omewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.
— Judy Garland singing in “The Wizard of Oz” (1939)
This spring, a couple of times a week, residents at the Oak Park Retirement Community have gathered to check on their bluebird houses. They rejoice in every new development. The songs of the MARK busy mother and faWINEKA ther. The appearance of a nest. The blue eggs. The babies. The parents’ constant feeding. The youngsters’ first flights to nearby trees. Bluebirds by their nature — and thanks to countless poems and songs — might be the best harbingers of spring we have. They have come to represent love, hope and happiness, and the greatest of these, of course, is happiness. “You’ve got to say something about the Bluebird of Happiness,” Oak Park
See BUDGET, 2A With food in its mouth, a bluebird flies toward its nest. resident manager Rick Eastham told me. And when he sings to you, Though you're deep in blue, You will see a ray of light creep through. And so remember this, life is no abyss, Somewhere there's a bluebird of happiness. Life is sweet, tender and complete,
when you find the bluebird of happiness. — Lyrics by Edward Heyman & Harry Parr Davies (1934) Eastham had just unseated a log bluebird house from its pole, taken off the top and given residents a peek inside at the five fledglings amassed in a blue ball. Jean Anderson, Nora Craige, Rita

Fire breaks out in East Spencer home B Y S HAVONNE P OTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
EAST SPENCER — A fire heavily damaged a Weant Street house Monday afternoon. No one was at the house when the fire began sometime around 4:30 p.m. A neighbor called Monique Mashore of Salisbury, whose uncle, David Everhart, was renting the property at 307 Weant St. Mashore said she’d just seen her uncle, who stopped by her home. He left not long before she arrived to East Spencer firefighters working to extinguish the blaze. “He’s lived here for about two or three years. He rents from a friend,” she said.
[xbIAHD y0 0 1rzu
Mashore said her uncle lived alone and no one else would’ve been in the home. Firefighters from East Spencer, Spencer, Union and Miller’s Ferry responded to the scene, along with the Rowan Rescue Squad and East Spencer Police. Firefighters used a chain saw to cut a hole in the roof. The Dole Chapter of the American Red Cross was called to the scene to assist Everhart. No cause had been determined Monday evening. The Rowan County Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating. According to the Rowan County Register of Deeds the property belongs to a Diane Tucker Murphy of Buffalo, NY.

The proposed county budget for fiscal year 2010-11 would fund schools at the same level, cut county jobs and health benefits and keep the current tax rate. At Monday’s meeting, the Rowan County Board of Commissioners voted to hold budget work sessions June 2 and June 14, at 4 p.m. Commissioners also voted to set a public hearing on the proposed budget for June 7 at 6 p.m., following the board’s regular 4 p.m. meeting. The proposed General Fund budget is $127 million. This includes $2 million to pay the debt on a new satellite jail and emergency services communication equipment, paid for by a new quartercent sales tax increase. It also includes $160,000 in expansion items. EDC funding The proposed budget could be represents a decrease of slashed by 50 nearly $1 million from last percent, 3A year if those two totals are excluded, according to the budget message by County Manager Gary Page. The recommended tax rate remains at 59.5 cents per $100 of valuation. Revenues are projected to total $118.1 million, including revenue from the quarter-cent sales tax increase that will not continue. Continuing revenues are projected to decrease by $2.3 million from fiscal year 2009-10. Page said the county would need to use nearly $9 million from its savings to balance the budget, and about $3 million of that money likely will be spent. The county also will need to use $1.5 million to maintain county services in the current budget year and may consider a $1.5 million increase to Rowan-Salisbury Schools.

N.C. Senate budget would permit teacher furloughs “It’s hard to say that you’re happy with a budget that reduces education. But it’s a better budget than it was.” SEN. RICHARD STEVENS Co-chair, Senate budget subcommittee
bill Tuesday. While the Senate plan doesn’t eliminate a requirement that school districts locate another $80 million in cuts, budget writers declined to accept Perdue’s request to expand the so-called “management flexibility” reductions by another $135 million. But several other school expenses were decreased further. Local school districts would see a 9 percent cut to run their central offices, nearly 5 percent less for assistant principals and a 21 percent cut for teams of nurses and social workers that assist at-risk children. Overall, public schools would see a 3 percent reduction, or about $219 million less to a budget of $7.1 billion. Perdue had recommended a reduction of 3.5 percent.

Senate’s spending plan Monday. Their plans included language that would: • spend $15 million to expand a pilot program currently in 40 schools where teachers are using handheld computers and other technology to better track student performance, but it falls short of Perdue’s request to receive $39 million. • require the Department of Health and Human Services to submit a plan to close the aging Dororthea Dix mental hospital in Raleigh by June 30, 2011.

fund balance is likely to fall from $22 million to $17.5 million or even $16 million over two years. “In the 2011-12 budget, the county will need to begin cutting programs and services, and/or raise taxes, in order to pay for the basics of welfare, public safety and school funding,” Page wrote in the budget message. “In retrospect, it has been a blessing to be able to rely on our reserves for the past two years in maintaining a high service level.” Recommended expansion items include an increase of $150,000 for Rowan-Cabarrus Community College due to an increase in enrollment, as well as $103,000 to upgrade the elevator in the county administration building. Rowan-Salisbury Schools would not receive a requested $3 million funding increase under the proposed budget. The schools would continue to be funded at a level of $1,565 per student. Because it is projected that Rowan-Salisbury Schools will have 121 fewer students in the coming year, the system’s current-expense budget is set to decrease by $189,000 for a total of just under $32.1 million. Kannapolis City Schools would see an increase of $187,000, for a total county appropriation of $1.9 million. Funding to charter schools would decrease by $9,000 to a total of $116,000. In the budget message, Page compared per pupil funding in Rowan with six nearby counties that have similar economic characteristics. Among Alamance, Cabarrus, Catawba, Davidson, Iredell and Randolph counties, only Cabarrus funded its school systems in 2008 and 2009 at a higher rate than Rowan. “‘State average’ funding should not serve as the only indicator in judging Rowan County’s support of
“We’re very pleased there there are no additional management flexibility cuts,” said Leanne Winner, a lobbyist for the North Carolina School Boards Association, but other reductions are “going to affect how schools operate and how we deliver education to children.” The University of North Carolina system essentially saw spending remain flat and the community college system saw a 5 percent increase to pay for a surge of students seeking to be retrained or find new careers. “It’s hard to say that you’re happy with a budget that reduces education,” said Sen. Richard Stevens, R-Wake, cochair of the Senate’s budget subcommittee that approved the education plan Monday. “But it’s a better budget than
it was.” The budget subcommittee overseeing the Department of Health and Human Services also recommended $4.2 million more in cuts from the Smart Start early childhood education and health program compared to a draft spending plan unveiled last Friday. The panel also required $18.2 million in additional cost savings from Community Care of North Carolina, the state’s nonprofit managed-care initiative for Medicaid patients. Other subcommittees approved their portions of the

schools,” Page wrote. “Counties cannot continually cover the school system’s revenue shortfalls due to reduced state funding in a nogrowth economy.” No cost-of-living adjustments or merit pay raises are recommended for county employees. County workers also would see an increase in their insurance plan deductible and employee family premiums. Premiums for employees themselves would not go up, and pharmacy and doctor visit benefits would not be reduced. The county currently budgets $705 per month per employee, which will be reduced 5 percent, or $35 per month per employee. These changes, Page said, would save the county $350,000. The proposed budget also would eliminate 19 positions, some of which are vacant. These positions include a vehicle maintenance mechanic, a building inspector, four deputies, one environmental health specialist, two airport mechanics and nine part-time library positions. The county received 28 requests for new positions, but only two are recommended — one in the health department, funded by state grant money, as well as a director of building inspections. The county budget was tightened by decreases in most revenue areas, including: • The county’s estimated tax base the for next fiscal year has declined 0.4 percent. Also, the collection rate has fallen from 97 percent to 95 percent over the past three years. • Sales tax collections have fallen over 10 percent compared to three years ago. • Interest on investments has fallen to 1 percent. In 2007 and 2008, interest income was about 5 percent of the investment portfolio. • Building permits are estimated to generate $400,000, which is $600,000 less than collected in the 2007-08 budget.

teachers to keep class sizes down in early grades, teach at-risk 4-year-olds, build new schools and provide needbased college scholarships. Swindell said the change would only be for next year and would only apply to additional lottery profits that weren’t projected in the current budget. The lottery is expected to generate $73 million more in profits next year than previously projected. The public schools and health and human services would take the biggest hits in the budget proposal, or an additional $624 million in spending cuts beyond what’s already required in the budget’s second year starting July 1. Dozens of state offices are seeing cuts of 5 percent or more. State salaries for public schoolteachers and state employees would remain frozen for a second straight year. The changes are designed to narrow a projected budget gap of $800 million to $1 billion caused by flagging state revenues. The whole Senate budget committee is scheduled to debate the full budget

RALEIGH (AP) — The Senate’s proposed education budget unveiled Monday would cut less deeply next year compared to changes sought by Gov. Beverly Perdue but would allow local school districts to furlough teachers and use lottery funds as a last resort to prevent layoffs. The education plan, part of the roughly $19 billion full budget bill the full Senate is expected to vote on by the end of the week, would allow districts to require employees to take up to two days off without pay, said Sen. A.B. Swindell, D-Nash, one of the Senate’s chief budget writers. Several school districts, including Charlotte-Mecklenburg, have asked for that authority from the General Assembly. Swindell also said the bill would allow the districts to use some of their state lottery money on teacher salaries to prevent layoffs. The use of the lottery funds would represent a departure from the 2005 law that limits net proceeds from the games be used only to hire

Proposed budget would slash economic development funds Cabarrus County manager also recommends 50 percent cuts to other nongovernmental agencies BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
CONCORD — The Cabarrus County manager has proposed an “austere” budget for the coming fiscal year that would cut county funding to the local economic development group in half. Manager John Day suggests cutting $213,298 from the county’s appropriation to the Cabarrus Economic Development Corporation, leaving $212,000. President and CEO John Cox said he will ask county commissioners next week to restore the EDC funding. Currently, the county provides most of the EDC’s
$750,000 budget, Cox said. When he learned that Day was proposing a 50 percent decrease, “it gave me, I guess, an idea of how high the hill is that we have to climb,” Cox said. A cut that large could force the EDC to cancel memberships to the Charlotte Regional Partnership and the N.C. Department of Commerce partnership, groups that help recruit industries and jobs to Cabarrus County, Cox said. The groups provide domestic and international travel to the EDC for industry recruitment. “If it’s going to be $212,000, I haven’t figured out what that means yet,” he said. Cox said to his knowledge, no other

funding source, including all municipalities in Cabarrus County, have proposed cutting their contributions to the EDC. Day also recommended 50 percent cuts for other nongovernmental agencies, including the Cabarrus Community Care Plan ($50,000) and Cabarrus Arts Council ($12,246). “Admittedly austere, the FY 2011 budget establishes a new sense of normalcy and arguably meets the essential needs of our community,” Day wrote to commissioners.

Granite Quarry Police Chief Clyde Adams Jr., right, speaks with Mayor Pro Tem Bill Feather on Sunday at a retirement reception.
Saying goodbye to the chief Granite Quarry bids farewell to its first and only police chief Clyde Adams Jr. BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com
GRANITE QUARRY — As they waited in the reception line Sunday afternoon to shake the hand of Police Chief Clyde Adams Jr., friends often spoke of the heart behind the badge. The Rev. Spencer Swain, Adams’ pastor at Grace Lowerstone Church, said it only takes a few meetings with the chief to know “he’s not just a cop.” “He really has a heart for the people,” the pastor said. “... He’s the kind of person you can’t live up to.” Adams, the town’s first and only police chief, is retiring at the end of the month. At 65, he has tired of dealing with a lingering injury from a 2001 traffic accident that led to two operations and the insertion of four titanium screws in his back. As an appointed “police coordinator” through the sheriff’s office, Adams started patrolling the streets of Granite Quarry and scheduling off-duty deputies in 1990. Then Mayor John Linker and the rest of the town board officially established the Granite
Quarry department and made him chief in 1995. He went from his one-man, one-car department to what has become the Granite QuarryFaith Joint Police Authority, which today has six full-time and 12 part-time officers and seven cars. About 3,700 people live in the authority’s coverage area. Today’s Granite Quarry office also bears his name — the Clyde Adams Jr. Law Enforcement Center, a big step up from the “closet” he started out in that basically had a desk and a
telephone. “He’ll stand behind you 100 percent, as long as you’re right,” said Sgt. Todd Taylor, who was hired by Adams 14 years ago. Taylor described his mentor as a good, kind, fair man who rarely had a cross word to say about anyone. “He cares a lot about this community,” Taylor said. Leaving his officers is one of the toughest things for Adams. He has sponsored close to 30 people through the years going through Basic Law Enforcement Training at Rowan-Cabar-
rus Community College. Three of his Granite Quarry officers have become highway patrolmen, including Trooper Jason Page, who waited in the reception line with others Sunday. Page, a Granite Quarry officer from 2003-2008, said the chief was a great person and great chief to work with. Nearby, town staff had set up a table that included a guest book for visitors to sign, some blank sheets of paper on which they could leave notes for Adams and a couple of plaques Adams had received over the years recognizing his contributions to the town. Above the table was “A Trip through Time,” rows of photographs of the chief and his officers through the years. The town also provided a special retirement cake, punch and other snacks for the reception. Adams sat in a high-backed chair, front and center in the town board’s meeting room, with wife Carolyn, son Darren and mother-in-law Beatrice Harwood next to him.
Marijuana ‘starter plants’ await transplanting to the ground. Authorities destroyed more than 8,400 plants during a raid on Old Union Church Road on Friday.
Sheriff’s office: Estimated street value at $20 million Staff report
Authorities destroyed more than 8,000 marijuana plants, worth millions of dollars, during a raid on Old Union Church Road. The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office estimated the street value of the 8,426 plants at $20 million. Working with the N.C. National Guard’s helicopter unit, the Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division located a large marijuana field in an isolated, wooded area off Old Union Church Road on Friday. Detectives seized the plants in the early stages of growth, with many still in plastic cups awaiting transplanting to the ground. Capt. John Sifford said the growers likely saw the National Guard’s RAID helicopters and fled the scene before deputies could get to the site. The plants were in the process of being watered when detectives arrived. Tracking dogs were called in, and they followed the growers for several miles, but the suspects were not captured. The growers were apparently living near the site. Sifford said investigators found a campsite with a tent, cooking equipment and clothes.

Boy struck by lightning at Rain dumps more than 5 inches on parts of Rowan Bullhole Staff report
Parts of Rowan County got more than 5 inches of rain over the weekend, and other areas came close to that amount. As rains fell heavily at times, the county was under a flash flood watch Monday afternoon. No extensive flooding was reported, but the storms did affect the area Monday. The N.C. Highway Patrol responded to multiple accidents, including several on Interstate 85, that may have been weather related.
At 3:30 p.m. Duke Energy’s website showed more than 500 Rowan County customers without power, primarily in the Salisbury area. That number had fallen to 34 at 6 p.m. The Salisbury Fire Department measured 2.53 inches of rainfall from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday, but that was in addition to heavy rainfall over the weekend. A storm front which moved through the county Sunday afternoon dumped almost 5 inches of rain in some areas of the county.
No damage was reported, but many plowed fields still had standing water early Monday. The Piedmont Research Station on Sherrills Ford Road recorded 4.02 inches between 8 a.m. Sunday until 8 a.m. Monday. Added to .22 inches Saturday, that made it the wettest weekend in a a long time, according to a Research Station employee. Salisbury-Rowan Utilities measured 3.6 inches from the start of rain Saturday through around 1 p.m. Monday. Southern areas of the county may have had more rain.
L.L. Goodnight & Sons measured 4.7 inches at the Saw Road location off N.C. 152. Combined with .7 from the previous day, the storms dumped 5.4 inches for the weekend. And in Rockwell, measurements totaled slightly less, 3.5 inches. Though heavy, the rain was a welcome sight in much of the county. Last week, the N.C. Drought Monitoring Council listed most of Rowan as “abnormally dry,” along with the eastern two-thirds of the state.
A 14-year-old boy was struck by lightning Sunday afternoon at the Bullhole park on the South Yadkin River. According to Rowan County Emergency Management, the boy was in a picnic shelter around 4:30 p.m. when he was hit. A Rowan County EMS unit responded along with the Woodleaf Fire Department. The boy was conscious and alert at the scene. He was taken by ambulance to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem. Neither his name nor condition were available Monday.

Former Philip Morris workers benefits can be extended CONCORD — Workers who lost their jobs when Philip Morris USA closed its cigarette-manufacturing plant here are eligible to receive extended unemployment benefits, retraining assistance and other aid, the N.C. Employment Security Commission announced Monday. The U.S. Department of Labor certified employees of the Virginia-based company for benefits under the Trade Adjustment Act. The act provides special benefits and opportunities to workers who lose their jobs to overseas competition.
When the company announced plans in 2007 to shut down the facility, 2,500 people worked there. According to the Employment Security Commission, former Philip Morris employees will be eligible for three years in a training program for which their tuition, books and fees will be fully paid; up to 152 weeks of unemployment benefits as long as they’re in training; job search and relocation allowances; and a health coverage tax credit. To determine if they’re eligible, former Philip Morris employees should contact the nearest Employment Security Commission office. In Rowan, the office is at 1904 S. Main St. The telephone number is 704-639-7529. In Cabarrus County, the office is at 2275 Kannapolis Highway, Concord. The telephone number is 704-786-3183.
Cabarrus Meals on Wheels receives $5,000 from Food Lion KANNAPOLIS — Cabarrus Meals on Wheels has received $5,000 from the Food Lion Charitable Foundation. Cabarrus Meals on Wheels will use the gift to pay for meals for clients who can’t cover the cost due to financial hardship. “Nutritional meals are essential to helping our clients maintain their health and continue to live independently in their homes,” said Kimberly Strong, executive director. Cabarrus Meals on Wheels assists the homebound in remaining independent by delivering nutritious meals. More than 388 homebound, elderly and disabled residents in Cabarrus County receive a hot, meal. Established in 2001, the Food Lion Charitable Foundation provides financial support for programs and organizations dedicated to feeding the hungry.
He said only employees of an emergency medical service, which bills patients for services, are exempt. “The fire department does not run the EMS (emergency medical service); HIPAA
doesn’t apply,” Tadych said. “The fire department doesn’t qualify unless they operate EMS.” He added that providing a first responder service doesn’t qualify under the HIPAA regulations.

KANNAPOLIS — A Kannapolis firefighter was injured when he fell through the floor of a burning house Sunday night. The firefighter was taken to Carolinas Medical CenterNorthEast, where he was treated and released. The firefighter, who city officials refused to identify, fell through the floorboards of the single-story house at 1907 Dale Earnhardt Blvd., near the intersection with Cannon Boulevard. Maria Bostian, public information officer for the fire department, said firefighters responded to the fire at 10:54 p.m. The house had visible flames and smoke.
The unoccupied house is owned by Kannapolis Real Estate Agency. Karen Whichard, communications director for the city of Kannapolis, said federal privacy regulations exempted the city from providing the firefighter’s name. In an e-mail, Whichard said the city’s Human Resources Department declined to release the name citing the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act, commonly called HIPAA. Questioned further, Whichard said Wally Safrit, the Kannapolis city attorney, said the “matter isn’t public record.” Mike Tadych, an attorney for the N.C. Press Association, said the city does not have grounds to withhold the name.

SLASH FROM 3A Day’s proposed $207.6 million budget would leave the county’s property tax rate at 63 cents. The budget includes $194.7 million in expenditures, nearly unchanged from the current budget adopted in June 2009. However, Day predicts that revenues will fall significantly next year. Property tax revenues are expected to decline by nearly $3 million, due primarily to the closing of the Philip Morris cigarette manufacturing plant. Sales tax revenue is also expected to decline due to state Medicaid reform efforts and a change in the state’s method of distribution. To make up for the antici-

The family and their supporters are calling for action against the law enforcement officers involved in the dog’s death. Juba said a crew from CNN will interview her this week. “We are asking you to not just sweep it under the rug because these guys who were responsible that day wear a

pated shortfall, the county in February eliminated 76 positions. In addition to cutting operating expenses, Day balances the budget by appropriating $1.7 million from the fund balance and using proceeds from the capitalization of interest payments on debt service for new school construction. Despite cutbacks, funding for the public school systems goes up by $1.5 million. No additional county jobs are lost, and Day adds 77 detention officers at the end of the next fiscal year to operate the county’s new detention center. Day includes $1.3 million to pay debt service on special bonds for the N.C. Research Campus in Kannapolis, but not until 2013. Kannapolis officials, who
also must set aside $1.3 million annually for debt service, hope to sell the bonds sooner than that but will need support from the county. Cox said he has been invited to address the commissioners May 26 about the EDC funding cuts. The EDC last week celebrated $67 million of total investment made in the county in the past year. The budget is available online at www.cabarruscounty. us. The public may comment on the budget during a public hearing at 6:30 p.m. June 21. Commissioners will vote after the hearing. While Day holds the line on taxes next year, he will propose a tax increase later to make up for a decrease in property values. In his five-year outlook,
Day says he expects property tax revenue to fall by $8 million in 2013 after the county revalues property, due to the recession. To make up for the loss in revenue, Day recommends either raising the property tax rate to 68.5 cents in fiscal years 2014 and 2015, or raising the tax rate to 67.7 cents fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015. As part of the five-year plan, Day anticipates the full cost of the new detention officers and related positions, adding about $3 million in expenses. Additional debt service approaches $5 million for schools currently under construction in fiscal year 2012. Public school funding increases by $840,000 annually in the five-year plan.
badge,” Juba told the Cabarrus County commissioners. Bella and another pit bull “Jaxson” escaped through a loose slat in the backyard fence, Juba said. A woman who encountered the dogs called authorities. “She saw two pit bulls and got nervous,” Juba said. “I totally understand.” Jaxson jumped into a police car when an officer opened the door. But Bella continued to evade officers. While some law enforcement officials have said the dog acted aggressively, neighbors who witnessed the incident say Bella never charged or snapped, Juba said. Eventually, Animal Control Officer Sean Austin arrived and tried to catch Bella. When that failed, he shot the dog. Families and children who had been trying to help catch Bella witnessed the shooting, Juba said.
“We believe that if this had been a different type of dog... the word ‘aggressive’ would not have been used and a gun would not have been pulled,” Daniels told county commissioners. “This was an avoidable tragedy, and we are begging you to look into it further.” When Daniels and Juba went to retrieve Jaxson and Bella’s body, they learned that Bella’s body had been destroyed. They videotaped their discussion with Austin. Later, Daniels was arrested and charged with communicating threats to another sheriff’s deputy who lives in the neighborhood and was involved in the incident, Juba said. Daniels will appear in court June 2. “We want to see better training for animal control officers,” Juba said. “They are not trigger happy.” The sheriff’s office is conducting an internal investiga-
tion into the shooting, said Jay White, chairman of the Board of Commissioners. He and county attorney Richard Koch will review the investigation and make it public, White said. “I can’t give a deadline, but my goal is to have that released to the public by the end of this week,” Koch said. “That’s about as much as I can say about it as this point.” White said he would contact Juba and Daniels to request any additional statements or information they have, “to make sure we have both sides.”

and outside the department. The final decision comes down to Peters, but he said he will have the town board’s input. The people greeting Adams Sunday afternoon learned the chief still has a firm handshake. “He breaks my hand every Sunday,” his pastor said.

Last week, the Granite Quarry-Faith Police Department made a public appeal for the location of Kimberly Marie Thompson, who left home April 14. First Sgt. R.T.

BLUEBIRDS
There’s nothing like a successful bluebird house to forge an immediate appreciation of nature. It’s also pretty amazing how tolerant bluebirds are of nosy humans fascinated by the birds’ dedication to family. A male and female hook up in late winter and set about building their home. The female constructs the nest, while the male remains close by, protecting the home. It doesn’t seem fair that the male bluebird is more colorful than the female, since she accomplishes much of the early work.

The female lays three to six eggs (all a beautiful blue), which have an incubation period of two weeks. Both parents then begin a constant hunt for food because the fledglings require nourishment about every 20 minutes. The babies leave the nest within 16 to 18 days after hatching, flying to the nearest perch or small tree. The father soon takes over their care and training, while the mother starts in again on building a new nest. These same parents will have two to three broods a year, but they never use the same nest. Eastham and the Oak Park folks clean out their log birdhouses after the youngsters have flown away so they can watch the process all over again. This spring, Oak Park is five-for-five in raising its first round of bluebird families. No bird's song is more associated with the return of spring than the bluebird's; nor is there a bird's note more expressive of the passing season than the
bluebird's autumn call of “far-away, far-away.� — Frank M. Chapman, “Birdlife� (1897) Bluebirds are ingrained in our culture beyond song and verse. Think of all the Bluebird buses and motor homes you’ve seen. Long ago, Datsun even made a Bluebird model car. A bluebird tattoo on a sailor’s chest meant that he had logged 5,000 sea miles. Surely, many towns and cities still have their Bluebird Cafes. Bluebirds have their enemies: urban development, sparrows and starlings and egg-hunting snakes. But Eastham relies on the specially produced log homes for Oak Park bluebirds and the constant monitoring by residents to keep most problems at bay. If you’ve noticed pink and blue balloons at Oak Park, they’re celebrating the new bluebird arrivals. As summer turns up the heat, we won’t think of bluebirds as much. Again, they’re a spring thing in our minds. Thank goodness the Oak Park residents have a longer attention span.

FROM 1A Espel, Betty and Bart Bartholomew, Doris and Walter Leather, Becky Lounsberry and others all took their turns. The little birds seemed like family. Walter Leather serves as the official photographer, documenting each step. He labels and dates the back of his prints and also includes the location. Oak Park has five houses for bluebirds this spring along the property’s perimeter. Eastham hopes to have a bluebird trail of at least 25 houses next year— something that residents will be able to check on during their walks. “This is like the perfect land for it, too,� Eastham said of the farmland bordering their three-story community off Enon Church Road. The trail also could provide ready-made projects for Scouting groups — another way for the retired residents to interact with the community. And who knows, maybe Oak Park’s bluebird trail might serve as a model for others, Eastham said.

This file image provided by NASA of the slick was captured on Tuesday, April 27. Marine scientists fear that two powerful Gulf currents will carry the oil to other reefs: the eastward flowing loop current could spread the oil about 450 miles to the Florida Keys, while the Louisiana coastal current could move the oil as far west as central Texas.

underwater plumes of oil that could poison or suffocate sea life across the food chain, with damage that could last for a decade or more. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Monday that the researchers’ announcement of the oil plumes was premature and that further tests are needed to confirm that the plumes detected were indeed caused by the blowout.

success with a mile-long tube that is funneling a little more than 42,000 gallons of crude a day from the well into a tanker ship. That would be about a fifth of the 210,000 gallons the company estimated is gushing out each day, though scientists who have studied video of the leak say it could be much bigger. Crews will slowly increase how much they are collecting over the next few days. They need to move slowly to prevent the formation of the icelike crystals that doomed the effort to lower a big concrete-and-steel box over the blown-out well. BP initially said it hoped the system would capture most of the leaking oil, but Suttles said Monday that officials would be pleased if the tube eventually sucks up half of it. The siphoning is not a permanent solution. BP is preparing to shoot a mixture known as drilling mud into the well later this week in a procedure called a “top-kill” that would take several weeks but, if successful, would stop the flow altogether. Two relief wells are also being drilled to pump cement into the well to close it, but that will take months. Chemicals being sprayed underwater are helping to disperse the oil and keep it from washing ashore in great quantities, but researchers said that in recent days they have discovered miles-long

In other developments: • Chris Oynes, who oversees offshore drilling programs at the federal Minerals Management Service, will retire at the end of the month, becoming the Interior Department’s first casualty of the disaster. Oynes has been criticized as too cozy with the oil industry. • The White House will establish a presidential commission to investigate the spill, according to an administration official speaking of condition of anonymity. • California Sen. Barbara Boxer and other Democrats are calling on the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation. • BP said it has spent $500 million on the spill so far. • The oil company said it will never again try to produce oil from the well, though it did not rule out drilling elsewhere in the reservoir. “The right thing to do is permanently plug this well, and that’s what we will do,” said Doug Suttles, BP chief operating officer. William Hogarth, dean of the University of South Florida’s College of Marine Science, said one computer model showed oil had already entered the loop current, while a second model showed the oil was three miles from it. Mike Sole, Florida’s environmental protection secretary, said the edge could still be two to 18 miles away. BP said it is having some

ROBERT, La. (AP) — With BP finally gaining some control over the amount of oil spewing into the Gulf of Mexico, scientists are increasingly worried that huge plumes of crude already spilled could get caught in a current that would carry the mess all the way to the Florida Keys and beyond, damaging coral reefs and killing wildlife. Scientists said the oil will move into the so-called loop current soon if it hasn’t already, though they could not say exactly when or how much there would be. Once it is in the loop, it could take 10 days or longer to reach the Keys. “It’s only a question of when,” said Peter Ortner, a University of Miami oceanographer. In the month since an offshore drilling platform exploded, killing 11 workers, BP has struggled to stop the leak, trying in vain to activate emergency valves and lowering a 100-ton box that got clogged with icy crystals. Over the weekend, the oil company finally succeeded in using a stopper-and-tube combination to siphon some of the gushing oil into a tanker, but millions of gallons are already in the Gulf. The loop current is a ribbon of warm water that begins in the Gulf of Mexico and wraps around Florida. Some scientists project the current will draw the crude through the Keys and then up Florida’s Atlantic Coast, where the oil might avoid the beaches of Miami and Fort Lauderdale but could wash up around Palm Beach. Many scientists expect the oil to get no farther north than Cape Canaveral, midway up the coast, before it is carried out to sea and becomes more and more diluted. The pollution could endanger Florida’s shoreline mangroves, seagrass beds and the third-longest barrier reef in the world, the 221-mile-long Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, which helps draw millions of snorkelers, fishermen and other tourists whose dollars are vital to the state’s economy. Pollutants can smother and kill corals — living creatures that excrete a hard exterior skeleton — or can hinder their ability to reproduce and grow. That, in turn, could harm thousands of species of exotic and colorful fish and other marine life that live in and around reefs.
U.S. missionary convicted in Haiti, but free to go PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — The last of 10 Americans detained while trying to take 33 children out of Haiti after the Jan. 12 earthquake was freed Monday when a judge convicted her but sentenced her to time already served in jail. Laura Silsby, the organizer of the ill-fated effort to take the children to an orphanage being set up in the neighboring Dominican Republic, returned to her cell briefly to retrieve belongings before quickly heading to the Port-auPrince airport. “I’m praising God,” Silsby told The Associated Press as she waited for a flight out of Haiti. She declined to answer further questions before clearing immigration and heading through a gate to catch a plane to Florida. The Idaho businesswoman had been in custody since Jan. 29. She was originally charged with kidnapping and criminal association, but those charges were dropped for her and the nine other Americans who were previously released. Silsby was convicted of arranging
illegal travel under a 1980 statute restricting movement out of Haiti signed by then-dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier. Prosecutor Jean-Serge Joseph said she was convicted and sentenced to the 3 months and 8 days she spent behind bars. Last week, the prosecution had recommended a six-month sentence and she faced a maximum of three years on the charge. “She is free,” Joseph said. The 40-year-old Silsby told the court earlier she thought the children were orphans whose homes were destroyed in the earthquake. But she lacked the proper papers to remove them from the country at a time when the government was restricting adoptions to prevent child trafficking in the chaos that followed the disaster. An AP investigation later revealed all the children had at least one living parent, who had turned their children over to the group in hopes of securing better lives for them. Silsby and others in the group, mostly members of the same Baptist church in Idaho,
insisted they had only come to Haiti to help. They unwittingly helped draw attention to the dark side of the adoption industry in Haiti, where children for many years have been abandoned by their parents or sold into slavery. In February, a Haitian judge released eight of the Americans after concluding they had not knowingly engaged in any crime. The judge released a ninth member, Silsby’s friend and former nanny, Charisa Coulter, in March. Silsby was held the longest because she organized the venture and prosecutors insisted she knew that she did not have the proper authorization to take the children out of Haiti. She was prosecuted with Jean Sainvil, an Atlanta-based pastor born in Haiti who allegedly helped find the children for the missionaries. The pastor, facing the same charge as Silsby, was not in Haiti and was being tried in absentia. The status of his case was not immediately clear.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Treasury Department said Monday it will lose $1.6 billion on a loan made to Chrysler in early 2009. Taxpayer losses from bailing out Chrysler and General Motors are expected to rise as high as $34 billion, congressional auditors have said. Treasury said Monday that Chrysler repaid $1.9 billion of a $4 billion loan, which was extended before the company filed for Chapter 11. The government hopes to get another $500 million from the company that emerged from bankruptcy, Chrysler Group LLC. The original loan was made in January 2009, when the
Bush administration was scrambling to rescue Chrysler, GM and their auto financing arms. The Congressional Budget Office estimated in March that the government’s $85 billion bailout of the automakers would cost taxpayers $34 billion. Much of it will depend on how much the government recovers from its eventual sale of nearly 61 percent of GM and about 10 percent of Chrysler. GM has said it could conduct a public stock offering later this year. Chrysler officials have said a public stock offering is not likely before
2011. The Treasury Department made the announcement about the loss from Chrysler on a day when GM reported its first quarterly profit in nearly three years. That moved GM closer to a stock offering that would repay at least part of the $43 billion it owes the government. GM on Monday announced it had made net income of $865 million, or $1.66 a share, in the first quarter. That compared with a loss of $6 billion, or $9.78 a share, a year earlier. Debt and other expenses were cut by its stay in bankruptcy court last year. Strong newmodel sales also helped, GM said.

HELP FOR A FINE FEATHERED FRIEND
Get outdoors — it’s good for you CONCORD — Much time and effort has gone into studies and reports regarding the benefits of being out in nature. But that only confirms what your parents and grandparents already knew: Being outdoors is good for you. Information from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife site shows research has found that children who feel connected to nature have better physical, mental and emotional health. A study by Marc Berman, a psychologist at the University of Michigan cited in the Boston Globe, reports that “when (children) are surrounded by trees and animals (they) are less likely to have behavioral problems and are better able to focus on a particular task.” (You can read the entire article at: http://www.childrenandnature.org/) All the studies indicate children (and adults) engaged in outdoor activities are more focused, more motivated to learn, achieve more and get higher grades. Likewise, studies suggest that families that interact together outdoors create lasting bonds by making life-long memories. The Bass Pro Shops’ National Go Outdoors Event is a way to give kids (and adults) the chance to learn about the outdoors and the reason why is simple. Kids need this chance to reconnect with the outdoors to learn valuable lessons — how to swim, how to camp, first aid, survival techniques, orienteering, conservation — but more importantly, to become good stewards of the land and its natural resources. During the National Go Outdoors Event at Bass Pro Shops, 8181 Concord Mills Boulevard, May 21-31, kids (and adults) can get off their couches and go enjoy the great outdoors. You can also register for the “Ultimate Outdoor Package,” which has a retail value of nearly $9,000. The following events are free:

Wildlife Officer Jeremy Harrill tends to the eagle before it was transported to the Carolina Raptor Center.
Injured eagle sent to raptor center When Tom File saw an injured eagle on the shoreline of High Rock Lake last week, he told fellow fisherman Jeff Roe about it. The Salisbury fishermen contacted Sgt. Anthony Sharum of the N.C. Wildlife Commission, noting the location of the bird when last seen. Roe went to Tamarac Marina and picked up Sharum, transporting him by bass boat at top speed to the place where the eagle was last seen. Upon arriving, a mature bald eagle flew from a cluttered cove filled with logs. Roe, having an “eagle eye” himself, quickly spotted the bird sitting on a log. Sharum was able to capture the juvenile bald eagle, which appeared to be 7-8 weeks old . The bird was transported to Tamarac Marina, where Wildlife Officer Jeremy Harrill and Bob Pendergrass of Dan Nicholas Park were waiting. Pendergrass, supervisor of the nature and learning center at the park and a expert in raptors, quickly checked the bird and found it to be extremely weak and underweight. He said if the bird had not been rescued, it likely would not have survived much longer. The Carolina Raptor Center of Charlotte was contacted and the eagle was quickly transferred there for emergency veterinarian treatment. The outlook for recovery appears good thanks to the sharp eyes and ears of Roe and File. The Carolina Raptor Center is dedicated to environmental stewardship and the conservation of birds of prey through education, research and the rehabilitation of injured and orphaned raptors. The center is a charitable 501(c)(3) non-
Jeff Roe of Salisbury stands with Wildlife Officer Anthony Sharum. profit organization that relies on public financial support for environmental education programs that reach approximately 40,000 students each year. Approximately 700 injured or orphaned raptors are brought to Carolina Raptor Center’s Jim Arthur Raptor Rehabilitation Center each year. Credit for this large number belongs to people in our community who care enough to take action when they see an
injured bird. These concerned citizens bring many birds directly to Carolina Raptor Center, while others arrive in the capable hands of Carolina Raptor Center’s transport volunteers. Some raptors come from other wildlife rehabilitators, who may need a second opinion in a particular case or may not have large enough cages. To contact the Carolina Raptor Rescue Team, call 704-875-6521, ext. 111.

It’s alumni week on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ NEW YORK (AP) — Former “Dancing with the Stars” contestants Melissa Rycroft and Joey Fatone will return to the dance floor this week by performing the tango — together. It’s the first time the show has ever paired up two celebrities. Pro Mark Ballas will choreograph the number. Fatone and Rycroft were picked by fans to perform in a contest called Design a Dance. Viewers also chose the dance style, song and costume design. The two will dance to “Rock and Roll All Nite” by Kiss. Fatone, a member of boy band ’N Sync, and Rycroft, Jason Mesnick’s jilted fiancee on “The Bachelor,” both did well in their respective turns on the show. Fatone was runner-up in season four, while Rycroft placed third in season eight. Still, they believe they’ll need all the help they can get to pull off the tango. “We’ll probably have an hour attention span before we both just lose focus,” jokes Rycroft.

ing the same method and dough I’ve been making every week over the past year, I now can kick it up a notch with Turkish-style pita bread with black sesame seeds, cherry tomato baguettes, rosemary Parmesan breadsticks and pain au potiron (peppery pumpkin and olive oil loaf). I tell you, this new book offers heaven in the oven for health-conscious bread lovers. I love the chapter on sneaky breads. Jeff and Zoe give clever tips and tricks for how to incorporate fruits and vegetables into dough, resulting in tasty and healthy creations that kids will love. They just won’t know about the brown rice, parsley, garlic and bulgur wheat that go into their favorite bread. For those of you with family members who must eat gluten-free, there are recipes for you, too. The best part about my favorite artisan bread books is that I have two new friends. Even though we never have met in person, I feel as if I know Jeff and Zoe. That’s because they’ve spoken to me on every page. They have taught me how to be a better baker — and now a much healthier baker, too! Join the bread-baking conversation at my blog, http://www.MoneyRulesDebtStinks.com. I’ll try to answer your questions, and I want to know how you’re doing with baking your own artisan bread!

Dear Need: You can choose to be friends with anyone you like, but if you’re in a committed relationship, your current guy should be looped in on this friendship with your former guy — or at least be aware of it. Drunk texting isn’t a friendship deal breaker, necessarily. But these incidents give you an opportunity to clear the air with “Randy.” If he does this again and apologizes later, ask him honestly if he feels able to have a friendship. Based on his behavior, you get to decide whether it’s possible for you.

Melissa Rycroft One challenge for the couple is limited time to rehearse. Fatone lives in Orlando and Rycroft lives in Dallas, so the two said they would only have a week or so to practice. This is a contrast to the amount of time that partners usually have to work on a number. “You (normally) see your partner every day, four or five hours a day, nonstop. It’s crazy,” says Fatone.

It’s been more than a year since I began baking bread. I don’t bake just once in a while. I’m talking almost every day. I know what you’re thinking: “Did she retire? Has she lost her mind?” I understand your confusion because, quite MARY frankly, a HUNT year ago I would have thought the same thing. But that was before I became such a big fan of the method described in the book “Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day.” In a nutshell, I make a big batch of bread dough once a week using the master recipe. I’m not kidding when I say it takes all of about five minutes to measure, dump and mix. Then I park the dough in the refrigerator. Each morning, I turn on the oven, grab a wad of dough from the fridge, form it on a cutting board and allow it to rise while I get ready for the day. Then, in the oven it goes. Twenty-five minutes later, voila!, I’ve got bakeryquality, hot, rustic artisan bread. That book has really changed my life because now instead of paying $4 for a loaf of bread, I can make it for about 40 cents a loaf! Besides the cost savings, there’s just something soul-satisfying about making bread even when you have a very busy life outside the kitchen. You have to know how excited I was to get my hands on Jeff Hertzberg and Zoe Francois’ second helping of fabulous bread recipes, “Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day: 100 New Recipes Featuring Whole Grains, Fruits, Vegetables, and Gluten-Free Ingredients.” Oh, my. I feel as if I’m in the advanced baking class now. Talk about healthy! Us-

Dear Amy: I have a dilemma involving my exboyfriend, whom I’m still
friends with. “Randy” and I dated for a few months after my ex-boyfriend, “Jim,” and I broke up. I liked Randy a lot, but it ended because I was still in love with Jim. A week or two after Randy and I broke up, I went back with Jim. I have been friends with Randy since then. He seemed to want that. However, there have been two occasions where he’s gotten drunk and texted me, saying everything was his fault and that I’m his favorite and he misses me. He always apologizes afterward, but I think it’s an indication that our friendship is futile. Should I tell him I think we can’t be friends at the moment? Or should I just stop contacting him until he gets the hint? I’d like him to be my friend, but I don’t want to hurt him, especially if I al-

Dear Survivor: I agree with you that this is an extremely important decision, and my view is that you should tell your children about what happened to you. This knowledge could provide a context to some difficulties and unanswered questions from their own childhoods.
Secrecy is part of the dangerous and damaging legacy of abuse, and you should not transfer this secret along to your children as you unburden yourself. Don’t ask them to keep this secret (though they may on their own choose not to disclose it). You should try to prepare yourself for the possibility that their reaction will disappoint or dismay you. This knowledge could rock their worlds (at least temporarily) and affect their relationships with their extended family — and also with you. Discuss this with your husband in your therapist’s office. He should be your full partner as you think this through, but the choice will ultimately be yours to make.

Would there be any benefit in sharing what happened with my children, who are now in their 20s? I feel that it might help my relationship with them. Knowing this would enable them to understand the stress of family events and me better. I do know that “keeping secrets” can be uncomfortable, and I don’t want to burden them for no benefit, but I’m pretty sure they have some questions. — Survivor With Secrets

Dear Amy: In my mid-30s, about 12 years ago, I began to have “anxiety attacks.” Because of sexual attacks by an older brother when I was elementary-school age, I was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. With the help of a wonASK derful theraAMY pist, my husband and a few close friends, the panic attacks and nightmares have been nearly gone for a few years now. Early on, I decided it was best not to tell my children and parents about this. We live a few hours away from most of my family. I’ve tried to maintain relationships with my family for my and my children’s sake.

DESPITE CONCERNS, A GOOD IDEA
Expanding DNA testing V shows such as “Bones” and “Cold Case” make police investigations seem much more dramatic than the methodical reality of the typical case, but they’re true to life in one important respect: High-tech tools such as DNA testing and computerized databases have revolutionized the investigation of murder, rape and other violent crimes. DNA testing has helped put dangerous criminals behind bars and exonerated others who were wrongly convicted. Its importance as an investigative tool is the reason North Carolina and most other states take DNA samples from convicted felons. But Gov. Bev Perdue and N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper want to revise state law so that DNA samples can be taken from anyone who has been arrested on a felony charge. Proponents of the change, including the State Bureau of Investigation, believe the expanded DNA testing would help solve cases more quickly, potentially taking violent criminals off the streets before they have a chance to commit another crime. And in a real-life “Cold Case” scenario, it could help connect suspects to unsolved crimes where DNA samples are available. Expanded DNA testing does raise some privacy and civil-liberty concerns concerns. Although DNA testing is often compared to the fingerprints routinely taken from suspects now, the issue isn’t that simple. Providing a fingerprint is different from providing a sample of a bodily fluid. Fingerprints can help identify a culprit, but unless you’re into fortune-telling, they don’t reveal any secrets beyond identity. An individual’s DNA, on the other hand, can unlock highly personal information about genetic makeup, ancestry and a person’s health or predisposition to some illnesses. Much of that information isn’t germane to a criminal investigation, obviously, and the law would need to stipulate that only relevant DNA information would be gathered and recorded. Any revision in the law also would need to ensure that, in the event a suspect is exonerated, the test results should be destroyed, not permanently entered in a DNA database. In calling for expanded DNA testing, Perdue has asked the state legislature to allocate $700,000 to get the extended program going. That would pay for an additional forensic specialist and provide statewide training for those who would be taking and processing the additional DNA samples. Although every budget item will undergo scrutiny this year, this one deserves an especially close look. Expanded DNA testing won’t solve every crime, but testing felony suspects could expedite investigations by identifying the innocent as well as implicating the guilty.

SALISBURY POST
ooking at the list of commencement speakers this year, one finds them predictably liberal. Glenn Beck spoke at Liberty University, but that's a conservative school. There is Alec Baldwin, the leftist actor/activist (New York University); Anderson Cooper, news anchor at ratings-challenged CNN (Tulane University); Rachel Maddow, lefty commentator at another unCAL watched netTHOMAS work -MSNBC, she spoke at Smith College in Northampton, Mass., where 25 years ago I was shouted down by a group of lesbian students. There is also Michelle Obama (George Washington University); Katie Couric (Case Western Reserve); and Meryl Streep, whom the Washington Post described as “the woman that every woman, young or old, aspires to be.” Really? Streep spoke at Barnard College. It’s been many years since I
was asked to deliver a commencement address, so I’ve had a lot of time to think about what I might say. This would be my abridged speech to the Class of 2010: I’ve just observed the 50th anniversary of my high school graduation. When my father went to his 50th, I thought he was an old man. I don’t feel old. Where will you be in 50 years? You can plan now. Ask people older than yourself to tell you their mistakes so you can avoid making the same ones. You will make enough of your own. We live in a “feelings” world, not an intellectual one. “It can’t be wrong when it feels so right,” says the song lyric. Yes it can, and often is. Make economic and relational choices based on cold hard facts, not feelings. Feelings come and go. Truth remains forever. Live within your means. There is no shame in being middle class, even poor. What is shameful is being in debt, which enslaves you to outside forces at high interest rates. Look at debtor governments, including America. Economic freedom is a precious gift. If
you can’t afford something, don’t buy it to satisfy your lusts. Marry someone who will be your partner in every way and then have children. Living together first robs you both of a great mystery. Statistics show it also reduces your chances for a successful marriage. Your value does not lie in how much money you make, who you know or what office you hold. Make your goal more than accumulating money and buying stuff that eventually winds up in an estate sale. Contribute something to a fellow human being. Improving another life is not only a gift to that person, but to you. Don't forget God. There is no greater question than: “Does God exist and if He does, has He a plan for my life that I can know?” The answer determines your direction in this life and the next. In the words of an anonymous Irish blessing: I wish you not a path devoid of clouds, nor a life on a bed of roses. Not that you might never need regret, nor that you should never feel pain, No, that is not my wish for you.
My wish for you is: That you might be brave in times of trial, When others lay crosses upon your shoulders. When mountains must be climbed, And chasms are to be crossed, When hope can scarce shine through. That every gift God gave you might grow along with you. And let you give your gift of joy to all who care for you. That you may always have a friend who is worth that name. Whom you can trust, And who helps you in times of sadness, Who will defy the storms of daily life at your side. One more wish I have for you: That in every hour of joy and pain, you may feel God close to you. This is my wish for you and for all who care for you. This is my hope for you, Now and forever. Now go hit the beach! • • • E-mail Cal Thomas at tmseditors@tribune.com.
You’ve gotta be kidding A sampling of humor from late-night TV hosts: “According to the top people in the petroleum industry, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico will not affect gas prices. They said, ‘They were going up anyway.’ ” — Jay Leno
LETTERS Why is the Arizona law so terrible? The silence over Arizona’s immigration law enforcing the federal statutes is deafening. Since the 535 members of the royalty ensconced in Congress refuse to uphold constitutional law, the 10th amendment empowers the states to fill the vacuum. Federal abrogation of its responsibilities doesn’t prevent American citizens from complying with the law. This state action is not a challenge to federal law because federal legislation doesn’t exist; Republican desire for cheap labor and Democratic yearning for Hispanic votes are not sufficient reason to violate the laws. Adopting political correctness as a rationale for refusing to perform the “people’s business” is a sad excuse for inaction. Daily, Americans read about border conditions, whether a farmer is shot, his animals stolen or drugs bought across the border. Arizonians live in fear because a criminal could quickly return to Mexico, and capturing the culprit becomes a dream. Or, what about congressional efforts to erect a barrier against terrorism? Unfortunately, most Americans have not read Arizona SB1070, which can be read or copied via the computer. The act’s intent relates to “unlawfully present aliens.” Enforcement agencies are required to use “reasonable suspicion,” a standard rule applied by law enforcement agencies throughout the country. Aggrieved persons may challenge any legal findings in court and apply section 2, paragraph G of the Arizona law in his/her defense. Nowhere in the act is there profiling or any specific reference to Hispanics, Canadians or Syrians, but just to “persons” crossing our borders illegally, making them illegal. We Carolinians have but one way of compelling our congressional agents, servants, to obey the law and make the law equal for all: not like their self-aggrandized ex-

Parents at fault I have read the letters pertaining to the Knox Middle School students who refused to stand and recite the pledge of allegiance. I too am shocked and appalled at that behavior. I consider myself moderate in the political realm, so don’t say that I’m an ultra conservative loud mouth. To the two students who think they should be respected, you have to be kidding me, and to the person who said you wish they had stood and recited the pledge but you respect their right not to, you have to be kidding me. Do these kids work and pay taxes? The only right they have in this scenario is to be provided a quality education, which is rather doubtful considering the material with which to work. Perhaps they would be more patriotic in a communist country where they would be forced to do so? The lack of discipline in the home flows over to the classroom. It’s not the teachers’ fault. It’s the parents who have allowed this type of behavior. When I was growing up, it was unthinkable not to stand and put my hand over my heart. I still get cold chills when the Star Spangled Banner is sung. I shudder to think where this country will be in 50 years. — Cathy Wirz China Grove

WASHINGTON (AP) — For all the primaries testing tea party clout and veteran senators’ ability to survive, a special House election in southwestern Pennsylvania is the multimillion-dollar battleground of choice Tuesday for the two political parties, previewing themes for a fall campaign shadowed by recession and voter discontent. Competing economic prescriptions, the appeal of President Barack Obama’s health care legislation, the Republicans’ ability to woo crossover support from independents and Democrats all are at issue, according to officials in both parties, in a race that also features a struggle for the political high ground as Washington outsider. The House race features Republican Tim Burns against Democrat Mark Critz to fill out the final few months in the term of the late Democratic Rep. John Murtha. But the two national parties made it something more than that when they decided several weeks ago to invest heavily — roughly $1 million apiece independent of their candidates. “This is the kind of district that the Republicans have to win if their hype is to even begin to meet the reality on the ground,” said Maryland Rep. Chris Van Hollen, the head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. He was poking at GOP boasts that the party will win the 40 seats this fall that it needs to take power in the House. “This is the fall. This is where it happens,” said Rep. Pete Sessions of Texas, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee.
Video contradicts police version of how girl was killed DETROIT (AP) — An attorney for the family of a 7-yearold girl who was killed by a police officer’s bullet during a weekend raid at their home said Monday that he saw video of the raid that contradicts the police department’s version of what happened. Attorney Geoffrey Fieger said he watched three or four minutes of video that showed police fired into the home after lobbing a flash grenade through the window. He said this contradicts the police department’s story, which was that the officer’s gun discharged during a struggle or collision inside the home with the girl’s grandmother. “There is no question about what happened because it’s in the videotape,” Fieger said. “It’s not an accident. It’s not a mistake. There was no altercation. “The gun was fired before anyone goes through the door. There are lights all over, like it’s a television set.” A camera crew for the cable television crime-reality series “The First 48” was at the raid, although Fieger declined to say whether the video he watched was shot by the crew.
Iraq detains militant suspected of plotting attack on World Cup

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi security forces have detained an al-Qaida militant suspected of planning an attack targeting the World Cup in South Africa next month, an official said Monday. Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, a spokesman for Baghdad security services, said Abdullah Azam Saleh al-Qahtani was an officer in the Saudi army. He is suspected of planning a “terrorist act” in South Africa during the World Cup beginning June 11, al-Moussawi told a news conference in Baghdad. He said al-Qahtani entered Iraq in 2004 and is suspected
CLEVELAND (AP) — A U.S. immigration court has granted asylum to President Barack Obama’s African aunt, allowing her to stay in the country and setting her on the road to citizenship after years of legal wrangling, her attorneys announced Monday. The decision was made by a judge in U.S. Immigration Court in Boston and mailed out Friday. It comes three months after Kenya native Zeituni Onyango, the half-sister of Obama’s late father, testified at a closed hearing in Boston. People who seek asylum must show that they face persecution in their homeland on
Medical issues also could have played a role. In a November interview with The Associated Press, Onyango said she was disabled and was learning to walk again after being paralyzed from GuillainBarre syndrome, an autoimmune disorder. At her hearing in Boston earlier this year, she arrived in a wheelchair and two doctors testified in support of her case.

BANGKOK (AP) — The Thai government said Monday it would accept a cease-fire offer from a “Red Shirt” protest leader if their fighters end raging street battles and return to their main camp in central Bangkok, as the death toll from five days of violence rose to 37. The offer was made by Red Shirt leader Nattawut Saikuwa, who called the government’s chief negotiator, Korbsak Sabhavasu, on his cell phone, Korbsak said. It was the first direct talks between the two sides since the fighting started Thursday, but Korbsak said it was unlikely to achieve much as the two sides still remained far apart. Nattawut’s response was not immediately known. Calls to his phone went unanswered. Earlier, a Thai government ultimatum passed for the thousands of protesters — who have been camping in an upscale commercial district for more than a month in a bid to force the government from power — to vacate the barricaded protest zone by 3 p.m. or face up to two years in prison. Meanwhile, unrest flared in various parts of the downtown area outside the barricades, with troops firing live ammunition at protesters who were lighting tires to hide their positions. The thick smoke darkened the sky. The Red Shirts, many of whom hail from the impoverished north and northeast, are trying to unseat Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and force immediate elections. They say the coalition government came to power through manipulation of the courts and the backing of the powerful military, and that it symbolizes a national elite indifferent to their plight.

Prison forever? Supreme Court rules on sex offenders, juveniles who didn’t kill victims WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court took two cracks at one of the law’s thorniest questions Monday: When can you lock up a prisoner and throw away the key? Not when it’s a teenager who hasn’t killed anyone, the justices said. But when it’s a “sexually dangerous” inmate, maybe so, even if he has completed his federal prison sentence. By a 5-4 vote, the court said young people serving life prison terms must have “a meaningful opportunity to obtain release” if they haven’t killed their victims. The majority opinion by Justice Anthony Kennedy extended the “children are different” rationale that drove his decision five years ago that outlawed the death penalty for killers under 18. The court ruled in the case of Terrance Graham, who was implicated in armed robberies when he was 16 and 17. Graham, now 23, is in prison in Florida, which holds 60 percent of juvenile defendants who are locked up for life for crimes other than homicide. “The state has denied him any chance to later demonstrate that he is fit to rejoin society based solely on a nonhomicide crime that he committed while he was a child in the eyes of the law,” Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in his majority opinion. “This the Eighth Amendment does not permit.” In a second case, the court voted 7-2 to uphold a federal law that allows for the indefinite imprisonment of inmates considered mentally ill and “sexually dangerous,” no matter that their sentences have been served.

BY BRET STRELOW An unforgettable weekend for the county’s prep track and field teams closed in acrobatic fashion. North Rowan’s girls — buoyed by a title-clinching effort from the 4x400 t e a m o f T a tiana Banks, Corbin Bennett, A k e v i a Charleston a n d Timesheia Allen — won ALLEN the 1A state c h a m p i onship Friday in Greensboro. East Rowan played host to the 3A Midwest Regional on Saturday, and the 4x400 was again a source of drama. Joseph Furtado — the anchor of a relay also involving Hunter Arey, FURTADO Evan Hiatt and Ben Hancock — collapsed into coach Rick Roseman’s arms following an inspired run that

enabled East’s boys to share the regional title with A.L. Brown while honoring the memory of Jamey “Big Daddy” Ledbetter. At roughly the same time in Greensboro, Salisbury’s boys were putting the finishing touches on a second consecutive 2A state championship. Assistant coach Todd Allen, a decathlete during his college days at Livingstone, celebrated the same way he had a year earlier. Back-toback titles meant another backflip. “The kids got me pumped ALLEN up to do it,” he said. “A lot of guys knew I could do one, but some didn’t believe me.” Neither Salisbury’s boys nor North’s girls finished first in a county meet filled with deep and talented teams, but MVP performances from junior Romar Morris and sophomore Teaunna Cuthbertson at North Carolina A&T translated into success at the state level.

CHINA GROVE — It was a small miracle that Shanna Stewart played volleyball at all as a senior. She was recovering slowly from knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus (skiing accident) when she was hammered with an emotional trauma that dwarfed her physical discomfort. Stewart’s father, Barry, was killed in a motorcycle accident in August, about the time school was starting and about the time Stewart was trying to impress demanding new coach Kelan Rogers while hobbling on one leg. “Shanna missed our first week because of that big personal loss and she also was rehabbing her leg, just a few months removed from surgery,” Rogers said. “I thought she might decide not to play.” Stewart had been all-county previously, but that didn’t mean squat in the present. Rogers was intent on changing Carson’s mindset from competing to winning. He wanted results, not press clippings. Stewart could see it was easily the best team Carson had ever

LOS ANGELES — Even on a balky Lakers 128 knee, Kobe Suns 107 Bryant had no problem giving the Los Angeles Lakers an early leg up in the Western Conference finals. Bryant scored 40 points, Lamar Odom added 19 points with 19 rebounds and the Lakers opened the series with ruthless BRYANT offensive efficiency in a 128-107 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Monday night. Pau Gasol had 21 points for the top-seeded Lakers, who won their seventh straight playoff game and snapped the Suns’ six-game streak with a phenomenal second half, highlighted by Bryant’s 21-point third quarter following an offweek during which he barely stepped on the Lakers’ practice court to rest his litany of minor injuries. “He’s the best scorer in the league,” said Odom, who set a career playoff high for rebounds in his most assertive game of the current postseason. “Drives, fadeaways with his back to the basket, insideoutside, with his left hand. Time off is exactly what he needed.” The defending NBA champions beat the third-seeded Suns at their own uptempo game when necessary, fluidly running the court to set up baskets for Bryant in his sixth straight 30-point game. Bryant then rested his sore knee for most of the fourth quarter in the 11th 40-point game of his playoff career. “They played great, one of the best games I’ve seen them play in the playoffs this season,” Suns coach Alvin Gentry said. “Kobe kind of controlled the whole game.

NPC teams posted an impressive 4-0 sweep in the first round of the 3A baseball playoffs.

Nesbitt’s rocket arm an asset for East softball BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
NESBITT
GRANITE QUARRY — East Rowan junior shortstop Ericka Nesbitt’s speed is tremendous, and that’s only her second-best asset. Her No. 1 weapon is a pow-
erful right arm and a lightning release. “Ericka’s exceptional, as good a shortstop as there is in this state,” said legendary North Davidson coach Mike Lambros. “She’s just got it. The good Lord gave that girl a whole lot of tools, and East
Rowan is as good as anyone we’ve played.” Nesbitt, All-State as a sophomore, has already verbally committed to Campbell. She sparks the Mustangs, ranked third in 3A, as their leadoff hitter. She’s crossed the plate in 19 of 21 games. She’s accumulated
39 hits, 35 runs, 21 RBIs and 28 steals. She’s batting .609 for coach Mike Waddell’s 20-1 team that is scheduled to open the 3A state playoffs at home today against Northwest Cabarrus.

Lyerly completed a stellar career by reaching base safely in his final 88 games. He finished sixth on the NCAA all-time career hit list with 336 and finished fifth all-time with 537 total bases. This season, the senior hit .399 with a team-leading 83
hits. He scored 59 runs, added eight home runs, drove in 54 runs and stole 27 bases. Moore led the team with a .410 batting average and also posted team highs in runs (77), home runs (16), RBI (59) and steals (29). Mullins led the staff in wins, going 83 with a 4.13 ERA. He allowed 92 hits in 891⁄3 innings with 92 strikeouts. Earlier, Lyerly, Moore, starter Nick Lomascolo and reliever Wil Huneycutt were named to the Daktronics all-region team. Lomascolo went 7-3 in his rookie campaign and his 3.45 ERA was lowest among the Indian starters. Huneycutt led the team with four saves and compiled a 5-1 record with a 2.31 ERA. He walked just four batters in 39 innings while fanning 40.

Hall of Fame opens with star power BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press
CHARLOTTE — The NASCAR Hall of Fame opened its doors with a star-studded ceremony showcasing many of its stars. Retired champions Dale Jarrett, Darrell Waltrip and Rusty Wallace sat on stage alongside current drivers Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch and Bobby Labonte. Heavyweight team owners Rick Hendrick and Richard Childress flanked NASCAR chairman Brian France, while Joe Gibbs watched from the audience. The ceremony ended after NASCAR pioneers Richard Petty and Junior Johnson drove replicas of their old cars onto the plaza. The only two living members of the incoming inaugural five-member class, Johnson and Petty received a standing ovation. It was a fitting close to a celebratory day for the sport. But for a few moments, as security cleared the plaza for Petty and Johnson’s arrival, there was a quiet murmur that perhaps NASCAR’s current stars were about to arrive. Missing from last week’s events were Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart and Dale Earnhardt Jr. — the “big dogs” of today’s NASCAR. Gordon, Johnson, Stewart and Matt Kenseth were the only four active Cup champi-
ons missing from the ceremony. Earnhardt, NASCAR’s most popular driver and a twotime champion in NASCAR’s second-tier series, wasn’t there despite the upcoming induction of his father. Their absence did not go unnoticed. Petty, a seven-time champion and NASCAR’s alltime winningest driver, thought their absence was wrong. “A lot of these drivers that are doing pretty well today don’t realize what some of the guys went through to get it to this point,” Petty said last weekend. “A lot of us old timers look back and hope that the guys that are doing it now appreciate what the guys did who laid the groundwork.” All four champions had various reasons for missing the ceremony. Gordon cited a prior commitment and Johnson said he was on one final vacation with his wife before the couple welcomes their first child this summer. The slumping Stewart was testing with his team in Virginia, while a spokesman for Earnhardt said there had been confusion as to which events the driver was to attend. It all speaks to a large scheduling problem. NASCAR runs a 38-race schedule over 11 months that takes drivers and teams from home a minimum of three days a week. Throw in sponsor appearances, business obligations, team meetings and
personal responsibilities, well, it barely leaves time for a haircut some weeks. It doesn’t make skipping certain events right, though. After all, just about everyone, no matter the profession, is busy. Family, work and life’s day-to-day nuances have stretched folks, and it doesn’t matter if they drive race cars for a living. In this instance, current NASCAR drivers could choose to attend three Hall of Fame events honoring the men who over the last six decades paved the track where they now earn their fortunes. Gordon and Johnson said they’ll intend this Sunday’s induction ceremony. So will Earnhardt, who also plans to sit with his family during a Thursday night gala to honor the inductees. Stewart, according to event organizers, is not planning to attend either event. Why? Organizers said they were told the two-time champion is busy, and has places to be and things to do. In fairness to Stewart, he’s far from the only driver who will miss Sunday’s induction. That’s doesn’t make it OK. Junior Johnson, a former moonshiner who turned his ability to build a fast car and outrun the law into a legendary NASCAR career as a driver and owner, said during the opening ceremony that his inclusion in the inaugural class
was “the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me.” Ned Jarrett, a two-time Cup champion, had tears in his eyes when he said if he’s ever elected to the Hall, it would “be the ultimate. If I ever get in here, it’ll be complete.” This Hall of Fame is cherished — and long overdue — to the hundreds of drivers who never got rich, to the mechanics who traded families for race cars, and to the owners who poured every last dime into their pursuit of Victory Lane. Without the France Family, there is no NASCAR. Without Petty, there is no Dale Earnhardt or Jeff Gordon. Without Gordon, there is no Jimmie Johnson. There wasn’t supposed to be any confusion about the importance of this week, either. Attending the induction and making this week spectacular was made easy for everyone when NASCAR made it the final event of All-Star Week. Festivities begin Sunday morning, hours after one driver will pick up a $1 million paycheck — think Richard Petty might have liked an occasional $1 million payday? — for winning the All-Star race. Figuring everybody was already in town for the show, scheduling it for the next day sure seemed like a no-brainer. Alas, many will choose to spend their rare Sunday off on the lake, or with family.
Magic in serious mood after initial loss BY ANTONIO GONZALEZ Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — Play time is over. The trick shots that had become a ritual after Orlando Magic practices were gone Monday. So were the usual jokes and playful banter. They were small but telling signs of just how much has changed in the Eastern Conference finals after the Boston Celtics took home-court advantage, shattering the Magic’s playoff invincibility. Orlando will now have to overcome a loss for the first time in more than six weeks when the Magic face the resur-
LAKERS FROM 1B “I thought we could have withstood the game that he had ... but when he’s making his jumper like that, there’s not a whole lot you can do about it.” Game 2 is Wednesday night at Staples Center. Amare Stoudemire scored 23 points and Steve Nash had 13 points and 13 assists for the
gent Celtics in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals tonight. “It was a good wake-up call for us,” forward Matt Barnes said. “I can’t speak for everyone, but we may have been feeling ourselves too much. They kicked our tail last night, and now we have to get back to work.” There’s plenty on the agenda. The Celtics swarmed Dwight Howard from the opening tip, with four different big men — Kendrick Perkins, Rasheed Wallace, Glen Davis and Kevin Garnett — all taking turns. Boston bullied its way past the Magic in
punishing fashion. Howard was held to 13 points and 12 rebounds on 3-for-10 shooting. But he also had a game-high seven turnovers, some coming at the worst of times. Boston’s scrappy play in the paint, elbows and forearms constantly jabbing, frustrated Howard again. “I’m just playing him tough,” Wallace said. “The difference is I’m clean with it. Some guys who do that, they’re dirty with it. They’re walking under you when you’re shooting a jump shot. I’m just playing him tough. “I don’t do no dirty play. It’s just all tough.”
The ripple effect allowed the Celtics to close out fast on the Magic’s potent 3-point shooters, who went cold — especially early when Boston went ahead by 20 — and never allowed to get in rhythm. Orlando shot 41 percent from the field and 22 percent from beyond the arc. The Magic, who swept Atlanta and Charlotte in the first two rounds, haven’t lost consecutive home games all season. They’re banking on that streak continuing heading into Game 2, or their hopes of redeeming last year’s NBA finals loss to the Lakers could be crushed. “You can’t allow it to happen again,” Howard said.
Suns, who hadn’t lost since April 24. Robin Lopez started at center and scored 14 points in his playoff debut, but Phoenix couldn’t keep up with the champs in its first conference finals appearance since 2006. “They’re probably going to continue to be taller than us as the series goes on, so we’ve got to ... make everything as tough as possible,” said Nash, whose injured eye didn’t bother him. “We played hard, but we didn’t make enough shots, and we had
a few too many breakdowns.” Both teams swept their second-round series to earn their third postseason date in five years, but the Lakers didn’t allow a week off to affect their remarkable execution. Bryant alternated jumpers and strong drives while Los Angeles pulled away. His 13-for-23 shooting performance included three 3-pointers and 11 free throws with just one miss. “Kobe carried a lot of the
offense tonight, no doubt,” Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. Jackson revealed before the game that Bryant’s right knee was drained “a while ago,” moving it to the top of the injury list for last season’s NBA finals MVP. But Bryant didn’t show any obvious effects from his injuries, and he even bounced back up after hitting his head on Jason Richardson’s knee during a drive in the first quarter.

TRACK FROM 1B Cuthbertson won individual titles in the 100-meter hurdles and long jump. She joined Timesheia Allen, Christen Jones and T i a n c a White on a first-place 4x100 team. Morris won the 100, dominated the 200 and ran on a thirdJONES place 4x100 team. His time of 10.54 seconds in the 100 ranks 12th nationally and his 21.47 in the 200 is 24th on a 2010 list that takes wind readings into account. The top marks belong to Alabama’s Keenan Brock (10.37 in the 100) and Texas’ Sheroid Evans (20.82 in the 200). Only New Bern’s Fuquawn Green (10.48 in 100, 21.16 in 200) has better numbers in North Carolina. “Romar setting two (2A) state records, that was pretty impressive,” Salisbury coach Darius Bryson said. “Once we got going with the 4x800 and then Darien (Rankin) cleared 6-8 (in the high jump), I was like, ‘Oh, we’re doing pretty good.’ Then Romar took care of business.” Morris, Rankin, Nick Summers, Philip Tonseth, Dominique Phillips, J o s e p h Figueroa, H a n s o n S a r y e e , D o minique Dismuke, M a r q u i Ross, David PHILLIPS Simons and W i l l i a m Brown were important figures in Salisbury’s pursuit of a second title. On the girls side, Alisha Bradshaw’s victory in the discus helped Salisbury finish second as a team. Meloney Ramos scored 18 points with four top-six finishes. Ramos showed the same type of versatility and endurance as Sam Starks, who led North Rowan’s boys to a tie for sixth in 1A. Starks contributed
“I’d built up a lot of emotions, but, in my mind, I wasn’t going to let it affect my game.” With Breckin Settlemyer, Allison Blackwell, Jennifer Hough and Amber Ingraham, the Cougars had all the kills they needed. Stewart accepted a very specific role as a right-side blocker. She was good at it. The knee affected her laterally more than vertically, and she still had her spring. “She was limited by the knee,” Rogers said. “There were things like diving on the floor and moving sideto-side she couldn’t do as well as before, but she still came through with a really good year for us.” The 5-foot-9 Stewart was satisfied with her contributions to a 22-6 team that reached the final of the NPC tournament and the second round of the 3A state playoffs. “I’ll never forget how we all went insane when we beat (defending state champ) North Iredell, and I had a lot of good blocks during the season,” Stewart said. “Coach would always ask me before a match if I was ready to be a wall, and I’d answer, ‘Yeah, I’ll put it in her face.’ ” Stewart’s senior story has a happy ending, although it’s more a fresh start with a healthy knee than an end.

Located in Charlotte, Johnson & Wales has fielded club teams previously, but its 2010 volleyball squad will debut as a fullfledged varsity team. Johnson & Wales coach Callie Phillips explained that her squad will play a smorgasbord of opponents — D-IIs, D-IIIs, NAIAs and junior colleges — until it grows into its own home court and a conference affiliation. Phillips played for Rogers at West Davidson, where he built a dynasty, and he told her Stewart was a potential recruit. “Hickory Ridge is about five minutes from my house, and I went to see Shanna when Carson played there,” Phillips said. “We know we have a challenge ahead of
us, and I was very interested in Shanna because she’s helped start a program before. She knows a lot of the bumps in the road.” Stewart said Johnson & Wales is the perfect fit, not just because she can keep playing volleyball but because it offers the precise major she sought. Johnson & Wales is known for producing chefs, but what attracted Stewart was the school’s Sports Entertainment Event Management degree. She wants to be an event planner. “I was really picky,” Stewart said. “I wanted a small college with my exact major, and when I found out they were starting volleyball, I knew it was the right place for me. I’m used to helping start things up, and I’ll get to continue that history.”

Cuthbertson and Yasarian “Tinka” Bush are the most heralded members of North’s girls team, but coach Robert Steele’s squad returned to prominence with assists from Allen, Charleston, Jones, White, Banks, Bennett and Kiara Davis. The 4x100, 4x200 and 4x400 teams accounted for a combined three points as North struggled to a seventh-place showing at the 2A state meet in 2009. The Cavs were disqualified for a thrown baton after giving up a lead and placing second in the 4x100, and the 4x200 team didn’t finish the race.
Relays scored 26 of North’s 80 points Saturday. Allen ran in all three. Jones and Charleston competed in two. “We all come together as one,” Allen said. The championship-winning 4x200 team of Bush, Allen, Jones and Charleston wasn’t only fast. It featured two unique nicknames. Bush has answered to “Tinka” since she was young. She took the baton from “Pigg” Allen before completing a blazing final leg in the 4x200. “My paw-paw said I used to eat everything when I was little, so he started calling me that,” Allen said with a laugh. “The teachers even call me that, too.”

Yankees surprise Red Sox Associated Press
NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez hit a tying homer off Jonathan Papelbon in the ninth inning and Marcus Thames connected moments later for a two-run shot of his own, giving the New York Yankees a wild 11-9 victory over the Boston Red Sox. With one out and a runner on third, Rodriguez hit the first pitch into the visitors’ bullpen in left-center to tie it at 9. Papelbon got Robinson Cano to fly out but hit Francisco Cervelli with a pitch before Thames drove his next delivery over the wall in left. Javier Vazquez (2-4) got a most unlikely win, striking out Kevin Youkilis with runners on the corners for the final out of the ninth. Manager Joe Girardi only went to the struggling starter because his depleted bullpen was missing David Robertson and Joba Chamberlain. Rays 4, Indians 3 (11 innings) ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Jason Bartlett laid down a bunt to drive in the winning run in the 11th inning. John Jaso hit a one-out infield single against Jamey Wright (1-2) and went to third on Gabe Kapler’s hit-and-run single to right. Bartlett then laid down a bunt on the first base side of the mound that Wright fielded and was forced to make a desperation toss toward the plate that went over catcher Mike Redmond’s head. Rangers 4, Angels 3 ARLINGTON, Texas — Derek Holland pitched into the sixth inning, and Nelson Cruz drove in two runs. Twins 8, Blue Jays 3 TORONTO — Justin Morneau homered twice, and Delmon Young also went deep. Royals 4, Orioles 3 BALTIMORE — Kyle Davies allowed two runs in six innings, and the Royals defeated the Orioles for their third win in four games under new manager Ned Yost. A crowd of 9,299 — secondsmallest in the 19-year history of Camden Yards — turned out on a wet, chilly night to watch the teams with the two worst records in the AL. The all-time low attendance at the stadium was 9,129, last month for a game against Tampa Bay. NATIONAL LEAGUE Phillies 12, Pirates 2 PHILADELPHIA — Kyle Kendrick pitched eight impressive innings and Ryan Howard hit a grand slam and had six RBIs. The Phillies have won 12 of 15. The two-time defending NL champions are 24-13 despite a slew of injuries. Mets 3, Braves 2 ATLANTA — Mike Pelfrey gave the Mets a lift with 72⁄3 strong innings and New York beat the Braves to end a fivegame losing streak. Pelfrey (5-1) became the first Mets starting pitcher to win a game this month. He was perhaps an unlikely choice to end the May drought as he improved to only 3-10 in 19 career starts in the month. Reds 6, Brewers 3 CINCINNATI — Jonny Gomes’ three-run homer completed a five-run rally in the seventh inning, and the Reds made sure they’d stay in first place for yet another day by beating the Brewers. Gomes’ homer off Todd Coffey (1-1) sent the Reds to their eighth victory in nine games. They moved into first place in the NL Central on Sunday — they haven’t been there this deep into a season since 2006. Diamondbacks 5, Marlins 1 MIAMI, Fla. — Edwin Jackson struck out a careerhigh 12 in eight shutout innings to lead Arizona. Manuel Gonzalez became the first Venezuelan umpire in major league baseball history, working at third base. Gonzalez, 30, was filling in for John Hirschbeck, who was dealing with a personal matter. Cubs 4, Rockies 2 (11 innings) CHICAGO — Aramis Ramirez hit a two-run homer in the 11th inning, his first homer in more than a month. Cardinals 6, Nationals 2 ST. LOUIS — Albert Pujols, who had three hits and a walk, helped fuel a four-run first inning from the cleanup slot. Kyle Lohse became the final member of the rotation to win. The big first inning came with Pujols batting fourth for the first time since May 2003.

Woods adds British Open to his summer schedule Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — Tiger Woods has a chance to become the first player in the 150-year history of the British Open to win three times at St. Andrews, where golf’s oldest championship will be held July 15-18. He added the British Open to the schedule on his website. Woods, who withdrew from the final round of The Players Championship on May 9 with a neck injury, also has the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach and the AT&T National at Aronimink on his schedule. He has yet to enter the Memorial, where he is the defending champion. LONDON — The world golf ranking does not have Vijay Singh among the top 50 for the first time in nearly 18 years. Singh slipped to No. 51 in the world ranking after he failed to qualify for the final 36 holes at the Texas Open.
NFL IRVING, Texas — Tony Romo took a pass on putting. The Dallas Cowboys quarterback was on the field practicing Monday during the first day of organized team activities instead of on the golf course trying to earn a spot in the PGA Tour’s next tournament. “There was really no decision there,” Romo said. “For me, it was just this is what I love to do. Why would you not choose that?” Romo had a tee time Monday morning in open qualifying for the Byron Nelson Championship, which begins Thursday just down the road from the team’s Valley Ranch practice facility. The 18-hole round conflicted with the voluntary Cowboys workout. IRVING, Texas — Offensive lineman Cory Procter was released by the Cowboys. Procter started only 13 games in five seasons with the Cowboys. Eleven of those starts came at left guard in 2008 for injured Kyle Kosier.
NBA NEW YORK — With their new owner sitting front row, the New Jersey Nets will have the best chance to win the draft lottery. They could sure use the help. Mikhail Prokhorov will represent the Nets on stage tonight in Secaucus, N.J., for the lottery, which his team has a 25 percent chance of winning after finishing with a league-worst 12-70 record. Kentucky freshman point guard John Wall is considered the top prize in this year’s class, with player of the year Evan Turner of Ohio State also expected to go high next month. “From my perspective, I think that we are in a very good position. We’re going to get a really good player, so I’m excited about that,” Nets president Rod Thorn said. “You always want to get as high as you can, because the higher you get, the more leverage it gives you. We’re hoping for the best, but we do know that wherever we end up, we’ll get a good player.”
The Nets can finish no worse than fourth. The Minnesota Timberwolves (19.9 percent) and Sacramento (15.6 percent) are the other teams with high lottery probabilities.

Flyers, Sharks at home today Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Jaroslav Halak hit the showers early in another playoff opener. If he rebounds the same way, the Montreal Canadiens will be just fine. The star goalie was pulled from a 6-0 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers after allowing four goals on 14 shots in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals on Sunday night. That won’t shatter his confidence, or worry his teammates and coaches. After all, it’s nothing new. Halak got yanked after giving up five goals in a 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh in Game 1 of the second round. He was dominant the rest of the series, and the eighth-seeded Canadiens eliminated the defending Stanley Cup champions in seven games. “It wasn’t one of his better games,” Canadiens coach Jacques Martin said Monday. “I think he’ll recognize that, and not just him. I think it goes with our hockey team. I think last night wasn’t a good performance, and the result was there to show it. I’ve got lots of confidence, and his teammates have a lot of confidence in Jaro that he’ll be able to bounce back.” Halak entered this series with the best save percentage (.933) in the playoffs. He was the main reason the Canadiens stunned Presidents’ Trophy winners Washington and the reigning champion Penguins in the first two rounds to go deeper into the playoffs than they have since 1993, when they won the Stanley Cup a record 24th time.
Halak stopped 131 of the final 134 shots he faced against the Capitals in the opening round. After his early exit against the Penguins, Halak allowed just 12 goals in the last six games. Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin each had one in the series. “Every series is a different series, so right now we are facing a different team than we faced in the first round and second round,” Halak said. “So every team plays different hockey, and we just need to make a little bit adjustment in our penalty killing and our system. I think if we do that we should be OK.” BLACKHAWKS-SHARKS SAN JOSE, Calif. — If there’s any team that should know how tenuous a 1-0 series lead can be in the NHL playoffs it’s the Chicago Blackhawks. The team that had to fight back after losing the opener to win the first two rounds finds itself in an unusual spot now, leading the Western Conference final 1-0 over the San Jose Sharks. “It’s a different situation than we’ve been in most of the time,” forward Patrick Sharp said. “I don’t think it changes much. It’s not going to make the series any easier being up 1-0. If anything, it will just get more difficult as we go on. It’s a great opportunity to try to take both games in their building and that’s what we’ll try to do.” The Blackhawks had lost four straight series openers dating to last season before seizing the homeice advantage by winning 2-1 in Game 1 at the Shark Tank on Sunday. Game 2 is tonight in San Jose.
SALISBURY POST
NESBITT FROM 1B “Ericka’s always looking at me for signs, but I don’t give them because what I want her to do depends on the pitch,” Waddell said. “If they pitch her in, I want her to pound it. If they pitch her away, I expect her to do her job and get on base.” Nesbitt wasn’t always a softball player. Her mother, Deb, got her started in baseball when she was 4. “There were three or four girls playing baseball way back then at Ellis Park,” Nesbitt said. “The boys would get mad because I was playing shortstop, taking their position. “I remember in coach pitch, they’d dig holes in the infield, and one day a ball popped up and knocked out some of my teeth.” That didn’t discourage her. “For a long time, I had this big dream of being the first girl to play in the major leagues,” she said. “When I was 9, playing B Little League at Spencer, I was a pitcher and a shortstop. I cut all my hair off, tried to be like the boys, and I made the all-star team. “I asked my coaches not to let the other teams know I was a girl, but I was up to bat with the all-stars, and my coach, Jay Laurens, yelled, ‘C’mon, girl!’ Everybody looked, and it was kinda bad news. No one could believe a girl was playing shortstop.” At 11, she was playing baseball in Spencer’s A League when a pitch shattered her batting helmet. That was a turning point. Her family had been telling her for years her future was in fast-pitch softball, and she agreed to try travel ball with Brian Poole’s Xtreme squad. Nesbitt was playing in a game for the Xtreme when she blasted a triple. The next time up she was intentionally walked. “When I made it over to third base, the other team’s coach yelled at me, ‘Kid, you’ll play for me one day,’ ” Nesbitt recalled. “I yelled back that I’d never play for him because he’d intentionally walked me.” That coach turned out to be North Davidson assistant Ron

ERICKA NESBITT Plemmons, and Nesbitt did end up playing for him on a showcase team called Carolina Attitude. Plemmons and Lambros changed her future. “I’m right-handed, but I’d batted left-handed some and right-handed some,” Nesbitt said. “The Attitude coaches told me with my speed I should try slapping.” She made that transition by practicing two hours daily with her teammates, mostly North Davidson girls, then staying on for an extra hour after practice ended. East was in 4A in 2006. It was 17-6 that season, and four of those losses were to North Davidson. Waddell remembers losing a game at North Davidson. He and assistant Lonnie Barrier started talking about the prospects for 2007. “Nesbitt can help us,” Barrier said. “Who’s Nesbitt?” Waddell asked. “That girl standing over there wearing the orange tiedye,” Barrier answered. Nesbitt began middle school at North Rowan, so Waddell didn’t know a lot about her when she showed up for the first day of tryouts as a freshman. “He hadn’t really seen me and didn’t know me as a softball girl,” Nesbitt said. “But I tried out. Then I was the leadoff hitter and the shortstop.” She was a star from the start, blazing speed combining with that rocket arm. It was only a matter of time before college coaches were in-
terested. “I remember Coach Plemmons telling me to give him a list of colleges I liked,” Nesbitt said. “I was like, ‘Colleges? Hey, I’m a freshman.’ But I gave him a few schools I’d seen play on TV. Then, next thing I know, I look up and coaches are there watching me. That made me feel pretty good.” She visited North Carolina and came close to committing to the Tar Heels before she felt slighted by an e-mail she received. South Carolina asked her to visit. So did Auburn and Florida. “Those schools said they would pay for my flight down there, but I wanted to stay in North Carolina, so it was really UNC or Campbell,” Nesbitt said. “Then UNC kinda laid me off to the side a little bit, so I called Campbell back and verbally committed. “Campbell is only 21⁄2 hours away, and softball is big there. It’s one of their bread-and-butter programs. In 2011, they’ll play LSU, Auburn, Texas and UCLA, and I believe I can help them get to the World Series.” Nesbitt, who went 7-for-8 in the NPC tournament, has already helped East win its third straight NPC championship. Now she’s determined to help the Mustangs get to Raleigh for the Final Four. She figures she’ll do even more with her glove and arm than with her legs and bat. “I’d say my No. 1 up is defense,” Nesbitt said. “To get it by me, you’ve got to be a pretty good hitter.” Nesbitt thanks her family — especially her mother and grandparents Tom and Teenie Waller — for getting her to this point. “It would be 90 degrees and my grandparents would stay out there hitting balls to me,” she said. Nesbitt’s extrovert fire provides balance to pitcher Chelsea White’s calm, cool intensity, and the Mustangs may have the horses to make a serious run this time. “I can’t talk about Ericka without mentioning Chelsea, and I can’t talk about Chelsea without mentioning Ericka,” Waddell said. “They’re special players, and I can’t tell you how fortunate we are to have both of them at the same time.”

South Rowan slugger Maverick Miles grabs hold of a base earlier this season.
NPC FROM 1B “He’s got a good slider, fastball’s 82 to 84,” Hightower said. “And he doesn’t walk anyone. Four all season.”
Carson at Charlotte Catholic It’s Cougars vs. Cougars in a matchup of 20-win teams. Catholic’s field is under construction, so it has played home games this season at Waddell High on Nation’s Ford Road. While Catholic edged A.L. Brown, Carson (20-7) won at Marvin Ridge 6-4 in eight innings. “It ranks up there with the best wins I’ve had,” Carson coach Chris Cauble said. “Winning the school’s first playoff game, that gets the monkey off our backs, and now that we’ve got that first one, we shouldn’t press as much. We should know we can do it.” Lefty Jesse Park (6-2) has made a remarkable recovery after being struck on the right knee by a line drive Friday. Cauble said Park texted him on Saturday that he was OK, and Park was moving well at practice on Monday. He’s the probable starting pitcher. “I guess we were lucky that it hit Jesse just right,” Cauble said.
South Rowan at Mt. Pleasant People are still talking about South star Maverick Miles’ tape-measure homer to center field that traveled well over 400 feet at Weddington on Friday.
WAYNE HINSHAW/SALISBURY POST
Carson pitcher Jesse Park kneels to relax between batters. South coach Thad Chrismon was more excited about a double that Miles hit against Weddington star Anthony Boone. “That home run went a very long way, but I believe it was on a mistake — a changeup that he left up,” Chrismon said. “Maverick got the double with two strikes on him, and it was on a great pitch. A hard fastball, low and away, and he hits a missile over the second baseman’s head.” South (16-9) lost to Mount Pleasant 3-1 early in the season, but the hot Raiders have won eight of their last 10. Chrismon said lefty Dylan Walker (6-3) will be on the mound tonight. Chrismon’s biggest concern is Mount Pleasant junior slugger Brandon Burris, who
is committed to Appalachian State. “We know they’re gonna swing it, and we couldn’t get Burris out the first time we saw ’em,” Chrismon said.
West Iredell at NW Cabarrus Workhorse Sam Laws probably will take the mound one more time for the Warriors. Lefty Taylor West will be the starter for the Trojans, but coach Joe Hubbard said every arm is available. Northwest had a breezy first-round game, and southpaw Rob Bain only needed 45 pitches to win in five innings. “If Laws pitches, we’ll have to beat their best,” Hubbard said. “But we’re playing really well right now. We’ve just gotta keep doing what we’ve been doing.”

You must spot the second fence
You could profit in a rather large way in the year ahead, through an unusual chain of events that involve some other close friends or associates as well. One person will initiate what occurs, and invite you and everybody else to join in. Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Your initiative could lead you to the exact spot where opportunity is buried and lying in wait. Don’t sit around doing nothing; “Seek and ye shall find” should be your motto. Gemini (May 21-June 20) -Past experience aided by instinctive insights could put you out in front of the pack today. However, you’ll need to trust your natural abilities and horse sense to pull it off. Cancer (June 21-July 22) - Winning or losing today will be predicated upon your outlook and attitude. If you are negative about life and your own fate, you’ll trip over your own feet. If you think “win,” you’ll be a winner. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Events today will offer you the opportunity to be rewarded for past efforts where your work or career is concerned, but you must take advantage of it. It’s not a time to be modest about your accomplishments. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Because you understand what you did wrong in the past, you’re not likely to repeat it if confronted by similar circumstances. You will allow prior painful experiences to serve you well. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Something might have looked bad because you lacked the correct particulars, but now with the facts in your hands, you’ll come out far better than you ever thought from something that once looked so bleak. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - It will prove to be the right course of action and serve you much better than you think, if you give more of yourself than your counterpart does when the chips fall. You’ll come out the big winner. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Although you might be aware of Lady Luck’s presence, you won’t sit back and do nothing. You’ll know what is expected of you, and will end up acquiring much more than you thought possible. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Merely by putting out a little extra imaginative effort, you’ll find you have the power to sway others to your way of thinking. Be sure to use this talent to your and everybody else’s benefit. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Charm, congeniality and cooperativeness are assets you naturally possess and use freely. You are likely to reap extra dividends from friends who appreciate these wonderful traits in you. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) - Applying practical ideas and concepts liberally could yield wide-ranging results. You’ll use your talents in ways that will be vastly helpful to friends and associates alike. Aries (March 21-April 19) - A sale might be available today on a product you badly need but until now has been a bit too expensive. It might be an extremely rare offer, so check all the ads.

25-year-old has trouble remembering things
BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
Author Robert Fulghum wrote, "The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be." This deal has fences. The first is easy to see, the second less so. Can you get over both? You are in six spades. West leads the heart king. What would you do? Your hand was strong enough for a two-club opening, having a high point-count, defensive tricks and nine winners even if North has a flat hand and no points. North, however, was not quite strong enough for a positive response. You rebid in your long suit. North raised spades. Then four control-bids (cuebids) were followed by your jump to six spades. This was a slight overbid, but if you had bid five spades, North would surely have raised to six. Clearly, leading a trump straightaway is fatal. West will win with his ace and cash the heart queen. You must discard dummy's second heart on your third high club. That passes off safely. What, though, would you do next? The careless would now play a trump, but West would win with his ace and lead his last club. East would overruff dummy to defeat the slam. Before touching those trumps, you must discard your fourth club. Play a dia-

Jazz composer Hank Jones dies NEW YORK (AP) — Jazz pianist and composer Hank Jones, whose 70-year career included a stint as Ella Fitzgerald’s pianist and Marilyn Monroe’s accompanist when she sang “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy, has died, his manager said Monday. He was 91. Jones, who won a Grammy lifetime achievement award last year and received the National Medal of Arts from President George W. Bush in 2008, died Sunday night at a New York hospital after a brief illness, Jean-Pierre Leduc said. A tireless musician who performed his blend of swing and bebop until the end, Jones came from a family of jazz musicians.
Dear Dr. Gott: Is there anything I can do about my memory? I am 25 and seem to have a real problem remembering things, whether it’s studying for a test or something my wife has told me to remember. It’s frustrating DR. PETER for both of us. GOTT Dear Reader: Memory loss, whether short- or long-term, in young adults can be the result of a variety of causes. It occurs when the portion of the brain that stores memory becomes compromised. Short-term loss issues include brain infections such as meningitis and encephalitis, traumatic brain injuries, vitamin B1 deficiency and specific drugs. Meningitis is inflammation or infection of the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord. There are a number of types of meningitis, including bacterial, aseptic, Cryptococcus,
tuberculous and those caused by the coxsackievirus or echovirus. Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain. It can be caused by a viral infection transmitted by an infected mosquito, the herpes viruses, childhood infections (such as measles, mumps and rubella) and arboviruses. Other causes include lead or other poisoning or bleeding. Post-infectious encephalitis can result from measles, chickenpox or other infection and can follow a smallpox vaccination. Traumatic brain injuries can occur from an automobile accident, falls, blows to the head and similar incidents. Vitamin B1 deficiency, also known as Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, is induced by alcoholism and chronic malnourishment. Short- and long-term memory loss may result. Recreational drug use, including LSD, cocaine, PCP, alcohol and marijuana, can affect memory, as can prescription barbiturates, tricyclic antidepressants, aminophylline, methyldopa,
digoxin, diuretics and others. Improvement is often noticed once the offending drug has been discontinued. Then there’s sleep deprivation, stress, depression, job insecurity, additional responsibilities, financial concerns and information overload. Has something occurred in your life that weighs heavily? Do you have a parent who is ill, mounting bills, marital issues, school scholarships dependent on your grades, a failing car, insomnia or other issues that need to be addressed? Does your wife want to have a child but you don’t feel ready? Life today appears fraught with numerous issues that are sometimes difficult to handle. Perhaps the first step is to speak with her to bring things of concern out into the open. You may simply be picking up on something going on in her life that you don’t completely understand. When was the last time you had an examination by your family physician? If one is overdue, schedule an appointment to make sure
that there is no medical reason for your forgetfulness. Ask whether lab work or other testing is appropriate to rule out any deficiencies. Perhaps your diet is inadequate or your weight needs to be addressed. Once you tap into the basics, you can get on to other possible causes for what must be a terribly annoying situation. Maybe counseling for one or both of you will get things back on the right track. At 25, you should be at the top of your game, or at least close to the top. Get your priorities straight, and then get to the bottom of things so you can remember that jar of jam at the grocery store or the pair of slacks that has been at the dry cleaners for four weeks. Consider keeping a pencil and small calendar in your shirt pocket. Making notes of responsibilities, appointments and honey-dos should be beneficial. Openness and a positive attitude will help. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books. UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE, INC.
Fox network reveals stable new fall schedule Monday NEW YORK (AP) — Fox is changing the “American Idol” format after it sagged in the ratings, giving a supersized push to “Glee” and focusing on comedy heading into the next television season. The network released its schedule Monday. Its executives conceded the biggest new drama, a Steven Spiel-
berg adventure series, might not even be ready for next season. Fox is the second of the broadcast networks to release its upcoming schedule. Despite “Idol” dropping an estimated 9 percent in young viewership this season, the network minted a new hit in “Glee” and will be the first
network to win the season six years in a row among the 18to-49-year-old demographic it seeks. Fox still hasn’t answered its most compelling mystery for next season: Who will replace Simon Cowell when he leaves “American Idol” this month? That search is top priority
for Fox this summer, said Peter Rice, entertainment chairman of the Fox Networks Group. “We have to find a judge to replace Simon who provides both musical credibility and an incredible entertainment value,” Rice said. “Anytime you have a change, it’s something you have to do right.”
