DISEASE DOESN’T STOP THE FUN

Independent trying to get on the ballot Turman wants slot as county commissioner BY KARISSA MINN

Andrea Mayle talks about her son Diego Hernandez’s blood disorder called von Willebrand disease.

Disorder means 7-year-old in constant need of donated blood SHAVONNE POTTS

JON C. LAKEY/SALISBURY POST

t 2 months old, Diego Hernandez had his vaccinations and bled for five hours afterward. When he was 3 months old, he had regular nose bleeds. As a toddler, when he began learning to walk, every tumble and fall resulted in a bruise. In December 2006, his parents, Andrea Mayle and Carlos Hernandez, convinced doctors to test their son for hemophilia, a blood clotting disorder. In January 2007, when Diego was 4, doctors discovered he had von Willebrand disease, a bleeding disorder that affects the blood’s ability to clot. If the blood does not clot, it can be hard to stop bleeding after an injury. In Diego’s case, every spill resulted in a bruise and every serious bump resulted in a possible CT scan to check for internal injuries. Some at the hospital thought Diego’s parents were harming him. If Andrea or Carlos picked him up by the arms to place him in a stroller, he bruised. People who have von Willebrand disease either have low levels of a certain protein, von Willebrand factor, or the protein doesn’t work the way it should. The von Willebrand factor helps the blood to clot. Von Willebrand factor is what acts like glue to help platelets stick together and form a clot.

Diego Hernandez jumps into the pool at his grandmother’s home on Webb Road. The Red Cross is hosting a drive Friday in his honor. There are three major types of the disease. Diego has Type 2A, meaning the von Willebrand factor doesn’t work the way it should. “His body produces it, but it doesn’t work,” Andrea said. He receives regular infusions of a factor replacement therapy called Humate-P, which is derived from human plasma. Diego relies on donated blood that is processed so the von Willebrand factor is stripped from it — and he’s able to use it. “He gets it and it goes directly to where he needs it to go,” Andrea said. It’s as if there is a hole in the body and the factor knows where that hole needs to be filled, explained his grandmother, Julie Mayle. ••• The Dole Chapter of the American Red Cross is hosting a blood drive in honor of Diego. The drive will be Friday from 2-6:30 p.m. at the chapter, 1930 W. Jake Alexander Blvd. The first-grader at Forest Park Elementary in Kannapolis does not play contact sports in school like tag or dodge ball.

“If anything happens, it happens to him,” Andrea said. One day at school, two classmates were playing tag and sandwiched Diego in between them. He immediately had a bruise on his forehead. Another time, he and a child were jumping rope together and bumped heads. He had to have an infusion after the incident and his hematologist ordered a CT scan to check for internal bleeding. “If he gets hit in the head, he automatically goes to the doctor,” Andrea said. In this previous school year, Diego had five CT scans. Diego’s 4-year-old brother, Felix, does not have von Willebrand disease. Felix is the family daredevil, while Diego is the cautious one, Andrea said. He is cautious, Andrea said, not because he’ll bruise easily, but because he knows it could lead to an infusion. Infusions mean needle pricks for Diego. The process takes more than 20 minutes. While he undergoes infusions, Diego watches cartoons.

Michael Turman grew up in a family of Republicans, but his parents taught him to vote for whoever he thought would do the best job — no matter what the party. Now Turman, 39, hopes others in Rowan County will do the same. He is fighting to earn a spot on the ballot this fall as an unaffiliated candidate for county commissioner. He originally changed his registration from Republican to unaffiliated to support conservative Democrats he knew in western Rowan County. When he began his first campaign for elected office — now living on the other side of the county — he decided not to change it again. “I wouldn’t be good for the community... if I was willing to sacrifice my beliefs just to sign up and run with a party because it was easier,” Turman said. Nancy Evans, county elections director, said an unaffiliated candidate must collect 3,591 signatures — 4 percent of total registered voters — by June 25 to earn a spot on the November ballot. The elections office will verify that each signature belongs to a registered voter in Rowan County. As of Thursday afternoon, about 1,200 signatures had been turned in and verified. Turman said he thinks volunteers will turn in about 1,200 more in the coming week. In his effort to get on the ballot, Turman and his supporters are going door-todoor, explaining to residents why he is running and ask-

He also has placed advertisements in the Salisbury Post and sent out mailings to some unaffiliated registered voters. As of Jan. 14, there were about 33,100 registered Democrats, 36,800 registered Republicans and 19,800 unaffiliated voters in Rowan County. “I think the time is right,” Turman said. “There’s a lot of sentiment out there that folks are just tired of the two parties bickering and not getting anywhere.” Even the Republican party itself is split, he said, with members arguing amongst themselves. Turman says while he is not against any of the parties themselves, he hopes people will vote for each individual

Order of Long Leaf Pine bestowed on captain in Salisbury Fire Department BY KARISSA MINN

kminn@salisburypost.com

Capt. Rick Barkley has given much in his 23-year career with the Salisbury Fire Department, and this weekend the state of North Carolina gave a little back. Barkley was surprised Saturday evening with a presentation of the Order of the Long Leaf Pine at Ryan’s Steakhouse in Salisbury. N.C. Rep. Fred Steen presented the award on behalf of Gov. Bev Perdue. The Order of the Long Leaf Pine is given to individuals who have

a proven record of extraordinary service to North Carolina. Steen said Saturday’s presentation was a first for him, and he was honored to give the award to a firefighter like Barkley. “Capt. Rick Barkley is a great example of bravery bestowed in professional firefighters,” Steen said. “He is also a community leader, protector, teacher, friend and mostly a great man... Capt. Barkley has supported us in his life of service, and now we are here to support him.” He has worked with the Salisbury Fire Department for 23 years. In ad-

dition, he served six years in the Air National Guard’s fire division, three years as chief of Pooletown Fire Department and three years as a parttime firefighter with the South Salisbury Fire Department. On March 7, 2008, Barkley’s life changed drastically. That day, he fought the Salisbury Millwork Fire that destroyed the business and claimed the lives of two firefighters assigned to his company, Victor Isler and Justin Monroe.

POUND, Va. (AP) — For seven days, Robert Gleason Jr. begged correctional officers and counselors at Wallens Ridge State Prison to move his new cellmate. The constant singing, screaming and obnoxious behavior were too much, and Gleason knew he was ready to snap. On the eighth day — May 8, 2009 — correctional officers found 63-year-old Harvey Gray Watson Jr. bound, gagged, beaten and strangled. His death went unnoticed for 15 hours because correctional officers had falsified inmate counts at the high-security prison in southwestern Virginia. Now, Gleason says he’ll kill again if he isn’t put to death for killing Watson, who had a history of mental illness. And he says his next victim won’t be an inmate. “I murdered that man cold-bloodedly. I planned it, and I’m gonna do it again,” the 40-year-old Gleason told the Associated Press. “Someone needs to stop it. The only way to stop me is put me on death row.” Gleason already is serving a life sentence for killing another man. He fired his lawyers last month — they were trying to work out a deal to keep him from getting the death penalty — so he could plead guilty to capital murder. He’s vowed not to appeal his sentence if the judge sentences him to death Aug. 31.

Parents left kids in car to go gambling in Connecticut MASHANTUCKET, Conn. (AP) — Two Massachusetts parents have been accused of leaving a 1-year-old and a 10year-old alone in a car as they gambled at a Connecticut casino. Connecticut state police say Edwine Louissaint of Dedham and David Augustin of Milton face charges including second-degree reckless endangerment. Police found the children Thursday after being called to a garage at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket. State police Lt. J. Paul Vance says video surveillance and gambling records showed Augustin and Louissaint were in the resort for more than an hour. Court officials say Augustin was ordered held on $40,000 bond Friday, while Louissaint was released on $25,000 bond after she promised to reappear in court. Neither defendant entered a plea.

Restaurants raided in Phoenix over illegal immigrant workers PHOENIX (AP) — Sheriff’s deputies raided two Sizzler steak house restaurants in Phoenix on Saturday, arresting nine employees who are suspected of being illegal immigrants and using fraudulent documents to get jobs. The raids were part of a yearlong investigation into whether the operators of the two Sizzler locations broke a civil law by knowingly hiring illegal immigrants, Maricopa

County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Brian Lee said in a statement. Deputies were looking for 23 suspects wanted for identity theft, Lee said. Authorities said one of the suspects was deported three times and has been hired back each time he returned. The sheriff’s office received a tip from a former manager who claimed he had been fired for his refusal to hire employees without the proper papers.

No more yuks over yaks in Wyoming BUFFALO, Wyo. (AP) — Cattle ranchers in the foothills of Wyoming’s Big Horn Mountains are no longer yukking over a herd of yaks that keeps getting loose. John and Laura DeMatteis of Buffalo, Wyo., raise the wooly, cattle-like animals on their 300-acre Yak Daddy Ranch. They sell the animals, which are native to Asia, for

their meat and wool. Problem is, the herd keeps wandering off — more than a dozen times in recent years. Local cattle rancher Scott Rogers says the roaming yaks were funny at first. Now he says they eat his grass and he worries they could mate with his cows. Local officials say they’re pursuing an ordinance against “yaks at large.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is asking Republican lawmakers to approve billions of dollars in new spending to avert a scheduled 21 percent cut in payments to doctors who treat Medicare patients. If GOP senators don’t allow the stalled proposal to pass, some doctors will stop treating Medicare recipients, Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday. The Senate’s top Republican, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, said his party wants to avoid reducing physicians’ fees, but do it without adding to the deficit — meaning spending cuts elsewhere. The president noted that since 2003, Congresses led by Democrats and by Republicans alike have blocked similar proposed cuts in doctors’ reimbursement rates. But now, he said, Republicans are “willing to walk away from the needs of our doctors and our seniors.” The “doc fix” is part of a large, Democratic-drafted bill that would extend several popular tax breaks while greatly increasing the tax that oil companies pay into a spill liability fund. Republican senators have focused their objections on the bill’s tax increases, not the doctors’ pay matter.

Many education reform advocates consider tenure to be one of the biggest obstacles to improving America’s schools because it makes removing mediocre or even incompetent teachers difficult. Colorado’s legislature changed tenure rules despite opposition from the state’s largest teacher’s union, a longtime ally of majority Democrats. Gov. Bill Ritter, also a Democrat, signed the bill into law last month. It requires teachers to be evaluated annually, with at least half of their rating based on whether their students progressed during the school year. Beginning teachers will have to show they’ve boosted student achievement for three straight years to earn tenure. Teachers could lose tenure if their students don’t show progress for two consecutive years. Under the old system, teachers simply had to work for three years to gain tenure, the typical wait around the country.

LANGLEY, Ark. (AP) — The search for nearly two dozen people who disappeared after flash floods swept through a popular campground went from desperate to grim on Saturday, after teams that scoured miles of river and rugged wilderness found just two bodies. The last time someone was found alive was late Friday morning, hours after a pre-dawn wall of water surprised sleeping campers at the Albert Pike Recreation Area, leaving them frantically trying to scramble up the steep terrain in the dark. As the swollen rivers subsided and the hours ticked by Saturday, anguished relatives waiting for word of loved ones grew more and more frustrated, lashing out at reporters, knowing that at some point the search mission would become one of recovery. “They’re just devastated. The time for shock has probably gone and now it’s just anxiety building. They’re beginning to fear the worst,” said Graig Cowart, the pastor of the Pilgrim Rest Landmark Missionary Baptist Church. At least six of the 18 people confirmed killed were young children, according to a list released by Gov. Mike Beebe’s office. State police said Saturday evening that there were 22 people missing. About 200 searchers combed some 20 miles of wilderness along the receding rivers Saturday. Crews on kayaks and canoes scanned the thick brush and debris in the swollen Caddo and Little Missouri rivers for bodies, but experts say many of those killed could be trapped under fallen trees and rocks, and that the river water likely won’t be clear enough to see through for several days.

SPENCER — Families from in and out of town are enjoying Rail Days at the N.C. Transportation Museum this weekend. Rail Days began Saturday and continue today, featuring train rides, model trains and educational programs for adults and children alike. Cheryl Sultan came to Rail Days with her husband, son and five daughters. The visit was a late birthday present to her son Adam, who just turned 5 years old Wednesday. He seemed entranced by everything he saw. “I like when I can play with toys, like the Thomas toys,” Adam Two girls wait for their ride on the caboose train to begin said, standing in front of a train set. at the N.C. Transportation Museum’s Rail Days. Adam collects Thomas the Tank Engine toys and wore a Tshirt with the character to Rail Days. He has a toy roundhouse just like the one he stood in Saturday, said his father, Aaron Sultan. “More than anything, I’ve enjoyed watching my son’s train set come to life here,” Aaron said. In the shade of the Bob Julian Roundhouse, tables with several model railroads are set up for viewing. For those who want to try it themselves, a model train expo features parts and other items for hobbyists and collectors. The museum also lets visiting families take rides on the 100-foot turntable, which was once used to help move engines in and out of the roundhouse for repairs. “Adam rode the turntable, and that was spectacular,” Aaron said. “He loved that. He has one at home and pretends, and now he’s riding one.” At 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. this weekend, classic steam and diesel locomotives are displayed on the roundtable in the “Parade of Power.” Onlookers listen to historical information about each massive engine as it is presented. Matthew Frazier, of Mt. Holly, visited the transportation museum with his father, the Rev. Cyrus Frazier, and his nephew, Zack. “It’s our first time at Rail Days, but my father and I came here years ago when this place Visitors to Rail Days browse the model train expo.

first opened,” Matthew said. Zack, 11, said he liked seeing the old cars on display in the museum. “I’m looking forward to looking at more trains and hopefully riding on a few,” he said. Visitors can ride on classic passenger coaches pulled by antique diesel engines, their whistles sounding a familiar “choo-choo!” Families also can take rides on small motorcars or a colorful caboose train. Laura Sultan, Adam’s 8-yearold sister, said she liked the caboose ride the best. “It was fun getting to sit at the top,” she said, referring to the car’s raised cupola. Rowan County resident Melvin Potts waited for the caboose train with his grandchildren, 5-year-old Clayton and 11-year-old Sidney. Potts said he and his grandchildren had come to Rail Days before, and they came back this year because they liked it so much. “I liked to go inside and look at the helicopters and old cars,” Clayton said, “and I like riding the trains.” Also featured this weekend is the music of Hobo Bill and Kristin, tours of a railway post office car, historical presentations and children’s crafts. In addition, Saturday’s visitors enjoyed the Annual Rail Days Chili Cook Off.

If you go • Parade of Power — 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. • Train rides — Every 45 minutes between 9:15 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. and every 45 minutes between 12:45 and 3:45 p.m. • Special activities include a Model Train Play Table, coloring in the Roundhouse, takehome crafts and the Operation Lifesaver Booth, which teaches kids and adults about railroad safety. • Tickets — $12 each, with discounts available for museum members. Tickets entitle visitors to unlimited train rides and all the sights and sounds around the museum.

Rowan Regional, YMCA team up to offer wellness program BY SHAVONNE POTTS

spotts@salisburypost.com

Rowan Regional Medical Center is partnering with the YMCA to bring a health and wellness program called Wellness Connection to its members. The program, which is currently under way, is designed to bring expanded services to each YMCA facility aimed at providing support to members

in their quest to lead healthier lifestyles, hospital officials said. Wellness Connection is geared toward “adults who have been prompted by their physician to begin an exercise program,” said Rick Parker, senior director of professional and support services at Rowan Regional. Parker is also a YMCA board member. Rebekah Adams, a registered nurse who has bachelor’s and

master’s degrees in nursing, will provide health screenings including cholesterol and blood pressure as well as health counseling. Some of the screenings will have a fee, Adams said. “This is a nurse-based program. People would bring in their medications and we can talk about the side effects, talk about the importance of taking them like they should or red

flags,” Adams said. Adams can also refer people to physicians. She will split her time during the week among three YMCA branches. Parker said Adams is there to provide the medical connect with the member’s doctor and with support from YMCA staff, can prescribe a workout session.

This summer, hundreds of young adults will swing hammers, drive nails and swipe paintbrushes, all for strangers. The youth, ages 13 and older, volunteer with Carolina Cross Connection, a Christian outreach ministry that reaches out to those in need by providing home repair work. The organization, based in Lincolnton, holds four weeklong camps throughout western North Carolina. Campers/volunteers stay at any of the five camp sites, including Camp Carolwood near Lenoir, West Wilkes Middle School in Wilkesboro, Camp Loy White in Casar, Camp McCall in Bostic and Joshua Youth Camp in Albemarle. The volunteers form Christian Mission Groups, which are teams made up five to seven campers that work on repair or building projects in the community. The first week of camp begins today at Joshua Youth Camp. During their week at camp, the groups typically perform three one-day projects and a two-day project. “We meet people’s needs in any way we can,” said Tyler Joyner, camp director of Joshua Youth Camp. “Our purpose is to serve. “We equip the youth that go out and serve the people in these communities.” Volunteers come from Virginia, Delaware, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and Maryland. This year, more than 1,300 campers are projected to travel from more than six states. “It’s a time for them to renew their spiritual life. It’s also a good way to spend your summer,” Joyner said. “It equips you to go back to school with a better mindset.” Seventy campers are expected to lend their time and skills to aid 40 families in Stanly, Cabarrus and Montgomery counties during the first week. Joyner said campers are equipped with project plans and instructions while working alongside trained staff to do the repairs and building. There is no previous experience required.

Kannapolis to host public hearing on proposed budget BY EMILY FORD

eford@salisburypost.com

KANNAPOLIS — Kannapolis City Council will hear public comments on the proposed budget and several other issues during a 6 p.m. meeting Monday at the train station. In his proposed $45.3 million budget, City Manager Mike Legg recommends leaving the property tax rate at 49 cents but increasing the water rate to help pay for construction of a new waterline. The budget includes no new city employees, no pay raises and $350,000 to improve the Village Park entrance road and parking lot off West C Street. Council also will hold public hearings on the following issues: • Amend the city’s newly adopted Electronic Gaming Ordinance to clear up a potential loophole that could allow sweepstakes businesses to locate closer to a primary gateway than 200 feet. Primary gateways include entrances to the city on N.C. 3, N.C. 73, U.S. 29, Kannapolis Parkway, Lane Street, C Street and Main Street. • Consider voluntary annexation of 14 acres at the northeast corner of Lane Street and Stadium Drive, the future site of the Carolinas HealthCare emergency room facility. In other business, council will consider temporarily delaying the payment of water and sewer connection fees for residential subdivisions, due to the recession, and limiting tanker trucks’ access to city fire hydrants to prevent theft and misuse.

Livingstone, Johnson Smith to host two-day symposium BY LAURIE D. WILLIS Livingstone College News Service

CHARLOTTE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A two-day symposium intended to find viable solutions to the problems facing African-American males will kick off the Second annual Commemorative Classic between Livingstone College and Johnson C. Smith University. The Commemorative Classic is a football contest featuring the Livingstone Blue Bears and the JCSU Golden Bulls, the first two teams to compete in a black college football game on Dec. 27, 1892. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event will be held Nov. 4-6. Last year the two teams met for the inaugural Commemorative Classic, which was played at Alumni Memorial Stadium on Livingstoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

The announcement about a two-day symposium geared toward the plight of black males was made Wednesday at the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce, where officials from Livingstone and JCSU, as well as other dignitaries, gathered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Auspicious is the operative word to describe this gathering here this morning,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Jimmy R. Jenkins Sr., president of Livingstone College. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Indeed, this gathering is propitious. It is doubtful that when Livingstone College and Biddle Institute teed it up on Dec. 27, 1892 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in what was described as little more than a cow pasture, no less â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the contestants in that momentous occasion had the slightest inkling of the legacy to which they were about to give birth: games of monumental histor-

ical significance, coaches of legendary proportions and players of extraordinary brillianceâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? Jenkins also said the onus is on both institutions of higher learning to ensure the vision demonstrated in 1892 is carried forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This morning, these two institutions that are the heirs of that historic legacy left by our forefathers are here to declare that our goal is to accept this inheritance and take it to its ultimate destination as a vehicle for creating opportunities for those who have been disenfranchised and invisible,â&#x20AC;? he said. Dr. Ronald L. Carter, president of Johnson C. Smith University, began his remarks by chiding Jenkins about last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory. Then he got serious. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of us here at this table

are inviting you to share a history and a vision,â&#x20AC;? Carter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year The Chronicle of Higher Education issued a report about the 2020 student. It should come as no surprise that student bodies will increasingly be minorities. In fact, sometime after 2020, minority students will outnumber whites for the first time in the history of America. Demographics suggest North Carolina will see 18 percent of this minority population. While we celebrate this, we have a concern that we must address now, and that is the concern over the plight of the AfricanAmerican male.â&#x20AC;? The theme of the symposium will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;Black and Minority Males Taking Flight Through Personal Development, Knowledge Sharing and Commitment to Community.â&#x20AC;? The two-day conference will

target black and minority males ages 15-24, youth practitioners, interested adults and faith-based entities dealing with issues relative to males of color. Topics will include health and wellness, relationship development, leadership development and gang violence recognition and prevention. Event organizers expect the symposium to be the precursor to an annual Black and Minority Institute. Greene, a 1966 Livingstone graduate, said Wednesday that he hopes young men from Charlotte, Salisbury and surrounding communities attend the two-day symposium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to invite some of the young men who are actually living in the conditions weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re studying and trying to ameliorate,â&#x20AC;? Greene said. Commemorative Classic of-

ficials should have no problem creating a top-notch symposium. Walker, the senior Bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, was among participants in a symposium March 1-3 involving the three major black Methodist denominations. The symposium addressed some of the same issues Commemorative Classic officials hope to target. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can no longer sit idly by and watch our young men being incarcerated and being involved in all kinds of vices in the streets,â&#x20AC;? Walker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see this classic between Livingstone and Johnson C. Smith as another vehicle or great opportunity for us to again address many of these great issues facing our community. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m encouraged by it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m inspired by what I see here today.â&#x20AC;?

“Everyone from the town wants the event to succeed. China Grove provides the venue for a fun night. I felt safe on the run even though it was dark,” she said. “I was amazed at how many residents came out to watch the race along the streets.” Race director Aaron Crowe agreed. “This race is about countless volunteers knowing what to do. It’s the town’s race, the YMCA’s race, it belongs to the sponsors, runners, and volunteers,” Crowe said. Edie and Ricky Smith started the event and ran it for the first three years before the YMCA took it over. There has been a steady increase in participants during that time, though the weather has played havoc with attendance a few times. Not so on Friday night, as the festive atmosphere included a DJ, many vendors and two kids’ races. A first time highlight this year was a cooling shower of water sprayed by the fire department on the runners who wanted it. “I ran through it going out and coming back,” said Mike Mangum of Salisbury. “I made sure I got soaked heading toward the finish.” Bone marrow recipient Anna Hartsell came from Albemarle to run her first 5K along with her sister, Taylor, and father, Gary. Ronda Malnar of Salisbury soaked in the excitement. “I just can’t believe the quality and organization of this event.” she said. “We’ll be back next year.” The first kids’ race of the evening was the Krispy Kreme Tot Trot. A 100-yard dash showcased 30 future 5K’ers. No times were kept,

Downtown China Grove came alive in a big way Friday night. Almost 650 participants came to Main Street with friends and families for the biggest running event in many years in Rowan County. China Grove provides the picturesque setting of small town Americana and the many runners provided almost unlimited energy on a summer evening. The 13th annual China Grove 5K Main Street Challenge was the headline event. Runners came from four states to run down and back on Main Street. The event is organized by the South Rowan YMCA, and the course was protected by the town fire and police departments. The runners started in twilight and finished in the dark. Overall male winner was Jordan Kinley of Charlotte in a time of 15 minutes and 5 seconds. Ryan Woods of Boone was second and Chris Lamperski of Charlotte followed in third. Amber Moran of Arden set a new course record of 17:1 to lead the women. Alice Rogers of Charlotte was second, with China Grove’s 20-year-old Olivia Jacobs finishing third. Jacobs, who runs for Western Carolina University, gets excited about the race each year. “I love that the race gets so much of the community out for a healthy cause, and it’s great that they cheer us on. It’s nice that such good competition comes here,” Jacobs said. “I like running night races and this one is special.” In the end, 555 runners and walkers registered for the 5K. Susan Moore of Woodleaf has run the race 12 of the 13 years.

The Rowan County Animal Shelter has several animals waiting to be adopted and taken to a good home. Dog: She is the perfect size to fit in your pocketbook. This tiny, female Chihuahua mix came to the shelter as a stray and her unique color pattern matches her outstanding personality. She loves everyone that she meets. Kitten: This little tuxedo kitty is all dressed and ready to go with the first person that wants to give him a loving home. He came to the shelter as a stray. We estimate that he is around 9 weeks old. From rescued animals to those abandoned by owners who couldn’t afford them, and all others in between, the Animal Shelter has them all. Adoption fees are $70, a down payment for spay/neuter costs. The voucher can be used at any veterinarian’s office. Before adopting any animal, a person must agree to take the pet to a veterinarian for an exam and spaying/neutering. If the animal isn’t already vaccinated for rabies, the person must agree to begin shots within three business days. Rabies shots can be given

as soon as the pet turns 4 months old. The animal shelter isn’t equipped with a medical facility, and cannot administer any procedures or treatment. A worker at the shelter will go over all information and gladly answer all questions from those adopting pets. Want to view animals at the shelter? Kennel hours are from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday-Friday and 8 to 11 a.m. Saturday. Office hours are from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday and 8 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday.

ASHEVILLE (AP) — A North Carolina man has been charged with felony hit and run in a crash that killed a motorcyclist. The Asheville CitizenTimes reported that 22year-old Aron Clifford Hallum turned himself in Friday and was also charged with driving with a revoked license. Police say 36-year-old Johnnie Nelson Faircloth Jr. of Asheville died when his motorcycle was hit by a car Friday afternoon. A female passenger on the motorcycle was injured, but those injuries were not thought to be life-threatening. Investigators say the driver of the car ran from the accident, leaving his car and two passengers. It was not immediately clear whether Hallum remained in jail or whether he

“The weather helped to set the tone for endtime survival thinking amongst the scouts. They learned as the blowing rain descended and night began to fall that success would depend solely on teamwork,” Michael King said. The participating troops were judged on several factors with a maximum possible 100 points. The Scoutmasters looked at several factors to determine the winner including, troop participation, cooking using soda can stoves that the Scouts made, fishing and other outdoor competitions, Scout spirit, working as a patrol and Class A and Class B uniforms. The most outstanding Boy Scout in attendance award went to Dominic Isabell-Caradetti and the Girl Scout award went to Alecia Henderson. Damascus Ministries plans to host an Endtime Training Camporee every quarter of the year to test the Scouts readiness and effectiveness against other troops. Boy Scout Troop 300 and Girl Scout Troop 752 is open to all children ages 11 through 18. The troops meet at 6 p.m. every Friday at Damascus Emmanuel Ministries, 306 Barbour St.

Damascus Emmanuel Ministries hosted a training and survival event for a local Boy Scout troop to test their readiness. Boy Scout Troop 300 participated in the weekend event, which was held at Camp John J. Barnhardt Boy Scout Reserve in Badin. The Boy Scouts competed against Girl Scout Troop 752, which is also chartered at Damascus Emmanuel Ministries, along with Boy Scout Troop 300. The Boy Scouts’ Eagle Patrol won at the first quarterly Endtime Training Camporee, which was assisted by Ranger Red and other scouting volunteers. During the camporee the Eagle Patrol, using Boy Scout systems for endtime training and survival won first place against Girl Scout Troop 752. Pastor Michael King, Boy Scout leader, said he wanted to test the scout’s readiness and effectiveness in a wilderness setting. “I believe this is probably a first, where the Boy Scouts compete against the girls scouts, but this is good because it raises the bar for the girls and brings them into real world competition,” said Girl Scoutmaster Tichica King. Rain on the first day of the competition led all of the Scouts to work together to set up their tents.

Adams also has connections to nutritionists, physical therapists and other disciplines to aid in the assessment and recommendations for the members’ overall exercise and diet program. There will be a number of educational programs including smoking cessation, weight and stress management, cancer wellness and diabetes. This is the first program of this caliber in Rowan County, said hospital spokeswoman Falon Nye. There are hospitals in Charlotte who have partnered with facilities to bring similar programs to its members. “There has been a trend to partner with health care and YMCA facilities for a total overall health and wellness for its members,” Nye said. Amanda Hesse, chief operating officer for the Rowan County YMCA said they are excited about the program. “We’re excited to bring this comprehensive program to our members. With the talents of our staff and the addition of the Wellness Connection, we feel we’re enriching our members’ lives by helping them improve their overall health,” Hesse said. The Wellness Connection is available to Rowan County YMCA members, but certain classes and programs will be available to the public. “It’s a good relationship to have. It’s a good way to reach out to the community. The YMCA sees it as a good benefit to members and the hospital sees it as a good outreach,” Adams said.

candidate, not for a political party. “I just believe the country would be so much better off if everybody was independent,” he said. “If I make it onto the county commission, I’m not going to let any group or any party sway my decision.” In 1997, Turman began work as a sales manager for Piedmont Honda, selling motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles and personal watercraft. He bought the business in 1999 and owned it until 2004, when Extreme Motorsports bought it. He now owns Turman Real Estate Holdings. He said that as a business owner, he knows how to make hard decisions in tough financial times. “I took over a business that was about to go under and turned it around, and I put my rear end on the line to make that happen,” Turman said. He said states and counties shouldn’t have to offer incentives to businesses, but unless the practice is stopped nationwide, Rowan County needs to provide competitive offers. Turman also said that if elected, he would be the only commissioner with a child in Rowan County schools — his fourth-grade daughter, Shelby. He thinks he would bring a different perspective than the teachers or former teachers on the board.

Robert ‘Bob’ White, left, chats with Michael Turman, who stopped by his home in the old U.S. 70 area of Cleveland. He not only wants to make sure that the schools are properly funded, but also to hold the school board accountable for how the money is spent. Central office needs might be partially met by cutting administrative staff, he said, but the numbers of teachers shouldn’t be cut and more may even need to be added. Before moving to a house near High Rock Lake with his wife of 14 years, Beth, he lived in the Hidden Hut subdivision when Salisbury tried to annex the

area in 2008. Though that attempt was thwarted, Turman wants to make sure the fight against forced annexation stays strong. Whether voters agree with his viewpoints or not, Turman simply wants them to help him get on the ballot. After that, he said, they can vote for any candidate they choose. “I’m just asking for the chance to run,” Turman said. “I’m just out here wanting a chance.”

Barkley survived the fire but received burns to his left arm and back, as well as an injury to his hip and neurological damage. He has not been able to return to full duty, but he continues to work as a fire code inspector. Barkley was nominated by Cory Orbison, captain with the Salisbury Fire Department, and his wife, Michelle. “Most people would have stopped and given up,” Cory Orbison said. “Instead of stopping, he’s pushing forward and trying to remain active in his service.” Michelle Orbison added she was happy her nomination of Barkley for the Order of the Long Leaf Pine was approved. “It cannot erase all the things that have happened — and that’s something we all have to deal with — but this is a moment we can give to him to say thank you for all that you’ve done,” she said. Barkley instructs various specialty classes at RowanCabarrus Community College. He has taught each of the Rowan County Rookie Schools there — the class of 2010 makes his 13th. “Hundreds of firefighters from Rowan and surrounding counties continue to improve their knowledge and skills through Capt. Barkley’s continued dedication to our state, even after the tragic accident that left him unable to perform the duties that he loved so dearly,” the Orbisons’ nomination letter reads. “It is Capt. Barkley’s dedication to the protection of our city, county and state, that we believe qualifies him for the Order of the Long Leaf Pine.” The presentation and celebration dinner were attended by about 50 of Barkley’s

Uniformed firefighters rotated in and out as they congratulated Barkley, ate and went back to work. Chad Moss began as a firefighter with the department six years ago, and he has known Barkley since then. He says the captain is an excellent mentor. “He makes everybody better just by being around them — by the way he acts, by the way he talks and by the way he trains,” Moss said. Firefighter Chris Smith has known Barkley for 17 years and says the captain has been through even more than people know about. “He’s just one of the finest guys you’ll ever meet,” Smith said. “If anybody deserves it, he does.” Other awards Barkley has received include two Life Saving Awards, a Purple Heart awarded by the Salisbury Fire Department in 2009, Joe Jenkins Captain of the Year in 2009 and campaign medals. Barkley was urged to give a speech after Saturday’s award presentation. A man of few words, he simply said, “I appreciate this. It does mean a lot.”

Rowan splits doubleheader BY DAVID SHAW

dshaw@salisburypost.com

CHERRYVILLE — Noah Holmes and Justin Morris Florence 6 provided another Rowan 4 happy ending Saturday — and this was sorely Rowan 14 one needed. Clover 4 The pair of Rowan County infielders each slugged a home run in an abbreviated 14-4 win over Clover (S.C.) at Cherryville’s American Legion ballpark. It followed a six-er-

ror, 6-4 loss to Florence (S.C.) earlier in the day. “You’re not gonna beat anybody with six errors,” coach Jim Gantt said between games. “You can’t play defense the way we played it and expect anything good to come of it.” Rowan (8-7) bounced back in the second of three games it will play in this North-South Challenge. Holmes crunched a two-run homer — his second in two days — to spark a sevenrun first inning. And Morris jacked a three-run shot that made it 10-3 in the bottom of the second inning. “We did a lot better hitting the

ball in that game,” Morris said after collecting four RBIs in the nightcap and five for the day. “We came up with a new strategy and stuck with it. Everyone pretty much had the

take sign until they threw us a strike.” Holmes, whose day included three errors in the opener and three RBIs in the nightcap, said the order to be more selective came from Gantt. “It forced us to be patient,” he said after reaching base four times. “You can’t hit the ball if you don’t wait to see it. I guess we were just seeing it better.” Clover (4-6) offered little resistance. Winning pitcher Dakota Brown was tagged for four runs in the first three innings, but for the most part

steered clear of danger. He finished with six strikeouts and no walks in a five-inning complete game. RC took a 7-1 lead in the first inning when it sent 13 batters to the plate and banged out seven hits — including doubles by Zach Smith, Preston Troutman and Morris — against lefties Clint Medlin and Robert Langford. “Medlin goes to Limestone, but he’s fighting back from an injury,” Gantt said. “I’m not sure if we were up against any really good pitching.”

Dempsey goal gives U.S. a tie BY RONALD BLUM Associated Press

RUSTENBURG, South Africa — U.S. 1 E n g England 1 land’s players couldn’t get off the field fast enough. The Americans lingered to savor the night. They walked to the end of Royal Bafokeng Stadium where thousands of red, white and blue-clad fans were waving the Stars and Stripes and cheering their heads off. Try convincing the U.S. team and its fans there wasn’t a winner in the 1-1 draw with mighty England. “We’ll take more out of a draw than they will,” said U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard, the man of the match. “They’re going feel like they should have won the game.” Facing the Three Lions in the World Cup for the first time in 60 years, the United States rallied and then hung on for an instant boost in confidence that they could advance to the second round. Clint Dempsey became only the second American to score in two World Cups, getting the tying goal in the 40th minute on a blunder by goalkeeper Robert Green. Howard made six saves, withstanding a second-half barrage by Wayne Rooney and his celebrated teammates. “I think a lot of us came off the field satisfied with this result, but maybe a little disappointed we didn’t get more out of the game,” U.S. star Landon Donovan said. Steven Gerrard put England ahead in the fourth minute, blowing past Ricardo Clark to beat Howard from short range. Dempsey tied it when Green fumbled his 25-yard shot that skipped off the ground twice, yet another mistake in a long line by English goalkeepers. Anticipation had built for six months for the much-hyped game, the first competitive meeting between the nations since the famous 1-0 U.S. upset at the 1950 World Cup in Brazil. There were viewing parties across America, and several Major League Soccer teams opened their stadiums to show the match from across the world on large video boards. “I’m sure they were excited in bars back home. I can only imagine it was pretty intense,” Howard said. “We’re a resilient side, you know. We’re a tough side and on our day we can put a good performance in.” Howard bruised his ribs when Emile Heskey’s foot slid into him in the 29th minute. He was down for awhile, grimaced several times when play resumed

Dale Earnhardt Jr. signs autographs before a practice session for today’s NASCAR Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400.

It has been a long drought for Junior BY WILL GRAVES Associated Press

BROOKLYN, Mich. — It’s not the kind of anniversary Dale Earnhardt Jr. enjoys celebrating. NASCAR’s most popular driver heads to the track for today’s 400-mile race at Michigan International Speedway two years removed from his last trip to Victory Lane.

It’s been 71 long races since Earnhardt memorably coaxed his No. 88 Chevrolet to the finish line at the two-mile oval, alternately starting and then killing the engine to conserve enough fuel to reach the checkered flag under caution. He hoped his first win at Hendrick Motorsports would be the start of big things. Instead, it’s been two years of mostly big headaches.

Earnhardt missed the Chase for the championship last year and is in danger of missing out again this fall. He’s 16th in points with 12 races remaining in the regular season and as close to falling out of the picture as he is of cracking the top 12. After finishing second at Daytona, he’s faded as the temperatures have warmed up with just one top-10 finish in his last nine races.

Yet Earnhardt is surprisingly upbeat. He remains confident in crew chief Lance McGrew despite some missteps in the race setups and pit strategy in recent weeks. “With everything that I’ve been through since I won my last race, I can honestly tell you ... this weekend I’ll get in the car Sunday and I firm-

Where will Hornets go?

‘Miserable’ Kobe ready for Game 5

Keeping up with spring football ... pring has turned into summer and on the local football scene, Salisbury’s star running back Romar Morris has yet to make a final list of college finalists. The number of offers is climbing toward 20 as Tennessee is the latest to offer the speedster, who has run a 4.3 40. Hornets coach Joe Pinyan said recently the most important thing for the 5-11, 180-pound Morris was getting through exams and taking the SAT. RONNIE we’ll sit down with GALLAGHER his“Then, parents and discuss what the options are out there,” Pinyan said. “Does Mama want him to stay close to home? Does the school offer what he wants to get a degree in? There’s a lot of questions. He’ll get it down to the five schools he’s happy with and make visits and a decision.” The big schools are still coming around. “Penn State and Tennessee were in

BOSTON — The Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers are headed to a pivotal Game 5 of the NBA finals, the latest big moment in basketball’s biggest rivalry. The Celtics can move a win away from an 18th championship, and a 10th in 12 meetings with the Lakers. Kobe Bryant can inch closer to a fifth title, a chance to further cement his legacy. Have to love it, right? Not if you’re Bryant. “I’m miserable,” he said Saturday. That’s because of the Celtics, who guarded him well in the fourth quarter of their 96-89 victory Thursday that evened the series at two games apiece, and simply won’t allow him to be as spectacular as he was against Phoenix in the previ-

They probably found Morris in the weight room with his buddies, defensive back Darien Rankin and quarterback John Knox. “All of our kids are busting their rear ends,” Pinyan said. “A lot of coaches who come through here say there is a different type of work ethic. They say, ‘You guys aren’t afraid to be in the weight room.’ It may not be the prettiest weight room but it’s obviously a working atmosphere.” • Morris’ teammates don’t have the luxury of hand-picking their schools.

ous round. Game 5 is today, and the Lakers expect to have center Andrew Bynum back after he played only 12 minutes in Game 4 because of a sore right knee. Lakers coach Phil Jackson thought Bryant looked tired in that game, and Bryant was even asked if he’d tweaked his knee. Combine that with all the talk of how well the Celtics have defended him, and suddenly those doubters that surfaced when Bryant looked so worn down late in the regular season are popping up again. “That’s what they do,” Bryant said. “They show up, disappear, show up, disappear. That’s part of it.” He can silence them again with a big effort Sunday. That’s not easy against these Celtics, who didn’t flinch when they had to face

Texas evens series Associated Press College baseball roundup ... AUSTIN, Texas — Taylor Jungmann gave up only one run on six hits in 81⁄3 innings to lead Texas to a seriestying 14-1 win over TCU in the Austin Super Regional on Saturday. The Longhorns (50-12) scored four times in the third inning, including twice when Jantzen Witte’s throwing error allowed Brandon Loy and Tant Shepherd to score. Texas added to the lead with a seven-run fifth. Cohl Walla’s bases-loaded triple to left-center put Texas up 9-0. Shepherd extended the lead to 12-0 with a two-run homer. Myrtle Beach Super Regional S. Carolina 4, Coastal Carolina 3 MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — Blake Cooper worked seven innings of sixhit ball and South Carolina twice escaped bases-loaded jams down the stretch. Whit Merrifield (Davie) went 1for-5 and scored a run for the Gamecocks. Cooper (12-1) held the powerful Chanticleers (55-9) to their fewest runs since April 27 with a big assist from South Carolina’s defense and bullpen. South Carolina (47-15) can earn its first trip to Omaha since 2004 by beating Coastal Carolina on Sunday in Game 2 of the series. The Chanticleers must win twice to reach the CWS. Tallahassee Super Regional Vanderbilt 6, Florida St. 2 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Grayson Garvin pitched three scoreless innings for his first collegiate save and Vanderbilt moved within one win of reaching its first College World Series. Vanderbilt ace Sonny Gray (10-5) got the win after going the first six innings before Garvin limited Florida State (46-18) to three singles while striking out three. Brian Busch (5-2) was tagged with the loss despite giving up just one earned run in seven innings. Charlottesville Super Regional Virginia 3, Oklahoma 2 CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Danny Hultzen allowed six hits in eight innings and Dan Grovatt hit a goahead two-run home run as Virginia

won the opening game of the threegame series. The Cavaliers (51-12) overcame unusually sloppy defense thanks to Grovatt’s shot to right in the bottom of the sixth. Hultzen (11-1) then set down the next six Sooners hitters, and national saves leader Kevin Arico earned his 18th with a scoreless ninth. Los Angeles Super Regional UCLA 11, Fullerton 7 (10 inns.) LOS ANGELES — Cal State Fullerton was one out from Omaha. Now the Titans are a game away as UCLA came back to score two runs in the ninth and four more in the 10th for an 11-7 win to even up the Los Angeles Super Regional at one game. The teams will play the deciding game Sunday night at UCLA’s Jackie Robinson. In the top of the ninth, UCLA’s Tyler Rahmatulla hit a long two-out, two-run home run for a 7-6 lead the Bruins could not hold on to. UCLA’s Cody Regis hit two homers and Justin Uribe added one. Clemson Super Regional Alabama 5, Clemson 4 CLEMSON, S.C. — Jake Smith got Alabama started then made sure the Crimson Tide held on. Smith launched a long home run in the second inning to give the Tide (4223) an early lead. After the Tigers (41-23) cut a 5-0 deficit to one run, Smith moved over from third base and got the last six outs for his sixth save. Smith got out of the eighth with help from a double play. He retired three straight Tiger hitters in the ninth, the first two with strikeouts. Gainesville Super Regional Florida 4, Miami 3 (10 inns.) GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Austin Maddox’s two-out RBI double in the 10th inning lifted Florida over errorprone Miami and gave the Gators their sixth trip to the College World Series. Florida became the first team to land a spot in Omaha for college baseball’s premier event. The Hurricanes (43-20) extended the Gators (47-15) a helping hand in getting there. The Canes tied a postseason record with seven errors, the last one leading to the winning run.

‘Knuckle Princess’ fans Outlaw CHICO, Calif. (AP) — Eri Yoshida, the 18-year-old “Knuckle Princess” from Japan, pitched four strong innings and recorded her first strikeout of the season for the Chico Outlaws on Saturday. Yoshida, the first female to play professionally in the United States since 2000, gave up two runs and allowed the leadoff batter to reach base in every inning she worked. Yoshida kept the damage to a minimum in her second start of the season. Yoshida has created quite a stir in this college town since signing with the Outlaws earlier this year. Long lines of fans snaked through the stadium parking lot 30 minutes before the game. Team officials delayed the start briefly to allow people to get inside. The 5-foot right-hander, who already has a spot reserved in Cooperstown, was much more relaxed than in her debut May 29 despite hitting Yuma leadoff hitter Eric Scriven with her second pitch. Yoshida’s knuckleball, which she learned from watching tapes of Boston’s Tim Wakefield, dipped and danced nicely at times and prevent-

ed the Scorpions from doing much offensively. She struck out Timothy Rodriguez on three pitches in the third inning, drawing a roar from the Chico fans, and got a double play in the fourth before allowing an unearned run on an error by Chico shortstop Alex Prieto. The strikeout was Yoshida’s first of the year. She left with a 3-2 lead after getting Yuma pitcher Gilbert De La Vara to ground out to shortstop, but finished with a no-decision. During pregame introductions, Yoshida received the loudest cheers as she jogged from Chico’s dugout to the mound for her second start in front of the Outlaws crowd. It’s already been a whirlwind month for Yoshida. She became the first woman to play pro baseball in the United States since Ila Borders in 2000 when she pitched three innings against Tijuana. That prompted the Baseball Hall of Fame to ask for the jersey and bat Yoshida used in the game. Yoshida is also gaining a following in the majors. She has met and spoken to Wakefield multiple times.

Phenom pitches today Cleveland fans are gearing up for Strasburg’s road debut Associated Press

CLEVELAND — A city that knows something about watching a budding superstar is eager for the arrival of Stephen Strasburg. Few athletes have captured a town the way the Cavaliers’ LeBron James has enthralled Cleveland. Today, many of his fans will line up to see Strasburg, the Washington Nationals’ hard throwing phenom. Fans fretting over whether or not James will leave the Cleveland Cavaliers as a free agent this summer will get a brief diversion when Strasburg takes the mound against the suddenly potent Indians, winners of four of five entering Saturday night’s game. “I watched him on TV on Tuesday night and he was incredible,” said Lou Perrizone, who drove about 85 miles

from his Rossford home in northwestern Ohio on Saturday to buy tickets a day early. “But I’m an Indians fan. I want to see them beat him. Years from now, this ticket stub could be special — the first loss by a Hall of Famer.” All the hype, and Strasburg has made only one start. The first pick in the 2009 draft struck out 14 over seven innings to win his major league debut over the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-2. Indians first-base coach Sandy Alomar Jr., caught AllStars such as CC Sabathia and Bartolo Colon. He was impressed by what he saw on TV, but cautioned: “His stuff is the real deal, but let’s not make this Elvis coming back from the dead.” Alomar said it would be great for baseball if Strasburg indeed did, “pitch 20 years and

win 300 games,” but said he he’s seen plenty pitchers succeed early, run into difficulty, and be forgotten. Washington manager Jim Riggleman understands why so much attention is being heaped upon Strasburg. “You certainly can’t fault our fans and others for wanting great success,” Riggleman said. “They’re excited about it. I’m glad this is going on and expectations are high.” Riggleman believes a crowd expected to be Cleveland’s largest since an opening-day sellout will benefit both teams. “Players feed off those big crowds,” he said. “Quite often, you get a better brand of baseball when you get more people at the games. It shouldn’t be that way, but it is.” Indians manager Manny Acta hopes his young team

doesn’t get too excited. “He’s good, he’s special, but we have to stay in the moment,” Acta said. “We have to put up quality at-bats, make sure he throws the ball over the plate, and try to run up the pitch count.” Riggleman knows that, too, and will closely monitor the 21-year-old. “We’ll try to keep him under 100 pitches,” he said. Indians batters consider it a challenge to face the 6-4, 225-pound Strasburg. “You want to see what he’s got and take a few hacks against him,” Cleveland designated hitter Travis Hafner said. Outfielder Shin-Soo Choo said that from TV highlights, Strasburg reminds him of Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander. “Both have a big fastball and a big curve,” Choo said.

“You have to really focus.” Choo said even if Strasburg’s fastball registers triple digits on the radar gun, the measure of a good pitcher is where he locates his pitches and if he can change speeds effectively. “You look at (Joel) Zumaya,” Choo said of the

EARNHARDT FROM 1B

ly believe in what Lance is going to do, what the team is going to do,” said Earnhardt, who will start 27th. Besides, Earnhardt realizes he’s just as culpable for the drought as anyone. “I know I as a driver can always improve for this team,” he said. “If I was sitting there with a perfect record on my part, on my end, maybe I’d have some grounds to point some fingers.” Rather than assign blame, Earnhardt is trying to stay positive. During last week’s race at Pocono, he remained in constant contact with McGrew and stayed optimistic even as he slid from third to 19th. “I know with myself personally if I feel like I see a weakness in a team, it bugs (me),” Earnhardt said. “I just haven’t seen it there.” Neither have his teammates. Mark Martin pointed to Earnhardt’s struggles as proof of how difficult it is to win at the Cup level regardless of how easy the other Hendrick drivers make it look. Earnhardt’s teammates have won 22 times since his last triumph.

“They have run good enough to win some races last year and they’ve run well in some races this year,” Martin said. “Many of them have been foiled by one little issue here, one little issue there. They are dug in.” It’s a compliment Earnhardt tries to shrug off. Martin is his friend. It’s what he’s supposed to say. “I’m sure he is having to be positive due to our relationship as co-worker, but at the same time I feel like he feels honest because I do work really hard out there,” Earnhardt said. “I drove last week as hard as I could every lap because I knew we were really close on the car.” That hasn’t always been the case. Earnhardt says the days when he could cruise around and bide his time before trying to get to the front are over. He believes he’s more competitive on a lap-to-lap basis now than he’s ever been in his career. He’ll need to be if he wants to finally end a streak he never saw coming. “It is time for them to win a race and break through and end that streak,” said teammate Jimmie Johnson. “I am hopeful that happens very soon for them.”

Tigers’ reliever whose fastball reaches 100 mph. “That’s a great fastball, but you pretty much just have to look for that. With Verlander and this guy, you swing for the fastball and he throws that curve, you can look a little funny. “I don’t want to look funny. I want to win,” Choo said.

Nebraska AD Tom Osborne has no problem breaking ties.

Big Ten trumps tradition Associated Press

LINCOLN, Neb. — When Nebraska beat Oklahoma in the 1971 Game of the Century, when Johnny Rodgers took that punt return the distance, Tom Osborne was there. He made the call when the Cornhuskers fell short on the 2-point conversion try for the win against Miami in the 1984 Orange Bowl. He won three national championships and went 60-3 in his last five seasons, the final two coming in the Big 12. As much as anyone, Osborne epitomized the Big Eight and had a hand in building the Big 12 into a BCS power. “He made the Big Eight what it was,” said Barry Switzer, Osborne’s friend and coaching counterpart at Oklahoma in the 1970s and ’80s. Now, with Nebraska’s move to the Big Ten, Osborne is one of the key architects in putting the Big 12 on the brink of irrelevancy, if not destruction. Osborne said the nostalgia he felt for the days Nebraska played Oklahoma for league titles waned years ago, and he leaves longtime opponents Kansas, Missouri and others behind with a touch of sadness — but no regrets. “We’re going to miss them, and we feel bad about that, but we’re looking forward to some other competition. Life goes on,” said Osborne, Nebraska’s 73-year-old athletic director. Switzer said he knows Osborne based his decision

on what was best for Nebraska, just as Arkansas’ Frank Broyles, long a fixture in the old Southwest Conference, did when the Razorbacks jumped to the Southeastern Conference in 1990. The Big Ten offers a safe haven — prestige, a history of stability and the opportunity to make significantly more money. Yet the foundation for Nebraska’s football success was built on associations the Huskers have had as far back as the 1890s. Kansas has played Nebraska every year since 1907 — the longest-running series in college football. That will end when the Huskers start playing in the Big Ten in 2011. Osborne was head coach for 25 years, the longest tenure in program history, and went 255-49-3 from 1973-97. Of those 255 wins, 152 came against the old Big Eight. He never lost to Kansas, Kansas State or Oklahoma State. The only team that gave him fits was Oklahoma. He went 13-13 against the Sooners in a series that once was among the fiercest in the nation. When Big 12 scheduling started in 1996, Nebraska played Oklahoma only two out of every four years. “There’s no question that was our rival,” Osborne said. “But to be a true rival, you have to play every year. Things began to change at that point.” Osborne said he hopes Nebraska can make room on its future non-conference schedules for games against the old Big Eight opponents.

NBA FINALS FROM 1B

Dwyane Wade in the first round or LeBron James in the second, and weren’t fazed when Bryant scored 30 in the Lakers’ series-opening victory. Bryant managed only two field goals in the decisive fourth quarter of Game 4, and Boston limited him to only one in the last 12 minutes of the previous game. “They don’t want me to beat them, so they put three guys there,” Bryant said. “Nothing we haven’t seen before, it’s just when you win those games, like Game 3, nobody talks about that because we take advantage of it.

LOS ANGELES — Former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden, who led the Bruins to 10 NCAA championships and died on June 4, has been buried in Los Angeles. UCLA athletics spokesman Marc Dellins confirmed that Wooden was laid to rest Friday afternoon after a private ceremony for family and invited guests at Forest Lawn’s Old North Church in the Hollywood Hills A public memorial for Wooden is scheduled for June 26 at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion. Wooden died of natural causes at the age of 99 at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. He had been hospitalized since May 26. Wooden’s 10 national championships included an unmatched streak of seven in a row from 1967 to 1973. Over 27 years, he won 620 games and coached such greats as Bill Walton and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

BONDS

SAN FRANCISCO — Barry Bonds won a big legal victory Friday when a divided three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that prosecutors may not present positive urine samples and other evidence the government said shows Bonds knowingly used steroids. The appeals court ruling upholds a lower court decision made in February 2009 barring federal prosecutors from showing the jury any evidence collected by Bonds’ personal trainer Greg Anderson.

GOLF

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Still recovering from a bout of food poisoning, Robert Garrigus shot a 4under 66 to break out of a pack and grab a two-stroke lead Saturday over Robert Karlsson of Sweden after three rounds at a steamy St. Jude Classic. • SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Second-round leader M.J. Hur and Cristie Kerr sat

Moody but not as angry as he was during most of last year’s finals, when his own kids were calling him “Grumpy,” Bryant said he hadn’t been watching any coverage during the off days. So he’s missed the highlights of Nate Robinson leaping onto Glen Davis’ back as those reserves powered the Celtics down the stretch of Game 4. But he may have heard some of the talk about how well another reserve — Tony Allen — and the Celtics have contained him, so Boston coach Doc Rivers would like to quiet that chatter so Bryant doesn’t find himself with even more motivation Sunday. “Definitely that’s one, but you also know it’s a Game 5 and it’s 2-2. I don’t think there’s anything either one of us can say that is going to rile us up any more than being in a Game 5 in the fi-

atop the leaderboard at 13 under as the third round of the LPGA State Farm Classic was postponed because of thunderstorms.

TENNIS

HALLE, Germany — Roger Federer won his 29th consecutive match at this tournament, beating Germany’s Philipp Petzschner 7-6 (3), 6-4 Saturday to reach the final of the Gerry Weber Open against Lleyton Hewitt. Federer will go for his sixth title in this event today against Hewitt, who is seeded eighth and defeated Germany’s Benjamin Becker 6-7 (4), 7-6 (3), 6-2 to reach his first final of 2010. Federer, seeded first, lost his No. 1 ranking to Rafael Nadal on Monday. • BIRMINGHAM, England — Maria Sharapova beat Alison Riske 6-2, 4-6, 6-1 in the Aegon Classic on Saturday and will play Li Na in the final of the Wimbledon warmup.

NFL

MARLTON, N.J. — Donovan McNabb has a reminder for some of the young Philadelphia Eagles: He’s no longer going to be there to absorb the boos. McNabb was back in the Philadelphia area Saturday hosting a football clinic for 320 kids as part of his ongoing charity work. The six-time Pro Bowl quarterback said he’ll always have an attachment to the city where he played for 11 seasons before getting traded to the Washington Redskins in April. “I’ve been here for a long time,” McNabb said. “I feel like this is part of my home.” Though he was regular winner during his time with the Eagles, McNabb always drew his share of criticism. Now it’s time for the team’s next generation to see if they can handle the heat that comes with the praise. “It not only happens with me. It happens with Peyton (Manning). It happens with Tom (Brady).”

nals tied 2-2,” Rivers said. “But, yeah, Kobe is pretty competitive from what I hear, so there’s no doubt that the more you talk about it, the more the target is on. But that’s fine. The one thing I know about Tony, he’s not going anywhere. He’ll be there.” And he’ll have help. With Pau Gasol the only other Laker who’s hurt them, the Celtics can afford to turn even more attention to Bryant, who is averaging 28.3 points but on just 41 percent shooting. “Our whole thing is all five guys doing it together,” Allen said. “And when you got all five guys on the same page and focused and in tune on (assistant) Tom Thibodeau’s defensive strategies, I think it makes it difficult for guys, superstars.” The finals are tied after four games for the first time since 2006.

Matsuzaka placed on DL BOSTON (AP) — Red Sox right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka was a late scratch before his scheduled start against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday and was placed on the 15-day disabled list just before the game’s first pitch with a strained forearm. Matsuzaka warmed up in the bullpen and walked to the dugout about 15 minutes before the scheduled start. Just ahead of the national anthem, Scott Atchison started warming up quickly in the bullpen. When the anthem was over, he completed his warmups before walking to the dugout with pitching coach John Farrell. The Red Sox recalled left-hander Dustin Richardson from Triple-A Pawtucket to take Matsuzaka’s spot. 

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona’s Brandon Webb has thrown off the mound for the first time in three months, a move he didn’t expect. The former NL Cy Young Award winner wasn’t told of the Diamondbacks’ plans until pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre Jr. told him to go the bullpen after he played catch as scheduled on Saturday. Webb said he threw about 30 pitches and finally is seeing “a little light at the end of the tunnel.”

SALISBURY POST

Rookie debuts with grand slam Associated Press BOSTON — Daniel Nava hit the first pitch he faced in the big leagues for a grand slam — only the second player to do it — leading the Boston Red Sox to their second straight rout of the Philadelphia Phillies, 10-2 Saturday. Nava connected on a fastball from Joe Blanton (1-5) in the second inning, shortly after being called up from Triple-A Pawtucket. Kevin Kouzmanoff connected on the first pitch he saw Sept. 2, 2006, for Cleveland against Texas, according to STATS LLC. Only four players in big league history have hit grand slams in their first at-bat. Daisuke Matsuzaka was a late scratch and placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained forearm following his pregame bullpen warmup. Rays 6, Marlins 5 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Carlos Pena homered for the sixth consecutive game to help right-hander Matt Garza and Tampa Bay beat the Marlins. Pena, emerging from a season-long slump, became the first player to homer in six straight games since Frank Thomas did it for Oakland Sept. 5-11, 2006. White Sox 2, Cubs 1 CHICAGO — Mark Buehrle pitched scoreless ball into the seventh, Paul Konerko drove in two runs and the White Sox handed Carlos Silva his first loss, beating the Cubs for their season-high fourth straight win. Rockies 1, Blue Jays 0 DENVER — Jason Hammel pitched eight sharp innings and scored the only run as Colorado beat Toronto in a rare low-scoring game at Coors Field. It was only the ninth 1-0 game at Denver since the ballpark opened in 1995. The previous one came last July 6 when the Rockies beat Washington. Indians 7, Nationals 1 CLEVELAND — Carlos Santana homered and drove in three runs in his second career game, powering Fausto Carmona and the Indians past the Nationals. Mets 3, Orioles 1 BALTIMORE — Hisanori Takahashi allowed one run in seven innings, Jose Reyes

Reds 11, Royals 5 CINCINNATI — Jonny Gomes hit threerun homers in his first two at-bats for a career-high six RBIs, powering the Reds. Tigers 4, Pirates 3, 10 innings DETROIT — Carlos Guillen hit a leadoff home run in the 10th inning for the Tigers. Rangers 4, Brewers 3 MILWAUKEE — Chris Ray saved his first game since 2007 by getting Prince Fielder to pop up after the Rangers bullpen nearly blew Scott Feldman’s six scoreless innings. Giants 5, A’s 4 SAN FRANCISCO — Barry Zito finally got the best of his former team and only club he’d never beaten, ending a four-start winless stretch. Pablo Sandoval homered, and Juan Uribe hit a pair of run-scoring singles.

Yankees 9, Astros 3 NEW YORK — Derek Jeter homered twice, Jorge Posada snapped out of a slump with his first grand slam in nearly six years. Javier Vazquez (6-5) pitched seven solid innings for his third straight win and fourth in five starts. Jeter hit a leadoff shot and drove in four runs for the Yankees, who roughed up struggling left-hander Wandy Rodriguez and beat Houston without ailing slugger Alex Rodriguez (right hip) for the second consecutive day. New York moved a season-best 16 games over .500 at 39-23 with its seventh straight home victory — also a season high. National League Diamondbacks 7, Cardinals 2 PHOENIX — Dan Haren struck out nine without allowing a walk over eight innings and Adam LaRoche hit two of Arizona’s four solo home runs.

Reserve Conrad leads Braves past Twins ble. He was put into the Braves’ lineup about a half-hour before the game — no reason was given for Jones’ absence, though the slumping star missed five games last week with inflammation in his right ring finger. Matt Guerrier (1-2) walked Gregor Blanco with one out in the Atlanta ninth and gave up a single to Martin Prado. Jose Mijares entered the game, and Conrad dropped down a perfect bunt that the Twins reliever

Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — Brooks Conrad filled in neatly for Chipper Jones, Braves 3 making two Twins 2 nice plays at third base and then driving in the go-ahead run with a squeeze bunt in the ninth inning Saturday night that lifted the Atlanta Braves over Minnesota 3-2. Conrad also hit an RBI dou-

picked up and bobbled but had no play. Billy Wagner got the save in the bottom of the inning, his 11th in 13 attempts this season. Buoyed by a strikeoutcaught-stealing double play to end the sixth after Joe Mauer’s RBI double tied the game at 2, Braves starter Derek Lowe lasted one out into the eighth. The Twins loaded the bases, but Jason Kubel — a career .400 hitter with the bags full —

struck out against the fourth pitcher of the inning Jonny Venters (2-0). Conrad twice made difficult off-balance throws to get the Twins on grounders down the line. His two-out double against Nick Blackburn in the fifth put the Braves ahead 2-1. The game started on time despite persistent rain, but the crowd of 40,001 still streamed in for the team’s 29th straight sellout.

ALL-COUNTY GOLF

RONNIE GALLAGHER/SALISBURY POST

The 2010 All-Rowan golf team consists of, Front row: Player of the Year Roy Dixon (Salisbury). Second row: Troy Beaver (Salisbury), Alex Lee (Salisbury), Clark Alcorn (Salisbury), Tyler Crossen (Carson), Alex Nianouris (Salisbury), Preston Rogers (East), Mason Preslar (East), Josh Lowder (South) and Joseph Rusher (Salisbury).

and had a painkiller injection at halftime. Then he saved the Americans time and again in the second half, frustrating the very high-priced stars he faces each week when he plays for Everton. Howard said the hit “felt like agony.” After the match, he felt sore and said he might need an MRI to make sure there isn’t any damage. “Obviously the adrenaline is pumping,” he said. “In a couple hours I’ll be struggling.” Big defender Oguchi Onyewu played his first 90-minute game since rupturing a knee tendon in the last World Cup qualifier on Oct. 14. Forward Jozy Altidore, back from a sprained ankle, nearly put the U.S. ahead in the 65th minute, but Green got a hand on his angled shot and it deflected off the corner of the goal. “A little unlucky,” the 20-year-old said after his World Cup debut. With each save late in the game, louder chants of “U-S-A!” erupted from Sam’s Army and American Outlaws, groups who made the long and expensive trip from home to sit among the vuvuzela-blowing fans on a cool night in the Southern Hemisphere. The crowd of 38,646 included

Morris’ home run came against Matt Bridges, the third of five Clover pitchers. “It was a high, inside fastball again,” he said. “The same pitch I hit against Mooresville (last Thursday). Inside’s my favorite.” Teammate Andy Austin went 3-for-3, scored twice and reached base four times. And though Rowan committed only two errors in the second game, the running tally is now 13 in the past three games. “We’re still not playing well,” said Holmes. “We’re still trying to connect as a team. We’ve got a lot of work to do.” • That was apparent in the Game 1 loss to Florence (101). It began on a promising note when leadoff batter Troutman smashed a first-inning home run on the second pitch thrown by right-hander Chipper Smith. “An inside fastball that I just turned on,” Troutman reported. “The wind helped me out on that one.” An inning later Zach Simpson coaxed a leadoff walk and took second on a wild pitch. Matt Mauldin’s groundout moved him to third and Morris’ bounceout made it 2-0. Rowan starter Thomas Allen was effective for four innings, allowing one hit in his first start of the summer. But he ran out of gas after hitting consecutive batters with pitches. “That’s probably as long as he’s gone in a while,” said Gantt. Gantt was particularly upset with Rowan’s bullpen. Alex Litaker relieved Allen and yielded four runs, though two were charged to RC’s starter. “The bullpen can’t come in and give up three or four runs,” Gantt beefed. “The starter that was in there could have done that. It’s their job to get people out.” Rowan drew within 4-3 on a Luke Thomas sacrifice fly but Florence answered with a pair of runs against Bradley

CAMDEN, N.C. (AP) — Jeff Leitch was on the hunt. Carrying a chain saw over his shoulder, he carefully trudged through brush and along slippery logs in a clearedout swamp near South Mills. After trekking about a quarter mile, he spotted a lone, leaning tree with a nice-size burl, a roundish wood growth. It would be perfect for his next furniture creation.

Daughter wants to get rid of late mom’s broken home BY BRUCE WILLIAMS

United Features Syndicate

DEAR BRUCE: Our mother gifted my sister and I her house seven years ago. She recently passed away. Neither of us wants the house, but there are quite a few repairs that need to be made before selling. My sister would rather rent it as is since the resale market is in the toilet. She doesn’t want to put money into the house right now. I would like to not have the headache of renting and want to get rid of the house. I would like to get the repairs done and then give her the bill for half. I don’t want to see the house go into further disrepair to the point where when we do sell it, it’s worth very little even as a “fixer upper.” — Reader via e-mail

Smart money DEAR READER: You sister seems to not have any idea of what needs to be done. If you don’t spend the money on repairs, the house will be worth less and less, as you point out. And you can’t rent it in the state that it is in. You might ask your sister about getting an appraisal on the house in the current condition and then offer to buy her out, then you can do with it what you wish. I see only trouble in your future with your sister unless her unrealistic attitude changes. DEAR BRUCE: I would like to start a savings plan for my children and am considering a Roth IRA. Would this be a good choice, or should I

purchase some stocks, mutual funds, etc.? I don’t know too much about these savings plans but would like to help my kids get a head start. — Reader via e-mail

DEAR READER: Stocks and mutual funds that are comprised of stocks, etc., are investment vehicles. The Roth IRA allows you to take advantage of some very lenient tax laws. In the Roth, you still have to make a decision as to where and how the money is to be invested. With a Roth, the money that is put into the Roth is after-tax money, and that person must have earned at least that amount of money. You should start to educate yourself in the fundamental areas of investing. You could start by reading various financial publications, the financial

section of your local newspaper and TV shows devoted to finance. While this may not be too exciting, it is the only way to get started on sound footing. DEAR BRUCE: What are your views on debt-settlement companies? — T.R.

via e-mail

DEAR T.R. During these economic times, there are tons of “debt-settlement” companies advertising. They are looking for people with relatively large debts, and they are going to try and negotiate a lower number. The language in their advertising certainly appeals to the debtor.

The major exchanges were putting the trading breaks into effect Friday for six months. The New York Stock Exchange was to begin Friday’s trading with five stocks: EOG Resources Inc., Genuine Parts Co., Harley Davidson Inc., Ryder System Inc. and Zimmer Holdings Inc. The exchange will gradually add other stocks, expecting to reach by Wednesday the full number that will be covered. The Nasdaq stock market plans to have the new program fully in place on Monday. The plan for the “circuit breakers” was worked out by the SEC and the major exchanges following the May 6 market plunge, which saw the Dow Jones industrials lose nearly 1,000 points in less than a half-hour. Under the new rules, trading of any Standard & Poor’s 500 stock that rises or falls 10 percent or more in a fiveminute period will be halted for five minutes. The “circuit breakers” would be applied if the price swing occurs between 9:45 a.m. and 3:35 p.m. Eastern time. That’s almost the entire trading day. But it leaves out the final 25 minutes before the close — a period that often sees raging price swings, especially in recent weeks as the kind of volatility that marked the 2008 financial crisis returned. The idea is for the trading pause to draw attention to an affected stock, establish a reasonable market price and resume trading “in a fair and orderly fashion,” the SEC said. On May 6, about 30 stocks listed in the S&P 500 index fell at least 10 percent within five minutes. The drop briefly wiped out $1 trillion in market value as some stocks traded as low as a penny. The disruption “illustrated a sudden, but temporary, breakdown in the market’s price-setting function when a number of stocks and (exchange-traded funds) were executed at clearly irrational prices,” SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro said in a statement. “By establishing a set of circuit breakers that uniformly pauses trading in a given security across all venues, these new rules will ensure that all markets pause simultaneously and provide time for buyers and sellers to trade at rational prices.” Exchange-traded funds are increasingly popular investments that often track a market index such as the S&P 500 and can be traded throughout the day, unlike mutual funds. ETFs as a group were affected by the May 6 plunge more than any other category of securities. The markets will use the six-month pilot period, ending on Dec. 10, to make needed adjustments based on how the new rules work, the SEC said. The scope of the rules could be expanded to securities beyond the S&P 500, including ETFs. Schapiro said she wanted to see the program expanded quickly to cover thousands of public companies beyond the S&P 500. The new circuit breakers should help prevent disruptions caused either by extreme volatility as happened on May 6 or by an errant trade, said Maier Tarlow, an NYSE floor trader with Raven Securities. “We’ve always been in favor of this type of concept, so to have it across all markets is a no-brainer for us,” he said. “It’s helping protect the investing public.” The SEC commissioners approved the new rules on a 5-0 vote.

CNN co-founder Robert Wussler dies NEW YORK (AP) — Robert J. Wussler, a CNN co-founder who became the youngest president of the CBS television network when he took over at age 39, has died. He was 73. Spokesman Arthur Sando says Wussler died June 5 at his home in Westport, Conn., after a long illness. Wussler started his 21year career at CBS working in the mailroom.

These are among the small tables Jeff Leitch made from leftover scraps of wood. and with enough growth rings to take it back possibly 200 years. It was sawn down a long time ago, he said. This one he had to haul out with his four-wheel-drive 2004 Toyota pickup jacked up high enough to look like a monster truck. A falling tree left a bad crack on the passenger side of the windshield. His other truck, a 1991 Chevrolet with more than 500,000 miles and still chugging, has a big round dent in the front where he accidentally ran into a massive tree trunk. Leitch has furniture for sale in front of a country store at the intersection of U.S. 158 and N.C. 343 in Camden. Tables, benches and chairs line up where the old gas pumps used to be. A logger bench in front of the City Wine Sellar Bakery, Deli and Wine Bar in Eliza-

beth City has become a favorite sitting place, said Deborah Malenfant, the restaurant’s owner. Leitch has also made a new burl tabletop and mounted it on a metal stand for the restaurant. Customers are constantly commenting on the pieces, she said. “It really does stand out,” Malenfant said. “It’s good for

him and good for me.” A tabletop cut from a cedar burl and base would sell for about $300. Leitch made a bed frame and sold it for $75. Similar bed frames on the Internet sell for $3,000, he said. Every single piece is unique. “There will not be another one just like that anywhere else in the world,” he said.

tile business slumps through this economy. Logging in swamps is an old industry in Camden County. He uses what’s left over. “I’m basically walking into a junkyard of trees and coming out with something beautiful,” he said. He and nephew Chris Leitch, who helps him, once swam out into the Pasquotank River to retrieve a log stuck in the mud and poking above the surface. They straddled it and paddled it out. Chris’ end sunk so far under the surface he was barely able to keep his head above water. Another time, a large tree fell on Leitch’s foot, injuring it so badly he couldn’t walk. He cut a crutch from a nearby limb and limped his way out. It took a while. Dingo, his Australian cattle dog, loves to jump into the truck and go to the swamp. While Leitch looks for furniture pieces, Dingo searches for turtles and snakes. He once grabbed a water moccasin and shook it to death, Leitch said. A patch of matted hair on his head came from drips of epoxy after he laid under one of Leitch’s tables in progress. Leitch’s modest house is filled with his own furniture a hat rack made of poplar, a coffee table of oak and a fireplace mantel of cedar, to name a few. His backyard serves as his workshop. Stacks of logs, tables and chairs in varying stages of completion, chains and tools lie around the edges. He owns six working chain saws and bunch of others with burned-up motors. Off to one side is a cypress log nearly 4 feet in diameter

where he oversaw special projects including man’s landing on the moon. In 1978, Wussler formed his own production company called Pyramid Enterprises. It created syndicated programming for the international marketplace, specializing in Japan, France and the former Soviet Union. In 1980, Ted Turner recruited Wussler to join Turner Broadcasting Systems and to help develop CNN. Wussler won seven Emmy awards.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The price of lunch with billionaire investor Warren Buffett has topped $2 million again, breaking a previous record for the most expensive charity item ever sold on eBay. The final price of $2.6 million was announced Friday night after this year’s online charity auction wrapped up. The amount is even pricier than the $2.11 million bid in 2008’s Buffett lunch auction. Robert Chatwani, director of global citizenship for eBay, said it’s the “largest ever single auction for charity that’s been sold on eBay” in its 15year history. “I tell you, some people really want to have lunch with Warren Buffett, huh?” Chatwani said. “It’s really exciting.” The lunch auction benefits the Glide Foundation, which provides social services to the poor and homeless in San Francisco. A Glide spokeswoman said Friday’s winning bidder wants to remain anonymous. “It means a lot for Glide. They have about a $17 million annual budget, and this is a huge part of that,” spokeswoman Denise Lamott said. “We’ve been hurting from the economic crisis. This will help, and we’re grateful.” The bidding started at $25,000 last Sunday. Last year, a Canadian investment firm paid $1.68 million to dine with Buffett at New York’s Smith and Wollensky steak house. In 2008, a Chinese investment fund manager paid the $2.11 million. Buffett is chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., and one of the world’s most famous investors. His investment success and folksy wisdom have earned him a devoted following. He has supported Glide ever since his late first wife, Susan, introduced him to Glide’s founder, the Rev. Cecil Williams. Buffett has said the organization and Williams, who has led the nonprofit for more than 45 years, do a remarkable job of helping people recover after they hit rock bottom. The date of the lunch will be determined later, once the winning bidder and Buffett agree on a time. Online: Buffett Auction: www.GlideLunchWithWarrenBuffett.com

Seattle-based bank’s closure marks 82nd of year wide so far this year, the pace of bank failures is more than double that of 2009, which was already a brisk year for shutdowns. By this time last year, regulators had closed 37 banks. The pace has accelerated as banks’ losses mount on loans made for commercial property and development. The number of bank failures is expected to peak this year and to be slightly higher than the 140 that fell in 2009. That was the highest annual tally since 1992, at the height of the savings and loan crisis. The 2009 failures cost the insurance fund more than $30 billion. Twenty-five banks failed in 2008, the year the financial crisis struck with force, and only three succumbed in 2007. As losses have mounted on loans made for commercial property and development, the growing bank failures have sapped billions of dollars out of the deposit insurance fund. It fell into the red last year, and its deficit stood

at $20.7 billion as of March 31. The number of banks on the FDIC’s confidential “problem” list jumped to 775 in the first quarter from 702 three months earlier, even as the industry as a whole had its best quarter in two years.

A majority of institutions posted profit gains in the January-March quarter. But many small and midsized banks are likely to continue to suffer distress in the coming months and years, especially from soured loans for

office buildings and development projects. The FDIC expects the cost of resolving failed banks to grow to about $100 billion over the next four years. The agency mandated last year that banks prepay about

$45 billion in premiums, for 2010 through 2012, to replenish the insurance fund. Depositors’ money — insured up to $250,000 per account — is not at risk, with the FDIC backed by the government.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Regulators on Friday shut down a bank in Washington, bringing to 82 the number of U.S. bank failures this year. Seattle-based Washington First International Bank, with $520.9 million in assets and $441.4 million in deposits, was closed by the Washington Department of Financial Institutions, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. as receiver of the failed bank. East West Bank, based in Pasadena, Calif., agreed to assume the deposits and $501 million of the assets of Washington First International Bank. The rest will be retained by the FDIC for future sale. In addition, the FDIC and East West Bank agreed to share losses on $418.8 million of Washington First International’s loans and other assets. The bank’s failure is expected to cost the deposit insurance fund $158.4 million. With 82 closures nation-

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Alaska’s attorney general said Friday that the state has settled a breach of contract and professional malpractice lawsuit against its former actuary for $500 million. Dan Sullivan said he believes the agreement between the Alaska Retirement Management Board and Mercer Inc. to be the largest of its kind. He called it a “great result” for Alaska state workers and retirees. The matter dates to late 2007, when the state sued Mercer for at least $1.8 billion, alleging mistakes by the company had contributed to an $8.4 billion state pension deficit. Mercer had been actuary for the state’s Public Employees’ Retirement System and Teachers’ Retirement System pension plans. It had stood behind its work. Stock market declines and soaring health care costs also contributed to the multibillion-dollar shortfall, the Department of Law said. While the state was prepared to go to trial next month, Sullivan said it faced risks in doing so, including the potential for future countersuits and perhaps years of costly appeals. Not every case should be settled, he told reporters from Anchorage, but given the uncertainties in, and complexities of, this case, he felt settling was the right thing to do, and that the result, “overall is an outstanding one.” Under terms of the settlement, the lawsuit would be dropped in exchange for a $500 million payment. Minus court costs and fees for outside attorneys, Sullivan said the state public pension systems will get about $403 million. Payment is due within 60 days, and the state could revive its suit or file another if it isn’t paid, he said. But he said he has no reason to believe it won’t be. Mercer confirmed the settlement, in which it expressly denies liability. It said $100 million of the $500 million would be covered by insurance. In a statement, Mercer said it decided a settlement was in the best interests of the company because of the uncertainty of the outcome of a jury trial. “Mercer is committed to serving its clients worldwide with the highest level of service and professionalism,” the statement said.

Coast Guard tells BP to speed up efforts to contain spill ORANGE BEACH, Ala. (AP) — The Coast Guard has demanded that BP step up its efforts to contain the oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico by the end of the weekend, telling the British oil giant that its slow pace in stopping the spill is becoming increasingly alarming as the disaster fouled the coastline in ugly new ways Saturday. The Coast Guard sent a letter to BP’s chief operating officer that said the company urgently needs to pick up the pace and present a better plan to contain the spill by the time President Barack Obama arrives on Monday for his fourth visit to the beleaguered coast. The letter, released Saturday, follows nearly two months of tense relations between BP and the government and reflects the growing frustration over the company’s inability to stop the largest environmental disaster in U.S. history. The dispute escalated on the same day that ominous new signs of the tragedy emerged on the beaches of Alabama. Waves of unsightly brown surf hit the shores in Orange Beach, leaving stinking, dark piles of oil that dried in the hot sun and extended up to 12 feet from the water’s edge for as far as the eye could see. It was the worst hit yet to Alabama beaches. Tar-like globs have washed up periodically throughout the disaster, but Saturday’s pollution was significantly worse. “This is awful,” said Shelley Booker of Shreveport, La., who was staying in a condominium with her teenage daughter and her friends near the deserted beach

challenge, every effort must be expended to speed up the process,” Watson said in the letter addressed to chief operating officer Doug Suttles. “We’ve got a team of people looking to see, can we accelerate some items that are in that plan and is it possible to do more,” Suttles said in a brief interview after speaking to workers at a command center where he thanked BP employees and contractors for their work in cleaning up

the spill. “There are some real challenges to do that, including safety.” Suttles also acknowledged that “there’s big frustrations out there. They’re out there in the community, they’re out there in government, they’re out there everywhere. And I think they’re all rooted in the fact that none of us want this to happen. And none of us want this to occur, and we all want it to get fixed now.” Obama is set to visit the

Gulf Coast on Monday and Tuesday. On Saturday, Obama reassured British Prime Minister David Cameron that his frustration over the oil spill in the Gulf was not an attack on Britain. The two leaders spoke by phone for 30 minutes Saturday. Cameron also has been under pressure to get Obama to tone down the criticism, fearing it will hurt the millions of British retirees holding BP stock that has taken a beating recently.

about 100 miles from the site of the spill. Scientists have estimated that anywhere between about 40 million gallons to more than 100 million gallons of oil have spewed into the Gulf since a drilling rig exploded April 20, killing 11 workers. The latest cap installed on the blown-out well is capturing about 650,000 gallons of oil a day, but large quantities are still spilling into the sea. The Coast Guard initially sent a letter to BP on Wednesday asking for more details on its plans to contain the oil. BP responded, saying a new system to trap much more oil should be complete by midJuly. That system’s new design is meant to better withstand the force of hurricanes and could capture about 2 million gallons of oil daily when finished, the company said. But Coast Guard Rear Adm. James A. Watson said in a follow-up letter Friday he was concerned that BP’s plans were inadequate, especially in light of revised esti-

mates this week that indicated the size of the spill could be up to twice as large as previously thought. “BP must identify in the next 48 hours additional leak containment capacity that could be operationalized and expedited to avoid the continued discharge of oil ...

Strike by Spirit Airlines pilots leaves thousands stranded Associated Press

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A strike by Spirit Airlines pilots has shut down the discount carrier, stranding thousands of travelers. The walkout, which began Saturday, forced the airline to cancel its flights Saturday and today. Its CEO said no talks were scheduled with picketing pilots. Spirit carries 16,680 passengers per day — about 1 percent of the U.S. total — mostly between the eastern U.S. and the Caribbean and Latin America. But its shutdown is causing major problems for its flyers. Spirit tickets are only good on a handful of other carriers, and only if there’s space on the flight. The airline said it was refunding fares for Saturday flights plus a $100 credit toward future flights. It was trying to get its passengers booked onto other airlines. People who needed to replace their Spirit tickets found the cost of same-day fares on other airlines was two- to three times more than

their tickets. That was out of the question for Junior Elliott, a 67year-old mason from St. Ann’s parish in Jamaica, who was stranded in Fort Lauderdale while traveling to New York for a cousin’s funeral. Elliott was unable to buy new tickets until his fare was refunded to his debit card. He had no cell phone, no U.S. currency, and nowhere to sleep but the terminal’s seats. “It’s bad now, man,” Elliott said. “I can’t even buy a cup of coffee.” Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is Spirit’s main hub, where it is the only airline to 14 international cities and five U.S. destinations, said airport spokesman Greg Meyer. Around the country Spirit runs roughly 150 flights per day. The Spirit terminal, usually the busiest in Fort Lauderdale, was full of angry travelers desperate to return home or start trips on Saturday. Extra Spirit staff and local police officers were posted in the ticketing area. Spirit CEO Ben Baldanza said in an interview that he

hoped to get some of Spirit’s 31 aircraft flying soon with management pilots or others who cross the picket line, but that no such flights took place on Saturday. He said Spirit has lined up one airplane from another air carrier — he declined to say which one — to complete a few flights. He was hoping to add other carriers in the days ahead. Spirit pilots have said their pay lags competitors such as AirTran Airways and JetBlue. The airline and its pilots had been negotiating for more than three years. Pilots “will not return to the cockpit until a fair and equitable contract is negotiated,” Sean Creed, a Spirit captain and head of its Air Line Pilots Association unit, said in a statement on the union’s website. The privately held airline based in Miramar, Fla. has about 440 active pilots. Airline analyst Vaughn Cordle said Spirit pilots made more per hour of flying in 2009 in wages and benefits than AirTran pilots, but less than JetBlue. Baldanza, the CEO, said

He said he knew its pilots would need raises. The company offered to raise pilot pay by 30 percent over five years, although work rule changes mean pilots would have to fly more to earn that money. Spirit’s offer also kept a four-day break between every pilot trip, something the company said no other ALPA contract has. The offer also included a $3,000 signing bonus and a larger retirement plan match. The strike is being closely

watched in the industry because pilots at much larger carriers, including AMR Corp.’s American Airlines, are also locked in tough negotiations. The last strike at a major carrier was in 2005, when Northwest Airlines mechanics walked off the job rather than accept deep pay cuts. The strike failed after Northwest replaced them.

NEW YORK (AP) — A striking black-and-white photograph of the majestic Bridalveil waterfall is among numerous that landscape photographer Ansel Adams took with Polaroid film — a technology many celebrated artists embraced to produce innovative and surprising works. The mural-sized iconic image, “Bridalveil Fall, Yosemite,” is going on the auction block at a pre-sale estimate of $70,000 to $100,000. “It is the largest and best collection of works by Ansel Adams to ever come on the market,” said Sotheby’s photography expert Denise Bethel. The image is among 1,000 Polaroid and gelatin silver prints by some of the biggest names in 20th-century photography being offered at Sotheby’s. The 1,000 images are estimated to bring $7.5 million to $11 million.

Sunday, June 13 Big things could come to you in small packages in the year ahead. For example, you are likely to become involved with a small but wonderful group of friends who'll not only satisfy your restless spirit, but all your social needs as well. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — It's likely that you will be particularly strong in areas where financial problem-solving is a must. If involved in a group endeavor or a family situation, let the clan know what you're thinking. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — You have a natural gift for being able to quickly remedy sticky situations that arise out of nowhere. Companions will be most appreciative of this asset you possess. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Pay close attention to those natural-born insights you often get, especially those that are persistent. Your intuitive faculties are trying to tell you something that your logic is failing to perceive. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Strive to maintain high standards within your full range of involvements, even with the little things that no one tends to notice. Applying good principles will put you in the winner's circle. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Without even trying, you'll have an aura of authority that will automatically make others follow your lead. Don't be surprised that when you look back, a crowd will be following you. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Being nonjudgmental is what will make your involvements with others so successful. Neither their shortcomings or mistakes will disturb you, nor will you be awed by their great attributes. Sagitarrius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Changes brought about by outside factors won't necessarily be disturbing to you or appear to be too exciting. However, by day's end you're likely to feel like you've had quite a time. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Diplomacy and tact are two of the greatest tools you can use to ward off or minimize any complications that might otherwise develop. Use them freely. Aqurius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Simply by settling down to business when called for, and not letting frivolous involvements sidetrack you from what needs doing, you will have a very productive day. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — The quality of your companionship will be of far greater significance to you than being surrounded by a quantity of friends. Actually the fewer people around you, the better you'll like it. Aries (March 21-April 19) — You should find that you are both a good starter and a good finisher, so take on those jobs that once begun must be completed the same day. You won't leave anything hanging. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Keep an open mind when discussing an arrangement in which you're involved. If changes need to be made, don't hesitate to explore all avenues as to the best way to go about doing so. UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE, INC.

Conan, comedians play rock stars at Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival long, friendly history with O’Brien. After years of appearing on his shows, it was O’Brien’s turn to play on the band’s turf. On Thursday night, O’Brien performed a rockabilly set at Nashville’s Third Man Records, the label owned by Jack White. The show was recorded and will be released on vinyl. For years Bonnaroo has included somewhat of a mini comedy festival, with about a dozen comedy acts alongside its 100 music acts. When Chris Rock came to Bonnaroo in 2008, he played the much larger main stage. Ashley Capps, co-founder of Bonnaroo and president of festival co-producer AC Entertainment, said organizers discussed putting O’Brien’s show on another stage but decided the comedy tent made the most sense, partly because of its video segments. The show was broadcast on screens in two other tents, as well. Martin made the banjo a central part of his standup act decades ago, but bluegrass has in recent years become a more serious endeavor to him. Last year, he released “The Crow: New Songs for the 5-String Banjo,” which won a Grammy earlier this year for best bluegrass album. “It’s been a longtime goal of mine to play bluegrass at Bonnaroo,” Martin deadpanned to the eager crowd. “Tonight, I feel like I am one step closer to that goal.” The young audience, most of whom weren’t particularly versed in bluegrass, waited patiently through the

songs, enjoying the lilting, old-timey sounds of Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers. But they guffawed at Martin’s dry quips in between. “You realize I have not Googled myself for over 30 minutes,” said Martin, shortly after consulting his set list on an iPad. Of course, there were plain old musicians at Bonnaroo too. The southern rock band Kings of Leon headlined the main stage Friday night, JayZ took the stage Saturday and Dave Matthews Band will close the festival today. Brooklyn’s the National, a band not necessarily known for raucousness, worked up a frenzy, performing an expansive set that included horns and strings.

sic festival. If one wandered into O’Brien’s act during his earnest encore of the Band’s “The Weight” — when he leapt from the stage and walked through the crowd — his show may have appeared to be just another music act. But there were plenty of jokes, too. “In six months, I’ve gone from hosting the ‘Tonight Show,’ to performing at a refugee camp,” O’Brien announced at the top of the show. Bonnaroo draws 75,000plus fans to a giant farm south of Nashville. Heavy rain the day before the festival opened Thursday night muddied the grounds, though excessive heat dominated Friday’s performances. This year’s Bonnaroo, the ninth annual, is on track to be one of the hottest. The heat index — a combination of temperature and humidity — is forecast to be near 100 for much of the weekend. O’Brien made light of the surroundings and of the experience playing his first music festival — “unless you count the time I went stage diving at the Lilith Fair,” he joked. “I love doing comedy in a tent, at one in the afternoon, for people who haven’t slept in two days,” O’Brien said wryly. O’Brien is a talented guitarist (he has often worked guitar-playing into his late-night shows), and he flashed his skills with a solo on the White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army.” He was backed by most of his “Tonight Show” band. The White Stripes have a

MANCHESTER, Tenn. (AP) — Comedians were living out their rock star (or bluegrass star) dreams throughout the first full day of the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival. And they showed they can carry a tune, too. Conan O’Brien started the day with a 1 p.m. performance in which he often traded a microphone for a guitar. Later, Jack Black’s Tenacious D took Bonnaroo’s enormous main stage, a fittingly grand backdrop for their mock, over-the-top theatrics. And Steve Martin performed with his bluegrass band, the Steep Canyon Rangers, for a set where bluegrass was the main attraction, and one-liners merely between-song banter. While all of them used comedy in their music to varying degrees, they were also sincere about rocking out. O’Brien, the former “Tonight Show,” host, brought his “Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television” tour to the Tennessee music festival. He played to a packed comedy tent that, before he hit the stage, chanted “CoCo” — the nickname that he earned during his “Tonight Show” run and became the rallying cry for his fans when NBC ousted him. As O’Brien has done throughout his cross-country tour, he frequently rocked out, performing songs by Elvis, the Band, the White Stripes, Willie Nelson and others. The lanky, red-haired O’Brien fit in well at the mu-

How I got here: Part 7 This is an excerpt from “Outside Insight,” a blog by webmaster and Oregon native Jeremy Judd. This is part of an online series in which Judd recounts the adventurous journey that took him and his wife, Peg, from Oregon to Charleston, S.C., and finally to Salisbury.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Korean War veterans Henry F. Reed, 78, of Butte, Montana, left, and Lynne A. Freeman, 87, of Concord, Calif., right, talk as veterans of the 2nd Infantry Division and the 5th Regimental Combat Team, listen during a recent tour of a war monument at Dabu-Ri, South Korea. Some were among the troops who held out in mid-1950 on the last-ditch ‘Pusan Perimeter,’ staving off final North Korean conquest of the south. June 25 marks the 60th anniversary of the beginning of the war.

Unforgotten war 60 years later, ex-GIs live with scars, memories of Korea BY CHARLES HANLEY Associated Press

AEGWAN, South Korea — The old soldier stood erect on the riverbank, his cane at his side, a baseball cap emblazoned “2nd Infantry Division” square above his brow. He looked out, then turned away from the slow, silty Naktong. “I’ve seen this river before,” Carroll Garland said. “I don’t want to remember. Too many memories.” The war that began in Korea 60 years ago, on June 25, 1950, a ghastly conflict that killed millions and left the peninsula in ruins, became “The Forgotten War” in many American minds. To a shrinking corps of aging men, however, the soldiers of Korea 1950-53, it can never be forgotten. It damaged many physically, scarred many mentally, and left men questioning their commanders’ and their nation’s wisdom. They fought many enemies — not just the North Koreans and Chinese, but also the heat, the killing cold and the cursed hills, the thirst, hunger and filth, the incompetence and hubris of their own army, and the indifference of an American homeland still fixed on the “good” war, World War II, that had ended five years earlier. Remembering Korea today may be painful, as ex-sergeant Garland, 81, of Oxon Hill, Md., can attest. But when such men get together, the freeze frames of war’s horrors and miseries, of lost comrades and paralyzing dread, inevitably emerge in sharp focus. “At the reunions, they talk about it,” said Lucille Macek, 76, wife of Shawnee, Kan., veteran Victor Macek. “And then they break down.” In a wartime arc of desperation, triumph, retreat and final stalemate in Korea, no U.S. division sacrificed as much as the 2nd Infantry Division, losing more than 7,000 killed, onefifth of total U.S. dead. And it is the 2nd Infantry Division that still stands guard over South Korea today. Two days spent with a “2nd ID” group on a 60th-anniversary visit to old battlefields opened a window on the men and events of a lifetime ago, when what happened here, on

It simply was better trained and better equipped, with Soviet-made T34 tanks. The U.S. government had shrunk the Army drastically after World War II, and training and equipment upgrades were neglected. As the 2nd Division sailed from Ft.

eg and I were were on the job hunt. We had resumes plastered all over the greater Charleston region. We sent them as far inland as Summerville. I sent resumes to North Charleston, West Ashley, James Island, Mount Pleasant, and all of the islands along the way, and at every business and job posting I could find anywhere. She did the same. The first phone call I received was from an accident attorney that offered me a job at his firm. I went to work the day after the phone call in a snazzy law firm in Mount Pleasant. The owner referred to me as a “Godsend” (to this day I have no idea why). First he wanted me to build JEREMY him a website. Then he JUDD wanted me to take private investigation courses from a local university (I got A’s — he paid for them. It was great). Then he decided I should put together presentations for him and run the slide show projector while he talked with his partners in nice restaurants (also not too bad, he paid for the food. I ate it). I spent time with him at his fancy home on the beach. He took Peg and me out in his boat. We saw dolphins. He played the harmonica and sang bar songs and we all drank beer together. It was sort of surreal. I had no idea what my job description was. But the money was enough for Peg and I to buy her a car. First, we bought an ’88 Chevy pickup for $800. It burned more oil than gas. One day as Peg was driving home, the pickup blew the rear main seal. The engine promptly seized up and a responding tow truck pronounced it DOA. So we bought a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am. It ran fantastic for about two months. And then the engine burst into flames in a bank parking lot while we were waiting in line for the ATM. Fortunately, the person directly behind us in line was an insurance adjuster. He heard about cars catching on fire so often in his line of work that he carried a fire extinguisher in his pickup. He jumped out like Superman, popped the hood and extinguished the flames. The fire department had also responded to the scene of our mini-catastrophe. They called a friendly police officer and she gave us a ride back to our apartment. It was at that point, I think, riding home like criminals in the back of a police cruiser, that we both developed a sense of humor about our “great adventure.” As the months lingered on, I realized that (1) I had no job description and appeared to be doing less every day at the law firm; (2) that I was making very little money; and (3) that the combination of doing nothing all day, having no direction and making very little money was making me crazy. One day about five months after I started, the attorney called me into his office and told me I was not “performing to expectations.” “I have no idea what I am supposed to be doing here,” I replied. He looked at me with a somewhat confused expression on his face. Then he frowned. At that moment, I believe it occurred to him that he was not really sure what I was supposed to be doing, either. “I think we should just call it good,” I said. He nodded. “You can work here until you find another job,” he said. I worked part-time at the firm for the next two weeks before landing a job with the Moultrie News in Mount Pleasant. Again, I’d sent out so many resumes I couldn’t even remember what jobs I’d applied for. In fact, I had no idea that I had applied for a job as an advertising assistant with the paper until the actual job interview. In the meantime, Peg had been working for various chiropractors, and between the two of us we were scraping together enough money to pay the bills. Our contract with the apartment complex had ended, and we moved to a ramshackle disaster of a home near the beach on James Island that Peg referred to as our “cabin.” We bought a basset hound, and we added another cat to the family. The insurance company waived the deductible for our car because it caught on fire, and they paid us more than we owed on it. For the first time in nearly a year, our life together didn’t feel like it was in various stages of turmoil.

DEATH PENALTY

A question of punishment T

o the people clamoring for the death penalty to be considered in a recent double homicide, one might ask, “What death penalty?” North Carolina is among the 35 states that have the death penalty on the books, but a de facto moratorium has been in place for several years. While legal challenges have held up executions, the public’s attitude appears to have shifted away from supporting the death penalty. That was the conclusion of an Elon University poll, and prosecution numbers seem to bear that out. Fourteen years ago, there were 60 capital trials in North Carolina, more than half of which resulted in death sentences, according to the Center for Death Penalty Litigation in Durham. In 2009, the state had only nine capital trials; two ended with death sentences. The worst punishment is supposed to be reserved for the worst crimes, but recent high-profile murder cases that resulted in life sentences call that into question, according to a report in The News & Observer of Raleigh. Federal prosecutors accepted a plea arrangement with Demario Atwater in the murder of Eve Carson, the UNC-Chapel Hill student body president who was kidnapped from her home, driven around town for hours and shot in the street. And a Wake County jury gave a life sentence to Samuel J. Cooper, convicted of five first-degree murders. “You look at that case as a prosecutor and say, ‘If you can’t get the death penalty in that case, gee, what case are you going to get the death penalty in?” prosecutor Jim Woodall told the News & Observer. Good question. The state's revised capital punishment law, effective since mid1977, allows the death penalty for first degree murder, defined as willful, deliberate and premeditated killing or killing while committing another felony. Some 157 people whose crimes fit that description now sit on Central Prison’s Death Row, including four from Rowan County. But few may join them this year; seating a jury that accepts and will give the death penalty has become increasingly difficult. Cases that turned out to be wrongful convictions have added to the public’s growing ambivalence about the ultimate sentence. And a new law on the books, the Racial Justice Act, may further complicate capital cases. At this rate, the death penalty may become extinct instead of erased.

est assured, gentle folk of Salisbury. When a book of photographs of Salisbury and its environs is published later this year, it will be tasteful, artistic and full of the historic landmarks and charming cityscapes that define Salisbury. Along with lovely old homes, stately churches and signature images like the Bell Tower, it will include a picture or two of Hap’s, the city’s famed CHRIS downtown hotVERNER dog and burger emporium — how could it not? — but it will not include a photo of PMS Firearms. The group of seven photographerers who traveled to Salisbury recently did shoot the well-known sign on N.C. 150, Marshall Hurley acknowledges, but they did it just for fun. It was a light-hearted break in what was otherwise a diligent weekend of serious work. The photographers visited during the first weekend in May, taking photos of some 80 or so sites in and around Salisbury. “We took more than 4,000 pictures in about 48 hours,” says Hurley, co-founder of the company doing the book. Even in the era of digital imagery, that’s a lot of clicks, especially when you figure that only a slice of those pictures will eventually make it into the book, expected to be published later this summer. The photographers wanted to make sure they captured the essence of each building, landscape or person, Hurley noted. That means photographing

each subject from multiple perspectives, using different exposures and distances, exploring different combinations of light and shadow. “These are are very, very skilled photographers,” Hurley said. “They’ll take 100 photographs to get the right one.” Hurley and his partner in the project, Rob Moseley of Raleigh, who operates a printing business, are co-founders of My Hometown Book, LLC. The Salisbury book is their inaugural project, the first of what they anticipate as a series of photo books about North Carolina locales. The other photographers contributing to the project are Dan Beauvais of Kitty Hawk; Danny Levenson of Apex; Kyle Cook of Albemarle; Ledra Davis of Atlanta; and Tamela Graef of Cary. What drew the group together and led to the germination of the project, Hurley says, was a combination of passion for photography and the desire to document unique aspects of North Carolina. Most of those in the group, like Hurley, have careers in other fields but pursue photography as a passion and secondary avocation. Although Hurley isn’t from Salisbury — he hails from Greensboro, where he’s an attorney — he had relatives in this area, and he came to know Salisbury through child-

hood visits to their farm. (He’s distantly related to the Hurley family that formerly owned the Salisbury Post). He’s been interested in photography since childhood and began seriously pursuing it a decade or so ago. The group of photographers initially met as workshop students and then began traveling around the state together, visiting and photographing sites such as the Outer Banks and Pisgah National Forest. “We were doing this casually and informally,” Marshall says. “Then we thought, ‘OK, we’ve been getting this instruction and having fun as a group. What could we do that would be meaningful? Why not go to one place and really capture the images that touch people’s hearts and memories?” The group kicked around possible sites for several months before settling on Salisbury. “We wanted to go to a place that’s sort of the heart of North Carolina, that has a phenomenal history and pride in preserving that history. It became obvious where we should start.” Although the choice might seem obvious in retrospect, Hurley jokingly recalls that everyone wasn’t initially convinced. When he first nominated Salisbury, his friend Moseley was somewhat skeptical. “Rob said, ‘I thought that was just a stop on the inter-

state going to Charlotte.’ I said, ‘You need to think again.’ ” Hurley credits Randy Hemann, executive director of Downtown Salisbury Inc., and his staff with helping to coordinate logistics at this end and serving as a guide to local landmarks. Hemann had solicited suggestions from the community through a column in the Post. Ultimately, he and his staff mapped out almost 80 sites, Hurley said, and the photographers visited almost all of them. Even so, they’re planning a return visit this month, to photograph additional sites as well as reshoot a few of the previous ones. Hurley said that Downtown Salisbury Inc. will receive a portion of profits from the book, but he acknowledges this type of book isn’t likely to be a blockbuster that makes a lot of money. “It won’t send my kids to college.” It’s more a labor of love — one that is being self-financed out of the photographers’ own pockets. He and the others hope the endeavor will at least be self-sustaining and enable them to move on to another small to medium-sized city rich in photogenic treasures. Wherever the lens may point next, Hurley’s enthusiasm for Salisbury is obvious, and he’s confident about the decision to focus here first. “We couldn’t be more excited or pleased. People opened their doors for us. We knew we’d made the right choice about where to come shoot our first book.” • • • Chris Verner is editorial page editor of the Salisbury Post.

Common sense

BP spill is the Chernobyl of offshore drilling

“Self pity is easily the most destructive of the non-pharmaceutical narcotics; it is addictive, gives momentary pleasure and separates the victim from reality.”

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

— John W. Gardner

Moderately Confused

ASHINGTON — Just when it doesn’t seem it can get any worse, it

does. Irate legislators have heard that one man who has a legitimate claim against BP tried more than 80 times to telephone BP and never got an answer. Another fishing family, which can verify earning $27,000 last May and nothing this May, got a check for $5,000. The CEO of BP, Tony Hayward, famously said he just ANN to get on MCFEATTERS wants with his life. Those mourning the lost lives of the 11 people who died when the oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico exploded will ponder that statement the rest of their lives. President Barack Obama, who now is expected to meet with Hayward, was asked if Hayward would have been fired if he worked for Obama. Obama said flatly that Hayward wouldn’t be working for him after his statements. We’re even being told by

journalists trying to cover the disaster that BP is still not cooperating and sometimes even hampering them from doing their job. The New York Times reported that a photographer for The Times-Picayune of New Orleans, which clearly has an interest in what is happening off its shores, was refused permission to fly over the spill to photograph it. The government is not much better at getting the story out to the public. Even a senator trying to take journalists out into the Gulf to see the spill was told by government officials that they couldn’t go on a Coast Guard boat because elected officials and journalists are not permitted on the same “federal asset” at the same time. That is poppycock. Journalists fly on Air Force One all the time. Reporters trying to document damage from the spill have even been ordered off public beaches by BP contractors or risk arrest. Somebody will write (probably already is writing) an eyeopening book about BP and all it did/is doing wrong. It will be a stellar example for businesses not even formed yet of how not to handle a crisis. BP

makes billions of dollars every quarter and hires legions of lawyers and PR people. How could they have messed up so badly? Why are they still messing up? Public Relations 101 dictates not covering up the problem. BP officials did that from the beginning, trying to say the spill itself was not that bad. They insisted they could handle the leak and the cleanup. They couldn’t. They promised they would compensate everyone who has a legitimate claim of loss. Hah! BP officials took out fullpage newspaper ads promising that they would take responsibility for everything. It seems they meant they would take responsibility for trying to keep their profits reasonably intact. Scientists who have devoted their careers to fighting oil pollution say they can’t reach BP officials to make suggestions. Scientists further complain they can’t even get straight answers to questions to BP to ascertain the facts. It was a full three weeks before BP even released the shocking video indicating the extent of the spill was far greater than the company indicated. Ramifications from the spill

get more horrifying every day: Failing businesses, families forced into bankruptcy, lost wildlife, higher energy bills, lost wetlands, spoiled beaches, destroyed coral reefs and consequences scientists are just beginning to study. In a few weeks, BP’s unseemly response to the spill has lost the company the favorable image it worked on for years. BP is now an unpleasant joke. Everybody has a suggestion for what BP stands for, from Beyond Profits to Bills (not) Paid to Beyond Petroleum. It is no exaggeration to say that BP has done to offshore oil drilling what Chernobyl and Three-Mile Island did to nuclear power. And it will probably take just as long for the repercussions to fade. It’s astonishing that the White House waited for more than 50 days to summon Hayward to provide explanations to the president. I think we can all come up with some things the president should say in return to BP’s man on the spot. • • • Scripps Howard columnist Ann McFeatters has covered the White House and national politics since 1986.

Battle brews on enrollment limitation R

ALEIGH — Whether last year or last decade, state leaders have responded to financial crises without sacrificing one sacred budget cow — public university enrollment growth. But the untouchable has just been touched. The state House has passed a budget that would cap enrollment growth at the 16 University of North Carolina campuses at 1 percent during the 2011-12 school year. The decision is sure to start a fight with the state Senate, the longtime protector of the SCOTT university MOONEYHAM system. Maybe the fight was inevitable. Legislators can’t do anything to control enrollment increases in the public schools. Schoolage children in North Carolina have a constitutional right to a free, public school education. With the economy in its current state, legislators also aren’t keen on keeping people from adding job skills at the state’s community colleges, where per-student costs are lower. But legislators can cap university enrollment, keeping the number of students at UNC system schools at or near their current numbers. The savings can be pretty substantial. In the coming fiscal year, the state will spend nearly $60 million to allow the number of students enrolled to grow by about 3 percent. University officials — including North Carolina’s near-saint of higher education, president emeritus Bill Friday — say the move is unprecedented and will have the effect of limiting access. They’re right. But when UNC Board of Governors chair Hannah Gage says limiting access goes against everything the system stands for, she’s not exactly right. There are different ways to limit access. Jacking up tuition at rates faster than inflation, as the system schools have done over the past 15 years, is one way. Measuring yourself against private schools like Harvard, Stanford and Vanderbilt is another. The effect is to curb the number of students who come from middle-class backgrounds. The House’s means of curbing access would presumably cause schools to raise the academic cut-off for admissions. Students who didn’t make it in would do so because they didn’t measure up academically, not socio-economically. Still, Friday is right. Curbing access to the universities by any means is hardly a good choice. The enrollment increases at the state’s public universities are essentially keeping pace with increases in the number of graduates coming out of North Carolina high schools. From 2003 to 2008, the annual number of high school graduates rose by 17.3 percent. During that same period, UNC system enrollment rose 17.8 percent. From 2009 to 2018, the state Department of Public Instruction projects a 16percent rise in the number of high school graduates. But if an enrollment cap is unprecedented, so are the state’s financial woes. House budget writers didn’t have many good choices. And wouldn’t it be nice to see the folks over in Chapel Hill turn tuition into the same kind of sacred cow that enrollment increase money has become? Native North Carolinians over the age of 40 can remember when that was actually the case. • • • Scott Mooneyham writes about state government for Capitol Press Association.

‘Mama Grizzlies’ on the trail

AWLEYS ISLAND, S.C. — Is this the year of the Mama Grizzlies? The answer is a clear, resounding maybe. Sarah Palin coined the phrase to describe an “emerging, conservative feminist identity” among Republican women running for higher office. Several female candidates who received her endorsement — or fit her definition — scored impressive victories in primary elections last Tuesday. Other “Mama STEVE AND COKIE ROBERTS Grizzlies” won tough primaries earlier this year or are running well in states that have yet to vote. Without a doubt, Republican women are more energized and enthusiastic than their Democratic counterparts this year, and Palin has a lot to do with that. In describing a “Mama Grizzly,” she was of course describing herself, and in state after state, commentators are asking whether their homegrown talent will be Nevada’s or South Carolina’s or New Mexico’s version of Alaska’s former governor. But these “MGs” face two problems when it comes to the fall elections, and both have to do with arithmetic. First, a hard-edged conservative creed plays well in Republican primaries, but will it win over the swing voters who usually decide statewide contests? Their second problem is the contradiction that lies at the heart of Palin’s low-tax, lessgovernment, anti-Washington theology. That litany sounds great in theory, but as the oil spill in the gulf and the economic collapse on Wall Street

demonstrate, only the federal government has the ability to counterbalance powerful economic interests — and clean up the mess when they fail. Then there’s the economic crisis facing the states. The same Republican governors who cheer on Palinism are pleading with Washington to plug gaping holes in their state budgets. Where are those federal dollars going to come from if an anti-tax obsession cripples Washington’s ability to raise revenues? Still, the Mama Grizzlies are for real. In California, Carly Fiorina, a wealthy business executive, profited from Palin’s endorsement and won the chance to face Sen. Barbara Boxer in the fall. Certainly Fiorina’s fortune was more critical to the outcome than Palin’s favor, but being dubbed an “MG” gave Fiorina credibility among hard-line conservatives who might have backed one of her opponents, Tea Party favorite Chuck DeVore. In Nevada, Sharron Angle, a former state legislator, did not have Palin’s backing in her successful run for the Republican nomination to challenge Sen. Harry Reid in November. But Angle was clearly channeling her inner Palin when she told a Washington audience: “You know, I feel a little lonely today. I usually bring Smith and Wesson along.” In New Mexico, county prosecutor Susana Martinez was locked in a tight race for the gubernatorial nomination when Palin blessed her candidacy in mid-May. Two weeks later, she scored a narrow victory and gave the Republicans a valuable political commodity: a Hispanic woman who colors in the party’s pale, male outline. In New Hampshire, Kelly Ayotte, a former attorney general, is running for the Senate nomination in a September primary, and the Daily Beast headlined its story on her: “The

LETTERS What would Jesus do on Earth today? Today, if Jesus were on Earth, would he be a Democrat or a Republican? Whose side would he take? My guess is he would be an independent, or maybe he would not take a side. What would he think about socialism and redistribution of wealth? If he wouldn’t make a statement, then we would have to assume his position based on his teachings. Consider the following teachings by Jesus. 1. Take what you have and distribute it among the poor. (How much do you have to have?) 2. It’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 3. The rich man lifted up his eyes in hell and asked Lazarus to put a drop of water on his tongue. Are we wrong in trying to reap the American dream, or should we use what it takes for us to live and give the rest to the world’s poor? Maybe a Christian capitalist

Next Sarah Palin?” The comparisons are striking: Ayotte is 41, the mother of two small children and the wife of an Iraqi war vet who started a small landscaping and snowplowing business. She’s now the favorite to face Democrat Paul Hodes in the fall. One of the most intriguing Mama Grizzlies is here in South Carolina. Nikki Haley was an obscure state legislator when she decided to challenge three better-known men in the Republican primary for governor. Her campaign took off after Palin endorsed her as “the scrappy underdog in a tough, competitive primary.” After two men claimed to have had sexual relations with Haley, Palin recorded a taped phone message urging voters to ignore the allegations: “They come after you with all kinds of made-up nonsense to try to knock you down. Believe me. I’ve been there.” It was a classic Mama Grizzly response, and on the eve of the election, Trudy Martin, a retired nurse told the Washington Post that Haley “is like Sarah Palin. Sarah told them to take a hike — the oil companies, the crooked Republicans. Nikki can do the same.” Haley garnered 49 percent of the vote on Tuesday and is the heavy favorite to win a runoff later this month. Not all these Mama Grizzlies will win in November. Like Palin herself, they have to demonstrate their ability to reach beyond their conservative base and attract moderate voters who don’t think of “government” as a four-letter word. But they have already left their claw marks on the politics of 2010. • • • Steve Roberts’ new book, “From Every End of This Earth” (HarperCollins), was published this fall.

ASHINGTON — John Wooden was asked once how much he was paid playing professional basketball. He replied that he received $5 a game except one time when it was $100 — the night he made his 100th consecutive free throw. That ultimately stretched to 138 before the ball failed to perform the way he wanted. That record still stands. The only things at the free throw line that have changed in the game since the three quarters of a century since Wooden earned his big money are the enormous salaries current professionals “earn” for their abysmal foul shooting. The basket is the same height and distance from the line as it was in Wooden’s day. It is the lesson the movie “Hoosiers” successfully imparts when the coach enters DAN was then the cavernous THOMASSON what Butler Fieldhouse, pulls out a tape measure and has two of his team’s players measure the height of the basket, announcing that it is the same as in their tiny town’s minuscule gymnasium. That message was right out of Wooden’s book for living. Success is never measured by superficial differences like the size of the arena where one plays. Wooden’s incredible proficiency at the “charity stripe” was a metaphor for a life of unparalleled achievement from humble beginnings to records as a player, a teacher and a coach of young men that are likely never to be equaled. All this is being said over and over again and far better than I can in the rush to commemorate the passing of the man called the “Wizard of Westwood,” a nickname, by the way, he never liked. Horatio Alger, eat your heart out. I never knew John Wooden although he was a household name in Indiana even when I was a kid. My high ASSOCIATED PRESS school athletic caCoach John Wooden, shown reer was here celebrating UCLA’s 1975 spent in NCAA championship victory over Kentucky, died recently at the same Southern age 99. Indiana conference as his and on numerous occasions I played in Martinsville’s quite large gymnasium that he had graced 25 years earlier. It was known even then as the “House that Wooden built,” a reference to the fact that the big building in the small town was constructed to hold the throngs that wanted to see him play. His coach was the brilliant Glenn Curtis, one of those incomparable early developers of the game we always acknowledged was invented in Massachusetts but insisted was perfected in Indiana high schools. That group included Cliff Welles, Everett Case, Earnest “Griz” Wagner, and too many more to name. They were teachers all. I certainly did know a number of people who knew Wooden and who had played against him in high school and college and coached against him when he was teaching at South Bend Central High. They never had anything but admiration and kind words for him. That included my uncle who was the head coach at Evansville’s elite Benjamin Bosse High School, another traditional powerhouse. When the legendary Robert “Fuzzy” Vandivier of the Franklin “Wonder Five” of High School and College and a teammate of my uncle’s was inducted into the Naismith National Basketball Hall of Fame, Wooden made the inaugural address. It was pure Wooden, attributing his own early success to Vandivier, several years older, as his inspiration. Their styles and abilities both as coaches and players weren’t all that different. I can tell you that because I played against Vandivier teams and knew him well as my father’s college roommate. With all the accolades for this exceptional person — his incomparable feats as a player, coach and motivator — it was John Wooden’s innate decency and obvious care for others that impressed me most. He dropped around for the semifinals of the big one-class Indiana high school tournament sometime after retiring from UCLA and was asked to come up to the broadcast booth. As he watched and conversed with the announcers, the game wound down to zero and a player on the free throw line with a two shot chance to tie or win. He missed them both. “Oh my goodness!” the great coach fairly shouted. “Someone go hug that boy quickly.” That was Wooden. • • • Dan K.

Oil spill could boost clean-energy effort I

f there was any doubt about it, the Gulf oil catastrophe demonstrates conclusively what would happen if the country got hit with another terrorist attack: Americans would start pointing fingers at one another, starting with the president. It’s been a fixation of the media and many Republicans to make the spill MORTON into President KONDRACKE Barack Obama’s “Katrina” or his Iran hostage crisis, with TV commentators counting the days since BP’s well began fouling the Gulf of Mexico. Some right-wingers previously furious at “government takeovers” of this and that have swiveled to demand to know why Obama didn’t “do more” to stop the oil flow. And the left has been using the crisis to allege that the spill is the fault of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, who sold out the federal government to Big Oil. Environmentalists want to use the spill to put a halt to all offshore oil and gas drilling, even though the United States depends on oil for 40 percent of its energy needs and hundreds of offshore rigs operate safely around the world. On top of all that, there’s the drama criticism: Is Obama “angry” enough or “empathetic” enough? In response to public rage at BP, the administration is threatening criminal action in the case even as it’s forced to rely on the oil company to stop the oil flow and pay for the cleanup. Obama, while furiously shipping resources to the scene and visiting himself, is determined to use the crisis to pass his previously dead climate change agenda, now redubbed “clean energy,” with the emphasis on capand-trade limits on carbon. Republicans are determined to block that, labeling it “cap and tax” and claiming it will cost jobs in a recession, even though the main bill on the agenda, sponsored by Sens. John Kerry, DMass., and Joe Lieberman, ID-Conn., doesn’t take effect until 2013. At the moment, according to a Washington Post/ABC poll, the public rates the federal response to this disaster worse than its handling of the 2005 Katrina hurricane — largely because that’s the way Republicans look at it, by a margin of 20 points. Obama is as dependent on BP to handle the spill as Bush was on the inept former governor of Louisiana and mayor of New Orleans. There are legitimate questions about whether Obama should be depending on BP for estimates of the volume of the spill, whether enough equipment has been deployed and whether the government was slow in agreeing to Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal’s (R) request to get barrier islands built to protect his state’s coastline. What really counts, though, is whether Obama can get Democrats and Republicans to agree on constructive energy and environmental policies that will reduce dependence on foreign sources and move away from polluting fuels. Obama claims he will be able to persuade at least a few Republicans to back the Kerry-Lieberman bill, though none is in sight so far. Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.), who helped write it, has pulled away — though he has not condemned its contents. Lieberman aides say their bill was specifically designed to be business-friendly and Republican-friendly, expanding nuclear power and offshore drilling and imposing no energy taxes until 2030. Indeed, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has been neutral on it, and it’s been endorsed by oil companies, natural gas and wind advocate T. Boone Pickens, the nuclear power industry, and the Edison Electric Institute,

as well as environmental groups. Still, according to the Senate’s No. 3 Republican, Lamar Alexander (Tenn.), the bill is “premature, unwise and doesn’t have a chance of passing the Senate.” He claims it would put caps on carbon emissions at electric utilities before they have figured out how to develop low-cost means to capture or reuse carbon from coal, which produces 50 percent of U.S. electricity. “There is plenty of clean energy legislation that Congress could pass in 2010 instead of cap-and-trade,” he said, including several bills he’s introduced. With Sen. Jim Webb, DVa., Alexander has proposed extending $100 billion in loan guarantees to noncarbon energy projects, which he thinks will lead to construction of 100 nuclear plants over the next 20 years. A centerpiece of Democratic legislation is likely to be a bill sponsored by Energy and Natural Resources Chairman Jeff Bingaman (N.M.), imposing standards for utilities to use “renewable” fuel sources. Alexander says that nuclear power, which supplies 20 percent of U.S. electricity, is excluded in that bill in favor of wind and solar power, which produce 2 percent. Another bill that Alexander is co-sponsoring with Democratic Sens. Byron Dorgan (N.D.) and Jeff Merkley (Ore.) would promote rapid development of electric cars and plug-in technology. And, he said, Republicans would advance such projects as converting carbon from coal into gasoline or limestone pellets for building materials — “making capand-trade a dinosaur method of reducing emissions.” The good news from the Gulf spill — if there is any — is that Obama is not yielding to pressure to close down offshore drilling, as expansion of nuclear power was stopped after a nonfatal accident at Three Mile Island in 1979. Other good news is that the spill could lead to action on clean energy legislation — if Republicans and Democrats can stop fingerpointing at each other. • • • Morton Kondracke is executive editor of Roll Call, the newspaper of Capitol Hill.

KOREA FROM 1D

scarce, soldiering became misery. “Those weeks seemed like a lifetime,” said House, of Bonne Terre, Mo. Time and again, the 2nd and other U.S. and South Korean divisions held the North Koreans off, sometimes fighting hand-to-hand, at great cost to the defenders and even greater cost to the North Koreans. Finally, on Sept. 15, 1950, U.S. amphibious forces landed at Inchon, far to the North Koreans’ rear, cutting them off from their supplies and recapturing Seoul from the invaders. That set off a race north by the Pusan Perimeter divisions, a “breakout” whose momentum carried them by November to the Yalu River and the North Korean-Chinese border, as overall commander Gen. Douglas MacArthur and the U.S. leadership sought to conquer North Korea. “We did what we had to do. We kept them out,” twice-wounded ex-rifleman Reed, 78, of Butte, Mont., said of the Naktong campaign. “But we suffered plenty. In the first month, my company” — A Company, 23rd Infantry Regiment — “went down to 78 men from 200.” More suffering lay ahead. The lunge north had been ill-conceived, putting the American army on a collision course with the might of China deep inside North Korea. Retired Lt. Col. Lynn A. Freeman, then a lieutenant at 23rd Infantry headquarters, remembered the night in late November 1950 when a Chinese attack materialized from nowhere, “blowing bugles and whistles and making a lot of noise,” and penetrating into the regimental command post at the Chungchon River. The regiment’s 1st Battalion beat them back. “The bodies of wounded Chinese were frozen in the river’s ice the next morning,” recalled the quietspoken Freeman, 87, of Concord, Calif. Meanwhile, young Wallis had an image frozen in his memory, of panicked U.S. soldiers trapped in sleeping bags and hopping down a hillside to escape the Chinese. “The next day we went up there and saw a couple that didn’t make it,” he said. But Chinese attacks all along the front forced the longest retreat in U.S. military history, a withdrawal by the entire U.S. Eighth Army some 160 miles back into South Korea. For the 2nd Division, the pullback through Kunu-ri and the valley remembered as “The Gauntlet” was a descent into a wintry hell. “It was sleepwalking, day and night marching, when the Chinese came in,” remembered Rudy Ruiz, 77, of Las Vegas, a 38th Infantry Regiment rifleman. Miles-long convoys of trucks, tanks and men pushed south under heavy fire from Chinese dug into the hills on both sides, fire that crippled vehicles, blocked the narrow roadway, stranded knots of doomed men. In a single day, the division lost 3,000 killed, wounded or missing. Even for those who escaped, the frigid temperatures and biting Siberian wind of an early winter could be as deadly an enemy. Wounded men froze to death while waiting for help. Hundreds suffered frozen feet and

Korean War veteran Edwin F. Reeg, now 82, almost lost his life at Heartbreak Ridge. Revisiting South Korean 60 years later, he was amazed at the transformation. ‘This makes me feel it was worth it,’ he said. ‘To see this country built up — it’s amazing.’ fingertips, noses and ears. The Army had failed to deliver winter clothing to tens of thousands of troops. “The worst was the cold. I’ve never been so cold,” said Ruiz. “You’d dig a hole in the snow and you’d all huddle together.” The “Big Bugout” retreat left the Eighth Army holding a line below the 38th Parallel, the North-South divide. In February 1951, the Chinese mounted an all-out offensive, but were turned back at Chipyong-ni by the 2nd Division, ushering in a final long phase of the Korean War, the “war of the ridgelines,” as the two sides jockeyed for advantage, winning hills, losing them, winning them back, while truce talks went on. It was at Heartbreak Ridge, in September 1951, that “we got into trouble, when we tried to move north,” recalled Ed Reeg, ex-machine gunner with the 23rd Infantry. “The night of 19 September, Love Company was under real heavy attack, and Lt. Monfore called for a machine gun.” Reeg climbed to Love’s position, set up his .30-caliber gun, and suddenly the North Koreans were charging out of the darkness along the ridgeline. Reeg’s team tried to hold them off, dodged their grenades, but finally “they found the mark,” a bullet hitting him above the hip, sending him rolling in pain. As Love beat back the attack, at the cost of Lt. Monfore’s life, Reeg was carried to a spot on the hillside, injected with morphine, roughly bandaged, and left lying there, as the sun rose, peaked and began to set. “Here I’m thinking, it’s over. What’s my mom going to think?” In late afternoon, passing GIs realized he wasn’t dead and sent him off to a medical station. The war was over for Ed Reeg,

who would be awarded a Silver Star for bravery. This May 31, Reeg, 82, of Dubuque, Iowa, stood with his wife and son atop a ridgeline south of Korea’s dividing Demilitarized Zone, and looked out toward Heartbreak. “To think we were so close to where I lay dying 59 years ago,” he reflected later. “I never thought I’d get back here.” It wasn’t the only pilgrimage this old soldier has made. In 2003, he found Lt. Peter Monfore’s grave in Springfield, S.D., and met with his family. “It seemed like my duty to go find him.” Duty and doubts, flashbacks and nightmares, pride and uncertainties — veterans of killing fields, in Korea or elsewhere, are often torn by conflicting feelings. Many Korea vets are open about the psychic legacy of their war. “I had night sweats for years,” Ruiz said. “Whatever, it’s still blocked out.” Reeg believes a nervous breakdown he suffered in 1960 may have stemmed from his time in Korea. In their foxholes 60 years ago, many questioned why their lives were being risked in a far-off civil war. “As a young fellow, I did wonder what we were doing here,” said the big Montanan and ex-rifleman Reed. Their anniversary tour supplied an answer for some, as they gazed upon a prosperous and — in recent decades — democratic South Korea, whose government subsidizes such veterans’ visits. “This makes me feel it was worth it,” said Reeg. “To see this country built up — it’s amazing.” They recognize the picture is incomplete, however, since the peninsula remains divided. “That’s one thing I’m sorry for,” said Reed. In fact, John Manly long thought he would wait for Korean reunification before returning. Finally, at age 80, the old 23rd Infantry rifleman came, despite obvious misgivings about his war and its results — “I am almost a pacifist,” he told a reporter. Equally obvious, as he spoke of a wartime friend killed in action, was his love for his fellow soldiers. “Isn’t a day goes by I don’t think about him,” said Manly, of Saratoga Springs, N.Y. “I’m glad to be alive. A lot of the guys in there tonight are happy to be alive,” he said, nodding toward a banquet hall filled with fellow veterans. That evening it was Manly’s tenor voice that silenced the hall, drawing the gray heads of old soldiers together in thoughts only they could share, as he sang, to the tune of the World War II favorite “Lili Marlene,” lyrics someone had improvised in 1952 as their own war dragged on: “When the war is over and the world is free, We’ll relive proud memories of bloody Kunu-ri. Sayong and Heartbreak will be retold, And Bloody Ridge will make us bold. Our hearts will always be With the 2nd Infantry.” • • • On the Web: 2nd Infantry Division Korean War Veterans Alliance: http://www.2id.org

A literary witch awakens in the Blue Ridge What happens when a novice witch confronts the vengeful ghost of her beloved’s long-dead mother? In her recently published gothic fantasy romance, “The Witch Awakening” (426 pp., $14.95), author Karen Nilsen tells the story of Safire of Long Marsh, a young psychic whose unusual talents are considered witchcraft and punishable by death at the stake in her skewed Renaissance world. “The Witch Awakening” tied for second place in the Fort Bend Writers Guild 2008 Novel Contest and won fifth place in The Writing Show’s international 2008 First Chapter Contest. Asheville author Cheryl Dietrich, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, says, “This is the most fun I’ve had from a book in months. Lively, intriguing and suspenseful, ‘The Witch Awakening’ kept me awake ... I was all prepared to boo the stern, conniving father, the traditional, prim sister, and the slack-moraled spy, but found these to be characters so real and complex that they overwhelmed my expectations ... The conflicts here are driven by normal human misunderstandings, people who love too much, and a society that expects its citizens to fall into set roles. This is a fantasy novel that even readers who don’t think they like fantasy can enjoy.” Although considered fantasy, “The Witch Awakening” draws extensively on Nilsen’s knowledge of European history and combines elements of several different genres. Asked about her writing process, Nilsen replied, “I’m a magpie in my writing, picking this shiny thing from that genre and that shiny thing from another genre and weaving them together in an eclectic nest.” Nilsen is revising “Tapestry Lion” and writing the first draft of “Phoenix Ashes,” the next two novels in the witch series. Nilsen lived in Spencer and worked at the N.C. Transportation Museum from 2001 to 2003, when she wrote most of “The Witch Awakening.” The Literary Bookpost in Salisbury will host a reading and signing on June 19 at 1:30 p.m. The bookstore is at 110 S.

SALISBURY POST

Women struggle with destiny in Gothic novel “The Memory Thief,” by Rachel Keener. Center Street. 2010. 370 pp. $16.99. BY DEIRDRE PARKER SMITH dp1@salisburypost.com

Rachel Keener created a haunting, haunted young woman as the heroine of her first book, “The Killing Tree.” In her second novel, “The Memory Thief,” Keener creates a host of haunted women, young and old, driven to desperate actions. “The Killing Tree” included a ghost-like mentally ill grandmother and a violent, angry old man, guardians of a young woman who desperately needs someone to love her. In “The Memory Thief,” the story is written in sections featuring Hannah, Angel or Bethie. Hannah and Bethie are told in third person, Angel in first. As a literary device, this makes the chapters on Angel seem so urgent, everything imminent. But the third person narration of Hanna and Bethie lets us see the motives of Mother, who loves neither wisely nor too well. Angel is a dirt poor child whose parents live in a filthy trailer on a tobacco farm. Her daddy is a drunk who spends what little money they make on his car and booze. Her mother is a drunk, a liar and a thief who encourages her girls to steal her “prizes” — spoons off tables, pies from windows, even the cash from a dead man’s wallet. When her parents start one of their violent fights, no one is safe. Angel and her sister Janey run for the tobacco field, hiding under the leaves, sometimes all night. Angel feels safe in the “bacca.” Her sister learns to twirl her hips and tease with her eyes to get what she wants — until she gets a little more than she wants and runs away. Angel runs away, too, but not before destroying what was left of her memories in an almost Biblical conflagration.

Then there’s Hannah, daughter of a woman who adheres strictly to a religion which requires the ultimate in modesty from her daughters — long polyester skirts and blouses, uncut hair, few friends. They’re called the Holy Rollers at school. Hannah’s engineer father follows along. They adopt a Filipino child during one of their mission trips. Bethie, though, has a horrible stuttering problem, which leads to endless admonitions from Mother. Everyone assumes Bethie is stupid. Hannah, a golden-haired beauty, learns that whatever she wants is a sin. Being cool during the hot summer in South Carolina is a sin, talking to a boy is a sin, going in the water is a sin. Wishing for change is a sin. When change comes, despite Mother’s efforts, the storm clouds gather. Hannah gets a job cleaning and cooking at a nearby motel. The AfricanAmerican women there embrace her and show her genuine affection. There, she meets a boy — the first male to ever pay attention to her. Her first love. What happens next is the stuff of soap operas the world over. Hannah gives birth in a dramatic Gothic fashion, her baby is taken away immediately, and she falls ill. Mother will fix it. She fixes everything to conform to her concept of what is right, and she has huge blind spots in her vision. Hannah, devastated by the loss of her child, secludes herself with her parents, who move far away. She is convinced she must suffer for her sin. A class in clay awakens the artist in her — bringing out the amazing colors in her mind, bringing her out into the world, a bit. She finds another love, who’s respectful and devoted and wants to heal her pain — until they are faced with a new one. Her haphazard first delivery has left her sterile, and Hannah descends into a hell of

self-blame. Just as Hannah seems most desperate, Keener picks up Angel’s story again. It’s hard to say what happens from page 200 on as the plot twists and turns. More heartbreak and tragedy, to be sure. Anger burns like a blue flame; despair brings dark depths. Mother comes up with more “solutions,” manipulating everyone around her. This is an emotionally heavy book, full of anger and loss. Mother’s behavior borders on psychotic; Hannah and Angel

stay on the edge of the precipice for most of the novel. Keener sets herself up as a writer of what’s often called Southern Gothic — ripe with setting and tortured characters. “The Memory Thief” is compelling, each chapter pulling the reader along a relentlessly dramatic path. The end ... the end seems impossible, but so do many sequences in the book. The author asks us to suspend disbelief after a journey into a foreboding place. Somehow, she pulls it off.

Teens can find plenty to read this summer at the library BY MARISSA CREAMER Rowan Public Library

A fresh new crop of titles for teens has arrived at Rowan Public Library, just in time for the summer reading season. A number of them deal with teens who are trying to come to terms with their family legacy. While some teens embrace family traditions, others want to find their own way. Great things are expected from Sparrow Delaney, the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter in a long line of psychics, but she wants no part of it. Attempting to break free from the family tradition, she hides her gift from her family, never mentioning that she has been seeing ghosts since she was 5. Determined to be a normal 10th-grader, Sparrow attends a new school away from the community of spiritualists where she was raised. Unfortunately, the spirits have other ideas. Sparrow can’t seem to shake the ghost of a teenage boy who pleads for her help. Find out if Sparrow will embrace her gift in “The Secret Life of Sparrow Delaney” by Suzanne Harper. When Katarina Bishop was 3, her parents took her to the Louvre — to case it. For her 7th birthday, Katarina and her Uncle Eddie traveled to Austria — to steal the crown jewels. Now 15, Kat attempts to escape the family business by scamming her way into an exclusive boarding school, in Ally Carter’s “The Heist Society.” After spending her childhood assisting her father, a talented art thief, Kat is ready to live a more conventional life. Her normal life at the Colgan School is soon disrupted, however, when she discovers that her father has been accused of stealing priceless paintings from the

powerful mobster Arturo Taccone. Kat has two weeks to recover the paintings before Taccone takes matters into his own hands. Assembling a team of teen coconspirators, Kat embarks on an exciting European trek and plans a daring heist on her father’s behalf. Will she recover the missing paintings in time to save him? Laurel is unaware that she shares her deceased mother’s connection with flowers in “Forget-Her-Nots,” by Amy Brecount White. While researching the Victorian language of flowers for a school project, Laurel notices that the bouquets she creates have unusual effects on their recipients, beginning with a spinster teacher who finds love. She later discovers that she is a Flowerspeaker, one of an ancient line of people who can use flowers to influence people’s feelings. Not realizing the full potential of her gift, Laurel must deal with unintended consequences when some of her bouquets fall into the wrong hands. Other new tales of teens dealing with their family legacy include “Hex Hall” by Rachel Hawkins, and “Princess of the Midnight Ball,” by Jessica Day George. These are just a few of the new teen titles available at Rowan Public Library. Computer classes: Classes are free. Sessions are approximately 90 minutes.

In a blur of recitals, award ceremonies, concerts and parties, another school year has come to an end. A stressful, difficult yet ultimately glorious end. They say May is the new December. Actually, I would define mid-May to June 10 as the new December — a month-long period just as accomplished as the holidays at causing stress headaches and nighttime teeth grinding, but also just as anticipatory, hopeful and rewarding in the final moments. The last day of school started, as it EMILY must, with an FORD argument or three as my older daughter crammed not one but two outfits in her backpack as I tried to rush her out the door. Apparently the final festivities at Koontz Elementary now require costume changes. The French braid I’d painstakingly woven into her hair was removed within seconds. June 10’s heartbreak came not while witnessing almostgrown boys cry after closing ceremonies at Southeast Middle, but when it became clear that if I wanted to watch my son graduate from the eighth grade, I would not make it to his sister’s fifth-grade awards program at Koontz. We must make choices, and then we must find a way to make each child feel special and loved, especially when her shining moment is eclipsed by her brother’s. And yes, we must occasionally buy their love. Oh, Nellie loves her new outfit and gladiator sandals with matching bracelet. And Nellie loves me. Every single end-of-year event was worth it. Worth the trouble, worth the time, worth the effort. Some highlights: • Nearly 500 hot, stinky kids running and jumping and laughing during field day. Only one bleeder and two cussers at the bounce house, and no one lost a finger under the scooters. Kids. Outside. Where they should be. • Not a dry eye at the Koontz talent show when the first-grader set aside his white cane and walked on stage with his beloved aide to sing “You are My Sunshine.” • First-ever career day at Knox Middle, where a dozen bankers, lawyers, caterers and yes, reporters spent the morning in conversation with the entire eighth grade, 20 young adults at a time. I ran into one the next day and asked if he’d been inspired to consider a career. “I think I might like to write for a newspaper, to tell people’s stories,” he said. True to form as these May-June events unfold, the last day of school was riddled with tension and angst but eventually ended sublimely. Take 120 kids, add water and a huge inflatable slide, throw in 40 large pizzas and ice cream and toppings for 200 sundaes and you get the end-of-year party at Eaman Park Pool, possibly my favorite May-June event of all. At the end of the evening, I had the pleasure of basking in the complete calm at the pool, knowing that we had just made a memory for each and every kid. School’s out. Summer’s here. Let the screen door slamming and swim suit dripping and board game playing and late-night movie watching and memory making begin.

RALEIGH — The North Carolina Symphony presented the 2010 Maxine Swalin Award for an Outstanding Music Educator to Charlotte teacher Judith C. Booth on May 29 during a 6 p.m. reception at Cary’s Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Regency Park. The award is presented annually to a North Carolina music teacher who serves the community as a role model in music education, instills a love for music in children and inspires students to reach appropriately high musical standards. Booth, the orchestra teacher at Northeast Middle School and Albemarle Road Middle School, has taught music in Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools for over 30 years, and has played in the first violin section of the Salisbury Symphony Orchestra for about a decade. “She has a reputation for serving her students selflessly,” says North Carolina Symphony Acting Education Manager Jessica Nalbone, “purchasing classroom materials with her own money and devoting countless hours of personal time to those who cannot afford private instruction.” Booth is an accomplished violinist and has performed professionally for over 40 years in various ensembles, including the Salisbury and Union Symphony Orchestras. She holds a bachelor of music in music education degree and a master of education degree with a concentration in reading and continues to expand professionally as a member of multiple professional educators’ associations. A leader in professional development for her school district, she works with nonstring-playing orchestra directors to strengthen their skills in the classroom. In addition to holding high expectations for herself, Booth has facilitated numerous opportunities for her students to actively participate within the community, including collaborations with artists, composers, ensembles, schools and local organ-

Rosser was crowned queen of debutante court at the at the annual debutante ball, sponsored by the Alpha Alpha Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority. izations. “Her contributions go well beyond the classroom,” says Mark Propst, one of Booth’s supporters. “She has made inestimable contributions to the intellectual, emotional and social growth of countless lives…She is a stellar model for others to emulate.” In the early 1990s, Booth began travelling with her students to perform for elementary school programs in Alleghany County, an area where students have very little exposure to live orchestral music. These visits inspired Allegheny County to seek regular orchestral performances for their elementary grades, including the North Carolina Symphony’s education concerts, for which administrators credit Booth. Her groups continue to travel to Sparta each year, where they now collaborate with the Junior Appalachian Musicians of Alleghany County on an “Old Tyme” music performance. The Outstanding Music Educator Award honors Maxine Swalin, who, together with her husband Dr. Benjamin Swalin, North Carolina Symphony Music Director from 1939-1972, established the children’s concert division of the Symphony in 1945. Largely because of the Swalins’ efforts, Senate Bill No. 248 (“The Horn Tootin’ Bill”) passed, providing state fiscal support for the Symphony’s education program. Sixty-one years later, the program still brings live symphonic music to children throughout North Carolina.

Brown student recital Piano students of Tina Brown of Rockwell presented a recital on Sunday, June 6 in the fellowship hall of Organ Lutheran Church. Students who performed were: Shirley Guo, Elisabeth Swinson, David Parker, Daniel Pell, Landon Perkins, Gabi Jolly, Alyssa Hammill, Lydia Hartung, Chelsea Green, Kevin Agner, Ilya Wang, Sara Johnson, Kelly Dulkoski, Marian Hough, Laura Agner, Rebecca Agner, Daniel Lin and Carol Brown. The following students who participated in the National Piano Guild in April were recognized: Kevin Agner, Chelsea Green, Lydia Hartung, Gabi Jolly, Ilya Wang, Laura Agner, Marian Hough, Rebecca Agner and Sara Johnson. Recognition was given to the following students who participated in the NC Music Teachers Association Albemarle District Piano ContestFestival at Catawba College in March: Laura Agner and Rebecca Agner. Since these students made Superior at the District Level, they played at the West Division State Piano Contest at Queens University in March. Acknowledgement was given to Elisabeth Swinson, Gabi Jolly, Landon Perkins, Daniel Pell, Alyssa Hammill, Lydia Hartung, Chelsea Green, Kevin Agner, Ilya Wang, Marian Hough, Sara Johnson, Laura Agner and Rebecca Agner who each received a composer statuette for completing a music activities project.

Children’s art may be used as is, or it may be enhanced by adding borders or background colors. Cara can take two separate drawings and include them in the same piece of jewelry. The art may include words, as well. Cara made one piece with a drawing of Camille’s, done as a birthday card for her father, which features a box of popcorn. Both Camille and her father are addicted to popcorn, Cara explains. Camille’s phonetically spelled caption is also included: “I love you mor thin pop-corn.” For fathers or grandfathers, the art can be featured on key chains, tie tacks, cufflinks or lapel pins, Cara says. Kirsten and Cara are also working on some fine art pieces together, some of which feature miniatures painted by Cara, which are then resinized. The pair admits that there was a big learning curve with the resin process. They figured out by trial and error how to work with the resin, which can be tricky. If you don’t do it right, bubbles and imperfections will result — and those are unacceptable to these perfectionists. The women debuted their jewelry at the Art on Easy Street festival in May. They also donated a necklace, featuring the drawings of an entire class of 18 students, to be auctioned for a recent Salisbury Academy fundraiser. Kirsten grew up in the jewelry business and began making jewelry when she was 13 or 14 years old, she says. “We did castings, and I learned the processes of making jewelry — how to cast, solder, how to set stones.” After high school, she took some jewelry courses

Cara Reische and Kirsten Reynolds examine some of their Ta-Da! Jewelry creations. to hone her skills. Cara was also exposed to jewelry-making as a child. Her mother, Camille Reische, used to make jewelry out of sand dollars. “Our dining room table in Savannah was covered with beads,” she says. Although Cara turned her skills toward painting, she has always had a passion for jewelry and has created and sold plenty of it. She points out that her love of “shiny things” is evident even in her paintings. When she needs to take a break from doing a portrait, doing beadwork gives her immediate gratification, she says, and offers a nice balance to the painting. (Ta-Da! jewelry can be customized with Cara’s beadwork.) Cara has long been a fan of Kirsten’s jewelry. “Half my jewelry is stuff

Kirsten made,” Cara says. Kirsten even made the wedding ring set for Cara and her husband, Jon Palmer. The two women are thrilled to be partners in this venture and vow that business won’t affect their friendship negatively. “It’s always friendship first,” Cara says. “We’re going to have fun,” Kirsten says. “If it’s not fun, we’re not going to do it.” “I never would have dreamt that we’d be doing this, as parents,” Cara says. But she believes it’s a perfect fit for her — as a mother and an artist. In terms of what you do, she says, “if you really love it, it’s successful.” You can see a display of TaDa! jewelry at Windsor Gallery.

Going to pot Dear Amy: I’ve been married for five years. We have a 4-year-old son. My husband and I were born and raised in a very strict religion that doesn’t allow the use of alcohol. Our religion prohibits smoking too. My husband was a rebel as a teenager but straightened up and went on with life. However, reASK cently I AMY learned that on his business trips he smokes pot and drinks beer. We have been to counseling and he says that pot should be legal and basically defends his behavior. I don’t agree. I’ve developed severe anxiety because of this. Every time he leaves town for business I freak out. Am I at a dead end? — Worried Wife Dear Wife: Because your husband is violating legal, personal and religious values and has stated his intention to continue to do so, you will have to work very hard in order to detach from his choices and concentrate on your own. You can’t follow your husband on his business trips and police his substance intake. You can work hard to police and control your own anxiety. Is it best for you to lie awake at night, worrying about what your husband is doing? No. You could try to control your anxiety by concentrating on building a positive and healthy life for yourself and your son. Beyond that, you have other decisions to make. Your husband might come home one day and declare that even though adultery is off-limits, he has decided to give it a try. What would you do then? You will receive guidance from your counseling

sessions; you might also benefit from the advice of clergy. • • • Dear Amy: About a year ago I purchased a foreclosed home. Unknown and undisclosed to me was the fact that the neighbor behind me has small children. The father is training the 3year-old to be a sports star. I find various balls and toys in my backyard on a regular basis. At least three balls a week hit my house. I have a large dog I train in the backyard. If I’m out with him, the neighbor will climb up on the fence to ask for the balls back. They now wait for me to come out so they can ask me to gather and return these balls. If I go out in the evening in my pajamas with the dog so he can do his business, they climb the fence, look around and ask for the balls. I have absolutely no privacy in my own backyard. I finally started keeping the balls as a way of trying to discourage them. I think this is rude, intrusive and very selfcentered. These balls could be harmful or even fatal to my dog if he were to swallow them. Now when I see them starting to walk toward the fence I pivot and go directly into my house. I want my privacy back! — No Backyard Privacy Dear Backyard: Keeping the balls seems like the best strategy. If you send the message that any ball landing in your yard will not be returned, then soon even the 3-year-old will start saying, “No Dad, let’s play catch in this direction!” One way to increase privacy would be to heighten your fence and plant dense shrubbery along it. This would have an impact on the lost ball issue too. People who live in close proximity to one another learn that privacy is a dance. You’ll have to learn to cheerfully ignore and/or tolerate your neighbors, the way they will have to occasionally tolerate you and your large dog. —TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

Sacred Heart Catholic School gets first color yearbooks BY KATIE SCARVEY Salisbury Post

The students in Cindy Desch’s second grade class at Sacred Heart Catholic School were excited last Tuesday. It was yearbook day. It was the school’s first yearbook in its brand new facility on Lumen Christi Lane and the first ever in the school’s history to be in color — and the second graders helped make that happen. Diana Storey, mother of Spencer Storey, a Sacred Heart student, was in charge of the yearbook this year. While the yearbook had been budgeted for black and white, she was told that if funds could be raised, the yearbooks could be pub-

lished in color this year. So students tackled the task of selling advertisements in order to fund the extra cost — about $800. The second graders raised the most money, with Claire Allen selling the most in her class. Their reward was to be the first class to receive the yearbooks. Once the squealing and whoops of delight died down after everyone was handed their yearbooks, Mrs. Desch’s class got down to the important business at hand: signing the books. They were also given markers with which to add color to the black and white graffiti-style cover of the yearbook if they chose — and most did.

Keeping Facebook in its place A

friend of mine announced recently that after more than a year of social networking, she’s leaving Facebook. For good. At first, the news shocked me down to my core. I had always enjoyed KENT her informaBERNHARDT tive posts and witty comments. What was wrong? Was she unhappy with her “friends”? Were her Farmville crops drying up? I could understand if she wanted to take a break, but to cut ties altogether? That was devastating news. Then, pulling myself together, I realized she wasn’t dying or leaving town. Maybe, like a lot of people, she just grew tired of the grip that internet social networking has on their lives. I get more than my fill of people with their faces buried in their Blackberrys while I’m trying to have a conversation with them. Many spend hours daily on Facebook, and if that’s her reason for quitting, I fully understand. I myself have been content with a few minutes once or twice a day. And if I happen to miss my dose of Facebook today or for several days, that's fine with me. Facebook isn’t meant to be your life. If it has become your life, stop now. I see it as a simple tool. It’s my internet newspaper about things going on in the lives of my friends and associates. It’s where I generally find out that someone is sick, or has had a baby, or is getting married, or changed jobs. I’ve connected with old

medical status. If you’ve recently had a colonoscopy, I’m proud of you. But I don’t want to hear about yours any more than I wanted to watch Harry Smith’s on the CBS Morning News a couple of months ago. Tread lightly with the political comments and posts about how much you hate your job. They’re your best bet to get “hidden” from your friends’ Facebook feeds, not to mention a sure way to get fired if your boss happens to be among your friends. I have one friend who posts nothing but conservative politics, and another who posts nothing but liberal. I dumped them both from my feed, and they never felt a thing. Most of all, keep Facebook in perspective. It’s a communication tool just like your telephone, nothing more. Give the people in your life the lion’s share of your time...face to face, not Facebook to Facebook. Kent Bernhardt lives in Salisbury.

high school teachers and buddies, and I enjoy hearing from them again. Face it. For better or worse, we don’t write letters anymore, and we make fewer phone calls. Even if we did, we wouldn’t mass distribute information to everyone we care about. Facebook lets us write simple notes, or post pictures and videos of the happenings in our lives, reaching a large audience of friends simultaneously. No postage stamp required. I like seeing your family photos and videos of places you’ve been. I wouldn’t get to otherwise, and I love to see how the kids have grown. I have an archive of old WSTP, East Rowan, and Piedmont Players photos for my friends to enjoy. A few rules though. First, have something to say. “I'm thinking about having a boloney sandwich for lunch” or “the cat just threw up on my carpet” isn’t having something to say. Secondly, be careful about posts involving your

SALISBURY POST

Above: The Twelfth Street Historic District covers most of the heart of downtown Golden, Colorado. The town clock sits on the corner of Twelfth and Illinois streets with the ‘Welcome to Golden’ sign a block down the street. Below right: This unique home is on the Twelfth Street in the historic district of Golden.

GOLDEN, COLORADO B Y WAYNE H INSHAW For the Salisbury Post

“Howdy Folks, Welcome to Golden, where the West Lives.” Walking the streets in an old historic town steeped in the old West tradition and thinking about Golden’s 140 plus years of history, it is still a young town by the standards of the old towns in the eastern United States that date back to the 1700s. In 1859 Golden was established as a gold mining camp during the height of the Pike’s Peak Gold Rush. Being on the Front Ranch of the Rocky Mountains the town was the capital of the Territory of Colorado for five years before the capital was moved 15 miles to Denver. Golden’s modern “claim to fame,” is the hometown to Coors Brewing Co. noted for that Rocky Mountain beer made from the water of the cold mountain streams. The gray buildings of the brewing complex are only blocks from the heart of town. The town is smaller that Salisbury with a population around 18,000. It is a college town with the Colorado School of Mines offering programs in engineering and science. William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody is buried on nearby Lookout Mountain overlooking the city. Golden is in a picturesque setting located in a valley between Lookout Mountain and North Table Mountain and South Table Mountain. The town’s icon is the South Table Mountain that towers over the downtown. In ear-

Clear Creek runs through the middle of Golden, Colorado providing a scenic walkway in downtown and a beautiful view. ly spring, I enjoyed 70 degree weather bathed in sunshine one day and 8 inches of snow the next. Then warm sunshine again. I am told this is typical Colorado spring weather as the mountains try to crawl out of winter into spring. The town has the look of a modern small city, but I can still feel the western mining town atmosphere in the air. Many of the buildings are historic with a flavor of the mining days with names like Buffalo Rose Bar and Grill, Old Capital Grill, and a welcome sign over the street saying “Howdy Folks, Welcome to Golden, where the West Lives.” The Twelfth Street Historic District consists of homes built

mostly after the 1860s into the late 1880s that were lived in by many of the town’s early leaders. An example is the Dr. James Kelly home built in 1879. Dr. Kelly was the county doctor while serving as the county treasurer and later was the mayor. Later his home was used as the home of the Colorado Transcript newspaper. A block away from the Dr. Kelly home, walking through the historic district, I saw a man out waxing his blue and white boat on Twelfth Street. I didn’t know there were lakes around for such a boat in the mountains. I stopped on the bridge over Clear Creek near the visitor’s center watching the

rushing waters of the creek flow through town coming from an area farther up in the mountains where much of the gold mining centered. The creek area has been developed into a walking park with paved sidewalks for a stroll or a place to sit and read a book. I see the town’s historic plaques all around depicting the history of the town. One such sign is on the bridge over the Clear Creek advising of the Bridge Load Limit. The limit is “20 head of horned cattle or 20 head of horses or mules or 60 head of hogs, or 100 head of sheep at a pace not to exceed a walk.” The penalty for bridge overload was not less than $50 and not more

than $100. The sign was a quote from Ordinance No. 28 from 1883. The downtown streets have life-size bronze statues at most of the street corners. It is fun to stand beside each statue and read the name plaque. The “Newsboy” statue has a youth holding a newspaper over his head for sale honoring the Colorado Transcript newspaper. There is an Indian woman statue with many clay pots around her feet. A funny bronze figure is an old gold prospector hugging his mule after striking it rich in the gold fields. A full sized bronze buffalo stands in front of the Buffalo Rose Bar in what could be a parking spot while citizens go about their daily business. Much like Salisbury, Golden has a town clock at the corner of Twelfth and Illinois streets in the heart of the downtown. Any town with an old clock on the square must be a town of character. It is a town looking for times in the future, with memories of the times from the past. Traffic was light on this beautiful day making for a more leisurely feel to strolling the streets. Looking up, there was a wall mural on the second story of a building depicting cowboys riding their horses. A unique feature were bike racks that looked like bikes. Riders can chain their rides to the racks like cowboys of old could tie down their horses in front of the bars. With the college in town there were many bikers, but I didn’t see any horses. Many students sat at the

outside tables in front of the bar and grills enjoying the warm early spring sunshine. Most city streets are named for pioneers, American Indian tribes, and trees. An exception was the street named “Miner’s Alley” that was a one-way street. There was also a Miner’s Alley. There are no less that six museums and the Clear Creek History Park around town. Golden is a lovely progressive town steeped in art and youth, but remembering its past “golden” history.

This artistic bike stand in Golden is a bike. Bikers can chain their bikes to the stand while inside a business.
