Planned recycling center to create 200 jobs BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
BADIN — Electronic Recyclers International (ERI) announced Monday that it will open a regional recycling hub at Alcoa’s former aluminum smelting plant in Badin, providing up to 200 jobs. “We are so humbled and honored to be a new member of the town of Badin and a new citizen in the great state of North Carolina,” said John Shegerian, chairman and CEO of ERI, in a telephone interview. Shegerian made the announcement before a crowd of 100 community leaders, company representa-
tive and state and local officials in Badin. He said the company will begin operations in a temporary facility in July before moving into a 165,000square-foot building in January 2012. ERI already has named a plant manager for the site and plans to hire about 20 to 30 employees this summer. It said it will grow its workforce to more than 150 employees by the end of 2012 and eventually plans to hire up to 200 employees as its recycling volume grows. ERI said it will work closely with Stanly Community College and the North Carolina Employment Security Commission to recruit employees
and plans to hold a local job fair in the next six to eight weeks. Badin Mayor James Harrison said the company’s decision is welcome news for the town. “This announcement is what we have been praying for ever since the shuttering of the Alcoa Inc. smelting operation,” Harrison said in the press release. “I hope that ERI’s selection of Badin is a sign of the good things starting to take place for the Badin community and Stanly County.” Stanly County Commissioner Josh Morton said the company’s move will help the county’s economic development efforts. “This company will put people in
our community to work, and ERI’s presence in Badin and Stanly County will spur new economic activity,” Morton said in the press release. ERI will be the first tenant in the Badin Business Park, located at the site of the former Badin Works plant. Alcoa has been actively recruiting businesses to the site, said representative Mike Belwood. “This is great news for Badin and great news for Badin Business Park, which is a property we plan to redevelop,” Belwood said. Before selecting the Badin site earlier this month, ERI considered locations in Georgia, Tennessee and South Carolina for its Southeast re-

cycling center. Shegerian said he had never heard of Badin before Kevin Anton, Alcoa’s chief sustainability officer, called him in December. “It wasn’t even on my radar, he said. “He asked if we had signed a deal for the Southeast hub yet... and he said, ‘Did you consider Badin, North Carolina?’ ” Shegerian said he decided to visit the town, where he found a facility with the high ceilings, truck access and room to grow that ERI needs. “The fact that we get to recycle

RALEIGH — The state Senate budget set to be unveiled today keeps a House provision to fund the N.C. Transportation Museum at 50 percent for a year before requiring it to support itself. The budget proposed by Gov. Beverly Perdue in February would have eliminated the state’s $1 million appropriation to the Spencer museum starting July 1. Sen. Andrew Brock said the version drafted by legislators still would remove that funding, but it would give the museum a transitional year to work on ways BROCK to make up for it. Brock, a Republican who represents Rowan and Davie counties, added that the museum would be given a $300,000 fund for emergency repairs and other urgent needs. He also said the state might be able to avoid cutting the rest of the regular funding next year. “There has always been a supplemental budget (between budget years),” he said. “Hopefully, Rowan County Board we’ll have some extra of Education gets money for that.” look at potential job Senate Republi- losses, 3A cans prepared Monday to reveal a North Carolina $19.4 billion budget proposal by pointing to what they call positives for public education and the recovering economy even with deep spending cuts that have Democrats including Perdue worried.

Cost of cleaning up meth labs falling on local governments BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — If authorities in Rowan County were to discover a methamphetamine lab today, the bill for the cleanup — at least $3,500 — would fall into the hands of the county. In February, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration ended its funding for lab cleanup, which had been provided for more than 10 years, sending the cost to state governments. In North Carolina, the State Bureau of Investigations began funding the cleanups. But as of May 5, the SBI had spent more than $164,000 on cleanups since the Feb. 25

cut-off date, and requested State Contingency and Emergency Funds through the Office of State Budget and Management, but the request was not approved. So, the SBI had to turn the costs over to local and state agencies May 10. Though the county does not have the money in the remaining year’s budget, nor next year’s budget, Rowan County Sheriff Kevin Auten said that County Manager Gary Page told him that the county would find the funding. “He said, ‘Do your job. Do what you need to do,’ ” Auten said. “I still say that meth lab discoveries and arresting people for these meth labs is the greatest service that our drug unit can provide, and proseToday’s forecast 88º/65º Partly cloudy

they argue will create tens of thousands of jobs when combined with the expiration of temporary taxes. The tax package, detailed in a document obtained by the Associated Press, says the GOP leadership wants to reduce the state’s three individual tax brackets by a quarter percentage point for at least the next two years. The proposal also would exempt the first $50,000 of income generated by a small business for the same twoyear period and changes the basis by which an individual’s income tax is calculated. A handful of tax credits and deductions also would be eliminated. The tax changes also would allow a penny sales tax increase and an extra 2 or 3 percent to every individual and corporate income tax bill set in 2009 to expire on time, losing $1.3 billion in revenues in the coming fiscal year. GOP senators put the emphasis of their message on the adjustments made to the public schools and the University of North Carolina system. The changes mean Senate Republicans set aside more money for education than the House plan approved three weeks ago. Overall, however, the measure still spends roughly $500 million less in the next fiscal year compared to the $19.9 billion Perdue offered in her February budget proposal and less than she did on public education, which comprises around 60 percent of each year’s spending plan. Like the House plan, which spent $19.3 billion, the Senate budget makes large cuts because Republicans wants to let a temporary 1 cent sales tax increase expire, at a cost of $1.1 billion. Perdue kept three-quarters of the penny in place. Brock, who co-chairs the Appropriations Subcommittee on General Government and Information Technology, said subcommittee chairs were given the authority to evaluate each item in the budget. “I went through it line by line, asking ‘Where can we save money?’ ” Brock said. “We’re trying to make government as efficient as possible.” Sen. Neal Hunt, R-Wake, co-chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said he preferred not to talk about the size of the overall cuts for the public schools and the UNC and community college systems when compared to what would have to be spent to keep services at current levels. That difference would be more than $1 billion. “I’m not big talking about percentages,” Hunt said. “We’re talking about results.” After the full Senate approves its budget next week, House and Senate members

are expected to negotiate differences and present a final plan to Perdue in June for her approval. She’s been critical of the House proposal that fellow Democrats have said would eliminate more than 18,000 positions. The GOP said that number is overstated. In meetings with reporters and newspaper editorial boards, Senate Republicans discussed their proposal to hire more teachers in early grades while cutting more funding for teacher assistants than the House did. Money for teacher assistants in grades 13 would be eliminated, compared to grades 2-3 in the House proposal. For education funding, Brock said legislators are shifting priorities away from administration and other areas and toward classroom teachers. “Do we have bigger class sizes with a teacher assistant, or do we have smaller class sizes without a teacher assistant?” Brock said. “Those are the things we’re trying to balance out.” The Senate would hire some 1,400 more teachers in grades 1-3 to reduce the teacher-student ratio for those classrooms from the current 1-to-18 to 1-to-17. Hunt said it’s the first step in a goal to reduce the ratio to 1-to-15. The second year of the twoyear budget also will set aside a couple hundred million dollars for a pay plan that will reward teachers for student performance, Hunt said. The state would hire an outside consultant next fiscal year to help develop the merit-pay plan, he said. Senate Republicans argue their plan will lead to better academic outcomes for students, citing studies that show student performance improves when they are in smaller classes with a quality teacher. Senate Minority Leader Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe, said the GOP’s budget will move North Carolina backward on education and lay off thousands. “Republicans aren’t reforming education, they’re dismantling our public schools,” Nesbitt said in a prepared statement. “Truth is, the GOP budget will cut from every classroom in North Carolina.” Hunt said a package being incorporated will include cuts to the corporate and individual income tax rates and a tax break for small businesses on their $50,000 of income. The House budget had set aside $230 million for the coming year for such a package but didn’t provide details. Six budget subcommittees will review the GOP plan today but won’t vote. The full appropriations committee will take amendments Wednesday. The first of two required floor votes is expected May 31, said Senate leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham.

School board hears of expected job cutbacks BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
EAST SPENCER — On the evening before the release of the Senate’s state budget proposal, the Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education talked about what the cutbacks could mean here. Tara Trexler, the district’s chief financial officer, said the budget would cut funding for teacher assistants in first through third grades in order to fund teacher positions to lower class size. But, the teacher/student ratio would only drop slightly from 1:18 to 1:17 next year, she said. “It’s going to be a staggered process,” Trexler said. School board member Dr. Richard Miller pointed out that means there will be one adult for every 17 children rather than two for 18. Board member Kay Wright Norman said she’s concerned about where the budget is heading.
“By the time we get to that smaller class, we will have already lost some of the gains that we have made,” she said. Trexler said another concern for the school system is the proposal to extend the school calendar by five days. “It would remove five teacher workdays and make them instructional days,” she said. “A few years back we saw the calendar for teachers reduced from 220 to 215 day so we are already down five teacher workdays.” Trexler said the additional days would also mean increased transportation costs. “There are multiple layers with this, I’m not sure they have had the opportunity to work it down to all the impact,” she said. “I’m not sure they considered all that costs that will go along with this.” A merit-based pay plan is also on

Kannapolis discusses proposed budget Cuts spending, leaves tax rate unchanged BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com
KANNAPOLIS — At first glance, City Manager Mike Legg said, Kannapolis’ proposed budget for the 2011-12 fiscal year doesn’t look exciting. There aren’t many changes that stand out to the average resident. The proposal leaves the property tax rate unchanged at 49 cents per $100 of value. The biggest cost increase is a $3.20 per month fee for the city’s new curbside recycling program — a service many residents have requested and most cities Kannapolis’ size offer. The important thing, Legg told members of the Kannapolis City Council at Monday’s meeting, is that the budget proposal lays the groundwork for future recovery. “We’re in an economic cycle that continues to be stagnant at best,” Legg said. No matter what the economists say, he told council members, there’s a lag time between when the recession “officially” ends and local people see jobs and investments. This coming year’s budget “builds a firm foundation long-term, although average citizens won’t see major changes,” Legg said. The proposed budget is $45 million — a decrease of $354,220 from the current year’s budget. It means a third straight year without pay increases for employees; however, there are no fur-

KANNAPOLIS — Mayor Bob Misenheimer is doing well after being hospitalized last week for high blood pressure. The two-term Kannapolis mayor remains hospitalized at CMC-Northeast, where he has been since late last week. Misenheimer was first elected mayor in 2005. At Monday’s Kannapolis City Council meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Gene McCombs told council members that the mayor was in good condition and good spirits. McCombs said he had spoken to Misenheimer earlier that day. “He looks forward to getting back into the swing of things as soon as possible,” McCombs said. Earlier Monday, Misenheimer’s daughter, Mary Lawton, told the Post by phone that he was recovering well. “He’s doing great,” Lawton said. Contact Hugh Fisher via the editor’s desk at 704797-4244.

Travel North Carolina over the next four years and you’re destined for a rendezvous with America’s costliest war in human terms. North Carolina’s commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War will be an understated affair. There is little to celebrate about the bloody war, whose causes and aftermath still elicit strong emotions. But led by the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources, state archivists, historians and park officials have developed a slate of events and exhibits over the next four years to give modern-day North Carolinians an insight into an era whose people performed laudable feats of bravery and suffered gut-wrenching loss and deprivation. The theme of the commemoration is “Freedom, Sacrifice, Memory.” Like many states, North Carolina heavily promotes its Civil War tourism. Only a few major battles shook the state, but several significant events for the Confederacy took place here. And North Carolina stands out in the war effort. It was one of the last states to secede from the
zens’ attempts to raise a volunteer company of infantry. It will be held at the Zebulon B. Vance Birthplace in Weaverville in western North Carolina. Vance was the state’s popular Civil War governor. Information about the event is available by calling 828-645-6706. Thirteen of the state’s 27 historic sites will launch a new, comprehensive education initiative this year to draw attention to North Carolina’s experience in the war. Seven sites have organized specific programs on the war, including Bennett Place, a Durham homestead where the largest surrender of the war took place; the State Capitol in Raleigh; and the CSS Neuse State Historic Site in Kinston, where the remains of one of the Confederate Navy’s few ironclad vessels is on display. Other cultural sites with no direct connection to the war will host events, too, including Tryon Palace in New Bern; and Somerset Place in Creswell, one of the upper South’s largest plantations. On June 11, Historic Halifax will unveil wayside exhibits that present the local history of the maritime Underground
KANNAPOLIS — Forty-nine teacher assistants and 19 teachers were issued pink slips by the Kannapolis City school system last month. The district released a detailed list of cuts — which will take effect at the end of the current school year and help fill an estimated $2.1 million shortfall — Monday after a request from a Post reporter. Eleven of the 19 teacher positions being slashed are from the More at Four program. Ellen Boyd, the district’s director of community relations, said all of the teachers and teacher assistants associated with the program have been cut. “We planned for the elimination of that program because of information from DPI that said funding for More at Four could be ended,” she said. “However, if funding is preserved for More at Four, we will rehire as many More at Four staff as the budget allows.” State legislators have considered merging the early childhood education programs Smart Start and More at Four in an effort to save money. Boyd said the majority of teacher assistant jobs being slashed will come from elementary schools, where they are more heavily concentrated. “Teacher assistants are the largest group affected because the teacher assistant line item is expected to be cut in the state budget more severely than any other personnel category,” Boyd said.

Police investigate two armed robberies SALISBURY — The Salisbury Police Department is investigating two armed robberies that happened about an hour apart Saturday night. According to police, the first robbery rook place at 10:30 p.m. outside of Big Lots at Salisbury Mall, 1935 W. Jake Alexander Blvd. Police said two female employees had just locked up the store and were walking to their cars when two men came up to them, one holding a shotgun. The men demanded the store’s deposit bag, but the women didn’t have it. So the robbers took the women’s purses and ran, jumping over a fence into the Clancy Hills Apartments. Neither female was injured. The second robbery happened outside of Dollar Tree, 211 Faith Road, shortly before 11 p.m. Police said two employees were walking to their cars when they were approached by a man wearing a hoodie and a bandana across his face. The man pulled a handgun out, the report said, pointed it at the employees and demanded the store deposit. One of the employees handed over the deposit, and the man took off running. Investigators ask anyone with information about these incidents to contact the Salisbury Police Department at 704-638-5333.

A Rowan County man was convicted in Superior Court Monday after being caught on surveillance camera breaking into his neighbor’s home while the man was on vacation. T o d d Clayton Hagans, 27, pleaded guilty to November 2010 charges of attempted conspiracy to traffic HAGANS opium/heroin, breaking and entering, and larceny after breaking and entering. The victim, Cletus Williams, of Glover Road, was in court and told the
judge he wanted his items returned. A stolen air compressor apparently was pawned. Williams had been out of town for several days, and when he returned Oct. 29, he noticed some things in his home had been moved. While at home, he noticed a lamp had been knocked down. He thought he’d knocked it over, but when he began to look around the house several things were out of place. Williams discovered someone brok into his house through a basement window and stole a small coin bank and the air compressor. Williams gave investigators video surveillance of his property showing Hagans walking around the side of his house. Detectives met with Hagans’ next door,
but a search of his home yielded no evidence linking him to the break-in. Hagans attorney, Bays Shoaf said the drug charge stemmed from an undercover buy in 2008. Shoaf said his client had a foot injury and doctors prescribed pain medications. “I imagine he was there to buy the pills for himself,” Shoaf said. Hagan went with someone else to buy the pills. “He is trying to better himself,” Shoaf said. Superior Court Judge Joseph Crosswhite sentenced Hagans to a minimum of 2.4 years and a maximum of 3.6 years in the Department of Correction. Contact reporter Shavonne Potts at 704-797-4253.

A Rowan County man accused of harassing his exwife and attempting to run over her new boyfriend was found guilty Monday. Justin Paul Miller, 30, faced multiple charges stemming from various incidents involving his exwife, whom the Post is not naming, which occurred during a six-month period. The wife had private warrants issued against Miller for communicating threats and violating a domestic violence protection order. Miller was convicted of communicating threats, assault with a deadly weapon, second-degree trespass, harassing phone calls, violating a domestic violence protective order, false report to police, misuse of 911 system and speeding 103 mph in a 55 mph zone. Miller accepted an Alford plea, which essentially is when a person does not admit guilt but acknowledges there is sufficient evidence to convince a court of his guilt. Superior Court Judge Joseph Crosswhite consolidated the charges into two, sentencing Miller to 150 days with credit for the five months he served in jail and 150 days in the Department of Correction, which was suspended to 30 months supervised probation. He was ordered to complete an abuser treatment program as well as substance abuse assessment. The judge also told him not to harass or assault his exwife. One of the incidents occurred May 2010 when Miller threatened his exwife by telephone and then showed up to her house. He also repeatedly called and threatened her. Court documents also said Miller called the boyfriend 20 times in one
day. According to court records, Miller threatened to kill his ex-wife’s boyfriend and tried to run him over with his car. In another incident, Miller is said to have tried to break the front door down at his ex-wife’s home. When he couldn’t get through the door, he used a ladder to gain access through a window. “I’m not sure it was a drug problem, said Assistant District Attorney Tim Gould. Miller told the judge he quit taking his medication when his wife left, but he did not indicate what type of medication he was taking. He said he had some highs and lows. “I don’t blame it on her. It’s a bad situation that got worse,” he said. The judge asked if Miller understood the importance of taking his medications and inquired if he was at a high point in his life. Miller said he has gotten back on his medications and takes them regularly. Miller’s attorney James Davis said his client’s behavior was precipitated by an affair and his ex-wife issued the private warrants one right after the other. Davis also said he’s known Miller since he was a child, he was a general contractor and has two upcom-
ing projects. “He has done very well now,” Davis said. “I hope you can get this behind you and move on,” Crosswhite told Miller. Contact reporter Shavonne Potts at 704-7974253.
Senate agrees to let distilleries sell bottles in NC RALEIGH (AP) — Liquor bottles could be sold by North Carolina distilleries under legislation that would allow them to sell their products after visitors take a tour. The Senate voted 32-18 on Monday in favor of permitting distilleries to sell what they make at the same price a customer would pay inside an Alcoholic Beverage Control store. Sen. Martin Nesbitt of Asheville sought the bill to help a large distiller getting started in his area and to promote tourism. Sales could only occur in areas where ABC stores have been approved. Republicans were divided on the issue. Sen. Buck Newton of Wilson said on the Senate floor he was worried the bill would weaken ABC laws. The bill now goes to the House.

SALISBURY — An East Spencer man on probation was arrested Saturday morning after running from a probation officer with a crack rock in his pocket, a Salisbury Police Department report said. Bryon Anthony Anderson, 26, of 1115 Barbour St., was charged with a probation violation and possession of a schedule II controlled ANDERSON substance. He is in jail under a $17,000 bond. Police said a probation officer was attempting to serve a probation violation warrant on Anderson and called the Salisbury Police Department for assistance. Anderson ran down East Ridge Road, police said, and the officers were able to search him and find a crack rock weighing 1 gram.
several people called police early Saturday morning to report a man lying down in a car near 1935 W. Jake Alexander Blvd. around 4 a.m. Police responded and found Corrales asleep behind the wheel inside the running car, with an open beer sitting in the console, the CORRALES report said. An officer tried to wake up Corrales, but was unsuccessful, so he applied a sternum rub. Corrales woke up and slapped the officer on the shoulder. Another officer restrained Corrales, who continued to struggle until one of the officers shot him with a stun gun. An alcohol sensor test was conducted on Corrales and he blew a 0.15 and 0.16, according to police. That’s double the legal .08 blood-alcohol limit.

nothing against you, but with the economy the way it is I don’t think we should be extending large personnel contracts right now.” This is the third year Grissom has turned down the 3 percent performance-based raise, but her contract includes an automatic 2.5 percent raise. Grissom will earn $129,660 from the state and $64,166 from local funds, for a total of $193,826 this year. Her contract will now be extended to 2015. The board also presented Grissom with a floral arrangement and chocolates during the meeting. “We appreciate all that you do and all that you’ve done,” board member Kay Wright Norman said. “I don’t know what we would do if we did not have such a creative, foward-thinking superintendent in the times that we’re in and that times we’re approaching.” Grissom thanked the board and her staff for their support. “We have a wonderful group,” she said. “This is for everybody, not just for me.”

BUDGET FROM 3a loughs or layoffs. However, under the proposed budget, each city employee would receive a onetime $300 bonus this year. And there will be noticeable cuts. For example, $12,000 is being cut from Kannapolis Parks and Recreation. Director Gary Mills said this will mean the elimination of Healthy Kids Day, a joint program with the Kannapolis YMCA, and an end to the city’s participation in other programs. Legg said cuts had been made to operating budgets across the board, some as high at 10 percent. These cuts are aimed at making Kannapolis able to deal with whatever happens to the economy in the years ahead. Just as Rowan County is going through tax revaluation this year, Cabarrus County’s property values will be reassessed in 2012. Estimates say that, countywide, property values could decrease by as much as $400 million with that new assessment. That would mean a property tax hike would be needed just to keep the same amount of money coming in. To prepare, the proposed budget includes the seed of a contingency fund — $193,545 that would ordinarily be put into the city’s fund balance, its savings. Instead, Legg said, that money will be budgeted specifically to deal with unforeseen problems such as increased fuel prices, landfill fees or other urgent needs. As with any funds, the council would have to vote to spend that money. Councilman Ken Geathers asked how making that fund was different from just putting the money in the fund balance. The main difference, Legg said, is that it calls attention to those funds to have them in the main budget, instead of lumped in with other savings. And, Legg said, at the end of the year, those monies could form the basis of an ongoing contingency or project fund. Councilman Tom Kincaid said the budget was a good plan for the city. “It also says a lot for how the city, in recent months, has controlled its spending, to be in the shape we’re in right now,” Kincaid said.
11 — More at Four teachers 2 — Physical education teachers, one from Kannapolis Middle and Kannapolis Intermediate 2 — Exceptional children's teachers, one from Fred L. Wilcuts, she has taken a look at “every job in every area” of the district and relied on the district’s reduction in force policy. The policy cites things such as performance ratings, program enrollment and length of service as factors to be considered in reduction of force.
Kannapolis budget highlights: • The proposed 2011-12 budget for Kannapolis leaves property tax rates unchanged: 49 cents per $100 of property value. However, a new $3.20 per month curbside recycling fee and a $1.35 per month increase in the base (flat) water rate are included in the proposed budget. • Under the proposal, Kannapolis may begin to collect its own taxes this coming year instead of contracting with Rowan and Cabarrus counties to do so. However, City Manager Mike Legg told members of the Kannapolis City Council that negotiations with Cabarrus County on a cost-saving plan remain under way. The city may continue to use county tax collection services if such a deal is approved. • Legg said this year’s budget eliminates the use of non-recurring funding sources. In past years, the city has used money from the sale of land, or other such one-time income, to balance the budget. • A public hearing will be held Monday, June 20, at 6 p.m. during the regular Kannapolis City Council meeting to give citizens a chance to speak on the budget.
But the current budget, Legg warned, doesn’t address needs the city will have in coming years. Among those needs: a new station and equipment for the Kannapolis Police Dept., and the best way to make use of the newly-acquired Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium. Those expenditures will have to wait for better economic times, and in the case of the public safety spending, perhaps a voter referendum, Legg told council members. Questions regarding the budget proposal, at first glance, were few. Members voted 6-to-0 to hold a public hearing on the proposed budget at the next session, on Monday, June 13. Mayor Bob Misenheimer was not present; he remained hospitalized for symptoms related to high blood pressure. A final vote on the budget is slated for June 27, just days before the fiscal year begins.

“We did anticipate that cut, so it’s built into what we've already done,” she said. Officials with the school system say if state budget allocations come in higher than projected they could be keeping some of the personnel set to lose their jobs at the end of this school year. Cain has described the district’s reduction in force plan as a “worst-case scenario” snapshot. “We’ve been told to plan for the worst and hope for the best and that’s what we’re doing,” she said. “We hope our final budget will be better than expected and that we can keep our people in place.”

Opportunities include academically and intellectually gifted camps, camps at Horizons, and remediation programs at several of the high schools and an exceptional children’s camp.
The Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education also: • Approved a bid of $170,183 by Advantage Sports Surfaces of Charlotte to replace the track at East Rowan High School. Gene Miller, assistant superintendent for operations, said the track has been patched numerous times since 1997 and has become a safety hazard. The work is expected to be completed by the start of school this fall.
Boyd said 118 people were originally affected by the reduction plan, but that number has dwindled to 109 due to retirements and resignations.

merit-based pay is not necessarily a bad idea, but it has to be done correctly,” Trexler said. Trexler said though many GOP leaders say the penny sales tax, set to expire in June, is a mute point, educators are still fighting to keep it from sunsetting. “It’s not a dead issue because the budget process is not over yet, there is still hope for us that it could be one of the solutions,” she said.

Railroad. Halifax’s history is steeped in the Revolutionary War period. But the Underground Railroad, which had a stop on the Roanoke River in Halifax, was used by enslaved people in the years before the Civil War to escape to freedom in the North. The state has created a sesquicentennial website that includes a comprehensive list of events and commemorations throughout the four years. The web address is www.nccivilwar150.com. Many events have a kids’ component. From June through August, Fort Fisher in Kure Beach will offer daily tours led by costumed interpreters. All 37 state museums and historic sites will hold 2nd Saturdays programs this summer, when a variety of artists, musicians and re-enactors will entertain visitors. The dates are June 11, July 9 and Aug. 13. From Aug. 22 to 28, a number of firsts will be marked during Flags Over Hatteras. The event will feature the first North Carolina BlueGray Descendants Reunion of the 21st century at the Hatteras Village
and you’re likely to find it in a vacation town. Two editions will follow eastern and western routes across the state. The east route began April 1 at the Cumberland County Public Library in Fayetteville; the west route started in the Ashe County library in West Jefferson. Stops this year include the Smithfield/Johnston Public Library and the Rowan County library in Salisbury, both in June; the Forsyth County Public Library in August; the New Hanover County Public Library in Wilmington in October; and the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum in Hatteras in December. The state is hosting three major conferences during the sesquicentennial commemoration. The first was held in Raleigh on Friday, the 150th anniversary of the state’s vote to secede from the Union. The second, in Winston-Salem in May 2013, is meant to coincide with the anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, which granted freedom to enslaved people in the majority of the South. The final conference, in Wilmington in May 2015, revolves around the fall of Fort Fisher in coastal North Carolina, Gen. William Sherman’s march across the South and the close of the war.

GIFTS FROM ANGELS Girl who was hospitalized for a brain tumor collects games for other sick children
joanie morris/foR the sALisbuRY post
Angel thompson sits with some of the games she has collected. While in the hospital for brain tumor surgery, she enjoyed playing games and she wanted to help provide games for other sick children. B Y J OANIE M ORRIS For the Salisbury Post
ROCKWELL — When Myra and Alan Thompson had their little girl six years ago, she looked so angelic and sweet and perfect. Just like an angel. It seemed fitting that they named her Angel. Now, six years later, and a year after she was diagnosed with a Juvenile Pilocystic Astrocytoma brain tumor, Angel is living up to her name. The tumor is a rare childhood brain tumor, usually benign, and slow-growing. Angel was diagnosed after teachers and administrators at her school, Grace Academy in Rockwell, noticed that the soft-spoken, shy girl was becoming increasingly clumsy, was having vision troubles and had changed behavior. One Monday in March 2010, school administrator Sandy Phillips called Myra and told her Angel was not herself and Myra needed to take her to the doctor. “We started noticing different things with her coordination and her eyes,” said Phillips. “We knew something was different.” Myra, who works at Carolinas Medical Center-NorthEast, knew something was wrong and rushed Angel to the emergency room at the Concord hospital. Doctors there did a CT scan and found the tumor. “She was in the hospital for one month,” said Myra. During that time, surgery was performed — even though she will never be completely without the tumor since it is wrapped around her brain stem. Angel went through a series of treatments, including rehabilitation at Levine Children’s Hospital because she had to learn to walk again after surgery. On the rehabilitation floor, Angel and her family spent days playing games — card, board and skill. Games were even a part of her rehab, and her favorite was Hi-Ho! Cherry-O. When she got out of the hospital, Angel kept telling her mom she wanted to do something for the other kids at the Levine Children’s Hospital. Myra kept putting it off, and Angel kept pushing. Since May is National Brain Tu-
Girl Scouts presented with Gold Award Fifty-nine young women, members of Girl Scouts, Hornets’ Nest Council, were honored as recipients of the Girl Scout Gold Award on Sunday, May 15, at a reception held at
mor Awareness Month, Myra and Angel decided that it was time to do something. “We played a lot of games (at the hospital),” said Myra. “That’s what inspired her. “The kindergarten teachers even came to play games with her,” Myra added. Angel decided she wanted to collect games to take to the Levine Children’s Hospital. The game drive kicked off this month at Grace Academy, but they will take games at any time. Collected games have to be new for the hospital and the little Kannapolis girl hopes that enough games are collected that when children go into the hospital, they can get a game to take home, instead of having to give the games back like she did. The project, called Gift from Angels, is like therapy for the children, as well as mind-occupying. Children at Grace Academy collected 180 games — 80 more games than the original goal — for the hospital. The games were delivered May 19 by Myra during one of Angel’s regular check-ups. “Angel came up with the name because everybody that gives a game is an angel,” said Myra. Doctors have said the tumors are starting to come back, but they are unable to do radiation to remove the tumor because of Angel’s age. And since the tumor is wrapped around her brain stem, they are unable to remove it with surgery without significant risk to Angel. “We just pray,” said Myra. If the tumor comes back, they will do chemotherapy, or maybe another surgery to remove parts of it. Until then, Angel sees an oncologist every month, has MRIs every three months, sees a neurosurgeon every three months, visits the eye doctor every eight weeks and has one occupational therapy, one horse therapy and two physical therapies every week. “It’s amazing how Angel keeps up with her work,” said Phillips. “She has her off days. It’s amazing the progress she’s made. … Because we are a private school and have smaller classes, we’re able to keep her monitored.”

“I know she’s in good hands here,” added Myra. The blonde, curly-haired girl with one blue eye covered with an eye patch and a distinctive tilt to her head spoke briefly on her project. “I did it because I did have the directions or the pieces” for all the games, she whispered. “Now, (sick children get) to keep them at their house.” Games are being accepted at

The difference between a gardener and a cheapskate gardener? The amount of money spent to achieve the same results. The truth is that gardening is actually more productive when the cheapest — even free — materials are used in the pursuit. • Control weeds with newspaper. It is cheap and works beautifully. Cover the area with 10 layers of newspaper, and then spread mulch or compost over the top. Plant whatever you like by poking a hole in the paper for the seed or plant. • Homemade weedkiller. Dissolve 2 cups of salt in 1 gallon of white vinegar, MARY and add 1 tableHUNT spoon of liquid dish soap. Apply it with a spray bottle. Caution: Repeated use will sterilize the soil such that eventually nothing will grow. Ideal for driveways, paths and walkways. • Keep cats out Pepper. Sprinkle the garden with ground black pepper or red pepper flakes. Purchase it in bulk at a warehouse club, and apply it liberally to the affected area. Plant flowers. Marigolds have a pungent odor that repels cats, bugs and other animals. Plant them in your vegetable and flower gardens. • Feed lawn When mowing, leave grass clippings on the lawn. The clippings decompose quickly, adding nutrients to the soil. Homemade lawn food. Mix the following in a large container: 1 cup each of Epsom salts, antiseptic mouthwash, liquid dish soap and ammonia and 1 can of beer. Fill a 20-gallon hose-end sprayer jar, and attach it to the hose. Give your lawn a generous dose. • Build soil Fireplace ashes. Spread wood ash from your winter fires onto the garden beds. Also known as potash, it gradually will build the soil — adding potassium, as well as 32 trace minerals. • Make your own compost. It’s easy to make your own rich compost out of stuff you usually throw away. Cut all items into small pieces before putting them in the pile. Use: leaves, grass clippings, plant debris, vegetable peelings, eggshells, coffee grounds, used tea leaves, newspapers, soil and manure. Do not use: diseased plants, pest-infested plants, poisonous plants, weeds that have gone to seed, meat products, oils and oily products, or fats and fatty products. Compost bin. To make a compost bin, all you need are four wooden pallets (free or a dollar or so from stores or warehouses). Stand the pallets on their sides, and wire them together into a square. When you need to remove compost, open one side like a door. • Control pests Snails and slugs. Sink aluminum pie pans or other shallow dishes into the soil so the rims are flush with the ground. Fill them with beer. Snails and slugs will drink themselves to death. Simply dispose of the snail pie in the morning. Replace and replenish as necessary. Nontoxic pesticide. Mix 2 teaspoons of liquid dish soap with 2 quarts of water. Fill a spray bottle, and spray everything in the garden. This is harmless to vegetation and kills whiteflies, aphids and a variety of other harmful insects. Bug spray. Mix 2 tablespoons of flea and tick powder, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and 1 gallon of water. Spray it on plants to repel harmful bugs.

Adults stuck on childhood favoritism
Dilbert embraces deep personalization PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The office life depicted in Dilbert often preys on real-life attitudes and fears. Now, readers of the character can swap places with the eternally befuddled office drone and his not-so-sharp cubicle dwellers. Peanuts Worldwide, the marketing agent for Dilbert, says readers can now personalize up to 25 separate Dilbert comic strips with their own images and share them online with others. Created by Scott Adams, Dilbert is carried by more than 2,000 publications worldwide, printed collections and was even an animated series. Using technology created by PixFusion, readers can upload a photo to www.pixfusion.com, select an animated strip and personalize it with their own image, becoming Boss, Wally, Alice or Carol. The strips, based on Dilbert animations originally created by Ring Tales LLC, can be shared via Facebook and other social networking sites and cost 99 cents per strip. Rich Collins, CEO of Big Tent Entertainment, which represents PixFusion, said making Dilbert a focal point for personalization was common sense, given the longevity of the character and its reference to business experiences that are not only amusing but infuriating. “At one time or another nearly everyone in today’s workplace, no matter where they are in the world, has seen a Dilbert comic strip and immediately related to it from their own personal experience,” Collins said. “Chances are you probably know someone like Dilbert or have had a crazy boss, so it seemed only natural to enable fans to personalize their favorite comic strips and put themselves into one of the many hilarious Dilbert scenarios that they often recognize from their own workday experiences,” he said.
Dear Amy: I have a perfect response for anyone who doesn’t want to listen to gossip. It was used on me many years ago by one of my friends when I found myself gossiping about another acquaintance. She said to me with a smile in a very nice tone, “You know, she speaks very highly of you.” Needless to say, that stopped me in my tracks and made me realize what I was doing. — Bonnie

Dear Amy: I’m 24 years old and was with my boyfriend for eight years. He recently ended the relationship. He says that he wants his space to work on himself and does not want to have to worry about someone else right now. Our relationship was never perfect, but we stayed together because we loved each other. He says he does not want to get back together but would like to remain friends. He knows that this is not what I want. He has now suggested that it would be best if we did not contact each other for a little while. I feel I am in a deep hole — everything reminds me of him, I can cry at the drop of a hat and am really down. Sometimes he says things like, “If we ever did get back together...” which gives me hope, but it may be false hope. My friends and family think I should concentrate on myself right now. Is there any hope for us? If not, what can I do to get over him? — Hoping

But the next time you launch a zinger at me or the kids, we’ll be leaving. Understand?

Dear Amy: During childhood, my husband’s parents blatantly favored him at the expense of his siblings. For the 25 years we have been married, he, I, and our two children have been the target of his brother’s resentment, acted out at their family’s freASK quent gatherAMY ings. While I tolerated snide remarks and subtle insults toward my husband and me for many years (for the sake of supposed family harmony), my tolerance disappeared when the commentary began being directed at my children. My husband recognizes and acknowledges his brother’s negative behavior, but won’t stand up for himself or any of us. I think he feels guilty. This brother (and now his children) has become more aggressive and insulting over time, and I wait in dread during every family get-together for the inevitable zinger. My stated policy is that my husband is welcome to spend time with his family alone, but I always feel bad that my feelings and my daughter’s aren’t important enough for him to defend. We’ve spoken to his parents about it, but since they are the culprits behind all of this they aren’t inclined to fix it now. Any advice as to how to handle this going forward? I’m so tired of this. — Frustrated

ELECTRONICS RECYCLER
Generating jobs in Badin onday’s announcement that an electronics recycler will open shop in a former smelting plant in Badin is a shot of encouraging news for the town, for Stanly County and the region. Any time you’re announcing new jobs these days, it’s cause for fireworks and confetti, and the Electronic Recyclers International project could mean 200 jobs for Badin. It also represents new investment in the community by ERI as well as Alcoa, which each will ante up $5 million toward improving the former plant site that shut down in 2007. Alcoa had previously committed more than $7 million in contracts to redevelop the former Badin Works site. While 200 jobs doesn’t replace the 1,000 jobs Badin works supported a half century ago (or the 3,000 before that), this promises to be a significant step in repurposing the Alcoa property and providing more economic diversity for Stanly County. As officials noted, recycling discarded electronic components is a growth industry. Given the world’s apparently insatiable appetitite for new kinds of communication and computing devices, that growth isn’t likely to slow anytime soon. In addition to bringing jobs, electronic recycling helps keep potentially toxic items out of landfills, while facilitating more sustainable manufacturing practices. For Alcoa, which has been locked in a bitter battle with the state over relicensing of its Yadkin hydroelectric dams, the ERI initiative helps counter arguments that the shutdown of the Badin smelting operation and resulting loss of jobs greatly diminished its value as a corporate citizen. While ERI is just one new business, Alcoa officials previously said they were talking with several potential partners representing different business sectors. This could be a catalyst for other companies to follow. With state officials focused on frontburner issues like the budget, the Alcoa relicensing saga has dropped out of the public eye, temporarily at least. Both the company and advocates for recapturing the federal hydroelectric license advocates have expended a lot of time and energy waging a public relations battle. While that battle will continue, if loss of the Badin works jobs is a critical part of the argument for recapturing the license and control of the dams, then Alcoa’s ability to help replace those jobs is a strong argument in its favor. The relicensing debate covers other issues, of course, including environmental cleanup and the waters of the Yadkin River as a publicly held resource. Rather than fighting over control of the dams, however, we’d much rather see the state and Alcoa working together to bring in new private industries that can help revitalize the economy in Badin and beyond.

itch Daniels announcement that he would not seek the Republican nomination for president is unsurprising. Members of his inner circle here always have considered the Indiana governor’s presidential aspirations a long shot despite the almost frantic efforts of mainline Republicans to convince him otherwise. In the end it became clear that he did not have the fire in the belly that it takes to run and like Colin Powell a few years back, he apparently let his wife make the decision for him. “I love my DANIELS country but I love my family more,” he said in a midnight announcement to the Indianapolis Star that left stunned GOP officials facing a powerful but some think vulnerable incumbent without a candidate who is as qualified or as credible for a campaign that is most likely to center on fiscal solvency. No one in the current field has Daniels’ knowledge of the inner workings of the White House where he toiled during two administrations, the last as budget director. What the slight, serious Daniels gave up in charisma he made up for in the ability to reach out to disparate groups of voters. Even then most experts agreed it would be difficult for him to unseat President Barack Obama who is already running full out for re-election and riding high in the wake of Osama bin Laden’s death. But many also agreed that Daniel’s record of financial success in Indiana during two terms of economic hard times coupled with governmental and business experience gave the divided party a solid chance for the unification needed to recapture the White House. The jubilation resounding from Obama’s political team could be heard all the way from Pennsylvania Avenue to this city's famous monument circle. Why not? The president and his men now face a cast of prospective opponents as un-daunting as any in recent memory. The fact that for a few minutes the likes of Donald Trump, before he announced he wouldn’t run, could even register in the polls tells one a lot about the shape of things in the Grand Old Party.

Medical liability reforms are fair and much needed
EDITOR Letters policy
Regarding Senate Bill 33 and medical liability reforms: Much debate has taken place over medical liability reform legislation in the North Carolina General Assembly. As a physician, I am grateful for the support of Rep. Fred Steen (RRowan) who understands the need for reform to ensure access to health care for all North Carolinians. I support Senate Bill 33 because it will help to reduce the need for defensive medicine, lower health care costs and expand patients’ access to health care, especially in underserved rural areas, small towns and poor urban centers. Under our current tort system, physicians and other health care providers feel compelled to practice defensive medicine, which drives up the cost of health care and affects taxpayers and patients alike. Having practiced medicine for more than 30 years, I know that patients can be hurt by mistakes. We are all human, and when honest mistakes happen, patients should be compensated fairly. Senate Bill 33 ensures that injured patients be paid every penny of their present and future medical expenses, as well as all losses of future income and the value of future work. It also would provide up to $500,000 in “noneconomic damages” for subjective, unquantifiable harms such as pain and suffering. The amount would be subject to periodic adjustment for inflation. Such caps have been adopted in more than half of the states, many at the lower threshold of $250,000. By enacting strong, sensible liability reform, we can help to control health care costs and assure patients they will have access to the care they need. Without such reform, we face uncertainty and the likelihood of changes that could impede access to care and cloud the future of medicine in North Carolina. — John B. Kribbs, MD Salisbury

The rosary isn’t ‘jewelry’ The issues I am focusing on are the Rosary and the Roman Catholic church. I am a part of the Catholic community. The big thing I am bothered by is that kids everywhere are starting to wear the rosary as a necklace. Kids do not know what the rosary is really used for. Catholics use the rosary to pray and worship God, not to have “swagger.” If there were more Catholic churches in Rowan County, people could learn more about the rosary and what it is really used for. Every bead on the rosary represents a prayer. For each of the smaller beads, a Hail Mary is said. Each decade of the rosary has 10 of these beads. Each larger bead between each decade is an Our Father. The three at the end before the crucifix are Hail Mary’s and the larger one is a Glory Be. People do not understand much about the Catholic religion, just as I do not know anything about Southern Baptists. You are not supposed to wear the rosary, but if you do wear it, you can at least know what it means and what each bead stands for. When people wear the rosary, it really offends me. In my opinion, the rosary is a Catholic symbol and should be used for prayer, not as jewelry. I hardly know anyone that knows anything about Catholicism other than Catholics. Therefore, I think that if people knew more about the rosary, it would help spread better understanding of Catholicism around Rowan County, the United States and the world. — Mackie Gallagher Salisbury
In Senate, an eye-for-an-eye filibuster f there’s one place where what goes around comes around, it’s the U.S. Senate. Goodwin Liu, the Berkeley law professor nominated by President Obama to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, is the latest to learn that lesson. Liu’s nomination was blocked recently by a Republican filibuster — the first successful filibuster against a judicial nominee since Democrats stopped all 10 of George W. Bush’s appeals court nominees from 2003 to 2005. Although no one back then could have predicted that today’s fight would be about Liu, everyone knew it was going to happen BYRON sometime. Once Democrats crossed the line to filYORK ibuster those Bush nominees, you could bet Republicans would strike back. And now they have. Liu was as good a target as any for the GOP. A legal scholar who has never been a judge and has little experience practicing law, Liu occupies a place on the far left side of the legal spectrum. To take just one example, Republicans are fond of repeating Liu’s assertion that the Constitution guarantees the right to “expanded health insurance, child care, transportation subsidies, job training, and a robust earned income tax credit.” “I must have missed that,” Republican Sen. John Cornyn, a former Texas state supreme court justice, said dryly in floor remarks just before the filibuster vote. It wasn’t just Liu’s legal positions that did him in. Republicans were particularly rankled by the professor’s testimony during the 2006 confirmation hearings of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. Appearing to model his remarks on Ted
I
Kennedy’s infamous 1987 “Robert Bork’s America” speech, Liu said Samuel Alito’s America would be one in which cops kill young suspects over minor crimes, allwhite juries send black men to their deaths, and federal agents terrorize innocent civilians. After his own nomination, when he had gotten a taste of criticism himself, Liu apologized, saying his language had been “unduly harsh.” But the damage was done. In debate before the filibuster vote, some Republicans went out of their way to say it wasn’t personal. “Goodwin Liu is a stellar individual, no question about it,” said GOP Sen. Tom Coburn, who also called Liu a “stellar scholar,” a “genuine great American,” and a “great human being.” But Coburn still concluded, “That does not qualify him to be on LIU the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.” Of course, a few years ago, Coburn and other Republicans were decrying the Democrats’ unprecedented use of the filibuster against judicial nominees. In the Bush years, minority Democrats stopped well-qualified nominees like Miguel Estrada and Priscilla Owen for purely political reasons — to keep conservative judges off the courts and deny Bush possible future Supreme Court candidates. Democrats accused Estrada, Owen and others of being “divisive” and “controversial.” There was a revealing moment in 2005, as the filibuster fight was nearing its climax, when mild-mannered Republican Sen. Robert Bennett asked Sen. Harry Reid, who was then the minority leader, “if any number of hours of de-
bate would be sufficient” to move the Owen nomination forward. Reid’s answer was quick and sharp. “There is not a number in the universe that would be sufficient,” he said. The message was clear. Democrats would kill all the nominees they wanted. Period. Finally, Republicans threatened to use their majority to put an end to judicial filibusters altogether — the so-call “nuclear option.” A bipartisan group of senators, known as the Gang of 14, convened to seek a compromise. In the agreement that followed, the “nuclear option” was shelved and Democrats caved on most — but not all — of the filibusters. In addition, senators pledged not to filibuster future judicial nominees unless there were “extraordinary circumstances.” It was left up to each senator to define “extraordinary circumstances.” So now Republicans, who have allowed many liberal Obama nominees to proceed to Senate confirmation, say Liu is an “extraordinary circumstance.” Democrats protested — they appear to be suffering from total amnesia about what they did just a few years ago — but in the end fell far short of the 60 votes needed to stop the GOP filibuster. By the way, Obama has little standing to criticize the Liu filibuster, As a senator, Obama tried unsuccessfully to filibuster the Alito nomination. Now Republicans have taken up the judicial filibuster, although they’ve done just one to the Democrats’ 10. But there might be more in the future. When it comes to judicial confirmation fights, the rule in the Senate is always an eye for an eye. • • • Byron York is chief political correspondent for the Washington Examiner.

Seniors celebrate Older Americans Month
METH FROM 1a as we go along,” he said, and the funding will have to be taken out of leftover funding for the sheriff’s office, the county’s fund balance or contingency funds. This year, the county has found four methamphetamine labs — the total number of labs found in 2010. Hopefully the county will not have to scramble to find the funds, Auten said, and he has been told that cleanup funding will be back in place within the next 60 days. But he’s not holding his breath. “We haven’t seen anything on paper telling us that this is what we’re going to do,” he said. “We don’t know what’s going to happen, but it’s going to be coordinated by the SBI through the DEA. “We’re in limbo.”
Cleanup and chemistry The cleanup cost is far less than the toll that methamphetamine labs have on the environment, and the health effects of the manufacturers and users. Jim Beard, a chemistry professor at Catawba College, said that one methamphetamine lab improperly disposed of, or even chemicals from one being dumped outdoors would probably not be significant, but “it’s the cumulative effects of these things.” “These people are into making the product, so what happens to the solvents they use is not high on their priority list,” Beard said. “A lot of organic toxins are in and of themselves toxic. Inhaling all of these things are bad for your health. But there are all kinds of various health effects of inhaling these solvents.” Beard said he’s never actually looked at the chemistry of making methamphetamine, but he knows the dangers to the health of one who cooks it or uses it. Here are a few ingredients commonly used to make methamphetamine: • Ether, ethanol, paint thinner, acetone, chloroform, drain cleaner, battery acid, cold tablets, Freon and gasoline. One-pot labs are becoming the most popular method of cooking methamphetamine, and they are the only style of lab the sheriff’s office has found this year. One-pots are usually cooked in a two-liter or three-liter bottle, and they are dangerous as the bottle builds up pressure and could explode. “We’re 100 percent one-pot now,” Moose said. Years ago, when Moose and Auten worked drugs together, they mostly ran across a method known as a Nazi lab, because it is similar to those made by the Nazis during World War Two. The method uses anhydrous ammonia in place an acid, releasing a poisonous gas as its prepared. Auten and Moose say safety precautions for investigators have changed since Rowan County found its first
the most labs since 2001 — 160 — and three so far this year. Harnett county has seen a total of eight labs this year, and 121 since 2001. Watauga County has already seen 12 labs this year, and Wayne County has 13. Burke County has seen the most labs this year, 18, the highest number of labs in the past 10 years for the county. Other interesting statistics from the Drug Enforcement Administration and N.C. SBI: • Tennessee, Kentucky and
Missouri continue to lead the nation in methamphetamine labs; Tennessee had 1,199 in 2010, Kentucky, 1,049, and Missouri, 1,917. • Hawaii, Connecticut, New Jersey and Rhode Island had no labs in 2010. • Clay County was meth-lab free for the past 10 years, but two have been found so far this year. • Chowan, Edgecombe, Bertie, Camden, Moore, Orange Perquimans, Scotland, Warren and Tyrell counties haven’t seen a lab in the past 10 years.
lab in 2000. “Pretty much before, you just went in,” Auten said. “The first one we were in was a rich solvent environment,” Moose said, which may have something to do with Auten’s cough that won’t go away. “I’ve got one that just never goes away,” Auten said. “But we don’t know. It’s just one of those things.” Moose said that in the ’90s, many officers investigating methamphetamine labs died from various health complications. Now, officers must wear a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), Tyvex suits and protective booties and gloves. If deputies come across an a lab that’s “actively cooking,” Moose said, a special team is called in from the SBI. A chemist is always called in, along with other SBI investigators, and then the hazardous-materials team comes from Spartanburg, S.C. The average time the sheriff’s office spends on the entire process of investigating and dismantling a meth lab is be-

Zion Church in Cleveland is open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily, and welcomes participation of
tween 18 and 24 hours. Neighbors are always notified, and the SBI will post documents on the home, vehicle, or anywhere the lab is found, proclaiming it a hazardous environment. The property will be roped off with crime scene tape. “Before they can inhabit the structure again, or even a car, (the owner) has to have it assessed through the health department and deemed safe,” Moose said. Auten and Moose said Rowan’s first methamphetamine lab bust was in 2000, but the drug has been around since the 1960s and its use is on the rise. “We’re getting a lot more information than we used to,” Moose said. “I think it’s on the rise again, primarily because the one-pot method is easier now. “But gathering chemicals is harder because the law is harder for them to get their primary ingredient. They must sign and write down their ID number. Now we can track it back to the pseudoephedrines that were bought, and arrest more.”

RALEIGH (AP) — About a third of the deaths on North Carolina roadways involve victims who weren’t wearing seatbelts, a figure the state is aiming to reduce. State Department of Transportation Secretary Gene Conti says state and local police will step up enforcement of seatbelt laws until June 5. Last year, 425 of the 1,327 traffic fatalities in North Carolina were people who weren’t buckled up.

Fighting weeds in farm fields is ongoing battle T
Black bears on food hunt are showing up in NC, SC RALEIGH (AP) — Wildlife officials say black bears seen in the Carolinas recently are likely just looking for food or a home and they will eventually return to the mountains if they can’t find food easily. A bear was killed Monday by a car in Oconee County, S.C., and another one was spotted on the third hole of the University of North Carolina’s Finley Golf Course in Chapel Hill. Last week, there were several sightings reported in both Carolinas, including one animal killed by a car near Charlotte. Earlier this month, bear sightings disrupted schools in Greenville County on two consecutive days, In one case, students were sent home early, and in the other, the children were kept inside. South Carolina Natural Resources Department bear biologist Richard Morton said bears’ natural food sources haven’t yet matured and the animals, fresh from hibernation, are hungry. Officials recommend removing outdoor food sources, such as bird feeders and pet food, to avoid attracting bears. North Carolina biologist Greg Batts said recent sightings in and around Raleigh may have been a single juvenile bear looking for a new home. Young bears are frequently driven from their mothers by potential mates during breeding season, which lasts through August. “These cubs are like teenagers out on their own,” Morton said.
and pre-emergent herbicides. Overall, it is our ultimate goal to not have such resilient weeds in our fields. Over the past few years, researchers have developed the PAMS approach to dealing with not only resistant weeds but for any pest in general. PAMS stands for Prevention, Avoidance, Monitoring and Suppression. Prevention tells us to take steps such as cleaning farm equipment when traveling from field to field. Avoidance can be practiced when the pest is present but the impact is low. Avoidance is crop rotation, choosing cultivars with genetic resistances, using trap crops or pheromone traps. Monitoring is one of the most important steps to follow. It is vital to know what pest you are dealing with. Take the time to walk troubled fields or areas where you know pests can occur. Keep records or create pest maps. This will help in producing a plan of action or crop selection for the future. Finally, if the previous steps are not successful, cultural practices should be used such as no-till, stripe till or the use of narrow or wide rows. Chemical controls are important in this stage as well. Identify the correct pest and always follow application instructions located on the label before apply a chemical suppression.

here is no doubt that Roundup resistant weeds have become an issue for some of Rowan County farmers. If not an issue now, it will be soon enough. Many farmers that I have met in the past months have asked me one question. “How can I kill it?” First, do SCOTT not be afraid TILLEY to walk out in the field and spend a few hours pulling the plant up by hand. Though time consuming and labor intensive, it is a sure way to free your fields of the weed and thus reducing the amount of plants that may return next year. If a small amount of resistant weeds have been spotted, hand pulling the weed is your best option. However, I understand this is not the answer farmers want to hear. Therefore, my second answer is to use a chemical with a different mode of action (MOA). What is a MOA? MOA describes the direction or path by which the chemical will attack the plant at the cellular level. Glyphosate (a glycine herbicide) when applied inhibits the plants ability to form chemical compounds derived of amino acids which are crucial to a plant’s growing ability. Plants in North Carolina such as horseweed or Palmer amaranth have naturally evolved to resist the affect of glyphosate. It is recommended that farmers who are faced with resistant weeds use a tank mix. It is crucial to use two different chemicals with two different MOAs, with which the plants naturally growing process can be disrupted at different cellular processes. Consider the MOA of each herbicide used when mixing your tank and always follow label recommendations. Furthermore, take into account that pre-plant and pre-emergent herbicides are the most effective herbicides against resistance weeds. If a weed is allowed to grow 6 inches or taller, the effectiveness of the herbicides used will decrease dramatically. Apply pre-plant

Noah fined for slur BY TIM REYNOLDS Associated Press
MIAMI — Chicago Bulls c e n t e r J o a k i m Noah was f i n e d $50,000 on Monday for directing an anti-gay slur at a fan d u r i n g NOAH Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals, and vowed to learn from the incident. The NBA released its decision hours after speaking with Noah, saying the fine was “for using a derogatory and offensive term from the bench.” The fine is only half of what Los Angeles Lakers’ star Kobe Bryant was assessed for shouting the same slur toward a referee last month, and the league said the discrepancy was because the sanction against Bryant was based on both what he said — and who he said it to. “Kobe’s fine included discipline for verbal abuse of a game official,” NBA spokesman Mark Broussard said. Noah and NBA officials met Monday morning. Noah said he emerged from that talk prepared to “pay the price” for what happened when he returned to the bench with two fouls midway through the first quarter of Sunday night’s game against the Miami Heat. That price turned out to be 1.6 percent of his roughly $3.1 million salary this season. Noah agreed to an extension last year, worth about $60 million through the 201516 season. Meanwhile, two major advocacy groups quickly called upon the league to both sanction Noah and help further educate players on the topic. “The fan said something that was disrespectful towards me,” Noah said, about five hours before the fine

Hornet swimmers move on McCollister stays close to home Drye looking forward to Liberty BY RYAN BISESI rbisesi@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — It all started with an accidental fall into the deep end of a neighbor’s backyard pool for four-year-old Andrew McCollister. 14 years later, he’s still in pretty deep with swimming. From a sixdays-a-week practice session at the Salisbury YMCA with the Rowan Aquatic Club to his recent signing with Catawba to swim collegiately, McCollister has made waves throughout the county. “I always loved the water, but I was afraid of the deep end for about a year or two,” McCollister said. That fear is far in the rearview mirror. Runner up finishes in the state championship meets and bringing home nine medals from
them have highlighted the lanky sixfooter’s career. He’s been All-County and All-Conference, team MVP and scholar athlete all four years at Salisbury. McCollister credits former Salisbury coach Matt Hall with helping him become more serious about the sport. “Matt helped me realize my potentinal in swimming,” McCollister said. Distance is McCollister’s ally during meets, while he conquers it himself. He’s better in the longer events, though he won the silver in the 100 breaststroke in the state championship in 2010. During his club career with the RAC, McCollister competed in national meets as far away as Maryland and Florida, placing

SALISBURY — Salisbury High School swimmer Carley Drye is signed, sealed and delivered to be a Flame at Liberty University. Drye chose Liberty over Furman and the College of Charleston mainly due to the environment and success of Liberty’s swim team. Drye helped lead the Hornets to a second place finish in the CCC and was champion of the 100m freestyle. “Before this year, I never thought that I could have gone to school for swimming, just academics, but my hard work and help from my club team coach, Ben Humphrey, really got me where I am,” Drye said. Drye definitely will challenge herself as a college freshman, not only in the pool, but Carley is also major-
ing in pre-med. Drye’s father, John, played football at Furman and Carley indicated that she favored Furman until it dropped its swim team. “Really, it came down to when my parents and I visited the campus at Liberty and talked to the coach. That’s when I knew where I wanted to go for sure,” Drye said. “I’m not too big of a partier and Liberty’s atmosphere caters to that and I love the moral standards that students are held to there.” If practice makes perfect, then Drye is an absolute testament of it, as she has been swimming since age 3 with her grandfather and her father at the South Rowan YMCA and has competed in club swimming since age 6. Carley also comes from a history of

Mavs shock Thunder in overtime BY JEFF LATZKE Associated Press

dirk Nowitzki celebrates the Mavericks’ improbable win.
OKLAHOMA CITY — Dirk Nowitzki Mavericks112 scored 40 Thunder 105 points, Jason Kidd hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 40 seconds left in overtime and the Dallas Mavericks overcame a 15-point deficit in the final 5 minutes of regulation to stun the Oklahoma City Thunder 112-105 on Monday night and take a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference finals. Dallas didn’t lead until Now-
itzki hit two free throws 16 seconds into overtime, needing to rally from a 99-84 deficit in the final 5 minutes of regulation. The Mavericks never let the Thunder — who were one win shy of tying an NBA record with eight OT wins in the regular season — go ahead in the extra period. Kevin Durant missed a 3pointer on Oklahoma City’s opening possession of overtime then didn’t get another shot until he missed a 3 off the front rim in the final 10 seconds with the Thunder down by five.
Durant finished with 29 points and 15 rebounds, and Serge Ibaka had 18 points and 10 boards for Oklahoma City. Russell Westbrook added 19 points, eight rebounds and eight assists. Game 5 is Wednesday night in Dallas. Only two teams have come back from 3-1 deficits in NBA history without the benefit of home-court advantage in Game 7 — Houston in the 1995 West semifinals and Boston in the 1968 East finals. Durant had nine of the Thunder’s 26 turnovers, in-
cluding the one that led to Kidd’s big shot. Kidd stripped him as he went up for a shot with just over a minute left in overtime, then took a pass from Nowitzki, pump-faked to get Westbrook in the air and stepped up and drilled a 3-pointer to put Dallas up 108-105 with 40.3 seconds left. Westbrook missed on a drive on Oklahoma City’s next possession, and Jason Terry hit two free throws with 13 seconds left to give the Mavs a

East travels to NWC tonight From staff reports
East Rowan’s softball team plays at Northwest Cabarrus tonight in the third round of the 3A softball playoffs. Gametime was backed up in a decision made on Monday from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. NPC No. 1 seed East (22-2) beat NPC seed No. 1 seed Northwest 4-0 on April 9 in a nonconference game. Bobbi Thomas and Sydney Poole drove in two runs each. Chelsea White struck out five, walked none and held the Trojans (22-5) to three hits. East also beat Northwest 6-2 in the first round of the 2010 playoffs. Ericka Nesbitt had an inside-the-park homer for the Mustangs in that game. East is 84-12 the past four seasons, with four NPC championships and one trip to the Final Four. If East wins tonight, it would be the host team for a fourth-round game against North Iredell or Robinson. North Iredell and Robinson are the No. 2 seeds from the NPC and SPC, respectively. Northwest won its first league championship in the fast-pitch era this season, tying Robinson for the regular season SPC crown before winning the conference tournament. Northwest was in the SPC when Central Cabarrus was a state powerhouse early in the last decade. After realignment, the Trojans were in the NPC when West Rowan was reeling off six straight league titles from 2002-07. Northwest’s last two years in the NPC in 2008-09 coincided with the start of East’s current run of four straight championships. Northwest is a team of freshmen — six are on the roster — plus some slugging seniors. Freshman Katie Williford pitched well for Northwest earlier this season against the Mustangs — no walks, five hits, five strikeouts. Senior Hannah Eudy is batting .369 with eight homers and 32 RBIs, while senior Taylor Allen is hitting .407 with 21 RBIs. Northwest has won its last 11 games. Williford has pitched shutouts in the last five. Neither East nor Northwest has allowed a run in the playoffs.
College baseball Southern Conference baseball coaches voted Appalachian State outfielder Preston Troutman (East Rowan) to the league’s All-Freshman team on Monday. Troutman hit .274 with five doubles, three triples and 15 RBIs in 44 regular-season games and is tied for the team lead with five outfield assists. He made 36 starts in left field after earning the spot in the starting lineup early in the campaign. The rookie from Rockwell was named SoCon Hitter of the Week after going 4-for-7 with two doubles and six RBIs against Western Carolina on May 8-9. The Southern Conference Tournament starts Wednesday, along with the ACC, SEC and A-10 tournaments.
Local golf Playing from the blue tees, Aaron Mothershead made an extraordinary hole-in-one on the 339-yard par-4 No. 8 hole at McCanless on Saturday. Mothershead recorded the double-eagle while playing with his father, Gene Mothershead, and with partner Joey Boley in a qualifying round for the Grady B. McCanless 4-Ball Championship. The 4-Ball Championship will be held June 4-5. Seventy-three GARS members played an ABCD tournament at Asheboro Country Club. Winning the ‘A’ flight was Nelson Earnhardt with a net of 65.94. Winning the ‘B’ flight winner was Ross Howard with a net of 67.24. Winning flight ‘C’ was David Lee with a net of 60.29. ‘D’ flight winner was Harry Agner with a net of 62.44. Michael Childress, 11, and Ben Childress, 7, played in the U.S. Junior Kids golf tournament in Pinehurst on Sunday. Both played on the No. 8 course. Michael finished fourth in his age group, shooting a 83. Ben won his age group with a 54, with a birdie on No. 1 and an eagle on No. 2.
Middle school soccer Erwin’s sixth-seeded girls beat No. 3 Southeast in the first round of the league tournament. Erwin topped No. 2 seed China Grove on a penalty-kicks shootout in a semifinal. Kaleigh Troutman scored both Erwin goals, with regulation ending in a 2-2 tie. Erwin had a 3-1 edge on PKs, with Ilya Wang, Devynne Brown and Madison Teeter scoring from the spot. Erwin keeper Kennedy Lambert saved one PK in regulation and three more in the shootout. Erwin continued its run in the championship game by beating West Rowan 1-0 in a hard-fought final on the turf at Mooresville on Monday afternoon. After a scoreless regulation period, Erwin scored with 45 seconds left in the second overtime on a 25-yard free kick by Troutman. Southeast’s boys scored three second-half goals to beat Mooresville 3-0 to win the Rowan County Middle School Tournament. Details weren’t available at press time on that game.

Indians rally on Red Sox Associated Press
The AL roundup... CLEVELAND — For the first time this season, a national TV audience finally experienced the Indians’ late-inning karma. Funny enough, Cleveland’s manager watched it on the tube, too. Asdrubal Cabrera’s two-out RBI double in the eighth inning — the latest big hit delivered by Cleveland’s shortstop — rallied the Indians to a slippery 3-2 win over the Red Sox on Monday night, another dramatic victory for a team that believes there is no deficit too big to overcome. “We’re just going out and winning ballgames,” Indians starter Justin Masterson said. “It’s a different person every night. It’s been a lot of fun.” With a steady rain falling, Cabrera, who went 5 for 5 with two homers and five RBIs on Sunday, drove his double off reliever Daniel Bard (1-4) to the wall in left field, scoring Michael Brantley and helping the Indians win their fourth straight and improve to 19-4 at home. The win was the Indians’ eighth in their last at-bat at home this season. Rangers 4, White Sox 0 ARLINGTON, Texas — Josh Hamilton took off running, and kept up that pace even after his first swing in six weeks for the Texas Rangers sent the ball over the wall for his first homer this season. “It was good to get it out of the way, good to get that nervousness over,” Hamilton said. The Rangers have been waiting for their AL MVP and Nelson Cruz to get back in the lineup, and both delivered big blasts in a 4-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Monday night. Cruz and Hamilton homered to back up Alexi Ogando’s five-hitter for his first career shutout. “An exciting moment for us to be back,” Cruz said. Blue Jays 7, Yankees 3 NEW YORK — Blue Jays manager John Farrell is constantly searching for nontraditional ways to make teams pay for pitching around Jose Bautista. Having his cleanup hitter lay down a sacrifice Monday night was about as unconventional as Farrell could get. Batting fourth for the first time this year, Yunel Escobar bunted after Corey Patterson doubled and Bautista was intentionally walked in the sixth. Bartolo Colon then intentionally walked Juan Rivera to load the bases and Toronto responded with a five-run inning capped by J.P Arencibia’s three-run double that helped the Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 7-3. Tigers 6, Rays 3 DETROIT — The Detroit Tigers leaned on two of their newest players to win a second straight game. Charlie Furbush won in his major league debut and Andy Dirks hit his first career homer, helping Detroit beat the Tampa Bay Rays 6-3 Monday night. “There’s nothing like it in the world,” said Dirks, a week after making his big league debut. “I’ll remember it for the rest of my life.” Furbush (1-0) pitched 3 2-3 scoreless innings of relief, suddenly entering the game after Detroit starter Phil Coke injured his right ankle. “He didn’t have time to think about it, he just pitched,” Tigers manager Jim Leyland said.

Milwaukee’s corey Hart hit his first three home runs of the season Monday against the Nationals.
Hart gets his first three homers Associated Press
The NL roundup... MILWAUKEE — Corey Hart hit his first three home runs this season and drove in seven to tie both club records, lifting the surging Milwaukee Brewers past the Washington Nationals 11-3 on Monday night. Hitless in his previous 11 at-bats, Hart smacked tworun shots in the first and fifth innings off Tom Gorzelanny (2-4) to reach 100 homers for his career. He finished with a three-run homer off Doug Slaten with two outs in the eighth. Prince Fielder also homered for Milwaukee, which has won seven straight at home and 11 of the last 14 overall. That was plenty of support for Yovani Gallardo (62), who retired 12 straight at one point and allowed only one run — on Michael Morse’s homer in the second — in seven innings. Hart hit 21 home runs in the first half of last season, made the All-Star team for
a second time and signed a $26.5 million, three-year extension later in the summer. But this spring was quickly derailed when he hurt himself in drills and his recovery took longer than expected. Astros 4, Dodgers 3 HOUSTON — Hunter Pence’s two-out RBI single in the ninth inning lifted the Houston Astros to a 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night. The Astros trailed 3-1 entering the ninth inning before Michael Bourn tied it with his two-out, full-count double down the right-field line that scored two against Kenley Jansen (1-1), the hard-throwing rookie who is the latest pitcher the Dodgers have given a shot to close games. Bill Hall started the rally with a one-out single and Angel Sanchez walked with two outs. They advanced on a double steal to put the tying runs in scoring position for Bourn. Jansen hit Clint Barmes with a pitch before Pence’s looping line drive to left field sent Bourn home. Catcher Dioner Navarro blocked the

So, aside from some brief trips back to his home state of New Jersey, he has remained in New Orleans, seeing specialists on his own and taking part in the players-only practices organized by Saints quarterback Drew Brees at Tulane. Casillas said he has felt good during workouts with teammates and that none of the running or agility work has been a problem. If there are any lingering limitations that might affect him in a game, he is not aware of them.

Phillies 10, Reds 3 PHILADELPHIA — Maybe all the Philadelphia Phillies needed was to see Chase Utley back in the lineup to perk up their slumping bats.

Utley returned after missing the first 46 games with a right knee injury. The fivetime All-Star second baseman was 0 for 5, the only starter without a hit. His teammates did all the damage. “I don’t know if it was his presence or not, but somebody did something right so we’ll give him credit,” manager Charlie Manuel said. A struggling offense that

Her parents John and Lesleigh Drye were by her side in addition to her teammates and friends last Thursday at Salisbury High for her official signing. “We looked at a few places and to Carley, as well as us as parents, Liberty was the best match of a school that could balance the swimming and academics and we are very proud of what she has achieved,” Lesleigh Drye said.

Some of the same aspects are still there, as Betsy Graham, McCollister’s first swim coach at age 5, will coach McCollister next year when he swims at Catawba. “At first, I thought I wouldn’t want to go to a school that’s close by,” McCollister said. “After I toured the campus and talked to Betsy and met the swim team, I fell in love with the school.” McCollister considered William & Mary and Davidson, a pair of strong academic schools. The 6-foot

The lefty is 8-0 with an 1.23 ERA against the Reds, including a five-hit shutout to complete a sweep in last year’s divisional playoff series. “Him being around gets guys excited and gives us a new energy level,” Hamels said of Utley. “It’s great to see him.” Reds starter Bronson Arroyo (3-5) allowed nine runs and 10 hits in 2 2-3 innings. His ERA rose from 4.11 to 5.28. It was Arroyo’s worst start since allowing eight runs in three innings against San Diego on April 23, 2010. Jay Bruce hit a three-run homer for the Reds, who haven’t lost this many in a row since dropping eight straight from July 28 to August 4, 2009. “We just have to get back on track,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “That’s two days in a row we went to the bullpen early and we can’t keep doing that.”

Everyone was nice and you know there isn’t a whole lot there, but it’s not super strict like everybody thinks and the morals are what made it feel like home to me the most,” Drye said. Liberty has a top 25 caliber ladies swim team and Carley know the challenges that will be put in front of her as a freshman, but is embracing them with a conquering attitude. “I know they are very good, but I talked to and met all of the girls and coaches and they couldn’t be nicer or more supportive,” Drye said. “I decided that I wanted to be a small fish in a big pond rather than being a big fish in a small pond and I think that by doing that, it will make me a whole lot better by being around swimmers that are better than me.”

McCollister, who also hopes to be an orthodonist, received an academic scholarship to Catawba. “I’m pretty good at freestyling and breast strokes, I feel like those are my strongest strokes,” McCollister said. “I need to work on my butterfly and back stroke and my starts and turns. I’ve never been the best with mechanics.” McCollister carries a 4:46 personal best in the 500 freestyle. Last summer, he broke the RAC record in the 1650 freestyle with a 16:22.47 and made a national cut in the 200 breaststroke the summer before eighth grade, giving his family something to smile about. “It was a really proud moment because my mom had just been diganosed with cancer,” McCollister said. “Things weren’t looking too good and she said that really helped her just by seeing something good happen.”

Bruins ride Thomas again in win BOSTON — Tim Thomas stopped 33 Bruins 3 shots after Lightning 1 allowing another early goal, and Brad Marchand scored the game-winner to lead Boston to a 3-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday night and put the Bruins one win away from the Stanley Cup finals. The victory gave Boston a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference finals, with a chance to clinch Wednesday night in Tampa Bay. The Lightning would need to win Game 6 to force a seventh game in Boston on Friday. Nathan Horton scored to tie it in the second period, 17 seconds after returning from the penalty box. Marchand scored with 4:04 left in the period to give Boston a 2-1 lead. Boston managed just 19 shots on Mike Smith as he made his first career playoff start in place of Dwayne Roloson. Tampa Bay finally managed to pull the goalie with 42 seconds left, but Rich Pever-
ley scored an empty-netter with 12.1 seconds left to clinch it. The Lightning left the extra skater on the bench for the ensuing faceoff, but they couldn’t come through with anything more than some shoving after the final whistle. Thomas bounced back after allowing four straight goals in Game 4 and may have saved the season when he stopped Steve Downie with about 11 minutes left, reaching out to put his stick in front of the open net and protect a 2-1 lead. The crowd cheered each time it was shown from a different angle on the scoreboard. Two nights after Tampa Bay rallied with five straight goals to overcome a 3-0 deficit and win Game 4, Boston shrugged off Simon Gagne’s goal just 69 seconds in and staged a comeback of its own. Gagne, who scored the winner in Game 4, converted a 2on-1 with Steve Stamkos to beat defenseman Johnny Boychuk and put the puck past Thomas. Horton tied it on a one-timer from Milan Lucic 4:24 into the second period — just Boston’s seventh shot. Marchand also took a penal-

Arrest made in case of battered fan LOS ANGELES — A tip from a parole officer led to the arrest Sunday of the key suspect in the attack on a Giants fan outside Dodger Stadium after the rival teams’ season opener, a brutal beating that brought outrage in the sports world and beyond. Suspect Giovanni Ramirez, 31, was detained in an early morning raid on an East Hollywood apartment building and was believed to be the “primary aggressor” in the March 31 beating that left Bryan Stow with brain damage, Police Chief Charlie Beck said at a news conference. Ramirez, of Los Angeles, was later booked for assault with a deadly weapon and was being held on $1 million bail, police said in a statement.

I said the wrong thing and I’m going to pay the consequences — deal with the consequences — like a man. I don’t want to be a distraction to the team right now.” Television cameras captured Noah saying an expletive, followed by the slur. Noah said he did not realize the gravity of the situation until he was questioned by reporters after the game Sunday, adding that he meant “no disrespect” to anyone. Bryant was fined $100,000 last month, and just last week, Phoenix Suns president and CEO Rick Welts revealed he was gay, a rare acknowledgement for someone holding a prominent position in men’s sports. “We know what business we are in,” Heat forward LeBron James said Monday. “Emotions get played. ... I don’t think it was right what he said. But emotions do get said over the course of the game. We know there’s going to be microphones. We know there’s going to be cameras around. You just have to be cautious about what you say and just try to control your emotions as much as possible.” The Heat won Sunday’s game 96-85, taking a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. Game 4 is Tuesday night in Mi-
months, 6 days. Foreman was 45 years, 10 months. Hopkins won the WBC, IBO and The Ring magazine titles from the 28-year-old Pascal (26-2-1), the Montreal fighter who was making his fifth defense before 17,560 at the Bell Centre. The bout was a rematch of their Dec. 18 draw in Quebec City.

IndyCar’s most marketable personality is in the 33-car field with a four-lap qualifying average of 224.861 mph, the second fastest Sunday. Patrick pulled out of the qualifying line when her car failed inspection, then had to wait through two rain delays before making a qualifying attempt. At one point, it looked as if Patrick might not even get that shot. When the track dried, Patrick quickly qualified 26th, the middle of Row 9.

The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, or GLAAD, said it reached out to the NBA and the Bulls on Monday “to discuss next steps,” and called upon the league to reiterate to its players that anti-gay words should not be tolerated in the game. “Last month the NBA sent an important message about how such slurs fuel a climate of intolerance and are unacceptable,” GLAAD President Jarrett Barrios said in a statement. “These anti-gay remarks, coming so soon after, demonstrate how much needs to be done.” GLAAD said it has started a partnership with Bryant and the Lakers following the April incident in Los Angeles. Also Monday, the Human Rights Campaign called Noah’s use of the slur “just plain unacceptable.” “At a time when the NBA and a growing number of proathletes are publicly standing up for equality, it’s too bad Mr. Noah worked against their efforts last night,” HRC President Joe Solmonese said. “That said, we’re pleased he quickly realized the error of his ways and apologized.” Some of Noah’s teammates stood up for him Monday, saying that the fan went too far in whatever comments were directed toward the Bulls’ bench. Taj Gibson said the man repeatedly directed verbal abuse toward the Bulls, and other players insisted that was true. “It wasn’t just one time or two times,” said Bulls forward Luol Deng, who declined to say what comments the fan may have made.

Although it appeared Edwards ran over either a manhole cover or drainage device, a collision that caused heavy damage to the front of his Roush Fenway Racing Ford, track officials said the infield has only grass, so it wasn’t clear what caused all the mishap.

Blame also spread to the NHL and Commissioner Gary Bettman for seemingly being complicit in rushing the team’s sale and move.

Terry finished with 20 points for Dallas and Kidd scored 17 to go with seven assists, five rebounds and four steals. Fueled by the disappointment of losing Game 3 and squandering home-court advantage, the Thunder took control right away and never trailed in regulation. With much of the sellout crowd remaining on its feet, the Thunder grabbed control with two separate bursts of seven straight points early in the fourth quarter. Durant had a two-handed slam and a 3-pointer off an offensive re-
bound in the second run, gesturing as though he were slapping on a pro wrestling championship belt after the 3 made it 99-84 with 5:06 remaining. He hadn’t won anything yet, though, especially with guard James Harden fouling out just after Dallas starting the closing run in regulation. The Mavericks limited the Thunder to just one basket the rest of the way to wipe away the lead and tie it at 101 on Nowitzki’s two free throws with 6.4 seconds left. Nowitzki scored 12 points during the Mavs’ 17-2 run and got fouled by Nick Collison, who grabbed the big German’s hip as he lunged to tip the ball away, before hitting both foul shots to tie it. Shawn Marion blocked Durant’s 3-pointer at least 30 feet from the basket with 2 seconds left, and the Mavs couldn’t convert a chance at the win when Kidd’s inbounds lob with 0.7 seconds left hit the rim.

When plans were announced to build NASCAR’s only Hall of Fame, Jarrett made a commitment to improving his health so he could live long enough to be inducted. “I’ve worked extremely hard on my health the last several years for this purpose,” said the 78-year-old Jarrett. “I wanted to live for other reasons, too, but that was a big reason I wanted to be around for a while. I am truly honored to be among this class.” Monday night’s ceremony drew major star power to help with the inductees: Former President George H.W. Bush narrated the video to introduce Lee Petty, while newscaster and author Tom Brokaw narrated Moore’s. Alabama football coach Nick Saban narrated Allison’s video. Jarrett selected broadcaster Ken Squier to introduce him, and he’ll be inducted by his children Dale Jarrett, Glenn Jar-

rett and Patti Makar. Dale Jarett is a former Cup champion and current ESPN broadcaster. Lee Petty, who died in 2000 and is the only deceased member of the class, will be inducted by his grandchildren. Allison will be inducted by his brother, Donnie. The twist is for Pearson, who will be introduced by Richard Petty, his longtime rival. The two still bicker about their on-track competitions, and shared a testy moment on stage last week at a nominees dinner over the 1976 Daytona 500 finishes. Pearson passed Petty on the last lap, and as Petty tried to reclaim the lead, they touched and both spun, but Pearson was able to cross the finish line ahead of Petty. Car owner Leonard Wood, who along with longtime friend Russell Branham will induct Pearson, said the “Silver Fox” treasures those racing memories. “He might pick at Richard, but he’d rather run with Richard than anybody,” Wood said. “He thought it was more special when it came down to them two than any of his competitors.”

Cold water, warm water: It’s all the same Dear Dr. Gott: I have read that drinking the appropriate amount of water each day is good for my health.

Revolt” Å
Practice makes perfect, they say BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
George Santayana, a Spanish-American philosopher and writer who died in 1952, said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Today’s deal will be easier for those who remember the past — yesterday’s column. Again you are in six no-trump, trying to find a dozen winners after West leads the diamond nine. You start with only eight top tricks: one spade, three hearts, three diamonds and one club. That is a surprisingly low number for 34 combined points. However, you have obvious chances to gain those four extra winners from the black suits: two in clubs and two in spades (the club finesse is winning) or one in clubs and three in spades (the club finesse is losing but the spade finesse is winning).
Lohan’s father pleads not guilty in attack BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Lindsay Lohan’s father has pleaded not guilty to attacking his ex-girlfriend during an argument. Michael Lohan entered the plea to misdemeanor domestic violence battery Monday in Beverly Hills. He was arrested in March after his ex-girlfriend, Kate Major, accused him of abusing her and preventing her from calling 911. The Lohan family patriarch has a fractious relationship with his movie star daughter.
Because there is only one sensible play in clubs (the finesse), you should attack that suit first. Win the first trick in your hand and play a club to dummy’s jack. When it wins, do not assume West has the king. A strong East would duck this trick. Return to your hand in a red suit and repeat the club finesse. Here, it wins, but if it lost, you would need four spade tricks. You would then take the spade finesse once or twice, hoping East had kingdoubleton or king-third. When the club finesse works, though, you need only three spade tricks. The correct play is to start with the ace. Here, the king drops and you are home. But if the king does not put in an appearance, you go twice to the dummy and lead toward your queenjack, gaining whenever East has the king or the suit is splitting 3-3.

Sizes available:
More storms are expected in the East on Tuesday as a low pressure system in southern Canada drags a cold front through the Eastern Valleys. The cold front will sag across the Northeast and the Ohio Valley through the day and will extend from the Northeast through the Southern Plains by the evening. Rich moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will spread northward and pool along this front, fueling more rain showers, bands of heavy rain and clusters of thunderstorms ahead of this system, especially in the Mid-Mississippi and Ohio Valleys. Meanwhile, cold dry air from Canada will spread southward on the northern side of this front, increasing instability along this boundary. The Storm Prediction Center has put areas from northwestern Texas to southern Nebraska at moderate risk of severe weather development. Areas surrounding this moderate risk area and northeastward, from the Southern and Central Plains through the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys into Southern New York, are at slight risk of severe weather development with large hail, damaging wind, frequent lightning, and tornadoes. A tornado outbreak will be possible across the Central and Southern Plains Tuesday. Residents in these areas are encouraged to monitor their local weather activity through the day and heed weather warnings and advisories. In the West low pressure will trigger more showers and thunderstorms in the Northern and Central Rockies. Further west, a weak ridge of high pressure will allow for brief and slight warming in California. To the north, another disturbance will approach the Pacific Northwest through the day. Showers may reach the coast by late Tuesday night.
