BY SHAVONNE POTTS Tuesday is Confederate Memorial Day. By the end of the Civil War, 2,834 soldiers from Rowan County had served the Confederacy, more than any other county in the state. Likewise, North Carolina provided more soldiers than any other state. It’s not surprising that Confederate war dead are still honored locally, a recognition with special significance during the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War. The Rowan Rifles, Camp No. 405, of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, hosted a local memorial service Saturday morning to mark Confederate Memorial Day, which occurs each year on the date of Confederate Gen. Stonewall Jackson’s death. The commemoration is older than the national Memorial Day now celebrated later in May. Members of the Rowan Rifles began the morning by reading the names of Rowan citizens who served between 1861 and 1865.

Suspect wanted in double shooting BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
MOORESVILLE — Authorities are looking for a Mooresville man accused of shooting two men at a motorcycle gathering at the Mooresville Dragway late Saturday. The wounded men were both in serious condition Sunday evening. Deputies with the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office said that Courtney S. Davis and Edward L. Stewart of Waxhaw, both 28, had both been shot by a small-caliber gun. Investigators identified Quentin Odell Mathis, 28, as the suspect. Warrants were issued for Mathis on two counts of attempted murder. Deputies had not found Mathis Sunday night. Mathis was thought to be last living at 30 Selma Drive in Mooresville, in Iredell County, though he has also lived in Kannapolis. He is MATHIS believed to be traveling in a green Chevrolet Nova with 20-inch wheels. According to Detective Chad Moose, who was at the scene, the incident is thought to involve a domestic dispute. A Salisbury Post reporter made attempts to speak with witnesses and bystanders at the scene Saturday night, but many refused to comment.

Obama: ‘Getting our man’ outweighed risks of raid that killed bin Laden WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama ordered the commando raid that killed terrorist leader Osama bin Laden after deciding the risks were outweighed by the possibility “of us finally getting our man” following a decade of frustration, he said in a Sunday broadcast interview. The helicopter raid “was the longest 40 minutes of my life,” Obama told CBS’ “60 Minutes,” with the possible exception of when his daughter Sasha became sick with meningitis as an infant.

ago, Obama said he and top aides “had a sense of when gunfire and explosions took place” halfway around the world, and knew when one of the helicopters carrying Navy SEALs made an unplanned hard landing. “But we could not get information clearly about what was happening inside the compound,” he said. Public opinion polls have shown a boost in Obama’s support in the days since the raid, and his re-election campaign was eager to draw attention to the interview.

In the interview, Obama said that as nervous as he was about the raid, he didn’t lose sleep over the possibility that bin Laden might be killed. Anyone who questions whether the terrorist mastermind didn’t deserve his fate “needs to have their head examined,” he said. Obama said bin Laden had “some sort of support network” inside Pakistan to be able to live for years at a high-

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — The killing of Osama bin Laden, a man who was America’s face of evil for nearly a decade, left Christians, Jews and Muslims relieved, proud or even jubilant.

YESTERDAY: Kress Store 221 Here is a photograph from April 1927 of the sales staff of the S.H. Kress five-and-dime store at 300 S. Main St. Frances Rufty Barnhardt, who supplied the photograph to the Post, says her late sister Ann Rufty Glasgow is the fifth person from the right. The store opened Sept. 17, 1910 — Store 221 in the Kress chain. The building had an extensive renovation in 1936, and with those changes, the Kress store became the first in the company’s chain to have air-conditioning on the sales floor. The store closed in 1974. Developer Joel Goodman bought the historically significant steel and concrete structure in 2005 and transformed it into Kress Plaza. The $1.7 million renovation now offers residential condominiums and office/retail space.
Arms feeling flabby?: Time to work on toning Q. Wearing short sleeves, I really noticed my arms need toning. What can I do to tone my arms and not look like a man? A. The weather gets nicer and the clothes are getting shorter and you realize you might not have been as good as you should have through the winter months when our clothes were covering all. One thing that is very aggravating is when your arm continues to wave long after you are done waving. Of ESTER course, we cannot miracuMARSH lously change our arms overnight. It takes time, dedicated workouts and a balanced diet. Also to get the firm arms you want, you
have to increase your weight. Too many women are worried that when they lift weights their arms are exploding in size into body building/power lifting arms. I promise you, it takes a whole lot more to get the “manly” arms you said you do not want to have. To have definition in your arms your body fat has to come down to show the muscles. Today, let’s get into the workout to improve your muscles in your arms. To get the arms you want it is not just your arm muscles, which are the biceps on the front of your upper arm, and the triceps on the back of the upper arm. That’s the part that sometimes keeps on waving. Definition also requires toning of the shoulders, or the deltoids. Perform three sets of 10 reps with a
weight you can just do 10 reps. For shoulders: • Shoulder press. • Side lateral raises. • Front lateral raises. • Bent over flies. For Biceps: • Barbell curls. • Alternating bicep curls. • Cable curls. • Concentration curls. For triceps: • Tricep push down with the bar. • “Skull crushers.” • Over head triceps extensions. • One arm tricep kick backs. Be patient, don’t give up and don’t forget the rest of your body.

Fear of wild rides can be a healthy mindset
cientists say that our ancestors, in the very dim distance of time, left a swinging existence (not jazz, but something literally arboreal) to take up walking, running and sometimes marching in rank. I have had a lifelong uneasiness with amusement park rides which involve height and which could lead to vertigo, of the severe Hitchcock variety.

hibits of the Rowan County Fair, but not the rides. The one time that I accumulated enough courage to ride the Ferris wheel, the riding of it just confirmed my well-founded fear. Even riding it then in the early 1960s with my friend Ronnie, his friendship wasn’t enough to overcome my symptoms of panic. I remember Ronnie’s face registering smiles and enjoyment, while I was glad that there wasn’t a mirror around to reflect what was registering on my face. I did better when we rode the “scrambler.” It went around, but instead of transcribing a vertical circle like the Ferris wheel, its transcription was horizontal. The merry-go-round was fine, but if an older boy were to make a habit of riding it, he would have endured a great deal of ribbing from his friends. It’s funny how things can be interpreted differently at different times in one’s life. If I were to drive down to the Rowan County Fair this fall and ride the merry-go-round, someone might say: “What a special moment, an old man reliving his youth,” but if they were to inquire of me, I would totally burst their bubble of an “old man’s reverie” by answering:”You don’t understand; the reason that I’m riding the merry-go-round is because when it comes to rides, this is just about my speed.” Later on, during the East Rowan band trip to Washington, D.C., in 1966, when egged on by fellow band members, I tried something new again (the encouragement of peers is some-
times a dangerous thing; it makes one forget what his true nature is). My friend Howard and I rode a roller coaster together. When we finished, I think that Howard offered a prayer of thanks that we had survived, and I kissed the ground, as the Pontif is often seen to do when his plane has landed safely on the tarmac. I conquered my fear of the height of the Washington Monument in my ascent of its steps, since I was doing that for which I was adapted as a creature “walking.” While in college at Appalachian, I rode the Tweetsie chairlift with my late wife (with eyes closed and arms numb) up to what was then called “Magic Mountain,” where an animatronic giant slept in a pink castle. Just why the castle was pink, I don’t know. In Norse mythology there are giants and castles, as there are in some of the music dramas of Richard Wagner, but none of those castles happen to be pink. I did conquer the “sky buckets” at King’s Dominion theme park in Virginia with my late wife, Diane, and children, Rachel and Jeremy, but its traversal of the park, although at some height, was primarily horizontal in nature, qualifying it in my mind as a mostly horizontal ride, at just a different level in its relation to the ground. There was, however, one exception to rides of a horizontal and terrestrial nature inspiring no fear in me. That was the time that I caught a ride home from Appalachian with my friend
Randy, in which his traversal of the distance from Boone to Salisbury seemed to take just short of an hour and a quarter. My uneasiness on that trip wasn’t due to vertigo, but just garden-variety abject fear. I did manage to collect enough courage to fly in a plane when I flew with my late wife and our daughter to Walt Disney World and Epcot Center in 1983. Having grown up watching TV’s “Wonderful World of Disney” and seeing scenes of Disneyland on that program, a Disney theme park was always something that I had wanted to see. Perhaps the excitement about it being something which everyone should see before they die made me not reflect so much about the possibility of falling 30,000 feet to the earth and actually dying. For the most part, the flight was smooth, but when we hit some air turbulence, I had the sensation of feeling my stomach drop, giving me some second thoughts about my decision to fly. In reflecting on all of this, one of the things that defines life, especially where fauna are concerned, is the presence of motion. Even coral polyps and hydra have some movement. I always felt comfortable with the necessary amount of motion that defined me as a living thing, but when that motion involved the choice of height and the possibility of vertigo, I was most often content to do what my most distant ancestors, in that most distant and dim time long ago had done, “take to the ground.”

SPENCER — The Spencer Board of Aldermen will hold a budget workshop Tuesday night at the end of a regular monthly meeting. The board meets at 7 p.m. in Town Hall. Like many North Carolina towns and cities, Spencer faces a budget shortfall next year when the town’s tax base will decline 8 percent — from $211 million to $194 million — due to Rowan County’s revaluation process. To bring in the same amount of revenue next year, the town would have to increase its 60-cent tax rate to 65.6 cents per $100 valuation. Even then, the town would still face a deficit of $131,761. Aldermen have not yet set a tax rate and likely will discuss the issue Tuesday. Aldermen made a variety of cuts at their first budget workshop and have several more under consideration. Spencer may curtail backyard garbage pick-up and could begin charging fees to use townowned ballparks and picnic shelters, although board members have said they are not in favor of charging a fee to Little League. Also on Tuesday’s agenda: • Public hearing on an ordinance amendment (11-02 signage) • Reports from town departments, town manager, mayor and committees. • Public Comment • Stakeholders Report from RowanWorks Economic Development • Façade grant request from 111 Fifth St. • Senior Services overview • Façade grant policy • Discussion of solid waste collection • Ordinance amendment (11-04 leaf and brush collection) • Set date for public hearing on 2011-12 budget Contact reporter Emily Ford at 704-797-4264.
Perdue benefits from Democratic OKs for NC budget
recently had the opportunity to participate in a project that, in the end, will help to empower the women of Cameroon.
I was asked to take a disposable cam-
era and capture 25 images. In one day, through those 25 photographs, I was to tell the story of me: who I am, what defines me, what I love and what I am passionate about; what makes me, in a word, me. The “Who Are You?” project began last May during an Obakki Foundation trip to Cameroon. Treana Peake, founder of the Obakki Foundation and wife of Nickelback guitarist Ryan Peake, distributed disposable cameras to a group of women in Filipe, a tiny valley village, and asked them to take 25 pictures of the things that made them who they are. Peake told the women that she intended to take the photographs, publish them on the Internet and make them available for people around the world to see. The goal of the photographs was to help to raise money to help the women start their own businesses and in CYNTHIA turn better their lives. HOOPER The women left for the night and were to return the following morning with the cameras; but with only moments left before Peake’s departure from Filipe, none

Peake spoke of her disappointment in her blog. “With 15 minutes to spare, not one camera has been returned to me. As the group prepares to leave, I sit in the clearing, despondent and demoralized. I had such high hopes for this project. I suspect the rigors of their day impeded the women, and it’s like a vicious circle that can’t be broken. This trip has been harder on my body and heart than any other — I miss my family so much and I begin to wonder what kind of difference we’re really making. “And then, it happens. All of the women emerge from the jungle at once; cameras in hand; faces beaming; and
eyes aglow. I collect the cameras of these strong, brave women. They’ve taken a chance with me and I will not let them down. They’re all now very excited to be a part of this hopeful, creative and inspiring project. I thank them, saying, ‘You will no longer be silent. You can finally tell the story of you.’ ” Upon the group’s return to Vancouver, British Columbia, the film was developed, and the photos were remarkable. Peake found herself so inspired by the women and their pictures that she decided to include women from other countries in the project as well, hoping, she said, to further demonstrate our uni-

Kannapolis History Associates to relocate archive BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com
KANNAPOLIS — For 24 years, the Kannapolis History Associates’ task has been to preserve the history of a rapidly evolving city. Through the work of dedicated volunteers, the group has archived documents, collected textile memorabilia and photographs and established a genealogical reference base. Today, the organization has overcome setbacks and is growing in its quest to preserve and celebrate Kannapolis’ past. At last month’s annual meeting at Trinity United Methodist Church, retired Judge William Hamby and Martha Macon spoke on the importance of keeping history in mind as Kannapolis moves forward. The focus was integration. Those who spoke shared stories of racial integration at Cannon Mills and in the community. Goodman said that Kannapolis has been progressive while also keeping a focus on its past. Change has come quickly to KHA in recent months. Last November, the Cabarrus County Library announced that the history room
that had been housed at the Kannapolis branch since 1992 would have to move. Talks led to the decision to relocate the collection to Rotary Hall at 211 West Ave., a more central downtown location. “Final arrangements, inventory and coordination with the Cabarrus County Library are in the works now,” Goodman said. Goodman said he hopes the new Hinson History Room at Rotary Hall will be open to the public by mid-June. Tom Kincaid, president of the Kannapolis Rotary Club, said he’s excited about having the history collection under the same roof as one of the city’s oldest service organizations. “We couldn’t be prouder,” Kincaid said. The group remains hard at work. One of KHA’s current projects is relocating and preserving one of the “maids’ houses,” small one-room homes for domestic workers. They were usually located in the backyards of supervisors or overseers who worked in the mill, or those of other prominent citizens, Goodman said. Funds raised at the annual meeting helped preserve one such house to be relo-

The Kannapolis History Associates expects to move their archives and exhibits to the new Hinson History Room at Rotary Hall by early June.
RALEIGH (AP) — Five conservative Democrats stirred North Carolina’s budget pot when they broke party ranks and joined House Republicans to support a spending plan that ends temporary sales and income tax increases but also threatens thousands of education and state jobs. The defections raised the number of yes votes for the $19.3 billion proposal to 72 — the magic number the House would need to reach to cancel any veto by Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue if she balks at a final plan. At first glance, last week’s switches seemed to weaken Perdue, who had won several partisan dustups earlier this session because House Democrats stayed united after her vetoes. It had Senate Republicans, who start in earnest this coming week writing their competing proposal and already have a veto-proof majority, considering whether to change strategy from a new position of GOP strength. “We look at that as a very significant development,” said Sen. Pete Brunstetter, R-Forsyth, one of the Senate’s chief budget writers. But the defections could be the best thing to happen to Perdue to engage a Republican Legislature. Two of the five Democrats — Reps. Jim Crawford of Oxford and Bill Owens of Elizabeth City — are veterans of the budget battles when the Legislature was in Democratic hands and get along with Republicans. With their yes votes, they likely will be part of the final negotiations in the House and Senate and help fight for changes that Perdue could accept. “We can be beneficial in helping negotiations take place and reach some middle ground,” Owens said, a close ally of the governor and fundraiser for Perdue’s re-election campaign. “We feel like we’re playing a valuable service to help negotiate from the middle.” With one absent House Republican last week, four of the five defectors would have to remain in place to stay at 72 votes should Republicans decide to pass their own budget without Perdue’s input and override her veto. That’s a tall order for the GOP when there will be intense pressure by the five to back the governor. It may explain why Perdue sounded confident last week the five Democrats would return to the fold. “In no way does it affect my ability,” Perdue said at a Raleigh high school. “I have no reason at all to believe when hard choices are made about the future of North Carolina — about kids and teachers and community colleges and the future — that they won’t be with me if those choices have to be made.” That’s not to say Republicans got nothing from the defections, or the five Democrats voted with solely selfless intentions. House Speaker Thom Tillis, R-Mecklenburg, got to brag about the bipartisan support for the bill that he said will encourage job creation through $1.6 billion in expiring taxes or new tax breaks. And by persuading some Democrats to vote with the Republicans, the GOP gained leverage over Perdue. “It puts us in a better position,” said Rep. Mitch Gillespie, R-McDowell, co-chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. It also couldn’t hurt for the five eastern North

Treana Peake chats with Docas, a little girl who has become her friend at Hotpec orphanage in Buea in May 2010.
WHO FROM 3a versal similarities, regardless of location or conditions. When Peake asked for volunteers, I offered right away. Though we have never met personally, we have worked on projects together in the past, and it started with her helping me. In 2007, I spoke with an old friend from high school about her cousin who was stationed in Iraq. He had recently had the opportunity to call home from Iraq to speak to his wife. Instead of talking about himself during the call, he could not stop talking about the Iraqi children who lived near where he was stationed. He was deeply bothered by their lack of educational supplies. Basics like pencils and paper were nonexistent, crayons were a dream; sticks and sand, that was what they used to learn. He and others in his troop hoped to find a way to help them get some of the supplies they so desperately needed. I wondered how these children would have a future if they didn't even have the basics for an education. Then all of a sudden, I decided to do something about it. I organized a school-supply drive, asking my local friends, as well as people I had met on the Internet, to help. The response was great and donations came in quickly. While gathering supplies, an online friend that I had met at a concert joked around, suggesting I should ask the band to help with my school-supply drive. Having met the band on several occasions previously, I knew that they would if I asked, so I used the power of the Internet to ask them, in a roundabout way. I knew that the wife of the band’s guitar player, Ryan Peake, ran a charity for children in Canada and I contacted her through the organization with the request. We emailed back and forth several times, and she spoke of her and her husband’s desire to do something for the children of the world and that they were currently working to find a project that would enable them to make a large impact. She spoke with her husband and they offered to send some things for the troops to include with the school supplies. A few weeks later, I received a package filled with autographed goodies from the band for the platoon. I knew then, from our emails, that Treana Peake was going to make a huge difference in the world and that someday we would end up crossing paths again. In 2009 Peake, also the owner of Obakki Designs Inc., created the Obakki Foundation based in Vancouver, British Columbia. The Obakki Foundation partners with international organizations whose goal is to empower individuals, groups and communities at a grassroots level to make a positive change. In her first blog post, she explained why she
formed the Obakki Foundation: “I started the Obakki Foundation because of the 2year-old orphan girl I met living on the streets in Romania, because of the baby that died of malaria one night when I was in Cameroon, because of a homeless Vancouver man that bought me a Christmas present. “I started the Obakki Foundation because of the little boy who held my daughter’s hand in Mexico City as he was dying, because of my seven hour walk with six village women to get water for their children, because of George, who died because his disabilities didn’t qualify him for a heart transplant. “I started the Obakki Foundation so that people like you and I can come together and through small actions create big results. “The Obakki Foundation is a place for compassionate people to share thoughts and ideas that can help make a difference — in distant corners of the world or their own backyard. “The Obakki Foundation offers people hope, empowerment and a chance to learn and grow. It’s about giving people the opportunity to be creative—using thoughts, ideas, art and fashion to stand up and participate in improving the lives of those who need it most. “I started the Obakki Foundation because I don’t want to wait a single moment longer before starting to improve the world. I hope you will join me in this adventure. Please check in often and let us know what you are thinking and how you would like to participate.” In no time at all, the organization was building schools in Cameroon and bringing fresh water to places it had never been before. They assisted with medical needs, and their impact was immediate. It was impressive the success they had in getting things done so quickly and efficiently. The other thing that impressed me was that 100 percent of all donations made go directly back to the projects that are supported by the Obakki Foundation. The members of Nickelback were one of the first major contributors to the foundation and donated over $500,000 from ticket sales to help further the success of the organization. Ryan Peake has made several trips to Africa with his wife to check on projects that are ongoing there. In December 2009, Peake asked supporters of the Obakki Foundation for donations of school supplies to take to the villages where they had been working. I immediately went into fundraiser mode, a payback of sorts for her having believed in what I had been doing a few years earlier. My friends were kind enough again to make donations and, using my unbelievable shopping skills, I was able to turn a small amount of money into over $600 worth of kids’ books,
backpacks and school supplies. It was a wonderful feeling knowing that I could return the support she had given me when I asked for it. It took nearly a year for the supplies to get through customs and reach the remote villages, but when I saw the pictures of the children in Africa, with the things I had sent, it was fantastic. I knew when I was given the opportunity to participate in the “Who Are You” project that I would actually be helping someone half a world away without making a cash donation or by physically helping to build a school or dig a well, but just by being myself, and a great sense of worth came along with that. My disposable camera came in the mail and I got ready to take pictures, but all in one day? One day to sum up my entire existence? Forty years all in 24 hours, there was so much to try to fit in. My husband, my children, my family and my community all in one day. My many jobs — writing for the newspaper, managing an online book business and being a hands-on historic restoration-ista. Then there were the many things that I am passionate about, like keeping the earth clean and recycling. But all in one day, I wasn’t sure how I would do it. With my husband on camera duty, I started on the roof of my 120-year-old house, which is in midrestoration, tearing off aluminum siding someone had installed over the original clapboard and then another picture of me scraping the peeling lead paint from the original crown mouldings under the eaves. Next I went to the scrap yard, where I asked a stranger, who must have thought I was pretty strange, to take a picture of me unloading the metal debris from the truck, the giant mountains of crumpled cars and old claw foot tubs behind me as far as they eye could see. After that, we took the kids down to the creek at the neighborhood park and filled up a few trash bags with garbage that was laying around and took a couple more pictures. We played some basketball and took a break on the swings for a few minutes. There is a picture of our dogs, our house, the family just being silly, some of me working at my computer and even one of me climbing the library ladder to pull books for shipping. I also took a picture of newspaper articles I have written. It was a long day, but in the end I realized that there is not much difference between my hectic day and the way the women in Filipe spend their days. We all seem to love our families and work hard to make their lives better, and we all want to do our part to make the world a better place.

The nostalgic charms, which can be bought with or without a bracelet, are miniature re-creations of Kannapolis’ historic landmarks. The first round of charms includes the Gem and Swanee theaters, A.L. Brown High School, G.W. Carver High School, the historic Cabarrus Courthouse and Gary’s Barbeque. Also available are a replica of the What-A-Burger sign and the neon Cannon Mills sign that once graced the roof of Plant No. 1. Goodman said the hand-designed charms were chosen to represent some of Kannapolis’ best-loved landmarks. Churches and community
groups could contact KHA about having a charm made of their own beloved landmark. “All charms are designed, handcrafted and made by Windsor Gallery jewelry store in Salisbury,” Goodman said. Goodman said the charms can also be used on necklaces or as lapel pins or tie tacks. “By purchasing the charms you can wear history and support the KHA.” More information on the Kannapolis History Associates, and on the charm bracelet fundraiser, is available at Kannapolishistory.org or 704-796-0803.

Questions raised about spending by NC tourism exec CHARLOTTE (AP) — A newspaper’s analysis shows that Charlotte’s tourism agency has spent thousands of dollars on lavish gifts for business leaders, local public officials and people in its office. Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority chief Tim Newman told The Charlotte Observer that he has to spend money on potential convention clients to make money for the city. “Hospitality is our business, and the more people we have educated and enthused about helping us sell Charlotte, the better off everybody in Charlotte is,” Newman said. The newspaper says some of the expenses included $4,600 in tickets to New York Yankees games as well as dinners and alcohol. The hospitality and tourism industry pumps about $4 billion a year into Mecklenburg
PERDUE FROM 3a could help them gain support from Republican voters. Rep. Dewey Hill, D-Columbus, one of the five, said in an interview he voted for the bill in part because it did some good things for agriculture. Others acknowledged amendments that addressed public school construction or specific concerns in their districts. For Rep. Bill Brisson, DBladen, it was the removal of his local minimum security prison from a list of four set for closure. Rep. Tim Spear, DWashington, got a pair of amendments passed to benefit Ocracoke Island. Owens said he was treated well in the budget subcommittee on which he served. “I had as much voice in it as I felt the Republicans did,” Owens said, but added the bill has shortcomings that would cause him to vote against a final plan unless they’re corrected. “Do I think there’s enough money in the budget for education? No.” Owens said he’d just prefer to let an extra penny on the
and surrounding counties. The money used to promote the city comes from a tax on hotel and motel rooms that generates about $23 million a year and a 1 percent tax on prepared food and beverages that raises $20 million. “Tim and his team have done a fantastic job not only for the hotels but for the community,” said Sid Smith of the Charlotte Area Hotel Association. “I can’t fathom any other team being able to pull that off.” In response to criticism from Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx, the authority’s governing board hired accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers last week to review policies and organizational structure. The consultants will be paid $25,000 and will work with the authority through June 2. Among the questioned ex-
penditures was dinner for four at Del Frisco’s steakhouse that came to $898.22. The invitees were the president and two employees of a Charlottebased natural gas company. Newman it was a thank-you dinner for help in getting the Southern Gas Association to hold a convention in Charlotte. Newman said it was rare to visit such an expensive restaurant, but added that he has to try different restaurants to know whether he can recommend them to potential clients who are visiting. Jane Pinsky, director of the North Carolina Coalition for Lobbying and Government Reform, said that and other expenditures seemed excessive. “This is like the Supreme Court and obscenity,” she said. “I can’t tell you what it is, but a meal for $900 means the line has been crossed.”
sales tax remain in place rather than expire to fix education cuts Democrats argue would eliminate more than 18,000 public school positions. That’s probably a nonstarter in negotiations because Republicans are resolute on eliminating the tax. Gillespie said there’s pots of money available in the House budget — through emergency and government building repair reserves and the annual retirement contribution — that could be used to resolve spending differences
with the Senate — and possibly in turn with Perdue — on things like education and the Smart Start child education initiative. With the Democrats, Gillespie said he anticipates the Democrats who voted yes on the House budget — particularly Owens and Crawford — will have a significant role to play in the final negotiations to determine whether Perdue will veto or accept the spending plan. “I guarantee that they will be in the room,” he said.

E N T E R TA I N M E N T
Do you kids want some cheese with that whine? invisible —whenever they whined. It worked like magic. As promised, in just three days our boys became non-whiners. It was not so, however, for their mother. I had my own style of whining. I whined in my thoughts and attitudes. “We don’t make enough money. I want everything everyone else has. I don’t want to wait; I want it right now!” I whined my way into fancy new cars and things like a mink jacket. I whined until I got what I wanted and then whined about our miserable financial condition. Whine, whine, whine, whine, whine. Even on the road to financial recovery, I whined, blamed and complained: “It’s too hard; I want to be a stay-at-home mom; it’s just not
fair; I just can’t take this anymore.” One day, out of complete frustration with myself and recalling those sessions with my kids, I sat myself down and looked myself straight in the eye. “Stop whining! I cannot listen to you when you whine, because it gives me a headache.” I went on to repeat some of my whining, and that shocked me nearly to death. Holding up a mirror to reflect back my attitudes and behavior did not create a pretty picture. No wonder I couldn’t shake my sense of misery. As long as I was willing to see myself as the victim of my circumstances, I was not fully responsible; it wasn’t my fault. In a short time I, too, became a non-whiner. So tell me: Are you a whiner? Are
you into blaming and complaining? Are you still carrying on about your divorce, those huge medical bills, your youthful ignorance, sudden unemployment and life’s totally unfair circumstances? I have a suggestion. You should sit yourself down, look yourself straight in the eye and say: “Stop whining! I cannot listen to you when you whine, because it gives me a headache.” Refuse to listen anymore. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. As long as you see yourself as a victim, things will not change. You will never fix your problems while you blame others for your circumstances. Whatever your situation, regardless of the details, you are responsible. You can choose thoughts that
SAT tests might be standardized, but people aren’t Dear Amy: My boyfriend and I are both 17 and juniors in high school. We were friends for more than a year before we started dating. Now we are totally in love and can see ourselves living together for the rest of our lives. I have been working hard this year to make good ASK grades and to AMY score well on my SATs. On the other hand, my boyfriend does not have enough credits to take the test; he also doesn’t work very hard for his grades. I have told him that if he works hard now, he will do great in the long run (I have been telling him this for the past month).
He says he’ll try, but I don’t see any effort. His parents couldn’t care less about college. I told him that he must go to college and that failing the SAT is not an option. In order to get into college, he should have excellent grades and good test scores. The fact that he isn’t trying his hardest now makes me think he won’t try his hardest later on in life (in order to support a family). I’ve told him that if he does not work hard, I might not be there in the future, even though I really feel like we could last forever. How else can I get him to really understand how big of a deal this is? And what should I do if he still doesn’t try hard enough? — In Love Dear Love: Here’s an SAT
question for you: You are your boyfriend’s: A) baby sitter B) girlfriend C) mommy The correct answer is B. Your guy is not a Gumby doll that you can bend and mold to your own design. You are not in charge of his schoolwork, college plans or work ethic. You cannot fulfill his potential for him. Although many a young slacker has been positively influenced by a more mature and focused romantic partner, your boyfriend will not grow up any faster just because you tell him to. Imagine what it would be
like if he never changed. If you would still want to be with him, regardless of his weaknesses and faults, then stay with him.

As the mother of two young world-class whiners, I thought the behavior modification techniques described in the little book appeared too simple to be taken seriously. In desperation, however, I decided to give the anti-whining program my best shot. The three-day program required that I say to them in a firm yet gentle manner, “Stop whinMARY ing! I cannot listen to HUNT you when you whine, because it gives me a headache.” I then restated in a grown-up voice how they needed to communicate. On the third day, I was to ignore them —as if they were

Instrument of Satan Howard has no doubt that bin Laden was an instrument of Satan brought to justice with the aid of God, who answered the prayers of millions. “We should pray for bad people, evil people, that when we pray to God he will change their lives. But if he won’t change their lives, especially those who have a lot of power to hurt a lot of people, you pray for their end because they’re causing so much pain,” he said. “You pray somehow God will take them out. The Bible is very clear that God is in control and every person in power is because God put them there. He can put them there, he can keep them there or he can take them out. That’s his prerogative.”
CHARGED FroM 1a According to a report by Trooper M.T. Eason, Barber was “unsteady on his feet, had a slight odor of alcohol, his speech was slurred, had difficulty understanding instruction and performed poorly on the standard field sobriety test.” Barber refused a field breath test and was taken to Rowan Regional Medical Center to have blood drawn for testing, an arrest warrant said. It may be months before results are known. Since he refused a breath test at the scene, Barber’s driver’s license was automatically revoked for 30 days.

We don’t know whether there might have been some people inside of government, people outside of government.” He said the United States wanted to investigate further to learn the facts, “and more importantly, the Pakistani government has to investigate.” Some members of Congress have called for a cessation of U.S. aid to Pakistan, at least until it becomes clear what role, if any, the government played in bin Laden’s ability to avoid detection for years. But Obama said that since the Sept. 11 attacks, “Pakistan has been a strong counter-terrorism partner with us” despite periodic disagreements. The president was guarded in discussing any of the details of the raid, and offered no details that have not yet been made public. Discussing his own role, he said the decision to order the raid was very difficult, in part because there was no certainty that bin Laden was at the compound, and also because of the risk to the SEALs. “But ultimately, I had so much confidence in the capacity of our guys to carry out the mission that I felt that the

School. The next day he resigned from his teaching job. Barber told the Post at the time he left the school early that day and told administrators he was resigning “to pursue other opportunities.” He has since begun farming in western Rowan. Barber pleaded guilty to driving while impaired in June 2008 after being found in February of that year passed out in his car near the corner of Sherrills Ford and Long Branch roads. His blood alcohol content was .18, more than twice the legal limit of .08. County commissioners can only be required to resign if convicted of a felony. Driving while impaired is a misdemeanor.

risks were outweighed by the potential benefit of finally getting our man,” he said. Two influential lawmakers rebutted calls for a cut-off in American aid to Pakistan, an inconstant ally in the long struggle against terrorists. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said: “Everybody has to understand that even in the getting of Osama bin Laden, the Pakistanis were helpful. We have people on the ground in Pakistan because they allow us to have them. “We actually worked with them on certain parts of the intelligence that helped to lead to him, and they have been extraordinarily cooperative and at some political cost to them in helping us to take out 16 of the top 20 al-Qaida leaders with a drone program that we have in the western part of the country,” he said. The senior Republican on the committee, Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana, said: “Pakistan is a critical factor in the war against terror, our war, the world’s war against it, simply because there are a lot of terrorists in Pakistan.” He also noted that the nation possesses nuclear weapons, and said a cut-off in aid could weaken the United States’ ability to make sure they do not fall into the hands of terrorists. Kerry strongly defended the president’s decision to order the raid, and the shooting death of bin Laden. The administration has of-
fered shifting accounts of the events that unfolded in the 40 minutes the Navy SEALs were inside bin Laden’s compound, most recently saying the terrorist mastermind was unarmed but appeared to be reaching for a weapon when he was shot in the head and chest. “I think those SEALs did exactly what they should have done. And we need to shut up and move on about, you know, the realities of what happened in that building,” Kerry said. National security adviser Tom Donilon said, “I’ve not seen evidence that would tell us that the political, the military, or the intelligence leadership had foreknowledge of — of bin Laden” being in the country. He said the U.S. has asked the Pakistani authorities for access to people whom the SEALs left behind in the compound, including three of bin Laden’s wives. The U.S. also wants access to additional materials collected there. Officials have said the SEALs took voluminous computerized and paper records when they choppered out of bin Laden’s compound. Donilon likened the amount of information retrieved to the size of a small college library. Donilon also sidestepped when asked if waterboarding and other so-called enhanced interrogation of detainees had produced information that led to the successful raid against bin Laden’s compound. “No single piece of intelligence led to this,” he said.

He was issued a written promise to appear in court while at the Rowan County Magistrate’s Office. He was no longer listed as an inmate in the Rowan County jail early today. He will have a first court appearance Wednesday. Barber, who is currently being investigated by the SBI, is accused of taking a $2.99 bottle of wine from a local convenience store.

Justice served Before the sermon, Qazwini said Muslims are discouraged from showing jubilation over death, but cheering the news of bin Laden’s demise marks an occasion where “justice was served.” At Armitage Baptist Church on Chicago’s near west side, Pastor Charles Lyons told his congregation Sunday that sometimes “evil must be stopped.” “We do not rejoice in the death of the man named Osama bin Laden (but) ... truth provides a platform for justice,” he said. Church member Angelia Parker said bin Laden’s death should have been a time for contemplation, not cheering in the streets. “I think that was kind of weird,” said Parker, who was passing out roses to mothers after the service. “It was like, ‘Are you kidding me?’ We are celebrating this person’s death? We didn’t celebrate in the streets when Saddam Hussein was killed.” The Rev. Bill Kelly, priest at Saint Mary of the Assump-

Judge, chaplain of the Fire Department of New York and the first recorded victim of the Sept. 11 attacks in the city. After Mass, Mimnaugh cited comments published in America, a weekly Catholic magazine. The Rev. James Martin, a Jesuit priest, wrote that “no matter how monstrous” a person is, “as a Christian, I am asked to pray for him and, at some point, forgive him.” Other religious leaders felt compelled to say at least a few words about bin Laden on the first weekend of worship since he was killed. Some focused on moving on and working toward peace, while others spoke approvingly of a death they said marked a blow for justice. The Rev. David Howard shouted his approval — in a sense — from outside his church in Virginia Beach, Va. “OSAMA BIN LADEN, SATAN AND THE FINAL VICTORY OF JESUS,” read the marquee outside Brook Baptist Church, publicizing the sermon Howard started writing hours after he heard that a team of Navy SEALs based in Virginia Beach killed the alQaida leader.

The leader of one of the nation’s largest mosques was equally direct during prayers Friday. “There is no doubt that this man was a thug, he was a murderer,” Imam Hassan alQazwini told worshipers at the Islamic Center of America in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn. “His hands were stained by the blood of thousands of innocent people — Muslims and non-Muslims alike.” Qazwini, who delivered his sermon in a large, circular hall filled to capacity, said the Quran is clear that someone who kills one innocent person “is doomed to hell forever.” And the imam was particularly incensed that bin Laden “committed atrocities against innocent people ... while he was calling ‘Allahu akbar,’” or “God is great.” “He’s responsible for tarnishing the image of Islam in this country,” he said. “We’re happy to see the man who caused so much pain for Muslims in this country is gone ... finally.”

The current proposed N.C. House budget would eliminate veterans affairs funding to counties. This should be done only as a last resort and after entitlement programs are eliminated first. Do not take from veterans while giving to others who have done nothing to serve this country. In addition, should this funding be cut, then there will be no need to keep the Department of Veterans Affairs and its staff in Raleigh. What would their job consist of if no funding is sent to the counties? Providing a service from the DVA office in Raleigh after cutting county funding is somewhat hypocritical. To deprive state and county veterans of this necessary service would be not only a political mistake but a sacrifice to the veterans and their families who look to these services for help. National veteran service organizations like the Disabled American Veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Vietnam Veterans of Foreign Wars and others provide a veteran service officer; their budgets are also stretched, but they understand how important these services are and continue to provide this service. It is the lifeline of these organizations. I urge our state lawmakers to vote NO to stop funding to the counties. — Rodney Cress Salisbury

Real annexation reform missing What is appalling to me is the inability of the members of the North Carolina General Assembly to try for true annexation reform. True annexation reform requires that any annexation must be approved by those being annexed before the annexation is completed. There are four bills in the General Assembly, but only one requires a mandatory approval before annexation. The bill requires a mandatory voter referendum for approval of those being annexed before the annexation can be completed. One bill has a provision where 60 percent of the property owners must say no to stop the annexation, a provision that

may be unworkable. Another bill has a provision where if you get the signatures of 5 percent of the voters or 500 voters, whichever is less; then a referendum is called to approve the annexation. The final bill is mute on approval of either the voters or the property owners. I’m not sure of the logic behind the General Assembly’s failure to call for a mandatory voters’ referendum or mandatory property owner approval. There has been some conjecture that the governor would not sign a bill requiring either a mandatory voter referendum or mandatory property owner approval. What the governor will or will not sign is pure conjecture until the governor is presented with a bill containing the mandatory requirement. I believe that it is time to eliminate the conjecture and present the governor with a bill containing a mandatory voter referendum or a mandatory property owner approval requirement. The only bill that we have meeting this requirement is Senate Bill 627, Annexation Reform, submitted by Sens. Jim Davis and Tom Apodaca. It is time we got behind this bill. — Ray Shamlin Nash County

Preserve funding for veterans affairs
Citizens of Salisbury have a lot to celebrate in their downtown. I had a blast at last week’s “Friday Night Out,” signing copies of my new novel “Mercy Creek” at the Literary BookPost. Its owner is the real deal — Deal Safrit — and so are the folk who stopped by for chats: a Catawba College professor, a retired psychiatrist, a young mother followed by her blonde daughter with a sky-blue tongue, thanks to the Italian ice she got from vendors on the street. And the street! It was filled with friendly firefighters, bouncing moon walks, street bands, open shops and free parking. If you have never been to a Friday Night Out, you don’t know what you’re missing! Kudos and thanks to the people of Salisbury. I’ll be back. —Matt Matthews

I’m a senior at Salisbury High and a member of Youth In Action Against Tobacco as well as Salisbury High’s TRU (Tobacco Reality Unfiltered) club. TRU’s funding is under fire from our legislature, and lawmakers have proposed to take funding that was set aside for tobacco prevention efforts. If this budget and House Bill 200 pass, it will abolish the Health & Wellness Trust Fund’s tobacco prevention education program. I have been a member of TRU for seven years. Currently, we have 12 school-based TRU clubs and one community-based TRU club in Rowan County. These TRU advocates promote a tobacco free environment at their schools as well in their communities. The community-based TRU club members are trained and go into schools, churches and other organizations and educate youth and adults on the dangers of tobacco use. TRU is a youth led and youth empowered educational program. TRU is visible in Rowan County. We are in Earth Day fesitvals, parades, La Fiesta de Rowan, summer camps for youth, health fairs,

reedom of speech is a wonderful thing. Libel and slander are not so wonderful. In the online world, people often think they have a reasonable amount of anonymity. Emboldened by this perceived anonymity, people are typing things that they would never type if their name was attached. Although most comments on message boards are constructive voicing of opinions, some comments are mean, vicious and legally actionable. Some people are willing to make malicious comments under the mistaken assumptionthat their identity is concealed. But that’s not the case. Comments are permanently burned into cyber space, with a unique fingerprint called an IP address. There is a growing trend among those being slandered by anonymous comments to fight back — and the victims are winning. When Donald and Janet Maxon decided to convert their Illinois home into a bed and breakfast, their local newspaper covered the story. An anonymous commenter called “FabFive from Ottawa” posted that the couple had attempted to bribe the local planning commission. The couple filed a defamation lawsuit, but first they had to find out the identity of the anonymous commenter. The newspaper tried to protect the identity of the commenter, but lost. The Illinois court ruled that the comment was libelous and not protected as free speech. The court ordered the newspaper to reveal the identity of “FabFive from Ottawa.” In Indiana, the former CEO of Junior Achievement of Central Indiana, Jeffrey Miller, found himself in a similar situation. When a story ran about potential misuse of funds by the nonprofit, anonymous comments on the Indianapolis Star, WRTV, Dick Huffman is an and the Indianapolis Business Journal acattorney in Saliscused the former CEO bury. of being “greedy” and “committing a criminal act.” Miller retained an attorney who argued that “the Internet is not a license to defame people and treat them in a mean-spirited way that harms them psychologically and economically.” The media groups fought to protect the IP addresses of the anonymous posters. They cited the state’s shield law and the First Amendment but lost. Marion County Judge S.K. Reid ordered that the news outlets turn over the IP addresses. Indianapolis Business Journal did so immediately. It was revealed that several anonymous posters were Miller’s former employees. They were sued, along with their new employers, because the defamatory comments were submitted on work computers during work hours. After the ruling, Miller’s attorney stated “All it is (is) cyberbullying. And these kind of individuals need to understand there is accountability for that kind of behavior.” But, this is Illinois and Indiana right? Could the same type of disclosure be ordered in North Carolina? Yes, it could — and it has! Last year, a news group in Vance County posted a story about substandard housing owned by a former county commissioner. The story resulted in several defamatory anonymous blog comments accusing the former commissioner of being a slumlord who should be jailed. The former commissioner served a subpoena to the local news group requesting the true names of those who posted the libelous comments. The attorney for the media outlet filed a motion to quash the subpoena, arguing that the shield law in North Carolina and the First Amendment protected the anonymous posters from being identified. The attorney for the media outlet also argued that the former commissioner was a “public official.” It was expected for “public officials” to face criticism. Thus the media outlet argued that it should not disclose the names of people who posted the anonymous comments. Judge Howard Manning Jr. thought otherwise, and found the comments both defamatory and actionable. He ordered the media outlet to disclose the names and true identities of the bloggers within 15 days. In his order the judge wrote, “This case involves allegedly defamatory statements posted on the internet by anonymous bloggers. ... The right to speak anonymously, on the Internet or anywhere, is not absolute and there is no right to freely defame other persons.” Anonymous online comments are not so anonymous after all, even in North Carolina.

New Mississippi flooding brings back old memories GREENVILLE, Miss. (AP) — As the crest in the Mississippi River rolls toward the heart of the Delta, the great flood of 1927 is on a lot of minds. On April 21 of that year, an engorged Mississippi River broke through a levee a few miles north of Greenville, sending a wall of water down Main Street, forever changing this area’s landscape. Homes were crushed, sharecroppers’ farms were carried away, thousands were trapped on rooftops for days and hundreds died. Residents in Greenville believe they are safe this time, but 75 miles south in Vicksburg, people wonder whether history will repeat itself. Near the site where the Yazoo River empties into the Mississippi, forming a wishbone-like shape, predictions are the water will overtop the tributary levees by more than a foot. Even worse, the levees could fail. “All they done is put Visqueen (polyethylene sheet) there to stop the levee from being cut in two,” said Larry Fuller, a wiry 65-year-old farm manager swapping news with neighbors at Chuck’s Dairy Bar in Rolling Fork, which sits in between Greenville and Vicksburg and is expected to be hard-hit. “We could lose the whole Delta if that levee breaks.” The situation is grave, but Gerald Galloway, a University of Maryland civil engineer and former Army Corps officer, said residents should have confidence in the main levees that hold the bulk of the river. However, he issued a stern warning. “There is no such thing as never: it’s not a word when you’re dealing with the river.
An old Army Corps of Engineers general said that the best preparation for a war is fighting the river, because it’s always looking for a place to defeat you and it’s 24-7 in its activity,” he said. John Barry, the author of “Rising Tide,” a definitive book on the 1927 flood and a board member of the levee authority in New Orleans, agreed that the levees would likely hold, but said any breach would be bad news. “Once a breach begins to occur, if you’re not totally on top of it immediately with enormous resources, you are in trouble,” Barry said. “There’s a lot of water in that river, and it’s going to keep coming for days, if not weeks. It’s not a hurricane where you have a few hours of storm surge.” The 1927 catastrophe occurred after relentless rain the previous year, followed by more precipitation in the spring. Levees were busted much farther upstream than Mississippi, but the breach at Mounds Landing was the most destructive. The nation vowed to never again see Americans suffer in a flood of that kind. During an era driven by racism, blacks built levees at gunpoint, starved in refugee camps and many were left to fend for themselves during the flood, while whites favored for rescue. Following the disaster, Congress got the Army Corps of Engineers to build a 2,203mile long levee system on the river, but even that work has been called into question after Hurricane Katrina, when corps-built levees busted and water filled most of New Orleans, killing more than 1,600 people.
“When you have a series of failures as you see with Katrina, and the interstate bridge in St. Paul, people are going to ask, ‘What’s happening?’ ” said Galloway, the civil engineer. “The thing to do is to modernize and upgrade our infrastructure.” At Greenville, the site of the 1927 levee break, families arrive night and day at the old riverfront to take pictures of the current flooding. The yacht club is underwater. So, too, is Archer Island, and the honky tonks and towns out in the basin. The third-floor of a casino boat, lifted by the swollen Mississippi, can be spotted from the stools at the Southern Nights Bar & Grill on Main Street. “I don’t think that levee will break,” said James Shoffner, the bar owner. “If it floods, I’ll try to get all the whiskey out.” On the other side of the downtown levee, water has reached higher than rooftops and is still rising. “The people living in the Delta are facing the biggest threat from flooding that they’ve ever faced in their lifetime,” said Cass Pennington, the president of the Delta Council, an economic development agency. “You’re talking about schools underwater, highways underwater.” The pending flood is grinding the Delta to a halt. “Right now, I’m shortstaffed,” said Larry Jue, a 63year-old storekeeper working the cash register at his family’s 70-year-old grocery store, the Sam Sing & Co. Store. The family cooperative has been on the town square in Rolling Fork for as long as anyone can remember. With no flood insurance and his relatives getting older, a flood could be the end.
La Nina brings flood risks, drought to the West SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The winter and early spring have been extreme across the West, with record snowpacks bringing joy to skiers and urban water managers but severe flood risks to northern Utah, Wyoming and Montana. And despite all the wet weather in the Rockies and Sierra Nevada, parts of eastern Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona are in severe drought and gearing up for what is forecast as a bad fire season. In New Mexico, some 400 fires, driven by relentless winds, have already raced across 315,000 acres. Credit — or blame — for the extreme weather goes mostly to a strong La Nina, which is associated with cooler than normal water temperatures in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean and an atmospheric flow that’s causing drier than normal conditions in the Southwest and wetter than normal in the Northwest.. “This winter has been fairly unusual,” said Laura Edwards, a research climatologist at the Desert Research Institute in Reno, Nev., in what can only be considered an understatement. Randy Julander, supervisor for the Utah Snow Survey, described more colorfully the disparity between the snow buried, flood endangered parts of the West and those that are parched and burning: “They’re wishing they could get a little of what we have. (The wet weather) just continues to get worse. At this point, all you can do is open the chute, let her buck and hope your butt stays glued to the saddle.” Julander was referring to the coming melt with snowpacks at 200 percent of normal or higher throughout northern Utah. One lower-elevation area in the mountains 50 miles east of Salt Lake City is at 750 percent of normal — with another big storm headed to the region early this week. “The sandbagging is in place. They’ve cleared the channels. Everybody is just sitting around chewing on their nails,” Julander said. In Colorado, the city of Denver and Loveland Ski Area are separated by a mere 75 miles. Yet, the city, east of the Rockies on the high plains, has had only 21.8 inches of snow this season, the second-lowest in history with records dating back to 1882. Loveland, at the top of the Continental Divide, entered the weekend within four inches of breaking its season snowfall record of 572

a sign in Greenville, Miss., secures the levee road along Lake Ferguson. the Mississippi river tributary is expected to raise several feet as the water starts to crest. sightseers have turned the levee into an attraction as they come to see the flooding of the Greenville Yacht club. “I don’t want to leave,” he said. “I’ve been thinking about that. Would I come back or not? I may not. Usually a flood like this, people leave and don’t come back.” Rolling Fork, home of the bluesman better known as Muddy Waters, is also in the area where Theodore Roosevelt came across a black bear on a hunt in 1902 and refused to shoot, earning him the nickname “Teddy Bear.” At the south end of the Delta, flooding is a regular event — it happened in 1973 and as recently as 2008 — but it’s always been contained to the swampland outside the levees. This is not your typical flood, though. The Army Corps of Engineers has already taken extraordinary measures by
blowing up a levee in Missouri, and it plans to unlock spillways in Louisiana that have rarely had to be opened. Last week, about 1,200 people at a meeting in Rolling Fork were advised to evacuate. That followed warnings by Gov. Haley Barbour that catastrophic flooding, a levee break, was possible. For the past week, workers have been fighting trouble spots on levees. “Our levees are going to hold. Greenville won’t see water. But our neighbors to the south are poised to get a lot of floodwater,” said Greenville Mayor Heather McTeer Hudson. Near Mount Landing, now one of the most fortified spots on the river, 68-year-old Ruby Taylor Miller talks about feeling safe, waving her hand at
the levee built after the disaster. Her grandfather was a sharecropper on the Delta Pine & Land cotton plantation when the levee broke. He told her stories of saving his six grandchildren from the raging waters and surviving on rooftops for days. He watched cows frantically swim through the waters and rescuers arrive in boats. “Oh, my goodness, do I need to get more insurance? I asked myself that the other day,” the retired schoolteacher said. She, like scores of others, doesn’t have flood insurance. “I feel like the levees are in better shape than they was in, and they’re watching it pretty close,” she said. “Unless the levee breaks, then all bets are off.”
Cellphone ‘pocket dials’ 911, NY suspects caught CLAY, N.Y. (AP) — An ill-timed, inadvertent 911 call led police to three men overheard planning break-ins. Onondaga County Sheriff Kevin Walsh says police already looking for a suspicious person got the unlikely assist when one of the
men “pocket dialed” his cellphone’s emergency number. As a dispatcher relayed the conversation to deputies, the men discussed their plans, described their surroundings and even commented, “there go the cops now.”

Vallon Vajgrt, 14, and his dad dee, background, dig out their donner Lake home on March 25 in truckee, calif. inches (some 49 feet, set in 1995-1996). “It’s almost a record low for one and a record high for another. You get the idea how extreme that is,” said Kevin Houck, an engineer with the Colorado Water Conservation Board. “If I were a water manager, I’d be very happy about this.” Pat Mulroy definitely is. She oversees operations at the Southern Nevada Water Authority and the Las Vegas Valley Water District, responsible for water to local agencies that collectively serve 2 million residents and nearly 40 million annual visitors As recently as last fall, the plunging levels of Lake Mead outside Las Vegas were dangerously close to triggering a mandated “shortage” declaration on the Colorado River system, which would have required both Nevada and Arizona to reduce water use. But because so much snowmelt will be flowing into the Colorado River this year, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation announced recently it is releasing an extra 3.3 million acre-feet from upstream Lake Powell to Lake Mead. The additional flow into Mead is roughly 14 times the amount of Colorado River water Las Vegas and surrounding areas used last year. “I’m delighted, absolutely delighted,” said Mulroy. In Utah, Snowbird Ski Resort set its all-time snowfall record two weeks ago with 711 inches — more than 59 feet. It could stay open as late as July 4. The flip-side is that major flooding has become a worry at lower elevations in northern Utah, where snowpack is well above what it was during the massive floods of 1983 that caused $250 million in dam-
age. Crops were wiped out, homes and businesses damaged and State Street in downtown Salt Lake City became a river for two weeks when an underground pipe couldn’t contain the flow of City Creek. Interstate 80 was flooded and levels in the Great Salt Lake rose within eight feet of the runways at Salt Lake International Airport. A big melt-off in a short time frame would make situation dire. In Wyoming, communities are already placing sandbags in anticipation of potential flooding. Last year, the state got a wakeup call when flooding damaged bridges, roads and homes and required the Wyoming National Guard to deploy 400 soldiers to help. In Montana, Gov. Brian Schweitzer declared a flood emergency for one county in the northeastern part of the state where spring melt has caused flooding along the Milk River, particularly near the city of Glasgow and where the river meets up with the Missouri River. In California, the wettest winter and spring in more than a decade is great news on various fronts. It prompted state officials to boost the amount of water available to agencies that supply 25 million California residents and almost a million acres of farmland, with Gov. Jerry Brown officially ending the state-imposed drought declaration. Arizona hopes the monsoon season will have kicked in to alleviate severe drought conditions in the southern part of the state. Federal land managers have yet to impose fire restrictions in Arizona, but it’s a different story in New Mexico.

Riots drag Muslim-Christian relations to new low
TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Cars sat abandoned in mileslong fuel lines, motorists traded angry screams with soldiers guarding gas stations, and many shops were closed Sunday on what should have been a work day. In ever-multiplying ways, residents in the Libyan capital are feeling the sting of shortages from uprising-related disruptions of supplies. The shortages are a dramatic sign of how Libya’s nearly 3-month-old rebellion — and the resulting chaos — is affecting daily life in Moammar Gadhafi’s stronghold and other western areas of Libya still under his rule. International sanctions have begun to bite, many supply routes are unstable, and there are shortages of skilled people in some sectors to keep the city running smoothly. Yet the deprivations — however irksome — pale in comparison to the situation in the port city of Misrata, the only rebel stronghold in western Libya. It has been under siege by land for two months, with hundreds of civilians killed, and Gadhafi’s forces are now trying to block access to the port that is Misrata’s only lifeline. In Tripoli, the shortages were obvious, even to Western reporters who may only leave their hotel with a government minder and guard. It is less clear what the eventual impact might be on Gadhafi’s ability to rule.
Pentagon struggles with $53 billion health care price tag WASHINGTON (AP) — A military built for fighting wars is looking more and more like a health care entitlement program. Costs of the program that provides health coverage to some 10 million active duty personnel, retirees, reservists and their families have jumped from $19 billion in 2001 to $53 billion in the Pentagon’s latest budget request. Desperate to cut spending in Washington’s time of fiscal austerity, President Barack Obama has proposed increasing the fees for working-age retirees in the decades-old health program, known as TRICARE. After years of resisting proposed increases for the military men and women who sacrificed for a nation, budgetconscious lawmakers suddenly are poised to make them pay a bit more for their health care, though not on the president’s terms. The current fees, unchanged in 11 years, are $230

Some hundreds of Christians and Muslims hurl stones at each other during clashes near the Corniche in Cairo, Egypt on Sunday. The clashes on Sunday come hours after ultraconservative Muslim mobs set fire overnight to a church and a Christian-owned apartment building in a frenzy of violence that killed 12 people and injured more than 200. a year for an individual and $460 for a family. That’s far less than what civilian federal workers pay for health care, about $5,000 a year, and what most other people in the U.S. pay. Obama is seeking a fee increase of $2.50 per month for an individual and $5 per month for families, which approaches the current price of a gallon of gasoline. Future increases starting in 2013 would be pegged to rising costs as measured by the national health care expenditure index produced by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which projects 6.2 percent growth.
Prince and Clementi alerted nation to bullying crisis BOSTON (AP) — Phoebe Prince was a recently arrived Irish immigrant, 15 and emotionally fragile, when high school bullying over two boys she dated apparently drove her to hang herself with a scarf in her Massachusetts home. Tyler Clementi was an 18year-old violinist with a bright future. He jumped off the George Washington Bridge into the Hudson River after his roommate at Rutgers University allegedly used a webcam to spy on his same-sex liaison. They never met each other, but together their ordeals put a spotlight on the harm caused by bullying and helped strengthen laws to crack down on what had until then been treated as a rite of adolescence. “This prosecution has also shattered the myths that bullying is just part of growing up, that it affects only a small number of kids, and that kids can work it out themselves,” said David Sullivan, a prosecutor in the Prince case. “The era of turning a blind eye to bullying and harassment is over.” Last week, five teenagers charged in the Prince case admitted in court that they participated in her bullying. In plea deals with prosecutors, they received probation and were ordered to perform community service. If they successfully complete their probation, the charges will be dropped. A statutory rape charge against a sixth teenager was dropped.
‘Thor’ smashes competition, opens with $66M weekend LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Thor” kicked off the summer movie season by smashing the competition at the box office with a $66 million opening weekend. The 3-D action picture from Paramount, based on the Marvel comic, was by far the No. 1 movie, according to Sunday studio estimates. Australian actor Chris Hemsworth stars as the arrogant god of thunder who’s sent down to Earth as punishment. It was directed by Kenneth Branagh, best known for making films based on Shakespeare plays such an epic “Hamlet,” and featured a supporting cast that included Anthony Hopkins, Natalie Portman and Stellan Skarsgard. In second place was a holdover from last week, the car-racing sequel “Fast
Five” from Universal Pictures. It made $32.5 million for a total of nearly $140 million in just 10 days. Although the opening for “Thor” wasn’t as enormous as those of other superhero movies, it still exceeded stu-

CAIRO (AP) — Relations between Egypt’s Muslims and Christians degenerated to a new low Sunday after riots overnight left 12 people dead and a church burned, adding to the disorder of the country’s post-revolution transition to democracy. The attack on the church was the latest sign of assertiveness by an extreme, ultraconservative movement of Muslims known as Salafis, whose increasing hostility toward Egypt’s Coptic Christians over the past few months has met with little interference from the country’s military rulers. Salafis have been blamed for other recent attacks on Christians and others they don’t approve of. In one attack, a Christian man had an ear cut off for renting an apartment to a Muslim woman suspected of involvement in prostitution. The latest violence, which erupted in fresh clashes Sunday between Muslims and Christians who pelted each other with stones in another part of Cairo, also pointed to what many see as reluctance of the armed forces council to act. The council took temporary control of the country after President Hosni Mubarak was deposed on Feb. 11. After the overnight clashes in the slum of Imbaba, residents turned their anger toward the military. Some said they and the police did almost nothing to intervene in the five-hour frenzy of violence.

Glover golden at Quail BY DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press
CHARLOTTE — Lucas Glover figures he has played more than 100 rounds with Jonathan Byrd, from junior golf when they were teenagers to their years together at Clemson and nearly a decade on the PGA Tour. The stakes were never as high as they were Sunday in the Wells Fargo Championship. Glover was never better. Clinging to a one-shot lead, Glover closed with three gutsy pars of the bruASSOCIATed PReSS tal finishing stretch at Quail Hollow, slamLucas Glover watches his tee shot on the 18th hole at Quail ming his fist when he made the last one Hollow on Sunday. from 7 feet for a 3-under 69 and what
looked to be a sure win. Then came Byrd, with two great pars of his own, followed by a shot into 15 feet that he made for birdie on the 18th for a 72 to force a playoff. Glover wound up a winner with a par on the first extra hole, ending a drought of 41 tournaments that stretched nearly two years back to his U.S. Open win at Bethpage Black in 2009. It was the eighth playoff this year on the PGA Tour, and the third in a row. “I’m elated,” Glover said. “Any time you win, you’re pleased. It means you beat everybody.

Hornets play for CCC title
One goal
BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — At a school where they’re stacking championships like cordwood, Salisbury baseball doesn’t attract much attention, but the Hornets have stayed more than respectable in an era when schools with similar demographics are struggling to compete on the diamond. With seniors Philip Tonseth, John and Knox MADDOX S p e n c e r Carmichael enjoying tremendous seasons, Salisbury (13-10) is on its way to its fifth winning campaign in the past seven years under coach Scott Maddox, who took the helm in 2001. The one thing that has usually eluded some pretty good SHS teams is hardware for the trophy case. The Hornets tied for the CCC regular season title in 2008 and won the CCC tournament in 2006, but that’s about it. Salisbury has a chance to change that trend tonight when it plays host to East Davidson at 7 p.m. in the tournament championship game. The Salisbury-East Davidson baseball rivalry has been a fantastic one over the years, if you grade rivalries based on the degree of difficulty of predicting a winner.

Salisbury golfers want state title they missed out on last season BY RONNIE GALLAGHER rgallagher@salisburypost.com

BY MIKE LONDON CHINA GROVE — If you hear a basketball bouncing somewhere in Rowan County, there’s a good chance one of Nick Houston’s hands is attached to it. The ultimate gym rat, Houston made a successful transition from bomber to all-round player during his career at Carson. A shooting guard who is almost 6-foot-3, he averaged 18.2 points a game as a senior to rank third in the county. He recently signed with Catawba after seriously considering reuniting with his former Carson buddy Darius Moose at Brevard. “I think Nick’s gonna be good for Catawba, and Catawba’s gonna be good for Nick,” said Carson coach Brian Perry, who played for the Indians in the 1990s. Assuming the Indians’ re-
SALISBURY — Dale Snyder marveled at the demeanor of his Salisbury golf team when it won last week’s 2A regional by 12 strokes. “I’m like, ‘Hey, this is a great accomplishment. Let’s enjoy this,’ ” Snyder said. “To them, it was just another day at the office.” That’s because the Hornets have had only one thing in mind since the season began: last year when they let a state championship slip through their fingers. Salisbury enters today’s 2A title event at Longleaf Country Club in Southern Pines focused on the big prize. Nothing less than a state title matters. “They’re very confident,” Snyder said. “I don’t tell them a thing. They know every day when they wake up what they had. They know it was right there in their hands.” • Salisbury was in position to win it all last season. The Hornets led by eight strokes after Day 1 and with North Lincoln coming on strong, the teams hit the back nine. That’s when Snyder noticed Clark Alcorn didn’t look right. “I see Alcorn hit a shot and he started using his umbrella as a crutch walking down the
Clark Alcorn and the Hornets will play for the 2A title today and Tuesday in Southern Pines.

Smith can forget his near misses
turning guards stay healthy, the plan is for Houston to redshirt the 2011-12 season. Houston expects PERRY Catawba to have a scholarship available for him beginning with the 2012-13 campaign. Houston’s strength is a terrific outside shot. His playing time will depend on how much the rest of his game continues to grow. He made great strides as a senior, rising from a good player to an exceptional one. Aside from West’s Keshun Sherrill and Salisbury’s Darien Rankin, it would be hard to identify anyone else in the county who was any better, night in and night out.

DARLINGTON, S.C. — Regan Smith wasn’t sure he’d ever come as close to winning a Sprint Cup race as he did three years ago at Talladega Superspeedway. Now, he can’t imagine he’ll spend much more time thinking about that 2008 near miss after gaining his first series victory in the Southern 500 on Saturday night. Smith was denied victory at Talladega when NASCAR ruled he ran below the yellow line on a late pass of Tony Stewart. This time, Smith survived a green-white-checkered finish at Darlington Raceway. “Winning here means more to me than that (Talladega) win ever could’ve meant,” Smith said. “I don’t think I’ll go to bed tonight thinking about Talladega, that’s for sure.”
Smith started the race in 23rd and was still outside the top 10 with under than 70 laps to go. But he stayed out on old tires during a caution nine laps from the end to take the lead and held off series points leader Carl Edwards in the two-lap overtime to win for the first time in 105 career starts. “I’m not supposed to win this race. I’ve never even had a top-five. I guess in this series, it just shows anyone can win,” said Smith, whose previous best this season was a seventh at Daytona. While the 27-year-old Smith, was celebrating, tempers erupted behind him after Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch and Clint Bowyer tangled in an accident that set up the finish. After the race, Harvick

Drye had size, agility BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — China Grove athletic legend Carl Drye passed away recently at 72, and the length of the line at the visitation spoke volumes about how much the big-hearted man meant to a lot of people. When sports fans speak of the DRYE good ol’ days at China Grove, Drye is usually the second name that enters the conversation, right after coach Lope Linder. Maybe the biggest compliment anyone could’ve paid Drye was offered by his rival and friend, Leroy Scercy, whose own death preceded Drye’s by a matter of weeks. Scercy played in a lot of states against a lot of people, but he told me last fall the games he looked forward to the most in his multisport career were the ones in which his A.L. Brown teams competed against Drye’s China Grove squads. Drye was that good, and he always brought out the best in Scercy, especially in the epic 1955 meeting in which both led tremendous football teams. Drye and Scercy both made the 1955 All-State team chosen by the Greensboro News & Record, and for a China Grove boy to be recognized in Greensboro, he had to be special. Drye was the first from China Grove to earn that honor. He was also the first from his school to be selected for the Shrine Bowl and the East-West All-Star Game. Drye was sort of a 1950s version of Charles Barkley or Randy White, a man impossibly agile and light on his feet for his imposing size. Drye’s old friend and teammate Richard Snider estimated the titanic, two-way tackle was at least 250 pounds by his senior year in high school, and he may well have checked in at 275. Whatever his exact poundage, he was huge for his era. Legend has it that much of Drye’s size came from taking advantage of the 68-cent plate lunches at P.J. Miller’s. Two plates were usually enough for Drye, but not always. Despite that size, Drye enjoyed proving he could be devastating in small-man’s sports such as badminton and Ping-Pong, and he was a terrific bowler. Drye played some basketball for China Grove’s Red Devils, and he was almost as good in baseball — that’s what he dearly loved — as football. And he wasn’t a catcher or first baseman — he was an oversized, graceful second baseman, who could turn the double play like
he weighed 150. Drye’s only baseball regret was that he didn’t stick with the 1955 Salisbury American Legion team that went on to play in the World Series. Drye made that team in tryouts, but he wasn’t a starter, and he left early to get ready for China Grove’s football season. Linder had correctly advised him that it was in football that he was going to attract a college scholarship. Drye’s senior football season included eight wins and two gutwrenching losses to A.L. Brown and South Piedmont Conference champion Albemarle. People who were there claim that it had to be the best team the Red Devils ever put on the field. China Grove dominated the line of scrimmage in its game with the Wonders, but lost when Scercy returned a punt 90 yards late in the game. China Grove lost 19-12 at Albemarle in a game that most of southern Rowan traveled to see. Drye told me last fall, “We wanted to beat Albemarle so bad we could taste it. That one hurt.” Duke won the recruiting battle for Drye. His career wasn’t long, but he did get to play for the 16thranked Blue Devils against fourthranked Oklahoma in Miami’s Orange Bowl in the game that concluded the 1957 season. He played a lot at guard in 1958 for the Blue Devils and earned a letter. In his career, he played at Notre Dame and LSU in front of crowds roughly 30 times the total population of China Grove. Needless to say, Drye also tried out for the baseball team while he was in Durham, eager to prove to coach Ace Parker that what he really needed to make some noise in the ACC was a 250-pound second baseman. Drye got a kick out of his baseball tryout story and never tired of retelling it. Parker, to say the least, was extremely skeptical that Drye could play second base at his size. “Hit me some balls and find out,” Drye told him. Parker, getting angrier by the minute, hit him a few hundred. Drye fielded them all cleanly, and Parker had to find a jersey big enough for his new second baseman. He returned to Rowan County after his Duke days and enjoyed successful careers in the business and insurance fields. His sons, John and Chris, were exceptional players in their own right at South Rowan. Drye managed the Linn-Corriher softball team for 15 years and was a tremendous softball player locally in the late 1950s and early 1960s when fast-pitch softball was huge in the area. Usually, he challenged for the league batting title. Always, he played second base.
Linza wins eighth game for Liberty From staff reports
Liberty’s Keegan Linza was the winning pitcher in the Flames’ 15-3 victory against UNC Asheville on Saturday. Linza (8-3) hurled six innings and allowed one run and two hits. Linza has a team-best 2.31 ERA for the season and has walked only 19 in 852⁄3 innings.

Bobby Parnell (East Rowan) had a Southeast’s girls soccer team tied successful outing in extended spring training on Saturday and could be Erwin 1-1. Karla Frogoso’s corner set back with the Mets by the end of the up Kylie Cox for the Southeast goal. Southeast’s boys rolled against week. He’s had a finger injury. Erwin 5-0. Silvestre Lopez scored twice, while Aaron Lippard, Jose Prep softball Viveros and Geovani Hildalgo scored Prep softball tournaments are this one goal apiece. Brandon Flores had week, and a playoff spot will be de- two assists, while Lopez had one. Southeast’s tennis team edged termined today. The CCC gets four playoff berths. Salisbury and Erwin 5-4.
BASEBALL FROM 1B In the last 10 meetings, both schools have claimed five hardearned victories. The last home-and-home regular season sweep in the series was by Salisbury in 2008, but East Davidson evened things up by beating the Hornets in the CCC tournament in both 2009 (title game) and 2010 (semis). As far as this season, Salisbury pounded East Davidson 14-7 at home — Tonseth was the winning pitcher and belted a grand slam — but the Golden Eagles avenged that loss with a 4-3 Senior Night victory in Thomasville behind ace Tyler Lequire. East Davidson skipper Dan Tricarico has been around even longer than Maddox. He led the Golden Eagles to a 1999 2A state championship and has been voted CCC Coach of the
Year four times. East Davidson hasn’t won the league regular season crown since 2001, but after some lean years, Tricarico, always a class act, whether he’s 20-4 or 6-18, has his program back in the hunt. While a trophy and bragging rights are certainly at stake tonight, the biggest prize on the table is the CCC’s No. 2 seed for the 2A playoffs. Salisbury will be the league’s No. 4 playoff seed if it loses tonight and will play at the Rocky River No. 2 seed on Friday. A win would keep the Hornets at home Friday against the Rocky River No. 3. East Davidson is No. 2 if it wins, but No. 3 if it loses. This school year, Salisbury athletic teams claimed 11 of 18 regular season CCC championships. SHS baseball, which hasn’t had a CCC Player of the Year honoree since 1989 or the CCC Coach of the Year — ever — wouldn’t mind joining the fun.

SPORTS DIGEST
Mavericks oust Jackson, Kobe Associated Press
DALLAS — So long, Phil. So long, 122 chances for Mavs 86 a n o t h e r Lakers L a k e r s three-peat. Hello, Western Conference finals for Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks. Jason Terry tied an NBA postseason record with nine 3pointers and the Mavericks matched a league playoff mark with 20 3s on their way to a 122-86 victory over the Lakers on Sunday, giving them a sweep of their secondround series against the most successful coach in NBA history and the two-time defending champions. Terry made five 3s in the second quarter, personally outscoring Los Angeles 20-16 in the period as Dallas went ahead by 24 at halftime. When Terry made 3s on consecutive possessions early in the third quarter, he drained whatever comeback hopes the Lakers had left. Their frustration spilled early in the fourth with vicious cheap shots by Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum
that got them ejected 45 seconds apart. By then, the 65-year-old Jackson knew it was over — the game, the series and his remarkable career. “It’s been a wonderful run,” he said. The Zen Master is retiring again, and he says it’s for good this time. The sour taste of his first sweep in 21 postseasons, and his second-widest margin of defeat, can’t override all the sweet days. A Hall of Famer since 2007, he leaves with a record 11 titles, and only 10 series losses. Take away Red Auerbach, who won nine championships, and Jackson won more titles than any two coaches combined. He won six championships with Michael Jordan, three with Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal, and the last two with Bryant leading the way. He had to be talked into coming back this year. The lure of chasing a 12th title, bundled neatly as four threepeats, did it, but he knew it would be tough with a team worn down by three straight years of reaching the finals.
Hawks win at home Associated Press

Jason terry rises high to fire a jumper for the Mavericks, who completed a sweep of the Lakers on sunday. “(That) puts a lot of strain on the basketball club from all angles: personalities, spiritually, physically, emotionally, and getting charged up for game after game and assault after assault when you go in and play a team,” Jackson said. “It was a challenge bigger than we could beat.” Four of Jackson’s five kids flew to Dallas for this game, in case it was the end. On Saturday, Jackson called that “a drag that I don’t need,” but by Sunday afternoon he was probably happy to have them
around. They sat near the Lakers bench, wearing yellow hats with Roman numerals marking his 10th and 11th championships. Then there was his extended family — his coaches and players, especially Bryant. “I grew up under him,” Bryant said. “The way I approach things— not only basketball, life in general — comes from him. It’s a little weird for me to think of what next year is going to be like.”
Capel comes back to Duke
PGA FROM 1B Against this field and on this golf course and in a tournament of this magnitude, I’m thrilled.” And against one of his best friends? That might have helped. Glover, in his first PGA Tour playoff, felt a sense of calmness playing against Byrd, who had won his last two tournaments in extra holes. And it showed. In regulation, Glover hooked his tee shot so far left that it settled under a spectator. He was given a drop, then watched the ball roll down the bank toward the stream as he got ready to hit it. Because he never grounded his club — that was his plan, given the lie on a side of a steep hill — he played the next shot without penalty. “Better stance, worse lie,” he said. He managed a 6-iron just over the green, hit the most difficult chip he had all day to 7 feet and escaped with another par. In the playoff, however, Glover striped his tee shot down the middle and twoputted from 25 feet. Byrd, who went from a fairway bunker to the hazard left the green — just short of the stream — hit a difficult chip 25 by the hole and wound up with a bogey. “I’m a little disappointed just because you’re here to win,” Byrd said. “You love to compete, especially when you get in a playoff. You birdie the last, you feel like, ‘Hey, this is just going to work out.’ “If I couldn’t win, I couldn’t pick anybody else I’d want to win other than Lucas, so I’m very happy for him.” Glover, who finished on 15-under 273, became the first player in the nineyear history of the tournament to post all four rounds in the 60s. He never would have seen this coming. He has been going through a divorce the past several months — “I’ll probably leave that over there, if it’s all right,” he said, declined to comment on his personal life — and had only one top 10 over the last year. He missed the cut in his last three events and didn’t have much confidence when he showed up at Quail Hollow. But he figured out Tuesday on the range that the club wasn’t square, it felt better Wednesday in the pro-am and off he went. This wasn’t the U.S. Open, although the way he was tested over the final hour of a wild day, it felt just as difficult. Rory Sabbatini, who closed with a 65 and was 13-under 131 on the weekend, wound up alone in third.
ATLANTA — The Atl a n t a Hawks 100 Hawks fi88 nally won Bulls a secondround playoff game at home. They can thank a guy who frequently gets booed by the home fans, and a young guard who wasn’t supposed to be playing much at all. Josh Smith answered his critics with a huge game — 23 points, 16 rebounds and eight assists — and fill-in Jeff Teague came up with the Derrick Rose-like plays down the stretch to lead the Hawks past the Chicago Bulls 100-88 Sunday night, evening the Eastern Conference semifinals at two games apiece. The Hawks snapped a nine-game home losing streak in the second round, their misery dating to a May 13, 1996, win against Orlando. Smith is frequently criticized by Atlanta fans for his inconsistent play. He heard nothing but cheers in this one, staying away from the outside jumpers, dominating on the inside and finding the open man with crisp passes. “There are people who don’t understand the game, who don’t know the game.
That doesn’t faze me,” Smith said. “My teammates matter more than anybody else. They believe in me. They have confidence in my game. When I was in my rut, they told me to stay positive, to stay in the game, just do what I’d been doing all season long. I stayed with it and had the game I had tonight.” Teague has been an even bigger surprise filling in for injured Kirk Hinrich, playing with the poise of a veteran instead of someone who played infrequently during the regular season and first round of the playoffs. He scored 12 points and doled out four assists, putting the capper on a late 10-0 run that broke open a game that had been intense all the way. “He’s playing great,” said Hinrich, who’s watched this entire series in dress suits because of a hamstring injury. “Obviously he has ability. He’s fast. He’s good at finishing up around the rim.” Driving toward the hoop with Kyle Korver draped all over him, Teague flipped up a shot as he was falling down. It banked in, giving the Hawks a safe lead, 94-84, with 1:26 remaining. The second-year player bounced off the court with a big smile, bumping teammates on the way to the bench.

Petty’s charity ride has begun Associated Press
SKANEATELES, N.Y. — It’s almost 11 years to the day since Adam Petty was killed during practice for a NASCAR race at New Hampshire International Speedway, and his dad never escapes a special feeling of sadness when May and Mother’s Day roll around. “What goes through my mind at this time of year more than anything else is my personal loss,” Kyle Petty said as he prepared for the start of his 17th annual charity motorcycle ride. “When you lose a child or you lose a son, it’s pretty hard on a family. It’s a sad time of year, but being around people on the ride and being able to help people during this week has a little bit of a healing effect.” Adam Petty, just 19, was killed on May 12, 2000, only weeks after running in his only Cup race, a debut that had made the Petty family the first four-generation family in NASCAR. Kyle Petty, a devotee of motorcycles, started his charity ride in the 1990s, and it normally has been a trek from the West Coast across the country. This year, for just the third time, the ride is going from north to south. It began Saturday morning in Lake Placid, N.Y., and the first day was to traverse the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, including a stop at Watkins Glen International, before ending in Corning, N.Y. Petty and 175 motorcycle riders — including Brad Daugherty, former NASCAR star Geoff Bodine and Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker — also will make overnight stays
in Farmington, Pa.; Irvington, Va.; Wilmington, N.C.; and Mt. Pleasant, S.C., before completing the 2,400-mile trip in Amelia Island, Fla. The ride originally was targeted to benefit children’s hospitals and has raised over $14 million in 16 years. But four years after Adam Petty’s fatal crash — on Father’s Day 2004 — stock car racing’s first family opened Victory Junction Gang Camp, a summer camp in North Carolina for children with life-threatening illnesses modeled after Paul Newman’s Hole in the Wall Gang Camps. The camp is a way to honor Adam Petty, who rode with his father on a couple of the charity motorcycle rides before he died. “It’s funny how everything evolves,” Kyle Petty said. “We started with a charity ride visiting children’s hospitals, and when he passed away some people came up and said we want to do something to help remember Adam. It’s funny how the ride evolved into what it is because of him.” The ride also serves as a sort of catharsis for Kyle Petty, now a television commentator on auto racing broadcasts. “There’s so many great memories,” he said. “The best part of the ride is the fans that come out at the fuel stops. That’s the fun part because you know that instead of those fans coming to you, you’re going to those fans. “The second best part is just riding a motorcycle and seeing the country. When you’re in a car, you’re looking out the windows. When you’re in a plane, you’re looking down. When you’re on a motorcycle, you see everything.”
Red Wings stave off elimination Associated Press
SAN JOSE, Calif. — The Detroit Red Wings are coming home with a Red Wings 4 chance to take a step toward Sharks 3 history. Suddenly, that seems well within reach. Tomas Holmstrom broke a tie with 6:08 remaining, and the Red Wings scored three third-period goals to avoid elimination with a 4-3 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Sunday night. “There’s a lot of character on this team. There’s not any quit,” said Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard, who made 39 saves. “Our season was on the line there in the third period, and we found a way.” Danny Cleary and Jonathan Ericsson also
scored in the final period to send the series back to Detroit for Game 6 on Tuesday night. After winning the first three games, San Jose is clinging to a 3-2 lead. Logan Couture, Joe Pavelski and Devin Setoguchi scored to help the Sharks take a 3-1 lead early in the third period. Then the Red Wings scored two quick goals before Holmstrom redirected the winner past Antti Niemi, leaving a sellout crowd stunned and silent. Niklas Kronwell also scored and Pavel Datsyuk added three assists for Detroit. “I think you put yourselves in a very dangerous position if you get back on your heels against that team,” Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. “I didn’t think we did that tonight. They just outplayed us in the third period.”
DURHAM — Former Oklahoma coach Jeff Capel has taken a job on the Duke staff. Coach Mike Krzyzewski said Sunday that the former Blue Devils guard will be one of his assistant coaches. Capel spent the past nine seasons as a head coach at Virginia Commonwealth and then Oklahoma. The Sooners fired him in March following their second consecutive losing season. Krzyzewski calls Capel "a great fit in our program." He scored 1,601 points as a four-year starter in the 1990s. To make room, Krzyzewski shifted Nate James to special assistant. James' role will not include on-court coaching. Capel becomes the fourth Duke team captain on Krzyzewski's staff, along with James and associate head coaches Chris Collins and Steve Wojciechowski.
TENNIS MADRID — Tennis will be without a top-10 American man or woman next week for the first time in the 38-year history of the sport's rankings. Serena Williams is now ranked 10th but is projected to drop out. She hasn't played since winning Wimbledon last July and could drop as low as No. 19 in the next WTA rankings. This will mark the first time since the men's list was created in 1973 and the women's list in 1975 that no American is represented. American Bethanie Mattek-Sands, ranked 41st, says the U.S. needs to change the way it develops players and cites things such as pressure, burnout and work ethic for the rankings.

HOCKEY BRATISLAVA, Slovakia — Alex Ovechkin is set to join Russia's team at the ice hockey world championship in Slovakia after his Washington Capitals were eliminated from the NHL playoffs. The forward had 32 goals and 53 assists in 79 games and 10 points in nine postseason games. The Capitals made the announcement two days after the Tampa Bay Lightning swept the series against Washington 4-0. It will be Ovechkin's seventh world championship appearance for Russia. Russia has six points in the second round of the tournament and is in good position to advance to the quarterfinals with two more games to play.

DARLINGTON, S.C. — James Hylton, at age 76, became the oldest driver to make the field in NASCAR's top three series by qualifying for the Nationwide event at Darlington Raceway. Hylton surpassed his own mark for racing longevity set three years ago when the then-73-yearold started the Nationwide event at Daytona. Hylton is racing for JD Motorsports and started 43rd in Friday night's Royal Purple 200 after qualifying was washed out by afternoon rain. Hylton first raced in NASCAR in 1964 and has won twice in the Sprint Cup series, the last at Talladega in 1972. He remains active in the ARCA series, finishing 19th in points in 2010.
NEW YORK — Major League Baseball and its players' association are considering a formal plan for dealing with alcohol-related incidents in the next collective bargaining agreement. Alcohol use has become a hot-button issue in baseball, following a spate of six drunken-driving incidents involving high-profile players already this season. The current CBA, which expires Dec. 11, has provisions for dealing with "drugs of abuse" such as cocaine and marijuana, but does not provide Commis-
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Gold medal gymnast Peter Vidmar stepped down as chief of mission for the 2012 U.S. Olympic team after a controversy over his opposition to gay marriage. Vidmar said in a release that he's dedicated his life to the Olympic movement and its ideals, and he did not want distractions caused by his religious beliefs to take away from the U.S. team at the London Games. Vidmar, 49, won two gold medals at the 1984 Olympics.

ASSOcIATeD PReSS
crew members celebrate with Regan Smith after his win at Darlington on Saturday.
SMITH FROM 1B tracked down Busch’s car, stopped in front of Busch on pit road, then got out of his car and attempted to punch or grab Busch through his window. Busch then slammed into Harvick’s driverless car, sending it crashing in the inside wall. Harvick and Busch then stared down each other from their cars as they entered the garage before a standoff that looked as if it might erupt further. It finally ended when Busch bumped Harvick several times to make space to drive off. Both drivers were summoned to the NASCAR hauler. Brad Keselowski finished third, pole-sitter Kasey Kahne was fourth and Ryan Newman fifth. Denny Hamlin, the Darlington winner last year, was sixth, followed by Tony Stewart, Greg Biffle, Jamie McMurray and Martin Truex Jr. Edwards appeared to be cruising to his first Darlington victory with 10 laps remaining in what had been about 490 miles of relatively calm racing. Instead, things changed when Jeff Burton brought out the 10th and final caution, setting up a restart with five laps left and many of NASCAR’s best not far from the lead. Busch, Harvick and Bowyer wound up three-wide in a space where that doesn’t work and Bowyer was sent sprawling into the interior wall. As cars spun out behind, Busch gathered his car, then veered down the track and sent Harvick spinning.
Smith bobbled slightly on the final lap, but regained control and took off for the victory. He was in tears in victory lane, winning for the first time in 105 Sprint Cup starts. “We’ve had some ups and we’ve had some downs, this is an up,” Smith said. Smith’s landmark win, though, will likely be overlooked with the dustup between Harvick and Busch, who have a history. Harvick admittedly wrecked Busch on purpose late in last season’s finale at Homestead as retaliation for earlier contact. “Just uncalled for. Just unacceptable racing,” Busch said. “You know, it’s in the last couple of laps but I gave him room off of two, I didn’t get the room. Just real unfortunate. I hate we tore up a few good cars there.” Busch said the talk in NASCAR’s hauler was not a big deal. “Good to hash it out now. Might as well,” he said. Harvick says he was racing hard “and doing what we had to do there at the end and things happen.” Was it over? “You saw the end,” Harvick said, smiling, as he walked off. Edwards says all drivers have a passion for racing that can leave them frustrated at times. “This is racing,” he said. “You’re going to have stuff like that. I think all of us know that can happen and we should be prepared.” Smith said he was too overjoyed to pay attention to the problems behind him. “I have no clue what happened in the race other than us winning,” he said.
HOUSTON FROM 1B Carson’s season (8-15) was not memorable, but it went in the books with an asterisk. Seniors Cody Clanton and Devon Heggins were counted on heavily, but Clanton’s season ended with the Sam Moir Christmas Classic. Heggins played just one game after Christmas. “I think for about 21⁄2 years, Nick was mostly a shooter,” Perry said. “But things happened. We had kids get hurt. We lost kids. Nick’s game had to grow out of necessity and he became a really good player.” The subtractions basically left Houston as Carson’s only steady offense, and he was the sole focus of every opposing defense. He also had to rebound more and handle the ball more. “It was kind of up to me, more or less, as the offenjon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST sive option,” Houston said. Nick Houston is a great outside shooter but took the ball to the “I tried to do more. I practice driving all the time, so I basket more this past season.
fairway. He’d been having some kind of hernia problem. I said, ‘It’s just not worth it, state championship or not. Let’s get him to a doctor.’ ” A rules official took Alcorn back to the clubhouse. “All the guys saw it,” Snyder said. “I think it bothered them a little bit. It ended up being our worst 9-hole score of the year.” Salisbury lost the title to North Lincoln by two strokes. “When you lose by such a small margin, you’ve got individual kids saying, ‘What if I had done this?’ or ‘what if I had done that?’ The bottom line is, we didn’t do the job,” Snyder said. • Salisbury has done the job this year, however, with a team so deep that, if you count ties, all six of Snyder’s top players have been a medalist. Snyder has assembled quite a group of talent. Roy Dixon is the only senior and is the defending state individual champ. “We all know about Roy Dixon,” Snyder smiled. “He has played so well for us for four years.” No. 2 is freshman Eric Edwards, who won the county championship at McCanless by shooting a 67. “He’s a freshman so he’s had some off days but in general, he’s been as good as expected,” Snyder said. Alex Nianouris, Troy Beaver, Alcorn and Alex Lee round out the top six. All are juniors. “Nianouris is probably our most consistent golfer,” Snyder said. “He’s just steady. He does all the little things right.” Beaver is one of those guys who is going to rip it off the tee. “He’s going to go for it,” Snyder said, “and we’re like, why not? We’ve got such a good team behind him.”
Alcorn started slow but has picked it up and is currently playing strong golf. He shot a 33 recently at Sapona in Lexington. And few teams have a player as strong at No. 6 as Lee. “Alex is as consistent as you can get,” Snyder said. “He’s improved so much from his freshman year. He’ll do all the little things.” To show how talented Salisbury is this season, Snyder points to his seventh and eighth players: Joseph Rusher and Alex Austin, both sophomores. Rusher was an allcounty and all-conference player last season but he can’t get on the course. “They’re absolutely tremendous golfers,” Snyder praised, “but the problem is, we’re only allowed to take six golfers to a match. If you go by averages, they’re not in the top six. You’d be hard-pressed to find two guys with averages of around 39 who aren’t playing. It’s a great problem to have, but a real problem be-
cause they’re so deserving.” • Now, that lineup has to produce on Longleaf’s 6,600-yard, par 71 course the Hornets have played several times. “It’s all right there in front of you,” said Snyder, who took his boys for a practice round on Sunday. “There’s not a lot of tricky holes or trouble. “The one thing I don’t like about it for our team is, it’s not very long. It takes the driver out of our hands. We’ve got some guys who can flat-out bomb the ball. It’s not like The Warrior where you can hit it for miles. At Longleaf, they have to lay off a little.” Salisbury is talented enough to make the adjustments physically. And mentally, the Hornets seem prepared because they remember last year so vividly. “We’re confident because we’ve played well all year,” Nianouris said. “But we know we can’t let it go to our heads. We’ve still got to go out there and win it.”
figured why not start doing that in games.” What he did was pretty impressive, including five efforts of 20 or more points in his last seven games. He broke one of Moose’s many school records with 37 at West Iredell and had 28 of Carson’s 54 in a first-round playoff loss to Waddell. He got all those points, not just by raining 3s but by hitting pullups, finishing inside and getting to the foul line. “There was a time when if Nick didn’t hit four or five 3s, he wasn’t going to score much, but by the end of the season, even if the 3s weren’t falling, he was still scoring,” Perry said. A Southern Conference coach had a chance to see Houston, and while he had reservations about Houston playing at the Southern level, he endorsed Houston as a solid Division II player. Duing the season, Houston expressed disappointment at the underwhelming recruiting interest, but schools, including Catawba, were quietly watching and
evaluating. “Moose signed early with Brevard, but Moose was not the norm for D-II,” Perry said. “There was interest in Nick, on and off, from several schools, but most of the Division IIs wait to see who might fall to them. I thought all along Nick would find a place to play.” As winter turned to spring and basketball season surrendered to baseball, Houston, always the gym rat, kept working on his game. Division II schools can bring in players for workouts/tryouts, and one of Catawba’s invitations went to Houston. “I went up there and worked out, got to play against some of Catawba’s players, and they were cool guys,” Houston said. “We played drive-and-kick basketball, just like we do at Carson, and I enjoyed it. “I also went up to Brevard. They made an offer, and it would’ve been fun to play with Moose, but it was just too cold up there.” When Catawba called
Houston back for a second session of workouts, they made an offer. Houston accepted. “It was a big thing to be able to stay close to home,” he said. My family likes to watch me play.” Perry is obviously delighted. He’ll have chances to watch Houston on Saturday afternoons. “Once Catawba had a chance to get to see Nick, up close and personal, they really liked him,” Perry said. “He’s not just a great shooter. He’s got a great mind for basketball and a great work ethic. He knows he’s got to keep working defensively, but he should be fine once he gets a little stronger and a little more physical.” The most exciting thing about Houston, if you’re a Catawba fan, is that he’s still working. Probably in some gym, right now, Houston is dribbling a basketball and nets are swishing. “If he improves each year as much as he did this past year, he could really be something,” Perry said.

Fructose intolerance potentially deadly Dear Dr. Gott: Do you have any information on fructose intolerance? I have been able to find only one book related to the problem. Thank you. Dear Reader: Fructose intolerance, commonly known as hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI), is a genetic disorder in which the body is unable to break down fructose and some other sugars. It is known as an autosomal recessive disorder, which means that in order to be affected, each parent must have the mutation and pass it DR. PETER on to the child. If only one GOTT copy is passed on, the child will be a carrier but will not be affected. This abnormal gene results in the body missing the enzyme fructose-1-phosphate aldolase, which is responsible for changing glycogen into glucose, which the body uses for energy. Without it, fructose-1-phosphate will build up in the small intestine, liver and kidneys. Following ingestion of fructose, sucrose and sorbitol (a sugar alcohol), the body’s blood-glucose levels will drop, causing hypoglycemia. Severe abdominal pain and vomiting may also occur. Other symptoms include excessive sleepiness, jaundice, irritability, convulsions and more. Sufferers develop a distaste for sweet foods. Liver and kidney damage can occur, and may result in organ failure or death, so strict
avoidance of all foods and drinks containing fructose and other sugars metabolized by fructose-1-phosphate aldolase is vital. Fructose intolerance can sometimes be confused with fructose malabsorption, which is not life threatening but is more common. Fructose malabsorption can cause abdominal pain, bloating, gas and diarrhea but does not result in the liver or kidney damage. However, treatment for both conditions is the same. The most important aspect of management is avoidance of all sources of fructose, sucrose and sorbitol, including fruits, fruit juices, table sugar, sodas, powdered sugar, sports drinks, honey, highfructose corn syrup and a great deal more. This can be very difficult. Consulting a registered dietician and reading labels meticulously will be highly beneficial. The dietician can help you avoid fructose and maintain a balanced, healthful diet. Boston University has an entire lab dedicated to the research of HFI and aldolase. It offers information about the condition, diagnosis, treatment, HFI-specific diets and research. There is also a support group, but it only accepts patients with medical-record confirmation of diagnosis. They say this is because while other support groups exist, many contain information for sufferers of fructose malabsorption, benign sugar intolerance and more that may not be applicable to HFI. If you are interested in joining the support group, you can apply online at www.bu.edu/aldolase/
disclaim/disclaim .html. Others who are simply interested in learning more about HFI can visit www.bu.edu/aldolase/HFI/FAQ.html or www.ncbi.nlm.nih .gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001399. Dear Dr. Gott: Do you know of a cure for Fordyce spots? Do you think laser treatments help? Have you heard of tretinoin cream as a cure? If you have any information on this skin disease, please help. Dear Reader: Let me start by saying Fordyce spots are not a skin disease. They are normal. They are large, superficial, oil-producing glands found on mucosal surfaces, most commonly found at the border of the corners of the lips and in the mouth at the back inner cheeks. They do not produce symptoms. Treatment is usually not necessary because the spots are normal. Treatment (with mild topical steroids) may be recommended in cases when itching and irritation are present, which is typically the result of inappropriate treatment. You can’t cure something that isn’t a disease. If you are truly concerned, speak with a dermatologist, who will, in all likelihood, confirm what I have said. 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.

Help your partner if you are no help BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
Henry Morgan, an American humorist remembered as a self-deprecating satirist on radio and as a panelist on the television game show “I’ve Got a Secret,” said, “A kleptomaniac is a person who helps himself because he can’t help himself.” When you are on defense, if you cannot get the setting tricks, help your partner to collect them. In this deal, how should the defenders card to defeat three no-trump after West leads his fourth-highest diamond? South starts with only four top tricks: one heart, two diamonds (given the opening lead) and one club. He can get three winners from spades and three or
four from clubs. Doing the natural thing, declarer takes the first trick with his diamond 10, plays a spade to dummy’s queen, and leads a club to his queen. West wins with his king and does what? Strangely, the answer depends on East’s card at trick one. Since East cannot play the nine or higher, he should give count. Here, this means dropping his three (lowest from an odd number of cards), not covering dummy’s five with his seven, which he would do with only two diamonds (high-low with a doubleton). So, if East played the diamond three, it ought to be easy for West to lead the diamond king, squashing South’s queen and establishing his suit while he has the spade ace as an entry. But if East covered with the diamond seven, West should shift to the heart nine
Authorities: David Beckham in crash on LA freeway TORRANCE, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say David Beckham was behind the wheel of a car that rear-ended another vehicle on a Southern California freeway. The California Highway Patrol said Saturday the soccer great was not hurt in Friday morning’s crash, but the other car’s driver was hospitalized after complaining of neck pain. The patrol says Beckham’s Cadillac struck a Mitsubishi stalled in the carpool
lane of the 405 Freeway in Torrance. The other driver, a 40year-old Los Angeles man, was taken to a hospital as a precautionary measure. His name was not released. Beckham was not cited. The 35-year-old Beckham joined Major League Soccer club Los Angeles Galaxy in 2007. Before that, he played in Europe for Manchester United and Real Madrid and was captain of England’s national team from 2000 to 2006.
(high to deny an honor). He has to hope that East can take the trick with the ace and return his last diamond through South’s remaining queen-eight or queen-three.

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER Cool and windy weather will continue throughout much of the West Monday as a trough of low pressure over the Pacific Northwest digs across the region. Moisture accompanying the trough will trigger scattered rain showers and high elevation snow in the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain West. Meanwhile, a colder airmass will linger over much of the West leading to another day of chilly, below average daytime highs and lower snow levels. To the south, strengthening winds will continue to sweep through the Southwest. Very low humidity levels, above normal temperatures, and windy weather conditions will enhance critical fire weather conditions throughout the region. Ahead of the trough of low pressure moving through the West, increased instability in the Upper Midwest will create a slight risk of severe thunderstorms in the Northern Plains, southeastern Iowa, and Illinois. The main concerns with these storms will be large hail, damaging wind, and perhaps tornadoes. Residents in these areas are encouraged to monitor their local weather conditions through the day. Finally, calmer conditions and milder daytime highs will prevail in the east as high pressure gradually builds over the region. Only a few showers will be possible in the Carolinas as a wave of low pressure exits the coast.

Sizzling hitter heads to DL Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — The Houston Astros placed outfielder Jason Bourgeois on the 15-day disabled list before their game against the Pirates on Sunday and purchased the contract of infielder Joe Inglett to take his place on the roster. One of the majors’ hottest hitters over the past week, Bourgeois strained his left oblique coming out of the batter’s box when he grounded back to the mound during the sixth inning of Houston’s 6-1 loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday night. Bourgeois had started each of the past seven games and had hit safely in all of them, going 14 for 27 with seven stolen bases. He is tied for second in the majors in steals with 12 despite having only 57 plate appearances.
Sanchez shuts down Washington Associated Press
MIAMI — Anibal Sanchez took a no-hitter into the seventh inning and struck out a career-high 11 Sunday to help the Florida Marlins salvage the final game of their series against Washington, 8-0. Washington’s first hit came on the 101st pitch from Sanchez, when Laynce Nix led off the seventh with a line single to right, just beyond the reach of a diving Mike Stanton. Sanchez (2-1) allowed two hits and walked none in seven innings before departing after throwing 117 pitches on a sunny, 86-degree afternoon. Gaby Sanchez, swinging a pink bat on Mother’s Day, hit a three-run homer, doubled twice, singled and scored three runs. Greg Dobbs also wielded a pink bat and had two RBI hits. Reds 2, Cubs 0 CHICAGO — Johnny Cueto was strong in his season debut Sunday, allowing five hits and pitching into the seventh for Cincinnati. Drew Stubbs hit his sixth homer for the Reds and Cueto (1-0), who was activated off the disabled list before the game, won a pitcher’s duel with Ryan Dempster (1-4). Giants 3, Rockies 0 SAN FRANCISCO — Ryan Vogelsong and two relievers combined on a three-hitter and the San Francisco Giants completed their first series sweep of the season. Cody Ross homered and drove in all three runs. Cardinals 3, Brewers 1 ST. LOUIS — Unbeaten Kyle McClellan worked into the ninth inning to become the NL’s third five-game winner and the Cardinals’ bullpen labored to get the final three

Dodgers 4, Mets 2 NEW YORK — Andre Ethier got back on track with a two-run homer, Clayton Kershaw struck out eight and struggling Los Angeles snapped a four-game losing streak. Pirates 5, Astros 4 PITTSBURGH — Ryan Doumit hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning and the Pirates improved to .500 this late in a season for the first time in six years.
Padres 4, Diamondbacks 3 SAN DIEGO — Jorge Cantu hit a threerun homer and Aaron Harang pitched seven solid innings to lead the Padres. Braves 5, Phillies 2 PHILADELPHIA — Jair Jurrjens pitched neatly into the seventh inning and Atlanta got home runs from Freddie Freeman, Alex Gonzalez and pinch-hitter Eric Hinske to beat Philadelphia. Jurrjens (4-0) allowed one run and eight hits.
Jeter ends long drought with two homers Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Texas — Derek Jeter homered twice after going 62 games without a long ball, Curtis Granderson went deep again and the New York Yankees beat the Texas Rangers 12-5 Sunday despite an erratic outing by CC Sabathia. Jeter had gone 259 at-bats without a homer since last Aug. 24 before leading off the fifth with a liner that barely cleared the eight-foot wall into the Rangers’ bullpen in right-center. Jeter didn’t wait long for his next homer, leading off the seventh against Arthur Rhodes (12) with a deeper shot into the bullpen to break a 4-all tie. Angels 6, Indians 5 ANAHEIM, Calif. — Peter Bourjos drove in the tying run in the eighth inning with an in-
field single, Erick Aybar followed with a two-run double and Los Angeles beat Cleveland to give Mike Scioscia his 1,000th victory as a major league manager. Angels reliever Fernando Rodney (2-1) got credit for the win, despite blowing a 3-2 lead for Dan Haren in the top of the eighth. Travis Hafner had an RBI infield hit and Orlando Cabrera a run-scoring fielder’s choice. Red Sox 9, Twins 5 BOSTON — Adrian Gonzalez homered, Kevin Youkilis scored four runs and Daisuke Matsuzaka settled down to pitch six innings after a rough first, leading Boston over Minnesota. Jacoby Ellsbury had three hits and extended his hitting streak to 17 games. Gonzalez, J.D. Drew and Jed Lowrie each drove in two runs for the Red
Sox. Danny Valencia had a solo homer and two-run single for the Twins, who have lost nine of their last 10 games in Fenway Park. Minnesota committed three errors, one leading to a pair of unearned runs. Tigers 5, Blue Jays 2 TORONTO — Brad Penny pitched well into the eighth inning and Detroit followed Justin Verlander’s no-hitter by beating Toronto. Austin Jackson hit a tiebreaking home run, Jose Valverde struck out the side in the ninth for seventh save and the 200th of his career, becoming the 41st player in major league history to reach the mark. Rays 5, Orioles 3 BALTIMORE — B.J. Upton drove in four runs, and Tampa
Bay beat Baltimore for a threegame sweep. Matt Joyce hit two doubles and scored twice for the Rays, who set a single-season franchise record with their eighth consecutive road win. Tampa Bay is 20-8 overall since starting the season with six straight defeats, including three at home against the Orioles to open the season. Athletics 5, Royals 2 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kevin Kouzmanoff and Kurt Suzuki each homered for Oakland and Conor Jackson collected three hits to help Tyson Ross win his first game in four starts. White Sox 5, Mariners 2 SEATTLE — Paul Konerko returned to the White Sox lineup and tied his career high with five hits, including a single in the 10th inning that helped Chicago beat Seattle.
