n harness, Debbie struts smartly down the lane heading to Rimer Road. She’ll have to lead Freda Horne, her owner and constant companion, to the mailbox on the other side. Motorists going by aren’t exactly looking for a visually impaired woman and her guide dog on this stretch of country road in eastern Rowan County, so they drive pretty fast. The dog-woman team walk across without difficulty, and Horne fishes the mail out of the box. Before heading back, Horne listens for cars and hears two vehicles approaching from the direction of Castor Road. So she waits as they fly by. Had MARK she not heard them, Horne WINEKA says later in the front yard, Debbie would have blocked her path. That’s what her training as a guide dog has taught her. “I can’t imagine life without her,” Horne says of the 2-year-old yellow Labrador. Debbie and Horne first met each other almost two months ago at the Guiding Eyes for the Blind campus in Yorktown Heights, N.Y. It was the third day of the 26-day school, and at that first meeting, they were left alone together in Horne’s bedroom. Things didn’t go well. Debbie wanted nothing to do with Freda and kept pulling on her leash while scrambling toward the
door. Horne cried on the side of her bed for more than an hour. “She didn’t like me,” Horne says. The trainer eventually came in to reassure her. “These dogs are more stressed than you are,” he said. “Don’t worry about it.” Horne eventually walked with Debbie outside, and that seemed to ease the dog’s anxiety. She then fed Debbie and made sure she had enough water before taking her out again, where the dog did her “busy, busy.” Debbie soon gave Freda one of those looks of affection that even a visually impaired person can’t mistake, and the new team had bonded. “That was it,” Horne says. They were inseparable the next 23 days as they ate, worked, played and slept side by side. Debbie already had learned the commands and responsibilities of a guide dog before meeting Horne. “I was the one who had to be trained at the school,” Freda explains. Guiding Eyes matched Debbie up with Horne, who recently completed training in New Horne because the dog’s personality York, gets her mail with the help of Debbie. seemed a good fit with Freda’s family and lifestyle.

Gas prices down as travelers hit the highways Staff reports
Good weather, lower gas prices and falling unemployment are encouraging more people to hit the road this Memorial Day weekend, according to AAA Carolinas. AAA estimates the “trifecta of good news,” as the motor club calls it, will draw 775,000 North Carolina motorists to travel this weekend, a 3 percent increase over last year.

The N.C. Court of Appeals has upheld the conviction of a Salisbury man charged with rape and sentenced to 110 years in jail. Glorbman Brown, 40, was convicted in March 2009 for first-degree rape of a child and first-degree sexual offense with the child who was under 12 years old at the time. The incidents occurred in 2002-2003. Brown’s attorney had appealed the conviction to the N.C. Court Appeals, claiming the state should not have allowed prejudicial testimony — evidence of the defendant’s refusal to allow testing and profanity used to officers. The attorney also claimed the court should have declared a mistrial due to a BROWN jury issue. Earlier this month, the N.C. Court of Appeals upheld the conviction, finding no errors in the trial. Assistant District Attorney Karen Biernacki prosecuted the case. Spencer Police conducted the investigation after the child told her father’s girlfriend of the rapes. The child was checked at the Child Advocacy Center at Carolinas Medical Center-NorthEast in Concord. The child was diagnosed with chlamydia and doctors found evidence of sexual activity. Law enforcement obtained a court order to have Glorbman tested, taking him to LabCorp, where he refused to have his blood drawn. Later, he had his blood tested on the advice of his attorney and it was positive for chlamydia. He was treated for chlamydia and other sexually transmitted diseases while in the Rowan County Detention Center. The records of the testing and treatment were introduced in the trial. During the jury phase of the trial, one juror asked to be excused after deliberations began. She advised the court she was not being treated with respect and was being ridiculed for her opinions. Judge John Holshouser sent the jurors home for the day, urging everyone to calm down and start fresh the next day. Jurors returned and completed their work, returning some guilty and some not guilty verdicts. Holshouser consolidated six felonies into three consecutive sentences with a total of 90 to 110 years. When the case was tried in Rowan County Superior Court last year, it was the oldest case in the court system. Brown is currently in the Marion Correctional facility after a stay in Central Prison. His projected release date is June 5, 2094.

House education panel’s budget plan would keep more teachers on job RALEIGH (AP) — More public school teachers would be protected from layoffs and the University of North Carolina system would take a bigger financial hit under a House budget plan approved Thursday by a key committee that diverges from a spending proposal offers by the Senate. The education subcommittee, which proposes spending for more than half of the state’s budget, would use $90 million in North Carolina Education Lottery profits beyond what the Senate recommended in the budget it approved last week to hire teachers to reduce class sizes in early grades. The lottery money, most of which would come from reserves and $73
million in higher-than-anticipated net revenues for the next fiscal year, would prevent an additional 1,635 teaching and teaching assistant positions from being eliminated statewide, said Rep. Rick Glazier, D-Cumberland, the education subcommittee’s co-chairman. The public schools “should be in a position where there should not be any additional classroom personnel that will lose their jobs” from any additional cuts, Glazier said. “We have strived to reduce every potential area where instructional personnel would have to be cut.” The $10.7 billion education plan, which will be incorporated into the full $18.9 billion spending proposal expected to be debated by the full

stock after having earlier sold borrowed shares in a bet that the market would fall. Though it’s difficult to determine how much lift short-covering might be giving stocks, the rush to cover misplaced bets can add to a rally. The steep gains Thursday were welcome after the Dow dropped eight of the prior 10 days. Twice this week, stocks have climbed for much of the day only to see the advances erased in late slides. The Dow rose 135 points Wednesday morning, but ended the day down about 69. The euro, which is seen as an indicator for confidence in the health of Europe’s economy, rose to $1.2358 Thursday a day after nearing the fouryear low it hit last week. The Dow rose 284.54, or 2.9 percent, to 10,258.99. It was the biggest gain for the Dow since it soared 405 points on May 10. The climb vaulted the Dow back above 10,000. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 35.11, or 3.3 percent, to 1,103.06. The Nasdaq composite index climbed 81.80, or 3.7 percent, to 2,277.68, putting it back in the black for 2010.
N.C., Va. looking into adding tolls on I-95 RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — As Virginia attempts to levy tolls on Interstate 95 at the North Carolina line, North Carolina is studying whether to do the same thing south of the border, Gov. Bob McDonnell said Thursday. McDonnell said on his monthly radio program that he still backs the idea of tolling inbound lanes of I-95 at Virginia’s southern boundary. North Carolina is conducting a two-year study into the needs of the 182-mile stretch of I-95 between the Virginia
and South Carolina lines, and how to pay for them. McDonnell proposed tolling northbound lanes of that interstate highway and I85 where they enter Virginia from North Carolina starting last year when he was running for governor. McDonnell repeated his refusal to consider a general increase in state taxes, particularly gasoline taxes. Tolling existing interstates, in either state, solely as a revenue source would require federal approval.

“In all of our previous analyses, we never imagined that reductions would reach this level,” Bowles said in a statement. “This level of cuts would force us to reduce the numbers of students that we can accept on our campuses. Our current students would find themselves in far larger classes and would find that courses they need for graduation are no longer offered or are only offered sporadically.” Glazier pointed out a study that showed North Carolina ranks second among states in spending on higher education as a percentage of personal income. Overall, the House would cut the state budget for the UNC system already in place for the coming year
by 3.4 percent. The Senate’s budget kept funding for UNC flat. The differences are some of what sets the stage for weeks of negotiations between the two chambers as they try to work out a compromise budget agreement to present to Gov. Beverly Perdue before July 1. The full House will vote on its budget by the end of next week. Perdue has raised worries that fellow Democrats in the Legislature are using lottery money to make up for dwindling tax revenues — the state is facing an $800 million revenue shortfall next year. Local school districts say the $225 million in cuts the state directed them to make during the past year led to more than 5,000 job losses.

Stocks jump after China shows confidence in Europe NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks had another turnaround Thursday and rocketed higher after China reassured investors it doesn’t plan to sell the European debt it holds. The Dow Jones industrial average surged nearly 285 points. Treasury prices tumbled as traders funneled money into riskier assets like stocks and commodities. China’s show of confidence in Europe let the market resume a rally that stalled late Wednesday following a report that the Chinese government was considering cutting its European debt holdings. If that were true, such a move would have signaled that China didn’t think Europe would be able to contain its debt crisis. The agency that manages China’s $2.5 trillion in foreign reserves denied the report. Analysts also said some bounce has been expected after the slide that drove the Dow down 11 percent from its 2010 peak a month ago. Traders cautioned that this might not be a rally but merely a break in selling. Some of the climb could be tied to what’s called “shortcovering.” That occurs when traders are forced to buy
House Appropriations Committee next week, requires UNC campuses and administration to find $239 million in spending cuts for the coming school year. The UNC reductions, which the campuses can decide how to make, are $139 million more than the amount the Legislature had already directed the system to cut for the year starting July 1 in the two-year spending plan approved last summer. The Senate budget approved last week only sought $50 million more in reductions, or a total of $150 million. UNC system President Erskine Bowles said the cuts would result in the loss of 1,700 jobs and could lead the 17 campuses to limit enrollment.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House on Thursday delivered a victory to President Barack Obama and gay rights groups by approving a proposal to repeal the law that allows gays to serve in the military only if they don’t disclose their sexual orientation. The 234-194 vote to overturn the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy reflected a view among many in Congress that America was ready for a military in which gays and straights can stand side by side in the trenches. “I know that our military draws its strength on the integrity of our unified force, and current law challenges this integrity by creating two realities within the ranks,” Rep. Susan Davis, D-Calif., said. Republicans, who voted overwhelmingly against it, cited statements by some military leaders that they need more time to study how a change in the law could affect the lives and readiness of service members. The House vote came just hours after the Senate Armed Services Committee voted 16-12 in favor of repealing the 1993 law. Supporters stressed that the amendment was written so it would not go into effect until after the Pentagon publishes in December the results of a survey on how service members and their families view the change, and until the president, the defense secretary and the Joint Chiefs of Staff certify that the repeal will not affect the military’s ability to fight. The drive to repeal the ban still faces a tough road ahead in the full Senate, where Republicans are likely to filibuster it.
New Yorker who aided Peru rebel freed after 15 years LIMA, Peru (AP) — Activist Lori Berenson walked out of prison smiling Thursday but got a chilly reception from her new neighbors after serving three-quarters of a 20-year sentence for aiding leftist rebels. Now 40, the New Yorker spent more than a third of her life behind bars — getting married, giving birth, undergoing back surgery — but never denouncing the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement she was convicted of abetting. When she was arrested in 1995 with the wife of the group’s leader, prosecutors said Berenson was helping plot a takeover of Peru’s Congress. The following month, police found a forged ID card bearing her photo in a raid on a rebel safe house. But Berenson apparently became less strident over the years, many of them spent in frigid prisons in the high Andes. Documents her defense team provided to the judge who granted her parole Tuesday said Berenson had “recognized she committed errors” getting involved with the rebels.

S. Korea anti-submarine drills ‘Diff’rent Strokes’ star Gary come as North scraps accord Coleman in critical condition SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Military tension on the Korean peninsula rose after North Korea threatened to attack any South Korean ships entering its waters and Seoul held anti-submarine drills in response to the March sinking of a navy vessel blamed on Pyongyang. Separately, the chief U.S. military commander in South Korea criticized the North over the sinking of the South Korean warship Cheonan in which 46 sailors died, telling the communist country to stop its aggressive actions. North Korean reaction was swift. The military declared it would scrap accords with the South designed to prevent armed clashes at their maritime border, including the cutting of a military hot line, and warned of “prompt physical strikes” if any South Korean ships enter what the North says are its waters in a disputed area. North Korea has denied attacking the ship, which sank near disputed western waters where the Koreas have fought three bloody sea battles since 1999.
Mother convicted over Facebook spat with son
Police say 73 killed during Jamaica’s hunt for drug lord
ARKADELPHIA, Ark. (AP) — An woman who locked her son out of his Facebook account and posted her own items there was convicted of misdemeanor harassment and ordered not to have contact with the teenager. Clark County District Judge Randy Hill ordered Denise New to pay a $435 fine and complete anger-management and parenting classes. He said he would consider allowing her to see her 17-yearold son, Lane New, who lives with his grandmother, if she takes the courses. The mother and son testified they once had a good relationship but it began to deteriorate this spring. The Facebook postings arose when the boy declined to return a key to her home. She then refused to let him into the house. The judge also criticized the mother for using vulgarities in her messages.
KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — Jamaican security forces kicked down doors and arrested dozens of residents of a bullet-pocked slum on Thursday, and said the death toll from four days of fighting sparked by the search for a reputed drug lord has risen to 73. The target of the manhunt, Christopher “Dudus” Coke, hasn’t been found. “We are still searching for Mr. Coke,” said Deputy Police Chief Glenmore Hinds. “Certainly we can’t disclose where we are looking.” Hinds said police and soldiers have found 73 bodies, three of which were killed in incidents not related to the raid. “The 73 bodies we’re speaking about are all civilians,” Hinds said. “But civilians are sometimes gunmen and gunwomen.”
Oldest Medal of Honor recipient from WWII dies SAN DIEGO (AP) — Retired Navy Lt. John Finn — the first American to receive the nation’s highest military award for defending sailors under a torrent of gunfire during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor — died Thursday at age 100. Finn was the oldest of 97 Medal of Honor recipients from World War II still living. He died at a nursing home for veterans in Chula Vista, outside San Diego, according to a Navy statement. Despite head wounds and other injuries, Finn, the chief of ordnance for an air squadron, continuously fired a .50-caliber machine gun at Kaneohe Bay in Oahu. Finn, who enlisted in the Navy just before his 17th birthday, received the Medal of Honor on Sept. 15, 1942.

Salisbury mayor travels to Raleigh to sway lawmakers B Y E LIZABETH C OOK
ecook@salisburypost.com
Salisbury Mayor Susan Kluttz traveled to Raleigh Wednesday to fight a bill that failed to make a promised exception for the city’s Fibrant broadband system. By the time she got to the Legislative Building, though, Sen. David Hoyle, D-Gaston, had pulled the bill from the Senate Finance Committee’s agenda, saying he would try to come up with a compromise. Anything less than freedom for cities to run their own fiber-optic systems will likely face a fight — a fight the cities must win, Kluttz says. Salisbury has already invested in its system, she says. “It’s not fair to change the rules on us.” Hoyle’s bill would force municipalities to get voter approval before borrowing money to build a competing broadband network. Salisbury has already borrowed $30 million to build its Fibrant fiber-optic network, which it will begin testing in a few months. Even if the bill included an exception for Salisbury, Kluttz says the requirement to get voter approval would hurt other cities and send the message that North Carolina is behind the times. “It would cripple all of us,” she said. Some three dozen N.C. municipalities have applied to be part of Google’s proposed fiber-optic network. The legislation would dash those hopes. It might also prevent the cities’ potential customers from getting the kind of reasonably priced, super-fast Internet service municipal officials say attracts high-tech industries — the kind of service telecom companies don’t offer in most areas. The Greenlight fiber-optic system owned by the city of Wilson boasts of the fastest residential Internet speed in North Carolina: 100 megabits per second, compared to 15 megabits offered to Time Warner residential customers in Wilson. The Wilson system, for which that city borrowed $28 million without a referendum, has nearly 5,000 customers for the cable, phone and Internet service it began offering in 2008. Recently the Independent Weekly of Durham reported on its website that Greenlight’s impact goes beyond its own customers. “Time Warner customers in Wilson are benefiting from Greenlight's competition,” Indy.com reported. “... Time Warner raised its prices for basic service in the Triangle— as much as 52 percent in Cary — but did not impose any rate hike in Wilson. Nor did the company increase prices in Wilson for the digital sports and games tier, while Triangle customers paid 41 percent more.” Hoyle’s bill is the latest in a series of efforts by telecom corporations to keep local governments out of the broadband business. “This is another iteration of the previous ones we have seen over the last three years that are designed to contain and cripple existing systems, and set the bar so high for new systems that it would be difficult for communities to move forward,” Doug Paris, Salisbury assistant city manager, told the Associated Press. Lining up against the telecom companies are the N.C. League of Municipalities and corporate giants Google and Intel. They argue that crimping municipal broadband could stifle economic growth in a wired age. Cable and phone companies have been urging the General Assembly to restrict municipal broadband services since a 2005 state appeals court ruling upheld the right

Officer who shot pit bull didn’t violate law BY EMILY FORD
eford@salisburypost.com
CONCORD — The Cabarrus County Animal Control officer who shot and killed a family’s pit bull last month did not violate the state’s animal cruelty law or the county’s animal control ordinance, the county attorney said. During a one-hour news conference Thursday, Rich Koch released his 10-page report on the shooting death of “Bella” the pit bull. Bella’s owners and their supporters attended the conference and occasionally reacted with disbelief as Koch and Jay White, chairman of the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners, summarized the findings. “There certainly in this case is uncontradicted evidence that the two dogs, Bella and Jaxson, were aggressive in their behavior towards Ms. Rhonda Wall in her own backyard,” Koch said. The dogs escaped through a hole in their fence while owners Jessica Juba and Jeff Daniels were out to eat. The owners said that they did not know the fence had a hole in it. Koch hired Salisbury private investigator Bill Dover to conduct an independent review of events leading up to the April 29 death of Bella. County commissioners asked for the investigation after receiving hundreds of phone calls and e-mails from concerned citizens. While Bella’s death was unfortunate and animal control officers need more options and additional technology when trying to contain loose dogs, Deputy Sean Austin did not break the law when he shot the dog, Koch said. “That action, in the context of all that occurred...was within the proper ambit of the animal control ordinance of this county,” he said. Austin was not trained to carry a tranquil-

Koch said media accounts have not told the whole story. The pit bulls entered the backyard of Wall, who Koch and White described as an elderly neighbor caring for an 8-year-old boy. The dogs threatened them, Koch said. “They were backed up against the fence in a menacing manner,” he said. “That started the chain of events involving law enforcement officers which unfortunately led to Bella being shot.” Wall used a cell phone to call an off-duty
sheriff’s deputy who lived nearby and she responded with her service revolver out and at her side. The deputy called 911. Several law enforcement officers arrived, and eventually, after officers and neighbors tried to capture Bella, Austin shot the dog as it ran away from him. Jaxson jumped into a patrol car and was not injured. The owners, who said they have multiple witnesses who state the dogs were not aggres-

Salisbury-Rowan Reads kicks off July 14 at public library B Y S HELLEY S MITH
ssmith@salisburypost.com
Salisbury and Rowan County have partnered for a second year of Salisbury-Rowan Reads, and the kickoff is July 14 at the Rowan Public Library in Salisbury. Salisbury-Rowan Reads is a five-week summer program that offers any child a free book at each of the five events, to promote reading to children and to encourage children to sign up for a free library card. Not only will children receive a free book, but they will get the chance to hear a book being read by a mayor, council member, firefighter, police officer, commissioner, town manager or school official. Storyteller Obakunle Akinlana will also be performing.
Informational booths and free giveaways will also be at each event, including free refreshments, door prizes, recreational games, and police, fire and recycling trucks for children to explore. Children will also be able to enter a drawing for a Nintendo Wii. A Wii will be given away at each event. The events are free, funded by the city of Salisbury and Rowan County. Municipality leaders chose to join together for this year’s program, and it is expected to be bigger and better than last year’s. “The city of Salisbury is proud to once again partner with Rowan County to fund this program as together we promote reading to children,” Salisbury Mayor Susan Kluttz said. “A love for reading is tru-
ly one of the greatest gifts a child can receive. “Reading to a child strengthens the emotional bond between a parent and child and allows children to learn more about the world in which we live.” Salisbury-Rowan Reads will be every Wednesday evening from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. from July 14 through Aug. 11. The schedule follows: • July 14, Rowan Public Library, 201 W. Fisher St., Salisbury • July 21, East Branch of the Rowan Public Library, 110 Broad St., Rockwell • July 28, Spencer Library Park, Fourth Street, Spencer • Aug. 4, Frank T. Tadlock South Branch of the Rowan Public Library, 920 Kimball Rd., China Grove
• Aug. 11, Cleveland Elementary School, 107 School St., Cleveland. Municipalities participating include Salisbury, China Grove, Cleveland, East Spencer, Spencer, Faith, Granite Quarry, Landis, Rockwell and Rowan County. Children participating who already have a library card are asked to bring their card with them to ease the registration process. If a child does not have a library card, they will be able to sign up for one at each event. Each elementary and middle school student will receive an informational flyer in the last two weeks of school, with more information on the program. Rowan-Salisbury Schools and the Rowan Public Library also support the program, and will be participating.

“This is another iteration of the previous ones we have seen over the last three years that are designed to contain and cripple existing systems, and set the bar so high for new systems that it would be difficult for communities to move forward.” DOUG PARIS
Salisbury Assistant Manager
BROADBAND FROM 3A
of towns and cities to offer their residents broadband. Companies argue that local governments have an unfair advantage because they don’t have to pay taxes and can subsidize their rates, undercutting the corporate competitors. The bill’s sponsor, Hoyle, said tax-free government enterprises shouldn’t be competing with business, but a compromise with municipalities is being negotiated. Hoyle wants to save cities from themselves, he has said. Adding broadband to the range of city utility services could lead to financial losses for the municipalities. “They’re going to own a cable system that may become obsolete and they’re going to say to us (legislators), ‘Please save us,”’ Hoyle said. He pointed to news earlier this month that residents of Davidson and Mooresville face a projected $6.4 million revenue shortfall at the local cable system the cities bought in 2007. The towns spent $92 million to buy and upgrade the lines for MI-Connection. The resulting service offers cable TV, telephone and In-
ternet to about 15,000 customers, but it has struggled to hold on to them. The North Carolina conflict is playing out amid a national push to extend broadband to corners of the country that private enterprise hasn’t reached. Congress included $7.2 billion in last year’s stimulus bill to expand broadband to overlooked parts of the country. The new networks promise to offer speeds 20 to 2,000 times faster than the data lines now reaching into most American homes. A North Carolina nonprofit in January received more than $28 million in federal stimulus funds to extend the state’s broadband Internet network by nearly 500 miles in 37 underserved southeastern and western counties. The state is seeking another $78 million to extend about 1,500 miles of broadband fiber in 67 counties lagging in highspeed Internet capability. So the push for broadband services is on, yet Hoyle and the telecoms appear to want to hold cities back. Kluttz expects to return to Raleigh next week to continue resisting those efforts. “It’s just incredible to me that we are still fighting this,” she said. The Associated Press contributed to this story.

Ingram Motorsports robbed A break-in at a business off Webb Road turned into a robbery at gunpoint. The robbery occurred shortly before 9 a.m. Tuesday at Ingram Motorsports, 350 Auction Drive, off Webb Road near I-85. Deputy M.L. Shrewsbury of the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office responded to the report of a break-in. Frederick Andrew Hedgepath, an employee, told the deputy he was sleeping in the back of the business when he heard breaking glass. Hedgepath said when he went into the front area, he was confronted by two men. One was wearing some type of white cloth over his face and carrying a gun. Hedgepath tried to run through the back of the area but was forced at gunpoint to
lie on the floor, while the second man rummaged through the business taking items including a computer and digital cameras. Once the men left, Hedgepath immediately called 911. Deputies found blood in the broken glass indicating that one or perhaps both of the men had cut themselves getting through the window. The value of items taken was put at $1,622. The store owner had installed metal bars on most of the windows in the business. Capt. John Sifford said the bars for the window that was broken into were by the wall but had not been installed. Sifford said Hedgepath was unable to provide a description of the men.

Rushco clerk robbed at knifepoint A convenience store clerk was robbed at knifepoint early Thursday. Two men got away with an undisclosed amount of cash. The incident occurred around 3 a.m. at Rushco No. 16 at 1518 E. Innes St. Deputy Chief Steve Whitley of the Salisbury Police said the clerk said two men were involved in the robbery. One stayed near the door, apparently as a lookout, and the second came up to her and pulled a Gerber pocket knife, demanding she open the cash door. She opened the drawer and the man grabbed the cash and both left on foot headed toward the Stokes Ferry and Newsome roads area.
Whitley said police saturated the area but weren’t able to find the men. The clerk was not injured. No description of the men was immediately available.

sive, said they were disappointed but not surprised to hear Koch’s findings and plan to file a lawsuit. They said the investigation was not complete and left out details such as why the dog’s body was destroyed before they could claim it, even though they had called the animal shelter to request the body. Although neither dog was wearing a collar, both had implanted microchips for identification. “Our civil rights were violated, and this was a criminal act,” Daniels said. “We are not going to stop here today.” The couple are raising money to pay legal fees. They say they have proof that Bella was shot because she was an inconvenience, not a threat. In video Daniels took with his cell phone, Austin acknowledges that the dog was not aggressive toward him and that he shot it because it was taking too long to catch. The county has requested the entire 17-minute video, but the owners have declined to turn it over. If Bella had been another breed of dog, she would still be alive, they said. “There is a lot of ignorance and hate spread about these wonderful animals,” Daniels said. White said he will present Koch’s report to the other county commissioners and suggest a review of animal control procedures and protocols including containment of loose animals, use of tranquilizer guns, identification of animals and disposal of bodies. “We can reach out to different organizations that we already have in the county to talk to them what can we do better,” he said.

Landis Police hold Special Olympics golf tourney The Landis Police raised more than $8,000 for Special Olympics through a series of fundraisers and a recent Torch Run Golf Tournament. On May 17, the police department teed off for their Law Enforcement Torch Run Golf Tournament at the Club at Irish Creek. There were 70 golfers who participated in the event, which was co-sponsored by the town of Landis. The Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics is the largest grass-roots fundraising program benefiting Special Olympics, with its inception in 1981, law enforcement saw an urgent need to raise funds and awareness for Special Olympics. Today, in North Carolina, the Torch Run involves more
than 2,500 law enforcement officers representing more than 200 law enforcement agencies who take part of the 2,000 mile, 15 leg torch relay across North Carolina. The event began with a speech from Special Olympics Messenger David Rhodes, who spoke about what Special Olympics meant to him and how it has affected his life. Benji Smith, who is a Special Olympics golfer in Rowan County, led all golfers with a ceremonial putt to lead the golfers. This is the first year that the Landis Police Department has been involved with Special Olympics, said coordinator Sgt. Don Sildardi. “After all the rain had fallen, and the last shot was sunk, close to $8,500.00 was raised for Special
Olympics,” Silardi said. The Landis Police Department would like to thank the following sponsors who made this year’s tournament a success: the town of Landis who was the presenting sponsor; Gold level sponsors include: Food Lion, Best Buy, Carolinas Medical Center-NorthEast, and Sweet Tea’s Catering, which provided a barbeque dinner after the tournament; Silver level sponsors include: Creative Graphics, which supplied the trophies to all the winners along with all the signage, Kings Mart of Landis, Castle & Cooke Carolinas Realty, Castle & Cooke Carolinas Development, Jimmy’s Restaurant, Budweiser, Landis Plumbing, Bank of the Carolinas, Rick Lockear Law Office, Xtreme Golf of China Grove and
Corrugated Pinnacle. A special thanks to all the volunteers who donated their time and energy to make the tournament a big success and to Ken Ford with Met Life who braved the rain to sponsor and run the putting contest. In 2009, Law Enforcement officers across the state raised over $951,000 for Special Olympics. North Carolina is proud to have one of the largest Special Olympics programs in the world, with more than 38,000 athletes across the state. Sildardi said plans are already underway for next year’s tournament. Anyone interested in sponsoring or participating should contact Sgt. Don Silardi at 704-857-2129 or at dsilardi@landispolice.com.

Warm spring temperatures draw people out of their house and onto the road for travel or recreation, raising the importance of sharing the street with fellow travelers — whether they are pressing the gas pedal or the bike pedal. According to North Carolina law, a bicycle is a vehicle, and bicyclists share the same rights and responsibilities as other drivers. National Bicycle Safety Month is recognized during May of each year, and the N.C. Department of Transportation has issued a press release to remind those traveling by both bicycle and motor vehicle to obey all traffic laws and use caution. “Bicyclists and motorists share the road and need to travel responsibly,” said Tom Norman, director of NCDOT’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Division, in the press release. “Safety is our top priority, and this month, we want to remind both groups to be alert on the roads at all times of the year.” More than 900 bicycle-motor vehicle crashes are reported to the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles each year. The majority of incidents occur between the months of May and September, and between the hours of 2 p.m. and 10 p.m. In 2009, there were

What many don’t realize is that during this busy time, blood donations often decline due to vacation and summer activities, while the need for blood remains constant. You can help the Red Cross avoid a shortage this summer by giving at one of the following sites. All donors who give blood between now and June 30 can enter a drawing to win a cruise for two. If you are 16, you can donate blood but must have a parent or legal guardian and a photo ID. For more information, call Sherry Smith at 704-633-3854, ext 105.

Cooking demonstration June 1 at RRMC Pfeiffer University hosts Habitat 5K There are just six spaces left for a cooking demonstration where participants will learn how to incorporate fruits and vegetables into their cooking. The demonstration, the Healthy Summer Time Treats, is hosted by Rowan Regional Medical Center, is June 1 in the Education Resource Center. There are two classes, 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Both classes are an hour long. The deadline to sign up for the second class is today, said Michelle Henrickson, a reg-
istered dietitian and certified diabetes educator. Henrickson will conduct the class and prepare four or five recipes. “We will bring the nutritional component into each recipe,” she said. She’ll discuss the health benefits of fruits and vegetables and how to get “more fruits and vegetables into your day.” She didn’t want to reveal the recipes because she wants participants to be surprised, but she did say one of the recipes will include berries and another will have corn. “These will be seasonal
things that can be found at the Farmer’s Market,” she said. The classrooms hold about 30 people. The cooking demonstrations are done quarterly with the next cooking demonstration to be held sometime in September. She and fellow dietitian Michelle Musselwhite alternate teaching the classes and assisting the other. Henrickson said there will be handouts of all the recipes she prepares, nutritional information as well as highlights from the program. To register, call 704-2105771.
Kissell introduces bill to reduce textile fraud U.S. Rep. Larry Kissell (NC-08) introduced the first textile specific custom enforcement legislation Tuesday afternoon during a press conference in Washington. Joining Kissell to sponsor the Textile Enforcement and Security Act are fellow North Carolinian Representatives Walter Jones as lead cosponsor, Howard Coble, Patrick McHenry, Mike McIntyre, Bob Etheridge, Virginia Foxx and Sue Myrick. “Our government has an obligation to protect American jobs and to help the American economy grow,” Kissell said in a press release. “By not enforcing trade deals and holding other countries accountable to honor their end of these agreements, it has continued to cause undue harm to American manufacturers and industry. We have
to do a better job at enforcing the protections put in place, and protecting the interests of American manufacturers so they have the opportunity to compete in the global marketplace.” In the past decade, textile and apparel fraud has become an increasing problem for the U.S. textile industry, the press release said. It relies heavily on strong customs enforcement to protect against this type of fraud. Fraudulent activities include front companies posing as legitimate U.S. businesses, undervalued goods, illegal preference and free trade agreement claims. “After the years of harming American industry, it is time for the government to start protecting American workers and American jobs,” Kissell said in the press re-
lease. “The Textile Enforcement and Security Act of 2010 will provide the resources necessary to crack down on textile fraud and close loopholes which allow foreign companies to unfairly exploit these trade deals.” The Textile Enforcement and Security Act of 2010 is designed to address the issues of increasing fraud by increasing the necessary resources to investigate and prosecute offenders with funds coming from fines and penalties collected. It establishes an electronic verification of textiles and apparel imports, increases staff at high-volume ports for textile and apparel imports and establishes a non-resident importer program to ensure that resident agents are held accountable for products imported under their name.

Worse than Exxon Valdez: Spill confirmed as biggest in U.S. history ROBERT, La. (AP) — As BP labored for a second day Thursday to choke off the leak at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, dire new government estimates showed the disaster has eclipsed the Exxon Valdez as the biggest oil spill in U.S. history. The company said early in the day that the operation known as a “top kill” was continuing, but announced later that it had been suspended since around midnight Wednesday so crews could bring in more mud to shoot into the blown-out well 5,000 feet underwater. The top kill was expected to resume overnight, but it could be later today or the weekend before the company knows if it has cut off the oil that has been flowing for five weeks. BP has insisted the top kill was progressing as planned, though the company acknowledged the mud was escaping from the broken pipe along with the leaking crude. “The fact that we had a bunch of mud going up the
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Workers try to clean the beach of oil residue near Grand Isle, La., on Thursday. BP will inject cement into the well to seal it permanently. If it doesn’t, the company has a number of backup plans. Either way, crews will continue to drill two relief wells, considered the only surefire way to stop the leak. A top kill has never been attempted before so deep underwater. BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles said
riser isn’t ideal but it’s not necessarily indicative of a problem,” said spokesman Tom Mueller. The top kill is the latest in a string of attempts to stop the oil that has been spewing since the drilling rig Deepwater Horizon exploded April 20. Eleven workers were killed. If the procedure works,
the company is also considering shooting small, dense rubber balls or assorted junk such as golf balls and rubber scraps to stop up a crippled five-story piece of equipment known as a blowout preventer to keep the mud from escaping. The stakes were higher than ever as public frustration over the spill grew and a team of government scientists said the oil has been flowing at a rate 2 1⁄2 to five times higher than what BP and the Coast Guard previously estimated. Two teams of scientists calculated the well has been spewing between 504,000 and more than a million gallons a day. Even using the most conservative estimate, that means about 18 million gallons have spilled so far. In the worst-case scenario, 39 million gallons have leaked. That larger figure would be nearly four times the size of the Exxon Valdez disaster, in which a tanker ran aground in Alaska in 1989, spilling nearly 11 million gallons.
“Now we know the true scale of the monster we are fighting in the Gulf,” said Jeremy Symons, vice president of the National Wildlife Federation. “BP has unleashed an unstoppable force of appalling proportions.” BP spokesman Steve Rinehart said the previous estimate of 210,000 gallons a day was based on the best data available at the time. As for the new figures, he said: “It does not and will not change the response. We are going all out on our response.” The spill is not the biggest ever in the Gulf. In 1979, a drilling rig in Mexican waters
— the Ixtoc I — blew up, releasing 140 million gallons of oil. In another troubling discovery, marine scientists said they have spotted a huge new plume of what they believe to be oil deep beneath the Gulf, stretching 22 miles from the leaking wellhead northeast toward Mobile Bay, Ala. They fear it could have resulted from using chemicals a mile below the surface to break up the oil. Fishermen, hotel and restaurant owners, politicians and residents along the coast are getting fed up with BP’s failures to stop the leak.

to 33 exploratory deep-water rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. Obama’s news conference was his third this year, but just his first scheduled question-and-answer session at the White House since a primetime East Room session in July of last year. Even Democrats described Obama as defensive in his meeting with reporters. “The president and White House are arguably facing their first crisis without a partisan foe, and that makes for difficult press conferences and unforgiving politics,” Democratic strategist Chris Kofinis said. Obama spoke at times in personal terms. “My job right now is just to make sure everybody in the Gulf understands: This is what I wake up to in the morning, and this is what I go to bed at night thinking about. The spill.”
R124217
WASHINGTON (AP) — Thrown on the defensive, President Barack Obama acknowledged that his administration could have done better in dealing with the biggest oil spill in the nation’s history and misjudged the industry’s ability to cope with a worst-case scenario. Obama will make his second tour of the battered Gulf Coast today. “I take responsibility. It is my job to make sure that everything is done to shut this down,” Obama declared in a lengthy news conference at the White House on Thursday. Obama’s words marked a clear shift of emphasis for an administration that previously had said it was generally “in charge” but there were limits to what it could do — and that oil giant BP was responsible for stopping the flow and cleaning up the disastrous damage. “Those who think we were either slow on the response or lacked urgency, don’t know the facts,” Obama said at a White House news conference at which he also announced new restrictions on offshore drilling. Elizabeth Birnbaum, the head of the Minerals Management Service that oversees offshore drilling, resigned under pressure. Obama’s move to take responsibility and accept BIRNBAUM accountability was a gesture few politicians are eager to make. But with each passing day, frustration with Obama’s administration has grown, and his poll numbers on the matter are dropping. The news conference and his trip to the coast today represent a more aggressive public effort by the president. Asked about comparisons to the Bush administration’s much-criticized handling of the Hurricane Katrina aftermath, he said that was for others to judge but he insisted his administration has been active from the start. “This has been our highest priority” since the rig exploded, he said. The president announced new steps to restrict drilling, including continuing a moratorium on drilling permits for six months, suspending planned exploratory drilling off the coasts of Alaska and Virginia and ordering a halt

Cowell’s pick comes through as American Idol judge’s reign ends BY DERRIK J. LANG
www.salisburypost.com
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Lee DeWyze reacts with host Ryan Seacrest, left, after he was announced the season nine winner of ‘American Idol.’ Pocket” and Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Long As I Can See the Light.” “We need you here,” Ellen DeGeneres declared at that point. However, DeWyze managed to swirl flavors from the previous two “Idol” champs — Kris Allen’s boyishly reserved stage presence and David Cook’s rocker-next-door musical stylings — to create a palette pleasing to the biggest bloc of “Idol” voters, namely the howlers looking for their next heartthrob who made certain DeWyze never appeared as low vote getter. In Cowell’s final appearance on the hit Fox show, he got emotional while warmly thanking his colleagues and fans. “I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the support, the fun and your sense of humor,” he said. “That’s what’s been the best part — it’s been a blast.” The caustic judge was feted in film and in song during the star-studded show. There was a montage of Cowell’s meanest insults (“It sounded like cats jumping off the Empire State Building ... just before they hit the floor”) and memorable exchanges with fellow judge Paula Abdul. She returned to the show to pay respects to the departing judge, saying their work together “brought me immeasurable joy.” “I love all the fun we had together, I love all the laughter we shared together,” she said, adding that the show “is not going to be the same without you, but as only I can tell you, it will go on.”
R123784
Simon Cowell was granted his final wish on “American Idol.” Lee DeWyze, the bashful paint sales clerk championed early by the biting British judge on the Fox singing contest, was crowned “Idol” on Wednesday over single mother Crystal Bowersox. His victory was based on votes cast after Tuesday’s performances, which drew more acclaim from the judges for Bowersox, though DeWyze was Cowell’s favorite from the outset. DeWyze knew it, too. Back during Hollywood Week, the show’s rapid-fire post-audition phase, he took note of Cowell tapping along as he crooned The Fray’s “You Found Me.” It became clearer after his rendition of Snow Patrol’s “Chasing Cars” during the first round of the semifinals that Cowell was pushing for the throaty underdog from Mount Prospect, Ill. “I fought for you to be here,” he told DeWyze. “I still believe in you.” Such affirmations helped the unassuming rocker to overcome his shortcomings, namely a lack of self-confidence, to take down Bowersox, arguably the ninth season’s most powerful singer. COWELL Despite his innate shyness, DeWyze solidified himself as a contender early in the finals with deft takes on The Box Tops’ “The Letter” and the Rolling Stones’ “Beast of Burden.” “You are growing faster than anybody on this stage,” Kara DioGuardi told him. Indeed, DeWyze was always on the ascent, powering through walking pneumonia for the Cornelius Brothers’ “Treat Her Like a Lady,” and making everyone take notice when he unexpectedly dueted with a bagpipe player on The Beatles’ “Hey Jude.” The sheepish vocalist struggled more at conversing with Ryan Seacrest and maneuvering through the group routines than singing. The panel wasn’t just satisfied with DeWyze’s raspy tone. Panelists demanded to see the scruffy, 24-year-old singer smile. He finally flashed them a goofy grin and started to hit a stride after Elvis Presley’s “A Little Less Conversation.” Meanwhile, Bowersox began to fumble when tasked with out-of-her-element genres. Still, her spot on the finale always seemed certain. When the dreadlocked 24-year-old musician first belted out “Piece of My Heart” at her audition, Bowersox felt like a folksy singer who could appeal to the masses. She possibly peaked early in the semifinals with flawless versions of Alanis Morissette’s “Hand in My

Everyone loves tomatoes
DARRELL BLACKWELDER/FOR THE SALISBURY POST
Fire blight is likely to blame for these black, dead leaves.
Bats, bugs and Bradford pears
DARRELL BLACKWELDER/FOR THE SALISBURY POST
Nothing says summer like bushels of tomatoes.
Tips for a delicious, juicy crop T
omatoes are by far the favorite vegetable grown in Rowan County. Many home gardeners have already planted their early crop and are already experiencing problems. Cooperative Extension receives an abundance of questions as soon as the plant begins to set fruit. Below are a few mistakes first-time DARRELL gardenBLACKWELDER home ers often make with their tomato crop. There is still time this season to remedy some of these problems in the quest for that perfect tomato. • Many home gardeners don’t test their soil. This leads to guessing as to what type of fertilizers are needed for optimum growth. Many tend to over-lime and fail to add needed nutrients for optimum growth. • Improper fertilization. Tomatoes are extremely heavy feeders and need a constant source of fertilizer. Most fail to side dress with extra fertilizer after the plants start to set fruit. Fertilize every four weeks with two tablespoons of 10-10-10 per plant to maintain vigor and produce large fruit. • Too much shade. Tomatoes need full sunlight most of the day. Partial shade from trees or buildings limits production and quality of fruit. Plants become dark green, tall and spindly. Plants in this situation produce few fruit. • Some tomatoes are difficult to grow. Many of the older varieties have no resistance to fungal and bacterial diseases. Before purchasing seed or plants, make sure the plants are VFNT Tomatoes: V (verticillium), F (fusarium), N (nematode), and T (tobacco mosaic) resistant. For example, Big Boy, German Johnson and Fantastic and other heirloom varieties often have no disease resistance and can be very difficult to grow. • Home gardeners fail to spray with fungicides. Tomatoes are susceptible to a wide range of both fungi and bacterial diseases. Fungal diseases during damp,
humid weather can defoliate plants within days producing small, poor quality fruit. Fungicidal applications will control foliar diseases. • Incorrect irrigation or watering practices. Blossom end rot is a calcium deficiency which is aggravated by too little or too much water. Blossom end rot is characterized by black rotten spots on the blossom end of the tomato just before ripening. These plants require even moisture during pe- Healthy tomatoes on a healthy vine. riods of drought. Drip systems or soaker hoses, coupled with a layer of mulch, aids in retention of even moisture. Lime is the source of calcium which needs to be added to the soil before planting. • Planting only one variety. Many are surprised as to how well newer varieties perform and taste. Newer varieties are not only disease and heat resistant, but actually have good flavor. Plant your favorite, but always try a few new varieties each year. • Improper insect control. Aphids are usually the first insect to attack tomatoes and most use Sevin for Gardeners look forward to a bountiful harvest. control. Sevin will not control aphids. Insects can be a real pain late in the season. Most are not prepared to spray during late summer and are eaten alive by fruit worms. • Herbicides will kill. Spray drift from lawn weed control herbicides and others like Roundup will damage or destroy tomato crops. Be very careful when spraying near plants.

Mother does the math, subtracts brother’s family
Dear Mary: My dad passed away and left me three large tubs filled with stamps that he collected over the past 20 years. Do you have any suggestions for how I can sell them for a fair price? — Lorna, e-mail Dear Lorna: MARY The American HUNT Stamp Dealers Association (http://www.ASDAonline. com) has invaluable information on how to get your collection appraised, including an article titled “Things you need to find out before selling a stamp collection.” If this collection is found to have value, it will be valuable to another collector. Do not expect to get retail prices for the items. Expect wholesale prices, which could be less than the actual value of the stamps. Speaking directly with someone who is qualified and trustworthy is the best way to discover the market value of this collection. Dear Mary: I just read one of your columns recommending the famous “envelope method” of budgeting, when you divvy a whole lot of cash into labeled envelopes and
pay your expenses with cash. Isn’t it dangerous to have hundreds of dollars in cash lying around your house or in your purse? — Alison H., Pennsylvania
Dear Alison: I wouldn’t recommend that you have more than a week’s worth of enveloped money on hand to pay for daily expenses, so you won’t carry an inordinate amount of money with my method. A small home safe or a place to hide the envelopes is a good idea, especially if you are nervous about carrying cash. Just make sure that you grab the envelopes you’ll need when it’s time to buy groceries, gas and other routine items. There are so many benefits to living with cash to pay for your day-to-day expenses that I believe the extra precautions you take are well worth the effort. Dear Mary: You recently suggested dropping the land line as a way to save money. Is it safe to use a cell phone when calling credit card companies or banks? What if you need to share personal data, such as Social Security numbers or account numbers? I thought a land line is the safest phone to use to avoid identity theft. — Tony, e-mail Dear Tony: You bring up an interesting point. The only
credible evidence I can find that land lines are more secure for transmitting private, sensitive information is offered by phone companies that provide land line services. They don’t want to lose their land line customers, so it makes sense that they include this in all the reasons you need a land line. If you are overly concerned about security because you communicate your private identifying information via phone, you probably should keep your land line. You never should give sensitive information to an unsolicited caller, no matter what type of phone connection you are using. It’s not the unsecured connection you should be worried about in that case; it's the stranger at the other end of the phone, who is trying to get you to give up your information voluntarily. Do you have a question for Mary? E-mail her at mary@everydaycheapskate.c om, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2135, Paramount, CA 90723.

Three organizational projects for summer BY SARAH WELCH AND A LICIA R OCKMORE getbuttonedup.com
Summer is a great time to kick back and enjoy the simple things. Capture fireflies, run after the ice-cream truck or simply pour a tall glass of lemonade and grab the latest best seller. You can spend summer being as carefree as you want to be. While it’s definitely one of the best times of the year to relax, recharge and renew, it doesn’t have to be defined by doing absolutely nothing. In fact, summer can be a great time to attack nagging projects that have been tabled for months or to devise new ones. We tend to have more time and energy without any of the interruptions of the school year, holidays and other obligations. So, pour yourself some lemonade and get your organizing on. Sarah on “maximizing the extra time”: New Year’s and back-toschool times tend to be when most people think of getting organized and starting something new, but summer is actually a great time to undertake organizational projects. Even if you no longer attend elementary school and get three whole months off, summer still tends to be a slower time of the year at work and home. More people are on vacation, so there tend to be fewer social obligations. The extra hours of sunlight and
gentler pace give us more energy and time to get things accomplished, so it’s perfect for finally cleaning out the garage or figuring out what to do with that box of documents gathering dust in the cellar. Alicia on “spending it wisely”: Summer is definitely my favorite time of the year. I love the laid-back feel and having the extra time with friends and family. If, like me, it’s your favorite time of the year, maximize it by being organized and doing the things that you enjoy most. Figure out ahead of time how you want to spend your months. Do you want to take a vacation or spend time getting to know your own area a little bit better? Plan ahead to find out activities and events that are going on that you might want to attend. It goes so quickly, so I like to be ahead of the game. Top three projects for summer: 1. Say cheese. If you still haven’t downloaded your pictures from Christmas, it’s time to dig up your power cord. Set aside some time and organize your pictures in your computer or make albums with your photos. If you have children, this is a great project to do with them on a rainy day. It’s a fun way to reminisce about the year before it all starts over again
when school starts in September and the holidays creep up again. 2. Build in Healthy Habits. Forget New Year’s resolutions. They really should be summer resolutions. After all, this is the time of year when the sunlight lasts the longest, making it much easier to fit in after-work exercise or a post-dinner walk. Fresh produce is also abundant, so eating more fruits and vegetables is easier and more enjoyable. You don’t necessarily need to revamp your whole lifestyle; start by adding in a little more exercise or by cooking more at home with farm-fresh produce and go from there. 3. Prepare for Summer’s Wrath. It’s easy to forget that while summer is a great time of the year, it can also wreak havoc in the form of hurricanes, tornadoes, flash floods and fires in many parts of the country. Remember the notso-nice side of summer by prepping your family for an emergency. Make sure your insurance is up to date and covers your needs, and prepare an emergency plan.

Dear Amy: I recently went out to dinner with a friend. A few days before, she informed me that she had a gift card she wanted to use. When the check came after dinner, she asked me to pay $36 — my portion of the tab with tip. She had no intention of sharing the card ($50 value). I thought it was rude and tasteless of her to use the gift card just for herself. I think she needed my cash for some-

Dear Anne: Your friend told you she intended to use a gift card. Did she also tell you she would treat you to the meal? If you feel used or if there was a misunderstanding about who would pay for the meal, you should clear it up with her. There’s nothing “wrong” with using a gift card to pay for a meal — or pay for a portion of a meal.

POST-SECONDARY POSSIBILITIES
College isn’t for everyone From the News & Observer of Raleigh:
I
t’s almost as much a part of the American Dream as the house with the picket fence. A college education now is seen by upand-coming families, by parents who never had the chance, by high school classmates and by even distant observers as a must-do for younger folks who want to succeed. The reasons include, “You’ll need this to move up in the business world” and “Get the degree first, and then you can do what you want because you’ll have something to fall back on.” But as the Associated Press recently reported, the college degree as necessity now is being questioned by some folks who think perhaps they’d rather opt for skill training in a craft or trade. That can be a perfectly reasonable approach, although it probably goes against the grain of high school counselors as well as worried parents. It sort of comes full circle from the time when only a select few young people were able to partake of higher education, but maybe college really isn’t for everyone. At the least, high school counselors should explore all the options with students, having it understood with parents that no, they’re not trying to dissuade kids from going to college, but only making it clear that there are other paths to fulfillment, all of them requiring additional training, of course. This is not to say that college is no longer an important entree into a professional life. But one of the oft-heard criticisms of the American economic situation is that “we don’t make anything.” Might there be budding inventors or entrepreneurs with ideas they could explore with a technical or mechanical skill education rather than with a conventional college degree? The work of making new things and fixing old ones can be challenging and well-paying, and young people should not be hindered in exploring how those kinds of work might suit them.
At the least, high school counselors should explore all the options with students.
Common sense
(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)
“Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all.” — Sam Ewing
Moderately confused
n the category of Hypocrite of the Week, we have co-winners — Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and former Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska. Both politicians, potential rivals for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, have made their careers bashing the federal government’s propensity to spend money and regulate business. And yet when oil started gushing into the Gulf of Mexico from a damaged BP well, who were they quick to blame for a slow response? Washington, of course. Here’s Jindal: “We’ve been frustrated with the disjointed effort to date that has too often meant too little, too late for the oil hitting our coast.” Sixteen months ago, he was telling a national TV audience that Republicans have a “fundamental disagreement (with DemocSTEVE AND rats) about the proper COKIE ROBERTS role of government.” Now he’s demanding that the feds compensate the state’s fishermen and build sand barriers to keep oil out of the state’s marshland. Palin, whose husband worked for BP for 18 years, suggested, incredibly enough, that the oil company’s campaign contributions to President Obama were responsible for him “taking so doggone long to get in there, to dive in there, and grasp the complexity and the potential tragedy that we are seeing here in the Gulf of Mexico.” Both have a point. There’s not much that Washington can do to plug the leak, but the administration has reacted slowly to its impact. As oil strangles more birds and stains more beaches, the political risks for Obama expand. Still, Jindal and Palin miss a much larger issue. The real problem here is the failure of government agencies to monitor and regulate the offshore-drilling industry. Washington does not have all the answers, and the risk of overregulation is real, but the past few months have reinforced a basic economic truth: Profitmaking corporations will do everything possible to evade costly rules and maximize their bottom line. And only tough standards, enforced by independent regulators, can hold those corporations accountable and protect the rest of us from their worst excesses. The failure of government regulation only starts with blemished beaches. The dismal performance by federal agencies monitoring the economy has had a far more devastating impact. Consider the following:
• The Securities and Exchange Commission repeatedly ignored “significant red flags” about the billion-dollar Ponzi scheme perpetrated by Bernie Madoff, according to the commission’s inspector general. “His report,” said Mary Schapiro, the SEC’s current chairman, “makes clear that the agency missed numerous opportunities to discover the fraud.” • The SEC has filed a civil complaint against Goldman Sachs, Wall Street’s most powerful firm, alleging that Goldman marketed investments to clients that were designed to fail. But when the deals were being carried out, SEC lawyers apparently had other concerns. A recent report by the inspector general found 31 cases of commission employees downloading pornography on their office computers. • In the months before a deadly explosion in West Virginia killed 29 coal miners, Massey Energy, the mine operator, had been cited for numerous safety violations. But it was never told to stop operating. Ken Hechler, the former congressman who helped write current mining regulations, said they were never enforced. And that makes the Mine Safety and Health Administration “partially responsible” for the disaster, he argued. This same pattern of incompetent, even corrupt, regulation shows up in the oil industry. Testifying before Congress, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar condemned his own agency, the Minerals Management Service: “We need to clean
up that house.” Asked if the service had properly monitored the safety procedures taken by BP, Salazar answered bluntly: “No.” A report issued by Mary L. Kendall, the Interior Department’s acting inspector general, fleshed out the details behind Salazar’s harsh judgment. She describes a culture where regulators, and the corporate executives they are supposed to oversee, trade favors, gifts and jobs on a regular basis. “Of greatest concern to me,” she wrote, “is the environment in which these inspectors operate — particularly the ease with which they move between industry and government.” The importance of government oversight is enhanced by another dispiriting trend: the financial troubles of major news organizations and their growing inability to devote resources to investigative reporting. Holding the powerful to account is an expensive business, and reporters, like regulators, are the essential watchdogs of a secure democracy. There’s one clear lesson here: The feds have to be tougher on corporations, not softer. The watchdogs have to bark more loudly and more often. Otherwise, we’ll have more oil spills, more mine cave-ins, more economic collapses. That’s a truth the Hypocrites of the Week refuse to recognize. • • • Steve Roberts’ new book, “From Every End of This Earth” (HarperCollins), was published this fall. E-mail: stevecokie@ gmail.com.

For the Salisbury Post
L
ast week, less than two miles from where I live in the Village of Gold Hill on St. Stephen’s Church Road, a 21-year-old driver plowed into a group of 18 cyclists, injuring six of them, two very seriously. From what I can gather from the news, it seems the driver didn’t “see” the riders and turned into them coming from the opposite direction. If you can’t “see” 18 bicycles and riders in neon-colored clothing out on a rural road, then you don’t need to be driving to start with. In the end, the defense may even suggest the bike riders were at fault. Everyone makes mistakes, and life goes on. The fact remains, however, that the two most seriously injured riders will likely carry the scars and pains for the rest of their lives, not to mention the other riders who watched this take place. Oftentimes, witnessing something like this unfold is almost as traumatic as being in the middle of it, and I’m sure this will be a hard image to erase from their minds. My experience in similar situations is that it happens in a sort of slow motion that is very easy to recall, sort of like what a war veteran will tell you about being in the middle of a battle and all of your senses absorbing everything around you. It’s the very reason these images are so hard to shake. In the case of these particular riders, they weren’t a group of rookies out trying to break in their new toys. A half dozen or so are professional riders with thousands of miles of experience, and the rest were accomplished riders as well. This group had in fact been using this route as a training run for the past

Emergency workers attend to one of the cyclists injured in a May 19 accident on St. Stephen’s Church Road. 15 years or so, which really brings up my point. In case some of you have missed it, bicycling has become a very popular sport, particularly over the past 1015 years. Hardly a day goes by that I don’t see a bike come by my house. If I’m out on the road, I see them in every imaginable traffic situation. In towns and cities, on rural country roads, highways, bridges, intersections and anywhere else you can imagine. For those of you who don’t like bicycles on the roads, I’m afraid I’m the one to tell you we aren’t going to go away or disappear. Bicycles for some hold the same allure as the motorcycle or airplane does for others. There’s the freedom, the wind in your face, the solitude and, in the case of the bicycle, the benefit of the exercise it provides as you push your way through the air. So going away is not an option. There are in fact those of us who believe there should be more people in the world riding bicycles, not less. We’re not a radical group, and I doubt you’ll see many of us manning a picket line demanding equal space on the roadways (that we pay taxes on as well, by the way). A lot of us are graying a little bit around the edges and have to stretch and go through a little pre-ride ritual sometimes just to make sure all the parts that
are still left are working well enough to get through the upcoming adventure of the day. Others on the road are precision riders who time and monitor every aspect of their activities in preparation for upcoming challenges. We are also a determined group that insists on being able to use our portion of the asphalt and will continue to do so. So if you’re cruising down the road with the windows rolled down, the music turned up, half slumped over into the passenger seat rubbing your girlfriend’s knee while talking on your cell phone, remember that just over that next hill may be a situation that could change your life forever. And not changed in a good way. Killing a 2-year-old’s mother when you run over her is probably not the legacy you want to leave behind. As for the driver in this current situation, if you receive community service and have to go out and clean up the litter on the side of the road, be sure and wear that bright orange vest that they will provide for you when you’re out among the traffic. It’s crazy out there. • • • Gary Poole lives in Gold Hill and is a founding member of Group Gold Hill Cycling. The 11th annual Gold Hill Invitational Bike Ride takes place Saturday.
ro football has chosen to return to its roots and play the 2014 Super Bowl — that’s XLVIII for those of you keeping count — on the potentially frozen tundra of northern New Jersey. The owners waived the traditional requirement that the championship game, if it is played outdoors, be held in a locale where the average winter temperature is 50 degrees or better. That’s why Miami has hosted 10 Super Bowls and six-time winner Pittsburgh none. Although football has been played in horrendous conditions — the temperature for a 1967 title game in Green Bay was minus-13 degrees, minus48 with the wind chill — this will be the first-ever Super Bowl played outdoors in a site with real winters. The average February high in East Rutherford, site of the 82,566-seat New Meadowlands Stadium shared by the New York Giants and Jets, is 40 degrees, the low, 24. The attraction of the site is not so much New Jersey, but the bright lights of Manhattan just across the river for the weeklong pre-game festivities. It’s unclear that this rare foray outdoors in the North with its untamed weather is a one-time deal or whether football will feel daring and risk other cold-weather venues. Already, Redskins owner Daniel Snyder is clamoring for a Super Bowl in Washington, where there is talk, so far idle, of building a new stadium back in the capital itself. We say go for it. Given the public’s fascination with weather disasters — blizzards, floods, tornadoes — that befall someone else somewhere else, a snow or ice storm could only increase ratings. Besides, if XLVIII attracts a similar audience to this February’s XLIV, 106,417,434 will be warm and dry, watching it on TV.

The third exception is U.S. 17 in Windsor (Bertie County), which is reduced to one lane on the Cashie River Bridge due to construction. Motorists are encouraged to use the U.S. 17 Bypass around Windsor to avoid possible delays. Work on the other, suspended road projects will resume at 9 a.m. Tuesday, the DOT says. With the weekend’s increased traffic comes the greater likelihood of accidents. The Highway Patrol will increase patrols on all interstates and major four-lane highways during the holiday weekend. They’ll be tracking speed — the leading cause of traffic collisions and fatalities in the state — looking for reckless drivers and checking seat belts. The Highway Patrol and other law enforcement agencies have been setting up “Click-It or Ticket” seatbelt checkpoints across the state throughout the week. Troopers are also participating in the nationwide “Operation C.A.R.E.” (Combined Accident Reduction Effort). The Memorial Day holiday weekend officially begins at 6 p.m. Friday and ends at midnight Monday.
Conserve fuel
To help reduce fuel consumption and save money, DOT advises: • Don’t rush. “Jack-rabbit” starts and hard braking alone can increase fuel consumption by 40 percent, but reduce travel time by only 4 percent. • Observe the speed limit. Not exceeding 60 miles per hour (where legally allowed) can improve mileage by 7 to 23 percent. • Use cruise control. Using cruise control on 10,000 miles driven in a year could save you nearly $200 and save more than 60 gallons of fuel, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. • Remove unnecessary items. An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle can reduce your miles per gallon by up to 2 percent. Wind resistance can also reduce mileage so avoid using luggage racks, rooftop carriers and ski racks when they are not needed.
RALEIGH (AP) — U.S. Senator Jesse Helms curried favor with the FBI and director J. Edgar Hoover before starting his 30-year political life as a conservative icon, then occasionally called on the bureau for information and investigations, newly released records showed. The FBI file on Helms, a polarizing figure who actively fought against the civil rights movement, was comprised mostly of agents investigating death threats, according to more than 1,500 pages released to the Associated Press under a Freedom of Information Act request. Helms died July 4, 2008. “All senators and congressmen get threats periodically. Most of it’s not se-

So, why the lower gas prices? The European financial crisis has dropped the price of crude oil, inventory is the most plentiful it has been in decades and pre-Memorial Day driving demand has been soft — all helping to lower gasoline prices, according to AAA. Wilmington and Myrtle Beach have the highest prices in the state at $2.81 and $2.67, respectively. The state's cheapest gas is in High Point at $2.65; South Carolina's in Greenville at $2.57. As for other types of travel, AAA Carolinas expects air travel to hold steady, with 60,000 North Carolinians and 32,000 South Carolinians flying this holiday, as airfares are still high, capacity is limited, flight delays are possible and security and baggage hassles remain. Other travel (bus, rail, maritime) is expected to total 54,000 in N.C. and 27,000 in S.C. according to AAA Carolinas. Travelers are still watching their budgets, AAA Carolinas officials say, but they are getting out of the house after searching for promotions and deals being offered in greater abundance this Memorial Day holiday.
rious,” said Jesse Helms Center director John Dodd, who began working as a political consultant for Helms in the ’80s. “It certainly wasn’t something he talked about much.” The threats came from gay rights activists, supporters of an indoor smoking ban and many others who expressed no cause. One man carried a hit list and a .357 Magnum handgun into a 1991 Senate hearing, though documents indicated Helms wasn’t the primary target. More than a year before Helms won his Senate seat in 1972, a memo to Hoover described how the Raleigh television executive staunchly backed Hoover. Helms offered the station’s resources to help the FBI any time. The files do not indicate whether the FBI took up the offer.

When Freda Horne puts Debbie in the harness, it’s all business for the 2year-old yellow lab. ‘Body language is half the command,’ Horne says, adding that guide dogs get plenty of time to play when out of the harness.

her own training. They were taken into city and country environments, covering up to 5 miles at a time. They learned how to function together in restaurants, grocery stores and department stores. They tackled stairs, escalators, curbs, hanging branches and things on the ground that could trip them up. A thousand times, Horne heard herself telling Debbie to “sit,” heel,” “down,” and “forward.” “Body language is half the command,” Horne says. Horne learned how to give Debbie room to play and how to feed her, brush her teeth and gently instruct others how to react to her dog. When Debbie’s in the harness she’s in charge, Horne says, still amazed how the dog maneuvered them through the Charlotte airport when they arrived home at the end of April. When the harness is off, and Debbie’s on a regular leash, Horne’s in charge. Suffering from diabetic retinopathy, Horne lost sight in her right eye in 1999. She adapted to her change in depth perception and kept working as a registered nurse at the Hefner VA Medical Center in Salisbury. Ironically, she worked in the eye clinic as her vision worsened. But in 2004, “the VA realized I couldn’t see,” she says. Within two months, the paperwork was filed and approved to place her on disability. She could hardly face leaving. “That devastated me,” Horne says. “I dealt with my blindness better than I did with losing my job.” A motorcycle enthusiast, Horne had taken herself off the road several years earlier. In 2005, the Division of Motor Vehicles made it official, refusing to renew her driver’s license. But she remained active. She teaches Bible school in the summer and tends to the nursery on Sundays at Faith Baptist Church. She regularly goes to the East Rowan Y and belongs to the Rockwell Lions Club, an organization devoted to helping the visually impaired. Horne sells Lions Club brooms and works the organization’s vision van. She plans to become a certified American Red Cross instructor and teach CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) to blind students. The best Horne can hope for is that her vision doesn’t deteriorate much more. She says she can see with her good eye about 2 feet in front of her. Reading something like a medicine bottle demands huge magnifiers.

credited, nonprofit school that has been providing guide dogs for more than 50 years. Students from around the world attend the school. Horne says that once her application was approved, the program and her guide dog cost her nothing. Guiding Eyes depends on donations to pay the considerable costs associated with each dog and client. Guide dogs such as Debbie go to a socialization person until they are about three months old. Then they’re off to a puppy-raising family where they have home training and simple obedience training every day. Before the dogs are matched with blind and visually impaired people, they are assigned a guide dog instructor, who works with each dog for at least five months. Horne says her days at the New York school were intense. The students had to rise about 6 a.m. to feed, wa-
ter and park their dogs outside, in their pajamas. “This is a group of blind people, so pajamas don’t matter,” Horne says. The rest of the day’s interactions with their dogs lasted until 9:30 or 10 each night. Horne took her showers with Debbie lying on a rug just outside the shower door. Debbie slept in a crate beside her bed. Back in Rowan County, Horne and Debbie are still learning about each other, still falling deeper in love. They’ve gone to the beach together and successfully
have shopped in stores, worshiped in church and eaten in restaurants together. The well-mannered Debbie already is an honorary member of the Rockwell Lions Club. Horne is a little concerned about Debbie’s weight gain, scolding her husband, Wayne, for feeding her treats on the side. Debbie has gone from 58 to 65 pounds since they have come from New York. More walking could be in the team’s future. Debbie will lead the way.

Guide dogs are working animals. Don’t pet, call to or otherwise distract them while they’re in harness. A dog in harness is on duty, even when sitting or lying down. Always try to give the right of way to a guide dog team, whether you are in a car, on a bike or on foot. Don’t feed a guide dog. A guide dog’s diet and feeding times are strictly monitored for good health and reliable schedules. If you wish to assist a person with a guide dog, first ask if you can be of help. If your assistance is accepted, offer your left elbow. Do not grab the guide dog, leash, harness or the person’s arm. Guide dog users have been taught the proper and humane way to maintain their dog’s training, using verbal reprimands and leash corrections. Guide dogs get loads of praise for jobs well done. Federal and state laws allow a guide dog the right of access everywhere the public is allowed, even in restaurants and grocery stores.

Sur-mountable deficit ‘Phantom’ strikes with game on line
G
RANITE QUARRY — The subjects were focus and concentration. The pupil: slender East Rowan reliever Will Johnson. And the lesson he taught visiting Tuscola in Game 1 of the 3A state semifinals Thursday night was as old as dirt. “I just throw strikes and let the defense work for me,” he said at Staton Field, the classroom where it all played out. “I don’t throw it hard, but I throw strikes. And I don’t throw inside. And I pray a lot.” For two innings the deceptive left-hander did it all in East’s 5-3 triumph. DAVID He used his slow, slower, SHAW slowest repertoire of fastballs to befuddle the guests from Waynesville. Without cracking the speed limit — or offering any sort of complementary show pitch — he recorded his second consecutive six-out save and lifted the Mustangs within one victory of a final-round berth. “I don’t know how he does it,” East catcher Luke Thomas said. “There really isn’t a good explanation. We call him ‘The Phantom’ because it looks like people are just swinging through his pitches and not hitting them.” As East’s third pitcher of the night, Johnson entered in the top of sixth inning, just after his JOHNSON teammates had spent 20 minutes batting around and scoring five times to take the lead. He survived the sixth without incident, yielding just an infield hit sandwiched around a strikeout and a pair of infield popups to shortstop Preston Troutman. “Yeah,” Johnson said, trimming his comments to the nub. “Troutman made some great plays. I’m glad he was there to catch them.” It’s a scenario we’ve witnessed before. “That’s what Johnson does,” East pitching coach Brian Hatley said. “It may not look like he knows what he’s doing, he doesn’t have much to say, but he knows how to pitch. His big thing is locating the ball and changing speeds. He works the outside corner and keeps it low.” Johnson — 5-0 with four saves and a miniscule 0.57 ERA this spring — was at his tantalizing best in the top of seventh, which opened when Tuscola’s Walton Shepherd punched a leadoff single into center field.

Mustangs climb out of hole with five-run 5th BY MIKE LONDON

GRANITE QUARRY — Confined to E. Rowan 5 the dugout Tuscola 3 after a vigorous dispute of a third-inning call at first base, East Rowan coach Brian Hightower had a more restricted view than usual of Staton Field. He still watched his team find a way to win in a place
where it’s always been close to unbeatable. The Mustangs scored five runs in the fifth to rally past Tuscola 5-3 in the opener of the best-of-three 3A Western championship series Thursday night. East is 16-0 at Staton this season, so it’s a huge edge to be the host team for this entire series. Tuscola has belted 41 homers, but East kept the Mountaineers in the ballpark. Tuscola is in Waynesville, nearly three hours to the west.
The Pioneers had to bus home last night with the intention of attending school today, and they’ll have to come all the way back to Staton for Game 2 tonight, hoping to force a decisive Game 3 on Saturday. Having one team doing all the traveling for this critical series is a new concept. Ordinarily, teams rotate home games, but the NCHSAA made a change this spring.

CONCORD — Ryan Newman got nervous when he discovered in practice the fastest way around Charlotte Motor Speedway was by hugging the outside wall. The expert qualifier gulped and decided to take the high line Thursday night. Newman captured his second straight CocaCola 600 pole and the ninth in 19 Sprint Cup races at NEWMAN the track. All it required was what he called “the most courageous lap” he’s run here. He was clocked at 187.546 mph and barely beat out AllStar race winner Kurt Busch, who will start second Sunday. “I’ve never run into a corner at 200 mph up against the wall and made it stick and still come out the other end,” Newman said.
GRANITE QUARRY — A student body president with floorburns? Meet East Rowan senior and future Brevard volleyball player Amanda Possidente. “I came out of our volleyball season with some pretty roughlooking knees,” Possidente said proudly. Possidente’s surname rolls off her tongue so musically, you wonder if maybe she’s an exchange student from Rome or Naples, but she grew up near East. “Oh, I’m about 30 seconds away,” she said. “That’s why I just about live at school.” Her life story isn’t complicated. She was a basic basketball girl until she arrived at East for the ninth grade and was bitten by the volleyball bug. “I’d never played it because we don’t have middle school volleyball programs, but I got interested in the sport in ninth grade,” Possidente said. “I remember my freshman year, trying so very hard, and still not being any good.” Possidente is only 5-foot-4, but

Senior moment for Potts BY MIKE LONDON
mlondon@salisburypost.com
GRANITE QUARRY — East Rowan’s softball team tries to qualify for the Final Four for the first time since 1996 when it takes on Concord Robinson (23-3) at home today at 5 p.m. As East’s only senior, co-captain Kayla Potts has even more at stake than her young teammates. A loss would put her catching equipment in the closet permanently.
Good catchers, like good umpires, go unnoticed. That’s the case with Potts. She rarely has to chase a wild pitch or passed ball to the backstop, and opponents rarely attempt to steal. “This year has been the fewest stolen bases we’ve ever given up,” Potts said. “But when you’ve got Chelsea White pitching, there aren’t usually a lot of people on base to steal.”

Amanda Possidente plans to play collegiate volleyball at Brevard. she’s a good athlete. She was 10th in the triple jump at the recent Rowan Country track meet, and she scored points for East’s track team this season in the sprints. Once she devoted her energy to volleyball she started making strides. “For some people volleyball comes naturally — but for me, it didn’t,” Possidente said. “I had to work at it, but I just practiced and practiced and practiced. I found out I had a passion for it.” Eventually, she found her niche — as East’s libero.

Artest’s buzzer-beating putback saves Lakers BY GREG BEACHAM Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Ron Artest stumLakers 103 bled into Los Suns 101 A n g e l e s Lakers playoff lore with one remarkable bank shot to beat the Phoenix Suns. Artest rambled into the lane and beat the buzzer with a wild shot after rebounding Kobe Bryant’s miss, and the Lakers edged the Suns 103-101 on Thursday night to take a 3-2 lead in the Western Conference finals. Bryant had 30 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists for the Lakers, but the improbable hero of Game 5 is the only new
player on the roster of the defending champions, who are one win away from the NBA finals. “I missed a lot of layups during the regular season,” Artest said. “I’m just staying with it and trying to stay focused and play my part, see what happens.” Something incredible happened: Artest’s basket completed a 2-for-9 shooting night, an otherwise awful performance redeemed by one supremely heady offensive rebound. Jason Richardson banked in a straightaway 3-pointer with 3.5 seconds left to tie it for the Suns. Phoenix clawed back from an 18-point deficit in the second half with a superb
game by Steve Nash, who had 29 points and 11 assists. Bryant then missed a difficult shot from the sideline, but Artest collected the rebound and raised to his tiptoes while throwing up a hideous shot that somehow went in. Artest, who missed two open jumpers just a few seconds earlier, grabbed Bryant in a joyous bear hug while the Staples Center crowd went nuts. “I thought Kobe got fouled on the shot, so I figured it was going to be a little short,” Artest said. “And it was short.” Game 6 is Saturday night in Phoenix, where the Lakers can clinch the chance to play for their 16th championship. “Everything is OK,” Nash said. “We can’t knock a great
effort. I think we deserved this game.” Led by Nash’s stirring second-half effort, the Suns hacked away at Los Angeles’ lead throughout the fourth quarter. Phoenix trimmed its deficit to 95-94 when Nash converted a three-point play and then fed Amare Stoudemire for a layup that barely beat the shot clock with 2:52 left. The Lakers led 101-96 with 1:38 remaining, but Nash hit another jumper and Artest missed twice, the home crowd yelling in frustration with each open brick. “He has an uncanny knack of doing things, and sometimes it just works out,” Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. “He just has a knack.”
Celtics hope to avoid Bruins’ fate, reach finals BY JIMMY GOLEN Associated Press
BOSTON — It’s a good thing for the Boston Celtics that the NBA rescinded Kendrick Perkins’ technical foul and nixed his suspension. He might be the only big man they have left to guard Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard. Perkins was ejected from Boston’s 113-92 loss to Orlando in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals on Wednesday after picking up two technicals in the first half. The league rescinded one on Thursday, clearing Perkins to play in Game 6 when Boston tries for the third time to eliminate the Magic and advance to the NBA finals.
“We know what we haven’t done and what we need to do,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said Thursday. “I think we’ll be ready to do it tomorrow night.” Even with Perkins, the Celtics will still be short-handed trying to slow down Howard, who has averaged 26 points and 13 rebounds in the last two games as the Magic twice avoided elimination. Backup Glen “Big Baby” Davis was diagnosed with a concussion after blacking out on the court from Howard’s inadvertent elbow to his face in Game 5. Rasheed Wallace tweaked his back in the game and couldn’t even sit down to watch film Thursday. Rivers said they are both gametime decisions. Marquis
Daniels also sustained a concussion, and he has been all but ruled out for tonight’s game. “Our mentality is: We just have to lace them up and go play,” Rivers said. “We have a lot of bumps and bruises right now, but we’ll be OK.” The Celtics need a victory to avoid a trip back to Orlando for a seventh game, where a Magic victory would make it the first team in NBA history to come back from a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-seven playoff series. “I didn’t like being in a 3-0 hole, but it’s still doable. I don’t think we’ve had a lack of belief,” Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy said. “We can’t go back and get those first three. ... I don’t know why we didn’t get at it, I don’t know why we did-
n’t play with the same type of energy in the first three games. I really do not know.” Only four times in North American pro sports history has a team come back from a 3-0 deficit. But the Magic wouldn’t even be the first to do it this month in Boston: The Bruins led the NHL’s Eastern Conference semis 3-0 before the Philadelphia Flyers came back to advance — celebrating in the very same TD Garden locker room where the Magic dress. “I would doubt that players would get affected by what happened in another sport,” Van Gundy said. “I would have a hard time believing that. I don’t think most of our guys on any of our teams follow hockey very much.”
Eight starts makes Moore a vet with Panthers BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press
CHARLOTTE — When Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback Jimmy Clausen gets confused during voluntary workouts this week, he turns to Matt Moore. “Jimmy’s coming over to me all the time with, ‘Hey what’s up with this and what’s up with this?”’ Moore said Thursday. Moore’s answer? “I don’t know,” he said, shrugging and smiling at the same time. Moore then chuckled in acknowledging that with eight NFL starts, he’s suddenly the grizzled veteran among the league’s youngest group of quarterbacks. None of the other three on Carolina’s roster — Clausen, fellow rookie Tony Pike and second-year pro Hunter Cantwell — have taken a snap in a regular-season NFL game. The eight combined starts is by far the fewest of any NFL team. St. Louis is next with 19,
with 15 by A.J. Feeley, who was with Carolina last season. Moore was declared the starter after the Panthers decided in MOORE March to release Jake Delhomme, the team’s quarterback since 2003. Moore’s hold on the job became less secure a month later when the Panthers ended Clausen’s stunning fall in the draft by snagging him with the 38th pick. The former Notre Dame star’s progress this week is being closely monitored, but Moore isn’t ready to concede after going 4-1 as a starter to close last season. Moore, who went undrafted out of Oregon State in 2007, also must serve as a mentor to Clausen and the rest of the youngsters in the QB meeting room. “It’s been good to have that role,” Moore said. “That’s how Jake was to me and to have
that role, with experience, guys are going to come to you with questions. It’s been really, really good. It’s different.” The offseason workouts have been different this week, too. Fox, who embraces a rigid routine, has dramatically changed the format to focus almost exclusively on the passing game. “As far as output last year, we were more efficient running the football than we were passing,” Fox said. “We’ve got a young bunch of quarterbacks and receiving corps, so we want to emphasize that. And I’m of the belief you get what you emphasize. So that’s a little different from years’ past.” While some predict Clausen is Carolina’s QB of the future, Moore is determined to build off last season. He threw eight touchdown passes and two interceptions with a 98.5 passer rating in the first extended action since his rookie year. “Whenever you’re put in the starter position you have a lot more confidence, especially at
the quarterback position. He is the leader of the offense,” center Ryan Kalil said. “What he does and how he runs it reflects on all of us. “It’s a lot different now that Matt is kind of the guy. He has a lot of competition behind him, so it’s exciting to see guys grow and see the team grow in general. Matt’s done a great job in the past, and we don’t expect anything less from him now.” The Panthers won’t practice in pads until training camp begins in July, so the real test for Moore, Clausen, Cantwell and Pike will come in the preseason. Moore, a laid back California native, thinks his somewhat thin resume won’t be an obstacle. “Experience is big. You’re right, the eight starts isn’t much, but it’s there,” Moore said. “You’ve been in the fight and things like that. Yes, these guys that haven’t played, when they do get the experience, you change quickly. Although it isn’t a lot, there’s something to be said for the little time I have spent in there.”

Will Sapp makes a key running catch in the fourth.
It seems unfair, but while his team must take the long road, Tuscola coach Caleb McConnell took the high road when discussing his plight. “The way we’re looking at it is we’ve got to win two ballgames,” he said. “Doesn’t really matter which two. Doesn’t really matter where or when we win them.” East (28-2) was dealing with its own disadvantage. The Mustangs won their fourth-round game on Wednesday, and Tuscola had one day off after clinching its spot in the series on Tuesday. Beyond that, East ace Thomas Allen remains questionable with a forearm issue. Preston Troutman, the rocket-armed shortstop, was a surprise starter on the mound for East last night. “I surprised myself that I started Preston,” Hightower said with a chuckle. “But Tuscola’s a free-swinging, power-hitting team, and we thought he might be a good matchup.” Troutman was OK, but the Mountaineers (22-4) smacked some bullets in the second inning, including doubles by David Atwood and Billy Lirely, to score three times. “They can hit,” Troutman said. “I hung a few pitches, but mostly they just hit the ball. We can’t make mistakes against that team.”
“It’s not like we were ripping it, but we do pride ourselves on being able to put the ball in play,” Hightower said. Holmes delivered the goahead RBI on an infield hit even though Howard, Tuscola’s second baseman, nearly made a miraculous play. Then Andy Austin knocked in a run to make it 5-3. East’s bullpen made that lead stand up. Winner Alex Bost got four outs. Will Johnson worked a pressure-packed sixth and seventh. JON C.

“I knew,” Johnson quickly assessed, “that I had to get out of that inning.” Meanwhile, over in the Tuscola dugout, the meat of the order was salivating at the bat rack. “It felt like you could just sit on the fastball,” said cleanup batter David Atwood, a .450 hitter. “We all wanted to get up there. But you had to be patient against him.” Teammate Tyler Brosius found out the hard way — or, in this case, the soft way. A python-armed slugger with 13 home runs and a football scholarship to N.C. State tucked in his back pocket, he was fanned on three pitches for the game’s most important out. “After we got the first two strikes,” Thomas recalled, “I told (Johnson) to keep it away and hoped he’d chase something off the plate. It worked out perfectly. That last ball was a good 3 feet outside.” Brosius could have kicked himself. “I didn’t wait on it,” he said. “I committed too soon. You need to sit back and drive that ball to right field. I didn’t.” In the East dugout, Hatley breathed a massive sigh of relief. “Johnson didn’t want to

Johnson chuckled when he heard that account. “Nah,” he said. “That was just a fastball that I slowed down.” Thomas, squatted behind
the plate, was momentarily spooked by the delivery. “When that pitch was coming in, it looked like something he was gonna kill,” he said. “But in typical Johnson fashion, he got the batter to swing right through it.” And in typical Johnson fashion, he induced a gameending groundout, setting off a wild celebration. “Every time, I go out there and focus on getting people out,” he said. “That’s my job. That’s all I can do.”

Braves defeat Florida Associated Press
MIAMI, Fla. — Martin Prado had three hits and drove in two runs, leading the Atlanta Braves to an 8-3 win over the Florida Marlins on Thursday. Chipper Jones and Yunel Escobar each reached base three times and drove in a run in a game delayed by rain 1 hour, 17 minutes. The Braves have won seven of nine. Peter Moylan (2-0) pitched an inning in relief of Tim Hudson, who didn’t return after the delay. He allowed two runs and five hits in four innings. Mets 3, Phillies 0 NEW YORK — Mike P e l frey and the New Mets pulled off a most extraordinary pitching feat, shutting out hard-hitting Philadelphia for the third straight game. It marked the first time since 1983 that Philadelphia was blanked three days in a row. Pelfrey (7-1) followed knuckleballer R.A. Dickey and Japanese newcomer Hisanori Takahashi as the Mets threw back-to-back-to-back shutouts for the first time since 1988. Reds 8, Pirates 2 CINCINNATI — Scott Rolen’s three-run homer started an early splurge off Charlie Morton — the major leagues’ leader in losses — and the Reds rolled to their best record since 2006. The NL Central leaders have won 21 of their last 30 games, moving a season-high eight over .500 at 28-20. Cincinnati batted around in each of the first two innings for seven runs off Morton (1-9). Cardinals 8, Padres 3 SAN DIEGO — Albert Pujols hit his first homer and drove in his first runs in 11 games, and Brendan Ryan tied a career high with four hits. Pujols, who was homerless with no RBIs since May 14 at Cincinnati, ripped a solo home run and nearly had another to help the Cardinals avoid their first three-game sweep against San Diego in nearly 15 years. Rockies 8, Diamondbacks 2 DENVER — Seth Smith, Carlos Gonzalez and Ryan Spilborghs hit consecutive homers in the seventh inning. Troy Tulowitzki also homered. Arizona was behind 4-2 before the Rockies exploded off Dan Haren (5-4) in the seventh. Cubs 1, Dodgers 0 CHICAGO — Ted Lilly pitched seven scoreless innings, and Tyler Colvin had an RBI double in the eighth. Giants 5, Nationals 4 SAN FRANCISCO — Freddy Sanchez hit a tiebreaking, two-run single in the seventh inning after earlier getting hit in the face by a spiked cleat. Brewers 4, Astros 3 (10) MILWAUKEE — Matt Lidstom walked Rickie Weeks with the bases full in the 10th. AMERICAN LEAGUE Royals 4, Red Sox 3 BOSTON — Brian Bannister pitched six strong innings and David DeJesus drove in two runs as Kansas City snapped Boston’s five-game winning streak. Daisuke Matsuzaka (3-2) walked a season-high eight while allowing three runs over 4-plus innings. He walked five batters in the fifth inning. Rays 5, White Sox 1 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Evan Longoria and Carl Crawford homered for Tampa Bay and Jeff Niemann went to 5-0. Niemann limited the White Sox to singles by Alex Rios and Gordon Beckham before giving up a solo homer to Mark Teahen leading off the eighth. Athletics 7, Orioles 5 BALTIMORE — Kevin Kouzmanoff doubled in three runs to cap a five-run eighth for Oakland, which won its second road series of the year. Twins 8, Yankees 2 MINNEAPOLIS — Jason Kubel hit two home runs and had five RBIs for the Twins. Kubel hit a solo homer in the sixth, a three-run shot in the seventh and had an RBI double for the Twins, who had gone eight games and 349 plate appearances without a home run before he broke the skid. Javier Vazquez (3-5) a l lowed five runs and eight hits in 5-plus innings. Minnesota is 18-54 against the Yankees since Ron Gardenhire took over as manager in 2002, and it’s 725-572 against everyone else.

Hamlin, Busch feuding Associated Press
CONCORD — Just as Kyle Busch settled into a chair in the media center Thursday, someone dropped a package in front of him. It was a FedEx box. That’s Denny Hamlin’s NASCAR sponsor. Busch smiled, opened it up and found a pair of boxing gloves inside. Busch initially shrugged off the gag that came five days after his ontrack altercation with Hamlin in the All-Star race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, but Busch then sounded like he might consider going a round or two with his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate. If so, Hamlin is ready. Ding, ding. “Kyle brings this stuff on himself, and he gets mad at the media for asking him questions about his blowups,” Hamlin said. “But he does it to himself. I don’t want to be part of it. Any drama that he wants to create is on him. Anything he says on the radio is on him. “All I’m going to say, and I’m going to be done with it, is that each year I think Kyle’s going to grow and he just doesn’t. Until he puts it all together, that’s when he’ll become a champion, and right now he just doesn’t have himself all together.”
NEWMAN FROM 1B
“To have the courage to put yourself in that position is tough enough, let alone doing it, pulling it off and winning that pole. I’ve never been a guy to run the wall, let alone in qualifying.” No active driver has more poles at Charlotte than Newman, who moved within five of David Pearson’s track record. Now he’d like to finally turn it into success in NASCAR’s longest race. Newman has never won a Sprint Cup event at Charlotte. “It’s been easier for me to go out and run one lap and do it fast than it is to go out and run 600 miles
Although Busch insisted he and Hamlin have moved on from last weekend’s incident, he didn’t back down from radio chatter in which he threatened to kill Hamlin. Any regrets? “Absolutely not,” Busch said. “It was the heat of the moment and that’s who I am and that’s my expression and I am not going to be sorry for what I say. It’s freedom of speech. “I was frustrated. ... It was a saying that is said a lot, and take it for what it’s worth. ... It wasn’t joking, but it wasn’t going to happen. It wasn’t meant (like I was going to kill him). With what? With my great looks?”
Former NASCAR driver Steve Park will return to Daytona International Speedway in July and attempt to qualify for the Sprint Cup race in a car paying tribute to late modified legend Richie Evans. Park will drive the No. 36 Chevrolet for Tommy Baldwin Racing. It will be sponsored by fans and have each donor’s name integrated into the paint scheme. Evans, dubbed the “king of modified racing,” was fatally injured during practice at Martinsville in 1985.
fast,” Newman said. “I could do that, it’s just a matter of putting yourself in the track position, putting yourself in the right position, right tires, a good pit crew and things like that.” Newman will have plenty of competition Sunday. Busch’s lap of 187.292 mph came five days after he won the $1 million All-Star prize. “It’s just a good vibe we have,” Busch said. “Things are going good, and hopefully we can get it put together for the full 600 miles.” Martin Truex Jr. will start third, followed by Kasey Kahne, Jimmie Johnson and defending champion David Reutimann. Denny Hamlin qualified seventh and Kyle Busch ninth. Points leader Kevin Harvick qualified 23rd and Dale Earnhardt Jr. 24th.

Duke visits White House BY BEN FELLER Associated Press
WASHINGTON — This is what you get for ever picking North Carolina, Mr. President. President Barack Obama on Thursday heaped praise on the Duke men’s basketball team for winning the NCAA championship last month — a Blue Devils squad that capped its run in one of the more exciting title games in recent memory, a 61-59 contest against Butler that came down to the final shot. But standing in the Rose Garden on a sticky day, Obama was still taking heat for (correctly) picking North Carolina, Duke’s rival, to win it all in 2009. Duke’s coach, Mike Krzyzewski, jokingly bristled a bit at Obama then and said the president should sticking to fixing the economy. “It was nothing personal,� Obama joked on Thursday with the coach and team standing behind him. “Just trying to win some money.� A smiling Krzyzewski returned the favor by giving Obama a framed copy of this year’s winning bracket — with Duke right in the center. Obama lauded Duke for growing as a team and being part of their community. After their moment at the White House, the players and coaches were headed to the Penta-

The president commended the coach for his style, quoting Krzyzewski’s philosophy as saying a team is like a hand, which can attack with more force when it comes together like a fist. “Very subtle, coach,� Obama said. The hoops-loving Obama spent time talking to the players and taking photos before the ceremony. It came on a day when he also was announcing his latest steps on Gulf Coast oil spill, holding a news conference, meeting privately with former President Bill Clinton and hosting Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. “For him to take the time out to greet us in such a way is just terrific,� Krzyzewski said.

POSSIDENTE FROM 1B
That’s the back-row defensive specialist who wears a different jersey color from here teammates and spends whole matches doing nothing but dirty work. Liberos don’t get to attack. They just dig. That’s where the rough knees came in. Possidente doesn’t like bulky knee pads. She prefers the ones that are the size of band-aids. “I just try to be low and quick and all over the place,� Possidente said with a laugh. Karen Garmon was Possidente’s volleyball coach as a senior, and Possidente credits Garmon with elevating her game. “As a senior, I just played with much more con-
fidence,� said Possidente, who made the all-county team. “I started having confidence that I could even play at the college level.� Possidente traveled to several all-day High Performance volleyball camps, some more than an hour away, and found out she could compete with lots of strong players. Garmon had introduced Possidente to Brevard coach Brenda Skeffington. At one of those camps, Skeffington asked Possidente if she’d be interested in playing for the Tornados. Possidente was overwhelmed. It was a dreamcome-true moment. “I told Coach that she didn’t really look that much like a warm and fuzzy per-
son, but that I was a warm and fuzzy person and I really needed to give her a hug,� Possidente said. “She said a hug would be fine.� Possidente liked the school when she visited and liked the players even more. “It was my fit,� she said. Brevard, a private school in the SAC, is expensive, but Possidente is a great student who has accumulated enough academic and leadership scholarships to take care of 75 percent of the cost. She hopes to do well enough in volleyball to earn athletic money starting her sophomore year. “No money my first year, but it’s not about the money,� she said. “This is an opportunity to do something I love with people I like.�
Possidente plans to major in a health-related field, but most of her current thoughts are on figuring out ways to prevent volleyballs from hitting the floor. When her future coach called recently to offer a choice of jersey numbers, Possidente turned cartwheels about getting No. 2. “That’s Derek Jeter! Go Yankees!� she whooped. Skeffington’s most recent call was to let Possidente know practice starts Aug. 15 and to come prepared for two grueling weeks of three-a-days. Not a problem. “Volleyball three times a day?� Possidente said cheerfully. “I haven’t stopped grinning since she called.�

Dear Dr. Gott: I get severe leg cramps when I use Benadryl. Is it because I get dry
Dear Reader: There are a number of different Benadryl products on the market, each containing different inactive ingredients. And, as I have reported on countless occasions, all medications can carry side effects. As you have discovered, a common one in many Benadryl products is dry mouth. Furthermore, diphenhydramine/ ibuprofen can cause numbness of an arm or leg and unusual joint or muscle pain. Consider a trial without this medication. If your symptoms stop, you will have the answer. If you feel you need an antihistamine, speak with your physician regarding a substitution. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online. His website is www.AskDrGottMD. com. UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE, INC.

Ingrid Bergman said, “I’ve never sought success in order to get fame and money; it’s the talent and the passion that count in success.” In American duplicate tournaments, where there are no prizes, it’s talent and counting that result in success. The more counting you and your partner do, the more successful you will be — and the more masterpoints you will accumulate to count. This deal highlights an important aspect of defensive counting. You are East, defending against three no-trump. Partner leads the club queen. What would you do? North is a trick too strong for his three-diamond rebid, but anything else would be a gamble. (A

three-no-trump rebid would show this strong a hand, but the lack of a stopper in either of the unbid suits is a monster minus. If North-South belong in three no-trump, South ought to be the declarer.) First, read partner’s lead — what does it tell you? Since West is leading top

He has two hearts, seven diamonds (even if South is void, West’s queen-doubleton is dropping) and one club (that king). So, it cannot be right to win with the club ace and return a club. Declarer will claim at least one overtrick. The only chance for the defense is to cash four spade tricks now. You must win with your club ace and shift to the spade queen — bingo!

Dear Reader: You have certainly set up a confusing smoke screen for me. Tobacco use is known to affect circulation, but you don’t smoke. Alcohol can adversely affect the system, but you don’t drink. Some medications cause chills, but you don’t take any. Your thyroid is functioning normally, so that isn’t a contributing factor. Menopause can cause hot flashes but can also, in a small percentage of women, cause chills. However, you were 47 when you visited the hospital. That’s relatively early for menopause, which
is common for women in their early 50s. This natural biological process occurs once a woman has been free of menstrual periods for one year. Perhaps you have perimenopause, a transitional condition prior to menopause that can occur as early as the mid-30s or 40s and last up to eight years. As with menopause, hormonal changes occur and estrogen levels rise and fall. A common symptom, however, is hot flashes, not chills. Your physician can order simple laboratory testing to determine whether you are in either stage of menopause. Other possible causes are infections of any type, such as strep throat or dental issues, autoimmune disorders, leukemia and lymphoma. Along these lines, you might choose to speak with your physician regarding additional testing to rule out other possible causes. Once you cover all the bases, you can put your mind at ease on at least a few of the possibilities for your chills. To provide related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Menopause.” Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. Be sure to mention the title or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com.

Dear Dr. Gott: I have cold chills all the time. Even in the summer, I wear long sleeves and pants while others are wearing shorts. It started about five years ago, when my father was dying in the hospital. I thought I may have picked up a virus while visiting, but it hasn’t gone away. I don’t take any meds, don’t smoke, I am healthy, and my thyroid is OK. The doctors can’t explain it. My nose is red all the time, and people tease me and say I drink too much, but I don’t drink at all. I get goose bumps, and DR. PETER the hair stands GOTT up on my arms. I’m a 52-year-old female. Is it possible to be having cold chills instead of hot flashes? I hope you can help me.

Rape conviction upheld
Appeals court finds no errors after case that led to 110-year sentence BY JESSIE BURCHETTE

n harness, Debbie struts smartly down the lane heading to Rimer Road. She’ll have to lead Freda Horne, her owner and constant companion, to the mailbox on the other side. Motorists going by aren’t exactly looking for a visually impaired woman and her guide dog on this stretch of country road in eastern Rowan County, so they drive pretty fast. The dog-woman team walk across without difficulty, and Horne fishes the mail out of the box. Before heading back, Horne listens for cars and hears two vehicles approaching from the direction of Castor Road. So she waits as they fly by. Had MARK she not heard them, Horne WINEKA says later in the front yard, Debbie would have blocked her path. That’s what her training as a guide dog has taught her. “I can’t imagine life without her,” Horne says of the 2-year-old yellow Labrador. Debbie and Horne first met each other almost two months ago at the Guiding Eyes for the Blind campus in Yorktown Heights, N.Y. It was the third day of the 26-day school, and at that first meeting, they were left alone together in Horne’s bedroom. Things didn’t go well. Debbie wanted nothing to do with Freda and kept pulling on her leash while scrambling toward the
door. Horne cried on the side of her bed for more than an hour. “She didn’t like me,” Horne says. The trainer eventually came in to reassure her. “These dogs are more stressed than you are,” he said. “Don’t worry about it.” Horne eventually walked with Debbie outside, and that seemed to ease the dog’s anxiety. She then fed Debbie and made sure she had enough water before taking her out again, where the dog did her “busy, busy.” Debbie soon gave Freda one of those looks of affection that even a visually impaired person can’t mistake, and the new team had bonded. “That was it,” Horne says. They were inseparable the next 23 days as they ate, worked, played and slept side by side. Debbie already had learned the commands and responsibilities of a guide dog before meeting Horne. “I was the one who had to be trained at the school,” Freda explains. Guiding Eyes matched Debbie up with Horne, who recently completed training in New Horne because the dog’s personality York, gets her mail with the help of Debbie. seemed a good fit with Freda’s family and lifestyle.

Gas prices down as travelers hit the highways Staff reports
Good weather, lower gas prices and falling unemployment are encouraging more people to hit the road this Memorial Day weekend, according to AAA Carolinas. AAA estimates the “trifecta of good news,” as the motor club calls it, will draw 775,000 North Carolina motorists to travel this weekend, a 3 percent increase over last year. They should be prepared for sunny skies, vigilant state troopers and heavy race traffic. Thousands of vehicles will

South Carolina has some of the lowest gasoline prices in the country with an average of $2.62. AAA says hotel bookings are up 9 percent over last Memorial Day, and Carolinians have reserved about 20 percent more rental cars this holiday compared to last year.

The N.C. Court of Appeals has upheld the conviction of a Salisbury man charged with rape and sentenced to 110 years in jail. Glorbman Brown, 40, was convicted in March 2009 for first-degree rape of a child and first-degree sexual offense with the child who was under 12 years old at the time. The incidents occurred in 2002-2003. Brown’s attorney had appealed the conviction to the N.C. Court Appeals, claiming the state should not have allowed prejudicial testimony — evidence of the defendant’s refusal to allow testing and profanity used to officers. The attorney also claimed the court should have declared a mistrial due to a BROWN jury issue. Earlier this month, the N.C. Court of Appeals upheld the conviction, finding no errors in the trial. Assistant District Attorney Karen Biernacki prosecuted the case. Spencer Police conducted the investigation after the child told her father’s girlfriend of the rapes. The child was checked at the Child Advocacy Center at Carolinas Medical Center-NorthEast in Concord. The child was diagnosed with chlamydia and doctors found evidence of sexual activity. Law enforcement obtained a court order to have Glorbman tested, taking him to LabCorp, where he refused to have his blood drawn. Later, he had his blood tested on the advice of his attorney and it was positive for chlamydia. He was treated for chlamydia and other sexually transmitted diseases while in the Rowan County Detention Center. The records of the testing and treatment were introduced in the trial. During the jury phase of the trial, one juror asked to be excused after deliberations began. She advised the court she was not being treated with respect and was being ridiculed for her opinions. Judge John Holshouser sent the jurors home for the day, urging everyone to calm down and start fresh the next day. Jurors returned and completed their work, returning some guilty and some not guilty verdicts. Holshouser consolidated six felonies into three consecutive sentences with a total of 90 to 110 years. When the case was tried in Rowan County Superior Court last year, it was the oldest case in the court system. Brown is currently in the Marion Correctional facility after a stay in Central Prison. His projected release date is June 5, 2094.
Man shot in head during Kannapolis home invasion

Notice the “most.” The three exceptions to the road construction shutdown include two stretches of road in the Piedmont: • I-85 South in Guilford County is reduced to two lanes at Exit 113 (N.C. 62) due to construction of the I-73/U.S. 311 Bypass. • Both directions of I-40 in Greensboro are reduced to two
KANNAPOLIS — A 27-year-old man remains in critical condition after being shot in a home invasion early Thursday. Charles A. Edwards was taken to Carolinas Medical Center-NorthEast, where he was being treated for life-threatening injuries. Kannapolis Police responded to a call at 632 Barlow Ave. at 12:45 a.m. Barlow Avenue is off Bethpage Road, a short distance off South Main Street in Cabarrus County. Witnesses told officers that at least three people forced their way into the residence. During a confrontation inside the home, Edwards was shot in the head by one of the men.

House education panel’s budget plan would keep more teachers on job RALEIGH (AP) — More public school teachers would be protected from layoffs and the University of North Carolina system would take a bigger financial hit under a House budget plan approved Thursday by a key committee that diverges from a spending proposal offers by the Senate. The education subcommittee, which proposes spending for more than half of the state’s budget, would use $90 million in North Carolina Education Lottery profits beyond what the Senate recommended in the budget it approved last week to hire teachers to reduce class sizes in early grades. The lottery money, most of which would come from reserves and $73
million in higher-than-anticipated net revenues for the next fiscal year, would prevent an additional 1,635 teaching and teaching assistant positions from being eliminated statewide, said Rep. Rick Glazier, D-Cumberland, the education subcommittee’s co-chairman. The public schools “should be in a position where there should not be any additional classroom personnel that will lose their jobs” from any additional cuts, Glazier said. “We have strived to reduce every potential area where instructional personnel would have to be cut.” The $10.7 billion education plan, which will be incorporated into the full $18.9 billion spending proposal expected to be debated by the full

stock after having earlier sold borrowed shares in a bet that the market would fall. Though it’s difficult to determine how much lift short-covering might be giving stocks, the rush to cover misplaced bets can add to a rally. The steep gains Thursday were welcome after the Dow dropped eight of the prior 10 days. Twice this week, stocks have climbed for much of the day only to see the advances erased in late slides. The Dow rose 135 points Wednesday morning, but ended the day down about 69. The euro, which is seen as an indicator for confidence in the health of Europe’s economy, rose to $1.2358 Thursday a day after nearing the fouryear low it hit last week. The Dow rose 284.54, or 2.9 percent, to 10,258.99. It was the biggest gain for the Dow since it soared 405 points on May 10. The climb vaulted the Dow back above 10,000. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 35.11, or 3.3 percent, to 1,103.06. The Nasdaq composite index climbed 81.80, or 3.7 percent, to 2,277.68, putting it back in the black for 2010.
N.C., Va. looking into adding tolls on I-95 RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — As Virginia attempts to levy tolls on Interstate 95 at the North Carolina line, North Carolina is studying whether to do the same thing south of the border, Gov. Bob McDonnell said Thursday. McDonnell said on his monthly radio program that he still backs the idea of tolling inbound lanes of I-95 at Virginia’s southern boundary. North Carolina is conducting a two-year study into the needs of the 182-mile stretch of I-95 between the Virginia
and South Carolina lines, and how to pay for them. McDonnell proposed tolling northbound lanes of that interstate highway and I85 where they enter Virginia from North Carolina starting last year when he was running for governor. McDonnell repeated his refusal to consider a general increase in state taxes, particularly gasoline taxes. Tolling existing interstates, in either state, solely as a revenue source would require federal approval.

“In all of our previous analyses, we never imagined that reductions would reach this level,” Bowles said in a statement. “This level of cuts would force us to reduce the numbers of students that we can accept on our campuses. Our current students would find themselves in far larger classes and would find that courses they need for graduation are no longer offered or are only offered sporadically.” Glazier pointed out a study that showed North Carolina ranks second among states in spending on higher education as a percentage of personal income. Overall, the House would cut the state budget for the UNC system already in place for the coming year
by 3.4 percent. The Senate’s budget kept funding for UNC flat. The differences are some of what sets the stage for weeks of negotiations between the two chambers as they try to work out a compromise budget agreement to present to Gov. Beverly Perdue before July 1. The full House will vote on its budget by the end of next week. Perdue has raised worries that fellow Democrats in the Legislature are using lottery money to make up for dwindling tax revenues — the state is facing an $800 million revenue shortfall next year.

Stocks jump after China shows confidence in Europe NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks had another turnaround Thursday and rocketed higher after China reassured investors it doesn’t plan to sell the European debt it holds. The Dow Jones industrial average surged nearly 285 points. Treasury prices tumbled as traders funneled money into riskier assets like stocks and commodities. China’s show of confidence in Europe let the market resume a rally that stalled late Wednesday following a report that the Chinese government was considering cutting its European debt holdings. If that were true, such a move would have signaled that China didn’t think Europe would be able to contain its debt crisis. The agency that manages China’s $2.5 trillion in foreign reserves denied the report. Analysts also said some bounce has been expected after the slide that drove the Dow down 11 percent from its 2010 peak a month ago. Traders cautioned that this might not be a rally but merely a break in selling. Some of the climb could be tied to what’s called “shortcovering.” That occurs when traders are forced to buy
House Appropriations Committee next week, requires UNC campuses and administration to find $239 million in spending cuts for the coming school year. The UNC reductions, which the campuses can decide how to make, are $139 million more than the amount the Legislature had already directed the system to cut for the year starting July 1 in the two-year spending plan approved last summer. The Senate budget approved last week only sought $50 million more in reductions, or a total of $150 million. UNC system President Erskine Bowles said the cuts would result in the loss of 1,700 jobs and could lead the 17 campuses to limit enrollment.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House on Thursday delivered a victory to President Barack Obama and gay rights groups by approving a proposal to repeal the law that allows gays to serve in the military only if they don’t disclose their sexual orientation. The 234-194 vote to overturn the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy reflected a view among many in Congress that America was ready for a military in which gays and straights can stand side by side in the trenches. “I know that our military draws its strength on the integrity of our unified force, and current law challenges this integrity by creating two realities within the ranks,” Rep. Susan Davis, D-Calif., said. Republicans, who voted overwhelmingly against it, cited statements by some military leaders that they need more time to study how a change in the law could affect the lives and readiness of service members. The House vote came just hours after the Senate Armed Services Committee voted 16-12 in favor of repealing the 1993 law. Supporters stressed that the amendment was written so it would not go into effect until after the Pentagon publishes in December the results of a survey on how service members and their families view the change, and until the president, the defense secretary and the Joint Chiefs of Staff certify that the repeal will not affect the military’s ability to fight. The drive to repeal the ban still faces a tough road ahead in the full Senate, where Republicans are likely to filibuster it.
New Yorker who aided Peru rebel freed after 15 years LIMA, Peru (AP) — Activist Lori Berenson walked out of prison smiling Thursday but got a chilly reception from her new neighbors after serving three-quarters of a 20-year sentence for aiding leftist rebels. Now 40, the New Yorker spent more than a third of her life behind bars — getting married, giving birth, undergoing back surgery — but never denouncing the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement she was convicted of abetting. When she was arrested in 1995 with the wife of the group’s leader, prosecutors said Berenson was helping plot a takeover of Peru’s Congress. The following month, police found a forged ID card bearing her photo in a raid on a rebel safe house. But Berenson apparently became less strident over the years, many of them spent in frigid prisons in the high Andes. Documents her defense team provided to the judge who granted her parole Tuesday said Berenson had “recognized she committed errors” getting involved with the rebels.

S. Korea anti-submarine drills ‘Diff’rent Strokes’ star Gary come as North scraps accord Coleman in critical condition SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Military tension on the Korean peninsula rose after North Korea threatened to attack any South Korean ships entering its waters and Seoul held anti-submarine drills in response to the March sinking of a navy vessel blamed on Pyongyang. Separately, the chief U.S. military commander in South Korea criticized the North over the sinking of the South Korean warship Cheonan in which 46 sailors died, telling the communist country to stop its aggressive actions. North Korean reaction was swift. The military declared it would scrap accords with the South designed to prevent armed clashes at their maritime border, including the cutting of a military hot line, and warned of “prompt physical strikes” if any South Korean ships enter what the North says are its waters in a disputed area. North Korea has denied attacking the ship, which sank near disputed western waters where the Koreas have fought three bloody sea battles since 1999.
Mother convicted over Facebook spat with son
Police say 73 killed during Jamaica’s hunt for drug lord
ARKADELPHIA, Ark. (AP) — An woman who locked her son out of his Facebook account and posted her own items there was convicted of misdemeanor harassment and ordered not to have contact with the teenager. Clark County District Judge Randy Hill ordered Denise New to pay a $435 fine and complete anger-management and parenting classes. He said he would consider allowing her to see her 17-yearold son, Lane New, who lives with his grandmother, if she takes the courses. The mother and son testified they once had a good relationship but it began to deteriorate this spring. The Facebook postings arose when the boy declined to return a key to her home. She then refused to let him into the house. The judge also criticized the mother for using vulgarities in her messages.
KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — Jamaican security forces kicked down doors and arrested dozens of residents of a bullet-pocked slum on Thursday, and said the death toll from four days of fighting sparked by the search for a reputed drug lord has risen to 73. The target of the manhunt, Christopher “Dudus” Coke, hasn’t been found. “We are still searching for Mr. Coke,” said Deputy Police Chief Glenmore Hinds. “Certainly we can’t disclose where we are looking.” Hinds said police and soldiers have found 73 bodies, three of which were killed in incidents not related to the raid. “The 73 bodies we’re speaking about are all civilians,” Hinds said. “But civilians are sometimes gunmen and gunwomen.”
Oldest Medal of Honor recipient from WWII dies SAN DIEGO (AP) — Retired Navy Lt. John Finn — the first American to receive the nation’s highest military award for defending sailors under a torrent of gunfire during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor — died Thursday at age 100. Finn was the oldest of 97 Medal of Honor recipients from World War II still living. He died at a nursing home for veterans in Chula Vista, outside San Diego, according to a Navy statement. Despite head wounds and other injuries, Finn, the chief of ordnance for an air squadron, continuously fired a .50-caliber machine gun at Kaneohe Bay in Oahu. Finn, who enlisted in the Navy just before his 17th birthday, received the Medal of Honor on Sept. 15, 1942.
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Former child television star Gary Coleman is in critical condition near his Utah home with what his family calls a “serious medical problem.” Utah Valley Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Janet Frank said Coleman, 42, was admitted to the Provo facility on Wednesday but she couldn’t release any other details. The actor is best known for his stint on TV’s “Diff’rent Strokes,” which aired from 1978 to 1986. In COLEMAN February, Coleman suffered a seizure on the set of “The Insider.” Coleman’s Utah attorney, Randy Kester, said he had communicated by text message with Coleman’s wife, Shannon Price, and that the family did not want to release any additional details.

Bill could delay new broadband networks

Salisbury mayor travels to Raleigh to sway lawmakers B Y E LIZABETH C OOK
ecook@salisburypost.com
Salisbury Mayor Susan Kluttz traveled to Raleigh Wednesday to fight a bill that failed to make a promised exception for the city’s Fibrant broadband system. By the time she got to the Legislative Building, though, Sen. David Hoyle, D-Gaston, had pulled the bill from the Senate Finance Committee’s agenda, saying he would try to come up with a compromise. Anything less than freedom for cities to run their own fiber-optic systems will likely face a fight — a fight the cities must win, Kluttz says. Salisbury has already invested in its system, she says. “It’s not fair to change the rules on us.” Hoyle’s bill would force municipalities to get voter approval before borrowing money to build a competing broadband network. Salisbury has already borrowed $30 million to build its Fibrant fiber-optic network, which it will begin testing in a few months. Even if the bill included an exception for Salisbury, Kluttz says the requirement to get voter approval would hurt other cities and send the message that North Carolina is behind the times. “It would cripple all of us,” she said. Some three dozen N.C. municipalities have applied to be part of Google’s proposed fiber-optic network. The legislation would dash those hopes. It might also prevent the cities’ potential customers from getting the kind of reasonably priced, super-fast Internet service municipal officials say attracts high-tech industries — the kind of service telecom companies don’t offer in most areas. The Greenlight fiber-optic system owned by the city of Wilson boasts of the fastest residential Internet speed in North Carolina: 100 megabits per second, compared to 15 megabits offered to Time Warner residential customers in Wilson. The Wilson system, for which that city borrowed $28 million without a referendum, has nearly 5,000 customers for the cable, phone and Internet service it began offering in 2008. Recently the Independent Weekly of Durham reported on its website that Greenlight’s impact goes beyond its own customers. “Time Warner customers in Wilson are benefiting from Greenlight's competition,” Indy.com reported. “... Time Warner raised its prices for basic service in the Triangle— as much as 52 percent in Cary — but did not impose any rate hike in Wilson. Nor did the company increase prices in Wilson for the digital sports and games tier, while Triangle customers paid 41 percent more.” Hoyle’s bill is the latest in a series of efforts by telecom corporations to keep local governments out of the broadband business. “This is another iteration of the previous ones we have seen over the last three years that are designed to contain and cripple existing systems, and set the bar so high for new systems that it would be difficult for communities to move forward,” Doug Paris, Salisbury assistant city manager, told the Associated Press. Lining up against the telecom companies are the N.C. League of Municipalities and corporate giants Google and Intel. They argue that crimping municipal broadband could stifle economic growth in a wired age. Cable and phone companies have been urging the General Assembly to restrict municipal broadband services since a 2005 state appeals court ruling upheld the right

Officer who shot pit bull didn’t violate law BY EMILY FORD
eford@salisburypost.com
CONCORD — The Cabarrus County Animal Control officer who shot and killed a family’s pit bull last month did not violate the state’s animal cruelty law or the county’s animal control ordinance, the county attorney said. During a one-hour news conference Thursday, Rich Koch released his 10-page report on the shooting death of “Bella” the pit bull. Bella’s owners and their supporters attended the conference and occasionally reacted with disbelief as Koch and Jay White, chairman of the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners, summarized the findings. “There certainly in this case is uncontradicted evidence that the two dogs, Bella and Jaxson, were aggressive in their behavior towards Ms. Rhonda Wall in her own backyard,” Koch said. The dogs escaped through a hole in their fence while owners Jessica Juba and Jeff Daniels were out to eat. The owners said that they did not know the fence had a hole in it. Koch hired Salisbury private investigator Bill Dover to conduct an independent review of events leading up to the April 29 death of Bella. County commissioners asked for the investigation after receiving hundreds of phone calls and e-mails from concerned citizens. While Bella’s death was unfortunate and animal control officers need more options and additional technology when trying to contain loose dogs, Deputy Sean Austin did not break the law when he shot the dog, Koch said. “That action, in the context of all that occurred...was within the proper ambit of the animal control ordinance of this county,” he said. Austin was not trained to carry a tranquil-

Koch said media accounts have not told the whole story. The pit bulls entered the backyard of Wall, who Koch and White described as an elderly neighbor caring for an 8-year-old boy. The dogs threatened them, Koch said. “They were backed up against the fence in a menacing manner,” he said. “That started the chain of events involving law enforcement officers which unfortunately led to Bella being shot.” Wall used a cell phone to call an off-duty
sheriff’s deputy who lived nearby and she responded with her service revolver out and at her side. The deputy called 911. Several law enforcement officers arrived, and eventually, after officers and neighbors tried to capture Bella, Austin shot the dog as it ran away from him. Jaxson jumped into a patrol car and was not injured. The owners, who said they have multiple witnesses who state the dogs were not aggres-

Salisbury-Rowan Reads kicks off July 14 at public library B Y S HELLEY S MITH
ssmith@salisburypost.com
Salisbury and Rowan County have partnered for a second year of Salisbury-Rowan Reads, and the kickoff is July 14 at the Rowan Public Library in Salisbury. Salisbury-Rowan Reads is a five-week summer program that offers any child a free book at each of the five events, to promote reading to children and to encourage children to sign up for a free library card. Not only will children receive a free book, but they will get the chance to hear a book being read by a mayor, council member, firefighter, police officer, commissioner, town manager or school official. Storyteller Obakunle Akinlana will also be performing.
Informational booths and free giveaways will also be at each event, including free refreshments, door prizes, recreational games, and police, fire and recycling trucks for children to explore. Children will also be able to enter a drawing for a Nintendo Wii. A Wii will be given away at each event. The events are free, funded by the city of Salisbury and Rowan County. Municipality leaders chose to join together for this year’s program, and it is expected to be bigger and better than last year’s. “The city of Salisbury is proud to once again partner with Rowan County to fund this program as together we promote reading to children,” Salisbury Mayor Susan Kluttz said. “A love for reading is tru-
ly one of the greatest gifts a child can receive. “Reading to a child strengthens the emotional bond between a parent and child and allows children to learn more about the world in which we live.” Salisbury-Rowan Reads will be every Wednesday evening from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. from July 14 through Aug. 11. The schedule follows: • July 14, Rowan Public Library, 201 W. Fisher St., Salisbury • July 21, East Branch of the Rowan Public Library, 110 Broad St., Rockwell • July 28, Spencer Library Park, Fourth Street, Spencer • Aug. 4, Frank T. Tadlock South Branch of the Rowan Public Library, 920 Kimball Rd., China Grove
• Aug. 11, Cleveland Elementary School, 107 School St., Cleveland. Municipalities participating include Salisbury, China Grove, Cleveland, East Spencer, Spencer, Faith, Granite Quarry, Landis, Rockwell and Rowan County. Children participating who already have a library card are asked to bring their card with them to ease the registration process. If a child does not have a library card, they will be able to sign up for one at each event. Each elementary and middle school student will receive an informational flyer in the last two weeks of school, with more information on the program. Rowan-Salisbury Schools and the Rowan Public Library also support the program, and will be participating.

“This is another iteration of the previous ones we have seen over the last three years that are designed to contain and cripple existing systems, and set the bar so high for new systems that it would be difficult for communities to move forward.” DOUG PARIS
Salisbury Assistant Manager
BROADBAND FROM 3A
of towns and cities to offer their residents broadband. Companies argue that local governments have an unfair advantage because they don’t have to pay taxes and can subsidize their rates, undercutting the corporate competitors. The bill’s sponsor, Hoyle, said tax-free government enterprises shouldn’t be competing with business, but a compromise with municipalities is being negotiated. Hoyle wants to save cities from themselves, he has said. Adding broadband to the range of city utility services could lead to financial losses for the municipalities. “They’re going to own a cable system that may become obsolete and they’re going to say to us (legislators), ‘Please save us,”’ Hoyle said. He pointed to news earlier this month that residents of Davidson and Mooresville face a projected $6.4 million revenue shortfall at the local cable system the cities bought in 2007. The towns spent $92 million to buy and upgrade the lines for MI-Connection. The resulting service offers cable TV, telephone and In-
ternet to about 15,000 customers, but it has struggled to hold on to them. The North Carolina conflict is playing out amid a national push to extend broadband to corners of the country that private enterprise hasn’t reached. Congress included $7.2 billion in last year’s stimulus bill to expand broadband to overlooked parts of the country. The new networks promise to offer speeds 20 to 2,000 times faster than the data lines now reaching into most American homes. A North Carolina nonprofit in January received more than $28 million in federal stimulus funds to extend the state’s broadband Internet network by nearly 500 miles in 37 underserved southeastern and western counties. The state is seeking another $78 million to extend about 1,500 miles of broadband fiber in 67 counties lagging in highspeed Internet capability. So the push for broadband services is on, yet Hoyle and the telecoms appear to want to hold cities back. Kluttz expects to return to Raleigh next week to continue resisting those efforts. “It’s just incredible to me that we are still fighting this,” she said. The Associated Press contributed to this story.

Ingram Motorsports robbed A break-in at a business off Webb Road turned into a robbery at gunpoint. The robbery occurred shortly before 9 a.m. Tuesday at Ingram Motorsports, 350 Auction Drive, off Webb Road near I-85. Deputy M.L. Shrewsbury of the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office responded to the report of a break-in. Frederick Andrew Hedgepath, an employee, told the deputy he was sleeping in the back of the business when he heard breaking glass. Hedgepath said when he went into the front area, he was confronted by two men. One was wearing some type of white cloth over his face and carrying a gun. Hedgepath tried to run through the back of the area but was forced at gunpoint to
lie on the floor, while the second man rummaged through the business taking items including a computer and digital cameras. Once the men left, Hedgepath immediately called 911. Deputies found blood in the broken glass indicating that one or perhaps both of the men had cut themselves getting through the window. The value of items taken was put at $1,622. The store owner had installed metal bars on most of the windows in the business. Capt. John Sifford said the bars for the window that was broken into were by the wall but had not been installed. Sifford said Hedgepath was unable to provide a description of the men.

Rushco clerk robbed at knifepoint A convenience store clerk was robbed at knifepoint early Thursday. Two men got away with an undisclosed amount of cash. The incident occurred around 3 a.m. at Rushco No. 16 at 1518 E. Innes St. Deputy Chief Steve Whitley of the Salisbury Police said the clerk said two men were involved in the robbery. One stayed near the door, apparently as a lookout, and the second came up to her and pulled a Gerber pocket knife, demanding she open the cash door. She opened the drawer and the man grabbed the cash and both left on foot headed toward the Stokes Ferry and Newsome roads area.
Whitley said police saturated the area but weren’t able to find the men. The clerk was not injured. No description of the men was immediately available.

sive, said they were disappointed but not surprised to hear Koch’s findings and plan to file a lawsuit. They said the investigation was not complete and left out details such as why the dog’s body was destroyed before they could claim it, even though they had called the animal shelter to request the body. Although neither dog was wearing a collar, both had implanted microchips for identification. “Our civil rights were violated, and this was a criminal act,” Daniels said. “We are not going to stop here today.” The couple are raising money to pay legal fees. They say they have proof that Bella was shot because she was an inconvenience, not a threat. In video Daniels took with his cell phone, Austin acknowledges that the dog was not aggressive toward him and that he shot it because it was taking too long to catch. The county has requested the entire 17-minute video, but the owners have declined to turn it over. If Bella had been another breed of dog, she would still be alive, they said. “There is a lot of ignorance and hate spread about these wonderful animals,” Daniels said. White said he will present Koch’s report to the other county commissioners and suggest a review of animal control procedures and protocols including containment of loose animals, use of tranquilizer guns, identification of animals and disposal of bodies. “We can reach out to different organizations that we already have in the county to talk to them what can we do better,” he said.

Landis Police hold Special Olympics golf tourney The Landis Police raised more than $8,000 for Special Olympics through a series of fundraisers and a recent Torch Run Golf Tournament. On May 17, the police department teed off for their Law Enforcement Torch Run Golf Tournament at the Club at Irish Creek. There were 70 golfers who participated in the event, which was co-sponsored by the town of Landis. The Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics is the largest grass-roots fundraising program benefiting Special Olympics, with its inception in 1981, law enforcement saw an urgent need to raise funds and awareness for Special Olympics. Today, in North Carolina, the Torch Run involves more
than 2,500 law enforcement officers representing more than 200 law enforcement agencies who take part of the 2,000 mile, 15 leg torch relay across North Carolina. The event began with a speech from Special Olympics Messenger David Rhodes, who spoke about what Special Olympics meant to him and how it has affected his life. Benji Smith, who is a Special Olympics golfer in Rowan County, led all golfers with a ceremonial putt to lead the golfers. This is the first year that the Landis Police Department has been involved with Special Olympics, said coordinator Sgt. Don Sildardi. “After all the rain had fallen, and the last shot was sunk, close to $8,500.00 was raised for Special
Olympics,” Silardi said. The Landis Police Department would like to thank the following sponsors who made this year’s tournament a success: the town of Landis who was the presenting sponsor; Gold level sponsors include: Food Lion, Best Buy, Carolinas Medical Center-NorthEast, and Sweet Tea’s Catering, which provided a barbeque dinner after the tournament; Silver level sponsors include: Creative Graphics, which supplied the trophies to all the winners along with all the signage, Kings Mart of Landis, Castle & Cooke Carolinas Realty, Castle & Cooke Carolinas Development, Jimmy’s Restaurant, Budweiser, Landis Plumbing, Bank of the Carolinas, Rick Lockear Law Office, Xtreme Golf of China Grove and
Corrugated Pinnacle. A special thanks to all the volunteers who donated their time and energy to make the tournament a big success and to Ken Ford with Met Life who braved the rain to sponsor and run the putting contest. In 2009, Law Enforcement officers across the state raised over $951,000 for Special Olympics. North Carolina is proud to have one of the largest Special Olympics programs in the world, with more than 38,000 athletes across the state. Sildardi said plans are already underway for next year’s tournament. Anyone interested in sponsoring or participating should contact Sgt. Don Silardi at 704-857-2129 or at dsilardi@landispolice.com.

Warm spring temperatures draw people out of their house and onto the road for travel or recreation, raising the importance of sharing the street with fellow travelers — whether they are pressing the gas pedal or the bike pedal. According to North Carolina law, a bicycle is a vehicle, and bicyclists share the same rights and responsibilities as other drivers. National Bicycle Safety Month is recognized during May of each year, and the N.C. Department of Transportation has issued a press release to remind those traveling by both bicycle and motor vehicle to obey all traffic laws and use caution. “Bicyclists and motorists share the road and need to travel responsibly,” said Tom Norman, director of NCDOT’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Division, in the press release. “Safety is our top priority, and this month, we want to remind both groups to be alert on the roads at all times of the year.” More than 900 bicycle-motor vehicle crashes are reported to the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles each year. The majority of incidents occur between the months of May and September, and between the hours of 2 p.m. and 10 p.m. In 2009, there were

Summer is the time of year when most people have relaxing, but hectic, schedules. What many don’t realize is that during this busy time, blood donations often decline due to vacation and summer activities, while the need for blood remains constant. You can help the Red Cross avoid a shortage this summer by giving at one of the following sites. All donors who give blood between now and June 30 can enter a drawing to win a cruise for two. If you are 16, you can donate blood but must have a parent or legal guardian and a photo ID. For more information, call Sherry Smith at 704-633-3854, ext 105.

Cooking demonstration June 1 at RRMC Pfeiffer University hosts Habitat 5K There are just six spaces left for a cooking demonstration where participants will learn how to incorporate fruits and vegetables into their cooking. The demonstration, the Healthy Summer Time Treats, is hosted by Rowan Regional Medical Center, is June 1 in the Education Resource Center. There are two classes, 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Both classes are an hour long. The deadline to sign up for the second class is today, said Michelle Henrickson, a reg-
istered dietitian and certified diabetes educator. Henrickson will conduct the class and prepare four or five recipes. “We will bring the nutritional component into each recipe,” she said. She’ll discuss the health benefits of fruits and vegetables and how to get “more fruits and vegetables into your day.” She didn’t want to reveal the recipes because she wants participants to be surprised, but she did say one of the recipes will include berries and another will have corn. “These will be seasonal
things that can be found at the Farmer’s Market,” she said. The classrooms hold about 30 people. The cooking demonstrations are done quarterly with the next cooking demonstration to be held sometime in September. She and fellow dietitian Michelle Musselwhite alternate teaching the classes and assisting the other.

Larry Kissell (NC-08) introduced the first textile specific custom enforcement legislation Tuesday afternoon during a press conference in Washington. Joining Kissell to sponsor the Textile Enforcement and Security Act are fellow North Carolinian Representatives Walter Jones as lead cosponsor, Howard Coble, Patrick McHenry, Mike McIntyre, Bob Etheridge, Virginia Foxx and Sue Myrick. “Our government has an obligation to protect American jobs and to help the American economy grow,” Kissell said in a press release. “By not enforcing trade deals and holding other countries accountable to honor their end of these agreements, it has continued to cause undue harm to American manufacturers and industry. We have
to do a better job at enforcing the protections put in place, and protecting the interests of American manufacturers so they have the opportunity to compete in the global marketplace.” In the past decade, textile and apparel fraud has become an increasing problem for the U.S. textile industry, the press release said. It relies heavily on strong customs enforcement to protect against this type of fraud. Fraudulent activities include front companies posing as legitimate U.S. businesses, undervalued goods, illegal preference and free trade agreement claims. “After the years of harming American industry, it is time for the government to start protecting American workers and American jobs,” Kissell said in the press re-
lease. “The Textile Enforcement and Security Act of 2010 will provide the resources necessary to crack down on textile fraud and close loopholes which allow foreign companies to unfairly exploit these trade deals.” The Textile Enforcement and Security Act of 2010 is designed to address the issues of increasing fraud by increasing the necessary resources to investigate and prosecute offenders with funds coming from fines and penalties collected. It establishes an electronic verification of textiles and apparel imports, increases staff at high-volume ports for textile and apparel imports and establishes a non-resident importer program to ensure that resident agents are held accountable for products imported under their name.

Worse than Exxon Valdez: Spill confirmed as biggest in U.S. history ROBERT, La. (AP) — As BP labored for a second day Thursday to choke off the leak at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, dire new government estimates showed the disaster has eclipsed the Exxon Valdez as the biggest oil spill in U.S. history. The company said early in the day that the operation known as a “top kill” was continuing, but announced later that it had been suspended since around midnight Wednesday so crews could bring in more mud to shoot into the blown-out well 5,000 feet underwater. The top kill was expected to resume overnight, but it could be later today or the weekend before the company knows if it has cut off the oil that has been flowing for five weeks. BP has insisted the top kill was progressing as planned, though the company acknowledged the mud was escaping from the broken pipe along with the leaking crude. “The fact that we had a bunch of mud going up the
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Workers try to clean the beach of oil residue near Grand Isle, La., on Thursday. BP will inject cement into the well to seal it permanently. If it doesn’t, the company has a number of backup plans. Either way, crews will continue to drill two relief wells, considered the only surefire way to stop the leak. A top kill has never been attempted before so deep underwater. BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles said
riser isn’t ideal but it’s not necessarily indicative of a problem,” said spokesman Tom Mueller. The top kill is the latest in a string of attempts to stop the oil that has been spewing since the drilling rig Deepwater Horizon exploded April 20. Eleven workers were killed. If the procedure works,
the company is also considering shooting small, dense rubber balls or assorted junk such as golf balls and rubber scraps to stop up a crippled five-story piece of equipment known as a blowout preventer to keep the mud from escaping. The stakes were higher than ever as public frustration over the spill grew and a team of government scientists said the oil has been flowing at a rate 2 1⁄2 to five times higher than what BP and the Coast Guard previously estimated. Two teams of scientists calculated the well has been spewing between 504,000 and more than a million gallons a day. Even using the most conservative estimate, that means about 18 million gallons have spilled so far. In the worst-case scenario, 39 million gallons have leaked. That larger figure would be nearly four times the size of the Exxon Valdez disaster, in which a tanker ran aground in Alaska in 1989, spilling nearly 11 million gallons.
“Now we know the true scale of the monster we are fighting in the Gulf,” said Jeremy Symons, vice president of the National Wildlife Federation. “BP has unleashed an unstoppable force of appalling proportions.” BP spokesman Steve Rinehart said the previous estimate of 210,000 gallons a day was based on the best data available at the time. As for the new figures, he said: “It does not and will not change the response. We are going all out on our response.” The spill is not the biggest ever in the Gulf. In 1979, a drilling rig in Mexican waters
— the Ixtoc I — blew up, releasing 140 million gallons of oil. In another troubling discovery, marine scientists said they have spotted a huge new plume of what they believe to be oil deep beneath the Gulf, stretching 22 miles from the leaking wellhead northeast toward Mobile Bay, Ala. They fear it could have resulted from using chemicals a mile below the surface to break up the oil. Fishermen, hotel and restaurant owners, politicians and residents along the coast are getting fed up with BP’s failures to stop the leak.

to 33 exploratory deep-water rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. Obama’s news conference was his third this year, but just his first scheduled question-and-answer session at the White House since a primetime East Room session in July of last year. Even Democrats described Obama as defensive in his meeting with reporters. “The president and White House are arguably facing their first crisis without a partisan foe, and that makes for difficult press conferences and unforgiving politics,” Democratic strategist Chris Kofinis said. Obama spoke at times in personal terms. “My job right now is just to make sure everybody in the Gulf understands: This is what I wake up to in the morning, and this is what I go to bed at night thinking about. The spill.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Thrown on the defensive, President Barack Obama acknowledged that his administration could have done better in dealing with the biggest oil spill in the nation’s history and misjudged the industry’s ability to cope with a worst-case scenario. Obama will make his second tour of the battered Gulf Coast today. “I take responsibility. It is my job to make sure that everything is done to shut this down,” Obama declared in a lengthy news conference at the White House on Thursday. Obama’s words marked a clear shift of emphasis for an administration that previously had said it was generally “in charge” but there were limits to what it could do — and that oil giant BP was responsible for stopping the flow and cleaning up the disastrous damage. “Those who think we were either slow on the response or lacked urgency, don’t know the facts,” Obama said at a White House news conference at which he also announced new restrictions on offshore drilling. Elizabeth Birnbaum, the head of the Minerals Management Service that oversees offshore drilling, resigned under pressure. Obama’s move to take responsibility and accept BIRNBAUM accountability was a gesture few politicians are eager to make. But with each passing day, frustration with Obama’s administration has grown, and his poll numbers on the matter are dropping. The news conference and his trip to the coast today represent a more aggressive public effort by the president. Asked about comparisons to the Bush administration’s much-criticized handling of the Hurricane Katrina aftermath, he said that was for others to judge but he insisted his administration has been active from the start. “This has been our highest priority” since the rig exploded, he said. The president announced new steps to restrict drilling, including continuing a moratorium on drilling permits for six months, suspending planned exploratory drilling off the coasts of Alaska and Virginia and ordering a halt

Cowell’s pick comes through as American Idol judge’s reign ends BY DERRIK J. LANG
www.salisburypost.com
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Lee DeWyze reacts with host Ryan Seacrest, left, after he was announced the season nine winner of ‘American Idol.’ Pocket” and Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Long As I Can See the Light.” “We need you here,” Ellen DeGeneres declared at that point. However, DeWyze managed to swirl flavors from the previous two “Idol” champs — Kris Allen’s boyishly reserved stage presence and David Cook’s rocker-next-door musical stylings — to create a palette pleasing to the biggest bloc of “Idol” voters, namely the howlers looking for their next heartthrob who made certain DeWyze never appeared as low vote getter. In Cowell’s final appearance on the hit Fox show, he got emotional while warmly thanking his colleagues and fans. “I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the support, the fun and your sense of humor,” he said. “That’s what’s been the best part — it’s been a blast.” The caustic judge was feted in film and in song during the star-studded show. There was a montage of Cowell’s meanest insults (“It sounded like cats jumping off the Empire State Building ... just before they hit the floor”) and memorable exchanges with fellow judge Paula Abdul. She returned to the show to pay respects to the departing judge, saying their work together “brought me immeasurable joy.” “I love all the fun we had together, I love all the laughter we shared together,” she said, adding that the show “is not going to be the same without you, but as only I can tell you, it will go on.”
R123784
Simon Cowell was granted his final wish on “American Idol.” Lee DeWyze, the bashful paint sales clerk championed early by the biting British judge on the Fox singing contest, was crowned “Idol” on Wednesday over single mother Crystal Bowersox. His victory was based on votes cast after Tuesday’s performances, which drew more acclaim from the judges for Bowersox, though DeWyze was Cowell’s favorite from the outset. DeWyze knew it, too. Back during Hollywood Week, the show’s rapid-fire post-audition phase, he took note of Cowell tapping along as he crooned The Fray’s “You Found Me.” It became clearer after his rendition of Snow Patrol’s “Chasing Cars” during the first round of the semifinals that Cowell was pushing for the throaty underdog from Mount Prospect, Ill. “I fought for you to be here,” he told DeWyze. “I still believe in you.” Such affirmations helped the unassuming rocker to overcome his shortcomings, namely a lack of self-confidence, to take down Bowersox, arguably the ninth season’s most powerful singer. COWELL Despite his innate shyness, DeWyze solidified himself as a contender early in the finals with deft takes on The Box Tops’ “The Letter” and the Rolling Stones’ “Beast of Burden.” “You are growing faster than anybody on this stage,” Kara DioGuardi told him. Indeed, DeWyze was always on the ascent, powering through walking pneumonia for the Cornelius Brothers’ “Treat Her Like a Lady,” and making everyone take notice when he unexpectedly dueted with a bagpipe player on The Beatles’ “Hey Jude.” The sheepish vocalist struggled more at conversing with Ryan Seacrest and maneuvering through the group routines than singing. The panel wasn’t just satisfied with DeWyze’s raspy tone. Panelists demanded to see the scruffy, 24-year-old singer smile. He finally flashed them a goofy grin and started to hit a stride after Elvis Presley’s “A Little Less Conversation.” Meanwhile, Bowersox began to fumble when tasked with out-of-her-element genres. Still, her spot on the finale always seemed certain. When the dreadlocked 24-year-old musician first belted out “Piece of My Heart” at her audition, Bowersox felt like a folksy singer who could appeal to the masses. She possibly peaked early in the semifinals with flawless versions of Alanis Morissette’s “Hand in My

Everyone loves tomatoes
DARRELL BLACKWELDER/FOR THE SALISBURY POST
Fire blight is likely to blame for these black, dead leaves.
Bats, bugs and Bradford pears
DARRELL BLACKWELDER/FOR THE SALISBURY POST
Nothing says summer like bushels of tomatoes.
Tips for a delicious, juicy crop T
omatoes are by far the favorite vegetable grown in Rowan County. Many home gardeners have already planted their early crop and are already experiencing problems. Cooperative Extension receives an abundance of questions as soon as the plant begins to set fruit. Below are a few mistakes first-time DARRELL gardenBLACKWELDER home ers often make with their tomato crop. There is still time this season to remedy some of these problems in the quest for that perfect tomato. • Many home gardeners don’t test their soil. This leads to guessing as to what type of fertilizers are needed for optimum growth. Many tend to over-lime and fail to add needed nutrients for optimum growth. • Improper fertilization. Tomatoes are extremely heavy feeders and need a constant source of fertilizer. Most fail to side dress with extra fertilizer after the plants start to set fruit. Fertilize every four weeks with two tablespoons of 10-10-10 per plant to maintain vigor and produce large fruit. • Too much shade. Tomatoes need full sunlight most of the day. Partial shade from trees or buildings limits production and quality of fruit. Plants become dark green, tall and spindly. Plants in this situation produce few fruit. • Some tomatoes are difficult to grow. Many of the older varieties have no resistance to fungal and bacterial diseases. Before purchasing seed or plants, make sure the plants are VFNT Tomatoes: V (verticillium), F (fusarium), N (nematode), and T (tobacco mosaic) resistant. For example, Big Boy, German Johnson and Fantastic and other heirloom varieties often have no disease resistance and can be very difficult to grow. • Home gardeners fail to spray with fungicides. Tomatoes are susceptible to a wide range of both fungi and bacterial diseases. Fungal diseases during damp,
humid weather can defoliate plants within days producing small, poor quality fruit. Fungicidal applications will control foliar diseases. • Incorrect irrigation or watering practices. Blossom end rot is a calcium deficiency which is aggravated by too little or too much water. Blossom end rot is characterized by black rotten spots on the blossom end of the tomato just before ripening. These plants require even moisture during pe- Healthy tomatoes on a healthy vine. riods of drought. Drip systems or soaker hoses, coupled with a layer of mulch, aids in retention of even moisture. Lime is the source of calcium which needs to be added to the soil before planting. • Planting only one variety. Many are surprised as to how well newer varieties perform and taste. Newer varieties are not only disease and heat resistant, but actually have good flavor. Plant your favorite, but always try a few new varieties each year. • Improper insect control. Aphids are usually the first insect to attack tomatoes and most use Sevin for Gardeners look forward to a bountiful harvest. control. Sevin will not control aphids. Insects can be a real pain late in the season. Most are not prepared to spray during late summer and are eaten alive by fruit worms. • Herbicides will kill. Spray drift from lawn weed control herbicides and others like Roundup will damage or destroy tomato crops. Be very careful when spraying near plants.

Mother does the math, subtracts brother’s family
Dear Mary: My dad passed away and left me three large tubs filled with stamps that he collected over the past 20 years. Do you have any suggestions for how I can sell them for a fair price? — Lorna, e-mail Dear Lorna: MARY The American HUNT Stamp Dealers Association (http://www.ASDAonline. com) has invaluable information on how to get your collection appraised, including an article titled “Things you need to find out before selling a stamp collection.” If this collection is found to have value, it will be valuable to another collector. Do not expect to get retail prices for the items. Expect wholesale prices, which could be less than the actual value of the stamps. Speaking directly with someone who is qualified and trustworthy is the best way to discover the market value of this collection. Dear Mary: I just read one of your columns recommending the famous “envelope method” of budgeting, when you divvy a whole lot of cash into labeled envelopes and
pay your expenses with cash. Isn’t it dangerous to have hundreds of dollars in cash lying around your house or in your purse? — Alison H., Pennsylvania
Dear Alison: I wouldn’t recommend that you have more than a week’s worth of enveloped money on hand to pay for daily expenses, so you won’t carry an inordinate amount of money with my method. A small home safe or a place to hide the envelopes is a good idea, especially if you are nervous about carrying cash. Just make sure that you grab the envelopes you’ll need when it’s time to buy groceries, gas and other routine items. There are so many benefits to living with cash to pay for your day-to-day expenses that I believe the extra precautions you take are well worth the effort. Dear Mary: You recently suggested dropping the land line as a way to save money. Is it safe to use a cell phone when calling credit card companies or banks? What if you need to share personal data, such as Social Security numbers or account numbers? I thought a land line is the safest phone to use to avoid identity theft. — Tony, e-mail Dear Tony: You bring up an interesting point. The only
credible evidence I can find that land lines are more secure for transmitting private, sensitive information is offered by phone companies that provide land line services. They don’t want to lose their land line customers, so it makes sense that they include this in all the reasons you need a land line. If you are overly concerned about security because you communicate your private identifying information via phone, you probably should keep your land line. You never should give sensitive information to an unsolicited caller, no matter what type of phone connection you are using. It’s not the unsecured connection you should be worried about in that case; it's the stranger at the other end of the phone, who is trying to get you to give up your information voluntarily.

Three organizational projects for summer BY SARAH WELCH AND A LICIA R OCKMORE getbuttonedup.com
Summer is a great time to kick back and enjoy the simple things. Capture fireflies, run after the ice-cream truck or simply pour a tall glass of lemonade and grab the latest best seller. You can spend summer being as carefree as you want to be. While it’s definitely one of the best times of the year to relax, recharge and renew, it doesn’t have to be defined by doing absolutely nothing. In fact, summer can be a great time to attack nagging projects that have been tabled for months or to devise new ones. We tend to have more time and energy without any of the interruptions of the school year, holidays and other obligations. So, pour yourself some lemonade and get your organizing on. Sarah on “maximizing the extra time”: New Year’s and back-toschool times tend to be when most people think of getting organized and starting something new, but summer is actually a great time to undertake organizational projects. Even if you no longer attend elementary school and get three whole months off, summer still tends to be a slower time of the year at work and home. More people are on vacation, so there tend to be fewer social obligations. The extra hours of sunlight and
gentler pace give us more energy and time to get things accomplished, so it’s perfect for finally cleaning out the garage or figuring out what to do with that box of documents gathering dust in the cellar. Alicia on “spending it wisely”: Summer is definitely my favorite time of the year. I love the laid-back feel and having the extra time with friends and family. If, like me, it’s your favorite time of the year, maximize it by being organized and doing the things that you enjoy most. Figure out ahead of time how you want to spend your months. Do you want to take a vacation or spend time getting to know your own area a little bit better? Plan ahead to find out activities and events that are going on that you might want to attend. It goes so quickly, so I like to be ahead of the game. Top three projects for summer: 1. Say cheese. If you still haven’t downloaded your pictures from Christmas, it’s time to dig up your power cord. Set aside some time and organize your pictures in your computer or make albums with your photos. If you have children, this is a great project to do with them on a rainy day. It’s a fun way to reminisce about the year before it all starts over again
when school starts in September and the holidays creep up again. 2. Build in Healthy Habits. Forget New Year’s resolutions. They really should be summer resolutions. After all, this is the time of year when the sunlight lasts the longest, making it much easier to fit in after-work exercise or a post-dinner walk. Fresh produce is also abundant, so eating more fruits and vegetables is easier and more enjoyable. You don’t necessarily need to revamp your whole lifestyle; start by adding in a little more exercise or by cooking more at home with farm-fresh produce and go from there. 3. Prepare for Summer’s Wrath. It’s easy to forget that while summer is a great time of the year, it can also wreak havoc in the form of hurricanes, tornadoes, flash floods and fires in many parts of the country. Remember the notso-nice side of summer by prepping your family for an emergency. Make sure your insurance is up to date and covers your needs, and prepare an emergency plan.

POST-SECONDARY POSSIBILITIES
College isn’t for everyone From the News & Observer of Raleigh:
I
t’s almost as much a part of the American Dream as the house with the picket fence. A college education now is seen by upand-coming families, by parents who never had the chance, by high school classmates and by even distant observers as a must-do for younger folks who want to succeed. The reasons include, “You’ll need this to move up in the business world” and “Get the degree first, and then you can do what you want because you’ll have something to fall back on.” But as the Associated Press recently reported, the college degree as necessity now is being questioned by some folks who think perhaps they’d rather opt for skill training in a craft or trade. That can be a perfectly reasonable approach, although it probably goes against the grain of high school counselors as well as worried parents. It sort of comes full circle from the time when only a select few young people were able to partake of higher education, but maybe college really isn’t for everyone. At the least, high school counselors should explore all the options with students, having it understood with parents that no, they’re not trying to dissuade kids from going to college, but only making it clear that there are other paths to fulfillment, all of them requiring additional training, of course. This is not to say that college is no longer an important entree into a professional life. But one of the oft-heard criticisms of the American economic situation is that “we don’t make anything.” Might there be budding inventors or entrepreneurs with ideas they could explore with a technical or mechanical skill education rather than with a conventional college degree? The work of making new things and fixing old ones can be challenging and well-paying, and young people should not be hindered in exploring how those kinds of work might suit them.
At the least, high school counselors should explore all the options with students.
Common sense
(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)
“Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all.” — Sam Ewing
Moderately confused
n the category of Hypocrite of the Week, we have co-winners — Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and former Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska. Both politicians, potential rivals for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, have made their careers bashing the federal government’s propensity to spend money and regulate business. And yet when oil started gushing into the Gulf of Mexico from a damaged BP well, who were they quick to blame for a slow response? Washington, of course. Here’s Jindal: “We’ve been frustrated with the disjointed effort to date that has too often meant too little, too late for the oil hitting our coast.” Sixteen months ago, he was telling a national TV audience that Republicans have a “fundamental disagreement (with DemocSTEVE AND rats) about the proper COKIE ROBERTS role of government.” Now he’s demanding that the feds compensate the state’s fishermen and build sand barriers to keep oil out of the state’s marshland. Palin, whose husband worked for BP for 18 years, suggested, incredibly enough, that the oil company’s campaign contributions to President Obama were responsible for him “taking so doggone long to get in there, to dive in there, and grasp the complexity and the potential tragedy that we are seeing here in the Gulf of Mexico.” Both have a point. There’s not much that Washington can do to plug the leak, but the administration has reacted slowly to its impact. As oil strangles more birds and stains more beaches, the political risks for Obama expand. Still, Jindal and Palin miss a much larger issue. The real problem here is the failure of government agencies to monitor and regulate the offshore-drilling industry. Washington does not have all the answers, and the risk of overregulation is real, but the past few months have reinforced a basic economic truth: Profitmaking corporations will do everything possible to evade costly rules and maximize their bottom line. And only tough standards, enforced by independent regulators, can hold those corporations accountable and protect the rest of us from their worst excesses. The failure of government regulation only starts with blemished beaches. The dismal performance by federal agencies monitoring the economy has had a far more devastating impact. Consider the following:
• The Securities and Exchange Commission repeatedly ignored “significant red flags” about the billion-dollar Ponzi scheme perpetrated by Bernie Madoff, according to the commission’s inspector general. “His report,” said Mary Schapiro, the SEC’s current chairman, “makes clear that the agency missed numerous opportunities to discover the fraud.” • The SEC has filed a civil complaint against Goldman Sachs, Wall Street’s most powerful firm, alleging that Goldman marketed investments to clients that were designed to fail. But when the deals were being carried out, SEC lawyers apparently had other concerns. A recent report by the inspector general found 31 cases of commission employees downloading pornography on their office computers. • In the months before a deadly explosion in West Virginia killed 29 coal miners, Massey Energy, the mine operator, had been cited for numerous safety violations. But it was never told to stop operating. Ken Hechler, the former congressman who helped write current mining regulations, said they were never enforced. And that makes the Mine Safety and Health Administration “partially responsible” for the disaster, he argued. This same pattern of incompetent, even corrupt, regulation shows up in the oil industry. Testifying before Congress, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar condemned his own agency, the Minerals Management Service: “We need to clean
up that house.” Asked if the service had properly monitored the safety procedures taken by BP, Salazar answered bluntly: “No.” A report issued by Mary L. Kendall, the Interior Department’s acting inspector general, fleshed out the details behind Salazar’s harsh judgment. She describes a culture where regulators, and the corporate executives they are supposed to oversee, trade favors, gifts and jobs on a regular basis. “Of greatest concern to me,” she wrote, “is the environment in which these inspectors operate — particularly the ease with which they move between industry and government.” The importance of government oversight is enhanced by another dispiriting trend: the financial troubles of major news organizations and their growing inability to devote resources to investigative reporting. Holding the powerful to account is an expensive business, and reporters, like regulators, are the essential watchdogs of a secure democracy. There’s one clear lesson here: The feds have to be tougher on corporations, not softer. The watchdogs have to bark more loudly and more often. Otherwise, we’ll have more oil spills, more mine cave-ins, more economic collapses. That’s a truth the Hypocrites of the Week refuse to recognize. • • • Steve Roberts’ new book, “From Every End of This Earth” (HarperCollins), was published this fall. E-mail: stevecokie@ gmail.com.

ast week, less than two miles from where I live in the Village of Gold Hill on St. Stephen’s Church Road, a 21-year-old driver plowed into a group of 18 cyclists, injuring six of them, two very seriously. From what I can gather from the news, it seems the driver didn’t “see” the riders and turned into them coming from the opposite direction. If you can’t “see” 18 bicycles and riders in neon-colored clothing out on a rural road, then you don’t need to be driving to start with. In the end, the defense may even suggest the bike riders were at fault. Everyone makes mistakes, and life goes on. The fact remains, however, that the two most seriously injured riders will likely carry the scars and pains for the rest of their lives, not to mention the other riders who watched this take place. Oftentimes, witnessing something like this unfold is almost as traumatic as being in the middle of it, and I’m sure this will be a hard image to erase from their minds. My experience in similar situations is that it happens in a sort of slow motion that is very easy to recall, sort of like what a war veteran will tell you about being in the middle of a battle and all of your senses absorbing everything around you. It’s the very reason these images are so hard to shake. In the case of these particular riders, they weren’t a group of rookies out trying to break in their new toys. A half dozen or so are professional riders with thousands of miles of experience, and the rest were accomplished riders as well. This group had in fact been using this route as a training run for the past

Emergency workers attend to one of the cyclists injured in a May 19 accident on St. Stephen’s Church Road. 15 years or so, which really brings up my point. In case some of you have missed it, bicycling has become a very popular sport, particularly over the past 1015 years. Hardly a day goes by that I don’t see a bike come by my house. If I’m out on the road, I see them in every imaginable traffic situation. In towns and cities, on rural country roads, highways, bridges, intersections and anywhere else you can imagine. For those of you who don’t like bicycles on the roads, I’m afraid I’m the one to tell you we aren’t going to go away or disappear. Bicycles for some hold the same allure as the motorcycle or airplane does for others. There’s the freedom, the wind in your face, the solitude and, in the case of the bicycle, the benefit of the exercise it provides as you push your way through the air. So going away is not an option. There are in fact those of us who believe there should be more people in the world riding bicycles, not less. We’re not a radical group, and I doubt you’ll see many of us manning a picket line demanding equal space on the roadways (that we pay taxes on as well, by the way). A lot of us are graying a little bit around the edges and have to stretch and go through a little pre-ride ritual sometimes just to make sure all the parts that
are still left are working well enough to get through the upcoming adventure of the day. Others on the road are precision riders who time and monitor every aspect of their activities in preparation for upcoming challenges. We are also a determined group that insists on being able to use our portion of the asphalt and will continue to do so. So if you’re cruising down the road with the windows rolled down, the music turned up, half slumped over into the passenger seat rubbing your girlfriend’s knee while talking on your cell phone, remember that just over that next hill may be a situation that could change your life forever. And not changed in a good way. Killing a 2-year-old’s mother when you run over her is probably not the legacy you want to leave behind. As for the driver in this current situation, if you receive community service and have to go out and clean up the litter on the side of the road, be sure and wear that bright orange vest that they will provide for you when you’re out among the traffic. It’s crazy out there. • • • Gary Poole lives in Gold Hill and is a founding member of Group Gold Hill Cycling. The 11th annual Gold Hill Invitational Bike Ride takes place Saturday.
ro football has chosen to return to its roots and play the 2014 Super Bowl — that’s XLVIII for those of you keeping count — on the potentially frozen tundra of northern New Jersey. The owners waived the traditional requirement that the championship game, if it is played outdoors, be held in a locale where the average winter temperature is 50 degrees or better. That’s why Miami has hosted 10 Super Bowls and six-time winner Pittsburgh none. Although football has been played in horrendous conditions — the temperature for a 1967 title game in Green Bay was minus-13 degrees, minus48 with the wind chill — this will be the first-ever Super Bowl played outdoors in a site with real winters. The average February high in East Rutherford, site of the 82,566-seat New Meadowlands Stadium shared by the New York Giants and Jets, is 40 degrees, the low, 24. The attraction of the site is not so much New Jersey, but the bright lights of Manhattan just across the river for the weeklong pre-game festivities. It’s unclear that this rare foray outdoors in the North with its untamed weather is a one-time deal or whether football will feel daring and risk other cold-weather venues. Already, Redskins owner Daniel Snyder is clamoring for a Super Bowl in Washington, where there is talk, so far idle, of building a new stadium back in the capital itself. We say go for it. Given the public’s fascination with weather disasters — blizzards, floods, tornadoes — that befall someone else somewhere else, a snow or ice storm could only increase ratings. Besides, if XLVIII attracts a similar audience to this February’s XLIV, 106,417,434 will be warm and dry, watching it on TV.

The third exception is U.S. 17 in Windsor (Bertie County), which is reduced to one lane on the Cashie River Bridge due to construction. Motorists are encouraged to use the U.S. 17 Bypass around Windsor to avoid possible delays. Work on the other, suspended road projects will resume at 9 a.m. Tuesday, the DOT says. With the weekend’s increased traffic comes the greater likelihood of accidents. The Highway Patrol will increase patrols on all interstates and major four-lane highways during the holiday weekend. They’ll be tracking speed — the leading cause of traffic collisions and fatalities in the state — looking for reckless drivers and checking seat belts. The Highway Patrol and other law enforcement agencies have been setting up “Click-It or Ticket” seatbelt checkpoints across the state throughout the week. Troopers are also participating in the nationwide “Operation C.A.R.E.” (Combined Accident Reduction Effort). The Memorial Day holiday weekend officially begins at 6 p.m. Friday and ends at midnight Monday.
Conserve fuel
To help reduce fuel consumption and save money, DOT advises: • Don’t rush. “Jack-rabbit” starts and hard braking alone can increase fuel consumption by 40 percent, but reduce travel time by only 4 percent. • Observe the speed limit. Not exceeding 60 miles per hour (where legally allowed) can improve mileage by 7 to 23 percent. • Use cruise control. Using cruise control on 10,000 miles driven in a year could save you nearly $200 and save more than 60 gallons of fuel, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. • Remove unnecessary items. An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle can reduce your miles per gallon by up to 2 percent. Wind resistance can also reduce mileage so avoid using luggage racks, rooftop carriers and ski racks when they are not needed.
RALEIGH (AP) — U.S. Senator Jesse Helms curried favor with the FBI and director J. Edgar Hoover before starting his 30-year political life as a conservative icon, then occasionally called on the bureau for information and investigations, newly released records showed. The FBI file on Helms, a polarizing figure who actively fought against the civil rights movement, was comprised mostly of agents investigating death threats, according to more than 1,500 pages released to the Associated Press under a Freedom of Information Act request. Helms died July 4, 2008. “All senators and congressmen get threats periodically. Most of it’s not se-

So, why the lower gas prices? The European financial crisis has dropped the price of crude oil, inventory is the most plentiful it has been in decades and pre-Memorial Day driving demand has been soft — all helping to lower gasoline prices, according to AAA. Wilmington and Myrtle Beach have the highest prices in the state at $2.81 and $2.67, respectively. The state's cheapest gas is in High Point at $2.65; South Carolina's in Greenville at $2.57. As for other types of travel, AAA Carolinas expects air travel to hold steady, with 60,000 North Carolinians and 32,000 South Carolinians flying this holiday, as airfares are still high, capacity is limited, flight delays are possible and security and baggage hassles remain. Other travel (bus, rail, maritime) is expected to total 54,000 in N.C. and 27,000 in S.C. according to AAA Carolinas. Travelers are still watching their budgets, AAA Carolinas officials say, but they are getting out of the house after searching for promotions and deals being offered in greater abundance this Memorial Day holiday.
rious,” said Jesse Helms Center director John Dodd, who began working as a political consultant for Helms in the ’80s. “It certainly wasn’t something he talked about much.” The threats came from gay rights activists, supporters of an indoor smoking ban and many others who expressed no cause. One man carried a hit list and a .357 Magnum handgun into a 1991 Senate hearing, though documents indicated Helms wasn’t the primary target. More than a year before Helms won his Senate seat in 1972, a memo to Hoover described how the Raleigh television executive staunchly backed Hoover. Helms offered the station’s resources to help the FBI any time. The files do not indicate whether the FBI took up the offer.

her own training. They were taken into city and country environments, covering up to 5 miles at a time. They learned how to function together in restaurants, grocery stores and department stores. They tackled stairs, escalators, curbs, hanging branches and things on the ground that could trip them up. A thousand times, Horne heard herself telling Debbie to “sit,” heel,” “down,” and “forward.” “Body language is half the command,” Horne says. Horne learned how to give Debbie room to play and how to feed her, brush her teeth and gently instruct others how to react to her dog. When Debbie’s in the harness she’s in charge, Horne says, still amazed how the dog maneuvered them through the Charlotte airport when they arrived home at the end of April. When the harness is off, and Debbie’s on a regular leash, Horne’s in charge. Suffering from diabetic retinopathy, Horne lost sight in her right eye in 1999. She adapted to her change in depth perception and kept working as a registered nurse at the Hefner VA Medical Center in Salisbury. Ironically, she worked in the eye clinic as her vision worsened. But in 2004, “the VA realized I couldn’t see,” she says. Within two months, the paperwork was filed and approved to place her on disability. She could hardly face leaving. “That devastated me,” Horne says. “I dealt with my blindness better than I did with losing my job.” A motorcycle enthusiast, Horne had taken herself off the road several years earlier. In 2005, the Division of Motor Vehicles made it official, refusing to renew her driver’s license. But she remained active. She teaches Bible school in the summer and tends to the nursery on Sundays at Faith Baptist Church. She regularly goes to the East Rowan Y and belongs to the Rockwell Lions Club, an organization devoted to helping the visually impaired. Horne sells Lions Club brooms and works the organization’s vision van. She plans to become a certified American Red Cross instructor and teach CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) to blind students. The best Horne can hope for is that her vision doesn’t deteriorate much more. She says she can see with her good eye about 2 feet in front of her. Reading something like a medicine bottle demands huge magnifiers.

credited, nonprofit school that has been providing guide dogs for more than 50 years. Students from around the world attend the school. Horne says that once her application was approved, the program and her guide dog cost her nothing. Guiding Eyes depends on donations to pay the considerable costs associated with each dog and client. Guide dogs such as Debbie go to a socialization person until they are about three months old. Then they’re off to a puppy-raising family where they have home training and simple obedience training every day. Before the dogs are matched with blind and visually impaired people, they are assigned a guide dog instructor, who works with each dog for at least five months. Horne says her days at the New York school were intense. The students had to rise about 6 a.m. to feed, wa-
ter and park their dogs outside, in their pajamas. “This is a group of blind people, so pajamas don’t matter,” Horne says. The rest of the day’s interactions with their dogs lasted until 9:30 or 10 each night. Horne took her showers with Debbie lying on a rug just outside the shower door. Debbie slept in a crate beside her bed. Back in Rowan County, Horne and Debbie are still learning about each other, still falling deeper in love. They’ve gone to the beach together and successfully
have shopped in stores, worshiped in church and eaten in restaurants together. The well-mannered Debbie already is an honorary member of the Rockwell Lions Club. Horne is a little concerned about Debbie’s weight gain, scolding her husband, Wayne, for feeding her treats on the side. Debbie has gone from 58 to 65 pounds since they have come from New York. More walking could be in the team’s future. Debbie will lead the way.

Guide dogs are working animals. Don’t pet, call to or otherwise distract them while they’re in harness. A dog in harness is on duty, even when sitting or lying down. Always try to give the right of way to a guide dog team, whether you are in a car, on a bike or on foot. Don’t feed a guide dog. A guide dog’s diet and feeding times are strictly monitored for good health and reliable schedules. If you wish to assist a person with a guide dog, first ask if you can be of help. If your assistance is accepted, offer your left elbow. Do not grab the guide dog, leash, harness or the person’s arm. Guide dog users have been taught the proper and humane way to maintain their dog’s training, using verbal reprimands and leash corrections. Guide dogs get loads of praise for jobs well done. Federal and state laws allow a guide dog the right of access everywhere the public is allowed, even in restaurants and grocery stores.

Sur-mountable deficit ‘Phantom’ strikes with game on line
G
RANITE QUARRY — The subjects were focus and concentration. The pupil: slender East Rowan reliever Will Johnson. And the lesson he taught visiting Tuscola in Game 1 of the 3A state semifinals Thursday night was as old as dirt. “I just throw strikes and let the defense work for me,” he said at Staton Field, the classroom where it all played out. “I don’t throw it hard, but I throw strikes. And I don’t throw inside. And I pray a lot.” For two innings the deceptive left-hander did it all in East’s 5-3 triumph. DAVID He used his slow, slower, SHAW slowest repertoire of fastballs to befuddle the guests from Waynesville. Without cracking the speed limit — or offering any sort of complementary show pitch — he recorded his second consecutive six-out save and lifted the Mustangs within one victory of a final-round berth. “I don’t know how he does it,” East catcher Luke Thomas said. “There really isn’t a good explanation. We call him ‘The Phantom’ because it looks like people are just swinging through his pitches and not hitting them.” As East’s third pitcher of the night, Johnson entered in the top of sixth inning, just after his JOHNSON teammates had spent 20 minutes batting around and scoring five times to take the lead. He survived the sixth without incident, yielding just an infield hit sandwiched around a strikeout and a pair of infield popups to shortstop Preston Troutman. “Yeah,” Johnson said, trimming his comments to the nub. “Troutman made some great plays. I’m glad he was there to catch them.” It’s a scenario we’ve witnessed before. “That’s what Johnson does,” East pitching coach Brian Hatley said. “It may not look like he knows what he’s doing, he doesn’t have much to say, but he knows how to pitch. His big thing is locating the ball and changing speeds. He works the outside corner and keeps it low.” Johnson — 5-0 with four saves and a miniscule 0.57 ERA this spring — was at his tantalizing best in the top of seventh, which opened when Tuscola’s Walton Shepherd punched a leadoff single into center field.

Mustangs climb out of hole with five-run 5th BY MIKE LONDON

GRANITE QUARRY — Confined to E. Rowan 5 the dugout Tuscola 3 after a vigorous dispute of a third-inning call at first base, East Rowan coach Brian Hightower had a more restricted view than usual of Staton Field. He still watched his team find a way to win in a place
where it’s always been close to unbeatable. The Mustangs scored five runs in the fifth to rally past Tuscola 5-3 in the opener of the best-of-three 3A Western championship series Thursday night. East is 16-0 at Staton this season, so it’s a huge edge to be the host team for this entire series. Tuscola has belted 41 homers, but East kept the Mountaineers in the ballpark. Tuscola is in Waynesville, nearly three hours to the west.
The Pioneers had to bus home last night with the intention of attending school today, and they’ll have to come all the way back to Staton for Game 2 tonight, hoping to force a decisive Game 3 on Saturday. Having one team doing all the traveling for this critical series is a new concept. Ordinarily, teams rotate home games, but the NCHSAA made a change this spring.

CONCORD — Ryan Newman got nervous when he discovered in practice the fastest way around Charlotte Motor Speedway was by hugging the outside wall. The expert qualifier gulped and decided to take the high line Thursday night. Newman captured his second straight CocaCola 600 pole and the ninth in 19 Sprint Cup races at NEWMAN the track. All it required was what he called “the most courageous lap” he’s run here. He was clocked at 187.546 mph and barely beat out AllStar race winner Kurt Busch, who will start second Sunday. “I’ve never run into a corner at 200 mph up against the wall and made it stick and still come out the other end,” Newman said.

Meet East Rowan senior and future Brevard volleyball player Amanda Possidente. “I came out of our volleyball season with some pretty roughlooking knees,” Possidente said proudly. Possidente’s surname rolls off her tongue so musically, you wonder if maybe she’s an exchange student from Rome or Naples, but she grew up near East. “Oh, I’m about 30 seconds away,” she said. “That’s why I just about live at school.” Her life story isn’t complicated. She was a basic basketball girl until she arrived at East for the ninth grade and was bitten by the volleyball bug. “I’d never played it because we don’t have middle school volleyball programs, but I got interested in the sport in ninth grade,” Possidente said. “I remember my freshman year, trying so very hard, and still not being any good.” Possidente is only 5-foot-4, but

Senior moment for Potts BY MIKE LONDON
mlondon@salisburypost.com
GRANITE QUARRY — East Rowan’s softball team tries to qualify for the Final Four for the first time since 1996 when it takes on Concord Robinson (23-3) at home today at 5 p.m. As East’s only senior, co-captain Kayla Potts has even more at stake than her young teammates. A loss would put her catching equipment in the closet permanently.
Good catchers, like good umpires, go unnoticed. That’s the case with Potts. She rarely has to chase a wild pitch or passed ball to the backstop, and opponents rarely attempt to steal. “This year has been the fewest stolen bases we’ve ever given up,” Potts said. “But when you’ve got Chelsea White pitching, there aren’t usually a lot of people on base to steal.”

Amanda Possidente plans to play collegiate volleyball at Brevard. she’s a good athlete. She was 10th in the triple jump at the recent Rowan Country track meet, and she scored points for East’s track team this season in the sprints. Once she devoted her energy to volleyball she started making strides. “For some people volleyball comes naturally — but for me, it didn’t,” Possidente said. “I had to work at it, but I just practiced and practiced and practiced. I found out I had a passion for it.” Eventually, she found her niche — as East’s libero.

Artest’s buzzer-beating putback saves Lakers BY GREG BEACHAM Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Ron Artest stumLakers 103 bled into Los Suns 101 A n g e l e s Lakers playoff lore with one remarkable bank shot to beat the Phoenix Suns. Artest rambled into the lane and beat the buzzer with a wild shot after rebounding Kobe Bryant’s miss, and the Lakers edged the Suns 103-101 on Thursday night to take a 3-2 lead in the Western Conference finals. Bryant had 30 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists for the Lakers, but the improbable hero of Game 5 is the only new
player on the roster of the defending champions, who are one win away from the NBA finals. “I missed a lot of layups during the regular season,” Artest said. “I’m just staying with it and trying to stay focused and play my part, see what happens.” Something incredible happened: Artest’s basket completed a 2-for-9 shooting night, an otherwise awful performance redeemed by one supremely heady offensive rebound. Jason Richardson banked in a straightaway 3-pointer with 3.5 seconds left to tie it for the Suns. Phoenix clawed back from an 18-point deficit in the second half with a superb
game by Steve Nash, who had 29 points and 11 assists. Bryant then missed a difficult shot from the sideline, but Artest collected the rebound and raised to his tiptoes while throwing up a hideous shot that somehow went in. Artest, who missed two open jumpers just a few seconds earlier, grabbed Bryant in a joyous bear hug while the Staples Center crowd went nuts. “I thought Kobe got fouled on the shot, so I figured it was going to be a little short,” Artest said. “And it was short.” Game 6 is Saturday night in Phoenix, where the Lakers can clinch the chance to play for their 16th championship. “Everything is OK,” Nash said. “We can’t knock a great
effort. I think we deserved this game.” Led by Nash’s stirring second-half effort, the Suns hacked away at Los Angeles’ lead throughout the fourth quarter. Phoenix trimmed its deficit to 95-94 when Nash converted a three-point play and then fed Amare Stoudemire for a layup that barely beat the shot clock with 2:52 left. The Lakers led 101-96 with 1:38 remaining, but Nash hit another jumper and Artest missed twice, the home crowd yelling in frustration with each open brick. “He has an uncanny knack of doing things, and sometimes it just works out,” Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. “He just has a knack.”
Celtics hope to avoid Bruins’ fate, reach finals BY JIMMY GOLEN Associated Press
BOSTON — It’s a good thing for the Boston Celtics that the NBA rescinded Kendrick Perkins’ technical foul and nixed his suspension. He might be the only big man they have left to guard Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard. Perkins was ejected from Boston’s 113-92 loss to Orlando in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals on Wednesday after picking up two technicals in the first half. The league rescinded one on Thursday, clearing Perkins to play in Game 6 when Boston tries for the third time to eliminate the Magic and advance to the NBA finals.
“We know what we haven’t done and what we need to do,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said Thursday. “I think we’ll be ready to do it tomorrow night.” Even with Perkins, the Celtics will still be short-handed trying to slow down Howard, who has averaged 26 points and 13 rebounds in the last two games as the Magic twice avoided elimination. Backup Glen “Big Baby” Davis was diagnosed with a concussion after blacking out on the court from Howard’s inadvertent elbow to his face in Game 5. Rasheed Wallace tweaked his back in the game and couldn’t even sit down to watch film Thursday. Rivers said they are both gametime decisions. Marquis
Daniels also sustained a concussion, and he has been all but ruled out for tonight’s game. “Our mentality is: We just have to lace them up and go play,” Rivers said. “We have a lot of bumps and bruises right now, but we’ll be OK.” The Celtics need a victory to avoid a trip back to Orlando for a seventh game, where a Magic victory would make it the first team in NBA history to come back from a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-seven playoff series. “I didn’t like being in a 3-0 hole, but it’s still doable. I don’t think we’ve had a lack of belief,” Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy said. “We can’t go back and get those first three. ... I don’t know why we didn’t get at it, I don’t know why we did-
n’t play with the same type of energy in the first three games. I really do not know.” Only four times in North American pro sports history has a team come back from a 3-0 deficit. But the Magic wouldn’t even be the first to do it this month in Boston: The Bruins led the NHL’s Eastern Conference semis 3-0 before the Philadelphia Flyers came back to advance — celebrating in the very same TD Garden locker room where the Magic dress. “I would doubt that players would get affected by what happened in another sport,” Van Gundy said. “I would have a hard time believing that. I don’t think most of our guys on any of our teams follow hockey very much.”
Eight starts makes Moore a vet with Panthers BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press
CHARLOTTE — When Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback Jimmy Clausen gets confused during voluntary workouts this week, he turns to Matt Moore. “Jimmy’s coming over to me all the time with, ‘Hey what’s up with this and what’s up with this?”’ Moore said Thursday. Moore’s answer? “I don’t know,” he said, shrugging and smiling at the same time. Moore then chuckled in acknowledging that with eight NFL starts, he’s suddenly the grizzled veteran among the league’s youngest group of quarterbacks. None of the other three on Carolina’s roster — Clausen, fellow rookie Tony Pike and second-year pro Hunter Cantwell — have taken a snap in a regular-season NFL game. The eight combined starts is by far the fewest of any NFL team. St. Louis is next with 19,
with 15 by A.J. Feeley, who was with Carolina last season. Moore was declared the starter after the Panthers decided in MOORE March to release Jake Delhomme, the team’s quarterback since 2003. Moore’s hold on the job became less secure a month later when the Panthers ended Clausen’s stunning fall in the draft by snagging him with the 38th pick. The former Notre Dame star’s progress this week is being closely monitored, but Moore isn’t ready to concede after going 4-1 as a starter to close last season. Moore, who went undrafted out of Oregon State in 2007, also must serve as a mentor to Clausen and the rest of the youngsters in the QB meeting room. “It’s been good to have that role,” Moore said. “That’s how Jake was to me and to have
that role, with experience, guys are going to come to you with questions. It’s been really, really good. It’s different.” The offseason workouts have been different this week, too. Fox, who embraces a rigid routine, has dramatically changed the format to focus almost exclusively on the passing game. “As far as output last year, we were more efficient running the football than we were passing,” Fox said. “We’ve got a young bunch of quarterbacks and receiving corps, so we want to emphasize that. And I’m of the belief you get what you emphasize. So that’s a little different from years’ past.” While some predict Clausen is Carolina’s QB of the future, Moore is determined to build off last season. He threw eight touchdown passes and two interceptions with a 98.5 passer rating in the first extended action since his rookie year. “Whenever you’re put in the starter position you have a lot more confidence, especially at
the quarterback position. He is the leader of the offense,” center Ryan Kalil said. “What he does and how he runs it reflects on all of us. “It’s a lot different now that Matt is kind of the guy. He has a lot of competition behind him, so it’s exciting to see guys grow and see the team grow in general. Matt’s done a great job in the past, and we don’t expect anything less from him now.” The Panthers won’t practice in pads until training camp begins in July, so the real test for Moore, Clausen, Cantwell and Pike will come in the preseason. Moore, a laid back California native, thinks his somewhat thin resume won’t be an obstacle. “Experience is big. You’re right, the eight starts isn’t much, but it’s there,” Moore said. “You’ve been in the fight and things like that. Yes, these guys that haven’t played, when they do get the experience, you change quickly. Although it isn’t a lot, there’s something to be said for the little time I have spent in there.”

Will Sapp makes a key running catch in the fourth.
It seems unfair, but while his team must take the long road, Tuscola coach Caleb McConnell took the high road when discussing his plight. “The way we’re looking at it is we’ve got to win two ballgames,” he said. “Doesn’t really matter which two. Doesn’t really matter where or when we win them.” East (28-2) was dealing with its own disadvantage. The Mustangs won their fourth-round game on Wednesday, and Tuscola had one day off after clinching its spot in the series on Tuesday. Beyond that, East ace Thomas Allen remains questionable with a forearm issue. Preston Troutman, the rocket-armed shortstop, was a surprise starter on the mound for East last night. “I surprised myself that I started Preston,” Hightower said with a chuckle. “But Tuscola’s a free-swinging, power-hitting team, and we thought he might be a good matchup.” Troutman was OK, but the Mountaineers (22-4) smacked some bullets in the second inning, including doubles by David Atwood and Billy Lirely, to score three times. “They can hit,” Troutman said. “I hung a few pitches, but mostly they just hit the ball.

“It’s not like we were ripping it, but we do pride ourselves on being able to put the ball in play,” Hightower said. Holmes delivered the goahead RBI on an infield hit even though Howard, Tuscola’s second baseman, nearly made a miraculous play. Then Andy Austin knocked in a run to make it 5-3. East’s bullpen made that lead stand up. Winner Alex Bost got four outs. Will Johnson worked a pressure-packed sixth and seventh. JON C.

Fans shield their eyes from the sun as third baseman Trey Holmes throws toward first.
“I knew,” Johnson quickly assessed, “that I had to get out of that inning.” Meanwhile, over in the Tuscola dugout, the meat of the order was salivating at the bat rack. “It felt like you could just sit on the fastball,” said cleanup batter David Atwood, a .450 hitter. “We all wanted to get up there. But you had to be patient against him.” Teammate Tyler Brosius found out the hard way — or, in this case, the soft way. A python-armed slugger with 13 home runs and a football scholarship to N.C. State tucked in his back pocket, he was fanned on three pitches for the game’s most important out. “After we got the first two strikes,” Thomas recalled, “I told (Johnson) to keep it away and hoped he’d chase something off the plate. It worked out perfectly. That last ball was a good 3 feet outside.” Brosius could have kicked himself. “I didn’t wait on it,” he said. “I committed too soon. You need to sit back and drive that ball to right field. I didn’t.” In the East dugout, Hatley breathed a massive sigh of relief. “Johnson didn’t want to

Andy Austin had one hit and one RBI against Tuscola. make a mistake to someone who could put it in the trees in a hurry,” he said. “Luckily, the guy chased a pitch out of the strike zone.” Atwood followed by fanning on a 2-2 pitch he believed was a changeup. “It threw me off-balance,” he said. Johnson chuckled when he heard that account. “Nah,” he said. “That was just a fastball that I slowed down.” Thomas, squatted behind
the plate, was momentarily spooked by the delivery. “When that pitch was coming in, it looked like something he was gonna kill,” he said. “But in typical Johnson fashion, he got the batter to swing right through it.” And in typical Johnson fashion, he induced a gameending groundout, setting off a wild celebration. “Every time, I go out there and focus on getting people out,” he said. “That’s my job. That’s all I can do.”

Braves defeat Florida Associated Press
MIAMI, Fla. — Martin Prado had three hits and drove in two runs, leading the Atlanta Braves to an 8-3 win over the Florida Marlins on Thursday. Chipper Jones and Yunel Escobar each reached base three times and drove in a run in a game delayed by rain 1 hour, 17 minutes. The Braves have won seven of nine. Peter Moylan (2-0) pitched an inning in relief of Tim Hudson, who didn’t return after the delay. He allowed two runs and five hits in four innings. Mets 3, Phillies 0 NEW YORK — Mike P e l frey and the New Mets pulled off a most extraordinary pitching feat, shutting out hard-hitting Philadelphia for the third straight game. It marked the first time since 1983 that Philadelphia was blanked three days in a row. Pelfrey (7-1) followed knuckleballer R.A. Dickey and Japanese newcomer Hisanori Takahashi as the Mets threw back-to-back-to-back shutouts for the first time since 1988. Reds 8, Pirates 2 CINCINNATI — Scott Rolen’s three-run homer started an early splurge off Charlie Morton — the major leagues’ leader in losses — and the Reds rolled to their best record since 2006. The NL Central leaders have won 21 of their last 30 games, moving a season-high eight over .500 at 28-20. Cincinnati batted around in each of the first two innings for seven runs off Morton (1-9). Cardinals 8, Padres 3 SAN DIEGO — Albert Pujols hit his first homer and drove in his first runs in 11 games, and Brendan Ryan tied a career high with four hits. Pujols, who was homerless with no RBIs since May 14 at Cincinnati, ripped a solo home run and nearly had another to help the Cardinals avoid their first three-game sweep against San Diego in nearly 15 years. Rockies 8, Diamondbacks 2 DENVER — Seth Smith, Carlos Gonzalez and Ryan Spilborghs hit consecutive homers in the seventh inning. Troy Tulowitzki also homered. Arizona was behind 4-2 before the Rockies exploded off Dan Haren (5-4) in the seventh. Cubs 1, Dodgers 0 CHICAGO — Ted Lilly pitched seven scoreless innings, and Tyler Colvin had an RBI double in the eighth. Giants 5, Nationals 4 SAN FRANCISCO — Freddy Sanchez hit a tiebreaking, two-run single in the seventh inning after earlier getting hit in the face by a spiked cleat. Brewers 4, Astros 3 (10) MILWAUKEE — Matt Lidstom walked Rickie Weeks with the bases full in the 10th. AMERICAN LEAGUE Royals 4, Red Sox 3 BOSTON — Brian Bannister pitched six strong innings and David DeJesus drove in two runs as Kansas City snapped Boston’s five-game winning streak. Daisuke Matsuzaka (3-2) walked a season-high eight while allowing three runs over 4-plus innings. He walked five batters in the fifth inning. Rays 5, White Sox 1 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Evan Longoria and Carl Crawford homered for Tampa Bay and Jeff Niemann went to 5-0. Niemann limited the White Sox to singles by Alex Rios and Gordon Beckham before giving up a solo homer to Mark Teahen leading off the eighth. Athletics 7, Orioles 5 BALTIMORE — Kevin Kouzmanoff doubled in three runs to cap a five-run eighth for Oakland, which won its second road series of the year. Twins 8, Yankees 2 MINNEAPOLIS — Jason Kubel hit two home runs and had five RBIs for the Twins. Kubel hit a solo homer in the sixth, a three-run shot in the seventh and had an RBI double for the Twins, who had gone eight games and 349 plate appearances without a home run before he broke the skid. Javier Vazquez (3-5) a l lowed five runs and eight hits in 5-plus innings. Minnesota is 18-54 against the Yankees since Ron Gardenhire took over as manager in 2002, and it’s 725-572 against everyone else.

Hamlin, Busch feuding Associated Press
CONCORD — Just as Kyle Busch settled into a chair in the media center Thursday, someone dropped a package in front of him. It was a FedEx box. That’s Denny Hamlin’s NASCAR sponsor. Busch smiled, opened it up and found a pair of boxing gloves inside. Busch initially shrugged off the gag that came five days after his ontrack altercation with Hamlin in the All-Star race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, but Busch then sounded like he might consider going a round or two with his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate. If so, Hamlin is ready. Ding, ding. “Kyle brings this stuff on himself, and he gets mad at the media for asking him questions about his blowups,” Hamlin said. “But he does it to himself. I don’t want to be part of it. Any drama that he wants to create is on him. Anything he says on the radio is on him. “All I’m going to say, and I’m going to be done with it, is that each year I think Kyle’s going to grow and he just doesn’t. Until he puts it all together, that’s when he’ll become a champion, and right now he just doesn’t have himself all together.”
NEWMAN FROM 1B
“To have the courage to put yourself in that position is tough enough, let alone doing it, pulling it off and winning that pole. I’ve never been a guy to run the wall, let alone in qualifying.” No active driver has more poles at Charlotte than Newman, who moved within five of David Pearson’s track record. Now he’d like to finally turn it into success in NASCAR’s longest race. Newman has never won a Sprint Cup event at Charlotte. “It’s been easier for me to go out and run one lap and do it fast than it is to go out and run 600 miles
Although Busch insisted he and Hamlin have moved on from last weekend’s incident, he didn’t back down from radio chatter in which he threatened to kill Hamlin. Any regrets? “Absolutely not,” Busch said. “It was the heat of the moment and that’s who I am and that’s my expression and I am not going to be sorry for what I say. It’s freedom of speech. “I was frustrated. ... It was a saying that is said a lot, and take it for what it’s worth. ... It wasn’t joking, but it wasn’t going to happen. It wasn’t meant (like I was going to kill him). With what? With my great looks?”
Former NASCAR driver Steve Park will return to Daytona International Speedway in July and attempt to qualify for the Sprint Cup race in a car paying tribute to late modified legend Richie Evans. Park will drive the No. 36 Chevrolet for Tommy Baldwin Racing. It will be sponsored by fans and have each donor’s name integrated into the paint scheme. Evans, dubbed the “king of modified racing,” was fatally injured during practice at Martinsville in 1985.
fast,” Newman said. “I could do that, it’s just a matter of putting yourself in the track position, putting yourself in the right position, right tires, a good pit crew and things like that.” Newman will have plenty of competition Sunday. Busch’s lap of 187.292 mph came five days after he won the $1 million All-Star prize. “It’s just a good vibe we have,” Busch said. “Things are going good, and hopefully we can get it put together for the full 600 miles.” Martin Truex Jr. will start third, followed by Kasey Kahne, Jimmie Johnson and defending champion David Reutimann. Denny Hamlin qualified seventh and Kyle Busch ninth. Points leader Kevin Harvick qualified 23rd and Dale Earnhardt Jr. 24th.

Duke visits White House BY BEN FELLER Associated Press
WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This is what you get for ever picking North Carolina, Mr. President. President Barack Obama on Thursday heaped praise on the Duke menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team for winning the NCAA championship last month â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a Blue Devils squad that capped its run in one of the more exciting title games in recent memory, a 61-59 contest against Butler that came down to the final shot. But standing in the Rose Garden on a sticky day, Obama was still taking heat for (correctly) picking North Carolina, Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rival, to win it all in 2009. Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach, Mike Krzyzewski, jokingly bristled a bit at Obama then and said the president should sticking to fixing the economy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was nothing personal,â&#x20AC;? Obama joked on Thursday with the coach and team standing behind him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just trying to win some money.â&#x20AC;? A smiling Krzyzewski returned the favor by giving Obama a framed copy of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winning bracket â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with Duke right in the center. Obama lauded Duke for growing as a team and being part of their community. After their moment at the White House, the players and coaches were headed to the Penta-

The president commended the coach for his style, quoting Krzyzewskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s philosophy as saying a team is like a hand, which can attack with more force when it comes together like a fist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very subtle, coach,â&#x20AC;? Obama said. The hoops-loving Obama spent time talking to the players and taking photos before the ceremony. It came on a day when he also was announcing his latest steps on Gulf Coast oil spill, holding a news conference, meeting privately with former President Bill Clinton and hosting Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For him to take the time out to greet us in such a way is just terrific,â&#x20AC;?

POSSIDENTE FROM 1B
Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the back-row defensive specialist who wears a different jersey color from here teammates and spends whole matches doing nothing but dirty work. Liberos donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to attack. They just dig. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the rough knees came in. Possidente doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like bulky knee pads. She prefers the ones that are the size of band-aids. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just try to be low and quick and all over the place,â&#x20AC;? Possidente said with a laugh. Karen Garmon was Possidenteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball coach as a senior, and Possidente credits Garmon with elevating her game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a senior, I just played with much more con-
fidence,â&#x20AC;? said Possidente, who made the all-county team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started having confidence that I could even play at the college level.â&#x20AC;? Possidente traveled to several all-day High Performance volleyball camps, some more than an hour away, and found out she could compete with lots of strong players. Garmon had introduced Possidente to Brevard coach Brenda Skeffington. At one of those camps, Skeffington asked Possidente if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be interested in playing for the Tornados. Possidente was overwhelmed. It was a dreamcome-true moment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told Coach that she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really look that much like a warm and fuzzy per-
son, but that I was a warm and fuzzy person and I really needed to give her a hug,â&#x20AC;? Possidente said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She said a hug would be fine.â&#x20AC;? Possidente liked the school when she visited and liked the players even more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was my fit,â&#x20AC;? she said. Brevard, a private school in the SAC, is expensive, but Possidente is a great student who has accumulated enough academic and leadership scholarships to take care of 75 percent of the cost. She hopes to do well enough in volleyball to earn athletic money starting her sophomore year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No money my first year, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about the money,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an opportunity to do something I love with people I like.â&#x20AC;?
Possidente plans to major in a health-related field, but most of her current thoughts are on figuring out ways to prevent volleyballs from hitting the floor. When her future coach called recently to offer a choice of jersey numbers, Possidente turned cartwheels about getting No. 2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Derek Jeter! Go Yankees!â&#x20AC;? she whooped. Skeffingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recent call was to let Possidente know practice starts Aug. 15 and to come prepared for two grueling weeks of three-a-days. Not a problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Volleyball three times a day?â&#x20AC;? Possidente said cheerfully. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stopped grinning since she called.â&#x20AC;?

Dear Dr. Gott: I get severe leg cramps when I use Benadryl. Is it because I get dry
Dear Reader: There are a number of different Benadryl products on the market, each containing different inactive ingredients. And, as I have reported on countless occasions, all medications can carry side effects. As you have discovered, a common one in many Benadryl products is dry mouth. Furthermore, diphenhydramine/ ibuprofen can cause numbness of an arm or leg and unusual joint or muscle pain. Consider a trial without this medication. If your symptoms stop, you will have the answer. If you feel you need an antihistamine, speak with your physician regarding a substitution. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online. His website is www.AskDrGottMD. com. UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE, INC.

Ingrid Bergman said, “I’ve never sought success in order to get fame and money; it’s the talent and the passion that count in success.” In American duplicate tournaments, where there are no prizes, it’s talent and counting that result in success. The more counting you and your partner do, the more successful you will be — and the more masterpoints you will accumulate to count. This deal highlights an important aspect of defensive counting. You are East, defending against three no-trump. Partner leads the club queen. What would you do? North is a trick too strong for his three-diamond rebid, but anything else would be a gamble. (A

three-no-trump rebid would show this strong a hand, but the lack of a stopper in either of the unbid suits is a monster minus. If North-South belong in three no-trump, South ought to be the declarer.) First, read partner’s lead — what does it tell you? Since West is leading top

He has two hearts, seven diamonds (even if South is void, West’s queen-doubleton is dropping) and one club (that king). So, it cannot be right to win with the club ace and return a club. Declarer will claim at least one overtrick. The only chance for the defense is to cash four spade tricks now. You must win with your club ace and shift to the spade queen — bingo!

Dear Reader: You have certainly set up a confusing smoke screen for me. Tobacco use is known to affect circulation, but you don’t smoke. Alcohol can adversely affect the system, but you don’t drink. Some medications cause chills, but you don’t take any. Your thyroid is functioning normally, so that isn’t a contributing factor. Menopause can cause hot flashes but can also, in a small percentage of women, cause chills. However, you were 47 when you visited the hospital. That’s relatively early for menopause, which
is common for women in their early 50s. This natural biological process occurs once a woman has been free of menstrual periods for one year. Perhaps you have perimenopause, a transitional condition prior to menopause that can occur as early as the mid-30s or 40s and last up to eight years. As with menopause, hormonal changes occur and estrogen levels rise and fall. A common symptom, however, is hot flashes, not chills. Your physician can order simple laboratory testing to determine whether you are in either stage of menopause. Other possible causes are infections of any type, such as strep throat or dental issues, autoimmune disorders, leukemia and lymphoma. Along these lines, you might choose to speak with your physician regarding additional testing to rule out other possible causes. Once you cover all the bases, you can put your mind at ease on at least a few of the possibilities for your chills. To provide related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Menopause.” Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. Be sure to mention the title or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com.

Dear Dr. Gott: I have cold chills all the time. Even in the summer, I wear long sleeves and pants while others are wearing shorts. It started about five years ago, when my father was dying in the hospital. I thought I may have picked up a virus while visiting, but it hasn’t gone away. I don’t take any meds, don’t smoke, I am healthy, and my thyroid is OK. The doctors can’t explain it. My nose is red all the time, and people tease me and say I drink too much, but I don’t drink at all. I get goose bumps, and DR. PETER the hair stands GOTT up on my arms. I’m a 52-year-old female. Is it possible to be having cold chills instead of hot flashes? I hope you can help me.
