City MODERN-DAY PROSPECTORS declares items nuisances Council discusses code violations, rate increases BY SHELLEY SMITH
ssmith@salisburypost.com
The Salisbury City Council declared three items on Robert Boone’s property at 1605 S. Main St. public nuisances, and the city will abate the nuisances some time in the near future. The three items declared as nuisances were piles of dirt, a concrete barrier and six dilapidated U.S. flags. Councilmen William “Pete” Kennedy and Brian Miller asked Code Services Manager Chris Branham numerous questions about the property and notifications/contact with Boone, and Branham assured him everything had been done to help Boone rather than hurt him. “City Manager David Treme and I met with Mr. Boone last Tuesday afternoon, for 45 minutes,” Mayor Pro-Tem Maggie Blackwell said. “We strongly encouraged him to have the landscaping completed today. We made every effort to work with him. “I strongly feel that our city has made every effort to support this individual. When we asked him to have his landscaping completed by today, he said he would not.” “It is unfortunate because I don’t ever like to be in this situation,” Miller said. “It’s really unfortunate because this person’s had ample opportunity to keep this from becoming the result. I personally am satisfied that you guys have done what you can do with it.” Treme said he even told Boone he would personally help him remove the dirt and flags from his property. He also purchased flags for Boone, but he did not take them. “We really pleaded with him to take those actions,” he said. “Mr. Boone himself mentioned that he already purchased flags but he just hadn’t put them up yet.”

Council votes to rezone property Land to be used to construct homeless veterans facility BY SHELLEY SMITH

right voted in favor of the first option. Councilmen Brandon Linn and Ron Overcash said they could not fathom hitting the minimum users. “We gripe and complain about Salisbury-Rowan Utilities...we are the same as Salisbury,” Overcash said. He said he did not agree with telling someone they would be charged for using 2,000 gallons even if they didn’t actually use that much. China Grove receives water
The Salisbury City Council voted in favor Tuesday to rezone a portion of land on Calvin Avenue for a 25-unit homeless veterans facility. Calvin Avenue is located behind the Salisbury Mall. The development, Liberty Square, will house one full-time, onsite caseworker. The remaining units will house 24 homeless veterans. Scott Redinger, a housing consultant for RHA Health Services of High Point, spoke to the council during the public hearing, and said the units would provide transitional housing for the veterans. The facility will also house a large activity room, kitchen to share meals, library, computer room, exercise room and laundry room. Each individual room will be equivalent to a large hotel room with a kitchenette and bathroom. “There is a need,” Redinger said. The VA Hospital in Salisbury, “needs transitional housing for homeless veterans who are seen at the hospital but have no place to go,” he said. “The VA Hospital has been working with us to help us accomplish that.” Scott Little, also with RHA, spoke in favor of the facility, noting the importance of having a transitional place for veterans. “We come to this project with a very strong background in property development and dealing with primary disability issues with veterans as they try to transition back into society,” Little said. “This is not just housing.” Lit-

China Grove board opts to raise water, sewer rates BY SHAVONNE POTTS
spotts@salisburypost.com
CHINA GROVE — The town board debated for sometime Tuesday about implementing a new sewer and water rate, which, if raised, would bring in just enough to balance those budgets. The meeting was the the last in a sequence of budget sessions and the board expects a public hearing in two weeks followed by final approval of the 20102011 budget. The current rate for water is $8 per 1,000 gallons and $9.50 per

1,000 gallons for sewer. Last year’s sewer rate went up from $9 to $9.50, while the water rate remained the same. The town staff came up with three options the board could consider concerning the water and sewer rates. The options would mostly affect the people who use the least. The idea was to increase the minimum number of gallons a person uses from 1,000 to 2,000 gallons. There is an average of 773 people who use less than 1,000 gallons. If the town increases that minimum to 2,000 gallons that would mean one-

third of the users — 461 people — would pay more with an increase in the minimum amount they consume. The board reluctantly chose the first option, opting to double the minimum usage from 1,000 to 2,000 gallons. The water rate would go from $8 to $9 and the sewer rate would increase from $9.50 to $10.20. Town staff originally proposed a sewer rate of $10, but it was determined that adding 20 cents would bring the town over their $13,000 shortfall.

Treme said he has received phone calls, emails and visits from other people in Salisbury saying that the city better not back down, saying that if it did, there could be problems with other people and properties in the future should the city attempt to enforce an ordinance. As of Tuesday, Boone had accrued $26,250 in $250/day charges for having dilapidated flags on his property. He will also have to pay the cost of the abatement. If he refuses to pay the abatement fees, a tax lean will be placed on his property. “The money is not our main object here, we just want it corrected,” Treme said. “We do have a code enforcer, and he’s done an excellent job,” Mayor Susan Kluttz said. “We have this in place, and everyone in the city has to be treated equally. I don’t know that we really have a choice.” Boone’s property could be cleared of the piles of dirt, concrete barrier and six U.S. flags as soon as today. Another hot topic during the meeting was the city’s budget. Two people spoke out against Salisbury’s 2010-2011 fiscal year budget during the a public hearing, both speaking against proposed rate increases for water and sewer services. Jerry Shelby was first to speak, focusing on Salisbury’s rate of poverty and how

from Salisbury-Rowan Utilities. At the time the town entered into the contract with Salisbury it used more water than it does now, but it’s still billed the original amount. Overcash and Linn were in agreement with the second option the town staff proposed, which was to keep the minimum usage at 1,000 gallons and set the water rate at $9.75 and the sewer $10.75. The second option would’ve generated $14,000 in revenue, but historically has not worked well.
Councilman Withers has said when the town has gone up on its minimum rates in the past, all of those customers just decreased the amount of water they used, resulting in a loss for the town, which in this case would be an average loss of 12 percent or about $106,000. “None of us want to do it, but we have to do it,” Withers said. Town Manager Bill Pless said either way those minimum users will have to pay now or in the next budget year. “It’s not a favorable situation, but hopefully it will position the town in a better po-

tle noted that crisis management, basic case management, financial help and further education and job training will be part of the facility, too. “I think this creates a lot more stability,” he said. Hattie Johnson is the home coordinator for the Hefner VA Homes Program and is a veteran herself. “We have in excess over 800 homeless veterans in fiscal year 2009-2010,” Johnson said. “Those homeless are coming from all over.” She stressed the need for such facility. “Why is there a need?” she asked, “because you don’t have one. “We don’t need just housing, we need treatment compiled with housing. The VA can provide medical and mental health but we need the community — a collaborative partnership. The goal is to end homelessness.” The Rev. Nilous Avery also spoke in favor of the facility. “It’s scary to see that maybe we’re not doing enough for our veterans,” he said. “Liberty Square is becoming a part of the community that is already a diverse community. “It is also a ministry. It is serving to impact and build lives. I believe that it is a ministry that helps the veterans embrace who they are and what they’ve done. Help
sition next year,” Bringle said. Right, wrong or indifferent, it’s a difficult decision, he said. “Next year will be more difficult,” Bringle said. The board decided to continue with the proposed property tax increase discussed during last week’s meeting. The town will increase the current 38 cents tax rate to 43 cents per $100 of assessed value, the highest it’s been in at least six years. Even with the tax increase and water/sewer increases, the town still will have to borrow from the fund balance, which is the town’s cash reserves, to balance the budget.

envision a future they probably might not have had that RHA can provide. “This can only help our community. We’re ready to welcome them with open arms.” The council was happy to hear Liberty Square was coming to Salisbury and also have it in a central location, where veterans will have access to the Salisbury Mall, other businesses and public transportation stops. The council also heard a presentation on Henderson Street traffic from traffic engineer Wendy Brindle. Brindle said she and other city staff met with residents of Henderson Street on April 29, discussing their needs and wants concerning traffic problems with the street, mainly between Fulton and Grove streets. Brindle said she and the residents discussed several methods of curbing speeding traffic, such as traffic circles, signs and painted pedestrian crosswalks. Additional funding for signs or crosswalks would not be needed, however, a traffic circle costs about $5,000, she said. Mayor Pro-Tem Maggie Blackwell suggested a traffic circle be tested for its effectiveness, and that the residents come together to raise the $5,000. Brindle and the council agreed with Blackwell’s idea. If a traffic circle was installed, the diameter of the circle would be 20 to 22 feet, and the landscaping in-

everyone is struggling to stay afloat across the city. “I don’t know how to cut my costs anymore unless I come here and sponge bath in the water fountain,” he said of the proposed 5.57 percent increase in water and sewer. “It costs more to read the meter than it does for the usage.” Shelby held up a Walmart bag, and said he does not use trash services, placing his bags in his neighbor’s trash bin, not only to save money, but “to save a stop for the truck,” he said. “There has to be a better way than annually taxing those that can least afford it,” he said. Victor Wallace spoke against the rate increase and handed the council a print out of water and sewer rate figures from the N.C. League of Municipalities. “Salisbury is on top — 5,000 gallons per month,” he said. “You can see that Salisbury is substantially higher than a number of these. What’s at play here is the law of demand. “As a commodity’s price goes up, the consumers buy less of it. I think it’s been going on for years. I would like for you to study these rate sheets and consider fully what we’re doing and why we’re doing it. “In this time of the great recession, I think we should freeze these rates as long as we can.” Kluttz thanked Shelby and Wallace for speaking, and their comments will be considered during the council’s budget workshop Monday, June 14.
days — are better than others. Rose and Eugene Absher of Oak Hill, W.Va., arrived at Mountain Creek over the weekend in their camper, and they’re making it a week of prospecting. The truth is, most prospectors come from out of state, Tucker says. A novice, Rose says she became hooked the other day when she found a piece of gold about the size of the end of her finger. Will Wilcox, a special guest at Mountain Creek this week, has the look of a gold prospector. He wears a black top hat made of rabbit fur with a couple of feathers sticking in the band. He has the leathery skin forged from a lot of lonely days in the sun. His long, unruly beard fits the prospecting stereotype. He always keeps a loaded gun close to him, and the dog sleeping nearby seems to be tired of all his stories. Under a portable awning set up next to his van, the 81-year-old Wilcox sits behind a table holding his wares: natural gold jewelry, panning sands and numerous gold nuggets he has found. His book, “The Nugget Man,” also is for sale, and it has “so many tall tales in there you need a step-stool or extension ladder to get to the top,” Wilcox says. A display case in front of

how to pan. As for the gold he personally has found at Mountain Creek, Smith says he sold a lot of it when the price started to go up steadily. “I find a little bit,” he says, working his trough. “Lately, they’ve been finding some pretty good stuff.” His son, Tom, tries to visit Mountain Creek several times a year to see his dad and prospect himself. An electrician back in Massachusetts, the young Smith says he has four different bottles filled with pieces of gold found in Stanly County. “I worked too hard for it,” he adds. “I’m not going to sell it.” What’s a successful day of prospecting? “As long as you get yellow at the bottom of the pan, it’s successful,” Jim Winters says. Winters calls West Virginia home, but he also has spent much of his time in recent years helping Tucker. He keeps the bits of gold he collects from his own prospecting, planning to give a small bottle of gold to each of his eight grandchildren. There are certain axioms one
keeps hearing in the recreational prospecting business. If you see quartz, gold is probably close by. “And you get more gold if you run more dirt,” Winters says. Dredging, which is also available at Mountain Creek, is one of the ways to run more dirt. It’s essentially relies on a 4-inch vacuum cleaner sucking the silt off the creek bottom and washing the dirt as it goes through the tube. Nadine Bowers, Tucker’s daughter and a fourth-generation prospector, says prospectors find “pickers,” “clunkers” and “nuggets” on the family property. She recently found, for example, a sliver weighing an eighth of an ounce. “He’s hunted all his life,” she says of her father, “and I’ve hunted all my life.” Retired from Alcoa, Tucker says a half-ounce of gold is the biggest piece to come out of Mountain Creek in his lifetime. He has mined 16 total ounces of gold in one day — a personal record. “There’s a hundred percent chance you will find gold,” Tucker guarantees, though the gold finding its way to the bottom of pans often will be flecks and specks, barely glinting in the sun. Tucker acknowledges that some batches of soil — and some

KANNAPOLIS — More than 60 students found creative ways to depict human health and metabolism during the annual art contest hosted by the UNC Nutrition Research Institute at the N.C. Research Campus. Miguel Angel Olivares Robledo, a senior at A. L. Brown High School, did it the best. He won the grand prize for illustrating the theme, “What Revs Up Your Metabolism?” and took home cash and prizes worth more than $250. Scientists at the Nutrition Research Institute are working to understand why people’s metabolism and nutrition requirements differ and how that knowledge could help solve some of the world’s greatest health problems, including diabetes, heart disease, cancer and stroke. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is one of eight universities studying health and nutrition in Kannapolis. Winning artwork will hang
in the Nutrition Research Institute, where visiting researchers from across the globe will view the talents of students from area schools. “The NRI is committed to engaging students on many levels, and this art contest is just another way for us to expose students to the research happening here,” Director Dr. Steven Zeisel said when presenting the awards. The contest encourages students to develop an interest in science, said Dr. Jim Martin, former North Carolina governor and chair of the UNC Nutrition Research Institute Board of Advisors. “I really appreciate this partnership with local schools and look forward to seeing these students continue to become more directly involved in nutrition and science,” Martin said in a statement.

A 23-year-old Salisbury woman who was found lying on the side of Lowder Road, appearing to be dead, is expected to be released from Rowan Regional Medical Center today. Investigators with the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office have a lot of questions about what happened between the time the woman left home on a date around 4 p.m. and 6:15, when she was found on the side
of the road. Capt. John Sifford of the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office said a man driving along Lowder Road — between Barringer and Sherrills Ford roads — Sunday around 6:15 p.m. saw what he thought was a body on the side of the road. The man attempted to call 911 but his cell phone didn’t have service. He drove a short distance to the home of a family member who called 911 to report the body of a white female in her late teens or early 20s.
Early voting for the June 22 second primary begins at the headquarters of the Rowan Public Library on Thursday. One-stop voting will be open through Saturday, June 19, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the final Saturday. The building is located at 201 West Fisher St. in Salisbury. One-stop voting will not be held at the Board of Elections office. Polls will be open for voting Tuesday, June 22, from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Nancy Evans, Rowan County elections director, referred to the county’s last runoff election to estimate the turnout for this one. In 2004, a runoff was held for Republican county commissioner candidates Jim Sides and David Aycoth, as well as Democratic superintendent of public instruction candidates June Atkinson and Marshall Stewart. “The total countywide turnout was 6.38 percent, so that is probably going to be pretty close to what it’s going to be this time,” Evans said. At 13.17 percent, turnout in the first 2004 primary election was slightly less than this year’s showing of 15.37 percent. Evans said she expects a similar drop in participation to what was seen six years ago, because people are more likely to forget about the second primary election. “Summertime is vacation time, and people just don’t really think about it,” she said. Those who voted in the Republican or Democratic primary on May 4 must participate in the same party’s second pri-

Sifford said the woman appeared to be under the influence of drugs and had drugs on her person. She had bruises indicating some
type of physical altercation. Sifford said she has talked with investigators, but has not been cooperative. Members of her family said she left home around 4 p.m. with a man she knew. Sifford said the man is a suspected drug dealer. At this point, the sheriff’s office is not releasing the woman’s name. The sheriff’s office is asking anyone with information concerning the case to call detective Clint Mauldin at 704-216-8700.

A week after 32-year-old Terry Dwayne Lark was gunned down on his front porch, police are asking for the public’s help to find his killer. Lark was shot shortly after 10 p.m. on Sunday, May 23. He heard a knock on the front door of his home at 226 S. Clay St. When he went to the door, he was confronted by two masked men. One of the men shot Lark in the upper torso. He died a short while later at Rowan Regional Medical Center. Lark played football at Salisbury High School where he graduated. He also attended A&T State University in Greensboro. Funeral services for Lark were held Saturday. He is survived by three sons and one daughter, along with his parents and other family members.

Center for Environment to sponsor free emissions testing Center for the Environment at Catawba College
The game between the Intimidators and the Augusta GreenJackets won’t be the only feature Friday, June 25, at Intimidator Stadium in Kannapolis. The Center for the Environment at Catawba College will partner with Mecklenburg Air Quality Program, Rowan-Cabarrus Community College (RCCC) and the Intimidator Stadium to test gas caps for leaks and check tire pressure from 4 to 7 p.m. Fleet owners as well as individuals may bring their vehicles by for the emissions and tire pressure checks. Gas caps that fail the test will be replaced free of charge. RCCC’s Automotive Department will also check emissions systems on all vehicles made after 1996. In addition, the first 200 people will receive free tire gauges. Children can play on the Intimidator playground while their parents get their cars checked, and food will be available for purchase in the stadium. Alan Giles, senior air quality specialist with the Mecklenburg Air Quality Program, notes that 30 gallons of gasoline and about 200 pounds of evaporative emissions can be released every year from a leaking gas cap. This contributes to air pollution and wastes fuel. Wade Vernon, head of RCCC’s automotive group, says leaks can go undetected. “A ‘check engine’ light will come on only if a failure of an emission system takes place twice consecutively,” he says. “Gas caps could leak, and people wouldn’t know it. Leaks that are smaller than .020” could possibly never be detected by the vehicles onboard computer.” This “Check It Out” event is a service of the Center for

the Environment’s Campaign for Clean Air, which is designed to educate citizens in our community and region and empower them to take action to address the air quality issues the region faces. Shelia Armstrong, the Center’s air quality outreach coordinator, points out that the American Lung Association recently listed Rowan County as the 17th worst county in the nation for ground-level ozone. The Charlotte-Gastonia-Salisbury metropolitan area, which includes Cabarrus County, was ranked 10th in the nation for the most ozone-polluted cities. Leaking gas caps contribute to the region’s air pollution. Children and the elderly — more than 115,000 in Rowan and Cabarrus — as well as people with lung disease and those who work or exercise outdoors are particularly susceptible. In North Carolina each year, air pollution leads to an estimated 3,000 premature deaths; 6,000 hospital admissions for respiratory disease and another 2,000 for cardiovascular disease; and 1,500 new cases of asthma and 2,500 cases of chronic bronchitis in adults. Asthma, lung cancer, Hodgkin’s disease and heart attacks have all been scientifically linked to traffic-related air pollution. “These tests will help individuals and fleet owners ensure that their vehicles pass the emissions tests,” Armstrong says. “It is one more step in making our air healthy to breathe.” The Center for the Environment at Catawba College was founded in 1996 to educate the public and the college community about regional environmental challenges and to foster community-based sustainable solutions to those challenges. It seeks to serve as a model for programs throughout the country.

Child advocacy center seeks national accreditation BY SHAVONNE POTTS
spotts@salisburypost.com
A child advocacy center is in the process of seeking national accreditation and is currently implementing new state standards. The Terrie Hess House, a program of Prevent Child Abuse Rowan, is Rowan County’s Children Advocacy Center Newly-named director Elizabeth Thomas spoke to the Community Child Protection Team during its Tuesday meeting about the center. The center is currently provisionally accredited, meaning it has made significant steps toward meeting full accreditation with Children’s Advocacy Centers of North Carolina, the state’s accrediting body. An agency that has full accreditation is capable of receiving more funding, which would allow for more services to be offered. Accreditation standards became effective in January. In order to become fully accredited, the agency must submit data to the state. Thomas said this is no easy task. For instance, each entity, whether law enforcement or child protective services, involved in a child abuse case collects different data. That data isn’t necessarily reported to the advocacy center. There is no way to know how many reported cases of abuse in there are in Rowan, Thomas said. Member William Peoples wanted to know why each of the entities involved — law enforcement, social services and the advocacy center, were not on the same page. Tom Brewer, child protective services program administrator, said his department and law enforcement are beginning to conduct joint interviews. It’s a matter of getting all of the agencies involved and working together, Thomas said. Thomas told the group about how the center operates. A multi-disciplinary team coordinates investiga-
tions of all child sex abuse allegations in Rowan County. Throughout the years, advocates have changed the way an investigation is conducted. In the past, Thomas said, police, social services, medical personnel and victim’s advocates all conducted interviews, a process that has been found to further traumatize the victims. Now one interview is conducted, usually at a child advocacy center, where a forensic interview is done. A forensic interview ensures the interviewer’s objectivity, employs non-leading techniques and emphasizes carefully documented interviews. The center was named in memory of Terrie Spencer Hess, the first president of Prevent Child Abuse Rowan. The group also received updates from the Prescription Drug Abuse subcommittee headed by Sheriff Kevin Auten. The Social Services Board co-sponsored a community roundtable about prescription drug abuse among teens in January. The goal is for the community to be informed about prescription drug abuse. Retired Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police detective Ernest Kirchin, led the first roundtable and serves on the subcommittee. Kirchin is also the training and education director for the National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators (NADDI). Plans are in place for another forum, which will be open to more of the community. One of the needs the subcommittee identified was to speak with lawmakers about changes to legislation that would allow local law enforcement to access the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program. The program is a registry database of filled prescriptions. Currently, only doctors and pharmacists have access. The problem is not all of those with access utilize the information, leaving a gap that al-
15-year-old girl charged with stabbing a Salisbury man
An argument between two teenagers at Zion Hills Apartment ended with a 15-year-old girl stabbing a 19-year-old man with a kitchen knife. The incident occurred Sunday around 6 p.m. at the apartment complex at 1614 Standish St. According to Salisbury Police, the 14-year-old girl got into an argument with Desmond Jermaine Torrence, 19. A some point, the girl’s brother, Keith Moore, came to her aid. A fight broke out between Moore and Torrence. Torrence then went to his apartment and brought back a silver pocketknife. According to the police report, the girl then went into another apartment and brought out a kitchen knife and stabbed Torrence. He sustained a 2-inch laceration in his left shoulder. The girl, who turned 15 Monday, faces a juvenile petition for assault. Torrence and Moore were charged with fighting.
lows people to prescription “shop” for doctor prescribed drugs. Auten told the subcommittee during its March meeting that from 2001 to 2008, the Department of Health and Human Services identified only two deaths in Rowan County of children under the age of 18 that were directly connected to pharmaceuticals. However, for that same time, there were 341 deaths attributed to legally prescribed medications. Assistant District Attorney Karen Biernacki told the group that the sell of prescription medications has basically taken over the sell of cocaine. Those who typically sell cocaine have “branched out” into prescription pill sells, she said. Member Carl Ford mentioned that it’s easy for pharmacists to talk to each other because their computers are linked, but when someone takes a prescription to several different pharmacies in multiple counties, that’s when it gets difficult. Child Protective Services Supervisor Wendy Baskins said they’ve had clients who’ve gotten teeth pulled in order to receive a prescription for painkillers. Dr. Nilous Avery, who is also a community representative, said it starts by educating children about the dangers. Dr. Walter Hart, assistant superintendent for administration, said it’s taught in the schools, but, unfortunately, when the students leave school they don’t get the same instruction. The Community Child Protection Team is comprised of agency representatives, child advocates and residents who identify and address gaps in child protection services. The team operates in the capacity of a resident review panel, which is has done since 1996. The group, which meets quarterly, will host its next meeting Sept. 14 in the Stanback Room of the Rowan Public Library.

2 charged in connection with ATV theft Deputies following the trail left by a stolen ATV and stolen dirt bike, found both — plus more. The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office has charged two western Rowan men in the thefts and the two may face additional charges in Cleveland. WRIGHT Deputies c h a r g e d R i c h a r d Wright III, 16, 1880 Hildebrand Road, and Chris Grindstead, 21, 505 Barber Junction Road, Cleveland. Both are charged with breaking and entering of a building and larceny of a motor vehicle. Capt. John GRINDSTEAD Sifford said deputies responded to a call at the Tony Barber residence on old U.S. 70 on May 27. Barber reported a Honda dirt bike and a Honda ATV had been taken from a shed some time between May 23 and 27. While deputies were on the scene, a neighbor reported seeing ATV tracks going into the woods nearby. Following the tracks, both the bike and ATV were located about 100 yards into the woods. Deputies found a black bag on the ATV that included 750 rounds of .380 caliber ammunition, and lesser quantities of
other ammunition, including hollow-point bullets. Barber told deputies that the ammunition wasn’t his. Investigators believe the ammunition was taken, along with guns, in a break-in in the town of Cleveland.
Sheriff’s office seeks help locating sex offender The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office is seeking public assistance in locating a registered sex offender. Gregory Bohannon failed to return his change of address form, BOHANNON according to Capt. John Sifford. A warrant has been issued for Bohannon for failure to register as a sex offender. According to the N.C. Department of Corrections website, the 42-year-old Bohannon was convicted in Davie County in 2002 of taking indecent liberties with a child. Anyone with information on Bohannon’s location is asked to contact the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office at 704-216-8700 or Crime Stoppers at 1-866-6395245.
Unlicensed man accused of practicing veterinary medicine RALEIGH (AP) — A North Carolina man has been arrested and accused of practicing veterinary medicine without a license. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that 30year-old Michael Johnson of Raleigh is accused of selling veterinary medicine online. Court records released Monday show Johnson is charged with two misdemeanor counts of unauthorized practice of veterinary medicine. Johnson told a Wake County magistrate he didn’t know offering to sell the medicines was illegal.

Kannapolis Scholars arrive for summer at N.C. Research Campus BY EMILY FORD
eford@salisburypost.com
KANNAPOLIS — Six students from universities across the state arrived at the N.C. Research Campus over Memorial Day weekend. The students are the first crop of Kannapolis Scholars at the campus, a life sciences complex in downtown Kannapolis founded by billionaire Dole Food Co. chairman David Murdock. The scholars will spend 10 weeks this summer working with renowned researchers in state-of-the-art labs. Each student is paired with mentors from at least two of the eight uni-
versities at the Research Campus. Christine Bradish, an N.C. State University graduate student in horticultural science, will research phytochemical variation in North Carolina-grown raspberries. Ultimately, she hopes her research will boost the state’s economy by developing a raspberry industry. The scholars program is a firstof-its-kind transdisciplinary training program that brings postgraduate students to the Research Campus to study food science, nutrition and human health. The campus is a perfect fit because of the diverse faculty and disciplines that come together at one
site, according to Dr. Jack Odle, director of the Kannapolis Scholars program. “We have the goal of training the scholars to become interactive scientists so they will not only study deeply in their chosen discipline, but they also will be expected to interact significantly with colleagues in allied disciplines,” Odle, a professor of nutritional biochemistry at N.C. State University, said in a statement. N.C. State directs the program, which is supported by a $1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. At least 20 student scholars will come to the Research Campus in the next four years.
BRIEFS Energy rebates start today CHARLOTTE — Phase one of N.C.’s Cash for Appliances program was wildly successful, with more than $7 million dollars of available rebate funds being used up in a matter of days. Today, the final phase begins and it offers consumers rebates to trade-in their old appliances for new, energyefficient appliances marked with the Energy Star logo. The difference between the first phase and this phase is that more appliances are eligible for the rebate program, including air conditioners, water heaters, heat pumps and furnaces. This federally-funded program is being administered by individual states. The State of N.C. has $1 million remaining for the second phase of the Cash for Appliances program and the money is expected to be depleted quickly. The amount of the instant rebate equals 15 percent of the cost of the new appliance being purchased. For example, if you buy a new refrigerator at a cost of $1,500, the instant rebate to you will be 15 percent or $225 which would reduce the cost you will pay to $1,275. Many retailers are offering incentives and discounts on top of the 15 percent rebate. According to BBB President Tom Bartholomy, “If you need a new refrigerator or other eligible appliance, now is definitely the time to buy.” If you need new appliances, the BBB has this advice for you: • Buy early. The rebates end when the money runs out and that could happen the first day. • Know what appliances are eligible. The only appliances that qualify for the 15 percent rebate are ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerators, freezers, washers and dishwashers and certain types of water heaters, heat pumps, air conditioners and furnaces. Stoves, microwaves, dryers and other appliances are not included in the rebate program. • Allow time. Appliance retailers are expecting a huge influx of business. Be sure to allow ample time. When you go to a store to buy an eligible appliance, the store will have to enter your purchase into the online rebate program to insure that there is still money left in the rebate fund. • Dispose of old appliances properly. You are required to trade in your old appliances when you purchase new ones during this

A Spencer woman will place her dogs in a six-month quarantine after they were exposed to a rabid fox. This is the sixth case of rabies reported this year, the Rowan County Animal Control said. Animal control received a dead fox May 25 that Delores High, of Pinetree Drive, reported was in a dog lot with her two dogs. The dogs, a female labrador mix and a male pekingese mix, are not current on their rabies vaccinations, High told animal control. They will be held in quarantine at the shelter until notification of the test results. The fox was submitted for rabies testing, which were returned May 26. The fox was positive for rabies and the dogs will be quarantined for six months.
N.C. mostly wins in waste litigation
RALEIGH (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court has largely ruled in favor of North Carolina in a decadeold suit with other Southeastern states about low-level radioactive waste. The justices upheld Tuesday the decision of a special master that the Southeast Compact Commission and four of its states couldn’t win back tens of millions of dollars given to North Carolina to build a waste site never completed in Wake County. The primary opinion from Justice Antonin Scalia agrees with the master that the compact’s terms didn’t allow the commission to impose monetary sanctions on North Carolina.

N.C. Senate panel recommends $451M borrowing package by a committee led by State Treasurer Janet Cowell. For years, Democrats have identified this target as one they didn’t want to surpass. The package would add another $39 million to the more than $600 million in debt service the state already must pay annually on more than $6 billion in debt. “Would you do that in your personal life if you found out they were going to cut you back one day a week,” said Senate Minority Leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham. “Are you going to go out and buy a new car? I don’t care how much you need and want. You’re not going to be doing that. And we shouldn’t be doing that for the state.” The additional debt would raise the state’s annual debt
N.C. House developing plan if Medicaid money fails RALEIGH (AP) — House Democrats said Tuesday they’re still planning to run a state government budget through the chamber this week that relies on nearly $500 million in extra Medicaid money, although Congress can’t decide whether to give it. The U.S. House of Representatives approved a $112 billion spending package last week that left out a provision that would have given $24 billion in matching Medicaid funds to the states to extend a more generous formula for six more months, through June 2011. The state Senate and House budget proposals for North Carolina are balanced based on the expectations the state will receive its share of the Medicaid money, or $490 million. House budget-writers are assembling a backup plan that would direct Gov. Beverly
Perdue on how to handle the shortfall should Congress ultimately withhold the money, said Rep. Mickey Michaux, DDurham, senior co-chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. While Michaux is worried Capitol Hill won’t provide the funds, House Speaker Joe Hackney was more optimistic, pointing out that at least 29 states have already approved budget plans for the coming year. Most are counting on that money, Hackney said. Congress is on recess this week. “We think there’s a good chance the (Medicaid) money will be there,” said Hackney, D-Orange. “Before we finish this budget process, we will either know the answer or we will have contingencies in place to take care of any shortfall.” If the state House approves an $18.9 billion spending plan for the coming year
by Friday, Democrats in both chambers will negotiate a final budget plan they want to vote on and send to Perdue before the new fiscal year begins July 1. The plan, which cleared the House Finance Committee late Tuesday, was expected to be heard by the full House Appropriations Committee starting Wednesday for amendments and other debate. The Finance Committee rejected along party lines Republican amendments that would have lowered the individual income tax rate for small business owners from 7.75 percent to 6.9 percent and created tax credits for parents of children in private school or are homeschooled. Like the Senate plan approved two weeks ago, the House measure contains no broad-based tax increases or pay raises for schoolteachers and state employees. The House plan would shift
Cunningham courts seniors, defends benefits RALEIGH (AP) — Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Cal Cunningham sought Tuesday to earn the support of elderly voters — a key demographic for this month’s runoff primary. Trying to strike a contrast with rival Elaine Marshall a month after she won a first round of voting, Cunningham said he would work to keep the Social Security retirement age at current levels. He questioned a comment Marshall made two months ago when she told The Associated Press that lawmakers are going to have to look at whether to raise the retirement age to keep Social Security finances in order. Marshall pointed out that the life expectancy of the average American is on the rise. “With an aging electorate, some hard choices are going to have to be made on some of
these programs,” Marshall said at the time. Americans can get full Social Security benefits at age 67, which is up from 65 for those born before 1937. Cunningham said Social Security would be fine if lawmakers didn’t continue to raid the program’s funds. The Social Security trust funds have built up a $2.5 trillion surplus over the past 25 years but the government has borrowed that money to spend on other programs. It’s an issue Cunningham is raising to draw a distinction between himself and Marshall, who won a first primary vote last month. The two face each other in a June 22 runoff. “At the heart of it, the difference is that I’ll fight against raising the retirement age and she won’t,” said Cunningham, a Lexington attorney and for-
mer state senator, after an event at a Raleigh retirement community. “A lot of folks have made life-planning decisions in expectation that the money that they’ve paid into Social Security will be there for them.” A spokesman for Marshall, North Carolina’s secretary of state, said she simply wants to keep her options open as life expectancy rises. Hunter Bacot, the poll director at Elon University, said it’s clear that Cunningham needs the support of elderly voters. He said that demographic could be particularly pivotal in the runoff election because elderly voters consistenetly turn out in large numbers. “He’s got to do something to appeal to a group that is likely to turn out and likely to be pivotal,” Bacot said.
more financial pain to the University of North Carolina system than the House proposal due to deeper spending cuts and because the House would use $90 million in additional lottery profits to preserves jobs in public school classrooms. The House also would limit UNC enrollment growth to 1 percent in the 2011-12, although that could be removed next year.

service to an amount equal to 4.25 percent of state revenues used for operating expenses. An annual debt study created by Cowell’s committee recommended that North Carolina’s debt service stay at or below 4 percent to help protect its top-level credit rating. Deputy Treasurer Vance Holloman pointed out the study placed a ceiling on the debt of 4.75 percent. But one of the primary bill sponsors, GOP Sen. Richard Stevens of Wake County, said the state remains very conservative when it comes to borrowing. North Carolina is one of seven states without the top-level rating. The state could save up to 30 percent on construction cost as interest rates remain low and contractors are looking for

Even if the bill passes the Senate, it may have rough going this year in the House, which has drawn up a more austere budget than the Senate and may be less inclined to spend more. “I think there’s less interest in the House in capital (projects) this time than there may be in the Senate,” said House Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange. “We Want To Be Your Flower Shop”

There would also be $130 million for repairs and renovations to state and university buildings and $55 million to buy equipment for community colleges and University of North Carolina system campuses. Most GOP senators on the committee voted against the package, saying it makes no sense to borrow when the state could face a $3 billion shortfall next year.

RALEIGH (AP) — A Senate panel recommended Tuesday that North Carolina borrow $451 million for construction and equipment purchases in state government and on college campuses, with boosters arguing it’s right to incur debt despite the sour economy because it’s an inexpensive time to build. A majority on the Senate Finance Committee agreed with university leaders urging approval of the debt package, more than half of which would go to complete engineering buildings at North Carolina State University in Raleigh and North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro.

RALEIGH (AP) — Mothers who believe expanded DNA collection would have brought swifter justice for their murdered daughters faced off Tuesday against rights groups who warned against expanding databases of genetic markers. A state House judiciary committee then advanced a bill that would direct that DNA samples be collected from suspects arrested for serious crimes, rather than waiting for a conviction. The data would be destroyed if charges are dismissed or a suspect was never charged. Lawmakers are grappling with how to balance the promise of DNA tools. They are trying to tailor the good of preventing some crimes by identifying and locking up repeat offenders sooner against fears of misusing an individual’s most intimate biological identifiers. “We’re all concerned about this slippery slope that we’re getting ready to get on,” said Rep. Larry Hall, D-Durham. The federal government and nearly half the country’s states have laws allowing collection of DNA samples without waiting for proof of a suspect’s guilt. They include Alaska and Tennessee, which passed laws after suspects in high-profile slayings were identified with the help of DNA databases.
The mothers of both victims urged North Carolina lawmakers to pass similar legislation. “Fewer cases will go cold,” said Karen Foster, who now lives near Fort Lauderdale, Fla. “It will prevent so many crimes and it keeps the innocent out of jail” when DNA shows a suspect can’t be the perpetrator. Her daughter, 18-year-old Bonnie Craig, was raped and killed in 1994 after leaving the family’s Anchorage home to attend classes at the University of Alaska. Kenneth Dion was charged with the crime in 2007 and Foster said his trial is pending later this year. Dion had been serving a prison term in New Hampshire for a string of armed robberies. New Hampshire collects DNA samples from convicted criminals, but a backlog of samples meant Dion’s DNA was not taken until two years after his 2003 conviction. New Hampshire collects DNA only from those convicted of certain violent crimes. The state’s legislature is considering expanding DNA testing to all convicted felons. Joan Berry’s daughter, college student Johnia Berry of Bristol, Tenn., was stabbed to death in 2004 in Knoxville, where she planned to attend graduate school at the University of Tennessee. The 21year-old was attacked in bed
by a burglar. Berry’s parents spent 2 1/2 years publicizing their daughter’s unsolved case. A suspect who had voluntarily submitted his DNA after being charged with violating his probation was charged with Berry’s slaying. The man apparently hanged himself in jail while awaiting trial. “It’s my prayer no family will have to go through what we did,” Berry said. But spokesmen for the American Civil Liberties Union and the gun-rights group Grass Roots North Carolina warned that expanding DNA collection poses problems. The state has too often seen data lost or stolen to believe that it couldn’t happen to DNA data, said Grass Roots North Carolina spokesman John Landreth. “When you have someone’s DNA sample, that is valuable,” he said. Someone may “pay money for that.” While lawmakers have improved the bill’s protections, the ACLU believes DNA data is different from photos and fingerprints of suspects and violates the U.S. Constitution’s ban against unreasonable government searches and seizures, policy director Sarah Parker said. “It’s an end-run around the Fourth Amendment,” Parker said.

Yogurt’s Progress
www.salisburypost.com
Yogurt crosses cultures with new styles, imports BY MICHELLE LOCKE Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Every culture sees its share of trends. Even yogurt. And as yogurt hipsters know, the days of fruit-on-the-bottom and pina colada-flavored puddings are so passe. An explosion of yogurt options has given Americans bold new choices, from goat’s milk to Greekstyle to soy and even coconut milk yogurts. And have you tried the Icelandicstyle brands like siggi’s? It’s a stickto-your-ribs product that Errol Schweizer, senior global grocery coordinator for Whole Foods Market, describes as “sort of like Greek yogurt for Vikings.” Yogurt’s cultural transformation is most noticeable at upscale grocers. Atlanta copy editor Lauren Vogelbaum jokes that when a Whole Foods opened near her apartment a few years ago, “I was introduced to a new universe of yogurt.” But mainstream markets also have seen a change, as products once limited mostly to natural food stores — such as Greek-style strained yogurts and kefir (KEEfer), a drinkable, fermented dairy product — have become widely available. “There’s been a big increase in the number of yogurts and the different cultures available,” says Robert Garfield, senior vice president of public policy and international affairs for the National Yogurt Association, a nonprofit industry group based in McLean, Va. Though the recession slowed yogurt sales in 2009, especially yogurt drinks, sales of both grew 32 percent between 2004 and 2009, reaching nearly $4.1 billion in sales, according to market research company Mintel. Icelandic yogurts are dense nutrient-packed products that are so thoroughly strained they can be classified as soft cheeses. Two brands are sold in the United States — Skyr.is, imported from Iceland, and siggi’s, made in America by Siggi Hilmarsson, an immigrant from Iceland. The Skyr.is brand, available exclusively at Whole Foods, is currently available on the East Coast, as well as cities including Denver and Seattle, with plans to roll out the product in other regions this year.

The yogurt section is shown at a Whole Foods Market in San Francisco. An explosion of yogurt options has given Americans bold new choices, from goat’s milk to Greek-style to soy and even coconut milk yogurts. The brand is “just growing bigger and bigger,” says Blair Gordon, president of E&B’s Natural Way company, which is based in Frederick, Md., and imports Skyr.is. Hilmarsson’s yogurt ventures began about six years ago in New York during his first Christmas away from home. In an effort to capture a taste of home, he decided to make strained yogurt following his grandmother’s recipe. The sort of temperature control needed to produce yogurt is tough in a New York apartment, but he persevered, moving up to a professional test kitchen and eventually creating a product that caught the attention of local stores. Today, siggi’s is available nationally at Whole Foods and other chains, such as Wegmans. Yogurt, which is made by adding bacterial cultures to milk, has long been recognized as a healthy food.
(In this case, the bacteria are good for you, aiding digestion, among other things.) But sweet-toothed Americans have balked at the tangy taste of the real thing. For years, American “yogurt” was more pudding than culture. “The issue for Americans is getting used to the natural fermented flavor of the product,” Garfield says. These days the big sellers are low-fat and nonfat brands, and there’s a move toward reduced sugar, he says. A persistent issue with American yogurt has been whether you’re getting a product containing live cultures. The National Yogurt Association issues a seal to products that have a specified amount of live and active cultures. Some of the new products aren’t cheap — siggi’s, which comes in seven flavors, all nonfat — typically
runs more than $2.50 for a 6-ounce carton. Many mainstream brands, even some organic varieties, sell for less than $1. Hilmarsson notes that since his product is strained, producing a hearty yogurt that is thick and tart. He says you are getting more protein per ounce. He also pays a premium for milk from New York state farmers who don’t use hormones or antibiotics, a cost that does get passed on. Some people aren’t ready for that much yogurt attitude. Vogelbaum, who blogs about food and books at the website “Do Not Feed the Editor,” tried the orange and ginger flavor and found it to be a very intense yogurt experience in a “not delicious” way. But she thought siggi’s pomegranate and passion fruit flavor was “on the tolerable side of sour, and tasty.” On the other hand, Lauren Slay-
ton, a New York nutritionist, tried siggi’s orange and ginger and “it was love at first taste,” she said. “It’s always so nice when the product kind of reads your mind and comes out exactly as you would have designed it.” She recommends siggi’s as a post-workout snack for protein and the orange and ginger for prenatal clients. At home, she uses plain siggi’s for tuna and chicken salads as well as smoothies. Hilmarsson, who started making Icelandic yogurt partly because he was put off by sweet American yogurts, takes a tolerant view. It’s fine with him if you want to add a little honey. But, he says, don’t be afraid of the tart. He often gets e-mails saying, “Hey, Siggi. Your yogurt — it was a mouthful at first; it was very tart, but now I can’t eat anything else. Everything else tasted too sweet to me.”
A healthy summer soup BY JIM ROMANOFF Associated Press

Chilled zucchini and green bean soup with a pesto swirl.
The perfect bowl of soup makes a satisfying meal that’s filling, yet low in calories and high in nutrition. But in the heat of summer, most people give it a pass. But this recipe for chilled zucchini and green bean soup with a pesto swirl could change your mind about soup in summer. Sauteed zucchini and sweet onions are simmered with two kinds of beans, then pureed into a soup that’s creamy without being fatty. A swirl of store-bought basil pesto and a dollop of reduced-fat sour cream provide a luxurious finish. The soup can be served at room temperature or chilled, so it makes a nice cooling lunch or entree on a hot summer evening. Plus, this recipe makes a good template for what a healthy soup should be: based on a reduced sodium broth and packed with low-calorie, nutritious and filling vegetables. Using beans, such as the edamame in this soup, provides an added bonus of hunger-satisfying protein and dietary fiber. Beans make an excellent base for soups that will seem rich. Combine them with a bit of broth or water, and puree to get velvety smooth results. If you like, use convenient canned beans, but be sure to rinse them under cold water to wash away some of the salt that is in the canning liquid. To complete the meal, serve this soup with a salad and some crunchy whole-grain pita chips or breadsticks.
Chilled Zucchini and Green Bean Soup with a Pesto Swirl Start to finish: 1 hour (15 minutes active) Servings: 6 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil 1 small sweet onion, chopped 1 pound zucchini, ends trimmed and thinly sliced 4 C. reduced-sodium chicken broth 10-ounce package frozen shelled edamame 1 ⁄2 pound green beans, ends trimmed 1 ⁄2 tsp. salt, or to taste 1 ⁄4 tsp. ground white pepper, or to taste 1 ⁄4 C. store-bought basil pesto 1 ⁄2 C. reduced-fat sour cream (optional) In a large saucepan over medium-high, heat the oil.

Stir in edamame and green beans and simmer, uncovered, until the vegetables are soft, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool for 15 minutes. Transfer the soup, in batches if necessary, to a blender or food processor. Puree, then season with salt and pepper. Serve soup chilled or at room temperature.

ous. The memory of Maria plagues the pure Nestor Castillo, and it’s about her that he writes the song that briefly makes him and his brother famous. Melancholy Nestor and beautiful Maria had great sex and lots of it. But she led him on, rejected him and may be to blame for worse. Even on the ride to Havana to find her future, the teenage Maria gets credit for a man’s frustration. For the driver who picks her up, a pig hauler with a big heart and a “gargoyle” face, it’s an achievement to leave her virginity intact. But the emotions and the depth of character that might have occupied another novelist, especially a woman, weren’t on the bill Hijuelos set out to fill. Instead, Hijuelos is imagining what all Cubans must have longed for, even decades after they fled the harsh realities that befell their island when Castro took power. “Beautiful Maria of My Soul” is an evocative love note to a nation that may never have existed — as well as a woman.

Hijuelos writes ‘Mambo Kings’ back story “Beautiful Maria of My Soul” by Oscar Hijuelos (Hyperion, 338 pages, $25.99): Oscar Hijuelos’ prequel to his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, “The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love,” starts out innocently enough. Actually, it ends innocently, too. And most of what’s in between is a meditation on innocence. The innocence of Cuba before Fidel Castro, the innocence of a melancholy musician’s soul and the innocence of a teenage girl who grew up poor and neglected and mostly alone. But the novel is less a narrative than a lyrical incantation to sex. Intoned against the backdrop of pre-revolutionary Havana’s famous beaches and infamous nightlife, it retraces the life of the voluptuous Maria of the title. We suspect even as she leaves the rural valley where she was raised, a hollow with no schools or plumbing, that she will be a heartbreaker. It’s inevitable because of the task Hijuelos set for himself, to tell the back story of a character whose role in the Mambo Kings is unambigu-

Dear Amy: Please address the dangers of emotional affairs in your column, especially between people who work together. I have been living through that hell with my husband, who has a female “friend” at work. Yesterday, I talked to her husband. We both agree that our spouses’ relationship is inappropriate. People we all know consider this relationship unhealthy. It is like they are addicted to each other and neither is choosing to make it stop. It started out innocently two years ago. They started hiking together outside of the office. It seemed OK at the time. But by last spring, my husband was deleting phone records and text messages from his phone before I could see them. He started hiding his phone, sometimes sleeping with his phone so I couldn’t see it. When I finally looked up the phone records, there were hundreds of phone calls and text messages between them. We are in counseling; his phone and phone records are available to me at any time. I told him he could only see her at work. So now, they get coffee together every day. They visit in each other’s offices every day. People at work are talking. They could lose their jobs. He flat out refuses to stop being her friend because it isn’t an affair. They both say they’re “just friends” and the husband and I are at our wits’ end. — Worried Wife
Dear Worried: Workplace relationships can easily turn into emotional (and physical) affairs. Technology has made it easier to maintain the connection — and keep it secret. Judging from the content of my mailbag, emotional affairs are an increasing problem. The prevailing response for couples trying to recover from an emotional affair is what your therapist is suggesting — total transparency. But transparency doesn’t achieve its intended goal if the relationship continues, exclusive of the marriage. Your husband and his “friend” should not have any personal contact. Continuing to spend time together at work has simply changed the location of their focus.

Dear Creeped: You should consider your brother-inlaw’s behavior predatory. The only access he should have to family members is if they initiate it. You should get caller ID for your mother’s phone and tell her to check it for all incoming calls. She should not take any calls from numbers she doesn’t recognize and should not accept any collect calls. She should not open mail from him but should give it to his wife. She has already asked your brother-in-law to stop contacting her and he does not respect her wishes. No doubt he has identified her as a soft touch. I realize this is challenging, but the safest course is to consider this person a danger to your family. Your mother should not respond to any contact from him and should never facilitate him
contacting other people. If this is a continuing problem, contact the prosecutor who worked his case or ask for guidance from the office of the warden at the facility where he is incarcerated.

She has written to him saying that ASK she would AMY rather not be a go-between between him and my sister, but he has ignored her request and has even asked for other family members’ addresses so he can send correspondence, birthday cards, etc. My other sisters and I would rather not speak with him and would like for him to stop contacting our mother. She doesn’t know how else to tell him to stop calling and writing. — Creeped Out

This week at the Farmers Market you will see a lot more locally grown produce. It is the time of year for cucumbers and squash to be front and center, and you can acquire these from any of the farmers there. Growers Steve and Sue Eagle of Eagle Produce are very popular with market patrons. Each year they plant several acres of cucumbers, squash, zucchini, green beans, peas, several varieties of peppers about 15 varieties of tomatoes, Sue says. In order to have the produce patrons seem to want the most, the Eagles stagger the plantings so that they can provide us with fresh offerings all summer. They will have three or four cycles of most everything they grow. The old saying goes “you are never too old to learn,” and this is very true. Last year I learned that there are com-
mercial bee keepers that rent hives of bees to farmers to use in fields with crops that require bees to cross pollinate in order for the plants to be productive. I asked the Eagles if they subscribed to this practice and discovered that their farm has been leasing hives for about 10 years. It was very interesting to learn that the crop yield for the Eagle Farm is about 35 percent greater now than before using the rented hives. The Eagle farm has been in the family for four generations. Steve and Sue have one son and one granddaughter. I, for one, hope their land remains a family farm and provides many generations to come with fresh produce. I applaud Sue and Steve for their contribution to our community. This coming Saturday there will be a cooking demonstration at the market offered by Dennis Sipp. He will use locally grown produce from the market vendors for his culi-

MAINTENANCE ISSUES AT RCCC
In need of repair
I
t’s a basic lesson that every homeowner eventually learns: Delaying critical maintenance inevitably means a higher repair bill in the long run. Problems worsen. Prices increase. Suddenly, instead of looking at a leaky roof, you’ve got ruined insulation and damaged ceiling tiles to replace as well. The same holds true for institutional structures, as officials at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College know only too well. Some North Campus facilities are now passing the 30- and 40-year-old mark, and their age is showing, especially when exacerbated by the snow and ice of a hard winter. An article in Sunday’s Salisbury Post described some of the resulting maintenance problems: A deteriorating elevated walkway that connects classroom buildings; an outdated elevator that’s inadequate to serve today’s student body; leaky roofs; dilapidated stairs; a boiler that’s past its typical life span. In the article and in a separate meeting with the Post’s editorial board, Dr. Carol Spalding, president of the college, and other RCCC leaders talked about the maintenance backlog they’re facing and the challenge of paying for it. Part of their message was that these maintenance issues have accrued in part because the lean economic times of recent years have made it necessary to constrain budget requests and defer repairs and renovations. Meanwhile, along with more deterioration, the passing years have brought a huge increase in the number of students strolling across walkways, climbing and descending stairs and using elevators. RCCC is now the ninth largest community college in the state system, and the second-fastest growing. Unfortunately, its allocation of resources hasn’t kept. A comparison of local funding shows that RCCC ranks 42nd out of 58 community colleges in terms of the local funding per full-time student. In all, college officials are asking the county commission for a non-recurring appropriation of about $3.8 million to address capital needs for renovations and repairs. That’s compared to a current proposed appropriation of $260,130 in the county budget, the same as last year. That’s a huge gap that looks even wider in a year when both state and local officials are looking at cutbacks across many areas of spending. RCCC officials acknowledge the economic realities. But crumbling concrete and those leaky roofs are a reality, too. Under the state’s funding structure, the county is responsible for building upkeep, and short of a bond referendum similar to the one N.C. voters approved a decade ago, RCCC has few other options. RCCC is a vital resource for the community, and there should be no doubt that these capital needs must be addressed. The only question is how much the county can and will currently commit — and how much work will have to be put off once more, adding to future repair bills.

SALISBURY POST
nce in a while, I discover a book that makes a difference. I recently read such a gem, Paul Loeb’s “Soul of a Citizen: Living with Conviction in Challenging Times.” Loeb recently spoke with me by telephone from his home in Seattle. “Soul” is the result of 35 years of Loeb’s work examining the psychology of social involvement. It shows how ordinary citizens can do extraordinary things by making their voices heard and by making their actions count in a time when apparent hopelessness is all around. “Soul” examines how people get involved in larger community issues for social change, and it shows what stops people from getting involved and what makes BILL give up. MAXWELL them Take the example of Virginia Tech student Angie De Soto, who was the poster child for apathy. She was so uninvolved in events around her that she spent the night of the 2004 election chugalugging instead of voting. Later, after becoming outraged over assaults on the environment, she became interested in global climate change and created a groundbreaking environmental sustainability plan. We are taught that a successful democracy needs an educated electorate. Loeb takes it a step further, suggesting that more than education is needed. “In the personal realm, most Americans are thoughtful, caring, generous,” he writes. “We do our best by family and friends. At times we’ll even stop to help another driver stranded by a roadside breakdown, or give some spare change to a stranger. But too often, a wall separates
each of us from the world outside, and from others who have likewise taken refuge in their own private sanctuaries — what we call the gated community of the heart. “We’ve all but forgotten that public participation is the very soul of democratic citizenship, and that it can profoundly enrich our lives.” Loeb contends that many people do not get involved in causes and issues because they believe that they must be experts or must be as eloquent as Gandhi or the Rev. Martin Luther King. He points out that
“... Public participation is the very soul of democratic citizenship.” PAUL LOEB
Author, ‘Soul of a Citizen’
Gandhi himself said that engagement does not require perfection. Early in his career as a lawyer and long before he became famous, Gandhi was so shy that he could not utter a sentence when he argued for his clients in court. He lost all of his cases. After Gandhi discovered the right causes and got engaged, he found his voice, and, well, the rest is history. People should not be impulsive when they get involved, Loeb writes. Instead, they should identify worthy groups that take on worthy issues and then get involved. He says that people need to believe that individual involvement is worthwhile and that what they might do in the public sphere will have positive results. As many ordinary people who have been tempted to get socially engaged
know, obstacles — some physical, some psychological, some spiritual — are everywhere. Those who press forward do so, in part, by mustering the courage to confront reality. “If we’re to heal our society and heal our souls — which, in my view, go handin-hand — we need to understand our cultural diseases of callousness, shortsightedness, and denial of difficult challenges,” Loeb writes. “But even more fundamentally, we need to acknowledge and confront the pervasive sense of powerlessness that afflicts our society.” Of all of the books I have read in recent years about citizen engagement, “Soul” is free of the jargon and the selfrighteousness common to so many books of this kind. It truly is, as the publisher states, “an antidote to political demoralization, paralysis, and powerlessness.” The original edition of the book was published 10 years ago and sold nearly 100,000 copies. Loeb revised it, he said, after receiving thousands of e-mails from people who had been inspired to act in their communities after reading it. Social activists, veteran organizations, individuals and others who want to make a difference in their communities use “Soul” as their handbook. Many colleges and universities nationwide assign the book to their first-year students. “Soul” inspires people to act and to take a stand. “When we do take a stand,” Loeb writes, “we grow psychologically and spiritually.” I recommend this book to people who care about their communities and who want to live with conviction during these turbulent times. • • • Bill Maxwell is a columnist for the St. Petersburg Times.

An extraordinary moment on Salisbury sidewalk
EDITOR Letters policy
Sometimes one is privileged to experience a moment that transports you out of your day, takes your breath away and gives you a teensy glimpse of what heaven must be like. I experienced one such moment this past week. While in the process of preparing for our regular Friday night festivities here at The Blue Vine, my husband, Chris beckoned for me to join him outside on the sidewalk. As I exited our shop, my ears were bathed with the sweet strains of a saxophone wafting on the breeze out over our block of South Main Street. Folks strolling by stopped, looked around and then up toward an open window on the third floor of the Meroney Theater. Everyone passing by paused, each face alight with wonder as we listened to an unseen musician sending his magic out to us through the air. Every note was pure, sweet, mellow, sending us “Over the Rainbow,” just as surely as Dorothy ever was. There was a breathless moment as the last note echoed and faded away and we all burst into spontaneous applause for the unknown artist who had just transformed these brief moments in our day into the extraordinary! We hooted and hollered and clapped like crazy, and the surprised face of a young man appeared at the window, grinning self-consciously. Folks waved their thanks and began drifting away, smiles wreathing each face. I later found out that the young man was in the orchestra for the Piedmont Players Theater’s production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” at the new Norvell Theater and that he’d found the perfect place to warm up prior to the show. I’d like to thank this talented young man, Perrell Brown, for lifting us up through your music. You really made our day. Thank you! — Rose Meeks Jones Salisbury

Since the year 2000, there have been more than 35 accidents there, costing citizens of Rowan County thousands of dollars in damages and hospital bills.

More on celiac symptoms I hope the May 26 article about going gluten free helped some people to consider this disease as a possible cause for their health issues. One of the quotes in the article was not correct, however, and I believe it deems mentioning. It was written that my son, Asa, had symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea and queasiness. The fact is, he did not have ANY of those. This is exactly one of the reasons the disease can be hard to pinpoint. Consequently, there was never any “misdiagnosis.” Please ask your readers to consider the fact that you do not need those symptoms present in order to have this disorder. There are websites like the Celiac Sprue Association which can relate reliable information about this often misdiagnosed disease. The good news is that there are many products available locally and on the Internet and restaurants that offer options. I hope your readers find this encouraging! — Susanna Hollingsworth Salisbury

orth Carolina shares a dubious distinction with Alabama, Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. It is one of only five legal jurisdictions in the U.S. that recognize contributory negligence. That term means that when a person is in an accident that is overwhelmingly not his or her fault, that person cannot recover damages in a suit if it is found he or she in any small way might have contributed to the accident. That’s why insurance companies love it. It gets them off the hook if one of their clients is at fault but can show that the other person, the victim, might have been even a little bit negligent. The insurance industry is campaigning hard to preserve contributory negligence in North Carolina, as it fears a state Housepassed bill that would institute another system in courts known as comparative fault. Under that system, victims could recover damages even if they were slightly to blame. They might not get what they would recover if they had been totally in the clear, but they could get something, depending on how the fault was allocated. Insurers are arguing that the change would cost consumers. They’d have to raise premiums, don’t you know, if they were exposed to awarding more damages. Better to keep a bad system that protects them in place. Lawmakers should not be fooled and state senators should not bow to the interests of an industry against consumers. They haven’t everywhere, as evidenced by the fact that overwhelmingly, other states recognize the good sense of comparative fault. Give the insurance lobby this: It has successfully fought off a more enlightened policy virtually forever. It has kept North Carolina in that tiny minority while managing to keep consumers at a disadvantage, all the while telling them the current policy is for their own good. It’s time to quit buying the bad policy the industry has been selling.

U.S. attorney general opens criminal, civil probes to investigate nation’s worst oil spill
Israel, Egypt easing blockade on Gaza JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel and Egypt signaled a temporary easing of the Gaza Strip blockade Tuesday following harsh international condemnation of the deadly Israeli raid on an aid flotilla en route to the sealed-off Palestinian territory. Egypt said it was freely opening its border with Gaza for the first time in more than a year to allow in humanitarian aid, setting off a mad rush to the crossing by thousands of residents, while an Israeli official said there is an “ongoing dialogue” with the international community on how to expand the amount of goods entering the area. At the same time, Israel began expelling some of the nearly 700 activists it rounded up in the naval raid, and strongly rejected criticism of its heavy-handed tactics. The government said late Tuesday it would deport almost all of them within the next two days, but about 50 would be held for investigation into their part in the violence on at sea. Israel pledged to halt a new attempt by pro-Palestinian groups to sail more ships into Gaza, and claimed some of the arrested activists carried weapons and large quantities of cash, raising questions about whether they were mercenaries. Worldwide condemnation has been flooding in since Israeli naval commandos halted the aid flotilla in international waters overnight Monday, setting off a melee that left nine activists dead and dozens wounded. Turkey, an unofficial backer of the flotilla, has led the criticism, accusing Israel of committing a “massacre,” and the U.N. Security Council demanded an impartial investigation.
and careful consideration.” Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider confirmed the statement came from the Gores, but declined to comment further. The Gores were telling friends they “grew apart” after 40 years of marriage and there was no affair involved, according to two longtime close associates and family friends, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because it was a personal matter. The associates said the Gores, over time, had carved out separate lives, with the former vice president on the road frequently. One of the associates said: “Their lives had gotten more and more separated.”
Al-Qaida announces death of its No. 3; U.S. says missile strike WASHINGTON (AP) — AlQaida announced Monday that its No. 3 official, Mustafa al-Yazid, had been killed along with members of his family — perhaps one of the most severe blows to the terror movement since the U.S. campaign against al-Qaida began. A U.S. official said al-Yazid was believed to have died in a U.S. missile strike. A statement posted on an al-Qaida website said alYazid, which it described as the organization’s top commander in Afghanistan, was killed along with his wife, three daughters, a grandchild and other men, women and children but did not say how or where. The statement did not give an exact date for al-Yazid’s death, but it was dated by the Islamic calendar month of “Jemadi al-Akhar,” which falls in May. A U.S. official in Washington said word was “spreading in extremist circles” of his death in Pakistan’s tribal areas in the past two weeks. His death would be a major blow to al-Qaida, which in December “lost both its internal and external operations chiefs,” the official said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information.
Death toll from Tropical Storm Agatha climbs to 179 GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — Rural villagers used hoes and pick axes to hunt for victims of landslides that have killed at least 179 people in Central America while officials in Guatemala’s capital tried to cope with a vast sinkhole that swallowed a clothing factory. Thousands remained homeless and dozens still missing following the season’s first tropical storm. Rescue crews struggled to reach isolated communities to distribute food and water. “This is a total tragedy,” said Jose Vicente Samayoa, president of a neighborhood group in Amatitlan, a flooded town south of Guatemala’s capital. Officials in Guatemala reported 152 dead but said 100 people were still missing. In the department of Chimaltenango — a province west of Guatemala City — landslides buried rural Indian communities and killed at least 60 people. Curious onlookers also gathered at a massive sinkhole that swallowed an entire intersection in Guatemala City over the weekend, gulping down a clothing factory but causing no deaths or injuries.
Al Gore to separate from wife Tipper after Suspect must speak 40 years of marriage up to claim right to remain silent
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, are separating after 40 years of marriage that included a White House run when their sunny relationship offered a counterpoint to President Bill Clinton’s philandering. According to an e-mail circulated among the couple’s associates Tuesday, the Gores said it was “a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long
WASHINGTON (AP) — Want to invoke your right to remain silent? You’ll have to speak up. In a narrowly split decision, the Supreme Court’s conservative majority expanded its limits on the famous Miranda rights for criminal suspects Tuesday — over the dissent of new Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who said the ruling turned Americans’ rights of protection from police abuse “upside
down.” Justice Anthony Kennedy, who wrote the majority opinion, said a suspect who goes ahead and talks to police after being informed he doesn’t have to has waived his right to remain silent. Elena Kagan, who has been nominated by President Barack Obama to join the court, sided with the police as U.S. solicitor general when the case came before the court. She would replace Justice John Paul Stevens, one of the dissenters. A right to remain silent and a right to a lawyer are at the top of the warnings that police recite to suspects during arrests and interrogations. But Tuesday’s majority said that suspects must break their silence and tell police they are going to remain quiet to stop an interrogation, just as they must tell police that they want a lawyer. This decision means that police can keep shooting questions at a suspect who refuses to talk as long as they want in hopes that the person will crack and give them some information, said Richard Friedman, a University of Michigan law professor.
shoot. Wearing a demure, loose black dress and a sometimes weary expression, the actress gave jurors a clipped, subdued account of returning from filming to find her $2,000 Balenciaga handbag gone from a SoHo Grand Hotel penthouse suite. Her assistant’s bag and costar Simon Pegg’s cell phone and other possessions also were taken from the room, which was being used as an actors’ lounge while the 2008 comedy “How to Lose Friends & Alienate People” was shot downstairs. “All our belongings were gone. I thought that my assistant had taken them and put them somewhere else, but everything was gone,” Dunst testified. Inside the bag were her wallet, credit and other cards, vintage Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses and $2,000 in cash, she said.

FBI dubs elusive bank robber as the ‘Granddad Bandit’ ST. LOUIS (AP) — A bald, heavyset man who has robbed 21 banks in the eastern and central U.S. is proving to be so elusive that the FBI has given him a name — the “Granddad Bandit” — and the agency announced plans Tuesday to post a digital picture of him on billboards in several states in hopes of catching him. The man, who is believed to be 50 to 60 years old, is suspected in 21 bank robberies in 12 states, the most recent on May 18 at a Regions Bank branch in St. Louis County, the FBI said. To catch him, the FBI has partnered with outdoor advertisers on a digital billboard campaign displaying a surveillance picture of the robber. The FBI describes the suspect as about 6 feet tall, white, bald and heavy. Along with Missouri, he is wanted in: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas, Florida, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Virginia. “It’s not that the individual can’t be caught,” Lowe said of the robber who has so far escaped capture for a year-anda-half. “The right person hasn’t seen this picture yet. He has to sleep somewhere. He has to eat somewhere. He has family somewhere.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — “Top kill” didn’t stop the Gulf oil spill. How about something “titanic”? Federal officials are hoping film director James Cameron can help them come up with ideas on how to stop the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The “Avatar” and “Titanic” director was among a group of scientists and other experts who met Tuesday with officials from the Environmental Protection Agency and other federal agencies for a brainstorming session on stopping the massive oil leak. The Canadian-born Cameron is considered an expert on underwater filming and remote vehicle technologies. “Avatar” and “Titanic” are the two highest-grossing films of all time.

PORT FOURCHON, La. (AP) — Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday that federal authorities have opened criminal and civil investigations into the nation’s worst oil spill, and BP lost billions in market value when shares dropped in the first trading day since the company failed yet again to plug the gusher. Investors presumably realized the best chance to stop the leak was months away and there was no end in sight to the cleanup. As BP settled in for the long-term, Holder announced the criminal probe, though he would not specify the companies or individuals that might be targeted. “We will closely examine the actions of those involved in the spill. If we find evidence of illegal behavior, we will be extremely forceful in our response,” Holder said in New Orleans. With the ambitious “top kill” abandoned over the weekend, BP’s hope to stanch the leak lies with two relief wells that won’t be finished until at least August. The company is, however, trying another risky temporary fix to contain the oil and siphon it to the surface by sawing through the leaking pipe and putting a cap over the spill. Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the national incident commander, said Tuesday that BP was making its first major cut with super shears that weigh 46,000 pounds and resemble a giant garden tool. The company will also use a powerful diamond-edged cutter that resembles a deli slicer to try to make a clean cut above the blowout preventer, then will lower a cap over it with a rubber seal.

Blue Devil seniors find closure BY JOEDY MCCREARY Associated Press
DURHAM — After scoring the goal that won Duke its first lacrosse championship, C.J. Costabile emerged from the on-field pile and saw senior Tom Clute. “He’s not an emotional guy, and to see a tear in his eye and just kind of a look of relief, like, ’We finally did it,’ I almost broke down,” Costabile said Tuesday. Clute and the rest of the upperclassmen had good reason for getting choked up. ASSOCIATED PRESS They finally had some closure.

Irish offer Noble Keeping up with spring football ... OUNT ULLA — Domonique Noble has lived the recruiting dream since West Rowan defeated Eastern Alamance to win its second straight 3A state championship back in December. Practically all of the big names have contacted the 6-foot-2, 185-pound defensive back. On RONNIE Tuesday, GALLAGHER one of the biggest college football traditions of all — Notre Dame — became the 17th school to offer Noble. “I understand it’s a big scholarship,” Noble said. “Not a lot of people get that.” With the school year ending next week, West’s talented junior has started trimming NOBLE the number of contenders for his services. And of course, Notre Dame is on that final list. Along with the Irish, Noble said N.C. State, Georgia Tech, Virginia, Wake Forest and Penn State are his finalists. He said there is to timetable to commit. “You always have in the back of your mind that there’s somebody else they’re offering,” Noble said. “It’s all about who decides to commit first.” • Noble was already on the national radar, but his two-interception day in the 28-21 state title game just raised his stock even more. West Rowan coach Scott Young said his star has taken it all in stride. “Domonique is a levelheaded kid,” Young praised. “It hasn’t changed his work ethic. As a matter of fact, a lot of times, when a kid starts getting this heavy interest and they know everyone is interested in them, it actually helps them work better. Domonique has taken it like that.” Noble agreed, saying, “I feel I need to work harder.”

Incredible lows. ... But to go out this way, I’m so pumped for myself, so pumped for (classmates) Max (Quinzani) and (Terrence Molinari), because we did have a difficult decision to make, and we made the right one.” Costabile did his part to help send the seniors out on top.
Duke won the school’s first NCAA championship in men’s lacrosse earlier this week by beating Notre Dame 6-5 in sudden-death overtime on Costabile’s goal 5 seconds into the extra session. From an on-the-field perspective, the Blue Devils can savor this title because it meant they’ve finally broken through their most frustrating stumbling block, having reached the title game twice before but losing both times to perennial nemesis Johns Hopkins in 2005 and ’07. What happened during the year in between made it even more significant. In a salacious case that dominated headlines for months, a woman hired to

Times set for East Rowan baseball, softball teams Staff report
The start times for state championship action involving East Rowan’s baseball and softball teams have been finalized by the NCHSAA. The best-of-three championship baseball series pitting East (29-2) against Wilson Hunt (26-5) will be played at Five County Stadium in Zebulon. Game 1, with East as the home team, is scheduled for 8 p.m. on Friday. It will follow a 1A opener between Dixon (24-5) and
West Wilkes (21-11) that starts at 5 p.m. Game 2 of the 3A finals, with Hunt as the home team, is slated for 2 p.m. on Saturday. A third game, if necessary, would be played at either 8 p.m. (if there’s a third game in 1A) or 5 p.m. (if there’s a sweep in 1A). The softball Final Four will be contested at Walnut Creek in Raleigh. East (24-1), Crest (23-1), Southwestern Randolph (22-4) and South Johnson (22-8) are still alive in the 3A bracket. Opening-round games in the double-
elimination event begin at 5 p.m. on Friday. East plays Crest in the Western final on Field 3. The winner of that game will face the SW Randolph-South Johnston winner on Field 3 at 7:30 p.m. the same night. The losers of the 5 p.m. games will face off in an elimination contest at 7:30 p.m. on Field 4. The losers bracket final is scheduled for 11 a.m. on Saturday, and the championship round begins at 1:30 p.m. A second title game, if necessary, would be held at 4 p.m.
Oden will run for USC Upstate BY BRET STRELOW
bstrelow@salisburypost.com
East Rowan coach Rick Roseman tried to convince the long-legged freshman in his geometry class to run cross country. Ross Oden’s response: “I don’t do distance.” Oden, who is headed to USC Upstate in Spartanburg, S.C., will keep doing distance following a fine cross country and track career at East. USC Upstate coach Jimmy Stephens took notice when Oden ran a 16:49 at the Wendy’s Invitational in early October. The 3A Midwest Regional was also held at McAlpine Park in Charlotte, and Oden helped East’s team
qualify for the state meet by placing third individually. His time of 16:28 is the best by an ODEN East runner on that well-known 5K course. Stephens was the director of track and field operations at Alabama before becoming the head coach at USC Upstate, a Division I school that competes in the Atlantic Sun Conference. “He’s got some guys that are really good, and hopefully he can get me there,” Oden said.
Oden, who didn’t run cross country as a freshman, made the all-county team three times and the all-conference squad twice. He claimed first in the county meet as a junior. This year in track, he was the county champion in the 3,200 meters and the NPC champion in the 1,600. Oden is ranked third academically in East’s senior class, and he names team accomplishments when listing his career highlights. North Rowan’s boys had won 18 of 19 county track titles, including six in a row, before East broke through during Oden’s freshman year to earn a “steak and taters” dinner from Roseman. The Mustangs have won each of the
last four county meets. Each member of East’s top seven made the 14-person allNPC cross country team this past season, and Oden helped the Mustangs tie A.L. Brown’s boys track team for first place in the 3A Midwest Regional held at East last month. “He did whatever we needed him to do as an individual,” Roseman said. “He’s just typical in track of all of our kids, just trying to squeeze points anywhere he could squeeze points out. There’s certain highlights that stand out, and I’m telling you, winning the county in track his freshman year, that was amazing.” It was just the start of a stellar four years for someone with a distaste for distance.
PITTSBURGH — A slimmed-down Ben Roethlisberger whistled practice passes to his receivers for the first time in five weeks, and a teammate didn’t need to watch video tape to know what he’d just seen. “He’s b e e n working hard at home,” defensive end Brett Keisel said. “He wants to be great ROETHLISBERGER this year. So, hopefully, he will.” Even if considerable repair work needs to be done, on the field and off it. The two-time Super Bowl champion quarterback didn’t talk to reporters after practicing Tuesday for the first time since drawing a six-game suspension April 21 for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. The penalty resulted from a Georgia college student’s allegation that Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her in a nightclub, and though he does not face criminal charges in the case, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the quarterback’s drinking and carousing failed to meet the league’s expectations for player behavior. Roethlisberger took part in voluntary practices April 19 and 20, but was barred from working out again until he underwent a league-ordered behavioral evaluation and was cleared by Goodell to resume team activities. The commissioner still hasn’t decided if Roethlisberger’s suspension will be reduced to four games. The consensus among Roethlisberger’s teammates: Good to have him back, now let’s move on — even if they realize that can’t possibly happen for months. “We’re all trying to get over this. I think we’re all already over this, we want to get ready for the season,” said lineman Willie Colon, the only Steelers teammate known to have been with Roethlisberger the night of the incident in Georgia back in early March. “We’ve got a lot of people we got to knock down. Our focus is being world champs again, and that’s where we’re all headed to.” Roethlisberger, wearing a white No. 7 jersey atop a yellow practice shirt, took all the snaps with the starters during the 90minute practice, partly because Byron Leftwich had

Lakers, Celtics to meet for 12th time BY GREG BEACHAM Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Phil Jackson knows the story by heart, even if his players only seem interested in the last two chapters. Their coach is steeped in the history of pro basketball’s most compelling rivalry, familiar with every twist in the Boston Celtics’ halfcentury of championship clashes with the Los Angeles Lakers. Jackson doesn’t mind that almost everybody playing in the franchises’ 12th NBA finals meeting, starting Thursday night at Staples Center, doesn’t have much
of a grasp on the history sewn into the uniforms they wear. So what if the deep-seated hatred between the franchises’ fans doesn’t seem to be truly savored by nearly anybody except Paul Pierce, the Los Angeles native turned Celtics star? “That rivalry is renewed ... it seems like every 20 years, and now here it is,” Jackson said. “This is our second time going back at them. It’s one that I think piques the interest of the fans of basketball.” Notice he didn’t mention the players’ interest. In the age of easy team-swapping, $100 million
contracts and offseason Vegas partying with bitter in-season opponents, there’s not much actual malice to be found between these Lakers and these Celtics. “It’s not a personal thing,” Celtics forward Kevin Garnett said before the Celtics practiced at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion on Tuesday. “They’re a great team, we’re a great team. We’re both trying to get to the same goal.” The clubs are meeting in the finals for the second time in three seasons, and the winner will walk away with the franchises’ 33rd combined title. That’s more than half of the championships in NBA history.
LeBron to appear on ‘Larry King Live’ Associated Press
CLEVELAND — One month from the start of the NBA’s free agency frenzy, LeBron James has handicapped his field of suitors. The Cleveland Cavaliers lead the pack. In his first interview since the Cavs’ season ended with a shocking, second-round loss to Boston, James told CNN’s Larry King that Cleveland has “an edge” to re-sign him when the greatest collection of free agents in league history hits the open market on July 1. King, who interviewed James at the two-time MVP’s home near Akron, asked the superstar if
Cleveland has “an edge going in?” “Absolutely,” James said in a portion of the interview released by the network. “Because, you know, this city, these fans, I mean, have given me a lot in these seven years. And, you know, for me, it’s comfortable. So I’ve got a lot of memories here. And so it does have an edge.” The interview will air Friday on CNN’s “Larry King Live,” capping the program’s 25th anniversary celebration on the network. WADE MIAMI — With a broad smile after the deals were announced, Dwyane Wade celebrated after settling four cases with various

Philadelphia not in panic mode down 2-0 BY IRA PODELL Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Stop me if you’ve heard this before: the Philadelphia Flyers’ Stanley Cup championship hopes are in big trouble. Concern has again enveloped the growing legion of hockey fans who have embraced the orange and black during this most unexpected roller-coaster ride through the NHL playoffs. While the City of Brotherly Love — with its fatalistic attitude toward its sports teams — is worried as the Flyers return following a pair of road losses to the Chicago Blackhawks, there seems to be no reason to panic. After all, this team has been down and nearly all the way out several times along the way and still managed to survive and ad-
vance. And Games 3 and 4 will be played today and Friday in Philadelphia, where the Flyers are 7-1 in these playoffs. That’s one of the only stats currently in the Flyers’ favor. “We’re glad that we’re back home now,” forward Simon Gagne said Tuesday. “Sure, we’re not really happy the way things went in Chicago. We’re down 2-0. “We’ve been there before. We’ve been down 2-0, even 3-0. So it’s not like it’s a new situation for us.” Like a Tony Gwynn or Don Mattingly, who always seemed comfortable at the plate with two strikes against them, the Flyers appear to thrive on the do-or-die pressure. By now they are quite used to it. The Flyers, at least outwardly, show no signs of fear even
though only two of 33 teams to lose the first two games of the Stanley Cup finals on the road have rallied to capture the championship. Chicago is also 7-1 away from home in the playoffs. “The Blackhawks did what they were supposed to do and they defended home ice,” defenseman Chris Pronger said. “Now it’s up to us to do the same thing. “Although many of you folk might not give us much of a chance, we’re not too worried about what you guys think. We’re worried about what we think in the locker room. We think we can win.” The Blackhawks came out on the short end after grabbing a 2-0 lead at home in 1971 against Montreal. Last year, Pittsburgh recovered from 2-0 and 3-2 holes to claim the Cup in a rematch with Detroit.

Pains diagnosed as esophageal spasms SANDESTIN, Fla. — Florida coach Urban Meyer is taking medication, feeling “fantastic” and hoping his chest pain is history. Speaking at the SEC’s annual spring meetings Tuesday, Meyer said doctors have diagnosed the chest pain that bothered him the last three years as esophageal spasms. Although he declined to discuss his health in further detail, he said he is taking medication and that his heart is completely healthy. “The biggest thing is I wanted to find out what those darn chest pains were and I did,” Meyer said. “It’s esophageal spasms and they’ve got me on some medications. I’ve just got to be smarter in the future and I’m going to be. I’m not going to let that happen again. “But the biggest thing was all that was related to what the heck were those pains going through my chest. Once you find out what it is, life gets a little better quickly.” Meyer briefly resigned in late December, citing health concerns three weeks after he was rushed to a hospital with chest pain. He changed his mind the following day and instead decided to take a leave of absence following Florida’s bowl game. Meyer said the diagnosis came in January and he’s been pain free since. Esophageal spasms often cause chest pain that can be confused for angina, causing the fear of a heart problem if undiagnosed. Symptoms can also include difficulty swallowing, the feeling that your throat is obstructed and a burning sensation. Meyer said this was the first offseason in which he stepped away for days at a time, leaving offensive coordinator Steve Addazio in charge. “I feel fantastic,” said Meyer, who will turn 46 next month. • LUBBOCK, Texas — A judge says former football coach Mike Leach’s lawsuit over his firing from Texas Tech can move forward. State District Judge William C. Sowder on Tuesday struck down Texas Tech’s claim of sovereign immunity from the lawsuit. The judge says Tech waived its immunity by its conduct. The university fired Leach on Dec. 30, two days
after it suspended him amid allegations he mistreated a player with a concussion. Leach has denied mistreating Adam James and suspects an $800,000 bonus he was to have received Dec. 31 was the reason he was fired. James has said his coach twice ordered him to stand for hours while confined in a dark place during practice. Leach’s lawsuit included claims of slander, libel and breach of contract.
NASCAR
MOORESVILLE — Red Bull Racing on Tuesday swapped the crew chiefs and key team members for drivers Scott Speed and Casey Mears, a move designed to try new personnel pairings during Brian Vickers’ absence. Vickers will miss the rest of the season while undergoing treatment on blood clots in his lungs and legs, and Mears has been filling in for him. The swap comes two days after Mears and Speed finished 29th and 30th in the Coca-Cola 600, and it reunites Mears with crew chief Jimmy Elledge. The two were paired together when both worked for Chip Ganassi Racing.

Federer upset Associated Press
PARIS — His French Open reign suddenly over, his record streak of 23 consecutive Grand Slam semifinals done, too, Roger Federer paused briefly as he trudged off court at dusk, acknowledging the fans’ applause with a polite smile and a quick wave. He’s certainly not used to bidding adieu so soon. Bothered by the pouring rain and his big-hitting foe, the top-seeded Federer wasted a lead and plenty of openings Tuesday, succumbing to No. 5 Robin Soderling of Sweden 36, 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 in the quarterfinals at Roland Garros. If Soderling’s name sounds familiar, it’s because he stunned four-time champion Rafael Nadal in the French Open’s fourth round last year, before losing to Federer in the final. For the first time in six years, the men’s semifinals at a major tennis tournament will not involve 16-time Grand Slam champion Federer. “They all come to an end at some stage. You hope they don’t happen, but they do. It was a great run,” Federer said, before injecting a little humor by adding with a wry smile: “Now I’ve got the quarterfinal streak going, I guess.” Look at it this way: Federer had won 117 matches in a row — 117! — in the first five rounds at majors, dating to a loss to Gustavo Kuerten in the third round at the French Open on May 29, 2004 (Federer advanced twice when opponents withdrew). “I mean, I respect everyone, but I’m always — how do you say? — I’m honest enough to myself that I know I can win them all,” said Federer, who would cede his No. 1 ranking if Nadal wins the title. Among the many reasons why Tuesday’s result was so unexpected is that Federer was 12-0 against Soderling, having won 28 of the 30 sets they’d played.
NFL
FROM 1B a previously scheduled commitment and missed the voluntary practice. Coach Mike Tomlin also departed early for the same reason and didn’t answer questions. The only noticeable difference in Roethlisberger since those earlier practices is the weight he’s dropped, several players said. “He’s been on the treadmill a little bit,” Colon said. “He’s trying to get a beach body on.” Nothing’s changed with Roethlisberger’s throwing arm. He found Mike Wallace and Arnaz Battle on deep passes and, near the end of the 90-minute workout, hit Battle between two defenders along the sideline. That’s the kind of pass the Steelers haven’t seen their other quarterbacks complete this spring. Leftwich is expected to divide training camp snaps with Roethlisberger as the Steelers prepare one quarterback to start the season and a suspended quarterback to take over sometime in October. LITTLE BIG MAN HOUSTON — Houston Texans sixth-round draft pick Trindon Holliday walked into the locker room one day and found a plastic booster seat on his chair. Yes, the 5-foot-5, 165-pound Holliday is the NFL’s shortest player and his teammates jab him with playful reminders almost daily. But he’s also one of the league’s fastest rookies and if he can master the art of

Steelers’ quarterback Ben Roethlisberger works out on Tuesday for the first time since his suspension. receiving, Houston will add a unique and explosive weapon to its offense. “It’s a learning experience for me now, just trying to get these things down,” Holliday said after Tuesday’s practice. “I’m just focused on coming out, working hard every day and seeing where it all goes from there.” Holliday played running back and specialized in kick returns in four seasons at LSU, bringing back two punts and two kickoffs for touchdowns. He also was an AllAmerican sprinter and was the 2009 NCAA national champion in the 100 meters with a time of 10 seconds flat. But raw speed alone won’t cut it in the NFL, and Texans coach Gary Kubiak thinks Holliday must make vast improvements. The Texans can’t rely on Holliday for kick re-
turns only, Kubiak said, and they need him to develop into a capable receiver. MISSING COLTS INDIANAPOLIS — Three Indianapolis Colts — all Pro Bowlers last season — are skipping another round of voluntary workouts. Receiver Reggie Wayne does not traditionally show up until the mandatory offseason workouts. Indianapolis police are investigating credit card charges after Wayne told them an ex-girlfriend may have used his credit card number to make more than $93,000 in online purchases. Defensive end Robert Mathis reportedly wants to renegotiate his contract and did not attend any team workouts in May. Safety Antoine Bethea has not signed his oneyear tender with the Colts. Coach Jim Caldwell says he
Soderling is the first man to beat the French Open defending champion in consecutive years since another Swede, Mats Wilander, did it in 1984-85. Nadal, remember, was 310 in the French Open until losing to Soderling. Federer also knew full well that if he’d played a little better himself, he’d be preparing for another semifinal. Instead, it will be Soderling vs. Berdych, who advanced to his first Grand Slam semifinal by beating No. 11 Mikhail Youzhny of Russia 6-3, 6-1, 62. In Wednesday’s men’s quarterfinals, Nadal meets No. 19 Nicolas Almagro of Spain, and No. 3 Novak Djokovic of Serbia faces No. 22 Jurgen Melzer of Austria. In Tuesday’s women’s quarterfinals, No. 17 Francesca Schiavone gave Italy its first female semifinalist at the French Open since 1954 by knocking off No. 3 Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark 6-3, 6-2. Schiavone now plays No. 5 Elena Dementieva, who defeated No. 19 Nadia Petrova 2-6, 6-2, 6-0 in an allRussian quarterfinal. But Federer-Soderling rendered anything else going on around the grounds Tuesday a mere afterthought. Federer had a set point at 5-4 in the third, when there was a tremendous exchange. Federer jumped to stop an overhead smash, but Soderling flicked an over-the-shoulder backhand volley winner. Soderling then took the next two points with service winners at 139 mph and 138 mph to hold for 5-5. With Federer serving at 3015 in the next game, the first rain delay arrived, delaying play for 75 minutes. When action resumed, Federer went up 40-15 — then proceeded to lose four points in a row, including two missed forehands and a double-fault. Armed with that break, Soderling served out that set with an ace.

CHIEFS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City set a dubious pass-rushing standard in 2008, taking down the quarterback an NFL record-low 10 times. DeMarcus Ware had twice as many and 10 other players surpassed the Chiefs’ total. Last season, Kansas City made an improvement, more than doubling its total to 22. “That’s a clear-cut goal of ours of an area that’s got to improve, to at least get pressure on the quarterback,” Chiefs coach Todd Haley said. SEAHAWKS RENTON, Wash. — The Seattle Seahawks have signed tight end Anthony McCoy, their sixth-round draft pick, to a multi-year deal. The team announced the signing on Tuesday. McCoy is the first of Seattle’s nine draft picks to sign.McCoy was formerly with Seahawks coach Pete Carroll at Southern California. EAGLES PHILADELPHIA — Eagles defensive back Marlin Jackson has ruptured his right Achilles’ tendon an indoor practice.

GALLAGHER
Noble wasn’t even thinking of Notre Dame when the week began. He and quarterback SHERRILL B.J. Sherrill had just returned with Young from a visit to Georgia Tech. “We had a great visit,” Young said. “We were able to tour all of the football facilities, the campus, weight room and dorms.” The dorms are actually the Olympic Village from the 1996 Olympics. While Georgia Tech has offered Noble, Young said the Yellow Jackets are showing interest in Sherrill, a 6-0, 220-pounder gunslinger who is 30-0 as a varsity quarterback. His status will be known more after he attends a quarterback camp in Atlanta on June 8. “That’s huge, huge,” Young said. “I know he’s in the mix recruiting-wise. He’ll have to work out well.” • Parks, the All-American running back who finished his career third on the alltime national rushing list, will be heading to Charlottesville on June 14 to begin school and workouts.
FROM 1B
A sweaty Noble said that as he walked out of the West Rowan weight room from a strenuous workout with this past season’s mega-stars K.P. Parks (Virginia) and Chris Smith (Arkansas). As a mentor, Young would like for Noble to follow the lead of Parks and Smith and commit before August when the Falcons begin their quest for a third straight state crown. “You want to commit to a great university before you risk the chance of injury,” Young said. What’s the formula for a college? “If a school needs three DBs in this signing class, they’ll offer 10 and the first three to commit are the only (scholarships) they have,” he said. Where will Noble go? His decision was made more difficult on Tuesday by an offer from that school in South Bend with the Golden Dome. “I’m excited,” Young said. “Domonique’s excited.” “It’s a real good feeling,” Noble smiled before heading back into the weight room. •

Braves extend lead Associated Press
ATLANTA — Troy Glaus stayed hot with a three-run homer, Tim Hudson pitched six strong innings around a rain delay, and the streaking Atlanta Braves extended with lead in the NL East with a 7-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. The Braves moved 1 1⁄2 games ahead of two-time reigning NL champion Philadelphia with their 17th win in the last 21 games, including seven in a row. Reds 9, Cardinals 8 ST. LOUIS — Scott Rolen homered twice and the Cincinnati Reds overcame a rough outing by Johnny Cueto. Pirates 3, Cubs 2 PITTSBURGH — Neil Walker hit his first major league home run to put the Pirates ahead in the eighth. The Pirates improved to 7-1 against the Cubs this season — they’re 15-30 against everyone else. Marlins 6, Brewers 4 MIAMI — Jorge Cantu hit a go-ahead double in the seventh inning as Florida became the latest team to rough up Trevor Hoffman (11.65 ERA). Hoffman took over with the score 3-all. Chris Coghlan led off with a double and scored on Cantu’s hit Ronny Paulino added a two-run single. AMERICAN LEAGUE Yankees 3, Orioles 1 NEW YORK — Miguel Tejada’s two-out, two-run throwing error allowed Javier Vazquez to win a stellar matchup with Brian Matusz. Tejada, playing his first season at third base, fielded Alex Rodriguez’s sharp grounder off reliever David Hernandez in the seventh inning, but his throw to first bounced in the dirt and Ty Wigginton couldn’t stretch far enough to scoop it. Red Sox 9, Athletics 4 BOSTON — Victor Martinez had five hits, including a career-high four doubles — one of them to break a sixthinning tie after Oakland walked the bases loaded — and the Boston Red Sox rallied from a four-run deficit. Indians 3, Tigers 2 DETROIT — Russell Branyan and Shin-Soo Choo hit homers for the Indians. Jake Westbrook (3-3) gave up a run on five hits and a walk over 7-plus innings. Kerry Wood gave up an unearned run on Alex Avila’s RBI single after Branyan’s two-out error, letting the Tigers pull within a run before earning his third save. Royals 6, Angels 3 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — David DeJesus hit a two-run triple, Jose Guillen homered and reliever Robinson Tejeda escaped a jam in the sixth. Brian Bannister (5-3) worked into the sixth inning and the bullpen pitched 32⁄3 scoreless innings to end Kansas City’s three-game skid. Tejeda got the two biggest outs, stopping the Angels with runners on second and third. Rays 7, Blue Jays 6 TORONTO — Sean Rodriguez hit a go-ahead, threerun double in a wild ninth that featured two ejections. The Blue Jays led 5-3 to begin the inning, but Carl Crawford drew a one-out walk and stole second. He was nearly picked off second but ended up at third after Kevin Gregg’s throwing error sent the ball into center field. Evan Longoria walked to put runners on the corners for Carlos Pena, who struck out looking after he was denied a timeout call by home plate umpire Angel Hernandez. Rays manager Joe Maddon came out to argue and was ejected by Hernandez. Gregg (0-2) loaded the bases by walking pinch-hitter John Jaso, then walked in a run before Rodriguez’s basesclearing double. Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston replaced Gregg with left-hander Rommie Lewis after Dioner Navarro walked. Gregg was ejected by Hernandez for arguing as he walked off the mound and had to be restrained by bench coach Nick Leyva. Rangers 9, White Sox 6 CHICAGO — Ian Kinsler drove in three runs and Craig Gentry hit a two-run single.

SALISBURY POST
Florida profiting from perfection Associated Press
MIAMI — Sorry you weren’t there for Roy Halladay’s perfect game? You can be. The Florida Marlins are putting tickets on sale for Halladay’s gem — as souvenirs, at face price. Buy one, and they’ll even count you in the official paid attendance. Halladay pitched the Philadelphia Phillies over the Marlins on Saturday night. It was the 20th perfect game in major league history, and the crowd was announced at 25,086. Marlins president David Samson said Tuesday the team sold more than 3,000 tickets in the first four hours they were available. Marlins tickets range from $12 to over $300. “No one is buying a ticket thinking they are going to the game,” Samson said. “Nobody is saying, ‘Oh, my God, I wonder who wins?’ So it’s not as if there is any consumer fraud that is going on.” The Marlins are currently last in the National League in attendance, averaging 16,764 a game. They only draw more than Toronto and Cleveland in the majors. “I certainly would not have ex-
pected that a team doing it’s job — we are a team with a low revenue ... trying to raise revenue, I would not have expected this to get any attention,” Samson said. The White Sox sold souvenir tickets to Mark Buehrle’s perfect game after he pitched one at home last July, though the souvenir stubs did not count in the attendance figure. “If you’re a Phillie fan, you’re probably going to appreciate it. It’s a neat little trinket,” fan Danny Prenat said at Tuesday night’s Milwaukee-Marlins game. “But if you’re from Miami, it’s not going to have the same value.” Said Samson: “It’s history. I don’t want to reiterate this too many times — 20 perfect games in the history of the game.” Samson said he didn’t see this as the Marlins profiteering at the expense of Halladay doing well against them. “As opposed to when teams set their prices and do platinum, gold, silver and bronze games or tier one, two and three depending on their opponents,” Samson said. “It’s baseball history, we don’t look at it that way. We’re just selling tickets.”
Tigers trade Willis Associated Press
DETROIT — The Tigers found a taker for Dontrelle Willis. Detroit dealt the left-handed pitcher and cash to the Arizona Diamondbacks for right-hander Billy Buckner, who was sent to Triple-A Toledo. The 28-year-old Willis was designated for assignment on Sunday, giving the Tigers up to 10 days to make a move with him. He was making $12 million this year. “We are paying a substantial portion of that salary,” said Detroit general manager Dave Dombrowski, adding that a couple clubs showed interest. Willis was 1-2 with a 4.98 ERA in eight starts and one relief appearance this season. He is expected to start Saturday night in Arizona against Colorado. “I’m just excited to get a fresh start,” Willis said. He joins a team that had lost eight in a row entering Tuesday night’s action and ranked last in the majors with a 5.89 ERA. “He’s had extreme success, he’s had a period of struggles, and he’s hopefully coming out of it,” Diamondbacks general manager Josh Byrnes said. “He’s always been known as a big personality, and we’ve encouraged him to be himself and breathe some life into this team, which we need.” The former NL Rookie of the Year, All-Star and 22-game winner helped Florida toward the World Series championship in 2003 but failed to remotely regain that form in two-plus seasons with the Tigers. “It was a great place to play baseball,” Willis said. “I just didn’t get it done.” Arizona manager A.J. Hinch talked to Willis shortly after the trade went down. “He’s an energetic guy who loves to play,” Hinch said. “He wears his heart on his sleeve and has a lot of charisma. He had a lot of success early in his career for his play and his personality and his approach. He brings a fresh outlook to our team, and a fresh personality.” Willis joined the Tigers as part of the trade that brought Miguel Cabrera to Detroit after the 2007 season and signed a three-year, $29 million contract extension. Willis was 2-8 with a 6.86 ERA in 24 games — 22 starts — and was put on the disabled list twice last season with what the team called an anxiety disorder, a diagnosis he disputed. One of the better hitting pitchers in baseball, he said he was thrilled to be returning to the National League. “Sometimes for an athlete it’s definitely rejuvenating that someone else wants you and someone else believes in you,” he said. Willis, who already had moved from Florida to Scottsdale, Ariz., is the only lefty on the Diamondbacks’ staff. PIRATES-BLUE JAYS PITTSBURGH — The Toronto Blue Jays traded struggling lefthanded pitcher Dana Eveland to the Pittsburgh Pirates for a minor league reliever on Tuesday. The 26-year-old Eveland will be joining his fifth major league team in the past five seasons. A former draft pick of Milwaukee, he was 3-4 with a 6.45 ERA in nine starts this season for Toronto. The Blue Jays designated Eveland for assignment on May 24, giv-
ing them 10 days to make a move with him. Toronto acquired 23-year-old righty Ronald Uviedo from the Pirates. He was 0-2 with a 3.22 ERA in 16 relief appearances for Double-A Altoona, holding opponents to a .165 average off of him. TWINS SEATTLE — Minnesota Twins second baseman Orlando Hudson rejoined the team Tuesday, two days after his entire left arm went numb following a collision with teammate Denard Span. A CT scan on Hudson showed there was no structural damage. The two-time All-Star had his left wrist reconstructed in surgery two years ago. Hudson got electric stimulation therapy, then was smiling and wearing a bionic-looking chip inside a bandage over the wrist. That was hours before Minnesota attempted to win its sixth consecutive game, against Seattle. The Twins say Hudson could be back playing before the weekend. ASTROS HOUSTON — A Major League Baseball official says umpire Bill Hohn will be addressed “in a very stern way” after a confrontation with Houston pitcher Roy Oswalt led to the ejection of the Astros’ ace. Bob Watson, the vice president in charge of discipline, rules and on-field operations for MLB, tells Houston television station KRIV that Oswalt will not be penalized further after Monday’s incident. Watson says Hohn will get a phone call from Mike Port, baseball’s vice president in charge of umpires. After missing the strike zone with a pitch against Washington’s Josh Willingham, Oswalt looked toward the first base line and yelled something. Hohn took off his mask and yelled at Oswalt, who responded, “I ain’t talking to you!” Hohn then ejected Oswalt. Before Tuesday night’s game against Washington, Oswalt said he hadn’t heard from MLB but was hoping he wouldn’t get fined. “I thought it was kind of quick on his part,” he said. “To be talking to myself on the mound and to get thrown out, I didn’t see the point of that.” “I’ve read something where one of the umpires said I showed him up, but I felt he was showing me up coming out and taking his mask off and pointing at me, when I never even looked his way,” Oswalt said. “During the time he was pointing at me ... I tried to explain to him I wasn’t talking to him. I was upset with myself on that pitch more than anything else.” OBIT VISALIA, Calif. — Former major league pitcher Jeriome Robertson, whose 15 wins led all rookies in 2003, has died. He was 33. Robertson was killed Saturday when he lost control of his motorcycle and crashed, the California Highway Patrol said. The left-hander went 15-9 with a 5.10 ERA for Houston in his one big year and topped the team in victories. Robertson was traded to Cleveland before the next season after the Astros signed free agents Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte. Robertson’s last game in the majors came in July 2004 — he hit Magglio Ordonez with his final pitch and was ejected. He later played in the minors for the Mets and Reds, and finished in 2007 in the Mexican and independent leagues.

Is PRP right for shoulder injury? Step to the plate to make the play Dear Dr. Gott: I would like your opinion about plateletrich plasma (PRP). I have an impingement in my shoulder and was told I need surgery. Do you think the PRP is an option? Dear Reader: There is an increasing demand, and rightly so, for the use of autologous (self-donated) blood products that aid the healing process. Blood contains red and white blood cells, platelets and plasma. DR. PETER The platelets are responsiGOTT ble for the production and revitalization of new connective tissue. Let me briefly discuss PRP, and then I will try to answer your question. During the procedure you are considering, about 30 to 60 millimeters of a patient’s blood are drawn and spun down in a centrifuge for 15 minutes. From that draw, between 3 and 6 ccs of PRP become available. The concentrated platelets are then injected into the patient at the site of the injury. The process was first used and documented in 1987 by a physician who performed open -heart surgery. However, it has been only about a year since it has been used in conjunction with sports-related/overuse injuries. Perhaps because tendons get very little blood, injury sites heal slowly. The thought process behind PRP is that concen-
trated platelets injected into the injury site should speed recovery. A Journal of the American Medical Association (Jan. 13, 2010) reported the use of PRP for Achilles tendinopathy and indicated the PRP injection, compared to a saline injection, did not result in greater improvement in pain and activity. Keep in mind this report was for chronic Achilles tendinopathy, not shoulder impingement. I state this only because there is little, if any, information regarding the shoulder. The New York Times covered the topic on Jan. 12, 2010, stating the treatment has become so popular that patients are willing to pay $1,000 or more out of pocket for PRP — especially after hearing that Tiger Woods had his knee injected and two football players, Troy Polamalu and Hines Ward, received injections, all with positive reports. Thousands of doctors and about 500 hospitals are offering the service today. However, the first rigorous study found that platelet injections are no more effective than saltwater. Again, this report extracted from the JAMA report is related only to acute Achilles tendinopathy. In defense of the procedure, another study in the American Journal of Sports Medicine due out soon concludes that platelet injections may help tennis elbow, but some indicate the study has a design flaw that leads them to question its conclusions. This may be worth watching for final analysis. As you can see, the jury is
out on this one, and I am a member of the jury. Thank heavens testing continues. My problem is that PRP is in its infancy and has been used for sports-related injuries for only about a year. I’m not daring enough to be on the cutting edge, nor am I willing to step up to the plate and take a stand. It’s simply too soon for my endorsement. Only you know your physician’s qualifications. Perhaps a second opinion at a large sports-medicine center or teaching hospital is appropriate. Good luck.

Spike Milligan, a comedian who was born in India but worked in Britain, said, “I’m a hero with coward’s legs. I’m a hero from the waist up.” A bridge player must be a hero from the neck up. In this deal, it is East who has to be the hero. Against three no-trump, West leads the spade queen. What should East do? The auction was straightforward but involved. South responded one heart, bidding four-card suits as he mounted the bidding ladder. West overcalled one spade with his good five-card suit and nearopening-bid values. North rebid two clubs, promising at least 5-4 in the minors. South rebid two no-trump to show
a maximum pass with at least one spade stopper. (If South were not a passed hand, this rebid would still be game-invitational.) And North raised
to game with 16 high-card points. We all learn early in our bridge career that in notrump, we return partner’s lead as quickly as possible. But we should not play thoughtlessly. Suppose East takes the first trick with his spade ace and plays back his second spade. What will happen? South will take the trick and at least eight minor-suit winners because the diamond finesse is working if declarer needs it. Instead, it is hero-or-goat time for East. He should see that the only chance for the defense lies in hearts. East must win the first trick and immediately shift to the heart jack. Then, the defenders should take one spade and four hearts to defeat the contract.
U.S. library honors Paul McCartney for pop music WASHINGTON (AP) — When it comes to popular music, it doesn’t get much bigger than the tunes Paul McCartney has written and sung over the past five decades with the Beatles and on his own. McCartney, who has been knighted by the queen of England, is being honored with Washington’s highest award for pop music this week by the Library of Congress. The Gershwin Prize for Popular Song is named for the U.S. songwriting brothers George and Ira Gershwin, whose collections are housed at the library.
McCartney has “made an impact far beyond music through his humanitarianism and activism around the world, which are emblematic of the spirit of the Gershwin Prize,” Librarian of Congress James Billington said Tuesday. The 67-year-old McCartney said he’s “slightly nervous” about performing about three feet in front of President Barack Obama in the East Room at the White House on Wednesday, when he will be presented the award. “For an English kid growing up in Liverpool, the White
House — that’s pretty special,” he said Tuesday. “He’s a great guy,” McCartney said of Obama, “so lay off him.” The former Beatle says it’s very special to win the Gershwin Prize because he grew up listening to music by the Gershwin brothers.

City MODERN-DAY PROSPECTORS declares items nuisances Council discusses code violations, rate increases BY SHELLEY SMITH
ssmith@salisburypost.com
The Salisbury City Council declared three items on Robert Boone’s property at 1605 S. Main St. public nuisances, and the city will abate the nuisances some time in the near future. The three items declared as nuisances were piles of dirt, a concrete barrier and six dilapidated U.S. flags. Councilmen William “Pete” Kennedy and Brian Miller asked Code Services Manager Chris Branham numerous questions about the property and notifications/contact with Boone, and Branham assured him everything had been done to help Boone rather than hurt him. “City Manager David Treme and I met with Mr. Boone last Tuesday afternoon, for 45 minutes,” Mayor Pro-Tem Maggie Blackwell said. “We strongly encouraged him to have the landscaping completed today. We made every effort to work with him. “I strongly feel that our city has made every effort to support this individual. When we asked him to have his landscaping completed by today, he said he would not.” “It is unfortunate because I don’t ever like to be in this situation,” Miller said. “It’s really unfortunate because this person’s had ample opportunity to keep this from becoming the result. I personally am satisfied that you guys have done what you can do with it.” Treme said he even told Boone he would personally help him remove the dirt and flags from his property. He also purchased flags for Boone, but he did not take them. “We really pleaded with him to take those actions,” he said. “Mr. Boone himself mentioned that he already purchased flags but he just hadn’t put them up yet.”

Council votes to rezone property Land to be used to construct homeless veterans facility BY SHELLEY SMITH

right voted in favor of the first option. Councilmen Brandon Linn and Ron Overcash said they could not fathom hitting the minimum users. “We gripe and complain about Salisbury-Rowan Utilities...we are the same as Salisbury,” Overcash said. He said he did not agree with telling someone they would be charged for using 2,000 gallons even if they didn’t actually use that much. China Grove receives water
The Salisbury City Council voted in favor Tuesday to rezone a portion of land on Calvin Avenue for a 25-unit homeless veterans facility. Calvin Avenue is located behind the Salisbury Mall. The development, Liberty Square, will house one full-time, onsite caseworker. The remaining units will house 24 homeless veterans. Scott Redinger, a housing consultant for RHA Health Services of High Point, spoke to the council during the public hearing, and said the units would provide transitional housing for the veterans. The facility will also house a large activity room, kitchen to share meals, library, computer room, exercise room and laundry room. Each individual room will be equivalent to a large hotel room with a kitchenette and bathroom. “There is a need,” Redinger said. The VA Hospital in Salisbury, “needs transitional housing for homeless veterans who are seen at the hospital but have no place to go,” he said. “The VA Hospital has been working with us to help us accomplish that.” Scott Little, also with RHA, spoke in favor of the facility, noting the importance of having a transitional place for veterans. “We come to this project with a very strong background in property development and dealing with primary disability issues with veterans as they try to transition back into society,” Little said. “This is not just housing.” Lit-

China Grove board opts to raise water, sewer rates BY SHAVONNE POTTS
spotts@salisburypost.com
CHINA GROVE — The town board debated for sometime Tuesday about implementing a new sewer and water rate, which, if raised, would bring in just enough to balance those budgets. The meeting was the the last in a sequence of budget sessions and the board expects a public hearing in two weeks followed by final approval of the 20102011 budget. The current rate for water is $8 per 1,000 gallons and $9.50 per

1,000 gallons for sewer. Last year’s sewer rate went up from $9 to $9.50, while the water rate remained the same. The town staff came up with three options the board could consider concerning the water and sewer rates. The options would mostly affect the people who use the least. The idea was to increase the minimum number of gallons a person uses from 1,000 to 2,000 gallons. There is an average of 773 people who use less than 1,000 gallons. If the town increases that minimum to 2,000 gallons that would mean one-

third of the users — 461 people — would pay more with an increase in the minimum amount they consume. The board reluctantly chose the first option, opting to double the minimum usage from 1,000 to 2,000 gallons. The water rate would go from $8 to $9 and the sewer rate would increase from $9.50 to $10.20. Town staff originally proposed a sewer rate of $10, but it was determined that adding 20 cents would bring the town over their $13,000 shortfall.

Treme said he has received phone calls, emails and visits from other people in Salisbury saying that the city better not back down, saying that if it did, there could be problems with other people and properties in the future should the city attempt to enforce an ordinance. As of Tuesday, Boone had accrued $26,250 in $250/day charges for having dilapidated flags on his property. He will also have to pay the cost of the abatement. If he refuses to pay the abatement fees, a tax lean will be placed on his property. “The money is not our main object here, we just want it corrected,” Treme said. “We do have a code enforcer, and he’s done an excellent job,” Mayor Susan Kluttz said. “We have this in place, and everyone in the city has to be treated equally. I don’t know that we really have a choice.” Boone’s property could be cleared of the piles of dirt, concrete barrier and six U.S. flags as soon as today. Another hot topic during the meeting was the city’s budget. Two people spoke out against Salisbury’s 2010-2011 fiscal year budget during the a public hearing, both speaking against proposed rate increases for water and sewer services. Jerry Shelby was first to speak, focusing on Salisbury’s rate of poverty and how

from Salisbury-Rowan Utilities. At the time the town entered into the contract with Salisbury it used more water than it does now, but it’s still billed the original amount. Overcash and Linn were in agreement with the second option the town staff proposed, which was to keep the minimum usage at 1,000 gallons and set the water rate at $9.75 and the sewer $10.75. The second option would’ve generated $14,000 in revenue, but historically has not worked well.
Councilman Withers has said when the town has gone up on its minimum rates in the past, all of those customers just decreased the amount of water they used, resulting in a loss for the town, which in this case would be an average loss of 12 percent or about $106,000. “None of us want to do it, but we have to do it,” Withers said. Town Manager Bill Pless said either way those minimum users will have to pay now or in the next budget year. “It’s not a favorable situation, but hopefully it will position the town in a better po-

tle noted that crisis management, basic case management, financial help and further education and job training will be part of the facility, too. “I think this creates a lot more stability,” he said. Hattie Johnson is the home coordinator for the Hefner VA Homes Program and is a veteran herself. “We have in excess over 800 homeless veterans in fiscal year 2009-2010,” Johnson said. “Those homeless are coming from all over.” She stressed the need for such facility. “Why is there a need?” she asked, “because you don’t have one. “We don’t need just housing, we need treatment compiled with housing. The VA can provide medical and mental health but we need the community — a collaborative partnership. The goal is to end homelessness.” The Rev. Nilous Avery also spoke in favor of the facility. “It’s scary to see that maybe we’re not doing enough for our veterans,” he said. “Liberty Square is becoming a part of the community that is already a diverse community. “It is also a ministry. It is serving to impact and build lives. I believe that it is a ministry that helps the veterans embrace who they are and what they’ve done. Help
sition next year,” Bringle said. Right, wrong or indifferent, it’s a difficult decision, he said. “Next year will be more difficult,” Bringle said. The board decided to continue with the proposed property tax increase discussed during last week’s meeting. The town will increase the current 38 cents tax rate to 43 cents per $100 of assessed value, the highest it’s been in at least six years. Even with the tax increase and water/sewer increases, the town still will have to borrow from the fund balance, which is the town’s cash reserves, to balance the budget.

envision a future they probably might not have had that RHA can provide. “This can only help our community. We’re ready to welcome them with open arms.” The council was happy to hear Liberty Square was coming to Salisbury and also have it in a central location, where veterans will have access to the Salisbury Mall, other businesses and public transportation stops. The council also heard a presentation on Henderson Street traffic from traffic engineer Wendy Brindle. Brindle said she and other city staff met with residents of Henderson Street on April 29, discussing their needs and wants concerning traffic problems with the street, mainly between Fulton and Grove streets. Brindle said she and the residents discussed several methods of curbing speeding traffic, such as traffic circles, signs and painted pedestrian crosswalks. Additional funding for signs or crosswalks would not be needed, however, a traffic circle costs about $5,000, she said. Mayor Pro-Tem Maggie Blackwell suggested a traffic circle be tested for its effectiveness, and that the residents come together to raise the $5,000. Brindle and the council agreed with Blackwell’s idea. If a traffic circle was installed, the diameter of the circle would be 20 to 22 feet, and the landscaping in-

everyone is struggling to stay afloat across the city. “I don’t know how to cut my costs anymore unless I come here and sponge bath in the water fountain,” he said of the proposed 5.57 percent increase in water and sewer. “It costs more to read the meter than it does for the usage.” Shelby held up a Walmart bag, and said he does not use trash services, placing his bags in his neighbor’s trash bin, not only to save money, but “to save a stop for the truck,” he said. “There has to be a better way than annually taxing those that can least afford it,” he said. Victor Wallace spoke against the rate increase and handed the council a print out of water and sewer rate figures from the N.C. League of Municipalities. “Salisbury is on top — 5,000 gallons per month,” he said. “You can see that Salisbury is substantially higher than a number of these. What’s at play here is the law of demand. “As a commodity’s price goes up, the consumers buy less of it. I think it’s been going on for years. I would like for you to study these rate sheets and consider fully what we’re doing and why we’re doing it. “In this time of the great recession, I think we should freeze these rates as long as we can.” Kluttz thanked Shelby and Wallace for speaking, and their comments will be considered during the council’s budget workshop Monday, June 14.
days — are better than others. Rose and Eugene Absher of Oak Hill, W.Va., arrived at Mountain Creek over the weekend in their camper, and they’re making it a week of prospecting. The truth is, most prospectors come from out of state, Tucker says. A novice, Rose says she became hooked the other day when she found a piece of gold about the size of the end of her finger. Will Wilcox, a special guest at Mountain Creek this week, has the look of a gold prospector. He wears a black top hat made of rabbit fur with a couple of feathers sticking in the band. He has the leathery skin forged from a lot of lonely days in the sun. His long, unruly beard fits the prospecting stereotype. He always keeps a loaded gun close to him, and the dog sleeping nearby seems to be tired of all his stories. Under a portable awning set up next to his van, the 81-year-old Wilcox sits behind a table holding his wares: natural gold jewelry, panning sands and numerous gold nuggets he has found. His book, “The Nugget Man,” also is for sale, and it has “so many tall tales in there you need a step-stool or extension ladder to get to the top,” Wilcox says. A display case in front of

how to pan. As for the gold he personally has found at Mountain Creek, Smith says he sold a lot of it when the price started to go up steadily. “I find a little bit,” he says, working his trough. “Lately, they’ve been finding some pretty good stuff.” His son, Tom, tries to visit Mountain Creek several times a year to see his dad and prospect himself. An electrician back in Massachusetts, the young Smith says he has four different bottles filled with pieces of gold found in Stanly County. “I worked too hard for it,” he adds. “I’m not going to sell it.” What’s a successful day of prospecting? “As long as you get yellow at the bottom of the pan, it’s successful,” Jim Winters says. Winters calls West Virginia home, but he also has spent much of his time in recent years helping Tucker. He keeps the bits of gold he collects from his own prospecting, planning to give a small bottle of gold to each of his eight grandchildren. There are certain axioms one
keeps hearing in the recreational prospecting business. If you see quartz, gold is probably close by. “And you get more gold if you run more dirt,” Winters says. Dredging, which is also available at Mountain Creek, is one of the ways to run more dirt. It’s essentially relies on a 4-inch vacuum cleaner sucking the silt off the creek bottom and washing the dirt as it goes through the tube. Nadine Bowers, Tucker’s daughter and a fourth-generation prospector, says prospectors find “pickers,” “clunkers” and “nuggets” on the family property. She recently found, for example, a sliver weighing an eighth of an ounce. “He’s hunted all his life,” she says of her father, “and I’ve hunted all my life.” Retired from Alcoa, Tucker says a half-ounce of gold is the biggest piece to come out of Mountain Creek in his lifetime. He has mined 16 total ounces of gold in one day — a personal record. “There’s a hundred percent chance you will find gold,” Tucker guarantees, though the gold finding its way to the bottom of pans often will be flecks and specks, barely glinting in the sun. Tucker acknowledges that some batches of soil — and some

KANNAPOLIS — More than 60 students found creative ways to depict human health and metabolism during the annual art contest hosted by the UNC Nutrition Research Institute at the N.C. Research Campus. Miguel Angel Olivares Robledo, a senior at A. L. Brown High School, did it the best. He won the grand prize for illustrating the theme, “What Revs Up Your Metabolism?” and took home cash and prizes worth more than $250. Scientists at the Nutrition Research Institute are working to understand why people’s metabolism and nutrition requirements differ and how that knowledge could help solve some of the world’s greatest health problems, including diabetes, heart disease, cancer and stroke. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is one of eight universities studying health and nutrition in Kannapolis. Winning artwork will hang
in the Nutrition Research Institute, where visiting researchers from across the globe will view the talents of students from area schools. “The NRI is committed to engaging students on many levels, and this art contest is just another way for us to expose students to the research happening here,” Director Dr. Steven Zeisel said when presenting the awards. The contest encourages students to develop an interest in science, said Dr. Jim Martin, former North Carolina governor and chair of the UNC Nutrition Research Institute Board of Advisors. “I really appreciate this partnership with local schools and look forward to seeing these students continue to become more directly involved in nutrition and science,” Martin said in a statement.

A 23-year-old Salisbury woman who was found lying on the side of Lowder Road, appearing to be dead, is expected to be released from Rowan Regional Medical Center today. Investigators with the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office have a lot of questions about what happened between the time the woman left home on a date around 4 p.m. and 6:15, when she was found on the side
of the road. Capt. John Sifford of the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office said a man driving along Lowder Road — between Barringer and Sherrills Ford roads — Sunday around 6:15 p.m. saw what he thought was a body on the side of the road. The man attempted to call 911 but his cell phone didn’t have service. He drove a short distance to the home of a family member who called 911 to report the body of a white female in her late teens or early 20s.
Early voting for the June 22 second primary begins at the headquarters of the Rowan Public Library on Thursday. One-stop voting will be open through Saturday, June 19, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the final Saturday. The building is located at 201 West Fisher St. in Salisbury. One-stop voting will not be held at the Board of Elections office. Polls will be open for voting Tuesday, June 22, from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Nancy Evans, Rowan County elections director, referred to the county’s last runoff election to estimate the turnout for this one. In 2004, a runoff was held for Republican county commissioner candidates Jim Sides and David Aycoth, as well as Democratic superintendent of public instruction candidates June Atkinson and Marshall Stewart. “The total countywide turnout was 6.38 percent, so that is probably going to be pretty close to what it’s going to be this time,” Evans said. At 13.17 percent, turnout in the first 2004 primary election was slightly less than this year’s showing of 15.37 percent. Evans said she expects a similar drop in participation to what was seen six years ago, because people are more likely to forget about the second primary election. “Summertime is vacation time, and people just don’t really think about it,” she said. Those who voted in the Republican or Democratic primary on May 4 must participate in the same party’s second pri-

The family member, a nurse at Carolinas Medical Center, went to 6270 Lowder Road where the body had been spotted. The nurse detected a slight pulse, but no breathing. He immediately began CPR and the woman responded and began breathing on her own. She was transported to Rowan Regional Medical Center. Sifford said the woman appeared to be under the influence of drugs and had drugs on her person. She had bruises indicating some
type of physical altercation. Sifford said she has talked with investigators, but has not been cooperative. Members of her family said she left home around 4 p.m. with a man she knew. Sifford said the man is a suspected drug dealer. At this point, the sheriff’s office is not releasing the woman’s name. The sheriff’s office is asking anyone with information concerning the case to call detective Clint Mauldin at 704-216-8700.

A week after 32-year-old Terry Dwayne Lark was gunned down on his front porch, police are asking for the public’s help to find his killer. Lark was shot shortly after 10 p.m. on Sunday, May 23. He heard a knock on the front door of his home at 226 S. Clay St. When he went to the door, he was confronted by two masked men. One of the men shot Lark in the upper torso. He died a short while later at Rowan Regional Medical Center. Lark played football at Salisbury High School where he graduated. He also attended A&T State University in Greensboro. Funeral services for Lark were held Saturday. He is survived by three sons and one daughter, along with his parents and other family members. Since the shooting, Salisbury Police have worked to identify suspects and build a case to convict the shooter of killing Lark. Chief Rory Collins said Monday police could use a little help. He asked that anyone with information about the shooting call Crime Stoppers at 1-866-639-5245. Crime Stoppers will provide a reward for information. The amount of the reward is tied to the value of the information.

Center for Environment to sponsor free emissions testing Center for the Environment at Catawba College
The game between the Intimidators and the Augusta GreenJackets won’t be the only feature Friday, June 25, at Intimidator Stadium in Kannapolis. The Center for the Environment at Catawba College will partner with Mecklenburg Air Quality Program, Rowan-Cabarrus Community College (RCCC) and the Intimidator Stadium to test gas caps for leaks and check tire pressure from 4 to 7 p.m. Fleet owners as well as individuals may bring their vehicles by for the emissions and tire pressure checks. Gas caps that fail the test will be replaced free of charge. RCCC’s Automotive Department will also check emissions systems on all vehicles made after 1996. In addition, the first 200 people will receive free tire gauges. Children can play on the Intimidator playground while their parents get their cars checked, and food will be available for purchase in the stadium. Alan Giles, senior air quality specialist with the Mecklenburg Air Quality Program, notes that 30 gallons of gasoline and about 200 pounds of evaporative emissions can be released every year from a leaking gas cap. This contributes to air pollution and wastes fuel. Wade Vernon, head of RCCC’s automotive group, says leaks can go undetected. “A ‘check engine’ light will come on only if a failure of an emission system takes place twice consecutively,” he says. “Gas caps could leak, and people wouldn’t know it. Leaks that are smaller than .020” could possibly never be detected by the vehicles onboard computer.” This “Check It Out” event is a service of the Center for

the Environment’s Campaign for Clean Air, which is designed to educate citizens in our community and region and empower them to take action to address the air quality issues the region faces. Shelia Armstrong, the Center’s air quality outreach coordinator, points out that the American Lung Association recently listed Rowan County as the 17th worst county in the nation for ground-level ozone. The Charlotte-Gastonia-Salisbury metropolitan area, which includes Cabarrus County, was ranked 10th in the nation for the most ozone-polluted cities. Leaking gas caps contribute to the region’s air pollution. Children and the elderly — more than 115,000 in Rowan and Cabarrus — as well as people with lung disease and those who work or exercise outdoors are particularly susceptible. In North Carolina each year, air pollution leads to an estimated 3,000 premature deaths; 6,000 hospital admissions for respiratory disease and another 2,000 for cardiovascular disease; and 1,500 new cases of asthma and 2,500 cases of chronic bronchitis in adults. Asthma, lung cancer, Hodgkin’s disease and heart attacks have all been scientifically linked to traffic-related air pollution. “These tests will help individuals and fleet owners ensure that their vehicles pass the emissions tests,” Armstrong says. “It is one more step in making our air healthy to breathe.” The Center for the Environment at Catawba College was founded in 1996 to educate the public and the college community about regional environmental challenges and to foster community-based sustainable solutions to those challenges. It seeks to serve as a model for programs throughout the country.

Child advocacy center seeks national accreditation BY SHAVONNE POTTS
spotts@salisburypost.com
A child advocacy center is in the process of seeking national accreditation and is currently implementing new state standards. The Terrie Hess House, a program of Prevent Child Abuse Rowan, is Rowan County’s Children Advocacy Center Newly-named director Elizabeth Thomas spoke to the Community Child Protection Team during its Tuesday meeting about the center. The center is currently provisionally accredited, meaning it has made significant steps toward meeting full accreditation with Children’s Advocacy Centers of North Carolina, the state’s accrediting body. An agency that has full accreditation is capable of receiving more funding, which would allow for more services to be offered. Accreditation standards became effective in January. In order to become fully accredited, the agency must submit data to the state. Thomas said this is no easy task. For instance, each entity, whether law enforcement or child protective services, involved in a child abuse case collects different data. That data isn’t necessarily reported to the advocacy center. There is no way to know how many reported cases of abuse in there are in Rowan, Thomas said. Member William Peoples wanted to know why each of the entities involved — law enforcement, social services and the advocacy center, were not on the same page. Tom Brewer, child protective services program administrator, said his department and law enforcement are beginning to conduct joint interviews. It’s a matter of getting all of the agencies involved and working together, Thomas said. Thomas told the group about how the center operates. A multi-disciplinary team coordinates investiga-
tions of all child sex abuse allegations in Rowan County. Throughout the years, advocates have changed the way an investigation is conducted. In the past, Thomas said, police, social services, medical personnel and victim’s advocates all conducted interviews, a process that has been found to further traumatize the victims. Now one interview is conducted, usually at a child advocacy center, where a forensic interview is done. A forensic interview ensures the interviewer’s objectivity, employs non-leading techniques and emphasizes carefully documented interviews. The center was named in memory of Terrie Spencer Hess, the first president of Prevent Child Abuse Rowan. The group also received updates from the Prescription Drug Abuse subcommittee headed by Sheriff Kevin Auten. The Social Services Board co-sponsored a community roundtable about prescription drug abuse among teens in January. The goal is for the community to be informed about prescription drug abuse. Retired Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police detective Ernest Kirchin, led the first roundtable and serves on the subcommittee. Kirchin is also the training and education director for the National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators (NADDI). Plans are in place for another forum, which will be open to more of the community. One of the needs the subcommittee identified was to speak with lawmakers about changes to legislation that would allow local law enforcement to access the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program. The program is a registry database of filled prescriptions. Currently, only doctors and pharmacists have access. The problem is not all of those with access utilize the information, leaving a gap that al-
15-year-old girl charged with stabbing a Salisbury man
An argument between two teenagers at Zion Hills Apartment ended with a 15-year-old girl stabbing a 19-year-old man with a kitchen knife. The incident occurred Sunday around 6 p.m. at the apartment complex at 1614 Standish St. According to Salisbury Police, the 14-year-old girl got into an argument with Desmond Jermaine Torrence, 19. A some point, the girl’s brother, Keith Moore, came to her aid. A fight broke out between Moore and Torrence. Torrence then went to his apartment and brought back a silver pocketknife. According to the police report, the girl then went into another apartment and brought out a kitchen knife and stabbed Torrence. He sustained a 2-inch laceration in his left shoulder. The girl, who turned 15 Monday, faces a juvenile petition for assault. Torrence and Moore were charged with fighting.
lows people to prescription “shop” for doctor prescribed drugs. Auten told the subcommittee during its March meeting that from 2001 to 2008, the Department of Health and Human Services identified only two deaths in Rowan County of children under the age of 18 that were directly connected to pharmaceuticals. However, for that same time, there were 341 deaths attributed to legally prescribed medications. Assistant District Attorney Karen Biernacki told the group that the sell of prescription medications has basically taken over the sell of cocaine. Those who typically sell cocaine have “branched out” into prescription pill sells, she said. Member Carl Ford mentioned that it’s easy for pharmacists to talk to each other because their computers are linked, but when someone takes a prescription to several different pharmacies in multiple counties, that’s when it gets difficult. Child Protective Services Supervisor Wendy Baskins said they’ve had clients who’ve gotten teeth pulled in order to receive a prescription for painkillers. Dr. Nilous Avery, who is also a community representative, said it starts by educating children about the dangers. Dr. Walter Hart, assistant superintendent for administration, said it’s taught in the schools, but, unfortunately, when the students leave school they don’t get the same instruction. The Community Child Protection Team is comprised of agency representatives, child advocates and residents who identify and address gaps in child protection services. The team operates in the capacity of a resident review panel, which is has done since 1996. The group, which meets quarterly, will host its next meeting Sept. 14 in the Stanback Room of the Rowan Public Library.

2 charged in connection with ATV theft Deputies following the trail left by a stolen ATV and stolen dirt bike, found both — plus more. The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office has charged two western Rowan men in the thefts and the two may face additional charges in Cleveland. WRIGHT Deputies c h a r g e d R i c h a r d Wright III, 16, 1880 Hildebrand Road, and Chris Grindstead, 21, 505 Barber Junction Road, Cleveland. Both are charged with breaking and entering of a building and larceny of a motor vehicle. Capt. John GRINDSTEAD Sifford said deputies responded to a call at the Tony Barber residence on old U.S. 70 on May 27. Barber reported a Honda dirt bike and a Honda ATV had been taken from a shed some time between May 23 and 27. While deputies were on the scene, a neighbor reported seeing ATV tracks going into the woods nearby. Following the tracks, both the bike and ATV were located about 100 yards into the woods. Deputies found a black bag on the ATV that included 750 rounds of .380 caliber ammunition, and lesser quantities of
other ammunition, including hollow-point bullets. Barber told deputies that the ammunition wasn’t his. Investigators believe the ammunition was taken, along with guns, in a break-in in the town of Cleveland.

Kannapolis Scholars arrive for summer at N.C. Research Campus BY EMILY FORD
eford@salisburypost.com
KANNAPOLIS — Six students from universities across the state arrived at the N.C. Research Campus over Memorial Day weekend. The students are the first crop of Kannapolis Scholars at the campus, a life sciences complex in downtown Kannapolis founded by billionaire Dole Food Co. chairman David Murdock. The scholars will spend 10 weeks this summer working with renowned researchers in state-of-the-art labs. Each student is paired with mentors from at least two of the eight uni-
versities at the Research Campus. Christine Bradish, an N.C. State University graduate student in horticultural science, will research phytochemical variation in North Carolina-grown raspberries. Ultimately, she hopes her research will boost the state’s economy by developing a raspberry industry. The scholars program is a firstof-its-kind transdisciplinary training program that brings postgraduate students to the Research Campus to study food science, nutrition and human health. The campus is a perfect fit because of the diverse faculty and disciplines that come together at one
site, according to Dr. Jack Odle, director of the Kannapolis Scholars program. “We have the goal of training the scholars to become interactive scientists so they will not only study deeply in their chosen discipline, but they also will be expected to interact significantly with colleagues in allied disciplines,” Odle, a professor of nutritional biochemistry at N.C. State University, said in a statement. N.C. State directs the program, which is supported by a $1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. At least 20 student scholars will come to the Research Campus in the next four years.
BRIEFS Energy rebates start today CHARLOTTE — Phase one of N.C.’s Cash for Appliances program was wildly successful, with more than $7 million dollars of available rebate funds being used up in a matter of days. Today, the final phase begins and it offers consumers rebates to trade-in their old appliances for new, energyefficient appliances marked with the Energy Star logo. The difference between the first phase and this phase is that more appliances are eligible for the rebate program, including air conditioners, water heaters, heat pumps and furnaces. This federally-funded program is being administered by individual states. The State of N.C. has $1 million remaining for the second phase of the Cash for Appliances program and the money is expected to be depleted quickly. The amount of the instant rebate equals 15 percent of the cost of the new appliance being purchased. For example, if you buy a new refrigerator at a cost of $1,500, the instant rebate to you will be 15 percent or $225 which would reduce the cost you will pay to $1,275. Many retailers are offering incentives and discounts on top of the 15 percent rebate. According to BBB President Tom Bartholomy, “If you need a new refrigerator or other eligible appliance, now is definitely the time to buy.” If you need new appliances, the BBB has this advice for you: • Buy early. The rebates end when the money runs out and that could happen the first day. • Know what appliances are eligible. The only appliances that qualify for the 15 percent rebate are ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerators, freezers, washers and dishwashers and certain types of water heaters, heat pumps, air conditioners and furnaces. Stoves, microwaves, dryers and other appliances are not included in the rebate program. • Allow time. Appliance retailers are expecting a huge influx of business. Be sure to allow ample time. When you go to a store to buy an eligible appliance, the store will have to enter your purchase into the online rebate program to insure that there is still money left in the rebate fund. • Dispose of old appliances properly. You are required to trade in your old appliances when you purchase new ones during this

A Spencer woman will place her dogs in a six-month quarantine after they were exposed to a rabid fox. This is the sixth case of rabies reported this year, the Rowan County Animal Control said. Animal control received a dead fox May 25 that Delores High, of Pinetree Drive, reported was in a dog lot with her two dogs. The dogs, a female labrador mix and a male pekingese mix, are not current on their rabies vaccinations, High told animal control. They will be held in quarantine at the shelter until notification of the test results. The fox was submitted for rabies testing, which were returned May 26. The fox was positive for rabies and the dogs will be quarantined for six months.

RALEIGH (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court has largely ruled in favor of North Carolina in a decadeold suit with other Southeastern states about low-level radioactive waste. The justices upheld Tuesday the decision of a special master that the Southeast Compact Commission and four of its states couldn’t win back tens of millions of dollars given to North Carolina to build a waste site never completed in Wake County. The primary opinion from Justice Antonin Scalia agrees with the master that the compact’s terms didn’t allow the commission to impose monetary sanctions on North Carolina.

N.C. Senate panel recommends $451M borrowing package by a committee led by State Treasurer Janet Cowell. For years, Democrats have identified this target as one they didn’t want to surpass. The package would add another $39 million to the more than $600 million in debt service the state already must pay annually on more than $6 billion in debt. “Would you do that in your personal life if you found out they were going to cut you back one day a week,” said Senate Minority Leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham. “Are you going to go out and buy a new car? I don’t care how much you need and want. You’re not going to be doing that. And we shouldn’t be doing that for the state.” The additional debt would raise the state’s annual debt
N.C. House developing plan if Medicaid money fails RALEIGH (AP) — House Democrats said Tuesday they’re still planning to run a state government budget through the chamber this week that relies on nearly $500 million in extra Medicaid money, although Congress can’t decide whether to give it. The U.S. House of Representatives approved a $112 billion spending package last week that left out a provision that would have given $24 billion in matching Medicaid funds to the states to extend a more generous formula for six more months, through June 2011. The state Senate and House budget proposals for North Carolina are balanced based on the expectations the state will receive its share of the Medicaid money, or $490 million. House budget-writers are assembling a backup plan that would direct Gov. Beverly
Perdue on how to handle the shortfall should Congress ultimately withhold the money, said Rep. Mickey Michaux, DDurham, senior co-chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. While Michaux is worried Capitol Hill won’t provide the funds, House Speaker Joe Hackney was more optimistic, pointing out that at least 29 states have already approved budget plans for the coming year. Most are counting on that money, Hackney said. Congress is on recess this week. “We think there’s a good chance the (Medicaid) money will be there,” said Hackney, D-Orange. “Before we finish this budget process, we will either know the answer or we will have contingencies in place to take care of any shortfall.” If the state House approves an $18.9 billion spending plan for the coming year
by Friday, Democrats in both chambers will negotiate a final budget plan they want to vote on and send to Perdue before the new fiscal year begins July 1. The plan, which cleared the House Finance Committee late Tuesday, was expected to be heard by the full House Appropriations Committee starting Wednesday for amendments and other debate. The Finance Committee rejected along party lines Republican amendments that would have lowered the individual income tax rate for small business owners from 7.75 percent to 6.9 percent and created tax credits for parents of children in private school or are homeschooled. Like the Senate plan approved two weeks ago, the House measure contains no broad-based tax increases or pay raises for schoolteachers and state employees. The House plan would shift
Cunningham courts seniors, defends benefits RALEIGH (AP) — Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Cal Cunningham sought Tuesday to earn the support of elderly voters — a key demographic for this month’s runoff primary. Trying to strike a contrast with rival Elaine Marshall a month after she won a first round of voting, Cunningham said he would work to keep the Social Security retirement age at current levels. He questioned a comment Marshall made two months ago when she told The Associated Press that lawmakers are going to have to look at whether to raise the retirement age to keep Social Security finances in order. Marshall pointed out that the life expectancy of the average American is on the rise. “With an aging electorate, some hard choices are going to have to be made on some of
these programs,” Marshall said at the time. Americans can get full Social Security benefits at age 67, which is up from 65 for those born before 1937. Cunningham said Social Security would be fine if lawmakers didn’t continue to raid the program’s funds. The Social Security trust funds have built up a $2.5 trillion surplus over the past 25 years but the government has borrowed that money to spend on other programs. It’s an issue Cunningham is raising to draw a distinction between himself and Marshall, who won a first primary vote last month. The two face each other in a June 22 runoff. “At the heart of it, the difference is that I’ll fight against raising the retirement age and she won’t,” said Cunningham, a Lexington attorney and for-
mer state senator, after an event at a Raleigh retirement community. “A lot of folks have made life-planning decisions in expectation that the money that they’ve paid into Social Security will be there for them.” A spokesman for Marshall, North Carolina’s secretary of state, said she simply wants to keep her options open as life expectancy rises. Hunter Bacot, the poll director at Elon University, said it’s clear that Cunningham needs the support of elderly voters. He said that demographic could be particularly pivotal in the runoff election because elderly voters consistenetly turn out in large numbers. “He’s got to do something to appeal to a group that is likely to turn out and likely to be pivotal,” Bacot said.
more financial pain to the University of North Carolina system than the House proposal due to deeper spending cuts and because the House would use $90 million in additional lottery profits to preserves jobs in public school classrooms. The House also would limit UNC enrollment growth to 1 percent in the 2011-12, although that could be removed next year.

service to an amount equal to 4.25 percent of state revenues used for operating expenses. An annual debt study created by Cowell’s committee recommended that North Carolina’s debt service stay at or below 4 percent to help protect its top-level credit rating. Deputy Treasurer Vance Holloman pointed out the study placed a ceiling on the debt of 4.75 percent. But one of the primary bill sponsors, GOP Sen. Richard Stevens of Wake County, said the state remains very conservative when it comes to borrowing. North Carolina is one of seven states without the top-level rating. The state could save up to 30 percent on construction cost as interest rates remain low and contractors are looking for

Even if the bill passes the Senate, it may have rough going this year in the House, which has drawn up a more austere budget than the Senate and may be less inclined to spend more. “I think there’s less interest in the House in capital (projects) this time than there may be in the Senate,” said House Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange. “We Want To Be Your Flower Shop”

There would also be $130 million for repairs and renovations to state and university buildings and $55 million to buy equipment for community colleges and University of North Carolina system campuses. Most GOP senators on the committee voted against the package, saying it makes no sense to borrow when the state could face a $3 billion shortfall next year.

RALEIGH (AP) — A Senate panel recommended Tuesday that North Carolina borrow $451 million for construction and equipment purchases in state government and on college campuses, with boosters arguing it’s right to incur debt despite the sour economy because it’s an inexpensive time to build. A majority on the Senate Finance Committee agreed with university leaders urging approval of the debt package, more than half of which would go to complete engineering buildings at North Carolina State University in Raleigh and North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro. The chancellors of both schools told the panel the building would prepare thou-

RALEIGH (AP) — Mothers who believe expanded DNA collection would have brought swifter justice for their murdered daughters faced off Tuesday against rights groups who warned against expanding databases of genetic markers. A state House judiciary committee then advanced a bill that would direct that DNA samples be collected from suspects arrested for serious crimes, rather than waiting for a conviction. The data would be destroyed if charges are dismissed or a suspect was never charged. Lawmakers are grappling with how to balance the promise of DNA tools. They are trying to tailor the good of preventing some crimes by identifying and locking up repeat offenders sooner against fears of misusing an individual’s most intimate biological identifiers. “We’re all concerned about this slippery slope that we’re getting ready to get on,” said Rep. Larry Hall, D-Durham. The federal government and nearly half the country’s states have laws allowing collection of DNA samples without waiting for proof of a suspect’s guilt. They include Alaska and Tennessee, which passed laws after suspects in high-profile slayings were identified with the help of DNA databases.
The mothers of both victims urged North Carolina lawmakers to pass similar legislation. “Fewer cases will go cold,” said Karen Foster, who now lives near Fort Lauderdale, Fla. “It will prevent so many crimes and it keeps the innocent out of jail” when DNA shows a suspect can’t be the perpetrator. Her daughter, 18-year-old Bonnie Craig, was raped and killed in 1994 after leaving the family’s Anchorage home to attend classes at the University of Alaska. Kenneth Dion was charged with the crime in 2007 and Foster said his trial is pending later this year. Dion had been serving a prison term in New Hampshire for a string of armed robberies. New Hampshire collects DNA samples from convicted criminals, but a backlog of samples meant Dion’s DNA was not taken until two years after his 2003 conviction. New Hampshire collects DNA only from those convicted of certain violent crimes. The state’s legislature is considering expanding DNA testing to all convicted felons. Joan Berry’s daughter, college student Johnia Berry of Bristol, Tenn., was stabbed to death in 2004 in Knoxville, where she planned to attend graduate school at the University of Tennessee. The 21year-old was attacked in bed
by a burglar. Berry’s parents spent 2 1/2 years publicizing their daughter’s unsolved case. A suspect who had voluntarily submitted his DNA after being charged with violating his probation was charged with Berry’s slaying. The man apparently hanged himself in jail while awaiting trial. “It’s my prayer no family will have to go through what we did,” Berry said. But spokesmen for the American Civil Liberties Union and the gun-rights group Grass Roots North Carolina warned that expanding DNA collection poses problems. The state has too often seen data lost or stolen to believe that it couldn’t happen to DNA data, said Grass Roots North Carolina spokesman John Landreth. “When you have someone’s DNA sample, that is valuable,” he said. Someone may “pay money for that.” While lawmakers have improved the bill’s protections, the ACLU believes DNA data is different from photos and fingerprints of suspects and violates the U.S. Constitution’s ban against unreasonable government searches and seizures, policy director Sarah Parker said. “It’s an end-run around the Fourth Amendment,” Parker said.

Yogurt’s Progress
www.salisburypost.com
Yogurt crosses cultures with new styles, imports BY MICHELLE LOCKE Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Every culture sees its share of trends. Even yogurt. And as yogurt hipsters know, the days of fruit-on-the-bottom and pina colada-flavored puddings are so passe. An explosion of yogurt options has given Americans bold new choices, from goat’s milk to Greekstyle to soy and even coconut milk yogurts. And have you tried the Icelandicstyle brands like siggi’s? It’s a stickto-your-ribs product that Errol Schweizer, senior global grocery coordinator for Whole Foods Market, describes as “sort of like Greek yogurt for Vikings.” Yogurt’s cultural transformation is most noticeable at upscale grocers. Atlanta copy editor Lauren Vogelbaum jokes that when a Whole Foods opened near her apartment a few years ago, “I was introduced to a new universe of yogurt.” But mainstream markets also have seen a change, as products once limited mostly to natural food stores — such as Greek-style strained yogurts and kefir (KEEfer), a drinkable, fermented dairy product — have become widely available. “There’s been a big increase in the number of yogurts and the different cultures available,” says Robert Garfield, senior vice president of public policy and international affairs for the National Yogurt Association, a nonprofit industry group based in McLean, Va. Though the recession slowed yogurt sales in 2009, especially yogurt drinks, sales of both grew 32 percent between 2004 and 2009, reaching nearly $4.1 billion in sales, according to market research company Mintel. Icelandic yogurts are dense nutrient-packed products that are so thoroughly strained they can be classified as soft cheeses. Two brands are sold in the United States — Skyr.is, imported from Iceland, and siggi’s, made in America by Siggi Hilmarsson, an immigrant from Iceland. The Skyr.is brand, available exclusively at Whole Foods, is currently available on the East Coast, as well as cities including Denver and Seattle, with plans to roll out the product in other regions this year.

The yogurt section is shown at a Whole Foods Market in San Francisco. An explosion of yogurt options has given Americans bold new choices, from goat’s milk to Greek-style to soy and even coconut milk yogurts. The brand is “just growing bigger and bigger,” says Blair Gordon, president of E&B’s Natural Way company, which is based in Frederick, Md., and imports Skyr.is. Hilmarsson’s yogurt ventures began about six years ago in New York during his first Christmas away from home. In an effort to capture a taste of home, he decided to make strained yogurt following his grandmother’s recipe. The sort of temperature control needed to produce yogurt is tough in a New York apartment, but he persevered, moving up to a professional test kitchen and eventually creating a product that caught the attention of local stores. Today, siggi’s is available nationally at Whole Foods and other chains, such as Wegmans. Yogurt, which is made by adding bacterial cultures to milk, has long been recognized as a healthy food.
(In this case, the bacteria are good for you, aiding digestion, among other things.) But sweet-toothed Americans have balked at the tangy taste of the real thing. For years, American “yogurt” was more pudding than culture. “The issue for Americans is getting used to the natural fermented flavor of the product,” Garfield says. These days the big sellers are low-fat and nonfat brands, and there’s a move toward reduced sugar, he says. A persistent issue with American yogurt has been whether you’re getting a product containing live cultures. The National Yogurt Association issues a seal to products that have a specified amount of live and active cultures. Some of the new products aren’t cheap — siggi’s, which comes in seven flavors, all nonfat — typically
runs more than $2.50 for a 6-ounce carton. Many mainstream brands, even some organic varieties, sell for less than $1. Hilmarsson notes that since his product is strained, producing a hearty yogurt that is thick and tart. He says you are getting more protein per ounce. He also pays a premium for milk from New York state farmers who don’t use hormones or antibiotics, a cost that does get passed on. Some people aren’t ready for that much yogurt attitude. Vogelbaum, who blogs about food and books at the website “Do Not Feed the Editor,” tried the orange and ginger flavor and found it to be a very intense yogurt experience in a “not delicious” way. But she thought siggi’s pomegranate and passion fruit flavor was “on the tolerable side of sour, and tasty.” On the other hand, Lauren Slay-
ton, a New York nutritionist, tried siggi’s orange and ginger and “it was love at first taste,” she said. “It’s always so nice when the product kind of reads your mind and comes out exactly as you would have designed it.” She recommends siggi’s as a post-workout snack for protein and the orange and ginger for prenatal clients. At home, she uses plain siggi’s for tuna and chicken salads as well as smoothies. Hilmarsson, who started making Icelandic yogurt partly because he was put off by sweet American yogurts, takes a tolerant view. It’s fine with him if you want to add a little honey. But, he says, don’t be afraid of the tart. He often gets e-mails saying, “Hey, Siggi. Your yogurt — it was a mouthful at first; it was very tart, but now I can’t eat anything else. Everything else tasted too sweet to me.”
A healthy summer soup BY JIM ROMANOFF Associated Press
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Chilled zucchini and green bean soup with a pesto swirl.
The perfect bowl of soup makes a satisfying meal that’s filling, yet low in calories and high in nutrition. But in the heat of summer, most people give it a pass. But this recipe for chilled zucchini and green bean soup with a pesto swirl could change your mind about soup in summer. Sauteed zucchini and sweet onions are simmered with two kinds of beans, then pureed into a soup that’s creamy without being fatty. A swirl of store-bought basil pesto and a dollop of reduced-fat sour cream provide a luxurious finish. The soup can be served at room temperature or chilled, so it makes a nice cooling lunch or entree on a hot summer evening. Plus, this recipe makes a good template for what a healthy soup should be: based on a reduced sodium broth and packed with low-calorie, nutritious and filling vegetables. Using beans, such as the edamame in this soup, provides an added bonus of hunger-satisfying protein and dietary fiber. Beans make an excellent base for soups that will seem rich. Combine them with a bit of broth or water, and puree to get velvety smooth results. If you like, use convenient canned beans, but be sure to rinse them under cold water to wash away some of the salt that is in the canning liquid. To complete the meal, serve this soup with a salad and some crunchy whole-grain pita chips or breadsticks.
Chilled Zucchini and Green Bean Soup with a Pesto Swirl Start to finish: 1 hour (15 minutes active) Servings: 6 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil 1 small sweet onion, chopped 1 pound zucchini, ends trimmed and thinly sliced 4 C. reduced-sodium chicken broth 10-ounce package frozen shelled edamame 1 ⁄2 pound green beans, ends trimmed 1 ⁄2 tsp. salt, or to taste 1 ⁄4 tsp. ground white pepper, or to taste 1 ⁄4 C. store-bought basil pesto 1 ⁄2 C. reduced-fat sour cream (optional) In a large saucepan over medium-high, heat the oil. Add the onion and zucchini and saute until very soft, about 10 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir in edamame and green beans and simmer, uncovered, until the vegetables are soft, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool for 15 minutes. Transfer the soup, in batches if necessary, to a blender or food processor. Puree, then season with salt and pepper. Serve soup chilled or at room temperature. When serving, divide the soup among 6 bowls and swirl a spoonful of pesto into each. Top with sour cream, if desired.

ous. The memory of Maria plagues the pure Nestor Castillo, and it’s about her that he writes the song that briefly makes him and his brother famous. Melancholy Nestor and beautiful Maria had great sex and lots of it. But she led him on, rejected him and may be to blame for worse. Even on the ride to Havana to find her future, the teenage Maria gets credit for a man’s frustration. For the driver who picks her up, a pig hauler with a big heart and a “gargoyle” face, it’s an achievement to leave her virginity intact. But the emotions and the depth of character that might have occupied another novelist, especially a woman, weren’t on the bill Hijuelos set out to fill. Instead, Hijuelos is imagining what all Cubans must have longed for, even decades after they fled the harsh realities that befell their island when Castro took power. “Beautiful Maria of My Soul” is an evocative love note to a nation that may never have existed — as well as a woman.

Hijuelos writes ‘Mambo Kings’ back story “Beautiful Maria of My Soul” by Oscar Hijuelos (Hyperion, 338 pages, $25.99): Oscar Hijuelos’ prequel to his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, “The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love,” starts out innocently enough. Actually, it ends innocently, too. And most of what’s in between is a meditation on innocence. The innocence of Cuba before Fidel Castro, the innocence of a melancholy musician’s soul and the innocence of a teenage girl who grew up poor and neglected and mostly alone. But the novel is less a narrative than a lyrical incantation to sex. Intoned against the backdrop of pre-revolutionary Havana’s famous beaches and infamous nightlife, it retraces the life of the voluptuous Maria of the title. We suspect even as she leaves the rural valley where she was raised, a hollow with no schools or plumbing, that she will be a heartbreaker. It’s inevitable because of the task Hijuelos set for himself, to tell the back story of a character whose role in the Mambo Kings is unambigu-

Dear Amy: Please address the dangers of emotional affairs in your column, especially between people who work together. I have been living through that hell with my husband, who has a female “friend” at work. Yesterday, I talked to her husband. We both agree that our spouses’ relationship is inappropriate. People we all know consider this relationship unhealthy. It is like they are addicted to each other and neither is choosing to make it stop. It started out innocently two years ago. They started hiking together outside of the office. It seemed OK at the time. But by last spring, my husband was deleting phone records and text messages from his phone before I could see them. He started hiding his phone, sometimes sleeping with his phone so I couldn’t see it. When I finally looked up the phone records, there were hundreds of phone calls and text messages between them. We are in counseling; his phone and phone records are available to me at any time. I told him he could only see her at work. So now, they get coffee together every day. They visit in each other’s offices every day. People at work are talking. They could lose their jobs. He flat out refuses to stop being her friend because it isn’t an affair. They both say they’re “just friends” and the husband and I are at our wits’ end. — Worried Wife
Dear Worried: Workplace relationships can easily turn into emotional (and physical) affairs. Technology has made it easier to maintain the connection — and keep it secret. Judging from the content of my mailbag, emotional affairs are an increasing problem. The prevailing response for couples trying to recover from an emotional affair is what your therapist is suggesting — total transparency. But transparency doesn’t achieve its intended goal if the relationship continues, exclusive of the marriage. Your husband and his “friend” should not have any personal contact. Continuing to spend time together at work has simply changed the location of their focus.

Dear Creeped: You should consider your brother-inlaw’s behavior predatory. The only access he should have to family members is if they initiate it. You should get caller ID for your mother’s phone and tell her to check it for all incoming calls. She should not take any calls from numbers she doesn’t recognize and should not accept any collect calls. She should not open mail from him but should give it to his wife. She has already asked your brother-in-law to stop contacting her and he does not respect her wishes. No doubt he has identified her as a soft touch. I realize this is challenging, but the safest course is to consider this person a danger to your family. Your mother should not respond to any contact from him and should never facilitate him
contacting other people. If this is a continuing problem, contact the prosecutor who worked his case or ask for guidance from the office of the warden at the facility where he is incarcerated.

This week at the Farmers Market you will see a lot more locally grown produce. It is the time of year for cucumbers and squash to be front and center, and you can acquire these from any of the farmers there. Growers Steve and Sue Eagle of Eagle Produce are very popular with market patrons. Each year they plant several acres of cucumbers, squash, zucchini, green beans, peas, several varieties of peppers about 15 varieties of tomatoes, Sue says. In order to have the produce patrons seem to want the most, the Eagles stagger the plantings so that they can provide us with fresh offerings all summer. They will have three or four cycles of most everything they grow. The old saying goes “you are never too old to learn,” and this is very true. Last year I learned that there are com-
mercial bee keepers that rent hives of bees to farmers to use in fields with crops that require bees to cross pollinate in order for the plants to be productive. I asked the Eagles if they subscribed to this practice and discovered that their farm has been leasing hives for about 10 years. It was very interesting to learn that the crop yield for the Eagle Farm is about 35 percent greater now than before using the rented hives. The Eagle farm has been in the family for four generations. Steve and Sue have one son and one granddaughter. I, for one, hope their land remains a family farm and provides many generations to come with fresh produce. I applaud Sue and Steve for their contribution to our community.

MAINTENANCE ISSUES AT RCCC
In need of repair
I
t’s a basic lesson that every homeowner eventually learns: Delaying critical maintenance inevitably means a higher repair bill in the long run. Problems worsen. Prices increase. Suddenly, instead of looking at a leaky roof, you’ve got ruined insulation and damaged ceiling tiles to replace as well. The same holds true for institutional structures, as officials at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College know only too well. Some North Campus facilities are now passing the 30- and 40-year-old mark, and their age is showing, especially when exacerbated by the snow and ice of a hard winter. An article in Sunday’s Salisbury Post described some of the resulting maintenance problems: A deteriorating elevated walkway that connects classroom buildings; an outdated elevator that’s inadequate to serve today’s student body; leaky roofs; dilapidated stairs; a boiler that’s past its typical life span. In the article and in a separate meeting with the Post’s editorial board, Dr. Carol Spalding, president of the college, and other RCCC leaders talked about the maintenance backlog they’re facing and the challenge of paying for it. Part of their message was that these maintenance issues have accrued in part because the lean economic times of recent years have made it necessary to constrain budget requests and defer repairs and renovations. Meanwhile, along with more deterioration, the passing years have brought a huge increase in the number of students strolling across walkways, climbing and descending stairs and using elevators. RCCC is now the ninth largest community college in the state system, and the second-fastest growing. Unfortunately, its allocation of resources hasn’t kept. A comparison of local funding shows that RCCC ranks 42nd out of 58 community colleges in terms of the local funding per full-time student. In all, college officials are asking the county commission for a non-recurring appropriation of about $3.8 million to address capital needs for renovations and repairs. That’s compared to a current proposed appropriation of $260,130 in the county budget, the same as last year. That’s a huge gap that looks even wider in a year when both state and local officials are looking at cutbacks across many areas of spending. RCCC officials acknowledge the economic realities. But crumbling concrete and those leaky roofs are a reality, too. Under the state’s funding structure, the county is responsible for building upkeep, and short of a bond referendum similar to the one N.C. voters approved a decade ago, RCCC has few other options. RCCC is a vital resource for the community, and there should be no doubt that these capital needs must be addressed. The only question is how much the county can and will currently commit — and how much work will have to be put off once more, adding to future repair bills.

SALISBURY POST
nce in a while, I discover a book that makes a difference. I recently read such a gem, Paul Loeb’s “Soul of a Citizen: Living with Conviction in Challenging Times.” Loeb recently spoke with me by telephone from his home in Seattle. “Soul” is the result of 35 years of Loeb’s work examining the psychology of social involvement. It shows how ordinary citizens can do extraordinary things by making their voices heard and by making their actions count in a time when apparent hopelessness is all around. “Soul” examines how people get involved in larger community issues for social change, and it shows what stops people from getting involved and what makes BILL give up. MAXWELL them Take the example of Virginia Tech student Angie De Soto, who was the poster child for apathy. She was so uninvolved in events around her that she spent the night of the 2004 election chugalugging instead of voting. Later, after becoming outraged over assaults on the environment, she became interested in global climate change and created a groundbreaking environmental sustainability plan. We are taught that a successful democracy needs an educated electorate. Loeb takes it a step further, suggesting that more than education is needed. “In the personal realm, most Americans are thoughtful, caring, generous,” he writes. “We do our best by family and friends. At times we’ll even stop to help another driver stranded by a roadside breakdown, or give some spare change to a stranger. But too often, a wall separates
each of us from the world outside, and from others who have likewise taken refuge in their own private sanctuaries — what we call the gated community of the heart. “We’ve all but forgotten that public participation is the very soul of democratic citizenship, and that it can profoundly enrich our lives.” Loeb contends that many people do not get involved in causes and issues because they believe that they must be experts or must be as eloquent as Gandhi or the Rev. Martin Luther King. He points out that
“... Public participation is the very soul of democratic citizenship.” PAUL LOEB
Author, ‘Soul of a Citizen’
Gandhi himself said that engagement does not require perfection. Early in his career as a lawyer and long before he became famous, Gandhi was so shy that he could not utter a sentence when he argued for his clients in court. He lost all of his cases. After Gandhi discovered the right causes and got engaged, he found his voice, and, well, the rest is history. People should not be impulsive when they get involved, Loeb writes. Instead, they should identify worthy groups that take on worthy issues and then get involved. He says that people need to believe that individual involvement is worthwhile and that what they might do in the public sphere will have positive results. As many ordinary people who have been tempted to get socially engaged
know, obstacles — some physical, some psychological, some spiritual — are everywhere. Those who press forward do so, in part, by mustering the courage to confront reality. “If we’re to heal our society and heal our souls — which, in my view, go handin-hand — we need to understand our cultural diseases of callousness, shortsightedness, and denial of difficult challenges,” Loeb writes. “But even more fundamentally, we need to acknowledge and confront the pervasive sense of powerlessness that afflicts our society.” Of all of the books I have read in recent years about citizen engagement, “Soul” is free of the jargon and the selfrighteousness common to so many books of this kind. It truly is, as the publisher states, “an antidote to political demoralization, paralysis, and powerlessness.” The original edition of the book was published 10 years ago and sold nearly 100,000 copies. Loeb revised it, he said, after receiving thousands of e-mails from people who had been inspired to act in their communities after reading it. Social activists, veteran organizations, individuals and others who want to make a difference in their communities use “Soul” as their handbook. Many colleges and universities nationwide assign the book to their first-year students. “Soul” inspires people to act and to take a stand. “When we do take a stand,” Loeb writes, “we grow psychologically and spiritually.” I recommend this book to people who care about their communities and who want to live with conviction during these turbulent times. • • • Bill Maxwell is a columnist for the St. Petersburg Times.

While in the process of preparing for our regular Friday night festivities here at The Blue Vine, my husband, Chris beckoned for me to join him outside on the sidewalk. As I exited our shop, my ears were bathed with the sweet strains of a saxophone wafting on the breeze out over our block of South Main Street. Folks strolling by stopped, looked around and then up toward an open window on the third floor of the Meroney Theater. Everyone passing by paused, each face alight with wonder as we listened to an unseen musician sending his magic out to us through the air. Every note was pure, sweet, mellow, sending us “Over the Rainbow,” just as surely as Dorothy ever was. There was a breathless moment as the last note echoed and faded away and we all burst into spontaneous applause for the unknown artist who had just transformed these brief moments in our day into the extraordinary! We hooted and hollered and clapped like crazy, and the surprised face of a young man appeared at the window, grinning self-consciously. Folks waved their thanks and began drifting away, smiles wreathing each face. I later found out that the young man was in the orchestra for the Piedmont Players Theater’s production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” at the new Norvell Theater and that he’d found the perfect place to warm up prior to the show. I’d like to thank this talented young man, Perrell Brown, for lifting us up through your music. You really made our day. Thank you! — Rose Meeks Jones Salisbury
Intersection dangers persist I am writing this in hopes that I will find the help that we need to get something done. The intersection of Briggs Road and Sherrills Ford Road has been a dangerous intersection for years. Last summer, my 18-year-old son, Gregory Terry, was the first fatality at this location. Since the year 2000, there have been more than 35 accidents there, costing citizens of Rowan County thousands of dollars in damages and hospital bills. The community sent more than 5,000 signatures, petitioning the NCDOT for a stoplight. DOT informed me that this area does not have enough traffic coming through to get a light. Their longterm goal is for a traffic circle. At a

cost of more than $600,000, and about six years later, it may or may not be done. We have three different schools within five miles of this intersection. They have buses going through here every school day. There must be a way to get this done sooner. What happens when a bus load of kids is hit, or another person’s life is lost? There has to be funding available somewhere. Any help anyone could provide with this situation would be greatly appreciated. Any direction you could point me in, I will go. — Mendee Williams Mt. Ulla
More on celiac symptoms I hope the May 26 article about going gluten free helped some people to consider this disease as a possible cause for their health issues. One of the quotes in the article was not correct, however, and I believe it deems mentioning. It was written that my son, Asa, had symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea and queasiness. The fact is, he did not have ANY of those. This is exactly one of the reasons the disease can be hard to pinpoint. Consequently, there was never any “misdiagnosis.” Please ask your readers to consider the fact that you do not need those symptoms present in order to have this disorder. There are websites like the Celiac Sprue Association which can relate reliable information about this often misdiagnosed disease. The good news is that there are many products available locally and on the Internet and restaurants that offer options. I hope your readers find this encouraging! — Susanna Hollingsworth Salisbury

orth Carolina shares a dubious distinction with Alabama, Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. It is one of only five legal jurisdictions in the U.S. that recognize contributory negligence. That term means that when a person is in an accident that is overwhelmingly not his or her fault, that person cannot recover damages in a suit if it is found he or she in any small way might have contributed to the accident. That’s why insurance companies love it. It gets them off the hook if one of their clients is at fault but can show that the other person, the victim, might have been even a little bit negligent. The insurance industry is campaigning hard to preserve contributory negligence in North Carolina, as it fears a state Housepassed bill that would institute another system in courts known as comparative fault. Under that system, victims could recover damages even if they were slightly to blame. They might not get what they would recover if they had been totally in the clear, but they could get something, depending on how the fault was allocated. Insurers are arguing that the change would cost consumers. They’d have to raise premiums, don’t you know, if they were exposed to awarding more damages. Better to keep a bad system that protects them in place. Lawmakers should not be fooled and state senators should not bow to the interests of an industry against consumers. They haven’t everywhere, as evidenced by the fact that overwhelmingly, other states recognize the good sense of comparative fault. Give the insurance lobby this: It has successfully fought off a more enlightened policy virtually forever. It has kept North Carolina in that tiny minority while managing to keep consumers at a disadvantage, all the while telling them the current policy is for their own good. It’s time to quit buying the bad policy the industry has been selling.

U.S. attorney general opens criminal, civil probes to investigate nation’s worst oil spill
Israel, Egypt easing blockade on Gaza JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel and Egypt signaled a temporary easing of the Gaza Strip blockade Tuesday following harsh international condemnation of the deadly Israeli raid on an aid flotilla en route to the sealed-off Palestinian territory. Egypt said it was freely opening its border with Gaza for the first time in more than a year to allow in humanitarian aid, setting off a mad rush to the crossing by thousands of residents, while an Israeli official said there is an “ongoing dialogue” with the international community on how to expand the amount of goods entering the area. At the same time, Israel began expelling some of the nearly 700 activists it rounded up in the naval raid, and strongly rejected criticism of its heavy-handed tactics. The government said late Tuesday it would deport almost all of them within the next two days, but about 50 would be held for investigation into their part in the violence on at sea. Israel pledged to halt a new attempt by pro-Palestinian groups to sail more ships into Gaza, and claimed some of the arrested activists carried weapons and large quantities of cash, raising questions about whether they were mercenaries. Worldwide condemnation has been flooding in since Israeli naval commandos halted the aid flotilla in international waters overnight Monday, setting off a melee that left nine activists dead and dozens wounded. Turkey, an unofficial backer of the flotilla, has led the criticism, accusing Israel of committing a “massacre,” and the U.N. Security Council demanded an impartial investigation.
and careful consideration.” Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider confirmed the statement came from the Gores, but declined to comment further. The Gores were telling friends they “grew apart” after 40 years of marriage and there was no affair involved, according to two longtime close associates and family friends, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because it was a personal matter. The associates said the Gores, over time, had carved out separate lives, with the former vice president on the road frequently. One of the associates said: “Their lives had gotten more and more separated.”
Al-Qaida announces death of its No. 3; U.S. says missile strike WASHINGTON (AP) — AlQaida announced Monday that its No. 3 official, Mustafa al-Yazid, had been killed along with members of his family — perhaps one of the most severe blows to the terror movement since the U.S. campaign against al-Qaida began. A U.S. official said al-Yazid was believed to have died in a U.S. missile strike. A statement posted on an al-Qaida website said alYazid, which it described as the organization’s top commander in Afghanistan, was killed along with his wife, three daughters, a grandchild and other men, women and children but did not say how or where. The statement did not give an exact date for al-Yazid’s death, but it was dated by the Islamic calendar month of “Jemadi al-Akhar,” which falls in May. A U.S. official in Washington said word was “spreading in extremist circles” of his death in Pakistan’s tribal areas in the past two weeks. His death would be a major blow to al-Qaida, which in December “lost both its internal and external operations chiefs,” the official said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information.
Death toll from Tropical Storm Agatha climbs to 179 GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — Rural villagers used hoes and pick axes to hunt for victims of landslides that have killed at least 179 people in Central America while officials in Guatemala’s capital tried to cope with a vast sinkhole that swallowed a clothing factory. Thousands remained homeless and dozens still missing following the season’s first tropical storm. Rescue crews struggled to reach isolated communities to distribute food and water. “This is a total tragedy,” said Jose Vicente Samayoa, president of a neighborhood group in Amatitlan, a flooded town south of Guatemala’s capital. Officials in Guatemala reported 152 dead but said 100 people were still missing. In the department of Chimaltenango — a province west of Guatemala City — landslides buried rural Indian communities and killed at least 60 people. Curious onlookers also gathered at a massive sinkhole that swallowed an entire intersection in Guatemala City over the weekend, gulping down a clothing factory but causing no deaths or injuries.
Al Gore to separate from wife Tipper after Suspect must speak 40 years of marriage up to claim right to remain silent
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, are separating after 40 years of marriage that included a White House run when their sunny relationship offered a counterpoint to President Bill Clinton’s philandering. According to an e-mail circulated among the couple’s associates Tuesday, the Gores said it was “a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long
WASHINGTON (AP) — Want to invoke your right to remain silent? You’ll have to speak up. In a narrowly split decision, the Supreme Court’s conservative majority expanded its limits on the famous Miranda rights for criminal suspects Tuesday — over the dissent of new Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who said the ruling turned Americans’ rights of protection from police abuse “upside
down.” Justice Anthony Kennedy, who wrote the majority opinion, said a suspect who goes ahead and talks to police after being informed he doesn’t have to has waived his right to remain silent. Elena Kagan, who has been nominated by President Barack Obama to join the court, sided with the police as U.S. solicitor general when the case came before the court. She would replace Justice John Paul Stevens, one of the dissenters. A right to remain silent and a right to a lawyer are at the top of the warnings that police recite to suspects during arrests and interrogations. But Tuesday’s majority said that suspects must break their silence and tell police they are going to remain quiet to stop an interrogation, just as they must tell police that they want a lawyer. This decision means that police can keep shooting questions at a suspect who refuses to talk as long as they want in hopes that the person will crack and give them some information, said Richard Friedman, a University of Michigan law professor.
shoot. Wearing a demure, loose black dress and a sometimes weary expression, the actress gave jurors a clipped, subdued account of returning from filming to find her $2,000 Balenciaga handbag gone from a SoHo Grand Hotel penthouse suite. Her assistant’s bag and costar Simon Pegg’s cell phone and other possessions also were taken from the room, which was being used as an actors’ lounge while the 2008 comedy “How to Lose Friends & Alienate People” was shot downstairs. “All our belongings were gone. I thought that my assistant had taken them and put them somewhere else, but everything was gone,” Dunst testified. Inside the bag were her wallet, credit and other cards, vintage Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses and $2,000 in cash, she said.

FBI dubs elusive bank robber as the ‘Granddad Bandit’ ST. LOUIS (AP) — A bald, heavyset man who has robbed 21 banks in the eastern and central U.S. is proving to be so elusive that the FBI has given him a name — the “Granddad Bandit” — and the agency announced plans Tuesday to post a digital picture of him on billboards in several states in hopes of catching him. The man, who is believed to be 50 to 60 years old, is suspected in 21 bank robberies in 12 states, the most recent on May 18 at a Regions Bank branch in St. Louis County, the FBI said. To catch him, the FBI has partnered with outdoor advertisers on a digital billboard campaign displaying a surveillance picture of the robber. The FBI describes the suspect as about 6 feet tall, white, bald and heavy. Along with Missouri, he is wanted in: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas, Florida, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Virginia. “It’s not that the individual can’t be caught,” Lowe said of the robber who has so far escaped capture for a year-anda-half. “The right person hasn’t seen this picture yet. He has to sleep somewhere. He has to eat somewhere. He has family somewhere.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — “Top kill” didn’t stop the Gulf oil spill. How about something “titanic”? Federal officials are hoping film director James Cameron can help them come up with ideas on how to stop the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The “Avatar” and “Titanic” director was among a group of scientists and other experts who met Tuesday with officials from the Environmental Protection Agency and other federal agencies for a brainstorming session on stopping the massive oil leak. The Canadian-born Cameron is considered an expert on underwater filming and remote vehicle technologies. “Avatar” and “Titanic” are the two highest-grossing films of all time.

PORT FOURCHON, La. (AP) — Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday that federal authorities have opened criminal and civil investigations into the nation’s worst oil spill, and BP lost billions in market value when shares dropped in the first trading day since the company failed yet again to plug the gusher. Investors presumably realized the best chance to stop the leak was months away and there was no end in sight to the cleanup. As BP settled in for the long-term, Holder announced the criminal probe, though he would not specify the companies or individuals that might be targeted. “We will closely examine the actions of those involved in the spill. If we find evidence of illegal behavior, we will be extremely forceful in our response,” Holder said in New Orleans. With the ambitious “top kill” abandoned over the weekend, BP’s hope to stanch the leak lies with two relief wells that won’t be finished until at least August. The company is, however, trying another risky temporary fix to contain the oil and siphon it to the surface by sawing through the leaking pipe and putting a cap over the spill. Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the national incident commander, said Tuesday that BP was making its first major cut with super shears that weigh 46,000 pounds and resemble a giant garden tool. The company will also use a powerful diamond-edged cutter that resembles a deli slicer to try to make a clean cut above the blowout preventer, then will lower a cap over it with a rubber seal.

Blue Devil seniors find closure BY JOEDY MCCREARY Associated Press
DURHAM — After scoring the goal that won Duke its first lacrosse championship, C.J. Costabile emerged from the on-field pile and saw senior Tom Clute. “He’s not an emotional guy, and to see a tear in his eye and just kind of a look of relief, like, ’We finally did it,’ I almost broke down,” Costabile said Tuesday.

Irish offer Noble Keeping up with spring football ... OUNT ULLA — Domonique Noble has lived the recruiting dream since West Rowan defeated Eastern Alamance to win its second straight 3A state championship back in December. Practically all of the big names have contacted the 6-foot-2, 185-pound defensive back. On RONNIE Tuesday, GALLAGHER one of the biggest college football traditions of all — Notre Dame — became the 17th school to offer Noble. “I understand it’s a big scholarship,” Noble said. “Not a lot of people get that.” With the school year ending next week, West’s talented junior has started trimming NOBLE the number of contenders for his services. And of course, Notre Dame is on that final list. Along with the Irish, Noble said N.C. State, Georgia Tech, Virginia, Wake Forest and Penn State are his finalists. He said there is to timetable to commit. “You always have in the back of your mind that there’s somebody else they’re offering,” Noble said. “It’s all about who decides to commit first.” • Noble was already on the national radar, but his two-interception day in the 28-21 state title game just raised his stock even more. West Rowan coach Scott Young said his star has taken it all in stride. “Domonique is a levelheaded kid,” Young praised. “It hasn’t changed his work ethic. As a matter of fact, a lot of times, when a kid starts getting this heavy interest and they know everyone is interested in them, it actually helps them work better. Domonique has taken it like that.” Noble agreed, saying, “I feel I need to work harder.”

Incredible lows. ... But to go out this way, I’m so pumped for myself, so pumped for (classmates) Max (Quinzani) and (Terrence Molinari), because we did have a difficult decision to make, and we made the right one.” Costabile did his part to help send the seniors out on top.
Duke won the school’s first NCAA championship in men’s lacrosse earlier this week by beating Notre Dame 6-5 in sudden-death overtime on Costabile’s goal 5 seconds into the extra session. From an on-the-field perspective, the Blue Devils can savor this title because it meant they’ve finally broken through their most frustrating stumbling block, having reached the title game twice before but losing both times to perennial nemesis Johns Hopkins in 2005 and ’07. What happened during the year in between made it even more significant. In a salacious case that dominated headlines for months, a woman hired to

Times set for East Rowan baseball, softball teams Staff report
The start times for state championship action involving East Rowan’s baseball and softball teams have been finalized by the NCHSAA. The best-of-three championship baseball series pitting East (29-2) against Wilson Hunt (26-5) will be played at Five County Stadium in Zebulon. Game 1, with East as the home team, is scheduled for 8 p.m. on Friday. It will follow a 1A opener between Dixon (24-5) and
West Wilkes (21-11) that starts at 5 p.m. Game 2 of the 3A finals, with Hunt as the home team, is slated for 2 p.m. on Saturday. A third game, if necessary, would be played at either 8 p.m. (if there’s a third game in 1A) or 5 p.m. (if there’s a sweep in 1A). The softball Final Four will be contested at Walnut Creek in Raleigh. East (24-1), Crest (23-1), Southwestern Randolph (22-4) and South Johnson (22-8) are still alive in the 3A bracket. Opening-round games in the double-
elimination event begin at 5 p.m. on Friday. East plays Crest in the Western final on Field 3. The winner of that game will face the SW Randolph-South Johnston winner on Field 3 at 7:30 p.m. the same night. The losers of the 5 p.m. games will face off in an elimination contest at 7:30 p.m. on Field 4. The losers bracket final is scheduled for 11 a.m. on Saturday, and the championship round begins at 1:30 p.m. A second title game, if necessary, would be held at 4 p.m.
Oden will run for USC Upstate BY BRET STRELOW
bstrelow@salisburypost.com
East Rowan coach Rick Roseman tried to convince the long-legged freshman in his geometry class to run cross country. Ross Oden’s response: “I don’t do distance.” Oden, who is headed to USC Upstate in Spartanburg, S.C., will keep doing distance following a fine cross country and track career at East. USC Upstate coach Jimmy Stephens took notice when Oden ran a 16:49 at the Wendy’s Invitational in early October. The 3A Midwest Regional was also held at McAlpine Park in Charlotte, and Oden helped East’s team
qualify for the state meet by placing third individually. His time of 16:28 is the best by an ODEN East runner on that well-known 5K course. Stephens was the director of track and field operations at Alabama before becoming the head coach at USC Upstate, a Division I school that competes in the Atlantic Sun Conference. “He’s got some guys that are really good, and hopefully he can get me there,” Oden said.
Oden, who didn’t run cross country as a freshman, made the all-county team three times and the all-conference squad twice. He claimed first in the county meet as a junior. This year in track, he was the county champion in the 3,200 meters and the NPC champion in the 1,600. Oden is ranked third academically in East’s senior class, and he names team accomplishments when listing his career highlights. North Rowan’s boys had won 18 of 19 county track titles, including six in a row, before East broke through during Oden’s freshman year to earn a “steak and taters” dinner from Roseman. The Mustangs have won each of the
last four county meets. Each member of East’s top seven made the 14-person allNPC cross country team this past season, and Oden helped the Mustangs tie A.L. Brown’s boys track team for first place in the 3A Midwest Regional held at East last month. “He did whatever we needed him to do as an individual,” Roseman said. “He’s just typical in track of all of our kids, just trying to squeeze points anywhere he could squeeze points out. There’s certain highlights that stand out, and I’m telling you, winning the county in track his freshman year, that was amazing.” It was just the start of a stellar four years for someone with a distaste for distance.
PITTSBURGH — A slimmed-down Ben Roethlisberger whistled practice passes to his receivers for the first time in five weeks, and a teammate didn’t need to watch video tape to know what he’d just seen. “He’s b e e n working hard at home,” defensive end Brett Keisel said. “He wants to be great ROETHLISBERGER this year. So, hopefully, he will.” Even if considerable repair work needs to be done, on the field and off it. The two-time Super Bowl champion quarterback didn’t talk to reporters after practicing Tuesday for the first time since drawing a six-game suspension April 21 for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. The penalty resulted from a Georgia college student’s allegation that Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her in a nightclub, and though he does not face criminal charges in the case, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the quarterback’s drinking and carousing failed to meet the league’s expectations for player behavior. Roethlisberger took part in voluntary practices April 19 and 20, but was barred from working out again until he underwent a league-ordered behavioral evaluation and was cleared by Goodell to resume team activities. The commissioner still hasn’t decided if Roethlisberger’s suspension will be reduced to four games. The consensus among Roethlisberger’s teammates: Good to have him back, now let’s move on — even if they realize that can’t possibly happen for months. “We’re all trying to get over this. I think we’re all already over this, we want to get ready for the season,” said lineman Willie Colon, the only Steelers teammate known to have been with Roethlisberger the night of the incident in Georgia back in early March. “We’ve got a lot of people we got to knock down. Our focus is being world champs again, and that’s where we’re all headed to.” Roethlisberger, wearing a white No. 7 jersey atop a yellow practice shirt, took all the snaps with the starters during the 90minute practice, partly because Byron Leftwich had

Lakers, Celtics to meet for 12th time BY GREG BEACHAM Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Phil Jackson knows the story by heart, even if his players only seem interested in the last two chapters. Their coach is steeped in the history of pro basketball’s most compelling rivalry, familiar with every twist in the Boston Celtics’ halfcentury of championship clashes with the Los Angeles Lakers. Jackson doesn’t mind that almost everybody playing in the franchises’ 12th NBA finals meeting, starting Thursday night at Staples Center, doesn’t have much
of a grasp on the history sewn into the uniforms they wear. So what if the deep-seated hatred between the franchises’ fans doesn’t seem to be truly savored by nearly anybody except Paul Pierce, the Los Angeles native turned Celtics star? “That rivalry is renewed ... it seems like every 20 years, and now here it is,” Jackson said. “This is our second time going back at them. It’s one that I think piques the interest of the fans of basketball.” Notice he didn’t mention the players’ interest. In the age of easy team-swapping, $100 million
contracts and offseason Vegas partying with bitter in-season opponents, there’s not much actual malice to be found between these Lakers and these Celtics. “It’s not a personal thing,” Celtics forward Kevin Garnett said before the Celtics practiced at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion on Tuesday. “They’re a great team, we’re a great team. We’re both trying to get to the same goal.” The clubs are meeting in the finals for the second time in three seasons, and the winner will walk away with the franchises’ 33rd combined title. That’s more than half of the championships in NBA history.
LeBron to appear on ‘Larry King Live’ Associated Press
CLEVELAND — One month from the start of the NBA’s free agency frenzy, LeBron James has handicapped his field of suitors. The Cleveland Cavaliers lead the pack. In his first interview since the Cavs’ season ended with a shocking, second-round loss to Boston, James told CNN’s Larry King that Cleveland has “an edge” to re-sign him when the greatest collection of free agents in league history hits the open market on July 1. King, who interviewed James at the two-time MVP’s home near Akron, asked the superstar if
Cleveland has “an edge going in?” “Absolutely,” James said in a portion of the interview released by the network. “Because, you know, this city, these fans, I mean, have given me a lot in these seven years. And, you know, for me, it’s comfortable. So I’ve got a lot of memories here. And so it does have an edge.” The interview will air Friday on CNN’s “Larry King Live,” capping the program’s 25th anniversary celebration on the network. WADE MIAMI — With a broad smile after the deals were announced, Dwyane Wade celebrated after settling four cases with various
former South Florida business partners, including one that brought a quick end to a trial involving two former associates who wanted $25 million after a restaurant deal went sour. EVANS SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Kings point guard Tyreke Evans is apologizing with a tweet after being cited on suspicion of reckless driving in California. WALKER LAS VEGAS — A judge set a court date for Antoine Walker to face felony bad check charges for failing to repay almost $1 million in gambling debts to three Las Vegas casinos.
Philadelphia not in panic mode down 2-0 BY IRA PODELL Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Stop me if you’ve heard this before: the Philadelphia Flyers’ Stanley Cup championship hopes are in big trouble. Concern has again enveloped the growing legion of hockey fans who have embraced the orange and black during this most unexpected roller-coaster ride through the NHL playoffs. While the City of Brotherly Love — with its fatalistic attitude toward its sports teams — is worried as the Flyers return following a pair of road losses to the Chicago Blackhawks, there seems to be no reason to panic. After all, this team has been down and nearly all the way out several times along the way and still managed to survive and ad-
vance. And Games 3 and 4 will be played today and Friday in Philadelphia, where the Flyers are 7-1 in these playoffs. That’s one of the only stats currently in the Flyers’ favor. “We’re glad that we’re back home now,” forward Simon Gagne said Tuesday. “Sure, we’re not really happy the way things went in Chicago. We’re down 2-0. “We’ve been there before. We’ve been down 2-0, even 3-0. So it’s not like it’s a new situation for us.” Like a Tony Gwynn or Don Mattingly, who always seemed comfortable at the plate with two strikes against them, the Flyers appear to thrive on the do-or-die pressure. By now they are quite used to it. The Flyers, at least outwardly, show no signs of fear even
though only two of 33 teams to lose the first two games of the Stanley Cup finals on the road have rallied to capture the championship. Chicago is also 7-1 away from home in the playoffs. “The Blackhawks did what they were supposed to do and they defended home ice,” defenseman Chris Pronger said. “Now it’s up to us to do the same thing. “Although many of you folk might not give us much of a chance, we’re not too worried about what you guys think. We’re worried about what we think in the locker room. We think we can win.” The Blackhawks came out on the short end after grabbing a 2-0 lead at home in 1971 against Montreal. Last year, Pittsburgh recovered from 2-0 and 3-2 holes to claim the Cup in a rematch with Detroit.

Pains diagnosed as esophageal spasms SANDESTIN, Fla. — Florida coach Urban Meyer is taking medication, feeling “fantastic” and hoping his chest pain is history. Speaking at the SEC’s annual spring meetings Tuesday, Meyer said doctors have diagnosed the chest pain that bothered him the last three years as esophageal spasms. Although he declined to discuss his health in further detail, he said he is taking medication and that his heart is completely healthy. “The biggest thing is I wanted to find out what those darn chest pains were and I did,” Meyer said. “It’s esophageal spasms and they’ve got me on some medications. I’ve just got to be smarter in the future and I’m going to be. I’m not going to let that happen again. “But the biggest thing was all that was related to what the heck were those pains going through my chest. Once you find out what it is, life gets a little better quickly.” Meyer briefly resigned in late December, citing health concerns three weeks after he was rushed to a hospital with chest pain. He changed his mind the following day and instead decided to take a leave of absence following Florida’s bowl game. Meyer said the diagnosis came in January and he’s been pain free since. Esophageal spasms often cause chest pain that can be confused for angina, causing the fear of a heart problem if undiagnosed. Symptoms can also include difficulty swallowing, the feeling that your throat is obstructed and a burning sensation. Meyer said this was the first offseason in which he stepped away for days at a time, leaving offensive coordinator Steve Addazio in charge. “I feel fantastic,” said Meyer, who will turn 46 next month. • LUBBOCK, Texas — A judge says former football coach Mike Leach’s lawsuit over his firing from Texas Tech can move forward. State District Judge William C. Sowder on Tuesday struck down Texas Tech’s claim of sovereign immunity from the lawsuit. The judge says Tech waived its immunity by its conduct. The university fired Leach on Dec. 30, two days
after it suspended him amid allegations he mistreated a player with a concussion. Leach has denied mistreating Adam James and suspects an $800,000 bonus he was to have received Dec. 31 was the reason he was fired. James has said his coach twice ordered him to stand for hours while confined in a dark place during practice. Leach’s lawsuit included claims of slander, libel and breach of contract.
NASCAR
MOORESVILLE — Red Bull Racing on Tuesday swapped the crew chiefs and key team members for drivers Scott Speed and Casey Mears, a move designed to try new personnel pairings during Brian Vickers’ absence. Vickers will miss the rest of the season while undergoing treatment on blood clots in his lungs and legs, and Mears has been filling in for him. The swap comes two days after Mears and Speed finished 29th and 30th in the Coca-Cola 600, and it reunites Mears with crew chief Jimmy Elledge. The two were paired together when both worked for Chip Ganassi Racing.
COLLEGE HOOPS
LEXINGTON, Ky. — University of Kentucky spokesman DeWayne Peevy says former basketball star Eric Bledsoe passed an extensive review process by the NCAA before joining the Wildcats.

Federer upset Associated Press
PARIS — His French Open reign suddenly over, his record streak of 23 consecutive Grand Slam semifinals done, too, Roger Federer paused briefly as he trudged off court at dusk, acknowledging the fans’ applause with a polite smile and a quick wave. He’s certainly not used to bidding adieu so soon. Bothered by the pouring rain and his big-hitting foe, the top-seeded Federer wasted a lead and plenty of openings Tuesday, succumbing to No. 5 Robin Soderling of Sweden 36, 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 in the quarterfinals at Roland Garros. If Soderling’s name sounds familiar, it’s because he stunned four-time champion Rafael Nadal in the French Open’s fourth round last year, before losing to Federer in the final. For the first time in six years, the men’s semifinals at a major tennis tournament will not involve 16-time Grand Slam champion Federer. “They all come to an end at some stage. You hope they don’t happen, but they do. It was a great run,” Federer said, before injecting a little humor by adding with a wry smile: “Now I’ve got the quarterfinal streak going, I guess.” Look at it this way: Federer had won 117 matches in a row — 117! — in the first five rounds at majors, dating to a loss to Gustavo Kuerten in the third round at the French Open on May 29, 2004 (Federer advanced twice when opponents withdrew). “I mean, I respect everyone, but I’m always — how do you say? — I’m honest enough to myself that I know I can win them all,” said Federer, who would cede his No. 1 ranking if Nadal wins the title. Among the many reasons why Tuesday’s result was so unexpected is that Federer was 12-0 against Soderling, having won 28 of the 30 sets they’d played.
NFL
FROM 1B a previously scheduled commitment and missed the voluntary practice. Coach Mike Tomlin also departed early for the same reason and didn’t answer questions. The only noticeable difference in Roethlisberger since those earlier practices is the weight he’s dropped, several players said. “He’s been on the treadmill a little bit,” Colon said. “He’s trying to get a beach body on.” Nothing’s changed with Roethlisberger’s throwing arm. He found Mike Wallace and Arnaz Battle on deep passes and, near the end of the 90-minute workout, hit Battle between two defenders along the sideline. That’s the kind of pass the Steelers haven’t seen their other quarterbacks complete this spring. Leftwich is expected to divide training camp snaps with Roethlisberger as the Steelers prepare one quarterback to start the season and a suspended quarterback to take over sometime in October. LITTLE BIG MAN HOUSTON — Houston Texans sixth-round draft pick Trindon Holliday walked into the locker room one day and found a plastic booster seat on his chair. Yes, the 5-foot-5, 165-pound Holliday is the NFL’s shortest player and his teammates jab him with playful reminders almost daily. But he’s also one of the league’s fastest rookies and if he can master the art of

Steelers’ quarterback Ben Roethlisberger works out on Tuesday for the first time since his suspension. receiving, Houston will add a unique and explosive weapon to its offense. “It’s a learning experience for me now, just trying to get these things down,” Holliday said after Tuesday’s practice. “I’m just focused on coming out, working hard every day and seeing where it all goes from there.” Holliday played running back and specialized in kick returns in four seasons at LSU, bringing back two punts and two kickoffs for touchdowns. He also was an AllAmerican sprinter and was the 2009 NCAA national champion in the 100 meters with a time of 10 seconds flat. But raw speed alone won’t cut it in the NFL, and Texans coach Gary Kubiak thinks Holliday must make vast improvements. The Texans can’t rely on Holliday for kick re-
turns only, Kubiak said, and they need him to develop into a capable receiver. MISSING COLTS INDIANAPOLIS — Three Indianapolis Colts — all Pro Bowlers last season — are skipping another round of voluntary workouts. Receiver Reggie Wayne does not traditionally show up until the mandatory offseason workouts. Indianapolis police are investigating credit card charges after Wayne told them an ex-girlfriend may have used his credit card number to make more than $93,000 in online purchases. Defensive end Robert Mathis reportedly wants to renegotiate his contract and did not attend any team workouts in May. Safety Antoine Bethea has not signed his oneyear tender with the Colts. Coach Jim Caldwell says he
Soderling is the first man to beat the French Open defending champion in consecutive years since another Swede, Mats Wilander, did it in 1984-85. Nadal, remember, was 310 in the French Open until losing to Soderling. Federer also knew full well that if he’d played a little better himself, he’d be preparing for another semifinal. Instead, it will be Soderling vs. Berdych, who advanced to his first Grand Slam semifinal by beating No. 11 Mikhail Youzhny of Russia 6-3, 6-1, 62. In Wednesday’s men’s quarterfinals, Nadal meets No. 19 Nicolas Almagro of Spain, and No. 3 Novak Djokovic of Serbia faces No. 22 Jurgen Melzer of Austria. In Tuesday’s women’s quarterfinals, No. 17 Francesca Schiavone gave Italy its first female semifinalist at the French Open since 1954 by knocking off No. 3 Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark 6-3, 6-2. Schiavone now plays No. 5 Elena Dementieva, who defeated No. 19 Nadia Petrova 2-6, 6-2, 6-0 in an allRussian quarterfinal. But Federer-Soderling rendered anything else going on around the grounds Tuesday a mere afterthought. Federer had a set point at 5-4 in the third, when there was a tremendous exchange. Federer jumped to stop an overhead smash, but Soderling flicked an over-the-shoulder backhand volley winner. Soderling then took the next two points with service winners at 139 mph and 138 mph to hold for 5-5. With Federer serving at 3015 in the next game, the first rain delay arrived, delaying play for 75 minutes. When action resumed, Federer went up 40-15 — then proceeded to lose four points in a row, including two missed forehands and a double-fault. Armed with that break, Soderling served out that set with an ace.

CHIEFS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City set a dubious pass-rushing standard in 2008, taking down the quarterback an NFL record-low 10 times. DeMarcus Ware had twice as many and 10 other players surpassed the Chiefs’ total. Last season, Kansas City made an improvement, more than doubling its total to 22. “That’s a clear-cut goal of ours of an area that’s got to improve, to at least get pressure on the quarterback,” Chiefs coach Todd Haley said. SEAHAWKS RENTON, Wash. — The Seattle Seahawks have signed tight end Anthony McCoy, their sixth-round draft pick, to a multi-year deal. The team announced the signing on Tuesday. McCoy is the first of Seattle’s nine draft picks to sign.McCoy was formerly with Seahawks coach Pete Carroll at Southern California.

GALLAGHER
Noble wasn’t even thinking of Notre Dame when the week began. He and quarterback SHERRILL B.J. Sherrill had just returned with Young from a visit to Georgia Tech. “We had a great visit,” Young said. “We were able to tour all of the football facilities, the campus, weight room and dorms.” The dorms are actually the Olympic Village from the 1996 Olympics. While Georgia Tech has offered Noble, Young said the Yellow Jackets are showing interest in Sherrill, a 6-0, 220-pounder gunslinger who is 30-0 as a varsity quarterback. His status will be known more after he attends a quarterback camp in Atlanta on June 8. “That’s huge, huge,” Young said. “I know he’s in the mix recruiting-wise. He’ll have to work out well.” • Parks, the All-American running back who finished his career third on the alltime national rushing list, will be heading to Charlottesville on June 14 to begin school and workouts.

A sweaty Noble said that as he walked out of the West Rowan weight room from a strenuous workout with this past season’s mega-stars K.P. Parks (Virginia) and Chris Smith (Arkansas). As a mentor, Young would like for Noble to follow the lead of Parks and Smith and commit before August when the Falcons begin their quest for a third straight state crown. “You want to commit to a great university before you risk the chance of injury,” Young said. What’s the formula for a college? “If a school needs three DBs in this signing class, they’ll offer 10 and the first three to commit are the only (scholarships) they have,” he said. Where will Noble go? His decision was made more difficult on Tuesday by an offer from that school in South Bend with the Golden Dome. “I’m excited,” Young said. “Domonique’s excited.” “It’s a real good feeling,” Noble smiled before heading back into the weight room. •

Braves extend lead Associated Press
ATLANTA — Troy Glaus stayed hot with a three-run homer, Tim Hudson pitched six strong innings around a rain delay, and the streaking Atlanta Braves extended with lead in the NL East with a 7-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. The Braves moved 1 1⁄2 games ahead of two-time reigning NL champion Philadelphia with their 17th win in the last 21 games, including seven in a row. Reds 9, Cardinals 8 ST. LOUIS — Scott Rolen homered twice and the Cincinnati Reds overcame a rough outing by Johnny Cueto. Pirates 3, Cubs 2 PITTSBURGH — Neil Walker hit his first major league home run to put the Pirates ahead in the eighth. The Pirates improved to 7-1 against the Cubs this season — they’re 15-30 against everyone else. Marlins 6, Brewers 4 MIAMI — Jorge Cantu hit a go-ahead double in the seventh inning as Florida became the latest team to rough up Trevor Hoffman (11.65 ERA). Hoffman took over with the score 3-all. Chris Coghlan led off with a double and scored on Cantu’s hit Ronny Paulino added a two-run single. AMERICAN LEAGUE Yankees 3, Orioles 1 NEW YORK — Miguel Tejada’s two-out, two-run throwing error allowed Javier Vazquez to win a stellar matchup with Brian Matusz. Tejada, playing his first season at third base, fielded Alex Rodriguez’s sharp grounder off reliever David Hernandez in the seventh inning, but his throw to first bounced in the dirt and Ty Wigginton couldn’t stretch far enough to scoop it. Red Sox 9, Athletics 4 BOSTON — Victor Martinez had five hits, including a career-high four doubles — one of them to break a sixthinning tie after Oakland walked the bases loaded — and the Boston Red Sox rallied from a four-run deficit. Indians 3, Tigers 2 DETROIT — Russell Branyan and Shin-Soo Choo hit homers for the Indians. Jake Westbrook (3-3) gave up a run on five hits and a walk over 7-plus innings. Kerry Wood gave up an unearned run on Alex Avila’s RBI single after Branyan’s two-out error, letting the Tigers pull within a run before earning his third save. Royals 6, Angels 3 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — David DeJesus hit a two-run triple, Jose Guillen homered and reliever Robinson Tejeda escaped a jam in the sixth. Brian Bannister (5-3) worked into the sixth inning and the bullpen pitched 32⁄3 scoreless innings to end Kansas City’s three-game skid. Tejeda got the two biggest outs, stopping the Angels with runners on second and third. Rays 7, Blue Jays 6 TORONTO — Sean Rodriguez hit a go-ahead, threerun double in a wild ninth that featured two ejections. The Blue Jays led 5-3 to begin the inning, but Carl Crawford drew a one-out walk and stole second. He was nearly picked off second but ended up at third after Kevin Gregg’s throwing error sent the ball into center field. Evan Longoria walked to put runners on the corners for Carlos Pena, who struck out looking after he was denied a timeout call by home plate umpire Angel Hernandez. Rays manager Joe Maddon came out to argue and was ejected by Hernandez. Gregg (0-2) loaded the bases by walking pinch-hitter John Jaso, then walked in a run before Rodriguez’s basesclearing double. Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston replaced Gregg with left-hander Rommie Lewis after Dioner Navarro walked. Gregg was ejected by Hernandez for arguing as he walked off the mound and had to be restrained by bench coach Nick Leyva. Rangers 9, White Sox 6 CHICAGO — Ian Kinsler drove in three runs and Craig Gentry hit a two-run single.

SALISBURY POST
Florida profiting from perfection Associated Press
MIAMI — Sorry you weren’t there for Roy Halladay’s perfect game? You can be. The Florida Marlins are putting tickets on sale for Halladay’s gem — as souvenirs, at face price. Buy one, and they’ll even count you in the official paid attendance. Halladay pitched the Philadelphia Phillies over the Marlins on Saturday night. It was the 20th perfect game in major league history, and the crowd was announced at 25,086. Marlins president David Samson said Tuesday the team sold more than 3,000 tickets in the first four hours they were available. Marlins tickets range from $12 to over $300. “No one is buying a ticket thinking they are going to the game,” Samson said. “Nobody is saying, ‘Oh, my God, I wonder who wins?’ So it’s not as if there is any consumer fraud that is going on.” The Marlins are currently last in the National League in attendance, averaging 16,764 a game. They only draw more than Toronto and Cleveland in the majors. “I certainly would not have ex-
pected that a team doing it’s job — we are a team with a low revenue ... trying to raise revenue, I would not have expected this to get any attention,” Samson said. The White Sox sold souvenir tickets to Mark Buehrle’s perfect game after he pitched one at home last July, though the souvenir stubs did not count in the attendance figure. “If you’re a Phillie fan, you’re probably going to appreciate it. It’s a neat little trinket,” fan Danny Prenat said at Tuesday night’s Milwaukee-Marlins game. “But if you’re from Miami, it’s not going to have the same value.” Said Samson: “It’s history. I don’t want to reiterate this too many times — 20 perfect games in the history of the game.” Samson said he didn’t see this as the Marlins profiteering at the expense of Halladay doing well against them. “As opposed to when teams set their prices and do platinum, gold, silver and bronze games or tier one, two and three depending on their opponents,” Samson said. “It’s baseball history, we don’t look at it that way. We’re just selling tickets.”
Tigers trade Willis Associated Press
DETROIT — The Tigers found a taker for Dontrelle Willis. Detroit dealt the left-handed pitcher and cash to the Arizona Diamondbacks for right-hander Billy Buckner, who was sent to Triple-A Toledo. The 28-year-old Willis was designated for assignment on Sunday, giving the Tigers up to 10 days to make a move with him. He was making $12 million this year. “We are paying a substantial portion of that salary,” said Detroit general manager Dave Dombrowski, adding that a couple clubs showed interest. Willis was 1-2 with a 4.98 ERA in eight starts and one relief appearance this season. He is expected to start Saturday night in Arizona against Colorado. “I’m just excited to get a fresh start,” Willis said. He joins a team that had lost eight in a row entering Tuesday night’s action and ranked last in the majors with a 5.89 ERA. “He’s had extreme success, he’s had a period of struggles, and he’s hopefully coming out of it,” Diamondbacks general manager Josh Byrnes said. “He’s always been known as a big personality, and we’ve encouraged him to be himself and breathe some life into this team, which we need.” The former NL Rookie of the Year, All-Star and 22-game winner helped Florida toward the World Series championship in 2003 but failed to remotely regain that form in two-plus seasons with the Tigers. “It was a great place to play baseball,” Willis said. “I just didn’t get it done.” Arizona manager A.J. Hinch talked to Willis shortly after the trade went down. “He’s an energetic guy who loves to play,” Hinch said. “He wears his heart on his sleeve and has a lot of charisma. He had a lot of success early in his career for his play and his personality and his approach. He brings a fresh outlook to our team, and a fresh personality.” Willis joined the Tigers as part of the trade that brought Miguel Cabrera to Detroit after the 2007 season and signed a three-year, $29 million contract extension. Willis was 2-8 with a 6.86 ERA in 24 games — 22 starts — and was put on the disabled list twice last season with what the team called an anxiety disorder, a diagnosis he disputed. One of the better hitting pitchers in baseball, he said he was thrilled to be returning to the National League. “Sometimes for an athlete it’s definitely rejuvenating that someone else wants you and someone else believes in you,” he said. Willis, who already had moved from Florida to Scottsdale, Ariz., is the only lefty on the Diamondbacks’ staff. PIRATES-BLUE JAYS PITTSBURGH — The Toronto Blue Jays traded struggling lefthanded pitcher Dana Eveland to the Pittsburgh Pirates for a minor league reliever on Tuesday. The 26-year-old Eveland will be joining his fifth major league team in the past five seasons. A former draft pick of Milwaukee, he was 3-4 with a 6.45 ERA in nine starts this season for Toronto. The Blue Jays designated Eveland for assignment on May 24, giv-
ing them 10 days to make a move with him. Toronto acquired 23-year-old righty Ronald Uviedo from the Pirates. He was 0-2 with a 3.22 ERA in 16 relief appearances for Double-A Altoona, holding opponents to a .165 average off of him. TWINS SEATTLE — Minnesota Twins second baseman Orlando Hudson rejoined the team Tuesday, two days after his entire left arm went numb following a collision with teammate Denard Span. A CT scan on Hudson showed there was no structural damage. The two-time All-Star had his left wrist reconstructed in surgery two years ago. Hudson got electric stimulation therapy, then was smiling and wearing a bionic-looking chip inside a bandage over the wrist. That was hours before Minnesota attempted to win its sixth consecutive game, against Seattle. The Twins say Hudson could be back playing before the weekend. ASTROS HOUSTON — A Major League Baseball official says umpire Bill Hohn will be addressed “in a very stern way” after a confrontation with Houston pitcher Roy Oswalt led to the ejection of the Astros’ ace. Bob Watson, the vice president in charge of discipline, rules and on-field operations for MLB, tells Houston television station KRIV that Oswalt will not be penalized further after Monday’s incident. Watson says Hohn will get a phone call from Mike Port, baseball’s vice president in charge of umpires. After missing the strike zone with a pitch against Washington’s Josh Willingham, Oswalt looked toward the first base line and yelled something. Hohn took off his mask and yelled at Oswalt, who responded, “I ain’t talking to you!” Hohn then ejected Oswalt. Before Tuesday night’s game against Washington, Oswalt said he hadn’t heard from MLB but was hoping he wouldn’t get fined. “I thought it was kind of quick on his part,” he said. “To be talking to myself on the mound and to get thrown out, I didn’t see the point of that.” “I’ve read something where one of the umpires said I showed him up, but I felt he was showing me up coming out and taking his mask off and pointing at me, when I never even looked his way,” Oswalt said. “During the time he was pointing at me ... I tried to explain to him I wasn’t talking to him. I was upset with myself on that pitch more than anything else.” OBIT VISALIA, Calif. — Former major league pitcher Jeriome Robertson, whose 15 wins led all rookies in 2003, has died. He was 33. Robertson was killed Saturday when he lost control of his motorcycle and crashed, the California Highway Patrol said. The left-hander went 15-9 with a 5.10 ERA for Houston in his one big year and topped the team in victories. Robertson was traded to Cleveland before the next season after the Astros signed free agents Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte. Robertson’s last game in the majors came in July 2004 — he hit Magglio Ordonez with his final pitch and was ejected. He later played in the minors for the Mets and Reds, and finished in 2007 in the Mexican and independent leagues.

Is PRP right for shoulder injury? Step to the plate to make the play Dear Dr. Gott: I would like your opinion about plateletrich plasma (PRP). I have an impingement in my shoulder and was told I need surgery. Do you think the PRP is an option? Dear Reader: There is an increasing demand, and rightly so, for the use of autologous (self-donated) blood products that aid the healing process. Blood contains red and white blood cells, platelets and plasma. DR. PETER The platelets are responsiGOTT ble for the production and revitalization of new connective tissue. Let me briefly discuss PRP, and then I will try to answer your question. During the procedure you are considering, about 30 to 60 millimeters of a patient’s blood are drawn and spun down in a centrifuge for 15 minutes. From that draw, between 3 and 6 ccs of PRP become available. The concentrated platelets are then injected into the patient at the site of the injury. The process was first used and documented in 1987 by a physician who performed open -heart surgery. However, it has been only about a year since it has been used in conjunction with sports-related/overuse injuries. Perhaps because tendons get very little blood, injury sites heal slowly. The thought process behind PRP is that concen-
trated platelets injected into the injury site should speed recovery. A Journal of the American Medical Association (Jan. 13, 2010) reported the use of PRP for Achilles tendinopathy and indicated the PRP injection, compared to a saline injection, did not result in greater improvement in pain and activity. Keep in mind this report was for chronic Achilles tendinopathy, not shoulder impingement. I state this only because there is little, if any, information regarding the shoulder. The New York Times covered the topic on Jan. 12, 2010, stating the treatment has become so popular that patients are willing to pay $1,000 or more out of pocket for PRP — especially after hearing that Tiger Woods had his knee injected and two football players, Troy Polamalu and Hines Ward, received injections, all with positive reports. Thousands of doctors and about 500 hospitals are offering the service today. However, the first rigorous study found that platelet injections are no more effective than saltwater. Again, this report extracted from the JAMA report is related only to acute Achilles tendinopathy. In defense of the procedure, another study in the American Journal of Sports Medicine due out soon concludes that platelet injections may help tennis elbow, but some indicate the study has a design flaw that leads them to question its conclusions. This may be worth watching for final analysis. As you can see, the jury is
out on this one, and I am a member of the jury. Thank heavens testing continues. My problem is that PRP is in its infancy and has been used for sports-related injuries for only about a year. I’m not daring enough to be on the cutting edge, nor am I willing to step up to the plate and take a stand. It’s simply too soon for my endorsement. Only you know your physician’s qualifications. Perhaps a second opinion at a large sports-medicine center or teaching hospital is appropriate. Good luck.

Spike Milligan, a comedian who was born in India but worked in Britain, said, “I’m a hero with coward’s legs. I’m a hero from the waist up.” A bridge player must be a hero from the neck up. In this deal, it is East who has to be the hero. Against three no-trump, West leads the spade queen. What should East do? The auction was straightforward but involved. South responded one heart, bidding four-card suits as he mounted the bidding ladder. West overcalled one spade with his good five-card suit and nearopening-bid values. North rebid two clubs, promising at least 5-4 in the minors. South rebid two no-trump to show
a maximum pass with at least one spade stopper. (If South were not a passed hand, this rebid would still be game-invitational.) And North raised
to game with 16 high-card points. We all learn early in our bridge career that in notrump, we return partner’s lead as quickly as possible. But we should not play thoughtlessly. Suppose East takes the first trick with his spade ace and plays back his second spade. What will happen? South will take the trick and at least eight minor-suit winners because the diamond finesse is working if declarer needs it. Instead, it is hero-or-goat time for East. He should see that the only chance for the defense lies in hearts. East must win the first trick and immediately shift to the heart jack. Then, the defenders should take one spade and four hearts to defeat the contract.
U.S. library honors Paul McCartney for pop music WASHINGTON (AP) — When it comes to popular music, it doesn’t get much bigger than the tunes Paul McCartney has written and sung over the past five decades with the Beatles and on his own. McCartney, who has been knighted by the queen of England, is being honored with Washington’s highest award for pop music this week by the Library of Congress. The Gershwin Prize for Popular Song is named for the U.S. songwriting brothers George and Ira Gershwin, whose collections are housed at the library.
McCartney has “made an impact far beyond music through his humanitarianism and activism around the world, which are emblematic of the spirit of the Gershwin Prize,” Librarian of Congress James Billington said Tuesday. The 67-year-old McCartney said he’s “slightly nervous” about performing about three feet in front of President Barack Obama in the East Room at the White House on Wednesday, when he will be presented the award. “For an English kid growing up in Liverpool, the White
House — that’s pretty special,” he said Tuesday. “He’s a great guy,” McCartney said of Obama, “so lay off him.” The former Beatle says it’s very special to win the Gershwin Prize because he grew up listening to music by the Gershwin brothers.
