Despite crowded ballots for sheriff and county commissioner, voters aren’t expected to crowd the polls Tuesday. Nearly three weeks of early voting has drawn scant turnout: Out of nearly 90,000 registered voters in Rowan County, a little more than 2,000 cast ballots before early voting ended Saturday. Nancy Evens, elections director, had hoped early on that Tuesday’s primary would have 25 percent turnout. But the slow pace of one-stop voting has prompted her to lower her forecast. Evans said she doesn’t expect a 20 percent turnout — fewer than 18,000 voters. Republicans who have more choices are likely to come closer to a 20 percent turnout, with Democratic participation lower. The county has 89,800 registered voters, including 32,799 Democrats, 36,928 Republicans, and 20,103 unaffiliated voters. “My crystal ball is about wore out,” Evans said, referring to the difficulty of predicting turnout. She noted that in previous primary elections over the past 20 years, turnout has ranged from 34 percent in 1986 to a low of 13 percent in 1998. Rowan Commissioner Chad Mitchell, the current county officeholder with the most successful experience in elections, agrees with Evans that the voting public will likely stay home in droves Tuesday. Unless somebody or some race catches fire by Tuesday,
Mitchell is convinced, voter turnout will be 20 percent or lower. Mitchell, who has been through nine elections, calls the current situation “an interesting phenomenon.” He said national political issues — the economy, the continuing high unemployment rate and the anti-incumbency feeling toward Congress — are dominating the local landscape. “All politics is local,” Mitchell said. In this case, he added, the national debate on issues and the struggle within the Republican Party between conservatives and moderates are dominating. Local candidates are having difficulty gaining traction, and getting the attention of voters.. “You would think with the number of people running for sheriff and county commissioner, turnout would be 50 or 60 percent,” Mitchell said. But there is no chance of hitting those numbers, he quickly added. Here are some things to remember on primary day: • On Tuesday, polls open at 6:30 a.m. and close at 7:30 p.m. • Rowan-Salisbury Schools will be in session for a makeup day, but areas of parking will be designated for voters. • Salisbury West Ward I voters, who usually vote in the Hurley Room at the Rowan Public Library on Fisher Street, will still cast ballots at the library but in another area that has been used for early voting. • In the event of a runoff and second primary in any race, voting will be on June 22.
Health care bill’s effects on charity programs uncertain BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
Three days after Heather Stout’s 30th birthday in 2008, she was diagnosed with an enlarged heart. In late 2009, she had a heart attack. After doctors said she was having congestive heart failure, she received a pacemaker. When Stout checked into Rowan Regional Medical Center in March doctors informed her she needed a heart transplant. She wondered how she pay for it. “I told the doctor, ‘I can’t pay for this,’ and he told me not to worry: ‘Money is not an issue,’ ” Stout said. Stout, of China Grove, had been waiting on her Medicaid and disability benefits to begin, but they had not by the time she had surgery. The hospital staff told Stout all of her expenses and any medications after the surgery would be taken care of by the hospital. “I felt like they were trying to help me,” Stout said. The hospital’s charity care filled in with financial assis-

tance that is designed so that patients can receive treatment without the expectation of payment. Those who do not have adequate health insurance can receive help from hospitals through financial assistance, charity care or uncompensated care programs. The federal health care bill that was recently signed into law is aimed at providing insurance to more than 32 million people, who in the past had not been covered. It also is to allow some others to become eligible for Medicaid. That is supposed to mean as more people become insured, fewer people will need charity care or financial assistance. But it’s not so, hospital officials say. “We are not planning to change our financial assistance programs. They are excellent programs and people rely on them,” said Jim Tobalski, senior vice president of Novant Health and Rowan Regional Medical Center. Stout, now 33, relied on financial assistance. She was of the belief that hospitals don’t

Health care reform was touted for its goal of making health care more affordable, but it also aims to improve the quality of care. The law includes initiatives that will provide billions to health care facilities to expand services and implement new programs and requirements to ensure they work toward better care for their communities. Among its provisions, the law will require nonprofit hospitals to conduct community health needs assessments, said Jim Tobalski, senior vice president of Novant Health and Rowan Regional Medical Center. These assessments, which are to begin after 2012, will have to be done every three to five years, Tobalski said. The assessment must be made available to the public and must include input from people in the community and public health experts. “There’s a lot of hospitals that don’t conduct a formal assessment,” he said. Hospitals must also implement a master plan to meet the needs identified in the assessment. The law also includes incentives for pro-

viding better health care. For instance, hospitals with higher rates of patients returning with infections after procedures will receive less money from Medicare. Hospitals with lower rates of infection will get more funding. That part of the law takes effect in October 2012 “It’s a pay for performance. This is a way that says this nation needs to start putting more value on high-quality health care,” Tobalski said. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports about 99,000 people die each year from infections associated with health care. Hospitals currently get paid more under Medicare if they report how well they follow practices that improve the quality of a patient’s care. “You also have to publish what your programs entail,” Tobalski said. The law will also require hospitals to be more transparent in providing information to the public about their financial assistance programs. Rowan Regional already has comprehensive financial assistance information available online for the public.

Board to consider budget changes Staff report
JON C. LAKEY / SALISBURY POST
Joseph Judge conducts the practice of the 2010 Salisbury-Rowan School System All County Chorus at North Rowan High School on Thursday. Nearly 90 students participated in the performance, which included the songs ‘Wana Baraka,’ ‘Sing Unto God’ and ‘The Road Not Taken.’
Voices unite Rowan-Salisbury high school students combine for choral performance
The Rowan County Board of Commissioners will consider a number of budget amendments and appointments to several boards during its meeting Monday. The meeting starts at 4 p.m. on the second floor of the county administration building, 130 W. Innes St. Among the highlights of a light agenda Monday, commissioners will consider a $263,230 budget amendment that would close out a capital project fund created after voters approved school construction bonds in 2002. All projects have been completed and the money, which comes from sales tax revenues and interest associated with the account, would be transferred to the county ‘s general fund. The board will also consider appropriating $345,000 from the county ‘s fund balance to cover estimated workers ‘ compensation claims in excess of the current budgeted amount. Smaller budget amendments deal with using $3,000 in Senior Games donations to cover expenses; increasing the Medicaid budget that provides transportation for relatives by $16,000, half of which is paid by the federal government; and increasing the Social Services adoption fund to include $79,500 the county has received in incentives for its children ‘s adoption program. Commissioners will consider appointing fire commissioners for the Franklin Volunteer Fire Department and members to the Nursing Home Advisory Committee, China Grove Planning Board and Rowan Transit System Advisory Committee. The board will hear public comment.
Staff report
Nearly 90 voices combined for one purpose Thursday — to fill the halls of North Rowan High School with music. Vocalists from five Rowan County high schools sang in the 2010 Rowan-Salisbury School System All County Chorus.

As a soloist, Judge has appeared with the Charlotte Symphony, the Charlotte Philharmonic, the Boulder Philharmonic, the Colorado Music Festival Orchestra and the Union Symphony. He has performed baritone solos in works such as “Messiah” and the Requiem Masses by Faure and Brahms. As a young singer, Judge performed with the Opera Carolina Opera Chorus for six seasons and had roles in “Madame Butterfly” and “La Traviata.” He has conducted major choral works with orchestra, operas and musicals. Judge received a bachelor ‘s degree in music from Pfeiffer University and a master ‘s degree in music from the University of Colorado at Boulder.

The Blanche and Julian Robertson Sr. family was honored with the Wilson L. Smith Philanthropic Award during Rowan Regional Medical Center Foundation’s Annual Donor Appreciation and Recognition Dinner held on April 12. Daughters Blanche Robertson Bacon and Wyndham Robertson and son, Julian H. Robertson Jr. were on hand to receive the award. The Blanche and Julian Robertson Family Foundation was also recognized. The prestigious award honored the Robertson family’s philanthropy and special service to the Rowan/Salisbury community and especially to Rowan Regional Medical Center. The late Julian Robertson Sr. was, for many years, a key member of the hospital’s board of trustees and the late Blanche Robertson was very involved with the hospital auxiliary. After a video tribute to the Robertsons’ commitment to growing and nurturing key organizations and institutions in Salisbury and Rowan, Jim Whitton, longtime family friend, introduced the Robertson children and regaled the audience with stories of first meetings, engagement parties, Boyden High School and golf. The audience erupted with laughter as he remembered that of the three children, Julian Jr. was the one everyone thought was least likely to succeed. During remarks accepting the award on behalf of the family, Julian H. Robertson Jr. said, “Salisbury has meant a lot to my sisters and me. “If I were president of United States, I think I would insist that every child be brought up in a small town like Salisbury. It was fabulous!” Robertson also acknowledged Rowan Regional Medical Center: “This hospital meant a lot to my parents, too. They loved the doctors there. Both of them died there.

Professor develops writing contest BY SUSAN SHINN Catawba College News Service
Here ‘s an easy math problem for you: What do you get when you add one Catawba College professor with seven eager academically gifted fifthgraders? Answer: A lot of good writing. In mid-March, Dr. Paul Baker, mathematics professor at Catawba, attended a Meet the Author event for Donna Rymer ‘93, who teaches AIG students at Bostian Elementary School. Rymer received her master ‘s from Catawba in 1999. Baker, the author of six books, was so impressed by the students that he developed a writing contest for students who wanted to participate. Seven of Rymer ‘s students took him up on the offer.

Should you desire to contact me for any reason, please feel free to call any of the listed phone numbers, or email me at the listed email address.

LESS GOVERNMENT is the first step towards more prosperous times for our County, our State, and our Country. For every job created by our government, multiple numbers of real jobs must be taxed to pay the salary and benefits for that job. Government produces no product; therefore, government produces no profit with which to pay for government jobs. Our government, on every level, needs to redefine its role and responsibility towards the people it is supposed to represent. Government should tax its people to provide only the basic core functions. President Gerald Ford said:“A government that can do everything for you, can take everything from you.”
Less Taxes

LESS TAXES, on both the business and the private sector, will do more to stimulate growth and prosperity in our Country than any amount of money taken from the taxpayers and redistributed.The taxpayers, who actually work for their money, should be allowed to decide how their money is to be spent. Just and fair taxes for everyone are not a burden; however, unjust and unfair taxes are the greatest burden and deterrent to economic growth in our Country today. President Ronald Reagan said:“It is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.” He also said:“Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets.”The only special interest group that should be recognized when it comes to taxes is the individual taxpayer who pays those taxes.
If you live and die and never know JESUS, you will have missed it all! John 3:16
Less Control
LESS CONTROL by the government in the everyday lives of the citizens and taxpayers of this great Country will automatically result in a better and more productive society.Abusive use of forced annexation, eminent domain, and land-use planning by those who do not own the land are just a few of the areas we need less government control. Private citizens who buy the land and pay the taxes on it should have the right to decide where they live, what services they want or need from the government, and how they use their land. President Ronald Reagan said:“Man is not free unless government is limited.” He also said: “Government’s first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.”
If I am elected, I will always place the needs of the citizens of Rowan County before the wants of any special interest groups. I will work tirelessly to safeguard the freedoms you enjoy as a citizen of Rowan County and the United States of America. PAID FOR BY JIM SIDES FOR ROWAN COUNTY COMMISSIONER

Pfeiffer graduation set for Saturday Pfeiffer University will celebrate its annual spring commencement at 10:30 a.m. Saturday in the Merner Gymnasium on the Misenheimer campus. Degrees will be conferred upon approximately 130 stuHILL dents. Robert Hill Jr., president and CEO of Acosta Inc. in Jacksonville, Fla., will deliver the commencement address. Doors will open at 9 a.m. Pfeiffer will host its annual baccalaureate service at 6 p.m. Friday in the Henry Pfeiffer Chapel, and a reception for attendees will follow. Designated commencement parking is available for individuals with physical disabilities. For more information,
contact Dr. Jim Gulledge, coordinator of academic ceremonies, at 704-463-3366 or jim.gulledge@pfeiffer.edu. Graduates will be released into the world on words from Hill, a longtime sales and marketing professional who has served in a variety of capacities at Acosta, which has more than 15,000 associates and operates throughout the U.S. and Canada. It does business with large, internationally known companies like Purina, Minute Maid, Vlasic and Hormel Foods. Hill was president of Siler Brokerage, a family business since 1927, and managed sales and marketing for numerous consumer packaged goods companies when Acosta acquired Siler in 1994. During this tenure, he has led Acosta in meeting the sales and marketing objectives for more than 1,000 consumer
packaged goods companies across North America, and the acquisition and integration of 20 agencies to increase Acosta ‘s size, scale and service offerings. He was appointed to the helm of the organization in 2009. In addition to honoring Pfeiffer graduates, two longtime, beloved former faculty members will also receive special recognition during the ceremony. Professor Emerita of Christian Education Susan Carmichael, of Asheville, will receive an Honorary Doctor of Divinity degree. She served Pfeiffer for 25 years before retiring. Professor Emeritus of Chemistry Dr. Michael Riemann, mayor of the village of Misenheimer, who retired from Pfeiffer after nearly 38 years of service, will receive an Honorary Doctor of Science degree.
Primaries buck candidate trend gressional races this year and forged the tea party movement. What ‘s even more striking, longtime state political researcher John Davis said, is that historically the number of contested races often decline at the close of each 10-year cycle before the next round of redistricting as voting habits become more predictable. The next redistricting begins in 2011. “You ‘re seeing candidates that were not recruited by anybody. They ‘re part of this parade of angry voters that don ‘t like what they see,” Davis said. “For the number of challengers to be up, that is a sign of the times.” The number of contested Democratic legislative primaries rose slightly, to 34 from 29 in 2008. The increase is the likely result of eight Democratic senators either deciding not to run for re-election or resigning late last year. For example, five Democrats are seeking the seat held by Sen. Larry Shaw, D-Cumberland, who isn ‘t running. House Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange, said Tuesday’s election doesn ‘t seem all that different from previous years when it comes to issues (most-
ly local) and the number of competitive races (a dozen or so). History shows one or two challengers defeat incumbents. “There ‘s no pattern there, I ‘d say,” said Hackney, who made no predictions on who could lose. Some Democratic primaries appear to be caused by party infighting. In Mecklenburg County, Reps. Beverly Earle and Becky Carney and Sen. Malcolm Graham have challengers who have personal or professional connections to fellow Democratic Rep. Nick Mackey. Mackey, who has his own primary opponent, has said he didn ‘t urge anyone to run. House Majority Whip Bruce Goforth, D-Buncombe, is facing a tough challenge from Patsy Keever, the Democrats ‘ congressional candidate in the 11th District in 2004. The race ‘s key issue has been how to regulate development on steep mountain slopes. Third-term Rep. Winkie Wilkins, D-Person, faces two Durham County challengers, including retired DMV employee Fred Foster Jr.

RALEIGH (AP) — Disenchanted Republicans and bickering Democrats are contributing to a soaring number of primary races for North Carolina ‘s General Assembly, putting a dozen or so incumbents on edge and bucking the state ‘s normal trend of uncontested campaigns. There are 81 contested House and Senate primaries Tuesday, a nearly 60 percent jump compared to the 51 recorded in both 2006 and 2008. The GOP has contributed the most to the increase with 27 contested House races and 20 in the Senate. Two years ago, there were only 22 contested Republican primaries. “I think I ‘ve got just a good a chance as any,” said firsttime candidate Lauren Raper of Spencer, a 27-year-old high school teacher competing with Harry Warren in a Republican primary for the right to challenge Democratic Rep. Lorene Coates in November. “Sometimes you need to stretch your neck and get out of your comfort zone.” The increase in contested GOP candidates appears to be an outgrowth in voter unhappiness about Washington that has brought a record number of primary candidates to con-

Immigration law draws protesters CHICAGO (AP) — Angered by a controversial Arizona immigration law, tens of thousands of protesters — including 50,000 alone in Los Angeles — rallied in cities nationwide demanding President Barack Obama tackle immigration reform immediately. “I want to thank the governor of Arizona because she’s awakened a sleeping giant,” said labor organizer John Delgado who attended a rally in New York where authorities estimated 6,500 gathered. From Los Angeles to Washington D.C., activists, families, students and even politicians marched, practiced civil disobedience and “came out” about their citizenship status in the name of rights for immigrants, including the estimated 12 million living illegally in the U.S. Police said 50,000 rallied in Los Angeles where singer Gloria Estefan kicked off a

People make their way along Broadway Street in Los Angeles on Saturday. massive downtown march. Estefan spoke in Spanish and English, proclaiming the United States is a nation of immigrants. “We’re good people,” the Cuban-born singer said atop a flatbed truck. “We’ve given a lot to this country. This country has given a lot to us.” Public outcry, particularly among immigrant rights activists, has been building
since last week when Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed the legislation. Supporters say the law is necessary because of the federal government’s failure to secure the border, but critics contend it encourages racial profiling and is unconstitutional. “It’s racist,” said Donna Sanchez, a 22-year-old U.S. citizen living in Chicago after her parents illegally crossed the Mexican border. “I have papers, but I want to help those who don’t.” Organizers estimated about 20,000 gathered at a park on Chicago’s West Side and marched, but police said about 8,000 turned out. The event resembled something between a family festival — with food vendors pushing carts through the grass — and a political demonstration with protesters chanting “Si se puede,” Spanish for “Yes we can.” A group of undocumented students stood on stage at the Chicago park and “came out” regarding their immigration status. Juan Baca, 19, was among those students. Baca’s parents brought him from Mexico illegally when he was 4 months old. He said he has had to drop out of college be-
cause he can’t qualify for financial aid. “It’s been a strug-
gle,” he said. “I missed the mark by four months. A lot of
times you feel like you’re not good enough.”

Those savings will be funneled to offset the cost for the expanded coverage for the insured. The biggest advantage of the law, Tobalski said, is it should create better use of the health care system.

Several states are currently enacting statutes that oppose, alter or limit certain parts of the bill. “Also, it’s unclear how many individuals and businesses will decide to obtain and retain coverage, or opt to pay the fine,” he said . “That may take years to find out. The first fines for individuals, which are minimal, won’t be levied until 2014.”

If the law is successful, 32 million will be insured, which leaves 16 million people without insurance. Tobalski said the hospital hasn’t said it would eliminate its charity care program or reduce eligibility. “Rowan Regional Medical Center will continue to provide charity care to those who need it. In theory, fewer people would need to access it as we reach some of these milestones,” he said. Tobalski said there will likely be fewer people who will need the program than in the past. But hospital officials continue to calculate the impact of the new law. “A lot of the long term impacts will become more clear

Easley ‘s campaign owes $210,000 RALEIGH (AP) — The campaign committee of former North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley has run out of money and owes $210,000 for legal bills and a penalty imposed by the State Board of Elections last fall. A campaign finance report filed last week by The Mike Easley Committee shows it has yet to pay more than $116,000 in legal fees to two law firms. The committee also had yet to pay nearly $95,000 of the $100,000 penalty ordered by the board because the campaign failed to report dozens of private airplane flights piloted by an Easley political ally.

Amelia (Amy) Collins SALISBURY — Amelia (Amy) Collins, 61, died at her residence on Thursday, April 29, 2010, after a courageous battle with cancer. Amy was born Sept. 7, 1948 in Burlington. She was the daughter of the late Jimmie Collins and her devoted mother, Mrs. Cleo M. Collins, who survives her. Her loving husband, Richard (Dick) Dale Palmore; sister Karen C. McGovern (Jim); stepsons and daughters-in-law Nicholas (Stephanie) and Alex (Jessica) Palmore; and cherished grandson, Aiden Palmore, survive. Survivors also include her sister-in-law, Beverly P. Ryan; niece Hannah Ryan; nephews Justin Peterson and Chase Ryan; great-nephew Payton Peterson; and very special friend and caretaker Rossielee Bramer. In addition to her father, she was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Kyriakos and Kyriaki Moskos (Moskovakis); and her paternal grandparents, Angelo and Amelia Collins (Kallinikos). Amy's loving mother, Cleo, and Amy's special friend, Rossi, were her extraordinary and loving caregivers. These two angels were with Amy 24 hours a day, providing support and care with exceptional strength. Her sister, Karen, was her cherished friend and companion. The kind and compassionate care of Hospice nurses furnished skilled care and comfort for Amy and her family. Many devoted family members and friends visited and encouraged her at the hospital and at home. Amy graduated from Walter Williams High School in 1966 and from Catawba College in 1970. A degree in sociology served her well in her professional life of 38 years as a champion and advocate for families. In 1986, Judge Frank Montgomery appointed Amy as the District 19C Administrator for the newly formed Rowan County Guardian ad Litem (GAL) program. During her tenure, she developed and nurtured the programs in both Rowan and Cabarrus counties, training and inspiring a small army of dedicated volunteers to advocate for abused and neglected children. Together they touched and changed the lives of an estimated 2,000 families. She served tirelessly in this capacity until her retirement on 1 March 2010. In recognition of her devoted service, she was awarded the prestigious Order of the Long Leaf Pine by North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue. Amy's legacy is championing children's rights. She will be missed. Service: A funeral service will be held at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 4 at Second Presbyterian Church on Lincolnton Road.

Lois Marie Wells Bell and perceptive board,” Setzer said, “and they have made some pace-setting and community-changing decisions. “Julian Robertson was gracious enough to lay some basic ground rules for our foundation’s grant-making. In fact, it was a simple directive — ‘I want the money used, not sitting in a bank.’ And we have used it. We have committed over $21.2 million in grants. And over the years, Julian has made sure we had it to give. “He started us out with $18 million and, in the years since, has given another $18 million to our asset base. Fantastic!” Previously known as the President’s Award, the Wilson L. Smith Philanthropic Award was renamed in 2007 to recognize Smith’s extraordinary generosity and advocacy to Rowan Regional Medical Center and its foundation.
received a gift certificate for writing about her favorite part of her favorite book. For Baker ‘s contest, Sydney says, “When I first started working on my story, I was on a cruise ship with my parents. I decided that I wanted my story to end with the characters getting ready to go on a cruise. “My mom actually said something on our trip about a private detective and that got me thinking that a kidnapping might be an interesting plot. When I started writing, the story just came to me. “It felt great to win a contest. I was pretty surprised because I thought my classmates wrote some interesting stories. I love to write so I guess it was kind of exhilarating to win! “I am nervous about going out to eat with college professors but I ‘m sure I will have a lot of fun and will learn a great deal.” Over the years, Rymer has invited Baker, along with other Catawba professors — Dr. Sanford Silverberg, Dr. Janice Fuller, Dr. Kurt Corriher and Dr. Bethany Sinnott — to her classroom. “It is memorable for the students and helps to make learning more authentic for them,” she says. “It is my goal to keep them engaged, and getting help from Catawba professors is a big plus. “I love the partnership we have established.”
thusiastic,” Baker says. “I thought there must be some way to read about authors and do some writing.” So he put together a prompt for the students — the first three short paragraphs of a short story, and encouraged the students to finish the story. “It was very interesting the different approaches they took,” Baker says. “One girl wrote in Nancy Drew style. Another wrote just a short bit, but it had the twist O ‘Henry has in his stories. It was a real surprise. “I enjoyed reading the stories. It was not an easy job picking them.” The winner was Sydney Smith. Baker appeared on the school ‘s morning announcements show on April 21 to deliver the news. “She kept the action going,” Baker says, “and she kept some suspense. For a fifth-grader, it ‘s remarkable. Donna Rymer really challenges the students. She stretches them.” “This was a wonderful opportunity because it encouraged students to explore creative writing without having to be locked into a specific mode of writing,” Rymer says. “My AIG fifth-graders love to ‘think out of the box ‘ and this creative writing opportunity allowed them the opportunity to do just that.” Freelance writer Susan Sydney, who also recently Shinn lives in Salisbury and won a contest at The Corner is a full-time student at Book Store in China Grove, Catawba.

LIVINGSTONE
Livingstone College graduate D’Wayne OwensJune wants to make sure his friends see him Saturday.
FROM 1A she said of everyone who helped her in the program. Bellamy’s GPA was a 1.999 when she entered the program, and she graduated with a 3.8. She plans to attend the University of North Carolina at Charlotte for graduate school, and from there go on to medical school to become a dermatologist. Leroy Smalls, a computer information systems major, said the program taught him the importance of working hard to get what you want. “It really played an important role in my life,” he said. “It made me become a more hard-working person.” Psychology major Anthony Morrison said the program prepared him for college. “It made me more focused in life and made me realize that life is not all about fun and games,” Morrison said. “You’ve got to get serious sometimes.” Jonathan Williams, a social work major, said the program helped him from freshman year up until his walk across the stage at graduation. “It helped me build a lot of character,” he said. “For me, it was all about preparation, personal development and building self esteem coming to college.” Lakia Wright, also a Bridge Program participant, majored in psychology, and will be attending Howard University for graduate school. “Livingstone College has always offered opportunities to students who need further education,” said Laurie Willis, assistant director of public relations for the college. “It’s not only academic, though, it’s about personal development, and is a holistic approach to college.” Willis said the program focuses on five main aspects of a student’s life: academics, personal development, time management, goal setting and spiritual development. “We recognize at Livingstone College that sometimes you need additional help for some students,” Willis said. “We bridge that gap from what they didn’t get in high school.

The five Bridge students who graduated Saturday made their own special mark on the college, which is what valedictorian Chad Mitchell spoke about during his graduation statement. “We are the class of history in the making,” he said. “As you go out today into the world, make history. “We have been given a gift here at Livingstone College. For this we are great and made for greatness.” Keynote speaker Mike

“I think it’s a wonderful testament to understanding that we all have different needs. The key is finding out how to really get them to believe in themselves.” Sylvester Kyles, director of the program, said the students must learn how to become self sufficient in all aspects of their college lives. “We put more goals in front of them,” he said. “They have a morning workout and devotion every day before their classes. By teaching them to be that way, they are already self sufficient.” “The important point is, they checked their egos at the door and let their pride fall,” Willis said. “Now we have five of them graduating.

Pets available for adoption
The Rowan County Animal Shelter has several animals waiting to be adopted and taken to a good home. Dog: Believe it or not, this precious female Shih-Tzu mix came to the shelter as a stray. She has the most lovable personality and would be a perfect fit for any family. We approximate her age to be around 7 months. Cat: This adorable, 6-week-old orange tabby kitten came to the shelter as a stray. He and many others are waiting for the right person to adopt them and give them the home they deserve. From rescued animals to those abandoned by owners who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford them, and all others in between, the Animal Shelter has them all. Adoption fees are $70, a down payment for spay/neuter costs. The voucher can be used at any veterinarianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. Before adopting any animal, a person must agree to take the pet to a veterinarian for an exam and spaying/neutering. If the animal isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already vaccinated for rabies, the person must agree to begin shots within three business days. Want to view animals at the shelter? Kennel hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 to 11 a.m. and Saturday. Office hours are 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m Monday through Friday and 8 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday. To learn more about adopting a pet, call the shelter at 704216-7768, or visit the shelter at 1465 Julian Road, Salisbury. You can also visit the shelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www.co.rowan.nc .us/animalshelter/.

Shout-outs, state by state Thoughts for winners to consider ell, here we are again. Once a year, winning sportswriters and sportscasters from 50 states converge on our city to tell stories, drink a lot of Cheerwine and get away from their daily grind to attend the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Awards Weekend. And, as always, I see RONNIE BostoniGALLAGHER only ans Bob Ryan and Dan Shaughnessy from my favorite afternoon TV lineup. No Kornheiser or Wilbon. No Le Batard (Tony and Mike will surely tell me that’s a good thing). No Reali. No Woody or Plaschke. No Cowlishaw or Jay Mariotti. No Jim Rome? C’mon. So here’s my annual shoutout to the boys of the afternoon. We want you guys here. I’ll save a Cheerwine for you. But for the rest of my NSSA friends who are in Salisbury, many of whom are making a return trip, here are a few random thoughts: Kevin Scarbinsky, Birmingham, Alabama: 91,312 at a spring football game? Wow. Bob Wisener, Hot Springs, Arkansas: Get ready for West Rowan defensive end Chris Smith as a Razorback. His nickname is Hercules. You’ll realize why soon enough. Bill Dwyre, Los Angeles, California: What’s Plaschke really like? Dave Krieger, Denver, Colorado: What are we getting in Wake Forest’s Jeff Bzdelik? Jeff Jacobs, Hartford, Connecticut: Were you as shocked with UConn being in the NIT as we were with North Carolina being in the NIT? Gary Shelton, St. Petersburg, Florida: How ’bout that wacky Urban Meyer? Wes Durham, Atlanta, Georgia: Your daddy’s a winner, too. Bobby Curran, Honolulu, Hawaii: Why isn’t the University of Hawaii a national power? How can star recruits turn down a free, four-year ride in Honolulu?

There is only one way to write about Murray Olderman, and that’s by telling a story. This one begins in pre-World War II Spring Valley, New York — a working-class settlement carefully placed some 25 miles north of Manhattan’s hustle and bustle. It was there, sprawled on a living room couch or propped at a kitchen table, that a seed was planted, a seed that has yielded a lifetime harvest for the 88-year old Olderman. “I came from a melting pot family,” he recalled with smiling blue eyes Saturday at the Holiday Inn. “My parents emigrated from the Ukraine. One of the things that attracted kids like me to sports is its great assimilating factor. We were second generation, and we all played baseball because we all wanted to be Americans. Sports presented that avenue.” It’s a road that has taken Olderman — a story-teller extraordinaire and member of the NSSA’s VIP panel this weekend — around the world. As a

“I had a big run-in with him during the World Series that year,” Olderman said. “He came out of the batting cage screaming all these four- and 10-letter words, threatening me with a bat in his hands, all because he didn’t like what I had written about him.

describing their feelings about what they do. Baseball players, on the other hand, play every day, and all they do is scratch themselves.” That, from his home in Rancho Mirage, Calif. — just off the 13th green at Mission Hills Country Club — he had the honor of meeting Mr. Joe DiMaggio. “It’s where they used to have the Dinah Shore Classic,” Olderman explained. “DiMaggio always played in the pro-am tournament. One time he got to 13 and my wife walked over and brought him a meatball sandwich.” That he’s responsible for all of the cartoons on the back of 1957 and 1958 Topps baseball card sets. “Got paid on commission,” he said. “It was about 500 drawings.” That he befriended former rock promoter Billy Graham, met the Greatful Dead, attended a Santana concert at San Francisco’s Filmore West and isn’t much of an Allman Brothers fan.

ond, still untitled book about Raiders’ owner Al Davis — “Just Win, Baby” was his creation. A manuscript has been submitted and given Davis’ seal-of-approval. His last book, a must-read called “Mingling With Lions,” was published about five years ago. It included anecdotes from his life with 130 drawings and illustrations. Through it all, Olderman has remained a man who seemingly carries the sunshine around in his back pocket — a gifted charmer who makes it feel like your friendship is a favor to him. Married 65 years to Nancy, he’s truly had a wonderful life. Just don’t tell him he’s been fortunate. “Nah,” he said with a backhanded wave of his hand. “I don’t feel lucky. Luck, as Branch Rickey would say, is the residue of desire. You pick out what you’d like to do. If it happens, it happens. I don’t attribute any of it to luck.” Instead, call it a lifetime harvest of storytelling.

CHARLOTTE — Winless for almost 12 years on the PGA Tour, Billy Mayfair will take whatever he can get. There was that Friday game he won a few weeks ago at Whisper Rock, the Arizona club where members include Geoff Ogilvy and Paul Casey. He won a match against his wife, a good college player. And he won a qualifier Monday, significant because it gave Mayfair a tee time in the Quail Hollow Championship. Now comes a chance for the real thing. Mayfair kept the ball in play Saturday and kept the lead at Quail Hollow, shooting a 1-under 71 to take a two-shot lead over Masters champion Phil Mickelson and Carolina favorite Davis Love III. A victory would be his first since the 1998 Buick Open and
the first time a Monday qualifier won on the PGA Tour since Fred Wadsworth in the 1986 Southern Open. “Today was a real test for me,” Mayfair said. “I kept it going for 18 holes and still have the lead going into tomorrow.” It is hard for Mayfair not to get caught up in the possibilities. He lost his PGA Tour card after the worst season of his career, and a victory would sure take care of that. He only got into Quail Hollow because of a Monday qualifier that he almost missed. Mayfair was late arriving in Charlotte, had to race to the course to make his tee time and then shot a 65, his best score of the year. All that’s left is to hold off Mickelson, Love and a collection of players who have won far more recently than Mayfair.

CHARLOTTE — The large crowd bunched together near the clubhouse was yelling “Phil! Phil!” when Phil Mickelson was still inside signing his scorecard. A man started chanting “Here we go Lefty, here we go!” as Mickelson began a television interview. Eliminate Tiger Woods from the weekend, add a few afternoon cocktails to a Saturday crowd that didn’t seem to be thinned much by the world’s No. 1 player missing the cut and Mickelson became the top attraction at the Quail Hollow Championship. “I think that’s Charlotte, though,” Mickelson insisted after his 1-under 71 left him tied for second, two shots behind Billy Mayfair. “We get a lot more people at this tournament and they’re very supportive. I think it might be that.” But it’s clear with Mickelson coming off another Masters victory and in contention

CLEVELAND — The elbow is just fine. Cavaliers 101 Hours Celtics 93 b e f o r e r e ceiving his second straight MVP award, LeBron James scored 35 points and Mo Williams added 20 as the Cleveland Cavaliers, outplayed for most of the game, roared back to beat the Boston Celtics 101-93 on Saturday night in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series. James, playing with a sprained and bruised right elbow, delivered yet another memorable performance as the Cavs JAMES withstood a furious opening-round punch from the Celtics, who led by 11 in the third quarter and seem intent on making this a long series. James, who also had seven rebounds and seven assists, drained a 3-pointer with 22 seconds left to put Boston away. Rajon Rondo had 27 points and 12 assists and Kevin Garnett finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Celtics, who were held to 15 points in the fourth quarter. Game 2 is Monday night. For three quarters, the Celtics looked like their old selves. But James, who seemed to be bothered by the elbow early on, picked it up down the stretch. After Rondo split a pair of free throws with 4:30 left, James drove the lane and missed a short shot but grabbed his own rebound and banked it in to put the Cavs ahead 94-91. Garnett’s bucket got the Celtics within one, but James countered with a floater in the lane. After Paul Pierce missed a wide-open 3-pointer, Shaquille O’Neal scored on a tip to make it 98-93 with 1:02 remaining. Following a Boston turnover, James came up with the decisive blow. Pulling up on the left side, he buried a 3-pointer that finally allowed 20,000 Cleveland fans to exhale and scream their lungs out. James scored 12 points in the fourth.

CHARLOTTE — Armanti Edwards finished running a route Saturday morning and Carolina offensive coordinator Jeff Davidson hustled over for a critique. Seconds later, Panthers coach John Fox chimed in before clapping with encouragement. After Edwards caught a pass over the middle, receivers coach Tyke Tolbert shouted, “That’s it, Armanti!” Before the workout was over, Edwards was praised for quickly learning the proper technique of fielding a punt. Nobody on Carolina’s roster is getting more attention at this EDWARDS weekend’s minicamp, and for a good reason. The former Appalachian State quarterback is the Panthers’ biggest draft gamble. “I’ve got a lot to learn,” Edwards said. Indeed, the elusive QB who engineered the Mountaineers’ upset of Michigan and delivered two FCS national titles is not behind center anymore. The 5-foot-11, 182-pound Edwards is running routes as a receiver, something he hasn’t done since his junior year of high school. He’s also fielding punts for the first time in his life. “It was expected,” Edwards said of his position change. “I’m undersized, so I basically knew I was making the transition to receiver right away.” Few expected Edwards, the only player in NCAA Division I history to pass for 10,000 yards and rush for 4,000 more, to go so high in the draft. Panthers general manager Marty Hurney was so determined to get Edwards that he traded next year’s second-round pick to New England for the Patriots third-round choice, where they snagged the Greenwood, S.C., native.

Busch ends streak BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va. — Kyle Busch snapped a 21-race losing streak — an eternity by his standards — with a late pass at Richmond International Raceway that denied Jeff Gordon yet another victory. Although Busch embarrassed the field early Saturday night — at one point, there were only eight cars on the lead lap — the racing evened out and Busch’s car faded just a bit. That put Gordon in position for the win, a spot he’s been in at least three other times this season.
Once again, he was denied. Three late cautions gave the challengers a chance to chase Gordon down, and Busch capitalized with a pass on the final restart to stretch Gordon’s winless streak to 38 races. “I don’t even remember what just happened,” Busch said. “I drove it down into Turn 1 and hoped it stuck. I knew I had to baby it into Turn 3 and finally got to clear Jeff. We set sail there from there.” Indeed he did, as Gordon had to hold off Kevin Harvick to keep second place. ASSOCIATED PRESS

Mayweather in unanimous decision Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — Floyd Mayweather Jr. put on a virtuoso display of boxing skill in an unanimous decision over Sugar Shane Mosley late Saturday night, keeping his perfect record intact.
BUSCH FROM 3B Since Gordon’s last victory, at Texas last year, he has finished second eight frustrating times. “I’ve been doing this long enough to know that they don’t give out trophies for leading any lap other than the last one,” he said. The race was unbelievably fast at the start. Busch lapped car after car through the first 150 laps until only seven others were still running with him. A pair of cautions for debris allowed everybody to catch up under NASCAR’s “wave around”
Mayweather gave a masterful effort in his most dangerous fight in several years against the 38year-old Mosley, who put Mayweather on his heels with several rocking punches in the second round. Mayweather regained his composure and thoroughly outboxed the veteran champion.
Mosley didn’t have the power or precision to follow up his dynamic second round, losing in his first fight since stopping Antonio Margarito in January 2009. Mayweather accepted this fight when negotiations with Manny Pacquiao broke down over drug-testing demands.
rule, and Busch finally had some competition. He still led 221 of the first 229 laps before his Toyota began to fade. Gordon eventually took command of the race, leading 144 late laps, but he knew he’d have to withstand a slew of late cautions to close out the win. After just three cautions through the first 364 laps, there were three in the final 36 laps. “Of course, it’s never easy,” Gordon grumbled over his radio. Sam Hornish brought out the last yellow with a spin, and Gordon had Busch on his outside on the restart with five to go. Busch completed his pass coming out of Turn 3, then pulled away in his Joe Gibbs Racing en-
try for his first win since Bristol last August. That Bristol victory was the lone bright spot for Busch during a late summer swoon that saw him miss the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship and led to a crew-chief change late in the season. JGR and Busch were criticized for replacing Steve Addington with Dave Rogers, who was promoted from the second-tier Nationwide Series. After guiding Busch to Victory Lane, where he also won last May, the decision was vindicated. “I can’t thank Dave enough,” Busch said. “It’s just unbelievable to be back in Victory Lane. A lot of people doubted what we were doing but I never did.”
SALISBURY POST
Braves bounce Astros Associated Press
ATLANTA — Troy Glaus drove in four runs, rookie Jason Heyward homered again and Tim Hudson pitched well into the seventh inning to help the A t l a n t a Braves beat the Houston Astros 10-1 on Saturday. Glaus had three hits to raise his a v erage 27 GLAUS points to .221 in his most productive game since Aug. 9, 2008, when he had five RBIs for St. Louis in a win at the Chicago Cubs. Hudson (2-1) allowed five hits and one run with two walks and one strikeout in 62⁄3 innings. The right-hander faced the minimum over his last 12 batters before Peter Moylan, the first of three Atlanta relievers, replaced him with two out in the seventh. Heyward’s seventh homer, a solo shot off Sammy Gervacio, gave the Braves a 7-1 lead in the seventh. The Atlanta right-fielder leads all rookies in home runs and RBIs (20). Phillies 10, Mets 0 PHILADELPHIA — Roy Halladay threw a three-hitter for his second shutout in three starts, Shane Victorino hit a three-run homer and the Phillies ended New York’s eight-game winning streak. Mets right-hander Mike Pelfrey (4-1) extended his scoreless innings streak to 27 before giving up six runs in the fourth. He ran into some bad luck, however. Two of the first three hits he allowed in the inning almost were caught. Giants 6, Rockies 1 SAN FRANCISCO — Matt Cain gave up one hit over eight innings, and Juan Uribe hit a three-run homer. Cardinals 6, Reds 3 ST. LOUIS — Skip Schumaker singled to snap an eighth-inning tie after the Reds twice rallied to even the score in the Cardinals’ victory. Cubs 7, Diamondbacks 5 CHICAGO — Alfonso Soriano homered, Derrek Lee delivered the go-ahead two-run single and the Cubs rallied from three down again to win. Soriano’s two-run shot off former Cubs pitcher Bob Howry in the seventh tied it at 5, and Lee made it 7-5 with a two-run bases-loaded single in the eighth off Juan Gutierrez. Marlins 7, Nationals 1 MIAMI — Florida’s Chris Volstad pitched a four-hitter for the second complete game of his career. Hanley Ramirez snapped a 3-for-20 slump with three hits, including an RBI double and a two-run homer. AMERICAN LEAGUE White Sox 7, Yankees 6 NEW YORK — Andruw Jones hit two homers off a shaky Javier Vazquez, and A.J. Pierzynski boomed a go-ahead, two-run double in the seventh. Rangers 6, Mariners 3 SEATTLE — Felix Hernandez saw his string of 18 straight quality starts snapped in his shortest outing in nearly a calendar year as Matt Harrison dazzled for Texas. Hernandez (1-1) lasted just 41⁄3 innings. He was tagged for five runs and eight hits. It was the first time since May 9 of last season that Hernandez failed to go at least five innings and ended a string of quality starts dating to Aug. 1. Tigers 3, Angels 2 DETROIT — Johnny D a mon’s first homer in a Detroit uniform came in the bottom of the ninth inning. Athletics 4, Blue Jays 3 TORONTO — Rookie catcher Josh Donaldson, who was called up from Triple-A on Friday, had a two-run homer for his first MLB hit. Orioles 12, Red Sox 9 BALTIMORE — Ty Wigginton and Matt Wieters homered in a six-run fifth inning against Daisuke Matsuzaka, and the Orioles won their first series of the season. The teams combined for nine home runs. Tim Wakefield ended a string of 162 consecutive starts with his first relief appearance since 2004. Royals 4, Rays 2 (11) ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Alberto Callaspo hit a two-run double in the 11th inning.

Calvin Borel (atop Super Saver) celebrates his Kentucky Derby win.
‘Bo-rail’ strikes again BY BETH HARRIS Associated Press
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — They don’t call him Bo-rail for nothing. Calvin Borel grabbed the rail and didn’t let go Saturday, sloshing through the slop with Super Saver on another flawless ride to win his third Kentucky Derby in four years. The most wide-open Derby in years ended with a sure thing — Borel crossing the finish line and punching the air with this right fist, this time raising it toward a leaden sky. The jockey’s magic touch on his home track gave PLETCHER trainer Todd Pletcher his first Derby win after 24 failures with a 21⁄2-length victory over Ice Box. “Calvin Borel is a great rider anywhere he goes, but at Churchill Downs, he’s even five lengths better,” Pletcher said. “He knows how to ride this track and gets along with his colt beautifully.” Borel’s ride nearly duplicated the one he turned in last year aboard 50-1 shot Mine That Bird, except he and Super Saver went off at lower odds and were never in last place. He was confident enough in his colt and his knowledge of the track to take him off the lead in the early going of the 11⁄4-mile race. In all but one of his six previous races, Super Saver had never been farther back than second in the early stages.
Borel knew that strategy wouldn’t work in a 20-horse Derby field on a tiring, sloppy track that had been pelted by heavy rain early in the day. Breaking from the No. 4 post, he immediately tucked his colt along the rail — a predictable move given his nickname — and there they stayed almost the entire way. Super Saver was timed in 2:04.45 as the 8-1 second-choice behind favorite Lookin At Lucky, whose 6-1 odds tied Harlan’s Holiday in 2002 for the longest priced favorite in 136 runnings. He paid $18, $8.80 and $6. Pletcher let out a whoop and slapped his hands together after his colt crossed the finish line, snapping a skid the Eclipse Awardwinning trainer was eager to end. He seemed to have a lock on his first Derby win until expected favorite Eskendereya was withdrawn with a swollen leg. That left Pletcher with four horses in the race but none as highly regarded. His other finishers were: Mission Impazible, ninth; filly Devil May Care, 10th; and Discreetly Mine, 13th. Pletcher’s only other Triple Crown race victory was in 2007 at Belmont with the filly Rags to Riches. The lack of a Derby win was the most glaring omission on his resume. “It’s the one thing that was important to me,” he said. “The one thing I wanted to do while my parents were still here to see it.” Borel is the first jockey to win three derbies in four years; Bill Hartack won three in five years from 1960-64.

MAYFAIR FROM 3B
Catawba inducts four into Hall BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
The plan called for Saturday’s Catawba Sports Hall of Fame inductions to conclude at 2 p.m., but it was 2:40 before the applause died down. No one minded the affair stretching into overtime because inductees David Bennett, Reid Bradshaw, Kevin Sloan and Jowita Sokolowska spoke from the heart. Bennett was first alphabetically, so he was the leadoff man. He had his audience in stitches at times, tears at others and was a difficult act to follow. But Bradshaw, Sloan and Sokolowska stepped to the podium and held their own.
Jowita Sokolowska One of Catawba’s top women’s basketball players, Sokolowska (Class of 1997) still ranks fourth all-time in scoring with 1,679 points. Known as “Yo,” she had the genes. Her father, Andrzej, represented Poland in team handball in the 1972 and 1976 Summer Olympics and medaled in Montreal in ’76. His only child’s dream was basketball. Inspired by universal icon Michael Jordan, Sokolowska devoted herself to hoops. She encountered Catawba men’s basketball coach Jim Baker at a clinic in Belgium in 1991. That opened doors. Sokolowska earned academic scholarships to Catawba, but all the athletic scholarships had been handed out. She was $12,000 short of the funds needed for her freshman year, but her parents invested their life savings to send her to Salisbury. “I begged, I pleaded and I cried, and they believed in me,” she said. “Yo” became the best walkon in recorded history, putting up a 40-point game and scoring 30-plus in nine others.
EDWARDS FROM 3B “We think he has the talent to warrant that,” Hurney said. “You’re talking about him having a year to develop and a year to train at the wide receiver position and returns or however we decide to use him. “Hopefully in a year we’ll see that it was the right thing to do. He has a lot of qualities that make you think he is going to be a very good football player.” The Panthers hope Edwards can become another Josh Cribbs or Antwaan Randle-El, converted college QBs who have thrived at receiver and returner in the NFL. It’s a big undertaking. Edwards is scrambling to learn a position he hasn’t played in six years. “It’s a drastic difference because this is the NFL now. This isn’t high school cornerbacks,” Edwards said. “These are the best the cornerbacks in the league, so I’ve got to work hard very quickly.” Edwards, who ran the 40-yard dash in 4.43 seconds at his pro day, is working out at punt returner, too, along with Captain Munnerlyn and newly signed Trent Guy. Edwards said Saturday was
SOKOLOWSKA
SLOAN
She was All-SAC first team three times and went on to play professionally in Europe. It’s a success story she credits to Baker — and her parents. “I fell in love with Michael Jordan when I was 10,” she said. “But Michael was nothing compared to my dad.”
Kevin Sloan Sloan (Class of 1988) is arguably the best men’s soccer player in Catawba history. The striker scored 59 goals, a school record. The three-time All-American described himself as “just a spoke in a wheel,” but he was the star of exceptional teams. Catawba was an NAIA school in his era, but it took on the big boys. Sloan recounted magical wins against Wake Forest, Charlotte, Campbell and Appalachian State. “Success that came out of nowhere,” Sloan said. “But it was consistent success.” Sloan scored both goals as Catawba stunned Duke 2-1 in 1986. Duke won the D-I national championship that season. Sloan was flipping burgers at a Wendy’s in Maryland when he was approached about attending Catawba by dynamic coach Ralph Wager. Wager’s enthusiasm lured Sloan to Salisbury, and the rest is history.
Reid Bradshaw Raised by blue-collar grandparents in a Landis mill village, Bradshaw knew when he was 15 and working with Little Leaguers that he wanted to coach for a living.
the first time he’s felt comfortable back there. “It took him one day to learn how to catch punts. Yesterday he was all down here,” Munnerlyn said, dropping his arms below his waist. “Today I was impressed. I told him to keep just working hard. I know it’s not going to be easy from playing quarterback, but he should be a pretty good player.” For now, the quiet Edwards is soaking in all he can from as many sources as possible, including four-time Pro Bowl receiver Steve Smith. “From a quarterback going to a wideout I think it may not be as hard as people think because as a quarterback you have the responsibility to know where everyone is on the field,” Smith said. “I think for him he has to focus on being the wideout so he doesn’t have as many tasks as a quarterback generally has. I don’t think it will be that much harder. “Just getting that lingo together coming that spread offense. But I think he will do pretty good. I wouldn’t say he’s going to struggle.”
“architect of Catawba’s football resurgence.” Catawba was 2-9 in 1994 and allowed 188 points in one dismal three-game stretch. Bennett was on that staff. “Fred Corriher gave me the football job because no else wanted it,” Bennett joked. In 1995, the Indians were 7-3. The turnaround was quick. “We beat Elon and we beat Wofford,” Bennett said. “Beat them with 25 scholarships.” The Bennett Era peaked in 1999-2001 with three squads that were a combined 33-5 and legitimate contenders for a national championship. Two of Catawba’s greatest moments came in 2001. There was a 35-34 comeback against huge Central Arkansas after trailing 31-3 at the half. The following week, Catawba seized a monumental 37-34 overtime win at perennial power Valdosta State in a heated national quarterfinal. Chris Hatcher was Valdosta’s coach then, and he famously offered Bennett a onefinger salute — the middle one — when that one was done. “I asked Chris why he’d shot me the bird,” Bennett growled. “He said because that was the best team he’d ever had and we beat ’em. No, we never won that championship, but dang we got close.” Bennett moved on to Coastal Carolina to start the program there. His legacy at Catawba besides golf and football titles was the reconstruction of Shuford Stadium that his vibrant personality and onfield success made possible. “Got lots of memories of Salisbury,” he said. “When they ask my children where they’re from, they always answer Salisbury. Every time I pass Salisbury on a recruiting trip, I thank the good Lord that he brought me here.” David Bennett When an emotional Bennett What do you say about Ben- finished, everyone in the room nett? Master of Ceremonies wanted to sprint down to ShuKarl Hales credited him as the ford to rub the totem pole.
He also was smart enough to realize coaching at the high school level would require a degree. Money BRADSHAW was an obstacle, but Bradshaw was determined to earn a scholarship. “I was a pretty average athlete,” he said, “but I had a good work ethic.” He earned that scholarship to Catawba and remembers the day he reported for freshman practice. The first veteran he saw was Bryan Applefield, and Bradshaw was awed by the running back’s physique. “I was thinking, my gosh, if that’s a back, what do college linemen look like,” Bradshaw said. “But when I met the offensive line I was relieved. They were all short, stocky and stumpy like me.” Bradshaw (Class of 1967) became a three-year starter at tackle. He was Honorable Mention All-America. Legendary Catawba receiver Ike Hill calls Bradshaw the best he played with in college. That’s a strong endorsement. Bradshaw had a terrific coaching career. He was 78-48-3 from 1971-82 as South Rowan’s head football coach. What makes that record remarkable is he was 6-24 after his first three seasons. “Great players and assistants turned it,” he said. That notable crew of assistants included Steve Beaver and Bob Parker. They were in attendance Saturday. Bradshaw also was 69-25 as South’s baseball coach, and the Raiders won 28 championships during his 12-year stint as athletics director.

Davis Love III reacts to the crowd on the 16th green. the group at 6-under 210 that included Pebble Beach winner Dustin Johnson (72) and J.J. Henry (71). Another shot back was Jim Furyk, who already has won twice this year. Furyk had a 12-foot birdie putt on the final hole that caught the lip and spun 5 feet away. He wound up three-putting for bogey. Furyk still shot 71 and was right in the mix. So was Rory McIlroy, who had to make eagle on his 16th hole Friday to make the cut on the number. Playing early Saturday, McIlroy made birdie on half of his holes for a 66. By the end of the day, he was four shots out of the lead. Ten players were within four shots of the top, a margin that doesn’t seem so large considering how long it has been since the 43-year-old Mayfair has been tested like this. He is a five-time winner and still the only player to beat Woods in a playoff on the PGA Tour. That was in the 1998 Nissan Open, and Mayfair won the Buick Open later that year. That was his last victory. Mickelson has never won in his first start after the Masters. “I didn’t have it today,” Mickelson said. “I didn’t have great control over my ball-striking and missed a number of putts that I probably could have made. But I controlled the misses, I kept the round in check, and because of the difficult conditions was able to shoot a number that kept me in contention for Sunday. So I’m excited about my opportunities tomorrow.”

“I’ve got to put it out of my mind,” Mayfair said. “I’ve got to use my 21 years of experiences out here, and I’ve got to say, ‘You know what? I’ve been out here.’ I’m a tour veteran, I’ve got a lot of veterans that are chasing me. I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I know what I need to do tomorrow and how to handle it. And try to do the best I can.” He has been good enough so far, finishing three rounds at 9-under 207. It’s his first 54-hole lead in four years. Mickelson, in his first start since winning a third green jacket, overcame food poisoning at the start of the week and a few errant shots to put himself in a great position to join a strong list of champions at Quail Hollow. He birdied the par 5s on the back nine, and he closed with a tough twoputt from 60 feet for a 71. He made par and a point. It was such an impossible putt that Mickelson told his caddie to leave the pin in the cup because he wasn’t aiming at the hole, wanting to avoid any chance of the ball going down a slope. Instead, he hit it well to the right, then made about a 6-footer for par. “For as beautifully designed as this golf course is tee to green, the greens are by far the worst designed greens we play on tour,” Mickelson said. “Even though they’re in immaculate shape, I would say that 18 would be the worst green that we have on tour, except that it’s not even the worst on this golf course — 12 is.” Love birdied three of his last five holes for a 4-under 68, and he will play in the final group with Mayfair. Love was born in Charlotte and attended North Carolina. His daughter is with him this week, and he heard plenty of “Go Heels!” chants while putting himself into contention for his first victory in two years. “This is a great place to play golf,” Love said. “It’s like a mini-major.” For a tournament that no longer has Tiger Woods, who missed the cut, it is not lacking in star power. Two-time major champion Angel Cabrera had a 73 and was in

Volunteers see benefits of labor on farms
New division president at CMC-Northeast
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY TRACIE CONE Associated Press
PAICINES, Calif. — The morning sun lights up the blue and magenta blooms of wildflowers as Erik Ramfjord and Andrew Riddle scoop soured milk into a trough, drawing delighted squeals from a dozen free-range pigs. A month ago, Ramfjord was an unmotivated biology major in Oregon, and Riddle didn’t know what he wanted from Humboldt State University in northern California. Now they are energized, toiling from sun up to sun down for meals and a bunk on an organic ranch in central California, hundreds of miles from home. “I consider myself extremely lucky to have stumbled upon this,” says Ramfjord, 20. Ramfjord and Riddle each paid $20 to become part of World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms USA, a group with 9,000 members known by a variation of its acronym, woofers. It’s kind of a new millennium version of the traveling hobo willing to work for a meal. The website allows willing workers to negotiate a non-paid work stint with nearly 1,200 U.S. farmers and ranchers. Every farm could use an extra hand, but the hosts also benefit
from the parade of characters who become a part of their lives, if only temporarily. “When I was younger, I used to hitchhike; it’s not the same, but it is that idea,” said Ryan “Leo” Goldsmith, executive director of WWOOF-USA, founded with former classmates at the University of California, Santa Cruz. “You have to have faith in humanity and that showing up at someone’s house is going to be OK. The tie that binds is a shared interest in sustainable agriculture.” Most are young people from urban areas who want to experience rural life. Some are newly jobless, or don’t have prospects. Membership has skyrocketed as the economy has plummeted, soaring from about 1,600 willing U.S. workers in 2005. More than a dozen other autonomous branches match workers with farmers around the globe. After a year woofing across the U.S. with her boyfriend, Jennifer Makens of suburban Detroit plans to ditch her teaching career to farm for a living. But first the couple will woof on a farm in Pennsylvania, then California and Oregon, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Argentina, Japan and New Zealand. “I had no idea we’d do this for so long,” said Makens, 29, who travels
with Charlie Ryan in a Saturn with 150,000 miles on it. “We’re getting proud of all the calluses on our hands. It has really changed the way I feel about material possessions, as well. If it won’t fit in my car, I don’t need it.” Ramfjord heard about woofing while a student at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, so he signed up while awaiting a guide job on the American River in California. Riddle will work this summer with the California Conservation Corps. On the Douglas Ranch, about 75 miles south of San Jose, they start their day with the pigs, move to milking Bonnie the cow and feeding horses and lambs, then take on whatever owners Don and Rani Douglas need done. It ends at sunset with the cow’s second milking and another round of feeding. The Douglases have hosted woofers since 2005. They’ve made connections with people from Italy, France, Belgium, South Korea, Scotland and England, and across the United States. Forty in all. “Besides all the hard work that they do for us, it’s been a wonderful experience meeting them all,” Rani said.

Wood presents auto dealers honor to teacher of year Gerry Wood was at Cleveland Elementary School to present an award to Rowan County’s Teacher of the Year. On behalf of the North Carolina Dealers Association, Wood was asked to present the outstanding teacher award for Rowan County. Having spoken with the school’s principal, Rebecca Kepley-Lee, Wood had some background on recipient, Joy Jenkins. He knew that she took on an ambitious challenge, competing with 120 teachers to qualify for a grant from the Board of Education to provide funding for 21st Century classroom technology. Jenkins’ students learn by using such tools as iPods, MacBooks, iChat and Activotes — in the third grade. Joy was recognized in February for her exceptional work in education at an event hosted by Rowan-Salisbury Education Superintendent Dr. Judy Grissom and Brandon Patterson, assistant director for N.C. Education Recruitment
and Development. She was named Northwest Region Teacher of the Year and is now in the running for the state honor. Jenkins has now been teaching for 11 years, four of those at Cleveland Elementary. “Her presence is remarkable. This soft spoken woman transmits a genuine love of learning and the enthusiasm flows from her. Simply put, her excitement is contagious. It is obvious that she makes learning fun; her mere presence is motivational,” Wood said. Describing her is probably best summed up by a quote from her principal earlier in the Post: “She is a superwoman, the Energizer Bunny. Joy is a facilitator and the kids become the teachers. She motivates students to believe in SUBMITTED PHOTO themselves so they can do anything.” Joy Jenkins and Gerry Wood Wood presented the NCADA’s award gift to Jenkins and her husband, Scott, who will get to enjoy time at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville. know this was not a career of convenience; this “After two minutes with Mrs. Jenkins you was a calling,” Wood said.

Having woofers at Butternut Farms has allowed Patricia West-Volland to hang onto the 20-acre farm in Glenford, Ohio, since the death of her husband a year ago. “I truly could not stay on this farm without their help,” she said. Not all experiences are good, so Goldsmith encourages woofers to make sure expectations are clear, including how long the visit will last. One left a Georgia farm when an emotionally unstable neighbor joined the crew. One host said a worker broke candlesticks when she asked him to leave. But usually it works out. “The first night I was sketching out,” Ramfjord said. “I was with people I never met. I thought, ‘I’m a dead man.’ ” One day an outbuilding needs a new roof, or Ike the

But the glitzy event has grown to become much more than the $225-per-ticket dinner. Celebrities, political elite and journalists were also expected to flood several afterparties that can have red carpets of their own, said Sarah Schaffer of Capitol File Magazine, a host to one of the parties. At the dinner, the White House Correspondents’ Association will introduce students from Washington who will receive college scholarships. To be honored at the dinner are several journalists: • Ben Feller of The Associated Press and Jake Tapper of ABC News, for winning the Merriman Smith Award for presidential coverage under deadline pressure. Feller won for his coverage of Obama’s unexpected late-night visit to

Dover Air Force Base to honor fallen soldiers. Tapper won for his story that revealed tax problems of former Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D. • Mark Knoller, of CBS News, for winning the Aldo Beckman award for sustained excellence in White House coverage. Knoller won for his work covering the White House for more than 35 years and in using multiple platforms to report. • Suzanne Bohan and Sandy Kleffman, of the Contra Costa (Calif.) Times, for winning the Edgar A. Poe Award for excellence in coverage of news of national or regional significance. They were cited for a four-part series entitled, “Shortened Lives: Where You Live Matters.” The White House Correspondents’ Association was formed in 1914 as a liaison between the press and the president. Every president since Calvin Coolidge has attended the dinner.
In the year ahead, evaluate all the possibilities you have for putting one or more of your creative ideas to work for you. There are indications that you have the potential for originating an enterprise that would be very rewarding. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — It’s one of those days when you won’t have to do anything special in order to draw attention to yourself. You’ll be noticed whether you are one among many or the lone person in the room. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Although you may feel that it is better to give than to receive, others may feel you deserve something nice for yourself for all the unselfishness you’ve displayed. It’s your turn to be the getter. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — One of your greatest gifts is the ability to help others envision things as they could be and not just as they are. Today your encouragement will be greatly appreciated by someone special. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Instead of seeking advice from co-workers or associates regarding career or work-related issues, use your own good judgment. You’ll get the right answer if you’re honest with yourself. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Some of the more valuable things we can learn in life may not necessarily come from books but from personal experiences. Today, this kind of knowledge will prove to be invaluable to you. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — When it comes to a joint endeavor, it might be more important to be supportive than assertive. Encourage your counterpart to use his/her abilities to the fullest, and everybody wins. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — One of your greatest assets today will be your spirit of cooperation. A willingness to work agreeably with others will stimulate a similar reaction in return. Togetherness succeeds. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — It should be no surprise that involvements that challenge your imagination and creativity will be the ones you’ll find to be most rewarding, especially if you’re working with one who can’t help. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — When making a decision that affects others as well as yourself, let your compassionate instincts prevail. Sometimes being easy on the situation represents true strength. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Sometimes requirements of those you love may take precedence over your own interests, but today you won’t mind this. In situations where you feel truly needed, no sacrifice will be too great. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Remember, the ability to view things from an unprejudiced perspective will net the most beneficial results, which is likely to be the case for you today. You may be the middleman in a unique situation. Aries (March 21-April 19) — All people are entitled to do something nice for themselves once in a while. If there is something you really want that costs more than you usually spend, get it.

Jay Leno, Obama jockey for laughs at annual dinner WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama poked fun at Jay Leno, the comedian headlining the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, and also made fun of former rival John McCain. Obama dinged Leno as “the only person whose ratings fell more than mine.” Obama also said he was glad he was appearing before Leno. Obama told the 3,000-strong mix of celebrities, elected officials, political appointees and journalists that “we’ve all seen what happens when you take the time slot after Leno.” Comic Conan O’Brien left NBC after his stint hosting the Tonight Show following Leno didn’t work out. The president also noted Sen. McCain’s claim this year that he was not identified as a maverick. Obama quipped “we know what happens in Arizona when you don’t have an ID. ... Adios amigos.” The president’s reference to McCain’s home state of Arizona referred to the new immigration law that local and state law enforcement to question people about their immigration status if there’s reason to suspect they’re in the country illegally. McCain faces a tough reelection fight against a conservative opponent and has distanced himself from the maverick label he once embraced as a presidential candidate. Obama gave a relatively low-key speech and acknowledged the problems facing the Gulf coast after the disastrous BP oil spill. Early in his talk, Obama said that he debated whether he should appear at the dinner

This NASA satellite photo made Thursday shows the oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico as it closes in on the Pass a Loutre area of Plaquemines Parish, La. The massive spill in the Gulf of Mexico threatens migrating birds, nesting pelicans, river otters and mink along Louisiana's fragile islands and barrier marshes.
What went wrong? Oil spill appeared containable, then suddenly a growing crisis CALVIN WOODWARD Associated Press
ASHINGTON — For days, as an oil spill spread in the Gulf of Mexico, BP assured the government the plume was manageable, not catastrophic. Federal authorities were content to let the company handle the mess while keeping an eye on the operation. But then government scientists realized the leak was five times larger than they had been led to believe, and days of lulling statistics and reassuring words gave way Thursday to an allhands-on-deck emergency response.

The search for 11 missing workers overshadowed environmental concerns until they were given up for lost. Rear Adm. Mary Landry, chief of the Coast Guard in the region, said at the outset that most of the oil was burning off, leaving only a moderate rainbow sheen on the water and no sign of a major spill. “Both the industry and the Coast Guard have technical experts actively at work,” she said. “So there’s a whole technical team on both sides of the aisle here to ensure we keep the conditions stable.” Two days later, the Deepwater Horizon sank and crews spotted a massive sheen with a dark center that appeared to be a crude oil mix. Obama got his first briefing on the accident. Landry said the following day that no oil appeared to be leaking from a well head at the ocean floor, nor was any leaking noted at the surface.

ohn Edwards’ former mistress Rielle Hunter can talk all she wants about not being a homewrecker, but she won’t convince Jenny Sanford. While Hunter took her turn last week on “Oprah,” the former South Carolina first lady showed up as a guest co-host on ABC’s “The View.” Sanford — who has some expertise in these matters — said there’s no excuse for getting involved with SANFORD a married man. Hunter is “not 18,” said Sanford. “[She] knew what [she was] doing.” Hunter told Oprah that she didn’t believe a “third party” should be blamed for marital infidelity. “I believe the problems exist before a third party comes into the picture,” she said. “So you don’t think you wrecked his home?” Winfrey asked Hunter. “I do not believe I wrecked his home,” Hunter said. It wasn’t the first time Hunter has disavowed responsibility for the break-up of John and Elizabeth Edwards’ marriage, despite having had a two-year affair with Edwards, which produced a child. She has said the marriage was emotionally over long before she met Edwards when he was a presidential candidate. Meanwhile, having divorced Gov. Mark Sanford over his extramarital excursions in Argentina, Jenny Sanford said she’s now getting out of the house more — and not because she’s hiking the Appalachian Trail. She said she has a new boyfriend, Georgia businessman Clay Boardman. “I’ve been divorced six weeks and I'm already dating someone!” Sanford said. “He’s the neighbor I never knew, and between us we’ve got seven kids.”

It also shows that voters are ready for sound, conservative leadership, which Republicans are offering.” The Republicans reported having more than $270,000 cash on hand at the end of the quarter, with the Democrats reporting under $218,000. • • • Quote of the week: “This land might not have been in our scope, but I think once this piece of property is gone, you’re not going to replace it.” — Spencer Mayor Jody Everhart, who broke a tie vote that will allow the town to partner with the LandTrust for Central North Carolina in trying to preserve a 40-acre tract of wooded land.
Supreme Court lacking in geographical diversity BY MARK SHERMAN Associated Press
ASHINGTON (AP) — Forget liberal vs. conservative justices. The Supreme Court is way out of regional alignment: It’s heavily tilted toward the Northeast corridor and could become even more so as President Barack Obama prepares to fill an upcoming vacancy. Five of the nine justices have strong ties to Boston, New York and central New Jersey. Chief Justice John Roberts is a Midwesterner raised in Indiana, but he went to college and law school at Harvard and
W
has spent his entire professional life in Washington. Even Justice Clarence Thomas, who stresses his Georgia roots, has lived and worked in Washington since 1983. Eight justices have Ivy League law degrees, which explains this joking response when a law student asked Roberts if too many justices came from elite schools. No, the chief justice said, “Some went to Yale.” The only non-Ivy Leaguer, Justice John Paul Stevens, is leaving the court at the end of this term; he graduated from Northwestern. At least three of the known, serious candidates to replace Chicago
native Stevens fit the Northeastern profile: Solicitor General Elena Kagan, appeals court Judge Merrick Garland and Harvard Law School’s dean, Martha Minow. Garland and Minow were born in Chicago. But, unlike Stevens, they studied, worked and lived on the East Coast as adults. Not since the Allegheny Mountains (ranging through Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, and Virginia) were the western frontier of the newly created United States has the high court’s membership been so concentrated. Diversity on the court often is measured by gender, ethnicity, reli-
gion and race, and the current candidates are being assessed by those measures. But there could be some value, both in the politics of the nomination and a familiarity with issues a new justice might bring, in choosing someone who lives far from Interstate 95, the principal north-south route along the Eastern Seaboard. “The impetus to appoint someone from the West is a really good one. Geographical diversity is important on the court. Do you really want water rights issues decided by people from Amtrak’s Northeast corridor?”

VOTE ON TUESDAY
Rowan fate to take shape early 90,000 Rowan Countians have a chance to shape the community’s destiny Tuesday by voting in the primaries. Don’t let this opportunity slip by. Tops in direct local impact are the races for sheriff and the board of commissioners. You can tell how important those races are by how many people are running. For starters, the sheriff’s race has attracted 11 candidates — four Democrats and seven Republicans. The winner of each party’s primary will be on the general election ballot in November. The sheriff doesn’t determine the tax rate or build schools, but little else matters in a community if you lack law and order. The sheriff takes the lead in enforcing the laws of the land. He also is responsible for running the detention center and providing security at the courthouse. The sheriff has a staff of some 200 employees and a budget of about $8.8 million. Who can wisely handle that kind of power — and responsibility? Then there’s the commissioners’ race. The Rowan County Board of Commissioners has only five members, so the three seats up for election this year are pivotal. Will they work well with incumbents Carl Ford and/or Raymond Coltrain? Which way will the majority lean after the November election? The first step toward answering those questions is choosing among the 11 Republicans competing in the primary. The three top vote-getters this spring (a run-off is a possibility) will run against two Democratic candidates this fall. How important should the county commissioners’ race be to the average citizen? Consider this: The board has the power to levy taxes, zone land, appoint boards and fund county agencies that affect everyone’s life — from running the county landfill to recruiting new industry. The commissioners become the county’s public persona; they set the tone for local government. Rowan County’s voter registration is roughly 41 percent Republican, 36 percent Democratic and 22 percent unaffiliated, with a handful of Libertarians. Democratic dominance faded long ago, and unaffiliated voters are a growing force. They, too, can vote in Tuesday’s primaries. They can cast ballots in the N.C. Court of Appeals races, and they can participate in either the Republican or the Democratic primaries — but not both. So there’s a lot at stake, and virtually every registered voter can participate. The primaries are crucial, a big step toward deciding final winners in November. Now’s the time to step up. If you don’t vote, you can’t complain if government doesn’t go your way.

the story. Several people have complained lately that we close comment threads on stories about sex offenders “yet let teenage girls get raked over hot coals for a malt beverage,” as one person put it. The problem with comments on sex-offense stories is two-fold. First, within seconds of such a story appearing online, commenters suggest grisly ways to punish the suspect and/or violently terminate his life. To which you say, “He deserves it.” Maybe so. But the bigger problem is what comes next. Even these suspects have friends. When the friends jump to his defense, their comments often deepen the damage by revealing the identity of the victim, which the Post withholds from publication. They not only reveal the name, they go on to justify the suspect’s actions by blaming the victim in some way. The pattern of behavior is very consistent on this, we have learned — often the hard way. Rather than risk exposing a victim to this kind of abuse, we now take what some consider draconian measures, allowing few to no comments. We’ll take the heat for that. • • • Elizabeth Cook is editor of the Salisbury Post.

9/11. 4/22. The first date most everyone old enough remembers. The second, only a few. So what do they have in common? Well, as Paul Harvey often said, “Here is the rest of the story.” I am writing this in response to the April 26 article “Two teens charged with drinking at school.” One of those teenagers is my daughter. I’d like to tell the rest of the story. Before 4/22, my daughter was an exemplary student. She has maintained a GPA of 4.3 while playing three sports all four years at East Rowan High School. She loves school, her classmates, teachers and coaches. She is involved in many clubs, including Junior Civitans, National Honor Society and the Spanish Club. She
has taken several mission trips, including one to Chile last summer. She has been accepted at several colleges, including Appalachian State, which she was planning to attend this fall. She is ranked 15th in her senior class of 275 students. Our family has taken many camping trips together, including trips to Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. My wife and I have tried to raise our kids to one day become responsible adults. So what happened? Why did this happen? How could this happen to my kids? Why did my son buy the alcohol for them instead of telling my wife and me? All of these are good questions, and I’m still having trouble answering any of them. I believe the battle we are fighting is a spiritual battle. The Bible states in I Peter 5:8: “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may de-
vour.” Satan is trying his best to devour our children through alcohol, drugs and pornography. On 4/22, he won a small victory. Through peer pressure and hanging around the wrong friends, my daughter succumbed to the enemy. Was it the first time she had alcohol? No. Will it be the last? Only time will tell. She has told us adamantly she will never drink again. I believe her. She realizes how she has let many people down, including her parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, pastors, friends, teachers, principals and, most of all, herself. I can’t say I was a perfect teenager, either. I also fell to peer pressure and experimented with alcohol. I would have been in the same situation if I had been caught. I can say that for 22 years now, I have not touched alcohol. Our home has been alcohol free since the time our kids were born. Am I a perfect parent? Certainly not. I have often thought, where did I go wrong? Would a

hug here or an “I love you” there have made a difference? As a parent, I am more than anything disappointed, but I will always love my children, no matter what. In conclusion, what did I want to accomplish by writing this? Maybe just some peace of mind. Maybe there is another family out there going through some of the same things. I do know, as some of the letters my kids at school have written to me, that alcohol destroys families. If there is another student out there who is even considering trying alcohol, learn from my daughter Madalyn’s mistake. You don’t have to ever experiment with alcohol to be accepted by your friends. If you do, you need to find some better friends. So, what do 9/11 and 4/22 have in common? On both days, lives were torn apart. Just like 9/11, people stepped up. We are thankful for the many cards and prayers we have received. Finally, just as on 9/11 our country picked up the pieces and moved forward, our family with God’s help will pick up the pieces and move forward. • • • Frank File lives in Salisbury.

The road to Arizona begins in the Senate ASHINGTON — Many in the media, including my colleagues at The Washington Post, Eugene Robinson and Richard Cohen, have written powerful and appropriate columns decrying the action of the Arizona Legislature and Gov. Jan Brewer in passing and signing a punitive law aimed at illegal immigrants. If the law goes into effect despite promised constitutional challenges, local police in Arizona will be able to stop people they suspect DAVID may not belong here BRODER and require them to produce papers attesting that they are legal citizens. Jail terms for trespassing await anyone without the documentation. The law is every bit as bad as others have said — but it is hardly a surprise. What has been missing from the current discussion is any apparent recognition of those responsible for killing the last effort at comprehensive federal immigration reform that would have headed off the need for this kind of punitive state action. It was only three years ago that the action was stymied by a Senate filibuster and the impatience of Majority Leader Harry Reid to move on to other topics. At the time, Sen. Edward Kennedy, then as always trying to fix the broken system, asked what opponents of the comprehensive legislation that died in June three years ago, were in favor of. “What are they going to do with the 12 million who are undocumented here?” Kennedy demanded to know. “Send them back to countries around the world?

ASHINGTON — Don’t give a dog a bone because it could be harmful, warned the Food and Drug Administration a few days ago. Then the agency suggested we are in for enforced salt limits in our diets. On the same day the Centers for Disease Control warned that adding sugar to food increases the risk of heart disease. When the Upper Big Branch mine in West Virginia exploded April 5, killing 29 ANN miners, after MCFEATTERS years of safety violations, there were calls from outraged Americans demanding to know why the Mine Safety and Health Administration had not prevented the disaster and what it is doing to prevent explosions in other mines. After the Iceland volcano with the unpronounceable name erupted and stranded hundreds of thousands of air passengers for days, there was a demand in Congress for millions of dollars for a new volcano monitoring agency to warn us about the dozens of volcanoes in the United States that could erupt at any time. The Senate is tied up in knots right now over how much new financial regulation is needed to protect investors from bad guys on Wall Street even as Americans are struggling to recover from financial meltdown and pay the bills for huge bailouts. Gun rights advocates successfully blocked the District of Columbia from getting a voting representative in Congress after stripping tough restrictions on gun ownership out of the proposed legislation. Passions already are boiling over President Obama’s next nomination for the Supreme Court and what his or her beliefs about the power and role of government should be. When heart implants and other medical devices inserted in the body fail, should the government decide who is to blame? As everyone knows, this nation has way too much debt and is running a higher deficit nearly every year. But the real costs to worry about are in payments to and for individuals, mainly Social Security, which was supposed to be selfsustaining but no longer is, and Medicare. But even as the Tea Party
people that are in the shadows? What’s their alternative?” Now we know. If it’s not exactly “Gestapo” tactics, the Arizona legislation certainly smacks of policestate methods that inevitably will involve racial profiling of Hispanics, no matter what preventive measures the governor says she will take. The bill that died in Congress had been hammered out over many months by a bipartisan group of senators, including both the Hispanic members of the Senate and both the Republican senators from Arizona. But once the bill hit the floor, it was attacked from both flanks. The most conservative Republicans — Jim DeMint of South Carolina, David Vitter of Louisiana and Jeff Sessions of Alabama — led the assault. They were joined by some civil libertarians and allies of organized labor who were dissatisfied with its protections for guest workers. Democrat Byron Dorgan of North Dakota repeatedly tried to gut the guest worker program before finally succeeding by one vote on his third effort. With Reid showing increasing impatience over a debate that began on May 21, the Senate conducted three cloture votes on June 7 and each time came up short. Carrying out his threat, Reid pulled the bill off the floor, while Minority Leader Mitch McConnell protested. “I think we’re giving up on this bill too soon,” McConnell said. “There are a number of Republicans who are prepared to vote for cloture as soon as they believe their colleagues on this side of the aisle have had a reasonable opportunity to have offered and voted upon amendments they think would improve the bill.” The next week, President George W. Bush journeyed to

Supporters of Arizona’s new immigration law rally at the state Capitol in Phoenix. Capitol Hill and made a personal plea to Senate Republicans to renew the effort. More bipartisan talks ensued and the result was a second bill, this one adding a mandatory $4 billion border security section to the previous provisions centered on tougher enforcement, plus a path to citizenship for the illegal immigrants already living here. But when it came to the floor, cloture again failed, this time by 46-53 — 14 votes short of the 60 it needed. Democrats split 33-15 in
favor of ending the debate while Republicans voted 37-12 to continue talking and amending, and the two independent members split. That ended the last effort by Congress to meet the federal responsibility for managing immigration. The states — not just Arizona but all of them — are illequipped to solve the problem. The blame for this mess rests with those who killed that bill. • • • David Broder’s e-mail address is davidbroder@washpost.com.
21st century inquisition has its own delusions ou always thought the Spanish Inquisition was a thing of the past? Well, hang onto your seats because here comes the atheist 21st century version with Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens leading the cheers for Pope Benedict XVI to be tied to a stake for crimes against humanity as British officials light the fire. No, that’s an exaggeration — what those two want is for the pope to be arrested if he sets foot on British soil, and they point to international law and the supposed abetting of sexual abuse as their excuse. It’s JAY an inquisitorial AMBROSE still reach for all kinds of reasons, not the least of them being that the pope as head of a state, the Vatican, is immune to this sort of arrest. In fact, the whole stunt is unbalanced to the extreme, just as scientist Dawkins’ anti-God crusade has been unbalanced, an almost hysterical screech to have us all come to his faith, which you might suppose is a wholly scientific way of understanding reality except, as one observer notes, science can no more disprove God than prove him. So Dawkins is not so scientific, after all, and when it comes to philosophy. Ouch! This Englishman’s book, “The God Delusion,” was ripped apart by a number of actual philosophers — some of them also atheists — for what they saw as its amateurish way of handling concepts in their field. It was as if someone knowing nothing about science dismissed black holes on the grounds that he had never seen one. But that’s run-of the mill stuff. There are a lot of vacuous books out there. And it’s also to be expected that some scientists, such as Harvard’s late Stephen Jay Gould, thought Dawkins had misstated the role of genes in evolution and was way off base with his ideas about of evolutionary psychology. Maybe Gould was the one who was wrong, though as a Gould fan, I doubt it. What’s not OK is for Dawkins to call the Catholic church “the greatest force for evil in the history of the world” — that’s just lunatic hatred — or to engage with Hitchens, an English-American journalist, in this idiocy protesting the pope’s past worries about defrocking several priests who had faced cases of sexual molestation of children. I am far from applauding the pope for what he once did — it strikes me as very, very wrong on a number of counts — but it also

Count former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as among those who’ve been frustrated by the way government works. movement holds rallies in every state arguing passionately that the federal government spends too much and has gotten out of control, the other question we are asking ourselves is: “What do we want our government to be doing?” If you think the government’s main duty is national defense and protection of our borders and that the bureaucrats in Washington should not be worrying about or regulating issues involving the environment, health, consumer protection, child protection, highway safety, workplace safety or any of the other myriad problems that have arisen over the past two centuries, you will probably vote in November for a candidate who espouses less government. If you think that modern life is too complex to leave individuals without some government oversight, you are probably not a Tea Partier. You are searching for a candidate who will be for preserving most existing federal agencies but who will keep an eye on the deficit and vote down frivolous ways to spend money. It’s a great debate, and there are valid points on both sides. But remember Ronald Reagan, who rode into Washington on a tidal wave of anti-government sentiment. He’s a saint to conservatives and one of the ten most popular presidents. But after campaigning to eliminate the Department of Education, he ended up greatly expanding it. He fought the air traffic controllers, who are stronger than ever. He went to war — against Grenada. He left a large national debt. As frustrating as government can be, it’s hard to change it. Just the other day former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said that after years of holding important jobs in Washington, she was frustrated the entire time by the way government works. So take with a grain of salt all those candidates who vow they will swoop in and change the way business in Washington is done. On second thought, skip the salt, empty the sugar bowl and yank that bone away from Fido. • • • Scripps Howard columnist Ann McFeatters covers the White House and national politics.
Tax revolts are in full force all over America. Of course, no one wants to pay taxes, and no one wants to pay more taxes. Yet, I am amazed at how we Americans willingly pay extra taxes each day. We willingly buy things each day that are completely unneeded, and many of these purchases are taxed at the highest rates. Beer and liquor, cigarettes, soft drinks, entertainments, etc.; these are not necessary but are willingly paid for, highly taxed and some are even harmful. This is a form of voluntary taxation. One of the most obvious of these is the education lottery. People would revolt if the state raised taxes to pay for better education, and yet these same “tax revolt” people go out weekly and buy lottery tickets. They come into stores every week and buy $10 or $20 worth of lottery tickets. That amounts to about $500 to $1,000 yearly. Now, if the government raised their taxes $500 or $1,000 per year, they would rise up in protest and cry that they can’t afford these new taxes. Yet, somehow, they find the money each week to buy lottery tickets and gamble away food money and rent money — money their family needs. Yes, they might win: 600 million to 1 odds for Powerball, 1 million to 1 on others. In a sense, we are all taxed for their gamble because our social service agencies have to help more of these people and their families because of bad habits. The education lottery must not be working, since school districts all over our state are forced to make drastic cuts. This “gamble” is yet another part of former Governor Easley’s questionable legacy. People should revolt against government waste, excesses and corruption. Maybe some people should first look to change their own personal habits of waste, excesses and corruption; a form of “self taxation.” — Gene Bost Rockwell
Breaking God’s laws
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Scientist Richard Dawkins and writer Christopher Hitchens have urged that Pope Benedict XVI be arrested if he enters British territory. seems to me from my reading that his role fell short of actually abetting the molestation and that he has tried to make up for his mistakes with all his heart. It’s also probably worth mentioning what a little digging reveals — that Dawkins has as much as shrugged his shoulders about pedophilia he encountered in English boarding schools. Here’s what I’d like — for Dawkins and those who look up to him to get hold of a terrific book called “The Passion of the Western Mind.” It was written by Richard Tarnas, who informs us how Christianity in the high Middle Ages carried us forward into scientific exploration. The faith embraced the thought that reason was given to us by God and enabled us to understand a world created by God, and that learning more about this world was a Christian responsibility. If discoveries eventually departed from past understandings of the faith, Tarnas says, many scientists nevertheless continued to equate those discoveries with “spiritual awakenings.” He quotes Copernicus as seeing astronomy as “more divine than human.” Kepler thought astronomers “priests of the most high God.” Galileo believed his insights came from God’s grace. Unfortunately, people like Dawkins seem to have their own dogma and are unwilling to consider the extraordinary contributions of Christianity to the human experience. Their anti-religion stance becomes almost a religion itself, not the best of religion, but the worst of how some practitioners have misused it. • • • Jay Ambrose is the former Washington director of editorial policy for Scripps Howard newspapers.

The cohabitation law, formerly called the fornication and adultery law, has been on the books since 1805 in North Carolina and several other states. Why hasn’t this law been enforced? Simply because, just like with other laws which are broken, everyone looks the opposite direction to let the guilty parties slide on by free and clear. All laws should be enforced. In 2005, the Salisbury Post published an article stating there were 144,000 unmarried couples shacking up and breaking this law. In this same article, a pastor made the following comment: “I think the state’s got better things to do than try to dictate people’s private lives to that degree.” Yes, the state may have better things to do, but that doesn’t excuse the pastor’s attitude about the situation. All pastors, preachers and the like are supposed to be teaching about the 10 Commandments and God’s words, which are written in the Holy Bible. Any pastor who accepts this type of behavior among unmarried couples engaged in a sexual relationship, be it living together or in separate homes, should give up their pastorship. Fornication and adultery are works of the flesh, and whosoever commits these sins will not inherit the kingdom of God. They are breaking God’s laws, which are more important than manmade laws. — Ellie Mae Lambert Salisbury

SALISBURY POST
CONTINUED
Abortion’s route to being rare ASHINGTON -- When Bill Clinton said in 1992 that he wanted to make abortion safe, legal and rare, many Americans applauded. Even if one dismisses this as rhetoric, it is a sentiment shared by the large middle and provides nearly everyone a thread of hope. But how does one get to "rare" in a sexualized world where choice is a sacrament? The only plausible answer is through education, but of what KATHLEEN should that education PARKER consist? Most everybody over the age of 10 knows how to apply a condom these days. And moral education — the kind that might suggest remorse over the ending of a life — is frowned upon. My own view, both pro-life and pro-choice, has been that abortion truthfully presented would eliminate itself, or vastly reduce its numbers. Once a pregnancy is viewed as a human life in formation, rather than a “blob of cells,” it is less easy to terminate the contents of one's vessel. An unwanted pregnancy isn't any less inconvenient, but humanizing a fetus confounds the simplicity of choice. Alternatively, dehumanizing as a means of justifying an action from which we prefer to avert our eyes is a well-traveled road that history does not view charitably. Such considerations recently have taken the form of legislation in several states where lawmakers want women considering an abortion first to view an ultrasound. Oklahoma passed a law a few days ago that would require women to have an ultrasound, though, contrary to early reports, they are not required to view the images. Florida passed its own

The crisis began with a massive explosion aboard the drilling rig Deepwater Horizon on April 20, more than 40 miles off the Louisiana coast.
SPILL FROM 1D back off on the president's recent decision to support expanded offshore drilling. Throughout the previous week and into this one, the government was deferring to BP on what was being done at the site and on assessments of progress. The Coast Guard was not doing its own independent, firsthand assessment of the seabed rupture. Landry repeatedly asserted that BP was the responsible party and would shoulder the costs and organizational duties associated with the cleanup effort while the Coast Guard monitored things and approved the numbers of vessels working the scene and the methods of control. On Monday, Landry offered assurances that the Gulf Coast should be safe. "This is ample time to protect sensitive areas and pre-

pare for cleanup should the oil impact this area,” she said. And at sea, BP officials were “doing their best.” On Wednesday night, she reported the findings of federal experts that up to 5,000 barrels a day were leaking from the well. BP had estimated only 1,000. As well, the company told the Coast Guard a new leak had been found. Obama was briefed on these developments on Air Force One while returning at night from the Midwest. By Thursday afternoon, the White House had assembled a team of top advisers to showcase the administration’s determination to head off the damage posed by the oil slick. And Gibbs acknowledged details of the president’s drilling proposal might be revisited, depending on the investigation into the rig explosion and spill. The equation had changed, like a hurricane setting a new course.
legislation on Friday, and Louisiana is considering a similar bill. Reaction to the Oklahoma law has been predictable. Pro-lifers think it’s too weak; pro-choicers think it’s untenably intrusive. Were women required to view the image of their fetus, I would have to side with the prochoicers on this point. It is still vexing that a woman must deliberately look away from the image, which adds some heft to the intrusive argument and could be viewed as intimidation. That said, I can’t muster outrage over what can be viewed as both medically pragmatic and morally defensible.
I can’t muster outrage over what can be viewed as both medically pragmatic and morally defensible A well-informed patient should always be our route to safe and legal. Is it unacceptable that a life-preserving decision might result from greater knowledge? Anyone considering, say, gall bladder removal will be told each and every detail of what will happen, what is likely to be the result, what consequences might be expected, and so on. Doesn’t it make as much sense to provide women with a view of what’s going on inside their bodies before they take the leap that can’t be undone? Obviously, pro-lifers are trying to curb abortions through this legislation. The pro-life Bioethics Defense Fund drafted Louisiana's S.B. 528 at the request of its sponsor, state Sen. Sharon Broome, and the Louisiana Right to Life Federation. Call it a tactic, if you will. But is a woman’s
changed heart such a terrible result? Wouldn’t such a result bring welcome numbers to the “rare” in Clinton’s equation? In testimony before the Louisiana Senate Health and Welfare Committee, post-abortive women recounted being told they were ridding themselves of “tissue,” only to learn later, often during an ultrasound with a subsequent pregnancy, that they had destroyed a fully formed fetus. Based on my own conversations with postabortive women, this is a common event and is often the point at which formerly pro-choice women switch sides. The testimony in Louisiana included the story of one woman who suffered both physical and emotional trauma after an abortion. She didn’t see an ultrasound, but did see the remnants of her abortion on a tray beside her and was told “they” had been twins. Well, enough of that. We all know what abortion is and, thanks to some of the sign-toting anti-abortion protesters — who do their cause no good — we know what abortion looks like. Shouldn’t pregnant women also know what their healthy fetus looks like before they hit delete? This is a question lacking in sinister intent. What is sinister is the proposition that ignorance is better — and the implied hope that women won't choose to reconsider. I can’t speak to the efficacy of these bills. Let the doctors and lawyers hash that out. But as an advocate for informed choice, I can’t rationalize ignorance or denial as preferable options for women in need of sound counseling. Or for a nation that wants to make abortion rare. • • • Kathleen Parker’s e-mail address is kathleenparker@washpost.com.

ontinuing a theme of environmental awareness, and wrapping that theme with varieties of danger, Rose Senehi has a new novel, “The Wind in the Woods.” Don’t let the cover deceive you, though. The boy isn’t the one facing a sick serial killer. That boy has his own demons — just a much tamer bunch. Dubbed a romantic thriller, the book does have thriller elements, and a couple of romances, but the main character, as Senehi points out in her acknowledgements, is a children’s camp in the North Carolina mountains. The danger the camp faces is encroachment by developers when an elderly neighbor decides to sell his property. Camp Green River has Tiger Morrison as its No. 1 defender. Tiger, who owns the camp, is a widower. His daughter, Sammy, loves the place as much as he does and is ready to take over when Tiger retires. At the camp, they try to treat kids who suffer from nature deficit, and that’s where Alvin, the over-protected only child of a nervous, well-educated mother, comes in. The only thing worse than reality is her imagination. It makes tense moments for Alvin and his father as they all head to camp, hoping Mom will let go long enough for Alvin to have a little fun. A lot of the book is about Alvin making it at camp — trudging along the challenging hikes, making new friends, trying to fit in as the resident skinny, geek kid. It’s a relief he isn’t targeted by the killer who opens and closes the novel. Senehi lets the
kids be kids — though even the bullies are pretty well-behaved. Alvin and his new friend, the supergeek Tucker (for the talent show he recites 200 digits of pi), do have a scary episode off the trail, but they handle it pretty well. The author uses the camp and its activities to explain the need for clean water, natural habitat and care for the earth and all its wonders. Tiger and Sammy talk about it, too, showing that all ages must get in-
volved. The romance comes in first with Tiger and his longtime girlfriend, Liz, fighting about the camp. She hates it. Everything about it. She wants him to sell it and travel with her. It’s a little unclear why Tiger would have been attracted to her in the first place — but she’s pretty and dresses well and he seems to be the kind of guy who looks for that. Sammy, who has recently broken an engagement, gets an
OK from her dad to date one of the mentors at camp, Patrick. After one date, they decide to get married. That courtship is faster than the rapids on the river. One of many subplots is about Katie, a teacher who cooks at camp in the summer. Her drinking, gambling, embarrassing husband steals all the money from their children’s college fund and earns a well-deserved dumping. Almost immediately, Tiger realizes the woman he loved years ago and lost is now available and there’s another lightning fast courtship, the obligatory obstacle and a heartfelt make-up. The book opens with a creepy guy killing two 70-something likeable women on a hike. Then he and their bodies disappear for a while. When he shows up again, he stalks one of the major characters and ends up kidnapping another. But don’t worry, the book isn’t really about slickly evil serial killer Gary Skinner. He’s just a scary subplot. Senehi has done plenty of research, according to her acknowledgements. She visited several camps and says 2010 marks the 100th anniversary of camps in the Hendersonville/Brevard area, “which contains the highest concentration of camps in the United States.” She uses the heartbreaking true story of John and Irene Bryant, a couple who was murdered while hiking in Pisgah National Forest in 2007, as her inspiration for the hiking story. Her killer is based on Gary Michael Hilton, who confessed to murdering Meredith Emerson in the northern Georgia mountains in 2008. He remains the sole suspect in the Bryants’ death, as well. Senehi will be at Literary Bookpost in downtown Salisbury on Friday, May 7, 7-9 p.m. to talk and sign her books.
Sandi Ault creates another wild ride in series “Wild Penance,” by Sandi Ault. Berkley Prime Crime. 2010. 297 pp. $24.95. BY ARTHUR STEINBERG For Salisbury Post
andi Ault’s “Wild Penance” involves education and mystery. The author, a resident of the American West, uses her knowledge to weave a tale portraying custom and realism to bring the reader into her web. As the story unfolds, the reader is treated to numerous panoramas of New Mexico’s rural areas. For those who have read Ault’s previous works, they will find this is the best of her offerings. The novel is easy to read. Her cast of characters is not hard to follow and is entertaining. Spanish terms are replete, as are their definitions, many of which illustrate the story’s environment. The heroine, Jamaica, works for the Bureau of Land Management. She spends her days riding the management’s boundaries and camps occasionally at night, rather than returning to her cabin. Her companion is her horse. In fulfilling her duties, she witnesses
S
an event that is the core of the story and introduces a collection of characters unusual to North Carolinians. The Los Penitentes, a secret religious order excommunicated by the pope, is central to the novel’s development. Its origins stem from the early Spanish conquistadors who believed their salvation could only come from reenacting the death of Jesus. They find salvation in pain by replicating Jesus’ pain, and the order uses cruelty, violence and secrecy. The clash with the secrecy of the Los Penitentes comes when Jamaica attempts to discover the reason for someone tied to a cross jumping over a bridge. Her journey involves someone trying to kill her in a lingerie show, and a priest, Father Ignacio Medina, warning her not to delve into the order’s conduct. Her medicine teacher, Momma Anne, offers puzzling admonitions for and about her regarding her safety. Contrary to Medina’s suggestions, Jamaica continues writing and producing drawings for a book that depicts something of the history of the small religious group, the Penitentes.
Don’t be scared of insects, learn all about them BY REBECCA HYDE Rowan Public Library
Sonia Dourlot (“Insect Museum”) provides an engaging introduction to the study of insects. The “little beasts” share our daily routines. They are plentiful and widespread. Our ignorance is at the core of our fears surrounding them. And we should become familiar with their behavior because they play a very important ecological role. The following books offer understanding and appreciation of insects that you may see in your garden or in someone else’s. May you then step lightly and spend more time close to the ground. With descriptions of 114 species of insects and other arthropods and full-page color images, Dourlot’s “Insect Museum” demonstrates the beauty and complexity of that world. Encounter close up the lovely damselfly and the social southern brown wood ant. For a grand overview of the insect world, see Stephen A. Marshall’s “Insects: Their Natural History and Diversity.” The book is based on material collected for a third-year entomology course. It covers all the major insect families but focuses on the common ones of eastern North America.
With this book, you can be a student of insects of the world, or leaf through the illustrated picture keys to identify a backyard discovery. Read the author’s preface, “An Overview of Six-legged Life,” and the Introduction, What is an insect?” You’ll understand why “if insects are worth getting to know as an enemy of humankind, they are even more worthy of attention as our benefactors.” For an “entomophile” view of the insect world, there are the autobiographies of Thomas Eisner and E.O. Wilson. Eisner’s “For Love of Insects” is both a memoir of a life in the field and an appreciation of the insect world. Eisner knew he was passionately interested in insects and genuinely interested in chemistry. His encounter with the bombardier beetle was his lucky break. He “struck gold,” for the beetle is a champion chemist. That discovery led to a career focusing on chemical communication in insects and other arthropods. Edward O. Wilson has collaborated with Eisner through the years and calls his friend a world-class biologist and an exceptional naturalist. He’s also an exceptional photographer. Eisner is a professor of chemical ecology at Cornell. Wilson (“Naturalist”) never
grew out of his bug period as a child. And two early events, the spine of a pinfish and hearing loss in the upper registers, made him an entomologist, with his surviving eye turned to the ground committed to celebrating the little things of the world. How is a naturalist created? A child comes to the edge of deep water with a mind prepared to wonder. Hands-on experience, not systematic knowledge, is what counts. As he grows older, complicated details and context from his culture are added, but the core image stays intact. Wilson views himself as the “nominal founder” of sociobiology, and in his later years, “a civilized hunter,” in the field, studying the ants of the West Indies, island by island. He feels the same emotions he had as a teenage student, when his ambition was to be this kind of scientist. It is curious that in the “Naturalist,” Wilson writes “one does not need to make ants protagonists of a novel to bring them deserved attention.” His novel, “Anthill,” was published in April.

Wouk’s thoughts on God, atheism meander but have some charm “The Language God Talks: On Science and Religion,” by Herman Wouk. Little, Brown and Co. 180 pp. $23.99. BY DINESH RAMDE Associated Press
Herman Wouk makes a compelling argument against the existence of God, although that may not have been his intent. In “The Language God Talks,” the Pulitzer Prize winner addresses the divide between science and religion. He considers arguments for and against the existence of God, but his defense of religion is roundabout and marginally persuasive while his defense of agnosticism or atheism is more stout. Wouk is the author of “The Winds of War” and “War and Remembrance.” Both tomes focus heavily on the Holocaust. Those events were so terrible, and Wouk’s emotional investment in his research so deep, that a nephew wondered aloud how Wouk could believe in a God who would allow the Holocaust to happen. This book is part of Wouk’s response. In it he recounts his lifelong efforts to reconcile his deep faith with the logic of science. The results are a pleasure to read. He digresses frequently, not quite rambling but occasionally lapsing into
charming detours. Yet even when he’s off-topic, his writing is so elegant that readers will still enjoy being along for the ride. Wouk’s argument for agnosticism begins with a simple but detailed look at the history of astrophysics. He traces a sequence of discoveries, each of which finds that the universe is much larger than previously thought. Then he shares how the findings influenced the views of Richard Feynman, a feisty scientist who helped develop the atomic bomb. Most religions suggest that God created the world so he could watch humans struggle with good and evil and judge accordingly, Feynman says. But if that’s true, the Nobel laureate adds, God would have made a universe just big enough to carry out that single purpose. Instead we have an incomprehensibly huge universe with more worlds than we could ever know. As Feynman notes: “The stage is too big for the drama.” The logic, as Wouk presents it, comes across as reasonable. Wouk includes other thoughtful arguments as well.

For example, he focuses heavily on how he came to write his other two books, in stories that have little to do with science or religion. He leaves the balance of his argument to an afterpiece. It’s an excerpt from “War and Remembrance” in which a protagonist gives an impassioned sermon to fellow Jews who know they’re destined for concentration camps. The sermon is Wouk’s writing at its best — chilling, eloquent, brilliant. But it’s also cryptic. The protagonist recounts the parable of Job, speaking with such passion that he leaves his listeners entranced. But it may be less clear to Wouk’s readers how the sermon proves the existence of God. While the book’s subtitle, “On Science and Religion,” suggests an academic discussion, the book is something else altogether. It seems to be a compilation of Wouk’s deeper thoughts in his 94-year lifetime, some touching on the main theme, some not. There’s still quite the charm in that.

Contested judicial races on primary ballot R the state Court of Appeals and one justice to the state Supreme Court. Two contested primaries will be held to whittle the nonpartisan races down to two candidates for the fall. Court of Appeals Judge Ann Marie Calabria faces two challengers, Superior Court Judge Mark Klass and District Court Judge Jane Grey, in a bid to keep her seat on the court. Calabria has been on the court since 2003. Prior to her election, she was a District Court Judge in Wake County. She previously practiced law in Cary and Fayetteville, and worked for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Klass, who lives in Lexington, has been a Superior Court judge since 1999. He previously worked both as a private practice lawyer and as an assistant district attorney.
Gray, who lives in Raleigh, has been a Wake County District Court judge since 2002. She worked in the state Attorney General’s office for 18 years and as general counsel to the House speaker for two years. In the other contested primary, Court of Appeals Judge Rick Elmore faces three challengers — state Supreme Court clerk Steven Walker, Hillsborough lawyer Leto Copeley and Lillington lawyer Alton Bain. Elmore has been on the Court of Appeals since 2003. Prior to his election, he was a private practice lawyer in Greensboro. Walker has been clerk for state Supreme Court Justice Ed Brady since 2005, his first position after getting his law license that same year. Copeley has worked as a private practice lawyers since 1998 and is a graduate

ALEIGH — In recent years, North Carolina’s system for choosing judges has been alternately praised and condemned. The praise comes from those impressed with the state’s 2002 reforms for electing appellate court judges, changes that allowed candidates to qualify for public financing. SCOTT date, MOONEYHAM theTo reforms have largely prevented larges sums of special interest money from pouring into races for the North Carolina Court of Appeals and North Carolina Supreme Court. Other states have had a different experience, seeing huge amounts dumped into court races, often by groups interested in the outcome of cases decided by the judges up for election. The condemnation is aimed at the fact that North Carolina even holds judicial elections. Many people who work in the legal community want a system of judicial appointment, arguing that the reforms do nothing to improve voters’ knowledge of the judicial candidates whom they elect. When it comes to the outcome of judicial races, there’s plenty of evidence suggesting that gender and ballot position are more important than qualifications. But less political will to change the system exists today than a decade ago, when state legislators regularly debated the issue. This year, North Carolinians will elect four judges to

Italy, most notably — and the eurozone financial exchanges as well. Said the chief investment officer of a leading securities firm in Athens: “There is a very serious risk of contagion, it’s something like postLehman period. Everybody is panicking and there is a lot of fear in the market.” It says something, probably not good, that the 2008 bankruptcy of U.S. investment bank Lehman Brothers is being invoked two years later in Greece to terrify European bankers into action. Grudgingly, the other EU countries agreed to a 45 billion euro bailout scheme that might buy Greece a year, maybe even three, of time. Most grudging of all was Germany, where the bailout is extremely unpopular. As one German formulation goes, “Why should I work until 67 so the Greeks can retire at 62?” Chancellor Angela Merkel faces regional elections on May 9 and would like to cut any agreement on bailouts as close as possible to the elections. If she cuts it too close, you might get your shot at the Parthenon. Even then Greece may not be in the clear. There is substantial doubt whether the government has the will and

On May 19, Greece must make good on 8.5 million euros’ worth of debt repayments. Thanks to what one financial publication called a mixture of waywardness and mendacity, Greece DALE do it. MCFEATTERS can’t Even before its bond status was downgraded to junk this past week, Greece had difficulty borrowing. At one point, the interest rate on its two-year bonds was 23 percent, and lenders thought, rightly, that there was little hope the cradle of democracy would be in shape to repay that money. Greece is a member of the European Union. The EU requires its members to observe limits on budget deficits, which some members do better than others. Thanks to generous public works spending, public-employee salaries and perks and feisty unions, Greece didn’t do well at all. Moreover, the government lied about the size of its deficit and the debt it was running up. Greece is also a member of the eurozone, meaning it shares a common currency, the euro, with the rest of Europe. That precludes it from dealing with the debt the way the more feckless of nations have traditionally done — run the printing presses. That meant Athens had to go hat in hand to the EU and the International Monetary Fund and ask for a bailout. Letting the market for Greek debt tank might take other financially parlous countries with it — Portugal, Spain and

Back to the baby juggle
Recycle chic
pparently, caring for a baby just comes back to you. My childcare skills felt a bit rusty as I traveled to Portland, Ore. recently to babysit my 4-month-old niece Lola. My youngest child will turn 7 soon, and I thought I’d mostly forgotten the tricks and techniques that new parents acquire as they learn how to hold an infant while washing dishes and talking on the phone, or how to change a diaper while making the EMILY bizarre faces and bathroom FORD sounds that kindgarteners perfect on the playground. But I was juggling the baby with household chores and making fart noises in no time. I’d visited Portland when Lola was born. During this trip, however, Laura and Josh were back at work. Just Lola and me. We got to know each other quickly. I learned that Lola loves the outdoors, takes her bottle best while reclined against my stomach, prefers moving up and down as opposed to side to side and really would rather not nap at all, thank you. Lola learned that I would do whatever it took to make her happy. That included finding a way to put her to sleep: tight swaddle, baby on the shoulder, deep knee bends and several verses of the “Alphabet Song,” “Baa, Baa, Black Sheep” and “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” (which all share the same melody, by the way). I can hear you singing. When Lola was born, Laura and Josh added a room to their house, which now measures a ginormous 600 square feet. I know, it’s disappointing when followers of the small-house movement sell out for a McMansion. Because the upstairs is basically a loft with no doors, everyone whispers after 8 p.m. This was especially challenging when my sister Merilee and her husband, Gabriel, arrived. Merilee doesn’t speak, she laughs. Just about all the time. So when Lola had finally fallen asleep and Josh accidentally knocked a stainless steel water bottle into the sink while attempting to hug Gabriel, we were like children in church. I managed the silent open-mouthed laugh with difficulty, but I had just consumed a chocolate which left a remnant so large that it appeared I’d lost a front tooth. We erupted. Somehow, that baby stayed asleep. Perhaps all the laughter in the house inspired her. My father, who arrived a few days later for his week of babysitting, simply leaned over the changing table, and Lola burst into a fit of glorious giggles. While I find my father handsome, something about his glasses or goatee or voice struck Lola as so hilarious that she laughed for more than a minute. She thought Grandpa was sidesplittingly, gut-bustingly funny. My quick-footed sister grabbed the camera and captured the moment on video. (It helps when your house is so small that pretty much everything is within arm’s reach.) Tell me, what sound contains more joy, more hope, more innocence, than a baby’s laughter? The video should be required viewing for everyone, everywhere, everyday. What a wonderful world this would be.

TRACY RATLIFF/CATAWBA COLLEGE
Sarah Moore created ‘Beach Day’ and used aluminum, newspaper and plastic bags to construct it.
Used materials star in Recycled Fashion Show at Catawba utfits made of Hershey Kisses wrappers, Styrofoam packing peanuts, bubble wrap, tinfoil, old record albums and used CDs and DVDs? These outfits aren’t high fashion, perhaps, but they’re definitely green fashion. The five outfits were all part of the Recycled Fashion Show, held at Catawba College’s Cannon Student Center April 21, sponsored by Environment Catawba Outreach. The first-place outfit was created and modeled by Sarah Moore of Mocksville. Moore called her creation “Beach Day” and used aluminum, newspaper and plastic bags to construct it. Second place was a Glenda, the Good Witch of the Earth outfit, created by Erin Blalock of Denver out of materials she recovered from all over campus, including bubble wrap, packing peanuts, and stars fashioned from cereal boxes and covered with candy wrappers. The thirdplace creation was crafted by Claire Robinson of Houston, Texas, and modeled by Annabelle Prince of Charlotte. Robinson’s inspirations were warm spring days and clear blue skies. She used pages from old issues of Time Magazine, a white garbage bag, green plastic Sprite bottles for accessories and packing tape. The winners received gift certificates to area businesses. Other contestants included June McDowell of Dallastown,
O
Pa., sporting a Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz outfit that featured ruby red slippers covered with red foil from handfuls of Valentine’s Day Hershey Kisses, and Faron Brazis of Salisbury, wearing a creation she dubbed “The Sound,” designed by re-purposing used CDs and DVDs. Emcee Kendrick Mayes, a Catawba junior from Fayetteville, introduced the outfits and their models. He also laid out the rules the contestants had to follow. The clothing modeled must have been made from recycled materials and should have been held together by adhesives or tape, staples or thread. The don’ts included not covering or using pre-existing clothing, not using fresh items as materials and not buying materials to make an outfit. Environment Catawba Outreach, or ECO, is the campus environment club. It strives to educate and encourage the Catawba community and the local region to be good stewards of the planet by promoting environmentally sound habits and techniques. ECO works closely with the Center for the Environment and other clubs on campus to raise environmental awareness and plan events and community service opportunities. Membership is open to all students. The 20092010 president of ECO is Sarah Robinson of Cartersville, Va. Faculty advisor for the organization is Dr. Sue Calcagni.
