Barber, Sides get top votes in commissioner race BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
Voters favored familiar faces Tuesday in the Republican primary election for the Rowan County Board of Commissioners. Incumbent Commissioner Jon Barber was the top vote-getter, receiving 3,818 votes, or 14.8 percent those cast. Former county commissioner Jim Sides finished second, earning 14.1 percent of the vote with 3,642 votes. Both will appear on the November ballot. In third place was current Commissioner Chad Mitchell, who received 13.2 percent with 3,414 voters
marking his name. Commissioner Tina Hall, another incumbent, came in fourth with 11.5 percent, or 2,973 votes. Hall could call for a runoff election with Mitchell. Barber, 50, a sixth-grade teacher at Southeast Middle School, thanked his supporters for their hard work since his campaign started in September. “We’ve continued to adjust and refine our campaign activities to ensure that my message was being heard, and that is jobs, jobs and more jobs,” Barber said. Sides, 61, owner of Todays Trading Co. Inc., said he didn’t expect to do as well as he did. He figured he
would be in third or fourth place, and he thanked his supporters for the pleasant surprise. “I wouldn’t have made it without the help of a lot of different people,” Sides said. There were some election results he wasn’t happy about, though. “I’m disappointed that Tina didn’t win, and I’m disappointed that Jon Barber didn’t lose,” Sides said. Mitchell, a teacher at East Rowan High School, wasn’t surprised at the possibility of a runoff. He said he hadn’t been sure if anyone would get enough votes to avoid it.

Two friends and former coworkers will face off for Rowan County sheriff on the November ballot. Kevin Auten, a veteran of 23 years with the sheriff’s department, easily won the Republican nomination. And John Noble, who retired from the Sheriff’s Office after 30 years, pulled the shocker of the night. The 62-year-old easily won the Democratic nomination, becoming the first black candidate in county history to win a spot on the November ballot for sheriff. Auten and Noble led when the first votes came in and held their leads at around 9 p.m., when the last four precincts reported. Their contest promises to be an amicable one. “We’re good friends,” Noble said, referring to Auten. “I’ve got 23 years in and this man makes me a rookie,” Auten responded. Auten got almost 54 percent

Other candidates finished as follows: Johnny Love, 487; Tony Stirewalt, 432; and Tony Yon 280. On the Democratic side, Noble polled 1,573 votes, or 43 percent, with Todd Sides, a Salis-

Democratic sheriff candidate Todd Sides, center, talks with Travis Allen, right, after the polls closed.
The former secretary to the county’s highest law enforcement officer has been indicted on charges of stealing more than $50,000 from the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office over five years. A Rowan County grand jury returned eight true bills of indictment on Monday against Kathy K. Hudgins, 48, of Birchwood Drive, Salisbury. For several years, Hudgins was the personal secretary to Sheriff George Wilhelm, who retired in November. She was placed on administrative leave in March 2008 and resigned on June 17, 2008. After more than a year of investigation by the SBI, the case was turned over to the HUDGINS N.C. Attorney General for investigation and prosecution. The indictments were released Tuesday. Court officials said warrants have been issued, but Hudgins had not been arrested Tuesday. SBI Special Agent Rufus B. Williams III presented evidence to the grand jury. He is scheduled to arrest Hudgins later this week. In April 2008, Hudgins’ attorney said she was cooperating with the investigation and expressed confidence that she would be cleared of any wrongdoing. Hudgins was charged last month by the Rockwell Police Department with stealing lottery tickets from her employer, the BP/S.M. Mart in Rockwell, and cashing in the winners at other stores. Much of the money taken from the Sheriff’s Office involved fees for concealed-carry handgun permits and permits to purchase pistols. At the time, all were cash transactions. After the discovery in early 2008 that funds were missing, bookkeeping and other procedures were changed in the Sheriff’s Office,

tion issued earlier and based on early voting numbers. Election officials across the county reported voters arriving at a snail’s pace early Tuesday. The pace quickened at some voting places later in the day with the overall voter turnout hitting 15.37 percent. Nancy Evans, the county’s elections director, predicted turnout would not exceed 15,000 voters.

SHERIFF FROM 1A wore “Auten for Sheriff” T-shirts and others quickly donned shirts tossed to supporters in the crowd. Auten, who was appointed sheriff in March to fill the unexpired term of retired sheriff George Wilhelm, said he was surprised at how well he did. “I’m overwhelmed at the response,” Auten said. After a brief celebration, Auten said, he’d be at work as sheriff at 8 a.m. today. Noble admitted he was surprised at winning outright. “I thought I would be in a run-off with Sides,” he said. He credited the victory to his 30 years with the Sheriff’s Office, his name recognition and hard work by his supporters. Early on, Noble had 48 percent of the votes, but the margin narrowed, offering Sides hope of a run-off. “I need it to get under 40 percent,” Sides said as he watched the returns. The margin shrank, but not enough. Sides thanked his supporters for their efforts. Safrit and other candidates bemoaned the low turnout, saying it

was difficult to get any traction with voters. Jack Eller, the lone Democratic candidate without law enforcement experience, took the loss in stride. Eller joked that next time, he’s going to set his sights higher — maybe governor or president. On the Republican ballot, Allen made a strong showing in his first run for sheriff. “A lot of people helped,” said Allen, expressing his appreciation. “There’s no shame in being No. 2.” Allen took the week off to campaign but said he will be back on the job Monday patrolling Woodleaf for the Sheriff’s Office. Correll, who finished third, said he was disappointed. But, he added, “The best man won,” referring to Auten. Yon, a Davidson County deputy, ended up at the bottom of the GOP totals. Yon had been tapped by the Republican Executive Committee in December to replace Wilhelm, but county commissioners didn’t cooperate. Yon also praised Auten, saying he will lead the department from under the black cloud left by Wilhelm. All vote totals are unofficial and JON C.

most a mathematical certainty.” Hall, 59, said she wasn’t sure if she would call for a runoff and wanted to go over the procedures and election results first. She said fourth place was “respectable” and she is grateful for the chance to serve as commissioner.
“I would like to thank my supporters for helping me get to this position and have this opportunity,” Hall said. “It’s a great opportunity.” Jim Greene, 62, owner of Greene Insurance, was the fifth-highest vote-getter with 2,856 votes, or 11.1 percent. He said he was surprised by the outcome.
“We tried to give the county a different path to go,” he said. “It seems the county has chosen the same old path that they want to go into.” Gene Miller, 63, an assistant superintendent with the Rowan-Salisbury School System, came in sixth with 2,799 votes, or 10.8 percent. “I thought we ran a pretty strong campaign, and I thought it would be recognized a little better than it was,” Miller said. “I’ve been told by a lot of people that for
indictments also deal separately with funds for pistol purchase permits and concealed carry permits. According to the indictments, the majority of the money embezzled came from the concealed-carry permits. The fee for a concealed carry permit is $92.50, which is split between the county and the state. The indictments specify: • From July 1, 2007, to Dec. 31, 2007, Hudgins allegedly took $22,684. • Jan. 1, 2007, through June 30, 2007 — $10,755. • July 1, 2006, through Dec. 31, 2006 — $686. Five indictments deal with money paid to purchase pistols. These indictments specify: • July 1, 2003, through June 30, 2004 — $4,995.
• July 1, 2004, through June 20, 2005 — $4,415. • July 1, 2005-June 30, 2006 — $3,675.
• July 1, 2006-June 30, 2007 — $6,495. • July 1, 2007-March 25, 2008 — $2,300.

I don’t think it’s a representative vote of how people in Rowan County feel.” Carl Dangerfield, 47, a detective with the Rowan County Sheriff's Office, received 1,454 votes, or 5.6 percent. “The initial roar of the people was, ‘Anybody but the incumbents,’ but that obviously was not the case,” Dangerfield said. John Greene, 64, a partner with Evergreen Cremation Services, got 1,264 votes, or 4.9 percent. He said his candidacy also depended on the strength of anti-incumbency. “New ideas were not accepted — the status quo was accepted, and that’s fine,” he said. “That’s what the election is all about.” John Greene said while he enjoyed the “journey,” he would not be running again.

He thanked his supporters and said he plans to run again in the next election. “I think what I set out to accomplish, I probably did, even with a low vote,” Feather said. “That was to get recognition that the towns are part of the county, and to make the county commissioners and the people running aware of it.”

Incumbents advance as state Court of Appeals candidates down to four RALEIGH (AP) — Two incumbents seeking additional terms on the North Carolina Court of Appeals advanced to the November election by finishing in the top two in their respective races Tuesday. Judge Rick Elmore finished second Tuesday night to state Supreme Court law clerk Steven Walker in one race. Judge Ann Marie Calabria finished first in the other race and Wake District Court Judge Jane Gray came in second. With nearly all precincts reporting, Walker had about 38 percent of the vote in his race, followed by Elmore with 29 percent. Leto Copeley was third at 18 percent and Alton Bain had 15 percent. Calabria led her race with 37 percent,
followed by Gray with 36 percent. Superior Judge Mark Klass was in third place at 27 percent. The top two vote-getters in each nonpartisan race advance to face each other in November. Elmore and Calabria each won eightyear terms in 2002 to the court, which is comprised of 15 judges. The court meets in three-judge panels and hears appeals of lower court cases, except for death penalty cases. Their rulings may be appealed to the Supreme Court. Elmore, of Greensboro, was a local lawyer for 20 years before joining the court. Walker is a Campbell University law school graduate who has been the judi-
cial clerk of Supreme Court Justice Ed Brady since 2005. Calabria, of Cary, is a former privatepractice lawyer who was a Wake County District Court judge before joining the appeals court. Gray formerly worked as a state government attorney and counsel to former House Speaker Jim Black before being appointed to a District Court judgeship. She has been re-elected twice. The state Democratic Party has asked voters to support Gray, Klass, Copeley and Bain, while the state GOP put its support behind Elmore, Walker and Calabria. One Supreme Court and two other Court of Appeals races also will be on the ballot in November.
Keadle comes up short in GOP primary for 10th District RALEIGH (AP) — Retired Postmaster Jeff Gregory has defeated his Democratic primary opponent for the right to challenge North Carolina Rep. Patrick McHenry. Gregory narrowly defeated Anne N. Fischer of Morganton, carrying 51 percent of the vote in unofficial results Tuesday night. He moves on to the November general election. McHenry handily defeated his three Republican primary opponents: Vance Patterson of Morganton, Scott Keadle of Mooresville and David Michael Boldon of Maiden. Keadle, a dentist in Salisbury and former Rowan County resident, is an Iredell County commissioner. McHenry is seeking a fourth term representing the state’s 10th District, which covers parts of western North Carolina from the South Carolina to the Tennessee border.

U.S. Rep. Coble nabs 6th District GOP nomination BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com
U.S. Rep. Howard Coble fought off five challengers and convincingly captured the Republican nomination for the 6th District seat Tuesday. The Associated Press declared Coble the GOP winner at 8:59 p.m. With 78 percent of the vote in across his district late Tuesday, Coble was leading with 65 percent of the votes cast.
His challengers were far behind. Greensboro County Commissioner Billy Yow had 17 percent of the early vote; Dr. James Taylor, 13 percent; Cathy Brewer HinCOBLE son, 3 percent; Jeff Phillips, 2 percent; and Jon Mangin, less than 1 percent. “It was a good day,” Coble said
close to 10 p.m. Tuesday. “... It’s very rewarding.” Coble said he worked “diligently” for this election victory and said he put forth a greater effort than in his victories against Robin Britt in 1984 and 1986. The need for a runoff would not have surprised him, but Coble easily received the 40 percent needed to avoid one. Coble praised his opponents and said none of them were “token candidates.” The number of Republican can-
didates in his race and throughout the state signal that North Carolina is truly becoming a two-party state, according to Coble. “I think now the day of no Republican primary is over,” he said. Coble’s traditional Election Day tour through the district hit every county and included morning stops in Faith and Granite Quarry. Coble, seeking a 14th term, found himself in his first primary since winning election to the U.S. House in 1984. He is the longest-
serving GOP House member in N.C. history and entered the primary with $500,000 cash on hand to take on what many thought was his biggest political fight in years. The 79-year-old Coble was highly visible in the district during his congressional breaks. He also employed radio advertising and sent taped telephone messages to likely voters in the 6th District Republi-

Runoff to decide GOP nomination for 12th District
Independent:
BY MARK WINEKA
Some unaffiliated voters were told Tuesday that they could not participate in the Republican or Democratic primaries. When Diane Bouk walked up to vote at the Locke Fire Department, she was surprised when she saw her ballot. “I was given an unaffiliated ballot with three choices for judges,” Bouk said. She said she asked if she could have a partisan ballot but was told by precinct officials that she couldn’t have one because she was unaffiliated. In North Carolina, unaffiliated voters can participate in any party’s primary. After voting, Bouk left the building and encountered Michael Turman, who was working the polls for sheriff’s candidate Randall Correll. When Turman asked if she had voted for Correll, Bouk said she hadn’t been given the chance. Turman and Bouk both went back to protest the decision, and after a precinct official called the county Board of Elections office, the mistake was corrected. “I was able to go in and change it with a provisional ballot,” Bouk said, “but other people who are registered Independent were not able to vote.”

Republicans Scott Cumbie and Greg Dority could be headed for a June 22 runoff in their contest for the 12th U.S. House District GOP nomination. With all 185 precincts reporting, Cumbie tallied 5,488 votes, or 39.5 percent, just shy of the 40 percent threshold he needed to avoid a runoff. He was followed closely by Dority at 4,765 votes, or 34 percent. William ‘Doc” GillenCUMBIE water came in third with 3,640 votes, or 26 percent. “Basically, it was pretty close until Davidson County came in, and I came up short,” Dority said. The Associated Press reported that both men advanced to a runoff. The Republican winner will face incumbent U.S. Rep. Mel Watt, a Democrat, and Libertarian Lon Cecil of High Point in the November election. Extending from Charlotte to Greensboro and reaching into WinstonSalem, the 12th District contains mostly urban areas in portions of Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, DORITY Rowan, Davidson, Forsyth and Guilford counties. In Rowan, the 12th District includes most of Salisbury, Spencer, East Spencer and Cleveland and takes in communities such as Enochville, Franklin, Ellis and Scotch-Irish Township. Watt has been the 12th District’s only representative since it was first established. He was first elected in 1992. Dority won the Rowan County vote in his GOP primary. He captured 1,306 votes here, or 48.4 percent of the vote; Cumbie, 28.5 percent; and Gillenwater, 23 percent. “I’m very appreciative to the Rowan County GOP for helping us share my message that we need jobs,” Dority said. Cumbie could not be reached late Tuesday night. Dority added he “will think about things” for a couple of days and find out about a runoff possibility. In a runoff, he said, he would emphasize his experience in creating jobs as a small businessman, his experience overseas and the time he spent in Washing-

Incumbent District Court Judge Kevin Eddinger finished with 42 percent of the primary vote.
Eddinger, Showfety to face off 2 will vie for district court judge seat in November BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
Incumbent Kevin Eddinger and challenger June Showfety will face off for district court judge in November after taking the top two spots in Tuesday’s EDDINGER primary. In unofficial results, Eddinger garnered 5,307 votes, or 42 percent of the votes cast. Showfety received 23.4 percent, or 2,952 votes. Salisbury Attorney Todd Paris finished third with 2,886 votes, or 22.8 percent, and attorney Rosalee Hart-Morrison received 11.8 percent, SHOWFETY or 1,491 votes. Eddinger waited on final results with his wife, Liana, at the Rowan County administration building. “My wife and I are very pleased and grateful,” Eddinger said. “We hope to do the same this November.” Eddinger, 55, overcame
revelations that he had an affair with an employee of the Rowan Clerk of Courts office. The relationship ended more than a year ago and he reported it to the N.C. Judicial Standards Commission. Before being elected a District Court judge in 2002, Eddinger was in private practice for 22 years. He has a bachelor’s degree from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a law degree from Wake Forest University. Showfety submitted her comments on the results by e-mail. She expressed gratitude to the voters who supported her and pledged she would “not disappoint the people who have placed their confidence in me by casting their votes for me.” “I hear the message from my voters for integrity on the bench, and I am committed to giving Rowan County voters a choice for integrity again in November,” Showfety wrote in her e-mail. She also asked for the support of the other challengers in the race. A Rowan native and Salisbury High School graduate, the 51-year-old Showfety has been an attorney for 26 years. Her current areas of practice include estate planning, business law, real property and creditor/consumer rights. She has a bachelor’s de-
gree from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and a law degree from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. Paris, 47, awaited results with members of his family. He expressed gratitude for their support. “I had the best help in the world. My family was wonderful,” he said. Paris said he did the best he could and ran a clean race. This loss may be God’s way of telling him to continue to serve people in the way he’s done for more than 20 years, he said. “I love what I do,” Paris said. Many people he encountered while campaigning asked him continuing fighting for them as a lawyer, he said. Rosalee Hart-Morrison, 41, has been an attorney in the Salisbury area since 2002. She has been an attorney since 1993 and has a practice, Hart-Morrison Law Office, in Spencer. Attempts to reach HartMorrison were unsuccessful.

Cunningham, Marshall move to U.S. Senate runoff BY MIKE BAKER Associated Press
RALEIGH — Democratic U.S. Senate candidates Elaine Marshall and Cal Cunningham will settle their campaign rivalry in a head-tohead runoff, with neither able to dominate the vote in a crowded North Carolina primary election that drew lackluster turnout Tuesday. Marshall, North Carolina’s secretary of state for more than a decade, led with 36 percent of the vote in unofficial returns Tuesday night. Cunningham, an Army veteran and former state senator who drew the support of the party’s Washington establishment, trailed by 9 percentage points. Chapel Hill attorney Ken Lewis was in third with 17 percent. A candidate needed 40 percent of the vote to win the nomination outright. The winner of the June 22
runoff will move on to face Republican Sen. Richard Burr, who easily defeated his three challengers. “I am honored to have received my party’s nomination,” Burr said in a statement. “However, this is just the beginning and it will be a long road to November.” Marshall began that process by taking aim at Burr on Tuesday night, saying the incumbent sided with insurance companies and Wall Street firms in voting against a health care overhaul and new regulations for the financial industry. “We can solve this problem. We can send Richard Burr home,” Marshall told dozens of supporters in a Raleigh ballroom. “We can solve this problem, but we’ve got a little further to go.” Cunningham, addressing supporters in his hometown of Lexington, predicted he would go on to

2 newcomers, incumbent claim GOP slots for Cabarrus Board self. “I’ve worked hard to cut the budget and hold the tax rate steady,” he said. “I think we will work hard and get three Republicans elected in NovemWHITE ber.” All three seats in contention this November are currently held by Republicans. Commissioners Grace Mynatt and Coy Privette are leaving the board. The third Republican winner, Burrage, is a Concord electrical contractor who thanked conservative action group We The People for supporting him. “We’re going to continue running for the people,” Burrage said. He said concerned Cabarrus residents had responded well to his

phone calls seeking comment. Campbell, however, had a positive outlook despite the outcome. “I did my job in getting the incumbent out,” she said. She wished Baggs luck in his new post. Baggs campaigned on more than 35 years experience as a magistrate and extensive contacts in law enforcement and law. Biggers’ platform was the efficiency he brought to the office. Campbell, who has worked as a deputy clerk of court, said during the campaign she would use her experience to further streamline the office.
CONCORD — Bill Baggs defeated incumbent Cabarrus Clerk of Court Fred Biggers in Tuesday’s Republican primary election. Unofficial results show Baggs with 4,666 votes, or 49 percent. Biggers, elected to the post in 2006, reBAGGS ceived 3,638 votes, 38 percent. Challenger Jen Campbell placed third with 1,213 votes, Rickard, Hall re-elected 13 percent. Danita Rickard and Millie Neither Biggers nor Baggs immediately returned Hall ran unopposed to keep
U.S. SENATE FROM 3A beat both Marshall and Burr. “I am confident that we are going to win,” he said. Marshall, Cunningham and Lewis each spent more than $300,000 trying to woo voters and distinguish themselves in a crowd of a half-dozen candidates. The North Carolina race for U.S. Senate has CUNNINGHAM been closely watched since the Democrats ousted Republican Sen. Elizabeth Dole two years ago. Though the GOP has been gaining momentum nationwide and expanded the map to target Democratic seats, the Democrats still believe Burr is vulnerable. Burr, who spent the night at a fundraiser in Washington, has seen weaker approval numbers than Dole did at this stage in 2008. An Elon University survey released in April showed that 37 percent of those interviewed approved of how Burr is handling his job. About 28 percent disapproved, while 35 percent didn’t know. The same poll showed that 69 percent of state adults said they disapproved of the way Congress was doing its job. Voters on Tuesday echoed some of those sentiments but many Republicans said they
still voted for Burr. Rey Arias, 56, a Republican restaurant owner in Cary, said he voted for the incumbent because he likes what Burr is doing in Washington and is worried about the direction of the country. “I’m not really fond of the way our country is going with all the taxes,” said Arias, who grew up in Cuba. Despite polls indicating voter discontent with Congress, there was scant mobilization at the polls. Unofficial results showed a turnout of just 14 percent, among the lowest participation rates in recent history. Democrats were divided about their choices. Jeanne Sumpter, a 66year-old retired nurse from Raleigh, praised Marshall’s work but said she believes Cunningham has the best chance to beat Burr because of his background in the Army and as a lawmaker. Kim Truitt walked into the same precinct just a few minutes later with a different outlook: She wanted to see more cooperation in the Senate and thought Marshall could foster that on the job. “Women seem to be more conciliatory and interested in working on a team,” said Truitt, 55, who was laid off as a technical writer for IBM last year. She also cited Marshall’s track record and said Cunningham is “kind of an unknown quantity at this point.” Besides the Senate primaries, North Carolina was holding several U.S. House
their seats on the Kannapolis Board of Education. Unofficial results showed Hall with 1,164 votes, 51 percent. Rickard received 1,084, 48 percent. Voters cast 31 write-in votes.
Cabarrus turnout low Cabarrus County’s estimated voter turnout was just shy of 13 percent, with a preliminary figure of 14,048 ballots cast. There are 108,492 registered voters in the county, according to the Cabarrus Board of Elections Web site. Chairperson Linda Grist said the day’s voting “seemed to be slow.” Across the county, 2,017 participated in one-stop voting, and 130 absentee ballots were cast.
primaries and contests for legislative and judicial seats on Tuesday. Marshall has been secretary of state since 1997 and unsuccessfully ran for U.S. Senate in 2002. She’s been critical of Obama’s plan to add troops in Afghanistan and aired ads highlighting her experience in government. C u n ningham, who served in Iraq as an Army prosecutor, MARSHALL has already been airing ads targeting Burr. He’s staked out a moderate position, criticizing President Barack Obama’s handling of the national debt while encouraging a new offensive to target the Taliban in Afghanistan. Lewis, a political rookie who has cast himself as the best agent for change, is an attorney who has worked with community development groups. He declined to say whether he would endorse a candidate in the runoff but said he would continue to mobilize his coalition of supporters to back a progressive agenda. “I’m very optimistic about the future of what we’re trying to accomplish,” he said. Three other candidates were also on the ballot: attorney Marcus Williams, teacher Ann Worthy and Susan Harris.
McNamara, adding that it was “OK” combined with March. Because an early Easter — like this year’s on April 4 — can boost March’s results and depress April’s, analysts combine the two months when trying to gauge consumer behavior. April figures benefited from relatively easy comparisons to April 2009, when consumers also cut their spending. Consumers’ confidence in the economy rose in April 2010, but the Conference Board business group’s index remains below the level that’s considered healthy. And unemployment remained high. Here are SpendingPulse’s figures comparing sales April 4 through May 1 with a year earlier, by product category. • Clothing: Sales fell 3.9 percent from April 2009, and sales that month were 8.2 percent below April 2008. The dip includes a 4.1 percent drop in women’s fashions and a 0.5 percent decline in men’s. • Footwear: Sales in this more resilient category fell 1.7 percent. • Luxury: Excluding jew-

FROM 3A Turman said he had talked with another unaffiliated voter at the Locke precinct who hadn’t been allowed to vote in a partisan primary and heard a few unconfirmed reports from other precincts that the problem may have existed there as well. County Elections Director Nancy Evans said training materials for precinct workers specified that unaffiliated voters could participate in either party’s primary. One other precinct, Landis, questioned the rule Tuesday morning and was given the correct information. Those poll workers may have been confused by information stating that Libertarians could not vote in Republican or Democratic primaries, Evans said. She said the Board of Elections received some concerned calls, but many of them were from people registered with one party trying to vote in the other’s primary. Evans said she made sure to tell workers at those precincts about the correct procedures and didn’t think the problem was widespread or affected many voters.
elry, sales rose 15.5 percent from April 2009, when they dropped 18.1 percent from the year before. • Appliances: Enjoying increases since September 2009, this category rose 3 percent for April, possibly reflecting the benefit of the housing tax credit and the federal appliance rebate program. • Electronics: Sales rose 9.7 percent from a year earlier, helped in part by product launches, including Apple Inc.’s iPad tablet computer on April 3. • Online sales soared 15.6 percent. The data comes a day before selected major retailers report on sales at their stores that have been open at least a year, considered a key indicator because it excludes results from stores that open or close during the year. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters predict a 1.6 percent increase for April, following a 9.1 percent gain in March. The estimate for March and April combined is 5.4 percent. That would be the eighth straight increase.

Baggs ousts Biggers in Cabbarus Clerk of Court primary race
NEW YORK (AP) — Consumers bought less clothing and footwear in April than they did in the same month last year but opened their wallets for electronics, major appliances and status goods, purchase data released Wednesday show. The month’s rainy weather contributed to mixed results, including a sharp increase in online sales, according to the latest numbers from MasterCard Advisors’ SpendingPulse. It was the ninth-straight month that online sales rose compared with a year earlier. The figures, which include transactions in all forms including cash, signal that spending is recovering but remained sensitive in April to one-time factors. Another factor dampening April’s sales was a drop in tourism resulting from travel restrictions after Iceland’s volcanic eruption, said Michael McNamara, vice president of research and analysis for SpendingPulse. He said spending is stabilizing and there wasn’t any broad-based heavy discounting. “(April) was lumpy,” said

Republican Harry Warren will challenge Democrat Lorene Coates for her N.C. House seat in November. Warren defeated Lauren Raper on Tuesday in the GOP primary for the 77th N.C. House District. The 59-year-old Warren took 2,292 votes, or 65.8 percent of the votes cast. “I’m delighted,” he said Tuesday night. “I’ve got a great team of people. I’d like to thank all the people who voted for me and encourage everybody to get revved up and excited for a fall campaign.”
Rowan High School. She said she was “ecstatic” to get that much support in her first campaign and would likely run again. “Thank you,” Raper said. “I appreciate (supporters) going out on a limb. I know I’m young, and I know a lot of people might not have known a lot about me. I just hope that they not only heard passion, but also common sense solutions, which is what we need.” In contrast to Warren’s comments, Raper said she thought he would stay close to the party line. “I think the Republicans have a really good candidate who will push the Republican ideology,” she said.

A human resource specialist for Tar Heel Capital Corp., Warren said his message in the campaign against Coates will be the same as it was in the primary. “I think we were able to get our message out to people that my campaign is not really about political ideology — it’s about promoting conservative values and answers to the issues that are before North Carolina now,” Warren said. “It seems like for the past eight years, our representation has been toeing the party line. I think people have had enough.” Raper received 34.2 percent with 1,192 votes. Raper, 27, is a history teacher at East

The Concord heating and air conditioning contractor said he wasn’t able to participate as much in the campaign as he would have liked due to personal obligations. He also praised Measmer and Burrage for their hard work. Lloyd Morris, who garnered 606 votes, 2.4 percent, said he had no comment on the results.

He spoke highly of White and Burrage as well. “Having gotten to know these folks during the campaign, I thought all were good people,”

CONCORD — Two political newcomers and the current chairman won slots on the Republican ticket for the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners race. In unofficial results, Chris Measmer led all candidates with 5,816 votes, or 23 percent; current commissioners Chairman Jay White placed second with 4,981 votes, 20 percent; and Larry Burrage took the third spot with 3,994 votes, 16 percent.

overall with 1,601 votes, 6 percent. McCartan and Cowherd did not immediately return messages Tuesday night. Measmer, 24, said he was pleased MEASMER with the results of the election. “I think my hard work and dedication have really paid off,” he said. “Although I’m young, they’ve judged my experience, qualifications and character. I’m looking forward to November.” White, who is seeking his second term on the board, praised Measmer’s efforts. “I think he ran a good, positive campaign,” White said.

Concerns about 75-year-old woman scammed out of $4,500 Shober Bridge closure addressed CRIME ROUNDUP
BY SHELLEY SMITH
ssmith@salisburypost.com
A 75-year-old Salisbury woman was the victim of a scam in February. She reported the incident to the Salisbury Police Department on Monday. According to Salisbury Police Deputy Chief Steve Whitley, the woman was approached by two women in the Salisbury Mall parking lot who asked her if she dropped a large roll of cash. Whitley said the women convinced the victim she would receive $1,000 in return if she took money out of the bank and had the women take the money and exchange it for “untraceable” bills. “They were very friendly, cordial and charming women,” Whitley said. “But they really just charmed her out of $4,500.” One of the women traveled with the victim to the bank, but waited in the vehicle while the victim withdrew the cash. “Allowing the woman into the car is in itself inherently dangerous,” Whitley said. “The greatest concern is that they could harm or rob you.” The victim said the women promised to meet in the mall parking lot later that day with the money, but they never showed up. “With these scams, it becomes an issue of embarrassment,” Whitley said. “They don’t want their kids to find out. It tends to undermine their ability to live alone. “This concerns us because those are our senior citizens, and they seem to be a prime target to these hoodlums.” Whitley said if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. “Bottom line, nothing is free,” he said. “These scams are designed to get your money. This particular lady unfortunately was tricked out of $4,500.”
Bystander tackles robbery suspect before police catch up
A man police say robbed a woman at a Food Lion fought off a bystander who tried to stop him, but he was nabbed a short time later in the woods. Salisbury Police charged Jerome Christopher Miller, 18, of 108 John Drake Drive, with robbery with a firearm. C h i e f Rory Collins said the incident occ u r r e d around 6:30 p.m. Sunday. A 35year-old woman was MILLER shopping at Food Lion near the intersection of Jake Alexander Boulevard and Mooresville Highway. Police said when she paid with cash, the suspect saw she had additional cash in her wallet and went into the parking lot to wait for her. As she was approaching her vehicle, she told officers the man approached her and held up his shirt to show a gun in his pants. He demanded her wallet. When she resisted, he shoved her to the pavement, and took her wallet. A man in the parking lot saw what was happening and tried to stop the fleeing robber by tackling him. At some point, the suspect pulled out his gun and pointed it at the man and then shoved him to the pavement. People in the parking lot flagged down Officer R.S. Ruble, who was responding to a call on Candlewick Road. Collins said officers quickly responded and began searching in the area near KFC and the State Employees Credit Union, bringing in a
tracking dog. Miller was found hiding behind a building at 1010 Mooresville Road. The gun turned out to be a BB gun. The victim identified Miller as the person who robbed her. Her wallet was MECHELLE, MICHAEL BURTON recovered.
Firefighting equipment stolen The South Salisbury Fire Department was the victim of larceny Sunday, having $5,730 worth of turnout gear stolen from one of its trucks. According to Capt. John Sifford of the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, the fire department was attending Bostian Heights Fire Department’s 50th anniversary celebration Sunday. The truck was parked across the street from the department. The theft occurred sometime Sunday afternoon, and an investigation is ongoing. According to Sifford, the serial numbers belonging to the stolen equipment have been entered into the National Crime Information Center system. Equipment stolen includes two sets of turnout gear, a helmet, an SCBA face mask and an air regulator.
Brother and sister face drug charges KANNAPOLIS — A twin brother and sister face multiple drug charges after an investigation led to a search of their home, police say. Mechelle Lucille Burton, 25, was charged with trafficking in cocaine, maintaining a dwelling for controlled substances and possession of drug paraphernalia. Her brother, Michael Lee Burton, 25, was charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver cocaine, posses-
sion with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, maintaining a dwelling for controlled substances and possession of drug paraphernalia. Both are being held in the Cabarrus County Detention Center under $100,000 bond apiece. Members of the Kannapolis Police Department and Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office narcotics units served a search warrant April 29 at 1003 Rainbow Drive, a Kannapolis police report said. The search followed “an extended investigation of alleged drug trafficking at the home,” the report said. During the search, police said, officers discovered: 45.9 grams of crack cocaine; 17.9 grams of powder cocaine; 4.7 grams of marijuana; approximately $500 cash; and various drug paraphernalia items including digital scales, razor blades and plastic bags.
Teen brings BB gun to school A juvenile at West Rowan Middle School brought a BB gun to school Friday, and is now in the hands of juvenile services. According to Capt. John Sifford of the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, the boy, under the age of 16, showed the gun to several students, and was turned into the principal. Criminal charges and suspension from school are unknown.
Southern Piedmont Community Care Plan selected for information technology pilot CONCORD — Rowan County residents will have access to a new program that will use information technology to expand and improve care for patients with certain diseases and conditions. The Southern Piedmont Community Care Plan in Concord has been selected one of 15 pilot sites nationwide for the Beacon Communities program, Vice President Joe Biden and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced Tuesday. The government awarded a total of $220 million from federal stimulus funding. The Community Care Plan will receive $15.9 million for its planned work with Medicaid recipients in Cabarrus, Rowan and Stanly counties. With that funding, the program will improve care coordination for patients with diabetes, heart disease, hypertension and asthma by linking patients and providers in a datasharing health record bank; allow patients and family members to self-manage through patient portals; and expand access to care managers for post-discharge planning.

At the conclusion of the Salisbury City Council meeting Tuesday, Councilman Paul Woodson asked City Engineer Dan Mikkelson when the Shober Bridge on Ellis Street would reopen after repairs, stating he was concerned about the safety of Salisbury residents. “We are waiting on the railroad to schedule a pre-construction meeting,” Mikkelson said. “We simply cannot get them to schedule. We’re contacting them almost every day.” Salisbury Mayor Susan Kluttz said she was also concerned with the progress of repairs to the bridge. “This is a public safety issue,” Kluttz said. “I just think it’s urgent.” Mikkelson said that he was afraid to push Norfolk Southern too much on the repairs, knowing they had final say on what they wanted as the replacement of the bridge. City Manager David Treme said he knew the railroad would make a decision on the repairs far before a decision on bridge replacement was made. “The big concern is, if we have a fire call on the other side of that bridge, we have to go all the way around,” Treme said. “I’m disappointed that we have not been able to move any faster on this very important issue.” Kluttz suggested the city send the railroad a letter in the next two weeks stating the urgent need to reopen the bridge. The council also adopted Downtown Salisbury Inc.’s Downtown Master Plan. “There’s no question that a strong downtown is vital to a successful city,” Kluttz said. Councilman Brian Miller called DSI “the most effective organization I’ve ever been a part of.” Woodson thanked organization members for their
9 counties to receive historic preservation grant funding BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com
The North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources will hold a statewide press conference at 2 p.m. Thursday at the Salisbury Depot, 215 Depot St. As part of National Preservation Month, the press conference will reveal the nine counties in North Carolina that will receive Historic Preservation Grants, including Rowan. “Salisbury is one of several recipients of the grants,” Salisbury senior planner Janet Gapen said Tuesday. The N.C. Department of Cultural Resources chose to hold the press conference at Salisbury’s depot because of its outstanding historic preservation efforts. “In 1976 it (Salisbury De-

Voters here had that option but chose to stay home, he said. Ferguson, 72, a retired banker, said the results did not surprise him. “I knew I was running against a really strong name,” he said. Brock’s grandfather, the late Sen. Burr C. Brock, served 11 terms in the General Assembly. And the Stirewalt name is big in Rowan, Ferguson said.
Coble also carried the day in Rowan. With all precincts reporting, Coble garnered 58 percent of the vote in Rowan; Taylor, 22 percent; Yow, 7.7 percent; Hinson, 7 percent; Phillips, 4 percent; and Mangin, who had withdrawn from the race, less than 1 percent. Coble said he thought voters thought of a couple things when resisting the urge to throw the incumbent out in his race.
“I knew this was a long shot,” he said. “I was just trying to do what I could. I met a lot of people and had a good time.” Brock returns to Raleigh with his biggest mandate yet.

SOME PRIMARY OBSERVATIONS
Time to pull up stakes few observations as we digest the primary election results and take a few deep breaths before the politicking begins again: • If people were to heed the adage that “those who don’t vote shouldn’t complain about the results,” we should see a precipitous dropoff in gripes about government leaders in the months between now and November. In fact, considering the turnout numbers for the primary, you might wonder how talk radio has an audience at all. Maybe that’s another reason they’re called “off year” elections; many voters take the year off, especially for the primary. If voters really like having choices — and they say they do — you’d think primaries would be a bigger draw. The big bash may be in November, but May is when the guest list gets whittled down. • The primary has concluded, but candidates can still make a statement against roadside clutter by promptly removing their campaign signs. Freedom of speech not withstanding, campaign signs are the electoral equivalent of ragweed, and this year’s crowded ballots for county commission and sheriff’s races produced a bumper crop. The roadside exhortations also seemed to sprout earlier than usual (perhaps in violation of some municipal codes). Salisbury’s city code gives candidates 10 days to remove signs following an election — the window can vary in other jurisdictions — but now that the voters have spoken, campaigns shouldn’t drag their feet on pulling up stakes. • Local races weren’t the only contests that featured a healthy increase in the number of candidates. Although two local state representatives, Republican Fred Steen and Democrat Lorene Coates, didn’t draw opposition from within their own parties, that ran counter to the statewide trend toward fewer uncontested legislative seats. Across the state, there were 81 contested House and Senate primaries on the ballot Tuesday, a nearly 60 percent jump compared to the 51 contested seats in both 2006 and 2008. While we’d like to believe these new candidates were motivated purely by altruism and a sense of civic duty, the experts say it’s another sign of our Tea Party times. As voters’ disgruntlement increases, so apparently does the belief they could do the job better — or at least be no worse. There’s also the Massachusetts factor: Republican Scott Brown’s upset victory in the Senate election there increased the sense that supposedly “safe” seats would be in play elsewhere.

SALISBURY POST
e know one thing for sure about the fight over Arizona’s new immigration law. There will be a torrent of lawsuits as civil-rights groups try to stop the law from taking effect as scheduled this summer. What we don’t know is how those proceedings will be affected by the Obama Justice Department, which is contemplating BYRON the highly unusual step of YORK filing its own suit against the state of Arizona. Also unknown is the influence of President Obama himself, who has gone out of his way to raise questions about the law. The drafters of the law knew the lawsuit was coming; a lawsuit is always coming when a state tries to enforce the nation’s immigration laws. What the drafters didn’t expect was Obama’s aggressive and personal role in trying to undermine the new measure. “You can imagine, if you are a Hispanic American in Arizona ...,” the president said in late April at a campaignstyle appearance in Iowa, “suddenly, if you don’t have your papers and you took your kid out to get ice cream, you’re going to be harassed.”
At about the same time, Attorney General Eric Holder said he was considering a court challenge. “The practice of the Justice Department in the past with states involving immigration has been to let the courts settle it and not weigh in as a party,” says Kris Kobach, the law professor and former Bush Justice Department official who helped draft the Arizona law. Having Justice intervene, Kobach and other experts say, would be extraordinary. The problem for Obama and Holder is that the people behind the new law have been through this before — and won. Arizona is three-forthree in defending its immigration measures. In 2008, the state successfully defended its employer-sanctions law, which made it a state crime to knowingly employ an illegal immigrant. Facing some of the same groups that are now planning to challenge the new law, Arizona prevailed both in federal district court and at the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, the nation’s most liberal federal-appeals court. In federal court in 2005, Arizona successfully defended Proposition 200, which required proof of citizenship for
voting and also restricted benefits to illegals. And in 2006, officials won a state court challenge to Arizona’s humansmuggling law. The arguments that liberal groups make against the new law are similar to those made in the past. Foremost among them is the claim that only the federal government can handle immigration matters, and thus the Arizona measure preempts federal law. Lawmakers thought of that ahead of time. “This law was carefully drafted to avoid any legal challenge on pre-emption in two ways,” Kobach explains. “One, it perfectly mirrors federal law. Courts usually ask whether a state law is in conflict with federal law, and this law is in perfect harmony with federal law. “Two, the new law requires local law-enforcement officers not to make their own judgment about a person’s immigration status but to rely on the federal government,” Kobach continues. Any officer who reasonably suspects a person is illegal is required to check with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “As long as the state or city is relying on the federal government to determine im-
The people behind the new law have been through this before — and won
migration status, that will protect against a pre-emption challenge,” Kobach says. But what if the Obama administration argues that the law is a burden on the federal government? Or refuses to assist Arizona in determining a person’s legality? The drafters thought of that, too. There’s a federal statute — 8 USC 1373, passed during the Clinton years — requiring the feds to verify a person’s immigration status any time a state or local official asks for it. The federal government cannot deny assistance to Arizona without breaking the law itself. Given all that, Obama and Holder will have a hard time stopping this law. Their best hope is that a judge might be swayed by the political storm that has erupted, mostly on the left, by opponents raising the specter of fascism, Nazism and a police state in Arizona. That was one thing the drafters didn’t expect. As they see it, the old employer-verification law was broader in scope and more serious in effect than the new law, and it didn’t set off this kind of national controversy. That tells Kris Kobach one thing about the current battle: “It’s more about the politics of 2010 than it is about this particular law.” • • • Byron York is chief political correspondent for The Washington Examiner.
Jobless are still waiting for recovery Scripps Howard News Service
ew economic reports carry largely positive news, but there are still trouble spots in the economy, and, sadly, one of them is employment. The economy grew 3.2 percent in the first quarter. It was the third quarterly increase, further evidence that the recession, which began in December 2007, really did end last summer. While in normal times that’s a healthy-enough growth rate, as the Associated Press points out, to create enough jobs to keep up with population growth, it’s not robust enough to begin making up for the jobs lost during the recession. Again, as AP notes, it would take a full year of 5 percent growth to lower the unemployment rate by 1 percentage point. Thus, economists expect the national unemployment rate to remain at 9.7 percent when the new figures come out Friday.

LETTERS Preserving woods a wise decision The citizens of Spencer and Rowan County owe a vote of thanks to the Spencer councilwomen and men and to the LandTrust for Central North Carolina for their foresight in working to preserve 40 acres of beautiful woodland for a park. The park will be available for all to enjoy without the erosion and the loss of wildlife habitat that the fiasco of the North Carolina Finishing plant area “development” has presented the town of Spencer and Rowan County. A special thank you should go to Jason Walser of the LandTrust, and to Councilwomen Tracy Aitkin and Delaine Fowler, Councilman Reid Walters and Mayor Jody Everhart. — Earl Scott Spencer
Good and bad laws The federal government has failed to secure our borders between the United States and Mexico. Illegal immigrants are breaking the law by crossing the border. (Mexico should also have strict laws that would prevent their citizens from breaking the law.) The Arizona law should be accepted and respected, not only by U.S. citizens but by all immigrants if they are here for a better life and a better America. Would we want all penitentiary inmates released into society after having been convicted of crimes? No.

The INN crowd Were you one of the hundreds who were there? Or did you miss it? One of the best kept secrets in Salisbury — the INN — celebrated its fourth anniversary April 10! The event — held at the INN, 1012 Mooresville Road — began at noon and ended with the last band going onstage at midnight. Activities included live music performed by local artists: the Micole Wallace Band, Jeremy Hopkins Band, Jeremy Vess, 4 Given Souls, Conviction Notice, Good Courage, Innfinity, Jordan Connell Band, Offered Soul, Sound of Faith and solo artists Bob Wingate, Matt Burt, John Hardison. This was possibly the largest Christian concert ever to come to Salisbury! Although there was no charge for admission, donations to the INN were accepted, and participants were encouraged to bring canned foods for Rowan Helping Ministries or
baby supplies for the Pregnancy Support Center. The INN held its grand opening as a new Christian Community Outreach Ministry and coffee house in March 2006. The community is served through outreach projects, music and a safe place for the public to come as they are. The INN is not affiliated denominationally, and the families who opened and operate the INN do so with Luke 2, Luke 19:10 and Luke 10:25-37 at their core. Open Saturday evenings from 7-midnight, it features local Christian artists performing a variety of music types. The public is invited to jam or schedule their group to perform. Wireless Internet, air hockey, foosball and pool are available. Youth groups are welcome. A cup of coffee awaits you. Although a relatively newer addition to Salisbury, the INN has hosted numerous entertainers, including wellknown Salisbury-reared brothers Marc and Sandy Hoffman, and provided a location for baby showers, band practices, Bible studies, birthday parties, memorial services and other gatherings … creating heartwarming memories.

Economists expect the unemployment rate to remain at 9.7 percent when the new figures come out Friday. Meanwhile, consumer spending, which drives 70 percent of the economy, rose at an annual rate of 3.6 percent, the fastest in the last three years. Normally, this would be a good thing, but the question arises: Where are the consumers getting the money? It’s not from their jobs. Wages and salaries increased only 0.4 percent for the quarter. And personal income growth in March was only 0.3 percent. The answer seems to be that they are getting the money from their savings or, more accurately, from money they probably should be saving. The U.S. Department of Commerce said the savings rate for March was 2.7 percent of aftertax income, the lowest rate since September 2008. In 2007, in the heady days of the housing boom, the rate fell as low as 1.7 percent. Once the recession had thrown a good scare into the country, the savings rate rose to a decade’s high of 4.3 percent in 2009. So there you have it. Economic recovery demands that you spend your money. Economic prudence demands that you save it. Surely there’s a middle ground somewhere.

across the country over economic woes, persistently high unemployment and Congress itself wasn’t translating into votes — and, perhaps, the limited influence of the conservatives and libertarians who make up the fledgling tea party coalition. “We rebuilt the pyramids and recarved the Grand Canyon in our spare time,” joked poll worker Dina Roberts, who saw only 147 voters in nearly 12 hours at her downtown Indianapolis polling site. By the end of the day, however, the Republican turnout in the Senate primary was the highest this decade, including presidential election years. In all three states, candidates backed by Democratic and Republican leaders in Washington squared off against challengers drawing their support from elsewhere. While it’s difficult to draw concrete conclusions about the state of the country from just a few races, the results gave some idea of whether the national parties still can influence rank-andfile supporters.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Voters in North Carolina and Ohio kept their incumbents and those in Indiana turned to an old Capitol Hill hand — Republican Dan Coats — in Tuesday’s primaries despite the nation’s bottom-barrel support for Congress and frustration with the Washington establishment. This fall, Coats — who was recruited by the National Republican Senatorial Committee — will face Democrat Brad Ellsworth, whose nomination is assured. The candidates are seeking the seat held by retiring Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh. Coats, 66, retired from the Senate in 1998, has worked as a lobbyist and was U.S. ambassador to Germany under President George W. Bush. He overcame spirited challenges from four, including state Sen. Marlin Stutzman, a tea party favorite who was endorsed by South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, and former Rep. John Hostettler, who had the support of one-time presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas. Democrats quickly piled on, calling Coats a “deeply flawed candidate” and casting him as a Washington insider beholden to special interests. Turnout was exceptionally light in Ohio and North Carolina, a possible indication that the anger fueling voters

Lessons learned: Recommendations follow Sully’s landing in river WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal safety panel on Tuesday issued more than two dozen safety recommendations related to the airliner that ditched into the Hudson River after colliding with geese last year. Those include making aircraft engines more bird-resistant, equipping every passenger-carrying plane with life vests and requiring enough life rafts for all passengers and that they be accessible The National Transportation Safety Board said it was just due to chance that US Airways Flight 1549 had such equipment on board on Jan. 15, 2009, when the Airbus A320 collided with a flock of Canada geese. Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger made a split-second decision to glide the airliner with 155
people aboard into the river rather than risk crashing in a densely populated area by trying to reach an airport. The plane had just taken off from New York’s LaGuardia Airport and was bound for Charlotte, N.C. It was not required under Federal Aviation Administration regulations to have equipment for water landings on board. Only planes flying more than 50 miles from shore must have such equipment, the board said. When the plane hit the water, there was a rupture in the fuselage near the tail and water gushed in. Everyone on board survived, but it was a close call. Most passengers and crew wound up standing on the plane’s wings as it drifted downriver, gradually sinking along the way.
Sixty-four passengers were able to wait for rescue on slides that double as life rafts. Two other slides weren’t able to be deployed because they were in the rear of the plane, which was underwater. Ferries and rescue craft nearby were able to remove survivors quickly, but if the passengers on the rafts had been forced into the 41-degree water it’s possible many of them would have suffered “cold shock” — a phenomenon that can lead to drowning within as few as five minutes, the board said. The board also recommended making life vests easier for passengers to retrieve and put on correctly. Only 33 passengers reported having put on a life vest and only four completed fastening their vest; most
struggled with the waist strap or chose not to secure it. The recommendations revive a long dormant safety debate. The Federal Aviation Administration proposed in 1988 that all planes have life vests and flotation seat cushions regardless of route. However, the proposal was never finalized. It was withdrawn in 2003 because of costs. Another key recommendation was that FAA examine whether population increases in recent decades of large bird species like the Canada goose have increased the likelihood of more collisions like the one that disabled Flight 1549. In November, a Frontier Airlines Airbus A319 en route to Denver collided with a flock of snow geese, forcing the shutdown of one engine and signif-
icantly damaging the other. The plane returned to Kansas City for an emergency landing. If there are more collisions with large birds, the board wants the FAA to revise its certification standards for aircraft engines to require they be able to withstand larger birds. The geese struck by Flight 1549 were estimated to weigh about 8 pounds; the engines on the plane were designed to withstand a single bird weighing up to 4 pounds. Newer engines are supposed to withstand birds weighing up to 8 pounds, but some geese and other species of concern like white pelicans can weigh over 12 pounds. The board also wants the FAA to examine the way it tests small- and medium-sized aircraft engines.
40 years after Kent State, killings remain shrouded in controversy Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Girls lacrosse players from Notre Dame Preparatory School in Baltimore wear orange ribbons and the No. 1 on their legs during a game in Alexandria, Va., on Tuesday. Ribbons and numbers were in honor of slain student Yeardley Love.
Accused lacrosse player describes being ‘involved in an altercation’ CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Describing a scene of violent rage, the Virginia lacrosse player accused of killing a member of the women’s team told police he kicked in her bedroom door, shook her, and her head repeatedly hit the wall, according to a court document. The suspect, 22-year-old George Huguely, of Chevy Chase, Md., has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder in the death of Yeardley Love, also 22. Huguely was not present at a court hearing Tuesday, but he appeared via videoconferHUGUELY ence from AlbemarleCharlottesville Regional Jail, wearing a gray-striped uniform. Afterward, his lawyer, Francis Lawrence, told reporters that Love’s “death was not intended, but an accident with a tragic outcome.” Lawrence said Huguely withdrew from the university. Huguely and Love were both seniors. Late Tuesday night, Virginia athletic director Craig Littlepage announced that both lacrosse teams will participate in the NCAA tournament. “A part of their healing will be getting our students back into some of their routines. In the case of the women’s and men’s programs, our lacrosse teams will honor Yeardley by continuing their seasons,” Littlepage said in a statement. “We anticipate both teams will be selected for the NCAA Tournaments and they will represent the University of Virginia as they always have.” An affidavit for a search warrant said two people found Love, of Cockeysville, Md., face down in her bedroom early Monday morning, with a pool of blood on her pillow. There was a large bruise
“No matter what kind of relationship they had, there were no indications that it could have gotten this bad.” CLIFF CUTCHINS UVa. medical student
on her face and one eye was swollen shut, police said, and she was pronounced dead at the scene after attempts to revive her. According to the document, Huguely — listed in the Virginia men’s lacrosse media guide as 6-foot-2 and 209 pounds — told police “he was involved in an altercation with Yeardley Love and that during the course of the altercation he shook Love and her head repeatedly hit the wall.” Huguely told police the two had been in a relationship “and that the relationship had ended,” according to the affidavit. Charlottesville Police Chief Tim Longo said investigators are looking into whether Huguely had threatened Love in the past. “That’s what we’re trying to get to precisely, through our interviews with friends, family and teammates — to see to what extent there’s truth to that,” Longo said. Longo said there were no past police reports “of prior incidents; there’s no protective orders or restraining orders.” Police in Lexington, Va. — about 70 miles from Charlottesville — said that in November 2008, Huguely was shocked with a stun gun by an officer there after resisting arrest for public intoxication. He pleaded guilty to two charges last year, was placed on six months’ probation and was given a 60-
day sentence, which was suspended. The arresting officer, R.L. Moss, said in a statement Tuesday that she felt it necessary to use a stun gun because Huguely became abusive and his size was no match for her. She said in the statement that Huguely was “yelling obscenities and making threats.” According to the affidavit released in Charlottesville on Tuesday, Huguely waived his right to have an attorney present while he gave his chilling account of what happened at Love’s apartment. Huguely told police he communicated with Love by e-mail and took her computer and disposed of it. He also told them where they could find it; Longo said investigators have the computer and are “in the process of trying to see what evidentiary value may exist.” An autopsy on Love was concluded in Richmond, and Longo said investigators passed along to him “pieces” of information, but he would not release details until he has the full, official report from the medical examiner. Medical student Cliff Cutchins, who lives in the apartment building beside Huguely’s, said he didn’t know the suspect but had met Love and knew many of her friends. Some of his friends who were close to Love left town for a few days, said Cutchins, of Virginia Beach. Even with the details released Tuesday about Love’s death, Cutchins said it is hard to believe that her relationship with Huguely could have been abusive. “No matter what kind of relationship they had, there were no indications that it could have gotten this bad,” he said. “There’s no way this community would have let that happen.” Huguely, a midfielder, wasn’t a starter but played in all 15 games this season, with four goals and three assists. Love played defense and started three games this season.
KENT, Ohio — Forty years after her daughter became a milepost in America’s journey through anger and chaos, Doris Krause sat in a second-floor room in this college town and waited for truth to climb the stairs. “I wonder if anyone will ever own up to anything,” she said. It was 40 years ago Tuesday that Allison Krause, 19, a freshman at Kent State, was one of four students killed in a 13-second volley of gunfire by National Guard troops sent to quell antiwar protests on campus. They killed Jeffrey Miller, who had been throwing rocks and insults. They killed Allison Krause, who, a day earlier, slid a blossom into a guardsman’s rifle barrel and told him, “Flowers are better than bullets.” They killed Sandra Lee Scheuer, a speech therapy student crossing campus after classes were canceled. They killed William Knox Schroeder, a former Eagle Scout and ROTC member. In a sense, they killed William Perkins’ youth, and he was among the guardsmen, holding a rifle on the hillside, his innocence lost in a crackle of gunfire and a haze of smoke. “Those were just kids our age, and we were forced to be there,” he said from his home near Akron. The shooting sparked student strikes around the nation, closed colleges, flooded Washington with protesters. Kent’s students finished the academic year by mail. Some, like Lois Silverman Bernstein, never returned. She transferred to Pitt. “We all felt so violated — just thinking about the lives that were lost, what those people could have done, what they could have been,” she said. Bernstein’s brother was married to Scheuer’s sister. Sandy was a regular guest at the Silverman home in Wilkins. Like more than 1,000 other Kent State students, Bernstein was on the commons May 4, 1970, when the shooting broke out. After the deadly volley, she left for home, but first called Sandra Scheuer to see if she needed a ride as far as her home near Youngstown. “No answer,” she said. At the bus station her father picked her up, put an arm around her, and asked her not to scream. That’s how she found out a friend was dead. Allison was one of two daughters. This past week-
end, the surviving Krause sister, Laurel, presided over a four-day Kent State Truth Tribunal. The idea was to invite anyone who might know anything — students, witnesses, family members, even exguardsmen, to visit borrowed offices above a delicatessen on Water Street and tell their stories into a camera. Whether anyone would own up, or even if there remained any owning up to be done, the Krause family could not tell. Two trials — one criminal in which eight guardsmen were cleared of wrongdoing, another civil, which ended with a settlement for the grieving and wounded — have done little to answer the questions for which Doris and Laurel Krause seek answers. Official investigations blamed the Kent State shootings on panic, confusion and bad judgment. Alan Canfora, a protester who was shot in the wrist, says someone ordered the guardsmen to fire. Perkins says he never heard an order to shoot, that it was a case of confusion and miscalculation. Doris Krause can’t be sure. She’d like some answers. “To this day they’ve never let me know what happened to Allison,” she said. “They’ve never even told me she died.” She learned of her daughter’s death from phone calls from reporters. When she arrived at the hospital near here, nobody from the school met her. The closest thing they got to an acknowledgment from the school administration, she said, was an envelope that arrived by mail after the funeral. It was a check, partial reimbursement for the spring semester’s tuition, made out to Allison Krause, as if a dead 19-yearold could cash it. As the tribunal opened for business, not everybody in Kent was pleased with the prospect. Canfora, one of two members of Students for a Democratic Society on campus, is a reference librarian for the Kent State May 4 Center. The Kent library has collected its own oral history with more than 100 witnesses on tape, and he is wary of the latest project to collect evidence. “She’s coming in here and creating a lot of confusion,” Canfora said. Laurel Krause makes no apologies. She was 15 when she lost her sister and watched her father, Arthur, transformed from a comfortably suburban World War II veteran and Westinghouse executive into a crusader. “Our goal is to correct history,” she said. “It is our single goal.”
Picasso painting of his mistress sold for record $106.5 million NEW YORK (AP) — A 1932 Pablo Picasso painting of his mistress has sold for $106.5 million, a world record price for any work of art at auction. “Nude, Green Leaves and Bust,” which had a pre-sale estimate of between $70 million and $90 million, was sold at Christie’s auction house on Tuesday evening to an unidentified telephone bidder. There were nine minutes of bidding involving eight clients in the sale room and on the phone, Christie’s said. At $88 million, two bidders remained. The final bid was $95 million, but the buyer’s premi-
um took the sale price to $106.5 million. Conor Jordan, head of impressionist and modern art for Christie’s New York, said he was “ecstatic with the results.” “Tonight’s spectacular results showed the great confidence in the marketplace and the enthusiasm with which it welcomes top quality works,” he said. The striking work of Picasso’s muse and mistress Marie-Therese Walter has been exhibited in the United States only once, in 1961 in Los Angeles to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Picasso’s birth.
Another rarely seen Picasso is slated to sell today at Sotheby’s. ‘Woman in a Hat, Bust’ is a 1965 work, the last love of his life. It is estimated to sell for $8 million to $12 million. The painting, which measures more than 5 feet by 4 feet, shows a reclin-
ing nude figure with an image of Picasso in the background looking over her. The painting had belonged to the late California art patron Frances Lasker Brody, who bought it in the 1950s. It had been kept in her family since then. Part of the sale proceeds will benefit the Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, Calif., where Brody was on the board. The previous record for a work of art at auction was $104.3 million for “Walking Man I,” a sculpture by Alberto Giacometti sold on Feb. 3 at
Sotheby’s in London. The previous high price for a Picasso work was $104.2 million for “Boy With a Pipe (The Young Apprentice),” attained in 2004 at Sotheby’s New York. Another rarely seen Picasso is slated to sell today at Sotheby’s auction house. “Woman in a Hat, Bust” is a 1965 work inspired by Jacqueline Roque, the last love of Picasso’s life. It is estimated to sell for $8 million to $12 million. The work hung for 50 years in the Manhattan apartment of Patricia Kennedy Lawford, a sister of former President John F. Kennedy. It’s being sold by her estate.

RALEIGH — N.C. State athletic director Lee Fowler is resigning next month, ending a 10-year run with the school. He will step down June 30. In a release from the school, chancellor Randy Woodson said he spoke with Fowler on Monday and the two FOWLER “agreed that now is the appropriate time to make a change.” Woodson will name an interim director before Fowler’s last day to lead the department until a national search finds a replacement. N.C. State said it will honor Fowler’s contract, which expires Sept. 20, 2013, and pays him $280,000 per year. “Naturally I am disappointed that I will not see firsthand the fruits of 10 years’ work,” Fowler said in a statement, “but I have the greatest confidence that with the caliber of facilities and coaches we now have, along with a talented and dedicated administrative staff, the athletics program is poised for great success going forward.” Fowler, 58, directed the drive to upgrade facilities for the 23-sport department, most notably with the $98 million worth of work to bowl in Carter-Finley Stadium as well as building the Murphy Center to house the football program and Vaughn Towers with luxury suites and club seats. He also had to make a coaching move in football and men’s basketball. After Herb Sendek left to take over Arizona State’s basketball program in 2006, Fowler conducted a monthlong search that missed on big names like Rick Barnes and John Calipari before settling on former Wolfpack player Sidney Lowe. Later that year, Fowler fired Chuck Amato and lured Tom O’Brien away from Boston College to lead the football program. Last year, Fowler also hired Kellie Harper to lead the women’s basketball program after the death of Hall of Famer Kay Yow. Wolfpack fans have been particularly frustrated with Lowe, who inherited a program that had been to the NCAA tournament five straight years but has yet to go as he heads into his fifth year. O’Brien, meanwhile, has had a slow and injury-plagued start in three seasons.

Hornets blank Cuthbertson BY BRET STRELOW bstrelow@salisburypost.com
Salisbury’s Austin Flynn had mixed emotions about how Salisbury 9 the CCC doubles Cuthbertson 0 final played out last week. Flynn and Alan Lebowitz lost 7-6 (8-6), 6-3 against lower-seeded
teammates Seth Gentry and Alex Weant, who were a point away from trailing 5-1 in the opening set. “They were just so positive and had so much energy,” Flynn said. “That’s what we can take from it as a team — having that energy and having that positive mentality when we play harder teams. “We were really upset we lost, but
it made us kind of excited to see how good they could play.” The 2A dual-team tennis playoffs began Tuesday, and CCC champion Salisbury rolled to a 9-0 win against wild-card entry Cuthbertson out of the Rocky River Conference. The Hornets’ sharp doubles display with the outcome already decided impressed coach Chris Myers,
whose team advanced to a secondround meeting with either Rocky River No. 2 seed North Stanly (home) or PAC-6 champ Wheatmore (away). “We wanted to go out there and play with a purpose and play like we were down 4-2 like we were against Newton-Conover,” Myers said.

One was a conference champion, Concord 5 the other a W. Rowan 3 wild card. Talent levels were more even than the titles implied, and West Rowan fell 5-3 to visiting Concord in the first round of the 3A tennis playoffs Tuesday. West (14-3) earned a home match after going unbeaten in NPC play. The Spiders (13-7) finished third in a tough SPC,
which was guaranteed two postseason berths. “They’re pretty much a mirror image of our team,” West coach John Brown said. “You could flip a coin pretty much. It was tight.” Concord claimed two of three third-set tiebreakers in singles and led 4-2 going to doubles.

No. 3 seed Carson beat No. 6 Statesville 7-3 in the first round of the NPC tournament on Tuesday. Statesville scored three runs in the first against Carson pitcher Josh Martin, but the sophomore settled down after that. “Martin pitched a great ballgame after the first inning,” Carson coach Chris Cauble said. “We got some big hits. It was good to see Tyler Freeze swing the bat again like he’s capable.” Carson scored four runs in the secGRKMAN ond to take the lead. Zack Grkman’s tworun triple was the big blow of the inning. Freeze hit a solo homer. Carson plays in the early semifinal today at 4 p.m. at Staton Field against No. 2 West Iredell.

Kyle Munday drove in BROWN two runs. North scored four runs in the top of the first but couldn’t hold the lead. North starter Josh Price lasted just one-third of an inning and walked four batters. “Josh has been great for us all year,” North coach Rob Linder said. “So he’s due one bad one.” North hasn’t qualified for the playoffs yet, but it is a likely wild-card participant. “That’s what everyone says,” Linder stated. “I hope we get a chance to see what we can do, but there’s nothing we can do now but JONES wait and see.” No. 5 seed A.L.

SALISBURY FROM 1B
Hit in 9th inning gives SR softball a win over West BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
BRET STRELOW/SALISBURY POST
Salisbury’s Jordan Fuller crouches to avoid a high pitch.
WEST FROM 1B “The umpire was everywhere tonight — up, down, inside, outside. I think (Penninger) was forced to throw me a pitch he really didn’t want to.” Penninger, who yielded three runs and induced 11 groundouts in 6 1⁄3 innings, evened the score all by himself in the last of the fourth. After teammate Jestin Fritts lined a base hit up the middle, he smacked a firstpitch fastball from West starter D.J. Webb over the fence in left. “At first I didn’t think it was going out, but it kept climbing,” Penninger said after homering for the second straight game. “It was just a matter of staying back, keeping my head on

curveballs,” Bautista said after collecting three singles against Penninger. “When he couldn’t throw them for strikes any more, he came with the fastball and I was waiting.” West was still a run down when Untz grounded out to open the top of the seventh inning. That when South coach Thad Chrismon made a call to the bullpen, replacing Penninger with junior Daniel Mullis. “It was the fourth time through their lineup with Bautista coming up. He was hitting the ball hard,” Chrismon explained. “Preston did his job. He put us in position to win. But I wanted to give (West) something different to look at.” Mullis wasn’t the answer. He allowed six runs on four hits, walked two batters and hit two others — while retir-

Thomas Hester legged out an infield hit, stole second, advanced to third on a groundout and scored when Bautista grounded a sharp, one-out single into left. “He kept throwing me
Carmichael’s sharp grounder found a hole, and that 2-1 deficit turned into a 3-2 lead. Carmichael was the guy the Hornets employed the DH for during the first month or so of the season. “Spencer’s studied film and made adjustments,” Maddox said. “He’s coming through.” Everyone agreed Carmichael’s hit was huge. “I think you have to give Salisbury credit for coming back in and putting some runs up right after we got momentum with Tyler’s home run,” East Davidson coach Dan Tricarico said. “Tonseth just kept throwing strikes and keeping us off-balance. He deserved to win the ballgame.” Shortstop John Knox led off the Salisbury fifth with a no-doubt homer, his third of the season and second in two nights, for a 4-2 lead. Maddox had just informed Knox that the bottom of the lineup was carrying the load and it was time for the top of the order to contribute something. Knox delivered.
Monday, it was playing its second game of the week. If the Hornets had lost, they would’ve had to play again Thursday in the first round of tournament. Had they won that one, the semis would’ve been forced back to Saturday because the Hornets would not have been allowed to play four times in a week. “We had to have this one,” Maddox said with a smile. “There’s an awful lot going on Saturday, including the prom and my daughter’s graduation.”

LANDIS — South Rowan players S. Rowan 4 h u g g e d W. Rowan 3 s e n i o r T a y l o r Hartsell after her gamewinning hit in the ninth inning decided a 4-3 NPC struggle with West Rowan on Tuesday. It was South’s senior day. Signs encouraging Raider players lined the fences and Hartsell, who doesn’t play often, came HARTSELL through the way she probably dreamed about coming through in that situation. It was a big win for South and its first against West in years. It tied the teams in the conference standings with 4-7 records for at least 48 hours. South (6-10 overall) has the more difficult challenge when the teams get back into action for regular-season finales on Thursday. South plays at second-place North Iredell. West Rowan, takes on sixth-place West Iredell. West probably should have won in seven innings, and it definitely should have won in eight. West senior pitcher STEPHENS S a b r i n a Stephens was tough on South hitters all day. Kirstie Corriher did a nice job on the mound for the Raiders. Kim Fesperman’s RBI triple gave South an early 1-0 lead, but the Falcons got even when Brandy Lloyd knocked in a run. The game stayed tied through regulation. West scored twice in the top of the eighth. With two out and a runner at first, Lauryn Shulenburger split the leftcenter gap for a tiebreaking double. Then Stephens singled to drive in an insurance run. In the bottom of the eighth, Whitney Ashley produced a leadoff single for the Raiders, but Stephens retired the next two hitters. With West an out away from victory, an infield throwing error kept the MORROW R a i d e r s alive. When Kayla Morrow bounced a groundball toward third, West had another chance to end it, but another throw to first sailed high, and two runs came across to force another deadlock. West threatened in the ninth but Ashley, South’s right fielder, ended the threat by throwing out a runner who was trying to advance to third on a teammate’s single. South finally won it in the ninth when Fesperman doubled down the left-field line with two out and sprinted home when Hartsell’s hard grounder found a hole. “I guess we have a way of always making it exciting,” South coach Cassie Siege said. “It’s a really good win. It shows what we’re capable of.”

San Jose on brink of sweep
Chief backs officer
Associated Press
DETROIT — Joe Thornton and the San Jose Sharks took a huge step toward quieting their critics. Thornton’s assist set up Patrick Marleau’s winning score 7:07 into overtime and his second goal in two games sparked a comeback for San Jose, which beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-3 on Tuesday night and grabbed a 3-0 lead in the second-round series. The sweet-passing center has been called “No Show Joe” by some for not producing in the playoffs. “I don’t know how this evolved, but you saw a very determined nineteen,” Sharks coach Todd McLellan said, referring to Thornton by his jersey number. Thornton, meanwhile, shrugged off what he had done. “Business as usual,” he said. San Jose has been dogged for failing to get to the Western Conference finals since its longest run in 2004, but an impressive rally from a 3-1 deficit with 13 minutes left in regulation could prove to be pivotal for the franchise. “Hopefully down the road we can look back and say, ’You know this was a turning point,”’ defenseman Dan Boyle said. “But again, there’s still too much work ahead of us.” Game 4 is Thursday night in Detroit, where the Red Wings will try to stay alive. Penguins 2, Canadiens 0 MONTREAL — Evgeni Malkin scored a power-play goal 1:16 into the third period and Marc-Andre Fleury made 18 saves for his fourth NHL playoff shutout, lifting Pittsburgh over Montreal in Game 3 and into a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinal series. Malkin took Sergei Gonchar’s pass and fired a onetimer from the right side past Jaroslav Halak to give the Penguins a 1-0 edge. It was Malkin’s fifth goal of the playoffs, but first since Game 4 of the Penguins’ first-round win against Ottawa. Pascal Dupuis scored into an empty net with 15 seconds remaining to seal the victory. It was Fleury’s first playoff shutout since a 6-0 win over Philadelphia on May 18, 2008. Pittsburgh outshot Montreal 25-18, including 13-3 in the second. Halak stopped 23 shots for the Canadiens, who have lost seven of eight playoff games at home, including three of four this year. Game 4 is Thursday night in Montreal.

Magic center Dwight Howard goes up for a shot in the first half of his team’s win against Atlanta.
Orlando hammers Hawks BY ANTONIO GONZALEZ Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — The Orlando Magic showed they Magic 114 could survive with Hawks 71 Dwight Howard in chronic foul trouble. With him on the floor, they were dominant. Howard had 21 points and 12 rebounds in one of the most crushing playoff wins in Magic history, a 114-71 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinal. Howard added five blocks and avoided the fouls and frustration that overwhelmed him in the first round, helping the Magic go ahead by as many as 46 points. Vince Carter finished with 20 points as Orlando showed no signs of rust after an eight-day layoff. “I think the challenge is not to get carried away with the score,” Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. “It was one of those nights where everything just snowballed.” Did it ever. Josh Smith scored 14 points and Zaza Pachulia had 12 for a Hawks team that had little playoff poise. Game 2 in the best-of-seven series is Thursday night in Orlando, and Atlanta will have to find some way to rally from an embarrassing defeat. “It was an ugly game for us,” Hawks coach Mike Woodson said. “I wish I knew what happened.” Only a 47-point win in the first round
against Boston in 1995 was a larger margin of victory in a playoff game for Orlando. This was just one big Magic highlight reel. Nothing riled up fans more than when Howard snatched a layup attempt by Smith in the air, pulling down the ball with one hand. He threw the ball upcourt to Jason Williams, who lobbed a pass from just past midcourt for an alley-oop dunk to Mickael Pietrus that was part of 17 straight Magic points in the second quarter. The arena was roaring so loud that, even after Woodson called timeout and was on the floor pleading with officials for a goaltend, many players couldn’t hear the whistle and continued. Finally, somebody had to tell the Magic to stop. “We’re trying to accomplish something this year. We want to come out sharp, in tune with what needed to be done. We wanted to deliver the first blow,” Carter said. “We wanted to get in rhythm, for our intensity level more than anything to be at a really high-level.” Timeouts might have been Atlanta’s only reprieve. The Hawks were held to 10 points in the second quarter, and just 11 points in the third. Howard and most of the Magic starters weren’t even needed in the fourth, and Atlanta players covered their heads with towels on the bench in the final minutes. Fresh off a Game 7 victory against undermanned Milwaukee, the Hawks were outhustled and outmuscled at every step. The little more than 48-hour turnaround didn’t keep them sharp, and
they looked more like the team trying to get back in rhythm. The Magic came out and hit the Hawks where it hurt — literally. Howard grabbed a defensive rebound and swung his elbow to shake off Smith, hitting Atlanta’s forward in the face. Howard was whistled for a foul, and Smith iced down his cheek on the bench during a break. The Hawks didn’t know what hit them. “They made a run,” Pachulia said, “and they never looked back.” That inside-outside game with Howard in the paint was the biggest reason Atlanta has struggled against its Southeast Division rival for several seasons. The Magic had taken six straight regular-season games in the series until the Hawks won on a buzzer-beating dunk by Smith in their last meeting. Howard and Co. weren’t taking any chances this time. If the NBA’s two-time defensive player of the year can avoid foul trouble, it could be another quick secondround stint for Atlanta. The Hawks were swept by Cleveland in the conference semifinals last year, and they’ll need to find a way to slow down Howard to have any chance this time. Van Gundy was already thinking about how to help his to put this win behind them. “I told them that (Wednesday) I will have for them virtually every time in NBA playoff history that a team had a blowout win, came back and lost the next game,” Van Gundy said. “You’ve got to forget what happened.”
Leslie officially signs to play for N.C. State Associated Press
RALEIGH — N.C. State’s talented recruiting class is now one of the nation’s best. The school announced that McDonald’s All-American C.J. Leslie from Word of God High School has signed to play for the Wolfpack, officially ending the Raleigh star’s back-and-forth relationship with the Wolfpack. “It is certainly exciting to bring a player with the type of talent and athleticism that C.J. possess to our program,” coach Sidney Lowe said. Leslie, a 6-foot-8 forward, is ranked as the 11th-best prospect overall by Scout.com, a recruiting site that also has N.C. State’s recruiting class ranked fifth nationally. Leslie joins point guard Ryan Harrow and wing guard Lorenzo Brown in the incoming class. “C.J. Leslie gives the Pack one of the top collections of talent in the country,” Scout.com recruiting analyst Dave Telep said. “Athletically, he has few peers, and to stay home and play for the Wolfpack gives Sidney Lowe his biggest haul as a head coach.” LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky coach John Calipari could be in line for a raise. Athletic director Mitch Barnhart said Tuesday night the university and Calipari have started talks on a new deal that would keep the coach with the Wildcats for the rest of his career. Barnhart’s comments came just hours after reports surfaced linking
Calipari and the coaching vacancy with the NBA’s Chicago Bulls, who fired Vinny Del Negro on Tuesday.

After long absences from tennis, Kournikova and Hingis will play together in the legends’ doubles event at the All England Club this year, the Octagon agency said Tuesday. Five-time major champion Hingis, 29, retired for the second time in 2007, when she was given a two-year suspension for testing positive for cocaine after a match at Wimbledon. She denied taking the drug but did not appeal the ban, which ended on Sept. 30, 2009. The 28-year-old Kournikova hasn’t been a regular on tour since 2003.

Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey examined video of the arrest and felt the officer acted within department guidelines, which allow officers to use Tasers to arrest fleeing suspects, said police spokesman Lt. Frank Vanore. The department’s internal affairs unit is investigating, Vanore said. The department is now reviewing whether its officers should be on the field wrangling runaway fans who aren’t threatening anyone, Vanore said. “Should we be on the field at all? I think that’s what’s being looked at,” Vanore said. “I’m not sure we should be chasing people around the field.” Another fan ran onto the field at Citizens Bank Park during Tuesday night’s Phillies game and gave himself up without incident in center field. The 34-year-old man was booed by the sellout crowd and charged with defiant trespass, disorderly conduct and narcotics possession. Consalvi, a high school senior from Boyertown, leapt onto the field at the top of the eighth inning during Monday night’s game against St. Louis. He ran around in the outfield, waving a white towel, and dodged two security officers. The police officer chased him for about 30 seconds before the stun gun probe hit the teenager, who stumbled forward, slid face-first on the grass and stayed down for about 30 seconds before standing up and walking off the field. “From the preliminary look at it, it appears that the officer was within the policy,” said Vanore, adding that he did not know what may have transpired before the video started. “He was attempting to make an arrest and the male was attempting to flee.” Police said the teen is charged with defiant trespass, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Consalvi’s mother, Amy Ziegler, apologized for his actions and said he regrets running onto the field. “It was stupid. It was just absolutely stupid,” she told WTXF-TV. His father, Wayne Consalvi, told The Philadelphia Inquirer that his son called him from the ballpark to tell him about the stunt. Wayne Consalvi said he told him not to do it. The team said the police department was discussing with the Phillies whether using the stun gun was appropriate. Vanore said it was the first time he knew of that a Philadelphia officer had used a Taser on a fan on the field. There have been instances in other cities of police using stun guns on unruly fans in the stands, including last year at an A’s game in Oakland, Calif. Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell called the incident “a big mistake.” “There’s no need to use Tasers on fans who run on the field,” the former Philadelphia mayor told WCAU-TV. “We should just have enough personnel out there to surround them, take them off the field and put them in jail.” Players didn’t think the officer’s action was excessive. “If you’re on the streets running away from a cop, doesn’t that cop have a right to Tase you because your fleeing from a cop? So what’s the difference,” Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino said. Cardinals manager Tony La Russa agreed the use of a Taser was appropriate. “If somebody comes up there and does some damage, they’re going to be secondguessing not doing anything,” La Russa said.

Sad news precedes Tiger loss Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — Hours after learning beloved Tigers announcer Ernie Harwell had died, Detroit lost to Minnesota 4-3 on Tuesday night. J.J. Hardy saved a run with a brilliant defensive play at shortstop in the top of the ninth, then tripled and scored on a wild pitch in the bottom half. Word of Harwell’s death at 92 after a battle with cancer started to spread shortly after the game began. Brennan Boesch’s homer in the ninth tied it for the Tigers and Alex Avila hit a two-out double. Hardy made a sliding stop on grounder by Ramon Santiago and threw out Avila after he rounded third base too quickly. Hardy hit a one-out triple and scored the winning run when a pitch from Ryan Perry (1-2) zipped past Avila and into the Tigers’ dugout. Red Sox 5, Angels 1 BOSTON — Jeremy Hermida’s bases-loaded double broke an eighth-inning tie, and Jon Lester pitched eight innings of five-hit ball to lead Boston. The Angels have started a 10-game road trip with five straight losses. One night after putting up 17 runs in the series opener, the Red Sox were quiet until the eighth, when they scored four times. Yankees 4, Orioles 1 NEW YORK — New York’s A.J. Burnett outpitched Brian Matusz again and Joba Chamberlain closed out Baltimore for the second straight night. With Mariano Rivera again unavailable due to stiffness in his left side, Chamberlain pitched the ninth for his second save in two nights. Francisco Cervelli, starting at catcher while Jorge Posada recuperates from a strained right calf, had three hits and scored twice. Blue Jays 8, Indians 5 CLEVELAND — Jose Bautista homered for the second straight game and Toronto benefited from nine walks. Royals 7, White Sox 2 CHICAGO — Jose Guillen hit a two-run homer and Luke Hochevar pitched six sharp innings for Kansas City. Mike Aviles had three hits, including a solo homer in the ninth, and Scott Podsednik had two hits, including an RBI triple against his former team. NATIONAL LEAGUE Pirates 3, Cubs 2 PITTSBURGH — Ryan Church’s two-run homer put Pittsburgh ahead in the sixth, Andy LaRoche added a solo shot and the Pirates bounced back from a bad road trip. Mets 5, Reds 4 CINCINNATI — Rod Barajas hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the ninth to rally New York after Cincinnati had caught up with a homer of its own was upheld after a review. Barajas hit the first pitch from Francisco Cordero (1-2) for his seventh homer. The catcher has homered five times in his last nine games. The Mets blew a 4-2 lead in the eighth when Joey Votto and Scott Rolen hit back-toback homers off Fernando Nieve. Rolen’s homer was upheld by an umpire’s review — the ball cleared the wall before a fan touched it. Giants 9, Marlins 6 (12) MIAMI — Aubrey Huff hit a two-run single to break a tie in the 12th inning, and San Francisco earned the seesaw victory. The Giants’ Aaron Rowand hit a two-out solo homer in the ninth against Leo Nunez to tie the game. Dan Uggla’s threerun homer with two outs in the eighth off Sergio Romo gave the Marlins a 6-5 lead. Unbeaten Giants ace Tim Lincecum had 13 strikeouts in seven innings and left with a 5-3 lead, but he was denied his fifth win of the season when Florida rallied. Diamondbacks 1, Astros 0 HOUSTON — Justin Upton homered and Ian Kennedy pitched six-plus solid innings for Arizona. Upton’s shot to center came in the third inning of Arizona’s second straight win that extended Houston’s losing streak to a season-high tying eight games. The Astros lost eight in a row to start the season. Kennedy (2-1) gave up eight hits and struck out three before Juan Gutierrez and Chad Qualls completed the shutout.

Hernandez takes care of Atlanta BY JOSEPH WHITE Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Livan Hernandez needed 41 pitches to get Nationals 4 through the first inning. Braves 1 Ryan Zimmerman went 0 for 4. The right fielder and shortstop committed ugly errors. But these are the 2010 Washington Nationals, who are actually in the neighborhood of first place in the NL East. Hernandez persevered to keep his ERA under 1.00. Every starting position player except Zimmerman got a hit. The right fielder made up for his error with a diving catch that saved a run, and the shortstop atoned for his miscue by hitting a home run. Hernandez allowed two runs — one earned — while throwing a season-high 123 pitches over a season-low 51⁄3 innings Tuesday night as the Nationals moved back to two games above .500 with a 6-3 win over the Atlanta Braves. “It’s goes back to finding ways to win,” said Josh Willingham, who hit one of three solo homers for the Nationals. “Last year, it seemed like sometimes we found ways to lose.” Hernandez (4-1) walked five and watched his ERA scoot from 0.87 all the way to 0.99 because of a solo home run by rookie Jason Heyward in the fourth. Not bad considering that the first inning seemed to take half the night. “That inning defines Livan Hernandez, basically,” said Ian Desmond, who had the error-and-homer night for Washington. “He was in trouble, he stayed calm, he kept on making his pitches and worked his way out of it. That’s what he does every time.” Adam Dunn added a solo homer as the Nationals snapped Atlanta’s three-game winning streak and handed the Braves their eighth straight road loss, the franchise’s longest road skid since 1996. Heyward remains hot, but the rest of the lineup could only marvel at Hernandez. “He threw 150 pitches and he didn’t even break a sweat,” Atlanta third baseman Chipper Jones said. “I’ll say this about Livan, the repertoire might not blow your mind, but that guy knows how to pitch. He changes speeds on every single pitch that he has.” Braves starter Kenshin Kawakami (0-5) allowed three runs and seven hits over five innings. He was bothered by a blister on his right foot but said that wasn’t the problem. “It’s the way I’m pitching,” Kawakami said through an interpreter, “and I’m not pitching right now, getting into a good rhythm — that’s pathetic right now.” Heyward remains the Braves’ standout star in the young season. He hit his eighth homer on the day he was chosen the NL’s rookie of the month, then did something that really shows he’s becoming hot stuff: He drew his first career intentional walk in the fifth.
Ruiz’s homer, more antics mark victory BY ROB MAADDI Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — For a guy who hadn’t gone deep this season, Phillies 2 Carlos Ruiz took a couple Cardinals 1 powerful swings in the same at-bat. Fortunately for him, one of the balls he hit stayed fair. Ruiz hit a leadoff home run in the 10th inning and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 on Tuesday night after another fan ran onto the field at Citizens Bank Park. On Monday night, a teenager was Tasered in the outfield after eluding security for about 30 seconds. The 34-year-old man Tuesday gave himself up without incident, was booed by the sellout crowd and charged with defiant trespass, disorderly conduct and narcotics possession. The interloper may have ruined Cole Hamels’ rhythm. The Phillies starter was cruising to that point, taking a six-hitter into the ninth. But after the man ran on the field, Hamels quickly allowed consecutive doubles to David Freese and Yadier Molina to tie the game. “I have a job to do and I have to make pitches, which I wasn’t able to do,” Hamels said. Closer Brad Lidge came in and pitched well to keep it tied. Ruiz, who’d hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the seventh, homered against Blake Hawksworth (0-1). Ruiz hit a long shot foul before driving a 2-1 pitch over the fence in left. Hawksworth put his head down and walked off the mound before the ball cleared the flower pot above the wall. Ruiz circled the bases and was mobbed by teammates after his second career game-ending homer. “I knew it as soon as I hit it that it was foul. I was too aggressive,” Ruiz said of his first mighty cut. “I was looking for a fastball again. I relaxed. I saw it and hit it.” Hawksworth knew the game was over once Ruiz swung. “It was a sinker and it maybe ran back over a little too much. He was definitely hacking,” Hawksworth said.

Woods trying to find groove BY DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — The 18th hole on the TPC Sawgrass is not nearly as daunting without wind, which was the case on a muggy Tuesday morning when Tiger Woods set up over the tee shot with a 3-wood in hand. The ball never had a chance to stay dry. It started down the left side with a severe hook and splashed down some 20 yards to the left of the water’s edge. With a mild curse under his breath, Woods asked his caddie for another ball. It was his fifth ball in the water during nine holes of practice at The Players Championship. He lost two in the water on the front nine the day before. There have been flashes of brilliance, as always, but far more shots that hardly resemble golf from the world’s best player. “It’s just a matter of ... getting my mind where it needs to be,” Woods said. “And certainly, I’ve made a lot of adjustments in my life, and I’ve gone through a lot — a lot. Just trying to make sure I get everything organized so I can play.” Woods is capable of making some form of history at just about any golf tournament, and The Players Championship is no exception. Only now, the question is whether Woods will miss the cut in consecutive tournaments for the first time in his career. He didn’t just miss the cut last week at Quail Hollow, he missed it by a mile. With a 79 in the second round — his second-highest score in his career — Woods posted his highest 36-hole total (153) in 14 years on the PGA Tour. Two days of practice this week did little to change the notion that his game — not to mention his head — is not in a good spot. After three days of rampant speculation that he would ditch his swing coach, Woods said that nothing has changed with Hank Haney, who was not at Sawgrass. Haney rarely goes to tournaments outside the majors. “I’m still working with him, yeah,” Woods said. How did he tie for fourth at Augusta National in his first tournament in five months, then miss the cut by eight shots in his next start?
Woods has hit into the trees even during good times. The surprise was the mental mistakes he made, whether it was failing to leave a chip shot below the hole, or powering putts when he should know how fast the green is running. Woods said it’s getting better, perhaps because “it couldn’t get any worse.” Physical or mental? “All of the above,” he said. “Didn’t hit the ball very good, didn’t think myself around the golf course very well, and didn’t putt well, didn’t chip well. I teed up the ball well. I didn’t have any balls fall off tees. It just kind of got worse from there.” The Players Stadium Course is not much of a tonic. While he won The Players Championship in 2001, this is the only tournament where Woods has finished out of the top 20 at least five times. A year ago, he was in the final group, five shots behind, and was out of hunt at the turn. He wound up eighth. Adding to the memories is that this is the second time Woods has come to Sawgrass this year. The other was on Feb. 19 to make a public apology to family and friends for his serial infidelity. He never looked more uncomfortable that day in the Sunset Room of the clubhouse for a 13 1⁄2-minute statement that was televised worldwide. Emotionally, he compared the depths of his emotions to four years ago, when his father died after a long battle with cancer. Woods took nine weeks off, then returned to the U.S. Open and missed the cut for the first time in a major. Among the differences: After missing the cut, Woods didn’t finish worse than second in a stroke-play tournament for the next seven months. It’s hard to envision such a performance now, not with seven balls in the water over his last 18 holes, even if it is just practice. If he’s not feeling the pressure from within, there suddenly is an outside force — Phil Mickelson. For the first time since the 1997 Masters that Woods won by a record 12 shots, he is no longer the outright favorite by British bookmaker William Hills. Woods and Mickelson are joint favorites at 7-to-1. Mickelson has a chance to rise to No. 1 in the world if he wins The Players Championship and Woods finishes out of the top five.

Salisbury’s Seth Gentry won 6-0, 6-0 against Cuthbertson’s Cole Strader at No. 5 singles on Tuesday.
HORNETS FROM 1B “There’s going to come a point, whether it’s next Tuesday or some point, where we’re going to absolutely have to win some doubles matches.” If the Hornets (16-2) keep winning, they could face Shelby in the third round and top-ranked Newton-Conover in the Western final. The Red Devils swept three doubles matches in a 7-2 win
FALCONS FROM 1B The Spiders clinched a second-round date with Marvin Ridge or Hickory Ridge when Bryson GoolsbyThomas Lynch wrapped up a 10-6 victory against D.J. Petrea-Kevin Robinson. “It was a great year,” Brown said. “We did really well to win the conference. I was really proud of the guys, and I’m still proud of them after today. That was a tough team, and it could have gone either way.” West picked up a straightset victory from second-seeded Joel Brittain (6-1, 6-2 over Croley) but lost in straights at No. 4 (Aldridge won 6-4, 6-0 over Ricky Meek) and No. 6 (Lynch won 6-1, 6-0 over Locklear). The Falcons’ only triumph involving a third-set tiebreak-
against Salisbury on April 15. The first step in a possible playoff march didn’t present much of a challenge. Top-seeded Steven Page (against Cuthbertson’s Josh Walker) and Gentry (against fifth-seeded Cole Strader) didn’t drop a game. Flynn (against secondseeded Adam Schneeberger) and Weant (against sixth-seeded Chase Lunning) were 6-1, 6-1 winners. Lebowitz claimed a 6-1, 6-0 decision against third-seeded Ben Lunning, and fourth-seeded Lewis Young won 6-0, 7-5 over Roland Deslauriers.
er occurred at No. 3, w h e r e H o l m e s pulled out a 4-6, 7-6 (7-5), (11-9) victory against Colin Miller. HOLMES Concord’s J u s t i n Wycoff won 5-7, 6-4, (10-6) against top-seeded Jesse Myers, and Goolsby was a 6-3, 6-7 (5-7), (10-8) winner over Petrea at No. 5. Petrea faced a match point with a 9-8 deficit in the last tiebreaker when he hit a perfect lob over Goolsby’s head. Goolsby chased down the shot, returned the ball with his back to the net and won the decisive point. “You know how tiebreakers go,” Brown said. “Once you get that close in a tiebreak, you just have to have it fall your way. Today it didn’t fall our way.”
The Hornets were even more dominant in doubles. Page-Young and FlynnLebowitz won 8-0 at the top two spots. Gentry-Weant finished the match with an 8-1 victory. “We know what’s at stake, but we’re also still trying to have fun,” Weant said. “That’s the main reason we’re out here, to enjoy ourselves. It’s not really a sport if you can’t enjoy it. “We’re having fun, but we’re trying to put the pedal to the metal and play as well as we can now that it really counts.”

American Harvest Market opens in Spencer B Y K ATIE S CARVEY kscarvey@salisburypost.com
Steve Timbinaris has spent his whole life working around food, from working on farms, to food packaging to cooking in restaurants. He’s served up Mediterranean Asian and Italian cuisine. “I’ve cooked just about everything,” he says. And now, he’s using all of that knowledge to open a new fresh market in Spencer. American Harvest Market, 1303 S. Salisbury Ave., is located in what was previously an auto parts store. The store has 3,500 square feet, but for now, Timbinaris is using only the front of it. Timbinaris chose the location because it’s near his home and because he believes Spencer can support a farmers’ market store. The market has been open for about a month. Plans are in the works to open up the back area and add additional things — including ovens so he can bake on site. He’d like to eventually put in a deli section, and he wants to offer fresh eggs and milk as well. Establishing the business, though, is his first priority. “I’ve just got to do things through stages,” he says. Timbinaris moved to Salisbury from New Jersey four years ago to find a better quality of life for his family. His wife, Kathleen, directs a pre-school called Bright Horizons in Charlotte. They have three children: Stephen, Caroline and Meghan. Timbinaris, who is 36, has an extensive cooking background. “I’ve been cooking now for 15 years,” he says. He worked in a Mooresville Italian restaurant but was laid off when the economy faltered. That’s when he decided to open his own business. Much of what Timbinaris will sell at his market he will grow himself. He’s got a large garden at his Salisbury home, and a neighbor lets him use an additional lot. Right now, he’s Store hours growing Mon.- Sat. bok choy, 9 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. radishes, Chinese 704-431-3844 cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, swiss chard, Brussels sprouts and cabbage. Timbinaris has taken classes at Rutgers University that taught him about hydroponics and greenhouses. What he doesn’t produce himself he tries to get from local growers, like strawberries and lettuce from Twin Oaks Farms in China Grove. What he can’t get locally he carefully selects from wholesalers in Charlotte. He leaves the market around 6:30 p.m. and then goes home — not to relax but to work some more. That’s when he begins baking.
KATIE SCARVEY/SALISBURY POST
Steve Timbinaris talks to Edith Sims outside his new business, American Harvest Market, which opened about four weeks ago in Spencer.
Sometimes, he doesn’t finish up until midnight. It’s a lot of work, he admits. But his customers are enjoying the results of his evening labor: freshly baked cheese bread, banana bread, carrot cake, apple pies and apple cake. He also offers other baked goods, including Danish, turnovers, hard rolls and Italian breads from Nova’s Bakery, a European-style bakery in Charlotte. The baked goods, he says, don’t last long. He also offers pitas from New Jersey and New York that are more authentic than what can be found locally, he says. There’s an Italian section with olive oils, gourmet pasta and sun-dried tomatoes.
The market features gourmet pastas (above), artisan breads (above left) and fresh local strawberries (below). The market offers a selection of fresh herbs and local honey from Buddy’s Bee Farm, as well as local pecans. “I think the business will do all right,” Timbinaris says. “Right now it’s a little hard because people don’t see it as they drive by because it’s been an auto parts store for years. It will take some time, but I think it will do well.” Store hours are 9 a.m.-6:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The phone number is 704-431-3844.
May is a good time to plant veggies, flowers B Y S UE D AVIS For the Salisbury Post
Early May is a good time to try vegetables you don’t usually have in your kitchen. It’s also time to think about planting ornamentals and summer vegetables, and cutting flowers. You can find those at the Salisbury Farmers Market. This week, patio vegetable plants for containers and several varieties of cabbage make their first appearance this season. If you have limited space but want to grow your own vegetables, Dawn’s Greenhouse has Heirloom Pink, Red and Yellow Patio tomatoes that grow to be only 24 inches high and produce flavorful fruit. DARRELL BLACKWELDER/FOR THE SALISBURY POST Dawn also has patio cucumbers, Kole crops, Napa cabbage, turnips and cauliflower are now available squash, okra and eggplant. These
at the Farmers Market in Salisbury.
vegetable plants are small and compact, growing upright to less than 30 inches high. They are ready for immediate transplanting and should begin bearing fruit in early July. In addition to being good to eat, these plants will create color for your patio or deck. Correll Farm has Napa cabbage. According to “How to Pick a Peach” by Russ Parsons, there are three general categories of cabbages: round, red and long-headed. Napa cabbage is the most widely known of the long-headed Asian cabbages. The word napa or nappa is the Japanese work for cabbage. These cabbages have pale yellow-green heads that are long, rather than round. They are more delicate in both flavor and texture than a round-headed cabbage. They can be
used raw in salads, grated or sliced thin for slaws or sautéed. Ask for help in selecting a napa cabbage if you are not sure what to look for. Once you get it home, do not wash it until you are ready to use it. It will keep a long time in a plastic bag in the vegetable drawer. They are best if you can eat them within a few days after picking. For more information about the Farmers Market, visit www. salisburyfarmersmarket.com. The Farmers Market is located in downtown Salisbury at the corner of South Main and Bank streets. Visit the Farmers Market from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesdays and 7 a.m. to noon Saturdays.

Ask Amy: Husband clammed up when confronted number. I told him that wasn’t true and said I knew who called. He had no response. Am I wrong to think there is something shady about a married man who continues to speak with women from his past and hides it from his wife? He does not have children or any other ties with these women. Life is too short to put up with this. What should I do? —Worried Wife Dear Worried: There’s nothing necessarily “wrong” with maintaining relationships with exes — many people manage to do this successfully. The problem here is with your husband’s secrecy. You’ve confronted him and he reacted like a child backed into a corner. Now it’s time for you both to handle this like grown-ups.
You should speak with him in a neutral way. In return he should be truthful. Granted, this is a tall order. That’s why this conversation would work best if it were directed by a professional counselor. Life is indeed short. But you can pull back from this brink and even improve your relationship if you deal with it openly and honestly. Dear Amy: My daughter (age 6) has a friend from preschool she used to play with. She is now in kindergarten and has new friends and does not express any desire to play with this previous friend, who goes to a different school. However, the mother of the preschool friend contacts me often to try to get the girls together to play. In addition to the fact that my daughter isn’t interested,
my husband and I feel uncomfortable with the child’s father. He is very huggy with the kids and often tries to play with them. This is a red flag to my husband and me, and we don’t want our daughter playing at their house. I am conflicted about how to deal with the mother. Should I continue to make excuses, or is it best to tell her some form of the truth? I have no idea how to word that and don’t like the idea of offending her. Any advice on how to deal with this? —Unsure Dear Unsure: I wonder if a huggy mom who tried to join in and play with the kids would raise a red flag with you and your husband. You may be overreacting to this. All the same, as parents
you have to use your best judgment about where and with whom your daughter will spend time. If your daughter has lost interest in this friend, you can say to the mom: “I’m sorry, I realize you want to get the kids together, but ‘Sandy’ seems to have moved on to another crop of kids at her school and I can’t get her interested. I’m really sorry.” Dear Amy: As a longtime florist, I loved your response to “Romance Deprived.” I had a gentleman come into my shop wanting to send his wife of 50 years a dozen roses. Being married during hard times, they had agreed not to buy each other gifts, which they didn’t do for 50 years. He, however, thought 50 years deserved something special. When I delivered her ros-
Cheapskate: How to determine a good deal on bath tissue There’s a question that shows up in my mailbox a lot, and it’s one that has gone unanswered until now. “How can I compare prices for toilet paper when there is no standard size?” For years, I’ve searched for a formula that would offer a way to find a bargain on bath tissue. Today’s first reader tip offers just that: a quick and easy way to MARY compare HUNT across all the variations and packaging sizes. • Tip of the month. Shop for bath tissue the way you shop for carpet or fabric: by the price per square foot. There
is no standard square footage for a roll, but the measurements are listed on the package. I have found that the closer the price is to the square feet of tissue in the package the better the deal is for two-ply tissue. For example, if there are 525 square feet of tissue total, the price should be no more than $5.25. I have seen 360 square feet of tissue selling for $9. That is almost triple-price! This same strategy works for figuring out the best price on paper towels, too. — Terri D., Minnesota
• Color keeper. Years ago, I worked for the Gap, back when you still could buy unwashed Levi’s. We always suggested that you dry-clean your jeans or slacks just once before laundering them for
the first time. The chemicals in the dry cleaning process help set the dye into the fibers, so they do not fade as quickly. — Diane K., Ohio
• Purse-free. I don’t carry all of my membership cards everywhere I go, and I even have stopped carrying a purse or a wallet. I only carry my license and any cards I know I’ll need that particular day. This may seem a little extreme, but it happened as a gradual result of leaving my credit cards at home. Instead of swiping my rewards cards, I just give the cashier my phone number, and I still get all the benefits. This arrangement rarely has caused me a problem, and I have found living purse-free
to be incredibly liberating. — Lorelei O.,
curs, I know what to do. — Scott,
Georgia
• Musical mice. When I heard a mouse in my bathroom drawers shredding my cotton swabs and leaving droppings, I put small headphones in the drawer, found the most obnoxious music station I could, and turned the volume up to high. Rodents hate loud noises, and it drives them away. Once the mice leave, block all entrances. — Elizabeth M.,

Coroner: Haim died of pneumonia complications LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actor Corey Haim died from pneumonia complicated by an enlarged heart, bad lungs and narrowed blood vessels, while drugs found in his system played no role in his death, the Los Angeles County coroner said Tuesday. Haim, 38, died of natural causes from “community-acquired pneumonia” along with lung, heart and blood vessel problems, according to an autopsy report. Low levels of eight drugs, including both prescription and over-the-counter medications, were found in his system along with marijuana, coroner’s spokesman Craig Harvey said. “But nothing was at a level that would have contributed to his death,” Harvey said. They included common cold and flu medications, such as ibuprofen and a cough-suppressant, he said. Haim, who had struggled with drug problems throughout his life, died March 10 after collapsing in his mother’s apartment. Haim was ill with flulike symptoms before his death, and police said he was taking over-the-counter and prescription medications. “The pneumonia is what killed him,” Harvey said. Mark Heaslip, the actor’s agent, did not return a phone message seeking comment Tuesday. California Attorney General Jerry Brown said in April that Haim employed “doctor shopping” to obtain 553 prescription pills in the two months before his death. Brown called Haim — the star of 1980s films such as “The Lost Boys” and “License to Drive” — a poster child for prescription drug abuse. He said Haim obtained powerful sedatives such as Valium and Xanax and painkillers such as Vicodin and Oxycontin. However, no Oxycontin was found in his body, Harvey said. He noted that Haim’s heart was abnormally large and factored in his death.
www.salisburypost.com www.salisburypost.com www.salisburypost.com www.salisburypost.com www.salisburypost.com
“His heart was 530 grams. The average normal heart weighs 300 grams,” Harvey said. Haim also had damaged lungs and arteriosclerosis of
his coronary arteries, with some vessels 50-percent and even 75-percent blocked. Harvey said it was unclear how long Haim had suffered from the medical problems
or the pneumonia or whether earlier treatment might have saved him. A message left with Brown’s office was not immediately returned Tuesday.

more money on board. And makers of luxury goods are benefiting from a release of pent-up demand for jewelry, watches and high-end furnishings. High-end retailers have reported blowout results. Nordstrom’s revenue in stores open at least one year jumped 16.8 percent last month. Saks’ surged 12.7 percent. McClaren Automotive has announced it will debut a $200,000 sports car in the U.S. next year. And business is picking up faster at high-end hotels than at mid-priced and budget hotels. Whether spending by the wealthy will cause the lesswell-off to spend freely, too, remains unclear. For now, though, many people have embraced a more frugal approach to spending. Or maybe they’ve just learned to go without. Jan Iris Smith, 57, and her husband of Cabin John, Md., put off furniture and clothing purchases after the stock market’s collapse in early 2009. “We were counting on our income from our investments,” said Smith, a psychotherapist whose husband is retired. “We just stopped pretending everything was going to be OK anytime soon.”

mist at Thredgold Economic Associates, predicts “less impress-my-neighbor-type spending” in coming years. Count Keith Flowers of Manassas, Va., in that category. He’s decided that the hit he took in the housing slump requires him to continue to rein in spending. He’s cut off his landline phone and has become a regular at discount retailer Costco. He isn’t worried about losing his job in business development at an information technology company. What’s led him to cut back spending is the sunken value of his condominium. He bought it in 2005 for about $270,000. Rajeev Dhawan, director of Georgia State University’s Economic Forecasting Center, says: “I think the chances of us being big spenders in the next 10 years are pretty low.” So much household wealth was inflated by the housing boom, Dhawan said, that the real estate bust spooked consumers. States hardest hit by the bust — California, Nevada, Florida and Arizona — together account for about 30 percent of national economic activity, he noted. Household net worth — the value of assets like homes, checking accounts and investments minus debts like mortgages and credit cards — has risen for three straight quarters. But economists say consumers would need a stronger and prolonged increase in wealth to lead them to ratchet up spending. Net worth would have to rise an additional 21 percent just to get back to its pre-recession peak of $65.9 trillion. Some economists put their hopes for the economy in the rich, who are spending more freely than the rest of the population. They hold out hope that this will encourage more hiring and stimulate spending by the less wealthy. More spending could increase companies’ revenue, which allow them to boost hiring and pay. And that would lead their employees to spend more. Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. returned to a first-quarter profit as more travelers vacationed on its ships and spent

shopping again with abandon for clothes, cars and home additions. They’ve discovered the peace of mind that comes with rebuilding savings, shopping more prudently and learning to live with less. At their nerve-racked peak last year, Americans socked away 6.4 percent of their disposable income. That compared with less than 1 percent hit at one point during the prerecession boom. The savings rate has since dropped to 3.1 percent. Yet few expect it to approach the near-zero savings rate that would signal high-octane spending has roared back. Susan Wilson, 55, a freelance PR specialist in Scottsdale, Ariz., says her business is picking up. But her spending isn’t. Wilson still feels burned by the recession, when she lost her home to foreclosure. “Shame on me,” she said. “I wasn’t paying enough attention to my financial health. That will never happen again.” Wilson is renting now. She traded in her leased car for a used car she could buy outright. She’s started growing her own vegetables and airdrying her laundry to save money and stay out of debt. She’s looking to buy a home, but not one with an outsize mortgage. “I’m looking for pretty much the smallest house I can live in,” she said. Interviews with ordinary Americans suggest a new frugality endures even though consumer spending has risen for five straight months and retail sales for three. In the AP’s new quarterly survey, a majority of economists agreed that a new frugality will persist even as the recovery gains firmer footing. “I would call it a ‘mini age of austerity,”’ said Sean Snaith, an economics professor at the University of Central Florida. “Consumers will not run up multiple credit cards to their limits, and when buying a house the objective will not be to get the maximum square footage for which they can afford the payment. A higher savings rate will be in place for several years.” Jeff Thredgold, an econo-

Even as the economic recovery plods ahead, many American consumers are refusing to come along. They’re not spending freely — and they have no plans to. Many of them have steady income. They aren’t saddled by high debts. They don’t fear losing their jobs. Yet despite recent gains, they’ve lost so much household wealth that they’re far more cautious about spending than before the recession. Their behavior suggests that the Great Recession may have bred a new frugality that will endure well into the recovery. And because consumers fuel about 70 percent of the economy, their tightfisted habits means the rebound could stay unusually sluggish. That’s the picture that emerges from an Associated Press survey of leading economists and interviews with more than two dozen ordinary Americans. The new AP Economy Survey asked 44 leading economists whether the recession created a “new frugality” among consumers that will outlive the recession. Twothirds said yes. They had in mind people like Marjorie Feldman of suburban St. Louis, who retired three years ago as a systems analyst for a utility company. The stock investments in her retirement account have sunk 15 percent from 2007. The value of her home is down 20 percent. “I had retired assuming I’d make money” off the investments, said Feldman, who’s in her early 60’s. “I just don’t feel as confident in the economy, and I never will again. I won’t spend money the way I used to.” Feldman’s husband works full time in academia. She has a part-time job preparing tax returns at H&R Block. But her prime earning years are behind her. “I don’t think it will ever get back to where it was before,” she said of her nest egg. “I won’t spend money the way I used to.” Scott Hoyt, senior director of consumer economics at Moody’s Economy.com, notes that baby boomers, in particular, enjoyed spending sprees for most of their adult lives as their assets steadily grow. “But the recession changed that,” Hoyt said. “Many have retirement and children’s education looming. All of a sudden, they see their balance sheets decline in a way they’ve never seen before.” To be sure, many shoppers, especially the wealthy, are buying into the recovery. Partly on the strength of consumer spending, the economy emerged from recession last year and has been growing steadily, if moderately, since. Major retailers logged solid sales in March. Employers have begun to add jobs, including a net increase of 162,000 in March. The stock market has risen 70 percent from its low in March 2009. Yet many who became penny-pinchers during the recession are in no mood to start

The stock drop was a reminder that it doesn’t take much to rattle investors who are on alert for anything that could disrupt the economic recovery.

most drops are likely to be mild because buyers have been using pullbacks as opportunities to buy. Tuesday’s slump marked the fifth time in six days that the Dow rose or fell by triple digits. The market’s moves are reminiscent of the fearsome swings in the fall of 2008 and early 2009 when investors were panicked over how bad the recession would get. Scott Fullman, director of derivatives investment strategy for WJB Capital Group in New York, said sudden turns in the market are to be expected as traders wrestle with concerns that stocks are overheated.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks plunged around the world Tuesday as fears spread that Europe’s attempt to contain Greece’s debt crisis would fail. The euro fell to its lowest point against the dollar in a year. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 225 points, its biggest drop in three months. The slide erased a 143-point gain from Monday. The Dow and broader indexes each fell more than 2 percent. Meanwhile, Treasury prices rose on increased demand for safe investments. Stocks have seesawed in the past week as European countries’ efforts to agree on a bailout package for Greece proceeded in fits and starts. An agreement finally came together over the weekend, but its ballooning size of $144 billion has investors worried that Europe would have an even tougher time assembling an aid package if a larger country such as Spain or Portugal were to get in trouble. Traders are concerned that problems in Greece and other countries could spill over to the rest of Europe and in turn, the U.S. The market’s plunge wasn’t a surprise to some analysts who have warned for weeks

WILMINGTON (AP) — Health officials are refreshing the radiation-fighting pills for residents in two North Carolina counties living near a nuclear power plant. The StarNews of Wilmington reported Monday a new batch of potassium iodide pills will be offered this month to residents within 10 miles of the Brunswick nuclear plant. They are to replace tablets distributed in 2003. Health officials in Brunswick and New Hanover counties will give away two pills for each person. People can pick up the pills for other family members or neighbors. Potassium iodide can reduce the risk of thyroid cancer from radiation exposure. The pills will be distributed at community centers and city halls in the area.

WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — A hearing has started in Winston-Salem to determine if a North Carolina man who killed four people and injured five others during a shooting spree in 1988 can be released from a state psychiatric hospital. The Winston-Salem Journal reported the hearing for Michael Hayes began Monday and was expected to conclude Tuesday. Superior Court Judge Steve Balog could rule immediately or decide later. Hayes has been treated for mental illness at Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh since 1989, when a jury found him not guilty by reason of insanity. He can now spend much of his time away from the hospital, including working and making unsupervised visits with his girlfriend and their two children.

RALEIGH (AP) — New technology, more focus on young children and dismissing employees at chronically bad schools are some of the strategies officials hope will appease a North Carolina judge charged with ensuring school districts meet minimum state standards. Superior Court Judge Howard Manning called officials from Guilford, Forsyth and Durham counties to a hearing in Raleigh on Tuesday. Manning says test scores show thousands of students are being badly served by the schools in those counties, which include the cities of Durham, Winston-Salem and Greensboro. Manning wants to know whether the counties can fix the problems on their own, without requiring more state oversight. Forsyth County Schools Superintendent Donald Martin says the system there is improving its screening process for new teachers and looking to recruit educators with proven records of success. Guilford superintendent Maurice Green says he’s holding employees responsible for students’ poor performance. Every employee at Oak Hill Elementary School in High Point was recently dismissed after the school repeatedly failed to meet expectations. Manning says the plans he’s heard so far are good starts, but more work needs to be done.

WILMINGTON (AP) — A Wilmington businessman pleaded guilty Tuesday to violating three misdemeanor campaign donations laws when he funneled money to North Carolina’s governor and two state senators. New Hanover County District Court Judge John J. Carroll accepted the guilty plea from Rusty Carter, the owner of the Atlantic Corp. packaging company. Carter was fined $5,000 and sentenced to two years of unsupervised probation. The fine was paid to the New Hanover County Schools. Carter was charged with making illegal campaign contributions to Gov. Beverly Perdue, Senate leader Marc Basnight and Sen. Julia Boseman. Dressed in a dark suit and Carolina blue tie, Carter did not speak during the hearing except to answer the judge’s questions. He didn’t speak to reporters after the hearing. The state’s Board of Elections investigated Carter and his employees after he contacted them in March when questions were raised about contributions to Perdue, Basnight and Boseman. According to Tom Old, an assistant district attorney in New Hanover County, more than a dozen employees at Carter’s company contributed more than $175,000 to the three campaigns since 2003. Carter’s lawyers said the employees were given a bonus knowing that some of it would be contributed to political campaigns. State law caps individual campaign contributions at $4,000 and businesses cannot contribute directly or indirectly to a candidate. Old said the campaigns were not aware of the violations when they accepted the contributions.

Rescuers pray for no more victims in Tenn. floods tel, the arena where the Nashville Predators NHL team plays and honky-tonks in the country music tourism district. Parker said the power in that district would be out the rest of the week. “It will be Friday at the earliest,” she said, “depending on how fast the water level falls.” In one neighborhood west of downtown, residents scoured through debris, trying to determine how much they’ve lost. Luke Oakman finally got a look at the room he and his wife designed for their 11month-old daughter after the family fled their home on Sunday. It was ruined. Baby toys and books sat on a mud-coated floor and a wooden bed leaned back against a wall. A rocking chair was propped up by the child’s dresser that had been knocked over. “I broke down when I saw that,” the 32-year-old lab worker said. Damage estimates range into the tens of millions of dollars. Gov. Phil Bredesen declared 52 of Tennessee’s 95 counties disaster areas after finishing an aerial tour from Nashville to western Tennessee during which he saw flooding so extensive that treetops looked like islands. The flooding also prompted election officials to delay Nashville’s local primary, which had been set for Tuesday. The Cumberland topped out around 6 p.m. Monday at 51.9 feet, about 12 feet above flood stage — the highest it’s reached since 1937. It began to recede just in time to spare the city’s only remaining water treatment plant. The severity of the storms had caught everyone off guard. More than 13.5 inches of rainfall were recorded Saturday and Sunday, according to the National Weather Service, making for a new two-day record that doubled the previous mark. The water swelled most of the area’s lakes, minor rivers, creeks, streams and drainage systems far beyond capacity. It flowed with such force that bridges were washed out and thousands of homes were damaged. Much of that water then drained into the Cumberland, which snakes through Nashville. The weekend storms also

killed six people in Mississippi and four in Kentucky, including one man whose truck ran off the road and into a flooded creek. One person was killed by a tornado in western Tennessee. About 30 National Guard troops assisted local authorities in south central Kentucky on Tuesday, where flooding washed out roads and bridges and shuttered post offices, schools and government buildings. “It’s serious out there still,” said Mark Marraccini, spokesman for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife. “These waters are very dangerous.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The dark waters of the Cumberland River slowly started to ebb Tuesday as residents who frantically fled the deadly flash floods returned home to find mudcaked floors and soggy furniture. Rescuers prayed they would not find more bodies as the floodwaters receded. The river and its tributaries had flooded parts of middle Tennessee after a record-breaking weekend storm dumped more than a foot of rain in two days, rapidly spilling water into homes, roads and some of Music City’s best-known attractions. At least 28 people were killed in Tennessee, Mississippi and Kentucky by either floodwaters or tornadoes. Water submerged parts the Grand Ole Opry House, considered by many to be the heart of country music, and the nearby Opryland Hotel could be closed for up to six months. The flash flooding caught many here by surprise, and efforts to warn residents to not drive on flooded streets were hampered by power outages. As the water began to recede, bodies were recovered late Monday from homes, a yard and a wooded area outside a Nashville supermarket. By Tuesday, the flash floods were blamed in the deaths of 17 people in Tennessee alone, including nine in Nashville. Authorities initially said 10 people were killed by floods in Nashville, but on Tuesday, they said one of those people died of natural causes. Hundreds of people had been rescued by boat and canoe from their flooded homes over the past few days. Those rescue operations were winding down in Nashville on Tuesday, though emergency management officials were checking a report of a house floating in a northern neighborhood, trying to determine if anyone was in it. It remained unclear how many — if any — people were missing in Tennessee. Authorities in south central Kentucky searched Tuesday for a kayaker who was last seen Monday afternoon in the swollen Green River. “Those in houses that have been flooded and some of those more remote areas, do we suspect we will find more people? Probably so,” Nashville Deputy Fire Chief Kim Lawson said. “We certainly hope that it’s not a large number.” The Cumberland River also deluged some of Nashville’s most important revenue sources: the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Convention Center, whose 1,500 guests were whisked to a shelter, the adjacent Opry Mills Mall, and the Grand Ole Opry House. Parts of the hotel remained flooded on Tuesday, and officials estimated it could stay closed for three to six months with more than $75 million in damage. At the Grand Ole Opry, which is moving its shows to alternate concert halls, water reached the stage and the first floor of the Minnie Pearl building was flooded over the doors, said customer service representative Rita Helms. The Acuff Theater had four floors flooded, and the Gaslight Theater also was under water, she said. Floodwaters also edged into the Country Music Hall of Fame and LP Field where the Tennessee Titans play, though the Ryman Auditorium — the longtime former home of the Grand Ole Opry — appeared to be OK. It was not immediately known how much damage the Hall of Fame or LP Field received, though the Titans’ logo, which had been submerged by floodwaters on Monday, was once again visible on the stadium’s field Tuesday. Businesses along Nashville’s riverfront lost electricity early Tuesday, and restaurants and bars clustered on a downtown street popular with tourists were closed. Laurie Parker, a spokeswoman for Nashville Electric Service, said a main circuit failed before dawn, knocking out power to downtown businesses in a 24-square-block area, including the 33-story AT&T Building, a Hilton ho-

Unconfirmed report says oil washing ashore on La. island MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — An executive with BP PLC is saying there has been an unconfirmed report of oil washing ashore on a small Louisiana island. BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles said at a news conference Tuesday that more than 20 boats have been dispatched to Chandeleur Island to look for the oil, but so far haven’t been able to find it. The Associated Press reported Thursday that the oil washed ashore at the mouth of the Mississippi River along the Louisiana coast. Officials are saying the weather has improved significantly in the Gulf, allowing crews to lay more containment equipment as well as repair the booms that were damaged in rough weather. Officials say they also hope to be able to again burn some of the oil offshore now that the winds have eased.
Smoking bag removed from flight HOUSTON (AP) — A ruptured, smoking suitcase removed from an arriving international flight is being examined by fire crews and bomb specialists at Houston’s busiest airport.

The handler carried the bag away from the plane and called emergency crews. Williams says bomb crews hit the package with a water gun and still were examining the package late Tuesday afternoon. Williams says there was no explosion and no injuries
Ash deals ‘summer of uncertainty’ to European travelers DUBLIN (AP) — Iceland’s clouds of volcanic ash are menacing European air traffic again, but transport chiefs insisted Tuesday they are learning from last month’s crisis and won’t let the hard-to-measure emissions ground their continent again. Rising volcanic activity spurred aviation authorities in Ireland, northwest Scotland and the Faeroe Islands to shut down services Tues-
day after a two-week hiatus. Their airports reopened several hours later, once the densest ash clouds had passed over their airports and back over the Atlantic. But soon a new wave of engine-damaging ash was approaching British airspace, forcing Britain’s Civil Aviation Authority to announce that airports in Scotland and Northern Ireland had to cancel all services indefinitely, beginning at 7 a.m. Wednesday. The British authority said its forecasters had determined that ash in United Kingdom airspace “has increased in density.” It said the prevailing winds would probably continue to push the threat southward, “potentially affecting airports in the northwest of England and North Wales tomorrow” — but missing the key European air hubs in London. Earlier, travelers and transport chiefs alike said Europe was learning to pinpoint the true nature of the threat versus last month’s better-safe-than-sorry shutdown of air services for nearly a week in several countries. Airline and airport authorities branded that response overkill; it grounded 100,000 flights and 10 million passengers and cost the industry billions.
Mummified baby corpse missing from N.H. grave site CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The mummified body of a baby, kept by a family for nearly a century before a judge ordered the remains to be buried, has been removed from a cemetery, police said Tuesday. A cemetery visitor on Monday reported that a grave appeared to have been unearthed, police Sgt. John Thomas said. The corpse of “Baby John” has not been recovered, he said. The mummified body had been kept for years by Charles Peavey. He had said the family had the mummy, possibly the stillborn son of a great-great-uncle, for 80 to 90 years and considered it a family heirloom. Police learned of it in 2006 after Peavey’s then-4year-old niece mentioned it at her day care center. Authorities took the 18-inch mummy in for testing, and Peavey went to probate court to get custody of it. The tests concluded the baby died of natural causes shortly after his birth and confirmed the remains were decades old, but did not determine the age or origin. DNA testing failed to prove the boy was related to Peavey, and so a probate judge ordered the remains buried.
U.S. stomach cancer rates rise in young, white adults CHICAGO (AP) — Scientists are puzzling over a surprising increase in stomach cancer in young white adults, while rates in all other American adults have declined. Chances for developing stomach cancer are still very low in young adults but the incidence among 25 to 39 year old whites nonetheless climbed by almost 70 percent in the past three decades, a study found. National Cancer Institute researchers and colleagues examined new cases from 1977 to 2006 of cancer in the lower stomach, which can be caused by chronic infection with a common bacteria called H. pylori. It also causes stomach ulcers. Overall, there were 39,003 cases detected in a surveillance program that covers about one-fourth of the U.S. population. These included only 734 white young adults, but their incidence rate climbed from .54 per 200,000 to about 1 per 200,000. Among white adults aged 25 to age 84, the rate declined from almost 12 per 200,000 to 8 per 200,000; among black adults it declined from about 27 per 200,000 to 19 per 200,000.
Cornell University releases 2 new apple varieties GENEVA, N.Y. (AP) — Move over Honeycrisp, there’s a new apple in the basket. Cornell University has licensed a new industry group, New York State Apple Growers, to grow and market two new, patented apple varieties developed by Susan Brown at Cornell’s Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva. The varieties, under development for 14 years, are Cornell’s 65th and 66th apple releases. One recalls the juicy snap of its Honeycrisp parent, but the trees produce more reliably and the fruit stores well. The second is suited for baking or fresh use and has a higher level of vitamin C. Their formal names will be announced in the fall. The new agreement is a first for Cornell’s applebreeding program and will speed commercialization while bringing royalty income to Cornell.
Woman in Target stabbing lost custody of child LOS ANGELES (AP) — A brother of the woman who allegedly stabbed four people in a Target store says she started to deteriorate emotionally after she lost custody of her child. Tim Helton, a half brother of Layla Trawick, who authorities say carried out the attack, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that she had gotten a divorce about five years ago and lost custody of her son soon after. Helton says he lost contact with Trawick about two years ago and her mental health seemed to be deteriorating. Helton says his sister is a generous person with a docile nature. He says for her to have stabbed anyone would have been completely out of character. Investigators are reviewing videotape of Monday’s attack in the West Hollywood store. Trawick was arrested by an off-duty deputy
Man dies in accident at W.Va. coal plant CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A 74-year-old man has died after being struck in the head with a hook that snapped loose from a tow chain at a West Virginia coal processing plant. Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration spokeswoman Amy Louviere said the accident happened Tuesday morning at the Adrian Prep Plant in the western part of the state. She said the victim worked for a company that had bought equipment used at the idled plant and had come to collect it. The victim was helping workers use a bulldozer to pull an excavator away from a pond. The hook broke off from the blade of the dozer and hit the victim, who was standing nearby. The man’s name hasn’t been released. Working numbers couldn’t be found for the plant operator or owner. Louviere didn’t have the name of the company that bought the equipment.
Chance of oil drilling off Calif coast appears dim LOS ANGELES (AP) — Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s decision to pull support for a proposal to expand oil drilling off the coast of Santa Barbara County effectively killed any short-term prospects for the project.

Democrats agree to jettison $50 billion fund WASHINGTON (AP) — In a concession, Senate Democrats agreed Tuesday to jettison a $50 billion fund that Republicans attacked
repeatedly as a perpetual Wall Street bailout-in-waiting, according to officials in both parties, clearing one of the key obstacles to approval of tougher federal controls over the financial industry. While a formal announcement was held up pending a review by key lawmakers and the Obama administration, the emerging agreement was designed to assure that any future taxpayer costs arising from the liquidation of big firms in the future would be temporary and on a case-by-case basis. The agreement marked a retreat by Democrats, who had protested bitterly in recent days that Republicans were inaccurate with claims that the multi-billion-dollar
fund would serve as a source for future bailouts. President Barack Obama has made an election-year priority of congressional passage of legislation to prevent future economic calamities like the one that plunged the country into a deep recession 18 months ago. Opinion polls suggest strong support for additional federal regulations, even though numerous surveys also report high levels of public distrust of government’s abilities to solve problems. Obama, speaking to a business organization, said there would be “legitimate differences on the details of what is a complicated piece of legislation” in the coming days.

NEW YORK (AP) — A Pakistani-born U.S. citizen was charged Tuesday with terrorism and attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction in the botched Times Square bombing. The government said he confessed to receiving explosives training in Pakistan. Faisal Shahzad — the son of an air force officer in a wealthy Pakistani family — was arrested Monday night, pulled off a plane that was about to fly to the Middle East. According to the complaint, Shahzad confessed to buying an SUV, rigging it with a homemade bomb and driving it Saturday night into Times Square, where he tried to detonate it. In Pakistan, intelligence officials said several people had been detained in connection with the Times Square case. But a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation told The Associated Press the FBI is not aware of any arrests in Pakistan related to the case. Shahzad admitted to receiving bomb-making training in Waziristan, the lawless tribal region where the Pakistani Taliban operates with near impunity, but there is no mention of al-Qaida in the complaint filed in Manhattan federal court. The complaint said he returned from Pakistan in February, telling an immigration agent that he had been visiting his parents for five months and had left his wife behind.

EPA proposes coal ash rule, sets time for comment cial waste” classification within the hazardous waste regulations, “to help remove the stigma that some believe attaches when a waste is called hazardous.” An EPA statement said one proposed option would have EPA enforce compliance with waste management and disposal and the other would set performance guidelines to be “enforced primarily through citizen suits.” The statement said either proposal will “ensure for the first time that protective controls, such as liners and groundwater monitoring, are in place at new landfills to protect groundwater and human health. Existing surface impoundments will also require liners, with strong incentives to close the impoundments and transition to safer landfills, which store coal ash in dry form.” Jackson said EPA would hold hearings and seek public comment for 90 days but gave no timetable for a decision. TVA is in the midst of a projected $1.2 billion cleanup of a total of 5.4 million cubic yards of ash that breached an earthen dike and spilled into and around the Emory River in Decem-
ber 2008, a disaster that Jackson said brought such impoundments and their potential dangers to national attention. Barbara Martocci, a spokeswoman for the nation’s largest public utility, said EPA’s proposed regulations were being reviewed. She said TVA last year announced plans to convert wet ash impoundment to dry and to only use facilities with liners and systems to collect drainage. TVA has been sending dredged coal ash from the spill to an Alabama landfill that has a liner and collects any drainage before hauling some of it in tanker trucks to wastewater treatment facilities. Martocci said she could not comment about any prospective impact on TVA’s long-term cost of cleaning up its ash spill. Matt Landon of United Mountain Defense, said in an e-mail statement that coal ash will always pose a risk to human and environmental health because of unsafe levels of heavy metals. “EPA should stop ignoring the impacts to air quality from toxic coal fly ash and should classify it as a hazardous waste based on its
heavy metal content and particle size,” Landon said. “It is ridiculous that EPA is proposing new regulations of toxic coal fly ash that would only be enforced through citizen suits which puts an unfair burden on coal impacted communities to force the federal government to do its job.” Federal damage lawsuits related to the spill have been filed, but a judge has ruled that TVA is not liable for punitive damages. Speakers at a Tuesday conference of dam safety experts in Charleston, W.Va., had cautioned in advance of EPA’s announcement that regulating the ash as a hazardous waste would be the more daunting scenario for utilities and other industry stakeholders. Neil Davies, an engineer with Geosyntec Consultants who led the conference discussion, said after EPA outlined its proposal that either version would spell the end for pond-like impoundments and wet storage methods. “You’d have to remove the material, line it and then put it back,” Davies said. Davies and William Walton, another conference speaker, also called key the EPA’s decision to allow the
continued use of coal ash in concrete, wallboard and other products. “They’ve acknowledged that fly ash has a role in beneficial re-use,” said Walton, an engineer with the AECOM firm who has helped investigate the Kingston spill.
McDowell named AP assistant bureau chief in Ill., Ind. CHICAGO (AP) — Patrick McDowell, Asia-Pacific editor for The Associated Press, has been named assistant chief of bureau for Illinois and Indiana. The appointment was announced Tuesday by Kate Lee Butler, the AP’s vice president for U.S. Newspaper Markets. McDowell will report to Chief of Bureau George Garties and succeeds Dave Zelio, who last year was named sports editor for AP’s Central Region. McDowell has reported for the AP from Europe, Africa and Asia, and in his current position led awardwinning coverage of the 2004 Pacific Ocean tsunami and the 2008 cyclone that devastated Myanmar. He also was an architect of the AP’s expansion of its China opera-
tions in preparation for the 2008 Olympic Games, a major strategic initiative for the news cooperative. In March, McDowell earned a Master of Business Administration from the University of Chicago. “Patrick has served AP members admirably through his leadership overseas, and will put a strong mix of news and business skills to work for members and customers in Illinois and Indiana,” Butler said. McDowell, 51, joined the AP in Paris in 1989, reporting from France, North Africa, the Middle East, Rwanda and Haiti. He was named correspondent in South Africa in 1995 and promoted to news editor in Bangkok a year later. He transferred to Kuala Lumpur in 2000 as chief of bureau for Malaysia, in charge of news and sales. In 2004, he was promoted to Asia-Pacific editor, directing AP’s news operations across Asia. A native of Petaluma, Calif., McDowell earned a bachelor’s degree in English from the University of the Pacific and a master’s degree in international journalism from the City University, London

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday proposed regulating coal ash, possibly as a kind of hazardous waste, while phasing out wet storage impoundments. It would allow coal byproducts to be used in concrete, wallboard and other building materials. EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said one proposed option would regulate the ash and its disposal as “special waste” under the hazardous waste section of the federal Resource Recovery and Conservation Act. The other would regulate it in the non-hazardous waste section of the law. Jackson said power plant coal ash, which contains arsenic, cadmium, chromium, mercury, selenium and other substances defined as hazardous, has never before been regulated federally. “Both proposals reflect a major step forward,” she told reporters in a telephone conference call. The announcement came 16 months after a huge coal ash spill at the Tennessee Valley Authority’s Kingston Plant west of Knoxville. An EPA e-mail sent after Jackson’s comments said the agency was creating a “spe-

Wednesday, May 5 Provided you don’t take on more than you can handle, your chances for success in the year ahead look better than usual. You can achieve whatever it is that you want if you do things one at a time and never get overloaded. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — If you walk around with a chip on your shoulder today, it won’t take much to get someone to knock it off. Remember, temperament sets the tone that others will respond to. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Giving someone a piece of your mind will give you momentary appeasement. However, it won’t take long before the damage you incur will have to be addressed. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Some days are worse than others, and today you’ll need to be doubly careful about protecting your prized possessions. Don’t leave anything lying around tempting others to be dishonest. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Independence can be an admirable quality, but not when it is carried to extremes. It could cause you to be overly insistent about having your way, resulting in all kinds of hostile responses. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — There are two conditions that could negatively affect your work today. The first one is concentrating on the clock instead of your duties, and the second one is not watching what you’re doing at all. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you find yourself at odds with a friend and do not let the issue drop, it is likely to develop into something far greater than either intended. Be the bigger person and let him/her have the last word. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Do whatever you can to put a stop to any disturbing influence that disrupts the tranquility of the household, even if this means barring the door to a troublemaker. Saguttarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Watch your tongue, so that you don’t say anything that could put you on a collision course with another. When up against a strongly opinionated person, simply close your mouth. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Clear up all old obligations before assuming any new ones. If you monitor your resources realistically, you should be able to keep your budget intact and very healthy Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — The company you keep could be responsible for you having either a peaceful or strife-ridden day. Don’t let the behavior of another cause you to speak out in a manner that would tarnish your image. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20 — Be time-conscious and try to maintain a sensible schedule, because if you leave important tasks until the last minute, your nervous system could have quite a breakdown. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Everything might look good, but nevertheless still guard against inclinations to take risks. The odds can stack up against you before you know it.

Physician won’t admit patients to hospital Dear Dr. Gott: I am confused about the meaning of my doctor’s announcement that the family practice center I frequent will no longer admit patients to the hospital. The announcement went on to say there will be no effects on patients and that they are DR. PETER investigating the need to GOTT increase their clinic hours in order to provide patients more access to the clinic. When I asked my doctor about it, she said that it is becoming common practice around the country. I can accept that my own doctor won’t be coming to the hospital to check on me and will only receive reports from the specialists at the hospital. If I have to go to the ER and don’t have a doctor with a relationship to the hospital, will I be treated differently? My family practice once had four doctors. Owing to re-
tirement and other things, they are down to one doctor and two physician assistants. I don’t know what a PA’s qualifications are, but apparently they aren’t allowed to admit patients. I live in a small city that is running out of doctors. Should I try to find one that admits patients to the hospital, or does it not make any difference? In one year, I will be on Medicare and won’t be able to find a new doctor then because nobody in town is accepting new patients if they are on Medicare. Also, if my current doctor leaves the clinic, is a PA an adequate replacement? Dear Reader: Unfortunately, this is becoming common practice. Doctors awaken early, make hospital rounds (sometimes even before going to the office), see a full slate of patients, order testing and follow-up, and often get called to the hospital because a patient requires hands-on care midday regardless of the physician having to leave a waiting
room full of patients. Then there are the nursing-home patients who are seen according to a specific schedule unless a medical emergency requires immediate attention. Then they can go home for dinner at the end of a very long day. He or she then could be “on call” for patients who might require hospital admission after hours, on weekends or on holidays. Sometimes physicians cross-cover for one another, so they are on call for a day or so covering for several physicians, but then have a day or two off from admissions only. To provide an example, I still remember one Christmas a few years ago when I covered for several physicians and had 26 patients in the hospital. It goes without saying I had no intention of eating dinner with my family. Things may not be as dramatic now as they were then, but you get the idea. Today, many hospitals — even those in smaller communities — hire hospitalists to fill the gap. These people are hospital-based and ex-
tremely qualified. While they may not know you personally, they certainly take the pressure off difficult situations. Now on to the PA issue. A PA is a licensed healthcare professional. He or she works under the direction of a physician, and is certified, state licensed and can diagnose, order and interpret testing, prescribe medications, and assist in other areas. Also, when issues arise that a PA might question, the physician is called in to review and direct the situation. Acceptable practices vary according to training, experience and state law. I can’t speak highly enough of the PAs I have had the pleasure to work with. More and more offices are using them to ease the burden of a busy practice. 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.”
TV producer sentenced in Letterman blackmail plot NEW YORK (AP) — The former CBS television producer who tried to shake down David Letterman over the comic icon’s office affairs started a six-month jail sentence Tuesday, closing a case that opened Letterman’s behind-the-scenes behavior to public scrutiny. Carrying a Bible to a court date he knew would end in
time behind bars, Robert “Joe” Halderman declined to speak before he was led from a Manhattan court in handcuffs to begin his jail term, to be followed by 1,000 hours of community service. He agreed to both when he pleaded guilty in March to attempted grand larceny. Letterman wasn’t on hand for Halderman’s sentencing
Tuesday, and a spokesman for him declined to comment afterward. But throughout the six-month saga, Letterman made himself a presence in the case, if not the courtroom. He revealed the blackmail plot before prosecutors unveiled the case. He dispatched his lawyers to many of Halderman’s court appearances with statements in
hand for the press, and Letterman himself commented during a TV appearance last week on the toll the disclosures had taken on his personal life. Halderman, 52, admitted in March that he demanded $2 million in hush money last fall to keep from revealing personal information about Letterman.
One deduction leads to another Albert Einstein said, “The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypotheses or axioms.” The aim in a bridge grand is to use logical deduction to win all of the tricks with the smallest number of risks. How should South play in seven spades after West leads the heart king? Many of us would open that North hand with one diamond. Having passed, though, he described his hand well on the second round with a passedhand jump-shift. Three diamonds was fit-showing, promising at least four-card spade support, five-plus respectable diamonds and a maximum pass. South might have leapt straight to seven spades because real bridge players do not need Blackwood. But he decided to check that partner had the diamond ace. (If North
had shown one ace, South was going to assume it was in diamonds.) South could have impulsively discarded his club loser on dummy’s ace. However, before leaping, declarer deduced the danger — a 4-0 diamond break. He had two other choices at trick one. He could discard a diamond on the heart ace. Then he could establish a long diamond for a club discard. Or, the line that I prefer, he could play low from the dummy and ruff in hand, draw trumps, and start on diamonds. When South sees the 4-0 split, he will understand the necessity for a diamond discard on the heart ace. Note that pitching the club nine at trick one costs the contract.

TERMS OF SALE: Pursuant to the provisions of N.C.G.S. 45-21.10(b) and the terms of the Deed of Trust, any successful bidder may be required to deposit with the Trustee or Clerk of Superior Court immediately upon the conclusion of the sale a cash deposit to be determined by the greater of 5% of the bid or $750.00. Unless the Substitute Trustee agrees otherwise, the successful bidder will be required to tender the "full purchase price" so bid in cash or certified check at the time the Trustee tenders to him a Deed to the property or attempts to tender such Deed, and should the successful bidder fail to pay the full amount, then the successful bidder shall remain liable as provided for in N.C.G.S. 45-21.30.

If the trustee is unable to convey title to this property for any reason such as a bankruptcy filing, the sole remedy of the successful bidder is the return of the deposit. As to any manufactured home, the following shall apply: Any not considered real property is being foreclosed pursuant to N.C.G.S. 25-9-604, if necessary; there is no warranty that any is actually located on the subject tract; and there is no warranty given by the Substitute Trustee as to whether said home is real property or personal property.
