Family loses all to fire No one home when Forest Meadow Lane blaze breaks out BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com
shelley smith/SALISBURY POST
Firefighters start going through the house to put out hot spots Thursday after the blaze at 132 Forest Meadow Lane.
SALISBURY — Terry and Veronica Thomas lost everything to a fire Thursday morning at their 132 Forest Meadow Lane home, but they plan to rebuild.
The Rowan County Fire Marshal’s Office is still investigating the cause of the fire, but investigators believe it started around a door in the garage that leads to the kitchen, and the flames were the result of wires arcing. No one was home during the fire and no firefighters were injured. The fire had spread so quickly by the time firefighters arrived that they had to take a defensive approach. The Thomases have three children — a 20-year-old who is away at college, and two 16-year-olds at North Rowan High School — who all are devastated, Veronica Thomas said.
Fines for signs: $19,000
“They’re taking it hard,” she said. “They’re not doing good at all, but I tried to reassure them that everything is going to be OK.” The Thomases have lived in the home since 1996 and have insurance. They will be staying at the Holiday Inn until their insurance company finds adequate housing for them, Veronica said. They do not have relatives in Salisbury, but they are members of Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church. Dr. Nilous Avery is their pastor, and he and many

Bill would link unemployment pay, service to community Brock one of three sponsors of legislation in state Senate BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
RALEIGH — A state Senate bill would require volunteer work for people getting more than two months of unemployment insurance benefits. N.C. Sen. Andrew Brock, who represents Rowan and Davie counties, is one of three Republicans listed as primary sponsors of the legislation. It would require five hours of volunteer public service per week from weeks nine through 52 of
benefit eligibility, and 10 hours per week starting in week 53. Danielle Robinson, of Salisbury, applied for unemployment insurance Wednesday after losing the job she has held for two years. Previously, she had been out of work for three years. Robinson thinks it’s hard enough to be unemployed and looking for a job without the proposed community service commitment. “That’s like you’re working

Stan Williamson stands underneath signs at Okey Dokey, which accumulated $19,000 in fines for violating the city’s ordinance. The signs came down Thursday.
House gives initial Okey Dokey owners remove handpainted items; city started running up tab of $250 a day Feb. 25 OK to changing annexation laws BY EMILY FORD
eford@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — The Okey Dokey & Co. General Store in downtown Salisbury has accrued $19,000 in fines for storefront signs the city says are illegal. Co-owner Stan Williamson removed the signs Thursday after the Post asked about the fines accruing at a rate of $250 per day. The 20 handpainted signs advertising merchandise like “buttons” and “kitchenware” had replaced an awning that burned in April 2010. The total square footage of all signs on the storefront far exceeded the allowable limit
in the city’s sign ordinance, said Chris Branham, code services division manager. Williamson said he would have taken the signs down earlier if he’d known the fine was growing by the day. “It was not clear that the fine was accumulating,” coowner Bette Pollock said. Pollock said she received a letter from the city months ago notifying her of several code violations, including the signs. She said she called the city three times but never heard back. “I assumed it was no longer an issue,” she said. The city gave Okey Dokey owners ample notice of multiple code violations, Branham
said. He provided to the Post four letters dated from October 2010 to February 2011, which he said he mailed to Pollock’s home and hand-delivered and mailed to the business. The final letter, dated Feb. 24, states a daily fine of $250 will begin accruing Feb. 25 for a sign ordinance violation and will continue until the violation is corrected. Pollock said she only received one letter. Branham said he met with Pollock and Williamson in April, at Pollock’s request. They gathered at the back of the store to discuss an outdoor storage area and a building constructed of glass windows,
which both violated city code. Branham said he mentioned the ongoing sign violation during that meeting. Williamson dismantled the glass building, which he said was a greenhouse and served as a sales model. He acknowledged he had been temporarily using the greenhouse for storage, which is illegal. Furniture and structures made from reclaimed materials like doors and windows are the majority of Okey Dokey’s business. Williamson builds and paints the pieces behind the store. He admitted the back of

RALEIGH (AP) — The North Carolina House on Thursday gave its initial OK to a measure that would change dramatically the rules for towns and cities to expand their boundaries against the will of property owners in targeted areas. The chamber voted 10213 in favor of an overhaul of the 1959 law governing involuntary annexations. The measure would allow property owners to block an involuntary annexation if 60 percent of them sign a petition to oppose the action in a roughly four-month period. If enough owners do op-
pose it, the town or city would be barred from seeking an involuntary annexation again in the area for three years. Landowners in a municipality’s targeted area also could receive water and sewer service hookups all the way to their homes installed for free if enough people request it within about two months of a city’s decision to move ahead with the annexation. Citizens have often complained that cities forced them to pay thousands of dollars for services when water and sewer mains are built but not the connec-

13TH FROM 1a This year has one Friday the 13th — today. Next year has three. Consider yourself warned. But “13,” taken on its own, always has been considered an unlucky number. Other cities often skipped 13th Street when their grids were laid out, just as tall hotels and office buildings try to avoid a 13th floor when it comes to their numbering. Sandra and others on her street live with “13” every day. Sandra, for one, has few complaints. Her home has never experienced a break-in. She doesn’t see any “druggies” hanging out on 13th, which extends from North Main to Maxwell streets. Only once in awhile is someone playing loud music. While standing in her kitchen, she sometimes has felt her feet vibrate from the thump-thump of tunes blaring from a car. But Sandra loves her house, which she has fixed up smartly, and the location is great, she says, for getting anywhere in Salisbury and to points north such as Spencer, Lexington and High Point. Sandra has never won anything in her life and lives by Murphy’s Law, which says anything that can go wrong will go wrong. She’s
not superstitious, but she’s also not going to walk under any ladders. Who knows, a paint bucket might fall on her or she might trip. “But I’m pretty lucky,” Sandra concludes, “because I’m upright in the morning.”
As luck would have it There’s a flip side to living on 13th Street. You could live on Lucky Lane. For almost five years, Chad and Ann Hamilton have resided on Lucky Lane, in the eastern part of Rowan County. The official name of their small cul de sac of nine homes is Shamrock Meadows, so Lucky Lane makes sense. Ann Hamilton also says she’s not a superstitious person, but “I feel very fortunate and blessed to live on Lucky Lane.” “We have great neighbors,” she adds. One of the Hamiltons’ big blessings since living on Lucky Lane was the arrival three years ago of their daughter Hope, who joins their 12-year-old daughter, Jordan. Darlene Lopez says her Lucky Lane home also has been a blessing. After a divorce, she had to short-sell another house, and she was able to work out a rent-toown agreement on this place. After looking everywhere, Lopez says, the 3year-old Lucky Lane house was exactly what she wanted — an open floor plan, a nice front porch and convenient

location to her nursing shifts at the VA Medical Center and CMC-NorthEast. She also saw the street name — Lucky Lane — as an omen. “I do believe in miracles, for us to get what we were wishing for,” she says. “... This was just a blessing. I believe in that.” There’s one disadvantage to living on Lucky Lane. “Someone stole our street sign,” Ann Hamilton says.

the business was an eyesore. “I did have one hell of a mess back there,” he said. “Every time I tried to clean it up, I made it worse.” The area is still piled with construction materials, but Branham said it looks better. “They have vastly and greatly improved the way it looks back there,” he said. Branham said near-constant complaints from downtown merchants, people who park near the back of Okey Dokey and neighbors sparked the inspections and subsequent citations. The city fined the business for no reason other than because it violated the ordinances, he said. “We are not treating them differently than anybody else,” he said. “They had the same guidelines to follow as every other merchant.” The city even went the extra mile, hand-delivering the citation letters, Branham said. The city will negotiate with the owners on the $19,000 fine, he said. “The ultimate goal is not to make $20,000 off of signs but to bring someone into compliance,” Branham said. He said he would consider reducing the fine to the original $150 citation, issued before the daily fine started accruing. If he’d had to re-

Crews working to repair the historic Wil-Cox Bridge over the Yadkin River in Davidson and Rowan counties have finished chipping away the old, deteriorating concrete from the bridge. They are now filling those bare spots with new concrete using a special construction technique called shotcrete. With this method, workers spray the concrete onto the 89year-old bridge through a hose. Compressed air generates the force needed to shoot the concrete out of the nozzle. “Shotcrete is an essential part of our work to strengthen the Wil-Cox Bridge and make it safe for many years to come,” said Pat Ivey, N.C. Department of Transportation Division 9 engineer. “This technique provides easy access to hard-to-reach areas and allows the new concrete to bond well on the underside of the bridge.” Crews are working on the Rowan County side of the bridge, which used to carry U.S. 29/70 southbound traffic, and will work their way across the river over the next seven weeks. Work is expected to be complete by July. At that time, the Wil-Cox Bridge will be ready to carry all U.S. 29/70 traffic across the river while crews replace the northbound U.S. 29/70 bridge. These are both elements of the $201.5 million I85 Corridor Improvement Project, which will replace a total of eight bridges, reconstruct the interchange at Belmont Road, and widen 6.1 miles of I-85 in Davidson and Rowan counties. Davidson County plans to use the Wil-Cox Bridge as a pedestrian bridge once the NCDOT project is complete.

move the signs himself, Branham said, the larger fine would have stayed in place. Williamson and Pollock said they feel like the city has been harassing them. Their greenhouse was attractive, they said, and the signs were an appropriate addition to the front of the store. They have worked hard since buying the former O.O. Rufty’s in 2001, luring tourists to Salisbury with their unique business, Pollock said. “The city doesn’t know what kind of a jewel it has,” she said. “You just don’t find stores like this anymore.” The city should be helping merchants, not giving them a hard time, Pollock said. “There are people out there in violation of much worse things, things that look terrible,” she said. “They should be spending their time on that.” The Okey Dokey situation is unusual, said Randy Hemann, executive director for Downtown Salisbury Inc. “We have not had many issues like this but when we have, they seem to have emanated from people not pulling permits, not asking about the regulations before they do work, or not attempting to work with the city,” Hemann said in an email. The city has revised the sign ordinance to accommodate reasonable requests, he said, including the marquee for the Norvell Theater. Contact reporter Emily Ford at 704-797-4264.

Hood Seminary celebrates 10 years of independence BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
Jon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST
Hulene Woody and Suzanne Rose work with other Carillon Assisted Living staff in preparing for their annual Duck Days Race for a Cure event to be held at their Mooresville Road location on Saturday. All of the funds raised will go to benefit the American Cancer Society and Relay for Life. BY JOANIE MORRIS For the Salisbury Post
Suzanne Rose is a survivor. Hulene Woody, Traci Sparks, Enga Shaver and Virginia Basinger are too. They aren’t the only ones. Over the last 18 months, Carillon Assisted Living in Salisbury has seen its share of employees, residents and friends of the center hit hard with cancer. Rose estimates there are currently two residents with cancer, 20 who are survivors and at least eight who moved in shortly after losing a spouse to cancer. In addition, at least 10 have lost children to cancer and five that she knows of who have immediate family members currently undergoing treatment for cancer. The numbers are just as high among the staff. Four have been diagnosed – including Rose – and two have had cancer “scares,” going through months of testing to rule out a cancer diagnosis. “At a recent staff meeting, those present (there were close to 60) were asked if they had lost an immediate family member to cancer or if they were survivors,” said Rose. “Every
SALISBURY — In the decade since Hood Theological Seminary became independent of Livingstone College, the student population has flourished, prompting both academic and physical growth. Enrollment has nearly tripled since the seminary became a separate entity in 2001. Ned Storey, trustee emeritus, said breaking away from Livingstone has allowed the seminary to progress. “It was just a great move for Hood,” he said. Hood President Dr. Albert Aymer attributes much of the growth to the school’s ability to offer the Doctor of Ministry degree, which has attracted students from a variety of backgrounds. “We now have diversity in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, denomiAYMER nation and race,” he said. Dr. Dora Mbuwayesango, associate professor of Old Testament, said since coming to the seminary in 1995 she’s seen the number of denominations represented grow to at least 16. “When I came, most of the students were A.M.E. Zion, and there were a few Baptists; now we have representations from all denominations,” she said. Aymer said in order to offer the doctoral degree that fueled Hood’s success, the seminary had to break away from Livingstone because the school’s accreditation level didn’t allow for advanced degrees. “I realized that waiting for Livingstone to get promoted would keep the seminary back,” he said. “We would probably still be there now not being able to offer a doctoral degree.” Aymer said being able to offer that degree was vital to the seminary’s progression. “It enables us to be even more widely ecumenical,” he said. The program also allows the seminary to serve pastors who are mid-career. “That’s an important thing to do because you are impacting congregations through the students who participate in it,” Aymer said. Aymer said the program also prevents pastoral burnout. “It infuses them with new vision, new understanding of what the ministry is about,” he said. “It’s a very vital program for the effectiveness in the ministry of the church.” Dr. Dick Martin, trustee emeritus, said since adding the doctoral degree the United Methodist Church has approved the seminary as a school for training its ministers. “That has made it possible to attract students that we might not otherwise attract,” he said.

KANNAPOLIS — As the band Déjà Vu warmed up in the gazebo at Veterans Park, people old and young gathered, laying out blankets and setting up lawn chairs. Soon, the band started their set, including covers from the ’60s, ’70s and beyond. This is the third year that the city of Kannapolis has sponsored the Thursdays on Main concert series in Veterans Park, a lunchtime concert for anyone who wants to come. “We needed something for the community to come together,” said Becky Tolle, the city’s special events coordinator. “We decided to offer a lunch time music series. There was a niche we could fill and we did.” The series will run through June, with bands playing from approximately 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the park next to First Baptist Church on the corner of Main Street and First Avenue. All of the concerts are free. Performances will feature everything from jazz to classical and big band, as well as cover bands like Deja Vu, under the trees in Veterans Park. Concert goers are encouraged to bring a picnic lunch or buy food from vendors showcased each week. Parking is available on-street in downtown Kannapolis. James and Katherine Carter have lived in Kannapolis their whole lives. They come to the concerts to get out of the house. “It’s a break in the week,” said Katherine. “Something to do.” If she wasn’t at the concert, she said, “I’d probably just clean the house.” “It’s a good community activity,” said Freddie Lewis, a Lifeskills teacher at A.L. Brown High School. He brings his students to the concerts every week to help learn social skills and have a little fun. The students, part of the moderate to severe intellectual disabilities class at the school, have a blast. Most dance with others at the concerts, or simply shake their groove thing alone. With smiles on their faces and a bounce in their steps, it’s not hard to see they have a good time at the concerts.

CARILLON FROM 3a It’s those stories that prompted Rose and the staff of Carillon to combine their cancer fundraiser – Duck Days, where anyone can come to the center and participate in a duck race – with Relay for Life. “We’ve never, other than piggybacking off of Relay, had any involvement with it,” said Rose. That changes this year. “I thought it was very important, given everything that’s gone on with us, to be involved.” Rose and a group from Carillon will take ducks to Relay for Life, offering them in exchange for donations. The donor can then bring the duck to Carillon on Saturday for the duck races. Ducks are raced in guttering cut in half and filled with water. Participants shoot the ducks with water guns and race them to the finish line. In addition to the Relay for Life event, ducks will also be available at Carillon on Saturday for their Duck Days, which will include a yard sale and arts and crafts festival from 8 a.m. to noon. Rose and the staff at Carillon have only raised a few hundred dollars for the American Cancer Society with the Duck Days events in the past, mainly because they’ve just wanted to make the event about awareness. They only ask for donations at the end of the day from vendors and yard sale participants, never setting a specified amount to participate. And ducks generally go for around $4 per duck on the day of the races. This year though, Rose said that’s changed. The group has already raised more than any other Duck Days in the past and the event doesn’t even start until tonight. “I said, we need to step it up,” said Rose. One of the reasons she decided to push Relay for Life this year was because of Janie Speaks, a former resident who passed

Maria Stracuzzi helps out staff members look through the hundreds of little rubber ducks that will be used in a rain gutter duck race. away of cancer in April 2010. “She was probably the most humble person I ever met,” said Rose, remembering her dear friend and resident of the center. Speaks had battled breast cancer, but “you’d never know until the day she died she was battling it.” Rose and the other employees of Carillon all agree that it was Speaks who taught them much about courage, and fighting a battle like cancer. “I think about her every day.” “People talk about the miracle of birth,” said Rose. “There’s so much beauty in the miracle of death.” Relay for Life begins tonight at 5 p.m. at the Rowan County Fairgrounds. With more than $180,000 raised so far, and 121 teams participating, Rose and the rest of the gang at Carillon expect this to be the best year ever. They hope people will come from Relay on Saturday morning and go over to Carillon and check out the Duck Days there. Gates open at 5 p.m. on Friday and events last through Saturday morning. Relay for Life raises money
for the American Cancer Society, celebrates cancer survivors and remembers those who have been claimed by the disease. There will be food, games and entertainment. Admission is free, but organizers ask people attending to donate canned food items to go to China Grove Mission. Teams will also be accepting donations during the event. There will be traffic issues surrounding the event this evening, including: • Julian Road will be completely closed at the Rowan County Fairgrounds, probably around 3 p.m. — depending on when the traffic volume picks up. All traffic coming in the road will have to turn into a parking lot. Everything coming from I85 will turn to the right toward the recycling centeranimal shelter area. • All the parking on the fairgrounds site will be for survivors and handicapped, approximately 150-200 spaces. Having placards displayed will help things go faster. It will be easier for most coming from the I-85 side. • Guest speakers will have a designated area in the fenced-in area at the cattle barn entrance and should enter from the Old Concord Road area if possible. • All other traffic coming in from Old Concord Road will have to turn left into the parking area. There will be a limited number of survivor and handicapped parking on that side. • There is also parking at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College; city buses will be shuttling to the fairgrounds. • Anyone wanting to drop off equipment etc., can start doing so today. Those who need to drop off items on Friday are asked to be outside the fence by 4:30 p.m. due to foot traffic picking up. There will also be limited parking behind the barns for those who need to park on the inside. For more information on Relay for Life, visit www.relayforlife.org/rowan.

Bill to rename Yadkin River Bridge passes
SheLLey Smith/SaLISBURY POST
The rear wheels of the 18-wheeler were detached after the collision.
CRASH FROM 3a Hayes was in the right-hand southbound lane of exit 68 and ran off the shoulder. A witness told Doty the car jerked to the left and drove under the 18-wheeler. The rear tandems of the trailer went right over her, and the impact sent her back into the exit ramp, Doty said.
The driver of the tractortrailer truck, Gabriel Medina, 42 and of Texas, was able to keep control of the truck and trailer, moving to the shoulder of I-85. The trailer drug for about a quarter of a mile, and left nearly 1-inch indentions in the road. Hayes’ legs were pinned underneath the dash of her four-door Oldsmobile Aurora. Emergency responders had to cut the driver’s side door off, the roof of the car,
and cut the dash in half to get Hayes out of the car and to the hospital. Hayes was talking to responders at the scene, but was in a lot of pain, Doty said. Her injuries are unknown. Exit 68 was reopened around 6 p.m. Responders included Bostian Heights Fire Department, Rowan EMS, Rowan Rescue, CMC AirCare, N.C. DOT and the Highway Patrol.
The state bill to rename the Yadkin River Bridge in honor of veterans passed the House in a unanimous vote Wednesday. It has now been sent to the Senate. N.C. Rep. Fred Steen, who represents part of Rowan County, introduced House Bill 490 to name the new bridge being built on Interstate 85 the “Yadkin River Veterans Memorial Bridge.” Construction is underway to replace the aging bridge that currently spans the Yadkin River between Rowan and Davidson counties. The project began in late September 2010 and is expected to finish in January 2013. It also includes the widening of about 3 miles of adjacent interstate.

HOOD
Hood Theological Seminary history
FROM 3a
1903 — The seminary began as a theological department of Livingstone College and in 1904 was elevated to school status. 1906 — The cornerstone was laid for a new building to be named Hood Theological Seminary after a renowned bishop of the A.M.E. Zion Church, Bishop James Walker Hood. 1965 — Another new seminary building was erected adjacent to the Livingstone College campus, and was named the W. J. Walls Center in honor of Bishop and Mrs. William Jacob Walls, whose generosity and leadership spearheaded the erection of the building. 1970s-80s — The seminary’s enrollment averaged 30 students. 1994 — Hood’s current president, Dr. Albert J. D. Aymer, began serving as dean of the seminary, with a focus on raising the academic quality of the graduate school and growing enrollment. 1998 — Hood Theological Seminary achieved full accreditation in the Association of Theological Schools in the U.S.A. and Canada (ATS). 1999 — Hood received approval by the University Senate of the United Methodist Church as a recognized seminary for training ministerial students for that denomination. 2001 — Hood obtained independence from Livingstone College and became a free-standing seminary and graduate school with its own board of trustees. Aymer was appointed and inaugurated as Hood’s first president ATS granted the seminary permission to offer the advanced graduate degree program in continuing preparation for ministry — the doctor of ministry degree 2002 — The rapidly growing student body reaches more than 200 students, and Hood struggles to meet their educational needs on its small Thomas Street campus. 2003 — The seminary bought the former Days Inn Hotel, just off Interstate 85 east of Salisbury, and converted it into a new seminary campus July 2004 — A service of dedication was held for the new property. September 2005 — The seminary opened the fall semester of classes in the renovated facility on the campus where it is now located. 2006 — Hood welcomed 13 new students to the first class of its extension program in Alabama. Spring 2010 — Hood Seminary celebrated the largest graduating class in its 106-year history, including the first official graduates from the Alabama extension campus. Today — Hood Theological Seminary students are Protestant (of 16 different denominations) and Roman Catholic, black and white, male and female, and represent a diversity of ages and backgrounds.
New space
Changes Since breaking away from Livingstone, Aymer has implemented several things he believes are essential to a thriving seminary.

Bishop Joseph Johnson, left, walks with hood staff and faculty members touring the former Days Inn campus in 2004.
“When I came, most of the students were A.M.E. Zion and there were a few Baptists; now we have representations from all denominations.” DR. DORA MBUWAYESANGO Associate professor, Old Testament
First, he worked to host annual public lectures with varying topics. “It infuses both the community and the school with knowledge from some of the leading persons in specific fields,” Aymer said. “Education helps you to see people differently, see the work differently, live differently.” Next, Aymer worked to create eight endowed scholarships. “We didn’t have any,” he said. “We needed those to help our students pay the bills.” Before separating from Livingstone, Aymer completely retooled Hood’s curriculum, modeling it after the divinity schools of Yale, Duke and Drew universities. “I looked at what was good in all three and what I thought needed to be distinctive about Hood,” he said. Aymer said the seminary also began an exten-
sion program in Alabama in 2006. The program, set up on the campus of Lomax Hannon College in Greenville, Ala., is facilitated through interactive video conferencing. The technology allows students there to attend classes hosted in Salisbury, listening and talkwith professors ing through cameras and microphones. The first set of graduates from the Alabama campus participated in commencement last spring.
Aymer’s leadership Storey said Aymer’s leadership has propelled the seminary foward since he joined the staff in 1994. “He’s just been wonderful,” he said. “He’s so talented. Everybody appreciates his good work.” Martin said there is no question that Hood has thrived in Aymer’s hands. Kluttz said Aymer is al-
ways looking toward the future. “He has pushed forward to keep getting better,” she said. “In spite of tough times, he’s kept the aim high. “He’s pushed and Hood’s become stronger because of those tough times.” But Aymer said as Hood marks its 10-year anniversary as a separate institution, he attributes the success to the “grace of God.” “It’s a combination of things,” he said. “The support of the church, the benefactors who looked upon us kindly and, of course, careful management of our resources.”

Aymer said the biggest challenge the seminary has faced since separating from Livingstone has been finding a facility to meet its needs. “We wanted to relocate to a place that could accommodate a growing institution like this,” he said. The seminary remained in Livingstone’s building at the end of West Thomas Street until 2005. “The building where we were in was built to accommodate about 50 students,” he said. “When we split we had well over 100 students.” Offices and classrooms were in “one little building,” Aymer said. As the seminary began searching for a new place to call home, Mona Lisa Wallace, a partner in the law firm of Wallace & Graham, suggested the former Days Inn Hotel off Interstate 85. “She asked would an older hotel work and we said ‘yes,’” Aymer said. “At the time we said yes we didn’t have a dime to buy it.” Aymer said the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church stepped in to purchase the property. The church also provided money for the renovation. Margaret Kluttz, Hood’s development officer, said the seminary raised the additional funds needed for the remodel through community support. The property was dedicated in July 2004 and opened for classes the following fall. “The new campus is far superior to what we had in the single old building on Livingstone’s campus,” Martin said.

CrimeRoundup SALISBURY — A tip to Salisbury Police led to the arrest of a suspected crack dealer on Shaver Street Wednesday night, authorities said. The Salisbury Police Department’s Vice and Narcotics Unit received information that BLACKWELL John Blackwell was around 214 N. Shaver St. selling crack cocaine, a report said. After watching Blackwell make a transaction, members of the drug unit and Police Interdiction Team approached Blackwell and found him with
1 gram of crack cocaine. Blackwell, 28, of 527 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Ave., was charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver crack cocaine and received a $5,000 secured bond. He made his first appearance in court Thursday morning. Police said officers noticed the living conditions at the 214 N. Shaver St. residence were hazardous, and Chris Branham, the city’s code enforcer, was contacted and is working to “resolve the issues,” police said.
16-year-old charged with assault on child SALISBURY — A 16-yearold was charged with assault on a child after police say she approached a woman at Lincoln Park in Salisbury, got into an argument with her, and hit her in

She was released on a written promise to appear in court. Police said the victim, Ganine Leach, 22, was playing in the park with her child on April 25 Lee when came up to her and said LEE she wanted to fight. The report said Leach picked up her child and tried to leave, but Lee struck her in the face and wrist, also striking her child. Lee’s first appearance in court is May 23.

Daughters of Confederacy to present veterans with medals A service to be conducted by the Robert F. Hoke Chapter No. 78, United Daughters of the Confederacy, will honor seven U.S. Army, Navy and Coast Guard veterans with eight medals Saturday. The ceremony will be held at 2 p.m. in the Stanback Auditorium of the Rowan Public Library. The awards honor lineal descendants of Confederate veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. The service is open to the public, and a special invitation is extended to all veterans and past recipients of UDC medals. A reception will follow the service. The bestowal of UDC medals to veterans dates back to 1898 when the UDC resolved that every Confederate veteran should receive a medal now known as “The Southern Cross of Honor.” The small bronze medals were in the shape of a Maltese Cross, and they were to be worn only by Confederate veterans. Although many veterans were buried with their crosses, some remain in the hands of their descendants and others can be viewed in museums. The first Southern Cross bestowed was in 1900, and by 1913, there were 78,761 awarded. The last was presented in 1959 posthumously to Rear Admiral Raphael Semmes. The UDC began to honor lineal descendants of Confederate veterans who served during war periods in 1922. Each Cross of Military Service has the color of ribbon used by the military during a particular war period, and each bronze medal is suspended from a ribbon by the entwined monogram “UDC.” A National Defense Medal was approved in 1991, and the Armed Forces Expeditionary Service Medal was approved in 1995. Past recipients of UDC medals include Gen. John A. LeJeune, Gen. Omar Nelson Bradley, Col. Joseph E. Wheeler, Col. Warren Jefferson Davis, Rear Admiral Thomas P. Magruder, 2nd Lt. George Edward Pickett III, Lt. Gen.
George Smith Patton, Jr., Maj. Alvin C. York, Capt. James Ewell Brown Stuart II, Vice Admiral Fitzhugh Lee III, Col. Edmund Kirby-Smith, Rear Admiral Beverly Mosby Coleman, and Gen. William Childs Westmoreland. Chapter President Trudy Hall and Recorder of Military Service Awards Sue Curtis will present the medals using the UDC Ritual. Hoke Historian Sandra Boyer, member Judy Smith-Ballard and incoming member Dianne Hall will participate. Nancy Sloop will present patriotic music on her keyboard. Government flags and ones from the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard will be among those displayed. Frank Grady Hall III, past governor of the Order of the Founders and Patriots of America, will deliver remarks. Here’s a rundown of medals being given out Saturday: • Eugene Morrison Adkins III will receive the World War I Cross of Military Service for his grandfather, Eugene Morrison Adkins Sr., who died November 1971 in Greenwood, S.C.

Noise in woods likely cicadas; dropping magnolia leaves OK BY DARRELL BLACKWELDER For the Salisbury Post
ALISBURY — Plants are blooming, weeds are growing and insects are becoming an annoyance, sparking numerous e-mails and phone conversations. Below are some questions that Cooperative Extension has received over the past few days. Q: I have a pasture that is full of a weed that has a yellow, tall flower. They are in full bloom now and are all over the county. How do I get rid of them? A: “One man’s flower is often another man’s weed.” With apologies to Clyde, your weed is probably false dandelion. It can grow either as a winter annual or a biennial. Specialists at N.C. State University recommend you maintain a dense, active fescue through proper mowing, fertilizing and watering practices. It is best to control this biennial broadleaf weed in spring or fall, if actively growing at these times. Use a post-emergence broadleaf weed herbicide labeled for pastures. Q: I have the strange noise in my woods that is driving me crazy. It goes on all night long. My neighbors are com-
S
plaining. What is this noise and how do I control it? A: Sounds like your cicadas have arrived. Some refer to these as 17 year locusts, but these are not true locusts. There are several species of periodical cicadas. Some emerge on 13year cycles and some emerge on 17-year cycles. Periodical cicadas sing and fly in spring, whereas other species of cicadas are active during the summer. There is really no practical control for the insect. Go to www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/ent/ notes/O&T/shrubs/note17/ note17.html for more complete information about the insect and its life cycle. Q: My magnolia tree is dropping a lot of leaves. Is there a problem with the magnolia trees in our area? A: Magnolias and other evergreen trees naturally drop leaves and replace them each year. It is very common and your trees should be OK. Q: I have some squash that are rotting on the end. I am giving them plenty of water. What can cause them to rot like this? A: Blossom end rot is commonly thought of as a problem that affects tomatoes but it can also affect squash and other vegetables. Blossom
Scripps Howard News Service
Squash shows blossom-end rot. end rot in squash and other vegetables is due to a calcium deficiency. This can be exacerbated by lack of water, too much water, cold weather and other forces that can stress a plant. When a plant doesn’t get proper amounts of calcium while the fruit is developing, cells don’t develop correctly, especially on the end of the fruit which grows the fastest. Make sure the soil is properly limed and irrigate correctly.

Tapestries add texture, warmth to a room
False dandelion is amazingly similar to the real thing.
Cicadas are starting to raise a ruckus.
If you’re looking for something that will add a little oomph to your home decor, but aren’t sure exactly what will do the trick, consider a wall tapestry. A wall tapestry is a woven cloth used for decoration. A tapestry will be a design in the weave of the cloth, or it may be a woven cloth with a design painted onto it after it has been woven. Tapestries are usually large, so proper placement needs to be considered. You will want to highlight the wall art, so a large, vacant wall is ideal. Sometimes the tapestry is divided into two or three pieces creating one design. These are called diptychs if divided in two, or triptychs if divided into three parts. On an oversized wall, a diptych or triptych is helpful, because you can space them a bit to take up more room on the wall. Typical places for these large tapestries are over the fireplace, on the wall by the staircase, on a large wall with a high ceiling or alone on an accent wall. There are smaller tapestries that would do well over a headboard or over a sofa or loveseat. Wherever you place this art, be sure that it fits in with the rest of the decor. A very traditional tapestry will look out of place in an other-

Be good to your body when gardening or you’ll pay for it later S ALISBURY — The planting frenzy is now upon us, with retail outlets bombarded with home gardeners anticipating a colorful summer and an abundance of vegetables. After a few days’ of work in the garden, most have one thing in comDARRELL mon — we aren't able to BLACKWELDER function normally for two or three days from over-exertion. Being somewhat dormant
for a relatively long winter causes unused muscles to become stiff and tight. Over-exertion and soreness take much of the pleasure out of spring gardening. Below are a few tips that may make gardening efforts less painful. • Stretch before strenuous work. Athletes stretch and warm up before entering their field of battle. Home gardeners should do likewise when battling weeds and planting. • Take frequent breaks, especially during hot and humid weather. Work early mornings or late in the afternoon, avoiding the heat of
the day. • Use labor saving devices. Those with a touch of arthritis should use ergonomically correct tools. Knee pads work wonders for the knee caps, reducing strain from tasks that require constant bending. Padded-handle tools with large grips reduce strain of extended gripping. Use soft leather gloves to reduce incidence of blisters. • Use proper tools for the job. Tools should be sharp and in good shape. You may have to read instructions to learn how to properly use garden equipment. • Protect your skin.
Wear a hat when working outdoors. Broad-brimmed hats reduce chance of melanoma (skin cancer) to the face and neck. Baseball caps offer minimal protection — be sure to use sunscreens on the ears and neck. Sunscreens are beneficial in reducing harmful rays of the sun. Use sunscreen and lip balm with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher. Apply a generous amount of sunscreen (about a palmful) and reapply after swimming, toweling dry or perspiring. Use sunscreen even on hazy or overcast days. • Protect exposed areas
from insect pests with repellents. Mosquitoes can make outdoor gardening miserable, especially in late evening. Check yourself regularly for ticks. • Sore muscles and aches may be quelled with over-the- counter pain relievers. Consult your family doctor if there is any doubt about which pain reliever to take. • Consult your doctor if you are unsure about your health. Gardening is hard labor requiring extreme physical exertion in some cases. Physical exertion coupled with extreme temperatures could spell trouble.
• Have a realistic plan. Don’t try to achieve impossible goals. Save the herculean tasks when you have ample help or are in good shape.

Boyfriend gets hit with bombshell Yes you can paint over wallpaper be about her mother’s new romance, I think it is completely understandable that she would be quite conflicted and thrown off — at least at first. Also vexing is the idea that her mother would confide in you but not in her. Your partner’s mother put you in a terrible spot. The best response would have been for you to say, “I’m really not comfortable keeping this sort of secret. Now that I know your news, it would be best if you gave her a call before I get home. I’m sure she’d like to talk to you about it.” Dear Amy: I was visiting a friend for the holiday who had relatives over. The relatives brought salad, fruit and dessert to supplement the dinner. As they were leaving, they helped themselves to the balance of the items they brought. I always thought that when you bring food to someone’s house, you shouldn’t expect to bring home your leftovers unless the hostess offers. Am I right? — Foodless Friend Dear Friend: Every family is different, but in mine, when a person brings a dish to share, the leftovers are often returned as they leave (along with the dish, washed and sparkling). Some leftovers are simply too dangerous to have around the host’s house. Not everyone dares to have my Aunt Lena’s tasty molded Jell-O salad sitting in the fridge, calling out for a midnight snack. Dear Amy: I had to reply to “Upset,” whose manipulative in-laws are about to move into their area. My mother was a manipulator. Pouting was her favorite tool. When she was confront-

Look around and compare various tapestries to get a feel for what has integrity of composition. Check to be sure the art is well woven and is on the smooth side.

ed about her behavior, she would resort to self-pity and tears. The confrontations were exhausting. I learned to leave her house the moment she started in. I would simply tell my kids to get their things together because it was time to go. When she would ask why, I simply repeated that it was time to leave. My older sister still marvels at how well this worked. One time my sister called me upset because she had stood up to our mom on the phone and mom had been very upset and was crying when the conversation ended. I said I’d drop by and check on her. I dropped by and found her puttering in the yard in great spirits, obviously feeling that her little act had had the desired effect. Always remember that manipulators have the hide of an alligator. — Cured Dear Cured: Manipulators will not change as long as their behavior gets them what they want. And sometimes, people just plow themselves into a rut and don’t bother behaving well. I have often suggested the “Kids, get your coats” statement as a calm and certain response to manipulation. I’m glad it worked for you. Send questions via e-mail to askamy@tribune.com or by mail to Ask Amy, Chicago Tribune, TT500, 435 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60611.

Spring cleaning is in the air, and with it, so is light remodeling of our homes. Let’s talk about painting over existing wallpaper. Yes, it can be done. Before starting, it’s important to have all the necessary equipment. Here’s what you’ll need. Of course, the first step is paint. Check with the paint store to know how much you will need for the size of the room you are painting. A little extra is good — a little shy is not. You’ll also need primer, painter’s tape, plastic disposable drip cloths, rollers and brushes, paint trays and texture if you are going to texture the walls. And when you’re painting over wallpaper, one additional necessity is wallpaper touch-up glue that comes in a tube and is available at home stores. To begin, move all furniture out of the way — out of the room if possible so you have plenty of room to work and move ladders around. Lay plastic disposable drip cloths over the floor and over any furniture in the room. What is most tedious, but absolutely necessary, is taping the floorboards and trim so you have a clean edge of paint. Take time to lay the tape down straight and taut. You don’t want a jagged edge or paint drips on the wood. Remove light-switch plates and store the screws in a safe place. You might want to take the time to wash the plates before put-
natural bumps should be avoided. Then be sure to choose a pattern or subject that will hold your interest, one you will not tire of after a few months. We always look for a focal point in a room and, chosen and placed correctly, a wall tapestry could be the perfect choice.

time. You can take this time to wash out the rollers with mild soap and water and set them out to dry. If you want the wall to have texture, this is when you apply it. Once the texture is applied, seal it again with more primer before starting the paint. Remix the paint. If it has been sitting for a long period, you should take it to the paint store to remix. When I start the actual painting, I like to start with the edges and corners, which are painted with a brush. Use a very steady hand. This is where a good tape job pays off. Don’t overload your paint tray. This can cause spills and unnecessary messes. Roll the color onto the wall using a zigzag pattern. Let it dry. You will probably need two coats of paint. Good ventilation is necessary, so open the windows and leave them open to rid the room of the paint fumes. If it is a bedroom, sleep in a different room at least for one night so you aren’t inhaling those fumes all night.

ting them back on the wall after the paint is dry. If you are painting on a plain wall, you may start now. If you are painting over existing wallpaper, a little more prep work needs to be done. If there are any seams in the wallpaper that are a bit lifted, you need to re-glue them. Check all corners and seams to be sure all the paper is securely attached to the wall. You do not want the paint to soak in behind the paper or the paper will start to come off the wall. Next apply a quick-dry primer. You want the primer to dry quickly so it doesn’t absorb into the paper, causing it to possibly detach from the wall if it gets soaked. If the wallpaper is vinyl, you will need to use an oil-based primer. The reason for the primer is twofold: to create a solid base so the paint won’t absorb into the paper and to stop the wallpaper design from bleeding through the paint. Let the primer dry completely.

Dear Amy: I recently took a brief vacation, and I stayed at the home of my (live-in) girlfriend’s mother. My girlfriend was not there; we are both educators, and her spring vacation is at a different time. During my visit, the mother told me that she had recently developed a romantic relationship with a man. Her husband of more than 40 years passed away about a year prior to our conversation. ASK She asked AMY me not to tell my girlfriend, since she’d be seeing her in person on a weeklong vacation the following month and didn’t want her to hear it secondhand. I obliged. I honestly believed my girlfriend would feel happy that her mother had found some companionship. When my girlfriend returned from her vacation, she was furious at me for not divulging her mom’s secret to her and for forcing her to be surprised by this news that she doesn’t like. She accused me of not being on “her team.” Though I appreciate what she might think about her mom jumping back into the dating pool so soon, I was stunned at her reaction to me. Does she have a point? — Keeping Secrets Dear Secrets: You sign your letter “Keeping Secrets,” and yet this is exactly what intimate partners should not do.

WEAPONS ON CAMPUS
GOP fumbles on Medicare n the 2010 elections, many of the 87 freshmen Republicans ran savage health-care attack ads, accusing Democratic opponents of gutting Medicare to pay for President Barack Obama’s health-care reform and putting access to medical care in the hands of government bureaucrats, the so-called death panels. Now, as Politico headlined, “Freshmen get taste of own medicine with new attacks.” Three weeks ago, House Republicans voted for a deficit-cutting 2012 budget plan that called for turning Medicare into a voucher system. Then they went home for a two-week recess to face a backlash from constituents. Their voucher plan was not well received, and it was surprisingly unpopular among seniors who wouldn’t be affected by the change. But a new Quinnipiac poll says that 60 percent of voters think Medicare should be left alone. The Democratic campaign committees rushed out attack ads accusing House Republicans of trying to abolish Medicare. The ads must have stung. This week, Obama received a surprising letter signed by 42 freshmen Republicans. It said, in essence: Call off the dogs. They wrote, “We ask that you stand above partisanship, condemn the disingenuous attacks and work with Congress to reform spending on entitlement programs,” one of which is, of course, Medicare. “As a freshman class, we have the opportunity to wipe the slate clean ...,” the letter continued. It is time, they wrote, “to reset the tone in Washington by ending the partisan bickering.” Of course, they can say that now because they’ve won their elections, and those of them backed by the Tea Party movement were sent here precisely to engage in partisan bickering. The House Republicans’ handling of Medicare has been a series of stumbles. Last week, the GOP leadership conceded that the Medicare reform plan was not politically viable and indicated that it would not waste political capital fighting for the plan. This was only a recognition of political reality as long as Democrats control the Senate. But it had the effect of pulling the rug out from under the rank and file that had barely finished voting for it. At the end of last week, the leadership reaffirmed its support for the Republican budget plan and its own commitment to “preserve and strengthen Medicare,” which is not what this budget does. And what about that call to rise above partisanship, petty politics and endless bickering? At this week’s end, the National Republican Congressional Campaign began roadtesting attack ads accusing Obama and other Democrats of planning to let Medicare go bankrupt and put seniors’ access to medical care in the hands of government bureaucrats.

Common sense
met Bobby Safrit a year and a half ago. Just out of the blue, one day he called and asked if I would be interested in playing the piano for his church. A mutual friend had given Bobby my name and number. I told him I would be willing to commit for a few months, but those few months have now turned into more than a year. Bobby is the volunteer music director at Franklin Baptist Church. It didn’t take long to realize that he enjoys life and squeezes DICY every ounce out MCCULLOUGH of every minute of every day. He’s had several careers, but probably the most exciting was when he worked as a paramedic for the Rowan County EMS. Bobby loves helping people, and this position put him right in the middle of his element. He was with the Rowan County EMS for 18 years and, in his own words, “witnessed many miracles.” One of those was an accident in which a car was destroyed, yet the baby’s car seat in the back had not been touched. After 18 years of dealing with life and death situations, he was ready for a change, so when offered a position with Mid-State Metals, he knew the time was right. Bobby met his wife, Betsy, when she was just 17 and he was 18. They dated for six years and married when Betsy
Justin Safrit, front, crosses a hanging bridge with father Bobby at a park in Tennessee. graduated from college with a teaching degree. They both wanted children and were excited at the birth of their first child, a boy. Even though Bobby had given much of his life in service to God, he became angry with God when he and Betsy realized there was something different about their son, Justin. Justin was not developing like other children his age, and even his Nana Safrit became concerned because when she tried to read to him he wouldn’t sit still for a story. Yet, it wasn’t until kindergarten that he was diagnosed as intellectually disabled. When Bobby heard the news, all he could see in front of him were the visions of things a father does with a son
disappearing before his eyes. It was a slow process of coming back from this heartbreak, but slowly he began to realize Justin’s life brought its own blessings. He credits Jtan Whisenant, Justin’s teacher at Overton, for teaching him how to cope with everyday life. Not only was he taught academic skills in her class, but he was also taught functional ones as well. When Justin was 5 years old, his sister, Tara, was born. As Tara grew, she became aware her brother was different. Even though she was protective, she would still pick at him, as any sibling might. Tara says she didn’t realize until she left for college two years ago just how much she would miss him. She then adds, “Justin makes you feel good about yourself because he’s always happy.” Over the years, Tara has helped her brother develop in ways Betsy and Bobby couldn’t. Justin is now 26 and capable of doing many things, one of which is running the sound system on Sunday mornings for church services. He learned how to do this by watching his dad and gradually just took over. He does a good job, and everyone is proud of what he has accomplished. The only thing is, if you ever show him how to do something one way, you better make sure you don’t make any changes in the way it’s done. Change is hard for him. As I was talking to Bobby and Tara after church a couple of Sundays ago, they revealed
Voters want and need flexibility Winston-Salem Journal
ake all of the changes that the past 20 years have brought to our lifestyles — the Internet, iPhones, shopping, etc. — and one word categorizes them: “flexibility.” In 2011, Americans want flexibility in performing their duties and in pursuing their interests. That’s why a voting bill filed in the state Senate makes absolutely no sense for today’s way of life. Sen. Jim Davis, R-Macon, wants to DAVIS curtail the flexibility that early voting has given North Carolinians over the past dozen years. It’s hard to believe that Davis has any motive other than the interests of the Republican Party in mind as he proposes to shrink the early voting period by one week, eliminate Sunday voting and stop “same-day registration.” Republicans have fought early voting going back to the first legislative efforts in the 1990s. By 2001, North Carolina had an early voting law, and the first beneficiaries were Democrats. After expansion of the law in 2007, President Obama benefited in 2008, winning the early voting by a huge margin and then hanging on to win the state by 14,000 votes after losing by 291,000 votes on Election Day. But a partisan agenda makes no sense, either. That’s because Republicans have also benefited from early voting. After the initial Democratic advantages in 2002 elections, Republicans caught up in subsequent elections. Early voting is particularly appreciated in the suburbs, which trend Republican, because they provide the same kind of flexibility for busy people as DVRs and cell phones. And, in 2010, Sen. Richard Burr, a Republican, put together a concerted early-voting effort and won the pre-Election Day vote. Davis says his bill has nothing to do with partisan interests; he says he wants to save money. In a country that spends nearly $1 trillion a year to protect its democracy from foreign threats, Davis wants to save a few bucks by curtailing voter turnout? We don’t buy that. ... Voters today want flexibility. This bill should die.

Justin is a volunteer fireman. I think in doing this story that was the biggest surprise of all. Bobby says Justin loves his position and is ready to go any time. One day when he was at church, the fire alarm went off, so he gathered up his gear and out the front door he went. The fire truck picked him up as it went by. What a testimony. No matter what our jobs may be, we all should have a willing and ready heart like this. One of the reasons I decided to write this story was because of the relationship I saw between a son and his dad. Since I’ve only known them for a little over a year, I didn’t know any of the earlier history. All I saw was a father and a son who not only loved each other, but also loved their church. It’s obvious Justin has found his place in this world through watching Bobby. Just like his dad, he wants to help people. His Nana Safrit comments that usually it’s Justin who carries her oxygen when she gets in and out of the car on Sundays. Even though I now know the struggles they have faced through the years, and probably will face in the future, at the end of the day, what I see and what many others see, is a father and a son who not only enjoy life, but have a tremendous love for God, family, and their church. We all would consider our lives blessed if we could say the same. • • • Dicy McCullough of Salisbury is the author of the children’s book, “Tired of My Bath.”

Zimbabwe abandoned its currency altogether. Business is now done in U.S. dollars, South African rands and British pounds. Collectors and dealers began buying up the $100 trillion notes and the unlikely happened: Uncirculated dollars, the kind collectors value most, are hard to come by. Even more unthinkable, considering how worthless the money was, there are rumors it’s being counterfeited. The Journal cites estimates that the Mugabe government printed somewhere between 5 million and 7 million of the $100 trillion bills, but that only a few million were released. That means Zimbabwe’s financial wizards, having wiped out the value of their currency as actual money, now have it within their power to wipe out its value as a novelty item, too.

McCain says torture didn’t help bring down bin Laden
Facebook tries to hire PR firm to criticize Google’s practices
WASHINGTON (AP) — Waterboarding and other harsh interrogation techniques were not a factor in tracking down Osama bin Laden, a leading Republican senator insisted Thursday. Sen. John McCain, who spent 51⁄2 years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam, also rejected the argument that any form of torture is critical to U.S. success in the fight against terrorism. In an impassioned speech on the Senate floor, the Arizona Republican said former Attorney General Michael Mukasey and others who back those tactics were wrong to claim that waterboarding alQaida’s No. 3 leader, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, provided information that led to bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan. McCain spoke with an unrivaled record on the issue. He’s the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, the 2008 GOP presidential nominee who consistently challenged the Bush administration and Vice President Dick Cheney on the use of torture and a man who endured brutal treatment during the Vietnam War.
Bin Laden sent emails, just not from compound WASHINGTON (AP) — Despite having no Internet access in his hideout, Osama bin Laden was a prolific email writer who built a painstaking system that kept him one step ahead of the U.S. government’s best eavesdroppers. His methods, described in new detail to the Associated Press by a counterterrorism official and a second person briefed on the U.S. investigation, served him well and frustrated Western efforts to trace him through cyberspace. The arrangement allowed bin Laden to stay in touch worldwide without leaving any digital fingerprints behind. The people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity. Bin Laden’s system left behind an extensive archive of email exchanges. The trove of electronic records pulled out of his compound after he was killed last week is revealing thousands of messages and potentially hundreds of email addresses, the AP has learned.

Engineers consider opening Louisiana spillway
World Trade Center prismatic glass fails stress test
BUTTE LAROSE, La. (AP) — In the latest agonizing decision along the swollen Mississippi River, federal engineers are close to opening a massive spillway that would protect Baton Rouge and New Orleans but flood hundreds of thousands of acres in Louisiana. With that threat looming, some 25,000 people in an area known for small farms, fish camps, crawfish and a drawling French dialect are hurriedly packing their things and worrying that their homes and way of life might soon be drowned. People in this riverfront community gathered at their volunteer fire station to hear a man dressed in Army fatigues deliver an ominous flood forecast. Col. Ed Fleming warned that projections by the Army Corps of Engineers call for the station to be inundated by 15 feet of water.
Mary Tyler Moore to have surgery for brain tumor
MOORE
NEW YORK (AP) — A representative for Mary Tyler Moore says the veteran sitcom star will have surgery to remove a brain tumor. Spokeswoman Alla Plotkin says Moore’s doctors recommended the elective procedure after monitoring the tumor for some time. Plotkin did not say when the surgery would take place. It would remove a meningioma, a slow-growing tumor in the membranes that cover the brain. The 74-year-old Moore gained stardom as a modern suburban housewife on the 1960s comedy “The Dick Van Dyke Show.”
ANNEXATION FroM 1a tions to homes. The measure seeks to give citizens in areas facing annexation a more direct method to challenge a municipality’s plans. Anti-annexation advocates had sought changes for years, in particular the right to vote in an election to determine whether an annexation can proceed. In previous sessions, lawmakers declined to support such an idea. Many residents of unincorporated areas either don’t want to pay the taxes that come from living in a city or town or the municipal services. Republicans took control of both chambers of the Legislature last fall. The petition idea advanced in the bill was considered a sound compromise by sponsors. “This bill does allow a true voice for the citizens of North Carolina who may be impacted by an involuntary annexation,” said Rep. Nelson Dollar, R-Wake. The bill, which awaits a final vote Monday before it heads to the Senate, also addresses voluntary annexation with language making it easier for people in low-income areas to be brought into municipalities and receive services.
just to get the benefits that you have worked hard for, and I don’t feel like that’s right,” she said. “For the time I put into my job, I feel like I should be able to withdraw my benefits.” Brock said the bill isn’t meant as a punishment or burden, but rather as an opportunity to give back. He said people who are unemployed and eager to work don’t want to just sit at home, and the proposed bill encourages them to get out and do something until they find a job. They might even gain experience in a trade along the way. Brock acknowledged that people can do this by volunteering on their own, but he said a regular service program would do more to revitalize a community. “If you’re a prospective employer coming into town, and you see these improvements or see people working,” Brock said, “you’ll say, ‘Man, that’s a town with a strong work ethic. I want to hire
Man who shot Reagan gets more time out of ward WASHINGTON (AP) — The man who tried to assassinate President Ronald Reagan 30 years ago can make additional unsupervised visits to his mother’s house from the psychiatric hospital where he is committed, a judge has ruled. U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman said the actual number of visits John Hinckley Jr. will get is to be determined later. The decision was made during a teleconference involving lawyers for Hinckley, the hospital and the government.
The North Carolina League of Municipalities, which represents towns and cities, has said for years the current involuntary annexation rules work well but said it was open to changes. However, the league opposed any sort of referendum mechanism to block an annexation. The league didn’t actively oppose the bill because the group said the alternative might have been a statewide annexation moratorium that had been passed by the Senate earlier this year. Some legislators who opposed the package said it fails to give a voice to city residents who may back the annexation of adjoining land. Rep. Larry Brown, R-Forsyth, had co-sponsored another bill that included the use of a referendum to block an annexation. He voted against Thursday’s bill because he said the changes would actually result in municipalities seeking forced annexations over larger swaths of land. The annexations would be more complicated, he said, and it would be more difficult for landowners to accumulate enough signed petitions to reach the 60 percent threshold. “This bill has a lot of unintended consequences,” Brown said. “The citizens of the state of North Carolina are the ones that are going to suffer because of it.”

NEW YORK (AP) — The owners of the World Trade Center have nixed plans to cover the first 20 stories of its signature skyscraper with decorative glass after it broke in testing. The glass was expected to help 1 World Trade Center look more open at its windowless base after it was redesigned to become strong enough to withstand a truck bomb. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey had spent about $6 million on the custom-made prismatic glass panels for the 1,776foot skyscraper, which is slated to be the tallest in the U.S. when it is completed in late 2013. But the glass bowed and broke during off-site testing and the agency decided to replace it in late March. The change will not affect the project’s budget or schedule. But it scraps a design created to keep the windowless base of the redesigned tower from looking more like a bunker than an office.

Davis said Wednesday that he’s continuously looking for work, and he recently applied for six or seven jobs in one week and hasn’t heard back from any of the employers. Brock said the bill sponsors know it’s tough to lose a job — “nobody likes to go through that” — and that it takes time and effort to find a new one. “We’re not asking for a lot. It’s five hours, or less than half a day,” Brock said. “It’s a good way to give some work back to the community and help out.” The senator said he doesn’t like seeing unemployment insurance paid to people who were fired from their jobs for stealing or failing drug tests. The bill would at least require those people to give back to the community, along with those who don’t want to work, Brock said. The legislation does allow excused absence for personal illness or a family emergency, as long as the hours are made up the next week.

NEW YORK (AP) — The intense rivalry between Facebook and Google just got juicier. In a twist seemingly out of a Hollywood thriller, Facebook hired a prominent public relations firm to try to plant stories harshly criticizing Google’s privacy practices in leading news outlets. The efforts backfired when the firm approached a blogger who not only declined the assignment, but also went public with the offer. The latest Silicon Valley drama has also evoked chatter of smear campaigns and veiled secrets. It took the once-secret blogger known as Fake Steve Jobs to help sort it all out. One lesson: If you’re going to write an incriminating email, don’t. Pick up the phone instead. Here’s another: “If you are out there planting negative stories, you are feeding the conflict,” said Larry L. Smith, president of the Institute for Crisis Management, a public relations company. “When they get in a shoving match, whoever is perceived by the public to be the bully loses in the public eye.” Rather than getting news outlets to circulate stories about privacy problems facing Google, Facebook found itself having to answer questions about why it wanted to maintain secrecy. Facebook said it never authorized or intended to run any smear campaign against Google. Rather, the company said it hired Burson-Marsteller to prompt investigations into how a new Google service called Social Circle collects and uses data about people. In a statement, Facebook said it should have made it clear that it was behind the efforts. Burson-Marsteller said Facebook had requested that its identity remain secret “on the grounds that it was merely asking to bring publicly available information to light.” The firm said that violated its own policies, “and the assignment on those terms should have been declined.” Not that it was. Facebook’s efforts to stay anonymous — something that violates the terms of service for users of its site — began to unravel when Burson-Marsteller contacted blogger Christopher Soghoian, an Indiana University grad student well known in online privacy and security circles. The firm’s John Mercurio asked Soghoian if he wanted to write an item for “a top-tier media outlet” blasting Google for what Mercurio calls a “sweeping violation of user privacy.” Soghoian asked for the identity of the firm’s client, but Mercurio wouldn’t reveal it. Soghoian posted the email exchange. Burson-Marsteller, meanwhile, also pitched USA Today. Instead of running with the planted story, USA Today ran its own story. It took Newsweek tech editor Dan Lyons — previously known online as Fake Steve Jobs — to figure out who Burson-Marsteller’s mystery client was: Facebook.

Lawmakers challenge oil company CEOs on pricing WASHINGTON (AP) — The hearing was for verbally flogging oil company CEOs, and no senator bothered to pretend it was about making gasoline prices more affordable or helping the economy recover. Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch set the tone Thursday when he opened with a portrait of a dog sitting on a pony. Sen. Charles Schumer countered with a reference to a unicorn. Sen. Pat Roberts suggested a rhinoceros. It was a fit opening for a show where the oil executives served as props for politicians needing to show voters that they, too, are angry about $4 a gallon gasoline. “This is not going to change the price at the gas pump,” Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus admitted as he gaveled proceedings to a close. “I grant you,” the Montana Democrat added, “we’ve got to develop an energy policy in this country.” The hearing didn’t get Congress any closer to doing that.

Retired U.S. autoworker Demjanjuk convicted of deaths at Nazi camp MUNICH (AP) — A German court convicted retired U.S. autoworker John Demjanjuk on Thursday of taking part in the murder of tens of thousands of Jews as a Nazi death camp guard, breaking legal ground that could pave the way for prosecuting many low-level cogs in Hitler’s machinery of destruction. The 91-year-old Demjanjuk was sentenced to five years in prison on 28,060 counts of accessory to murder — one each for the number of people killed at the Sobibor death camp during the six months in 1943 when he was convicted of standing guard there. But Demjanjuk will spend

The case was considered groundbreaking beDEMJANJUK cause although scores of Nazi war criminals have been tried and convicted in Germany, in this case there was no evidence that Demjanjuk committed a specific crime.

Carson stuck with Cauble Luck BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
CHINA GROVE — Carson baseball coach Chris Cauble maintains his sense of humor as he examines an unfriendly 3A West playoff bracket. Cauble has led his Cougars into the playoffs for the fourth time in the school’s five years of existence. That’s the good news. The bad news? As is usually the case, Carson, which has never had a home playoff game, will be hitting the road to take on one of the heavyweights in the first round. “It’s the Cauble Luck,” jon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST Cauble said with a chuckle. Luke Thomas and East Rowan will resume defending the 3A NPC No. 3 seed Carson (15state title tonight against Rockingham Co. 8) opens the playoffs tonight
at red-hot Mount Pleasant (17-6), which has looked like the strongest team in the Rowan-Cabarrus ranks during the past few weeks. Coach Bryan Tyson’s Tigers swept three Rowan foes, including East, in the late-April Easter tournament at Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium before winning the SPC tournament championship to climb to the league’s No. 2 seed for the playoffs. “We had some injuries that lasted until about the middle of the year,” Tyson explained. “It’s just been the last few weeks that we’ve had everyone back in the lineup that should be in the lineup.” It’s not like Carson (15-8) can’t beat the talented Tigers
in a one-game scenario, but it’s still a tall order. “We’re definitely underdogs, maybe heavy underdogs,” Cauble said. “But we also feel like if we play good defense and pitch it well we’ll have a chance to win.” Cauble plans to send bulldog Josh Martin (4-2, 2.76 ERA) to the mound. Martin will be able to pitch because Catawba signee Gunnar Hogan, the No. 3 hitter, is back to play shortstop. Hogan, who missed four games with a partially torn muscle near his elbow, was cleared to play by doctors, and he passed Cauble’s own exam at Thursday’s practice.

Hornets taking 6-pack BY RYAN BISESI rbisesi@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — Despite Tuesday’s season-ending loss to Newton-Conover in the second round of the dual team playoffs, the opportunities for Salisbury’s tennis team to walk away with hardware this season are still in tact. In fact, much of the team will be making the trip to Cary among their kind, that being household names. But the Hornets have six of them. “They’re all names that you’ve heard of, watch this guy, watch that guy,” said Salisbury coach Chris Stroupe of the 2A Individual state tournament at Cary Tennis Center this weekend. “They’re four from the best of each region, so you know off the bat, it’s going to be tougher than usual.” After again winning the Central Carolina Conference and composing an 18-2 record, the Hornets are looking for vindication today and, they hope, tomorrow. Salisbury had six players qualify for the state final after last Saturday’s Midwest Regional at Catawba. Two singles players and a pair of doubles teams from Salisbury will begin play at 9 a.m. both today and Saturday. If rain is in the forecast, Stroupe says the matches will be moved to N.C. State or Duke. “If we can make it to Saturday, that’s our main goal,” said Seth Gentry, who will be paired with Alex Weant in doubles. “There’s going to be some really good doubles

Joel Brittain will represent West Rowan in the state tennis tournament, which starts today in Burlington.
Little Big Man West’s Brittain reaches his goal: making the state tournament BY RONNIE GALLAGHER rgallagher@salisburypost.com
MOUNT ULLA — Joel Brittain was playing tennis in Charlotte last Saturday, but his Marv Albert-like “Yes!” could have been heard in Mount Ulla. “I’m sure my family — and everyone else — could hear it,” Brittain grinned. Brittain, a senior at West Rowan, had just defeated Giorgi Beridez of
Parkwood 7-5, 6-4. It was his second regional win of the day, meaning he had qualified for the state tennis tournament. Brittain who stands about 5-foot-5 and weighs all of 120 pounds, was joining the big boys in Burlington. He begins play today. “ I know I can hang with anyone if I have a great day,” Brittain said Thursday. “I’ll have to play my ‘A’ game.”
His ‘A’ game consists of running his opponents all over the court, according to West Rowan coach Jonathan Brown. “Consistency is what got Joel as far as he has,” said Brown, who began coaching the Falcons during Brittain’s freshman year. Back then, not much was expected from West Rowan tennis. Brown played mostly freshmen and sophomores.
Bulls eliminate Hawks, advance
“I knew they’d be good,” Brown said. “Other coaches said the same thing.” Brown realized Brittain loved the sport but size was an factor. He pointed to a team photo on his office wall where Brittain looked like he was in the fifth grade. Four seasons, and 45 victories later, West is considered a force in the NPC. In this year’s photo,

ATLANTA — Derrick Rose simBulls 93 ply had to the Hawks 73 run show. The MVP had plenty of help in this one, and the Chicago Bulls are off to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since M.J. was at the controls. Carlos Boozer scored 23 points and Rose doled out 12 assists, pushing Chicago out to a big lead in the first half that carried the Bulls past Atlanta 93-73 in the Eastern Conference semifinals Thurs-
day night. They finished off the Hawks in six games. Chicago advanced to its first conference final since 1998, when Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were on their way to a second threepeat. The Bulls fell on hard times after that glorious era, including three straight 60loss seasons, but they have put together a deep, talented team that won more games than anyone during the regular season. Yep, even more than the ballyhooed Miami Heat, whose Big Three are waiting

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Tiger Woods limped off the golf course and into an uncertain future. His return at The Players Championship from what he had described as a “minor injury” lasted only nine holes Thursday. Woods withdrew because of pain in his left knee and Achilles, but not before taking 42 shots for his worst nine-hole score on the TPC Sawgrass course. “I’m having a hard time walking,” he said. Woods flexed his left knee after hitting tee shots. He took baby steps to climb out
of a bunker. He walked with a golf club for support, lagging a football field behind his playing partners with a noticeable limp. His quickest steps were to catch up to Martin Kaymer on the way to the 10th tee to tell him he was done. Before driving off in a white Mercedes, Woods ducked into a fitness trailer with a sign painted on the side that said, “Is knee pain holding you back?” The more relevant question is where Woods goes from here. The crisis in his personal life that led to divorce last

Mustangs ready BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
GRANITE QUARRY — Defending 3A champion East Rowan opens the playoffs tonight at home against a Rockingham County team that is still mostly a mystery to East coach Brian Hightower. If you’ve got a scouting report, give him a call. “I don’t know anything at all except they’re 12-13, and they’ve given up more runs than they’ve scored,” Hightower said. Hightower knows more about his own bunch. East (18-7) is ranked seventh in 3A, although the Mustangs have experienced more ups and downs than usual on their way to NPC regular season and tournament championships. The playoffs are what matter most, though. The playoffs are what people remember, and East is capable of another long run. “I really like where our guys are right now,” Hightower said. “It’s a loose bunch, a very relaxed bunch, but I think they all want to do something great in the playoffs just as ROBBINS much as I do. I think they’ll bring more focus to the playoffs than what we’ve seen at times in the regular season.” Hightower’s horse Bradley Robbins (9-0, 1.19 ERA, 76 strikeouts) will pitch tonight. “I’m always going to pitch my best pitcher in the first round,” Hightower said. “If everything goes well for us Friday, then that gives us Justin Morris, Will Johnson and maybe Bradley for an inning in the second round.” Robbins only struck out one in his most recent outing — the NPC tournament championship game against West Iredell, but Hightower wasn’t concerned about that. “West Iredell doesn’t strike out much against anybody,” he said. “They swing at a lot of first pitches, and they make a lot of contact.” The return to health of Wesley LeRoy helps the Mustangs. He’s a fine right fielder and gives the Mustangs another guy who can run. Outstanding season: Catcher Luke Thomas, headed to Wingate, is batting .423 with 27 RBIs. Unsung hero: While he’s had to overcome a really slow start, center fielder Will Sapp has scored a team-high 34 runs and has his batting average up to .345. His defense has been unbelievable all along. South Rowan at Charlotte Catholic (3A) This game’s being played at Jack Hughes Memorial Park in Pineville. South won a first-round road shocker last season when it prevailed 7-5 at Weddington and would like a repeat performance. Catholic eliminated Carson in a second-rounder last season, and the winner of this game gets to play the
Carson-Mount Pleasant winner. Outstanding season: Two-way player Matt Miller is one of the county’s top juniors. He’s 4-3 on the mound with four homers and 21 runs and is the likely starting pitcher tonight. MILLER Unsung hero: No. 2 hurler Preston Penninger leads the Raiders with 19 RBIs in only 59 at-bats. Chatham Central at North Rowan (1A) North Rowan has already battered Chatham Central 13-6 and 12-2 in YVC regular season games, but the league’s seventh-place team made the playoffs as a wild card. North appears to be the only 1A team to have registered 20 wins so far this season and is ranked fourth in 1A. The Cavaliers are batting .376 as a team. Outstanding season: Left fielder Matt Mauldin is batting an BARKER eye-popping .551 with 38 RBIs. Unsung hero: Wes Barker has scored a county-leading 43 runs. Piedmont at Salisbury (2A) Salisbury earned a home game by winning the CCC tournament. Piedmont, from the Monroe area, is a No. 3 seed but it was No. 3 in the Rocky River Conference, arguably the state’s best 2A league. Cuthbertson, ranked No. 1 in 2A, and West Stanly, ranked fourth, are also representing the Rocky River in the playoffs. Elwood, Brad headed to join the Charlotte 49ers, is a player to watch for VAN DER POEL coach Milt Flow’s Panthers. Outstanding season: SHS senior Philip Tonseth is batting .436 with three homers and 33 RBIs and is 5-3 on the mound. Unsung hero: Left fielder Scott Van der Poel is batting a team-best .446. Butler at Davie (4A) Ranked sixth in 4A, Davie may still be underrated. The War Eagles are batting .359 as a team with 24 homers, and the pitching is really deep. Outstanding seasons: Just to name a few: shortstop Carson Herndon (.470, 30 RBIs), first baseman Corey Randall (eight NEWMAN homers, .429), center fielder Alex Newman (.393, 18 steals) and hurler Ryan Foster (8-1, 1.20 ERA).

BULLS FROM 1B in the next round, with a spot in the NBA Final on the line. Game 1 is Sunday in Chicago. Rose was right in the middle of things, of course. He scored 19 points in addition to setting up all those baskets, but this was a textbook performance by the guys around him, each of them comfortable in a supporting role, each of them willing to do the dirty work at the defensive end. The most impressive number: Chicago had assists on all but seven of its 31 baskets. Or, come to think of it, maybe it was this stat: The Hawks shot just 37 percent (27 of 74) and rarely got an open look. That wasn’t the case for Boozer. He kept winding up with the ball with no one around, and kept knocking down jump shots. He went 10of-16 from the field, grabbed 10 rebounds and handed out five assists.

TIGER FROM 1B
BASEBALL FROM 1B “Gunnar made the throw across the diamond and he made the off-balance throw charging in,” Cauble said. “He’s ready. Those four or five days when he couldn’t swing made him hungry.” The standout for Carson has been catcher Joseph Basinger (five homers, 28 RBIs, .390). The unsung hero has been second baseman Kyle Youngo (.328, 27 runs, great defense). The wild card in tonight’s playoff game could be outfielder Tripp Cross, who emerged from a slump to crush two doubles in Cason’s most recent outing, which was way back on May 2. “It’s what have-you-done-lately time now,” Cauble said. “He’ll be in there.” Tyson and Cauble have squared off often before, notably when they were SPC rivals a decade ago. Cauble was coaching a West Rowan program that was on the rise, while Tyson was coaching a Central Cabarrus squad that was
one of the league’s established powerhouses. Tyson has two premium options as far as tonight’s starting pitcher. Both are right-handers. Catawba signee Anthony Allende and North Carolina signee Grayson Atwood are 1A and 1B as far as Tyson is concerned. “Atwood’s probably gonna be a third baseman or a first baseman or maybe even a corner outfielder when he gets to UNC,” Tyson said. “But he knew we’d be counting on him to pitch some this year, and he’s kinda gotten the pitching bug. I’d still call him a project pitching-wise, but he can run it up there upper 80s and stays around 85. He’s got a fresh arm, with a lot of upside. He could wind up being like that (Bobby) Parnell rascal over your way.” Atwood, who pitched well in a playoff game at East Rowan last season, is 6-foot-4, 205 pounds and certainly looks like a Division I player is supposed to look when he pulls on a uniform. “He’s got six homers and is batting around .400,” Tyson said. “And that’s with not a lot of people giving him any-
thing to hit.” Allende had an injured wrist, which is one reason the Tigers struggled in March. Adding his bat to the middle of the lineup made a difference. Allende was 6-for-10 vs. Rowan squads in the Fieldcrest Cannon tournament. Yet another star for Mount Pleasant is shortstop Brandon Burris, an Appalachian State signee who was 7-for13 in the Fieldcrest tournament. “He’s a scrapper and a field rat,” Tyson said of Burris. “I’ll be real surprised if he doesn’t start at second base for Appalachian.” In a 1A game tonight, North Rowan is a hefty favorite at home against YVC foe Chatham Central. In 3A, seventhranked East Rowan will be favored to win at home against Rockingham, a No. 5 seed, while South Rowan travels to Pineville to challenge Charlotte Catholic. In 2A, Salisbury is an underdog at home against Piedmont. In 4A, sixth-ranked Davie is home against Matthews Butler. Games are at 7 p.m. See Page 2B for all the West pairings and info on the other playoff games.
summer no longer appears to be the biggest obstacle in regaining his golf game or pursuing Jack Nicklaus’ record 18 majors. It’s his health. Woods already has gone through four surgeries on his left knee. Now he has an Achilles problem, too. He has gone 18 months since his last win, three years without adding to his 14 majors, and he has no idea when he will be fit enough to compete again. It started on the first hole, a 3-wood that “just didn’t feel good” and sailed well to the left into the pine trees. His left foot slipped on the pine straw — similar to the shot on the 17th hole at Augusta National in the third round that caused this latest injury — and he wound up on the side of a mound short of the
Luol Deng hit some big baskets early and finished with 13 points. Joakim Noah scored 11 and stifled the Hawks with three blocks. Omer Asik chipped in with two swats of his own. Keith Bogans made only one basket, but it was a big 3-pointer as the Bulls put it away in the third quarter. And, boy, did everyone play some defense. Atlanta had hoped to extend the series to a Game 7, feeling the pressure would be squarely on the Bulls if it came down to a winner-takeall. But Chicago squashed those hopes right from the opening tip. The Bulls never trailed, and the lead was 10 by the end of the first quarter. The Hawks had been in that position before. They fell behind by 15 in Game 5, then fought back to lead early in the fourth quarter. Chicago dominated down the stretch for a 13-point win, but the Bulls weren’t about to cut it that close again.
green, another awkward stance. “The knee acted up, and then the Achilles followed after that, and then the calf started cramping up,” Woods said. “Everything started getting tight, so it’s just a whole chain reaction.” Asked if he should have walked off the course earlier, Woods replied, “Probably.” He stopped on the seventh hole of the fourth round at The Players last year with what turned out to be a minor neck injury. This time he made it only to the ninth hole of the first round. From the fairway, he blasted a 5-wood so far over the green that it landed beyond a bunker, under a tree. He flubbed his chip into the bunker, blasted out to 25 feet and made another bogey. “Tiger looked like he was in pain today,” said Matt Kuchar, the third in their group. “You could tell he was walking quite slowly, quite gingerly.”

He had a chance to study Beridez in his firstround match. “I knew I had to move him around and stay aggressive,” Brittain said. Brittain was too close to falter.

back that carried over to this week. “It’s good to get recognition around school where tennis isn’t used to getting much,” Brittain said. Brittain also smiles about getting to play the same weekend as the Salisbury Hornets, who are taking six to the state tournament. “I lived closer to the city up and I had my friends and they had theirs,” Brittain said. “We were playing at a young age.” Brown is as happy as anyone. “I don’t think West has had anyone in the states in at least 20 years,” he said. Now, West’s little man is on the big stage. You’ll know it, too, if Brittain wins. Just listen for a loud, “Yes!”

Detroit furiously pushed for the tying goal in the frantic final minutes, but couldn’t beat Niemi again — even after getting a late power-play chance. The much-maligned Marleau, who was called “gutless” by former teammate Jeremy Roenick after Game 5, gave the Sharks the breathing room they had been desperately seeking when he poked a rebound of Setoguchi’s shot into an empty net behind Jimmy Howard to give San Jose a 3-1 lead. But as tough as it was to eliminate the Red Wings in
the series, it was just that hard to close out this game. Datsyuk beat Niemi with a great individual effort to make it a one-goal game with 6:01 remaining. The Sharks had to kill off a power play, when Torrey Mitchell was called for slashing with 5:03 left, to preserve the lead. Niemi then made a stop on a tricky shot by Datsyuk in the final minute. After a scramble in front of the net, Marleau got the final clear in the closing seconds, sending the fans into delirium and giving the Sharks their first sense of relief as the clock ran out.
Watney makes up for missing cut Associated Press
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Phil Mickelson hit a shot onto the green and it rolled into the water. Ben Crane hit a shot over an island and it wound up on dry land. Tiger Woods played the shortest tournament of his career. Even on a relatively calm day, there’s no predicting what might happen at The P l a y e r s Championship. T h e strangest sight of all WATNEY Thursday was Woods, limping off the ninth green and heading to the parking lot, but not before making a detour to a fitness trailer with a sign painted on the side that said, “Is knee pain holding you back?” Nine holes into this first tournament since the Masters — where Woods said he had a “minor injury” to his left knee and Achilles — he couldn’t go on. He withdrew after a 42 on the front nine, his highest 9hole score ever at the TPC Sawgrass. “I’m having a hard time walking,” he said. Nick Watney and so many others made it look easy, even though it rarely is on this crazy course. One week after he missed the cut for the first time in nearly a year, Watney opened with an 8-under 64 for a oneshot lead over Lucas Glover. Not only was it Watney’s best score at Sawgrass by four shots, he had a double bogey
early in his round. “Last week in Charlotte, I got off to a bad start and I never really righted the ship,” Watney said. “So today to have a bad hole like that and still play a good round is a rewarding feeling, just because I didn’t let it affect the rest of my day.” Glover atop the leaderboard was not unusual, not after he won last week at the Wells Fargo Championship to end a twoyear drought since his U.S. Open title. He played the par5 16th and the par-3 17th in eight shots, but not the way he would have thought. He hit into the water on the 16th to make bogey on the easiest hole at Sawgrass, then knocked in a 20-foot birdie on the islandgreen 17th. There were plenty of other surprises. Mark O’Meara, the 54-yearold who qualified for this prestigious event by winning the Senior Players Championship, returned to Sawgrass for the first time since 2003 and opened with a 66. The last time O’Meara had a score that low on this course, Woods was still in high school. He’s not very long off the tee, but this is one golf course that is not all about length. “Even when I went to dinner with Tiger last night, my wife Meredith said, ‘How’s Mark hitting it?’ He says, ‘Short.’ OK, yeah, I’m not 32 and strong,” O’Meara said. “But I hit it far enough.” Davis Toms also had a 66, and he managed to do that without a single bogey on his card. PGA champion Martin Kaymer, who can return to No. 1 in the world by winning or
finishing alone in second this week, opened with a 67 along with U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell and Rory Sabbatini. Kaymer was witness to the biggest news of the day. He was in the group with Matt Kuchar and Woods, although it became a twosome on the back nine when Woods left. “Nobody really knows how much pain he was in,” Kaymer said. “He was walking really slowly. He was walking behind us. But I didn’t know that it was because of pain or I just thought that he walks a little slower than me.” Crane shot a 68, a round highlighted because of a bogey. On the infamous islandgreen 17th, Crane caught a gust of wind as the ball was in flight and it took over the green. But the ball landed on the back of the wooden frame and bounced so far that it cleared the water and landed among the spectators. He then faced a scary pitch back to the island and hit the bulkhead in about the same spot, the ball rolling to the front of the green. He two-putted from 50 feet for his bogey, which could have been much worse. “A crazy day, a crazy game,” Crane said. Mickelson might have chosen a different word. He saw his tee shot land on the front corner of the green at No. 13, then begin rolling toward the bottom shelf until it dropped over the ledge. “I didn’t know it could possibly go in the water,” Mickelson said after a 71.
Fiesta Bowl fined, kept by BCS Associated Press
WASHINGTON — At the cost of a $1 million fine, the Fiesta Bowl will keep its place in the Bowl Championship Series. The BCS presidential oversight committee imposed the penalty in the wake of a scandal at the Arizona-based game that included apparently illegal campaign contributions from staff and lavish spending by the former CEO on parties and a night at a strip club. Under the ruling, the Fiesta Bowl must also meet certain BCS demands such as strengthening the Fiesta Bowl’s board and imposing greater supervision over bowl executives.
SOCCER GENEVA — Facing a deepening corruption scandal, FIFA demanded evidence to back up English claims that six executive committee members were involved in
bribery during bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. FIFA President Sepp Blatter, meanwhile, promised to resolve the crisis before he comes up for re-election on June 1. Blatter is seeking a fourth and final four-year term against Qatari challenger Mohamed bin Hammam, who was a central figure in his country’s victorious — and controversial — bid to host the 2022 World Cup.
NCAA HOOPS AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas coach Rick Barnes has received a $200,000 raise that boosts his pay to $2.4 million each season. The University of Texas System Board of Regents approved the pay hike in a motion that recognized Barnes for his “commitment, motivation and performance” and the desire to keep him coaching the Longhorns. Barnes will be entering his 14th season at Texas. He has
taken the Longhorns to the NCAA tournament each season but hasn’t advanced past the second round in four of the last five years. • SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Robert Traylor, the former NBA and University of Michigan big man nicknamed “Tractor” because of his hulking frame, has died. He was 34. Described as a “gentle giant” with a generous smile, Traylor played seven years in the NBA. He is perhaps most remembered, however, for his career at Michigan, where he was a standout for three seasons but became embroiled in a major scandal involving a booster. Police in San Juan said Traylor was found dead on the bedroom floor of his oceanfront apartment. Police and Traylor’s team, the Bayamon Cowboys, said he had been missing for a few days and apparently died from a heart attack.
The NL roundup ... DENVER — Carlos Beltran hit a careerhigh three homers and drove in six runs to help the New York Mets beat Ubaldo Jimenez and the Colorado Rockies 9-5 on Thursday in a game delayed more than two hours by rain. Beltran homered from both sides of the plate and reached all parts of the ballpark with his three two-run homers: straightaway center in the first, deep left in the seventh and into the right-field seats in the ninth. The switch-hitting outfielder became the eighth Mets player to hit three in a game, and first since Jose Reyes on Aug. 15, 2006, at Philadelphia. Reyes hit a two-run single in the fourth that chased Jimenez (0-3) and kept the Rockies’ ace searching for his elusive first win of the season. He lasted just 3 2-3 innings in his shortest stint of the season, surrendering five runs and three hits while walking six. With San Francisco beating Arizona earlier in the day, Colorado fell out of at least a tie for the lead in the NL West for the first time since April 5. The Rockies have now dropped six of their last seven contests, including two of three against the Mets, a team they swept in a four-game series at Citi Field last month. Braves 6, Nationals 5, 10 innings ATLANTA — Martin Prado hit a tying grand slam in the seventh inning, then scored the winning run on Brian McCann’s single to right field in the 10th for Atlanta.
Doug Slaten (0-1) walked Prado to open the 10th inning, and Prado advanced to second on Nate McLouth’s sacrifice bunt. Slaten intentionally walked Chipper Jones — who hit his fourth homer in the third inning — and McCann delivered the winning hit. Braves players rushed out of the dugout to join him as soon as he rounded first base. Craig Kimbrel (1-1), who blew his third save in the Braves’ 7-3 loss to Washington in 11 innings on Wednesday night, struck out the side in the 10th to earn the victory. Cardinals 9, Cubs 1 CHICAGO — Unbeaten Jaime Garcia pitched seven effective innings and Matt Holliday homered to start an early burst in St. Louis’ victory over Chicago. Garcia (5-0), who carried a perfect game into the eighth in his previous start against Milwaukee, allowed one run and nine hits. He complemented his 84-pitch outing by hitting an RBI single. St. Louis finished with 16 hits and took two of three in the series without manager Tony La Russa, who is back in St. Louis recovering from shingles. Giants 3, Diamondbacks 2 SAN FRANCISCO — Matt Cain had his best outing in nearly a month, Nate Schierholtz added three hits to help San Francisco beat Arizona to complete a perfect homestand. Eli Whiteside doubled twice to help the Giants go 6-0 at home. They swept Colorado and then Arizona to extend their season-high winning streak to six games. Gerardo Parra, Xavier Nady and Justin Upton had two hits apiece for Arizona, which has lost four straight.
O’s complete sweep of Mariners Associated Press
The AL roundup ... BALTIMORE — J.J. Hardy singled in two runs in the 12th inning, and the Baltimore Orioles rallied to beat the Seattle Mariners 2-1 on Thursday night for a three-game sweep. After Seattle scored in the top half of the 12th, the Orioles bounced back in the bottom half against Brandon League (0-3). Derrek Lee hit a leadoff single, and League hit Vladimir Guerrero and Adam Jones with pitches to load the bases with no outs. Matt Wieters hit a liner that shortstop Luis Rodriguez snagged, but Hardy followed with a bouncer up the middle that scored Lee and pinch-runner Jake Fox.
Royals 11, Yankees 5 NEW YORK — Eric Hosmer and Melky Cabrera homered and Kansas City beat New York, sending the Yankees to their first home series loss of the season. New York’s Robinson Cano homered a day after he was hit in the head with a pitch, and Alex Rodriguez homered for the first time in 65 at-bats. Rays 7, Indians 4 CLEVELAND — James Shields pitched seven strong innings to finally beat Cleveland, and Tampa Bay did some more road repair to their record with a victory over the Indians. Tampa Bay has won 10 of 11 on the road and owns the majors’ best mark away from home at 13-5.
Earnhardt with one more chance Associated Press
CONCORD — Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s losing streak has reached 103 races — long enough that he’s no longer guaranteed an automatic berth in the upcoming $1 million All-Star event. His last shot to qualify ahead of the May 21 race comes Sunday at Dover International Speedway, where a victory would be his first since 2008 and earn him a coveted spot in the Sprint All-Star race. But Earnhardt doesn’t see a win in his near future despite steady improvement through the first 10 races of this season. “I don’t feel a win is close,” Earnhardt said this week as he promoted the new HD video screen at Charlotte Motor Speedway. “But they’ll come if you continue to run competitive. I don’t know where the win is going to come or if and when it will come, but we’re just going to keep working really hard and putting ourselves in position, those opportunities should be there.” Earnhardt is still approaching the next few weeks as if he needs a victory. He still has two shots at making the All-Star race even if he doesn’t win at Dover: Earnhardt can move into the main event with a victory in the 40-lap Sprint Showdown, the last-chance race held right before the main event. And if he falls short there, the eight-time winner of NASCAR’s most popular driver award will most certainly pick up the final AllStar race berth, reserved for the winner of the fan vote. But Earnhardt refuses to operate as if the fan vote is a given — even though his inclusion in the field is the likely reason the pace is well on track to break the record of 1.5 million votes cast last year. “I don’t take it for granted that we’ll get the fan vote. Anything can happen,” he said. “The most important thing is just focusing on the points races, the races that matter toward the championship. When we get to AllStar weekend, however things are lined up is how
things are lined up. It will be interesting being on the other side of the fence, trying to find a way into the race and going through that experience myself personally, to have an appreciation for what that is like versus just showing up and being locked in. “It could be interesting and good for me to have that experience as well.” Earnhardt goes to Dover confident he and his No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports are over last weekend’s pit-road mistake at Darlington. Earnhardt received a pass-through penalty for hitting the cone at the edge of the pit road commitment line, and he called a team meeting immediately after the race to talk about his mistake with his crew. The penalty ruined what could have been a top-10 finish, but Earnhardt did rally to finish 14th. “I wanted to tell those guys that my focus was strong. (The mistake) wasn’t because of a lack of focus or a lack of concentration,” he said. “I was just trying to get a little bit too much and I’ll try to minimize mistakes going forward.” Earnhardt said he didn’t wait until this week, or until he got to Dover, to address the issue with his team because he wanted to show right away how much he cared about the error. “That way nobody goes home wondering how anyone is thinking. They know how I
SMITTY'S NORTH ROWAN BAR-B-QUE
feel, and I know how they feel,” he said. “It was just a good way to put it behind us as quick as we could.” Earnhardt also praised crew chief Steve Letarte and his team for their energy and focus, and for building him cars that have helped him to his fourth-place position in the Sprint Cup standings. He’s had two top-five finishes, and five top-10s through 10 races. But he knows once the schedule runs through Charlotte next week — the All-Star race is followed by the CocaCola 600 — Earnhardt has a hard stretch ahead. He’ll go to Pocono and the road course in Sonoma, where he has a shaky history, as well as a stop at Michigan, site of his last Cup win. He’s already admitted the summer stretch will be a test for his team. “It’s always really tough because it’s hot and there are some tracks in there that I’m inconsistent at,” he said. “It’s already a high-pressure situation just being in the sport alone.” He won’t freak out, though, if his performance drops a bit. “If we struggle a little bit going to Pocono the first round, I won’t be too worried,” he said. “It may take a year for me and (Letarte) to start to really hit it at a few race tracks. We’ve been to every track this year and been a top-10 car and that might not happen. I feel like it will over time.”

The NHL roundup ... SAN JOSE, Calif. — Patrick Marleau got his first point of the series when he knocked home a rebound with 7:47 to play and the San Jose Sharks finally managed to knock out the Detroit Red Wings on their fourth try with a 3-2 victory Thursday night in Game 7 of their Western Conference semifinal series. Devin Setoguchi and Logan Couture scored in the first period and Antti Niemi made 38 saves for the Sharks, who had lost three straight potential clinching games before eliminating the Red Wings for the second straight year in the second round. San Jose avoided becoming the fourth NHL team to lose a series after winning the first three games. A franchise known for its playoff flops avoided a colossal one and now heads into its second straight Western Conference final. That series begins Sunday in Vancouver. Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg scored for the Red Wings, who fought

Friday, May 13 When unexpected pleasant developments occur in the near future, do not let them sweep you off your feet. Focus on them one at a time, and only when you’re prepared to develop them to their fullest. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Things could tend to irritate you, and because of this it isn’t likely that you will work well under pressure. If at all possible, try to stay a few jumps ahead of your duties. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — If you get involved in a business matter with a friend, chances are that working together won’t be anything like you thought. What occurs could put your relationship in jeopardy. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Keep your cool if certain demands placed on you are severe and unreasonable. Everything can be handled successfully when you have control of yourself and what’s at hand. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — A failure on your part to pay attention to details could quickly get you into trouble. Remember, it’s always some small, insignificant detail that everyone ignores that causes all the trouble. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you have been noticing that a joint endeavor in which you’re involved is showing very little signs of success, it might be time to consider easing yourself out of the arrangement. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — The only thing that being too self-serving and headstrong will do is make life extremely unpleasant for you and those around you. It won’t gain you any kind of advantage. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Properly preparing yourself will help you perform better than if you were to just wing it. Control events instead of letting them control you. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Stay away from activities with friends that involve expenses that you can’t meet. Call some pals who are in your shoes and are happy to participate in something inexpensive. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — If everyone in the family is at odds with one another, including you, try to go off by yourself in order to put things in proper perspective. Once you do, you can pull things together, without falling apart. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You know it is best not to prematurely try to launch something that still has lots of wrinkles to be ironed out. If you do anyway, and it fails, you might not get a second chance. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — A “what’s in it for me” attitude will get you nowhere fast. If friends or associates think you’re only looking out for yourself, they will quickly learn to avoid you. Aries (March 21-April 19) — When negotiating with someone who looks like she or he is holding all the cards, you should take a break to review the situation. If need be, call in an expert to handle the matter for you. Know where to look for romance and you’ll find it. The Astro-Graph Matchmaker instantly reveals which signs are romantically perfect for you. Mail $3 to Astro-Graph, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. United FeatUre Syndicate

Conflicting advice over treating tumor Two chances are better than one into this category, so specific attention to proper dosing must be adhered to. The best-case scenario is for you to meet with both physicians at the same time, perhaps through a conference call in one office or the other, so both specialists can work together with you to determine whether you are well enough to undergo surgery or whether a trial of the Arimidex is more appropriate. Unfortunately, without knowing all the details and without having access to your complete medical history, I cannot make any recommendations. Good luck. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online. His website is www.AskDrGottMD.com.
Fran Lebowitz said, “I’ve done the calculation and your chances of winning the lottery are identical whether you play or not.” That is nearly correct. And if you buy two lotto tickets, you will double that microscopic chance. At the bridge table, though, two chances to make your contract are definitely preferable to one. In this deal, what are your two chances? You are in three no-trump. West leads the diamond jack, East plays the king, and you win with your ace. How would you continue? Opening two clubs and rebidding three no-trump shows a balanced hand with 25-27 points. North
wondered if you also had four spades, but he could not risk getting to four no-trump if a 4-4 spade fit did not exist. You have eight top tricks: three spades, two hearts, two diamonds (given the opening
lead) and one club. It looks obvious to play on clubs for the ninth winner. And the best play is to cash the ace. If an honor appears, you will know how to continue. But if you collect only the two and eight, you play a heart to dummy’s king and lead a low club toward your hand. You will play the suit for the loss of only one trick nearly 83 percent of the time. However, do not overlook the second chance — a 3-3 spade break. After the club ace does not drop an honor, play off your three spade winners. If spades split 3-3, perfect; you cash the spade eight when on the board with the heart king. Your chance has increased to almost 89 percent.

Chesney’s concert fees for tornado relief NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Country superstar Kenny Chesney is turning his May 25th tour stop in Tuscaloosa, Ala., into a benefit concert. Chesney, along with his management and booking agents, are donating all of their fees to the tornado-ravaged town that is home to the University of Alabama. The massive storm system that swept through the South two weeks ago killed more than 300 people in sev-

en states. At least 41 were in Tuscaloosa. The April 27 tornado outbreak destroyed entire neighborhoods and left the city struggling to recover. Chesney considered postponing the concert, but the mayor convinced him that the show would be a positive step forward for the community. The funds will go to GiveTuscaloosa.com and will be funneled to local charities and social services.

Dear Reader: I completely understand where each physician is DR. PETER coming from GOTT and why you have received two conflicting recommendations. Let’s address the issue of your breast tumor first. Because your doctor (I am assuming an oncologist) wants to perform a mastectomy, he has apparently determined that you have a malignant tumor. Unfortunately, you did not indicate what testing was performed in order for your doctor to make the diagnosis. Was it by palpation only, through mammography, ultrasound or MRI? Was a stereotactic biopsy performed? Is the tumor invasive or noninvasive? Invasive implies the disease has spread to surrounding tissue. Noninvasive implies the disease is confined to the lining of the milk ducts (breast cancer) or the lobules (precan-
cerous). Has he or she been informed you have carotid-artery disease? My guess is that you are also seeing a cardiologist who feels a more conservative approach in your case might be more beneficial. Because of your age and medical history, he or she has likely determined there are other factors that enter the big picture supporting this approach. The Arimidex he is suggesting is designed to treat breast cancer as well as slow estrogen levels in postmenopausal woman. This, in turn, may slow the growth of specific types of tumors that require estrogen in order to grow. Patients with a history of heart disease, circulatory problems, severe liver disease, history of stroke or blood clot, and those who have not completely gone through menopause might require testing or dosing adjustments before beginning the medication. You certainly fall

Dear Dr. Gott: I’m 88 years old and have developed a breast tumor. One doctor wants to do a mastectomy, but another who knows I have carotid-artery disease and is treating me for it advises not to have the surgery but to take Arimidex to try to shrink the tumor. I value your answer because I read your articles constantly. I feel confused but am an active person who still drives, cooks, and takes care of myself. I’ll wait for a reply in the paper. Thank you.

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER Unfortunately, more storms are in route for the Mississippi River for Friday the 13th. A low pressure system making its way through the Plains has created a cold front that extends southward. As the low pressure system moves eastward over the Midwest and toward New England, it will push the front over the Mississippi River Valley and up the Ohio River Valley. The leading edge of this system will pull ample moisture in from the Gulf of Mexico, which will create favorable conditions for thunderstorm activity. Many of these storms will turn sever with periods of heavy downpours, large hail, strong winds, and even tornadoes. Rainfall totals between 1 to 2 inches are likely across the Mid- and Lower Mississippi River Valley, while up to 3 inches are possible in areas of severe storm development. This will cause additional issues across the already swollen Mississippi River Valley. Behind this system, a ridge of high pressure will build into the Plains and allow for a break in wet weather. Expect sunny skies to return to the Dakotas, with highs in the lower 60s, while the Southern Plains will remain in the 80s. Strong afternoon winds will create dangerous fire weather conditions across western Texas. Out West, a ridge of high pressure over the West Coast brings another dry day to the region, before another low pressure system approaches from the Pacific Ocean.
