Technology in schools on display BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
SPENCER — Kristy Wood remembers when high-tech meant having a TRS-80 Color Computer from Radio Shack. Saturday, Wood joined hundreds of other parents at the Rowan-Salisbury Schools technology showcase to marvel at the computers and tools now available to students. “It’s overwhelming, really, compared to what we grew up with,” Wood said. Video cameras, iPods, iPads, laptops, biotechnology instruments and more filled classrooms at North Rowan High School. Wood watched as her son Michael, a seventh-grader at North Rowan Middle
School, used a laptop to complete complex math problems she didn’t tackle until 10th grade. Between the students and staff who put on the showcase and the parents, teachers and elected officials who visited, close to 1,000 people participated in the inaugural event, “Technology Matters: What’s Right with Public Education.” WOOD “I am thrilled and overwhelmed by the response,” Superintendent Dr. Judy Grissom said. “I woke up in the middle of the night and thought, what if
no one comes after all this work.” Carl Ford, vice chairman of the Rowan County Board of Commissioners, called the turnout “unbelieveable.” “It means everybody wants to see what’s going on,” Ford said. Each of the system’s 35 schools, plus several departments, used a classroom. Rather than simply putting iPhoto books and podcasts on display, students from each school demonstrated how they use the technology in their classrooms. In the West Rowan Middle School room, students easily wielded multiple technological tools, including producing one-

Lottery may not fund scholarships any longer Visiting Salisbury’s key Civil War sites
Budget proposal would shift community college money to schools for construction BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
See map with descriptions and photos of Salisbury’s Civil War sites.
he Civil War held some of the darkest days in history for Salisbury, the South and the Union. Salisbury’s own Burton Craige introduced the ordinance of secession May 20, 1861, when during a convention vote, North Carolina joined sister states of the South in the newly formed Confederacy. During the war, Salisbury became home for a Confederate prison that toward war’s end MARK would be a horrific WINEKA place of disease, starvation and death. Salisbury also was a significant transportation and supply center for the Confederacy, making it a target in April 1865 for Union Gen. George Stoneman’s Raiders. Over two days, the Union forces captured and occupied Salisbury, while destroying the prison, key Confederate warehouses, the arsenal, distillery, depot and wagon loads of supplies heaped into large piles on Main Street. With the items ignited, the fire could be seen as far away as Statesville. Stoneman’s arrival came three days after Gen. Robert E. Lee’s surrender at Appomattox, and his departure from Salisbury came three days before President Lincoln’s assassination in Washington, D.C. Rowan County provided more than 2,800 soldiers to the Confederate cause. In today’s Post, you’ll find a map, photographs and 20 points of Civil War interest. The Insight section has a pretty tough Civil War quiz. Online, in 10 videos, Rowan County residents visit several of the sites that correspond with the Salisbury map.

SALISBURY — More than 600 RowanCabarrus Community College students could be looking for a new source to fund their education. The House-drafted state budget proposal would eliminate lottery scholarships for community college students, shifting that money to counties for school construction. Lisa Ledbetter, the college’s director of financial aid, said 625 students received a total of $576,733 in lottery scholarships his academic year. “These funds are distributed to needy students that are not eligible for a significant amount of federal grant funds,” she said. “It certainly would be missed.” Gaye McConnell, vice president of enrollment management and student services, said the loss of the scholarships would likely force students to take out loans, leaving them in debt. “With the move to student loans, our community college students will need to have increased financial literacy to understand the impact of student loans on their overall credit rating,” she said. “Students will also have to be aware of the repayment plans and the impact on their student loan ceiling, should they transfer to pursue a bachelors degree.” McConnell said the RCCC Foundation is working to increase scholarships to students, but the number available by this fall will not be able to offset the funding lost by the elimination of the lottery scholarships. “All in all the loss of this funding has a very negative impact on the community college students,” she said. • • • Despite the House move to eliminate community college lottery scholarships, local school construction would still get just 23 percent of the lottery revenues. Counties were originally promised a 40 percent slice of the pie for school construction, but lawmakers have tinkered with the formula. Last year, counties received 25 percent. Rowan County Manager Gary Page said the county received $2.6 million in lottery funds in 2009-10. Although Page expected to receive the same $2.6 million in 2010-11, the county actually received $1.7 million in lottery revenue after Gov. Bev Perdue shifted the money to save teacher jobs. “The county had to use $900,000 of fund balance money because we still owed the bank the money for the debt on the buildings,” he said. Rowan County uses all of its lottery money for school construction to pay bond debt. The $77 million in bonds that taxpayers approved in 2002 paid for the construction of Carson High School and Millbridge, Koontz and Shive elementary schools. The county budget for 2011-12 includes $1.7 million in lottery revenues, but the proposed House budget would allocate about $1.4 million, Page said.

Steen said he hopes Senate leaders will be able to come up with a way to get the lottery formula closer to its original form, which called for half of net proceeds to go to fund teacher salaries to help reduce class size, 40 percent to local school construction and 10 percent to need-based college scholarships. “The pie was cut up perfectly when it started,” he said. “Now, counties have got this debt, they have allocated money and they have counted on that money and we are pulling the rug out from under them. “I voted against (the lottery) because I felt like it would be somebody’s slush fund and that’s what it has turned into.” Rep. Tim Moore, R-Cleveland, who proposed the elimination of community college scholarships to support school construction, has said he didn’t realize the potential harm to community college students until after the budget vote. He expects some changes in the Senate version of the plan. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
Page said there are several options to deal with that $300,000 difference. Commissioners can increase property taxes, Page can cut an additional four or five positions from the county payroll or the money can be taken from the county’s fund balance. “I’ve got three options, but none of them are good,” he said. “In the beginning, the money was supposed to go to education, but systematically the governor and the legislators have used it to balance the budget. “If it’s going to be a state lottery, they need to call it a state lottery and stop calling it an education lottery.” • • • Page said he has sat down with Rep. Fred Steen, RRowan, and Rep. Harry Warren, R-Rowan, to discuss how the proposed House budget will impact the county. “We need to try to be partners with them and try to figure out solutions as we go forward with budgeting,” Steen said Friday. “We hear them loud and clear and we’re tryContact reporter Sarah ing to take care of it.” Campbell at 704-797-7683.

pride? God said he resists the proud and gives grace to the humble.” At Chicago’s Millennium Park, hours before 6 p.m. arrived locally, people continued to take photographs of the famed Cloud Gate as they do every other Saturday — and poked fun at the Judgment Day prophecy. “I guess the whole school thing was a waste of time,” said Sarah Eaton, a 19-yearold college student visiting the city from St. Paul, Minn. The Internet also was alive with discussion, humorous or not, about the end of the world and its apparent failure to occur on cue.

Camping, the destruction was likely to have begun its worldwide march as it became 6 p.m. in the various time zones, although some believers said Saturday the exact timing was never written in stone. In New York’s Times Square, Robert Fitzpatrick, of Staten Island, said he was surprised when 6 p.m. simply came and went. He had spent his own money to put up advertising about the end of the world. “I can’t tell you what I feel right now,” he said, surrounded by tourists. “I don’t understand it. I don’t know. I don’t understand what happened. “Obviously, I haven’t understood it correctly because we’re still here,” he said. Many followers said the delay was a further test from God to persevere in their faith. “It’s still May 21 and God’s going to bring it,” said Family Radio’s special projects coordinator Michael Garcia, who spent Saturday morning praying and drinking two last cups of coffee with his wife at home in Alameda. “When you say something and it doesn’t happen, your pride is what’s hurt.

Members of the calvary Bible church of Milpitas gather saturday at the closed Family radio station offices of Harold camping in oakland, calif.
at midday included, at No. 1, “endofworldconfessions,” followed by “myraptureplaylist.” Camping’s radio stations, TV channels, satellite broadcasts and website are controlled from a modest building sandwiched between an auto shop and a palm reader’s business. Family Radio International’s message has been broadcast in 61 languages. He has said that his earlier apocalyptic prediction in 1994 didn’t come true because of a mathematical error. “I’m not embarrassed about it. It was just the fact that it was premature,” he told the Associated Press last month. But this time, he said, “there is ... no possibility that it will not happen.” Camping has preached that some 200 million people would be saved, and that those left behind would die in a series of scourges visiting Earth. Christian leaders from across the spectrum widely dismissed the prophecy. One local church was concerned that Camping’s followers could slip into a deep depression by today. Pastor Jacob Denys of Milpitas-based Calvary Bible Church planned to wait outside the nonprofit’s headquarters to counsel believers who may be disillusioned. “The cold, hard reality is going to hit them that they did this, and it was false and they basically emptied out everything to follow a false teacher,” he said. “We’re not all about doom and gloom. Our message is a message of salvation and of hope.”

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — They spent months warning the world of the apocalypse, some giving away earthly belongings or draining their savings accounts. And so they waited, vigilantly, on Saturday for the appointed hour to arrive. When 6 p.m. came and went across the continental U.S. and various spots around the globe, and no extraordinary cataclysm occurred, some believers expressed confusion, while others reassured each of their faith. Still, some others took it in stride. “I had some skepticism but I was trying to push the skepticism away because I believe in God,” said Keith Bauer — who hopped in his minivan in Maryland and drove his family 3,000 miles to California for the Rapture. He started his day in the bright morning sun outside the gated Oakland headquarters of Family Radio International, whose founder, Harold Camping, has been broadcasting the apocalyptic prediction for years. “I was hoping for it because I think heaven would be a lot better than this earth.” But he added, “It’s God who leads you, not Harold Camping.” Bauer, a tractor-trailer driver, began the voyage west last week, figuring that if he “worked last week, I wouldn’t have gotten paid anyway, if the Rapture did happen.” After seeing the nonprofit ministry’s base of operations, Bauer planned to take a day trip to the Pacific Ocean, and then start the cross-country drive back home Sunday with his wife, young son and another family relative. The May 21 doomsday message was sent far and wide via broadcasts and websites by Camping, an 89-yearold retired civil engineer who has built a multi-million-dollar Christian media empire that publicizes his apocalyptic prediction.

Let’s Get Connected Day celebrates peace and unity BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — “Just Imagine … A World At Peace.” That slogan captured the spirit which underscored the eighth annual Let’s Get Connected Day. The celebration, held Saturday at Kelsey Scott Park, brought more than 150 people to sing and pray for peace and unity. People of faith from different traditions gathered for prayers around the Peace Pole, which carries a message of peace in eight languages.
Abdul Kareem Shakoor opened by singing the Adhan, the Islamic call to prayer. Christian, Buddhist and American Indian prayers followed, all with the same core message: peace, understanding and blessings. “Help us to understand what is new or different,” said Mike Clawson, member of Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, in his prayer. “In your name, we seek to create a community of inclusion, where every difference is honored,” Clawson said. Ruth Chaparro Kennerly prayed in Spanish, for peace
in our families, schools and communities. Yoshiko Otey prayed, first in Japanese and then in English, for peace and blessings for those who were suffering due to wars and natural disasters. Seth Labovitz offered a Jewish blessing in Hebrew and English. Finally, organizer Betty Jo Hardy dedicated the monument. “The people of Salisbury, Rowan County, North Carolina, USA, dedicate this pole to peace on behalf of all people, all places,” Hardy said. It is now one of five such
markers around Rowan County, visible reminders of the community’s hope. Before and after the dedication and prayers, those who gathered enjoyed music, poetry, dance and fellowship. Among the performers were the African drum and dance team of Salisbury High School and Las Chicas Latinas, a local dance team. County Commissioner Raymond Coltrain and Salisbury Mayor Pro Tem Maggie Blackwell offered proclamations from the boards on HugH fisHer/for the sAlisbury post which they sit.

SALISBURY — At some point while caddying at Carolina Golf and Country Club in Charlotte during the mid 1940s, Dr. Charles “Charlie” L. Sifford realized he had a pretty good swing. “We didn’t have golf in school when I was there, and blacks weren’t allowed to play at the country club,” Sifford said. “I started playing golf because I loved the game, and I love it because it requires you to use your brain.” Sifford integrated the Professional Golf Association in 1961, paving the way for Lee Elder to become the first black man to play in the Master’s Tournament in 1975 and for Tiger Woods to eventually dominate the game. In 2004, Sifford became the first black man to be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. Sifford, 88, will headline Livingstone College’s Sixth Annual Faith-Based Celebrity Golf Tournament, being held at the Country Club of Salisbury on June 24. Tournament organizers are ecstatic over having the golf legend at their event. “I think it’s very fitting that a golfer and humanitarian of his stature would team with Livingstone College, which for 132 years has also served as a beacon of light,” said Dr. CHARLIE SIFFORD Herman J. Felton Jr., vice president of institutional advancement. “Both Dr. Sifford and the college demonstrate the endless possibilities that can come about with access to opportunities.” Felton said he hopes for great participation from folks in Rowan and neighboring counties. “Given Dr. Sifford’s 2004 induction into the Hall of Fame with the likes of Tom Kite and others, I hope individuals will come out and share in a worthwhile cause with one of the greatest golfers who was instrumental in creating opportunities for all people, not just African-Americans, to enjoy this game.” Brodie Waters, director of member relations for the World Golf Hall of Fame, said Sifford has left an indelible mark on golf. “He’s obviously been a great addition to our Hall of Fame,” Waters said. “He’s in the Hall of Fame in the lifetime achievement category for his impact to the game, not just for the doors he opened for African-Americans but also because his story has been inspirational to youth of all races …” Waters said Sifford embodies perseverance and integrity. “He has been a great promoter of the game,” Waters said. “He was certainly one of the first African-Americans to break the color barrier. He was the first to play in a PGA tour event, and he was the first African-American to be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. He didn’t necessarily have the amount of wins that some of the others golfers have, but you could also make the argument he didn’t have the opportunity to play as much as they did given the challenges he faced. There’s a whole group of pioneers, if you will, and Dr. Sifford is certainly at the top of that list with

Chevrolet dealer holds fundraiser for Rowan Helping Ministries SALISBURY— Team Chevrolet is giving a “helping hand” to Rowan Helping Ministries.

Kristin Haynes, the event planner, had high hopes for the event. “This is a contestant judgment of an auto show, which means everyone that enters is

He faced things most of us can’t imagine.” In a recent interview Sifford, mentioned playing in a tournament in Greensboro decades ago. “I was called to come to Greensboro to play in The Greensboro Open, and I took them up on their invitation,” Sifford said. “I was happy to get the invitation and wanted to see what would happen if I actually went down there and played because it would be the first time blacks played with whites in the South. It was tough, but I wanted to do it. Somebody had to do it.” Sifford said he was encouraged to go by his late wife, Rose. She said ‘Go down there. They won’t bother you.’ She was right. No one bothered me.” Although he’ll turn 89 on June 2, Sifford still plays golf occasionally. In fact, he competed in The Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf Tournament in Savannah, Ga., last month. Sifford’s participation in Livingstone’s tournament

It was incorporated as a nonprofit organization on Sept. 18, 1986, and in December of 1989, all programs were relocated to 226 N. Long Street. During the

Jenkins Sr.” The Faith-Based Golf Tournament is one of Livingstone College’s biggest fundraisers. The Washington, D.C., chapter of the Livingstone College National Alumni Association also holds an annual golf tournament to raise money for the school. “It’s not every day that someone who changed history comes to Livingstone College, and we are certainly honored that Dr. Sifford has agreed to participate in our tournament,” Jenkins said. “I look forward to getting a chance to talk with him and am certain those who participate in our event will be glad they did. I truly hope parents will recognize the significance of Dr. Sifford and make it a point to bring their children out for a chance to meet him.” It seems Sifford’s legend keeps growing. Black people weren’t allowed to play at Revolution Park Golf Course in Charlotte until 1957 — when Sifford was 35 years old. On May 3, the course was officially renamed

He said he’d like to see more black people playing golf, especially at the professional level. “I’m quite sure there are some black kids who could be out there playing, but it’s got to be up to the individual,” Sifford said. “Do you want to put forth the effort?”

We had a rain delay this time, so some car owners had to attend other auto shows elsewhere,” Dillard said. “But we are doing this for the community and our sponsors have been great, so we plan for a
good time.” This year, Helping Ministries will serve more than 70,000 meals in the soup kitchen and shelter; they will also distribute over 285,000 pounds of groceries.

“The best thing about this gathering is that people come for the best reason,” Blackwell said. “They’re not just here to be seen.” She said the event’s growth over most of the last decade shows how many different people and traditions make up the city. “It’s probably one of my favorite events of the year,” Blackwell said. Former Salisbury Mayor Bill Stanback was one of those who offered a prayer for peace and unity. “To have so many different cultures, different faiths, and to see us together like this is great,” Stanback said. After singing “Let There Be Peace on Earth,” three white doves were released. Shakoor said he hoped those who gathered would know the desire of people like himself for peace. The words of the Islamic call to prayer, he said, have been used by terrorists, but that does not make them words of terror. “I hope that the people take away with them the concept of the universality of peaceful brotherhood, through prayer and work,” Shakoor said. “Helping the homeless, reaching out to children.” Many families brought their children and grandchildren out to the event, which ended with free food and refreshments provided by Moores Chapel AME Zion Church and local sponsors. “I’m glad they gave us an opportunity to focus, to bring people of all ethnic backgrounds together,” said Cynthia McKnight, who attended the event with members of her family. “In times of trouble, with the recession and high gas prices, we need some kind of stability,” she said. Eli Collier, 10, participated in the program. After the ceremony concluded, he joined other children and adults in adding his name and handprint to a banner of witnesses to the event. “I got to play with some friends, and meet new friends,” Collier said. The lesson he learned Saturday: “If we can’t live peacefully, no one can make friends and have a joyful life,” he said.

1. Old Rowan County Courthouse — 202 N. Main St. This 1854 building served as the county’s legal center until 1914. According to some historical accounts, the courthouse was spared from the torches associated with Gen. George Stoneman’s invasion thanks to pleas from fellow Masons.
4. Confederate Monument — in the median at Church and Innes streets. This memorial was dedicated May 10, 1909, and the dedication service included 162 Confederate veterans and Mrs. Stonewall Jackson. The United Daughters of the Confederacy erected the bronze grouping to honor the Confederate soldiers from Rowan County. The Frederick W. Ruckstuhl sculpture, made in Brussels and shown in Paris before arriving in the States, originally cost $10,000. Its restoration in 1990 cost $14,000. The soldier depicted in the grouping with Fame is based on a real person, Henry Howard Cooke of Tennessee, who later became a judge. 5. Josephus Hall House — 226 S. Jackson St. Dr. Hall was the first medical officer of the Confederate prison, serving from 1861 to 1865. He also served other hospitals in Salisbury. His pardon, signed by President Andrew Johnson, hangs on an upstairs wall of the home. 6. Gov. John W. Ellis House — 200 S. Ellis St. Ellis was governor when the state joined the Confederacy in 1861. He established his law practice in Salisbury in 1842, was elected to the N.C. General Assembly, was a Superior Court judge and was elected governor in 1858 and re-elected in 1860. Before the state seceded, he famously told President Lincoln that the Union would get no troops from North Carolina. The 41-year-old Ellis died in office only a few months after

The three-piece communion set, including a chalice, paten and flagon, is still used by the parish every week as part of its services. The parish dates back to 1753. 3. Freedman’s Cemetery and Soldiers Memorial AME Zion Church — corners of West Liberty and North Church streets. The cemetery was established as a burial ground for Salisbury’s AfricanAmerican population, both enslaved and free. The granite wall separating it from the Old English Cemetery was erected in 1855. Over the years, portions of the cemetery were violated, bodies disinterred and all markers removed before memorial grounds were established and dedicated in 2006. Soldiers Memorial Church, founded in 1865, was first known as Salisbury Station and Mount Zion Society. The name later changed to honor Union soldiers who fought for the freedom of slaves.

Ellis had lived with his widowed sister in this Greek Revival house, which she had built in 1850. He is buried in the Old English Cemetery, in the 200 block of North Church Street. The house is a private residence today. 7. Salisbury Confederate Prison and the Garrison House — 224 E. Bank St. The prison compound took in 16 acres and an abandoned cotton factory. A wooden stockade surrounded the prison, designed to accommodate 800 prisoners comfortably, but it was eventually forced to handle more than 12 times that number after the Union stopped the exchange of prisoners in August 1864. Thousands — estimates have varied greatly through the years, from 4,000 to 11,700 — died at the prison, which was abandoned two months before Stoneman’s arrival. Most historians today put the number of prison dead between 4,000 and 5,000. A two-story log house, previously owned by William Valentine, a free man of color, was located just outside the gates of the prison. It became known as the “garrison house” and is the only surviving structure associated with the prison complex.

10 other points of Civil War interest in Salisbury 11. Battle of Grants Creek — West Innes Street at the creek. Union Gen. George Stoneman’s troops, on their entrance into Salisbury on April 12, 1865, met brief resistance from Confederate defenders under the command of Gen. William H. Gardner. The site of battle was near today’s Catawba College. 12. Hinton Rowan Helper marker — south side of West Innes Street at the Square. For three years, 1848-50, Helper clerked for merchant Michael Brown, whose store was on this site. Helper (1829-1909) authored “The Impending Crisis of the South: How to Meet It.” This influential and controversial book discussed the economics of slavery. It was reviled in the South and extremely popular in the North, where abolitionists used it prior to the Civil War to support their cause. Hostile feelings erupted in 1858 when Helper was charged with
An image of Union Gen. George Stoneman hangs on a wall of the Rowan Museum. Stoneman entered Salisbury in April of 1865, bent on freeing Union soldiers held in the Salisbury Prison but soon found out that the prisoners had been moved. Stoneman and his men raided the town, taking valuables and burning Confederate supplies and government buildings.

assaulting Salisbury Congressman Burton Craige in the halls of Congress. President Lincoln later appointed him consul to Buenos Aires, Argentina. 13. Site of the Rev. Thomas G. Haughton’s home — southwest corner of Innes and Lee streets. Haughton, rector of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, welcomed Confederate President Jefferson Davis and members of his party into his home on April 17, 1865. The fleeing Davis spent the night, then moved on to Charlotte the next day. Union forces captured Davis near Irwinville, Ga., May 10, 1865. The former Hardiman’s Furniture store building sits today where Haughton’s home was. 14. Government Hospital site — North Long Street and Bringle Ferry Road. In January 1864, the Confederate government erected 15 buildings for hospital purposes on the lands of Archibald Hender-
son. 15. Wayside Hospital site — northwest corner of North Lee and East Council streets. Established in July 1862, this hospital was supported by the local community to care for sick and wounded soldiers. It was not a government facility. 16. Joseph Ballard marker — 116118 E. Council St. Ballard, a blacksmith, was born into slavery and freed with the end of the Civil War. Always a familiar sight in downtown Salisbury with his oxdrawn wagon, Ballard became active in politics and chaired the local executive committee of the Republican Party. For many years as chief marshal, he led the Memorial Day parade on horseback. 17. William Valentine marker — Innes Street side of building at 101 N.

house at 224 E. Bank St.) before the Civil War. That house, located outside the gates to the Confederate Prison, is considered the only surviving structure of the prison complex. The entrance to Valentine’s barber shop was near the sidewalk marker at Main and Innes. When he died in 1893, the local newspaper said, “he was the only barber here before the war — was free then; but conducted himself so as to secure the confidence and patronage of whites.” The Bank Street house is now an antiques shop. 18. Site of Col. Charles F. Fisher home — northwest corner of North Fulton and West Innes streets. Fisher organized the 6th Regiment and was killed at the First Battle of Manassas on July 21, 1861. His death was mourned throughout the city and state. He was father of Frances Christine (Fisher) Tiernan, who gained fame as the noted author Chris-
tian Reid. The name of her 1876 novel, “The Land of the Sky,” became a famous description of the Asheville region. The Fisher house no longer stands on the corner. 19. Chestnut Hill Cemetery — 1134 S. Main St. The graves of Dr. Josephus Hall, chief medical officer for the prison, and writer Frances Tiernan are located here. Proceeds from Tiernan’s “The Land of the Sky” helped to pay for the Confederate Monument. 20. Battle of York Hill — U.S. 29, on the Davidson County side of the Yadkin River. No, this isn’t in Salisbury, but it has connections to Stoneman’s capture and occupation of the town. On April 13, 1865, four days after Gen. Robert E. Lee’s surrender at Appomattox, Confederate forces under the command of Gen. J.C. Pemberton, successfully held the Yadkin River bridge against a Union assault.

North Rowan bands perform Tuesday The North Rowan High School concert and jazz bands and North Rowan Middle eighth-grade band will present their annual Spring Concert Tuesday. The concert band will be featured performing “1812 Overture” one of Tchaikovsky’s greatest works. This monumental selection depicts through music the story of Napolean’s ill-advised attempt to invade and conquer Russia in the winter of 1812.
The music allows the listener to “see” the entire war including the seemingly impossible Russian victory over the mighty French Army. David Crews, NRHS English Department chair will offer the audience a brief historical explanation of this monumental piece. The concert band’s program will also include “Mountain Dance” by Davidson County resident/composer Ed Kiefer. The North Jazz Band will perform jazz/swing selec-
tions including Glen Miller’s audience favorite “In the Mood.” The eighth-grade band will perform “Awakening Hills,” “New England Festival” and “Devil With the Blue Dress.” The North Rowan HS and MS Bands are directed by Keith and Andrew Howe. Tyler Howe, 2011 Catawba College graduate, will guest conduct the jazz band. The 7 p.m. concert is free to the public in the North Rowan High School auditorium.
Senate to unveil NC budget proposal this week RALEIGH (AP) — The Senate is ready to roll out its version of the North Carolina state government budget that’s expected to spend more on the public schools than the House did instead of less. Senate leader Phil Berger said Friday the full budget
will be unveiled Tuesday in appropriations subcommittees. The measure will go through the full finance and appropriations committees later in the week, with the first floor vote scheduled for May 31. The Senate originally was
targeted to spend $106 million less than the House did on public schools. Berger said that’s no longer the case. Berger has said Senate Republicans want to hire more teachers in early grades while eliminating some teaching assistants.

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s governor says projects to maintain dredging at Oregon Inlet and to improve a dredged material disposal facility at the Wilmington harbor will receive more money for this year. Gov. Beverly Perdue said Friday the state will receive an additional $2.3 million to maintain dredging operations at Oregon Inlet and another $13.5 million to improve the Eagle Island dredged material disposal facility. She says the money will allow the Army Corps of Engineers to continue the dredging of Oregon Inlet, which was filling with sand earlier this year.

Rowan Brain Injury Support Group enjoyed Walk and Rollathon For the month of March, which is Brain Injury Awareness Month, the Rowan Brain Injury Support Group chose to show support in helping the Concord Brain/Spinal Cord Injury Support Group with the first Walk and Rolla-thon in this area. After a lot of debate and planning as to whether we could pull it off or not, the Concord Group decided to do it. There were more than 150 people at the walk , which was held at Frank Liske Park in Concord on March 19. It turned out to be a beautiful day to hold a walk. The walk or roll (for those in wheel or power chairs who could make it through the gravel and rocks) was a lap around the lake. I was humbled to be chosen by the Concord Group as one of the three people to carry the banner. The March winds did not want to cooperate with us as it was rough trying to keep the banner straight. We were not able to get a good picture of the banner but have talked about getting together again and see if we can get a better picture

more than 150 people turned out for the first Walk and Roll-athon in this region of the state. of the banner. We had some great sponsors, plenty of food, entertainment and activities. Larry Sprinkle, meteorologist from WCNC, was our emcee and he did a fantastic job. Our DJ, was Tim Troutman of Charlotteoutdoorstage .Com. Without hesitation or reservation I believe I can safely say this will be an annual event. Mary Sechler and Nadine Cherry attended the March meeting of PBH Advisory Council in Salisbury.
Martin Foil, executive director of Hinds’ Feet Farm in Huntersville, was the speaker. He gave a presentation on brain injury. The Advocacy Group meeting was at the Rufty Holmes Center i n Salisbury. Centralina Ombudsman Patricia Cowan led the meeting. A member of the group also attended an outing with Cabarrus County Safe Kids, handing out information and answering questions on brain injuries, concussions and about wearing helmets. Mary and Nadine were
each recognized at the Arc of Rowan’s annual dinner in March. Each received the volunteer of the year award from the Arc. After the Walk and Rolla-Thon was over, Mary and Nadine visited the Pill Drop in Landis, which was sponsored by the Landis Police Department. Officer Brandon Linn accepted the old medicines. The group received proclamations from the town of Landis and Rowan County commissioners declaring March as Brain Injury Awareness Month. Other activities for the month included speaking about the Rowan Brain Injury Support Group and handing out the group’s cards at meetings members attended.

Lejeune water issue returns to Congress contaminated water supplies at Lejeune between the 1950s and 1980s. Wells at the base were contaminated by fuel leaks and other sources of pollution, in some cases for decades, before tests alerted officials to the problem. Health officials believe as many as 1 million people may have been exposed to tainted water before the wells were closed two decades ago.

JACKSONVILLE (AP) — Members of Congress are looking to provide health care to Marine veterans and family members who say they’ve suffered because of polluted water at Camp Lejeune. Veterans and family members who have been active on the issue are optimistic about the introduction of legislation in Congress this month that would accomplish that, according to The Daily News of Jacksonville. A similar bill introduced last year failed to make headway, but advocates hope this version will attract support from both parties. “This is the second time around, and we’re working Republican support for it, making it what it should be in the first place: a bipartisan issue,” said Jerry Ensminger, a former drill sergeant at the base. “None of us had any political affiliations when we served in the military. Our affiliation was to serve this country.” The bill was introduced by Rep. Brad Miller, D-N.C., and has attracted 16 other sponsors so far, although just three are Republicans, including fellow North Carolina Rep. Walter Jones. The legislation would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide health care to veterans and family members with illnesses or disabilities that could be related to toxic chemicals that

Palestinians angered over peace proposal snub
NY case shows dangers faced by maids
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — Palestinian officials said Saturday that Israel’s dismissive response to President Barack Obama’s new Mideast peace proposal proves there’s not enough common ground for meaningful negotiations. Despite such skepticism, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas seemed in no hurry to announce his next move. He instructed his advisers to avoid public comment, presumably to keep attention focused on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who appears to be set on a collision course with Obama. The U.S. president said this week that Israeli-Palestinian border talks should be based on Israel’s pre-1967 war lines, with mutually agreed land swaps, adopting a formula long sought by the Palestinians, but rejected by Netanyahu. In finally presenting his own vision of the rough outlines of a peace deal, Obama stepped deeper into the Mideast fray after more than two years on the sidelines. However, he did not present a plan of action with his ideas, and the responses from both sides indicated that chances for renewing talks, largely on hold since 2008, are increasingly remote. Obama and Netanyahu are to address the pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC today and Monday. The Israeli leader also plans to address Congress on Tuesday. A White House spokesman has said Obama will speak of the strong bond between Israel and the U.S., but not deliver a policy speech.
NEW YORK (AP) — Hotel housekeepers say they often feel a twinge of fear when they slide the keycard, turn the door handle and step into a room to clean it. What will they find? For Argelia Rico, it was a naked man who touched himself as he ogled her. For Kimberly Phillips, it was a pair of dogs that tore into her leg. Last week, the former head of the powerful International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, was charged with chasing a housekeeper around his $3,000 a night penthouse suite and forcing her to perform oral sex on him at the Sofitel New York Hotel. But labor groups and hotel housekeepers have reported at least 10 other attacks in the U.S. in recent years, from the Washington, D.C., suburb of Gaithersburg, Md., to remote Grand Island, Neb. Labor groups say many more are hushed up because the victims are illegal immigrants or because hotels are wary of scaring off guests. Many hotels laid off security staff during the recession, leaving workers even more vulnerable, they said. “It’s dangerous work,” said Yazmin Vazquez, who works at a hotel in downtown Chicago. “These customers think they can use us for anything they want because we don’t have the power that they have or the money that they have.” Anthony Roman, a consultant based on New York’s Long Island who spent 30 years working security for hotels, said he saw dozens of incidents involving female room attendants, from drunken propositions to rape. “They’re not an infrequent occurrence,” he said. Roman said that while hotels try to make sure that housekeepers aren’t alone for their whole shift, “if you have a sexual predator by nature, all bets are off.” At the luxury hotel in Toronto where Andria Bab-
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Militants in northwest Pakistan blew up a tanker carrying oil for NATO forces in Afghanistan on Saturday, and a secondary explosion killed 15 people as a group gathered to try to siphon off some of its fuel. Another bombing damaged 14 NATO tankers in a nearby border town, but no one was hurt. A Pakistani Taliban group claimed responsibility for both attacks, underscoring the threat to vehicles that carry non-lethal supplies for Western troops in Afghanistan through Pakistan — a threat that could grow more acute in the wake of the U.S. killing of Osama bin Laden in northwest Pakistan. The explosions coincided with the publication of leaked U.S. diplomatic cables indicating that U.S. Special Forces provided intelligence and other assistance to the Pakistani army as it fought Taliban forces in 2009. It was the latest evidence that the U.S. troops did more than just train Pakistanis, as was publicly claimed. The explosions occurred overnight in Pakistan’s Khyber tribal region, an area that numerous trucks carrying supplies for U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan must traverse, local administrator Abdul Nabi Khan said. In the Landi Kotal area of Khyber, a tanker caught fire after a bomb blast. Once it seemed the blaze was controlled, people tried to take the tanker’s fuel. Another blast then occurred, killing 15 people and wounding one, Khan said.
GOP candidate hunt seen as tea party snub DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Some leading Republicans are trying to entice a more established candidate to jump into the presidential race, a courtship that’s aggravating tensions between tea partyers and the GOP’s traditional business wing, a deep-pocketed source of financial support in the campaign. Influential GOP donors have sought to coax Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush or New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to run. The goal is to find a contender with a strong record as a fiscal conservative and the political stature to challenge President Barack Obama. The behind-the-scenes efforts have been taken as a snub by some tea party organizers who favor the anti-establishment messages of Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, businessman Herman Cain and Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who are in the race or are con-
sidering it. New contenders could undermine their chances for donors and for success. “It’s extremely upsetting to hear that the establishment is courting their own candidate when Michele Bachmann, the gold standard, has been in the fight, bucking the establishment that got us in this mess,” said Katrina Pierson, a Dallas tea party leader and emerging national figure for the movement. Daniels, Bush and Christie are all connected with the GOP’s organized fundraising bigwigs, not the more numerous but less affluent grassroots conservatives, said Connecticut tea party leader Bob MacGuffie.
Radio host, pizza magnate joins race ATLANTA (AP) — Herman Cain has run a pizza chain, hosted a talk radio show and sparred with Bill Clinton over health care. He’s never held elected office. Now the tea party favorite wants to be president. “In case you accidentally listen to a skeptic or doubting Thomas out there, just to be clear ... I’m running for president of the United States, and I’m not running for second,” he told a crowd at Centennial Olympic Park on Saturday. Chants of “Herman” erupted from the crowd of thousands in downtown Atlanta. The announcement by the businessman, author and radio talk show host that he was joining the expanding Republican field came after months of traveling around the country to introduce himself to voters. Now the 65-year-old will see if he can use that grassroots enthusiasm to turn a long-shot campaign into a credible bid. Cain supports a strong national defense, opposes abortion, backs replacing the federal income tax with a national sales tax and favors a return to the gold standard. He said President Barack Obama “threw Israel under the bus” because he sought to base Mideast border talks partly on the pre-1967 war lines, and criticized the Justice Department for challenging Arizona’s tough crackdown on illegal immigration.
Tankers could be hijacked, but not so easy to blow up NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Supertankers — the hulking, slow-moving ships that transport half the world’s oil — have few defenses against terrorist hijackers like those envisioned by Osama bin Laden, security experts said Saturday. Al-Qaida operatives with enough training could easily manage to capture ships carrying millions of gallons of oil or liquefied natural gas. All they would have to do is imitate the tactics of Somali pirates who already use small boats to overpower tanker crews in mostly remote locations, the experts said. Few supertankers have armed guards, due to gun import laws and the risk of accidental gunfire igniting explosive cargos. But once terrorists captured a supertanker, it wouldn’t be so easy to sow the economic chaos and costly environmental destruction bin Laden desired and outlined in secret files captured from his Pakistan hideout. It’s actually extremely complex to blow up a supertanker or even sink it near heavily guarded oil shipping lanes like the Suez Canal, the Panama Canal or the Strait of Hormuz at the end of the Persian Gulf. “It would only be a risk if they could sail it undetected and had worked out how to
blow it up, which is pretty complicated,” said Graeme Gibbon-Brooks, the head of Dryad Maritime Intelligence. The FBI and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a confidential warning to authorities and the energy industry Friday that al-Qaida was seeking information on the size and construction of tankers.
Romney campaigns in South Carolina COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina wasn’t kind to Mitt Romney in 2008, but the ex-Massachusetts governor and presidential contender is hoping for a better fate in this Southern bellwether in 2012. He made his first trip to the state since forming a presidential exploratory committee, plying a crowd with mustard-based barbecue and boiled peanuts, photo ops with cute kids and meeting with businesses owners carping about jobless benefits and illegal immigration. He left with a pair of endorsements from state legislators. If nothing else, the mustard-based barbecue was a bold choice in a state with loyalties split mostly between mustard- and vinegar-based concoctions. A crowd of about 40 in a hot warehouse stacked with plumbing supplies cheered when he said it was time for politicians to spend less time thinking about getting reelected and more time on “thinking about how to get the country on the right track and put Americans back to work.” These are relatively easy times for Romney.

Saudi woman who made video of herself driving is detained RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Authorities detained a Saudi woman on Saturday after she launched a campaign against the driving ban for women in the ultraconservative kingdom and posted a video of herself behind the wheel on Facebook and YouTube to encourage others to copy her. Manal al-Sherif and a group of other women started a Facebook page called “Teach me how to drive so I can protect myself,” which urges authorities to lift the driving ban. She went on a test drive in the eastern city of Khobar and later posted a video of the experience. “This is a volunteer campaign to help the girls of this country” learn to drive, alSherif says in the video. “At least for times of emergency, God forbid. What if whoever is driving them gets a heart attack?” Human rights activist Walid Abou el-Kheir said alSherif was detained by the country’s religious police, who are charged with ensuring the kingdom’s rigid interpretation of Islamic teachings are observed. Al-Sherif was released hours later, according to the campaign’s Twitter account. The terms of her release were not immediately clear.
Brazil police say thief stole woman’s hair SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazilian police say a thief cut off and stole a woman’s long hair while she waited at a bus stop. Police say the hair was virgin, meaning it had not been chemically treated, and will probably be sold for the production of wigs. Inspector Jose Carlos Bezerra da Silva said Friday that the woman was waiting for a bus in the central city of Goiania when the man used a knife-like weapon to cut the hair, which reached past her waist.

Salisbury boys, girls fall in quest for crown

Salisbury’s Romar Morris, center, pulled his hamstring in the 100-meter preliminaries, a tough blow to the Hornets’ state championship hopes. Berry Academy’s camron Hudson, left, and Kedrick davis were key parts of Berry’s state championship.
Romar hurt as defending champ boys finish fifth BY DAVID SHAW dshaw@salisburypost.com
GREENSBORO — Strange as it sounds, disappointment ruled the day for the Salisbury boys track team Saturday. The Hornets placed fifth in the 2A state championship meet at NC A&T — and they did it without Romar Morris, the lightning-quick sprinter who was expected to defend his state titles in the 100- and 200-meter dashes. Instead, Morris reinjured his left hamstring midway through the 100 and hobbled across the finish line. “It’s the same one I hurt before (April 2 at Mooresville),”
Morris said after receiving post-race treatment. “It’s a shame because I was halfway home and was winning by a good margin. I thought I was going to break my own record, then boom. I didn’t hear anything pop, but I had to slow down.” With Morris finished for the day, Salisbury coach Darius Bryson never found a way to replace the 24-30 potential team points Morris could have earned. “The most disappointing thing,” Bryson said, “is that I know, he knows and everyone else knows he’s the fastest kid

OKLAHOMA CITY — Dirk N o w i t z k i Mavericks 93 scored 18 points Thunder 87 during an off night for both of the game’s superstars, and the Dallas Mavericks built a huge lead early before hanging on for a 93-87 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night to take a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference finals. The Mavericks, who tied with Miami for the league’s best road record during the regular season, won for the fourth straight time outside Dallas in these playoffs and reclaimed home-court advantage just two nights after letting
it get away in Game 2. Nowitzki went 7 for 21 from the field but Dallas still called on him in the clutch to hold off Oklahoma City’s late charge. “He’s the best, even if he’s not making shots early he wants the ball to make a play,” Dallas guard Jason Kidd said. NBA scoring champion Kevin Durant also struggled from the field, hitting just 7 of 22 shots to finish with 24 points and 12 rebounds. Russell Westbrook responded to a fourth-quarter benching with 30 points, helping the Thunder rally from 23 points down to make it interesting in the final minutes.

GREENSBORO — Salisbury’s girls track team brought home the hardware Saturday, even if it wasn’t the piece the Hornets wanted. By earning 48 team points and finishing second in the 2A state meet at North Carolina A&T, SHS earned the runnersup plaque for the second straight season. “It’s disappointing because we wanted first,” junior Summer Taylor said after the Hornets were edged by Carboro (55). “But considering how far behind we were, I’m happy. We all are.” That included senior Alisha Bradshaw, who captured both the shot put (39-7) and discus (11910) with subpar throws. A Western Carolina signee, she had eyes
on a couple of state records. “I could’ve done a lot better,” Bradshaw said after outdistancing Hanna Metzinger of Bunn (118-6) — despite fouling on four of her six attempts in the disc. “It was very unusual. I felt comfortable during the warmups, but when it counted I just couldn’t get my throws right.” It was Bradshaw’s second consecutive state title in the discus. Teammate Bryce Ford placed eighth with a 96-7. “Last year Alisha threw in the high-120’s,” Salisbury coach David Johnson said. “To her, she was going backwards. She’s her own harshest critic. So with her it’s probably more mental than anything.” Later in the day Bradshaw

carl edwards celebrates his win.
CONCORD — The race was billed as a throwback to the Wild West, and track officials practically promised scores would be settled in the $1 million Sprint All-Star Race. Only the knock ‘em down action never came, and the only fireworks were those in Saturday night’s postrace show at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The only drama came after Carl Edwards took the checkered flag during his celebratory slide through the grass. Although he appeared to hit either a manhole cover or a drainage device, his car instead seemed only to dip hard into the grass — contact that crumpled the front of his No.

He left behind a deep rut in Charlotte’s infield grass. “You never know what comes from misfortunes and it was definitely unfortunate,” Edwards said. “Pretty wild twist of fate that we tore it up, but I’m going to have faith something good will come from it.” Edwards had a sheepish grin as he climbed out his window for his customary celebratory backflip, and he apologized to crew chief Bob Osborne for wrecking the car. “That’s a million dollars.

Indians’ season ends Staff report Catawba’s baseball team, seeded fifth in the SouthFMU 9 east Regional and Catawba 7 ranked 19th nationally, ended its season with a 9-7, 11-inning loss to Francis Marion in an elimination game played on Saturday afternoon in Mount Olive. Brooks Arnette and Buddy Sosnoskie had two-out RBI singles in the top of the 11th inning against reliever Clay Watson to decide it. It was a frustrating loss for Catawba, which left the bases loaded in the second and third and ran itself out of a potentially huge fifth inning with baserunning mishaps. “It looked like neither one of us wanted to win,” Catawba coach Jim Gantt said. “There was some bad baserunning, some errors, some walks. It looked like a losers bracket game where pitching is thin. Both teams had a lot of chances. Baserunning mistakes killed us.” Catawba (41-15) had beaten Francis Marion (40-15) in a 10-inning game in the first round, so the teams were as even as their records would indicate. Trailing 7-4 heading to the eighth, Catawba got one run back on a twoout RBI double by Garrett Furr. Chris Dula’s triple and Keaton
Hawks’ single made it 7-6 in the ninth, and Catawba tied it on Brett Underwood’s two-out single up the middle on an 0-2 pitch. The tying run scored from third. The shortstop was able to knock the ball down, and Blake Houston, trying to score from second, was thrown out at the plate to send the game to extra innings. “This was a game played by two teams in desperation,” FMU coach Art Inabinet said. “We were fortunate to hang on and advance.” Furr hit an early two-run homer for Catawba. Underwood and Hawks had four hits apiece for the Indians, while Dula had three. Sosnoskie, who played for the Statesville American Legion program in 2007 after his family moved to the area, had four hits for the Patriots. Mount Olive 7, UNC Pembroke 3 Dan Hayduk knocked in four runs for the Trojans, and Pete Levitt struck out nine batters. Francis Marion 5, UNC Pembroke 4 A wild pitch in the bottom of the ninth tied the game, and Tyler Cappleman scored the winner on Arnette’s sacrifice fly. Francis Marion plays Mount Olive today at 1 p.m. in the championship game. FMU has to beat Mount Olive twice to win the regional. The winner goes to the Division II World Series in Cary.
Linza gets 10th victory From staff reports
Senior Keegan Linza (North Rowan) pitched his final home game for Liberty on Saturday. The Flames won 2-1 against Radford. Linza (10-3) allowed six hits, two walks and one run in six innings. He struck out five. Linza leads the Big South Conference in wins and innings pitched (96) LINZA and was fourth in ERA (2.23) entering Saturday’s outing. Linza is only the fourth Liberty pitcher to win 10 games in a season. Preston Troutman (East Rowan) scored two runs and Trey Holmes (East) had two hits in Appalachian State’s 8-6 win against Georgia Southern on Friday. Noah Holmes (East) went 1-for-1 and Trey Holmes was 2-for-3 in ASU’s 12-4 loss to Georgia Southern on Saturday. Charlotte’s Corbin Shive (East) had two doubles and three RBIs as the 49ers split two games with Dallas Baptist on Saturday. Justin Roland (East) had four hits, and Ross Steedley (East) was 2-for-5.
College golf Virginia senior Will Collins (Salisbury) bounced back from a firstround 77 to shoot 71 and 72 on the final two days of the NCAA East Regional held at the Pete Dye River Course. Collins finished 14th overall at 4over 220. Virginia finished eighth but failed to COLLINS qualify for the NCAA Championships. The top five teams from the regional advanced.
Pro golf
his batting average for the season down to .222. The positives are he’s 8-for-12 on steals and is tied for eighth in the league with 22 runs scored. Spencer Steedley (East, Charlotte 49ers) has a high ERA (4.05) at New Britain in Double A ball, but he’s striking people out and appears to be healthy. Steedley (2-1) fanned three in his only inning of work on Friday and now has 19 strikeouts in 20 innings. Wade Moore (West Rowan, Catawba) hasn’t gotten hot yet for Hagerstown and his batting average (.171) isn’t where he’d like it to be. Moore is batting .125 in May, but he’s been able to stay in the lineup in left field for the Suns because of his glove, speed and ability to draw walks. He has as many walks (19) as he does hits. The lefty swinging Moore is 2-for28 against southpaw pitchers, and that’s done some damage to his batting average. Moore and his teammates are scheduled to play in Kannapolis on May 29-31. It will be the closest trip home for Moore since he signed with Washington last June. Fans also will be interested in seeing Moore’s teammate, 18-year-old Bryce Harper, the youngest player in the South Atlantic League and the most touted hitting prospect in baseball. Harper has been as good as advertised so far, with 10 homers and a .359 batting average, while playing against mostly 23-year-olds. He’s a 6foot-3, 225-pound left-handed masher from Nevada. Harper’s promotion to high A ball in Potomac, Va., could happen any day. Hopefully, he’ll still be with Hagerstown the rest of May. Jackson’s Kyle Seager (NW Cabarrus, UNC) hasn’t destroyed the Southern League like he did advanced A ball last summer in California, but he’s more than held his own in Double A. After collecting two hits Friday, the second baseman is batting .302 with some pop — four homers and 14 doubles.

The Red Devils (25-2) beat Salisbury in the second round. Pro baseball The Kannapolis Intimidators broke loose offensively on Saturday and pounded Delmarva 16-6 at Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium. Kannapolis held a 5-0 lead after it had sent five men to the plate. Brady Shoemaker hit two homers and combined with Trayce Thompson to drive in eight runs. The four-game series continues today at 5:05 p.m. Los Angeles rookie Jerry Sands (Catawba) hit his first MLB homer on Saturday against the White Sox. New York Mets reliever Bobby Parnell (East Rowan) is still working his way back to the majors. He was good at Triple A Bufalo on Friday, striking out two while throwing a scoreless inning. Wilmington outfielder Whit Merrifield (Davie, South Carolina) has been one of the best players in the Carolina League. Merrifield is second in the league in batting average (.318), third in runs (30) and fourth in on-base percentage (.393). He collected his 13th double of the season on Saturday. Winston-Salem’s Daniel Wagner (South Rowan, Belmont) has not had as much success in the Carolina League to this point. After hitting .253 in April, Wagner’s at .188 in May, and that’s pulled

RACE FroM 1B won a million dollars,” Edwards said from Victory Lane. “I feel so bad about tearing up the car. But I’m sure Bob’s got a better one.” Edwards won three of the four segments in the 100-lap race, but still had one last pit stop and a 10-lap sprint to the finish before he could claim his first All-Star victory. NASCAR brought the field in for a 10-minute break following the third segment, then sent the cars back to the track for parade laps before they were required to return to pit road for a four-tire stop. The stop is where the pit crews have their chance to shine in this event, and Edwards’ team delivered. He came in as the leader and left
MAVS FroM 1B Dallas had already blown a 23-point lead in the final 13 minutes in the first round at Portland, and led by 22 with 17 minutes to go this time. Even with Nowitzki struggling, the Mavericks leaned on the big German with the Thunder closing the gap. Nowitzki got the ball on 10 of 11 possessions and scored just three times, but it was enough to keep Oklahoma City at bay. Westbrook and Daequan Cook each missed 3-pointers that could’ve gotten the Thunder within three, and Westbrook then lost the ball out of bounds before Jason Terry’s jumper stretched the advantage to 86-78 with 1:42 remaining. Nowitzki added a jumper from the left elbow to put the lead back at eight after Durant hit two free throws, and Dallas held on from there. Shawn Marion also scored 18, and Kidd and Terry each chipped in 13. Tyson Chandler had 15 rebounds, including six on the offensive end. The Thunder leaned on their bench again in the fourth quarter, but this time Westbrook was on the court instead of the bench like he was in Game 2. Reserves Nick Collison, James Harden and Cook joined the AllStar tandem of Durant and Westbrook on the floor in the fourth, but the bench didn’t come up nearly as big in this one. After outscoring Dallas’ reserves 50-29 in Game 2, the Oklahoma City bench had just 16 points in this one. The Thunder missed their first 16 3-pointers — including all eight by Durant — before Westbrook made one in the final minute to get Oklahoma City within 88-83. Dallas made five of its six free throws to close it out, and Terry swiped the ball with 10 seconds left and ran out the clock on the win. Oklahoma City fell behind by as many as 23 after a dreadful start, and it didn’t get much better for a while. The Thunder had made only 10 of their 41 shots when Dallas bumped its lead back up to 58-36 by scoring the first six points after halftime. Harden — the bench star with 23 points in Game 2 — started a rally by driving for a layup and then taking an elbow from Chandler to draw a technical foul. That started a burst of eight straight points to get the Thunder within 65-52, the closest they’d been since the end of the first quarter.

SPORTS as the leader, beating Busch back onto the track. Edwards then got a terrific jump on the restart and easily pulled away. “As far as he jumped out on me really surprised me,” Busch said. “He took off so far, I was like ‘Damn, there ain’t no way I am going to be able to run him down in this short period of time.’” Edwards praised his Roush-Yates engine for the speed he had throughout the race, and for the restart that helped him pull away from Busch. “The restart was good, and man, that thing, it really runs,” Edwards said. Busch, who has a history of wrecking cars capable of winning the All-Star race, settled for second in a Toyota and will bring the car back next week as his backup for the Coca-Cola 600.
“Considering our fleet has been getting a little bit low, this is pretty good,” Busch said of his second-place finish. “I didn’t put a scratch on it. It was a good one.” Edwards had little time to celebrate. He was off after the race to catch a flight to Iowa to run the Nationwide Series race on Sunday. “I really can’t wait to go,” he said. “The most enjoyable thing I can do is go race another car.” Most everyone else will have to wait for next week’s Coca-Cola 600, the longest race of the NASCAR season. The All-Star race is usually the warm-up act for the 600, and the final 10 laps of Saturday night have always been billed as a wild, dash for the cash. But the excitement never came, as the drivers raced clean and caution free.
“This was a pretty tame night, at least from the AllStar perspective,” Tony Stewart said. David Reutimann was third in a Toyota and followed by Stewart, who celebrated his 40th birthday a day earlier. Greg Biffle was fifth, Matt Kenseth was sixth and RFR teammate David Ragan was eighth to put all four of the team’s car inside the top eight. Ragan won the Sprint Showdown qualifier earlier Saturday to earn his spot in the field. Denny Hamlin was seventh. Kevin Harvick was ninth and Ryan Newman rounded out the top 10. Kurt Busch’s struggles continued Saturday night and he sounded despondent over his team’s performance for much of the event. He finished 13th.
Armstrong accused of cheating Associated Press
NEW YORK — A report by “60 Minutes” says George Hincapie, a longtime member of Lance Armstrong’s inner circle, has told federal authorities he saw the seven-time Tour de France winner use performance-enhancing drugs. A segment of the report aired Friday night on the “CBS Evening News,” one day after it broadcast an interview with another former member of Armstrong’s U.S. Postal Service team, Tyler Hamilton, who said he also used PEDs with Armstrong. Hincapie has often been depicted as one of Armstrong’s most loyal teammates and was with him for all seven Tour victories. In an interview last year, Armstrong said Hincapie was “like a brother to me.” Hincapie is among a number of former Armstrong teammates and employees who have appeared before a federal grand jury in Los Angeles investigating doping in cycling. Hamilton said he testified for six hours before the panel.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL The fans lined up three hours before kickoff, awaiting their chance to see America’s version of football played for the first time in Africa. The locals in Arusha, Tanzania, weren’t quite sure what, when or who to cheer for during the game between the Drake Bulldogs and an all-star team from Mexico. But the 12,000 or so who took in the college football game seemed to enjoy it. Drake, a non-scholarship program from Des Moines, Iowa, beat the CONADEIP All-Stars, 17-7, in the Global Kilimanjaro Bowl on Saturday. “It truly was a magical day,” Drake coach Chris Creighton told The Associated Press by phone from Tanzania. “I think everybody had the sense that we were part of something way bigger than ourselves, just bigger than a football game. It was emotional, kind of the realization of something very special to all of us.”

Shackleford wins Preakness
NHL MINNEAPOLIS — The death of Rangers enforcer Derek Boogaard was an accident, due to a toxic mix of alcohol and the powerful painkiller oxycodone. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner announced Boogaard’s cause of death Friday, saying it was unclear exactly when the 28-year-old died. Boogaard was found dead in his Minneapolis apartment last Friday, five months after he sustained a season-ending concussion with the New York Rangers.
WRESTLING Randy “Macho Man” Savage, the professional wrestler known for his raspy voice, the sunglasses and bandanas he wore in the ring and the young woman named Miss Elizabeth who often accompanied him, died in a car crash Friday in Florida. He was 58. A Florida Highway Patrol crash report said the former wrestler — whose legal name was Randy Mario Poffo — was driving a Jeep Wrangler when he lost control in Pinellas County around 9:25 a.m. The Jeep veered over the raised concrete median divider, crossed over the eastbound lanes and crashed head-on into a tree.

BALTIMORE — Soaked with sweat, Shackleford bucked and kicked until crewmen finally shoved him into the No. 5 gate at the Preakness. One ton of horseflesh all but screamed, “Get me out of here.” Less than two minutes after the gate sprang open, the nervous colt was a cool classic winner. Shackleford held off a late charge by the 2-1 favorite Animal Kingdom, spoiling yet another Triple Crown try and beating the Kentucky Derby winner by a half-length Saturday at Pimlico. The chestnut colt, who led into the stretch in the Derby two weeks ago, finished the job at 12-1 odds, covering the 1 3-16 miles in 1:56.47. With jockey Jesus Castanon aboard, Shackleford battled Flashpoint for the lead until midway on the final turn and then dug in to hold off the onrushing Animal Kingdom before 107,398 fans. “He was a little hot in the beginning, but he was able to calm down,” Castanon said. “He’s a good horse and able to handle it.” It was the first victory in a Triple Crown race for Castanon and trainer Dale Romans, a Louisville, Ky., native, who watched Shackleford finish fourth in the Derby. Shackleford’s pre-race antics weren’t unusual. He often gets nervous and sweats excessively, not normally a good thing on a day when temperatures hit the 80s in sunny Baltimore. “He wasn’t acting that bad. It’s a hot day, so that wasn’t worrying me too much. I was more concerned at the quarter-pole if he was going to hold on,” said Romans, who had one Breeders’ Cup victory and a win in the $6 million Dubai World Cup to his credit in his long career. “I’ve won some big races, but none as exciting as that one,” he said, meaning the Preakness, where he finished second last year
with First Dude. “For as hard as he ran in the Derby and to come back, Dale did a fantastic job with him,” said trainer Bob Baffert, a five-time Preakness winner. “I’m happy for Dale because the poor guy ran second last year with First Dude and it looked like he had it won. He did a great training job.” Shackleford paid $27.20, $10.20 and $6.80. Animal Kingdom returned $4.20 and $3.60. Astrology paid $8 to show. Dialed In was fourth after finishing eighth in the Derby as the beaten favorite. “They went fast enough early, but then they slowed out,” trainer Nick Zito said. “It didn’t work out.” Dance City was fifth, followed by Mucho Macho Man, King Congie and Mr. Commons. Isn’t He Perfect was ninth, then came Concealed Identity, Norman Asbjornson, Sway Away, the Bafferttrained Midnight Interlude and Flashpoint. Once again, fans’ hopes to see a Triple Crown winner at long last will have to wait until next year. The last horse to sweep the Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes was Affirmed in 1978. Big Brown was the last to attempt a Triple, in 2008. Trainer Graham Motion, full of hope and expectation at the start of the race, looked on glumly as Animal Kingdom couldn’t catch Shackleford in time. “He ran huge. I was hoping he was going to get there,” said Motion, who had kept the Derby winner at his stable 60 miles away in the Maryland countryside until race morning. Shaking off his jitters, Shackleford broke alertly, as did another speedy horse, Flashpoint. They dueled through a quick opening quarter-mile of 22.69 seconds, just a fifth of a second off the Preakness record. “It was fast, but he kind of pulled everyone else out of the race,” Romans said. As they sped along, Animal Kingdom and Dialed In, the second favorite, were running at the back of the 14horse field.

Game 4 over the Bruins on Saturday. Roloson was pulled in the first period after he allowed three goals on nine shots. Smith came on and made 21 saves as the Lightning avoided dropping into a big hole against the surging Bruins. Boston will host Game 5 on Monday. “There’s no time to think,” Smith said. “It’s just one of those things where we got behind the 8-ball there in the first. That’s why I’m on the bench, to come in and kind of

I’m playing with a different team. Boston is a different team. Right now it’s just going out there and trying to

Tampa Bay also got a goal from Sean Bergenheim, who leads the NHL with nine playoff goals after scoring 14 times during the regular season. Martin St. Louis sealed the win in the final minute with an empty-net goal. Gagne gave the Lightning a 4-3 lead when he beat Tim Thomas from the right circle 6:54 into the third period.

won her first shot put crown, outgunning East Bladen basketball star Courtney Melvin (39-2 1/2). Once again her best throw came in an opening flight. “Again I wanted to do better,” said Bradshaw, who also had the third- and fourthlongest throws in the competition. “That’s always a personal goal I set for myself. But I still wound up first. You can’t do any better than that.” No you can’t. “She’s great at this,” said Melvin, bestknown as a 6-foot-2 post player. “This is just something I’m doing for fun. She’s been doing it since middle school and today, it showed.” Taylor got the Hornets six team points by placing sixth in the long jump (16-4) and 400-meter dash (1:01.65). And in the 800 senior Emily Shields finished second in career-best 2:20.04. “My goal was to run that fast and look what happened — it got us eight points,” she said. “That was encouraging.” Shields spent most of the race drafting behind Berry Academy sophomore Micalyn Zimmerman. But down the stretch both runners were passed by winner Grace Morken of Carboro, who crossed the line in 2:19.27. “She came from nowhere, along the inside,” Shields said. “I tried but I couldn’t stay with her.” Shields’ sister Katherine finished fifth in the 1600 run (5:23.31) but failed to score in the 3200, placing ninth in 12:28.36.

impressive throw of 47-7. Distance runner Philip Tonseth was fourth in the 800 run (2:02.60) and fifth in the 1600 (4:34.67), but was forced to drop out of the 3200 due to a blister on his left pinkie toe. “I got through the mile OK,” Tonseth said. “But in my prep for the 800 I started looking at it and it was bad, the worst I’ve ever seen.” In the pole vault Salisbury senior James Means made the lift of his life, clearing 12-6 to finish fifth. The Hornets had the state’s fourth-best qualifying time in the 4 x 100 relay — but that was with Morris running the anchor leg. Senior
John Jarrett was a terrific fillin, leading the Hornets to an 11th-place finish in 43.77. He was joined by Justin Ruffin, Smokey Saryee and Dominique Dismuke. “That’s unbelievable,” said Bryson. “With Romar that’s easily 42-something.” Added Tonseth: “We all wanted Romar to run, but we can’t rely on him to do our part.” Salisbury’s final entrant was the 4 x 400 relay team of Marqui Ross, Tyler Downs, Luc Hutton and William Brown. It placed 10th in 3:32.92, capping a drama-filled day.

SBA a way for some to get a business off the ground — or keep it growing BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
ALISBURY — Sam Ketner and Nate Brown graduated from Catawba College in the midst of the Great Recession. Friends and soccer teammates, the business majors found themselves in May 2008 with no prospects for meaningful employment. “We couldn’t find jobs, so we decided to make our own,” Brown said. Ketner had interned at a local car dealership, so they parked their own vehicles on a lot they’d leased on Jake Alexander Boulevard. Within hours, they’d sold Brown’s 1996 Ford Ranger for $3,000 — $500 more than he’d paid for it. They used the money to buy two more cars, which also sold quickly. Two entrepreneurs, and a new business called Auto House, were born. Within six months, they were selling a dozen cars a month. Within two years, they were up to 50 cars a month and had outgrown the location. They needed capital to expand.

But they didn’t have the business history required for a conventional loan, and lenders turned them down twice. “At our age, a traditional commercial loan was out of the question,” said Ketner, 24. Brown is 25.
Lenders wanted five years of business income tax returns, they said. So they turned to the U.S. Small Business Administration. Through Community Bank of Rowan in Salisbury, Ketner and Brown qualified for an $815,000
SBA loan with a fixed rate for 25 years. They bought the former Sagebrush restaurant on Jake Alexander Boulevard, painted it red, white and blue and hired more people. Auto House is the kind of business SBA loans are designed for, said Heidi Whitesell, the commercial SBA vice president for Community Bank of Rowan. “For startups or young companies who haven’t been in business for more than a few years, it’s a way to access capital that they may otherwise not be able to,” she said. The loans, which are issued through banks according to government guidelines and receive some protection against losses if the borrower defaults, offer fixed rates and longer terms than conventional loans. “People shy away from SBA because they think you have to jump through all these hoops,” Whitesell said.

Just like the ’90s: IPO a big day for early LinkedIn backers MICHAEL LIEDTKE Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — There was an unmistakable echo of the dot-com boom this past week on Wall Street. LinkedIn, a trailblazer in the online networking craze, went public with a roaring stock offering. Within minutes, shares were trading at twice the value set by the company. Buyers crowded the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, and financial news networks flashed LinkedIn’s stock price urgently all day. By the closing bell, the company had a market value of $9 billion, the highest for any Internet company since Google had its initial public offering seven years ago. Millionaires and even one billionaire were made, at least on paper. The stock, issued at $45, went as high as $122.70 just before noon and closed at $94.25 on a trading volume of 30 million shares. All this for a company that skeptics say amounts to an online Rolodex, a place on the Internet for professionals to post resumés and connect with one another and potential employers. It was enough to remind some people on Wall Street of the heady late 1990s and the debuts of companies like Netscape Communications — and, more infamously, long-for-

Investors wondered whether LinkedIn will be a precursor to another financial frenzy in Silicon Valley. “I definitely think this will be a catalyst,” said longtime technology investor and analyst Michael Moe,
CEO of Global Silicon Valley Asset Management. “Investors who like growth stocks have been stuck in a desert for a long time, and now it’s like they have found this great pitcher of water.” LinkedIn is already worth $9 billion, or 18 times its projected rev-
enue this year. Major Internet companies, including Google, trade at an average of about five times projected revenue, according to an analysis by Capital IQ. Using another measure, price-toearnings ratio, which compares a company’s market value with its profit, LinkedIn finished the day at a staggering 554 — a number reminiscent of the late 1990s tech bubble. By comparison, the average P/E ratio of technology companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index like Google and Apple is 15. Two-thirds of LinkedIn’s revenue comes from the fees it charges to help companies find and hire workers. Francis Gaskins, president of IPOdesktop.com, said that makes the company more like Monster, an employment firm where business depends a lot on the health of the job market. “Can we stop asking if we are in a bubble now?” venture capitalist Mitchell Kertzman said after hearing that LinkedIn stock was trading above $100. “We are clearly in a valuation bubble.” If the stock market is thirsty for more businesses that connect people on the Internet, there’s a backlog of privately held companies that might one day satisfy it. The short list includes Twitter,

Nate Brown and sam Ketner look under the hood of a car ronnie Hoots had been detailing at the expanded auto House business. When Brown and Ketner expanded and hired Hoots, he had been out of work for two years. the SBA loan application process a hassle. “Everything I heard for a couple years that kept me from doing SBA turned out to be true,” Fowler said. Fowler, who was laid off in 2009 from the National Wild Turkey Federation after 20 years, pursued an SBA loan for his new business, Open Season. He’s producing a variety of products under the label, including dog food, sweet potato butter, cutlery and custom barbecue cookers. He needed $15,000 for inventory and start-up costs and applied for an SBA loan through a California-based bank that does business in
North Carolina. But faced with $1,000 in fees, plus a requirement to pay for online training, Fowler said he became uneasy. He called U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan’s office and confirmed the bank was legitimate, but ultimately, Fowler went another route — credit cards. With two zero-interest credit cards, he said he can launch his business and not pay SBA fees. Whitesell said although applicants may pay more in fees on an SBA loan compared to a conventional loan, it’s worth it to have an interest rate locked in for 25 years. Fees between 2 percent
and 3.5 percent are figured on the amount of the loan that’s guaranteed by the government. Ketner and Brown paid a 3 percent fee on 75 percent of their loan, or about $18,000. “We chalked it up to the cost of doing business,” Brown said. With 11 fulltime employees, Brown and Ketner are considering expanding in a year by adding a second location, possibly in Mooresville or Gastonia. “We couldn’t have done it without SBA,” Ketner said.

The U.S. Small Business Administration has named Wells Fargo the 2011 Large 7(a) Lender of the Year. The award was presented Friday to Wells Fargo, the country’s No. 1 SBA 7(a) lender in dollars to small business owners, at SBA’s National Small Business Week celebration event in Washington, D.C. The award, presented by Karen Mills, administrator of the SBA, recognized Wells Fargo’s role in driving the nation’s economic growth as an SBA lender. “Our partnerships with SBA lenders over the past two years have played a crucial role in putting capital in the hands of America’s strongest economic engine — small businesses,” Mills said in a press release. For the first six months
of the federal fiscal year (Oct. 1, 2010 — March 31, 2011), Wells Fargo extended more than $677 million in SBA 7(a) financing to small business owners. An SBA preferred lender in all 50 states, Wells Fargo is the second largest lender in units, extending 1,652 loans through March 31.
Bank of North Carolina opens SBA lending division in Raleigh Bank of North Carolina has established a Small Business Administration lending division in Raleigh. Bank of North Carolina will provide SBA loans under the 7(a), 504 and Express loan programs. The department will be managed by Dave White.

plications locally, usually within a week or two, she said. For start-ups that need a business plan to qualify, Whitesell said free help is available through RowanCabarrus Community College and the Service Corps of Retired Executives. Whitesell is trying to spread the word about SBA loans, which are available at several local banks, including Wells Fargo, BB&T, SunTrust and Bank of North Carolina. “We want people to know that there are resources out there that your government is supporting, and they should take advantage,” Whitesell said. While banks compete against each other and offer different rates, the SBA has a maximum fixed rate of 8.99 percent on a 25-year loan for real estate. SBA loans are available to businesses under a certain size, depending on the industry, and can be used for working capital, payroll, equipment and inventory purchases and more. “People don’t know that money’s out here,” Whitesell said. Last year, Community Bank of Rowan approved 60 percent of about 100 applicants. From October 2010 through March 2011, the bank issued 16 SBA loans worth $8.4 million. More people applied for SBA loans last year because the government used stimulus funds to waive fees. Fees are sometimes a deterrent, Whitesell said. Joe Fowler said fees and other requirements made
the 140-characters-or-fewer messaging service; Zynga, which makes online games like FarmVille; Groupon, the coupon site; and, of course, Facebook, the social network with more than 500 million users. None of those companies has revealed specific plans for going public. Facebook has at least dangled the possibility of filing for an IPO before May 2012. A private investment led by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. valued Facebook at $50 billion in January. “If people are this excited about a professional networking service like LinkedIn, you can imagine what kind of frenzy there is going to be when Facebook goes public,” said eMarketer analyst Debra Aho Williamson. The 109 percent first-day gain for LinkedIn, based in Mountain View, Calif., nearly mirrored Netscape’s first day when it went public in 1995. Netscape rose that day from $28 to a close of $58.25, or 108 percent. Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen’s venture capital firm, Andreessen Horowitz, has invested in Twitter, Groupon, Zynga and Facebook. As an individual, Andreessen was also an early investor in LinkedIn and is among the more than 102 million people who have posted resumes and profiles on its website.

times since the start of the year. The average cost of a ticket is up more than 10 percent from last year. • The total distance families are expected to travel is 792 miles, up 27 percent from last year, thanks to the spike in air travel. • People with incomes above $50,000 a year make up 69 percent of those who plan to travel, compared with 58 percent last year. The reason: higher gas prices take up a larger share of lower-income families’ household budgets. “We are seeing some folks who are saying they have to pinch pennies to make the trip,” says Paula Werne, spokeswoman for Holiday World in the southern Indiana town of Santa Claus. But most refuse to abandon their vacations. “Americans really believe a vacation is a right,” says Joseph A. McInerney, CEO of the American Hotel & Lodging Association. “It’s not a luxury.” As Memorial Day weekend approaches, pump prices are averaging $3.91 a gallon, the highest level in three years. That’s because oil rose 35 percent from mid-February through late April. The price is $1.05 more than last year. That’s an extra $37 for a family driving 800 miles over the weekend.

DENVER (AP) — This Memorial Day weekend Americans may be skipping the souvenir T-shirt. More people are expected to travel for the holiday than have since the Great Recession. But they’ll be keeping a tighter grip on their wallets thanks to higher gas prices and airfares. The typical family plans to spend $692, a decrease of 14 percent from last year’s $809, according to AAA. That could have a broad impact on businesses that depend on travel spending, from hotels to restaurants to ice cream parlors to mini-golf courses. “You’ll see people eating sandwiches out of the cooler instead of going into a restaurant,” says Susanne Pelt, spokeswoman for the South of the Border roadside attraction in South Carolina. In its yearly survey, AAA projects 34.9 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home — a slight increase of 100,000 travelers from last year and the highest number since 2007. AAA and survey partner IHS Global Insight interviewed 325 Americans who plan to travel for the holiday. Among the survey’s findings: • Higher gas prices are on the minds of 40 percent of travelers. Many plan shorter trips or other money-saving steps. That could mean picking a Holiday Inn Express over a Holiday Inn or driving to a free beach instead of an amusement park. • Rates at AAA three-diamond hotels are expected to increase 5 percent from a year ago to $148 a night. Cheaper two-diamond properties are up 10 percent to $109. • Nearly 2.93 million people will board an airplane, up 11.5 percent from last year despite higher airfares.

Comedy and fairy tales upcoming in new season NEW YORK (AP) — Jimmy Kimmel’s lacerating dissection of the industry has become an annual highlight of the week when television’s biggest networks reveal programming plans to advertisers. This year he nailed the pie-eyed suspension of disbelief that characterizes each sales job. “Remember those shows we were so excited about last fall?” Kimmel said at the ABC session. “We canceled all of them. And yet here you are again. I think you might have a gambling problem.” Big laughs, perhaps from the hint of recognition. Of the 18 new series that debuted last fall on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox, six survived to make this coming September’s schedule — a batting average of .250. Take away the relatively stable CBS, and it’s three out of 13. That doesn’t even count shows that appeared in midseason and are already history, such as “The Paul Reiser Show” and Matthew Perry’s “Mr. Sunshine.” And yet, the dance begins again. While the ways to experience television have changed dramatically over the past decade with DVDs, digital video recorders and Internet streaming, the brutally inefficient ways of making it have not. There’s little incentive to alter things, judging by predictions for this year’s “upfront,” the mad scramble to spend billions of dollars on advertising for next season. The $8.5 billion hauled in by broadcasters last spring will almost certainly be
topped, said Jack Myers of the industry newsletter Jack Myers’ Media Business Report. Big spending sectors such as the auto industry are expected to buy more commercial time. Advertisers these days have better access to research telling them that TV is their most efficient way to get their message across, Myers said. Perhaps sensing this, NBC’s new management had a turn-back-the-clock vibe in its presentation. After years in which the network touted new content delivery systems, Comcast-appointed NBC executive Ted Harbert got a big hand by promising his audience “a little less reinventing the wheel” and more attention to broadcasting basics. The week had its usual displays of competition, snark and a whole lot of laugh tracks — with a few clear trends emerging.
Sing loud It may seem that every amateur singer who wants to jump on stage in front of cameras will be getting the chance. “American Idol” isn’t going anywhere, of course, and now Fox will have Simon Cowell’s “The X Factor” in the fall. Desperate for success, NBC has made “The Voice” a central building block after a couple of strong weeks. “Some critics say we’re ripping off ‘American Idol,’” NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” star Seth Meyers joked. “To which I say, ‘If you have a better idea, we’d like to hear it.’” Kimmel’s take on “The X Factor”: “This is the best idea since 2002. It’s like ‘American
Idol’ meets a mirror.” If it works — and executives are confident about that — it’s a game-changer for Fox.
Comedy ABC’s “Modern Family” breathed new life into the sitcom, and now networks consider comedy a priority. ABC is putting two comedies in a Tuesday time slot once held by a drama, and NBC is doing the same on Wednesday. “Comedy is usually the core of any network schedule, which is why we would like to get back to that,” said Fox entertainment chief Kevin Reilly. “Comedy was kind of anemic for a while.” Judging shows on the basis of a few minutes’ highlights is dangerous, but it looks like there may be a rough period of trial and error next season. ABC’s “Work It” is about two men who dress as women to get a job; it’s hard to envision the idea sustaining itself for more than 20 minutes. The big joke in NBC’s “Up All Night” is new parents Will Arnett and Christina Applegate learning not to swear in front of their baby. The premise and performance of Tim Allen’s new “Last Man Standing” on ABC seemed tired. Two promising entries are Fox’s sweet Zooey Deschanel entry “New Girl” and CBS’ story of two struggling waitresses “2 Broke Girls.” It was a good week for Whitney Cummings, who will star in a new NBC sitcom and co-produces “2 Broke Girls” with Michael Patrick King. The week’s best comic performance went to Steve Koonin, head of the Turner
networks, who launched an impromptu monologue when a power surge knocked out the video at the TBS and TNT upfront. He even tried to lead the audience in rounds of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat.” “Our (advertising) pricing is not going to change because of this,” Koonin said. “However, I think our expenses are going to go down, if you know what I mean.” Get this man a talk show!
Retro Chic AMC has to be flattered that both ABC and NBC have series clearly inspired by “Mad Men” that are set in the early 1960s. Both ABC’s “Pan Am,” featuring the defunct airline’s stewardesses and pilots, and NBC’s “The Playboy Club,” featuring the bunnies, appear to have sleek, stylish casts and costumes. TBD: whether the stories can match up.
Fairy tales
Take rhat!
Blame it on the vampires, but the supernatural will be big on TV next season. NBC’s creepy “Grimm” is inspired by Grimms’ fairy tales. ABC’s “Once Upon a Time” features Snow White and Prince Charming’s missing daughter. The surgeon in CBS’ “A Gifted Man” is haunted by the spirit of his ex-wife. Fox’s “Terra Nova” imagines a family from the future sent back to prehistoric times. A man who survived an auto accident in NBC’s “Awake” finds parallel realities — one where his wife is dead, the other where his son is dead. In ABC’s super-creepy “The River,” a family investigates the mysterious disappearance of their wildlife expert patriarch. Hard enough to keep the real world straight. CBS’s two new dramas featuring characters with superpowers: a woman who has almost total recall of everything that’s happened in her life and a man able to predict the future fates of people through their Social Security numbers. In true CBS fashion, these powers are put to use to solve gruesome crimes.
Nothing is more fun than networks taking shots at one another, since denigrating the competition helps your own business. But CBS’s corporate honcho Leslie Moonves seemed genuinely miffed hearing that both Meyer and Kimmel joked about CBS’ older audience, considered less valuable by advertisers. (“CBS is No. 1,” Kimmel said. “That’s mainly because their viewers can’t remember where they put the remote.”) Moonves noted that CBS has done better than ABC and NBC in the youthful 18-to-49year-old demographic. “We’re a little tired of those old people jokes,” he said. “They don’t work anymore. And I might venture to say, we have hotter women on CBS than on any other network.”
‘The Governator’ is put on hold LOS ANGELES (AP) — The animated series starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a superhero is officially on hold. The companies behind “The Governator” said Friday they have stopped working on the budding franchise that Schwarzenegger helped announce to much fanfare in Cannes, France, last month. “The Governator” is to star Schwarzenegger as a superhero living a double life: A family man and former governor who secretly fights global villainy alongside hip teenagers. Schwarzenegger said Thursday that he was postponing his movie projects. He acknowledged earlier this week that he fathered a child out of wedlock more than a decade ago and neglected to tell wife Maria Shriver until this year. The couple announced their separation last week.

SALISBURY POST
W E AT H E R
An agonizing wait as floodwaters head toward Louisiana town BUTTE LAROSE, La. (AP) — The final wave of holdouts has mostly packed up and left this Louisiana town as water from the swollen Atchafalaya River has inched toward their homes, with their frustration and hope painted on signs posted outside. “Nothing left worth stealing,” read one. “Stay strong. Believe,” urged another. “Our hearts are broken, but our spirits are not. We will come HOME,” are the words Kip and Gwen Bacquet spraypainted on the plastic liner that covers the entire first floor of their house. Most had left Butte LaRose days earlier amid high tension as the water continued its trek toward the area, about 45 miles west of Baton Rouge. The Army Corps of Engineers partially opened the Mississippi River’s Morganza floodway May 14 to spare Baton Rouge and New Orleans from catastrophic flooding, but the water it was diverting from the Mississippi River into the Atchafalaya Basin still hadn’t reached the town nearly a week later. While Mississippi communities that line their namesake river were waiting for floodwaters to recede Saturday, Louisiana residents in the path of diverted waters were enduring an agonizing wait. In St. Martin’s Parish, La., a mandatory evacuation was ordered to take effect Saturday, only to be pushed back at least two days after officials said the river would crest Friday at a lower level than previously thought. Meanwhile, communities along the Mississippi River in Mississippi wait for floodwaters to recede. The delayed evacuation in St. Martin’s Parish, La. is likely to be a source of both optimism and further frustration for residents who have heard the same grim forecast for days on end. Once the water comes, residents may not be able to return for weeks. They’ll have to wait until Mon-
Melville. Hundreds of homes in all the evacuated areas are believed to be at risk of flooding. The wait has been difficult for Michelle McInnis, 37, who was preparing to leave town Friday after 10 days of packing up the camp she shares with her boyfriend, Todd Broussard. She calls the National Weather Service every morning and uses the agency’s measurements to chart the slowly rising water’s progress on a calendar. McInnis, 37, was living in Sulphur, in southwest Louisiana, when Hurricane Rita wiped out her home in 2005. In some ways, she said, the threat from the rising river is tougher to endure than the fury of a hurricane. “The waiting game is worse,” she said. “This right now is mentally tormenting, this slow rising.” It was a different story in Vicksburg, Miss., where residents wanted to know Saturday when the water would finally recede. On Saturday, Chris Lynn fired up his small aluminum boat and traveled about a mile to check out his father’s house. The home sits on a 15-foot mound of dirt on the Mississippi River’s banks, much like an island in the murky water. “It looks like the water has come down about 2 inches,” Lynn said, grabbing his cell phone to call his 73-year-old father with the news. “That’s good. The floor is starting to dry out.” Sections of Vicksburg that have been flooded for weeks remain swamped Saturday with water higher than some mailboxes and street signs and up the roofs on some homes. Even though the Mississippi River is slowly falling, it is still so high that water is backing up into its tributaries, especially the Yazoo River. Marty Pope, a senior service hydrologist with the National Weather Service in

day for officials to decide whether to reinstate the evacuation order. “It’s probably a blessing for some because maybe some people who didn’t have time to do additional sandbagging will now have more time,” said Maj. Ginny Higgins, a spokeswoman for the St. Martin’s Parish sheriff’s office. Kip and Gwen Bacquet moved their furniture and other belongings to the second floor of their home, nine feet off the ground. They are bracing for up to 5 feet of water to inundate their neighborhood. Gwen Bacquet, 54, said the canal in their backyard has been rising about four inches per day. Their pier already was underwater. The couple moved here last summer for a change of pace from their native Lafayette, a city of about 120,000 some 60 miles west of Baton Rouge. The Bacquets savored their final hours before evacuating by lounging on the deck overlooking the canal in their backyard, sharing a few bittersweet laughs with two friends who came to help. “I’m probably numb,” Gwen Bacquet said. “We still don’t know what to expect.” Before leaving town, they planned for their last act: shutting off the electricity. “Would the last people to leave Butte LaRose please turn out the lights?” Kip Bacquet joked. Farther up the Atchafalaya River, St. Landry Parish imposed a mandatory evacuation last Sunday for several areas outside the ring levees protecting Krotz Springs and

Wet and active weather will continue in the Midwest Sunday as the low pressure system in the Northern Plains moves eastward into the Upper Mississippi Valley. The slow movement of this system will allow precipitation and isolated thunderstorms in parts of eastern Montana and western North Dakota to persist. More rainfall in addition to the heavy rain totals from the past couple of days will keep Flood Watches and Warnings in effect for these areas. Additional precipitation and isolated thunderstorms are expected ahead of this system in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Meanwhile, an associated warm front will remain stretched across the Ohio Valley. Bands of rainfall are expected to develop ahead of this front in Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. Behind this activity, an associated weak cold front will extend from the low southwestward into northwestern Missouri and south-central Kansas. Warm and unstable atmospheric conditions ahead of this front will translate into a slight risk of severe weather development from the Southern Plains through the Mid- and Upper Mississippi, Ohio, and Tennessee Valleys. While large hail and damaging winds will be the main concerns with these storms, a few tornadoes may also develop during the day. Elsewhere, in the West, showers will spread from the Northern Intermountain West through the Northern High Plains as a cold front moves through the Northwest. In the East, high pressure will provide dry and calm conditions to the eastern third of the nation. Expect cooler daytime highs in the Northeast as high pressure moves in from the north.

MORE THAN NASCAR
Welcome mat stays busy ne of Rowan County’s major industries is humming along nicely this year — this month especially. It has annual revenues of more than $120 million and is growing steadily. Best of all, it generates tax revenue that doesn’t come from local taxpayers’ wallets. The industry is tourism, and Rowan County is in the midst of one of its two peak months for visitors — May and October. If you think those months are big because of NASCAR races at Charlotte Motor Speedway, you’re partially right. NASCAR fans will max out most local hotels during next weekend’s Coca-Cola 600. But between the cooling of NASCAR’s white-hot popularity over the past four years, the boom in hotel construction near the speedway and lingering effects of the recession, the races’ impact on Rowan has lessened. James Meacham, executive director of the Rowan County Tourism Authority, says race fans are booking rooms later and coming for two nights instead of three. And their interest in the Sprint All-Star race has weakened. Make no mistake — the NASCAR races still bring in good business, Meacham says, but not like they used to. Not to worry. According Meacham, other events and trends continue to drive local hotel occupancy up. College graduations in May and homecomings in October have grown into major events, with Livingstone and Catawba colleges pulling in families from all over. Figures for overnight weekend stays have softened, Meacham says, but day trippers still come in a steady stream to see attractions like the Lazy 5 Ranch, Patterson Farms, N.C. Transportation Museum and Dan Nicholas Park. And business travel is strong, he says, with local motels seeing their highest occupancy on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursday. The most recent year for which Meacham has revenue totals is 2009, when Rowan was one of the few counties in the state to see an increase in tourism. That total was $120 million. Meacham says all the matrixes that he sees point to increases in 2010 and 2011. The Big Kahuna on the horizon is the Democratic National Convention, slated for Charlotte in September 2012. For four or five nights, Democrats will fill some 15,000 rooms in the region, “more than NASCAR will ever do,” Meacham says. The city and county each have a 3 percent hotel occupancy tax, which largely goes toward marketing Rowan as a tourism destination. But sales taxes generated by visitors help support local government and our quality of life here. Think of it as an upward spiral — areas with a better quality of life tend to attract more visitors, who generate more revenue that helps to continue to improve our quality of life, and so on. Tourism may peak in May and October,but it benefits Rowan County all year long.

SALISBURY POST
lthough suburban deer can be a threat to motorists and a nuisance for homeowners trying to cultivate ornamental and edible plants, I enjoy their occasional visits to my yard. No matter how often it occurs, I’m transfixed by the sight of them — usually, at least two or three — emerging silently from the trees and stealthily approaching the stunted apple trees, the oakleaf hydrangea, CHRIS the azaleas, the VERNER hostas or whatever else appears on the seasonal deer buffet. They come like over-caffeinated cat burglars, all twitchy ears and trembly legs, ready to make a frantic dash for cover if a door creaks or a chair scrapes on the deck. It makes for a lovely tableau, especially on drizzly or foggy mornings when it’s easy to imagine I’m deep in some mountain forest, rather than a few miles outside Salisbury’s city limits. But what if a cougar suddenly interrupted the scene by ripping into a doe’s jugular or dragging down a wall-eyed fawn? That disquieting vision keeps looping through my mind, inspired by a recent talk wilderness conservationist
Dave Foreman gave at the Center for the Environment at Catawba College. Foreman was cofounder of Earth First! and is now executive director of The Rewilding Institute, a non-profit that promotes wilderness conservation and restoration on a large scale. The heart of Foreman’s vision is creation of the North American Wildlands Network, which would knit together four continent-spanning “wildways,” including swaths of the Appalachian and Adirondack mountains. For a full explanation of the rewilding movement, you’ll need to dip into the institute’s website (http://rewilding.org/rewildit/). A key part of the rewilding vision — the part that made me sit up straight and pay attention — is the restoration of big carnivores like wolves and cougars. In fact, Foreman holds that restoration of big predator cats is a key piece of “rewilding” the eastern United States, or at least that portion of it that roughly tracks the Appalachian Trail. “I think the No. 1 thing we need in the East is the cougar,” he said, noting that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had studied such a project a quarter century ago and even identified potential habitats. “But nothing really came of it.”
Obvously, Foreman isn’t advocating that mountain lions be turned loose on suburbia. The idea is to connect extensive tracts of natural areas — including existing forests and wilderness areas — so that wolves, elk, cougars and such would have room to roam without encroaching on the developed world. As he points out, this reintroduction of species has occurred in parts of the West, albeit not without human-animal conflicts. In one of his blog postings, Foreman acknowledges the denser development in the East makes rewilding more problematical but says it’s “not too farfetched a dream to cobble together a Great Wildway along the Appalachians and bring back key wildlife such as cougar, red wolves, Algonquin wolves, bison, elk, wolverines, lynx, and other missing wildeors.” As an unapologetic treehugger, wildlife lover and supporter of preserving natural lands, I’m sympathetic to Foreman’s mission. I like the idea of big cats roaming wilderness areas. I don’t doubt those large carnivores are important to the overall balance of nature, as North Carolina’s deer population shows, and mountain lions apparently are secretive creatures who shun human
True wildness defies containment.
contact. But just as bears and wolves don’t always stay within the confines of their designated refuges, I suspect the same would be true for cougars. True wildness defies containment. In fact, after Foreman’s talk, a couple of people in the audience reported possible cougar sightings. (Presumably, this would not be the eastern cougar, recently declared officially extinct, although some will dispute its final demise). I love the idea of having nature outside my back door. I love the idea that bald eagles — once feared on the flight path to extinction — now nest on the shores of nearby lakes. I love the idea that restoration programs are returning red foxes, gray wolves, bison and elk to wild areas of North Carolina and other states. When we lose these species, we lose part of the natural coordinates locating our own unique place in the order of things. But as for having a cougar in the backyard, well, that’s a different animal entirely. Restoration of the wild kingdom where the big carnivores rule is an intriguing idea, but I’ll confess that as much as I may embrace the concept of wilderness, I want it on my own terms. That, I’m sure Foreman would tell me, is part of the problem. • • • Chris Verner is editorial page editor of the Salisbury Post.

mma Greene of East Spencer long ago shared a letter with the Post from a Stanly County man anticipating his execution for desertion during the Civil War. I came across the letter while digging through Post files for local Civil War connections, and it grabbed me. “I don’t want you to grieve ELIZABETH for me for I feel like I am going COOK home to die no more,” Joseph Huneycutt writes to wife Nancy. He leaves parting words for his four living children and talks of being reunited with two others in heaven. The letter was first published in the Albemarle Chronicle in 1913 and reprinted in the Post several decades later, prompted by Mrs. Green. This year’s 150th anniversary of the war’s beginning spurs me to print it again. Desertion was a common occurence among Confederate troops as the war wore on. Men worried about their fami-

March 3rd, 1865 My Dear Wife: I have to state to you the sad news that tomorrow at 12 o’clock that I have to die. I have to be shot to death for starting home to see my wife and dear children and was arrested and brought back and court-martialed and am to be shot at 12 o’clock. Me and D.M. Furr have to die. But thanks be to God I am not afraid to die. I think when I leave this world I shall be where Mary and Martha are. Dear wife, don’t grieve for me. Try and not. I drempt last night of seeing you but I shall never. You shall see your hubby no more. I want you to raise my children in the way that they should go. My dear son Julius, this is my last order to you. I want you to be a good boy and try to serve God and be a good man. Farewell, Julius. I must leave this world. And my son Ephriam, try and be a good man and serve God. My dear daughter Rebecca Heseltine, I bid farewell to you. Be a good girl and go to preaching. Farewell my dear son Joel, you have no daddy now. Be a smart boy and mind your mother. My dear wife Nancy, I have to bid farewell
to you. I want you to keep what things you have and pay my debts. I want Julius and Ephriam to have my shop tools and I want them to take good care of them and remember me. I have a little looking glass that I want to send to Rebecca. I want her to remember me. I have a good blanket I will get and send home. Will send my things with — Lefler, and try and get him to send them home if he will, and I have 25 or 30 dollars and I will spend $5 of that in the morning before I suffer. Dear wife, that is four months service. I can’t write like if I was not in trouble. I don’t mind death like I do to leave my family for I have to suffer so much here that I don’t fear. I don’t want you to grieve for me for I feel like I am going home to die no more. I hope I shall be with shining angels and be out of trouble. I have got a little book I want Joel to have and remember me. It has some pretty lines. I want you to send them children to school, and son Julius, I can’t hear from you anymore. I sent him a letter but got no answer. I pity poor Julius for he has had no chance. I have got no chance to write so I must close my letter. March 4th, 1865 A few lines to Daniel Lefler and Jane Lefler. I bid farewell to you and my dear mother; I bid farewell to you and father
and brothers and sisters. I must leave this world. Farewell Julius, my dear son. I want you all to meet me in heaven. Joseph Huneycutt To Nancy Huneycutt, farewell, farewell. P.S. — I want you to have funeral preached at Pleasant Grove. I want Columbus Foreman to preach it, and sing “I Am Going Home to Die No More.” This is the 4th day of March at 9 o’clock. I must soon be in eternity. I don’t desire this but I am not afraid to die. I want you to get all of the children’s funerals preached that are dead. Nancy, I want to see you one more time if I could but we can’t meet any more. I want you and all the children to meet me in heaven.

A tradition of daring operations T
A vulnerable voice is heard Too often, the powerful get away with abusive behavior hey listened to the woman. That is the most remarkable part of the sordid sex scandal ensnaring Dominique StraussKahn, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund, who stands accused of attacking a maid in a New York hotel room. Powerful men have always manhandled vulnerable woman and gotten away with it. Victims often chose silence over justice because they feared that the criminal system would reject their accusations or, worse yet, blame them for the assault. The “blame STEVE & victim” synCOKIE ROBERTS the drome is so pervasive that even an honorable institution like the Peace Corps fell into that pattern. A former volunteer, Karestan Koenen, recently told a congressional hearing that after she was raped in the African country of Niger, the official investigating the case told her, “I am so sick of you girls going out with men, drinking and dancing, and then when something happens, you call it rape.” “The treatment by the Peace Corps was worse than the rape,” said Koenen. If you replace “Peace Corps” with “military” or “university” or “police” or almost any other institution in our society, Koenen’s statement would apply to countless women who have been victimized twice: by a man who felt free to assault them and a system that felt free to ignore them. So the events in New York represent real change. The alleged victim had the courage to speak out. Her bosses took her seriously. The cops pulled Strauss-Kahn off a plane 10 minutes before it left for Paris. The district attorney charged him with attempted rape. The judge denied him bail. Lawyers for Strauss-Kahn, a major figure in French politics known as DSK, claim he’s inno-
T
cent. But an assistant DA gave the court a graphic account: “The defendant restrained a hotel employee inside of the room. He sexually assaulted her and attempted to forcibly rape her.” For emphasis, he added: “The victim provided very powerful details consistent with violent sexual assault committed by the defendant.” Forensic evidence supported her “version of events.” Strauss-Kahn has gotten away with abusive behavior for years, protected by a French code that tolerates — and even admires — potent politicians. He clearly follows the ancient tradition of “droit de seigneur” (yes, ironically, a French phrase) that literally means “the right of the lord.” In medieval times, a nobleman could claim the virtue of his vassals’ daughters. In the modern version, a hotel maid will do if no virgins or vassals are handy. After years of coverups, the stories are now spilling out. Actress Danielle Evenou said on French radio, “Who hasn’t been cornered by Dominique StraussKahn?” Writer Tristane Banon claims he came after her “like a chimpanzee in heat” during a 2002 interview. As she told French TV, “I kicked him several times, he unbuttoned my bra ... and tried to unzip my jeans.” On the advice of her own mother, an official in DSK’s Socialist party, Banon never filed a complaint. “I didn’t wish to be the girl who had a problem with a politician for the rest of my life,” she explained. But her lawyer says she is now likely to bring charges because “she knows she’ll be heard and she knows she’ll be taken seriously.” That’s progress. Piroska Nagy, a Hungarian economist at the IMF, consented to a brief affair with Strauss-Kahn but felt she had no choice, given his stature and influence over her career. In a letter to the fund’s board, she echoed the lament of many women faced with a predatory boss: “I was damned if I did and damned if I didn’t.” Any American who wants to

feel superior to the French should stifle the impulse. As that congressional hearing revealed, the Peace Corps has a poor record in dealing with sexual abuse. According to an ABC investigation, more than a thousand volunteers reported attacks between 2000 and 2009, but many others stayed silent because the Corps’ response to their complaints was often “callous, dismissive or woefully insufficient,” according to Koenen, the former volunteer. The army, if anything, is even more protective of predators. A recent lawsuit filed by 17 female soldiers against Defense Secretary Robert Gates, and his prede-
cessor, Donald Rumsfeld, alleges that they “ran institutions in which perpetrators were promoted ... in which plaintiffs and other victims were openly subjected to retaliation ... and ordered to keep quiet.” We don’t expect the world to change because one brave woman refused to keep quiet, and one powerful man found himself in a Manhattan courtroom, facing the consequences of his actions. But it’s a start. • • • Steve and Cokie’s new book, “Our Haggadah” (HarperCollins), was published this spring. Email: stevecokie@gmail.com.
Crumbling U.S. infrastructure again on display t a potential cost to the U.S. economy of millions of dollars, the 80-year-old, overstressed system of levees and spillways on the Mississippi River has to be shut down temporarily. A main bridge in Minneapolis collapses, killing 13 people. Ancient water lines and sewer lines rupture in the nation’s capital. An analysis by ANN the Urban Land InMCFEATTERS stitute and Ernst and Young finds China is spending 9 percent of its GDP on infrastructure; the United States is spending less than 3 percent. China plans completion of a 10,000-mile high-speed rail system in nine years; the United States is still grappling with a years’ long controversy over rail. Brazil and India also have pulled ahead in planning to meet transportation needs. America’s crumbling, outmoded infrastructure has become one of those political discussions that make eyes glaze over and knuckles turn white with boredom. But it will prove as vital as America’s dependence on foreign oil in its potential to doom our economic superiority. The results are everywhere. Spring rains after winter’s storms create enormous potholes. Devastating floods and droughts are catastrophic. Traffic jams reduce productivity by millions of hours. Endless conferences and warnings by experts have highlighted the problem — as did the 2007 disaster in Minneapolis. President Barack Obama acknowledged crumbling infrastructure as a threat to the country’s future, along with energy dependence and the need for more innovation. Events, and a global economic meltdown, got in the way.

For 30 years, the United States has defied the need to repair and upgrade its infrastructure, spending the money on war, on defense, on entitlements — everything but making sure the roof wouldn’t leak. Leaks are appearing. The horrific $14 trillion national debt has spooked everyone; we will spend the summer debating whether the United States will default on its debts come August. Rightly insisting that the status quo has to change, Republicans are determined to wring out a compromise that drastically cuts spending. Democrats are determined not to be bullied into cuts they argue will hurt the poor. Hand in hand, Congress and the White House are traveling the road of political expediency, refusing to make the necessary spending decisions today that will keep the nation great tomorrow.
The new Urban Land Institute/Ernst and Young infrastructure report (available on the ULI web site www.uli.org) warns that the country will reach a breaking point in the next 5-10 years as calamities mount and the public panics. By then, the cost will be exorbitant. Last year a bipartisan panel of 80 experts begged the nation to act, setting aside $250 billion a year to repair and upgrade water treatment plants, water and sewer lines, dams, roads, bridges, rail and air systems. If we do not act, which looks likely because of the determination in Washington to cut spending — Congress consistently refuses to pass a surface transportation planning act, this is what will happen: Americans will spend an evergreater portion of their incomes on services such as tap water, some of which will be undrinkable. There will be new tolls on highway driv-
ing and bridges and existing tolls will dramatically increase. Gasoline prices will soar, pushed by higher federal gas taxes. Some cash-strapped cities will simply stop providing basic services, letting private companies take them over. Road maintenance in rural areas will become problematic. Bridges will collapse and not be rebuilt. The badly needed new national electric grid to save energy will not be developed. A state-of-the-art satellite air traffic control system will not be built. In 30 years, there will be almost 100 million more people living in the United States, but the infrastructure will not support 400 million Americans. • • • Scripps Howard columnist Ann McFeatters has covered the White House and national politics since 1986.

he raid into Pakistan by U.S. SEAL Team 6, which resulted in the killing of Osama bin Laden, provides a striking demonstration of the distinctive importance of unconventional operations in the ongoing struggle against terrorist groups. The roles of Special Forces have been varied; their history is crucial to insight and understanding. UnconvenARTHUR I. tional operaCYR tions are as old as warfare, have been significant throughout American history and began to play an especially important modern role during World War II. In that conflict, the Office of Strategic Services, the predecessor of the CIA, was effective in launching daring operations as well as gathering information in Nazi occupied Europe. In the Pacific theater, the exploits of Merrill’s Marauders captured the public imagination. The Army’s Special Forces date from the earliest years of the Cold War, though accompanied by considerable irony. During the 1952 presidential campaign, Republican Party leaders promised to “liberate” Eastern Europe from the occupying Red Army. Given the many voters of East European heritage in the U.S., especially in major urban areas in populated states, this had considerable political appeal. After Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt’s four successive White House election landslides, followed by successor Harry Truman’s stunning surprise re-election in 1948, Republicans were truly desperate for victory. This reinforced already growing anticommunist alarm in American domestic politics and very aggressive attitudes in foreign policy. Apparently, the containment policy regarding the Soviet Union put in place with great effort by the Truman administration was to be abandoned. After the landslide election of the Republican ticket of Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon, new Army special operations teams were created, accompanied by increased propaganda. However, Eisenhower also quickly locked up Special Forces in favor of the conventional military, while reconfirming containment. The military overall was operationally restricted, and budgets cut. By careful design, the president and Pentagon remained publicly insulated. In reality, Eisenhower was intensely engaged, obsessed with securing accurate intelligence, ruthless in ensuring success of covert operations in Guatemala, Iran and elsewhere. In London during the war, Ike had become a master at managing the media as well as temperamental warriors. In the White House, he was constantly concerned about a possible nuclear Pearl Harbor initiated by Moscow, while simultaneously anxious to avoid direct confrontation with the other superpower. Posture changed markedly with the Kennedy administration. The Army’s Green Berets assumed stage center, the Navy SEALs were formed in 1962, and the White House became visibly involved. President John F. Kennedy had a special affection for the SEALs, reflecting personal experience. Despite serious illnesses that plagued Kennedy throughout his life, in World War II he managed to enlist in the Navy, after the Army turned him down flat on health grounds. He then volunteered for extremely dangerous special patrol boat duty. JFK demonstrated considerable heroism after his patrol boat PT-109 was rammed by a Japanese destroyer. In the fluid environment since the Cold War, special operations have evolved but essential elements remain constant. The SEAL Team 6 mission demonstrates the vital importance of accurate intelligence, careful planning — and daring personalities • • • Arthur I.

INSIGHT
Our Constitution: How many citizens actually know it? homas Jefferson often insisted that the ultimate guardians of our rights and liberties are We The People. But when many Americans are largely ignorant of the Constitution, an imperial president — like George W. Bush or Barack Obama — can inNAT creasingly invade our HENTOFF privacy; and now, with Obamacare, ration our health care and — for some — our very lives. But our Founders, insistent on not replacing George III with a made-inAmerica king, mandated the constitutional separation of powers to prevent any president, including the two I cited earlier, from utterly disregarding Congress and the courts. Among our imminent and future voters — students in our schools — how many know about the separation of powers? In the National Assessment of Educational Progress — NAEP (“The nation’s report card”): “Only one in 10 demonstrated acceptable knowledge of the checks and balances among the legislative, executive and judicial branches, according to test results released on Wednesday.” (New York Times, May 4) And what of their parents? Of 1,000 citizens who were asked in a Newsweek poll: “‘What is the supreme law of the land?’ 70 percent of the 1,000 citizens polled by Newsweek couldn’t answer correctly.” (ABC News, May 13). Answer: The Constitution! Among the high-school seniors surveyed by the NAEP, three-quarters could not name “a power granted to Congress by the Constitution.” What most startled me was “the nation’s report card” revealing that “a smaller proportion of fourth- and eighth-graders demonstrated proficiency in civics (who we are as Americans) than in any other subject the federal government has tested since 2005, except history, American students’ worst subject.” The cold truth about this crisis among a supposedly self-governing citizenry is stated by former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor: “Knowledge of our system of government

First Lady Michelle Obama exercises on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington Monday during an event to promote physical fitness among military families. She has made fitness and better nutrition for children one of her priorities.
Eat, drink and watch out Regulations won’t solve obesity problem EW YORK — Once upon a time, Ma would say: “Sit up and eat your vegetables.” Pa said: “Don’t talk with your mouth full." Other common utterances included: “Go outside and play.” And, “After you finish your chores.” Families may not have been happier — and family KATHLEEN dinners may have been PARKER daily rituals of tiny tortures (the ennui that passeth all understanding) — but neither were the words “childhood obesity” part of the vernacular. Fat kids (can we say that?) have always been among us, but obesity was not the plague it is today. Nor was it necessary for the federal government to instruct families about how and what to eat. We all knew the pyramid scheme of nutrition. I seem to remember it tacked to school bulletin boards, just beneath the portrait of George Washington. This isn’t nostalgia speaking. And though I tried to provide family dinners most nights when the kids were small, I told my son when he left for college: “You’re gonna miss my takeout.” Then again, it’s no mystery why kids are fatter these days or what is required to fix the problem. Eat less; move more; listen to your parents — if you can find them. Hold the Nobel. Really. Bless Michelle Obama for trying to get the word out that eating vegetables and playing ball are, as Martha Stewart would put it, “good things.” I’m as willing as anyone to be cynical about such insights — and hated nanny statism before it was cool. Yet the message is important and someone has to say it. Who better than the mother in chief? But maternal advice is one thing and a governmentenforced nutritional mandate is another. Trans fats are now outlawed in places; spuds in school lunches are the latest target. Personally, I wouldn’t touch a trans fat if you wrapped it in gold and sprinkled it with diamonds, but this is because I can read, comprehend, digest, recall and act on the free will allotted to all sentient adults. In the absence of willpower among some, should trans fats be forbidden to all? Where exactly does one stop drawing that little line? The questions of when and whether the government
N
should intervene in matters of personal taste are not harmless. As government becomes more involved in health decisions, as inevitably will be the case under the Affordable Health Care Act, government necessarily will become more involved in personal nutrition issues. The same strategy that created pariahs out of smokers now is being aimed at people who eat unattractively. It isn’t only that you’re hurting yourself by eating too much of the wrong foods; you’re hurting the rest of us by willfully contributing to your own poor health and therefore to the cost of public health. Fat is the new nicotine.
Eat less; move more; listen to your parents. Once the numbers crunchers start quantifying the cost to society incurred by people who eat too much ($100 billion a year, according to one estimate), you can be sure that not-such-goodthings are coming your way soon. Think Nurse Ratched in an apron. The stats are alarming, to be sure, especially regarding children. The rate of childhood obesity has doubled for preschool children in the past three decades. About 9 million children over age 6 are considered obese. The issue isn’t only about spuds in the school lunches, though overconsumption of
judiciary in the same hands ... may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” (James Madison, Federalist Papers 47) Another former Supreme Court Justice, David Souter, said during a retirement speech at the National Archives Museum (May 21, 2009) that who we are as Americans (if we only knew) “can be lost, is being lost, it is lost.” What’s needed “is the restoration of the self identity of the American people.” (My column, “Who Are We as Americans?” cato.org, June 25, 2009). There are classrooms and a few school systems where students are finally discovering their self-identity as Americans, but very far from enough of them. But dig this April 7 Baltimore Sun story by Liz Bowie: “with a passion for constitutional questions ... a group of mostly foreign born students from Randallstown High School beat out teams from schools in (other counties) for a chance to represent Maryland in a national social studies contest. Perhaps it is because they came mostly from Nigeria, Liberia, Granada and Egypt ... these students, with the help of their teacher, have turned the new experiences of living in a democracy into a quest to win the We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution National Finals to be held in Washington this weekend.” U.S. students born and raised here in poverty, and to parents discriminated against on racial, ethnic or religious grounds, used to be called “disadvantaged” in our schools. Now, in a dangerous challenge on how long our Constitution will be fully functioning with regard to individual rights and liberties, it is accurate to describe a great majority of America-born students as being deeply disadvantaged for not being able to say confidently: “We know our rights!” • • • Nat Hentoff is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute.

high glycemic carbohydrates has to be factored into any calculation about obesity. At least as significant, if not utterly crucial, are poverty and shattered families, which often go hand-in-hand. Also significant are the high cost of healthy food (rent “Food Inc.” for an overview) versus cheap, fast food. Our drive-through culture, which applies to relationships as well as mealtimes, is the real enemy of fitness and health. Thus, it seems clear that the real solution to obesity isn’t more government regulation but more personal responsibility. I know, sheer genius. This now-dusty notion is the impetus behind the recently launched “Together Counts” campaign, created by The Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation, a coalition of 160 organizations. Essentially, it’s a private effort to encourage families to become healthier by spending more time exercising and eating together. Once upon a time we called this “life,” but we post-modernists apparently need a little help with the basics. At minimum, we need a website: www.togethercounts.com). Whatever works, I reckon, but, fuddy-duddily speaking, more chores and fewer gadgets — and married parents who torture their kids with rules — probably would do the trick as well. As with most problems, the solution is family. • • • Email: kathleenparker@ washpost.com.
is not handed down through the gene pool. ... But we have neglected civic education for the past several decades, and the results are predictably dismal.” She also lamented: “Barely onethird of Americans can even name the three branches of government.” (jewishworldreview.com, April 28, and Education week, May 4). She adds: “We face difficult challenges at home and abroad.” (I would add, indefinitely.) “Meanwhile,” O’Connor continues: “Divisive rhetoric and a culture of sound bites threaten to drown out rational dialogue and debate. We cannot afford to continue to neglect the preparation of future generations for active and informed citizenship.” (New York Times, “Civics Education Called National Crisis,” May 5). I expect the name Alexis De Tocqueville is unknown these days to most Americans, but his “Democracy in America” (written in 1831 after visiting this new nation) used to be studied in some of our schools, revealing that in the early 1800s: “In New England, every citizen receives the elementary notions of human knowledge; he is moreover taught the doctrines and the evidences of his religion, the history of his country, and the leading features of his Constitution.” In 2011, says Charles Quigley, head of the Center for Civic Education, the NAEP test shows that “only 4 percent of all 12th graders ... (are at) a level we would hope our future leaders would attain.” Many of these students will be voting in 2012. I would sure like to give the NAEP test to such of our present leaders as members of Congress. President Obama, who actually taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago, would pass the test in a breeze. But will his unilateral suspensions of the separation of powers, the Fourth Amendment and the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment even be mentioned during the 2012 campaigns? Not by loyal Democrats. And which of the Republican candidates for the presidency and Congress will insistently protest this national crisis of rampant ignorance of the Constitution? Is this still the America of James Madison? “The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive and

Independent stores on rise as BookExpo nears BY HILLEL ITALIE
SALISBURY POST
Associated Press
Deirdre Parker Smith, Book Page Editor
NEW YORK — For the second straight year, independent booksellers will have good news to share as they gather with the rest of the publishing industry for BookExpo America. The number of stores in the American Booksellers Association has again gone up. And they can thank, in part, the real estate bust. “The soft real estate market absolutely works to our advantage,” says Oren Teicher, CEO of the booksellers association, which represents independent stores. “Landlords are far more willing to negotiate for new owners and existing stores have been able to renegotiate their leases.” In a reversal from a decade ago, Borders is shutting down stores, while independents are adding them. According to the booksellers association, membership increased by 102, from 1,410 to 1,502, the biggest jump in years for an organization that had been more than cut in half by superstores, the Internet and the economy. In 2010, membership edged up from 1,401 to 1,410. Independent stores are still going out of business, with recent examples including Special Occasions in Winston-Salem, and San Francisco’s A Different Light. But Teicher says more people are looking to open stores than in previous years, and some stores that had not been members have changed their minds. The association also is looking to take advantage of Borders’ troubles. The superstore chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in February and plans to close 200 stores. “We’re working on a project to help some stores where Borders has closed. There is an opportunity in some markets that might be underserved,” Teicher says. Thousands of booksellers, publishers, authors and agents are expected at BookExpo America, the annual national convention, to be held next week, May 23-26, at the Jacob K. Javits Center. Featured speakers will include Pulitzer Prize winning novelist Jeff Eugenides, “Sookie Stackhouse” author Charlaine Harris, Man Booker Prize winner Anne Enright and actress-writers Jane Fonda, Julianne Moore and Diane

Book on Rowan Rifle Guards available at Rowan Museum The Rowan Museum at 202 N. Main St. has for sale the newly released “The Rowan Rifle Guards, a History of Company K, 4th Regiment, North Carolina State Troops 1857-1865.” The book was written by Phillip Hatfield, Ph. D., of Raeford, and the copies have been signed by the author. Tom Belton, curator of military history of the N.C. Museum of History in Raleigh, says, “It is a detailed account of the experiences of a North Carolina infantry company in the American Civil War.” From the back cover: “The Rowan Rifle Guards initially formed in 1857 as a Volunteer infantry company. Those zealous young men saw membership as more of a social stepping stone than military service. When the Civil War erupted in April of 1861, sixty-five excited volunteers hastily stepped forward to help garrison the North Carolina coast. Re-designated as Company K, 4th North Carolina State Troops in July, 1861, the Rowan Rifles ranks swelled with over one hundred men. Company K served in every bloody engagement waged by the Army of Northern Virginia. As in all wars, the harsh realities of active campaign quickly destroyed any naïve misconceptions of finding glory in the war. This epic struggle tested their devotion to principal and to each other. The shattered company surrendered sixteen survivors at Appomattox on April 9, 1865 as a testament to their faithfulness. The transition of this antebellum era Volunteer militia unit into battle hardened veterans is documented using several previously unpublished soldier accounts and military documents.” The author holds degrees in psychology and history. A member of the Company of Military Historians since 2006, Hatfield has published several articles related to North Carolina and West Virginia in the Civil War. He is a native of West Virginia and moved to North Carolina in 1992. He is a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom and participated in rescue operations after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Employed by the federal government at Fort Bragg, he is planning more studies related to the 4th NCST for future publication. The book is $25. The museum is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 1-4 p.m.
Is end of traditional books near? For lovers of paper-and-cardboard books, here is some sobering news: Amazon.com Inc., after less than four years of selling electronic books, is now selling more of them than printed books. Since April 1, it has sold 105 e-books for every 100 printed books, including printed books for which there is no electronic edition. Printed books include both hardcover and paperbacks. In July Amazon said e-book sales had passed hardcover sales. It’s now selling three times as many e-books as it did a year ago. Analysts estimate that Amazon accounts for about two-thirds of U.S. e-book sales. Amazon also said the latest and cheapest version of its Kindle is the best-seller of the line, five weeks after it was introduced. The Kindle with Special Offers costs $114, and shows ads in standby mode. Is this the end of the bibliophile world as we know it? Tell us what you think by commenting on this story or emailing dp1@salisburypost.com. We’ll share your feelings next week.

among the celebrities pitching books this year will be Jane Fonda, diane Keaton and Julianne Moore. Keaton.
More digital An attendee who skipped the past couple of conventions will find a very different floor plan. Two years ago, just a handful of kiosks were devoted to digital publishing, according to BEA event director Steven Rosato. The digital real estate jumped to 6,000 square feet in 2010 and is expected to reach 10,000 square feet this year. Digital screens at the main entrances will offer live updates on convention-related Twitter feeds. Among international publishers, China’s space will have more than tripled, to 2,900 square feet. Independent sellers are holding on at a time when the industry is changing so fast that “bookstore” and “publisher” have become open concepts. Apple, maker of the iPad, will be hosting events throughout the convention at its store in downtown Manhattan, with featured authors including David Baldacci, Christopher Paolini and Erik Larson. Amazon.com has been a longtime presence as a retailer, but for the first time will have a booth dedicated to its ever-expanding book publishing program. “Like other publishers, we’re excited for booksellers and other industry folks to have a chance to check out our books in person and meet some of the authors who will be signing at our booth,” said Amazon spokeswoman Sarah Gelman. “We’re looking forward to
having a chance to introduce our authors to potential readers.” “Barnes & Noble did something similar a few years ago; the business goes through cycles,” says HarperCollins Publishers CEO Brian Murray, referring to Barnes & Noble’s 2003 acquisition of Sterling Publishing. “I’m just watching to see what it (Amazon’s publishing) means. There’s a potential conflict for Amazon if it’s a retailer and a publisher and agent.”
E-books surge ahead Publishers have been reporting e-book sales of 15-20 percent and higher of the total market, double from this point last year, and Amazon.com now says Kindle sales are higher than hardcover and paperback combined. Barnes & Noble is expected to announce a new version of its ereader, the Nook, during the convention. For the e-phobic independent store, and some still are, the booksellers association suggests a BookExpo seminar called “E-Books 101.” “Are you lost in the e-book woods?” the program’s description reads. “You are not alone! Come to this beginner-level discussion about the rapidly evolving digital marketplace. This session is for booksellers who need basic answers about what e-books are, how they are used and why they matter.” Book people are dedicated worriers and e-books have opened a new channel for con-
cerns. A few years ago, publishers debated whether high prices for hardcovers were driving away customers and turned increasingly to issuing books as paperback originals. Now, the question is whether prices have dropped too far as readers download cheap e-books and free ones. Amanda Hocking became a selfpublishing sensation after selling her paranormal novels for $2.99 and less on Amazon. E-books could also relieve one of the industry’s oldest headaches: how books are distributed. Publishers and stores have acknowledged the inefficiency of a system that often leads to large amounts of books being returned unsold or a store being left without stock when a book becomes a sudden bestseller. E-books have no “returns” and never run out of supply. But publishers say stores are a proven way to promote books in general. “Physical bookstores are incredibly effective vehicles for publishers to get out books and introduce authors, especially new authors,” Murray of HarperCollins says. “And what happens when people don’t visit the bookstores as frequently and that discovery has to take place on a tablet or an e-reader device, where the amount of real estate is so small, when you’re talking about a 10-inch screen? “It’s very hard to introduce hundreds of books on a very small screen.”
N.C. Writers’ Network announces spring literary contest winners The North Carolina Writers’ Network has announced the winners of its four spring literary awards as part of its continuing mission to foster the literary arts in the Tar Heel State. Rocky Mount resident Pepper Capps Hill penned the winning essay for the 2011 Rose Post Creative Nonfiction Competition. Hill, a museum educator at the Cape Fear Museum of History and Science, won $300 and publication in Southern Cultures for her essay, “There’s No Crying in a Tobacco Field.” “This essay took me into a world I barely knew — a North Carolina tobacco field,” said author and final judge Jay Varner. “Here is a piece wrestling with the hard lessons learned plucking leaves from the field and longterm medical concerns these former tobacco kids could face.” Kristin Fitzpatrick of Alameda, Calif., won the 2011 Thomas Wolfe Fiction Prize for her short
story, “Queen City Playhouse.” Fitzpatrick, the 2009-2010 Writerin-Residence at The Seven Hills School in Cincinnati, Ohio, received $1,000, and her story will be considered for publication in a forthcoming issue of The Thomas Wolfe Review. Thomas Wolf of Chapel Hill won the 2011 Doris Betts Fiction Prize for his short story, “Boundaries.” Wolf received a prize of $250, and his story will be published in the 2012 issue of the North Carolina Literary Review. This is Wolf’s second Doris Betts Fiction Prize; he also won in 2007 with his short story, “Distance.” Author and longtime Charlotte Observer writer Dannye Romine Powell won the 2011 Randall Jarrell Poetry Competition for her poem “I Am the Girl.” Powell received $200, and her winning poem, selected from close to 100 entries, will be considered for publication in the literary journal The Crucible.
“It’s a poem strongly driven by voice and idea,” said final judge and poet Dan Albergotti. “I love how this deceptively simple poem navigates what is actually highly complex at the level of syntax, temporality, perspective and emotion.” The Randall Jarrell Poetry Competition is open to any writer who is a legal resident of North Carolina or a member of the Writers’ Network. The same is true for both the Rose Post Creative Nonfiction Competition (which honors the longtime Salisbury Post columnist) and the Doris Betts Fiction Prize (honoring the author and Alumni Distinguished Professor Emerita at UNC-Chapel Hill of the same name). Two honorable mentions were awarded for the Thomas Wolfe Fiction Prize, which honors the acclaimed novelist and North Carolina native and accepts submissions from writers regardless
of geographic location: Lisa Gornick of New York, N.Y., for her short story, “Eleanor,” and Barbara Modrack of Brighton, Mich., for “Gone.” Joseph Cavano’s short story, “The Honey Wagon,” won second-place in the 2011 Doris Betts Fiction Prize, while the poem “From Dry Seed Casings” by Mary Jo Amani was named runner-up for the 2011 Randall Jarrell Poetry Competition. Prizes of $200 and $100 were awarded to the second- and thirdplace 2011 Rose Post Creative Nonfiction Competition finisher, Davidson writer Cynthia Lewis, who collected both consolation prizes for her essays, “That Dress, That Hat” and “Secret Sharing: Coming Out in Charleston.” The nonprofit North Carolina Writers’ Network is the state’s oldest and largest literary arts services organization devoted to writers at all stages of development.

Letters reveal much about famous correspondents BY REBECCA HYDE Rowan Public Library
Thomas Mallon’s “Yours Ever: People and Their Letters” is not an anthology but a love letter to the art and craft of letter writing. It is a very personal and judgmental survey. Mallon describes it as “a kind of long cover letter to the cornucopia of titles” in the bibliography, from which the reader can choose the selected or collected letters of so-and-so. The book is loosely organized around the circumstances of life motivating the letters: absence, friendship, advice, complaint, love, spirit, confession, war and prison. Sorting the collections was like herding cats. And letter writing itself is changing. What is a blog? “Half diary, half letter-to-theworld,” says Mallon. If a reader is inspired to dip in or consume one of the titles mentioned, Mallon will have no regrets for the years spent on the project. The correspondence is sometimes an introduction to a family and their times: “The most important letter Jessica Mitford ever wrote was a forgery, addressed to herself (‘Darling Decca’) at the
age of nineteen on February 3, 1937.” This forged invitation to a European tour from an imaginary girlfriend and her well-positioned family was intended to be Jessica’s ticket to war-torn Spain and elopement with her second cousin. The couple transmitted news of the Spanish war for a press bureau. Mitford continued to write letters during her life as a muckraker and Communist Party member. A second marriage was long and happy. Before her death in 1996, friends had already died off, and Mitford realized that “she missed the arrival of their letters more than the people themselves.” Examining Wilfred Owen’s World War I correspondence, Mallon remarks that Owen was never a natural soldier, rather a boy drawn to botany, evangelical religion and Keats. An older poet, Siegfried Sassoon, offered some “military-sounding” literary advice: “Sweat your guts out writing poetry,” and don’t publish too early. Owen was killed a week before the Armistice. The power of the letters, Mallon concludes, makes one almost forget that Owen’s poetry made his reputation.
Will Mallon’s book motivate us to write letters? Perhaps, if we start with a “thank-you”? See “Just a Note to Say...” by Florence Isaacs. Computer classes: Classes are free.

Hall of Famer has tumors Associated Press NEW YORK— Hall of Fame catcher Gary Carter said doctors discovered four “very small” brain tumors after he had an MRI on Friday in Florida. The 57-year-old Carter said he expects to learn more about his diagnosis when he is examined again Thursday at Duke Medical Center. “My wife, Sandy, and our children and family thank you for your thoughts and prayers,” Carter said in a release issued Saturday by the New York Mets and baseball’s Hall of Fame. “We ask that you please respect our privacy as we learn more about my medical condition.” The statement did not say whether the tumors are malignant or benign. Friends and former teammates were stunned when they heard the news. “The last time I saw him a couple months ago, he looked well. He was Gary,” said Mets first base coach Mookie Wilson, a teammate of Carter’s in the 1980s. “He seemed himself. No indication anything was wrong. “Whatever the situation may be, of course I wish him well. And I hope things turn out for the best.” Lee Mazzilli, another teammate on the 1986 Mets, was on his way to Yankee Stadium when his wife called him with the news about Carter. He said he plans to reach out to Carter and his family when the time is right. “You hope that it’s not what you think it is,” said Mazzilli, who works in corporate sales and sponsorships for the Yankees. “It breaks your heart. But I think if anyone has an optimistic outlook, he has one.”
Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — Cliff Lee threw eight dominant innings against the team he led to the World Series last year, Ryan Howard hit a solo homer and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Texas Rangers 2-0 Saturday night. Lee (3-4) allowed five hits and struck out 10 to earn his first win since April 14. The lefty helped the Rangers capture the first AL pennant in franchise history after joining them last July. But he turned down more money from Texas and the New York Yankees to return to Philadelphia, signing a $120 million, five-year deal. Rangers starter Colby Lewis (4-5) gave up two runs and seven hits in 6 2-3 innings. Howard snapped a career-worst 0 for 23 slump when he connected to give the NL East-leading Phillies a 1-0 lead in the second. Yankees 7, Mets 3 NEW YORK — Mark Teixeira homered for the third straight game, Alex Rodriguez also connected and the New York Yankees went deep four times to back A.J. Burnett (5-3) in a victory over the Mets. Russell Martin and Curtis Granderson also homered as the Yankees evened the Subway Series at one apiece and snapped a six-game skid at home — their longest since 2003. White Sox 9, Dodgers 2 CHICAGO — Mark Buehrle threw seven strong innings to become the career victories leader in interleague play, Paul Konerko drove in three runs and the Chicago White Sox beat the Los Angeles Dodgers. Buehrle (4-3) allowed seven hits and two runs to win for the third time in four starts, giving him his 24th interleague victory — breaking his tie with Jamie Moyer atop the career list. He struck out one, and didn’t walk anyone for the second time in three starts. Alex Rios and Brent Lillibridge homered in Chicago’s 16-hit attack. Blue Jays 7, Astros 5 TORONTO — Jose Bautista hit two home runs, increasing his major league leading total to 18, Yunel Escobar added a tie-breaking drive and the Toronto Blue Jays rallied to beat the Houston Astros. Bautista hit a a three-run drive to left off Brett Myers in the sixth and added a solo shot to left against Jose Valdez in the eighth. It was his third multihomer game of the season and 14th of his career. Escobar’s shot also came off Myers (14), who has not won since April 12, a span of seven starts. Giants 3, Athletics 0 SAN FRANCISCO — Tim Lincecum pitched a three-hitter, and the San Francisco Giants beat the cross-bay rival Oakland Athletics for their fourth straight victory. The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner allowed Ryan Sweeney’s two-out single in the first before retiring 21 straight batters, leading the Giants past the A’s for the second day in a row. Lincecum (4-4) struck out five and walked none for his eighth career complete game, handing Oakland its fourth straight loss. Cardinals 3, Royals 0 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jake Westbrook pitched eight shutout innings and Matt Holliday broke a scoreless tie with a two-run homer in the eighth, lifting St. Louis over Kansas City. Westbrook, (4-3) whose longest start this year had been seven innings, gave up four hits, with three walks and three strikeouts

Kansas City’s Nate Adcock went five scoreless innings in his first major league start. Indians 2, Reds 1 CLEVELAND — Travis Buck hit a goahead two-run homer in the seventh inning to give Josh Tomlin and the Cleveland Indians a victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Buck connected with two outs against Homer Bailey (3-1), who took a one-hitter into the seventh before the Reds tied their season-high losing streak at four games. Orioles 8, Nationals 3 BALTIMORE — Jeremy Guthrie pitched seven solid innings to win for the first time since opening day, and Nolan Reimold’s two-run homer keyed a four-run third inning as the Baltimore Orioles beat the Washington Nationals. Guthrie (2-6) allowed just two unearned runs and hadn’t won in his past seven starts. He came in with the poorest run support of any American League starter. The Orioles, who ended a four-game losing streak, hadn’t scored while he was on the mound in his previous three starts. He allowed two unearned runs in the third inning when first baseman Brandon Snyder booted a ball that Laynce Nix hit. Guthrie allowed five hits, striking out four and walking one. The Orioles scored four runs off John Lannan (2-5) in the third. Lannan hasn’t won in his last six starts. Marlins 5, Rays 3 MIAMI — Javier Vazquez pitched seven shutout innings in his best start of the season, and the Florida Marlins defeated cross-state rival Tampa Bay for the second day in a row. Vazquez (3-4) had made only one quality start previously this season, but he limited the Rays to three hits and two walks. He had a season-high seven strikeouts and lowered his ERA from 7.55 to 6.41 in his longest outing since July 26. The veteran right-hander outpitched Rays ace David Price (5-4), who went 62⁄3 innings and gave up five runs, including homers to Hanley Ramirez and Omar Infante. Pirates 6, Tigers 2 PITTSBURGH — Andrew McCutchen
went 3 for 4 and scored twice, and Kevin Correia finally won at home as the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Detroit Tigers. Correia (6-4) entered the game winless in three starts at PNC Park this season, but allowed two runs and seven hits over 6 2-3 innings as the surging Pirates captured their season-high fourth straight win. Joel Hanrahan helped Pittsburgh escape a two-on, no-out jam in the ninth to pick up his 13th save and hand the Tigers their fifth consecutive defeat. Detroit starter Max Scherzer (6-1) took the loss. Cubs 9, Red Sox 3 BOSTON — Reed Johnson hit a go-ahead, two-run double in an error-filled, eight-run eighth inning and the Chicago Cubs, wearing replica uniforms of their last series in Fenway Park in 1918, beat the Boston Red Sox. The Cubs’ last visit to the 99-year-old stadium before Friday night’s 15-5 loss was in the World Series 93 years ago. Chicago won the fifth game then, but Boston took the championship by winning Game 6. The Red Sox had victory in sight again on Saturday, leading 3-1. But Matt Albers (0-2) failed to retire any of the six batters he faced in the eighth and his teammates committed three errors in the inning. Mariners 4, Padres 0 SAN DIEGO — Seattle rookie Michael Pineda pitched seven dominant innings with nine strikeouts. National League Brewers 3, Rockies 2 MILWAUKEE — Shaun Marcum won his sixth straight decision with eight effective innings and Jonathan Lucroy homered, lifting the Milwaukee Brewers over the Colorado Rockies. Milwaukee has won nine of 12 overall and has the NL’s best winning percentage at home at .714 (15-6) after John Axford survived an adventure in the ninth for his 11th save. Marcum (6-1) allowed his only run on a two-out homer to Carlos Gonzalez in the first and is 6-0 in his last nine starts with a 2.10 ERA since losing his first outing at Cincinnati. Milwaukee scored twice in the bottom of the first and Lucroy homered off Clayton Mortensen (1-1) in the fifth.

Participants at the natural Building extravaganza in Asheville work to build a casita using age-old techniques.
Mudslinging goes positive Natural Building Extravaganza puts environmentally friendly construction principles into practice BY GEORGELLEN AGNER GOSS For the Salisbury Post
B
uilders mixing clay, sand, water and straw with bare feet: it seems more like something you’d see Egyptian slaves doing in “The Ten Commandments” than a scene from a construction site in the modern city of Asheville. Still, it’s a perfectly reasonable activity if you happen to be part of the Natural Building Extravaganza , a three-week series of workshops that attracted people determined to change the world by putting green principles into practice. From April 24-May 14, Natural Building Extravaganza participants — who lived in tents — learned how to: • lay stone foundations and walls; • make and lay bricks; • use permaculture ideals to store and utilize rainwater; • build an inexpensive, highly efficient cooking system from a metal drum and clay; • build with bamboo, wood, and wattle and daub; • build or face buildings with cob and plaster. Cob is a natural building material made of sand, clay, water, earth, and straw. It is similar to adobe, daub, or the material that is compressed into bricks. They enthusiastically mixed these ingredients together with their feet, some of them dancing as they did so. This mixture was on a tarp whose sides were periodically elevated to roll the cob “dough” back into a lump or log. In their daily lives, these participants help counteract the negative impact humans have on Earth through their individual choice of ecological or earth-friendly works and behaviors. The lifestyle and ecomovements vary from the modern Transition Initiative started in the U.K. by Rob Hopkins to a basic back-toearth movement that, according to Extravaganza participant Patrick, “can trace its roots back to the 1960s when the hippies left Haight Ash-
bury and moved to the farms. “This particular group is very diverse but they are likeminded when it comes to this, and willing to offer their talents and remarkable skill base to everyone,” Patrick continued. “Some of the people here have a wealth of knowledge, and can build amazing things with natural materials using minimum tools.” One of these talented jackof-all-trades is a kilt-wearing carpenter who goes by the name of Fez. When Fez isn't building, he helps with festival productions or with logistics and operations for expeditions to Antarctica and Greenland. “For a lot of people here, this is a start of a journey,” he said. “For others, it is a continuation. This community is formed around earthen building practices, but the greatest thing we’ve gained in coming here is connectivity ... with earth and with each other.” Spending three weeks toiling, sweating, and living together does build a sense of community as well as purpose. The results — achieved in just three weeks — were impressive: a beautiful threetiered stone wall, bamboo trellises, the paths and ponds, the cob-and-handmade brick casita, the outdoor Rumford fireplace, the cob cookstove and grill, the new surface on the exterior of the house and the new walkway through the greenhouse. It takes a lot of organiza-
tion to coordinate a building workshop, especially one that lasts for three weeks. Janell Kapoor, the founder of Kleiworks International, which organized the Extravaganza with Ashevillage Institute, served as the leader of the conference and daily work coordinator. She had help from her roommate Lisa, who was in charge of shopping and collecting money. Lisa located a lamb for the Friday night party marking the end of the Extravaganza. The lamb would be cooked in the newly-built oven. She also led the group in singing a Sufi song during the morning circle. Janell’s personal assistant was Rose, a cheerful woman from India who grew up in New York with a Polish mother. Rose generally stayed busy in the background, doing everything from cleaning dishes to making the wheat paste that is used to thicken and stiffen the cob mixture. Rose also helped build the beautiful arched trellises leading into the gardens. Julie, who has traveled extensively and biked from Portland, Oregon, to the Atlantic, loves the accessibility of natural building techniques to anyone. Julie arrived in Asheville early and helped get things ready for the workshops by hauling materials (gravel, sand, clay) in buckets and by

The Natural Building Extravaganza demonstrates dramatically what can be done with natural building materials like clay, sand, water and straw.
MUDSLINGING FROM 1E wheelbarrow, by clearing land and preparing sites, by making platforms for tents, and by creating paths through woods and along the hillside. In exchange, she got food and a place to stay. But most importantly, she had the opportunity to learn from teachers who arrived early, too, and then attended the conference — normally $1,800 for the full three weeks — in exchange for her work. The Extravaganzans believe that clay-rich, heavilywooded North Carolina offers most of its residents the opportunity to avoid a mortgage by utilizing materials found on or near most sites. They also feel strongly that each person should do whatever is within his or her power to improve the sustainability of the earth, and that it is urgent to do so. One way to live more harmoniously with nature is to build “naturally” with earth or clay. “Our building methods are not good for the environment,” said Kelly, a past volunteer with Habitat for Humanity. Construction and building materials account for a significant percentage of landfill waste in this country, to say nothing of the toxins involved in the production of construction materials. A has come to the Extravaganza for hands-on learning about building with cob. She
was up to her elbows at the casita, installing old bottles within the cob structure. In addition to the problems of waste and toxins, construction in the urban, industrialized world expends a lot of fuel producing and transporting construction materials. Although creating city infrastructure and large buildings requires some of this, much waste can be avoided with individual residential structures if people are allowed to build with what’s at hand, using ancient buildling techniques. Building codes which accommodate people who want to build their own houses using regional materials would make the process less daunting. Bureaucratic regulations and code-enforcers are typically not oriented toward encouraging or assisting those who desire ecologicallyfriendly, safe, alternative homes. The rules that are designed for safe large-scale city living often create unreasonable obstacles for smallerscale earth-friendly housing. Regulations can stand in the way not only in building codes but in other areas of self-sufficient, sustainable living. For example, while complaining about run-off, municipal governments often have regulations which hinder the use of rainwater and recycled water on site, or have codes which encourage unecological water practices, thereby increasing the run-off problem. The permaculture movement in Asheville, heavily “infested” with PhDs, is working to spread the knowledge of how
Fun Fest 105th Anniversary
permaculture design can help all of us, including city water and sewer systems. The Natural Building Extravaganza is held on the site of two adjoining conventionally-constructed homes in a settled, traditional neighborhood in Asheville. The homes’ interiors and part of the exteriors were re-surfaced with earthen cob and plaster. The backyards were landscaped using permaculture design, with the goal of providing food for the homeowner. The idea is to demonstrate that building methods which combine ecologicallyfriendly living with self-sufficiency and a sustainable lifestyle can be employed within a “normal” urban setting. Although the Natural Building Extravaganza is an annual event, and the site is not open year-round, the Asheville area has many workshops available throughout the year. In addition, some ecologically-minded sites are open all year or during tours. For workshops, try Ashevillage Institute, an educational group that does permaculture and natural building classes, or for permanent exhibitions, check out Earthship or Earth Haven. Earth Haven combines “natural” and standard construction methods and offers ideas about lay-out and efficient use of space.

I grew up in the 50s and 60s, when everyone did the big Spring Cleaning thing. Every spring, without fail, my mama would get the big bucket from the back porch, fill it with warm water and mix in a healthy sprinkle of Spic & Span. Do you remember the orange and blue box with the blue writing on it? She dug out old CATHY wash ELLER cloths to use as our cleaning rags. Then, she would ceremoniously hand me my “honorary cleaning rag,” and say, “Ok, let’s get to work on these baseboards.” She started on the wide, white baseboards on one side of the kitchen and I started on the other side and we'd meet in the middle. As mamas do, she instructed me in detail about how to wring out the rag so I wouldn’t drip water all over the floor. I was so glad we were using Spic & Span because — and I quote from the TV commercial — “Once over lightly, no rinsing, no wiping.” Now, washing baseboards in the spring was not on MY to-do list. I didn’t know what a baseboard was and I really could not have cared less whether it was clean or dirty. However, my mama felt otherwise. So I slopped the Spic & Spansoaked rag along the baseboards. Occasionally I peeked over my shoulder to see how mama was coming along on her side of the kitchen. Finally, after what seemed like hours, but was more likely only minutes, we com-
pleted the “washing of the baseboards.” Mama had a big smile on her face because the baseboards were sparkling clean and she could mark that off her Spring Cleaning list. I, on the other hand, had wet knees (because I didn’t wring out my rag) and a slight frown on my face. I must say, I was a little confused because I didn’t see the mothers on TV like Harriet Nelson, Donna Reid or June Cleaver in their pearls and aprons, down on their knees washing baseboards. Mama had lots of other things on her Spring Cleaning list like washing windows and curtains...and I do mean ALL the curtains. Mercifully, I did not have to participate in all the spring cleaning activities. Although, I kinda liked washing windows because we used the thick, pink glass wax that you put on with a cloth and waited to dry to a chalky film. I just loved drawing with my finger on the dried wax before wiping it off. I really don’t know if people still spring clean (like my mama used to clean) but I later learned that a fresh clean start each spring was a good thing. You feel a sense of accomplishment and order. It's just good for the soul....cleanliness is next to Godliness, you know. Every year Mother Nature spring cleans right before our very eyes. She dusts and cleans the earth with breezes and showers.

You can even see old leaves being pushed off as the new leaves unfold. Mother Nature also knows a thing or two about decorating. This year my buttercups were breathtaking, my lilacs were magnificent and my iris are spectacular. There is also another kind of spring cleaning. We may have closets in our minds or windows in our hearts that feel a bit cluttered and dull and in need a good cleaning or straightening up. Maybe it’s a relationship that needs a little Spic & Span or you need to take better care of yourself, or concern for our children or parents that need attention. There are so many things that can clutter the closets of our lives. You might declutter by giving away a smile, share flowers from your garden, spend a few minutes with someone you haven't visited lately or carry out random acts of kindness. When you give of yourself, be it on your knees cleaning baseboards or on your knees asking God to give you a renewed spirit and a clean heart, that is the best way to clean....from the inside out. There are many ways to clean, and I've found the best thing to do is “dust your cares with prayers.” Happy Spring Cleaning! Cathy Cress Eller writes children’s books and lives in Salisbury.

As part of Older Americans Month, the Rowan County Council on Aging held its fourth annual “Service to Seniors� awards luncheon on Friday, May 13. The awards program established by the Council in 2008 is designed to recognize individuals, organizations and businesses in the community that have provided exemplary service to older adults. Award nominations were received from the community during March and mid-April. Individual honorees included Pat Beck, Betty Goodwin, Nancy Hylick and Ed Lutz. Beck was recognized for her support of older adults through volunteering with the local AARP Chapter, Meals on Wheels, Seniors Without Partners, the Council on Aging and Rufty-Holmes Senior Center. Goodwin is a State Ambassador for NC Senior Games, and serves as the treasurer of the Salisbury-Rowan Senior Games organization. She is also active with the Rufty-Holmes Ambassadors Club. Hylick is president of the Yadkin House Tenants’ Association, and volunteers her time to orient new Yadkin House residents to the unit and community. Lutz was recognized for his long involvement as a volunteer with the AARP TaxAide Program, the R-H Computer Club, Meals on Wheels and Rufty-Holmes Senior Center. Organizations honored included the Ambassadors Club of Rufty-Holmes Senior Center and the Rowan County Honor Guard. The Ambassadors Club serves as a “booster club� for the senior center, working on volunteer projects and activities as needed throughout the year. The group has thirty-five members and was established in 1998. The Rowan County Honor Guard is made up of twenty-five local retired veterans who volunteer to provide military rites and ceremonies for deceased veterans and their families. The Guard served at over 400 funerals in 2010.

Bud Troxler plants corn on the family farm in Alamance County with Smokie and Keith, his brother.
ot many people in Rowan County can say they graduated from Altamahaw-Ossippee High School. Not many people can say Altamahaw-Ossippee. But Bud Troxler of Salisbury can do both. Going through old photographs recently reminded of him of growing up in Alamance County, working on the family dairy farm and graduating from Altamahaw-Ossippee. “The guy selling class rings had a hell of a time,” Bud says. The photos cover his life from ages 2 to ELIZABETH 84, Bud says, and they bring COOK back great memories. His pony, “Pet,” seems to be posing for the photographer in the earliest photo. In front of Pet, Bud sits in his sister Mildred’s lap, with brother Donald sitting beside her. The next photo shows “Buddy” — Bud’s real name is Roger V. — sitting with his mother and siblings Keith and Betty Jean on the rocks at Ossippee Dam. The Troxler family included 10 children all told, seven boys and three girls. Bud was the next-to-youngest boy. “My daddy built everything from start to finish,” Bud says. His projects included a rock seat he and son Thurman built in the yard. Bud wears knickers in this family photo. Everyone had a job to do on the Troxler farm — usually several jobs. Bud says he started helping to feed the cows when he was 2. A photo from around 1942 shows a bare-chested Bud working a field on the family farm, walking somewhat somberly behind the horse pulling the planter. Kerr Scott, who later became governor of North Carolina, was the county agent and a good friend of the family.
Mabel, Keith, Bud and Betty Jean Troxler pose on rocks at Ossippee Dam.
Troxler poses in front of a walnut tree. Bud didn’t always wear cutoffs, as evidenced by the coat and tie he wears as a young man in a couple of photos. All seven brothers graduated from college, the first two from Duke and Lenoir-Rhyne, the rest from N.C. State. At one point, four boys and one girl were in college at the same time. One of Bud’s brothers said their father would chop wood and sell it — do whatever he had to do — to pay for college. As the mother of 10, Mabel Troxler had her hands full. “She was the most industrious person you’ve ever seen,” Bud says. She died of pneumonia at the age of 49. “I thought she was old,” says the 84-year-old Bud.
This is the home where Troxler grew up, before the addition of a bathroom and screened porch around 1927.
Bud was too young to enlist when World War II started, but four of his brothers served in the Army during the war. R.T. stayed stateside, transporting planes and equipment. Following Rommel, Red went across North Africa and into Italy. Thurman was in the South Pacific in a non-combat role. Frank was shot down in his 23rd flight over Germany. He was a prisoner of war for 13 months in Stalag 17B in Austria, sustained by food packages from humanitarian groups. “He said he felt that the Red Cross saved his life,” Bud says. While at State College — now N.C. State — Bud met wife Tomie, and they were married on March 18, 1950. They would have two daughters. In 1952, the Troxlers moved to Rowan County so Bud could
sell farm equipment with his brother Red at Southern Implement. Red had been the county agent in Stanly County, according to Bud, and got to know the Allis Chalmers dealers in Concord. They started the Rowan County dealership together — the Troxlers and the Concord group. Bud and Red bought out the others in 1952. A lot has happened since then, of course — work, family, building apartments, painting pictures (though Tomie is the trained artist of the two), retiring, doting on their five grandchildren and four greatgrandchildren. And fishing. A photo of Bud holding up a catch from Fripp Island shows how much he enjoys that. But it was seeing the photos from his Altamahaw-Ossippee days that got Bud going. No
matter how many years you live, it’s the early ones that shape your character — and in Bud’s case, warm your heart. Contact Elizabeth Cook at editor@salisburypost.com or 704-797-4244.
Buddy and Tomie Troxler have been married more than 60 years.
In a more recent photo, Troxler poses with a large fish he caught off Fripp Island.
