Service celebrates American values BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com

ALISBURY — Gathered near the foot of the historic Presbyterian bell tower downtown, about 30 people took time at noon Thursday to give thanks and pray for the nation. The National Day of Prayer service, organized by the Rowan Southern Baptist Association, is an event with years of history behind it. This year, the half-hour service touched on what religious leaders said the nation needs most: security, humility and a return to basic values. “We have a need to reflect on the heritage God has given us,” said pastor Mike Motley of Trading Ford Baptist Church. He spoke of America’s settlers and founders, who he said acknowledged God as a part of their nation and of their daily lives. “We’re still reaping the benefits,” Motley said. Participants sang “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Motley played the guitar and led the group in singing “God Bless North Main Baptist’s Dr. Dale Robertson, moderator of the Rowan Southern BapAmerica.” tist Association, prays for America.

Various leaders offer words of wisdom at Cabarrus breakfast BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com

CONCORD — At Great Wolf Lodge on a clear Thursday morning, more than 300 people took up a challenge: Turn off the cellphones, have a nourishing meal with fellowship and give thanks to God. The fifth annual National Day of Prayer Breakfast, sponsored by the Cannon Memorial YMCA, delivered praise songs and words of inspiration. Local pastors and leaders offered prayers for different parts of society and different walks of life: churches, families, elected leaders.

SALISBURY — Salisbury High School received the Exemplary School Award from the North Carolina Athletic Association on Thursday. The award recognizes the top overall school in the state in terms of the total program, including athletic success, scope of athletic opportunities offered, facilities, community interest and involvement and academics. Salisbury Principal EAGLE Dr. Windsor Eagle said the school averages about 134 scholar-athletes per year. Students must have at least a 3.5 GPA for the semester in which he or Romar Morris she competed in order to named N.C. be considered a scholar- Athlete of Year, 1B athlete by the state athletic association. “I keep preaching how important academics are,” Eagle said. “A lot of our kids want to go on and play at the next level, and they have to start early on this or they get too far behind.” Eagle said students also have to meet specific academic criteria in order to be able to play for the school.

SALISBURY — Authorities are warning the elderly to be wary of phone calls from people claiming to be relatives in trouble after one woman wired $1,800 to a man posing as her grandson. The man was not related to the woman. He was a scam artist. The woman received a phone call from a man who started the conversation by calling her “grandma” and said he was in jail in California and needed money to make bail. The woman sent $1,800 via MoneyGram to San Diego. She later discovered the money had been transferred to Canada. Mark Vanhoy Bennie M. Weeks Samuel E. Collins Jr.

In this scam, a caller says something like, “Grandma, I’m in trouble. Help.” That prompts the victim to say the name of the grandchild they believe to be on the telephone. The scammer then goes on information the victim provides. Investigators caution residents against wiring money to someone if they can’t verify the person’s identification. Rowan County Sheriff’s Capt. John Sifford said people should confirm with another family member or call that person to double check if the call is legitimate or a hoax. Sifford said people should be wary of the call “especially if it’s out of the character for this family member.”

VA to offer more in-home DUTIES care to post-9/11 veterans

Job descriptions for new assistant city managers

FROM 1a

SALISBURY — The Department of Veterans Affairs will begin providing additional support to eligible post-9/11 veterans who elect to receive their care in a home setting from a primary family caregiver under a law passed last year. “W.G. (Bill) Hefner VA Medical Center is ready, willing, and able to provide these well-deserved, enhanced services to caregivers of our veterans,” said Paul M. Russo, medical center director. “The new program builds on the foundation of caregiver support now provided at VA and reflects what families and clinicians have long known: that family caregivers in a home environment can enhance the health and well-being of veterans under VA care.” Additional services for primary family caregivers of eligible post9/11 veterans and service members include a stipend, mental health services and access to health care insurance if they are not already entitled to care or services under

a health care plan. Comprehensive Caregiver training and medical support are other key components of this program. Veterans and their family caregivers can apply for the new services starting May 9 at www. caregiver.va.gov. Debra Volkmer, LCSW, the Hefner VA Caregiver Support Coordinator, is also available to assist with the application process and direct veterans and their family caregivers to more than two dozen other programs VA offers family caregivers for support. “Thank you, family members, for your service to our veterans and your loved one. Now it is time to let us serve you,” said Volkmer. Assistance and information on additional resources are also available to Family Caregivers through VA’s National Caregiver Support Line, 1-877-222-VETS (8387). Veterans and Caregivers with questions about the new program can contact Volkmer at 704-638-9000, extension 4499.

Organizer Elizabeth Lindsey, executive director of the West Cabarrus branch of the

YMCA, said the event had exceeded expectations. “It was a blessing, everything we hoped for and a bit more,” she said. As the morning’s program drew to a close, master of ceremonies John Cox, president and CEO of the Cabarrus Regional Chamber of Commerce, issued one last challenge: He asked those who’d taken time to gather to keep their cellphones off for just a little longer and continue the spirit of fellowship they’d had at the start of the morning, and keep it throughout the day.

workload with the responsibility of Fibrant,” Kluttz said. “Our only criticism was that he works too much.” Fibrant is the city’s new telecommunications utility, which sells Internet, cable TV and phone service. Treme currently has 14 direct reports. Management literature suggests a city manager should have seven to 10. After the realignment, which should be complete by July 1, Treme will have 10 direct reports. The reorganization comes as Salisbury contends with the leanest budget in Treme’s 25-year tenure. City staff have worked to find ways to close a $2.7 million budget gap. The city also faces a $610,622 increase in mandated costs like insurance and retirement, as well as an 8 percent decrease in tax base due to revaluation. The city has eliminated 36 full-time positions, including four layoffs, and 26 employees took early retirement. To make the city more efficient, Treme said he is combining several city divisions, including consolidating the maintenance and landscaping operations and placing all facility management activities in one department. Development Services Division has been placed under Community Planning Services Department. Communications and marketing efforts have been consolidated, and the Public Works Department will take on storm water and traffic management. “In my opinion, this reorganization will result in better oversight of the city’s operations,” Treme said. It’s not unusual for a city to have more than one assistant city manager, he said. “It depends on what I think will work best for our city,” Treme said. “In my opinion and based on my experience, I feel good about this change.” Paris and Sofley are the two top graded positions in the city, Treme said. With the promotion, Sofley will earn a higher salary, Treme said. He hasn’t decided how much, he said.

Rowan County’s business show for 2011 was one of its biggest ever according to Chamber of Commerce members.

Business Show 2011 a sellout with 72 exhibitors BY ROBIN M. PERRY For the Salisbury Post

SALISBURY — It was advertised as Rowan County’s best and biggest business show of the year. That description fit well for the Rowan County Chamber of Commerce’s Business Show at the Event Center on Thursday. More than 70 exhibitors had the opportunity to “show their stuff” to the community, and the overall consensus was positive. The Chamber has been hosting these business shows for more than 10 years. Bob Wright, president, was pleased to have this year’s show completely sold out with 72 exhibitors. “We started at the Civic Center and when we outgrew that, we moved to the Holiday Inn,” he said. When space became tight there, they moved the venue to the Event Center. “This is the second year at the Event Center on Webb Road, and this year is bigger than ever,” said Wright. “The show is a benefit of member-

ship,” explains Wright, “as you must be a Chamber member to exhibit. This is our opportunity to promote Rowan County goods and services and keep the dollars in Rowan County.” According to Linda Sherrill, membership director of the Chamber, 22 exhibitors were new to the show. Many of them are new Chamber members also. Steve Reeder of Glass Direct appreciated the opportunity to exhibit his company, which makes and sells custom glass products. The business recently opened its first retail branch on Corporate Circle in Salisbury. The business show provided Reeder a great opportunity to showcase his retail sales. Glass Direct is a new chamber member, too. Like Reeder, Starling Johnson of Johnson Concrete Products was a first-time exhibitor. “We sell retail, too, and this show is a great opportunity for us to get our name, brand and products out to the public,” Johnson said. The company sells retaining walls, pavers and pottery in addition

Rowan Regional Medical Center, a major sponsor, had a booth with many items to take home, such as lip balm and health tips. Falon Nye, marketing and PR specialist, was meeting with people and sharing information about RRMC. “This is my first time at the show, and I think it is great,” she said. “I love the venue, the set up. It is all so very professional and everyone has brought their best,” she said. She said she appreciated the chance to speak to people personally and share valuable information. Dontea White had a booth for her company, Bright Star. It is new to Rowan County and

is a new Chamber member. “Bright Star is a life-care company that provides whatever is needed to sustain quality of life with skilled and companionship care in the home,” White explained. “They serve all ages with home health and companionship care in both Rowan and Iredell counties.” White said she was impressed with the show and how everyone was so friendly. Folks crowded around the Food Lion booth where they had a chance to win gift cards, logo items or Food Lion bags. “This is a good meet-andgreet with the public,” said Martha Bostian, community relations coordinator. She said she enjoyed meeting the public one-on-one.

SALISBURY — Months of investigating led authorities to arrest five people Wednesday in a prescription drug roundup throughout the county. The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office special investigations unit conducted an ongoing undercover operation involving people selling prescription medications. “This was an effort to target the ongoing prescription medication abuse and the individuals that make them so readily available,” a statment said. The operation involved undercover detectives who made purchases of various medications from individuals, including forms of hydrocodone and oxycontin, obtained legally and others illegally. Sheriff’s Capt. John Sifford said some of the medications were from legitimate prescriptions, the pills of which were then sold to others. Deputies made arrests Wednesday in homes around Rowan County. One of the subjects was already incarcerated in the N.C. Department of Correction and is scheduled to be charged on a later date. Deputies arrested the following: • Kimberly Joy Shelton, 35, of 1040 Flash Bullet Drive, Rockwell, with felony possession with intent to sell and deliver a schedule II controlled substance ( o x y codone), felony sell SHELTON and deliver a schedule II controlled substance, misdemeanor maintaining a vehicle to keep store and sell a controlled substance.

Kannapolis Village Festival begins today at 5 Celebrate National Train Day Saturday BY JOANIE MORRIS For the Salisbury Post

KANNAPOLIS — In the current economy, it’s hard to find things for the entire family to do for free. In downtown Kannapolis this weekend, you can. Beginning tonight at 5, the 32nd annual Village Festival will commence with Cooperative Christian Ministry and A.L. Brown High School’s Festival of the Arts held on West Avenue in the Village. The two-day event, organized by Cabarrus Events Association, is presented by Rowan Regional Medical Center. After the Festival of the Arts, Brian Free and the Assurance Band will perform, sponsored by Central Baptist Church and Ford Broadcasting, beginning at 7 p.m. Then Saturday beginning at 9 a.m., the festival continues with more bands, dance exhibitions and more. “One of our goals as the Cabarrus Events Association is to bring family friendly entertainment to our community that is free,” said Brenda Drye, executive director of the Cabarrus Events Association. There will be children’s inflatables, dance troupes and schools performing, a Zumba party and arts and crafts booth sponsored by West Point Baptist Church with some hands-on activities for children to take home. At 2 p.m. the Tsunami Wave Riders will perform, followed by the Tim Clark Band at 7 p.m.

Fireworks for those who want to wait will begin at 10 p.m. “We’re also doing a food and school supplies drive in conjunction with West Point Baptist Church,” said Drye. While it’s not required, event organizers are hoping festival attendants will bring food pantry items for the church’s food pantry and school supplies for their mission trip to West Virginia this summer. There will be plenty to spend money on too, if participants choose, said Drye. In addition to helicopter rides for $25 per rider and food vendors, participants can also purchase Mother’s Day gifts at one of the local arts and craft vendors or one of the stores remaining in the Village — keeping dollars local. Have a cool car? Enter it in the first-ever Kannapolis Cruise-In Car Show, held in conjunction with Village Fest. For $20, you can enter your car and receive a trophy. The car show will be held behind the Village on Oak Avenue. One thing missing from the festival this year will be hot air balloons. In the past years, the wind has been too strong for anyone to go up in the balloons, Drye said. So event planners decided to skip balloons this year. “Maybe we’ll get them back another year,” she said. For more information on the event, visit www.cabarrusevents.org.

SALISBURY — North Carolina’s Amtrak will celebrate National Train Day Saturday by holding open houses at train stations from Charlotte to Fayetteville, including Salisbury and Kannapolis. The event will raise awareness of North Carolina’s passenger rail service by encouraging people of all ages to visit their nearest train station for a day of train activities and trip planning information. “Saturday will be a great opportunity for folks to visit their local train stations and learn more about the benefits of traveling by train,” said Pat Simmons, rail director for the N.C. Department of Transportation. “Ridership is up more than 95 percent over last year. We hope that these events will encourage even more people to take advantage of this efficient and environmentally friendly option.” Prospective passengers

are encouraged to find out where their North Carolina trains can take them by visiting open houses at stations along the corridor including Raleigh, Durham, Burlington, Greensboro, High Point, Salisbury, Kannapolis, Charlotte, Selma, Wilson, Rocky Mount and Fayetteville. • Kannapolis Station, 201 S. Main St., 704-932-1591. Hours: 8 a.m.-3 p.m. • Salisbury Station, 215 Depot St., 704-638-4281.

Visitors at Burlington, High Point, Salisbury, Kannapolis, Charlotte and Selma will have refreshments, kids’ activities, train stories and songs and music, and they can register to win train tickets. Visit bytrain.org for a complete list of activities at these stations. North Carolina’s annual

National Train Day celebration is part of festivities going on across the country to raise awareness of the role rail plays in the nation’s transportation system. The May date was chosen to recognize the anniversary of the completion of the first transcontinental railroad at Promontory Summit, Utah, in 1869, which connected the east and west coast by rail for the first time. The Piedmont and Carolinian trains are sponsored by NCDOT and paid for through state funding, Amtrak and passenger fares. North Carolina’s Amtrak fleet of two trains provides daily service to Raleigh, Greensboro, Charlotte, nine other North Carolina cities, and to the Northeast. Complete schedule and train information is available at bytrain.org. Reservations are required. Travelers should book early for best fares.

The American Academy for Park and Recreation Administration, in partnership with the National Recreation and Park Association, has announced the finalists for the 2011 National Gold Medal Awards for Excellence in Park and Recreation Management. Salisbury Parks and Recreation is a finalist for a gold medal in Class IV, for cities with a population between 25,001 and 50,000 residents. N.C.

opment, professional development and agency recognition. Applications are separated into five classes based on population with a state park system class every other year, and agencies are judged on their ability to address the needs of those they serve through the collective energies of citizens, staff and elected officials. Four finalists in each class are chosen to compete for grand honors each year. This year’s finalists will compete for Grand Plaque Award honors this summer, and the six Grand Plaque recipients will be announced live during the National Recreation and Park Association’s Annual Congress & Exposition in Atlanta from Nov. 1 to Nov. 3.

He was born on Jan. 26, 1937, in Marion to the late William Clay Bates and the late Edna Mae Nunn Bates. Also preceding him in death were his younger brother, Jimmy Clay Bates of Kannapolis, and a sister, Arlene Foster. He is survived by a sister Phyllis Shive of Salisbury; his daughter, Deborah Holzendorf and her husband Bill of Salisbury; son William Ray Bates Jr. (Rocky) of Kannapolis; seven grandchildren, Lynn Johnson Hartness and husband Mike of Salisbury, Bobby Johnson and wife Belinda of China Grove, Erin Johnson Wolfe and husband Vic of Camden, Dela., Lauren Johnson Bergeson and husband Braydon of St. George, Utah, Wesley Johnson of China Grove, Kalei Bates Hill and husband Jimmy of Jacksonville, Fla., and Kegan and Stephanie Bates of Kannapolis; and six great-grandchildren, Keenan, Dylan and Makayla Johnson, Madalyn Hartness and Brooklyn and Ava Bergeson. “Bill,” as he was referred to, created a beautiful family and a wonderful life for himself during his 74 years on this earth. He served his country in the U.S. Army during the early years of 1960. After leaving the military, he returned to Kannapolis where he held many important positions in Cannon Mills. He then was self-employed in business and real estate and continued to manage multiple properties until his passing. He married Helen Ann Henry Bates Renegar and was married to her for 42 years. She continued to serve as his closest friend until the end. He worked tirelessly helping to develop and then coaching 15 years for the Kannapolis Little League, teaching young men to love the sport of baseball as he did. He was involved in community resources helping wherever he could. He was an active member of the Kannapolis Moose Lodge for more than 40 years and during that time he held many official positions. He enjoyed spending time there and creating close friends. He had an infectious laugh that could make anyone smile and laugh along with him. He was the type of man that you could ask any favor of and he would do whatever he could to lend a hand. He was a very generous man and willing to help anyone in need. He was known to many as “Daddy Bill.” Above all else he loved his family. He loved to take his family on vacations and always enjoyed having his grandchildren around him. His home and his family were his most important things, and he always had an open door. Bill will be remembered by all who knew him or knew of him. He had a special light about him that drew people to want to know him better. He was characterized by one of his nurses as “being bigger than life,” even in his last days.

Bennie M. Weeks KANNAPOLIS — Bennie M. Weeks, retired Master Sergeant, of Tuttlewood Drive, passed away after a short illness on May 3, 2011, at the Salisbury Veterans Home with his family at his side. Bennie was born in Benson on Oct. 26, 1919, to the late Willie G. and Florence S. Weeks. He was also preceded in death by his only brother, Robert Weeks. Surviving him are Beulah (Peggy), his wife of 70 years; and children Janis Weeks McCarter, Sandra Weeks Fogg (Melvin) and Anthony Weeks. He is also survived by five grandchildren (Mel, Missy, Courtney, Elliott and Whitney) and 10 great-grandchildren. He attended school in Rocky Mount and, with his parents, moved to Newport News, Va. Prior to World War II, he joined the National Guard in Newport News. At the onset of the war, he trained as a paratrooper in Ft. Benning and served primarily in the European theater. With the 504 PIR of the 82nd Airborne, he made three combat jumps (Sicily, Salerno and Holland), was one of Gen. Gavin's paratroopers who captured the Grave Bridge and Nijmegen Bridge (“A Bridge Too Far”) in Holland, and made one land assault in Anzio. He fought in the Battle of the Bulge and returned to the U.S. with the distinction of not missing a day of action with the 504. In 1956, Gen. James Gavin recommended that Sgt. Weeks be the first curator of the 82nd Museum in Fort Bragg to spearhead the building and the gathering and cataloging of 82nd military memorabilia. He traveled and met with military men and women of note, including World War I Sgt. Alvin C. York, to create displays that timelined the military history of the 82nd Airborne. After his retirement in 1963, Bennie worked until his next retirement with sheltered workshops, culminating his years with the development of Scottish Crafts in Laurinburg. Being the director gave him the opportunity to continue to use his creativity and people skills with both the community and adults with special needs. The family wishes to acknowledge the personal, palliative care extended to Bennie and his family during his stay by the entire staff at the Salisbury Veterans Home. Service: A memorial service will be held at Salisbury National Cemetery Friday, May 13 at 2 p.m. with full military honors. Memorials: In lieu of flowers, a memoriam may be sent to the 82d Airborne Division Museum, P.O. Box 70119, Fort Bragg, NC 28307-0119, in his honor. “Strike Hold!” Online condolences may be left at www.whitleysfuneralhome.com

Driver charged in collision of two trucks BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

SALISBURY — The drivers of two pickups involved in a Wednesday head-on collision on Organ Church Road remain in the hospital. One driver is being charged. Brian Kepley, 20, of Rockwell, the driver of a red 1990 Chevy S10, was traveling in the 1900 block of Organ Church Road when he ran off the right side of the road. He overcorrected and drove left of the center line, said Highway Patrol Trooper K.G. Barringer. Kepley was taken to Rowan

A passenger in Kepley’s truck, whose name was not available, was conscious at the scene but taken to the hospital. A white 2007 Chevy Colorado was driven by Sherri Richardson, 53, also of Rockwell. Richardson was driving a truck owned by Accu-Read, a company contracted by Duke Energy to read meters. She remained in the intensive care unit at CMC-NorthEast

A witness at the scene said he heard the crash, which happened in front of his house. Dennis Holshouser told a Post reporter that Kepley was disoriented and he told Richardson to sit still until help arrived. Kepley is charged with failing to maintain lane control. He told the trooper he’d had steering problems with the truck.

Cape Fear Botanical Garden

CARolyn GlAsGow/FoR the sAlisbuRy Post

Japanese maple at Cape Fear botanical Garden.

Just outside Fayetteville, plants and flowers impress BY CAROLYN GLASGOW Master Gardener Volunteer

ur state has a hidden gem. It is the Cape Fear Botanical Garden, 2 miles from downtown Fayetteville. The Garden is a 2½-hour drive from Salisbury and is well worth the trip. I recently toured the brand new Wyatt Visitors Pavilion Complex and gardens with my former college roommate. The weekday morning visit in April turned out to be an ideal time to see the azaleas beginning to bloom and the workmen busy constructing a new water feature and adjoining Butterfly Stroll. Dr. Bruce Williams, then director of horticulture at Fayetteville Technical Community College, Martha Duell, a community advocate, and garden columnist Roger Mercer conceived the idea for the gardens in 1988. In 1989, Mercer

used his columns in The Fayetteville Observer to introduce “a place that promised peace, tranquility, joy, and beauty plus income and recognition.” At the charter meeting, 125 people became Friends of the Cape Fear Botanical Garden and set out to raise funds and develop the gardens. In 1997, Fayetteville Public Works Commission created a “water-wise” themed garden on the property “to educate its customers on the financial, environmental and horticultural wisdom of reducing water use in the lawn and garden.” An 1886 farmhouse complex was donated to the garden and has been used for the offices and gift shop until this month upon the opening of the new Visitors Pavilion. The 33,000 square foot pavilion has areas for meetings, exhibits, classes and special events. It was designed to be LEED certified as a

“green building” by the U.S. Green Building Council. The Entry Pavilion has a large expanse of light-filtering glass walls and a fiberglass ceiling. There is a Café Cart and a delightfully stocked Garden Gift Shop. The gardens encompass 79 acres nestled between the Cape Fear River and Cross Creek. There are 2 miles of nature trails through the landscaped gardens and through pine and hardwood forests. The trails include a Laurel Loop Trail, Oak Loop Trail and River Trail with several overlooks on bluffs above the Cape Fear River. Most of the garden acres support indigenous plants, trees and wildlife. There are hosta, daylily, conifer, camellia, shade, heritage and rain specialty gardens. The Children’s Garden is soon to be expanded to include a belly-flop deck. There is a gazebo on the Great Lawn, designed for weddings or other festive events, or a place to

sit and relax while touring the gardens. More than 2,000 varieties of ornamental plants are showcased. Sculpture throughout the garden is fascinating and appropriate for the setting.

Once carpenter bees move in, it’s hard to get them out ALISBURY — The unusual weather this spring has many people asking questions about lawns, gardens and insect pests. Cooperative Extension has received many inquiries over the past few weeks that may be of interest. Q: I have carpenter bumble bees boring into my deck. They were here last DARRELL year. What BLACKWELDER can I do to control them? A: There is really no pesticide that will give extended protection against these pests. Once these insects take up residence, they return each year to extend their family. There are two major problems in dealing with carpenter bees — an effective chemical residue that endures throughout the entire period of bee activity and the ability to apply any pesticide to all of the surfaces that need protection, particularly overhead on soffit and fascia boards.

Take these steps to help keep home dry BY DWIGHT BARNETT Scripps Howard News Service

I have received a number of questions about flooding of crawlspace and basement foundations. Here are some suggestions to help prevent flooding in the future. As soon as the weather in your area permits, the crawlspace and basement foundation should be inspected for signs of flooding. Any water that has collected in the foundation should be removed as soon as possible. Water left in the crawlspace or basement can cause serious damage to the home’s structure and foundation. Damaged items in a basement should be moved to storage areas to dry and any items that have mold should be discarded. In order to prevent flooding, it is important to direct all runoff water away from foundations. My experience has shown that the No. 1 cause of flooding is inadequate or poorly maintained roof rain gutters. Rain gutters need to be inspected and maintained semiannually. All the runoff from the home’s roof is directed to the rain gutters. If they leak, are loose-fitting or are clogged with debris, the water pours over or around the gutters and collects next to the foundation. As the water pours over the gutters, the soil next to the foundation erodes, allowing water to form pools instead of draining away. Proper annual landscaping will give you the opportunity

near the foundation. This includes walks, driveways, porches and patios. These slabs must be sloped to drain away from the foundation. If the concrete is cracked and has settled, it should either be replaced or “slab jacked” to prevent flooding. Slab jacking is a process in which grout is pumped under the concrete slab to elevate the slab for proper drainage. Also inspect the landscaping between the foundation and the concrete slabs. Try to determine how rainwater from the landscaping will drain over the concrete slab. If you have landscape borders next to the concrete, they will act as dams holding the runoff water in the soil. There should be openings in the borders to allow any accumulated water to drain. If your landscaping utilizes decorative gravel or wood chips, the soil underneath should be properly sloped for drainage. Low areas that have been filled with gravel will form pools that can seep to the foundation. Window wells, access doors and foundation vents are openings in the foundation wall that are subject to

The yard should slope at least 6 inches in the first 10 feet on all sides of the foundation. If this is not possible, a French drain or a swale can be installed. A French drain is a perforated plastic pipe buried just beneath the soil and embedded in gravel or crushed stone. The pipe should be designed to drain by gravity to a suitable location. As water collects in the area it will soak into the French drain and be carried away from the foundation. If you have splash blocks for the gutter’s downspout drains, I would strongly recommend you install extension drains to direct the runoff water at least 6 feet from the foundation. Splash blocks prevent erosion, but they do not prevent pooling or flooding. Inspect all concrete slabs

physically unable to have sex, that would not give me permission to go elsewhere — and this was no different. Eventually, I moved to another bedroom. Once I did that, my constant frustration went away. To my surprise, after about a month, my wife came into my room one night. I stopped her and said, “I’ve made a new rule for myself that any woman who wants to share my bed has to be available for sex.” She said, “OK,” and got in. From then on, we have not had further sexual problems. I still don’t understand it. — Faithfulness Is Best Dear Faithfulness: I don’t understand it, either. But I think this shows that there are myriad reasons for sexual problems in a relationship — and a variety of ways to try to solve them. Dear Amy: For the couple in their 70s who couldn’t agree on what movies or TV shows to watch, my wife and I have the same problem — and our solution is separate TVs. When we go out to the movies, we alternate, one for her, one for me. Sometimes, if a movie is really bad, we invoke the you-owe-me-two rule, but in general things have been harmonious. Separate bathrooms helps, too. — Happily Married Dear Happily: Amen to your bathroom idea.

mother-in-law to practice basic hygiene with my child without sacrificing our relationship? — New Mom Dear Mom: According to you, your mother-in-law basically threw you out of the house for making a simple suggestion — and you went back in for more. These extended family relationships are important, but you are a mom now and your priority should be to advocate for your baby, who can’t defend herself against germs — or aggressive grannies. Here’s how you should handle the hand-washing question: “ ‘Gran,’ could you do me a favor and remember to wash your hands after you change the baby? I’m worried about germs.” If your mother-in-law has an alternate idea, suggestion or point of view, listen respectfully. Consider this a little test. If you find yourself escorted off the property, you should not bring your baby back until you receive assurance that other family members will respect you and your husband’s reasonable wishes. Dear Amy: You recently published a letter from “Frustrated,” who was considering having an affair because his wife stopped wanting sex. Having an affair is not going to help his marriage or make him feel better; he obviously loves his wife, and faithfulness is a cornerstone of lifelong love. I experienced the same situation and went through five years of almost total celibacy. I didn’t have an affair. I reasoned that if my wife were

Dear Amy: I am a proud new mom of a beautiful, 9week-old baby. I am blessed to have a mother-inlaw who lives close by and is ready and willing to help with the baby. Family is very important to me, and after 10 ASK of AMY years marriage I feel accepted by the in-laws. I’m not surprised that this huge life change has raised questions about raising children, but my mother-in-law acts very offended when I ask her to do something differently. For instance, when I asked her not to hold the pacifier in the baby’s mouth when it was clear the baby did not want to take it, she asked me to leave and had my brother-in-law escort me to my car. She also does not wash her hands after changing a diaper. It seems like common sense to wash your hands after touching poop. I am not a germ freak and know that kids will be exposed to plenty of germs that will build up their immunity. But I find myself cringing every time I see her touch my baby’s cheek or pick up her pacifier. I feel the need to ask her to wash her hands after diaper changes, but I am not sure how to do this without offending her. I really have a hard time dealing with this “my way or the highway” attitude; but I refuse to deny her time with her grandchild because of disagreements between us. Family is more important to me than disagreements. How can I ask for my

FROM BRAIN INJURIES

Protect our young athletes Through a mother’s eyes rdinarily, the last thing you’d want is state legislators sticking their fingers into high school athletics. But in the case of a bill approved by the N.C. House and under review in the Senate, it could help prevent serious brain injuries and even save lives. The bill would promote development of an athletics concussion safety training program and standardize concussion safety requirements for interscholastic athletics. The measure follows the deaths of two N.C. students — Matt Gfeller of Winston-Salem and Jaquan Waller of Greenville — who suffered fatal head injuries during high school football games. While such deaths are rare, the dangers associated with concussions are getting more attention these days, as they should. Although many are aware of pro football players and boxers who’ve suffered severe long-term effects from repeated brain trauma, the danger for young athletes has been less publicized. Yet, according to some studies, youngsters may be more at risk because they’re still developing physically, and they’re often less aware of concussion dangers. High school athletes sustain about 130,000 concussions each year, according to a 2008 study by the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Football accounts for the highest incidence, followed by soccer. While any brain injury is serious, experts say the harmful consequences increase exponentially when players and coaches ignore concussion symptoms such as dizziness, memory loss or headaches. The 2008 study shows why medical experts are concerned: • 42 percent of student athletes who suffered a concussion returned to the game too soon after the injury. • 16 percent of student athletes who suffered a concussion and lost consciousness returned to play the same day. • 18 percent of Second Impact Syndrome victims are under 18. SIS arises when an injured person sustains a second concussion before healing from the first. Preventive measures and speedy treatment reduce concussion risks. The N.C. bill is similar to those already enacted in several other states and follows protocols recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and U.S. Youth Soccer, who’ve partnered on a campaign to increase concussion awarenesss. (You can find symptom descriptions and other relevant information at www.cdc. gov/concussion.) Staying abreast of concussion research doesn’t require a new law, of course. Safety concerns should be motivation enough for players, parents and school staff. But the N.C. measure — which has been endorsed by the NFL and the N.C. High School Athletic Association — can help by highlighting concussion awareness and giving coaches and sports organizations clear guidelines to minimize the risks and protect young athletes.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

Hard work without talent is a shame, but talent without hard work is a tragedy. — Robert Half

ne of the things on my todo list is to have the oil changed regularly in my car. I’ve been fortunate enough to have the same mechanic for many years, but last year, I had to find a new one. My new mechanic’s name is Charles Cannaday, but his nickname is “Rowdy.” He grew up during the ’70s, in Chesapeake, Va., but moved to North Carolina when he went to work for a Nascar team in Mooresville. Due to a downturn in the economy, he was laid off, but he eventually found work at Strickland’s Auto DICY and Truck Parts MCCULLOUGH in Cleveland. I soon learned that “Rowdy” and I have a common interest, and that is the love of music. One day when I was at Strickland’s, I heard music playing in the background. I soon found out it was a recording by the Salisbury Swing Band. Rowdy plays trumpet in that band. To understand Rowdy’s love of music, one has to understand his dad’s love of music. His dad, Jack, began playing trombone in high school, during the ’50s, and even started his own band. They were good enough to be noticed by a recording company in California and were offered not only a record deal, but also a touring contract. Thinking it over, the band members collectively decided not to take the offer. After that, Rowdy’s dad married his mom, and as they say, “The rest is history.” Jack Cannaday made a living doing various things, and at one time, was even a policeman. After years away from the music he loved, he was drawn back in and opened his own music store. Rowdy says his dad has a lot of stories, but is especially proud of one. It seems Louis Armstrong came to Chesapeake, Va., looking for musicians to play with him for an event in the area. An ad was placed in the local newspaper with the requirements to be met. To meet the requirements, the musicians had to not only play by ear, but also be able to follow Armstrong’s lead. Jack was one of the few around that could, so he was chosen. He never forgot that experience and sees it as one of the highlights of his life. Since being laid-off from the racing teams, Rowdy has had time to reflect on those musical memories. Just like his dad, he too, came back to his love of music. Not only does he play in a band, but recently, with the help of his dad and his wife, Diane, he started his own instrument repair and rental business, “High Note Music.” During this school year, he has repaired instruments for West Rowan Middle, West Rowan High, Carson High and Catawba College. Having a local person who can repair instruments is a definite plus to the band programs in the community. Rowdy appreciates the time and effort that goes into the production of these programs and adamantly talks about how band directors are often the first ones to arrive at school, and the last ones to leave at night. Not only do they have to teach, but they also write music, arrange music, repair instruments and chaperone contests. He says they definitely wear a lot of hats. He goes on to say, “Music is all around us. Yet, this is one of the first things to get cut in educational budgets.” Rowdy can’t help his passion because it was high school band where both he and his father developed their love. From this love, they developed careers and experiences that continue to enrich their lives. Hut Strickland’s Auto and Truck Parts may seem an unlikely place for swing or jazz music, but as you wait for your car to be serviced, don’t be surprised if you hear that distinct sound. It will probably be Rowdy playing a song from his collection, but then again, he’s allowed. His dad played with Louis Armstrong, and how many people do you know who can say that about their dad? If you need to rent an instrument, have one repaired, or need musical supplies, Rowdy can be reached at 704-278-0803 or highnotemusic.org.

Bin Laden’s gone; my son will still go to war BY LEE ANN SIDES Special to the Salisbury Post

s America and parts of the world hail the death of Osama bin Laden, I, being the mother of a U.S. soldier, am at a loss to describe how I feel. I am grateful for the death of a man who could be described as evil personified. He killed thousands of people including nearly 3,000 in the 911 attacks. My initial reaction was one of joy, happiness for all the families of 911 victims and others who finally have a small amount of closure. But my son’s reaction sobered me. “They’ll just replace him,” he said. Jason has been home from his third deployment about two months — a very difficult one that included three broken fingers and the loss of nine of his fellow soldiers from his unit in a helicopter crash. He kept working through all of it, firing an M240H from the door of a Blackhawk helicopter despite the broken fingers on his firing hand and doing his best to hold up his brothers who were experiencing a fellow soldier’s death for the first time. One of those soldiers was his roommate and a fellow door gunner. During his first two deployments, he was engaged. This deployment, there was no fiancée for him to talk to, and I heard plenty of stories that gave me a renewed perspective on what soldiers really go through. I’m grateful for the support group I have around me. Jason tells me

stories. I don’t react. Just let him get it out. It has to go somewhere. Then I have my rants, cries, etc. with other people in my life who help me cope. My heart broke at the news of the helicopter crash. I cried for my son, his strength and courage in the face of something so close. I never met any of those lost, but I wear a T-shirt that bears their names.

I see tiredness in my son’s eyes and I share it, an emotional weariness and a knowledge that I can’t touch the places where all the things he’s seen lie. I share my son’s concerns. Retaliation is a real possibility now. After spending a month on base post-deployment and nearly a month on leave at home, my son returns to a unit that already has orders to return to Afghanistan. Thankfully, Jason will be joining another unit in July. But there are still so many in harm’s way. We have lost so many — 1,560 American soldiers in Afghanistan, another 10,468 injured. Some 303 soldiers from North Carolina have been injured, 49 dead. In the province where my son was stationed, 356 soldiers lost their lives. These statistics came

LETTERS Carter spent his life in selfless service With the recent passing of Don Carter, Salisbury lost a traditional, old-school gentleman in every sense of the word. I had known Don from the time I started to work at Summersett Funeral Home in 1954. I was a wet-behind-theears teenager at the ripe old age of 15. My father had died when I was 12, and my mother sometimes worked two jobs just to keep a roof over our heads. I was a latch-key kid before it became typical. Don became a mentor, and I followed his example, learning how to dress appropriately, serve as a funeral director and apprentice embalmer. At that time, the funeral homes operated 24-hour ambulance service, so a sense of teamwork and camaraderie existed among the staff that I would only find again in the military. After a short time, I brought most of my clothes and personal belongings to the funeral home at the old West Council Street location and virtually lived there. Don began to allow me to drive the funeral cars in the rear parking lot of Summersett’s. He eventually encouraged me to get my learner’s permit, taking me in his personal car to the Highway Patrol station to do so. After I turned 16, he would take me to the patrol station to practice parallel parking, a big thing for new licensees in those days. Don guided me through the entire process until I got my license. There were other in-

TO THE

from a website dedicated exclusively to statistics about the war on terror, www.icasualties.com. A chilling discovery. Osama bin Laden was one man — human, just like the rest of us. He did not kill thousands alone. Al Qaida is made up of many like him who have been taught by extremists, some since they were very small. Children as young as 12 strap on bomb vests and act as suicide bombers. Al Qaida has prepared for this time, and they will not stop. I pray we don’t lose any more, but the sad fact is we will. I am grateful for all the hard work and time that went into finding and taking him down. Bin Laden’s death makes the sting of those lost a little more palatable. My heart says, “Enough.” I see tiredness in my son’s eyes and I share it, an emotional weariness and a knowledge that I can’t touch the places where all the things he’s seen lie. Some things even a mother can’t fix. But though I am tired, I remain vigilant. If he deploys again, I will be there, just as before. I pray for all those deployed and those who may fall victim to retaliation. Though I celebrate bin Laden’s death, I know one thing. This is not over. An ABC News report spoke of a poster hung on a wall in Afghanistan meant for members of Al Qaida. It read, “Another lion will take Osama’s place. We are all Osama.” • • • Lee Ann Sides lives in Rowan County.

He had a young family then, and he and his wife, Margaret, provided excellent examples of what a family should be. Don spent his life in selfless service to others.

Salisbury finances First, I am not a city resident. I live in an area of the county that successfully turned down the offer to join up several years ago. In Thursday’s paper, it states council members want more information about revenue and subscriber projections from Fibrant. Is this the same council that decided their city residents would not be given a chance to approve this venture in the first place? City residents have the right to know just how far in the future will it take for Fibrant to break even if it ever

will. The city is not the first locality to offer this service. I’ve been told in one case, one municipally has spent $100 million doing something similar, that it probably will never break even and a large part of their budget is being used to pay for it. Leaders there even looked at selling it but the current value of the investment now is $40 million. Of course, all of the city’s financial problems this budget year can’t be laid at Fibrant’s feet. But you just have to ask this one question: if the city’s voters had been given the chance to approve this, would this have been avoided? Every year it takes Fibrant to at least break even adds a financial burden on every department in the city and of course the silent city taxpayer. Now the money has been spent and has to be paid back with interest. How many current and future jobs will be cut and cuts to the other city departments in the future can be expected if this investment doesn’t perform as originally expected. Of course, you can always pay higher taxes and fees on everything. In the end, that always seems to be the solution that is taken. — Robert N. Stone Salisbury

Celebrating Romar, Rowan HAPEL HILL — What’s tougher than running the football around end with three burly linebackers staring you in the face? Walking onto a stage wearing a tie to accept an award. “I was nervous,” said Salisbury’s speed merchant Romar Morris on Thursday during the NCHSAA’s annual meeting. “I never walked in front of a crowd that big.” Morris had just climbed the five steps to a large stage RONNIE set up in the Dean E. Smith GALLAGHER Center. “Getting an award is way harder than jon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST playing football in front of a thousand peoRomar Morris shows off a winning smile after being named North Carolina Athlete of the Year. ple,” Morris said, shaking his head.

Morris wasn’t the only Rowan County celebrity to walk across that stage and receive awards. But he was the only one to get a standing ovation. Standing ovations are reserved for people being named North Carolina Athlete of the Year, an award he shared with East Bladen basketball-volleyball-track star Courtney Melvin. “It’s the best feeling ever,” Morris said after being interviewed by Channel 14 news. Over in the corner was North Carolina football coach Butch Davis watching his future Tar Heel accept the state association’s most prestigious award. A bigger story on Morris will appear in Sunday’s Post. By then, it will have sunk in just what happened on Thursday.

Terps’ Williams retires Associated Press

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — After sweating through crisp white shirts and expensive suits for more than three decades, Maryland basketball coach Gary Williams is finally ready to take it easy. Williams announced his retirement Thursday, saying “it’s the right time” for to him end a career in WILLIAMS which he led his alma mater to the 2002 national championship. Williams coached for 33 years, the last 22 at Maryland, where he played as a guard from 1964-67. “My entire career has been an unbelievable blessing. I am fiercely proud of the program we have built here,” Williams said. “I couldn’t have asked any more from my players, my assistant coaches, the great Maryland fans and this great university. Together, we did something very special here.” His career record is 668-380, including 461-252 at Maryland. Under his direction, the Terrapins went to the NCAA tournament 14 times, won or shared three Atlantic Coast Conference titles and reached the Final Four twice. Williams was a fiery competitor who despised losing and loved the challenge of competing against the best teams in the nation — including Duke, which usually got the best of him. But the Terrapins never went down without a fight, and rarely did Williams ever take a seat on the bench. His frenzied style, and his propensity to sweat on the sideline more than his players, was as much a part of his legend as wins and losses. “I love Gary. What he has done for Maryland and for college basketball is remarkable,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “He is one of the great coaches of all time. He is a coaches’ coach and an ultimate competitor. His retirement is a big loss for the ACC and for college basketball.” Williams, 66, arrived at Maryland in 1989, when the program was still struggling under the weight of NCAA violations. The Terps endured two straight losing seasons before reaching the NCAA tournament for the first time under his direction in 1994.

North Rowan’s Meloney Ramos had the biggest day of all Cavaliers as the girls and boys won the Yadkin Valley Conference track championships.

Work to be done Cavaliers win, but Steele wants better performance BY RONNIE GALLAGHER rgallagher@salisburypost.com

jon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST

North Rowan’s Sam Starks goes airborne. Starks won the triple jump and was second in the long jump.

SPENCER — North Rowan swept the boys and girls Yadkin Valley Conference track meets Thursday so you’d think Cavaliers coach Robert Steele would be one happy man. Uh, no. “I’m not real happy,” Steele said with four events still remaining. “Matter of fact, I’m sort of frustrated.” With the boys or the girls? “Both. We don’t look sharp. We don’t look polished.” So how much better than the rest of the YVC are the Cavs even on an off day? The boys won handily with 229 points while the girls weren’t challenged. As usual, North was led by Meloney Ramos and Johnny Oglesby. Oglesby won the 110 hurdles (14.03), the long jump (22-6) and the 300 hurdles (39.44) — and accomplished it all while limping around. “My knee’s messed up a little,” Oglesby said. “But I’m still going to work to the best of my ability. We’ve only got two more weeks until the big dance and we’ve gotta suck it up.” North’s boys got off to a quick start, thanks to the big men in the shot-put circle. Garland Archie, Javon Hargrave and Darius Jackson were 1-2-3 in that event with Archie throwing 50-6, Hargrave 44-2 and Jackson 43-7. Archie also won the discus (154-100). Khandier Kimber won the high jump. North also dominated the relays winning the 4x200 (Titus King, Jackson, Daylon Gray and Sam Starks in 1:30.13) and the 4x800 (Witt Alexander, Terrese Barber, Neegbeah Reeves and Patrick Imes in 8:52.59). The Cavs were second in the 4x100 to Albemarle. Starks was second to Oglesby in the 110 hur-

Reeves was beaten at the finish line by West Montgomery’s Christian Bradley in the mile but he bounced back to win the 3200 (10:54.38). Cameron Mallett and Kelley were 3-4 in the 100 meters and Mallet was third in the 200. • Ramos dominated the girls meet, winning four events: the long jump (17-9), the 100 hurdles

North, Hornets roll From staff reports

North Rowan’s baseball team beat South Stanly 10-4 in a YVC seeding game played in Mt. Gilead on Thursday afternoon. The teams shared the regular-season title and split with each other and both were eliminated in the semifinals of the YVC tournament. BARKER North (20-6) earned the league’s No. 1 seed for the 1A state playoffs that begin on May 13. The Cavaliers will play at home and will take on a wild-card qualifier in the opening round. South Stanly will be the No. 3 seed. Matt Laurens (5-1) was the winning pitcher in relief of Dusty Agner. Laurens entered in the fourth inning. Wesley Barker led the Cavaliers with two doubles and two RBIs. Hunter Feezor also knocked in two runs, while Dakota Brown had two hits. North was limited to eight hits but bunched five of them in a four-run fifth inning that broke the game open. “We came out with a whole lot of focus today,” North coach Aaron Rimer said. ‘It’s a huge win for our kids and our program.” North has won 20 games for the fourth time in school history and for the first time since 2000 when a Bill Kesler-coached squad that included Daniel Moore, Brad Canipe and Nathan Woodburn was 2A runner-up. Albemarle and North Moore played in the tournament championship last night but no score was available. The winner of that game will be a No. 2 seed for the playoffs, while the loser will be No. 4. Salisbury rolls Salisbury had no trouble with Lexington in a CCC first-round matchup, rolling 10-0 in five innings at Robertson Stadium behind freshman pitcher Chance Bowden. Fourth-seeded Salisbury (12-10) jumped ahead with two runs in the first and opened up some breathing room with a four-run second. BOWDEN In his first varsity start, Bowden struck out six while allowing three hits and three walks. “I thought Chance did exactly what we wanted him to do,” SHS coach Scott Maddox said. “He was around the plate and let his defense work behind him.” John Knox went 2-for-3 with three

The Hornets can move up to the league’s No. 2 seed for the 2A playoffs by winning the tournament. If they don’t win it, they’ll be a No. 4 seed. In the other CCC first-round game on Thursday, Central Davidson disposed of Thomasville 10-0. Third-seeded Central Davidson plays No. 2 East Davidson in the semifinal nightcap tonight at Salisbury. Davie wins close one It took nine innings, but Davie edged R.J. Reynolds 2-1 to advance to the CPC championship game. The fifth-seeded Demons scored early against Davie starting pitcher Joe Watson, but Watson shut them down after that and lasted seven innings. Corey Randall was the winning pitcher in relief. Carson Herndon’s home run in the sixth inning tied the game 1-1. Davie scratched out the winning run in the ninth. Javan Phillips was hit by a pitch, Nick Boswell bunted him to second, and Alex Newman was intentionally walked. Connor Bodenhamer smacked a game-winning hit. Davie (21-2) has already secured the league’s No. 1 seed for the 4A state playoffs and will play for the tournament title tonight against West Forsyth at 7 p.m. at North Davidson. The Titans beat ND 7-0 in a semi. SPC update Cox Mill beat Central Cabarrus 125 Thursday in a play-in game for the SPC’s No. 5 seed for the 3A playoffs.

North Rowan’s Neegbeah Reeves starts the 1600-meter run. Reeves was beaten at the wire in this race but he did win the 3200 as the Cavaliers rolled to the YVC title.

North Rowan’s Johnny Oglesby leads the pack in the 300 hurdles.

YVC TRACK FROM 1B (14.8), the 300 hurdles (47.2) and the triple jump (39-0). “I had a mind frame just like the county meet,” she said. “Just go for it all. I got the MVP (at the county). I’m trying to get something out here.” Like Oglesby, Ramos was hurting. jon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST “The jumps were kinda North Rowan coach Robert Steele will now prepare his Cavs hard with my legs messed up,” for next week’s regional in Monroe. she said. “I’ve got tendinitis

and a cyst on the back of my knee. In the 100 hurdles, I banged my knee. The long jump irritated me but I fought through it.” Steele said, “It’s just that time of year. You have to work through some of those things.” The girls 4x100 (Christen Jones, Tameisha Allen, Tianka White and Chastity Byrd) and 4x200 team (Jones, Akevia Charleston, Yasarian Bush and Allen) weren’t challenged. Bush was also second in the 200. Sabrina Vann was second in the discus (102-11).

• Despite his success and North’s large margin of victory, Oglesby understood his coach’s dismay. “Basically, we’re in a comfort zone,” he said. “We think we’re going to beat everybody. We can’t be like that. There’s going to be people who can push you.” “I think we think we’re a lot better than we are. I’ve been telling them that,” Steele added. “If we were playing a game of marbles and we were not at our best, I would not be satisfied.” Expect the Cavaliers to be

at their “Mean Green” best next Saturday in the regional at Monroe. Steele will stress focus in practice. “Next week, we go back to work and try to make it better,” Steele said. • NOTES: Teaunna Cuthbertson didn’t run Friday. “I decided to give her a break,” Steele said. ... The Cav boys won a whopping 92 points over second-place West Montgomery. ... Gray Stone’s Hunter Latimer of Salisbury won the 1600 and 3200, each by one second.

The 2008 winner was Regan Smith, and his competition included several open wheel guys (Dario Franchitti, Jacques Villenueve and Patrick Carpentier) whose flirtation with NASCAR not only didn’t end marriage, it never even got past the handholding stage. The 2002 class included Jimmie Johnson and Ryan Newman; in 2001 it was Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch who led the charge; in 2000, Matt Kenseth and Dale Earnhardt Jr. joined the show. Three of the six have won Cup championships, and of course Johnson has hogged it for the last

five years. This season, interest in the freshman class might be at an alltime low. Lally, who has made eight starts, looks like he’s going to be the runaway winner of the Rookie of the Year. His best finish is 19th at Talladega.

Lakers forward ron Artest is in trouble again.

Lakers suspend Artest Associated Press

The NBA notebook ... DALLAS — Lakers forward Ron Artest has been suspended from Game 3 of a second-round series against the Mavericks on Friday night for hitting Dallas guard J.J. Barea in the face with a forearm. Los Angeles, already down 0-2, now will be playing a pivotal game without its starting small forward. “No reaction,” Artest said Thursday in Los Angeles, prior to boarding a team flight to Dallas. “I’m just ready to move forward and play basketball.” Barea was dribbing around Los Angeles’ Lamar Odom with 24 seconds left in a game that had already been decided when Artest moved in and swung a forearm at the guard’s head. Artest was ejected immediately. The league said Thursday he also would be assessed a flagrant foul. An accumulation of flagrant foul points could lead to another suspension. “Not surprised,” Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. Artest will lose more than $57,000. He’s expected to return for Game 4 on Sunday. SHAQ UPDATE WALTHAM, Mass. — Shaquille O'Neal is expected

Players back on field on their own

to play for the Boston Celtics in the playoffs for the first time in Game 3 against the Miami Heat. Coach Doc Rivers said Thursday the center likely will return from a right calf injury Saturday night against the Heat, who lead the bestof-seven Eastern Conference semifinal series 2-0. O'Neal had missed 27 games with a sore right leg. He returned on April 4 against Detroit but lasted 5 minutes, 29 seconds before leaving with the calf problem. Rivers said that barring a setback, O'Neal will play Saturday but won't start. O'Neal played 37 games this season, averaging 20.3 minutes, 9.2 points and 4.8 rebounds. WADE AND JORDAN MIAMI — Dwyane Wade grew up in Chicago idolizing Michael Jordan, and still remembers daydreaming about wearing the sneakers bearing his hometown hero's name. The Miami Heat star has come a long way. Wade's first signature shoe for Jordan Brand was released Thursday. In the planning stages for months, the "Fly Wade" is the lightest shoe in the Jordan line yet, and carries a retail price of $140.

Football is back. NFL players are on the field. Not at team facilities — that’s banned by the lockout. Instead, led by such veterans as Drew Brees, LaDainian Tomlinson and Tony Romo, players are holding workouts across the map. Some have been open to the public, others more clandestine. None has the intensity of a minicamp, which most teams would be holding right about now if not for the work stoppage. “This is just the nature of what we’ve been placed in,” said Houston tackle Eric Winston, the Texans’ alternate player representative. “It is frustrating, but at the same time, this isn’t the path that we wanted to go down. But this is where we are, and we have to be professionals and do what we have to do to stay ready.” That means getting together on college campuses, at high schools, even at a golf course to stretch, lift weights, run through plays, and prepare as if a return to real football is just ahead. Some of the workouts have

been highly attended, including about 40 Saints at Tulane University earlier this week. The Texans made use of facilities at Rice University, less than 5 miles from their Reliant Stadium home, where a dozen or so players have participated, but no drafted players. That seems to be a trend for many of the workouts, in part because those players could have insurance and health coverage issues. But Jets draftees Jeremy Kerley and Scotty McKnight, both wide receivers, attended Mark Sanchez’s Jets West camp in Mission Viejo, Calif. It was staged on a high school field, and the Jets’ local rivals, the Giants, held something similar Thursday in Hoboken, N.J. At one point, a truck from the Hoboken fire department pulled up about a block behind the artificial turf field, set up its ladder, and firefighters climbed to the roof of a storage company. They stood on the edge of the roof and watched practice for about 10 minutes. Among the Giants on hand were quarterback Eli Manning, tight end Kevin Boss and receiver Hakeem Nicks. Man-

ors in Cup. Or they might’ve been the same. Bayne cast his lot with Nationwide and he’s struggled in the support series, so chances are the momentum of the Daytona upset would’ve run out fairly quickly anyway. Certainly there’s a chance that Lally and/or Keselowski will go on to have fabulous careers in the top level of NASCAR. And if that happens, history will show that the 2011 Cup rookie class was, indeed, a memorable one. The way things are going, however, Andy and Brad will be lucky if the average NASCAR fan even knows their numbers at season’s end.

Jets running back Ladanian tomlinson catches a pass. ning and backup Sage Rosenfels simulated snaps, dropped back, rolled out and threw an assortment of passes. Some throws were held up by a brisk wind. “We’re getting our timing back down the first week, making up a little bit,” Nicks said. “I think guys are trying to get back in that groove and get that connection back.” While there’s a disconnect between the league and the players as the labor dispute goes through court proceedings, hundreds of players are doing everything from tossing balls to running routes to discussing playbooks.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — R y a n Canucks 4 Kesler Predators 2 broke a tie with a power-play goal at 7:28 of the third period, and the Vancouver Canucks beat the Nashville Predators 4-2 on Thursday night to take a 3-1 lead in their Western semifinal series. Christian Ehrhoff scored a power-play goal and had two assists, Kesler also had two assists, and Alexander Edler had a goal. Henrik Sedin notched his first points in the series with two assists and an empty-net goal with 20.6 seconds left. The Canucks, the Presidents' Trophy winners for the NHL's best regular-season record, can close out the series Saturday night. Joel Ward and Cody Franson each had a goal and an assist for Nashville. The Predators lost consecutive games for the first time this postseason. Kesler scored his second straight winner with a power-play goal off a penalty he drew.

CHARLOTTE — Of all the times Bill Haas has played Quail Hollow, he never had a round quite like this. Haas had stress-free birdies on all the par 5s and did little wrong on the rest of the holes Thursday in the Wells Fargo Championship, matching the tournament record for lowest opening round with an 8-under 64. It was his best score by four shots at Quail Hollow on the PGA Tour, and way better than two dozen rounds he played when he would tag along with his father, Jay Haas, on the special trips they made to the course. Haas had a two-shot lead over David Toms and Jonathan Byrd, who each had a 66 in the morning when it was barely above 40 degrees at the start of the tournament with a north wind that is uncommon for this tournament. Defending champion Rory McIlroy made some errors early, and he never quite caught up. In his first trip back to America after his Sunday collapse in the Masters, the 22-year-old from Northern Ireland had a 75. • BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Tom Lehman shot a bogey-free 5-under 67 at Shoal Creek to take a onestroke lead after the first round of the Regions Tradition, the Champions Tour's first major of the season.

DODGERS NEW YORK — Major League Baseball believes the Los Angeles Dodgers do not have enough money to make their end of May payroll, a person familiar with the team’s finances told The Associated Press. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because MLB’s investigation of the team’s finances under owner Frank McCourt is ongoing, said that if the Dodgers don’t have the money, MLB would step in and make payroll. McCourt has publicly complained Selig has refused to approve a 17-year contract with Fox that could be worth more than $3 billion, a deal that would include a front-loaded payment of about $300 million. His lawyers sent a letter to MLB putting his complaints in writing, a precursor to a possible lawsuit.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL WASHINGTON — The Justice Department wants to know why the NCAA doesn’t have a college football playoff system and says there are “serious questions” about whether the current format to determine a national champion complies with antitrust laws. Critics who have urged the department to investigate the Bowl Championship Series contend it unfairly gives some schools preferential access to the title championship game and top-tier end-of-the-season bowl contents.

In a letter this week, the department’s antitrust chief, Christine Varney, asked NCAA President Mark Emmert why a playoff system isn’t used in football, unlike in other sports; what steps the NCAA has taken to create one; and whether Emmert thinks there are aspects of the BCS system that don’t serve the interest of fans, schools and players. BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Boise State football coach Chris Petersen, in the wake of a series of NCAA violations, will have fewer scholarships to hand out in the next two years and less time on the practice field to prepare for tough season openers against Georgia this fall and Michigan State in 2012. The sanctions already imposed on the Broncos football team are part of a broader penalty package put in place by university officials this week for men’s and women’s tennis and track and field after an NCAA inquiry identified nearly two dozen violations by coaches in those sports. The NCAA said its inquiry, along with an internal investigation by Boise State, identified 22 infractions and an absence of institutional controls necessary to fully comply with rules governing collegiate athletic programs. • GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida coach Will Muschamp has finalized his contract. Muschamp received a $750,000 signing bonus, making his first year of the five-year deal worth more than $3.25 million. His average salary will be about $2.75 million annually. • NEW YORK — Army will play Rutgers at Yankee Stadium on Nov. 12. Rutgers was 1-7-1 at the original Yankee Stadium, playing there for the last time in 1948. Army played at the old ballpark 38 times and was part of the first football game at the new stadium, losing to Notre Dame 27-3 last Nov. 20.

TENNIS MADRID — Novak Djokovic extended his season-opening winning streak to 29 matches Thursday at the Madrid Open, equaling the best start in men's tennis in 25 years. The Australian Open champion won all 21 of his first service points to defeat Guillermo GarciaLopez 6-1, 6-2 and advance to the quarterfinals. He was joined by fellow thirdround winner Roger Federer and top-ranked Rafael Nadal, who advanced after opponent Juan Martin del Potro withdrew with a hip injury. Djokovic, who is 31-0 since last year's Davis Cup final, is tied for third with Ivan Lendl for the best season start since 1980.

HORSES LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Dialed In was made the early 4-1 favorite for the Kentucky Derby after drawing the favorable No. 8 post, with Uncle Mo as the second choice in a full field of 20 horses.

Joe Pinyan accepted two awards for the GPA of girls cross country and girls swimming.

From left, NCHSAA president Davis Whitfield, David Ball, Mike London and Mac Morris.

GALLAGHER FROM 1B • A couple of weeks ago, I told Salisbury athletic director and football coach Joe Pinyan that we were naming Hornet senior Darien Rankin the Rowan County Athlete of the Year. It was a no-brainer. Rankin was a first-team all-state player in football. He was the county player of the year in basketball. And he had just won several events in the county track meet. Like Morris, he had received a football scholarship to North Carolina. We both looked at each other and said, “What about Romar?” A few days later, Morris was named the NCHSAA’s top athlete. “There’s enough awards to go around and share with all the athletes,” Pinyan said of Morris and Rankin. “I think it’s great. They’ve always played together and been on every team together. And they’re going to follow each other to Chapel Hill. The stories are not over yet.” Morris thinks its special, too. “We feel like a duo getting all the awards in the county and state and going to school together,” Morris grinned. “It’s a great thing.” • The NCHSAA might as well have thrown a big Rowan County party yesterday. Time and again, someone from here was introduced

South Rowan girls basketball coach Jarrod Smith stands with wife Meredith while holding his NCHSAA award. for academic and athletic excellence. Rowan County not only wins on the field, but it’s pretty good in the classroom. Salisbury was recognized for its the state’s GPA in girls cross country and girls swimming.

But it wasn’t just all Salisbury. Is that South Rowan girls basketball coach Jarrod Smith being called up? Yes. His Raiders had the state’s best GPA (3.810) in that sport — many of the same girls who play volleyball and softball.

Downtown Salisbury, Inc. presents ...

“It’s easy to lay my head down at night knowing I don’t have to worry about my girls making grades,” Smith said. “It shows the quality of girls we get to play basketball. It’s very impressive. It’s like their own state championship.” • Is that associate superintendent Walter Hart and Pinyan unfolding a banner on stage? Yes. Salisbury again was called up for winning the NCHSAA’s Exemplary School Award for having the most well-rounded school in academics and athletics. Later, as he nodded toward Morris, a giddy Pinyan appeared humbled by it all. “He’s the state player of the year from the state program of the year,” Pinyan said. “I mean, there’s things every coach and administrator dreams of and that’s to be the best you can be academically and be the best athletically. To accomplish all that in one day is hard to fathom.” • There was one more award to go to a Rowan County celebrity. Is that my buddy Mike London walking up to the stage to receive the Tim Stevens Media Representative of the Year award? I think it is. Pinyan grabbed a pen and pad and began asking me for Mike’s life story. “Well, it all began in a log cabin in Mooresville. ...” OK, OK, it didn’t. We all laughed. Everyone felt good to say

jon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST

The North Carolina Athletes of the Year are Romar Morris of Salisbury and Courtney Melvin of East Bladen. they were from these parts on this day. “Rowan County has won 27 state championships since 2000,” the NCHSAA’s Rick Strunk told the large audience. “Mike has been there to cover most of them.” And when the NCHSAA meeting had ended, Mike did what all sportswriters do. He headed up the stairs to the Dean Dome walkway. There was free food waiting. • The best school? The best athlete? The best students in the classroom? The best sportswriter? Yep, it’s been a very good year to be a part of sports in Rowan County. And the best part? It’s not over. • Contact Ronnie Gallagher at 704-797-4287 or rgallagher@salisburypost.com.

If the trustee is unable to convey title to this property for any reason, the sole remedy of the purchaser is the return of the deposit. Reasons of such inability to convey include, but are not limited to, the filing of a bankruptcy petition prior to the confirmation of the sale and reinstatement of the loan without the knowledge of the trustee. If the validity of the sale is challenged by any party, the trustee, in their sole discretion, if they believe the challenge to have merit, may request the court to declare the sale to be void and return the deposit. The purchaser will have no further remedy.

Royals call up stud prospect Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Eric Hosmer, the top prospect in Kansas City’s talent-rich minor league system, will start at first base on Friday night in his major league debut. The Royals made the announcement moments after their 9-1 victory on Thursday over Baltimore. He will replace the struggling Kila Ka’aihue at first base. KC’s first-round draft pick in 2008, Hosmer was hitting .439 for Triple-A Omaha with three home runs and 15 RBIs in 26 games. He had a slugging percentage of .582. 

ATLANTA — Milwaukee center fielder Nyjer Morgan has broken a finger only two days after returning from the 15-day disabled list. Morgan injured the middle finger on his left hand while executing a sacrifice in the eighth inning of Thursday night’s 2-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves. Morgan returned from the disabled list on Tuesday after being sidelined with a right quadriceps contusion. Manager Ron Roenicke says Morgan could miss two to four weeks.

Price on his game against Blue Jays Associated Press ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — David Price allowed one unearned run while pitching into the ninth inning, Johnny Damon got his 2,600th career hit and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 on Thursday. Price (4-3) is undefeated against the Blue Jays, winning eight times in nine starts. The left-hander allowed four hits and struck out 10 over 8 2-3 innings. Damon had two hits, which moved him past Steve Garvey (2,599) into 75th place on the career list. His fifth-inning double (490) tied him for 59th place with Mickey Vernon on that list. The Rays won their 12th consecutive home series over Toronto, since 2007. John Jaso had an RBI double, Damon drove in a run with an infield single and Matt Joyce hit a sacrifice fly off Kyle Drabek (2-2) to put the Rays ahead 3-0 in the third. Royals 9, Orioles 1 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Melky Cabrera homered, doubled and singled while driving in four runs, and Bruce Chen allowed one run in seven innings. Cabrera, who also scored three times, hit a solo homer in the eighth off Clay Rapada. Chen (4-1) gave up his only run in the first and then pitched shutout ball for the next six innings. The left-hander, who was KC’s biggest winner last year, allowed five hits and one run, walking two and striking out five. He has not lost a start in Kauffman Stadium since Aug. 12, 2010, against the Yankees. Since then, he’s 6-0 in nine starts at home. Tigers 6, Yankees 3 DETROIT — Brennan Boesch homered and drove in three runs, and the Detroit Tigers took advantage of some sloppy fielding to beat the New York Yankees for the third straight time.

angels alexi amarista, Bobby abreu (53), erick aybar (2) and Mark trumbo (44) are all smiles after a rout of the Boston red sox on thursday. Derek Jeter didn’t play for the Yankees, given the day off after leaving the previous night’s game with a right hip problem. His replacement, Eduardo Nunez, made two errors, including a high throw in the seventh that gave the Tigers two runs. Rick Porcello (2-2) allowed two runs on eight hits for the Tigers. Angels 11, Red Sox 0 BOSTON — Rookie Mark Trumbo hit his sixth homer of the season and the Los Angeles Angels salvaged a series split at Boston, racking up 18 hits. Bobby Abreu drove in three runs for Los Angeles, which was 0-6 against Boston entering the four-game series.

After ending the skid in a rain-delayed 5-3 win in 13 innings early Thursday, the Angels chased Boston starter John Lackey (2-4) in the fifth after scoring eight runs on 10 hits. Indians 4, Athletics 3, 12 innings OAKLAND, Calif. — Jack Hannahan and Lou Marson had RBI singles in the 12th inning, lifting the Indians to the victory. Hannahan’s bloop single to left off Craig Breslow (0-2) provided the go-ahead run, and Marson followed with another single to propel Cleveland to another late-inning rally. A night after their seven-game winning streak was snapped, the Indians won in their final at-bat for the seventh time.

nings and Raul Ibanez and Shane Victorino homered as Philadelphia completed a threegame sweep. Halladay, the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner, allowed two runs and six hits to win his 10th straight decision against the franchise from Washington and Montreal. Halladay (5-1) has won 13 consecutive starts against the NL East. John Lannan (2-4) allowed seven hits and six runs in twoplus innings to fall to 0-10 against the Phillies. Cardinals 6, Marlins 3 ST. LOUIS — Lance Berkman homered and drove in four runs and Matt Holliday had two RBIs for St. Louis. Holliday fought off an inside pitch for the tying hit with one out in the eighth, chasing Johnson after 114 pitches, and Berkman greeted Mike Dunn with a three-run homer. Jason Motte (1-0) had a strikeout and a walk in the eighth and Eduardo Sanchez finished for his third save in three

ATLANTA — Martin Prado hit a tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning and Atlanta beat Milwaukee 2-1 on Thursday night to complete a four-game series sweep. Prado led off against Kameron Loe (2-3) with his third homer. Prado was Loe’s first batter in relief of Shaun Marcum, who pitched seven strong innings. Milwaukee has a six-game losing streak. Atlanta has won five straight. Jonny Venters (2-0) worked the eighth and Craig Kimbrel pitched a perfect ninth for his seventh save. Atlanta’s Eric Hinske, making only his third start of the season at first base, homered. Braves rookie Brandon Beachy yielded an unearned run in six innings. He matched his career high with nine strikeouts. Phillies 7, Nationals 3 PHILADELPHIA — Roy Halladay struck out 10 in seven in-

chances. Reds 10, Astros 4 CINCINNATI— Homer Bailey returned from the disabled list with six strong innings, and Ryan Hanigan drove in three runs with a three-hit game for Cincinnati. Bailey (1-0) developed a shoulder problem during spring training, forcing him to go on a throwing program. The righthander gave up four hits and one run in six innings, striking out seven. The Reds scored six runs in 52⁄3 innings against Brett Myers (1-2), who failed to go six innings for only the second time in 40 career starts with the Astros. Myers also left after 52⁄3 innings of a 9-1 loss in Cincinnati last Sept. 30. Mets 5, Giants 2 NEW YORK — Mike Pelfrey pitched into the eighth inning against San Francisco’s limited lineup and Carlos Beltran homered as New York averted a series sweep. San Francisco loaded the

bases with one out in the ninth against Francisco Rodriguez, but Miguel Tejada struck out and pinch-hitter Buster Posey grounded out to end the game. Jose Reyes lined a two-run triple and the Mets took advantage of more wildness from Jonathan Sanchez (2-2) to win for the second time in seven games. Pelfrey (2-3), expected to be the Mets’ ace while injured Johan Santana recovers this year, began the day with a 7.39 ERA. He gave up one earned run and four hits in 72⁄3 innings. Astros closer to DL CINCINNATI — The Astros put closer Brandon Lyon on the 15-day disabled list after an exam found a problem with his pitching arm and shoulder on Thursday. Lyon returned to Houston and had an MRI that showed tendinitis in his biceps and a partial tear in his rotator cuff, which can heal without surgery. The Astros called up right-hander Jose Valdez.

Reader endorses master antioxidant Dear Dr. Gott: I read your column every day in my local Arkansas paper. Your recent column talked about the antioxidant vitamins C and E; however, nothing was mentioned about the most powerful one of all — glutathione — that we were born with DR. PETER and decreases with age. GOTT Can you discuss this little-talked-about antioxidant? Dear Reader: Glutathione is reported to be the body’s master antioxidant. It is produced in the liver and plays an important role in metabolism. It is composed of cysteine, glutamic acid and glyceine, and is purported to help human cells function normally. It is found naturally in numerous meats, eggs, fruits and vegetables, such as asparagus, broccoli, avocado and spinach, unprocessed whey protein and milk thistle; however, the absorption rate of glutathione from all food sources in the gastrointestinal tract of humans is apparently low. It has been used for the treatment of heavy-metal poisoning, to increase the effectiveness of drugs for chemotherapy given for breast cancer, in lowering blood pressure in patients diagnosed with diabetes, for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and a great deal more. Research

projects for ALS, cancer, cystic fibrosis, asthma and a number of other conditions are under way with this antioxidant to investigate its potential for boosting the immune system, improving longevity, reduce chances for developing cancer, improving mental, heart and lung function, and increasing energy. While marketed as a nutritional supplement, there is little documentation to support the theory it actually increases levels within cells. In fact, in human studies, oral doses had minimal effect in raising blood levels. Supplemental vitamin C is reported more effective in increasing intracellular glutathione than the supplement is. Levels within the human body decrease with age, presumably at a rate of 1 percent per year after the age of 20. I’m not sure that I will rush out to my local pharmacy in the rain today for a bottle of glutathione, but never say never. 

Dear Reader: I don’t know without seeing it, but my first thought is eczema or psoriasis. My recommendation is that you see your primary-care physician or a dermatologist for a diagnosis. Once the lesion is examined, appropriate medication can be prescribed. While you are waiting for your appointment, be sure to keep your skin moistened. Treat the area with a petroleum-based product. If you bathe in a tub instead of shower, add Epsom salts or bath oil to the water. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online. His website is www.AskDrGottMD.com. United FeatUre Syndicate

I’m an 87-year-old woman with a circle about the size of a quarter on my right thigh, about four inches above my knee. All the skin around it is very smooth, but it is rough to the touch and appears to be flaking. Sometimes it is pale pink; other times it is an angry, dark pink. Occasionally, it itches. Neosporin and other creams don’t help. Can you?

The unusual can be hard to see BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

Charles M. Schwab said, “All successful employers are stalking men who will do the unusual, men who think, men who attract attention by performing more than is expected of them.” That applies to bridge men and women too. The thinkers are the winners. To show that you are someone Rodin might have used as a model, take the South cards. You are in three notrump. West leads the spade four. What would you do? The original declarer played low from the board to guarantee one spade trick. But after East took the first trick with his

queen, he returned a spade to West’s ace, and West led a third round to South’s jack. Now, though, declarer had no chance to find nine tricks. He played diamonds from the top, but East took his king and shifted to a heart. South had only eight winners: one spade, two hearts, three diamonds and two clubs. Yes, declarer was unlucky

that West won the second spade. Some would have ducked to dummy’s king to keep communication with his partner. But a thinking and counting South would have given himself a legitimate chance at nine tricks. He would have called for dummy’s spade king at trick one. And when he won the trick, he would have continued with the diamond nine for a winning finesse. Then he would have run the diamond jack, taken a third diamond finesse, and collected nine winners. What if East has the spade ace? Then playing dummy’s king should cost only an undertrick. An erudite East, looking at the diamond king, would not play the spade ace on dummy’s six at trick one; he would put in the nine.

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER A low pressure system moving through the Great Lakes will produce a cold front that extends down the Mississippi River Valley. This system will continue pulling in moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, which will allow for widespread scattered showers to develop across the Midwest and Great Lakes. Periods of heavy showers may develop along the front as it stretches down the Mississippi River Valley. This will bring more flooding problems to the Eastern Valleys. Evacuations will persist throughout the eastern Tennessee, as well as western Alabama and Missouri. As the system obtains additional energy from the Gulf of Mexico, these warm and humid conditions will produce showers and thunderstorms over the Southeastern states. There is a slight chance that these storms will turn severe. In the Northeast, a slow-moving low pressure system will linger over the extreme Northeast. Expect a few light rain showers to persist in Maine, northern Vermont, and New Hampshire. Out West, a ridge of high pressure remains the dominating weather feature for the Southwest. A trough of low pressure moves into the Pacific Northwest, kicking up a few scattered showers. However, warm and dry conditions in the Southwest will create favorable conditions for rapid fire spread. Winds up to 20 and 30 mph are likely across southern Colorado, New Mexico, and western Texas.
