K.P. Parks hires lawyer to challenge Davie County arrest BY JESSIE BURCHETTE jburchette@salisburypost.com
K.P. Parks, the standout West Rowan High running back, has hired a Charlotte law firm to challenge his May 1 arrest in Davie County. A press release issued Tuesday by Charlotte attorney Ken Harris said Parks, a Parade All American Athlete headed for the University of Virginia, was rendered unconscious during the arrest and taken to Davie County Hospital for treatment. “We are in the process of investigating every aspect of this incident,” Harris said in the press release. “We have significant issues
related to even the initial interface between Mr. Parks and Mr. Howell (Trooper Matt Howell of the N.C. Highway Patrol). There are substantial questions about whether Mr. Parks’ actions would have justified even a minor traffic stop by an PARKS on-duty officer, let alone a stop by an off-duty officer who was riding a motorcycle with his wife.” Harris, of the firm Ken Harris &
Associates, said he plans to investigate Howell’s “true status” during the event. “In addition, we will be investigating whether officers from the Sheriff’s Department used excessive force by deploying a taser during the incident,” Harris wrote. Harris asked that anyone who witnessed the events related to Parks being detained and arrested contact him at 704-343-2620. “The public’s assistance will be vital to us gaining a precise understanding of this very concerning incident,” Harris said. In a telephone interview Tuesday afternoon, Harris said “quite a num-
ber of people” witnessed all or part of the arrest and the events surrounding it. Harris said Parks was rendered unconscious for a short period after he was shot with a Taser. The attorney said from a mental and emotional standpoint, Parks “has some issues,” related to the incident. The Highway Patrol and the Davie County Sheriff’s Office gave somewhat conflicting stories of what happened. The Sheriff’s Office contends it was assisting the Highway Patrol after a trooper asked for assistance with a traffic stop.
The Highway Patrol, through its public information officer in Raleigh, suggested it was a Davie County Sheriff’s Office case and that it was up to deputies to decide on charges related to driving while impaired. Parks was suspected of driving while impaired, but not charged. Sgt. Jorge Brewer, the Highway Patrol spokesman, said later the Patrol brought a trooper with specialized training in drug and alcohol testing from Surry County to the hospital to test Parks. Brewer refused to disclose the

Hall calls for runoff
Head-on collision
B Y K ARISSA M INN kminn@salisburypost.com
Commissioner Tina Hall has called for a runoff election for the final spot on the Republican ticket for Rowan County Board of Commissioners. Hall, who finished fourth in the May 4 GOP primary, will run against Commissioner Chad Mitchell, who came in third. The runoff will take place June 22. According to the county Board of Election’s official count Tuesday, Hall received 2,985 votes while Mitchell reHALL ceived 3,426, falling short of the percentage of the total vote needed to avoid a second primary. In an e-mail to the Post Tuesday afternoon, Hall wrote, “I reached this decision after talking with my family and many of my supporters who share my belief that I have more to accomplish. “Since Rowan County election personnel are already required to hold an election for other offices, this request should not require extra expense to taxpayers. “I plan to continue work on the ABC and forced annexation issues among others. I will continue to do MITCHELL everything I can to help the families and businesses of Rowan County through this difficult economic time.” In response to the runoff announcement, Mitchell said it was unfortunate that a small number of voters on June 22 could potentially overturn the decision of a larger number

Driver airlifted after crash involving three cars Staff report
A Cleveland woman was flown to a Charlotte hospital with head trauma Monday afternoon after her car overturned following a head-on collision on Statesville Boulevard. The woman’s condition was not available Monday evening. Police did not release her name because her family had not been notified. Another driver has been charged in the crash. According to a report by Salisbury Police Officer J.P. Miller, here’s what happened: Joseph Daniel McNew, 57, of 1445 Wetmore Road, Woodleaf, was driving a 1992 Cadillac Seville on Statesville Boulevard toward Innes Street and came upon a 2005 Pontiac Sunfire driven by Stefani Marie Cicio, 16, of 1367 Majolica Road. Cicio was stopped behind another car waiting to turn left onto Milford Drive from the four-lane
Statesville Boulevard. McNew couldn’t brake in time to avoid the Sunfire and veered sharply left, crossing the center line and driving into oncoming traffic. The Cadillac collided head-on with a 2008 Kia Optima. The impact sent the Optima into a spin and it rolled over onto its roof. The driver of the Optima was entrapped in the car by her seat belt and had to be extricated by firefighters. The female Optima drive was taken by ambulance to Rowan Regional Medical Center and flown from there to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte. A passenger in the Cadillac was also taken to Rowan Regional with a hand injury and pain in her ribs. There were two passengers in the Sunfire, neither of whom was injured. There were no passengers in the Optima. Miller charged McNew with Emergency personnel workers stand near a 1992 Cadillac Seville crossing the centerline and go- involved in the crash. ing the wrong way.

Anicetti speaks on immigration BY JESSIE BURCHETTE jburchette@salisburypost
A top official at Food Lion /Delhaize American said Tuesday he fears the immigration debate could unravel local efforts at inclusion and diversity. Rick Anicetti, chief executive of Delhaize America Shared Services, said the recently passed Arizona immigration law is fueling a debate that will likely rage for months across the nation. Anicetti said the debate could drown out conversations in communities working to deal with ANICETTI differences and diversity. He spoke Tuesday morning at the Salisbury Optimist Club’s annual Respect for Law Breakfast at First Presbyterian Church. Arizona’s new law, slated to go into effect in July, requires immigrants to carry documents verifying their immigration status. It also re-

A f o r m e r Spencer, officer he joined Granite Quarry full time in 2008. • Kannapolis — Officer Joseph P. Yurco, a detective who has been with the department for five years. YURCO Chavis called Yurco a shining star, going on to praise him for his work on the Craig’s List rapist case. “He always does the right thing ‌ works very long
hours ‌ and no complaints,� Chavis said. • Landis — Detective Roger Hosey. Chief Brian McCoy joked HOSEY that after being named chief in Landis, Hosey quickly caught his attention. Hosey’s new patrol car caught fire and burned to the ground. McCoy said Hosey has worked very hard at the difficult job of being a detective. • N.C. Highway Patrol — Trooper D.T. Sloop. Capt. P.A. Poole of Troop E comm e n d e d Sloop for coming up SLOOP with new
ideas. Poole said Sloop, a 2001 East Rowan High School graduate, is the top-performing trooper in the district, with 1,381 charges. • Rockwell — Officer Steven S. McNeely. C h i e f Hugh Bost noted McNeely has worked for various agencies, including the Sheriff’s Office, China MCNEELY Grove and Landis. For a brief period, McNeely gave up law enforcement to work in security for Wachovia. But Bost said turmoil in the financial sector turned out to be a plus for law enforcement. When Wachovia laid off employees, Rockwell snapped up McNeely.
• Rowan C o u n t y Sheriff’s Office — Investigator T e r e s a Haupt. Sheriff Kevin Auten HAUPT said Haupt always puts “team first ‌ and does whatever it takes. She’s not in it for the glory.â€?

Haupt’s husband, Ed, is a former chief deputy with the Rowan Sheriff’s Office. He is now retired. • Salisbury — Sgt. Lee Walker. Chief Rory Collins said Walker was selected for the award by his peers.

FROM 1A on May 4. Turnout in the first primary election was about 15 percent. “Relatively few voted in the primary, and an extremely small number are going to vote in this runoff during the summer,� Mitchell said. “I just hate that we have to go through an expensive, potentially party-divisive runoff primary when the Republican Party really needs to be thinking about November.� Mitchell said he hoped to participate in a moderated debate with Hall, in order to better inform the voters who will be making a second trip to the polls. “I believe that would be a good thing for this
PARKS FROM 1A results of the test, saying they were part of the investigation. The Highway Patrol charged Parks with following too close and improper passing. The Davie County Sheriff’s Office charged Parks with resisting, obstructing and delaying an officer. Chief Deputy J.D. Hartman of the Sheriff’s Office recently said again the incident was a Highway Patrol case and the deputy was called to assist. Howell, the trooper who was off duty and riding a motorcycle with his wife, followed Parks north for 8 miles on U.S. 601. Howell reported Parks was following unreasonably close
runoff, to really allow people to... measure our views side-by-side,� he said. Hall later said she would be open to the possibility of a debate. While the Board of Election’s official canvass did change vote totals, it confirmed all previously reported election results. More than half of the county’s precincts reported that no nonpartisan ballots were cast, and almost all reported less than four. The exceptions are South Locke and West Landis, with 34 and 15 nonpartisan ballots cast, respectively. Nancy Evans, county elections director, said there were reports last week of some unaffiliated voters not being given the chance to fill out a partisan ballot. In North Carolina, and making unsafe movements. When Parks pulled into a private driveway off Scenic Drive in Mocksville, Howell followed. Howell’s wife used a cell phone to call communications and ask for assistance. During the ensuing effort to charge Parks with two traffic violations, a scuffle broke out. Parks was shot twice with a Taser by a Davie deputy. On-duty troopers arrived and, at some point, Parks was taken to the hospital. The Highway Patrol and the Davie Sheriff’s Office have said Parks was taken to the hospital at his request. Neither agency indicated Parks was unconscious at any point during the arrest. Parks’ family has declined to speak with the Post about the incident.
the location of Ethan’s body, and the search shifted 20 miles away to a spot off a wooded trail in Wolf Canyon, which borders the Powder Mountain ski resort. The resort is about 40 miles northeast of Salt Lake City. It wasn’t clear as searchers were digging up remains when Ethan was killed or how, police said Tuesday. Five officers were seen carrying a blue bag out of the woods late Tuesday afternoon. Atkin refused to describe unaffiliated voters can participate in either party’s primary. Evans said that the concerns of 11 citizens were brought before the Board of Elections, which determined that the problem would not have changed the outcome of the election. “The board did decide to send letters out to all precinct officials letting them know how important it is to let unaffiliated voters choose what ballot they would like to have,� Evans said. Those who voted in the Republican or Democratic primary on May 4 must participate in the same party’s runoff if they vote on June 22. Those who did not vote or filled out an unaffiliated ballot can choose either party.
ANICETTI FROM 1A quires police officers to question a person about his or her immigration status after a “lawful stop� if there is “reasonable suspicion� the person may be in the country illegally. The law has prompted protests nationwide, and a number of lawmakers in California are moving to cut off their economic ties with Arizona. Anicetti said the debate may end real discussion about the issue. Instead of conversation, people will say nothing. At one point, he told a story about people being afraid to swim through a pool filled with alligators to reap untold

Senate Dems say budget lacks teacher pay raise RALEIGH (AP) — Senate Democrats will propose neither experience-based pay raises to schoolteachers nor a bonus for all state employees to pay them back for last year’s furloughs like those the governor sought in her budget plan, chamber leaders said Tuesday. Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue asked lawmakers to give an average 1.8 percent increase for public school teachers based on years of longevity that was suspended last year due to the bad economy. She also wanted to give state workers and teachers an amount equal to 0.5 percent of their salaries. But the Senate’s top leaders, who are aiming next week to pass their proposed adjustments to the second year of the two-year budget that begins July 1, say it’s hard to justify any pay increases when the unem-

RALEIGH (AP) — A private mental hospital in North Carolina has been cited by federal inspectors for serious safety violations after a fight resulted in the arrest of three patients. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Tuesday that Holly Hill Hospital in Raleigh was told April 30 of the finding which means conditions were so serious the safety of patients was considered to be threatened. The newspaper said the hospital has until May 23 to correct the problems, or it could lose Medicare and Medicaid funds. Wake County sends patients to Holly Hill when beds in the state-run mental hospital system are unavailable.
cently proposed a compromise that would pare about 140,000 acres of windy elevations west of Interstate 77 down to about 10,000 acres with good potential for generating power, said Brandon Blevins, wind program coordinator for the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy. The remaining sites are away from the vistas offered from federal and state lands, off bird flyways, yet near existing transmission lines and roads, Blevins said. The wind from the remaining sites could produce between a third and a half of the 760 megawatts generated by Duke Energy’s coalburning Cliffside plant in Cleveland and Rutherford counties, alliance executive director Stephen Smith said. But Senate Majority Leader Martin Nesbitt, DBuncombe, insisted Tuesday that mountain peaks are no place for turbines that may stand 40-stories tall. “When you look at where the wind energy is, it’s on the coast, it’s in the Midwest, it’s in the Gulf,” Nesbitt said. “The wind energy across the mountains is spotty at best.” Nesbitt’s view has the backing of Senate leader Marc Basnight, D-Dare. “I agree with him. We should not put those turbines on top of the mountains,” Basnight said. Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, working at the General Assembly’s request, last year reported the state’s Outer Banks holds strong potential for utility-scale wind energy production that could create thousands of jobs. UNC-CH researchers and Charlotte-based Duke Energy plan a demonstration project in an eastern portion of the Pamlico Sound. The project is undergoing an environmental review by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Duke Energy hopes to start construction within the next two years, spokesman Jason Wall said.

RALEIGH (AP) — As the Gulf of Mexico darkens from a deep-sea oil leak and the push for offshore oil drilling slows, some North Carolina lawmakers say state legislation to regulate large-scale wind farms is likely to die this year. Facing conflicts over funding education and other priorities, boosting job creation and balancing a state budget amid flagging tax collections, legislators said Tuesday they have yet to find a compromise on wind farm regulations. As lawmakers prepared to start their annual session on Wednesday, a pending proposal would establish regulations for where wind turbines can be built. It passed the Senate last year 42-1 with a provision banning energygenerating windmills from Appalachian ridges, a move seen as protecting mountain vistas key to the region’s tourism industry. “I think we plan to leave it alone because anything we try to do, the Senate will put a ban in it,” the House Energy Committee chairwoman, Rep. Angela Bryant, D-Nash, said Tuesday. “So we are hoping that nothing will happen.” But advocates for the state’s growing alternative energy sector want to keep from walling off territory that could be exploited to generate clean energy. The House Energy Committee’s vice chairwoman, Rep. Pricey Harrison, believes the ridge-top ban is a bad idea at a time when windpower companies want to operate in North Carolina and electric utilities are required to get more of their energy from renewable sources. “I think we are reluctant in the House to move a bill that is perceived as being anti-wind at a time when our energy policies are attracting a lot of interest in renewable energy providers,” Harrison, D-Guilford, wrote in an e-mail. “I don’t mean to sound insensitive to the mountain area legislators. They have legitimate concerns. But there is a better way to accommodate their concerns than such legislation.” The bill would require a state permit to build wind farms. They could be blocked if they harm navigation, wildlife or the views from any state or national park. Wind-power advocates re-

FORT BRAGG (AP) — Officials from Florida are visiting North Carolina to promote the upcoming move of a Special Forces team to their state. The work force boards from two Florida counties will host a town hall meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday in Fayetteville. The meeting will address employment, education and housing issues. There will also be booths where organizations representing Oskaloosa and Walton counties will hand out information. About 2,200 soldiers and 4,000 family members from the 7th Special Forces Group at Fort Bragg will move to Eglin Air Force Base in 2011. The move was ordered in 2005 by the Base Realignment and Closure Commission.
would then go to the House, where lawmakers are considering other options to reduce the size of cuts, including a one-time cash influx from profits from the North Carolina Education Lottery. But Rep. Mickey Michaux, DDurham, senior co-chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, said it was unlikely the teacher pay raise and furlough bonus would be considered in his chamber because there’s not enough money to pay for them. Michaux and Senate Democrats also confirmed Tuesday that April 15 tax collections were largely in line with expectations by the Legislature’s top economist and Perdue’s budget office. That means lawmakers have to close a budget gap of least $800 million for the new year’s budget.

The recession has caused the North Carolina Symphony to reduce its annual operating budget from $14.1 million to $11.6 million for the year that ends June 30 not only by cutting salaries, but also by postponing expensive guest artists and declining to perform more elaborate pieces of music.

CAMP LEJEUNE (AP) — Being in the dog house at Camp Lejeune just got a lot nicer. The Daily News of Jacksonville reported 70 new kennels have been unveiled for Camp Lejeune’s military working dogs. The new kennels were built for the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force’s 65 dogs. The state-of-the-art kennels include floor heaters and an energy-saving roof. The kennels are part of the Military Police Support Company’s new headquarters. The 134-man unit was formed in 2008 and has deployed 80 working dogs to Afghanistan and Iraq. The dogs play an integral role in combat operations. They can sniff out explosives and track insurgents back to their safe houses or weapons supplies.
“But we felt like it was a necessary thing to do, and we are doing it with our heads held up high.” The musicians appreciate that the administration has made a big effort to include them in the efforts to make the symphony more effective, Ilika said. For example, conductor Grant Llewellyn has agreed to a 10 percent pay cut, reducing his annual salary from $206,975 to $186,278. Symphony President and CEO David Chambless Worters called the musicians’ pay cut “a stunningly significant sacrifice.” “We would not be here right now without the musicians’ spirit of shared sacri-

RALEIGH (AP) — The musicians of the North Carolina Symphony have agreed to pay cuts that will save the financially strapped orchestra $1 million in each of the next two years. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that the musicians’ union voted last week to approve a 15 percent salary cut during the next two seasons. That means the base pay for a member of the 68-person orchestra will drop to $47,956 per year from the current $59,400 annual salary. “No one likes to take a 15 percent pay cut,” said John Ilika, principal trombone and chairman of the Orchestra Committee, the union group.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A company that recycles automotive catalytic converters plans to create 98 jobs in North Carolina when it locates its production plant in Burke County. Gov. Bev Perdue said Tuesday that VSA LLC will invest $4.5 million in the next two years for the plant in Morganton. The project will receive a $98,000 performance-based grant from the One North Carolina Fund if it meets certain job creation and local match requirements. The average annual wage for the new jobs will be $30,000 — above the Burke County average of nearly $29,000 a year. VSA has its headquarters and a pilot plant in Morganton.
Sheri Strickland, president of the North Carolina Association of Educators, the state’s top teacher lobbying group, said it’s premature to write off the salary increase or the furlough bonus. Many teachers didn’t have time to take the 10 hours off or were forced to at a certain time in the school year, Strickland said. “I don’t think we’re ready this early in this process to say that there’s no way to keep our folks employed while not having their salaries frozen another year,” she said. But Strickland acknowledges the first priority of her 65,000-member group is to keep public educators employed. The NCAE and other education advocates scheduled a rally and march Saturday in Raleigh to try to prevent more public education cuts. The Senate budget measure

Perdue’s budget asked for another $215 million in cuts. Similar reductions last year contributed to districts eliminating more than 5,000 teacher, instructional and other school-related positions statewide. By holding back on the pay raises, the extra district cuts could be minimized, Garrou said. Perdue didn’t comment directly on the senators’ comments in a prepared statement but said “there will be a lot of give and take” on the budget in the session.

Board evaluates action plan to address top health concerns BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
Board of Health members heard details of an action plan and subsequent goals created following a 2009 Community Health Assessment that showed the top county health concern was obesity. “I need the Board to critique the plan,” Health Direc-
tor Leonard Wood said. The board looked through the action plan during its meeting Tuesday and provided feedback about the goals. The health department established a Community Health Assessment Committee to evaluate and collect community health care data that would be compiled into healthrelated priorities. Citizens in
the medical, educational and private sector provided information about community health concerns. The committee’s action plan will include goals for the next three years. These goals represent a cross section of agencies in Rowan County that provide either existing or new services. Once finalized, the action plan will be sent to the
state. Wood spoke briefly about a new program coming to Rowan County called Faithful Families Eating Smart and Moving More. It’s part of a statewide movement to promote increased opportunities for healthy eating and physical activity. The initiative will work with the faith community, particularly black churches.
The main partners involved in the program will include Healthy Rowan! and Cooperative Extension, but there will be opportunities to involve other partners such as the Farmers Market. The project is slated to begin this fall. The goal is to work with four churches each year — a total of 12 in three years — in implementing and
promoting healthier eating. According to survey data, nearly 75 percent of Rowan County adults are considered overweight and obese, based on height and weight measurements. The plan is to decrease that percentage of adults by 5 percent or roughly 3,600 adults by 2013.

Spencer board divided over health coverage Mayor casts deciding vote; option for elected abortions remains BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com
SPENCER — A heated debate on whether or not the Board of Aldermen should remove elected abortions from town employee health coverage ensued during the board’s Tuesday meeting, and the tie-splitting vote was left in the hands of Mayor Jody Everhart. Everhart voted to leave the health coverage as is, siding with Aldermen Reid Walters, Tracy Aitken and Delaine Fowler. Donnie Hinson, Scott Benfield and Jeff Morris voted to take the elected abortion option out of the plan. “Spencer is the only municipality in the county that covers elected abortions,” Morris said. Town Manager Larry Smith said the current health plan covered elected abortions, and that taking the option out of the health plan would not make a difference in cost to the town’s health care policy. Smith called the elected abortion “standard coverage.” “Blue Cross Blue Shield said that if we requested it, they’d pull it, but it wouldn’t be a cost savings,” he said. Walters said he was concerned about the potential problems or abuse of powers pulling the elected abortion could bring. “When it comes to pulling one thing off of insurance coverage, what’s going to stop us from pulling other things off,” he said. Fowler agreed with Walters. “I just worry about the nature of pulling particular items out,” she said, “and whether it become discriminatory.” Morris reiterated his wishes to take the option out. “We would just be falling in line with other municipalities,” he said. “If someone’s life is endangered by a pregnancy, that’s going

A Habitat ReSale Store volunteer helps get the shelves ready for Saturday’s grand opening.
New store, same mission Habitat for Humanity Restore moves to new facility, expects revenue gain for local projects BY KATIE SCARVEY kscarvey@salisburypost.com
Coleman Emerson is a patient man. The executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Rowan County spent five or six years searching for a new and larger space for Habitat’s ReStore operation. The store fairly quickly outgrew its original downtown location at 125 E. Innes St., which opened 13 years ago. “It's been a dream of Habitat for a number of years to expand the retail store,” Emerson said. With the grand opening of a spacious new store Saturday, that dream has come to full fruition. The new Habitat ReStore — huge, and bright blue, you can’t miss it — is at 1707 S. Main St. in what was most recently the Aluminum Fab and Railing manufacturing plant. The building was on the market for three years before Habitat acquired it, along with 1.7 acres of land, for $395,000, according to Emerson. Habitat bid on the property in November 2008; an Phase 1 Environmental Study followed, which took about six months. The building officially changed hands in July of 2009, with financing from F&M Bank. Jarrell Contractors began renovations in October. Burl Brady served as architect and Alex Bost did the design work. The new facility, 20,000 square feet in all, boasts 12,000 square feet of retail showroom. Having that kind of room was important to Elizabeth Brady, director of store operations, who, along with store manager Regina Stansel, has had to deal with a

Cruising through the new store, you’ll see an extensive variety of merchandise, all neatly organized into sections. “That’s a number 63 Smith Novelty Swivel Rocker,” Emerson says, in the tone of someone who knows, pointing to a vintage chair. He used to work for Bassett Furniture Industries and later owned and operated a furniture store in Salisbury. Kitchen items, Christmas decorations, couches, beds, home entertainment centers, refrigerators, outdoor furniture, linens, art, paint: you can find it all here. Shoppers may be surprised to discover
that much of the merchandise is brand new, thanks to corporate donations. Lowe’s has donated, among other things, plastic storage containers, light fixtures, cleaning supplies, curtains and curtain rods. Not everything is practical, of course: you’ll also find things you want but don’t necessarily need: vintage comic books, an antique tin doll house, tribal-inspired art, old license plates. Clothing is one thing you won’t find. Habitat’s retail operation is particularly important in a tough economy. “It’s a way to keep funding the projects when monetary donations are down,” Brady says. “Items contributed locally help build a house locally,” Emerson adds. “Most everybody’s got something they want to get rid of.” To date, Habitat has built 79 houses in Rowan County and the 80th is under construction. While proceeds from the old store funded about one building project per year, Emerson projects that the new store will be able to fund three to four houses annually. The new facility more than just retail space, however. All of the organization’s operations have been consolidated under one roof, including the staff offices, which used to be on Depot Street. The new location will make it easier to solicit applications from new homeowners, Emerson said.

Faith officials search for answers behind inaccurate meter readings BY KATHY CHAFFIN kchaffin@salisburypost.com
FAITH — Aldermen discussed the town’s problems with inaccurate meter readings during their meeting Monday. Engineer Mike Koser reported on the May 3 meeting with Utilities Director Jim Behmer, Engineer Mike West, both of of SalisburyRowan Utilities, and Fred Summers of N.C. Rural Water to discuss the cause of increased meter readings. Al-
dermen Bill Johnson and Mark Shores also attended. Shores explained after the meeting that the meter readings spiked in October, increasing the amount to be billed the town by the Salisbury-Rowan Utilities for treating its sewage from around $7,000 to $9,000 a month to $15,000 to $17,000. “Both Salisbury-Rowan Utilities and Faith are trying to figure out why this is happening,” he said. Shores said there has been more rain since October, “but
they’ve also found other issues that may cause it to read higher.” Koser said the problem could be the meters. As for what kind of meters the town should purchase to replace them, he said he wasn’t sure. “They all have strengths and weaknesses,” he said. Shores said the meters the town has been using were not really set up to be billing meters. “And I don’t think either Salisbury or us knew that in the beginning,” he said.
“That’s one of the issues we’re trying to resolve is to get a meter that is certified to be a billing meter.” The proper placement of the meters is also important, he said. “Jim Behmer has been good to work with,” Shores said. “His goal is to make sure we get accurate readings. I don’t think the city has any intention of overcharging Faith for its water treatment.” Also at the meeting, 1st Sgt. Todd Taylor of the Granite Quarry-Faith Joint Police Au-
thority reported that the department had received $2,430 in free equipment from the Governor’s Highway Safety Program with the redemption of points for traffic safety projects conducted during the previous year.

CRIME ROUNDUP Employees’ cars scratched at Erwin Middle School Vandals did more than $5,000 damage to school employees’ cars parked at Erwin Middle School last week. One or more vandals targeted cars in a back parking lot where staff members park. The cars were scratched, damaging the paint. The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident, which occurred the morning of May 5 at the school at 170 St. Lukes Church Road. According to a report filed by Deputy T. M. Cook, 10 cars were damaged. The vehicles targeted ranged from a 2002 Olds Bravada to a Chevrolet Malibu. Estimated damage for each vehicle ranged from $200 to $900. And another school employee reported May 6 that her car was damaged an estimated $1,000 when someone “keyed” it on April 29. In other Sheriff’s Office reports: • Two guns valued at $5,000 were taken in a break in at a home on Millbridge
Road on May 4 or 5. Lanny Dale Burton reported the theft of a 410 Winchester pump shotgun and an Ethea 28-gauge double-barrel shotgun. • Thieves took more than $12,000 worth of tools and assorted motorsports-related items from a vehicle/trailer parked at 803 Performance Road, Mooresville. The theft, which occurred April 29 or 30, was reported May 4. According to a report by Deputy M.M.

are exempted from the nosmoking restrictions. Most of the establishments have been compliant, a memo said, but there have been less than a dozen that have not. The Environmental Health staff are recommending an administrative penalty for establishments in violation of the law. The board agreed they need to sit down with county attorney Jay Dees to iron out the appeals process and procedures. “Jay should have a hand in the crafting,” said board member Chad Mitchell. He said the fact that the appeals process could go through district court, takes the appeal to a whole other level. The complainant has a certain amount of time to file an appeal for the violation. The statute says the complainant has 30 days to appeal the decision and once the health director receives the notice, he has five days to notify the board of health the appeal has been filed. Board member Dan Mikkelson questioned why Wood only has five days to notify the board when the person filing the appeal has an entire month. “The turnaround needs to be looked at,” he said. • Consider opposing a resolution circulating throughout the state for a well program that will revert to the days of no inspection and less protection for the public.
There is a bill in the House that is looking at allowing licensed well drillers to “selfcertify” grout installations to “improve customer service to the homeowner by reducing construction time and allow both drillers and county inspectors to be more productive,” the resolution said. Essentially, if passed, this bill would eliminate the need for environmental inspections. Currently well drillers’ work must be inspected by the county and there are some instances when the county inspectors may be unavailable. This bill is saying if a county inspector isn’t available then the grout inspection, which is the most time consuming, could be “self-certified” by the drillers. The time delays could be costly for homeowners and well drillers alike. “They don’t want to incur costs,” Wood said after the meeting. There would be no well program in North Carolina if this bill is passed, he said. The Board approved to not support the bill. • Received $500 from Smart Start Rowan to be awarded to Healthy Beginnings Activity, a program that works to reduce minority infant mortality rates and help prevent low-birth-weight babies.

• The board asked Smith and Public Works Director Jeff Bumgarner to look over the budget once more to determine how every problem road in Spencer can be patched, sealed, or paved. • Smith presented a preliminary budget, which left a deficit of $73,204 on the town. A new insurance plan would help the deficit, Smith said, but nothing was finalized by the board. • The board adopted an overflow parking ordinance that will allow parking lots (related to outdoor purposes) of less than one acre to be unpaved, but can have a natural buffer between parking, such as planters. The board will hold its next regularly scheduled meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 8.

HALL CALLS FOR RUNOFF
No stranger to controversy Putting Kagan on the map ommissioner Tina Hall has raised the hackles over the past four years of the Rowan Jobs Initiative, the Miller Davis firm, the Rowan County ABC Board, the Board of Education and many others. With a record like that, did anyone really think she would shy away from calling for a runoff? “I have more to accomplish,” Hall says. This could be more interesting than the initial primary. Though she won her seat in 2006 as a Democrat, Hall ran this year as a Republican and wound up 441 votes behind incumbent Chad Mitchell. That made her fourth in the race for three seats. Mitchell could be considered Hall’s political senior; he has been on the board longer, has been active in the GOP and is considered a conservative. Some people probably counseled Hall to let this HALL race be. But that’s not Hall’s way. With a statewide runoff already necessitating the opening of the polls on June 22, no amount of newfound party loyalty could deter Hall from calling for a runoff. To be truthful, “Independent” would be a more fitting label for Hall. When she MITCHELL found herself out of sync with the local Democratic Party, she became a Republican. It looked like a winning move, and Hall received more votes in the GOP primary this year (2,873) than she did in the Democratic primary in 2004 (2,458). But greater turnout in the GOP meant she needed more votes to win this spring. If she’d remained a Democrat, she could have sat out the primary season. Now she’s headed for a head-tohead battle. On to the real question at hand: Which Republicans and unaffiliated voters will line up behind Hall and which ones will side with Mitchell? Pure party loyalty would favor Mitchell, the lifelong Republican who has often provided the swing vote on the board. Hall will likely win support from hard-line conservatives who see all issues as black and white, with no shades of gray in between — and certainly no swing votes. She voted with Jim Sides virtually 100 percent of the time when they were both on the board, and he’s as hard-line as they come. Mitchell is likely to win the voters who supported Commissioner Jon Barber, who led the ticket. The two are far from political buddies; Barber sided with challengers in the primary. But he and Mitchell have this in common — they’re not Jim Sides. Or his protegé. That could give Mitchell the edge. But a lot can happen between now and June 22, and Rowan voters have been known to pull surprises. Will this runoff cause a rift in the local GOP? Certainly. But voters have short memories. Tina Hall has the right and the backbone to call for a runoff. This could be a test of what Rowan Republicans really stand for.

Watch as he dazzles with one hand, holding up another round of eye-catching ethics reform.

The biggest order of business will be passing a state budget in another year where money is scarce, tax collections down. Other than the budget, another batch of ethics reform awaits legislators.

Supreme Court nominee hardly ordinary folks ASHINGTON — The magnificent author and son of the Great Santini, Pat Conroy, began “The Prince of Tides” with these words: “My wound is geography. It is also my anchorage, my port of call.” Those 13 words imprinted on my brain when I first read them years ago and have stuck with me. Somewhat oddly, they came to mind a few days ago upon the nomination of Elena Kagan to the U.S. Court. KATHLEEN Supreme Much has PARKER been made of Kagan’s career path and her professional trailblazing. Despite a lack of any judicial experience, she is the first of her sex in two previously male-dominated domains — first female dean of Harvard Law School and first female U.S. solicitor general. No small accomplishments. But though we are what we do, what we do is not all of what we are. We are also products of place. Where we grew up and how we experienced the physical environment of our formation are also a part of who we are. What is Kagan’s geography? What is her anchorage, her port of call? Coincidentally, she shares the same hometown as the other two women on the court. Assuming Kagan is confirmed, all three women will hail from New York City. Kagan grew up on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, Sonia Sotomayor is from the Bronx, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg is from Brooklyn. If diversity on the court is our goal, we may be missing a region or two.
W
These facts ultimately may be more anecdotally interesting than significant in terms of how a judge might perform. Then again, spending one’s formative years walking past the infamously crime-riddled “Murder Hotel” en route to school, as Kagan did — and, say, walking past the First Baptist Church to ballet class — are not the same cultural marinade. The latter hypothetical is proffered only for the sake of contrast and metaphor. It seems remote to unlikely that a woman whose life has involved Baptist churches and ballet slippers would find herself on a track to today’s Supreme Court, though that ought not to be the case. Women are not of one cloth. (As a footnote, retired Justice Sandra Day O’Connor grew up between El Paso, Texas, and an Arizona ranch and is a famously good dancer.) Both current female justices and Kagan also attended Ivy League schools, not that there’s anything wrong with that. But does a gender-mixed court featuring Kagan, Sotomayor and Ginsburg qualify as a diverse court because they are women? Or do these three represent ideological purity in a lace bib? The jury is still out. President Obama has made clear his desire to nominate justices who are in touch with “ordinary Americans.” He specifically mentioned “empathy” in choosing Sotomayor. Before Kagan’s nomination, Obama said he wanted someone with a “keen understanding of how the law affects the daily lives of the American people.” He wanted a justice who, like retiring John Paul Stevens, “knows that in a democracy, powerful interests must not be allowed to drown out the voices of ordinary citizens.”
LETTERS Let’s Get Connected to have blessing The annual Let’s Get Connected Day will be held at Sloan Park on this Saturday, May 15 from 11a.m. until 1 p.m. We will dedicate the fourth Peace Pole for this community. It is inscribed with the message “May Peace Prevail on Earth.” The languages on this pole are English, Gaelic, Dari (Afghanistan),Creole (Haiti), Swahili (Kenya), Catawba (Native American), Russian, Philipino. As with every year, the highlight will be the Circle of Prayer. This year we have a Buddhist monk from Charlotte who will share ancient blessings for the dedication of the peace Pole. The religions represented will be Christian, Jewish, Islamic and Buddhist. A special feature on the program will be Seddiq Behrooz, native of Afghanistan, who will tell in story the custom of kite flying from his homeland. Seddiq will say a prayer for peace in his mother tongue, Dari. The Covenant Community Connection, which is the sponsor of this event is a sub-group of the Salisbury Rowan Human Relations Council, would like to invite the community to Sloan Park to celebrate our unity in diversity and our universal desire for peace. — Betty Jo Hardy Salisbury
TO THE
Enter Kagan? Certainly New York City dwellers would argue that they struggle with ordinary concerns, just in a more densely arranged environment. But New York, like other urban areas, tends to be more liberal than the vast rest of the country. More than half the country also happens to be Protestant, yet with Kagan, the court will feature three Jews, six Catholics, and nary a Protestant. Fewer than onefourth of Americans are Catholic and 1.7 percent are Jewish. One does not have to be from a rural Georgia backwater (Clarence Thomas), or the child of recently arrived immigrants (Antonin Scalia and Samuel Alito), to qualify as a justice, though it might help in claiming identity with ordinary people. One could even argue that it matters only that one regard the law with utter neutrality. But the president adheres to the ordinary-people principle, and so the question must be asked: Does Kagan meet the standard? She may have other qualifications, including her willingness at Harvard to invite conservative scholars to her faculty. But a New York City girl who attended a prep school, Ivy League colleges and law school — who once barred military recruiters from Harvard’s recruitment office and was an adviser to Goldman Sachs — can’t be characterized as anything close to mainstream America. Either Obama may want to tweak his operating narrative -- or geography may well be Kagan’s wound. • • • Kathleen Parker writes columns for The Washington Post.

Sticking up for Knox The writer is responding to a May 1 letter from Julie S. Pinkston, “Respecting flag,” and a May 7 letter from Gerry Wood, “Message to students: say pledge ‘or else.’ “ My name is Ashley Robinson and I am responding to two letters that I saw in the newspaper about my school. Basically I am saying back off of my school. I do not appreciate you people making a big deal about a pledge. I mean, for crying out loud. I may be leaving from this school next year, but I still care about it and everyone needs to respect that. — Ashley Robinson Salisbury
Don’t judge school I’m a student at Knox Middle School, and what you heard about Knox may be true or it may not be. Don’t judge Knox because you’ve been here one time. That tells you nothing. If we don’t stand for the pledge,
it’s not like you haven’t seen it anywhere else. No, we’re not brats. Why do you care about what happens at Knox Middle School? Do you know me? No. I’m not a terrorist. I happen to like Knox Middle School. You can’t know what happens at Knox because you came here one time. Wow. — Alexis Feamster Salisbury
Good police chief I would like to address the person who wrote a comment about Eddie Kluttz, our police chief. Eddie has been a policeman ever since graduating from high school. He served 31 years in the military, protecting us and our country. Serving us well. He had three children, all in college at the same time. He has to work. So I would ask this person, “What have you done for your country and fellow citizens today?” — Carl A. Mecimore China Grove
Legislators ... have shown no interest in closing the campaigngiving loophole. would require state board and commission appointees to disclosure campaign fund-raising activities and prohibit some vendors holding state contracts from giving to the politicians who oversee those contracts. Action is also likely on a House proposal to keep highlevel executive branch employees from registering as lobbyists immediately after leaving their positions. Some additional ethics requirements that Gov. Beverly Perdue has placed on her board and commission appointees, including meeting attendance requirements, also may be put on all state appointees. It’s hard argue against most of those proposals. But it’s really nibbling around the edges. In fairness to our legislators and the current leadership, they did pass significant ethics reforms in 2006 and 2007, helping to change the culture of the legislature. Gift bans and conflict of interest laws mean that legislators no longer troll around following floor sessions in search of a lobbyist to treat them to a fancy steak dinner. Legislators aren’t converting their campaign accounts into their personal kitty to buy cars. Lobbyists worry about whether their actions could represent conflicts that could run afoul of the law and damage their clients. Still, legislators on both sides of the aisle have shown no interest in closing the campaign-giving loophole that allows large sums of money to be passed through the political parties, circumventing a $4,000 donation limit. It’s a loophole that is central to the ongoing scandal surrounding former Gov. Mike Easley. Donors connected to Easley gave five- and six-figure donations to the state Democratic Party at the same time they sought developmentrelated regulatory approvals from his administration. That loophole allows legislative leaders, particularly the Democrats in power, to target swing districts critical to keeping or winning majorities in the legislature. And it makes the legislators from those districts obligated to the leaders who raised the money. If legislative leaders want to get serious about a true source of corruption in North Carolina, they’ll stop the magic show, acknowledge the sleight of hand and agree to no longer perform this little trick. • • • Scott Mooneyham writes columns for Capitol Press Association.

Town manager in western N.C. resigns WEST JEFFERSON (AP) — A northwestern North Carolina town manager has resigned following his arrest on several charges, including driving while impaired. The Winston-Salem Journal reports that West Jefferson town manager Greg McGinnis submitted his resignation on May 4, and Mayor Dale Hudler announced it on Monday night. The board of aldermen voted 5-0 to accept it. Town finance manager Brantley Price was appointed interim town manager. McGinnis was arrested April 27. The state Highway Patrol says the town-owned car McGinnis was driving hit a utility pole. He was charged with DWI, hit and run, failure to stop for property damage and carrying a concealed gun.

SEC: Regulators yet to determine cause of plunge WASHINGTON (AP) — Regulators need more time to figure out what caused last week’s stock market plunge, the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission told a congressional panel Tuesday. SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro said her agency has yet to pinpoint the reason for the sell-off that sent the Dow Jones industrial average down nearly 1,000 points in less than half an hour, stunning Wall Street and Washington. “We will move as quickly as we can but I can’t give you a final date,” Schapiro said at a hearing examining the historic market drop. “We are unable to point to a single event which could be the sole cause” at this point in the SEC’s investigation, Schapiro testified. But some causes have been ruled out: The agency’s review found no evidence of terrorist activity or computer hacking. There also was no evidence “that this was done in any kind of a malicious way,” Schapiro told the House Financial Services subcommittee on capital markets. She said the scenario of a “fat finger” error, involving the typing of billions of shares rather than the intended millions, can’t yet be definitely ruled out as a possible cause of the disruption but that the investigations by the SEC and the exchanges hadn’t found
such an error. Schapiro said establishing a stronger, more uniform system — across all exchanges — for slowing trading during periods of fierce price swings would help. Six major U.S. securities exchanges on Monday agreed in principle to a uniform system of “circuit breakers,” which could slow trading during sharp market swings. Most of the 50 U.S. exchanges regulate themselves and design their own tools for slowing or halting trading. Schapiro and her fellow SEC commissioners will review the recommendations submitted by the exchanges for a marketwide system of circuit breakers, SEC spokesman John Nester said after the hearing. He said the exchanges also have provided suggestions “for handling clearly erroneous trades in a more objective and transparent manner.” The SEC commissioners and staff “will review the recommendations and work with the exchanges ... over the next few days,” Nester said in a statement. The May 6 market free fall highlighted the growing complexity and diversity of the securities market. Upstart electronic trading platforms now compete with the traditional exchanges and powerful computers give traders a split-sec-
ond edge in buying or selling stocks. The plunge also underscored the growing importance of trading in options, which allow investors to trade based on expectations for a particular stock, or group of stocks, to rise or fall, rather than simply trading the underlying stock. “The interconnections among markets ... have grown immensely more complex over the past few years,” Schapiro told the subcommittee. “Orders in one stock directed to one market can now ricochet to other markets, and trigger (mathematical) executions in other stocks and derivatives in milliseconds.” Schapiro and Gary Gensler, chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, pointed to a rapid drop in prices during last Thursday’s tumult for the “E-Mini June,” a popular security that tracks the expected value of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index for June 2010. That was believed to lead to steep price declines for related stocks, such as that of Procter & Gamble Co. Gensler testified that one trader took a large short position in the E-Mini, selling “on the way down and (continuing) to do so even as the price level recovered.” That could indicate that the trader, who wasn’t named, was betting on a price decline.
Stocks mostly hold gains FAITH NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market showed signs of stability Tuesday as major indexes held on to most of their rebound from last week’s big drop. The Dow Jones industrial average fell about 37 points after fluctuating for much of the day. Broader indicators were mixed. Analysts said it was reassuring that the market kept most of its gains from Monday, when the Dow soared 405 points in response to the creation of a bailout fund for weak countries like Greece. Tuesday’s trading signaled that the previous day’s big
move wasn’t solely driven by euphoria. “I’m very encouraged by the market action,” said Keith Walter, portfolio manager of the Artio Global Equity Fund in New York. “I think today was a more important day than yesterday.” More bad news from Europe or elsewhere could always unravel the advance. Even with Monday’s rise, stocks are only back to where they were about a week ago. The easing of worries about Europe allowed traders to focus on the stronger economic picture

STORE FROM 4A The new site is more volunteer-friendly as well, with a break-room and lockers. Since Habitat is volunteerdriven, according to Emerson, that’s important. “We’ve got a lot of great volunteers that we can’t do without,” he says. The parking area is spacious, and Brady particularly likes that the lot offers access from two different streets and is easy to reach from Jake Alexander Boulevard. Habitat has recently acquired a new forklift to help process donations, particularly in the corporate stockroom. The new set-up facilitates unloading 18-wheelers on the loading dock. A drive-up donation area
makes drop-offs convenient for individual donors. The store will continue its practice of picking up large items. Brady points out that the store accepts construction materials, including lumber, cabinets, countertops, bathtubs, sinks — “anything in useable condition,” she says. Habitat staff members have found it gratifying to transform a vacant building and improve the neighborhood. “We liked that we could renovate an existing building and repurpose it,” Brady says. Emerson agrees. “This area will be enhanced by this property,” he says. “Salisbury will be enhanced.” The Woodson Foundation
has given Habitat a grant to help support the new store, and Emerson hopes additional grants are in the offing. He doesn’t want anyone to forget the store’s ultimate purpose: “The entire reason to do this is to help build houses for Rowan County families,” he says. A dedication service for the new facility will take place Saturday at 8:45 a.m.. with doors opening by 9 a.m. From 10 a.m.-2 p.m., free hot dogs, hamburgers and Cheerwine will be offered while supplies last. Store hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Donations may be dropped off during normal business hours. Call the ReStore at 704642-1222 for more information.

Congress calls drilling execs to account for ‘cascade of failures’ behind Gulf oil spill
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s new health care law could potentially add at least $115 bil-
Kagan’s public record lacks clear signal of how she would vote WASHINGTON (AP) — Elena Kagan’s opposition to the Pentagon’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on gay troops is a rare insight into her personal views. Kagan’s public record, thinner than most earlier Supreme Court nominees, otherwise offers supporters and critics little assurance about how she would vote as a justice. President Barack Obama nominated Kagan on Monday to replace Justice John Paul Stevens, who will retire this summer. Kagan is expected to vote the same way as Stevens, the leader of the court’s liberals, on most issues. But the assessment of her anticipated
votes is based more on her affiliation with two Democratic administrations than on her record. With the exception of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” which she condemned as a discriminatory “moral outrage,” Kagan has more often been circumspect and cautious about injecting her own views into her public words. She worked in the Clinton White House and the Obama Justice Department, putting forward or defending the administration position. At Harvard Law School, she saw her role as dean as inclusive and generally avoided polemics. Writing about Kagan’s view of the First Amendment, UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh wrote on his blog, The Volokh Conspiracy, that it’s “hard to predict” from her writings how Kagan would decide cases as a Supreme Court justice. Volokh praised Kagan’s scholarship, saying her articles “go behind glib generalizations and formalistic distinctions.”

If Congress approves all the additional spending called for in the legislation, it would push the ten-year cost of the overhaul above $1 trillion — an unofficial limit the Obama administration set early on. The Congressional Budget Office said the added spending includes $10 billion to $20 billion in administrative costs to federal agencies carrying out the law, as well as $34 billion for community health centers and $39 billion for Indian health care. The costs were not reflected in earlier estimates by the budget office, although Republican lawmakers strenuously argued that they should have been. Part of the reason is technical: the additional spending is not mandatory, leaving Congress with discretion to provide the funds in follow-on legislation — or not. “Congress does not always act on authorizations that are put into legislation by drafters,” explained Kenneth Baer, a spokesman for the White House budget agency. “Authorizations for discretionary spending are not expenditures.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress called BP and its drilling partners to account Tuesday for a “cascade of failures” behind the spreading Gulf oil spill, zeroing in on a crucial chain of events at the deep-sea wellhead just before an explosion consumed the rig and set off the catastrophic rupture. In back-to-back Senate inquiries, executives of the three companies at the heart of the massive spill were chastised by senators over attempts to shift the blame to each other. And they were asked to explain why better preparations had not been made to head off the accident. “Let me be really clear,” Lamar McKay, chairman of BP America, told the hearing. “Liability, blame, fault — put it over here.” He said: “Our obligation is to deal with the spill, clean it up and make sure the impacts of that spill are compensated, and we’re going to do that.” By “over here,” McKay meant the witness table at which BP, Transocean and Halliburton executives sat shoulder to shoulder. And despite his acknowledgment of responsibility, each company defended its own operations and raised questions about its partners in the project gone awry. Lawmakers compared the calamity to some of history’s most notorious mishaps from sea to space in the first congressional inquiry into the April 20 explosion and so-far unstoppable spill. In the crowded hearing room, eight young activists sat in quiet protest, with black T-shirts saying, “Energy Shouldn’t Cost Lives.” Several wore black painted spots near their eyes to symbolize tear drops made from oil.

NEW SOUTHERN COOKIN’ Southern cuisine and cookbooks grow in popularity B Y M ARY F OSTER Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Contemporary southern cooking is getting a taste of something fresh — respect. Even above the MasonDixon Line, the food of the South no longer is about fried chicken and barbecue cliches. It’s a celebration of local, vibrant produce and carefully raised meats; of exotic ingredients like collards, okra, pork bellies and grits; and of traditions and cultures as deep, varied and flavorful as the foods. “The South has always been cyclically hip,” says John T. Edge, director of Southern Foodways Alliance. “But now it’s become a permanent condition. America is coming to appreciate the range of culture and tradition in the South.” That appreciation has made it possible to dine on great down-home food in places as varied as Oregon, Illinois and New York. At Hungry Mother in Cambridge, Mass., for example, chef Barry Maiden serves up what he and his partners call “contemporary American” food. The menu sports cornmeal-dredged catfish and other southern classics that draw on Maiden’s childhood in rural southern Virginia. “For a few years now I think southern cooking has become known as a serious type of cooking,” Maiden said. That interest also has produced a flood of award-winning cookbooks and chefs that can do better than just hold their own against the rest of the country. This year’s James Beard Foundation cookbook awards, for example. All three of the finalists for top American book are southern — “My New Orleans,” by John Besh; “Real Cajun,” by Donald Link; and “The Lee Bros. Simple Fresh Southern,” by Matt Lee and Ted Lee. Food & Wine magazine will even devote its September issue to the region and its food. “We’ve seen a huge rise in interest in the food of the South outside the South,” says Dana Cowin, the magazine’s editor-in-chief. “We’re seeing an expansion of ideas for southern food being adopted by cooks in other areas. There are people doing wonderful southern cooking in New York, in Boston, in
Chicago.” In many ways, the South has benefited from a growing national interest in local and crafted foods. “A few years ago you used to go to the farmers market and everything was from Florida or California,” says Kathleen Purvis, food editor at the Charlotte Observer and chairwoman of the James Beard Book Awards Committee. “Now it’s locally grown for the most part, and that is certainly a reflection of southern cooking, which is closely tied to the land.” She also thinks the interest isn’t all that new, pointing out that Craig Claiborne was writing about the South during the ‘70s, and Joe Dabney won a Beard award in 1999 for his cookbook “Smokehouse Ham, Spoon Bread, & Scuppernong Wine.” In explaining the appeal, Edge points to the variety of southern cooking, which includes Cajun, Creole, soul and seafood. “It’s an area comparable in size to Western Europe,” he says. “And it has the same range of cultures.” Television also has played a role, giving voice to advocates such as Paula Deen and her sons, Jamie and Bobby Deen, who have launched their own shows and cookbooks. The scattering of southerners across the country that has taken place in recent years — some forced by Hurricane Katrina — may also account for some of the spread of down-home fare. “I used to take the pimento cheese sandwiches my mother made for my lunch, the red velvet cakes for my birthday, the grits for Sunday breakfast for granted,” says Bon Appetit magazine restaurant editor Andrew Knowlton. Moving north made him appreciate the rich culinary traditions of the South, says Knowlton, who grew up in Atlanta. “When chefs started focusing on local food, the South was a natural place for them to focus,” he says. “Both in terms of flavor and tradition.” Because of that, Knowlton says he now can get such southern delights as boiled peanuts, deviled eggs and his beloved pimento cheese in cities from Portland, Ore., to Portland, Maine. “And you practically can’t find a restaurant now that is-

Chef Donald Link working in the kitchen holds a cooked soft shell crab at the Cochon restaurant in New Orleans. Southern cooking, once thought of as a cuisine in which everything was fried, or overcooked, or soaked in gravy or full of fat, has taken on a new luster and sparked a growing interest. n’t serving Anson Mills grits,” he joked, referring to the Charleston, S.C., company that specializes in heirloom grains. Besh, one of the contenders for this year’s Beard award, says he sees the interest as a sign that the country’s culinary appreciation is maturing, that Americans all over are taking pride in the nation’s various cultures.
“We’re finally comfortable with where we are as a country,” he says. “We are more open to the traditions in this country now, and the South has remained true to those traditions, especially its food traditions.” Those traditions are celebrated at the Southern Foodways Alliance, the goal of which is to “document, study and celebrate Southern food
cultures,” according to Edge. “The South has always been close to its roots,” he says. “There is a food tradition here that continues and is celebrated.” Southern food also has some advantages, including a longer growing seasons and a tradition of using local ingredients, according to the Lee brothers, who won the American cookbook catego-
ry in 2007 with their book, “The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook.” “Southern cooks have traditionally lived close to the land,” says Ted Lee. “People say we’re trying to bring a California infusion to our food, but we’ve always used fresh ingredients and fixed them to emphasize flavor.” For recipes, see Page 3B
‘Ask a Master Gardener’ booth at Farmers Market B Y K ATHERINE J ONES For The Salisbury Post
DARRELL BLACKWELDER/FOR THE SALISBURY POST
The Salisbury Farmers Market will feature plenty of flowers this week.
This week at the Salisbury Farmers Market will somewhat mirror the last couple of weeks. An abundance of plants including vegetables, flowers, herbs and perennials are available for the home gardeners. There were 25 vendors at the market last Saturday and at least 10 of them had a good selection of plants. New to the market this year is an “Ask a Master Gardener” booth. Debbie Walker, a master gardener volunteer, who has written many articles for the Salisbury Post, will be at the booth for the month of May. The purpose is to provide information about Rowan County horticulture and to help identify pests, diseases or other problems. You are encouraged to bring a sample of the affected plant in a sealed plastic bag to protect other plants at the market. Some of your ques-
tions may need to be researched. If so, you will get a response by phone or e-mail later in the week. Soil sample kits will be available as well as garden calendars. You can also contact Rowan County Extension Agent Darrell Blackwelder at 704-216-8970. To locate the booth look for the beautiful yellow stained glass pansy on display. To make your shopping more convenient, the Salisbury Farmers Market is now accepting debit and credit cards. Just locate the booth that processes the cards and purchase the special farmers market tokens in five dollar denominations. You can spend these tokens with any vendor. If the amount of your purchase is less than the token value the vendor will give you change in cash. Unused tokens can be used at a later date. There was one new vendor at the market last week. Cindy Sipp of Quilts and More had a large selection of quilts, wall
hangings, table runners and many other interesting handmade items. You can expect strawberries for a couple more weeks as well as many varieties of lettuce and Cole crops. Local squash and cucumbers are expected in about two or three weeks. I tried the hot house tomatoes and they were great. Join me this week for a wonderful shopping experience. For more information about the Farmers Market visit www.salisburyfarmersmarket.com. The Farmers Market is located in downtown Salisbury at the corner of South Main and Bank streets. It is open Wednesday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon. Katherine Jones is a master gardener Volunteer for the Cooperative Extension Service in Rowan County. She and Sue Davis will be providing a Farmers Market update each week.

Dress duty. I was going to take my daughter’s wedding dress to the dry cleaner, when I read the tags. It was made of 100 percent polyester, making it 100 percent washable. I placed the dress in a large net bag, used gentle detergent in cold water and washed it in the washing machine. I even dried it for four minutes on a medium setting in the dryer. Then I hung it up to finish drying. It came out beautifully. Since then, it has been worn two more times by friends. Each time it is washed, it comes out looking as if it just came off the rack. — Faylee J.,

Wedding woes. I work at a photo lab. Here’s a scene I’ve encountered many times: A happy bride pops in with 25 single-use cameras that she put on the tables at her reception. The wedding photographer was only at the church for formal photos, so she counted on guests to take photos at the reception. She hoped for great candid shots of the event. Instead, children played with the cameras as toys, so she got floor shots and heads cut. I’ve had brides in tears because it was such a waste of money. Disappointment is the norm. There are other ways to save on photography. Brides should cut the cost of the wedding in ways that won’t sacrifice the pictures she will treasure in years to come! — Janice B., New York
Picture-perfect. When shopping for photographers for my wedding, I contacted the publications department at a university with which I am associated. I was looking for a photography student who might photograph my wedding on the side. As it turned out, the man who does the photography for the university’s publications also does weddings. He charged me $200 for two hours. Then he gave me the rolls of film and let me do what I wanted with them. Today he would have given me a CD with the digital files. I took the film to a local camera shop and had it developed. In total, it cost less than $300. — Nancy C., Would you like to send a tip to Mary?

NEW YORK (AP) — The CBS and Fox television networks have rejoined the National Association of Broadcasters after a decadelong breakup. The reunion comes as the industry faces a raft of regulatory issues and commercial disputes with the Federal Communications Commission, cable TV providers and recording companies. Fox left the NAB in 1999 and CBS followed in 2001 after disputes with local stations over federal rules on ownership restrictions. Large broadcasters wanted looser restrictions, while smaller stations worry that would give larger networks too much leverage over them. NBC and ABC also left but have since returned. NAB spokesman Dennis Wharton says the networks and the local stations “agree on 99 percent of all issues and the fact that CBS and Fox came in shows we are better as a united industry.”

These days, the typical wedding is anything but cheap. After all, for most people, it is one of the most important days of their lives. Still, finding ways to keep the costs down is a noble endeavor. Today’s tips are among the best ever! I think that all you brides and grooms — and families who love them — will agree. MARY
There’s no need to discuss this with fellow colleagues. If your boss continues to raise this issue with you, you could tell her you’re worried about her — but otherwise her weight and body size aren’t really appropriate topics to bring up with people who work for her, and she should realize this.

Dear Amy: I’m worried my boss might have an eating disorder. Over the last two years, she has gone from about a size 10 to a size 0 (which now seems baggy on her). She
doesn’t eat during the day. She says she snacks at home. She is also exercising at least twice per day. She still believes she is fat. People around the office have been saying they are worried about her extreme weight loss, but no one knows what to do, or even if it’s appropriate to do anything. I would like to take my concerns to HR, but she is the best boss I’ve ever had, and I’m worried that not only will I lose her trust if she finds out that I “ratted” her out, but also that I may put her job in jeopardy. What should I do? — Concerned Colleague

Dear Broke: Destination bachelorette parties tax my limited etiquette expertise. I do know quite a bit about being broke, however. You are responsible for your own bank balance. Because you’ve been sucked into something that has mushroomed into an event you can no longer afford, you face the unhappy task of deciding whether to pull the plug. You should e-mail the entire bridal party and without passing judgment on their plans, say: “Here’s what I can do. Here’s what I can’t do.” During the weekend, set a budget for yourself, stick to it and hope your fellow bridesmaids don’t turn on you like a pack of drunken jackals. And if you decide to chicken out, you may need to develop a last-minute communicable skin rash. Staying home, absorbing the ticket cost and watching the “Bridezilla” marathon on TV might be your best weekend bet.

Dear Amy: I’m a bridesmaid for an old friend this summer, and she has chosen a threeday destination bachelorette party. She paid for her own air and hotel but expects her bridal party to pay for our costs and hers for the entire weekend, including all ASK drinks, meals, AMY transportation and shows. She nonchalantly mentioned getting bachelorette party gifts from us as well. I expected to buy her a gift and a drink here and there, but everything, all weekend? We’re staying at a nice hotel in an expensive city, and it’s getting out of control. Every time I open my inbox there’s another e-mail suggesting another expensive activity. The other bridesmaids don’t seem to agree with me that this is getting ridiculous (the e-mails are coming from them), but I don’t make as much money as they do. So I have to know — am I the ridiculous one? What is typical destination bachelorette party etiquette? —Broke Bridesmaid

Mountain Molasses Stack Cake For the cake: 1 ⁄2 C. firmly packed brown sugar 8 Tbsp. (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature 1 large egg 1 ⁄2 C. molasses 1 ⁄2 cup buttermilk 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 ⁄4 tsp. ground nutmeg 2 C. all-purpose flour 1 Tbsp. baking powder 1 ⁄4 tsp. baking soda 1 ⁄2 tsp. salt
This dense, rich cake from Joan Aller’s forthcoming cookbook, “Cider Beans, Wild Greens and Dandelion Jelly” (a collection of recipes from southern Appalachia due out in June), is remarkably easy to make, but incredibly flavorful. She says it is based on cakes assembled at family reunions and other celebrations in the region. She says each family would bring a single layer. The collection of layers then would be assembled into a single cake at the event. For most of us, the two layers in this recipe probably will be plenty.
Mountain Molasses Stack Cake Start to finish: 1 hour 40 minutes (40 minutes active) Servings: 8
For the filling: 2 C. finely chopped apples 1 ⁄2 C. water 1 C. firmly packed brown sugar 1 tsp. cinnamon To make the cake, heat the oven to 350 F. Lightly oil and flour the bottoms of two 8inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the brown sugar and butter until light. Slowly add the egg and molasses, then blend well. Beat in the buttermilk, vanilla and nutmeg. In a second bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Slowly add the flour mixture to the molasses mixture and mix until thoroughly incorporated. Pour half of the batter into each of the prepared cake pans. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted at the center of each cake comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in their pans on a wire rack. While the cakes cool, make the filling. In a medium saucepan over medium, combine the apples and water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender.

Mountain molasses stack cake is seen. Contemporary southern cooking has moved well beyond the classic image of fried chicken or barbecue. Based on cakes assembled at family reunions in southern Appalachia this cake is dense, rich and very memorable. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and is syrupy. Place one of the cooled cake layers on a serving plate. Spread half of the fill-
ing on top. Place the second cake layer on top, then spread the remaining filling over it. Nutrition information per serving (values are rounded to the nearest whole number): 452 calories; 106 calories from fat; 12 g fat (7 g saturat-

Watermelon and strawberry together in easy sorbet Whether you’re in the South, from the South, or never even been to the South, it’s easy to appreciate this simple sorbet of pureed watermelon and strawberries from John Besh’s cookbook, “My New Orleans.” The secret to knowing whether you’ve added enough sugar to your sorbet? According to Besh, you just need to float an egg in the puree before you freeze it. He says that if you float a clean egg (in the shell) in the mixture, you can tell whether you need to add more sugar (if the egg sinks) or more juice or water (if the egg floats high on the mixture). Ideally, the egg will float just at the surface, showing about a nickel-size spot of shell.
WatermelonStrawberry Sorbet Start to finish: 10 minutes (plus freezing time) Servings: 6 1 pint strawberries, hulled 1 C. diced, seeded watermelon 1 tsp. lemon juice 1 ⁄ 2 C. sugar In a blender, puree th e s t r a w b e r r i e s , w a termelon, lemon juice and sugar until smooth. Check that the puree has the correct amount of sugar. Add more sugar or juice if necessary (determine using method
described above). Transfer the puree to the canister of an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Keep the sorbet in the freezer until ready to use.

Watermelon-strawberry sorbet.
Lightly battered and fried tomatoes on the vine Fried whole cherry tomatoes may sound unusual, but they are beautiful and delicious. John Besh, author of the cookbook “My New Orleans,” gives them a simple tempura-like batter and an easy aioli sauce for dipping. Any small, cluster (on the vine) tomatoes work in this recipe. Most grocers sell several varieties this way.
Fried Tomatoes with Aioli Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 6 to 8 For the aioli: 6 cloves garlic 1 Tbsp. lemon juice 1 Tbsp. ice water 2 egg yolks Salt 2 C. extra-virgin olive oil
Steve Quintana at Marlow’s Bar-B-Q
For the tomatoes: 1 quart olive or vegetable oil 1 C. all-purpose flour Pinch salt 11⁄ 2 C. club soda 24 to 36 small cluster (on the vine) tomatoes In a deep heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high, heat the oil to 350 degrees. Meanwhile, in a large bowl whisk together the flour and salt. Add the club soda, whisking gently to keep the batter fluffy. The batter will be thin. Use scissors to cut the tomato vines to divide them into small clusters. Rinse the tomatoes and pat them dry. Working in batches, dip
each cluster into the batter, coating them all over, then carefully slip them into the hot oil. Fry the tomatoes until the batter is lacy, crisp and golden brown, about 1 minute. Using metal tongs or a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the tomatoes to paper towels to drain. Serve with aioli. Recipe from John Besh’s “My New Orleans,” Andrews McMeel, 2009.

To make the aioli, in a food processor combine the garlic, lemon juice, water and egg yolks. Process until thick and evenly pureed. With the processor running, add a pinch of salt, then slowly drizzle in the olive oil. If the aioli looks oily, add a touch more ice water. The color should be pale yellow and the texture should be matte, not glossy. Set aside.

Social media presents new reality-TV challenges LOS ANGELES — It became one of the most talked about “Jersey Shore” moments. Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and an unidentified male partygoer sloshed drinks at each other in a berserk bar brawl. The slaphappy altercation, however, hasn’t aired on MTV. That’s because the boozy battle was hastily captured on a low-grade camera and posted online months before the cultural phenomenon’s second chapter is scheduled to debut. The just-push-upload incident is the latest example of how instantaneous media is simultaneously building buzz and spoiling reality TV. The intentionally raw medium relies heavily on spontaneity, or at least something resembling spontaneity, and doesn’t pack the same punch without Never Before Seen Footage or The Most Shocking Elimination Ever. “It’s a blessing and a curse,” said “Jersey Shore” executive producer Sally Ann Salsano. “You’re always grateful when people want to talk about your show, but in the end, those same people are the ones that take things, like what happened with Snooki, out of context. I know I’ll have a chance to tell my story, but more people are going for the cheap shot.” The slapping and soaking delivered and received by Snooki, who was infamously punched in the face by a stranger at a bar during the show’s first season, went viral after it was posted on the celebrity news website RadarOnline.com, later popping up on multiple blogs and debated about on HLN. Salsano acknowledged she was not stoked that the moment was spoiled. When it comes to keeping secrets, reality TV producers don’t typically have the same luxuries as their scripted TV counterparts. When there’s no sound stage in which to hide or script to keep under wraps, it’s not easy to protect madefor-TV drama from playing out online, as with the not-soprivate production of the second season of “Jersey Shore” in Miami. “The good thing about ’Jersey Shore’ is it’s not a puppet show,” said Salsano. “There’s no parade in the street for
people to watch, so most of what’s posted online is just the kids coming and going. Much of the story is happening inside establishments or at their house. I promise not to air 12 episodes of The Situation walking around sucking in his gut.” Reality TV spoilers have been around since CBS first stranded a group of 16 strangers in Borneo for the inaugural season of “Survivor.” Restrictive nondisclosure agreements that threaten legal action, signed by anyone exposed to a reality-TV production, are usually enough to keep the most important plot lines from leaking onto the Internet or elsewhere. Newer tactics include forbidding the use of social media during filming. For example, the “Jersey Shore” ensemble said ciao to Twitter before they moved down to Miami. Even if contestants are allowed to post online during production, such as the ninth season “American Idol” finalists sporadically do, the updates are usually overseen by the show’s producers. Curiosity remains high though, especially when cracks emerge in the barrier between a show still in production and the rest of the world. Just ask manufacturing sales representative Steve Carbone, who has been dishing dirt about ABC’s sudsy dating franchises “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” for nearly seven years on his website RealitySteve.com. “I’m not doing anything wrong,” said Carbone, who lives in Dallas. “I’m just relaying information that’s told to me. People can choose to believe it or not. It’s just my track record has proven that I know what’s going on. People that have come to know me know that I’ve gotten two out of the last three seasons dead on and told people exactly what will happen.” Last season, Carbone correctly revealed that hunky pilot Jake Pavelka would choose feisty marketing representative Vienna Girardi during the final rose ceremony. He also accurately predicted that Facebook advertising account manager Ali Fedotowsky would ditch Pavelka to keep her job then become the leading lady on the next season of

I can’t watch the show now because I know where they’re going.’ If anything, you’re going to be more excited because you want to see what happens.” Such teases sometimes become part of the action. Take, for example, the third season of “The Real Housewives of New York City,” which often features the show’s drama queens reading about themselves online. During a recent episode of the Bravo docusoap, sassy chef Bethenny Frankel flipped out when rumors of her pregnancy were posted on PerezHilton.com.
“That’s the nature of the fun that comes from trying to spoil reality TV. You try to get as much information as possible since everyone is chomping at the bit to know what’s going to happen next.” RON LEE Operator, TVFanSpace.com
“The Bachelorette.” Carbone, who said he’s never been told to stop spoiling the show by the producers or the network, insisted he has sources close to the production that provide him with his info. However, many amateur sleuths are able to stitch together what’s happening on a reality-TV series simply by searching online, scouring for clues in status updates and photos. “We glean information from wherever we can — Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, whatever,” said college student Ron Lee, who operates the spoiler website TVFan-
Space.com. “That’s the nature of the fun that comes from trying to spoil reality TV. You try to get as much information as possible since everyone is chomping at the bit to know what’s going to happen next.” Fans share those findings online, attempting to deduce such elements as who the suitors are on the next season of “The Bachelorette” or what the route will be on the CBS globe-trotting contest “The Amazing Race.” RealityFanForum.com members were able to figure out almost the entire course of the 16th season of “The Amazing Race”
“There was so much junk being published all fall about the women,” said Andy Cohen, Bravo’s senior vice president of original programming and development. “I don’t think anything that was published has made it any less interesting now that it’s airing. I think it’s still fresh, and I think people are addicted and they can’t wait to see what happens next.” When the self-proclaimed “guidos” and “guidettes” of “Jersey Shore” return to film the remainder of the second season later this summer at the same shore house they partied in during the first season in Seaside Heights, N.J., executive producer Salsano said extra measures, including beefed-up security, will be taken to ensure the integrity of the show. “We will do everything we can to protect the story,” she said, “and everyone else will probably do anything they can to get around it.”
TV: Nobody does it better than David Letterman B Y C HRIS R IEMENSCHNEIDER Minneapolis Star Tribune
NEW YORK — Taking the stage for the pre-show warm-up, he ran out like a champion fighter with surprising speed and grace. And then he leaned over in anguish, feigning lowerback pain. He revved up the crowd with a fun riff on allergies, but hit a pothole pontificating on their scientific origins. And that’s when it became very funny. “You’re probably thinking you came to the wrong program,” he deadpanned. Nope. We all knew exactly what to expect when we went through the hassle of getting into the Ed Sullivan Theater recently. Landing a ticket to “The Late Show With David Letterman” — I called the standby list that morning, akin to winning a radio contest — was the perfect wrap on a stellar trek to New York, one that started with a trip uptown to the historic Apollo Theater for a show by Brooklyn’s powerhouse soul band Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings. I honestly couldn’t think of two more quintessential NYC shows to see right now. We also contemplated the Broadway adaptation of Green Day’s “American Idiot,” but something about paying $100 to hear showtuney dance versions of punk-rock songs makes me
‘Idol’ saluting Frank Sinatra a ratings dud NEW YORK (AP) — Memo to “American Idol” producers: In 2010, Lady Gaga beats Frank Sinatra. The Nielsen Co. said last Tuesday’s performance show devoted to Sinatra songs arranged by Harry Connick
upchuck just a little. I also couldn’t think of a better time to see Letterman in action. It was the day after Conan O’Brien appeared on “60 Minutes” and brought back one of the year’s most over-reported stories. And it was two days after Jay Leno made a widely panned appearance at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, where Obama reportedly drew bigger laughs. My first Letterman taping was way more electrifying than the time I saw Leno live. I witnessed the mother of all Leno shows, too, his Battle of Midway. It was the one with Hugh Grant after his bust with a hooker in 1995, which famously turned the late-night war in Jay’s favor. I was an intern at the Los Angeles Times that year, and like all good interns I turned a patsy assignment — interview audience members at the “Tonight” show taping — into a much better gig. I paid a guy a wad of cash to get into the taping myself. Like everyone else, the thing I remember most was Leno’s opening question to Grant: “What the hell were you thinking?” I bet Jay spent the entire day thinking that up. The rest of the interview was forgettable, though, as is just about everything Leno does that’s not carefully scripted. The Letterman taping I saw was far more ordinary, yet way more memorable. It
was actually the Friday show that would air four nights later. That’s how good Dave is: He can tape a show four days in advance and keep it fresh. But then, you don’t have to be a genius to know that Arizona’s new immigration law will still merit spoofing a week later. As viewed from the crowd, the best parts weren’t the edgy moments, but the ones when Dave turned into a total softie, which came compliments of Mother’s Day. Let’s face it: Dave’s stature among women took a big hit this past year. Whether or not it was the intent, this show went a long way in turning things around. Amanda Peet was officially the lead guest, making up for her cancellation just two weeks earlier upon the birth of her second daughter. The show’s biggest guest star, though, was Dave’s mom. If Dorothy Letterman, 89, of Indianapolis, isn’t the most likable woman in America, I don’t know who is. Via satellite, she delivered the night’s Top 10 List: her advice on parenting (i.e., “If your child won’t stop crying, tell him, ’Stop it, David,
you’re 63 years old!’ “). I’ve always admired Dave’s mastery of self-deprecation, which I attribute to his Midwestern roots. What really impressed me in person was watching him at work behind the scenes. It wasn’t so much that he’s a total pro, who — after 28 years of putting on a show — effortlessly pulls it off. It was that he actually seemed to still work his tail off. He spent the commercial breaks talking offstage with staffers and going over cue
cards. He and the great preshow warm-up comic, Eddie Brill, went off in the corner several times, probably going over material. Being funny is hard work, and I believe it’s Letterman’s work ethic that makes him the best. And I’m not just saying that because we were both paperboys. Even Dave’s pre-show bit on allergies was probably something he’s working on for a future monologue. One gets the feeling that Leno tests his material only in
front of NBC affiliate presidents, if at all. Leno is back on top, though, so who gets the last laugh? His ratings aren’t what they were before he weaseled Conan out of a job, but Jay can still boast of once again being the most popular late-night TV host in America. My reaction to that is the same as seeing all the tourists eating at Applebee’s and other chain restaurants down the street from the Ed Sullivan Theater near Times Square.
Jr. had the smallest audience of any regularly scheduled “Idol” episode since 2003. The next night, when Lady Gaga appeared, the show’s audience increased by more than 2 million viewers. ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” was the most popular prime-time show last week, narrowly beating the “Idol”

North Carolinians scramble to get exclusive state $2 bills Restricted release gives just 1 out of every 1,291 households an opportunity to get the entire State $2 Bill Collection™ By Joan Tedeschi Universal Media Syndicate
N NEVER BEFORE SEEN: This is the new North Carolina state overlaid $2 bill that few have ever seen and everyone is scrambling to get. The World Reserve Monetary Exchange has restricted the release of its exclusive State $2 Bill Collection™, so getting one would make you as happy as hitting the lottery.
Most Americans have never even seen a government issued $2 bill, let alone the new never before seen state $2 bills being overlaid and released exclusively by the World Reserve Monetary Exchange. According to Thomas C. Harris, former Deputy Director of the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing and consultant for the privately held World Reserve, “Less than 1% of all U.S. Government notes currently produced are $2 bills.” And finding one of the exclusive 50 state $2 bills will be even more difficult. That’s because it has just been announced that the release of the entire new State $2 Bill Collection™ has been restricted. That means only 1 out of every 1,291 U.S. households will even have a chance to get them all. With this new State $2 Bill Collection™ now underway, North Carolinians are expected to snatch up all they can while they can still get their hands on them. N
Just 48 hours left for local residents to get the only existing North Carolina state $2 bills Private hoard of never before seen state $2 bills being released for the next 48 hours, only in 4 packs of protective estate wallets each loaded with its own North Carolina state $2 bill for just $12 per wallet By R.K. Berry Universal Media Syndicate
UMS – It’s like a run on the banks. The phones just keep ringing off the hook. That’s because North Carolina residents can only get the World Reserve’s never before seen North Carolina state overlaid $2 bills for the next 48 hours. All residents have to do is call 1-888-769-2827 or one of the five Overflow Hotlines to get their new state bills. These special Toll Free Hotlines have been set up because you can’t get these exclusive bills at local banks, credit unions or even the Federal Reserve. They’re being banded in packs of four and released directly to North Carolina residents exclusively by the World Reserve. These crisp U.S. $2 bills featuring the exclusively designed North Carolina state overlaid printing are so precious you would never even dream of carrying them around in an ordinary leather wallet. That’s why they are being released in individually loaded rich protective estate wallets. They are so impressive, everyone will swear they must have been taken right from the Governor’s desk. “Everything in our vault may soon be gone. So residents who want to get them now had better hurry and call,” said Jefferson Marshall, Executive Director of the World Reserve Monetary Exchange. Some collectors are always trying to snatch up all the $2 bills issued by the Government they can get their hands on. They know that $2 bills are almost impossible to find in your pocket change these days. Originally issued in 1928, the currently designed $2 bills have largely been locked away in the bowels of the U.S. Federal Reserve vaults, rarely distributed by banks and almost never seen in circulation. The $2 bills issued by the Treasury Department’s Bureau of Engraving and Printing, makers of all of the nation’s paper currency, make up less than 1% of the $670 billion in genuine U.S. currency that circulates worldwide, according to the U.S. Department of Treasury. “That’s why I’ve authorized a limited number of genuine Government issued $2 bills to be overlaid with the North Carolina state printing and released from our private vault reserve to the residents of the great state of North Carolina. Non-residents can’t have the vault packs of these North Carolina state $2 bills,” Marshall said. “These exclusive North Carolina state
$2 bills will be highly sought after and are extremely popular to hand out as gifts for friends and family. They are the perfect gift for any occasion,” he said. “That’s why this announcement is being so widely advertised, to make sure every North Carolina resident has a chance to get their own state $2 bill,” said Marshall. They are sure to impress because most people have never even seen one of these newly enhanced state $2 bills featuring a plane and the Charlotte cityscape with President Thomas Jefferson on the front. “Since these are the only existing North Carolina state $2 bills, anyone who wants more than 10 sealed vault packs of 4 bills in protective estate wallets must submit requests in writing so there will be no hoarding by dealers,” said Marshall. “You better believe we will be strictly enforcing the limits so that we can guarantee there will be at least 10 vault packs for North Carolinians who call in the next 48 hours,” Marshall said. N
N LIMITED RELEASE BEGINS: Above is the never before seen entire 50 State $2 Bill Collection™ shown off by the World Reserve. You can’t get these exclusive state $2 bills from local banks, credit unions or even the Federal Reserve. Dealers and collectors who are lucky enough to find them are sure to be charging a hefty premium to let them go. But getting the entire 50 State $2 Bill Collection™ may be hard, since the release is being restricted. That’s why the World Reserve Monetary Exchange has also decided to release all 50 states together in one complete collection to residents who beat the deadline by calling 1-888-769-2827 in the next 48 hours.
HOW NORTH CAROLINA RESIDENTS CAN GET THEIR STATE $2 BILLS NORTH CAROLINA RESIDENTS ONLY The special Toll Free Hotlines are open to North Carolina residents only. Residents have just 48 hours to get their North Carolina state $2 bills beginning at 8:00am today. If you miss the deadline you’ll be turned away and forced to wait for future announcements in this publication or others, if any. The World Reserve Monetary Exchange is only releasing the never before seen North Carolina state overlaid $2 bills banded together in packs of 4, each in its own protective estate wallet, for just $12 per wallet and shipping to residents of North Carolina only. There is a strict limit of 10 North Carolina state $2 bill vault packs per household. To claim yours call the special Toll Free Hotline numbers below.

Salisbury finishes two shots behind North Lincoln BY BRET STRELOW bstrelow@salisburypost.com
BUIES CREEK — Roy Dixon and his friends gave former Salisbury golf star Will Collins the royal treatment. Dixon now has a prestigious title of his own: Just like Collins, he’s a state champion. Dixon followed an opening-round 71 with a 74 to finish at 1-over 145 and beat runner-up Thomas Lilly of Maiden by two strokes at the 2A championships Tuesday. Salisbury, the team leader after 18 holes, ended up two shots behind first-place North Lincoln at Keith Hills Golf Club. Dixon was in middle school when Collins, currently a Virginia standout, closed his prep career with back-to-back individual titles. “We used to always pick on him, saying, ‘Your Majesty’ and stuff like that,” Dixon recalled. “At the same time, we always really admired Will.

NASCAR opens Hall of Fame BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Fans walk "Glory Road" during Opening Day of the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
CHARLOTTE — The rumble from a pair of motors interrupted the opening ceremony at the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Nobody seemed to mind, though, when Richard Petty pulled his 1974 Dodge Charger onto the ceremonial plaza, with Junior Johnson trailing in a 1940 Ford. The two members of NASCAR’s inaugural Hall of Fame class climbed from the cars they are most associated with to a rousing ovation. “This is the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me,” Johnson said of being part of the first induction class. Started in 1948, the National Association of Stock Car Racing finally opened its Hall of Fame on Tuesday with a star-studded ceremony.
North Carolina governor Beverly Perdue joined Charlotte area dignitaries and representatives of NASCAR’s past and present on a stage outside the Hall for the hour-long opening ceremony. After Johnson and Petty’s arrival — Petty in a replica of his No. 43 STP Dodge, and Johnson in a No. 3 Ford that read “Carolina Moonshine” — several past champions scanned their entrance cards to officially open the doors. “If you’re going to be a top-five sports league in this country, you need to have a world-class Hall of Fame,” said NASCAR chairman Brian France. “It’s going to be a place where our fans can come and celebrate and look back at the history of the sport. We haven’t really had that in a formal way all these years, and this is going to change that overnight.”

The most notable change is a move to play the regular-season in 11 weeks (including the optional endowment game) rather than 12, eliminating the “bye” week. The endowment game would be dropped for seeding purposes. The length of the winter sport season will be reduced by one week, but practice will still start on November 1. A “pod” format will be added to the seeding process to group schools geographically and reduce some of the long trips that were necessary in the current format.

Charlotte gets Georgia transfer Associated Press
Associated Press
CLEVELAND — The B o s t o n Celtics 120 C e l t i c s Cavs 88 pushed the Cleveland Cavaliers dangerously close to an early start to the Summer of LeBron. Ray Allen scored 25 points, Rajon Rondo scored all of his 16 in the second half and the Celtics, once thought too old to challenge for another title, beat LeBron James and the Cavs 120-88 in Game 5 on Tuesday night to move within one win of knocking the NBA’s top team from the playoffs. Paul Pierce added 21 and Kevin Garnett 18 for the Celtics, who handed the Cavs their worst home playoff loss in history and can end Cleveland’s season with a win in Game 6 on Thursday night. “We cannot come back here,” Garnett said. “We have to think this is our Game 7 coming up and we cannot afford to have the best team in the league have a Game 7 on their floor. Just not possible.” James, the league’s two-

He scored 15 points on 3-of-14 shooting, a startling outing for the 25year-old who has been playing with a sprained elbow. Because of James’ uncertain future, Game 5 may have been his last at home for Cleveland and it has set up Game 6 as the most important in franchise history: Win and force Game 7 on Sunday in Cleveland; lose and maybe watch James, the local kid trying to deliver this city its first pro championship since 1964, leave for good. Rondo was held without a point in the first half as the Cavs concentrated their defense on stopping the point guard from penetrating into the paint. He finally got loose in the third, scoring 12 as the Celtics opened a 21-point lead.
CHARLOTTE — The Charlotte 49ers have added backcourt depth with the addition of Georgia transfer DeMario Mayfield. New coach Alan Major announced the 6-foot-5 guard’s addition on Tuesday. The Royston, Ga., native will sit out next season and be eligible in the 2011-12 season. Mayfield was the Georgia Class AAA player of the year in 2009 after averaging nearly 24 points a game for Franklin County High School. But he played in only 18 games for the Bulldogs last season and averaged less than a point and a rebound per game. Mayfield is Major’s first addition since being hired last month to replace the fired Bobby Lutz.
N.C. STATE RALEIGH — North Carolina State forward Tracy Smith has withdrawn from the NBA draft and will return to the Wolfpack for his senior season. Smith had declared himself eligible for the draft, but he didn’t hire an agent and had until Saturday to pull his name and retain his eligibility. Smith’s return is big news for coach Sidney Lowe. Smith led the Wolfpack with 16.5 points and 7.3 rebounds per game last season, which made him a second-team All-ACC pick. With Smith back and a top-five national recruiting class, the Wolfpack looks poised for a strong run in Lowe’s fifth season.
BOXING NEW YORK — Negotiations for a megafight involving Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. are expect-
ed to begin again this week. The matchup involving boxing’s two most high-profile fighters was discussed at length earlier this year, but negotiations fell apart when the sides could not agree on drug testing protocol. Both took other fights, with Pacquiao beating Josh Clottey and Mayweather defeating Shane Mosley. Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach, said discussions could begin once the results of the Philippine elections are in. Pacquiao is running for Congress for the second time.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL COLUMBUS, Ohio — Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany e-mailed conference officials Tuesday to stamp out a rumor that four schools had already been offered a chance to join the league. Delany quashed a report that the Big Ten had offered expansion spots to Missouri, Nebraska, Notre Dame and Rutgers. The conference is looking at expanding from its current 11 members so that it can extend the reach of its lucrative cable network and add a league championship game in football. • SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Willie Jeffries, the first black coach of a Division I school, and former Super Bowl standouts Troy Brown and Emerson Boozer head the divisional class selected Tuesday for the College Football Hall of Fame.
NFL NEW YORK — Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing tested positive for HCG, a fertility drug that is on the NFL’s banned substance list. A person familiar with Cushing’s
case told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Cushing had one positive test last September, then subsequently tested negative several times. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the test results were supposed to remain confidential. • PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers resume voluntary offseason workouts next week, but it’s unclear whether suspended quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will be allowed to participate. On April 21, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suspended the twotime Super Bowl winner for the first six games of the season following a March incident in which a 20-year-old college student accused him of sexual assault in Milledgeville, Ga. The case will not be prosecuted. The Steelers are not certain when Roethlisberger might be cleared by Goodell to resume workouts.

The city spent $195 million on the project and is touting it as the biggest and most technologically advanced Hall of Fame in professional sports. The 150,000-square-foot building is a shrine of memorabilia, exhibits that recreate oldtime NASCAR lore, 154 video screens, racing simulators and interactive activities. NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick, who helped the city of Charlotte with its winning bid for the rights to the Hall of Fame in 2006, spoke at Tuesday’s ceremony and was one of the first visitors to tour the facility after the doors opened. “I just think if you don’t hold on to history in anything, that it doesn’t mean much,” Hendrick said. “he fact that we can showcase our history in such a great setting is going to pay us huge dividends down the road because new fans ought to know about Junior Johnson and they ought to know Buck Baker and those kind of guys. And they ought to be able to see the old cars. “I think a fan walks away knowing we care about our past and our history.To me, that’s what’s important — that our history, our roots and our heritage is important. It’s not all just about today.” The inaugural class, elected by 50 voters last year, is: NASCAR founder Bill France Sr., longtime chairman Bill France Jr., seven-time champion Dale Earnhardt, Johnson and Petty. The induction ceremony is May 23. Petty believes the timing is perfect for NASCAR to start its Hall of Fame. “You’ve got to figure to have a Hall of Fame, you’ve got to have some history,” he said. “NASCAR is just 60 years old, so it took them a while to accomplish history. If they had one 25 years ago,

It’s pretty neat from the old cars, to the old suits, the write-ups, the videos. It’s neat for the fans, too, because they get to see things that they only see on TV. “I just think it’s awesome. They did a great job.” NASCAR had several of its champions on stage during the ceremony, but noticeably absent were four-time champi-
ons Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson and two-time champion Tony Stewart. Also missing was Dale Earnhardt Jr., whose father is in the first class. His stepmother, Teresa, was on stage during the opening ceremony. Stewart was testing today in Virginia, his spokesman said, while representatives for Earnhardt Jr., Gordon and Johnson said the drivers had previous commitments and planned to attend inauguration week activities. Hendrick, the car owner for Gordon, Johnson and Earnhardt, said his organization was surprised by the fanfare of Tuesday’s opening. “To be honest, we thought this was going to be a loose kind of thing,” Hendrick said. “If we had known it was going to be this big, I would have asked them all to be here.”
Petty felt the present day stars should have been in attendance. “The museum is for the has-beens, the people that made things happen,” Petty said. “You gotta figure, without these guys, there wouldn’t be a Jimmie Johnson or a Jeff Gordon. Some of the guys came out today, and they recognize that they are in between and they were interested in coming out to see what was going on. “I feel good that they came, but when we look at Jimmie and Jeff — yeah, they should be here. Eventually they be in the Hall of Fame and they should be here for the inaugural deal to see what it’s all about and to see why they are the heroes today and see that Junior Johnson, Fireball Roberts and Lee Petty made all this happen for them.”

Now run by his son, J.D., the team has won three Cup championships. NASCAR’s hottest driver is JGR’s Denny Hamlin, and the team has won four of the past six Sprint Cup races. Gibbs isn’t sure if he’ll eventually make it a hall of fame double-dip, but enjoyed mingling with the fans on Tuesday morning and discussing both careers. “They’re giving you a raspberry because they’re a Cowboys fan or they’re a Jeff Gordon fan. That’s what kind of brings a sport to life,” Gibbs said. “I think it causes you to really reflect and realize how fortunate you are.”

He was a two-time AllAmerican offensive lineman at Catawba before graduating in 2000. He went to Fargo, N.D., to play in the Snow Bowl, the Division II all-star game. Hinson will travel to Andrew Jackson on Thursday to meet the staff and players. He is expected to finish the year at East Rowan. In South Carolina spring practice goes two weeks after school, so Hinson
will be in unknown territory. “I’m looking forward to that,” Hinson said. “It’ll be learning on the run for me. I’ll have to learn from the assistant coaches. I’ll have to trust them.” Local coaches know they’re losing a good friend. “Rowan County will miss him,” said West Rowan coach Scott Young, who shared the Coach of the Year award with Hinson. “He did a good job with his kids. I’m happy for him.” Mark Woody will also miss his fellow coach. “It’s bad for our conference because he’s an excellent coach,” Woody said. “I hate to see him go.”

der said. “He fought through a lot of things. If he had got his putter working today, he would have probably gone pretty low.” Dixon attended the ACC championships in nearby New London late last month and said a second-place showing from Collins pumped him up for regional play. Dixon won the 18-hole regional by a single shot over two teammates and accomplished his ambitious goal after tying for 13th place at the 2A championships as a sophomore. “It hurts that we lost the team championship,” Dixon said. “The individual championship does mean a lot to me. Ever since Will Collins won it, all I’ve wanted was to win a state championship. It feels really good that I pulled it off.”

“There’s 616 shots out there,” Salisbury coach Dale Snyder said. “You can’t focus on a putt on (No.) 18 or a chip on (No.) 5 or this or that. We have to focus on that we’re the second-best team in the state, and we’ve got Roy here who’s a state champion. “Somehow we’re going to have to leave here with our heads held high. It’s going to be tough, but we’re going to try our best.” Four of North Lincoln’s six participants improved their scores Tuesday. Miller Capps (76-72—148) finished third overall, and Sam Goodnight fired a 79 after shooting an 87 on Monday. Salisbury’s Troy Beaver (76-81—157) tied for 18th place, and Alex Lee (76-82—158) had the Hornets’ third-best total. Joseph Rusher (79-81—160) scored Monday, and Alex Nianouris (83-78—161) accounted for the team’s second-best final round. Clark Alcorn, who opened with an 81, made the turn Tuesday with a 42 and withdrew at the 13th hole due to an injury. A birdie at No. 9 brought Nianouris back to even for his round. He made two triple bogeys on the back nine and closed with a birdie. “I just didn’t feel like my game was in the right shape yesterday,” Nianouris said. “Today it was coming around a little better.” Dixon, who held a two-shot lead over Lilly and Topsail’s Patrick Morris after one round, played the first three holes Tuesday at 3 over. He made a double bogey at No. 2 despite driving into the fairway and then three-putted for bogey at No. 3. Dixon birdied the par-4 ninth hole as rain fell, moved to 1 over for the day with a birdie at the par-5 13th and bogeyed the par-4 15th. “Roy played well in bad conditions,” Sny-
“We’re a single-school community,” Reeves said. “We’re very well supported.” Reeves said crowds of 3,000 are common but AJ started the season last year with a crowd of 7,000. Hinson is going to a school in a similar situation he found at East when he took that job three seasons ago. He will be the 11th coach in the 40-year history of Andrew Jackson, but Reeves said he will be the fourth head coach in four years for the Volunteers. At East, Hinson was the fourth hire in five years. Hinson replaces Elmer Bench, who resigned March 19. The Volunteers finished 3-7 overall and 1-4 in Region IV AA and failed to make the playoffs for the first time since 2003. Reeves wants stability and thinks he has found the right man. “When he came in, he was so sure of himself,” Reeves said of Hinson. “He was very confident, very intelligent.” Reeves said when he talked to people here, they all said the same thing: that Hinson was a good person. “He’s mature beyond his years,” Reeves said. Hinson’s specialty is turning around programs. He had his best season in 2009, leading the Mustangs to a 9-4 record, including a playoff victory over South Brunswick. That came after a 1-10 campaign in 2008 and helped earn him co-coach of the year honors in Rowan County. “That’s another thing we

Myers is expecting a much tougher test next Tuesday if his opponent is Shelby, a heavy favorite to beat CCC foe West Davidson today. Their match was rained out on Tuesday. Salisbury and Shelby played last year and Salisbury won. The Hornets were a wild card and the Lions were a No. 1 seed. “We played until about 9:30 and beat them 5-4,” Myers said. “Shelby, along with Maiden, and along with Salisbury, on any given day, can knock one another out. So I’m thinking next Tuesday is going to be a heck of a match.”

Cueto, Heisey lead Reds to 4th straight Associated Press PITTSBURGH — Johnny Cueto pitched a one-hitter for his first major league complete game, allowing only a third-inning single that went off shortstop Paul Janish’s glove, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 9-0 on Tuesday night for their fourth consecutive win. The Pirates’ only hit was by Ronny Cedeno — and it nearly wasn’t one. Janish managed to deflect Cedeno’s one-out grounder into left field, barely missing making the play. Chris Heisey backed up Cueto’s superbly pitched game with his first three major league hits, including a pair of singles and a two-run homer in the eighth against Jeff Karstens. Cueto (2-1) lasted as long as eight innings only once in his previous 67 major league starts, a 3-2 victory at Pittsburgh on May 3, 2009. Braves 11, Brewers 3 MILWAUKEE — Tim Hudson kept pitching his way out of trouble and came inches shy of hitting a home run himself, leading Atlanta to the victory. Troy Glaus went deep for the second straight night for the Braves, who will go for a three-game sweep of the Brewers on Wednesday afternoon. Atlanta pounded out a season-high 16 hits in yet another demoralizing Miller Park loss for the Brewers, who slipped to a major league-worst 4-10 at home. Alcides Escobar had two hits and an RBI for Milwaukee, snapping an 0-for-17 skid. Hudson (3-1) allowed a run and six hits in six innings, tying a career high with six walks. He nearly homered in the fifth, bouncing a ball off the top of the wall in left for a double. Mets 8, Nationals 6 NEW YORK — Pinch-hitter Chris Carter, just called up from the minors, de-

Manager Dusty Baker hugs pitcher Johnny Cueto after the youngster’s one-hitter. livered a tiebreaking double in his first atbat for the Mets and New York scored six runs in the eighth inning. Jason Bay and David Wright led the charge, lifting New York out of its recent offensive doldrums with three hits apiece. Four relievers combined for 42⁄3 scoreless innings as the Mets climbed out of a 6-1 hole following a poor start by Jonathon Niese. Rookie first baseman Ike Davis turned in a spectacular catch of a game-ending foulout, tumbling into the New York dugout to make a dangerous grab for the second time in five days. Marlins 3, Cubs 2 CHICAGO — Ricky Nolasco pitched sev-
en sharp innings, and Cody Ross and Gaby Sanchez homered for Florida. Nolasco (3-2), a former Cubs farmhand, allowed one run and five hits. Leo Nunez pitched a perfect ninth for his seventh save in nine opportunities. Astros 6, Cardinals 3 ST. LOUIS — Brett Myers worked six strong innings and pinch-hitters Cory Sullivan and Humberto Quintero had consecutive RBI singles in Houston’s four-run seventh. St. Louis starter Brad Penny (3-3) allowed four hits in seven innings with all four runs unearned after shortstop Brendan Ryan bounced a throw to first for an error on Carlos Lee’s one-out grounder.
Lee dominates Orioles in third outing
DeRosa struggling with wrist SAN FRANCISCO — Giants left fielder Mark DeRosa underwent an MRI exam and nerve tests on his troublesome left wrist, and he missed his second straight start Tuesday night against the San Diego Padres. The 35-year-old DeRosa, in his first year with San Francisco, had surgery on another part of the wrist after last season with St. Louis and now calls that procedure a “failure.” The two injuries could be related, but it was unclear how long DeRosa might be sidelined or whether he could need another surgery either during or after the 2010 campaign. Manager Bruce Bochy planned to limit DeRosa to a reserve role for a couple of days to let the injury calm down.
Associated Press BALTIMORE — Cliff Lee allowed one run in 71⁄3 innings to earn his first win with Seattle, and the Mariners beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-1 on Tuesday night in a matchup of last-place teams. Ryan Langerhans homered for the Mariners, who have won two straight following an eightgame skid. Seattle is 4-0 against Baltimore and 9-19 against everyone else. Lee (1-1) allowed eight hits, struck out two and walked none. After the left-hander gave up two consecutive singles in the eighth, Brandon League got Miguel Tejada to hit into a double play. League also pitched the ninth to earn his first save. Red Sox 6, Blue Jays 1 BOSTON — Daisuke Matsuzaka allowed three hits in seven innings and the Red Sox capitalized on more wildness by Blue Jays pitchers.
PAWTUCKET, R.I. (AP) — Mike Cameron, recovering from a lower abdominal strain, was 1-for-3 in his second rehabilitation game for the Triple-A Pawtucket Red Sox against Gwinnett on Tuesday. Cameron batted leadoff and played center field, easily handling two routine fly balls. Perhaps the best indication Cameron has recovered came in the second inning when, after walking on four pitches, he ran from first base to third on Josh Reddick’s single. “I’m getting close, but I’m not quite there,” Cameron said. “I’m able to run now, but I’m still not quite where I want to be. After a few more games, I think I’ll be OK.” He lined a 1-2 pitch from right-hander Jason Parr to center in the first. After advancing on a passed ball, Cameron moved to third on a fly to center. Cameron, who was limited to four plate appearances, struck out swinging in the fourth and popped out to second in the seventh.
Matsuzaka struck out nine and allowed just three runners on a single and double by John Buck and a double by Fred Lewis. He walked none, while four Toronto pitchers issued eight bases on balls one night after the Red Sox drew seven walks in a 7-6 win. White Sox 5, Twins 2 MINNEAPOLIS — The White Sox put together their biggest inning of the season in the fifth and Jenks rebounded for the save in a victory over the Twins. A.J. Pierzynski and Alexei Ramirez had two-run doubles in a five-run, seven-hit fifth inning for a team that entered the night with the worst batting average in the American League. Freddy Garcia (2-2) gave up two runs on nine hits in seven innings for the win. Joe Mauer had three hits and Justin Morneau homered for the Twins. But Kevin Slowey (4-3) gave up five runs on eight hits in 42⁄3 innings against Chicago’s
anemic bats. Indians 8, Royals 2 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Russell Branyan homered twice and Jake Westbrook pitched six innings for his first win in two years, lifting the Indians to a victory over the backpedaling Royals. Branyan hit a two-run homer off Brian Bannister (1-3) in the second and a solo shot in the ninth off Joakim Soria, his first two of the season. Jhonny Peralta added a two-run double and the Indians had 10 hits to help Westbrook (1-2) get his first win since April 8, 2008, against the Angels. The Royals followed a dismal road trip with another clunker, getting an almost-predictable bullpen blowup and base-to-base hitting to see their losing streak reach six games. A’s 7, Rangers 6, 13 innings ARLINGTON, Texas — Daric Barton hit a two-out RBI single in the 13th inning after homering in the 11th, and the
Athletics beat the Rangers in the opener of a three-game series between the AL West’s top teams. Catcher Landon Powell drew a walk against Dustin Nippert (1-3) to start the Oakland 13th, then swiped second for his first career steal. He scored when Barton’s hard grounder shorthopped off second baseman Ian Kinsler’s glove and into right field. Barton had been 0 for 5 before his two-out solo homer. But the Rangers tied it in the bottom half of the 11th when David Murphy hit a leadoff single and scored on Julio Borbon’s base hit. Tyson Ross (1-0) pitched the final three innings for Oakland. Yankees-Tigers The second game of the series set for Tuesday was postponed by rain. The game will be made up Wednesday as part of a day-night doubleheader. Javier Vazquez will pitch the day game for the Yankees.

Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton get engaged
You have the nine, so change the play many spade tricks. Instead, you must take four club tricks. How would you try to do that? You should assume that West has the queen. Then, it might look as though the standard play (cash the king and finesse dummy’s jack) is the right approach. However, it is not, because of your nine. Start with a low club from your hand. If West plays low, call for dummy’s jack and get home if West has queen-doubleton or queen-tripleton. Not starting with the king pays dividends when West has queen-singleton. Then you capture his queen with dummy’s ace and cash the jack (just to check he isn’t being clever with the doubleton Q10). When West discards, you lead low to your nine, picking up East’s 10-fourth.
Conditions in general look very promising for you in the year ahead, especially where your material interests are concerned. Your earning potential looks good, but you could even be lucky in making several smart investments. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Uncluttered horizons enhance your ability to plan and succeed, so don’t put any limitations on your thinking today. Instead, attempt to envision everything in the broadest perspective. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Unless you have good reason for doing so, don’t allow others to become directly involved in your business matters. Attempt to conduct your affairs with as little fanfare and publicity as possible today. Cancer (June 21-July 22) -— If you should happen to stumble upon a windfall, alert your good buddies so that they can share in your find as well. Call first those who were there for you when you needed them. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — A major objective or ambition can be realized during this cycle, but you might need some quality allies to open a few doors for you. Cultivate relationships now while you’re trying to make these breakthroughs. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You are likely to be luckier than usual in enterprises or arrangements that you originate or personally manage. Be a self-starter and make something big happen today. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — There’s a good chance that you’ll be pretty sharp at buying, selling, bargaining or being the middleman for two persons trying to make a deal. Use this talent in a variety of ways. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Something mutually constructive can result from an agreement that you are trying to negotiate today, so do your best to pull it off. Simply make sure the details are acceptable to both parties. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Something in which you’ve been involved for some time can generate much better returns than you’re presently receiving. Study matters carefully with an eye toward improvement. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Don’t be shy about protecting your self-interests in an involvement of importance today. Humility has its place, but there are times when it can be counterproductive. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — When it comes to commercial involvements today, don’t jump at the first offer you get, even if it sounds a bit enticing. Generally, you’ll first get a high bid merely to see where you stand. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Because conditions are likely to be so vastly improved from yesterday, several opportunities may present themselves today in those very areas that once looked so dismal. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Be singular in your focus, whether your concern is concentrated on prestige, career or financing. Whichever one you select must be foremost in your mind if you’re going to score in any of these areas. UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE, INC.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton, two of country music’s hottest singles, are off the market. People.com is reporting that Shelton asked Lambert to marry him on Sunday. Kathy Best, Lambert’s publicist, confirmed the news Tuesday. Lambert tells People the proposal came as a surprise. She says Shelton proposed to her in the woods near her Tishomingo, Okla., home. She answered yes. Shelton went old-fashioned, calling Lambert’s father, Rick, to ask permission. It’s been quite the year for Lambert. She scored her first No. 1 with “White Liar,” won ASSOCIATED PRESS three Academy of Country Music Awards, including album of the year, and now she’s marry- Country singers Miranda Lambert, left, and ing her boyfriend of five years. Blake Shelton embrace after performing at the There’s no word on when the wedding will be. ACM Artist of the Decade All Star Concert.
We are looking at “eight ever,” when you, as delarer, are playing a suit with a combined eight cards including the ace, king and jack. Yes, you plan to take a finesse against the queen, but what you do before that depends on the rest of your exact holding in the suit. In today’s deal, how would you plan the play in three notrump after West leads the spade king? This auction is the most common in bridge. However, assuming South deals and everyone may bid, how many possible auctions are there? You start with seven top tricks: one spade, four diamonds and two clubs. If only they had led a different suit, you could have dislodged the heart ace. But here the defenders would surely cash too

The total of possible auctions is a 48-digit number. If a foursome did one every minute, it would take several times the life span of the Earth to bid them all.
Dear Dr. Gott: What is your opinion of TV commercials that spend more time on warnings and disclaimers of medications than on what the products will do? And the information is usually at such high speeds that it is hard DR. PETER to understand. For exGOTT ample, one current sleep-aid advertisement warns users of possible aggressive behavior, depression, agitation, allergies, dizziness, swelling of the tongue or throat that could result in death, memory loss and suicidal thoughts. Why would a physician prescribe such a product? Dear Reader: You have tapped into one of my greatest pet peeves. I listen to TV commercials about drugs that are going to make EVERYTHING all better. There’s nothing that can’t be improved on — from high cholesterol, heart trouble, hypertension, constipation, diarrhea, diabetes, urinary issues, abdominal pain and gastrointestinal discomfort to wrinkle and wart removers. The only thing that must be understood is the never-ending side effects of possible suicidal thoughts, rash, depression, my favorite of oily leakage (yuck!), palpitations and a list that continues. Then there are the people
with specific diagnoses who are warned not to take these wonder drugs. The comments reads something like this: “Don’t take medication X if you suffer from cardiac conditions, diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, kidney disorders, GI upset, if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.” So I often wonder who’s left to take the stuff anyway. If you suffer any ill consequences, you are told to contact your physician. That’s fine if he or she is available. If not and the effects are difficult to manage, it might likely result in a trip to your local hospital’s emergency room or walk-in clinic. Hopefully, the visit is covered by insurance. If not, guess who got a bad reaction and then bites the bullet by having to pay besides? In all fairness, pharmaceutical companies produce medications designed to help people suffering from almost every known condition. For the most part, that is exactly what happens. People take medication, and they get better. All is well that ends well. Unfortunately, there’s the oversensitive individual who takes a drug his physician has recommended in good faith, only to find the patient develops hives or worse. What’s a physician to do? As a society, we want and often demand a pill to make us feel better; but that’s easier said than done. It must be understood that side effects are a part of any medication. This includes prescription medica-
tions, over-the-counter drugs, herbs and homeopathic remedies. We all react in a different manner to what we consume. What works for one person may not work for another. And some side effects can be devastating. Now, on to another of your complaints — the speed at which the announcers speak. I know advertising is costly and the message must get out there quickly and concisely but, sadly, many people today speak very quickly, whether on television or not, making it extremely difficult to comprehend what is being said. Words become a blur, and the message is lost. Perhaps younger people can adapt more readily than I, but I have great difficulty listening intently, only to find I lost half the material presented. I’m reminded that aging does hold its disappointments. I recommend that you speak with your physician when any medication is prescribed. Ask why the drug is being prescribed and determine any potential side effects. Together, you can make a decision as to whether it is right for you. 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.

Science Explorers Camp will spark the imagination and curiosity of children by providing them with fun, interactive and educational programs that instill a clear understanding of what science is really about and how it affects their world. The four-day camp will consist of big ideas in science including the human body, ecology/environmental studies, animals and design engineering. Topics • Explore Our Insides — Campers will learn about the human body and how it works. They will learn about the lungs, ears, bones and muscles. Hands-on activities will
reinforce and strengthen their understanding. • Go Green — Campers will have a blast while getting the best in environmental education. They will become nature detectives as they explore the great outdoors and their impact on it. • Animal Nature — This program ties a love of animals to a larger understanding of animal relationships to each other and their environment. Campers will use what they learn to create their own animal and its own unique environment. • Engineering is Elementary — Campers will become engineers as they use their knowledge of balance, force and motion to design and
build structures for specific functions. Instructor: Anne Ellis, science specialist, Horizons Unlimited; maximum enrollment: 20 campers. All campers will use and learn skills and concepts in science such as observing, comparing, problem solving, making inferences, drawing conclusions, real life applications and working in teams. Our goal is to create the best summer experience ever for young scientists and to increase interest and enthusiasm for science.
