“I’m a hugger,” Dole explained earlier. “I think most North Carolinians are.” Soon the kids were giving the women group hugs and telling them thank you for the special day. “She made the park,” one student told her friend after they met Spencer. “That’s close enough for first grade,” Principal Shanda McFarland said, overhearing. Over the next five hours, Dole tried to meet every class as the students enjoyed what the expansive county park has to offer.

RALEIGH — A debate Thursday on a House bill to repeal a method that state government has used over the past decade to borrow money for construction projects turned into a referendum on North Carolina’s debt policies under Democratic rule. The House Finance Committee voted 17-11 to repeal a 2003 law that opened wide the door for the state to issue more debt without the approval of voters in statewide elections. The measure could be voted on by the full

House next week. The General Assembly has authorized more than $3 billion in so-called “special indebtedness” from 2001 through next year that didn’t require approval by the public, although not all of the debt has been issued. Most of the $850 million in debt authorized by the Legislature in 2008 was special indebtedness and went to build prisons, university buildings and even the polar bear exhibit at the North Carolina Zoo. The state constitution requires traditional bonds, not special indebtedness, be approved by voters, with rare exceptions. Tradi-
tional bonds were last approved statewide by voters in 2000 in a $3.1 billion package for university and community college construction. Republicans who now control the Legislature and offered the repeal say citizens should get a say on incurring debt that could take 20 or 30 years to repay. “This is a good step that can restore confidence to the people in government,” said Rep. Edgar Starnes, R-Caldwell and a finance committee co-chairman. He added that the special indebtedness became a way for politicians to “authorize debt to get around

The state of North Carolina is one of a handful of states with the highest bond rating and its overall debt remains within guidelines set by a state debt affordability panel. Rep. Joe Hackney, the Orange County Democrat who was House speaker before the GOP takeover,
SALISBURY — Just in time for aquatic fun on Memorial Day weekend, Alcoa launched its water safety campaign Thursday in partnership with law enforcement agencies. Mark Gross, technical manager at Alcoa, encouraged local residents Thursday to play it safe at High Rock Lake. “This weekend, our beautiful lake will be filled with people enjoying the summer weather,” Gross said. “People will be boating, hiking, camping and having a good time. But it only takes a moment for those good times to turn into tragedy, and that’s why we’re here today.” He said Alcoa promotes its message, “Play It Safe GROSS on the Lakes,” with billboards, newspaper and radio ads, grocery bags and whistles. The company also gave more than 200 free life jackets to local children at three water safety events last weekend. Gross said the near drowning Sunday of a 22-year-old man at Pebble Beach, a public swim area at High Rock, serves as an important reminder about safety. “Hopefully, that close call will be the only incident we have to respond to this summer,” Gross said. By this time last year, four people had drowned on the lake. Steven Barr, a volunteer firefighter from Asheboro, was having a picnic with his family at Pebble Beach and heard cries

Should voters be asked before governments borrow money? BY GARY D. ROBERTSON
FAITH — A single mother and her 6year-old son have been forced to seek shelter with family members after their home burned Thursday. A neighbor called Megan Miller shortly before 1 p.m. to tell her that heavy smoke was coming from beneath her mobile home at 125 Castle Drive. The neighbor had already called 911. “I went blank,” said Miller, who has rented the mobile home from her father for over a year. “I asked them if they were joking with me. Everything was fine when we left.” The fire destroyed the home where Miller lived with her son Cameron. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Rowan County Fire Investigator Aaron Youngblood said it most likely started under the house. The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office is also investigating and sent samples of debris from underneath the home and from the porch to a lab to rule out any use of accelerants. A friend of Miller’s had a car packed with belongings and was ready to move in

PARK FROM 1a Throughout the day, the Hanford Dole kids kept running up to Dole to say thank you. She couldn’t pass a group without seeing a few of the children holding out their arms, so she could walk into their embraces. Odet, a first-grader, wanted to give Dole the shiny piece of gold she had uncovered at the park’s gem mine. Other students also fished into their bags and held out their most prized rocks for her to have. Melissa Pierce handed Dole a notebook full of thank-you notes her secondgrade class already had written. Dawn Gilland’s second-graders posed around the senator for a group picture. “A very, very nice day,” Gilland said. “We appreciate the opportunity of being here.” A little boy walked up to Dole and handed her a bottle of water, refreshment against the 90-degree day. “I told you it wasn’t going to rain on our parade,” Spencer told Dole at lunch.

It was paid for with debt that didn’t require voter approval. It’s been one of the few construction projects downtown during the recession.

Highway Patrol chief preparing for ‘imminent elimination of positions’ RALEIGH (AP) — The North Carolina Highway Patrol will halt trooper promotions, transfers and future basic training schools until the agency learns the extent of spending cuts due to next year’s budget. Commander Col. Michael Gilchrist wrote a memo this week to patrol leaders saying the suspensions of activity are
necessary to minimize the number of people who could be affected by the “imminent elimination of positions.” The memo dated Wednesday came a day after the Senate’s budget was unveiled, requiring several million dollars in cuts from the patrol. The House budget directed the elimination of at least 75 sworn officers and civilians.

Sarah Stepp’s kindergarten class, directed by teaching assistant Gloria Alexander, gave a special singing performance of Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror.” Dole and Spencer gave the children a standing ovation. The women rode the park’s train. In the depot gift shop, Dole sifted through the stuffed animals, looking for play toys for her dogs back in Washington, Leader and Blazer. Dole rode the carousel with Jacob Pitts, a special needs fifth-grader. At the gem mine, she watched first-grader Kendall McKenna and thirdgrader Patricia Miles sifting through the sluice for precious rocks. She laughed at all the nose and hand smudges on the plexiglass looking into the black bear habitat. Outside the miniature golf course, the secondgraders from Michelle Byers’ class gathered around her bench and asked her for autographs. Dole grabbed a pen and wrote her name 19 times on a piece of paper so each student would have her signature. It was a bit emotional when Dole stood at the edge of the parking lot and waved goodbye to the line of buses going back to the school at the end of the day. Sometimes, little hands waving above the open windows was all she could see because of the tinted windows. “I enjoyed coming here,” third-grader Zahria Bickley said before leaving the park, “and I think she (Dole) made a good school.” “And a good park,” classmate Ava Stapf added. “Miss Betty made the park,” Bickley corrected.

If you rode past the station in recent weeks then you probably saw the construction taking place. The construction to the building began earlier this month and is expected to be complete by next summer.

Highway Patrol steps up patrols for holiday weekend The N.C. Highway Patrol is reminding motorists to be careful as they enjoy the Memorial Day weekend. The holiday officially kicks off the summer vacation season in North Carolina. This means more people will be on our highways, increasing the chance of traffic crashes. Troopers will increase patrols on all interstates and major four lane highways during the holiday weekend. Speed is the leading cause of traffic collisions and fatalities in the state. “Memorial Day is the beginning of a busy travel season across the state,” said Colonel Michael Gilchrist, State Highway Patrol commander. “We are asking all motorists to buckle up and be extremely careful when traveling to their various destina-
tions. I have instructed our troopers to aggressively crack down on motorists who are speeding, driving recklessly and more importantly, drinking and driving,” said Gilchrist. The Highway Patrol will also join other law enforcement agencies at “Click-It or Ticket” seatbelt checkpoints across the state throughout the week, and troopers will be participating in the nationwide “Operation C.A.R.E.” (Combined Accident Reduction Effort). “Operation C.A.R.E.” is a coordinated education and enforcement effort involving all Highway Patrol and state police agencies across the nation. These high visibility patrols during national holiday periods are designed to prevent crashes and ensure voluntary compliance with the
motor vehicle laws. The Memorial Day holiday, which is set aside to honor deceased men and women from the Armed Forces, is expected to be a busy one on North Carolina highways. The holiday weekend officially begins at 6 p.m. on Friday, May 27, and ends at midnight, Monday, May 30. Last year, 11 motorists died and 358 were injured in traffic collisions investigated by the Highway Patrol over the Memorial Day holiday. Citizens may report crashes, impaired drivers, stranded motorists or other highway situations to the Highway Patrol by dialing *HP (*47) on their cellular telephones. This is a toll free call that connects the caller to the nearest Highway Patrol communications center.
PROGRAM
out of retirement to serve in Iraq after Sept. 11, 2001. For more information about the Kannapolis service, contact Jimmy Wilson with Beaver-Pittman Post No. 115 at 704-933-8249. Memorial Day is a federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May. Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. soldiers who died while in the military service. First enacted to honor Union and Confederate soldiers following the Civil War, it was extended after World War I to honor Americans who have died in all wars. The preferred name for the holiday gradually changed from “Decoration Day” to “Memorial Day,” which was first used in 1882. It did not become common until after World War II, and was not declared the official name by federal law until 1967. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries and memorials. A national moment of remembrance takes place at 3 p.m. lo-
cal time. Another tradition is to fly the flag of the United States at half-staff from dawn until noon local time. For more information call John T. Spruyt, director of the National Cemetery, at 704-6362661.
FROM 3a to begin at 10 a.m. The ceremony will be held at the main flagpole committal shelter. The program has been organized to remember and honor all military members have served or are currently serving the nation. Sgt. First Class Charles Hannel will be the keynote speaker in the ceremony. In Kannapolis, the BeaverPittman Post No. 115 will host the annual Memorial Day ceremony beginning at 11 a.m. in Village Park with patriotic music from local artists. At 11:45 a.m., veterans of all wars will parade from the activity building at the park to the amphitheater for the ceremony. The ceremony will begin at noon and there will be a special POW/MIA remembrance service during the event. The guest speaker will be Col. Hector Henry, one of three doctors over the age of 70 who came

Two charged with breaking and entering in China Grove CHINA GROVE — An alert neighbor led authorities to charge two China Grove men with felony breaking and entering and larceny charges, the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office reported Thursday. According to the report, a neighbor of Erasmo Angeles, who owns a home at Lentz Road, called authorities to report that two suspicious men had stopped near Angeles’ home, got out of their car, and walked into the woods behind the home. When officers arrived at the house, they found a window broken and two doors open. They then heard a banging noise coming from the woods behind the home. An officer called out, telling whoever was in the woods to come forward. Jason Marin Comer and Dustin Allen Furr walked out of the woods and told officers they were riding the pipeline on a four wheeler and found scrap metal, the report said. Angeles’ daughter, Miriam, arrived and told the officers someone had been breaking into the home and stealing property for several months. Angeles said her family didn’t live there but was storing property there and planned to move in at a later date.

Volunteers perform cosmetic restoration on locomotive Sorority debutante ball at Catawba on Saturday
B Y M ARK B ROWN N.C. Transportation Museum
SPENCER — The new cosmetic restoration of a classic steam locomotive was unveiled at the N.C. Transportation Museum in a ceremony May 21. The Southern Railway No. 542 has more than a century’s worth of history as a working locomotive, a display piece at one of the Triad’s largest parks and an appearance three years ago in the George Clooney-starring movie “Leatherheads.” The May 21 rededication of the Southern Railway No. 542 took place at the Bob Julian Roundhouse officiated by Chief of Museum Services and Education Larry Neal and museum volunteer John Barnett, who helped organize the restoration. As the engine rolled out of the roundhouse and onto the turntable, all the volunteers who contributed long hours and hard work to the restoration were recognized. The No. 542 was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in August 1903. Classified as a 2-8-0 Consolidation, the locomotive operated in North Carolina on the Southern Railway around Statesville and Winston-Salem. Similar class 2-8-0 locomotives were extensively used by the Southern to pull freight trains throughout the entire system. The Southern owned only 90 of this rare type J-class locomotive. The No. 542 was part of a series numbered 505548. During its time in operation, repairs and regular maintenance to the No. 542 were performed at Pomona Shops in Greensboro and Spencer Shops, now the site of the engine’s home, the N.C. Transportation Museum. The engine’s working career lasted until 1954. But while the engine would never run again, the No. 542 has had a very active retirement. Upon its removal from service, Southern Railway donated the engine to Tanglewood Park near Clemmons. It would remain on display for visitors, a fixture at the park for 37 years. The locomotive also served as an early part of the park’s now well-known Christmas light
SALISBURY — Alpha Alpha Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. will sponsor its 61st Annual Debutante Ball starting at 8:15 p.m. Saturday at Catawba College Community Center. This year’s ball will feature 11 young ladies from surrounding high schools. From Salisbury High School, Ayuanna Alexander, Chantel Barkley, Demrest Barkley, Janaye Hargrave, Briana Jackson, and NyQuamia Wells; from West Rowan High School, Brittney Barber, Amber Holloway, and Christa Landy; from North Rowan High School, Cristian Blanding; and from Salem High School in Virginia Beach, Va., Haley A. Duncan. All Debutantes were required to attend 15 sessions which included: “Getting to Know Yourself,” book club
The No. 542 was built in 1903. It remained in service until 1954. displays. In 1991, N.C. Transportation Museum officials came to an agreement with the park, trading an exIllinois Central locomotive for the No. 542. A grant from the WinstonSalem Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society funded the locomotive’s move. As the final remaining J-class locomotive used by the Southern Railway, the piece was an important part of Spencer Shops’ history and the N.C. Transportation Museum. The locomotive was displayed in the Roundhouse for many years to follow. In 2008, Hollywood came to the N.C. Transportation Museum. The site and several pieces of rail equipment were chosen for use in “Leatherheads,” which Clooney starred in and directed. While the engine was cosmetically restored for the movie, something was missing. The No. 542’s tender, pulled behind all steam locomotives to carry water, fuel and coal, was in rough condition. Museum volunteers, however, had just put the finishing touches on their restoration of the tender for the No. 604 steam locomotive. The decision was made to use the No. 604’s tender and change the No. 542’s designation — the numbers painted on the side — to No. 604. Following the appearance in “Leatherheads,” the No. 542, still bearing the numbers 6-0-4, was featured at the museum, primarily on the display track near the Master Mechanic’s Office. This recent cosmetic restoration, however, puts each piece back into its rightful place. With museum volunteers Barnett and Robin Eanes overseeing the project, the locomotive’s original tender has been restored and reattached and the designation has been returned to 5-4-2.
reading with local author Tara White, visit to the local History Museum, “Healthy You Session,” table etiquette, photo shoot and several sessions on choreography to learn the “Colonial Minute,” a longtime tradition of the sorority. The Debutante Ball continues to represent a rich tradition committed to the ideas of scholarship and service. The ball is just one of the many activities sponsored by the Zetas of Salisbury to help worthy young ladies meet some of the financial obligations in institutions of higher education. Clara Corry serves as basileus/president of the sorority. Joann P. Diggs, Dianne Moore and Tina Holman served as chairwomen of the debutante activities. Cylista Brady serves as the chairwoman of choreography.
Forsyth County judge faces September hearing for fixing traffic tickets WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — A September hearing date has been set for a Forsyth County judge accused of fixing traffic tickets for her friends and members of her church.

John Barnett breaks a bottle on the front of No. 542 to celebrate the restoration. The locomotive has had the proper air compressor installed. All the piping and handrails have been placed back on the locomotive and new jacketing has been fabricated and installed on the backhead. A grant from the Greensboro Chapter of the NRHS helped to fund the cosmetic restoration over the last several months. All in all, the engine now looks like it appeared serving the Atlantic and Yadkin Railroad in 1947, if not better. It will be displayed in the Bob Julian Roundhouse and remain a treasured part of the museum’s rail collection for many years to come.

Hartsfield said she had a general practice of waiving fines, striking court costs or not imposing punishment in non-alcohol-related traffic offenses to help defendants who were not able to pay the fees. She denies she did anything improper or lied to the SBI.

Renovations continue at the China Grove Fire Department.
FROM 3A ficers, according to current Chief Eddie Kluttz. Kluttz has moved back into the original office of Richard Overcash, who was chief of police and the man who hired Kluttz in 1979 as a patrol officer. The new police station underwent a few renovations/ improvements and was painted, but much of the structure was left as it was when it held town hall, Kluttz said. One of the first noticeable differences is a keyless entrance for officers at the back of the station. Another change was to what was once council chambers. It now holds a patrol room for officers. Each officer has a desk with laptop computer for network operations. Also, two offices are for department sergeants. The board used to sit on a raised platform that Kluttz said was more economical to build upon than tear down. Crews remodeled the old vault that will be used for evidence and a property control area, he said. Also included in the plans were a video-monitoring sys-
Federal investigators at site of western NC crash UNAKA (AP) — Federal investigators have arrived in the remote mountains of North Carolina to determine what caused a twin-engine plane to crash. Cherokee County Sheriff Keith Lovin said Thursday that there were no survivors from the Wednesday afternoon crash, but authorities were still trying to figure out how many people were on the plane. Lovin says the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board have investigators at the site of the crash. FAA officials say the plane was flying from suburban Atlanta to Hazard, Ky., when it crashed some 125 miles west of Asheville. The plane was a Beech Baron 58, which typically has four to six seats. It was registered to Aero Resources Corp. of Hazard, which said it had no information on the crash.
the Street and Maintenance Department, Fire Department, Town Hall and the law enforcement facility. A new alarm system and an employee breakroom were included in the plans.
Construction plans Before any of the renovations could begin, the town had to obtain interim financing. The short-term loan came from RBC Bank in Hickory and was approved in February by the board. A USDA loan approved in March 2010 takes effect after construction. Also in February, the staff at town hall moved from its location at 205 Swink St. to its temporary location at the former Rowan Medical Mall, 308 E. Centerview St. It was also in February that the board chose Momentum Construction in Charlotte as the low bidder. Contact reporter Shavonne Potts at 704-797-4253.

The wireless technology will eliminate the need for officers returning to the office to manually enter reports. This should increase their interaction with the public, Kluttz added.

Lindsay Lohan begins serving sentence on house arrest LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lindsay Lohan returned to a women’s jail before dawn on Thursday and was released before rush hour to begin serving a four-month jail sentence at her home for a probation violation. The actress left the lockup with an ankle monitor that she must wear for about 35 days, a sheriff’s spokesman said. Whitmore said the “Mean Girls” star is paying for the costs of her monitoring. Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner sentenced Lohan to 120 days in jail and 480 hours of community service in April.
Lawmakers send extension of bill to fight terrorism to president for signature WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress on Thursday passed a four-year extension of postSept. 11 powers to search records and conduct roving wiretaps in pursuit of terrorists. Votes taken in rapid succession in the Senate and House came after lawmakers rejected attempts to temper the law enforcement powers to ensure that individual liberties are not abused. Following the 250-153 evening vote in the House, the legislation to renew three terrorism-fighting authorities headed for the president’s signature with only hours to go before the provisions expire at midnight. With Obama currently in Europe, the White House said the president would use an autopen machine that holds a pen and signs his actual signature. It is only used with proper authorization of the president. Obama will be awakened by 5:45 a.m. in France so he
can review and approve the bill and authorize his signature, the White House said. A short-term expiration would not interrupt ongoing operations but would bar the government from seeking warrants for new investigations. Congress bumped up against the deadline mainly because of the stubborn resistance from a single senator, Republican freshman Rand Paul of Kentucky, who saw the terrorist-hunting powers as an abuse of privacy rights. Paul held up the final vote for several days before the bill passed the Senate 72-23. The measure would add four years to the legal life of roving wiretaps — those authorized for a person rather than a communications line or device — of court-ordered searches of business records and of surveillance of nonAmerican “lone wolf” suspects.

Lawmakers seek quicker end to Afghanistan war WASHINGTON (AP) — War-weary Republicans and Democrats on Thursday sent the strongest message yet to President Barack Obama to end the war in Afghanistan as the commander in chief decides how many U.S. troops to withdraw this summer. A measure requiring an accelerated timetable for pulling out the 100,000 troops from Afghanistan and an exit strategy for the nearly 10-year-old conflict secured 204 votes in the House, falling just short of passage but boosting the hopes of its surprised proponents. “It sends a strong signal to the president that the U.S. House of Representatives and the American people want change,” Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., said after the vote. Obama will begin drawing down some of the troops in July, with all combat forces due out by 2014. McGovern and others fear that the initial reduction will be a token cut of some 5,000, numbers they argue fail to reflect that Osama bin Laden is gone and the United States can’t afford spending $10 billion a month on the war. An Associated Press-GfK poll earlier this month found
59 percent oppose the war and 37 percent favor it, with significant support for Obama’s plan to start removing troops this summer. “Five thousand on July 1 and nothing else, that won’t fly,” said Rep. John Garamendi, D-Calif. “That will create a great deal of anger.” Twenty-six Republicans joined 178 Democrats in backing the Afghanistan measure. Eight Democrats and 207 Republicans opposed it. In the Democratic-controlled House last July, a similar measure got 162 votes. The tally on Thursday reflected the increasing exasperation in Congress with the costly war, even among the typically more hawkish Republicans.

But among the measure’s foes, Rep. Mike Coffman, RColo., said the accelerated timetable “would pull the rug out of the entire strategy,” and Rep. Mac Thornberry, RTexas, said “the sacrifice of blood and treasure will be thrown away for considerable impatience.” The divisive issue was part of three days of debate on a broad, $690 billion defense bill that would provide a 1.6 percent increase in military pay, fund an array of aircraft, ships and submarines and increase health care fees slightly for working-age military retirees. The bill meets the Pentagon’s request for $119 billion to fight wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Some of those on missing list turn up as Joplin tornado survivors
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Sarah Palin will embark this weekend on a campaign-style bus tour along the East Coast, sending a jolt through the now-sleepy Republican presidential contest and thrusting a telegenic but divisive politician back into the spotlight. Palin’s tour announcement is the strongest signal yet that she is considering a presidential bid, despite her failure to take traditional steps such as organizing a campaign team in early primary states. The former Alaska governor’s approval ratings have fallen across PALIN the board — including among Republicans — in recent months. But many conservatives adore her, and she has enough name recognition and charisma to shake up a GOP contest. Beginning Sunday, Palin plans to meet with veterans and visit historic sites that her political action committee calls key to the country’s formation, survival and growth. The tour follows reports that Palin has bought a house in Arizona and the disclosure that she’s authorized a featurelength film about her career, which could serve as a campaign centerpiece.

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Sixteen years after the bull-necked military commander went on the run, a pale and shrunken Ratko Mladic was hauled into a courtroom Thursday to face charges of genocide in ordering torture, rape and the slaughter of 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the Bosnian town of Srebrenica in 1995. A Serbian government that has changed mightily since Mladic’s alleged atrocities trumpeted his early morning arrest as a victory for a country worthy of EU membership and Western embrace. It banned all public gatherings and raised security levels to prevent ultra-nationalists from making good on pledges to protest. Mladic faces charges of genocide and war crimes at the U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, where judge Fouad Riad said there was evidence of “unimaginable savagery.”

tore through the city, one was sitting on a wooden chair outside the wreckage of her home, cuddling her cat. Sally Adams, 75, said neighbors rescued her Sunday after the storm destroyed her house and took her to a friend’s home. When the Associated Press told her she was on the missing list, Adams laughed and said “Get me off of there!” Missouri officials had said they believed many of the missing were alive and safe but simply hadn’t been in touch with friends and family, in part because cell phone service has been spotty. The AP found that was the case with at least a dozen of the 232 still unaccounted for Thursday. They included two survivors staying at a hotel, six that a relative said were staying with friends and one that a former employee said had been moved from his nursing home.

ROUNDUP, Mont. (AP) — Another Montana town Thursday was swamped with floodwaters that have washed out roads and rushed though houses across the state — and hundreds more homes downstream in the Dakotas could be hit as heavy rains and melting mountain snow force record releases from bloated dams on the Missouri River. Ongoing flooding in beleaguered Montana could end up being the worst in decades, officials warned. The conditions are ripe: unusually heavy snowpack in the mountains, persistent spring rains and waterlogged ground incapable of soaking up any more moisture. The U.S. Geological Survey said Thursday it was measuring record flows in many rivers and streams, topped by the larger Yellowstone and Musselshell rivers. “These are major floods, and we know that people’s lives could potentially be at risk,” said John Kilpatrick, the agency’s Montana water science center director. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers predicted hundreds of homes in downstream states could flood as the water flows eastward toward North Dakota. The problem could persist into July in the Dakotas, Iowa, Nebraska and elsewhere. In Montana, more roads and highways were being closed Thursday and three more counties declared flood emergencies as dozens of rivers and streams overflowed their banks. Roundup was the latest victim of the ongoing flooding, as up to 6 feet of water coursed through the mining and agricultural town of about 1,800. “There’s never been water like this since we’ve been here,” said 88-year-old Dan McCaffree, a retired mechanic and rancher.

for help. A man had become exhausted from swimming and was struggling to come to shore. Barr called 911, swam 30 to 40 feet out to the man and pulled him to safety. Barr says he happened to be in the right place at the right time. “Accidents happen,” Barr said. “Anything can happen at any time. You just need to make sure you do everything you can to avoid them.” While speaking to people gathered for the launch at High Rock’s Dutch Second Creek boat access area, Rowan County Sheriff Kevin Auten thanked Alcoa for working with law enforcement agencies to educate the public about water safety. “It’s much easier to be safe than it is to deal with consequences that could be tragic,” Auten said. Stanly County Sheriff Rick Burris also thanked the company for its support of local law enforcement. Children under the age of 13 must wear a life jacket at all times on a moving vessel in state waters. When Davidson County Sheriff David Grice spoke, he stressed the importance of wearing a life jacket at any age, recalling the drowning of a father and son that he responded to last year. In 2009, drowning was reported as the cause of death in about two out of three boating fatalities. More than 80 percent of those who drowned were not wearing life jackets. Chris Harris with the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission said the agency conducts free inspections to make sure every vessel is equipped with life jackets, proper flotation devices and proper fire extinguishers. The Wildlife Resources Commission also is stepping up its enforcement regarding operating while intoxicated, he said. It is illegal to drive a boat, drive a water ski or ride

Vermont closer to becoming first state with full public health care MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Vermont still has “a few challenges” ahead to meet its goal of a universal health care system this decade, Gov. Peter Shumlin said Thursday as he signed into law the bill designed to make the state the nation’s first with fully publicly funded health care. More than 150 people, including legislators, administration officials, advocates who pushed for the bill and a handful of opponents gathered on the Statehouse steps as storm clouds threatened but gave way to humid sunshine. “We gather here today to launch the first single-payer health care system in America, to do in Vermont what has taken too long — have a health care system that is the best in the world, that treats health care as a right and not a privilege, where health care follows the individual, is-
n’t required by an employer — that’s a huge jobs creator,” Shumlin said. Among Vermont’s challenges: getting waivers from the federal government at a time when the U.S. House has come out strongly against the less ambitious federal health care bill passed last year. The Vermont law also leaves for future debate whom the state would pay SHUMLIN for its publicly financed health care system, what benefits would be covered and a host of other details to be figured out by a new state board in consultation with the Legislature and administration officials. “This bill has a long, long, long
way to go,” said Craig Fuller, managing director of the Employers’ Health Alliance, a Vermont-based group that tracks health reform for businesses. But that didn’t stop supporters from celebrating Thursday. “We’re going to hear all kinds of scare stories that this is a thoughtless experiment or that it is too bold,” said Dr. Deb Richter, a longtime advocate of a single-payer health care system. “But I would remind you that every other industrialized country is doing what we are trying to do. And they do it for far less money, they live longer and they get betterquality care.” Under a the law, a five-member board will be appointed by October to set up Green Mountain Care, as the state system is to be called. Among the board’s tasks will be to

cloe Waters takes emir Halik, her 22-year-old stallion, to his pen Wednesday in casper, Wyo. Waters organizes horse shows threatened by an equine herpes outbreak. impacts on wild horse populations could be disastrous.” Traced back to a cutting horse competition earlier this month in Ogden, Utah, the virus has been exposed to more than 1,000 animals through direct or indirect contact with infected horses. Symptoms include fever, decreased coordination, nasal discharge, loss of tail tone, hind limb weakness and inability to rise. So far, no animals managed by the BLM are known to have been infected, BLM spokesman Tom Gorey said Thursday. He said the agency is considering limiting horse movement on a case-by-case basis and may cancel some scheduled adoption events. The federal agency “has been working with state and federal animal health officials to help protect the health and
well-being of wild horses and burros on the range, along with those in BLM holding facilities,” Gorey said. Horse owners should contact local BLM offices to see if there are any restrictions before bringing domestic horses onto federally managed public lands. The American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign was among the groups that have joined the call for “an abundance of caution ... because of the potential catastrophic consequences that could occur if the virus spreads to the wild horse herds.” “Given the serious nature of the virus and the already diminished population of mustangs in the west, the BLM needs to act quickly to ensure that the virus does not spread,” campaign spokeswoman Deniz Bolbol said.

The woman spoke to KCNC-TV in Denver on Wednesday about the ordeal. “I was terrified — terrified,” she said. During a routine conversation earlier in the flight, an air traffic controller in Longmont, Colo. — Charlie Rohrer — noticed that the single-engine plane’s 70-year-old pilot appeared to have difficulty breathing, KCNC reported. Both the pilot and his wife
were wearing oxygen masks because of the Rocky Mountain altitudes. The plane began to make erratic maneuvers before the Great Lakes pilot — who was on the same frequency — offered assistance. With the Great Lakes pilot’s help, the woman flipped on the autopilot function. But at one point, the plane swerved away from its emergency landing route. As the plane dropped in elevation, the woman said her husband was becoming more lucid. He later was able to land the plane safely in Farmington, N.M.

DENVER (AP) — A woman whose pilot-husband was having trouble breathing and speaking took over the controls of a small airplane during a flight from California to Colorado and flew toward a nearby airport while receiving guidance from ground controllers and another pilot, authorities said. The Federal Aviation Administration released audio and a transcript of the May 17 incident on Thursday. “Have you ever flown an aircraft before?” asked the other pilot, who was flying a Great Lakes Airlines flight in the area and was in radio contact with the woman. “Do you have any experience?” “No,” the woman replies. The Great Lakes pilot then instructed the woman on how to turn on the autopilot function and begin a controlled descent. “Hang on, I’m trying to get him to put auto ... autopilot,” the woman said. “I don’t know how to do this.” The FAA declined to release the names of the pilot

reactions from industry and advocacy groups. The liberal blog Firedoglake.com and Physicians for a National Health Plan posted a petition online inviting people to ask the Obama administration to ensure Vermont gets the waivers it needs to implement its single-payer system. Backers say the waivers are crucial to Vermont’s efforts to get the maximum number of residents into the system. David Oliker, president and CEO of MVP Health Care, one of the major insurers operating in the state, issued a statement saying opponents of the Vermont law continue to have questions and concerns, among them: how it will be paid for, how it will affect Vermont residents who work for out-of-state companies, and how it might affect doctors’ willingness to work in the state.

RENO, Nev. (AP) — Concerned about the threat of a catastrophic outbreak of a herpes virus among wild horse herds in the West, national animal advocates on Thursday called on the federal government to keep potentially infected domestic horses away from mustangs and burros on public lands. The Humane Society of the United States urged the Bureau of Land Management to “discourage and, if possible and appropriate, prohibit” owners of private horses from bringing animals at risk of Equine Herpes Virus-1 onto federal lands where they could have contact with wild horses. “The potential for a catastrophic outbreak of EHV-1 among wild horse herds needs to be addressed by the BLM on an emergency basis,” Holly Hazard, the society’s chief innovations officer, wrote in a letter to BLM Director Bob Abbey. The federal agency should launch a public education campaign immediately about the highly contagious disease, which has infected dozens of horses and killed at least nine, as officials plan horse-related activities for the upcoming holiday weekend, she said. EHV-1 poses no risk to humans, but can be fatal to horses. It can be airborne and transmitted by touch or by sharing feed, brushes, bits and other equipment. The virus “is a highly transmittable disease, and the symptoms don’t show up immediately,” Hazard told the Associated Press. “You can have a horse that may have been exposed and you are not even aware they are carrying the virus. The most vigilant thing for everybody to do is enjoy their horses on their own property until the health officials have it sorted all out,” she said. Hazard said, “Since EHV-1 infections can be fatal … the
set up a payment system under which hospitals and other providers will be paid a set amount of money to provide health care to a set population, as opposed to the current system known as fee for service, which, for instance, pays doctors on a pervisit basis. “There is ample evidence that we can reduce cost growth without compromising health care quality, but it will take a new approach — we can’t simply cut provider fees,” a statement issued by Shumlin’s office said. The law also calls on the state to set up a health care exchange — or simplified insurance marketplace — to comply with provisions of last year’s federal law and to serve as a stepping stone to the law’s longerterm goal of achieving a state-run system.

hydrangeas are starting to bloom all around the area.
BY DARRELL BLACKWELDER For the Salisbury Post
Hydrangeas seem to be blooming everywhere. It is a very showy plant that is making a statement all over Rowan County. Of all the hydrangeas, oakleaf hydrangeas are blooming in dramatic fashion. Oakleaf hydrangea, or Hydrangea quercifolia, is a white-blooming shrub with four seasons of interest that includes fall foliage color, leaf texture and bark interest. Another attribute is its toughness and ability to thrive in much dryer locations than other hydrangeas. Danny Lauderdale, extension agent in Pitt County, says “the shrub is relatively easy to grow given the right environment. The plant can take full sun to half shade; however, they do best with shade from the hot afternoon sun. The plant thrives best with a layer of mulch to maintain a cool, moist root environment. Amending the soil in the planting area with organic matter is also beneficial. Apply mulch at a depth of 4 inches, keeping the mulch away from the stems. Don’t plant oakleaf hydrangeas in full sun.” Landscape designers also appreciate its texture in the gar-
den due to the size and the large, deep lobes. The edges of the leaves have serrations or fine teeth that are not sharp since the leaves are not very stiff. Healthy plants have dark green leaves with a white or brown look on the bottom due to fine hairs. In the fall before leaves drop, they turn brilliant shades of red, orange and purple through November. With age, the stems of oakleaf hydrangeas become cinnamon-brown and the bark begins to peel. Plants usually grow up to 6 or 8 feet high in the average landscape but can reach heights of 12 feet. Width is the same as height. Flowers open white in panicles up to 12 inches long and 4 inches wide. Individual flowers within the cluster are about 1 inch. Flower color changes from white to pink with some purple, then brown. There are probably more than 30 cultivars of oakleaf hydrangea available. The most popular cultivars are Harmony, Alice and Alison. Alice is a vigorous cultivar with white flower heads over a foot long. A more compact, smaller cultivar is Snow Queen. It produces pure white 8-inch flower heads that gradually turn pink. Snow Flake has large, hose-in-hose double
hydrangea flowers are about 1-inch, and the color changes from white to pink, then to brown. flowers that open white but have dark pink sepals. Pee Wee and Sykes are compact forms only reaching about 3 to 4 ft tall at maturity.

High heat and humidity compound problems T big shrubs that look like hydrangeas. They have a big white blooms. What are these plants? Answer: The plants you see on the sides of the road in bloom now are common elderberry (Sambucus canadensis). It is a fairly common large shrub with large, white, flat-topped flower clusters. After bloom, the plant produces clusters of purple-black fruit.
he last few days of May have delivered unusually hot weather and excessively high humidity normally associated in July and August. Coping with the excessive elements often compounds other problems caused DARRELL by insects BLACKWELDER and diseases. Below are questions posed earlier this week by homeowners. Question: My squash plants are beautiful and have really big blooms, yet I don't have any squash setting fruit. What is the problem? Answer: All cucurbits — cucumbers, watermelon, cantaloupe, etc. and including squash — need honey bees to pollinate. You don't have enough bees or they may be distracted with other blooming plants and are not pollinating your squash. For example, when poplar trees are blooming, bees will go to them first. Be patient or you can handpollinate the vines with a

Answer: Bamboo is very difficult to control. Few herbicides are effective on bamboo. The only treatment regimen that has been proven to be effective is a winter application of the granular herbicide Casoron combined with summer spot sprays using glyphosate (Roundup). Cut
the bamboo back and allow it to re-sprout. After new sprouts emerge, spray with herbicides to prevent re-establishment. Recent research has shown that glyphosate works better than other herbicides for controlling the plant. More information can be found at www.ces.ncsu.edu/chatham /ag/homehort/BambooControl.htm. Question: When I drive around Rowan County I have noticed these really
Question: When is the best time for me to prune my azaleas? I have quite a few plants that need to be pruned back. Answer: Most azalea shrubs can be pruned back now, but you need to do this soon. These plants set their buds in late summer, so try to have the plants pruned by July 4th. Question: My tomato plants’ leaves are rolled up. The plant otherwise looks good and has tomatoes. Is there something wrong with the plant? Should I spray it with anything? Answer: Many of the newer and some older tomato cultivars roll their leaves during growth. The plant is fine.
“They came from outer space,” claims David Salman, who sent out a press release that claims he discovered a unique group of extraterrestrial plants in an unmapped meteor crater just west of Roswell, N.M., of all places. Though he discusses it at length on YouTube, we cactophiles know it was all a tongue-in-cheek marketing campaign to encourage people to take a fresh look at the importance of our precious native cacti. Salman had me going as I read his fantastic claims, which also included a name for this fictitious cactus, “Ariocarpus extraterrestrialensis.” Salman’s day job is chief horticulturist at High Country Gardens in Santa Fe, N.M., but he’s a dyed-in-the-wool cactophile. He probably used “Ariocarpus” because it is a little-known genus outside the cactusgrowing community. It has a limited range extending from the limestone hills of the Rio Grande southward to central Mexico. With only eight known species, they are incredibly rare in the wild. As supply dwindled, the sales price of a mature specimen skyrocketed, which encourages illegal collection of plants from the wild. Now Ariocarpus are endangered due to habitat loss and over-collecting in unregulated Mexican deserts. Sadly, this is due to the small size and spinelessness that make them easier to carry away. Minus the spiky armor of other species that don’t slip easily into a pocket, plucking an ancient Ariocarpus from the ground is easy with these conveniently small, slow-growing plants. Ariocarpus need CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) documents to be exported from, or imported into, the United States, as well as health certificates. Therefore, buying them from Mexico or anywhere else outside the U.S. without proper documentation is illegal. The vast majority of Ariocarpus plants sold today should be cultivated from seed in a nursery, but there remains an active black market among collectors. They are difficult to find online but plentiful on eBay, where amateur growers are selling their seed-raised plants. This is the best place to get started collecting with a wide range of affordable seedlings. Larger Ariocarpus are among the most expensive cacti to buy. This is because it takes years to reach a marketable size and decades to become a mature specimen. Slow growth also limits seed production. Because this is not a cactus that produces “pups,” or offsets that can be severed and rooted into new plants, making a new individual represents quite an investment. It requires growing from seed or grafting a bit of Ariocarpus onto faster-growing cacti to increase the population for sales. This cactus is highly sensitive to soil conditions, which no doubt led Salman to suggest possible intergalactic origins. It is found in extremely porous mineral soils with little to no organic matter, much as you’d find on an uninhabited planet. Ariocarpus will tolerate water only during its summer growth period. Applying water any other time of year can be

Wife wants buns in the oven; hubby in the trash a sink washing pans just because my lovely wife wants to be a full-time baker. The only time I even hinted at the fact that I didn’t want to work there, she called me lazy and unsupportive (I typically only work about 15 or 20 hours a week.) How can I tell her that I don’t want to be involved in the day-to-day operation of her new business, and at the same time convey that I support her fully? — Hurtin’ Husband Dear Hurtin’: While getting family members to work in the family business is a timetested recipe for success, compelling a spouse to take out your business’s trash is a less than savory ingredient in a marriage. Would you accuse your wife of being lazy or unsupportive if she didn’t want to sweep your office floor or tote your mass mailing to the
post office for you? I assume not. I suggest you tell your wife that while you won’t be working at her business, you’d be happy to help her strategize and develop a business plan that doesn’t involve you being her (trash) bag man.
cating — I stated to him that I enjoy hearing the sound of a human voice and I don’t like texting. I then said, “How do you feel about using the telephone rather than texting ... since I am rather old-fashioned and traditional?” He laughed (LOL), and said, “I know how to use the telephone.” Well you guessed it — communication from him consists of email rather than a telephone call. Is the telephone considered too personal and intimate? This “fine gentleman” also texted to tell me that he met someone two weeks before he met me, and they’re not “a couple” so if it doesn’t work out he’d like to see me. Now it’s my turn to LOL. What gives? — Rose
Dear Amy: Has dating etiquette changed so drastically — or am I behind the times? After taking a prolonged hiatus from dating, I recently rejoined a wellknown dating website. I have met (so far) two men who have communicated only by texting. Yes, we have met in person, but any follow-up communication has been by text (one man canceled our third date by text). Prior to meeting the second man — who happens to be in his 60s, so he knows alternative ways of communi-

Use a reminder bracelet to stay on track Reminder bracelets can be made cheaply. A beaded bracelet can help you remember to drink enough glasses of water or help kids to remember their homework, an disearly missal for an appointment, to return library books, or for daily tasks such as brushing their teeth or SARA making their NOEL bed without being told. They work well to remind yourself of your goals when put in a situation to either overeat or overspend, as well. The first reader tip features an even cheaper bracelet idea. Make a reminder bracelet: Get a thicker rubber band, write your message on it (maybe something motivational or a reminder to take your medications) and wear it on your wrist. — Nada, Canada
Use for Fels-Naptha. FelsNaptha can also be used to treat acne. Usually clears it
up in about a week. Don't use after it's cleared. Fels can be very drying to the skin. — Kay, email
Freeze citrus. My father taught me a lemon/lime trick that works great. If you slice citrus fruit and quick-freeze the slices, they can be transferred and stored and easily retrieved in a small glass jar or old frosting container in the freezer for use later in drinks or to garnish food in cooking. — Janet N., email
Repurposed containers. My planters are yogurt cups and the greenhouses are 1-gallon water bottles, cut in half. When the season is done, what I don't decide to keep is all recyclable! — Donna, California
Microwave use. Remove wax from candleholders (just not metal or lead crystal candleholders). Microwave for 30 seconds. If it is not soft enough, nike another 30 seconds. You don't need to melt the wax, just make it soft enough to peel off. You can
wipe off the remaining wax with a paper towel. Never use the dishwasher to remove wax from candleholders. It will clog the dishwasher drain or your sink's drain. — Ralph G.,
Wouldn't want to do without it. — Dona L., email
New use for old socks. I use old socks to cover my skeins of yarn to keep them from getting dusty. (I have a fairly large stash.) I have also made a mop from the socks to replace the rag mop style. Just zip tied them to the mop handle and mopped away. I had that mop for almost three years and just replaced the socks as needed. My mother, who thinks I deprive myself, bought a Swiffer mop for me. I then made replacements for it instead of the disposables. I told her next Christmas a roll of foil would be GREAT! The roll I got 2 years ago is almost gone. — C.L.,
Prevent perspiration stains on bra. I use my anti-antiperspirant on that area. Works well for me. Deodorant might also work. — Judi, Michigan
Use for 3-tier hanging basket. For the last 40 years of our married life, my husband has put a hook above my kitchen sink (off to the right hand side, above the corner of the sink) and I have hung a plant hanger up there. When I have a small batch of dishes to wash, I put the dishes in the hanger. I put my rubber gloves in the top basket, I have a small utensil holder (out of an old drainer) in the second basket and I put large, washed items in the bottom basket. Dishes are done, out of the way, and they can drip into the sink. No need to have my dish drainer on the counter all the time and I have been doing this for years.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — There will be no headache for “Hangover Part II” this holiday weekend, with North American ticket sales expected to exceed $100 million. And unlike the pain of last Memorial Day, there should be no holiday headache for Hollywood, either, with several strong movies in the marketplace likely to boost this year’s total for one of the busiest movie-going periods of the year to well over $200 million. This would be up from $192 million last year, the lowest level in nearly 20 years, and could perhaps rival the highest grossing Memorial weekend ever — $255 million in 2007. Warner Bros.’ debuting

The Nielsen Co. said Thursday that was 21 percent more than last year’s ultimate show. “American Idol” started the season with worries that the departure of Simon Cowell might siphon away fans. But ratings actually rose with the addition of judges

Stepmother of slain girl in court on unrelated drug trafficking charges CHARLOTTE (AP) — A woman charged in the death of her 10-year-old disabled stepdaughter made her first appearance in federal court Thursday on unrelated charges of trafficking prescription medications. U.S. Magistrate David Keesler in Charlotte ordered that Elisa Baker, 43, be held until a detention hearing on June 2. Federal prosecutors said Baker distributed and planned to distribute drugs including oxycodone and hydrocodone between 2006 and last October. They also say she conspired with others to distribute the drugs.
Baker faces seven counts. Conviction on all the charges could bring a prison sentence of up to 140 years. She also is charged in Catawba County with second-degree murder in the death of Zahra Baker, the freckle-faced Australian girl who had a prosthetic leg and hearing aids because of her fight with bone cancer. Authorities say Baker dismembered the girl’s body to cover up her killing. If convicted, she faces up to 30 years in prison in that case. She will be arraigned on the second-degree murder charge on June 27.

RALEIGH (AP) — An industry-supported bill to allow consumer finance companies to make more from small unsecured loans has been approved by a House committee despite complaints by the military it could hurt servicemen and women. The House Banking Committee voted Thursday 15-6 in favor of changes to installment loan regulations. Loan office owners argue rules unchanged since the 1980s haven’t kept up with their business costs. The bill would allow companies to lend up to $15,000, compared to the current $10,000.

RALEIGH (AP) — A Republican bill linking jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed to North Carolina state government budget cuts was set aside until next week to give budget negotiators more time to work out a deal that may include the benefits extension. The House delayed Thursday a vote on a measure restoring extended benefits to 42,000 jobless workers that’s tied to putting spending cuts in place July 1 should a final state budget remain unresolved. Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue vetoed a similar bill last month and has criticized the latest bill. House Speaker Thom Tillis said it was a better use of time for House and Senate budget negotiators to meet before the holiday weekend. The Senate is expected to vote next Tuesday on its budget bill that contains the benefits extension.

BILL WOULD HELP TEXTILES
Snipping off bogus yarns n unfair trade environment continues to cost thousands of textile jobs in the Carolinas. Federal mechanisms that already have been put into place aren’t being used to their full potential because there aren’t people and money to enforce them. U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan, a Democrat from Greensboro, again is co-sponsoring bipartisan legislation that would help address those inequities by cracking down on illegal yarn trafficking. Free-trade agreements allow duty-free shipments to other countries of U.S.-made yarn that will be made into garments exported back here duty-free. But non-U.S. yarn also is being used by companies that pass themselves off as American. According to the National Council of Textile Organizations, textiles and apparel have the highest fraud rankings of any industrial product. The textile group estimates that 42 percent of all duties collected by customs and border inspectors — totaling approximately $11 billion — are derived from textile imports, by far the largest source of such revenue. To address the problem, Hagan and Reps. Larry Kissell, D-8th, and Walter Jones, R-3rd, are lobbying for passage of the Textile Security Enforcement Act (TESA). When a similar bill was introduced in 2010, it garnered strong bipartisan support from the state’s congressional delegation. Then it went nowhere in Washington. As it stands, there aren’t enough inspectors to deal with the volume of yarn-based goods being shipped back to the United States from other nations, including those in CAFTA and NAFTA. Hagan says her bill would help “level the playing field” by increasing the number of apparel verification specialists at 15 ports and by enhancing customs checks at border crossings. Her bill also would establish an electronic verification program that tracks yarn and fabric imports from companies operating under free trade agreements. While the state’s textile industry has lost more than 200 plants since 1997, it still is a force to be reckoned with, employing thousands of workers. Yet, while the U.S. textile industry is the third-largest exporter of textile products, it often is placed at a disadvantage because other nations aren’t honoring their end of trade agreements. Closing loopholes, stepping up export/import enforcement and demanding environmental safeguards in foreign manufacturing processes all would help close the growing and costly gap. As co-chairwoman of the Senate Textile Caucus, Hagan can play a key role in leveling that playing field. Others in the state congressional delegation can help. Even though North Carolina’s textile industry may never reclaim its past glory, it is still a strong player. Ensuring that it gets a fair shake in growing world markets would help keep it strong.

Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future. — Paul Boese
Moderately confused
s we live our lives we never know the twists and turns we may see through the years. Some of those twists and turns will be ones we embrace, while others will be ones we think we cannot bear. Five years ago, the later happened to me with the death of my dad. Many people endure losing a parent, but it’s even harder when unexpected. My dad was a WWII veteran, and even at 85 years of age, he never got over the sights, sounds and injuries he endured in his DICY missions as a MCCULLOUGH many soldier. He brought those memories home with him to relive over and over again. As a child, I could sense the torture he lived with, and yet, to me he was just dad. He never was one to show love in the sense of hugs or outpouring of emotion, but he provided for my needs, taught me to love church and country, and instilled in me the desire to get an education. He grew up during the Depression, and as a teenager, one of the main reasons he entered the Army was to have a place to live and something to eat. Suffering from hunger as a child caused him to have the resolution to work, budget his money and never waste anything. He believed in doing things for himself, and often would fix things around the house in unusual ways to save money. He recycled before it became popular and duct tape became a staple around our house. My dad kept up with current events and understood all too well the trauma of the soldiers fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. I often heard him say he hated what was happening to the soldiers coming home from the war. I can still hear his words, “Those boys coming home from overseas are not being treated right.” He believed they were suffering in ways many civilians couldn’t understand, and he, for one, was tired of people saying, “Oh, get over it and move on.” It had been more than 60 years since he had served on the front lines in Germany, and he still hadn’t gotten over it. Dad was a private man and went about living his life quietly. He was a smart man and could have been anything he wanted. Yet, he became very nervous in social situations and this kept him from reaching his potential. Studying his Bible was a source of comfort for him, and I believe this helped him make it to the age of 85. Without his Bible, and my mom, he probably would have been gone long before then. Being a soldier was always a thread that weaved throughout the very fiber of his body, and for that reason, I think of him especially on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. My mom has a picture in her living room of him when he was a tall young soldier in his crisp uniform looking so very proud. I didn’t know him then, and can only imagine what my life would have been like if he had not endured the scars of war. Yet, because he did and because so many others are willing to do so, generations of children continue to grow up free. At the passing of my dad, I began writing poetry to help deal with the grief. The very first poem I wrote was “Soldier’s Cry.” I imagined what it was like for my dad, or any soldier, to go off to war scared, knowing there was a job to be done, and yet taking great comfort in having a loved one at home thinking of them. Words can never express our gratitude for all the sacrifices made by these brave men and women, but still we must say thank you. You are and will always be our heroes.

Dark times in Tennessee Mosque case reveals fever of extremism o, it turns out Islam is a religion. Imagine that. Granted, this would be considered self-evident by most of us, but it has been a matter of great controversy in the Tennessee town of Murfreesboro, where 17 people went to court last year to prevent a group of Muslims from building a mosque. On their own land. The need to defend this fundamental right was only one of the ordeals visited upon the Muslims of Murfreesboro, who have also faced threats, vandalism and arson. As recently, vividly illustrated in “UnLEONARD welcome: The Muslims Next Door,” a troubling PITTS CNN documentary, the antagonists here are a clownish band of bigots scared witless by the prospect that a new mosque will be built in their community by a congregation that has already worshipped in said community for 30 years. Seriously. You can’t make this stuff up. The 17 had contended Muslims have no constitutional freedom to worship because Islam is not a religion. So the statement at the top of this column represents not just self-evident truth, but an actual ruling last week by an actual judge in an actual court. Again: seriously. Chancellor Robert Corlew, the aforementioned actual judge, was obliged to verify that Islam — which has survived 14 centuries, and claims a billion and a half adherents — is a religion. As reported in the Daily News Journal of Murfreesboro, in throwing out most of the plaintiff's case, Corlew also dismissed claims that “Kevin Fisher, an AfricanAmerican Christian, would be subject to being a second-class citizen under Sharia law; Lisa Moore would be targeted for death under Sharia law because she’s a Jewish female; Henry Golzynski has been

harmed because he lost a son fighting in Fallujah, Iraq, by insurgents pursuing jihad as dictated by Sharia law.” Maybe you're tempted to turn away in disgust. Yield not to temptation. We need to see this. This is what it looks like when a country loses its mind. It looked like this in Germany in 1938 on Kristallnacht, in Rwanda in 1994 when the Hutus savaged the Tutsis, in America in 1942 when the Japanese were herded behind barbed wire. My point is explicitly not that Muslims face mass vandalism, genocide or internment. Lord only knows what they face. Rather, my point is that the psychological architecture of what happened then is identical to the psychological architecture of Murfreesboro now. Once again, we see people goaded by their own night terrors, hatreds, need for scapegoats, and by the repetitive booming of demagogues, until they go to a place beyond reason. And in that place inevitably lies a dark night of malice, destruction and awful deeds that seem like good ideas at the time. When it passes, like a fever, we — the doers and those who simply observe — are left shivering in a cold dawn as reason reasserts itself, wondering how barbarism overtook us, what broke loose inside us, and vowing that it will never happen again. Never again. Me, I don’t fear Muslims. I fear Muslim extremists. I fear extremists, period. And that group in Murfreesboro, make no mistake, are extremists. Against their extremism, I find bitter succor in the inevitability of that cold dawn. Yes, there will come a morning after. But first we must learn how dark this night will be. • • • Contact syndicated columnist Leonard Pitts via e-mail at lpitts@miamiherald.com.
TO THE
Harold Camping was wrong about what the Bible says May 21 turned out to be just another day, no end of the world, no rapture, just another day giving us a chance to do what is necessary for when the time comes that the Lord returns to receive his children home. Undoubtedly, Harold Camping, who predicted May 21 as the end of the world, wanted a bit of publicity. The Expositor’s Bible (KJV) clearly states in Mark 13:32: “But of that day and that hour knows no man, no, not the Angels which are in Heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.” (The Son of Man, under the self-imposed limitations of the Incarnation, says that even He himself did not at that time know the hour of the Second Advent, and of the time of the fulfillment of these other things grouped around that event; without a doubt, He now knows, and I’m sure the angels now know as well; but then they didn’t.) The Bible does not mention “the end of the world,” and we as Christians and believers should read the word of God and remember that no one but the Father knows when the rapture will occur. By doing this,

These really are lonely planets Scripps Howard News Service
In a discovery that should send science fiction writers racing to their keyboards, astronomers have discovered 10 potential planets, gas giants as large as Jupiter, just wandering through the farther reaches of the Milky Way, apparently un-tethered to any star. There is a possibility these planets could be in exceptionally wide orbits but astronomers think not. Having probably been ejected by some event in their original system, it is likely that they are following no orbit at all. And these free floating planets may be even more common than stars, perhaps twice as common, meaning there could more than 400 billion of them roaming through our galaxy. And even more common may be planets
closer to the size of Earth because, being smaller, they would be easier to expel from their original orbits. These smaller planets may even be habitable, absent the warmth of a star, because thick layers of greenhouse gases could retain heat. Working with a team of astronomers in Japan and New Zealand, Notre Dame physicist David Bennett wrote the study that found the giant planets, in large part because they are massive enough to bend the light of the stars they pass in front of. In the more than a decade since the first ever planet outside of our solar system was detected, astronomers have identified more than 500 so-called exoplanets. And now we have free-range planets. It must make life difficult for the prophets of doom. Just as the predict the end of the world, the astronomers find more of them.

It's hard to explain the torment and fear, but easier knowing you are there. Sing me a song, all through the night of peace and rest and a journey safe. Sing me a song to comfort my soul, to give me a smile and bid me farewell. Sing me a song. • • • Dicy McCullough of Salisbury is the author of the children’s book, “Tired of My Bath.”

Busch apologizes for driving 128 mph BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press
CONCORD — Kyle Busch apologized repeatedly Thursday for showing a “lack of judgment” in driving 128 mph in a 45 mph zone in a borrowed Lexus. Busch was cited for careless and reckless driving, and speeding following a Tuesday stop. He was driving a nearly $400,000 bright yellow Lexus. In his scheduled media session at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Busch apologized several times for the joyride and said he would not make the mistake again.
“I’m certainly sorry that it happened,” he said. “All I can do is apologize to the public, my friends, my fans and my sponsors. I’ll look at this experience as a learning experience and move forward.” The citation shows that Busch allegedly told the officer who stopped him the Lexus was “just a toy,” but seemed to realize the flippancy of that remark Thursday. “It wasn’t a toy, it’s a high performance vehicle,” Busch said. “It should be driven with caution. Obviously I didn’t have caution.

Heat beats Bulls Associated Press
CHICAGO — LeBron James, Heat 83 Dwyane Bulls 80 W a d e a n d Chris Bosh joined to win a championship. Well, now they have their shot. James scored 28 points, Wade added 21, and they led a furious rally in the final minutes as the Miami Heat eliminated Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls 83-80 in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals on Thursday. James and Wade were simply spectacular down the stretch, each scoring eight during a game-ending 18-3 run as Miami wiped out a 12-point deficit to win the series. Now, the Heat are headed back to the NBA finals for the first time since 2006, and in a fitting twist, they’ll be facing the Mavericks. Back then, with Wade leading the way, Miami beat Dallas to capture the championship. This time, it’ll be James and Dirk Nowitzki going for their first rings. The Heat will host Game 1 on Tuesday night. For Miami’s Big Three, this was the plan right from the start. The Heat had their difficulties along the way, including a fivegame losing streak in March, but look at them now. They just knocked off the team that won more games than any other, that boasted the league’s MVP in Rose and sent expectations soaring around Chicago in a way not seen since Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were racking up championships. Rose led Chicago with 25 points but hit just 9 of 29 shots. He fouled Wade on a key four-point play and missed a tying free throw with 26.7 seconds left. James had 11 rebounds and six assists. Wade’s late surge helped negate his nine turnovers. Bosh added 20 points and 10 rebounds as the Heat pulled out a dramatic win. “We had to go through a lot of adversity,” coach Erik Spoelstra said. “That struggle that we went through in March, where we lost five straight — all of them close games, where we didn’t execute down the stretch and weren’t able to close games out — that helped us. As painful as that was, we had to go through that fire together to be able to gain the confidence where we could be successful now.”

Former West Rowan quarterback Bryan Aycoth has become one of the nation’s top javelin throwers at Livingstone.
A slinging success Former all-county quarterback Aycoth now a javelin champion et’s see if I’ve got this straight. When Bryan Aycoth used to play football in the fall at West Rowan, he was a quarterback who was named Rowan County Offensive Player of the Year. When Aycoth suits up for Livingstone College in the fall, he’ll be a linebacker. When Aycoth used to play baseball in the spring at West RONNIE GALLAGHER Rowan, he was an allstate catcher, using that strong right arm to throw out
L
runners. When Aycoth suits up in the spring at Livingstone, he is still using that strong right arm, only now to throw the javelin. The what? That’s right. The javelin. It’s the new toy for the sportscrazed Aycoth, a Livingstone junior. He gets some quizzical looks when he talks about it, too. Aycoth remembers running into West Rowan football coach Scott Young, whose initial reaction to his former star was, “So you’re a javelin thrower now, huh.” Yes he is, and a very good one. In just three years, he has gone from
novice to one of the best throwers in the nation. In 2009, he was second in the CIAA (47.86 meters). Last year, he won the league title with a throw of 52.93. This season was his best. He slung the one-pound, eight-foot long bar 60.27 meters, barely missing out on the nationals in California. He finished 17th in the country. The top 16 qualified. The national meet eluded him by a mere two inches. Still, that’s pretty good for a country boy who had no idea what a javelin was when first introduced to the event. “I was clueless,” Aycoth laughed.
• Aycoth picked up the sport almost by accident. Blue Bear track coach Justin Davis, also a former West Rowan star, knew of Aycoth, knew of his mojo, and thought, “Hey, why not?” Davis explained. “I knew he was a quarterback and it has the same motion as baseball. Once you have a base of throwing, the javelin becomes natural.” “If you throw it right,” Aycoth smiles, “ it flies.” Aycoth doesn’t look the part of a javelin thrower. Most are tall and

Clijsters stunned in French BY HOWARD FENDRICH Associated Press

Kim Clijsters agonizes over her French Open loss.
PARIS — There were plenty of excuses available for Kim Clijsters after a stunning collapse in the second round of the French Open against a woman ranked 114th. In assessing her 3-6, 7-5, 6-1 loss to Arantxa Rus of the Netherlands on Thursday, the second-seeded Clijsters could have pointed to her heavily taped right ankle, which she hurt while dancing barefoot at her cousin’s wedding last month. In recounting how she managed to waste two match points and drop 11 of the last 12 games after leading 5-2 in
the second set, the Belgian could have mentioned that she last entered the French Open in 2006, and had played a total of five clay-court matches anywhere since. And in explaining her 65 unforced errors — 43 more than her opponent made — and 10 double-faults, Clijsters could have reminded everyone that she hadn’t competed at all since late March because of that bum ankle and previous injuries to her right shoulder and wrist. Instead, the winner of the last two Grand Slam titles, and four overall, pointed a finger squarely at herself and an odd crisis of confidence.

Busch was cited for careless and reckless driving, and speeding following a Tuesday stop. He was driving a nearly $400,000 bright yellow Lexus. In his scheduled media session at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Busch apologized several times for the joyride and said he would not make the mistake again.
“I’m certainly sorry that it happened,” he said. “All I can do is apologize to the public, my friends, my fans and my sponsors. I’ll look at this experience as a learning experience and move forward.” The citation shows that Busch allegedly told the officer who stopped him the Lexus was “just a toy,” but seemed to realize the flippancy of that remark Thursday. “It wasn’t a toy, it’s a high performance vehicle,” Busch said. “It should be driven with caution. Obviously I didn’t have caution.

AYCOTH’S NEW TOY
Heat beats Bulls
jon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST
Former West Rowan quarterback Bryan Aycoth has become one of the nation’s top javelin throwers at Livingstone.
A slinging success Former all-county quarterback Aycoth now a javelin champion et’s see if I’ve got this straight. When Bryan Aycoth used to play football in the fall at West Rowan, he was a quarterback who was named Rowan County Offensive Player of the Year. When Aycoth suits up for Livingstone College in the fall, he’s be a linebacker. When Aycoth used to play baseball in the spring at West RONNIE GALLAGHER Rowan, he was an allstate catcher, using that strong right arm to throw out
L
runners. When Aycoth suits up in the spring at Livingstone, he is still using that strong right arm, only now to throw the javelin. The what? That’s right. The javelin. It’s the new toy for the sportscrazed Aycoth, a Livingstone junior. He gets some quizzical looks when he talks about it, too. Aycoth remembers running into West Rowan football coach Scott Young, whose initial reaction to his former star was, “So you’re a javelin thrower now, huh.” Yes he is, and a very good one. In just three years, he has gone from
novice to one of the best throwers in the nation. In 2009, he was second in the CIAA (47.86 meters). Last year, he won the league title with a throw of 52.93. This season was his best. He slung the one-pound, eight-foot long bar 60.27 meters, barely missing out on the nationals in California. He finished 17th in the country. The top 16 qualified. The national meet eluded him by a mere two inches. Still, that’s pretty good for a country boy who had no idea what a javelin was when first introduced to the event. “I was clueless,” Aycoth laughed.
• Aycoth picked up the sport almost by accident. Blue Bear track coach Justin Davis, also a former West Rowan star, knew of Aycoth, knew of his mojo, and thought, “Hey, why not?” Davis explained. “I knew he was a quarterback and it has the same motion as baseball. Once you have a base of throwing, the javelin becomes natural.” “If you throw it right,” Aycoth smiles, “ it flies.” Aycoth doesn’t look the part of a javelin thrower. Most are tall and

Clijsters stunned in French BY HOWARD FENDRICH Associated Press
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kim Clijsters agonizes over her French Open loss.
PARIS — There were plenty of excuses available for Kim Clijsters after a stunning collapse in the second round of the French Open against a woman ranked 114th. In assessing her 3-6, 7-5, 6-1 loss to Arantxa Rus of the Netherlands on Thursday, the second-seeded Clijsters could have pointed to her heavily taped right ankle, which she hurt while dancing barefoot at her cousin’s wedding last month. In recounting how she managed to waste two match points and drop 11 of the last 12 games after leading 5-2 in
the second set, the Belgian could have mentioned that she last entered the French Open in 2006, and had played a total of five clay-court matches anywhere since. And in explaining her 65 unforced errors — 43 more than her opponent made — and 10 double-faults, Clijsters could have reminded everyone that she hadn’t competed at all since late March because of that bum ankle and previous injuries to her right shoulder and wrist. Instead, the winner of the last two Grand Slam titles, and four overall, pointed a finger squarely at herself and an odd crisis of confidence.

Kannapolis opens BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
KANNAPOLIS — Kannapolis hasn’t been a factor in American Legion baseball since the powerhouse 2006 team went 33-10, captured the program’s third Area III title in a fouryear span and went on to battle future Major Leaguers Alex White and Madison Bumgarner in the state tournament. Featuring future pros Zach Ward, Kyle Seager, Garrett Sherrill and Ryan Query, Kannapolis posted an impressive 134-51 record in a fiveyear span from 2002-06, but then the well ran dry. Coach Matt Stack, entering his fourth season at the helm, is optimistic the bite is going to be back this season. “A new AD, new uniforms with those old-school stirrups and charter buses to take to the games,” gushed Stack, a former Northest Cabarrus star who played on some of those stacked Kannapolis teams of the recent past. Kannapolis also has a fan-friendly new home venue — Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium — and, at long last, a new school to draw from. Stack has welcomed several players from Cox Mill. Their presence should make Kannapolis much deeper than it’s been in recent seasons. “For the first time since I’ve been head coach, we’ve got good replacements,” Stack said. “In the past, if even one guy was out, we were looking at a long night. Now we’ve got some options, and for the first time in a while, we’ve got enough arms to set up a nice pitching rotation. On paper, it looks good. Maybe we can surprise a few people.” College players are a huge factor in Legion ball, and Stack has four back in uniform. The key guy could be lefty Taylor West (3-1 as a Belmont Abbey freshman). Also on the roster are middle infielder Wes Honeycutt (Montreat), catcher/infielder Jon Wallace (Lynch-
burg) and relief pitcher Kevin Hamilton (Brevard). Honeycutt and Wallace bring a ton of experience and leadership to the table, while Hamilton projects as Stack’s closer. Stack said his starting rotation of West, Northwest Cabarrus’ tough lefty Rob Bain, a Davidson signee, and A.L. Brown’s Dylan May and Zach Jones should be solid. “That’s four guys that should give us a HONEYCUTT chance to win a lot of nights,” Stack said. Other A.L. Brown players expected to contribute are infielder Caleb Jackson, second baseman Tyler Sides, first baseman Tyler Freeze and pitchers Michael Church and WEST Nathaniel Sexton. Besides being hurlers, Jones and May are capable outfielders. All of Northwest’s regular outfielders — David Broome, Evan Holub and Wingate signee Will Miller — are on board this season , as well as catcher Landon Hubbard and power-hitting third baseman Jarrin Hogue. The Cox Mill contingent includes shortstop Mike Jones, third baseman Connor Schaewe, pitcher/outfielder Austin Mace and pitcher/infielder Luke Pepper. “I think a big part in all these kids coming out was playing at Fieldcrest,” Stack said. “Who wouldn’t want to play games at that stadium?” Kannapolis has three games scheduled for Webb Field when the Intimidators are at home. Kannapolis opens tonight at Lexington’s Holt-Moffitt Field and plays host to Lexington on Saturday. Those are non-division games, as Lexington has been shifted to the Northern Division of Area III this season.

Posey’s season in jeopardy SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Buster Posey was carted through a tunnel at AT&T Park on Thursday, a makeshift cast covering his left ankle and no emotion on his face. Not exactly the exit the cornerstone of the World Series champion Giants wanted this season. A night after Florida’s Scott Cousins crashed into him at home plate, San Francisco’s star catcher was put on the disabled list because of a fractured bone in his lower left leg and three torn ligaments in his ankle, likely ending his season and putting a major dent in the Giants’ chances of repeating. “You just don’t replace a guy like Buster Posey,” said Giants manager Bruce Bochy, a former catcher who was so stricken by the news he called on Major League Baseball to review rule changes for collisions at the plate. As word spread throughout the clubhouse, players began to come to grips with what Posey’s injury meant. The normally blaring speakers near bearded closer Brian Wilson’s locker were uncharacteristically silent. Televisions were turned off. No one was playing dominoes or card games. Hard to imagine a more important position player than Posey to replace. Posey has been San Francisco’s cleanup hitter.

The Red Sox, 14-2 winners over Cleveland on Wednesday, scored at least 14 runs in back-to-back games for the first time since 1998. Boston has won 11 of 13. Carl Crawford’s two-run triple gave the Red Sox a seven-run lead and chased Max Scherzer (6-2). Alfredo Aceves (2-0) allowed a run on five hits and struck out six over six innings. Aceves made his second start with Boston and the seventh of his career. He has won his last 12 decisions, dating to 2009 when he was a Yankees reliever, for baseball’s longest winning streak since Cliff Lee won the same number of consecutive decisions with Cleveland three years ago. Aceves’ previous 11 wins were as a reliever. Orioles 6, Royals 5, 12 innings BALTIMORE — Vladimir Guerrero singled in Robert Andino in the 12th inning to give Baltimore its season-high fifth straight victory. Nolan Reimold had four hits, including two homers, and four RBIs for the Orioles, who squandered a bases-loaded, no-out situation in the 11th before coming through in the 12th. Andino led off the inning with a single off Louis Coleman (0-2), the sixth Kansas City pitcher. Adam Jones popped out and Nick Markakis was intentionally walked before Guerrero hit a bouncing single up the middle. Jeremy Accardo (3-1) worked two perfect innings for the victory.

tossed three-hit ball over eight scoreless innings, and Andy LaRoche drove in three runs in last-place Oakland’s victory over Los Angeles. The A’s split the four-game series with the second-place Angels, 4-7 in their past 11 games. Anderson (3-4) struck out four and walked three to beat the Angels for the first time in six career starts. Grant Balfour gave up a three-run homer to Mark Trumbo with two outs in the ninth. Joel Pineiro (2-1) allowed up 11 hits and four runs in 61⁄3 innings — the same three totals he had in his previous start against
Atlanta. White Sox 3, Blue Jays 1 TORONTO — Juan Pierre’s ninth-inning infield single drove in the tiebreaking run for Chicago in the White Sox’s 13th victory in their last 19 games. Pierre went 2 for 4 with two RBIs and extended his hitting streak to 11 games. Jesse Crain (2-1) pitched a third of an inning for the win and Sergio Santos finished the ninth for his eighth save in nine opportunities. Marc Rzepczynski (2-1) allowed two runs, none earned, in one inning. Yunel Escobar homered for Toronto. The Blue Jays have lost three straight.
Weary Phillies bounce back from marathon Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — Cliff Lee drove in three runs and worked eight effective innings, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 104 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday. Raul Ibanez hit a three-run homer, and Chase Utley also connected to help the Phillies take three of four from the Reds. The teams were playing with little rest following a 19-inning game ended at 1:19 a.m. Thursday, after 6 hours, 11 minutes and 600 pitches. Lee (4-4) threw 114 pitches in eight innings. But his biggest contributions came at the plate. The Phillies loaded the bases with no outs in the sixth inning against Daryl Thompson (0-1), who had made his major league debut an inning earlier. Lee (44) followed a walk to catcher Dane Sardinha with a first-pitch double over center fielder Drew Stubbs’s head. It bounced over the fence for a ground-rule double. An inning later, Lee’s sin-
gle up the middle scored John Mayberry Jr. Lee became the first Phillies pitcher to drive in three runs since Cory Lidle, on Sept. 4, 2004, against the Mets. Jay Bruce his NL-leading 14th homer for the Reds. Marlins 1, Giants 0 SAN FRANCISCO — Anibal Sanchez threw a five-hitter for another complete game in San Francisco, leading Florida past a Giants team still stunned by the loss of Buster Posey. A day after the star catcher broke his lower left leg when Scott Cousins crashed into him at the plate — likely ending Posey’s season — the Marlins finished off a three-game sweep. Sanchez (4-1) struck out eight and walked two for his fifth career complete game and second this season. He pitched a onehitter against the Giants last July 29 in his previous appearance at AT&T Park. Logan Morrison’s RBI single in the sixth inning off Ryan Vogelsong scored Chris Coghlan
for the only run. Vogelsong (31) struck out three and scattered eight hits in eight innings for his first loss in six starts. Cubs 9, Mets 3 CHICAGO — Carlos Zambrano pitched six strong innings, went 3-for-3 at the plate and drove in a run in Chicago’s victory over New York. Zambrano (5-2) allowed two runs — one earned — on six hits and two walks while picking up his first win at Wrigley Field since Sept. 4. He doubled and scored a run, and has four hits in his last four at-bats to raise his average to .375. Carlos Pena hit a two-run homer in the fourth for Chicago. The Mets lost starter R.A. Dickey to a heel injury in the third when he fell trying to cover first base. New York’s bullpen allowed eight hits and seven runs after Dickey departed. Pedro Beato (1-1) took the loss, allowing four runs in 11⁄3 innings. Diamondbacks 6, Rockies 3 DENVER — Micah Owings
pitched five effective innings for his first win in more than a year and Miguel Montero hit a three-run homer, helping the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the slumping Colorado Rockies on Thursday night. Owings (1-0) bottled up the Rockies’ struggling offense, allowing just four hits and striking out three. The only run he surrendered was an RBI single by Troy Tulowitzki in the fourth. The right-hander earned his first win since last May, when he was a member of the Cincinnati Reds. This was Owings’ second start of the season for the Diamondbacks in his second stint back with the squad. Montero staked Owings to an early lead, lining a belt-high pitch over the right-field fence in the fourth after Clayton Mortensen (1-2) walked the first two batters of the inning. It was Montero’s first homer since April 28. Kelly Johnson added a two-run homer off Rockies closer Huston Street in the ninth.

History It happened on May 27 1904 — dennis McGann of the New York Giants stole five bases in one game to set a major league record. 1937 — carl Hubbell, working in relief for the New York Giants, won his 24th straight game over two seasons. Hubbell pitched two innings and Mel ott hit a ninth-inning home run to beat the cincinnati reds 3-2. Hubbell’s string started July 17, 1936. 1955 — Norm Zauchin of the Boston red sox knocked in 10 runs with three home runs and a double in the first five innings of a 16-0 victory over the Washington senators. 1960 — Baltimore catcher clint courtney used the “big mitt” for the first time to catch knuckleball pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm. the mitt, designed by paul richards, was 50 percent larger than the standard. Nothing got by courtney as the orioles beat the New York Yankees 3-2. 1968 — Montreal and san diego were awarded National League franchises as the league expanded for the first time in seven years. 1974 — pittsburgh’s Ken Brett beat the san diego padres 6-0 with a two-hitter in the first game of a doubleheader and hit a pinch-hit triple to give the pirates an 8-7 victory in the second. 1981 — seattle’s Lenny randle dropped to his hands and knees in an attempt to “encourage” amos otis’ slow roller to go foul. Umpire Larry Mccoy accused the Mariner third baseman of blowing the ball foul and gave the Kansas city outfielder the single. randle explained he was merely yelling at the ball not to stay fair. the royals won 8-5.

Dirk Nowitzki celebrates with fans after the Mavericks ousted Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
Mavs don’t want 2006 repeat Associated Press
DALLAS — For five years, Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry have lived with the regret of letting an NBA championship slip away. Next week, they get to try again. Maybe even in the same place where everything fell apart. The scene was Miami, where the Dallas Mavericks led 2-0 in the series and by 13 points with 6:34 left in Game 3. Had the Mavs held on, they almost certainly would've claimed their first title. Instead, they lost that game and the next three, a humiliating finish to the greatest season in club history. Now they've topped themselves. A 12-3 romp through the postseason has put the Mavs back in the finals. They'd meet the Heat again if Miami can cash in on a 3-1 lead over Chicago in the Eastern Conference finals. If the Heat win Game 5 on Thursday
night, the finals would start Tuesday in Miami. If the Bulls win Game 5, the finals wouldn't begin until Thursday in the city of the East champion. Even at 3-2, Chicago would be facing long odds to win the series; only eight teams have overcome a 3-1 deficit. "Whatever happens, happens," Nowitzki said. "We're probably going to know here pretty soon who it is, and we're going to prepare like we have in the first three series and do our homework and then get ready to play." Since struggling in Portland during the first round, the Mavericks have won 10 of 11 games. Nowitzki is playing at the highest level of his already outstanding career, and the front-office guys look like geniuses for loading up on 30something guys who've never won a title. Everyone in the locker room has bought into coach Rick Carlisle's defense-first approach. Nobody gripes

The NFL notebook ... MINNEAPOLIS — The NFL hasn’t wavered in this message to its locked-out players: Get out of the courts and come back to the bargaining table. Reiterating that mantra, lawyers for the league issued written arguments Thursday that a recent legal response by players does not dispel “serious doubts” previously expressed by an appeals court about a federal judge’s order that the lockout end immediately. Repeatedly during this dragged-out, employer-employee dispute over the future of this lucrative, everpopular professional sport, the NFL has insisted the only path to a new agreement is through face-to-face talks. RETIRING OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Former Baltimore Ravens kicker Matt Stover announced his retirement Thursday, ending a career that spanned two decades in the National Football League. A one-time Pro Bowl selection who provided much of the offense for the Ravens' Super Bowl championship team in 2000, Stover leaves the NFL as the fourthranked scorer in the league's history with 2,004 points and 471 field goals. He is the Ravens' all-time leading scorer with 1,464 points. "No regrets," the 43-yearold kicker said during a news conference at the Ravens' training complex. "I gave it all I had. I can look back at that and say I did all I could to be everything I could be." He also ranks seventh in the league in field goal accuracy with an 83.7 percent success rate. Stover will be inducted into the Ravens' Ring of Honor on Nov. 20 at M&T Bank Stadium. He kicked for the Ravens for 13 years after spending the early portion of his career with the original Cleveland Browns. PACKERS’ RINGS GREEN BAY, Wis. — Lockout or not, the Green Bay Packers will receive their Super Bowl rings in a
about playing time or personal stats, such as who will be Nowitzki's top sidekick on a given night. They're truly bonded by the notion the ring is the only thing that matters. Their unselfishness was especially evident Wednesday night, when the Mavs pulled off a second straight fourth-quarter rally against the inexperienced Oklahoma City Thunder. Shawn Marion, Jason Kidd and Terry all made key plays — not just baskets, but crucial steals, rebounds and passes. "We've got some guys with some very decorated careers here that have taken on different types of roles on a team that's building a strength-in-numbers type team," Carlisle said. "It's exciting, but my sense is we're very grounded. We'll enjoy this moment for a day, watch the game (Thursday) night and see where things are. We have a lot of work left to do."

Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, left, talks with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. June 16 ceremony at Lambeau Field. Although contact between players and team officials generally is prohibited during the league's ongoing work stoppage, the team says the NFL granted a special exemption allowing it to hold the ceremony. In a statement posted on the Packers' website, president and CEO Mark Murphy says the team is excited to "celebrate all the hard work that went into the championship." REDSKINS ASHBURN, Va. — The Washington Redskins threeday player-run minicamp has come to an end. Plans for another one are already in the works. About 40 players took part each day in the workouts at a Virginia high school. Some players are staying in town for an extra day to play golf together. Linebacker London Fletcher said the players will reconvene, probably in June, if the NFL lockout continues. Players said the professionalism of the workouts shows they can get things accomplished even when the coaches aren't around. LIONS HIRE A FISHER ALLEN PARK, Mich. — The Detroit Lions have hired Jeff Fisher's son to assist their defensive coaching staff. The move to add Brandon Fisher came Thursday. His father coached the Tennessee Titans from 1994-2010. Lions coach Jim Schwartz worked for Fisher as Tennessee's defensive coordinator before getting his first shot to lead a team.
CHARLESTON, S.C. — Lefty Driesell hasn't given up coaching, not even after his induction into the Southern Conference Hall of Fame. Driesell says he's continually giving tips to son Chuck, who spent his first year as head coach at The Citadel this past winter. "But he's like all children, he doesn't listen," Lefty said. Driesell was among six enshrined in the 90-year-old league's third Hall of Fame class. Although the group included former Dallas Cowboys linebacker Dexter Coakley, past Wimbledon and U.S. Open singles champion Vic Seixas and Tennessee's cherished former football coach, Gen. Robert Neyland, none were as colorful as college basketball's "Lefthander." Driesell, 79, earned the honor through nine successful seasons at Davidson from 1960 to 1969. He won five regular-season and three tournament titles and took the Wildcats to the NCAAs in 1966, 1968 and 1969. Davidson went to the round of 16 in 1966 and played in the NCAA's final eight in 1968 and 1969. "I'm proud to be in the Hall of Fame in the Southern Conference. You know why? Our first job was in the Southern Conference," Driesell said. After going 176-65 at Davidson, Driesell went on to lead Maryland, James Madison and Georgia State — reaching the NCAA tournament at each stop. "Yeah, some people might say we were lucky," Driesell said. "But I had a philosophy that the harder you worked, the luckier you got."

FRENCH FROM 1B “I started doubting a little bit,” said Clijsters, the French Open runner-up in 2001 and 2003. “When you start doubting yourself on any surface — but for me, definitely on clay — it’s the wrong attitude to have.” The 27-year-old Clijsters also gave credit to the 20-year-old Rus, who entered the day with a 3-4 career record in major tournaments and only twice before had been to Court Philippe Chatrier — and those visits were as a spectator. A similar scenario played out later in that stadium Thursday, except it was

LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles police say they are satisfied with the results of a lineup to find out whether witnesses to the brutal beating of a San Francisco Giants fan could identify the man suspected of leading the attack. The Los Angeles Police Department said that Giovanni Ramirez had taken part in a physical identification lineup and that police would submit their case to the district attorney's office at the appropriate time. Ramirez, who remains in custody on a parole hold, is a suspect in the March 31 beating of Bryan Stow, who remains hospitalized in San Francisco. Ramirez's attorney says his client was never at the Dodgers game where Stow was attacked. • Attorney Thomas Giardi, who represents the Stow family in the lawsuit, told KNTV that Barry Bonds had donated money for a college fund for Stow's two young children. • KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Paul Splittorff, the big, blonde left-hander who became the winningest pitcher in Kansas City Royals history and a popular broadcaster for the team, died of complications from skin cancer. He was 64. The Royals said Splittorff died at his home in the Kansas City suburb of Blue Springs. His family announced 10 days ago that he had been battling melanoma and oral cancer. Splittorff spent his entire 15-year career in Kansas City. A tall, bespec-
WOBURN, Mass. — The brother of figure skater Nancy Kerrigan was acquitted of manslaughter in the death of their 70-year-old father by a jury that apparently agreed with his defense that the elder man died of heart disease, not from a scuffle between the two. Mark Kerrigan, 46, was convicted, though, of a misdemeanor assault and battery charge in a January 2010 altercation with Daniel Kerrigan at the family's home in Stoneham, Mass. Nancy Kerrigan and her mother, Brenda, embraced and cried after the verdict was read. NEW YORK— North Carolina basketball player Jessica Breland has won the Honda Inspiration Award after returning to the court following treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma. Breland was diagnosed with the disease in May 2009 and received chemotherapy. She sat out a year and returned to basketball this season. She averaged 19.5 points and 6.8 rebounds in the ACC tournament. Despite six months of cancer treatment, Breland attended classes and kept up at least a 3.0 GPA in her last four semesters to earn a spot on the ACC honor roll. Breland was a second-round pick in the WNBA draft last month and is trying to make the roster of the New York Liberty.

The French Open is the one major title Sharapova doesn’t own, but she and Svetlana Kuznetsova are the only women with multiple Grand Slam trophies who are still around. That’s because the Williams sisters didn’t enter the French Open — and because Clijsters already is unexpectedly headed home. Rafael Nadal, the five-time French Open champion wasn’t forced to work nearly as hard as he did in getting past
John Isner in five sets Tuesday, but Nadal was hardly satisfied after beating 48th-ranked Pablo Andujar of Spain 7-5, 6-3, 7-6 (4). “I am not playing that well,” said Nadal, who has spent 7 hours, 19 minutes on court. “I am not happy, but I am here.” Also reaching the third round were past Grand Slam finalists Robin Soderling and Andy Murray, along with No. 10 Mardy Fish, the last U.S. man in the field. Six seeded men lost: No. 8 Jurgen Melzer of Austria, No. 20 Florian Mayer of Germany, No. 24 Sam Querrey of the U.S., No. 27 Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus, No. 28 Nikolay Davydenko of Russia and No. 32 Kevin Anderson of South Africa.

Would you let a fox guard your hen house? Some legislators in Raleigh seem to think it would be a good idea when it comes to your right to know what the city or county is up to. House Bill 472 would allow town officials to avoid putting a public notice in the place where citizens know to find them, in the local newspaper. Zoning hearings. Changes in city ordinances. Bids on public projects. When government only has to let you know about these by putting items on its own website, without the independent verification of the newspaper, your rights are put in jeopardy. Officials could simply say, “TRUST US, we placed a notice on our website. Sorry if you didn’t see it when it was online.”
Call or email your legislators today! Tell them you want notices in your local newspaper! Vote NO on H.B. 472!
If you are uncertain who your legislator is, go to www.ncpress.com for a link to discover who represents you.

Low-platelet count concerns reader
Should you leap, or bide your time? BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
In “The Exploits and Adventures of Miss Alethea Darcy,” Elizabeth Aston wrote: “You can’t jump down the stairs in one leap, however much you might wish to, and you even more surely can’t jump up it, but one step and then the next and there you are, at the top or the bottom and not a bit out of breath or discomposed.” At the bridge table, even in the declarer play, you must sometimes leap — take positive action — and sometimes bide your time. In today’s deal, how should South play in four hearts after West leads the diamond jack? North’s raise to three hearts indicated some 4-7 high-card points. South settled for game because he had a minimum two-club opening. When the deal was originally played, declarer leapt, covering West’s diamond jack with dummy’s queen. But East won with his ace and shifted to the club queen. The defenders col-
lected one spade, one diamond and two clubs for down one. Yes, South was unlucky that both aces were badly placed, but he could have made his contract with a delaying play. At trick one, he should have called for dummy’s low diamond. What would East have done? If he had overtaken with his ace and switched to the club queen, declarer would have won two spades, six hearts and two diamonds. If East had ducked, South would have ruffed East’s diamond ace at trick two, drawn trumps ending in the dummy, and discarded a club loser on the established diamond winner to lose only one spade, one diamond and one club.
Dear Dr. Gott: I read your column in the Shelby (Ohio) Daily Globe and do appreciate the sage advice you give on health matters. I’m a 73-year-old female who is in seemingly good health. I’m active and do not take any medications except for an occasional sip of Mylanta when I indulge in spicy foods. I see my VA doctor twice a year for a checkup, and she always orders a blood draw — usually a CBC. Mostly, it is normal and agrees with the ranges. However, my platelet count DR. PETER has run low for years. GOTT This month it is 137, and monos (whatever that is) were 9.4, which is on the high side. What does it mean? My doctor does not seem too concerned about it, and I do not wish to take medication if it can be avoided. I feel great, although I do feel tired at the end of the day after taking care of my house and yard. But isn’t it normal to be tired after a day of activity? My HGB fluctuates from 12.5 to 13.1, and my iron count has been low a time or two, but I’m mostly concerned about the low platelet count that has been going on for years. I have no problems with bleeding when I cut myself. I try to consume a fair diet without too many sweets and starches. I eat vegeta-
bles and salads and love fruit. I do not smoke or drink other than to have an occasional glass of wine with dinner. I don’t eat out much. My weight stays around 120 pounds, and I’m 5 feet tall. Dear Reader: CBC is an abbreviation of a complete blood count. It can determine the number of white and red blood cells you have, your total hemoglobin (HGB), the fraction of blood that composes red blood cells (your hematocrit or HCT) and a great deal more. While relatively similar, lab values can vary between facilities. For example, you indicate your platelet count has run low for years, with the current reading being 137. At my local hospital lab, the range of “normal” is anything between 130 and 400. If you were tested here, you would be considered on the low side of normal, but normal nonetheless. Your monos
(standing for monocytes) are slightly high at 9.4. Monos play many roles in the immune system. Readings can indicate something or nothing at all, although a high count usually indicates infection, a response to stress, inflammation and a great deal more. Because I don’t have your complete report, I am unable to guess at what, if anything, your physician might be testing you for twice each year, but my guess is that she would follow up vigorously if she suspected anything wrong. Be sure to ask her during your next appointment. In the interim, enjoy your good health, eat well, and keep as active as possible. This regimen has obviously kept you on the right track thus far. On to your last concern: It’s a big responsibility to care for a home or apartment and normal to feel fatigued

Gordon donates money
gas.” “We as drivers aren’t necessarily wired the same,” he said. “It’s tempting, especially when we have the skill sets that we do as drivers and you get a high performance car and you just want to see how it stacks up. I guess everybody that has a high performance car stands on the throttle at some point. “I’m not trying to justify what he did, but we can all look at ourselves in the mirror and know that we’ve wondered what it felt like to stand on the gas pedal.” But Kevin Harvick, who has been openly feuding with Busch of late, and Ryan Newman were not as forgiving. “I think some people are their own worst enemy when it comes to being responsible as a person or as a businessperson or anything that comes with life’s responsibilities,” said Harvick, who added he tends to go under the speed limit and hasn’t driven irresponsibly in a street car since he was 16. Newman said Busch should have known better. “We’re supposed to be professional race car drivers and by being professional race car drivers we don’t make stupid mistakes like that on the road,” Newman said. “That’s the way I look at it.” Gibbs seemed dismayed that all the progress Busch has made off the track has been overshadowed by the speeding ticket. Busch, winner of two races this season, is ranked third in the Sprint Cup standings heading into Sunday’s CocaCola 600 in what’s yet another strong season for the 26-year-old. But much of the spotlight has been in the maturity he’s shown this year in dealing with adversity. That hadn’t changed Thursday, as Busch answered all the questions asked of him, but he stayed on message with buzz words such as “apologize,” “lack of judgment,” and “learning experience.” “The way he’s handled things for that last year, I kind of felt like he’s really made a great effort,” Gibbs said. “Having said that, I’m hoping that somehow out of this, something positive will come out of it. In other words, it may be there are different organizations that reach out to young people driving, reckless driving. “For me and for all of us at Joe Gibbs, Racing, I’m hoping there’s something that maybe I can do going forward to make it, hopefully, something positive.” Kurt Busch, who was cited for reckless driving in 2005 outside of Phoenix International Raceway, said his younger brother had learned his lesson. “All of us drivers have a responsibility with being role models for what we can teach our young out on the roadways,” he said. “There are posted speed limits, there are rules, there’s laws. It’s what we have to do. He knows he was in the wrong. “Whatever comes of it, he’s got his court date and things will be ironed out, he’ll learn from this situation and he’ll be a better person.”
BUSCH FROM 1B “There’s probably reason why on the TV commercials that they always show at the bottom, ‘Professional driver, closed course.’ Mine was not that. Again, I apologize sincerely. All I can do is make sure it doesn’t happen again.” Lexus parent company Toyota sponsors the Joe Gibbs Racing team that Busch drives for, and the 2012 Lexus LFA was loaned to both Busch and Denny Hamlin this week. Hamlin tweeted a picture of the car the day before Busch was ticketed with the post, “If u see me today in ur rear view driving this Please move!!” The LFA is hand-built in Japan, and only 87 of the 500 scheduled vehicles have been built. Of the 87 completed, only 20 are in the United States and all are privately owned. Lexus has two cars available as demos, and Busch was driving one of them. The cars are usually made available to potential buyers at test tracks on weekends, but that did not accommodate Busch and Hamlin’s schedules so one was made available to them, said Lexus spokesperson Nancy Hubbell. “He returned the car, nobody got hurt and for that we’re grateful,” Hubbell said. “We know that he is definitely remorseful. He’s owned up to it, and we appreciate that. I think people recognize that this was an issue that the car didn’t go fast all by itself, and the driver was testing its capabilities.” NASCAR team owner Joe Gibbs found no amusement in Busch’s adventure. “It’s a serious issue, that’s an important statement for us, this is serious,” Gibbs said, declining to say if Busch will be punished but acknowledging the driver won’t be suspended. Because NASCAR does not require competitors to have a valid driver’s license, the sanctioning body said it would not be disciplining Busch. According to information from the N.C. Department of Motor Vehicles, a conviction could cost Busch his driver’s license for 60 days. There was mixed reaction in the garage area Thursday about Busch’s infraction. “I’ve probably been guilty of the same thing myself, just didn’t get caught,” said Dale Earnhardt Jr., who then backed off ever driving 128 mph on a public road. “I don’t really know if I got that fast. I didn’t know we had enough straight road in North Carolina to get going that quick. Apparently there’s a piece somewhere.” Five-time defending champion Jimmie Johnson was also sympathetic to Busch. While not condoning the speed, Johnson said high performance vehicles are built for drivers who “stand on the

Bayne talks about illness Associated Press
CONCORD — Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne may never learn what caused the illness that has sidelined him the past five weeks. An insect bite initially caused Bayne to seek treatment after he experienced numbness in his arm during an April race at Texas. He thought everything was fine after, then woke up with double vision two days after the April 17 race at Talladega. Roush Fenway Racing sent him to the Mayo Clinic, where he spent a week undergoing tests to determine what was causing his symptoms. “I think I finally just had to accept that nobody knows,” Bayne said Thursday. “I still don’t have an official diagnosis, but they treated everything they thought it could be and since then everything has gone away. To me, they hit something.” Bayne said he went through a series of MRI’s, a spinal tap, and at one point had 16 needles in him at the same time. But nobody could pin down what he did have. In the end, doctors simply said he suffered from an inflammatory condition. “It is not anything terminal or anything like that,” Bayne said. “I heard somebody say cancer and leukemia and those things, but that is not even a word that I heard in the hospital. That was not even an option. They have ruled out all those things.” Bayne believes he could have
simply been worn down from the whirlwind month he experienced after becoming the youngest winner in Daytona 500 history. The 20-year-old was the surprise winner of this year’s season-opening race, and the media attention on the fresh-faced Bayne had him flying all over the country for appearances. “It could be just a series of events where you get a bug bite and your immune system is down and we had been running for a couple months hard every day after Daytona and it wears down your immune system,” Bayne said. “That is what I am hoping for. Whether that is it or not, only time will tell with that.” Bayne said his symptoms have cleared up and he could have raced this weekend at Charlotte. But he’ll now return for next weekend’s Nationwide Series at Chicagoland Speedway. His next Sprint Cup race will be next month at Michigan for the Wood Brothers. RFR is using Matt Kenseth as Bayne’s replacement for the Nationwide race Saturday. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. will try to make his Cup debut for the Wood Brothers in Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600. “That was a no-brainer with Trevor and Ricky being best friends,” team owner Eddie Wood said. “Trevor is going to help him with the transition because he went through the same thing at Texas last fall of having to make the show and Ricky will have to make the show as well.”

that. We’ve just been talking about it, hopefully, I don’t think we’ll have any trouble working things out.” Earnhardt’s 10-year exemption into the All-Star field for winning the nonpoints event in 2000 ended this year. He raced in the preliminary Sprint Showdown, where the top two finishers qualified for the big race, but finished sixth. It didn’t matter, as a majority of the record 2.4 million votes gave Earnhardt the final spot in the 21-car field. “I know my fans worked pretty hard, and it meant a lot to them,” Earnhardt said. “I appreciate the help.”

CONCORD — Jeff Gordon's charitable foundation has committed to donate $1.5 million over three years to help children fight cancer in Africa. The Jeff Gordon Children's Foundation announced this week it will team up with Partners in Health and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute to develop a comprehensive program in Rwanda. The funding will help with prevention, diagnosis, chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and follow-up care for kids in one of Africa's most densely populated country. The four-time Cup series champion formed his foundation in 1999 to support children fighting cancer. The foundation also helps fund the Jeff Gordon Children's Hospital in Charlotte.
Severe storms will transition to the East Coast from the Midwest on Friday. Meanwhile, another system moving off the Rockies brings thunderstorms to the Northern High Plains. Starting in the East, a low pressure system and associated cold front that brought many tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds to the Central Plains and Midwest will move over the East Coast. As this system pulls in additional moisture and energy from the Atlantic Ocean, it will allow for storms to develop across the Mid-Atlantic and Gulf states. A stationary front also extends northeastward from this low pressure system, kicking up severe storms over the Northeast. Thus, most of the East Coast has been placed under a slight to moderate risk for severe storm development. Expect large hail, damaging winds, heavy downpours, and possibly some tornadoes. Behind this system in the Plains, a low pressure system that brought rain and thunderstorms to the Pacific Northwest and northern California will continue making its way over the Northern Rockies and into the Northern Plains. This system will push a front into the Dakotas, which will have sufficient energy to produce scattered showers and thunderstorms. There is a slight chance that these storms will turn severe. By evening, the cold front will move into the Upper Plains and extend into the Central Plains. The tail end of this system may produce heavier showers and stronger storms as it obtains additional moisture and energy from the Gulf of Mexico. Meanwhile, high pressure over the Southwest will create another warm and dry day. Fires will remain of concern across the Southwest as humidity drops and surface winds remain strong with gusts up to 35 mph.
