Osama bin Laden is dead Terrorist mastermind killed by U.S. Special Forces

associated press

celebrations erupt outside the White House as word spreads that osama bin Laden was killed during a raid in pakistan.

Despite infamy, legacy will last in global affairs he most intense manhunt in history finally caught up with Osama bin Laden, but his life’s story will be told many different ways by different people. Reviled in the West as the personification of evil, bin Laden was admired and even revered by some fellow Muslims who embraced his vision of unending jihad against the United States and Arab governments he deemed as infidels. Bin Laden’s money and preaching inspired the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, which killed almost 3,000 people in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania and forever ripped a hole in America’s feeling of security in the world. His actions set off a chain of events that led the United States into wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and a clandestine war against extreme Islamic adherents that touched scores of countries on every continent but Antarctica. America’s entire intelligence apparatus was overhauled to counter the threat of more terror attacks at home. Bin Laden was killed in an operation led by the United

States, President Barack Obama said Sunday. A small team of Americans carried out the attack and took custody of bin Laden’s remains, Obama said. Bin Laden’s al-Qaida organization has also been blamed for the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa, which killed 231 people, and the 2000 attack on the USS Cole, which killed 17 American sailors in Yemen, as well as countless other plots, some successful and some foiled. Perhaps as significant was his ability — even from hiding — to inspire a new generation of terrorists to murder in his name. Most of al-Qaida’s top lieutenants have been killed or captured in the years since Sept. 11, 2001, and intelligence officials in Europe and Asia say they now see a greater threat from homegrown radical groups energized by bin Laden’s cause. Al-Qaida is not thought to have provided logistical or financial support to the group of North African Muslims who pulled off the March 11, 2004, bombings in Madrid, Spain —

WASHINGTON (AP) — Osama bin Laden, the glowering mastermind behind the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks that murdered thousands of Americans, was killed in an operation led by the United States, President Barack Obama said Sunday. “Justice has been done,” said the president in a dramatic late-night announcement at the White House. A small team of Americans killed bin Laden in a firefight Sunday at a compound in Pakistan, the president said, and took custody of his remains. American officials said they were being handled in accordance with Islamic tradition. A jubilant crowd gathered outside the White House as word spread of bin Laden’s death after a global manhunt that lasted nearly a decade. Former President George W. Bush, who was in office on the day of the attacks, issued a written statement hailing bin Laden’s death as a momentous achievement. “The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done,” he said.

Online reactions ‘“This is Obama’s ‘mission accomplished.’ May energize terror networks to strike, but the euphoria will be for several days/weeks.’” — Michael Bitzer, Catawba College “Thank goodness! The American people can breathe a little easier tonight ... may the victims of 9-11 now rest in peace.” — Martha Bolmon “Saw on the news that Osama Bin Laden is dead...facebook confirms. Guess that war was worth it, huh liberals???? Now, let’s finish the job...” — Timothy G. Livengood:

Staff Sgt. Donnie Shue is finally home BY JOANIE MORRIS For the Salisbury Post

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. — John 15:13 ANNAPOLIS — Chaplain J.R. Lorenzen of the U.S. Army stationed in Fort Bragg closed his eyes in a short prayer as motorcycles made the turn into Carolina Memorial Park. His lips moved silently, reverence lit his face. The crowd stood, silently, some saluting, others with hands placed over their hearts. All hats were removed out of respect for the soldier being laid to rest. After more than 40 years, Sgt. 1st Class Donald “Donnie” Monroe Shue was home. Shue, an Army Green Beret, was serving with two others when they went missing on a

mission Nov. 3, 1969. Shue, Staff Sgt. William Brown and Staff Sgt. Gunther Wald were last seen wounded 30 miles inside Laos, near Ban Chakevy Tai in Saravane Province. According to military documents, Shue and the other two men — as well as several men who escaped — were attached to a unit performing highly classified maneuvers throughout Southeast Asia. The men were later identified as being members of the MACV-SOG — Military Assistance Command-Vietnam, Studies and Observation Group. It was only 40 steps, escorted with Green Beret pallbearers stationed out of Fort Bragg, that separated Shue from his final resting place in his home soil. As the Green Berets respectfully carried Shue to his grave at Carolina Memorial Park, bagpipes played.

KANNAPOLIS — Nick Di Benedetto first met Donald Monroe Shue in 1966. He was in the United States, a young man from Rome, Italy, touring. The family that had sponsored him took him to visit a coffee shop. There, he met a young man named Donnie who was not put off by his broken English. They talked, and met again the next day. “It happened just like that,” said Di Benedetto. “I really did like that young man.” The young Italian talked extensively with Shue, and at one point, the subject turned to the war with Vietnam. “I remember asking him about what he thought about the war in Vietnam,” said Di Benedetto, who recalls parts, but not all, of the conversations with Shue since he only partly understood English. “He looked at me with a strange smile. That I recall very well.” He bid Shue ciao and went home. He

YESTERDAY: Early 1900s class Frances Rufty Barnhardt submitted this photograph and says it may represent children from Nazareth Children’s Home who were attending Crescent Academy. Her father-in-law, M.C. Barnhardt Sr., is the teacher in the middle of the group of boys and girls. He was a 1905 graduate of Crescent Academy, and the photograph was probably taken a few years later. Crescent Academy was a typical forerunner in its day to public high schools and junior colleges, hitting its peak in 1906-07 with a paid enrollment of 250 students. About 2,000 students would attend the Crescent Academy from its beginning on Aug. 9, 1896, until the increase in public high schools by 1913 made it unnecessary. The Rev. J.M.L. Lyerly and his wife were founders of both the Crescent Academy and Nazareth’s Children Home, which dates back to 1906.

Spring means it’s time for toning Q. I have worked out hard and my body fat is low. I am very happy with my body except that I feel that my legs are just not as tight as I want them to be. Which exercises can I do to tighten them up? A. Yes, the weather has been nice and the shorts are coming out of the closet. This is the time when you really notice your legs looking different from the summer before. The older we get, the more our skin changes. ActuESTER ally, I call it “sag.” MARSH When you pull your skin up everything looks great. Or lying on your back with your legs up in the air works, too. Out of personal experience when I just gain a couple of pounds I notice a change in my skin especially on my legs. I try to watch what I eat and exercise reg-

ularly. Personally, running, yoga and Pilates, a strength workout, works well to keep the legs (and of course the rest of the body) nice and tight. A good range for women is between 15 percent and 25 percent and for men 10 percent to 15 percent. Now, you can really try to get your body fat lower, working out harder, but you also have to live. You want to enjoy life. Some wise person once told me that if you don’t eat anything bad and do everything you are supposed to do life sure seems longer. Are you willing to give up treats to get to a lower percent and maybe (not sure) have tighter legs? The lowest I have ever been was 6 percent body fat. That is very low for a man, but for a female it’s super low. It was in 1990 at the AAU Ms America in Chicago. I got fourth. My upper body was ripped, my legs were cut and my butt was still round.

Special forces training exercise under way FORT BRAGG (AP) — About 100 members of a special forces class at Fort Bragg will put their war skills to the test during the annual two-week training exercise known as Robin Sage. The demonstration began Saturday and is the final test for soldiers training to become part of the Army’s Special Forces. The exercise is designed to teach students unconventional military tactics in communications, movement, combat and medical aid skills. Robin Sage activities will take place over a 15-county area stretching from Davidson and Cabarrus counties on the west to Hoke and

Scotland counties on the east. Trainees will wear distinctive armbands when dressed as civilians and individuals role-playing as law enforcement officers will wear distinctive hats and armbands. About 200 soldiers will act as opposing forces and freedom fighters during the exercise.

If you do not lift weights definitely start a weight-lifting program today. If you do better in a class setting Bodypump or Power flex can do the trick. If you can’t run, an elliptical, bike (or bike class) or swimming can be great for your cardio workout. And there are many different level yoga and Pilates workouts available Great exercises for the legs are: lunges, squats, leg press, leg extensions and leg curls, you can do two sets of 15 reps or three sets of 10 to 12 reps. All I do know is that your skin changes when you get older. You have to work a lot harder to look good and eat a whole lot less (and better).

Church celebrates King James Version of Bible BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

SALISBURY — Members of Friendship Baptist Church took a step back in time Sunday in celebration of the 400th anniversary of the King James Version of the Bible. More than 160 people attended the service where men donned denim overalls and women wore bonnets, hats and old-timey dresses. “I was very glad to see so many people here,” church member Lynn Welch said. “The dressing up is fun, but it’s the reason behind it that I want to get across.” Welch said she has a strong personal connection to the King James Bible. “I believe on it and in it,” she said. “Unlike other versions, it doesn’t change.” Each Sunday, Pastor Jason Pierce uses scripture from the King James Bible as part of his sermon. He said the church spent months preparing for the celebration. “The only thing that would be bigger than this one is another 100 years,” he said. Pierce said the anniversary marks the first time the Bible was made available to the masses. “It allowed the common man to own the Bible in a language that he understood,” he said. “He no longer had to rely on a priest to translate it.” Pierce said the King James Bible was the springboard to the composition of other modern translations. “Every great evangelical’s work started with the King James version,” he said. Church member Denise Watkins said the King James Bible is also an important part of United States history. “I think that our religious freedom is based on the King James Bible,” she said. “If it hadn’t been for the King James Bible and our forefathers we wouldn’t have the freedom to worship like we do today.” During the service Sunday, Pierce and his

SALISBURY — City Manager David Treme will present the proposed city budget and a housing task force will make recommendations when Salisbury City Council meets Tuesday. At the 4 p.m. meeting in City Hall, Treme and city staff will suggest ways to close a $2.7 million budget gap for the next fiscal year, which begins July 1. Treme has said he’s considering reductions in staff, services, operating expenses and capital projects. The city already has laid off four people and paid others to take early retirement. The city’s current tax rate is 59 cents per $100 of valuation. However, due to the recent revaluation, the city would need to increase its tax rate next year by 5.2 cents to bring in the same amount of revenue from property taxes. A new tax rate of 64.2 cents would be “revenue neutral,” meaning the city would neither lose nor gain revenue. Council will vote on the budget in June. Also Tuesday, the Advisory Committee on Better Housing and Neighborhood Stabilization will recommend that Council create a housing commission to promote neighborhood health, fair housing and better relationships between tenants and landlords. But the committee will stop short of recommending a controversial rental-property registry, as well as required inspections of rental property. The committee will suggest establishing a Code Enforcement Board to hear administrative reviews as part of minimum housing standards violations. Also on the agenda, Council will: • Consider an agreement to transfer the China Grove water and sewer system to the city of Salisbury. • Consider approving the Water Shortage Response Plan. • Hear Community Development Block Grant estimates, a 23 percent decrease from this year. • Consider proposed Jersey City intersection improvements. • Receive an update from staff regarding the Pearl Street, Tower Drive and Davis Street at-grade railroad crossing.

Artists show off their equine paintings at Equutour 2011 BY SARAH CAMPBELL

Pierce and his wife, lena, donated it to Friendship baptist Church. wife, Lena, made a gift to the church to mark the Bible’s anniversary The couple donated an exact replica of the original Bible and a page from one of the orignal copies to the church. “We wanted to share both of these things with the church,” Pierce said. Pierce’s father, Greg Pierce, traveled from Arkansas to deliver Sunday’s sermon. He said the Bible is the best defense against evil. “The Devil knows how powerful the sword is, that’s the King James Bible,” the elder Pierce said. “Keep doing what you’re doing,

Buck Hurley Triathlon has grown its second time around BY DAVID FREEZE For the Salisbury Post

More than 220 participants competed Sunday morning in the Second Buck Hurley Triathlon. Race conditions were near perfect, with most racers starting in the early morning at the JF Hurley YMCA. The race is named for Buck Hurley, son of Gordon and Carolyn Hurley. Five separate races made up the event. The morning’s main event was the Sprint Triathlon, covering 350 yards swimming, 10 miles biking, and 3.1 miles running. Salisbury triathletes Robert Christman and Delaine Fowler successfully defended their titles from last year. Cristman was the overall winner with a time of 54 minutes and 46 seconds. Fowler im-

proved on last year’s course record with her winning time of 59:55. Fowler said immediately after the race that she didn’t realize that the second place runner was closing behind her as they approached the finish. “I looked around and there she was,” she said. “I drank too much water and my stomach gave me some trouble. I’m happy to win. What a great day for Salisbury with everyone celebrating health and fitness! I love the fact that there is a race for everyone in the family.” Fowler’s husband Alan was an early finisher and her parents were on hand to see her race. Cristman won again also, and was impressed by the effort of the volunteers on the course. “They were quick to cheer

day.” Salisbury dentist Dr. Bret Busby, a close second in the men’s race, echoed Fowler’s thoughts about the Hurley triathlon being a family event. “I saw the small children and one infant being cared for by the YMCA staff while their parents raced. Young children had their own races, and the adult race was extremely competitive. The triathletes feel well cared for here, which isn’t always the case at other races.” Busby and his wife Sarah, both avid triathletes, helped race director Ester Marsh plan the event.

Such shedding was helped quickly along by recent spring thunderstorms complete with gusty winds. Since that day was Good Friday, I thought about the old oftheard legend of each dogwood flower’s four petals NAME reflecting HERE Christ’s wounds from the crown of thorns and the nails of the cross. At the end of each petal is a dark spot in which the immediate petal area surrounding it appears to have shrunk and withered around that seemingly dead point. That same mark on two opposing petals recalls the nails in Christ’s hands. The mark of another petal stands for the feet-piercing nails, and the remaining petal spot signifies the

wound from the nail-like scratches of the crown of thorns upon his brow. The sidewalk path of my daily walk was filled with this legend-bound litter, as were also the areas of adjacent yards and streets. “Nail-print” petals had been raked into miniature mounds within the grass by the wind. Many of those petals on the sidewalk and entrance steps of homes had been pressed like flowers in a book, only in these cases, the weight carried by walking feet was the agent of the pressing. Those petals which had been carried to the grayblack asphalt of the streets were flattened to such an extent by the weight of passing vehicles that they now had the appearance of errant dripped spots of paint left by the road crew on their most recent repainting of the road lines. Some of the dogwood petals had been caught up in other cast-off floral litter in the form of the dried tassels of miniature flowers from other trees in bloom. The spring rains, streaming along the edge of the curb,

had deposited the tassels and petals in clumps before drying up, leaving them to appear as seaweed and shells on a beach, stranded at low tide. Some of the yards had been mowed since those “nail-print” petals had fallen, turning the petals into confetti, but in many of those shredded bits, an intact “nail print” could still be seen. The color in the petals from the pink dogwoods had faded, with their being only a barely discernable trace of pink, analogous to what the science of forensics tells us: that spilled blood can never be totally wiped away in a vain attempt to effect the appearance of its never having been spilled, minute traces always remaining. The dogwood petals littered the lawns of churches, businesses and homes along my path. In spite of the sacred nature of the legend of the dogwood petals still being fresh in my mind, these petals seemed to not be out of place, even when lying in secular settings. After my walk, I had

performed a vocal solo at my church’s Good Friday service. Later that day, I went to my workplace. After awhile, I saw something on the office’s carpeted floor which looked like a small piece of paper, or one of those little circular pieces of plastic which sometimes drop into plastic grocery bags when the bags are taken from their dispensing rack at the end of the grocery store’s checkout counter. These little pieces of plastic travel home with us and are discovered when we are putting up the groceries. Upon closer inspection of what I thought to be a nickelsized piece of plastic, I saw the “nail print” and realized that it was instead, a dogwood petal which I had evidently tracked into the office on the bottom of my shoe. Just like the multitude of such petals outside, which seemed to belong to wherever they had fallen, whether in places sacred or secular, such was the case with this single “nail-print” petal which had travelled inside with me on such a day.

First Presbyterian’s nighttime TWAM race coming Friday BY DAVID FREEZE For the Salisbury Post

Tricia Johnson and Whitney Bayer made sure that the Sixth Annual First Presbyterian TWAM 5K will take place on Friday night in Salisbury. The first five races were all held at the Salisbury Community Park early in May, even though First Presbyterian is located on Fisher Street in Salisbury’s historic district. A few years back, race committee members discussed the idea of bringing the event back to the church, but this year Johnson and Bayer decided the timing was right. 2011 race director Johnson said Friday, “As race director, the biggest challenge is that everything is new this year. We have broadened our base of sponsors, updated our sponsorship agreements and race applications, increased the number of places that we are advertising the race and much more. We have dri-fit shirts for the first time, and we added variety and value to race awards. But the goal of the event is still the same: to raise enough money to support our TWAM mission team as they endeavor to build a home and a better life for a family in need. This year that mission will take place in San Jose, Costa Rica. While TWAM does mission work around Salisbury and throughout various locations in the US, the annual international mission trip takes everyone out of their comfort zone and lets them experience another culture. All this leads to stronger relationships within our group and deeper commitments to serving those in need.” TWAM is a service organization that began 21 years ago at First Presbyterian Church in Salisbury. It is made up of 10th-12th-graders and a team of adult advisers. Each year they serve locally at Rowan Helping Ministries and nation-

They have also traveled to Reynosa, Mexico and Arizona, Kentucky and Jamaica. The TWAM 5K course will showcase the historic district by covering parts of Fisher, Church, Jackson, Fulton, Mitchell, Maupin, Bank and Marsh streets. Volunteers from First Presbyterian will man the corners and intersections with direction from the Salisbury Police Department.

Runners will appreciate the fact that the course is basically flat with only short uphill on Maupin. Since the event begins with a fun run for ages 12 and under, and the longer 5K follows shortly after, the whole family can participate. Associate Youth Pastor Bayer is a regular runner and is excited about the big night on Friday. She said, “I love that this race is different and unique. It is not like any other race. It is not only downtown and at sunset, but it is headquartered at our church.

With the fun run, our 5K, and the many facets of Friday Night Out, there is plenty for the whole family to do.” The fun run starts at 7:30 p.m. and the 5K follows at 8 p.m. Awards will be presented in 13 age groups for both male and female. Age group winners will receive an engraved hammer, which signifies the work that the youth will do in Costa Rica. All 12 and under finishers in the fun run get a medal, and pre-registered participants get a T-shirt. All runners, regardless of age, will be treated to a buffet of post-race food and drinks. Race sponsors include Lowe’s Home Improvement, Gordon and Carolyn Hurley, Bob and Sara Cook, Bill and Shari Graham, Fisher Realty, Innes Street Drug, Alan Burke CPA, F&M Bank, Rip and Debbie Collins, The Forum, Piedmont Eye Physicians and Surgeons PA, Deborah M Lucas MD, Hayes and Susan Smith, Kenan and Tracy Smith, Collin Choate Grubb, Piedmont Players Theatre, Sportrax, Cheerwine and Chef Santos by Goodfellows. Johnson said that as she looks forward to Friday’s event, “I am very excited for what we hope will be a great night for Salisbury and TWAM. TWAM has always operated through funds raised by the youth and through the generosity of the church members. The success of this year’s event just means that many more people can be helped and that more youth can experience the job of serving in and beyond our church.” Registration continues at www.active.com and at the First Presbyterian Church office on Fisher Street. Race day registration will also be available at the church from 6 to 7:45 p.m. on Friday before the race. More information can be obtained at www.salisburyrowanrunners.org, or by calling Bayer at 704-642-1881.

Kannapolis man charged with property damage of $1,000

FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — Fayetteville police stop and search black drivers more often than white drivers.

KANNAPOLIS — A Kannapolis man was arrested Sunday after causing property damage of $1,000 on Deal Road while attempting to elude police.

The chief also wants to cameras installed in police cars and is requiring officers to better document why they conduct searches. The newspaper’s analysis showed that black drivers made up 58 percent of all traffic stops, but are less than half the city’s population.

According to an arrest warrant, James was driving in excess of 15 miles per hour over the speed limit. He was given a breathalyzer test, which indicted his blood alcohol content was .09 at the time of the arrest the warrant said. James was taken to the Rowan County Detention Center. He was released Sunday after posting a $4,500 bail.

Norma Honeycutt, Deborah Howell and Colleen Carman competed in the team event. While Howell is a regular runner, Carman and Honeycutt had not competed in an organized event before. Honeycutt had challenged herself last year while attending the inaugural event to get in better shape and participate this year. She said, “I saw all of

the healthy athletes, and it inspired me. They were ‘real swimmers’ and I dreamed of being one. I have lost 30 pounds from swimming regularly, and I feel great. On one hand, I wasn’t sure I could do it. But now that I have, I will be back next year. This was so much fun.” Honeycutt, Howell and Carman all are administrators for Partners in Learning, a Five-Star Child Care facility that has recently started a comprehensive wellness program. “I knew it would be good for us, and for the others to see that we did it,” Honeycutt said. Once again this year, safety on the course was handled by the city of Salisbury Police Department and Fire Department, with able assistance from Locke Fire Department. Race Director Marsh said “We couldn’t do it without them. They do a fantastic job! Proceeds go to ‘We Build People,’ the YMCA program that ensures that no one will be turned away based on financial need. This is the YMCA’s largest single event fundraiser. Thanks to over 100 volunteers and staff who helped, and we are already planning for next year. It is such a humbling experience to be part of such a great event with such strong community support.” Timing was provided by RMS Sports of Marion, South Carolina.

Artist Adele Goodman explains the detail of the horses eyelashes in her pastel painting to Mocksville resident Olive Mekebak Sunday at Cauble Creek Vineyard and Winery during Equutor 2011. Yost. “Most everyone that came by enjoyed it,” she said. “Their talent is unbelievable, we’re were happy to have them here.” The 40-piece show includes pastel paintings, sketches, sculptures and a variety of other mediums. “Even people who don’t have horses or aren’t into horses can still connect with these pieces,” Goodman said. Hudson-Tolles works with colored pencils, graphite and pastels, while Goodman sticks strictly to pastels. While working on pieces for the show, Hudson-Tolles was inspired by many horses in Kentucky. “It’s about capturing the character of the horses,” she said. “It’s all about those tiny little differences. “I try to give the viewer a different view, an insight into the character because they speak to me.” Much of Goodman’s inspiration came from the Piedmont area. One of the paintings in the exhibit is of her late horse “Princess,” in which she captures her red eyelashes. “That’s the kind of little detail that makes a painting,”

she said. Both artists use photographs to complete their projects, but neither ever settles for just snapping a photo. “Paintings are so much better than a photograph,” Goodman said. “They’re softer, more real, artists put a lot of heart, soul and personality into them.” Olive Mekeback of Mooresville admired Goodman’s work Sunday. “It’s beautiful, she does marvelous work,” she said. “The detail is incredible. You feel like you should be able to touch it.” The exhibit will make its second stop from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at the Village of Pinehurst’s Historic Fair Barn during the Dressage in the Sandhills Event, 200 Beulah Hill Road South, Pinehurst. The exhibit finishes its tour May 14-22 at Sanders Ridge Vineyard, 3200 Round Hill Road in Boonville, open 10 am. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and Sunday 1 to 6 p.m. A reception will be held from 3 to 6 p.m. May 22.

Goodman read an article about Hudson-Tolles in the Post. “Everybody I knew said, ‘You have to meet this woman,’ ” Goodman said. Goodman had studied art at East Carolina University, but put her work to the side, focusing on her career as an executive assistant with Penske Racing in Mooresville. “I had stopped for a while and wanted to study with somebody that is a really strong equine artist,” she said. After reading the article, Goodman realized HudsonTolles, a nationally recognized equine artist, was that person. “I started studying with her one-on-one,” Goodman said. “Leslie’s didn’t teach me how to paint, she taught me tricks to get better and better.” The pair decided to launch the Equutour after hosting an “Equine Expressions,” exhibit in Connecticut last July. “It did so well that we decided we needed to do a show in North Carolina,” Goodman said. “There is a huge horse community in North Carolina, there are hundreds of horse farms throughout the state.” The Equutour kicked off in Salisbury over the weekend at Cauble Creek Vineyard and Winery. The pair decided to host the first show at Cauble Creek to support the local economy. “I wanted to get people out here to support the vineyard and taste some great southern sweet wine,” Goodman said. Anita Yost, co-owner of Cauble Creek, said when the women presented the idea she jumped on board. “They sold us on the idea and gave us the confidence to pull it off,” she said. Yost said the Equutour is the first exhibit at the vineyard, but it won’t be the last. “We actually are looking at something for the fall,” she said. “We’re going to do an invitational and try to make contact with local artists.” About 200 people viewed the exhibit between Friday and Sunday, according to

Hundreds of flags and Rolling Thunder members form a circle around Whitley's Funeral Home in Kannapolis for the service for Sgt.

As he was reading, he realized he was reading about Shue, an interview with his mother, Nellie. “I about died,” said Owens. “I couldn’t tell her anything about what happened.” Now though, Owens said there’s finally closure. The MIA bracelet with Shue’s name and date missing that he has been wearing all these years is now attached to the coffin carrying Shue’s remains. The bracelets, a symbol to be worn until a soldier is returned home, can be retired. Shue is back where he belongs. Home.

Shue was buried with full military rites by the 7th Special Forces Group from Fort Bragg.

The funeral procession winds along Mt. Olivet Road.

standing beside the road leading to Shue’s gravesite. “I have to come out and tell all my military friends goodbye.” Chaplain Lorenzen’s voice reverberated through the crowd, loud and clear in his sentiments. He spoke of the monument erected in Washington, D.C., Nov. 11, 1921, later known as the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Addressing the flagdraped casket containing Shue’s remains, Lorenzen said, “For now, rest well in your native soil.” While the crowd was silent, only one sound was heard. “Glory is God,” wept his sister, Peggy Hinson. Then, the cacophony of black boots polished to a spit-shine, as those Green Berets returned to the casket. The six somber soldiers picked up the flag with white-gloved hands, and held it high as Shue was saluted. Sgt. 1st Class Perry Scott’s voice resounded Sunday as he commanded the 21-gun salute to Shue. Following that, the haunting echo of “Taps” was highlighted by the yawning silence of the crowd and flags snapping in the breeze. A lone bagpipe wailed “Amazing Grace” as the flag was lowered and folded with perfect corners and passed to the instructor. The instructor then passed it to Lt. Gen. John Mulholland. Mulholland walked to Betty Jones, saluted the woman and presented her the flag. “This flag is presented on behalf of a grateful nation and the United States Army as a token of appreci-

them at the end of the service, his response was humbling. “I simply asked if the Lord would heal the wounds,” he said. “That he would be their strength, their stronghold and he would grant them peace.” His unit, the 7th Special Forces group from Fort Bragg, had 12 days to prepare for the services they would offer in Kannapolis. Not only did they welcome the body to Charlotte-Douglas International Airport on Friday night, the Green Berets have stood guard over Shue since. Sgt. 1st Class Scott, of Houston, Texas and currently stationed in Fort Bragg, had called the command for the 21-gun salute. “This is probably the greatest honor you can do for someone,” said Scott. “A man laid down his life for a friend. He did that for us. He deserves this.” One man, Master Sgt. John Owens of Pensacola, Fla., knew Shue personally. “We went through Special Forces training together,” said Owens at Shue’s service. The two graduated in December 1968 and Shue was stationed in Okinawa. Owens later volunteered for a special operations unit that arrived in Vietnam in September 1969. He never forgot the smiling, humorous young man who could light up a room. “Being with him was a great thing,” said Owens. “My come-on line was, ‘I’m with Donnie.’ It worked.” “When I saw him again, I was elated to see him,” said Owens. Shue had made his way to Vietnam a month or so after Owens. “When he went on his mission, I was probably the last guy who saw him before he went into isolation.” Isolation is where the men who were going on

ation for your loved one’s honorable and faithful service,” he whispered to Jones. The presentation repeated for a second flag presented to Peggy Hinson. “This flag is presented on behalf of a grateful nation and the United States Army as a token of appreciation for your loved one’s honorable and faithful service,” Mulholland whispered to Hinson. Rolling Thunder presented the family with folded black POW/MIA flags. Mulholland presented the sisters with oak presentation boxes, gifts from the Secretary of the Army for their flags. Again, Lorenzen spoke to the sisters quietly, praying with both and receiving a hug from Peggy. Later, Lorenzen admitted that while he’s prayed at numerous military services, this was the first missing-in-action soldier he’s laid to rest. “There are three things chaplains do,” he said. “We honor the dead, comfort the wounded and nurture SHUE the living.” After having their wounds opened and reopened, Lorenzen said the Shue family is finally getting some closure and his hope is that their wounds will finally begin to heal. “It’s humbling,” he said about officiating military funerals. “Here you are, being welcomed into a family’s grief and relief. You’re honoring a soldier who gave his last full measure 40 years ago. “This was an opportunity to bring healing to a generation past,” said Lorenzen. Asked what he said to the sisters as he knelt before

“I saw radical changes in his personality as he changed from a calm, peaceful and gentle man interested in helping Muslims into a person who believed that he would be able to amass and command an army to liberate Kuwait. It revealed his arrogance and his haughtiness,” Prince Turki, the former Saudi intelligence chief, said in an interview with Arab News and MBC television in late 2001. “His behavior at that time left no impression that he would become what he has become,” the prince added. The prince, who said he met bin Laden several times years ago in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, described him as “a gentle, enthusiastic young man of few words who didn’t raise his voice while talking.” Abdel-Bari Atwan, editor of Al-Quds al-Arabi, Londonbased newspaper, spent 10 days with bin Laden in an Afghan cave in 1996. He said bin Laden “touched the root of the grievances of millions in the Arab world” when he presented himself as the alternative to Arab regimes that have been incapable of liberating Arab land from Israeli occupation and restoring pride to their people. He said bin Laden and his followers never feared death. “Those guys spoke about death the way young men talk about going to the disco,” Atwan said. “They envied those who fell in battle because they died as martyrs in God’s cause.”

Survivor Still, bin Laden had a knack for staying alive. After being kicked out of Saudi Arabia, bin Laden sought refuge in Sudan. The African country acceded to a U.S. request and offered to turn bin Laden over to Saudi Arabia in 1996, but his native country declined, afraid a trial would destabilize the country. Back on familiar terrain in Afghanistan — allowed in by the government of Burhanuddin Rabbani — bin

Videos continued During the past decade, bin Laden and deputy Ayman al-Zawahri have appeared regularly in audio and video tapes to issue threats, and comment on a wide range of current events, although the appearances trailed off in recent years. In November 2002, bin Laden threatened Britain, France, Italy, Canada, Germany and Australia for their support for the United States, saying: “It is time we get even. You will be killed just as you kill, and will be bombed just as you bomb.” Later, he called on Muslims to rise up against leaders in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait he saw as Washington’s stooges.

Radicalization

dragnet — perhaps the largest in history for a single individual. As the Taliban quickly fell under pressure of the U.S. bombardment, bin Laden fled into the inhospitable mountains in the seam that separates Pakistan and Afghanistan, keeping up a spotty stream of chatter — first in video tapes and then in scratchy audio recordings — to warn his Western pursuers of more bloodshed. Just hours after the U.S. assault on Afghanistan began on Oct. 7, 2001, bin Laden appeared in a video delivered to Al-Jazeera, an Arab satellite television station, to issue a threat to America. “I swear by God ... neither America nor the people who live in it will dream of security before we live it in Palestine, and not before all the infidel armies leave the land of Muhammad, peace be upon him,” said bin Laden, dressed in fatigues. He reappeared in a video appearance broadcast by AlJazeera on Dec. 27, 2001, shortly after U.S. forces apparently had him cornered in Tora Bora, a giant cave complex in eastern Afghanistan. Hundreds of alQaida suspects are believed to have escaped the massive U.S. bombing campaign there, and bin Laden is believed to have been among them.

mass destruction and a link to al-Qaida — has become the cauldron in which the world’s next generation of terrorists are honing their skills. While scant evidence has emerged of a link between Saddam and bin Laden’s inner circle, there is no doubt that al-Qaida took advantage of the chaos of post-Saddam Iraq — helping to drag the United States into a quagmire that led to the death of some 5,000 American troops, and many scores of thousands of Iraqis. Indeed, bin Laden’s legacy is a world still very much on edge. Frightening terms like dirty bomb, anthrax and weapons of mass destruction have become staples of the global vocabulary; others like Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib and extraordinary rendition have fueled a burning anger in the Muslim world. But long before bin Laden became the world’s most hunted man, few believed fate would move him in that direction. Bin Laden was born in Saudi Arabia in 1954. He became known as the most pious of the sons among his wealthy father’s 54 children. Bin Laden’s path to militant Islam began as a teenager in the 1970s when he got caught up in the fundamentalist movement then sweeping Saudi Arabia. He was a voracious reader of Islamic literature and listened to weekly sermons in the holy city of Mecca. Thin, bearded and over 6 feet tall, bin Laden joined the Afghans’ war against invading Soviet troops in the 1980s and gained a reputation as a courageous and resourceful commander. Access to his family’s considerable construction fortune certainly helped raise his profile among the mujahedeen fighters. At the time, bin Laden’s interests converged with those of the United States, which backed the “holy war” against Soviet occupation with money and arms. When bin Laden returned home to Saudi Arabia, he was showered with praise and donations and was in demand as a speaker in mosques and homes. It did not take long for his aims to diverge from those of his former Western supporters. “When we buy American goods, we are accomplices in the murder of Palestinians,” he said in one of the cassettes made of his speeches from those days. A seminal moment in bin Laden’s life came in 1990, when U.S. troops landed on Saudi soil to drive Iraq out of Kuwait. Bin Laden tried to dissuade the government from allowing non-Muslim armies

Laden and his al-Qaida network prepared for the holy war that turned him into Washington’s No. 1 enemy. When the Taliban — who would eventually give him refuge — first took control of Kabul in September 1996, bin Laden and his Arab followers kept a low profile, uncertain of their welcome under the new regime. The Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar called bin Laden to southern Kandahar from his headquarters in Tora Bora and eventually through large and continual financial contributions to the isolated Taliban, bin Laden became dependent on the religious militia for his survival. In Afghanistan, he would wake before dawn for prayers, then eat a simple breakfast of cheese and bread. He closely monitored world affairs. Almost daily, he and his men — Egyptians, Yemenis, Saudis, among others — practiced attacks, hurling explosives at targets and shooting at imaginary enemies. He also went horseback riding, his favorite hobby, and enjoyed playing traditional healer, often prescribing honey, his favorite food, and herbs to treat colds and other illnesses. In Afghanistan, bin Laden was often accompanied by his four wives — the maximum Islam allows. Estimates on the number of his children range up to 23. Al-Qaida’s first major strike after bin Laden returned to Afghanistan was on Aug. 7, 1998, when twin explosions rocked U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Most of the victims were African passers-by, but the bombings also killed 12 Americans. Days later, bin Laden escaped a cruise missile strike on one of his training camps in Afghanistan launched by the United States in retaliation. Bin Laden is believed to have been at the Zhawar Kili Al-Badr camp for a meeting with several of his top men, but left shortly before some 70 Tomahawk cruise missiles slammed into the dusty complex. Since Sept. 11, bin Laden stayed a step ahead of the

BIN LADEN FROM 1a Obama said he ordered the operation after receiving undisclosed intelligence information. Senior administration officials said the terrorist mastermind was found inside a custom-built compound with two security gates. They said it appeared to have been constructed to harbor one highvalue target and that for undisclosed reasons, officials became clear the hideout was bin Laden’s. Officials also said they believe the death puts al-Qaida on a path of decline that will be difficult to reverse, but there was no word on the whereabouts of bin Laden’s second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahri. The stunning end to the world’s most widely-watched manhunt came just months before the 10th anniversary of

MONDAY, MAY 2, 2011 • 9A

CONTINUED the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Centers and Pentagon, orchestrated by bin Laden’s al-Qaida organization, that killed more than 3,000 people. The attacks a decade ago seemed to come out of nowhere, even though al-Qaida had previously damaged American targets overseas. The terrorists hijacked planes, flew one of them into one of Manhattan’s Twin Towers — and, moments later, into the other one. Both buildings collapsed, trapping thousands inside and claiming the lives of firefighters and others who had rushed to help them. A third plane slammed into the Pentagon, defacing the symbol of America’s military night. A fourth crashed in rural Pennsylvania after passengers overpowered the hijackers and forced the craft from the air — before it could hit its intended target in Washington. The attacks set off a chain

of events that led the United into wars in States Afghanistan, and then Iraq, and America’s entire intelligence apparatus was overhauled to counter the threat of more terror attacks at home. A senior administration official says Obama gave the final order for U.S. officials to go after bin Laden on Friday. The official added that a small team found their quarry hiding in a large home in an affluent suburb of Islamabad. The raid occurred in the early morning hours Sunday. Administration officials offered some details of the operation. Based on statements given by U.S. detainees, intelligence officials have known for years that bin Laden trusted one al-Qaida courier in particular and they believed he might be living with him in hiding. In November, intelligence officials found out where he was living, a huge fortified com-

pound in an affluent suburb of Islamabad. It was surrounded by walls as high as 18 feet high, topped with barbed wire. There were two security gates and no phone or Internet running into the house. Intelligence officials believed the $1 million home was custom-built to harbor a major terrorist. CIA experts analyzed whether it could be anyone else, but time and again, they decided it was almost certainly bin Laden. Three adult males were

also killed in Sunday’s raid, including one of bin Laden’s sons, whom officials did not name. One of bin Laden’s sons, Hamza, is a senior member of al-Qaida. Obama spoke with Bush and former President Bill Clinton Sunday night to inform them of the developments. Obama struck a less than boastful tone in his brief announcement, although he said the death of bin Laden was “the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s ef-

fort to defeat al-Qaida. “His death does not mark the end of our effort. There’s no doubt that al-Qaida will continue to pursue attacks against us. We must and we will remain vigilant,” he added. Moments after he spoke, American officials cautioned that the events could lead to heightened threats against the United States. Officials said the U.S. would ensure that bin Laden’s body was handled in accordance with Islamic tradition.

If children were meant to have labels, there would be a place to stick them! JESSICA MARKS

On July 10, 1997, I became a mom. I had no idea what that meant at the time, but it wouldn’t be all that long before I learned. Six weeks after my daughter was born, at her routine well check visit, her pediatrician heard a heart murmur. Looking back, it must have been concerning to him since we were immediately sent to get an X-ray of her chest that showed enlargement. From there we were sent to Boston Children’s Hospital. Two VSD’s, two ASD’s, aortic valve stenosis and a pulmonary valve stenosis later we discovered (in layman’s terms) four decentsized holes in between her heart chambers and every valve going to and from her heart was too narrow. We were told to take her home, and were given the signs to watch for heart failure. We booked an appointment in two weeks and were told to prepare for open-heart surgery.

After that, things get fuzzy. What I do remember is someone explaining something called William’s Syndrome to me. Before you go Googling, finish reading. I’ve fought for 13 years to have my daughter judged on her own merits, not on what websites say she will be like. All that said, the very first thing I did was go home to Google. At the time, there was very little out there about William’s Syndrome, and what was out there was pretty negative. In between doctor appointments, blood draws and the famous FISH test results, I Googled and the Googling got even worse once the results were in. My beautiful first-born daughter had William’s Syndrome. She was 6 weeks old. We had Chinese food for dinner that night and I had just opened my fortune cookie when the doctor called to give us the news. I still remember what my fortune cookie read that night. “You will show what you are made of.” I kept it. In the weeks that followed, in a postpartum haze, I went through the motions of motherhood. At one particular appointment at BCH, one doctor said, “Don’t expect much from

her.” she met them. But her heart healed itself, and Well, there’s a challenge.

Fighting debt is losing proposition lose ground. You just move to the right, set your bags down and enjoy a somewhat slower but nonetheless enjoyable ride. Financial freedom is the satisfying result of debtproof living — that condition in which you spend less than you earn; you give, save and invest confidently and consistently. You shun unsecured debt. You anticipate irregular expenses. You scrutinize your purchases, and you follow a specific plan. Debt-proof living is like traveling on a moving sidewalk. It is not about deprivation, guilt or fear; it’s about sound choices and effective decisions. It’s a disciplined lifestyle that brings peace and joy. Debt-proof living makes the journey exhilarating, so you can enjoy the spectacular view!

rest — ever. • Up the down escalator with baggage. Now visualize a man on the escalator carrying baggage — lots of heavy baggage. He can’t see his feet for all the gear, most of which he keeps dropping. In his attempt to recover, he keeps finding himself at the bottom. Eventually, he gets everything back under control, at which time the challenge begins all over again. Remaining upright becomes this guy’s impossible dream. He’s an exhausted, beat-up, pitiful sight. He is debt-ridden. It’s not an enjoyable way to exist. It can, in fact, fill your life with all kinds of misery. • The moving sidewalk. Picture yourself carrying two small bags, making your way through a crowded airport. Not far ahead you see one of those moving sidewalks. You step on, and without changing a thing, you suddenly feel as if you are flying. You even feel a little taller. Your regular steps become the equivalent of several of your unaided strides. How cool is that? You just keep walking. Without increased effort, you are nearly propelled to your destination — and in record time. If you choose to slow down — or even stop for a rest — that’s OK. You don’t lose momentum, slip back or

She maintains a perfectly timed stride, and it looks as if she is climbing, but she makes no progress. So much energy to stay in exactly the same place. Living paycheck to paycheck is like going up the down escalator. You spend what you earn, no more and no less. Month after month you just keep up.

important person involved in this dilemma is your husband, and you don’t seem sure of what he thinks. I suggest you ask him some neutral questions. Talking this over will help him put his reactions into some context. If this degree of communication bothers him but he doesn’t know how to draw a kindly boundary around his newfound cousin, then you should help him. You are also part of your husband’s family, so he should loop you in (without overwhelming you too). You mention this cousin’s wealth. It could be a factor in this dynamic. Is your husband intimidated by her? Are you? Is he being told (or does he believe) he will benefit financially in some way by this familial connection? Do you believe he will? You two should meet this side of the family sooner rather than later. Meeting them will dispel some of the mystery surrounding this — which fuels your anxiety.

At royal wedding, hats top it all ou got to forgive this old Southern boy for scratching a few places here unmentionable. See, I ain’t got “Vibrant” or “Time Wagner” or pay-till-you-die Dish. Just got me some rabbit ears, and they me enough reception to enjoy some good TV. Most nights I watch “Sanford and Son,” “Newhart,” “MASH,” “The Honeymooners,” “Twilight Zone,” “Perry Mason” and lots of other stuff worth watching. And, of course, PBS and the local affiliate channels. By some quirk of fate, Friday morning I tuned in to some danged wedding that was on everywhere I turned. Now, weddings are what they are, but this one seemed to have everybody all riled up. Mind you, I’ve been around the world twice and to two Polish weddings and even to Vietnam and came through pretty unscathed. But I never seen nothing to rival what was a-goin’ on, TV-wise. Looked like a remake of the worst B-movie ever made. To start with, it had these women with hats like you see at the circus. One had on a black frisby with a bow on it, ’nother one had what looked like a bowl Gramma used for hair cuttin’, and a few more that were clearly bought from that there Salvation Army Store. And I’m thinking I’ll watch this mess, since there don’t seem to be nothing else I can tune in. Wouldn’t you know it? Out comes this gal with a hat that looked like a danged creation by one of those dudes who shows up at Farmers Day and twists balloons into funny shapes. And, brother, this was a danged funny one, too. I couldn’t quite tell what it was on her head, but I think my uncle Charlie shot one once, and neither my Gramma nor any of his sisters (including my mom) would cook it for him.

This woman standing along the wedding route in London was among those who displayed a fine head for fashion at Friday’s nuptials. So the thing dragged on with pompous and circumstances I sure didn’t understand until the final deed was done. And, lord, that poor boy gettin’ hitched might have been the funniest of all. When he walked on up there to the final resting place — sorry, meant altar — all he needed was a raccoon hat and he’d have fit right in with Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton down there at the Raccoon Lodge.

any of us followed the events as they unfolded in Madison, Wisconsin. The typical explanation offered was that Gov. Scott Walker is trying to break the teachers’ unions. This “union-busting” sparked waves of protests; state democrats initially fled the state to avoid voting on the proposed legislation. Unions have been a driving force in this country for a century or more. They have literally raised the standard of living for millions of Americans. Many claim that unions actually created today’s middle-class. This may be a bit farfetched, but then again, maybe not. Either way, no one can argue that unions haven’t had a beneficial effect on the lives of working people; yet they’ve also been known to abuse their power. The action in Wisconsin, though, isn’t to break the unions, nor take away worker’s rights. The issue that is being addressed is the question of whether or not the public-sector (those who work for the local, state, or federal government) should have collective bargaining powers. That is, should public servants, such as police, firefighters, and school teachers, have the right to a general strike if their representatives’ and the taxpayers representatives’ (legislators) fail to reach an agreement? Wisconsin is attempting to rein in part (not all) of these collective bargaining powers. In contrast to the public-sector unions, there is no debate over the private sector’s rights to collectively bargain. For example, if Ford’s union workers demand (and receive) $200 an hour wages, and this drives the cost of a Mustang to $120,000, the consumer can purchase a Honda instead. In the public-sector, though, if teachers threaten a strike, the state legislators have to do whatever is necessary to avoid this strike. The law requires that states provide schooling for children. The unions would never make outrageous demands, such as 75 percent salary increases (this would turn public sentiment against them), but they can, and often do, keep making small demands each year until they literally bankrupt the state. While many of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s policies were controversial, his decisions were always based on what he believed was best for our country. A strong union supporter, he still cringed at the thought of (public) collective bargaining. He called it “unthinkable and intolerable” in a letter that he wrote to the National Federation of Public Employees: “All Government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, Though a union supportas usually understood, er, FDR opposed colleccannot be transplant- tive bargaining by public ed into the public employees. service … The very nature and purposes of government make it impossible …” Yet in Wisconsin, the teachers left work and showed up by the thousands in protest, some even bringing students with them. Nurses handed out fake doctor’s excuses, but eventually the teachers went back to work. Labor unions bused in thousands of community organizers and union representatives from across the country to continue the spectacle. They are still pushing for a recall vote in hopes of ousting Governor Walker. Collective bargaining has gained Wisconsin’s teachers unbelievable (and unsustainable) benefits, costing approximately $100,000 per year per teacher (including retirees). Since teachers often retire relatively young, their replacement often retires while the replaced teacher is still active and healthy. Add yet another teacher to fill the position; suddenly three teachers are receiving benefits for each position. Cutting one teaching position still leaves one or two retirees drawing benefits. This pyramid scheme has finally collapsed, with Wisconsin now $137 million in debt. Governor Walker’s plan includes no changes to the current collective bargaining system for wages, only for benefits. Yet even this caused several unions to call for a general teachers’ strike. While these events aired on MSNBC recently, a commercial came on advertising a DVD series (I think it was called “The Nazis.”) Fascinating actual footage of the National Socialists (Nazis) included one scene showing very young children in front of the camera, chanting some Nazi nonsense. After the advertisements ended, live coverage of Madison resumed. The protesters were angry and noisy, but thankfully, violence was avoided. What caught my attention, though, were some very young children. In front of the cameras, they were chanting repeatedly: “Hey, hey, ho, ho, Governor Walker has to go.” • • • Steve Pender lives in Rockwell.

It’s time to reclaim May Day B

y the time we get to Memorial Day, we will have gone more than three months without a federal holiday. As it happens, we have a perfectly good holiday waiting to happen on May 1: May Day. That particular observance has been rather ill starred in the United States. Like much else on our calendar, May Day has its origins in the pagan past with strong sexual overtones having to do with fertility and rebirth. The young men and DALE women who MCFEATTERS went off to the woods for the day apparently gathered more than greens and garlands. “In fact,” according to one historical website, “the ritual drinking and dancing around the maypole in colonial America so horrified the Pilgrim Fathers that they outlawed the practice and punished the offenders.” May Day had another bit of bad luck in 1889 when the International Socialist Congress settled on that day to honor workers everywhere, show solidarity with Americans' efforts to win an eight-hour workday and to commemorate Chicago's bloody Haymarket riot of 1886. Since then, most of the world has observed May 1 as Labor Day, and it was strongly identified with socialism, communism, anarchism and grimfaced old duffers atop Lenin’s Tomb reviewing endless columns of Soviet weaponry. The U.S. celebrates Labor Day in September — not for anything having to do with the politics of May Day, but because New York’s Central Labor Union decided to hold a picnic, widely regarded as the first American Labor Day celebration, on Sept. 5, 1882, four years before Haymarket and seven years before the socialists declared their Labor Day. In the 1950s, there were a couple of attempts to pry May Day away from its leftist associations. President Dwight Eisenhower declared May 1 as Law Day, “a day of national dedication to the principles of government under law,” and also Loyalty Day, where you are supposed to reaffirm your loyalty to the United States. Both are official holidays, but not, mind you, federal holidays. And neither one exactly screams PAR-TAY! So if it’s not to be Labor, Law or Loyalty, what should May Day be? How about we just call it Three-Day Weekend. No one is offended, no one left out. Perfect. • • • Dale McFeatters writes columns and editorials for Scripps Howard News Service.

Japan’s safety review comes 10 years late TOKYO (AP) — Nearly 10 years after Japan’s top utility first assured the government that its Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant was safe from any tsunami, regulators were just getting around to checking out the claim. The move was too little, too late. But even if there had been scrutiny years before the fury of an earthquake-powered wave swamped the six atomic reactors at Fukushima on March 11, it is almost certain the government wouldn’t have challenged the unrealistic analysis that Tokyo Electric Power Co. had submitted in 2001. An Associated Press review of Japan’s approach to nuclear plant safety shows how closely intertwined relationships between government regulators and industry have allowed a culture of complacency to prevail. Regulators simply didn’t see it as their role to pick apart the utility’s raw data and computer modeling to judge for themselves whether the plant was sufficiently protected from tsunami. The policy amounted to this: Trust plant operator TEPCO — and don’t worry about verifying its math or its logic. This kind of willful ignorance was not unique within a sympathetic bureaucracy at the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. The agency has multiple functions — some that can easily be viewed as having conflicting goals. The ministry is charged with touting the benefits of nuclear energy, selling Japanese technology to other countries — and regulating domestic nuclear plant safety. Until January, it was led by a former engineer in the nuclear plant design section at Hitachi Ltd.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Some 1.5 million pilgrims flooded Rome Sunday to watch Pope John Paul II move a step closer to sainthood in one of the largest Vatican Masses in history, an outpouring of adoration for a beloved and historic figure after years marred by church scandal. The turnout for the beatification far exceeded even the most optimistic expectation of 1 million people, the number Rome city officials predicted. For Catholics filling St. Peter’s Square and its surrounding streets, and for those watching around the world the beatification was a welcome hearkening back to the days when the pope was almost universally beloved. “He was like a king to us, like a father,” Marynka Ulaszewska, a 28-year-old from Ciechocinek, Poland, said, weeping. “I hope these emotions will remain with us for a long time,” she said. Pope Benedict XVI praised John Paul for turning back the seemingly “irreversible” tide of communism with faith, courage and “the strength of a titan, a strength which came to him from God.” John Paul is universally credited with helping bring Next Sunday earliest down communism in his native Poland with support for possible launch date CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. the Solidarity labor movement, accelerating the fall of (AP) — NASA’s space shuttles are dragging their tails tothe Iron Curtain. ward retirement.

Skeptics leery of anti-obesity campaign The images are striking: Overweight boys and girls staring somberly from billboards and online videos, reallife embodiments of the blunt messages alongside. “Chubby kids may not outlive their parents,” for example. Or: “Big bones didn’t make me this way. Big meals did.” The ads — part of a new “Stop Child Obesity” campaign in Georgia — won some enthusiastic praise for their attention-grabbing tactics. But they also have outraged parents, activists and academics who feel the result is more stigma for an already beleaguered and bullied group of children. “Billboards depicting fat kids are extraordinarily harmful to the very kids they are supposedly trying to help,” said the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance, which called for the billboards’ removal. The Georgia Children’s Health Alliance, which created the ads, said they were necessary to jar parents of obese kids out of a state of denial that their children had a problem.

LONDON (AP) — The dress is packed away, the partying guests have left Buckingham Palace and Prince William returns to military duty next week instead of taking a honeymoon with Kate Middleton. The newlyweds were praised Sunday for being aware their wedding was a luxury for austerity Britain and the best way to harness the goodwill of the people, who organized street parties, waved flags and lined London streets to catch a glimpse of them, was to get serious. After a perfectly executed wedding, they made it clear their future married life will not be one long party. The decision was called a “welcome modern message” in a News of the World editorial. “From a public relations point of view, postponing the honeymoon is a brilliant move,” publicist Max Clif-

ford said. “What it says is we have working royals, who are putting back into society, doing their duty and serving.” The crowds who gathered outside Buckingham Palace on Friday to watch the newlyweds kiss on a balcony were good-natured. But London has also seen large protests recently against the Conservative-led government’s austerity plans, which aim to cut 310,000 government jobs and raise university tuition fees. Some of the anger at the plans have been directed at the royals — Prince Charles and his wife Camilla were shaken up when their RollsRoyce was attacked in December when a student protest turned violent. In this climate, Buckingham Palace has been mindful of the need to not appear too extravagant, while maintaining the pageantry and pomp that is always de-

manded of them. So, the royal family all turned out in designer clothes and striking hats, but the less important royals were taken to and from the ceremony in buses. Their main wedding cake was a show-stopping multitiered fruit cake with dozens of handcrafted sugar flowers, but Prince William also insisted on another cake made of chocolate biscuits. Although the guest list was long, and included many diplomats and religious figures, the couple did not turn the event into a show business event by inviting prominent film stars and pop stars who didn’t have a personal connection to the royals. Elton John was there, but other major British figures like Paul McCartney, Judi Dench and Helen Mirren were left off the list. That gave the wedding a more serious look.

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Angry mobs attacked Western embassies and U.N. offices in Tripoli Sunday after NATO bombed Moammar Gadhafi’s family compound in an attack officials said killed the leader’s second-youngest son and three grandchildren. Russia accused the Western alliance of exceeding its U.N. mandate of protecting Libyan civilians with the strike. The vandalized embassies were empty and nobody was reported injured, but the attacks heightened tensions between the Libyan regime and Western powers, prompting the United Nations to pull its international staff out of the capital. The bombing did not slow the attacks of Gadhafi’s forces on rebel strongholds in the western part of Libya that has remained largely under the control of the regime. The rebel port of Misrata, which has been besieged by Gadhafi’s troops for two months, came under heavy shelling Sunday and at least 12 people were killed, a medic said. Gadhafi has repeatedly called for a cease-fire, most recently on Saturday, but has not halted his assault on Misrata, a city of 300,000 where hundreds have been killed since the rebellion against Libya’s ruler erupted in midFebruary. The rebels, who control most of eastern Libya, have been unable to gain an advantage on the battlefield despite weeks of NATO airstrikes. Alliance officials and allied leaders emphatically denied they were hunting Gadhafi to break the stalemate between the better trained government forces and the lightly armed rebels.

Workers demand better conditions BERLIN (AP) — Some 400,000 people took to the streets in Germany on Sunday as marchers around the world demanded more jobs, better working conditions and higher wages on International Workers’ Day. In Turkey, some 200,000 protesters flooded a central plaza in Istanbul, making it the largest May Day rally there since 1977, when at least 34 people died and more than 100 were injured after shooting triggered a stampede. Turkish unions weren’t allowed back until last year. Across Germany, some 423,000 people took to the streets to demand fair wages, better working conditions, and sufficient social security, the country’s unions’ umbrellagroup, DGB said. Union group head Michael Sommer said the turnout — similar to last year’s — was a clear message to the government that it should give up its refusal to introduce a national minimum wage.

‘Fast Five’ races to furious start LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Fast Five” has left the competition in the dust with an $83.6 million debut to grab the No. 1 spot at the weekend box office, according to studio estimates Sunday. Universal Pictures’ fifth movie in “The Fast and the Furious” franchise was by far this year’s biggest opening. Its take was more than double the previous best of $39.2 million for “Rio,” the 20th Century Fox animated hit that slipped to No. 2 with $14.4 million. The No. 1 movie the two previous weekends, “Rio” raised its total to $103.6 million. “Fast Five” set a record for best April debut ever, speeding past the $71 million haul of its predecessor, “Fast & Furious,” two years ago. The movie reteams stars Vin Diesel and Paul Walker as outlaw driving aces and adds Dwayne Johnson as a federal agent on their tail.

Baseball tournaments cranking up BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

jon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST

East Rowan coaches Brian Hatley, left, and Brian Hightower are pursuing another NPC tourney title.

The postseason begins tonight for many area baseball teams with first-round conference tournament games. Games tonight include South Davidson at North Rowan in the YVC; West Rowan at Carson and North Iredell at South Rowan in the NPC, and A.L. Brown at Northwest Cabarrus in the SPC. East Rowan has a first-round bye and plays Wednesday. Davie (19-2), one of the teams to watch in 4A, opens play in the CPC tourney on Wednesday. West’s season ends tonight if it doesn’t upset Carson. The

Cougars squeaked by the Falcons 6-5 and 5-4 in the two regular-season meetings, so it’s not like West can’t win, even with the disparity in the team’s records. Carson is 15-7, while West is 4-19. While league tournaments are generally played for pride, bragging rights, trophies and dollars, they’ll also sort out the seeding for the state playoffs. As is always the case, any darkhorse team that emerges with a tournament title moves all the way up to the league’s No. 2 seed for the state playoffs. Carson, which has won 13 of 16, and West Iredell enter the NPC tournament tied for second. The NPC’s No. 2 team is at home

in the first round of the playoffs, while No. 3 hits the road, so how things shake out between those two will be worth watching. If brackets don’t get busted, they’ll square off head-to-head in a semifinal on Wednesday night. North Rowan enters the YVC tournament tied with South Stanly for the top spot. If the brackets hold, they’ll meet head-tohead in the tournament championship game on Thursday night to decide the No. 1 playoff seed. There’s actually quite a bit riding on the SPC tournament. While jon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST Northwest Cabarrus is assured Dusty Agner and North Rowan the No. 1 seed for the playoffs,

Is Newton doomed for failure? BY DAVID MOULTON Scripps Howard News

His smile reminds you of Magic Johnson — tall, handsome and talented. His personality wins you over. He can handle adversity. He’s a winner. His leadership is unquestioned. Yet why do I fear the future for Cam Newton? Newton is the 11th quarterback to NEWTON be taken first overall since 1998. Let’s take a look at the last 10 QBs taken No. 1 before Cam. Peyton and Eli Manning are the most successful. Both have won Super Bowls. Both played four years in college. Carson Palmer is the third most successful of the bunch. He also played four years in college. Was on his way to stardom before a knee injury. Did not play his rookie year with the Bengals. Tim Couch, JaMarcus Russell, Alex Smith and David Carr are the busts. All of them were rushed into playing right away on bad teams. Couch got hurt. Carr was sacked so frequently he was shellshocked. Russell played and partied himself out of the league in three years. Smith looks to be a product of the spread offense in college and not good enough for the NFL. Taken three years ago, Matt Ryan looks to be a franchise QB in Atlanta. Oh yeah, he played four years in college. Jury still out on the last two top picks, Matthew Stafford and Sam Bradford. What list will Cam end up on? Recent history says despite all his plusses, Newton will not make it. Only one full year of major college football. A spectacular, historic, magical year, yes. But only one year. How many QBs have made it big after only one great year in college? Ryan Leaf and Akili Smith were taken Nos. 2 and 3 overall after one big year in college. Not the guys you want to be compared to. Almost every QB taken first overall ends up on a bad team, that’s usually why they have the top pick. But Carolina is a bad team, with a new coaching staff, no wide receivers and a bad offensive line. They do not have a veteran QB on the

Bikes to hikes Catawba recruit Galloway turned in dirt bikes for football BY RYAN BISESI rbisesi@salisburypost.com

GRANITE QUARRY — Shawn Galloway assuredly caught plenty of bumps and bruises along the motorcross circuit before trading in his bike and buying a different helmet. The East Rowan tight end heading to Catawba indulged in the family pas-

time of dirtbikes and hill-jumping before he joined the football team his junior year. Now after just two seasons, his 6foot-3, 175-pound frame and his workmanlike demeanor makes him worthy of the college game, even as a newcomer to the gridiron. “I just kept getting injured in motorcross,” said Galloway from the East

media center. “I knew I wanted to get into sports. Everybody was talking about how football practice was so hard.” But Galloway was more than up for a new challenge. One that was a little less extreme and a little more organized, but just as brutal. Football was perfect. “I was like ‘it can’t be that hard,’”

he said. “I came out there my junior year and that’s how I started.” Now Galloway will play with Catawba next year, but it’s no beginner’s luck. Galloway’s signing with the Indians is a bright spot at the end of a rough first season for coach Chad

Wade turns up the heat Associated Press

MIAMI — Dwyane Wade knew his regularseason numbers against Heat 99 Boston were lacking. He also knew that wouldCeltics 90 n’t matter in the playoffs. And Game 1 — which seemed more like Round 1 — of what’s already an emotionally charged series went to Wade and the Miami Heat. Wade scored 38 points on 14 of 21 shooting, James Jones set a Miami postseason record with 25 points off the bench, and the Heat beat the Celtics 99-90 on Sunday to open their Eastern Conference semifinal series. “It’s a big game. It’s Game 1, at home,” Wade said. “You’ve got to take care of home court. These guys expect this from me. I wasn’t giving it to them in the regular season ver-

sus them and I wanted to come out today and be a leader.” LeBron James finished with 22 points, six rebounds and five assists for Miami, which led by as many as 19 before a fiery finish that saw plenty of players jawing at each other — more than that in some cases. Paul Pierce was ejected with 7 minutes left, after picking up two technicals in skirmishes with Wade and Jones within a span of 59 seconds. Ray Allen scored 25 points for Boston, which lost for the first time in five games this postseason. Pierce scored 19 and Delonte West finished with 10 for the Celtics, while Rajon Rondo and Kevin Garnett were held to a combined 14 points on 6-for-19 shooting. Game 2 is Tuesday in Miami.

North Rowan’s football program has featured many tremendous running backs. Mark Sturgis Sr., Darryl Jackson, Bennie Geter, Nathaniel Hyde and Jimmy Heggins all rank among the county’s all-time top 30 in career rushing yardage, but Mike Steele, who played in the school’s early days, remains the only Cavalier to run for five touchdowns in a single game. Steele, who earned letters in four sports at North, died suddenly recently at age 65. A memorial service was held for him in Kingsport, Tenn., on April 23. A 1963 North graduate, Steele played football and ran track for coach Burt Barger, and he cherished the three football game tapes Barger once dropped off at his parents’ house. Over the years, those old tapes allowed him to relive his high school highlights on the gridiron many times. Steele was a 185-pound bull of a fullback — the Post liked to call him “The Steele-driving man,” — and he was quick enough to run sprints for the track team. He was versatile. He was a fine punter. He kicked PATs. He started at cornerback on defense. Steele’s baseball career didn’t last long — just one letter. He loved baseball, but Barger was the track coach, and he sort of insisted that his football guys run track. Steele was a starter on North’s first championship basketball team and averaged 6.7 points per game. The 1963 Cavaliers, coached by Walt Baker and featuring Gilbert Sprinkle, Chip Palmer, Mike Lester, Steele, David Chapman and Don Grubb, won 16 games in a row, went 14-0 in the NPC and finished 18-3. “What I remember about Mike is how tough he was,” Barger said. “He was a good all-round athlete. He was a great track man for us.” North opened in 1958, and Barger’s first football team in Spencer promptly went 010. By 1961, however, the Cavaliers were 9-1, losing only to Mooresville and sharing the NPC championship with the Blue Devils. It was the game following that Mooresville setback — the Cavaliers were a bit angry — in which Steele made history. His big night came on Oct. 13, 1961, against Cen-

He followed massive senior lineman Robert “Hoss” Myers for one big gain after another. North won 59-6 — still the highest-scoring output in school history. Steele had four TDs by halftime on runs of 20, 45, 24 and 6 yards. He located the end zone from 25 yards out in the second half. No one made much of a fuss at the time. No one realized it was that big a deal. There were no interviews. Steele made his standard trip to Wink’s for a postgame hotdog and spent the night at a buddy’s house. The 1962 season meant more to Steele because he was a senior and North won its first outright NPC title and qualified for the WNCHSAA playoffs for the first time. North beat Davie 7-6 in the 1962 regular-season finale to clinch the championship. Steele scored the touchdown. Steele scored three TDs often as a senior, including back-to-back weeks against East Rowan and Children’s Home of Winston-Salem. After the season, he was voted the Post’s Back of the Year. Barger helped Steele get a scholarship to N.C. State, and he headed to Raleigh with the idea of being a teacher and coach. He roomed there with QB Jim Donnan, who would become a celebrated coach. Steele’s career with the Wolfpack began with a bang — a touchdown on his first carry for the freshman team in 1963 — but a knee injury slowed him down. He was part of the 1965 Wolfpack team that finished tied for third in the ACC

with a 4-3 record but was later declared co-champion, along with Clemson. On the field, South Carolina and Duke shared the ACC crown with 4-2 league records, but months after that season ended, the Gamecocks forfeited all ACC wins due to a pair of ineligible players. Newly hired South Carolina coach and AD Paul Dietzel reported the violation by his predecessor, and ACC Commissioner Jim Weaver made the ruling. Two of the victories South Carolina forfeited had come against Clemson and N.C. State. Those two schools suddenly were 5-2 instead of 4-3, vaulting them ahead of Duke, which had only played six league opponents. Duke partisans were understandably miffed. Decades went by before the 1965 Wolfpack got much credit. An official ring ceremony is now in the works. When N.C. State coach Tom O’Brien was informed of Steele’s loss of health, he had Steele’s championship ring sent to the family. Steele died before he got to see it, but the huge keepsake will remain in the family’s possession forever. “I hate that we lost Mike,” the 91-year-old Barger said. “He came to see me often over the years, and I saw him just about a year ago, and he was doing well. We stayed pretty close.” After his days at N.C. State, Steele got an offer from the grocery chain we now know as Food Lion and spent much of his working life opening new stores. One of those stores was in Kingsport. That became his adopted home, but he still has family in Rowan County. Steele’s daughter, Jamie Pruitt, is a teacher at China Grove Middle School. Steele was an inspiration to many North athletes who followed him, and whenever the record book is opened up, his name is still there. When the Post caught up with Steele by phone for a “Friday Night Legends” story in 2009, he was amazed — and thrilled — to learn he still owned a record. It has stood nearly 50 years, so maybe he’ll always have it. North’s J.R. Neely caught five scoring passes in 1997, and Mark Sturgis Jr. had four rushing TDs, plus a punt return for a score, in 2003. But only one Cavalier ever rushed for five touchdowns in a single night.

Montoya-Newman feud continues Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va. — Juan Pablo Montoya and Ryan Newman don’t like each other. At least that’s how it looked Saturday night at Richmond International Raceway, where Newman had a strong car early and nudged the pole-sitting Montoya into the wall 108 laps into the race. Montoya retaliated 130 laps later by spinning Newman into the wall in turn 3. Newman later made contact with Kurt Busch while trying to get his car turned around, but his anger on his radio was directed toward Montoya, with whom he has something of a history. Just two weeks ago at Talladega, they made contact with 17 laps to go. They also had a dustup at Homestead in Miami in 2006. “I can’t believe they’re not going to black flag that 42 car,” Newman fumed on his ra-

dio after crashing, adding later that he was intending to “take care of it after the race.” NASCAR did warn Montoya to stay away from Newman following the second contact. After the race, Montoya pulled his car to his hauler, jumped out and was walking toward the exit when Newman pulled in and swerved at him. Montoya then got in a golf cart and sped out of the track, while Newman marched to the NASCAR hauler and waited for officials to arrive. He emerged after about a half hour. “Just really disappointed in the way everything played out,” he said while walking back to his hauler. “I was obviously crashed, unintentionally the first time and intentionally the second time. ... He crashed himself basically. I don’t know if he didn’t know he wasn’t clear or what, if he thought it was me on purpose, but the message was delivered that it wasn’t intentional. Either way, he ruined our day at that point.”

BASEBALL FROM 1B Mount Pleasant enters the event tied with Robinson for third, while Cox Mill goes into the tourney tied for fifth with Central Cabarrus. The SPC will send five teams to the playoffs.  Fans are wondering out loud if any Rowan team has the horses to make a serious run in the state playoffs. A lot of folks are pulling out lawn chairs for American Legion ball already, but that may be premature. It’s not time to put the prep season to bed quite yet. There’s a reasonable chance that there’s some excitement coming. From whom, you ask? Well, North (18-5) has a heck of a team for 1A. East (16-7) is East, despite some unexpected losses. The defending 3A champs have made it at least to the state semis three straight seasons. Carson, assuming shortstop Gunnar Hogan is healthy, is deep enough to make some noise.

Not

sure how many people noticed, but the streaking Cavaliers won their last 12 YVC games to catch up with South Stanly. Quite a run. Carson tied for second in the NPC. South and Salisbury had to steer through some rough patches, but both will be in the playoffs. Salisbury (11-9) could still finish second in the CCC, depending on how things go in Tuesday’s regular-season finales. The CCC tournament begins Thursday.  Last weekend’s 4-8 showing in the F&M Bank Classic by Rowan’s four 3A teams against a quartet of Cabarrus rivals wasn’t pretty, but it wasn’t unexpected. Northwest Cabarrus and Mount Pleasant are really talented. Those two schools have five Division I signees or commitments between them, and that’s five more than the NPC has. People who follow Cabarrus baseball also know that Robinson’s Brody Koerner, a Clemson commitment, is the most highly regarded pitcher in the area. Rowan went 4-8 at Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium mostly because East went 1-2, while A.L. Brown, which was supposed to be the only weak Cabarrus entry, won twice. South went 0-3, even though the Raiders weren’t far from 3-0.

GALLOWAY FROM 1B Tedder. The Mustangs were 2-9 in 2010, winning at the bookends against rivals North Rowan and South Rowan. “He turned out to be probably the best player we had,” Tedder said. “No matter where you put him at, he was going to be good at it.” Galloway started last season at defensive back before moving to receiver and eventually tight end. East was 9-4 in 2009 and won its first-round playoff game against South Brunswick. Tedder considers Galloway’s signing a novelty, as it’s the first under his watch as head coach. Tedder watched Galloway transform from a projected role player into a legitimate offensive threat for the Mustangs. Tedder implemented a run-heavy offense, which included a steady diet of Jamey Blalock and Chris Moore running the ball. Although

East managed 1,684 yards rushing and just 748 passing, there was still room for East to utilize Galloway with his toughness. He had no problems creating room for Blalock and Moore. “We saw how hard he was going in practice and making contact and actually physically blocking kids,” Tedder said. Galloway said former Catawba star Brian Hinson persuaded him to choose the Indians. Hinston played at Catawba and joined the Indians coaching staff last season as the offensive line coach. East assistant Will Reedy played at Catawba as well. Division III Methodist got a look thanks to some friends who were going and UNC Pem-

broke got a visit, but Catawba’s proximity to home won out. Catawba went 6-4 overall last season with a 4-3 record in the SAC. “Most people say size is a factor, but you’ve just got to not be scared of the competition,” said Galloway, who admits speed may be an obstacle at the next level. “I was telling his dad that if he weighed about 20 more pounds, he could play Division 1-AA-type kid,” Tedder said. Galloway, with 12 catches, 190 yards and one touchdown in his senior year for the Mustangs, was an All-NPC selection. He recalls a crucial catch last year against South Rowan en route to where he caught a ball ‘11 feet in the air’ and led to the eventual winning touchdown as his shining moment as a receiver. Galloway found the gridiron and the dirt tracks were just as unforgiving as terrain. “Football is definitely more physical,” Galloway said. Hopefully the turf at Shuford Stadium is a little easier on the head.

Grizzlies power past Thunder Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY — Zach Randolph had 34 points and 10 rebounds, Marc Gasol added 20 points and 13 boards, and the Memphis Grizzlies overpowered the Oklahoma City Thunder inside for a 114-101 victory in the opening game of the Western Conference semifinals on Sunday. Just as they did in a firstround upset of top-seeded San Antonio, Randolph and Gasol provided enough punch to give eighth-seeded Memphis a road victory in Game 1. Randolph and Gasol each scored 20 points in the same

regular-season game only once this season, but did it in Game 1 against the Spurs and again to negate the Thunder's home-court advantage right from the start. Kevin Durant led the Thunder with 33 points and 11 rebounds.

Today is critical for NFL Labor Associated Press

NEW YORK — If these are not fun times for football fans, they are captivating days for lawyers. The NFL lockout is back in force after a short hiatus last week. A St. Louis appeals court could determine as early as today whether the league deserves a permanent stay of an injunction granted to the players in Minnesota to block the lockout. “We are in uncharted but fascinating legal territory,” agent and attorney Ralph Cindrich said as he examined the short-term reinstatement of the lockout by three judges from the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. “The owners’ lockout is temporary now; it can become permanent after the same three judges do a detailed review. If the lockout is reinstated, it puts the players down on points big.” If it’s not, something Cindrich predicts, league business could resume almost immediately, even as more NFL appeals are filed. Cindrich believes that even though those judges voted 2-1 Friday to review the matter, they won’t overturn Judge Susan Richard Nelson’s original determination that the lockout was preventing the players from earning a living. With the draft behind them, the 32 teams can’t have contact with any players. That includes veterans along with rookies just selected. It also means undrafted free agents, who usually sign contracts hours after the seventh round

AssociAted press

ROGER GOODELL concludes or the next day. “You just do what you do and abide by the guidelines the league puts out as we go along,” Rams general manager Billy Devaney said. “Everybody’s in the same boat; we’re not stressing out or anything. It’ll eventually get settled and you just go with it.” Going with it for the players means training on their own. For first-round picks, it means devouring the playbooks they were able to get from their teams during Friday’s short break in the lockout. “The quarterbacks and offensive linemen and wide receivers, these young guys, can you imagine? With no minicamps and no OTAs, if they show up Aug. 1 to training camp, they’re going to be so lost,” Montana-based agent Ken Staninger said. “It may be a lost draft, other than the elite-elite.” For coaches, it means evaluating how they addressed their needs in the draft, and which undrafted players they might approach when allowed

to do so. Dallas coach Jason Garrett has all his plans organized for offseason workouts and minicamps. “What we did is we laid out the entire calendar for the offseason assuming there was no lockout,” Garrett said. “So all of those dates were in place soon after the season ended. But obviously we had to be responsive to the lockout and when the players came back, and we’ll continue to do that based on what the new rules are.” Those rules are uncertain even if the players win the next round in the appeals court. Among the league’s options is reinstating the 2010 guidelines, which featured more limited free agency and no salary cap. And no minimum for spending, which could come into play more than ever with some owners who fear profits will continue to decline. “It’s a chaotic time,” said Ben Dogra, agent for Sam Bradford and Patrick Willis, among many other players. “There are a lot of moving points, and it means daily uncertainty.” Amid the uncertainty, one message rang clear at Radio City Music Hall during the draft. It was delivered by the fans, who repeatedly booed Commissioner Roger Goodell and also chanted “we want football.” Goodell responded, “So do I.” For now, getting football back is in the hands of the judges.

The NHL playoff roundup ... SAN JOSE, Calif. — Defensemen Ian White and Niclas Wallin scored their first goals of the postseason and Antti Niemi made 33 saves to help the San Jose Sharks take a 2-0 lead in their Western Conference semifinal series over the Detroit Red Wings with a 2-1 victory Sunday. White scored on a power play in the first period and Wallin extended the lead early in the third period as the Sharks put together two of their best back-to-back games to jump on top of the Red Wings for the second straight year. Jimmy Howard was again strong in goal

for the Red Wings, making 35 saves, but he got little help from his teammates. Lightning 3, Capitals 2 (OT) WASHINGTON — Vincent Lecavalier scored his second goal of the game 6:19 into overtime, and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the top-seeded Washington Capitals on Sunday night for a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Fifth-seeded Tampa Bay appeared headed for a much simpler victory, leading 2-1 in the third period, but two-time NHL MVP Alex Ovechkin forced the extra period by scoring with 67 seconds left in regulation. Dwayne Roloson made 35 saves as the Lightning won their fifth consecutive game. The series now shifts to Tampa,

Watson takes Zurich in playoff Associated Press

The golf roundup ... AVONDALE, La. — Bubba Watson won the Zurich Classic for his second PGA Tour victory of the year and third overall, holing a 3-foot birdie putt on the second hole of a playoff with Webb Simpson. After his 329-yard drive narrowly stayed out of the water and landed in a fairway bunker, Watson hit his second shot 210 yards to the green on the 568-yard, par-5 18th. Simpson’s second shot landed

in a bunker short of the green, and he blasted out to 12 feet. After Simpson narrowly missed his birdie putt, Watson holed out for the win.

SALISBURY POST

PREP SPORTS

MONDAY, MAY 2, 2011 • 5B

Can’t-miss week of matchups read recently where the Carson softball coach was quoted as saying, “Player for player, we’re the best team in this league.” Hmmm. The Cougars will get their chance to prove it Friday when they take the short jaunt up the road to East Rowan — which has a pretty decent team ranked high in the state polls — to RONNIE face pitcher GALLAGHER Chelsea White and Mike Waddell’s Mustangs in a big North Piedmont Conference matchup. That — not the NPC baseball championship at West Iredell— is the can’t-miss game on Friday. In fact, this is the can’t miss week for spring sports. Who’s the WHITE best will be decided in something almost every day: • High school baseball — which draws the biggest crowds — begin its tournaments today. In a county that prides itself not on conference titles but state championships, NPC baseball coaches weren’t happy with their showing in the F&M Classic against Cabarrus teams. Only Carson came away with a winning record at 2-1. East and West were 1-2 and South 0-3. South had three close games it could’ve easily won. Both East losses were close. West could’ve finished 2-1 but blew a seventh-inning lead to A.L. Brown. This week, they can all redeem themselves and get on a roll. North Rowan, which joined football and boys basketball as YVC champs, start its tournament tonight at home. Salisbury is playing its regular-season finale at East Davidson on Tuesday with second place in the CCC at stake. The tournament begins Thursday at Salisbury. • One sport we’re used to seeing champions in is track. Salisbury is the defending state champion in boys, while the girls were second last year. The Hornets host the CCC meet on Wednesday. Romar Morris, the “Zoomin’ Human,” is reason enough to come watch. The future North Carolina football player is the two-time champ in the 100 and 200 meters. Does Robert Steele ever lose at North Rowan? Johnny Oglesby and Sam Starks, along with all of those talented girls like Teaunna Cuthbertson and Meloney Ramos, will be hosting the YVC meet on Thursday. The one thing we enjoy about Steele is that he gets his kids to love the sport. That’s evident by their bright socks and even brighter smiles. There are some really good kids in Spencer, and Steele gets credit for a lot of that. North is the defending 1A girls champ, and the boys think they can make it a 1A sweep this year. And then, there’s East Rowan which has lost only once — to North. The Mustangs, who won the girls and boys NPC meets, will be at Mount Pleasant on Saturday for the 3A regionals. • Salisbury’s golf team was winning the state tournament last year with about nine holes to go before finishing second. The Hornets are stronger this year and begin their march today at Sapona in Lexington in a 2A regional. They are definitely one of the favorites to win it all. • Salisbury, the CCC boys tennis champ, is in action today at home in the dual team tournament. West Rowan coach Jonathan Brown has the Falcons on the rise. The NPC’s secondseed is on the road. • Salisbury’s soccer team proved it was Rowan’s best by beating West in the county tournament and has proven it’s one of the state’s best 2A clubs by going into tonight’s game at East Davidson undefeated. • And then, there’s that softball game at East on Friday. We’re not going to miss it. Neither should you. • Contact Ronnie Gallagher at 704-797-4287 or rgallagher@salisburypost.com.

Monday, May 2 Spend your time and talents in the year ahead on objectives that are meaningful and can bring you something of value to show for your hard work. The near future will be a period in which elevating your talents could pay off handsomely. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — The size or intricacies of a big project won’t intimidate you. Your talents come more sharply into focus when you’re involved in something huge and significant. It behooves you to go for broke. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Don’t underrate your hunches or premonitions, with the exception of negative ones, because all they’ll do is stop you from trying your best. Use the positive ones to score big. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Whenever there is harmony of purpose, the will to succeed will win out every time. It behooves you to pursue collective endeavors, because if the group wins, everybody wins. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Something you’ve been overlooking for quite some time can be of significant benefit. Fortunately, you should finally start seeing it for what it actually is and what it can offer. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — It behooves you to at least attempt to put back on track a valued relationship that has been faltering lately. Squarely face the problem and do what you can to mend it. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Something rewarding might be beckoning you, but you might hesitate if it’s in an unfamiliar area. Remember, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Go for the gold. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — It’s your attitude that determines the type of responses you get from others. If you want colleagues to be convivial, offer them friendliness in an earnest, sincere and cooperative manner. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Exerting your efforts on behalf of those you love will make your actions seem larger than life. As a result, your sense of accomplishment will be huge to you as well. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Your executive qualities will be exceptionally sharp, so if you find yourself involved with a group that needs organization, step to the fore and organize matters. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If you’re negotiating a delicate but important matter, remember that everything comes to those who wait. Patiently cling to the end results, and the victory you envision will come to pass. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Curiosity can be good when it is used to inform and learn. Don’t hesitate to ask questions about something a group involvement that you fail to fully comprehend. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Although you’re a cool-headed individual, your emotions and sensitivities could be more acute than usual, working to your advantage by helping you better understand another.

Talk to physician for information Can you spot the spot to lead? Dear Dr. Gott: I was told that I have lymphocytic colitis. I have been on Entocort for three months and am now on Lialda. I am seeing a gastroenterologist. I am told that this is an immune problem. Is this a long-lasting problem, and am I seeing the right doctor? I have had several UTIs, which I think are related, but the antibiotics have an adverse effect on me. I can’t and have DR. PETER walk pain in my GOTT arthritic joints. (I have severe osteoarthritis and see a rheumatologist.) Please help explain what I can expect long term. Dear Reader: Based on your brief note, I can’t provide specific information. Are you on any other medications, such as an anti-inflammatory or other pain medication for your arthritis? Do you have any other health conditions? What antibiotics have you taken that appeared to adversely affect you? What testing have you had? Your best source for information is your physician. I urge you to sit down with him or her to discuss your concerns and questions. Because I don’t have the answer to any of this, I will simply provide basic information about lymphocytic colitis. Lymphocytic colitis and collagenous colitis together are referred to as microscopic colitis. Some researchers believe that the two are simply different presentations or

phases of a single condition. Symptoms and treatment of both are identical; therefore, discussing one is the same as discussing both. The only difference between the two is on microscopic examination (hence the name) of a tissue sample taken from the affected individual. Collagenous colitis causes collagen in the colon to thicken. It is most commonly diagnosed in people in their 50s, with women being affected more frequently than men. Lymphocytic colitis causes increased levels of white blood cells known as lymphocytes within the colon. It affects men and women equally and is also most commonly diagnosed in those aged 50 or older. The cause of microscopic colitis is unknown, but researchers currently theorize that it may involve viruses, bacteria and/or immune-system issues. Some individuals with microscopic colitis may have a pre-existing immune disorder such as celiac disease (gluten intolerance), scleroderma (connective tissue disorder, often affecting the skin) and rheumatoid arthritis (joint pain and damage). Symptoms include chronic, watery diarrhea that may last for weeks, months or even years, and abdominal pain or cramps. While less common, fecal incontinence, nausea and bloating may occur. Mild weight loss, weakness and dehydration are also possibilities because of the diarrhea. Some studies have linked certain medications to microscopic colitis; however, not all the studies agree, so further

research is still required. Currently, acarbose, aspirin, NSAIDs, omeprazole, ranitidine, sertraline, flutamide, esomeprazole, clozapine, entacapone, lansoprazole, simvastatin and ticlopidine are possibly linked. Some cases may resolve without treatment; however, diet and medication modifications may be beneficial in reducing symptoms. Any drug that may be linked should be discontinued, reduced or replaced. Fats and fiber intake should be reduced, while caffeine and dairy/lactose products should be eliminated from the diet. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids and avoid irritating foods. Soft, easy-to-digest foods eaten over several smaller meals per day are the best option. Medication will likely be recommended if dietary modifications fail to produce sufficient results. These include over-the-counter anti-diarrheals and prescription bileacid blockers, steroids, antiinflammatory drugs and immunosuppressants. For severe cases in which medication is ineffective, surgical removal of a portion or the entire colon may be beneficial; however, this is rare for microscopic colitis. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

Spotting the right line of play might involve spotting the right spot — any card from a two to a 10 — to lead at the key moment. In today’s deal, for example, how would you plan the play in three no-trump after West leads the diamond king? North knew that a threeclub opening promised a seven-card suit, but he reasonably decided that six to the ace-king-queen would be as good as a weaker seven-bagger. East was tempted to make a four-club Michaels Cue-Bid, showing at least 55 in the majors. But the vulnerability was adverse, and he was afraid that if West had a good hand, he would assume East did also and

carry the bidding too high. The original declarer ducked the first trick, took West’s diamond-nine continuation with his ace, and confidently led the club three to

dummy’s queen. When East pitched a low spade, the contract could no longer be made. South played a heart to his ace and led the club 10, ducking when West covered with his jack, but West cashed three diamond tricks for down one. South had a mild case of brain freeze. It was tough to envision West’s having all four clubs. However, it could not have cost declarer to lead his club 10 (or eight) to the queen at trick three. Then, when the bad break comes to light, South could cross to his hand with a heart and lead the club eight through West. He would probably cover with his nine, but declarer would win with dummy’s king, play a heart to his king, and lead the club three to dummy’s seven. South would collect one spade, two hearts, one diamond and six clubs.

Whoopi’s funky footwear gets laughs in Austria VIENNA (AP) — Whoopi Goldberg is in Austria to promote “Sister Act,” with her trademark slapstick humor. She slipped off her highheeled sandals at Vienna’s Ronacher Theater on Friday when she realized she would have to stand during a media preview of the musical, which opens there in September. “I thought I was going to look good coming in and sitting down,” Goldberg told a laughing audience. She stood in her white socks until Vienna’s cultural affairs official, Andreas

Whoopi Goldberg speaks at the ronacher theater in Vienna.

AssociAted Press

Mailath-Pokorny, came on to give her a gift. “Hold on, hold on. I’m going to put them back on ‘cause you’re too tall for me,” Goldberg said.

“They look great ... just like you,” Mailath-Pokorny quipped. Goldberg starred in the 1992 movie version of “Sister Act.”

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER A strong cold front will extend from the Ohio Valley through the Ozarks into the Southern Plains Monday. Moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will interact with energy along this front to produce showers and thunderstorms with periods of heavy rain. Persistent showers and periods of heavy rainfall over the already saturated areas of these regions may cause flooding and river flooding. Meanwhile, a wave of low pressure along the southern half of this front will enhance storms in Arkansas, northern Louisiana, and parts of Mississippi. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a slight chance of severe weather activity across Louisiana, central to northeastern Mississippi, and northwestern Alabama. Wind damage and large hail will be the main threats associated with storms in these areas. In the West, a cold front will move through the Pacific Northwest and Northern Intermountain West with coastal rain showers and high elevation rain and snow. Additional precipitation is expected in the Central and Southern Rockies, while high pressure prevails throughout the rest of the West with dry and pleasant weather conditions.

Associated Press CLEVELAND — Michael Brantley singled home the go-ahead run in the eighth inning and the Cleveland Indians rallied for a 5-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday to extend their home winning streak to 13 games. Cleveland’s sixth straight win overall increased the Tigers’ losing streak to six. The three-game sweep gave the Indians four series sweeps this season, matching their total for 2010 when they went 69-93. Brantley followed a tying RBI single by Orlando Cabrera by lining an 0-1 pitch from Joaquin Benoit (0-2) to left, scoring Shelley Duncan from second base. Matt LaPorta added a sacrifice fly for his third RBI and a 5-3 lead as Cleveland extended its best home start in 70 years. The Indians are 13-2 at home for the first time since 1941 and have baseball’s best record at 19-8. Royals 10, Twins 3 KANSAS CITY, Mo.— Mike Aviles homered and drove in four runs to help the Royals beat the Twins. The Twins have lost six in a row and were swept in a three-game series by the Royals for the first time since Aug. 4-6, 1998. Minnesota dropped to 9-18, the worst record in the majors. Minnesota fell to nine games below .500 for the first time since finishing the 2000 season 69-93. Aviles, who matched his career high with four RBIs, hit a three-run homer in the eighth off Twins reliever Dusty Hughes. Yankees 5, Blue Jays 2 NEW YORK — Curtis Granderson hit a three-run homer, Mark Teixeira also went deep and the Yankees powered their way to a victory over the Blue Jays. Jorge Posada broke out of an 0-for-19 slump and Francisco Cervelli added an RBI groundout in his first game back from the disabled list, helping the Yankees take the

Moseley quiets Dodgers; Ethier still going Associated Press

Astros slugger carted off

LOS ANGELES — Dustin Moseley pitched seven shutout innings for his first victory of 2011, Brad Hawpe doubled his RBI total for the season with a two-run single, and the San Diego Padres beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-0 on Sunday. Andre Ethier extended his hitting streak to 27 games when he led off the Dodgers’ seventh with a single. It is the secondlongest streak by a Dodger since the club relocated to Los Angeles in 1958, and is five shy of Willie Davis’ franchiserecord 31-game run in 1969.

Associated Press HOUSTON — Houston left fielder Carlos Lee was carted off the field after he was injured in a collision with shortstop Angel Sanchez. The team says Lee has been taken to a hospital for X-rays on the left side of his ribcage. Both players were chasing Mark Kotsay’s pop-fly double in the seventh inning Sunday against Milwaukee when Sanchez crashed into Lee, sliding knee-first into his abdomen. Lee remained on the ground, writhing in pain, for several minutes while trainers attended to him. He was eventually helped up and carted off the field, with his head down and breathing heavily.

Moseley (1-3) gave up three hits and walked three. He struck out six and allowed just two runners as far as second base. The right-hander was winless in five April starts despite a 1.99 ERA, with his teammates getting shut out in each of his first three outings and totaling just four runs for him altogether. Marlins 9, Reds 5 CINCINNATI — Hanley Ramirez hit his first home run of the season and Florida went deep a season-high five times to beat Cincinnati. Braves 6, Cardinals 5 ATLANTA — Brooks Conrad recaptured his pinch-hit magic

of 2010, driving in the winning run in the ninth inning to give Atlanta a victory over St. Louis. Conrad, who had three homers — including two grand slams — and drove in 12 runs as a pinch-hitter last season, hit a bloop single off Ryan Franklin to drive in Alex Gonzalez from second base. Nationals 5, Giants 2 WASHINGTON — Jordan Zimmermann allowed two runs over six innings to end his losing streak and Ivan Rodriguez hit a two-run single. Astros 5, Brewers 0 HOUSTON — Carlos Lee hit a three-run homer before being

taken to the hospital to have Xrays on his injured ribcage, and Bud Norris combined with three relievers on a three-hitter in Houston’s win over Milwaukee. Pirates 8, Rockies 4 DENVER — Charlie Morton pitched into the sixth inning for his third win, Garrett Jones had three RBIs. Diamondbacks 4, Cubs 3 PHOENIX — Daniel Hudson pitched seven solid innings and Ryan Roberts homered as Arizona took advantage of some key mistakes by Chicago. Mets 2, Phillies 1 Ronnie Paulino’s double in the 14th lifted the Mets.
