Apples in hand, principals go high tech

Baseball card tally: 25,000 Music director has amassed comprehensive collection OUNT PLEASANT — Ruth Boger serves as music director for Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Rowan County.

She leads choir practice Wednesday nights, and about twice a month, the group presents special music for the Sunday service.

Boger also plays the church organ every Sunday.

During the week, she works MARK as an administraWINEKA tive assistant for Rowan-Salisbury Schools’ English as a Second Language program.

She also crochets, crossstitches and cans her own vegetables “like any farm girl.”

But 51-year-old Ruth Boger has a dark secret: She collects baseball cards.

“They almost pop open when you get them out,” Boger says pulling several of her binders off a living room shelf.

The three-ring notebooks are filled with clear plastic sheets holding card after card in her collection.

Boger figures she has 25,000 cards, which isn’t bad, considering she only started collecting 10 years ago.

She has an unusual array, built on her admiration for particular players and teams and an appreciation for the design of the cards themselves.

A fan of Cincinnati’s “Big Red Machine” in the 1970s, Boger has pages of old Johnny Bench and Pete Rose baseball cards. Truth be known, Bench — the Reds’ Hall of Fame catcher — is probably her favorite player of all time. She swoons like a school girl just looking at his cards.

Other baseball players Boger built her collection on include Cal Ripken Jr., Ken Griffey Jr., Frank Thomas and Derek Jeter.

“You know, a lot of women like Jeter because of his looks,” she apologizes.

Her favorite teams through the years have included the Reds, Baltimore Orioles, Atlanta Braves and Chicago White Sox. Boger says she got into card col-

Educators say iPads will save time and increase ties with students

SALISBURY — Some administrators in the Rowan-Salisbury School System are saying goodbye to pen and paper and hello to iPads.

All seven of the district’s middle school principals received the devices last week.

Rita Foil, the school system’s public information officer, said the iPads were purchased with dollars from the middle school curriculum fund to act as a tool to increase efficency and decrease paper waste.

“As we continue to move toward more online exfor pectations evaluations, classwalkroom throughs, assessments, etc. it is important that the inSKIP CRAFT structional leaders Southeast East Middle are able to effecprincipal tively and effiutilize ciently technology tools to ensure the success of teachers and students,” she said in an email to the Post.

Foil said all principals can now perform teacher evaluations online, but the iPads will give middle school administrators an added advantage.

“The iPad is mobile and affords the principals the opportunity to record information in a timely manner, be visible in the classrooms and continue to main efficient operations,” she said.

“I was in classes today with my iPad doing walkthrough evaluations and the kids were fired up, they kept asking ‘is that an iPad?’ ”

Although the principals have only had the devices since Wednesday, they are already making use of them.

Nancy Barkemeyer, principal of West Rowan Middle, said she’s excited to have the new technology at her fingertips.

Thursday “I walked through rooms showing my iPad off to students, taking pictures and having conversations with kids about how technology makes learning more fun,” she said in an email. “Having a new ‘toy’ helped me make connections with some kids.”

Southeast Middle School Principal Skip Kraft said his iPad has also sparked interest among students.

“I was in classes today with my iPad doing walkthrough evaluations and the kids were fired up, they kept asking ‘is that an iPad?’ ” he said. “They love it.”

Dr. Beverly Pugh, principal at CorriherLipe Middle, used her new iPad when U.S. Congressman Howard Coble, R-6th, stopped by social studies teacher Tim Safrit’s class Thursday.

Lawmakers grapple with recovery after outbreak of tornadoes More than 6,000 homes and businesses damaged RALEIGH (AP) — Firstterm Rep. Mike Stone stood outside his downtown Sanford grocery store two Saturdays ago when he saw a tornado barreling through two blocks away that ultimately destroyed the Lowe’s Home Improvement store nearby.

The enormity of the funnel cloud and resulting anxiety upset earlier plans for Stone’s workers to huddle in the store’s meat cooler during a weather emergency. Instead, everyone fled the store.

“You can’t imagine what you’re seeing. It’s almost disbelief,” Stone said. “I was really frightened for my life.”

[|xbIAHD y0 0 1rzu

When he reached the storm scene a half-hour later, he saw the devastation — the steel roof peeled off the Lowe’s, windows blown out of the Tractor Supply Co. store nearby, cars flipped and customers in shock. He also called House Speaker Thom Tillis and another House colleague to let them know help was needed.

“I didn’t know how bad the damage was, but I knew it was far more than we had ever seen,” said Stone, R-Lee. Stone and other state lawmakers representing areas in the path of more than two dozen tornadoes that went Today’s forecast 85º/63º Mostly sunny

through North Carolina — killing at least 24 people and damaging more than 6,000 homes and business — are comforting constituents while greasing the wheels of state and federal governments for cleanup and relief efforts.

General Assembly members with damage in their districts vow to be vigilant to find solutions for people who aren’t made whole by either the initial government response or charity. People who lost everything in the storms don’t have the means to come to Raleigh and persuade the Legislature that extra spending during a tough budget year is justified, said Senate Minority Leader Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe.

“They are going to be in hopeless situations,” said Nesbitt, who led a legislative drive

to pass a $248 million relief package for western North Carolina after 2004 floods in the mountains and complaints victims were still waiting for help months later. “The people who need to represent them need to do it because no one else will speak up for them.”

Following the April 16 tornadoes, legislators have surveyed the damage and reassured storm victims. Within three days, President Barack Obama had approved Gov. Beverly Perdue’s disaster declaration request for federal financial assistance for small businesses, individuals and local governments.

Training continues as Triathlon nears Less than a week away from the second annual Buck Hurley triathlon.

Many of the novice athletes have asked questions how to prepare for the race. We have covered workouts, equipment, transitions and now what to eat the day ESTER before and MARSH how to prepare for race day.

You have trained hard and this week you can go with your normal tri workouts today, Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday, go easy with a run, bike ride and a swim followed by a

nice long stretching session.

On Friday, pick one of the events and go easy again, once more followed by a stretching session. Saturday is a rest day.

Packet pick-up for the race is 5-7 p.m. Friday at Windsong Bicycle shop, 4-6 p.m. Saturday at the JF Hurley Family YMCA and 6-7 a.m. on race day, which is Sunday.

Food choices on Saturday should be foods you are used to. Don’t try any new recipes or foods.

Try to go easy on the fibers and make sure you hydrate. Have a dinner with lots of carbohydrates, such as spaghetti and eliminate (or limit) alcohol intake.

Have all your equipment ready to go: tri-suit or swim suit, goggles, bike, helmet,

bike shoes and/or your running shoes, towel, water bottle and maybe sunblock (I hope), hat, gloves, sunglasses and other extras that can make your race more comfortable.

The race starts at 7:45 a.m., so you want to eat breakfast by 5:45 a.m. at the latest.

The JF Hurley YMCA will be open at 5:45 a.m. on race day. If you have your packet you can go straight to the back of the YMCA where the transition area is located.

Find your spot. It will be the bike rack with your number.

There will be plenty of volunteers to assist you. Enjoy the race, and always stay positive and be proud of yourself.

Notes for triathletes For a successful race: • Arrive early.

• Be prepared with raceday items.

• Make sure you are body marked.

• Affix timing chip and strap to ankle.

• Be sure to affix bike frame number.

• Attach race number to front of shirt that you will be wearing during the run. Use race belt or safety pins available at registration or chip distribution table.

• Enter transition area in an orderly fashion • Lay out your gear (sneakers, socks, towel, helmet, water, etc.) neatly and concisely next to your racked bike on the side facing your number Ester H Marsh, ACSM Cpt

Memories of that ‘new puppy smell’ remain vivid O

ne morning in November, 1964, when I was 13, I woke up to something moving around and making noises on top of my chest.

The source of this modest amount of commotion was a small puppy. My brother Joe had been driving down the Heilig Road and skirted around someMACK thing lying WILLIAMS there. When he went back, pulled off of the road and got out to examine what he had seen, he found a small puppy wrapped in a towel.

We placed an ad in the Salisbury Post and no one

claimed it, so the puppy became ours. In thinking about the circumstances of the puppy’s discovery by my brother Joe, “not wanted” was a much better descriptive term of the puppy than “lost and found.”

The puppy was moving around on my chest and making all of the appropriate “puppy” noises. I remember its breath smelling somewhat reminiscent of smoke, although I don’t think that this was during our family’s annual “leaf burning time.”

The facial markings of the little creature gave it the appearance of having dark circles around ite eyes.

Since this was November 1964, and since the presidential election had already taken place, and since presidential candidate Sen. Barry

Goldwater wore dark rimmed glasses, and since we were Republicans, I named the puppy “Goldwater.” The puppy was soon discovered to be female, so we named it something more appropriate: “Suzie.”

Some years later, Suzie gave birth to a litter of puppies.

We gave away all of them, except for one that was the same color as saltwater taffy, so we named her “Taffy.”

Sometime around 1970, Suzie ran away while I was at college and we never saw her again, but we still had Taffy. When my mother moved to Salisbury in 1973, a friend, Ada Ruth Beeker adopted Taffy, since pets were not allowed in the apartment where my mother was moving. Many years lat-

er, Ada Ruth told my mother that Taffy had died of old age, and that she had buried her in her yard.

Taffy was always a sweet dog, highly excitable, but happily so. Her uncontrollable happiness upon seeing us, when we had been parted from her awhile, always resulted in her leaving a puddle in the wake of her excitement Most people can only count the number of their true friends on the fingers of one hand, with a few uncounted fingers left over. In reflecting back on Taffy, even until this day I can count on only one finger the number of friends in my life, animal or human, who were so excited to see me that complete bladder control was lost on a regular basis.

rain farmers face many challenges through the winter and spring growing season.

One of the challenges many Rowan County farmers take on is the battle of crop destroying pests such as the cereal leaf beetle. Cereal leaf beetles can be extremely destructive to a crop if not adSCOTT dressed in TILLEY time.

This enduring insect can feed on wheat, barley and oats. Additionally, adults can feed on corn through the early summer months, but cause no real damage and have no

G

impact on corn yield.

The life cycle of the cereal leaf beetle is very simple.

Adult beetles overwinter in fallen leaves and can live in ground stover and other plant debris along forested field edges. As the warm spring months begin to emerge, the adults will colonize and lay eggs in small grain crops come the month of late March and April.

Adults lay their eggs along the veins of healthy green leaves. These eggs are easy to spot as they have a yellow to orange glow color.

Though their color may give them away, they are very small and may not be seen unless you know what to look for. According to North Carolina State University Extension entomologists, these

eggs can hatch within five days.

Larvae then begin to grow.

Newly developed larvae, as well as full-grown larvae, take on the same characteristics having six legs towards the head with a large fat abdomen.

All larvae have a brown to black color, but are most identifiable by the black mucus and fecal material that cover their bodies. It is this stage within the life cycle that farmers must be aware of the insect’s destructive nature.

Larvae eat the leaves of small grains. Larvae consume the upper leaf green tissue. Because of this, plants take on a white pale appearance. The plant fails to maintain the process of photosyn-

thesis and therefore will not bear fruit. The plant will eventually die.

Once summer has arrived, the larvae that have survived will dig into the ground and will begin their transformation process into adulthood.

Adults are 3⁄16 of an inch long with a black metallic head and wings. The legs and front thorax are red.

Though farmers usually use preventive measures to avoid the insect, cereal leaf beetle is common and is usually treated every year using a synthetic pyrethroid pesticide. For more information, call the Rowan County Extension Center at 704-216-8970.

Pampers free: Not your mom’s cloth diapers

BY JOANIE MORRIS For the Salisbury Post

CONCORD — Parents in Cabarrus County found a different way to celebrate Earth Day on Saturday as parents from all over the county came together at McGee Park on Corban Avenue to help set a Guinness World Record with other parents all over the globe.

The Great Cloth Diaper Change was an event celebrated in more than 400 locations worldwide. Parents got together, and at exactly 12:30 p.m. changed their child’s cloth diaper. In order to qualify, each location had to have at least 25 children changed.

Stephanie Brown, owner of Nutty Brown and organizer of the event in Concord,

said on the other side of the world, parents changed their little ones at 12:30 a.m.

She organized the event in Concord simply “to bring awareness to cloth diapering.”

“I’ve been trying to find a way to get people who cloth diaper together,” said Brown. When she got information from other store owners who had heard about the event, she decided it would be the perfect chance to get those parents together and maybe bring other parents to cloth diapering.

As a mother herself, Brown understands the hesitation to cloth diaper. Her daughter, now 5, started out Joanie morris/SALiSBuRY poSt in disposable diapers. She parents change their children on picnic tables at mcGee park in did some research and while

Concord as part of the worldwide Great Diaper Change, where cloth diapering groups hope to set a new world record.

RCCC biotech grad hired KANNAPOLIS — N.C. State University has hired one of the first graduates from the Rowan-Cabarrus Community College biotech program.

Lorie Solomon works as a research technician to help maintain the population of Dr. Allan Brown’s research specimens.

Brown is a faculty member with N.C. State’s Plants for Human Health Institute at the N.C. Research Campus in Kannapolis.

In the past 10 years, Kannapolis resident Solomon’s career has made a few interesting turns.

After years behind a computer at a desk job, she found herself on a manufacturing assembly line.

Though she enjoyed the fast pace of the line, she was sidelined by carpal tunnel syndrome and ultimately laid off. She decided the time was right to go back to school.

Solomon graduated in May 2010 with an associate degree in biotechnology. A member of the first graduating class of the biotechnology program at RCCC, Solomon parlayed her training into a fulltime job in Brown’s lab.

“Lorie made herself too valuable to let go,” Brown said. “She started out as an unpaid intern and worked her way into the program.

“She demonstrated a great work ethic, showed up when we needed her, did what needed to be done and never complained.”

As a student, Solomon learned how to operate common pieces of laboratory equipment. She also learned the importance of following protocol to ensure the best results.

In addition to pollinating broccoli and extracting glucosinolates in the lab, Solomon will add greenhouse management to her duties in the near future. She will work closely with the cabbage germplasm recently acquired by N.C. State to evaluate varieties for production performance in North Carolina.

Solomon said she plans to take at least one class a semester through N.C. State and possibly work toward a bachelor’s degree.

“I can attend seminars by leading scientists and understand the basics of their research,” she said.

“I hear vocabulary and concepts I’m now familiar with.”

Volunteers receive governor’s service award Three of North Carolina’s top 20 volunteers or volunteer groups selected as the 2011 Governor’s Volunteer Service Award are from Rowan County, and together account for lifetimes of service to individuals and organizations.

This year the awards go to Rodney Cress, Mark Ritchie and the Rowan Regional Medical Center Auxiliary.

Rodney Cress Rodney Cress, founder of the Rowan League of Veterans, an advisory board member and volunteer with Faithful Friends, and Flight of Honor committee member of Rotary, stays pretty busy, balancing everyone else’s needs before his own, his nominator, Anne Ingram, says.

“Rodney Cress does something every day of his life in service to the veterans of the U.S. military and to help animals who are homeless and hungry,” Ingram, of Faithful Friends, wrote in her nomination.

Over the last three years, she said, Cress has paid for 44 cats to be altered and vaccinated, and CRESS found the 10-acre tract of land where the new animal sanctuary is being built.

“In the four years Faithful Friends has been in existence, I have called Rodney a thousand times, asking, ‘Rodney, can you,’ ‘Rodney will you,’ and, ‘Rodney, do you know anybody who can...’” In-

AREA/OBITUARIES

New methods to save money ike most of us, I am still looking for ways to save some money.

Several things have happened over the last few weeks that are worth mentioning. Not that I mean to replace any of those newspaper frugal advice columns, and maybe nobody else will use my ideas. But they work for me.

The other day, I saw Susan Burrell at the Mahaley Food Lion Deli, where she works.

We always talk running before I DAVID leave the FREEZE store. Somehow she knows when I enter that store, just as she did on this day. She offered a tip on eating pb&j sandwiches.

That is peanut butter and jelly to you non-texters.

Long, long ago, I loved them. Susan told me how great her running was going while eating multiple pb&js. I bought the store brand crunchy peanut butter, some good quality blackberry jam, and the cheap whole wheat bread.

That evening, I ate three,

L

then two more the next morning, another later in the day. My running responded. My process evolved by switching to Smucker’s blackberry preserves. 15 or more sandwiches for about $6, plus added protein and good carbs for my running.

There is peanut butter and jelly left over for the next loaf of bread.

A day or two later, I discovered the Merita Bread Store on Statesville Boulevard. There are some really good deals, but none better than the high quality oat and multigrain breads. All for about $1.50 a loaf, less than half the store price.

They have blackberry preserves in a much bigger size for about the same money. I have progressed to toasting my high quality bread, before spreading the crunchy peanut butter on half of one slice. After initially putting the jelly on top of the peanut butter, I have found it much easier to spread by putting it on the virgin half of the toast.

Then simply fold it over and eat. Do it one more time and it makes a filling meal. The Merita Bread store is now high on my list to help save money. My previous wives and girl-

friends might not agree, but my only real vice is eating too many brownies.

The store has them for 3 for $1. Hard to beat, but I do realize that if too many brownies are purchased, there will be less cost savings.

Biggest on my list of cost savings is my recent decision to not attend Kate and William’s wedding. In 2008, I visited England for the purpose of running the London Marathon. My visit consisted of a fabulous week of sightseeing, and a realization that I liked the British people. They do some strange things, but some say I do too. They like to drive on the wrong side of the road. Good thing they all got together and planned it, otherwise there would be some bad wrecks.

They sell gas in liters, not gallons. It sounds cheap, but isn’t. Londoners like to walk, run, bike, and seem more active than Americans. All their cars are really small, so maybe that is why so many are walking.

There just wasn’t room in the car. Regardless of all these attributes, I still will stay home. Westminster Abbey seems a beautiful venue for a wedding, but I felt strange walking on the

cement covered burial plots from a thousand years of Royals. I’m not sure exactly where I would get to sit, but rest assured we’ll see the wedding much better on TV than in person. The Abbey has terrible sight lines.

Kate is really attractive, and looks like a runner. I am sure that she’ll be upset that I won’t make it. I called one of my past girlfriends “Her Highness,” but at least she never made me address her as “Your Highness.”

That is the closest that I ever got to royalty. Kate will be called both. Like many of you, I will get up to see the wedding very early on Friday. Buckingham Palace is beautiful and the Royal Guards will put on a great show while on horseback. The double decker sightseeing buses, the Thames (pronounced Tims) River, Big Ben, the Tube (subway) and so much more remind me of all the great sights I saw on that trip.

Come Friday morning, I will be frugal by watching the wedding at home on TV and I’ll have a PB&J or two.

Maybe a brownie too. I’ve just saved enough money to splurge a little! And someone else can use my seat in Westminster Abbey.

member for the Center for Faith and the Arts, and a very active member of St. John’s Lutheran Church, was “instrumental” in creating the life coaching program at Rowan Helping Ministries, his nominator, Cam Campbell, says.

The life coaching program, is free and pairs clients with a life coach who “can p r o v i d e them with advice on resolving difficult situat i o n s , ” Campbell RITCHIE said in her nomination statement.

“Mark’s spent many hours developing this plan, which included creating interview questions, short- and long-range planning and goal setting techniques,” Campbell said.

Life coaches, Campbell said, “provide immediate and ongoing support in connection with short-term case management, spiritual counseling and/or crisis intervention to deal with the challenges individuals may feel in transitioning from a crisis toward a more stable and whole living situation.”

“Mark is able, through his work, to help individuals and families move toward a

stable life,” she said. “He is able to give them guidance and direction, and help them find hope to feel empowered to move beyond a life of crisis.”

In 2010, Ritchie worked with 14 individuals and two couples, and works one-onone for a six week period and also provides ongoing support, Campbell said.

Ritchie is also a volunteer with New Tomorrows and leads monthly Bible devotions with shelter guests.

“One of Mark’s special skills is active listening,” Campbell said. “He demonstrates a relaxed attentivenesss to his clients while communicating compassion and hope,” and “focuses on the support and encouragement needed for the client to follow through with the plan.”

the auxiliary, “donate their time, talents and efforts to working with our hospital and serving our community.”

“Partnering with hospital staff, auxiliary members work to provide services which the medical center might not otherwise afford,” she said. ‘What makes these volunteers different from others is the relentless efforts and passion they have for making their community hospital a strong, successful organization.”

In 2010 the auxiliary provided more than 1,000 stuffed animals, coloring books and crayons to pediatric patients at the hospital, and purchased a Wii system fo the rehabilitation center, and also purchased a new set of playground equipment for the child development center.

“Each day these auxiliary volunteers come in and provide services that cannot be valued at any price, whether it be a simple hello, a warm hug, a friendly touch, or a kind smile, they are invaluable to our organization,” Makransky said. “Each auxiliary member brings something unique and special to our organization. However, each one also has the same common drive in mind; the passion to serve an organization that they value and believe in.”

FROM 3a gram said. “And the answer has always been yes.”

In 2010 Cress collected, organized and distributed over 10,000 pounds of pet food and 500 pounds of cat litter to Faithful Friends, pet owners in need and caretakers of feral cat colonies. He also cares for his own feral cat colony of around 30 cats, along with veterinary care, shelter and food for them.

Ingram also commends Cress for his work with veterans, helping them to receive medical care or other benefits.

“He is fiercely patriotic, and what he always says first about veterans is a humble, ‘thank you,’ for their sacrifice for our country,” Ingram said.

“What I admire and respect most about him is that he is incredibly hard-working for something he believes in, and he will persevere when the going gets tough... Rodney is an unselfish man, honest as the day is long, loyal to a fault and has a strong sense of integrity.”

CrimeRoundup A Cleveland woman is in jail for child abuse for being too impaired to take care of her child, an arrest warrant said.

Jennifer K a r e n Whisenant, 44, of 1815 Third Creek WHISENANT C h u r c h Road, was arrested Saturday night and is under a $2,500 secured bond for misdemeanor child abuse,

simple possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

According to emergency scanner traffic Saturday, a juvenile boy called 911 to report that his mother went to a neighbor’s house and came back impaired.

The arrest warrant by the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office indicated Whisenant was impaired on prescription medication, “to the point where she was unable to care for her child.”

Other arrests: • Barbara Hamilton, 75, of 165 Rock Pond Road, was arrested Sunday for assault with a deadly weapon and communicating threats.

According to a private warrant by victim Ronnie Nix of Gastonia, Nix was mowing the grass Sunday morning about 10 a.m. near Raymond Meadows Road, when Hamilton came up to him behind the wheel of her Lincoln Town Car, and attempted to push him off of his mower and into a pond.

Nix said he jumped onto the hood of her car after she hit his lawnmower, and Nix said Hamilton told him she was going to kill him.

Nix said Hamilton left and then went to church.

The dispute, the warrant said, was over recently purchased land.

SALISBURY POST

CLOTH FROM 3a she was pregnant with her son, she switched her daughter to cloth diapers. The two are 15 months apart and Brown says she saved hundreds on diapers by cloth diapering when both were in diapers together.

Jessica Miller, who brought her daughter Elizabeth to the event, started as a mom who used disposables.

Elizabeth is her third child and the first she’s cloth diapered.

“I think they are easier than disposables in some ways,” said Miller. “You never have to go to the store for

A R E A / S TAT E

more.”

Miller said not only are the diapers convenient — all you have to do is a load of laundry if you’re on your last diaper — but they are better for the environment and her daughter’s behind. Cloth diapered children have less instances of diaper rash than children who use disposables because of the chemicals found in disposable diapers.

She does the laundry every other day, but admits she could probably do it even less than that. She spent about $300 to start cloth diapering.

According to Diaperco.com, in one year, a child can go through about 3,000 disposable diapers. At an average cost of 20 cents per diaper, parents spend $600 on diapers

alone per year. Miller will not have to buy more diapers, because she has one-size diapers that her daughter will be able to use until she potty trains.

In addition, parents who cloth diaper can clean their diapers and sell them once their children are done with them.

Miller admitted that cloth diapering is addicting.

“It’s like a sickness,” she said with a laugh. “Once you start buying them, there are so many cute ones out there you want them all.”

Miller and the other 25 parents and guardians who participated in the event waited for the countdown and started diapering their little ones at exactly 12:30 p.m. They were all done by 12:31 p.m. In other parts of the world, par-

ents and guardians were doing the same. Event coordinators estimate that 10,000 children were cloth diapered at 12:30 p.m. EST. In addition to cloth diapering their little ones, Brown also coordinated an Easter egg hunt for the children, and had a raffle drawing for parents. She gave away gift certificates to local businesses, as well as things like car seat ID tags, training pants, coupons and even earrings from The Bead Lady.

Wilmington goes for record for longest model train WILMINGTON (AP) — Wilmington railroad fans make a bid for the longest model train that could move under its own power with 34 locomotives and 1,700 freight cars.

The StarNews of Wilmington reported that hundreds of people gathered Saturday at Wilmington Convention Center’s exhibition hall to see how far the 925.55-foot-long train could go. Convention center spokeswoman Jenni Harris says the train chugged along for 750 feet.

According to the Guinness World Record website, the record for the longest scale model train was set at 892 feet, 3 inches in Hamburg, Germany in 2008.

It wasn’t clear whether the Wilmington train would officially make the record books. Staff of the Wilmington Railroad Museum said the goal was to raise awareness for the museum.

ELIZABETH CITY (AP) — Several factors have combined to triple the number of homeless students in a coastal North Carolina county.

The Daily Advance of Elizabeth City reported Sunday that Perquimans County Schools has 60 students classified as homeless this year, up from 18 last year.

School system social worker Latonia Johnson says the tough economy, house fires and cases of domestic violence have contributed to the rise. Johnson says the students are not sleeping on streets, but their families do not have a

fixed home. They may be living with other families, in shelters, motels or cars.

The schools provide the students with free meals, tutoring, after-school programs and other services to help the whole family.

Currituck County Schools also has seen an increase in homeless students and have 53 this year.

E N T E R TA I N M E N T

My life as a frog: Jumping out of the boiling pot of debt Frogs are not exactly the most intelligent creatures on the planet.

I have been told that if you try to pop a frog into a pot of boiling water, he’ll jump out every time.

That’s pretty smart. But if you put the little fellow into a pot of cold water, set it on a low and flame MARY warm it up HUNT slowly, he’ll sit back and let you cook him to death. That’s really dumb.

I imagine the frog is so im-

pressed by the nice warm water he doesn’t pay attention to what’s going on. Before he knows what hit him, Bam! Fresh frog soup.

I spent a lot of years as a frog. Oh, I was never so foolish as to buy a boat or a car with my credit card. That’s a boiling pot none of us could tolerate. No, when I jumped into the pot, it was really cool — filled with freedom and options. My credit cards bridged that tiny gap between what we earned and what we needed for the lifestyle we’d chosen. I don’t even remember when the temperature began to rise. It was so gradual.

Maybe I flinched the first time we “revolved,” when we couldn’t pay our credit card bill in full. But I soon got used to the warming water. By the time I was fully cooked, I’d accumulated more than $100,000 in unsecured debt.

Ouch!

You have no idea how many times I’ve asked myself how I could have let that happen. My only explanation is that it happened so gradually I didn’t notice. I just consistently overspent, adding new debt to old debt and revolving all of it from month to month.

I was flattered by credit card applications and credit

limit increases. I believed they made a statement about my character.

Like a frog, I just sat there as the water got hotter and hotter and hotter.

Thankfully, I did shed my amphibious nature and got out of a rolling boil, but not without a lot of, shall we say, cooling down. It took a full 13 years to repair the mess.

Are things getting a little warm for you? You could be close to the boiling point and completely oblivious. Perhaps it’s time to take your temperature.

Here’s a thermometer of telltale signs to determine whether you’re about to get

Parents disappointed by son’s lack of contact Dear Amy: Our immediate family includes an adult son, his wife and their young children.

For reasons unknown to us, about a year ago our daughter-inlaw decided to severely limit contact with our family.

Our son has followed ASK her lead.

AMY We have attempted to find the reason for this bewildering and hurtful behavior, but they are not forthcoming.

We have accepted the fact that we cannot control their behavior, only our reaction to it. We are moving on, sadder but wiser.

Our question involves our son’s elderly grandmother.

She keeps asking where my son and his family are, when will they be visiting her, why she doesn’t see them anymore and if they are all right?

We have assured her that they are fine — just busy — and that relieves her mind for a while. But she too seems hurt that our son is out of contact with her.

We have told our son in phone and email messages that his grandmother would love a phone call or visit.

We feel we have done all we can and it is not our responsibility to remind a nearly 40-year-old man to be considerate of someone with whom he previously enjoyed a warm, friendly relationship.

Should we continue to try to reach him before it’s too late?

— Disappointed Parents Dear Disappointed: If you have accepted this unhappy state of affairs, why are you lying to your son’s grandmother about his behavior?

It is OK to react honestly and say, “Gran, Chas has been terrible about keeping in touch with us too. We’ve left him a couple of messages asking him to give you a call, but we can’t really do much beyond that.”

This older family member might have some ideas or insight into this challenging situation. Ask for her advice.

You don’t mention where your son lives, but you should email him and say you’d like to visit. Keep it simple and low pressure. Ask if you can treat the family to dinner.

Ask if you can attend any event the kids might be participating in or take them on an outing.

I agree with your stance not to take responsibility for your son’s behavior, but I

don’t think you’ve done quite enough to try to determine why he is so isolated from your family.

Dear Amy: I recently left my job to accept a new position.

I want to write a thank-you note to my previous employer.

I’m leaving on good terms, but I’m afraid I will come across as desperate for glowing references in the future.

Is this a thoughtful thing to do — or just tacky?

— Farewell Dear Farewell: It would not have occurred to me that your thank-you note would automatically translate to a preening request for a recommendation, so why would it occur to your recipient?

It’s smart to keep in touch with former employers, and it’s nice to say “thank you” to people who have been kind, indulgent, patient and encouraging. If your sincere expression translates to a favorable recommendation in the future, then all the better.

Dear amy: “I know I’m Right” was miffed when he brought fine wine to a dinner party and the wine wasn’t served with dinner.

I disagree with your response and think the hostess’s

A Smile is a wonderful gift Dr. Chris Hartung and Dr. Beverly Broadwell

action was in poor taste.

The hostess “scooped” the fine wine and, in return, served him her cheap swill.

This is one of the oldest tricks in the book, and the hostess should be ashamed of herself.

A host should always offer to serve the food or wine that has been brought by the guest.

I bring my good wine to the party and leave it in the car.

If the hostess is pouring fine wine, I will return to the car and bring in my wine to share, saying I forgot to bring it in.

If swill is being served, I excuse myself. I have a wine opener in my car and fill my glass with my own stash, then return to the party.

— Touche Dear Touche: If you were a guest of mine, I’d suggest you stay in your car.

Internet star Antoine Dodson arrested HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) — Internet viral video hit Antoine Dodson is accused of possession of marijuana and other minor charges in his home state of Alabama.

Dodson was booked on five misdemeanor charges after he was stopped pulled over for alleged speeding early Saturday morning in Huntsville. He was booked at about 2:30 a.m. but has been released.

Dodson became a reality sensation last year after a televised rant about a breakin at his sister’s apartment was turned into a viral video that catapulted the 20-yearold into television appearances, blog mentions and other appearances.

He could not be immediately reached for comment Saturday. A message on Dodson’s Twitter account about 11:30 a.m. read in part: “Just got out of jail off a weak charge.”

Hazel Dickens, bluegrass performer, dies at 75 WASHINGTON (AP) — Hazel Dickens, a folk singer and bluegrass musician who advocated for coal miners, has died at age 75.

Dickens died Friday morning at a Washington hospice of complications from pneumonia. Her death was confirmed by Ken Irwin, a founder of Rounder Records, her label for about 40 years.

Dickens, a vocalist and double-bassist, became a fixture in the bluegrass circuit in the 1960s and 1970s with her musical partner, Alice Gerrard. The duo performed as Hazel & Alice and released several albums, emerging as some of the earliest prominent women in bluegrass and paving the way for other female folk singers.

Dickens’s music was later featured in the “Harlan County, USA,” Barbara Kopple’s 1976 Oscar-winning documentary about Kentucky coal miners.

“She cared a great deal for working people and the downtrodden and wrote about issues that generally were not addressed in bluegrass or country,” Irwin said.

Among her honors was a 2008 induction into the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame and a National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts.

iPADS FROM 1a Pugh said she’s looking forward to going paperless and providing instant feedback to teachers.

“It’s all about improving classroom instruction,” she said.

China Grove Middle Principal James Davis said he also likes the immediacy of the iPad. This week he took notes, filled out an evaluation and emailed it to the teacher before even stepping out of the classroom.

“I think the impact that it has on classroom instruction for students in making teachers more effective is by far the No. 1 way we can use it,” Davis said.

Davis said some of his teachers have already gotten to experiment with his iPad, using it for math drills, tutorials, reading free books, flash cards and accessing newspapers and magazines.

“My hope is that teachers would receive them at some point,” he said. “And, ideally kids would have them too.”

Davis said technology greatly increases student engagement.

“I think with this type of technology the possibilities for instruction are endless,” he said. “I think it’s a good tool for administrators, kids and teachers.”

lecting as a fun pastime, not to make money.

“Most of them are not worth but a nickel or a dime,” she says, “but some might be worth something some day.”

Her living room is a small baseball museum. Corner shelves hold the binders filled with baseball cards, a baseball Monopoly game, ballcaps and handsome baseball history books, which would dominate any coffee table.

“The Orioles cap is my mowing-the-yard cap,” she explains.

A main wall has framed photographs of Bench and Rose from their playing days.

Rose, the game’s all-time hits leader but banned from baseball for betting, deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, Boger says. And she still disputes whether Henry Aaron really beat Babe Ruth’s career home run record in 1974, because it took him so many more games to pass Ruth’s 714 total.

Raised on her parents’ farm just outside of Mount Pleasant, Boger watched baseball games at night — the Braves and the Reds — with her father. Her love of baseball took root when she was 9 years old.

But the card collecting started in 2001 when she was sidelined with a third back surgery. Her recovery kept

games at home and complains when games are blacked out in certain markets.

“I’ve written to them quite a few times when they did that,” she says.

She limits her love of card collecting and sports in general to baseball “It’s silly,” she says of football, “for 100 people to jump on one guy (with the ball).”

Boger’s own experience on the diamond was limited to impromptu games with cousins on the farm and a girls softball team at church.

“I got excited one night when I hit a triple,” she recalls.

On defense, she played left field and says she always prayed the right-handed power hitters wouldn’t sock it her way.

Boger lost her husband to cancer several years ago and from 2005 to 2009 she moved back to the homeplace to help care for her father until he passed away. It curtailed her card collecting for awhile.

But Boger is getting the fever again.

“I’m going to get back into looking at the more modern guys now,” she promises.

Boger out of work for a year. When she was able to drive, she began going to baseball card shops and flea markets, becoming enamored with the cards of players from her youth.

“I’ve been a baseball fan a long time,” she says. “...

That’s what intrigues me — the old baseball paraphernalia.”

Her collection became heavy on the names mentioned earlier and others such as Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Carlton Fisk. A store owner in Winston-Salem always knew which cards to hold for her.

She has five Michael Jordan baseball cards from that 1994 season when the basketball star left the National Basketball Association and tried to make it in professional baseball. He lasted one season in Double A, but Boger thinks it’s neat to have his cards.

Most of the photographs on her living room wall she purchased during a stop at the Ted Williams Museum in Florida. She has been to three major league ballparks in her life — games in Baltimore, St. Petersburg, Fla., and Miami.

Diabetics with High Blood Pressure

An investigational medication is being studied by local doctors as a potential treatment for Type 2 Diabetes.

Study participants must be between the ages of 18 to 89, who have inadequate glycemic control and inadequate controlled high blood pressure.

Eligible participants will receive study medication or placebo, laboratory testing and physical exams at no cost.

Financial compensation may be provided for time and travel.

Cost savings

Like many of the school system’s other projects, such as the 21st century model classroom and iPod touch program, the iPad initiative is being launched as a pilot program.

“We are starting small with plans to grow,” Foil said.

Foil said at this time it’s uncertain if all principals will receive the devices.

“That will be determined by the successes as this process moves forward,” she said.

Kraft said right now he feels the iPads provide a good way to role model not only for students, but for staff.

“The technology is great, it brings us into the 21st century,” he said.

Kraft said using the seven iPads, which cost about $3,500, is going to cut down the amount of paperwork he currently does.

Foil said that time savings will also equal a cost savings as the district works to reduce paper consumption.

Davis said he’ll be using the calendar component instead of the traditional planner and the notepad application instead of a legal pad.

“As far as the amount saved from becoming paperless, that is an unknown number at this point, but we do know that we will realize a savings,” Foil said.

These aren’t good days for the trial lawyers.

The new Republican majorities in the General Assembly are taking whacks at a number of places where their bread is buttered.

GOP lawmakers have taken up legislation designed to curb medical malpractice lawsuits, to set higher standards for suits SCOTT emerMOONEYHAM against gency room doctors, to keep North Carolinians from joining in on some product liability class-action lawsuits and to place curbs on workers compensation payments.

Some of the proposals aren’t new. Republicans made a similar but unsuccessful push about a decade ago to limit non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases.

Six years ago, Senate Democrats considered limiting workers compensation payments to 500 weeks, but eventually dropped the effort.

Those earlier results are why claims that the voices of trial lawyers aren’t being heard lead to a bit of laughter around the Legislative Building. “Ha. They used to control the process,” one lawyer/lobbyist (not of the litigator variety) recently told me.

Not that they don’t still enjoy some influence, even among Republicans.

Rep. Grey Mills, an Iredell County Republican, is a trial lawyer. So is Rep. Bill Faison, an Orange County Democrat.

Other lawyers in the legislature — Democrats and Republicans — have varied enough practices to appreciate the arguments by trial lawyers about justice and the sanctity of the jury system.

Those arguments essentially run like this: No arbitrary limits will substitute for the wisdom of juries considering the individual circumstances of individual cases; a limit of $250,000 or $500,000 isn’t sufficient to make up for death, or a life spent in a wheelchair or with permanent brain damage.

Proponents of the bills counter that needless litigation is driving up costs — of health care, of business, of life. An arbitrary damage cap or arbitrary benefits limit may not be completely fair, but it is for the greater good.

An argument that the legislative proponents don’t make too often — but one that leads to some support among the larger public — also has to do with justice. Some segment of the public understands that too often these lawsuits target an obstetrician or surgeon who is just doing his or her job, a job where things can easily go wrong despite that person’s best efforts.

Still, it’s a pretty good leap from trying to address those circumstances to throwing blanket protections around hospital emergency rooms and the makers of consumer products. A manufacturing shortcut that causes a child to be injured doesn’t need a legislative shield.

Legislative Republicans might also want to consider that the whipped dogs of today still have their teeth.

Piling on the tort law changes is only galvanizing the trial lawyers.

Sure, they’ve always been in the political corner of the Democrats. Come 2012, their electoral efforts may be less about trying to help Democrats and more about trying to punish Republicans.

Salisbury Post “The truth shall make you free”

My Turn: Reginald W. Brown

An Aesop’s Fable about Salisbury and broadband A

My broken family tree This is an excerpt from “And so it begins,” a Salisbury Post blog by Michelle Condra-Peck.

Read more blogs at www.salisburypost.com miss my grandparents. I think about them most at this time of year. I miss them all the time, but this time of year always highlights the sadness of not having them around.

The older I get, the more I miss them. I miss the smell of fresh turned earth from my Papa’s plow getting the garden ready. I miss my Nana’s “soooo cow” call, which could bring a cow running from the bottom of the pasture. I miss her contagious laughter and his twinkling bright blue eyes. I miss all the people that came around just to visit with them. I miss the jokes they would tell and the devilment they would get into. I just plain miss them and feel like our family is fractured without them. It still functions, but it’s just not complete.

One of the biggest regrets of my life is that I wasn’t mature MICHELLE enough and didn’t appreciate CONDRA-PECK the fleeting quality of time enough to really listen to all their stories. By the time my grandmother passed away in 2003, I was able to appreciate the stories she told and loved hearing about her life.

Sadly, in 1994 when my Papa passed away, I was still too immature and wrapped up in my newly found freedom to appreciate the time we had left.

If you’re a reader of my blog, then you know that my Papa, Howard Hildebrand, remains my favorite person in the world. I admire him for who he was and how he treated us. I admire him more for being the person he was, given where he came from. My Papa was born into a poor family in western North Carolina. He was one of nine children. His father left his mother for a woman with eight children of her own. That’s 17 children for those of you keeping score at home.

Because his mother couldn’t support the children, they had to go live with my great-grandfather and his new wife. His new wife did not like her newly acquired stepchildren and made their lives difficult. My Papa had one toy, a small faded blue metal car. My mother still has that car.

He always wanted a bicycle but could never afford one. For that reason, my sisters and I always had bicycles. Papa believed that every child should have a bicycle.

Once per year, Papa and his brothers would get new overalls to wear to school. Papa, not one to waste anything, put his new overalls away and continued to wear his older ones because there was still some wear left in them. His stepbrothers immediately gave up their old overalls for the new ones. A few months later, thread-bare and stained, my Papa gave up his old overalls for the new ones he had carefully put away. When his stepmother saw that he was wearing new overalls and her children were wearing what was now faded and had holes in the knees ... she cut up my Papa’s new pair to patch her kids’ overalls. My Papa was 7 years old when that happened. When

I

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

BloggersCorner he was 9 years old, he came to live on the farm with my grandmother’s family. His father basically gave him away as farm labor. He never went to school past the fifth grade but was one of the smartest people I’ve even known. My greatgrandmother, Florence, and her husband, Charlie Davis, paid for my grandfather to live with them for several years. They raised him. Unfortunately, his father didn’t believe he needed any education and wouldn’t sign for him to go to school. My grandmother and grandfather taught him at home, and my grandmother would go to school and come back and tell him what she had learned.

My grandfather and grandmother grew up together and eventually got married. My grandmother never had another date. She never kissed another man. I remember a summer when Papa went to Maryland for two weeks. We kids ran out the front door to greet him when he pulled in. Before we could reach him, my grandmother beat us down the sidewalk and jumped into his arms.

That was the only time I ever saw my grandparents kiss, and it made quite an impression.

When I was just a baby, my grandfather got poisoned. He raised registered hounds. At that time, to remove fleas and ticks from the dogs you dipped them in a solution. While he was dipping his dogs, one of them scratched Papa and he got the poison in his blood stream. He was completely paralyzed. One of his friends told me a story about my Papa in the hospital. They went in to see him and were really upset about him being paralyzed.

His friends had visited for a few minutes when the nurse came in and told Papa it was almost time for his bath. Papa, without breaking stride said, “You hear that, boys? You live your life right and work hard and you could wind up in here getting this kind of treatment too.” Once he broke the ice and they all had a good laugh, his visitors were more at ease. He recovered and did walk again.

Papa was a heavy drinker at one time. He took his last drink in 1964. This wasn’t talked about, but I learned about it while preparing a scrapbook one year. One summer before my Papa gave up drinking, my grandparents bought a new tractor. Papa was in the upper pasture mowing when a friend of his stopped by with a jar of moonshine. Papa knew if he cut the tractor off, Nana would be coming to investigate. He left the tractor running and he and his friend went to sit under a shade tree and get snockered. The tractor overheated and blew up. I'm sure he got an ear full for that one. If you knew my Nana then you know she could really lay it on when she wanted to. She loved him though. He loved her too. In fact, when my Papa died, the last word he ever said was my grandmother’s name.

When they died it broke a limb off my family tree that has never really healed. Yeah, I miss those two. I miss them a lot. I miss them more every day.

Never miss an opportunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it.

dog jumped into a manger for its afternoon nap. When oxen returned from work to eat the straw in the manger, the dog awoke and became mad. It growled, snapped, barked and tried to bite the oxen.

“What a selfish Dog!” said one of them. “It cannot eat the straw, and refuses to allow those who can.” The oxen retreated and ate grass in a nearby field.

Salisbury and its elected City Council members in the service of their fellow citizens are the oxen. The mad dog is the absentee broadband incumbent in the service of themselves and their stockholders. The ideal relationship between the incumbents and the city would be satisfied citizens and happy stockholders. Unfortunately, this is not reality. Incumbent stubbornness convinced the council that Salisbury would be better served when it can make broadband decisions as applications and technology change, rather than waiting for city needs to match stockholder interests.

The incumbents refused appeals to establish a public-private partnership. The appeals were motivated by numerous complaints forwarded to City Hall about nonexistent broadband service in parts of the city, slow and sporadic broadband speeds, and poor customer service. I would be an incumbent broadband customer today if not put on hold twice in August 2006 and had no choice other than a slow DSL service. If a potential customer were put on hold, what would be the quality of service? Would I have received a better response if the incumbent were not a virtual cable monopoly?

Fortunately, the Salisbury City Council began researchReginald ing and investigating highW. Brown speed broadband fiber as a lives in public utility in 2005. The Salisbury.

Greenlight Fiber To The Home (FTTH) network in Wilson, with its current 5,300 subscribers and municipal wifi, impressed the council.

Its memberrs were also impressed with the FTTH public utilities in Bristol, Tenn.; Lafayette, L.; and Monmouth, Ore. Today, Monmouth has more than 7,300 FTTH subscribers.

In December 2010, Salisbury municipal FTTH known as Fibrant began enrolling subscribers following four months of beta testing, five years of study, City Council meetings and public hearings. The third public hearing was held on Oct. 21, 2008, addressed the financing of FTTH and other projects through a $36,500,000 investment loan. Six citizens favored taking the loan, with one standing in opposition. The City Council voted in favor of the loan by a 5-0 vote.

The dog was not satisfied with the oxen’s retreat. It sued them and tried to pass state legislation that would hobble their efforts to eat in peace. The dog is lobbying for a bill titled “An Act to Protect Jobs and Investment

by Regulating Local Government Competition with Private Business,” known as HB129/S87. Its supporters refer to the bill as the level playing field. It is designed to limit the ability of underserved North Carolina communities to make their own broadband decisions. Many of the bill’s provisions apply tough constraints on municipalities that are not applied to incumbent broadband providers.

There is a question as to how HB129/S87 will protect jobs and investments when there is nothing in the bill to explain the impact of community networks on employment. Incumbents claim, “The communications industry is an industry of economic growth and job creation.’ Unfortunately, the claim is not a reflection of reality. The recent history of the massive telecommunications incumbents is one of layoffs, consolidation and downsizing. It’s the small community-owned networks that create local employment while larger firms tend to cut or send jobs offshore. It’s the small municipal networks that hire local managers, sales staff, customer support representatives, technicians, clerks, and infrastructure construction and maintenance crews. The wages and fees collected by municipalities support local economies. One may get the impression that the effects of this bill will be to decrease the number of jobs in North Carolina.

If the dog were in competitive markets and listened to consumers, community fiber efforts would not exist. This says plenty about the lack of competition — as does the fact that the incumbents spend more on lawsuits and lobbying than broadband upgrades in underserved communities.

First responder finds fulfillment in helping NC superintendent drops out

FROM 1a Rep. G.K. Butterfield and local officials the day after the storms in her district in Bertie County, where at least 12 people died. She recalled meeting with displaced residents, visiting an area where all the trailers had been destroyed — except for two where people had sought refuge — and seeing a refrigerator in a tree bough.

“The devastation is just unbelievable and indescribable,” said Mobley, who lives in adjacent Hertford County, which also suffered storm damage. However, she said the community was pulling together in the aftermath.

Mobley, now in her third term, used her leverage last week to direct state prisoners to clean up debris in Hertford County. Stone, sworn in to office in January, got help from mentor Rep. Jamie Boles, RMoore, who stayed in close communication with the Perdue administration. A forestry team soon arrived from Boles’ district to cut away trees on the roadways in Lee County, Stone said.

“Our community is indebted, and I hope we never have to repay you,” Stone told Boles publicly on the House floor.

The full Legislature quickly pitched in by passing two storm-related bills, and both Democrats and Republicans say they’re ready to spend the $150 million in the state’s Rainy Day Fund if needed to provide the state’s required 25 percent match for federal cleanup and recovery funds.

More state funds are likely to be needed in the months ahead, said Nesbitt, basing his projection on experiences after the 2004 floods. No one knows yet how much money would be required.

Small business won’t be made completely whole with low-interest loans, and rural residents displaced from their homes will need long-term housing that is difficult to provide, Nesbitt said. Loans to cover uninsured property losses also are available.

“I don’t see that a loan is going to be as beneficial to them because how are they going to pay it back,” Mobley said.

Stone said he wants to make sure people don’t fall through the cracks two and three months from now.

Perdue said she’d listen to ideas to improve North Carolina’s tornado response. Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin said the state should consider developing an early warning system like those in the Midwest that could alert residents to severe weather through sirens, or using telephone messages.

“It’s only normal that we’re trying to figure out what we can do better,” Perdue said.

of race for job in Georgia DECATUR, Ga. (AP) — The leading candidate for the top job with the DeKalb County school district has withdrawn from consideration.

School board chairman Tom Bowen told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Lillie Cox informed school officials Saturday that she was no longer interested in the job. Cox was negotiating with the board to become the next superintendent of the 97,000student school district.

Bowen said Cox’s decision was in part due to media coverage of her contract negotiations. The newspaper reported that Cox was seeking a beefed up contract with a $275,000 salary, 25 days of vacation and a 15-month severance package.

“Having the premature negotiations exposed influenced her decision,” said

Bowen.

Cox is superintendent of the 4,440-student Hickory Public Schools in North Carolina. Cox did not immediately return a call for comment from the Associated Press on Sunday.

She was named one of three candidates for the job last month. The other candidates included Gloria Davis, superintendent of Decatur (Ill.) Public Schools, who withdrew, and Arthur R. Culver, superintendent of Champaign (Ill.) Community Unit School District.

Interim Superintendent Ramona Tyson may become a candidate for the permanent job now that Cox has withdrawn, Bowen said.

DeKalb County in metro Atlanta is one of the state’s largest school districts. The district is trying to replace former Superintendent Craw-

when the victim is someone you know.

Little experienced that in July 2003 when he responded to what seemed like a routine call for a house fire.

Along the way, Little came upon an accident on Swann Road and discovered two of his fellow firefighters, Randy Jones and Pete Morrison, were involved. While other responders tended to Morrison, who had been ejected from the vehicle, Little worked on his close friend and roommate, Jones.

“I helped care for Randy up until the time he was loaded into the AirCare helicopter,” he said. Jones died on his way to the hospital.

“This was a life-changing experience for me,” Little said. “I think about Randy and that call every day, but I am glad that I could be there with him during the last minutes of his life. Randy was taken before his time, but I am thankful I was there to see everything was done for him that could have been done.”

Little, a graduate of North Iredell High School, received his associate degree in emergency medical science from Catawba Valley Community College and attended the EMS Management Institute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

STATESVILLE (AP) — What started out as an exciting adventure for Jason Little turned into a gratifying career.

Little, 28, is the assistant training officer for Iredell EMS and a volunteer firefighter for Cool Springs Fire Department.

He said he began his career in emergency services as a junior firefighter at Ebenezer Volunteer Fire Department in 1998.

“I first became involved in the fire department because it seemed exciting,” he said.

“I quickly realized how gratifying it was to help others through tough times.”

Little spent seven years at Ebenezer before moving into the Cool Springs district and joining that department. He is currently a captain at Cool Springs.

But Little’s work in emergency services extends beyond volunteering as a firefighter and his job with EMS. He has served on and off as a member of the Iredell County Rescue Squad since 2000 and is currently employed by the squad on a part-time basis as a rescue technician.

Little also works as a pub-

lic safety instructor at Mitchell Community College, teaching in the EMS continuing education and curriculum classes.

He is also a certified human remains detection canine handler and was certified through Highland Canine in Harmony. Little owns and handles a Belgian Malinois and works as an independent contractor. He assists law enforcement and search and rescue efforts when needed.

Even after more than 12 years in emergency services, Little said, he feels good when he knows his actions made a difference. “Sometimes there are major calls, like a heart attack or trauma, but often this comes on the simple calls, like just helping an elderly or disabled person with things around their residences,” he said.

Being the calm, compassionate person people see at the worst moments of their lives is one of the most satisfying parts of being in emergency services, Little said. “I enjoy bringing just a little bit of comfort to those during their time of need. The average person does not handle emergencies very well and anything we can do to help is rewarding,” he said.

In emergency services, that calmness can be tested

Peeler Classic title game set McMichael stuns Wildcats

BY DAVID SHAW dshaw@salisburypost.com

Late Saturday SALISBURY — A show of hands, please, McMichael 9 from anyone L. Norman 5 who believed McMichael would be playing in tonight’s Cliff Peeler Classic championship game.

Few, if any, of the Fighting Phoenix anticipated a showdown with red-hot Davie County. And certainly no one in the Lake Norman dugout late Saturday night saw this coming.

“I think that was our problem,” LN coach Robert Little said after the Wildcats were stunned

9-5 in the semifinals. “We all saw ourselves playing Monday night.”

Instead, Lake Norman (17-5) gets a third-place game earlier in the day against North Rowan.

McMichael (13-7), meanwhile, has emerged as the tournament’s Cinderella team — one that didn’t turn into a pumpkin once the game extended past midnight.

“We can play with anybody,” catcher Ryan Puckett said. “All we have to do is show up and play our game.”

McMichael used two big innings to erase an early 2-0 deficit and fell the Wildcats. It scored five times in the top of the fourth

Late Saturday SPENCER — Listening from the third-base coachDavie 12 ing box, Davie N. Rowan 0 County coach Mike Herndon enjoyed the reaction of North Rowan fans as his hard-hitting squad smoked liner after liner.

The delayed Cliff Peeler Baseball Classic semifinal began at 11 p.m. in Spencer, probably past Herndon’s bedtime, but his guys were swinging like it was high noon.

“We’ve been barreling up quite a few balls lately,” he said cheerfully. “It was good to hear all those oohs and aahs from the fans, like

we were hitting balls really hard.”

4A Davie (18-2) breezed 12-0 in five innings over the 1A Cavaliers.

Davie, which was designated as the home team, cracked nine hits, played errorless ball and limited North (15-5) to one scratch single.

“This is a mature team, and I really liked the mental focus we had,” Herndon said. “I mean, how many high school games start at 11? But we didn’t waste many at-bats and we played very good defense.”

Davie pitcher Corey Randall had a perfect game for three innings and still had a no-hitter through four when he was lifted.

Panthers getting advice

SAN FRANCISCO — All those 9 times Braves 6 Brian Giants Wilson and his bushy, black beard strutted around AT&T Park after wins last postseason was enough for the Atlanta Braves.

They made sure there was no encore Sunday.

Nate McLouth hit a tworun single off Wilson with two outs in the 10th inning, and the Braves beat the San Francisco Giants 9-6 for a three-game sweep in a rematch of last season’s NL division series.

“The environment in here is really second to none. So to walk out of here with a sweep, it’s something not a lot of teams do,” McLouth said. “And we did it.”

The Braves beat ace Tim Lincecum, postseason nemesis Madison Bumgarner and Wilson over the three games to highlight a weekend at San Francisco’s waterfront ballpark they won’t soon forget.

The finale had contributions from all over: Jason Heyward hit a three-run homer and a double, then singled in the 10th. Dan Uggla homered and Chipper Jones had a two-run double, single and walked twice on his 39th birthday.

The result was Atlanta’s first sweep of any kind in San Francisco since 1998.

“You win three games off the world champs,” Jones said, “and confidence is at a different level.”

Heyward and Jones started the 10th inning with singles against Wilson (0-1) before Uggla walked to load the bases. Wilson got two quick outs and nearly escaped the jam before McLouth’s grounder up the middle provided the go-ahead runs. Brian McCann added an RBI single off Dan Runzler.

Eric O’Flaherty (1-1) pitched two innings for the win and Jonny Venters earned his first save of the season.

Buster Posey had a tworun homer and Aaron Rowand hit a two-run double to help the Giants erase a three-run deficit and take a 6-5 lead in the seventh.

CHARLOTTE — The growing consensus among NFL draft analysts is the Carolina Panthers will take Cam Newton with the No. 1 overall pick.

Those pundits differ on whether that’s a smart decision.

As the Panthers remain mum on what they’ll do next week, there’s no shortage of advice. The most polarizing opinions involve the quarterback who dazzled in leading Auburn to the national title last season but carries plenty of off-field baggage and concerns.

“Cam Newton could be great. He could be a disappointment,” ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. said Wednesday. “High risk, high reward. So it looks like they’re going to go Newton.”

Kiper recently moved Newton to the top of his mock draft, even as he questions Newton’s work ethic and continues to tout Carolina QB Jimmy Clausen. Peter King of Sports Illustrated has Newton going to Carolina, too. ESPN analyst Jon Gruden thinks the same and is bullish on Newton.

Others, such as Pro Football Weekly draft analyst Nolan Nawrocki, remain convinced the Panthers won’t make the gamble.

“In my opinion, there isn’t a true franchise quarterback and I think the Carolina Panthers see it the same way,” said Nawrocki, who has written a scathing review of Newton.

There are safer alternatives. Alabama’s Marcell Dareus would help fill Carolina’s giant hole at defensive tackle. LSU’s Patrick Peterson dazzled in workouts and would be the first cornerback to go No. 1. Receiver A.J. Green of Georgia could finally provide Carolina with a complement and potential replacement for Steve Smith.

Newton is the wild card.

Combine the 6-foot-5 frame with his strong arm, speed and running ability, he has the potential to give the Panthers their first franchise quarterback in their 17-year history. It’s a compelling thought for a club that

Peeler concludes today From staff reports

It took a heroic effort by coaches and volunteers to get the drowned Salisbury and North Rowan fields ready for play late Saturday, but the annual Cliff Peeler Baseball Classic is now back on schedule after some literal midnight madness.

Rain wiped out Friday’s first day, but eight teams got in two games apiece on Saturday — and early Sunday morning.

Leather-lunged Davie fan and former Davie pitcher Lonnie Barnes yelled “Happy Easter!” to everyone at the North field as the last game was being concluded, and anyone with a watch realized he was correct.

It really was Sunday before that game ended. Fans almost had an opportunity to go from baseball straight to the sunrise service of their choice.

At any rate, things are back to normal today, with four games, all at Salisbury High’s Robertson Stadium.  Salisbury (9-8), which lost a heartbreaker to McMichael in the first round, takes on Central Cabarrus (9-12),which watched a nice lead slip away against North Rowan, today at 11 a.m. for seventh place.

The Hornets can use a win to get back on track before heading back to the CCC. They’ve lost four in a row.  3A West Iredell battles 2A West Stokes for fifth place at 1:30 p.m. Both have winning records.

Sean Grant was the winning pitcher as West Iredell beat Central Cabarrus 9-5 in a consolation-bracket game on Saturday night.

Grant and Sean Marshall had two hits each, and Jordan Gamble homered.  North Rowan was shellacked by Davie late Saturday, but the Cavaliers (15-5) had a nice comeback win against Central Cabarrus in the opening round.

1A North has two big YVC games this week, so it’s uncertain who will take the mound for the Cavaliers as they battle 4A Lake Norman, an upset loser to McMichael, in a game for third place.

North still hasn’t won an Easter tourney since 1995 — that was before the event was known as the Peeler Classic.

However, North Rowan can still share the YVC championship if it win its two league games this week. South Stanly is finished with league games at 14-2, while North Moore is 13-2, and the Cavaliers are 12-2.

North Rowan’s last regular-season game is at North Moore. Wins in both games this week would give the Cavaliers the top seed for the league tournament.

 4A Davie plays 2A McMichael for the Peeler championship at 7 p.m.

Davie (18-2) has looked unbelievable in shelling West Iredell 12-1 and North Rowan 12-0.

Catawba football and baseball signee Joe Watson is a potential draft pick and launched a Peeler-record three homers against West Iredell.

Coach Mike Herndon’s War Eagles also have two Liberty signees (shortstop Carson Herndon and catcher Jacob Barber), while center fielder Alex Newman is headed to Gardner-Webb.

Herndon’s team last won the Peeler event in 2007 and also won it in 2001. Davie lost in the final to Carson in 2010.  West Rowan, East Rowan, South Rowan and Carson are preparing to tangle with four Cabarrus teams, including A.L. Brown and Northwest Cabarrus, in the F&M Bank Classic at Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Schedule is in Scoreboard.

 Prep softball East Rowan’s Chelsea White pitched a three-hitter, and the Mustangs beat North Davidson 4-0 on Saturday in a tournament played at Alexander Central.

East, ranked second in 3A, finally broke through against the Black Knights, who had won 49 games in a row and are ranked No. 2 in 4A. Both teams are 16-1.

 College baseball Appalachian State’s Trey Holmes (East Rowan) hit his fifth homer and stole his ninth base, and Preston Troutman (East) had two hits and scored twice in a 7-0 win against Davidson on Saturday.

 Softball team needed Any church team interested in playing in the Enon Church semi-fast pitch softball league this spring should contact James Taylor at 704437-1090.

 Local golf The McCanless Couples played nine holes on Sunday with a two-man Captain’s Choice format.

Juan Garcia and his son (also Juan Garcia) took first place with a 31.

Ty and Beverly Cobb shot 33 for second place.

Brett and Robin Leslie shot 34 and won a scorecard playoff with Sharon Miller and Allen Drew for third.

Monica Green won longest putt, while Drew won closest to the pin.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Chris Paul had 27 points, 15 assists and 13 rebounds, and the Hornets 93 New Orleans HorLakers 88 nets held on for a 93-88 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers late on Sunday night to even their first-round playoff series at 2-2.

Wearing a black wrap on his left hand and a small bandage over his right eye, Paul scored 14 of New Or-

leans’ 24 points in the fourth quarter.

The All-Star guard then capped his brilliant performance by running down the clock and setting up Jarrett Jack’s short jumper, which made it 90-86 with 9.3 seconds left.

Kobe Bryant had 17 points for the Lakers, but did not score in the first half and finished 5 of 18 shooting, his last miss coming on a 3-point attempt in the final seconds. Trevor Ariza scored 19 for New Orleans.

Nuggets on the brink of early exit DENVER (AP) — Denver Nuggets coach George Karl said a few weeks ago he wanted to match up with the Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

On the brink of being swept by Oklahoma City in the first round, his feelings are understandable.

Denver’s 97-94 loss on Saturday night put the Nuggets a game from losing in the first round for the seventh time in eight years. Injuries, player meltdowns and Karl’s battle with throat and neck cancer have been factors in previous early exits.

This time, Denver might just be dealing with a bad matchup.

“There’s a big part of me that’s disappointed because of our failures,” Karl said Sunday. “But I also know that sometimes some of the best teams lose in the first round because of matchups and circumstances.

Oklahoma City does a good job against some of our strengths. We like the rim, and they have four defenders that like to protect the rim, and do it pretty well.”

The Thunder’s defense has frustrated the Nuggets late in games, and Denver has struggled to find a go-to player in crunch time.

On Saturday, J.R. Smith nearly brought his team back from 10 points down in the final 50 seconds when he hit two 3-pointers, but he air-balled a 29-footer in the final seconds that could have sent the game into overtime.

Now the Nuggets are trying to avoid being swept for the second time in four seasons.

“When you’re on the verge of getting swept it’s always embarrassing,”

Smith said. “You never want to get swept let alone lose six out of eight to this team in the season. It’s not a good feeling.”

The Thunder have beaten the Nuggets five times in the past 18 days. Three of those games have been close, including Games 1 and 3 of this series. Denver has hurt itself with poor execution down the stretch and missed free throws.

The Nuggets were 30 for 45 from the free throw line on Saturday and they’re shooting 68.7 percent from there in the series.

The Nuggets feel their little mistakes have made this series appear less competitive.

“They’re good. They’re a good basketball team, but do you reverse it and say we’re the best team if we make five more free throws and we win the game?” Arron Afflalo said.

“Now we’re up 3-0.”

The Thunder are trying to maintain a balance while trying to win their first series since moving to Oklahoma City from Seattle three years ago. They have the youngest roster in the league and only five Oklahoma City players have advanced past the first round — Kendrick Perkins, Nate Robinson, Nazr Mohammed, Nick Collison and Thabo Sefolosha.

They don’t feel their inexperience will be an issue Monday.

“The closeout game is all mental,” said Perkins. “It’s going to have to be a mental game for us, mental toughness. It’s not going to be easy, we’re going to have to stick together and play possession by possession and make sure we make the extra effort.”

DAVIE FROM 1B

suBMitted phOtO

Wally Gaither (middle) was one of the area’s top bowlers in the early 1960s and qualified for regioal and national events.

GAITHER FROM 1B 1940s. He graduated in 1949.

“That was the Rowan County League,” he says, rattling off the names of Granite’s conference foes Mount Ulla, Cleveland, East Spencer, Woodleaf, Rockwell, China Grove and Landis in a matter of seconds. “Landis was the big rival.”

Not Rockwell?

“Landis,” he repeated. “Because when I played, Landis had Bill Sells and all those Cross boys. Seems like we played them one time when one Cross was catching, one Cross was pitching, and their daddy minor league slugging legend Leonard “Holy” Cross) was doing the umpiring. They were pretty hard to beat.”

Gaither started two summers for the Rockwell Legion team and also made the Salisbury team twice.

The toughest baseball pitcher he encountered was scary Gerald Blackburn, who flung bullets for Kannapolis American Legion teams that won state titles in 1946 and 1947.

“The only pitcher I never did get a hit off of,” Gaither admitted.

Gaither’s forte in baseball and softball was playing the infield.

“I was blessed with a good pair of hands,” he said. “I loved playing second base, loved to turn that double play more than anything. Even when I was 52 years old, playing slow-pitch softball, I could still turn it.”

A lot of times, Gaither played shortstop, because he was the best infielder on his team, but whenever he was paired with a natural shortstop beautiful things happened.

“I had a chance to play second with Larry Taylor at shortstop at Rockwell,” Gaither said. “He was a great one and went a long way in baseball.”

Taylor played five seasons of Double A ball in the Cincinnati Reds organization (1954-58).

The Post’s Horace Billings wrote a story about Gaither that compared his fielding wizardry to that of Brooklyn shortstop Pee Wee Reese and New York Yankees shortstop Phil Rizzuto.

“I told Horace that he really knew how to butter a fellow up,” said Gaither, chuckling at the memory.

Gaither played shortstop and often led off for powerful Cartex Mill fastpitch softball teams, coached by Junior Barnes. Gaither had four hits and scored four runs the night Cartex, behind ironman pitcher R.T. Winecoff, won the 1960 city-league title by beating Cannon Mills in a doubleheader.

Cannon, which had pitcher Marvin Ladd, was Cartex’s biggest rival,

PANTHERS FROM 1B won two games and scored 16 touchdowns in 2010.

“He’s got everything you want,” said Mike Mayock of NFL Network. “He’s smart enough, he’s a great athlete. It all comes down to me, how hard is this kid willing to work?”

Mayock’s not alone. Questions about Newton’s commitment are everywhere, as well as how he’ll adjust from Auburn’s simple, no-huddle, spread offense to a complex pro style.

Then there’s the November 2008 arrest after he bought a stolen computer and the NCAA investigation into allegations his father solicited money during his recruitment.

“You can get away with ability in college. You can’t get away

But he didn’t stay in school long.

“I was on the honor roll, but I wasn’t really studying for anything that I wanted to do,” he said. “I really didn’t want to go in the Army, so a bunch of us went and enlisted in the Navy. I did three tours in Korea. I chased a Russian sub, picked up downed pilots, did some shelling. I enjoyed the Navy experience very much.”

Gaither was a terrific bowler in the 1960s. In 1962, he won the association championship in a major tournament held in Charlotte and qualified for national events.

“I averaged 187 and got to go to Charlotte for the association tournament,” Gaither said. “All the towns had bowling leagues, but Charlotte was the one sanctioned by the association, so all the best bowlers from the smaller towns had to go there.

with just ability in the NFL,” Kiper said. “It’s a completely different ballgame. Things came very easy to Cam Newton. I hope he doesn’t think it’ll come that easy in the NFL.” But while Gruden recently put Newton on the spot about his simple play calls in college during a recent TV segment, he believes he’ll be able to adjust to a thick NFL playbook.

“The thing that impressed me was not only his physical attributes and his size, but his charisma,” Gruden said. “I think his eagerness to learn and prove that he can adapt to a pro style on offense. He showed very good retention to me in the meetings and the material that we covered.”

New Panthers coach Ron Rivera has acknowledged strong interest in Newton as well as Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert. That comes after Car-

olina spent its second round pick a year ago on Clausen, who went 1-9 as a starter without a touchdown pass to a wide receiver.

“I don’t think Jimmy was a mistake, but if you’re going to take Cam Newton, obviously the new coach isn’t a believer,” Kiper said. “And the GM drafted him. When you’re in a situation like that it’s bad for the team, it’s bad for the quarterback.”

Kiper took aim at GM Marty Hurney for his decision to trade away a 2010 first-round pick to take defensive end Everette Brown in the second round in 2009 and last year’s deal that sent a 2011 second-round pick to New England so Carolina could take former Appalachian State quarterback Armanti Edwards in the third round.

“Mistakes have been made that hurt this organization,” Kiper said.

early,” Randall said. “But once we finally got started, it felt like any other baseball game.”

Tyler Lee pitched the fifth for Davie. The first batter he faced was Matt Laurens, who slapped a routine grounder toward the second baseman.

But the infield was soggy, and Laurens, a lefty hitter who can run, busted it down the line. Laurens made it a close play and was deemed safe by the umpire, although Davie fans vocally disagreed with the verdict. Herndon, even with a 12-run lead, felt strongly enough to protest vigorously, until he was firmly instructed to “Cool it.”

Laurens was erased moments later on a double-play grounder, putting the Davie folks in a merrier mood.

“They hit it, their pitcher threw good strikes, and they made defensive plays even with the field being wet,” North senior Hunter Feezor said. “They’re very good.”

North, which had played YVC games on Tuesday and Thursday was short on arms, and sophomore jayvee Travis Holshouser was tossed into a tough situation. Give him credit for lasting three innings without calling 911 or running for the safety of the dugout.

As a freshman, Holshouser, was called upon to pitch against eventual champion Carson in the 2010 Peeler event, so he’s probably not a huge fan of Easter baseball.

“It’s not like North Rowan’s not a good team,” Herndon said. “The big advantage we have is depth. We put our No. 3 guy out there, and Randall’s still throwing it 86, 87, 88.”

Normally fiery North coach Aaron Rimer took this loss calmly. When you’re overmatched, you’re overmatched.

“It was David against Goliath, and normally Goliath wins,” he said with a shrug.

Davie leadoff man Alex Newman greeted Holshouser with a sharp single in the first,

MCMICHAEL FROM 1B against losing pitcher Joey McAlpin, a southpaw who magnificently retired nine of the first 10 batters he faced.

“Then he got tired,” Little reported. “He lost sight of the plate and kept falling behind.”

Puckett was the first McMichael batter to get a hit when he smashed a 3-2 pitch over the fence in the left-center field.

Then with two outs and the bases loaded, first-round hero Justin Cook whipped a threerun double right down the right-field line.

The beneficiary was right-hander Michael Doss, a senior who earned his first victory in four decisions.

In six innings, he allowed only two earned runs and struck out nine — including five straight in the fourth and fifth innings.

“I threw 32 pitches the first inning,” Doss said.

“But as I started throwing more strikes, I noticed they weren’t hitting me hard. I had to come over the top more with my curveball, instead of side-to-side.”

Puckett, who homered earlier against Salisbury, agreed.

“Usually, I’m blocking 90 percent of his curves,” he said.

“Tonight, he was getting it over, getting ahead.”

McAlpin belted a two-run homer in the bottom of the

That could make the decision with the top pick even more important as they play in a division where every other team has a solid QB in place.

“In this NFC South, I believe you have Josh Freeman, you have Matt Ryan, you have Drew Brees. They have a young guy there now in Jimmy Clausen,” Gruden said. “But I think with DeAngelo Williams, assuming he’s re-signed, Jonathan Stewart, Jordan Gross at left tackle, assuming (Jeff) Otah comes back at right tackle, you’re going to have the ability to put together a striking running game with Cam Newton being a part of that.

“Your good friend Steve Smith out there can still hurt people and off the play action pass and things of that nature while Cam develops. I think there are things this guy can do.”

“I hadn’t hit one yet this year, and all the guys have been giving me crap about it,” a pleased Bodenhamer said.

“I’ve been looking for it. I finally found it.”

Davie made it 3-0 when Carson Herndon lashed a wicked double and eventually scored on a throwing error.

Newman, who can fly, walked, stole his 17th base and scored on a wild pitch to make it 4-0 in the second.

Flyers win in OT, force Game 7 with Sabres Associated Press

The NHL playoff roundup ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Ville Leino scored 4:43 into overtime and Brian Boucher’s return in another relief appearance help the Philadelphia Flyers force Game 7 in their first-round series against the Buffalo Sabres.

Danny Briere scored twice and Boucher stopped 24 shots over the final two periods and overtime in a 5-4 victory Sunday in the tightly contested Eastern Conference series.

Game 7 is Tuesday night in Philadelphia.

Boucher took over to start the second period after Michael Leighton allowed three goals on the first seven shots he faced. Scott Hartnell had a goal and assist and James van Riemsdyk also scored for the Flyers, who overcame a two-goal deficit while drawing upon Chris Pronger’s presence. The gritty defenseman played sparingly in his first game after missing 21 because of a broken right hand.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — Brandt Snedeker rallied from six shots behind and beat Luke Donald in a playoff in The Heritage to deny the Englishman the No. 1 ranking Sunday.

Donald would’ve risen to the top spot in the world from No. 3 had he won. His countryman, Lee Westwood, moved from No. 2 to No. 1, replacing Martin Kaymer, after winning the Indonesian Masters earlier Sunday.

Donald saved par from difficult spots on the 71st and 72nd holes to force the playoff, then did it again on the second extra hole.

But his luck ran out on Harbour Town Golf Links’ closing lighthouse hole, No. 18, when he got a partially buried lie in a front bunker.

Donald blasted out about 15 feet from the flag and his

chip for par from just off the green hit the back edge of the cup and bounced away, giving Snedeker his second career PGA Tour title and first since the 2007 Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, N.C. Snedeker finished with a 7under 64, tying for lowest round of the tournament, to match Donald at 12 under.

Donald shot his second straight 70. Tommy Gainey was a stroke back after a 68.

“We know we’re not playing Giants baseball right now,” said Wilson, who led the majors with 48 saves last season.

“We’re scuffling a little bit, but we’re still right in the thick of things. (Our record) is not horrible considering the kind of games we have lost. We just need to get on a good role and start remembering how to play good baseball.”

Atlanta came out hot from the start.

Jones hit a two-run double that zipped past diving third baseman Pablo Sandoval in the first inning to give the Braves a 2-0 lead.

Then Giants starter Jonathan Sanchez found his groove and showed no signs of a flu bug that forced him to have intravenous fluids a day earlier.

He struck out five and allowed two hits and three walks in five innings.

Braves starter Brandon Beachy retired the first 11 batters with relative ease until Aubrey Huff hit a towering double off the right-field wall and Posey followed with a home run in the fourth.

NASCAR DES MOINES, Iowa — A group of Iowans have banded together in hopes of bringing a NASCAR Sprint Cup race to the Iowa Speedway in Newton.

The Green Flag Alliance, a coalition that includes Newton mayor Chaz Allen, says it's seeking to boost fan interest and sponsorship support in hopes of landing stock car's premier circuit.

The group says it's the perfect time for the Speedway to host a Sprint Cup race after landing two lower-tier NASCAR Nationwide races for 2011.

The group says that analysis from other markets indicates that a Sprint Cup race can generate as much as $150 million to the local economy.

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Decades of distracting opposing quarterbacks have taken a physical toll on the 150-pound bass drum used to fire up the Faurot Field home crowd at Missouri football games.

Two music service fraternities that care for the Big MO drum are attempting to raise $55,000 to replace the 6-foot icon. The drum, a gift from the St. Louis Quarterback Club, has been a fixture beyond Memorial Stadium's south end zone since 1981.

The Columbia Missourian reports that the new Big MO will measure 9 feet in diameter and 54 inches wide. The bass drum's caretakers spent more than four years trying to find a qualified builder for a drum that stands 11 feet tall when on its rolling cart.

Greinke makes rehab start Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Milwaukee pitcher Zach Greinke pitched 22⁄3 innings, giving up three hits and two runs with a walk and a two strikeouts in a rehab start Sunday at Triple-A Nashville.

The right-hander started the season on the disabled list for his new team because of a broken rib.

“In the first inning my control was a lot better than later on,” said Greinke, who got the first four batters he faced to groundout then struck out two in the second inning. “The off-speed wasn’t great, but I was locating, and my fastball was crisp.”

Halladay blows away 14 Padres Associated Press SAN DIEGO — Roy Halladay tied his career high with 14 strikeouts and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the San Diego Padres 3-1 on Sunday, coming within one out of their third shutout during a fourgame sweep.

Halladay (3-1) took a two-hitter into the ninth before allowing three singles, including Will Venable’s RBI base hit with two outs. Antonio Bastardo came on with runners on first and third and got pinch-hitter Nick Hundley to fly out to left on his first pitch, for his first save.

Shane Victorino hit an inside-the-park home run leading off the seventh inning.

Dodgers 7, Cubs 3 CHICAGO — Andre Ethier extended his hitting streak to 21 games with an RBI single in a five-run first inning and Los Angeles won its fourth in five games.

Jerry Sands (Catawba) was 1-for-4, knocked in a run and threw out a baserunner.

Brewers 4, Astros 1 MILWAUKEE — Randy Wolf allowed four hits over eight sharp innings and the Brewers, under the watchful eye of a wayward hawk, beat Houston.

Rickie Weeks homered in his return after missing one game with a sprained left pinkie finger and Brandon Boggs also connected. Prince Fielder tripled for his NLleading 21st RBI in the third inning while the bird settled in the outfield.

The roof at Miller Park was closed, but that didn’t stop a small hawk from grabbing everyone’s attention. The hawk attacked another bird in center field in the top of the third, then landed in shallow right field to watch the bottom of the half with Astros

Shields (2-1) struck out seven, walked two and lowered his ERA to 2.35. The Rays won for the 10th time in 14 games following a 1-8 start.

Yankees 6, Orioles 3, 11 innings BALTIMORE — Russell Martin singled home the tiebreaking run in the 11th inning after Mariano Rivera gave up the lead in the ninth, and the New York Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles for a two-game sweep.

The thriller of a game had a bit of everything, including a 40minute rain delay in the 11th inning. Baltimore rallied from a

three-run deficit against Joba Chamberlain and Rivera; both teams had the go-ahead run thrown out at the plate in the late innings; and the Yankees ultimately won on the strength of three infield hits and a couple of Baltimore errors in a wild 11th.

Derek Jeter had four hits for Yankees.

Tigers 3, White Sox 0 DETROIT — Max Scherzer allowed four hits in eight outstanding innings, and the Detroit Tigers beat Chicago to finish a three-game sweep of the struggling White Sox.

Bridge hand: The singular way to bid a slam tra trick by ruffing a club on the board. But if spades are 4-1, he must ruff a heart in his hand.

Declarer should draw two rounds of trumps, leaving two honors in the dummy.

Then, when the 4-1 break is revealed, he cashes his two top hearts, takes two diamond winners, discarding his third heart, ruffs dummy’s last heart with his spade ace, draws trumps, and claims.

Note that if South concedes a club at trick two, the defense defeats the contract by shifting to a diamond, which destroys declarer’s communications.

a control-bid (cue-bid) in hearts. This is exactly what Dr. North is hoping to hear.

He uses Blackwood before bidding six spades.

West leads a trump. South has 11 top tricks: four spades, two hearts and five diamonds. If trumps are splitting 3-2, he can gain the ex-

Dear reader: Oddly enough, I just received a letter from a reader who indicated that she used it for that very purpose on an unsightly lesion.

She applied it once daily, peeled it off after her daily shower, and then reapplied a new coat. The lesion was totally gone after several weeks. My guess is that the polish worked as a barrier, keeping the lesion dry and without vital oxygen for nourishment. She believed clear nail polish might have worked as well but did experience excellent results with the nail hardener.

Another option is to use hydrogen peroxide. Simply apply it daily with a cotton swab. Some sources recommend against using it undiluted, so try mixing with an equal amount of water.

Aleister Crowley, an Englishman who founded the religious philosophy of Thelema, said, “Anyone with an independent mind must become one who resists or opposes authority or established conventions.”

I think most pairs would do best to use few bidding conventions. Whatever your system, you will usually reach the same final contract.

But occasionally a useful gadget shows its worth.

In today’s deal, after the bidding starts one club - one diamond - one spade, North should make a slam-try in spades. The best is a fourclub splinter bid. This jumpshift above three of partner’s last-bid suit announces fourcard spade support, the values for at least game, and a singleton or void in clubs.

Then South, because he has weak clubs, is happy to make

Dear Dr. Gott: A few weeks ago, you said putting nail hardener on skin tags helps to dry them and consequently they fall off. Would it be possible to do the same with seborrheic keratosis spots? I have many. Thank you for your consideration. I am an 80-year-old healthy female.

Dear reader: I do have a few recomDR. PETER m e n d a t i o n s that might get GOTT her back on track. Your mother should take her pills at a time when she doesn’t feel she is under stress. She should be relaxed and assisted by a single family member or appropriate person with whom she feels comfortable. Don’t perform the task if everyone is gathered around, coaxing her on.

Furthermore, it helps the swallowing process if the mouth is moist. You might begin the process by setting out her pills and having her sip some water prior to even taking her first dose. Lubricate the tract, so to speak.

Then she can place a pill in her mouth, take another sip, and the pill should glide down.

Placing some types of pills in a small plastic resealable bag and crushing them within the bag using the back of a spoon will break them up.

Then empty the contents into a spoonful of applesauce, yogurt or other appealing food.

Should she take capsules, simply open the medication and pour its contents into a spoonful of food. Another option is to purchase a pill crusher. If the medication is coated or has a delayed release action, the pills should never been crushed, broken or chewed. Check with your pharmacist before crushing any medications.

My next recommendation, and perhaps the easiest, is an over-the-counter product known as Pill Glide, a waterbased lubricating gel. A flavored, metered dose is squirted into the mouth. It is free of sugar, dyes, gluten and casein, has no active ingredients, and is non-allergenic. It is available in several flavors through Walgreens, CVS and Publix, and is also available via the Internet through Amazon. It has been a revolutionary breakthrough for children who had previously been on oral medications only because they couldn’t swallow a pill, as well as for adults with a history of Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, cancer, stroke or those who simply can’t swallow a pill of any size.

As an aside, three of the most commonly flavored liquid prescription medications on the market are amoxicillin, Tamiflu and Azithromycin. Many pharmacies now incorporate this innovative option by crushing pills and adding flavors, making taking any pill more desirable. And you can request your flavor!

Incorporate one or more of my recommendations into your mother’s daily medication routine, and alleviate her

R

Dear Dr. Gott: My mother is 87 years old and has great difficulty swallowing pills.

They get stuck in her throat, and she is so afraid of choking she would prefer not to take them at all, which is not an option because of her many medical conditions.

Can you offer any guidance?

Her entire family is terribly concerned.

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER The stubborn stationary front of the East will finally move Monday as a wave of low pressure from the West moves into northern Texas and Oklahoma. This will drive the western portion of this front northward through the Ohio Valley toward the Great Lakes as a warm front. This will translate into widely scattered rain showers and thunderstorms. Periods of heavy rainfall are expected from the Mid-Mississippi Valley through the Ohio Valley. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has issued a moderate chance of severe weather from Arkansas into southern Missouri due to ample moisture spreading through the region. The SPC has also issued a slight risk of severe weather from the eastern Southern Plains to the Mid-South and Mid-Mississippi, Lower Tennessee, and Lower Ohio Valleys. These storms may produce hail, damaging wind, and a few tornadoes. Residents in these areas should monitor local weather conditions closely through the day and take proper precautions against severe weather. Meanwhile, in the West, a wave of low pressure will move through the Great Basin with scattered rain showers, high elevation snow, and thunderstorms. Another Pacific disturbance will approach the northern California and Pacific Northwest coasts with scattered rain and high elevation snow showers.
