CARING FOR THE LEAST OF THESE Quake shakes Paula Lambert’s annual mission trip — and her

Cities, cable still at odds Fight over broadband on legislative agenda

ANNAPOLIS — The little girl arrived at the hospital in the Dominican Republic on a piece of cardboard. Thalia had survived the devastating earthquake in neighboring Haiti two days earlier but suffered severe injuries. Her father, Jocque, had carried her on the flattened box from place to place in Portau-Prince, pleading for help. But the 6-year-old’s gaping head wound and compound femur fracture required surgery, nearly impossible to find in a city decimated by the 7.0 magnitude earthquake. Desperate after watching his mother perish and 2-year-old daughter die in his arms, Jocque finally found a truck to transport Thalia and an unrelated baby boy and man, both also severely injured. On his second day without sleep, Jocque drove about 100 miles to Barahona, a city near the Haitian border in the Dominican Republic. There, a nurse from Kannapolis was ready. • • •

In a large room called the “gymnatorium” at Jackson Park United Methodist Church in Kannapolis, Paula Lambert greets each member of the Jet Set by name. The senior citizens are gathering for their May meeting to hear about Paula’s latest mission trip to the Dominican Republic, or as she says, “to my Dominican family.” Barefoot and dressed in jeans and a leopard-print top, the 47year-old shows off bracelets on each wrist made from coconut. “No spit balls!” Paula warns as she opens her PowerPoint presentation. The cross around her neck glitters as sunlight pours in from high windows. She volunteers as the parish nurse for the church, where she’s been a member for 19 years. “Paul, can you hear me?” Paula asks loudly into the microphone. “He’s always my test. I want to make sure you can hear.” An elderly man in the audience smiles and waves, and Paula begins.

RALEIGH — Big telecoms in North Carolina keep fretting about towns like Wilson and Salisbury getting into the broadband business. Ever since a 2005 appeals court ruling upheld the right of towns and cities to offer high-speed Internet to their residents, large cable and phone companies have been urging the General Assembly to throw obstacles in the way. Local governments, they argue, don’t have to pay taxes and can subsidize their rates to undercut the corporate competition. “We just want the playing field level between the two of us,” said KLUTTZ Jack Stanley, a regional lobbyist for Time Warner Cable. Those efforts, however, have failed as mayors and local governments argue the big companies won’t offer the kind of super-fast Internet at reasonable prices they say attracts high-tech industries. “We’re trying very hard by providing broadband to bring new local businesses to our community, to bring jobs,” said Salisbury Mayor Susan Kluttz, whose city has borrowed to build a $30 million fiberoptic network it will begin testing in a few months. Heading into this week’s start of the legislative session, the telecommunications industry backed a proposal that would force cities to get voter approval to borrow money to build or repair their systems. While a majority on the Legislature’s Revenue Laws Study Committee recommended the idea last week to the full General Assembly, it’s still a long shot to pass as some lawmakers agree companies fail to provide the best service and avoid communities that don’t generate enough profit. “Leaving this solely to the telecoms and the cable companies has not gotten us the best result we could get, and we should promote other models, including the municipal model,” said Rep. Bill Faison, DOrange, who is leading a separate House committee examining the topic. Still others argue lawmakers have brought this fight on themselves because they’ve never conformed state law to the 2005 court ruling to fill in details on how towns and cities should build these systems. State law allows municipalities to enter into “public enterprise” for services such as electric power, cable television and trash — areas where private companies historically weren’t willing to invest. A 2005 Court of Appeals ruling involving then-BellSouth Corp. and the city of Laurinburg, which leased its fiber-optic network to outside customers, determined

Health board to focus on action plan to address top needs Smoking ban enforcement and penalties also on agenda BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

In 2008, the health department established a Community Health Assessment Committee to evaluate and collect community health care data

that would be compiled into health-related priorities. Citizens in the medical, educational and private sector provided information about community health concerns. An action plan was created and will be the topic of discussion at Tuesday’s Board of Health meeting. The committee’s action plan will include its goals for the next three years. These goals represent a cross section of agencies in Rowan County that provide either existing or new services.

Please recycle this newspaper

The goals address some priorities identified in the 2009 Community Health Needs Assessment. The plan is a requirement as part of a certification/recertification process for Healthy Carolinians, which is part of the state Department of Health and Human Services and the Division of Public Health. Once finalized, the action plan will be sent to the state. There are several priority issues mentioned in the action plan, including diabetes and

The board is also expected to discuss enforcement of the new statewide indoor smoking ban, which became effective Jan. 2. The law prohibits smoking in restaurants and most bars. Private clubs and cigar bars are exempted from the no-smoking restrictions. Most of the establishments have been compliant, a memo

In addition, the board is expected to approve an added $500 awarded to Health Beginnings from Smart Start to buy medications for uninsured children.

RALEIGH (AP) — These North Carolina lotteries were drawn Sunday: Cash 5: 05-06-0824-34, Pick 4: 9-8-2-2, Evening Pick 3: 58-9.

Don’t stress about size, instead focus on symmetry Q: My hips don’t seem to get smaller even working out hard, what can I do to make them narrower? A: Everybody has a certain body type that has passed on to them through family genetics. Even when your parents and siblings don’t have that “shape,” most of the time when you go back in your family tree that particular shape will “pop up” somewhere in your family’s past. When you feel your hips and you feel bones, there is no way you can make that part smaller. ESTER Don’t get disMARSH couraged, there are some things you can work on to make your body appear more symmetrical. One thing you are not able to do is to “spot” reduce when working out. Especially when you are dealing with bone structure, but even dealing with fat; just because you are working that part out does not mean you are losing fat or weight in that particular area. A total body workout focusing on problem areas, enhancing other parts, lots of cardio, and a healthy eating lifestyle will get you on your way to lose the unwanted fat and hopefully the shape you want. There was a female in the Netherlands I worked with who had a true “pear” shape. She had low body fat, narrow shoulders, and wide hips. For her upper body I put her on a body building program, high weights, low reps (six to eight). For her lower body I kept her reps between 12 and 15 with a weight she could handle for that amount of reps. As I have mentioned before, you can not “spot reduce” or change the structure of your bones. However, through working out with weights you can change the size of your muscles and therefore the ap-

pearance of your symmetry. This is the workout I gave her. Please realize you need a “base” workout first before you start specializing like this. I gave her the following split body workout over 6 days each lasting about 45 minutes to an hour, since she already had a strong base: Day 1: Chest and Triceps • Bench press, heavy weight, 6-

8 reps. • Incline dumbbell press • Decline dumbbell press • Cable cross over • Triceps push down with rope • Triceps dumbbell kick backs. Day 2 Back and Biceps • Lat pull to chest, heavy

weight, 6-8 reps. • T-bar rows • Cable row, wide grip • One arm dumbbell row • Barbell curls • Seated concentration curls Day 3 Legs and Shoulders • Squats, medium weight, 12-

15 reps • Lunges • Leg extensions • Leg curls • Seated calf raises • Dumbbell shoulder press, heavy weight, 6-8 reps. • Side lateral raises • Bent over flies • Shrugs Repeat starting from Day 1. Add cardio most days of the week and abs whenever it works out for you. I know what you’re thinking — this is a lot of work. For her it was very successful. Her shoulders were built up so that they were symmetrical with her hips and she actually entered a body -building competition and placed. So, with hard work and perseverance, you too can get the symmetry you want. Ester Marsh works at the J.F. Hurley Family YMCA.

Black waves and brown whitecaps are seen off the side of the supply vessel Joe Griffin at the site of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill containment efforts in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana on Sunday.

BP plans to park oil box; unload new equipment ON THE GULF OF MEXICO (AP) — Crews planned Sunday to park the giant oil containment box on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, and offload equipment that could be used in a new attempt to stem the flow of gushing into the sea. The equipment to be offloaded from another vessel would use a tube to shoot mud and concrete directly into the well’s blowout preventer, a process that could take two to three weeks. But BP PLC spokesman Mark Proegler said no decisions have been made on what step the company will take next. The company was considering several options, including the technique known as a “top kill,” Proegler said. Crews planned to secure the big box about 1,600 feet from the massive leak site, much farther away from where it was placed Saturday after icelike crystals clogged the top when it was over the leak, according to a daily activity sheet reviewed by The Associated Press. It could be at least a day before BP can make another at-

tempt at putting a lid on a well spewing thousands of gallons of crude into the Gulf each day. Waves of dark brown and black sludge crashed into a boat in the area above the leak. The fumes there were so intense that a crewmember of the Joe Griffin and an AP photographer on board had to wear respirators while outside. On the deck, a white cattle egret landed, brownish-colored stains of oil on its face and along its chest, wings and tail. The company’s first attempt to divert the oil was foiled, its mission now in serious doubt. Meanwhile, thick blobs of tar washed up on Alabama’s white sand beaches, yet another sign the spill was spreading. It took about two weeks to build the box and three days to cart the containment box 50 miles out and slowly lower it to the well a mile below the surface, but the frozen depths were just too much. BP officials were not giving up hopes that a containment box — either the one brought there or another one being built — could cover the well.

Noted architect Frank Milburn designed the 1907 renovations of the Empire Hotel, pictured in this postcard from the collection of Susan Goodman Sides. The original hotel on this South Main Street site — the Boyden House — dated back to 1855 and was built by Nathaniel Boyden. It later became the Central, then the Empire Hotel. Many actors performing at the Meroney Theater, including Charlie Chaplin, would stay at the hotel. Robert E. Lee, long after he was the Confederate general, also is reported to have visited the establishment. The hotel closed in 1959. Today, its possible restoration as a hotel is a high priority for its new owner, Downtown Salisbury Inc.

Seniors gear up for team competitions BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

It has been a successful season for the Salisbury/Rowan Senior Games, but it’s not over said coordinator Phyllis Loflin-Kluttz. The individual portion was completed last week. The games were kicked off with a basketball tournament at Catawba College in mid-April. The Salisbury/Rowan Senior Games is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a year-round health and wellness program for adults 55 years of age and older. “This does not end our season,” Loflin-Kluttz said. “We still have five months of team sports and then we are off to North Carolina Senior Games State Finals to qualify for the National Senior Olympics.” The National Senior Olympics will be held in Texas next summer. Throughout the season, local athletes competed in various sports from bowling to bocce and at locationssuch as lo-

John Halpin of Salisbury flies a DC-3 on the new flight simulators at the N.C. Transportation Museum’s ‘Wagons, Wheels & Wings’ exhibit. The grand opening of the new exhibit was celebrated Saturday at Learning to Fly.

New exhibits take flight N.C. Transportation Museum debuts aircraft memorabilia during Learning to Fly BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com

SPENCER — The only thing missing from Learning To Fly at the N.C. Transportation Museum on Saturday was actual flight. But Mother Nature had other ideas. Wind gusts upwards of 20 miles per hour kept model airplanes from flying and grounded the hot air balloon display. Aside from that, the event still drew visitors to new exhibits at the Spencer museum and to the aircraft on display as part of the daylong event. Robert Wise talked to visitors and showed off the wicker basket of a 77,000-cubic-foot hot air balloon. Kids were allowed to climb inside and see the burner, fuel tanks and gauges. But the balloon itself had to stay packed in a giant canvas bag due to the wind. “It’s just too dangerous,” Wise said. He’s been flying for more than a decade and once worked for Firefly Balloons of Statesville, who built the one he planned to

display. Wise said, he looks forward to taking part in another event in Cleveland on Saturday. The biggest outdoor attraction was the UH1 “Huey” helicopter restored by Carolinas Aviation Museum, based in Charlotte. Don Brown said the helicopter, which saw extensive service in the Vietnam war and is still used around the world today, was purchased and restored in 2007. Brown said the museum usually has cockpits from other aircraft on display, but they’d already been promised to another show on the same day. “This has always been a nice place for us,” Brown said. “It’s not your usual air show crowd. There’s more young kids and families.” Mike Hibler of Faith came to see if the tail number of the museum’s Huey matched one he’d flown on when he was in service. “That’s the sole reason I’m here,” he said. From 1970 to 1972, Hibler said, he served with the U.S. Army’s 1st Aviation Brigade in Vietnam.

It wasn’t the same Huey, but it still brought back memories, he said. Then, visitors started talking to him about his experiences and about the helicopter. He ended up standing by the aircraft, sharing stories and facts. Brian Moffit, educational program coordinator, said the day’s biggest draw was the grand opening of new features in the “Wagons, Wheels & Wings” exhibit. “We’ve got memorabilia from major airlines with North Carolina connections,” Moffit said, pointing out items from the former Piedmont Airlines and Eastern Airlines, among others. Uniforms, hats, decks of cards and ads from throughout the years are among the items on display. Moffit said some of these items had been in storage for several years and are on display for the first time. Nearby are the newest and most popular features: two new computerized flight simu-

Railroad research switches from school project to summer hobby One time, in the early 1960s, I did a little project book for school on the Southern Railway. It consisted of printed information — some from the yard office in Spencer and some obtained through the mail by a written request from me. When the manila envelope with the “Southern Serves the South” MACK WILLIAMS logo arrived, it was like something special appearing. The historical information and pictures of locomotives piqued my interest so much that I began writing many railroads all across the

country, requesting a packet of information from each. Whoever received my request, written in my childish cursive, evidently could not resist the good PR involved in making a child happy. Information in manila folders from railroads all across the country would arrive every week. Since my project had ended the school year, my fervent, but polite written requests occupied the greatest part of the summer. Since this was summer vacation from school, I was available to check our mailbox at the edge of the Old Concord Road. The packets contained pictures of the diesel locomotives, which were the most current for that time (and far more attractive than

the present ones), in the differing color schemes of the various railroads. However, there was always something more special about the green and white, with the golden stripe of the Southern Railway with its logo of the letters “SR,” wrapped in laurel-like letters proclaiming: “The Southern Serves the South.” An advertisement which I remember from that time consisted of a railroad crossing sign with the statement: “Southern Gives a Green Light to Innovations”. A lot of kids had glossy photos of The Lone Ranger, but I had a glossy photograph, autographed (although through mass-production means) by Southern Railway’s innovative president D.W.Brosnan.

Many railroads included photographs (suitable for framing) of their old steam locomotives no longer in service. These were painted in the same color schemes as the modern diesels of the particular railroad. There was one night scene of people swimming in a lake, while a steam engine passes by on a moon-illuminated railroad bridge in the nearby background. That summer, in the early 1960s, many of the railroads across the country made deliveries to me at a communal siding, extremely small, behind the little metal door of a small metal box on which the numbers “147” were written, on Route 7, Old Concord Road.

KANNAPOLIS — A woman shot in Kannapolis this weekend was in serious but stable condition Sunday night, police say. Officers of the Kannapolis Police Department responded to 317 Bell St. at about 10 a.m. Sunday. According to police, the officers determined that the shooting involved a domestic altercation. Investigators have interviewed witnesses, but they aren’t sure whether the victim’s injuries were self-inflicted or caused by another individual. The victim sustained a gunshot wound to her left front shoulder, and she was transported to CMC-Northeast for medical treatment. Her injuries were not life threatening and she is listed in serious but stable condition. Anyone with information pertaining to this incident is asked to call the Kannapolis Police Department at 704-9204001 or Crime Stoppers at 704-93CRIME.

Civil War re-enactors live history BY P. CHRISTINE SMITH The Sun Journal of New Bern

NEW BERN (AP) — While participants enjoy Civil War re-enactments, the endeavor is much more than just fun and games behind the scenes, insiders say. The re-enactments, like those that took place this weekend at Union Point Park, are living history lessons that require significant preparation, organization and implementation. “We’re setting up. This is the 20th century part of this,” said Walt Hilderman of Eutawville, S.C.. Hilderman, a retired police captain who was with the Char-

lotte Police Department for 30 years, is the head of the provost and inspections departments for the Army of Northern Virginia, a nonprofit corporation that participates in and organizes re-enactment events. As re-enactors set up their tents and personal campsites, much of Hilderman’s — and his staff’s — work was already done. They had previously decided where the tents and portable restrooms were to go, coordinated their security plan with the New Bern Police Department and devised the best ways to ensure camp cleanliness and participant parking ease, he said. “We make sure the show

goes off well,” Hilderman said. The end result is a small, self-sufficient city, said Jake Jennette, of Swansboro, the organization’s commanding general. With the logistical responsibilities left to Hilderman, Jennette is free to concentrate on what he loves best: Civil War history. As Jennette and his wife, Margaret Jennette, settled into their campsite, complete with a tent with two cots, rocking chairs and period camping implements, he spoke like a living history volume about the subject of his intellectual passion. “It’s a nice way to live,” he said. “What I say every time I’m done with a re-enactment

is ‘Darn, now I’ve got to go back to the real world.’ “ He was eager to educate adults and children alike in Civil War history. Re-enactments, he said, are a good way to commemorate and celebrate the lives of ancestors. “I am from a different time. I was raised differently,” said Jennette, 68. “And it bothers me to see the children not learning their history. They’re losing their culture.” Shannon Norris, of Georgetown, S.C., talked about why he is an active member of the 7th South Carolina Confederate Infantry re-enactment group. “Love of history and I had 12 ancestors who fought for the Confederacy,” Norris said.

But radio-controlled planes don’t stand up well to wind gusts, so the club members’ Sopwith Pup biplane and Extra 300 model stunt planes stayed parked Saturday.

Cosby speaks at Shaw University commencement RALEIGH (AP) — Actor and comedian Bill Cosby told graduates at a historically black college in North Carolina that education will change their lives. The 72-year-old television star spoke Saturday at the commencement ceremony for Shaw University. The News & Observer of Raleigh reports that Cosby gave the more than 400 graduates a little job-hunting advice during the sluggish economy. He suggested graduates should keep up with the news and when they see someone doing something wrong, they should apply for that person’s job.

U.S. House candidate gets support from Republican rivals CONCORD (AP) — Three Republican candidates who lost in North Carolina’s primary election are endorsing one of their former rivals in a runoff. Hal Jordan, Lou Huddleston, and Darrell Day said in statements released on Friday that they are supporting U.S. House candidate Harold Johnson. The campaign for the 8th District nomination has resulted in a runoff between Johnson and Tim D’Annunzio. The eventual winner of the June 22 primary will face Democratic Rep. Larry Kissell in November. The district covers southern North Carolina from Charlotte to Fayetteville. D’Annunzio won the Tuesday race with 37 percent of the vote but didn’t win enough support to avoid a runoff.

Dairy, livestock questions answered As a Cooperative Extension agent, I get some really interesting questions. A “classic” question that seems to come up several times every year is, “Do brown cows produce chocolate milk?” The very simple answer is, No. All milk, whether it’s produced by a BRAD cow, goat, JOHNSON sheep, yak, water buffalo, or other milkproducing mammal, comes out of the mammary gland as the flavor most-recognized as “white” milk. Flavoring must be added to milk to produce any other flavor of milk. For example, chocolate, strawberry, or pineapple flavoring is added to pasteurized milk to produce the corresponding flavored milk. Another interesting question that requires some explanation is a person referring to a bull and asking, “How much does that cow weigh?” A cow is a female that has produced a calf. A heifer is a female that has not produced a calf. A bull is an intact male. In order to lactate (produce milk) a female must produce a baby (beef producers refer to the process as calving, while dairy producers often refer to the process as freshening), which cattle ideally do for the first time at about two years of age. Cattle have a gestation period of roughly 285 days, which means a heifer is bred for the first time when she’s about 15 months old (depending on her breed, she’ll weigh between 700 and 1,000+ pounds). The standard rule of thumb is, breed a heifer for the first time when she’s 65 percent of her mature weight and when she has her first calf, she weighs 85 percent of

her mature weight. In general, calves will weigh 65 to 100+ pounds at birth. Mature cows will weigh between 900 and 1,800 pounds, while mature bulls will weigh 1,700 to 2,500+ pounds. One of the more interesting questions to answer is, “How much milk does a cow produce and for how long?” A cow’s milk production (beef and dairy breeds) will peak 45-60 days following calving, after which her milk production slowly decreases — this is known as a milk production curve. High-producing beef breeds will peak at 30-40 pounds of milk per day,while dairy cattle generally peak at 80 to 120+ pounds per day. It’s not unusual for superhigh-producing dairy cows to produce 200+ pounds of milk per day. A gallon of milk weighs 8.6 pounds and to produce one volume of milk, the blood stream must supply 500 volumes of blood. In other words, 500 gallons of blood must go through the mammary gland to supply the components to produce one gallon of milk. Think about our extreme example. To produce 200 pounds of milk in a day (23.4 gallons), 11,700 gallons of blood goes through a cow’s mammary gland. It’s no wonder a dairy cow will eat 65 to 100+ total pounds of a balanced feed ration and drink five pounds of water for each pound of milk produced. Most cows (beef and dairy) breed back 60 to 120 days after they calve, resulting in a dairy cow lactating for a total of 10-12 months. At the end of her lactation, a dairy cow is generally given a 60 day “rest” known as a dry period before she calves again.

OPINION

The Monday forum

Consulting electoral tea leaves R

ALEIGH — It’s dangerous business, this looking at the results of a single election — a primary at that — and deciphering what it all means for the future. The danger never stops pundits and politicians from engaging in the exercise, and so it was after Tuesday’s primary. Nationally, writers and TV commentators declared that the tea party movement had come up short. In SCOTT North Carolina, MOONEYHAM low turnout was translated to mean voter apathy, particularly among Democrats. The turnout was low in the state. Just over 14 percent of registered voters showed up at the polls on Tuesday. Nearly as many Republicans as Democrats voted, even though the topof-the-ballot race, U.S. Senate, was a foregone conclusion for the GOP. That lack of interest in a contested Democratic U.S. Senate primary — especially when compared to similar circumstances in 2002 when more voters turned out — led to predictions of Democratic apathy come the fall. Those predictions ignore some pretty significant differences between 2002 and 2010. This year, Secretary of State Elaine Marshall led a crowded Democratic primary field but failed to gain the necessary 40 percent of the vote to avoid a runoff against former state Sen. Cal Cunningham. Marshall was the bestknown candidate entering the race, the only candidate to win a statewide election. By the time voters went to the polls, she was still the best-known candidate. Cunningham, the favorite of the party establishment, had run some TV ads, but not enough to overcome the name recognition of Marshall. In 2002, Marshall was probably the least known of three major Democratic candidates hoping to take on another GOP nominee who had become a foregone conclusion, Elizabeth Dole. Back then, former White House chief of staff Erskine Bowles had both the party backing and money to establish himself as a front-runner. Former state House Speaker Dan Blue was relatively wellknown. The result was more voter interest, more TV, more people at the polls. The polls had barely closed Tuesday before the delving into tea party success and failure also began. Given the fractious nature of the movement, determining who is and isn’t a tea party darling seemed difficult enough. Longtime incumbent Republican Congressman Howard Coble stomped all comers, including some who tried to decorate themselves with tea leaves. Bill Randall, a Republican running to challenge 13th District Congressman Brad Miller, qualified for a runoff after being endorsed by something called the Tea Party PAC. Tim D’Annunzio did the same in the 8th Congressional District after falling out with state Republican Party officials. D’Annunzio pumped $950,000 of personal money into his campaign. Meanwhile, just five incumbent state legislators were beaten on Tuesday, only one of them a Republican. Anyone who claims they can tell what that means in relation to tea party activism should probably go into the coastal land sales business. A wiser course would be to wait until the fall to try to decode it all. As is always the case, the months between now and then will be an eternity in politics. • • • Scott Mooneyham writes about state government for Capitol Press Association.

God bless the sport of the Redneck! Long live left turns at dangerous speeds, tossed chicken bones, beer scented puke, loud rednecks, campers, trashy women, and skanky men! Let’s add a special fan wing to the musuem!!! I’m stoked! whocares22 wrote: NASCAR is a sport for losers. Is it even a sport? I mean really? My neighbor can’t pay his mortgaage or his bills but he plunks down a lot of money for the Nascar race so he can see Dale Jr. and Tony Stewart. He sure has money for all his tailgating booze, too. As if those two bozos Earnhardt and Stewart would even recognize him or any other fan. All they want is the money from lowlife suckers who pay to see the dumb races.

... Editorial: Vote reveals Rowan County split (May 6) 1mansview wrote: One reason our country has a “split personality” is because our hard economic times are causing a conflict in our national culture: (1) We have all been taught since we were young that government does not create jobs, that in our country private business creates

jobs and it is best if government get out of the way. (2) Right now, our private businesses, (which are more and more dominated by very large multi-national corporations) are not doing a very good job of providing jobs and opportunity for our growing population. So, we’re conflicted. Democrats and Republican politicians say that their goal as local government leaders is to create jobs. But wait, I thought private business creates jobs. What about when private businesses are not creating jobs?? We are conflicted. I thought the quote in the Post yesterday about politicians needing three hats (one to throw in the ring, one to talk through and one to pull rabbits out of after the elections) is right on point. We expect too much of our local politicians if we think they can somehow fix the flaws of modern capitalism. country boy wrote: Our county did not for “change” on Tuesday. We saw in November of 2008 what blindly voting for “hope and change” can do to our country. The vote on Tuesday showed that most of us think our present county government is doing OK. whereiswaldo wrote: Sides is going to pull his cores votes, regardless of whether he spends a dime or not. If folks want him defeated, they will have to go to the polls in numbers that minimize his core. Obviously, not enough folks cared on Tuesday so we may get another dose of Jim. As for Jon, he worked very hard for his votes and yes, spent the money. They each did what they had to do to prevail. The people will speak and then we will live with the results.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be) Before you can begin to think about politics at all, you have to abandon the notion that there is a war between good men and bad men. — Walter Lippmann

ey, Salisbury! Long time no see! It's been ... what? Twenty-two years? Wow, time flies, doesn’t it? You’re looking great, by the way. No, I really mean that, and not in the “20-year high school reunion” way, either. The years have been kind to you. You’re bigger — aren't we all? -- but you carry it so well! When I graduated from Catawba College in 1988, I never thought I’d see you again, except for the odd homecoming weekend. What can I say? I was young and foolish. But as I grew up, many of my friends and I came to the same conclusion: You’re really a terrific little town in which to bring up a family. So, when I’d finally had it up to there with Myrtle Beach, I found myself thinking of you fondly. And on Jan. 2 of this year, my 10-year-old daughter and I loaded up the pickup we’d borrowed from my brother and made our way here to stay. My daughter, by the way, is in love with you already. Truth be told, you had her at the first snowfall. Within 24 hours, she’d seen more snow here than she’d seen in all her 10 years combined at the beach. But — how can I say this without hurting your feelings? — we’ve got a little Sheryl Sisk problem. Schelin lives in See, I had to give that Salisbury and hulking pickup back to my operates a brother, and that left me “green” housewith no car. A few months of cleaning service. unemployment meant that I had a pathetically little money to procure new wheels, and so I ended up buying a 1995 Neon, with almost 200,000 miles on it. Wait, it gets worse: It’s a stick shift. Yes, somehow I managed to make it to an age north-of-35 without ever learning to drive a car with a manual transmission. But in short order, it was forced upon me, and so I grimly set about to make myself the best darned stickshift driver I could be. Now, a few weeks later, I’ve graduated from the “stall out from every stop sign going into first gear” phase and can safely estimate that the 10-mile drive to work won’t take me 45 minutes. I’m not great but I’m pretty darned good. But there’s one thing that scares the heck out of me, Salisbury, and this is the problem: your hills. You might not think you have any, but I’m here to tell you: they exist. And they are my nightmare. Becky, my stick-shift tutor, assures me that even after 25 years of driving nothing but manuals, sometimes she rolls backwards a bit on an incline pulling away from a stop in first gear. It just can’t be avoided — not completely, anyway. And that’s the problem. Simply put: Your citizens are crowding me. The first time it happened, I was aggravated at the large white panel truck riding my rear bumper as I broke out into a cold sweat with my left foot jammed on the clutch and my right foot planted on the brake at the top of the incline on Long Street as I waited to turn left on Innes. Surely truckers ought to know better, right? I avoided catastrophe (barely) and then it happened again. Another panel truck, close enough to the rear bumper to whisper sweet nothings into the Neon’s ear — if the Neon had ears — and another hill (this one on Jake Alexander near the overpass). I started paying attention to how often this happens, and it happens a lot. Then, as so often is the case, my daughter gave me a bitterly cold dose of reality. During one such incident, when she was in the backseat, I made the mistake of complaining out loud about the Lexus driver breathing down my neck at the stoplight. “But Mommy,” she said, in that ever-so-reasonable voice of hers that drives me absolutely batty, “you do it too.” “The heck you say,” I sputtered. “OK, not so much anymore, but you used to, all the time,” she sniffed. “I beg your pardon!” “All. The. Time.” She was right. I’d been known to sidle up within a hair of the car in front of me, impatient for the light to turn green, just like every other driver around me. I don’t think it even occurred to me that people still drove stick shifts. I honestly believed they were an anachronism, like rotary-dial telephones and a good-looking Brad Pitt. Now, of course, I know better. We’re out there, Salisbury — we stick-shift drivers. And we may or may not be skilled enough to avoid playing footsie with your brand new luxury vehicles at the stoplight. So please, if you could help me get the message out — give the car ahead of you some room to breathe at a stoplight. I’d be ever so grateful. I really do want to meet my new neighbors — just not like that.

high-speed Internet fell under the definition of cable television. Only a few municipalities have entered into the broadband network business since then. Wilson has made the most dynamic effort. Wilson city officials borrowed $28 million, without a referendum by voters, to lay the fiber-optic lines and build other infrastructure to create Greenlight, which offers cable, phone and Internet service. Greenlight has drawn nearly 5,000 household customers since it began offering the service in 2008. According to its website, it has the fastest residential Internet speed in North Carolina: 100 megabits per second, compared to 15 megabits offered to Time Warner residential customers in Wilson. If successful, Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort could lure more cities and towns to enter the business, eating into the markets of cable and Internet companies. In 2007, a House committee agreed to require governments to hold public hearings before offering cable and Internet services and keep them from pricing the services below cost. But the bill went nowhere. A similar bill introduced last year ended up as a study proposal for Faisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Market gains set up CEO pay bonanza BY RACHEL BECK Associated Press

Many feel now is time to seek a job WASHINGTON (AP) — A Miami woman who exhausted her unemployment aid needs to pay bills. A Phoenix job-seeker wants a greater sense of purpose. A Boston woman has heard that hiring is picking up. The economy absorbed a flood of 805,000 new jobseekers last month — the sharpest monthly influx in seven years. They were driven by economic need, renewed optimism and evidence that more employers are hiring. They’re right. Companies added a net total of 290,000 jobs in April, the most in four years. Yet so many people poured into the work force that they drove up the unemployment rate from 9.7 percent to 9.9 percent. Hundreds of thousands more will likely join them in the coming months, drawn by the improving economy and the possibility that Congress won’t continually extend unemployment benefits. Their influx would send the unemployment rate back into double digits before it’s likely to decline. And it will keep competition for jobs intense. But those who have streamed into the labor force feel they can’t wait any longer. They are people like

Laura Gonzalez of Miami, whose on-again job hunt is the product of necessity. Her unemployment benefits cut off in April. Gonzalez felt disheartened after being laid off from her job as an associate at an investment company early last year. She’s applied for about 10 jobs a day over the past month. “As much as they say there’s new jobs out there, I don’t see a turnaround at all,” says Gonzalez, 28. Neither does Julie Anderocci of Phoenix. Six weeks ago, she lost her job as a customer service rep for Medicaid. Besides needing money, Anderocci says she yearns for the pride and fulfillment a new job would bring. “Looking for work at my age is the most stressful thing you can think of,” says Anderocci, 56. A sense of urgency infuses the job searches of many. Even with Congress’ recent extensions of unemployment aid, hundreds of thousands of people a month could exhaust their benefits within a few months, according to some analysts’ estimates. Under current law, jobless people can draw unemployment aid for up to 99 weeks.

Yahoo’s ’ Carol Bartz had the greatest total compensation for a CEO in an Associated Press analysis of companies in the S&P 500 that reported pay figures between Jan. 1 and April 30, 2010.

NOTE: Includes salary, perks, bonuses, above-market interest on pay set aside for later and company estimates for the value of stock options and stack awards.

A year ago, after the stock market had collapsed, 90 percent of the options granted in 2008 were worth less than the original estimate, or were considered “underwater,” according to the AP’s analysis. Ford Motor Co. CEO Alan Mulally’s pay package illustrates this point. In March 2009, Ford granted 5 million stock options to Mulally. Using a complex formula, Ford assigned the options an estimated value of $5 million. At the time, Ford’s shares were trading at $1.96. Since then, the stock has jumped nearly sixfold, and Mulally’s options

have a value on paper of about $48 million. Overall, the AP analysis found that the median 2009 pay package for chief executives at companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell by about 11 percent to $7.2 million. That followed a 7 percent decline in 2008 in median pay. Other findings in the AP analysis: • The highest-paid CEO in 2009 was Yahoo Inc.’s Carol Bartz, who received a $47.2 million compensation package during her first year on the job. Ninety percent of her pay came from stock awards and

options that were all granted around the time she was hired in the winter of 2009. • No financial companies were in the AP’s top 10. Three were on the 2008 list. Citigroup Inc.’s Vikram Pandit went from No. 10 in 2008 to the third-lowest paid CEO in the AP analysis in 2009. • The median value of performance-based cash bonuses rose 19 percent, making it the fastest-growing component of executive pay in the AP sample. CEOs generally had to meet goals for profits and stock returns in 2009 to receive the bonuses.

Investors’ resolve tested by plunge, European debt Associated Press

The stomach-churning turmoil that revisited the stock market last week may not be gone yet. That’s not to say investors should brace for another dizzying drop like the intraday 1,000 point plunge in the Dow Jones industrial average on Thursday. Lingering uneasiness over the sudden decline seems likely to muzzle buying activity, however, over the coming week at a time when Europe’s sovereign debt crisis is still unfolding. Further trouble in Greece or elsewhere could re-

“Nerves are frayed and fragile and exposed right now.” ROB LUTTS Cabot Money Management

ignite selling by investors who just saw the stock market’s entire 2010 gain of 8 percent wiped out in a four-day losing streak. “Nerves are frayed and fragile and exposed right now,” says Rob Lutts, president and chief investment officer at Cabot Money Management in Salem, Mass. “The

market is under the control of the short-term investor. Longer-term investors are sitting on the sidelines.” Those short-term investors so far are choosing to “sell in May and go away,” as an old adage goes. The month is off to its worst start ever, with the Standard & Poor’s 500 index down 6.4 percent and having shed $685 billion. Which direction the market goes from here depends on investors’ emotional stability, according to Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist for Charles Schwab & Co. “You probably have a number of investors who think, ’Oh

God, we have another ’08 scenario unfolding here,’ and would be quick to pull the trigger” and sell if the volatility continues, she says. Financial advisers are counseling investors not to panic or overreact to any continued price decline. Apart from Greece, they note, economic indicators underpinning the stock market have been improving. Employers added a net 290,000 jobs in April, the most in four years. Consumer spending and retail sales have steadily perked up. And stronger-thanexpected corporate earnings suggest hiring will accelerate.

Julian Richards fills out an employment application during a job fair in Tacoma, Wash. The economy got what it needed in April: A burst of hiring that added a net 290,000 jobs.

NEW YORK (AP) — America’s top CEOs are set for a once-in-a-lifetime pay bonanza. Most of them got their annual stock compensation early last year when the stock market was at a 12-year low. And companies doled out more stock and options than usual because grants from the previous year had fallen so much in value that many people thought they’d never be worth anything. But stock prices have generally surged ever since. Even with last week’s sharp declines, CEOs still have enormous gains on paper. “The dirty secret of 2009 is that CEOs were sitting on more wealth by the end of the year than they had accumulated in a long time,” says David Wise, who advises boards on executive compensation for the Hay Group, a management consulting firm. An Associated Press analysis of companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index shows that 85 percent of the stock options given to CEOs last year are now worth more than they were on the day they were granted. For some the value jumped by a factor of 10 or more.

BRADEN FROM 1B knocking balls down for me. So this is ours, not just mine, this is ours.” Before this gem, Braden was best known for his enraged reaction to Rodriguez walking across the mound on April 22. Still angry after the game, he told the slugger “to go do laps in the bullpen” if he wanted to traipse across a mound. The squabble was still simmering last week. On Friday in Boston, Rodriguez said he didn’t want to extend Braden’s “extra 15 minutes of fame.” But he struck a far more conciliatory tone Sunday. “I’ve learned in my career that it’s always better to be remembered for some of the good things you do on the field, and good for him,” Rodriguez said before facing Boston. “He threw a perfect game. And, even better, he beat the Rays.” It was the majors’ first perfect game since Mark Buehrle did it for the White Sox against the Rays on July 23, and the second no-hitter this season after Colorado’s Ubaldo

ond player to make The Players Championship his first PGA Tour victory. He had gone more than eight years and 204 tournament with nothing more to show than eight runnerup finishes. Tiger Woods managed to create a buzz without even being there most of the day. He withdrew on the seventh hole because of a neck injury that he fears might be from a bulging disk. Woods said his neck has been bothering him since before the Masters. “I’ve been playing through it,” Woods said. “I can’t play through it anymore.” Phil Mickelson could have moved to No. 1 in the world with a victory, but the Masters champion never gave himself a good chance. He made bogey on three of his opening six holes, closed with a 74 and tied for 17th. Clark won for the fourth time worldwide, yet this was his finest performance. The Players Championship not only is the richest tournament in golf with a $9.5 million purse, it features the strongest and deepest field all year. Clark won with a 66-67 weekend in which he made only one bogey — the 10th hole on Saturday. It was the best weekend on the treacherous Stadium

 Intimidators win Starter Matt Wickswat allowed two hits in six innings and struck out 10 to lead the Kannapolis Intimidators to a 4-0 win at West Virginia on Sunday. Nick Ciollo homerd for the Intimidators and Jose Vargas had a solo homer and a two-run double.

 Middle school track Erwin’s boys scored 135 points and won the Rowan County Middle School Conference Meet. Southeast (128) was the strongest challenger. West Rowan (84) was third. Erwin’s Calvin Edwards exended his own school record in the triple jump to 39 feet, 9 inches. His previous best was 37-10. See Scoreboard for results.

 McCanless Couples The McCanless Couples played nine holes on Sunday with a four-man Captain’s Choice format. First place with a score of 30 went to the team of Kyle Leslie, Robin Leslie, Gene Seaford and Mary Seaford. Harry Owens, Jan Godwin, Beverly Cobb and Ty Cobb shot 31 for second. Juan Garcia, Kim Kincaid and Walt Kincaid shot 33 for third. Closest to the pin was won by Jan Godwin. Longest putt h

 College golf Livingstone golfer Kenny Bethea finished 12th over the weekend at the Minority Collegiate Golf Championship, hosted by the PGA Golf Club. Bethea shot 79-76-73 — 228.

 Wheels for Hailey golf Turning out to play in the “Wheels for Hailey” tournament at Corbin Hills were 115 golfers. Money raised went to the Jackson Family of Rockwell to help fund a handicap wheelchair van for 9-yearold Hailey. Patrick Rodgers captained the winning team, which also included Bill Thompson, Rhett Durham, and Hans Lefebvre. Henry Morgan, Ronnie Eidson, Ricky Adams, and Andrew Morgan placed second. Butch Konz won the putting contest. Buddy Williams won closest to the pin. Sasquatch Morgan won the long-drive hole — No.11.

Jimenez pulled it off in Atlanta on April 17. Braden pitched the A’s first perfect game since Hall of Famer Jim “Catfish” Hunter’s gem on May 8, 1968, against the Minnesota Twins. Only 6,298 were there to witness it. Sunday’s crowd at the Coliseum wasn’t much better: 12,228. Braden (4-2) wasn’t fazed by anything, throwing two-strike changeups and getting quick outs against a Rays team that lost on the road for just the third time this year. He struck out six in the 109-pitch performance, throwing 77 strikes in his 53rd career start and first complete game. Braden’s teammates mobbed him when the Mother’s Day masterpiece was over, leaving bats and gloves scattered on the field. The left-hander pointed to the sky in honor of his mom, Jodie Atwood, who died of cancer when he was a high school senior. He shared a long and tearful hug with his grandmother, Peggy Lindsey, who raised him, in front of the dugout. “It hasn’t been a joyous day for me in a while,” Braden said. “With my grandma in the stands, it makes it a lot better.”

Course since Fred Couples shot 132 to win in 1996. The 36-hole comeback topped the record of six that Woods set when he won in 2001. Clark finished at 16-under 272 and earned $1.71 million. Allenby, winless on the PGA Tour since 2001, closed with a 70 to finish a stroke back. He needed a birdie on the final hole to force a playoff, but missed the green to the right and his 50-foot birdie attempt never had a chance to go in. He earned $1,026,000 as a consolation prize for his second runner-up finish this year. U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover shot 31 on the back, including a 50foot birdie on the 17th, and wound up third at 14-under 274. Lee Westwood of England had the 54-hole lead, just as he did at the Masters last month, and couldn’t hold on. He made one clutch par after another, including a 50-footer on the 15th hole to stay in the game, but his hopes ended with a tee shot into the water on the 17th to make double bogey. Westwood shot 39 on the back and fell into a tie for fourth with Davis Love III, whose 68 was one of only two rounds in the 60s. The other belonged to Clark, and it was a beauty. Clark was three shots behind until knocking in an 18-foot birdie putt on the par-5 ninth, and taking that momentum to the back nine. First came a 6-foot birdie on the 10th, then a tough shot out of the back bunker to 5 feet for birdie on the par-5 11th.

Stewart losing Old Spice

Phoenix finishes sweep

Associated Press

Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Two-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart is losing a sponsor at the end of the season. A spokesman for Old Spice said Sunday it will not renew its sponsorship with Stewart when its current deal expires at the end of the year. The Proctor and Gamble product has partnered with Stewart the past 11 years. Old Spice is the primary sponsor for Stewart’s car in 14 races this season. Office Depot will continue as a co-primary sponsor.

LACROSSE CHARLOTTESVILLE — The Virginia men’s and women’s lacrosse teams must find a way to put aside grief and focus on playing for a national championship. The Cavaliers found out their NCAA tournament seeding Sunday, a day after women’s player Yeardley Love was buried in her native Maryland. The 22-yearold was found beaten in her apartment earlier in the week and Charlottesville authorities have charged George Huguely of the men’s team with first-degree murder in her death. Both teams have decided to play on with the support of Love’s family.

COLLEGE HOOPS PROVO, Utah — BYU guard Jimmer Fredette says he’s coming back for his senior season. Fredette averaged 22 points while leading the Cougars to a schoolrecord 30 wins as a junior. He scored 49 in a win over Arizona and had 37 points as the Cougars beat Florida in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

NHL PLAYOFFS CHICAGO — Kevin Bieksa scored two goals, Roberto Luongo made 29 saves Sunday night and the Vancouver Canucks beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1 to stay alive in the Western Conference semifinals. Chicago leads the series 3-2 and now it heads back to Vancouver — where the Blackhawks captured Games 3-4 — for Game 6 on Tuesday night. Christian Ehrhoff opened the scoring for the Canucks, just 59 seconds into the game.

NBA roundup ... SAN ANTONIO — Steve Nash scored 20 points and played with a right eye that was swollen shut and needed six stitches as Phoenix swept San Antonio from the Western Conference semifinals with a 107-101 win Sunday night. Amare Stoudemire led the way with 29 points to help the Suns get past the Spurs in the playoffs for the first time in five tries. Nash scored 10 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter to help smother a rally by the Spurs. He was accidentally struck by one of Tim Duncan’s elbows in the third quarter and briefly went to the locker room. He came back with an ice pack on his eye when he finally returned to the court. Meanwhile, Phoenix sealed its third trip to the West finals since 2005, and gets another crack at returning to the NBA finals for the first time since 1993. The Suns will either play the Los Angeles Lakers or the Utah Jazz in the West finals. Tony Parker scored 22 points to lead the Spurs, who were swept out of the playoffs for the first time since 2001. Celtics 97, Cavaliers 87 BOSTON — Rajon Rondo had 29 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists, and the Boston Celtics beat the Cleveland Cavaliers to even the Eastern Conference semifinals at two games apiece. Rondo had a playoff career high in rebounds and matched his best scoring night in his fourth postseason triple-double. He played 47 minutes with some of his bigger-name teammates in foul trouble, and fans chanted “MVP! MVP!” as he knocked down a pair of free throws with 17 seconds left. Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett scored 18 apiece for the Celtics, who rebounded from the worst home playoff loss in franchise history and ensured they’ll get at least one more game at home. Game 5 is Tuesday night in Cleveland before the series returns to Boston on Thursday night. LeBron James scored 22 points — only one more than he had in the first quarter of Game 3 — and seemed frustrated during a seven-turnover performance. Shaquille O’Neal added 17 points, his high for this postseason, but was on the bench when the Celtics blew by the Cavaliers in the fourth quarter. 76ers update PHILADELPHIA — Former Detroit player Bill Laimbeer met with the 76ers on Sunday in Dallas to discuss the team’s vacant coaching job. “We want to speak to as many qualified candidates as possible and certainly Bill Laimbeer’s credentials as a player and success as a coach — including three championships in six seasons in the WNBA — speaks for itself,” general manager Ed Stefanski said. “We want to thank Bill for meeting with us.” The 76ers also have talked to Avery Johnson and Doug Collins. They fired Eddie Jordan last month.

Phillies’ bullpen holds off Atlanta Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — Placido Polanco, Jayson Werth and Shane Victorino homered, Cole Hamels survived a shaky start and the Philadelphia Phillies’ bullpen hung on to beat the Atlanta Braves 5-3 on Sunday. Hamels (3-2) struggled on a chilly afternoon at Citizens Bank Park, allowing three runs and eight hits in five innings. He walked four and struck out five. Chad Durbin relieved Hamels and pitched two innings, striking out four of the six batters he faced. Jose Contreras got three outs and Brad Lidge threw a perfect ninth for his first regular-season save since Sept. 20. Giants 6, Mets 5 NEW YORK — Aaron Rowand hit a tworun homer in the eighth inning after the Giants blew a two-run lead for Tim Lincecum, and San Francisco snapped the Mets’ ninegame home winning streak. San Francisco ended its East Coast trip 4-2, while New York — which won the first two games of the series with game-ending homers — lost for the first time at Citi Field since April 21. Lincecum left after six innings with a 42 lead but the Giants fell apart in the seventh. Dodgers 2, Rockies 0 LOS ANGELES — Clayton Kershaw bounced back from the shortest start of his brief career with eight innings of two-hit ball, leading the Dodgers to the victory. Kershaw (2-2) held the Rockies to a pair of infield hits — including a bunt single by cleanup hitter Troy Tulowitzki — and picked off Eric Young after walking him with two out in the fifth. The 22-year-old left-hander struck out nine, walked three and fanned five-time All-Star Todd Helton his first three times up. Tulowitzki left in the bottom of the fifth with a right quad strain.

SEATTLE (AP) — Hitting coach Alan Cockrell was fired by the Seattle Mariners on Sunday, becoming the fall guy for an underperforming offense that is the worst in the American League. Cockrell was scouting in the Mariners video room at Safeco Field when he was called into manager Don Wakamatsu’s office and told of the change by Wakamatsu and general manager Jack Zduriencik. Alonzo Powell was promoted from Triple-A Tacoma, where he’s been hitting coach for three seasons, to take Cockrell’s spot. “Sometimes just the same message from a different messenger sometimes carries some weight, but it’s certainly apparent we’re not doing what we should be.”
