City schools lose state funds in budget plan BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
KANNAPOLIS — State funding for Kannapolis City Schools is on the line under the Senate-drafted budget proposal. The proposal, released Tuesday, decreases funding to city school systems by 20 percent next year and completely cuts it in 201213. Though city school districts would not be forced to consolidate with county systems, the loss of funding dollars could leave little choice. “It’s still so early on in the process it’s still not clear what the plan would mean for the next couple of years,” Will Crabtree, the

PENCER — Duke Energy will fire the new combined cycle power plant at Buck Steam Station for the first time in August. Commercial operation at the $600 million facility, called “combined” because it uses both natural gas and steam to create electricity, should begin in December, officials said Tuesday. The two remaining coal-fired units at Buck Steam are scheduled to be shut down by 2015. “This tells the story about how Duke Energy has evolved,” said Duke Energy District Manager Randy Welch, standing between the soon-to-be-eliminated 1925 coal-fired units and the 21stcentury combined cycle technology rising on the site. Nineteen Buck Steam retirees took a close-up look at the new plant Tuesday,

They gathered under crackling power lines while Todd Shuping, project director for construction, pointed out details and probed their memories. “How many of you swam in frog pond?” Shuping asked about a nearby swimming hole. Many of the men worked with Shuping’s father, Doug Shuping, who also retired from Buck Steam. Like Todd Shuping, Brent File comes from a Buck Steam family. File will run the new facility and is the son of longtime Buck Steam employee Norman File, who

ROWAN COUNTY — State Senate Republicans praised the lower taxes and education reform included in their $19.4 billion budget unveiled Tuesday, but Gov. Bev Perdue said she will veto it if there isn’t enough support for schools. In the next fiscal year, the North Carolina Senate proposal spends $129 million more overall than the House and $473 million less than what Perdue proposed. The governor wanted to extend threequarters of a temporary penny increase on the sales tax, but Republicans plan to let it expire in June. Sen. Andrew Brock, who BROCK represents Rowan and Davie counties, said Monday that legislators are working to make government as efficient as possible, lower state debt and put money back into the economy. “We’ve had a heart attack, and we’re trying to get off our high-fat diet,” Brock said. “The people who want to keep the one-cent

First anniversary: Norvell creates lifelong memories for performers S ALISBURY — Last week, I spoke briefly with a dwarf and a wood nymph. We met down in the belly of The Norvell children’s theater, where 40 performers were arriving to put on costumes and makeup for that night’s performance. Allison Lingle, a 12-year-old from North Rowan Middle School, was playing a dwarf in “The Lion, the Witch & MARK the Wardrobe,” WINEKA and she would be on stage often during the night, even though she delivered only Jon C.

Now she has a whole group of new friends — from a lot of different schools — because the constant work behind a production tends to make for a bonding experience. And though Allison played a dwarf, I know she’s standing taller these days. Performing in front of 250 people a show will do that to a person. Ivy Overcash was my wood nymph. “Getting to meet so many people — and just the experience of being on stage,” she told me, are the great things to being part of a production at The Norvell, now a year-old. Overcash, 11, already thinks she is developing a lifetime hobby, having now participated in three of Piedmont Players’ shows, the PPT summer camps and productions at her school, Salisbury Academy.

Her growing love of the theater shares time with her other interests such as basketball, volleyball and tennis. She is a wellrounded wood nymph who already has learned an important life lesson from her theater experience: Keep trying. Auditioning for plays and being rejected can be a tough experience for any kid. It has happened before to both Allison and Ivy, and it’s disappointing, sometimes tearful. But the children who read or sing for parts — 240 auditioned for 40 spots in “The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe” — come to realize that their losing out on a role doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t have the talent, or should quit auditioning. More often, it means they weren’t exactly right for the part being cast, but might be perfect for the next one. Likewise, there

are many other things they could do in connection with a show — and that’s the beauty of The Norvell. This is the kids’ place. They take ownership. Besides performing, children work the lights and sound board. They serve as ushers and greeters. They can play in the orchestra. Meanwhile, their parents become involved, too. Ivy’s mother was working the box office that night. Allison’s family has worked there and at the concession stand. Alison Bird, vice president of the Piedmont Players Theatre Board of Governors, said three fathers were dressed in black and helping backstage on this particular night.

SALISBURY — Teal Lynch says she hasn’t helped out at her daughter’s school as much as she would’ve liked this year, but she plans to change that next year. Lynch has been able and willing to lend a hand at Overton Elementary School, but she wasn’t sure where to begin. After Tuesday’s education revival, she has the tools to get more involved. Armed with a list of volunteer opportunities that includes everything from mentoring to cutting out materials, she’s planning to be a familiar face a Overton. “It’s been very informational,” she said. “I would like to volunteer a lot more, but I didn’t know what to do, now I can go to the school and say I want to do these things.” The goal of the revival, sponsored by the United Way of Rowan County and Rowan Partners for Education, was to provide information about ways residents can support public education locally. “I hope you will leave here tonight with a sense of purpose,” Pete Teague, president of Rowan Partners for Education, said. “I hope you will get some ideas and determination about things you can do.” Laura Hamilton, a motivational speaker, told the audience of more than 150 people that even the smallest things can make an impact.
GOP FROM 1a sales tax have a $2.5 million wish list.” The Senate budget spends more on education than the House version but significantly less than Perdue’s proposal. It would hire 1,100 additional teachers in early grades while eliminating funding for 13,000 teaching assistant positions in those same grades. Brock said this is an effort to reduce class sizes and direct money where it’s most needed in the classroom. Perdue’s office called the effort to focus on public school teachers a good first step, but Perdue raised the possibility of a veto in a prepared statement. “I’ve seen the House budget and I’m reviewing the Senate budget,” she said. “By the time they come together, they need to send me a budget that protects our schools, community colleges and universities. If they pass a budget that undermines our schools and fails to protect the quality of our education system, then I will have no choice but to veto it.”

bob lippard, executive director of the Rowan County united Way, and Pete teague, president of Rowan Partners in Education, listen to motivational-speaker laura Hamilton. She said when she was hospitalized with food poisoning several years ago a simple act of kindness cured her. Shivering as she peaked behind her room curtain, a doctor said “you look like you’re freezing” and proceeded to bring her a warm blanket. “It didn’t matter what kind of degree he had, as soon as I got that blanket I started to get better,” she said. “Every one of you in this room tonight could be someone’s warm blanket to help them with their walk in life.” John Dornan, former president and executive director of Public School Forum of North Carolina, said being a positive role model for students can make a difference in their lives and help decrease the state’s drop out rate. Dornan said another way to
keep kids in school is by getting them engaged. “Kids who get involved in something and, frankly, it doesn’t matter what ... tend to have more motivation,” he said. Hiring and retaining high quality teachers and administrators is also a key component for successful students, Dornan said. Dornan said in counties like Rowan that don’t have the funds to provide lofty pay supplements, residents should look for ways to show their appreciation. “Show up and talk to the school board and county commissioners,” he said. “Make it clear that in Rowan County education is a thing people value.” The revival was a culmination of the United Way’s Teacher Matters listening ses-
sions. The sessions, conducted last fall, included members of the faith-based community, law enforcement officials, business leaders, educators, parents and students. “What we heard from teachers during the listening sessions is that parents can help out by doing five things,” parent Nora Patterson said. “Assuring their child has a good night’s sleep, good nutrition, prepared homework, daily attendance and encouragement.” Patterson encouraged parents to stay involved in their children’s lives as they move through middle and high school. “Ask your schools what you can do,” she said.
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. Senate Minority Leader Martin Nesbitt said the elimination of funding for more teacher assistants cuts deeper into public schools despite spending $62 million more than the House plan did. “The people of North Carolina are not going to sell out the public schools for a tax break,” he said. According to the Associated Press, the Senate budget would eliminate 19,744 positions through state government and the public schools, although it’s unclear how many of those are filled and whether local districts have used the money to hire teachers. The bill seeks to reduce class sizes in early grades, begins the process for a meritpay system for teachers and state employees, reduces the rate for all three individual income tax brackets by a quarter-percentage point and gives a tax break to small businesses. “The pension plan for state employees will be fully funded for the first time in years,” Brock said Monday. “The health care plan is in very
good shape. At one time, it was within two weeks of being bankrupt.” The Senate budget would keep the House’s 20 percent cut to Smart Start, but it also would dissolve the nonprofit that administers it, the North Carolina Partnership for Children. The early childhood initiative would move to the Division of Childhood Development under the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services. Dr. Olson Huff, the partnership’s board chair, said in an online statement that the proposal would effectively kill the initiative and “destroy
years of early childhood progress.” Budget subcommittee cochairman Sen. Stan Bingham of Denton said the changes would free up administrative costs and help more children, but an amendment to the provision is possible. The Senate budget also makes $60 million in acrossthe-board cuts to community providers of services for mental health, developmental disabilities and substance abuse services.

Three hospitalized after wreck EMS personnel honored for community service BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com
Shelley Smith/SALISBURY POST
Firefighters and paramedics work to get the driver out of the car safely. SALISBURY — Three people were taken to the hospital after a Tuesday afternoon collision at the intersection of Shuping Mill Road and Old Beatty Ford Road. The most serous injury was a broken shoulder suffered by the passenger in one of the vehicles, N.C. Trooper Anthony Carpenter said. Carpenter said the collision happened when Charles Kluttz, driving a Dodge pickup, tried to make a left-hand turn onto Old Beatty Ford Road and was struck by a red sedan. Kluttz was taken to Carolinas Medical Center-NorthEast in Concord, along with the driver of the sedan, Nadine Long, 46, of Rockwell, and Long’s daughter, who suffered the broken shoulder. Kluttz, 44, of Rockwell, was charged with failure to yield right of way. The intersection was closed for some time, The driver of the pickup was also taken to the hospital. holding up several school buses.
China Grove board proposes tax rate increase BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
CHINA GROVE — The upcoming budget will reflect a 4 cent tax rate increase following changes to property values in the recent revaluation. In order to generate the same amount of money in the upcoming fiscal year as the tax rate did this year, the board proposed the increase that would take taxes from 43 cents to 47 cents. The board increased taxes last year by 5 cents, but had not done so previously since the last revaluations. In March, Interim Town Manager Ken Deal predicted the town would have to increase to 48 cents at a time when the board had one budget meeting and had not made any final decisions about budget cuts. The board has not approved its 2011-12 budget, but will meet June 7 to discuss it. There will also be a public hearing during that meeting.
Finance Officer Mary Jo Bopp said the board asked her in the budget planning stages to look into a 1 percent raise for all employees. Later, it was decided a raise was not feasible and was not included in the final budget. What was included in the budget was $55,000 salary for the town manager. Deal, who works about 19 hours a week at $36 an hour as the interim explained the proposed change. At the last budget meeting Councilman Lee Withers asked if the budget contained money for a town manager if Deal decided to leave? “It’s not so much we wanted to give Ken a raise. We wanted to make sure we had enough in the budget in case we had to hire someone, then we had the money there,” Withers said by phone. Withers praised the work Deal has been doing saying “he’s far exceeded what we’ve had in a manager. We needed somebody who has ownership
of the community.” Deal is a China Grove native. He began as interim manager Nov. 8 and will remain until a full-time town manager is hired. There was no indication given as to how long a person can remain as an interim. Deal said he was just not certain. Under the retirement system, Deal can only work 999 hours within a year, which works out to less than 20 hours. Withers said he believed there is no set timeframe a person could remain as interim, but as long as the person, in Deal’s case, works less than 20 hours a week or 999 hours in a year. The $55,000 included in the budget would also be the salary for a future town manager, with room to negotiate for a more competitive rate. Deal is up for a formal evaluation at which time the board will review the direction it wants to proceed. The board also has to contend with less money in high-
way funds. The only money generated for road/highway maintenance is received through the state Powell Bill funds. These funds are produced from the state gas tax and the Highway Trust Fund, which municipalities get a percentage of it and can only be used to repair, maintain, or reconstruct local streets, bikeways or sidewalks. China Grove expects $106,600 in projected revenue, but Deal said it won’t likely increase next year or be enough to address numerous street repairs. The board is also expected to approve a contract with Salisbury-Rowan Utilities in an effort to reduce its rates. The town receives water from Salisbury-Rowan Utilities. The town entered into an agreement more than a decade ago when it used more water. The town has talked with Salisbury in the past about a possible merger that would re-

Annexation bill headed for state Senate B Y K ARISSA M INN kminn@salisburypost.com
A bill that would let property owners block involuntary annexation passed the N.C. House 107-9 last week, and Sen. Andrew Brock said he expects it to clear the Senate with similar ease. “Everybody agreed we need to have reform this year,” said Brock, who represents Rowan and Davie counties. “I think this addresses everybody’s concerns... and it’s getting us where we need to be.” According to the bill, if 60 percent of landowners sign petitions opposing a proposed annexation, the municipality could not annex the area for at least three years. The legislation is now sitting in a Senate committee while lawmakers concentrate on the state budget. Brock said the bill may change a bit, but most of the issues likely have been worked out in the House. “I think 60 percent may be a little high,” Brock said. “I could see taking it down to a majority of 50 percent plus one.”

Granite Quarry looks for ways to share costs with other towns BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com
GRANITE QUARRY — As Granite Quarry faces a likely property tax increase, Alderman Jake Fisher said his board should look at areas in which it might be able to share costs with other towns. At a budget work session Monday night, he encouraged the Board of Aldermen to set up an initial meeting with Faith and Rockwell officials. There might be personnel or pieces of equipment — such as a wood chipper, Fisher used as an example — that the towns could share, instead of each town’s buying its own. No matter, Fisher said, the dialogue should start sooner rather than later. “If we don’t start,” he said, “nothing happens.” Faith and Granite Quarry already cooperate in law enforcement through their joint Granite Quarry-Faith Police Authority. Faith pays a 22 percent share of the police authority budget, for example, based on population. In the 2011-12 fiscal year, beginning in July, the towns also are looking to share a zoning officer. As of now, Granite Quarry

In February, town officials approved a resolution to transfer the water and sewer system to the control of Salisbury. “Salisbury-Rowan Utilities, in the long run will help us out
BILL FROM 3a Municipalities also would be required to install water and sewer service to houses in annexed areas for free if more than half of the landowners ask for it. Brock
HONORED FROM 3a Chief Rory Collins said. A few months ago when the police department had a rash of car break-ins, Collins said, Lane was able to properly lift fingerprints from several of the cars, and after the prints were entered into the department’s fingerprint database, an arrest was made — something Collins said is difficult even for an experienced officer. • Travis Shulenburger, Salisbury Police Department veteran of the year. Shulenburger has been with the department for seven years, starting as a patrol officer and advancing to criminal investigations as a detective after SHULENBURGER only three years. Shulenburger has had more than 700 hours of advanced law enforcement training and is also a member of the Salisbury Police Department Special Response Team. “He is well respected among his peers,” Collins said. • Dustin Motsinger, N.C. Highway Patrol rookie of the year. Motsinger has been with the Highway Patrol since December 2009. “As a matter of fact, last year 1,383 people met Trooper Motsinger,” Highway Patrol First Sgt. Barry Hower said, referring to the number of MOTSINGER p e o p l e Motsinger stopped or charged on roads, including warnings. • Chris Rogers, N.C. Highway Patrol veteran of the year. Rogers had 1,332 contacts, or charges, last year. And he
aldermen face a proposed 2011-12 budget that would raise taxes from 33 cents per $100 valuation to 40 cents per $100 valuation. The solid waste collection fee also would increase for residences from $8 a month to $10 a month. But homes that recycle would receive a $3-per-month discount, putting their solid waste charge at $7 a month. Roughly 11 percent of Granite Quarry homes take advantage of recycling now. Town Manager Dan Peters said for the owner of a $160,000 home the proposed property tax increase, coupled with the $2 increase for solid waste collection, would translate to an extra $10 a month, or $120 a year. Aldermen are expected to act on the proposed budget at their June 6 meeting. They also anticipate acting on a resolution supporting a Rowan County vote on a 1cent option sales tax. If approved for the county, the additional penny on the sales tax could mean an extra $133,000 to $150,000 a year, Peters said. “The local option sales tax would greatly assist in restoring revenues we have lost
over the past three years,” Peters said in a recent message to state Reps. Fred Steen and Harry Warren. Sales tax revenues for Granite Quarry dropped $113,847 from fiscal year 2008 to fiscal year 2010. “We estimate fiscal year 2011 will still have a drop from fiscal year 2008 of $103,000,” Peters added. In addition, Granite Quarry’s revenues from investments have dropped about $30,000 over the past three years, and property tax revenues were down $15,808 from 2009 to 2010. “The total of all these lost revenues is approximately $149,00,” Peters said. “This does not take into consideration the 4.5 percent drop in property values due to revaluation.” The proposed budget had one bit of good news. Aldermen approved the switch of medical insurance coverage from the N.C. League of Municipalities to Blue Cross Blue Shield. Peters said the change should save the town about $30,000 over the next fiscal year. Contact Mark Wineka at 704-797-4263.
Budget Highlights: • Tax rate increases from 43 cents to 47 cents. • Powell Bill Funds generates $106,600 in projected revenue, but won’t likely be enough to address numerous street repairs. • No garbage or recycling fees established. • Transfer water/sewer to Salisbury-Rowan Utilities, which will result in a future savings to residents.

said this puts the burden on cities and towns to make sure there is a good reason to annex an area if the landowners don’t pay this cost. Groups opposing involuntary annexation, including Good Neighbors of Rowan County, are in favor of the bill but wanted it to shift
more power from municipalities to property owners. The North Carolina League of Municipalities, a lobbyist group representing towns and cities, neither supports nor actively opposes the bill.
had one call in particular in which he really helped out behind the scenes, Hower said. A call came over about a child in respiratory distress, and Rogers responded. When he got there, paramedics were performing CPR on the child, so Rogers helped as much as he could with equipment, and then he tried to ease the mind of the boy’s mother. “He talked to the mother and kept her as calm as he could,” Hower said. “He offered her ROGERS words of encouragement, trying to keep her strong.” Rogers drove the woman to the hospital. The child did not survive. “But somebody has to be there,” Hower said. “Behind the scenes.” • William Kluttz, Rowan County Sheriff’s Office rookie of the year. Kluttz, a deputy, has been with the Sheriff’s Office for some time, working as a bailiff in the courthouse. “He does exactly what we need him to do,” Auten KLUTTZ said. And as people are getting frustrated having to take off belts and shoes, Kluttz remains positive. “He’s always over there with a smile,” Auten said. • Gene Smitley, Rowan County Sheriff’s Office veteran of the year. Smitley, a sergeant, began in 1989 as a “reserve, reserve officer,” Auten said. Smitley also worked in the drug unit with Auten years ago. “He’s a SMITLEY very hard worker, he’s
sincere and he puts in his hours,” Auten said. Smitley also holds the highest standard of certification by the N.C. Sheriff’s Association. Auten said Smitley, now a patrol officer, has built the best team the sheriff’s office has. “He hosts events at his house,” Auten said. “He cares about his people.” • Kristin Estep, Rowan County Department of Emergency Services rookie paramedic of the year. Estep has been with Emergency Services for one year but began her health care career in Florida as a certified nurse assistant. As she was on her way to the hospital to have her daughter, she talked to an ambulance attendant about ESTEP being a paramedic. “Her dream of working with EMS was born, along with the child born thereafter,” said Frank Thomason, Rowan County Emergency Services director. Estep is now a senior medic with Rowan EMS and serves internally on several boards. • Crystal Linker, Rowan County Department of Emergency Services veteran paramedic of the year. Linker began with Rowan EMS in 1996 and has an associate’s degree in emergency services along with numerous certifications — advanced cardiac life support, advanced trauma life support, swift water rescue, LINKER farm emergencies/farm medics, firefighter I and II and level one HAZMAT. Linker is also one of only three women who has completed Rowan County Advanced Tactical Support Team training.

CrimeRoundup Marijuana find leads to child abuse charges MOORESVILLE — Authorities say they charged a man with child abuse Monday after finding marijuana within reach of two children in his home. And they found the marijuana while serving warrants on drug charges stemming from a February search MARTIN of the same home, a Rowan County Sheriff’s Office report said. Roger Dean Martin, 32, of 1520 Oak Breeze Drive, is charged with two counts of misdemeanor child abuse, manufacturing marijuana, maintaining a dwelling or vehicle for a controlled substance, simple possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was placed under a $5,000 bond. According to the Sheriff’s Office report, investigators served a search warrant Feb. 3 when Martin was not home. They found: • A Christmas bag filled with plastic bags containing marijuana residue, digital scales and marijuana seeds; • On a bookshelf in the living room, a book with a false compartment that contained plastic bags and scales with cocaine residue; • On the floor in the living room, a can with the words “puncture seal” on the outside that had a hidden compart-
ment containing plastic bags and a small knife with cocaine residue; • In the dining room, 17 small marijuana plants under grow lights on top of a fish tank. Searching the home, Monday investigators found a small amount of marijuana on a plate on Martin’s dresser and more marijuana and a marijuana grinder inside the dresser, according to the report. Martin and two children were home Monday, and Martin was arrested. Authorities contacted the Rowan County Department of Social Services about the children.
Police: Man shot across street at ex-girlfriend’s father SALISBURY — A Salisbury man is in jail after police say he shot at his ex-girlfriend’s father across South Main Street. The Salisbury Police Department said officers were dispatched Monday afternoon to Lancaster’s Car Wash on South Main after numerous people called 911 to report a man with a gun shooting across the street. When officers arrived, they found T h o m a s J e r o m e Hosch, 28, HOSCH and his gun, a .380-caliber that Hosch had tossed on the sidewalk, a report said. They determined the gun was stolen from a home in Laurinburg.

Officers spoke to Anthony Wallace Jr., the father of Hosch’s ex-girlfriend, who told them Hosch was at the car wash and had started an argument with him. The report said Wallace walked back toward a house and Hosch fired several bullets at him, but never hit him. Hosch was charged with felony possession of stolen goods and assault by pointing a gun. He was placed under a $5,000 secured bond.
Man charged with sex offenses against 14-year-old ENOCHVILLE — A 20year-old Mooresville man is charged with sex offenses against a 14-year-old girl he met on Facebook. And a woman is charged with felony child abuse after authorities say she allowed the crimes to happen in her home on South Enochville Avenue. Stephen Michael Smith is charged with statutory rape and a statutory sex offense. He was in the Rowan County jail Tuesday night under $150,000 bond. According to a Rowan County Sheriff’s Office report, authorities were called to Carolinas Medical Center-NorthEast on April 28 to investiSMITH gate a sexual assault that allegedly happened April 26. The investigators found Tracy Mikolay at the hospital with the girl and asked
why she didn’t report the incident sooner. Mikolay replied that she didn’t want law enforcement involved and didn’t want to press charges, according to the Sheriff’s Office report. The girl told authorities she met Smith on Facebook and that he and another man came to her house and into her bedroom, where they stayed for s e v e r a l hours. Mikolay was also in the home, the girl said. Mikolay MIKOLAY was aware that Smith is 20 years old, according to the report. On May 19, Detective Sarah Benfield met with Rowan County Assistant District Attorney Tim and discussed Goude charges against Smith. They also discussed Mikolay and determined a misdemeanor charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor against Mikolay was sufficient, the report said. District Attorney Brandy Cook reviewed the case and charged Mikolay with felony child abuse. A magistrate found probable cause and issued warrants for Mikolay and Smith. On May 20 Mikolay turned herself in Friday and was placed under a $15,000 bond. She has since been released from jail. Smith turned himself in to Iredell County authorities Sunday and he was transferred to the Rowan County jail Monday.
Cabarrus ham radio group to participate in field day Cabarrus County Amateur Radio operators will work around the clock this weekend to set up field radio communication stations, get on the air and contact thousands of other operators in the U.S. and Canada as part of participation in the American Radio Relay League’s Field Day. According to Sam Roberts, President of the Cabarrus Amateur Radio Society (C.A.R.S.), Field Day is the annual “shakedown run”for the ARRL’s National Field Organization. “Field Day is a way for hams to get outdoors and have fun
under some difficult conditions,” Roberts says. “But it’s also a chance to fine-tune emergency communication skills. We use generators and battery power, and we set up antennas in the field. The idea is to put together a self-sufficient, working station quickly and begin making contacts.” The ARRL Field Organization has been effective in establishing emergency communications nets during floods, hurricanes, fires, earthquakes and
other major disasters. Members of formal emergency organizations such as the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) and the Radio Amateur Communication Emergency Services (RACES) regularly participate. The League estimates that more than 35,000 hams participate in Field Day every year. In cooperation with the City of Concord, C.A.R.S. Field Day operations this year, will be held at Fire Station No. 3, Con-

ning with Zumba for her exercise needs. Elizabeth will not only run the Bare Bones 5K on Saturday, but she will race it. She is a determined competitor now, as signified by her total weight loss of 115 pounds. The 10th Annual Bare Bone 5K will take place at Knox Middle School on Saturday. The Bare Bones 5K started as a non-sponsored, low key event, simply intended to give back to the area runners and walkers who enter SRR’s events throughout the year. It has grown into a 200 person race under David Abernathy’s leadership. Abernathy was honored in 2010 as the Southeast Regional Race Director of the Year. His innovative ideas and sound fiscal management have produced successful events, but Abernathy raised the bar this year. First, he went with a higher quality dri-fit shirt. Then he challenged SRR Vice President Steve Clark to a race-off between the two of them. At times, the two have slung rather pointed jabs at each other. Abernathy actually pulled up beside Clark and another runner, telling Clark that he could run much faster if didn’t talk so much. Once and for all, they will settle their differences on pavement that includes the Greenway and Prescott Drive. Different this year also is that all proceeds will go to Relay for Life. Race director Abernathy said

biggest person in the room. � She began to avoid anyone with a camera, and seldom went out much. It became easier to stay home and comfort herself with food. In January, Elizabeth attended a Weight Watchers meeting at the South Rowan YMCA. Her body mass index was 43, signifying that Elizabeth was considered morbidly obese. Realizing that she was sick of herself, and of her own body, Elizabeth felt like this might be her last shot. But after just one month attending classes, she had lost 20 pounds and thought that she might be able to gain control over her eating. Then a friend suggested Zumba. “I was afraid to try it, but I was immediately hooked. Because of my weight, I just couldn’t move as fast as the rest of the class. But each week I got better and it became part of my regular routine,� Elizabeth said. She started going to class twice a week with all four of her daughters. The weight continued to come off, Elizabeth said. Finally, Elizabeth decided to challenge herself and she ran the China Grove Main Street Challenge 5K in June of last year. At that time, she had lost 56 pounds and she was soon hooked on running. The Beginning Runners Class followed and that is where I met her. She now has lots of energy, eats right and still attends Weight Watchers. She has combined run-

bout 3 months ago, I met Elizabeth Chabala. She signed up for one of the Salisbury Rowan Runner’s Beginning Runner Classes. Elizabeth attended the class at First Reformed Church in Landis, and immediately I noticed that she was really trying hard. Elizabeth had a DAVID special story, FREEZE but I had no idea during the first few weeks of the class. Her bubbly personality and genuine positive approach made it fun to run beside her. I noticed that she was taking the class seriously, never missing, always running farther and just a little faster than she did before. We talked as we ran together about her family. On one Tuesday night, one of her classmates told me that Elizabeth had lost more than 100 pounds. My curiosity took over, and I found out how this came about. Elizabeth was not overweight as a kid, but she hated exercise. After getting married, Elizabeth starting gaining weight with each of four pregnancies, and it never came off. Over a 10 year period, the weight gain totaled 135 pounds. Elizabeth was diagnosed with sleep apnea and also as a pre-diabetic. Exhaustion was a part of every day, and only with a nap could she make it through the day. Elizabeth said “I felt miserable all the time and was a disappointment to my family. I tried many diets, but nothing worked. Gastric bypass surgery scared me. I really believed that I would be overweight for the rest of my life.� Elizabeth’s mom died in 2005, and it was a devastating loss. Elizabeth found comfort in unhealthy food, the very thing that had killed her mother. Elizabeth realized that she didn’t want her own daughters to lose their own mother. Elizabeth said “I ate lots of terrible things, and never ate fruits and vegetables. Anywhere I went, it seemed like I was always the

Two dead, two injured in Union County train crash
Dozens hurt when school bus overturns
RALEIGH (AP) — Two train crew members were killed and two others injured in a freight train crash in Union County that crumpled train cars and forced the evacuations of nearby homes early Tuesday, officials and witnesses said. CSX spokesman Bob Sullivan said two locomotives were traveling east through the town of Mineral Springs when one train struck the other from behind about 3:45 a.m. and cars on both trains derailed. Authorities told a dozen people to leave nearby
GREENSBORO (AP) — Authorities say dozens of students have been sent to hospitals after a Davidson County elementary school bus overturned. School officials say the bus with 38 students onboard was headed to Midway Elementary School at about 7:30 a.m. Tuesday when it was involved in a wreck with a truck pulling a trailer. Authorities say 31 students were sent to hospitals, but Assistant Davidson County 911 director Dwayne Condrey says none of the injuries were thought to be serious.Seven uninjured students were picked up scene by parents.
homes because of smoke from a fire that started after the crash. Union County spokesman Brett Vines said fuel from the locomotive engines was burning. An earlier report that one of the trains was carrying cooking oil was incorrect, Vines said. Sullivan said no hazardous materials were being hauled. “We don’t know how fast they were traveling and we don’t know exactly how it happened,” Sullivan said. “Obviously, there will be an investigation into all those details.”
Vines said the wreckage was still burning Tuesday evening on the track that bisects the one-stoplight town about 20 miles southeast of Charlotte. He said firefighters likely would have the blaze out by Tuesday night and evacuees should be able to return home Wednesday. Vines said one CSX engineer was pronounced dead at the scene of the wreck, while a second died at Carolinas Medical Center shortly after 4 a.m. Tuesday. Their names were not immediately released. Two other crew members
were treated at the scene. Ray Arvin said he saw the blaze and the crumpled mass of train cars about 8 a.m. when he got to his office just a few yards from the railroad track that runs parallel to N.C. 75. Police had cordoned off the area, so Arvin had to walk several blocks to reach his workplace at Blythe Co. “When the second engine slammed into the back of the train, the front engine just folded and the train cars stacked up on top of each other,” he said. Each of the trains had two locomotives. One carry-
ing 12 freight cars was en route from Atlanta to Charlotte. The other had nine freight cars and was traveling from New Orleans to Hamlet, N.C., Sullivan said. Diane Countryman, wife of a Mineral Springs council member, said emergency personnel were keeping the site cordoned off throughout the day Tuesday, and not even allowing local officials near the site. Countryman said local residents are accustomed to train traffic through the town, which has a population of 2,500, but wrecks are rare.

Duke Energy’s construction site of a new 620-megawatt natural gas-fired combined-cycle generating plant is located next to the buck Steam plant in rowan County.
PLANT FroM 1a tighter pollution controls, shut down coal-fired units 3 and 4 last week as a condition to build the new combined cycle plant. Coal-fired units 1 and 2 at Buck Steam were shut down years ago, and units 5 and 6 are slated for closure in 2015. Overall, Duke will retire 1,000 megawatts of power produced with coal over three years, Welch said. Because it will use ambient air to cool the steam instead of river water, the new plant will consume less than 5 percent of the water that was used at units 3, 4, 5 and 6 combined. The construction crew building the combined cycle plant has peaked at about 900 workers and will begin to decline this summer. About 25 people will work at the new facility. Welch said so far, no one has lost a job due to shutting down coal-fired plants. The 620-megawatt natural gas-fired, combined-cycle generating plant will replace about 370 megawatts of coalfired capacity by 2015, said Erin Culbert, a Duke Energy spokeswoman. Actual emissions of nitrogen oxide will be reduced by 97 percent, from 2,552.9 tons per year to 64 tons per year, Culbert said. Sulfur dioxide will be reduced essentially by 100 percent, from 10,693.5 tons per year to fewer than 5 tons per year, she said. In 2008, Rowan County approved Duke Energy for an incentive to expand Buck Steam Station. Starting in 2012, the company will receive roughly $840,000 back from its property tax payment annually for 10 years. The expansion was competitive, and Duke Energy considered several locations, Welch said. Incentives helped Rowan County win the project, although the availability of power transmission, natural gas and a water source were more important, he said. “For Rowan County, this means a $600 million invest-

ment added to the tax base,” he said. Duke Energy paid about $1.2 million in property taxes in 2010, and the company’s tax bill is expected to top $2 million when construction at Buck is complete. After 10 years, the county keeps 100 percent. The new combined cycle facility is an intermediate load plant, meaning Duke will use it when the demand for electricity increases. Nuclear power plants, which make up 50 percent of Duke’s fleet and are the most efficient source of electricity, run around the clock, Welch said. When demand increases, Duke uses intermediate load plants. The combined cycle plant will compete with coalfired plants located throughout the Carolinas as the next source of power after nuclear. Whether the plant is used on any certain day depends on the weather, demand and the cost of natural gas, Welch said. Shaw Group is the general contractor. Duke is building a nearly identical combined cycle plant at Dan River Steam Station in Rockingham County. Duke Energy built an extra bay in the 230,000-volt switchyard to accommodate the additional power generated by the new plant. Buck Steam plant was Duke Energy’s first large capacity coal generating plant built in the Carolinas and was named for the company’s co-founder, James Buchanan “Buck” Duke. Contact reporter Emily Ford at 704-797-4264.
A natural gas combined cycle generating facility combines two energy production processes — gas turbines and a steam turbine — to convert natural gas to electricity. First, natural gas is burned in two combustion turbines to produce mechanical power that is converted to electric power by the
generator. For increased efficiency, the hot exhaust gases from the natural gas combustion process are then routed through the heat recovery steam generator (boiler), which produces steam and additional electricity through a steam turbine.
Combined cycle plants’ operational flexibility are key in supporting intermediate electricity demand, and their systematic use of heat released from the natural gas combustion allows them to achieve high thermal efficiency. DukE EnErgy

Energizing edamame BY KATIE SCARVEY kscarvey@salisburypost.com
There are some foods that leave one feeling completely satisfied and energized, and no, I’m not talking about Carolina pork barbecue. If you’re looking for a quality fuel for your body, edamame is an excellent choice. Edamame (pronounced eddamah-may) is really just a fancy name for boiled green soybeans. These don’t sound particularly yummy, I realize, but they’re actually quite wonderful. They have a pleasant, slightly nutty taste, but the best thing about edamame for me is that when I eat it for lunch, I feel like superwoman all afternoon. After doing some reading about whether or not this feeling is justified, I learned that edamame does in fact contain a lot of things that contribute to sustained energy, including lots of protein, omega-3 fatty acids and iron. It also has plenty of tryptophan, which can improve sleep, elevate mood and even help regulate appetite. Edamame also contains an essential trace mineral called molybdenum, which is said to enhance concentration. It’s also packed with folate, considered a natural mood booster. You can buy edamame in the pod or already shelled, which is my preferred form. For snacking, however, edamame in the pod works nicely. While doing a healthy home cooking story a while back at the home of pediatrician Chris Magryta and his nutritionist wife, Nicole, I noticed that their young children enjoying edamame as a pre-dinner snack. Just toss the pods into salted, boiling water for five minutes. Pop them right out of the pods into your mouth — but don’t eat the pods themselves. Edamame is more widely available now than it used to be, although it’s still not a common item at farmers markets. You can, however, find edamame at McDonald’s as a topping on the Asian salad. This recipe for Roasted Edamame Salad comes from Alton Brown. I haven’t made this exact concoction, but I’m pretty confident that this recipe will be a winner, especially with fresh, local tomatoes and corn.
Roasted Edamame Salad — Alton Brown
12 ounces fresh or frozen shelled edamame, about 2 cups 1 ⁄2 C. fresh corn kernels, about 2 ears of corn 1 ⁄4 C. finely diced scallion 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tablespoon olive oil 3 ⁄4 tsp. kosher salt 1 ⁄4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 1 C. chopped fresh tomato 1 ⁄4 C. chopped fresh basil leaves 1 Tbs. red wine vinegar Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the edamame, corn, scallion, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper into a 13 by 9 metal pan and stir to combine. Place on the middle rack of the oven and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, just until the edamame begins to brown. Remove from the oven and place in the refrigerator until completely cool, approximately 30 minutes.

Add the tomato, basil and vinegar to the edamame mixture and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning, as desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature. • • • I happen to love the taste of falafel, so I tried the following recipe recently. I was impressed with how easy and good it was. It’s baked, so it’s lighter and healthier than the regular fried version. I added a little bit of olive oil to this recipe, and I think that next time I’ll also add some crushed garlic. You could also easily form burgers with this mixture.

Is breakfast the most important meal of the day? n this week’s column, I will provide you the answer to a question that may still puzzle many. Is breakfast the most important meal of the day? We have all heard that before, but it is really true? The truth is that, yes, it is the most important meal of the day. Breakfast gets you going for the day — at work, at TOI school and at DEGREE play. People who eat breakfast feel better all day. They are more alert and creative and they perform better with a longer attention span and memory. Eating breakfast helps us feel better and helps avoid headaches and stomachaches from hunger. When you don’t eat breakfast, you don’t have the energy you need to start your day and by mid-morning you are exhausted or looking for any food you can find, often times leading you to make unhealthy choices. So, if it is so important, what are some reasons that people skip breakfast? • You don’t have time to make or eat breakfast. • You don’t have breakfast foods in the house. • You’re not hungry when you wake up. • You don’t like breakfast foods. • You think skipping breakfast helps you lose weight. If your reason for skipping breakfast is to lose weight then you are heading down the wrong path. About 25 percent of Americans do not eat breakfast. Some people feel that if they skip breakfast, it will help them eat fewer calories. It may sound like a good way to eat fewer calories. After all, eating one less meal has to help you eat fewer calories, right? Wrong. In fact, just the opposite is true. People who eat breakfast: • Eat fewer total calories and less total fat. • Are less likely to be overweight. Breakfasteaters weigh, on average, less than those who skip breakfast. • People who skip breakfast tend to eat more calorie-dense food later in the day, more than making up for the calories they would have consumed at breakfast. So what is the one thing that many people who have lost weight and kept it off have in common? Simply eating breakfast! Eating breakfast: • Reduces hunger later in the day. • Reduces the urge to consume more calorie-dense foods.

it to go. Save time by packing both a brown-bag breakfast and lunch the night before, and keep it in the refrigerator until you are ready to leave. • Breakfast doesn’t have to be breakfast food. Use leftovers for breakfast. This helps save money and keeps from wasting food. • Plan and shop. Keep sliced fruit or hard-cooked eggs in the refrigerator. A smart breakfast includes one item from each of these three groups: Grain. A grain gets your body and brain going for a busy day. Try hot or cold whole-grain cereal or wholegrain bread. Protein. Protein is often missing from breakfast. Protein is what you need to keep you going until lunch. Many foods have protein, not just those from the meat group. Try lean options like eggs, lean deli-meat, fat-free yogurt or cottage cheese. Fruit. Breakfast is a great way to get started on the two cups of fruit you need each day. Whole fruit is a better option than juice because you get the added benefit of dietary fiber that helps you feel fuller longer. Any fresh, frozen or canned fruit is fine. Make sure canned and frozen do not have added sugar.
Quick breakfast ideas: • Rice pudding — mix leftover rice, low-fat or fatfree vanilla yogurt, raisins, almonds and cinnamon. • Pita sandwich — fill pita bread with 1 ounce lowfat cheese, 1 or 2 ounces low-fat ham or turkey, and vegetables. Heat in the microwave or serve cold. • Hot cereal — make quick cooking oats, add fruit, and enjoy with a glass of fat-free milk. • Breakfast burrito — fill a whole-wheat tortilla with one scrambled egg, egg substitute or 1⁄2 cup black beans. Add 1-ounce low-fat cheese and salsa. • Fruit smoothie — 1⁄2 cup of fruit — banana, strawberries, peaches, blueberries; 1 cup of base — low-fat plain or vanilla yogurt, frozen fruit or ice cubes; and 1⁄2 cup liquid fatfree or soy milk or juice blend until smooth and enjoy. Skip the fast food breakfast. There are virtually no healthy options on the breakfast menu. Keep healthy foods on hand and make breakfast at home. Have a good week and start enjoying breakfast again.
Add to your menu for the weekend some of the great salsa or relish from The Funky Pepper. Surely you need an apron, table cover, tote, potholder, soap or head gear from one of our many hand crafters.

ease of this tasty meal starts at the market. The starch portion of the dish consists of quick-cooking fine egg noodles combined with instant brown rice, which has all the nutrition of its conventional cousin, but cooks in about a quarter of the time. To build layers of great flavor, the rice and noodles are browned with sauteed red onion and smoky Canadian bacon, then simmered in dry white wine and chicken broth. Vegetables come in the form of protein-rich edamame. But if you prefer, you could use frozen baby lima beans or even black-eyed peas. While the pilaf is simmering, throw some lemony, flash-marinated shrimp on the grill. If you don’t want to bother lighting the grill you can cook the shrimp in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until they are opaque, about 11⁄ 2 minutes per side. Grilled scallops or chicken would work, too.

PUBLIC NOTICE LEGISLATION
Bills need a deep burial Medicare scares hen the city wins a grant to revitalize a neighborhood, is it satisfied to quietly post the news on its website — or does it hope for a front-page article and photos? When the county helps recruit a new business, do commissioners say, “Let’s just put a few paragraphs on our website” — or do they show up for a grand ground-breaking ceremony that will get coverage in the local newspaper? When local leaders launch a new marketing campaign, do they rely solely on government websites or view newspapers as a crucial way to reach audiences? Think about those and similar “good news” scenarios as you ponder the rationale behind House Bill 472 and Senate Bill 773, which would allow cities and counties to post public notices on government websites instead of publishing them in local newspapers. Like Dracula in his coffin, these bills represent a bad idea that refuses to die. Earlier this month, the House Committee on Government resoundingly rejected the House bill 21-10, with Rep. Harry Warren (RRowan) among those voting against it. As the North Carolina Press Association noted at the time, “this should kill off this bill.” But late Tuesday, it appeared HB 472 might be stirring in its coffin. House Majority Leader Skip Stam, one of the primary sponsors, has reintroduced the bill in the House Rules Committee, although it wasn’t clear whether he intended for it to be debated anew. Meanwhile, Sen. Andrew Brock (R-Davie and Rowan) has introduced a similar measure in his chamber. (Brock told the Post editorial board he doesn’t expect the Senate bill to come up for discussion this session.) Let’s hope that’s the case. If either of these bills re-emerges into the light of day — now or next session — legislators should act in the interest of government transparency, public access to information and accountability. As we urged in an earlier editorial, put a stake through their hearts. Public notices generate some revenue for newspapers, but that isn’t the reason this idea deserves a quick death. It’s also true that governments need to cut costs, but updating and maintaining websites takes resources. There’s no guarantee this will actually save money; there’s no doubt it would reduce the visibility of public notices. There’s nothing wrong with governments publishing information on their own websites, of course. But giving government agencies the discretion to publish public notices only on their own websites vastly increases their ability to control the dessemination of that information. When governments want to spread the good word, they know local newspapers remain the best single way to connect with the community. The same holds true if they really want public notices to remain in the public eye.

Never think you’ve seen the last of anything. — Eudora Welty
Moderately confused
Liberals distort Republican reform plan ome Democrats and their left-wing supporters are telling grotesque lies about a Republican Medicare reform plan, sinking so low in one instance, so pathetically, immorally, disgustingly low, as to try to convince the nation through an ad that the reform will murder the elderly. It’s not just the ad by an outfit called The Agenda Project that’s threatening rescue from our spending and debt plight, although there is surely a special place in Hell for such nasty propaganda. The ad shows someone looking vaguely like Rep. Paul Ryan, R.-Wisc., push an old woman to the edge JAY of a cliff in a wheelchair, AMBROSE dumping the protesting, helpless soul to her certain death when they get there. Along the way, we are told how half the 46 million Medicare recipients make no more than $28,000 a year. It is made to seem they will have to fend for themselves if the Republican plan flies. Without the video vividness, any number of Democrats (along with Republican Newt Gingrich) have spread similarly dire depictions even though the plan drawn up by Ryan and passed by the House would not go into full effect for 10 years and would not apply to anyone currently on Medicare. The government would still provide funds for health insurance and would reward the well off less than those with lower incomes, which is something you would think the soak-the-rich left would applaud. Given the known proclivity of Democrats to demonize entitlement sanity and the fact that Americans do cling to these programs like lifesavers in a sea storm, it took extraordinary courage for Ryan and the GOP to address this issue honestly in the first place. The concept, by the way, is not a far-right invention — Alice Rivlin, appointed to top positions by Lyndon Johnson, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, endorses it. That’s not to say she likes the particulars or that the concept or the particu-

lars should not be debated. Some Republicans besides Gingrich don’t like the plan, and I agree with the case for increased vouchers for the least affluent and still more means testing. Consider economic writer Robert Samuelson’s observations that the number of poor elderly has been shrinking, the number of high-income elderly rising and that married-couple households over 65 years of age have a median net worth of $385,000, a lot more than most of those funding their benefits. The thing is, this plan does eventually begin cutting Medicare spending in a serious way, as we absolutely must do for the sake of both Medicare and the nation. No one questions that revenues are going to fall trillions of dollars short of promises, and you can’t fix it with federal taxes. As an online Cato Institute piece observes, the Congressional Budget Office says most of these taxes would have to be doubled over the next 40 years to foot the bill, reducing national income by a fifth. Want a job, anyone? The trouble with most congressional opponents is that they have no answer of their own, preferring re-election to serving their country, and Medicare’s chief actuary has cast doubt on whether Obamacare’s Medicare tinkering will do the trick, either. Remember, too, that Medicare is just part of the issue — three-fourths of us get some federal benefit or the other whether we need it or not, and as Samuelson and a host of other analysts testify, this largesse cannot be sustained. If the taxes don’t get us, debt will, dramatically darkening our economic way and making this passing recession seem happiness and sunshine by comparison. Government has to cut it out, but instead what we get is a vicious TV lie, too many Democratic opportunists, some cowardly Republicans and a president whose chief ambition has so far been to pretty much enlarge everything despite some talk to the contrary. • • • Jay Ambrose was formerly Washington director of editorial policy for Scripps Howard newspapers and the editor of dailies in El Paso, Texas, and Denver.

Parents, educators should never condone bullying I just finished reading the article “Vigil Message: Bullying can create lasting wounds” published in the May 23 paper. There was one sentence that stood out to me: “They changed Megan’s class schedule to avoid the girls who were tormenting her.” My thought is, while I completely understand why this decision was made, it should not have been necessary. The girls tormenting Megan should have had actions taken to stop the behavior completely. Parents of the kids who do the bullying need to be better parents (there, I said it). Children should not be raised thinking bullying is OK. It is never OK to put someone else down, not for any reason. And to the parents who say, “Oh, they are just being kids ... it’s not a big deal,” I ask you this question: What if it were your child in tears? How would you feel about the situation then? I completely blame the parents of the bullies and school officials who let bullying take place. Children do not ask to be born, so it is up to every single adult to make sure children are kept safe. School is a place where children should be able to go and not be afraid. And to all people involved who let this behavior continue, you should be ashamed of yourself. Today it may not be your child who is being called names, being hit etc. etc. But one day it very well could be. Teach kindness to your children. Bullying can come in many different forms, and it is never OK. — Jamie Parker Salisbury

Too much sign oversight I wish whoever is in charge of telling people what they can and can’t do with their own property would let us, the public, know what was so wrong with Okey Dokey’s signs. You make ridiculous rules because you know you can force them on people. Some time ago, the bed and breakfast on Fulton Street had to change its signs because you had a problem with it, and you claimed the sign at Harrison’s Florist on Grove Street was too big. (Boy, was it big — if you weren’t looking for it, you wouldn’t even see it.) It looks as if you like to flaunt your authority, whether it makes sense or not, because you can get by with it.

dd me to the list of citizens who favor repeal of the law requiring the annual jump-through-the-hoop known as vehicle inspections. My recent run-in with the DMV is a prime example of a law which is not cost-effective, and adversely affects the lower economic classes disproportionately. Ignorance of the law is no excuse, no matter how inane the law. That being said… About a month ago, I took our 1992 Honda Accord for its annual inspection, a requirement for renewing one’s license tag. Due to the vehicle’s age, it doesn’t require an emissions test, just a safety inspection. The spirit of the law is to keep unsafe vehicles off the road; the letter of the law goes a little deeper. Therein lies the problem. The first mechanic did a thorough inspection and informed me the car has failed. To pass, my little menace to society must have the following issues addressed: Upper left ball joint, resonator, outer tie rod end, left side CV axle boot, and front parking lamps. Cost for said repairs: $700. The car has 248,000 miles on it. The only time it might be worth $700 is when the gas tank is full. During a two-year stretch of unemployment, we have tried to keep our fleet of second cars (the other is a 1991 Ranger, 230,000 miles) roadworthy enough to keep a tag on them, with a focus on tires and brakes. As with most people in our situation, we do not drive highmileage cars because we love them; we drive them because it is the best we can do at the time. On the way home, my mind fogged in by anxiety and dread of Bruce La Rue the prospect of lives in Mt. Ulla. having to park the Honda, a light shone through. I decided try another inspection station, hoping for a more generous ruling. I didn’t mention that the car had failed inspection earlier. The car passed, I renewed my tag. Happy ending? Yes. Or, rather, no. A few days ago, I get a call on my cell phone from my wife informing me that the DMV, obviously inspired by the exploits of Seal Team Six, has dropped a team of operatives into our compound and had Osama bin Honda surrounded. My stepdaughter was the only one home at the time, and when she saw two operatives emerge from the Crown Vic packing heat, she was terrified. Her first thoughts were that she was about to be informed of a family fatality. After some questioning, and fearing the possibility of enhanced interrogation techniques, they were able to glean a treasure trove of intel from her, including my wife’s work phone and my cell number. Why they did not call before coming out remains a mystery. When I spoke to operative No. 1, he informed me what I did was illegal, and I would be fined $166 for my transgression. We set up a time to meet at the compound. When I met with the DMV inspectors the next day, I pleaded my case, using logic and reason. I kept my sarcasm to a minimum, probably the most difficult part of this incident. I was given the citation, in which I am listed as defendant. It has some interesting wording: “… you did unlawfully and willfully allow an electronic inspection authorization to be issued to a vehicle owned operated (sic) by the defendant, knowing that the vehicle should not pass inspection, a violation of vehicle inspection law. (G.S. 20183.8(A) 2.” The wording states I have aided and abetted myself. The cynic in me says that they are tagging both runners standing on the same base with the hopes of nailing at least one. The state already got its pound of flesh from me in the form of two inspection fees in the same day. Unsatisfied, they seek to wrest another $166 from me, less the costs incurred by two trips out to Mt. Ulla, including public sector pay and benefits. This fiasco wrapped in a debacle illustrates the need to do away with the annual inspection hoop jump. We have a state sales tax, a state income tax, a vehicle tax and a gasoline tax. Operative number one told me that only about 85 cents of the inspection fee goes back to the state. Oh, yes, let us not forget the voluntary tax on the poor, the lottery. While I will concede ignorance of the law is no excuse, I would submit that ignorance of the need to repeal a stupid, expensive law is no excuse either.

Israel willing to make ‘painful compromises’ for peace WASHINGTON (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a cheering U.S. Congress on Tuesday he was willing to make “painful compromises” for peace with the Palestinians, but he offered little concrete to entice Palestinians back to the bargaining table. By giving such a high-profile speech before overwhelmingly supportive U.S. lawmakers, Netanyahu was able to demonstrate to Israelis that he retains strong backing in the NETANYAHU United States despite his frosty relations with President Barack Obama. He also moved the needle on territorial compromise, for the first time explicitly saying in his address that Israel would have to give up some West Bank settlements. But Palestinians immediately rejected his overall peace package, which for the most part was a recycling of previously stated positions that the Palestinians had turned down. One senior Palestinian official even dubbed Netanyahu’s peace blueprint a “declaration of war.” Speaking before a sympathetic Congress that showered him with more than two dozen sustained standing ovations, Netanyahu said Israel wants and needs peace and would make “generous” territorial concessions. Under any final peace accord, he added, “some settlements will be beyond Israel’s borders.”
Battles in Yemen’s capital kill 38 SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Fighters from Yemen’s powerful tribes fired on government buildings Tuesday, prompting soldiers to respond with intense shelling in street battles that left at least 38 dead as the uprising against President Ali Abdullah Saleh threatened to become a militia-led revolt. Medical officials said 24 tribesmen were killed in the fiercest fighting on Sanaa’s streets in years. Government officials said 14 soldiers were killed and 20 were missing as the situation deteriorated following the collapse of an Arab mediation effort to get Saleh to step down. As the battles developed, the heart of Yemen’s capital was turned into a no man’s land with heavy gunfire, mortar rounds and artillery fire from government forces. As the death toll mounted, Saleh called for a cease-fire. A statement from his office called on both sides to lay down their arms and asked the tribesmen to withdraw from government buildings they seized..
Egypt’s Mubarak to face trial over protester deaths CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s prosecutor general ordered Tuesday former President Hosni Mubarak put on trial on charges of corruption and conspiring in the deadly shootings of protesters during the uprising that ousted him, a stunning step against a leader whose power was nearly unquestioned for three decades. The announcement that Mubarak would face a criminal court grants a major demand of Egyptians who have threatened a second revolution amid growing worries about the slow pace of change under the country’s new military rulers. The charges could carry the death sentence, said the prosecutorgeneral spokesman Adel elSaid. It would be the first time an Arab leader is sent to trial solely by his own people in modern history. Iraq’s leader Saddam Hussein was toppled during the U.S. invasion in 2003 and sentenced three years later to death for killing 140 Shiites. “It is the first time that a living president is going to face victims of his abuse before an ordinary court in the region,” said Hossam Bahgat, a prominent human rights activist. “It is precisely because of this unique and unprecedented nature that we need for this trial to be as credible as possible.” Mubarak was forced to step down after an 18-day popular uprising that was met with a heavy security crackdown. A government fact-finding mission said at least 846 people were killed and a thousands injured.

Steve Stafford and Kathy Butler help salvage belongings from the apartment of a friend in Joplin, Mo., on Tuesday. At least 116 people were killed and hundreds more injured when a tornado cut a destructive path through Joplin on Sunday evening. The man who lived in the apartment survived with cuts and bruises by huddling in a closet at the rear, despite having a neighbor's car thrown through the building.
Town still searching for survivors after tornado levels homes JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) — Emergency crews drilled through concrete at a ruined Home Depot, making peepholes in the rubble in hopes of finding lost shoppers and employees. A dog clambered through the shattered remains of a house, sniffing for any sign of the woman and infant who lived there. Across this devastated city, searchers moved from one enormous debris pile to another Tuesday, racing to respond to any report of a possible survivor. As the death toll in Joplin rose to at least 122, another line of severe thunderstorms spawned tornadoes in Oklahoma and Kansas that killed at least six people. Nine survivors had been pulled from the aftermath in Missouri, and searchers fought the clock because anybody still alive after the deadliest single tornado in 60 years was losing precious strength two days after the disaster. And another round of storms was closing in. For Milissa Burns, hope was fading that her 16-month-old grandson, whose parents were both hospitalized after the twister hit their house, would be found. She showed up Tuesday at a demolished dental office near the family’s home to watch a search team. At one point, a dog identified possible human remains, prompting eight searchers to dig frantically, but they came away with nothing. Burns was weary but composed. Her daughter — the boy’s aunt — sobbed next to her. “We’ve already checked out the morgue,” Burns said. “I’ve called 911 a million times. I’ve done everything I can do. He was so light and little. He could be anywhere.” Also Tuesday, the National Weather Service announced that the twister that crippled Joplin was an EF-5, the strongest rating assigned to tornadoes, with winds of more than 200 mph. Scientists said it appeared to be a rare “multivortex” tornado, with two or more small and intense centers of ro-
tation orbiting the larger funnel. It was the deadliest single twister since the weather service began keeping official records in 1950 and the eighth-deadliest in U.S. history. Authorities said an estimated 750 people were hurt and an unknown number were still unaccounted for, but authorities were reluctant to declare a specific number. “That does not mean they are injured or deceased. It means that loved ones are not aware of their whereabouts,” City Manager Mark Rohr said, explaining that many had probably left the area without telling family members. Another top job was testing the city’s tornado sirens to make sure they were operable ahead of another round of potentially violent weather starting Tuesday evening and expected to last into today in some places. Emergency officials warned jittery residents well in advance of the test. David Imy, a meteorologist at the federal government’s Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., said conditions were ripe for severe thunderstorms, including tornadoes, in parts of Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Kentucky and Tennessee, as well as nearly all of Oklahoma. Throughout the search efforts, new reports emerged of clusters of victims: 11 people dead in a nursing home, three bodies found in an Elks Lodge. The tornado tossed three vehicles into the Greenbriar nursing home and left nothing more than a 10-foot section of an interior wall standing. On the night of the twister, the Joplin Elks lodge had been scheduled to host its weekly bingo game. “If that had been two hours later, there could have been 40 or 50 people in there,” said Chris Moreno, a hospital lab technician coordinating an outdoor triage center. Jasper County Emergency Director Keith Stammer said the scope of the destruction was making it diffi-
cult to account for people affected by the storm. He suggested that many survivors, with nowhere to go, left Joplin for Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma or other parts of Missouri. “There’s a lot of confusion, a lot of inability for folks to communicate,” he said. Authorities also announced a curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., with only residents and emergency workers allowed inside the disaster zone. People in the Joplin area and beyond have turned to online social networks to find family members missing since the tornado or to learn about the plight of survivors. Multiple Facebook pages created since the tornado are filled with requests for information about specific people who have not been heard from since Sunday. Some pages include photos of the missing. Other posts share the news about Joplin residents who are alive and well. Several social-networking efforts specifically focused on finding information about Will Norton, a teenager who vanished on his way home from his high school graduation ceremony. More than 10,000 people have supported the “Help Find Will Norton” community page on Facebook, and Twitter users were tweeting heavily about the missing teen. Family members told the Associated Press that Norton and his father were still on the road when the storm hit. Mark Norton urged his son to pull over, but the teen’s Hummer H3 flipped several times, throwing the young man from the vehicle, likely through the sunroof. The elder Norton was hospitalized. From the air, the difficulty of the search was apparent. The tornado damage was “like taking a mower through tall grass. That’s what it looks like,” said state Sen. Ron Richard of Joplin, who flew over the area with Gov. Jay Nixon and Sen. Claire McCaskill. He described the devastation as “down to the ground.”
Puerto Rico governor says Obama to visit island
Compressed air turns NZ trucker into human balloon
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — President Barack Obama has accepted an invitation to visit Puerto Rico next month, a trip that would make him the first sitting president to come to the U.S. territory in decades, the island’s governor said Tuesday. The president, who campaigned in Puerto Rico for the Democratic primary, will visit the island June 14, Gov. Luis Fortuno said, without disclosing details of his itinerary. “With his visit, the president makes good on the promise he made during the presidential primaries in 2008 that he would return to Puerto Rico as president,” Fortuno said in a statement. The governor’s office described the Obama trip as the “the first official presidential visit” since December 1961, when President John F. Kennedy stopped on the island to a formal welcome on his way to Venezuela. But that was not the last time a U.S. president set foot in the territory: President Gerald Ford hosted an economic summit in Puerto Rico in June 1976. Pedro Pierluisi, the island’s
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — A New Zealand truck driver said he blew up like a balloon when he fell onto the fitting of a compressed air hose that pierced his buttock and forced air into his body at 100 pounds a square inch. Steven McCormack was standing on his truck’s foot plate Saturday when he slipped and fell, breaking a compressed air hose off an air reservoir that powered the truck’s brakes. He fell hard onto the brass fitting, which pierced his left buttock and started pumping air into his body. “I felt the air rush into my body and I felt like it was going to explode from my foot,” he told local media from his hospital bed in the town of Whakatane, on North Island’s east coast. “I was blowing up like a football,” he said. “I had no choice but just to lay there, blowing up like a balloon.” McCormack’s workmates heard his screams and ran to him, quickly releasing a safety valve to stop the air flow, said Robbie Petersen, co-owner of the trucking company. He was rushed to the hospital with terrible swelling and fluid in one lung. Doctors said the air had separated fat from muscle in McCormack’s body, but had not entered his bloodstream. McCormack, 48, said his skin felt “like a pork roast” — crackling on the outside but soft underneath.
nonvoting representative in Congress, said he expects Obama will discuss a recent White House report on the options for changing Puerto Rico’s formal relationship to the U.S. mainland. The president may also visit projects that have benefited from the administration’s stimulus spending to aid the economy. Puerto Rico is home to nearly 4 million U.S. citizens but its residents cannot vote in the general presidential election, only in the primaries. Andres W. Lopez, a member of the Democratic National Committee from the island, said the president’s visit may also help him with Puerto Ricans on the mainland, particularly in South Florida, which is home to some 725,000 people of Puerto Rican descent and an important battleground state in the 2012 election. “I am certain that the 4 million Puerto Ricans who live on the mainland will be bursting with a real sense of ‘orgullo Boricua’ (Puerto Rican pride) when they see the respect that President Obama has shown to Puerto Rico,” Lopez said.
WASHINGTON (AP) — In a parting shot by one of the nation’s longest-serving Pentagon chiefs, Robert Gates on Tuesday warned that shrinking defense budgets will mean a smaller military and a diminished American role in the world. Gates, a self-described “old Cold Warrior” who will retire next month, said that barring a catastrophic world conflict or a new threat to the very existence of the GATES U.S., there will be no foreseeable return to the booming Pentagon budgets of the past decade. “The money and the political support simply aren’t there,” he said. This means the Obama administration and Congress must now decide how much military power the U.S. should give up, how that fits U.S. goals for maintaining global influence, and how to pay for it, Gates said. “A smaller military, no matter how superb, will be able to go fewer places and be able to do fewer things,” he said in a speech at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservativeleaning think tank that is generally hostile to defense cuts. His speech marked the culmination of a series of recent remarks in which Gates has acknowledged that the Pentagon’s free-spending ways are ending, while also cautioning against budget cuts so deep as to “hollow out” the military. Warning against a temptation for the country to lower its guard and relax when threats seem less pressing, he wants his legacy to be that he steered the Pentagon toward long-term stability.
Chrysler repays most of its bailout from governments STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. (AP) — With a few computer keystrokes, Chrysler Group LLC sent $7.6 billion to the U.S. and Canadian governments on Tuesday, paying off most of the bailout money that saved the company from financial disaster just two years ago. The repayment was another sign of the automaker’s comeback. In 2009, Chrysler almost ran out of cash and went into bankruptcy. Now it’s got a spiffy lineup of Jeeps and cars and just earned its first profit in five years. “A lot of us remember that until just a short time ago, in the eyes of most, Chrysler had been condemned to death,” CEO Sergio Marchionne told more than 1,000 workers gathered at a Chrysler factory outside Detroit. The group was celebrating paying back the government. The repayment means Chrysler removes the stigma of being a government ward. But it must stand on its own now. It also needs to keep overhauling a lineup that still depends on old Chrysler designs and larger vehicles that could fall out of favor because of high gasoline prices. Chrysler took $10.5 billion from the U.S. government to survive two years ago, and earlier had repaid some of the money. On Tuesday, it retired a $5.9 billion balance on the U.S. loans and $1.7 billion to the governments of Canada and Ontario.
Winfrey focuses on fans during emotional finale to talk show CHICAGO (AP) — In the end, it was just Oprah. For the final episode of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” taped Tuesday, the talk show queen appeared alone on her Chicago stage, talking to viewers about what they’ve meant to her during the show’s 25-year run. The finale will air on Wednesday. Fans leaving Tuesday’s taping said Winfrey had tears in her eyes as the television icon said a final thank you. “She said, ‘This isn’t goodbye. This is until we meet again,” said Amy Korin, 32, of Chicago, who was in the audience. Winfrey then kissed and hugged her longtime partner, Stedman Graham, and made her way through the halls of Harpo Studios, saying goodbye to her staff, audience members said. She kept saying, “We did it! We did it!,” Korin said, and giving employees high-fives.
K-12 education budget outlook School officials have yet to receive the specific allotment formula changes that would accompany the Senate-drafted state budget proposal. But one of the most notable changes from the House budget is the measure to reduce class size in kindergarten through third grades and to eliminate state funding for teacher assistants in every grade except kindergarten. “Under the Senate proposal, instead of receiving funding for 255 teacher assistants (based on projected K-3rd ADM), we would only receive funding for 66 assistant positions which is, of course, the removal of funding for 189 assistant positions,” Tara Trexler, chief financial officer with the Rowan-Salisbury School System, said in an e-mail to the Post. Trexler said the Senate version of the budget also eliminates deep cuts to at-risk, academically and intellectually gift (AIG) and limited English program.
CUTS FROM 1a Kannapolis district’s finance officer, said Tuesday. “Clearly, after the second year with the total faze out it would be extremely difficult with that loss of funds to overcome that.” Superintendent Dr. Pam Cain said she was surprised to hear the news Tuesday. “It was not in the governor’s budget or the House budget,” she said. “I think our parents and community will be very disheartened by this.” School board chairwoman Danita Rickard said though there has been talk of merging city and county school districts for years, the concept usually falls flat in committee. “I’m hoping the House budget will prevail” she said. Rickard said studies conducted by the school system and the Cabarrus County Commissioners have shown that merging the school districts would not save money. School board member Todd

Adams said it would be a “sad day” if legislators decide to slash funding for city schools. “I would expect costs to go up and performance to go down,” he said. “I’m afraid our students will get lost if we get rolled into the county school system. “I belive the success of our students is directly tied to the size of our system.” Rickard said being a small district has given Kannapolis an edge to keep students from falling through the cracks. “We know our kids, they’re not numbers to us,” she said. Crabtree said the measure would send Rowan and Cabarrus county students to their respective county school systems. But things could get sticky because facilties in both counties were built for using taxpayer dollars from each county. Crabtree said one example is Kannapolis Middle School, which physically sits in Cabarrus, but was built using bond money from Rowan. “If we were to split I could see that being an issue,” he
said. Ellen Boyd, the district’s director of community relations, said the nuts and bolts of cutting funding is “extremely complicated.” “You’re really disrupting the education of a lot of students across the state,” she said. “And you are taking people away from the core business of educating children while they are trying to work out the logistics.” Cain said she expects the community to rally behind the school system, just as they have to protest school cuts that forced layoffs. “It’s very clear that our parents and community are really vested in our schools,” she said. Rickard said now is the time for residents to step up. “They need to flood Sen. (Fletcher) Hartsell and Sen. (Andrew) Brock with phone calls,” she said. “They need to make their wishes known because they know where the school board and administrators stand.” Adams said he’d like to see the community fight back.
“We’ll lose a lot of our community identity if we lose our city schools,” he said. “If they’ve never called their representative before, if they’ve never been one to be politically active in the past, now is the time. “They haven’t seen a fight out of me yet, but I’ll fight as hard as I can to save Kannapolis City Schools.” Contact reporter Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.
NAACP president among 7 arrested at Legislature RALEIGH (AP) — The president of North Carolina’s NAACP and six other demonstrators were arrested Tuesday after some of them disrupted a session of the state House of Representatives shortly before a rally attacking the chamber’s proposed budget. The Rev. William Barber was briefly detained in the legislative building before being led outside in handcuffs by police officers. The NAACP said that those arrested with Barber included the state NAACP’s second vice president, the Rev. Curtis Gatewood; and Kojo Nantambu, the leader of the organization’s Charlotte chapter. The demonstrators were taken to the Wake County Public Safety Center to be booked on charges of disorderly conduct and trespassing, according to General Assembly Police Chief Jeff Weaver. The episode began Tuesday afternoon during a House floor session on an unrelated bill, when protesters stood in the gallery and began shouting at the lawmakers. A police escort removed them from the gallery, and some of the demonstrators began chanting “Do justice. Love mercy. Walk humbly with God.” The words are paraphrased from a verse in

FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — Fayetteville police say the tables quickly turned on two would-be purse-snatchers when more than a dozen of the victim’s family and friends attacked the suspects. The Fayetteville Observer reported that two men flashed a handgun and tried to rob Maria Guevara of her purse outside an apartment complex shortly after midnight Monday. That’s when 10 to 15 family members and friends rushed to her aid. Police say one of the alleged robbers fired into the crowd, prompting a chase that led to the suspects being captured, beaten, shot, and stabbed. One of the suspects was treated and released from a local hospital. The other was listed in critical condition Tuesday. Police say they haven’t filed charges yet as they continue the investigation.

RALEIGH (AP) — A North Carolina Highway Patrol trooper fired in 2003 for having sex on the job will receive two months of back pay. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that Wake Superior Court Judge Donald Stephens upheld the decision of the State Personnel Commission that the Highway Patrol was justified in firing Monty Poarch. An administrative judge had said Poarch should be reinstated because other troopers caught in similar or worse behavior had been allowed to remain on the force. The patrol and the Personnel Commission rejected the administrative judge’s opinion, so Poarch went to Superior Court. Stephens said Poarch was denied his rights during the investigation and should receive back pay for the twomonth period between his predismissal conference and his official termination.
the biblical book of Micah. The protesters are unhappy with a number of legislative actions this year, but the passage of the House budget bill most provoked their ire. The NAACP and affiliated groups charge that the cuts in the proposed spending plan will disproportionately hurt poor and middle class North Carolinians. Barber said he’s been trying to meet with House Speaker Thom Tillis to discuss the proposal, but to no avail. After Tillis ordered the men removed from the gallery, he told the assembled lawmakers he had agreed to meet with the demonstrators, but that the group had canceled. About an hour later, Tillis and Barber inadvertently came faceto-face as the civil rights leader was being led away in cuffs and the Mecklenburg County Republican was coming down an adjacent flight of stairs. “When I get a respectful request, I’ll be happy to meet with them,” Tillis told reporters and demonstrators. “When they treat my House with respect.” As Tillis walked away from the protesters, Barber called after him, “Don’t run from the people, Mr. Speaker!”

Salisbury’s Bradshaw heads west BY JORDAN HONEYCUTT sports@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — Alisha Bradshaw is coming off of her best season at Salisbury as a shot put and discus thrower, winning the 2A state championship in both events. Her success has garnered Bradshaw a scholarship to Western Carolina, where she plans to major in accounting. Bradshaw won the discus for the second consecutive year and is ready and excited to head to the mountains of Cullowhee and become a Catamount. Bradshaw was able to take home the state titles, despite not having her best throws of the year. Her winning shot put was a distance of 39 feet, 7 inches.
while her discus heave was 119 feet, 10 inches. She admitted she’s done better, including her recent efforts in the Midwest Regional. “I’ve been doing track and field since I was 8, but I never really thought about going to college for it until this year,” Bradshaw said. “When I started doing really well, colleges called and Western showed me that they really wanted me.” Bradshaw is walking into an excellent situation for a freshman. Western’s best thrower this year is a graduating senior. “Their coach told me that coming in, I would be his best girl and that I would compete in all of the meets, so I’m happy and excited that I’m going to get right to work,” Bradshaw said.
Alisha said probably the toughest thing for her about leaving home for college will be the climate change she will face in the mountains. “I’m definitely going to have to get used to that,” she said. “I don’t know about all of that cold and snow, but I’m sure I’ll be able to handle it.” Joining Alisha on her signing day in the cafeteria at Salisbury was her mother, Gloria. “Alisha has always worked very hard on her throwing and I am really proud and thrilled about her getting the chance to do track at Western,” Gloria said. “The coaches up there love her, and they all seem very nice.

Jurrjens shines In Braves win BY WILL GRAVES Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — Charlie Morton 2 rememBraves 0 b e r s Pirates watching Jair Jurrjens pitch while the two were teammates in Atlanta and marveling at Jurrjens’ stuff. “He was just dealing when I was there and I was just getting by,” Morton said with a laugh. A few years later, Jurrjens still has the upperhand. The 25year-old right-hander continued his JURRJENS s pa r k lin g spring, pitching six-hit ball into the eighth inning to lead the Braves to a 2-0 win over Morton and the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night.

but White kept Northwest (226) off the scoreboard. “We were just a little nervous today,” White said. White looked calm. She struck out 11, walked none and limited the Trojans to a pair of opposite-field singles. “Chelsea actually started a little slow this year, at least by her standards,” said East assistant Lonnie Barrier, who
KANNAPOLIS — East Rowan’s E. Rowan 2 softball NWC 0 team got some unlikely help from a timely leg cramp, and beat Northwest Cabarrus 2-0 in the third round of the 3A state playoffs on Tuesday. The victim/beneficiary of the cramp was East senior Chelsea White. A sudden pain in the star pitcher’s leg forced her to put on the brakes at first after she hit a rocket to the base of the center-field fence with two out in the sixth. “I was definitely going for a double,” White said. “Then I felt a cramp in my leg.” White would’ve made the third out had she tried for two. Her drive got to the fence in a hurry, and Northwest center fielder Michaela Boyd recovered the ball quickly and fired a strike to second base.

calls her pitches. “The last month, though, she’s been on. When we ask her to hit a spot, she doesn’t miss it. And if we make a mistake behind her, you would hate to be that next hitter because you know Chelsea is going to come back.” White always has experienced success against Northwest’s lineup. That didn’t change. Northwest’s most dangerous power hitter, Hannah Eudy, fanned three straight times. The top four in Northwest’s lineup, all all-star caliber players, went 0-for-12. “What I was most worried about was that we could lose on one swing,” White said. “It was tense when it was 0-0 for so long. They have some girls who can hit it out. I’ve played with some of them.” Kayla Kirk singled in the first inning for East and stole second, but Thomas popped up to end the inning. Thomas smashed a twoout double in the fourth, but Sydney Poole was called out

Pittsburgh never got a runner to third base while extending its scoreless streak to 19 innings. Alex Gonzalez had three hits and scored a run for the Braves, who scratched out just enough offense to end Morton’s three-game winning streak. Morton (5-2) continued his bounceback year, giving up seven hits while striking out four and walking three in seven-plus innings. Yet he couldn’t quite match Jurrjens, who has been electric through the season’s first two months. He had little trouble with the punchless Pirates, needing just 97 pitches — 71 strikes — to send Pittsburgh to its second straight shutout loss. Jurrjens’ control worsened

Dwyane W a d e Heat 101 was ailBulls 93 ing, so LeBron James and Chris Bosh more than picked up the slack. Then Wade found his groove at the perfect time, and the Miami Heat, the team put together solely to win championships, moved one emotional victory away from the NBA finals. James scored 35 points, Bosh added 22 and the Heat overcame an early 11-point deficit to beat the Chicago Bulls 101-93 on Tuesday night, taking a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference finals. Game 5 is Thursday in Chicago, when the Heat can wrap up their first finals trip since 2006. Wade went scoreless for nearly 33 straight minutes, before making a jumper with 2:08 left in overtime to help Miami keep the lead. And after James made a contested jumper with 29 seconds remaining for a six-point lead, Wade soared to block Derrick Rose’s layup from out of almost nowhere on the next Chicago possession. At long last, it was over. Bosh scored the first
four points of overtime, and the Heat — now 8-0 at home in the playoffs — never trailed in the extra session. James closed it with two free throws with 1.4 seconds left, his 12th and 13th of the night, all without a miss. Bosh was 10 for 11 from the line, and Miami outscored Chicago 3217 in that department. The Heat made their final 24 free throws. Rose scored 23 points for the Bulls, who got 20 apiece from Luol Deng and Carlos Boozer. Chicago has lost three straight games for the first time this season. But what this game will be remembered for was how the Heat rallied around Wade — then watched him save his best for the very end. The 2006 NBA finals MVP was in the arena late Monday night, trying to work on some things in one of his customary playoff after-dark sessions. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. This seemed like it would be the latter. Whatever answer he sought, he didn’t find for much of Game 4. Wade made just 5 of 16 shots from the field, lacking his usual lift at the rim. He made a pair of free throws with 1:50 left in the first half for his seventh and eighth points, and didn’t

Bobbi thomas hit out the first pitch she saw in the sixth.
on strikes to end the inning. In the fifth, Ally Mills singled and was sacrificed to second by Steffi Sides, but Jesse Rummage popped up. That’s how it went. And each time East missed a scoring chance, the pressure got a little more intense. “It was just nerve-wracking,” Thomas said. The tensest moments of all for East’s coaches and players came in the Northwest fifth. Leading off, Andrea Jones grounded a 3-2 pitch past White. Shortstop Ericka Nesbitt got to the ball but couldn’t make a clean pickup. Jones went to second when pitcher Katie Williford’s soft liner trickled out of first baseman Meagan Kluttz’s mitt. Kluttz got the out at first. Moments later, when a pitch from White caromed off Thomas’ mitt, Jones was at third with one out. “We were all expecting a bunt,” Thomas said. That’s what the Mustangs got, and it stayed airborne just long enough for White to charge in and catch it for a huge second out. A routine popup to Nesbitt ended the inning, and the Mustangs breathed a sigh of relief. Nesbitt led off the sixth with a groundball to short and appeared to have the throw to first beaten by a full step. Nonetheless, she was called out, and after an umpiring conference, she remained out.

Chelsea White got her 22nd win of the season.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 2011 • 3B The Mustangs already had been flustered by a call in the fifth when Kluttz appeared to take a pitch off her wrist. Instead, the ball was ruled to have struck her bat. She pointed to the bruise on her arm in vain as umpires conferred, but she was instructed to return to the batter’s box. She struck out on a 3-2 pitch. “We had a lot of things going against us,” East head coach Mike Waddell said. “We kept fighting through it.” It looked like Williford would have an easy sixth, but White’s single to the wall extended the inning. Fans were still marveling at the throw Boyd made when Thomas hit one out of sight. It was a nodoubter when it left the bat. “A nice little, two-out rally and some very good contact at the right time,” Waddell said. “I was so glad Bobbi jumped on that first pitch. She saw her bat hit that ball.” Thomas connected so perfectly that she felt nothing at all when bat met softball. But emotionally she felt plenty, breaking into a wide grin as she rounded first base and jogged toward the mob of teammates waiting for her at the plate. “We felt like it would come down to one inning with these two pitchers,” NWC coach Lori Treiber said. “Whoever got two hits back-to-back was going to win. We were just hoping it would go the other way.” With White pitching, 2-0 may as well have been 12-0. Northwest went down 1-2-3 in the sixth with two Ks. White struck out two more
in the seventh before Jones singled to right. East got the final out on a grounder that deflected off Kluttz’s glove. Poole, the second baseman, scooped up the ball and won a race to the bag. White hasn’t allowed a run in the playoffs. Thomas’ homer ended a five-game streak of shutouts for Northwest’s Williford, a freshman. “I wish Chelsea all the success in the world in college (Elon),” said Treiber, managing a small smile. “She’s done her job here well, but I’m glad it’s time for her to move on.” White’s job is not quite done. East advances to a fourth meeting — in Granite Quarry — with NPC rival North Iredell, a 3-2 winner against Robinson. A spot in the Final Four will be on the line. East swept the regular season meetings with North Iredell but lost to the Raiders in the NPC tournament final.

BRADSHAW FROM 1B think that is what Alisha and I liked the most about it.” No doubt, the Catamounts feel like bankrobbers because after the season Bradshaw had just turned in, she is definitely a steal to be headed to the Southern Conference. “I knew after going up there for my visit that it was the place for me, and I’m just so thankful to my coaches here at Salisbury for making me better and helping me to accomplish this,” Bradshaw said. “I’m going to work hard and hopefully continue this success in college.” Bradshaw is grateful to her mother and credited her for her success as well as her coaches. “I always told her to just find something that she liked to do and stick with it and get better and better at it and she has done that,” Gloria said. “I told her it would pay off one day and I’m glad to see that it has.” The signing party definitely belonged to Bradshaw. She never let the smile get erased from her face, even as Salisbury athletics director and football coach Joe Pinyan, an Appalachian State grad, was teasing her about her new status as a Catamount.
BRAVES FROM 1B as the game went on. He threw three balls total in the first three innings. “I looked up and I saw the ball-strike thing and I was like, ‘Is that right?’” Morton said. “He’s really good at throwing the ball where he wants with all his pitches.” He needed to be sharp to help the ailing Braves. Atlanta came to town on the last stop of a miserable road trip in which it dropped four out of five and put starting outfielders Jason Heyward and Nate McLouth on the disabled list with injuries. “Luckily we had JJ going tonight because we haven’t been scoring a lot of runs lately,” Atlanta first baseman Freddie Freeman said. “But when you get pitching like that — and our bullpen came in and shut it down — two runs was enough tonight.” Pittsburgh appeared to have found a groove last week, putting together a season-high four-game winning streak that pulled it within a game of .500. The Pirates scored 26 runs during the span but haven’t crossed the plate since doing it three times in the seventh inning of a 6-2 win over Detroit on Saturday.
HEAT FROM 1B score again until overtime. Better late than never. That was just the start for the Heat. Chicago turned the ball over on its next two possessions, Wade turned the second of those into a layup with 1:01 left for a 95-89 lead, and the Heat soon knew they were one win away from the title round. Mike Miller scored 12 for Miami. The fourth quarter was pure theater, both teams clearly knowing — clearly relishing — the stakes. Miami scored the first seven points for a 70-69 lead. Chicago took the lead back on a pair of free throws by Rose with 6:34 left, and Miami answered with a four-point possession — two free throws by Bosh after a flagrant foul against Boozer, followed by Miller making a jumper over Rose for a 78-77 edge. Back and forth from there, with the lead, the momentum, control of the series, all seeming to turn every time the ball crossed midcourt. Rose had a chance with 28 seconds left, his jumper from the left side hitting the rim and eventually being corralled by Miller. The Heat called time with 23 seconds

The AL roundup... BALTIMORE — Adam Jones capped a ninth-inning uprising with a two-run walkoff homer against Joakim Soria, giving Baltimore a 5-3 victory over Kansas City on Tuesday night. Jones hit an 0-2 pitch over the center-field wall to cap a three-run rally that gave Baltimore its third straight victory. The Orioles improved to 1-21 when trailing after eight innings. Baltimore trailed 3-2 entering the ninth. After one out, J.J. Hardy doubled off the glove of third baseman Wilson Betemit. Pinch-hitter Felix Pie then grounded a double inside third base to tie it. Soria (3-1) struck out Robert Andino before Jones connected. Red Sox 4, Indians 2 CLEVELAND — Josh Beckett picked up first regular-season win in Cleveland, where the Indians lost for just the fifth time at home.

Yankees 5, Blue Jays 4 NEW YORK — Curtis Granderson had a tying RBI single in the ninth inning then stole second before Mark Teixeira singled him home to give CC Sabathia and New York the win. The Yankees rallied for two runs in the eighth against relievers Casey Janssen and Marc Rzepczynski, and two in the ninth off Frank Francisco (1-2) for their sixth win in eight games. Robinson Cano had an RBI double in the eighth and Russell Martin followed with a run-scoring single. Sabathia (5-3) retired the final 16 batters in his first complete game at home for the
Yankees. Tigers 7, Rays 6 DETROIT — Alex Avila’s second homer of the game gave Detroit the lead in the eighth inning. Miguel Cabrera hit a three-run homer in the fifth, giving him 34 RBIs this season, to help Detroit win its third straight.

Twins 4, Mariners 2 MINNEAPOLIS — Nick Blackburn came through with a desperately needed complete game and Denard Span had three hits and an RBI to lift Minnesota.

The NFL notebook... KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Hundreds of cars lined up all day Tuesday in the Arrowhead Stadium parking lot as the Kansas City Chiefs filled two semitrailer trucks with bottled water for tornado victims in Kansas and Missouri. Chiefs spokesman Brad Gee said the team also collected “a significant amount of financial donations” for the victims in Reading, Kan., and Joplin, Mo. The Chiefs are donating $35,000 to the relief effort. While Chiefs cheerleaders danced and went through their routines, the team collected bottled water from both individuals and Kansas City-area businesses in the day-long effort. In total, they estimated people brought about 3,000 cases to the Arrowhead Stadium parking lot in the day-long effort. “The response was incredible,” Gee said. “One man brought in four pallets of water himself. A lot of people also wanted to make financial donations.” Told by the Missouri State Emergency Management Agency that additional supplies were also needed, the Chiefs on Wednesday also planned to collect work gloves, heavy-duty construction trash bags, flashlights and batteries of all sizes. Owner Clark Hunt and general manager Scott Pi-
oli planned to be on hand in Lot C for part of Wednesday’s collection, helping loads trucks and accept donations. The Chiefs are also teaming with the Salvation Army to collect financial donations for Heart-to-Heart International. More than 100 people were killed in the tornado that hit Joplin on Sunday. Earlier, one man died and dozens of homes were destroyed in the eastern Kansas community of Reading. MANNING SURGERY • INDIANAPOLIS — Colts star quarterback Peyton Manning had neck surgery Monday in Chicago to repair a disk problem. It’s the second neck surgery since February 2010 for Manning. The previous was to repair a pinched nerve, and this operation was less invasive and less complicated, team owner Jim Irsay said Tuesday at the NFL meetings. “He had a bulging disk,” Irsay said of the NFL’s only four-time league MVP. “The doctors removed a part of it. “It’s usually a six-to-eight week recovery period. I think this is one you can bounce back from quickly.” The surgery was performed at Chicago’s Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Manning was back at home Tuesday. Even though the NFL has locked out its players, communication between teams and players in these cases is allowed.

The NL roundup... PHILADELPHIA — Jay Bruce hit a tiebreaking, three-run double in the ninth inning and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-3 Tuesday night to snap a six-game losing streak. The Reds had lost eight straight against NL Eastleading Philadelphia, including a three-game sweep in last year’s division playoff series. Bruce came in swinging a hot bat. He had four homers in the last five games and was tied for the NL lead with 12. But he struck out three times and popped out in his first four at-bats before clearing the bases against Ryan Madson (2-1). Rockies 12, Diamondbacks 4, 1st game Diamondbacks 5, Rockies 2, 2nd game DENVER — Carlos Gon-
left, 18 seconds on the shot clock, everyone in the building probably thinking the play would be set up for James. It was. And it never got a chance for liftoff. Referee Bennett Salvatore called James for an offensive foul with 8 seconds left, saying Ronnie Brewer beat him to the spot as the two-time MVP tried to back down the right side of the lane. So instead of winning the game late in regulation, James had to simply try to send it to overtime with defense. He guarded Rose on the final possession before overtime, forcing the Chicago guard into a taking a jumper that fell way short, and off to an extra 5 minutes they went. A day after being fined $50,000 for directing an anti-gay slur at a fan in Game 3, Bulls center Joakim Noah had six points and 14 rebounds in 45 minutes. And there seemed to be very little, if any, unusual rancor from Miami fans toward Noah. Chicago’s lead was 46-44 at halftime, after some wild emotional swings — a 19-4 run by the Bulls, followed by a 29-9 spurt for the Heat, then capped by an 18-7 rebuttal by the Bulls to close the second quarter.
zalez homered twice and Colorado became the first team to decipher Josh Collmenter’s tomahawk-pitching style, rallying past Arizona despite losing pitcher Jorge De La Rosa to a torn elbow ligament in the opener of a day-night doubleheader. Then the Rockies lost the nightcap when Joe Saunders (1-5) snapped his six-game losing streak and Kelly Johnson hit a solo homer and had one of three RBI doubles off Jhoulys Chacin (5-3) in the sixth inning. Colorado manager Jim Tracy was ejected in the third inning of Game 2 after arguing a call at home plate. Dodgers 5, Astros 4 HOUSTON — Jerry Sands hit a grand slam and Jay Gibbons also homered as Los Angeles snapped a three-game losing streak with a win over Houston. Astros starter J.A. Happ (36) walked Jamey Carroll with two outs in the third inning before a single by James Loney.
Matt Kemp reached on an error by second baseman Bill Hall to set up the slam by Sands. The home run by Gibbons in the second put Los Angeles up 1-0. Dodgers starter Chad Billingsley (3-4) yielded five hits and four runs with nine strikeouts in six innings to get his first win this month. Javy Guerra pitched a perfect ninth for his first major league save. Cubs 11, Mets 1 CHICAGO — Ryan Dempster pitched seven effective innings, Starlin Castro had three hits and two RBIs and Chicago pounded the stumbling New York Mets. The Cubs kicked off a ninegame homestand with their 11th victory in their past 12 games against NL East teams, hours after putting right-hander Matt Garza on the 15-day disabled list with elbow stiffness. Brewers 7, Nationals 6 MILWAUKEE — Jonathan
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Catawba product Jerry Sands, center, is greeted by teammates Matt Kemp and James Loney after his first career grand slam. Lucroy hit a two-out, two-run single in the eighth inning and Brandon Boggs collided into catcher Wilson Ramos to score the go-ahead run, rallying Milwaukee past Washington.
The Brewers have won 12 of 15 overall and have their longest winning streak in the 11-year history of Miller Park at eight games, though this one certainly didn’t come easily.
Fuentes stands behind his words Associated Press
BASEBALL ANAHEIM, Calif. — Veteran reliever Brian Fuentes did not back down from the comments he made about manager Bob Geren’s lack of communication with him about his late-inning role with the Oakland Athletics following Monday night’s loss to the Angels. The only thing the fourtime All-Star left-hander regretted was venting his frustrations to the media instead of Geren himself. And before Tuesday night’s game they had a closed-door meeting in Geren’s office, where they apparently resolved their differences. “I meant what I said and I stand behind what I said. It was just the wrong outlet,” Fuentes said at his locker. “I heard a lot of criticism on why there weren’t discussions with the manager first before going to the media. From the outside in, it appears one way, and it’s really not. “There had been discus-
sions. There had been multiple discussions, and I felt like it wasn’t getting anywhere. It was more of a frustration thing. It still wasn’t right what I did, but it wasn’t getting through.” Geren was satisfied with the results of the meeting, and said there would be no disciplinary fallout. “I gave Brian my thoughts, he gave me his thoughts, we shook hands and everything’s fine,” said Geren, who had been using Fuentes to close in place of the injured Andrew Bailey. “We’ve lost some games and people are frustrated. • NEW YORK — Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo and catcher Ivan Rodriguez were penalized by Major League Baseball for verbally confronting umpires in a stadium tunnel after a disputed call last week. Rodriguez was fined an undisclosed amount, MLB spokesman Pat Courtney said. Courtney confirmed Rizzo was disciplined, but provided no specifics. In general, penalties for non-uniformed personnel involve fines. The Nationals were upset
after Jayson Werth was called out by first-base umpire Phil Cuzzi in the ninth inning of Thursday’s 1-0 loss to the New York Mets.
NCAA BASKETBALL STATE COLLEGE, Pa.— Coach Ed DeChellis, who led Penn State to the NCAA tournament this year, resigned to take the vacant job at Navy. The 15-year coaching veteran said he found “a calling” in announcing the surprise move two months after orchestrating his alma mater’s first NCAA bid in a decade. The Nittany Lions lost to Temple, 66-64, in the second round. • BOONE — A Sampson and a Capel will be on the same basketball bench again. It’s just that the names and locations have changed. Appalachian State coach Jason Capel on Monday hired Kellen Sampson to fill an opening on his staff. Sampson is the son of former Indiana coach Kelvin Sampson, who was forced to resign following recruiting violations. He’s now an assistant with the Milwaukee Bucks.
NCAA FOOTBALL WEST POINT, N.Y. — Joe Steffy, who helped pave the way for Heisman trophy winners Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis on some of Army’s best teams and won the Outland Trophy as the nation’s top lineman in 1947, has died. He was 85. Army announced that Steffy died at St. Luke’sCornwall Hospital’s Newburgh campus on Saturday. He had dealt heart problems in recent years. Steffy played both offense and defense on Army’s 1945 and 1946 undefeated teams under coach Earl “Red” Blaik. Steffy was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1987. Steffy served in the Korean War and received a Bronze Star and Purple Heart.

Parcel ID 477.038 Trustee may, in the Trustee's sole discretion, delay the sale for up to one hour as provided in NCGS 45-21.23. Should the property be purchased by a third party, that party must pay the excise tax, as well as the court costs of Forty-Five Cents ($0.45) per One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) required by NCGS 7A-308(a)(1). The property to be offered pursuant to this notice of sale is being offered for sale, transfer and conveyance "AS IS, WHERE IS." Neither the Trustee nor the holder of the note secured by the deed of trust/security agreement, or both, being foreclosed, nor the officers, directors, attorneys, employees, agents or authorized representative of either the Trustee or the holder of the note make any representation or warranty relating to the title or any physical, environmental, health or safety conditions existing in, on, at or relating to the property being offered for sale, and any and all responsibilities or liabilities arising out of or in any way relating to any such condition expressly are disclaimed. Also, this property is being sold subject to all taxes, special assessments, and prior liens or encumbrances of record and any recorded releases. Said property is also being sold subject to applicable Federal and State laws. A cash deposit or cashier's check (no personal checks) of five percent (5%) of the purchase price, or seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00), whichever is greater, will be required at the time of the sale.

Reasons of such inability to convey include, but are not limited to, the filing of a bankruptcy petition prior to the confirmation of the sale and reinstatement of the loan without the knowledge of the trustee.

Some help for choosing probiotics Dear Dr. Gott: In a recent column in the Monterey County (Calif.) Herald, you suggested a woman try an array of products, including probiotics that might help her overcome flatulence. Would you be kind enough to write a column explaining the uses of DR. PETER probiotics, inGOTT cluding the way in which a person would select the appropriate product? The quantity and range of these products is dizzying and confusing, and the “expertise” is limited, at best. Doctors and other practitioners seldom (in my experience) specify what sort of probiotics to buy and merely suggest that we go to a good health-food store. That is not helpful. When we go to a good health-food store, we find ourselves confronted with product names and ingredients that are completely unfamiliar. Worse, these products contain a range of ingredients that, presumably, are intended to treat a wide range of con-

ditions. But the packages don’t give specific information. Also, probiotics may come in capsule form and be stable at room temperature, or they may come in powder form and require refrigeration and mixing just prior to use. How are we to know which is best? My husband and I were desperate for a probiotic following courses of antibiotics to treat (of all things — we’re in our 70s!) whooping cough. We did find, with the help of a salesperson at our local health-food store, JarroDophilus EPS, which comes in capsule form and can be taken up to four times a day. We began with the four and, after a couple of weeks, were able to cut the dosage down to one per day. It has been helpful, but I have no idea whether it would be the right dose in every case or not. And I have no idea whether this is something we should continue to take. Dear Reader: Probiotics are live microorganisms, referred to as “good” bacteria, used to treat illness and support wellness. Good bacteria within the body are essential for proper development of the immune system, as they protect against harmful microorgan-
isms that could cause disease. They aid digestion and help with the absorption of nutrients. Probiotics can balance the effects of skin; vaginal, respiratory and stomach infections; irritable bowel syndrome; may reduce the severity of a cold or flu; and are used to treat diarrhea brought on by the use of antibiotics. They are available in specific foods and as dietary supplements in powder, tablet and capsule forms. Food items with good bacteria include yogurts, some juices, fermented and unfermented milk, soy beverages, soybeans and soybean paste popular for Asian cooking. The U.S. Department of Agriculture does not regulate dietary supplements. Therefore, a probiotic can be marketed and sold with minimal or absolutely no research available on its safety or on how well it works. Therefore, it is critical that readers check with their personal physicians before beginning a regimen. Dietary supplements can cause side effects, may cause allergic reactions, and can interfere with other medications. The safety of probiotics has not been studied long enough
to make specific recommendations as to which type of ingestion is best, with consideration of age, dosing and treatment of individuals with compromised immune systems being factors. Labeling varies, and there are more than 25 different supplements from which to choose, each with its own guidelines for use — for boosting the immune system, not for specific problems! With some, the organisms are released into the stomach within 30 minutes of ingestion. Once you discontinue the probiotic, the cells clear the body within five to seven days. Beyond this, I cannot offer precise information for varied disorders. The field is simply too vague. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online. His website is www.AskDrGottMD.com. United FeatUre Syndicate
Christopher Meloni not returning to ‘Law & Order SVU’ LOS ANGELES (AP) — Christopher Meloni isn’t coming back to NBC’s “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” when it returns this fall. The actor and Universal Media Studios were unable
United FeatUre Syndicate
to come to terms on a new contract, according to a person familiar with the situation, who spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity because NBC and the studio had not authorized public comment.
Meloni’s co-star, Mariska Hargitay, will be back for the upcoming season, the show’s 13th, the person said. Meloni portrayed Detective Elliot Stabler, a family man and veteran of an elite squad that investigates
crimes with a sexual aspect. Hargitay was his partner, Detective Olivia Benson, who joined the squad because she was conceived in a rape. The show features Dann Florek, Tamara Tunie, Richard Belzer, B.D. Wong and Ice-T.
In “The Nine Master Keys of Management,” Lester R. Bittel wrote, “Good plans shape good decisions. That’s why good planning helps to make elusive dreams come true.” Bridge deals often require good planning. And good decisions may lead to an elusive dream — making an “impossible” contract. In this layout, how can South make four spades? West leads a low club. The defenders take two tricks in the suit, then shift to diamonds. South did well to choose four spades over four hearts. With the bad major-suit breaks, four hearts fails if East leads either minor suit. West led a club, not a diamond, because his clubs were stronger — a sensible decision. It is normal to win the third (or fourth) trick with dummy’s diamond ace, then to run the spade jack. When that finesse wins, declarer continues with dummy’s spade 10, covered by the king and ace, with West discarding a minor-suit card. Now South must get back to the dummy to play a spade to his eight, draw East’s last trump, and run dummy’s hearts. If he gets careless, leading the heart five to dummy’s jack, he will fail here. Since dummy has the critical heart nine and East is highly unlikely to have four cards in both spades and hearts, declarer should lead his heart king (or queen) and overtake with dummy’s ace. Then, after a spade to his eight, the spade queen and
heart queen (or king), South can play a heart to dummy’s nine, run that suit, and end with an overtrick.

Yesterday\'s severe weather event for the Plains will continue through the night and morning hours across the southern Plains, then shift eastward towards the Mississippi Valley later in the day. The most threatening storms will likely occur in the morning hours on Wednesday, with dangerous tornadoes possible in the early morning. Residents of the southern Plains should be alert to rapidly changing weather conditions and be prepared for numerous tornadoes. As the focus shifts eastward later in the day, conditions will be slightly less favorable for severe weather development, which should help to spare some of the more highly populated areas to the east from some of the highest risk of tornadoes. Despite the lower risk, the region will still see tornadoes late in the day, they will just be less numerous. The Northeast will see clearing conditions on Wednesday as yesterday\'s thunderstorms move out to sea, replaced by high pressure and clear skies. Temperatures should be pleasant, with highs in the 70s for most locations outside of the higher mountains. The Southeast will also see generally pleasant conditions, but temperatures during the middle of the day will be quite warm with high humidity. In the West, late season rains will push through Northern California and the Northwest. Precipitation will make it as far south as the San Francisco Bay Area along the coast, then move into the Sierras where some heavy high elevation snow is possible.
