HAND-WRITTEN CIVIL WAR HISTORY Sisters began by writing out Davie’s involvement MOCKSVILLE — For five years, sisters Mary Alice Hasty and Hazel Winfree relied on John Spillman to supply the ham biscuits and coffee for breakfast or the tomato soup and grilled sandwiches for lunch. Meanwhile, they sat at Spillman’s dining room table — piled high with their research — and wrote out in longhand the manuscript for a state award-winning book, “The Civil War Roster for Davie County, North Carolina.” “I was a referMARK ee,” Spillman WINEKA says, laughing. “I kept them from clawing and biting each other. I kept the momentum going and gave them the praise they needed.” The sisters called him their business manager. His pay in the end: a free book. Published in 2009, the women’s book gives short biographies of 1,147 Davie County Confederate soldiers before, during and after the war. It’s filled with photographs and includes invaluable extras such as the company and regiment rosters for Davie County soldiers, townships covered by the census information they used, cemeteries in Davie County where Confederate soldiers are buried, the names of the Davie men who died in the Civil War and a complete bibliography and index. “It would make a movie,” Spillman says of the sisters’ devotion to the project. “Not ‘Gone With the Wind,’ but ... “The sequel,” Winfree says, finishing the thought. Hasty and Winfree won the 2009 Willie Parker Peace History Book Award from the N.C. Society of Historians Inc. They didn’t even know their book was in consideration until after the awards ceremony in Morehead
Lawsuit filed over allegation lists injuries to policeman’s leg, lack of disciplinary action BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
SPENCER — Longtime law enforcement officer James Schmierer, who works for the Spencer Police Department, filed a lawsuit against a fellow officer Hunter Shue and the town of Spencer alleging he was intentionally shot in the leg with a pellet gun and the police department took no action against Shue. The civil suit was filed Friday in Rowan County and says the shooting happened March 2 while both officers were in uniform outside the Spencer Police station. Schmierer says in his complaint he was shot multiple times from his ankle to mid-thigh. The suit does not indicate a motive for the shooting. The suit said SCHMIERER Schmierer was shot at close range with a gun that he said looked like a full-sized, black assault rifle with a folding stock and magazine. The pellet gun was an “automatic weapon that was shot numerous times,” the suit said. The shooting was “willful, wanton and reckless,” the suit said. There are no telephone listings for either Schmierer or Shue and neither could be reached for comment. Schmierer’s attorney, Seth Cohen, of Greensboro is on vacation all week and could not be reached for comment. The Spencer Police conducted an inves-

County stays mum on reasons for deputy’s dismissal BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — Rowan County officials did not respond to Post requests Tuesday for clarification on whether a recently fired deputy was terminated for disciplinary reasons. Meanwhile, the county attorney has advised county commissioners and others that though deputies are considered “at will” employees, a letter stating the reasons for their firing should be created and made public if the termination is a disciplinary action. At the request of the Post, the Sheriff’s Office released a memo Friday that had been given to the deputy, John Roach, upon his firing. Dated May 19 and initialed by Sheriff Kevin Auten, the memo said: “As of today Thursday, May 19, 2011, your services are no longer required at the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office. All county owned equipment should be returned immediately.” The Post requested more information, specifically a letter outlining the reasons for Roach’s termination if it was for disciplinary reasons, a requirement under a state law that went into effect Oct. 1. County attorney Jay Dees responded Friday that such letters aren’t required for deputies, who are considered “at will” employees serving at the pleasure of county sheriffs, and who can be fired with or without cause. In November, however, the state Attorney General’s Office, in an advisory opinion, said the new law requires public agencies to cre-

ate a dismissal letter for every employee fired for disciplinary reasons, “including employees who are not otherwise entitled to such formal notification.” Amanda Martin, an attorney for the Salisbury Post and the N.C. Press Association, said Tuesday that means so-called “at will” employees. “In our opinion, dismissal letters are required regardless of whether the dismissed employee is a state career employee or not,” Martin said. Dees responded on Tuesday that he “will respectfully disagree at this point, based on the distinction that no change has been made

as to whether sworn deputies are entitled to specific notice of dismissal that contains specific reasons for the dismissal.” Even so, in an opinion sent to county commissioners, Auten and County Manager Gary Page after the Post’s initial article, Dees wrote that while he believes it is “a stretch” to apply the new law to at-will employees, he advises the Sheriff’s Office to do so. “The sheriff is not required to state reasons for dismissal of sworn deputies,” Dees wrote in his opinion. “Although, where a dismissal is clearly based on conclusions that the dismissal is for disciplinary reasons, wrongdoing or violations of the state law, it is advised that the sheriff generate such a notice and clearly state the reasons therefor.” Neither Auten nor Dees responded Tuesday to direct questions asking if Roach was fired for disciplinary reasons. The Post also requested other information about Roach’s employment history, including suspensions, promotions and salary. That information had not been provided Tuesday evening. Auten said a new deputy has been hired to replace Roach, who was a member of the department’s Special Response Team. While the county argues that the Sheriff’s Office is not subject to the new personnel law, sheriffs across the state have joined with school boards and others in backing legislation that would specifically exempt agencies from providing dismissal letters for “at will” employees fired for disciplinary reasons.

Man charged after drag-strip stabbing SALISBURY — A Kannapolis man has been charged with attempted murder in a Saturday-night stabbing at the Mooresville Dragway. Robert David Trivett, 50, of 145 Afton Road, Kannapolis, is in the Rowan County jail under a $100,000 secured bond. Authorities with the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to the drag strip at 1255 Wilkinson Road off N.C. 152 around 10:30 p.m. Saturday. The drag strip was hosting the Mad Dawg Door Car Jam-A-Rama Friday and Saturday. When officers arrived, Rowan EMS was working on TRIVETT Baron Cass, who had been stabbed in the neck and abdomen. Cass was later flown to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte. He was not listed as a patient there Tuesday afternoon. The report said several people were in a heated argument when officers arrived. After interviewing witnesses, officers learned that Trivett and Cass were in the bathroom when an argument began. Others got involved, and at some point, the Sheriff’s Office said, Trivett stabbed Cass. As the investigating officer was writing his report, 911 communications called to say Trivett was on the phone and wanted to speak to detectives to give his side of the story, the report said. Lt. Chad Moose met Trivett at the Sheriff’s Office later Saturday night, interviewed him, and then charged him with attempted murder. Authorities said alcohol played a part in Saturday’s incident. It’s the second violent incident at the drag strip in less than a month. On May 7, authorities say, Quentin Mathis shot two men at the drag strip after a disagreement in the men’s bathroom. Mathis turned himself in last week and has been charged with two counts of attempted murder. He is in jail under a $1 million bond.

FROM 1a tigation and subsequently placed a letter of reprimand in Shue’s personnel file. Shue was not “demoted, suspended or terminated from employment,” the suit said. The town is liable to Schmierer for the actions of Shue, the court document said. The lawsuit said the incident has caused Schmierer “pain, lost wages, past as well as current and future medical bills, emotional distress, post traumatic stress disorder, nervousness, depression, insomnia and humiliation.” Shue “should have known” this would result in injury or harm. In 2008, Schmierer accused the town of East Spencer, where he’d served as interim police chief, and four aldermen of racial discrimination. The town and Schmierer settled that suit nearly four months after he filed. Shue began January 2009 as a police officer trainee with the Kannapolis Police Department and ended March 2009. The reason for separation with the Kannapolis Police Department is unclear as of Tuesday afternoon. The suit also alleges Police Chief Michael James took no other disciplinary action against Shue. James declined comments. He said he’s prohibited by law to speak about active cases. “We haven’t been served yet and will have an attorney review and file a response,” said Spencer Town Manager Larry Smith.

tives so they would know the real story. “I just wish George could know this,” Hasty says. While writing the book, the women took out newspaper notices asking people to bring them family photographs of ancestors who were in the Civil War. Sometimes, they also would make themselves available at the Davie Public Library on Sunday afternoons. Since the book’s publication, they have had four book signings. Spillman says people should realize that Hasty and Winfree produced the book out of love for the subject and at their own expense. They’ll never recoup the investment they have in the project, he says, but they’ve left Davie County with a historical treasure. The sisters want desperately to do another research project. “Man, I’d start tomorrow,” Winfree says. Meanwhile, after a 40-year break, Winfree has begun painting landscapes again. “I’ve decided I’m going to be the next Grandma Moses,” she says. (She is a great-grandmother.) Hasty has a more personal project in the back of her mind. Over 15 years, she taught English to 1,650 students in Harnett County. Through Facebook and other means, she would love to contact all of those students and give them another writing exercise. She would ask them to write about the most significant thing that has happened in their lives “since we parted.” She would collect the answers, she says, and publish them in a book. “Should I go get us some lunch?” Spillman asks.

June 7, 1865. “The execution order of 1865 overshadowed reality and the following rumor evolved:” the sisters’ book says. “Perry deserted, came home, was accosted on a path by Captain Clement and a contingent of men. He was shot where he stood by Captain Clement and that his body was left where it fell, and Perry’s 16-year-old son found his body and buried him where he lay.” But Hasty and Winfree point out that Etchison would have only been 19 years old himself and could not have had a 16-year-old son. “Unfortunately for his descendants,’ the women write, “the good news of Perry’s life was never told.” They learned that Etchison had married Nancy Parker in January of 1865, and the couple had two daughters, Sarah in 1867 and Hetty in 1871. The family lived in the Clarksville district for a while, where Etchison was a farm laborer. He died March 14, 1923, and is buried in Rose Cemetery. Hasty and Winfree also contacted Louise Stroud, “who had lived in Davie County 90-plus years and had a flawless memory,” the women wrote. She recalled that as a girl of 5 or 6, she watched a white-haired Etchison, Mocksville’s only policeman of the time, conducting his evening rounds in the square and lighting the kerosene lamps. “It was pure detective work,” Winfree says of the whole process behind the book. “... And some facts didn’t add up.” The sisters regret that one of Etchison’s descendants, George Smith, died before hearing that his ancestor was not executed as a deserter. Estelle, his wife, bought 11 of their books (at $60 each) and distributed them among rela-
Tillis said Perdue’s “rhetoric” doesn’t mesh with the math in the budget. The full education budget — for public schools, UNC and the community college system — spends 2.2 percent less than Perdue had offered in her budget proposal in February. Berger said Perdue got what she wanted in having the teaching assistants restored. “I hope that as she reads through it that she will see the numerous good things in this budget,” said Berger, R-Rockingham. The updated proposal also would: • Keep the State Bureau of Investigation and its embattled crime laboratory within the Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Roy Cooper. • Abolish the Health and Wellness Trust Fund, which receives 25 percent of the state’s share of the national tobacco settlement, and shift its $32.9 million to a state division to continue smoking and obesity prevention programs, among others. • Require tolls on all state-operated ferries except for two routes — between Hatteras and Ocracoke islands and between Knotts Island and mainland Currituck County. • Delete an earlier provision that would have made it difficult to help the state pay for two new Charlotte rail lines.

pal from Harnett County, where she led the effort in 1993 to publish a large-volume Harnett County heritage book. Winfree is a retired Salisbury Post proofreader and voracious reader in general. Together, they make a pair, always jabbing and kidding with each other. “We spent as much time laughing as writing,” Hasty says. “It was just so much fun.” Winfree remembers overhearing Hasty on the telephone with an archivist in Raleigh, asking for forgiveness and saying, “If I tell you my assistant is 83 years old, will that help?” “It made me feel sorry for her,” Winfree says. Hasty jokes that she always takes a pill before giving Winfree a call at her home in Cooleemee. The women worked out of their friend Spillman’s house because it was close to the library and, when they started, Hasty was in the transition from Harnett County and still waiting for her condominium to be constructed in Mocksville. As with many historians, the sisters discovered information that didn’t jibe with some published accounts from the past. Their work also helped to untangle the branches of family trees in Davie County. The case of W.C. Perry Etchison, private in Company F, 42nd Regiment, is a good example. For generations his descendants lived with the belief that he had been shot as a Confederate deserter. Having left the Confederate Army on many occasions only to be apprehended later, Etchison finally was sentenced to be shot for desertion in 1865. But the sisters’ research revealed that the sentence was suspended, and Etchison received a parole
point would be shelved. The extra funds to raise overall public education spending to nearly $11 billion in the compromise largely came from reducing reserves, the coming year’s payment for public employee pension funds and the income tax cut elimination. Perdue and other Democrats have been critical of the separate House and Senate plans, particularly on public education. They said the earlier Senate plan would have eliminated more than 20,000 positions through state government. The plan keeps in place more than $120 million in funding reductions for clerical and janitorial workers, assistant principals, building administrators and guidance counselors. Democrats and their allies argue these and other cuts could be preserved by keeping all or part of the temporary sales tax in place. “This budget is not an improvement for public education,” North Carolina Association of Educators lobbyist Brian Lewis said in a statement. “In fact, taken over the two years, it will cost public education teaching jobs, result in even higher class sizes, and do nothing to improve North Carolina’s standing in per pupil spending, which is near the bottom nationally.”

similar reductions over the past two years under Democratic rule at the Legislature. “There is nothing else left to cut but warm bodies,” Perdue told reporters later Tuesday in a conference call. “Don’t let them fool you. They are not protecting classrooms.” But one of the five House Democrats, Rep. Bill Owens of Pasquotank County, said he supports the updated budget and expected the other four to join. Owens, a fundraiser for Perdue’s re-election campaign, said there are things he doesn’t like in the budget but that his Republican colleagues have made changes they promised. “We haven’t digested everything, but basically it looks like ‘yes,’ ” said Owens when asked if he would vote for Tuesday’s plan. “Everything that we’ve talked about seems to be there. (Are) there still some tough cuts in the budget? Yes ... but at the end of the day, we’ve got to have a budget.” Temporary sales and income taxes approved by a Democratic-led Legislature in 2009 to close a budget gap still would expire on time, meaning the state would lose more than $1.3 billion in revenues.

The bill will be voted on the Senate floor today and Thursday and returned to the House, which could finalize the measure by Saturday and send it to Perdue, Senate leader Phil Berger said. The measure also would restore unemployment benefits to more than 40,000 long-term jobless workers. The fate of their benefits has been held up in a tug-of-war between Republicans and Perdue that already led to a separate veto. The potential deal would spend $300 million more for public schools than the House budget plan, according to the budget document. The new version restores funding for 13,000 teaching assistant positions in grades 1-3 that had been eliminated in an earlier Senate plan, at a cost of $390 million. The House had eliminated assistants in grades 2-3. The bill would still add money to hire more than 1,100 new teachers in those early grades. The University of North Carolina System would receive $100 million more than the House budget proposed. Perdue said in a statement that the education funding “appears to be a charade” that could lead to thousands of layoffs. The new plan required local school districts to make at their discretion $124 million in additional cuts beyond $305 million in

RALEIGH (AP) — Republican legislators were counting on at least four House Democrats Tuesday to approve a new $19.7 billion budget proposal to avoid long negotiations with the Democratic governor who is critical of their education spending. The Senate significantly changed its version released last week of a state government spending plan through mid-2013 as a compromise with House Republicans after negotiating a deal for days. GOP leaders are optimistic they’ll attract enough House Democrats to vote for the final product by the end of the week to avoid a potential veto showdown with Gov. Beverly Perdue. Five House Democrats voted for their chamber’s version of the budget four weeks ago, raising hopes among Republicans that they could get at least four of them to support a final budget compromise. Four would be needed to get the threefifths of the House members necessary to overturn any Perdue veto. “I’m very confident that they will vote for the budget, and I’m hopeful that the governor will not put anyone in a position to deal with an override,” House Speaker Thom Tillis, RMecklenburg, told reporters. “I think she should do the responsible to thing to put this in place.”

West Rowan cheerleaders Yasmine Lenster, Bailey Woodie, Emily Puckett and Madison Cook pose while stuffing care packages for their sister squad in Joplin, Mo. on Monday.
SPENCER — Proposed budget cuts in Spencer would eliminate two full-time and one part-time position, cut another position to part-time and split one employee’s time between two departments. The $2.44 million budget would eliminate a replacement police car and one set of fire department turnout gear, as well as furlough remaining town employees for three days during the next fiscal year, which starts July 1. Town Manager Larry Smith released the proposal Friday after a difficult budget workshop last month where Alderman Jeff Morris said he wanted more cuts. Mayor Jody Everhart doesn’t support the plan and said some aldermen are playing politics with the budget because it’s an election year. While the town needs to keep taxes as low as possible, residents are still willing to pay for services, Everhart said. “For the good of the town, we need to keep (the tax rate) at revenue-neutral,” he said. “I would like to see that reinstated.” Smith’s original budget, which cut one town position, had a tax rate of 65.6 cents. That rate, called revenue-neutral, would bring in the same amount of money as the current 60-

The poker run is a round trip from Tilley’s to Morrow Mountain, with the last bike out at 11 a.m. and the last bike
back by 3 p.m. There will be hot dogs and hamburgers available at Tilley’s following the run. The event will be held rain or shine. There will be door prizes, prizes for best and worst hands and a 50/50 drawing. The public is welcome to attend and can buy a poker hand.

East Spencer investigating weekend shootings EAST SPENCER — Police say they are still investigating three shootings over Memorial Day weekend. Saturday night 20-year-old Dadrian Donald was shot in the leg by an unknown assailant with a shotgun. Donald told officers with the East Spencer Police Department that he was walking down Heiligtown Road when he was shot. Police say Donald’s assailant may be the same person who stabbed 22-year-old Deshawn Outlaw at a Grant Street apartment last week. Outlaw has since been released. Monday night two victims arrived at Rowan Regional Medical Center at different times and police were called. To protect the victims, police said, names is not being released at this time. But neither victim from Monday’s shootings are cooperating with police, authorities said. East Spencer Assistant Chief Tim Wooten said the three men are doing fine and are expected to make full recoveries. One of the victims was shot multiple times, and two of the three were flown to a nearby hospital for treatment. Wooten said he wasn’t sure if Monday’s shootings were connected to Saturday’s shooting of Donald, or to last week’s stabbing of Outlaw, but they could be. “We get information off the street of people theorizing,” he said, “so right now it’s hard to tell.” Anyone with information is asked to contact Salisbury-Rowan Crime Stoppers, 1-866-639-5245.

This week brings high temps, bad air SALISBURY — Unless you have to be outside this week, the best advice is to stay indoors. It’s going to be hot, and the air will be unhealthy for some people. Temperatures climbed into the mid-90s Tuesday and daytime highs are expected to remain there the rest of the week — with a potential high of 97 today — the National Weather Service forecasts. Those temperatures create the danger of illnesses such heat exhaustion or heat stroke, which happen when a person’s body is unable to stay cool in extremely high temperatures. Heat exhaustion and heat stroke share some symptoms, including dizziness, headache, nausea and a fast heartbeat. Heat exhaustion can also be marked by heavy sweating, a feeling of confusion and dark-colored urine,
which indicates dehydration. Heat stroke, meanwhile, can show itself in symptoms such as lack of sweating, a high temperature, muscle cramps and seizures. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that though anyone can suffer a heat-related illness, some people are at greater risk. They include infants and young children, people 65 and older, people who have a mental illness, and people who are physically ill, especially those with heart disease or high blood pressure. The CDC recommends that when the temperature gets high, people drink more fluids — though not liquids that contain alcohol or large amounts of sugar, both of which can cause you to lose more body fluids. The agency also recommends using air conditioning — or taking cool showers if you don’t have air conditioning — and wearing
lightweight, light-colored and loose-fitting clothing. If you have to be outside, limit outdoor activity to morning and evening hours, cut down on exercise, rest often in shady areas and protect yourself from the sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. And, the CDC warns, never leave anyone in a closed, parked vehicle. Safe Kids North Carolina says 35 to 40 children die each year from heat exposure after being left in cars on hot days. The temperature in a closed vehicle can rise about 20 degrees in 10 minutes and nearly 30 degrees in 20 minutes, the organization says. And cracking a window has little effect. In addition to the heat, air quality will be a concern for the next several days. Today and Thursday are air quality action days, with the air quality forecast to be moderate — unhealthy for sensitive
Concord presents 2011-12 budget CONCORD — Concord City Manager Brian Hiatt presented a proposed budget Tuesday for the upcoming fiscal year that includes no tax increase and the smallest recommended general fund since 2007, the city said in a press release. The city said the primary focus of the budget is maintaining basic levels of service, emphasizing efficiency, customer service, and how the city delivers services. The budget, including all the various municipal funds, totals $207.7 million, an increase from the current budget that city officials attribute to increases in such areas as electricity costs from Duke Energy, completion of the funding for an Albemarle waterline construction project and the rise in aviation fuel costs. The recommended general fund budget, where the primary funding sources are property and sales tax receipts, is nearly $64.4 million — a decrease of $1.8 million, or 2.8 percent, from the current budget. The fiscal 2011-12 budget would keep the property tax rate at 42 cents for every $100 of assessed value. The budget recommends the elimination of 12 vacant positions and a continued “freeze” of 21 additional full-time and part-time jobs. A raise of 1.5 percent (minimum $600) per full-time employee based on performance is recommended ef-

SPENCER FROM 3a cent rate because Spencer’s property values fell due to revaluation. Morris objected last month to the revenue-neutral rate, saying it would give Spencer the highest tax rate in the county. He asked Smith to prepare a budget using a 62.8 cent rate, halfway between the current rate and revenue-neutral. That rate resulted in more proposed layoffs. “First and foremost, I will say that I regret the impact on the individual employees and their families,” Morris said in an email. Spencer residents will not suffer from lack of services, Morris said, and Smith’s plan makes sure duties are carried out in alternate ways. Morris insisted the town not dip into its fund balance. “The next revaluation won’t come until 2014, so I’m mindful that any plan to take from reserves this year would, at a minimum, involve dipping further into reserves for the next three consecutive budgets as well, or raising taxes,” Morris said. “It is my thought that
fective in December. The budget recommendation projects revenues conservatively and anticipates that sales and property tax revenues will decline, the press release said. “We hope local governments will begin to see revenues that reflect a stronger economy and we find our projections for FY 2011-12 to be too conservative,” Hiatt said in the press release. “However, we feel it is reasonable to assume that revenues will be, at best, flat during the fiscal year. The Philip Morris closure will continue to impact property tax revenues directly and sales tax revenues indirectly. “While this budget is designed to focus on basic services delivery, we cannot ignore other infrastructure needs that existed before the decline in the economy. We must prepare for the future, regardless of our financial constraints. Part of the preparation is anticipating the impact of the Cabarrus County property revaluation that will be effective in FY 201213.” The City Council will hold a budget workshop June 7. A public hearing on the budget will be held June 9 during the regular council meeting. The proposed budget is available on the city’s website at www.concordnc.gov. A printed version is available in the city clerk’s office.

groups. The main culprit is ozone, along with particle pollution. On moderate or code orange days, the air quality is unhealthy for sensitive groups. Children, active adults and those with heart or respiratory disease, including asthma, should limit outdoor activity. For additional information concerning the air quality forecast, including a detailed forecast discussion, visit the N.C. Division Of Air Quality website at www.ncair.org/ airaware/forecast. Open burning is generally prohibited on air quality action days. Burning trash and other non-vegetative material is always prohibited. Other ways to help reduce pollution include driving less by carpooling, taking the bus or telecommuting; conserving electricity; packing a lunch or walking to lunch; not idling your vehicle; refueling and mowing after 6 p.m.

Spencer proposed 2011-12 budget • $2.44 million total • 62.8 cent property tax rate (2.8-cent increase) • No cost of living adjustment, merit increase or longevity pay • Cuts administrative clerk and sanitation work • Cuts code enforcement officer to parttime • Splits police administrative position between two departments • No capital expenditures • Three-day furlough for employees
such irresponsible planning would be kicking the can down the road, for future boards to ‘fix.’ ” Morris’ directive prevented Smith from using any of the town’s $1.3 million reserve to balance the budget. Everhart said he would consider supporting the use of fund balance to prevent some of the cuts. He said he’s concerned with cuts to public safety, including the eliminated police car and fire turnout gear, as well as staff layoffs. In an election year when all seats on the town board are up for grabs, some aldermen are playing politics, Everhart said. If aldermen adopt the proposed budget, “this board is taking the easy way out,” he said. “They can say ‘I lowered the taxes,’ but you ac-

tually increased the taxes.” Everhart, who only votes in case of a tie, said residents would rather pay a revenueneutral rate and keep services. The board will have to make some cuts, he said, but the budget proposal goes too far. He supports the proposed change to curbside garbage pickup, which will eliminate one sanitation worker position. The town always has provided backyard garbage collection. The budget keeps land management services inhouse and maintains the director position but cuts the code enforcement officer job to part-time. While Morris has talked about contracting land management services, Everhart said he would oppose the move.
3:30-5 p.m.; South Rowan Regional, July 14, 3:30-5 p.m. • European Scavenger Hunt: interactive scavenger hunt at the library; Headquarters, July 19, 3:30-5 p.m.; East Branch, July 20, 3:30-5 p.m.; South Rowan Regional, July 21, 3:30-5 p.m. Also this summer, the library if offering a Parent and Family Reading Workshop from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on June 27 at the Headquarters location in Salisbury.

“I want to keep it,” Everhart said. “If we were to lose it, that would set us back 20 years.” The budget also would eliminate the account clerk II position, an administrator who works in the front office. Instead, the administrative position in the Spencer Police Department would take over those duties, with the salary split 50-50 between police and administration. The town lost $26,000 annually when the state ended a security contract with Spencer police to patrol the N.C. Transportation Museum. Morris said he hasn’t yet decided whether to support the budget proposal and anticipates other aldermen will find some aspects untenable and move to reinstate some items or positions. “As those proposed cuts go by the wayside, I would want something else cut in order to avoid a planned dip into reserve funds,” he said. Other aldermen could not be reached for comment or said they hadn’t had time to study the budget proposal because they had been out of town over the holiday weekend.

And the girls won’t stop helping after the care packages are shipped off. Griffin said they’ll continue to send packages throughout the summer and into the school year. “This shipment is really just to stock them up for cheer camp on June 17,” cocoach Jennifer Stamp said. “These are small items that they won’t have to go and purchase.” Stamp said she got the idea to “adopt” the Joplin squads online after seeing where another squad had adopted a team in Alabama. She contacted a friend in Missouri and the project took off from there. Stamp and co-coach Erin Shelton pitched the idea to the West squads and they began gathering items to send. “They were very, very excited,” Stamp said. Griffin and Baugh are hop-

Shelton said it’s a blessing to be able to reach out to the Joplin squads. “I think this will be a life lesson for the girls,” she said. “We don’t realized how fortunate we are until we see others in need.” Shelton also hopes the girls will realize the world doesn’t stop at the boundaries of Rowan County. “Sometimes as a teenager things feel all consuming,” she said. ‘This is a humbling experience for them to realize that some people have it way worse.” Contact reporter Sarah campbell at 704-797-7683.

2 Perdue press employees could lose job in budget RALEIGH (AP) — Two voices on behalf of Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue could be out of work soon under a potential final budget deal by Republicans. The budget unveiled Tuesday would eliminate jobs for Perdue Communications Director Chrissy Pearson and deputy director Mark Johnson. They are among 18 Governor’s Office positions cut in the plan being voted upon Wednesday by the Senate, including two education advisers. Eight are vacant. Her office budget would be cut 23 percent. Budget-writer Sen. Richard Stevens of Cary said Perdue’s office had nearly 70 positions and the governor can access advisers throughout state government. Pearson pointed out the General Assembly cut its own staff by 2 percent. She wrote in an email that she and Johnson’s jobs were up for elimination because they “must have struck a nerve.”

The Salisbury Rotary Club has raised $172,575 toward construction of a Patriots Flag Concourse and Memorial at City Park. That’s 86 percent of the way toward the club’s $200,000 goal, with a June 14 deadline for fundraising. Club members heard an update on the project Tuesday, given by Edward Clement, Reid Leonard and President Seamus Donaldson. Leonard proposed the project to Donaldson several months ago as a way to honor area veterans — past, present and future — and mark the recent centennial of Rotary International. The brick-paved concourse will be constructed on park property at the corner of North Jackson and West Miller streets. Formerly the site for the armory, the area has been overlooked in recent years, Clement said. Establishing the concourse and memorial there will give City Park two “parks within a park,” with Hurley Park on the other end, he said. Standing on the concourse

Bill would track illegal immigrants in schools RALEIGH (AP) — A bill that would require principals to keep track of illegal immigrants in their schools would intimidate parents and likely run afoul of federal law, opponents told a legislative panel on Tuesday. Members of the public spoke against a bill introduced by Rep. Dale Folwell, R-Forsyth, who says the legislation wouldn’t bar anyone from attending school in North Carolina, but would be important for determining the costs of illegal immigration to the state. “In this building, we’re having to make decisions about who gets money and who doesn’t,” Folwell said. “The people of this state deserve to know what their public education dollars are going for.” The House Education Committee, which is considering the bill, didn’t vote on the measure Tuesday. Chairman Rep. Bryan Holloway, R-Rockingham said members would want to hear from the public and take time to think over the legislation first. None of the nine people who spoke Tuesday were in favor of the legislation, including Ann McColl, a representative for the State Board of Education, who said the bill would risk putting school districts in the position of having to violate federal law. “It truly is the role of educators to educate whoever comes through the door,” she said. In 1982, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that all children are entitled to a public education, including children who are in the U.S. illegally. Earlier this month, the federal Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights sent out a letter warning school districts not to let enrollment policies lead to the exclusion of students based on their immigration status. “You must ensure that you do not discriminate on the basis of race,
color, or national origin, and that students are not barred from enrolling in public schools at the elementary and secondary levels on the basis of their own citizenship or immigration status,” the letter reads. Folwell’s bill would require principals to ask the parents of new students to say whether the child is a U.S. citizen, and if not, to give the student’s immigration status. The language of the bill says the information will only be used for fiscal analysis, and not to deny admission to any student. The bill would also require parents to provide immunization records for their children. “This is a very serious problem,” Folwell said. “We must get our arms around the unfunded mandate of illegal immigration in this state.” But critics said the unintended consequence of such a law would be a chilling effect on immigrants, with some parents likely opting not to enroll their children in school at all. Viridiana Martinez, 24, of Durham said she came to North Carolina with her parents when she was in second grade, and graduated from high school here. Had such a law existed when she was in school, she said, “I would not have felt safe. I would have felt targeted.” Immigration has become an increasingly heated topic in North Carolina, especially regarding immigrants from Latin American countries. The most recent U.S. Census data shows that the Latino population of North Carolina roughly doubled in the last 10 years, to more than 800,000, although estimates of illegal immigrants are difficult to make. Earlier this month, the Southern Poverty Law Center filed a civil rights complaint with the U.S. Department of Education, charging that Durham schools are discriminating against Latino students by providing inadequate resources, a charge the school district denies.
Vote on South Carolina illegal immigration bill put off a day COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — As the legislative session drew near to a close, South Carolina senators decided Tuesday to postpone voting on a bill that would require officers to try to check suspects’ immigration status. Senators must decide whether to further amend or accept legislation the House approved last week. They’ll likely take it up today. Sen. Larry Martin, R-Pickens, said he’ll ask senators to approve some minor wording changes. A panel he leads was set to meet Tuesday on the amendments. The director of the state’s labor agency was also expected to testify about last week’s U.S. Supreme Court decision on illegal immigration. But the meeting had to be rescheduled as debate continued on the Senate floor. Supporters of the measure say they hope the law would cause illegal immigrants to leave the state and free up jobs. Opponents say it will encourage racial profiling and invite lawsuits. The bill specifies that a check of immigration status must follow a stop or arrest for something else. Someone with a valid driver’s license, military ID or passport would be presumed a legal resident. Unlike a law passed in Arizona last year, the South Carolina proposal bars officers from holding someone on the suspicion of being an illegal immigrant. Though the proposal specifies that suspicion can’t be based on race,
color or national origin, opponents contend that clause is meaningless. They argue that by not defining “reasonable suspicion,” lawmakers would allow abuse. The measure would also make it a felony to make fake photo IDs for illegal immigrants, and would create a new unit within the Department of Public Safety to enforce the state’s immigration law. The version passed by the Senate earlier this year tacked a fee onto out-of-country wire transfers in an attempt to tax immigrants who send money home. The resulting revenue was supposed to fund the new unit. But the House removed that provision, saying it would tax legal residents too, including military families and online shoppers who buy items from companies that operate or process payments overseas. Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld an Arizona law that penalizes businesses for hiring workers in the country illegally. That law is similar to one that South Carolina passed in 2008, requiring businesses to use the E-verify system to check workers’ legal status or else hire only people who hold a valid driver’s license from South Carolina or other state with similarly strict license requirements. The requirements began applying to South Carolina businesses of all sizes last year. Changes added by the House include toughening penalties for businesses that repeatedly violate the law.
Authorities: SC trooper fired after DUI arrest SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) — A South Carolina Highway Patrol trooper has been fired after authorities say he was arrested for driving under the influence. Patrol spokesman Sid Gaulden tells WHNS-TV that Zachary Gilbert was fired Monday after first being suspended without pay. Spartanburg County sheriff’s deputies arrested Gilbert on Saturday and
charged him with driving under the influence and having an open container of alcohol in a vehicle. Gaulden says drinking and driving, seat belts usage and speeding have been the top three priorities for enforcement for the highway patrol. No court date has been set for Gilbert. It wasn’t immediately clear if he has an attorney.
Cops: Man spanked boys after selling them smokes LEXINGTON, S.C. (AP) — Lexington County deputies say they arrested a 50-year-old convenience store clerk who sold cigarettes and smokeless tobacco to boys after they let him spank them. Deputies said Tuesday that they started investigating Terrence Bryant after the father of a 12-yearold boy found him with a pack of Newport cigarettes earlier this month. Detectives say Bryant sold the boy
cigarettes at least five times from his pickup truck, spanking the child in the parking lot over his clothes. Deputies say Bryant also sold tobacco to two 15-year-old boys after spanking them. Bryant is charged with three counts of lewd act upon a child under age 16. He is awaiting a bond hearing at the Lexington County jail and deputies say he doesn’t have an attorney yet.

StateBriefs Officials shoot bear roaming at airport GREENSBORO (AP) — Wildlife officials have shot and killed a bear seen roaming around the airport in Greensboro. U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services spokeswoman Carol Bannerman says the bear was shot and killed at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday. Airport officials say the bear was spotted around midnight Monday and got in front of a plane trying to takeoff at around 6 a.m. Bannerman says the bear is the first to be killed at a U.S. airport. Bears have been increasingly visible in North Carolina this spring. On Sunday, wildlife officials say a bear took a wrong turn and ended up near downtown Greensboro. Officials say bears are active as they look for food and mates after a long winter.
Budget may keep 2 toll roads and 2 free ferries RALEIGH (AP) — The Senate’s updated budget would keep a pair of North Carolina toll road projects in place while exempting two ferry routes from new tolls. The bill rolled out Tuesday as a potential budget deal would allow the North Carolina Turnpike Authority to keep building the proposed Garden Parkway from Gaston County to the Charlotte airport and the Mid-Currituck Bridge connecting the Outer Banks to mainland Currituck County. Last week’s Senate budget would have eliminated those projects. This week’s proposal still would take away $82 million for the two road projects and use it for other purposes. The final measure would require tolls on all state-operated ferries except for two routes — between Hatteras and Ocracoke islands and between Knotts Island and mainland Currituck County.
Bill would require photo ID for some medication RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina pharmacists would have to ask for photo ID from customers picking up some types of medication, including particularly strong painkillers, under a bill that has won tentative House approval. The chamber voted 105-10 on Tuesday to approve a measure requiring people to provide identification when dropping off or picking up a prescription that includes drugs regulated by the federal government as Schedule II substances. That list includes painkillers derived from oxycodone, along with codeine, morphine and other common drugs. Powerful painkillers made from so-called synthetic opiates have long been sought after by drug addicts, especially in rural areas. Supporters say the bill will help prevent the abuse of prescription medication. The bill is scheduled for a final vote today.
Divided NC House sends jobs bill to Senate RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina lawmakers have approved a bill designed to boost private sector hiring by offering tax cuts of up to $3,500 for employers. After a debate that took place largely along party lines Tuesday, the House of Representatives voted 79-36 to send the legislation to the Senate. Democrats argued that the tax credits are too small to prompt significant hiring in the private sector. They also pointed out that the bill will cost the state $131 million in lost tax revenue in the first year after passage. Republicans countered that tax relief is the best way to spur economic growth. Mecklenburg Republican Rep. Ruth Samuelson says it’s especially an incentive for new businesses to keep growing.
House sets up final vote on workers’ comp bill RALEIGH (AP) — A measure designed to make North Carolina’s workers’ compensation laws comparable to other states has passed a crucial hurdle in the legislature. The House of Representatives voted 106-8 on Tuesday to approve a bill that would cap temporary payments for totally disabled workers at nearly 10 years. The current law has no cap on payments, which advocates of the bill say puts the state at a disadvantage. A final vote on the legislation is scheduled for today. The bill would also raise the maximum time partially disabled workers can receive benefits, and would increase death benefits. The measure’s backers say the
legislation is the product of weeks then trying to steal sausage packof negotiation with employers, ets, biscuits and lemonade from a grocery store. employees and the state.

they skyrocketed nearly 43 percent. Prices there soon leveled off before plunging in 2007 and 2008. They’re now back to 2000 levels. Coastal areas, such as San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Washington and Boston, have fared comparatively better in the past two years. They have been helped by healthy local economies, desirable city centers and limited space for new housing. In New York, homes are still 63 percent more expensive than in 2000. In the middle are cities like Dallas, Denver, Minneapolis and Cleveland, which are seen as bellwethers for the national housing market. Before the housing boom, prices in Minneapolis rose 7 percent or more a year. Then they stalled in 2006, fell in 2007 and 2008, and rose modestly in 2009. Last year, prices started falling again and haven’t stopped. Over the past decade, Dallas has grown faster than any other metro area. Among companies that have moved their headquarters there are Comerica Inc. and AT&T. Construction surged to meet the demand. But since the housing bubble burst, foreclosures have risen. Many homes have been sold at steep discounts. Dallas-area foreclosures bought at auction in March sold for just 57 percent of their appraised value, according to Foreclosure Listing Service. Denver had also avoided the peaks and valleys of the bubble and bust. It enjoys a diversified local economy that has expanded to include the telecommunications, wind-energy and space-technology industries. Foreclosures haven’t flooded the Denver market. But many of Denver’s potential buyers, most of whom would otherwise be first-timers, are opting to rent instead. “When they’re doing the calculations to rent versus buy, they’re choosing to rent,� said Gary Bauer, a broker in Littleton, Colo., outside Denver. “It’s simple math, and for many people, it’s too expensive to own.� As a result, falling prices have turned once-costly, newer subdivisions, including
those in Aurora and Commerce City, into largely vacant neighborhoods. “The closer to the mountains you are here, the pricier it is, so people built a lot of new, big homes during the housing boom,� said Yve Roberts, a Denver real estate agent. “They thought that’s where the next wave of houses would be. But many of the young people that bought there can’t afford it anymore.� In the next two months, prices in Dallas and Denver are expected to reach their lowest since the housing downturn began. In 12 other cities, prices are already at the lowest point since the end of the boom: Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Las Vegas, Miami, Minneapolis, New York, Phoenix, Portland, Ore., and Tampa, Fla. Minneapolis fared the worst in March, with prices down 3.7 percent. They dropped 2.4 percent in Charlotte and Chicago and 2 percent in Detroit. Prices rose 0.1 percent in Seattle and 1.1 percent in Washington. The nation’s capital is the only metro area in the index where prices have risen in the past year. One obstacle to a rebound in prices: A delay in processing foreclosures. Homes in foreclosure sell at a 20 percent discount on average, which can hurt prices in the neighborhood. But many foreclosure sales have been delayed while federal regulators, state attorneys general and banks review how those foreclosures were carried out over the past two years. Once those homes are eventually foreclosed upon, they will cause prices to fall even further. Those declines are “etched in stone,� said Patrick Newport, U.S. economist at IHS Global Insight. Home equity accounts for most of the wealth of typical households. So when prices fall, they have “important spillover effects on other sectors of the economy,� said Yelena Shulyatyeva, an analyst at BNP Paribas. Those sectors include consumer spending and state and local property tax collections. Consumer spending fuels about 70 percent of the overall economy. “Folks are having so much difficulty in getting financing for a home,� said Mark Vitner, senior economist at Wells Fargo. “And foreclosures will likely bring about a third dip. It may be early next year before prices hit bottom.� That won’t change soon. Roughly 92 percent of homeowners say it’s a bad time to sell their home, according to the latest Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan index of consumer sentiment. In the seven years before its peak in July 2006, the home-price index surged 155 percent. Since then, it’s fallen 33 percent. During the Great Depression, prices fell 31 percent. It took 19 years for the housing market to regain its losses after the Depression ended.

DC Comics to relaunch most titles at No. 1
$
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — DC Comics is going back to the starting point in September, renumbering its entire lineup of DC Universe titles with No. 1 and retooling nearly all of its major characters, including Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman. At the same time, the company, which has been publishing comics for 76 years, also said it would start selling digital copies of its printed ongoing superhero titles through apps and a website the same day they’re released in comic shops, a move dubbed by the industry as day-and-date sales. That will affect the company’s superhero titles. That means DC is joining a movement already embraced by Archie Comics, which began same-day digital and print sales in April, along with other smaller publishers. DC’s rival, Marvel Comics, has not yet implemented such a move but has routinely held more market share every year since 2002, based on sales statistics from Diamond Comic Distributors. USA Today reported that DC’s move will start with the first issue of “Justice League� No. 1 in September, which will reunite the classic lineup of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman and Green Lantern. The newspaper reported that 52 issues, all starting at No. 1, will be released starting at the end of the summer. “Justice League� is the first and will be written by DC’s chief creative officer Geoff

Johns and illustrated by co-publisher Jim Lee, the first time the pair have collaborated together, the company said. Lee has also designed the costumes of more than 50 characters, the paper reported. In a note to direct-market retailers, Bob Wayne, senior vice president for sales, said by rebooting the superhero titles and moving to day-and-date digital sales, DC was positioning itself to let readers experience characters in a new light. “We have taken great care in maintaining continuity where most important, but fans will see a new approach to our storytelling,� he said in the letter. “Some of the characters will have new origins, while others will undergo minor changes. Our characters are always being updated; however, this is the first time all of our characters will be presented in a new way all at once.� It remains to be seen if the renumbering will affect such long-published titles like Action Comics, which reached No. 900 this year, and Detective Comics, which is at No. 877. Some of DC’s titles are already available digitally through apps and in March it joined Comixology’s Digital Storefront Affiliate program, which lets shops sell digital comics along with printed copies. The move comes after the conclusion of the company’s epic “Flashpoint� mini-series, also penned by Johns, that has changed the face of the DC Universe and made some well-known characters into different versions of their normal, and entrenched, personalities.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Even cities that weathered the housing market crash with relatively little damage are suffering now. Severe price declines have spread to Dallas, Denver, Minneapolis and Cleveland, which had mostly withstood the bust in housing since 2006. The damage has now gone well beyond cities hit hardest by unemployment and foreclosures, such as Phoenix and Las Vegas. “We didn’t enjoy the highs and the lows like other cities,� said Kay Weeks, a Realtor with Ebby Halliday in Dallas, where prices fell nearly 1 percent in March and are expected to keep falling. “But when we get bad news nationally, people take notice and cut back on spending and buying homes.� Home prices in big metro areas have sunk to their lowest since 2002, the Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller 20-city monthly index showed Tuesday. Since the bubble burst in 2006, prices have fallen more than they did during the Great Depression. The index, which covers metro areas that include about 70 percent of U.S. households, is updated every quarter and provides a three-month average. The March data is the latest available. Foreclosures have forced prices down so much that some middle-class neighborhoods have turned into lowerincome areas within months. Prices are expected to keep falling until the glut of foreclosures for sale is reduced, companies start hiring in greater force, banks ease lending rules and more people think it makes sense again to buy a house. In some markets, that could take years. The latest report points to a “double dip in home prices across much of the nation,� said David Blitzer, chairman of the Index Committee at Standard & Poor’s. Prices fell from February to March in 18 of the metro areas tracked by the Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller index. And prices in a dozen markets have reached their lowest points since the housing bubble burst in late 2006. The overall index fell for the eighth straight month and has dropped 3.6 percent in the past year. Prices had risen last summer, fueled by a temporary federal homebuying tax credit. But they’ve tumbled 7 percent since then. After adjusting for inflation, the homeprice index has sunk to the level of 1999. Cities with high foreclosures such as Phoenix, Las Vegas and Tampa, Fla., are flooded with homes sitting vacant, awaiting buyers. Many banks have agreed to allow homes at risk of foreclosure to be sold for less than what is owed on their mortgages. That has pulled down prices. In Phoenix, for example, home prices rose about 5 percent to 6 percent annually in the pre-boom years before exploding nearly 23 percent in 2004. The next year, in 2005,

Extreme makeover: Salad edition 3 cups thinly shredded Napa cabbage 1 small red bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced. 1 cup shredded carrots 3 ⁄4 cup sliced scallions 1 cup chow mein noodles
BY JIM ROMANOFF Associated Press
Restaurant diners hoping to lighten their load often go for salads. The usual suspects? The grilled chicken Caesar, the Cobb and Chinese chicken salad. Here’s the problem — they’re not always as light as you might think. At one popular national chain, the Chinese chicken salad has almost 25 grams of fat and the Cobb salad has 80 grams. You might as well just eat a cheesy pizza. But don’t write off the idea of a dinner salad just yet. Our Valencia grilled chicken salad is a healthful reimagining of the Chinese chicken salad that can be prepared at home in under a half an hour. We start with Napa cabbage, which has yellow-green, ruffled leaves that are a lot more inviting than your standard, rather rubbery-looking green cabbage. And Napa cabbage, besides being an excellent source for vitamins A and C, has a high water content, which makes it filling without lots of calories. The salad is enriched with a rainbow of other nutritious fruits and vegetables, such as wedges of Valencia orange, red bell pepper and carrots. The dressing for this salad is key to keeping it light. Instead of going the traditional route of using a high-in-fat oil base, we call for sweet white miso, a fermented soybean paste that gives the dressing its body along with a mellow, sweet and salty flavor. Look for it along with other refrigerated Asian ingredients in the produce section. Of course, the salad wouldn’t be right without crunchy chow mein noodles on top. When you buy them, choose

Who benefits most from weight-loss TV shows? SANDY COHEN AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Despite all the “Biggest Loser”type shows on TV, all the pounds shed by their contestants and all the weight-loss products purchased by viewers, America continues to be the Biggest Gainer. At least 10 weight-loss shows are airing these days, and on “The Biggest Loser” alone, this season’s three top finalists dropped a combined 365 pounds. Yet the rest of us are just getting chubbier, with obesity rates in the United States now the highest of any industrialized nation. In fact, more people are obese today than when “Loser” premiered in 2004. So why aren’t these reality shows helping in the fat fight? JD Roth, executive producer of “Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition,” thinks they actually are. “The first step to changing some systemic problem in society is awareness and I think (weight) awareness is at an alltime high,” says the 43-year-old producer, who is also behind ‘Biggest Loser.”’ Dr. Terry Schaack, medical director of the California Health & Longevity Institute, where ‘Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss’ participants do an introductory ‘boot camp,’ says there can be a long delay between awareness and action. “You will see nothing in national figures for probably eight to 10 years after a dramatic incident occurs,” he says. “The U.S. Surgeon General went out and told people to quit smoking, I believe it was in ‘67. A horde of people quit smoking, and the incidence of heart disease went down 15 or 20 years later. It takes that long.’ In the meantime, in addition to “The Biggest Loser,” an ample array of weight-loss shows should offer plenty of inspiration to Americans trying to slim down: The CW’s “Shedding for the

‘Screen time’ can affect your weight T
his week we are going to talk about taming the tube. Are you mindful that screen time can have an impact on your weight? Take a minute to think about the past few evenings after dinner. What did you do with your time? Many of us spend a lot of our free time in front of a TV or computer screen. “Screen time,” as we call it, is increasing in all age groups across the country and we spend more and more time watching television, DVDs and using the computer. Yet, we often hear ourselves saying, “I don’t have time to eat right or exercise.” The problem TOI may not be that we don’t have time DEGREE but that we are spending our time doing other things — like sitting in front of a screen. So just how much are we watching? According to a studies conducted by Nielsen Media Research and the Digital Journal: • On average, households in the U.S. have the TV on over eight hours a day. • Digital Journal found that adults spend more time with their computers at home than they do with their spouse or partner. Do you remember a time when we were limited to three or four channels on TV? If so, you are able to see how over the years there has been a huge increase in viewing options, with hundreds of channels, video, DVD and pay-per-view. These days you could spend hours just surfing and never really watch a show. We now have MP3 players, laptop computers, DVRs, etc. Most homes have computers with high-speed Internet access. So what am I trying to say? More television watching contributes to a higher body weight. Adults who watch more than two hours of TV a day tend to weigh more than people who watch less than that. Children who watch more television have higher body weights than children who watch less. Why? When we watch TV, we’re inactive and only burning as many calories as we do when we’re sleeping. This also applies to sitting in front of a computer screen or playing video games. Plus, we’re watching commercials. A one-hour show on commercial television has about 20 minutes of commercials. A half-hour show is only about 18 minutes of actual programming — the rest is commercials. So watching two hours of TV a day, every day of the week, you will watch 90 minutes of ads, mostly for foods and drinks high in sugar, fat and calories. The foods we over-eat — sugary drinks, sweet and salty snacks and fast food — are the very foods that we see advertised over and over again. Another reason TV watching leads to weight gain is that we often snack on higher-calorie foods such as chips, nuts or ice cream while watching. Eating while watching TV is not mindful eating. We are distracted from how much we are eating and from paying attention to how full we are. One study found that each hour of TV watching results in eating 50 to almost 140 extra calories. If you watch two hours of TV a day, and eat even a light snack (50 calories’ worth), you could gain almost 4 pounds in one year if all else remains the same. So what can we do to decrease TV watching? • Get the TV and computers out of the bedroom. A television in the bedroom is not good for

Joggers are framed through public exercise equipment on Santa Monica Beach, in Santa Monica, Calif. Despite all the ‘Biggest Loser’ type shows on the air, all the pounds shed on those shows and all the weight-loss products purchased by viewers at home, America continues to be the Biggest Gainer. Wedding” features overweight couples competing in weightloss challenges to earn elements of their dream wedding. Oxygen’s “Dance Your A** Off” scores plus-sized participants on their dance abilities and pounds lost. Lifetime’s “DietTribe” tracked the weightloss progress of five real women over four months of intense diet and exercise. The Style Network has “Ruby,” a series that follows its morbidly obese namesake star on her journey to regain her health. There’s also MTV’s “I Used to Be Fat,” Discovery’s “One Big Happy Family” and “A&E’s “Heavy.” Two more weight-related series are premiering: Lifetime’s “Love Handles,” featuring overweight couples working to heal their relationships as they shed pounds; and ABC’s new “Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition,” which follows one super-obese subject each week and tracks that person’s weight-loss progress over one year during each hour-long
episode. Yet even as the number of weight-loss shows continues to expand, so does the nation’s waistline. More than 72 million Americans are considered obese and millions more are overweight. Still, the health and fitness industry continues to flourish: Dietary supplements bring in $26.9 billion annually, health clubs generate $24.8 billion a year, weight-loss centers take in $3.9 billion in revenue annually — and all are poised to grow. But industry-watchers say this has nothing to do with weight-related reality shows. “Fitness shows are not driving the trends in fitness, but more grabbing onto the coattails of the success of the fitness industry,” says Taylor Hamilton, an analyst with IBIS World. He attributes the growth in gym locations and memberships to an increased overall emphasis on fitness nationwide. Shaack and dietician Paulette Lambert, who is fea-
tured on “Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition,” say they wish these shows offered more “teachable moments” for viewers. The format of “Makeover” lends itself to such moments, they say, since it isn’t a competition such as “Biggest Loser.” Each “Makeover” episode follows only one person, and they aren’t taken away to a ranch: The super-obese subjects aim to shed about half their body weight in a year through diet and exercise while still living at home. “You’ve got to prove you can do it on your own, in the same environment that got you fat,” Roth says. “The stakes are real. The stakes are life. It’s not a million dollars or some contrived prize.” “” participants first spend a week at the California Health & Longevity Institute, a stateof-the-art facility that blends medical support with cooking classes, fitness training, healing arts such as hypnosis and

• Pocket Massager. I recently discovered the best massage tool ever. I had a pesky knot in my shoulder, and I came across an old baseball at home. I thought the shape might put the right pressure on the knot, and ball would let me rub it out. Now I carry it with me everywhere. It’s small enough to fit into my purse and way cheaper than other personal massagers. — Sheri, email
• Laundry Soap Pest Spray. We have a problem in our area with boxelder bugs. They don’t bite or sting, but they’re pesky and keep getting into the house. A friend suggested a bit of laundry soap in a sprayer full of water would kill them. I was thrilled to discover that not only are the boxelder bugs dead within 30 seconds, it works on wasps and hornets,
too. I haven’t bought a can of wasp spray in years. Whenever I see a nest forming, I get out the sprayer. The siding looks nice after a soapy application, too. I use about a half cup of laundry soap poured into the jar of my hose-end sprayer. — Stephen • Oxi-Clean The Grout. I mix Oxi-Clean with water to make a paste that I use to cover all of my dirty grout. I brush the paste onto the grout and let it set for about an hour. Once it’s rinsed off, the white grout looks like new. And I didn’t have to do any scrubbing, either. — Delores, California
• Potato Masher For Mixing. I make Gougeres (a cheesy roll similar to a cream puff) for special occasions. The last time I made them, the batter was thick like cement and my hands were getting tired and cramped. I had to fully incorporate eight eggs into the batter, one at a time. I finally
gave up on my wooden spoon and pulled out my potato masher. Not only was the handle wider and easier to grip than a spoon, the mashing end did a beautiful job pulling the dough together and mixing it thoroughly with much less effort and strain on my part. I will never hesitate to put my potato masher to work in other ways in the future. A true hand-saver. — Amy, North Carolina CREATORS.COM

‘AT WILL’ EMPLOYEES
A glaring gap in disclosure Budgets are like relatives hen the Salisbury Police Department recently placed a civilian employee on leave, citizens weren’t left in the dark about the reasons. Chief Rory Collins said Jeffrey Emerson was on paid leave while state authorities review “cash accounting irregularities” in the evidence control room. The chief also acknowledged that the situation could reflect negatively on the department but said it was important “for us to be transparent” and inform the public. As unpleasant as it is to reveal possible improprieties by a department employee, the chief did the smart thing. Salisbury citizens don’t have to speculate about what transpired; they know what’s under investigation, even if they don’t have all the details. They also know that when the investigation is complete they will learn whether the employee was exonerated or faces further action. Contrast that with a recent personnel action in the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office. Deputy John Roach was fired, but Sheriff Kevin Auten would not say why, on the grounds that state law doesn’t require that disclosure for “at will” employees such as deputies, who serve at the pleasure of the sheriff. In an e-mail County Attorney Jay Dees sent to members of the commission (and copied to the Post), he explains that the disclosure rules may not apply to “at will” employees in the same way that they apply to others under state and county personnel policies, especially if the “at will” employee is not dismissed for disciplinary reasons. Amanda Martin, an attorney for the N.C. Press Association, disputes that interpretation — and for good reason. In effect, it grants extraordinary leeway to sheriffs and others who supervise “at will” workers. They can fire employees without putting that reason on record, and the lack of a stated reason then becomes the rationale for saying the situation is exempt from disclosure rules. That’s a glaring legal loophole — one that doesn’t gibe with the spirit of disclosure rules enacted last fall. Rather than close it, the N.C. Sheriff’s Association wants it set in stone through a legislative change, proposed by state Sen. Pete Brunstetter (R-Forsyth), that would exempt sheriff’s departments and other “at will” employers from having to write dismissal letters for terminated employees. Personnel issues are often messy, particularly when they involve officers expected to uphold high standards of behavior. Public officials also may have to walk a fine line between informing the public and avoiding the violation of a dismissed employees’ rights. Inevitably, however, lack of disclosure casts a shadow just as surely as revelations of improper conduct. Sheriff Auten should be more forthcoming about this incident — or more fully explain the reason for reticence — and the sheriff’s association should stop its campaign to exempt itself from reasonable disclosure rules that apply to other taxpayer-funded branches of law-enforcement.

Our perspective changes with distance udgets are like relatives. If they live a long way away and belong to someone else, it’s easy to be critical. Distant relatives seen mostly at weddings and funerals have some connection, so care is often taken since criticism can bite back in the future. Close relatives are the fabric of daily lives and safety nets. Budgets act the same way. Washington is distant, so it’s easy to complain “The federal government wastes money. Cut the spending.” State budgets support schools, highways and health care, the stuff the public almost takes for granted daily, DAVID and local budgets touch us POST and our neighbors daily. Budget cuts have a different feel when they are a long way away. Cutting the federal budget is considered fiscally responsible, but when local governments fire teachers and police officers to cut their budgets, communities moan. The federal government doesn’t really spend money. Other than paying its employees, it’s really a gigantic transfer machine. Defense, Social Security and health care compose the large majority of federal spending. Much of defense spending is paying companies in the private sector to build and manufacture. Social Security transfers resources from the working generation to the retirement generation. Medicare and Medicaid transfer dollars mostly to private hospitals, doctors and pharmacies. The federal government also transfers dollars to state and local governments. For example, one-third of North Carolina’s budget comes from the federal government including about $9.5 billion, or over half, of the state health care budget, and another $2.5 billion, or 25 percent, of the state’s public school budget. Some in Washington argue that cutting federal spending will lead to economic growth in the private sector. If so, that should work at the local level as well, where dozens of teachers and other public employees are being fired. The idea is that a fired teacher who loses her $40,000 that she spends in the local economy will start a new business, earn more than the lost $40,000 (plus health care and retirement) and hire more people and provide them with health care and retirement. Thus, a win-win for both the teacher and the community, right? “I’m one of those new small businesses,”

“Uncle Billy” griped last week at his niece’s graduation. “I was an assistant in the physics department at State for 23 years,” he explained. “I was fired three years ago. Now physics classes have 250 or more students each. Some classes have kids sitting in several lecture halls watchingon a TV. Does anyone ever wonder why we produce so few math and science students? “I couldn’t find work and finally started a carpet cleaning business. I’m 59, earn less than half what I used to make, lost my health care and retirement. Somehow, the public thinks this is good. Government statistics count me as one of those new small businesses that will grow the economy. Go figure.” How many Uncle Billys are there? A bunch. According to the Census Bureau, there are 28 million businesses in the United States. But 22 million have no employees other than the owner, and that number went up by a few million last year. Lots of carpet to be cleaned. Current U.S. budget policy apparently prefers this Uncle Billy model, eliminating public sector jobs in favor of carpet cleaning. The language of taxes by federal and local governments is also different. Half of Congress has taken a “no tax increase” pledge, including what seems to be a sensible provision that says if spending goes up on one line item, it must come down on another. Because of that, the federal government is refusing to provide assistance to tornado-ravaged areas in Alabama and Missouri where hundreds of people were killed and billions of dollars of property was destroyed unless those costs are replaced by other budget cuts. Notice to the public: avoid disasters. We, the taxpayer, are not there to help. At the local level, the term is “revenue neutral.” That means that taxpayers pay the same amount of tax. If property values decline, tax rates go up. If applied at the federal level, that would mean a 25-30 percent tax rate increase. Ironically, the same public servants who support revenue neutrality at the local level would never support a tax increase at the federal level. Your tornado is terrible, but not our community’s problem. You see, distant relatives are different than close relatives. • • • David Post lives in Salisbury and is one of the owners of MedExpress Pharmacy and Salisbury Pharmacy.

Time to cut foreign aid, focus on domestic needs I wish for a good meeting with Congress and also with the N.C. General Assembly. I want answers to these important questions. Why are we still maintaining troops in Japan, Germany and Italy? These troops fought for our country in World War II. Our troops serving in foreign countries are costing the United States billions each year. We maintain troops in 109 different countries. We also supply the majority of troops for NATO. We are involved in wars in the Middle East and supporting Israel with billions of dollars of aid annually. We also pay for the building of settlements on occupied lands by the Israelis. We pay for the maintenance of Israel’s occupation of the Gaza Strip, which is literally a prison for 2 million Palestinian refugees (many of whom are murdered daily). If we were to enforce these as cost-cutting measures, we would not have to cut benefits for education, as proposed by many states. If we were to eliminate the cost of our nation-building efforts throughout the world, we could employ the returning troops in rebuilding our infrastructure and securing our borders. It’s time for Britain and France to fight their own foreign wars. We should demand Britain and France repay their WWI debt, since these have remained unpaid since 1918. Why does our government not realize our priorities of improving education and rebuilding our infrastructure? Congress is also aggressively thinking of eliminating many Social Security services. It’s time for the people of the United States to question what is happening in Congress and the N.C. assembly. We must bring our troops home, cut all foreign aid and con-

Thanks for your support I want to thank everyone that helped make my lunch benefit on Saturday such a success. I had many people helping, from selling tickets to baking, working the booth and serving. The food prepared by Wink’s BBQ was delicious, and we got many donations as well as sales. It will help make my recovery much easier when I don’t have quite so many medical expenses to worry about. It also helps to know there are a lot of people out there who care about me and what my family has been going through. This is a great community that cares about others, and I am grateful to be a part of it. Once again, I want to thank everyone, and I hope I got a chance to speak to everyone who wanted to meet me. We were pretty busy, but I was taking the tickets, so hopefully I did get to meet you. Love in Christ: — Sandra Craver Rockwell
avid Mamet, a novelist, screenwriter and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, has come out of the closet as a conservative, and in his milieu of Hollywood's unrelenting liberalism, this is so astonishing a development that both the Wall Street Journal and New York Times have interviewed him on the subject. My thanks go to both newspapers. To Mamet, I’d like to say it was amusing to read your JAY thoughts, not least when you talked in AMBROSE the Journal about liberals always finding something “bad, bad, bad” — trans-fats, maybe, or global warming or hydrogenated vegetable oil — and then making their nonnegotiable demand: “And something must be done!” They mean it must be done by the government, federal, state or local, though they think federal is preferable because it can have at all of us, and everybody there is oh, so much smarter and better than the rest of us — not least of all the bureaucrats who are always jamming up the traffic in Washington and something else in the nation. These regulation writers are jamming up normal lives with abnormal infringements, and they are getting so thorough at it that we may each eventually have a federal guardian following us, instructing us, fining us, sometimes arresting us if need be. Before that happens, we have the likes of Michelle Obama telling restaurants they must start serving smaller portions to us. Funny, but I always thought that matter was between customers and the restaurant, not some distant third party, and while I get it that the first lady is dreadfully conMAMET cerned about people like me getting obese, I am not. But if I want to eat like a horse occasionally, I want her to stay out of it. The truth is, I am a doggie-bag kind of guy. What does she want as her legacy — an end of doggie bags as a source of tomorrow’s lunch? Maybe, you say, this White House occupant is non-governmental, but, if she did not have the political heft of a husband who is president, you think the National Restaurant Association would have met with her advisers? I doubt that group would meet with my wife’s advisers, even if she had advisers, or that she could get the attention of some in Congress and more than one federal agency. Something else in the news of late — the misuse of Title IX to say that if college women do not want to enter sports in the same numbers as men students, that’s too bad for the men at those schools. It’s got to be equal. Some schools, in order to accommodate the more eager fellows, have lied about the number of women participating, and The New York Times, which broke the story, is in an editorial snit, saying this may be illegal. The truth is that the law was written to deny federal funding to schools that didn’t afford women desired opportunities in sports. Most schools had already begun doing this because the culture had changed, but the goal was not meant to be absolute equality in numbers until the bureaucrats began throwing their weight around. Interpreted their way — cut off heads to make everyone the same height — it’s a bad law that breeds disobedience, and while I do not intend to go on the record in favor of lying, I can promise you that I have talked to numbers of business operators who have told me there is a sure way to go broke. Heed all the stupid regulations. I’d like to cite more examples, but I would need something like 450,000 pages to be exhaustive, because, as Jeffrey Tucker of the Ludwig von Mises Institute has observed, that’s the probable size of the 2012 U.S. Code when published. Obviously, some of these laws are needed, but as Tucker notes, this is “as elaborate and detailed as any set of laws that have ever governed any society in the history of the world.” As Mamet said, liberals keep finding bad things, and as I would add, our lawmakers keep making them worse. • • • Jay Ambrose was formerly Washington director of editorial policy for Scripps Howard newspapers and the editor of dailies in El Paso, Texas, and Denver.

Cellphones and coffee: Both causes of cancer? LONDON (AP) — A respected international panel of scientists says cellphones are possible cancer-causing agents, putting them in the same category as the pesticide DDT, gasoline engine exhaust and coffee. The classification was issued Tuesday in Lyon, France, by the International Agency for Research on Cancer after a review of dozens of published studies. The agency is an arm of the World Health Organization and its assessment now goes to WHO and national health agencies for possible guidance on cellphone use. Classifying agents as “possibly carcinogenic” doesn’t mean they automatically cause cancer and some experts said the ruling shouldn’t change people’s cellphone habits. “Anything is a possible carcinogen,” said Donald Berry, a professor of biostatistics at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at the University of Texas. He was not involved in the WHO cancer group’s assessment. “This is not something I worry about and it will not in any way change how I use my cellphone,” he said — speaking from his cellphone. The same cancer research agency
lists alcoholic drinks as a known carcinogen and night shift work as a probable carcinogen. Anyone’s risk for cancer depends on many factors, from genetic makeup to the amount and length of time of an exposure. After a weeklong meeting on the type of electromagnetic radiation found in cellphones, microwaves and radar, the expert panel said there was limited evidence cellphone use was linked to two types of brain tumors and inadequate evidence to draw conclusions for other cancers. “We found some threads of evidence telling us how cancers might occur, but there were acknowledged gaps and uncertainties,” said Jonathan Samet of the University of Southern California, the panel’s chairman. “The WHO’s verdict means there is some evidence linking mobile phones to cancer but it is too weak to draw strong conclusions from,” said Ed Yong, head of health information at Cancer Research U.K. “If such a link exists, it is unlikely to be a large one.” Last year, results of a large study found no clear link between cellphones and cancer. But some advo-
cacy groups contend the study raised serious concerns because it showed a hint of a possible connection between very heavy phone use and glioma, a rare but often deadly form of brain tumor. However, the numbers in that subgroup weren’t sufficient to make the case. The study was controversial because it began with people who already had cancer and asked them to recall how often they used their cellphones more than a decade ago. In about 30 other studies done in Europe, New Zealand and the U.S., patients with brain tumors have not reported using their cellphones more often than unaffected people. Because cellphones are so popular, it may be impossible for experts to compare cellphone users who develop brain tumors with people who don’t use the devices. According to a survey last year, the number of cellphone subscribers worldwide has hit 5 billion, or nearly three-quarters of the global population. People’s cellphone habits have also changed dramatically since the first studies began years ago and it’s
unclear if the results of previous research would still apply today. Since many cancerous tumors take decades to develop, experts say it’s impossible to conclude cellphones have no long-term health risks. The studies conducted so far haven’t tracked people for longer than about a decade. Cellphones send signals to nearby towers via radio frequency waves, a form of energy similar to FM radio waves and microwaves. But the radiation produced by cellphones cannot directly damage DNA and is different from stronger types of radiation like X-rays or ultraviolet light. At very high levels, radio frequency waves from cellphones can heat up body tissue, but that is not believed to damage human cells. Some experts recommended people use a headset or earpiece if they are worried about the possible health dangers of cellphones. “If there is a risk, most of it goes away with a wireless earpiece,” said Otis Brawley, chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society. Brawley said people should focus on the real health hazards of cell-
NY rep fights back over underwear-pic kerfuffle WASHINGTON (AP) — New York Congressman Anthony Weiner testily fended off questions Tuesday about the lewd photo sent from his Twitter account and has hired a lawyer to help him figure out how to respond. Weiner spokesman Dave Arnold said the Democrat believes it was a prank but he’s retained a lawyer to advise him on what civil or criminal actions should be taken. The photo, which showed a man’s bulging underpants, was posted on Friday and sent to a female college student in Seattle. The colorful and sometimes combative congressman who represents parts of Brooklyn and Queens was characteristically sharp tongued, refusing to answer reporters’ questions about it, and even calling one a “jackass” for interrupting him. He insisted that he wanted to
move on from the incident, which was distracting from his work on Capitol Hill. Weiner failed in a 2005 bid for the Democratic nomination for mayor of New York City, but he is still is widely considered a future contender for the office. “I’m not going to talk about this anymore,” Weiner told reporters on Capitol Hill. “I think that if I was giving a speech to 45,000 people and someone stood up and heckled in the back, I wouldn’t spend three days talking to him. I’m going to get back to the conversation I care about.” Weiner declined to answer reporters’ questions about the photo or why he was hiring a lawyer for the case instead of having law enforcement officials pursue the matter. Weiner was a Twitter follower of the female college student who received the photo.
associated press
rep. anthony Weiner, d-N.Y., has hired a lawyer after a lewd photo was sent from his twitter account to a college student. The tweet of the lewd photo first was reported Saturday by BigGovernment.com, a website run by conservative commentator Andrew Breitbart. The site said the photo was tweeted to a female college student in Seattle. The woman told the New York Daily
News that she had never met Weiner, and that there had “never been any inappropriate exchanges” between her and the congressman. Weiner, 46, is married to Huma Abedin, an aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
phones. “Cellphones may cause brain tumors but they kill far more people through automobile accidents,” he said. Brawley added it was also reasonable to limit children’s use of cellphones since their brains are still developing. Earlier this year, a U.S. National Institutes of Health study found that cellphone use can speed up brain activity, but it is unknown whether that has any dangerous health effects. The cellphone industry trade group, CTIA-The Wireless Association, pointed to two U.S. agencies that have found no evidence cellphones are linked to cancer — the Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Communications Commission. The WHO’s cancer research agency has reviewed more than 900 occupational exposures, chemicals and other agents since 1971, classifying their link to cancer by labeling them from carcinogenic to probably not carcinogenic. The American Cancer Society has estimated that only about 6 percent of cancers are related to environmental causes and most of that is on-the-job occupational exposure.
House panel votes to cut farm subsidies WASHINGTON (AP) — A House committee voted Tuesday to cut farm subsidies to pay for deficit reduction and other budget priorities, chipping away at the billions of dollars a year that are directed to farmers. The votes in the House Appropriations Committee may be a preview of what is expected to be a tough year for agriculture programs. Congressional lawmakers have increasingly looked to billions of dollars in farm subsidies as a source of money for other priorities as crop prices have reached record levels. In a surprise move, the committee approved an amendment by Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., to lower the maximum adjusted gross income a farmer can have to
earn certain subsidies. While many farmers can now make as much as $750,000 annually and still receive subsidies, Flake’s amendment would lower the threshold for some to $250,000. The committee also approved an amendment by Flake to use domestic farm subsidies to pay for $147 million in annual payments to Brazil’s cotton sector to settle a World Trade Organization dispute. The committee later eliminated those payments to Brazil entirely, shifting the money to domestic feeding programs. Both of Flake’s amendments would dip into direct payments to farmers, which are a type of subsidy paid regardless of crop price or yield.

Bosnian Serb wartime commander Mladic extradited THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Former Bosnian Serb military commander Ratko Mladic was placed in a U.N. detention unit Tuesday to await trial on genocide charges, 16 years after he was indicted in the killing of 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the worst massacre of civilians in Europe since World War II. War crimes tribunal spokeswoman Nerma Jelacic said tribunal staff were handing Mladic his indictment and explaining the rules and procedures to him before placing him in an isolation cell for the night. She said isolation is standard for new arrivals at the prison. Mladic also was being given a list of defense lawyers who could help him through the initial proceedings of the war crimes court. He would be examined by a doctor and receive any treatment he may need before the end of the day, Jelacic said. It was unclear when Mladic will appear in court for an initial appearance, but it must be within a few days. The chief prosecutor and top tribunal official scheduled a news conference for noon today. When he appears in court Mladic will be asked to formally confirm his identity and enter a plea to each of the charges against him. He also will be asked whether he has any complaints about the arrangements in the prison.
Boy in video recalls chilling encounter with Mladic PROHICI, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — The video horrified the world: a grinning Ratko Mladic patting a young Muslim boy on the head and assuring him everyone in the Srebrenica area would be safe — just hours before overseeing the murder of 8,000 men and boys. The boy in the video is now a 24-year-old man. He clearly recalls the sunny day in July 1995 when he met the Bosnian Serb military commander who gave him chocolate. “I was 8 and I didn’t know what was going on or who Ratko Mladic was,” Izudin Alic told the Associated Press in an exclusive interview Tuesday. Mladic, 69, was captured last week by Serbian intelligence agents after 16 years on the run, and the U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague plans to try him on charges of genocide. Mladic was flown Tuesday to the Netherlands after judges rejected his appeal to block an extradition order. In 1995, Alic was among thousands of Bosnian Muslims who fled to the Srebrenica area seeking protection from U.N. troops. That July evening, he joined other kids flocking to a field where they heard an important soldier was handing out chocolate.
Supreme Court rules US Muslim can’t sue Ashcroft WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Tuesday threw out damage claims against former Attorney General John Ashcroft over an American Muslim’s arrest, but four justices said the case raises serious questions about post-9/11 detentions under a federal law intended to make sure witnesses testify. The justices were unanimous, 8-0, in holding that Ashcroft cannot be personally sued over his role in the arrest of Abdullah al-Kidd in 2003. The court sets a high bar for suing high-ranking officials, and all the justices agreed al-Kidd did not meet it, even though he was never charged with a crime or called to testify in the terrorism-related trial for which he ostensibly was needed. Al-Kidd contended that his arrest under the material witness statute had a more sinister motive that violated his constitutional rights — federal authorities suspected him of ties to terrorism but lacked evidence that he committed or was planning a crime. And, he said, Ashcroft blessed the use of the law in the days after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to take suspected terrorists off the street. A five-justice majority absolved Ashcroft of any

The five justices in the majority on this aspect of the decision are all Republican appointees. But one of those justices, Anthony Kennedy, wrote separately to stress the narrowness of the decision. Kennedy said the case left unresolved how broadly the government may use the material witness statute, which has existed in one form or another since 1789.
House to reject debt limit increase WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans lined up to reject their own proposed $2.4 trillion increase in the nation’s debt limit Tuesday, a political gambit designed to reinforce a demand for spending cuts to accompany any increase in government borrowing. “The blank check debt limit increase supported by President Obama and his fellow Democrats would send our great country into an economic death spiral,” said Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, in a statement released before the beginning of debate on the House floor. But Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, the second-ranking Democrat, said Republicans were playing politics with the nation’s creditworthiness. “If we were adults and acting as adults, we would come together and give certainty to the markets that, ‘Of course, America’s going to pay its bills,’” he said. The House legislation would allow government borrowing to reach $15.8 trillion, but it does not include any steps that GOP leaders — who arranged the vote — have demanded to restrain future spending.
Afghan president won’t allow NATO airstrikes on houses KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Angered by civilian casualties, Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Tuesday he will no longer allow NATO airstrikes on houses, issuing his strongest statement yet against attacks that the military alliance says are vital to its war on Taliban insurgents. NATO countered that airstrikes on houses are essential and will continue, setting up a possible confrontation with Karzai. The president’s remarks followed a recent strike that mistakenly killed a group of children and women in southern Helmand province. Karzai declared it would be the last. “From this moment, airstrikes on the houses of people are not allowed,” Karzai told reporters in Kabul. Ordering airstrikes is a command decision in Afghanistan. A NATO spokeswoman there, Maj. Sunset Belinsky, insisted they would continue.
GOP is more frenzied, less settled, than ever WASHINGTON (AP) — Sarah Palin draws crowds with her hide-and-seek bus tour. Michele Bachmann says
Palin’s plans won’t dissuade her from her likely presidential bid. Iowa GOP activists travel to New Jersey to implore Gov. Chris Christie to run, and Texas Gov. Rick Perry weighs a campaign. The Republican presidential field is far less settled than it seemed just a week ago, and it shows few signs of jelling soon. With campaigning off to a slow start in early-voting states, half a dozen potential candidates are mulling whether to jump in. So keen is the interest, among journalists at least, that two news helicopters tracked Palin’s East Coast bus trip to Philadelphia on Tuesday. The stepped-up interest follows decisions by three prominent Republicans — Haley Barbour, Mike Huckabee and Mitch Daniels — to forgo a campaign, making the field less crowded than some had expected. Meanwhile, GOP activists don’t appear ready to start narrowing their choices just yet. They seem unconcerned that an important Iowa straw poll is 74 days away and President Barack Obama’s reelection team is setting up shop in dozens of states.
Edwards, prosecutors argue if money was contribution or gift WASHINGTON (AP) — Former presidential candidate John Edwards and federal prosecutors are arguing over whether funds used to cover up his extramarital affair were campaign contributions or just gifts from his longtime friends. An indictment of the 2004 Democratic vice presidential nominee appeared near, but some people on both sides were still hoping Tuesday for a last-minute deal for Edwards to plead guilty to a negotiated charge. So far Edwards has refused to admit to felony charges that would likely cost him his law license, according to people with knowledge of the negotiations who spoke on a condition of anonymity because they are supposed to be private. Edwards has said he hopes that once this case is behind him he can revive his legal career, specializing in helping the victims of poverty he championed on the campaign trail. But the approach of a federal indictment could heighten his desire to stave off a trial that would give wide exposure to sordid details of his affair, the daughter he initially disavowed as his, the vast sums of money that flowed to keep the affair secret and other unflattering tales from inside his campaign. Public airing of those accounts could further damage a reputation he hopes to revive and could bring more pain to his children, who have already endured public scrutiny of their father’s infidelity and their mother’s recent death. The prosecutors have decided after a two-year investigation that the hundreds of thousands of dollars that two Edwards donors gave to help keep his mistress in hiding were contributions that should have been reported publicly by his campaign fund because they aided his bid for the 2008 presidential nomination. But Edwards’ lawyers have argued the funds were gifts intended to keep the affair a secret from his wife, Elizabeth, who died
of cancer in December.
Republicans question rules to make school lunches healthier WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans are pushing back against Obama administration efforts to promote healthier lunches, saying the Agriculture Department should rewrite rules it issued in January that would make school meals healthier. Republicans say the rules are too costly. The legislation is expected to be approved by the House Appropriations Committee Tuesday. The bill also questions a government proposal to curb marketing of unhealthy foods to children and urges the Food and Drug Administration to limit rules requiring calorie counts be posted on menus. The overall spending bill would cut billions from USDA and FDA budgets, including for domestic feeding programs and international food aid. Crawford, a Chris spokesman for Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Jack Kingston, a Georgia Republican, said that Republicans are concerned with the cost of many of the Obama administration proposals and that the proposals may be overregulation.
Crews rush to raise levees to protect South Dakota cities PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — Crews raced approaching
floodwaters Tuesday to complete emergency levees aimed at protecting South Dakota’s capital city and two other towns as the swollen Missouri River rolled downstream from the Northern Plains. Meanwhile, the mayor of Minot, N.D., ordered a quarter of the city’s residents to evacuate areas along the flooding Souris River. Residents of the upscale community of Dakota Dunes in southeastern South Dakota, below the final dam on the river, have been told to move their possessions to higher ground and be ready to leave their homes by Thursday, a day before releases from the dams are set to increase again. Several thousand people in Pierre, the state capital, and neighboring Fort Pierre on the west bank have been working day and night since late last week to lay sandbags around their homes and move to safety. Those forced to leave their homes may not be able to return for two months or more. No evacuation orders had been issued Tuesday in South Dakota, but many people in the three cities had already moved to safer places. “We’re going to fight this flood with every fiber of our beings, and we’ll do everything we can to minimize its effects,” Gov. Dennis Daugaard said.
Humane Society: 2 stowaway kittens make long trek DETROIT (AP) — The Michigan Humane Society says two stowaway kittens made a more than 1,000-mile trip from Louisiana in the bed of a truck carrying flammable chemicals. The Detroit News and TV stations WXYZ and WDIV report that the kittens were found earlier this week in Michigan and picked up by a Humane Society rescue team. They were taken to the Detroit Center for Animal Care, where they were given a clean bill of health. The kittens that made the four-day trip are now being called “Bonnie” and “Clyde,” and they’re expected to be put up for adoption as a pair.
South Korean marines and some army units have been using pictures of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il and his son and father as targets in the wake of the North’s deadly shelling of a South Korean border island in November. The Defense Ministry said today that those units decided to use the pictures as target practice on their own. The Defense Ministry will now tell them to use only standard targets. On Monday, North Korea strongly protested against South Korean firing drills in the border area and threatened to attack. North Korea didn’t mention the photo targets.
Iranian wanted by Argentina visits Bolivia LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) — Iran’s defense minister, whose extradition is sought by neighboring Argentina for the 1994 bombing of a Jewish center, briefly visited Bolivia on Tuesday, raising tensions between the countries. Gen. Ahmad Vahidi is wanted by Buenos Aires as an alleged mastermind of the bombing, which killed 85 people. Interpol issued a red notice for Vahidi in 2007, notifying members that Argentina was seeking his arrest. Bolivia’s defense ministry said in a brief statement that Vahidi arrived Tuesday to help inaugurate a defense academy for members of the leftist ALBA alliance, which includes Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua. Some ALBA countries have close ties with Iran. Guillermo Borger, president of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, called on Argentina’s government to file a formal protest with Bolivia. Later Tuesday, Bolivian Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca wrote a letter to Argentine Foreign Minister Hector Timerman saying that Vahidi had left the country at the request of the Bolivian government, which had invited him. “I want to express in the name of the Government of Bolivia my deepest apologies,” the letter said.

Rowan Legion opens tonight BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — The high school baseball season ended earlier than East Rowan and North Rowan anticipated, but those prep setbacks could benefit the Rowan County American Legion team. Most summers, Rowan digs an early hole in the regular season Southern Division of Area III race, just trying to tread water until it has its full roster. That won’t be the case this time.
Coach Jim Gantt has 23 players eager to finally get started. Nine will take the field at Newman Park tonight at 7 p.m. against the Mooresville Legends. “Not only do we have everybody for our first game, which is unusual, we’ve actually had a chance to practice together before the season starts,” Gantt said. “Not that these guys haven’t been practicing all year, but it’s nice to have a few days just to make sure everyone’s on the same page.” Rowan has 13 pitchers on the

roster, including three collegians. The 10 prep hurlers had varying degrees of success, but all won at least one game.
“It’s not like we’ve got Roger Clemens and Randy Johnson, but we’ve got a lot of adequate arms and our depth of pitching is a strength,” said Gantt, who enters his 11th year as head coach. “Depth is so important, with pitchers making that change from seven-inning high school games to nine-inning Legion games.” The projected starting rotation includes Bradley Robbins (10-1 at East Rowan), UNC Pembroke’s Thomas Allen (4-0 for the Legion team in 2010), Brevard lefty Zack

Simpson (3-4 for Rowan in 2010), Ethan Free (6-4 at Carson) and UNC Greensboro’s Caleb Henley. It’s unusual for a Carson youngster to play for Rowan, but Free could be an important addition. He’s won 11 games the past two seasons for the Cougars. Henley is the sleeper. A latebloomer who never played varsity ball at East Rowan, he made the Division I UNC Greensboro team in walk-on tryouts. He redshirted

West Rowan punter joins the ‘big names’ in college BY RONNIE GALLAGHER rgallagher@salisburypost.com
MOUNT ULLA — West Rowan has become such a football powerhouse that 10 of last season’s Falcons will get opportunities to play in college. Even the ones who aren’t household names. Senior punter Kelly Miller joined the list of future college Falcons when Division III Methodist gave him a chance. You must understand that the West Rowan punter is usually a noname. You don’t win three straight state titles and 46 straight games by calling on the punter very often. Miller even admitted as much. MILLER “I wouldn’t have to punt until the second quarter because we always got touchdowns on the first drive,” he said. Miller was thinking of going into the Air Force due to his grandparents’ advice. Then, his guidance counselor got involved. “She encouraged me to go to college,” he said. Then, head football coach Scott Young got involved. “I talked to Coach Young and five minutes later, he called me back to his office,” Miller said. “He gave me the message that Methodist had called me.” Young seemed as thrilled that Miller is continuing his career as he was when Domonique Noble YOUNG picked Georgia Tech. “I’m really happy for Kelly,” beamed Young. “He’s dedicated. He put in a lot of work.” The Monarchs were 2-8 (1-6 in the USA South) last season but lost games by 6, 3, 4 and 3 points, including one in three overtimes. Who knows what field position might have done to turn losses into wins. jon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST

KU’s Torbush has prostate cancer
This is a warning to other coaches BY RALPH D. RUSSO Associated Press
In a profession that provides little in the way of job security, Jim Tressel was about as comfortable as a college football coach could get. The man in the sweater vest won 83 percent of his games in 10 seasons with Ohio State. He went 9-1 against Michigan, won seven Big Ten titles and a national championship. But when he committed the cardinal sin of college sports, covering up an NCAA violation in his program, none of his success on the field could save him. While NCAA President Mark Emmert has talked tough in recent months about cracking down on
rule-breakers with penalties severe enough to deter future wrongdoers, maybe Tressel’s departure from Ohio State will help send that message. “It’s a tough situation for Jim and his family, but also I think if we’re going to find anything good in this it can be a wake-up call for (other coaches),” said former Baylor coach Grant Teaff, the president of the American Football Coaches Association. “There are a myriad of rules. There’s no excuse for any of us missing those rules. It’s not an easy task, but it never has been. It’s always been a challenge but probably rightly so, because it’s an important job.” Tressel was, of course, a trending topic at the South-
MIAMI — Dwyane Wade’s night began with a hug for his mom. It 92 ended with an embrace from Heat 84 LeBron James. Mavs And the Miami Heat have struck first in the NBA finals. James scored 24 points for his first win in five finals-game appearances, Wade added 22 points and 10 rebounds and the Heat beat the Dallas Mavericks 92-84 in Game 1 of the title series on Tuesday night. The Heat trailed by eight points early in the third quarter before pulling away, remaining unbeaten at home in these playoffs and snapping Dallas’ five-game road winning streak. Chris Bosh scored 19 points — holding up three fingers when it was over, a clear nod to the three wins Miami needs for a title — and Mario Chalmers added 12 for the Heat, who host Game 2 on Thursday night. “I just was aggressive,” Wade said. “We understand that this is the kind of game we wanted to play. We had them where we wanted them in the sense of points. You know they wasn’t scoring a lot on us and offensively we just executed and guys made plays.” Wade’s 3-pointer with 3:06 left put the Heat up 82-73, then the largest lead of the game for either team. The Mavs shaved two points off it on the next possession when Dirk Nowitzki hit two free throws, but James gave the Heat their first double-digit lead of the finals a few seconds later. He dribbled upcourt against Shawn Marion, crossed his dribble over and got clear for a dunk while being fouled. The free throw made it 85-75, and most in the sellout, whiteclad crowd began standing in anticipation. Even then, it wasn’t over. Nowitzki made two more free throws — he was 12 for 12 from the line for the game — with 1:36 left, cutting the Miami lead to six. A momentary blip. Wade grabbed a key defensive rebound, dribbled away from three Dallas pursuers and found Bosh for a dunk with 1:08 left that restored the 10-point lead. Another dunk by James came with 38.6 seconds left, sealing the outcome.

Ohio State’s former coach Jim Tressel has taken a hard fall eastern Conference meetings in Destin, Fla., on Tuesday, with reporters looking for reaction from his fellow coaches. When a guy like Tressel goes down, other coaches pay particular attention. “I know all this stuff that’s happening at Ohio State, every other coach out there, if ever presented that
situation, I am sure they will think about how to handle it,” Tennessee coach Derek Dooley said. Or as Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino said: “There’s no question there’s lessons to be learned.” The main lesson being: Don’t think for a second you

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Carl Torbush, defensive coordinator at Kansas and former head coach at Louisiana Tech and North Carolina, is retiring after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. The school said Tuesday that Torbush, who also served as KU’s linebackers coach, will be having surgery soon and expects a full recovery. Torbush was one of the first assistants Turner Gill hired after he was hired as head coach following the the 2009 season. Torbush has also been defensive coordinator at North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas A&M. “As far as where I’m at,
it’s a tough time,” he said at a news conference on Tuesday. “I’m 59 1⁄2 years old. Seems like yesterday, you blink an eye and you’re 21, all of a sudden you’re 591⁄2 and wondering where it all went. “I will say that I’m still playing baseball, so I’m pretty fortunate in that. I had a situation health-wise that got checked, and it is a lowgrade prostate cancer that me and my family are going to have to deal with. I just felt like I wanted to get this cleared up. I don’t know how long it’s going to take to get it cleared up, but I’ve got a strong faith and I have no doubt that it’s going to work out the way it’s supposed to work out.”

there was a coach who could have absorbed a 7-5 season, it was Tressel. “There’s definitely pressure to win,” Petrino said, “but the relationship you build with your athletic director and your compliance and your chancellor is we’re all in it to win, we’re all in it to live by the rules and we all know that when one violation happens or two violations, I can walk into our athletic director’s office and our director of compliance and say, ‘Hey, look, we made a mistake here.’ And you self-report it and you live by what happens with that.” It was Petrino’s Arkansas team that Ohio State played in the Sugar Bowl, where Tressel was allowed to use five key players, including star quarterback Terrelle Pryor, who were suspended for the first five games of the 2012 season for receiving improper benefits. Ohio State beat the Razorbacks 31-26. Petrino said he wanted to play Ohio State at its best, but added: “There’s no ques-
tion that I don’t understand how they were eligible to play in the game. I just don’t and I never will.” But that doesn’t mean he was happy to see the scandal come back to bite Tressel. “I can’t say that I was surprised, but I feel for him. When something like that happens, you never like to see it,” he said. “I feel for him, his family. It affects a lot of other people within the state, the university, so feel for all of those people.” Alabama coach Nick Saban said he and Tressel came up through the coaching ranks together. “I feel like I guess if you were in the military you would say, ‘We lost a fine comrade in this whole thing,’” Saban said. “I don’t know the details of all the circumstances and situation there and certainly don’t want to comment on that. But certainly there were mistakes made and whatever and there are going to be consequences for it. I still think this is one of the finest people in our profession.”
all right from that. He’s a guy that’s not just a coaching friend, he’s a guy that I’ve gotten to know over many years.” Torbush said Kansas is in good hands. “First of all, the opportunity to be at the University of Kansas has been a great thrill for me and I don’t have any doubt that this program is in great hands with coach Turner Gill,” he said. “Just like I’ve said over a period of time, that is the reason that I came to KU originally, and I still firmly believe that after I’ve been
here a year.” Gill said assistant coach Vic Shealy would be the new defensive coordinator and Buddy Wyatt would be co-defensive coordinator. “Those two will work together. Carl was definitely a top guy when I tried to put together a staff. He is a guy who has been a great friend of mine, a great mentor and a spiritual person for me. He’s been a great person for college football and great for the University of Kansas.”
“All my punts were on point and I had high spirals,” Miller said of the Hibriten victory. That also got some colleges’ attention. “That was a big game for him to kick well in,” Young said. “It paid off.” The sturdy, 6-foot-1 Miller eventually finished with an average of 33.7. He laughs at how he became Young’s punter. He was a defensive lineman when he first started playing at West. “They called me ‘Glass’ because I got hurt so much,” he said. “They didn’t have a punter so I became one.” Little did he know when he was kicking in the backyard or in YFL as a kid that his foot would produce a chance to go
to college like all of those other well-known Falcons. “I was proud to be a part of it because I changed field position a lot,” he said of the 46game win streak. And he is just as confident heading off to college as Noble. “(Methodist) said their punter was a cheerleader,” Miller said. “They said he was like 5-6, 170. I don’t know if I’ll start or not, but I’m twice his size. So hopefully, I’ll go there and dominate.” He’s the third Rowan County player who will suit up for head coach Dave Eavenson next season, joining Carson quarterback Zack Gragg and Salisbury tight end Riley Gallagher. “It’s like a dream come true,” Miller said.

MILLER FROM 1B With kickers, there are plenty of ups and downs. Miller remembers the playoff win against Northwest Cabarrus when he had three punts blocked. But when the pressure was on, Miller was at his best. Miller and Young pointed to one of the West’s toughest wins, a 20-14 nail-biter against Hibriten in the Western 3A final. Miller had five punts that night but angled those kicks just right and put Hibriten in poor field position. It helped propel West into the state title game where it ripped Eastern Alamance.

Fredette works out with Pacers
Djokovic’s streak on line against Federer Associated Press
Can a 6-foot-2 shooter keep up with the pros of the NBA? “I think the biggest thing will just be getting used to the athleticism and speed of the game,” Fredette said. “A lot of rookies hit the wall because they’re not used to playing that many games. So my job is to try to get in the best condition I can be and try to play at the speed for 82 games.” Fredette was just one of six potential draft picks working out for the Pacers. Among the others were Marcus Morris of Kansas, Tobias Harris of Tennessee, Nolan Smith of Duke and Vernon Macklin of Florida. Smith matched up with his friend during the workout. He said Fredette is obviously a good shooter, but can do damage off the dribble, too. “You’re worried about his shot, but he keeps you on your toes because he can keep it on the ground just as well,” Smith said.

INDIANAPOLIS — Former BYU star Jimmer Fredette has his first NBA workout under his belt and he admits he was a little winded. Fredette worked out for Indiana Pacers president Larry Bird and other team officials on Tuesday. He at times was out of breath and was pushed by coaches to go harder. But he wasn’t complaining. “This was my first workout so it was a little tiring,” Fredette said. “We went really hard for about an hour and 15 minutes straight through. That’s what happens; you get tired when you do a workout like that.” Fredette led the Cougars to the 2011 NCAA tournament and started all 37 games of the season, averaging 28.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. All the while, his athleticism continues to be in question at the professional level.

Jimmer Fredette takes a break during a Pacers’ workout. Fredette, who has workouts planned with the Knicks, Sacramento, Utah and Phoenix, said he was happy with his work in Indianapolis. The day included a medical exam and a personality test along with the scrimmaging and shooting drills. “I thought I did pretty well,” Fredette said. “I thought I tested well athleti-
cally. We had to take a big personality test — hopefully they like my personality.” Fredette is familiar with the Pacers squad and says they play the style of basketball he likes. “They have some very good, talented players,” Fredette said. “They’re a good, young team and I think I’d fit in well.”

Vancouver Canucks' Henrik Sedin talks to the media.
Sedin twins’ path to Cup blocked by Bruins Associated Press
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Daniel Sedin absently scratched his red playoff beard, thinking back on a decade of struggle and setbacks before the Vancouver Canucks reached the Stanley Cup finals against Boston. Down the hallway, his identical twin rubbed his identical beard exactly the same way. Henrik Sedin was considering a more pressing problem, though: Now that the Swedish superstars are finally close enough to touch the Stanley Cup, how do they get it away from hulking defenseman Zdeno Chara and the bruising Bruins? “We’ve had a lot of challenges along the way to get here, but he’s the biggest one yet — literally, I guess,” said Henrik Sedin, last season’s NHL MVP. “It’s going to be exciting to see what happens, because we haven’t played each other enough to know those guys very well. It’s unpredictable.” The only sure bet is that one championship drought will end for one long-suffering hockey-loving city after the Canucks face Boston in the Stanley Cup finals, starting in Game 1 tonight in Vancouver. The Canucks have never won it all, falling in their only two previous finals appearances in four decades of existence. Their ever-anxious city is buzzing with anticipation, with hundreds of fans filling the sidewalks and bars of Granville Street
in blue-and-green jerseys in the days before the finals. They’re breathlessly following the Sedin twins, who finally turned their talent into team success during a spectacular season in Vancouver. With impressive depth and solid defense backing their star-studded top lines, the Canucks won the Presidents’ Trophy with 54 victories and 117 points before winning nine of their past 12 playoff games heading into the finals. The Canucks might be the best team ever assembled on Canada’s West Coast, yet they realize they haven’t done anything until they raise the Cup. “With the parity that is in the league, you’ve got to do a lot of things right for a long time,” Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said. “I do believe you’ve got to get some bounces, you get the bounces because you’ve been doing things right for a long time. I believe that Vancouver is due for 40 years of good bounces.” The Bruins have lost five straight trips to the finals since Bobby Orr led them to their last title in 1972, and haven’t made it at all since 1990. Yet with only moderate expectations and a largely star-free roster featuring no scorers in the NHL’s top 25, Boston survived a rough Eastern Conference run during which it faced elimination twice in the past three rounds. The Bruins coolly won two Game 7 showdowns, both on clutch goals by Nathan Horton.
ROWAN LEGION FROM 1B this season. “He’s still got to show he can do it in a game, but he looks great in a uniform,” Gantt said. “He’s a 6foot-5 lefty and throws 88 to 91.” Poised lefty Will Johnson returns to anchor the bullpen. Johnson was 6-1 for Rowan last summer and saved seven games for East as a senior. Others in the pitching mix are North’s Matt Laurens, Dakota Brown, Dusty Agner and Mason Jennings and East’s Alex Bost, Avery Rogers and Jared Mathis. The catchers are East veterans Luke Thomas and Nathan Fulbright. Thomas has power and
The NFL notebook ... CHARLOTTE — Perhaps no team is in need of offseason practices more than the NFL-worst Carolina Panthers. After falling behind their division rivals, the Panthers finally gathered Tuesday for their first player-organized workout since the lockout began. They also did their best to make sure no one saw rookie Cam Newton and company. Players hired a police officer to shoo away reporters from the high school where they were working out on the hot, humid morning. Cones blocked another entrance to the field at Charlotte Christian. Guard Geoff Schwartz indicated on Twitter that more than 50 players attended. “Great morning of team activities,” he wrote. Tackle Jordan Gross, who organized the two weeks of practices with left guard Travelle Wharton, said reporters wouldn’t be allowed in until the last day June 9. “We’re just trying to prepare to win some football games,” Gross said outside the private school. A few dozen high-priced vehicles were seen in the parking lot, but the field was out of view from the road. So there was no way of seeing Newton, the No. 1 overall pick, fellow quarterback Jimmy Clausen or to get updates on players coming back from injury. The Panthers were the last team in the NFC South to gather in this odd offseason. “It’s been so long,” running back Jonathan Stewart wrote on Twitter. “Time to get better!” That’s for sure. After going 2-14 last season with the league’s worst offense, the Panthers replaced coach John Fox with San Diego defensive coordinator Ron Rivera. But the labor dispute has prevented Rivera from gathering his team. Then the Panthers drafted Newton. The Heisman Trophy winner from Auburn could replace Clausen, who went 1-9 as a starter with the NFL’s
knocked in 32 runs for Rowan last summer. Fulbright belted five homers this season in high school. North’s Alex Morgan, a potent bat in search of a position, is another possibility for catching duties. Andy Austin hit .295 for the Legion team last summer and was over .400 at East this year. He’s a slick glove man with height and is a future D-I player. A lefty swinger, he has a lot of power to left-center and will be the regular first baseman. East’s Justin Morris (.328, 44 runs for Rowan in 2010) figures to start at shortstop, with the slickfielding Rogers (.342, 21 RBIs for East) handling third base. The candidates at second base are the versatile Brown (.447 as North’s shortstop), Ashton Fleming (.350 at East) and West Rowan’s

OBIT STAMFORD, Conn. — Football Hall of Famer Andy Robustelli, who played for the New York Giants and Los Angeles Rams during a 14-year NFL career, has died. He was 85. "He was one of the greatest players in franchise history, and one of the finest, most dignified gentlemen you could ever meet," Giants President John Mara said. "Andy was a man's man in every respect." HAYNESWORTH UPDATE FAIRFAX, Va. — A judge on Tuesday dismissed a misdemeanor assault charge against Washington Redskins defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth after the player reached an agreement with the man who said he was the victim of a roadrage attack. LOCKER PRESENT NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Jake Locker has joined his new teammates for the first time for unofficial workouts in Nashville. The Tennessean reported that the Titans' first-round draft pick joined 14 teammates at Nashville's Father Ryan High School for conditioning drills on Tuesday morning. He says he plans on working out with teammates for the next two weeks. ROOKIE The NFL Players Association will stage a two-day educational program for rookies at the end of June and cover all costs. One week after the league canceled its annual rookie symposium because of the owners' lockout of the players, the NFLPA has set up what it calls "The Business of Football, Rookie Edition" for Washington on June 28-29. Every drafted rookie — all 254 of them — is invited. "We're doing this because it's the right thing to do," NFLPA spokesman George Atallah said.

PARIS — Quickly and rather quietly, Roger Federer is back in the French Open semifinals. There will be absolutely nothing low-key — or, it seems safe to say, easy — about what comes next for the 16-time Grand Slam champion: a showdown against Novak Djokovic, who is 41-0 this year and unbeaten in his last 43 matches overall. With attention focused elsewhere, perhaps in part because some assume his best days are behind him, the no-fuss, no-muss Federer simply has won all 15 sets he's played so far, capped Tuesday by a 6-4, 63, 7-6 (3) quarterfinal victory over No. 9-seeded Gael Monfils of France. Their semifinal is sure to be the talk of the tennis world until it's played Friday. For Djokovic, a victory over Federer would guarantee a rise to No. 1 in the rankings for the first time. It also would make the second-seeded Serb 42-0 in 2011, tying John McEnroe in 1984 for the best start to a season in the Open era, which began in 1968. For Federer, a victory would put him into his first Grand Slam final in more than 16 months, his longest drought since he won his first major title at Wimbledon in 2003. It would allow Federer to make clear to everyone that he's still at the top of the game as his 30th birthday approaches in August. Plus, it would serve as something of a rebuke to Djokovic, who beat Federer in the semifinals at the U.S. Open in September and Australian Open in January. "There's less at stake for me than for him," said Federer, who is 13-9 against Djokovic over their careers but 0-3 this year.
BOBCATS NIXED CHARLOTTE — With the NBA looking at a potential lockout that would wipe out July's summer leagues, the Charlotte Bobcats thought they found a way to still get a look at young players and free agents. The league had other ideas. Coach Paul Silas said Tuesday night the NBA turned down Charlotte's plans to host a multi-team, free-agent camp after this month's draft and before the collective bargaining agreement expires July 1. The Miami Heat, Memphis Grizzlies and Atlanta Hawks were scheduled to bring free agents and possibly draft picks to Time Warner Cable Arena. The teams had even reserved hotel rooms for the series of workouts and scrimmages on two courts at the facility before plans changed. "The league wouldn't let us do it," Silas said.
MORE NBA MINNEAPOLIS — While Ricky Rubio mulls coming to the NBA next season, a deadline of sorts came and went on Tuesday without any word on whether the Spanish point guard will be joining the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2010-11. Under the current collective bargaining agreement, it was the last day Rubio could sign a contract with the Timberwolves and
gan and Salisbury’s Nolan Meyerhoeffer are the other outfield candidates. Austin could play out there some, with Thomas “resting” at first base and Fulbright catching. “Our pitching should be pretty good and our defense should be solid,” Gantt said. “How good we are on offense remains to be seen, but we do have good team speed.” Rowan was 30-13 in 2010, losing to eventual state-champ Kernersville in the Area III finals. Most seasons Rowan would have qualified for the state tournament, but only one Area III team went to the event last summer because Randolph County had an automatic berth locked up as the host team. As always, Rowan should be in the hunt to reach the state event,
ensure that his deal will fall under the existing rookie wage scale.
LACROSSE BALTIMORE — Colin Briggs scored five goals and seventh-seeded Virginia edged Maryland 9-7 in the NCAA men's lacrosse championship. Briggs, who did not play in the semifinals after being suspended due to a violation of team rules, scored three times on uncontested shots and twice beat defenders 1-on-1, earning the most outstanding player award. Matt White scored three times and Nick O'Reilly had a goal and four assists for the Cavaliers. Grant Catalino had two goals and an assist for unseeded Maryland. Goalie Niko Amato made eight saves.
INDY UPDATE INDIANAPOLIS — JR Hildebrand lost $1.5 million in the last mile of the Indianapolis 500. He was leading the race heading into the final turn on the final lap when he went high to pass a slower car and slammed into the safety wall, allowing Dan Wheldon to win the 100year anniversary race. Wheldon received $2,567,255 for the victory while Hildebrand earned $1,064,895 for his secondplace finish. The total purse was $13,509,485.
COLLEGE HOOPS STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Penn State athletic director Tim Curley says he hopes to get a new men's basketball coach "very soon." • BOILING SPRINGS — Point guard Jarvis Davis is transferring from Central Florida to Gardner-Webb. The 6-foot-1, Columbia, S.C., native played little at UCF, averaging 1.4 points and six minutes in 16 games as a freshman last season. After sitting out next season, Davis will have three years of eligibility with the Runnin' Bulldogs.
BRAVES ATLANTA — Slumping Braves second baseman Dan Uggla was given an unexpected day off. Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez made the announcement Tuesday before Atlanta played the San Diego Padres. Uggla and Gonzalez had a conversation before the game. "Anytime I'm out of the lineup," Uggla said, "it's not my idea." Uggla, who signed a fiveyear, $62 million contract after the Braves acquired him in a November trade with Florida, has just four hits in his last 47 at-bats — dropping his season batting average to .178.
BANNED FOR LIFE LONDON — Austria's Daniel Koellerer became the first tennis player Tuesday to be banned for life for attempting to fix matches. Koellerer, a former Davis Cup player who once reached No. 55 in the world rankings, was found guilty of three violations of the sport's anti-corruption rules, including "contriving or attempting to contrive the outcome of an event." The violations occurred between October 2009 and July 2010.
although the run production Zach Smith, Noah Holmes, Preston Troutman and Hayden Untz provided last summer will be missed. Gantt currently has 23 on the roster. Rowan will have to cut down to 18 by June 23. The playoffs will be a lot different this season, with a double-elimination tournament determining the Area III state representatives, rather than the long string of series, with alternating home games, to which fans are accustomed. Gantt isn’t thrilled about it. “Our regular season is legit, but the new playoff format is ridiculous,” he said. “Some teams won’t have even one home game. And since they’re splitting the gate on playoff games, someone’s going to pay $600 for a bus, take a ride somewhere and get $20 back.”

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Evan Longoria hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth inning and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Texas Rangers 5-4 on Tuesday night. The Rays trailed by a run before Longoria connected against Arthur Rhodes (3-3) with two out. Longoria’s fourth homer came after Johnny Damon reached on an opposite-field bloop single that deflected off shortstop Elvis Andrus’ glove. Longoria was back hitting fourth after three games as the leadoff man, a move designed to help him work out of an offensive funk. The All-Star third baseman went 2 for 3 with a walk Tuesday after getting five hits in 11 at-bats during the previous three games. Nelson Cruz scored from third on a wild pitch by Joel Peralta (2-3) with two outs in the eighth as the Rangers took a 4-3 lead. Sean Rodriguez and Matt Joyce also homered for the Rays. Kyle Farnsworth pitched the ninth for his 10th save. Indians 6, Blue Jays 3 TORONTO — Mitch Talbot won for the first time since April 11, Grady Sizemore drove in a pair of runs and Cleveland snapped Toronto’s four-game winning streak. Sizemore came in 0 for 12 with seven strikeouts in three games since coming off the disabled list last week. But ended his slump with a pair of RBI doubles. He finished 2 for 4, raising his average to .255. White Sox 10, Red Sox 7 BOSTON — Alexei Ramirez tied his career high with four hits, and Philip Humber stymied Boston for seven innings. It was Chicago’s sixth straight win at Fenway Park, its longest streak here since the “Go Go” Sox era of 1958-59. Humber (4-3) scattered six hits in the first seven innings before giving up three more in the eighth as Boston cut the deficit
MIAMI (AP) — Logan Morrison says at first he thought Twitter was lame, although he uses a more colorful adjective because he’s a 23-year-old ballplayer who’s a fan of Dave Chappelle, and he talks like one. He also tweets like one, to the amusement of thousands and the dismay of his team’s top executive. Morrison gradually became hooked on Twitter and now has more than 26,000 followers. That total’s impressive considering he’s less than halfway through his first full season in the major leagues and plays for the Florida Marlins, a team unaccustomed to attention. But the left fielder known as LoMo may lead the league in Web wisecracks. Few athletes are wittier on Twitter. “It’s amazing how many people take you seriously,” he says. “I don’t take it seriously at all.” That’s what worries team president David Samson. The Marlins monitor tweets by all of their employees, and Samson says he has warned Morrison that his R-rated material could carry negative repercussions. “I’m not a dinosaur,” Samson says. “But I’m not thrilled. It’s very scary to me. I’ve told Logan, ‘People are waiting for you to make a mistake. They’re going to bait you on Twitter to say something inappropriate that you can never take back.’ “It takes an entire career to build a reputation, and one tweet to lose it. As long as he understands that.”
to 10-5. In all, Humber was charged with four runs while walking one and striking out five in 72⁄3 innings — the first time in seven starts he has allowed more than three runs. Chris Sale came on in the ninth after Boston cut the deficit to 10-7 and struck out Adrian Gonzalez looking on three pitches to earn his second save. Tigers 8, Twins 7 DETROIT — Brennan Boesch broke an eighth-inning tie with a sacrifice fly, leading the Tigers to the victory. After Danny Worth led off the bottom of the eighth with a single, Austin Jackson tried to bunt him to second. Twins reliever
Phil Dumatrait (0-1) tried to get the force play but threw late and wildly to second. Casper Wells then bunted the runners to second and third before Boesch hit a fly ball to right. Justin Morneau hit two home runs for Minnesota, including a two-run shot in the seventh that gave the Twins a brief 7-6 lead. Royals 7, Angels 3 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jeff Francis pitched seven strong innings and rookie Eric Hosmer drove in two runs in Kansas City’s five-run third. Alex Gordon and Chris Getz both had three hits for the Royals, who won for only the fourth time in 17 games.

Minnesota’s Justin Morneau doubled his homer output for the season on tuesday with two blasts, but the twins still lost to detroit 8-7.
WASHINGTON — Danny Espinosa hit a pair of homers and drove in four runs to lead the Washington Nationals to a 10-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night. Espinosa hit a three-run shot to cap the Nationals’ five-run third inning, and added another solo blast in the sixth, his 10th of the season. It was the second multihomer game of his career. Jason Marquis (6-2) gave up two runs on eight hits, struck out four and did not allow a walk in 6 1-3 innings. It was his first win against Philadelphia since joining the Nationals for the 2010 season. In his previous six starts against the Phillies, Marquis was 0-5 with a 9.49 ERA in 242⁄3 innings. Cliff Lee (4-5) allowed six runs on seven hits, walked three and struck out four. The six runs tied his season high. Pirates 5, Mets 1 NEW YORK — Neil Walker hit a two-run single in the eighth
inning off a game and gritty R.A. Dickey to help the Pirates rally past the Mets. Josh Harrison stroked a tying single with two outs in the eighth to cap a successful major league debut. Brewers 7, Reds 2 CINCINNATI — Ailing Corey Hart homered and drove in four runs on a hot, muggy night, leading the Brewers to a victory over the Reds that broke their losing streak in Cincinnati. The Brewers had lost their last six games and 12 of their last 13 at Great American Ball Park. The road overall has been a bad place for Milwaukee this season — the Brewers are 9-18 away from home. Hart missed two games over the weekend with a stomach illness. He hit a three-run homer off Chad Reineke (0-1), who made his first big league appearance in two years. Hart later singled home a run. Padres 5, Braves 4 ATLANTA— Ryan Ludwick had an RBI single in the three-
run seventh, Heath Bell struggled to earn a fourth straight save and the Padres beat the Braves for their season-high fourth consecutive victory. The Padres haven’t won four consecutive games since they had a five-game streak last Aug. 15-19. They also took a series against the Braves for just the second time in the last 13 tries. Ludwick, who went 4 for 5, has hit safely in 15 of 18 games, raising his batting average 77 points to .258 since May 10. He finished the month with 23 RBIs. Bell survived a tough ninth to earn his 14th in 15 chances. Cardinals 4, Giants 3 ST. LOUIS — Skip Schumaker’s infield RBI hit capped a three-run eighth inning, taking tough-luck Chris Carpenter off the hook in the Cardinals’ victory over the Giants. Albert Pujols and Allen Craig hit RBI doubles in the eighth before Schumaker, who had been in a 2-for-19 slump, got the goahead single against Javier
Lopez (2-1) on a perfectly placed grounder between first and second. Schumaker’s headfirst dive into the bag beat the throw from second baseman Freddy Sanchez, who went far to his left to glove the ball. Astros 7, Cubs 3 CHICAGO — Cubs closer Carlos Marmol blew his third save of the season, allowing six runs in the ninth inning as the Astros beat Chicago. Matt Downs’ pinch-hit, tworun double tied the game and Michael Bourn singled in the goahead run off Marmol (1-2). Hunter Pence added a three-run shot for the Astros. Jordan Lyles tossed seven brilliant innings in his Major League debut. Marlins 5, Diamondbacks 2 PHOENIX — Anibal Sanchez pitched eight effective innings and drove in two runs on chopping groundouts, helping the Florida Marlins end Arizona's seven-game winning streak with a win over the Diamondbacks late Tuesday night.

Symptom-free with rare liver disorder
A deal with bidding and play problems BY PHILLIP ALDER
Dear Dr. Gott: I have been reading your column for years and have a question about Caroli’s disease. I was diagnosed with it a few years ago and am currently in remission or symptom-free at this time. I found out I had it by accident when I had a CT scan for some pain on my left side. The technician did a full scan DR. PETER of my abdomen and GOTT then over to my right side and told me to see a specialist. I went through a series of blood tests and then an MRI scan. The process took about two months before I was diagnosed. My father and grandfather are now believed to have had the disease, but we did not know it at the time of their deaths. They both had liver and kidney problems and cancer. I have had my boys tested through a blood test, and they are negative for the disease. I have other siblings who also tested negative for it. They have children, but not all have been tested. So far, I am the only one in the family. I went to a specialist who said I might not get the disease/symptoms at all, but if I do, there is medication and treatment available. Any advice would be appreciated. Dear Reader: This rare, congenital disease/syndrome (that affects about one in every 1 million people) is a
biliary-tree disorder characterized by abnormal dilation of the ducts that carry bile from the liver. There are two forms of Caroli’s — the disease and the syndrome. The disease occurs primarily in the main bile ducts and is not as common as the syndrome, which is associated with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease. While the disease is not inherited, the syndrome is, so you were correct in having your family tested. Jacques Caroli, a French gastroenterologist, first described this condition in 1958. I don’t know when your father and grandfather were diagnosed, but my guess is that there wasn’t much known about the disease/syndrome at the time. Symptoms include abdominal pain and, in rare instances, jaundice. Complications from portal hypertension may cause hematemesis and melena (the coughing up of blood or blood in the feces). In both instances, the bleeding results from ruptured veins. Fever and abdominal pain can result from infected bile. As you have discovered, diagnosis is determined through lab testing of bilirubin levels, liver-function tests, blood cultures, biopsy, ultrasound, CT, MRI or ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography). PTC (percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography) is an invasive procedure, but visualization of the biliary tree is possible, and drainage catheters may be inserted to divert bile.

Here is a deal from a social game. Look first at the North hand. He opens one club and partner responds one spade. What should North rebid? After you have decided, peek at the South hand also. You are in four spades. West leads a low diamond. What would be your line of play? There is no “perfect” rebid with that North hand. But the best is two notrump. The hand is too strong for three clubs, and a jump to three spades (which was chosen at the table) ought to deliver a fourth trump. Over two no-trump, you would rebid three hearts, and North would continue with three spades to show
his three-card support. Then you, having described 5-4 in the majors, should bid three no-trump, strongly suggesting 5-4-2-2 (or maybe 5-4-3-1) distribution with weak spades. North would correct to four
spades. The right line in four spades seems to be to take the first trick with the diamond ace, cash the king-queen of hearts, and call for a low club. If West has the ace and takes your king with it, then cashes a high diamond before returning a club, win that in the dummy and guess how to continue. Here, though, East rushes in with the club ace, cashes the diamond queen, and exits with a club to your king. How should you play the spades? If East gets in and can lead the last club, you might suffer an overruff by West. To try to keep East off lead, play a spade to dummy’s queen. Here, that finesse works and you lose only one spade, one diamond and one club.

Amazon’s gamble gives Lady Gaga 1M in album sales NEW YORK (AP) — Lady Gaga sold more than 1.1 million copies of her new album “Born This Way” last week with an assist from Amazon.com. Billboard announced Tuesday that “Born This Way” has become just the 17th album to sell a million copies in its first week since SoundScan started tracking sales in 1991. It is also the top-selling digital debut with 662,000 downloads. The album is Lady Gaga’s first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and captured the high-
est sales week since 2005. The dance pop provocateur is just the fifth female with a million-selling album in the SoundScan era. Sixty percent of sales were digital thanks to a push by online retailer Amazon.com. Amazon sold album downloads for 99 cents Tuesday and Thursday and sold more than 440,000 digital copies.

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER The cold front associated with the storm system in eastern Canada will continue to advance eastward across the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley then onto the East Coast by Wednesday evening. Expect showers and thunderstorms to continue along and ahead of the cold front. A risk of severe thunderstorms is expected across parts of the Middle and northern Atlantic coast states, with damaging wind gusts and large hail. The southern portion of the front will lift north into the Central Plains Wednesday. As the front interacts with the Gulf moisture, more showers and thunderstorms are expected again Wednesday. Some maybe severe. Out West, an unseasonably cold trough of low pressure will move eastward gradually across the Western U.S. Wednesday and Thursday. This will result in continued cold temperatures and unsettled weather conditions across much of the West. Moderate to locally heavy precipitation is possible in the Northwest, Northern California and northern Intermountain West. Elsewhere, a weak trough of low pressure off the Southeast Coast will support a few showers and thunderstorms over portions of the Southeast. Moreover, some showers and thunderstorms are possible over the southern High Pains, mainly in the afternoon and evening.
