Vigil message: Bullying can create lasting wounds BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — With tears in her eyes, Janice Junda described the pain her daughters endured. “It got so bad, we had to take one of them out of school,” Junda said. The girls were victims of bullies. The Junda family lit candles Sunday night with dozens of people who turned out to talk about their experiences with bullying and raise awareness of the pervasive problem. “This was wonderful,” Junda said. “We have so badly needed something like this in our community. This issue
needs more attention.” Megan Braun, 13, organized “Beacons Against Bullying” at Bell Tower Park, an anti-bullying event and candlelight vigil. Braun suffered verbal, mental and physical abuse by bulBRAUN lies in school. B r a u n chose anti-bullying education and awareness as her platform as the reining Junior Elite Miss North Carolina. “This is a way for her to heal her pain,” said David Braun, her father.
Unlike some victims of bullies, Braun’s parents were aware of the abuse and worked to stop it. Frustrated with a lack of response from school officials, they complained to the central office and eventually convinced administrators to remove one of the bullies from the school, according to Laura Braun, Megan’s mother. They also changed Megan’s class schedule to avoid the girls who were tormenting her. Master Deputy Alan Amerson, one of several speakers, said victims must continue asking for help until someone listens. “Go up the food chain, move up,” said Amerson,
who was bullied as a child. “Go until you get the help you need. There is someone, somewhere who will help you.” Each speaker told the story of a different child who committed suicide due to bullying. As Megan sang “Amazing Grace” during the vigil, her mother said she knew they could have lost her. “You don’t know what it’s like to see your child every morning crying, sick to their stomach, begging not to go to school,” Laura Braun said. At one point, Megan had missed so much school, her mother accompanied her to

ALL THE RIGHT MOVES Athletes perform in dance recital Tuesday BY SUSAN SHINN For The Salisbury Post
SALISBURY — A year ago, Tyler Allen watched his little sister perform in her dance recital with Donna’s Dancers. After the show, he told Donna Cesario, “I’m going to be in this next year.” Yeah, right, she thought. After all, Tyler, a sophomore at Salisbury High School, is a member of its state championship football team. He’s 5 foot, 9 inches tall and weighs 230 pounds. But on Tuesday, he’ll take the stage with other dancers in the studio’s 15th annual recital at Keppel Auditorium. One of those dancers is teammate Justin Lewis, a senior at Salisbury High, who’s also a member of the track team. Justin is 5 foot, 5 inches tall and weighs 146 pounds. His size and shape make him a perfect track team member, and his specialty is the hurdles — which he says dance lessons have greatly improved. As a matter of fact, both young men say dance has helped their athleticism. A native of Pittsburgh, Tyler’s favorite professional athlete is Rashard Mendenhall, a running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Since Mendenhall takes ballet, Tyler figured it couldn’t hurt. And after all, he thought, after watching his sister on stage, how hard could it be? “It’s definitely been the most difficult thing I’ve ever done,” Tyler says. “It is really physically demanding.” Along with football, Tyler has participated in martial arts, soccer, basketball and track. “I like it a lot,” he says of dance. “But it’s difficult. It’s harder than any sport I’ve played. Miss Donna is a wonderful teacher. She is so patient and understanding.” In football, he says, there are basically three rules for an offensive guard, his position: stay low, keep your feet moving and be violent with your hands. In dance, he says, there are many more rules. “You have to point your toes, walk a certain way, leap a certain way.” Joining him in this endeavor has been his friend Justin. “Tyler asked me to come and support him so I did,” Justin says, whose dazzling smile lights up any room. He says of dance, “It made me a bit more agile and it

SALISBURY — Rowan County’s proposed budget spends $4.1 million less than last year and increases the property tax rate by 2.75 cents, but both those numbers could change next month after local and state decisions. Last week, County Manager Gary Page gave county commissioners copies of the $124.7 million budget, which cuts county departments by more than $2 million and schools by more than $1 million. “This year’s proposed budget has been an attempt to match our revenues with expenses and to not rely upon the county’s fund balance as an ongoing ‘safety net,’ ” Page wrote in his executive summary. “Though difficult, the county’s financial well-being is on sound ground and we are going to be able to operate within our means.” He wrote that most of the proposed cost savings have come through eliminated county positions, reduced hours and services for parks and libraries and no salary or benefit increases for county employees. The proposed budget A closer look also increases the property at changes in tax rate from 59.5 cents to the county 62.25 cents per $100 of as- budget, 9A sessed value, but residents won’t necessarily see a big difference in their tax bills. The county’s tax base dropped by about 3 percent after the 2011 revaluation, and it would have to raise the property tax rate by 2.5 cents to maintain tax revenue. In an interview Thursday, Page said this isn’t the same as raising taxes because property owners would be taxed no more than they are now. Of course, different individuals might see their bills increase, decrease or stay the same. “We’re not going to get more money from this,” Page said. “I still need $67 million in property taxes to make everything work.” ••• The proposed rate hike also includes a quarter-cent property tax increase to pay for debt from a $12 million bond approved by voters last year. It would provide handicapped accessible improvements and new classroom space for students and local firefighters at RowanCabarrus Community College. Instead of levying a 1.25-cent increase all at once, commissioners voted in March to raise the tax by a quarter cent in the coming fiscal year, and an additional half cent in each of the next two fiscal years. In light of this increase, commissioners have said they want to avoid raising the tax rate to revenue neutral. But that would come at a price in this third year of budget cuts. “If they don’t want to increase it by 2.5 cents,” Page said, “I’ll have to cut another $2.5 million.” Fortunately, the pressure to either raise taxes or cut expenses could finally start to let up

How to differentiate between growing pains and injury Q. How would I know the difference between growing pains and an injury? A. It is very important to differentiate between the two and to confirm have your doctor diagnose the problem. Here are some things to watch for. Growing pains usually affect the limbs especially ESTER the legs of chilMARSH dren who are still undergoing growth and development. Symptoms that could be part of growing pains: • Muscle aches and pains in both legs, mostly in the calf, behind the knee and in front of the
• Heat treatment such as hot baths and hot water bottles. • Pain medications to alleviate the pain. When it is not growing pains: • When your child is limping. • Severe pain or pain that only affects one leg or arm • Pain continues through the day • It is affecting the way they run or walk • There is swelling. Redness and/or tenderness of the leg or arm • Child has a fever Due to the fact that children are playing more competitive sports, sport related injuries have risen tremendously. Since children still have growth plates (epiphyseal plate) the stress of the tendons pulling on the growth plates can create prob-
lems. One common injury is apophysitis, which is an inflammation. Common affected areas can be the knee, where the patellar ligament, due to overuse can inflame that growth plate. Or elbow, known as medial apophysitis, which is also called Little Leaguer’s elbow. Or even feet and hips. Due to growth, the muscles might get tight so it is important to stretch daily and hold each stretch for 15 to 30 seconds at a time, with 1 to 2 sets per exercise. Some simple strength exercises using their body weight might be beneficial, and cross training is a must. Remember, they are still growing and have their whole life (sports included) ahead of them.

quent to those listed on their birth certificates, their offspring sometimes return the favor by assigning AKAs to them. The nicknames given to our parents by my brother, Joe, and me were, I daresay, unique and probably not heard around Rowan County back then, or since. Some of the more common nicknames of which I can think of lately are the ones given by grandchildren to their grandparents, such as Paw-Paw (also the name of a particular kind of “patch”), Mee-Maw and the name Nana. The nicknames that Joe and I assigned to our parents were “Bunk” and “Hammie.” My mother’s maiden name was “Hamlet,” so the origin of “Hammie” is easily figurable. I think that my grandmother Hamlet also went by that nickname, because I remember seeing an old letter to my mother from her in my baby book with the letter being signed “Love, Hammie!” My mother would send letters to me at college, and later to me and my family, signing them “Lots of Love, Hammie!” Sometimes, when my late wife, the children and I would visit my mother in Salisbury, we would eat at the now-closed Ham’s Restaurant on East Innes Street.

made me think about my railroading father, “Bunk,” and the restaurant’s name reminded me of my mother, “Hammie.” My father’s first name was “Bernard,” which he always pronounced in the British fashion, as heard in the pronunciation of the British general from World War II, Bernard Law Montgomery. I heard my father referred to by his railroad friends as mostly “Willie,” and sometimes “Bernie,” but I have no recollection at all of how Joe and I came to refer to him as “Bunk.” Our father loved jazz, classical and old-time mountain music. One Christmas, my brother got him a record of the old jazz artist Bunk Johnson and his band, titled “Bunk Johnson at Preservation Hall.” I also remember an old cold medicine commercial of the time which started out with the words: “Has a cold got you down, Bunkie?” Back in September, following the homecoming service of Saint Paul’s Lutheran Church, to which my friend, Rita Lea, and I had traveled from Virginia, she asked me if I would like to visit my “Mom and Dad.” She used the more usual and proper terminology. I told her that I would, so we walked down that gentle slope of Saint Paul’s cemetery, and there paid a visit to “Bunk and Hammie.”

Natural gas deposits located in central NC FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — Geologists have wrapped up research on natural gas deposits in central North Carolina and are awaiting an assessment from the U.S. Geological Survey in July. North Carolina Geological Survey chief Kenneth Taylor says his assessment shows that Lee, Chatham and Moore counties could produce enough natural gas to power the whole state for 40 years. The area being looked at is the Sanford sub-basin. It is a shale formation near the Deep River basin. Rep. Michael Stone of Sanford says tapping those resources could mean big money for landowners and workers for energy companies that would collect and sell the natural gas. But state law would have to change to allow horizontal drilling and a process known as fracturing that uses chemicals and water to force natural gas from shale.

Multitudes turn out for Race for Cowden 5K BY DAVID FREEZE For the Salisbury Post
Nelson Cowden, assistant principal at West Rowan High School, was surprised that so many runners and walkers turned out in downtown Cleveland Saturday morning for the Race for Cowden 5K. Many were students and staff at West Rowan, but most were there just simply to support the Cowden family, as son, Tom, continues his recovery from brain cancer. Tom was also joined by his mom, Christi, and sister, Ivy. Tom was the official starter for the race, as more than 120 participants joined the “Fight for Tom.” Tom is now 14 years old, and is a patient at Levine Children’s Hospital in Charlotte while he receives physical therapy so he may walk again. Walkers and runners ran the course just prior to the official start of the Cleveland

Weeks after tornado, life returning to normal in Farrington Meadows BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — Saturday was warm and sunny, an average day for this time of year in Farrington Meadows. One man was out mowing his lawn. Another family gathered in the backyard with friends or relatives. But though life goes on, there are still plenty of signs of the tornado that roared down Newport Drive on April 16. Five weeks later, roofs on several houses are still covered with tarps. There are piles of mulch and twist-
ed tree limbs along the roadsides. Two homes on the road are reportedly still too damaged for owners to return. Up and down the road, rows of signs show where contractors and roofers are still hard at work making repairs. Still, by all accounts life in the neighborhood north of Salisbury is returning to normal. Reached by phone on Friday, Sue Grubb said the recovery process was ongoing. She and other residents of the neighborhood said insurance companies is working with them to
process claims. No one the Post interviewed reported any problems, and some spoke highly of their insurance agents. Even so, funds are moving slower than some would like. “We’ve gotten one check, but everything is not covered,” Grubb said. “There’s still a lot to be done, but we’re recovering okay from it.” David Potts, whose home was hit by six trees as the tornado barreled through, said contractors have been hard at work. “Right now, we’re in the process of tearing most of the stuff off the
roof,” Potts said. A crane is coming Tuesday to put new roof trusses in place. But he and wife Nadine show a sense of humor about the event. In their yard, the twisted stump of a tree that was torn up by the funnel is marked with a hand-painted sign: “Twisted tree — art by tornado.” “So far, we haven’t run into any real problems,” Potts said.

The Salisbury Symphony dances their way into the audience’s hearts B Y S ARAH H ALL for the Salisbury Post
There was a big turnout for the Salisbury Symphony’s latest concert Saturday night in Catawba College’s Keppel Auditorium. The popularity of the performance is not surprising, given that it offered something for everyone. For those listeners who want to hear familiar themes that they know and love, they got what they craved. The “Dance”-themed concert included an abundance of popular musical moments from Broadway and movies. For the more serious musical connoisseur, there was plenty to seek one’s teethinto, an abundance of compositional substance from three of America’s finest composers: Richard Rodgers, Leonard Bernstein and George Gershwin. Notice I said “finest composers” and not “finest Broadway composers.” The work of these three gentlemen exhibits the best in compositional craftsmanship, and proves that popular music can be taken seriously as an art form. If the music itself were not enough reason to get people into the concert hall, there was also the promise of

I just want to make sure the get some good food,” he said. World of Faith workers Sue Cherry and Sharon Matthews said, “Bost is there when you need him. He will give the coat off his back in a rainstorm. He loves to help anybody.” Families were out to enjoy the nice spring weather as well as the vendors and entertainment. Erin Shelton brought her children Lucy and Trip, as well as her mother Pam Morrow. They stopped in after participating in the Cowden 5K race earlier in the morning. Lucy, 3, was looking for a face painter and mom, Erin, said they wanted to ride the swings, but she admitted they might eat some unhealthy
5K FROM 3a Overall winner was Josh Readling of Salisbury, with a time of 18 minutes and 29 seconds. He was followed by Kyle Gillis with a time of 18:32, and Jacob Fink finished third in 19:15. For the women, Devan Purvis led the way in 24:22. Second was Ashley Kem in 25:45, followed closely by Mary McCachren in 25:14. Nelson thanked the crowd, and expressed his appreciation to the West Rowan community. “I am just overwhelmed, thank you so much,” he said. All proceeds from the event go to help offset the mounting medical costs incurred for the treatment that Tom is receiving. Tom has been able to move
SHELTER FROM 3a In the summer of 2010, Summit Developers in Salisbury was chosen to build the shelter. Jon Palmer is the architect for the project. A year ago the community gathered for a groundbreaking ceremony. “We have had a lot of very generous donations,” Padavick said. There have been numerous donations, from its inception — the land, money and even time. This has been a project more than five years in the making. In 2008, David Clark donated the 10-acre site, which
dancers from Piedmont Dance Theatre. This dance company has developed quite a following in Salisbury through their yearly Nutcracker appearances with the Symphony, and people have come to expect a high degree of talent and preparation from these young dancers. And they did not disappoint, as the concert culminated with the dancers’ presentation to Bernstein’s “Symphonic Dances from ‘West Side Story.” This concert was also a chance for the Symphony’s principals to demonstrate their versatility, showing off their jazz chops along with their classic technique. In spite of the demanding virtuosic passages, especially in the Bernstein selections, the musicians were relaxed and confident throughout. Music Director David Hagy provided commentary prior to each selection to prepare the audience for what they would be hearing. This made up for the absence of notes in the printed program. Here again, Hagy’s explanations could appeal to different types of audience members. His summary of plots explained the actions being defood before the afternoon was over. Shelton is a counselor at West Rowan High School. “This is great. There is so much to do,” Shelton said. Live entertainment was planned throughout the afternoon, and fireworks were on tap to close out the evening. Leslee Efird brought her son, Clint, to the festival. Clint, 4, was excited to ride the swings, after participating in his first 5K that morning. Efird is the girls’ cross country and track coach at Carson High School. A rock-climbing wall, a long slide, and a dunking booth entertained many attendees. Another highlight was the FlexFlyer, a supported trampoline style jump that allowed participants to jump to heights of 40 feet while harnessed. “There aren’t a lot of big activities in West Rowan, but we all look forward to the Spring Festival,” Fleming-Adkins said. “Just look at the turnout. I get excited about this, and we just want everyone to know that Cleveland has a lot to offer.”

Race director and organizer for the second annual event was Brittany Chester, a science teacher at West Rowan High School. “We had hoped that there wouldn’t be a need to do this again for a second time, but the community and sponsors across the county stepped forward to make it happen. The West Rowan area has come together once again to support a cause which we believe in. So many sponsors stepped forward to help us,” Chester said. “I want to thank the Town of Cleveland for all their support.

picted musically in the pieces, helping the people who perhaps were unfamiliar with that particular show. Hagy’s descriptions made us conjure up in our minds the creaky merry-go-round in Rodger’s “Carousel Waltz,” sailors on leave wandering through New York in Bernstein’s “On the Town,” the musical picture painted (aided by pitched car horns and jazz) in Gershwin’s “American in Paris.” And even though everyone may know the famous songs from Rodger’s “Oklahoma,” they may be less familiar with the way in which they are arranged in the show’s ground-breaking “Dream Ballet.” Hagy also pointed out motives, musical devices, and even made mention of Bernstein’s employment of the 12tone technique, not just to enrich the listeners’ experience, but to also give credence to the musical value of the compositions. Dancer and instructor Daniel Wiley performed in the role of Tony for the “West Side Story” sequence. He serves as artistic co-director of Piedmont Dance Theatre along with his wife, Rebecca Massey Wiley. The
only other male dancer participating in Saturday’s performance was Luke Griffin in the Officer Krupke role. This meant the Jets and the Sharks were all portrayed by girls. But they pulled it off well, projecting convincingly masculine swagger and jazzy athleticism in contrast to the ballet movements of the dancers in female roles. Alana Isiguen provided a graceful Maria to Wiley’s Tony. The audience came to be entertained, and they demonstrated their approval. The applause at the end of “American in Paris” before the intermission, was prolonged and sincere. And the standing ovation following the Bernstein combination of fine musicianship and excellent dancing was joyfully vociferous. The concert provided an outstanding conclusion to Salisbury Symphony’s 44th season. But you don’t have to wait long to hear them again. On the evening of June 4, they will be presenting the annual “Pops at the Post,” with a free concert played from the loading dock of Salisbury Post at the corner of West Innes and South Church streets. See you there.

Winston-Salem officer has passion for music WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — Two passions and memories of his own close call with death in a gunbattle merge when Winston-Salem police officer David Honeycutt plays taps. As part of National Police Week observances in Washington, D.C., Honeycutt donned his white gloves and police dress blues to pay tribute to officers who gave their lives in the line of duty. Honeycutt, 34, a sworn officer since 2005, works in the department’s crime suppression unit, which puts him in some of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the city. But before that, he was an aspiring musician, good enough at the French horn to earn a master’s degree in 2004 from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. Honeycutt considers it a solemn duty to play taps for fallen officers — two WinstonSalem officers have died in the line of duty since he’s been on the job, Sgt. Howard Plouff in 2007 and Sgt. Mickey Hutchens in 2009. And Honeycutt himself was involved in a domestic violence call in which he barely missed being shot at close range and a fellow officer and close friend, Keith Starling, was wounded. That’s why he finds taps — on sheet music a fairly simple song comprised of only 24 notes — so hard to play, despite his years of musical training. He said he has to distance himself from the meaning of the song to be able to focus on the technical aspects of playing. “With all the emotion that goes behind it, it can be really difficult,” he said. “You can’t play taps and be upset at the same time.” Honeycutt said his love of music began when he growing up in central Georgia. But by the time he finished at the School of the Arts, he realized there weren’t many options for him to make a living at it. He figured he could go to New York to play on Broadway or to Los Angeles to do film scores, but those jobs seemed so competitive, so cutthroat that they didn’t have much appeal.
“I didn’t think that was who I wanted to be, so I stayed local,” he said. He always respected police officers and thought the job had a certain “wow factor” to it, he said. So he joined the WinstonSalem department, but he didn’t leave music totally behind. During rookie school, he once played at Ziggy’s as part of a performance of the rock opera Tommy, which has a part for French horn. Honeycutt also plays in the Piedmont Wind Symphony. Before joining the crime suppression unit, Honeycutt worked as a patrol officer, usually on the west side of the city. While on duty in June 2007, Honeycutt responded to a domestic violence call at an apartment off Old Vineyard Road. He arrived to find a man and a woman in the apartment. The woman yelled that the man, Reginald Ross, had a gun. Honeycutt pulled his gun, and Ross started shooting. Honeycutt heard three bullets whiz by, and one struck Starling, his fellow officer, in the thigh. Honeycutt turned his back briefly to Ross while he checked on Starling. He heard another shot but was not hit. Honeycutt didn’t find out until Ross’ trial last year that Ross was trying to shoot Honeycutt in that brief moment that he turned away. The woman in the apartment knocked Ross’ arm down, sending the bullet into the floor. Ross retreated into the apartment still holding the woman, moving behind a table with a chair turned upside down. Honeycutt fired at Ross, and Ross fell back. Honeycutt thought he had hit Ross, but the bullet had struck a metal bar on the chair and broke apart, missing Ross. Ross surrendered after a standoff that lasted more than 20 minutes. He was convicted in August of attempted first-degree murder, among other charges. He is not expected to be released from prison until December 2047, according to state Department of Correction records.

Perdue, GOP trying to get NC public on their side RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK (AP) — Surrounded by a who’s who of North Carolina business and education leaders, Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue took the high road in opposition to proposed education cuts from the new Republican Legislature she says are so deep they’ll choke the state’s economic engine. “There is a discussion going on in Raleigh, and whether you’re a Republican, a Democrat, a Tea Party or somebody far to the left, it’s not about partisan politics,” Perdue said during a meeting in Research Triangle Park to rally public opinion to preserve education spending. “This is about what’s the mainstay of our economy.” Perdue could be gaining the upper hand in the tussle over North Carolina’s budget just by hitting the road. Taking a page from the playbook of her mentor former Gov. Jim Hunt, Perdue and her Cabinet have fanned out over the state at about 20 stops over the past two weeks to highlight the link between public education and an economy that depends on a well-qualified work force.
Combined with recent rallies by teachers and administrators opposing cuts and demanding that temporary taxes be extended to prevent them, Perdue is shifting the debate away from the halls of government in Raleigh and toward education and business leaders outside the Capitol. They’re worried the GOP will make it harder for companies to find young people prepared for high-tech, math and science jobs. The Republicans, meanwhile, are working to grab back the momentum they had a few weeks ago when Democratic support for the House budget gave the appearance of bipartisanship that could derail any potential Perdue veto. Senators then took heat when they said they aimed to spend $100 million less on the public schools than the House did. Democrats argue the House plan alone would eliminate more than 18,000 public education positions. Senate Republicans have since changed their mind. They plan to roll out a budget plan this week they say will actually spend more on education than the House while reforming the public schools, hir-
Fayetteville families wait on storm damage repairs
R130478
FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — Hundreds of homeowners in Fayetteville are getting frustrated as they wait for repairs more than a month after tornadoes ripped through the state. Dyana Sabino told The Fayetteville Observer that she and her mother are living in just one portion of their home because the rooms are leaking and the house needs to be rewired. She waited nearly two weeks for her insurance company’s adjuster. Now, she is waiting on a contractor. “A normal day like this is OK,” she said Friday. “But when it’s raining, it’s a lot harder. Water will get in the house, and I have to dump it. I’m worried about electrical wires. I don’t sleep at night when it rains.” The city of Fayetteville said 287 homes were destroyed by the April 16 storms, more than 300 had major damage and another 350 had minor damage. Tom Culver, senior estiwith Showcase mator Restoration, said the city just doesn’t have the resources to handle all the repairs at once. “Contractors and insurance companies were not prepared to handle this volume of work,” Culver said. “Not on such a grand scale.” Showcase is rebuilding 191 structures, mostly in Fayetteville. Getting payments is difficult, in part because of a state law that requires contractors and insurance companies to work with mortgage companies on
homes with $10,000 worth of damage or more. “We have to send the checks to the mortgage company and fill out all their paperwork,” he said. “Sometimes, we can be three months into a job before we get paid.” Without payment, Culver said, contractors can’t pay their workers or buy materials. “To put it into perspective, we spent $100,000 on tarps in the first week,” he said. “You can’t do $10 million worth of jobs with no money coming in.” Some residents worry that the delay in getting repairs made could mean more damage. Gus McGrue II is waiting on his insurance company, which wants to use its own contractors to fix his damage. Meanwhile, he and his wife have been living elsewhere. “We’ve been out of our home for over a month now, because of trees that are in danger of falling on the house,” he said. “The insurance company wants to pay $500 for all six trees to be removed, which leaves us stuck with the rest out of pocket.” Debbie Powell rents her home. She said some repairs to her home have been completed, but a side door hasn’t been replaced and the attic needs to be fixed. Tarps cover her roof and duct tape still covers a window in her son’s room. “It’s taking so long,” Powell said.
ing more than 1,000 new teachers and letting the temporary taxes expire. They will repeat the message back home in their districts in a media blitz that begins in earnest today through meetings with newspaper editorial boards and letters to the editor. The Senate budget “makes government live within its means and puts more money in the pockets of taxpayers, while providing essential public services,” senators say in a form letter, obtained by the Associated Press, that they are sending to newspapers. The budget, the letter says, “reforms North Carolina’s broken education system.” Senate leader Phil Berger acknowledges the governor has a public relations advantage because of her position but denies the Senate’s spending changes have anything to do with Perdue’s tour. For example, Senate Republicans aren’t going back on their promise to let the temporary taxes expire. “There’s no question she’s got a bigger megaphone than us,” Berger, R-Rockingham, said in an interview, but the Senate plan, “ought to be more important than just public
relations ... we’re going to put together a budget that has a message for education, has a plan for education.” Perdue assembled an “Education Works” tour that is reminiscent of Hunt, the four-term governor who left office in 2001. He would bypass the Legislature to make his case directly to public and business leaders. Perdue and Cabinet members have traveled from Asheville to Manteo, visiting schools, community colleges, University of North Carolina system campuses and places where job expansions were being announced. They pushed the idea that businesses will stay away from North Carolina unless they’re assured of a pipeline of high school and college graduates ready to work. “We hope to get the message out that connects a quality educational system to jobs coming to North Carolina,” Administration Secretary Moses Carey said after a visit to a Durham high school with a 98 percent graduation rate. The cuts, Carey said, have “the potential for turning back the clock on the in-
vestments that we’ve made in our system.” Perdue made a strong statement about the support behind her effort during last week’s round-table at Research Triangle Park. The meeting list included the top executives in North Carolina for AT&T and IBM, former UNC system President Bill Friday and former GlaxoWellcome Chairman Bob Ingram. Still, some observers wanted more of an opportunity to influence the high-level discussion. Matthew Tomlinson, 18, attended the event and asked the panel how to fight the loss of Advanced Placement classes at his school in the wake of education cuts. He sounded dissatisfied after Perdue told him that coming to the event was a good first step. “I feel like that we’re in the center of this debate, yet this whole argument is taking place among the government and business leaders and school board heads,” said Tomlinson, a senior at Holly Springs High School in Wake County. “Students are just completely left to face the consequences.”
StateBriefs Police say man killed wife, attempted suicide WHITAKERS (AP) — Police say a 63-year-old Statonsburg man forced his way into a home where his estranged wife was staying, shot and killed her, wounded two other people and tried to commit suicide. Whitakers Police Chief C.D. Wagstaff told WRALTV in Raleigh that James Radford was in critical condition at Pitt Memorial Hospital on Sunday. His estranged wife, 51year-old Teresa Radford was shot and killed Saturday. The friend she was staying with, Martha Worrell, was shot and wounded. Shelton Whitaker was sitting in a car outside the home when he was shot at. The bullet missed, but Whitaker was injured by shattered glass. Wagstaff said the Radfords were separated and Teresa Radford had taken a restraining order out against her husband. She had been staying with Worrell for about six weeks.

Coast Guard rescues man in dive accident off NC FORT MACON (AP) — The Coast Guard has rescued a 56-year-old man involved in a diving accident off the coast of North Carolina. The Coast Guard said in a news release the man was aboard the dive boat Midnight Express about 30 miles south of Beaufort Inlet on Saturday. The man’s name and condition were not immediately available. Crew members reported that the man had completed a 110-foot dive and complained of shortness of breath and other symptoms when he surfaced. A rescue boat was dispatched from Fort Macon and a rescue helicopter crew from Air Station Elizabeth City. The man was airlifted to a hospital in Norfolk, Va.
Biotechnology firm to expand NC research facility RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK (AP) — A North Carolina biotechnology firm says it will spend $70 million to expand its research facility that finds ways to help farmers improve their yields. Herald-Sun of The Durham reported that Syngenta Biotechnology Inc. will begin construction next month on a 147,000-squarefoot facility in the Research Triangle Park. The company employs 400 people in the park near Raleigh. The company is a subsidiary of Swiss-based agrochemicals giant Syngenta. Syngenta Biotechnology president Michiel van Lookeren Campagne says the facility will help researchers improve productivity on several key crops including corn, soybeans, sugar cane, rice and vegetables. The new site will include greenhouses and growth chambers that will allow researchers to control a variety of factors that affect growing conditions.

Correct your course and dump some weight
Wife contacts husband’s long-lost daughter Dear Amy: My husband has two children from a previous marriage and an older child from a very brief marriage before that — when he was in his early 20s. Although he is a great dad to his two youngest, when we met he shamefully admitted that he hadn’t seen or spoken to his oldest child in severASK al years and AMY desperately wanted to reconnect with her. I strongly encouraged him to do so. Well, months turned into years and, despite having the opportunity, he never contacted her. Then, a couple of years ago, the girl’s mother wrote to him informing him of their new address. He genuinely seemed excited about the prospect of talking to his daughter again but then in a freakish twist we lost the envelope containing the address. Out of the blue, I managed to find the girl on a social networking site. I explained who I was and out of respect for her, I told her I would not inform her father of my discovery unless she gave me her blessing first. She was very gracious and said she appreciated my “thoughtfulness.” She also politely informed me that she had no desire to speak to or get to know her father in any way. She felt that he had broken too many promises and missed too many opportunities in the past. Although it saddens me greatly, I wish to respect her decision. She has declined to provide any further contact info, and I expect that she’ll be “un-
friending” me soon. My husband has no idea that I found her. Should I stop encouraging him so much? Should I tell him everything? Should I not say anything and hope that he finds her on his own? He feels bad enough, so is he better off just not knowing? — Wondering Wife Dear Wondering: Do not let his paralysis create an atmosphere of secrecy between you. Tell your husband what you’ve done. I think his daughter’s reaction to this contact is completely natural and he should understand that she is as stuck as he is. The ex-wife chose to notify your husband of her new address for a reason. The same social network that led you to this daughter would also lead your husband to his ex-wife, who should be able to broker some sort of contact between the two. The huge emotional weight he carries will ease the minute he makes any effort. Your job should be to encourage and support his efforts — not to do this for him. Dear Amy: I’m responding to the letter from “Curious,” the longtime health care worker whose colleague was annoyed by the level of talk and laughter coming from the staff area. While the area may be closed off from the examination and other patient areas, sound does travel and perhaps the colleague realizes that. I was recently at my primary care physician’s office for an appointment and, while waiting, was able to overhear the staff mocking and gossiping about another patient who canceled an appointment without what they felt was the proper amount of notice.
When they were finished mocking and gossiping about that patient, they began to gossip about other patients. This behavior was very unprofessional and immature, to say the least! I made up my mind at that moment to find another doctor with a more professional staff. — No Gossip Please!
fun-activities.html for some fun, frugal family ideas for summer. • Healthy choices: Gather summer recipes and start a summer meal plan based on seasonal produce. Make use of an outdoor grill, microwave or slow cooker instead of using your stove or oven. Increase your water intake and decrease any high calorie or caffeinated drinks. Enjoy the outdoors by taking daily walks. It’s not too late to start a garden and preserve your harvest. Or visit your local farmer’s market. Make homemade jam to give as gifts. You can make it in a bread maker. For marmalade, strawberry jam and frozen-berry jam bread-machine recipes, visit frugalvillage.com/ forums/kitchen-basics/16192jam-recipes-breadmachine.html. • Stay cool: Replace air conditioning filters. Check weather stripping, too. Open windows at night or during early morning to take advantage of cooler outdoor air, and turn on ceiling and oscillating fans to keep the air moving. Donna,

Dear No: This behavior reflects very poorly on all of the professionals in the office. In addition to being unprofessional, their gossip may be violating the HIPAA privacy statutes. I completely agree with your decision to look for another physician, but I hope you will do the right thing and also notify your doctor of the reason you are leaving the practice. Dear Amy: “Non-Gossiping Neighbor” liked the neighbors, but not their gossip. Like most people, I have a strongly negative reaction to the word “gossip.” For the neighbors who need to be confronted about talking about other neighbors who are not present, what about this: “You know, I try to not say anything about someone I wouldn’t say in front of that person.” Is this an improvement? — A Reader Dear reader: It most definitely is.

from Louisiana, shares: “If it’s hard to get to sleep at night because of the heat, spray your top sheet with water to dampen it, and blow a fan on it. But watch that you don’t add too much extra humidity to the house — that will make it feel muggier and hotter.” Many of the same methods for keeping your home warm during the winter work for keeping it cooler during hot months as well. Keep family members from going inside and outside repetitively. You want to have proper insulation and roof ventilation, too. Window coverings, such as space blankets, bubble wrap, solar screens, awnings or cut-to-fit Mylar auto shades can help keep heat out. Another reader, Carol, from New Jersey, adds: “Just added some thermal curtains in our bedroom and can tell the difference already. Much cooler when it’s hot and when we had a very cool morning, we couldn’t tell.” You can make your own, too. For directions, visit appropedia.org/ CCAT_thermal_curtains_howto.

Summertime is great time to set savings goals Summer is a great time to start frugal goals. Arm yourself with a game plan for budget busters such as summer school break, back-toschool costs, increased utilities and the holidays that will be here before you know it. Here are a few suggestions for summer savings: • Seek out free fun. Start making calls and visiting community websites to see what free SARA activities are NOEL available. If you have young kids, start planning things to do at home or close to home over the summer. For example, visit kidsbowlfree.com to see if there’s free summer bowling for kids in your area. Another reader, Steph, from Maine, shares a fun way to change things up at home: “If possible, bring the TV outside to watch a movie or ball game on a hot night.” Visit frugalvillage.com/forums/family/53831-low-cost-

to fly high when you are weighed down with financial obligations or things. Take stock, and then unload stuff. Those who live under their circumstances see every bump in the road as a catastrophe. Those who live above their circumstances are not in denial; they simply choose to see tough times as hairpin curves that will straighten out soon. As for that duck’s unfortunate encounter with the plane, once we dumped the fuel, deplaned and re-planed, we were back in the air flying full speed ahead, achieving an on-time arrival despite the circumstances. That was one determined pilot! So, have you been whacked lately? Not by a duck, necessarily, but by another of life’s surprises? Perhaps a job loss or higher prices have your alreadystretched financial situation screaming for mercy. Maybe it’s an accumulation of bad financial decisions that you’re under. Whatever your circumstances, you have a choice: You can default to live under them, or you can choose to rise above them, where the skies are calm and clear.
R129468
To climb up on top of your circumstances — instead of allowing them to crush you — you’ve got to get out from under the weight. Here are some practical ways to do that: • Anticipate. Plan ahead. Don’t get financially blindsided by Christmas or new tires for the car. Figure out when things are due. Stop being surprised by the inevitable. • Become self-reliant. We’re dependent on others for almost everything. Learn how to grow a garden, cook from scratch, and perform your own repairs and maintenance. Learn to do for yourself as much as possible. • Shed the debt. Debt can weigh you down. Start with your smallest debt and get it to $0 as quickly as possible. Then add its payment to the regular payment of the next debt in line. Repeat until all are paid. • Educate yourself. What’s your financial reality? What do you earn? What are your expenses? How much, if any, is left once the bills are paid? Decide whether you like the picture you see. If not, create a plan to change it. • Pare down. It’s difficult

Shortly after takeoff, the pilot circled over the Great Salt Lake, slightly tipping the wings so we could take a look. Just as he was bringing the plane level, CRACK! A loud kind of popping noise sent a chill up my spine. “I believe we’ve hit something, so we will be MARY returning to HUNT the gate,” an audibly shaken pilot reported. But it wasn’t quite that easy. First, we needed to get rid of a lot of weight so we could make a much-needed course correction. So back to the lake we flew, where we dumped nearly an entire flight’s worth of fuel. As we deplaned, the problem became evident. We’d hit a duck or something similar, whose remains were splattered all over the windshield — a collision so mighty it had cracked. Poor pilot. Some people allow problems and pressures to control their lives. They live under the weight of their circumstances.

VIGIL FroM 1a
BUDGET FroM 1a — as long as the state doesn’t apply its own. Sales tax revenues are expected to go up by 1 to 3 percent in the next year, which Page wrote is a “much improved estimate” after a 10 percent loss over the past three years. “In 2011, sales tax collections ‘leveled off’ and began to increase slightly,” he wrote. “Property tax collections have improved with a reduction in the unemployment rate. The general picture indicates that the economy and recession have possibly ‘bottomed out’ and we may be seeing slow improvement.” Page said another good sign is the county is spending less of its fund balance, which he expects will stay at $17 million through next year because departments won’t spend all of their appropriations. The county would use $6.8 million in reserve funds to balance the budget, compared to $10.7 million last year. But the county’s proposed budget might be quite different than the one its board approves next month. Not only do commissioners get a chance to tweak it, but the state’s own budget could force it to change. In the coming year, Rowan County is budgeting $1.7 million in education lottery funds for school bond debt payments, assuming last year’s reduction from $2.6 million is permanent. North Carolina is expected to withhold even more of that money and to shift millions of dollars’ worth of mandated expenses to the county. Legislators are still changing the state budget, though, so the right now the county can work

only with what it knows. ••• In the county’s proposed budget, Page recommends cutting 17 full-time positions and one part-time position. Most of these were eliminated through resignations, retirements and reorganization, but three county employees will lose their jobs. They are an internal auditor in the finance department, an ordinance enforcement officer in the planning department and a part-time library assistant. Page also recommends adding two new positions in the social services department — an income maintenance caseworker and a safety officer — that would be funded 52 percent with state grant money. “These new positions are recommended as the result of increased demand for services from qualified clients and safety concerns at our East Innes Street facility,” Page wrote. Funding to Rowan-Salisbury Schools is recommended to drop by $1 million to $31.8 million, and the county is required to change its funding to Kannapolis City Schools to the same per pupil amount. Page wrote that the system should be able to withstand the county’s cut, and he expects it will rely on its $7 million in reserve funds to balance its budget. “This fund balance has been accumulating for a number of years in order to help the district meet its demand for service during tough economic conditions,” Page wrote. “Over the next few years, we will need to help the school system maintain some level of fund balance in order to withstand future budget cuts from the state of North Carolina.” Contact reporter Karissa Minn at 704-797-4222.
Rowan County, said a 6-yearold cancer survivor she recently met has endured bullying because she has a lazy eye due to treatments for her disease. “I’m proud of you, Megan,” Safrit said. • The Rev. Curtis Goforth prayed for the victims of bullying and forgiveness for people who have turned a blind eye. • Sheriff Kevin Auten acknowledged that he had bullied someone in middle school. Auten, who was a popular football player, joined with others in making fun of a quiet, introverted classmate. “We picked on her relentlessly,” he said. After Braun asked him to speak at Sunday’s event, Auten said he began to think about how his cruel
words must have affected the girl, now a beautiful woman with a successful career in Rowan County. “I wonder what she thinks of me being sheriff, with the way I treated her,” he said. Auten said he plans to speak to his former classmate and ask her forgiveness. Pleased with the turnout and content, Megan said she felt like the event was a success. “Everybody got the point,” she said. Braun is selling a cookbook she created to support NVEEE, or National Voices for Equality, Education and Enlightenment, an anti-bullying advocacy group.

Who reaps most benefit from drop in sales tax? T
TO THE EDITOR ‘End of the World’ not page 1 story I cannot believe that the Salisbury Post put the “End of the World” story on the front page! I am ready for the end of the world, however and whenever that happens, and am assured of my place in heaven. My Bible says “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” (Matthew 25:36). Really, to quote the CDC and highlight the precautions to take? Zombies? Please! I can only imagine the panic some folks felt after reading this junk! I love my newspaper; I am waiting for it at 5 a.m. most days. But this article was worthy of the Enquirer, not a reputable newspaper. — Lynn Masingo Salisbury

Who says government can’t create jobs? Government Motors (formerly General Motors) is hiring 4,000 laid-off workers, and it only cost taxpayers $46 billion. Since $23 billion has already been repaid, add a little interest, and that’s hardly $6 million per job. Just in the nick of time, too. The U.S. Postal Service lost $2.2 billion in the first quarter of 2011 and is on course to reach its borrowing limit of $15 billion by year’s end. How can the post office lose so much money when nobody uses it anymore? According to the postal service, billions are needed to provide healthcare benefits for future retirees! No wonder Joe Sixpack can’t afford decent health care. You think this is insanity? Postal revenues have been in a steady decline for 20 years! If these resources were allocated by the market place, UPS and FedEx would be delivering the mail with health benefits and a profit. You think this is scary? Postal revenues account for less than .01 percent of GDP. Health care accounts for 16 percent of GDP. If it costs government $6 million to save one job and $15 billion to maintain a business nobody uses, what will the cost of an office visit be in 10 years under Obamacare? Oh, well, maybe it’ll be different this time. — Joe Exum

‘ENHANCED INTERROGATION’
What price do we put on principles? “I would find myself trussed up and left for hours in ropes, my biceps bound tightly with several loops to cut off my circulation and the end of the rope cinched behind my back, pulling my shoulders and elbows unnaturally close together. It was incredibly painful.” — Sen. John McCain from his book, “Faith of My Fathers”
The one percent part of this tax goes almost unnoticed by most North Carolinians.
“(John McCain) doesn’t understand how enhanced interrogation works.” — Former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum or the record, John McCain was learning “how enhanced interrogation works” when Rick Santorum was still trying to find a good acne cream. Yes, the Arizona senator, once famed for a maverick integrity, has evidenced a disheartening flexibility of principle in recent years. He has reversed himself on offshore drilling, gays in the military, and even on the question of whether he really is a maverick. But in one conviction, McCain, a former Navy flier held for more than five years as a prisoner in North Vietnam, has remained steadfast: torture is wrong. He LEONARD came to this conclusion through a PITTS regimen of beatings, degradations and humiliations. Santorum’s bizarre comment, made recently in a radio interview, was in response to a recent McCain speech in which he disputed the claim by dead-enders of the last administration that socalled “enhanced interrogation” (i.e., torture) authorized by President Bush led to the information that led to the killing of Osama bin Laden. McCain also took them on in a column for The Washington Post. “I know from personal experience,” he wrote, “that the abuse of prisoners sometimes produces good intelligence but often produces bad intelligence because under torture a person will say anything he thinks his captors want to hear — true or false — if he believes it will relieve his suffering. Often, information provided to stop the torture is deliberately misleading.” Contrary to what has become an article of faith for some, said McCain, torture seems to have played no role in the finding of bin Laden. But what if it had? Would that end justify this means? Or does framing the debate in terms of efficacy not miss the point entirely? Even McCain concedes torture “sometimes pro-
he battle to cut funding to North Carolina public schools is fast becoming a “done deal,” in the jargon of some of our fine legislators in Raleigh. The Republican-dominated N.C. House has proposed cutting K-12 education by 8.8 percent, and not to be outdone, the Senate upped the ante by initially proposing even deeper cuts. (Editor’s note: Senate leader Phil Berger said late last week that the Senate budget measure to be unveiled Tuesday will spend more on public schools than the House version.) According to the N.C. Department of Instruction estimates, the House plan would eliminate 18,000 public school jobs, many of whom are classroom teachers; the Senate’s initial budget proposal would eliminate 20,000 jobs. North Carolina has already lost 10,000 public school jobs this year due to budget cuts, and the only reason more weren’t lost was that federal stimulus money — due to run out after this year — was used to stem the flow of red ink. The Republican view seems to be that the only way to improve public education is to cut the budget, a concept which boggles the imagination and begs for a more reasonable explanation. Well, the explanation is simple, and the sales tax issue is the key. Republican leaders in the N.C. legislature have insisted that the “temporary” one-cent sales tax be allowed to expire on June 30, even though extending it would solve more than one-third of the state’s current budget crisis. In theory, Republicans should be delighted with a sales tax, Salisbury resiwhich is paid equally dent Bill Bucher is by poor and wealthy the director of Fi- individuals. In fact, nancial Services many have exfor the Winstonpressed support for Salem/Forsyth a national sales tax County Schools. and eliminating the federal income tax. However, they also know that North Carolina families already pay precious little in sales taxes because services and other major family expenses such as mortgage payments and rent are exempt from taxation, and other items such as electricity and groceries are taxed at significantly lower rates. The one percent part of this tax goes almost unnoticed by most North Carolinians. “The average person is paying less than a quarter a day as a result of this tax and we believe our kids are worth much more that,” Debra Horton, executive director of the North Carolina PTA, said recently. So why is the new Republican majority in the N.C. legislature so adamant that the one-cent sales tax is to be eliminated June 30? The answer is that big businesses can save millions of dollars in sales taxes, and North Carolina corporate interests — chief among them Raleigh millionaire Art Pope and his conservative think-tank John Locke Foundation — are lobbying heavily to eliminate the onecent part of the sales tax. Corporations pay the same sales taxes as individuals do except for items expressly purchased for resale, and even small changes in sales taxes can have big impacts on profits and dividends for shareholders of publicly-owned corporations. Allowing counties the authority to enact more local sales taxes isn’t popular in Raleigh for the same reasons. Eliminating up to 20,000 North Carolina public school jobs and putting the money into the pockets of shareholders is a poor plan for helping the North Carolina economy recover. So the next time you hear a politician say that he or she is adamantly in favor of “lowering taxes,” ask them, “Whose taxes?” Since the public school job losses caused by these tax cuts will hurt families with children much more than corporations, it begs the question — who exactly will benefit the most from a reduction in sales taxes?

John McCain, who spent 51⁄2 years enduring brutal treatment at the hands of his North Vietnamese captors, doesn’t understand how effective waterboarding and other harsh interrogation techniques can be. duces good intelligence,” but the question is whether that intelligence is worth the price we pay for it. Absent the “ticking bomb” scenario so often evoked by torture enthusiasts (and has anyone ever seen that scenario outside an episode of “24”?) it is hard to see how it could be. The price, after all, is our national character, our good name, our reputation and reality as a nation of laws. The price is to become like Cuba, like Syria, like North Korea, like Iran, a nation of hoods and shackles and dungeons and disappearances. The price is to surrender any last remaining illusion that we are better than that. Some, eager to have hands shiny with the blood of enemies, will consider it a bargain even at those prices. Expedience is their watchword. Let us torture to stop the ticking bomb. Let us torture to find the madman. Let us torture just to see what information we get. But the struggle we wage is not simply a physical one, not simply a battle to save lives. No, this is a struggle between competing ways of seeing the world, a struggle of rival ideals. Some will say the stakes are too high for us to worry about venerating ideals. Actually, they are too high not to. • • • Leonard Pitts is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

Armstrong, an international celebrity and cancer survivor, has long denied doping and has never tested positive.

Pair serve time in pool for rafting offense PAINESVILLE, Ohio (AP) — A northeast Ohio couple found themselves up to their ankles in trouble for rafting on a flood-swollen river without life preservers and lying about it afterward. A judge sentenced them to stand in a tiny swimming pool while wearing life jackets and handing out water safety brochures Saturday at a festival in Painesville, 30 miles northeast of Cleveland.
Twenty-year-old Grace Nash and 22-yearold Bruce Crawford pleaded guilty to misdemeanor misconduct during an emergency. Searchers spent hours looking for them last month after they were spotted on the Grand River. They made it to land but lied to an official about being in the water. They chose the pool punishment and community service over 60 days in jail.

Edwards enjoys spike in value BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press
AssociAted press
carl edwards celebrates his All-star race victory with his crew.
CONCORD — Carl Edwards’ victory in the Sprint All-Star Race was a very, very expensive win. Not for Edwards, who claimed the $1 million prize with his first win in NASCAR’s annual showcase event. But his celebratory drive through the infield grass at Charlotte Motor Speedway tore up the front of his Ford, and rebuilding that car will be costly for Roush-Fenway Racing. That’s just a small part of it, though. Edwards is in a contract year, and Saturday night’s victory likely upped his worth should he reach the free-agent market. He ranks among the elite drivers in NASCAR and it’s assumed his cur-
rent deal with RFR puts him among the highest paid in the sport. NASCAR contracts are sensitive and secret, and nobody really knows exactly what anyone gets paid. The only thing that’s certain, though, is Edwards couldn’t have picked a better year to be a free agent. He’s the current Sprint Cup Series point leader, with one win and nine top-10 finishes in 11 races this season, not including the AllStar victory. He’s also got three wins in the second-tier Nationwide Series, and finished second Sunday at Iowa after flying through the night to the event from the AllStar race. There’s zero doubt team owner Jack Roush wants to keep Edwards in his camp. Asked about
his driver Saturday night, he called him “a rock star” and lauded his entertaining celebratory backflips, and his penchant for going into the stands with the fans after wins. “Some of the drivers wouldn’t go up in the stands like that after a race, and for good reason. But Carl, he’s well thought of and he’s out there doing things that other people wish they thought of first,” Roush said. “And he drives the hell out of our race cars. He was the cornerstone of our organization today. He’s a draw for sponsors and a rallying point for his team.” It’s not clear, though, just where contract talks with Edwards stand.

PREP BASEBALL
Sapp sticks to Wingate BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
GRANITE QUARRY — Will Sapp has maintained a sense of humor in what has frequently been a discouraging recruiting process. Sapp, East Rowan’s senior center fielder, began a hitting streak on March 17 and extended it to 17 games when he went 3-for-4 against South Rowan in an NPC tournament semifinal on May 4. “Then I went 0-for-3 against West Iredell in the championship game to end it,” Sapp said. “Wouldn’t you know it — that’s the game Wingate came to see.” East coach Brian Hightower gets more agitated with recruiting than he does with umpires. Hightower is convinced Sapp will be a productive college hitter and a dynamic center fielder, but Sapp will be heading to Wingate without a scholarship in his pocket. He’s an excellent student who will be getting some academic scholarships, but his baseball future will come down to tryouts during which he’ll have to prove he belongs on a team that won the SAC tournament and played in the Southeast Regional. “I’ll be rooming with Luke Thomas (East’s catch-
er signed with the Bulldogs last fall), and that should help both of us,” Sapp said. Lots of coaches like Sapp. The knock on him when it came down to finding baseball scholarship dollars is he’s 5-foot-10, 150 pounds. Coaches wish he was bigger and stronger and they wonder how much he’ll be able to hit at the next level. Everyone realizes Sapp can run, although he plays faster than the stop-watch says. “He times 6.8 (in the 60yard dash), but he plays center like a 6.5 guy because he gets such a great jump on the ball,” Hightower said. In other words, Hightower would bet his house and Staton Field on Sapp making it in Division II. “He’s not a big guy, but he can play,” Hightower said. “I don’t know what you have to do sometimes as far as recruiting, and it drives me crazy. Will is the best center fielder around. He’s got a strong, accurate arm. He’s great in the classroom.” Hightower’s not upset with any particular school. He’s just frustrated coaches aren’t more excited about a guy he can’t say enough about.

Bosh scored 34 points, LeBron James finished with 22 points and 10 assists, and the Heat remained unbeaten at home in the postseason by beating the Bulls 96-85 in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals on Sunday night. Dwyane Wade added 17 points and nine rebounds for
Miami, which is now 7-0 at home and handed the team that finished with the NBA’s best record its first losing streak since Feb. 5-7. Udonis Haslem sealed it with a jumper with 1:29 left, putting Miami up 93-84. Bosh scored 30 points in Game 1 against Chicago, a game where Miami was embarrassed 103-82. The Heat haven’t lost since, and only trailed for 3:22 in Game 3. “I just wanted to be aggressive and just have some kind of imprint on this series,” said Bosh, who’s in the conference final round for the first time. “I had an aggressive Game 1, Game 2 was so-so, but we still won. But out here on the home floor I just wanted to be aggressive and it turned out to be a good game.”

Miami’s Joel Anthony, center, goes up for a dunk.
The white uniforms circa 1918 were a nice touch, though perhaps the Red Sox should have stopped there. While nothing screams retro more than a guy with a megaphone announcing the next hitter, he might have at least learned how to pronounce Kosuke Fukudome’s name before trying to yell it out to everyone at Fenway Park. In defense of megaphone man, names were simpler a century ago, when the thought of a Japanese right fielder was as foreign as someone hitting 73 home runs in one season. Besides, he was there Saturday more for nostalgia than information. It was all part of baseball’s long and continuing quest to make us feel warm and fuzzy about the sport, and it might have worked had the Red Sox
gone even further and sold box seats for $1 and beers for 10 cents. As it was, it was just window dressing for an interleague series against the Chicago Cubs that was not nearly as interesting as those in baseball tried to make it out to be. I get it that it was the first visit the Cubs have made to Fenway Park since 1918, long before they became the lovable losers that they are today. Returning to Fenway for the first time since losing the World Series to the Red Sox that year was noteworthy enough, even if recently published documents hint the Cubs might have thrown that series in exchange for $10,000 cash. And, as contrived matchups go, it was probably the best of the first weekend of interleague play this season. The

Prep softball East Rowan (22-2) plays at Northwest Cabarrus (22-5) at 6 p.m. on Tuesday in a third-round 3A softball playoff game. The winner will be at home in the fourth round, competing for a spot in the Final Four (June 3-4, Raleigh) against the victor in the Robinson-North Iredell game. East is ranked first in 3A in the North Carolina Softball Coaches Association Poll.
Pro baseball Jerry Sands (Catawba) went 4-for-4 for the L.A. Dodgers on Sunday to boost his batting average from .205 to .241. Sands whacked his 10th double and stole his third base. Whit Merrifield (Davie) was 1-for-4 and stole a base for Wilmington in a 3-1 win against Myrtle Beach on Sunday. Merrifield finished the night at .316.
College baseball Thomas Allen (East Rowan) pitched a scoreless inning for UNC Pembroke against Mount Olive in the Southeast Regional. The freshman finished the season with a 3-0 record and a 2.96 ERA in nine appearances. Allen plans to pitch for the Rowan County American Legion team this summer. Mount Olive won the regional on Sunday by edging Francis Marion 2-1 behind pitcher Carter Capps. The win sends Mount Olive (45-8) to the D-II World Series in Cary. The Trojans ALLEN will play on Saturday. Charlotte is the top seed for the Atlantic 10 Tournament, which will be held in Camden, N.J., May 25-28. The 49ers won their second straight regular season title. East Rowan grads Justin Roland, Ross Steedley and Corbin Shive are team members, along with Northwest Cabarrus’ Justin Seager. Appalachian State finished sixth in the Southern Conference and opens tournament play against No. 3 seed Samford on Wednesday in Charleston, S.C. East Rowan grads Noah Holmes, Trey Holmes and Preston Troutman are members of the Mountaineers. Arkansas had a losing league record as it entered its three-game series with Mississippi. When it was over, Arkansas won the Western Division of the Southeastern Conference and is headed to the league tournament as a No. 2 seed. The Razorbacks dropped the opener on Thursday but swept a Saturday doubleheader from the Rebels to vault to the top of the standings. Arkansas finished the regular season at 36-18 overall and 15-15 in the SEC. That .500 record was enough to win the tightly-contested SEC West. Mississippi State, Alabama and Auburn finished tied for second at 14-16. Ole Miss and LSU, both at 13-17, missed the tournament.

INTERLEAGUE FROM 1B Dodgers playing the White Sox certainly didn’t measure up to it, particularly since the two teams will have now played each other 15 times since the Dodgers took the 1959 World Series from the White Sox in six games. Not that there is any real clamor for them to meet. Other than the 1959 World Series they have shared little more since then than mutual frustration with Manny Ramirez. That’s the problem with interleague play. It’s grown stale, with way too many meetings between teams that have little in common and way too many wasted games against teams that don’t compete against each other in the regular season standings. Even the Yankees and Mets can’t seem to stir up fans, which is probably understandable because this was the 15th regular-season Subway Series between the two teams. Only

two-thirds of Yankee Stadium was full for the first inning of the first game, and there were still tickets available at the box office. Interleague play is celebrating its 15th anniversary this season, as if there’s anything to celebrate about. Other than offering an occasionally intriguing matchup and drawing a few more fans into the ballpark — because the games are generally on weekends it’s hard to even quantify that — it has hardly been the panacea baseball thought it might be when it was first implemented in 1997. It’s cheapened the All-Star Game, and diminished the World Series. While there was once a mystique about players from the two leagues meeting, that is gone now that they meet in some 250 games in the regular season. Think about it. Would Bob Gibson pitching three games to carry the St. Louis Cardinals over the Yankees in 1964 been nearly as exciting if he had already faced Mickey Mantle
and company in the regular season? Would Dennis Eckersley have avoided throwing Kirk Gibson the backdoor slider in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series if he had already faced him that year? Maybe the worst part of interleague play, though, is that it punishes teams unlucky enough to draw one of the better teams in the other league while a rival might draw a relative patsy. That may not seem important in May, but it does in September when division rivals are battling for the playoffs. About the only thing interleague play has done is create some new stats for baseball geeks to obsess about. They will tell you that Mark Buehrle became the career victories leader in interleague play after the White Sox beat the Dodgers on Saturday, something that will surely get him an early invite to the Hall of Fame. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly complained about having to play the White Sox be-
SAPP FROM 1B “Especially with the rule changes this year with the bats,” Hightower said. “Smallball and bunts are back. The college game is great for Sapp.” Hightower has had the advantage of seeing Sapp every day. Sapp doesn’t knock you out at first glance. You have to see him over a period of time to appreciate what he can do defensively, in the batter’s box and on the bases. Basically, he catches everything, he gets on base, and he scores when he gets on base. Hightower said he had a similar experience two years ago when East outfielder Zach Smith was virtually ignored by recruiters. Smith is doing fine at Pitt Community College, and Hightower expects him to make an impact at Catawba next season. Catawba was never in the market for Sapp, probably because it has a very similar player already on the roster. Blake Houston, who started for the Indians in center field this season as a freshman, is basically a left-handed hitting version of Sapp. “Everyone who came to see me said, ‘Yeah, your defense is good, but you need to work on your hitting,’ ”

Will sapp will walk on at Wingate. Sapp said. “I know I’m not 6-2, 190, and I’m not going to hit the ball over the fence consistently. Maybe, one out of 50, I’ll hit out.” Sapp paid jayvee dues at East before settling in as the No. 2 hitter and center fielder for a 3A state championship team as a junior. Hitting in an ideal place
in the lineup between senior stars Preston Troutman and Noah Holmes, Sapp enjoyed a monster season. He batted .369 with 40 runs scored and 29 RBIs. His junior season peaked when he went 5-for-8 with six RBIs in East’s two games in the state championship series to earn MVP

fore the series, saying the Dodgers were at an unfair advantage because his team had nothing to match an American League club with a regular DH who can hit home runs. The Dodgers then went out and proved him right by dropping two out of three to Chicago. Mattingly’s point is well taken, just as the White Sox would have been at a disadvantage had they gone to Los Angeles and played without the DH they count on. It’s long been an issue in the World Series, but there’s no reason it should be an issue in the regular season. Interleague play is probably too entrenched to be eliminated, though there’s no reason it can’t be reduced. My suggestion would be cutting back the 18 games some teams play each year in the other league to just six, and make sure they’re against geographical rivals. Oh, and one more thing. Get rid of the guy with the megaphone.
honors. Wingate, among others, came to watch Sapp several times in the fall but never pulled the trigger on a scholarship offer. Then his senior season got off to a 3-for-18 start. “I was hoping to start better, but I was hitting it at ’em,” Sapp said. “I was starting to think I’d forgotten how to hit, but Hightower kept reminding me that I could.” East’s leadoff man, he started swinging well in the middle of March and finished with good numbers that included a .337 batting average, a .430 on-base percentage, a team-best 35 runs scored and a 13-for-13 effort on stolen bases. “He used both sides of the field and did a lot of good things as our catalyst offensively,” Hightower said. “Defensively, I don’t think anyone was better.” Sapp batted .291 for the Rowan County American Legion team last summer, scored 37 runs and stole a team-high 16 bases. He’s excited about returning. He has a GPA above 4.0 and aspirations of becoming an engineer. Hopefully, baseball will fit into his future as well as academics at Wingate. “Wingate’s coaches have seen him some, but I don’t think they realize yet what they’ve got,” Hightower said. “Will should be a steal for them.”

EDWARDS FROM 1B Unlike teammate Greg Biffle, who was vocal through his negotiations that he wanted a new deal with RFR, there’s almost no public discussion about Edwards. There’s talk in the garage that some of the top teams have interest in Edwards, most notably Joe Gibbs Racing, which has room to add a fourth car. But others don’t believe he has any intention of leaving RFR, and all conversation with other teams is simply testing the market and gauging Edwards’ value. Edwards dodged any consequential discussion about his contract on Saturday night, and hasn’t even indicated if staying at RFR is his first choice. “All I’ll say about that is we’re running really well right now and it’s because

of Jack Roush, Ford, all these people’s hard work,” Edwards said. “Those talks are going on behind closed doors and we’ll hopefully get something done. But right now we’re running well and that is fun. “What I’m trying to do is focus on that because we have a championship to win this year. That’s the No. 1 goal.” Roush wouldn’t bite, either. He explained he doesn’t deal with the financials of contract negotiations, and wants all discussions done quietly to avoid taking away from Edwards’ bid to win his first Cup title. “I try to stay out of the money part of it, but I will have to pay attention to this deal as it gets closer,” Roush said. “It’s not something that we’re going to debate or discuss in the public. It’s not a media issue, it’s a private business issue that’s ongoing.” A business issue that likely becomes more and more expensive with each Edwards accomplishment.

CLEVELAND — Asdrubal Cabrera went 5 for 5 with two homers and five RBIs as the Cleveland Indians completed a three-game sweep of Cincinnati with a 12-4 win Sunday over the reeling Reds, who for the moment have lost bragging rights as Ohio’s best team. Cabrera hit a two-run homer in the first inning off Edinson Volquez (3-2) for the Indians, who did early damage after winning the series’ first two games with late-inning comebacks. Cabrera added a solo homer in the sixth to give Cleveland an 8-4 lead. Michael Brantley, Cabrera and Shin-Soo Choo — the top three hitters in Cleveland’s lineup — went a combined 10 for 12 with six runs and nine RBIs. Red Sox 5, Cubs 1 BOSTON — Tim Wakefield held Chicago to four hits in 6 2-3 innings, and Adrian Gonzalez had four hits of his own to lead the Boston Red Sox to a 51 victory on Sunday and send the Cubs home after their first visit to Fenway Park since the 1918 World Series. Boston took two out of three from Chicago and has now won eight of its last nine to all but erase the damage from an awful April and move one-half game behind the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays in the AL East. Making his third start of the season, this one because of injuries to John Lackey and Daisuke Matsuzaka, Wakefield (1-1) had faced the minimum number of batters when he struck out Jeff Baker with what would have been the third out of the fifth inning. Yankees 9, Mets 3 NEW YORK — Derek Jeter tied the score with a two-run single that sparked an eightrun rally in the seventh inning, Alex Rodriguez drove in the go-ahead run with yet another hit after an intentional walk to Mark Teixeira and the Yankees pummeled the Mets in the finale of their weekend Subway Series. In a slump for most of the season, Jeter hit a two-run, bases-loaded single off Mike Pelfrey (3-4) that made it 3-all — just the second time since Aug. 11 that Jeter tied the score or put the Yankees ahead from the seventh inning on. Rangers 2, Phillies 0 PHILADELPHIA — Matt Harrison took a five-hitter into the ninth inning and helped Texas avoid a three-game sweep. Harrison (4-4) struck out
three, walked three and threw 117 pitches in his longest outing of the season, finishing two outs shy of his first shutout since 2009. Neftali Feliz got the final two outs for his ninth save. Rays 4, Marlins 0 MIAMI — James Shields pitched a three-hitter with a career-high 13 strikeouts and Tampa Bay avoided a threegame sweep. Shields (5-2) walked just one in his second shutout and third complete game of the season. He didn’t allow a baserunner past first base until the ninth inning and had nine strikeouts in the last four innings. The victory snapped a three-game losing streak for the Rays, who haven’t been swept by their intrastate rivals since 2007. Astros 3, Blue Jays 2 TORONTO — Hunter Pence hit a two-run homer, Wandy Rodriguez pitched six solid innings and Houston held off the Blue Jays to win a series for the first time in three weeks. Houston, which had lost 11 of 14 coming in, won its first series since taking two of three from Milwaukee between April 29 and May 1. Orioles 2, Nationals 1 BALTIMORE — Vladimir Guerrero’s two-run homer in the seventh inning spoiled Jordan Zimmermann’s stellar outing and lifted Baltimore over Washington. Through the first six innings, Zimmermann (2-5) was nearly perfect, allowing just two baserunners on a walk and a double in the second inning. He had retired 13 straight. Tigers 2, Pirates 0 PITTSBURGH — Rick Porcello allowed one hit over eight innings and Detroit snapped a five-game losing streak. Porcello (4-2) took a no-hitter into the sixth before giving up Ronny Cedeno’s leadoff double. He struck out three and walked two in his first start in nearly two weeks. Jose Valverde worked out of a two-on, none-out jam in the ninth to earn his 11th save in 11 opportunities. White Sox 8, Dodgers 3 CHICAGO — Alexei Ramirez homered and drove in a career-high five runs, and the suddenly surging White Sox beat the Dodgers. Ramirez hit a two-run homer in the first inning, then added an RBI double in the third, a run-scoring single in the fourth and another RBI double in the eighth for the White Sox, who have won 11 of
Vancouver takes advantage Associated Press
SAN JOSE, Calif. — With the sharp-passing Sedin twins, plenty of players with big shots, and a goldCanucks 4 medal winning goalie, the Vancouver Sharks 2 Canucks are tough enough to beat in normal situations. That task becomes nearly impossible when they have two extra skaters on the ice. The Canucks converted three successive 5-on-3 power plays in a span of less than 2 minutes during the second period, with Sami Salo scoring twice and Ryan Kesler adding the third, to beat the San Jose Sharks 4-2 on Sunday in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals to take a 3-1 series lead. “We kept marching to the box, they kept scoring,” Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. Henrik Sedin helped set up the three goals in a span of 1:55 as the Canucks needed only 37 seconds on the three 5-on-3 situations to become the first team in NHL history to score three goals with a two-man advantage in the playoffs. He added another assist in the third period to set a franchise record for assists in a game, increasing his league-leading total to 19 points this postseason. “When you give Henrik that much open time, he’s going to find a way to make plays,” teammate Alexandre Burrows said. “We have great shooters on that power play and it’s nice to see them. He’s a magical player the way he’s able to hold on to that puck and make plays.” Burrows added an even-strength goal off a nifty pass from Henrik Sedin in the third period as the Canucks moved to the brink of reaching the Stanley Cup finals for the first time since 1994. Daniel Sedin added three assists, and Roberto Luongo made 33 saves. Vancouver had just 13 shots all game, scoring on four of their seven shots in the final two periods.

Asdrubal cabrera had five hits and five RBi for cleveland. 15. White Sox starter Edwin Jackson (4-5) improved to 2-2 with a 2.84 ERA at home this season. Jackson went 5 2-3 innings, allowing one run on five hits, walking two and striking out seven. Cardinals 9, Royals 8, 10 innings KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Colby Rasmus drew a basesloaded walk — his fifth free pass of the day — that forced in the go-ahead run in the 10th, and St. Louis walked 13 times in a wacky victory over the Royals. Every walk Rasmus drew was off a different pitcher. The Cardinals had 12 hits, a hit batter and reached on an error in the 4 hour, 9 minute game. Angels 4, Braves 1 ANAHEIM, Calif. — Torii Hunter ended a home run drought of 28 games with a goahead shot off Derek Lowe, rookie Tyler Chatwood pitched seven strong innings and Los Angeles beat Atlanta in the rubber game of their interleague series. Chatwood (3-2) allowed a run and five hits, struck out six and walked two. Jordan Walden got three outs for his eighth save in 11 chances. Mariners 6, Padres 1 SAN DIEGO — Felix Hernandez tied his career high with 13 strikeouts in eight dominant innings to lead Seattle over San Diego. Hernandez (5-4) allowed one run and six hits without a walk as the Mariners won their fifth straight and completed a three-game sweep. Seattle held a commanding advantage over San Diego in runs (14-2) and hits (32-14) while striking out 35 Padres batters in the series. Giants 5, Athletics 4, 11 innings SAN FRANCISCO — Emmanuel Burriss singled home
the winning run in the 11th inning and San Francisco completed a three-game sweep of the cross-bay rival Oakland Athletics. Burriss’ line drive off reliever Brian Fuentes (1-6) scored speedy Darren Ford from second. Ford just beat right fielder Ryan Sweeney’s throw to the plate, sending the Giants running out of the dugout to celebrate their fifth straight victory and seventh walk-off win this season. Diamondbacks 3, Twins 2 PHOENIX — Juan Miranda homered, Daniel Hudson had an RBI single to go with eight strong innings on the mound and Arizona beat Minnesota to complete a three-game sweep. The Diamondbacks won their sixth straight, their longest run in three seasons, and eighth in nine games to climb to .500 (2323) for the first time since April 20. Miranda, 9 for 18 on the homestand with five RBIs, left in the eighth after being hit in the right wrist by a pitch. National League Brewers 3, Rockies 1 MILWAUKEE — Ryan Braun hit a two-run triple off Rockies ace Ubaldo Jimenez and scored on a throwing error, lifting the Brewers to a three-game sweep over Colorado. Jimenez (0-4) threw the seventh complete game of his career and allowed only two hits, but struggled to find the strike zone with five walks and a hit batter. He also received little support from the rest of the Rockies’ sputtering offense.
HEAT FROM 1B A really good game — it was five points shy of his postseason career best. Carlos Boozer finished with 26 points and 17 rebounds for Chicago, which had won the first four meetings of the season with Miami. Derrick Rose finished with 20 points, but struggled from the field once again, making only 8 of his 19 shots. Taj Gibson had 11 off the Chicago bench. Boozer made a pair of free throws with 6:39 left to get Chicago within 78-74, the outcome clearly hanging in the balance. Minutes later, that was no longer the case — not after Miami scored nine straight to build more than enough of a cushion. Bosh and Boozer exchanged words and looks more than once on Sunday night, but Bosh ended up with the upper hand. “All I care about is winning games,” Bosh said. “And we do whatever it takes to

St. John’s coach Steve Lavin calls Polee “an outstanding individual with a bright future” in a release put out by the school on Sunday.

The magazine’s May 16 issue has a quote it attributes to Rose, in which he was quoted as saying the NBA has a “huge” problem and needs “a level playing field.” Before Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals Sunday night against Miami, Rose issued a statement through the Bulls saying he does not even recall being asked about the topic. He adds that if he was asked about performance-enhancing drug use, he “clearly misunderstood” the question. Rose says, “Let me be clear, I do not believe there is a performance-enhancing drug problem in the NBA.”

FORT WORTH, Texas — David Toms was beginning to wonder if he could ever win again on the PGA Tour. Now he has the most satisfying victory of all. More than five years after he last won, a week after losing in a playoff and a day after blowing a seven-stroke lead at Colonial to go into the final round trailing, the 44year-old Toms shot a 3-under 67 on Sunday to win at Hogan’s Alley. “I’m not dreaming, am I? This is actually happening, right?” Toms asked when he entered the interview room wearing the championship plaid jacket. “Wow, I didn’t know if this day would ever come again.” Toms regained the lead for good from Charlie Wi with an eagle with a wedge shot from 83 yards at the par-5 11th hole, and finished 15 under — a stroke ahead of Wi. “It’s one of the most perfect shots I’ve ever hit,” Toms said. Toms’ long-elusive 13th career victory came a week after a playoff loss to K.J. Choi at The Players Championship, when he missed a short par putt on the extra hole for his sixth runner-up finish since last winning in January 2006 at the Sony Open in Hawaii. “To win after this time frame and to come back after what happened last week certainly means more to me than any other victory,” said Toms, the 2001 PGA Championship winner.

Fans who deposits down on season tickets earlier this year have begun receiving invoices for the remaining balance.

get that.” How good was Miami’s defense down that stretch? Bulls center Joakim Noah tried a 5footer with 4:25 left. He shot it over the backboard. Game 4 is Tuesday night in Miami. Predictably, given the scene and the stakes, there was an abundance of energy from tip-off. James, Wade and Rose all tumbled into courtside photographers while trying to make plays in the first five minutes, and Haslem was greeted by a huge roar when he entered — his first home appearance since Nov. 19 — later in the opening period. Eventually, the emotional swings calmed down, and offense picked up in the second quarter. Bosh was 5 for 5 in the second quarter on his way to a game-high 16 points by halftime. Boozer only missed one of his five shots in the second period, after going 0 for 5 to begin the game. As for the past two NBA MVPs, everything was a battle.

Don’t take chances with your hard earned money. Run your ad where it will pay for itself. Daily exposure brings fast results.
Right now, government officials have to publish their intentions in the newspaper. Including where they intend to build facilities you don't want down the block. But that will change if some politicians in Raleigh get their way. They want to start putting public notices online instead, buried somewhere on a littleseen, rarely visted government website. Call or email your legislators and tell them to vote against H.B. 472! If you are uncertain who your legislator is, go to www.ncpress.com for a link to discover who represents you.

Cushing’s causes multiple problems Dear Dr. Gott: As a faithful reader of your column, I have a request: Would you please mention, on April 8, if possible, that April 8 is Cushing’s Awareness Day? The world needs to know of this disease. It has changed my life. I was a healthy woman until the age of 55. I knew then that “something” was wrong. Long story short: After more a year, I was diagnosed with Cushing’s disease. I have had two brain surgeries, Graves’ disease, recurring Cushing’s and 25 radiaDR. PETER tion treatGOTT ments to the pituitary. Eight years later, I still live with the effects of this monster. I am on thyroid medication for life. I have high blood pressure and other health issues, as well. I just want the world to know of this disease. Even if only one person is helped by your printing information about this topic, then a wonderful thing will have been done. Thank you, Dr. Gott. Dear Reader: Unfortunately, I was not able to print your letter, having only received it on April 6. It takes about three weeks before any letter appears in the newspaper. I will, however, print a general overview of the condition. Cushing’s syndrome is a rare endocrine disorder. It occurs when the body produces or receives too much cortisol over an extended period of
time. It can be the result of prolonged use of high doses of glucocorticosteroids, such as prednisone, or from a malfunction of the body’s natural production. This can be the result of pituitary adenomas (up to 70 percent of cases, known as Cushing’s disease), ectopic ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) syndrome (ACTH-secreting tumors or cancer outside the pituitary), and rarely can be caused by adrenal tumors or inherited. Cortisol is a vital component in the body. It helps the body respond to stress, maintain blood pressure and cardiovascular function, regulates carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, reduces the inflammatory response of the immune system, and balances the effects of insulin. The most common symptoms include a rounded face and upper body (abdomen, upper back, neck and between the shoulders (“buffalo hump”), obesity and relatively slender arms and legs. Other symptoms can include acne, slow-healing cuts, bites or infection, bone loss, muscle weakness, fatigue, cognitive difficulties, high blood pressure, high blood glucose levels, headaches, thin skin with easy bruising, purple/red stretch marks, depression and/or anxiety, abnormal menstruation and excess body and facial hair in women, and erectile dysfunction and a decrease in libido and fertility in men. Children typically present with obesity and slowed growth. Treatment depends on the cause. Steroid use to control/treat another condi-
tion often requires lowering the dosage or, if possible, switching to a nonsteroid medication. Pituitary adenomas are most often surgically removed. If surgery fails or isn’t an option, radiation therapy and/or cortisol-inhibiting drugs may be used. Ectopic ACTH syndrome can be cured by total removal of the abnormal ACTH-secreting tissue; however, these can be microscopic or widespread at diagnosis and difficult to locate. Cortisol-inhibiting drugs are beneficial. If the abnormal source of the ACTH cannot be found, removal of the adrenal glands may be recommended. Adrenal tumors are also treated by surgical removal of the adrenal glands. Anyone interested in learning more can go online to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (www2.niddk .nih.gov/), the Hormone Foundation (www. hormone.org) or Cushing’s Support and Research Foundation (www.csrf .net). If you think you may have the condition, talk to your physician and ask to be tested for it. If he or she is unable or unwilling, ask for a referral to an endocrinologist.

Count to a dozen for a dozen needed BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
John Steinbeck said, “Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.” You hope winners are like rabbits. You get a couple, continue to handle the cards well, and pretty soon you have the dozen needed for your small slam. In today’s deal, how would you try to collect the necessary in your contract of six no-trump? West leads the heart 10. First, North, with 4-3-33 distribution, sensibly declined to look for a 4-4
spade fit. Second, since your opening bid showed 15-17 points in the modern style, it was just possible that either two kings, or an ace and a king, were missing. So North used two doses of Gerber, asking for aces and kings. You begin with 10 top tricks: two spades, three hearts, two diamonds and three clubs. You might get two extra winners from spades.

low to dummy’s jack. Here, though, the clubs split 3-3. Now you require only three spade tricks. The best play is to cash dummy’s ace, cross to your king, and lead back toward dummy’s remaining jack-five. You will get those three tricks 77 percent of the time.

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER The storm system that brought active weather to the Northern Plains during the past few days will lift northeastward through Wisconsin toward southern Ontario, Canada on Monday. As it exits, precipitation in the Northern Plains will taper off, while showers linger in Minnesota. Ahead of this system, scattered showers, periods of heavy rain, and thunderstorms will develop from the Great Lakes through the Southern Plains and eastward into parts of the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast. Areas of Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana will see the heaviest rain showers. Meanwhile, moist and moderate to strong unstable atmospheric conditions ahead of this system and fronts will create a moderate risk of severe storms in central and northern Oklahoma. Areas from the Central and Southern Plains northeastward into Mid-Mississippi, Tennessee, and Ohio Valleys, and the Lower Great Lakes are at slight risk of severe thunderstorms. Severe thunderstorms in these regions may come with damaging wind, large hail, and a few tornadoes in distinct storms. In the West, a cold trough of low pressure will stir up showers and isolated thunderstorms in parts of the Pacific Northwest, Idaho, Nevada, and Utah as it lingers over the Intermountain West.
