of reality about the value of perseverance and working your way up the ladder. According to an Associated Press-Viacom poll, about 40 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 believe it will be tougher to support a family and live the good life than it was for their parents’ generation. A majority also think it will be harder to buy a house and save for a retirement that appears to recede ever-further into the distance, what with rising eligibility ages for Social Security and other factors. Those concerns are well-founded, economists tell us. The recovery remains fragile, and in North Carolina and other states unemployment rates have barely dipped below 10 percent. Yet as the McDonald’s blitz shows, some companies are looking for good workers. And as Austin illustrates, where you start doesn’t determine where you end up. For those who don’t see themselves as golden arches material, there’s still reason for optimism. The job outlook for spring grads is the best since 2007, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Businesses plan to hire 10-20 percent more new graduates than last year. The hiring spans diverse fields — computer and electronics manufacturing, finance, insurance, pharmaceuticals, engineering and accounting. Expect more headwinds if you’ve set your sights on government work or media-related enterprises. That’s not to say it’s an applicant’s market, by any means. Many earlier grads and laidoff workers are also competing for a job. Each collegiate posting draws an average of 21 applications, according to NACE, down from 40 last year. Starting salaries are also stagnant — just like many workers’ wages. So while happy days aren’t here again, the outlook isn’t as dire as some might think. Applicants should adjust their expectations accordingly. And bear in mind, as Bill Austin might tell them, that the first step toward success is getting a foot in the door.

Auto insurance needs redo N.C. system’s flaws penalize good drivers

BY GREGORY EDDS For the Salisbury Post

orth Carolina’s auto insurance system needs an overhaul. Our system, created in the 1920s, was once quite popular across the country. But now North Carolina finds itself in the unenviable position of being the only state that has not left this bureaucratic, unfair system behind. Recently, Senate Bill 490 was introduced to create a framework for providing fairer rates to consumers. In 49 other states, each insurer develops its rates, files them with the government and then implements them independent of one another creating a climate of fierce competition. But in North Carolina, all insurers pool their data and a Rate Bureau files rate requests for the entire inEDDS dustry at great expense and delay. The insurance commissioner reviews those rates then sets a “rate cap,” forbidding insurers from charging premiums above that rate. For this, he is considered “consumer-friendly.” This rate cap creates a real problem, however. We all know someone with a bad driving record. If the premium necessary to insure that person exceeds the premium cap, the insurance company won’t insure them. So, where do they get insurance? Each state has a state-run insurance plan that accepts drivers the voluntary insurance market won’t take or cannot price adequately. Our state-run plan is called the Facility, and it is huge. In fact, our Facility is four times the size of the all the Facility markets in the other 49 states and District of Columbia combined. Experts believe that in a properly functioning regulatory system, a state’s Facility plan should not exceed 5 percent of the total market. North Carolina’s Facility insures 30 percent of our state’s drivers and is the single largest insurer in our state. Surrounding states don’t seem to have the same problem, having dumped our type of system decades ago. Georgia has only 41 cars insured in its Facility, Florida has 283, Tennessee 96, and South Carolina has only two. Compare that to the astounding 1,546,437 cars in our state’s Facility, and it becomes quite clear something is wrong. But it gets worse. The state also caps the premiums for the drivers placed in the Facility, guaranteeing the Facility loses money ever year ... a LOT of money. From 2004 to 2009, the losses exceeded $900 million. Guess where the money comes from to repay those losses? You! Every year, those losses are divided up and added to the premiums of all of the voluntary market drivers in North Carolina in the form of a surcharge called “recoupment.” This year, recoupment surcharges added about 5 percent to your premium but they have been as high as 15 percent in the past. Remarkably, these surcharges are hidden from consumers, and insurers are forbidden by law from disclosing them on re-

Students should be allowed absences on religious holidays

In any contest between power and patience, bet on patience. — W.B. Prescott

A rising question among students lately has been, “Why are we required to go to school on Good Friday?” The Rowan-Salisbury School System states that it is a “snow make-up day” for all public schools throughout the county. This brings up the issue of student rights in the matter of separation of church and state. Should students be allowed to miss school Friday simply because they are of Christian belief? That depends on the opinion of the individual. Should the families of other religious backgrounds be allowed to miss work and school on the holidays of Yom Kippur or Ramadan? Should these absences be counted against the student? A lot of questions have been asked, but the point I’m trying to make is that students should be allowed to miss days of school if there is a letter from the religious leader of the student’s denomination. This letter would directly state the reason for absence. The letter would then need to be reviewed by RSSS. After the letter is approved, the students should then be allowed to participate in athletic events and exam exemptions in terms of days missed. — Spencer Carmichael

Moderately Confused

newal statements. If these surcharges are worth defending, why are they hidden? The insurance commissioner and even some insurers are resisting modernization and will tell you that North Carolina has the nation’s eighth lowest average premiums. “If it isn’t broke don’t fix it” they claim. The consumer needs to understand that the problem isn’t that our overall “average premiums” are too high relative to neighboring states; the problem is how our system distributes premiums among drivers. Here’s our problem: ABC Insurance Co. needs a total of $30 to operate and insures three people. Driver 1 is an excellent driver with a clean record. ABC charges her $5. Driver 2 has a driving blemish or two so they charge him $10. Driver 3 has a DUI and several accidents so they assign him a rate of $15. The average of the three premiums is $10. But the state tells ABC the most they can charge anyone is $11. ABC is forced to drop the premium for driver 3 to $11, but they still need to raise $30, so they raise the premium for driver 2 from $10 to $11 and the premium for driver 1 from $5 to $8. The average premium is still $10, but the system is clearly flawed when the state passes the premiums of the risky driver along to the others. Critics claim SB 490 is just a way for insurers to “raise rates and make more money” or “this is just a way for larger companies to gain market share.” The fact is modernization has always brought about a more diverse, competitive, stable market. Our current system already results in N.C. consumers having far fewer insurers to choose from than any of our neighboring states Insurers take a peek at our bureaucratic nightmare and say “no thanks”. In addition, existing insurers are fleeing the state, leaving fewer choices for consumers. Lastly, we also have the dubious distinction of being the last state that requires your insurer to raise your rates for a ticket or at-fault accident. SB 490 would eliminate the “insurance points system” on all voluntary market policies. If the insurer is comfortable with paying a claim without raising rates, why should the state mandate a premium increase? That decision should be worked out between the insurer and policyholder. The market will determine whether both parties have made a good decision. To modernize or not is a classical political argument. Some believe shifting costs from risky drivers to safe drivers, hiding surcharges, building giant government-run insurance companies, mandating points systems and defending bulging bureaucracies are models for fairness and market stability. Most believe, however, that risky drivers should pay their own premiums, and safe drivers should be rewarded for being careful. Most believe an efficient auto insurance market will attract additional insurers to North Carolina, increase competition, improve service and drive down price while providing more and better choices to consumers. SB 490 will do just that. • • • Gregory Edds operates a State Farm Insurance agency in Salisbury.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

rowing up, “Hallmark Hall of Fame” represented the gold standard of what we would call today “family values” television, except that TV then rarely carried anything threatening to those values. Today, Hallmark’s commitment to quality television hasn’t changed; it even has its own cable channel, which shows films that affirm the values most of us hold dear. This EastCAL er Sunday, THOMAS CBS will mark the 60th anniversary of the “Hallmark Hall of Fame” with a film called “Beyond the Blackboard.” It’s one of those “based on a true story” projects about a young woman (Stacey Bess) who desperately wants to teach, but finds there are no jobs available in her Albuquerque, N.M., school district. There is, however, an experimental program and Bess (played by Emily VanCamp), eagerly accepts the job. There’s a problem, though. She is to teach homeless children in a rundown warehouse. Stacey shows up for her first day of work wearing pumps and carrying a leather briefcase and gets a fast reality check. Based on Bess’ memoir, “Nobody Don’t Love Nobody,” the film could easily veer off into a political diatribe and a call for more government spending on education. It is a tribute to the restraint of the creators that it does not. What it does depict is the power of one person to make a difference in other people’s lives, not with government funds, but with the currency of a loving and dedicated heart. This storyline originally put me off. It is drenched in estrogen and Stacey’s husband Greg, played by Steve Talley, seems largely passive, even irrelevant, except that he keeps getting her pregnant. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that “wholesome TV” takes some getting used to. The mind must purge itself of the sexual and the tawdry to make room for the good. In an interview on the “Blackboard” set in Albuquerque, the real Stacey Bess recalls her first day with the homeless children: “The gentleman who greeted me at the shelter looked me up and down and all his body language was saying, ‘You don’t belong here. This isn’t gonna work out.’ And the truth is, the chance of my surviving at the beginning were just about nil. I mean, I’d never been exposed to poverty.” Stacey Bess is no “dogooder,” who comes to a place she might never knowingly want to visit and then leaves after a few days. This is commitment. This is real. This matters, because she has mattered in the lives of others. “What’s the bottom line take away from this story?” she is asked. “I think the No. 1 thing that Greg (her husband) and I have truly learned is step out of your comfort zone, reach out to people, you don’t have to be sophisticated to love somebody, you don’t have to have grand skills, you don’t have to have a degree, you just have to want to care just a little bit further than what’s expected. We’re not exceptional people. ... I just happened to have an opportunity to help some young people, and I just happened to have a husband and children who supported me — and really, we did it together.” That attitude has inspired “Hallmark Hall of Fame” for 60 years. One hopes that in our cynical and hyper-politicized age, it will last for another 60.

Auction gavel fell too early My husband and I recently viewed the contents of an auction that was to take place in a few days in Kannapolis. After viewing the contents, we were interested in one item in particular. We asked the auctioneer what time he estimated it would come up for bid. He said around 4 p.m. or 5 p.m. He told us that three times before we left. The day of the auction, I arrived at 2 p.m. I was told the item had sold at 1:30 p.m. I just want to know: Where is the honesty and doesn’t anyone’s word mean anything anymore?

Syria ends 50 years of emergency rule; it may be too late BEIRUT (AP) — Syria did away with 50 years of emergency rule Tuesday, but emboldened and defiant crowds accused President Bashar Assad of simply trying to buy time while he clings to power in one of the most repressive regimes in the Middle East. Repealing the state of emergency, which gives authorities almost boundless powers of surveillance and arrest, was once the key demand of the monthlong uprising. But the protest movement has crossed a significant threshold, with increasing numbers now seeking nothing less than the downfall of the regime. “They don’t want to admit there’s a Syrian revolution,” said one protester in the city of Banias, among thousands who took to the streets in several cities and towns across Syria. “The people are not interested in small changes here and there anymore,” he said, asking that his name not be published out fear for his personal safety. Instability in Syria has repercussions beyond its borders. Closed-off Syria punches above its weight in terms of regional influence because of its alliances with militant groups like Lebanon’s Hezbollah and with Shiite powerhouse Iran. That has given Damascus a pivotal role in most of the flashpoint issues of the Middle East, from the Arab-Israeli peace process to Iran’s widening influence. If the regime in Syria wobbles, it could both weaken a major Arab foe of the West and exacerbate fearsome tendencies toward sectarianism and chaos in the Middle East. Instability in Syria also throws into disarray the U.S. push for engagement with Damascus, part of Washington’s plan to peel the country away from its allegiance to Hamas, Hezbollah and Tehran.

syrians pray in clock square in the center of the city of Homs, syria, one day before security forces fired tear gas and live ammunition at hundreds of anti-government protesters. Fort Leavenworth in Kansas in the wake of international criticism about his treatment during his detention at the Marine Corps base at Quantico, Va., the Associated Press has learned. Army Pfc. Bradley Manning’s detention has been the focus of repeated protests from human rights groups and international leaders. His expected move to Leavenworth, which is set to be announced today at the Pentagon, could put him in a new facility that houses inmates with short prison terms or those awaiting trial. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the move has not yet been made public. Manning faces nearly two dozen charges, including aiding the enemy, a crime that can bring the death penalty or life in prison. Manning’s move to a new detention center comes about a week after a U.N. torture investigator complained that he was denied a request to make an unmonitored visit to Manning. Pentagon officials said he could meet with Manning, but it is customary to give only the detainee’s lawyer confidential visits. The U.N. official, Juan Mendez, said a monitored conversation would be counter to

the practice of his U.N. mandate.

Security forces open fire on Yemen protests SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Yemeni security forces opened fire on anti-government protesters Tuesday, killing at least three amid rising international concern over the strategically located nation. The United Nations Security Council met to discuss the deteriorating situation in Yemen, where rights groups say two months of protests calling for the president to step down have claimed 120 lives. A Yemeni government delegation also headed to nearby Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, for talks with the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council over a proposal for President Ali Abdullah Saleh to transfer power to his deputy to end the crisis. The opposition held similar talks in Saudi Arabia Sunday. The country’s opposition, inspired by the uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia, says nothing short of Saleh’s departure would end the unrest. Strategically located at the mouth of the Red Sea across from lawless Somalia, Yemen is wracked by rebellions, wa-

WASHINGTON (AP) — The CIA lifted the lid on one corner of the cloak and dagger world of World War I, declassifying six of the oldest secret documents in the U.S. government archives, the agency announced Tuesday. The documents show top techniques used by spies, generals and diplomats to send secret messages in a diplomatic war that raged long after the guns stopped. The records reveal how invisible ink was used to send word between allies, and spies learned to open letters to read each others’ secrets without leaving a trace. There’s even a document written in French of the German’s secret ink formula, showing the French had cracked the enemy’s code. “These documents remained classified for nearly a century until recent advancements in technology made it possible to release them,” CIA Director Leon E. Panetta said in a statement Tuesday. Recent advances in the chemistry of secret ink, and the lighting methods used to detect it have made the secrets revealed Tuesday obsolete, explained CIA spokesperson Marie E. Harf.

Cuba Communists stick with silver HAVANA (AP) — Cuba’s Communist Party stuck Tuesday with a slate of silverhaired icons of the revolution to spearhead a last-ditch effort to save the island’s sputtering economy — surprising those who took to heart declarations by Raul and Fidel Castro that it was time to give way to a new generation of leaders. Delegates to a key Party Congress picked 79-year-old Raul Castro to replace his ailing brother at the helm, while weathered veterans moved up

to the No. 2 and 3 positions. Three somewhat younger politicians were named to lesser roles in the leadership council, but it remained dominated by men who came of age before television, let alone the Internet. Fidel Castro made a surprise appearance, to thunderous applause from delegates, many of whom could be seen crying as he was helped to his place on stage by a young aide, then stood at attention during Cuba’s anthem. Wearing a blue track suit over a checked shirt, the 84year-old revolutionary leader looked unsteady on his feet as he clutched the aide’s arm, and at times slumped in his chair. He became more animated as the proceedings continued, especially when Raul’s name was read out by an official announcing members of the party’s Central Committee. Fidel was left off the leadership slate for the first time.

Political motive seen in bonuses to health plans facing cuts WASHINGTON (AP) — Millions of seniors in popular private insurance plans offered through Medicare will be getting a reprieve from some of the most controversial cuts in President Barack Obama’s health care law. In a policy shift critics see as political, the Health and Human Services department has decided to award quality bonuses to hundreds of Medicare Advantage plans rated merely average. The $6.7 billion infusion could head off service cuts that would have been a headache for Obama and Democrats in next year’s elections for the White House and Congress. More than half the roughly 11 million Medicare Advantage enrollees are in plans rated average. In a recent letter to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, two prominent GOP lawmakers questioned what they termed the administration’s “newfound support” for

Medicare Advantage. The shift “may represent a thinly veiled use of taxpayer dollars for political purposes,” wrote Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah and Rep. Dave Camp of Michigan. Camp chairs the House Ways and Means Committee, which oversees Medicare. Hatch is his counterpart as ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee. Seniors are among the deepest skeptics of the new health care law. A recent APGfK poll found that 62 percent disapprove of Obama’s handling of health care, as contrasted with 52 percent approval among Americans overall. The poll also found that seniors are more likely to trust Republicans than Democrats on health.

Plan for first offshore wind farm approved BOSTON (AP) — A federal agency approved a construction and operations plan for the Cape Wind project off the Massachusetts coast, clearing the way for work to begin on America’s first offshore wind farm as early as this fall, U.S. Interior Secretary Kenneth Salazar announced Tuesday. Approval by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement was required before construction of the proposed 130-turbine wind farm in Nantucket Sound could get under way. The secretary said the Cape Wind project, which has already received other state and federal permits, could create 600 to 1,000 jobs and that nationwide the wind power industry had the potential for tens of thousands of jobs. “The wind potential off the Atlantic coast is staggering,” but the vetting process for projects to tap it is too drawn out, Salazar said. “Taking 10 years to permit an offshore wind farm like Cape Wind is simply unacceptable,” and the Obama administration is examining ways to streamline the permitting process so it won’t take so long, Salazar said.

SALISBURY POST

AREA/CONTINUED

The general who whipped Stoneman t noon on April 12, 1865, two former North Carolina governors stood at the state Capitol and formally surrendered the building to Union Gen. William T. Sherman. Governor Vance had fled the city of Raleigh and the Confederate States of America were crumbling. The Civil War was virtually over. Earlier that same day, at the break of dawn, Federal Gen. George Stoneman and his troops had captured the city of Salisbury. His hopes of libBUDDY erating the GETTYS infamous Salisbury prison were dashed when he found it was empty. Now Stoneman wanted to make his mark by burning the wooden trestle that supported the rails spanning 1,000 feet over the Yadkin River between Rowan and Davidson Counties. The bridge, set in the shadow of a rebel fortress named Fort Yadkin, was under the command of Confederate Brig. Gen. Zebulon York. York, unaware of the event occurring in Raleigh had awakening that morning as a single bugle cut through the river fog. Rising from his bed roll, he could hear the booming of cannons in the distance as Stoneman’s Raiders met meager opposition at the city line. He knew then that Stoneman would attack the railroad bridge. He quickly prepared his troops and later that day he refused a request to surrender. The Yankee messenger was promptly shot from horse. The fight was on. Minutes later Stoneman’s 3rd brigade under the direct command of Col. John K. Miller arrived at the river. At the first advance toward the railroad bridge, 16 Union blue coats were either killed or mortally wounded. Miller sent back to Salisbury for artillery, which arrived about 3:30 p.m. Now, with darkness falling over the area and their artillery being of insignificant help, the Yankees had defensively dug in from the solid blasts from York’s cannons combined with withering rifle fire. Any efforts to burn the bridge were all but forgotten. The objective now was to save their hides. Being outnumbered in troops by 10-to-1, York had no intention of backing off or giving an inch.

About 7:30 p.m., the Federal soldiers managed to retreat. The rebels had saved the bridge. Stoneman’s raid, which began in East Tennessee 24 days earlier, was now staring defeat in the face. The next day Stoneman rode out of Salisbury in a horse drawn carriage. He had spent the night in a Salisbury hotel, nursing his lifelong health problem, hemorrhoids. But hemorrhoids were not his only pain. York had flawed his reputation. His horse was hitched to the carriage and trotted along behind. York’s victory at the bridge allowed fleeing President Jefferson Davis time to evade capture, and he crossed the Yadkin several days later. York was born on Oct. 10, 1819 in Avon, Maine. His grandfather was aide-decamp to Gen. George Washington during the Revolutionary War and was present at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis following the Battle of Yorktown. York graduated from Transylvania University in Kentucky, and studied at the University of Louisiana. He later became a pre-war lawyer and cotton planter in the state of Louisiana. York was incorrectly referred to as a galvanized Yankee since he was born in the North and was fighting for the South. But he had made his home in the South many years earlier. When Louisiana seceded from the Union in early 1861, York organized a company of the 14th Louisiana Infantry and served as its first captain. He was promoted to major and lieutenant colonel, and fought in the Peninsula Campaign in the summer of 1862. He was wounded during the Battle of Williamsburg. Later he joined Lee’s Northern Virginia Army and was severely wounded in the Shenandoah Valley at the Battle of Opequon when a shell shattered his left arm causing him to be known as “Old One Wing” from that point on. After a lengthy recuperation, York was assigned to recruiting duty in various prisoner of war camps. After the fall of Richmond, Gen. Beauregard assigned him to Fort Yadkin in command of a group of rag tag rebels, in addition to several able subordinates such as Capt. Frank Smith of Alabama and Lt. Henry Clement, a local volunteer, to watch over the railroad bridge. The bridge was considered a vital link for supplies to what was left of the war in Virginia. York had expe-

rience and was available. He was warned that Stoneman may be on his way to Salisbury because the city’s infamous prison presented an enticing target. Many historians have overlooked or ignored the importance of York’s resistance at Fort Yadkin for obvious reasons. While Stoneman and his raiders were devastating the area between Tennessee and central North Carolina, the Petersburg Line broke, the capital of the Confederacy fell, Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered his army, President Lincoln was assassinate and generals Joseph Johnston and Beauregard had entered armistice talks with Gen. George T. Sherman. President Jefferson Davis was at large and plotting a route from Richmond to his home to Mississippi. You could almost say the war was over when Stoneman hit Salisbury. After the war, York returned to Vidalia, La., to find that all six of his sprawling plantations were destroyed. Undaunted, he opened and ran a profitable hotel, the York House, across the river in Natchez, Miss. He also purchased five steam boats and began delivering people, cargo and livestock to rural areas in Louisiana and Mississippi. His boat helped deliver relief supplies to flood victims. York died in Natchez in Aug. 5, 1900, and is buried in Natchez City Cemetery. During the late 1950s, I worked at a service station on “Surretts Curve” in the Town Spencer for a railroad engineer, the late Paul Harrison. Harrison made periodical runs on a mail train between Spencer and Monroe, Va., the outer limits of the Southern Danville Division. He used to tell me that when his train entered the Yadkin River Bridge, he would blow two shorts, and a long and another short on the steam whistle. To most people, it only meant that a train was entering Spencer but to his wife, he was saying, “Honey, I am coming home.” Then, Harrison would say that when he hit the bridge, he let the whistle “scream across the river” then he would give a “ big rebel yell”. He would follow up on his comments by removing his stripped railroad hat and brushing his fingers through his thinning hair and with a smile by saying, “That one was for Jeb”. The place is now called York Hill. Buddy Gettys lives the Town of Spencer where he is a former Mayor and writes for the Salisbury Post.

Recent rainfall fueled a brisk flow that helped the paddlers set an easy pace.

TOUR FROM 1a you come to appreciate that the Yadkin can be more than a lazy, Piedmont, cow-pasture river. Naujoks says that for long stretches below Idols Dam, the river regains a mountain feel so prevalent in the less muddy waters closer to its headwaters. “To me, it’s just as beautiful as the New,” he says. Others on the trip Tuesday identified with what he was talking about. Kathy Naujoks, Dean’s wife, is a graduate student whose Tuesday class was canceled, so she had a free day. “I think it’s been just fabulous,”she said a couple hours into her Tuesday trip, which several in the group took past the N.C. 801 access and went on to Boone’s Cave. The breeze kept the 80degree temperature tolerable, though often it presented a headwind into which they had to paddle. But Kathy Naujoks wasn’t complaining. Spring rains kept the current moving nicely. “You feel pretty isolated out here,” Kathy said. Andy Watkin, an environmental engineer and teacher, has taken this semester off from AT&T, affording him time to play tennis, as always, and join Naujoks for a river leg or two in his kayak. “He’s been having quite an impact,” Watkin said of Naujoks’ work as the first Yadkin riverkeeper. “He’s a dynamo.” Chet Tomlinson works as a wood craftsman at Old Salem. He and other Old Salem friends used to paddle on the Yadkin every Wednesday afternoon — a tradition he would like to get going again. Tomlinson grew up in South Carolina along the Pee Dee River. “It always has been a kind of home to me,” he said of the river, and what he liked about Tuesday’s segment of

What’s ahead On Saturday, Yadkin Riverkeeper Inc. will have an Easter egg hunt at Tamarac Marina off Bringle Ferry Road. The Easter egg event will be held at 11 a.m., followed by a 1 p.m. paddle from the marina to the Bringle Ferry Road portage on High Rock Lake, a distance of 4 miles. Today, the Tour de Yadkin continues from Boone’s Cave to York Hill (9.5 miles). Those wishing to join this

the journey was that he could find places for solitude. “It’s kind of an unappreciated resource,” Tomlinson added. Before her retirement, Laura Phail directed a sales team for Sara Lee in Winston-Salem. “I enjoy being out in nature,” she said. “It’s one of the reasons I paddle.” At a lunch break on tiered rocks, she offered others an energy snack of almonds and cranberries. Dean Naujoks took up Kevin Carle’s offer of a piece of Bojangles fried chicken. Carle, who lives in Badin, operated a daycare center in Albemarle for 41 years before retiring. “Now I get to go on the river — on a Tuesday,” he boasted. Dean Naujoks said it has been amazing, as his trip has

progressed, to see the changes along the river as spring has come full bloom. “To see the whole river come alive like that,” when two weeks ago he and Kathy were camping out and waking up to frost-covered mornings. Naujoks, who kept a daily journal last year, has been writing weekly updates this go-round of what he’s seeing and who he’s meeting. The trip confirms once again that the Yadkin has its warts. But they’re far outweighed by its beauty. During their break on the rocks for lunch, Dean Naujoks and Watkin took flying leaps upstream into the cold water, then drifted back to the group with the current. They could not help but smile. They felt like natives in this foreign land.

Davidson 3 mound, but when he Salisbury 2 stepped to the plate with two out in the bottom of the 10th inning, he was 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. “It was about time I got a hit,” Beck said. Beck smashed a 2-0 pitch from Clint Veal for an opposite-field, walk-off solo home run to left field and the Spartans escaped Tuesday night with a 3-2 Central Carolina Conference win in 10 innings over Salisbury.

Brian Bauk and Beck kept the game scoreless through six innings, surrendering four combined hits before the seventh inning. In the top of the seventh, Salisbury scored two runs off Central (11-4, 5-2) reliever Dillon Hampton, and it looked like those would be the winning BAUK runs. Nolan Meyerhoeffer led off with a double, and when Kyle Wolfe bunted, Hampton tried to get Meyerhoeffer at third but all runners were deemed safe. Hampton then struck out Ian Swaim look-

CHINA GROVE — Cleanup man Joseph Carson 5 Basinger is W. Iredell 1 hot again, and Carson is enjoying the ride. Basinger mashed two doubles, including one that broke a tense scoreless tie in the fourth inning, and the Cougars went on to beat NPC rival West Iredell 5-1 on Tuesday. Basinger opened the season on fire and had 17 RBIs in a hurry. Then he stayed stuck on 17 for several weeks. Now he’s found it again. In his last four games, he’s 7-for-

11 with nine RBIs, including some game-changers. “I widened my stance, and I’m throwing my hands,” Basinger said. “I’m thinking bat-speed instead of power.” The teams will finish the season tied for second behind East Rowan. Carson (12-6, 9-3) has won 10 of 12 after a shaky

start. West Iredell (9-6, 8-3) has just one league game left — with winless Statesville — and it will make the cover of Sports Illustrated if the Warriors somehow lose that one. Other heroes for the Cougars included Sam Williams, who powered a tworun homer, and pitcher Josh Martin (4-2), who started and finished. West Iredell came in batting .341 as a team, but Martin shut them down. “I kept thinking we’d get to that kid,” West Iredell coach Randy Martin said. “But he just kept mixing it up on us.” Josh Martin made one no-

Diaper dandy leads Hornets to golf title Edwards shoots 67 as Salisbury romps BY RONNIE GALLAGHER rgallagher@salisburypost.ocm

Salisbury freshman Eric Edwards looks over a putt during his championship round.

SALISBURY — Salisbury freshman Eric Edwards remembers when he started playing golf. His father, Todd, would hit the ball to the hole and he would putt. “Now,” Edwards laughs, “I can play it all by myself.” The diaper dandy didn’t need dad’s help Tuesday at McCanless Golf Club. He navigated a tight course on a windy day to shoot a 67 and win the Rowan County golf championship by four strokes over teammate Troy Beaver. In fact, the next three golfers after Beaver were Hornets: Roy Dixon (73), Alex Nianouris (73) and Clark Alcorn (76). Alex Lee (78) became the sixth Hornet to make the all-county team with a 78. Salisbury’s team total of 284 was 35 better than second-place East Rowan’s (319). The easy win was a surprise to no one. “Salisbury’s golfers are terrific,” praised Carson coach Bill Moore, whose Cougars were third (332). “It’s good for our players to play against a team that plays as well as they do. The talent pool just gets deeper and deeper, it seems like.” Salisbury returned everyone from last year’s 2A state runnerup but to add Edwards makes this team frightening as the postseason nears. Edwards was playing McCanless for the first time. “For the first time, to shoot that kind of score, is amazing,” Salisbury coach Dale Snyder said. “I had heard about him for three years. He’s as good as advertised.” Edwards started with two quick birdies, saying, “That got the confidence going. You’ve got to hit it in the right spots.” He obviously did on holes 11, 12 and 13, where he recorded three straight birdies. He coasted home with a 3-under score. His teammates loved it, especially Dixon. A 73 would be satisfying to most, but not the defending champ. He started with a birdie, then double-bogeyed. Two birdies were followed by two bogeys.

Salisbury’s Roy Dixon, the defending champ, shot a 73 and tied for third. “Well, it was kinda an up and down day,” Dixon sighed, adding he was thrilled for Edwards. “He’s a great player and a great kid,” Dixon said. Beaver said of Edwards’ win, “It feels great, actually. He’s been playing great all year. It helps our team tremendously.” Beaver liked his finish. He was three-over with six to play but birdied 16, 17 and 18. “The greens are very small,” Beaver said.

MOUNT ULLA — When all was said and done at the 3A NPC boys tennis tournament, West Rowan had five players qualify for the regionals. That sounded pretty good to West coach John Brown. “I expected three of us to go,” Brown said. “Knowing that as a team that all six of us could go, but we’d have to play well. We got five so I think we did a good job.” West, who finished second in the conference to Statesville, had solid showings in the doubles format. The Falcons had a pair of doubles teams win twice Tuesday with No. 4 seed Ben Wilson/Tyler Mullis beat

North Iredell’s Dustin Laney/Ryan McCoy, seeded fifth, 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 in the semifinals to end the regular season 7-0 against NPC foes. “After we lost the first set, we told each other we can do this even though we knew it would be tough,” said Wilson, a sophomore. “We came back and won the last two.” Chris Holmes and Kevin Robinson was the other pair from West to prevail. The two earned a bye in the first round as a 2 seed, then rolled past Carson’s Phillip Wirz and Matt Miller 6-1, 6-0. Holmes and Robinson improved to 93 overall and 9-1 in the NPC. West’s Joel Britton was voted into the regionals in singles play. “I knew that for Mullis and

West Rowan’s Tyler Mullis returns a shot. Wilson to win that they were going to have to play well and they did,” Brown said. Carson brothers Frank and Garrett Thomas won their semifinal doubles match against Devin Smith and Chandler Fry of East Rowan

in a 6-4, 2-6, 6-3 battle that lasted roughly two hours. It marked the first time either Frank, a junior, or Garrett, a senior, had made the regionals.

CHARLOTTE — Getting shunned by national television and the steady diet of 1 p.m. games should come as no surprise for the Carolina Panthers. That Carolina has the NFL’s toughest schedule based on last year’s records is a bit of a head-scratcher after being the league’s worst team in 2010. Blame it on playing in the difficult NFC South. The NFL schedule released Tuesday night — which assumes the labor dispute ends and no games are missed — has new coach Ron Rivera making his debut at the Arizona Cardinals on Sept 11 in a matchup of clubs with the first and fifth

overall picks in next week’s draft. The 4:15 p.m. start marks Carolina’s only game that won’t begin at 1 p.m. and a rare game against a team with a losing record a year ago. The Panthers will host Green Bay (10-6) a week later in the home opener, the first of nine games against teams that won at least 10 games in 2010. After hosting Jacksonville (8-8) in Week 3, the Panthers will visit the Bears (11-5) in Rivera’s return to Chicago, where he played and coached. Carolina opens NFC South play at home against New Orleans (11-5) on Oct. 9 and visits fellow division rival Atlanta (13-3) a week later.

“It’s a pretty difficult course.” “It played tough with the wind,” agreed East coach Brett Teems. “But we love the competition.” East will be back at McCanless today, going for an NPC title. The Mustangs are only three shots behind ;leader Statesville. In the county match, Mason Preslar (76) and Preston Rogers (77) were among the 10 allcounty players. Also joining the elite was West Rowan’s Jake Kennedy (76) and Matt Yates of Carson (79). But Edwards was all the rage on Tuesday. “It’s been a blast,” he beamed of joining the already talent-laden Hornets. “All of the competition has been fun. We have our goals set and obviously, the state championship is our biggest goal. We’ve got it going really well right now.” Dixon may not have won, but he is still the leader of this team. And his eyes are firmly planted on the state title that slipped away on the last nine holes last season. “We want to win the county, we want to win the regional and we want to win the state,” Dixon said. “We’ve added Eric and we’re going for it as a team.” Dixon then told a little story about Edwards. “We played together in middle school,” Dixon said. “He was the second seed — as a fourth grader.” That’s back when Edwards needed Dad to start the hole.

The NBA roundup ... BOSTON — Kevin Garnett sank the go-ahead basket with 14 seconds left, then stole the ball as the Boston Celtics overcame Carmelo Anthony’s 42 points and beat the depleted New York Knicks 96-93 to take a 2-0 lead in their playoff series on Tuesday night. The Knicks played the entire second half without Amare Stoudemire, who had back spasms. Chauncey Billups missed the game with a sore left knee. Garnett hit the decisive jump hook after backing Jared Jeffries into the lane. The Knicks then got the ball to Anthony in the left corner, where he was double-teamed by Paul Pierce and Glen Davis. Anthony passed inside to Jeffries, but Garnett stole the ball and called timeout with 4 seconds remaining. The Knicks then fouled Delonte West, who made two free throws with 0.6 seconds to go.

Blackhawks defeat Vancouver Associated Press

The NHL roundup ... CHICAGO — Chicago coach Joel Quenneville was asked this week if Dave Bolland should even play against the Vancouver Canucks with the Blackhawks trailing in the series 3-0. Why risk using a guy coming off a concussion when the chances of winning a series seemed so bleak? Bolland provided the answer Tuesday night. Emphatically. After missing 17 games, the versatile center was more than ready to play and showed what an impact he can have. Bolland scored a goal and had three assists as

found his form against the punchless Mets, pitching seven sharp innings to lead the Astros to a victory. Michael Bourn and Carlos Lee sparked the offense as Houston won for the fifth time in nine games following a 1-7 start. The Astros have alternated wins and losses over those nine games. Giants 6, Rockies 3 DENVER — Jonathan Sanchez gave up two hits over 61⁄3 innings one night after Tim Lincecum flirted with a no-hitter and the Giants beat Colorado, spoiling Rockies ace Ubaldo Jimenez's return from the disabled list. San Francisco's offense gave Sanchez (2-1) a four-run lead to work with thanks to Pablo Sandoval's threerun homer.

the defending Stanley Cup champs avoided being swept with a 7-2 win. "A huge boost," Quenneville said. "We certainly fed off his presence." With the Canucks still leading 3-1, the opening-round series shifts back to Vancouver's Rogers Arena for Game 5 on Thursday night. Bolland passed a final physical test Tuesday morning. He said he wasn't that rusty. Chicago's Patrick Sharp scored two power-play goals in a chippy final period that featured pushing, shoving, jawing and a fight between Vancouver's Kevin Bieska and Chicago's Viktor Stalberg. "All score related," Quenneville said.

CHARLOTTE — The NASCAR Hall of Fame has added five new people to the list of 25 nominees under consideration for the 2012 class. The new additions are Martinsville Speedway founder H. Clay Earles, 1970 champion Bobby Isaac, 1966 championship owner Cotton Owens, former NASCAR executive Les Richter, and Wood Brothers co-owner Leonard Wood. Richter was elected to the NFL Hall of Fame in February. He moved to motorsports after his football career, first as president of Riverside International Raceway and then as a NASCAR executive. The other 20 nominees for the Hall of Fame returned from last year’s list. The nominees are picked by a 21-person committee. The third induction class will be selected in June by a 54-member panel, plus a fan vote selected on NASCAR.com. • WELCOME — Richard Childress Racing has signed Jeff Burton to a multiyear contract extension. The team also said Tuesday it has signed Caterpillar to continue as sponsor of the No. 31 Chevrolet that Burton has driven since 2004.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL RALEIGH — A Wake County Superior Court judge has ruled that the University of North Carolina withheld documents it should have provided to requesting media outlets covering the NCAA investigation into the football program. In a memo Tuesday, Judge Howard Manning said the school should have provided unredacted telephone bills for head coach Butch Davis, former assistant coach John Blake and athletic director Dick Baddour. He also cited parking tickets issued to 11 players. The ruling is in response to a lawsuit filed by several news outlets, including The Associated Press. • STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Just because Penn State coach Joe Paterno's contract expires after this season doesn't mean he won't return in 2012 — or beyond. University President Graham Spanier said Tuesday neither he nor Paterno or athletic director Tim Curley think about Paterno's work in terms of contracts. Spanier told The Associated Press that Paterno's status has long been considered on a year-to-year basis, and that there was no specific agreement about a transition. Paterno turns 85 in December.

ticeable mistake — a hanging breaking ball that Sam Laws blasted out of sight. But it was the Cougars’ night, and the drive soared harmlessly foul down the left-field line. “Josh Martin just went about his business like he always does and our defense (left fielder Gavin Peeler made a diving catch and a leaping catch), helped him,” Carson coach Chris Cauble said. “We had a whole lot of quality at-bats. Maybe we’re peaking at the right time.” It was a factor that Carson already had seen plenty of West Iredell lefty Sean Grant. He beat them 4-2 in the teams’ first meeting. “He’s good, but we were used to him,” Basinger said. “We knew what he’d throw.” Carson sends a parade of right-handed sticks to the plate. All of them were thinking opposite field against Grant, and they had success. “Carson cut down on their swings and had real good approaches,” Coach Martin said. “Grant couldn’t find his slider. They weren’t striking out.” Going on contact, Basinger was thrown out at the plate on a groundball to first off the bat of Peeler in the second. Carson made its first defensive mistake in the fourth, but Basinger, the catcher, pounced on a potential wild pitch and fired a strike to third base to cut down Garret Bell to end the inning. Carson broke through in the bottom half. Gunnar Hogan reached on an error and raced home on Basinger’s double to right-center. Williams, who stepped to the plate in the fifth with just five hits for the whole season, crushed a two-run homer to right-center on a 3-2 fastball for a 3-0 cushion. “I was calm and relaxed up there, and he threw me three

SALISBURY FroM 1B ing, but Scott Van der Poel hit a fielder’s choice that scored Meyerhoeffer for a 1-0 lead. When Vanderpoel tried to steal second, Central catcher Landon Clark’s throw was not stopped by either second baseman Logan Frank or shortstop Andrew Everhart, then it was again mishandled by center fielder Landon Burkhart. Vanderpoel kept chugging until he crossed home for a 2-0 lead. “You had to feel pretty good about two runs at that point,” Salisbury coach Scott Maddox said. Bauk alternated outs and walks to start the bottom of the seventh, until Frank stepped up with two out and runners on first and second. Frank hit a fly ball to right that was lost in the lights by Meyerhoeffer, and when the ball dropped in Hampton scored. The throw to the infield was picked up by first baseman Chance Bowman, who tried to catch Burkhart going to third, but his throw went past the bag and to the fence, allowing Burkhart to come home for the unlikely two-out tying run. “That’s baseball,” Central coach Greg Peters said. “We gave them a gift. That ball got by our second baseman and our center fielder, and that doesn’t happen often. And I said they’re due to give us one, too, and we just put the ball in play and hoped for the best. “We hung in there and they gave us a gift right back.” Bauk pitched a perfect eighth and was replaced by

straight fastballs,” the No. 8 hitter said. “I stayed back and drove it. It had to be the hardest ball I ever hit.” Kyle Youngo singled in K.J. Pressley to make it 4-0 before the fifth was done, and it became 5-0 in the sixth when Mitch Galloway poked an RBI single to right to plate Brent Black, a courtesy runner. Travis Fetter tripled in a run in the seventh to spoil Martin’s shutout, but Martin kept his poise and finished the job. “Fetter’s got my number,” the Carson hurler said. “He hit a double on a curveball, so I wasn’t going to throw him another one. Then he hit the triple on a fastball.” Fetter couldn’t do it alone though, and, the Cougars celebrated one of their best wins. “It was a good night,” Cauble said. “We beat a good team that’s become a very good rival, and we got all eight of our seniors into the game.”

Veal, who put two on but got out of a jam in the ninth. Hampton, meanwhile, put runners on in each of the eighth, ninth and 10th, but no runner made it safely to third. In the bottom of the 10th, Veal got the first two batters before Beck ended the game. “What was I? 0-for-4?,” Beck said. “I just got the pitch I wanted and finally I got a hit. That’s about all you can do.” Bauk finished with six strikeouts, allowing just three hits and two walks in eight innings, but was left with the no decision. “He did a super job. He didn’t pitch very well against West (on Friday) and really wanted to come back out,” Maddox said. “We just couldn’t get him any runs, but of course Beck had a lot to do with that and Dillon came in and did a pretty good job, too. “We might have been here forever if Beck doesn’t hit that home run. It was a good game. You hate to be on the losing side of it but it was a good baseball game.” Beck struck out 12, walked one and allowed two hits. Hampton, the winning pitcher, allowed four hits in four innings, fanning four. • NOTES: Spencer Carmichael, Philip Tonseth, Bauk and John Knox all had hits for the Hornets. … Burkhart, Clark and Hampton added hits for the Spartans. … In the top of the 10th, Bauk singled but was gunned down by Burkhart trying to stretch it into a double. … Central Davidson travels to Forbush on Wednesday. Salisbury plays in its Easter tournament this weekend.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL NEW YORK — Bob Knight has apologized to Kentucky and coach John Calipari after claiming that several of the Wildcats' players did not attend spring semester classes last year. The college basketball analyst for ESPN blasted Calipari's habit of recruiting players who spend just a year on campus before bolting for the NBA. Knight said in a brief statement released by ESPN on Tuesday: "My overall point is that 'oneand-dones' are not healthy for college basketball. I should not have made it personal to Kentucky and its players and I apologize." The Wildcats went 35-3 during the 2009-10 season, after which freshmen John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Eric Bledsoe and Daniel Orton left school for the NBA.

Spur causes some pain for senior Dear Dr. Gott: My left side hurts me a lot. I went to my doctor, who said it was a spur. He gave me some pain pills to take four times a day. So I am writing to ask whether there is anything else I can do or take aside from this pill. He also told me that I have to live with it the rest of my I turned DR. PETER life. 85 last August GOTT and hope you can tell me what I can do. Thank you. Dear Reader: I’m a little confused about where the pain is. Is it your neck, your chest cavity, your abdomen, thigh or lower leg? The location definitely matters. Because your physician has already diagnosed you, I will bypass other possible causes for left-sided pain.

In general, a bone spur (otherwise known as an osteophyte) is a bony projection that presents along the edge of a bone. Spurs can form on any bone within the body but are often found in the joints. The spur itself doesn’t cause pain but what it rubs against does, causing joint pain and loss of motion. Those on the spine can push against the spinal cord or nerves. When the neck is involved, pain and decreased range of motion may occur. Rarely, breathing can be compromised and blood flow to the brain might be restricted. When the shoulder is involved, range of motion may be quite limited. Spurs are common on the heels and can cause pain when walking. Because of your age, my guess is that you may also have osteoarthritis that has caused a cartilage breakdown. This is not to imply that everyone with osteoarthritis

will have spurs because they can simply occur on their own. However, the possibility remains. Also, you neglected to indicate whether an Xray, CT or MRI was performed before a proper diagnosis was made. There are instances in which a physician can physically palpate a spur, but this should be followed up with radiology testing in order to confirm the diagnosis. It may be that because of your age and medical history, your physician does not recommend surgery. Anti-inflammatory drugs or pain pills are commonly the first step. Options for any surgical procedure will depend on your full medical history and where the spur is located. Keep in mind that even if you are a candidate for surgery, the spur may be located in an area that is difficult or impossible to operate on. In the interim, avoid any activity that aggravates the

pain. Try applying an ice pack to the area several times a day for 15 minutes at a time. If you don’t choose to take the pain pill, try over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory ibuprofen. If no relief is experienced, make a list of your questions and go back to your doctor for some direct answers. If you are still dissatisfied, request a referral to an orthopedic specialist or pain clinic. 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.

Sheen makes cross-country trek for court, stage SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — Charlie Sheen showed Tuesday why sometimes warlocks need wings. The former “Two and a Half Men” star started his day in a Los Angeles divorce court for a child custody hearing, and ended it in Washington, D.C., to perform his stage show. And somewhere in the middle was a hearing in Santa Monica for his $100 million lawsuit against his former employers, in which his lawyers argued for a public

trial. Sheen is seeking custody of his twin sons with estranged wife Brooke Mueller. Their divorce will be finalized in roughly two weeks. Sheen, clad in a black suit and orange tie in court, didn’t reveal the hearing’s outcome, which was sealed by the judge. Mueller left the courtroom smiling and hugged her attorney, but was equally tight-lipped. Across town in Santa Monica, Sheen’s attorneys told a

judge that they want his lawsuit against Warner Bros. Television and “Men” executive producer Chuck Lorre to be heard in a public court and not through private arbitration as his former employers want. Sheen’s attorneys claim an arbitration clause in the actor’s contract is unconscionable, but the studio’s attorneys contend it is valid. The judge in the civil case has up to a month to render a decision. Sheen’s appearance in the

Los Angeles divorce court was relatively subdued, though not without the distinct touches he has displayed in interviews and his stage show. Sheen, who often describes himself as a warlock (among other superlatives), is on a multi-city tour in which he regales audiences with tales of his exploits as one of Hollywood’s top-paid actors. As the judge ordered the courtroom cleared for the custody hearing, Sheen fistbumped a reporter.

In the coming months, you are likely to successfully wrap up two old projects that you’ve been having a hard time completing. However, once they are out of the way, they will make room for two new enjoyable activities. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Make due with whatever you have on hand. Don’t run out and purchase an item that you may never use again, or borrow something from a friend that you don’t know how to use properly. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Enjoy getting involved in something you truly like doing, whether it is a sport, a job or an intriguing hobby. Don’t let anybody burgle your precious time. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Fun plans or big ideas will be of little value to you if you fail to follow through on them. Don’t just talk about what you want, make yourself seek it out. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Resolve to be tactful and considerate in trying to arrange a delicate mater with a friend. Don’t make saving face or always being right an issue; strive to be appreciative of you pal’s feelings. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Timing is always essential when trying to either propose or resolve something. If there is an important matter that you want to bring up with another and the right moment pops up, jump on it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Don’t fall prey to putting off until tomorrow something you can do right now. It’s always a relief to get things off your to-do list and out of your mind. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — You can learn a lot when you have a healthy curiosity about things, but not if you’re merely poking your snoot into someone else’s business. Develop your mind, not your nostrils. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Instead of hounding your family about how things should be done, set a good example and give them plenty of reasons why they should do things right in the first place. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — If you’re merely looking for flaws instead of virtues in people, you’ll find plenty of them, but others will make sure yours are totted up as well. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Don’t wait until the damage is done before you realize that impulsive shopping can cost you big time. Take the necessary time needed when making any purchases. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You won’t win any popularity contests if you come down too hard on others for not doing things that you should have taken care of yourself. Do your duties, instead of delegating them. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Although one of your best assets is your creative imagination, be careful not to apply it in a negative fashion. Use it as a means to dream up all kinds of positive designs and developments. Know where to look for romance and you’ll find it.

It will work in the real world BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

Science-fiction writer Robert Heinlein said, “To be matter of fact about the world is to blunder into fantasy — and dull fantasy at that, as the real world is strange and wonderful.” There are certain plays that will work in the real world — that is, at the table; only experts or players sitting in their armchairs at home would find the best defense. This deal is an example. How should South plan the play in three no-trump after West leads the heart jack? Even if three diamonds would be natural, not a transfer bid promising five or more hearts, North was right to raise to three no-trump. With game-only values and no singleton or void, bid three notrump with a long minor. There will be few deals when five of the minor makes and three no-trump fails; there will be many for which the converse is true. South starts with six top tricks: one spade, two hearts (given the opening lead), two diamonds and one club. He could hope to get lucky in diamonds; or, better, he could take his top diamonds, ending in the dummy. If the queen drops, great; if not, he could finesse in clubs. Best, though, is to win the first trick and to lead the diamond two to dummy’s eight. In the real world, East will win with his queen and fire a heart back. Now South has nine winners. At home, East does not take his diamond queen; he plays low. But then declarer leads a club to his queen. When that wins, he

overtakes his diamond king with dummy’s ace and repeats the club finesse. Here he has nine tricks: one spade, two hearts, two diamonds and four clubs.

Not a great scenario for a team that went 214 a year ago in coach John Fox’s final season. “We play in one of the most difficult divisions in the league and we will try to meet that challenge,” Rivera said in a statement. “Four of the first six games are against teams that were in the playoffs last season, which sets a tone for the season.” The Panthers won’t have to travel for four straight weeks starting with home games against Washington on Oct. 23 and Minnesota a week later followed by the Week 9 bye on Nov. 6 and a home game against Tennessee.

When a Hall of Fame defensive end and one of the most feared players of his generation gives that kind of evaluation, it's safe to say that the negotiations between the owners and the players aren't getting any easier.

The two sides resumed their court-ordered talks on Tuesday after a three-day break, with no sign that an agreement is any closer. The lockout is in its second month and a federal judge is expected to decide soon on the players' request to halt the NFL's first work stoppage since 1987.
