General Mills to join North Carolina Research Campus BY EMILY FORD
eford@salisburypost.com
CHARLOTTE — General Mills will focus on vegetable and whole grain research when the cereal giant joins the N.C. Research Campus. The addition of General Mills helps define a “nutritionag angle” that is forming at the Research Campus, said Clyde Higgs, vice president for business development for Research Campus developer Castle & Cooke. Other high-profile campus tenants interested in boosting the nutritional value of food include Monsanto and Dole Food.
General Mills, the maker of Cheerios and Wheaties, will have the best name recognition of any company at the campus. Founder David H. Murdock, chairman of Dole Food Co., opened the campus in 2008. Another well-known company, PepsiCo, last year backed out of an agreement to join the campus, citing the recession. Minneapolis-based General Mills will lease a 1,500-square-foot space in the Core Laboratory Building, company spokesperson Maerenn Jepsen said. Two General Mills employees will begin work in Kannapolis next month, Jepsen said. The company is expected to release more details in June about the research it will conduct and how
many employees will work in Kannapolis. Companies are attracted to the Research Campus because they have access to state-of-the-art equipment and the opportunity to work with scientists from branches of eight North Carolina universities who are studying health, nutrition and agriculture. Opening a lab in Kannapolis is an investment for General Mills, Higgs said. “It will help them with their product line at the end of the day,” he said. General Mills’ decision to join the campus “endorses Murdock’s vision,” Higgs said. Companies that General Mills al-

Salisbury Tutoring Academy founder Beatrice Hair shakes hands with President Obama. Hair is the N.C. Small Business Person of the Year.
Small business owner celebrates in Washington, D.C. BY SHELLEY SMITH
ssmith@salisburypost.com
As President Barack Obama urged Congress to pass a $30 billion small business jobs package while also honoring the Small Business Association’s (SBA) business persons of the year in the White House Rose Garden, Salisbury business owner Beatrice Hair sat in the front row. “This is an issue that involves putting our government on the side of the small-business owners who create most of the jobs in this country,” Obama said Tuesday. Hair, the 2010 North Carolina Small Business Person of the Year and founder of Salisbury Tutoring Academy, is celebrating her accomplishment all week in Washington, D.C. during National Small Business Week. “The Small Business Association has rolled out the red carpet,” Hair said. Meeting Obama and hearing him speak, was “unbelievable,” she said. “It was surreal to actually be sitting there,” she said. “He encouraged us that we are the people that run the small businesses, and that he was there to honor us.” Hair was one of about 12

people who Obama shook hands with, and the only one he got a photo with. “I was awestruck,” she said. “You can see a person on TV. But when you’re literally there, it’s close contact. I could see everything he was about as a person, and the strength in which he was conveying his message.” Hair said Obama stressed that America’s economy was counting on the small business owners. “He taught us the economy is riding on people like us to take risks, which has been the across-the-board message,” she said. Sunday night, upon her arrival to the week-long event, the SBA welcomed all 2010 business persons by flashing their businesses on large screens, along with a banner with her name and business. Hair said the reception Sunday and events since have been filled with many different people, “who are just excited about their work.” “Hundreds of people here are actually passionate about what they do,” she said. “It’s very refreshing and inspirational. I feel like I’ve just made lifelong friends here.” Hair has also met several

congressmen and senators, and was interviewed by a local television station, with the reporter asking her what it was like to start a business from scratch. “I’ve put Salisbury on the map,” she said. “I feel really proud to be a North Carolinian.” During a gathering party in the same room where the president holds events such as the inaugural ball, Hair and other business people received a special message from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. “She was videotaped in China telling us to keep doing what we’re doing, share your ideas and take your business global,” Hair said. She said her students back in Salisbury were anxious to hear the stories about her trip, and for her return. Terry Dwayne Lark James W. McKenzie John ‘Elmer’ Goodman Frankie Hartsell Hallie B.

Her biggest thanks for the entire experience goes to the University of Phoenix, she said. “They customized my master’s degree for me so that I could get my master’s while I was working,” she said, noting that the University of Phoenix customized her online learning just as she does for Salisbury Tutoring Academy students. “This is like an unbelievable, once-in-a-lifetime, breathtaking experience,” she said.

House discusses mobility fund BY KARISSA MINN
kminn@salisburypost.com
While the state Senate’s $19 billion budget does not include a new transportation fund that would help pay for the widening of Interstate 85 around the Yadkin River Bridge, the N.C. House is still considering such a fund, albeit a smaller one than first envisioned. According to Gov. Bev Perdue’s budget proposal, the N.C. Mobility Fund would be used “for multi-modal transportation projects of statewide significance that are linked to statewide economic goals.” The first of these projects would be the widening of a 6.8-mile section of I-85 on either side of the Yadkin River Bridge. This second phase of the I-85 Corridor Improvement Project is now estimated to cost between $120 million and $130 million. In her proposed budget, Purdue would generate money for the fund by raising automobile and light truck registration fees, drivers license record fees and other miscellaneous registration fees. Another $22 million would come from a reduction in the annual distribution of money from the Highway Trust Fund to the General Fund. This would add up to $94.6 million for the first year of the recurring N.C. Mobility Fund. The Senate passed its version of the budget Thursday without the fund. N.C. Sen. Andrew Brock, a Republican who represents Rowan County, said legislators are uncomfortable with raising fees in a down economy.

Higgs appeared at the Charlotte Regional Partnership Annual Awards Luncheon. General Mills representatives did not attend the announcement. “We see this partnership as a unique opportunity to collaboratively uncover solutions that could improve the nutrition of food, including whole grains and vegetables,” Lane Johnson, director of agricultural research for General Mills, said in a state-
ment. About 70 percent of the space at the Research Campus is leased, Higgs said. The David H. Murdock Research Institute owns and operates the Core Lab Building. The state leases two large scientific research buildings and a biotech training center for Rowan-Cabarrus Community College. However, not all of the leased space is not filled, Higgs said. General Mills operates in more than 100 countries and markets more than 100 consumer brands, including Häagen-Dazs, Nature Valley, Betty Crocker, Pillsbury and Green Giant. The company had global net sales of $15.9 billion last year.

By better understanding disease, researchers can develop new therapies that are safer, targeted to the right patients and more effective in prevention and treatment of disease, Dr. Louis Matis, president and CEO of the Immune Tolerance Institute said in a release. In Kannapolis, the new center will pursue the identification of biomarkers, which can help diagnose disease and develop drug therapies. Biomarkers also can aid in predicting the course of a disease and how a patient’s will respond to a medicine. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration points to biomarkers as one of the most critical areas for improving medical product development, shortening development times, reducing both costs and failure rates in drug development and guiding bet-
ter-informed patient selection for targeted therapies. The center in Kannapolis will try to find new ways to investigate the biological mechanisms of disease, as well as better predict the efficacy and safety of new medicines. “Such efforts have the potential to enhance human health and disease management and reverse the recent trends that have led to higher costs of medicine and slowed the pace of new treatment development,” Dr. Mike Luther, president of the Murdock Research Institute said in a statement. Research Campus founder and Dole Food Co. chairman David Murdock established the Murdock Research Institute as a nonprofit organization to support groundbreaking research at the Research Campus. The Murdock Research Institute boasts one of the most complete life sciences labs in the world, which attracts collaborators like the Immune Tolerance Institute.

Replacement of the bridge itself will be paid for with $10 million from a federal TIGER grant and $20 million in DOT Division 9 Transportation Improvement Program funding. The rest of the $136 million total will be funded with GARVEE bonds. “We want to establish this mobility fund so that down road, this will be used for major projects, and it will be outside the equity formula,” Coates said. “These projects ought not to be (ruled by) the equity formula, because, my lands, they don’t just benefit District 9, they benefit the whole East Coast.” Brock agrees that the equity formula is flawed, but he doesn’t support the N.C.

School board presents pared-down capital outlay budget BY KATHY CHAFFIN
kchaffin@salisburypost.com
In presenting the proposed 2010-11 capital outlay budget to the Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education Monday evening, Assistant Superintendent Gene Miller said, “It’s hardly even worth mentioning because there’s not much there to talk about.” With the exception of $300,000 designated for matching funds projects in the schools, Miller said the
$2,099,000 budget “is really kind of for the emergency things and safety things that come up.” The proposed budget is down from this year’s $2.6 million capital outlay budget and less than half of the 2008-09 capital outlay budget of $5.43 million. “That’s the ugly part of the budget,” Miller told board members. One reason for the lower budget is Gov. Bev Perdue’s diversion of the state money for
capital projects in public schools to the general fund for the second year in a row. In 2008-09, the Rowan-Salisbury School System received $2.36 million in state capital funding. Another reason is the $2.27 million payment the school system is having to make toward the 1992 bond debt. “That is really the crux of our problems right now,” Miller said on Tuesday. “We’d have an extra $5 million if we didn’t have to pay all this bond debt, but we do ...
“The agreement at that time was that the Board of Education would pay the principal and the county commissioners would pay the interest. We’ve got until 2015 or 2016 before that’s paid for.” Miller, who is responsible for school system operations, divided the proposed capital outlay expenditures into three categories: land, buildings and improvements, $1,615,000; furniture and equipment, $460,000; and vehicle purchases, $24,000.
The largest expenditures in the land, buildings and improvements category are as follows: $690,000 for alterations and additions (per schedule); $150,000 for high school athletic renovations; $150,000 for roof replacements (per schedule); and $150,000 for security systems/telephones. Though the athletic renovations appropriation is not earmarked for any particular schools, Miller told board members there are several

And he will have the authority to make necessary institutional decisions. “Our choice to appoint Dave as interim president is not only a reflection of his extensive and effective business leadership, but also his integrity, ability to create partnerships and maintain strong confidence among groups, proven financial expertise, excellent communication skills, and his commitment to Pfeiffer,” said Greg Hunter, chairman of the Pfeiffer board of trustees. “As a result, we are confident that he will best serve the university through this time of transition.” McIlquham, who lives in New London, brings extensive experience to Pfeiffer.

“It’s absolutely fitting to paint them,” she said. She donated the 8-by-10-inch oil painting to the store. Daphne Safrit said the picture will go on display next week, after it has had enough time to dry. Employee Gary Thornburg said it was fitting to have the three cats captured artistically. “They add a little joy to everyone’s day,” Thornburg said. Each cat has its own distinct personality. Goethe is pronounced “Gerta,” since they found out she’s a girl after they’d named her for the male German philosopher. She can usually be found by the register, keeping an eye on business. Dickens, the long-haired cat, usually slumbers somewhere out of reach, but sometimes comes out to meow at passing customers. And Oscar, the only male of the group, often makes the leather sofa toward the back of the store his perch. The cats take turns sunning in the window among the books on display. “They greet you at the door,” regular customer Kathleen Tronsor said. While Daphne Safrit was ringing up her purchases, Tronsor was petting Goethe. “Every store needs a kitty-cat,” Tronsor said.

CHINA GROVE — Property owners may face a tax hike, the first such increase in years. The town board proposed an increase during its Tuesday budget session, the third of a series. The suggestion was to increase the current 38 cents tax rate to 43 cents per $100 of assessed value, the highest it’s been in at least six years. In 2008, that town board decreased the 40 cents tax rate to 38 cents, where it’s remained since that time. One of the options was to raise the property tax and include a solid waste fee increase,
When Jack Eller was running for sheriff, he frequently complained about break-ins all over Rowan County and lack of action by the Sheriff’s Office. Now Eller, who lost in the May 4 primary, is the latest victim. Thieves stole 17 guns from a duplex owned by Eller, his wife, Teresa Sides Eller, and his son, Jonathan. Among the guns was a .357 Smith & Wesson, a retirement gift from Rowan ELLER County to Glenn Sides upon his retirement from the Sheriff’s Office. Eller, the self-proclaimed mayor of Woodleaf, left no doubt about his feelings: “I’m pissed off.” But he has more guns. “They didn’t steal all my damn guns, I got enough to kill the one that took them,” Eller said Tuesday. He’s particularly upset by the theft of six pistols that belonged to Sides, his father-in-law. Sides had left the guns to his grandson, Jonathan Eller, when he died. Jack and his wife, Teresa, say the list of guns stolen includes shotguns, rifles and the six pistols. They estimated the value at more than $5,000.

Planning Board votes to rezone properties BY SHELLEY SMITH

but the overall consensus from the board was to just drop the fees. The two proposals were for either a $5 a month or $10 a month solid waste fee. Councilman Charles Seaford said it didn’t make sense to increase this year and again in the next budget year. “We need to look two to three years down the road,” said councilman Lee Withers. Councilman Ron Overcash said if the board raised taxes by 5 cents then they should drop the fee increase. “Just because our neighbor charges a fee doesn’t mean China Grove should,” he said.
The Salisbury Planning Board voted in favor of rezoning 23 acres off Henderson Grove Church Road, changing the property from light industrial (LI) to heavy industrial (HI). The land, owned by Dyke Messinger, is adjacent to a recently rezoned piece of property owned by John Leatherman. Leatherman’s acreage was also rezoned to HI. “It will be important to have land use planning along this corridor in the future,” Preston Mitchell, senior planner for Salisbury, told the board. “Clearly the capital investments have been made. Now the private property owners are starting to respond to those capital investments made along Town Creek.” Mitchell told the board HI meant that one could have fabrication and processes occurring both within an building and outdoors. “Noise, odor and fumes are the issues you really begin to deal with with heavy industrial,” he said. Two board members, Karen Alexander and Albert Stout, voted against the rezoning. “If you’ve ever lived in the country before, there’s no such thing as a buffer when it comes to heavy industrial noise,” he said, noting the 400 feet buffer required for HI. “I understand the wisdom of the Salisbury City Council, but I have to deal with my own conscience.

Literary Bookpost on Main Street is probably known to many just as “the bookstore with the cats.” Three black felines, Goethe, Dickens and Oscar, make the store their own. “They give the store a lot of character,” said owner Deal Safrit. Now, thanks to a visiting author and artist, they are immortalized on canvas. Emily Eve Weinstein, painter and author of several books of art — including a book of cat portraits — was in town Saturday to celebrate the closing of an exhibition at Waterworks Visual Arts Center. She held a reception and signing at Literary Bookpost, with an unusual twist. “I hate to drive this far and not do something special,” Weinstein said. In her painter’s clothes, with easel and palette at the ready, she proceeded to paint a picture of the Literary Bookpost’s aisle with three black cats on the prowl. As she painted, she talked to guests about technique and shared stories of her art. Her most recent book, “Saving Magic Places,” is an artistic journal of landmarks preserved through the efforts of diverse groups of people. Landscapes, buildings and people populate
needs, including a rubberized surface for the track at East Rowan High School. Miller said the school system’s roofs are generally in good shape due to an aggressive replacement and repair schedule prior to the economy going sour. “We don’t have very many major roofs leaking right now,” he said Tuesday. “It would be nice to go ahead and stay on our schedule.

and I can’t agree with it a second time.” Alexander also spoke about the buffer zone, claiming that 400 feet, which is equivalent to one block in downtown Salisbury, is not enough. “Except for the occasional sliver, all heavy industrial zoned land is being used,” Mitchell said. “It is important to have heavy industrial land within your zoning jurisdiction.” The board also voted in favor of the rezoning of a property owned by Livingstone College — 721 Old Plank Road. The property is a 2,500square-foot house, which the college will use for meeting and event space. State Alexander, director of public relations for the college, spoke in favor of the rezoning, and the board voted unanimously in favor of the rezoning. Both rezoning requests will be brought before the Salisbury City Council on June 15. Also discussed in detail was the Comprehensive Bicycle Plan. “The staff is certainly in support of the plan,” Mitchell said. “The plan is a vision. It sets our goals and objectives, it establishes policies and standards, and also provides recommendations to the city. “The plan is not a development project.” The mission statement for the plan is: “To develop Salisbury as a bicycle friendly community for the pursuits of transportation, recreation and environmental and human health.” The board was given a nearly one-hour review of the plan, but agreed to select a committee to go over the plan in detail, and address any question any planning board member may have. Mitchell said the bicycle plan would be flexible. “This wouldn’t be considered an appendix of the 2020 Plan, just another long-range plan in your toolbox,” he said.
HIKE
FROM 3A The increase would bring in more than $109,000 to the budget and possibly keep the town from borrowing from the fund balance to balance the budget. The town staff went back to see if there were cuts they could make after last week’s meeting. The staff came up with more than $60,200 in cuts to the administration, governing body, community development, planning and the parks and recreation budgets. The staff recommended cutting out all contracted services, which includes town consultant, Ron Niland, with All American Associates. The staff also suggested trimming down on the days Community Planner Emily Jackson works for the town to just one day a week. Jackson, of Benchmark CMR Inc., currently handles planning and zoning matters for the town a couple of days a week. The Parks and Recreation Department typically doesn’t spend all of its budget each year, said Town Manager Bill Pless. Last year the parks and recreation department was budgeted with more than $75,547 and its estimated it’ll use about $61,872 at the end of this fiscal year. This coming year the estimated budget to that department will fall somewhere at $70,500. The issue the board continued to struggle with was balancing the sewer/water budget. The sewer/water budget is not balanced, but stands at more than $1.9 million combined. China Grove receives water from Salisbury-Rowan Utilities. At the time the town entered into a contract with Salisbury it used more water than it does now, but they are still billed for the old amount. The town is in talks with Salisbury about a possible merger that would help reduce its rates or to renegotiate the contract terms. The contract ends in seven years. Public Utilities Director Kent Mishak cleared up some misconceptions among the board. He said although the town doesn’t always use the 300,000 gallons they are charged by Salisbury-Rowan
Stout questioned the need for the plan. “It is consistent with the 2020 plan to have a community more bicycle (and pedestrian focused),” said Dan Mikkelson, city engineer for Salisbury. “When the City Council authorized for staff to apply for this grant, the City Council made the decision that this is a step in the right direction.” Mikkelson said the same has held true for sidewalk construction throughout the city. “Everywhere we’ve installed sidewalks, pedestrians have begun to use it,” he said. Stout asked if the city has studied the amount of bicycle traffic accidents in the past year. Board member Bill Wagoner noted the bicycle plan stated there had been 17 accidents in the past nine years. Board member Richard Huffman asked what direction the staff was getting from City Council. “The Department of Transportation is getting anxious that we’ve not presented the plan to the City Council,” Mikkelson said. “They would like to see a completed document; they funded it.” “I’ve had several City Council members pull me aside and ask me about the plan,” Mitchell said. “Mainly, concerns have been from DOT perspective and a staff perspective. “We worked hard to build this particular plan.... This is not code, this is policy. Please know that this can change just like the Land Development Ordinance can change. “The agency (who put the plan together) worked close with the steering committee and staff. All in all, all the proposed improvements were based on sound engineering and research.” The board voted to have a committee of Huffman, Benjamin Lynch, Stout and Herman Felton review the plan. The next Salisbury Planning Board meeting will be held at 4 p.m. Tuesday, June 22 in the City Council chambers, 217 S. Main St. Utilities, the town still uses close to that amount. Essentially, since the town is billed for that amount it tries to use that amount. On average it uses somewhere between 225,000 and 275,000 gallons. The current rate for water is $8 per 1,000 gallons and $9.50 per 1,000 gallons for sewer. Last year’s sewer rate went up from $9 to $9.50, while the water rate remained the same. The town staff came up with three options the board could consider concerning the water and sewer rates. One of the possibilities is to increase the minimum number of gallons a person uses from 1,000 to 2,000 gallons. There is an average of 773 people who use less than 1,000 gallons. If the town increases that minimum to 2,000 gallons that would mean one-third of the users — 461 people — would pay more with an increase in the minimum amount they consume. Councilman Lee Withers said when the town has gone up on its minimum rates in the past, all of those customers just decreased the amount of water they used, which resulted in a loss for the town. The proposed options would mostly affect the people who use water the least. The theory is that if the town raised the rates, the customers would just use more because they can. That has not worked the last few times the town increased its rates. If the town had more industrial water/sewer customers it would cover much of the cost. Right now they have about three industrial customers. Another option is to decrease the rates, not increase the debt service, which covers the money not made when customers use less water. The staff agreed to come up with some figures that would allow the town to increase the minimum use to 2,000 gallons, decrease the rates and not have to increase the debt service. The board made no final decisions and will further discuss the changes following its regular meeting next week. The board will have a public hearing June 16. The board will meet for its regular meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

SCHOOL FROM 3A
about how long they’re going to last, and there’s a couple that we’re going to have to replace in the next one to four years.” Last year, the school system spent $400,000 to replace a roof at Overton. The roof would have ordinarily cost about $600,000 to $700,000, he said, but the bids came in significantly lower because the economy is so bad. “It’s just bottom of the barrel right now,” he said. Also included in the land, buildings and improvements category is $100,000 for an Office of Civil Rights compliance project. Miller said the Office of Civil Rights, during a courtesy visit this year, found the school system to be out of compliance by not having smooth walkways for physically handicapped students to get from school buildings to playgrounds. Because it was just a courtesy visit, he said, Office of Civil Rights representatives told school officials to start working on a plan to address the problem. Miller said he proposed a plan giving the school system three years to add the walkways, and the Office of Civil Rights accepted it.
Other expenditures are as follows: $100,000 for renovations to wastewater plants; $30,000 for mobile classroom relocations; $50,000 for boiler replacements (per schedule); $50,000 for paving improvements (per schedule); $20,000 for upgrading fire alarm systems; $25,000 for energy management; and $100,000 for a refundable energy grant. The largest expenditure in the furniture and equipment category is $300,000 for matching funds projects, which Miller said would amount to about $500,000 in projects once the respective schools raise their percentage of the funds. Other expenditures are as follows: transportation program equipment, $10,000; maintenance program equipment (mowers), $30,000; furniture (schools/administration), $75,000; technology infrastructure (schools/administration), $25,000; media equipment (schools/administration), $10,000; and musical and choral equipment, $10,000. The vehicle purchases category includes $24,000, which Miller said could be used for emergencies. As with the roof repairs, he said the school system is in pretty good shape with vehicles due to its repair and replacement schedule.

“Nobody’s driving a vehicle that’s unsafe or anything right now,” Miller said. He added, however, that the money is there just in case a vehicle is stolen, catches on fire or is in an accident where the driver is at fault and the insurance company won’t pay. With this small of a capital outlay budget, Miller told school board members, some needed repairs won’t be possible. For example, he said, in the case of aging playground equipment, the school system will simply have to shut down the equipment to avoid risking injury to students and to comply with the insurance carrier requirements. “That’s all I know to do,” he said. “That will be a primary example of what we’ll be dealing with next year.” The proposed capital outlay budget includes an $897,470 appropriation from the school system’s fund balance. Miller said more than half of that will be left over from this year’s capital outlay budget. This year’s budget included $796,847 from the fund balance. “We were very frugal this year,” Miller said. “We did not do any major projects.” The board approved the proposed capital outlay budget by a unanimous vote.

“I am extremely excited and equally honored for the opportunity to serve a university that I have come to know and for which I have developed a great fondness,” said McIlquham. “It will be a privilege to work alongside the students, faculty, staff, alumni, fellow trustees and all the constituents who make Pfeiffer University such a special place.” Hunter also announced the appointment of Bobby Stewart, who will serve as the university’s interim chief operating officer. Stewart came to Pfeiffer
fort in taking fingerprints,” Eller said. “The last time, they didn’t.” Eller said he may try find out on his own who took the guns. “Right now, I’ve got to calm down a little bit first,” Eller said. He’s going to find time to do a little investigating while operating his trucking business. “It’s just sad. I’m trying to get out and work. I’m
keeping up half the damned country, people on welfare, people on disability. I have to keep working and you have to keep one eye on your stuff. It’s a hell of a situation.” And Eller figures jail isn’t a deterrent. “If they get caught, they just go lay around in jail.” Anyone with information on the break-in is asked to call the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office at 704-216-8700.
in 2004 as director of athletics. As chief operation officer, Stewart will maintain the dayto-day operations and to serve as thea primary liaison between the university and its legal and financial partners. He will provide direct oversight of Pfeiffer’s administrative and business affairs and will have access to related departments and other areas within the university to help them operate efficiently. Stewart earned a bachelor’s degree from Wake Forest and a law degree from the University of South Carolina School of Law. Both McIlquham and Stewart will be active participants of the Presidential Search Committee, which is charged
with recruiting and selecting a new university leader. Last week, the board named a search committee comprised of faculty, staff, alumni, a student, trustees and business and community leaders, who will be responsible for selecting a nationally respected executive search firm to help recruit qualified candidates. The group will also develop a process timeline and presidential profile outlining the desired experiences, credentials, attributes and skills the next president will possess. They will then make a final recommendation to the board of trustees on the strongest candidate to become Pfeiffer University’s ninth president.

N.C. man charged with posing as Marine officer WILMINGTON (AP) — A man who pleaded guilty last year to altering an identification card after he was spotted in the uniform of a three-star Marine general has been charged again with posing as a highly decorated Marine officer. Sixty-seven-year-old Michael Hamilton of Richlands was charged last week with wearing a Marine colonel’s uniform and three counts of wearing medals, including two Navy Crosses, the second highest award for valor, according to court papers. Hamilton was photographed wearing the uniform and medals at Jacksonville’s Vietnam Memorial during a military recognition day ceremony last month. It is a federal offense to claim or wear military decorations and carries punishment of up to one year in prison and a fine. Hamilton is to appear in federal court next month. He said Tuesday that he didn’t know about the charges. “I have no comment,� Hamilton said. It’s not immediately clear if he has a lawyer. In a biography distributed at the April ceremony, Hamilton claims he was promoted from private first class to colonel between 1961
and 1969 and was awarded 80 medals, including two Navy Crosses. An affidavit filed by investigators said the highest rank Hamilton attained was private first class. Hamilton only served nine months and was discharged in February 1962, according to the affidavit. It said his only decoration was a rifle qualification badge. This is not the first time Hamilton has been in charged for fraud related to military service. Hamilton was investigated in 2007 for wearing the rank of a three-star general and altering a military identification card, according to court papers. He pleaded guilty to altering the identification card in 2009 and was sentenced to probation for six months, records show. John Cooney, the adjutant of the Beirut Memorial Chapter of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, attended the ceremony in April and was happy to hear Hamilton had been charged again. “It is about time something is done,� said Cooney, 69, who served two tours in Vietnam. “The disservice he did to the 58,000 dead on that wall was unforgivable.� About 58, 000 Americans died of combat related injuries in Vietnam.

Former U.S. Senate candidate supports Cunningham Former U.S. Senate candidate Jim Neal announced Monday that he is endorsing current U.S. Senate candidate Cal Cunningham. “I’ve watched Cal closely as he’s taken his campaign to the people of North Carolina. I want to tell you directly – Cal Cunningham is the real deal,� Neal wrote in a letter to supporters. “As I vote for Cal, I hope that as many of the quarter of a million Democrats and Independents who cast their votes for Jim Neal two years ago will do likewise for Cal Cunningham on June 22.� Neal, a Chapel Hill businessman who ran a grassroots campaign in 2008, currently serves on numerous non-profit boards, including the North Carolina Justice Center’s NC Policy Watch. Neal said that he would work to encourage his 2008 supporters to go to the polls for Cunningham in the Democratic runoff. Cunningham welcomed Neal’s endorsement in a press release sent from his office. “I’m honored to have the support of Jim Neal, whose grassroots campaign in 2008 inspired hundreds of thousands of North Carolina Democrats and Independents,� he said in the press release. “I’ll be proud to work with Jim as we grow our coalition to win on June 22, defeat Richard Burr in November and fight to bring jobs back to North Carolina." Cunningham also has been endorsed by the North Carolina Association of Educators, North Carolina Teamsters, the Sierra Club, the Winston-Salem Journal, the Southern Pines Pilot, the Wilmington Star-News, VoteVets, and retired General Wesley Clark.
Holshouser endorses Johnson in bid for 8th District seat CONCORD — Former North Carolina Gov.

Women’s college receives $1.7M estate gift RALEIGH (AP) — A North Carolina women’s college has received an estate gift of more than $1.7 million from an alumna, one of the largest individual gifts in the school’s history. Meredith College announced on Tuesday that the gift was from Joyce Causey, a native of Tarboro and member of the class of 1955. A portion of the bequest will be used to fully endow an Alumnae Legacy Scholarship at the school, located in Raleigh. The scholarship is the highest honor available to an incoming freshman, and has an estimated value of $135,000 over the student’s college career. The bequest will also help support Meredith’s new athletic field and track complex, which opened in the fall of 2009. Causey earned a degree in sociology at Meredith and was 1955 class president.

Senate wants to approve $451M debt package
House gives initial OK to school reform bill RALEIGH (AP) — Facing a deadline next week for the state to apply for up to $400 million in federal grants, the state House gave initial approval Tuesday to legislation sought by Gov. Beverly Perdue laying out more options for local education leaders to improve low-performing schools. The House voted 68-45 in favor of legislation adopting federal guidelines by allowing the State Board of Education to give school districts four ways to retool more than 130 public schools where less than half of the students met expectations in standardized tests two of the past three years. The biggest change would allow districts to “restart” a typical school by giving it the same flexibility as a charter school without making it independent from the district. Charter schools are exempt from many rules of most public schools and can test innovative learning techniques or focus more on children at risk of failure. The bill, which could receive final approval Wednesday, wouldn’t lift the state’s cap of 100 charter schools that’s been in place since 1996. Lawmakers have been nervous about raising or eliminating the cap on the traditional
charter schools, which also are run by private boards. The measure instead would offer the ability to create “charter-like” schools, in addition to other methods to help continually low-performing schools. The other three are increasing class time and improving teacher performance; removing the principal and teachers; and simply closing the school. “What this does is give multiple options for reform,” said Rep. Rick Glazier, D-Cumberland, the bill’s chief proponent. “There are more reforms out there than the charter model.” Perdue sought the change by June 1 — that’s when her administration has to file an application to seek the second round of “Race to the Top” federal education reform grants. North Carolina finished well out of the money for the first round of applications in March. The state didn’t score well when it came to charter schools and other innovative schools. Several Republican House members criticized the proposal as simply window-dressing to impress the judges in the U.S. Department of Education competition. They said school districts already had the ability to rework schools using the other three options
beside the charter-like method. “It’s a fig leaf,” said Rep. Nelson Dollar, R-Wake. “It’s not really reform.” Boosters of charter schools held a news conference to argue the proposal won’t do enough to help the state’s next Race to the Top application because it doesn’t lift the 100charter cap. The House approved a separate bill last year to raise the cap 106 but it’s languished in the Senate ever since. Darrell Allison, president for Parents for Educational Freedom in North Carolina, a pro-charter school group, said while the bill approved Tuesday isn’t awful, it fails to get at the root problem that about 18,000 children are on waiting lists for traditional charter schools. “North Carolina is once again positioning itself to forfeit hundreds of millions of dollars due to its inaction in moving strong on public charter school policy this legislative short session,” Allison said. Perdue said the bill isn’t necessary for the application, but it will “strengthen North Carolina’s case for making all schools successful and making sure all students receive a quality education,” Perdue spokesman Tim Crowley said.
point in an Orange County forest in 1995 and raping the woman. He also kidnapped, robbed and attempted to rape real estate agents in separate 1998 incidents. In between, Pratt was arrested in 1997 and charged with stabbing a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill lacrosse player. If DNA had been taken after that stabbing, investigators might have tied Pratt to the forest assault sooner and prevented his further crimes, Cooper said. But the proposal crashes into the U.S. Constitution’s ban of the government carrying out unreasonable searches and seizures, ACLU of North Carolina policy director Sarah Parker said. The Fourth Amendment requires that before officials can search a person they must secure a warrant supported by indication that there is probable cause pointing to a person as a suspect. “Certainly with people who are presumed innocent, this turns our system on its head,” Parker said. Parker also warned of the institutional “mission creep” that creates the possibility that the database could be used in the future for purposes not intended today. “DNA contains a lot more information than a fingerprint does. It contains your entire genetic makeup,” she said. Cooper said there are about 190,000 samples in the state’s database, Cooper said. The proposed expansion would add about 45,000 samples a year, he said. Gov. Beverly Perdue supports expanding DNA collections and asked for $700,000 in the state budget in part to train local law enforcement on how to collect DNA properly. The Senate removed the money in its version of the $19 billion spending plan for the year starting in July. The House is currently making changes to
the Senate budget. Almost monthly, DNA databases are credited with solving crimes old and new. But opponents often object to samples taken from people who are just suspected of a crime. Last week, the Oklahoma House rejected a proposal to take DNA samples from suspects accused of felonies and violent misdemeanors before they go to trial. Great Britain, where police can take DNA or fingerprints when arresting a suspect, has one of the largest DNA databases in the world with profiles of more than 5 million people.
Tougher penalties OK’d for N.C. animal cruelty law RALEIGH (AP) — Lawmakers have recommended raising penalties in North Carolina for people who maliciously abuse or kill animals. A dog that had been beaten and burned in Greensboro was in the committee room as members approved the measure Tuesday. The bill makes it a lowgrade felony instead of a misdemeanor if a person intentionally starves an animal to death. A person would be guilty of the same felony if an animal is tortured, mutilated or disfigured. The punishment would be up to eight months behind bars, but a judge could agree to community service or probation instead. The bill was introduced after a man received probation for abusing a female pit-bull mix. The dog was later adopted and named Susie and was at the meeting with supporters.

AG Cooper urges DNA samples taken upon arrest RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina lawmakers are wrestling with whether the state can collect DNA samples from suspects in violent or sex crimes while still protecting the rights of people who haven’t been convicted. A state House committee on Tuesday reviewed expanding a crime-fighting database of DNA samples beyond those already convicted of a felony or sexual battery. A revised version introduced Tuesday would direct police to collect the samples from saliva rather than by drawing blood. Samples would be entered into state and national databases to determine whether a suspect is wanted in other unsolved crimes. The government would be required to destroy the DNA data of people whose charges are dismissed or who were never charged, then notify the former defendant that his data was expunged. Twenty-three other states from Vermont and Florida to California already collect DNA samples from those arrested but not yet convicted, legislative researchers said. That includes Virginia, Tennessee and South Carolina. Advocates including Attorney General Roy Cooper said the change would solve cases faster, prevent violent crimes by getting attackers off the streets, and provide the evidence preventing the innocent from wrongful convictions. Seven years ago, Cooper helped pass the current law requiring all convicted felons to give DNA samples. “We are not serving the public well unless we use DNA technology to the fullest extent,” Cooper told members of a House judiciary committee. “This law can prevent violent crime from occurring.” Cooper cited the case of Robert Pratt, who is serving prison time after kidnapping two men and a woman at gun-

“I think it’s insane,” said Sen. Bob Rucho, R-Mecklenburg. “Now is not the time to add more debt to the people.” Sen. David Hoyle, D-Gaston, who supports the package, said using special indebtedness has been the routine at the General Assembly in recent years. Stevens said nonvoter-approved debt can help build essential construction projects more quickly. The proposed $450.9 million package would spend $130 million for repairs and renovations to state and university buildings, with $55 million to buy equipment for community colleges and UNC-system campuses. N.C. A&T’s engineering building would get $104.4 million and N.C. State’s building would get $161.5 million. The package also would have to pass the House and be sent to Gov. Beverly Perdue, who said late Tuesday she didn’t yet know much about the bill’s details.

The study said in February — without the new package — that the state’s debt service would hit 3.99 percent by 2012 before debt capacity improves. Cowell spokeswoman Heather Franco pointed Tuesday to the February study showing that debt service should in no way exceed 4.75 percent of revenues. “We are in conversation with members of the General Assembly about balancing the need for a select few critical projects in the midst of this recession with the need to maintain the conservative debt ratio that has served the state well in the past,” Franco said. Other lawmakers are critical of placing more debt on the state, which already makes payments of more than $600 million annually. The debt would be issued as so-called “special indebtedness” that doesn’t require approval of voters. The last voter-approved debt package was approved in 2000.

Richard Stevens, R-Wake, one of the bill’s primary sponsors. The Senate Finance Committee is slated to consider the package Wednesday. Senate Democratic leaders also back the measure as a way to help the state graduate more engineers so it can compete with other countries to attract jobs in high-tech and math-oriented fields. A debt affordability study released annually by a panel headed by the treasurer has used the 4 percent debt limit as a key marker whereby North Carolina can be almost assured of keeping its treasured top-level credit rating.

RALEIGH (AP) — The state Senate proposed a $451 million debt package Tuesday that would pay for state building repairs, equipment for community college and university campuses and engineering buildings at two University of North Carolina system schools. The borrowing package wouldn’t require statewide voter approval and at the same time move the state beyond a self-imposed debt limit calculated by a state panel led by State Treasurer Janet Cowell. Legislators have stayed below the panel’s targeted threshold of an annual debt service equal to no more than 4 percent of state revenues used for operating expenses. If approved, the debt service would equal 4.25 percent of state revenues, Cowell’s office confirmed late Tuesday. Senators who back the bill said it’s an important time to repair aging buildings and to expand engineering programs

GOING GLUTEN FREE
BY SHAVONNE POTTS
spotts@salisburypost.com
At the beginning of his sixthgrade year in school, Asa Hollingsworth found out he was not like most kids. He discovered he had an autoimmune digestive disorder, celiac disease that causes damage to the small intestine when foods containing gluten are eaten. It is not like a food allergy that can potentially be grown out of; it’s a lifelong disease. There is no known cause and the only treatment is to completely remove gluten from the diet. Obvious sources of gluten include breads, cereals, crackers, pasta, pizza, cookies, gravies and sauces. Hidden sources of gluten may be found in lip balms, spices, herbal tea, medications and food additives. “As many as one in 133 American adults suffer from an intolerance to gluten,” said Anna Deboyace, a Rowan Regional nutritionist. Deboyace, who also has celiac disease, is a facilitator for a monthly celiac disease support group. She said the number of people who suffer from the disease could be even higher since celiac disease is often misdiagnosed. Misdiagnosis is perhaps how Asa went so long without realizing he had celiac disease. He was experiencing attention-deficit disorder-like symptoms, which doctors indicated could be normal at his age. He was given medication, but soon began to lose weight. “His grades started falling. He was always an A/B student,” said Susanna, Asa’s mother. The ADD medication he was given didn’t seem to make any improvements. “I didn’t feel any different,” Asa said. A doctor at Salisbury Pediatrics tested Asa for celiac disease. At the time, there was another child in the family’s church who had celiac disease, so the Hollingsworths were somewhat familiar with the it. “I didn’t fully understand,” Asa said. The lining of the small intestine, which is filled with villi or hair-like projections that absorb nutrients becomes damaged from eating gluten and other proteins found in wheat, barley, rye and possibly oats. In undiagnosed or untreated celiac disease, these villi become flattened and it affects the ability to absorb nutrients properly. One of the major symptoms is digestive and intestinal issues like diarrhea or constipation, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or unexplained weight loss. Asa had some of the symptoms, like diarrhea and occasional vomiting and queasiness, but didn’t notice them, he said. The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness estimates 97 percent of those with the disease don’t know they have it. Reading food labels is key in managing the disease. “It is totally controlled by diet,” Susanna said. Foods that can be incorporated into the gluten free diet are poultry, beef, fish, dairy, fruits, vegetables, rice and corn. Special gluten-free foods can be found at supermarkets
SHAVONNE POTTS/SALISBURY POST
Susanna Hollingsworth has to carefully read labels while grocery shopping to make sure they are gluten free after son, Asa, 13, was recently diagnosed with celiac disease. She travels to Charlotte once a month to shop at Trader Joe’s.
Gluten-free taco seasoning 2 tsp. instant onion flakes 1 tsp. chili powder 1 tsp. salt 1 ⁄2 tsp. dried red pepper 1 ⁄2 tsp. cornstarch 1 ⁄2 tsp. garlic powder 1 ⁄2 tsp. cumin 1 ⁄4 tsp. oregano Combine ingredients.
or purchased online. It can take Susanna about an hour to grocery shop because much of her time is spent reading labels. “I make a monthly trip to Trader Joe’s in Charlotte. I also go to Harris Teeter,” Susanna said. She recently found out she can special order some items at Harris Teeter. “I learn as I go,” she said. She’s received help and advice from the celiac support group. “The group is really great,” Susanna said. Most things that growing teenagers eat on a regular basis including pizza, cookies cereals or even taco seasoning, Asa cannot eat. The family buys gluten-free foods that Asa along with his parents and two siblings all can eat.
“It’s easier to make one big meal,” Susanna said. Often it’s trial and error to see what foods are gluten-free and actually taste good. Sometimes it’s a hit and sometimes it’s a miss. Asa’s friends call his gluten-free food “the food that bounces.” He brought a muffin that his friends discovered if rolled up and dropped to the floor, it bounces. “They tasted weird and when it got cold is would bounce,” Asa said. Although his school cafeteria has several items to choose from that he can eat, Asa often opts for salads and vegetables. “The hardest part is school lunches. Sometimes it’s annoying,” he said. Asa’s mother closely monitors his diet, but sometimes he slips and eats foods he shouldn’t. During Youth Commission International, a student-led evangelical club at Asa’s school, he would customarily eat doughnuts during the meetings. “They were so amazing,” he said of the doughnut holes. His favorite food that he misses eating is Chinese food, particularly General Tso’s Chicken. He recently discovered there is a glutenfree form of this dish. Restaurants can coat the chicken with cornstarch instead of flour. A local Chinese restaurant has mentioned to the family they could create a gluten-free General Tso’s Chicken for Asa. Despite having to sometimes eat
other foods while the majority of people around him are able to eat without precaution, Asa has a good attitude about his gluten-free existence. “He has not complained much at all,” Susanna said. Most people who have celiac disease lack fiber, so Susanna makes certain Asa eats plenty of fruits and vegetables. The family also eats plenty of quinoa, (pronounced keen-wa), which is a gluten-free grain that can be used in soups, pasta dishes and as a hot cereal. When the family gets a chance they frequent Posana, a restaurant in downtown Asheville that offers gluten-free meal options. One of the members of the support group suggested the family try the restaurant. “They have some of the best food I’ve ever tasted,” Asa said. During brunch at the restaurant Asa was able to eat coffee cake, carrot cake, bread and muffins. Many of the gluten-free meals Susanna makes are from various websites, she’s found or that have been suggested by others. “It’s really good to get together with people dealing with the same thing you are,” Susanna said.

Bringing science to the kitchen BY KATIE SCARVEY Salisbury Post
Catawba College alum Jasika Nicole is known for playing a young FBI scientist on the hit TV show “Fringe.” In real life, Jasika brings science to the kitchen in her gluten-free cooking. Her partner, Claire, has celiac disease. “She always NICOLE knew she had an allergy to wheat, but wasn’t officially diagnosed with the new testing until a couple years ago,” Jasika says. While Claire doesn’t like to cook, Jasika does. “I refuse to have my diet suffer because of anyone else’s intolerance, so I have become a knowledgeable gluten-free cooker and baker,” she says. “I have lots of recipe books and

Cucumbers, celery, herbs available at Farmers Market BY SUE DAVIS

When you enter the market from Main Street, you can’t miss the display of colorful plants and hanging baskets displayed by Joyce’s Greenhouse and Nursery. As you approach the booth, you quickly learn that Doug and Joyce work as a team helping customers and answering questions. Joyce’s Greenhouse has been a part of the Rowan - Salisbury Farmers Market for 20 years. As a Rowan County native, still living within 2 miles of the family homestead on Old Mocksville Road, Joyce is proud of her contribution to the growth of the market. A market day for Joyce and Doug begins early and runs long after the market closes, but they both enjoy the time with the people so it makes the work lighter. It takes two
hours or so to load and unload their plants, and even more time planning what to bring and what to start for the next growing season. When asked what they like to do when they are not working, Joyce answered “shop!” without hesitation. Her favorite plants are Lantana and Million Bells, which she features in baskets. Doug would like more time for golf, but admits he seldom gets to play. They both enjoy vacation at the beaches of southeastern North Carolina. Local cucumbers make their first big splash this week. The weather conditions have made this growing season a challenge for many of our farmers. Correll Farm has Celery Root or Celeriac, frequently featured in gourmet magazines and cookbooks. Celery Root has a knobby, strange appearance. When peeled, it is a cream-colored pungently flavored vegetable.
It is popular in purees, soups and salads. Don’t be put off by the way the vegetable looks. Once it is peeled, its easy to manage. You cook it like a potato, boiling, baking or roasting or you can eat it raw in a salad. To serve four you will need about 2 pounds of celery root. Ask for recipes at the booth. Specialty herbs are available from several vendors. Lemon Thyme, many types of basil, lemon balm and more can be found. Look for interesting vegetable plants to grow on patios and in small spaces at Dawn’s Greenhouse. For more information about the Farmers Market visit www.salisburyfarmersmarket.com. The Farmers Market is located in downtown Salisbury at the corner of South Main and Bank streets. Visit the Farmers Market on Wednesdays from 7 a.m. until DARRELL BLACKWELDER/FOR THE SALISBURY POST 1 p.m. and Saturdays from 7 Joyce Cable answers questions about mosquito plants. a.m. until noon.

Dear Anxious: Though you obviously have your suspicions, you don’t have any proof of this pilfering — and the window of time between their visit and your inventories leaves some room for doubt. If you are too uncomfortable to visit with these people, then you should stay home. You should let your wife make up her own mind

Dear Amy: My wife and I recently hosted a get-together with my wife’s old friend from high school and her husband. Before they left, we set a date for us to visit them. It so happened that two days before their visit I had cleaned and rearranged the medicine cabinet in my bathroom. Two days after their visit, I noticed that some medication was missing. They each had a visit to that room. We had no other guests during that time. My wife wants to keep our scheduled visit to their home. I do not want to visit them because I think they stole medication from me. How do I handle this situation? — Anxious

Dear Mom: You don’t say what problems your 12-step meetings address, but if you are battling addiction, perhaps you could imagine that some of the issues that drove you to your 12-step program have also had a profound impact on your daughter. Children of people with addictions struggle with anger, frustration and anxiety. You don’t seem willing to see your own behavior from your daughter’s perspective, but you should try. For instance, if she feels you overindulge her children and corrects you on this score, is she “chastising” you or merely asking you to respect her values? Does your self-described “hipness” prevent you from drawing clear boundaries, establishing expectations and acting like an adult? Rather than tolerating abuse and then avoiding your daughter, you should ask her if she could work with you to try to do things differently.
You know from your 12step work that you cannot control or change someone else. If you have to create more distance from your daughter to protect yourself from her bullying, then you’ll have to step back from the relationship until things change.

me. She has two children and just started working, but she was like this before the pressures of her job. I try to be supportive by taking my grandchildren overnight and picking up any slack whenever she needs me. I give her “date” nights with her husband, etc. She has “chastised” me for giving the children too many gifts. She’s quite the bully. Help! — Mad Mom

Dear Amy: I am writing for some help with my adult daughter. She is in her 40s and is very short-tempered and disrespectful in her comments toward me. I am a very spiritual and “hip” mom, but I’m at a loss about how to handle this. I am in a 12-step program, and it teaches me patience, acASK ceptance and AMY tolerance, but when is enough enough? I have tried to speak to my daughter about her behavior on several occasions. She is impatient and curt with me. When I brought the issue up at my 12-step meeting, at least 15 women had the same problem! Let’s face it — you can’t “punish” adult children. You can’t give them a timeout, and it isn’t politically correct to interfere with them as married adults. I don’t know what to do with the feelings I have. I am beginning to avoid my daughter, due to her extreme judgmental attitude toward me. I have not lectured or tried to correct my daughter — I’ve decided to avoid her. She hangs the phone up on me if I even “hint” at not agreeing with her. I love her dearly and would never break off the relationship, but I’m not “feeling it” any longer, and that scares

I am savvy enough about the staples of a gluten free diet to turn virtually any ‘regular’ recipe into a celiac-safe one, but my favorite way to try new things is by going to gluten-free blogs. There are tons out there, but my favorite is the ‘I Am Gluten Free’ blogspot. “This woman has dedicated much of her free time to creating delicious gluten-free recipes, and so far none of them have failed me.” “As for myself, I am not gluten free on purpose; it’s just that since Claire and I live together, most of what I eat is gluten free by default. “I don’t think that gluten is a bad thing though. It affects some people poorly and others it has no effect on, like me —I have been without gluten for weeks at a time and never noticed a difference in my body or energy from when I was eating it to when I was not. “But of course for people like Claire, who has celiac, and even other friends of mine who don’t have a diagnosis or an allergy but who still feel very ill after coming into contact with gluten, their body is trying to tell them to stay away from something, and when they listen to it they feel healthier all around. “I can’t say that the glutenfree things I make taste exactly the same as glutenous ones, but I can say that they taste just as good. “Instead of replacing glutenous things with non glutenous one, I look at my glutenfree baking as merely an addition to the world of food. I can make banana bread with wheat, or with rice/tapioca/potato starch flour, and neither one is supposed to be a substitute for the other; they are both just two delicious versions.”

WHAT’S BEST FOR COUNTY
Barber ought in an ideological box to step aside Locked Voter discontent straining party allegiances R
owan County Commissioner Jon Barber has taken the first step toward recovery by admitting he is an alcoholic. Now he should resign from the county commission and take care of his problem in private. If last week’s incident were Barber’s first run-in over alcohol, remaining in office might be plausible. Anyone can make a mistake, and that was obviously the case when a deputy found Barber passed out behind the wheel of his car in February 2008. Barber pleaded guilty to DWI, apologized to fellow commissioners for the publicity and vowed that he would be “undefeatable against the diseases I have.” The only disease he acknowledged, though, was his newly diagnosed diabetes. Driving under the influence is more than a mere mistake; it’s a threat to public safety. But Barber’s friends and political supporters stood by him. When Barber emerged as the top vote-getter in the May 4 primary, he and local voters appeared to have put the 2008 incident behind him. Last week’s incident changes everything. Barber was pulled from his classroom at Southeast Middle School Wednesday after students sent text messages to their parents saying he appeared to be drunk. He resigned from his teaching position Thursday and immediately became the subject of news stories and headlines. Still, all Barber would say was that he left work early and was resigning to pursue other opportunities. The more obvious truth came out quietly on Monday, when Barber e-mailed a letter to the Post and asked that it be published on the Opinion page. “I have spent years minimizing and, yes, denying a simple fact — I am an alcoholic,” Barber wrote. “I can no longer do so.” Good for him. That’s a painful fact to face, and an even more painful one to admit publicly. Barber did the right thing by recognizing that he had a problem. Despite cries of condemnation from some corners, plenty of people are urging Barber to hold on to his commission seat as he undergoes treatment. Leaving office now could have political consequences for the entire county, depending on how commissioners fill the void and who wins in November. But if alcohol has so clouded Barber’s judgment that he would appear under the influence in front of his students, politics should be put aside. Barber needs treatment and Rowan needs strong leaders; the two do not mesh. By remaining in public office while he battles the bottle, Barber puts himself and the county in further jeopardy. The Code of Conduct for County Commissioners is clear: “County Commissioners should respect and comply with the law and should conduct themselves at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity of the office of county commissioner and of county government.” Jon Barber may come back to fight for his ideals another day. For now, though, he should show respect for the county and his office by stepping down.

alfway through the 2010 primary season, the fundamental tension in the American political system is becoming more clear: A liberal government is struggling to impose its agenda on an electorate increasingly responsive to an activist conservative movement operating inside the Republican Party. Most evident in the periodic eruptions of tea DAVID party support BRODER for right-wing candidates for governor or senator, the counterrevolutionary forces have just begun to test their strength directly against the Democratic majorities that seized power from George W. Bush in 2006 and made that takeover more complete in 2008 with the election of Barack Obama. Saddled with the burden of attempting to enact the progressive measures on which they were originally elected and to meet the costs they inherited from two wars and the massive recession that ushered them into office, the Democrats are facing a populist backlash against the interventionist, expensive policies that Obama and others have pursued. The struggle has dominated this session of Congress with protracted fights over health care and financial regulation that have widened the ideological gap between the parties. The intensity and constan-
cy of the legislative warfare have denied the public one of the main goals voters sought in electing Obama — a truce between the parties. But it is not yet clear that Republicans will be punished for declaring war on the president. The Republicans have exploited this new emphasis on governmental austerity with significant election victories in such normally Democratic states as New Jersey and Massachusetts, and signals of potential losses for Democrats in Illinois, Delaware and Pennsylvania. Meantime, the voters in both parties are showing the instability of past preferences by rejecting seemingly wellestablished incumbents in favor of untested challengers in states as diverse as Utah, Florida, Arkansas and, once again, Pennsylvania. This has made Pennsylvania’s five-term Sen. Arlen Specter the archetypal figure for this year, a man who was literally run out of the Republican Party by the challenge of a junior former House member and the ill-financed tea party movement, and then upset in his new home in the Democratic primary by an even more unknown Joe Sestak, a stranger to most voters across the state until his ads began three weeks before Election Day. In his unwarranted euphoria after beating Specter, whose party-switching was a conspicuous example of the calculated self-interest that voters associate with professional politicians, Sestak proclaimed that his victory was “a win for the people, over the
LETTERS Family appreciates community support I’m the father of Tom Cowden, and I’d like to thank all of the people who participated in the 5K run for my son at West Rowan High School on May 22. I understand it was a huge success. Tom and I are in Memphis, Tenn., at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, where Tom is being treated for medulloblastoma, a brain tumor and cancer that affects mostly children. His mother and my wife, Christi, spends the weekends with us until he starts chemotherapy in July, and then I will be the one traveling and she will be staying in Memphis. The staff and community associated with West Rowan High School have been extremely supportive. They have raised money in a variety of ways, through FFA and the school in general and now this 5K run. My daughter and inlaws did attend the 5K and reported that the support was huge. We as a family are so indebted to these people, and I want to publicly thank all of them. Special thanks go to Brittney and Jason Chester, Clarke Adams, Bob and Deonna Blake and Todd Bell, as well as all of the administration and staff and friends and families that have helped us so. Our ordeal will continue until winter, and we will be traveling quite a bit between our home and Memphis. All of the donations raised will help support us during the travel and while my wife is out of work

establishment, over the status quo, even over Washington, D.C.” By adding the capital to his list of losers, Sestak seemed to signal his disrespect for Obama, who had warmly endorsed Specter. And that spotlights one of the great unknowns in the unresolved tension now confronting Democratic candidates: whether to run with Obama or against him. Republicans in Congress made their choice more than a year ago when they decided to fight Obama even on the stimulus bill that pumped billions into their own recession-crippled districts. As time has gone on and the signs of economic recovery have become clearer, Obama has shown increasing force in defending his own early action and decrying the Republican opposition. But Democrats remain nervous about lining up behind Obama. More of them are ready to rest their hopes on the Republicans’ allowing themselves to be dragged too far to the right than are signing up to promise to sustain the president in future battles to cope with the challenge of fiscal deficits. The combination of a volatile political environment and the rapid approach of the midterm voting makes it hard for Democrats to rally behind the president. But so far, they have discovered no other strategy. • • • David Broder's e-mail address is davidbroder@ washpost.com.

Political lessons To the people who voted for me — thank you! Allow me to share a few thoughts about this campaign. I learned a great deal about politics, but politics and business have much in common. One reads the signs and uses communication skills, which I learned
years ago in business; the game is not so different. I use the word “game” because to men, politics is a game, and I am sorry to say, the individual with the most money usually wins. That individual can afford to get his name out in the most ways, i.e. commercials, yard signs, etc. Howard Coble is a friend of mine and on April 10, in Moore County, I told him that if I could not win, I would endorse him and none of the other contesters. Coble is honest and has the integrity we must have in a Washington. I have always maintained the only thing needed was more fight, and Howard does listen. I will continue to write and expose those things corrupt, doing all I can as a citizen to save our country in the next two critical years. I will support Howard Coble with any information that I find and help him in all ways. Primary voting numbers were disappointing — 86 percent did not vote. To save this country we must be more involved! — Cathy Brewer Hinson High Point
Hinson was a Republican candidate for North Carolina’s 6th Congressional District.
ublic interest in wars and “man-caused disasters” (formerly known as the war on terror) isn’t what it used to be, except when men try to cause disasters, as in the recent attempted bombing of Times Square. But one war that always attracts public attention is the war over textbook content. ShapCAL ing how the THOMAS next generation thinks is as much about politics and the way one views the world as it is about education. The Texas State Board of Education last week adopted new social study and history curricula. After weeks of comments from the public and heated rhetoric between Republicans and Democrats on the Republican-controlled board, board members voted along party lines on what to teach 4.8 million Texas public school students about history, social studies and math over the next 10 years. The vote is important because Texas is the second-largest textbook buyer in the country and influences textbook content for much of the rest of the nation. This war has been going on since 1961 when a Texas couple, Norma and Mel Gabler, launched their textbook crusade. According to the Washington Post the Gablers, “guarded the schoolhouse door against factual errors and what they perceived as left-wing bias. Usually one and the same in their view, the transgressions they spotted were often enough to knock the offending book from the running for statewide adoption.” The firestorm they helped ignite has been burning ever since and flares up each time textbooks are to be revised. At the heart of it all is a dispute over what kind of nation America was and is. Some conservatives claim it was — and is — a “Christian nation.” But what does that mean? What would a Christian nation look like? Would individuals love their enemies, instead of denouncing them? Would people live within their means? Would individuals, rather than government, be doing more to feed the hungry, visit prisoners and care for widows and orphans? Would there be fewer abortions, less sex outside of marriage, not as many divorces and less cohabitation? Would there be harmony among the races in a Christian nation? None of these describe modern America and so defenders of the “Christian nation” belief cling to references by the Founders to “Divine Providence” and similar euphemisms for the Almighty and want them in textbooks. To prove what? The left started this war by attacking what was for years taken for granted about America, most especially that we are an exceptional country. The proof is the number of people who want to come here and the selflessness displayed by our citizens in the treasure we've spent and the blood we’ve spilled on behalf of others. Too many on the left seem embarrassed by America’s prosperity and standing in the world. The right seems just as committed to tearing the country down, literally and figuratively. When liberals rewrite textbooks, inserting their own spin on history, they are said to be engaging in academic freedom. When conservatives attempt to do the same, they are called censors, bigots, anti-scientific and worse. It’s too bad that people of different political stripes can't agree on a common approach to history and the ever-changing social scene. And because they can’t, the textbook wars are likely to continue. • • • Cal Thomas’ e-mail address is tmseditors@ tribune.com.

Oil well plug effort readied; probe cites cronyism between companies, agency overseeing wells WASHINGTON (AP) — BP readied yet another attempt to slow the oil gushing into the Gulf on Tuesday as a government report alleged that drilling regulators have been so close to the industry they’ve been accepting gifts from oil and gas companies and even negotiating to go work for them. President Barack Obama prepared to head to the Gulf on Friday to review efforts to halt the disastrous flow. Scientists said underwater video of the leak showed the plume growing significantly darker, suggesting heavier, more-polluting oil is spewing out. BP’s next effort to stop the gushing oil will, perhaps Wednesday, is to involve a procedure called a “top kill,” in which heavy mud and cement are to be shot into the well to plug it up. The procedure has never been tried a mile beneath the sea, and company executives estimate its chances of success at 60 to 70 percent. In Washington, the Obama administration said it has been laboring to root out problems at the agency that regulates offshore drilling.
N. Korea severs all ties with S. Korea, raises war rhetoric SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Relations on the divided Korean peninsula plunged to their lowest point in a decade Tuesday when the North declared it was cutting all ties to Seoul as punishment for blaming the communists for the sinking of a South Korean warship. The announcement came a day after South Korea took steps that were seen as among the strongest it could take short of military action. Seoul said it would slash trade with the North and deny permission to its cargo ships to pass through South Korean waters. It also resumed a propaganda offensive — including blaring Western music into the North and dropping leaflets by balloon. North Korea said it was cutting all ties with the South until President Lee Myungbak leaves office in early 2013, the official Korean Central News Agency said in a dispatch monitored in Seoul late Tuesday. The North’s Committee for the Peaceful Reunification said it would expel all South Korean government officials working at a joint industrial park in the northern border town of Kaesong, and South Korean ships and airliners would be banned from passing through its territory. The North’s committee said it would start “all-out counterattacks” against the South’s psychological warfare, and called its moves “the first phase” of punitive measures against Seoul, suggesting more action could follow.
GOP senators vent anger, partisan complaints to Obama WASHINGTON (AP) — If President Barack Obama thought having a private lunch with Republican senators would ease partisan tensions in Congress, he grabbed the wrong recipe. The president walked into a remarkably contentious 80minute session Tuesday in which GOP senators accused him of duplicity, audacity and unbending partisanship. Lawmakers said the testy exchange left legislative logjams intact, and one GOP leader said nothing is likely to change before the November elections. Obama’s sharpest accuser was Bob Corker of Tennessee, a first-term senator who feels the administration undermined his efforts to craft a bipartisan financial regulation bill. “I told him I thought there was a degree of audacity in him even showing up today after what happened with financial regulation,” Corker told reporters. “I just wanted him to tell me how, when he wakes up in the morning, comes over to a luncheon
like ours today, how does he reconcile that duplicity?” Four people who were in the room said Obama bristled and defended his administration’s handling of negotiations. On the way out, Corker said, Obama approached him and both men repeated their main points.
Gunmen battle Jamaican security forces; 30 dead KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — Thousands of police and soldiers stormed the Jamaican ghettos where reggae was born Tuesday in search of a reputed drug kingpin wanted by the United States, intensifying a third day of street battles that have killed at least 30 people. The masked gunmen fighting for underworld boss Christopher “Dudus” Coke say he provides services and protection — all funded by a criminal empire that seemed untouchable until the U.S. demanded his extradition. Coke has built a loyal following in Tivoli Gardens, the poor West Kingston slum that is his stronghold. U.S. authorities say he has been trafficking cocaine to the streets of New York City since the mid-1990s, allegedly hiring island women to hide the drugs on themselves on flights to the United States. Called “president” and “shortman” by his supporters, Coke does not wear flashy clothes or hold court at Kingston nightclubs like other powerful gang bosses. The few published photographs of the 5-foot-4-inch Jamaican the U.S. Justice Department calls one of the world’s most dangerous drug lords show an unassuming man with a pot belly. On Tuesday, masked gunmen in West Kingston vanished down side streets barricaded with barbed wire and junked cars. The sound of gunfire echoed across the slums on Jamaica’s south coast, far from the tourist meccas of the north shore.
Senate nominee Paul adjusts image before hometown audience BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) — Dressed in doctor scrubs, senatorial candidate Rand Paul sought to ditch the image of politician in his first campaign appearance since a round of interviews in which he dismayed fellow Republicans by discussing his views on racial segregation. Paul spoke to a friendly audience at a civic club Tuesday in his hometown of Bowling Green. He drew chuckles when he described last week’s campaign victory with the words of English novelist Charles Dickens: “It was the best of it times. It was the worst of times.” Last week Paul suggested that the federal government shouldn’t have the power to force restaurants to serve minorities under the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Paul told the local group he doesn’t want to repeal the Civil Rights Act. Paul also said he expects there will be a campaign staff shakeup, though he declined to give details. He won the GOP nomination last week with a campaign staff made up largely of political novices and volunteers.
Lifting military’s ban on gays in doubt WASHINGTON (AP) — A lukewarm endorsement from Defense Secretary Robert Gates and opposition among some lawmakers cast doubt Tuesday on whether Congress this week would lift a 17-year-old ban on gays serving openly in the military.

Oil absorbent material is seen in place for the upcoming high tide to mitigate oil from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on Elmer’s Island in Grand Isle, La. on Tuesday. on Monday by the White House and a small group of Democrats who fear that repeal efforts will be doomed if Republicans regain control of one or both houses of Congress after fall elections. The plan would overturn the “don’t ask, don’t tell” law but still allow the military to decide when and how to implement any changes to accommodate the new policy.
Mass. inquest into ’86 killing by ex-Ala. professor over QUINCY, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts judge has completed a closed-door inquest into the 1986 shooting death of the brother of a former university professor accused in Alabama of killing three colleagues. Norfolk District Attorney William Keating ordered the inquest into whether Amy Bishop intentionally shot her teenage brother at their suburban Boston home. The shooting originally was ruled accidental. Supreme Judicial Court spokeswoman Joan Kenney says an inquest report was finalized Tuesday and delivered to Norfolk Superior Court. All documents are impounded until the district attorney decides not to prosecute or fails to win an indictment, a trial is completed or a judge determines trial is unlikely. Bishop says the February shooting deaths at the University of AlabamaHuntsville “didn’t happen.” Her family insists her brother’s death was an accident
Singer Mindy McCready hospitalized ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Mindy McCready, the country singer who battled drugs and legal woes but recently declared herself clean after a stint on “Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew,” was recovering in a hospital Tuesday after police responded to an overdose call at a Florida home. The overdose report came at 10:38 a.m. at a North Fort Myers home, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office. The property is owned by McCready’s mother, records showed. Cape Coral Hospital spokeswoman Karen Krieger would not say why McCready was taken to the hospital. “She is in good condition,” Krieger said. In an e-mail, McCready’s publicist confirmed the singer was in the hospital, and said the diagnosis has not been confirmed.
Stocks plunge early, then bounce back NEW YORK (AP) — A rally pushed the Dow Jones industrials back over 10,000 after the stock market sank to its lowest level of the year
Tuesday. The late-day rebound did nothing to erase lingering worries about Europe’s debt crisis. The Dow plunged more than 250 points after the opening bell and stayed under 10,000 most of the day, then charged back to finish down only 22 when signals from Washington suggested banks would not be forced to sell their lucrative derivatives units as part of financial reform. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index even managed a slight gain. But investors are still concerned about European debt, and that’s likely to mean more turbulent days like Tuesday. The market worries that even austerity measures by governments there will not be enough to

In this June 20, 2008 file photo, members of the 200th Red Horse Air National Guard Civil Engineering Squadron from Camp Perry in Ohio work on building a road at the border in Nogales, Ariz. The Obama administration announced Tuesday it was sending 1,200 National Guard troops to the border.
1106 Mooresville Rd., Salisbury • 704-636-2122
Troops to the Mexican border: y l r a e Obama to send 1,200 e n i l Celebration d a Democrats were considering countering McCain’s amendment with a proposal of their own after disclosure of the administration plans. The White House wasn’t expected to formally send its spending request to Capitol Hill until after the Memorial Day recess, said Kenneth Baer, spokesman for the White House Office of Management and Budget. A military official said Tuesday that details were still being worked out on the troops’ orders and destinations, adding that the timing of their deployment was not yet clear. Also undetermined was which units from which states would deploy. The Defense Department, which has been jousting with the Homeland Security Department for the better part of a year over the possible deployment, had previously expressed concerns that the troops not be used for law enforcement duties. Pentagon officials are worried about perceptions that the U.S. was militarizing the border. The administration’s plans appear to use Guard troops only in a supporting role, according to the military official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the details were still being worked out. Some of the troops will be armed, but others will not. Arizona Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords said the situation on the ground now is different from when Bush deployed the Guard. Arrests have fallen in the Arizona sector and there’ve been record drug seizures. She said the border is more violent and law enforcement is outgunned. She and other lawmakers want the troops to be armed — they were not in the previous deployment. She said the U.S. needs to “spend what it takes” to secure its border with Mexico. The Mexican Embassy said Tuesday it hoped the National Guard troops would be used to fight drug cartels and not enforce immigration laws. Mexico has traditionally objected to the use of military forces to control undocumented migration, saying such measures would criminalize migrants and open the way for potential abuse. Cecilia Munoz, White House director of intergovernmental affairs, told a group of Spanish-language reporters Tuesday that the National Guard troops would not deal directly with migrants. More than 20,000 Border Patrol agents are deployed now, mostly along the nation’s southern border.
Doctor fined over medical marijuana clinic HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A Montana physician who health officials say saw 151 patients in one day at a medical marijuana clinic has become the state’s first doctor disciplined in a marijuana case. The state Board of Medical Examiners determined Dr. Patricia Cole, of Whitefish, spent an average of six minutes with each patient during the October 2009 clinic. She is being fined $2,000 for breaching standards of practice.
The board says Cole didn’t document whether she took medical histories or physical examinations of patients, she did not discuss proper dosing and she failed to document a risk analysis of medical marijuana for them. Cole says she never breached the doctor-patient relationship and believes she’s being made an example of. She is banned from participating in further medical marijuana conferences.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Under pressure to take action, President Barack Obama is ordering 1,200 National Guard troops to boost security along the U.S.-Mexico border, officials said Tuesday, pre-empting Republican efforts to force a congressional vote to send the troops. Obama will also request $500 million for border protection and law enforcement activities, according to lawmakers and administration officials. The president’s action comes as chances for comprehensive immigration reform, Obama’s long-stated goal, look increasingly dim in this election year. Obama has been all but compelled to do something since Arizona’s passage of a tough illegal-immigration law thrust the border problem into the public spotlight. The National Guard troops will work on intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance support, analysis and training, and support efforts to block drug trafficking. They will temporarily supplement Border Patrol agents until Customs and Border Protection can recruit and train additional officers and agents to serve on the border, an administration official said. In 2006, President George W. Bush sent thousands of troops to the border to perform support duties that tie up immigration agents. But that program has since ended, and politicians in border states have called for troops to be sent to curb human and drug smuggling and to deal with Mexico’s drug violence that has been spilling over into the United States. The administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity ahead of a public announcement, disclosed the new White House plans shortly after Obama met at the Capitol with Republican senators who pressed him on immigration issues including the question of sending troops to the border. Arizona Sens. John McCain and Jon Kyl have been urging such a move, and Republicans planned to try to require it as an amendment to a pending war spending bill. In a speech Tuesday on the Senate floor, McCain said the situation on the U.S.-Mexico border has “greatly deteriorated.” He called for 6,000 National Guard troops to be sent, and he asked for $250 million more to pay for them. “I appreciate the additional 1,200 being sent ... as well as an additional $500 million, but it’s simply not enough,” McCain said.

Marvelous Mustangs East one win from Raleigh BY BRET STRELOW
bstrelow@salisburypost.com
GRANITE QUARRY — Alexis Marko’s one-out hit E. Rowan 5 loaded the bases in M. Ridge 2 the final inning against East Rowan pitcher Chelsea White, who was working with a three-run lead. “I guess I should have been nervous,” East catcher Kayla Potts said, “but I wasn’t. I knew we were going to get out of it. “With our defense behind Chelsea, it’s pretty untouchable. Pretty good. Awesome.” White escaped that jam unscathed, and East advanced to the fourth round of the 3A softball playoffs with a 5-2 home victory Tuesday. The Mustangs (23-1) scored four runs in the bottom half of the first inning and took a 5-0 advantage to the fifth. A spot in the Final Four will be at stake when they face Jay M. Robinson (23-3) on Friday in Granite Quarry. “It’s exciting,” White said. “It’s the first time we’ve been to Round 4 since I’ve been here. We’ve pulled together really well, and our defense was really good today.” A wild pitch, squeeze bunt by White, double by Potts and single by Meagan Kluttz generated four quick runs against Marvin Ridge pitcher Caitlin Kurtz, who allowed an unearned run on a two-out error in the third inning. The Mavericks (24-5) finally scratched in the fifth, and Ashley Christy homered off White in the sixth. Hot-hitting Jordan Lugibihl and Megan Robertson opened the seventh inning with back-to-back singles. White struck out ninth-place batter Megan Martin, and Marko reached on an infield single. White retired Madison Arroyo on a check-swing popup to third baseman Mallory Drew, and Erin Kayton hit a game-ending comebacker to White. “I got a little worried, but I knew we’d come through,” White said. “I thought I really had to bear down and get us through this. Throw strikes, get them to swing and put the ball into play where we can make the out. I have a lot of faith in my defense.” White allowed 10 hits, twice the number East totaled. Marvin Ridge posted eight in the final three innings. JON C. LAKEY/SALISBURY POST

Rowan Legion rallies BY JORDAN HONEYCUTT sports@salisburypost.com
The familiar smell of Pinky’s hot Rowan 10 dogs and E. Randolph 7 the sound of Dr. Clyde Young’s trumpet ringing from Newman Park can mean only one thing. Rowan Legion baseball is back. In the first home game of the season, fans saw a frantic, fast-paced contest filled with a little of everything, including a 10-run inning by Rowan. Trailing 7-0 in the sixth, Rowan (2-1) got to Eastern starter Tyler See, knocking him out with three runs. Reliever Dustin Haithcox inherited a bases-loaded situation and had early control problems by walking the first two batters and giving up two runs. The downward spiral continued for Haithcox as Matt Mauldin delivered an RBI infield single, then John Knox atoned for three errors in the field with a clutch two-run double that brought Rowan within at 7-6.

After Haithcox plunked Hayden Untz to load the bases again, Chandler Jones drove home two more with a line-drive single. Matt Laurens kept it rolling with another RBI on an infield single that scored Jones for the second time in the inning. Wes Barker then doubled off new pitcher Zack Mills, driving home Laurens and making the score 10-7. “Our hitters just seemed to see it better, and (Haithcox) was throwing a bit slower,” Rowan coach Jim Gantt said. “And our guys just put better swings on it. I think the first guy (See) was throwing split-fingers and he had a lot of movement on the ball.” Stellar relief pitching from Matt Miller helped seal the win. Ethan Marsh picked up the save by throwing a scoreless ninth. Eastern Randolph drew first blood in the game in the top of the second inning when errors by first baseman Zack Simpson and shortstop Knox, allowed two runs to score off Rowan starter Dakota Brown.

Kobe Bryant had 38 points and 10 assists as the reigning NBA champions fought back to lead briefly early in the fourth before the Suns backups stole the show. Phoenix coach Alvin Gentry kept all five reserves in the game for almost the first nine minutes of the final quarter, and they produced an 18-3 run, and the Lakers never recovered. When Nash reentered with 3:05 to play, those subs — usually playing against the Los Angeles starters — had turned an 87-85 deficit into a 103-94 lead. “We believe in our bench,” Gentry said. “Tonight they played as well as they could play.”
Brrrr! Super Bowl coming to New Jersey BY JAIME ARON Associated Press
IRVING, Texas — February. Gray skies. Snowflakes. Brrrrrrrr. Well, grab your boots and plow the snow. The Super Bowl is coming to the Meadowlands. In New Jersey? In the dead of winter? “We’ll all pray that it doesn’t snow that day,” Arizona Cardinals president Michael Bidwill said. NFL owners voted Tuesday to put the 2014 Super Bowl in the new $1.6 billion
Meadowlands Stadium that this season will become home to the New York Jets and Giants. It’s the first time the league has gone to a cold weather site that doesn’t have a dome; until now, those places couldn’t even bid on the big game. So, why the risk? “Let’s face it,” Giants co-owner John Mara said, “there’s only one New York City.” “We promise the greatest game in the greatest venue in the greatest city,” added another co-owner, Steve Tisch. “Now we’ve got to deliver.” Mother Nature may have a lot to say
about that. The coldest kickoff temperature in Super Bowl history was 39 degrees, and that would be considered a warm February day in East Rutherford, N.J. Average February temperatures there are 24 to 40 degrees, with several inches of rain, according to the bid documents. Remember, the game kicks off after the sun goes down in the Eastern time zone, so temperatures would be dropping throughout the night.

Showdown rescheduled From staff reports The East Rowan-Northwest Cabarrus fourth-round 3A baseball playoff game was rained out on Tuesday. A storm forced an initial delay and another downpour while the field was being prepared ended any hope of playing Tuesday. Staton Field was filling up well before the scheduled game-time for the much anticipated matchup between the Mustangs (26-2) and Trojans (21-9), a pair of No. 1 seeds. Northwest has won 10 in a row, while East has won eight straight. The teams have split two meetings this season. East has won five of the last six in the series, and the Trojans last prevailed at Staton Field in 2005. The game was rescheduled for tonight at 7 p.m. Right-hander Parker Gobbel (8-0) is the probable pitcher for East, while lefty Taylor West (5-2) is expected to pitch for Northwest. Tuscola’s Tyler Brosius, who quarterbacked the Tuscola football team against West Rowan in a bruising state semifinal, hit his 13th and 14th homers to power the Pioneers to a 9-1 win against Morganton Patton in the other 3A Western semifinal on Tuesday night. The contest was a rematch of the 2004 Little League state championship game that Morganton won during its run to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa. The East-Northwest winner will be the home team for the Western championship series, but the precise schedule for that bestof-three series is still being determined.
American Legion baseball Kannapolis edged Concord 5-4 in Southern Division of Area III Legion baseball on Tuesday. Tyler Freeze tied the game with a pinchhit double in the ninth. Garrett Welch’s suicide squeeze scored Ryan Goodman in the bottom of the 10th. John Tuttle pitched 91⁄3 innings for Kannapolis. Zach Jones got the last two outs in the top of the 10th at Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium to get the win. Kannapolis plays at Rowan tonight. Wes Dumford shut down Mocksville for eight innings and led Mooresville to an 8-1 league win on Tuesday. Tyler Lewis had a tworun single for Mooresville. Chris Dula had two hits. Tyler Jordan had two hits for Mocksville. Hernan Bautista knocked in Mocksville’s run. Wilkes-Statesville was rained out. Area IV Legion programs in Sylva and Union County have folded.
Junior Legion baseball Carson beat Mocksville 3-1 on Tuesday. Mitch Galloway pitched a four-hitter. He struck out eight and walked two. Galloway knocked in two runs. K.J. Pressley and Patrick Hampton both went 2-for-3. The Salisbury Cavornets dropped a 2-1 decision to the Mooresville Legends at Robertson Stadium on Tuesday. Mooresville took a 2-0 lead to the bottom of the seventh. Salisbury’s Scott Van derPoel and Philip Tonseth singled to open the seventh, Spencer Carmichael’s bunt advanced both runners, and Clint Veal’s groundout to short scored a run. Mooresville pitcher Jake Brennan coaxed a groundout from Jake Smith to end the game with the tying run at third. “That was one of the better summer ball games you will ever see,” Maddox said. “Both teams pitched it well and both teams played excellent defense.” VanderPoel had two hits for the Cavornets. Salisbury’s Dusty Agner took a tough loss. Salisbury is home tonight against West Iredell.
Intimidators in action The Kannapolis Intimidators lost 3-2 in 13 innings in the completion of a suspended game on Tuesday evening in Savannah. The game was suspended late Monday night tied 2-2. Kannapolis scratched out a 2-1 win in Tuesday’s regularly scheduled game to snap a four-game losing streak. Nick Ciolli and Trayce Thompson knocked in the runs.
West Middle baseball rolls West Rowan Middle defeated Knox 9-1 behind strong pitching by Michael Pinkston on Tuesday. Pinkston struck out seven batters in four innings and helped out at the plate by driving in three runs. Juan Garcia and Michael Ball had three hits apiece for the Bulldogs. West finishes its regular season at home Thursday against China Grove.

gle, but the next 14 hitters produced 14 outs against White. Erin Robertson led off the second inning with a single off the tip of center fielder Kayla Kirk’s glove, and right fielder Jessica Rummage threw out Robertson at second. East shortstop Ericka Nesbitt made a leaping catch of a line drive to begin the fifth, and Rummage followed with a shoestring catch in shallow right. White’s streak ended when Lugibihl recorded the first of three straight singles. “I knew they were solid defensively, and I knew the shortstop was just phenomenal,� Marvin Ridge coach Kevin Allran said. “She took three or four hits away from us that normally, at any other time during the year, that’s a hit.� Allran attended East’s third-round victory against Central Cabarrus, which fell behind 10-0 before losing 10-3. He wanted to avoid playing from behind, but the Mustangs didn’t cooperate. Nesbitt singled off third baseman Claudia Spinelli’s glove to start East’s half of the first, and Kirk drew a four-

Courtesy runner Heather Trexler scored when Potts capped an eight-pitch appearance with a double to rightcenter, and courtesy runner Courtney Lyerly came home on a Kluttz’s single. “I just kept saying to myself, ‘I’m not going to strike out; I’m not going to strike out,’ � said Potts, whose line drive eluded the glove of a diving Christy in center. “I saw the pitch coming, and it

‘Wear’ are they now? UCLA Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Twin brothers David and Travis Wear will attend UCLA this fall after leaving North Carolina. The sophomore forwards played for the Tar Heels last season and received their releases earlier this month. Both have signed written offers of financial aid from UCLA. UCLA coach Ben Howland said Tuesday that the Wears will redshirt next season and have three years of eligibility remaining starting in 2011-12. The 6-foot-10, 230-pounders played at Mater Dei High in Santa Ana, Calif.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The University of Michigan is punishing its own football program for violating NCAA rules. Michigan released details Tuesday of self-imposed sanctions it hopes will satisfy the NCAA, whose staff will hold a hearing on the case in August. The school says it will cut practice and training time by 130 hours over the next two years. It also banned some of its staff from attending practices, games or coaching meetings in 2010, and recommend two years of probation. Michigan disagreed with the NCAA’s charge that coach Rich Rodriguez failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance within the nation’s winningest college football program. The school also said it shouldn’t be subject to a repeat offender tag following a 2003 booster scandal in the basketball program.
It has happened three times in the NHL — most recently by the Flyers — and once in baseball, when the Boston Red Sox came back to beat the New York Yankees in the 2004 AL championship series. It’s just never been done in the NBA. “At some point,” Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said, “somebody is going to come from 3-0 down and win a series.” • PHOENIX — A cagy Phil Jackson says he has “no desire at all” to return to Chicago to coach the Bulls, though would “like to have a vodka” with the new owner of the New Jersey Nets. The Los Angeles Lakers coach addressed two reports by ESPN that the Bulls and Nets have worked through back channels to gauge his interest, saying Tuesday those channels haven’t reached him.
BASEBALL
PHILADELPHIA— A 21-year-old New Jersey man pleaded guilty Tuesday to vomiting on another spectator and his 11year-old daughter in the stands during a Philadelphia Phillies game. Matthew Clemmens, of Cherry Hill, N.J., pleaded guilty to one count each of simple assault, disorderly conduct and harassment for his conduct during an April 14 Phillies-Nationals game at Citizens Bank Park. Clemmens stuck his fingers down his throat and vomited on Michael Vangelo, an off-duty Easton police captain, and one of Vangelo’s daughters after Clemmens’ companion was ejected from the park, Assistant District Attorney Patrick Doyle said.

Roddick advances in French Associated Press
PARIS — Andy Roddick’s preparation for this French Open was hardly traditional. Or ideal, from a purely tennis perspective, anyway. He skipped a clay-court event in Rome so he could celebrate his one-year wedding anniversary with his wife, Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model Brooklyn Decker. He missed another tuneup tournament in Madrid because of a stomach virus. Scrambling to get set, Roddick played a couple of hastily arranged exhibitions and practiced a bunch at Roland Garros with fellow pro Mardy Fish, a pal since high school. If Roddick felt he needed more match time on his least favorite surface, he accumulated it in a hurry Tuesday, digging himself out of a hole and coming back to beat Jarkko Nieminen of Finland 6-2, 4-6, 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-3
in the French Open’s first round. “It’s kind of like when you miss an assignment in school, and they give you a chance to get extra credit. I’ve been trying real hard to get extra credit ... and I definitely wasn’t match-tough,” the sixth-seeded Roddick said. “There was a lot of ugliness out there today. But at the end of it, I get to play again.” So does a group of other Americans: Roddick and Fish are among five U.S. men into the second round, equaling the largest contingent at this Grand Slam tournament since six made it in 1998. Robby Ginepri knocked off 18th-seeded Sam Querrey 4-6, 7-6 (3), 64, 6-2 in an all-American match Tuesday, while John Isner and Taylor Dent won Monday. Two U.S. women won Tuesday, too, to join Serena and Venus Williams in the second round: Jill Craybas and Bethanie MattekSands.

Eastern Randolph took advantage of a third Knox error, along with two singles, in the top of the fifth to go up 4-0 and chase Brown from the game. Miller entered with two on, facing Eastern Randolph DH Ethan Clark. The first pitch Clark saw from Miller, he deposited over the right-field wall. Eastern suddenly led 7-0, stunning the home crowd. B u t Mauldin and Jones got the o f f e n s e rolling. Eight different Rowan players scored, as Jones and Laurens each crossed the JONES plate twice. Mauldin had three of Rowan’s nine hits. In what was definitely a sloppy fielding game, things didn’t look LAURENS too promising for Rowan early. But the home team showed that their bats can explode and they can score runs in bunches. Rowan will be receiving a makeover after East Rowan’s 26-2 team is done in the state playoffs. “My expectations are the same this year as they are every year,” Gantt said. “Win games because our fans demand it, make it to Asheville for the state playoffs and hopefully win that.” • NOTES: Rowan begins league play tonight at Newman Park at 7 p.m. when Kannapolis and ace pitcher John Tuttle come to town. ... In another game scheduled for tonight, the undefeated South Rowan Legion heads to Mooresville. ... Teams take a night off on Thursday before hitting the road Friday. Rowan heads to Concord while South goes to Lexington.

SUPER FROM 1B
Marshall returns to Panthers
“Everyone knows it’s risky,” said Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, whose bid was eliminated in the second round. It might end up being another Ice Bowl, Fog Bowl, Freezer Bowl or something else worthy of a frigid nickname. That’s not what the bidders had in mind when they adopted the slogan, “Make Some History,” but for all the inconvenience to those in the stadium, it might look great on TV. The extended version of Bart Starr’s game-winning sneak in the Ice Bowl in 1967 opens with Cowboys defenders scraping their cleats into the ice to try getting some traction. Teeth chatter just watching the replay of Tom Brady’s fumble that was ruled an incompletion in the snowfilled Tuck Rule game. In Brett Favre’s final game with the Packers, he ends a chilly playoff game by throwing an interception, then runs off with steam coming out of his mouth. “People talk about the weather, but, you know, this is football, not beach volleyball,” New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg told the NFL Network. The NFL has required an average temperature of 50 degrees or a dome for a team to even bid on hosting the Super Bowl, but the league bent the rule to let New York bid. It’s billed as a one-time ex-

New York Giants’ Justin Tuck displays his Super Bowl ring during an interview in Times Square. ception, but just a few years ago, the NHL experimented with an outdoor game on New Year’s Day, and it came off so perfectly that teams now fight to host what’s become the annual Winter Classic. Maybe this will work out that well, too. “I think it will turn out to be a great event,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said. The weather worries could even add to the hype. In addition to predicting which teams will make it, fans can guess how nasty it might be. “We’ve played some (frigid, wet December) games there and I know first-hand that the fans had great experiences even though it was in inclement weather,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. Players are split . In the Pittsburgh Steelers’ locker room, quarterback Byron Leftwich said the weath-
er doesn’t matter “because it’s the Super Bowl ... and you’re not going to let 15 degrees change anything.” But linebacker James Farrior countered, “I play enough games in the cold.” Giants and Jets players are thrilled. “There’s something special about this city, man,” Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis said following a rally in Times Square. “We should’ve done this years ago,” said Giants defensive end Justin Tuck, who also was part of that celebration. It’s been at least 57 degrees for every Super Bowl since 1975, when it was 46. That’s why Florida and California have been such frequent hosts. “In the back of everybody’s mind, people want to be in South Florida that time of year,” Ross said.

1. You’re Open.
You still turn your lights on; why not invite people in? If you are open for business you must market your business.
2. Opportunity.
If the pool gets smaller, your visibility increases your odds of being the vendor of choice and seizing share from your competitors.
3. Reliability.
Media mix is a desirable goal except during tough times when you need to rely more heavily on the core medium: newspaper.

4. Proven Results.
Condos and Townhomes
During tough times, your advertising needs to be focused on Return On Investment. Newspaper advertising is a proven ROI vehicle.
5. Fish Where the Fish Are.
The Salisbury Post and www.salisburypost.com offer the best local reach by a country mile and is the first place to look for consumers for your services. It is the ONLY medium where readers buy the product for the ads as well as the content.
Historic West Tower condominium. 2-story. 1,500 sq. ft. 2BR, 1½BA. Central air/heat. Stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, disposal, pantry & laundry room. Hardwood floors, fireplace, front & back yards w/parking and yard service. 9' ceilings. $795/ mo. 1 yr lease. Call 704431-4532
6. Tough Customers.
Be among the considered choices. The Salisbury Post is a marketplace for
shoppers and if you aren’t here, you may not be considered as a choice for those who are buying.
7. Credibility.
Advertising in a credible medium is an indication you are credible as well.
8. Bravado.
Never show your fear. Advertising indicates confidence in your business.
9. Start the Process.
Even if customers are not buying today, advertising is your opportunity to start people thinking about what to buy and where to buy it. It will pay off later.
10. It’s a Fact!
The Salisbury Post and www.salisburypost.com reach 74% of Rowan's adult population every week — more readers than five years ago. Include our weekly direct mail "Extra" product and you reach over 90%. The percent of Rowan adults who read the Charlotte Observer, Independent Tribune, or listen to any local radio stations: LESS THAN 20% COMBINED! The number of Salisbury Post/www.salisburypost.com subscribers and readers is INCREASING.

Is surgery appropriate for sports injury?
There is one hope, so go for it BY PHILLIP ALDER

German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, who was known for his pessimism, wrote, “Talent hits a target no one else can hit; genius hits a target no one else can see.” We are continuing our look at deals in which the defenders must be optimistic in trying to hit their target: the defeat of the contract. Against four spades, West leads the heart king. How should the defense go? West opened with a weak two-bid in hearts, promising a decent six-card suit and 6-10 high-card points. North had a textbook takeout double, showing short hearts and length (at least three cards) in the other three suits. At any other vulnerability, East would have followed the Law of Total Tricks and jumped to four hearts. (With 10 combined trumps, bid to the 10-trick level.) But with 4-3-3-3 distribution and unfavorable vulnerability, he raised only to three hearts. Note, though, that four hearts is laydown with only 16 combined high-card points. South had easily enough to compete to three spades. Remember that North would be assuming South had six or seven points, so South would not jump without noticeably more than that. And North hoped for 10 black-suit tricks when he raised to four spades. At trick one, East should ask himself where four tricks may come from. The logical answer is one heart and three diamonds. However, to maximize the chances of three diamond tricks, the suit must be led by

East through declarer, not by West around to South. So, East should overtake the heart king with his ace and shift to the diamond queen — which works beautifully.
Miss Universe pageant picks time, place in Vegas LAS VEGAS (AP) — Donald Trump and the Miss Universe pageant are making the Las Vegas Strip a summer hotspot for international beauty queens. The pageant announced Tuesday it will crown its 2010 winner on Aug. 23 at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino. More than 80 contestants from around the world are expected to participate. The announcement comes more than a week after 24year-old Rima Fakih (REE’mah fah-KEY’) of Michigan was crowned Miss USA in Las Vegas. She’ll represent the United States. The Miss Universe pageant includes swimsuit, evening gown and interview competitions.
Dear Dr. Gott: I am an active 50-year-old man with chronic shoulder pain. My doctor, a sports-medicine surgeon, wants to remove the bursa sac and maintains that the sac is not necesDR. PETER sary. Because I would like to GOTT remain active — especially in the gym — I am skeptical. Dear Reader: A bursa is defined as a small, fluid-filled sac whose purpose is to reduce friction between bodily tissues. There are 160 bursae throughout the body, all of which are located in areas of large joints, such as the knees, elbows, hips and shoulders. The main symptom of bursitis of the shoulder is severe pain, primarily
on movement. Causes include arthritis, infection, injury to the site or, most likely in your case, overuse. Symptoms are commonly treated by resting the affected joint, and with cold packs, anti-inflammatory over-thecounter medications, heat once any swelling disappears and antibiotic therapy for infection. Some cases don’t respond to simple treatment and require aspiration of the bursa fluid. This procedure is commonly performed in a physician’s office and may be followed by a cortisone injection into the affected area. When inflammation in the subacromial bursa adds to pain experienced, the lubricating sack is often removed by a surgeon in a procedure known as bursectomy or debridement. Generally speaking, recovery is rapid, because range-of-motion exercises are begun soon after surgery in an attempt to ac-
celerate rehabilitation. Now comes the difficult part. You need to sit down with your specialist and explain that you want to remain physically active. Determine how long you might anticipate the recovery period to last and whether there will likely be any unwanted side effects. Your surgeon knows your case and should be able to predict the outcome based on your general health. Ask whether he plans to do arthroscopy, which will be less invasive and require less recuperation rather than make a larger incision, which will take longer to heal.
Dear Dr. Gott: I have been on your No Flour, No Sugar diet since last July, and so far have lost 40 pounds. I recently found a millet and flax bread. It is made with millet flour and brown-rice flour. Is it acceptable on your diet? If Dr. Peter H. Gott is a renot, that’s OK because I don’t tired physician and the aucrave bread anymore. thor of several books.
NBC News networks devote day to immigration issues NEW YORK (AP) — NBC and its related networks, including MSNBC and the Spanish-language Telemundo, are devoting much of their time on newscasts today to discussions of immigration. NBC News is wading into an issue rife with hostility. Its own role in doing the stories will be watched as closely in some circles as the stories themselves, which will include release of a poll on American attitudes toward immigration.
NBC had been considering the concentrated look at immigration even before the latest flashpoint, the Arizona law requiring authorities to question people about their immigration status if they are suspected of being in the country illegally, said Alex Wallace, senior vice president of NBC News. “The whole goal, honestly, is to show as much as possible the two strongly felt sides of this,” she said. “Nightly News” will look at the impact of the law, and
Dear Reader: If a product contains flour, then it isn’t acceptable. I recommend sprouted grain or organic sprouted whole grain and seed breads that don’t contain flour. Millet flour is a glutenfree product made from grain. It resembles wheat but is superior in terms of content. A single serving has 15 percent of the RDA of iron, and is high in potassium, magnesium and B vitamins. Brown-rice flour is glutenfree 100 percent ground-rice grain. The “flour” is ground from un-hulled rice kernels and is used as a flour substitute in many recipes. Because of the natural fats and oils in the grain, it has a tendency to turn rancid rather rapidly, so small amounts are commonly purchased to avoid spoilage.
at other states considering similar measures. The “Today” show will do stories on how immigration affects families, and “Dateline NBC” will show previews of an upcoming series on migrant children in the United States. MSNBC will devote some portion of every show to immigration. Telemundo’s morning program “Levantate” will broadcast from Arizona, the first time in its history the show has gone on location.

General Mills to join North Carolina Research Campus BY EMILY FORD
eford@salisburypost.com
CHARLOTTE — General Mills will focus on vegetable and whole grain research when the cereal giant joins the N.C. Research Campus. The addition of General Mills helps define a “nutritionag angle” that is forming at the Research Campus, said Clyde Higgs, vice president for business development for Research Campus developer Castle & Cooke. Other high-profile campus tenants interested in boosting the nutritional value of food include Monsanto and Dole Food.
General Mills, the maker of Cheerios and Wheaties, will have the best name recognition of any company at the campus. Founder David H. Murdock, chairman of Dole Food Co., opened the campus in 2008. Another well-known company, PepsiCo, last year backed out of an agreement to join the campus, citing the recession. Minneapolis-based General Mills will lease a 1,500-square-foot space in the Core Laboratory Building, company spokesperson Maerenn Jepsen said. Two General Mills employees will begin work in Kannapolis next month, Jepsen said. The company is expected to release more details in June about the research it will conduct and how
many employees will work in Kannapolis. Companies are attracted to the Research Campus because they have access to state-of-the-art equipment and the opportunity to work with scientists from branches of eight North Carolina universities who are studying health, nutrition and agriculture. Opening a lab in Kannapolis is an investment for General Mills, Higgs said. “It will help them with their product line at the end of the day,” he said. General Mills’ decision to join the campus “endorses Murdock’s vision,” Higgs said. Companies that General Mills al-

Small business owner celebrates in Washington, D.C. BY SHELLEY SMITH
ssmith@salisburypost.com
As President Barack Obama urged Congress to pass a $30 billion small business jobs package while also honoring the Small Business Association’s (SBA) business persons of the year in the White House Rose Garden, Salisbury business owner Beatrice Hair sat in the front row. “This is an issue that involves putting our government on the side of the small-business owners who create most of the jobs in this country,” Obama said Tuesday. Hair, the 2010 North Carolina Small Business Person of the Year and founder of Salisbury Tutoring Academy, is celebrating her accomplishment all week in Washington, D.C. during National Small Business Week. “The Small Business Association has rolled out the red carpet,” Hair said. Meeting Obama and hearing him speak, was “unbelievable,” she said. “It was surreal to actually be sitting there,” she said. “He encouraged us that we are the people that run the small businesses, and that he was there to honor us.” Hair was one of about 12

people who Obama shook hands with, and the only one he got a photo with. “I was awestruck,” she said. “You can see a person on TV. But when you’re literally there, it’s close contact. I could see everything he was about as a person, and the strength in which he was conveying his message.” Hair said Obama stressed that America’s economy was counting on the small business owners. “He taught us the economy is riding on people like us to take risks, which has been the across-the-board message,” she said. Sunday night, upon her arrival to the week-long event, the SBA welcomed all 2010 business persons by flashing their businesses on large screens, along with a banner with her name and business. Hair said the reception Sunday and events since have been filled with many different people, “who are just excited about their work.” “Hundreds of people here are actually passionate about what they do,” she said. “It’s very refreshing and inspirational. I feel like I’ve just made lifelong friends here.” Hair has also met several

She said her students back in Salisbury were anxious to hear the stories about her trip, and for her return. Terry Dwayne Lark James W. McKenzie John ‘Elmer’ Goodman Frankie Hartsell Hallie B.

Her biggest thanks for the entire experience goes to the University of Phoenix, she said. “They customized my master’s degree for me so that I could get my master’s while I was working,” she said, noting that the University of Phoenix customized her online learning just as she does for Salisbury Tutoring Academy students. “This is like an unbelievable, once-in-a-lifetime, breathtaking experience,” she said.

House discusses mobility fund BY KARISSA MINN
kminn@salisburypost.com
While the state Senate’s $19 billion budget does not include a new transportation fund that would help pay for the widening of Interstate 85 around the Yadkin River Bridge, the N.C. House is still considering such a fund, albeit a smaller one than first envisioned. According to Gov. Bev Perdue’s budget proposal, the N.C. Mobility Fund would be used “for multi-modal transportation projects of statewide significance that are linked to statewide economic goals.” The first of these projects would be the widening of a 6.8-mile section of I-85 on either side of the Yadkin River Bridge. This second phase of the I-85 Corridor Improvement Project is now estimated to cost between $120 million and $130 million. In her proposed budget, Purdue would generate money for the fund by raising automobile and light truck registration fees, drivers license record fees and other miscellaneous registration fees. Another $22 million would come from a reduction in the annual distribution of money from the Highway Trust Fund to the General Fund. This would add up to $94.6 million for the first year of the recurring N.C. Mobility Fund. The Senate passed its version of the budget Thursday without the fund. N.C. Sen. Andrew Brock, a Republican who represents Rowan County, said legislators are uncomfortable with raising fees in a down economy.

Higgs appeared at the Charlotte Regional Partnership Annual Awards Luncheon. General Mills representatives did not attend the announcement. “We see this partnership as a unique opportunity to collaboratively uncover solutions that could improve the nutrition of food, including whole grains and vegetables,” Lane Johnson, director of agricultural research for General Mills, said in a state-
ment. About 70 percent of the space at the Research Campus is leased, Higgs said. The David H. Murdock Research Institute owns and operates the Core Lab Building. The state leases two large scientific research buildings and a biotech training center for Rowan-Cabarrus Community College. However, not all of the leased space is not filled, Higgs said. General Mills operates in more than 100 countries and markets more than 100 consumer brands, including Häagen-Dazs, Nature Valley, Betty Crocker, Pillsbury and Green Giant. The company had global net sales of $15.9 billion last year.

By better understanding disease, researchers can develop new therapies that are safer, targeted to the right patients and more effective in prevention and treatment of disease, Dr. Louis Matis, president and CEO of the Immune Tolerance Institute said in a release. In Kannapolis, the new center will pursue the identification of biomarkers, which can help diagnose disease and develop drug therapies. Biomarkers also can aid in predicting the course of a disease and how a patient’s will respond to a medicine. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration points to biomarkers as one of the most critical areas for improving medical product development, shortening development times, reducing both costs and failure rates in drug development and guiding bet-
ter-informed patient selection for targeted therapies. The center in Kannapolis will try to find new ways to investigate the biological mechanisms of disease, as well as better predict the efficacy and safety of new medicines. “Such efforts have the potential to enhance human health and disease management and reverse the recent trends that have led to higher costs of medicine and slowed the pace of new treatment development,” Dr. Mike Luther, president of the Murdock Research Institute said in a statement. Research Campus founder and Dole Food Co. chairman David Murdock established the Murdock Research Institute as a nonprofit organization to support groundbreaking research at the Research Campus. The Murdock Research Institute boasts one of the most complete life sciences labs in the world, which attracts collaborators like the Immune Tolerance Institute.

Replacement of the bridge itself will be paid for with $10 million from a federal TIGER grant and $20 million in DOT Division 9 Transportation Improvement Program funding. The rest of the $136 million total will be funded with GARVEE bonds. “We want to establish this mobility fund so that down road, this will be used for major projects, and it will be outside the equity formula,” Coates said. “These projects ought not to be (ruled by) the equity formula, because, my lands, they don’t just benefit District 9, they benefit the whole East Coast.” Brock agrees that the equity formula is flawed, but he doesn’t support the N.C.

School board presents pared-down capital outlay budget BY KATHY CHAFFIN
kchaffin@salisburypost.com
In presenting the proposed 2010-11 capital outlay budget to the Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education Monday evening, Assistant Superintendent Gene Miller said, “It’s hardly even worth mentioning because there’s not much there to talk about.” With the exception of $300,000 designated for matching funds projects in the schools, Miller said the
$2,099,000 budget “is really kind of for the emergency things and safety things that come up.” The proposed budget is down from this year’s $2.6 million capital outlay budget and less than half of the 2008-09 capital outlay budget of $5.43 million. “That’s the ugly part of the budget,” Miller told board members. One reason for the lower budget is Gov. Bev Perdue’s diversion of the state money for
capital projects in public schools to the general fund for the second year in a row. In 2008-09, the Rowan-Salisbury School System received $2.36 million in state capital funding. Another reason is the $2.27 million payment the school system is having to make toward the 1992 bond debt. “That is really the crux of our problems right now,” Miller said on Tuesday. “We’d have an extra $5 million if we didn’t have to pay all this bond debt, but we do ...
“The agreement at that time was that the Board of Education would pay the principal and the county commissioners would pay the interest. We’ve got until 2015 or 2016 before that’s paid for.” Miller, who is responsible for school system operations, divided the proposed capital outlay expenditures into three categories: land, buildings and improvements, $1,615,000; furniture and equipment, $460,000; and vehicle purchases, $24,000.
The largest expenditures in the land, buildings and improvements category are as follows: $690,000 for alterations and additions (per schedule); $150,000 for high school athletic renovations; $150,000 for roof replacements (per schedule); and $150,000 for security systems/telephones. Though the athletic renovations appropriation is not earmarked for any particular schools, Miller told board members there are several

Daphne Safrit said the picture will go on display next week, after it has had enough time to dry. Employee Gary Thornburg said it was fitting to have the three cats captured artistically. “They add a little joy to everyone’s day,” Thornburg said. Each cat has its own distinct personality. Goethe is pronounced “Gerta,” since they found out she’s a girl after they’d named her for the male German philosopher. She can usually be found by the register, keeping an eye on business. Dickens, the long-haired cat, usually slumbers somewhere out of reach, but sometimes comes out to meow at passing customers. And Oscar, the only male of the group, often makes the leather sofa toward the back of the store his perch. The cats take turns sunning in the window among the books on display. “They greet you at the door,” regular customer Kathleen Tronsor said. While Daphne Safrit was ringing up her purchases, Tronsor was petting Goethe. “Every store needs a kitty-cat,” Tronsor said.

CHINA GROVE — Property owners may face a tax hike, the first such increase in years. The town board proposed an increase during its Tuesday budget session, the third of a series. The suggestion was to increase the current 38 cents tax rate to 43 cents per $100 of assessed value, the highest it’s been in at least six years. In 2008, that town board decreased the 40 cents tax rate to 38 cents, where it’s remained since that time. One of the options was to raise the property tax and include a solid waste fee increase,
When Jack Eller was running for sheriff, he frequently complained about break-ins all over Rowan County and lack of action by the Sheriff’s Office. Now Eller, who lost in the May 4 primary, is the latest victim. Thieves stole 17 guns from a duplex owned by Eller, his wife, Teresa Sides Eller, and his son, Jonathan. Among the guns was a .357 Smith & Wesson, a retirement gift from Rowan ELLER County to Glenn Sides upon his retirement from the Sheriff’s Office. Eller, the self-proclaimed mayor of Woodleaf, left no doubt about his feelings: “I’m pissed off.” But he has more guns. “They didn’t steal all my damn guns, I got enough to kill the one that took them,” Eller said Tuesday. He’s particularly upset by the theft of six pistols that belonged to Sides, his father-in-law. Sides had left the guns to his grandson, Jonathan Eller, when he died. Jack and his wife, Teresa, say the list of guns stolen includes shotguns, rifles and the six pistols. They estimated the value at more than $5,000.

Planning Board votes to rezone properties BY SHELLEY SMITH

but the overall consensus from the board was to just drop the fees. The two proposals were for either a $5 a month or $10 a month solid waste fee. Councilman Charles Seaford said it didn’t make sense to increase this year and again in the next budget year. “We need to look two to three years down the road,” said councilman Lee Withers. Councilman Ron Overcash said if the board raised taxes by 5 cents then they should drop the fee increase. “Just because our neighbor charges a fee doesn’t mean China Grove should,” he said.
The Salisbury Planning Board voted in favor of rezoning 23 acres off Henderson Grove Church Road, changing the property from light industrial (LI) to heavy industrial (HI). The land, owned by Dyke Messinger, is adjacent to a recently rezoned piece of property owned by John Leatherman. Leatherman’s acreage was also rezoned to HI. “It will be important to have land use planning along this corridor in the future,” Preston Mitchell, senior planner for Salisbury, told the board. “Clearly the capital investments have been made. Now the private property owners are starting to respond to those capital investments made along Town Creek.” Mitchell told the board HI meant that one could have fabrication and processes occurring both within an building and outdoors. “Noise, odor and fumes are the issues you really begin to deal with with heavy industrial,” he said. Two board members, Karen Alexander and Albert Stout, voted against the rezoning. “If you’ve ever lived in the country before, there’s no such thing as a buffer when it comes to heavy industrial noise,” he said, noting the 400 feet buffer required for HI. “I understand the wisdom of the Salisbury City Council, but I have to deal with my own conscience. I didn’t agree with the idea the first time

China Grove board considers tax hike
Pfeiffer trustees appoint interim president The Pfeiffer University Board of Trustees has appointed David J. McIlquham, 55, former Sealy CEO, to serve as interim president. This appointment comes less than a month after an announcement that the school’s current president, Dr. Chuck Ambrose, will leave the university after 12 years to lead the University of Central Missouri. McIlquham, who has served as a Pfeiffer trustee for nearly two years, will assume the post July 1, following Ambrose’s departure June 30. As interim president, McIlquham will lead the university and all of its departments. He will function as the primary liaison between the board and the faculty, administrative staff and students.

Art in motion
Literary Bookpost on Main Street is probably known to many just as “the bookstore with the cats.” Three black felines, Goethe, Dickens and Oscar, make the store their own. “They give the store a lot of character,” said owner Deal Safrit. Now, thanks to a visiting author and artist, they are immortalized on canvas. Emily Eve Weinstein, painter and author of several books of art — including a book of cat portraits — was in town Saturday to celebrate the closing of an exhibition at Waterworks Visual Arts Center. She held a reception and signing at Literary Bookpost, with an unusual twist. “I hate to drive this far and not do something special,” Weinstein said. In her painter’s clothes, with easel and palette at the ready, she proceeded to paint a picture of the Literary Bookpost’s aisle with three black cats on the prowl. As she painted, she talked to guests about technique and shared stories of her art. Her most recent book, “Saving Magic Places,” is an artistic journal of landmarks preserved through the efforts of diverse groups of people. Landscapes, buildings and people populate
needs, including a rubberized surface for the track at East Rowan High School. Miller said the school system’s roofs are generally in good shape due to an aggressive replacement and repair schedule prior to the economy going sour. “We don’t have very many major roofs leaking right now,” he said Tuesday. “It would be nice to go ahead and stay on our schedule. We know

and I can’t agree with it a second time.” Alexander also spoke about the buffer zone, claiming that 400 feet, which is equivalent to one block in downtown Salisbury, is not enough. “Except for the occasional sliver, all heavy industrial zoned land is being used,” Mitchell said. “It is important to have heavy industrial land within your zoning jurisdiction.” The board also voted in favor of the rezoning of a property owned by Livingstone College — 721 Old Plank Road. The property is a 2,500square-foot house, which the college will use for meeting and event space. State Alexander, director of public relations for the college, spoke in favor of the rezoning, and the board voted unanimously in favor of the rezoning. Both rezoning requests will be brought before the Salisbury City Council on June 15. Also discussed in detail was the Comprehensive Bicycle Plan. “The staff is certainly in support of the plan,” Mitchell said. “The plan is a vision. It sets our goals and objectives, it establishes policies and standards, and also provides recommendations to the city. “The plan is not a development project.” The mission statement for the plan is: “To develop Salisbury as a bicycle friendly community for the pursuits of transportation, recreation and environmental and human health.” The board was given a nearly one-hour review of the plan, but agreed to select a committee to go over the plan in detail, and address any question any planning board member may have. Mitchell said the bicycle plan would be flexible. “This wouldn’t be considered an appendix of the 2020 Plan, just another long-range plan in your toolbox,” he said.
HIKE
FROM 3A The increase would bring in more than $109,000 to the budget and possibly keep the town from borrowing from the fund balance to balance the budget. The town staff went back to see if there were cuts they could make after last week’s meeting. The staff came up with more than $60,200 in cuts to the administration, governing body, community development, planning and the parks and recreation budgets. The staff recommended cutting out all contracted services, which includes town consultant, Ron Niland, with All American Associates. The staff also suggested trimming down on the days Community Planner Emily Jackson works for the town to just one day a week. Jackson, of Benchmark CMR Inc., currently handles planning and zoning matters for the town a couple of days a week. The Parks and Recreation Department typically doesn’t spend all of its budget each year, said Town Manager Bill Pless. Last year the parks and recreation department was budgeted with more than $75,547 and its estimated it’ll use about $61,872 at the end of this fiscal year. This coming year the estimated budget to that department will fall somewhere at $70,500. The issue the board continued to struggle with was balancing the sewer/water budget. The sewer/water budget is not balanced, but stands at more than $1.9 million combined. China Grove receives water from Salisbury-Rowan Utilities. At the time the town entered into a contract with Salisbury it used more water than it does now, but they are still billed for the old amount. The town is in talks with Salisbury about a possible merger that would help reduce its rates or to renegotiate the contract terms. The contract ends in seven years. Public Utilities Director Kent Mishak cleared up some misconceptions among the board. He said although the town doesn’t always use the 300,000 gallons they are charged by Salisbury-Rowan
Stout questioned the need for the plan. “It is consistent with the 2020 plan to have a community more bicycle (and pedestrian focused),” said Dan Mikkelson, city engineer for Salisbury. “When the City Council authorized for staff to apply for this grant, the City Council made the decision that this is a step in the right direction.” Mikkelson said the same has held true for sidewalk construction throughout the city. “Everywhere we’ve installed sidewalks, pedestrians have begun to use it,” he said. Stout asked if the city has studied the amount of bicycle traffic accidents in the past year. Board member Bill Wagoner noted the bicycle plan stated there had been 17 accidents in the past nine years. Board member Richard Huffman asked what direction the staff was getting from City Council. “The Department of Transportation is getting anxious that we’ve not presented the plan to the City Council,” Mikkelson said. “They would like to see a completed document; they funded it.” “I’ve had several City Council members pull me aside and ask me about the plan,” Mitchell said. “Mainly, concerns have been from DOT perspective and a staff perspective. “We worked hard to build this particular plan.... This is not code, this is policy. Please know that this can change just like the Land Development Ordinance can change. “The agency (who put the plan together) worked close with the steering committee and staff. All in all, all the proposed improvements were based on sound engineering and research.” The board voted to have a committee of Huffman, Benjamin Lynch, Stout and Herman Felton review the plan. The next Salisbury Planning Board meeting will be held at 4 p.m. Tuesday, June 22 in the City Council chambers, 217 S. Main St. Utilities, the town still uses close to that amount. Essentially, since the town is billed for that amount it tries to use that amount. On average it uses somewhere between 225,000 and 275,000 gallons. The current rate for water is $8 per 1,000 gallons and $9.50 per 1,000 gallons for sewer. Last year’s sewer rate went up from $9 to $9.50, while the water rate remained the same. The town staff came up with three options the board could consider concerning the water and sewer rates. One of the possibilities is to increase the minimum number of gallons a person uses from 1,000 to 2,000 gallons. There is an average of 773 people who use less than 1,000 gallons. If the town increases that minimum to 2,000 gallons that would mean one-third of the users — 461 people — would pay more with an increase in the minimum amount they consume. Councilman Lee Withers said when the town has gone up on its minimum rates in the past, all of those customers just decreased the amount of water they used, which resulted in a loss for the town. The proposed options would mostly affect the people who use water the least. The theory is that if the town raised the rates, the customers would just use more because they can. That has not worked the last few times the town increased its rates. If the town had more industrial water/sewer customers it would cover much of the cost. Right now they have about three industrial customers. Another option is to decrease the rates, not increase the debt service, which covers the money not made when customers use less water. The staff agreed to come up with some figures that would allow the town to increase the minimum use to 2,000 gallons, decrease the rates and not have to increase the debt service. The board made no final decisions and will further discuss the changes following its regular meeting next week. The board will have a public hearing June 16. The board will meet for its regular meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

SCHOOL FROM 3A
about how long they’re going to last, and there’s a couple that we’re going to have to replace in the next one to four years.” Last year, the school system spent $400,000 to replace a roof at Overton. The roof would have ordinarily cost about $600,000 to $700,000, he said, but the bids came in significantly lower because the economy is so bad. “It’s just bottom of the barrel right now,” he said. Also included in the land, buildings and improvements category is $100,000 for an Office of Civil Rights compliance project. Miller said the Office of Civil Rights, during a courtesy visit this year, found the school system to be out of compliance by not having smooth walkways for physically handicapped students to get from school buildings to playgrounds. Because it was just a courtesy visit, he said, Office of Civil Rights representatives told school officials to start working on a plan to address the problem. Miller said he proposed a plan giving the school system three years to add the walkways, and the Office of Civil Rights accepted it.
Other expenditures are as follows: $100,000 for renovations to wastewater plants; $30,000 for mobile classroom relocations; $50,000 for boiler replacements (per schedule); $50,000 for paving improvements (per schedule); $20,000 for upgrading fire alarm systems; $25,000 for energy management; and $100,000 for a refundable energy grant. The largest expenditure in the furniture and equipment category is $300,000 for matching funds projects, which Miller said would amount to about $500,000 in projects once the respective schools raise their percentage of the funds. Other expenditures are as follows: transportation program equipment, $10,000; maintenance program equipment (mowers), $30,000; furniture (schools/administration), $75,000; technology infrastructure (schools/administration), $25,000; media equipment (schools/administration), $10,000; and musical and choral equipment, $10,000. The vehicle purchases category includes $24,000, which Miller said could be used for emergencies. As with the roof repairs, he said the school system is in pretty good shape with vehicles due to its repair and replacement schedule.

“Nobody’s driving a vehicle that’s unsafe or anything right now,” Miller said. He added, however, that the money is there just in case a vehicle is stolen, catches on fire or is in an accident where the driver is at fault and the insurance company won’t pay. With this small of a capital outlay budget, Miller told school board members, some needed repairs won’t be possible. For example, he said, in the case of aging playground equipment, the school system will simply have to shut down the equipment to avoid risking injury to students and to comply with the insurance carrier requirements. “That’s all I know to do,” he said. “That will be a primary example of what we’ll be dealing with next year.” The proposed capital outlay budget includes an $897,470 appropriation from the school system’s fund balance. Miller said more than half of that will be left over from this year’s capital outlay budget. This year’s budget included $796,847 from the fund balance. “We were very frugal this year,” Miller said. “We did not do any major projects.” The board approved the proposed capital outlay budget by a unanimous vote.

“I am extremely excited and equally honored for the opportunity to serve a university that I have come to know and for which I have developed a great fondness,” said McIlquham. “It will be a privilege to work alongside the students, faculty, staff, alumni, fellow trustees and all the constituents who make Pfeiffer University such a special place.” Hunter also announced the appointment of Bobby Stewart, who will serve as the university’s interim chief operating officer. Stewart came to Pfeiffer
fort in taking fingerprints,” Eller said. “The last time, they didn’t.” Eller said he may try find out on his own who took the guns. “Right now, I’ve got to calm down a little bit first,” Eller said. He’s going to find time to do a little investigating while operating his trucking business. “It’s just sad. I’m trying to get out and work. I’m
keeping up half the damned country, people on welfare, people on disability. I have to keep working and you have to keep one eye on your stuff. It’s a hell of a situation.” And Eller figures jail isn’t a deterrent. “If they get caught, they just go lay around in jail.” Anyone with information on the break-in is asked to call the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office at 704-216-8700.
in 2004 as director of athletics. As chief operation officer, Stewart will maintain the dayto-day operations and to serve as thea primary liaison between the university and its legal and financial partners. He will provide direct oversight of Pfeiffer’s administrative and business affairs and will have access to related departments and other areas within the university to help them operate efficiently. Stewart earned a bachelor’s degree from Wake Forest and a law degree from the University of South Carolina School of Law. Both McIlquham and Stewart will be active participants of the Presidential Search Committee, which is charged
with recruiting and selecting a new university leader. Last week, the board named a search committee comprised of faculty, staff, alumni, a student, trustees and business and community leaders, who will be responsible for selecting a nationally respected executive search firm to help recruit qualified candidates. The group will also develop a process timeline and presidential profile outlining the desired experiences, credentials, attributes and skills the next president will possess. They will then make a final recommendation to the board of trustees on the strongest candidate to become Pfeiffer University’s ninth president.

N.C. man charged with posing as Marine officer WILMINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A man who pleaded guilty last year to altering an identification card after he was spotted in the uniform of a three-star Marine general has been charged again with posing as a highly decorated Marine officer. Sixty-seven-year-old Michael Hamilton of Richlands was charged last week with wearing a Marine colonelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uniform and three counts of wearing medals, including two Navy Crosses, the second highest award for valor, according to court papers. Hamilton was photographed wearing the uniform and medals at Jacksonvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vietnam Memorial during a military recognition day ceremony last month. It is a federal offense to claim or wear military decorations and carries punishment of up to one year in prison and a fine. Hamilton is to appear in federal court next month. He said Tuesday that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about the charges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no comment,â&#x20AC;? Hamilton said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not immediately clear if he has a lawyer. In a biography distributed at the April ceremony, Hamilton claims he was promoted from private first class to colonel between 1961
and 1969 and was awarded 80 medals, including two Navy Crosses. An affidavit filed by investigators said the highest rank Hamilton attained was private first class. Hamilton only served nine months and was discharged in February 1962, according to the affidavit. It said his only decoration was a rifle qualification badge. This is not the first time Hamilton has been in charged for fraud related to military service. Hamilton was investigated in 2007 for wearing the rank of a three-star general and altering a military identification card, according to court papers. He pleaded guilty to altering the identification card in 2009 and was sentenced to probation for six months, records show. John Cooney, the adjutant of the Beirut Memorial Chapter of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, attended the ceremony in April and was happy to hear Hamilton had been charged again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is about time something is done,â&#x20AC;? said Cooney, 69, who served two tours in Vietnam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The disservice he did to the 58,000 dead on that wall was unforgivable.â&#x20AC;? About 58, 000 Americans died of combat related injuries in Vietnam.

Former U.S. Senate candidate supports Cunningham Former U.S. Senate candidate Jim Neal announced Monday that he is endorsing current U.S. Senate candidate Cal Cunningham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve watched Cal closely as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken his campaign to the people of North Carolina. I want to tell you directly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cal Cunningham is the real deal,â&#x20AC;? Neal wrote in a letter to supporters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I vote for Cal, I hope that as many of the quarter of a million Democrats and Independents who cast their votes for Jim Neal two years ago will do likewise for Cal Cunningham on June 22.â&#x20AC;? Neal, a Chapel Hill businessman who ran a grassroots campaign in 2008, currently serves on numerous non-profit boards, including the North Carolina Justice Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NC Policy Watch. Neal said that he would work to encourage his 2008 supporters to go to the polls for Cunningham in the Democratic runoff. Cunningham welcomed Nealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s endorsement in a press release sent from his office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m honored to have the support of Jim Neal, whose grassroots campaign in 2008 inspired hundreds of thousands of North Carolina Democrats and Independents,â&#x20AC;? he said in the press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be proud to work with Jim as we grow our coalition to win on June 22, defeat Richard Burr in November and fight to bring jobs back to North Carolina." Cunningham also has been endorsed by the North Carolina Association of Educators, North Carolina Teamsters, the Sierra Club, the Winston-Salem Journal, the Southern Pines Pilot, the Wilmington Star-News, VoteVets, and retired General Wesley Clark.
Holshouser endorses Johnson in bid for 8th District seat CONCORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Former North Carolina Gov.

Holshouser was the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 68th governor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I strongly endorse Haroldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s candidacy based on his conservative values and his dedication to serve the people of North Carolina,â&#x20AC;? Holshouser said, according to a press release from Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harold Johnson has served this country honorably and has the sound judgment and composure required to do the job effectively.â&#x20AC;? The candidate also has been endorsed by former Governor Jim Martin, the only other Republican governor to be elected in North Carolina in the past century. In the press release, Johnson thanked Holshouser for his support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am thrilled to have the support of Governor Holshouser and so many others,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But this campaign is really about the people, so I am truly honored by the support weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re receiving at the grassroots level as well.â&#x20AC;?

Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college receives $1.7M estate gift RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A North Carolina womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college has received an estate gift of more than $1.7 million from an alumna, one of the largest individual gifts in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. Meredith College announced on Tuesday that the gift was from Joyce Causey, a native of Tarboro and member of the class of 1955. A portion of the bequest will be used to fully endow an Alumnae Legacy Scholarship at the school, located in Raleigh. The scholarship is the highest honor available to an incoming freshman, and has an estimated value of $135,000 over the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college career. The bequest will also help support Meredithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new athletic field and track complex, which opened in the fall of 2009.

Senate wants to approve $451M debt package
House gives initial OK to school reform bill RALEIGH (AP) — Facing a deadline next week for the state to apply for up to $400 million in federal grants, the state House gave initial approval Tuesday to legislation sought by Gov. Beverly Perdue laying out more options for local education leaders to improve low-performing schools. The House voted 68-45 in favor of legislation adopting federal guidelines by allowing the State Board of Education to give school districts four ways to retool more than 130 public schools where less than half of the students met expectations in standardized tests two of the past three years. The biggest change would allow districts to “restart” a typical school by giving it the same flexibility as a charter school without making it independent from the district. Charter schools are exempt from many rules of most public schools and can test innovative learning techniques or focus more on children at risk of failure. The bill, which could receive final approval Wednesday, wouldn’t lift the state’s cap of 100 charter schools that’s been in place since 1996. Lawmakers have been nervous about raising or eliminating the cap on the traditional
charter schools, which also are run by private boards. The measure instead would offer the ability to create “charter-like” schools, in addition to other methods to help continually low-performing schools. The other three are increasing class time and improving teacher performance; removing the principal and teachers; and simply closing the school. “What this does is give multiple options for reform,” said Rep. Rick Glazier, D-Cumberland, the bill’s chief proponent. “There are more reforms out there than the charter model.” Perdue sought the change by June 1 — that’s when her administration has to file an application to seek the second round of “Race to the Top” federal education reform grants. North Carolina finished well out of the money for the first round of applications in March. The state didn’t score well when it came to charter schools and other innovative schools. Several Republican House members criticized the proposal as simply window-dressing to impress the judges in the U.S. Department of Education competition. They said school districts already had the ability to rework schools using the other three options
beside the charter-like method. “It’s a fig leaf,” said Rep. Nelson Dollar, R-Wake. “It’s not really reform.” Boosters of charter schools held a news conference to argue the proposal won’t do enough to help the state’s next Race to the Top application because it doesn’t lift the 100charter cap. The House approved a separate bill last year to raise the cap 106 but it’s languished in the Senate ever since. Darrell Allison, president for Parents for Educational Freedom in North Carolina, a pro-charter school group, said while the bill approved Tuesday isn’t awful, it fails to get at the root problem that about 18,000 children are on waiting lists for traditional charter schools. “North Carolina is once again positioning itself to forfeit hundreds of millions of dollars due to its inaction in moving strong on public charter school policy this legislative short session,” Allison said. Perdue said the bill isn’t necessary for the application, but it will “strengthen North Carolina’s case for making all schools successful and making sure all students receive a quality education,” Perdue spokesman Tim Crowley said.
point in an Orange County forest in 1995 and raping the woman. He also kidnapped, robbed and attempted to rape real estate agents in separate 1998 incidents. In between, Pratt was arrested in 1997 and charged with stabbing a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill lacrosse player. If DNA had been taken after that stabbing, investigators might have tied Pratt to the forest assault sooner and prevented his further crimes, Cooper said. But the proposal crashes into the U.S. Constitution’s ban of the government carrying out unreasonable searches and seizures, ACLU of North Carolina policy director Sarah Parker said. The Fourth Amendment requires that before officials can search a person they must secure a warrant supported by indication that there is probable cause pointing to a person as a suspect. “Certainly with people who are presumed innocent, this turns our system on its head,” Parker said. Parker also warned of the institutional “mission creep” that creates the possibility that the database could be used in the future for purposes not intended today. “DNA contains a lot more information than a fingerprint does. It contains your entire genetic makeup,” she said. Cooper said there are about 190,000 samples in the state’s database, Cooper said. The proposed expansion would add about 45,000 samples a year, he said. Gov. Beverly Perdue supports expanding DNA collections and asked for $700,000 in the state budget in part to train local law enforcement on how to collect DNA properly. The Senate removed the money in its version of the $19 billion spending plan for the year starting in July. The House is currently making changes to
the Senate budget. Almost monthly, DNA databases are credited with solving crimes old and new. But opponents often object to samples taken from people who are just suspected of a crime. Last week, the Oklahoma House rejected a proposal to take DNA samples from suspects accused of felonies and violent misdemeanors before they go to trial. Great Britain, where police can take DNA or fingerprints when arresting a suspect, has one of the largest DNA databases in the world with profiles of more than 5 million people.
Tougher penalties OK’d for N.C. animal cruelty law RALEIGH (AP) — Lawmakers have recommended raising penalties in North Carolina for people who maliciously abuse or kill animals. A dog that had been beaten and burned in Greensboro was in the committee room as members approved the measure Tuesday. The bill makes it a lowgrade felony instead of a misdemeanor if a person intentionally starves an animal to death. A person would be guilty of the same felony if an animal is tortured, mutilated or disfigured. The punishment would be up to eight months behind bars, but a judge could agree to community service or probation instead. The bill was introduced after a man received probation for abusing a female pit-bull mix. The dog was later adopted and named Susie and was at the meeting with supporters.

AG Cooper urges DNA samples taken upon arrest RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina lawmakers are wrestling with whether the state can collect DNA samples from suspects in violent or sex crimes while still protecting the rights of people who haven’t been convicted. A state House committee on Tuesday reviewed expanding a crime-fighting database of DNA samples beyond those already convicted of a felony or sexual battery. A revised version introduced Tuesday would direct police to collect the samples from saliva rather than by drawing blood. Samples would be entered into state and national databases to determine whether a suspect is wanted in other unsolved crimes. The government would be required to destroy the DNA data of people whose charges are dismissed or who were never charged, then notify the former defendant that his data was expunged. Twenty-three other states from Vermont and Florida to California already collect DNA samples from those arrested but not yet convicted, legislative researchers said. That includes Virginia, Tennessee and South Carolina. Advocates including Attorney General Roy Cooper said the change would solve cases faster, prevent violent crimes by getting attackers off the streets, and provide the evidence preventing the innocent from wrongful convictions. Seven years ago, Cooper helped pass the current law requiring all convicted felons to give DNA samples. “We are not serving the public well unless we use DNA technology to the fullest extent,” Cooper told members of a House judiciary committee. “This law can prevent violent crime from occurring.” Cooper cited the case of Robert Pratt, who is serving prison time after kidnapping two men and a woman at gun-

“I think it’s insane,” said Sen. Bob Rucho, R-Mecklenburg. “Now is not the time to add more debt to the people.” Sen. David Hoyle, D-Gaston, who supports the package, said using special indebtedness has been the routine at the General Assembly in recent years. Stevens said nonvoter-approved debt can help build essential construction projects more quickly. The proposed $450.9 million package would spend $130 million for repairs and renovations to state and university buildings, with $55 million to buy equipment for community colleges and UNC-system campuses. N.C. A&T’s engineering building would get $104.4 million and N.C. State’s building would get $161.5 million. The package also would have to pass the House and be sent to Gov. Beverly Perdue, who said late Tuesday she didn’t yet know much about the bill’s details.

The study said in February — without the new package — that the state’s debt service would hit 3.99 percent by 2012 before debt capacity improves. Cowell spokeswoman Heather Franco pointed Tuesday to the February study showing that debt service should in no way exceed 4.75 percent of revenues. “We are in conversation with members of the General Assembly about balancing the need for a select few critical projects in the midst of this recession with the need to maintain the conservative debt ratio that has served the state well in the past,” Franco said. Other lawmakers are critical of placing more debt on the state, which already makes payments of more than $600 million annually. The debt would be issued as so-called “special indebtedness” that doesn’t require approval of voters. The last voter-approved debt package was approved in 2000.

at North Carolina State University in Raleigh and North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro. They say interest rates are low and construction companies are desperate for work as the state attempts to get out of the recession. “It’s an ideal time to borrow money and it’s an ideal time to build things,” said Sen. Richard Stevens, R-Wake, one of the bill’s primary sponsors. The Senate Finance Committee is slated to consider the package Wednesday. Senate Democratic leaders also back the measure as a way to help the state graduate more engineers so it can compete with other countries to attract jobs in high-tech and math-oriented fields. A debt affordability study released annually by a panel headed by the treasurer has used the 4 percent debt limit as a key marker whereby North Carolina can be almost assured of keeping its treasured top-level credit rating.

RALEIGH (AP) — The state Senate proposed a $451 million debt package Tuesday that would pay for state building repairs, equipment for community college and university campuses and engineering buildings at two University of North Carolina system schools. The borrowing package wouldn’t require statewide voter approval and at the same time move the state beyond a self-imposed debt limit calculated by a state panel led by State Treasurer Janet Cowell. Legislators have stayed below the panel’s targeted threshold of an annual debt service equal to no more than 4 percent of state revenues used for operating expenses. If approved, the debt service would equal 4.25 percent of state revenues, Cowell’s office confirmed late Tuesday. Senators who back the bill said it’s an important time to repair aging buildings and to expand engineering programs

GOING GLUTEN FREE
BY SHAVONNE POTTS
spotts@salisburypost.com
At the beginning of his sixthgrade year in school, Asa Hollingsworth found out he was not like most kids. He discovered he had an autoimmune digestive disorder, celiac disease that causes damage to the small intestine when foods containing gluten are eaten. It is not like a food allergy that can potentially be grown out of; it’s a lifelong disease. There is no known cause and the only treatment is to completely remove gluten from the diet. Obvious sources of gluten include breads, cereals, crackers, pasta, pizza, cookies, gravies and sauces. Hidden sources of gluten may be found in lip balms, spices, herbal tea, medications and food additives. “As many as one in 133 American adults suffer from an intolerance to gluten,” said Anna Deboyace, a Rowan Regional nutritionist. Deboyace, who also has celiac disease, is a facilitator for a monthly celiac disease support group. She said the number of people who suffer from the disease could be even higher since celiac disease is often misdiagnosed. Misdiagnosis is perhaps how Asa went so long without realizing he had celiac disease. He was experiencing attention-deficit disorder-like symptoms, which doctors indicated could be normal at his age. He was given medication, but soon began to lose weight. “His grades started falling. He was always an A/B student,” said Susanna, Asa’s mother. The ADD medication he was given didn’t seem to make any improvements. “I didn’t feel any different,” Asa said. A doctor at Salisbury Pediatrics tested Asa for celiac disease. At the time, there was another child in the family’s church who had celiac disease, so the Hollingsworths were somewhat familiar with the it. “I didn’t fully understand,” Asa said. The lining of the small intestine, which is filled with villi or hair-like projections that absorb nutrients becomes damaged from eating gluten and other proteins found in wheat, barley, rye and possibly oats. In undiagnosed or untreated celiac disease, these villi become flattened and it affects the ability to absorb nutrients properly. One of the major symptoms is digestive and intestinal issues like diarrhea or constipation, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or unexplained weight loss. Asa had some of the symptoms, like diarrhea and occasional vomiting and queasiness, but didn’t notice them, he said. The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness estimates 97 percent of those with the disease don’t know they have it. Reading food labels is key in managing the disease. “It is totally controlled by diet,” Susanna said. Foods that can be incorporated into the gluten free diet are poultry, beef, fish, dairy, fruits, vegetables, rice and corn. Special gluten-free foods can be found at supermarkets
SHAVONNE POTTS/SALISBURY POST
Susanna Hollingsworth has to carefully read labels while grocery shopping to make sure they are gluten free after son, Asa, 13, was recently diagnosed with celiac disease. She travels to Charlotte once a month to shop at Trader Joe’s.
Gluten-free taco seasoning 2 tsp. instant onion flakes 1 tsp. chili powder 1 tsp. salt 1 ⁄2 tsp. dried red pepper 1 ⁄2 tsp. cornstarch 1 ⁄2 tsp. garlic powder 1 ⁄2 tsp. cumin 1 ⁄4 tsp. oregano Combine ingredients.
or purchased online. It can take Susanna about an hour to grocery shop because much of her time is spent reading labels. “I make a monthly trip to Trader Joe’s in Charlotte. I also go to Harris Teeter,” Susanna said. She recently found out she can special order some items at Harris Teeter. “I learn as I go,” she said. She’s received help and advice from the celiac support group. “The group is really great,” Susanna said. Most things that growing teenagers eat on a regular basis including pizza, cookies cereals or even taco seasoning, Asa cannot eat. The family buys gluten-free foods that Asa along with his parents and two siblings all can eat.
“It’s easier to make one big meal,” Susanna said. Often it’s trial and error to see what foods are gluten-free and actually taste good. Sometimes it’s a hit and sometimes it’s a miss. Asa’s friends call his gluten-free food “the food that bounces.” He brought a muffin that his friends discovered if rolled up and dropped to the floor, it bounces. “They tasted weird and when it got cold is would bounce,” Asa said. Although his school cafeteria has several items to choose from that he can eat, Asa often opts for salads and vegetables. “The hardest part is school lunches. Sometimes it’s annoying,” he said. Asa’s mother closely monitors his diet, but sometimes he slips and eats foods he shouldn’t. During Youth Commission International, a student-led evangelical club at Asa’s school, he would customarily eat doughnuts during the meetings. “They were so amazing,” he said of the doughnut holes. His favorite food that he misses eating is Chinese food, particularly General Tso’s Chicken. He recently discovered there is a glutenfree form of this dish. Restaurants can coat the chicken with cornstarch instead of flour. A local Chinese restaurant has mentioned to the family they could create a gluten-free General Tso’s Chicken for Asa. Despite having to sometimes eat
other foods while the majority of people around him are able to eat without precaution, Asa has a good attitude about his gluten-free existence. “He has not complained much at all,” Susanna said. Most people who have celiac disease lack fiber, so Susanna makes certain Asa eats plenty of fruits and vegetables. The family also eats plenty of quinoa, (pronounced keen-wa), which is a gluten-free grain that can be used in soups, pasta dishes and as a hot cereal. When the family gets a chance they frequent Posana, a restaurant in downtown Asheville that offers gluten-free meal options. One of the members of the support group suggested the family try the restaurant. “They have some of the best food I’ve ever tasted,” Asa said. During brunch at the restaurant Asa was able to eat coffee cake, carrot cake, bread and muffins. Many of the gluten-free meals Susanna makes are from various websites, she’s found or that have been suggested by others. “It’s really good to get together with people dealing with the same thing you are,” Susanna said. May is Celiac Awareness Month. Learn more about the disease by visiting www.celiac.org.

Bringing science to the kitchen BY KATIE SCARVEY Salisbury Post
Catawba College alum Jasika Nicole is known for playing a young FBI scientist on the hit TV show “Fringe.” In real life, Jasika brings science to the kitchen in her gluten-free cooking. Her partner, Claire, has celiac disease. “She always NICOLE knew she had an allergy to wheat, but wasn’t officially diagnosed with the new testing until a couple years ago,” Jasika says. While Claire doesn’t like to cook, Jasika does. “I refuse to have my diet suffer because of anyone else’s intolerance, so I have become a knowledgeable gluten-free cooker and baker,” she says. “I have lots of recipe books and

Cucumbers, celery, herbs available at Farmers Market BY SUE DAVIS
Extension Master Gardener Volunteer
When you enter the market from Main Street, you can’t miss the display of colorful plants and hanging baskets displayed by Joyce’s Greenhouse and Nursery. As you approach the booth, you quickly learn that Doug and Joyce work as a team helping customers and answering questions. Joyce’s Greenhouse has been a part of the Rowan - Salisbury Farmers Market for 20 years. As a Rowan County native, still living within 2 miles of the family homestead on Old Mocksville Road, Joyce is proud of her contribution to the growth of the market. A market day for Joyce and Doug begins early and runs long after the market closes, but they both enjoy the time with the people so it makes the work lighter. It takes two
hours or so to load and unload their plants, and even more time planning what to bring and what to start for the next growing season. When asked what they like to do when they are not working, Joyce answered “shop!” without hesitation. Her favorite plants are Lantana and Million Bells, which she features in baskets. Doug would like more time for golf, but admits he seldom gets to play. They both enjoy vacation at the beaches of southeastern North Carolina. Local cucumbers make their first big splash this week. The weather conditions have made this growing season a challenge for many of our farmers. Correll Farm has Celery Root or Celeriac, frequently featured in gourmet magazines and cookbooks. Celery Root has a knobby, strange appearance. When peeled, it is a cream-colored pungently flavored vegetable.
It is popular in purees, soups and salads. Don’t be put off by the way the vegetable looks. Once it is peeled, its easy to manage. You cook it like a potato, boiling, baking or roasting or you can eat it raw in a salad. To serve four you will need about 2 pounds of celery root. Ask for recipes at the booth. Specialty herbs are available from several vendors. Lemon Thyme, many types of basil, lemon balm and more can be found. Look for interesting vegetable plants to grow on patios and in small spaces at Dawn’s Greenhouse. For more information about the Farmers Market visit www.salisburyfarmersmarket.com. The Farmers Market is located in downtown Salisbury at the corner of South Main and Bank streets. Visit the Farmers Market on Wednesdays from 7 a.m. until DARRELL BLACKWELDER/FOR THE SALISBURY POST 1 p.m. and Saturdays from 7 Joyce Cable answers questions about mosquito plants. a.m. until noon.

Dear Anxious: Though you obviously have your suspicions, you don’t have any proof of this pilfering — and the window of time between their visit and your inventories leaves some room for doubt.

Dear Amy: My wife and I recently hosted a get-together with my wife’s old friend from high school and her husband. Before they left, we set a date for us to visit them. It so happened that two days before their visit I had cleaned and rearranged the medicine cabinet in my bathroom. Two days after their visit, I noticed that some medication was missing. They each had a visit to that room. We had no other guests during that time. My wife wants to keep our scheduled visit to their home. I do not want to visit them because I think they stole medication from me. How do I handle this situation? — Anxious

Dear Mom: You don’t say what problems your 12-step meetings address, but if you are battling addiction, perhaps you could imagine that some of the issues that drove you to your 12-step program have also had a profound impact on your daughter. Children of people with addictions struggle with anger, frustration and anxiety. You don’t seem willing to see your own behavior from your daughter’s perspective, but you should try. For instance, if she feels you overindulge her children and corrects you on this score, is she “chastising” you or merely asking you to respect her values? Does your self-described “hipness” prevent you from drawing clear boundaries, establishing expectations and acting like an adult? Rather than tolerating abuse and then avoiding your daughter, you should ask her if she could work with you to try to do things differently.
You know from your 12step work that you cannot control or change someone else. If you have to create more distance from your daughter to protect yourself from her bullying, then you’ll have to step back from the relationship until things change.

me. She has two children and just started working, but she was like this before the pressures of her job. I try to be supportive by taking my grandchildren overnight and picking up any slack whenever she needs me. I give her “date” nights with her husband, etc. She has “chastised” me for giving the children too many gifts. She’s quite the bully. Help! — Mad Mom

Dear Amy: I am writing for some help with my adult daughter. She is in her 40s and is very short-tempered and disrespectful in her comments toward me. I am a very spiritual and “hip” mom, but I’m at a loss about how to handle this. I am in a 12-step program, and it teaches me patience, acASK ceptance and AMY tolerance, but when is enough enough? I have tried to speak to my daughter about her behavior on several occasions. She is impatient and curt with me. When I brought the issue up at my 12-step meeting, at least 15 women had the same problem! Let’s face it — you can’t “punish” adult children. You can’t give them a timeout, and it isn’t politically correct to interfere with them as married adults. I don’t know what to do with the feelings I have. I am beginning to avoid my daughter, due to her extreme judgmental attitude toward me. I have not lectured or tried to correct my daughter — I’ve decided to avoid her. She hangs the phone up on me if I even “hint” at not agreeing with her. I love her dearly and would never break off the relationship, but I’m not “feeling it” any longer, and that scares

I am savvy enough about the staples of a gluten free diet to turn virtually any ‘regular’ recipe into a celiac-safe one, but my favorite way to try new things is by going to gluten-free blogs. There are tons out there, but my favorite is the ‘I Am Gluten Free’ blogspot. “This woman has dedicated much of her free time to creating delicious gluten-free recipes, and so far none of them have failed me.” “As for myself, I am not gluten free on purpose; it’s just that since Claire and I live together, most of what I eat is gluten free by default. “I don’t think that gluten is a bad thing though. It affects some people poorly and others it has no effect on, like me —I have been without gluten for weeks at a time and never noticed a difference in my body or energy from when I was eating it to when I was not. “But of course for people like Claire, who has celiac, and even other friends of mine who don’t have a diagnosis or an allergy but who still feel very ill after coming into contact with gluten, their body is trying to tell them to stay away from something, and when they listen to it they feel healthier all around. “I can’t say that the glutenfree things I make taste exactly the same as glutenous ones, but I can say that they taste just as good. “Instead of replacing glutenous things with non glutenous one, I look at my glutenfree baking as merely an addition to the world of food. I can make banana bread with wheat, or with rice/tapioca/potato starch flour, and neither one is supposed to be a substitute for the other; they are both just two delicious versions.”

WHAT’S BEST FOR COUNTY
Barber ought in an ideological box to step aside Locked Voter discontent straining party allegiances R
owan County Commissioner Jon Barber has taken the first step toward recovery by admitting he is an alcoholic. Now he should resign from the county commission and take care of his problem in private. If last week’s incident were Barber’s first run-in over alcohol, remaining in office might be plausible. Anyone can make a mistake, and that was obviously the case when a deputy found Barber passed out behind the wheel of his car in February 2008. Barber pleaded guilty to DWI, apologized to fellow commissioners for the publicity and vowed that he would be “undefeatable against the diseases I have.” The only disease he acknowledged, though, was his newly diagnosed diabetes. Driving under the influence is more than a mere mistake; it’s a threat to public safety. But Barber’s friends and political supporters stood by him. When Barber emerged as the top vote-getter in the May 4 primary, he and local voters appeared to have put the 2008 incident behind him. Last week’s incident changes everything. Barber was pulled from his classroom at Southeast Middle School Wednesday after students sent text messages to their parents saying he appeared to be drunk. He resigned from his teaching position Thursday and immediately became the subject of news stories and headlines. Still, all Barber would say was that he left work early and was resigning to pursue other opportunities. The more obvious truth came out quietly on Monday, when Barber e-mailed a letter to the Post and asked that it be published on the Opinion page. “I have spent years minimizing and, yes, denying a simple fact — I am an alcoholic,” Barber wrote. “I can no longer do so.” Good for him. That’s a painful fact to face, and an even more painful one to admit publicly. Barber did the right thing by recognizing that he had a problem. Despite cries of condemnation from some corners, plenty of people are urging Barber to hold on to his commission seat as he undergoes treatment. Leaving office now could have political consequences for the entire county, depending on how commissioners fill the void and who wins in November. But if alcohol has so clouded Barber’s judgment that he would appear under the influence in front of his students, politics should be put aside. Barber needs treatment and Rowan needs strong leaders; the two do not mesh. By remaining in public office while he battles the bottle, Barber puts himself and the county in further jeopardy. The Code of Conduct for County Commissioners is clear: “County Commissioners should respect and comply with the law and should conduct themselves at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity of the office of county commissioner and of county government.” Jon Barber may come back to fight for his ideals another day. For now, though, he should show respect for the county and his office by stepping down.

H
alfway through the 2010 primary season, the fundamental tension in the American political system is becoming more clear: A liberal government is struggling to impose its agenda on an electorate increasingly responsive to an activist conservative movement operating inside the Republican Party. Most evident in the periodic eruptions of tea DAVID party support BRODER for right-wing candidates for governor or senator, the counterrevolutionary forces have just begun to test their strength directly against the Democratic majorities that seized power from George W. Bush in 2006 and made that takeover more complete in 2008 with the election of Barack Obama. Saddled with the burden of attempting to enact the progressive measures on which they were originally elected and to meet the costs they inherited from two wars and the massive recession that ushered them into office, the Democrats are facing a populist backlash against the interventionist, expensive policies that Obama and others have pursued. The struggle has dominated this session of Congress with protracted fights over health care and financial regulation that have widened the ideological gap between the parties. The intensity and constan-
cy of the legislative warfare have denied the public one of the main goals voters sought in electing Obama — a truce between the parties. But it is not yet clear that Republicans will be punished for declaring war on the president. The Republicans have exploited this new emphasis on governmental austerity with significant election victories in such normally Democratic states as New Jersey and Massachusetts, and signals of potential losses for Democrats in Illinois, Delaware and Pennsylvania. Meantime, the voters in both parties are showing the instability of past preferences by rejecting seemingly wellestablished incumbents in favor of untested challengers in states as diverse as Utah, Florida, Arkansas and, once again, Pennsylvania. This has made Pennsylvania’s five-term Sen. Arlen Specter the archetypal figure for this year, a man who was literally run out of the Republican Party by the challenge of a junior former House member and the ill-financed tea party movement, and then upset in his new home in the Democratic primary by an even more unknown Joe Sestak, a stranger to most voters across the state until his ads began three weeks before Election Day. In his unwarranted euphoria after beating Specter, whose party-switching was a conspicuous example of the calculated self-interest that voters associate with professional politicians, Sestak proclaimed that his victory was “a win for the people, over the
LETTERS Family appreciates community support I’m the father of Tom Cowden, and I’d like to thank all of the people who participated in the 5K run for my son at West Rowan High School on May 22. I understand it was a huge success. Tom and I are in Memphis, Tenn., at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, where Tom is being treated for medulloblastoma, a brain tumor and cancer that affects mostly children. His mother and my wife, Christi, spends the weekends with us until he starts chemotherapy in July, and then I will be the one traveling and she will be staying in Memphis. The staff and community associated with West Rowan High School have been extremely supportive. They have raised money in a variety of ways, through FFA and the school in general and now this 5K run. My daughter and inlaws did attend the 5K and reported that the support was huge. We as a family are so indebted to these people, and I want to publicly thank all of them. Special thanks go to Brittney and Jason Chester, Clarke Adams, Bob and Deonna Blake and Todd Bell, as well as all of the administration and staff and friends and families that have helped us so. Our ordeal will continue until winter, and we will be traveling quite a bit between our home and Memphis.

establishment, over the status quo, even over Washington, D.C.” By adding the capital to his list of losers, Sestak seemed to signal his disrespect for Obama, who had warmly endorsed Specter. And that spotlights one of the great unknowns in the unresolved tension now confronting Democratic candidates: whether to run with Obama or against him. Republicans in Congress made their choice more than a year ago when they decided to fight Obama even on the stimulus bill that pumped billions into their own recession-crippled districts. As time has gone on and the signs of economic recovery have become clearer, Obama has shown increasing force in defending his own early action and decrying the Republican opposition. But Democrats remain nervous about lining up behind Obama. More of them are ready to rest their hopes on the Republicans’ allowing themselves to be dragged too far to the right than are signing up to promise to sustain the president in future battles to cope with the challenge of fiscal deficits. The combination of a volatile political environment and the rapid approach of the midterm voting makes it hard for Democrats to rally behind the president. But so far, they have discovered no other strategy. • • • David Broder's e-mail address is davidbroder@ washpost.com.

Political lessons To the people who voted for me — thank you! Allow me to share a few thoughts about this campaign. I learned a great deal about politics, but politics and business have much in common. One reads the signs and uses communication skills, which I learned
years ago in business; the game is not so different. I use the word “game” because to men, politics is a game, and I am sorry to say, the individual with the most money usually wins. That individual can afford to get his name out in the most ways, i.e. commercials, yard signs, etc. Howard Coble is a friend of mine and on April 10, in Moore County, I told him that if I could not win, I would endorse him and none of the other contesters. Coble is honest and has the integrity we must have in a Washington. I have always maintained the only thing needed was more fight, and Howard does listen. I will continue to write and expose those things corrupt, doing all I can as a citizen to save our country in the next two critical years. I will support Howard Coble with any information that I find and help him in all ways. Primary voting numbers were disappointing — 86 percent did not vote. To save this country we must be more involved! — Cathy Brewer Hinson High Point

ublic interest in wars and “man-caused disasters” (formerly known as the war on terror) isn’t what it used to be, except when men try to cause disasters, as in the recent attempted bombing of Times Square. But one war that always attracts public attention is the war over textbook content. ShapCAL ing how the THOMAS next generation thinks is as much about politics and the way one views the world as it is about education. The Texas State Board of Education last week adopted new social study and history curricula. After weeks of comments from the public and heated rhetoric between Republicans and Democrats on the Republican-controlled board, board members voted along party lines on what to teach 4.8 million Texas public school students about history, social studies and math over the next 10 years. The vote is important because Texas is the second-largest textbook buyer in the country and influences textbook content for much of the rest of the nation. This war has been going on since 1961 when a Texas couple, Norma and Mel Gabler, launched their textbook crusade. According to the Washington Post the Gablers, “guarded the schoolhouse door against factual errors and what they perceived as left-wing bias. Usually one and the same in their view, the transgressions they spotted were often enough to knock the offending book from the running for statewide adoption.” The firestorm they helped ignite has been burning ever since and flares up each time textbooks are to be revised. At the heart of it all is a dispute over what kind of nation America was and is. Some conservatives claim it was — and is — a “Christian nation.” But what does that mean? What would a Christian nation look like? Would individuals love their enemies, instead of denouncing them? Would people live within their means? Would individuals, rather than government, be doing more to feed the hungry, visit prisoners and care for widows and orphans? Would there be fewer abortions, less sex outside of marriage, not as many divorces and less cohabitation? Would there be harmony among the races in a Christian nation? None of these describe modern America and so defenders of the “Christian nation” belief cling to references by the Founders to “Divine Providence” and similar euphemisms for the Almighty and want them in textbooks. To prove what? The left started this war by attacking what was for years taken for granted about America, most especially that we are an exceptional country. The proof is the number of people who want to come here and the selflessness displayed by our citizens in the treasure we've spent and the blood we’ve spilled on behalf of others. Too many on the left seem embarrassed by America’s prosperity and standing in the world. The right seems just as committed to tearing the country down, literally and figuratively. When liberals rewrite textbooks, inserting their own spin on history, they are said to be engaging in academic freedom. When conservatives attempt to do the same, they are called censors, bigots, anti-scientific and worse. It’s too bad that people of different political stripes can't agree on a common approach to history and the ever-changing social scene. And because they can’t, the textbook wars are likely to continue. • • • Cal Thomas’ e-mail address is tmseditors@ tribune.com.

Oil well plug effort readied; probe cites cronyism between companies, agency overseeing wells WASHINGTON (AP) — BP readied yet another attempt to slow the oil gushing into the Gulf on Tuesday as a government report alleged that drilling regulators have been so close to the industry they’ve been accepting gifts from oil and gas companies and even negotiating to go work for them. President Barack Obama prepared to head to the Gulf on Friday to review efforts to halt the disastrous flow. Scientists said underwater video of the leak showed the plume growing significantly darker, suggesting heavier, more-polluting oil is spewing out. BP’s next effort to stop the gushing oil will, perhaps Wednesday, is to involve a procedure called a “top kill,” in which heavy mud and cement are to be shot into the well to plug it up. The procedure has never been tried a mile beneath the sea, and company executives estimate its chances of success at 60 to 70 percent. In Washington, the Obama administration said it has been laboring to root out problems at the agency that regulates offshore drilling.
N. Korea severs all ties with S. Korea, raises war rhetoric SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Relations on the divided Korean peninsula plunged to their lowest point in a decade Tuesday when the North declared it was cutting all ties to Seoul as punishment for blaming the communists for the sinking of a South Korean warship. The announcement came a day after South Korea took steps that were seen as among the strongest it could take short of military action. Seoul said it would slash trade with the North and deny permission to its cargo ships to pass through South Korean waters. It also resumed a propaganda offensive — including blaring Western music into the North and dropping leaflets by balloon. North Korea said it was cutting all ties with the South until President Lee Myungbak leaves office in early 2013, the official Korean Central News Agency said in a dispatch monitored in Seoul late Tuesday. The North’s Committee for the Peaceful Reunification said it would expel all South Korean government officials working at a joint industrial park in the northern border town of Kaesong, and South Korean ships and airliners would be banned from passing through its territory. The North’s committee said it would start “all-out counterattacks” against the South’s psychological warfare, and called its moves “the first phase” of punitive measures against Seoul, suggesting more action could follow.
GOP senators vent anger, partisan complaints to Obama WASHINGTON (AP) — If President Barack Obama thought having a private lunch with Republican senators would ease partisan tensions in Congress, he grabbed the wrong recipe. The president walked into a remarkably contentious 80minute session Tuesday in which GOP senators accused him of duplicity, audacity and unbending partisanship. Lawmakers said the testy exchange left legislative logjams intact, and one GOP leader said nothing is likely to change before the November elections. Obama’s sharpest accuser was Bob Corker of Tennessee, a first-term senator who feels the administration undermined his efforts to craft a bipartisan financial regulation bill. “I told him I thought there was a degree of audacity in him even showing up today after what happened with financial regulation,” Corker told reporters. “I just wanted him to tell me how, when he wakes up in the morning, comes over to a luncheon
like ours today, how does he reconcile that duplicity?” Four people who were in the room said Obama bristled and defended his administration’s handling of negotiations. On the way out, Corker said, Obama approached him and both men repeated their main points.
Gunmen battle Jamaican security forces; 30 dead KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — Thousands of police and soldiers stormed the Jamaican ghettos where reggae was born Tuesday in search of a reputed drug kingpin wanted by the United States, intensifying a third day of street battles that have killed at least 30 people. The masked gunmen fighting for underworld boss Christopher “Dudus” Coke say he provides services and protection — all funded by a criminal empire that seemed untouchable until the U.S. demanded his extradition. Coke has built a loyal following in Tivoli Gardens, the poor West Kingston slum that is his stronghold. U.S. authorities say he has been trafficking cocaine to the streets of New York City since the mid-1990s, allegedly hiring island women to hide the drugs on themselves on flights to the United States. Called “president” and “shortman” by his supporters, Coke does not wear flashy clothes or hold court at Kingston nightclubs like other powerful gang bosses. The few published photographs of the 5-foot-4-inch Jamaican the U.S. Justice Department calls one of the world’s most dangerous drug lords show an unassuming man with a pot belly. On Tuesday, masked gunmen in West Kingston vanished down side streets barricaded with barbed wire and junked cars. The sound of gunfire echoed across the slums on Jamaica’s south coast, far from the tourist meccas of the north shore.
Senate nominee Paul adjusts image before hometown audience BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) — Dressed in doctor scrubs, senatorial candidate Rand Paul sought to ditch the image of politician in his first campaign appearance since a round of interviews in which he dismayed fellow Republicans by discussing his views on racial segregation. Paul spoke to a friendly audience at a civic club Tuesday in his hometown of Bowling Green. He drew chuckles when he described last week’s campaign victory with the words of English novelist Charles Dickens: “It was the best of it times. It was the worst of times.” Last week Paul suggested that the federal government shouldn’t have the power to force restaurants to serve minorities under the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Paul told the local group he doesn’t want to repeal the Civil Rights Act. Paul also said he expects there will be a campaign staff shakeup, though he declined to give details. He won the GOP nomination last week with a campaign staff made up largely of political novices and volunteers.
Lifting military’s ban on gays in doubt WASHINGTON (AP) — A lukewarm endorsement from Defense Secretary Robert Gates and opposition among some lawmakers cast doubt Tuesday on whether Congress this week would lift a 17-year-old ban on gays serving openly in the military. Gay rights’ groups predicted that the bill might pass the House but face a tough road in the Senate. “The door isn’t closed, but it’s barely cracked,” said Aubrey Sarvis, executive director of Servicemembers Legal Defense Network Executive Director.

The plan would overturn the “don’t ask, don’t tell” law but still allow the military to decide when and how to implement any changes to accommodate the new policy.
Mass. inquest into ’86 killing by ex-Ala. professor over QUINCY, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts judge has completed a closed-door inquest into the 1986 shooting death of the brother of a former university professor accused in Alabama of killing three colleagues. Norfolk District Attorney William Keating ordered the inquest into whether Amy Bishop intentionally shot her teenage brother at their suburban Boston home. The shooting originally was ruled accidental. Supreme Judicial Court spokeswoman Joan Kenney says an inquest report was finalized Tuesday and delivered to Norfolk Superior Court. All documents are impounded until the district attorney decides not to prosecute or fails to win an indictment, a trial is completed or a judge determines trial is unlikely. Bishop says the February shooting deaths at the University of AlabamaHuntsville “didn’t happen.” Her family insists her brother’s death was an accident
Singer Mindy McCready hospitalized ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Mindy McCready, the country singer who battled drugs and legal woes but recently declared herself clean after a stint on “Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew,” was recovering in a hospital Tuesday after police responded to an overdose call at a Florida home. The overdose report came at 10:38 a.m. at a North Fort Myers home, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office. The property is owned by McCready’s mother, records showed. Cape Coral Hospital spokeswoman Karen Krieger would not say why McCready was taken to the hospital. “She is in good condition,” Krieger said. In an e-mail, McCready’s publicist confirmed the singer was in the hospital, and said the diagnosis has not been confirmed.
Stocks plunge early, then bounce back NEW YORK (AP) — A rally pushed the Dow Jones industrials back over 10,000 after the stock market sank to its lowest level of the year
Tuesday. The late-day rebound did nothing to erase lingering worries about Europe’s debt crisis. The Dow plunged more than 250 points after the opening bell and stayed under 10,000 most of the day, then charged back to finish down only 22 when signals from Washington suggested banks would not be forced to sell their lucrative derivatives units as part of financial reform. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index even managed a slight gain. But investors are still concerned about European debt, and that’s likely to mean more turbulent days like Tuesday. The market worries that even austerity measures by governments there will not be enough to

In this June 20, 2008 file photo, members of the 200th Red Horse Air National Guard Civil Engineering Squadron from Camp Perry in Ohio work on building a road at the border in Nogales, Ariz. The Obama administration announced Tuesday it was sending 1,200 National Guard troops to the border.

Troops to the Mexican border: y l r a e Obama to send 1,200 e n i l Celebration d a Democrats were considering countering McCain’s amendment with a proposal of their own after disclosure of the administration plans. The White House wasn’t expected to formally send its spending request to Capitol Hill until after the Memorial Day recess, said Kenneth Baer, spokesman for the White House Office of Management and Budget. A military official said Tuesday that details were still being worked out on the troops’ orders and destinations, adding that the timing of their deployment was not yet clear. Also undetermined was which units from which states would deploy. The Defense Department, which has been jousting with the Homeland Security Department for the better part of a year over the possible deployment, had previously expressed concerns that the troops not be used for law enforcement duties. Pentagon officials are worried about perceptions that the U.S. was militarizing the border. The administration’s plans appear to use Guard troops only in a supporting role, according to the military official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the details were still being worked out. Some of the troops will be armed, but others will not. Arizona Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords said the situation on the ground now is different from when Bush deployed the Guard. Arrests have fallen in the Arizona sector and there’ve been record drug seizures. She said the border is more violent and law enforcement is outgunned. She and other lawmakers want the troops to be armed — they were not in the previous deployment. She said the U.S. needs to “spend what it takes” to secure its border with Mexico. The Mexican Embassy said Tuesday it hoped the National Guard troops would be used to fight drug cartels and not enforce immigration laws. Mexico has traditionally objected to the use of military forces to control undocumented migration, saying such measures would criminalize migrants and open the way for potential abuse. Cecilia Munoz, White House director of intergovernmental affairs, told a group of Spanish-language reporters Tuesday that the National Guard troops would not deal directly with migrants. More than 20,000 Border Patrol agents are deployed now, mostly along the nation’s southern border.
Doctor fined over medical marijuana clinic HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A Montana physician who health officials say saw 151 patients in one day at a medical marijuana clinic has become the state’s first doctor disciplined in a marijuana case. The state Board of Medical Examiners determined Dr. Patricia Cole, of Whitefish, spent an average of six minutes with each patient during the October 2009 clinic. She is being fined $2,000 for breaching standards of practice.
The board says Cole didn’t document whether she took medical histories or physical examinations of patients, she did not discuss proper dosing and she failed to document a risk analysis of medical marijuana for them. Cole says she never breached the doctor-patient relationship and believes she’s being made an example of. She is banned from participating in further medical marijuana conferences.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Under pressure to take action, President Barack Obama is ordering 1,200 National Guard troops to boost security along the U.S.-Mexico border, officials said Tuesday, pre-empting Republican efforts to force a congressional vote to send the troops. Obama will also request $500 million for border protection and law enforcement activities, according to lawmakers and administration officials. The president’s action comes as chances for comprehensive immigration reform, Obama’s long-stated goal, look increasingly dim in this election year. Obama has been all but compelled to do something since Arizona’s passage of a tough illegal-immigration law thrust the border problem into the public spotlight. The National Guard troops will work on intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance support, analysis and training, and support efforts to block drug trafficking. They will temporarily supplement Border Patrol agents until Customs and Border Protection can recruit and train additional officers and agents to serve on the border, an administration official said. In 2006, President George W. Bush sent thousands of troops to the border to perform support duties that tie up immigration agents. But that program has since ended, and politicians in border states have called for troops to be sent to curb human and drug smuggling and to deal with Mexico’s drug violence that has been spilling over into the United States. The administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity ahead of a public announcement, disclosed the new White House plans shortly after Obama met at the Capitol with Republican senators who pressed him on immigration issues including the question of sending troops to the border. Arizona Sens. John McCain and Jon Kyl have been urging such a move, and Republicans planned to try to require it as an amendment to a pending war spending bill. In a speech Tuesday on the Senate floor, McCain said the situation on the U.S.-Mexico border has “greatly deteriorated.” He called for 6,000 National Guard troops to be sent, and he asked for $250 million more to pay for them. “I appreciate the additional 1,200 being sent ... as well as an additional $500 million, but it’s simply not enough,” McCain said.

Marvelous Mustangs East one win from Raleigh BY BRET STRELOW
bstrelow@salisburypost.com
GRANITE QUARRY — Alexis Marko’s one-out hit E. Rowan 5 loaded the bases in M. Ridge 2 the final inning against East Rowan pitcher Chelsea White, who was working with a three-run lead. “I guess I should have been nervous,” East catcher Kayla Potts said, “but I wasn’t. I knew we were going to get out of it. “With our defense behind Chelsea, it’s pretty untouchable. Pretty good. Awesome.” White escaped that jam unscathed, and East advanced to the fourth round of the 3A softball playoffs with a 5-2 home victory Tuesday. The Mustangs (23-1) scored four runs in the bottom half of the first inning and took a 5-0 advantage to the fifth. A spot in the Final Four will be at stake when they face Jay M. Robinson (23-3) on Friday in Granite Quarry. “It’s exciting,” White said. “It’s the first time we’ve been to Round 4 since I’ve been here. We’ve pulled together really well, and our defense was really good today.” A wild pitch, squeeze bunt by White, double by Potts and single by Meagan Kluttz generated four quick runs against Marvin Ridge pitcher Caitlin Kurtz, who allowed an unearned run on a two-out error in the third inning. The Mavericks (24-5) finally scratched in the fifth, and Ashley Christy homered off White in the sixth. Hot-hitting Jordan Lugibihl and Megan Robertson opened the seventh inning with back-to-back singles. White struck out ninth-place batter Megan Martin, and Marko reached on an infield single. White retired Madison Arroyo on a check-swing popup to third baseman Mallory Drew, and Erin Kayton hit a game-ending comebacker to White. “I got a little worried, but I knew we’d come through,” White said. “I thought I really had to bear down and get us through this. Throw strikes, get them to swing and put the ball into play where we can make the out. I have a lot of faith in my defense.” White allowed 10 hits, twice the number East totaled. Marvin Ridge posted eight in the final three innings. JON C. LAKEY/SALISBURY POST

Rowan Legion rallies BY JORDAN HONEYCUTT sports@salisburypost.com
The familiar smell of Pinky’s hot Rowan 10 dogs and E. Randolph 7 the sound of Dr. Clyde Young’s trumpet ringing from Newman Park can mean only one thing. Rowan Legion baseball is back. In the first home game of the season, fans saw a frantic, fast-paced contest filled with a little of everything, including a 10-run inning by Rowan. Trailing 7-0 in the sixth, Rowan (2-1) got to Eastern starter Tyler See, knocking him out with three runs. Reliever Dustin Haithcox inherited a bases-loaded situation and had early control problems by walking the first two batters and giving up two runs. The downward spiral continued for Haithcox as Matt Mauldin delivered an RBI infield single, then John Knox atoned for three errors in the field with a clutch two-run double that brought Rowan within at 7-6.

After Haithcox plunked Hayden Untz to load the bases again, Chandler Jones drove home two more with a line-drive single. Matt Laurens kept it rolling with another RBI on an infield single that scored Jones for the second time in the inning. Wes Barker then doubled off new pitcher Zack Mills, driving home Laurens and making the score 10-7. “Our hitters just seemed to see it better, and (Haithcox) was throwing a bit slower,” Rowan coach Jim Gantt said. “And our guys just put better swings on it. I think the first guy (See) was throwing split-fingers and he had a lot of movement on the ball.” Stellar relief pitching from Matt Miller helped seal the win. Ethan Marsh picked up the save by throwing a scoreless ninth. Eastern Randolph drew first blood in the game in the top of the second inning when errors by first baseman Zack Simpson and shortstop Knox, allowed two runs to score off Rowan starter Dakota Brown.

Brrrr! Super Bowl coming to New Jersey BY JAIME ARON Associated Press
IRVING, Texas — February. Gray skies. Snowflakes. Brrrrrrrr. Well, grab your boots and plow the snow. The Super Bowl is coming to the Meadowlands. In New Jersey? In the dead of winter? “We’ll all pray that it doesn’t snow that day,” Arizona Cardinals president Michael Bidwill said. NFL owners voted Tuesday to put the 2014 Super Bowl in the new $1.6 billion
Meadowlands Stadium that this season will become home to the New York Jets and Giants. It’s the first time the league has gone to a cold weather site that doesn’t have a dome; until now, those places couldn’t even bid on the big game. So, why the risk? “Let’s face it,” Giants co-owner John Mara said, “there’s only one New York City.” “We promise the greatest game in the greatest venue in the greatest city,” added another co-owner, Steve Tisch. “Now we’ve got to deliver.” Mother Nature may have a lot to say
about that. The coldest kickoff temperature in Super Bowl history was 39 degrees, and that would be considered a warm February day in East Rutherford, N.J. Average February temperatures there are 24 to 40 degrees, with several inches of rain, according to the bid documents. Remember, the game kicks off after the sun goes down in the Eastern time zone, so temperatures would be dropping throughout the night.

Showdown rescheduled From staff reports The East Rowan-Northwest Cabarrus fourth-round 3A baseball playoff game was rained out on Tuesday. A storm forced an initial delay and another downpour while the field was being prepared ended any hope of playing Tuesday. Staton Field was filling up well before the scheduled game-time for the much anticipated matchup between the Mustangs (26-2) and Trojans (21-9), a pair of No. 1 seeds. Northwest has won 10 in a row, while East has won eight straight. The teams have split two meetings this season. East has won five of the last six in the series, and the Trojans last prevailed at Staton Field in 2005. The game was rescheduled for tonight at 7 p.m. Right-hander Parker Gobbel (8-0) is the probable pitcher for East, while lefty Taylor West (5-2) is expected to pitch for Northwest. Tuscola’s Tyler Brosius, who quarterbacked the Tuscola football team against West Rowan in a bruising state semifinal, hit his 13th and 14th homers to power the Pioneers to a 9-1 win against Morganton Patton in the other 3A Western semifinal on Tuesday night. The contest was a rematch of the 2004 Little League state championship game that Morganton won during its run to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa. The East-Northwest winner will be the home team for the Western championship series, but the precise schedule for that bestof-three series is still being determined.
American Legion baseball Kannapolis edged Concord 5-4 in Southern Division of Area III Legion baseball on Tuesday. Tyler Freeze tied the game with a pinchhit double in the ninth. Garrett Welch’s suicide squeeze scored Ryan Goodman in the bottom of the 10th. John Tuttle pitched 91⁄3 innings for Kannapolis. Zach Jones got the last two outs in the top of the 10th at Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium to get the win. Kannapolis plays at Rowan tonight. Wes Dumford shut down Mocksville for eight innings and led Mooresville to an 8-1 league win on Tuesday. Tyler Lewis had a tworun single for Mooresville. Chris Dula had two hits. Tyler Jordan had two hits for Mocksville. Hernan Bautista knocked in Mocksville’s run. Wilkes-Statesville was rained out. Area IV Legion programs in Sylva and Union County have folded.
Junior Legion baseball Carson beat Mocksville 3-1 on Tuesday. Mitch Galloway pitched a four-hitter. He struck out eight and walked two. Galloway knocked in two runs. K.J. Pressley and Patrick Hampton both went 2-for-3. The Salisbury Cavornets dropped a 2-1 decision to the Mooresville Legends at Robertson Stadium on Tuesday. Mooresville took a 2-0 lead to the bottom of the seventh. Salisbury’s Scott Van derPoel and Philip Tonseth singled to open the seventh, Spencer Carmichael’s bunt advanced both runners, and Clint Veal’s groundout to short scored a run. Mooresville pitcher Jake Brennan coaxed a groundout from Jake Smith to end the game with the tying run at third. “That was one of the better summer ball games you will ever see,” Maddox said. “Both teams pitched it well and both teams played excellent defense.” VanderPoel had two hits for the Cavornets. Salisbury’s Dusty Agner took a tough loss. Salisbury is home tonight against West Iredell.
Intimidators in action The Kannapolis Intimidators lost 3-2 in 13 innings in the completion of a suspended game on Tuesday evening in Savannah. The game was suspended late Monday night tied 2-2. Kannapolis scratched out a 2-1 win in Tuesday’s regularly scheduled game to snap a four-game losing streak. Nick Ciolli and Trayce Thompson knocked in the runs.
West Middle baseball rolls West Rowan Middle defeated Knox 9-1 behind strong pitching by Michael Pinkston on Tuesday. Pinkston struck out seven batters in four innings and helped out at the plate by driving in three runs. Juan Garcia and Michael Ball had three hits apiece for the Bulldogs. West finishes its regular season at home Thursday against China Grove.

gle, but the next 14 hitters produced 14 outs against White. Erin Robertson led off the second inning with a single off the tip of center fielder Kayla Kirkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glove, and right fielder Jessica Rummage threw out Robertson at second. East shortstop Ericka Nesbitt made a leaping catch of a line drive to begin the fifth, and Rummage followed with a shoestring catch in shallow right. Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s streak ended when Lugibihl recorded the first of three straight singles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew they were solid defensively, and I knew the shortstop was just phenomenal,â&#x20AC;? Marvin Ridge coach Kevin Allran said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She took three or four hits away from us that normally, at any other time during the year, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hit.â&#x20AC;? Allran attended Eastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third-round victory against Central Cabarrus, which fell behind 10-0 before losing 10-3. He wanted to avoid playing from behind, but the Mustangs didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cooperate. Nesbitt singled off third baseman Claudia Spinelliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glove to start Eastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s half of the first, and Kirk drew a four-

‘Wear’ are they now? UCLA Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Twin brothers David and Travis Wear will attend UCLA this fall after leaving North Carolina. The sophomore forwards played for the Tar Heels last season and received their releases earlier this month. Both have signed written offers of financial aid from UCLA. UCLA coach Ben Howland said Tuesday that the Wears will redshirt next season and have three years of eligibility remaining starting in 2011-12. The 6-foot-10, 230-pounders played at Mater Dei High in Santa Ana, Calif.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The University of Michigan is punishing its own football program for violating NCAA rules. Michigan released details Tuesday of self-imposed sanctions it hopes will satisfy the NCAA, whose staff will hold a hearing on the case in August. The school says it will cut practice and training time by 130 hours over the next two years. It also banned some of its staff from attending practices, games or coaching meetings in 2010, and recommend two years of probation. Michigan disagreed with the NCAA’s charge that coach Rich Rodriguez failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance within the nation’s winningest college football program. The school also said it shouldn’t be subject to a repeat offender tag following a 2003 booster scandal in the basketball program.
It has happened three times in the NHL — most recently by the Flyers — and once in baseball, when the Boston Red Sox came back to beat the New York Yankees in the 2004 AL championship series. It’s just never been done in the NBA. “At some point,” Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said, “somebody is going to come from 3-0 down and win a series.” • PHOENIX — A cagy Phil Jackson says he has “no desire at all” to return to Chicago to coach the Bulls, though would “like to have a vodka” with the new owner of the New Jersey Nets. The Los Angeles Lakers coach addressed two reports by ESPN that the Bulls and Nets have worked through back channels to gauge his interest, saying Tuesday those channels haven’t reached him.
BASEBALL
PHILADELPHIA— A 21-year-old New Jersey man pleaded guilty Tuesday to vomiting on another spectator and his 11year-old daughter in the stands during a Philadelphia Phillies game. Matthew Clemmens, of Cherry Hill, N.J., pleaded guilty to one count each of simple assault, disorderly conduct and harassment for his conduct during an April 14 Phillies-Nationals game at Citizens Bank Park. Clemmens stuck his fingers down his throat and vomited on Michael Vangelo, an off-duty Easton police captain, and one of Vangelo’s daughters after Clemmens’ companion was ejected from the park, Assistant District Attorney Patrick Doyle said.

Roddick advances in French Associated Press
PARIS — Andy Roddick’s preparation for this French Open was hardly traditional. Or ideal, from a purely tennis perspective, anyway. He skipped a clay-court event in Rome so he could celebrate his one-year wedding anniversary with his wife, Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model Brooklyn Decker. He missed another tuneup tournament in Madrid because of a stomach virus. Scrambling to get set, Roddick played a couple of hastily arranged exhibitions and practiced a bunch at Roland Garros with fellow pro Mardy Fish, a pal since high school. If Roddick felt he needed more match time on his least favorite surface, he accumulated it in a hurry Tuesday, digging himself out of a hole and coming back to beat Jarkko Nieminen of Finland 6-2, 4-6, 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-3
in the French Open’s first round. “It’s kind of like when you miss an assignment in school, and they give you a chance to get extra credit. I’ve been trying real hard to get extra credit ... and I definitely wasn’t match-tough,” the sixth-seeded Roddick said. “There was a lot of ugliness out there today. But at the end of it, I get to play again.” So does a group of other Americans: Roddick and Fish are among five U.S. men into the second round, equaling the largest contingent at this Grand Slam tournament since six made it in 1998. Robby Ginepri knocked off 18th-seeded Sam Querrey 4-6, 7-6 (3), 64, 6-2 in an all-American match Tuesday, while John Isner and Taylor Dent won Monday. Two U.S. women won Tuesday, too, to join Serena and Venus Williams in the second round: Jill Craybas and Bethanie MattekSands.

Eastern Randolph took advantage of a third Knox error, along with two singles, in the top of the fifth to go up 4-0 and chase Brown from the game. Miller entered with two on, facing Eastern Randolph DH Ethan Clark. The first pitch Clark saw from Miller, he deposited over the right-field wall. Eastern suddenly led 7-0, stunning the home crowd. B u t Mauldin and Jones got the o f f e n s e rolling. Eight different Rowan players scored, as Jones and Laurens each crossed the JONES plate twice. Mauldin had three of Rowan’s nine hits. In what was definitely a sloppy fielding game, things didn’t look LAURENS too promising for Rowan early. But the home team showed that their bats can explode and they can score runs in bunches. Rowan will be receiving a makeover after East Rowan’s 26-2 team is done in the state playoffs. “My expectations are the same this year as they are every year,” Gantt said. “Win games because our fans demand it, make it to Asheville for the state playoffs and hopefully win that.” • NOTES: Rowan begins league play tonight at Newman Park at 7 p.m. when Kannapolis and ace pitcher John Tuttle come to town. ... In another game scheduled for tonight, the undefeated South Rowan Legion heads to Mooresville. ... Teams take a night off on Thursday before hitting the road Friday.

Marshall returns to Panthers
“Everyone knows it’s risky,” said Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, whose bid was eliminated in the second round. It might end up being another Ice Bowl, Fog Bowl, Freezer Bowl or something else worthy of a frigid nickname. That’s not what the bidders had in mind when they adopted the slogan, “Make Some History,” but for all the inconvenience to those in the stadium, it might look great on TV. The extended version of Bart Starr’s game-winning sneak in the Ice Bowl in 1967 opens with Cowboys defenders scraping their cleats into the ice to try getting some traction. Teeth chatter just watching the replay of Tom Brady’s fumble that was ruled an incompletion in the snowfilled Tuck Rule game. In Brett Favre’s final game with the Packers, he ends a chilly playoff game by throwing an interception, then runs off with steam coming out of his mouth. “People talk about the weather, but, you know, this is football, not beach volleyball,” New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg told the NFL Network. The NFL has required an average temperature of 50 degrees or a dome for a team to even bid on hosting the Super Bowl, but the league bent the rule to let New York bid. It’s billed as a one-time ex-

New York Giants’ Justin Tuck displays his Super Bowl ring during an interview in Times Square. ception, but just a few years ago, the NHL experimented with an outdoor game on New Year’s Day, and it came off so perfectly that teams now fight to host what’s become the annual Winter Classic. Maybe this will work out that well, too. “I think it will turn out to be a great event,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said. The weather worries could even add to the hype. In addition to predicting which teams will make it, fans can guess how nasty it might be. “We’ve played some (frigid, wet December) games there and I know first-hand that the fans had great experiences even though it was in inclement weather,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. Players are split . In the Pittsburgh Steelers’ locker room, quarterback Byron Leftwich said the weath-
er doesn’t matter “because it’s the Super Bowl ... and you’re not going to let 15 degrees change anything.” But linebacker James Farrior countered, “I play enough games in the cold.” Giants and Jets players are thrilled. “There’s something special about this city, man,” Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis said following a rally in Times Square. “We should’ve done this years ago,” said Giants defensive end Justin Tuck, who also was part of that celebration. It’s been at least 57 degrees for every Super Bowl since 1975, when it was 46. That’s why Florida and California have been such frequent hosts. “In the back of everybody’s mind, people want to be in South Florida that time of year,” Ross said.

1. You’re Open.
You still turn your lights on; why not invite people in? If you are open for business you must market your business.
2. Opportunity.
If the pool gets smaller, your visibility increases your odds of being the vendor of choice and seizing share from your competitors.
3. Reliability.
Media mix is a desirable goal except during tough times when you need to rely more heavily on the core medium: newspaper.

Is surgery appropriate for sports injury?
There is one hope, so go for it BY PHILLIP ALDER
United Feature Syndicate
German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, who was known for his pessimism, wrote, “Talent hits a target no one else can hit; genius hits a target no one else can see.” We are continuing our look at deals in which the defenders must be optimistic in trying to hit their target: the defeat of the contract. Against four spades, West leads the heart king. How should the defense go? West opened with a weak two-bid in hearts, promising a decent six-card suit and 6-10 high-card points. North had a textbook takeout double, showing short hearts and length (at least three cards) in the other three suits. At any other vulnerability, East would have followed the Law of Total Tricks and jumped to four hearts. (With 10 combined trumps, bid to the 10-trick level.) But with 4-3-3-3 distribution and unfavorable vulnerability, he raised only to three hearts. Note, though, that four hearts is laydown with only 16 combined high-card points. South had easily enough to compete to three spades. Remember that North would be assuming South had six or seven points, so South would not jump without noticeably more than that. And North hoped for 10 black-suit tricks when he raised to four spades. At trick one, East should ask himself where four tricks may come from. The logical answer is one heart and three diamonds. However, to maximize the chances of three diamond tricks, the suit must be led by

East through declarer, not by West around to South. So, East should overtake the heart king with his ace and shift to the diamond queen — which works beautifully.
Miss Universe pageant picks time, place in Vegas LAS VEGAS (AP) — Donald Trump and the Miss Universe pageant are making the Las Vegas Strip a summer hotspot for international beauty queens. The pageant announced Tuesday it will crown its 2010 winner on Aug. 23 at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino. More than 80 contestants from around the world are expected to participate. The announcement comes more than a week after 24year-old Rima Fakih (REE’mah fah-KEY’) of Michigan was crowned Miss USA in Las Vegas. She’ll represent the United States. The Miss Universe pageant includes swimsuit, evening gown and interview competitions.
Dear Dr. Gott: I am an active 50-year-old man with chronic shoulder pain. My doctor, a sports-medicine surgeon, wants to remove the bursa sac and maintains that the sac is not necesDR. PETER sary. Because I would like to GOTT remain active — especially in the gym — I am skeptical. Dear Reader: A bursa is defined as a small, fluid-filled sac whose purpose is to reduce friction between bodily tissues. There are 160 bursae throughout the body, all of which are located in areas of large joints, such as the knees, elbows, hips and shoulders. The main symptom of bursitis of the shoulder is severe pain, primarily
on movement. Causes include arthritis, infection, injury to the site or, most likely in your case, overuse. Symptoms are commonly treated by resting the affected joint, and with cold packs, anti-inflammatory over-thecounter medications, heat once any swelling disappears and antibiotic therapy for infection. Some cases don’t respond to simple treatment and require aspiration of the bursa fluid. This procedure is commonly performed in a physician’s office and may be followed by a cortisone injection into the affected area. When inflammation in the subacromial bursa adds to pain experienced, the lubricating sack is often removed by a surgeon in a procedure known as bursectomy or debridement. Generally speaking, recovery is rapid, because range-of-motion exercises are begun soon after surgery in an attempt to ac-
celerate rehabilitation. Now comes the difficult part. You need to sit down with your specialist and explain that you want to remain physically active. Determine how long you might anticipate the recovery period to last and whether there will likely be any unwanted side effects. Your surgeon knows your case and should be able to predict the outcome based on your general health. Ask whether he plans to do arthroscopy, which will be less invasive and require less recuperation rather than make a larger incision, which will take longer to heal.
Dear Dr. Gott: I have been on your No Flour, No Sugar diet since last July, and so far have lost 40 pounds. I recently found a millet and flax bread. It is made with millet flour and brown-rice flour. Is it acceptable on your diet? If Dr. Peter H. Gott is a renot, that’s OK because I don’t tired physician and the aucrave bread anymore. thor of several books.
NBC News networks devote day to immigration issues NEW YORK (AP) — NBC and its related networks, including MSNBC and the Spanish-language Telemundo, are devoting much of their time on newscasts today to discussions of immigration. NBC News is wading into an issue rife with hostility. Its own role in doing the stories will be watched as closely in some circles as the stories themselves, which will include release of a poll on American attitudes toward immigration.
NBC had been considering the concentrated look at immigration even before the latest flashpoint, the Arizona law requiring authorities to question people about their immigration status if they are suspected of being in the country illegally, said Alex Wallace, senior vice president of NBC News. “The whole goal, honestly, is to show as much as possible the two strongly felt sides of this,” she said. “Nightly News” will look at the impact of the law, and
Dear Reader: If a product contains flour, then it isn’t acceptable. I recommend sprouted grain or organic sprouted whole grain and seed breads that don’t contain flour. Millet flour is a glutenfree product made from grain. It resembles wheat but is superior in terms of content. A single serving has 15 percent of the RDA of iron, and is high in potassium, magnesium and B vitamins. Brown-rice flour is glutenfree 100 percent ground-rice grain. The “flour” is ground from un-hulled rice kernels and is used as a flour substitute in many recipes. Because of the natural fats and oils in the grain, it has a tendency to turn rancid rather rapidly, so small amounts are commonly purchased to avoid spoilage.
at other states considering similar measures. The “Today” show will do stories on how immigration affects families, and “Dateline NBC” will show previews of an upcoming series on migrant children in the United States. MSNBC will devote some portion of every show to immigration. Telemundo’s morning program “Levantate” will broadcast from Arizona, the first time in its history the show has gone on location.
