BY NATHAN HARDIN nhardin@salisburypost.com

More than 750 veterans, family members and participants turned out Saturday for a special D-Day gathering at the Price of Freedom Museum on Weaver Road.

The event was held to remember military veterans, specifically those involved in World War II, as the nation observes the 67th anniversary of D-Day, the first day of the Normandy Invasion on June 6, 1944.

One of the oldest attending veterans, John Britts, 87, said it was an honor to be at the event.

“I was one of the lucky ones,” Britts said to a group of children.

Britts said it was his first time at the museum and he had just recently heard about it.

“I heard about it a month and a half ago, so I started putting my uniform together,” he said.

Surviving 360 air raids, as many as 10 a day, Britts said he participated in seven beach invasions in the Pacific islands.

Britts was one of many veterans Saturday sharing war stories.

Jimmy Carter, an 87-year-old Army veteran, recalled delivering ammunition in the same ammo truck displayed at the event. He also laughed with his family and other veter-

ans while recalling a time in Germany when he fished with grenades.

The museum showcased more than 500 uniforms, as well as military vehicles, military weapons and demonstrations.

Bobby Mault, who started the military museum in the cafeteria of the old Patterson School, said it’s a dream coming true.

“It just shows you patience and time pays off,” Mault said.

Mault started his dream 30 years ago when he began collecting uniforms, beginning with Dan Ritchie’s of China Grove. Mault started displaying his collection at his Texaco station on N.C. 152 that he has run for years.

“I want to honor the veterans and teach the younger generation how to preserve history,” Mault said.

After teaming up with the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs to provide solutions to veterans’ questions, as well as with the Rowan County Department of Education to allow more than 1,500 students to tour the museum, Mault said he feels he’s on the right track to achieve his goal.

Mault said he plans for the museum to expand into the large building of the school and include rooms specific to each military branch.

SALISBURY — The rehabilitation of historic Shober Bridge is effectively dead, a city engineer says.

And the state has invoiced the city for $171,148 in federal funds spent for bridge planning and engineering.

The federal government will help pay to rehabilitate the bridge only if the city receives the blessing of Norfolk Southern Railway for the project.

But the railroad wants the old bridge that carries Ellis Street over the tracks replaced and lengthened.

The Federal Highway Administration’s “decision effectively eliminates the rehabilitation option and the two-track bridge option from receiving funding because the railroad will support only the three-track bridge option,” Dan Mikkelson, city engineering director, wrote in a memo to City Manager David Treme.

Salisbury City Council will discuss the issue at 4 p.m. Tuesday in City Hall.

Council voted in August to pursue rehabilitation. But Norfolk Southern disagreed and continued to insist on a new bridge long enough to span a future third track.

The city had hoped for a different outcome when the N.C. Department of Transportation asked the Federal Highway Administration to decide whether the rehab plan complied with federal guidelines.

As for the invoice, Mikkelson said he believes the project qualifies for an extension or waiver of planning and engineering funds.

Historic preservationists for years have advocated for rehabilitating the bridge, one of a handful of humpback bridges left in the state.

The city owns the bridge, but the railroad has great influence over it.

“The railroad has a unique ability to stall projects they don’t like,” Mikkelson told the Post last year when the city decided to pursue rehabilitation.

“Even if they don’t have legal authority to prevent us, they certainly represent a huge obstacle to overcome,” he said.

Also Tuesday, Council will: • Recognize the Salisbury High School Men’s Golf Team for winning the N.C. 2A State Championship.

• Recognize El Latino as the only Latino newspaper in Rowan County.

Piedmont Passages: Local woman’s kindness created legacy Editor’s note: George Raynor was managing editor of the Salisbury Post for 30 years and editor for eight years before retiring in 1982.

This essay appeared in the Post on Feb. 9, 1986. hen Theresa Meroney Thomas, a young Salisbury housewife and ambitious writer, decided to write a novel, she didn’t have to look far to find her subject.

The site of the notorious Confederate prison was only a few blocks away and her head was full of stories and legends about the prison.

Her grandfather, Thomas H. Vanderford, was a rich source.

As a boy he had often been in the prison during its unGEORGE c r o w d e d RAYNOR years and had a diary given him by a Yankee prisoner.

From the diary and legends Mrs. Thomas fashioned a plot and used her grandfather’s wealth of stories and facts as background for her

W

novel “Tall Gray Gates.” Published in New York in 1942, it made no large splash in the world of books — nor was it a neglected masterpiece.

Mrs. Thomas had not mastered the art of fiction and her plot was trite. Her hero was a handsome Yankee captain nursed back to health by a pretty and charming Southern volunteer nurse.

Naturally, despite such handicaps, they fell in love.

The love affair was Mrs. Thomas’ embellishment of a legend far more touching and in its way far more loving than the boy-meets-girl tale.

Betty Marlow, the unlikely attending angel, was Mrs. Thomas’ creation. But her inspiration in real life was Sarah Johnston, who apparently lived in the 200 block of East Bank Street, just outside of the wooden railroad bridge that led to the “tall gray gates.”

Fictionalized, she appears in Mrs. Thomas’ book as Betty’s mother, a twicesanctified woman. Not only does she find space for and nurse ailing Yankee prisoners in her home, but she is also understanding about Today’s forecast 88º/61º Patchy fog in the morning

her daughter’s love for the Yankee prisoner.

The difference between Mrs. Marlow and Mrs. Johnston is the difference between fiction and fact.

There was a Mrs. Johnston, and if the bits and pieces of her activities are assembled, they suggest a person of angelic qualities, perhaps even larger and deeper in caring than the pale figure Mrs. Thomas drew.

Real person That Mrs. Johnston was a flesh-and-blood person is attested to by Charles Carrol Gray, a medical doctor held in the Confederate prison from May to July 1862.

Although Gray was only here a few months during the “easy” period, he, like Mrs. Thomas’ Yankee hero Capt. Robert Stanley, kept a diary. This was a common practice in the Civil War and Gray’s diary is found in the Southern Historical Collection at Chapel Hill.

It was written in a small book that proved inadequate, forcing him to turn the book upside down and write between the lines. Because it was almost unreadable, Gray “translated” it

after the war and added commentary, including data of later reference.

It was in these pages that Mrs. Johnston first appears … “poor old Mrs. Johnston,” he wrote, “still comes to the gate frequently with something for the prisoners to eat.”

During this period of the war, the prison was not crowded and the food supply was probably adequate, although limited and monotonous. Anything from the outside would have been highly welcome, however, if only because of its freshness and the change of diet.

Gray noted that Mrs. Johnston had a son in the Confederate service and was thus above suspicion as a Union sympathizer. In his later revision, Gray noted that a Yankee prisoner named Cox was a favorite of Mrs. Johnston.

After the war ended, Gray wrote, Cox returned to Salisbury “and hunted our poor old Mrs. Johnston, who was in great poverty, and helped her to a comfortable home in Ohio.”

In 1869, a former prisoner of war at the Salisbury prison testified before Con-

Ollie Lucille D. McDuffie Elizabeth Mae R. Shenk Irene Walter

gressman John P. C. Shanks’ committee, which was investigating the treatment of prisoners by the Confederacy.

The man stated that a local woman consistently sent in food for him and some others. He said her kindness meant the difference between life and death to him.

Louis Brown, the Statesville historian who wrote “The Salisbury Prison,” believes this unnamed woman was “our poor old Mrs. Johnston.”

Brown also found a reference to a Quaker woman who befriended a prisoner after he left the prison in February 1865. Mrs. Johnston was a Presbyterian, not a Quaker.

A similar story that surfaced in the 1930s tells of a woman who cared for an ill prisoner after he was discharged from the prison, also in February 1865.

In this case, the prisoner died and was buried by the woman in her garden. A search of burial records of the quartermaster general by historian Brown disclosed that after the war a Union soldier’s body was exhumed from a burial

place in Mrs. Johnston’s garden and reburied in what is now the National Cemetery. She hadn’t wanted him thrown into the trenches with the rest.

Brown contends that the relationship between the prisoners and the community was, while delicate, not an unkind one on the part of the community. During the more relaxed period of the early war, civilians often visited the prison and brought the prisoners food, sometimes as gifts and sometimes to trade for trinkets the prisoners made.

Prisoner interaction In the early part of the war some prisoners were even paroled and allowed to work in town. They had to swear not to take up arms against the Confederacy or communicate any information to the Unionists until exchanged. Gov. Clark, in a letter to Secretary of War Benjamin, said that for some reason not explained, prejudice in Salisbury against the prisoners had nearly vanished.

THURSDAY

YESTERDAY: Mystery train Collector John Patterson of Spencer recently acquired this rare Salisbury whiskey bottle and estimates that it’s from a period around 1901-1903. Is it named for the famous Sept. 27, 1903, wreck in which a train going from Monroe, Va., to Spencer derailed outside of Danville, Va., and killed 11 people? “I would think that it pre-dates the Wreck of the Old 97,” Patterson says. “The engine pulling the express train No. 97 was Locomotive No. 1102. The locomotive pictured on the label is No. 1059. I can’t say for sure if No. 1059 is older than No. 1102, because they are two different styles of locomotives.” A good question: Was the whiskey named before the wreck or for the wreck? H.C. Trott was a prosperous saloon owner and distiller in Salisbury. He built what historians call the Trott-Reid House at 419 E. Bank St. around 1901 and occupied it until his death in 1920. His widow, Ida, lived there into the 1940s. Leonard Reid later became the house’s owner.

Watch for warning signs to avoid heat-related risks

FRIDAY

Q. How can I prevent myself from getting heat exhaustion while exercising outside?

A. It is time to refresh everyone’s knowledge about running and playing sports in hot weather, or even just being out in it.

The most important factor is to remember to take it easy when running or exercising in hot conditions.

Even the most well-conditioned athletes have to be careful, though the fitter a person is, the better that person can cope with running in hot weather.

Some people can handle hot a lot better than cold. I am one of them and love this hot weather.

The best time ESTER of the day to run, MARSH exercise, or have practice during periods of extreme hot weather are before sunrise, or long after sunset.

With high humidity, it is better to run or practice in the morning since humidity gets worse throughout the day. If it is unavoidable to practice (and it is for most school-age children) at these times, run or practice in shaded areas such as trails and fields surrounded by trees.

Avoid running on long, open blacktop roads. The dark surfaces of roads absorb heat and create even hotter conditions.

When running on a hot track, take plenty of breaks in the shaded area near bleacher or even under it and hydrate.

As an individual, you can run

on an indoor track or treadmills or take group exercise classes that are located in a well air-conditioned area.

When running, run small circuits close to where you start.

Therefore, if you start to feel the affects of the heat you can stop before causing serious damage to your health. When you are running or exercising in hot weather it is advisable to wear lightweight and light-colored outfits. Outfits with the words “cool-max” or “dri-fit” are great.

They stay a lot dryer and they are very lightweight.

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.

Anyone exercising in heat should abundantly hydrate themselves before the start of practice. (Remember, when you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated.)

The longer the distance or the practice, the more fluid is lost.

Runners should attempt to drink throughout their workout. Some runners are able to run with fluid-filled backpacks that are designed for runners. Or plan your route so that you have water fountains/ bottles available on a regular basis. Bring coolers to the practice with cold water and sports drinks.

Likewise, it is important to drink after your practice to keep the body hydrated. Hot, humid conditions promote sweating, which can lead to dehydration.

Sweating is good for you because it cools your body, but when you lose too much water you become dehydrated.

Remember that some decongestants, such as ones allergy sufferers might take, can also contribute to dehydration; like-

wise for other drinks such as coffee and alcohol.

Do not expect that you can make up for several days of not drinking enough by downing two cups of a sports drink before your next long run, race or game.

The average person needs about eight 8-ounce glasses of fluid a day. Athletes need more: at least 16 8-ounce glasses daily.

Two hours before your daily summer workout, race or game, you should drink 16 ounces of fluid.

Ten minutes before you start, drink another one or two cups of water or a sports drink. Drinking early and drinking often is the key. It is advised you should drink immediately after finishing your workout (in intervals) Advised is a minimum of 16 ounces for every 30 minutes you exercised.

If you don’t, the following can happen: Heat cramps: a very painful cramp that rarely “work themselves out.”

What to do: • Stop running/exercising.

• Drink fluids immediately.

(Sports drinks as well as water.)

Massage the muscles once the pain begins to subside.

Cool your body with wet towel.

Get out of the sun.

Heat exhaustion: Very serious and can lead to heat stroke.

Symptoms are: • Dizziness and goose bumps.

• Nausea. Sometimes accompanied with vomiting.

• Moderate to a severe headache.

• Weak legs.

• Lack of coordination.

• Rapid pulse.

• Heavy sweating often accompanied by moist and cold skin.

• Muscle cramping.

What to do: • Stop running/exercising.

• Get medical attention • Get out of the sun.

• Drink large amount of fluids (in intervals), including sports drinks.

• Lie down and elevate your feet above your heart.

• loosen clothing.

Heat stroke, which can be fatal. Unfortunately athletes will sometimes ignore the symptoms of heat exhaustion and will continue to push themselves until they are nearing a total thermoregulatory breakdown. Symptoms are similar to those of heat exhaustion, but rapidly progress to: • Disorientation.

• Weakness in the legs to the point that the runner may fall.

• Strange behavior.

• “Fuzzy” thinking.

• Rapid pulse.

• Hot/dry skin.

• Body temp of 104 or higher.

• Lack of consciousness.

• Convulsions or seizures.

• Coma.

Someone suffering a heat stroke needs immediate medical attention. They should be moved out of the sun, cooled by either rubbing their body with ice or immersing them in cold water and given fluids intravenously.

So please follow the recommendations to stay hydrated and cool. If you don’t you are not doing this for your health anymore.

NC sterilization victims to tell their stories RALEIGH (AP) — Elaine Riddick was a frightened, pregnant 14-year-old in 1968 when her illiterate grandmother put an “X” on a piece of paper proffered by agents of the North Carolina Eugenics Board.

That “X” authorized North Carolina to sterilize Riddick, just like the state did to 7,600 mostly poor men and women between 1929 and 1974.

Riddick, who now lives in Atlanta, plans to tell her story of how sterilization led to chronic medical problems, emotional trouble and failed marriages at a special governor’s task force meeting in Raleigh on June 22. The panel is mulling how best to compensate victims of the state’s eugenics program.

“My grandmother was afraid that if she didn’t sign the paper, they would cut off her ELAINE RIDDICK benefits, like the woman sterilized canned food she got when she was 14 every week,” Riddick years old said Friday. “So she signed, without understanding what sterilization or tubal ligation really meant.”

Charmaine Fuller Cooper, director of the eugenics compensation task force, said all living sterilization victims are invited to attend the meeting or submit their stories on paper to help panel members better understand what has happened in their lives.

“The task force wants to hear from victims before they make their recommendations to the governor,” Cooper said.

Many of those sterilized by state-sanctioned doctors were from poor families who didn’t have the education or background to make such a major life decision, Cooper said.

Riddick, who grew up in Perquimans County, said her parents had already been deemed unfit to raise her, so she was sent to live at her grandmother’s home, where she was raped and became pregnant at age 13.

She kept quiet about her ordeal for many years, but now feels comfortable speaking out and plans to ask the state to financially compensate her for taking away her right to have children after 1968.

Karen Beck’s grandmother and great-aunt were sterilized in 1934 in Winston-Salem.

Living at home with their mother and alcoholic father, the two girls were sent to foster care after their mother died, Beck said.

She said caseworkers convinced their father to sign the sterilization order because of the “social and financial risk” of allowing them to have children later in life.

Flossie Bates, Beck’s grandmother, was sterilized at age 15 after being raped. Her sister, Dot, was sterilized at age 13 during what she was told was an appendectomy.

“My family is lucky in a way,” Beck wrote in a letter she will present to the eugenics compensation board. “My grandmother’s rape produced my mother, who in turn produced four children and several grand- and great-grandchildren. We are her legacy and the right the state stole from my great-aunt and countless others. I believe it is time for the state to apologize by compensating the remaining victims while they still live.”

“My grandmother was afraid that if she didn’t sign the paper, they would cut off her benefits ...”

Bits and pieces: ‘Mrs. Manners,’ street poling, lightning bugs ith this column, I’ll catch up on a few things. Each only takes a short time to tell, but seems noteworthy, nevertheless.

Last Friday, I was asked by Principal Jenny White at China Grove Elementary to cover their Sue Dodd Manners Luncheon. Having done some projects and other writing at their school before, I was glad to do it.

Not an Emily Post myself, I am still very serious and have good intentions with my own manners. Just the day before, I had the opportunity to view some students at one of our DAVID county schools and was FREEZE surprised at some of their language and actions. Manners were not the most important thing with this group. So, just a morning later, I got to see something that renewed my faith in the kids.

Sue Dodd is a retired teacher at China Grove, and she told me about her connection to students long ago graduated. They still call her with questions about how to act properly in public situations. I am not surprised, because for 20 years, Dodd had expressed the importance of good manners with her students.

The 2011 group of fifth-graders at the school, though not directly taught by Dodd, were working hard to impress her.

I saw fifth- graders get up and pull back a chair, and then help another student or female teacher sit down.

My own conversation with Irving Flores was special. He was a Hispanic child, dressed impeccably, and extremely polite when I asked him questions. He had an easy smile, but was mannerly and respectful throughout the meal. Around him, I saw much more of the same.

I wonder if instead of some of the end

dancing, but asked her why she liked it.

She said “It is great exercise, a good workout, and I get stronger each time.”

Just a few days ago, I heard that a spin-off called “street poling” is sweeping the nation. There are two variations: One is based on a group of pole dancers just showing up to a certain area and taking over scaffolding, sign posts and lamp poles for a short acrobatic workout. The other is done individually, often more for practice.

Street poling is more popular in the big cities because, as one dancer says, “You can’t go more than 10 feet without finding a pole of some kind.” I did find that most poles are rough and sometimes require long pants. That’s not good. Still, I hope it catches on in Salisbury. 

Public vs. private: Long an issue for John Edwards WASHINGTON (AP) — The legal case against two-time presidential candidate John Edwards focuses on where to draw the line between the public and private in a politician’s life, a divide he riskily straddled throughout his entire career and family life.

Edwards isn’t alone. The private activities and concerns of public officials increasingly seem to be pulled or pushed into the public arena. Is that Rep. Anthony Weiner modeling his underwear? Donald Trump and Sarah Palin use a knife and fork to eat pizza! Which school did President Barack Obama pick to go all the way in college EDWARDS hoops?

These things don’t reveal much about their qualifications to lead, yet they fascinate Americans.

Edwards, a millworker’s son, was a master at honing an image of his private life for public consumption.

There was much to draw the public to Edwards and his family that seemed so full of youthful vibrancy. He had a whip-smart wife who was at least his equal in political talent and a daugh-

The celebratory cigar of 1969 would be considered a weapon of mass destruction today oward the end of my senior year (1969) at East Rowan, I experimented smoking cigars, which, unlike other things that some people smoked then, were fairly legal.

In those days, students were allowed to smoke in East’s central courtyard, which contained the school library at its center.

The source of my experimentation MACK with smoking WILLIAMS cigars was inspiration from a re-release of “Gone With the Wind.”

Seeing Clark Gable puffing on a cigar while playing cards with the Yankee soldiers who had imprisoned him made me realilze he was “cool.”

Even though Gable has been gone many years now, the essence of his “coolness” remains forever on film to be viewed on TCM and Netflix. But more than just being “cool,” he truly was a good person, according to biographers.

T

The young men of today would do well to emulate the way he led his life in his dealings with others.

In “Gone With the Wind,” Rhett Butler’s “coolness” was magnified in scenes in which a cigar accompanies his sly grin.

Back then, I tried my imitation of his world-famous grin. I’m afraid mine, however, resembled Harvey Korman’s impression of the “Gable grin” in that classic episode of the old “Carol Burnett Show” in which Burnett portrayed Scarlett and Korman portrayed Butler.

The time came for the graduation of East Rowan’s Class of 1969, prefaced by our graduation practice on the football field. To that practice, I brought a cigar and matches concealed in my pocket. I decided I would have a celebratory smoke, evidently feeling that the practice of smoking to commemorate a special occasion was not solely in the possession of the Native American.

We were seated in metal chairs on the football field, and I was somewhere near the back since my last name is “Williams.” This was be-

fore the days when calling names alphabetically would be reversed, a sometime courtesy to those who were near the alphabet’s end.

I had my cigar — either an El Producto or a Tampa Nugget — in readiness, having purchased it at a service station.

At a time I deemed appropriate, I ignited my cigar. I remember the day was bright and the sky free of clouds. No more than a few puffs of white rose into the totally blue sky that day before I was instructed by one of the teachers to extinguish my hand-held cloud maker.

As I remember, the teacher didn’t raise her voice or sound agitated, almost using the same deadpan tone of address to me as Ben Stein used to Ferris Beuller.

As an indication of the many changes which have come about since that 1969 day, my actions — only frowned upon then — would result in much more dire consequences if I were a graduating youth of today.

Now, I probably would be reported to the juvenile authorities and made to do a few hours of community

service, along with having an appointment made for me with a counselor. Those who knew me back then probably would have felt the latter would have been beneficial to me anyway, even if the cigar had not been lit.

If it were today, the name of the gas station where I made my purchase would have been ferreted out of me, resulting in prosecution of the owner, probably accompanied by a temporary suspension of his license to conduct business with the public.

My possession of matches might be viewed now, not just as a necessary tool for smoking, but as the tool of a pyromaniac, the cigar being the clever “cover” for an intent to ignite the school.

Looking back, things that one does are sometimes best judged by the standards of the time period in which they were done.

I was making no attempt at mayhem. My enjoyment of those few puffs was purely in celebration of my having completed 12 years of education in Rowan before heading off to continue my education in Watauga.

NC beachgoers advised to be wary of rip currents RALEIGH (AP) — With school out and North Carolinians thinking about the beach, federal and state officials are warning beachgoers to be wary of the dangers of rip currents.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is designating this week as Rip Current Awareness Week in an effort to heighten public awareness of rip currents at surf beaches.

Rip currents are strong narrow currents moving away from shore. On average, more people die every year from rip

currents than from shark attacks. According to the U.S. Lifesaving Association, 80 percent of surf beach rescues are attributed to rip currents, and more than 100 people die annually from drowning in rip currents.

East NC wildfire flares, firefighters fight back MANTEO (AP) — Firefighters have again battled back against a wildfire that has been burning in eastern

North Carolina for a month.

The North Carolina Forest Service said firefighters were able to burn land in front of the wildfire Saturday evening in the Alligator National Wildlife Refuge in Dare County after the blaze threatened to spread south past containment lines toward the major highway in the area.

Even with Saturday’s break, firefighters say the blaze is only 60 percent contained. It will take a long, heavy rain to extinguish it.

Officials had to close U.S.

264 from Stumpy Point to Engelhard again because of dense smoke, but the highway reopened Sunday.

The fire started May 5 from a lightning strike and has burned more than 31,000 acres.

SALISBURY POST

LIBRARY FROM 3A East Rowan Branch, it’s hard to not love to read.

“I like a lot of books,” Bailey said. “For a kid, I visit a lot.”

His favorite books are “The Kingdom Keepers.” He also enjoys playing games on the computers.

Abbey loves mystery novels and read all of the Nancy Drew novels in one year.

Nine-year-old Zinahji Goodjohn was busy Sunday afternoon working on a scavenger hunt, hoping to win a gift card to The Literary Bookpost. His favorite thing to do at the library? Watching movies.

But his favorite books to read are fairy tales, he said.

“I like ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ because it’s about her and a wolf, and she’s going on this adventure to her grandmother’s house,” he said.

The Rowan Public Library received a special gift Sunday from Salisbury’s sister city, Salisbury, England — a book on the history of the sister city, “Salisbury Past,” presented by Salisbury Mayor Susan Kluttz.

“When we speak of our assets of the city, and there are many, the library is always at

MONDAY, JUNE 6, 2011 • 5A

CONTINUED the top of our list,” Kluttz said.

Rowan County Commissioner Chairman Chad Mitchell commended the library for being around for 100 years.

“Any organization that’s been able to make it 100 years is a great accomplishment,” he said. “Considering the services the library provides to the citizens and our community, it makes it particularly special.”

Friend of the Library Dale Basinger has worn many hats at the Rowan Public Library, and said he wouldn’t put any other library above Rowan’s.

“I believe there are good libraries, I believe there are very good libraries, and I believe Rowan County Public Library is an excellent library,” he said.

Rowan Public Library Director Jeff Hall said that in 1911 when the library was established, a public library was “not a new idea.”

“Our founding fathers believed that in order for our democracy to function properly, an educated populace was necessary,” he said.

At one time, Rowan County had 11 branches of the Rowan Public Library, he said.

“Even one in the Yadkin community; can you believe that?” he said.

“Each one of the libraries

that stand today are cornerstones in that community,” Hall said. “Our community has seem the importance of libraries over the years.”

In 2010, 860,000 items went out the doors of the libraries, Hall said. And the main branch in Salisbury, he said, is the biggest cornerstone of them all.

“No other agency, in my opinion, has acquired, preserved and published our history,” he said. “Our county has served and our library has served to preserve those documents.

“Our libraries we believe are essentials to our community.”

Robert Clyde Allen, 50, is one of the members of the community who has been coming since childhood and has never left.

“My mother came here when she was a young woman, and my love for the library came from her,” Allen said. “The library is a suppository of all information.

“You could spend 100 years here and not run out of subjects. The library pays back its community 1,000 times fold in my opinion.”

FROM 3A ter getting her Ivy League eduThe tow-headed cation. youngest daughter and son coaxed smiles out of voters and even from the journalists invited to board the family’s campaign bus, eat their snacks and join their sing-alongs. The way that the Edwardses dealt with their son Wade’s death in an auto accident won sympathy.

But from the start, there were ruses. Edwards’ chief criminal accuser, former aide Andrew Young, writes in his book how Edwards would drive a beat-up Buick Park Avenue while on campaign business, stashing his BMW and Lexus to keep up the “everyman” image.

Now the central dispute over his indictment on felony charges is whether money that two of his supporters spent to keep his mistress in hiding were campaign contributions that should have been reported publicly, as prosecutors say, or private gifts from friends, as Edwards’ lawyers claim.

Edwards’ team says the payments were to keep the affair a secret from hurting his cancerstricken wife. The government alleges they were a scheme to keep the child conceived by Edwards and Rielle Hunter a secret from the public to protect his White House ambitions.

“A centerpiece of Edwards’ candidacy was his public image as a devoted family man,” the indictment of Edwards says. “The communication strategy developed by Edwards’ campaign stressed the importance of publicizing, among other things, ‘that (Edwards’) family comes first.’”

That is a reference to the communications plan Edwards’ advisers wrote in advance of the 2008 nominating race, when the former North Carolina senator was coming off a losing race as vice presidential nominee to Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., on the 2004 ticket.

The undated document, turned over to prosecutors and provided to the Associated Press by a person involved in the investigation, stressed that “JRE” — the initials Edwards’ staffers often used to refer to him — had a unique chance to show Americans how he “shares their everyday values.”

“JRE is a household name, and we have a remarkable opportunity to give voters a richer understanding of just who John Edwards is — the man, not the politician,” the plan said.

President George W. Bush “of course, has done a tremendous job in this regard — in 2000, among many other things, people knew he liked to clear brush,

that he loved baseball, that he loved his wife, and that he had overcome personal adversity. “ It recommended that Edwards use every chance to attend activities with his family, such as going to a theme park, rodeo or high school football games. “These do not need to be advertised to the press,” it said.

“Word will get out on its own.

And hearing about things like this from your friend or neighbor is much more powerful than a staged photo-op on the 6 p.m. news. We should do this AS OFTEN as possible.”

It also suggested that a book by his wife, Elizabeth, would help the effort. She ended up writing “Saving Graces,” published in September 2006. That book and a second published after her husband’s campaign was over and his philandering exposed endeared her to many as a woman of strength who gracefully dealt with hardships, even the cancer that would kill her.

Meanwhile, campaign operatives whispered behind the scenes that Elizabeth could often be cruel and demanding.

While the campaign communications plan stressed Edwards’ devotion to family and Elizabeth, he was secretly spending time in the lead-up to the campaign with his videographer.

“In the same way that so many know that JRE is the son of a mill worker and the first person in his family to go to college (which we cannot repeat enough), we need people to know: “— that his family comes first, “— that he and Elizabeth have overcome tremendous challenges and adversity, “— that faith has been an important part of his life, “— what his friends think about him, and “— what he likes to do for fun.”

Even disregarding the National Enquirer reports during the campaign about Edwards’ affair, which he denied, there were other signs the public image of his private life was not as it seemed.

While Edwards’ campaigned on a fight against poverty and the “Two Americas” of the haves and have-nots, it was disclosed that he was getting $400 haircuts, building a 28,000square-foot home and consulting work for a hedge fund that catered to the wealthy.

Edwards’ lies eventually alienated most of his one-time supporters and advisers and demolished his political career.

Now he really does have more time for family, and even now it is still part of his public image.

As he left federal court Friday in a crush of media photographers, his daughter Cate was by his side.

Ten days after the Joplin tornado, the state said major insurance companies already had received 17,000 claims, a figure that’s likely to rise.

Historically, insurance premiums often have risen in areas hit by catastrophic events as insurers update their risk models used to set rates.

COUNCIL

Even before the recent flooding in the West and upper Midwest, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said about 6.8 million acres had been flooded this year — an area equivalent to the entire state of Massachusetts.

One recent day, highway engineer Richard Wallace drove his four-wheel drive truck down the gravel of Mississippi County Road 310 in southeast Missouri to survey the damage from receding floodwaters. He was forced to stop.

“I’m looking at a section right now that looks like part of the Grand Canyon,” said Wallace, staring at a gaping crevice in the road.

In Mississippi County, where the corps blew open the Birds Point levee to relieve flooding pressure on nearby Cairo, Ill., local officials estimated the water may have caused $75 million in damage to roads, bridges and public infrastructure.

Flooding also wiped out about half of the county’s farm acreage — a particularly severe blow for an area that ranks among Missouri’s leading wheat and soybean producers and whose economy depends on agriculture. Missouri Farm Bureau President Blake Hurst says 570,000 acres of cropland have been flooded, costing Missouri farmers anywhere from $150 million to $400 million.

Less money for farmers also means less money for retailers, restaurant owners and just about everyone else in the region. The flooding is projected to reduce sales revenues by $93 million in Mississippi County alone — a decline of about 14 percent, said Bruce Domazlicky, of the Cen-

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — First a tornado tore through the St. Louis airport.

Then rising waters swamped small towns and flooded miles of fertile farmland along the Mississippi River. Then the nation’s deadliest tornado in six decades ripped apart the city of Joplin.

Thirty days of destruction in Missouri. Billions of dollars of damage. And it may not be done, as communities along the Missouri River from St. Joseph to St. Louis brace for a new round of flooding.

The economic aftershocks of Missouri’s spring of disasters may be felt for years, even by many who weren’t personally affected by the storms. Insurance premiums are likely to increase for home and vehicle owners. Restaurants and retail shops are likely to see lower sales in southeast Missouri. Utility rates are likely to rise in the southwestern part of the state. And Missouri’s budget — already out of balance — now is tens of millions of dollars deeper in the hole, which could lead to more cuts to government services and schools.

Missouri may be an extreme example. But it’s far from alone in a spring of brutal weather.

Tornadoes have wreaked havoc from Alabama to Massachusetts, while floods have inundated states from Montana to Louisiana. The recent Joplin tornado and a series of twisters that ravaged the South in late April caused a combined insurance loss of up to $8 billion, according to preliminary estimates from Eqecat, a firm that analyzes the effect of catastrophes for insurers and government agencies.

Palin sticks to her guns on Revere WASHINGTON (AP) — Sarah Palin insisted Sunday that history was on her side when she claimed that Paul Revere’s famous ride was intended to warn both British soldiers and his fellow colonists.

“You realize that you messed up about Paul Revere, don’t you?” “Fox News Sunday” anchor Chris Wallace asked the potential 2012 presidential candidate.

“I didn’t mess up about Paul Revere,” replied Palin, PALIN a paid contributor to the network.

“Part of his ride was to warn the British that were already there. That, hey, you’re not going to succeed.

You’re not going to take American arms. You are not going to beat our own wellarmed persons, individual, private militia that we have,” she added. “He did warn the British.”

Palin, who again said she has not decided whether to run for president, was asked about the Revolutionary War hero during a stop Thursday in Boston on her East Coast bus tour.

Yemenis hope president is gone for good SANAA, Yemen (AP) — The departure of Yemen’s battle-wounded president for treatment in Saudi Arabia set off wild street celebrations Sunday in the capital, where crowds danced, sang and slaughtered cows in hopes that this spelled a victorious end to a more than threemonth campaign to push their leader from power.

Behind the festive atmosphere, many feared Ali Abdullah Saleh, a masterful political survivor who has held power for nearly 33 years, will yet return — or leave the country in ruins if he can’t.

Hanging in the balance was a country that even before the latest tumult was beset by deep poverty, malnutrition, tribal conflict and violence by an active al-Qaida franchise with international reach.

Saleh, who was taken overnight to a military hospital in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, underwent successful surgery on his chest to remove jagged pieces of wood that splintered from a mosque pulpit when his compound was hit by rockets on Friday, said medical officials and a Yemeni diplomat.

The stunning rocket attack, which the government first blamed on tribal fighters who

in recent weeks turned against the president and later on al-Qaida, killed 11 bodyguards and seriously injured five senior officials worshipping just alongside Saleh.

While Saleh is away, Vice President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi is acting as temporary head of state, said the deputy information minister, Abdu al-Janadi. The minister said the president would return to assume his duties after his treatment, though experts on Yemeni affairs questioned whether a return is possible.

MAJDAL SHAMS, Golan Heights (AP) — Israeli troops on Sunday battled hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters who tried to burst across Syria’s frontier with the Golan Heights, killing a reported 20 people and wounding scores more in the second outbreak of deadly violence in the border area in less than a month.

The clashes, marking the anniversary of the Arab defeat in the 1967 Mideast war, drew Israeli accusations that Syria was orchestrating the violence to shift attention away from a bloody crackdown on opposition protests at home.

Afterward, he said he was impressed with the event.

“It’s bringing heritage and history to our community and youth,” Kluttz said.

Sonny Karriker, event organizer and Carolina Military Vehicle Preservation Association member, said it was a great turnout and he was especially appreciative of the students who participated in the flag ceremony.

South Rowan High School’s “ROTC did a fantastic job,” Karriker said. “I’m proud of them.”

Karriker said he’s already looking forward to the Veteran’s Day gathering in the fall.

“We do it for this purpose, to keep it alive, to honor those veterans before us that made it all possible,” Karriker said.

Karriker specializes in Korean War memorabilia and hosted one of the many tables outside the museum.

One of his favorite things about the museum, Karriker said, is seeing the excitement on students’ faces.

“I think they’ve been impressed, I think they’ve been inspired and I know they’ve been taught,” Karriker said.

“He’s now four years off his antiretroviral therapy and we have no evidence of HIV in any tissue or blood that we have tested,” even places where the virus can lie dormant for many years, Huetter said.

Brown’s success inspired scientists to try a similar but less harsh tactic: modifying some of a patient’s infectionfighting blood cells to contain

know if gene therapy works and is safe. Experiments on dozens of patients are under way, including some where patients go off their HIV medicines and doctors watch to see if the modified cells control the virus.

The results so far on the cell counts “are all wonderful findings but they could all amount to nothing” unless HIV stays suppressed, said Dr. Jacob Lalezari, director of Quest Clinical Research in San Francisco who is leading one of the studies.

“Before I knew he had HIV I used to have nightmares about it,” and gambling on a transplant to try to cure it didn’t seem smart when the cancer seemed to be in remission, she said.

Several months later, the return of leukemia changed their minds.

Brown discussed the transplant with his boss “and she said, ‘wow, this is amazing.

Because you have leukemia, you could be cured of HIV.’” A registry turned up more than 200 possible donors and Huetter started testing them for the HIV resistance gene.

He hit pay dirt at No. 61 — a German man living in the United States, around 25 years old.

Brown had the transplant in February 2007. A year later, his leukemia returned but HIV did not. He had a second transplant in March 2008 from the same donor.

Now 45, Brown needs no medicines, and his only health problems are from the mugging he suffered two years ago as he returned home one night in Berlin. Brown was knocked unconscious, required brain surgery and ther-

related to HIV. Chemotherapy left him so sick he had to be put into a coma to allow his body to recover.

“They didn’t know if I’d survive that,” Brown said.

Dr. Gero Huetter, a blood cancer expert at the University of Berlin, knew that a transplant of blood stem cells (doctors used to use bone marrow) was the best hope for curing Brown’s cancer. But he aimed even higher.

“I remembered something I had read in a 1996 report from a study of people who were exposed to HIV but didn’t get infected,” Huetter said.

These people had gene mutations that provide natural resistance to the virus. About 1 percent of whites have them, and Huetter proposed searching for a person who also was a tissue match for Brown.

But transplants are grueling. Huetter would have to destroy Brown’s diseased immune system with chemo and radiation, then transplant the donor’s cells and hope they would take hold and grow.

Many cancer patients die from such attempts and Brown wasn’t willing to risk it.

Sunday marked 30 years since the first AIDS cases were reported in the United States. And the anniversary brings fresh hope for something many had come to think was impossible: finding a cure.

The example is Timothy Ray Brown of San Francisco, the first person in the world apparently cured of AIDS. His treatment isn’t practical for wide use, but there are encouraging signs that other approaches might someday lead to a cure, or at least allow some people to control HIV without needing medication every day.

“I want to pull out all the stops to go for it,” though cure is still a very difficult goal, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

For now, the focus remains on preventing new infections.

With recent progress on novel ways to do that and a partially effective vaccine, “we’re starting to get the feel that we can really get our arms around this pandemic,” Fauci said.

Nearly 30 million people have died of AIDS since the first five cases were recognized in Los Angeles in 1981.

About 34 million people have HIV now, including more than 1 million in the United States.

About 2 million people die of the disease each year, mostly in poor countries that lack treatment. In the U.S. though, newly diagnosed patients have a life expectancy only a few months shorter than people without HIV. Modern drugs are much easier to take, and many patients get by on a single pill a day.

But it wasn’t that way in 1995, when Brown, an American working as a translator in Berlin, learned he had HIV. He went on and off medicines because of side effects but was holding his own until 2006, when he was diagnosed with leukemia, a problem un-

But there seems to be little rush to get Bluetooth headsets. They’ve been declining in popularity for at least four years, according to research firm Strategy Analytics. It’s also found that most headset owners don’t intend to replace the one they have when it wears out.

According to Strategy Analytics analyst Chris Schreiner, the main reason is that when you’re wearing a Bluetooth headset, you look like a person who’s wearing a Bluetooth headset.

“Style has always been a huge issue in terms of Bluetooth headsets,” Schreiner said.

On Twitter this week, the most common posts mentioning “headset” and “cancer” have been repeats of a joke from humor site Someecards.com: “I can’t decide between being seen wearing a Bluetooth headset or just getting brain cancer.”

type of patients. Unfortunately, ... cancer becomes resistant over time,” Shaw added, so researchers already are trying to develop new treatments that could push this cancer back into remission.

In a continuation of that study, also sponsored by Pfizer, researchers found that among 119 patients whose cancer had worsened after three or more prior types of treatment, 88 percent had their tumors shrink at least somewhat over nearly a year follow-up.

Similarly, in a midstage study of 136 patients who failed at least one previous cancer treatment, 54 percent had their tumors shrink by about a third or more and 83 percent had tumors shrink somewhat. Most patients had mild side effects, but two of the nine patient deaths during that study were considered treatment-related.

U.S. regulators are expediting their review of crizotinib, indicating its promise. Pfizer expects it to be approved in the U.S. by year’s end, because under the “Fast Track designation” the Food and Drug Administration gave the drug last December, Pfizer was able to start submitting batches of data in January, rather than wait until all studies are completed.

Two larger, late-stage studies comparing crizotinib directly to standard treatments are continuing, one in patients for whom prior drugs didn’t work and one in new patients.

There are no treatments specifically for patients with this type of lung cancer, although some others are in much earlier stages of testing.

So the FDA is expected to conditionally approve crizotinib based on results of the earlier studies rather than wait until the latest ones are completed, said Dr. Robert Sweetman, head of medical affairs for Pfizer’s cancer unit.

Cellphones differ in how much radiation they emit. Proposals in a few states would force cellphone stores to display these radiation ratings.

But CTIA-The Wireless Association, the cellphone industry trade group, is fighting these moves. It says there’s no evidence the measured ratings have any correlation with risks. And cellphone manufacturers and carriers are showing no sign of breaking ranks with each other to use the ratings to their advantage — for instance, by touting “low-radiation phones.”

Spokesman John Walls said CTIA wouldn’t fight a manufacturer that wanted to market a “low-radiation phone.”

But claiming a phone to be safer than any other would cross the line, he said.

“They’re all deemed safe by science,” Walls said.

Americans on average talk about 700 minutes a month on their cellphones, making them some of the most talkative people in the world, well ahead of Europeans.

Study: Pfizer lung cancer pill may double survival TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — A much-anticipated drug for advanced lung cancer from Pfizer Inc. appears to double survival over standard drugs against tumors with a certain genetic mutation, according to research presented Sunday.

The drug, called crizotinib, would be the first targeted treatment for the roughly 50,000 people who get this cancer each year worldwide. It might eventually produce annual revenue for Pfizer exceeding $2 billion.

The first overall survival data for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated with the drug, called crizotinib, showed 74 percent were still alive after a year and 54 percent after two years, researchers announced at a huge cancer specialists conference.

Median overall survival, a key measure, hasn’t been determined because more than half the 82 patients are still alive.

The early-phase study did not include a direct comparison group. But among similar patients getting standard cancer drugs in other research, 44 percent survived for a year and just 12 percent were alive after two years, said lead researcher Dr. Alice Shaw.

Crizotinib, part of the new wave of personalized medicine in which drugs are being matched to patients according to genetics, would be the first drug in a new class called ALK inhibitors.

The twice-a-day pill targets the roughly 4 percent of nonsmall cell lung cancer patients whose tumors have a genetic rearrangement of an enzyme that stimulates growth and survival of those cancer cells.

The experimental drug works by turning off that enzyme, with a rapid and dramatic effect that’s long-lasting, said Shaw, a thoracic oncologist at Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center.

NEW YORK (AP) — News last week that an arm of the World Health Organization said cellphones might raise the risk of brain cancer has been greeted by Americans mostly with a shrug of the shoulder — one that’s pinning a cellphone to the ear.

Google searches for “cancer” and “cellphones” spiked this week. And some people vowed to get headsets to shield themselves from radiation. But most seemed to either dismiss the warning as too vague, or reason that if the most useful device in modern life poses a slight health risk, then so be it.

“I was watching the news about it, and I thought, ‘I’m already screwed because I’ve been talking on the phone for seven years,’” said Genevieve Chamorro, a 31-year-old New Yorker who was shopping for a phone.

John Gottani, a manager at a cellphone store in New York, said he’s been selling phones for six years and has never heard anyone ask if they cause cancer. The only things customers really care about, Gottani said, are “if it works, and if it texts.”

The International Agency for Research on Cancer reviewed dozens of published studies on cellphones and cancer before classifying cellphones as “possibly carcinogenic” on Tuesday. It’s a risk category that includes nightshift work, engine exhaust and coffee.

Studies haven’t been able to rule out a link between cellphones and cancer. But experts say that if there is a link, it’s unlikely to be strong. Cellphones emit weak radio waves, which, under the conventional understanding of physics, can’t wreak the same sort of cellular changes that sunlight and radioactivity can.

A common tip offered to those who want to reduce their exposure to cellphone radiation is to use a headset.

Even wireless Bluetooth headsets reduce radiation exposure. Though they emit radio

RAYNOR FROM 1a conditions at the Salisbury prison, a differentiation between the early and late years of the war must be made. During the early years the prison was not overcrowded and the death rate among prisoners was low.

This abruptly changed in the fall of 1864 when thousands of prisoners from other camps threatened by advancing Yankees armies were sent to Salisbury. By that time, food was in short supply not only at the prison, but in the community as well. From October 1864 until the prison was closed in February 1865, starvation and disease took a heavy toll.

A prison overcrowded with desperate men became a threat to the community.

Equipped with weapons, the prisoners would have been more than an even match for their guards and the civilian militia.

The role played in history by a poor, old woman, even one with the warmest of hearts, is not likely to be noticed by professional historians and her deeds are not usually recorded even by diarists. But Gray and other prisoners remembered Mrs. Johnston’s kindness and mentioned them.

Dr. Gray simply called her “Mrs. Johnston” with no further identification. Later her first name of Sarah was used, and still later Mrs. Margaret Beall Ramsy in her memories of the Civil War refers to a Mrs. Sloan Johnston, who lived near the prison. She was poor, but in her early 40s she was hardly old and was to live until 1906.

In a feature story published by The Charlotte Observer in 1948, Theresa Thomas mentions that among her descendants living in Salisbury was Robert Johnston.

Descendants As a mail carrier and former policeman, Johnston was well known in Salisbury. He lived at 511 Mahaley Ave. and had two sons, including Bob Jr., and a daughter, Mrs. Harley Joseph. He died in the 1960s.

His father, Thomas P. Johnston, was far better known here and elsewhere throughout the state. He was one of the last five surviving Confederate veterans living in Rowan County at the time of his death, at 94 in 1939. He was, in fact, the reason Confederate guards trusted Sarah Johnston to visit and help Union prisoners.

Tommy Johnston, known as “Admiral” Johnston because he was a rarity — a veteran of the Confederate navy — was Sarah Johnston’s son. He, was born in 1845, the son of John Sloan

and Sarah Reeves Johnston.

The Johnston family lived at the corner of Church and Innes streets, where the old U.S. Post Office now stands. Something happened to the family’s fortunes in the 1850s. When Tommy was 9, he was sent to Tennessee and then to Texas to live with relatives.

He later referred in The Post to “adverse” happenings but did not specify what they were.

In a 1919 edition of the biographical “History of North Carolina,” Sloan Johnston’s financial problems are blamed on his willingness to co-sign notes for friends. A less kind version is that he drank himself out of gainful employment and a steady income. The son of Lemuel J. and Nancy Hall Johnston of Scotch-Irish township, Sloan Johnston, who was crippled on his right side and in his arm, moved to Salisbury to manufacture carriages and wagons.

At different times he had also been the coroner, a magistrate and the register of deeds. If, as reported, he was a heavy drinker, this fact probably explains his son’s avid interest in the prohibition cause. Although he didn’t die until 1868, Sloan Johnston apparently had little public role in his final years. Mrs. Thomas refused to recognize him, making Sarah a widow.

At some point before the war, the family lost the house at Church and Innes and had to move to a smaller residence on East Bank Street. In T. P. Johnston’s biography it is stated it “devolved” on Sarah to support the family, which she did apparently by teaching school.

The chances are good that she also was helped by her family. She was the daughter of the prosperous Samuel and Mary Ann Hughes Reeves and a sister of Dr. Samuel Reeves. Her anonymous biographer, no doubt generously assisted by her son, wrote of her: “Kind-hearted and sympathetic, she was widely known for her charity and benevolence, and during the Civil War no soldier, be he Rebel or Yankee, ever came to her for assistance that he did not get it. Her home, which was but a block from the garrison, became the refuge for soldiers of both armies.” One of these, the biographer relates, was Hugh Berry, a Yankee soldier of Oshkosh Wis. He was nursed by her at her home until he died, at which time she had him buried in her garden. The body was reburied later at the National Cemetery. The biographer states that as a result of her care of Berry, the federal government granted her a lifetime colonel’s pension through a special act of Congress.

Although her picture shows a somewhat grimfaced angel of mercy, Mrs.

Johnston apparently had her lighter moments. One of them was light enough to make the session minutes of the First Presbyterian Church.

“The pastor was requested to visit and converse with Mrs. Sarah Johnston in relation to a rumor that she had attended a dancing party — and danced herself.”

Dr. Jethro Rumple dutifully went to see Mrs. Johnston.

In July the minutes reported: “The Rev. Jethro Rumple reported he had visited and conversed with Mrs. Johnston. The conversation was unsatisfactory.

The session declined any immediate action in the case and requested Mr. Murdoch (William) to visit Mrs. Johnston.” Murdoch apparently was either a tougher or more convincing talker than Rumple. In his August report to the session, he said, “She expressed sorrow for the occurrence and the session was determined to take no further action in this case.”

Two years after the close of the Civil War, Mrs. Johnston was dismissed (released from membership) in the First Church, which she had joined in 1838. This step apparently was a preliminary to her plan to leave the area to move to Cincinnati, Ohio. The family did move and that might explain why no gravesite can be found in Salisbury for her unfortunate husband Sloan Johnston who died in 1868.

Unclear motives Why she moved her family is not clear. The biographer simply states that she did so “in order that her children might have better educational advantages.”

This seems a flimsy excuse at best. The original legend is that a prisoner named Cox, her favorite in 1862, was so taken by her and her problems that he returned after the war and “helped her to a comfortable home in Ohio.”

In Mrs. Thomas’ newspaper story she describes the tender care that Mrs. Johnston gave to Berry, the Oshkosh prisoner. Before he died, the story goes, he insisted that she write his mother and tell her how and by whom he was being cared for. The story does not say anything about the move to Ohio or her life there.

In any event, Mrs. Johnston remained in Cincinnati about 25 years before returning to Salisbury to live with her daughter Sally, wife of Alexander Parker.

She died in 1906 at age 84 and is buried among her kinsmen in the Lutheran Cemetery under a stone that bears her name and the single word “Mother.”

Adventure for son When Sarah Johnston was asked about her concern for the welfare of the Yankee prisoners in the Salisbury Confederate prison,

she would remind those asking that she had a son in Confederate service. Presumably she hoped that if he were imprisoned, some Yankee mother would show a similar interest in him.

The son she referred to was Thomas Pinckney Johnston, who became the father of T. Edgar Johnston of South Fulton Street and Robert K. Johnston of Mahaley Avenue, both now deceased. Johnston’s life was a colorful one; in fact, one local woman who knew him described him as one of Salisbury’s many “characters.”

Known later as Tommy and, jocularly, in the Southern Colonel mode as “Admiral,” Johnston was a member of the pioneer Johnston family of western Rowan.

His father, Sloan Johnston, had financial and alcohol problems that seriously affected the welfare of the family.

Because of these problems, Tommy was sent west to live with relatives in Tennessee and Texas at age 9.

Details of this period are vague, but he often told enthralling tales of cowboys and life on the range. How much truth there was in these stories is a matter of conjecture, for Johnston became practiced in the fine art of storytelling. Certainly during one short period in his life he was exposed to enough material to last the average man a lifetime He returned to Salisbury before the Civil War in time to attend school under the tutelage of Professor Samuel Wiley. When the war broke out he became an “ordinance messenger” for the Confederacy. It is not clear whether this was an enlisted status or that he was a civilian wagoner.

After serving in this role for three years, he yearned for more action and took an unusual step for someone from this area. He enlisted in the Confederate navy and was assigned to naval operations on the Roanoke River above Plymouth. Here he helped in the construction of the ironclad Albemarle, which was designed to help free Plymouth of Yankee occupiers.

Saw action The Albemarle’s career, while short, was full of action. Johnston later said he took part in the sinking of the two Federal boats, Bombshell and Southfield.

He was also aboard when the Albemarle was sunk by a Yankee torpedo in a daring surprise attack by a small Union vessel.

Johnston wrote that after his escape from the sinking ship he was assigned to serve aboard the Owl, a privateer. But a train wreck in Tarboro delayed his arrival at Wilmington, and he and the rest of his crew were assigned to the defenses at Fort Fisher.

He was in these defenses when the fort underwent a terrific federal bombard-

ment on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, 1864. The fort was finally captured by land assault on Jan. 16.

Again Johnston escaped, this time to Wilmington and finally to Richmond.

It was there, Johnston later claimed, while he was attending the Presbyterian Church that he saw a messenger deliver a telegram to Confederate President Jefferson Davis. The telegram from Gen. Robert E. Lee announced the fall of Petersburg, Va. He watched as Davis, followed by the whole congregation, walked out of the church. The fall of Petersburg meant the evacuation of Richmond and for all practical purposes the end of the war.

Before he left Richmond, Johnston figured in a small drama with a familiar sound. Food was virtually unavailable in Richmond and Johnston stopped at a house to see if the resident could spare anything to eat.

The woman there told him she had only one loaf of bread. She offered to divide it with him, mentioning that she hoped under similar circumstances someone would do the same for her soldier son.

The railroad between Richmond and Danville was still open and Johnston claimed to have been aboard the last train to leave Richmond. After that train cleared the James River, the Confederates fired the railroad bridge.

Johnston and his friends, arriving in Danville, were apparently without assignment as the war rapidly wound down. Since they were not too far from Johnston’s home in Salisbury, they decided to head that way and began walking toward Greensboro.

Commandeered train On the way they met a supply train headed north and stopped it. The crew gave them food and was surprised to learn that Richmond had fallen and Lee was in retreat to western Virginia. The train probably was carrying supplies from the big depot in Salisbury to Lee’s forces, thought to be in Richmond.

The Johnston biography says that he and his companions took control of the train and forced the crew, probably not against their will, back toward Salisbury.

Johnston and his friends got off the train at the Yadkin River, “Mr. Johnston taking with him a pair of government blankets which he had secured in Greensboro.”

The story smacks of invention, particularly the seizure of the train, and there is no other record of the event except the claim in the Johnston biography, most likely authored by Johnston himself.

Thus ended Johnston’s Confederate service, but not his association with the cause and his former companions.

He was active in the affairs of Confederate veterans and at the time of his death in 1939 was one of only five Confederate veterans living in Rowan.

Peace found him unprepared, and he tried his hand, as so many did, at farming near Salisbury. He then went west to Cincinnati, where he stayed two years, first working as a streetcar conductor and briefly as an agent with the Andes Amazon and Triumph Insurance Co. Since the accurate dates can only be guessed at, it is unclear whether he went to Cincinnati to join the rest of the family or whether his presence there encouraged his mother to bring the family there.

In any event, he decided to return to Rowan and to farming. He managed to buy farmland in Salisbury township and worked it for the next four decades. He apparently had learned something somewhere about engineering, for he supplemented his farm income by working as a surveyor and becoming the county surveyor.

Vanderford Hotel He also invested in real estate and was one of the men who developed the Vanderford Hotel, later the Bates, in the 200 block of North Main Street. Both industrious and thrifty, he lived comfortably, if not ostentatiously, in a small house at 111 West Kerr Street.

Johnston was striking looking. Like his parents, he was a devout Presbyterian and served as an elder of the First Church. Edith Clark, retired Rowan librarian, remembers him occupying the same pew every Sunday.

“He had a powerful voice,” she recalled. “Both in talking and singing. You couldn’t miss his voice. He was always a half a bar behind the choir and the rest of the congregation.”

Johnston was twice married. His first marriage was to Julia A. Brown, daughter of Moses L. Brown, a prosperous farmer, and Letitia Hartman Brown. They had seven children, four of whom lived to maturity.

Two years after her death in 1890, he married a widow, Jennie Keistler Winecoff of Concord. They had three sons, Thomas Pinckney, Jr., who became a Presbyterian minister, Ralph Balfour, accidentally killed at the age of 16, and Robert K. Johnston, who became the Salisbury postman.

Tommy Johnston became a leading figure in the Prohibition Party of North Carolina and was nominated by it for various state offices, including governor. “Mr. Johnston is a lifelong advocate and practitioner of prohibition,” his biographer proclaimed, “and votes and prays as he lives.”

Heat get clutch shot, now up 2-1

BY JAMIE ARON Associated Press

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LeBron James readies a dunk in Miami’s Game 3 victory.

DALLAS — The Miami Heat didn’t Heat 88 blow this Mavericks 86 one. Now they’re just two wins from being crowned NBA champions.

Chris Bosh made a 16-foot, go-ahead jumper from the baseline with 39.6 seconds left and the Heat held on for an 8886 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night for a 21 lead in the NBA finals.

Recent history says this is a huge win for the Heat. The

Game 3 winner in a tied finals has won the championship all 11 times since the 2-3-2 format began in 1985.

Miami got into this tight of a series by blowing a 15-point lead in the last quarter of Game 2. The Heat already had wasted a 14-point lead in this game when they went back ahead 81-75 with 6:31 left. They knew Dirk Nowitzki would drive Dallas’ rally, but he burned them anyway for 12 straight points — six free throws, a layup, a dunk and a tough jumper.

But after Bosh’s clutch shot, Nowitzki’s streak ran out. He

tried passing out of a double team and threw the ball away, then hit the back iron on a jumper at the buzzer.

“This is a total win,” said Dwyane Wade, who led Miami with 29 points and 11 rebounds.

“You want to win the game on the defensive end of the floor and we got a stop.”

The Heat go into Game 4 on Tuesday night with a chance to do what they did in 2006: win it all on Dallas’ floor. They’ll need to win that game and the next, on Thursday night.

Jackson to be part of history

BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

MOUNT ULLA — West Rowan’s Darryl Jackson will be part of the first football game in Gray Military Academy history.

The cornerback will be wearing the black-and white uniform of the home team when Gray’s War Eagles take on another brand new program — Orangeburg-Calhoun Prep on Aug. 27.

Gray is a combination prep school and junior college football program and hopes to do in South Carolina what Hargrave and Fork Union have done in Virginia.

Gray’s goals are to prepare students mentally, physically and spiritually to succeed in college on the field and in the classroom. Every student who will be enrolled for its startup semester will be an athlete.

GMA students will live in dorms at the Wil Lou Gray Opportunity School, near the West Columbia airport.

They’ll take character, lifeskill and academic classes at the Opportunity School and will also study at the local junior college — Midlands Tech.

Jackson (5-foot-9, 176 pounds) isn’t big, but he’s talented enough to move on to bigger and better things if he can elevate his academic credentials at GMA. “Clemson and East Carolina were recruiting me before they looked into my grades,”

Jackson said.

Those two remain at the top of his list of dream schools.

“Coaches will be checking out Gray, and Darryl may get a chance to play at a high level,” West coach Scott Young said. “He’s a very skilled athlete. He has great coverage skills and improved tremendously as the season went on as far as run support.”

Gray offers a second chance to qualify for college athletics to talented athletes who damaged their transcript with one shaky academic year — or maybe just one poor semester as an unfocused freshman or sophomore.

Some freshmen heading to Gray still need a core course in math, science, English or social studies, while others have handled all their classroom requirements but need to raise their SAT or ACT score to qualify for college.

The latter group could be ready to move on to a fouryear school after just one semester — and one football season — at Gray.

Some Gray students lack multiple courses and will need to go through the two-year junior college academic program.

Some students are fully qualified academically already but hope to attract more recruiting interest than they did in high school by shining

“Obviously, I’m not up there looking for a home run because I hadn’t hit one before,” Jennings said. “I just wanted to hit the ball hard.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Dale Earnhardt Jr. was charging again, hoping that this time he’d come out on top in a frantic late fuelmileage battle.

But leader Brad Keselowski stretched his tank perfectly Sunday to win the Sprint Cup race at Kansas Speedway — and extend Earnhardt’s winless streak to 106 races.

Keselowski led the final nine laps for his second Sprint Cup victory in 66 races, and the first for Penske Racing since Kurt Busch last year in the CocaCola 600. Keselowski also had a surprise 2009 victory at Talladega in only his fifth career Cup start.

“There are some secrets to it and I just maximized them all. I had plenty (of fuel) left,” Keselowski said.

Earnhardt appeared set to make a late charge on Keselowski. That push never came — though Earnhardt did move up to third in the standings and is just one point behind Jimmie Johnson.

For the second week in a row in a fuel-mileage race, Earnhardt came up just short. He ran out of gas near the finish in Charlotte

Put the two greats of the game on opposite ends of a court in a Grand Slam final — particularly at Roland Garros, on the red clay that Nadal rules — and the one-sided nature of the rivalry grows even more pronounced.

Grinding along the baseline, using every inch of his wingspan to extend points, whipping fearsome forehands this way and that, Nadal flummoxed Federer yet again Sunday in a riveting, highlightfilled match, beating him 7-5, 7-6 (3), 5-7, 6-1 for a record-tying sixth French Open championship and 10th major title overall.

“He plays better against the better ones, and that’s what he showed today,” said Federer, owner of 16 Grand Slam trophies. “He’s a great champion, on clay, especially.”

ASSOCIATED PRESS There’s no question that Rafael Nadal edged Roger Federer again for his 10th ma- Nadal is as good as it gets in jor title overall.

Paris — 45-1 for his career,

and the same number of titles there as Bjorn Borg — but the Spaniard already also has shown that he is much more than the King of Clay. And Sunday’s victory only will raise more questions about whether Federer truly deserves to be called the Greatest of All Time if he is not even the Greatest of Right Now. Nadal leads their head-tohead series 17-8. That includes a 6-2 advantage in Grand Slam finals and a 5-0 edge at the French Open (in the 2005 semifinals, and the 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2011 finals).

When a reporter recited those numbers and asked for an assessment, Nadal replied: “Well, it means I can play well, too.”

“When you talk about these statistics, when you try and make these comparisons, really it’s not very interesting to me,” continued Nadal, who would have ceded the No. 1 ranking to Novak Djokovic with a loss Sunday. “I’m very happy with what I have, with who I am. I’m not the best player in the history of tennis.

I think I’m among the best.

That’s true. That’s enough for

Wild draft day likely NEW YORK (AP) — There was no question at No. 1 in the last two baseball drafts.

The Washington Nationals — and pretty much everyone else — knew for weeks that they would likely take fireballing righty Stephen Strasburg in 2009 and powerful slugger Bryce Harper a year ago.

Well, it’s the Pittsburgh Pirates’ turn with the first overall pick Monday night, and they don’t have it as easy. That’s not to say they don’t have plenty of options, but none quite as clear cut as Strasburg and Harper were.

“Publicly,” Pirates general manager Neal Huntington said, “it’ll absolutely come down to 2 minutes before the draft.”

While Strasburg and Harper were hyped as probable No. 1 picks for months, several players have taken turns at the top of mock drafts this year.

“I would rate this draft as without an elite No. 1, I would say it’s safe to assume,” Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said, “but it’s probably as deep a draft with power arms and impact-type players as I’ve been around the last five or six drafts.”

When commissioner Bud Selig steps to the podium at the draft site at the MLB Network studios in Secaucus, N.J., he might say UCLA right-hander Gerrit Cole’s name first. Or, maybe Rice slugging third baseman Anthony Rendon. Perhaps it will be Virginia lefty Danny Hultzen, or Oklahoma high school righty Dylan Bundy.

“There’s a cluster of pitchers that have above-average stuff,” Rizzo said. “There’s several pitchers that throw 95-100 in this draft.

That’s hard to say in the last couple of drafts.”

This will mark the first time the Pirates have the No. 1 pick since they took right-hander Bryan Bullington out of Ball State in 2002.

Regardless of who they take, the Seattle Mariners know they’ll get an outstanding player one pick later.

“It’s a good year,” said Tom McNamara, Seattle’s director of amateur scouting. “I know a lot of scouting directors don’t say that; they say it’s a down year, but it’s a good year this year. There are a lot of good players. We’re pretty excited about bringing the right player to this franchise.”

That could be Cole, who has put up mediocre numbers during his junior season — 6-8, 3.31 ERA — but has what many consider to be the best pure stuff in draft. He was a first-round pick of the New York Yankees in 2008, but refused to even listen to an offer and instead attended UCLA. If the Pirates take him, Seattle might instead go with Rendon. The slick-fielding third baseman has been hampered by teams pitching around him, and a strained shoulder that limited him to mostly DH duties. But he might be the best all-around hitter in the draft.

“We’ve seen Anthony play a lot of third base,” McNamara said. “We’re comfortable with what we’ve seen.”

Stricker prevails

Rivera upbeat despite lockout Associated Press

FORT BRAGG — As Carolina Panthers players organized a week of workouts, their new coach was forced to find out secondhand how they went.

“Guys who have been able to go out and see them have been able to tell me some really nice things about our guys,” Ron Rivera said Friday. “They say, ‘Coach, they’re working hard. It’s good to see. They have 54 guys out there.’

“That’s outstanding.”

Of course, it would be stupendous for Rivera if there wasn’t a labor dispute and he was the one working out his players. Instead, the first-year head coach is part of one of the most bizarre

RACE FROM 1B and wound up seventh.

“Anytime you win a fuel mileage race you’ve done something as a driver,” Earnhardt said. “We don’t know what we’re doing really trying to save gas or how much we’re saving. But (Keselowski) had a hand in it.”

Denny Hamlin was third, followed by Jeff Gordon and Carl Edwards, who holds a 40point lead over Johnson.

Johnson fought from 31st position and finished seventh.

Polesitter Busch led 152 laps and finished ninth. He had to stop for gas as the leader with 10 laps left.

“I was all smiles. I felt the groove again, to lead the race.

It was great. It was solid,” Busch said. “There was always something in the back of my mind that we weren’t going to win, but I am proud Brad Keselowski did.”

Keselowski won the pole last week at Charlotte and has been on a monthlong upswing for Penske.

He seemed to come to life just as teammate Kurt Busch reached his wits end, with his displeasure culminating in an expletive-laden rant against

NFL offseasons. The lockout has prevented his new staff from meeting with players, installing the new offense and defense, signing needed free agents and getting raw rookies up to speed.

It’s bad for all teams, but it’s worse for teams with new coaches. It’s even worse if that coach is preparing for his first season in charge of an NFL team. It gets to the ridiculous stage when the team that coach is taking over went an NFL-worst 2-14 last season and may be about to start a rookie quarterback in Cam Newton.

“I am anxious about that, most certainly,” Rivera said after meeting U.S. Army troops at Fort Bragg. “But everybody will have the

team management.

That led to behind-thescenes personnel changes at Penske, including the announcement that technical Tom German was leaving the team to attend a graduate program at MIT. But Keselowski also took exception to a comment Busch made that it had been several years since he’d had a teammate capable of running the same pace as him.

Since then, Keselowski logged a third-place finish, raced his way into the All-Star race and, on Sunday, earned a win that could help him nab a wild-card spot in the Chase to the Sprint Cup championship.

“It’s because of the bad finishes and the struggles that we had to get here that I really appreciate this win,” Keselowski said. “We’re in good shape. A few more wins like this and we can make the Chase.”

The buzz before the Sprint Cup race was about the altercation between team owner Richard Childless and Kyle Busch that followed Saturday’s Trucks Series race.

NASCAR said Kyle Busch did nothing to violate his probation, clearing the driver of any fault in the incident President Mike Helton deemed

It’s hard to squash Rivera’s seemingly endless optimism. The former San Diego Chargers defensive coordinator likes to find the positives in everything, so he stressed how impressed he was that so many of his

new players organized workouts on their own at a Charlotte high school that are scheduled to run through Thursday.

“I’m very proud of them, just that we’ve had some guys step up and show some leadership, taking charge,” Rivera said.

“They’ve taken ownership, which I think is very important. I think it’s part of growing as a team.”

The golf roundup...

DUBLIN, Ohio — Steve Stricker finally found the winning formula at the Memorial on Sunday.

Stricker, who had never finished in the top 10 in his 11 previous trips to Muirfield Village, built a big lead on the front nine, then relied on his silky putting stroke for two clutch pars to hang on for a one-shot victory over Matt Kuchar and Brandt Jobe.

He closed with a 4-under 68, lagging from 20 feet for a two-putt bogey on the 18th hole. By then, the hard work was over. The 44-year-old Stricker twice saved par from bunkers on the 16th and 17th holes, making putts of 15 feet and 7 feet to go to the last hole with a two-shot lead.

Stricker finished at 16-under 272 and earned $1,116,000 for his 10th PGA

Kyle Busch, who led 11 laps, wound up 12th after his eventful weekend.

“It was a solid day,” he said. “Qualified up front and ran decent much of the race. We probably had a seventh or eighth-place car (Sunday) and just kind of got off fuel mileage there at the end.”

me.”

He’s rapidly gaining on Federer. Nadal turned 25 Friday, making him about six months younger than Federer was when the Swiss star collected his 10th major title.

Their rivalry is a friendly — not heated — one. Nadal conceded a point Sunday when he saw Federer’s shot landed in but was called out.

A few years ago, Federer gave Nadal a lift on a private jet from one tournament site to another after learning his on-court nemesis had trouble finding a commercial flight.

This was their first meeting in a Grand Slam final in more than two years. It also was the first major championship match contested by any two men who already completed career Grand Slams. And Nadal and Federer put on a worthy show, more than 31/2 hours chock-

Tour title and sixth in three years. He moved to No. 4 in the world, becoming the highestranked American for the first time in his career.

ShopRite LPGA Classic GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Brittany Lincicome made a 4-foot birdie putt on the final hole to win the ShopRite LPGA Classic for her fourth LPGA Tour title and first in two years.

Lincicome closed with a bogey-free 5-under 66 for a oneshot victory over third-ranked Jiyai Shin (6) and No. 4 Cristie Kerr (69). It was Lincicome’s first win since the 2009 Kraft Nabisco.

The 25-year-old Lincicome finished the 54-hole tournament on the Bay Course at Seaview with an 11-under 202 total, and the difference definitely was par 5s. Lincicome played nine par 5s in the tournament and had seven birdies, an eagle and a par, with the last birdie coming on the par-5, 501-yard 18th.

full of lengthy exchanges, brilliant defense, sublime shotmaking, and some dizzying shifts of momentum.

“A big occasion,” the thirdseeded Federer said. “I was aware of it.”

He won’t acknowledge publicly that Nadal drives him crazy with those high-bouncing lefty forehands that arrive shoulder-high on Federer’s backhand side, and that perpetual-motion, cover-everyspot, never-cede-a-thing scrambling that forces an opponent to produce several superb shots just to earn a single point.

“It’s always pretty straightforward when we play each other ... because we know what to expect,” Federer said. “I’m not in any way frustrated with his play.”

Perhaps that’s true, but consider this: Federer is 14-1 in the Grand Slam finals he has played against any other opponent. The only time Federer won the French Open, in 2009, he avoided Nadal, who was eliminated in the fourth round that year by Robin Soderling.

JACKSON FROM 1B for Gray.

“My options were basically junior college or prep school and prep school was the best option,” Jackson said.

“Each year of junior college, you lose a year of eligibility, but I can go to prep school without losing a year.”

Jackson didn’t just fill out an application to attend Gray, he earned a spot on the team through his performance in a highly competitive workout.

“It was about six weeks ago, and it was already hot in Columbia,” Jackson said. “It was a very big tryout, with a whole lot of big-time athletes there. We were down there for six hours, even with rain cutting things short a few hours.”

Gray had already conducted a tryout in the winter, but somewhere between 150 and 200 athletes showed up for the second camp/combine.

Jackson was tested in shuttle and vertical-jump drills and also matched up against receivers in 7-on-7 and 1-on-1 formats. He believed he’d held his own, but he had a couple of anxious nights waiting for his phone to ring.

“I thought I had done what I needed to do, but I was very relieved when I got a call from the coaches,” Jackson said.

Gray plans to open the sea-

ROWAN FROM 1B catcher Alex Morgan. Morgan put the tag on a runner trying to score from first base.

Jennings, Garczynski and Morgan are competing for playing time and roster spots.

With Rowan playing its first non-league game of the season, coach Jim Gantt wanted to see what they could do.

Garczynski drove in two runs with an extra-base smash in the third, while Morgan had three hits. Nolan Meyerhoeffer got his first start of the season in left field and had two hits before cramping.

“There were a lot of bright spots,” Gantt said. “Jennings had a great night, and I thought Morgan looked good.

We had some new guys out there tonight at crunch-time, and there was some nervousness, but you’ve got to give them a chance. This game can really help us if we let it.”

Rocky Mount (6-3) came to town with good arms and the Berry twins — Matthew and Thomas — who were terrors in the middle of the lineup.

son with a 68-man roster and has a seasoned coaching staff led by veteran head coach and AD Todd Helms, who has been on staffs at Coastal Carolina and Newberry.

Former NFL linebacker Corey Jenkins is the defensive coordinator, while former Georgia All-American safety Jeff Hipp coaches the secondary.

Jackson played at West only his senior season.

His father, also named Darryl Jackson, was a great running back and two-time county player of the year at North.

Jackson started at defensive back for the Cavaliers before transferring to West for his senior year, along with his younger brother Desmond, a promising tailback.

“At first, it was very tough, learning a new system and new coaches and new teammates, but once I got into the starting lineup, things started to click for me,” Jackson said.

“West football is about working and winning, and I was surrounded by a lot of talent.

It was great to be part of a championship team. I’m proud every day of that ring.”

Jackson intercepted five passes, including picks in the playoffs against Northwest Cabarrus and Concord. He had two interceptions against talented Statesville.

“He really does have a shot

Thomas had two doubles, two singles and a walk in his five plate appearances and scored four times. “ T h e GARCZYNSKI Berrys can hit, but I take no credit,” Rocky Mount coach Hank Jones said. “They could hit when I got them.”

Garczynski’s big hit and Andy Austin’s RBI single staked Rowan starter Matt Laurens to a 3-0 lead, but Rocky Mount laced three extra-base hits in the fourth for a 3-3 tie. Jennings hit his homer in the bottom half to put Rowan back on top 6-3.

“Mason’s power was a surprise,” Gant said. “That ball was gone when it left his bat.”

Ethan Free and Alex Bost followed Laurens to the mound, pitched effectively, and allowed Rowan to take a 6-4 lead into the seventh.

Both Berrys reached against reliever Dusty Agner to start that inning. Avery Rogers relieved Agner, and the first batter he faced bunted. Rogers fielded the ball in

Jackson showed that against South Rowan when he returned an interception 55 yards for a touchdown late in the first half.

“I guess I turn into a running back like my brother when I get the ball,” Jackson said with a laugh. “Every interception was fun because we had a great group of defensive backs (Georgia Tech’s Domonique Noble, Catawba’s Trey Mashore and West Liberty’s Eric Cowan all are moving on to college ball). Any time one guy got an intercep-

tion, all four celebrated. And we all blocked hard for each other and tried to take those picks back all the way.”

West had 24 interceptions on its way to 16-0 and its third straight 3A state championship.

Jackson knows the months ahead won’t be easy.

Helms has promised a military-style boot camp for the incoming recruits. After that, there’s going to be a lot of classes and 11 football games against a wide variety of opponents.

Jennings walked and made it to third base in the eighth, but Austin flied deep to right for the third out.

Rocky Mount loaded the bases with none out in the ninth and picked up three runs on two sac flies and Jeremy Sloop’s RBI single.

Rowan was shut down by Trellis Ashley for four innings but tried to rally in the ninth.

Singles by Nathan Fulbright and Matt Mauldin and Dakota Brown’s walk filled the bases with none out, but reliever Cam Webb entered and retired Morgan on a well-hit fly to center field. Then Will Sapp’s bouncer to third base resulted in a game-ending DP, the third of the night turned by the visitors.

“It’s a great win for us, coming from behind in this ballpark,” Jones said. “We got

Gonzalez rises to 50 RBIs Associated Press

The AL roundup...

BOSTON — Adrian Gonzalez hit a two-run homer to reach 50 RBIs for the season, and Carl Crawford had a threerun shot, powering John Lackey and the Boston Red Sox to a 6-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Sunday.

Lackey pitched into the sixth inning in his first start in nearly a month as Boston swept the A’s to salvage a split of a six-game homestand that started with three losses to the White Sox. Matt Albers, Tommy Hottovy and Dan Wheeler combined for 2 1-3 innings of twohit ball before Daniel Bard worked the ninth for his first save — one day after closer Jonathan Papelbon blew a save opportunity and was ejected in the ninth inning of Boston’s 98 victory.

Rangers 2, Indians 0 CLEVELAND — C.J. Wilson pitched into the eighth inning, Mitch Moreland and Elvis Andrus homered, and Texas earned its first fourgame sweep in Cleveland in nearly 33 years.

Wilson (6-3) allowed three hits over 7 2-3 innings. The left-hander fanned seven, walked two and hit a batter.

Darren Oliver struck out the only batter he faced to end the eighth, and Neftali Feliz finished the three-hitter for his 13th save in 16 chances.

Texas has won five in a row and eight of nine to extend its lead in the AL West. The slumping Indians still lead the AL Central despite dropping

nine of 12.

Tigers 7, White Sox 3 CHICAGO — Ryan Raburn hit a grand slam, Miguel Cabrera homered for the second straight day, and Detroit topped Chicago.

The Tigers captured the last two in the weekend series to move within 21/2 games of AL Central-leading Cleveland.

They have won 11 of 12 against the White Sox. Brad Penny (5-4) rebounded from a shaky first inning to win. He allowed three runs and eight hits, struck out five and walked two in five innings.

Twins 6, Royals 0 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Brian Duensing pitched eight sharp innings, and Jason Repko snapped an 0-for-14 skid and drove in three runs, giving Minnesota a victory over Kansas City and its first fourgame sweep in almost four years.

The four-game winning streak is a season best for the Twins, who were without Justin Morneau and Denard Span for the second straight day.

Duensing (3-5) gave up six hits with one walk and four strikeouts in his longest outing of the season and avoided becoming the first Twins starter in four years to lose six straight decisions.

Bartolo Colon (3-3) allowed three runs and six hits in 5 1-3 innings as the Yankees concluded a 6-3 road trip and maintained their one-game lead over Boston in the AL East.

Derek Jeter had a single in five at-bats to move within 14 hits of 3,000. The Yankees begin a 10-game homestand Tuesday night against the Red Sox. Mariano Rivera got three outs for his 16th save in 19 chances and the 575th of his

career, 26 shy of Trevor Hoffman’s major league record.

Mariners 9, Rays 6 SEATTLE — Miguel Olivo hit a tiebreaking threerun homer off Joel Peralta in the eighth inning and Seattle for a win over Tampa Bay. Ichiro Suzuki and Greg Halman each drove in two runs for Seattle, which has won six straight series and 14 of 18 games overall. Brandon League pitched a scoreless ninth for his 16th save, completing the Mariners’ 15th come-from-behind victory. Jamey Wright (2-2) got the win.

Tampa Bay scored three times in the eighth to take a 6-5 lead, but J.P. Howell (01) couldn’t hold on. Justin Smoak walked with one out in the bottom half, and Jack Cust and Adam Kennedy followed with base hits.

Jake Lowery’s two-run homer in the fifth tied it at 3 for James Madison (4219).

STETSON 5, NC STATE 3 COLUMBIA, S.C. — North Carolina State coach Elliott Avent thought his team was gelling at last and hadn’t wanted the season to end. It almost didn’t.

Catcher Danny Canela, who hit two of his three homers this season in the Columbia Regional, flied out deep to right center with two runners on to end the Wolfpack’s year in a 53 loss to Stetson on Sunday.

The Hatters (43-19) got two hits and an RBI from Ben Carhart and some stellar pitching throughout, including a save from closer Jake Boyd.

VIRGINIA 13, ECU 1 CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Tyler Wilson pitched 6 1-3 strong innings and Chris Taylor drove in

four runs as Virginia beat East Carolina 13-1 on Sunday to win the Charlottesville Regional.

The Cavaliers (52-9), the No. 1 national seed, won their seventh in a row, set the school mark for victories and will host a super regional next weekend for the second consecutive year.

FLORIDA 11, MIAMI 4 GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida went more than two decades without beating Miami in the NCAA tournament.

The Gators lost close games and lopsided affairs, dropped regional openers and title bouts. Simply put, the Hurricanes owned them in the postseason.

These days, Florida is enjoying a little payback.

Preston Tucker drove in five runs, Alex Panteliodis pitched six shutout innings and the Gators beat their rival 11-4 to win the Gainesville Regional on Sunday.

UCONN 7, CLEMSON 6 CLEMSON, S.C. — Ryan Fuller’s two-out single in the bottom of the ninth inning Sunday night gave Connecticut a 7-6 victory over Clemson and set up a deciding game in the regional.

ARKANSAS 11, CHARLOTTE 3

TEMPE, Ariz. — Kyle Robinson had a double and triple and drove in three runs for Arkansas and Ryan Stanek held Charlotte to three runs on six hits to help the Razorbacks eliminate the 49ers 11-3 on Sunday in the NCAA Tempe Regional.

Pujols ends it again for Cards Associated Press

The NL roundup...

ST. LOUIS — Albert Pujols hit a game-ending homer in extra innings for the second straight day, beating the Chicago Cubs with a leadoff shot in the 10th inning of the St. Louis Cardinals’ 3-2 victory on Sunday.

Pujols hammered a fastball from Rodrigo Lopez (01) an estimated 446 feet to left for his 10th career gameending homer. His fifth shot during a seven-game homestand and No. 13 for the season gave the Cardinals a three-game sweep over the Cubs, who have lost nine of 11.

The Cardinals were down to their last strike before Ryan Theriot tied it with an RBI double off Carlos Marmol, driving in pinch-runner Tony Cruz from first. Theriot extended his hitting streak to 19 games, the Cardinals’ longest since Pujols hit in 30 straight in 2009.

Phillies 7, Pirates 3 PITTSBURGH — Roy Halladay pitched seven effective innings, and Philadelphia snapped a season-high four-game losing streak, beating Pittsburgh Pirates 73 on Sunday to avoid a sweep.

Neil Walker hit a two-run homer in the first inning, one of six Pittsburgh hits off Halladay (8-3), who had six strikeouts and one walk in tying for the most wins in the majors.

Dodgers 9, Reds 6 CINCINNATI — Dodgers pitcher Chad Billingsley drove in a career-high three runs with a homer, a double and a bases-loaded walk, and Los Angeles beat Cincinnati again.

Matt Kemp added a tworun homer — his third in five at-bats — as the Dodgers improved to 28-10 against the Reds since 2006.

Billingsley (5-4) lasted only five innings, but helped himself build a big lead.

Mets 6, Braves 4 NEW YORK — R.A. Dickey pitched eight baffling innings, Jose Reyes hit an RBI

double and scored twice and New York beat Atlanta for the second straight night.

Carlos Beltran had a runscoring double off Tim Hudson (4-5) before fouling a ball off his right shin and leaving the game in pain. Justin Turner added an RBI single and the banged-up Mets finished 5-5 on a homestand against Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Atlanta.

Brewers 6, Marlins 5, 11 innings MIAMI — Josh Wilson homered with two out in the 11th inning, and Milwaukee topped Florida by a run for the third day in a row.

The Brewers won despite blowing a 5-0 lead. Wilson’s hit off Mike Dunn (4-3) was the first for Milwaukee in 5 2-3 innings against Florida’s bullpen.

Milwaukee is 19-6 since May 9, best in the majors.

Giants 2, Rockies 1 SAN FRANCISCO — Ryan Vogelsong pitched eight fantastic innings, and Andres Torres singled home the tiebreaking run to lead San Francisco over Colorado.

Freddy Sanchez also drove in a run for the Giants, who won their fourth in five games.

Miguel Tejada had two hits.

Chris Iannetta homered for the Rockies, who are 4-12 in their last 16 games and have not won back-to-back games since May 16-17.

Nationals 9, Diamondbacks 4, 11 innings PHOENIX — Rick Ankiel drove in the go-ahead run with a two-out walk in the 11th inning and Mike Morse followed with a grand slam, leading Washington to a wild win over Arizona.

Managers Jim Riggleman of the Nationals and Kirk Gibson of the Diamondbacks were among four ejections, and Washington was hit by a pitch four times, including second baseman Danny Espinosa twice.

Padres 7, Astros 2 SAN DIEGO — Chase Headley extended his careerhigh hitting streak to 15 games with an RBI double and San Diego won three consecutive home games for the first time this season.

the saw palmetto is the substance responsible, and the celery is only incidental.

Have you made any other dietary changes, such as reducing your caffeine or alcohol intake? They can act as diuretics and can worsen BPH symptoms.

Thank you for sharing this useful tip that is sure to be tried by many men with the condition. Readers who are interested in receiving related information can order my Health Reports “The Prostate Gland” and “Compelling Home Remedies” by sending a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order for each report to Peter H. Gott, M.D., P.O. Box 433, Lakeville, CT 06039-0433. Be sure to mention the title(s) when writing or print an order form off my website’s direct link at www.AskDrGottMD.com/order— form.pdf.

Dear Dr. Gott: What causes calcification of cells? I have calcified cells in my right breast. I just had my sixmonth mammogram to check them. I will go back to my doctor soon to hear the results but would appreciate your comments.

Dear Reader: The calcifications to which you refer represent calcium deposits within the breast tissue that appear as flecks or white spots on a mammogram. They typically appear as tiny grains of salt and cannot be felt by palpation and are particularly prevalent following menopause. While commonly benign, certain calcification patterns, such as clus-

ters with irregular shapes, may indicate cancer. Should a radiologist or physician have any question, additional testing such as a follow-up mammogram, ultrasound or biopsy may be appropriate.

Causes of benign calcifications include cysts in the breasts, dermal or vascular calcifications, cell secretion, ectasia of the mammary duct, prior radiation treatment for cancer, fibroadenomas, mastitis, prior injury and more.

Your physician(s) will definitely want to see you on a timely basis to be assured the calcifications remain stable and don’t change in appearance. Keep informed, and follow your doctor’s advice. If for any reason you are uncomfortable in either waiting and watching or having specific testing performed, request a second opinion.

Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

Vince Lombardi was the famous coach of the Green Bay Packers, the team that won the first two Super Bowls. He said, “If you aren’t fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm.”

Look at the South hand in today’s diagram. You open one heart, West makes a takeout double, partner passes, and East advances with two clubs. What now?

Yes, you might open two clubs, but if the opponents pre-empt in spades, it could get awkward.

Whether you bid two diamonds or three diamonds, partner gives simple preference to hearts. Are you going higher?

West’s double was in the modern style — caring less

have continued with three diamonds, then settled for three hearts. (Or South could have rebid three diamonds and passed out three hearts.)

Against four hearts, West led a low spade — a strange choice. East won with his queen, cashed the king, and played a third round. South ruffed and led the diamond king, which West did well to duck. But East erred by playing his seven, not the 10 — as the start of a highlow with a doubleton.

West took the diamond queen with the ace and led the spade ace, but declarer ruffed, cashed the heart ace, and continued with the heart queen. So South went down only one, losabout distribution (4-3-3-3 be- ing two spades, one heart and ing the worst) than the high- one diamond. card count. Then East should have advanced with three clubs, showing 9-11 points, which his hand was worth.

At the table, South rebid two diamonds. And when North corrected to two hearts, South, fired with enthusiasm, jumped to four hearts. South should

Dear Dr. Gott: I have had an enlarged prostate gland for a number of years and have found saw palmetto beneficial in relieving the symptoms. I have also modified my diet and try to eat several stalks of raw celery every day.

Much to my surprise, I can now sleep DR. PETER through the night without GOTT getting up for the usual bathroom break. It is also possible to go for six to eight hours during the daytime without the urge to urinate. I am not sure why eating celery alleviates the symptoms of BPH, but I think this dietary tip might be helpful to readers with a similar medical condition.

Dear Reader: Saw palmetto has been used by millions of men for relief from the symptoms of BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia), otherwise known as an enlarged prostate. When BPH occurs, and it happens to almost every man as he ages, pressure is placed on the urethra, causing problems with urination. The condition is not cancerous, nor does it increase the risk for prostate cancer.

Symptoms can include urinary retention, incontinence, pain with urination, a slowed start of the urinary stream, dribbling and the annoying need to urinate several times a night.

I am unclear as to how celery is helping ease your symptoms of BPH. Perhaps

Wet weather will continue in the West Monday as a cold, late season low pressure system pushes inland through central California. As the system progresses, precipitation will continue to spread through Pacific Northwest, northern and central California and into the Intermountain West. Moisture from this system will stream across the higher elevations, bringing threats of snow accumulation to the northern Sierra Nevadas through the morning as well as chances of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Expect below normal temperatures to continue in these regions into the mid-week. Elsewhere in the West, low pressure moving through the Intermountain West will create a slight risk of severe thunderstorm development in parts of Montana, northern Wyoming, and the western Dakotas. While the main threats with these storms will be damaging wind and hail, isolated strong tornadoes may be possible. In the Midwest, a warm front will lift northeastward through the eastern Dakotas and the Mid-Mississippi Valley. Showers and thunderstorms will develop ahead of this system in the Upper Mississippi Valley and the Upper Great Lakes. There is a slight risk of severe thunderstorm development from parts of the Upper Mississippi Valley eastward through southern Michigan. The main threats with these storms will be large hail and damaging wind. In the East, a ridge of high pressure will prevail in the Deep South with hot temperatures, allowing daytime highs to reach into the mid-90S to near the century mark. High humidity over the region will trigger high heat indices near and exceeding 105 degrees. In addition to heat, expect poor air quality in metropolitan areas as the system keeps pollutants near the surface. Showers and thunderstorms will likely form along the Central Gulf Coast and in the southern Mid-Atlantic. Finally, to the north, a weak cold front may bring light showers to parts of New England.
