Trash service may get dumped Midwife

convicted Yadkin County woman faces charge of unauthorized practice

BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

Jon c. Lakey/SALISBURY POST

Town of Spencer employees James Hahn picks up trash from the alley behind residences on 3rd Street. A new proposal being discussed on the town board is the effort to make trash pick-up curbside, dropping the backyard collection service.

Budget gap may cut backyard collection in Spencer B Y E MILY F ORD eford@salisburypost.com

SPENCER — An era may come to an end in Spencer as leaders consider dropping backyard garbage service to help close a $235,000 budget gap.

When Jeff Bumgarner became public works director in 2009, he said he was told Spencer was the last town west of Interstate 95 that still sent trash collectors into people’s backyards to empty their garbage cans.

That may have been an exaggeration, Bumgarner said, but it shows how proud Spencer has been to provide backyard garbage pickup to residents.

However, the tradition will go the way of the milkman delivering glass bottles to a front porch if aldermen vote to end the service and save an estimated $40,000 to $45,000 a year by switching to curbside trash collection.

Several other perks of living in Spencer — like free use of ballfields and picnic shelters — already have been cut as leaders struggle to make ends meet for the upcoming fiscal year, the leanest in decades.

Town of Spencer employees James Hahn and Perry Elliot pick up trash from the alley behind residences on 3rd Street.

The town’s tax base will fall 8 percent, from $211 million to $194 million. Debt service on the renovated library will cost $52,880.

Expenses are up, and revenue is down. The town lost $26,000 when the state decided to cancel a security contract between the Spencer Police Department and the N.C. Transportation Museum.

The town would have to increase its 60-cent tax rate to

65.6 cents per $100 valuation to bring in the same amount of property tax revenue. Even then, the town would still face a deficit of $131,761. Aldermen have not set a tax rate.

Like it or not, things in Spencer are about to change.

The town has long been topheavy in staff and resources dedicated to providing smalltown services people don’t find in larger cities, Town Manager Larry Smith said.

“The town has an identity.

We’ve carved out a niche,” Smith said. “Backyard pickup is a perfect example.”

Per capita, the town probably has more employees than most its size, he said. Spencer has 36 fulltime workers and a population of 3,355.

In tough budget times, aldermen must decide how many of Spencer’s unique services the town will retain, and at what cost.

Ever since the town began collecting garbage, employees have ventured into residents’ backyards to empty metal trash cans, sometimes walking the length of a football field round-trip.

Trash collector James Hahn wore a pedometer last week and logged 7.5 miles in one day.

He jokes the job keeps in him slim.

Switching to curbside pickup — where residents roll 95gallon garbage carts to the street once a week — would save time, fuel and manpower.

“It would be a whole lot easier,” Hahn said. “As long as we get to keep our jobs.”

With curbside pickup, the town would go from four days

SALISBURY — A judge found a Yadkin County woman guilty Tuesday of unauthorized practice of midwifery.

District Court Judge Lawrence Hammond sentenced Emily “Amy” Medwin to 24 hours in jail, which was suspended to two years of unsupervised probation. Medwin, 56, was charged in February following the death of a baby in western Rowan County a month earlier.

Detective Sara Benfield testified in court Tuesday she reported an infant death to Rowan Regional Medical Center Jan. 20. Upon investigating the detective discovered the baby had been born at home and was stillborn. The baby died of natural causes.

The family received prenatal care by Medwin MEDWIN throughout the pregnancy.

Medwin was a longtime friend of the paternal grandmother of the infant. Medwin, who is licensed to practice in Virginia, was requested to assist in the birth as she had done for the couple’s two boys, now ages 2 and 3, according to court testimony.

She had gone to the couple’s Sherrills Ford Road home at 4 a.m. where she checked the baby using a Doppler ultrasound. Medwin later left for her East Bend home so the mother could rest. The mother called Medwin around 8 a.m. to say her labor had progressed.

According to the Medwin’s statement to law enforcement, when she arrived at the couple’s home they were on their way to the hospital.

The only person left at the home was an EMT. Medwin told the detective she cleaned the area where the baby had been born “because she did not want the family to come home to that.”

Benfield said everything was clean, the ultrasound monitor was gone. In fact, it did not look as though a birth had even taken place.

“Did she tell you what the plan was for the birth?” asked Assistant District Attorney Paxton Butler.

“She was there to assist and intervene if something went wrong,” Benfield said.

Medwin was not there when the baby was born.

Benfield said Medwin told her she lived in North Carolina, but has a business, Bethlehem Birthing Services in Virginia.

Medwin’s attorney, Salisbury’s James Davis asked the detective if his client was cooperative.

Benfield said Medwin provided her Virginia license to practice midwifery along with certifications for CPR. She did not produce a North Carolina license.

State lawmakers debate size of Fibrant service area

BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

SALISBURY — Salisbury’s service area for Fibrant could change again today when a committee of state lawmakers votes on a bill restricting city-owned broadband systems.

N.C. Sen. Andrew Brock, a Republican who represents Rowan and Davie counties, said he wants the legislation to prohibit Salisbury from selling Fibrant outside the city limits.

City officials, however, want to offer Fibrant throughout most of Rowan County.

Brock serves on the Senate Finance Committee, which will consider House Bill 129, or “Level Playing Field,” at 1 BROCK p.m. today. He said Salisbury’s original jurisdiction for Fibrant was the city limits.

Doug Paris, assistant city manager, disagreed. Salisbury never intended to limit the size of Fibrant’s service area, he said.

A proposed substitute bill published Tuesday afternoon would allow Salisbury to sell Fi-

brant to four towns in Rowan County — Spencer, East Spencer, Rockwell and Granite Quarry. The towns were included by N.C. Rep. Harry Warren, R-Rowan, in his amendment when the bill passed the N.C. House in March.

Last week, city officials asked Brock to propose widening Salisbury’s service area to include all municipalities in Rowan County except Kannapolis, as well as corridors between the towns.

The city’s draft also included economic development sites, such as Summit Corporate Park, as well as public safety facilities, government buildings and schools and colleges located outside the municipalities.

“All it does is give folks the option to sign up in the future,” Paris said.

The proposal was drafted in concert with the city’s Washington D.C. communications attorney.

After Warren’s amendment limited Salisbury to selling Fibrant in four towns, mayors from every Rowan County town and Concord sent letters to Brock asking him to protect their ability to buy high-speed Internet and other telecommunications services from Salisbury.

But Brock said he decided last weekend he

“It’s gone from a spiderweb to blanket,” he said.

The Senate Finance Committee is expected to debate, consider amendments and vote on House Bill 129 by 3 p.m. today.

A competing bill favored by Salisbury and other cities with broadband networks up and running — Senate Bill 511 —will not proceed, Brock said.

“Everybody has decided to work on 129,” he said.

House Bill 129 still exempts Salisbury from new restrictions officials said could harm Fibrant and the city’s ability to pay back its debt, Paris said.

“That’s an excellent result,” he said.

CONCORD – On April 30, 1975, Saigon fell to the North Vietnamese.

“Every Vietnam veteran suffers on that day,” said Staff Sergeant John “Tilt” Meyer (ret.). “When that city fell, it was a bad day in my life.”

Now, Meyer and other Vietnam Veterans, who feel that they deserted the people of Saigon and Vietnam in 1975, may have something a little more positive to remember the day by.

On April 30, 2011, Sgt. 1st SHUE Class Donald Monroe Shue will finally make his way home after more than 40 years.

Shue, an Army Green Beret, was serving with two others when they went missing on a mission Nov. 3, 1969. Shue, Staff Sgt. William Brown and Staff Sgt. Gunther Wald were last seen wounded 30 miles inside Laos, near Ban Chakevy Tai in Saravane Province. According to military documents, Shue and the other two men — as well as several men who escaped — were attached to a unit performing highly classified maneuvers throughout

FROM 1a “In North Carolina, you’re required to be a nurse and she is not,” Benfield said.

North Carolina only allows certified nurse midwives, who must attend nursing school, to practice. The state does not recognize Certified Professional Midwives.

Medwin said through her attorney, she may have taken the mother’s blood pressure and recommended a place in Statesville for an ultrasound, but did not provide prenatal care.

Davis asked the detective if his client had a signed contract with the couple, set up routine appointments or had received any money for services. Benfield said no.

Butler said the court should not accept the argument that

Medwin was acting as friend to the couple who happened to be a midwife and was assisting the couple in the birth of their baby.

“I’m not saying anything she did led to the death,” Butler said.

He said whether Medwin was a friend assisting, she was still practicing midwifery.

Davis argued his client wasn’t even at the home when the baby was born and therefore did not provide care.

He said there was nothing in the law, particularly the definition of midwifery could be found in this case.

Meliea Holbrook, a friend of Medwin’s and a birth doula, said Medwin’s case is about all women.

A doula is there as a comfort to the mother and child during the birthing process and to help communicate between the mother and medical professional. A doula does not

Firefighters battle blaze on Celebration Drive SALISBURY — Salisbury firefighters responded to a fire on Celebration Drive at 10 p.m. Tuesday.

According to radio traffic on the emergency scanner, the building was vacant, although Salisbury Police reported someone living in the structure a few days ago.

Emergency dispatchers late Tuesday night could not confirm the address of the building that burned or say whether it was occupied.

The structure was fully involved when firefighters arrived.

They fought the blaze defensively.

Clarification In Tuesday’s edition, a list of World War II veterans from Rowan County who are going on the May 21 Flight of Honor from Charlotte to Washington, D.C., failed to include Roy Wilson Stowe, 91. He also will be going on the flight. Stowe served in the Army infantry during the war.

lotte also hopes standards of home birth care can be raised.

Medwin was her midwife and she had a good experience, she said.

She and her husband, Bogdan, would choose a midwife again if they have other children.

Bethany Wilkinson of Charlotte believes the issue goes beyond Rowan County, but affects the whole state.

The standard of care should be raised for a home birth or for a baby born in a hospital, she said.

Four of Wilkinson’s children were born at home.

Judge Hammond also ordered Medwin not to practice midwifery in North Carolina unless she obtains the license to do so. She must also pay court costs.

The mother, who the Post is not identifying, was in court during the trial. The mother has said her family did not blame Medwin.

Medwin gave notice she would appeal.

Medwin did not comment following the trial. Her husband, John, who was also present in court, did not comment.

Medwin still faces charges in Mecklenburg County for regulation of midwifery and resisting arrest, both misdemeanors.

perform medical tasks.

“It’s about the right of women to choose their own procedure, one that they feel is safest and the best choice,” she said.

She added home births have been proven safe. Holbrook supports births at home and in a hospital.

She believes some women want something different from a hospital setting.

Holbrook also said the laws in this state need to be changed.

Sharla Eaton’s last of eight children was born at home, she said which gave her a sense of taking charge of her own health. She admits doctors have their place, but she is a proponent of home births.

Simina Sabadus, of Concord, had her first child born in a hospital and her last at home, assisted by Medwin.

Sabadus said her second time around she was more educated and knowledgeable about the birthing process.

Anne Kinsey, chapter leader for ICAN (International Cesarean Awareness Network) of Charlotte, was on hand to support Medwin.

“If our midwives disappear, women will give birth at home alone,” Kinsey said.

She, too, is an advocate of legislation that would allow independent midwifery in the state.

Fifth-graders visit Price of Freedom Museum he entire fifth-grade class at Landis Elementary arrived in their big yellow buses last week at the Price of Freedom Museum on Weaver Road.

The museum is in the old Patterson School building.

Volunteers of all ages waited to show them around. Veteran Frank Albright led them onto the museum property.

Some went to the museum area in what used to be the school cafeteria.

DAVID Others went to a reFREEZE stored classroom for a presentation on World War ll. Still more gathered around a Vietnam-era Jeep or went on a scavenger hunt.

pen, quietly smiling with the realization that his dream has come true. A commitment from the Rowan County School System and funding for field trips by the Robertson Foundation have made it possible for 1,500 fifth-graders to visit the museum.

Mault and Albright and a host of others envisioned a way to honor those who fought for the freedom that we all enjoy, and to preserve it by displaying artifacts from the various wars and conflicts in America’s 20th Century. Mault relies on 30 volunteers to help visitors tour the museum. About 10 are on hand on this day.

Terry Ogelthorpe, a Vietnam veteran, and 90-year-old World War Two veteran Neill Morrow tell of living conditions and personal experiences during the Battle of the Bulge.

Rowan medical center recertified SALISBURY — Rowan Regional Medical Center has been recertified as a primary stroke center for two more years.

The hospital recently completed a bi-annual survey by the Joint Commission, an independent, not-for-profit organization that evaluates and accredits more than 19,000 health care organizations in the United States.

Hospitals must undergo the recertification process every two years to remain a certified primary stroke center. Rowan Regional was last awarded primary stroke center designation in 2009.

“Rowan Regional Medical Center’s stroke center features specialized care for patients who have suffered a stroke and the most advanced treatment protocols that significantly expand the window of treatment time,” hospital President Dari Caldwell said in a statement.

“Patients who arrive at RRMC’s emergency department with stroke symptoms are seen within minutes by highly trained specialists who immediately begin to make important treatment decisions — 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

The primary stroke center designation is based on compliance with national standards, effective use of established clinical practice guidelines to manage and optimize care, as well as performance measurement and improvement activities.

“The Joint Commission guidelines for the care of the stroke patients are extremely stringent,” Caldwell said. “Retaining our primary stroke center certification is indicative of the excellent care we continue to provide for our patients.”

Firefighters, police square off for charity CONCORD — Members of the Concord Police and Fire and Life Safety Departments engaged in a little friendly competition with citizens on April 16 as part of “Pushups for Charity.”

The event, held at the Moss Creek Village Clubhouse on April 16, raised money for the Wounded Warriors Project (WWP).

Participants were challenged to complete as many pushups as possible in 90 seconds. Members of the Police Department won the competition with 422 collective pushups: Kevin Berg (129), Gary Mearite (125), Patrick Tierney (84) and Denan Sabanija (84). Fire and Life Safety completed a total of 392 pushups: Greg Ryczeck (82), Dustin Hooks (82), Ben Wienecke (80), John Ryczeck (78) and Thomas Knox (70).

Morrow’s accounts of bitter cold and battling ticks, lice and bedbugs hold the kids spellbound.

Morrow also told of Hershey chocolate bars that were made to not melt in temperatures below 140 degrees. His group laid the bars on Jeep engines to soften them up.

Nora Patterson is in charge of the scavenger hunts. She has five different sheets that she uses to keep the children circulating through the displays.

One student was looking for a bracelet made from a Japanese airplane, while another was looking for a “field shower.” Also on the lists are the military veterans who volunteer at the museum.

Woman reunited with her ‘eyes’ Guide dog returns home a little thinner AITH — It’s easy to say that Freda Horne and her guide dog, Debbie, have been inseparable over the past year, but that wouldn’t be exactly true.

For two months, Debbie returned to the Guiding Eyes for the Blind campus in Y o r k t o w n Heights, N.Y., because she was 10 pounds overweight.

Horne acknowledges that she gave Debbie too many treats, and that her husMARK band, Wayne, was WINEKA another enabler.

Every time he gave their pug, Harley, a snack, he felt obligated to give Debbie one, too.

So last August, a representative from Guiding Eyes visited on a routine followup, determined Debbie was overweight and flew with her back to New York. From August to October, the visually impaired Horne was back to dealing with the daily landscape on her own.

“The only way I can describe it is, I stood in that front doorway and watched my eyes leave,” Horne says.

“It was so awful.”

Debbie essentially attended fat camp and slimmed down through the careful monitoring of a veterinary staff. In early October, Guiding Eyes returned Debbie to Horne while she was vacationing in Myrtle Beach.

“She had not forgotten me, and I know I had not forgotten her,” Horne says. “She sticks with me like glue.”

When the Post first visited with Horne and Debbie last May, they were several weeks removed from a month’s training in New York, where they were first brought together.

The New York training was more for Horne than it was for Debbie, who already had been taught the guide dog basics.

Except for the two-month separation, Freda and Debbie have gone everywhere together: shopping, restaurants, church, meetings and vacations — from fishing at the Outer Banks to visiting family in Arizona.

Horne serves as chairman of the guide dog program for the Lions’ District 31-E. Since last July, she and Debbie have given 12 programs in the district, with two more scheduled.

They’ve appeared at club meet-

Freda Horne nuzzles the ear the her guide dog, Debbie, on the steps of their home. ings, schools, senior groups and YMCAs. “We’re getting pretty good at it,” Horne says. “... It’s amazing how smart this dog is. I’m still just amazed.”

Last June, thanks to a Rockwell Lions Club sponsorship, Horne and Debbie attended Camp Dogwood, a Lake Norman retreat for the visually impaired. There were opportunities for the campers to water-ski, fish, ride in speed boats and pontoons, ride horses, participate in arts and crafts, go shopping, “or you can do nothing,” Horne says.

One day, when Horne and others left their boat to take a swim in Lake Norman, Debbie jumped in with her.

As you might expect, Debbie — a 3-year-old Labrador retriever — likes to swim.

“She looks like an otter in the water,” Horne boasts.

But she initially had concerns about how Debbie was going to get back into the boat. She should not have worried.

“Guess what,” Horne says, “she climbed the ladder.”

A registered nurse now on disability, Horne suffers from diabetic retinopathy. She lost sight in her right eye in 1999. With her good eye, she can see about 2 feet in front of her. Sitting down, she sees Debbie at her feet, but standing up, Horne loses sight of her.

Reading something like a medicine bottle takes big magnifying glasses.

With her poor sight, Horne can’t drive and has to depend on friends and family for transportation. She relies on a harnessed Debbie to maneuver her through public places.

“We go shopping,” Horne says, “but it did take me a little while to figure out our system.”

Because she still has some vision, Horne said she sometimes makes the mistake of thinking she has to guide Debbie, when it should be Debbie who is guiding her.

If Horne ever loses her sight completely, she realizes she and Debbie probably will have to return to Guiding Eyes for the Blind for retraining.

People often ask Horne how she disciplines Debbie, “but I haven’t a clue,” she says, describing how obedient and personable Debbie is. She has yet to hear Debbie bark.

Overall, people in public places are accepting of Debbie, Horne says.

She had a clerk in a South Carolina Shell station who wanted to remove them, and a couple of restaurants in Salisbury have served Horne, but only after some initial reservations about having a dog in their establishments.

One restaurant isolated Horne in an empty section of its dining room.

“It upset me because that wasn’t nice,” Horne says. “I”m not anybody to shove in a corner.”

Freda home relies upon her guide to help her navigate the world.

As for Debbie’s weight, it is supposed to stay between 58 and 63 pounds.

Horne takes her to a veterinarian for a weigh-in every two weeks, and Debbie came in at 61.5 pounds on her last trip.

The slimmer Debbie is a star wherever she goes — and she pretty much knows it.

“She just woos everybody,” Horne says. “She doesn’t meet a stranger.”

WOODLEAF — Authorities say a family of four and a friend were arrested Tuesday on various charges that came from the discovery of an indoor marijuana operation as investigators were searching the home for evidence of numerous larcenies.

The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office criminal investigations division has been investigating several outbuilding break-ins and larcenies in the western part of the county.

During the investigation, detectives discovered the crimes were related and were able to find that two brothers were part of the group likely responsible for many of the crimes, authorities said.

On Monday, detectives searched the home of Coty and Aaron Smith, 165 Sassafras Lane, Woodleaf, and found evidence linking the brothers to several outbuilding break-ins and larcenies, including a recently stolen Honda motorcycle from the landfill in Woodleaf, authorities said.

Also during the search, detectives reportedly found a marijuana operation with lights, a watering system and 18 plants in various stages of growth. A second and smaller operation was found in one of the bedrooms, but wasn’t functioning.

Authorities said the evidence found indicated the marijuana operation had been going on for some time. Warrants for their arrests were served Tuesday morning.

The following people have been charged: • David Curtis Gentle, 23, of 2615 Potneck Road, Woodleaf; felony breaking and entering and larceny, misdemeanor larceny and possession of stolen goods. Gentle was given a $5,000 secured bond.

• Aaron Levi Smith, 17, of 165 Sassafras Lane, Woodleaf; two counts of felony breaking and entering and larceny, misdemeanor larceny, possession of stolen property, felony possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver marijuana and felony manufacturing a controlled substance. He was given a $5,000 bond.

• Coty Dale Smith, 18, of 165 Sassafras Lane, Woodleaf; two counts of felony breaking, entering and larceny, misdemeanor larceny, possession of stolen property, felony possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver mari-

SPENCER — A Spencer man charged with break-ins across East Spencer in 2010 was back in jail Tuesday for similar charges in Guilford County.

Tyquinn Marquis Campbell, 21, of 109 Long Ferry Road, was charged Monday with safecracking, conspiracy, felony breaking and entering, felony larceny and injury to real CAMPBELL property, and was given a $20,000 secured bond.

Campbell was charged in November for breaking into homes in East Spencer and Charlotte with a break-in ring of six others. More than 20 homes in East Spencer were broken into by the group, authorities said.

Campbell’s criminal record begins in 2006 when he was convicted of felony breaking and entering, and since has been convicted of additional counts of breaking and entering and larceny, receiving a stolen vehicle and simple assault.

According to the N.C. Department of Corrections’ website, while in prison in July of 2009 until June of 2010, Campbell received 14 infractions, including damage to property, profane language, threatening to harm or injure staff, involvement with a gang or security threat group (STG) and attempting a class A offense.

RALEIGH (AP) — The General Assembly could block certain future federal railroad grants offered to North Carolina in a bill given initial House approval.

The House voted 67-50 on Tuesday to make the Legislature’s approval of federal grants a prerequisite before they could be accepted when state matching funds or annual project maintenance exceeds $5 million, with exceptions. The state Department of Transportation would have to consult a legislative commission when it surpassed $3 million.

An earlier version would have applied to $460 million already awarded to DOT to improve passenger service between Charlotte and Raleigh. Bill sponsor Rep. Ric Killian of Charlotte backed off that idea, but he said lawmakers should still have a say over future awards in the name of fiscal responsibility.

Opponents say the requirement would discourage rail improvements.

Student article leads to teacher’s arrest WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — A Durham band instructor has turned himself in to authorities after a college newspaper published details of a sexual relationship between a high school teacher and student.

Terry Lamar Jones Jr. was charged Monday with 64 counts of sexual activity with a student. Investigators say the 28-year-old Jones had sex with a 17-year-old student for seven months in 2007 while he was teaching at WinstonSalem’s Parkland High School.

The first-person newspaper article refers to the teacher only as “Smith” and says he helped the student get an abortion.

Jones resigned from Parkland in November 2008.

Durham Public Schools spokeswoman Tahira Stalberte said Jones resigned from Shepard Middle School on Tuesday.

Jones is in the Forsyth County jail on $500,000 bond.

His attorney said Jones is innocent until proven guilty.

Democrats pressuring GOP on jobless checks RALEIGH (AP) — Democrats at the North Carolina Legislature are trying to pressure Republican leaders to end a stalemate that has prevented the extension of unemployment benefits to 37,000 people out of work for well over a year.

The Senate Democratic Caucus scheduled a public hearing today to hear from advocates and people who have run out of benefits and could receive 20 additional weeks of assistance.

Gov. Beverly Perdue vetoed a bill earlier this month that would have extended benefits but also required Perdue to accept a 13 percent cut from the spending plan she proposed as a starting point for negotiations for next year’s budget.

Democratic Rep. William Wainwright of Craven County also began an effort to extract his stand-alone benefits bill from a House committee to force a floor vote.

Soman gets 12 years for Medicaid fraud RALEIGH (AP) — A Murfreesboro woman who defrauded Medicaid of more than $3.5 million has been sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Prosecutors say Shirlene Boone was ordered Tuesday to repay what she stole along with more than $1 million to the Internal Revenue Service and $45,000 to the North Carolina Employment Security Commission.

Authorities say Boone’s scam lasted for 13 years as she billed for services that were never provided and told employees of her community support services and HIV case management firm to fake timecards for hours they did not work.

Investigators say Boone had her workers apply for unemployment while they worked and took a cut of that money.

Prosecutors say Boone also failed to pay withholding taxes for her employees.

Man’s bond increased over More at Four earns national recognition second assault charge North Carolina Department of Public Instruction

SALISBURY — A Salisbury man in jail on an assault charge from April 12 was charged Monday night with another assault that happened on the same day as the first.

William Isaac Darryl Sanders, 28, of 818 Lincolnton Road, was charged with assault inflicting serious injury and possession of a firearm by a felon. His bond was increased by SANDERS $10,000 to $15,750.

Police said Sanders and Joshua Kirkley, of East Bank Street, got into an argument April 12 at the intersection of Park Avenue and Long Street, and Sanders pistolwhipped Kirkley, sending him to the hospital for several gashes to his head.

Kirkley was treated at Rowan Regional Medical Center and released the same day.

Sanders was in jail already, charged with the April

12 beating of a Salisbury man.

Salisbury Police reported James Neil Scott and his girlfriend, Mary Ann Beason, were sitting in their hotel room at the Economy Inn when two men entered — one with a gun — and began beating Scott.

Beason escaped from the room and call 911.

Police charged two men with the assault, including Sanders, who was charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury and possession of a firearm by a felon. He was given a $5,000 secured bond on that charge at the time.

According to the N.C. Department of Corrections, Sanders is a convicted felon, whose convictions begin in 1999, and include possession of stolen goods, speeding to elude arrest, possession with intent to sell or deliver a counterfeit controlled substance, possession with intent to sell or deliver a schedule II controlled susbstance, assault on a female, felony breaking and entering, driving while impaired and credit card fraud.

Perdue urges tornado victims to apply for help

North Carolina’s More at Four pre-Kindergarten program is one of only five state programs in the nation to score a perfect 10 on benchmarks for quality standards according to The State of Preschool 2010, a report just released by the National Institute for Early Education Research (NIEER).

This is the sixth year More at Four has ranked among the top pre-K programs in the country and the third year for which North Carolina’s program met all 10 quality benchmarks.

On other specific rankings nationwide, North Carolina placed 19th for access to preschool and 13th for state spending per child enrolled in preschool.

“More at Four has helped to close the achievement gap by providing a critical first year of public education for our youngest at-risk learners,” said State Superintendent June Atkinson.

“Recent budget proposals that would cut the program by 20 percent and transfer it out of the Department of Public Instruction would make it impossible to maintain the critical focus on high quality teachers, access for the most disadvantaged children and the academic curriculum that have helped to create so many

success stories for students across our state.”

A decade of independent evaluations conducted by the FPG Child Development Institute at UNC-Chapel Hill has shown that More at Four is effective in boosting student achievement over the long term.

The most recent study, completed in 2010, confirmed that economically-disadvantaged children who attended More at Four performed significantly better on statewide third-grade reading and math tests than similar children who were not served by the program.

The study also found that the gap between average test scores of economically-disadvantaged students who attended More at Four and mid-

RALEIGH (AP) — Gov. Beverly Perdue is encouraging North Carolina residents who suffered damage a deadly April 16 storm to apply for federal help, and she demonstrated how to do that during a visit to a Wake County disaster recovery center.

“It’s a very simple process and nobody should be afraid of it,” Perdue said as she sat at an intake desk Tuesday at the Chavis Heights Community Center.

The governor — acting like a tornado victim who lost her home — was asked to produce identifying documents, including her Social Security number.

In cases where this important paperwork was lost during the storm, she said citizens can still get help because officials of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Small Business Administration can look up missing information.

Other storm victims without documentation, such as those living in the U.S. illegally, should still contact the centers because they can connect with private agencies for help, said Glen Sachtleben, FEMA’s deputy federal coordinating officer for North Carolina.

The National Weather Service in Raleigh has determined that a total of 28 tornadoes touched down in the state, killing 24 and doing widespread damage. Eighteen counties have been declared federal disaster areas, so residents can apply for federal aid.

“If you are in a county that doesn’t have a disaster

declaration don’t be angry, don’t despair,” Perdue said “Evaluations are still going on.”

About 20 homes were damaged in Rowan and Davie counties when a tornado hit as the storm moved across the Salisbury area.

FEMA officials said Monday that most claims are being processed within seven days and assistance is based on need, not income.

Perdue advised all storm victims to register with FEMA to see what help they may qualify for. Registration may be done at a disaster recovery center, by phone at 800-621-3362 or at www.fema .gov.

Many residents may also be eligible for a new SBA program that allows anyone who has lost income due to the storm to be considered for assistance, including those who are self-employed, farmers and owners of momand-pop businesses.

Even those whose property is covered by insurance may be eligible for additional help, the governor said.

Perdue also issued warnings for property owners to remove or secure belongings in response to a rash of burglaries in some areas hit by the tornadoes.

And she cautioned that people use only licensed contractors to repair or replace damaged structures.

The state Department of Insurance and the state Attorney General’s office have set up services for tornado victims to deal with questions about insurance coverage and reports of fraud.

Parents sue Charlotte Diocese ASHEVILLE (AP) — The parents of a girl who was repeatedly molested by a music minister at an Asheville church are suing the minister as well as his boss and the Diocese of Charlotte.

Church leaders knew Paul Berrell, 31, had a history of assaulting children in other states before he was sent to St. Eugene Catholic Church in 2007, according to the lawsuit.

Berrell was sentenced to 28 years in federal prison last month after pleading guilty to producing child pornography. Authorities said the girl

whose parents filed the lawsuit was coerced into having sex with Berrell while he was giving her piano and voice lessons. She was 13 when he was arrested in May 2009.

The lawsuit also names former St. Eugene Catholic Church pastor the Rev. John Schneider. He is awaiting trial on a felony obstruction of justice charge after investigators said he went to Berrell’s apartment after the music minister called him to say he was arrested and erased child pornography from Berrell’s computer.

dle-class students was reduced by between 25 and 40 percent, depending on the test and the year.

Previous independent evaluations of More at Four also have consistently shown that children served by the program show growth beyond developmental expectations in language and literacy, math and social skills.

W. Steven Barnett, co- director of the National Institute for Early Education Research and author of The State of Preschool 2010, said proposals for drastic cuts and the governance change now being considered would sacrifice the progress North Carolina has made in recent years and put the future of pre-K in the state in serious doubt.

A R E A / S TAT E

FROM 1a Southeast Asia.

The family was notified and Shue was classified as missing in action. On Jan. 15, 1979, he was classified as killed in action, and a military marker sits above an empty grave at Carolina Memorial Park in Kannapolis.

Weather had prevented a recovery team from entering Laos until days after Shue and his comrades went missing and no remains, or graves, were found. The United States never negotiated for the more than 600 American soldiers lost in Laos and no American soldier has ever been released, according to the Rolling Thunder Web site.

Later, it was revealed that Shue was part of the “secret war” in Vietnam — a member of the MACVSOG, or Military Assistance Command, Vietnam — Studies and Observation Group, he was an elite soldier, only one of 400-500 that who ran recognizance missions across the borders of Vietnam into Cambodia and Laos.

Meyer, co-author of “On The Ground: The Secret War in Vietnam,” met Shue shortly before he was classified as Missing in Action in 1969. He will be in town Friday to help celebrate bringing Shue home.

“I always called him the ‘Special Forces Poster Child,’” joked Meyer. “He was so handsome in his beret, always smiling. … He was a class act and highly respected by all who knew him.

“I only knew him a few days, then he was off and the rest is sad history,” he added.

Meyer will speak at the ceremony in Concord on Saturday, one of what is anticipated to be thousands of military personnel in attendance at the event.

Before the ceremony in Concord, Shue’s body will be flown from Pearl Harbor to Charlotte-Douglas Airport, where it will be met by the men and women of Rolling Thunder, Patriot Guard Riders and other military and civilian motorcycle clubs,

Medical negligence changes heading to committee RALEIGH (AP) — House and Senate members will spend a little more time on how North Carolina should limit monetary damages in medical negligence cases.

The Senate rejected Tuesday changes to its bill made by the House last week. The competing measures now will be worked out into one compromise in a conference committee.

The two chambers both agreed to place a $500,000 cap of some kind for jury awards for the non-economic harm of a patient who has been the

which will escort him in a rolling procession to Kannapolis, with stops along the way.

Shue will be escorted by the Concord Police Department, the Kannapolis Police Department and the Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office, with support from the CharlotteMecklenburg Police Department and the North Carolina Highway Patrol. In addition, two U.S. Army North Carolina National Guard AH-64D “Apache” helicopters will join the procession convoy from the air.

The convoy will travel through Charlotte on Interstate 85 north to Interstate 485. At exit 33, the procession will detour onto N.C. 49 North and travel through Harrisburg to Warren C. Coleman Boulevard to Union Street and into downtown Concord.

In downtown Concord, a ceremony will be held when the procession arrives, estimated to be at about 11 a.m.

Saturday. The ceremony will include several musical performances and special presentations from government and veteran groups, including Meyer.

“This is about the spirit of the corps,” said Meyer on why he is attending the events this weekend. He lives in California. “This is about our soldiers. …

“If I had disappeared, I know that Donnie would be there for my family,” said Meyer.

Jeff Phillips, president of Rolling Thunder N.C. Chapter 2, said the event will be huge.

“It’s going to be big,” he said. “It’s going to be real big.”

Phillips would not guess how many motorcyclists would be escorting Shue, only to say it could be as many as 1,000 to 10,000.

“They’re coming from everywhere,” he said. “The family called me and said they wanted it to be big, so I politely invited the world.”

While Meyer will travel from California, he isn’t the only person coming from far away and is not nearly the person travelling the farthest.

Nick DiBenedetto of Rome, Italy, holds that distinction.

DiBenedetto will arrive Friday for the ceremony. He met

Shue briefly in 1956 and wore a POW/MIA bracelet honoring Shue for years. Others will travel from New Orleans, Florida, Delaware, Maine and all other parts of the United States for the ceremony.

Concord Mayor Scott Padgett also hesitated to estimate how many men and women would come for the ceremony, but hoped that citizens in all parts of the county along the procession route would stand on the side of the road to honor Shue and his family.

The city is encouraging everyone to wave small American flags and asking businesses and residents along the route to display American flags and other patriotic items.

“Our goal as far as the ceremony is to have a brief, somber and respectful ceremony to honor Sgt. Shue and his family,” said Padgett Tuesday afternoon.

Padgett admitted Shue likely would not have gotten this reception had he come home from the war in the late 1960s or early 1970s.

“Unfortunately, there were such mixed feelings about that war that a whole generation of soldiers didn’t get the thanks and respect they deserve,” said Padgett.

“They didn’t choose the war, the war chose them.”

After the ceremony in Concord, the procession will continue to Kannapolis, where the body will lie in state at Whitley’s Funeral Home until 6 p.m. A ceremony will also be held in Veterans Park to honor Shue when the convoy gets to Kannapolis.

Shue will be buried with full military honors under that headstone that currently sits over an empty grave in Carolina Memorial Park on Sunday at 2 p.m.

At the end of Operation Homecoming in 1973, more than 2,600 Americans did not return from Southeast Asia and were unaccounted for.

Since then, the remains of 900 Americans killed in the war have been recovered and returned to their families.

Shue’s name is located at 16W Row 24 on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall in Washington, D.C.

The Defense Department did not release details of the incident. Day was assigned to 2nd Marine Special Operations Battalion, Marine Special Operations Regiment, with the U.S. Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command at Camp Lejeune.

The Pentagon also reported Tuesday that 41-year-old Sgt. 1st Class Bradley S. Hughes of Newark, Ohio, died Sunday in a noncombat incident in Afghanistan. Military officials did not release the circumstances of the death except to say it occurred in Kandahar province.

Hughes was assigned to the 528th Sustainment Brigade at Fort Bragg.

House panel OKs tax breaks for special needs kids RALEIGH (AP) — Parents could get tax credits if their children with disabilities or other special needs attend private school or receive outside services under a proposal approved by a House committee Tuesday. It’s the latest example of a public education idea getting more traction now that Republicans control the Legislature.

The same committee rejected a very similar measure two years ago, when Democrats were in charge of the House. The Republicans are now in control, and Majority Leader Paul Stam, RWake, is the bill’s chief backer. Stam said the bill would give parents of children who aren’t finding success in helping their specialneeds children in public schools a chance do so elsewhere without going broke.

The measure also would result in tens of millions of dollars in savings to the state and local school districts and set aside money to a dedicated fund to help special-needs children who remain in the public schools, Stam said. A review by the Legislature’s fiscal staff projects up to 5 percent of the eligible 158,000 students would participate in the program offering up to $6,000 in credits annually.

“This bill does not solve all the problems with students with special needs but it does help a lot of them,” Stam said.

“Not all schools fit every special child.”

The committee passed the measure 26-17 despite opposition from groups representing teachers and school districts worried it would siphon

money from the public schools, some of whom called it a publicly funded education voucher.

“We believe that this bill will lead to a very slippery slope,” Bill McNeal, executive director of the North Carolina Association of School Administrators, told committee members. “The state will be better served by investing in these services rather than encouraging people to leave the public school system.”

Parents of a child who is identified by the public schools as having special needs and has been enrolled in the public schools the past two semesters can seek the credit for tuition and other services at a private school or services for a child who attends school at home. The threshold would be reduced to one semester in the public schools starting in 2016.

The credit, which could be up to $3,000 per semester, is refundable — meaning the parent could get a check from state tax collectors if the size of their credit is greater than what they owe in state taxes.

Lobbyists representing advocates for parents of children with disabilities spoke for the bill even though they said many of their members have been pleased with the services they’ve received from the public schools.

“We also work with a number of parents who are quite frankly frustrated and many who are desperate to find better education alternatives for their children,” said Jennifer Mahan with the Autism Soci-

ety of North Carolina.

Starting in July 2012, the bill would set aside an amount equal to the number of credits multiplied by $2,000 for a state “special education fund” to be used for educational programs and services for public school children.

The General Assembly’s fiscal staff projected the special education fund would receive roughly $10 million annually. Stam pointed out the staff also predicts the bill also would actually save annually roughly $10 million in state costs and about $9.5 million for local districts combined.

“It’s a win, win, win, win,” Stam said.

Local school districts receive the same amount of money from the state for children who don’t require much assistance with disabilities receipts compared to those with more severe needs, said Leanne Winner with the North Carolina School Boards Association. So if parents remove children with fewer needs, she said, “we will not have enough money to educate the (children) who are left in the system.”

Stam also is the chief proponent of a measure that would create an additional $2,500 per-child tax credit for parents who educate their children in private and home schools. The bill hasn’t been heard. The Legislature is also trying to work out differences between competing House and Senate versions of a bill that would remove the 100school cap on charter schools.

Democrats who led the Legislature for years declined to remove the cap.

Healthy doggie treats you can make at home

Maintaining portion control

BY EMILY WILDER For The Salisbury Post

C

ooking is an act of love. Friends and family, co-workers and neighbors have dined at my table. Spending time

preparing the nourishment that will be the to their evening is both coveted pleasure and welcomed responsibility for the cook.

Accepting this responsibility and reward is not unlike the role a dog owner must take.

I am responsible for my pet’s well-being, and in turn, she provides enjoyment and unconditional love.

That, plus lots of fur balls and muddy paw prints!

Last weekend, I decided it was time to let Callie dine at my figurative table by extending the cooking love to her doggie treats.

Sure, I could walk down the aisle of any grocery or pet store and choose a drool-inducing puppy snack, but I have come to equate that with driving through a fast food lane to buy my own dinner. Although convenient, it’s not particularly healthy and the cost can add up quickly.

With a few simple, staple ingredients, your pooch can snack in style. Talk with your vet first if you have concerns about diet choices, but some of the best treats you can feed your dog are the same good treats humans should eat!

Crunchy carrots or broccoli stalks, steamed green beans or zucchini, and frozen blueberries all make excellent snacks in place of fatty, preservative-laden storebought products.

Just like many packaged human food items, quality is often sacrificed for production cost and shelf life. Cooking for your dog is the best way to know exactly what your furry member of the family is eating. After all, one of the food principles I live by is reading labels on the prepared foods I do bring into my kitchen. What better way to show my love for the one who licks my face than by allowing her the benefits I find in eating home-cooked, whole, fresh foods?

Making treats for your pet is also a great way to bond with your dog.

PetSmart carries a line of Martha Stewart products including a set of dog-bone shaped biscuit cutters so the whole family can participate in the fun!

p Callie gets a few ‘Peanut Butter Paws’ a crispy treat made with flour and peanut butter.

Tricks of the Treat Keep in mind, these recipes are for treats, not in place of your dog’s regular food, and should be consumed in moderation. It is also important to know which ingredients are not suited to your canine best friend. Onions and garlic should be avoided, as well as starchy vegetables, such as potatoes, in large quantity. Avocado, mushrooms, and tomatoes are also best left out of these recipes. Other ingredients such as chocolate, coffee/tea, grapes/raisins, artificial sweeteners, and some nuts are on the toxic list, too. Be sure processed items you include (such as cheese, peanut butter, broth, etc.) only have real food ingredients. For example, peanut butter should just have one: peanuts!

Local strawberries, vegetable plants now on sale at Farmers Market

BY SUE DAVIS Local strawberries are here! Most food storage books tell us the best way to store fresh strawberries is “buy berries from a local farmer and eat them the same day without putting them in the refrigerator.” I saw many people eating their just purchased berries as they strolled through the market last Saturday morning. If you want to enjoy a few berries everyday, Country Garden has pots of strawberry plants with ripe strawberries dangling down the side. Miller Farms has both field grown and hoop house berries; Eagle Farms hopes to have strawberries on Wednesday, if we continue to see warm days.

Twenty-eight vendors lined up at the market Saturday. They offered a good variety of items to pick from.

There are many crafters offerings gourd birdhouses, soaps, quilts, aprons, hats and

other gift items. Correll Farms, Cress Farms, Eagle Farms and Kraus Farms have a wide variety of lettuces and spring onions. Cole Crops like Bok Choy, Napa Cabbage, broccoli, collards, swiss chard, and spinach are available.

Many vendors have vegetable plants for sale. Bluebird Acres Farm has a large variety of herb plants available. They also have a nice selection of flower and vegetable plants. Country Garden has many varieties of tomato plants and a nice selection of peppers along with many other vegetable plants for the garden. Dawn’s Greenhouse has interesting patio sized plants including peas. Joyce’s Flowers has an assortment of roses, hanging baskets, bedding plants and containers.

ast week’s column was about the many ways to move more every day to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. This week we will identify strategies for maintaining proper portion control and how larger portions often mean consuming more calories than you need.

Did you know that portion sizes have increased over the past 20 years and continue to get larger?

The continuing trends of TOI super-sizing, DEGREE huge portions, all-you-caneat buffets and extra-large single servings have all contributed to our expanding waistlines. This has happened because portions that are offered are often more than we need.

Eating larger portions at one meal would not be such a problem if we ate less at the next meal or over time.

This does not happen, however. Research shows that we don’t compensate at other meals for large portions consumed by eating less at the next meal.

So what is the difference between a portion and a serving?

A “portion” can be thought of as the amount of a specific food you choose to eat for dinner, snack, or other eating occasion. Portions, of course can be bigger or smaller than the recommended serving size.

A “serving” is a unit of measure used to describe the amount of food recommended from each food group. It is the amount of food listed on the Nutrition Facts panel on packaged food or the amount of food recommended in the Food Guide Pyramid and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

Many foods that come as a single portion actually contain multiple servings. The Nutrition Facts label on packaged foods — on the backs of cans, sides of boxes — tells you the number of servings in the container.

For example, look at the label of a 20-ounce soda (typically consumed as one portion), and you’ll see that it has 2.5 servings in it, when a typical serving is considered to be 8 ounces. A 3-ounce bag of chips — which some would consider a single portion — contains three oneounce servings, or about 1113 chips depending on the type of chip.

Be sure to check the label to see how much is considered a recommended serving. Remember, when you choose to consume more than the recommended serving on the Nutrition Facts panel that you double maybe even triple the calories, fat, sodium, etc. For every serving that you consume over and above the recommended serving, you multiply each of the items on the Nutrition Facts panel by that number.

For example a 20-ounce soft drink has 250 calories per serving, and if you drink the entire 20 ounces you will have consumed 625 calories from a drink alone. That

FROM 8a coupled with eating the way you normally would is the perfect recipe for weight gain.

If you are just starting to monitor your portions, in the beginning it would be a good idea to measure what you eat for a few weeks.

This will help you learn what normal portions look like on your plate.

Another way to do so is to use these as guides: your hands, finger, a deck of cards and dice. We have all seen these and can identify with their dimensions. Each of these items can be used to represent a serving of one food or another.

Let’s take a look at how.

If you wanted to have some almonds, you can use the palm of your hand to measure out 1 ounce — a serving. To measure meat, use the palm of your hand or a deck or cards for comparison. The serving size for meat is 3 ounces, or about the size of the palm of your hand or a deck of playing cards. One ounce of cheese

PORTION

is about the size of your thumb or two dice. Your fist is about the size of one cup of broccoli or one cup or one ounce of cereal.

Also use these strategies to help with portion size: • Measure — The best way to get a handle on portion sizes is to measure and/or weigh your food.

• Don’t serve family style. Serve reasonable portions on individual plates, instead of putting the serving dishes on the table.

• Don’t eat directly from containers or bags. Put a reasonable amount of food into a bowl or container and leave the rest of the package in the pantry.

• Use smaller plates, bowls or glasses. Like our portions, dinner plates have gotten larger over time.

Some dinner plates are two to three inches larger than in the past.

• Be mindful of how much you are eating.

• Don’t eat while doing other things like watching TV or driving.

GREG MORTENSON’S DECEIT

A bitter taste left by ‘Tea’ est-selling author Greg Mortenson has disappointed and confounded many people, including local reading groups and the Catawba College freshmen who soaked up his “Three Cups of Tea” as last summer’s reading assignment. But the purported fabrications in his story and questionable expenditures by his school-building charity shouldn’t cause people to angrily close the book on Mortenson’s mission. At least, not until we know the full story.

Mortenson’s 2006 book became an international phenomenon, making him a wellpaid speaker and laying the cornerstone for his Central Asia Institute, a nonprofit that builds schools in remote areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan. That book and a sequel, “Turning Stones into Schools,” became required reading not only on college campuses but among U.S. military brass who linked the winning of hearts and minds to Mortenson’s message that education — particularly for young girls — was critical to countering Islamic radicalism.

Now, Mortenson is accused of fabricating parts of his story, and critics contend a significant portion of the $50 million donated to the institute was channeled instead into the Mortenson publicity machine. A “60 Minutes” expose said half of CAI schools its reporters visited were either unused or inadequately supported. Fellow author Jon Krakauer, who donated $75,000 to the institute, penned a scathing indictment titled “Three Cups of Deceit.”

We’ve been here before. James Frey received a public rebuke from Oprah for falsehoods in his purported memoir “A Million Little Pieces.” A couple of years ago, Margaret Setzer’s “Love and Consequences,” vividly recounting her youth amid the gang turfs of South Central L.A., turned out to be a hoax. Decades ago, Clifford Irving channeled Howard Hughes.

This time, however, more is at stake than reputations and royalties. Suicide bombers, public stonings and the oppression of women remain brute fact. Fanaticism flourishes amid ignorance and insularity. Education is a powerful antidote.

Mortenson may have inflated his accomplishments, yet he has in fact launched schools, and some of them have transformed young lives. Even Krakauer concedes as much: “He has helped thousands of school kids in Pakistan and Afghanistan. ... He has become perhaps the world’s most effective spokesperson for girls’ education in developing countries. And he deserves credit for that.”

While Mortenson has vanished from view, citing health issues, the Central Asia Institute has a new administrator who promises to operate with more transparency and carry on its worthwhile work. Let’s hope new leadership can rebuild trust as well as build sustainable schools. It would be a bitter drink indeed if the young people inspired by “Three Cups of Tea” were left with only the dregs of cynicism, exploitation and endless cycles of violence.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

Life is not a final. It’s daily pop quizzes.

ritish-born journalist Tim Hetherington was killed in Libya by a rocket-propelled grenade, during the sort of heavy combat he covered remarkably effectively in multiple media platforms. American photojournalist Chris Hondros also was killed in the attack, and two other reporters were wounded.

Professionally, Hetherington was a man for all seasons, handling a wide range of communications and creative assignments with discipline, flair and insight.

His ties to the United States were strong.

He was most ARTHUR recently I. CYR based in Brooklyn and served as a contributing photographer for Vanity Fair magazine.

His documentary “Restrepo,” chronicling deployment with U.S. military forces in Afghanistan, was nominated for an Academy Award. As in Libya, he was at the front of the action, covering the 173rd Airborne Brigade of the U.S. Army. That experience also resulted in his book “Infidel.” In 2009, he produced the book “Long Story Bit by Bit: Liberia Retold,” which combined prose and photographs, and expressed hope for that nation.

Reflecting on his exceptional career and death underscores the fundamental importance of our war correspondents, past and present.

They perform a difficult but essential mission, providing a bridge between a democratic society defined by open free debate, and the necessarily controlled information environment required by war.

Parallels increasingly are drawn between the unconventional warfare of Afghanistan, especially as the conflict has dragged on for a decade, and America’s long-term and ultimately unsuccessful military engagement in Vietnam.

News coverage of these two wars contrasts markedly.

President Lyndon B. Johnson, with a widely credited reputation for deceptiveness, nevertheless was emphatic from the start that the press be allowed very open access to military operations in Vietnam. Perhaps LBJ’s reputation spurred that decision to abandon censorship. In retrospect, the policy clearly was a mistake, and more customary restrictions on the media have been employed in our military conflicts since, including Afghanistan.

Courage and commitment to duty link the service of dedicated Americans, military and civilian, in both conflicts. “Dispatches," Michael Herr’s gripping account of the atmosphere and events of the Vietnam War, is one of the most insightful and moving accounts of that conflict.

He makes pointed reference to the camaraderie which developed between reporters and troopers, with even the most anti-war among the correspondents impressed by the courage of men in combat, and even the most cynical of soldiers going to extreme lengths to protect the journalists in their charge.

Correspondent Jack Fuller’s story is also germane. After service in Vietnam as a combat correspondent for “Stars and Stripes,” he earned a law degree and pursued a career in journalism, including the posts of editor and publisher of the Chicago Tribune. Fuller’s novel “Fragments” chronicles moral and physical traps of war, reminiscent of Graham Greene’s “The Quiet American.” Fuller’s recent book “What is Happening to News” warns pervasive contemporary media are greatly diluting traditional reporting.

In other words, good journalism is more challenging than ever.

As media inundation grows, evaluate your sources with care.

Bad decision in Dearborn Jones’ message may offend but still protected he RINO (reverend in name only) Terry Jones is like his fellow RINO, Fred Phelps, but in political drag.

Jones, the “pastor” (PINO?) of the tiny and inconsequential Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Fla., was jailed last week in Dearborn, Mich., “following a jury trial that found he was likely to create a ‘breach of the peace’ for plans to protest outside the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn,” according to the Detroit News. Jones and his associate Wayne Sapp CAL were taken into custody after THOMAS they refused to post a $1 “peace bond.” A judge then barred Jones and Sapp from entering the property of the Islamic Center —the largest mosque in the U.S. — for three years. The two posted bond and were released, but they promised to return on Friday.

Last month, Jones burned a Koran, which led to demonstrations and deaths in the Middle East.

Let’s get the obligatory and obvious out of the way before moving to the central issue in this case. Jones is a publicity hound and an offense to the One he claims to follow.

Having said that, what about Jones’ First Amendment rights? In 1977, the Illinois Supreme Court, after instruction from the U.S. Supreme Court, allowed the National Socialist Party of America to march through Skokie, Ill., home of many Holocaust survivors. The Illinois Supreme Court even ruled that the hated swastika was a form of free speech and thus entitled to First Amendment protection. So, though neo-Nazi’s marching through a predominantly Jewish town wearing swastikas might be considered offensive, the court ruled, it was not illegal.

In the case of Fred Phelps and his family, all members of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., who carry outrageous “Thank God for dead soldiers” signs and claim America is being punished because of its growing tolerance for homosexuals, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the 8-1 majority: “Speech is powerful. It can stir people to action, move them to tears of both joy and sorrow, and — as

T

it did here — inflict great pain. On the facts before us, we cannot react to that pain by punishing the speaker.”

Speech with which one agrees is easy to defend. Most would defend political speech with which they disagree, although a minority would censor it. The strength and uniqueness of the First Amendment is that it defends even hate speech. The response to speech we don’t like is not less speech, but more. In Skokie, some Holocaust survivors created a museum to commemorate those who were murdered by the Nazis. That’s the correct reaction. Overcome darkness with light. Overcome speech you don’t like with speech you do like.

In the Jones case, what are the Dearborn authorities thinking? Isn’t Islam a “religion of peace”? President Obama — and George W. Bush before him — said it is. If lawful speech and assembly brings an unlawful act of violence, shouldn’t the lawbreakers be the ones punished?

This is America, and public sidewalks should be for the use of the public to practice even offensive speech and peaceful assembly.

That some “fear” violence is no excuse for prior restraint of speech and assembly. From whom is the violence feared?

What the Muslims in Dearborn and elsewhere in the country should be told is that in America, we do things differently than in countries where Muslims have political control. If you want to be tolerated, you have to tolerate others, including those whose beliefs you don’t like. We don’t conform to your religious laws; you conform to our secular laws. We are about freedom.

If you have an agenda, don’t bring it here. In fact, if our ways are so offensive to you, why are you here? Why come to a land regarded by some Islamic leaders, and many followers, as “the Great Satan”? Why not stay in your home country, or, if you were born in America and embrace Islam, why not live in countries where Islam is the dominant religion? Or do you wish to dominate and subjugate the rest of us to your Sharia law?

If that is your goal, we will oppose you and even demonstrate against it. Except, apparently, in Dearborn, Mich.

A break in NFL lockout Scripps Howard News Service

ome 16 years ago this spring, a woman helped save baseball from the most disastrous labor dispute in sports history.

When a federal judge, Sonia Sotomayor, ruled that Major League Baseball owners had illegally implemented a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) on striking players, a bitter, 232-day battle ended and Sotomayor started on her path to becoming a Supreme Court justice.

National Football League fans can only hope that history repeated itself on Monday, when U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson granted a request from players for a preliminary injunction to end the lockout owners imposed on March 12. Indeed, some NFL players started trickling into team facilities Tuesday for offseason workouts. Most were turned away as the league tried to sort out the issue.

A word of caution for encouraged fans and players: Just as football and baseball are fundamentally different sports, Sotomayor’s and Nelson’s rulings may have different outcomes. Outmaneuvered in court and unable to begin the 1995 season with replacement players, baseball’s owners had no choice but to welcome players back. A new CBA was eventually agreed upon, and somehow, after seven work stoppages in the previous 23 years, baseball has enjoyed peace since.

Football is not likely to see such a quick and decisive outcome to its first labor battle in

S

24 years. Owners have already asked Nelson for a stay of her injunction to keep the lockout in place. Even if she does refuse, the NFL is certain to challenge the decision in a federal appeals court in St. Louis.

And given that Nelson’s court in St. Paul, Minn., has historically sided with the players, NFL lawyers would welcome presenting their case to an appellate court, often known to be more conservative in rulings. Should the NFL prevail on appeal, fortunes for an uninterrupted season start to look gloomy. The two sides have met more than a dozen times over the last year, including with federal mediation, and reported little progress.

The league believes that Nelson has no authority to intercede in a collective bargaining dispute covered under federal labor law, and it also has accused the now-decertified players’ union of unfair bargaining in a grievance pending with the National Labor Relations Board. Instead, Nelson ruled the lockout is inflicting irreparable harm on players.

Only the most bitter of partisans cannot see the futility of the lockout. The NFL enjoys undying loyalty as the nation's most popular sport. It generates in excess of $9 billion in revenues yearly while the last two Super Bowls were the most-watched programs in TV history. Sound like a business in need of restructuring?

At the least, Nelson’s ruling should give players leverage if negotiations resume as scheduled May 16. Anything to end this nonsense as soon as possible.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Keep yard debris off the streets Why do Salisbury homeowners allow professional yard companies to blow all their yard trash into the streets — or even do it themselves?

Nothing looks worse than to drive by a nice looking house and see all the yard clippings lying out in the street. They will eventually end up in the storm drain ando cause more pollution problems in our streams.

Homeowners pay good money for these services and should demand the workers either bag the clippings or mulch them.

There is a city ordinance against this, and it looks like it needs to be enforced.

Have some pride and clean up your mess.

From flipping burgers to cleaning mowers Now that it’s spring and we’re doing more things outside, it’s time to pull out the warm-weather equipment.

While you’re doing that, be on the lookout for items you never thought you could use again, taking a cue from our great first reader tip: • Lawn mower cleanup.

I recently MARY made an aweHUNT some discovery while trying to get rid of all the grass that accumulates on the underbelly of my lawn mower. I found an old longhandled spatula that I once used when barbecuing. It is the perfect width, and the long handle makes it easy to scrape under the mower.

— Pattie,

penter ants, so I read the labels from the ant traps at the store and found that the active ingredient in many of them is borax. I mixed up honey with borax to make a paste, and then I spread it around where the carpenter ants were active. Within a few weeks, the ants were gone. I don’t know how effective this would be with other ants, but it worked great on carpenter ants. Definitely keep this away from children and pets.

DUMPED FROM 1a of garbage service to three days and from three trash collectors to two.

But Bumgarner and Smith don’t plan on laying off anyone.

One trash collector has been on the job for 31 years.

When he retires, the town would not fill the position, they said.

Curbside collection would prevent employees from coming into contact with dogs and other hazards, including needles, as they pull bags from metal cans, Bumgarner said.

The town’s garbage truck already has a hydraulic lift.

The truck would no longer maneuver through alleys, so the town would save on maintenance costs for both the truck and alleyways, Bumgarner said.

“There are so many pros, I can’t believe the town hasn’t went to it already,” he said. “They’ve talked about it 100 times in the past 30 years.”

Between 10 percent and 15 percent of residents already roll an approved cart to the curb because they don’t want people in their backyard.

“It’s a privacy issue for some people,” Bumgarner said.

Under the current proposal, the town would buy 1,200 industrial-grade carts for $52 each. The town would charge residents $3 per month on their water bill for 18 months to cover the cost.

Residents who already have an approved cart or want to buy their own would be reimbursed. People who leave carts at the curb after 24 hours would face a fine.

While details are still under discussion, Bumgarner said he will ease the transition to curbside.

“We will knock on every door in town and make sure everyone understands,” he said.

He even offered to personally roll back the cart for a resident who complained Tuesday that she and her husband are often away from

Spencer aldermen cut their own salaries by 40 percent and nearly cut them entirely in the face of a large budget deficit.

Alderman Delaine Fowler suggested cutting the salaries of elected officials by 40 percent. With support from Alderman Jeff Morris and Mayor Jody Everhart, the motion passed 3-2.

Mayor Pro Tem Scott Benfield and Alderman Reid Walters voted no.

Walters said the aldermen should eliminate their salaries completely, but only Fowler supported the idea.

Alderman David Smith did not attend the budget workshop.

With the 40 percent cut, next year aldermen will earn $1,200 and the mayor will earn $2,400.

home and don’t want to incur a fine.

“We want to provide the service you need at a cost the town can afford,” Bumgarner told her.

Backyard pickup costs about $230,979 a year. Bumgarner’s rough estimate for curbside service — $188,308 — would save about $42,000.

Residents pay $15 per month for garbage, leaf and limb pickup. The town heavily subsidizes the program, he said.

Even with curbside pickup, $15 a month won’t cover the cost, he said.

To balance the budget, the town may have to dip into its $1.5 million fund balance next year. After that, officials hope new fees and service cuts will close the budget gap.

Aldermen are weighing every option to save taxpayers money and maintain a strong fund balance, Alderman Reid Walters said.

Curbside collection will save hundreds of thousands of dollars within the first few years, he said.

“Honestly, I do not want to see the current service go, however fiscally and for the future stability of the town, this modification is needed,” Walters said.

James Hahn wheels garbage cans back to their residences on 3rd Street in Spencer.

Keeping garbage collection in-house will save two public utility jobs and allow the town to maintain control of the service, he said.

Aldermen cast a number of unanimous votes on costcutting measures at a cordial budget workshop last week, Alderman Jeff Morris said.

The board shares “a common concern over the need to make tough decisions during the leanest year the town has experienced in recent history,” Morris said.

Aldermen will discuss the budget again May 10 and hold a public hearing in May or June, when residents can discuss backyard garbage pickup and other town services.

Mayor Jody Everhart has rolled his garbage can to the curb for years.

“Once the people get used to it, it won’t be that bad for them,” he said.

• Charge the bulk pickup rate for any brush or limbs exceeding 4 inches diameter. Charge a fee for contractors who use town services for pickup.

• Ask Spencer Little League to pay for replacing the netting at the ballpark.

On the chopping block

Not approved but under consideration:

So far, Spencer aldermen have approved these cost-cutting measures:

• See how much the town would save by farming out Land Management Department services, including code enforcement and planning functions, to the Rowan County Planning Department.

• Explore curbside garbage pickup service with three stipulations: 1. Town would purchase roll-out containers and add $3 per month to residents’ water bills for up to 18 months. Residents who already have an approved container and those who want to buy their own will be reimbursed the $3 monthly fee.

2. Residents with a handicap parking permit or other evidence of disability would be exempt from the roll-out requirement.

3. Residents who don’t roll their carts back within 24 hours of garbage pickup would face a fine.

• Cut current $2,000 annual nonprofit grant program to $0.

• Eliminate $2,700 for new concrete pad at recycling center to replace gravel pad.

• Cut anticipated 1 percent cost-of-living raises ($9,528) and 3 percent merit raises ($10,871) but retain $8,140 in one-time longevity bonuses.

• Cut elected board’s salary by 40 percent.

• Charge a fee for mulch but keep two free mulch giveaways per year.

• Create a volunteer events committee to come up with fees for usage of 8th Street Ballpark, Rowan Park picnic shelter, Library Park and gazebo to raise revenues or at least offset expenses.

• Shorten the leaf vacuum program to four months — October through Decem-

Davie Herndon’s War Eagles continue to dominate/2B

Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — No pressure, Carolina Panthers. All you’re about to do is make a decision that could immediately turn around a troubled franchise or lead it further into the abyss.

Add in never-before-seen uncertainty involving the bizarre labor dispute and you don’t have to remind the team’s brass of the pressure in holding the No. 1 pick in Thursday’s NFL draft.

“It does kind of put a face on the beginning of my career,” new coach Ron Rivera said Tuesday.

Added general manager Marty Hurney: “You know the importance of it.

Every pick is important, but the first pick definitely brings a sense of urgency.”

While signs point to the Panthers taking Auburn’s Cam Newton and Hurney spoke of the growing importance of the quarterback in today’s pass-happy NFL, he stopped short of declaring Newton the choice in a pre-draft press conference.

“I don’t think anybody turns in their (player) inactives on Friday when you have until an hour and a half before the game. That’s where we are,” Hurney said. “We have obviously done a lot of work up to this point and have ideas throughout the draft and how things might unfold. But you just never know what’s going to happen and you go up to the time to when you have to make the selection.”

Coming off a 2-14 season, with Rivera replacing John Fox and with 28 potential free agents, the Panthers

Cavs win one for Patrick North routs Bears on Senior Night

Laurens could do it all for Catawba

mlondon@salisburypost.com

SPENCER — The announcement that North Rowan senior Matt Laurens would become part of Catawba’s baseball program didn’t strike fear into the hearts of pitchers around the SAC, but there’s a chance they’ll know who Laurens is before he leaves.

Laurens is a diamondin-the-rough, a latebloomer with an abundance of physical skills and a willingness to push himself to get better. He isn’t a household name yet, but he soon could be.

Catawba isn’t sure yet if Laurens will be a leftyLAURENS hitting outfielder or a southpaw pitcher — or both.

Laurens isn’t sure yet either. He’s beginning to experience considerable success as both a hurler and a hitter, so some decisions will have to be made in the future.

“My position is something the coaches will figure out once I get there,” Laurens said. “I’ll be fine with what they decide.”

Laurens launched two home runs to right-center on Saturday and went 5-for-6 to push his batting average from .271 to .333. He drove in six runs as North won 12-10 against Central Cabarrus. He actually had as many RBIs in that game as he had his entire sophomore season, which gives you an idea how far he’s come.

Needed on a struggling varsity team (5-16) as a sophomore, Laurens batted .222 with one extra-base hit in 54 at-bats.

He was 0-3 on the mound with an ERA that looked like a shoe size.

He was better as a junior, batting .260 with 13 RBIs. His ERA was still too high — 6.68 — but he won two games and his 41 strikeouts in 362⁄3 innings demonstrated serious potential.

As a senior, besides leading the Cavaliers in homers, he’s knocked in 19 runs.

He’s also 3-1 on the mound with a 3.92 ERA and has dramatically decreased his walks from previous seasons.

“Mostly, it’s having some confidence,” Laurens said. “I feel relaxed, and when

SPENCER — Jennifer Snider sat quietly in the bleachers for N. Rowan 12 all six innings, clutchC. Central 2 ing a bouquet of 11 flowers near her heart.

Ten yellow roses — one for each of North Rowan’s seniors. One white one, for her son, Patrick, the North pitcher who was lost to cancer last July.

Patrick’s parents — Jennifer and David — were warmly saluted by fans, players and coaches prior to Tuesday’s game.

Then the Cavaliers, who are chasing a YVC championship, went out and battered Chatham Central 12-2 in their final regular-season home game.

“It was emotional for all of us seeing Patrick’s SNIDER parents back on the field,” said North assistant Jason Sparger, filling in for the first of a two-game suspension being served by head coach Aaron Rimer. “There were no dry eyes, even for the people who didn’t know Patrick. Chatham Central’s coach (Bill Slaughter) said it was one of the most moving things he’s ever seen.”

North senior Matt Laurens, who is becoming more forceful with each game, dominated again. He went 4-for-4 at the plate, all line-drive singles to center field, drove in three and pitched a complete game with eight strikeouts.

“I didn’t tell anyone, but I chose to dedicate this game to Patrick and to his family,” Laurens said. “I just went out there to play for him, and everything worked out.”

Lots of North seniors got a chance to contribute, even some that don’t play regularly. Ja- KELLY mone Kelly stole three bases as a courtesy runner, while Colton Fries made a nice catch in right field.

Magic bounces back Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — The Orlando Magic Magic 101 aren’t ready Hawks 76 for their season to end just yet.

Facing their first opening round postseason exit since 2007, the Magic blew out the Atlanta Hawks 101-76 on Tuesday night.

Jason Richardson scored 17 points and J.J. Redick added 14 off the bench to lead the Magic.

The win trims Atlanta’s series’ lead to 3-2 and keeps alive the Magic’s hopes of becoming the ninth team in NBA history to win a playoff series

after trailing 3-1. If they can win Game 6 Thursday in Atlanta, they would host a decisive Game 7 on Saturday.

Magic center Dwight Howard battled foul trouble throughout the night and had just one field goal, finishing with eight points and eight rebounds. Orlando didn’t need his offense, though, as it broke out of a series-long shooting funk with 11 3-pointers.

“We’re a good shooting team,” Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. “This is more of us than what we showed in the first four games...This isn’t an aberration. We’ve been doing this for four years. The first

SHS, Davie get wins From staff reports Salisbury 16, Lexington 6 (5 inns.)

Salisbury banged out 13 hits and took advantage of 10 walks to beat Lexington 16-6 in five innings for a CCC win on Tuesday.

Lexington was within 8-6 before the Hornets scored eight unanswered runs to triumph by the 10-run rule at Robertson Stadium.

“I think we came out and expected Lexington to lay down for us, but they didn’t,” SHS coach Scott Maddox said “It was a dogfight for the first few innings.”

The Hornets (109, 5-3) ended a fivegame losing skid.

S p e n c e r Carmichael had three hits and four RBIs, and John Knox belted a three-run homer, his first of the season. Philip CARMICHAEL Tonseth extended his hitting streak to 15 games with an RBI single in the fifth.

“We capitalized on walks with some key hits, and that’s something we haven’t been doing,” Maddox said.

Salisbury will celebrate Senior Night on Thursday when it entertains Thomasville’s Bulldogs.

• Davie County took up right where it left off after winning the Cliff Peeler Baseball Classic by belting CPC foe Reagan 12-1 on Tuesday.

Davie clinched a share of the CPC championship.

Davie (19-2, 8-1) was led by Connor Bodenhamer, who was 3-for-4, with four runs and a two-run homer.

Carson Herndon knocked in four runs, while Ryan Foster and Alex Newman each had two hits. Joe Watson had three hits and was the winning pitcher. Davie plays at BB&T Field Friday against R.J. Reynolds.

• Justin Mounts singled home the winning run in the eighth inning as East Davidson (12-7, 6-2) beat Central Davidson (12-5, 5-3) 5-4 in a key CCC matchup on Tuesday.

Taylor Warren knocked in two for the Golden Eagles, while Kolby Hunt had two RBIs for Central.

n Jayvee baseball Scott Benfield’s North Rowan jayvees won 8-6 at Chatham Central on Tuesday behind Thomas Tucker and Denzel Price.

Price had four hits, including a double and a triple. Tucker had two hits and was the winning pitcher.

Tyler Mulkey had two singles.

Expanded playoffs a good idea

BY SCOTT ADAMSON Scripps Howard News Service

Major League Baseball, unlike its major league brethren, the NFL and NBA, is enjoying relative peace when it comes to labor relations.

Owners are making money, players are making lots and lots of money, and the sport's most famous steroid users (they're alleged steroid users, of course), are off the fields and in courtrooms.

And since there's a new era of good feeling in the National Pastime, commissioner Bud Selig and company feel that it's past time to expand the playoffs.

So expand the playoffs they will, most likely beginning with the 2012 season.

Selig made the announcement last week in New York.

"I would say we're moving to expanding the playoffs, but there's a myriad of details to work out," Selig told a gathering of Associated Press Sports Editors. "Ten is a fair number."

During last November's meetings most of the 30 general managers in both the National and American leagues were hot and heavy for playoff expansion, and 10 appears to be the magic number for participants.

"The more we've talked about it, I think we're moving inexorably to that," Selig said.

Unless you're talking about the Football Bowl Subdivision -- and fortunately today, we're not -- playoffs are the be-all, end-all of sports.

The regular season is fine, but it's the elimination tourney we're most interested in. So the fact that MLB wants to increase the number of teams in its postseason makes perfect sense and I have no problem with it.

What does concern me, however, is the proposed first round playoff format.

Apparently the postseason will start with either a best-of-three series or a one game, loser-goes-home playoff.

SPORTS DIGEST

Harrow leaving N.C. State

MAGIC FROM 1B four games were the aberration.”

Josh Smith scored 22 points to lead Atlanta, which shot below 40 percent for just the second time this series.

The Magic cruised in the second half, allowing Howard to log his first extended rest of the series in the fourth quarter as their lead crept above 30 points.

In a short turnaround following his team’s loss in Game 4, Van Gundy preached patience over panic to his team.

It paid off in a big way as Orlando was unselfish in its half court sets and passed the ball to free up its shooters.

That allowed the Magic to push the pace and keep the game up tempo. The Hawks have won every game with the Magic this season in which it kept them under 90 points.

For the second straight game the Magic’s bench got some production led by Redick. It also got 11 points from Ryan Anderson and nine from Gilbert Arenas, who had erupted for 20 in Game 4.

The Hawks couldn’t miss in the first four games, but were cold throughout Tuesday.

They shot a series-low 36 percent overall and 25 percent from beyond the arc.

The Magic finished at just 41 percent, but hit 42 percent of their attempts from 3.

Bulls put away Pacers Associated Press

CHICAGO — Derrick R o s e 116 scored 25 Bulls 89 p o i n t s , Pacers Luol Deng added 24 and the Chicago Bulls finally played like a top seed, knocking off the Indiana Pacers 116-89 in Game 5 to wrap up their first-round playoff series Tuesday night.

The top-seeded Bulls can breathe a little easier after getting a dominant performance by their MVP candidate and an emphatic win that came on the heels of four dramatic games.

They can also turn their attention to the Eastern Conference semifinals, where they’ll meet Atlanta or Orlando.

Rose seemed just fine after spraining his left ankle in Game 4, hitting 8 of 17 shots. He dominated in the early going and came up big in the third after the Pacers pulled within four. He scored 10 points over the final six minutes, and Chicago ended the quarter on a 23-8 run to blow the game open.

The Bulls hit 14 of 31 3pointers, including five by Keith Bogans (15 points) and three each by Deng and Rose.

Flyers advance to Eastern semifinals Associated Press

The NHL playoff roundup ...

PHILADELPHIA — Brian Boucher stopped 25 shots and the Philadelphia Flyers advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals with a 5-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres in Game 7 of their first-round series on Tuesday night.

The defending conference champions, who raced to a 4-0 lead and chased Buffalo goalie Ryan Miller in the third, must wait to learn their next opponent: Boston, Pittsburgh or Tampa Bay. The game was a switch from the rest of the series where the Flyers had trouble in the net. They started three goalies in seven games. Boucher won Games 2 and 6 in re-

lief, but was stout for all 60 minutes in the series clincher.

Braydon Coburn, Danny Briere, James van Riemsdyk, and Ville Leino all scored against Miller, and Dan Carcillo added a goal in the third.

Canadiens 2, Bruins 1 MONTREAL — Brian Gionta and Michael Cammalleri scored during two separate twoman advantages to help Montreal force a decisive Game 7 in the first-round playoff series.

Game 7 is Wednesday in Boston, with the Bruins looking to beat the Canadiens for only the ninth time in 33 postseason series.

Dennis Seidenberg scored for Boston, which played more than half the game without ejected winger Milan Lucic but still outshot the Canadiens 32-27.

RALEIGH — Point guard Ryan Harrow is transferring after one season at North Carolina State.

The school said Tuesday that Harrow and new coach Mark Gottfried came to a mutual decision that the guard will transfer to another program.

In a statement issued by the school, Gottfried said he would release Harrow to any school except any of the Wolfpack’s fellow Atlantic Coast Conference members, and says he and his staff “will do anything we can to assist him in this process.”

The move leaves the Wolfpack’s roster without a true point guard with experience at the position, though shooting guard Lorenzo Brown did play some at the point last season under Sidney Lowe and wound up leading the team with 112 assists.

Javier Gonzalez, who was N.C. State’s starter at point guard last season, graduated after making 21 starts.

Harrow made 10 starts during his freshman season while playing in 29 games and ranking seventh in the ACC with an assistto-turnover ratio of 1.9. He also averaged 9.3 points and was a 87 percent free-throw shooter.

When Gottfried was named the Wolfpack’s coach earlier this month, Harrow was noncommittal about his future plans.

If he transfers to another Division I school, he must sit out one season and will have three years of eligibility after that.

“The year off will help me improve in many ways and I think the decision is the best for me personally,” Harrow said in the statement.

• LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Rick Pitino didn't look far to revamp his coaching staff.

The Louisville coach rehired son Richard Pitino on Tuesday, two years after Richard left to join Billy Donovan's staff at Florida.

• INDIANAPOLIS — College basketball attendance across the three divisions has decreased slightly to 32.8 million.

The NCAA announced Tuesday that it still ranks No. 5 all-time.

Division I schools drew 27.6 million fans, an increase of more than 86,000 over the previous season.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida coach Will Muschamp sent a strong message to his team Tuesday by dismissing star cornerback Janoris Jenkins.

Jenkins was kicked off the team after his third arrest in less than two years, his second in the past four months.

Muschamp's decision makes it clear he won't tolerate the off-the-field issues that plagued the Gators during former coach Urban Meyer's tenure. The Gators had 30

NFL players struggle through lockout limbo “What’s up with that? Let me get back to what I do best.”

That could take a while. The 2011 season, and the business between 32 teams and their thousands of anxious players, is in a holding pattern. With more court fights and appeals expected, the NFL said it needed “a few days to sort this out” and provide some rules for everyone to follow.

“We are in the process of determining throughout the league as to just how we’ll proceed and when we’ll open the new year across the league,

the new football year,” Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. “We have not done that.”

At least the draft will be held this week, even if free agency and personnel swaps are up in the air.

In one of the oddest days in NFL history, players showed up at their team headquarters and most were told that they were welcome to come inside as long as they didn’t participate in any sort of “football activities.”

Most left in a matter of minutes with more questions

than answers about where the $9 billion business is headed.

And there was no consistency — some teams allowed players to work out (Giants) while others turned them away altogether (Bills).

No rules, not yet. Just uncertainty.

In a question-and-answer memo distributed by the NFLPA, free agents were told they can contact teams and shop their services, putting pressure on the NFL to set up a free agency system that complies with antitrust laws.

Those are the kind of questions that have kept Hurney up at night.

PANTHERS

NFL WASHINGTON — Washington Redskins defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth was charged Tuesday with misdemeanor sexual abuse for allegedly fondling the breast of his server in a hotel restaurant in Washington.

A grand jury returned an indictment formally charging Haynesworth over the alleged incident at a downtown Washington hotel in the early hours of Feb. 13. If convicted, the 29-year-old two-time All-Pro faces up to six months days in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.

The government's evidence shows Haynesworth slid a credit card down the front of the server's dress and fondled her breast.

GOLF HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — Without a title sponsor, the Heritage is on the clock.

Sunday's final round — Brandt Snedeker happily slipped on his plaid champions coat and held the Heritage trophy high as fans around the 18th green applauded one of Harbour Towns Golf Links' most thrilling finishes — could have been the tournament's last hoorah.

The PGA Tour fixture since 1969 is without a title sponsor and desperately seeking the $8 million or so it would take to underwrite the tournament.

TENNIS Maybe Patrick McEnroe and Donald Young can work this thing out at a Cee Lo concert.

One of America's most respected names in tennis and one of its top young hopefuls are using the media — social and traditional — in a war of words that began with Young's expletive-laden rip on the USTA via Twitter over what he perceived as a snub in the handing out of a wild-card spot for the French Open.

The dispute picked up again Monday, when McEnroe held a conference call with reporters in which he demanded an apology and all but called Young an ingrate with an overbearing family.

Young's tweet came out after he lost last Friday in the final of a tournament that determined who would receive the USTA's wild-card entry into the French Open. It channeled the hit Cee Lo song — the scrubbed-up version of which is called "Forget You" on most family radio stations.

optic delivery system vaporizes and removes enlarged tissue in the prostate, resulting in immediate relief of symptoms. Urinary flow will improve, and a person will be able to empty the bladder with ease. This is a vast improvement over the “gold standard” trans-urethral resection procedure (TURP) with fewer side effects and faster recovery. Total recovery should take a few weeks following surgery. With GreenLight, a patient will arrive at a hospital, have the procedure, which takes less than an hour, and be discharged the same day. It is rather common to return home without catheter insertion. In instances when a catheter is inserted, it is removed within 24 hours.

As General Electric once used in their advertising, “Progress is our most important product.” This certainly appears to be the case with GreenLight. Research is a phenomenal thing. If a procedure can be done in less time, with less bleeding, less trauma for the patient and faster recovery, I’m all for it. And, at 93, I am sure that your father would agree.

Dear Dr. Gott: I am a 74year-old female retired radiologic technologist due for my annual screening mammogram in another month.

My only significant breast history is the presence of a tiny cyst diagnosed on one side two years ago. Last year, my screening mammogram was normal.

Which is better/more accurate for me to have — the digital mammogram or the longused film-screen mammogram, and why? An assumption is made here that either study is performed and interpreted in the most skilled manner utilizing top-of-theline equipment.

Dear Reader: Both methods use X-rays to produce images of the breast. With conventional mammography, information is stored on film that resembles a photograph negative. In the case of digital mammography, information is stored as a computer file.

Now, the difference. While numerous “films” may be taken, they cannot be modified.

With digitals, that information can be magnified, enhanced or manipulated for evaluation more easily than the information on a film.

Through computers, digital images can assist surgeons and radiologists who may be in different locations; fewer follow-up procedures may be necessary for confirmation of suspicious lesions; and there is less radiation exposure.

The FDA approved digital mammography in 2000.

A large clinical trial comparing digital to film mammography was published and failed to reveal differences in the detection of breast cancer in the women who participated.

One interesting conclusion was that digital mammography was more accurate for pre- and perimenopausal women and for women with dense breasts.

Rocker Vince Neil finishes Vegas drunken driving requirements LAS VEGAS (AP) — Motley Crue singer Vince Neil has completed requirements of his Las Vegas drunken driving sentence.

Court officials and Neil’s lawyer, David Chesnoff, say a Las Vegas judge declared the DUI case closed Tues-

day. The 50-year-old rocker didn’t appear at the hearing in person.

Neil served 10 days of a 15-day jail sentence in February, another 15 days of house arrest, paid a fine and completed drunk driving and victim impact counsel-

ing.

Court spokeswoman Mary Ann Price says Neil also made a $500 donation to Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

Neil pleaded guilty in January to driving drunk in his Lamborghini last sum-

mer near the Las Vegas Strip.

He faces arraignment Monday on separate misdemeanor battery and disorderly conduct charges after a casino showroom confrontation with an ex-girlfriend on March 24.

If Shakespeare had been a bridge player, surely he would have written, “An entry! an entry! my kingdom for an entry!”

Conserving entries is one of the topics covered fairly early in a bridge career. But less experienced players are sometimes careless because they play too quickly — as happened in this deal from a private game of Chicago.

If you were South, how would you plan the play in three no-trump after West leads a fourth-highest heart five and East plays the seven?

The auction was straightforward, North raising to game in the hope that his club suit would prove useful.

You have five top tricks: one spade, two hearts (given the lead) and two diamonds.

Clearly you must make the most of dummy’s clubs.

Suppose you win the first trick with the heart nine, lead the club king (under which West drops the two, his lowest showing an odd number of cards in the suit), and play another club. East will win with his ace and probably shift to

the diamond queen. After taking that trick, how can you get into the dummy?

You can’t! Let’s go back to trick one. Your only dummy entry is in hearts, but you must keep two hearts lower than dummy’s jack. Win the first trick with your queen (or ace!).

Then, knock out the club ace, get in with the diamond ace, and lead a low heart toward the dummy. West will win with his king and play another diamond, but you take the trick, cross to dummy with a heart to the jack, and cash the clubs to end with an overtrick.

Dear Dr. Gott: My father is 93 years old. Owing to an enlarged prostate, he is not able to completely empty his bladder. He is feeling no pain and minimal discomfort from this condition. In fact, he feels it is more of a nuisance having to urinate frequently.

His urologist recommends GreenLight laser surgery to relieve the problem. He has been told that DR. PETER this condition, if left untreatGOTT ed, could lead to kidney problems and/or a blood infection. He is fearful that the surgery could lead to incontinence. This thought distresses him greatly. What is your opinion of this option for treating his problem? Are there other options he could consider?

Dear Reader: GreenLight vaporization of the prostate is a new, minimally invasive procedure used for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the most common cause of an enlarged prostate.

works at the school, and Laurens is very familiar with assistant coach Michael Lowman and head coach Jim Gantt.

“I go back to the eighth grade and Junior Legion with Lowman, and I got to play with Rowan County some, so I know Coach Gantt,” said Laurens, who also has played lots of showcase ball with the Huntersville-based Copperheads.

Gantt and Lowman saw the strides Laurens was making last fall, and the Indians decided they wanted him.

“I did do pretty well in the fall,” Laurens modestly admitted.

Catawba may have landed another Rimer, but only time will tell about that.

“He’s a left-handed stick, and everybody needs those,” Rimer said. “Matt’s already pretty good, but I can see him developing into something really special. He has a chance to be one heck of a player.”

LAURENS FROM 1B I’m hitting, I’m seeing the ball better.”

All his stats are moving in the right direction, and North coach Aaron Rimer is glad to see Laurens moving in the direction of Catawba.

Rimer, who finished up with the Indians in 2006, hit 25 homers and drove in 106 runs his last two years at Newman RIMER Park. He was a productive left-handed bat on a mostly right-handed team.

Catawba actually had four ex-North players in that era, with Jimbo Davis, Bubba Morris and Kevin McMillan joining Rimer. All were key players.

“I’ll always be happy to see one of our good ones go

MATT LAURENS to Catawba,” Rimer said. “To be honest, Matt’s got some tools that I never had. He’s off the charts as far as athletic ability. Pitcher or outfielder, I don’t know, but he could be either. You can’t teach height (Laurens is a good 6-foot-2), you can’t teach speed, and you can’t teach arm strength, and Matt’s got all three.”

Laurens has a comfort zone at Catawba. His father

FROM 1B Snider,” said senior shortstop Dakota Brown. “It was a real boost seeing his parents here tonight. It meant a lot to us.”

Laurens had the game’s key at-bat in the bottom of the first. North had loaded the bases with none out on two walks and a shaky defensive play, but Chatham Central’s freshman pitcher Zack Burke, who has a nice curveball, struck out Matt Mauldin and Alex Morgan back-to-back.

That left it up to Laurens, and he came through with a two-run bullet that nearly decapitated Burke.

“Matt’s on fire right now,” Sparger said. “He was a oneman show tonight.”

Laurens (4-1), a southpaw headed to Catawba, was in charge on the mound. All three Chatham Central hits were infield singles.

“He got ahead of their hitters and stayed ahead,” Sparger said. “All year, we’ve been walking too many guys, but Matt got a lot of quick outs and kept his pitch-count low.”

Laurens threatened to shut

run down by North senior Mason Jennings.

North put five straight hits together for a threerun fifth that FEEZOR broke it open.

J a k e Smith hustled a popup down the left-field line into a double, and senior Hunter Feezor’s screaming RBI double into the left-field corner scored him. Jennings singled sharply for another run, and Brown, another senior, followed with a booming triple.

“We did what we’ve done all year,” Slaughter said. “We gave North extra outs, and they took advantage. There were three times where our pitcher should’ve been out of the inning, but they’re still hitting.”

North (17-5, 13-2) finished off the Bears in the sixth with three more runs. Smith’s single through the right side scored Kelly to end it.

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER Severe weather will continue to present a problem for the nation on Wednesday as a large spring storm system moves eastward. The threat of severe weather will shift east with the storm, the western Appalachians will see the greatest threat for severe weather. Similar to the last few days, tornadoes, large hail and strong wind gusts are all anticipated. While the overall threat of severe weather will be somewhat less than Tuesday, more populated areas could be affected on Wednesday. East of the Appalachians, strong thunderstorms are also anticipated, although most of these storms will not contain damaging wind hail or tornadoes. In the West, high pressure will continue to build along the coast bringing windy conditions, but clear skies from southern California to southern Washington.

Northern portions of the coastline will see some fog, drizzle and possibly rain as a weak Pacific storm rides up and over the western ridge. In the Intramountain West, clear skies and warm temperatures are anticipated giving way to some clouds int the Rockies then showers and thunderstorms on the eastern slope of the mountains and in the high Plains.

Shortstop on paternity leave

Associated Press

NEW YORK — Late substitute Brent Lillibridge made two spectacular catches in a row to save the White Sox in the ninth inning, and Gavin Floyd pitched Chicago to a 3-2 victory Tuesday night over the suddenly slumping New York Yankees.

Lillibridge entered as a pinch-runner in the eighth and scored on Paul Konerko’s goahead homer off struggling setup man Rafael Soriano (1-1).

Lillibridge stayed in the game in right field and, with two on in the ninth, raced back to the wall to make a terrific catch of Alex Rodriguez’s opposite-field drive for the second out, robbing the slugger of a game-tying hit and keeping the runners at first and second.

Robinson Cano then hit a line drive to right and Lillibridge charged in, making an all-out dive to snag the ball for the final out.

Sergio Santos got two outs — thanks to Lillibridge — for his second straight save and Chicago’s third in nine chances this season.

Floyd (3-1) took a three-hitter into the ninth but was pulled after Derek Jeter led off with an infield single.

Mariners 7, Tigers 3 DETROIT — Miguel Olivo hit a blooper-reel home run and Felix Hernandez extended his dominance of the Tigers.

Hernandez (3-2) beat the Tigers for the seventh straight time, allowing three runs — two earned — on four hits in six innings.

Olivo hit a routine-looking fly to deep left but Ryan Raburn struggled to find it in the sun.

While still short of the warning track, Raburn lunged back, only to deflect the ball high into the air and into the Tigers’ bullpen for Olivo’s first homer of the season.

Orioles 4, Red Sox 1 BALTIMORE — Rookie Zach Britton allowed one run in six innings to earn his fourth win, Derrek Lee had two hits and scored twice, and the Orioles ended Boston’s five-game winning streak.

Adam Jones drove in two runs for the Orioles, who won for only the third time in 14 games, and Vladimir Guerrero had his first three-hit game since coming to Baltimore as a free agent during the offseason.

Britton (4-1) became the first rookie starter in franchise history to win four games in April.

Indians 9, Royals 4 CLEVELAND — Justin Masterson won his fifth straight start, a stunning personal turnaround from last season, Jack Hannahan homered twice and Shin-Soo Choo hit a three-run shot for the Indians.

Hannahan hit solo shots in the third and fifth off Luke Hochevar (2-3), and Choo connected in the seventh on reliever Louis Coleman’s first pitch to make it 7-3.

Grady Sizemore went 3-for4 and hit a two-run homer in the eighth for the Indians, who are 14-8 for the first time since 2007.

Melky Cabrera homered and Alex Gordon extended his hitting streak to 19 games for the Royals. Kansas City has dropped four in a row.

Blue Jays 10, Rangers 3 ARLINGTON, Texas — Adam Lind homered twice and

chicago’s Juan pierre, left, congratulates right fielder Brent Lillibridge after Lillibridge made two game-saving catches. drove in five runs for Toronto in a rout of AL West-leading Texas.

Lind had an RBI single in Toronto’s five-run outburst in the first off Matt Harrison (32). Lind then homered leading off the third and hit a three-run homer the next inning for his fifth career multihomer game — his third at Rangers Ballpark.

Twins-Rays ppd.

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Twins went through a seemingly charmed first season in outdoor Target Field last year, with the kind of weather luck that is unheard of in these parts.

They may be paying for it in season No. 2.

The Twins postponed their game with the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday due to heavy rain.

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Washington Nationals have placed shortstop Ian Desmond on the paternity leave list and recalled outfielder Roger Bernadina from Triple-A Syracuse.

Desmond’s wife, Chelsey, gave birth Tuesday to the couple’s first son, Grayson Wesley Desmond.

Manager Jim Riggleman says he expects Desmond to miss two games.

Bernadina was hitting .267 with one home run and two RBIs in 13 games with Syracuse.

Riggleman also says that third baseman Ryan Zimmerman is playing some catch and doing some running. Zimmerman is on the 15-day disabled list with a strained abdominal muscle and hasn’t played since April 9.

Riggleman said Zimmerman will probably have a rehabilitation assignment before returning to the big league club. 

PHOENIX — Phillies closer Jose Contreras has a grade one strain in his right elbow and will be sidelined three to four weeks. General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. says the extent of the injury of the 39-year-old right-hander was discovered in an MRI in Philadelphia on Tuesday. Contreras, who did not give up a run in eight appearances, is expected to begin rehab work in seven to 10 days.

Thole keeps Mets’ winning streak alive Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Josh Thole had three RBIs, including a two-run double that put the Mets ahead run in the sixth inning, and New York ran its winning streak to five games Tuesday night with a 6-4 win over the Washington Nationals.

Thole's double to the corner was just beyond the reach of left fielder Michael Morse and brought home Jason Bay and Ike Davis, breaking a 3-3 tie.

The hit came off lefty Doug Slaten, who entered to face Thole.

Ryota Igarashi (1-0) struck out Jayson Werth to end the fifth inning. Starter Chris

Young lasted 4 2-3 innings, allowing three runs and four hits in his first start since returning from the disabled list with tendinitis in his right biceps.

Rockies 4, Cubs 3 CHICAGO — Todd Helton hit two home runs and Colorado beat Chicago.

Jorge De La Rosa (4-0) allowed one earned run in seven innings and Huston Street gave up a solo homer to Alfonso Soriano leading off the ninth before closing out the Cubs for his ninth straight save to start the season.

It was the 27th career multihomer game for Helton and his first since Aug. 7, 2007. against Milwaukee.

Giants 3, Pirates 2, 10 innings PITTSBURGH — Darren Ford scored on a fielder's choice in the 10th inning, helping the San Francisco Giants snap a season-high four-game losing streak with a 3-2 win.

The Giants scored all their runs on plays that did not involve a hit.

Brewers 3, Reds 2 MILWAUKEE — Rickie Weeks, Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder all hit solo homers and Milwaukee beat Cincinnati for the first time this season.

Milwaukee had been 0-4 against the Reds this year and losers of 19 of 22 against them before Weeks homered off re-

liever Logan Ondrusek (2-2) to lead off the eighth.

Marlins 4, Dodgers 2 MIAMI — Mike Stanton drove in two runs, Chris Volstad pitched seven innings, and Florida beat Los Angeles.

Andre Ethier set a major league record for the longest April hitting streak with an RBI double that gave him a hit in 23 straight games.

Gaby Sanchez homered and Hanley Ramirez added a pair of hits and scored two runs for the Marlins.

Astros 6, Cardinals 5 HOUSTON — Bill Hall's ninth-inning RBI single gave the Houston Astros a win over the St. Louis Cardinals.
