that,” she says. “I really, really needed support because my mom was so sick. “I kind of fell for him.” Life had never been easy for Madison. “My parents fought,” she says. “It showed me what I do and don’t want out of a relationship.” Just 10 days before Madison’s 15th birthday, her mother died. She went to live with her grandparents, Elizabeth and Leon Long, while two of her sisters, Amanda and Sarah, found other living arrangements. Her sister, Amy, was already living on her own. Madison’s grandparents lived in the Carson district, so she transferred there from East Rowan High School, leaving her friends behind.

Madison Long was only 14 when her parents died. She was helping to care for her mother, who had cirrhosis of the liver and Hepatitis C, when her father died of a drug overdose. Madison says it was her boyfriend, Gary Scott, who helped her through it. Gary was her cousin’s best friend, and she had met him at her grandparents’ house. “We talked for about four months and had starting going out with friends,” she says. Madison says she became so overwhelmed taking care of her mother after her father died that she began to neglect herself. “Gary made sure I was taking a bath every day and getting something to eat and stuff like

As it turned out, her grandmother already suspected that Madison was pregnant. “She was very, very upset that I didn’t tell her as soon as I found out,” she says. Soon afterward, Madison moved in with Gary and his mother and grandmother. “My grandmother didn’t want KATHY CHAFFIN/SALISBURY POST

Hall and Mitchell focus on education, budget BY KARISSA MINN
kminn@salisburypost.com
Two county commissioners running for re-election focused on budget and education issues in a candidate forum Tuesday. Rowan County Commissioners Chad Mitchell and Tina Hall addressed voters during a candidate forum Tuesday at Catawba College. In the June 22 second primary election, the two will compete for a spot on the November ballot Mitchell and Hall finished third and fourth, respectively, in the May 4 Republican primary race for county commissioner. Mitchell didn’t receive a large enough share of the votes to avoid a runoff election. He is running for a third term on the board of commissioners, and Hall is seeking a second. Dr. Michael Bitzer, associate professor of political science and history at Catawba, served as a moderator. He asked the candidates several questions on different topics, some of which came from Post readers. The first question addressed the topic of school funding, fresh in many people’s minds from the county’s public hearing on the budget Monday evening. A Post reader asked if the candidates were willing to support meeting Rowan-Salisbury Schools halfway in making up the $3 million gap in its funding request. Mitchell, 34, is a teacher at East Rowan High School. He replied that while the county could fund half or even all of the request for one year, it

likely wouldn’t be able to sustain that funding. A smaller increase, he said, may be the best option. “We have to fund the schools at a level where they can operate and do what they’re supposed to do at a level of sustainability that the county can continue funding,” he said. Hall, 59, is retired from the RowanSalisbury Schools, where she had been a teacher, assistant principal, director and principal. She said the county couldn’t come up with $3.3 million as a continuing item, but commissioners should work to provide some of that increase. She said there is a good chance the state will give more responsibilities to counties in order to balance its budget in future years, leaving counties with even less money. “As a commissioner, I have to look at the big picture,” Hall said. Another question asked how infrastructure repairs and maintenance at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College fit into the candidates’ budgetary priorities. Hall said the school has dire needs, but the county will have a hard time coming up with the $3 million to $10 million it would take to address those needs. She suggested putting an item on the November ballot, similar to one recently passed to pay for a jail annex, that would propose a temporary tax increase to pay for RCCC’s capital needs. “I know we have a very kind and understanding community in Rowan

A Salisbury woman will spend at least 23 years in prison for trying to murder her boyfriend with rat poison. On Monday, Superior Court Judge Ted Royster sentenced Debora Kay Nelson to 23 to 281⁄3 years in prison for the attempted first-degree murder of her boyfriend. A Rowan County jury convicted Nelson Thursday of using rat poison to try and kill Richard Whitling, the man she was living with at 350 Old Wood Lane. Royster made his decision on the NELSON sentence after the jury found that an aggravating factor existed — that Nelson took advantage of a position of trust or confidence to commit the crime. Nelson is 49; Whitling, 76. The Rowan County Sheriff's Office charged Nelson in 2007 after following up on an anonymous tip that she had been putting rat poison in Whitling's coffee over an extended period of time. He was hospitalized after her arrest. A January 2009 trying of the case was declared a mistrial when the jury could not reach a verdict. Nelson has been in jail since April 2007. Assistant District Attorney Karen Biernacki prosecuted the case last week.

An arson investigation is under way in a fire that destroyed a Jake Alexander Boulevard business. Salisbury Auto Spa, a car detailing business at 1500 Jake Alexander Blvd., was destroyed in the blaze around 3 a.m. Monday. Deputy Police Chief Steve Whitley said two people have called police to report seeing a older model — possibly a late 1990s white Ford pickup in the area. The callers said the vehicle made three or four trips through the adjacent Jake Alexander Auto Sales and by the detail shop. The callers said that after the vehicle passed by a final time there was a loud pop and then flames. Salisbury Police are working with the city fire investigators and the SBI. Anyone who has any information is asked to call 704-638-5333. The auto detailing shop and adjacent auto sales business are owned by Mark Honeycutt.

me to,” she says, “but at the time, she had to work all the time. It was easier for me to get back and forth to the doctor.” Though she had only been going to Carson for a short while, Madison says she had developed two or three close friendships with students. “When they found out I was pregnant, they were supportive,” she says, “but you could tell it put space between us.” Four months into her pregnancy, Madison heard that one of her best friends at East named Holly was also pregnant. “So we went through our pregnancies together,” she says. Madison was able to complete her sophomore year at Carson and gave birth to Sage on July 18, 2008. Holly was there for the delivery, and Madison says she was with Holly when she gave birth to her son, Kyle. They have remained good friends and get together with their sons for “little park dates,” she says. Gary’s mother took time off from her job when Sage was born to help Madison and
Gary with him. She took care of him during the day when they returned to Carson. When Sage got older and Gary’s mother returned to work, Madison says they tried leaving him with three or four different babysitters. “But it never worked out,” he says. “Finally, at the end of my boyfriend’s senior year, he dropped out and starting watching the baby full time.” Madison says Gary plans to return to school at some point to earn his high school equivalency. They have rented an apartment together in Granite Quarry. “We have disagreements like all couples,” Madison says, “but we sit down and talk about them. We know that we have a little boy, so we work through it and talk about it. That helps a lot.” Brooke Misenheimer, guidance counselor at Carson, has worked with Madison since she transferred there her sophomore year. “I have truly been amazed at how she has overcome so many obstacles and so many challenges,” she says. “I am just so, so proud of her. “Words just can’t express how happy I am for her and just how amazed I am at what she’s been able to accomplish despite the challenges that

The forum is in advance of a runoff election between Mitchell and Hall for seats on the Rowan County Commission. Both are current members of the board. see fit. “Sometimes, we get the idea that development is bad, and no development is allowed on farmland,” Mitchell said. “That is where I do not believe a county-wide plan is in the best interest of citizens.” Hall said that a land use plan, while not the same as a farmland preservation plan, has worked well for western Rowan County and will likely be expanded to
the rest of the county. “The plan is not all that some folks wanted, and it’s more than other folks wanted, but it’s a good start,” she said. Other questions asked the candidates about their long-term vision for Rowan County, and what they would like to see funded once revenues improve. Hall stressed open government, saying that the best decisions are made
when discussions are public. With more revenue, she said she would like to see more work done on RCCC and the county airport. She also has long held a dream of an International Baccalaureate program in the county to draw the “best minds” and businesses here. Mitchell said his three main priorities were financial stability, full employment and a great school sys-
tem. He said he would like to see RCCC’s needs addressed, and lottery money — currently used to pay down the county’s bond debt — transitioned to the schools for capital needs. If all service levels are adequate, he said, he would then seek to cut taxes. Catawba College, the Salisbury Post and the Rowan County Chamber of Commerce sponsored Tuesday’s forum.
have come her way over the last few years.” Misenheimer says Madison may be the most resilient young woman she has ever known. “She has been able to maintain this positive attitude and has stayed so motivated.” Madison, who will graduate from Carson on Friday with a 3.6 grade-point average, received the $500 J. Michael McDuffie Memorial Scholarship for students who persevere through a significant hardship and excel in school. She also received a Good Beginnings for Teen Parents Scholarship for $500 and an F&M Bank Scholarship for $500. Madison plans to attend Rowan-Cabarrus Community College and earn her RN degree in the two-year program there. “I’ve wanted to be a nurse for a long, long time,” she says, “since I was about 5. Once my mom got sick, I was like ‘This is what I have to do. This is what I love to do.’ ”
Her career goal is to become a labor and delivery nurse. Madison says Misenheimer was always there for her when she had a question or needed to talk about problems at home and school. “She would help me to figure it out and help me not to be so stressed.” Misenheimer says Madison went through some major life changes at Carson. “I think a lot of times, she just needed somebody to listen to her. Madison is very open and honest and very willing to share. That’s something I really respect about her is she’ll tell you exactly what’s she’s thinking.” Madison says all of the teachers and staff at Carson have been very supportive of her. When it comes to issues she faces as a young mother, Madison says she receives support through the Parents as Teachers Program sponsored by the Rowan County Adolescent and Family En-
richment Council. As part of the program, a parent educator is assigned to each teen parent. Mary Burrage is currently assigned to help Madison. “She comes out to my house every two weeks,” Madison says, “and she shows me different things that I can do with Sage and makes sure he’s doing what he’s supposed to do at different ages.” Sage, for example, at almost 23 months, is a little delayed in speech. “He’s not bad,” Madison says, “but I was concerned about that, so she gave me different handouts showing me ways I could work with him and try to get him to talk to me.” Orrie Bowes previously worked with Madison as a parent educator. “She’s not my educator anymore,” she says, “but she and I still talk daily and she gives me advice. She’s like my best friend.” When asked what she would say to a young teenager who just found out she’s
pregnant, Madison says she would encourage her not to drop out of school. “There are resources that can help you,” she says. “You just have to seek them out and not give up.” Madison says she believes that “God doesn’t put too much on you, so when you feel like you can’t go on, remember He knows you can handle it.” Though she doesn’t attend church regularly, Madison says she went to church faithfully with her grandmother until she was 7 years old. ‘I still go every once in a while,” she says, “and I pray.” After giving birth to Sage, a cute little boy with blonde hair, Madison says she knew she really had to put her mind to doing well in school. Knowing that she has to be able to provide for him is what keeps her going. “I want his life to be a lot better than mine was when I was little,” she says. Contact Kathy Chaffin at 704-797-4249.

the state. He said before any repairing or rebuilding work starts, though, there needs to be a plan in place. “We have to work with RCCC, Rowan-Salisbury Schools and Rowan County general government and know exactly what buildings we need in Rowan County, when we need them and... how we intend on paying for them,” Mitchell said. When asked what the key difference was between them, Hall and Mitchell both said that while their voting records are quite similar, distinctions can be found in their governing style. “I’m a full-time commissioner,” Hall said. “I’m retired, so I am able to devote 100 percent of my time to being a county commissioner.” Hall also said that she and Mitchell differed on a key vote on the tax rate in 2007. She voted for revenueneutral rate, and Mitchell did not. Mitchell said that while he isn’t a full-time commissioner, his time spent in the schools and the community gives him a different perspective than someone might get by staying in the county office. “I think I get a better understanding of what citizens of Rowan County need, want and deserve from talking with them outside of the context of an official capacity,” Mitchell said. One question Tuesday asked about candidates’ priorities when balancing the county budget. “Is it raising revenues, cutting county staff, cutting county programs such as li-

braries and parks, and/or cutting education funding?” Bitzer asked. Mitchell answered that he does not support increasing revenue in the form of raising taxes or fees. Fortunately, he said, the county hasn’t had to make major cuts to county programs or education funding, because it has used the savings in its fund balance to sustain services. Hall said the county has cut staff, changed its insurance carrier and made other changes to reign in spending. In the future, she said, the county may have to look into cutting hours at the parks and libraries in order to remain financially sound. The candidates were asked how much the county should dip into its $22 million fund balance to continue to fund requests from schools and other county agencies. Mitchell said that the county already has dipped into its fund balance for $1 million last year, and it likely will do so again this year for $1.5 to $3 million. If revenues don’t improve significantly, another $3 million hit the following year could bring it down to $16 million. Mitchell and Hall both agreed that commissioners should follow the advice of County Manager Gary Page not to fall below the $16 million mark. Beyond that, bond rating agencies will view the county as fiscally irresponsible and increase its interest rates. The candidates also were asked if a county farmland preservation plan would be a priority. Mitchell replied that while agriculture is important to the county, people generally should be able to do with their land what they

Landis, Mecklenburg County enter into 9-year recycling contract BY SHAVONNE POTTS
spotts@salisburypost.com
LANDIS — Town residents will be able to recycle under an agreement approved by the Board of Aldermen this week. The board voted Monday to enter into a nine-year recycling contract with Mecklenburg County. The service will begin in August. The service won’t mean an additional cost to residents although the town will be respon-
sible for transporting recyclables to the Metrolina Recycling Center in Charlotte. Mecklenburg, which normally would charge a tipping fee if the town’s recyclables reached a certain limit, will sell the recyclable materials and won’t charge Landis for taking them as long as the center’s revenue exceeds its operating costs. “They’re excited to receive our recyclables,” Town Manager Reed Linn said. The town would have to
share in Mecklenburg’s cost to dispose of non-recyclable waste mixed in with recyclables if the waste reaches a particular percentage. Alderman Tony Hilton said the program will help the environment and save money on tipping fees. He also asked that residents be informed about the program via media outlets and inserts in the utility bills. The town board discussed offering curbside recycling during its earlier budget work-
shops, though Monday’s discussion didn’t specify whether residents will have curbside bins under the approved plan. Town leaders didn’t discuss how much it would cost to deliver the recyclables to Mecklenburg County. The board also: • Denied a request from True Homes, developers of the Oaks of Landis subdivision along U.S. 29, to reduce square footage in some new homes. The developers asked the
board to drop the minimum size from 1,400 square feet to 1,170 square feet because they want to market to retirees who want less space. Planning board members expressed concern at their May and June meetings about mixing smaller homes with existing larger homes, the potential effect on property values in the area and questions about whether families would be allowed to buy the smaller homes if retirees don’t.

Salisbury Symphony Orchestra executive director about Susan Trivette
BY MARK WINEKA
mwineka@salisburypost.com
Susan Trivette, far left, performs with the Salisbury Symphony Orchestra during the 2008 Pops at the Post concert. Trivette has been a flutist in the orchestra since she was a junior in high school in 1969.
The driver of a tractor-trailer struck Monday morning by a westbound train near Shaver Wood Products was listed in fair condition today at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. The N.C. Highway Patrol identified the driver as Ronald Lee Shoemaker, 47, of Statesville, a driver for American Cartage. Trooper J.N. Horton charged Shoemaker with careless and reckless driving. Horton reported that two eyewitnesses said Shoemaker’s rig, which was leaving Shaver Wood Products and heading toward U.S. 70, approached the tracks slowly but continued into the rail crossing without stopping. The rig was hit by a westbound Norfolk Southern freight train. The collision sent the tractor-trailer down an embankment and onto its side, where it caught on fire. Passing motorists and three men from Shaver Wood Products — a couple of whom were mowing grass — helped free Shoemaker from the cab of the truck. One of the workers, William Trull, was treated at Iredell Memorial Medical Center for smoke inhalation. Shoemaker initially went to Iredell Memorial, but was flown later to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem. Horton said the driver’s injuries included a neck injury and cuts to his face. Shoemaker doesn’t remember what happened, Horton said. The crossing leaving Shaver Wood Products is marked by both a stop sign and a rail crossing sign, according to Horton.

One note at a time Susan Trivette uses music, teaching to serve the community Watching Susan Trivette’s fingers dance along the keys of the flute as she plays “Simple Gifts,” it’s obvious she loves performing. “Every time you play it’s a different experience,” she said. “It’s not like listening to a recording, which is the same every time you listen to it. “Live music is always a new experience.” The Rowan County native has been performing as a flutist in the Salisbury Symphony Orchestra since her junior year of high school in 1969. She began playing the instrument in sixth grade and
auditioned for the orchestra at the suggestion of her piano teacher. “It was very intimidating to do that,” she said. “But it got me ready for the college auditions.” Trivette took a four-year hiatus from the orchestra to attend the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where she received her Bachelor of Music Education with a concentration in flute and secondary in organ. After graduating, she returned to Rowan County with plans to teach high school band, but with no positions available at the time she accepted a job as an elementary music teacher. Trivette fell in with love with teaching elementary music and
ended up holding the position in the Rowan-Salisbury School System for 31 years. It was a position she found both rewarding and valuable. “(Music) is a way for students to excel when they can’t excel academically,” she said. “It gives them self confidence, improves their self esteem and they learn that you have to work for things to happen — you just can’t go straight to class and not practice. “You have to work at it and sometimes it takes a while to see results.” Her dedication to education earned her the honor of Granite Quarry Elementary’s Teacher of the Year in 1998. Trivette’s commitment to ed-
ucation extends far beyond the classroom. After retiring in 2008, she took on the role of director of education with the Salisbury Symphony Orchestra. She is responsible for running the after-school strings program and collaborating with the school system to offer special programs and workshops throughout the year. “She has been a wonderful partner from day one; she’s marvelous to work with,” Linda Jones, executive director of the orchestra, said. “From the beginning she was always asking what she could do.”

Wife of internationally known philanthropist dies at 67 BY MARK WINEKA
mwineka@salisburypost.com
Josephine “Josie” Tucker Robertson, wife of Salisbury native and internationally known hedge fund manager and philanthropist Julian Robertson Jr., died Tuesday at her home in New York City. She was 67 and had put up a long fight against breast cancer. It was in his wife’s honor — and
as a surprise — that Julian Robertson gave $25 million to New York’s Lincoln Center in 1998. The plaza outside the Lincoln Center bears her name. Robertson said at the time it’s one of New York’s most beautiful spots, and it was lucky to have his wife’s name. With an $18 million initial endowment, Julian Robertson Jr. established the Blanche and Julian
Robertson Family Foundation in 1997 in honor of his late parents, longtime Salisbury residents. The foundation, overseen by a mostly local board of directors, has become Rowan County’s foremost charitable organization over the past dozen years. David Setzer, executive director

CRIME ROUNDUP Family members charged with intimidating witness Family members of a man charged with stealing a woman’s medication are now facing charges of intimidating a witness. Maracella Merie Goble, 30, and her husband, Kim M. GOBLE Delain Goble, both of 1375 Percy Lane, Rockwell, were charged Sunday with felony intimidating or interfering with witnesses. Deputy Chief Steve Whitley of the Salisbury Police Department, said Marcella Goble is the sister of Joshua Craig, who K. GOBLE was previously charged with stealing medication and awaiting a court date on July 1. According to the police report, the victim in the larceny case was at a bus stop in downtown Salisbury on May 30. She reported to police that the Gobles were in a car that pulled up. The victim and witnesses told police that Gobles cursed the victim and told her “you’re a dead b----, if you go to court.” Additional threats were also reported.

TRIVETTE FROM 3A
Jones said Trivette was immediately met with challenges upon taking on her new role. When the school system cut funding for the afterschool strings program, Trivette didn’t accept the news, instead, she got busy writing grants and searching for options to keep the program intact. Her enthusiasm encouraged people to go online to vote in the Pepsi Refresh Project, which landed the program a $5,000 grant. “We got that grant because she got the community involved and excited.” Jones said. “That (money) is going to make our after-school strings program strong again. “(Trivette) just fanned the flames until the fire built back up.” Although Trivette has spent most of her life as an educator, she also finds time to use her skills to serve the community. “She’s been in the community a long, long time and she’s very much a part of it,” Jones said.

Investigators followed a footEATON path from the plants to 425 Goodman Road, and found an additional marijuana plant growing beside the front porch. Investigators received permission to search the residence and found additional items related to growing marijuana. Investigators later interviewed Eaton who admitted that the plants belonged to him.

Centralina Council of Government asks Rowan to keep membership BY KARISSA MINN
kminn@salisburypost.com
Representatives from the Centralina Council of Government (CCOG) asked county commissioners Monday to keep Rowan County’s membership to the group. At its first budget workshop last week, the Rowan County Board of Commissioners asked County Manager Gary Page to evaluate the costs and benefits of membership in CCOG and two other partnerships. Commissioners have talked previously about pulling out of the group, but the proposed budget still includes about $34,000 in dues. Al Sharp, executive director of CCOG, spoke during the county’s public hearing on the proposed budget Monday. “We have just conducted a blue-ribbon panel, and Centralina is refocusing on needed regional policy issues that will affect us all,” Sharp said. Those issues include air quality, water resources and transportation planning — including the Yadkin River Bridge, he said. “In economic development, we’ve been working with infrastructure issues,” Sharp said. “We’ve brought more than $10 million to the region. Regretfully, none of this is to Rowan County because you’ve not

of the foundation, said he learned of Josie Robertson’s death Tuesday afternoon in an e-mail from Julian’s sister, Wyndham. He informed members of the board of directors after receiving that notice. The Robertsons had been married for 38 years and had three boys: Spencer of Brooklyn, Jay of Hawk’s Bay, New Zealand; and Alexander of Manhattan. The daughter of Robert and Josephine “Pimmie” Spencer Tucker, Josie Robertson was born May 16, 1943, in San Antonio, and graduated from Saint Mary’s Hall there in 1961. She later attended Briarcliff College and graduated from the University of Texas in 1965. Before her marriage to Robertson in 1972, Josie Robertson and her sister-inlaw started and managed Tuckertown, a business designing and producing Christmas-tree ornaments sold to leading department stores. Known throughout her life for her artistic talents and creativity, she collaborated with her husband to build two

been active in this program.” Also speaking for CCOG was the council’s aging program administrator, Gayla Woody. “I have been working in Rowan County now for more than 25 years,” Woody said. “We’ve seen a number of services and programs for older adults built during those 25 years.” More than half of the county’s membership dues, she said, allow the allocation of $755,000 in grant funds for programs like adult day care, inhome aide services, senior center operation and congregate meals. The council also helps provide funding for older adult job training, evidence-based health promotion, a family caregiver program and an ombudsman program for those in long-term care. Woody said that in 20 years, 75 percent of North Carolina’s counties will have more older adults than people under 17 years old. “It’s very important that we work together to look for ways to provide and accommodate for our older population, so that they can stay well and active and involved members of the community,” she said. Sharp told commissioners that if the county pulled out of CCOG, it would cost $16,000 to
apply for the grants the county normally receives. He said having a voice in regional issues through membership with the council can help bring additional benefits to Rowan County. “While aging is our most important and popular program,” he said, “it’s being at the table that makes a difference for Rowan to have a voice in the region.” At last Wednesday’s budget workshop, Commissioner Jon Barber was the first to request a cost-benefit analysis for memberships in CCOG and the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners. Others agreed and added the Charlotte Regional Partnership to that list. “I would like to see, for those annual membership dues, what are we getting for them?” Barber said. He and Chairman Carl Ford both brought up concerns about the administration fees necessary to continue applying for grant money. “We still have to go through CCOG, because that’s the way it’s set up with the state, to make sure that we get our grants and keep senior services flowing,” Ford said. Commissioner Chad Mitchell said the fees would be worth paying to save the difference in the cost of the dues.
golf-course resorts in New Zealand, which they designed from scratch, beginning in the 1990s. According to a press release, hers was the eye behind the impeccable style of the two award-winning lodges built near the golf courses. An avid golfer, she was the 2006 women’s champion at Sebonack Golf Club in Southampton, NY. She also was a wizard with flowers and loved arranging them when entertaining friends and family. Described as gracious, lighthearted and kind, she masked a formidable set of organizational skills which she put to work as a mother of three sons and as a volunteer in New York City. Josie Robertson joined the Women’s Board of The Boys’ Club of New York in 1978, served as its president, and in 2000 was elected to its board of trustees. In 2007, when she was the honoree at its annual spring dance, a group of friends raised money in her honor for the Boys’ Club’s Josie Robertson School of Music and Art. She also was on the Board of Overseers of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center since 2004 and was a director of Classroom Inc. from 1999-2008, before serving as an honorary director and
chairing the Classroom Inc. Council. In 1996, the Robertsons established the Robertson Foundation which supports education, medical research, religion and spirituality, and environmental causes. She and her husband were leading supporters also of the Central Park Conservancy, where she joined the board of the Women’s Committee in 1997. In 1998 they funded the restoration of the 59th Street Pond and its surrounding landscape. In addition to her husband and sons, she is survived by Spencer’s wife, Sarah, and their three children, Hollis, Hart and Wyndham; two sisters, Mary Cassell of Albuquerque and Julia Rasmussen of Houston; and two brothers, Robert Tucker of San Antonio and George Tucker of Midland. The funeral will be at 11 a.m. Friday at St. Bartholomew’s Church, 325 Park Ave., N.Y. Visitation will be from 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m. and 5-7 p.m. at Frank Campbell Funeral Home, 1076 Madison Ave. Thursday. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Boys Club of New York, Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital, and PAVE Academy Charter School.

N.C. Democrats complain about petition drive tactics Whalen said the party would e-mail Democrats advising them that they can call county election offices and ask that their signatures be removed. “We are trying to make sure that people are being honest with the registered voters of the 8th District,” Whalen said in an interview. North Carolina First is being funded by the Service Employees International Union and its local, the State Employees Association of North Carolina. It must turn in petitions to county election board offices in the 8th District by Thursday in order to so the signatures could be verified. The group needs nearly 17,000 verified signatures from registered voters so Wendell Fant, who used to work in Kissell’s office, can run if he chooses. North Carolina First Chairman Chuck Stone said in an
interview there’s “been no distortion in informing people of why we’re trying to create a third party and put another candidate on the ballot.” He called it typical of the two major parties to try to discredit those who would try to give voters more options. The group is unhappy with Kissell’s voting record, particularly his opposition to the Democatic-penned health care legislation approved by Congress and signed by President Obama. Kissell defeated GOP incumbent Robin Hayes in 2008. “Apparently Larry Kissell and the Democratic Party will do or say anything to keep voters from having another choice in the district,” North Carolina First spokesman Greg Rideout added. North Carolina First was unsuccessful in obtaining the more than 85,000 signatures it needed to become an offi-
cial new political party in North Carolina this year so it could field candidates in at least two other congressional races. The group decided instead to focus on collecting signatures to help Fant become a candidate in the 8th District against Kissell; a Republican challenger yet to be decided; and Libertarian Thomas Hill. Stone said he expected the group will turn in a number of signatures this week that would exceed the threshold for an independent candidate. Democrats were worried about a third party’s ability to cut into votes for incumbents, which could lead to Republicans winning seats. The union groups have “failed in their effort to create a new party and are now continuing to waste their member’s hard-earned dues in this foolhardy and shortsighted attempt to place a
candidate on the November ballot,” Whalen said in a news release. The barrage between the unions and the party is surprising because SEIU gave more than $1 million to the state Democratic Party for
the 2008 elections, and the State Employees Association’s political arm generally has supported Democratic candidates. The association did endorse Republican gubernatorial candidate Patrick Ballantine in 2004.

RALEIGH (AP) — A fight between the state Democratic Party and a union over a swing congressional district got tougher Tuesday as party officials accused a group trying to qualify an independent candidate of misleading voters into signing petitions before a key deadline. Party leaders contend voters in the 8th Congressional District that paid representatives of the group North Carolina First aren’t explaining when they go door-to-door that they’re trying to put another candidate on the ballot to challenge Democrat incumbent Larry Kissell. Instead, they’ve been saying the petition is for “better jobs,” according to Andrew Whalen, the party’s executive director, citing media reports and phone calls from Democrats in the district who have received knocks on their doors.

FREE FLOWING WATER CONTROL
Liquor law changes approved by House panel J.A. FISHER RALEIGH (AP) — Local ABC boards would have to meet financial and customer service standards in its liquor sales or they could face closure, and all its members would be subject to a gift ban and other ethics rules in legislation approved Tuesday by a state House panel. The bill that left the House’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Committee went beyond the recommendations of a special study commission completed last month before the session began. The state ABC Commission also would receive more power to monitor the activities of the local, largely independent boards that sell liquor in cities or counties. The study commission examined the ABC rules following news reports about the high salaries of local board administrators and meals paid for by liquor companies to local ABC leaders. Gov. Beverly Perdue had sought changes, too. “It puts the ABC Commission in a new role in providing more direct oversight and setting performance standards,” said state commission Chair-
man Jon Williams. a Perdue appointee. “All told, it looks like that we will emerge with a much stronger, more reliable ABC system and the public will have more assurance these public enterprises are run with the high ethical standards that the public deserves.” North Carolina is among 18 “control” states where government directly controls wholesale and retail liquor distribution, but it’s the only one where local ABC boards sell the spirits and essentially run their own operations. The measure went beyond the study commission’s recommendations to require the state’s nearly 170 local ABC boards to create their own ethics codes. It also would prohibit local board members from accepting gifts from contractors doing business with their panel or stores and to avoid conflicts of interest that could financially benefit themselves or family members. Each local board would be subject to performance standards set by the state ABC Commission, including store operating efficiency, solven-
cy and customer service and enforcement of the alcohol laws. Lawmakers avoided the word “profitability” although some poorly performing stores don’t make money. Other lawmakers and advocates of the current system argue the purpose of the nearly 75year-old ABC system and its more than 400 stores is to control liquor sales, not to make a profit. The state ABC Commission could close stores or force a local board to merge with one nearby if standards aren’t met, but the local board could have up to 20 months to fix the problems. An amendment offered by Rep. Pryor Gibson, D-Anson, raised that period of time from 12 months. “On balance, having more time is a very important part of the proposal,” said Jon Carr, lobbyist for the North Carolina Association of ABC Boards. “We’d ask for time to improve.” Rep. Edgar Starnes, RCaldwell, said 12 months was already enough time: “If you don’t meet your performance standards, there needs to be a consequence.” The measure, which now

Multiple media outlets reported that George Richard Fisher was arrested Tuesday in the 1984 death of Carrie Wilkerson. The girl was discovered strangled and sexually assaulted in a burning mobile home in Carrboro. Police have linked Fisher to the case using DNA evidence that was not available during the original investigation. Fisher is serving life in prison for the 1985 killing and attempted rape of 8-year-old Jean Fewel in Chapel Hill.

Local boards also would have to hold a public hearing before it can be adopted. The bill also would: — limit the compensation of local ABC general managers to the pay that local Clerks of Superior Court receive, up to $112,607 in the most populous counties. But pay can go higher if a county commission or town council approves it. — prohibit an employee from having direct supervision over a family member in a local ABC board.

WHERE THERE’S SMOKE, THERE’S FATHER Father’s Day is occasion to light the torch, pass it on BY GRETCHEN MCKAY Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
I don’t know about you, but I sort of freak out when something I’m grilling catches fire and dinner, quite literally, goes up in a plume of black smoke. But my husband? No barbecue flame is ever too big, too hot or too scary for him to manage. Call it a guy thing. Since the first prehistoric man discovered that woolly mammoth tasted a heck of a lot better roasted than bloody and raw, men have been cooking over fire and loving every sizzling, potentially dangerous minute of it. “It’s primal,” my husband, a grillmeister if there ever was one, tells me. “We see a fire and get the urge to throw something big and juicy on it.” And if that “something” accidentally ignites? That’s why they invented squirt bottles, 18-inch tongs and insulated oven mitts, dummy! In the kitchen, notes Bob Sloan, author of “Dad’s Awesome Grilling Book,” it always feels as though something could go wrong. The pace is a bit more frenetic, there’s more margin for error and the end product (even if it’s delicious) is naturally compared with Mom’s version. “No matter how hard I try, whatever I make is either ‘not as good as Mom’s’ or ‘just as good as Mom’s,’ “he writes. “Either way, I’m deep in her gastronomic shadow.” But the grill? That’s a man’s special domain, his oasis from the vicissitudes of being a dad, Sloan says. Other than the lid and the burner knobs, there’s not a whole lot of moving parts on a grill, he says, so men feel more in control — of the heat, of the food, of their culinary abilities. They appreciate the simplicity of grill cooking. “Ultimately, it’s Step A and then Step A again,” Sloan says in a phone interview. Men also get to be outside while grilling. With that in mind, it’s completely understandable why dads all across the country will be firing up the grill in celebration of Father’s Day on June 20. And why Mom will be hovering happily in the background. His day, his say, his way. “What’s the joke ... where there’s smoke, there’s father?” quips Sloan. Most likely, legions of sons also will be watching and learning, so when the time comes for the ceremonial passing of the tongs, they’ll be ready. Not that that’s a problem, as grilling has come a long way from its humble roots in the past few years. When Sloan was a kid, for instance, homemade sauces still were fairly unheard of, and the Asian section at the grocery store consisted of soy sauce, water chestnuts and baby corn. So the Chinese-style, sweet-andsour steaks his father cooked were — well, he can’t really say if they were good or not. “But it was fun and he was deft on the grill.” Today? More dads than ever are trying their hand at new techniques — plank grilling and smoking are increasingly popular — and they’re stretching beyond the traditional burgers, steaks and brats. That’s part of the reason Sloan, who worked as a caterer for many years in Manhattan, cooked up this sixth cookbook: to encourage them to further expand their repertoire with some easy yet incredibly tasty recipes, all written in a language that Dad can understand (with honesty, brevity and humor). Consider his recipe for barbecued leg of lamb, which marries the smoky heat of chipotle chilies with garlic, tomatillo and cinnamon. Many guys might say, “What’s ‘butterflied’ mean?” or better yet, “What’s a leg of lamb?” Yet show ‘em how that particular piece of meat is no different from a cut of beef, he says, and the mystery is gone. (In case you’re wondering, ‘butterflied’ means to cut open and spread flat.) “In a way, it’s like a giant hamburger. You’re cooking it the same way,” says Sloan. The following recipes were all tested by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
METRO CREATIVE CONNECTION
On Father’s Day, dads can usually be found behind the grill. More dads than ever are trying their hand at new grilling techniques.
Stir-grilled coconut shrimp
Honey-glazed spareribs
Stir-frying on the grill is easier than you might think. You just have to remember to drain the excess marinade before you place the wok on the grates.
These sticky-sweet ribs are precooked, so they only require a short time on the grill. Be sure to use tongs instead of a fork to turn them or you’ll release the precious juices from the meat.
2 green onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal 11⁄ 2 C. coconut milk 1 Tbsp. finely minced jalapeno pepper 1 Tbsp. finely minced serrano pepper Grated zest and juice of 1 lime 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 ⁄2 C. unsweetened shredded coconut 1 C. black or jasmine rice, cooked Special equipment: 12-inch metal grill wok or basket with perforations Prepare marinade by whisking together green onions, coconut milk, jalapeno, serrano, lime zest and lime juice. Rinse shrimp under cold running water and pat dry. Place shrimp in a large sealable plastic bag and pour in 3/4 of the marinade. Seal, toss to coat and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours, tossing occasionally. Cover and refrigerate the remaining marinade until ready to use. Meanwhile, prepare a medium-hot fire in your grill. Place grill wok over the kitchen sink and pour in shrimp mixture, draining the marinade. Sprinkle shrimp with coconut. Set wok on baking sheet and carry out to grill. Place wok on grill. Grill, tossing with long-handled wooden spatulas every 3 to 4 minutes, for 12 to 15 minutes, or until shrimp are pink and opaque. Toss rice with the reserved marinade and serve with the shrimp. Serves 8 as an appetizer or 2 to 3 as an entree. — “300 Big & Bold Barbecue & Grilling Recipes” by Karen Adler and Judith Fertig
1 1
⁄ 2 C. white wine ⁄ 2 C. soy sauce
1 bunch scallions, green parts only, finely chopped 3 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh ginger 8 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped 6 Tbsp. brown sugar 1 Tbsp. Chinese five-spice powder Pinch ground cayenne pepper 3 to 4 pounds spareribs (about 2 slabs) cut into individual ribs Honey glaze (see following recipe) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the wine, soy sauce, scallions, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, five-spice powder and cayenne. Place the ribs in the bowl with the wine mixture, tossing them gently so they are all coated evenly. Transfer the ribs and liquid to a baking pan, cover with foil and bake in the center of oven for 1 hour. Let ribs cool, then transfer them to a plastic container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. To finish ribs on the grill, prepare enough coals for a medium-hot charcoal fire, or preheat gas grill on medium-high for 10 minutes with the lid closed. When coals are ready or gas grill is hot, grill the ribs until heated through, about 15 minutes, turning and mopping them several times with the Honey Glaze so they are nicely coated. Serve immediately with a lot of napkins. Serves 4. — “Dad’s Awesome Grilling Book” by Bob Sloan

In a medium bowl, stir together all ingredients. Set aside until ready to use, or refrigerate, covered, for up to 1 week. Let the glaze come to room temperature before using. Makes about 2 cups. — “Dad’s Awesome Grilling Book” by Bob Sloan
Amber cayenne-citrus marinade Dad probably loves to drink it, so why not use beer in your cooking, too? This easy marinade can be used on beef or lamb. 2 12-ounce bottles amber ale 1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar 2 Tbsp. fresh orange juice 1 tsp.grated orange zest 1 ⁄2 C. canola oil 1 Tbsp. grated horseradish 1 ⁄2 C. minced onion 2 Tbsp. minced garlic 2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. cayenne pepper (or more, to taste) Mix all ingredients together in a blender, pureeing until onions and garlic are liquefied. Reserve 1 cup for basting, and use remainder as a marinade for beef or lamb (shoulder or leg cut). Marinate meat for at least 2 hours for best flavor. Makes about 2 cups of marinade. — Grillingwithbeer.com Gretchen McKay can be reached at gmckay@post-gazette.com.
Profile: Meet longtime Farmers Market vendor Duard Cress BY SUE DAVIS
For the Salisbury Post
Cress Farm has been part of the Salisbury-Rowan Farmers Market since its beginning. When I asked Duard what keeps bringing him back to the market each year, he said, “People.” At 89, Duard still keeps beef cattle, grows a variety of popular local vegetables and cut-to-order lumber. His favorite crop is tomatoes. If you want to see Duard’s face light up, mention birds, fishing or baseball. Birds, like the one nesting in one of his chocolate cherry tomato plants or the hummingbirds outside his back door, make him smile. He takes time every day to enjoy the birds. He loves to saltwater fish, but does not find time to fish often. And mention South Rowan American Legion baseball, which has supported since it began, and he’ll tell you about the most recent games and the team’s standings. Duard always has a good story to tell. His
daughter, Mary, looks after customers while the story gets told.
Local corn available Local corn, green beans, hot peppers and okra are available this week. Last Saturday morning Miller Farms brought two small loads of corn; it didn’t last very long. This week corn should be available from several vendors. Cress Farms may have a few baskets of blueberries. Correll Farm has fresh local garlic. Try it in your favorite tomato sauce or as an addition to any of the varieties of summer squash available throughout the market. Wild Turkey Farms has fresh pepperoni made from their pasture-fed meats. Their sausage offerings are very tasty. If pepperoni sounds interesting, ask for a sample. The Bread Basket has a very rich and moist Oatmeal Apple Bread with a nice natural sweetness. Emma Ruth developed the recipe for us to enjoy.
She is now making fresh hamburger rolls. The idea of a freshly baked roll, holding a hamburger made with locally grown beef and a slice of local tomato is too good to pass up. T&D Beef has added chicken to their offerings. The pasture raised chickens have a lot of flavor. You can buy a whole uncut chicken or leg and breast quarters. Stop by the Farmers Market booth and learn how to make a credit card or debit card purchases at the market. Farmers Market manager Harry Agner will also be able to help you with using Food Stamps, WIC and Senior Vouchers. For more information about the Farmers Market visit www.salisburyfarmersmarket.c om.

Ask Amy: You need a degree to handle all these situations
Quick tricks add up to kitchen savings If you ever have loaded up on groceries one day only to wonder where all the food went the next, you might be ripe to learn easy ways to make food go further. Today’s collection of great reader tips will do just that, while they make you smile. MARY • Precious HUNT peaches. We bought a case of peaches. After assembling six pies, we still had plenty left over, so I blanched them to remove the skins. Then I dipped them in limeade to keep them from turning brown. I froze them for later use. The combination of the lime and peach flavors is really tasty. — Zoe, e-mail
• Secret sauce. My wife can’t tolerate artificial sweeteners, but sugar dissolves slowly in iced drinks. Instead, I make her a batch of simple syrup that she can add to her
tea as needed. I heat 1 cup each of water and sugar in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves. When the solution has cooled, I put it in a squeeze bottle. — James S., e-mail
• Selective scooping. Instead of purchasing a mango cutter, I found that using my grapefruit knife works perfectly. The gentle curve of the blade hugs the seed without slicing into it, maximizing the amount of mango that actually remains on the skin. We also use the grapefruit spoon to scoop out every delicious bite! — Joni,
silks are easier to remove after they’ve been microwaved. — Wendy, e-mail
• Ground gratification. I pride myself on being a savvy shopper, and I found the best deal yet. This week, my local supermarket had boneless chuck on sale for $1.59 a pound. At the meat counter, I asked the butcher to grind two packages for me. My quality ground beef ended up costing $2 less per pound than the regular price of ground beef. Most butchers gladly will grind meat for you when it is on sale. — Dick, New Hampshire
Texas
• Corn creativity. I have a tip that saves time, electricity and heat in summertime cooking. Instead of boiling fresh corn, I stick the entire husk in the microwave to cook it. I cook four ears for four minutes. Then I flip them and cook for another four minutes. They cook in their own steam and come out perfectly. Plus, the husks and
• Simple seasoning. I make my own all-purpose seasoning with this combination of spices: 1 part salt, 1 part pepper, 1 part garlic powder. I’ve found this mixture works well with almost any food. — Margie, California
• Veggie delight. I love grilled zucchini and yellow summer squash. I wash
them and slice them without peeling them. Then I put them in a bowl with just enough olive oil to coat. I add a dash of salt and pepper and some shakes of Italian seasoning and stir. After a few minutes on the grill, they are ready to eat. I use a grill pan that has openings of squares or circles rather than horizontal slits so they don’t fall through. — Naomi L., e-mail

Largest festival of disabled artists opens in D.C. WASHINGTON (AP) — Jesse Higman’s paintbrush isn’t a brush at all. With limited mobility in his hands because of a car crash 27 years ago, this Seattle-based artist created a method all his own. To control his colors, Higman built intricate tables with weights that bend his wooden canvas. Then he carefully pours pigment and water on the surface and watches them swirl to a small hole. The paint is like light being sucked into a black hole in space, he said. Left behind is a design he calls “Bone Orchid.” “I think of it like I’m playing with nature on this tabletop,” said Higman, 42, who has been in a wheelchair since age 15. His table and the painting went on display Tuesday at the Smithsonian Institution as part of the world’s largest festival of artists with disabilities. While Higman had wanted to focus more on fine art after working for years in the music industry, the idea of joining the 2010 International VSA Festival in Washington gave him pause: Would he gain a permanent label as a disabled artist? How would he be perceived? But he decided to go with it.
“It’s a legitimate art show, which I was a little bit skeptical of at first,” Higman said. “I wondered if it was going to be to champion people with disabilities, to give them a pat on the back.” Instead, he found dozens of pieces of vibrant, interesting art. The festival, hosted by the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts at sites across the nation’s capital, runs through June 12 and features many free daily performances, films and visual arts. A juried exhibit, “Revealing Culture,” that includes Higman’s work among 130 pieces at the Smithsonian will remain on view through Aug. 29. Renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly contributed a large-scale installation. Performances will feature singer Patti LaBelle, as well as Josh Blue, who won season four of “Last Comic Standing.” Organizers brought in more than 600 artists, performers and educators from around the world, including students from every state who competed to have their work shown at Washington’s Union Station. Taylor Bernard, 8, of Richmond, Va., who has cerebral palsy, was among
the winners selected from 5,500 entries for her watercolor painting, inspired by the sunset at her grandmother’s Virginia Beach home. She was with big company Tuesday as Jean Kennedy Smith, the last living sibling of President John F. Kennedy, met the students as their artwork went on view. “We’re big believers that the arts are for everybody,” said Smith, who founded VSA (formerly Very Special Arts) in 1974. The festival was timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the Americans With Disabilities Act. The exhibits are designed to be more accessible to disabled audiences than ever before. They include touchable examples of artworks, audio descriptions and labels written with Braille, curator Stephanie Moore said. One installation, “Sight Unseen,” is the first major exhibit of the most-accomplished photographers with visual impairments. One section includes images with raised ink to allow blind visitors to feel the shape and dimension of the photograph. Another exhibit features the work of Judith Scott, who was kept in an institution for 35 years with Down syn-
drome but began creating sculptures from yarn, paper towels and other simple materials almost constantly for 18 years once she was released to her sister’s custody. “What I really want people to see is that, indeed, artists with disabilities play a major role in the arts community,” said Kennedy Center President Michael Kaiser. “It is crucial that we not disenfranchise that segment of our population.”
Dear Amy: I received an announcement for a friend’s daughter’s graduation from college. There is a statement at the bottom that, unfortunately, there wouldn’t be tickets available. Included with the invite was a self-addressed, stamped envelope. I had no intention sending this young person a gift and felt that this was a blatant solicitation. What do you think? — Wondering Dear Wondering: If this graduation event is already oversubscribed and there is
no RSVP required, I can’t figure out what the self-addressed, stamped envelope is for, unless it is the blatant gift solicitation you suggest. Because that concept is too awful to contemplate, you should assume it is the result of an envelope-stuffing error. All the same, it’s a shame to waste a stamp these days. Perhaps you could write a note to the graduate, congratulating her on her achievement, pop it in the supplied envelope and set it free.

Dear Confused: Your sister kicked you out of her life. But that doesn’t mean you have to kick her out of yours. You can’t control her choices or behavior. You can only make your own choices, based on what you want. Because you love her children and want to try to stay in their lives, you should invite them to this event. Because your sister is their mother and most likely controls their transportation and social calendar, you should include her too. If she attends this event to try to stay close to your son, then good for her. This might be the beginning of a
reconciliation. Don’t worry about drama. It takes at least two people to pitch a good drama. If you decide ahead of time to be cordial, kind and focused on the celebration, your sister’s attempts at theatrics won’t find an audience.

Dear Amy: I come from a

This summer I’m having a graduation party for my son and don’t know what to do about inviting my niece and nephew. Do I send an invitation with just their names on it? Or should I invite my sister as well, since she still seems to want to have a relationship with my children? My son is fine with however I want to handle it, but I really can’t decide what to do. This party will be held at another sister’s house (whom Janet also kicked out of her life) and she is fine with whatever I do. I don’t want drama on my

Dear Confused: Don’t look for a specific protocol to cover every situation. Depending on the occasion
and your relationship to the person celebrating the occasion, you and your husband will want to give a gift and sign the card “From Aunt Bitsy and Uncle Bob and all your ‘Smith’ cousins.” Sometimes you’ll include your offspring, and sometimes you won’t. Your children can then separately choose to congratulate the person in their own way. I’d think that a 27-yearold would get a little embarrassed by having mom and dad handle all of life’s occasions on her behalf. You don’t describe your daughter’s situation, but if she’s able she should give her cousin a small gift. This doesn’t have to be monetary; a card and a favorite book, a CD or a copy of the classic movie “The Graduate” would be appropriate.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Gary Coleman’s will names a friend and former manager as executor of the late child star’s estate and specifies that he wanted to be cremated. The will was filed Tuesday in 4th District Court in Provo, where the 42-year-old Coleman died May 28 after suffering a brain hemorrhage. Coleman appointed friend Dion Mial as his executor. Coleman says in the 1999 will that he wanted to be remembered in a wake conducted by people who had no financial ties to the star of the sitcom “Diff’rent Strokes.” The will was written years
before Coleman met Shannon Price on a movie set in 2006. The couple married in 2007 and divorced in 2008. A representative says Price believes she has a claim to the estate and planned to meet with her lawyer Tuesday. Although the couple was divorced, they still lived together in Santaquin, about 55 miles south of Salt Lake City. It was Price — who was named in an advanced health care directive — who ordered that Coleman be taken off of life support. Price referred to Coleman as her husband when she called 911, saying Coleman
had fallen and was bleeding severely from the back of his head. Coleman was still conscious when he was taken to a hospital in Provo, but slipped into unconsciousness the next day and was placed on life support for a day. Coleman starred for eight seasons on the sitcom “Diff’rent Strokes,” starting in 1978. The tiny 10-year-old’s “Whachu talkin’ ’bout?” became a catch phrase in the show about two AfricanAmerican brothers adopted by a wealthy white man. He played Arnold Jackson, the younger of the two brothers.

Officials: Fishermen caught mustard gas off N.Y. BOSTON (AP) — State and federal officials worked Tuesday to decontaminate a clam boat anchored in isolation off Massachusetts after it dredged up old munitions containing mustard gas, severely sickening a crewman. The Coast Guard was trying to locate the two military shells, which the crew tossed overboard in about 60 feet of water about 45 miles south of Long Island, said Coast Guard Petty Officer James Rhodes. He acknowledged finding the shells will be difficult. The military used the ocean as a dumping ground for munitions from after World War II through 1970. While the tons of old chemical weapons in offshore waters present a danger to fishermen, experts don’t believe they are a possible source of weapons for terrorists. The Atlantic City, N.J.based vessel was fishing Sunday in a charted munitions dumping zone, but the designation is just a warning and carries no fishing restrictions, Rhodes said. The two shells — about a foot long and three inches in diameter — came aboard in a haul of clams. The Coast Guard believes one of the shells cracked or otherwise leaked its contents. On Tuesday, a National Guard team boarded the vessel, the ESS Pursuit, to test for contamination, while the Coast Guard worked to secure the ship in waters off New Bedford so that it can be moored and decontaminated. The captain and first mate have declined to leave the

The U.S. Coast Guard says a Massachusetts-based fishing boat dredging for clams off New York pulled up 10 canisters, including one that broke open and caused two crew members to experience blistering and difficulty breathing. 145-foot dragger, fearing it could run aground, the Coast Guard said. The boat had returned to New Bedford early Monday after one of its six crewmen, Konstantin Burndshov, reported blistering and shortness of breath. Hours later, another crewman was brought ashore after he reported feeling lightheaded. He was examined and released. Two other crewmen left the boat late Monday, with one reporting nose and eye irritation. Burndshov had painful
blisters about three-quarters of an inch high on an arm and a leg, said Dr. Edward Boyer, a toxicologist who is treating the man at UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester. Boyer suspected exposure to mustard gas, used most frequently during World War I, given Burndshov’s telltale symptoms: blistering and the onset of his symptoms about 24 hours after exposure. On Monday night, blood and urine tests confirmed the diagnosis. Boyer said even though Burndshov was wearing protective clothing, in-
cluding oil skins and elbowlength gloves, the mustard gas still penetrated to his skin. “It literally pulls the top of the skin off the layer underneath it,” Boyer said. The doctor said Burndshov was “handling it very well,” and Burndshov was listed in good condition at UMass Memorial. The Defense Department began using the ocean as a dumping ground for chemical and conventional munitions after World War II. The military says it stopped in
1970, and two years later Congress banned waste disposal in oceans, including chemical weapons. Officials say it’s impossible to know exactly how much and what type of weapons have been dumped in the ocean because of incomplete records. A 2001 Army report found 74 past instances of ocean disposal — 32 off U.S. shores and 42 off foreign coasts. For example, in 1967 the Army dumped 4,577 one-ton containers of a mustard agent and 7,380 sarin rockets off the New Jersey shore, according to Army records. Only some of the ocean dumps were mapped, and chemical munitions have been found in areas they weren’t supposed to have been dumped, such as just a few miles off Hawaii, said Craig Williams of the Chemical Weapons Working Group, a Kentucky-based organization. In 1976, a fisherman in Hawaii was burned after bringing up a mortar round filled with mustard gas. A mustard gas-filled artillery shell was found in Delaware in 2004 after it was dredged up by a clam boat off New Jersey and remained intact after being sent through a crusher that was making clamshell driveway fill. Three bomb disposal experts were injured dismantling it. Mustard gas, also called sulphur mustard, is usually not a gas at all, but a thick, odorless and colorless liquid that turns solid in temperatures over 58 degrees. It
looks brown when mixed with other chemicals and has a garlic-like smell. Mustard gas can be deadly if it’s used as an aerosol and inhaled, causing blisters and other problems in the lungs. More frequently, it’s used to weaken the enemy by forcing them to devote men and resources to get incapacitated victims off the battlefield and into care, said Dr. Steve Bird, an associate professor at the University of Massachusetts Medical School and a chemical weapons expert. The gas was used most frequently during World War I, but has been used sporadically since, including during the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s, he said. The chemical retains its potency over time, though some of its components break down, he said. “The stuff still works just the same, and is still as toxic as it was before,” Bird said. The tons of chemical weapons underwater are an extremely unlikely source of weapons for terrorists, Williams said, given the difficulty in locating them, uncertainty about the hazards they present in an inevitably deteriorated condition and the fact that other dangerous chemicals are more readily available. “That’s pretty farfetched,” he said. “If I’m a terrorist and I want to use chemical weapons, I can go to 16 hardware stores and get the stuff I need to make it, rather than be trolling around in the middle of the ocean.”

CHICAGO (AP) — Charitable giving fell by 3.6 percent last year as Americans continued to struggle with the recession, though some philanthropic experts feared the decrease could have been much worse given the economic downturn, according to an authoritative annual survey released Wednesday. Americans donated $303.75 billion during 2009, the second-worst year since 1956, when the Giving USA Foundation started conducting its surveys. The worst year was 1974, when giving fell an inflation-adjusted 5.5 percent. However, 2009 also was the third-straight year giving reached more than $300 billion. “We actually were anticipating a larger drop,” foundation chairwoman, Edith Falk, said, ticking off the challenges that 2009 presented for donors to make charitable donations, including high unemployment and home foreclosure rates. “Given all those factors we really were expecting people were not going to be in the position to give,” Falk said. The survey found that giving to human services, health, international affairs and environment and animal-related groups all saw increases in 2009, while donations to education, arts, culture and humanities organizations fell overall. “On the margin people were increasing their giving to help those who were less fortunate,” said Patrick Rooney, executive director of the Center of Philanthropy at Indiana University in Indianapolis. The report is based on research by from the center. The Chicago-based hunger-relief charity Feeding America raised $75 million during fiscal year 2009, exceeding its donations from the previous fiscal year by more than $15 million, the group said. Feeding America has more than 200 food banks across the country. But the survey found education organizations, like Mercy Learning Center in Bridgeport, Conn., which provides literacy programs for disadvantaged women, saw decreased giving in 2009. The

PANEL PROPOSES CHANGES
Beefing up ABC controls Obama’s education promise T
he state’s loose-knit system of Alcohol Beverage Control boards is a step closer to coming under new, needed controls — both to pull some wayward local systems in line and to protect the integrity of the state’s system as a whole. The House’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Committee on Tuesday gave the nod to legislation that would require local liquor boards to meet performance standards in operating their stores. The bill would also make ABC board members subject to a gift ban. If it doesn’t already, the legislation should apply the same standards to ABC system managers and their employees. A year ago, the Post reported that the manager of the Rowan-Kannapolis ABC system spent some $24,000 at restaurants and hotels from Washington, D.C., to Orlando, Fla., over a two-year period. Manager Terry Osborne had letters and receipts to back up his contention that he was on official business, advocating for stronger laws and investigating education programs. But the spending did not sit well with county officials. The local ABC Board tightened travel and spending policies and revised its own funding habits when it came to passing profits on to local government. But a few months later, the Rowan-Kannapolis issues looked like small potatoes after some other ABC boards’ practices came to light. For example, a father-son team was running the system in New Hanover County — both with six-figure salaries. And the Mecklenburg ABC board was wined and dined at a $12,700 dinner hosted by liquor distributor Diageo Americas. Obviously change is in order. Calls for privatizing the system have been rejected, as they should be. Now the challenge is to implement controls that bring about consistency and ethics without creating unnecessary burdens for local boards. If the bill can strike that balance, it could remove the cloud of doubt last year’s controversies put on the ABC system as a whole.
Team effort in Landis Here’s a tip of the ball cap to a group of
Landis residents who decided that rather than fight City Hall, they’d partner with it. Faced with cuts in the town’s Recreation Department that would have doomed some popular sports activities for children, the group of parents and others pooled their ideas and came up with a solution. The group, the South Rowan Sports League, will provide equipment and secure sponsors, as well as draw up the schedules. It will save money for the town, while saving summer fun for the kids. Citizens can’t take up the slack for bigticket budget cuts, but here’s an instance where they stepped up to the plate to preserve worthwhile recreational activities.

W
ASHINGTON -- While the nation remains preoccupied by the drama of the oil leak in the Gulf, which consumes an inordinate portion of time and attention in the media, a struggle of potentially greater consequence for most American families is taking place with far less publicity. I am referring to the scenarios being enacted in legislatures DAVID across the land BRODER as the final strokes are being placed on state budgets, and the fate of literally thousands of teachers and pupils is being decided. As noted here more than once, the arguments over taxes and borrowing that have become louder and more pointed in Washington are nothing compared with the fiscal mayhem in capitals from Sacramento to Boston. State economies have barely begun to recover from the wreckage of the Great Recession. And since taxes are mostly collected retroactively, after individual incomes are earned and spent, it will be well into 2011 or more likely 2012 before state and local budgets can be restored to their pre-recession levels — when more people are working. Meanwhile, state after state is wrestling with the dilemma posed by their schools, the largest single item in most of their budgets. They were given a year’s grace when President Obama dedicated a large slice of the 2009 fiscal rescue package of $787 billion to staving off the cuts that otherwise would have taken place in school budgets for this year.
Of all the dilemmas Obama faces, this may be the cruelest. The arguments on each side — for averting teacher layoffs and for avoiding even more ruinous debt — are entirely convincing That saved an estimated 300,000 or more teaching slots. But there is currently no second-year funding coming from Washington for another rescue mission. Liberal Democrats, led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, are trying to assemble such a package, but they have encountered resistance not only from Republicans but from moderate and conservative Democrats, well aware that the voters are becoming more and more worried about the deficits and debts this nation is incurring. Of all the dilemmas Obama faces, this may be the cruelest. The arguments on each side — for averting teacher layoffs and for avoiding even more ruinous debt — are entirely convincing. But they collide. In an ideal world, the president and his party would respond by passing a budget resolution providing an immediate rescue package for the states and committing to longer-range economies and revenue adjustments that would assure bond markets and financial circles that, with recovery, deficits will soon start to shrink. But as they talked among themselves before the Memorial Day recess, the Democ-
rats could not muster the will, or the courage, even to attempt to pass a budget resolution. Instead, they prefer to leave the hard trade-offs to the commission on deficit reduction that Obama has appointed, which will not report its recommendations until after Election Day. The irony of ironies is that while these thousands of teachers are left twisting in the wind, the states, in a rare act of courage, have committed to each other to stiffen their requirements in English and math — the most heartening step in education reform in many years. This bipartisan movement, encouraged by the administration but not led or forced by it, has won voluntary backing from the vast majority of states. That is a powerful statement from grassroots America about the willingness to improve the education of our children so they can measure up to international competition. But we cannot commit to raising standards in one breath, and turn around and issue layoff notices to thousands of teachers in the next. That would be as unconscionable as vowing to rid Afghanistan of the Taliban, while simultaneously pulling out the increment of NATO troops. As the days before the midterm reckoning dwindle, the inevitable paring of the Obama agenda will proceed at a faster pace. He will not be able to satisfy all the demands cascading on him. But when he looks at his young daughters, it should be clear to him that saving the schools is one promise he must keep. • • • David Broder’s e-mail address is davidbroder@washpost.com.
RCCC facility needs are real & urgent BY CARL M. SHORT JR. For the Salisbury Post
A
s a member of the Rowan-Cabarrus Community Board of Trustees, I appreciate and encourage public discussion about the college. However, I want to make sure members of our community understand how RCCC is publicly funded and its current facility needs. In North Carolina, community colleges receive two types of public funding — state and local county. The state, through its annual budget, allocates money to the state community college system to support academic programs, operations related to instruction, and faculty and staff salaries. These are the only expenses state funds can be used for at the 58 community colleges. Specifically, state funds cannot be used for building or campus maintenances. The state determines how much each community college receives based upon a formula that is primarily driven by the number of full-time equivalent students. The state, through its funding control, exercises a great deal of authority over each college in everything from programs offered to administrative salaries. By N.C. State statute, it’s
Currently, RCCC ranks dead last among nine community colleges in this region of the state in terms of county funding per full-time student. the responsibility of the county commission to fund the facilities needs of community colleges — new building construction, facilities maintenance and physical plant staff. As mentioned before, community colleges cannot use state funds for facilities; such funds must come from the local county. In the case of RCCC, Cabarrus County pays for the buildings and maintenance in Cabarrus County, Rowan County does the same for our facilities in Rowan County. Currently, RCCC ranks dead last among nine community colleges in this region of the state in terms of county funding per full-time student. RCCC currently receives $619 per full-time student from Rowan County. That’s about 27-percent less than the state average of $845. RCCC’s North Campus has
several immediate needs. Eight of the nine buildings on our North Campus are at least 30 years old; one building is approaching the 50-year mark. These aging buildings need extensive renovation and repair — everything from leaky roofs and crumbling sidewalks and staircases, to sorely out-of-date science labs and overcrowded technical program spaces. Additionally, in a few weeks, the college will dedicate its first new North Campus building in 30 years. Though the county partly funded its construction, there is inadequate money in the proposed 2010-11 Rowan County budget to support the upkeep of this new LEED classroom building. RCCC’s North Campus facility needs are real, and they are immediate. It’s the statemandated responsibility of Rowan County to meet the construction and maintenance needs of the North Campus. That’s why RCCC is working hard to communicate the severity of these needs. The college needs the county’s support, and it’s our responsibility to make sure the county is aware. • • • Carl M.

1. Why won’t all the students at Knox stand for our pledge? Do they not care about the hundreds of thousands of Americans who died and are still dying for their freedom? 2. Congress is starting to craft a final financial overhaul bill this week. The Senate wants to include “Requires mortgage lenders to consider whether the borrowers can repay.” Huh? Is this for real? You mean banks didn’t require folks to repay? 3. Why are atheists offended by the words “In God We Trust” and “Christmas?” Does seeing the words turn them into werewolves or something? 4. Other than the ACLU, who could possibly be offended by a prayer said before a football game for the safety of the players? Can’t the offended just plug their ears? 5. The U.S. ambassador to Israel says the president is dedicated to Israel’s security. Why not Arizona’s? Why not the entire USA? 6. Our country is falling apart, so why is Congress taking time to deal with gays and lesbians in the military? 7. Why isn’t our government sending an invoice to Mexico to pay for all the free services given to their citizens who come here illegally? 8. Ever try to find Christmas cards that say Merry Christmas? Not so easy. 9. Why do the poor keep on voting for the same political party? Doesn’t do any good; after many years of voting they're still poor. Rather than vote, they should just get an education, dress nice, speak well, get a job and give their employer 110 percent. This works 99.99 percent of the time to get out of poverty, not taking government entitlements. — Donald Schumacher Salisbury
Age discrimination I recently read about the 61-year-old man who cannot find a job because of his age. There is too much discrimination going on in the world — race discrimination and age discrimination. No one should be denied a job because of their age or the color of their skin. If a person is in good health and physically able to work, he or she should not be turned down for the reasons I mention. I would like to say to the 61-year-old man that he should keep praying and believing. God said in his word that you should pray, believing that you will receive. He knows what we need before we pray. I’m praying and believing that you will find a job real soon. God also said he would supply all our needs according to his riches in glory and he will not leave us begging for bread. — Joanne McKinney Spencer

Arkansas Senator fights opposition as outsiders test their strength WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrat Blanche Lincoln battled to survive union opposition and an anti-establishment tide that’s already drowned two fellow senators, and political outsiders from coast to coast tested their strength Tuesday on the busiest day of an unpredictable primary season. With polls showing a sullen electorate, there was no shortage of subplots as voters in nearly a dozen states chose candidates for Congress and governors’ offices. Californians decided whether to lead the fall GOP ticket with a pair of wealthy businesswomen campaigning on a promise to cut spending, and tea party activists tested their muscle in Nevada, backing Sharron Angle in a multi-candidate race to select a Republican opponent against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in a state where unemployment was 13.7 percent in April. Nevada’s Republican governor, Jim Gibbons, faced strong opposition for renomination after a term marked by a messy public divorce. At the same time, a pair of former governors — Republican Terry Branstad in Iowa and Democrat Edmund G. Brown Jr. in California — hoped to take the first steps toward reclaiming the power they once held. In the House, one Republican incumbent and one Democrat faced what amounted to ideological purity challenges.
BP oil spill scatters uncertainty across the Gulf NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The cap over a broken BP wellhead at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico is collecting more gushing crude day by day, but that’s about the extent of the details known as authorities try to pinpoint how much oil is escaping, where it’s going and what harm it will cause. The recently installed containment cap on the stricken BP wellhead is helping to limit the leak, collecting more than 620,000 gallons of oil Monday, Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said Tuesday in Washington. Still, underwater video feeds continue to show a dark geyser. “I have never said this is going well,” said Allen, who’s monitoring the response effort for the government. “We’re throwing everything at it that we’ve got. I’ve said time and time again that nothing good happens when oil is on the water.” Authorities had earlier reported that the cap collected around 460,000 gallons Sunday and that it was capturing anywhere from a third to three-quarters of the oil spewing out after a damaged riser pipe was cut as part of the containment effort, increasing the flow as a side effect. University of Texas engineering professor Paul Bommer, a member of the Coast Guard team that’s trying to determine how much oil is still leaking, told The Associated Press it’s possible that estimates the team will generate could be a bit higher than current government estimates.
Obama assures seniors that Medicare benefit is protected WHEATON, Md. (AP) — President Barack Obama on Tuesday sought to sell the health overhaul law to skeptical seniors, launching a defense of his presidency’s biggest accomplishment as the election season gets under way and the Gulf oil spill dominates news. The questions Obama got from a crowd at a senior center in suburban Maryland, and from others listening on the phone, suggested that plenty of doubts remain even now that the rancorous health care debate has faded from the headlines. There’s only so much Obama can do to ease concerns. But with crucial midterm elections looming, the administration is deter-
mined to put the law’s benefits front and center as they come online, in hopes of winning over public opinion for the new system and generating confidence in leadership by Obama and his Democratic allies controlling Congress. Tuesday’s event was timed to coincide with the release later this week of the first batch of $250 checks to seniors who fall into Medicare’s prescription drug coverage gap, known as the “doughnut hole.” Some 4 million elderly and disabled people will get checks this year, a down payment on the law’s approach to closing the doughnut hole entirely over the next decade. The first question came from a woman in the audience: Why can’t he close the doughnut hole faster?
Police say Joran Van der Sloot confesses to killing Lima woman LIMA, Peru (AP) — Dutchman Joran van der Sloot, long the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of a U.S. teen in Aruba, has confessed to killing a young Peruvian woman in his Lima hotel room, a police spokesman said. Peru’s chief police spokesman, Col. Abel Gamarra, told The Associated Press that Van der Sloot admitted under questioning Monday that he killed 21year-old Stephany Flores on May 30. Several Peruvian media reported that Van der Sloot killed Flores in a rage after learning she had looked up information about his past on his laptop without his permission. They did not name their sources for the information. The newspaper La Republica said that he tearfully confessed, in the presence of a prosecutor and a stateappointed attorney, to grabbing Flores by the neck and hitting her because she had viewed photos and videos about the Aruba case on his computer while he was out buying coffee. Gamarra would not provide details of the confession. Nor would the chief of Peru’s criminal police, Gen. Cesar Guardia, when the AP reached him by telephone. Guardia said only police director Gen. Miguel Hidalgo could authorize the information to be divulged. Hidalgo’s cell phone rang unanswered.
Sex abuse crisis gives new momentum to Catholic dissidents ROME (AP) — The clerical sex abuse crisis is energizing Roman Catholic dissidents who want to open up the priesthood to women and ditch celibacy requirements. They marched on Rome Tuesday even as Pope Benedict XVI called on priests to converge on the Vatican to cap a yearlong celebration of the priesthood. And in a sign of the deepening crisis, the faithful in traditionally Catholic Austria are at the forefront of demands for change. In Rome, church reformers demanded changes in the male-dominated church structure they say is responsible for covering up priestly sex abuse for decades, pressing their case on the eve of a three-day rally of the world’s priests summoned by Benedict. What was meant to be a year of celebration has turned into one marred by revelations of hundreds of new cases of clerical abuse and Vatican inaction to root out pedophile priests. Representatives from a half-dozen pro-women’s ordination groups denounced Benedict’s rally, saying the Vatican shouldn’t be honoring priests amid a clerical sex abuse scandal.
Texas Panhandle pipeline blast injures at least 3 DARROUZETT, Texas (AP) — A sheriff’s official says three people are injured and others are miss-
ing after a natural gas pipeline exploded in a remote part of the Texas Panhandle. Vickie Nelson of the Lipscomb County Sheriff’s Office the blast about 4 p.m. Tuesday was near the small town of Darrouzett, a few miles from the Oklahoma border. Nelson says at least one person has been taken to a burn unit, but she didn’t immediately have other details on the injured or missing. The blast about 270 miles northeast of Lubbock is the second natural gas line explosion in Texas in as many days. A line exploded in Cleburne, south of Dallas, on Monday as utility workers were digging in the area. One worker was killed in that blast
At inmate’s request, Utah prepares firing squad SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Barring a last-minute reprieve, Ronnie Lee Gardner will be strapped into a chair, a hood will be placed over his head and a small white target will be pinned over his heart. The order will come: “Ready, aim...” The 49-year-old convicted killer will be executed by a team of five anonymous marksmen firing with a matched set of .30-caliber rifles. He is to be the third person executed by firing squad in Utah — or anywhere else in the U.S. — since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976. Utah was a long holdout in keeping the method, which it has used in 40 of its 49 executions in the last 160 years. Utah lawmakers made lethal injection the default method of execution in 2004, but inmates condemned before then can still choose the firing squad. That’s what Gardner did in April, politely telling a judge, “I would like the firing squad, please.” Neither he nor his attorneys have said why.
Mass. teacher finds 1792 document PEABODY, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts teacher cleaning up her classroom in preparation for a move has discovered a Colonial-era document buried in a pile of outdated textbooks and dusty scraps of papers. Michelle Eugenio, a fourth-grade teacher in Peabody, Mass., found the yellowed sheet of paper two weeks ago. Dated April 1792 and protected by plastic, it appears to document the payment of a debt by a Vermont man named Jonathan Bates. Peabody Historical Society President Bill Power verified the paper’s authenticity. He tells The Salem News he was thrilled with the discovery. No one knows how the paper ended up at Peabody’s Center School or how long it has been there. Bates served in the Continental Army in 1780 and died in 1808 at age 63. He’s buried in Williamstown, Vt.
NASA plans Arctic mission at sea ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — NASA is launching a mission from Alaska next month, but it won’t be into space. The agency will take to the sea June 15 from Dutch Harbor in the Aleutians on its first dedicated oceanographic field campaign. The voyage is billed as an up close look at how conditions in the Arctic are affecting ocean chemistry and ecosystems that play a critical role in global climate change. More than 40 scientists will spend five weeks on board the Coast Guard Cutter Healy, the country’s most technologically advanced polar icebreaker. The Seattle-based Healy provides more than 4,200 square feet of scientific laboratory space.

In this courtroom sketch, Sam Adam Jr., left, attorney for former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, delivers his opening argument to the jury during Blagojevich’s federal corruption trial Tuesday in Chicago.
Attorney: Blagojevich ‘didn’t take a dime’ CHICAGO (AP) — Rod Blagojevich is an honest man who “didn’t take a dime” but had the bad judgment to trust the wrong people, the former Illinois governor’s fiery attorney said Tuesday at his corruption trial. Blagojevich will also take the stand on his own behalf, not just let a lawyer speak for him, defense attorney Sam Adam Jr. said in his opening statements. “The guy ain’t corrupt,” Adam whispered, after slamming his hand down. He said the ousted governor’s wife, Patti Blagojevich, will take the stand as well. Adam, who punctuated his opening remarks by waving his arm and pointing his fingers with his arm extended, said Blagojevich was fooled by those close to him. Now-convicted influence peddler Antoin “Tony” Rezko helped raise money for lots of political candidates, including Blagojevich, Adam said. But he told jurors that “not a single penny” of ill-gotten money went into Blagojevich’s campaign fund or his own pockets. “You have to be comatose not to figure out how to get a dollar out of $52 billion,” Adam said, referring to the state budget. “But who didn’t? Him!” he said indicating his client. Adam says Blagojevich thought Rezko knew campaign laws because he was so good at raising money. Rezko has since been convicted of skimming campaign contributions and seeking personal kickbacks from companies. Blagojevich has pleaded
not guilty to trying to sell or trade President Barack Obama’s former Senate seat. He also denies that he plotted to turn his power as governor into a moneymaking scheme for himself and insiders. If convicted, he could face a sentence of up to 415 years in prison and fines totaling $6 million. A federal prosecutor told jurors earlier that Blagojevich sought to use his power as governor to get benefits for himself and his inner circle through “a series of illegal shakedowns.” And when Obama was elected — meaning the governor could appoint his successor to the Senate — Blagojevich’s “golden ticket arrived,” prosecutor Carrie E. Hamilton said. In her opening statement, Hamilton methodically laid out what she called a pattern of lying, scheming and extortion that consumed the former governor’s time in office, and intensified as his personal financial troubles deepened. “When he was supposed to be asking, ’What about the people of Illinois,’ he was asking, ’What about me?”’ Hamilton said. She told jurors that Blagojevich sought to arrange deals in which entities that got state funding or approvals would then contribute to his campaign, that he sought to line the pockets of himself and his closest allies, and that he lied to the FBI when questioned about his fundraising activities. “In each one of these shakedowns, the message was clear .... ’Pay up or no
state action,”’ she said. The ousted governor sat listening with his head down, scribbling notes as the prosecutor spoke. In referring to federal authorities, and their might against Blagojevich, Adam told jurors the same people that were chasing al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden were chasing him. “And you know how many illegal accounts they found — none. He’s. Broke. He’s broke.” Judge James B. Zagel had given Adam — best known for his theatrical and successful defense of R&B star R. Kelly two years ago — an hour and 45 minutes for his statement. He had asked for up to two and a half hours. The former governor’s co-defendant — and brother — Robert Blagojevich, 54, a Nashville, Tenn., businessman, has pleaded not guilty to taking part in the alleged plan to sell the Senate seat and plotting to illegally squeeze a racetrack owner for a hefty contribution to the Blagojevich campaign fund. His attorney, Michael Ettinger, reminded jurors that Robert Blagojevich is a retired lieutenant colonel in the Army reserve who served in missile unit based in Germany and stayed in the reserves for 16 years. “Why am I telling you this? Because Robert Blagojevich ... is not about money,” Ettinger said, raising his voice slightly for emphasis. The jury was sworn in earlier Tuesday. Including alternates, the panel has 11 women and seven men.
General Motors pulls back on dealership cuts DETROIT (AP) — General Motors will keep open about 900 dealerships across the country that it had planned to close, a shift in corporate strategy that could preserve thousands of jobs. The automaker will wind up with about 5,000 U.S. dealers in July, up from original plans for 4,100, Mark Reuss, GM’s North America president, told The Associated Press. It had about 6,000 when it filed for bankruptcy last year. The change represents a desire by GM’s new leadership team to avoid the expense of closing dealerships, a step they say is not critical to bring the company back to profits. GM’s large dealer network “used to be one of our main, massive strengths,” Reuss told the AP during a recent test drive of the new Chevrolet Cruze. “I still think that’s true. It can be true with the right dealers.” July is the end of a federally mandated arbitration process under which dealerships that GM and Chrysler Group had targeted could appeal. Partly because of GM’s strategy change, only about a quarter of the 1,576 cases brought by GM and Chrysler dealers remain before arbitrators. “Everyone’s pretty excited,” said Bob Kapp, new car manager at Allen Chevrolet Cadillac in Monroe, Mich., which learned in April that it would be reinstated as a GM dealer and plans to hire 10 to 12 people as business picks up. “It was tough there for a while.” GM on Tuesday would not estimate how many to-
tal jobs might be saved. The National Automobile Dealers Association, a trade group, says about 50 people work at an average new-car dealership. Both GM and Chrysler announced plans to shed 2,800 dealerships as part of their reorganizations. The companies said their U.S. sales didn’t justify so many dealers — nearly 10,000 between them. By comparison, Toyota has only about 1,200 even though it’s the secondlargest automaker by U.S. sales. GM and Chrysler also argued that closing some dealers would make the remaining ones more profitable and allow them to invest in nicer facilities, advertising and training. GM’s last CEO, Fritz Henderson, convinced an Obama administration task force that GM needed to close struggling dealers. But he was ousted in November, just before Congress passed a law requiring arbitration before either automaker could cut a dealership loose. Since the arbitration hearings began in February, most cases have been settled — either because GM and Chrysler reinstated dealers or the dealers withdrew their cases, some of them to sign with other automakers, others to close for good. About 300 GM dealers and fewer than 100 Chrysler dealers targeted for closure are still awaiting a decision from arbitrators. Reuss wouldn’t elaborate on the change in GM’s strategy. “I’m concentrating on what it needs to be for the new GM,” he said. “I think
we’ve removed a lot of the anxiety and all the things that go with that.” Chrysler, too, will have more dealers than it planned when it emerged from bankruptcy, although it won’t say exactly how many. It closed about 800 last summer but has since agreed to reinstate about 10 percent of those. Chrysler has been more aggressive than GM in closing dealerships. It sued North Carolina and four other states to stop state laws that would have protected dealers. Because it closed its dealers immediately last year — instead of giving them a year’s warning, as GM did — Chrysler also faces some sticky legal cases. For example, an arbitrator recently ruled that Chrysler should reinstate a Dodge dealer in Deland, Fla., that was terminated last June. But Chrysler had already awarded Deland Dodge’s franchise agreement to another dealer across the street. Deland Dodge general manager Jeremy Kiel said it’s unclear what will happen next. In the meantime, he has had to lay off 10 employees. Still, arbitrators are siding with Chrysler more often than not. As of Tuesday, arbitrators have decided 22 cases in Chrysler’s favor and six in favor of dealers. “Business is business. There isn’t anything personal with it,” said Catherine Zimmer, owner of a Chrysler dealership in Florence, Ky., who just won her franchise back after arbitrators overruled Chrysler’s decision to cut her. She hopes to start selling new cars again by July 1.

Officials: U.S. Border agent shot teen at bridge EL PASO, Texas (AP) — A U.S. Border Patrol agent shot and killed a 15-year-old Mexican boy after a group trying to illegally enter the U.S. threw rocks at the agents at an international bridge near downtown El Paso, authorities said Tuesday. The shooting, which happened Monday evening, drew sharp criticism from Mexico, where the government said Tuesday that “the use of firearms to repel attacks with stones represents disproportionate use of force, particularly coming from authorities who have received specialized training.” According to the FBI, Border Patrol agents were responding to a group of suspected illegal immigrants being smuggled into the U.S. near the Paso Del Norte bridge, across from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico around 6:30 p.m. Monday. One suspected illegal immigrant was detained on the levy on the U.S. side, the FBI said in a statement. Another Border Patrol agent arrived on the concrete bank where the Rio Grande would be if there was water flowing, and detained a second suspect. Other suspects ran back into Mexico and began throwing rocks, the FBI said. At least one rock came from behind the agent, who was kneeling beside the suspected illegal immigrant he had prone on the ground, said FBI spokeswoman Andrea Simmons. The agent told the rock
throwers to stop and back off, but they continued. The agent fired his weapon several times, hitting one who later died, said the FBI, which is leading the investigation because it involved an assault on a federal officer. The agent was not injured, Simmons said. Border Patrol Special Operations Supervisor Ramiro Cordero said preliminary reports show that Border Patrol agents on bicycle patrol “were assaulted with rocks by an unknown number of people.” “During the assault at least one agent discharged his firearm,” he said. “The agent is currently on administrative leave. A thorough, multiagency investigation is currently on-going.” Chihuahua State officials released a statement Tuesday demanding a full investigation into the death of the boy, identified as Sergio Adrian Hernandez Huereca. The boy’s sister, Rosario Hernandez, told Associated Press Television News that her brother was playing with several friends and did not plan to cross the border. “They say that they started firing from over there and suddenly hit him in the head,” she said Monday. His mother, Maria Guadalupe Guereca, told Milenio TV in Mexico that her son had gone to visit his brother, who handles luggage at a border customs office. While there, he met up with a group of friends and
they decided to hang out by the river, she said. “That was his mistake, to have gone to the river,” she said. “That’s why they killed him.” She said he ran and hid underneath one of the bridge’s pillars upon hearing gunfire. “He was a boy, and even then they killed him,” she said. “I ask that they punish them. ... They left me without anything.” Sergio Belmonte, spokesman for the Ciudad Juarez mayor, said state justice officials have the body and are performing an autopsy before releasing the body to the family. The boy was shot once near the eye, and authorities found one 40-millimeter casing near the body on Mexican soil, said Arturo Sandoval, a spokesman for the Chihuahua Attorney General’s office. Authorities are still investigating the bullet’s trajectory, he said. Mexico’s Foreign Relations Department said it “energetically condemns” the shooting and demanded “an expeditious and transparent investigation of the facts and, if applicable, punishment of the guilty.” “Mexico is aware of the existing risks in the region, but, according to international standards, lethal force must be used only when the lives of people are in immediate danger and not as a dissuasive measure,” it said. The department said its

Mexican forensic experts examine the body of 15-year-old Sergio Adrian Hernandez Huereca under the Paso Del Norte border bridge in the city of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico on Monday. Chihuahua State officials released a statement Tuesday demanding a full investigation into the death of the boy who was allegedly shot by a U.S. Border Patrol agent after a confrontation, according to Mexican authorities. records indicated that the number of Mexicans killed or wounded by immigration authorities rose from five in 2008 to 12 in 2009 to 17 so far this year, which is not yet half over. The Rio Grande, which marks the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas, is now a broad muddy moat flanked by shallow concrete banks. T.J. Bonner, president of the union representing Bor-
der Patrol agents, said rock throwing incidents against Border Patrol agents are common and capable of causing serious injury. “It is a deadly force encounter,” Bonner said. “One that justifies the use of deadly force.” The violence in Mexico combined with assaults against Border Patrol agents in the U.S. has increased the level of apprehension agents
have about their safety, Bonner said. Less than two weeks ago, Mexican migrant Anastacio Hernandez, 32, died after a Customs and Border Protection officer shocked him with a stun gun at the San Ysidro border crossing that separates San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico. Last week the San Diego medical examiner’s office ruled that death a homicide.
In wake of blast, Massey says feds require unsafe mine ventilation miners in different states,” Harvey said. In the letter, Blankenship tells the governors of Illinois, West Virginia, Virginia and Kentucky that the system required by federal regulators is unsafe. All four are major coal-producing states. MSHA had no immediate comment. West Virginia mine safety chief Ron Wooten said there’s not enough information available to substantiate Massey’s charges. “Hopefully the conclusions of this investigation will help all parties fully understand what happened,” Wooten said through a spokeswoman. Virginia plans to review issues raised in the letter as individual
mine ventilation plans are submitted, said Mike Abbott, a spokesman for the Department of Mines Minerals and Energy. The mines in question use a longwall system — a 1,000-footlong machine somewhat akin to a deli slicer — to extract coal. The system MSHA is pushing was designed to capture methane in longwall mines working in the Pittsburgh seam in southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia, Massey said. That seam is prone to releasing relatively high volumes of methane. The company argues that the system is dangerous in seams that release lower amounts of methane because it keeps gas levels closer to the explosive range.
N.Y. teen charged in 2nd plot on his old high school Sweepstakes! similar” to Franko’s arrest in 2007 as a juvenile on charges of plotting to attack the school. That case was handled in Family Court; Franko left Connetquot High School and graduated from a special-education program where he met Saltzman, who is still a student. She is expected to be arraigned June 17 on the same felony conspiracy count. Her attorney, Cesar Galarza, said she intended to plead not guilty. “This was all his doing,” Galarza said. “He basically tried to take a 16-yearold and get her to carry out his plan, which she never intended to carry out.” The prosecutor noted that had Franko remained at the school, he would have been a graduating senior this month. “This was really his last opportunity to get all of these kids in the same place at the same time,” Kurtzrock said. Although Franko was ordered held without bail, Suffolk County Judge Stephen Braslow issued restraining orders barring the teen from contacting anyone associated with the school. “The school has been watching Christopher since prior to the first incident,” Connetquot Superintendent Alan Groveman said. “We remain concerned about the student’s anger toward students and staff.” He added that despite Franko’s incarceration, security staff, administrators and others have been provided with a photograph of the teenager as a precaution. “The most disturbing part of this is the potential danger to students and staff. It’s hard to be 100 percent perfect,” Groveman said. “To hear that students and staff have been targeted is really disturbing.” A court-appointed attor-
ney from Legal Aid, John Schick, entered the not guilty plea on behalf of Franko. He said he had only been assigned to the case on Tuesday and needed to research the allegations further. “Quite obviously there may be quite a few extenuating circumstances that could surface,” he told Suffolk County Court Judge Stephen Braslow. If convicted, Franko could be sentenced to up to 25 years in prison.

RIVERHEAD, N.Y. (AP) — A teenager plotted with another to pull off a Columbine-style attack on his former high school, authorities on New York’s Long Island said Tuesday — the second time in three years he has been accused of such a plot. Christopher Franko, who turned 18 on Tuesday, was ordered held without bail after his court-appointed attorney entered a not guilty plea to felony conspiracy. Franko and Dana Saltzman, 16, were arrested in early May on misdemeanor conspiracy, but a grand jury voted to upgrade the charges. The teens were plotting to attack Connetquot High School this Thursday with shotguns and explosives, prosecutors said. Their plan was to kill security guards outside of the school, then go inside and shoot as many students as possible, Assistant District Attorney Glenn Kurtzrock said. Once police arrived at the school, the pair planned to fire at officers before ultimately killing themselves, the prosecutor added. Kurtzrock added that Franko had diagrams of the school and they intended to go to locations “where they knew a lot of students congregated for the purpose of killing as many students as possible.” Their plot was thwarted in part when their attempts to purchase a shotgun at a local sporting goods store were rejected because neither teen was 18. Prosecutors say Franko intended to return to the store on Tuesday to make the purchase. Kurtzrock said he could not explain a motive, other than Franko had apparently been teased by classmates — a slight he never forgot. “He’s definitely a danger,” Kurtzrock said, adding that the case is “chillingly

“We can demonstrate, I think, that air flow was reduced after we implemented this plan,” Harvey said. Blankenship charges that MSHA’s system lowered air flow to the longwall face and the mined out area behind the machine at Big Branch. The system also sent air containing dust and methane removed from other parts of the mine on a circuitous route to the surface. Modern coal mines rely on ventilation to dilute methane and flush it out as quickly as possible. “The air flow under their plan met the minimum requirements,” Harvey said. “Ours would produce a lot more air to flush away methane.”

We’re willing to say that it’s something that certainly should be looked as part of the investigation and should be looked at by somebody other than MSHA,” said Massey lawyer Shane Harvey. MSHA required a Mach mine in Illinois to use the system last year and is believed to be requiring it at mines in several other states, Harvey said. Mach is appealing citations for violations stemming from MSHA’s ventilation plan. “We think it’s a safety issue that affects different states and

CHARLESTON, W.Va.

Moore, Lyerly drafted BY RONNIE GALLAGHER
rgallagher@salisburypost.com
The excitement surrounding Stephen Strasburg’s major-league debut for the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night reached Rowan County when Catawba outfielder and former West Rowan star Wade Moore was taken by the Nationals in the 19th round of the 2010 MLB draft. Moore, a third-team All-American, was the 566th pick. He had some company 15 picks later when team-
mate and former East Rowan star Craige Lyerly was chosen by the Tampa Bay Rays at No. 581. Catawba coach Jim Gantt was happy for both Rowan County greats. “There’s a lot of good athletes in the county,” Gantt said. “They love their baseball.” Moore, reached by phone on Tuesday night, said, “Obviously, I’m ecstatic.” Moore was the 2006 Rowan County Athlete of the Year and turned down football scholarships to sign with N.C. State in baseball.

He decided to transfer home for his senior season just to get on the field. He said he knew he could play at the major-league level, but added,

“Obviously, I couldn’t leave it in the hands of N.C. State.” Moore has been working out for several clubs. He said the most interest came from the Nationals, Cubs, Giants and Braves. He worked out for six teams, showing them throws from the outfield and running the 60-yard dash. “But I really felt, with the relationships I had with the area scouts, it didn’t surprise me (being drafted by the Nationals).” • Lyerly couldn’t be reached Tues-
day but Gantt gushed about the East Rowan product. Unlike Moore, Lyerly didn’t have the huge fanfare coming out of high school but Gantt realized his potential. “I remember him telling me not to worry about him — with his schoolwork or with baseball,” Gantt said. But the fanfare came. By the end of his career, Gantt said even the scouts were calling him by nickname, “Ern.”

BOSTON —
Kobe Bryant Lakers 91 s c o r e d Celtics 84 29 points a n d Derek Fisher added 16 to lead Los Angeles to a 91-84 victory over the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night and give the Lakers a 2-1 lead in the NBA finals. Bryant had 25 points after three but did not score for the first 10 minutes of the fourth quarter. That’s when Fisher took over, adding four key baskets after Boston winnowed a 17point first-half lead to one point. The Lakers regained home-court advantage they had lost when Boston took Game 2 in Los Angeles. Game 4 is Thursday night in Boston. Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum had 10 rebounds apiece for Los Angeles. Kevin Garnett, who had just six points in Boston’s victory Sunday, had 25 in Game 3. But Ray Allen, who had 32 points in Game 2, missed all 13 field goal attempts — one shy of the NBA finals futility record. The Celtics had high hopes after splitting the opening two games in Los Angeles, but the “Beat L.A.!” chants at the TD Garden couldn’t help them overcome poor shooting. The Lakers led by as many as 17 points in the first half, but Boston cut the deficit to four late in the third quarter and then made it 68-67 early in the fourth on consecutive drives by Glen “Big Baby” Davis and Rajon Rondo. With a chance to take the lead, Allen was called for an offensive foul away from the ball. Fisher drove for a layup at the other end that made it a three-point game then scored four of the Lakers’ next five baskets to give them a five-point lead with about 41⁄2 minutes left. “We just had to be poised and understand they’re going to make a run, and we did that,” Bryant said. “They made a push but they never fully got control of the game. We made big shots when we needed it.” Bryant said his teammate was “just Derek being Derek. He makes big plays all the time. He never ceases to amaze me.” Allen and Paul Pierce combined to go 1 for 13 from the field as Boston went nearly 6 minutes without a field goal in the first half. Pierce finished with 15 points, including 3 for 4 from 3-point range, but Allen never snapped out of it.

Strasburg doesn’t disappoint BY JOSEPH WHITE Associated Press

Washington’s Stephen Strasburg struck out 14.
WASHINGTON — Stephen Strasburg Nationals 5 struck out 14 Pirates 2 batters in his first game, took three shaving cream pies to the face, donned a silver Elvis wig — then compared it all to getting married. What could he possibly do for an encore? Baseball’s newest wunderkind went beyond the hype — and anyone’s reasonable expectations — with an electric and unprecedented major league debut Tuesday night in the Washington Nationals’ 5-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. “I’ve been catching a lot of guys,” said likely Hall of Famer Ivan Rodriguez, patting Strasburg
on the left shoulder, “but this kid is unbelievable.” With a standing-room-only crowd roaring at every chance, last year’s No. 1 overall draft pick put on a dazzling display of power pitching. His fastballs reached 100 mph — and still had movement when they crossed the plate — and his nasty curves were nearly impossible to hit. The 21-year-old right-hander allowed four hits, two earned runs and didn’t walk a batter, piling up the most strikeouts in a big league debut since J.R. Richard fanned 15 for Houston in 1971. He was pulled for a pinch hitter after seven innings and took a quick curtain call. After the final out, Strasburg was pelted with a shaving cream pie to the face courtesy of teammate John Lannan. The rookie was quickly handed a towel, but
after wiping his face was blindsided by two more pies. Then someone crowned him with the goofy, oversized wig that’s named after Elvis Presley — a clubhouse ritual for whoever teammates choose as the player of the game. “It’s hard to talk with so much shaving cream on my head,” Strasburg said. “I just wanted to go out there and say I’ve had my first outing in the big leagues. I’ve had a great time.” Strasburg always pitches in a hurry — the game took only 2 hours, 19 minutes — and plate umpire Tom Hallion even suggested to him that he slow down his warmups because the breaks between innings are longer in the majors. “The only thing I really remember is the first pitch — ball

Best start in South history BY MIKE LONDON
mlondon@salisburypost.com
ALBEMARLE — South Rowan’s LeS. Rowan 20 gion team is Stanly 3 9-1 — the best start in the program’s 15-year history. South is also 5-0 where it counts — in the Southern Division of Area III — after destroying Stanly 20-3 on the road on Tuesday night. South has scored 52 runs
and launched 10 homers in its last three games, and Carson Cougars powered three longballs to bury Stanly (6-4, 4-4). Gunnar Hogan and Julio Zubillaga ripped three-run shots. Joseph Basinger added a tape-measure, two-run bomb that might still be going. Catcher Tyler Freeze also had a big night. He doubled twice, scored three times and picked a runner off base. Coach Michael Lowman was attending to a family matter and missed South’s latest
offensive explosion, but Kenny Simpson, who took the reins, didn’t have to push many buttons or make any magical strategic moves. “When the kids are playing like this, you just let them go play,” Simpson said. “I felt for Stanly. I know they were way low on pitching and we were hitting the ball.” South was also pitching it. Weston Smith, a rising junior at Northwest Cabarrus, was phenomenal considering he dealt with serious down
time while his teammates were batting. South had a marathon, eight-run second and a seven-run sixth, so Smith basically had to warm up three different times. “It was kinda tough staying loose with all those long innings, but you never mind the run support,” Smith said. “And I liked Coach Goody’s (Brian Goodnight) pitch selection.” Smith, who has an MLB frame already, worked all seven innings. He struck out eight and scattered three hits.
HOGAN
ZUBILLAGA
Smith was dominant the last three innings, fanning seven of the last 11 he faced. Stanly’s Jordan Hildreth hit a two-run homer to left that curved around the foul pole. South fans barked, but Smith said the homer was legit.

UCLA wins softball title Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — Andrea Harrison hit a grand slam, Megan Langenfeld homered for the third time in two games and UCLA put on a record-setting offensive show to beat Arizona 15-9 Tuesday night and win its 11th Women’s College World Series title. Julie Burney and Samantha Camuso also homered for the Bruins (50-11) as a matchup of college softball’s two most successful programs turned into a home run derby. Stacie Chambers went deep twice and Lini Koria hit a solo shot for Arizona (52-14) as the teams combined to set a World Series record with seven long balls in the game. Ten of the 29 previous World Series didn’t have that many home runs during the entire event. But in this new offensive era, the championship trophy is headed back to a familiar place. It’s the first title for UCLA since the program won back-to-back trophies in 2003-04, and the first won by fourth-year coach Kelly Inouye-Perez. She won three NCAA championships as a catcher for the Bruins between 1989 and 1992. A 12th title for the Bruins, won in 1995, was later vacated due to NCAA rules infractions. The 24 runs scored in the game were five more than in any previous World Series game. Langenfeld was voted the event’s Most Outstanding Player after going 12 for 17.

Panthers’ LaFell prepared to block Associated Press
The NFL notebook ... CHARLOTTE — Rookie Brandon LaFell gets an earful each time he’s around new Panthers teammate Jonathan Stewart. In Carolina, blocking is not optional for a receiver. So if LaFell hopes to replace Muhsin Muhammad as a starter, he’ll have to open holes downfield for Stewart and DeAngelo Williams, the first teammates since the 1970 merger to each rush for over 1,100 yards. While the former LSU star’s head is spinning in optional workouts this month as he scrambles to learn the NFL, LaFell is confident he can be the big target, strongblocking receiver opposite Steve Smith after Carolina decided not to re-sign Muhammad. The 23-year-old LaFell also has the added motivation of trying to prove a lot of teams wrong for falling into the third round of the draft. MORE PANTHERS CHARLOTTE — Carolina Panthers restricted free agent linebacker Thomas Davis and cornerback Richard Marshall have signed their one-year tenders. Tuesday’s signings come hours after Davis appeared to tweak his surgically repaired right knee. The starting linebacker had been participating in the optional workouts this month under an injury waiver. Davis will make $3.268 million this season. Marshall, a starting cornerback, will make $1.759 million. Both players would have
been unrestricted free agents if NFL owners hadn’t decide to end the collective bargaining agreement after this season. That put new rules into place that made Davis and Marshall restricted free agent with few options. The Panthers made no attempt to sign either player to a long-term deal. REVIS RETURNS NEW YORK — All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis returned to practice with the New York Jets on Tuesday, despite not having a new contract in place. Revis was back for the voluntary practice session in a good-faith gesture after sitting out last Thursday amid a contract dispute. He has only missed that practice this offseason, and was not fined because it was voluntary. HENRY UPDATE CHARLOTTE — A toxicology report found no alcohol in Chris Henry’s system after the Cincinnati Bengals receiver died in December from a fractured skull and other head injuries in what’s been ruled an accident. The full autopsy and toxicology reports were released by the Mecklenburg County medical examiner’s office on Tuesday, nearly six months after Henry died when he came out of the back of a pickup truck driven by his fiancee. No traces of alcohol were found. The toxicology report didn’t include any other tests for drugs. Witnesses told police Henry jumped into the back of the moving vehicle driven by Loleini Tonga in the driveway of her family

It remains unclear if Henry jumped or fell out of the truck while it was traveling about 19 mph on a windy road about a mile from the home. Henry was declared brain dead 18 hours later. He was 26.

Along the main highway to Fort Jackson in Plaquemines Parish, coach Sean Payton, team owner Tom Benson and some players passed “Who Dat?” banners that sprouted where anti-BP signs had stood. A crowd packed the fort, which has been a staging area for cleaning birds rescued from the oil flowing from BP’s well in the Gulf of Mexico.
DURHAM — A retired Duke University financial executive has surpassed Mike Krzyzewski as the highest-paid person by the school — for one year, anyway. The Associated Press on Tuesday obtained Duke’s most recent IRS documents for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2009. Krzyzewski received nearly $4.2 million in total compensation in 2008-09 with a base salary of nearly $2 million and about $1.8 million in bonuses and incentives, according to the IRS Form 990 documents filed last month. Nearly $420,000 was listed as deferred compensation. The Hall of Fame coach annually ranks as the highest-paid employee at the school, which has a longstanding policy of not discussing contracts or salaries. The documents also show football coach David Cutcliffe was paid nearly $1.6 million.

PHILADELPHIA — In a city where the Stanley Cup drought is 49 years and ticking, the temptation is to say it’s OK to win the silver trophy at home. Win it in front of the rowdy home fans. Win it with “Chelsea Dagger” roaring through the stadium in an endless loop. Win it and keep partying right into the parade down past City Hall. It’s tempting, for sure. It’s just not necessarily ideal. The Chicago Blackhawks lead the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 in the Stanley Cup finals. The Blackhawks can win their first championship since the days of Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita in 1961 in Game 6 on Wednesday.

CHARLOTTE — Joey Logano made it clear on pit road at Pocono that he’s sick and tired of being pushed around. It’s about time. Logano, the scrawny new kid on the playground, finally stood up to one of the neighborhood bullies by essentially telling Kevin Harvick he was done playing nice. If the confrontation following Sunday’s race wasn’t enough to make his point, Logano followed up with three pointed shots at the veteran driver in a live television interview. One of them was about Harvick’s wife! Who knew the kid had it in him? After all, it was long overdue display of backbone for Logano, who likely earned a fair share of respect for finally standing up for himself after a season-and-a-half of being polite. Problem is, his newfound moxie has been somewhat overshadowed by the presence of Daddy. Ah, yes, Tom Logano. Back in the center of the storm. The elder Logano learned a hard lesson last year, when NASCAR pulled his credential for entering pit road to confront Greg Biffle following the Nationwide Series race at California. He was angry at how Biffle had raced his son, who only two weeks earlier had rolled his car seven times in a spectacular accident at Dover. Young Joey was clearly

Big inning lifts Tigers over White Sox Associated Press
The American League roundup ... CHICAGO — Far from perfect this time, Armando Galarraga was long gone when Brennan Boesch and Carlos Guillen hit back-to-back homers in a six-run seventh inning to lift the Detroit Tigers to a 7-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night. The centerpiece of a national story when a blown call against Cleveland last week spoiled a perfect game, Galarraga had a relatively uneventful night. He was cheered on his way to the mound and allowed two runs and seven hits in five innings. Rays 9, Blue Jays 0 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Strug-
gling slugger Carlos Pena homered twice and drove in five runs to back unbeaten Jeff Niemann’s two-hit pitching as Tampa Bay beat Toronto. Yankees 12, Orioles 7 BALTIMORE — Curtis Granderson hit a grand slam, Nick Swisher homered and drove in five runs, and New York cruised past Baltimore. Red Sox 3, Indians 2 CLEVELAND (AP) — Tim Wakefield bounced back from two rough outings and became Boston’s career leader in innings pitched, leading the Red Sox over Cleveland. Wakefield (2-4) gave up four hits and one earned run in 7 1-3 innings to reach 2,777 innings with Boston, one more than Roger Clemens worked in a
Red Sox uniform. Rangers 7, Mariners 1 ARLINGTON, Texas — Colby Lewis allowed four hits over seven innings and Vladimir Guerrero homered to help Texas beat Felix Hernandez. Lewis (5-4) had lost four of his previous five decisions before getting back on track against the Mariners. Elvis Andrus went 3 for 5 with two RBIs for the Rangers, who ended a two-game skid. Twins 7, Royals 3 MINNEAPOLIS — Zack Greinke was hit hard again, and Kansas City never recovered from its first-inning deficit in a loss to Kevin Slowey and Minnesota. Slowey (7-3) allowed three hits.
Cavs confirm contract offer to Izzo Associated Press
The NBA notebook ... CLEVELAND — LeBron James can pick his next team. If it’s the Cleveland Cavaliers, he won’t be selecting their coach. That was the powerful message from Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, who refused to comment Tuesday on reports he has offered a massive contract to Michigan State’s Tom Izzo and adamantly denied that James, the twotime MVP now on free agency’s doorstep, has been running Cleveland’s franchise.
Gilbert added that James will not be consulted during the team’s coaching search. HILL COMING BACK PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns say veteran forward Grant Hill has exercised the one-year player option on his contract and will return to the team next season. The 16-year veteran and seven-time All-Star averaged 11.3 points and 5.5 rebounds last season. Hill has played the last four seasons in Phoenix, averaging 12.1 pointswhile playing 233 of a possible 246 regularseason games. Last season, he became
shaken following that wreck, and his post-accident demeanor raised questions about his mettle. It didn’t help that TV cameras caught Tom Logano making a panicked sprint to the care center, painting a picture of a scared little boy in need of his father. It was probably an unfair characterization, but bigtime pro sports can be cutthroat and Joey Logano endured a decent dose of whispering about the back-toback incidents and the role of his father, the overzealous protector. Yet there he was again on Sunday at Pocono, where he was the second to reach Joey’s car after he was spun by Harvick in the closing laps. The first was a Joe Gibbs Racing crewman, who made an honest effort to keep the driver from wading into the sea of yellow-clad team members who had formed a barrier around Harvick. What happened next is up for interpretation, but multiple replays seemed to show the father encouraging his son to confront Harvick with both a gesture and what appeared to be a shout of “Go Ahead!” Joey Logano never got that close to Harvick, but he was red-faced and shouting, behavior never before seen in NASCAR from the polite 20-year-old. At some point in all the commotion, Tom Logano apparently shoved a television reporter out of his way, an action that earned the father his own trip to the NASCAR hauler.
Associated Press
the 18th active player to score 15,000 points. • Amare Stoudemire says he will opt out of the final year of his contract if he doesn’t re-sign with the Phoenix Suns before then. Stoudemire, speaking at his basketball camp Tuesday, said he deserves a maximum contract and would like it to be with Phoenix, where he has played since he was drafted out of high school in 2002. The All-Star power forward said there was “no chance” he would exercise the final year of his contract with the Suns, which would pay him $17 million.

According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), most of the more than 1 million cases of nonmelanoma skin cancer diagnosed each year in the United States alone are considered to be sun-related. These cancers rarely spread to other parts of the body, and typically develop on sun-exposed areas of the body, such as the face, neck, lips, ears, etc. The most common of all cancers, skin cancer accounts for nearly half of all cancers in the United States. Fortunately, for non-melanoma cancers a cure is highly likely if de-
tected and treated early. Even melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer, boasts a 5-year localized survival rate of 99 percent, meaning 99 percent of persons diagnosed are still alive 5 years after their initial diagnosis. Though that is encouraging, ACS statistics note that more than 10,000 people die annually from skin cancer, the vast majority of which are persons diagnosed with melanoma, emphasizing the importance of cancer screenings as well taking proper precautions when going out in the sun.

Are water softeners bad for health? Dear Dr. Gott: I reside in an independent-living complex. When it was built in 2001, they put soft water throughout our water system on both the hot and cold faucets. Could this cause problems such as high blood pressure, neuropathy, dementia and more? Many of the residents DR. PETER have had to take pills for GOTT high blood pressure and were never on them before. Some of these people are over 70 years old. Many of our residents are in the early stages of dementia and Alzheimer’s. It is scary knowing that possibly the salt water in our water system could be causing these problems. A faucet in the basement of our building isn’t connected to the system, so residents go there for a supply. The complex owner says he checked with a doctor who says the amount of salt in the
water would not be harmful to us. Do we have a chance of having a real problem here? Should the water be changed? Dear reader: Hard water causes a buildup of chemicals in household pipes, stains sinks, discolors laundry, and dries out skin following bathing. That said, the National Research Council has gone on record stating that drinking hard water does not pose health risks. While I don’t know what the condition of the water is in your area, obviously the owner of your complex determined that installing a water-softener system was the best way to go financially in the long run. The amount of sodium added to any system depends on the hardness of the water, but treated water doesn’t appear to add any significant amount of salt to the diet. Generally speaking, an 8-ounce glass of treated water contains less than 13 milligrams of sodium. The average adult without a history of hypertension requires between 1,500 and 2,400 milligrams of sodium each day. With a history of
high blood pressure, the recommended amount holds at 1,500 milligrams. A more likely cause of excessive sodium comes from a person’s diet. One teaspoon of salt contains 230 milligrams of sodium. Adding to that many processed foods, cold cuts, canned goods and soups brings the potential for excessive salt consumption far above the recommended daily allowance. There is an association between Alzheimer’s dementia and aluminum. Perhaps this is what some of your residents refer to. I cannot find any confirming reports of memory loss, Alzheimer’s or neuropathy caused by water-softening systems. A more likely consideration is that the residents of your establishment are aging and are developing diseases and disorders common to an advanced age. That said, it appears that by making a trip to the basement for drinking water, residents who fear potential side effects can bypass the problem. I would also recommend that residents request a sodium test be added to their
next routine lab work when they visit their physicians. Providing they eat a healthful diet and do not cook with or add salt to their meals, this will be one surefire way to resolve one of the issues. Because of the concerns you raise, I am sending you copies of my Health Reports “Hypertension” and “Alzheimer’s Disease.” Other readers who would like copies should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order for each report to Newsletter, P.O.

Widow of Marvin Isley calls him ‘great family man’
Sheila Isley said Tuesday that she met her husband on a plane 20 years ago and she immediately told her co-workers she would marry him. She was right. Marvin Isley stopped performing in 1996 after his diabetes caused him to have a stroke. He lost the use of his left hand and doctors had to amputate his legs. He joined his brothers’ band in 1973 after the band had scored hits like 1959’s “Shout.

CHICAGO (AP) — The widow of Isley Brothers’ bassist Marvin Isley says her husband was a “great family man” who always acted like she had the more high-profile job as a United Airlines flight attendant. Marvin Isley died Sunday of diabetes at an inpatient hospice in Chicago at age 56.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — More than “The Hills” may be ending for two of its stars — Heidi Montag has filed for separation from Spencer Pratt. She cited irreconcilable differences in a court document submitted Tuesday in Santa Monica, Calif. Montag and Pratt are stars

Scramble the signal with second-lowest BY PHILLIP ALDER
United Feature Syndicate
Good defenders signal to each other. Declarer must try to scramble those signals. Today’s deal is an example. Look at only the spade suit. South is in three notrump. West leads the spade ace, and East follows with the six. What should South play? The auction was straightforward, South “knowing” that his partner would cover his diamond weakness, and North happily bidding game. South starts with eight top tricks: three hearts and five clubs. He can get two extra winners in diamonds, but there is a risk that if West shifts at trick two, East may get in with the diamond ace and return a spade. How can South encourage West to continue spades? By playing his eight and hiding the two. Now West might believe that his partner began with Q-6-2 of spades. If West does play a second spade, whether it is the king or a low one, South gets his ninth trick with the spade queen. Yes, perhaps West will decide that East would have played the queen at trick one if he had it, but that would not be best if West had led from A-K-x-x or A-K-J-x. At least, though, South has given West something to think about. If instead South plays the two at trick one, West knows East has played his lowest spade. And with doubleton queen-six, East would have played the queen, hoping for
the best. The rule is: Play like the third hand. If you want the leader to continue his suit, drop an unnecessarily high card (an encouraging signal). If you prefer the leader to shift at trick two, play your lowest card (a discouraging signal).

Nationals fans packed the stands to cheer on Stephen Strasburg.
STRASBURG FROM 1B
inside — everything else is just such a blur,” Strasburg said. “At one point I lost track of how many innings I threw. I was like, ’You know what? I’m just going to go out there and have fun.’ It’s amazing. “It’s kind of like when you get married and everything, you kind of go into it wanting to remember everything — and once it’s done, you can’t remember a single thing.” Strasburg should know. He was married in January. His family, gathered in the corner of the news conference room, joined in the laughter. When he left the podium, he gave hugs to all of them. Strasburg got better as the game progressed, and the ballpark was near delirium when he struck out the side on 13 pitches in his final inning. He fanned the last seven batters he faced, and all nine Pirates in the starting lineup struck out at least once. “It’s never easy to hit 97 to 100 (mph),” said Andy LaRoche, Strasburg’s final strikeout victim, “especially when he’s got a curveball like that. It’s the combination of the two. You can say, ’All right, here comes 100 right down the middle,’ or ’Here comes the curveball,’ and it’s still tough to hit.” Karl Spooner also struck out 15 in his debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1954. He and Richard are the only pitchers with more strikeouts than Strasburg in a major league debut since 1920 — and Spooner and Richard both had three walks. Strasburg also tied Max Scherzer of the Detroit Tigers for most strikeouts in a game in the majors this season. Scherzer had 14 on May 30 against Oakland. Strasburg left with a 4-2 lead. When it was announced that he had set a team
start working with him. “He has tremendous power,” Gantt said. “It’s going to be scary if he utilizes that power. Pitchers didn’t give him anything to hit.” Gantt said Tampa Bay is a good fit for Lyerly. “He fits their mold,” he said. “He can run.” And then, Gantt gave Lyerly the best compliment of all. “He hasn’t played his best baseball yet.” • Moore led Catawba in most offensive categories. He finished his senior year with a .410 average to go with 16 home runs, 59 runs batted in and 20 doubles. He scored 77 runs. “He came back a better player,”
record for strikeouts since the franchise’s move to Washington in 2005, the crowd cheered again — and Strasburg emerged to the top step of the dugout and tipped his cap. “It’s something I’ve never seen before,” Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman said. “Usually you see it in basketball, in the NBA, stuff like that. Never in baseball. ... It’s his game and a lot of people came out to watch him. He didn’t really let them down.” The day was nicknamed “Strasmus” — and it was the biggest baseball event in the nation’s capital since the sport returned after a 33-year absence. To go real deep into history, one could argue that Strasburg had the most anticipated Washington rookie pitching debut since Walter Johnson at the long-forgotten American League Park on Aug. 2, 1907. Strasburg threw 94 pitches — roughly the limit imposed by management before the game — and 65 were strikes. He made one mistake, a 90 mph changeup golfed by Delwyn Young into the first row in right field for a two-run homer in the fourth inning. The ball would have made a great souvenir, but a fan threw it back onto the field. Cameras flashed as Strasburg (1-0) threw his first pitch at 7:06 p.m. — at 97 mph and well inside to leadoff hitter Andrew McCutchen. Fans booed when Hallion called it a ball. Rodriguez then handed the ball to the umpire and it was removed from play for posterity. “I wanted to call a breaking ball,” Rodriguez said. “He said no.” Strasburg was promoted after dominating the minors, going 7-2 with a 1.30 ERA, 65 strikeouts and only 13 walks in 11 starts in Double-A and Triple-A. His debut came nearly a year to the day after he was drafted No. 1 overall, and one day after the Nationals — who have lost 100 games in consecutive seasons.
Gantt said. “He gave us everything we expected. He helped us get to the regionals and that was the best thing. He helped the team.” Moore’s run total was the fourth best total in a season at Catawba. His .790 slugging percentage has him ranked seventh in school history. Moore had 52 walks and a .542 onbase percentage, both of which are second all-time for a season. Moore watched the draft with his family and once the 19th round came around, the screen on his TV went blank. His dad, Dick, got a call from a friend and just as he was telling him his son hadn’t been drafted, Moore’s name came across.
“It looked so beautiful,” Moore said. “I was trying to act cool and calm because I didn’t want my family to be disappointed. But I was getting antsy.” Moore said his phone hasn’t stopped ringing or his texts haven’t stopped coming. He said three texts came in with the news before he even saw his name. Moore was asked if he would celebrate. “I’m just going to sit back with the family,” he said. Moore’s agent Ty York is also the agent for former South Rowan star and current Kannapolis Intimidator Daniel Wagner. Moore thinks he’ll be sent to a short-season team in Vermont.
“It was hooking, but it was still fair,” he said. “I left that pitch up, and I guess when you leave pitches up in Legion ball, that’s what happens.” South’s biggest concern was the weather. It led 12-4 at Stanly recently when the game was rained out before it was official. That’s why South had to return to Montgomery Park for a makeup on Tuesday. South again brought its bats, and this time Mother Nature cooperated. A sacrifice fly by Patrick Bearden and a two-out single by Basinger gave South a 2-0 lead in the first. Catawba signees Blake Hous- BASINGER ton and Zubillaga, who combined to score seven runs, set the table. Two-run singles by Maverick Miles and Tripp Cross keyed South’s eight-run second that stretched the lead to 10-0. H o g a n ’ s MILES three-run homer in the third made it 131. Hogan started slowly this summer, but he’s figured it out now. He’s homered in each of his last two games, while driving in seven. “Just better pitch selection, getting better pitches to hit,” Hogan said. “I haven’t been swinging at the junk.” Believe it or not, Stanly’s No. 9 hitter Matt Huneycutt didn’t get to plate for the first time until the bottom of the third. By then, the game was 82 minutes old. Basinger’s booming homer to left in the sixth prompted P.A. man Charles Curcio to announce that it was time to draw a half-andhalf ticket.

More than 1,300 students to graduate from Rowan-Salisbury Schools BY KATHY CHAFFIN
kchaffin@salisburypost.com
An estimated 1,377 seniors are expected to graduate from the Rowan-Salisbury Schools in commencement exercises Friday. Though final numbers will not be available until all exams are graded and factored into students’ grades, the estimated number by high school are as follows: Carson, 256; East Rowan, 279; Henderson Independent, 5; North Rowan, 128; Salisbury, 181; South Rowan, 237; and West Rowan, 291.
In the Kannapolis City Schools, 269 students are expected to graduate from A.L. Brown High School. The graduation ceremony will be held at 6:30 p.m. Friday in the Kannapolis Performing Arts Center. Four Rowan-Salisbury schools plan to hold graduation ceremonies in Keppel Auditorium at Catawba College. The first will be South Rowan at 9 a.m. followed by East at noon, North at 4 p.m. and Salisbury at 8 pm. West Rowan will hold its graduation at 8 a.m. Friday in the football stadium, Hender-
son Independent at 11 a.m. in the auditorium and Carson at 2 p.m. in the gym. Superintendent Dr. Judy Grissom says it doesn’t matter how many years she has been involved in education, this time of year is always bittersweet. “To stand on stage and shake the hands of our graduating seniors culminates what we are all about and why we do what we do each day,” she says. “To see their smiles and knowing the adventures that await these young men and women is so exciting, and I always look forward to hear-
ing from them as the years go by.” Grissom says two of the high schools mark a first with this year’s graduating classes. “Jesse Carson High School’s senior graduates are the inaugural class that opened the brand new high school as the first freshman class in the fall of 2006,” she says. “They are the first class to complete four years at Carson. These years have flown by. “North Rowan High School will be graduating the first class of students that has participated in the iPod touch
program. Technology is changing the way students learn, and this class illustrates how our district continues to provide schools that are globally competitive. “And this is the first year that students were required to complete a graduation project, and they all did an excellent job. I am very proud of all our graduates and I wish for them the very best in their future endeavors.” Commencement speakers and junior marshals by school are listed as follows: A.L. Brown High School Speakers will be the valedic-
torian, whose name had not been announced Tuesday, and Principal Kevin Garay. Junior marshals, who earned the distinction based on their cumulative weighted grade-point averages, are Jackson Boone, chief marshal; MacKenzie Church; Austin Vernon; Kathryn Auten; Elizabeth Forrest; Austin Mincey; Vanessa Rojas; Martel Campbell; Houston Skipper; Taylor Overcash; Justin Kidd; Jennifer Williams; Erika Lessane; Renee Smith; and Kelsie Gibson.

Taking responsibility in life B Y K ATHY C HAFFIN

Augustine Wiggins had to grow up quickly. At age 6, his father was in prison and his mother would go out partying at night, leaving Augustine to care for his two younger brothers and two younger sisters. “I would fix food on the stove for me and my brother, and I had to fix baby formula for the younger ones,” he says. “I changed diapers, did homework ...” This continued until Augustine was 8. “The neighbors heard a noise,” he says, “and so they came over one night and asked if my mom was at home. I said no, and they called the police.
“The police came over and took us to my grandparents’ house.” The Rowan County Department of Social Services got involved, and Augustine and his siblings were adopted by various family members. His father’s parents, Vera and Ernest Wiggins, adopted him and his younger brother, Joseph, a rising senior at North. His mother’s parents in Gastonia adopted his younger brother and sister, who are twins, and his youngest sister lives with her father. “She had a different father,” he says. When he went to live with his grandparents, Augustine says he had a difficult time transitioning to a more nor-
mal childhood. “I felt like they took my responsibilities away,” he says. “I started to cope with it after a while.” Ten years later, Augustine is preparing to graduate from North Rowan High School with a 3.2 grade-point average. He will be attending Wingate University this fall on an academic and track scholarship with plans to major in marketing and sports management. “My career goal is to become a sports agent,” he says. Augustine was also selected as the J. Michael McDuffie Memorial Scholarship recipient at North Rowan. The scholarship is given to JON C.

No matter how tough life is, move on BY KATHY CHAFFIN

No matter how tough life gets, Chy’Keyla Caldwell says there’s always someone out there who is struggling more. “So you should always use that as a reason to push forward because there’s no reason you can’t do anything,” she says. Chy’Keyla has faced several challenges during her education, including moving from Salisbury to Iredell County and then South Carolina be-
fore returning to her home. “I’m happy to be back,” she says. Though she lives with her father, Walter Brotherton, Chy’Keyla was living with her mother when she moved. The custody battle between her parents ended up with a judge allowing Chy’Keyla to decide with whom she wanted to live. It was the summer before the fifth grade when it happened. “It was real stressful,” she says, “because that would determine how the rest of my life would be. It was such a
young age and a big decision.” Chy’Keyla chose to live with her mother, then changed her mind and moved back to Salisbury to be with her father. The experience made her a stronger person, she says, “and taught me how to make good decisions.” Despite the stress of changing schools, she managed to keep her grades up

A mother who believed in him and an attorney who challenged him to do better made a good student out of Emiziah “John” Everwine. Before that, he’ll be the first to tell you he was anything but. “I started out as a third-time freshman,” he says. What that means, John explains, is that he literally spent three years in the ninth grade at South Rowan High School. “I just never went to class,” he says, “didn’t do my homework, never did the classwork. I was rebellious and argued with the teachers.” Looking back, John says he and the friends he had at China Grove Middle School, where he had made good grades, drifted apart after a couple of months at the high school. Getting involved with the wrong crowd while trying to fit in contributed to his bad attitude, he says. John’s problems escalated his third year as a freshman when he was charged with assaulting a teacher. “I pushed him out of my face,” he says. “I raised my voice and said some foul language I know I shouldn’t have. “As a teenager like that, you don’t care.” John says the intervention specialist at South tried to get him to drop out. “She said that would probably be my best op-

That kind of drove me to want to graduate. “Everybody was like, ‘You’re not a good kid,’ but my mother was like, ‘You’re a lot smarter than that.’ ” Cecil Whitley, the Salisbury attorney his mother hired to represent John, also saw who he could become. Whitley offered him an internship with his law firm if he would pull his grades back up to As and Bs. John, who was sentenced to six months of supervised probation and ordered to complete 24 hours of community service work at the school and attend an anger management course, accepted the challenge.
“After the assault charge, I just started doing my school work,” he says. John managed to make good enough grades to pull his grade-point average up to 2.93 and will graduate Friday only a year behind schedule. He completed his internship with Whitley last semester, helping with office work, running errands in the courthouse and getting a chance to meet the judges and other attorneys. John’s experience with the court system at an early age and his internship with Whitley influenced his decision to pursue law as a career.

West Rowan senior Sadie Chuor reclines in the principal’s chair.
All the way from California BY KATHY CHAFFIN
kchaffin@salisburypost.com
Sadie Chuor left all her friends behind when her family moved from California to western Rowan. “It was definitely hard just starting all over,” she says, “new friends, new school, new place.” Sadie started eighth grade at West Middle School not knowing anyone. There was also a major
difference between California and Rowan County. There wasn’t as much to do here, she says. To make matters worse, what was to be a new beginning for her family took a turn when her parents separated a few months later and then divorced. “It’s kind of sad,” Sadie says, “but divorce is like a common thing these days. It was hard dealing with that.”
The family split geographically as well. Steve Chuor returned to California with Sadie’s older brother, Damian. Sadie says she was very close to her father and the separation was very difficult. Though she could have gone with him, she chose to remain in Rowan with her mother, Tracy Doan, and little sister, Haley. “The only

Overcoming physical adversity BY KATHY CHAFFIN

Being born with spina bifada may require Brynne Lippard to walk on crutches, but it hasn’t slowed her down. “I still do basically everything that everybody else does,” she says. “I don’t let my disability get me out of doing things at school and stuff.” East Rowan High School guidance counselor Laura Marlow says Brynne was the
unanimous choice of the school’s scholarship committee as the nominee for the J. Michael McDuffie Memorial Scholarship, which is awarded to students who have overcome hardships and excelled in school. “She’s very well respected by her peers and her teachers,” she says. “Everybody respects her because she doesn’t view herself as having this disability.” Brynne, who has a 3.8
grade-point average, says she didn’t know anything about the scholarship until she was announced as the winner at the school’s Senior Awards Night. She also received a $500 Margaret Basinger Scholarship and two scholarships to Pfeiffer University — a Presidential Scholarship for $8,000 and a Scopes Scholarship for $2,000.

In addition to the J.

As a lawyer, John says he hopes he can make the same kind of impression on the youths he represents as Whitley did on him. Ashley Tomlinson, guidance counselor at South, says Kathy McDuffie, the director of secondary education for the

and will graduate from Salisbury High on Friday with a 3.5 grade-point average. Chy’Keyla says leaving the high school will be emotional. “I’ve grown to appreciate a lot of the people there,” she says. “They’ve helped me through a lot.” Chy’Keyla says Mildred Chinaka, who serves as faculty adviser for the TRU (Tobacco Reality Unfiltered) Club, has been especially helpful to her. “She’s provided me with a lot of good insight along the way,” she says. “She’s always there if I need her.” It was Chinaka, intervention specialist at the school, who nominated Chy’Keyla for the J. Michael McDuffie Memorial Scholarship for students who overcome adversities and excel in school. Chinaka can’t say enough good things about Chy’Keyla. “She is a very strong young lady who is committed to whatever she’s doing,” she says. “Adversities that we

other relatives we have here is my mom’s mother and my mom’s sister,” she says. It didn’t take Sadie long to adjust to living in the West Rowan district. “I’m used to it now,” she says, “not just the location, but the people in general. The people here are a lot nicer. I’ve grown to like it a lot.” In the meantime, Sadie’s mother remarried and had another son, Devin. What started out as a difficult transition has turned into a success story for Sadie. She will graduate from West Rowan High School Friday with a 4.43 grade-point average, having taken honors and AP classes. Sadie was selected as the recipient of the J. Michael McDuffie Memorial Scholarship for West Rowan, which is awarded to one student at every Rowan-Salisbury high school who has faced significant hardships in their lives. “Life is hard,” Sadie says. “You’re going to go through things, but it will only make you stronger. You’ve just got to push through it, and I per-

enced and persevered through significant hardships in their lives, have successfully completed high school and have a plan for their future. One thing Augustine says he learned from his childhood is that “you can go through bad things in the beginning, but as long as you strive and work hard in school and choose to be a positive person, you can achieve your goals.” An important factor in doing that, Augustine says, is to surround yourself with positive people. “You can’t be around negative people,” he says. “I’d rather have people around me that push me to reach for my goals.” Looking back, he says his experience as a young child
school system who started the scholarship in memory of her husband, suggested John as a nominee after talking with him during a luncheon at South. Tomlinson says it was a pleasure nominating him. “I wish that every student would grow up the way he did during high school,” she says. “It’s just amazing for him to come from where he was and make such a positive change.” John says he and the teacher he assaulted are now friends. Tomlinson says he is a wonderful student. “He comes to school and tries his best and still helps his family,” she says. John works with his mother, Teresa Everwine, in the op-
eration of her trucking company, Bowers Trucking. He also helps her around the house. They worked together to create a lawn filled with beautiful flower beds and intricate walkways. Tomlinson says John also tries to be a positive role model for his younger sister, Tabitha. He also has an older brother and sister. John’s devotion to his mother is evident by how many times he brings her up in conversation. He says she paid off their house working as a waitress before starting the trucking company. “She’s a heck of a woman, I’ll give you that,” he says. Contact Kathy Chaffin at 704-797-4249.
have in life can propel us in a positive way or hold us back. What she has done in her life is to let them propel her in a positive way.” As vice president of the TRU Club, Chy’Keyla moderated a recent Wheel of TRU event at Salisbury Mall. Afterward, Chinaka says parents came up to her wanting to know who she was. “A lot of people praised her and said she did an excellent job.” Chy’Keyla was also among three masters of ceremony at a Salisbury High talent show sponsored by the TRU Club, Me Time and the Key Club. “She will go far in life,” Chinaka says. “I think she has good values, even though she had the disruptions in her life that she’s had. She has good values and morals that she stands by and adheres to.” Chy’Keyla says she was surprised when she heard her name announced at the school’s community awards program as the winner of the McDuffie scholarship. “I knew I had been through some hardships,” she says, “but I knew there were also other people out there that
were also deserving. ... I was really excited because I know there are going to be some difficulties coming up with funding for school, and that will be a big help.” Chy’Keyla has two younger brothers and two younger sisters. “I feel like I’ve become a better role model for them,” she says. She also helps out younger kids in the community. “There’s a girl waiting on me now to help her with something,” she says. Chy’Keyla plans to study biochemistry at East Carolina University. “I want to work in forensics and that would pretty much cover the entire field,” she says. The whole aspect of “finding out why something happened or how” is fascinating to Chy’Keyla. Her role model is President Barack Obama, and she recites one of his quotes as her philosophy in life: “Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” Contact Kathy Chaffin at 704-797-4249.
sonally just try to stay positive about everything ... I’m grateful for what I have, and I work hard for what I have.” She was also accepted into the Access Program at Appalachian State, which means that most of her tuition and costs will be paid for by the university. Sadie also received a $500 National Honor Society scholarship. While at West, Sadie has been a member of the soccer and swim teams. She served as executive treasurer of the Student Government Association this year and vice president of the National Honor Society, having served as a representative last year. She’s also on West Rowan’s Relay for Life team and served as team captain last year. Sadie was a Junior Civitan her freshman and sophomore years, is a member of the Young Life Christian organization and copy editor of the school newspaper. Sadie says she is grateful to guidance counselor Laura Fry and English teacher and newspaper adviser Lydia Richmond. In her first year at West, she says Fry helped her with college applications. “Any questions I had, she was
there to answer,” she says. “I’m very thankful to have had her.” Richmond served as kind of a second mother, Sadie says. “Whether it had to do with school or home stuff, I knew I could talk to her about anything and it not be awkward.” Fry says Sadie goes way beyond what is expected of her in all her endeavors. “I’ve certainly considered it a pleasure and privilege to work with her and get to know her this year,” she say. In addition to maintaining her high grade-point average and participating in two sports and numerous clubs and organizations at West, Sadie works as a cashier at Food Lion. “I don’t think there could have been a more worthwhile recipient of any scholarship that she’s been awarded,” Fry says. Sadie plans to major in biology on a pre-med path at Appalachian. I’ve always known I wanted to do something in the medical field,” she says. “Right now, I’m kind of leaning toward radiology, so we’ll see how that goes.” Contact Kathy Chaffin at 704-797-4249.
helped make him a better person. “It made me more mature and responsible among my peers.” Going to North Rowan High School has been a positive experience for Augustine. “It’s a relatively small school,” he says, “and it’s more focused. The teachers can give you more advice ... They can not only build you as a student in the classroom, but can help build your character outside the classroom.” William Tenborg, senior guidance counselor at North, says Augustine is one of the most polite young men he has ever known. “He’s got a pretty good direction of what he wants to do and how he wants to get there,” he says, “and he’s focused on those things ... He’s just a great young kid.” Augustine joined the track team when he started
riding home with a senior member of the girls’ track team during his freshman year and would have to wait for her to finish practice. “I got tired of sitting in the car,” he says, “so I started participating.” He also runs cross-country. Augustine and his family attend Mount Zion Baptist Church, where he is a member of the mime ministry. “People in the church influence me to stay focused and set goals that I can reach only through hard work and dedication,” he says. He’s a member of the Key Club and Spanish Club at North and is president of the DECA Marketing Club. Augustine participates in the Teen Court program and volunteers at Rowan Regional Medical Center in the summers, transporting patients in wheelchairs. Contact Kathy Chaffin at 704-797-4249.

Scholarship awards those who overcome Kathy McDuffie, director of secondary education and career technical education for the Rowan-Salisbury School System, says her family and friends established the J. Michael McDuffie Memorial Scholarship as a way to honor her late husband’s memory and his love of children. The $500 scholarship is awarded to a graduating senior from each RowanSalisbury high school who has experienced and persevered through a significant hardship in life. Their hardship could be physical, emotional or environmental.
OVERCOMING FROM 13C mute to Pfeiffer and study accounting. “I’m not really sure what I want to do and thought I might like something like that,” she says. Brynne is vice president of the East Rowan Student Council and a member of the National Honor Society. She has been a Junior Civitan for four years and a member of the Future Business Leaders of American (FBLA) for three years. In addition, Brynne served as scorekeeper for the girls’ track team her freshman, sophomore and junior years. Marlow says Coach Laurie Wyrick says students would try to give her a ride around the track or to the bus when they were traveling, but Brynne always turned them down. “She was like, ‘I’ll do it myself,’ ” Marlow says.
This is the second year the scholarship has been awarded. “Through Mike's 21month battle with cancer, he never gave up or gave in,” Kathy McDuffie says. “He was always positive and enjoyed life and every day he was given. “When faced with a setback or another medical issue, he would say, ‘This is just a bump in the road.’ He believed it was all part of the Lord’s plan for his life. He set a wonderful example for our children and me as well as for many others whose path he crossed.”
McDuffie’s family asked each school’s scholarship committee to select a student for the scholarship. The purpose of the scholarship, she says, “is to support students who have faced difficulties and through perseverance and determination, they have successfully completed high school and have a plan for their future. “This should be a student who has lived by the motto of the Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research,” Kathy McDuffie says, “which is ‘Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up.’ ”
“She has a positive attitude, and she’s always willing to help other students.” Brynne says all of the staff and students at East have been very kind in offering to help her. “But I pretty much take care of everything on my own,” she says. Even as a young child, she accepted spina bifada — a condition that occurs when the backbone and spinal canal do not close before birth —as being a part of her life. Brynne says Charlotte Cherry, law and justice teacher and Student Council adviser at East, has had a positive influence on her educational career. She has worked with Cherry since being elected to the Student Council her sophomore year. She says it hasn’t quite hit her yet that she’ll be graduating Friday. “I’m kind of nervous about col-
lege,” she admits. “I don’t know if I’m ready.” The daughter of Julie and Mike Lippard, Brynne has an older brother, Derrick Preston, who lives in Philadelphia; an older sister, Kara Preston, who is a third-grade teacher; and a younger brother, Reid Lippard, who is a sophomore at East. Her family is very supportive, she says, and has encouraged her throughout her school years. As for hobbies, Brynne says she likes to shop, spend time in her family’s swimming pool and hang out with friends. She is a member of the Youth Group at Grace Bible Church, where she has attended her whole life. Her family’s going to celebrate Brynne’s graduation with a trip to Disney World.

Teens retrace the steps of many legendary civil rights icons CHARLOTTE — This summer, 12 area students will take a seven-day bus tour through the south to study the civil rights movement. The tour is part of the Stratford Richardson YMCA’s Creating a Usable Past program for middle and high school students, which focuses on critical thinking skills, writing, leadership, community service and educational advancement. Pfeiffer University history professor Dr. Michael Thompson began planning for the trip following a tour he took two years ago with civil rights leader Julian Bond. He also created a curriculum for students to study. Since April, students have been meeting on Thursdays to learn about the civil rights movement, key figures and historic places. They also kept a journal, watched documentaries and discussed past and current events. In addition, students who went on the tour last year served as peer mentors to this year’s participants. The group talked about race and identity, equality and cultural differences. More than 50 students applied for the 12 available spots. “I feel this generation of young people who are at the cusp of adulthood face an interesting crossroads where the issue of race and race relations reveals itself in our country,” said Thompson, who was granted a sabbatical by Pfeiffer officials to pursue the project. “I firmly believe that providing students opportunities to engage their past outside the classroom can make the learning experience both

valuable and meaningful. Fortunately, the YMCA leadership in Charlotte warmly received my idea to support this important initiative.” The tour will take place June 13-19 across nine cities. The sites include the Dexter Avenue Church in Montgomery, Alabama; the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tennessee, and the University of Mississippi. Students will also meet and photograph historians and who participated in the civil rights movement. Their pictures from the trip will be displayed in a photo exhibit when they return. The students will also blog daily about their experiences at www.creatingausablepast2010.blogspot.com Transportation and accommodations have been provided by the Stratford Richardson YMCA and the YMCA of Greater Charlotte so there is no cost to students. CMS students who will participate in the tour include: Ayana Daniel and Nevahl Dixon of West Char-
lotte High; Vandell Jackson and Tiarra Price of Midwood High; Bryanna Norwood of Butler High, Breanna Washington of Northwest School of the Arts; Marlon Dunlap and Lazaro Guiterrez of Wilson Middle and Sydney Espy and Keith Miller III of Alexander Graham Middle. Former and present students in the program will address the media during a press conference Tuesday, June 8, 10:30-11:30 a.m. at the Stratford Richardson YMCA, 1946 West Blvd. The students will also take the media on a tour of the photo exhibit from the 2009 civil rights tour. The Stratford Richardson YMCA is located on the west corridor in Charlotte. The branch was named after Charlotte civil rights activists Willie J. Stratford, Sr. and Jim Richardson. The Stratford Richardson YMCA teen programs provide students with better choices to empower them to become the best they can be.

Gray Stone Day School graduation and senior plans Gray Stone Day School will hold its sixth graduation commencement ceremony on Friday at 7 p.m. The ceremony will be held in Merner Gymnasium on Pfeiffer University’s Misenheimer campus and a reception honoring the seniors and their parents will follow. Gray Stone Day School alumna Gretyl Kinsey will provide
the music. The commencement speaker will be Pat McCrory. McCrory is the former mayor of Charlotte. He voluntarily ended his 14-year term as Charlotte’s longest serving mayor in December 2009. During his record breaking tenure, more than 200,000 new jobs were created, crime was reduced to a 30-year low
and his leadership of Charlotte’s 25-year transportation and land use plan, including the Carolinas’ first light rail system, gained national recognition. In 2010, former mayor McCrory continues to be a partner with McCrory & Company, a sales and client development consulting firm, and he is also senior di-
rector of strategic initiatives for Moore & Van Allen, PLLC, headquartered in Charlotte. McCrory serves on the Board of Directors of Lending Tree and Kewaunee Scientific Corp. After a close defeat as the Republican nominee for governor in 2008, McCrory’s name is often mentioned as the leading can-
didate for many political offices, including governor in 2012. This year 63 area graduates will complete their high school careers as they prepare to go on to college. It is the fifth year seniors have completed a service project as part of their graduation requirements. The students have worked hours in their
communities helping to implement new programs or to benefit established ones. Student commencement speakers are Greg Asciutto, Christina Eller, Ric Huneycutt, Molly Peele, Blair Streater and Megan Yost. Junior marshals are Rachel Bangle, Candace

Connecticut school board to appeal church grad ruling HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut school board has voted to appeal a federal court ruling that would keep the town’s two high school graduation ceremonies out of a megachurch. Tuesday night’s 5-4 vote by Enfield’s Board of Education reverses a board deci-
sion last week to let stand the temporary injunction issued by U.S. District Court Judge Janet Hall. Hall found that holding the June 23 and 24 graduations at First Cathedral Baptist Church in Bloomfield would amount to an unconstitutional government endorsement of religion.
Attorney Vincent McCarthy, who’s representing the school district, plans to file with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. American Civil Liberties Union attorney David McGuire says he’s disappointed by the decision but believes the injunction will be upheld.

She went to live with her grandparents, Elizabeth and Leon Long, while two of her sisters, Amanda and Sarah, found other living arrangements. Her sister, Amy, was already living on her own. Madison’s grandparents lived in the Carson district, so she transferred there from East Rowan High School, leaving her friends behind.

Madison Long was only 14 when her parents died. She was helping to care for her mother, who had cirrhosis of the liver and Hepatitis C, when her father died of a drug overdose. Madison says it was her boyfriend, Gary Scott, who helped her through it. Gary was her cousin’s best friend, and she had met him at her grandparents’ house. “We talked for about four months and had starting going out with friends,” she says. Madison says she became so overwhelmed taking care of her mother after her father died that she began to neglect herself. “Gary made sure I was taking a bath every day and getting something to eat and stuff like

As it turned out, her grandmother already suspected that Madison was pregnant. “She was very, very upset that I didn’t tell her as soon as I found out,” she says.

Hall and Mitchell focus on education, budget BY KARISSA MINN
kminn@salisburypost.com
Two county commissioners running for re-election focused on budget and education issues in a candidate forum Tuesday. Rowan County Commissioners Chad Mitchell and Tina Hall addressed voters during a candidate forum Tuesday at Catawba College. In the June 22 second primary election, the two will compete for a spot on the November ballot Mitchell and Hall finished third and fourth, respectively, in the May 4 Republican primary race for county commissioner. Mitchell didn’t receive a large enough share of the votes to avoid a runoff election. He is running for a third term on the board of commissioners, and Hall is seeking a second. Dr. Michael Bitzer, associate professor of political science and history at Catawba, served as a moderator. He asked the candidates several questions on different topics, some of which came from Post readers. The first question addressed the topic of school funding, fresh in many people’s minds from the county’s public hearing on the budget Monday evening. A Post reader asked if the candidates were willing to support meeting Rowan-Salisbury Schools halfway in making up the $3 million gap in its funding request. Mitchell, 34, is a teacher at East Rowan High School. He replied that while the county could fund half or even all of the request for one year, it

likely wouldn’t be able to sustain that funding. A smaller increase, he said, may be the best option. “We have to fund the schools at a level where they can operate and do what they’re supposed to do at a level of sustainability that the county can continue funding,” he said. Hall, 59, is retired from the RowanSalisbury Schools, where she had been a teacher, assistant principal, director and principal. She said the county couldn’t come up with $3.3 million as a continuing item, but commissioners should work to provide some of that increase. She said there is a good chance the state will give more responsibilities to counties in order to balance its budget in future years, leaving counties with even less money. “As a commissioner, I have to look at the big picture,” Hall said. Another question asked how infrastructure repairs and maintenance at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College fit into the candidates’ budgetary priorities. Hall said the school has dire needs, but the county will have a hard time coming up with the $3 million to $10 million it would take to address those needs. She suggested putting an item on the November ballot, similar to one recently passed to pay for a jail annex, that would propose a temporary tax increase to pay for RCCC’s capital needs. “I know we have a very kind and understanding community in Rowan

A Salisbury woman will spend at least 23 years in prison for trying to murder her boyfriend with rat poison. On Monday, Superior Court Judge Ted Royster sentenced Debora Kay Nelson to 23 to 281⁄3 years in prison for the attempted first-degree murder of her boyfriend. A Rowan County jury convicted Nelson Thursday of using rat poison to try and kill Richard Whitling, the man she was living with at 350 Old Wood Lane. Royster made his decision on the NELSON sentence after the jury found that an aggravating factor existed — that Nelson took advantage of a position of trust or confidence to commit the crime. Nelson is 49; Whitling, 76. The Rowan County Sheriff's Office charged Nelson in 2007 after following up on an anonymous tip that she had been putting rat poison in Whitling's coffee over an extended period of time. He was hospitalized after her arrest. A January 2009 trying of the case was declared a mistrial when the jury could not reach a verdict. Nelson has been in jail since April 2007. Assistant District Attorney Karen Biernacki prosecuted the case last week.

An arson investigation is under way in a fire that destroyed a Jake Alexander Boulevard business. Salisbury Auto Spa, a car detailing business at 1500 Jake Alexander Blvd., was destroyed in the blaze around 3 a.m. Monday. Deputy Police Chief Steve Whitley said two people have called police to report seeing a older model — possibly a late 1990s white Ford pickup in the area. The callers said the vehicle made three or four trips through the adjacent Jake Alexander Auto Sales and by the detail shop. The callers said that after the vehicle passed by a final time there was a loud pop and then flames. Salisbury Police are working with the city fire investigators and the SBI. Anyone who has any information is asked to call 704-638-5333. The auto detailing shop and adjacent auto sales business are owned by Mark Honeycutt.

me to,” she says, “but at the time, she had to work all the time. It was easier for me to get back and forth to the doctor.” Though she had only been going to Carson for a short while, Madison says she had developed two or three close friendships with students. “When they found out I was pregnant, they were supportive,” she says, “but you could tell it put space between us.” Four months into her pregnancy, Madison heard that one of her best friends at East named Holly was also pregnant. “So we went through our pregnancies together,” she says. Madison was able to complete her sophomore year at Carson and gave birth to Sage on July 18, 2008. Holly was there for the delivery, and Madison says she was with Holly when she gave birth to her son, Kyle. They have remained good friends and get together with their sons for “little park dates,” she says. Gary’s mother took time off from her job when Sage was born to help Madison and
Gary with him. She took care of him during the day when they returned to Carson. When Sage got older and Gary’s mother returned to work, Madison says they tried leaving him with three or four different babysitters. “But it never worked out,” he says. “Finally, at the end of my boyfriend’s senior year, he dropped out and starting watching the baby full time.” Madison says Gary plans to return to school at some point to earn his high school equivalency. They have rented an apartment together in Granite Quarry. “We have disagreements like all couples,” Madison says, “but we sit down and talk about them. We know that we have a little boy, so we work through it and talk about it. That helps a lot.” Brooke Misenheimer, guidance counselor at Carson, has worked with Madison since she transferred there her sophomore year. “I have truly been amazed at how she has overcome so many obstacles and so many challenges,” she says. “I am just so, so proud of her. “Words just can’t express how happy I am for her and just how amazed I am at what she’s been able to accomplish despite the challenges that

The forum is in advance of a runoff election between Mitchell and Hall for seats on the Rowan County Commission. Both are current members of the board. see fit. “Sometimes, we get the idea that development is bad, and no development is allowed on farmland,” Mitchell said. “That is where I do not believe a county-wide plan is in the best interest of citizens.” Hall said that a land use plan, while not the same as a farmland preservation plan, has worked well for western Rowan County and will likely be expanded to
the rest of the county. “The plan is not all that some folks wanted, and it’s more than other folks wanted, but it’s a good start,” she said. Other questions asked the candidates about their long-term vision for Rowan County, and what they would like to see funded once revenues improve. Hall stressed open government, saying that the best decisions are made
when discussions are public. With more revenue, she said she would like to see more work done on RCCC and the county airport. She also has long held a dream of an International Baccalaureate program in the county to draw the “best minds” and businesses here. Mitchell said his three main priorities were financial stability, full employment and a great school sys-
tem. He said he would like to see RCCC’s needs addressed, and lottery money — currently used to pay down the county’s bond debt — transitioned to the schools for capital needs. If all service levels are adequate, he said, he would then seek to cut taxes. Catawba College, the Salisbury Post and the Rowan County Chamber of Commerce sponsored Tuesday’s forum.
have come her way over the last few years.” Misenheimer says Madison may be the most resilient young woman she has ever known. “She has been able to maintain this positive attitude and has stayed so motivated.” Madison, who will graduate from Carson on Friday with a 3.6 grade-point average, received the $500 J. Michael McDuffie Memorial Scholarship for students who persevere through a significant hardship and excel in school. She also received a Good Beginnings for Teen Parents Scholarship for $500 and an F&M Bank Scholarship for $500. Madison plans to attend Rowan-Cabarrus Community College and earn her RN degree in the two-year program there. “I’ve wanted to be a nurse for a long, long time,” she says, “since I was about 5. Once my mom got sick, I was like ‘This is what I have to do. This is what I love to do.’ ”
Her career goal is to become a labor and delivery nurse. Madison says Misenheimer was always there for her when she had a question or needed to talk about problems at home and school. “She would help me to figure it out and help me not to be so stressed.” Misenheimer says Madison went through some major life changes at Carson. “I think a lot of times, she just needed somebody to listen to her. Madison is very open and honest and very willing to share. That’s something I really respect about her is she’ll tell you exactly what’s she’s thinking.” Madison says all of the teachers and staff at Carson have been very supportive of her. When it comes to issues she faces as a young mother, Madison says she receives support through the Parents as Teachers Program sponsored by the Rowan County Adolescent and Family En-
richment Council. As part of the program, a parent educator is assigned to each teen parent. Mary Burrage is currently assigned to help Madison. “She comes out to my house every two weeks,” Madison says, “and she shows me different things that I can do with Sage and makes sure he’s doing what he’s supposed to do at different ages.” Sage, for example, at almost 23 months, is a little delayed in speech. “He’s not bad,” Madison says, “but I was concerned about that, so she gave me different handouts showing me ways I could work with him and try to get him to talk to me.” Orrie Bowes previously worked with Madison as a parent educator. “She’s not my educator anymore,” she says, “but she and I still talk daily and she gives me advice. She’s like my best friend.” When asked what she would say to a young teenager who just found out she’s
pregnant, Madison says she would encourage her not to drop out of school. “There are resources that can help you,” she says. “You just have to seek them out and not give up.” Madison says she believes that “God doesn’t put too much on you, so when you feel like you can’t go on, remember He knows you can handle it.” Though she doesn’t attend church regularly, Madison says she went to church faithfully with her grandmother until she was 7 years old. ‘I still go every once in a while,” she says, “and I pray.” After giving birth to Sage, a cute little boy with blonde hair, Madison says she knew she really had to put her mind to doing well in school. Knowing that she has to be able to provide for him is what keeps her going. “I want his life to be a lot better than mine was when I was little,” she says. Contact Kathy Chaffin at 704-797-4249.

the state. He said before any repairing or rebuilding work starts, though, there needs to be a plan in place. “We have to work with RCCC, Rowan-Salisbury Schools and Rowan County general government and know exactly what buildings we need in Rowan County, when we need them and... how we intend on paying for them,” Mitchell said. When asked what the key difference was between them, Hall and Mitchell both said that while their voting records are quite similar, distinctions can be found in their governing style. “I’m a full-time commissioner,” Hall said. “I’m retired, so I am able to devote 100 percent of my time to being a county commissioner.” Hall also said that she and Mitchell differed on a key vote on the tax rate in 2007. She voted for revenueneutral rate, and Mitchell did not. Mitchell said that while he isn’t a full-time commissioner, his time spent in the schools and the community gives him a different perspective than someone might get by staying in the county office. “I think I get a better understanding of what citizens of Rowan County need, want and deserve from talking with them outside of the context of an official capacity,” Mitchell said. One question Tuesday asked about candidates’ priorities when balancing the county budget. “Is it raising revenues, cutting county staff, cutting county programs such as li-

braries and parks, and/or cutting education funding?” Bitzer asked. Mitchell answered that he does not support increasing revenue in the form of raising taxes or fees. Fortunately, he said, the county hasn’t had to make major cuts to county programs or education funding, because it has used the savings in its fund balance to sustain services. Hall said the county has cut staff, changed its insurance carrier and made other changes to reign in spending. In the future, she said, the county may have to look into cutting hours at the parks and libraries in order to remain financially sound. The candidates were asked how much the county should dip into its $22 million fund balance to continue to fund requests from schools and other county agencies. Mitchell said that the county already has dipped into its fund balance for $1 million last year, and it likely will do so again this year for $1.5 to $3 million. If revenues don’t improve significantly, another $3 million hit the following year could bring it down to $16 million. Mitchell and Hall both agreed that commissioners should follow the advice of County Manager Gary Page not to fall below the $16 million mark. Beyond that, bond rating agencies will view the county as fiscally irresponsible and increase its interest rates. The candidates also were asked if a county farmland preservation plan would be a priority. Mitchell replied that while agriculture is important to the county, people generally should be able to do with their land what they

Landis, Mecklenburg County enter into 9-year recycling contract BY SHAVONNE POTTS
spotts@salisburypost.com
LANDIS — Town residents will be able to recycle under an agreement approved by the Board of Aldermen this week. The board voted Monday to enter into a nine-year recycling contract with Mecklenburg County. The service will begin in August. The service won’t mean an additional cost to residents although the town will be respon-
sible for transporting recyclables to the Metrolina Recycling Center in Charlotte. Mecklenburg, which normally would charge a tipping fee if the town’s recyclables reached a certain limit, will sell the recyclable materials and won’t charge Landis for taking them as long as the center’s revenue exceeds its operating costs. “They’re excited to receive our recyclables,” Town Manager Reed Linn said. The town would have to
share in Mecklenburg’s cost to dispose of non-recyclable waste mixed in with recyclables if the waste reaches a particular percentage. Alderman Tony Hilton said the program will help the environment and save money on tipping fees. He also asked that residents be informed about the program via media outlets and inserts in the utility bills. The town board discussed offering curbside recycling during its earlier budget work-
shops, though Monday’s discussion didn’t specify whether residents will have curbside bins under the approved plan. Town leaders didn’t discuss how much it would cost to deliver the recyclables to Mecklenburg County. The board also: • Denied a request from True Homes, developers of the Oaks of Landis subdivision along U.S. 29, to reduce square footage in some new homes. The developers asked the

Planning board members expressed concern at their May and June meetings about mixing smaller homes with existing larger homes, the potential effect on property values in the area and questions about whether families would be allowed to buy the smaller homes if retirees don’t.

Salisbury Symphony Orchestra executive director about Susan Trivette

Susan Trivette, far left, performs with the Salisbury Symphony Orchestra during the 2008 Pops at the Post concert. Trivette has been a flutist in the orchestra since she was a junior in high school in 1969.
The driver of a tractor-trailer struck Monday morning by a westbound train near Shaver Wood Products was listed in fair condition today at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. The N.C. Highway Patrol identified the driver as Ronald Lee Shoemaker, 47, of Statesville, a driver for American Cartage. Trooper J.N. Horton charged Shoemaker with careless and reckless driving. Horton reported that two eyewitnesses said Shoemaker’s rig, which was leaving Shaver Wood Products and heading toward U.S. 70, approached the tracks slowly but continued into the rail crossing without stopping. The rig was hit by a westbound Norfolk Southern freight train. The collision sent the tractor-trailer down an embankment and onto its side, where it caught on fire. Passing motorists and three men from Shaver Wood Products — a couple of whom were mowing grass — helped free Shoemaker from the cab of the truck. One of the workers, William Trull, was treated at Iredell Memorial Medical Center for smoke inhalation. Shoemaker initially went to Iredell Memorial, but was flown later to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem. Horton said the driver’s injuries included a neck injury and cuts to his face. Shoemaker doesn’t remember what happened, Horton said. The crossing leaving Shaver Wood Products is marked by both a stop sign and a rail crossing sign, according to Horton.

One note at a time Susan Trivette uses music, teaching to serve the community Watching Susan Trivette’s fingers dance along the keys of the flute as she plays “Simple Gifts,” it’s obvious she loves performing. “Every time you play it’s a different experience,” she said. “It’s not like listening to a recording, which is the same every time you listen to it. “Live music is always a new experience.” The Rowan County native has been performing as a flutist in the Salisbury Symphony Orchestra since her junior year of high school in 1969. She began playing the instrument in sixth grade and
auditioned for the orchestra at the suggestion of her piano teacher. “It was very intimidating to do that,” she said. “But it got me ready for the college auditions.” Trivette took a four-year hiatus from the orchestra to attend the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where she received her Bachelor of Music Education with a concentration in flute and secondary in organ. After graduating, she returned to Rowan County with plans to teach high school band, but with no positions available at the time she accepted a job as an elementary music teacher. Trivette fell in with love with teaching elementary music and
ended up holding the position in the Rowan-Salisbury School System for 31 years. It was a position she found both rewarding and valuable. “(Music) is a way for students to excel when they can’t excel academically,” she said. “It gives them self confidence, improves their self esteem and they learn that you have to work for things to happen — you just can’t go straight to class and not practice. “You have to work at it and sometimes it takes a while to see results.” Her dedication to education earned her the honor of Granite Quarry Elementary’s Teacher of the Year in 1998. Trivette’s commitment to ed-
ucation extends far beyond the classroom. After retiring in 2008, she took on the role of director of education with the Salisbury Symphony Orchestra. She is responsible for running the after-school strings program and collaborating with the school system to offer special programs and workshops throughout the year. “She has been a wonderful partner from day one; she’s marvelous to work with,” Linda Jones, executive director of the orchestra, said. “From the beginning she was always asking what she could do.”

Wife of internationally known philanthropist dies at 67 BY MARK WINEKA
mwineka@salisburypost.com
Josephine “Josie” Tucker Robertson, wife of Salisbury native and internationally known hedge fund manager and philanthropist Julian Robertson Jr., died Tuesday at her home in New York City. She was 67 and had put up a long fight against breast cancer. It was in his wife’s honor — and
as a surprise — that Julian Robertson gave $25 million to New York’s Lincoln Center in 1998. The plaza outside the Lincoln Center bears her name. Robertson said at the time it’s one of New York’s most beautiful spots, and it was lucky to have his wife’s name. With an $18 million initial endowment, Julian Robertson Jr. established the Blanche and Julian
Robertson Family Foundation in 1997 in honor of his late parents, longtime Salisbury residents. The foundation, overseen by a mostly local board of directors, has become Rowan County’s foremost charitable organization over the past dozen years. David Setzer, executive director

Deputy Chief Steve Whitley of the Salisbury Police Department, said Marcella Goble is the sister of Joshua Craig, who K. GOBLE was previously charged with stealing medication and awaiting a court date on July 1. According to the police report, the victim in the larceny case was at a bus stop in downtown Salisbury on May 30. She reported to police that the Gobles were in a car that pulled up.

TRIVETTE FROM 3A
Jones said Trivette was immediately met with challenges upon taking on her new role. When the school system cut funding for the afterschool strings program, Trivette didn’t accept the news, instead, she got busy writing grants and searching for options to keep the program intact. Her enthusiasm encouraged people to go online to vote in the Pepsi Refresh Project, which landed the program a $5,000 grant. “We got that grant because she got the community involved and excited.” Jones said. “That (money) is going to make our after-school strings program strong again. “(Trivette) just fanned the flames until the fire built back up.” Although Trivette has spent most of her life as an educator, she also finds time to use her skills to serve the community. “She’s been in the community a long, long time and she’s very much a part of it,” Jones said. She performs at several lo-
juana plants had been located growing in a wooded area behind 425 Goodman Road on May 15. Detectives from the Sheriff’s Special Investigations Unit responded and found 42 marijuana plants growing in the woods. Investigators followed a footEATON path from the plants to 425 Goodman Road, and found an additional marijuana plant growing beside the front porch. Investigators received permission to search the residence and found additional items related to growing marijuana. Investigators later interviewed Eaton who admitted that the plants belonged to him.

Centralina Council of Government asks Rowan to keep membership BY KARISSA MINN
kminn@salisburypost.com
Representatives from the Centralina Council of Government (CCOG) asked county commissioners Monday to keep Rowan County’s membership to the group. At its first budget workshop last week, the Rowan County Board of Commissioners asked County Manager Gary Page to evaluate the costs and benefits of membership in CCOG and two other partnerships. Commissioners have talked previously about pulling out of the group, but the proposed budget still includes about $34,000 in dues. Al Sharp, executive director of CCOG, spoke during the county’s public hearing on the proposed budget Monday. “We have just conducted a blue-ribbon panel, and Centralina is refocusing on needed regional policy issues that will affect us all,” Sharp said. Those issues include air quality, water resources and transportation planning — including the Yadkin River Bridge, he said. “In economic development, we’ve been working with infrastructure issues,” Sharp said. “We’ve brought more than $10 million to the region. Regretfully, none of this is to Rowan County because you’ve not

of the foundation, said he learned of Josie Robertson’s death Tuesday afternoon in an e-mail from Julian’s sister, Wyndham. He informed members of the board of directors after receiving that notice. The Robertsons had been married for 38 years and had three boys: Spencer of Brooklyn, Jay of Hawk’s Bay, New Zealand; and Alexander of Manhattan. The daughter of Robert and Josephine “Pimmie” Spencer Tucker, Josie Robertson was born May 16, 1943, in San Antonio, and graduated from Saint Mary’s Hall there in 1961. She later attended Briarcliff College and graduated from the University of Texas in 1965. Before her marriage to Robertson in 1972, Josie Robertson and her sister-inlaw started and managed Tuckertown, a business designing and producing Christmas-tree ornaments sold to leading department stores. Known throughout her life for her artistic talents and creativity, she collaborated with her husband to build two

been active in this program.” Also speaking for CCOG was the council’s aging program administrator, Gayla Woody. “I have been working in Rowan County now for more than 25 years,” Woody said. “We’ve seen a number of services and programs for older adults built during those 25 years.” More than half of the county’s membership dues, she said, allow the allocation of $755,000 in grant funds for programs like adult day care, inhome aide services, senior center operation and congregate meals. The council also helps provide funding for older adult job training, evidence-based health promotion, a family caregiver program and an ombudsman program for those in long-term care. Woody said that in 20 years, 75 percent of North Carolina’s counties will have more older adults than people under 17 years old. “It’s very important that we work together to look for ways to provide and accommodate for our older population, so that they can stay well and active and involved members of the community,” she said. Sharp told commissioners that if the county pulled out of CCOG, it would cost $16,000 to
apply for the grants the county normally receives. He said having a voice in regional issues through membership with the council can help bring additional benefits to Rowan County. “While aging is our most important and popular program,” he said, “it’s being at the table that makes a difference for Rowan to have a voice in the region.” At last Wednesday’s budget workshop, Commissioner Jon Barber was the first to request a cost-benefit analysis for memberships in CCOG and the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners. Others agreed and added the Charlotte Regional Partnership to that list. “I would like to see, for those annual membership dues, what are we getting for them?” Barber said. He and Chairman Carl Ford both brought up concerns about the administration fees necessary to continue applying for grant money. “We still have to go through CCOG, because that’s the way it’s set up with the state, to make sure that we get our grants and keep senior services flowing,” Ford said. Commissioner Chad Mitchell said the fees would be worth paying to save the difference in the cost of the dues.
golf-course resorts in New Zealand, which they designed from scratch, beginning in the 1990s. According to a press release, hers was the eye behind the impeccable style of the two award-winning lodges built near the golf courses. An avid golfer, she was the 2006 women’s champion at Sebonack Golf Club in Southampton, NY. She also was a wizard with flowers and loved arranging them when entertaining friends and family. Described as gracious, lighthearted and kind, she masked a formidable set of organizational skills which she put to work as a mother of three sons and as a volunteer in New York City. Josie Robertson joined the Women’s Board of The Boys’ Club of New York in 1978, served as its president, and in 2000 was elected to its board of trustees. In 2007, when she was the honoree at its annual spring dance, a group of friends raised money in her honor for the Boys’ Club’s Josie Robertson School of Music and Art. She also was on the Board of Overseers of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center since 2004 and was a director of Classroom Inc. from 1999-2008, before serving as an honorary director and
chairing the Classroom Inc. Council. In 1996, the Robertsons established the Robertson Foundation which supports education, medical research, religion and spirituality, and environmental causes. She and her husband were leading supporters also of the Central Park Conservancy, where she joined the board of the Women’s Committee in 1997. In 1998 they funded the restoration of the 59th Street Pond and its surrounding landscape. In addition to her husband and sons, she is survived by Spencer’s wife, Sarah, and their three children, Hollis, Hart and Wyndham; two sisters, Mary Cassell of Albuquerque and Julia Rasmussen of Houston; and two brothers, Robert Tucker of San Antonio and George Tucker of Midland. The funeral will be at 11 a.m. Friday at St. Bartholomew’s Church, 325 Park Ave., N.Y. Visitation will be from 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m. and 5-7 p.m. at Frank Campbell Funeral Home, 1076 Madison Ave. Thursday.

KANNAPOLIS — The cult classic film “The Princess Bride” will play outdoors Friday night in Kannapolis.

N.C. Democrats complain about petition drive tactics Whalen said the party would e-mail Democrats advising them that they can call county election offices and ask that their signatures be removed. “We are trying to make sure that people are being honest with the registered voters of the 8th District,” Whalen said in an interview. North Carolina First is being funded by the Service Employees International Union and its local, the State Employees Association of North Carolina. It must turn in petitions to county election board offices in the 8th District by Thursday in order to so the signatures could be verified. The group needs nearly 17,000 verified signatures from registered voters so Wendell Fant, who used to work in Kissell’s office, can run if he chooses. North Carolina First Chairman Chuck Stone said in an
interview there’s “been no distortion in informing people of why we’re trying to create a third party and put another candidate on the ballot.” He called it typical of the two major parties to try to discredit those who would try to give voters more options. The group is unhappy with Kissell’s voting record, particularly his opposition to the Democatic-penned health care legislation approved by Congress and signed by President Obama. Kissell defeated GOP incumbent Robin Hayes in 2008. “Apparently Larry Kissell and the Democratic Party will do or say anything to keep voters from having another choice in the district,” North Carolina First spokesman Greg Rideout added. North Carolina First was unsuccessful in obtaining the more than 85,000 signatures it needed to become an offi-
cial new political party in North Carolina this year so it could field candidates in at least two other congressional races. The group decided instead to focus on collecting signatures to help Fant become a candidate in the 8th District against Kissell; a Republican challenger yet to be decided; and Libertarian Thomas Hill. Stone said he expected the group will turn in a number of signatures this week that would exceed the threshold for an independent candidate. Democrats were worried about a third party’s ability to cut into votes for incumbents, which could lead to Republicans winning seats. The union groups have “failed in their effort to create a new party and are now continuing to waste their member’s hard-earned dues in this foolhardy and shortsighted attempt to place a
candidate on the November ballot,” Whalen said in a news release. The barrage between the unions and the party is surprising because SEIU gave more than $1 million to the state Democratic Party for
the 2008 elections, and the State Employees Association’s political arm generally has supported Democratic candidates. The association did endorse Republican gubernatorial candidate Patrick Ballantine in 2004.

RALEIGH (AP) — A fight between the state Democratic Party and a union over a swing congressional district got tougher Tuesday as party officials accused a group trying to qualify an independent candidate of misleading voters into signing petitions before a key deadline. Party leaders contend voters in the 8th Congressional District that paid representatives of the group North Carolina First aren’t explaining when they go door-to-door that they’re trying to put another candidate on the ballot to challenge Democrat incumbent Larry Kissell. Instead, they’ve been saying the petition is for “better jobs,” according to Andrew Whalen, the party’s executive director, citing media reports and phone calls from Democrats in the district who have received knocks on their doors.

Liquor law changes approved by House panel J.A. FISHER RALEIGH (AP) — Local ABC boards would have to meet financial and customer service standards in its liquor sales or they could face closure, and all its members would be subject to a gift ban and other ethics rules in legislation approved Tuesday by a state House panel. The bill that left the House’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Committee went beyond the recommendations of a special study commission completed last month before the session began. The state ABC Commission also would receive more power to monitor the activities of the local, largely independent boards that sell liquor in cities or counties. The study commission examined the ABC rules following news reports about the high salaries of local board administrators and meals paid for by liquor companies to local ABC leaders. Gov. Beverly Perdue had sought changes, too. “It puts the ABC Commission in a new role in providing more direct oversight and setting performance standards,” said state commission Chair-
man Jon Williams. a Perdue appointee. “All told, it looks like that we will emerge with a much stronger, more reliable ABC system and the public will have more assurance these public enterprises are run with the high ethical standards that the public deserves.” North Carolina is among 18 “control” states where government directly controls wholesale and retail liquor distribution, but it’s the only one where local ABC boards sell the spirits and essentially run their own operations. The measure went beyond the study commission’s recommendations to require the state’s nearly 170 local ABC boards to create their own ethics codes. It also would prohibit local board members from accepting gifts from contractors doing business with their panel or stores and to avoid conflicts of interest that could financially benefit themselves or family members. Each local board would be subject to performance standards set by the state ABC Commission, including store operating efficiency, solven-
cy and customer service and enforcement of the alcohol laws. Lawmakers avoided the word “profitability” although some poorly performing stores don’t make money. Other lawmakers and advocates of the current system argue the purpose of the nearly 75year-old ABC system and its more than 400 stores is to control liquor sales, not to make a profit. The state ABC Commission could close stores or force a local board to merge with one nearby if standards aren’t met, but the local board could have up to 20 months to fix the problems. An amendment offered by Rep. Pryor Gibson, D-Anson, raised that period of time from 12 months. “On balance, having more time is a very important part of the proposal,” said Jon Carr, lobbyist for the North Carolina Association of ABC Boards. “We’d ask for time to improve.” Rep. Edgar Starnes, RCaldwell, said 12 months was already enough time: “If you don’t meet your performance standards, there needs to be a consequence.” The measure, which now

(AP) — A man imprisoned for sexually assaulting and killing an 8year-old girl in North Carolina 25 years ago is being charged with the death of a 7year-old girl. Multiple media outlets reported that George Richard Fisher was arrested Tuesday in the 1984 death of Carrie Wilkerson. The girl was discovered strangled and sexually assaulted in a burning mobile home in Carrboro. Police have linked Fisher to the case using DNA evidence that was not available during the original investigation. Fisher is serving life in prison for the 1985 killing and attempted rape of 8-year-old Jean Fewel in Chapel Hill.

The bill also would: — limit the compensation of local ABC general managers to the pay that local Clerks of Superior Court receive, up to $112,607 in the most populous counties. But pay can go higher if a county commission or town council approves it. — prohibit an employee from having direct supervision over a family member in a local ABC board. The two changes are in response to reports that the father-and-son store administrators in New Hanover County received more than $400,000 in combined compensation.

WHERE THERE’S SMOKE, THERE’S FATHER Father’s Day is occasion to light the torch, pass it on BY GRETCHEN MCKAY Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
I don’t know about you, but I sort of freak out when something I’m grilling catches fire and dinner, quite literally, goes up in a plume of black smoke. But my husband? No barbecue flame is ever too big, too hot or too scary for him to manage. Call it a guy thing. Since the first prehistoric man discovered that woolly mammoth tasted a heck of a lot better roasted than bloody and raw, men have been cooking over fire and loving every sizzling, potentially dangerous minute of it. “It’s primal,” my husband, a grillmeister if there ever was one, tells me. “We see a fire and get the urge to throw something big and juicy on it.” And if that “something” accidentally ignites? That’s why they invented squirt bottles, 18-inch tongs and insulated oven mitts, dummy! In the kitchen, notes Bob Sloan, author of “Dad’s Awesome Grilling Book,” it always feels as though something could go wrong. The pace is a bit more frenetic, there’s more margin for error and the end product (even if it’s delicious) is naturally compared with Mom’s version. “No matter how hard I try, whatever I make is either ‘not as good as Mom’s’ or ‘just as good as Mom’s,’ “he writes. “Either way, I’m deep in her gastronomic shadow.” But the grill? That’s a man’s special domain, his oasis from the vicissitudes of being a dad, Sloan says. Other than the lid and the burner knobs, there’s not a whole lot of moving parts on a grill, he says, so men feel more in control — of the heat, of the food, of their culinary abilities. They appreciate the simplicity of grill cooking. “Ultimately, it’s Step A and then Step A again,” Sloan says in a phone interview. Men also get to be outside while grilling. With that in mind, it’s completely understandable why dads all across the country will be firing up the grill in celebration of Father’s Day on June 20. And why Mom will be hovering happily in the background. His day, his say, his way. “What’s the joke ... where there’s smoke, there’s father?” quips Sloan. Most likely, legions of sons also will be watching and learning, so when the time comes for the ceremonial passing of the tongs, they’ll be ready. Not that that’s a problem, as grilling has come a long way from its humble roots in the past few years. When Sloan was a kid, for instance, homemade sauces still were fairly unheard of, and the Asian section at the grocery store consisted of soy sauce, water chestnuts and baby corn. So the Chinese-style, sweet-andsour steaks his father cooked were — well, he can’t really say if they were good or not. “But it was fun and he was deft on the grill.” Today? More dads than ever are trying their hand at new techniques — plank grilling and smoking are increasingly popular — and they’re stretching beyond the traditional burgers, steaks and brats. That’s part of the reason Sloan, who worked as a caterer for many years in Manhattan, cooked up this sixth cookbook: to encourage them to further expand their repertoire with some easy yet incredibly tasty recipes, all written in a language that Dad can understand (with honesty, brevity and humor). Consider his recipe for barbecued leg of lamb, which marries the smoky heat of chipotle chilies with garlic, tomatillo and cinnamon. Many guys might say, “What’s ‘butterflied’ mean?” or better yet, “What’s a leg of lamb?” Yet show ‘em how that particular piece of meat is no different from a cut of beef, he says, and the mystery is gone. (In case you’re wondering, ‘butterflied’ means to cut open and spread flat.) “In a way, it’s like a giant hamburger. You’re cooking it the same way,” says Sloan. The following recipes were all tested by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

On Father’s Day, dads can usually be found behind the grill. More dads than ever are trying their hand at new grilling techniques.
Stir-grilled coconut shrimp
Honey-glazed spareribs
Stir-frying on the grill is easier than you might think. You just have to remember to drain the excess marinade before you place the wok on the grates.
These sticky-sweet ribs are precooked, so they only require a short time on the grill. Be sure to use tongs instead of a fork to turn them or you’ll release the precious juices from the meat.
2 green onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal 11⁄ 2 C. coconut milk 1 Tbsp. finely minced jalapeno pepper 1 Tbsp. finely minced serrano pepper Grated zest and juice of 1 lime 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 ⁄2 C. unsweetened shredded coconut 1 C. black or jasmine rice, cooked Special equipment: 12-inch metal grill wok or basket with perforations Prepare marinade by whisking together green onions, coconut milk, jalapeno, serrano, lime zest and lime juice. Rinse shrimp under cold running water and pat dry. Place shrimp in a large sealable plastic bag and pour in 3/4 of the marinade. Seal, toss to coat and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours, tossing occasionally. Cover and refrigerate the remaining marinade until ready to use. Meanwhile, prepare a medium-hot fire in your grill. Place grill wok over the kitchen sink and pour in shrimp mixture, draining the marinade. Sprinkle shrimp with coconut. Set wok on baking sheet and carry out to grill. Place wok on grill. Grill, tossing with long-handled wooden spatulas every 3 to 4 minutes, for 12 to 15 minutes, or until shrimp are pink and opaque. Toss rice with the reserved marinade and serve with the shrimp. Serves 8 as an appetizer or 2 to 3 as an entree. — “300 Big & Bold Barbecue & Grilling Recipes” by Karen Adler and Judith Fertig

⁄ 2 C. white wine ⁄ 2 C. soy sauce
1 bunch scallions, green parts only, finely chopped 3 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh ginger 8 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped 6 Tbsp. brown sugar 1 Tbsp. Chinese five-spice powder Pinch ground cayenne pepper 3 to 4 pounds spareribs (about 2 slabs) cut into individual ribs Honey glaze (see following recipe) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the wine, soy sauce, scallions, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, five-spice powder and cayenne. Place the ribs in the bowl with the wine mixture, tossing them gently so they are all coated evenly. Transfer the ribs and liquid to a baking pan, cover with foil and bake in the center of oven for 1 hour. Let ribs cool, then transfer them to a plastic container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. To finish ribs on the grill, prepare enough coals for a medium-hot charcoal fire, or preheat gas grill on medium-high for 10 minutes with the lid closed. When coals are ready or gas grill is hot, grill the ribs until heated through, about 15 minutes, turning and mopping them several times with the Honey Glaze so they are nicely coated. Serve immediately with a lot of napkins. Serves 4. — “Dad’s Awesome Grilling Book” by Bob Sloan

Profile: Meet longtime Farmers Market vendor Duard Cress BY SUE DAVIS
For the Salisbury Post
Cress Farm has been part of the Salisbury-Rowan Farmers Market since its beginning. When I asked Duard what keeps bringing him back to the market each year, he said, “People.” At 89, Duard still keeps beef cattle, grows a variety of popular local vegetables and cut-to-order lumber. His favorite crop is tomatoes. If you want to see Duard’s face light up, mention birds, fishing or baseball. Birds, like the one nesting in one of his chocolate cherry tomato plants or the hummingbirds outside his back door, make him smile. He takes time every day to enjoy the birds. He loves to saltwater fish, but does not find time to fish often. And mention South Rowan American Legion baseball, which has supported since it began, and he’ll tell you about the most recent games and the team’s standings. Duard always has a good story to tell. His
daughter, Mary, looks after customers while the story gets told.
Local corn available Local corn, green beans, hot peppers and okra are available this week. Last Saturday morning Miller Farms brought two small loads of corn; it didn’t last very long. This week corn should be available from several vendors. Cress Farms may have a few baskets of blueberries. Correll Farm has fresh local garlic. Try it in your favorite tomato sauce or as an addition to any of the varieties of summer squash available throughout the market. Wild Turkey Farms has fresh pepperoni made from their pasture-fed meats. Their sausage offerings are very tasty. If pepperoni sounds interesting, ask for a sample. The Bread Basket has a very rich and moist Oatmeal Apple Bread with a nice natural sweetness. Emma Ruth developed the recipe for us to enjoy.
She is now making fresh hamburger rolls. The idea of a freshly baked roll, holding a hamburger made with locally grown beef and a slice of local tomato is too good to pass up. T&D Beef has added chicken to their offerings. The pasture raised chickens have a lot of flavor. You can buy a whole uncut chicken or leg and breast quarters. Stop by the Farmers Market booth and learn how to make a credit card or debit card purchases at the market.

Quick tricks add up to kitchen savings If you ever have loaded up on groceries one day only to wonder where all the food went the next, you might be ripe to learn easy ways to make food go further. Today’s collection of great reader tips will do just that, while they make you smile. MARY • Precious HUNT peaches. We bought a case of peaches. After assembling six pies, we still had plenty left over, so I blanched them to remove the skins. Then I dipped them in limeade to keep them from turning brown. I froze them for later use. The combination of the lime and peach flavors is really tasty. — Zoe, e-mail
• Secret sauce. My wife can’t tolerate artificial sweeteners, but sugar dissolves slowly in iced drinks. Instead, I make her a batch of simple syrup that she can add to her
tea as needed. I heat 1 cup each of water and sugar in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves. When the solution has cooled, I put it in a squeeze bottle. — James S., e-mail
• Selective scooping. Instead of purchasing a mango cutter, I found that using my grapefruit knife works perfectly. The gentle curve of the blade hugs the seed without slicing into it, maximizing the amount of mango that actually remains on the skin. We also use the grapefruit spoon to scoop out every delicious bite! — Joni,
silks are easier to remove after they’ve been microwaved. — Wendy, e-mail
• Ground gratification. I pride myself on being a savvy shopper, and I found the best deal yet. This week, my local supermarket had boneless chuck on sale for $1.59 a pound. At the meat counter, I asked the butcher to grind two packages for me. My quality ground beef ended up costing $2 less per pound than the regular price of ground beef. Most butchers gladly will grind meat for you when it is on sale. — Dick, New Hampshire

• Corn creativity. I have a tip that saves time, electricity and heat in summertime cooking. Instead of boiling fresh corn, I stick the entire husk in the microwave to cook it. I cook four ears for four minutes. Then I flip them and cook for another four minutes. They cook in their own steam and come out perfectly. Plus, the husks and
• Simple seasoning. I make my own all-purpose seasoning with this combination of spices: 1 part salt, 1 part pepper, 1 part garlic powder. I’ve found this mixture works well with almost any food. — Margie, California
• Veggie delight. I love grilled zucchini and yellow summer squash. I wash
them and slice them without peeling them. Then I put them in a bowl with just enough olive oil to coat. I add a dash of salt and pepper and some shakes of Italian seasoning and stir. After a few minutes on the grill, they are ready to eat. I use a grill pan that has openings of squares or circles rather than horizontal slits so they don’t fall through. — Naomi L., e-mail

Largest festival of disabled artists opens in D.C. WASHINGTON (AP) — Jesse Higman’s paintbrush isn’t a brush at all. With limited mobility in his hands because of a car crash 27 years ago, this Seattle-based artist created a method all his own. To control his colors, Higman built intricate tables with weights that bend his wooden canvas. Then he carefully pours pigment and water on the surface and watches them swirl to a small hole. The paint is like light being sucked into a black hole in space, he said. Left behind is a design he calls “Bone Orchid.” “I think of it like I’m playing with nature on this tabletop,” said Higman, 42, who has been in a wheelchair since age 15. His table and the painting went on display Tuesday at the Smithsonian Institution as part of the world’s largest festival of artists with disabilities. While Higman had wanted to focus more on fine art after working for years in the music industry, the idea of joining the 2010 International VSA Festival in Washington gave him pause: Would he gain a permanent label as a disabled artist? How would he be perceived? But he decided to go with it.
“It’s a legitimate art show, which I was a little bit skeptical of at first,” Higman said. “I wondered if it was going to be to champion people with disabilities, to give them a pat on the back.” Instead, he found dozens of pieces of vibrant, interesting art. The festival, hosted by the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts at sites across the nation’s capital, runs through June 12 and features many free daily performances, films and visual arts. A juried exhibit, “Revealing Culture,” that includes Higman’s work among 130 pieces at the Smithsonian will remain on view through Aug. 29. Renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly contributed a large-scale installation. Performances will feature singer Patti LaBelle, as well as Josh Blue, who won season four of “Last Comic Standing.” Organizers brought in more than 600 artists, performers and educators from around the world, including students from every state who competed to have their work shown at Washington’s Union Station. Taylor Bernard, 8, of Richmond, Va., who has cerebral palsy, was among
the winners selected from 5,500 entries for her watercolor painting, inspired by the sunset at her grandmother’s Virginia Beach home. She was with big company Tuesday as Jean Kennedy Smith, the last living sibling of President John F. Kennedy, met the students as their artwork went on view. “We’re big believers that the arts are for everybody,” said Smith, who founded VSA (formerly Very Special Arts) in 1974. The festival was timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the Americans With Disabilities Act. The exhibits are designed to be more accessible to disabled audiences than ever before. They include touchable examples of artworks, audio descriptions and labels written with Braille, curator Stephanie Moore said. One installation, “Sight Unseen,” is the first major exhibit of the most-accomplished photographers with visual impairments.

Dear Amy: I received an announcement for a friend’s daughter’s graduation from college. There is a statement at the bottom that, unfortunately, there wouldn’t be tickets available. Included with the invite was a self-addressed, stamped envelope. I had no intention sending this young person a gift and felt that this was a blatant solicitation. What do you think? — Wondering Dear Wondering: If this graduation event is already oversubscribed and there is
no RSVP required, I can’t figure out what the self-addressed, stamped envelope is for, unless it is the blatant gift solicitation you suggest. Because that concept is too awful to contemplate, you should assume it is the result of an envelope-stuffing error. All the same, it’s a shame to waste a stamp these days. Perhaps you could write a note to the graduate, congratulating her on her achievement, pop it in the supplied envelope and set it free.

Dear Confused: Your sister kicked you out of her life. But that doesn’t mean you have to kick her out of yours. You can’t control her choices or behavior. You can only make your own choices, based on what you want. Because you love her children and want to try to stay in their lives, you should invite them to this event. Because your sister is their mother and most likely controls their transportation and social calendar, you should include her too. If she attends this event to try to stay close to your son, then good for her. This might be the beginning of a
reconciliation. Don’t worry about drama. It takes at least two people to pitch a good drama. If you decide ahead of time to be cordial, kind and focused on the celebration, your sister’s attempts at theatrics won’t find an audience.

Or should I invite my sister as well, since she still seems to want to have a relationship with my children? My son is fine with however I want to handle it, but I really can’t decide what to do.

I’d think that a 27-yearold would get a little embarrassed by having mom and dad handle all of life’s occasions on her behalf. You don’t describe your daughter’s situation, but if she’s able she should give her cousin a small gift. This doesn’t have to be monetary; a card and a favorite book, a CD or a copy of the classic movie “The Graduate” would be appropriate.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Gary Coleman’s will names a friend and former manager as executor of the late child star’s estate and specifies that he wanted to be cremated. The will was filed Tuesday in 4th District Court in Provo, where the 42-year-old Coleman died May 28 after suffering a brain hemorrhage. Coleman appointed friend Dion Mial as his executor. Coleman says in the 1999 will that he wanted to be remembered in a wake conducted by people who had no financial ties to the star of the sitcom “Diff’rent Strokes.” The will was written years
before Coleman met Shannon Price on a movie set in 2006. The couple married in 2007 and divorced in 2008. A representative says Price believes she has a claim to the estate and planned to meet with her lawyer Tuesday. Although the couple was divorced, they still lived together in Santaquin, about 55 miles south of Salt Lake City. It was Price — who was named in an advanced health care directive — who ordered that Coleman be taken off of life support. Price referred to Coleman as her husband when she called 911, saying Coleman
had fallen and was bleeding severely from the back of his head. Coleman was still conscious when he was taken to a hospital in Provo, but slipped into unconsciousness the next day and was placed on life support for a day. Coleman starred for eight seasons on the sitcom “Diff’rent Strokes,” starting in 1978. The tiny 10-year-old’s “Whachu talkin’ ’bout?” became a catch phrase in the show about two AfricanAmerican brothers adopted by a wealthy white man. He played Arnold Jackson, the younger of the two brothers.

Officials: Fishermen caught mustard gas off N.Y. BOSTON (AP) — State and federal officials worked Tuesday to decontaminate a clam boat anchored in isolation off Massachusetts after it dredged up old munitions containing mustard gas, severely sickening a crewman. The Coast Guard was trying to locate the two military shells, which the crew tossed overboard in about 60 feet of water about 45 miles south of Long Island, said Coast Guard Petty Officer James Rhodes. He acknowledged finding the shells will be difficult. The military used the ocean as a dumping ground for munitions from after World War II through 1970. While the tons of old chemical weapons in offshore waters present a danger to fishermen, experts don’t believe they are a possible source of weapons for terrorists. The Atlantic City, N.J.based vessel was fishing Sunday in a charted munitions dumping zone, but the designation is just a warning and carries no fishing restrictions, Rhodes said. The two shells — about a foot long and three inches in diameter — came aboard in a haul of clams. The Coast Guard believes one of the shells cracked or otherwise leaked its contents. On Tuesday, a National Guard team boarded the vessel, the ESS Pursuit, to test for contamination, while the Coast Guard worked to secure the ship in waters off New Bedford so that it can be moored and decontaminated. The captain and first mate have declined to leave the
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The ESS Pursuit is tied up about a half-mile off Fort Taber to undergo inspection from the Coast Guard in New Bedford, Mass. The U.S. Coast Guard says a Massachusetts-based fishing boat dredging for clams off New York pulled up 10 canisters, including one that broke open and caused two crew members to experience blistering and difficulty breathing. 145-foot dragger, fearing it could run aground, the Coast Guard said. The boat had returned to New Bedford early Monday after one of its six crewmen, Konstantin Burndshov, reported blistering and shortness of breath. Hours later, another crewman was brought ashore after he reported feeling lightheaded. He was examined and released. Two other crewmen left the boat late Monday, with one reporting nose and eye irritation. Burndshov had painful
blisters about three-quarters of an inch high on an arm and a leg, said Dr. Edward Boyer, a toxicologist who is treating the man at UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester. Boyer suspected exposure to mustard gas, used most frequently during World War I, given Burndshov’s telltale symptoms: blistering and the onset of his symptoms about 24 hours after exposure. On Monday night, blood and urine tests confirmed the diagnosis. Boyer said even though Burndshov was wearing protective clothing, in-
cluding oil skins and elbowlength gloves, the mustard gas still penetrated to his skin. “It literally pulls the top of the skin off the layer underneath it,” Boyer said. The doctor said Burndshov was “handling it very well,” and Burndshov was listed in good condition at UMass Memorial. The Defense Department began using the ocean as a dumping ground for chemical and conventional munitions after World War II. The military says it stopped in
1970, and two years later Congress banned waste disposal in oceans, including chemical weapons. Officials say it’s impossible to know exactly how much and what type of weapons have been dumped in the ocean because of incomplete records. A 2001 Army report found 74 past instances of ocean disposal — 32 off U.S. shores and 42 off foreign coasts. For example, in 1967 the Army dumped 4,577 one-ton containers of a mustard agent and 7,380 sarin rockets off the New Jersey shore, according to Army records. Only some of the ocean dumps were mapped, and chemical munitions have been found in areas they weren’t supposed to have been dumped, such as just a few miles off Hawaii, said Craig Williams of the Chemical Weapons Working Group, a Kentucky-based organization. In 1976, a fisherman in Hawaii was burned after bringing up a mortar round filled with mustard gas. A mustard gas-filled artillery shell was found in Delaware in 2004 after it was dredged up by a clam boat off New Jersey and remained intact after being sent through a crusher that was making clamshell driveway fill. Three bomb disposal experts were injured dismantling it. Mustard gas, also called sulphur mustard, is usually not a gas at all, but a thick, odorless and colorless liquid that turns solid in temperatures over 58 degrees. It
looks brown when mixed with other chemicals and has a garlic-like smell. Mustard gas can be deadly if it’s used as an aerosol and inhaled, causing blisters and other problems in the lungs. More frequently, it’s used to weaken the enemy by forcing them to devote men and resources to get incapacitated victims off the battlefield and into care, said Dr. Steve Bird, an associate professor at the University of Massachusetts Medical School and a chemical weapons expert. The gas was used most frequently during World War I, but has been used sporadically since, including during the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s, he said. The chemical retains its potency over time, though some of its components break down, he said. “The stuff still works just the same, and is still as toxic as it was before,” Bird said. The tons of chemical weapons underwater are an extremely unlikely source of weapons for terrorists, Williams said, given the difficulty in locating them, uncertainty about the hazards they present in an inevitably deteriorated condition and the fact that other dangerous chemicals are more readily available. “That’s pretty farfetched,” he said. “If I’m a terrorist and I want to use chemical weapons, I can go to 16 hardware stores and get the stuff I need to make it, rather than be trolling around in the middle of the ocean.”

CHICAGO (AP) — Charitable giving fell by 3.6 percent last year as Americans continued to struggle with the recession, though some philanthropic experts feared the decrease could have been much worse given the economic downturn, according to an authoritative annual survey released Wednesday. Americans donated $303.75 billion during 2009, the second-worst year since 1956, when the Giving USA Foundation started conducting its surveys. The worst year was 1974, when giving fell an inflation-adjusted 5.5 percent. However, 2009 also was the third-straight year giving reached more than $300 billion. “We actually were anticipating a larger drop,” foundation chairwoman, Edith Falk, said, ticking off the challenges that 2009 presented for donors to make charitable donations, including high unemployment and home foreclosure rates. “Given all those factors we really were expecting people were not going to be in the position to give,” Falk said. The survey found that giving to human services, health, international affairs and environment and animal-related groups all saw increases in 2009, while donations to education, arts, culture and humanities organizations fell overall. “On the margin people were increasing their giving to help those who were less fortunate,” said Patrick Rooney, executive director of the Center of Philanthropy at Indiana University in Indianapolis. The report is based on research by from the center. The Chicago-based hunger-relief charity Feeding America raised $75 million during fiscal year 2009, exceeding its donations from the previous fiscal year by more than $15 million, the group said. Feeding America has more than 200 food banks across the country. But the survey found education organizations, like Mercy Learning Center in Bridgeport, Conn., which provides literacy programs for disadvantaged women, saw decreased giving in 2009. The

PANEL PROPOSES CHANGES
Beefing up ABC controls Obama’s education promise T
he state’s loose-knit system of Alcohol Beverage Control boards is a step closer to coming under new, needed controls — both to pull some wayward local systems in line and to protect the integrity of the state’s system as a whole. The House’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Committee on Tuesday gave the nod to legislation that would require local liquor boards to meet performance standards in operating their stores. The bill would also make ABC board members subject to a gift ban. If it doesn’t already, the legislation should apply the same standards to ABC system managers and their employees. A year ago, the Post reported that the manager of the Rowan-Kannapolis ABC system spent some $24,000 at restaurants and hotels from Washington, D.C., to Orlando, Fla., over a two-year period. Manager Terry Osborne had letters and receipts to back up his contention that he was on official business, advocating for stronger laws and investigating education programs. But the spending did not sit well with county officials. The local ABC Board tightened travel and spending policies and revised its own funding habits when it came to passing profits on to local government. But a few months later, the Rowan-Kannapolis issues looked like small potatoes after some other ABC boards’ practices came to light. For example, a father-son team was running the system in New Hanover County — both with six-figure salaries. And the Mecklenburg ABC board was wined and dined at a $12,700 dinner hosted by liquor distributor Diageo Americas. Obviously change is in order. Calls for privatizing the system have been rejected, as they should be. Now the challenge is to implement controls that bring about consistency and ethics without creating unnecessary burdens for local boards. If the bill can strike that balance, it could remove the cloud of doubt last year’s controversies put on the ABC system as a whole.
Team effort in Landis Here’s a tip of the ball cap to a group of
Landis residents who decided that rather than fight City Hall, they’d partner with it. Faced with cuts in the town’s Recreation Department that would have doomed some popular sports activities for children, the group of parents and others pooled their ideas and came up with a solution. The group, the South Rowan Sports League, will provide equipment and secure sponsors, as well as draw up the schedules. It will save money for the town, while saving summer fun for the kids. Citizens can’t take up the slack for bigticket budget cuts, but here’s an instance where they stepped up to the plate to preserve worthwhile recreational activities.

W
ASHINGTON -- While the nation remains preoccupied by the drama of the oil leak in the Gulf, which consumes an inordinate portion of time and attention in the media, a struggle of potentially greater consequence for most American families is taking place with far less publicity. I am referring to the scenarios being enacted in legislatures DAVID across the land BRODER as the final strokes are being placed on state budgets, and the fate of literally thousands of teachers and pupils is being decided. As noted here more than once, the arguments over taxes and borrowing that have become louder and more pointed in Washington are nothing compared with the fiscal mayhem in capitals from Sacramento to Boston. State economies have barely begun to recover from the wreckage of the Great Recession. And since taxes are mostly collected retroactively, after individual incomes are earned and spent, it will be well into 2011 or more likely 2012 before state and local budgets can be restored to their pre-recession levels — when more people are working. Meanwhile, state after state is wrestling with the dilemma posed by their schools, the largest single item in most of their budgets. They were given a year’s grace when President Obama dedicated a large slice of the 2009 fiscal rescue package of $787 billion to staving off the cuts that otherwise would have taken place in school budgets for this year.
Of all the dilemmas Obama faces, this may be the cruelest. The arguments on each side — for averting teacher layoffs and for avoiding even more ruinous debt — are entirely convincing That saved an estimated 300,000 or more teaching slots. But there is currently no second-year funding coming from Washington for another rescue mission. Liberal Democrats, led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, are trying to assemble such a package, but they have encountered resistance not only from Republicans but from moderate and conservative Democrats, well aware that the voters are becoming more and more worried about the deficits and debts this nation is incurring. Of all the dilemmas Obama faces, this may be the cruelest. The arguments on each side — for averting teacher layoffs and for avoiding even more ruinous debt — are entirely convincing. But they collide. In an ideal world, the president and his party would respond by passing a budget resolution providing an immediate rescue package for the states and committing to longer-range economies and revenue adjustments that would assure bond markets and financial circles that, with recovery, deficits will soon start to shrink. But as they talked among themselves before the Memorial Day recess, the Democ-
rats could not muster the will, or the courage, even to attempt to pass a budget resolution. Instead, they prefer to leave the hard trade-offs to the commission on deficit reduction that Obama has appointed, which will not report its recommendations until after Election Day. The irony of ironies is that while these thousands of teachers are left twisting in the wind, the states, in a rare act of courage, have committed to each other to stiffen their requirements in English and math — the most heartening step in education reform in many years. This bipartisan movement, encouraged by the administration but not led or forced by it, has won voluntary backing from the vast majority of states. That is a powerful statement from grassroots America about the willingness to improve the education of our children so they can measure up to international competition. But we cannot commit to raising standards in one breath, and turn around and issue layoff notices to thousands of teachers in the next. That would be as unconscionable as vowing to rid Afghanistan of the Taliban, while simultaneously pulling out the increment of NATO troops. As the days before the midterm reckoning dwindle, the inevitable paring of the Obama agenda will proceed at a faster pace. He will not be able to satisfy all the demands cascading on him. But when he looks at his young daughters, it should be clear to him that saving the schools is one promise he must keep. • • • David Broder’s e-mail address is davidbroder@washpost.com.
RCCC facility needs are real & urgent BY CARL M. SHORT JR. For the Salisbury Post
A
s a member of the Rowan-Cabarrus Community Board of Trustees, I appreciate and encourage public discussion about the college. However, I want to make sure members of our community understand how RCCC is publicly funded and its current facility needs. In North Carolina, community colleges receive two types of public funding — state and local county. The state, through its annual budget, allocates money to the state community college system to support academic programs, operations related to instruction, and faculty and staff salaries. These are the only expenses state funds can be used for at the 58 community colleges. Specifically, state funds cannot be used for building or campus maintenances. The state determines how much each community college receives based upon a formula that is primarily driven by the number of full-time equivalent students. The state, through its funding control, exercises a great deal of authority over each college in everything from programs offered to administrative salaries. By N.C. State statute, it’s
Currently, RCCC ranks dead last among nine community colleges in this region of the state in terms of county funding per full-time student. the responsibility of the county commission to fund the facilities needs of community colleges — new building construction, facilities maintenance and physical plant staff. As mentioned before, community colleges cannot use state funds for facilities; such funds must come from the local county. In the case of RCCC, Cabarrus County pays for the buildings and maintenance in Cabarrus County, Rowan County does the same for our facilities in Rowan County. Currently, RCCC ranks dead last among nine community colleges in this region of the state in terms of county funding per full-time student. RCCC currently receives $619 per full-time student from Rowan County. That’s about 27-percent less than the state average of $845. RCCC’s North Campus has
several immediate needs. Eight of the nine buildings on our North Campus are at least 30 years old; one building is approaching the 50-year mark. These aging buildings need extensive renovation and repair — everything from leaky roofs and crumbling sidewalks and staircases, to sorely out-of-date science labs and overcrowded technical program spaces. Additionally, in a few weeks, the college will dedicate its first new North Campus building in 30 years. Though the county partly funded its construction, there is inadequate money in the proposed 2010-11 Rowan County budget to support the upkeep of this new LEED classroom building. RCCC’s North Campus facility needs are real, and they are immediate. It’s the statemandated responsibility of Rowan County to meet the construction and maintenance needs of the North Campus. That’s why RCCC is working hard to communicate the severity of these needs. The college needs the county’s support, and it’s our responsibility to make sure the county is aware. • • • Carl M.

1. Why won’t all the students at Knox stand for our pledge? Do they not care about the hundreds of thousands of Americans who died and are still dying for their freedom? 2. Congress is starting to craft a final financial overhaul bill this week. The Senate wants to include “Requires mortgage lenders to consider whether the borrowers can repay.” Huh? Is this for real? You mean banks didn’t require folks to repay? 3. Why are atheists offended by the words “In God We Trust” and “Christmas?” Does seeing the words turn them into werewolves or something? 4. Other than the ACLU, who could possibly be offended by a prayer said before a football game for the safety of the players? Can’t the offended just plug their ears? 5. The U.S. ambassador to Israel says the president is dedicated to Israel’s security. Why not Arizona’s? Why not the entire USA? 6. Our country is falling apart, so why is Congress taking time to deal with gays and lesbians in the military? 7. Why isn’t our government sending an invoice to Mexico to pay for all the free services given to their citizens who come here illegally? 8. Ever try to find Christmas cards that say Merry Christmas? Not so easy. 9. Why do the poor keep on voting for the same political party? Doesn’t do any good; after many years of voting they're still poor. Rather than vote, they should just get an education, dress nice, speak well, get a job and give their employer 110 percent. This works 99.99 percent of the time to get out of poverty, not taking government entitlements. — Donald Schumacher Salisbury
Age discrimination I recently read about the 61-year-old man who cannot find a job because of his age. There is too much discrimination going on in the world — race discrimination and age discrimination. No one should be denied a job because of their age or the color of their skin. If a person is in good health and physically able to work, he or she should not be turned down for the reasons I mention. I would like to say to the 61-year-old man that he should keep praying and believing. God said in his word that you should pray, believing that you will receive. He knows what we need before we pray. I’m praying and believing that you will find a job real soon. God also said he would supply all our needs according to his riches in glory and he will not leave us begging for bread. — Joanne McKinney Spencer

With polls showing a sullen electorate, there was no shortage of subplots as voters in nearly a dozen states chose candidates for Congress and governors’ offices. Californians decided whether to lead the fall GOP ticket with a pair of wealthy businesswomen campaigning on a promise to cut spending, and tea party activists tested their muscle in Nevada, backing Sharron Angle in a multi-candidate race to select a Republican opponent against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in a state where unemployment was 13.7 percent in April. Nevada’s Republican governor, Jim Gibbons, faced strong opposition for renomination after a term marked by a messy public divorce. At the same time, a pair of former governors — Republican Terry Branstad in Iowa and Democrat Edmund G. Brown Jr. in California — hoped to take the first steps toward reclaiming the power they once held. In the House, one Republican incumbent and one Democrat faced what amounted to ideological purity challenges.
BP oil spill scatters uncertainty across the Gulf NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The cap over a broken BP wellhead at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico is collecting more gushing crude day by day, but that’s about the extent of the details known as authorities try to pinpoint how much oil is escaping, where it’s going and what harm it will cause. The recently installed containment cap on the stricken BP wellhead is helping to limit the leak, collecting more than 620,000 gallons of oil Monday, Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said Tuesday in Washington. Still, underwater video feeds continue to show a dark geyser. “I have never said this is going well,” said Allen, who’s monitoring the response effort for the government. “We’re throwing everything at it that we’ve got. I’ve said time and time again that nothing good happens when oil is on the water.” Authorities had earlier reported that the cap collected around 460,000 gallons Sunday and that it was capturing anywhere from a third to three-quarters of the oil spewing out after a damaged riser pipe was cut as part of the containment effort, increasing the flow as a side effect. University of Texas engineering professor Paul Bommer, a member of the Coast Guard team that’s trying to determine how much oil is still leaking, told The Associated Press it’s possible that estimates the team will generate could be a bit higher than current government estimates.
Obama assures seniors that Medicare benefit is protected WHEATON, Md. (AP) — President Barack Obama on Tuesday sought to sell the health overhaul law to skeptical seniors, launching a defense of his presidency’s biggest accomplishment as the election season gets under way and the Gulf oil spill dominates news. The questions Obama got from a crowd at a senior center in suburban Maryland, and from others listening on the phone, suggested that plenty of doubts remain even now that the rancorous health care debate has faded from the headlines. There’s only so much Obama can do to ease concerns. But with crucial midterm elections looming, the administration is deter-
mined to put the law’s benefits front and center as they come online, in hopes of winning over public opinion for the new system and generating confidence in leadership by Obama and his Democratic allies controlling Congress. Tuesday’s event was timed to coincide with the release later this week of the first batch of $250 checks to seniors who fall into Medicare’s prescription drug coverage gap, known as the “doughnut hole.” Some 4 million elderly and disabled people will get checks this year, a down payment on the law’s approach to closing the doughnut hole entirely over the next decade. The first question came from a woman in the audience: Why can’t he close the doughnut hole faster?
Police say Joran Van der Sloot confesses to killing Lima woman LIMA, Peru (AP) — Dutchman Joran van der Sloot, long the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of a U.S. teen in Aruba, has confessed to killing a young Peruvian woman in his Lima hotel room, a police spokesman said. Peru’s chief police spokesman, Col. Abel Gamarra, told The Associated Press that Van der Sloot admitted under questioning Monday that he killed 21year-old Stephany Flores on May 30. Several Peruvian media reported that Van der Sloot killed Flores in a rage after learning she had looked up information about his past on his laptop without his permission. They did not name their sources for the information. The newspaper La Republica said that he tearfully confessed, in the presence of a prosecutor and a stateappointed attorney, to grabbing Flores by the neck and hitting her because she had viewed photos and videos about the Aruba case on his computer while he was out buying coffee. Gamarra would not provide details of the confession. Nor would the chief of Peru’s criminal police, Gen. Cesar Guardia, when the AP reached him by telephone. Guardia said only police director Gen. Miguel Hidalgo could authorize the information to be divulged. Hidalgo’s cell phone rang unanswered.
Sex abuse crisis gives new momentum to Catholic dissidents ROME (AP) — The clerical sex abuse crisis is energizing Roman Catholic dissidents who want to open up the priesthood to women and ditch celibacy requirements. They marched on Rome Tuesday even as Pope Benedict XVI called on priests to converge on the Vatican to cap a yearlong celebration of the priesthood. And in a sign of the deepening crisis, the faithful in traditionally Catholic Austria are at the forefront of demands for change. In Rome, church reformers demanded changes in the male-dominated church structure they say is responsible for covering up priestly sex abuse for decades, pressing their case on the eve of a three-day rally of the world’s priests summoned by Benedict. What was meant to be a year of celebration has turned into one marred by revelations of hundreds of new cases of clerical abuse and Vatican inaction to root out pedophile priests. Representatives from a half-dozen pro-women’s ordination groups denounced Benedict’s rally, saying the Vatican shouldn’t be honoring priests amid a clerical sex abuse scandal.
Texas Panhandle pipeline blast injures at least 3 DARROUZETT, Texas (AP) — A sheriff’s official says three people are injured and others are miss-
ing after a natural gas pipeline exploded in a remote part of the Texas Panhandle. Vickie Nelson of the Lipscomb County Sheriff’s Office the blast about 4 p.m. Tuesday was near the small town of Darrouzett, a few miles from the Oklahoma border. Nelson says at least one person has been taken to a burn unit, but she didn’t immediately have other details on the injured or missing. The blast about 270 miles northeast of Lubbock is the second natural gas line explosion in Texas in as many days. A line exploded in Cleburne, south of Dallas, on Monday as utility workers were digging in the area. One worker was killed in that blast
At inmate’s request, Utah prepares firing squad SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Barring a last-minute reprieve, Ronnie Lee Gardner will be strapped into a chair, a hood will be placed over his head and a small white target will be pinned over his heart. The order will come: “Ready, aim...” The 49-year-old convicted killer will be executed by a team of five anonymous marksmen firing with a matched set of .30-caliber rifles. He is to be the third person executed by firing squad in Utah — or anywhere else in the U.S. — since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976. Utah was a long holdout in keeping the method, which it has used in 40 of its 49 executions in the last 160 years. Utah lawmakers made lethal injection the default method of execution in 2004, but inmates condemned before then can still choose the firing squad. That’s what Gardner did in April, politely telling a judge, “I would like the firing squad, please.” Neither he nor his attorneys have said why.
Mass. teacher finds 1792 document PEABODY, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts teacher cleaning up her classroom in preparation for a move has discovered a Colonial-era document buried in a pile of outdated textbooks and dusty scraps of papers. Michelle Eugenio, a fourth-grade teacher in Peabody, Mass., found the yellowed sheet of paper two weeks ago. Dated April 1792 and protected by plastic, it appears to document the payment of a debt by a Vermont man named Jonathan Bates. Peabody Historical Society President Bill Power verified the paper’s authenticity. He tells The Salem News he was thrilled with the discovery. No one knows how the paper ended up at Peabody’s Center School or how long it has been there. Bates served in the Continental Army in 1780 and died in 1808 at age 63. He’s buried in Williamstown, Vt.
NASA plans Arctic mission at sea ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — NASA is launching a mission from Alaska next month, but it won’t be into space. The agency will take to the sea June 15 from Dutch Harbor in the Aleutians on its first dedicated oceanographic field campaign. The voyage is billed as an up close look at how conditions in the Arctic are affecting ocean chemistry and ecosystems that play a critical role in global climate change. More than 40 scientists will spend five weeks on board the Coast Guard Cutter Healy, the country’s most technologically advanced polar icebreaker. The Seattle-based Healy provides more than 4,200 square feet of scientific laboratory space. Scientists will sample physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the Chukchi and Beaufort seas and sea ice.

In this courtroom sketch, Sam Adam Jr., left, attorney for former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, delivers his opening argument to the jury during Blagojevich’s federal corruption trial Tuesday in Chicago.
Attorney: Blagojevich ‘didn’t take a dime’ CHICAGO (AP) — Rod Blagojevich is an honest man who “didn’t take a dime” but had the bad judgment to trust the wrong people, the former Illinois governor’s fiery attorney said Tuesday at his corruption trial. Blagojevich will also take the stand on his own behalf, not just let a lawyer speak for him, defense attorney Sam Adam Jr. said in his opening statements. “The guy ain’t corrupt,” Adam whispered, after slamming his hand down. He said the ousted governor’s wife, Patti Blagojevich, will take the stand as well. Adam, who punctuated his opening remarks by waving his arm and pointing his fingers with his arm extended, said Blagojevich was fooled by those close to him. Now-convicted influence peddler Antoin “Tony” Rezko helped raise money for lots of political candidates, including Blagojevich, Adam said. But he told jurors that “not a single penny” of ill-gotten money went into Blagojevich’s campaign fund or his own pockets. “You have to be comatose not to figure out how to get a dollar out of $52 billion,” Adam said, referring to the state budget. “But who didn’t? Him!” he said indicating his client. Adam says Blagojevich thought Rezko knew campaign laws because he was so good at raising money. Rezko has since been convicted of skimming campaign contributions and seeking personal kickbacks from companies. Blagojevich has pleaded
not guilty to trying to sell or trade President Barack Obama’s former Senate seat. He also denies that he plotted to turn his power as governor into a moneymaking scheme for himself and insiders. If convicted, he could face a sentence of up to 415 years in prison and fines totaling $6 million. A federal prosecutor told jurors earlier that Blagojevich sought to use his power as governor to get benefits for himself and his inner circle through “a series of illegal shakedowns.” And when Obama was elected — meaning the governor could appoint his successor to the Senate — Blagojevich’s “golden ticket arrived,” prosecutor Carrie E. Hamilton said. In her opening statement, Hamilton methodically laid out what she called a pattern of lying, scheming and extortion that consumed the former governor’s time in office, and intensified as his personal financial troubles deepened. “When he was supposed to be asking, ’What about the people of Illinois,’ he was asking, ’What about me?”’ Hamilton said. She told jurors that Blagojevich sought to arrange deals in which entities that got state funding or approvals would then contribute to his campaign, that he sought to line the pockets of himself and his closest allies, and that he lied to the FBI when questioned about his fundraising activities. “In each one of these shakedowns, the message was clear .... ’Pay up or no
state action,”’ she said. The ousted governor sat listening with his head down, scribbling notes as the prosecutor spoke. In referring to federal authorities, and their might against Blagojevich, Adam told jurors the same people that were chasing al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden were chasing him. “And you know how many illegal accounts they found — none. He’s. Broke. He’s broke.” Judge James B. Zagel had given Adam — best known for his theatrical and successful defense of R&B star R. Kelly two years ago — an hour and 45 minutes for his statement. He had asked for up to two and a half hours. The former governor’s co-defendant — and brother — Robert Blagojevich, 54, a Nashville, Tenn., businessman, has pleaded not guilty to taking part in the alleged plan to sell the Senate seat and plotting to illegally squeeze a racetrack owner for a hefty contribution to the Blagojevich campaign fund. His attorney, Michael Ettinger, reminded jurors that Robert Blagojevich is a retired lieutenant colonel in the Army reserve who served in missile unit based in Germany and stayed in the reserves for 16 years. “Why am I telling you this? Because Robert Blagojevich ... is not about money,” Ettinger said, raising his voice slightly for emphasis. The jury was sworn in earlier Tuesday. Including alternates, the panel has 11 women and seven men.
General Motors pulls back on dealership cuts DETROIT (AP) — General Motors will keep open about 900 dealerships across the country that it had planned to close, a shift in corporate strategy that could preserve thousands of jobs. The automaker will wind up with about 5,000 U.S. dealers in July, up from original plans for 4,100, Mark Reuss, GM’s North America president, told The Associated Press. It had about 6,000 when it filed for bankruptcy last year. The change represents a desire by GM’s new leadership team to avoid the expense of closing dealerships, a step they say is not critical to bring the company back to profits. GM’s large dealer network “used to be one of our main, massive strengths,” Reuss told the AP during a recent test drive of the new Chevrolet Cruze. “I still think that’s true. It can be true with the right dealers.” July is the end of a federally mandated arbitration process under which dealerships that GM and Chrysler Group had targeted could appeal. Partly because of GM’s strategy change, only about a quarter of the 1,576 cases brought by GM and Chrysler dealers remain before arbitrators. “Everyone’s pretty excited,” said Bob Kapp, new car manager at Allen Chevrolet Cadillac in Monroe, Mich., which learned in April that it would be reinstated as a GM dealer and plans to hire 10 to 12 people as business picks up. “It was tough there for a while.” GM on Tuesday would not estimate how many to-
tal jobs might be saved. The National Automobile Dealers Association, a trade group, says about 50 people work at an average new-car dealership. Both GM and Chrysler announced plans to shed 2,800 dealerships as part of their reorganizations. The companies said their U.S. sales didn’t justify so many dealers — nearly 10,000 between them. By comparison, Toyota has only about 1,200 even though it’s the secondlargest automaker by U.S. sales. GM and Chrysler also argued that closing some dealers would make the remaining ones more profitable and allow them to invest in nicer facilities, advertising and training. GM’s last CEO, Fritz Henderson, convinced an Obama administration task force that GM needed to close struggling dealers. But he was ousted in November, just before Congress passed a law requiring arbitration before either automaker could cut a dealership loose. Since the arbitration hearings began in February, most cases have been settled — either because GM and Chrysler reinstated dealers or the dealers withdrew their cases, some of them to sign with other automakers, others to close for good. About 300 GM dealers and fewer than 100 Chrysler dealers targeted for closure are still awaiting a decision from arbitrators. Reuss wouldn’t elaborate on the change in GM’s strategy. “I’m concentrating on what it needs to be for the new GM,” he said. “I think
we’ve removed a lot of the anxiety and all the things that go with that.” Chrysler, too, will have more dealers than it planned when it emerged from bankruptcy, although it won’t say exactly how many. It closed about 800 last summer but has since agreed to reinstate about 10 percent of those. Chrysler has been more aggressive than GM in closing dealerships. It sued North Carolina and four other states to stop state laws that would have protected dealers. Because it closed its dealers immediately last year — instead of giving them a year’s warning, as GM did — Chrysler also faces some sticky legal cases. For example, an arbitrator recently ruled that Chrysler should reinstate a Dodge dealer in Deland, Fla., that was terminated last June. But Chrysler had already awarded Deland Dodge’s franchise agreement to another dealer across the street. Deland Dodge general manager Jeremy Kiel said it’s unclear what will happen next. In the meantime, he has had to lay off 10 employees. Still, arbitrators are siding with Chrysler more often than not. As of Tuesday, arbitrators have decided 22 cases in Chrysler’s favor and six in favor of dealers. “Business is business. There isn’t anything personal with it,” said Catherine Zimmer, owner of a Chrysler dealership in Florence, Ky., who just won her franchise back after arbitrators overruled Chrysler’s decision to cut her. She hopes to start selling new cars again by July 1.

Officials: U.S. Border agent shot teen at bridge EL PASO, Texas (AP) — A U.S. Border Patrol agent shot and killed a 15-year-old Mexican boy after a group trying to illegally enter the U.S. threw rocks at the agents at an international bridge near downtown El Paso, authorities said Tuesday. The shooting, which happened Monday evening, drew sharp criticism from Mexico, where the government said Tuesday that “the use of firearms to repel attacks with stones represents disproportionate use of force, particularly coming from authorities who have received specialized training.” According to the FBI, Border Patrol agents were responding to a group of suspected illegal immigrants being smuggled into the U.S. near the Paso Del Norte bridge, across from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico around 6:30 p.m. Monday. One suspected illegal immigrant was detained on the levy on the U.S. side, the FBI said in a statement. Another Border Patrol agent arrived on the concrete bank where the Rio Grande would be if there was water flowing, and detained a second suspect. Other suspects ran back into Mexico and began throwing rocks, the FBI said. At least one rock came from behind the agent, who was kneeling beside the suspected illegal immigrant he had prone on the ground, said FBI spokeswoman Andrea Simmons. The agent told the rock
throwers to stop and back off, but they continued. The agent fired his weapon several times, hitting one who later died, said the FBI, which is leading the investigation because it involved an assault on a federal officer. The agent was not injured, Simmons said. Border Patrol Special Operations Supervisor Ramiro Cordero said preliminary reports show that Border Patrol agents on bicycle patrol “were assaulted with rocks by an unknown number of people.” “During the assault at least one agent discharged his firearm,” he said. “The agent is currently on administrative leave. A thorough, multiagency investigation is currently on-going.” Chihuahua State officials released a statement Tuesday demanding a full investigation into the death of the boy, identified as Sergio Adrian Hernandez Huereca. The boy’s sister, Rosario Hernandez, told Associated Press Television News that her brother was playing with several friends and did not plan to cross the border. “They say that they started firing from over there and suddenly hit him in the head,” she said Monday. His mother, Maria Guadalupe Guereca, told Milenio TV in Mexico that her son had gone to visit his brother, who handles luggage at a border customs office. While there, he met up with a group of friends and
they decided to hang out by the river, she said. “That was his mistake, to have gone to the river,” she said. “That’s why they killed him.” She said he ran and hid underneath one of the bridge’s pillars upon hearing gunfire. “He was a boy, and even then they killed him,” she said. “I ask that they punish them. ... They left me without anything.” Sergio Belmonte, spokesman for the Ciudad Juarez mayor, said state justice officials have the body and are performing an autopsy before releasing the body to the family. The boy was shot once near the eye, and authorities found one 40-millimeter casing near the body on Mexican soil, said Arturo Sandoval, a spokesman for the Chihuahua Attorney General’s office. Authorities are still investigating the bullet’s trajectory, he said. Mexico’s Foreign Relations Department said it “energetically condemns” the shooting and demanded “an expeditious and transparent investigation of the facts and, if applicable, punishment of the guilty.” “Mexico is aware of the existing risks in the region, but, according to international standards, lethal force must be used only when the lives of people are in immediate danger and not as a dissuasive measure,” it said. The department said its

Mexican forensic experts examine the body of 15-year-old Sergio Adrian Hernandez Huereca under the Paso Del Norte border bridge in the city of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico on Monday. Chihuahua State officials released a statement Tuesday demanding a full investigation into the death of the boy who was allegedly shot by a U.S. Border Patrol agent after a confrontation, according to Mexican authorities. records indicated that the number of Mexicans killed or wounded by immigration authorities rose from five in 2008 to 12 in 2009 to 17 so far this year, which is not yet half over. The Rio Grande, which marks the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas, is now a broad muddy moat flanked by shallow concrete banks. T.J. Bonner, president of the union representing Bor-
der Patrol agents, said rock throwing incidents against Border Patrol agents are common and capable of causing serious injury. “It is a deadly force encounter,” Bonner said. “One that justifies the use of deadly force.” The violence in Mexico combined with assaults against Border Patrol agents in the U.S. has increased the level of apprehension agents
have about their safety, Bonner said. Less than two weeks ago, Mexican migrant Anastacio Hernandez, 32, died after a Customs and Border Protection officer shocked him with a stun gun at the San Ysidro border crossing that separates San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico. Last week the San Diego medical examiner’s office ruled that death a homicide.
In wake of blast, Massey says feds require unsafe mine ventilation miners in different states,” Harvey said. In the letter, Blankenship tells the governors of Illinois, West Virginia, Virginia and Kentucky that the system required by federal regulators is unsafe. All four are major coal-producing states. MSHA had no immediate comment. West Virginia mine safety chief Ron Wooten said there’s not enough information available to substantiate Massey’s charges. “Hopefully the conclusions of this investigation will help all parties fully understand what happened,” Wooten said through a spokeswoman. Virginia plans to review issues raised in the letter as individual
mine ventilation plans are submitted, said Mike Abbott, a spokesman for the Department of Mines Minerals and Energy. The mines in question use a longwall system — a 1,000-footlong machine somewhat akin to a deli slicer — to extract coal. The system MSHA is pushing was designed to capture methane in longwall mines working in the Pittsburgh seam in southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia, Massey said. That seam is prone to releasing relatively high volumes of methane. The company argues that the system is dangerous in seams that release lower amounts of methane because it keeps gas levels closer to the explosive range.
N.Y. teen charged in 2nd plot on his old high school Sweepstakes! similar” to Franko’s arrest in 2007 as a juvenile on charges of plotting to attack the school. That case was handled in Family Court; Franko left Connetquot High School and graduated from a special-education program where he met Saltzman, who is still a student. She is expected to be arraigned June 17 on the same felony conspiracy count. Her attorney, Cesar Galarza, said she intended to plead not guilty. “This was all his doing,” Galarza said. “He basically tried to take a 16-yearold and get her to carry out his plan, which she never intended to carry out.” The prosecutor noted that had Franko remained at the school, he would have been a graduating senior this month. “This was really his last opportunity to get all of these kids in the same place at the same time,” Kurtzrock said. Although Franko was ordered held without bail, Suffolk County Judge Stephen Braslow issued restraining orders barring the teen from contacting anyone associated with the school. “The school has been watching Christopher since prior to the first incident,” Connetquot Superintendent Alan Groveman said. “We remain concerned about the student’s anger toward students and staff.” He added that despite Franko’s incarceration, security staff, administrators and others have been provided with a photograph of the teenager as a precaution. “The most disturbing part of this is the potential danger to students and staff. It’s hard to be 100 percent perfect,” Groveman said. “To hear that students and staff have been targeted is really disturbing.” A court-appointed attor-
ney from Legal Aid, John Schick, entered the not guilty plea on behalf of Franko. He said he had only been assigned to the case on Tuesday and needed to research the allegations further. “Quite obviously there may be quite a few extenuating circumstances that could surface,” he told Suffolk County Court Judge Stephen Braslow. If convicted, Franko could be sentenced to up to 25 years in prison.

RIVERHEAD, N.Y. (AP) — A teenager plotted with another to pull off a Columbine-style attack on his former high school, authorities on New York’s Long Island said Tuesday — the second time in three years he has been accused of such a plot. Christopher Franko, who turned 18 on Tuesday, was ordered held without bail after his court-appointed attorney entered a not guilty plea to felony conspiracy. Franko and Dana Saltzman, 16, were arrested in early May on misdemeanor conspiracy, but a grand jury voted to upgrade the charges. The teens were plotting to attack Connetquot High School this Thursday with shotguns and explosives, prosecutors said. Their plan was to kill security guards outside of the school, then go inside and shoot as many students as possible, Assistant District Attorney Glenn Kurtzrock said. Once police arrived at the school, the pair planned to fire at officers before ultimately killing themselves, the prosecutor added. Kurtzrock added that Franko had diagrams of the school and they intended to go to locations “where they knew a lot of students congregated for the purpose of killing as many students as possible.” Their plot was thwarted in part when their attempts to purchase a shotgun at a local sporting goods store were rejected because neither teen was 18. Prosecutors say Franko intended to return to the store on Tuesday to make the purchase. Kurtzrock said he could not explain a motive, other than Franko had apparently been teased by classmates — a slight he never forgot. “He’s definitely a danger,” Kurtzrock said, adding that the case is “chillingly

“We can demonstrate, I think, that air flow was reduced after we implemented this plan,” Harvey said. Blankenship charges that MSHA’s system lowered air flow to the longwall face and the mined out area behind the machine at Big Branch. The system also sent air containing dust and methane removed from other parts of the mine on a circuitous route to the surface. Modern coal mines rely on ventilation to dilute methane and flush it out as quickly as possible. “The air flow under their plan met the minimum requirements,” Harvey said. “Ours would produce a lot more air to flush away methane.”

We’re willing to say that it’s something that certainly should be looked as part of the investigation and should be looked at by somebody other than MSHA,” said Massey lawyer Shane Harvey. MSHA required a Mach mine in Illinois to use the system last year and is believed to be requiring it at mines in several other states, Harvey said. Mach is appealing citations for violations stemming from MSHA’s ventilation plan. “We think it’s a safety issue that affects different states and

CHARLESTON, W.Va.

Moore, Lyerly drafted BY RONNIE GALLAGHER
rgallagher@salisburypost.com
The excitement surrounding Stephen Strasburg’s major-league debut for the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night reached Rowan County when Catawba outfielder and former West Rowan star Wade Moore was taken by the Nationals in the 19th round of the 2010 MLB draft. Moore, a third-team All-American, was the 566th pick. He had some company 15 picks later when team-
mate and former East Rowan star Craige Lyerly was chosen by the Tampa Bay Rays at No. 581. Catawba coach Jim Gantt was happy for both Rowan County greats. “There’s a lot of good athletes in the county,” Gantt said. “They love their baseball.” Moore, reached by phone on Tuesday night, said, “Obviously, I’m ecstatic.” Moore was the 2006 Rowan County Athlete of the Year and turned down football scholarships to sign with N.C. State in baseball.

He decided to transfer home for his senior season just to get on the field. He said he knew he could play at the major-league level, but added,

“Obviously, I couldn’t leave it in the hands of N.C. State.” Moore has been working out for several clubs. He said the most interest came from the Nationals, Cubs, Giants and Braves. He worked out for six teams, showing them throws from the outfield and running the 60-yard dash. “But I really felt, with the relationships I had with the area scouts, it didn’t surprise me (being drafted by the Nationals).” • Lyerly couldn’t be reached Tues-
day but Gantt gushed about the East Rowan product. Unlike Moore, Lyerly didn’t have the huge fanfare coming out of high school but Gantt realized his potential. “I remember him telling me not to worry about him — with his schoolwork or with baseball,” Gantt said. But the fanfare came. By the end of his career, Gantt said even the scouts were calling him by nickname, “Ern.”

BOSTON —
Kobe Bryant Lakers 91 s c o r e d Celtics 84 29 points a n d Derek Fisher added 16 to lead Los Angeles to a 91-84 victory over the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night and give the Lakers a 2-1 lead in the NBA finals. Bryant had 25 points after three but did not score for the first 10 minutes of the fourth quarter. That’s when Fisher took over, adding four key baskets after Boston winnowed a 17point first-half lead to one point. The Lakers regained home-court advantage they had lost when Boston took Game 2 in Los Angeles. Game 4 is Thursday night in Boston. Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum had 10 rebounds apiece for Los Angeles. Kevin Garnett, who had just six points in Boston’s victory Sunday, had 25 in Game 3. But Ray Allen, who had 32 points in Game 2, missed all 13 field goal attempts — one shy of the NBA finals futility record. The Celtics had high hopes after splitting the opening two games in Los Angeles, but the “Beat L.A.!” chants at the TD Garden couldn’t help them overcome poor shooting. The Lakers led by as many as 17 points in the first half, but Boston cut the deficit to four late in the third quarter and then made it 68-67 early in the fourth on consecutive drives by Glen “Big Baby” Davis and Rajon Rondo. With a chance to take the lead, Allen was called for an offensive foul away from the ball. Fisher drove for a layup at the other end that made it a three-point game then scored four of the Lakers’ next five baskets to give them a five-point lead with about 41⁄2 minutes left. “We just had to be poised and understand they’re going to make a run, and we did that,” Bryant said. “They made a push but they never fully got control of the game. We made big shots when we needed it.” Bryant said his teammate was “just Derek being Derek. He makes big plays all the time. He never ceases to amaze me.” Allen and Paul Pierce combined to go 1 for 13 from the field as Boston went nearly 6 minutes without a field goal in the first half. Pierce finished with 15 points, including 3 for 4 from 3-point range, but Allen never snapped out of it.

Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg is greeted by his teammates as he steps into the dugout in the seventh inning.
Strasburg doesn’t disappoint BY JOSEPH WHITE Associated Press

Washington’s Stephen Strasburg struck out 14.
WASHINGTON — Stephen Strasburg Nationals 5 struck out 14 Pirates 2 batters in his first game, took three shaving cream pies to the face, donned a silver Elvis wig — then compared it all to getting married. What could he possibly do for an encore? Baseball’s newest wunderkind went beyond the hype — and anyone’s reasonable expectations — with an electric and unprecedented major league debut Tuesday night in the Washington Nationals’ 5-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. “I’ve been catching a lot of guys,” said likely Hall of Famer Ivan Rodriguez, patting Strasburg
on the left shoulder, “but this kid is unbelievable.” With a standing-room-only crowd roaring at every chance, last year’s No. 1 overall draft pick put on a dazzling display of power pitching. His fastballs reached 100 mph — and still had movement when they crossed the plate — and his nasty curves were nearly impossible to hit. The 21-year-old right-hander allowed four hits, two earned runs and didn’t walk a batter, piling up the most strikeouts in a big league debut since J.R. Richard fanned 15 for Houston in 1971. He was pulled for a pinch hitter after seven innings and took a quick curtain call. After the final out, Strasburg was pelted with a shaving cream pie to the face courtesy of teammate John Lannan. The rookie was quickly handed a towel, but
after wiping his face was blindsided by two more pies. Then someone crowned him with the goofy, oversized wig that’s named after Elvis Presley — a clubhouse ritual for whoever teammates choose as the player of the game. “It’s hard to talk with so much shaving cream on my head,” Strasburg said. “I just wanted to go out there and say I’ve had my first outing in the big leagues. I’ve had a great time.” Strasburg always pitches in a hurry — the game took only 2 hours, 19 minutes — and plate umpire Tom Hallion even suggested to him that he slow down his warmups because the breaks between innings are longer in the majors. “The only thing I really remember is the first pitch — ball

Best start in South history BY MIKE LONDON
mlondon@salisburypost.com
ALBEMARLE — South Rowan’s LeS. Rowan 20 gion team is Stanly 3 9-1 — the best start in the program’s 15-year history. South is also 5-0 where it counts — in the Southern Division of Area III — after destroying Stanly 20-3 on the road on Tuesday night. South has scored 52 runs
and launched 10 homers in its last three games, and Carson Cougars powered three longballs to bury Stanly (6-4, 4-4). Gunnar Hogan and Julio Zubillaga ripped three-run shots. Joseph Basinger added a tape-measure, two-run bomb that might still be going. Catcher Tyler Freeze also had a big night. He doubled twice, scored three times and picked a runner off base. Coach Michael Lowman was attending to a family matter and missed South’s latest
offensive explosion, but Kenny Simpson, who took the reins, didn’t have to push many buttons or make any magical strategic moves. “When the kids are playing like this, you just let them go play,” Simpson said. “I felt for Stanly. I know they were way low on pitching and we were hitting the ball.” South was also pitching it. Weston Smith, a rising junior at Northwest Cabarrus, was phenomenal considering he dealt with serious down
time while his teammates were batting. South had a marathon, eight-run second and a seven-run sixth, so Smith basically had to warm up three different times. “It was kinda tough staying loose with all those long innings, but you never mind the run support,” Smith said. “And I liked Coach Goody’s (Brian Goodnight) pitch selection.” Smith, who has an MLB frame already, worked all seven innings. He struck out eight and scattered three hits.
HOGAN
ZUBILLAGA
Smith was dominant the last three innings, fanning seven of the last 11 he faced. Stanly’s Jordan Hildreth hit a two-run homer to left that curved around the foul pole. South fans barked, but Smith said the homer was legit.

UCLA wins softball title Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — Andrea Harrison hit a grand slam, Megan Langenfeld homered for the third time in two games and UCLA put on a record-setting offensive show to beat Arizona 15-9 Tuesday night and win its 11th Women’s College World Series title. Julie Burney and Samantha Camuso also homered for the Bruins (50-11) as a matchup of college softball’s two most successful programs turned into a home run derby. Stacie Chambers went deep twice and Lini Koria hit a solo shot for Arizona (52-14) as the teams combined to set a World Series record with seven long balls in the game. Ten of the 29 previous World Series didn’t have that many home runs during the entire event. But in this new offensive era, the championship trophy is headed back to a familiar place. It’s the first title for UCLA since the program won back-to-back trophies in 2003-04, and the first won by fourth-year coach Kelly Inouye-Perez. She won three NCAA championships as a catcher for the Bruins between 1989 and 1992. A 12th title for the Bruins, won in 1995, was later vacated due to NCAA rules infractions. The 24 runs scored in the game were five more than in any previous World Series game. Langenfeld was voted the event’s Most Outstanding Player after going 12 for 17.

Panthers’ LaFell prepared to block Associated Press
The NFL notebook ... CHARLOTTE — Rookie Brandon LaFell gets an earful each time he’s around new Panthers teammate Jonathan Stewart. In Carolina, blocking is not optional for a receiver. So if LaFell hopes to replace Muhsin Muhammad as a starter, he’ll have to open holes downfield for Stewart and DeAngelo Williams, the first teammates since the 1970 merger to each rush for over 1,100 yards. While the former LSU star’s head is spinning in optional workouts this month as he scrambles to learn the NFL, LaFell is confident he can be the big target, strongblocking receiver opposite Steve Smith after Carolina decided not to re-sign Muhammad. The 23-year-old LaFell also has the added motivation of trying to prove a lot of teams wrong for falling into the third round of the draft. MORE PANTHERS CHARLOTTE — Carolina Panthers restricted free agent linebacker Thomas Davis and cornerback Richard Marshall have signed their one-year tenders. Tuesday’s signings come hours after Davis appeared to tweak his surgically repaired right knee. The starting linebacker had been participating in the optional workouts this month under an injury waiver. Davis will make $3.268 million this season. Marshall, a starting cornerback, will make $1.759 million. Both players would have
been unrestricted free agents if NFL owners hadn’t decide to end the collective bargaining agreement after this season. That put new rules into place that made Davis and Marshall restricted free agent with few options. The Panthers made no attempt to sign either player to a long-term deal. REVIS RETURNS NEW YORK — All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis returned to practice with the New York Jets on Tuesday, despite not having a new contract in place. Revis was back for the voluntary practice session in a good-faith gesture after sitting out last Thursday amid a contract dispute. He has only missed that practice this offseason, and was not fined because it was voluntary. HENRY UPDATE CHARLOTTE — A toxicology report found no alcohol in Chris Henry’s system after the Cincinnati Bengals receiver died in December from a fractured skull and other head injuries in what’s been ruled an accident. The full autopsy and toxicology reports were released by the Mecklenburg County medical examiner’s office on Tuesday, nearly six months after Henry died when he came out of the back of a pickup truck driven by his fiancee. No traces of alcohol were found. The toxicology report didn’t include any other tests for drugs. Witnesses told police Henry jumped into the back of the moving vehicle driven by Loleini Tonga in the driveway of her family

It remains unclear if Henry jumped or fell out of the truck while it was traveling about 19 mph on a windy road about a mile from the home. Henry was declared brain dead 18 hours later. He was 26. Tonga, who claimed in an interview with ESPN that Henry jumped from the truck, was not charged. SAINTS VISIT FORT JACKSON, La. — A Who Dat Nation weary from the worst-ever U.S. oil
spill set aside its misery for a few hours Tuesday to schmooze with the Super Bowl-champion New Orleans Saints. Along the main highway to Fort Jackson in Plaquemines Parish, coach Sean Payton, team owner Tom Benson and some players passed “Who Dat?” banners that sprouted where anti-BP signs had stood. A crowd packed the fort, which has been a staging area for cleaning birds rescued from the oil flowing from BP’s well in the Gulf of Mexico.
DURHAM — A retired Duke University financial executive has surpassed Mike Krzyzewski as the highest-paid person by the school — for one year, anyway. The Associated Press on Tuesday obtained Duke’s most recent IRS documents for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2009. Krzyzewski received nearly $4.2 million in total compensation in 2008-09 with a base salary of nearly $2 million and about $1.8 million in bonuses and incentives, according to the IRS Form 990 documents filed last month. Nearly $420,000 was listed as deferred compensation. The Hall of Fame coach annually ranks as the highest-paid employee at the school, which has a longstanding policy of not discussing contracts or salaries. The documents also show football coach David Cutcliffe was paid nearly $1.6 million.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Tiger Woods will return Down Under to defend his title at the Australian Masters. Woods announced on his website Tuesday that he will play the Australian Masters on Nov. 11-14. He won the event last year at Kingston Heath for his 82nd title worldwide. It also gave him a victory on every continent in which golf is played.
NHL
PHILADELPHIA — In a city where the Stanley Cup drought is 49 years and ticking, the temptation is to say it’s OK to win the silver trophy at home. Win it in front of the rowdy home fans. Win it with “Chelsea Dagger” roaring through the stadium in an endless loop. Win it and keep partying right into the parade down past City Hall. It’s tempting, for sure. It’s just not necessarily ideal. The Chicago Blackhawks lead the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 in the Stanley Cup finals. The Blackhawks can win their first championship since the days of Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita in 1961 in Game 6 on Wednesday.

CHARLOTTE — Joey Logano made it clear on pit road at Pocono that he’s sick and tired of being pushed around. It’s about time. Logano, the scrawny new kid on the playground, finally stood up to one of the neighborhood bullies by essentially telling Kevin Harvick he was done playing nice. If the confrontation following Sunday’s race wasn’t enough to make his point, Logano followed up with three pointed shots at the veteran driver in a live television interview. One of them was about Harvick’s wife! Who knew the kid had it in him? After all, it was long overdue display of backbone for Logano, who likely earned a fair share of respect for finally standing up for himself after a season-and-a-half of being polite. Problem is, his newfound moxie has been somewhat overshadowed by the presence of Daddy. Ah, yes, Tom Logano. Back in the center of the storm. The elder Logano learned a hard lesson last year, when NASCAR pulled his credential for entering pit road to confront Greg Biffle following the Nationwide Series race at California. He was angry at how Biffle had raced his son, who only two weeks earlier had rolled his car seven times in a spectacular accident at Dover. Young Joey was clearly

Big inning lifts Tigers over White Sox Associated Press
The American League roundup ... CHICAGO — Far from perfect this time, Armando Galarraga was long gone when Brennan Boesch and Carlos Guillen hit back-to-back homers in a six-run seventh inning to lift the Detroit Tigers to a 7-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night. The centerpiece of a national story when a blown call against Cleveland last week spoiled a perfect game, Galarraga had a relatively uneventful night. He was cheered on his way to the mound and allowed two runs and seven hits in five innings. Rays 9, Blue Jays 0 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Strug-

Wakefield (2-4) gave up four hits and one earned run in 7 1-3 innings to reach 2,777 innings with Boston, one more than Roger Clemens worked in a

Lewis (5-4) had lost four of his previous five decisions before getting back on track against the Mariners. Elvis Andrus went 3 for 5 with two RBIs for the Rangers, who ended a two-game skid. Twins 7, Royals 3 MINNEAPOLIS — Zack Greinke was hit hard again, and Kansas City never recovered from its first-inning deficit in a loss to Kevin Slowey and Minnesota. Slowey (7-3) allowed three hits.
Cavs confirm contract offer to Izzo Associated Press
The NBA notebook ... CLEVELAND — LeBron James can pick his next team. If it’s the Cleveland Cavaliers, he won’t be selecting their coach. That was the powerful message from Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, who refused to comment Tuesday on reports he has offered a massive contract to Michigan State’s Tom Izzo and adamantly denied that James, the twotime MVP now on free agency’s doorstep, has been running Cleveland’s franchise.
Gilbert added that James will not be consulted during the team’s coaching search. HILL COMING BACK PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns say veteran forward Grant Hill has exercised the one-year player option on his contract and will return to the team next season. The 16-year veteran and seven-time All-Star averaged 11.3 points and 5.5 rebounds last season. Hill has played the last four seasons in Phoenix, averaging 12.1 pointswhile playing 233 of a possible 246 regularseason games. Last season, he became
shaken following that wreck, and his post-accident demeanor raised questions about his mettle. It didn’t help that TV cameras caught Tom Logano making a panicked sprint to the care center, painting a picture of a scared little boy in need of his father. It was probably an unfair characterization, but bigtime pro sports can be cutthroat and Joey Logano endured a decent dose of whispering about the back-toback incidents and the role of his father, the overzealous protector. Yet there he was again on Sunday at Pocono, where he was the second to reach Joey’s car after he was spun by Harvick in the closing laps. The first was a Joe Gibbs Racing crewman, who made an honest effort to keep the driver from wading into the sea of yellow-clad team members who had formed a barrier around Harvick. What happened next is up for interpretation, but multiple replays seemed to show the father encouraging his son to confront Harvick with both a gesture and what appeared to be a shout of “Go Ahead!” Joey Logano never got that close to Harvick, but he was red-faced and shouting, behavior never before seen in NASCAR from the polite 20-year-old. At some point in all the commotion, Tom Logano apparently shoved a television reporter out of his way, an action that earned the father his own trip to the NASCAR hauler.

the 18th active player to score 15,000 points. • Amare Stoudemire says he will opt out of the final year of his contract if he doesn’t re-sign with the Phoenix Suns before then. Stoudemire, speaking at his basketball camp Tuesday, said he deserves a maximum contract and would like it to be with Phoenix, where he has played since he was drafted out of high school in 2002. The All-Star power forward said there was “no chance” he would exercise the final year of his contract with the Suns, which would pay him $17 million.

According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), most of the more than 1 million cases of nonmelanoma skin cancer diagnosed each year in the United States alone are considered to be sun-related. These cancers rarely spread to other parts of the body, and typically develop on sun-exposed areas of the body, such as the face, neck, lips, ears, etc. The most common of all cancers, skin cancer accounts for nearly half of all cancers in the United States. Fortunately, for non-melanoma cancers a cure is highly likely if de-
tected and treated early. Even melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer, boasts a 5-year localized survival rate of 99 percent, meaning 99 percent of persons diagnosed are still alive 5 years after their initial diagnosis. Though that is encouraging, ACS statistics note that more than 10,000 people die annually from skin cancer, the vast majority of which are persons diagnosed with melanoma, emphasizing the importance of cancer screenings as well taking proper precautions when going out in the sun.

Are water softeners bad for health? Dear Dr. Gott: I reside in an independent-living complex. When it was built in 2001, they put soft water throughout our water system on both the hot and cold faucets. Could this cause problems such as high blood pressure, neuropathy, dementia and more? Many of the residents DR. PETER have had to take pills for GOTT high blood pressure and were never on them before. Some of these people are over 70 years old. Many of our residents are in the early stages of dementia and Alzheimer’s. It is scary knowing that possibly the salt water in our water system could be causing these problems. A faucet in the basement of our building isn’t connected to the system, so residents go there for a supply. The complex owner says he checked with a doctor who says the amount of salt in the
water would not be harmful to us. Do we have a chance of having a real problem here? Should the water be changed? Dear reader: Hard water causes a buildup of chemicals in household pipes, stains sinks, discolors laundry, and dries out skin following bathing. That said, the National Research Council has gone on record stating that drinking hard water does not pose health risks. While I don’t know what the condition of the water is in your area, obviously the owner of your complex determined that installing a water-softener system was the best way to go financially in the long run. The amount of sodium added to any system depends on the hardness of the water, but treated water doesn’t appear to add any significant amount of salt to the diet. Generally speaking, an 8-ounce glass of treated water contains less than 13 milligrams of sodium. The average adult without a history of hypertension requires between 1,500 and 2,400 milligrams of sodium each day. With a history of
high blood pressure, the recommended amount holds at 1,500 milligrams. A more likely cause of excessive sodium comes from a person’s diet. One teaspoon of salt contains 230 milligrams of sodium. Adding to that many processed foods, cold cuts, canned goods and soups brings the potential for excessive salt consumption far above the recommended daily allowance. There is an association between Alzheimer’s dementia and aluminum. Perhaps this is what some of your residents refer to. I cannot find any confirming reports of memory loss, Alzheimer’s or neuropathy caused by water-softening systems. A more likely consideration is that the residents of your establishment are aging and are developing diseases and disorders common to an advanced age. That said, it appears that by making a trip to the basement for drinking water, residents who fear potential side effects can bypass the problem. I would also recommend that residents request a sodium test be added to their
next routine lab work when they visit their physicians. Providing they eat a healthful diet and do not cook with or add salt to their meals, this will be one surefire way to resolve one of the issues. Because of the concerns you raise, I am sending you copies of my Health Reports “Hypertension” and “Alzheimer’s Disease.” Other readers who would like copies should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order for each report to Newsletter, P.O.

Widow of Marvin Isley calls him ‘great family man’
Sheila Isley said Tuesday that she met her husband on a plane 20 years ago and she immediately told her co-workers she would marry him. She was right. Marvin Isley stopped performing in 1996 after his diabetes caused him to have a stroke. He lost the use of his left hand and doctors had to amputate his legs. He joined his brothers’ band in 1973 after the band had scored hits like 1959’s “Shout.

CHICAGO (AP) — The widow of Isley Brothers’ bassist Marvin Isley says her husband was a “great family man” who always acted like she had the more high-profile job as a United Airlines flight attendant. Marvin Isley died Sunday of diabetes at an inpatient hospice in Chicago at age 56.

Scramble the signal with second-lowest BY PHILLIP ALDER
United Feature Syndicate
Good defenders signal to each other. Declarer must try to scramble those signals. Today’s deal is an example. Look at only the spade suit. South is in three notrump. West leads the spade ace, and East follows with the six. What should South play? The auction was straightforward, South “knowing” that his partner would cover his diamond weakness, and North happily bidding game. South starts with eight top tricks: three hearts and five clubs. He can get two extra winners in diamonds, but there is a risk that if West shifts at trick two, East may get in with the diamond ace and return a spade. How can South encourage West to continue spades? By playing his eight and hiding the two. Now West might believe that his partner began with Q-6-2 of spades. If West does play a second spade, whether it is the king or a low one, South gets his ninth trick with the spade queen. Yes, perhaps West will decide that East would have played the queen at trick one if he had it, but that would not be best if West had led from A-K-x-x or A-K-J-x. At least, though, South has given West something to think about. If instead South plays the two at trick one, West knows East has played his lowest spade. And with doubleton queen-six, East would have played the queen, hoping for
the best. The rule is: Play like the third hand. If you want the leader to continue his suit, drop an unnecessarily high card (an encouraging signal). If you prefer the leader to shift at trick two, play your lowest card (a discouraging signal).

Nationals fans packed the stands to cheer on Stephen Strasburg.
STRASBURG FROM 1B
inside — everything else is just such a blur,” Strasburg said. “At one point I lost track of how many innings I threw. I was like, ’You know what? I’m just going to go out there and have fun.’ It’s amazing. “It’s kind of like when you get married and everything, you kind of go into it wanting to remember everything — and once it’s done, you can’t remember a single thing.” Strasburg should know. He was married in January. His family, gathered in the corner of the news conference room, joined in the laughter. When he left the podium, he gave hugs to all of them. Strasburg got better as the game progressed, and the ballpark was near delirium when he struck out the side on 13 pitches in his final inning. He fanned the last seven batters he faced, and all nine Pirates in the starting lineup struck out at least once. “It’s never easy to hit 97 to 100 (mph),” said Andy LaRoche, Strasburg’s final strikeout victim, “especially when he’s got a curveball like that. It’s the combination of the two. You can say, ’All right, here comes 100 right down the middle,’ or ’Here comes the curveball,’ and it’s still tough to hit.” Karl Spooner also struck out 15 in his debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1954. He and Richard are the only pitchers with more strikeouts than Strasburg in a major league debut since 1920 — and Spooner and Richard both had three walks. Strasburg also tied Max Scherzer of the Detroit Tigers for most strikeouts in a game in the majors this season. Scherzer had 14 on May 30 against Oakland. Strasburg left with a 4-2 lead. When it was announced that he had set a team
start working with him. “He has tremendous power,” Gantt said. “It’s going to be scary if he utilizes that power. Pitchers didn’t give him anything to hit.” Gantt said Tampa Bay is a good fit for Lyerly. “He fits their mold,” he said. “He can run.” And then, Gantt gave Lyerly the best compliment of all. “He hasn’t played his best baseball yet.” • Moore led Catawba in most offensive categories. He finished his senior year with a .410 average to go with 16 home runs, 59 runs batted in and 20 doubles. He scored 77 runs. “He came back a better player,”
record for strikeouts since the franchise’s move to Washington in 2005, the crowd cheered again — and Strasburg emerged to the top step of the dugout and tipped his cap. “It’s something I’ve never seen before,” Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman said. “Usually you see it in basketball, in the NBA, stuff like that. Never in baseball. ... It’s his game and a lot of people came out to watch him. He didn’t really let them down.” The day was nicknamed “Strasmus” — and it was the biggest baseball event in the nation’s capital since the sport returned after a 33-year absence. To go real deep into history, one could argue that Strasburg had the most anticipated Washington rookie pitching debut since Walter Johnson at the long-forgotten American League Park on Aug. 2, 1907. Strasburg threw 94 pitches — roughly the limit imposed by management before the game — and 65 were strikes. He made one mistake, a 90 mph changeup golfed by Delwyn Young into the first row in right field for a two-run homer in the fourth inning. The ball would have made a great souvenir, but a fan threw it back onto the field. Cameras flashed as Strasburg (1-0) threw his first pitch at 7:06 p.m. — at 97 mph and well inside to leadoff hitter Andrew McCutchen. Fans booed when Hallion called it a ball. Rodriguez then handed the ball to the umpire and it was removed from play for posterity. “I wanted to call a breaking ball,” Rodriguez said. “He said no.” Strasburg was promoted after dominating the minors, going 7-2 with a 1.30 ERA, 65 strikeouts and only 13 walks in 11 starts in Double-A and Triple-A. His debut came nearly a year to the day after he was drafted No. 1 overall, and one day after the Nationals — who have lost 100 games in consecutive seasons.
Gantt said. “He gave us everything we expected. He helped us get to the regionals and that was the best thing. He helped the team.” Moore’s run total was the fourth best total in a season at Catawba. His .790 slugging percentage has him ranked seventh in school history. Moore had 52 walks and a .542 onbase percentage, both of which are second all-time for a season. Moore watched the draft with his family and once the 19th round came around, the screen on his TV went blank. His dad, Dick, got a call from a friend and just as he was telling him his son hadn’t been drafted, Moore’s name came across.
“It looked so beautiful,” Moore said. “I was trying to act cool and calm because I didn’t want my family to be disappointed. But I was getting antsy.” Moore said his phone hasn’t stopped ringing or his texts haven’t stopped coming. He said three texts came in with the news before he even saw his name. Moore was asked if he would celebrate. “I’m just going to sit back with the family,” he said. Moore’s agent Ty York is also the agent for former South Rowan star and current Kannapolis Intimidator Daniel Wagner. Moore thinks he’ll be sent to a short-season team in Vermont.
“It was hooking, but it was still fair,” he said. “I left that pitch up, and I guess when you leave pitches up in Legion ball, that’s what happens.” South’s biggest concern was the weather. It led 12-4 at Stanly recently when the game was rained out before it was official. That’s why South had to return to Montgomery Park for a makeup on Tuesday. South again brought its bats, and this time Mother Nature cooperated. A sacrifice fly by Patrick Bearden and a two-out single by Basinger gave South a 2-0 lead in the first. Catawba signees Blake Hous- BASINGER ton and Zubillaga, who combined to score seven runs, set the table. Two-run singles by Maverick Miles and Tripp Cross keyed South’s eight-run second that stretched the lead to 10-0. H o g a n ’ s MILES three-run homer in the third made it 131. Hogan started slowly this summer, but he’s figured it out now. He’s homered in each of his last two games, while driving in seven. “Just better pitch selection, getting better pitches to hit,” Hogan said. “I haven’t been swinging at the junk.” Believe it or not, Stanly’s No. 9 hitter Matt Huneycutt didn’t get to plate for the first time until the bottom of the third. By then, the game was 82 minutes old. Basinger’s booming homer to left in the sixth prompted P.A. man Charles Curcio to announce that it was time to draw a half-andhalf ticket.

More than 1,300 students to graduate from Rowan-Salisbury Schools BY KATHY CHAFFIN
kchaffin@salisburypost.com
An estimated 1,377 seniors are expected to graduate from the Rowan-Salisbury Schools in commencement exercises Friday. Though final numbers will not be available until all exams are graded and factored into students’ grades, the estimated number by high school are as follows: Carson, 256; East Rowan, 279; Henderson Independent, 5; North Rowan, 128; Salisbury, 181; South Rowan, 237; and West Rowan, 291.
In the Kannapolis City Schools, 269 students are expected to graduate from A.L. Brown High School. The graduation ceremony will be held at 6:30 p.m. Friday in the Kannapolis Performing Arts Center. Four Rowan-Salisbury schools plan to hold graduation ceremonies in Keppel Auditorium at Catawba College. The first will be South Rowan at 9 a.m. followed by East at noon, North at 4 p.m. and Salisbury at 8 pm. West Rowan will hold its graduation at 8 a.m. Friday in the football stadium, Hender-
son Independent at 11 a.m. in the auditorium and Carson at 2 p.m. in the gym. Superintendent Dr. Judy Grissom says it doesn’t matter how many years she has been involved in education, this time of year is always bittersweet. “To stand on stage and shake the hands of our graduating seniors culminates what we are all about and why we do what we do each day,” she says. “To see their smiles and knowing the adventures that await these young men and women is so exciting, and I always look forward to hear-
ing from them as the years go by.” Grissom says two of the high schools mark a first with this year’s graduating classes. “Jesse Carson High School’s senior graduates are the inaugural class that opened the brand new high school as the first freshman class in the fall of 2006,” she says. “They are the first class to complete four years at Carson. These years have flown by. “North Rowan High School will be graduating the first class of students that has participated in the iPod touch
program. Technology is changing the way students learn, and this class illustrates how our district continues to provide schools that are globally competitive. “And this is the first year that students were required to complete a graduation project, and they all did an excellent job. I am very proud of all our graduates and I wish for them the very best in their future endeavors.” Commencement speakers and junior marshals by school are listed as follows: A.L. Brown High School Speakers will be the valedic-
torian, whose name had not been announced Tuesday, and Principal Kevin Garay. Junior marshals, who earned the distinction based on their cumulative weighted grade-point averages, are Jackson Boone, chief marshal; MacKenzie Church; Austin Vernon; Kathryn Auten; Elizabeth Forrest; Austin Mincey; Vanessa Rojas; Martel Campbell; Houston Skipper; Taylor Overcash; Justin Kidd; Jennifer Williams; Erika Lessane; Renee Smith; and Kelsie Gibson.

Taking responsibility in life B Y K ATHY C HAFFIN
kchaffin@salisburypost.com
Augustine Wiggins had to grow up quickly. At age 6, his father was in prison and his mother would go out partying at night, leaving Augustine to care for his two younger brothers and two younger sisters. “I would fix food on the stove for me and my brother, and I had to fix baby formula for the younger ones,” he says. “I changed diapers, did homework ...” This continued until Augustine was 8. “The neighbors heard a noise,” he says, “and so they came over one night and asked if my mom was at home. I said no, and they called the police.
“The police came over and took us to my grandparents’ house.” The Rowan County Department of Social Services got involved, and Augustine and his siblings were adopted by various family members. His father’s parents, Vera and Ernest Wiggins, adopted him and his younger brother, Joseph, a rising senior at North. His mother’s parents in Gastonia adopted his younger brother and sister, who are twins, and his youngest sister lives with her father. “She had a different father,” he says. When he went to live with his grandparents, Augustine says he had a difficult time transitioning to a more nor-
mal childhood. “I felt like they took my responsibilities away,” he says. “I started to cope with it after a while.” Ten years later, Augustine is preparing to graduate from North Rowan High School with a 3.2 grade-point average. He will be attending Wingate University this fall on an academic and track scholarship with plans to major in marketing and sports management. “My career goal is to become a sports agent,” he says. Augustine was also selected as the J. Michael McDuffie Memorial Scholarship recipient at North Rowan. The scholarship is given to JON C.

No matter how tough life is, move on BY KATHY CHAFFIN
kchaffin@salisburypost.com
No matter how tough life gets, Chy’Keyla Caldwell says there’s always someone out there who is struggling more. “So you should always use that as a reason to push forward because there’s no reason you can’t do anything,” she says. Chy’Keyla has faced several challenges during her education, including moving from Salisbury to Iredell County and then South Carolina be-
fore returning to her home. “I’m happy to be back,” she says. Though she lives with her father, Walter Brotherton, Chy’Keyla was living with her mother when she moved. The custody battle between her parents ended up with a judge allowing Chy’Keyla to decide with whom she wanted to live. It was the summer before the fifth grade when it happened. “It was real stressful,” she says, “because that would determine how the rest of my life would be. It was such a
young age and a big decision.” Chy’Keyla chose to live with her mother, then changed her mind and moved back to Salisbury to be with her father. The experience made her a stronger person, she says, “and taught me how to make good decisions.” Despite the stress of changing schools, she managed to keep her grades up

A mother who believed in him and an attorney who challenged him to do better made a good student out of Emiziah “John” Everwine. Before that, he’ll be the first to tell you he was anything but. “I started out as a third-time freshman,” he says. What that means, John explains, is that he literally spent three years in the ninth grade at South Rowan High School. “I just never went to class,” he says, “didn’t do my homework, never did the classwork. I was rebellious and argued with the teachers.” Looking back, John says he and the friends he had at China Grove Middle School, where he had made good grades, drifted apart after a couple of months at the high school. Getting involved with the wrong crowd while trying to fit in contributed to his bad attitude, he says. John’s problems escalated his third year as a freshman when he was charged with assaulting a teacher. “I pushed him out of my face,” he says. “I raised my voice and said some foul language I know I shouldn’t have. “As a teenager like that, you don’t care.” John says the intervention specialist at South tried to get him to drop out. “She said that would probably be my best op-

That kind of drove me to want to graduate. “Everybody was like, ‘You’re not a good kid,’ but my mother was like, ‘You’re a lot smarter than that.’ ” Cecil Whitley, the Salisbury attorney his mother hired to represent John, also saw who he could become. Whitley offered him an internship with his law firm if he would pull his grades back up to As and Bs. John, who was sentenced to six months of supervised probation and ordered to complete 24 hours of community service work at the school and attend an anger management course, accepted the challenge.
“After the assault charge, I just started doing my school work,” he says. John managed to make good enough grades to pull his grade-point average up to 2.93 and will graduate Friday only a year behind schedule. He completed his internship with Whitley last semester, helping with office work, running errands in the courthouse and getting a chance to meet the judges and other attorneys. John’s experience with the court system at an early age and his internship with Whitley influenced his decision to pursue law as a career.

All the way from California BY KATHY CHAFFIN
kchaffin@salisburypost.com
Sadie Chuor left all her friends behind when her family moved from California to western Rowan. “It was definitely hard just starting all over,” she says, “new friends, new school, new place.” Sadie started eighth grade at West Middle School not knowing anyone. There was also a major
difference between California and Rowan County. There wasn’t as much to do here, she says. To make matters worse, what was to be a new beginning for her family took a turn when her parents separated a few months later and then divorced. “It’s kind of sad,” Sadie says, “but divorce is like a common thing these days. It was hard dealing with that.”
The family split geographically as well. Steve Chuor returned to California with Sadie’s older brother, Damian. Sadie says she was very close to her father and the separation was very difficult. Though she could have gone with him, she chose to remain in Rowan with her mother, Tracy Doan, and little sister, Haley. “The only

Overcoming physical adversity BY KATHY CHAFFIN

Being born with spina bifada may require Brynne Lippard to walk on crutches, but it hasn’t slowed her down. “I still do basically everything that everybody else does,” she says. “I don’t let my disability get me out of doing things at school and stuff.” East Rowan High School guidance counselor Laura Marlow says Brynne was the
unanimous choice of the school’s scholarship committee as the nominee for the J. Michael McDuffie Memorial Scholarship, which is awarded to students who have overcome hardships and excelled in school. “She’s very well respected by her peers and her teachers,” she says. “Everybody respects her because she doesn’t view herself as having this disability.” Brynne, who has a 3.8
grade-point average, says she didn’t know anything about the scholarship until she was announced as the winner at the school’s Senior Awards Night. She also received a $500 Margaret Basinger Scholarship and two scholarships to Pfeiffer University — a Presidential Scholarship for $8,000 and a Scopes Scholarship for $2,000.

In addition to the J.

As a lawyer, John says he hopes he can make the same kind of impression on the youths he represents as Whitley did on him.

and will graduate from Salisbury High on Friday with a 3.5 grade-point average. Chy’Keyla says leaving the high school will be emotional. “I’ve grown to appreciate a lot of the people there,” she says. “They’ve helped me through a lot.” Chy’Keyla says Mildred Chinaka, who serves as faculty adviser for the TRU (Tobacco Reality Unfiltered) Club, has been especially helpful to her. “She’s provided me with a lot of good insight along the way,” she says. “She’s always there if I need her.” It was Chinaka, intervention specialist at the school, who nominated Chy’Keyla for the J. Michael McDuffie Memorial Scholarship for students who overcome adversities and excel in school. Chinaka can’t say enough good things about Chy’Keyla. “She is a very strong young lady who is committed to whatever she’s doing,” she says. “Adversities that we

other relatives we have here is my mom’s mother and my mom’s sister,” she says. It didn’t take Sadie long to adjust to living in the West Rowan district. “I’m used to it now,” she says, “not just the location, but the people in general. The people here are a lot nicer. I’ve grown to like it a lot.” In the meantime, Sadie’s mother remarried and had another son, Devin. What started out as a difficult transition has turned into a success story for Sadie. She will graduate from West Rowan High School Friday with a 4.43 grade-point average, having taken honors and AP classes. Sadie was selected as the recipient of the J. Michael McDuffie Memorial Scholarship for West Rowan, which is awarded to one student at every Rowan-Salisbury high school who has faced significant hardships in their lives. “Life is hard,” Sadie says. “You’re going to go through things, but it will only make you stronger. You’ve just got to push through it, and I per-

enced and persevered through significant hardships in their lives, have successfully completed high school and have a plan for their future. One thing Augustine says he learned from his childhood is that “you can go through bad things in the beginning, but as long as you strive and work hard in school and choose to be a positive person, you can achieve your goals.” An important factor in doing that, Augustine says, is to surround yourself with positive people. “You can’t be around negative people,” he says. “I’d rather have people around me that push me to reach for my goals.” Looking back, he says his experience as a young child
school system who started the scholarship in memory of her husband, suggested John as a nominee after talking with him during a luncheon at South. Tomlinson says it was a pleasure nominating him. “I wish that every student would grow up the way he did during high school,” she says. “It’s just amazing for him to come from where he was and make such a positive change.” John says he and the teacher he assaulted are now friends. Tomlinson says he is a wonderful student. “He comes to school and tries his best and still helps his family,” she says. John works with his mother, Teresa Everwine, in the op-
eration of her trucking company, Bowers Trucking. He also helps her around the house. They worked together to create a lawn filled with beautiful flower beds and intricate walkways. Tomlinson says John also tries to be a positive role model for his younger sister, Tabitha. He also has an older brother and sister. John’s devotion to his mother is evident by how many times he brings her up in conversation. He says she paid off their house working as a waitress before starting the trucking company. “She’s a heck of a woman, I’ll give you that,” he says. Contact Kathy Chaffin at 704-797-4249.
have in life can propel us in a positive way or hold us back. What she has done in her life is to let them propel her in a positive way.” As vice president of the TRU Club, Chy’Keyla moderated a recent Wheel of TRU event at Salisbury Mall. Afterward, Chinaka says parents came up to her wanting to know who she was. “A lot of people praised her and said she did an excellent job.” Chy’Keyla was also among three masters of ceremony at a Salisbury High talent show sponsored by the TRU Club, Me Time and the Key Club. “She will go far in life,” Chinaka says. “I think she has good values, even though she had the disruptions in her life that she’s had. She has good values and morals that she stands by and adheres to.” Chy’Keyla says she was surprised when she heard her name announced at the school’s community awards program as the winner of the McDuffie scholarship. “I knew I had been through some hardships,” she says, “but I knew there were also other people out there that
were also deserving. ... I was really excited because I know there are going to be some difficulties coming up with funding for school, and that will be a big help.” Chy’Keyla has two younger brothers and two younger sisters. “I feel like I’ve become a better role model for them,” she says. She also helps out younger kids in the community. “There’s a girl waiting on me now to help her with something,” she says. Chy’Keyla plans to study biochemistry at East Carolina University. “I want to work in forensics and that would pretty much cover the entire field,” she says. The whole aspect of “finding out why something happened or how” is fascinating to Chy’Keyla. Her role model is President Barack Obama, and she recites one of his quotes as her philosophy in life: “Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” Contact Kathy Chaffin at 704-797-4249.
sonally just try to stay positive about everything ... I’m grateful for what I have, and I work hard for what I have.” She was also accepted into the Access Program at Appalachian State, which means that most of her tuition and costs will be paid for by the university. Sadie also received a $500 National Honor Society scholarship. While at West, Sadie has been a member of the soccer and swim teams. She served as executive treasurer of the Student Government Association this year and vice president of the National Honor Society, having served as a representative last year. She’s also on West Rowan’s Relay for Life team and served as team captain last year. Sadie was a Junior Civitan her freshman and sophomore years, is a member of the Young Life Christian organization and copy editor of the school newspaper. Sadie says she is grateful to guidance counselor Laura Fry and English teacher and newspaper adviser Lydia Richmond. In her first year at West, she says Fry helped her with college applications. “Any questions I had, she was
there to answer,” she says. “I’m very thankful to have had her.” Richmond served as kind of a second mother, Sadie says. “Whether it had to do with school or home stuff, I knew I could talk to her about anything and it not be awkward.” Fry says Sadie goes way beyond what is expected of her in all her endeavors. “I’ve certainly considered it a pleasure and privilege to work with her and get to know her this year,” she say. In addition to maintaining her high grade-point average and participating in two sports and numerous clubs and organizations at West, Sadie works as a cashier at Food Lion. “I don’t think there could have been a more worthwhile recipient of any scholarship that she’s been awarded,” Fry says. Sadie plans to major in biology on a pre-med path at Appalachian. I’ve always known I wanted to do something in the medical field,” she says. “Right now, I’m kind of leaning toward radiology, so we’ll see how that goes.” Contact Kathy Chaffin at 704-797-4249.
helped make him a better person. “It made me more mature and responsible among my peers.” Going to North Rowan High School has been a positive experience for Augustine. “It’s a relatively small school,” he says, “and it’s more focused. The teachers can give you more advice ... They can not only build you as a student in the classroom, but can help build your character outside the classroom.” William Tenborg, senior guidance counselor at North, says Augustine is one of the most polite young men he has ever known. “He’s got a pretty good direction of what he wants to do and how he wants to get there,” he says, “and he’s focused on those things ... He’s just a great young kid.” Augustine joined the track team when he started
riding home with a senior member of the girls’ track team during his freshman year and would have to wait for her to finish practice. “I got tired of sitting in the car,” he says, “so I started participating.” He also runs cross-country. Augustine and his family attend Mount Zion Baptist Church, where he is a member of the mime ministry. “People in the church influence me to stay focused and set goals that I can reach only through hard work and dedication,” he says. He’s a member of the Key Club and Spanish Club at North and is president of the DECA Marketing Club. Augustine participates in the Teen Court program and volunteers at Rowan Regional Medical Center in the summers, transporting patients in wheelchairs. Contact Kathy Chaffin at 704-797-4249.

Scholarship awards those who overcome Kathy McDuffie, director of secondary education and career technical education for the Rowan-Salisbury School System, says her family and friends established the J. Michael McDuffie Memorial Scholarship as a way to honor her late husband’s memory and his love of children. The $500 scholarship is awarded to a graduating senior from each RowanSalisbury high school who has experienced and persevered through a significant hardship in life. Their hardship could be physical, emotional or environmental.
OVERCOMING FROM 13C mute to Pfeiffer and study accounting. “I’m not really sure what I want to do and thought I might like something like that,” she says. Brynne is vice president of the East Rowan Student Council and a member of the National Honor Society. She has been a Junior Civitan for four years and a member of the Future Business Leaders of American (FBLA) for three years. In addition, Brynne served as scorekeeper for the girls’ track team her freshman, sophomore and junior years. Marlow says Coach Laurie Wyrick says students would try to give her a ride around the track or to the bus when they were traveling, but Brynne always turned them down. “She was like, ‘I’ll do it myself,’ ” Marlow says.
This is the second year the scholarship has been awarded. “Through Mike's 21month battle with cancer, he never gave up or gave in,” Kathy McDuffie says. “He was always positive and enjoyed life and every day he was given. “When faced with a setback or another medical issue, he would say, ‘This is just a bump in the road.’ He believed it was all part of the Lord’s plan for his life. He set a wonderful example for our children and me as well as for many others whose path he crossed.”
McDuffie’s family asked each school’s scholarship committee to select a student for the scholarship. The purpose of the scholarship, she says, “is to support students who have faced difficulties and through perseverance and determination, they have successfully completed high school and have a plan for their future. “This should be a student who has lived by the motto of the Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research,” Kathy McDuffie says, “which is ‘Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up.’ ”
“She has a positive attitude, and she’s always willing to help other students.” Brynne says all of the staff and students at East have been very kind in offering to help her. “But I pretty much take care of everything on my own,” she says. Even as a young child, she accepted spina bifada — a condition that occurs when the backbone and spinal canal do not close before birth —as being a part of her life. Brynne says Charlotte Cherry, law and justice teacher and Student Council adviser at East, has had a positive influence on her educational career. She has worked with Cherry since being elected to the Student Council her sophomore year. She says it hasn’t quite hit her yet that she’ll be graduating Friday. “I’m kind of nervous about col-
lege,” she admits. “I don’t know if I’m ready.” The daughter of Julie and Mike Lippard, Brynne has an older brother, Derrick Preston, who lives in Philadelphia; an older sister, Kara Preston, who is a third-grade teacher; and a younger brother, Reid Lippard, who is a sophomore at East. Her family is very supportive, she says, and has encouraged her throughout her school years. As for hobbies, Brynne says she likes to shop, spend time in her family’s swimming pool and hang out with friends. She is a member of the Youth Group at Grace Bible Church, where she has attended her whole life. Her family’s going to celebrate Brynne’s graduation with a trip to Disney World.

Teens retrace the steps of many legendary civil rights icons CHARLOTTE — This summer, 12 area students will take a seven-day bus tour through the south to study the civil rights movement. The tour is part of the Stratford Richardson YMCA’s Creating a Usable Past program for middle and high school students, which focuses on critical thinking skills, writing, leadership, community service and educational advancement. Pfeiffer University history professor Dr. Michael Thompson began planning for the trip following a tour he took two years ago with civil rights leader Julian Bond. He also created a curriculum for students to study. Since April, students have been meeting on Thursdays to learn about the civil rights movement, key figures and historic places. They also kept a journal, watched documentaries and discussed past and current events. In addition, students who went on the tour last year served as peer mentors to this year’s participants. The group talked about race and identity, equality and cultural differences. More than 50 students applied for the 12 available spots. “I feel this generation of young people who are at the cusp of adulthood face an interesting crossroads where the issue of race and race relations reveals itself in our country,” said Thompson, who was granted a sabbatical by Pfeiffer officials to pursue the project. “I firmly believe that providing students opportunities to engage their past outside the classroom can make the learning experience both

valuable and meaningful. Fortunately, the YMCA leadership in Charlotte warmly received my idea to support this important initiative.” The tour will take place June 13-19 across nine cities. The sites include the Dexter Avenue Church in Montgomery, Alabama; the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tennessee, and the University of Mississippi. Students will also meet and photograph historians and who participated in the civil rights movement. Their pictures from the trip will be displayed in a photo exhibit when they return. The students will also blog daily about their experiences at www.creatingausablepast2010.blogspot.com Transportation and accommodations have been provided by the Stratford Richardson YMCA and the YMCA of Greater Charlotte so there is no cost to students. CMS students who will participate in the tour include: Ayana Daniel and Nevahl Dixon of West Char-
lotte High; Vandell Jackson and Tiarra Price of Midwood High; Bryanna Norwood of Butler High, Breanna Washington of Northwest School of the Arts; Marlon Dunlap and Lazaro Guiterrez of Wilson Middle and Sydney Espy and Keith Miller III of Alexander Graham Middle. Former and present students in the program will address the media during a press conference Tuesday, June 8, 10:30-11:30 a.m. at the Stratford Richardson YMCA, 1946 West Blvd. The students will also take the media on a tour of the photo exhibit from the 2009 civil rights tour. The Stratford Richardson YMCA is located on the west corridor in Charlotte. The branch was named after Charlotte civil rights activists Willie J. Stratford, Sr. and Jim Richardson. The Stratford Richardson YMCA teen programs provide students with better choices to empower them to become the best they can be.

Gray Stone Day School graduation and senior plans Gray Stone Day School will hold its sixth graduation commencement ceremony on Friday at 7 p.m. The ceremony will be held in Merner Gymnasium on Pfeiffer University’s Misenheimer campus and a reception honoring the seniors and their parents will follow. Gray Stone Day School alumna Gretyl Kinsey will provide
the music. The commencement speaker will be Pat McCrory. McCrory is the former mayor of Charlotte. He voluntarily ended his 14-year term as Charlotte’s longest serving mayor in December 2009. During his record breaking tenure, more than 200,000 new jobs were created, crime was reduced to a 30-year low
and his leadership of Charlotte’s 25-year transportation and land use plan, including the Carolinas’ first light rail system, gained national recognition. In 2010, former mayor McCrory continues to be a partner with McCrory & Company, a sales and client development consulting firm, and he is also senior di-
rector of strategic initiatives for Moore & Van Allen, PLLC, headquartered in Charlotte. McCrory serves on the Board of Directors of Lending Tree and Kewaunee Scientific Corp. After a close defeat as the Republican nominee for governor in 2008, McCrory’s name is often mentioned as the leading can-
didate for many political offices, including governor in 2012. This year 63 area graduates will complete their high school careers as they prepare to go on to college. It is the fifth year seniors have completed a service project as part of their graduation requirements. The students have worked hours in their
communities helping to implement new programs or to benefit established ones. Student commencement speakers are Greg Asciutto, Christina Eller, Ric Huneycutt, Molly Peele, Blair Streater and Megan Yost. Junior marshals are Rachel Bangle, Candace

Connecticut school board to appeal church grad ruling HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut school board has voted to appeal a federal court ruling that would keep the town’s two high school graduation ceremonies out of a megachurch. Tuesday night’s 5-4 vote by Enfield’s Board of Education reverses a board deci-
sion last week to let stand the temporary injunction issued by U.S. District Court Judge Janet Hall. Hall found that holding the June 23 and 24 graduations at First Cathedral Baptist Church in Bloomfield would amount to an unconstitutional government endorsement of religion.
Attorney Vincent McCarthy, who’s representing the school district, plans to file with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. American Civil Liberties Union attorney David McGuire says he’s disappointed by the decision but believes the injunction will be upheld.
