Commissioners discuss role in recruiting new businesses BY KARISSA MINN

kminn@salisburypost.com

The Rowan County Board of Commissioners re-affirmed its support of the Economic Development Commission’s role in business recruitment during its meeting Monday. Commissioner Tina Hall asked that the board take action after recent e-mails raised questions about business recruitment procedures and the Open Meetings Law. “I got a letter of request for a written endorsement of the commission-

ers from a prospective new business,” said Commissioner Tina Hall. “I would like to see us reiterate that it’s the Economic Development Commission that handles requests from businesses... and that they’re the ones that will be giving information about the investment grant program.... At that point, if a business follows through, it then comes before the county commission.” Hall’s motion to reaffirm those statements passed 4-1, with Commissioner Raymond Coltrain opposing. On Sunday, March 21, Donald

Rand sent an e-mail to Coltrain and Commissioner Jon Barber asking for a “nonbinding letter of support” for his efforts to bring a proposed Spencer Motorsports Park to High Rock Properties. Coltrain drafted a letter and sent it along to all of the commissioners, as well as EDC director Robert Van Geons, the county manager and the county clerk. The letter, to be individually signed by commissioners, stated that the signatories encourage business development in Rowan County and

believe that the particular business would add significant value to the community. Hall responded that it sounded like a good idea, but she felt more comfortable discussing the item at the next commission meeting to “avoid any appearance of skirting the Open Meetings Law.” Van Geons responded that a public discussion of the project could impact ongoing negotiations. He suggested that County Manager Gary Page send a letter reiterating the county’s support of the expansion of

its tax base and job creation. Coltrain and Barber agreed. Hall then forwarded the discussion to County Attorney Jay Dees. In a March 29 e-mail, Dees responded to all that he didn’t understand why such a letter was needed. “We have an incentive policy that is a written statement of (the Board of Commissioners’) support for economic development and job creation,” Dees wrote. “The manager could certainly generate a letter that

Diana Spalding is a registered nurse at Rowan Regional Medical Center. She works in the emergency room and is also part of a state/national disaster response team.

Whether it’s life in the ER or on the disaster field, nurse Diana Spalding is prepared BY SHAVONNE POTTS

spotts@salisburypost.com

As a registered nurse in the emergency room, Diana Spalding is on the frontline everyday, exposed to people, some with horrific afflictions. But, she wouldn’t trade in her scrubs for any other career. Spalding is a nurse at Rowan Regional Medical Center. “This is my passion, taking care of people,” she said.

It’s also a career she chose at the tender age of five. “I’ve been wanting to be a nurse since five when I was rolling my maw maw’s hair watching TV. I would put dippity doo in her hair,” Spalding said with a chuckle. As a young girl she watched Marcus Welby, M.D., and discovered a love of helping people get well. When her grandmother asked why she wanted to be a

nurse instead of a doctor, a 5year-old Diana told her she “liked the white dresses.” At the time there were no other family members who were in the medical field. Spalding was the first, but certainly not the last. Spalding’s sister, Angela, and daughters, Jessica, 21, and Alicia, 15, are pursuing nursing careers. “If you’re a parent and go to college then you’re leading by example,” she said.

Like their mother, both Jessica and Alicia plan to work in the emergency room. Alicia is currently taking early college courses. Spalding received her nursing degree in 2002 with a specialty in cardiothoracic nursing, dealing with the heart. She worked for two years in critical/coronary care. After a patient received open heart sur-

Commissioner Raymond Coltrain was not in violation of the Hatch Act during his 2008 campaign, according to the U.S. Office of Special Counsel. Coltrain spoke about the office’s decision at the end of Monday’s meeting of the Rowan County Board of Commissioners. “If you reCOLTRAIN call, at our March 22 meeting, Commissioner (Tina) Hall asked me if I fell under the Hatch Act during my 2008 cam-

paign,” Coltrain said. “I did not work for the federal government and therefore did not come under the Hatch Act restriction.” The Hatch Act prohibits federal employees or other state and local government employees who apply for federal grants or have control of federal funds from seeking public office. Discussion of the act was prompted by Kevin Auten’s resignation as chief deputy with the sheriff’s office. At the March 22 special meeting, commissioners voted to name Auten sheriff so he could continue both his employment and his campaign. Coltrain later received a letter dated May 13 from the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, which

he read aloud at the meeting. It stated that the office had received an allegation that his 2008 candidacy for county commissioner may have been in violation of the Hatch Act. “We learned that since 2003, and specifically in 2008 ... you were employed as a consultant to various private farming businesses and as an independent contractor with Validus Services, LLC, a private entity,” attorney Nadia A. Konstantinova wrote in the letter. “Additionally, you were certified by the U.S. Department of agriculture (USDA) as a Technical Service Provider. This certification enabled you to assist farmers in developing nutrient management plants which, in turn, permitted the farmers to receive

Salisbury City Manager David Treme presented the 2010-2011 fiscal year budget for during Tuesday’s City Council meeting, stating he and his team found a way for the city to absorb the $1.1 million deficit, rather than pass it along to residents as a tax increase. The annual budget totals about $65 million for all funds. Although taxes will not see an increase, a 5.57 percent increase in water and sewer rates is proposed. “If you look at our neighbors, their increases are significantly higher,” Treme said. For example, a 5.57 percent rate increase would increase a utility bill from $68.74 to $72.78. The proposed rate increase would take effect July 1. Other proposed changes follow: • No new positions, except those funded by and for the City’s Fiber Optic Network Fund • No reduction in force or furlough • Rolling freeze on vacant positions • A $500 average employee bonus across the board based on performance (in lieu of merit raises) • Reduction in limb service from once a week to once a month • Continued absorption of three police officer salaries and associated costs by the general fund • A 10 percent reduction in funding to spe-

cost-sharing funds from USDA. “Although you were licensed as a Technical Service Provider, you were not employed by the USDA or any of its departments or divisions.” Because Coltrain’s employment did not meet the definition of an “employee” under the Hatch Act, the letter states that his candidacy did not violate the act. The office closed its file without further action. Coltrain said he did not know who had submitted the allegation. “I just wish the citizen who had these concerns had just come to me and gotten the story straight from horse’s mouth and saved a lot of time,” Coltrain said. “I hope this clears up any questions.”

A Kannapolis man who had been sought in connection with a “break-in rampage” in Rowan, Cabarrus, Stanly and Iredell counties is now in custody. Jarmarphio Shantez Moose, 27, of 110 Ashmont Drive, Kannapolis, was in the Cabarrus County jail Tuesday with bond set at $230,000. Kannapolis Police arrested Moose on Sunday. Capt. Chuck Adams of the Kannapolis Police Department said Moose had 16 outstanding MOOSE charges from Rowan, Cabarrus and Iredell counties. He faces felony charges of breaking and entering, larceny and larceny of firearms. He is also charged with a probation violation. Moose was involved in at least two confrontations with homeowners in Rowan, according to investigators. The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office identified Moose as the suspect in the break-ins on April 23. Capt. John Sifford said earlier that Moose had

After those two years, Spalding wanted to work in the emergency room department. “You have to be highly specialized because you have to be knowledgeable about a whole wide range of things,” she said. Her first month in the ER she was constantly sick until her body developed a tolerance. “You see everything,” she said. Spalding said being an ER nurse means, “being prepared for whatever walks through that door.” Not too long after Sept. 11, Spalding wanted to do something to help. She talked with her then husband about taking supplies to those who needed them. While collecting items to donate for the disaster, Spalding met a doctor with a state special operations team, who provide medical treatment for people during SHAVONNE POTTS/SALISBURY POST natural disasters.

After training, Spalding joined the state and national disaster response team. “If there is a disaster on the east coast we go,” she said. She’s usually on call three times a year. Spalding is always prepared. In her car there’s a emergency kit that can sustain her for at least 72 hours. Her kit has bandages and other personal things like clothes, radios, water and a gas mask, if needed. “We can put up a field hospital and start treating patients in seven minutes,” she said. “It’s like our own MASH unit.” She can handle anything from blast injuries to basic first aid.

However, he said, if the city is to absorb nearly four cents of expenses, “we’re pretty well limiting ourselves in terms of flexibility to absorb additional expenses.” Treme said if the trend were to

than disaster response. “During a disaster you say ‘I can’t save this one...here’s the one I can save.’ Sometimes you have to pick and choose who will survive,” Spalding said. She’s already deployed with the special response unit to Mississippi and New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. Responding to a disaster is mentally difficult because of some the decisions that must be made quickly, Spalding said. “It’s like playing God. But God gave me the ability. I got the education, but ultimately has the last say,” she said. Spalding came to the realization early in her career from an instructor that life was in God’s hands not hers. In February, Spalding spent three weeks in Ecuador on a Medical Mission trip with Medical Ministries Inc., based in Texas. During that trip she was able to help a hospital there create a disaster plan. They had a disaster plan

in place, she said, but she helped them refine it. The Tungurahua volcano in central Ecuador erupted a month earlier and Spalding spoke to a local doctor about what their plan covered. She helped him create a plan that covered how to transport or evacuate the hospital if there were another eruption. “They only had one ambulance,” she said. The hospital staff did not have masks to wear as ash continued to fall. Together Spalding and the doctor created a contingency plans for any disaster — hurricane, volcano and tsunami. When Spalding isn’t creating disaster plans and providing medical care in the ER, she’s a volunteer firefighter. She currently works with a Mooresville department and hopes to join Mount Pleasant. Her gusto to become involved has earned her the nickname Wonder Woman. “I’m someone who just wants to do something,” she said. This month, hospitals honored nurses during National Nurses Week, which is celebrated from May 6, on National Nurses Day, through May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing.

continue into the next year, the city would have to make permanent cuts in operations and staff. “I feel we’ve got it balanced with no tax increase if we were to do the things outlined here,” he said of the proposed budget. Mayor Susan Kluttz thanked Treme for presenting a budget with no tax increase. “In such a difficult time, I just can’t say enough on the excellent

with our public that we do things out in the open, and that we don’t cut deals behind the scenes,” Hall said. In addition, she said she didn’t want prospective new businesses to think that individual commissioners were responsible for business recruitment. Commissioner Jon Barber raised a different concern. “Having this on the agenda, in my opinion, says that the Rowan County Board of Commissioners is not businessfriendly,” Barber said. “But we are, and we’re open for business. I do not want my organization to feel as though they cannot approach a county commissioner about an opportunity for Rowan County.” Chairman Carl Ford said that Hall’s motion does not

discourage businesses from approaching individual commissioners. “The reason I allowed it on the agenda is because there’s been a lot of talk out in the public... that says we’re conducting business illegally,” Ford said. “We need to make sure that we stay above board.” Coltrain asked if Ford thought his actions were unethical or that he was trying to conduct business behind closed doors. Ford replied that while it’s fine to ask individual commissioners to sign a letter of support, it becomes questionable when asking them as a board collectively. Conducting county business via email is illegal, he said, and that’s how some members of

the public have interpreted it. “We weren’t doing that,” Coltrain said. “If anyone has questions about any of my actions, they can call me.” Also at Monday’s meeting, commissioners: • Approved Juvenile Crime Prevention Council funding recommendations for Fiscal Year 2010-11. The N.C. Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention plans to allocate nearly $340,000 to Rowan County for programs serving delinquent, undisciplined and at-risk youth. All but $59,229 was approved by the JCPC, in anticipation of state funding cuts. If no cuts are required, the council then will seek to allocate those funds.

In at least two of the incidents, homeowners confronted the suspects, with one homeowner shooting at the suspects. On April 19, a homeowner on Rimer Road confronted two people trying to break into his home. He fired a shot and struck their fleeing vehicle, a small white Chevrolet. Authorities shared information about the incident with neighboring law enforcement agencies. Two days later, on April 21, a Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office detective contacted Rowan investigators to say

his department had information on a small white Chevrolet that had been seen in the vicinity of break-ins at Cabarrus homes. The detective said the vehicle was registered to Shawnnelle Moose of 110 Ashmont Drive, Kannapolis. She is identified as Jarmarphio Moose’s ex-wife. Searching the house on Ashmont Drive, detectives found several flat-screen TVs, two of which were taken during Iredell County break-ins. Sifford said investigators believe Moose used at least

three different cars to commit the various break-ins. Sifford said deputies and detectives talked to people who live near homes hit in earlier break-ins. They discovered the suspects had been going to other houses and knocking on doors. If someone came to the door, the suspects would make up a story and leave. In some cases, the suspects were two men; in others, they were a man and a woman. Others are believed to be involved, but have not been identified.

job you and the staff have done,” she said. “We are fortunate to have a city manager like Dave Treme. “We see counties and municipalities all around us that are having to make drastic changes. We are very fortunate.” The council scheduled a public hearing on the budget for Tuesday, June 1, during its regularly scheduled meeting at 4 p.m.

The money will fund Youth Services Bureau programs like teen court, juvenile restitution, psychological services and sex offender specific evaluations. It also will fund the Adolescent and Family Enrichment Council’s Strengthening Families program. • Approved several budget amendments. • Voted to offer surplus property and equipment to

Kennedy family struggles to cope with loss of father BY JESSIE BURCHETTE

jburchette@salisburypost

CHINA GROVE — Friends, churches and the community are working to help a family devastated by a weekend drowning in High Rock Lake. Kenneth “Ken” Earl Kennedy, 25, of Brown Road, drowned Saturday morning. He left behind his wife, Alicia, and four children, Cody, 9, Austin, 7, Sarah, 6, and Kendra, 3. He was the sole source of financial support for the family, and he had no insurance. Now what was to be a fun outing to the lake on a warm Saturday has left Alicia with four children to care for and support. But she’s not completely on her own. As word spread around the area of Kennedy’s death, churches, friends and complete strangers have come forward to provide food, gifts and donations. “We are very, very grateful for each and everything they are doing for us,”

Alicia said Tuesday. “We didn’t have anything.” A fund has been established to help the family. Memorials may be made to Kenneth Earl Kennedy Memorial Fund, 275 Sloop St., China Grove, NC 28023. While trying to deal with the death of her husband and tough financial issues, Alicia is also trying to help her children through a very bad time. Seven-year-old Austin was at the lake when his father disappeared under the murky water. He turned to his step-grandfather, Wayne Robinson, and asked, “Is my Daddy dead?” The family spent Saturday night at the China Grove home of Wayne and Sylvia Robinson, Alicia’s mother. Austin asked that the light be left on, Alicia said, “so his dad could find the way home.” The next morning, they found Austin sleeping by the door. Alicia and Ken had been married seven years in February.

Ken, who was born in Lexington, S.C., had moved to the Kannapolis-China Grove area as a boy with his family. He attended school in Landis and at South Rowan High School. Alicia, a native of China Grove, met him through a family member. He was 18 and she was 22. “He was my soul mate, my backbone,” Alicia said. She never thought about raising the family without him. Ken had worked at Whitley’s Car Wash in Kannapolis and Concord for the past few years. He loved to go fishing. Saturday was the first time he had been able to go fishing this year.

Building a house of hope Local nonprofit provides food, shelter and education to 10 children in Haiti BY SHAVONNE POTTS

spotts@salisburypost.com

One day, Farrell Burton hopes to move to Haiti. This desire sprang out of a love for its people and a desire to help them, especially the children. In 2007, Burton was going through a hard time in his life. A personal setback led him to a life-altering outcome. Burton felt the need to go to Haiti. He’d worked at Nazareth Children’s Home for six years. “I’ve always had a heart for kids so it was a natural fit,” he said. He’s worked for YRC Worldwide, a Charlotte trucking company, for 11 years as a senior supervisor and trainer. Burton, a Rowan native and East Rowan graduate, went on a mission trip to Haiti and was forever changed. “I remember going to Port-au-Prince and seeing the poverty,” he said recently. “I remember seeing children on top of garbage piles looking for food.” Burton’s church, King’s Way Baptist in Concord, supported an orphanage in Haiti that eventually closed. Many of the children

there had been rescued from child slavery and had nowhere to go. Fellow congregant Steve Horne took on fundraising efforts and created Project 127 — Haiti, a nonprofit organization that supports missions and a group home in Haiti. Horne is the organization’s director. The thought of abandoning those children was too much to bear, so Burton joined in the cause. The first fundraising effort brought in more than $40,000, allowing Project 127 to buy a house about 60 miles south of Portau-Prince in Aquin. The children received temporary placement with other Haitian families until the organization could buy the group home, called Hope House. The house was painted and volunteers built beds for the children.

During one of his first trips to Haiti after Hope House was up and running, about 13 children came to greet Burton and other volunteers. “They were all smiling,” Burton said. “That’s when I realized how important it was for them what we do there.” Project 127 has continued to raise money and volunteers have taken many trips to see the children they’re helping. “We feed them, clothe them, provide medical care and provide for their education,” Burton said. A full-time caregiver lives at the home with 10 children who range in age from 7-18 years old. The children’s schooling is completely supported by Project 127. The goal is to expand from 10 to 20 children. A week after a powerful earthquake ravaged Port-au-Prince in January, Horne went to Haiti to check on the Hope House children. He took medical supplies, including bandages and syringes. Burton made his way to Haiti three weeks after the earthquake. “We didn’t know how our kids were. We

China Grove board mulls sewer, water rate increase BY SHAVONNE POTTS

spotts@salisburypost.com

CHINA GROVE — The board spent three hours poring over the sewer/water budget Tuesday during the second in a series of budget sessions. The sewer/water budget is not balanced, but stands at more than $1.9 million combined. “This is one thing that affects us the most — water and sewer,” said Mayor Don Bringle. At present, there is a shortfall of about $117,000 from the water/sewer budget. It’s hard to predict revenue be-

cause the town staff can only estimate usage, Town Manager Bill Pless said. “Usage is tough to estimate. Historically industrial users could subsidize smaller, residential customers,” Pless said. China Grove does not have a big industrial population and most of their water/sewer customers are residential. “We are 95 percent a residential system,” Pless said. There are some challenges, he told the board. “Water usage is down. Sewer use that is billable is down, but sewer used billed to us is up,”

Pless said. China Grove receives water from Salisbury-Rowan Utilities. At the time the town entered into a contract with Salisbury it used more water than it does now, but they are still billed for the old amount. The town is in talks with Salisbury about a possible merger that would help reduce its rates or to renegotiate the contract terms. The contract ends in seven years. Pless created a proposed scale that would show the board how much potential revenue the town could garner from a rise in water and sewer rates, if they chose to

increase. If the town went up 50 cents on the water rate it could generate an estimated $48,000 and a 50 cents hike in sewer fees could generate an estimated $40,300. But if the town increased the water and sewer rates by $1 it could bring in an annual estimated $96,000 and $80,600, respectively. The current rate for water is $8 per 1,000 gallons and $9.50 per 1,000 gallons for sewer. Last year’s sewer rate went up from $9 to $9.50, while the water rate

The Salisbury City Council approved the rezoning of two properties during its Tuesday meeting. The two properties will be developed into senior living facilities. The first property, owned by Bishop Peter Jugis of the Charlotte Catholic Diocese, is located on Lumen Christi Lane. It will be home to Good Shepherd Manor, a 54-unit senior living community. The community will be located on 4.2 acres of the 107-acre tract of land owned by the Charlotte Catholic Diocese, and located on the campus of Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Two streams border the entire property on the west and east, and plans are to include a greenway/walking trail, which will eventually expand the entire acreage of the property, and will connect to Jake Alexander Boulevard. “This provides immediate walkable access to the church and the school,” Gray Stout said during the public hearing. Stout is the architect for the 107-acre master plan. Stout added that he hopes the the trails can ultimately be linked to other greenways in town. The other senior community, The Villas at Hope Crest, will be located on Lincolnton Road between Hwy 150 and Jake Alexander Boulevard. The community will host 55 units, and will be located on 4 acres. The facility will be on the property to the west of the Time Warner Cable facility. The council approved the rezoning of both projects, however some council members were concerned with pedestrian feasibility, particularly that of The Villas at Hope Crest, where the closest access to public transportation is at Harris Teeter.

Rain leaves standing water Heavy rains over the past three days left much of the county soggy, and some fields with standing water. The Piedmont Research Station on Sherrills Ford Road looks like it has a new crop — rice. Dan “Mac” McGovern, administrative assistant at the station, said the corn in the lower part of the site is still in standing water. “It looks like rice paddies,” he said. “It should survive.” The Research Station recorded 4.6 inches from late Saturday through Monday. The southern end of the county got nearly 2 inches more. L.L. Goodnight & Sons, a farm supply store on Saw Road, measured 6.33 inches over the three-day period. Helen Goodnight said many farmers had already cut their hay. Some were still planting corn and other crops. While the rain will keep the farmers out of the fields for several days, Goodnight said the rain should make for a good growing season for farmers and gardeners. The rains apparently didn’t cause any major problems on roads and streets. The N.C. Highway Patrol reported no serious wrecks.

Police arrest 2 in connection with a string of breaking and enterings BY JESSIE BURCHETTE

jburchette@salisburypost.com

A series of break-ins led a persistent Iredell County Sheriff’s Office investigator to China Grove and Landis and resulted in charges against two local men. The investigation also brought in ATKINSON the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office and Landis and China Grove police departments. The Iredell Sheriff’s Office has charged Jeremiah Andrew Atkinson, 23, of China Grove, and Justin Lee Krimminger, 25, of Concord, with breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and entering and larceny of a firearm. Krimminger was arrested May 9. He is being held in the Iredell County jail under $75,000 bond.

Atkinson was arrested April 28 and is being held in the Rowan County jail on larceny and drug charges. Additional warrants from Iredell will be served. According to a press release from Iredell Sheriff Phil Redmon, the break-in that began the six-week investigation KRIMMINGER occurred at 141 Ricks Lane. On April 16, electronics and a semi-automatic handgun were taken. Investigators talked with neighbors, who provided a vehicle description. Two days later, a break-in occurred at 118 Ricks Lane. Medication and a child’s Nintendo game console were taken. Detective Sgt. J. Wingler began his investigation by interviewing neighbors and an individual where the suspect’s

vehicle had been seen. Winger identified Krimminger as one of the suspects. After numerous attempts, Wingler tracked down Krimminger, interviewed him and was subsequently able to identify Atkinson as a suspect. According to the press release, Wingler was able to track some of the stolen property to China Grove, where it was sold. Through joint efforts with the China Grove and Landis police departments and the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, the two suspects were linked to further break-ins in Rowan County. On May 11, search warrants were executed at two locations in Rowan County and property was recovered from the two break-ins in Iredell County including the child’s Nintendo. Wingler persisted and learned the possible location of the stolen handgun. On May 17, the handgun was recovered in Rockwell. The gun had been sold twice since it was stolen.

CRIME ROUNDUP Man indicted on rape charges

fender hiding in an unusual place — a gun safe. Deputy B.R. Williams went to 470 Mainsail Road to serve three orders for arrest on 37-year-old Charles Brown Aydelette. After finding him hiding in the gun safe, Williams added another charge — resist, delay and obstruct an officer. The orders for arrest were from Guilford County due to failure to appear in court. In March 2009, Aydelette was charged with selling or distributing marijuana to an 11-year-old boy. In other reports or charges from the Sheriff’s Office: • Tools and equipment worth an estimated $3,200 were taken during a break-in at the home of Olin Lane Basinger on St. Peters Church Road between May 12 and 14. Items taken included an air compressor, Craftsman tool boxes worth $2,500, a Black and Decker cordless drill and a Chicago circular saw. • A four-door, tan 1992 Honda Civic, owned by Miranda Lee Rinehardt of Concord, was stolen from a parking lot at 1409 N. Main St. The car was taken between April 13 and May 10. • A 2002 White Dodge Intrepid, which was reported stolen, was recovered on Graham Road, Mount Ulla. • A surveillance camera at a home on Miller Chapel Road caught vandals in the act. Stephen Sorrell’s surveillance cameras recorded two teens throwing eggs at the victim’s garage door. • Brittany Nicole Padgett, 28, was charged with felony manufacture of a controlled substance. • Tony Philip Padgett, 32, was charged with possession with intent to manufacture a controlled substance.

A 34-year-old Massachusetts man has been indicted on three counts of statutory rape. Salisbury Police served the Rowan grand jury indictments Monday on Seth A n d r e w Hoyt. He was also indicted on one count of resisting, delaying and obstructing HOYT an officer. Hoyt has been in the Rowan County Detention Center since January. He was arrested by the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office on 10 counts of statutory rape and five counts of soliciting a child by computer. In January, investigators said Hoyt had met the victim in an online social networking site in September. The 14year-old girl is from southeastern Rowan. Investigators said Hoyt made a least five trips from his residence in Wake County to meet the girl. On one occasion, authorities say, he took the girl back to Wake County, where they spent the night together. Other reports or charges from the Salisbury Police Department: • Norfolk Southern reported a locomotive engine was vandalized at the old Spencer yard in the 300 block of 11th Street. Someone used a large wrench to break a window in the locomotive. • A woman was reportedly injured on the front steps of the Rowan County Courthouse. • Salisbury Community Development reported someone kicked in the front door of a vacant residence at the facility at 209 S.

dren had gotten out of the shallow water and were sitting on the shore. Ken was beyond the shallow water, close to a marker showing the lake was 15 feet deep. “He was playing with some friends … splashing water, dunking each other, normal stuff you do in the water,” Alicia recalled. “He went under. They thought he was playing, thought he was coming after them.

“After about three minutes, he wasn’t coming back up. They started diving trying to find him. They couldn’t see anything, it was too cloudy, too dirty.” More than an hour later, a dive team located Ken’s body. Medical personnel were unable to revive him.

More scams showing up in mail Another scam letter with an official-looking check is showing up in area mailboxes. The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office is warning people to beware of the latest version of scams that appear to be targeting older people. A Cleveland woman recently intercepted a letter sent to her mother on Garrick Road in Salisbury from “American Direct Syndicates.” The letter claims to be a notification that the person has $250,000 in unclaimed prize money waiting from the U.S. MEGA Millions drawing. The letter was accompanied with an official-looking check drawn on “Wells Fargo Bank” in California for $3,997.53. The letter requested the recipient to cash the check and send $2,970 to the company based in Las Vegas, advising that, “What’s more, as someone deserving of special treatment, USA Lottery Syndicates representative in your area will deliver $246,002.47 cheque directly to your door after you complete the claim.” Throughout the letter the British spelling of “cheque” is used instead of the standard “check.” Capt. John Sifford of the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office urged local residents to be on the alert, particularly for such letters that might go to their parents, grandparents or other persons who could become victims. Although more people are becoming aware of the scams, Sifford noted that some people have fallen victim. Once anyone sends a check to cover the “taxes,” there is virtually no chance they will ever recover any of the money. Another Salisbury resident received a similar letter recently from a company called Micro Financial Inc. of California. It included a check, and the letter asked the man to cash it and send a check for $2,989 to pay taxes on his supposed winnings.

found out they were OK, but sleeping outside,” Burton said. The children were scared to sleep inside, fearing another quake and aftershocks. There was no structural damage to the group home, but there was damage to the well. “We didn’t notice it until a few weeks after the earthquake. The well was cracked,” Burton said. The organization decided not just to repair the Hope House well, but to use the opportunity to help others facing similar challenges. Leaders found someone who builds well-drilling machines in Texas and plan to buy one of the $6,000 devices. “This is an opportunity for us to build wells,” Burton said. Not only would they be able to repair the Hope House well, but other wells in and around Haiti. Burton also took medical supplies to Haitian hospitals during a trip after the earthquake. “We got them in the hands of doctors and nurses who were so appreciative,” he said. While helping, he couldn’t escape the fact there was so much ruin in Haiti. “The conditions were horrible. They were living under things they could string together,” Burton said. Burton, accompanied by friends and family, returned to Haiti last week. Melissa and Brandon Moose of Midland were among those who went to Haiti. Brandon, who has lung cancer, had just started chemotherapy the week the earthquake struck. “He’d been collecting medical supplies and trying to raise funds,” Burton said. Brandon is doing much better and was able to provide first aid to some children while in Haiti. The organization was able to provide T-shirts, 100 pairs of shoes and 120 pairs of socks to the children. “I was able to visit with our kids,” Burton said. Burton also went to a refugee camp where 100 families were living. He met a group of children and the organization was able to provide tents for them. “We washed their feet, gave them socks and shoes,” he said. The organization also helped a child who was abandoned. A female volunteer bathed the child, who was only wearing dirty underwear. “It was great to meet that

“I have real concerns for that intersection,” Salisbury Mayor Pro Tem Maggie Blackwell said. “I’m concerned about the pedestrian feasibility here. How do they get to the grocery store?” City Planner Preston Mitchell said there would be a gap of sidewalk between the living facility and Walgreens, but assured a sidewalk could be constructed. “This side of town scores very high on the sidewalk priority index,” he said. Some council members had concerns about not only seniors but anyone crossing Jake Alexander Boulevard. City Engineer Dan Mikkelson said there will always be options for sidewalks, however, since Jake Alexander Boulevard is a state-maintained road, anything would have to be approved and completed in coordination with the North Carolina Department of Transportation. “Jake Alexander Boulevard was originally designed and constructed for efficiently moving vehicles,” Mikkelson said. “There is a need to make it more walkable at the moment. DOT has some sources that might be of assistance.” “This is no attempt to railroad this project,” Blackwell said. “But I do want to raise awareness.” Councilman Paul Woodson was also concerned with people crossing the busy road, saying that it is almost too busy for even a crosswalk, and loosely suggested an above-road crossing. “I think that once this de-

He has spent most of his recent years confined to his home in western North Carolina and continues to battle a range of ailments. Ross said Graham reiterated his hope of delivering another sermon when he visited Charlotte last month for the reopening of his namesake library.

The Legislature directed Cansler’s office last year to come up with $40 million in spending reductions for personal care services, but it had already exceeded its budgeted amount for the entire year within the first six months. A judge blocked in February state Medicaid officials from using a new scoring system to determine how many hours of in-home care current patients can receive after the association argued state officials hadn’t taken other corrective measures first.

The Salvation Army will hold its annual summer day camp weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. June 14-August 20. The camp is for rising firstthrough eighthgraders. Cost is $45 a week for one child and $20 a week for each additional child in a family. There is also a $25 one-time registration fee per family. The cost covers trips, meals, snacks and other activities for the campers. Campers will go on weekly field trips to Dan Nicholas Park, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and Plaster Creations, a Kannapolis paint-it-yourself plaster craft shop, as well as Pizza Hut, where they’ll make their own pizzas.

Billy Graham looking to preach Salvation Army hosts one more sermon summer day camp CHARLOTTE (AP) —

An aide comes to her house two to three hours a day, five days a week. “There’s plenty of people out there who (would be) suffering if they didn’t have the help.” Lawmakers and state health officials have argued that thousands of patients are getting more help than their conditions require, and service providers have no incentives to reduce hours, thus reducing their Medicaid payments. “We know that there is extensive fraud in this program but we can’t get any meaningful help from the industry,” said Sen. Doug Berger, DFranklin, co-chairman of the Senate’s health budget subcommittee. Tim Rogers, chief executive officer of the Association for Home and Hospice Care of North Carolina, wrote Tuesday to lawmakers that the proposal goes overboard. “If there is provider fraud in the system, then it is the offending providers that should be targeted,” Rogers wrote. “The secretary’s proposal does not attack what he considers to be the problem. Instead, the proposal punishes the elderly and disabled.” A Medicaid patient currently qualifies for help if they have trouble performing at least two of six “activities of daily living,” such as dressing, eating, going to the bathroom and getting out of a chair. With a doctor’s OK, a registered nurse fills out a form to assess the patient and determine how much help is needed, usually

RALEIGH (AP) — Senate budget writers agreed Tuesday to implode the programs that give at-home Medicaid patients help with their cooking and bathing, arguing providers aren’t serious about eliminating fraud in an industry that employs tens of thousands of people. The Senate Appropriations Committee approved a nearly $19 billion spending plan that backs Gov. Beverly Perdue’s proposal to eliminate two programs that serve 38,000 residents. They would be replaced with two programs that would serve only a small fraction of those patients — probably less than 5,000, according to officials. The full committee spent about two hours reviewing the bill and recommended it after only two amendments were considered. The budget was scheduled for debate Wednesday afternoon by the full Senate before the first of two required votes. The plan also would seek another $60 million in state spending reductions on inhome personal care services. It is the latest skirmish in a fight over the services between health regulators and lawmakers on one side and providers and their patients on the other. Patients are worried they’ll be forced to enter a nursing home if they lose their assistance. “I’d have to beg for help if I didn’t have any help,” said Vera Watts, 89, of Hillsborough, who can’t get around without a walker in her home.

Are we getting too much information about the food we order? BY MICHAEL HILL

Associated Press Writer

Walk into a restaurant these days and you might be able to check the calorie count of your enchilada, the salt content of your fries, the “heart healthy” status of your asiago peppercorn steak and — in at least one pioneering place — the carbon footprint of your vegetable lasagna. Welcome to the era of the menu as a spreadsheet. More restaurants, either by mandate or by choice, are bombarding diners with calorie counts and other information. The disclosures on menus, menu boards and pamphlets are a victory for health advocates who believe informed consumers will make better food choices. But the profusion of numbers makes one wonder: Is it possible to give diners too much information about their food? “At some point, having too much information might actually hurt, because it may start to confuse,” says Barry Popkin, a professor of nutrition at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Popkin is one of the many advocates who support current laws in New York City, Seattle and elsewhere that require chain restaurants to post calorie counts next to food listings. A similar nationwide requirement was approved recently as part of health care reform. The Food and Drug Administration has a year to write the rules. At least one city now requires restaurants to divulge even more nutritional information. Philadelphia, home of the Philly cheesesteak, requires chain restaurants to list calories on menu boards, but sitdown chains with written menus must also include information on carbohydrates, sodium, saturated fats and trans fats. Though the narrower federal law will pre-empt local laws, Philadelphia intends to petition for an exemption, says Martha Johnston, a senior attorney for the city. Even outside Philadelphia many chains will, upon re-

quest, provide written nutritional information to customers. A handout nutrition chart at McDonald’s includes detailed tables on the saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrates and more for everything from burgers to frappes. Maybe the most unique drill-down-deep information is provided by Otarian, a vegetarian restaurant with two locations in Manhattan. Each item on the menu board is listed alongside its carbon footprint, in kilograms, and the footprint of a similar meat dish. For instance, Otarian figures that 1.38 kilograms of carbon are released to make an order of tacos, compared to 2.43 kilograms for beef tacos. The menu board thus informs taco eaters they have saved the release of 1.05 kilograms of carbon into the atmosphere. Otarian’s founder writes about empowering customers to help the environment one meal at a time. It’s not clear if all customers use their powers to figure out the carbon numbers. “I noticed and tried to figure out what they were trying to say with it, but it was kind of confusing,” said David Chung, a medical student who ate there recently. “I don’t know what saving a kilogram does either.” (For the record: that’s roughly the same amount of carbon released by driving a car a few miles). People who study nutrition and psychology say the rule of thumb for making information useful is to keep it short and sweet — something a person looking up at a fast-food menu board can digest quickly. Popkin said a good example of what to avoid is are those “Nutrition Facts” labels on packaged foods that are packed with per-serving and daily recommended value information for the likes of fat and fiber. He said the labels are useful — to scientists. Some chains have just simplified things on their own. “Nothing over 500 calories,” says the menu at Energy Kitchen, a health-conscious

DARRELL BLACKWELDER / FOR THE SALISBURY POST

Last Saturday I visited the Farmers Market when it opened at 7 a.m. As usual, I strolled through looking at what all the vendors had displayed. That is the process I go through each week to help me decide what I will purchase that day. I have to keep reminding myself over and over that I have only one refrigerator that can only accommodate a certain amount of produce and my landscaping area is not of sufficient size to allow me to cart away every plant I see. Also, I make notes as I pass through that will aid me in preparing this report. When I stopped to speak to David Correll about what he expected to harvest this week I was rendered almost speechless. The first word I entered on my notepad was “beautiful.” The next notation was “artistic; looks like

a canvas.” The arrangements and colors astounded me. Purple carrots and onions, white and red radishes, deep red beets, lacy red and green lettuces, the textures and colors blending and becoming as beautiful as any painting I have ever seen. Then I looked around at all the other vendors and was amazed to see that every booth, without exception, was just as spectacular as the next. Whether it was baked goods, plants, crafts or produce, these displays were all works of art. Beginning in June, Sue Davis and I will feature one vendor each week. We will give you a little background information on each and give you a chance to know these people that have been so dedicated in making our Farmers Market so successful. This week, there will be local tart, red cooking cherries as well as squash. Cole crops are still plentiful although not

Host hesitates when guest won’t reciprocate Dear Amy: My husband has a friend whom he has known for 25-plus years; I will call him “Steven.” We live in a “vacation destination” town. Throughout the last 25 years, we have welcomed Steve for weekend visits. I put a lot of effort ASK into preparing AMY meals for him and believe I’ve been the best possible hostess. Steve has never reciprocated by bringing a gift or inviting us to stay in his home. He has never taken us to dinner. On his last visit with his fiancee to my home, while discussing with my husband his desire to downsize his living arrangements, Steve commented that he “didn’t want to have a guest room, because then people just want to stay with you.” He made this comment with a glass of my wine in his hand and my handmade appetizers on his plate. I was, and still am, livid. The weather is getting nicer and Steve has recently made contact, presumably to see if the “inn” is open for an-

other weekend stay. Though I genuinely enjoy his company, I have told my husband that I will not host him nor prepare another meal for him, and my husband understands my feelings. Frankly I wonder what we can say to this man to make it clear that although my husband and I value his friendship, he and his fiancee are no longer welcome to stay with us. Saying we don’t have room isn’t an option. Steve is comfortable financially, so paying for a hotel room isn’t a problem for him. — Harried Hostess Dear Hostess: You know you’re done when you start describing food and beverage as “my wine and my appetizers.” When “Steve” angles with your husband for this year’s invitation, hubby is going to have to say, “I’m sorry, but my wife says she has had it doing the hostess thing. I know you understand because you don’t seem to want to be a host, either. We love seeing you, so let me give you the name of the B&B in town.”

students, “Cassie,” approached me asking for a letter of recommendation for the college’s honors program. Even though this was at a busy time, I wrote a very nice letter and submitted it before the deadline, asking her to let me know when she was notified of her admission status. Even though I saw her in person several times before the end of the course, she never mentioned anything to me about the letter. I feel this student was rude by not following up with me. As an undergrad, I had many superiors write me letters of recommendation for various programs and the very least I did was send a thank-you e-mail; sometimes I gave them a small gift. As a mere TA, I have very little importance in this student’s life, but I contemplated writing her an e-mail suggesting that, in the future, she should show her letter-writers more appreciation, especially if she wants to continue to get letters in the future. My fellow TAs told me to let it go. What do you think, Amy? — Miffed TA

part of her education. You just say, “I didn’t hear from you about the honors program, but I certainly hope you were admitted. In the future, when someone writes you a letter of recommendation, you should follow up with a thank you and an update. Not to do so makes you seem neglectful and disorganized and may affect a colleague’s willingness to recommend you in the future.” Dear Amy: In the past I have asked the kids in my life what they would like to receive as gifts. Sometimes I mistook the reply “I don’t know” to mean they weren’t interested. I learned recently from my 5-year-old granddaughter that I was wrong. She really didn’t want me to spend money on her. She said, “I love it the most when you take me to the park.” — PaPa Dear PaPa: Most kids would rather have an experience than any “thing” else.

Amazon releasing Kindle software for Android et with Kindle software. It’s a way for Amazon to make money from e-book sales from people who may not own the $259 Kindle device or the larger-screen Kindle DX, which costs $489. Amazon has been building up its Kindle ecosystem as competition rises in the e-book market from Apple, Sony Corp. and Barnes & Noble Inc. All three companies sell devices that, like the Kindle, can get e-book downloads directly over wireless connections. Apple’s iPad, released in April, has been emerging as the first real threat to the Kindle. Amazon, which is based in Seattle, said Tuesday that the Android Kindle software offers the ability to switch font sizes and, with a tap or the flick of a finger on the phone’s screen, go to the next page in a book.

FROM 8A — are under 475 calories. Applebee’s promotes its under550 calorie picks with a little green apple graphic. With a hodge-podge of local and still-to-be-decided national regulations determining how much and what information consumers will see, it’s likely to take time for consumers to get used to seeing numbers other than dollars on the menu. Jeff Cronin, spokesman for the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a Washington-based nonprofit that has tracked the issue for years, says there is no evidence restaurants are purposely providing too much information in an attempt to confuse consumers. Experts like the simple calories-only approach, but they say it’s not a perfect system. Calorie counts are of limited use to someone who doesn’t know how many calories they’re supposed to eat a day, says Doug Nelson, director of the Avery Foodservice Research Laboratory at Purdue University. It might be more useful to tell diners that a brownie sundae with 850 calories represents more than a third the daily intake recommended for most adults.

A second problem is the “halo effect,” which could lead people to believe that something with low calories is good for them generally. For instance, someone counting calories might consider a lowercalorie chicken and bacon ranch salad a great choice without noticing that its salt count is off the scale. “It may give the illusion of being better, but without having even more information with extra context, it might not be that much better,” says Peter Todd, a professor of cognitive science at Indiana University. But maybe the biggest weakness of providing information for people ordering food is the “Who cares?” factor. People who order Burger King’s Triple Whopper with Cheese (1,250 calories) or Taco Bell’s Volcano Nachos (1,000 calories) probably understand that it is not health food. While some early research has shown calorie counts affect consumer choice, not all studies show that. Even in cities with simple calorie postings, like Albany, N.Y., customers often say they either failed to notice the numbers next to the prices and menu listings — or failed to heed them. “To me, it’s something I ignore,” Martin Momodu said as he walked from an Albany McDonald’s, biting into a 360-calorie McChicken sandwich. “When I come here, I’m kind of in a rush.”

COUNTY SPENDING PLAN

Budgeting the basics T

he most important statement in the county’s proposed budget for 20102011 doesn’t refer to this year’s spending. It comes from County Manager Gary Page, looking ahead to 2011-2012. “... The county will need to begin cutting programs and services, and/or raise taxes, in order to pay for the basics of welfare, public safety and school funding,” Page wrote. That’s the stark context for the budget discussions that will take place over the next few weeks. While a majority of those responding one of the Post’s online polls see signs of economic recovery, it hasn’t yet reached the county coffers. When it comes to budgeting in the current economic climate, “basics” is the key word. County and municipal officials know they’ll be fortunate if local governments can continue to provide the basics without raising the costs to taxpayers, many of whom are dealing with their own personal budget difficulties. For the most part, the preliminary budget taken up this week by the board of commissioners holds the line on basics. For schools, usually a bellwether of local funding, the county allocation would remain approximately at last year’s level, or about $32.1 million. At this point, the Rowan-Salisbury system is unlikely to get a requested $3 million increase in funding, although a $1.5 million increase remains a possibility — one that should be a priority as county officials wrestle the plan into its final form. Nineteen county positions would be cut, including four in the Sheriff’s Office. County employees would bear more of the costs of their health insurance, while forgoing any cost of living raises. While holding the line on expenditures, the proposed budget also holds the line on the tax rate. Like any initial budget proposal, this plan will be subject to adjustments as commissioners hold work sessions and invite the public to weigh in with their ideas or suggestions. State budget discussion are currently under way in Raleigh, and the outcome there will also impact local spending for schools, social services and other areas as legislators wrestle with a state budget gap of $800 million or more. Regarding school funding, for instance, local systems are waiting to see whether their feared reductions of 3-3.5 percent in the state allocation will come to pass. Similarly, local social service offices face significant cuts in the health and human services budget. But whatever adjustment are made at the local level, they will mostly be modest changes at the margins. With declines in the tax base and sales tax revenue, there’s little sign of an upside to this in the near future. Meanwhile, if anyone has suggestions for better ways to balance this year’s budget, a public hearing is scheduled for June 7. County officials would be eager to hear ways to minimize the pain while boosting the basics.

Non-renewable energy has high long-term costs I don’t understand the logic behind more oil drilling, coal mining or subsidizing nuclear power plants. None of those are renewable sources. Instead they are highly polluting, contain highly toxic chemicals, and in the long run they cost much, much more than investing in the development of renewable sources of energy. Take away the subsidies to oil and coal, demand these companies pay the real cost and stop externalizing them to all of us. Nuclear power plants are extremely expensive and will take at least 20 years to become operational. When that happens the cost of nuclear material will be as expensive or even more than the cost of petroleum. Instead, we need to use those funds to put solar systems on the roofs of tens of millions of homes and cut oil consumption by half. Provide incentives for people to buy electric cars, such as tax deductions to the full extent of the cost of the vehicle, and demand that car industries produce more efficient vehicles. Why spend funds that we do not have in ambitious NASA projects instead of solving the extremely urgent problems we have here at home — on planet Earth? — Miguel Reinoso Salisbury

The Jewish experience in N.C. W

hat is the best way for me to learn about North Carolina history? I get this question all the time, especially from new North Carolinians who want to learn about the special history of their new homeland. There are lots of good answers: Professors Powell’s and Lefler’s classic state history books are still the standards. But newer versions from important historians like Milton Ready and William Link are now essential references. H.G. Jones’ pictorial history, “North Carolina Illustrated, 1524-1984,” though out of print, has always been one of my favorites. A good, easy-toread description of North Carolina life during various periods of history is “The Way We Lived in North Carolina.” D.G. Another way to look at the MARTIN history of our state is through the eyes of a special person or a group of people whose experiences differ from our own. The newest of these special North Carolina histories may be the best. “Down Home: Jewish Life in North Carolina” by Leonard Rogoff follows the experiences of Jews in our state beginning with Sir Walter Raleigh’s efforts to establish a colony on Roanoke Island, when Joachim Gantz, a Jewish metallurgist, explored the area’s potential for mining in 1585. It would be many years before Jews established more that a token or temporary presence in the state. Between 1730 and 1775 North Carolina’s population grew from 35,000 to more than 200,000. Between 1770 and 1790 the population doubled. As the population grew, opportunities developed in the fields of commerce and trade. Jews from other parts of the country and the world came here to take advantage of these new opportunities. By the time of the American Revolution, some Jews were ready to join patriot troops to fight the British while others played important roles in supplying the army. Early on, Jews typically settled in port towns like Wilmington and New Bern. In the early 1800s, some moved west, establishing a presence in places like Warrenton, Hillsborough, and Charlotte. One of the most important Jewish families,

the Mordecais, came from Virginia, first to Warrenton and then to Raleigh, where their home place has been preserved as an important public historic site. The Mordecai children and descendents became physicians, presidents of institutions like banks and railroads, authors and teachers. Ironically, the family’s success led to intermarriage with Christians. Many “non-Jewish” families can trace their origins to the Mordecais. In the years before and after the Civil War, wholesalers in New York and Baltimore supplied goods for Jewish peddlers and for a growing number of established Jewish merchants in North Carolina small towns. Between 1840 and 1860, 48 North Carolina towns had a Jewish store. As the North Carolina Railroad pushed into the Piedmont, Jewish merchants followed. In the following years, Jewish migration escalated. Rogoff confronts with candor some of the painful challenges Jews faced. He describes the complicated Jewish accommodation to slavery and the racial caste system that replaced it. He explains the difficulty Jews had in preserving their religious traditions in a society dominated by Christians. He shows the tensions within the Jewish community between the orthodox religious views of newer immigrants from Eastern Europe and those whose more liberal views had been shaped by a long time of contact with American traditions. In more recent times, increasing numbers of Jews have moved from selling merchandise to manufacturing it — or to the professions and other businesses. Rogoff tells with some pride the contributions of Jews and Jewish families to public service and their generosity to community, educational, and charitable causes. The Jewish experience in “down home” North Carolina has been something like the best business deal: Good for both parties — very good for Jews and great for North Carolina. So is Rogoff’s book. • • • D.G. Martin is the author of “Interstate Eateries,” a guide to family owned homecooking restaurants near North Carolina’s interstate highways.

istory is not a Hallmark card. Sometimes, history breaks your heart. I know this because I have often recounted history in this space, tales of black men and women bought and sold, cheated and mistreated, maimed and lynched. And whenever I do this, I can be assured of e-mails and calls of chastisement. I still remember one of the first, an earnest lady who pleaded with me to leave this history behind. Telling such tales, she said, could not help LEONARD but make black PITTS people resent white ones. Her complaint presented a quandary. I find the same value in recounting those stories that my former boss Bert used to find in remembering Holocaust brutalities and my friend John finds in recalling Irish suffering at British hands. Understanding the past provides context to understand the present and predict the future. Moreover, history is identity. These stories tell me who I am. But there's a difference, isn't there? Bert's history indicts Germans in Europe, John's indicts Britons in the United Kingdom. Mine indicts white people, here. So I'm not without sympathy for people like that lady. This history hurts. But is requiring me not to speak it really the best response to that hurt? Should a hard truth not be uttered for fear it might cause somebody, somewhere to resent? Her answer, I suspect, would be yes. In that, she would be much like the state of Arizona, where Gov. Jan Brewer just signed a law restricting ethnic studies courses in public schools. Having apparently decided she had not done enough to peeve Latino voters by signing a Draconian immigration bill a few days back, the governor went after a Mexican-American studies program in Tucson. But the prohibitions in the new law seem to say more about the mindset of the governor than about any real danger posed by ethnic studies. Specifically, the law bans classes that "promote the overthrow of the United States government, promote resentment toward a race or class of people, are designed primarily for pupils of a particular ethnic group, advocate ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals." And you wonder: What sort of ethnic studies classes did SHE attend? Is that really what people think those classes are about? Worse, the restrictions are so broad, so void of legal precision, as to be meaningless. How does one decide to a legal certainty whether a class is "designed primarily for pupils of a particular ethnic group?" How can one know with legal exactness whether a class will "promote resentment"? Like the lady who called me, the governor seems to prefer that hard stories not be told, that doing so detracts from American unity. As one online observer put it, "We need to focus on America instead of promoting everyone else." The problem with that reasoning is obvious: America IS everyone else, a nation composed of other nations, a culture made of other cultures, a history built of other histories. And yes, sometimes, those histories will be hard to hear. But silence does not make a hard story go away. Silence only makes it fester, grow and, sometimes, explode. It is in our narratives that we explain ourselves to ourselves. That's a crucial matter in a nation that is, after all, bound not by common blood or ancestry, but by common fealty to a set of revolutionary ideals that begins, "We hold these truths to be self-evident..." To those ideals have flocked men and women from every other nation on earth, each with stories of their own. Granted, the challenge of incorporating those stories into the larger American story is daunting. The governor seems to fear what kind of nation we'll be if we accept that challenge. I fear what kind we’ll be if we don’t. • • • Leonard Pitts is a columnist for the Miami Herald. E-mail: lpitts@miamiherald.com.

Democratic incumbents in Pa. and Ark. face challenges

NEW YORK (AP) — The suspect in a botched car bombing in Times Square appeared in court Tuesday on terrorism and weapons charges for the first time since his arrest two weeks ago, muttering one word about an affidavit on his finances. Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistan-born U.S. citizen, said “yes” when asked to confirm the affidavit. Shahzad, wearing a gray sweat suit and with his hair a bit longer than in photos splashed around the world, was handcuffed behind his back and led out of court after the 10minute hearing. He did not enter a plea to five felony charges against him. Magistrate Judge James C. Francis read him his rights, including his right to remain silent, and warned him that anything he might say could be used against him. Assistant U.S. Attorney Randall Jackson asked that Shahzad be detained without bail. His attorney, assistant public defender Julia Gatto, agreed, saying she was not prepared to argue for bail. The courtroom had extra officers on hand and was emptied for a security sweep immediately before the hearing. Gatto asked during the hearing if Shahzad could be provided with halal meals in custody. She didn’t comment afterward and didn’t immediately return an email message seeking comment. Authorities say Shahzad, an ex-budget analyst from Bridgeport, Conn., had voluntarily waived his rights to an initial court appearance while he was cooperating. Shahzad was arrested May 3 on a Dubai-bound plane at John F. Kennedy International Airport on charges he drove an SUV rigged with a homemade car bomb into Times Square two nights earlier, sending thousands of tourists into a panic on a busy Saturday night. The bomb didn’t explode, and no one was hurt. The U.S. attorney’s office said Tuesday Shahzad is charged with attempted use of weapons of mass destruction and attempting acts of terrorism transcending national boundaries, each carrying a maximum life term.

U.S. missionary to Haiti freed after court convicts her BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The leader of an American group detained while trying to take 33 children out of Haiti after the January earthquake returned Tuesday to Idaho, sidestepping questions about her conviction for arranging illegal travel. Laura Silsby was freed Monday after she was convicted by a judge and sentenced to time already served in jail. She was welcomed at the Boise airport by her sister, mother and members of her Idaho church. Silsby cried while hugging family members and sang a hymn with members of her church congregation. Silsby, 40, organized the ill-

He’s charged with using a destructive device in an attempted violent crime, punishable by up to 30 years in prison; transporting and receiving explosives, punishable by up to 10 years; and attempting to damage and destroy property with fire and explosives, punishable by five to 20 years. Since his arrest, Shahzad, 30, “has provided valuable intelligence from which further investigative action has been taken,” the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan said in a statement Tuesday. Authorities said shortly after Shahzad’s arrest that he had admitted driving the SUV bomb into Times Square and told authorities he had received terror training during a recent fivemonth trip to Pakistan. “The investigation into the attempted Times Square bombing continues,” the U.S. attorney’s office said. Federal authorities raided locations in three states last week and picked up on immigration violations three men who are suspected of providing money to Shahzad to help build the homemade bomb of fireworks, propane and batteryoperated alarm clocks. Officials in Pakistan have taken several people into custody, including two men arrested last week on suspicion of helping finance the failed plot. CIA Director Leon Panetta and retired Gen. James Jones, President Barack Obama’s national security adviser, were in Pakistan meeting with officials there on the failed Times Square bombing and the terrorist safe havens where the suspect is believed to have received training. In light of the attack, said National Security Council spokesman Mike Hammer, “we believe that it is time to redouble our efforts with our allies in Pakistan to close this safe haven and create an environment where we and the Pakistani people can lead safe and productive lives.” One U.S. official said the trip is not confined to the Times Square bombing issues but noted that the emphasis is on cooperation between the U.S. and Pakistan and what both countries need to do to keep pressure on the extremists in that re-

gion. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the meetings. Shahzad appeared in court on the same day a New York defense attorney wrote a letter to a chief federal court judge demanding he be produced. Ron Kuby accused authorities of violating Shahzad’s rights by “squeezing him for information” in secret. He argued that federal authorities — by holding Shahzad for “an unprecedented third week of captivity” — were violating criminal procedures requiring suspects to be promptly presented in court. “A suspect buried in the bowels of a Manhattan version of Guantanamo ... is essentially without power to compel the government to comply” with the procedures, he wrote. Without an appearance, “there is no reason to think the waiver is voluntary,” Kuby wrote. Authorities have not publicly addressed a possible motive for Shahzad. But in e-mails provided by a Connecticut doctor, Shahzad complained that Muslims were under siege around the globe and that Muslim countries were doing little to respond. “Everyone knows how the Muslim country bows down to pressure from the West,” he wrote on Feb. 25, 2006. “Everyone knows the kind of humiliation we are faced with around the globe.” In the same e-mail, Shahzad says Muslims are “attacked and occupied by foreign infidel forces.” He cites the cartoon drawings of the Prophet Muhammad, the plight of the Palestinians and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. “Friends with peaceful protest!” he writes. “Can you tell me a way to save the oppressed? And a way to fight back when rockets are fired at us and Muslim blood flows?” The e-mails, first reported by The New York Times, were provided to The Associated Press by Dr. Saud Anwar, a founder of the Pakistani American Association of Connecticut, who said he was given them by a Shahzad friend who received them.

Souder won a bruising primary just two weeks ago, and the resignation effective Friday could hurt the GOP’s chances of holding onto the Republicanleaning district in November in a year that many expect will favor the party. Souder, an evangelical Christian who has championed family values and traditional marriage, apologized for his actions but provided no details during an emotional news conference at his Fort Wayne office. “I am so ashamed to have hurt the ones I love,” he said as he battled tears. “I am sorry to have let so many friends down, people who have worked so hard for me.” The announcement stunned many in political circles.

Blumenthal says his words about military were unintentional WEST HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Senate candidate Richard Blumenthal on Tuesday said he had “misspoken” in claiming more than once that he served in Vietnam, dismissing the furor that threatened to endanger a seemingly safe Democratic seat as a matter of “a few misplaced words.” At a news conference backed by veterans, the popular Connecticut attorney general and front-runner to replace the retiring Sen. Christopher Dodd, said he meant to say he served “during Vietnam” instead of “in Vietnam.” He said the statements were “totally unintentional” errors that occurred only a few times out of hundreds of public appearances. The campaign crisis erupted after The New York Times reported Monday that Blumenthal had distorted his military service. The story included quotes and a video of Blumenthal saying at a 2008 event that he had “served in Vietnam.” It also cited several instances of media reports — apparently uncorrected by Blumenthal — that described him as a Vietnam veteran. Blumenthal underwent six months in Marine boot camp at Parris Island, S.C., and served six years in the Marine Reserve, beginning in 1970, none of it overseas. Before that, Blumenthal got five deferments to avoid go-

Militant held in Iraq says he plotted attacks at World Cup BAGHDAD (AP) — An alleged al-Qaida militant detained in Iraq said Tuesday he had talked to friends about attacking Danish and Dutch teams at the World Cup in South Africa next month to avenge insults against the Prophet Muhammad. Iraqi security forces holding Saudi citizen identified as Abdullah Azam Saleh alQahtani arranged for The Associated Press to interview him at an unidentified government building in Baghdad. He said he initially came to Iraq in 2004 to fight Americans and was recruited by al-Qaida. An Iraqi security official with knowledge of the investigation said al-Qahtani was arrested after a joint U.S.Iraqi operation in April that killed the two top al-Qaida in Iraq figures — Abu Ayyub al-Masri and Abu Omar alBaghdadi. The official asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to discuss details of the case. Documents found in the house where they were killed, including a note written by al-Qahtani detailing a plan to launch attacks at the World Cup, led to his arrest on May 3. Iraqi authorities made it public on Monday. “We discussed the possibility of taking revenge for the insults of the prophet by attacking Denmark and Holland,” al-Qahtani told The AP. “The goal was to attack the Danish and the Dutch teams and their fans,” he added.

Report says U.S. repeated 9/11 failures in bomb plot WASHINGTON (AP) — Despite a top-to-bottom overhaul of the intelligence community after the 2001 terrorist attacks, the security system showed some of the same failures nearly a decade later and allowed a would-be bomber to slip aboard an airliner, congressional investigators said Tuesday. The Senate intelligence Committee report at times contradicted the Obama administration’s assertion that the nearly catastrophic Christmas Day bombing attempt was unlike 9/11 be-

cause it represented a failure to understand intelligence, not a failure to collect and understand it. The congressional review is more stark than the Obama administration’s report. It lays much of the blame at the feet of the National Counterterrorism Center, which Congress created to be the primary agency in charge of analyzing terrorism intelligence. The NCTC is the government’s clearinghouse for terrorism information and is the only government agency that can access all intelligence and law enforcement information. Lawmakers found that the NCTC was not organized to be the sole agency in charge or piecing together terrorism threats.

U.S. judge orders ex-Nazi in Pa. back to Austria PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Justice Department says a federal immigration judge has ordered a western Pennsylvania man deported to Austria for serving as an armed Nazi death camp guard during World War II. The 14-page decision against 85-year-old Anton Geiser (GY’-ser) was announced Tuesday and filed Monday by an immigration judge in Philadelphia. Geiser was born in what is now part of Croatia and came to the United States from Austria in 1956. He lives in Sharon, about 60 miles northwest of Pittsburgh. Federal prosecutors say Geiser was an armed SS Death’s Head guard at the Sachsenhausen (ZAHK’-zenhow-zen) concentration camp near Berlin who had orders to shoot anyone who tried to escape. Geiser can appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals in Washington. Neither Geiser nor his attorneys immediately commented.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania and Blanche Lincoln in Arkansas struggled uncertainly for nomination to new Senate terms Tuesday and tea party activists clashed with the Republican hierarchy in Kentucky in primaries testing anti-establishment anger in both political parties. In a fourth race with national implications, Republican Tim Burns and Democrat Mark Critz vied to fill out the final few months in the term of the late Rep. John Murtha in southwestern Pennsylvania. Each political party invested some $1 million to prevail for that House seat and said the race to succeed the longtime Democratic lawmaker was something of a bellwether for the fall. Rounding out the busiest night of the primary season to date, Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden in Oregon faced little opposition in his campaign for nomination to a third full term. Voters in Pennsylvania and Oregon also selected gubernatorial candidates.

CHARLOTTE — A federal judge on Tuesday dismissed Jeremy Mayfield’s lawsuit against NASCAR, a ruling that presumably ends the yearlong saga surrounding the first Sprint Cup driver suspended for failing a random drug test. U.S. District Judge Graham Mullen ruled that Mayfield had twice waived his rights to pursue any claims against NASCAR when he signed documents both as a driver and as an owner to participate in the stock car series. “Plaintiffs thereby waived their right to pursue their claims for defamation, unfair and deceptive trade practices, breach of contract, and negligence,” Mullen wrote in his decision. “Plaintiffs’ claims are hereby dismissed.” NASCAR was pleased with Mullen’s ruling.

NASCAR’s comprehensive substance abuse policy, which is among the best and toughest in all of sports, serves the safety of our competitors and fans.” Mayfield was suspended last May 9 for failing a random drug test. NASCAR later said the driver tested positive for methamphetamines, a claim Mayfield has denied.

Catholic edges Carson BY MIKE LONDON

CHARLOTTE — Cars o n Catholic 3 sophoCarson 2 more pitcher Ethan Free was in a situation that was borderline impossible on Tuesday. Fourth inning. Carson already down to Charlotte Catholic 3-0. Bases loaded. Nobody out. Free calmly struck out the side and nearly extended the careers of a bunch of seniors he’s loved playing with. “I didn’t pitch well at all on Tuesday and I FREE knew I couldn’t throw like that again,” Free said. “I went out there and threw my cutter the way I can.” Free’s heroics made the second-round 3A playoff game winnable, but clutch hits proved elusive. Carson fell 3-2, ending the game with the tying run at third. It was the 20th straight victory for Catholic (21-3), which has broken the school record. Catholic also stayed unbeaten at Waddell High, its spacious, adopted home field. “I’m just happy to make it to the third round because we were up against a good team,” said white-haired, mustachioed Randy Belk, who has piloted Catholic for 30 years. “You win 20 like Carson did, and you’re good.” Carson closed the books 20-8. Starters Zack Grkman, Julio Zubillaga, Patrick Bearden, Tyler Freeze and Weston Snow e n d e d prep careers, as did pitcher Jesse Park, a f i r s t ZUBILLAGA r o u n d hero. “After those first couple of innings, we were patient and driving the ball,” Zubillaga said. “We hit a lot of balls hard — just not to the right places.” The man for Catholic was senior Ryan Weise, who missed a month with back and chest injuries. The left-handed LenoirRhyne signee was the winning pitcher and belted a home run, a rarity for

GRANITE QUARRY — The East Rowan Mustang softball E. Rowan 6 team outa NWC 2 lasted p e s k y Northwest Cabarrus squad 62 yesterday afternoon in the first round of the 3A playoffs. The game began with Northwest scoring on a throwing error in the top of the first to take an early 1-0 lead against East star pitcher Chelsea White. The Mustangs got the bats started in the bottom of the second inning when Mallory Drew reached on a bunt single and then stole second base. Steffi Sides followed with a single, sending Drew to third. Jessica Rummage then gapped a single scoring Drew and Sides to put the Mustangs on top 2-1 after two. Shortstop Erika Nesbitt led off the third for East with an inside-the-park home run that bounced over the left-fielder’s head and careened off the wall. White now had a little

East Rowan freshman Bobbi Thomas had a key double in the win over Northwest. breathing room with a 3-1 lead, but put herself quickly back in the pressure cooker by giving up a solo shot to Northwest’s Hannah Eudy that easily cleared the centerfield wall in the top of the fourth. East still led 3-2 into the sixth when Northwest loaded the bases against White with a double, walk, and hit batsmen. White got herself out of the jam by inducing a pop-up by Michaela Boyd to Sides in left field.

East provided more insurance in the bottom of the sixth when Bobbie Thomas pinch-hit for Sydney Poole and smacked a double to right-center field. Poole reentered for Thomas to pinch run and White hammered a pitch to deep left field that barely missed being a two-run homer, bouncing high off the fence, forcing her to settle for a double.

GRANITE QUARRY — E a s t E. Rowan 9 Rowan H. Ridge 1 pried open its postseason treasure chest and dropped in another gem Tuesday night. The Mustangs received stellar pitching from middle reliever Will Johnson and had baserunners galore in a 9-1 second-round win against Hickory Ridge. “We left 10 on in the first four innings,” winning coach Brian Hightower said at Staton Field, where East (25-2) will host the winner of tonight’s South RowanMount Pleasant game in Friday’s third round. “We always talk about pitching, defense and timely hitting. We just didn’t come up with the big hits tonight.” They almost didn’t have to. Hunter Ridge (13-12) was in a generous mood, allowing 12 walks, hitting two batters and committing three errors. “That’s a lot of free baserunners,” coach Bran-

don Knapp said after the curtain dropped on HR’s season. “I mean, 12 walks — that stat alone says you aren’t going to win the ballgame.” The Raging Bulls brought high hopes into the game, but tall right-hander Colten Love was consistently erratic. He walked two batters in the bottom of the first inning, when East loaded the bases but failed to score. In the second he issued three more walks and Will Sapp’s twoout, run-scoring single to left field. But again, the Mustangs stranded three men. “We’ve been patient at the plate all year,” East catcher Luke Thomas said after going 2-for-3 with three RBIs. “In our last game (Friday’s first-round win over Con-

Blunder benefits Braves Associated Press

ATLANTA — The Braves struggled with the fundamentals in the ninth inning. No worries. David Wright made the biggest blunder of all. After failing twice to get down sacrifice bunts, Atlanta still beat the New York Mets 3-2 when Wright’s throwing error allowed pinch-runner Brent Clevlen to trot home with the winning run Tuesday night. Brian McCann opened the bottom of the ninth with a single off Pedro Feliciano, the Braves’ first baserunner since the third. New York pitchers had retired 16 in a row until McCann reached and was replaced by Clevlen. Yunel Escobar fouled off two attempts at a sacrifice bunt against Jenrry Mejia but managed something even better — a walk. Melky Cabrera fell into an 0-2 hole, fouling off two more bunt tries, then hit a high chopper toward Wright. The third baseman threw on the run, but the ball tailed into Cabrera and got by first baseman Ike Davis. “When Melky got in the hole 0-2, he had to fight hard to get the ball in play,” Atlanta’s Chipper Jones said. “Fortunately, he hit the ball right where he wanted to get down the bunt.” Clevlen came in with the winning run while the ball rolled down the rightfield line, making a winner of Billy Wagner (3-0) against his former team. In addition to his throwing error, Wright struck out three times — including in the top of the ninth with the potential go-ahead run at third and only one out. “It’s a tough, humbling game sometimes, and right now it is for me,” he said. “It’s tough, when somebody goes out there and is playing as poorly as I am right now and really costing us, both offensively and defensively.” Troy Glaus hit a two-run homer off Mets starter Johan Santana in the third. New York tied it in the fifth with solo homers by Davis and Jeff Francoeur. Reds 5, Brewers 4 CINCINNATI — Scott Rolen hit a tying, two-run homer in the ninth off closer Trevor Hoffman and Joey Votto delivered an RBI single off the wall. The first-place Reds pulled off their 10th win in their final at-bat. Milwaukee lost its eighth in a row, its worst slump since 2006. Hoffman (1-3) came on with a 4-2 lead and failed to retire any of the five batters he faced. Pirates 2, Phillies 1 PHILADELPHIA — Zach Duke outdueled Roy Halladay with a strong six innings, and the Pirates bullpen held on. Cardinals 3, Nationals 2 ST. LOUIS — Ryan Ludwick homered to snap an eighth-inning tie and reward a resourceful Chris Carpenter. Carpenter (5-1) had only one perfect inning and allowed his seventh homer in nine starts, matching the total he yielded last season. Cubs 6, Rockies 2 CHICAGO — Carlos Silva pitched six strong innings to remain unbeat-

en and Chicago overcame Todd Helton’s first home run of the season. Marlins 8, Diamondbacks 0 MIAMI — Brian Barden drove in two runs while replacing a benched Hanley Ramirez, helping Josh Johnson. AMERICAN LEAGUE Red Sox 7, Yankees 6 NEW YORK — Jeremy Hermida hit a tiebreaking, two-run double off Mariano Rivera in the ninth inning and Boston took advantage of two late errors to rally from five runs down. New York played the game under protest after beleaguered Boston ace Josh Beckett left with back tightness following Robinson Cano’s two-run double in the fifth that made it 5-0. The Yankees claimed there was no indication of an injury to Beckett to that point, but reliever Manny Delcarmen was given all the time he needed to warm up after the right-hander was removed. Beckett missed his previous turn in the rotation due to back spasms. An error by right fielder Marcus Thames, who hit the game-winning homer in the ninth Monday night off Jonathan Papelbon, helped the Red Sox win. Hermida, a defensive replacement, doubled off Rivera (0-1) to snap a 5-all tie. It was the second straight stumble for Rivera after 51 straight saves at home. Papelbon recovered from Marco Scutaro’s error at shortstop on Alex Rodriguez’s grounder leading off the ninth to finish with his 10th save after giving up two home runs Monday, a game won by New York 11-9. He gave up a run on Cano’s double but then got three tough outs. He threw up and in on Thames before walking him to put runners on first and third. But he got Juan Miranda to ground out back to the mound and struck out Randy Winn to end it after 4 hours, 9 minutes — the longest nine-inning game in the majors this season, according to STATS LLC. Rays 6, Indians 2 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Evan Longoria drove in three runs and David Price pitched six strong innings to become the AL’s first six-game winner. The AL East leaders improved baseball’s top record to 28-11 heading into a two-game series at Yankee Stadium. Rangers 8, Angels 7 ARLINGTON, Texas — Michael Young had three hits and three RBIs, including a tiebreaking single that sent Texas to a two-game sweep of L.A. Blue Jays 11, Twins 2 TORONTO — Edwin Encarnacion came off the disabled list and hit one of Toronto’s four home runs. White Sox 6, Tigers 2 DETROIT — Juan Pierre’s two-run double and run-saving catch in the fourth inning helped lead the White Sox. Freddy Garcia (3-2) gave up two runs over six innings, going five starts without a loss for the first time since the end of the 2006 season. Orioles 4, Royals 3 (10 innings) BALTIMORE — Nick Markakis singled in the winning run in the 10th. Baltimore trailed 3-0 in the fifth inning and 3-2 in the eighth.

Seth Gentry lets out a scream after wrapping up a comeback victory at No. 5 singles.

cord) we didn’t even have a hit through four innings. Tonight we just wanted to make (Love) throw strikes and work a little.” East starting pitcher Alex Bost tossed 3 1⁄3 innings of scoreless ball, but he walked two and yielded three singles. Hightower pulled him after Hunter Ridge’s Armondo Costaneda and Blake Sides delivered back-to-back hits in the top of the fourth. “Right now we’re just looking for our starters to give us three or four innings,” Hightower said. “Then we’re going to our bullpen, which has been good all year.” No one’s been better out of the pen than Johnson. The junior southpaw spelled Bost and immediately doused the flame, fanning designated hitter Tyler Graham and showing Love an inning-ending called third strike. “I just had to throw strikes,” Johnson said after pitching 22⁄3 innings of scoreless relief and improving to 5-0. “The rest of was my de-

CARSON FROM 1B

Catholic. It was all Catholic early. It slapped a parade of solid hits against Park, and Carson’s defense wasn’t sharp. Carson was fortunate to escape the first inning down 10. The unexpected solo bomb by Weise over the distant fence in left field made it 2-0. Park put up a scoreless third to stop the bleeding, mostly because he smothered a hot shot and started a double play from his knees. In the fourth, it looked like the game might get out of hand when Catholic filled the bases with none out via a double, an error and a walk. The walk ended Park’s night. Free entered. Danny Ryan ripped a run-scoring single to greet him, but from that point forward Free took over. Catholic wouldn’t score again. “There are times in a baseball game where momentum turns, and there’s just nothing you can do to stop it,” Belk said. “That was one of those moments. We had contact hitters up there and their kid

fense making plays.” Thomas never had a doubt. “To be honest, I wasn’t that worried about it,” he said. “This has been his role all year. You can always depend on Johnson.” The same goes for Thomas. In the last of the fourth, with teammates Sapp and Noah Holmes in scoring position, he yanked a sharp ground-ball single down the left-field line that made it 3-0. “Luke came up big in a big spot,” Hightower said. “That gave us a little bit of a cushion, which was nice.” East cracked the game open when it scored six times in the bottom of the fifth. Chris Jacobs and Wesley LeRoy triggered the rally with base hits, chasing Love after a laborious four-plus-inning stint that included eight walks. “Colten was just putting people on,” Knapp said. “He was playing with fire. Eventually you get burned.” Three HR relievers pitched more like arsonists than firemen. East paraded 12 batters to the plate and three of them — Holmes, Thomas and Jacobs — coaxed bases-loaded walks. Teammate Nathan Fulbright steered a two-out, RBI-

strikes out three straight.” It was a night of offensive frustration for Carson. Kyle Bridges doubled with two out in the third, but Grkman flied out deep to right. Zubillaga mashed a double to left-center that was a homer some places to start the fourth. His teammates couldn’t move him an inch. Carson finally scratched in the fifth when Zack Gragg blooped a single and scored from first on Bridges’ second double. That inning ended when Zubillaga hammered a ball up the middle with runners on the corners. Weise knocked the ball down and made the inning-ending play. Carson had runners at second and third with none out in the sixth, but settled for a single run — on a wild pitch. Catholic ace Daniel Stewart (8-0) relieved Weise with a 3-2 lead, one out and two on. He delivered. Snow slapped a grounder and Bearden was caught in a rundown between third and home for the second out. Gragg popped up for the third one. “I was inches from calling a squeeze there,” Carson coach Chris Cauble said. “Hindsight’s always 20/20, but

Seth Gentry and Alex Weant reSalisbury 6 d e e m e d Shelby 3 themselves by winning pressure-packed tiebreakers. Their victories put Austin Flynn in position to make amends for a singles misstep. Salisbury’s boys tennis team advanced to the 2A semifinals with a 6-3 win against visiting Shelby on Tuesday. Gentry and Weant pulled out third-set tiebreakers to give the Hornets a 4-2 lead at the end of singles play, and the second-seeded pairing of Flynn-Alan Lebowitz earned a 10-6 victory in the first completed doubles match. Salisbury (19-2) will be at home to face Newton-Conover (23-0) on Thursday in a Western final that’s a rematch of an April meeting the Red Devils won 7-2. The Hornets are in the 2A semis for the first time under 12th-year coach Chris Myers, who wasn’t sure what to expect after seeing Shelby (15-3) get off to a strong start. “It looked early on like this match was going to be over quickly, we wouldn’t have to play doubles and we were going to be saying we had a good season but came up a little short,” Myers said. “The way the boys turned it around, the way they persevered, it was remarkable.” Salisbury scratched first when Lebowitz posted a 6-1, 6-2 victory against third-seeded Dennis Beam, but Shelby’s Miles Poage answered with a 6-3, 6-3 decision against fourth-seeded Lewis Young. Salisbury’s Steven Page won 6-3, 6-4 at No. 1 against Ray Webb Parker, who trailed 3-0 in the second set before taking a 4-3 lead. Ben Cheaney’s 6-2, 7-5 victory against Flynn tied the match.

Alan Lebowitz, left, and Austin Flynn celebrate after winning a crucial point at No. 2 doubles. second set of his 0-6, 7-6 (7-3), (10-8) win over fifth-seeded Joseph Hendrick at that point. Gentry trailed 6-5 before forcing the first of two tiebreakers. “It was back and forth, back and forth,” Gentry said. “More consistency from me and more inconsistency from him, which brought my confidence up.” Gentry cruised in the second-set tiebreaker and fell behind 3-1 in the decisive one. He then stormed to a 9-3 lead, but Hendrick saved five match points. Gentry returned a hard-hit first serve with a 9-8 lead and let out a primal yell when a Hendrick shot went wide. “I was getting a little bit worried,” Gentry said. “Once you’re up that much and he comes back, you’re like, ‘Oh God, I’m doing something wrong,’ and try to fix it. I had to fix it, and luckily I did.” The third-set tiebreaker in Weant’s 6-3, 1-6, (10-3) victory against sixth-seeded Will Lutz was close to starting when Gentry exited the courts. Weant dropped the first point but claimed nine of the next 10.

“The first set was tiring, and he was hitting it pretty well,” Weant said. “It wore me out a lot. That second set, I felt the fatigue. The supertiebreaker, I just felt like, ‘Let’s give it all I’ve got.’ ” All three doubles matches were tight throughout, and Flynn-Lebowitz broke serve for a 5-3 lead in their 10-game pro set against Beam-Poage. The Lions had a break point against Lebowitz’s serve before Flynn hit a volley and overhead for winners. A service winner finished the game. “It was staying confident, keeping our focus and playing our game,” Lebowitz said. Flynn went into doubles upset with how his singles match had ended. He had four chances to close out the second set with a 5-3 lead but double-faulted on three of those occasions against Cheaney, who won the final four games. “I was so mad about singles,” Flynn said. “I missed six straight serves, and it was horrendous. I didn’t want to end my day like that. I just wanted to come back, and Alan was ready to go.”

SALISBURY POST

Singler, Smith Duke captains DURHAM — Duke has named seniors Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith as its captains for next season. Coach Mike Krzyzewski on Tuesday called the decision to name them this early “obvious” because “Nolan and Kyle are our leaders.” Singler was the Most Outstanding Player at the Final Four, and averaged nearly 18 points and seven rebounds in leading the Blue Devils to their fourth national championship. Smith averaged 17.4 points and was the most outstanding player in the South Regional after scoring a career-high 29 points in a win over Baylor that sent Duke to its first Final Four since 2004. The Blue Devils are 93-18 since Singler and Smith joined the program in 2007-08, and are 52-8 with both in the starting lineup.

PACK TRANSFERS

RALEIGH — Two of North Carolina State’s reserves say they are transferring. Wolfpack coach Sidney Lowe said Tuesday night that forward Josh Davis and guard Julius Mays were leaving the program in search of better opportunities elsewhere. Davis played 31 games during his freshman season but did not play in the final five games of the season. He averaged nearly 3 points and 2 rebounds in roughly 10 minutes per game. Mays primarily was the backup to Javier Gonzalez at point guard, but made six starts during two seasons. He averaged 4.7 points in 17 minutes.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida’s assistant coaches will earn $2.66 million in base salary in 2010, placing them near the top in the Southeastern Conference. The contracts were released Tuesday. Each of the nine assistants will receive a $10,000 bonus as part of the school’s apparel contract with Nike and have the use of a dealership car.

STRASBOURG, France — Top-seeded Maria Sharapova has her first claycourt victory of the season, struggling past Russia’s Regina Kulikova 6-3, 3-6, 61 in the first round of the Strasbourg International. Sharapova has been hampered by an injury to her right elbow this season and lost in the first round at Madrid last week. The former No. 1 player will next face Tatjana Malek of Germany or a qualifier. • PARIS — Martina Navratilova has a tiring schedule lined up for the French Open — radiation therapy for cancer, playing in a senior doubles event and calling matches on TV for Tennis Channel. Navratilova says that she is in her second week of treatments after being diagnosed this year with a noninvasive form of breast cancer and having a lumpectomy in March. She went public with her illness. Navratilova, 53, has been practicing at Roland Garros with doubles partner Jana

Novotna ahead of the fourteam mini-tournament they’ll participate in during the second week of the French Open.

BOL ILL

WASHINGTON — Former NBA center Manute Bol is hospitalized with severe kidney trouble and a painful skin condition after falling critically ill while returning home from helping fight election corruption in his native Sudan. “I believe he is going to survive this, but he’s had a total kidney failure,” Tom Prichard, director of Sudan Sunrise, a group that promotes reconciliation in Sudan, said Tuesday. “If he’d stayed two more days in Sudan, I don’t think he’d be alive right now.” Prichard says the 7-foot6 Bol was returning to the United States last week and was hospitalized during a stopover at Dulles International Airport.

NFL

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Chris Johnson now has some online fan support in his bid for a big pay hike from the Tennessee Titans to reward him for his record-setting season. A new petition titled “Pay CJ2K (Get Chris Johnson A New Contract)” has been set up to support Johnson and had 64 signatures by Tuesday afternoon. Johnson is staying away from the Titans’ offseason program after becoming the sixth player in NFL history to run for at least 2,000 yards and earning The Associated Press 2009 NFL Offensive Player of the Year award. He signed a five-year, $12 million deal in 2008 as the 24th draft pick overall. He is due to earn $550,000 in 2010. He must like the petition too. He retweeted the link Tuesday to his more than 73,000 followers on Twitter. • TEMPE, Ariz. — Arizona Cardinals defensive tackle Darnell Dockett has apologized for posting an online streaming video of him taking a shower. Dockett, a second-team All-Pro selection and Pro Bowl starter last season, found himself in hot water after taking a shower live on the Ustream site to win a $1,000 bet. He said after the first day of the Cardinals’ voluntary workouts on Tuesday that at first he thought it was a joke but added “obviously it’s not.”

FORBES, YANKS

NEW YORK — Yankees fans have another title to crow about. The franchise that has won 27 World Series championships is now the most valuable brand in sports, according to Forbes magazine. The New York Yankees name alone was judged to be worth $328 million toward the team’s overall value, Forbes said in an article published online Tuesday. The magazine says the Yankees are worth $1.6 billion. The Yankees beat out another team with a massive worldwide fanbase, English soccer team Manchester United, thanks to increased merchandise sales, improved local TV ratings on their own network, and the falling value of the British pound.

Washington Wizards owner Irene Pollin reacts as she wins the NBA draft lottery.

Wizards get first pick Associated Press

SECAUCUS, N.J. — With a lucky charm from the franchise’s best days, the Washington Wizards won the NBA’s draft lottery Tuesday night. Washington moved up from the No. 5 spot to earn the top pick in next month’s draft, when it will likely choose between Kentucky freshman John Wall and national player of the year Evan Turner of Ohio State. The Philadelphia 76ers, another disappointment this season, moved up from the sixth spot to grab the No. 2 pick. The New Jersey Nets continued the run of failure by teams with the best chance of winning, falling to the third. The Wizards were represented by Irene Pollin, who wore the 1978 Bullets championship ring of her late husband, longtime owner Abe

Pollin. When the Wizards pulled off the surprising win, Irene Pollin’s jaw dropped and appeared to mouth ’Oh my God!!’ with wide eyes. Abe Pollin died at age 85 in November. “My husband wanted another (championship) so badly,” she said. “He really did. So maybe this will be the beginning of another one.” The lottery victory is just about the only thing that has gone right in a disastrous year for the Wizards, marred by the suspension of All-Star Gilbert Arenas for bringing guns into the Verizon Center locker room. They finished 2656 after being widely forecast to finish in the middle of the Eastern Conference. Represented by new owner Mikhail Prokhorov, the Nets had a 25 percent chance of winning after going 12-70. Instead, the team with the worst record still hasn’t won

PHILADELPHIA — Michael Flyers 3 Leighton is Canadiens 0 for real — and he has all those zeros to prove it. Leighton stopped 30 shots and recorded his second straight shutout, and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Montreal Canadiens 3-0 on Tuesday night to take a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals. “We’re in a great situation,”

Leighton said. “I’m not trying to think so much.” His season was considered over once he went down with an ankle injury in mid-March. Now, Leighton has the Flyers two wins away from their first Stanley Cup finals appearance since 1997. Leighton is the first Flyers goalie to record consecutive playoff shutouts since Bernie Parent in 1975. His shutout streak of 165:50 is the secondlongest in team history behind Brian Boucher’s 184:45 in its run to the East finals in 2000.

since 2004, when the Orlando Magic selected Dwight Howard. Asked before the lottery about potentially changing the system to keep teams from losing on purpose to improve their probability of winning, commissioner David Stern said he thinks, “the results of the lottery, if anything, are causing teams with the worst record to feel as though a paucity of wins is not being adequately recognized and compensated.” The NBA draft is June 24 in New York. Philadelphia brought its own lucky charm, a used hockey stick from the Philadelphia Flyers’ rally from 3-0 down to stun the Boston Bruins in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Still looking for a coach after firing former Wizards coach Eddie Jordan, they stand to grab either Turner or Wall.

Stern excited about July’s free agents Associated Press

The NBA notebook ... SECAUCUS, N.J. — NBA commissioner David Stern says the excitement surrounding free agency might force him to hide in his office until players such as LeBron James decide where to play next season. James could lead one of the deepest free agent classes in years, with Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Amare Stoudemire all eligible to walk. Stern says he expects a great finals, an interesting draft and “then Katie bar the door in July. ... I’m just going to hide in the office and let it all roll out.” PLEASE STAY CLEVELAND — They’re saying it on billboards, in song, in letters, in petitions and more. Whatever the format, the message from Clevelanders is the same: Dear LeBron James, please don’t go. Residents of hard-luck

CELTICS

FROM 1B

The Celtics buckled down just enough to hold on late in this one. Ahead 11 points to start the fourth quarter, that almost wasn’t enough. The Magic, just as they did in Game 1, found their rhythm late. They went on a 13-4 run to trim Boston’s lead to 85-83 with about six minutes left. Carter’s jumper with 4:05 remaining gave Orlando a 9089 lead with 3:35 remaining,

Cleveland are desperately trying to show their NBA superstar that even with free agency looming July 1, the best place for him is right up the road from his hometown of Akron, Ohio. “He’s a hometown guy. We definitely want to put that on his conscience,” said 23-year-old Austin Briggs, of Cleveland Heights, cofounder of the Web site pleasedontleave23.com.Want to join the band wagon? You can sign a “Stay LeBron” petition right on the hood of Brigg’s souped-up 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, dubbed the “Witness Mobile.” There are “stay LeBron” banners, clothes, a petition and at least two music videos, one featuring the Cleveland Orchestra and another with local celebrities and politicians. The other places James could land, including New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, also are trying to woo him. LA Clipper fans are

even planning a parade in his honor. SUNS-LAKERS LOS ANGELES — Channing Frye says he’s just grateful an NBA playoff series doesn’t follow the Tour de France’s rules. After a humbling blowout loss in the Western Conference finals opener, Frye and the Suns were upbeat Tuesday at their Staples Center workout following the Los Angeles Lakers’ 128-107 victory in the opener. Phoenix is confident it can hit more open shots tonight. KARL BETTER DENVER — Nuggets coach George Karl has started showing up at work on occasion and getting out more as he slowly recovers from throat cancer and its complications. Kim Van Deraa, Karl’s life partner, said that Karl’s energy level is slowly rising and that he is still using a feeding tube for most of his nutrition but occasionally eats peaches.

and then the Celtics summoned their championship form again. Kevin Garnett and Rondo made consecutive jumpers, and after Nelson made a layup, Pierce answered with two free throws that put Boston ahead by three. Carter missed two free throws with 31.9 seconds left that cost Orlando dearly. Only another footnote for Boston’s remarkable history. Two years removed from their 17th NBA championship, the Celtics, once thought too old to contend for another title, have found their footing

again. After ousting LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, the team with the league’s best record, Boston is showing no signs of stopping. “Just think our mindset was to be ready for the type of intensity they would bring after losing at home,” Pierce said. “We know the Magic are a talented team and we won’t take these two wins for granted.” Boston again started fast. The Celtics, who took a 20-point lead in Game 1, went ahead by 11 in the first quarter.

Leighton stops Montreal as Flyers win Associated Press

The NASCAR notebook ... CHARLOTTE— NASCAR driver Brian Vickers is responding positively to treatment for blood clots in his legs and near his lungs. Red Bull Racing says the 26-year-old is “progressing well” after being hospitalized in Washington last week. Vickers has been meeting with specialists and his physician since returning to Charlotte. Vickers is still undergoing evaluation. Red Bull says Vickers remains in good spirits, though his return to racing is uncertain. Casey Mears served as Vickers’ replacement in last weekend’s race at Dover, finishing 22nd. ICKLER TO RACE CONCORD — Roush Fenway Racing has signed Brian Ickler to run in next week’s Nationwide race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Ickler will drive the No. 16 Ford usually driven by Colin Braun for the race. Ickler will ICKLER also participate in testing at Daytona International Speedway this week for Roush Fenway. The 24-year-old has two top-five finishes in two NASCAR Truck Series starts this year. Team owner Jack Roush said Braun will get back in the No. 16 and compete in 14 more races through the end of the season. SACKS IS BACK MOORESVILLE — Veteran NASCAR driver Greg Sacks is returning to the track. Sacks will drive the No. 88 car for JR Motorsports during the NASCAR Nationwide race at Daytona on July 2. The 57-year-old Sacks hasn’t raced in the Nationwide Series since 2004. His return marks the beginning of a two-year partnership between JR Motorsports and Grand Touring Vodka, which Sacks helped found.

Danny Briere and Simon Gagne scored power-play goals, and Ville Leino also scored for the Flyers. “We all feel like we haven’t played our best games yet,” Briere said. “We still have more in the tank.” The Flyers have won six straight postseason games and look to keep it going in Game 3 on Thursday at Montreal. The Flyers have scored 13 straight goals in the postseason since trailing 3-0 in Game 7 against Boston in the East

semifinals. Leighton has been impeccable since taking over for an injured Boucher in Game 5 of the semis. The Flyers haven’t won the Stanley Cup since the second of their consecutive championships in 1975. Leighton was tested from the opening faceoff as the Canadiens outplayed the Flyers most of the first two periods. He turned away a ferocious slapshot from P.K. Subban in the first period to set an early tone of denial.

MAYFIELD FROM 1B

He argued at various points in his defense that his positive test stemmed from a mix of an over-thecounter allergy medication and prescription drug Adderall, that NASCAR’s testing system was flawed and that NASCAR did not follow federal guidelines in its testing methods. Mayfield sued for breach of contract, discrimination and defamation and won an injunction last July to participate in NASCAR. He never attempted to make a race, and the suspension was reinstated after he failed a second random drug test. Mullen’s ruling Tuesday was in response to a motion NASCAR made last November to dismiss the suit based on pleadings already submitted. There was no hearing.

Unusual GERD symptoms plague reader

Take the safe road, not the switchback BY PHILLIP ALDER

United Feature Syndicate

Journalist, author and humorist Erma Bombeck, who died in 1996, said, "When my kids become wild and unruly, I use a nice, safe playpen. When they're finished, I climb out." In today's deal, you need to find the safe line of play; otherwise, the children -- your opponents -- will make off with the plus score. You are in three no-trump. West leads his fourth-highest heart to East's 10 and your queen. What now? Unless you have a sequence to describe that North hand (showing 1-3-4-5 or 1-3-5-4 distribution), just jump to three no-trump, keeping it simple. In three no-trump, you have eight top tricks: two hearts (given the opening lead), two diamonds and four clubs. It is tempting to attack diamonds. But if you immediately finesse dummy's diamond jack, you go down. East takes his queen and returns his second heart, which establishes West's suit while he has an instant entry in the spade ace. Yes, you are unlucky that diamonds are 4-1, but there is a better play. Lead a diamond to dummy's ace, return with a club to your hand, then play another diamond, planning to finesse dummy's nine. But when West discards, you will realize that you must abandon diamonds. Win with dummy's diamond king and run dummy's spade

10. West wins with his queen, but he cannot play another heart without giving you a ninth trick. He probably returns a club. Win that in your hand and drive out the spade ace to get home.

CBS canceling ‘Cold Case,’ 6 other series LOS ANGELES (AP) — CBS is moving aggressively to shake up its 2010-11 season, canceling “Cold Case,” “Ghost Whisperer” and five other series. According to a person familiar with the changes, other canceled shows include “Numb3rs,” “The New Adventures of Old Christine,” “Gary Unmarried,” “Miami Medical” and “Accidentally on Purpose.” The person, who wasn’t authorized to discuss the changes publicly, spoke on condition of anonymity. The wholesale axings came as a surprise, given the respectable ratings earned by some of the shows.

Dear Dr. Gott: I was prescribed omeprazole 20 milligrams daily following an upper endoscopy. I have been taking this medication for almost a year and have been told that it inhibits the absorption of calcium. I DR. PETER was diagnosed with GOTT GERD and a hiatal hernia, plus two small stomach ulcers. I’m a 62year-old female and have in the past been prescribed Evista, which my doctor took me off after one year and a sufficient bone-density test. Should I continue to take the omeprazole? I have severe stomach cramps that are debilitating for about three days and also vomiting about once a month, even with the medication. Dear Reader: Gastroesophageal reflux disease occurs when the muscle that separates the stomach from the esophagus fails to close properly or is weakened, allowing a backwash of stom-

ach acid into the esophagus. Hiatal hernia occurs as a result of increased abdominal pressure caused by sudden physical exertion, vomiting, coughing, obesity, increased abdominal pressure and excess fluid in the abdomen. A small 2002 study of 18 women over the age of 65 reported the concomitant use of omeprazole with calcium carbonate when taken without food decreased calcium absorption in elderly women. It contradicted a study a few years earlier from Tufts in which omeprazole was found not to interfere with calcium, zinc or phosphorous absorption. The medication your physician recommended is to reduce the amount of acid produced. Common symptoms of GERD include chest, neck and arm pain, breathing difficulties, dry cough, difficulty swallowing, burning or pressure and bad breath. Debilitating stomach cramps and vomiting are uncommon. Speak with your physician to rule out other possible causes or health conditions and to determine whether you should

continue or discontinue the omeprazole. TDear Dr. Gott: What can you tell me about relapsing polychondritis? I can’t find much help on the Web. I’ve had flare-ups three times a year for years, affecting one ear and sometimes both at the same time. Surprisingly, my last episode was three years ago, and it lasted six weeks, but now I am dealing with it again. The condition gets painful before it gets better. Dear Reader: Polychondritis is a chronic, progressive, inflammatory autoimmune reaction of cartilage in various tissues of the body, including the ears, nose, spine, trachea and joints. The eyes, blood vessels, skin and heart, while not formed by cartilage, have a similar makeup and can also be involved. Symptoms typically begin with one or both ears becoming red, swollen and painful. Diagnosis is made when a healthcare provider observes eye inflammation, hearing or balance problems, bilateral ear inflammation, painful swelling in more than one joint and

damage to cartilage in the respiratory tract. Laboratory testing to include an ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) can provide pertinent evidence when inflammation is present. Mild relapsing polychronditis is commonly treated with NSAIDs (nonstereroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). As symptoms become more troublesome, they are treated with daily prednisone on a tapering basis. Severe cases are treated with prescription cyclosporine, azathioprine or cyclophosphamide. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books. “We Want To Be Your Flower Shop”

Many opportunities will come your way in the year ahead, but whether or not you will take advantage of any of them will be up to you. It behooves you to be smart and industrious enough to take on as many as you can. Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Unless you are diligent regarding how you spend your money, you are likely to get careless and start incurring big bills on unnecessary items. Rein in your credit cards Gemini (May 21-June 20) - Being attracted to items of novel artistic expression might cause you to focus on goals that are full of empty promises. Be particularly careful at work. Cancer (June 21-July 22) - Be on guard should an associate who has barely noticed you in the past suddenly takes an interest in you. Chances are s/he has an ulterior motive that might cost you something. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Take care when involved in a collective endeavor, so that not one person is permitted to use the joint effort to his/her sole advantage. Someone among you might be a manipulator trying to do just that. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - It’s good to set big goals for yourself, but failure is likely to result if even one is more than you can handle. Be realistic to begin with, and you shouldn’t experience failure. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - You’ll fare far better if you focus only on your own efforts, and not on how much others are doing. Unless you’re the boss, the industriousness of co-workers should be of no concern to you. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - When it comes to your financial affairs, there is a good chance you could be a bit of a dreamer today. You might be somewhat inclined to believe what you want rather than in cold, hard facts. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Your optimistic spirit is wonderful, but because this could make you somewhat gullible, it might not be one of your better days to go shopping for a big-ticket item. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - A serious issue about which you might be a bit too complacent could drift off in the wrong direction today. Should it bog down, you’ll have a difficult time getting it unstuck. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Owing to the mishandling of your funds, this could be another one of those days when you find yourself broke and unable to join in fun and games with others. Eventually you’ll learn. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) - If you let your guard down in handling a situation that requires both tact and compassion, you could end up making a poor impression on the very people you’re trying to impress. Aries (March 21-April 19) - In seeking a bit of excitement, you might go overboard with flirting. You could create problems by turning your charms on someone who takes it seriously.
