‘Mayhem’ averted in New York

Taliban claim discounted in failed car bombing

girlfriend. Porter worked with the Department of Social Services to get all children out of the house before taking the woman to jail. As Porter was leaving for the night, the social worker pulled up with the children still in her car. The young boy had made her come back to say “thank you.” “You don’t get a lot of that in law enforcement,” Porter said with a hitch in her voice. “When you know that you’ve done something to help a child, it’s just ... great.” Porter carries her own painful memories of abuse at a young age, but they motivate her rather than weigh her down. She not only speaks of God making bad things work for good — she lives it. “You can either let those things drag you down, or you can use what you learned from them to help other people,”

NEW YORK (AP) — Police investigating a failed car bomb left in Times Square have videotape of a possible suspect shedding clothing in an alley and putting it in a bag and found a substance that resembled fertilizer in the parked SUV, Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Sunday. The surveillance video shows a white man in his 40s taking off one shirt, revealing another underneath. Kelly said officers were on their way to a Pennsylvania town to talk to a tourist who also might have recorded the suspect on his video camera. The commissioner said there’s no evidence that a Pakistani Taliban videotaped claim to the failed car bombing is valid. Police found the SUV parked on one of the prime blocks for Broadway shows such as “The Lion King” on Saturday night. Thousands of tourists were cleared from the area for 10 hours. The bomb was dismantled, and no one was hurt. The SUV contained three barbecue-grillsized propane tanks, fireworks, two filled 5-gallon gasoline containers and two clocks with batteries, electrical wire and other components, police said. Timers were connected to a 16ounce can filled with the fireworks, which were apparently intended to set the gas cans and propane afire, Kelly said. “Clearly it was the intent of whoever did this to cause mayhem, to create casualties,” Kelly said at a news conference at police headquarters. “It’s just a sober reminder that New York is clearly a target of people who want to come here and do us harm.” He said New Yorkers are lucky that the bomb did not fully detonate because it “looks like it would have caused a significant fireball.” He said the vehicle, which had Connecticut license plates that didn’t match it, would have been “cut in half” by an explosion and people nearby could have been sprayed by shrapnel and killed. “It wasn’t an accident,” he said. “It was somebody who brought this to the location to send a message to terrorize people in the area.” Police also found eight bags of an unknown substance in a gun locker that was in the smoking SUV, Kelly said. The substance “looks and feels” like fertilizer, he said, but tests were pending. Kelly said surveillance video shows the vehicle entering the area at 6:28 p.m. Saturday, and a vendor pointed the SUV out to an officer about two minutes later, at the height of dinner hour before theatergoers head to Saturday night shows. He said the license plates on the SUV belong to a car that is being repaired in Connecticut. Duane Jackson, a 58-year-old handbag vendor from Buchanan, N.Y., said he noticed the car and wondered who had left it there. “That was my first thought: Who sat this car here?” Jackson said Sunday.

Auten, now sheriff, said he could tell from answering domestic calls with Porter that she had a special place in her heart for children and victims of abuse. “Anybody that knows her and has ever worked with her knows she goes the extra mile on every one of those cases,” Auten said. He said it takes a “special person” to investigate abuse cases without becoming overwhelmed. “In law enforcement, we see so much that’s negative already,” he said. “When it’s negative involving kids, sometimes it’s hard not to take that home with you.” How does Porter cope with seeing terrible things that abusers do to children? When asked, she paused before answering, “By putting them in jail.” She remembers finding a little boy who had been duct taped to a chair by his father’s

Dixonville Cemetery on council agenda

Capping Gulf oil geyser could take at least a week VENICE, La. (AP) — Federal officials shut down fishing from the Mississippi River to the Florida Panhandle on Sunday because of the uncontrolled gusher spewing massive amounts of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, and the environmental disaster is still expected to take at least a week to cut off. Even that toxic scenario may be too rosy because it depends on a lowtech strategy that has never been attempted before in deep water. The plan: to lower 74-ton, concreteand-metal boxes into the gulf to capture the oil and siphon it to a barge waiting at the surface. Whether that will work for a leak 5,000 feet below the surface is anyone’s guess; the method has previously worked only in shallower waters. If it doesn’t, and efforts to activate

a shutoff mechanism called a blowout preventer continue to prove fruitless, the oil probably will keep gushing for months until a second well can be dug to cut off the first. Oil giant BP PLC’s latest plan will take six to eight days because welders have to assemble the boxes. President Barack Obama toured the region Sunday, deflecting criticism that his administation was too slow to respond and did too little to stave off the catastrophe. Satellite images indicate the rusthued slick tripled in size in just two days, suggesting the oil could be pouring out faster than before. Wildlife including sea turtles have been found dead on the shore but it is too soon to say whether the spill, caused by a

The Salisbury City Council will hear a presentation from city staff on improvements to the Dixonville Cemetery on Old Concord Road during Tuesday’s meeting. The council will hear about short-term and long-term goals for the cemetery, including goals that have already been met. The most important cemetery need has not been met, however, and is the installation of a memorial to honor and recognize Salisbury’s African-American residents who were interred in the cemetery. The cemetery also wants to provide a record

YESTERDAY This early postcard photograph of the Hood Theological Seminary on the campus of Livingstone College probably dates to about 1910. The seminary is named for Bishop James Walker Hood, who was the first chairman of the institution’s board of trustees. The seminary started in 1904 and moved into this building on the Livingstone campus in 1910. Today, the seminary operates independently of the college and is near Interstate 85 and Jake Alexander Boulevard. This photograph is from the collection of Susan Goodman Sides.

It’s not easy to stop smoking, start exercising Q. I am 19 and weigh 215 pounds, which for my height (5-foot-3) is horrible. I smoke cigarettes mostly every day, and I do not exercise. My question is what is a good way to start my exercise plan and stick to it while losing weight, and eating healthy? A. You are not alone. So many people are struggling with being overweight and do not know where to start. On top of that, you have a (bad) habit of smoking. I was a ESTER smoker. I know that may come MARSH as a shock to you, but when I smoked I actually enjoyed every puff. In the Netherlands, where I grew up, I actually worked at a fitness center where there was a smoking section. Crazy, right? I told myself (convinced myself) that I was OK as long as I didn’t cough in the morning (you know that ugly morning cough many smokers have), didn’t have trouble keeping

when I didn’t smoke anymore. The not smoking part isn’t what makes you gain weight. It is the eating instead of smoking part that makes you gain weight. What worked for me was to exercise when I was really craving a cigarette. Instead of taking a smoke break, go for a five-minute walk. Or walk the stairs or hallways if you can’t leave the building (somehow you were finding time and a place to smoke a cigarette). Plan your meals for the day (and have healthy snacks available) and schedule an exercise routine. If you like to take classes, find two or three classes per week you can take (and enjoy!). When you crave a cigarette, defer that craving toward exercise. Do not hesitate to talk to your doctor about help to stop smoking and adopt a healthy diet. It is not going to be easy, and you have to do it for yourself but you do not have to be alone. Start with one step, and before you know it, you will be running. Keep me updated on your progress.

Severe storms kill at least 15 in Tenn., Miss. NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Devastating thunderstorms slammed Tennessee and northern Mississippi over the weekend, killing at least 15 people, five in Nashville, closing scores of highways, and leaving weeks of cleanup for thousands of residents whose homes were damaged. Thousands were evacuated and hundreds of others were rescued from their homes — some plucked from rooftops — as flood waters from swollen rivers and creeks inundated neighborhoods across the region. Hospitals, schools and state buildings also were flooded. Firefighters busted through the windows of Audrey Talley’s trailer early Sunday to rescue her family, including her three small grandchildren, ages 9 months to 4 years old. Talley’s son woke her up to tell her water was coming into the trailer in south Nashville. Within 10 minutes it was knee deep. “We’ve lost everything,” the 47-year-old Talley said at an emergency shelter at Lipscomb University. “I don’t know what we’re going to do. We’ve got nowhere to go.”

Well, I didn’t cough in the mornings; I kept my conditioning up even when smoking, but I was thinking of becoming pregnant in October 1991 and stopped smoking. (I got pregnant with my first child in Feb 1992) You don’t know how great it is not to smoke anymore.

State officials in Tennessee said Sunday the flooding is as bad as they’ve seen since the mid-1970s. Tornados or high winds killed at least four people, unexpected flash floods swept some unsuspecting residents to their deaths and an untold number of homes were flooded as urban drainage systems and watersheds struggled to remove the deluge. Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen called it an “unprecedented rain event,” but that failed to capture the magnitude. More than 13 inches of rain fell in Nashville over a two-day period, nearly doubling the previous record of 6.68 inches that fell in the wake of Hurricane Fredrick in 1979. “That is an astonishing amount of rain in a 24- or 36-hour period,” Bredesen said Sunday. At least seven people died in Tennessee and an eighth is missing and presumed dead. Three in northern Mississippi were killed when their homes were destroyed by tornadoes and a fourth died after he drove into flood waters. The cause of the destruction was apparent to those who responded Sunday to what re-

mained of the mobile home of Latoya Long, 25, and Thomas Catrell Cowan, 26, who were killed early Sunday morning in Ashland, Miss. “It looks like you stuck about four sticks of dynamite on it and it just disappeared,” Benton County coroner John Riles said of their home. Across the road, he said, a two-story house was just gone. “If you didn’t know the house was there, you’d just think it was a vacant lot.” A tornado also contributed to the death of an unidentified man in nearby Abbeville, Miss., and a confirmed tornado killed 64-yearold Mary Buxton in the community of Pocahantas, Tenn., about 70 miles east of Memphis. Officials said the other deaths in Tennessee were all due to flooding. The weekend deaths came on the heels of a tornado in Arkansas that killed a woman and injured about two dozen people Friday. And just a week ago 10 people were killed by a tornado from a separate storm in western Mississippi. Flooding and damage was so widespread in Tennessee that Bredesen asked the state’s Army National Guard to help.

New website lets unnamed peers judge you SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — It used to be that a potential employer would call your references to see whether you’d be a good fit. But what if you showed up for an interview and the employer already knew you blew an important project at your current job, just by checking on the Web? A new site called Unvarnished is making this unsettling idea real. Unvarnished lets your peers say what they really think of you. It’s similar to sites such as Yelp that let people post anonymous reviews — except in this case, it’s a person, not a business, that is getting reviewed. Unvarnished co-founder Peter Kazanjy says the idea emerged after realizing there can be a difference between job candidates’ attitudes in an interview and their attitudes after they’re hired. Time and money get wasted if a new employee doesn’t work out. Any Unvarnished user can add a profile of a person to the site or write in an existing profile. If a profile of you is on the site, you can “claim” it and respond to reviews written about you. If nobody has written about you on Unvarnished but you want to solicit reviews, you can add

yourself to the site and request that others describe you. Kazanjy, previously a senior product marketing manager at VMware Inc., acknowledges that allowing people to write reviews without attaching their names entails tradeoffs. Anonymity often unleashes nasty comments. And it might make people more skeptical of the validity of Unvarnished’s reviews. But it also helps people write what they really think. “We want to empower honesty and candor and nuance in the reviews,” he says. Don’t bother hopping on your computer yet. Not just anyone can access www.getunvarnished.com because the site is in a private “beta” test. It’s not yet clear when it will be widely rolled out. That means that to write or see any reviews, you have to be invited by a user and write a review of him or her. It also means that people could be writing reviews about you, good or bad, and you’d have no idea unless someone who can access the site told you. A look around the site didn’t reveal that many negative reviews, however. Unvarnished requires users to rate people on a scale of one to five stars, and

Kazanjy says more than 70 percent of the site’s thousands of reviews are four or five stars. Beyond the star rating, you can evaluate people from one to 10 on characteristics such as productivity and integrity. You can also write a short review detailing someone’s strengths and weaknesses. Although reviews on Unvarnished are anonymous in the sense that the subject and others who see that person’s profile won’t know who wrote the reviews, Kazanjy says the site has a way of checking who its writers are. It uses Facebook’s Connect identification tool to authenticate users and determine that they are not spammers. That tool asks people to log in to the website with the same username and password they use on Facebook. Unvarnished’s founders realize this may open the door for subjects of unflattering reviews to subpoena the site for information about who wrote the reviews. But the site itself would be largely protected from defamation claims, for example, under a federal law that gives broad immunity to service providers for postings made by their users.

Video gambling again on the table for lawmakers RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina lawmakers just can’t seem to scratch video poker from their to-do lists. Four years after the General Assembly thought it had banned video poker gambling machines, the House and Senate could consider in the upcoming legislative session whether to try to ban an alternate form of the games or find a more profitable way to live with them. For more than a year, trial judges have blocked state agents and police from closing down so-called “sweepstakes cafes” or “business centers” where customers buy Internet or phone time but usually play computerbased games and win cash and prizes. This legal opening has led to a proliferation of the businesses, where supporters argue locals can relax after work and maybe win a few dollars or check their e-mail. Video poker opponents are repeating worries voiced before the original ban took effect in 2007: Addicted customers are blowing their paychecks on the new games and hurting their families in the process. “This is a huge problem,” said Rep. Melanie Goodwin, DRichmond, a primary author of the 2008 law designed to close a loophole that remains open. “They see the flashing lights and say, ‘Maybe the next time I’ll win.”’ Opposition to video pokerstyle games has been almost unanimous at the General Assembly, which goes into session next week, but some influential senators are suggesting the only solution may be to highly regulate new sweepstakes parlor gaming and tax it heavily if it can’t be banned. “If there is no way we can stop it by law, we then should certainly collect a very, very aggressive tax, and hopefully that would also retard its use,” Senate leader Marc Basnight, D-Dare, said in an interview. Judges in three counties have sided for now with game distributors who argue the video screens aren’t covered by the original 2006 law or a 2008 amendment aimed at the new crop of games, because they are designed to market legal products or don’t meet the definition of gambling. While the cases are pending, the trade group for the state’s amusement machine owners have tried to persuade lawmakers video gambling machines should be legalized again. It has promoted a bill

that would give the state 20 percent of the money in the machines and require state oversight and regulation the machine distributors say would provide legitimacy for a beleaguered industry. Basnight, an ardent video poker opponent, made clear last week he doesn’t want to go back to the days of traditional video poker machines. “They have no place in North Carolina in my opinion,” he said. Video poker was tainted with suspicions in the political arena before the 2006 ban. Then-House Speaker Jim Black was one of legal video poker’s biggest supporters and campaign donations from machine distributors were investigated extensively by state election officials. Black ultimately went to federal prison for corruption unrelated to video poker. Former Buncombe County Sheriff Bobby Medford was sentenced to 15 years in prison after being convicted in 2008 of taking up to $300,000 in bribes from illegal video gambling operators while sheriff. Chase Brooks, of Alamance County, who operates a dozen sweepstakes locations statewide with hundreds of computer terminals combined, says the locales are different from the poker games. He said customers at his well-kept cafes spend on average about $27 and most win some kind of prize. The odds of winning, however, are predetermined and have nothing to do with how one plays the games. Brooks said lawmakers should consider regulating Internetbased games because they can be monitored remotely and shut down if it’s determined the games are crooked. Basnight’s close ally, Sen. David Hoyle, D-Gaston, said if the state has no say, the North Carolina Education Lottery could license Internet-based video gambling machines and split profits with convenience store owners that set them up. Current Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange, said he believes the overwhelming number of lawmakers in the chamber would vote to reinforce the ban. Attorney General Roy Cooper’s office has been asked for suggestions on how to change the video poker law to ban games like those Brooks offers before the session ends this summer.

Lutheran forum on same-sex relationships draws hundreds

synod said about nine congregations throughout the state have begun to leave the ELCA. “A further 15 or 20 have some kind of a study group in place deciding what they should do,” Bolick said. In Rowan County, Christiana Lutheran Church has held the first of two votes required to sever ties, according to member Alan Beaver. Beaver, who is active in efforts to form a new Lutheran denomination, said 82 percent of Christiana members voted to split with the ELCA. During the question and answer session following Powell’s presentation, Beaver said that the Bible

was clear in saying same-sex relationships are a sin. “You don’t need a presiding bishop or a pastor. You’ve got the Bible. You’ve got the Holy Spirit,” Beaver said. One man said “Amen” and there was scattered applause after Beaver’s remarks. Earlier, another man asked how the church could sympathize with same-sex relationships when they aren’t legally “marriages,” and could thus be considered “adultery.” Powell himself had noted that the ELCA leaves it to civil governments to define “marriage.” Powell’s response: Not

Confederate Memorial Day Service set for Thursday Rowan Rifles Camp No. 405 of the Sons of Confederate Veterans will hold the annual Confederate Memorial Day Service at 11 a.m. Saturday in the Old Lutheran Cemetery on North Lee Street. Participants will include members of the 63rd N.C. Regiment Re-enactors. The public is invited to attend. Confederate Memorial Day was first observed in the Southern states on various dates to remember fallen Confederate soldiers. Later, the Northern states began to observe “Decoration Day” on May 30 in honor of their war dead. After World War I, people began to observe May 30 to include men who had died in all wars. In 1967, May 30 was officially declared Memorial Day. Today, Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday in May. Confederate Memorial Day in North Carolina is celebrated on May 10. This date was chosen to honor Gen. Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson, who died on May 10, 1863. The Sons of Confederate Veterans is a direct heir of the United Confederate Veterans, and the oldest hereditary organization for male descendants of Confederate soldiers. Organized at Richmond, Va., in 1896, the Sons of Confederate Veterans continues to serve as a historical, patriotic and nonpolitical organization dedicated to ensuring that a true history of the 1861-1865 period is preserved.

Concerned Christians from around the state gathered at St. John’s Lutheran Church on Sunday to discuss the controversy that threatens to split the denomination. Last August, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America approved a social teaching statement which recognizes same-sex relationships. The church doesn’t marry gays and lesbians, but allows those in long-term relationships to pastor churches. Dr. Mark Allen Powell, a theology professor at Trinity Lutheran Seminary in Columbus, Ohio, spoke on what he sees as the major views on homosexuality in the ELCA. “I'm not going to try to persuade anybody of anything,” Powell said to the audience of about 500 lining the pews in the St. John’s sanctuary. “What I want is for you to be well-informed ... so we can understand the view of people with whom we disagree.” And that, he said, means knowing the facts. “Many of the more liberal people wanted the church to approve of gay relationships, ... We did not do that,” he said. “Some of those liberal people are talking as if we did that, and we did not,” he said. The language adopted in August says ELCA recognizes, but doesn’t endorse, monogamous gay and lesbian relationships. Powell said there’s a difference between recognizing something as an issue and approving of it. He said the church would likely agree that smoking is a bad habit and unhealthy — “but we don’t kick people out if they smoke,” he said. Likewise, Powell said the ELCA’s social statement does not bless same-sex relationships, but calls people to be understanding. A congregation can call a gay or lesbian pastor, but doesn’t have to. Even so, many feel the ELCA is out of touch with Christian teachings. Bishop Leonard Bolick of the North Carolina Lutheran

everyone is going to interpret scripture the same way. The very conservative, he said, see any homosexual act as a choice to give in to lust or temptation. And the very liberal not only think that homosexuality is natural, but that anyone who disagrees is a closed-minded bigot. “If we want to be fair to each other, we have got to recognize that most of us do not think this way,” Powell said. He believes most Lutherans would say that homosexuality is “contrary to God’s will” and that gays and lesbians should be encouraged to live celibate lives. But, he said, many others today don’t believe that’s what God intended. “Without arguing with what the Bible says ... they simply maintain that Biblical teaching on this issue is not comprehensive, that it does not address every situation that might come up,” Powell said. He pointed to an example from the first chapter of the book of Romans, where the apostle Paul describes homosexuality alongside other sins such as idolatry. “They would claim Paul is not talking about two men who want to have a solo, monogamous relationship with each other throughout their lives,” Powell said. Reactions after the session were mixed. Beaver said he was glad for the chance to express his views on the issue, but agreed with Powell that few were likely to change their minds. Powell himself said that he just wanted Lutherans to make informed decisions. “One of the Ten Commandments is that we shall not bear false witness against our neighbor,” he said after the meeting. “We bear false witness when we attribute motives or ideas to our neighbors that they do not actually hold.” St. John’s pastor Rhodes Woolly said he’d spoken with men and women from

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and a bulging disc in my lower back about two years ago. I had horrific pain in my back, buttocks, legs and feet. I was living on pain medication daily. I then moved to epidural shots which did not work, and then finally the orthopedic doctor suggested surgery. After doing decompression therapy, I am now at least 90 to 95% pain free. The treatment allowed the discs to heal relieving the pressure on the sciatic nerve. I thank God for Dr. Matthews and the lumbar decompression system. Surgery is no longer needed!â&#x20AC;? ~ Jerry B.

KANNAPOLIS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Thursdays on Main lunchtime concert series returns this week to downtown Kannapolis. This year, the free concerts kick off with the Coconut Groove Band at 11:30 a.m. Thursday. Their style ranges from Jimmy Buffett to classic rock. Live music continues through 1 p.m. Chef Jeff Co. will have lunch for sale, or attendees can bring their own. Thursdays on Main concerts are held each Thursday in May and June in Veteranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park at the corner of Main Street and First Avenue in Kannapolis. The series features free performances by various musicians ranging from jazz to classical to big band. Held under the oak trees, the concerts are part of the Toyota Scion of Concord Summer Events Series in Kannapolis. Free on-street parking is available throughout downtown Kannapolis. To see the line-up of musicians for Thursdays on Main, go to www.cityofkannapolis. com/summerevents.

FAYETTEVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Fayetteville/Cumberland Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s themed Cultural Heritage Trails, which feature everything from patriotism to architecture to military routes, can now take participants on a high-tech treasure hunt using hand-held GPS devices with the new geocaching game called the Greater Fayetteville GPS Trail Trek. The goal of geocaching, a relatively inexpensive pastime that has grown in popularity over the past decade, is to find as many containers as possible, which are hidden outdoors at pre-specified coordinates in publicly accessible locations. The containers, often referred to as caches, usually house a wide range of trade items, which may be taken as long as they are replaced with another item provided by the geocacher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fayetteville is a great place to geocache because of all the history we have here waiting to be discovered and is one of only a few towns in North Carolina to have an official geocaching game,â&#x20AC;? said John Meroski, president and CEO of the Fayetteville Area Convention & Visitors Bureau. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope that the Greater Fayetteville GPS Trail Trek not only attracts visitors to the area, but also allows them to see the cultural diversity of Fayetteville/Cumberland County. Even locals have the opportunity to go out and explore things they may not have known were right in their own backyard.â&#x20AC;?

Through 13 different pre-planned itineraries, local Cultural Heritage Trails allow visitors and residents to explore the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local and American history. The itineraries are African-American Heritage; AllAmerican Adventure; American Independence; Civil War; Gaelic Beginnings; Historic Architecture; Paths, Plank Roads and Planes; Patri-arts and Gardens; Patriots Past and Present; Religious Freedom; Lafayette; International Cuisine; and Historical Markers trails. Ammo boxes, which will serve as the cache boxes, will be hidden in 10 sites among the 13 trails and will be pre-stocked with local patriotic trinkets and a logbook for participants to record their visit. Geocachers will be aided by an official Trail Trek guide providing game rules, as well as the coordinates and clues required to locate the various ammo boxes. Geocaching promotes venturing outdoors in a world that is consumed by indoor activities. Often touted as a grown-up version of a scavenger hunt, geocaching can be performed by individuals but is perfect for groups such as local and traveling families, friends, school classes, youth groups and other groups looking for team building exercises. Geocachers can obtain an official Trail Trek guide from the FACVB at www.visitfayettevillenc.com/geocaching, and can become a fan of the Greater Fayetteville GPS Trail Trek on Facebook.

Saturday’s third annual Simple Living Festival was music to visitors’ ears — literally. In addition to the usual artisans’ displays — metalworkers at their forges, weavers creating colorful designs — the woods at Dan Nicholas Park echoed with the sounds of banjos, guitars, dulcimers and fiddles. Comer “Moon” Mullins, an award-winning guitarist and banjo player, was the day’s headline attraction, sponsored by the Rowan Tourism Development Authority. Mullins is known for the Merle Travis thumbpicking style. He’s also an accomplished instrument-maker and woodworker.

side of the festival was on display, with exhibits of electric and hybrid vehicles and Earth-friendly products. Addison Davis, volunteer with The Landtrust for Central North Carolina, handed out information on farmland conservation. “This is as much about education as anything else,” Davis said. But craft displays drew the biggest crowds. Gordon Cable, a blacksmith originally from Suffolk, England, demonstrated his craft for the second year in a row. “The best part is talking to all the people,” he said. “Kids and older folks — even folks older than me, who remember this from their childhood when it was a part of their life.” This year’s festival drew a moderate crowd throughout

the early afternoon, despite the threat of rain. But many kids came through the site, including two Girl Scout troops from Charlotte. They saw a musical demonstration from Mullins and a talk on wild birds by volunteers from the Carolina Raptor Center. Annette and Charlie Piper of Concord said the festival was a chance to get back to their own roots. Charlie’s father, born in 1904, worked for many years as a blacksmith for Southern Railway at the Spencer shops, he said. For Annette, the entire festival was a reminder of her grandmother’s home-churned butter and handmade quilts. “I love watching anybody make anything from scratch,” she said.

N.C. schools see higher costs with healthier meals RALEIGH (AP) — Schools under pressure to cut down on calorie-laden cafeteria food are finding the extra cost of building better lunch menus poking holes in their budgets. More than half of the state’s 115 school districts are losing money feeding their students, News & Observer of Raleigh reported Sunday. The General Assembly four years ago required schools to serve more fruits, vegetables and whole-grain food but did not give administrators extra money for the higher costs of the more nutritious foods. School districts made the changes, but have faced financial losses ever since. “An apple costs me 22 cents. A serving of canned apple sauce costs 11 cents. When figures are tight, which is Wake County going to do?” Marilyn Moody, Wake Coun-

ty’s senior director of child nutrition services, told the newspaper. “When the legislature says they want to see more fresh fruit but don’t provide any funding to do it, it’s a value decision that each director has to make.” Child health advocates say school food programs needed to change to combat childhood obesity. The Department of Health and Human Services ranked North Carolina 14th in the country in 2008 for the percentage of youths aged 11 to 17 who were overweight or obese. Nearly 18 percent of youths were overweight, and 15 percent obese. A lunch meal costs an average of between $3.05 and $3.20 to make. Federal subsidies cover 60 percent of a district’s food program’s budget. About 38 percent comes from sales and the rest from other sources.

“What’s happening in school districts across the nation is people are scratching their heads and deciding what the priorities are for their program,” said Lynn Harvey, who oversees child nutrition for the state Department of Public Instruction. “Is the purpose to provide nutritional, affordable meals? Or is the purpose to generate revenue? That’s where we find our districts now.” The state’s Legislative Task Force on Childhood Obesity recommended the legislature adopt several measures after it convenes May 12 that would allow school food programs to get more federal dollars and to devote more of their revenue to quality food. One recommendation would have the state pay for reduced-cost meals. That would cost the state $5.2 million, but it would boost the

“We’re very lucky to have Mr. Mullins here,” co-coordinator Mike Lambert said. Between shows, Mullins flaunted his skills on his handmade banjo and guitar. He said he enjoyed showing off the music and the instruments he made, saying music was a part of what human beings are made of. “After all, God loved to hear David play the harp,” Mullins said. Music is part of the Simple Living Festival’s focus on cultural and natural resources, Lambert said, an extension of the annual Earth Day celebration. “We’re not really old-timey or bluegrass,” he said. But the acoustic music on traditional instruments is a way to celebrate the simple life. Not far away, the “green”

A volunteer with the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Gulfport, Miss., inspects a dead sea turtle found on the beach in Pass Christian, Miss., on Sunday. An unusually high number of sea turtles have been found dead on beaches in Mississippi in the past two days, but it is still unknown whether the deaths are related to the massive oil slick. dolphins and other deepwater marine life — and microscopic plankton and tiny creatures that are a staple of larger animals’ diets. In Pass Christian, Miss., 61year-old Jimmy Rowell, a third-generation shrimp and oyster fisherman, worked on his boat at the harbor and stared out at the choppy waters. “It’s over for us. If this oil comes ashore, it’s just over for us,” Rowell said angrily, rubbing his forehead. “Nobody wants no oily shrimp.” Moby Solangi, director of the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Gulfport, Miss., said 10 to 12 dead sea turtles were found on the state’s beaches. He said it’s too soon to say whether oil is a factor but that it is unusual to have them turning up across such a wide stretch of coast. None of the turtles have oil on them, but Solangi said they could have ingested oily fish or breathed in oil on the surface. Necropsies will be performed Monday. The situation could become even more grave if the oil gets into the Gulf Stream and flows to the beaches of Florida — and potentially whips around the state’s southern tip and up the Eastern Seaboard. Touristmagnet beaches and countless wildlife could be ruined. Obama has halted any new offshore drilling projects unless rigs have new safeguards

to prevent another disaster. On Sunday he called the spill a “massive and potentially unprecedented environmental disaster,” and made clear that he was not accepting blame. “BP is responsible for this leak. BP will be paying the bill,” he said, rain dripping from his face in Venice, a Gulf Coast community serving as a staging area for the response. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has said any comparison between the ruptured BP oil well and Katrina was “a total mischaracterization” and that the government has taken an “all hands on deck” approach. After the oil rig explosion, which killed 11 people, the flow of oil should have been stopped by a blowout preventer, but the mechanism failed, as have continuing efforts to activate it. “As you can imagine, this is like doing open-heart surgery at 5,000 feet, with — in the dark, with robot-controlled submarines,” BP PLC Chairman Lamar McKay said on ABC’s “This Week.” He defended his company’s safety record. The containment boxes being built to stop the leak — 40 feet tall, 24 feet wide and 14 feet deep — were not part of the company’s original response plan. But they appear to be the best hope for keeping the oil well from gushing for months.

Sunday committed to pull Greece back from the brink of default, agreeing on $145 billion in emergency loans on the condition Athens make painful budget cuts and tax increases. The rescue is aimed at keeping Greece from defaulting on its debts and preventing its financial crisis from infecting other indebted countries just as Europe is struggling out of recession. After chiding Athens for years of mismanagement and cheating on their budget reporting, the IMF and Greece’s 15 partners that share the euro currency rewarded Prime Minister George Papandreou for tough measures including cuts in civil servant’s pay. R123114 “I have done and will do everything so the country does not go bankrupt,” Papandreou told a nation which now faces years of painful belt-tightening after years of overspending. France, Greece’s most sympathetic partner, agreed there was no other choice. “It’s a very harsh plan because there was a lot of laxity,” Finance Minister Christine Lagarde said. But even Germany, long the fiercest critic of Greece’s boundless spending, saw the need to back a euro-partner in such dire need — if only to keep the shared currency out of more trouble. The crisis is already threatening other eurozone countries with huge financial problems, including Portugal and Spain. “It is not an easy decision but there is no alternative,” German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said after the eurozone finance ministers approved the package in an emergency meeting in Brussels. Lagarde also insisted that “everyone has an interest in Greece being stable and trusted.” The plan will still need approval by some countries’ parliaments. But the eurogroup head, Luxembourg’s JeanClaude Juncker, said Greece will get the first funds by May 19, when Athens has a 10-year

April 20 oil rig explosion, was to blame. Even if the well is shut off in a week, fishermen and wildlife officials wonder how long it will take for the gulf to recover. Some compare it to the hurricane Louisiana is still recovering from after nearly five years. “It’s like a slow version of Katrina,” Venice charter boat captain Bob Kenney said. “My kids will be talking about the effect of this when they’re my age.” More than 6,800 square miles of fishing areas, from the mouth of the Mississippi to Florida’s Pensacola Bay were closed for at least 10 days on Sunday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco says government scientists are taking samples from the waters near the spill to determine whether there is any danger. Fishermen still were out working, however: They have been dropping miles of inflatable, oil-capturing boom around the region’s fragile wetlands and prime fishing areas. Bad weather, however, was thwarting much of the work; Alabama Gov. Bob Riley said 80 percent of the booms laid down off his state over the previous three days had broken down. The Coast Guard and BP have said it’s nearly impossible to know exactly how much oil has gushed since the blast, though it has been roughly estimated the well was spewing at least 200,000 gallons a day. At that rate, the spill would eclipse the 1989 Exxon Valdez incident as the worst U.S. oil disaster in history in a matter of weeks. “None of us have ever had experience at this level before. It ain’t good,” said Bob Love, coastal and nongame resources administrator with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. “The longer it goes, the more fish and wildlife impacts there will be.” Even if the oil stays mostly offshore, the consequences could be dire for sea turtles,

OPINION TO THE

The Monday forum

Obama goes nuclear; more power to him I

Regarding the April 25 article “A first lady spends a day in Salisbury,” which was a reprint of a column by Eleanor Roosevelt: It appears that First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was mistaken about where she spent part of her day on Aug. 14, 1942. The article quotes Mrs. Roosevelt’s column, which appeared in newspapers across the country. “The YMCA arranged for some kind ladies to take me to see the town and one of the big cotton mills ... known as Cannon Mills. They employ some 16,000 people ...” This must have been the mill in Kannapolis because the mill in Salisbury was not nearly that big. Also: “They have a most beautiful building in which the YMCA and YWCA are housed, and they tell me that this “Y” has the biggest membership of any in the United States.” This describes the Kannapolis YMCA (of that time), not the must smaller one in Salisbury; however, the boast was exaggerated because the Kannapolis “Y” was the largest in the Southeast, not the entire United States. The Kannapolis Library has a picture of Eleanor Roosevelt with C.A. Cannon standing at the front entrance to the YMCA, sow e know that she was in Kannapolis at some time. There is at least one picture at Whitley’s Funeral Home that attests to this fact. I’m sure that after a long and arduous tour, it would have been understandable for her to be temporarily confused as to which small southern town she was in at any given time. — Johnny Goforth Kannapolis

On April 28, my wife and I were in Concord and stopped at a place we had not been in seven years — the place were I had spent 11 years of my life, her six years. Back then, it was known as the Gibson Mill; then later, Fieldcrest Cannon Plant Six. Today it is known again as the Gibson Mill, housing an antique mall, auto museum another business. You only have to go there now to understand what is going on. We strolled through what used to be a warehouse that housed sheets and pillowcases and now houses antiques from a bygone era. Things that were used by people who worked here when this building was used to supply a living that raised families. There, I met an old friend who was still working there. He told my wife and I of the building that housed the sheet department. We needed to go over and see the cars there now. As we strolled over the grounds, we started to reminisce about the days not so long ago. As we got to the building and walked inside, we could not help but remember that this is where it all happened. Every sheet and pillowcase that covered the world came from here. The cars that are in the building now are beautiful and are themselves a reflection of past times. But on July 30, 2003, that all changed; the place in which we stood went silent. All of the people there, our extended family, were changed for ever. But the folks that have taken this place over are doing a great job to bring it back to life. The buildings are still there but now in another capacity. For a second, while we looked at the cars, I thought I heard sewing machines. To the folks at Gibson Mills, thanks for the memories. — Virgil Ashby

found myself wondering: Whatever happened to tennis being a “gentleman’s sport”? I played well over 25 years ago, but the boys’ tennis teams were very different then. There was no talking to your teammates during the match — especially name-calling your opponent. The white lines were in .. period. It didn’t matter if the whole ball touched the line, or if a little bit of the ball was in ... If any part of the ball touched the line, the call was “in.” Otherwise, it was cheating, and the coaches wouldn’t allow it. What I saw at this tournament was pitiful, in all the matches, all the schools. One coach yelled across the court, ‘Just one more game, guys! Let’s wrap this up.” I understand encouraging your team, but across the the entire court for everyone to hear, especially the other team? As a first time “tennis mom,” I had heard the rumors about how each team had its quirks and reputations. Unfortunately, they were true. How sad. The lack of sportsmanship blew me away! The kids talking to each other on the sidelines very loudly about how the other team was playing, about how good they were, about how the other team looked stupid, goofy, etc. The tempers on the courts were astounding. The spectators began to get obnoxious during the last match as well. I was so disappointed throughout the season with a lot of matches. Some matches were fun, and we laughed and enjoyed them. Like tennis should be ... no tension or anger. But, I guess that was yesteryear. Now, it is so competitive for some teams, they feel the only way they can win is to make bad calls, jeer at opponents (or have teammates do it) and make the sport unenjoyable for others. Pitiful, actually. — Wendy Douglas Faith

lion in American workers’ retirement accounts. He is going to save us from the evil financial sector. The Obama product is called a government retirement annuity. This annuity will provide us with a safe, secure and steady income — along with Social Security. The government annuity idea has been talked about for a couple of years. On Jan. 25, 2010, Obama began a silent campaign to make the idea work. The American worker has saved retirement money hour by hour, dollar by dollar — in spite of Social Security taxes, Medicare taxes, state taxes and federal taxes. We have been responsible for our own finance and security. I am furious at the arrogance and deception with which this confiscation of our savings is being developed and sold! Think our money can’t be stolen? Look at the happenings in Argentina and Brazil in the last couple of years. These people must be dealt with severely at the voting booth now! — Irene Dalton Salisbury

‘Papers’ — a scary word Once again the progressives have been allowed to define the issue. The progressives’ newest scare tactic is the use of the word “papers” stating that the

Arizona law will put people at risk of having their “papers checked,” police will ask to see “their papers.” This is sensitive terminology taken from the Nazi Germany era by the progressive movement in an attempt to cement the passing of a simple law with the attempt to exterminate a race. During this blight in the world’s history, those who were not obviously of the Aryan race were required to show “their papers.” However, to use this as an analogy to the Arizona law is ludicrous. The Nazis’ purpose in demanding to see someone’s “papers” was to determine their race not their legal residency in the country. When was the last time anyone in the United States was asked for “their papers?” If stopped by the police, we may be asked for our driver’s license or some other form of identification. To obtain certain documents, we may be asked to produce a birth certificate (presidency of the United States not withstanding) if the situation required, but being asked to see “their papers?” I think not. Every American, Jewish or not, should be insulted by the suggestion that requesting identification by the police under certain circumstances is analogous to asking to see “their papers.” It is in our national interest to document the “undocumented” in our country; otherwise we will soon have no country. — Chuck Hughes Salisbury

was quite pleased to see President Obama announce the pending construction of two nuclear power plants here in the Southeast, one north of Augusta, Ga., and one south thereof. The jobs, both temporary (construction) and permanent (operators), this will bring are very important, but more importantly it will leave in place facilities sorely needed if America is ever to realize the power it needs to drive its “economic engine” along with cleaner air. An inexpensive and immense amount of electrical power is the key to resolving many energy and environmental issues. Solar panels and wind turbines are great for clean air, but they cannot provide enough electrical power to fulfill America’s gargantuan thirst for such. Some estimates project that if solar panels were placed over the entire area of the United States, they could not provide the demand for electrical power; wind turbines are not much better. So, what should we do? Optimally high-tech, safe nuclear power is a key ingredient for America’s power thirst. But we must realize all attendant necessities for nuclear power, such as a safe nuclear waste storage site. The feds are said to be closing down the Yucca Mountain storage site with no real alternative planned. This is a chink in our “nuclear armor,” and it must be addressed. The feds must also accelerate the nuclear power plant permit process. Obviously, safety must not be overlooked in any process. Our motor vehicles, so important to our lifestyle, are energy hungry and a major source of air pollution. Acceptable technology must be developed to transition these vehicles to all electric power; better technology is needed in order to give our people confidence in such vehicles. They Ty Cobb, Jr. must be powerful, lives in Rockwell. fast, big enough, have a range of at least 400 miles per charge and must be able to recharge in the same time it takes to “fill up,” say 15 minutes. Until manufacturers realize such vehicles, it will be difficult for the general public to accept them in large numbers. Imagine the increase in electrical power needed to provide the “charges” for nationwide charging stations. Realistically, nuclear power is the only viable solution for such a demand. Until the necessary technologies for allelectric vehicles are developed, we must deal with the use of fossil fuels. Hybrid vehicles, the logical first step towards all electric, will require petroleum fuels for one or two decades, and there may be some vehicles, such as airplanes, the will require those fuels for many decades. We must develop fossil fuels with which God has blessed us, e.g., offshore fields and Alaska’s ANWAR region; that would also create jobs (many in North Carolina) and reduce, if not eliminate, our dependency upon Middle East oil. The recent off-shore explosion in the Gulf of Mexico notwithstanding, such spills from off-shore drilling and extraction activities have been minimal. Recall that even Hurricane Katrina produced no major spills/leaks from Gulf oil rigs. Hydro-electric generation is another clean process for generating electric power that needs to be carefully analyzed and developed where feasible. We can learn from the construction and use of the dams along the West’s Colorado River basin. Keep in mind that even Lake Meade behind Hoover Dam is dramatically below desired levels and has been shrinking for the last decade. Some have predicted that should the Western drought continue, Lake Meade will be dried up in roughly 13 years. There are likely some regions of the United States where nuclear or hydro-electric plants are not feasible, so clean coal or fuel-oil fired plants may be needed. A comprehensive national study, totally non-political (good luck), needs to be developed to analyze all the above energy options and realize a national energy plan that would provide for a cleaner America and satisfy the gargantuan energy thirst of a future America. This should have been done years ago, but it is never too late to start. Charge!

Police tow a vehicle from New York’s Times Square early Sunday after an ‘amateurish’ but potentially powerful bomb was found inside it.

BOMB FROM 1A Jackson said he looked in the car and saw keys in the ignition with 19 or 20 keys on a ring. He said he alerted a passing mounted police officer. They were looking in the car “when the smoke started

coming out and then we heard the little pop pop pop like firecrackers going out and that’s when everybody scattered and ran back,” he said. “Now that I saw the propane tanks and the gasoline, what if that would have ignited?” Jackson said. “I’m less than 8 feet away from the car. We dodged a bullet here.”

Heavily armed police and emergency vehicles shut down the city’s busiest streets, choked with taxis and people on one of the first summerlike days of the year. Times Square lies about four trafficchoked miles north of where terrorists bombed the World Trade Center in 1993, then laid waste to it on Sept. 11, 2001.

She teaches Sunday School for middle school students at her church, Highest Praise Family Worship Center. She also helps teach children 9 to 11 years old on Wednesdays. “I like to give back to kids what God has blessed me with,” Porter said. “I just love children.” Porter grew up in Landis and graduated from Rowan Technical College — now Rowan-Cabarrus Community College — with a degree in criminal justice. Before she enrolled, she prayed over the college’s curriculum book and felt led to pursue law enforcement. “I wanted to be in a position where I could be used to help people,” Porter said.

United Airlines and Continental Airlines agreed to combine in a $3 billion stock swap to create the world’s biggest airline, people with knowledge of the deal said Sunday. The transaction will test the notion that the money-losing airline business can work better on a large scale. Corporate travelers love a wide choice of departure times and a worldwide network, and the combined United and Continental will have flights reaching from Shanghai to South America. The transaction is to be announced this morning after it gained approval from both airlines’ boards Sunday, the people said. They declined to be identified because the transaction hasn’t been announced. The companies are expected to describe it as a merger of equals. But travelers will see more of United once the deal closes. The United name will live on and the headquarters will be in Chicago, United’s hometown. United shareholders will own about 55 percent of the combined company, the people said. Continental CEO Jeffery Smisek will run the combined

airline. Its chairman will be Glenn Tilton, current chairman and CEO of United parent UAL Corp., who has been looking to do a major airline deal for years. One of the people said the airline’s board will include six independent directors from each airline, as well as two union representatives and Smisek and Tilton. Continental shareholders will get 1.05 UAL shares in exchange for each one of theirs. The companies hope to close the deal by the end of the year, the people said. To do that they’ll need approval from shareholders as well as antitrust regulators. Just 18 months ago the Justice Department allowed Delta Air Lines Inc. to buy Northwest Airlines to form what is currently the world’s largest airline. But many in the industry have wondered whether the Justice Department under the Obama administration will be as inclined to approve a megaairline as it was under George W. Bush. Continental and United overlap on 13 nonstop routes, J.P. Morgan analyst Jamie Baker wrote in a note on Friday, compared with 12 overlaps in the Delta-Northwest deal.

Kid conquers Quail BY DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — All the buzz about Rory McIlroy came to life Sunday at the Quail Hollow Championship with one dazzling shot after another in a record round that made him the PGA Tour’s youngest winner since Tiger Woods. Explosive as ever, the 20-year-old from Northern Ireland was 5 under over the final five holes to set the course record at 10-under 62 and win by four shots over Masters champion Phil Mickelson. McIlroy finished in style, rolling in a 40-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole and thrusting his fist into the air. “I suppose I got into the zone,” said McIlroy, who celebrates his 21st birthday on Tuesday. “I hadn’t realized I was going in 9, 10 under. I just know I got ASSOCIATED PRESS my nose in front and I was just trying Rory McIlroy, 20, reacts to the birdie putt on No. 18 that capped to stay there.” his course record 62 at Quail Hollow. It capped a big Sunday for golf’s

young stars. Earlier in the day, 18-yearold Ryo Ishikawa shot a record 58 in the final round to win on the Japan Golf Tour. McIlroy delivered an awesome display of skill that left two-time major champion Angel Cabrera in his wake and thrilled thousands of fans on a steamy day at Quail Hollow. With a one-shot lead, McIlroy hit a 5-iron from 207 yards up the hill to 3 feet for eagle on the 15th. From a fairway bunker on the 16th, he hit 7-iron to 5 feet for another birdie. Then came the finish, when he knocked in a 40-foot putt that made fans leap from their chairs and had made McIlroy’s freckled-face burst with joy. He finished at 15-under 273 and won $1.17 million. Woods, who missed the cut this week, was 20 years and 10 months when he won his first PGA Tour event in Las Vegas in 1996.

NSSA WEEKEND

App State still on my mind he headline in Sunday’s Salisbury Post read, “Edwards impresses Panthers.” That’s no surprise to David Jackson, the playby-play man at Appalachian State. Armanti Edwards took Jackson and the MounRONNIE taineer fans GALLAGHER on quite a ride during his career in Boone. Three straight FCS national titles. And of course, the fabled win in the Big House against Michigan in the 2007 season opener. Edwards was drafted by Carolina in the recent NFL Draft and Jackson said the Greenwood, S.C., native will succeed, even though he’s at receiver and not quarterback. “We all understand the work ethic he’s got,” said Jackson, who is in Salisbury for the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Weekend as a National Board member. Jackson is always prepared to talk Appalachian State football. No one is happier for Edwards than he is. “Everybody in Boone is looking at it as the perfect storybook ending to a fantastic career,” Jackson said. “From our perspective, selfishly, he’s not that far away, but he doesn’t have to relo-

Jackson expects the same show in the NFL, only now, it will come after catching the football, not throwing it. “He has a passion for

learning the game,” Jackson said. “Transitioning that into a new role, for him, I don’t think will be any problem.” • Of course, Edwards’ greatest achievement came on Sept. 1, 2007 when he led the Mountaineers over the fifth-ranked Wolverines. Jackson’s greatest achievement was broadcasting the game with analyst

Hawks hammer Bucks in Game 7 BY PAUL NEWBERRY Associated Press

ATLANTA — With more than three Hawks 95 minutes to Bucks 74 go, the Atl a n t a Hawks began pulling their starters. Al Horford flapped his hands, egging on the already raucous crowd. Joe Johnson clapped for the fans, then dropped his head in what looked more like relief than celebration. The Hawks were moving

on in the playoffs. What a contrast from the last game in Atlanta. After keeping their season alive with a gutty win in Milwaukee, the Hawks made sure the Bucks were in no position to duplicate their improbable Game 5 road win. Playoff rookie Jamal Crawford scored 22 points, Horford put up a double-double and Atlanta pulled away for a 95-74 win Sunday that gave the Hawks a 4-3 triumph in the tougherthan-expected series. Last Wednesday, the fa-

Steve Brown. You remember it. When Corey Lynch blocked a Michigan field goal with six seconds left for a 34-32 Appalachian State win, Jackson’s scream was heard on ESPN — and every other network — for the rest of the season: “The Mountaineers of Appalachian State have just beaten the Michigan Wolver-

ines in the Big House!” Almost three years later, he is still bombarded by fans wanting stories from that sun-splashed afternoon in Ann Arbor. He has probably told them a thousand times and it never gets old for the graduate of the school. “That’s going to be Appalachian State’s signature mark forever,” Jackson said.

“Now that some of those players are either graduating or establishing themselves in the NFL like Corey Lynch, and like Armanti Edwards, the feel-good comes back around. As they’re introduced to the league, it’s ‘Oh, there’s Armanti Edwards. He beat Michigan in 2007.’ ”

Area athletes update ... It took 218 official at-bats, but Charlotte shortstop Justin Roland (East Rowan) is now officially a home run hitter. Batting ninth for the 49ers, Roland connected for his first college homer in the third inning of a 23-0 trouncing of A-10 foe Temple on Saturday. He drove in six runs in the romp. Roland, 5-foot-7, 166 pounds, hit six homers at East and nine in his four-year Rowan County American Legion career. Ross Steedley (East) went 1-for-2 in the Temple game, and Corbin Shive (East) pitched the ninth to finish the shutout.  UNC Pembroke’s Zach “Rudy” Brown (South Rowan) has enjoyed a strong senior season. The 6-foot-6, 245-pound lefty owns a 4-3

record with a 2.25 ERA in 22 appearances (21 in relief) and has fanned 50 batters in 40 innings. A spectator at Friday’s South-East thriller, Brown is a candidate for the June draft. Several MLB teams have scouted the big guy.  UNC Pembroke inROLAND fielder Matt Ingold (South) only has three hits this season, but he’s also reached base 10 times on walks and has been hit by pitches five times. He has an on-base percentage of .486 despite a .143 batting average. Recruiting South Rowan center fielder Blake Houston has officially signed with Catawba’s baseball program.

It’s tournament time From staff reports

The NPC, YVC and SPC baseball tournaments start tonight — weather permitting — with higher seeded teams at home.  YVC No. 6 seed North Rowan is on the road at No. 3 Albemarle.  SPC No. 5 seed A.L. Brown is at No. 4 Concord tonight.  In the NPC, No. 7 North Iredell is at No. 2 West Iredell; No. 3 Carson is at home against No. 6 Statesville; and No. 4 South Rowan is at home against No. 5 West Rowan. There’s been much discussion concerning the NPC three-way tie — Carson, South Rowan and West Rowan all finished 7-5 — but the NCHSAA tiebreaking procedure is clear and has been used in the past, most notably by the NPC in the 2002 girls basketball season when there were only three playoff berths and three strong teams tied for second place. The top priority in the NCHSAA tiebreaking procedure is to determine conference standings. The procedure for breaking a tie in the standings reads: If two or more teams have equal conference percentages, the team that has the edge in head-to-head competition will get the higher place in the standings. All conference games played against each other would count in the head-tohead competition. Example: Teams A, B and C are tied in the conference standings with identical records. In games among the three — A was 3-1, B was 2-2 and C was 1-3. The tie is broken. The NPC baseball season is a textbook A-B-C scenario. The NCHSAA considers the three-way tie broken. Carson swept West Rowan. Carson is third. South, which split with both, is fourth. West Rowan is fifth. The NCHSAA stresses that the tiebreaking procedure to determine conference standings be employed as the first order of business because it solves numerous complications that can arise trying to seed the tournament and the state playoffs. East Rowan has wrapped up the NPC’s No. 1 seed for the 3A playoffs regardless of what transpires in the tournament. If any team other than East wins the tournament that team claims the NPC’s No. 2 seed for the playoffs. The NPC gets four state playoff berths. Assuming the NCHSAA tiebreaking procedure is employed, West Rowan, Statesville or North Iredell would have to win the NPC tournament to qualify. If one of those three does win the tournament, then No. 4 South would be the team that’s bumped out.

 McCanless Couples The McCanless Couples played a nine-hole match on Sunday with a Best Ball format with men drawing for partners at the end. Brett Leslie and Kim Kincaid had a 37 for first place. Second place went to Juan Garcia and Liz Murphy in a scorecard playoff. Brett Leslie won longest putt and Chris Livengood won closest to pin.

 College golf Top-ranked Nova Southeastern and Florida Southern share the lead after the first round of the Division II Super Region 2 Women’s Golf Tournament, hosted by Catawba at the 6,094-yard Country Club of Salisbury. The 54-hole tournament concludes on Tuesday. The top three teams and top three individuals not a member of the three qualifying teams will advance to the D-II Nationals. Individually, no player broke par in windy conditions. Joanna Coe (Rollins), Maha Haddioui (Lynn) and Jessica Tarbet (Carson-Newman) shot 72s to share the first-round lead. Catawba’s Kelsey Babos shot 80. See Scoreboard.

 East track closed The East Rowan track will be closed to the public Tuesday and Wednesday in preparation for the NPC Championships on Wednesday.

Montreal, Sharks grab victories Associated Press NHL playoffs... PITTSBURGH — Mike Cammalleri scored two goals, Jaroslav Halak made 38 saves in a performance much like his series-stealing play during Montreal’s first-round victory over Washington and the Canadiens beat the Pittsburgh 3-1 on Sunday. Brian Gionta also scored as Montreal, playing without injured defenseman Andrei Markov, bounced back from a 6-3 loss in Game 1 and an early 1-0 Pittsburgh lead to even the Eastern Conference semifinal series. Game 3 is Tuesday night in Montreal.

Halak, pulled after allowing five goals on 20 shots in Game 1, made big save after big save as the Canadiens won despite being outshot 39-21. Sidney Crosby didn’t score for the second successive game, and neither did Evgeni Malkin. Sharks 4, Red Wings 3 SAN JOSE, Calif. — Joe Thornton scored his first goal of the playoffs with 7:23 left to give San Jose a 2-0 lead in the second-round series. Joe Pavelski kept up his sizzling postseason for San Jose, scoring twice to push his NHL-high playoff total to nine and setting up Ryane Clowe’s between-the-legs score. Thornton then won it by ending his playoff drought.

Sauter wins NASCAR Trucks event Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Johnny Sauter made a miraculous save after a late-race bump and held off hard-charging Ron Hornaday Jr. to win a wild, rain-delayed NASCAR Trucks race at Kansas Speedway. Hornaday, the pole sitter, overcame a troublesome fender rubbing his left rear tire to charge up next to Sauter with 13 laps left Sunday. As

they tried to pass two lapped cars, Hornaday climbed the track and clipped Sauter, sending the cars into almost 45-degree slides at over 150 mph. The two drivers, who also collided at Martinsville, made grip-thesteering-wheel saves, straightening out their cars as white smoke billowed from the wheels. Sauter bumped the wall in the collision and pulled away after that for his second career trucks win.

Teenager Ishikawa shoots 58 on Japan Tour Associated Press Golf roundup ... TOGO, Japan — Ryo Ishikawa shot a 12-under 58 — the lowest score ever on a major tour — to win The Crowns on Sunday for his seventh Japan Tour title. The 18-year-old Ishikawa tapped in for par on the par-4 18th after his 15-foot birdie try slid inches by the cup. He had 12 birdies in his bogeyfree round on the 6,545-yard Nagoya

Durhams: The First Family of NSSA BY RONNIE GALLAGHER rgallagher@salisburypost.com

The NSSA notebook ... We call the Durhams “the First Family of the NSSA.” And for good reason. One of them is usually here as a winner in the annual National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Awards Weekend. The 51st edition of the awards have both Woody Durham, the North Carolina Sportscaster of the Year, and son, Wes, the Georgia Sportscaster of the Year, in Salisbury. For Woody, the voice of UNC, it’s win No. 14. For Wes, who calls Georgia Tech games, it’s No. 6. Woody comes in today for some golf with his son. Wes came earlier and it’s easy to tell he’s humbled by it all. “It’s very special,” he said, adding he and his dad both won three years ago and didn’t attend. But they were together — on a golf trip to Ireland. How much do they discuss their trade during the heated ACC basketball season? “We talk about games and teams we’re setting up to play,” Wes said. “If I played Clemson, and he’s getJON C.

Marty Brennaman has been doing play-by-play of Cincinnati Reds games for a long time. The games he calls are getting long, too. Way too long. Brennaman is in Salisbury for the annual National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Weekend. He had BRENNAMAN no problem hiding his disdain for the drawn out, four-hour ballgames. “I’ve got the scorebooks of every game I’ve ever done,” Brennaman said. “I go back and look at the games that were played in the 70s when I got there on into the 80s. Two hours, 10 minutes. Two hours, 20 minutes. Now, you’ve got games approaching four hours. Something has to be done about it.” ESPN’s opener this year between the Red Sox and Yankees dragged on for three hours, 46 minutes. “It’s ridiculous to have games the length that they are,” Brennaman said. And doubleheaders? They’re fading away. Brennaman, who cut his teeth calling American Legion games in Salisbury, is asked why there aren’t more doubleheaders. “Because people don’t want to sit through seven, eight hours of baseball,” he pointed out. “The same thing has to do with going to the ballpark and sitting for four hours and watching a nineinning baseball game.” Will anything be done? To me, there are so many ways they can shorten up the games, if they were serious about it,” he said. “They talk a good game, but they’re really not. “I think, everything we do as an industry, we do in turtle-like fashion. We don’t jump on an issue, realize something has to be done about it, and implement changes. We don’t do that. We have the commissioner come out and say, ‘We’ll appoint a blue-ribbon committee.”

WITTE

GALLAGHER FROM 1B Jackson said no one in Boone is tired of recalling the win, including coach Jerry Moore. “He doesn’t run from it, he embraces it,” Jackson said. “But he’s ready to write a new chapter.” • That chapter could include an important contribution from Salisbury graduate Gordy Witte, a 6-foot-5 monster defensive lineman. “Gordy is going to benefit from having a few guys graduate in front of him,” Jackson said. “He is counted on to be a big part of the interior play. He’s got a chance to really blossom and become the type of player everybody thought he was going to be when he got there.” Jackson said the Appalachian State team that hits the field in 2010 is prepared for fans to talk about the future, not the past. “This is a largely sophomore and junior-dominated team,” Jackson said. “I think they’re ready to make their own mark.” • Contact Ronnie Gallagher at 704-7967-4287 or rgallagher@salisburypost.com.

Gordon: Second again

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Utah’s Wesley Matthews tries to put pressure on Kobe Bryant, right. field goal after taking a 93-89 lead with 4:10 to play. Utah has lost 15 straight to the Lakers at Staples Center, including seven playoff games. Los Angeles will host Game 2 of the best-of-seven series on Tuesday night. Carlos Boozer had 18 points and 12 rebounds for Utah. Paul Millsap and C.J. Miles contributed 16 points apiece, including several difficult baskets in the fourth quarter while the Jazz surged ahead with a 12-1 run. It wasn’t enough to stop Bryant, who took over right

FROM 1B court to boos from their own fans, down 3-2 in the series. This time, nothing but cheers. “We let ’em down in Game 5,” Josh Smith said. “We enjoyed every minute of this.” The Hawks can only hope they didn’t expend too much energy in the only first-round series to go the distance. Third-seeded Atlanta advanced to face No. 2 Orlando in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Magic, who beat the Hawks in three out of four regular-season meetings and have been resting since a sweep of Charlotte last Monday, will host the first two games of the series beginning Tuesday night. “We’ve got to be more hungry and determined to get over the hump,” Johnson said. “We can’t just beat this team based on talent. We’ve got to play harder.” They could get away with less than 100 percent against the Bucks, whose hopes of a playoff upset were essentially undone with about two weeks to go in the regular season when

when Utah’s excited bench seemed certain it was headed to an upset win. Both teams finished their first-round series roughly 36 hours earlier, with the Lakers winning at Oklahoma City on Gasol’s last-second tip-in shortly before Utah held off Denver. Lakers center Andrew Bynum started and played 24 minutes after discovering a small tear in the meniscus of his right knee Saturday. The 7-footer wore a large brace on his knee, but didn’t appear limited while collecting eight points and 10 rebounds. Utah also has pronounced injury problems. With Andrei Kirilenko still sidelined with a strained left calf and center Mehmet Okur out for the postseason, the Jazz struggled to guard the Lakers inside when Los Angeles forced the ball down low. But the Lakers sometimes seemed disinterested, a mood matched by the crowd. After the Lakers’ consecutive losses to Oklahoma City inspired a crackling atmosphere for their blowout win in Game 5 last week, Staples Center was back to its usual relaxed state. Los Angeles gave out thousands of white T-shirts in an apparent attempt at a whiteout crowd to go with the Lakers’ Sunday white uniforms.

Andrew Bogut tumbled to the court and ripped apart his right arm. The 7-foot center was actually in uniform for the final game, but that was a mere formality — he was done for the year, watching with a large cast on his hand. “We can’t think about all the ifs,” Carlos Delfino said. “Yes, we missed his presence in the paint. But glory to the guys who kept fighting. We just tried to be as positive as we possibly could.” Not much to be positive about in the season finale. The Bucks made less than a third of their shots (28 of 86), were blocked eight times and, clearly rattled, threw up at least three airballs. They simply didn’t have enough weapons to cope with an Atlanta team that was fired up and ready to give its best. Rookie Brandon Jennings led the way with just 15 points and took 18 shots. “I think we were missing one piece, and that was Bogut,” Jennings said. “I wanted to walk out sad, but I had to keep my head up because we were down a couple players (Michael Redd also sustained a season-ending injury). We did the best we could. “We showed a lot of people that the Milwaukee Bucks can actually hang in this league.”

Bryant, Gasol too much

Busch dominated the early portion of the race, leading 221 of the first 229 laps while picking off traffic one-by-one until only eight cars remained on the lead lap. Two debris cautions helped even out the field, and Busch’s car faded to give Gordon control of the race. But Busch was lurking in second on the final restart, with five laps remaining — a short burst of racing that didn’t suit the strength of Gordon’s Chevrolet. He knew Busch would be better on the restart, and chose the inside line for the final go. “Kyle was just unbelievable on the restarts,” Gordon said. “I followed him enough times early in the race to watch him run around the bottom on the inside. I knew that if I gave him the inside, he was going to drive by me faster than he did on the outside. I was struggling on that last restart.” Just an unfortunate sequence of cautions for us that wasn’t to our favor and we finished second.”

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — For the time being, Tim Tebow will be less improv artist and more pocket passer. The faster the Denver Broncos rookie quarterback learns the system, though, the quicker those restraints may come off. Tebow got off on the right foot during the Broncos’ rookie minicamp this weekend, impressing his new coach, Josh McDaniels, with his motivation to improve. Then again, that’s never been the issue.

RICHMOND, Va. — Jeff Gordon crossed the finish line in silence, unsure of what to say after losing yet another race this season. The four-time NASCAR champion remained winless on the season after Kyle Busch beat him with a late pass Saturday night at Richmond International Raceway. Crew chief Steve Letarte was the first to finally speak, breaking the silence with a brief pep talk to the deflated No. 24 crew. “Good job guys, another good car,” Letarte said on the radio. “We’re going to get him one.” Eventually, the law of averages is going to even out and Gordon is going to get a win. Until then, though, he’ll have to suffer through frustrating near-misses that have pushed Gordon’s losing streak to 39 races. His last win was at Texas last year, and he’s actually won just one of his last 87 races. But he’s sure come close quite often. It was his eighth second-place finish since last year’s Texas victory. “It’s a little disappointing we haven’t won some races yet,” Gordon said. “If we keep doing this, those will come. We’ve got to keep putting ourselves in position.” Gordon has done a great job of doing that this year, which so far appears to be a resurgence after two sub-par seasons. He went down to the wire in an intense 2007 championship battle with teammate Jimmie Johnson, then followed it with a winless 2008. Although he finished third in last year’s final standings, he was clearly behind both Johnson and Mark Martin, the two Hendrick Motorsports drivers who beat him in the standings. This year, Gordon has been

the late leader in four races only to lose because of cautions and restarts. He’s led a series-high 599 laps, but instead of wins, he’s has settled for a pair of second-place finishes and a pair of thirds. Although anxious to get back to Victory Lane, Gordon is pleased. “We’re a team that’s made huge strides, in my opinion, from last year,” he said. “Even though we finished third in the points last year, I don’t feel we were near as competitive as we are right now. That’s what I’m excited about. We’re leading laps, a bunch of laps, at a lot of different types of tracks. I think our team is really on top of our game.” Gordon led 144 of the 400 laps at Richmond, including 123 straight in a race that had just three early cautions before a flurry of late activity. With three more cautions over the final 36 laps, Gordon figured it would be too difficult to stop the late pass, particularly if Busch could put himself in contention.

LOS ANGELES — Just in case the Utah Jazz forgot how K o b e Lakers 104 Bryant finJazz 99 i s h e s games, he provided another painful playoff reminder. Bryant scored 11 of his 31 points in the final four minutes, and the Los Angeles Lakers blew a fourth-quarter lead before rallying for a 104-99 victory over the Jazz in their second-round series opener Sunday. Pau Gasol had 25 points and 12 rebounds for the topseeded Lakers, who played a dismal final period before Bryant seized control. Last season’s NBA finals MVP scored seven straight points to erase Utah’s four-point lead, followed by a dynamic slice through the lane for a layup with 22.6 seconds left. The clubs are meeting in the postseason for the third consecutive year after the Lakers ended Utah’s last two seasons, including a firstround victory in 2009. In each of the teams’ previous five playoff meetings, the winner went on to the NBA finals. Deron Williams scored 24 points for fifth-seeded Utah, which managed just one more

Rollins news not good Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins still feels tightness in his strained right calf and says it could be the end of the month before he returns to the lineup. Rollins has been on the disabled since April 14 during warmups before Philadelphia’s home opener. Rollins said before Sunday’s game against the Mets he’d like to be back in two weeks. “I’ve pulled a muscle, I’ve strained my groin a little, but not something like this where you feel like somebody shot you. That’s different,” Rollins said. “I’ve never been in that situation. They said two to four weeks and they weren’t talking about being healthy; they were talking about determining the next step would be.”

Davis wins pitching duel with Greinke Associated Press ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Wade Davis beat Zack Greinke in a scintillating pitchers’ duel, and Evan Longoria homered in the fourth inning to lift the Tampa Bay Rays over the Kansas City Royals 1-0 on Sunday. Davis (3-1) allowed three hits, three walks and struck out five in seven innings during his latest matchup with an American League ace. The right-hander has faced the opposing team’s opening day starter — including New York Yankees lefty CC Sabathia and Boston’s Josh Beckett — in all five of his starts this year. Greinke (0-3) gave up four hits in his 10th career complete game and first this season. The 2009 AL Cy Young Award winner, who has a 2.27 ERA, struck out six. He threw 65 of 87 pitches for strikes and never went to a three-ball count. Orioles 3, Red Sox 2, 10 innings BALTIMORE — Ty Wigginton doubled home the winning run in the 10th inning following a throwing error by Boston closer Jonathan Papelbon, giving Baltimore its first three-game sweep of the Red Sox at home in 36 years. Miguel Tejada had two hits and scored a run for the Orioles, whose three-game winning streak is a season high. The Orioles swept a four-game series from Boston at Camden Yards in 1998, but hadn’t swept a three-game set against the Red Sox in Baltimore since Sept. 2-4, 1974. The Orioles are 4-2 against the Red Sox after going 2-16 against them last year. Yankees 12, White Sox 3 NEW YORK — Mark Teixeira tied a ca-

Tigers 5, Angels 1 DETROIT — Justin Verlander took a one-hit shutout into the ninth inning and Miguel Cabrera hit an RBI single in a fourrun fifth, leading Detroit past Los Angeles for its season-best fifth straight victory. Verlander (2-2) retired 23 in a row before pinch-hitter Maicer Izturis singled with one out in the ninth and Erick Aybar followed with an RBI single to end the righthander’s day. Jose Valverde finished the four-hitter. Twins 8, Indians 3 CLEVELAND— Delmon Young and rookie Wilson Ramos each had four of Minnesota’s 20 hits and the Twins got another strong start from Francisco Liriano to beat Cleveland. Ramos became the first Twins player with four hits in his major league debut since Kirby Puckett on May 8, 1984. Young homered and tied a career high with his four hits. Blue Jays 9, Athletics 3 TORONTO — Shaun Marcum won for the first time since 2008, supported by homers by Fred Lewis, Alex Gonzalez and Aaron Hill in Toronto’s victory over Oakland. Rangers 3, Mariners 1 (11) SEATTLE — David Murphy hit a tying single in the ninth inning and a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the 11th, rallying Texas to a victory. Mariners starter Doug Fister allowed only three hits in eight scoreless innings, but Murphy singled off closer David Aardsma to drive in Elvis Andrus.

Broken blood vessels plague reader Dear Dr. Gott: I read an article about a person who broke blood vessels frequently. I used to break them at least three times a week, so my doctor ran blood tests. She told me to increase my vitamin C intake, which I did. But what really helped DR. PETER was when I started drinkGOTT ing tart cherry-juice concentrate, usually taken for joint pain. I still break blood vessels but not as frequently and only in my fingers or toes. Dear Reader: A contusion or bruise occurs when tiny blood vessels near the surface of the skin are damaged or broken. This is often the result of a direct blow to the skin, such as hitting a hand or shin against a piece of furniture. Blood leaks from the injured blood vessels into the surrounding tissues, and a colorful bruise results. We tend to bruise much more readily as we age, perhaps because blood vessels become more fragile and skin thins. Also, a number of medications, including aspirin and anticoagulants, can cause bruising at the slightest pressure. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that can’t be manufactured in the human body. This vital component is obtained through diet and supplements but must be taken in moderation, because excesses can lead to abdominal distress, an in-

crease in iron absorption and kidney stones. Vitamin C is necessary for synthesis of collagen, an important structural component of blood vessels. This antioxidant is necessary for the growth and repair of tissues and the healing of wounds. With deficiency, easy bruising, weakened blood vessels, joint pain and bleeding can result. Vitamin K, produced by bacteria in the intestines, aids in blood clotting. Low levels of that vitamin can lead to excessive bleeding. Cherry-juice concentrate has been touted to control symptoms of gout, arthritis, headaches and a host of other ailments. The Food and Drug Administration warns manufacturers with regard to making false statements. Nonetheless, it certainly is possible that if you have less joint pain, you are less likely to stub your toes, bang your knees or whack your hands. The product cannot harm you and may be safer than some prescription drugs. I would feel better if you were to have your primarycare physician perform a complete examination to rule out any unknown medical conditions. Or perhaps you should request a referral to a hematologist (blood specialist) who can determine whether the problem is a clotting disorder. Dear Dr. Gott: I have a hiccup remedy that works. Stop up both ears with your fingers while drinking water. Because the act takes three hands, you’ll need

someone to lend one. This is a surefire way to stop them quickly. I love your column, wisdom and humility. Dear Reader: Well, the remedy is certainly worth a try. Now all we have to do is only get the hiccups when we have a third party to hold the glass of water! Does using a straw not work for this remedy? This might even beat holding your nose until they stop or bending over while drinking from the backside of a glass. Thanks for writing. 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.” UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE, INC.

Certain conditions you’ve been unable to control in the past year are likely to take a dramatic turn for the better in the year ahead. What transpires will make your life much happier both materially and socially. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Be on your toes, because today you should be able to achieve an important objective through some pretty shrewd political maneuvering. Let your common sense govern your actions. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Go along with the flow of events instead of trying to force what you want to happen, and chances are you’ll like the way things turn out. Sometimes it pays to lay low. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Spending some quality time with friends or associates whose thinking is in tune with yours could produce some very beneficial exchanges of ideas. Make the time to do so. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Put forth your best efforts, because those who pass out the rewards will make them bigger than usual if you do more than what is asked of you. The compensation could be quite generous. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Successful relationships with people you interact with could be greater than usual with minimum effort. You could even establish a new friendship in the process. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Allow friends to do for you what you would do for them if your roles were reversed, and some good things could come out of it. It always pays to be a gracious recipient. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Although most conditions are favorable for you today, your greatest benefits are likely to come from a partnership arrangement. It might be with someone with whom you’ve been involved before. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You are likely to have some better than usual chances for fulfilling an ambitious objective today. However, it will have to be well defined and will require some real effort. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — There are times when you need a break from certain routines that have become laborious, and today might be one of those days. Take some time off to enjoy an activity you truly enjoy. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Although you might not have direct control over certain developments that occur today, you’re likely to enjoy what transpires. Actually, an unexpected change might be refreshing. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Without deliberately trying to do so, your very presence might have a big influence over your involvements with others. However, it’ll be the type of force that brings harmony over dissension. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Making a profit should come more easily for you at this time, whether you are buying or selling. Apply yourself now while your financial picture looks so encouraging.

If you trust him, follow his lead It is interesting when a less capable player partners an expert. You would expect the weaker half of the partnership to follow the stronger’s defense. But I often see these players trying to show that they can work things out themselves. Of course, this usually results in their misdefending — as in this deal. East, the expert, was cautious when he passed over two spades. Even though his partner was a passed hand, since she had bid at unfavorable vulnerability, she probably had a good suit. Against two spades, West led the club king. The expert read the deal well and spotted the best defense. He overtook with his club ace and shifted to the spade four!

‘Nightmare’ scares up $32.2M LOS ANGELES (AP) — Freddy Krueger is raking in cash at the box office again, while Robert Downey Jr.’s “Iron Man 2” got off to a big start overseas. A remake of the slasher flick “A Nightmare on Elm Street” led the weekend with a $32.2 million debut domestically, according to studio estimates Sunday. Released by the Warner Bros. banner New Line, the movie features Jackie Earle Haley as Krueger, a psycho killer who stalks and slays victims in their dreams. Paramount’s “Iron Man 2” got an international head start on its domestic debut this Friday, pulling in $100.2 million in 53 foreign markets. While

Monday, May 3

Hollywood blockbusters typically open around the same date in most countries, some get an overseas jump of a week or more on their U.S. debuts. “Iron Man 2” brought in $12.2 million in Great Britain, $10.8 million in South Korea and $8.2 million in France. According to Paramount, the sequel had bigger openings than 2008’s “Iron Man” in every market. “Iron Man 2” continues the story of Downey’s billionaire superhero, a genius who builds himself a metal suit loaded with gadgets. Mickey Rourke co-stars as a new enemy with his own high-tech arsenal.

Now you would have expected West to follow her partner’s defense and to return a trump, which would have defeated the contract. No — after a pause, she strangely shifted to a diamond. With this reprieve, declarer should have made her contract by playing on hearts. However, she erred also, winning this trick in her hand, ruffing a club on the board, and calling for a trump. East quickly took his two winners and played a heart to his partner’s ace. Then West cashed the club queen to give the defense three spades, one heart and two clubs for down one.

Rory McIlroy tees off on the 17th hole during his amazing round at Quail Hollow on Sunday He shot a 62. back in the hunt, then blew everyone away with a round that ranks among the best. The previous course record at Quail Hollow was 64. Padraig Harrington of Ireland closed with a 68 and hung around for two hours to congratulate the kid when he finished. He was growing concerned for McIlroy, under enormous pressure since turning pro when he was 18. He won the Dubai Desert Classic last year at 19 and nearly won the Order of Merit. McIlroy had been struggling this year with lower back problems, alarming for someone so young. He had missed two cuts going into Quail Hollow, and had not had a top 10 since the first week of February. “At home, no matter how

he does, the focus is on him,” Harrington said. “When you’re not winning, not delivering, the focus becomes a burden. If he can get across the line here, he can go from strength to strength. He will be a lot more comfortable with who he is, a lot more patient. The win is significant — very significant — at this time.” He crossed the line at full speed. McIlroy shot a 128 on the weekend at Quail Hollow, considered one of the toughest tracks on the PGA Tour. Everything was going his way. “It’s been a crazy ride until this point,” McIlroy said. “I’m just delighted to get here. To get my first win in the U.S. is special.”

 Mars Hill is ranked seventh in the Southeast Region. Senior Lindsey Barrier (East) is the regular center fielder for the Lions. Track and field N.C. State’s Jason Jones (East) placed third in the shot put at the Jesse Owens Track Classic held at Ohio State on Saturday afternoon. Jones’ effort of 58 JONES feet, 91⁄2 inches was his third-best of the season.  Western Carolina’s Wayne Parker (East) placed seventh in the javelin (162-0) at the Southern Conference

Mickelson was in the hunt until he had to play a righthanded shot from the woods on the 10th hole and made bogey. When he got around to making a charge, McIlroy already was too far ahead. Mickelson closed with a 68, which he figured would be good enough to win. The roars he heard ahead of him told him otherwise. “I’ve got to congratulate Rory,” Mickelson said. “He played some incredible golf. He’s an amazing talent. You knew he was going to come out and win out here. He is some kind of player.” Cabrera was tied for the lead with eight holes to play until his putter failed him. The former Masters and U.S. Open champion missed five putts inside 10 feet on the back nine and shot 68. Billy Mayfair, who had a two-shot lead going into the final round, lost the lead by hitting into the water on the par5 seventh for a double bogey and closed with a 76. McIlroy becomes the first player since Chris Couch at New Orleans in 2006 to make the cut on the number and win the tournament. McIlroy was two over the cut line on Friday with three holes to play until making an eagle on the seventh hole. He followed with a 66 on Saturday to get
