GOLD HILL — A Gold Hill man charged with more than three dozen sex offenses against two young girls, including firstdegree rape, was in the Rowan County jail under a million $1 bond Friday.

Authorities arrested Galen Lee Smith, 40, of SMITH 1175 St. Peters Church Road, Thursday night.

According to the arrest warrant obtained by Rowan County Sheriff’s Detective Clint Mauldin, the incidents took place between 1997 and 2005 and involved two female victims.

At least one of the girls was younger than 13 when some of the offenses occurred, according to the arrest warrants.

Among the charges Smith faces are seven counts of first-degree rape of a child; two counts of attempted firstdegree rape; nine counts of first-degree sex offense on a child; and 14 counts of taking indecent liberties with a child.

According to North Carolina law, a person is charged with first-degree rape of a child when the suspect is 18 or older and the victim younger than 13.

Smith also faces one count of disseminating obscene material to a minor younger than 16. The warrant for that charge alleges Smith made one of the victims watch pornography on a computer.

Smith is scheduled to make his first appearance in court Monday.

According to county records, Smith bought his property on St. Peters Church Road in 2008. He also is listed as the owner of property in Spencer.

ANDIS — Standing on the bank of Lake Corriher watching the birds fly overhead and hearing the geese honking nearby, you could swear you were somewhere in the Great Smoky Mountains.

But this is an oasis right here in Rowan County, and one some have yet to discover.

Beginning Monday, fishing permits will be available at the Landis town hall. Anyone who wants to fish must have a permit or face a $50 fine.

Right now, fishing is catchand-release until the N.C. Wildlife Commission sets regulations and limits.

Fishing’s not all you can do here.

The Lake Corriher Wilderness area — nearly 100 acres of forest, trails and terrain — is also available for anyone who wants to mountain bike, hike, camp or just take a stroll around the lake.

Boat rentals will eventually be available, including paddle, canoe and kayak. No motorized boats will be allowed on the lake in an effort to preserve the environment.

“We want to make sure it remains a wilderness area,” A small said Landis Parks Director Andrew Morgan.

Not only is there no place to launch a boat, tent campers and anglers must also carry their equipment from the lower parking lot of the South Rowan YMCA. A bridge from the parking lot

Elizabeth Fields will be remembered for passion, caring spirit

BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com

SALISBURY — Deedee Wright, longtime civil rights activist and local leader, said she’ll miss a lot of things about her friend, Elizabeth Fields.

But she will especially miss Fields’ laughter.

“Her life was one of giving,” Wright said. “She was devoted to her community. ...

She was quiet in what she did for people, but she would let you know unequivocably how she felt about things.”

Fields, former director FIELDS of the Salisbury-Rowan Community Action Agency Inc., died Monday. She was 72.

Those who worked with her praised her hard work, dedication and passion for helping others.

In particular, those fami-

lies touched by the Head Start program, William “Pete” Kennedy said.

“She will leave large footprints. ... She has been a mover and shaker for our clients,” said Kennedy, chairman of the community action board of directors and member of the Salisbury City Council.

Under Fields’ leadership, the early childhood education agency expanded to serve five counties, Kennedy said.

In addition, Kennedy said Fields’ legacy carries on in the other programs she oversaw which help improve the quality of life of low-income families.

Kennedy said members of the board took time to reminisce and pray at Thursday night’s board meeting.

“We all had an opportunity to share memories we had of her. It was a very emotional meeting,” Kennedy said.

He will serve as a pallbearer at Fields’ memorial service,

So many false alarms may have led some to disregard tornado warnings

BY MARTHA WAGGONER AND M IKE B AKER Associated Press

RALEIGH — For years, Kaitlin Mono heard warnings for tornadoes that never arrived.

When forecasters warned of a potential tornado near her Apex home last weekend, she had only one concern: making sure her outdoor plants were under shelter.

The storm burst into her neighborhood minutes later, toppling a tree onto her while she was still outside.

“We’re not going to spare any expense to try to find out what happened to these two people,” he said. “It’s going to take a lot of work.”

The Susquehanna is a cold river and it is possible Barnes’ body had been in the river since shortly after her disappearance and was only recently stirred up by warmer weather and storms, Sheridan said.

Barnes’ family and friends had raised more than $35,000 in reward money to help solve the case.

Soon after the teen vanished, Baltimore police alerted local media saying her disappearance was unusual be-

Donors helping High Point University reach for more students HIGH POINT (AP) — The recent announcement of $40 million in gifts to High Point University feeds into the school’s 10-year plan to raise and spend $2.1 billion and to define itself as an up-and-coming Southeastern private university.

Three High Point families and university president Nido Qubein, an entrepreneur and motivational speaker, are each giving the school $10 million, the university announced Thursday. Most of the money will go toward a new $70 million health sciences school and the proposed pharmacy school expected to open in 2013.

The projects are part of a dramatic expansion of the 86-

WARNINGS FROM 1a ing to figures compiled by Iowa State University.

Ryan Ellis, a meteorologist with the weather service in Raleigh, said forecasters are cautious because they don’t want to miss a potentially deadly storm. The office has missed tornadoes about 7 percent of the time in recent years.

He said areas such as Greensboro, which doesn’t have close radar coverage, may get even more frequent warnings because forecasters must be even more cautious.

He said the rate of false alarms is a concern that forecasters are always aware of.

“It’s definitely a balancing act and I don’t know if there are any real answers for that,” Ellis said. “You’re always going to have a decent falsealarm rate on tornadoes because of how short-lived they are.”

Ellis also said some people

year-old school, which this week won zoning approval to demolish an Evangelical Lutheran Church to make way for a new campus housing project, the High Point Enterprise reported Friday.

The university has raised $170 million since Qubein became president in 2005. During that time, the university has grown from 1,450 students to an expected 3,800 next fall, while a building boom has expanded the campus from 92 acres to 140 acres. Another 1,200 students are enrolled in its graduate school and evening degree programs.

“We’ve done it all without an official (fundraising) campaign,” Qubein told the Windon’t understand the difference between tornado warnings and tornado watches. The watches are issued even more frequently, further in advance of storms arriving. They typically cover entire regions and are designed to notify people that the atmosphere has the right conditions for tornadoes to develop.

North Carolina counties had a combined total of 571 tornado watches in 2010. The state had a total of 26 tornadoes touch down, almost all of which touched down in just one county.

Kevin Simmons, who researches the economics of natural hazards at Austin College and is co-author of “Economic and Societal Impacts of Tornadoes,” said research found a significant relationship between the rate of false-alarm warnings and fatalities. He said the research suggests that as the false-alarm rate goes up, casualties also go up.

“Intuitively, we can go back to the story we were told as kids,” he said, referring to the fable “The Boy Who Cried

ston-Salem Journal. “It’s been me talking to some families about the vision of High Point University.”

The families of Fred E. Wilson Jr., Earl E. Congdon and Mark A. Norcross were the other ones to give to the university, according to the liberal arts school’s website.

High Point is located off Interstate 85 just south of Greensboro.

Campus officials expect enrollment to continue growing, to 5,000 undergraduates by 2017. The university has a $2.1 billion expansion target and has already committed $550 million to construct 28 new buildings, add 120 new faculty members, and buy the Wolf.” “If warnings occur so many times and nothing happens, people don’t pay as much attention.”

North Carolina’s latest batch of storms carried plenty of warning. The day before, forecasters said it was “setting up to be a text book large scale severe weather outbreak with the potential for widespread damage.”

By midday Saturday, a tornado watch covered more than half the state, with forecasters calling it a “particularly dangerous situation.”

Church fundraiser taps into spirit of giving

BY SUSAN SHINN For the Salisbury Post

CHINA GROVE — Call it the Great Garage Giveaway.

Members of First United Methodist Church are blessed.

So much so that they want to share what they don’t need with those who do.

A Garage Giveaway is slated for 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 30 at the church, 110 W. Church St., China Grove.

Members are donating items to be given away.

Donations will be accepted and money is being raised by youth group members, who will sell concessions during the event.

The event is a fundraiser for the church’s Relay for Life team.

The Garage Giveaway is the brainchild of church-member Jennifer Caraccio. She and husband, Frank, are the parents of four children. Recently, Frank read a newspaper article about a family who was narrowing down the

“stuff” they had to 100 items per person.

Jennifer wasn’t sure she wanted to be that extreme, but it made her think. At the same time, she was involved in a Bible study with a focus of leaving worldly possessions behind.

Hence, the giveaway event.

“The point of Lent is that before we can be filled up,” Jennifer says, “we have to be emptied.”

During this season of reflection, she’s taken 30 minutes each day to clean out closets, drawers and vanities. She made two piles — a trash pile and a giveaway pile. She decided to present the idea to her pastor and youth director for churchwide involvement — and they were all for it.

“If I have something I don’t need and someone can use it, I want them to be blessed by it,” says Jennifer, an executive director for Thirty-One, a home-based business that sells purses and accessories through parties and online

sales. “Whatever monetary value I could have gotten from these items, God will bless me in other ways.”

Frank and Jennifer’s children have donated toys, games and clothing. Jennifer has added baby furniture, a recliner and kitchen items.

Other members have told her they’re also donating clothing and furniture.

Jennifer has told them, “Anything you’ve had a stockpile of and need to get rid of.”

Jennifer says the “best and worst thing” about her house is the amount of storage space it has. She’s been working to whittle down what she doesn’t use or need for the giveaway.

She also notes that nonmembers can drop off items on the day of the sale. You may also arrange for items to be picked up by calling the church office at 704-857-9713.

She emphasizes that this event is not meant for resellers. “We invite people to come and take what they need.”

Jennifer’s daughter Brianna, an eighth-grader, is donating clothing, jewelry, stuffed animals, toys and unused toiletries.

Brianna says she’s glad to get rid of it.

Hope Oliphant, the church’s director of youth and children’s ministries, has challenged her four children, ages 7 to 15, to give away 30 items each.

“This is a good way to prepare your heart for Easter and get your mind on God,” she says. “We are cleaning out things not to put a focus on earthly things but a focus on God.” Hope says she has noticed the increase in popularity of consignment shops. “That tells you there’s a need.”

“It’s a good conversation to have,” Jennifer says, “to give to people who are less fortunate and to give from the heart.”

Carrying the message of the cross

Man undertakes spiritual journey

BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com

n Good Friday, Tim Jones had a cross to bear.

About three months ago, Jones envisioned building a cross and carrying it through the streets of Salisbury as a sign of his deep Christian faith.

He finally shared the idea with his father, Randy, at a recent Thursday night Bible study, and the father and son decided to build the cross this past Monday in Randy’s garage.

They bolted together the 10-foot by 6-foot pieces of lumber and Randy, the engineer in the family, attached some mower wheels on the base. Tim would carry the weight of the cross on his shoulders, while the bottom rolled along the sidewalks

O

and pavement.

After finishing work Friday at the Salisbury National Cemetery next to the Hefner VA Medical Center, 32-yearold Tim went home, grabbed a bite to eat and prayed with his parents before leaving their Majolica Road home with the cross in tow.

“I just want to remind people JONES of Jesus and what he did for them on the cross,” Jones said.

He had it in his mind to at least make it to the Square in Salisbury. He wore a longsleeved shirt, a ballcap and gloves and made much of his roughly 5-mile journey in a light rain.

Some people stopped.

Others honked. Some gave him the thumbs-up sign.

“Some even asked me what I was doing,” Jones said.

Overall, it was a positive experience — a “stepping out in faith,” he added.

Jones estimated the cross weighed “every bit of 60 pounds,” and he acknowledged a sore shoulder by the time he reached the Square in just under two-and-a-half hours.

Jones had told his dad he would call to be picked up when he was finished Friday night, but he decided at the Square he still had a few steps left in him.

“I feel great,” he said, and he was off again.

Potential threats from weekend storms could still be overhead RALEIGH — The N.C. Division of Forest Resources is encouraging people to inspect their trees for damage after last weekend’s storms.

Although trees may look severely damaged, restorative pruning and care may increase the chance of trees regaining their original health and beauty. If the basic structure of the tree is intact, the tree may be salvageable.

Damaged trees should be inspected by a tree-care professional. Hiring a reputable tree-care service with a certified arborist is the best solution to professionally restore, maintain and prevent future damage to trees. Most tree work should be done only by those trained and equipped to work safely in trees.

Arborists are knowledgeable about the needs of trees and are trained and equipped to provide proper care. Local tree companies will often note their professional affiliation in their yellow pages advertisement.

To learn more about certified arborists in your area, visit the International Society of Arboriculture at www.treesaregood.com, the American Society of Consulting Arborists at www.asca-consultants.org, or the Tree Care Industry Association at www.treecareindustry.org.

Tree topping is not a viable solution to storm damage recovery or prevention. The sprouts that occur after topping are fastgrowing, weakly-attached branches that are more likely to break off in a future storm.

If you choose to do the clean up yourself, you should work with a partner, particularly when operating equipment such as chainsaws.

If you are not familiar with chainsaws, you should consult a professional for your tree work.

If you use a chainsaw, follow these guidelines: • Work only on the ground and always use personal protective equipment such as a hard hat, eye protection, chainsaw chaps and appropriate footwear.

• Keep both hands on the chainsaw handle at all times.

• Use caution when cutting with the tip of the chainsaw to avoid kickback.

• Cut at waist level or below.

• Before any work begins, survey the site for hazards such as downed electrical wires, leaning trees or broken limbs hanging in the canopy.

• If electrical wires are an issue, do not attempt the tree work.

• Contact your utility company and let them remove the electrical wires.

For advice on proper tree care and tree assessment following a storm, contact Rowan County’s Division of Forest Resources office at 704-216-8970.

You can also find more information by logging on to http://dfr.nc.gov/ and following the links to “Why Hire an Arborist” under the Urban and Community Forestry heading.

Woman accused of $1.5 million fraud CHARLOTTE (AP) — A Gaston County woman has been arrested and accused of defrauding Medicaid of nearly $1.5 million.

The Charlotte Observer reported that Erika Holland, 41, of Mount Holly was arrested Thursday after being indicted by a federal grand jury on a charge of health care fraud and five counts of money laundering.

Holland is accused of using the money to buy a home, a time share in Florida and three vehicles. She’s accused of working with two others to submit fraudulent claims to the Medicaid program.

Federal investigators say Holland was not licensed to provide the claimed services and did not employ any therapists who were licensed to provide the services.

Man gets life for stabbing mother, daughter HALIFAX (AP) — A man has been sentenced to life in prison after admitting he stabbed a mother and daughter during a robbery last May in Roanoke Rapids.

The Daily Herald of Roanoke Rapids reports that 29-year-old Tony Gorham agreed to plead guilty Thursday to two counts of first-degree murder after prosecutors agreed to not seek the death penalty.

Authorities say Gorham

broke into 92-year-old Maxine McCrary’s home and stole $200.

He stabbed McCrary and her daughter, 65-year-old Nancy Burgess, with a kitchen knife. Burgess was visiting Roanoke Rapids for Mother’s Day. A judge sentenced Gorham to two consecutive life sentences.

Gorham’s girlfriend still faces a charge of being an accessory in the case.

DA steps aside in nursing-home case CARTHAGE (AP) — The district attorney prosecuting a man charged with killing eight people at a Carthage nursing home in 2009 has removed herself from the case because she previously represented the defendant’s mother.

Robert Stewart faces a possible death penalty in the shooting that killed a nurse and seven patients at Pinelake Health and Rehabilitation Center. Two others were injured.

Moore County chief pros-

ecutor Maureen Krueger defended Mary Frances Stewart in 2004 when she was charged with threatening her son’s life.

Robert Stewart’s attorneys said Krueger’s past relationship with the defendant’s mother gave her access to information that could unfairly be used against their 47-year-old client.

Assistant prosecutor Peter Strickland will replace Krueger on the case with help from another assistant.

Witnesses: jogger resembled wife found dead RALEIGH (AP) — Defense witnesses in the trial of a Cary man accused of killing his wife say they saw her out jogging on the morning she disappeared.

Bradley Cooper told police his wife went jogging July 12, 2008, and never returned. Cary police charged Cooper with murder, accusing him of killing Nancy Cooper during the night of July 11.

The News and Observer

reports that witnesses testified Thursday about encountering a jogger who looked like Nancy Cooper about 7 a.m. on the day she disappeared. Rosemary Zednick said she called police the next day after learning about the missing woman, but police didn’t contact Zednick until October 2008.

Other witnesses reported seeing a suspicious van in the neighborhood on July 12, 2008.

CLINTON (AP) — The short walk to the Coharie Country Club pro shop takes George Williams through a narrow laundry room, out a screened back door, down four brick steps and past a Cub Cadet riding mower that the 93-year-old retiree uses to cut his own grass.

The first tee box sits just beyond the entrance to his horseshoe-shaped driveway, leaving a putting green as the last obstacle in Williams’ pursuit of a golf cart.

Granted access to one, he drives back home to pick up his clubs and returns to the spot where another afternoon round is set to begin.

Unwavering enthusiasm for a maddening game has helped Williams continue to experience what, to this point, has been a long and healthy life.

“You need to get up looking forward to doing something that day,” Williams says. “You need to keep your mind active as well as your body.”

Williams reads late into the night and rarely goes to bed before 12:30 a.m. A talented golfer, he says he hasn’t posted a score higher than his age in 10 years.

He reveals that he shot a 73 one Sunday at Coharie, but there’s one problem: Randy Wiggins, his playing partner, contends it was actually a 72.

“He’s one of a kind,” Wiggins says. “You’ll never see another one.”

Born in 1917, Williams spent almost six years in the Navy, reaching the rank of lieutenant commander and serving in the South Pacific during World War II. He attended law school at North Carolina and was a practicing lawyer for 51 years.

Williams began playing golf as a teenager on a six-hole course across the street from his childhood home in Clinton.

Rather than using tees, he mixed sand and water to create mounds on which to prop up his ball. Putting on sand greens proved relatively easy because players would drag a foot in the path between the ball and hole, forming an embanked chute that behaved like a funnel.

Williams improved dramatically at golf once he completed law school. He won a headto-head match with Billy Joe Patton, the third-place finisher at the 1952 Masters, during an amateur tournament at Patton’s home course in Morganton, and Williams captured 20 club championships at Coharie from 1956-1987.

Williams still wears a ring commemorating the last club title, and he possesses the scorecard from a career-low 65 shot at the age of 79. Five years later, he fired a 69.

Four silver plates and nearly 50 trophies fill the spacious bookshelf in the living room of the house Williams built in

1961 and now shares with Linda, his second wife.

“All these are so old, I need to throw them away,” Williams says as he looks at the collection.

Williams admits he’s benefited from a good gene pool.

He grew up as one of nine siblings, and 91-year-old Jane Sheffield is the other living member of that group. Three brothers lived into their 90s, and Williams has avoided any major health scares. Only in the last six months has he started hitting from the senior tees.

Drives of 215 yards and efficient work around the greens enable Williams to flirt with par a few months shy of his 94th birthday.

“I want to keep active as long as I can,” Williams says.

“I’ve seen so many people retire and kind of wither away.

I think it’s because they lost interest in everything.”

Couple raises children of murdered granddaughter

BY MONTE MITCHELL The Winston-Salem Journal

LOWGAP (AP) — Ronald and Diane Wood raised their granddaughter. Now they’re raising her children.

Emilee, 3, and Michael, 2, were in their mother’s old bedroom Thursday quietly watching “Dora the Explorer” as adults talked in the living room about the murder of their mother, Deonna Hiatt.

“This is the only home they’ve ever known and we’re going to do what we can to raise these babies,” Ronald said.

“And Deonna would want that, and I love them,” Diane said.

Ronald is 60 and Diane is 57, but they enjoy wrassling and playing with their two great grandchildren.

They know the children will hear the stories about their mother’s murder and so they plan to make a scrapbook with newspaper clippings and photographs.

It’ll tell how Scott Hiatt killed his wife Deonna in 2009, and how he pleaded guilty to first-degree murder Monday in Surry Superior Court and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

They have different ideas about what they want to tell the children.

“I’ll just tell them he was a piece-of-trash low-life that killed their mother,” Ronald said.

“I would just say at one time he loved you, but I don’t know what happened to his mind when he shot your mama,” Diane said.

Custody and adoption When Deonna Wood Hiatt was born in 1989, her teenaged parents moved in with her grandparents. A cry in the night would rouse the Woods.

“Diane would go in there

and change her and fix her a bottle, and lay her between us and we’d go back to sleep,” Ronald said. “She wasn’t no bigger than a nickel.”

She lived there six years, but then was away for three years, before a social services complaint led to her being returned to the Woods.

They petitioned for full custody, and were awarded it, then went through a monthslong adoption process.

“I loved her as my own child,” Diane Wood said. “Deonna was special. She wasn’t just my young ‘un, she was my friend. We were the best of friends.”

Deonna was in the Air Force Junior ROTC program at North Surry High School, and planned to make the Air Force a career until she was injured in a traffic accident in her senior year in the fall of 2006.

She had two steel plates in her back, and had to wear a plastic body brace.

A couple of months later, she found out she was pregnant by a boyfriend. She wanted to drop out of high school, but Diane told her she wouldn’t be the first or the last girl to graduate pregnant from high school and that she had to finish.

A long criminal record After graduation in June 2007 and while she was still pregnant, she renewed an acquaintanceship with Scott Hiatt. He was polite, clean cut, and Deonna’s adopted parents felt that one couldn’t ask for a nicer young man, they said.

But they didn’t know that his outward demeanor hid a long criminal record. He already had two felony convictions for breaking and entering and had served three terms in prison, according to the N.C. Department of Correction.

Five years before he met Deonna, he’d been convicted

and had ended her shift at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 11, 2009.

When she didn’t pick up the children at the babysitter, Diane Wood drove all over looking for her. She called Elkin police about 9 p.m.

That was the same time that dispatchers got a call about the theft of a backhoe in Mount Airy.

When deputies arrived, they heard someone running in the woods and they found Deonna alive in the cab of her pickup truck, her legs bound with her leather jacket. She’d been shot in the head with a .25-caliber derringer Hiatt had stolen from Ronald Wood, according to Wood and to court testimony.

Hiatt was using the backhoe to dig her grave , authorities said.

She died the next morning at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. She was 19.

That same morning, a manhunt was under way. Shortly before 11 a.m., an elderly man called 911 to say someone was banging on his door and that it might be Hiatt.

When sheriff’s deputies and an N.C. Highway Patrol trooper arrived, Hiatt was wounded in a shootout.

When he pleaded guilty Monday, he stood before Judge Moses Massey, the same judge who’d awarded initial custody of Deonna to the Woods all those years ago. The Woods have sponsored a room in memory of Deonna at Blue Ridge H.O.P.E., a domestic-violence shelter in Mount Airy.

“These young girls need to know if a guy is going to hit you and put you down, he’s going to do it again,” Diane Wood said. “I’m going to try everything in my power to get the word out. People don’t have to live with this. God forbid, I’d hate for anybody A mother’s tragic end to have to go through what She worked decorating we went through.” cakes at the Walmart in Elkin,

of resisting an officer and carrying a concealed weapon. He also was convicted of possession of a firearm by a felon in 2004, and served his longest stretch of 20 months in prison.

Scott was with Deonna at Forsyth Medical Center when Emilee was born on July 2, 2007. When mother and baby came back to the Woods’ home from the hospital, Scott moved in with them. Scott and Deonna were married in the fall of 2007.

“If that baby whimpered he’d jump right up and hold her and fix bottles and change her, just the picture of a perfect dad,” Ronald said.

Hiatt got a job doing power line work, and he, Deonna and Emilee moved into a nearby trailer in March 2008. He soon lost his job.

Her parents noticed a big bruise on Deonna’s arm one day, and she told them that Scott had bitten her.

But she was determined to have a family and make it work, they said. Their son Michael had been born June 20, 2008, and was just a month old when they all came back to live with the Woods.

By then, Scott and Deonna were arguing a lot. He threw fits of anger and cursed, punching holes in the walls of their home, they said.

She sought a domestic violence restraining order against him on Dec. 11, 2008, saying that he’d cursed at her and pulled the emergency brake and grabbed the steering wheel while she was driving in a car with Emilee, who was then 11⁄2 years old.

A judge granted a temporary restraining order and set a hearing for the next week, but the case was dismissed when she didn’t show up.

He’d moved out, but the couple still talked, trying to work things out.

Girlfriend enjoys alone time with her ex

Mrs. Verna Dennert Incomplete

Dear Boyfriend: Your girlfriend is quite concerned with her ex’s self-esteem, and she’s willing to risk your self-esteem in order to make him feel good.

Your girlfriend is making it clear that you cannot control her. On the contrary, she is controlling you by making you just a little bit crazy and I wonder if she might be enjoying this dynamic.

I suggest that you admit to feeling jealous, suspicious and insecure.

You frame your choices as: 1. getting her to stop meeting and flirting with her ex, or 2. tolerating it.

But there is a third choice, too.

You should consider that you and she are not a good fit.

Dear Amy: I have just returned home from a week with my siblings and our father.

We have been worried because Dad is aging and soon won’t be able to handle his affairs.

His lawyer recommended that all five of us make a plan to meet at Dad’s together and schedule meetings with all the important people in his life.

Dad bought tickets for those of us who needed them, and we all gathered (no spouses) for a week with scheduled appointments with his doctor, financial adviser, lawyer and personal caretakers.

We asked questions and heard important information.

We went out to lunch and dinner with Dad, reminisced and laughed.

Now we are all on the same page concerning Dad’s care and questions on how to pay for it.

It was one of the greatest gifts the five of us have ever given to ourselves.

I just wanted other families out there to consider taking the time out while their parents are still around to address some of these issues together. They could avoid some painful blowups later with siblings.

— Thankful Daughter Dear Daughter: You say you and your siblings gave yourselves a gift. But I give your father much credit for participating in this process. You’ve all handled this challenging issue very well.

Dear Amy: I am responding

to the letter from “Morgan,” who bemoaned the fact that friends seemed to abandon a dying friend because they were “uncomfortable.”

My late father-in-law told my husband and me many years ago that when in doubt about what to do in any circumstance, such as going or not going to a funeral or to visit a dying friend, one should always do the hardest thing, because that is usually the right thing.

Of course it is difficult to attend a sad service, but it is the right thing to do.

This piece of wisdom has guided our lives for the last 40 years.

— No Guilty Conscience Dear Conscience: I completely agree with this simple and very sage wisdom: When in doubt, one should do the hardest thing, because that is usually the right thing.

Dear Amy: My girlfriend and I have been dating for over a year. She dated her exboyfriend for a month or two and then they became “friends with benefits” until shortly before she and I met.

I don’t feel comfortable with her seeing him alone.

She likes to have dinners at his house alone with him and if I object, she tells me I’m being controlling, jealous and suspiASK cious.

AMY I do trust her completely, but I don’t know this guy’s intentions and I feel like she isn’t respecting me or our relationship by continuing this behavior. I have only met this man once since we have been dating.

She is a flirty person and on more than one occasion I have caught her sending him text messages telling him how attractive he is. He calls her about once a week to complain about some minor thing in his life and she coddles him.

When confronted, she tells me he has low self-esteem and she is trying to make him feel better.

She claims she does not care if I get together privately with an ex-girlfriend be-

DARTS AND LAURELS

A connection forged in fire The math is simple Laurels to the Salisbury Fire Department (and senior office assistant Tammy File in particular) for securing steel beams salvaged from the ruins of the World Trade Centers to be used in two memorials here in Rowan County. The site of the 2001 terrorist attacks in New York is hallowed ground, and now the memorials here will have a tangible connection to the sacrifices made by firefighters, police officers and others on that day, as well as many other days. Authorities in charge of distributing the beams received more than 1,000 requests from agencies representing all 50 states and several foreign countries.

Other North Carolina sites receiving beams include Chatham County; Jacksonville, near Camp Lejeune; and the town of Clyde, in Haywood County. At Fort Bragg, a memorial to soldiers who fought in Afghanistan or Iraq incorporates an eternal flame housed in a container cast from steel salvaged from the fallen towers.

• • • Dart to predictions that gasoline prices could hit $6 a gallon by the summer vacation season. That’s the assessment of some economists, including Richard Hastings, a strategist at Global Hunter Securities in Charlotte who sees a storm of factors driving up prices. “If you get weakness in the dollar concurrent with the strong driving season concurrent with the impact of one or two hurricanes in the wrong place, prices could go up in a quasi-exponential manner,” Hastings says in an article at CNBC.com.

AAA reports the average price for unleaded has already hit $4 in half a dozen states, with noticeable effect on driving patterns.

National demand for gasoline, which typically rises this time of year, has declined, the Associated Press reports.

• • • Laurels to college students who set examples of environmental stewardship on their campuses. Livingstone College’s Stephen Graddick IV was recently recognized for his environmental initiative when he won Toyota’s Green Initiative Contest. The collegiate competition, designed to encourage sustainability on campuses on nearby communities, drew more than 200 entries from CIAA schools. For his organization of a green awareness week at Livingstone, Graddick won a year’s lease of a Toyota Prius and — just in time for Arbor Day — a tree park for the Livingstone campus. While the grand prize has been awarded, the initiative itself continues. College students and others can find information on sustainability, cost-saving tips and other green ideas at www.ToyotaGreen.com.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

Easter says you can put truth in a grave, but it won’t stay there.

— Clarence W. Hall

Moderately confused

eauty, they say, is in the eye of the beholder. But if you could see the people I love — all the beauty I see in them — you’d have to agree.

They really are quite something to behold.

My first child, after 10 months of pregnancy and 22 hours of labor, came into the world looking like Rocky Balboa after 19 rounds with Apollo Creed.

His head was lopsided. One SHARON eye was swollen RANDALL shut. Red marks creased his cheeks.

I kept expecting him to shout, “Yo, Mama, we did it!”

A nurse said not to worry, he’d be fine. Then she added, “and none of the other babies in the nursery will mess with him.”

For the record, I did not look so good myself. But I took one look at his little battered face and knew beyond a doubt that he was by far the most beautiful thing God and I had ever seen.

Thirty-some years later, I still think that about him. Even if he grows a scraggly beard and pulls a ratty beanie over his head.

Moreover, I felt, and still feel, that exact same way about his sister and his brother.

And the people they married.

My 8-month-old grandson.

My husband and his two boys.

My sister and her children and her children’s children.

Old friends who look nothing like they did when we first met.

The list goes on and on.

I see them at their worst: My husband asleep and drooling in his recliner; my sister looking like a cyclops doing her makeup with one eye finished; my boys dripping sweat, hell-bent on beating each other at basketball; my brother eating a burger with mustard dribbling down his chin because something I said made him laugh.

I see them all just as they are, and always, I see beauty.

How can that be?

What are the odds of being the one person on the planet who loves only beautiful people?

I know other people probably think their loved ones are beautiful, too. And they could be right, more or less.

But the “less” is enough to make you wonder what they are thinking.

Have you looked at other people’s loved ones lately?

I once knew a woman who was attracted to several men, all of whom claimed to love her.

After a car accident left her badly disfigured, only one of the men visited her in the hospital. When he saw her, he wept.

Then he proposed and she said yes.

“I had no teeth!” she said, laughing. “I knew it was love!”

My brother and his wife were both blind all their lives.

They never saw each other’s faces, but liked to say they fell in love at first sight.

In 10 years of marriage, they were seldom more than arm’s reach apart. He lost her five years ago to cancer, and misses her every day. But in his eyes, she will forever be a beauty.

I had been a widow two years, had just started dating again, when the man who was then my editor (and is now my husband) gave me some dating advice.

“You don’t see yourself the way others see you,” he said.

“You are beautiful and funny and smart. Don’t settle for just anybody. You should be picky.”

Then he took a big breath and added that I should pick him.

Did I mention he is smart? A little nearsighted, maybe, but definitely above-average smart.

The world sets a high bar for beauty, so high that most of us, no matter how we try, will never measure up — until we learn to see ourselves and those around us through the eyes of love.

Love looks without blinking at age and infirmity, at gray hair and wrinkles, at bandages and biopsies and broken hearts, and somehow sees only beauty.

Love isn’t blind.

It’s picky.

Reducing nation’s debt can’t be delayed t’s finally time to get serious about reducing the national debt. It’s time to get serious about the phrase that is used often but seldom sincerely: “Everything is on the table.”

That means both sides have to start thinking about economics as policy, not theology.

Republicans have to back off their insistence that no form of tax increase can be part of any deal. Democrats have to end their determination to protect every element of every social program. No compromise is possible unless leaders in both parties stand up to the headsin-the-sand naysayers in their own ranks.

Anyone in Washington not totally divorced from reality knew this day was coming. Politicians have been spending money they don’t have for a long time now, but they could stay in COKIE & denial for one simple reaSTEVE ROBERTS son: The world let us, buying our bonds and enabling our bad habits because the dollar was still the most trusted currency in the world. We were not Greece or Portugal or even Great Britain because the Chinese kept paying off our credit cards.

But this week that last flimsy veil was ripped away. Standard & Poor’s, the giant financial rating agency, lowered America’s economic outlook from “stable” to “negative.” And while Washington’s top-shelf AAA bond rating remains the same, that could change if a long-term budget deal is not reached — and soon.

The most immediate challenge is raising the national-debt limit, the statutory ceiling on how much the country can borrow. The limit will be reached by July, but Republican leaders — pressed by Tea Party types and “no tax” purists — are holding the bill hostage and demanding as ransom a debt-reduction package that does not include revenue increases. The Democrats counter with the oldest tune in their songbook, “The Hands Off Social Security Rag.” This is madness. The stakes are enormous, much higher than in the recent confrontation that almost closed the federal government. As Mark Zandi, the chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, told the Washington Post: “The cornerstone of the global financial system is that the United States will make good on its debt payments. If we don’t, we’ve just knocked out the cornerstone, and the system will collapse into turmoil.”

Even if a failure is narrowly averted, interest rates could rise, causing American

debt payments to jump as well. The deficit problem would actually get worse, and harder to solve.

Fortunately, there are small signs of hope.

Reasonable people in both camps have finally gotten the message. The so-called Gang of Six, three senators from each party, is actually trying to fashion a bipartisan compromise. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Minnesota Democrat, called the group “an island of rationality” in an ocean of obtuseness and political game playing.

The co-organizer of the Gang of Six, Republican Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, is willing to take on the ayatollahs in his own party who insist that raising revenue amounts to heresy. In today’s Washington, it takes bravery to recognize reality, and Chambliss risked excommunication (if not incineration) when he told CNN: “You can’t solve this debt problem with just reductions in discretionary spending. You can’t solve it just by attacking and reforming entitlements. You’ve got to look at the revenue side also.”

His Democratic counterpart, Mark Warner of Virginia, has been equally blunt with the holy warriors on the liberal side, insisting on CBS that “entitlement reform (and) dramatic spending cuts” have to be part of any deal. The math is simple, he says: 50 years ago, there were 16 workers for every retiree; today, there are three. Current benefit levels cannot be sustained, period.

The problem is politics. Republicans are convinced that a slogan of “no new taxes” will win them back the White House. Democrats are convinced that they can retain power by labeling the GOP as red-fanged foes of Social Security. But those political calculations have led to fiscal disaster, a budget shortfall of $1.5 trillion this year alone. By playing to their bases, and avoiding bad news and hard choices, Republicans and Democrats alike have fueled the current crisis.

“Everything is on the table,” Chambliss told the Post. “For a Republican to put revenues on the table is significant. For a Democrat to put entitlements on the table is significant. But Mark (Warner) and I believe and know in our hearts that the only way we’re going to solve this problem is to have a dialogue about these issues.”

Politicians in both parties know in their own hearts that he’s right. But will they have the courage to act?

A trifecta of boneheaded plays From Democratic political consultant and Jim Hunt biographer Gary Pearce, blogging at www.talkingaboutpolitics.com: It’s baseball season, and all across our land fans are enjoying hits, runs — and errors.

So it is in politics in North Carolina.

Herewith, our Top 3 of the week.

No. 1, of course, has to be the pileup of errors by Governor Perdue and her staff over her whereabouts when the tornados hit Saturday.

You can see how it happened. When tragedy struck, the Governor knew she needed to get home. But she and her staff feared it would look bad if people PEARCE found out she was at a horse race. So they carefully parsed their words.

Unfortunately — according to a Republican critic of the governor — an N&O reporter was on the same plane she took back to Raleigh.

Then her staff had the temerity to be “shocked” at the media for “picking apart words” when people were killed.

Well, they had picked their words pretty carefully, so they should expect them to be picked back apart.

But we can’t let the Republicans off.

GOP Bonehead Play No. 1 was saying 37,000 jobless people couldn’t get their unemployment unless Republicans get their way on the budget.

FBI calls person on video in mall investigation a suspect LITTLETON, Colo. (AP) — Authorities investigating a fire that led to the discovery of a pipe bomb and propane tanks in a Colorado mall released three new surveillance photos Friday of a man who officials say is now consider a suspect in the case.

The new photos of the man show him riding a public bus away from Southwest Plaza Mall on Tuesday evening, the night before the fire. They provide the best view yet of the man, who has a gray mustache. He is wearing the same clothes he was wearing at the mall Wednesday.

The latest photos show a University of South Carolina logo on his baseball hat.

Lohan gets 120 days in jail for a probation violation LOS ANGELES (AP) — Several bailiffs led Lindsay Lohan from a Los Angeles courtroom on Friday after a judge who heard evidence against the actress in a theft case sentenced her to 120 days in jail for a probation violation.

The actress, who often conferred with her attorney throughout a preliminary hearing, showed little reaction as Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner gave her ruling.

Lohan’s attorney, Shawn Holley, said she will appeal, allowing the Lohan, 24, to post bail, LOHAN which was set at $75,000.

The “Mean Girls” star also was ordered to serve more than 400 hours of community service, including 300 hours at a women’s center.

It will be Lohan’s fourth jail stint.

The ruling came after Sautner reduced Lohan’s grand theft case down to a misdemeanor. Sautner ruled that prosecutors had shown Lohan violated her probation from a 2007 drunken driving case. The judge refused to dismiss the theft case against Lohan.

Surprise! Fake pregnancy part of teen’s social experiment TOPPENISH, Wash. (AP) — A high school st dent who faked her pregnancy for six months as a social experiment stunned a student assembly this week by taking off the belly bundle.

Only a handful of people knew that 17-year-old Gaby Rodriguez wasn’t really pregnant, including her mother, boyfriend and the principal, according to the Yakima Herald-Republic.

They helped keep the secret from some of her siblings and her boyfriend’s family and students and teachers, all as part of a senior project on stereotyping.

Before the revelation, she asked several students and teachers to read quotes people said about her during the course of her experiment.

“Her attitude is changing, and it might be because of the baby or she was always this annoying and I never realized it,” her best friend, Saida Cortes, read.

It grew quiet in the gym as more and more quotes were read aloud, Yakima Herald-Republic reported.

Then Rodriguez dropped her bomb: “I’m fighting against those stereotypes and rumors because the reality is

I’m not pregnant.”

She had been nervous about how the crowd might react. After all, she had been lying to them since October.

“In essence, she gave up her senior year,” said Principal Trevor Greene. “She sacrificed her senior year to find out what it would be like to be a potential teen mom.”

“I admire her courage. I admire her preparation. I give her mother a lot of credit for backing her up on this,” he said.

At first Rodriguez’s mother wasn’t sure what to make of the idea, either.

“I thought she was crazy,” says 52-year-old Juana Rodriguez, adding it was difficult to lie to family members.

But she felt she needed to support her daughter, who enlisted two mentors from Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital’s Childbirth Education Program to help her.

Rodriguez began wearing her homemade, basketballsized, prosthetic belly to school after spring break. Before that, she wore baggy sweaters and sweat shirts to conceal her faux pregnancy. Rodriguez plans to attend Columbia Basin College to study social work or sociology in the fall.

Both Fields and Kennedy graduated from Livingstone.

Sharon Goodson, executive director of the N.C. Community Action Association, will speak.

Goodson said she worked closely with Fields, advocating for more funding and assistance for the less fortunate. “(Fields) has pretty much been around this network, helping people and changing lives in our state, for three decades,” Goodson said by phone from Raleigh.

They met about seven years ago when Goodson took over as NCCAA’s executive director.

“She advocated for the General Assembly and in Washington, D.C., for people in your community,” Goodson said.

“It wasn’t just at home that she did this great work.”

Her death, Goodson said, leaves a void. “We have lost a tremendous leader, a humanitarian.”

“I’ve often heard her say that we can’t help everybody, but we can certainly try.”

Ordinance against teasing police dogs doesn’t sit well MASON, Ohio (AP) — A southwest Ohio man charged with teasing a police dog by barking at it says a city law violates free speech.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports the attorney for 25year-old Ryan James Stephens says his client was not striking the animal in suburban Mason. Lawyer Jim Hardin says barking may not be seen as intelligent speech but is “still speech.” He questions the validity of a city law that bars taunting police dogs.

A police officer investigating a car crash at a pub on April 3 reported he heard the dog barking uncontrollably.

The officer said he found Stephens making barking noises and hissing at a dog inside the police car.

The officer’s report quoted Stephens as saying “the dog started it” and said the man appeared highly intoxicated.

Town Manager Reed Linn said he too has fielded numerous inquiries about when the area will be open to the public.

“The trails are already being used,” he said.

Linn said town officials also hope to construct new piers for people to use for fishing.

He likened the Lake Corriher Wilderness area to a national park.

Law enforcement will patrol the wilderness area four to six times a day.

Wright said that she had known Fields for about 30 years. The two were members of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. And, Wright said, in addition to her public work, Fields ministered quietly to others, helping families and individuals as she was able.

Godair said Fields was always ready to help, anytime, anyplace.

“It didn’t matter what color they were, didn’t matter what language they spoke,” Godair said.

Goodson said that Fields’ caring spirit was evident in how others treated her.

Under her leadership, Diggs said, the agency got federal funding to help not only young students, but their parents and families.

Among these achievements was expansion of programs to include children from birth to five years of age, as well as summer enrichment programs.

Fields was a hard worker who expected diligence of her employees.

“You knew she wanted the job done, so you did your best to do everything in order,” Diggs said.

Bill Godair, senior pastor at Cornerstone Church, serves on the SRCAA board.

He said his work with Fields in that role helped him learn about the agency that he called “one of the most remarkable hidden secrets in this county.”

He told of traveling with Fields to Washington, D.C. to argue for more funding to help area families.

“Just the fact that she could keep herself motivated for so many years — I know how difficult it is to get up every day and do the same routine,” Godair said.

But, he added, in staff meetings, board meetings, anywhere, she stayed energetic for her cause.

Miller headed to WSSU

BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

jon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST

Isis Miller is one of six seniors from Salisbury that will play college basketball.

SALISBURY — Salisbury girls basketball coach Chris McNeil had a feisty group on and off the court this season.

“The toughest competition of all was to see who could get the highest GPA,” McNeil said. “They were all over 3.0s. They pushed each other hard in the classroom.”

Not only did the Hornets go 27-1 and win their third straight 2A state championship, they will have six seniors moving on to play college basketball.

The latest to sign is 5-

foot-10 post player Isis Miller. She’s headed to Division II CIAA school WinstonSalem State.

The alMILLER ways upbeat Miller was a big part of that daily quiz bowl on the basketball team.

“There was a lot of emphasis on schoolwork on the team and also from my mom,” Miller said. “She always told me there were no C’s allowed in her house.

I’ve made all A’s and B’s in high school except one. I had one ‘C’ in pre-calculus.”

Cooper lives to throw

Friday Peeler a wash

BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

At a college track meet earlier this month at Western Carolina, two East Rowan graduates bumped into each other a long way from home.

Both were competing in the javelin — Wayne Parker for Western and Rebecca Cooper for East Carolina.

“I knew Wayne was a good pole vaulter, but I didn’t know he was throwing the javelin, and he didn’t know I did,” Cooper said. “He was like, ‘What in the world are you doing here?’ ” A sporting event is always a good place to look for Cooper. At East, she was a scholar-athlete 12 times, earned 10 varsity letters, capCOOPER tained the Mustangs in three different sports and made five all-county teams.

One of the few things she didn’t do was track, and that was because track happens simultaneously with softball, a sport in which she was Rowan County’s 2007 co-player of the year.

Even if Cooper had performed for East’s track team, she wouldn’t have been throwing any javelins. At last count, North Carolina was one of 36 states that doesn’t sanction the javelin as a high school event. The reasons given are cost, safety concerns and a shortage of qualified coaches.

Cooper was good enough in softball and volleyball to play at a lot of colleges, but Division I East Carolina is where she wanted to go to school, and that meant her athletic pursuits were going to be limited to club teams.

SALISBURY — Marny Hendrick will be the first to tell you.

Want rain? Schedule an Easter baseball tournament.

Rain once again foiled the Cliff Peeler Baseball Classic on Friday and Hendrick started making his calls to the coaches around 3 p.m.

He told the coaches to get ready for a full day of Saturday baseball. Six of the 12 games in the tournament will be played today.

There will be two games at 10 a.m.

At North, Davie County (16-2) faces West Iredell (9-6).

Lake Norman (16-3) and West Stokes (12-3) will square off at Salisbury’s Robertson Stadium.

At noon, North Rowan (14-4) will play host to Central Cabarrus (9-10), while Salisbury (9-6) will play host to McMichael (11-7).

The consolation games will be played at Salisbury at 2:30 and 4:30.

The semifinal games are also at Salisbury at 6:30 and 8:30.

Tickets are $5 for adults and $2 for students.

An all-tournament pass is $10.

After the 10 and 12 games on Saturday, fans will have to buy another ticket.

• On Monday, four games are scheduled for Salisbury.

The seventh-place game is at 11 a.m.

The fifth-place game is set for 1:30.

The third-place game is scheduled for 4:30 and the championship contest will begin at 7:30.

There is no sportswriter alive who would not be completely lost after 15 minutes of calculus, pre or otherwise, so we’ll let that one ‘C’ slide.

Miller overcame quite a bit as a senior. She had a severe case of shin splints that threatened to sideline her the entire season.

“We all agreed the priority was going to be to have her healthy for the championship run,” McNeil said.

“So she sat down until she could get her full health back.”

Miller missed nine games, but she didn’t stop

Panthers’ fortunes hinge on top pick

BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — It started with Jake Delhomme’s playoff meltdown in January 2009 and picked up steam through questionable personnel and coaching decisions, decimating injuries, an ill-timed labor dispute and plain bad luck.

Now after the swift fall from division winner to the NFL’s worst team, the Carolina Panthers have a chance to end a brutal twoyear stretch of unwatchable football.

All general manager Marty Hurney has to do is be perfect with perhaps the important selection in franchise history: the No. 1 overall pick in Thursday’s NFL draft.

“You just want to make

the right selection,” Hurney said.

Thanks to the Panthers’ 28-month stretch of bad fortune, this is no easy choice.

The top highlights for Carolina last season didn’t come on often touchdownless Sundays, but late on Saturday nights when Stanford’s Andrew Luck was dazzling out West and dreams hatched of a franchise quarterback coming to Charlotte.

But not long after the Panthers locked up the No. 1 pick with a 2-14 season of punts, turnovers and general incompetence under lame duck coach John Fox, Luck stunned the Panthers by staying in school.

So now what?

There’s another potentially dominant quarterback out there who owns a nation-

al championship and a Heisman Trophy. Only Auburn’s Cam Newton carries enough off-field baggage to make him one of the riskiest picks of recent times.

“Newton is off the charts completely,” ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said of his physical skills before sounding a warning. “The game of football requires a lot of film study. You have to be able to love that part of it. If you don’t, you’re not going to be a great quarterback. That’s what they’re trying to figure out right now about Cam Newton.”

Throw in a 2008 arrest, allegations that his father solicited money during his college recruitment and a resume that includes only 14 college starts, and Newton is a giant question mark.

But the 6-foot-5 athlete

Catawba wins twice From staff reports

7 p.m.

A.L. Brown vs. Carson

Catawba’s baseball team has battled its way into the finals of the SAC tournament being played at Forest City’s McNair Field.

The Indians will face Wingate, which is still unbeaten in the doubleelimination event, today at 1 p.m.

Catawba would have to win two more games today to win the title, and the pitching staff is getting thin.

Catawba beat Lincoln Memorial 65 in an evening elimination game after a rain delay.

Josh Hohn had three hits, and Ryan Bostian had two hits, including a triple.

John Tuttle pitched six innings, allowing 10 hits and three runs while striking out nine.

Nathan Furr pitched two scoreless frames for the win. Wil Huneycutt worked the ninth for his ninth save.  Catawba beat Newberry 5-0 late Saturday night.

Catawba took advantage of defensive lapses to push across all five runs in the ninth inning, and the Indians got an extraordinary pitching effort from Austin Moyer.

Moyer threw a one-hitter with eight strikeouts.

Bostian, Chris Dula and Blake Houston had two hits each, and Houston provided the game’s only RBI. Regular-season champ Catawba should be in the regional tournament win or lose today, but the tournament winner gets the league’s only automatic berth.

Panthers on the clock NEW YORK (AP) — The draft is the only game in town. In every NFL town.

In the midst of the lockout, the one piece of business that has not ground to a halt is the draft. None of the 32 teams are allowed to be in contact with their players, but they’ve been free to handle all the scouting and testing and interviewing that goes into making their draft picks.

Those picks begin Thursday night at Radio City Music Hall. Here’s how the early first round might go.

1. CAROLINA (2-14) can’t go wrong with the first pick of 2011 because so much went wrong in 2010 for the Panthers. This is a team in need of help almost everywhere, and with no free agency during the lockout, it needs to get things right in the only open avenue for improvement.

So where will the Panthers look for immediate aid? Perhaps quarterback.

Or defensive line. Or anywhere else on the defense. Or on offense, for that matter. This is a team with virtually no strengths.

On the theory that quarterback really is the most important position, give the Panthers a Heisman Trophy winner.

Wake’s Stewart heads to USC Associated Press

AssOciAted pRess

Atlanta’s Al Horford, bottom, and Orlando’s Jameer Nelson battle for a loose ball.

Crawford wins it Associated Press From around the NBA...

ATLANTA — Jamal Crawford banked in a 3pointer with 5.7 seconds left to cap a brilliant second half, leading the Atlanta Hawks to an 88-84 victory over the Orlando Magic on Friday night and a 2-1 lead in their Eastern Conference playoff series.

The Hawks led most of the game, but things got close and testy in the final minutes.

Zaza Pachulia of Atlanta and Jason Richardson of Orlando were both ejected with 2:22 remaining after a confrontation under the basket.

The teams swapped the lead four times after that nearbrawl until Al Horford put the Hawks ahead for good with 46.6 seconds remaining.

But Crawford, who scored 18 of his 23 points after halftime, hit the biggest shot of all. With the shot clock winding down, he put up a jumper over Jameer Nelson that struck high on the backboard and went in.

Game 4 is Sunday night.

The physical game turned ugly when Dwight Howard drove the lane and was hammered by Pachulia, who took on the thankless job of guarding Orlando’s big man after Jason Collins went out with a back injury in the first half.

Howard swung a forearm, Pachulia flung an elbow, then Richardson charged into Pachulia’s face. As they jawed, Pachulia appeared to deliver at least one headbutt to Richardson, who responded by slapping Pachulia in the jaw with his left hand.

Celtics 113, Knicks 96 NEW YORK — No fantastic finish needed for the Boston Celtics this time.

They simply spoiled Madison Square Garden’s postseason homecoming party right from the start.

Paul Pierce scored 38 points, Ray Allen added 32, and Rajon Rondo had a Celtics’ playoff-record 20 assists as Boston beat the New York Knicks 113-96 on Friday night to take a 3-0 in their first-round playoff series.

Rondo had 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Celtics, who pulled out two close games in Boston but never trailed in this one, dominating the first playoff game at Madison Square Garden in seven years. They will go for the sweep Sunday afternoon, and no NBA team has ever lost a series after winning the first three games.

Boston coach Doc Rivers said he rarely talks to his team about the crowd environment, but the former Knicks player made an exception Friday knowing the stage.

falo.

The Sabres survived after blowing a 3-0 and chasing Flyers starting goalie Brian Boucher.

Leighton was flawless until overtime.

Thomas Vanek and MarcAndre Gragnani also scored in the first period for the Sabres.

James van Riemsdyk, Andrej Meszaros, Danny Briere scored for the Flyers.

The Flyers, the No. 2 seed in the East, have no Jeff Carter, no Chris Pronger and are on their third goalie of the series. Their biggest problem could come Sunday where the Sabres are poised to send the defending Eastern Conference champions home for the offseason.

LOS ANGELES — Forward Ari Stewart has transferred to Southern California after two seasons at Wake Forest.

USC coach Kevin O’Neill announced Stewart’s transfer on Friday.

Stewart averaged 8.5 points and 4.4 rebounds for the Demon Deacons last season, starting 16 games as a sophomore swingman. A year earlier, he led ACC freshmen in 3-point shooting, making 37.1 percent.

Stewart was a touted high school prospect out of Marietta, Ga., in 2009.

O’Neill expects Stewart to improve his game while sitting out next season as a redshirt, saying Stewart has a tremendous upside.

RACING GLADEVILLE, Tenn. — Sprint Cup star Kyle Busch raced to his second NASCAR Trucks Series victory of the season, passing Ron Hornaday Jr. on a late restart and easily holding off Nelson Piquet Jr. on Friday night at Nashville Superspeedway.

Busch, also the Nashville winner last spring, led 140 of 150 laps on the 1.333-mile concrete oval. He also won the Trucks race in Phoenix in February and has 26 series victories in 89 starts. In addition to Busch’s two victories, Kasey Kahne won the March race at Darlington in Busch’s No. 18 Toyota.

“I thought Isis really took Brielle under her wing,” McNeil said. “It’s a blessing to have girls like that.”

After her return to the court, Miller played her role perfectly. Four to six points every night, solid defense, some tough rebounds and zero complaints.

She was a cog in a devastating team that won by an average of 32 points (67-35) every night. Even in the state title game against East Bladen, the powerful Hornets rolled by exactly 32.

“I go way back with most of the girls, almost 10 years with the Holmes twins (Ashia and Ayanna),” Miller said. “It was like an honor to be on a team like this. We got along, we set records and we won championships.”

Miller scored in all three of the state championship games she played in, but

PANTHERS FROM 1b the defensive line.

Alabama’s Marcell Dareus would help fill the hole at defensive tackle.

While a cornerback has never gone No. 1 overall, scouts have raved about LSU’s Patrick Peterson, who could replace starter Richard Marshall if he leaves in free agency. The Panthers haven’t had an effective No. 2 receiver in years, and Georgia’s A.J. Green could finally give them a deep threat opposite the aging Steve Smith.

And then there’s another highly rated QB in Missouri’s Blaine Gabbert, who drew praise from new coach Ron Rivera at last month’s owners meetings.

Rivera has stressed the need for a stable QB, something the Panthers haven’t had since Delhomme never recovered from his six-turnover nightmare against Arizona in Carolina’s last playoff game at the end of the 2008 season.

Yet this is no normal draft or offseason.

Rivera hasn’t been able to hold a minicamp or meet with his new players because of the lockout.

Carolina has 28 free agents who are in limbo until a new deal is reached.

she’s more excited about three championship rings.

She thought for most of this season that she might get a scholarship for volleyball — she was all-county for the Hornets — but it turned out to be basketball, after all.

She’s as excited about Winston-Salem State’s nursing program as the basketball program. The Rams were 17-11 last season.

That’s a lot of losing by Salisbury standards, but the Rams were pretty good.

As far as academics, she knows it won’t be easy making A’s and B’s while dealing with the time demands of college basketball, but she’s got her game face on already.

“With Isis having such a demanding major, it’s going to be a challenge for her,” McNeil said. “But she’s never been one to back down.”

Miami gets its coach CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Jim Larranaga has taken the Miami Hurricanes’ basketball job after 14 years at George Mason, including an improbable run to the Final Four in 2006.

Larranaga called George Mason athletic director Tom O’Connor on Friday morning to say he accepted Miami’s offer. The Hurricanes scheduled an evening news conference to introduced their new coach, who replaces Frank Haith.

“Coach Larranaga is the real deal,” Miami president Donna Shalala said in a statement. “He’s a winner, an inspirational leader, and he cares deeply about his players and staff.”

Larranaga, 61, led the Patriots to five NCAA tournament berths and went 273-164, setting a school record for victories. This season his team went 27-7 and reached the third round of the tournament

COOPER FroM 1b At least, that’s what she thought.

But then Cooper made a video that opened doors.

Cooper plans to be a teacher and coach. Her major is physical eduction, and one of her classroom assignments last spring was to create an instructional video. Cooper, who was mostly a shortstop at East, drew on her own experiences.

“The video I developed was on the proper mechanics for throwing a softball,” Cooper explained.

Cooper’s class instructor was Eva Price, a former college pole vaulter. Price’s husband David is a former vaulter and javelin thrower and is an assistant coach for East Carolina’s track team.

Ms. Price showed the video to her husband, and he saw something in Cooper.

before losing to overall No. 1 seed Ohio State.

Larranaga helped the Patriots win three titles in the Colonial Athletic Association. Now he moves to the Atlantic Coast Conference, where the Hurricanes were 43-69 the past seven seasons under Haith.

“Jim can coach at any level,” O’Connor said. “He could probably coach the Los Angeles Lakers if he wanted to.”

Miami officials declined to comment. The hiring was made by Shawn Eichorst only nine days after he became the Hurricanes’ athletic director.

Haith left for Missouri after going 129-101 at Miami, including 21-15 this past season.

Larranaga’s contract at George Mason, which ran until 2016, had a base salary of $525,000. The school offered him a package including incentive bonuses would that have put him in the top five among mid-major coaches in compensation, O’Connor said, but even that deal couldn’t compete with Miami’s re-

sources.

Unlike the Hurricanes, George Mason does not have a football program.

“In all honesty, the university can only go so far with finances,” O’Connor said. “We think we put together a very, very attractive financial compensation package. We couldn’t compete with an ACC school, a big football school with its budget.”

A native New Yorker, Larranaga also coached at Bowling Green for 11 seasons and Division II American International for two seasons.

The improbable NCAA tournament run by George Mason in 2006 was a triumph for all mid-major programs. The Patriots beat Michigan State, North Carolina and secondseeded Connecticut before losing to Florida in the national semifinals at Indianapolis.

Larranaga also led the Patriots to the tournament in 1999, 2001 and 2008. Miami made the tournament once under Haith, losing in the second

“He called me up and wondered if I’d ever thought about throwing the javelin,” Cooper said.

Cooper’s thought about a lot of things in her life. It’s safe to say throwing the javelin wasn’t among them.

Still, she was interested.

“This was last spring, and I went over for a tryout,” Cooper said. “My tryout was throwing a softball, and I can throw a softball pretty far.”

Now Price was very interested.

“Since our high schools don’t have the javelin, East Carolina has to recruit people to try to throw it,” Cooper said. “The coaches scope out people who have good arms, usually baseball and softball players, and decide if they are teachable.”

Cooper was deemed “teachable,” and Price was willing to work with her if she wanted to become a track walk-on. She had a tough decision to make.

Learning the mechanics

of brand new sport at the college level meant a time investment. Cooper is a regular on the Dean’s List. Did she want to take that many hours away from her studies?

Yes, she decided.

So she spent just about every day last summer working on her javelin technique.

Imagine sprinting as fast as you can, and then flinging a spear that’s more than 2 feet long. You can’t cross this line, your throw has to land between these two lines, and the javelin has to stick in the ground or it’s a foul.

Like the shot put and the discus, successful throws require explosion and technique as well as strength.

“Having a strong arm is nice, but there are also a lot of mechanics to the javelin,” Cooper said. “But it’s been fun trying something new.”

Cooper has been a fullfledged member of the track team this spring, and

OSU’s ‘tatoo five’ move on COLUMBUS, Ohio — In many ways, the five-game NCAA suspensions handed to five of Ohio State’s top players and head coach Jim Tressel haven’t had much effect on the team’s spring workouts.

“We’ve stuck together,” linebacker Andrew Sweat said. “Adversity happens.

We’re coming together to overcome it.”

All but quarterback Terrelle Pryor are practicing with the team this spring. Pryor is recuperating from foot surgery to repair ligament damage and will not play in the team’s annual intrasquad scrimmage on Saturday.

The other suspended players are leading rusher Dan Herron, top returning receiver DeVier Posey, starting offensive tackle Mike Adams and backup defensive lineman Solomon Thomas. All five will sit out the games against Akron, Toledo, at Miami (Fla.), Colorado and the Big Ten opener against Michigan State for accepting improper benefits from a Columbus tattoo-parlor owner. But they can practice every day with the team up to and after each of those games, including every workout in August.

Herron, nicknamed “Boom,” believes the five can redeem themselves through their play and subsequent actions.

“I’m still myself. I’m still Boom. Everybody knows who I am,” he said. “Everybody makes mistakes in their life.

You move on.”

Tressel will also miss the first five games, punishment for knowing about the improper benefits for more than nine months but not notifying his superiors. The NCAA is still investigating his case.

Ohio State has permitted little access to players and Tressel during the three weeks of spring workouts. Reporters have been allowed to watch an occasional practice, but for the most part have had

only limited chances to speak with players compared to past years. Tressel spent 10 minutes on one teleconference, mostly talking about the competition at quarterback.

Jordan Hall, a running back who attended the same Jeannette, Pa., high school as Pryor, said he thinks Pryor, one of his best friends, is bearing up well.

“He’s helping all the quarterbacks,” Hall said. “He’s in the film room with the quarterbacks. He’s been like a coach for the quarterbacks this spring.”

Pryor has not participated in contact drills and has spent most of his time tossing a football on the sidelines or closely watching the progress of the four candidates to replace him in those first five games.

For the most part, the Buckeyes have tried to just forget about the impending suspensions.

“To be honest, I don’t think it’s really hit me yet. I try not to think about it because it’s going to be terrible at times,” Herron said. “I can’t let it bring me down.”

That’s the approach the entire team seems to be taking.

“Our approach has been the same as it was the past

three springs. We’re just trying to get better. We’re trying to get guys prepared for next season,” center Mike Brewster said. “We really do block everything out. We’re focused on what we need to get done.

Things have been normal. We don’t even talk about it right now.”

Many on the team have read the inspirational book “The Traveler’s Gift: Seven Decisions that Determine Personal Success” by Christian author and speaker Andy Andrews.

round in 2008.

Small crowds have been a chronic problem for the Hurricanes, who compete in a market that includes all four major professional sports. Average attendance at George Mason was 3,192 the season before Larranaga arrived but

climbed to 6,834 the year after the Final Four appearance, and was 5,896 this past year.

O’Connor said George Mason’s search for a replacement would start immediately.

“I’m confident we can attract a very strong basketball coach,” O’Connor said.

Miami’s hiring of Larranaga completes a revamping of the athletic department. Al Golden replaced Randy Shannon in December as football coach, and Eichorst replaced Kirby Hocutt, who became athletic director at Texas Tech.

she’s proud that she’s had a chance to wear the purple and gold as a Division I athlete.

“There are some perks as far as being an athlete,” she said. “They really take care of you if you’re hurt or sick and you get to register for classes a little bit early.”

One of ECU’s seven javelin throwers (three girls, four guys) is from nearby Mount Pleasant. Sam Barnhardt was a swimmer, football player and discus thrower in high school.

Cooper has contributed to the Pirates. She was eighth out of 43 entries at the Wake Forest Open in March and threw 124 feet, 4 inches for fifth place in UNC Wilmington’s Seahawk Classic.

She placed third in that Beaches vs. Mountains meet at Western Carolina where she ran into Parker.

“I’m definitely a whole lot busier now,” Cooper said. “But I enjoy it.”

Cooper has traveled to Florida with the team and is

looking forward to the conference meet in Houston.

Not so much for the trip itself, but because the conference meet is team oriented.

She misses that.

“Track is very individual,” she said. “You’re trying to get a mark to qualify for conference. Then you try to qualify for the regional, then nationals. But in the conference meet, you’re trying to score points for your team.”

A senior in the classroom, Cooper currently has an internship at Greenville’s

D.H. Conley High. She’s not sure about next year yet.

The only certainty is she’ll be taking graduate courses.

She still has one year of athletic eligibility, and it’s possible ECU might give her some scholarship money if she returns to the team.

“We’ve talked about it, and we’ll just have to see how I do and if I get a job,” Cooper said. “I’ll either be going to grad school and teaching or going to grad school and still competing.

Those are good options to have.”

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS Toyota’s global car production, disrupted by parts shortages from Japan’s earthquake and tsunami, won’t return to normal until November or December — imperiling its spot as the world’s top-selling automaker.

President Akio Toyoda apologized to customers for the delays due to the March 11 disasters that damaged suppliers in Japan, affecting automakers around the world.

General Motors is almost certain to claim the title of world’s biggest automaker this year, retaking the top spot from Toyota, which also can’t escape the shadow of major safety recalls. The No. 1 title, a morale booster for the winner’s employees and managers, would cap GM’s remarkable comeback from bankruptcy.

Pfizer Inc. confirmed that one patient who was taking its drug candidate tofacitinib, a pill designed to treat rheumatoid arthritis, died during a recent clinical trial and said the death was connected to the drug. The world’s largest drugmaker said the patient died of respiratory failure. Three other patients who were treated with tofacitinib during the study died as

well, but those deaths were not determined to be drug-related.

Two of those deaths occurred several weeks after the patients stopped taking tofacitinib. Tofacitinib, formerly called tasocitinib, is being tested as a treatment for moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation, usually of the hands and feet. More than 1,000 patients have taken tofacitinib during clinical trials, and Pfizer said late Thursday that overall death rate for patients in those studies is similar to what has been observed in other treatments for rheumatoid arthritis.

The Treasury Department says an investment program set up during the financial crisis to buy toxic assets from banks is showing a $1.7 billion gain. The department has committed $22.1 billion in taxpayer funds to the Public-Private Investment Program, which was created in March 2009. That money has been used to set up funds that have invested in mortgage-backed securities and other financial assets. The goal is to take those assets off the books of large banks.

A boat is by the jetty of the Capernaum National Park in the sea of Galilee, along the Gospel trail in northern israel, . For centuries, Christian pilgrims have flocked to Jerusalem to follow Jesus' last footsteps as he bore his cross on the way to his crucifixion. Now, israel hopes to attract more Christian visitors with a new pilgrimage route in the Galilee tracing the path of Jesus at the prime of his life and ministry.

In Jesus’ footsteps Israel unveils hiking trail for Christian pilgrims NAZARETH, Israel (AP) — Israel hopes to attract Christian tourists with a new pilgrimage route unveiled recently in the Galilee, a network of footpaths, roads and bicycle paths linking sites central to the lives of Jesus and his disciples.

Developing sites linked to Jewish history has long been a priority for the Jewish state. But the Gospel Trail, inaugurated Thursday by Israeli tourism officials, is a nod to the growing number of Christians traveling to the country in recent years, outnumbering Jewish visitors.

More than two-thirds of the 3.45 million tourists in Israel last year were Christian, double the amount of the previous year, and about 40 percent of them defined themselves as religious pilgrims, according to Israel's Tourism Ministry.

The 40-mile (60-kilometer) trail in northern Israel passes sites including Tabgha, the traditional site of Jesus' miracle of the loaves and fishes, and the Mount of Beatitudes, where he delivered his Sermon on the Mount. It ends at Capernaum on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, where Jesus espoused his teachings.

Giacinto-Boulos Marcuzzo, a Catholic bishop, led Bible students and reporters on an inaugural hike Thursday on the first section of the trail — a footpath setting out from a hilltop lookout point on the outskirts of Nazareth, Jesus' hometown.

Dressed in a flowing crimson robe, the bishop read a passage from the Gospel of St. Luke that describes the Nazarenes who brought Jesus to the hilltop, known as Mount Precipice, and threatened to throw him off the cliff.

"The town of Nazareth is where everything started," said Marcuzzo. "This reminds us to have faith."

Young Christians from around the world, spending the year in Israel studying scriptures, sang and strummed a guitar as they followed the bishop down the newly paved footpath, which offers panoramic views of the verdant valley below.

"We want to really experience what (Jesus) has been through, to experience his human side," said Saul Vasquez, 22, from New York, as he hiked the trail.

two priests take snapshots atop of Mount Precipice, the site where according to tradition Jesus was banished from Nazareth and the starting point of of the Gospel trail in northern israel.

s

stones mark the trail on Mount Precipice, the site where according to tradition Jesus was banished from Nazareth and the starting point of of the Gospel trail in northern israel The new trail includes New Testament quotes carved into stones along the path, shaded rest areas and picnic sites. Officials are slated to officially open the entire route next month after installing signs and printing maps.

The government-sponsored trail comes alongside another hiking route in the Galilee, the Jesus Trail, which an Israeli hotelier spearheaded independently several years ago and which already attracts backpackers and other Christian tourists.

It leads trekkers from Nazareth to Kafr Kana, where Jesus is said to have turned water into wine, before continuing on to other holy sites.

In recent years, Israeli tourism officials have moved away from branding their Mediterranean country as a sunsea-sand destination and have focused on its historic holy sites that are bedrocks for Judaism and Christianity. Other traditional pilgrimage paths have been popular draws for Christians, particularly the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem tracing Jesus' final steps on his way to his crucifixion.

Tourism officials say they are now working with tour providers to market the Gospel Trail to visiting church groups and pilgrims.

Rafael Ben Hur, a senior tourism ministry official, said the trail could encourage support of Israel among Christians.

"The land of God is a part of their history, too," Ben Hur said.

"They can learn about themselves, that they have so much in common with the Jewish people, and that it is important that the Jewish people keep this land."

“And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him and saith, Master, Master; and kissed him. And they laid their hands on him, and took him.”

(Mark 14:4546) Throughout history, people have used the kiss to convey various messages REV. DR. and intention.

GEORGE JACKSON Within a kiss, an attempt is made to pass from one person to another a feeling, a sentiment or an emotion. The late, great James Brown was often heard to say, “I feel so good, I want to jump back and kiss myself!”

As you can imagine, there are several connotations of a kiss. There’s the “Kiss of Death,” associated with mafia types. This type of relationship will lead inevitably to personal catastrophe.

Some people “kiss up.”

They act obsequiously. They do anything to gain favor even to the point of being vulgar or obnoxious.

You know you’re getting on somebody’s last nerve when they become enraged and tell you to kiss their derriere. If you were pulled out of the water after almost drowning, you would want artificial respiration or the “kiss of life.”

Since we are in the neighborhood, we might as well mention “lip service,” which is best described as a vow of allegiance that goes no further than an expression of words. It is talking loud, but saying nothing.

The mouth backs the lips.

In conversation, the mouth talks. There are many messages in kisses where the lips speak to life’s situations.

Kisses say, “Hello;” kisses say, “I love you;” kisses show affection and desire; kisses are signs of admiration and respect; and kisses give approval and say, “Congratulations.”

Over the years, people have used a kiss as the conversation of passion. I believe if you think for a moment you might remember your first kiss. One of America’s greatest Supreme Court justices, Judge Oliver Wendell Holmes said, “The sound of a kiss is not so loud as that of a cannon, but its echo lasts a great deal longer.”

Be careful who you kiss or who kisses you because every set of lips that look juicy and soft might not measure up to your expectations. Who knows what’s hiding behind the lipstick.

A kiss can fool you. Ask Isaac who was fooled by Jacob (the trickster) and gave away Esau’s blessing and inheritance. A kiss can woo you. Ask Samson who was hoodwinked by Delilah who turned him over to the Philistines in exchange for 1,100 pieces of silver (Judges 16:30).

A kiss can deceive you.

Ask Amasa who greeted the Israeli captain Joab with a kiss, not recognizing the sword in his friend’s hand.

The popular jewelry store chain Kay Jewelers produced a commercial a few years ago with a jingle saying, “Every kiss begins with K.” Realistically, some kisses begin with “T” for trickery, treason and turmoil. Such was the case of Judas Iscariot in 29 AD who concluded that though it hurt to abandon his relationship with Jesus Christ and not

At that moment, the Temple curtain was ripped in two, top to bottom. There was an earthquake, and rocks were split in pieces. What’s more, tombs were opened up, and many bodies of believers asleep in their graves were raised. (After Jesus’ resurrection, they left the tombs, entered the holy city, and appeared to many.)The captain of the guard and those with him, when they saw the earthquake and everything else that was happening, were scared to death. They said, “This has to be the Son of God!” Matthew 27:51-54 THE MESSAGE

soul, “I don’t want you anymore.” However, Judas forgot to read the fine print when he signed up to follow Jesus. It says, “Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you; and I will take you one a city, and two a family, and I will bring you to Zion” (Jeremiah 3:14).

Jesus could not even reject a traitor like Judas Iscariot. That’s why Jesus called Judas “friend” after he kissed him. It is his divine nature to embrace, forgive and reconcile us even when we plan to do wrong.

I’m so glad I can’t kiss God and say goodbye. God

North Carolina prison chaplains could be replaced with volunteers RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Darren Whitehurst lost hope after a judge gave him a nine- to 11-year prison sentence after a series of break-ins and thefts brought on by drug problems turned him into a habitual felon in the eyes of North Carolina law.

Whitehurst credits the Rev. Roosevelt Askew, then the clinical chaplain at Pasquotank Correctional Institution in Elizabeth City, with helping him go deeper in his burgeoning Christian faith while behind bars. Now a 43year-old business owner and Baptist minister, Whitehurst is worried about a legislative proposal to cut 54 permanent statefunded chaplains serving dozens of the state’s prisons and replace them with volunteers.

“I went into the system bitter, feeling like that my life was just ruined,” said Whitehurst, who was released in late 2005 and now lives in Williamston.

“If it wasn’t for him redirecting me, I do not know where I would be.”

Some House Republicans say the budget crunch leaves them with no choice but to seek such drastic changes.

The proposal from the subcommittee on justice and public safety programs released last week would eliminate nearly $3 million from the Department of Correction's chaplaincy program. The subcommittee is charged with finding more than $200 million in spending cuts for the coming fiscal year to help close a budget gap for next year estimated by GOP leaders at more than

$2.5 billion.

It would effectively end the current system of 43 paid clergy members who work at prisons. There are another 14 “temporary,” or contract, chaplains that cover other locations in the 70-prison system, said Betty Brown, the state’s correctional chaplaincy services coordinator.

The measure would also eliminate four of the five paid chaplains that serve eight youth development centers and nine detention centers for offenders in the juvenile justice system, for another $250,000 in savings.

Rep. David Guice, R-Transylvania, a budget writer for criminal justice issues, acknowledges these and other cuts are painful but ministries will go on without paid chaplains.

“We feel like that there is staff on board there that can help facilitate coordination and the utilization of volunteers,” said Guice, a retired probation officer. “We have a tremendous volunteer pool from our churches and our communities now that are working in our prisons and doing a great job.”

Guice said subcommittee members will be able to con-

sider amendments this coming week. First-term Rep. Craig Horn, R-Union, is worried the short-term cutting will cost the state in the long term because prisoners without religion or a stronger character when released likely will reoffend and become incarcerated again.

“I have no sympathy for the guy in prison ... but the fact is there’s going to be a tomorrow and I don't want them to come back, so they’ve got to have hope,” Horn said. “I don’t think entirely relying on volunteers is the way to go.”

Division of Prisons Director Bob Lewis said volunteers benefit prisoners, but it would be difficult to find volunteers who could work at the level of the state's clinical chaplains. They are required to have a four-year degree, an advanced theology degree and one year of pastoral care training or two years in a pastorate.

The state chaplains facilitate and supervise religious activities for prisoners of all faiths. There are more than a dozen approved faith groups in the prisons, according to the Department of Correction, including Hinduism,

won’t take his eye off me. He won’t take his hand off me. I tried to avoid him, but every time I turn around goodness and mercy stalk me all the days of my life. I decided to see someone else; maybe then he would leave me alone. He said, “I’ll never leave you nor forsake you.

I ran with the world and laid up with money. I danced with the flesh and even made friends with the enemy. Yet Jesus declares, “Lo I am with you alway, even to the end of the world.”

American Indian and Wiccan besides the more common Christianity and Islam. The state must meet constitutional standards of giving prisoners the chance to express their religious preference without promoting one religion over another.

“I’ve never found a volunteer interested in dealing with all religions,” said the Rev. Randall Speer, chaplain at Central Prison in Raleigh, which houses 890 prisoners, including more than 150 men on death row.

Lewis said permanent chaplains also are preferable because they can be called in at any time to provide a calming influence during a disturbance. They offer prisoners — and even correctional officers — someone with whom to share personal problems or grief. State chaplains also can alert prison officials to potential gang activity. Since religious services are among the few places where prisoners gather during the week, some offenders can use the meeting as a ruse to build up membership, Lewis said.

“You’re all working together to keep a peaceful environment,” Speer said.

“We are a stabilizing force to help the staff and the inmate.”

Whitehurst, the ex-prisoner, is now a chaplain himself — one of the few paid by area churches to supplement work, not the state — at Pasquotank Correctional Institution, where he served time. Whitehurst said he’s not sure a volunteer could have figured out what he needed to get his life turned around like Askew did.

Askew “pretty much helped me understand that my life was not over,” Whitehurst said.

A silver Jesus was a real man lining T I am sure Jesus felt pain, sorrow and loss in his life. He needed to understand those experiences so he could comfort us when we have those same experiences.

crowd he got into a boat and told the disciples to head for the other side. He laid down in the boat and fell into such a deep sleep he didn’t even feel the boat rocking fiercely in the storm. They had to wake him up so he could calm the storm.

Jesus had to pray to God. When Jesus came to the earth he limited himself to our human experience with God. Jesus had to pray and talk to the Father, which we see in several places in the scripture. Jesus needed to recharge his spiritual batteries to prepare himself for ministry. He also needed to demonstrate for us the importance and the need for prayer in our lives.

Jesus had to wait for God’s timing. I believe that Jesus knew that Lazarus was sick and God probably told him when Lazarus died. Jesus had to wait for God’s timing to go to his friend because God wanted to do an incredible miracle by raising him from the dead. Poor Lazarus had to leave heaven to come back here.

I am sure Jesus felt pain, sorrow and loss in his life. He needed to understand those experiences so he could comfort us when we have those same experiences. I am also convinced that the disciples pulled some pranks on Jesus. I imagine he laughed heartily at some of the things they did.

The Bible teaches us that Jesus struggled with obedience and his flesh on that fateful night in the Garden of Gethsemane. Three times he went to the Father to ask if there was any other way besides the cross to bring redemption to the world. His flesh did not want to endure the pain and agony, but he made his flesh submit to God’s

will and purpose for his life.

The Bible teaches us that Jesus endured the cross because of the joy set before him, the joy of redeeming mankind. Jesus paid the ultimate price with his life so we can be forgiven and have a personal relationship with God. Jesus opens the door for God’s love and mercy and the opportunity to spend eternity in heaven.

Jesus made the way for every human who will receive the free gift of salvation. It’s priceless yet it is free because Jesus, the man, paid the price and rose again from the dead.

I want to encourage you to receive the free gift of eternal life with a loving God this Easter. If you have ever doubted, now is the time to settle the matter. Heaven and hell are real places and you will spend eternity in one of them. My prayer is that you will open your heart to receive the man Jesus as your Savior. God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit all love you. Happy Easter!

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Leaders of Muslim, Jewish and Christian congregations gathered Thursday at the Capitol to call for an end to the death penalty in Mississippi.

Death penalty supporter Ann Pace of Jackson, meanwhile, held pictures of her daughter, who she said died at the hands of a serial killer.

The main point of contention between the Mississippi Religious Leadership Conference and Pace is whether the death penalty effectively deters crime, but the issue also hinges on inequity in the criminal justice system and religious principles.

“We face the real possibility of three state-sanctioned executions within the next month,” said the Episcopal Rev. Carol Borne Spencer. “The organization thus felt that the time was now for us to ask our state leaders to find new ways to deal with one of the largest societal dilemmas of our time, that is how to deal with heinous criminal actions of murder and violence and still hold people accountable in ways that do not require the killing of a person.”

On Wednesday, the Mississippi Supreme Court set execution dates for two convicted killers, and Attorney General Jim Hood has requested an execution date for a third.

The religious conference, which grew out of the 1960s civil rights movement, asked Thursday for crime victim support. But members said executions only create new victims — the families of executed criminals. Isolating criminals is better than condemning them to death, members said.

Pace, whose daughter Murray Pace was slain by reputed south Louisiana serial killer Derrick Todd Lee in May 2002, disagrees.

Lee, 43, sits on death row at the Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola for Pace’s murder. Murray was killed at the age of 22, one week after graduating with

an MBA from Louisiana State University.

Lee is suspected of killing seven south Louisiana women between 1998 and 2003, but Pace said he has not yet been put to death because Louisiana state law allows too many appeals.

“Even though the case is a DNA case, his DNA in seven murders, and it’s been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court twice, Louisiana still provides for a system called post-conviction relief that can go on for years and years and years, and it made sense before forensic science. It does not make sense now,” said Pace.

She cited a series of studies in the early 2000s finding that each execution prevents between three and 18 slayings. The studies have been widely disseminated by prodeath penalty advocates but widely criticized for technical and conceptual errors by those who oppose execution.

“I am here for those three to 18 additional victims,” Pace said. “I think abolishing the death penalty is idealistic, sounds good, feels good to support, but it does not protect life, it does not protect us, and I think our most important moral obligation in our life is to protect ourselves, our children, and our community, and I think that the death penalty does in fact do that.”

In addition to the debate over deterrence, the Capitol press conference brought up issues of social equality and faith.

Okolo Rashid of Jackson's International Museum of Muslim Cultures signed the MRLC's call for a moratorium. She said her faith would allow her to support the death penalty if the system did not disproportionately execute black men.

Another MRLC member invoked the symbolism of the Christian day of Good Friday, which marks the day Jesus Christ was crucified.

“We know that Jesus Christ would not want the death penalty for anyone, having suffered himself at the hands of the state,” said the Catholic Bishop Joseph N. Latino of Jackson.

ave you ever found a silver lining in one of those clouds that hovered over your head? During this recent Multiple Sclerosis flare-up, I’ve tried to remain optimistic even though neither the medication nor the physical therapy have stopped the negative things LINDA that have been BECK happening.

It has become more and more difficult to push myself up to a standing position. I’ve been less and less able to stand long enough to get my clothes in place. In 2002 after the major MS exacerbation, I learned to dress lying down and that is what I have to do right now.

Once I make successful transfers I can get in my recliner to work on cards, write, read, or watch TV. I can still come and go in my van but am weaker than usual when I get home. It’s been easier for me to leave clothes lying on the bed rather than trying to hang them. The house is messier than usual but thankfully I have some help on Monday mornings.

All these years of having to push up have at times caused pain in my wrists, arms, shoulders, and back. At times I have had to get shots in my wrists and back to cope with the pain for a short while at least.

Recently when my right wrist started hurting, I went to see the doctor for a shot. We discussed all the problems I have been having and he gave me the shot.

As he started out the door, I told him one thing about not being able to push up is that the pain has not been as bad lately in my shoulders and back. My sweet doctor smiled and said, “You find a silver lining in every cloud in your life.

You are awesome!

I am not awesome! I serve an awesome God who has helped me through the years to be optimistic…to see my glass as half-full, instead of halfempty! God has blessed me with doctors who have been patient, concerned and interested in taking care of me. Just recently I had told my neurologist that some folks think I am bringing the weakness on by trying to do too much. We discussed this and he said I have a purpose and should continue as long as I feel able.

God has given me opportunities to use my health problems as a ministry to be a listener, and hopefully, a comforter to others who suffer as I have. He led me to become a speaker to share with others the Good News of Jesus Christ, to write and tell others how He has been there for me throughout these troubled times.

God has a plan for you and if you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, He will lead and guide you to fulfill that plan. He doesn’t promise us cloudless days but He can help us to find the silver lining in our personal clouds.

he beauty and wonder of spring are here. The leaves have returned to the trees with their fresh spring green color. I think the dogwoods have been especially beautiful this year. The azaleas are wonderful in their many glorious colors and shapes. Don’t get me started on all the spring flowers that have bloomed so beautifully, welcoming DOUG wonCREAMER this derful time of the year.

I know there are many people who are suffering because of all the pollen in the air. It’s the price we pay to finally put this long and cold winter behind us. For some the arrival of spring has not been so pleasant because of all the violent thunderstorms we have been enduring lately as winter and summer battle it out.

Soon they too will subside as we will have normal garden variety thunderstorms.

Spring also brings with it the Easter holiday. While most kids are looking forward to the bunny and his baskets full of candy, I find myself reflecting on the man, Jesus, who died and rose from the grave on Easter morning. He came to grant us forgiveness, to restore our relationship with God, and to give us the gift of eternal life.

I know Jesus is the Savior of the world, but he was also a man, human in every way.

Have you ever thought about the fact that Jesus enjoyed a good meal? In many of the stories in the Bible, Jesus is eating a meal when something happened. He also enjoyed a good glass of wine with his food. I bet Jesus knew his wines and which ones were better than others.

We also know that Jesus got tired. Even though he was the son of God, he felt the human weakness of being wiped out. One time after ministering to the

Saturday, April 23 A new flutter of activity could be in store for you in the year ahead, where your social interests are concerned. There’s a chance you could meet some people who will bring out the best in you and even open up new doors for you.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Being such a giving person, you can, upon occasion, be taken advantage of. Watch out for a sly individual who is skilled at using people at their own to his or her own advantage.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) — You’ll feel terrible if you damage a cherished object that you borrowed, so if you have anything in your possession that’s not yours, treat it with great respect.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Be extra careful if you find yourself in a conversation with someone whom you know holds strong, opposing opinions. Don’t let what this person has to say anger you and spoil your day.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Because your powers of observation are so much keener than usual, it might be extremely easy for you to spot the flaws in others. Nobody wants to hear your criticisms, so keep them to yourself.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — When you’re out with friends, make sure to pay your fair share of the check. However, don’t go so far as to pick up the entire bill just because everybody else is sitting on their wallets.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you are selecting a significant item for your home, make sure it isn’t too faddish. Stick to classic items that will survive the test of time.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — By racing to get things done, you cause tasks that are usually a snap to become burdensome and difficult to accomplish. The more you rush the job, the more mistakes you’re apt to make.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Even if your material circumstances are better than usual and showing signs of improvement, it’s never a time to be wasteful and extravagant.

Make what you spend counts for something.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Take the time to think your important moves through carefully and thoroughly. Impulsiveness and poor judgment are two tendencies that you may have to contend with.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Loose talk on your part could accidentally reveal something that was supposed to be a secret. If you speak without thinking, it’s possible that you’ll unintentionally tip someone else’s hand.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Don’t let your guard down on wasteful spending just because you’re out with friends. If you desire, go ahead and pay a generous share of the bill, but don’t go overboard.

Aries (March 21-April 19) — Upon occasion we all need to take some time for ourselves, and it might be your day to do so. If you find yourself stuck in low gear, take a break and do your own thing.

Stephen Hawking, during an interview by Germany’s Der Spiegel magazine, said, “We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.”

In today’s deal, South has two minor suits at his disposal in three no-trump.

Which should he attack first and how? West leads the spade seven: three, 10, queen.

North added one point for his good five-card suit; hence, his immediate jump to three no-trump.

South had six top tricks: two spades (given the first trick), one heart, two diamonds and one club. It looked normal to cash the diamond king and run the

diamond nine. But East won with his queen and returned the spade six (the higher of two remaining cards) to declarer’s ace. Then South ran the club queen, but East took the trick with his king and led his last spade: down one.

North muttered about East’s being more likely to have the diamond queen, but playing a diamond to dummy’s king, then running the jack, risked West’s producing the queen, when South would have needed the club finesse to work.

There was an even better approach. Suppose, at trick two, South leads a club to dummy’s ace and returns the club three toward his hand.

Here, if East goes up with his king, declarer has nine tricks via two spades, one heart, two diamonds and four clubs. And if East ducks his king, South shifts to diamonds.

At the worst, West could take the club queen with his

blood and those with a weakened immune system caused by treatments such as radiation should not be immunized.

Drugs.com indicates if a person has leukemia or lymphoma (or other cancer affecting bone marrow) or a weakened immune system caused by disease or by receiving medication such as steroids or chemotherapy, they should not take the vaccine.

The Mayo Clinic indicates the vaccine isn’t recommended if a person has a weakened immune system due to HIV/AIDS, lymphoma or leukemia or is receiving immune system-suppressing drugs such as steroids, radiation or chemotherapy and more.

MedlinePlus indicates a person who has a weakened immune system because of treatment with drugs that affect the immune system such as prolonged use of high-dose steroids, cancer treatment such as radiation or chemotherapy, cancer affecting the bone marrow or lymphatic system such as leukemia or lymphoma should not get the vaccine.

Therefore, I stand by my original March statement that indicated there are some people who should not receive the vaccine. However, that said, I defer to each reader’s oncologist, hematologist or other specialists who may have a different view on the subject.

Thank you all for writing.

long ago? Also, I can’t remember if I had chickenpox. Please advise.

Dear Dr. Gott: I read your column on the shingles vaccine with interest. However, I am wondering why you stated that those undergoing radiation for cancer or with a history of cancer should not have it.

In 2009, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. I also turned 60 that year and asked my oncologist about having the shingles vaccine. He said I could have it as long as I waited one month after I finished chemotherapy.

Have I done myself harm or is the vaccine or effective?

Also, if the vaccine only lasts six years, should I have another when I am 66 or avoid it owing to my cancer history?

Dear Readers: Thank you all for writing. When I wrote this article, I acquired the information from reputable sources including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that specifically indicates people with a weakened immune system because of HIV/AIDS or another disease that affects the immune system, treatment with drugs that affect the immune system, cancer treatment such as radiation or chemotherapy, a history of cancer affecting the bone marrow or lymphatic system such as leukemia or lymphoma, and women who are or might be pregnant should not get the vaccine.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration mirrors this and states conditions such as cancer of the lymph, bone or

Dear Dr. Gott: I just took the shingles vaccine at a local drugstore. I filled out papers but nowhere did it mention that anyone who had a history of cancer should not take the vaccine. Please advise.

Dear Dr. Gott: In your recent column, you said that the shingles vaccine should not be given to former cancer patients. I am in remission from large B cell nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. I DR. PETER have Wegener’s granuloGOTT matosis, which although in remission, is still there. The Wegener’s is the reason that a shingles vaccine is recommended. I will be having CD19 level blood testing before any vaccination, but with my history, should I still have the vaccine?

Dear Dr. Gott: I read your recent article regarding the shingles vaccine with much interest. My doctor recommended the vaccine for me; however, I am reluctant to get it. My concern is that I understand the vaccine is formulated with live virus and my white blood cell count is below normal.

Dear Dr. Gott: I read your article that the shingles vaccine is not right for everyone. I am 65 now and I had ovarian cancer 25 years ago with chemotherapy on weekends once a month for a year. Your article said I shouldn’t have the vaccine because I had cancer. Does this hold true for me even though I had cancer so

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER A strong low pressure system will make its way into the Northeast on Saturday, triggering heavy rain and thunderstorms throughout the day. As the system moves over the Great Lakes and into the Northeast, flow around it will pull additional moisture in from the Atlantic Ocean. Also, the system will drag a cold front behind it, stretching from the Northeast, down the Ohio River Valley, and into the Mid-Mississippi River Valley. Expect scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop along this front, with a slight chance of severe storm development over the Eastern Valleys due to prevailing warm and humid conditions. Rainfall totals will range from a half to an inch of rain, while areas of thunderstorm development may see up to 2 inches. This system has a history of producing damaging winds, large hail, and periods of intense downpours. Meanwhile, to the west, a ridge of high pressure builds over the Northern and Central Plains, allowing for a break in active weather. Expect clearing skies and warming temperatures across the North-Central US. Further west, another trough of low pressure moves onshore, pulling some moisture onshore with it. This will bring widespread scattered showers to northern California which will move into the Pacific Northwest throughout the day.

Walls that “wow” Painting is one of the easiest ways to freshen up a room, and painting walls really requires no special skills. Pick a new color you love - or simply freshen up the existing color. Hit the paint store and ask the staff there for some tips on how to make the job go smoothly.

Floors with flair Look down. What’s on the floor under your feet? Are you happy with what you see? If you’re living with stained carpet, shabby vinyl or hardwood that has seen better days, it’s time to make a change. If you were a DIY diva, you could refinish those hardwoods, lay some new carpet or rip out that vinyl with your bare hands. But if you’re a DIY newbie, you can change the look of your floor with a lot less effort and skill.

Wallpaper is another great way to revive a room’s look, but it’s traditionally considered a job requiring some sophisticated DIY skills. Until now, that is. Mural-maker MuralsYourWay.com now carries a line of wallpaper murals that is virtually DIY foolproof. SmartStick repositionable wall murals are backed with a patented adhesive that allows you to easily place the wallpaper on any flat surface (walls, windows, even doors), pull it down, reposition it, even move it to a different wall. The material does not rip or wrinkle and can even stand up to a trip through the washer and dryer. MuralsYourWay.com carries thousands of murals that can all be printed on SmartStick and customized to fit your wall exactly

Refinishing a hardwood floor may be beyond your skills, but virtually everyone can wield a paint brush and roller.

Simply paint tired wood floors in a neutral color - brown, tan, khaki or even white - to create a fresh-looking

Twins thrilled with rainout Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — Rain spared the Minnesota Twins from playing short-handed again, with Justin Morneau and Delmon Young still ailing and out of the lineup for Friday’s game before the steady precipitation prompted the postponement.

The sputtering defending division champions are counting on better, brighter days ahead.

“It hasn’t been a fun start for everybody, so hopefully we can move past this and put it behind us,” Morneau said as he left the clubhouse, a few minutes after the game was called.

The weather is expected to be better this weekend for the remaining two games at Target Field against the league-leading Cleveland Indians, and manager Ron Gardenhire said Morneau should be recovered enough from a stomach virus to try to return on Saturday afternoon.

Young took some pregame swings in the batting cage to test his sore ribs, and Gardenhire said the left fielder felt fine afterward. Had Young continued to experience pain, Gardenhire said he would probably be placed on the disabled list.

Associated Press MIAMI — Anibal Sanchez held the Colorado Rockies hitless Friday night until Dexter Fowler led off the ninth inning with a broken-bat single. Sanchez then got the final three outs for a one-hitter and the Marlins won 4-1.

Sanchez (1-1) had a career-high nine strikeouts, and the run off him was unearned. He threw a no-hitter for Florida as a rookie in 2006, and his one-hitter was the second this season. Dan Haren of the Los Angeles Angels had one in a 2-0 victory over Cleveland on April 12.

The hit off Sanchez came on his 116th pitch, and the first of the ninth. Fowler pulled a single to right field past second baseman Omar Infante, ending the no-hit bid.

Mets 4, Diamondbacks 1 NEW YORK — Ike Davis hit a two-run homer and Mike Pelfrey had his first effective start of the season to lead the New York Mets to a come-from-behind victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Dodgers 12, Cubs 2 CHICAGO — Juan Uribe hit a two-run homer, Andre Ethier extended his major league-best hitting streak to 19 games and the surging Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Chicago Cubs.

Uribe also had a run-scoring single in the Dodgers’ six-run third inning and a sacrifice fly in the sixth, giving him nine RBIs in his last three games and 12 this year.

Pinch-hitter Marcus Thames added a tworun drive in the ninth as Los Angeles set a season high for runs and hits (14).

Rangers destroy K.C. with home run rampage Associated Press ARLINGTON, Texas — Mike Napoli, Ian Kinsler and David Murphy were among five Rangers with homers and Texas beat the Kansas City Royals 116 on a windy Friday night.

Kinsler’s two-out solo shot in the fourth put the Rangers ahead for good after the Royals tied it with five runs in the top half.

Murphy’s two-run blast in the fifth made it 8-5, and Adrian Beltre went deep with the bases empty in the sixth to give Texas a four-run cushion.

Blue Jays 6, Rays 4, 11 innings TORONTO — John McDonald hit a two-run homer in the

bottom of the 11th inning.

McDonald connected for his first home run of the season against Rays right-hander Adam Russell (1-1).

Marc Rzepczynski (2-0) pitched one-third of an inning for the win as the Blue Jays handed the Rays their second straight defeat.

Toronto’s Jose Bautista hit his fifth home run of the season and finished a single shy of the cycle. He went 3 for 3, walked twice and scored four runs.

Juan Rivera hit a one-out single in the 11th off Cesar Ramos and Russell came on to face McDonald, who homered to left.

Yankees-Orioles BALTIMORE — New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi has had quite enough of April showers.

New York’s game against the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night was postponed by rain. It was the third washout of the young season for the Yankees, the second against the Orioles.

No makeup date was immediately announced, but Girardi indicated it will not be this weekend. With this rainout and the washouts of Washington’s

game at Pittsburgh and Cleveland’s game at Minnesota, there have been 15 postponements in the major leagues this season, just six shy of the total for all of 2010, according to STATS LLC. Sooner or later, though, the Yankees will pay for their unexpected night off. New York also must make up a rainout against Minnesota on April 6 and the one against Baltimore in New York on April 12.

“We don’t like it because you know they’re probably going to be split doubleheaders,” Girardi said. “It makes it tough, it makes it tough on your bullpen, it makes it tough on your guys.

But what are you going to do?

They don’t want to lose the gate.”

After this weekend, the Yankees return to Baltimore from May 18-19 and Aug. 26-29.

CC Sabathia, scheduled to start Friday, will instead pitch Saturday. After that, Girardi isn’t certain.
