The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office has charged a Charlotte woman in connection with the double homicide of a Catawba County couple. Alyssa Carolina Watts, 20, of 4924 Morgan St., Charlotte, has been charged with two counts of felony accessory to murder after the fact. She is the girlfriend of murder suspect Fredrick Sinclair Hedgepeth. She was arrested Friday and placed in the Rowan County Detention Center under a $100,000 secured bond, according to a sheriff’s office release. The investigation into the murder of Jerry and Jody Bullin at Ingram Motor-

t’s not every day you can sit in your backyard and listen to an orchestra. Not only does the Post love to hold a concert in our backyard, it’s nothing to have a couple thousand of our closest friends over to enjoy the party. The Salisbury Symphony’s sixth annual Pops at the Post concert downtown drew a crowd of music fans and families Saturday night to hear the music begin at sunset.
The show featured an all-American sing-along, themes from popular TV shows and favorite Disney movie songs as part of a family-friendly lineup. Conductor David Hagy welcomed the audience: “If you have never been to a Salisbury Symphony concert before, we do not usually wear shorts.” Although afternoon rain showers left the front-tier seats wet, volunteers took care of that problem. What’s more, the rain kept temperatures down for the show.
“We play better music when we’re comfortable,” Hagy said. The symphony showed its stuff in a show full of surprises, from the trumpeters playing out among the crowd in Verdi’s “Triumphal March” from “Aida,” to the crowd’s chance to whistle along to the theme from “The Andy Griffith Show” as part of a salute to TV favorites. Before the show, Hagy said he’d worked hard to make a creative concert

Salisbury officials made another trip to Raleigh last week to fight for the city’s right to provide broadband Internet service and promote the importance for any North Carolina municipality to be able to do the same thing. Mayor Susan Kluttz, Assistant to the City Manager Doug Paris, Access 16 Manager Jason Parks and Broadband Services Director Mike Crowell made a trip Wednesday to Raleigh for a final review of Senate Bill 1209 by the Senate Finance Committee. With some changes, the committee adopted the bill and it is now scheduled to go to the Senate for a final reading Monday. The House of Representatives will PARIS take it up after that. “For three years we’ve been fighting bills in Raleigh that have been run by the Cable Association,” Paris said. In 2009, a proposed bill that would keep municipalities from competing with cable companies on broadband services was sent for study by Senate subcommittees. The first part of the bill that was adopted Wednesday is to continue the 2009 study of communication systems owned and operated by local governments. “We’re confident if they take the time to study

KANNAPOLIS — A collaboration at the N.C. Research Campus could help determine whether organically grown food is more nutritious than food grown by conventional methods. Dole Food’s director at the Research Campus wants to test vegetables grown at the Cabarrus County training farm to learn more about the nutrition content of local, organic food. “The implication of that is far-reaching,” said Debbie Bost, Cabarrus County Cooperative Extension director. While farmers suspect that locally grown, organic fruits and vegetables pack a bigger nutritional punch, they have little scientific evidence, Bost said. Analyzing their produce using state-of-the-art instruments at the Research Campus will provide empirical data, she said. Farmers then could tell consumers that their food is more nutritious.

it, they’ll realize how important it is to our state,� Paris said. The second part of the bill, Paris said, directs the Local Government Commission to be more selective in its approval of municipal broadband debt during the study period. A third section of the bill exempts any city or town already in the broadband business. Any community that has completed a feasibility study is also exempt, as is any city that’s a likely possibility for Google’s fiber project. During the meeting Wednesday, no one was allowed to speak, but Sal-

“They can use those claims, and it will create a different niche for our farmers than anyplace else and help them to obtain top price for their product,� Bost said. Dr. Nick Gillitt, director for the new Dole Nu- BOST trition Research Laboratory in Kannapolis, said he plans to measure nutrients in organic produce grown at the Elma C. Lomax Incubator Farm, a county-owned project that trains 16 people to become farmers. “The information we learn could help agronomists in our company,� Gillitt said. While he GILLIT came up with the idea as a way to help local farmers, Gillitt said Dole Food will want to know whether organic farming changes the nutrition content of fruits and vegetables. “If an organic farming technique is used that dramatically increases the nutrient levels, that is something Dole would definitely take notice of,� he said. In exchange, farmers would learn whether their organically grown vegetables are nutritionally superior to those grown conventionally.

isbury officials listened closely to the proceedings. During discussion, several senators expressed their concern with broadband access for small communities. “It is very important to keep an open playing field, to ensure robust competition, upgrades and competitive entry into this area, and really bring access to everybody,� said Sen. Joe Sam Queen, a Democrat. “We need to be mindful that North Carolina protects the interests of its citizens in this incredibly important infrastructure for the future. “We need to be very mindful of slowing down the rollout, or putting up impediments to competition.� Sen. William R. Purcell asked fellow Democratic Sen. David W. Hoyle, who introduced the bill,
The collaboration between Dole and Cabarrus County is still evolving. County Manager John Day, who has criticized some aspects of the Research Campus, supports the idea. Nutritional analysis at the Research Campus would give the county’s incubator farm “some way of actually measuring our success,� said Day, who with Bost started the training program. Farmers could market their produce as higher in certain nutrients, he said. Day is working with Lynne Scott Safrit, president of campus developer Castle & Cooke, to iron out the details. At least one farmer at the incubator farm says privately that he will not participate in the project because of Dole Food’s relationship with Monsanto Co. Monsanto, a flagship tenant at the Research Campus, is the world’s leading producer of genetically modified seed and the herbicide Roundup, both abhorrent to most organic farmers. Others have expressed concern about Monsanto’s presence at the Research Campus, although site leader Dr. Susan MacIsaac said Monsanto will not modify plant DNA in the company’s 9,000-square-foot Kannapolis lab, expected to open this fall. Instead, Monsanto will use traditional plant breeding techniques to develop tastier, healthier vegetables. While Dole Food and Monsanto have a five-year agreement to study vegetables, the companies do not have an official collaboration at the Research Campus, Gillitt said, but it’s a possibility. Both companies currently have one scientist in Kannapolis. Monsanto plans to have 10 employees, and Gillitt said he will hire two more researchers this month. Dole’s corporate relationship with Monsanto shouldn’t be a deal-breaker for area or-
where the small communities stood. “What assurance do we have that the big companies will not overlook the small, less profitable markets, our small communities,� he asked. Hoyle replied: “We’re not going to get broadband to everybody in the state anytime soon.� Purcell said everyone should have access to broadband. “I hope that in the end we do keep KLUTTZ small communities in mind because they need the broadband as much as the larger cities do,� he said. Kluttz agrees with that. “As vice chair of the North Car-
ganic farmers, said Aaron Newton, the new Cabarrus County local food system project coordinator. “To dismiss out of hand any collaboration with them would be over-generalizing,� said NEWTON Newton, who farms at the incubator farm. “Not to say that I agree with all the practices of Monsanto, but I don’t have to to be able to enter into a relationship with Dole Foods if it’s beneficial to us.� The county should “carefully examine� what Dole is offering and what the company expects in return, Newton said. But at first glance, he favors the partnership. “We will get access to equipment that we could never afford,� he said. If scientific analysis shows that organic, sustainable farming methods produce better tasting, more nutritious food, “it gives us more legitimacy,� Newton said.

time, we have a state government trying to put restrictions on it. I think our state should be incentivizing this.� Despite Hoyle’s comments, Kluttz said she was happy with the changes to the bill. “It’s really good news to us,� she said. “I am very grateful to our local delegation, Rep. Lorene Coates and Sen. Andrew Brock. They have been supportive of us throughout this and they understand why it’s important to us.� Kluttz said she and other Salisbury officials will be in Raleigh when the bill goes to the House of Representatives. “We don’t have a choice and we will continue to monitor this,� she said. “Anytime it is mentioned, I plan to be there.�
“You need to know where you started from,� he said. Gillitt said his 5,000square-foot lab at the Research Campus was delayed because his equipment requires 230 volts of electricity but the building was wired for only 208 volts. It was a problem in several locations across the campus, he said. Transformers have been installed and the Dole lab should be up and running this month, Gillitt said. The recession also delayed the project, he said. “Dole is extremely happy to finally have a scientific presence on campus,� he said.
“Our job is to provide as much useful information to Dole as possible and endear ourselves to the local community by helping out a bit where we can.�

Farmers have told Day and Bost that they trust the leaders “not to collaborate with someone that will compromise our values,� Newton said. Gillitt, who moved to Kannapolis in March, said he’d like to help settle the debate between organic and conventional farming. He also needs samples to validate the highly sensitive equipment in his lab. “I can’t think of better samples other than locally grown produce,� he said. He will compare nutrient levels in produce from the incubator farm against the U.S. Department of Agriculture database to determine if local, organic food is healthier, Gillitt said. He could test food at different stages of farming to help determine which techniques produce the best results, he said. Gillitt’s primary responsibility at the Research Campus is to test the amount of every nutrient in every Dole product at the consumer level, he said. Comparing those results with just-picked local organic produce would help, he said.

Catawba’s Center for Environment hosts sustainability workshop BY SHELLEY SMITH
ssmith@salisburypost.com
Catawba College’s Center for the Environment will host Darcy Hitchcock, who will give a daylong workshop Wednesday, titled, “Sustainability: Improving Your Triple Bottom Line.” Hitchcock is author of “The Business Guide to Sustainability,” host of the Sus-
tainable Today television show and founder of the International Society of Sustainability Professionals. According to Dr. John Wear, founding director of the Center for the Environment, Hitchcock travels across the nation teaching sustainability business techniques. “It’s a great opportunity,” Wear said. “The workshop,
although it’s an introduction to sustainability and how to develop a sustainability program in a business or organization, is going to cover things I think are basics that people really need to understand. “It’s a very important piece of information that folks could really benefit from. It would be beneficial to any variety of people in
business, government or just an individual who would like to see their business make that shift.” The workshop begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends around 5 p.m. The $35 registration fee includes lunch. “If anyone had taken this workshop at the University of Oregon, Portland, it would cost them around $250,” Wear said. “We worked with
Robert Van Geons and others and found some funders that could really help us with it and bring the cost down. “It’s a minimal cost in comparison to what it would cost to take it elsewhere.” Van Geons, executive director of the SalisburyRowan Economic Development Commission, hopes many Rowan residents take advantage of the workshop.
“The Center for the Environment has been working with companies and communities on sustainable business practices for years,” he said. “There are increased profits and new customers that can be generated for existing businesses by implementing what Hitchcock talks about.”

Red-tailed hawk rescued at wastewater treatment plant
A
bird as majestic as a hawk should have a better name than “Stinky.” But that’s what I’m going to call the redtailed hawk rescued 10 days ago from an aeration basin at the Town Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. Getting stuck in goop — imagine the oil-soaked pelicans off the Gulf Coast but add in a smell factor — is not a good thing for a predatory bird or the person sent in to rescue it. In this case, that would be Mike Frick, who fellow employees have dubbed “The Birdman of Town Creek.” MARK When other guys at the WINEKA treatment plant first saw the bird struggling at the bottom of the aeration basin May 27, they thought it was an eagle — until Frick arrived on the scene, determined it was a hawk and decided to go after it. He put on a set of waders, leather welding gloves and a face shield. He also had to be outfitted in a harness with ropes attached to be OSHA compliant. To reach the bird, Frick eased down a long concrete slope. The 3.5 million-gallon basin is 18 to 20 feet deep, but it is being used for wet-weather events now, so Frick only had to wade through about 3 feet of black liquid. I wanted to call the stuff sludge. Salisbury-Rowan Utilities Director Jim Behmer said it was really aerated solids that are still part of the treatment process. Sludge is solid stuff left over after the treatment process that often is applied to fields as fertilizer. Well, don’t the “aerated solids” still smell awful, I asked. Behmer said I should know by now that nothing smells bad at the city’s waste treatment plants. I protested that if it wasn’t a sludge pond and it wasn’t smelly, he was ruining a good

The Rowan County Board of Commissioners is inviting the public to comment on the budget for fiscal year 2010-11 at 6 p.m. Monday. The public hearing will follow the board’s regular meeting at 4 p.m. Monday on the second floor of the Cohen Administration Building, 130 W. Innes St. One of the items on Monday’s agenda was prompted by a conditional use permit application by Davidson County Broadcasting for the construction of a 1,200-foot broadcast tower. According to an e-mail sent to commissioners by planning and development director Ed Muire, Gig Hilton, president of the broadcasting company, submitted the application Wednesday. The tower would be located in Mount Ulla, on property owned by Richard L. and Dorcas Parker. In November 2006, commissioners voted to deny the Parkers a permit for a 1,350-foot broadcast tower on the property to serve Davidson County Broadcasting. Hilton appealed the county’s decision. In September 2007, a three-judge panel of the N.C. Court of Appeals upheld the denial, and so did the N.C. Supreme Court. Earlier this year, the Parkers asked the town of Mooresville to annex 18 acres of their 200-acre farm, but the request was denied on March 1. Before the town made its decision, Rowan County Commissioners had considered passing a resolution opposing the annexation. Commissioners plan to have a discussion during Monday’s regular meeting regarding legal representation for the county on the renewed issue.

Dole honored by National World War II Museum NEW ORLEANS — Highlighting the accomplishments of the brave women who served in World War II, Elizabeth Dole accepted the 2010 Silver Service Medallion from the National World War II Museum in New Orleans, Saturday on the eve of the 66th anniversary of D-Day. This year’s award ceremony honored women who have exhibited extraordinary service and undying loyalty to their country during WWII and beyond. DOLE Elizabeth Dole’s career in public service has spanned nearly 50 years. She has held high-level positions in the administrations of Presidents Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, including serving as Secretary of Transportation and Secretary of Labor. She was also President of the American Red Cross and a U.S. senator representing North Carolina. She is married to former Senate Majority Leader and 1996 Republican Presidential nominee Bob Dole, who is a veteran of WWII. Bob Dole was also the guiding force behind the planning and construction of the WWII Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The Silver Service Medallion is awarded by the museum to those “whose careers selflessly reflect the values and spirit of those who served our country during the World War II years and who inspire others through their own acts of courage, sacrifice, initiative and generosity.” Past recipients include Henry Kissinger, George McGovern and Colin Powell. “Elizabeth Dole is one of the most respected and accomplished public servants of our time. She is also a tireless advocate for the concerns of World War II veterans. For these reasons, and many more, she is a very worthy recipient of the Museum's Silver Service Award,” said Gordon H. “Nick” Mueller, president and CEO of The National World War II Museum.

The Rowan County Animal Shelter has several animals waiting to be adopted and taken to a good home. Kittens: Three beautiful smoke-colored kittens, all with bright golden eyes. What more could you ask for? These three are just a small sample of the many different colors of kittens the shelter has available for adoption. Come by and pick the one that suits you best. Dog: You’ve heard the old expression, “a face only a mother could love,” well, this beefy English bulldog mix sure lives up to those standards. This fellow came to the shelter as a stray, and his outward appearance in no way reflects his charming, affectionate personality. All he needs is a little TLC and the right person to shower with wet doggie kisses. From rescued animals to those abandoned by owners who couldn’t afford them, and all others in between, the Animal Shelter has them all. Adoption fees are $70, a down payment for spay/neuter costs. The voucher can be used at any veterinarian’s office. Before adopting any animal, a person must agree to take the pet to a veterinarian for an exam and spaying/neu-

In accepting the award, Elizabeth Dole, whose brother was also a WWII veteran, expressed her “gratitude for the countless individuals, who, through courage beyond measure and sacrifice beyond imagining, ensured freedom’s survival in World War II.” Dole also referenced a set of two letters written by Dwight Eisenhower exactly 66 years ago Saturday-on June 5, 1944 — the night before the DDay invasion that would eventually lead to the victory in Europe. One was to be released if the invasion succeeded, the other if it failed. Dole quoted from the letter, which was not released. “If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt, it is mine and mine alone,” Dole read. “That, ladies and gentlemen, is leadership,” she added, going on to praise the bravery, dedication and sacrifices of the women and men who fought and won the war.

Another item for discussion at the regular meeting is a survey of Rowan and Cabarrus county lines. The resolution up for approval states that “some uncertainty exists or has existed as to the precise location of the boundary, at certain places, between Rowan and Cabarrus counties.” According to the resolutions, the Geographic Information System (GIS) departments of the two counties do not agree on a consistent county line. This has caused difficulties in determining the zoning and taxing jurisdictions for the disputed areas. If the resolution is approved, the board will “respectfully request the assistance of the N.C. Geodetic Survey Division to survey, mark or otherwise map the common boundary line between Rowan and Cabarrus counties.” At the regular meeting, commissioners also plan to: • Hold a public hearing about a change of address for

Van Geons said companies as large as Volvo and Walmart practice sustainability. “I’m a private sector guy, pro business, but if you can be more profitable and more marketable and have less of an impact on the environment, it’s a real winwin.” HITCHCOCK The same workshop is also being held Thursday at the N.C. Research Campus in the Old Cabarrus Bank Building. “It’s great to have one of these events at the Center for the Environment at the Research Campus,” Van Geons said. Wear agrees. “I think that more and more our center has begun working in the Kannapolis area,” he said. “We knew this would be a good time not just to simply offer the workshop at the Center for Environment, but to take it to the Research Campus.
“We would like to see many people from Rowan and Cabarrus take advantage of this.” Sponsors for the event include Duke Energy, Rowan Works, Roush Fenway Racing, Cabarrus Economic Development, Piedmont Natural Gas, CESI, N.C. Research Campus and F&M Bank. Wear said he hopes to hold a follow-up workshop and other workshops late summer or early fall. “We hope it will be the first of a number of such workshops,” he said. “More and more businesses are seeing the importance and they’re seeing it in different ways. “Customers are demanding products from organizations who think this way.” Those interested in attending the workshop are asked to register by Wednesday.

Renowned historian, author and educator Dr. Stephen Ambrose founded The National World War II Museum Foundation in New Orleans in 1991. Opened on June 6, 2000, it is the only museum in the United States that addresses all of the amphibious invasions or “D-Days” of World War II, honoring the more than 16 million Americans who took part in this global conflict. The National World War II Museum opened its doors on the 56th anniversary of the Normandy invasion that liberated Europe. It is located in New Orleans because it was here that Andrew Higgins built the landing craft used in the amphibious invasions; the landing craft that President Dwight D. Eisenhower believed won the war for the Allies. The Board of Trustees includes former California Gov. Pete Wilson, MSNBC analyst and former Medal of Honor winner Col. Jack H. Jacobs, USA (Ret.), New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees and former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling.

High school juniors will head to Catawba for Tar Heel Girls State Tina Brown, music director; and Fran Simpson, speaker. “The citizens have a wonderful opportunity during the week to become involved and learn the rules of civic engagement,� Hirst said. “These young women will be our leaders soon, and they will gain valuable experiences in leadership that will help shape and guide them as they become community, state and national leaders in the following years.� The Honorable Judge Beth Dixon will swear in the girls as Girls State citizens on the evening of Sunday, June 13. Guest speakers scheduled for the 2010 Tar Heel Girls State session, all of whom will speak in Keppel Auditorium of the Robertson College-Community Center, include Walter Dalton, N.C. Lt. Governor; Robin Pendergraft, Director of the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation; Janet Ward Black, Attorney at Law; Dr. Ricci Hellman of Family Services of Davidson County; and Detoria
Rolle, 2009 Tar Heel Girls State Governor. Although the Girls State Program is held in every state in the nation, North Carolina is the only state in the country to have had Girls State for 71 consecutive years, according to Hirst. The program is an Americanism project of the American Legion Auxiliary and an American Legion Auxiliary Unit approves all applications and nominates girls for the program. Hirst reiterated that moving the program to Catawba College nine years ago helped strengthened the nationally recognized program thanks in part to the strong support from the local community. Local girls from Rowan and Cabarrus counties will be among the participants. American Legion Auxiliary Units in Salisbury, Faith and Landis will sponsor Rowan County students. From Cabarrus County, students are sponsored by American Legion Auxiliary Units in Concord,
Tribe scraps contract with gambling consultant
BRIEFS Power company seeks to lower rates RALEIGH (AP) — A power company has asked state utility regulators for permission to lower rates for customers in North Carolina. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Saturday that Progress Energy wants to cut rates about 4 percent. That means the typical residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours would pay about $102 a month for electricity — a savings about of $4. The Raleigh-based company said the rate cut is in response to lower costs of coal to fuel its generating plants. It would be the second rate cut as a result of lower fuel costs and follows five years of rate increases because of higher costs. If approved, the new rates would take effect Dec. 1. Progress Energy serves about 3.1 million customers in the Carolinas and Florida.
Lewin contract earlier this year. “It’s a relief,� Locklear said of the decision to cancel the contract. “I guess I had always considered the relationship with a gaming consultant to be very unfortunate and not helpful for our recognition bill. “This should help restore the tribe’s integrity and credibility, because I think that’s what we lost by this association.� After at least 12 congressional studies and countless bills over the past 120 years, the Lumbee are as close as they’ve ever been to winning the federal status that has eluded them since the 1880s, when North Carolina recognized the tribe. The recognition bill has passed the House of Repre-
sentatives and a key Senate committee, and for the first time ever the president, the Bureau of Indian Affairs and both North Carolina senators all support recognition. The bill would send at least $108 million a year in federal dollars to the tribe, mostly in health care funding, according to a Congressional Bud-
get Office estimate. Most of the tribe’s 55,000 members live in Robeson, Hoke, Scotland and Cumberland counties. The tribe is worth more than $50 million and has 80 permanent workers, most of them located in a complex in Pembroke that opened in December as the tribe’s headquarters..

PEMBROKE (AP) — A North Carolina Indian tribe said it has ended its contract with a Nevada gambling consultant in the tribe’s effort to be officially recognized by Congress. On Friday, the Lumbee tribe and officials from Lewin International terminated the contract that gave the Las Vegas company the authority to handle the tribe’s push for federal recognition, The Fayetteville Observer reported. In the contract, the tribe had agreed to give Lewin a stake in future Lumbee economic ventures, including gambling. But the Lumbee have long said they don’t want the right to have gambling as part of their federal recognition. That created friction both within and outside the tribe as the past 20 years has seen an increase in blocking newly recognized tribes from making money off gambling. “We all know that perception is reality up there in Washington,� tribal chairman Purnell Swett said in the news release announcing that the deal was off. “Anything that could take away from our recognition work — whether real or imagined — has to be dealt with.� Maryland-based attorney Arlinda Locklear had worked for 20 years to help the Lumbee get federal recognition until she was replaced by the

Each citizen is also a member of a fictitious political party that will develop a party platform, engineer campaigns for party candidates and elect a slate of officers to govern Tar Heel Girls State. Parliamentary procedure is used to conduct all meetings. The session will be run by Auxiliary members from across the state who volunteer their time. Two of these Auxiliary members, Chair of the Commission Kaye Brown Hirst of Salisbury and Program Director Julie Cooper Head of Valdese, will be participating for their 23rd year with the program.

Several hundred high school juniors who are academically in the top third of their class will participate in the annual event, sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary, Department of North Carolina. The Girls State program is a weeklong practical study of the structure and operation of North Carolina State Government. In a non-partisan atmosphere, participants take a “hands-on� approach to learning how state and local governments function. Citizens, as the participants are known, develop an understanding of the responsibilities of citizenship by creating and living under their own mock government.

“The Lion King,” among others. The show built to its finale with John Philip Sousa’s “Washington Post March,” once more playfully renamed the “Salisbury Post March,” and “The Stars and Stripes Forever.” “I love the patriotic songs,” Cindy Alligood said. “We always try to make this show.” As part of the encore, the symphony performed a rare treat, Danny Elfman’s theme from “The Simpsons.” Hagy said it can be difficult to get permission to include such TV tunes in performances. But, he said, the show was all about making families happy. It’s all part of a tradition that’s sure to be entertaining our Rowan County neighbors for years to come.

The salute to America included songs for the audience to sing along, including “Yankee Doodle,” “God Bless America” and “You’re a Grand Old Flag.” The West Rowan High School JROTC color guard presented the flags before “The Star-Spangled Banner” was played. Nearby, a UH-60 “Blackhawk” helicopter from C Company, 1/131 Aviation Battalion of the North Carolina National Guard in Salisbury was on display. The tailgate party started early Saturday in the nearby parking lots. The sheer numbers of tailgaters and the variety of food on the tables showed how intricate the Pops at the Post tradition is becoming. Jessica and Mark Koontz of Salisbury and their five daughters were part of one tailgating group that totaled 42 children and adults. The little ones swarmed around a table with snacks as the smell from grills and nearby concession trailers wafted over. “It’s just a neat thing that Salisbury has so much for families,” Koontz said. “You can get out, enjoy your company and know your kids are safe.” Chris and Paula Mead of Salisbury joined their friends Ryan and Amber

No sitting around in this classroom IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (AP) — In a handful of classrooms nationwide, students are learning to think on their feet. Sixth graders at a small private school in southern Idaho stand while crunching math problems. They lean over waist-tall work stations to compare answers with classmates. And whenever they feel the need to sit, they prop themselves up onto tall stools and slip their sneakers into swinging footrests, rocking them back and forth. “It’s not normal for students, or even necessarily for adults, to sit still for long periods of time,” their teacher Jim Oloff said. In states such as Idaho, Minnesota and Wisconsin, some teachers have replaced the standard classroom desk with height-adjustable work stations, which they hope will offer notorious fidgeters some relief for their antsy tendencies. The Hope Lutheran School in southeastern Idaho has taken the trend a step further. During math, 11-year-old Dylan Trowbridge stood for the most of the lesson. His classmate, 12-year-old Jane Hula, sat with one leg swinging her footrest back and forth. Up front, 11-year-old Anya Brown was perched on her stool. “They give you more room so I don’t get cramped in one place,” Brown said. Twice a month, Oloff’s
sixth graders step on a scale and a researcher from a federal laboratory records their weight and height. The kids clip pedometers onto their belts each day when class starts and record how many steps they’ve taken before they leave, information that can be used to determine how active they are and how many calories they’ve burned. The Idaho National Laboratory has been collecting data since January and while the students think they’re part of a fitness study, Oloff has also been monitoring their attention and concentration skills, along with how well they interact. The lab is collaborating with the Mayo Clinic on the study, which will compare students before and after the stand-up desks were installed. The lab plans to release the findings in October. Researchers for years have studied the so-called “stand-up” desks with adults, who in some cases work at stations fitted over standard treadmills, but the data being collected from Idaho students could provide information on how this works in the classroom, said Dr. James Levine, an obesity researcher at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. Could the stand-up desks play a role in the fight against childhood obesity? “It’s the first, real-world, large-scale study of what will be the future of education,” said Levine.

RALEIGH (AP) — As campers, boaters and hikers fan out across the state this summer, the N.C. Division of Parks and Recreation has fewer resources to serve them. Litter won’t always be picked up as quickly as park superintendents would like. Maintenance projects are being deferred, and fewer seasonal workers are being hired. Visitors to Jordan Lake in Chatham County may pull up to an entrance station and hand their fees to a uniformed ranger with a sidearm, rather than a college student working toward a natural resources degree. As legislators work to close an $800 million revenue shortfall by haggling over cuts to education and Medicaid, state parks might seem like an afterthought. But outdoors enthusiasts made a record 14.2 million visits to state parks in 2009, a 13 percent increase over the previous year. If the weather holds, park officials expect similar crowds this year. In welcoming them, the park system is stretching every dollar. The system, which includes 34 state parks, four state recreation areas and a system of natural areas, usually hires about 700 seasonal employees to help with routine tasks during the busy summer months. This year, there will be fewer than 400. And, among full-time staff, there are nearly 70 vacant positions. Like all state agencies, the parks system has to make choices during tough economic times, state parks director Lewis Ledford said. “You try to be as lean and as efficient as you can.” People are beginning to notice. Matthew Clay of Garner had to depend on ingenuity while camping at Lake Jordan recently. The fire ring and grate at his family’s campsite was worn, rusted and bent. Clay, 36, jammed a large stone beneath the grate to prop it up so he could cook hamburgers and hot dogs for his boys. “This is what you see when the state has problems with the budget,” he said in a disappointed but not angry tone. “We’ll make it work.” In a tight year, state parks people don’t want to be seen as complainers. They could use more money, just as every state agency could. As parks spokesman Charlie Peek put it, “We’re all in the same canoe.” At the same time, as the state parks become more popular, more visitors are bound to be disappointed. North Carolina is not the only place where state parks have money problems. New York’s budget crisis forced the temporary closure of 41 state parks. Arizona cut its park budget by 80 percent, and turned over some of its parks to local governments. The National Trust for Historic Preservation has added the country’s state parks to its list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. There have been no proposals to close parks in North Carolina, said Ledford, the parks director. But the state parks system operated on a $33.22 million budget during the 2008-09 fiscal year, down more than $5 million from the previous year. The amount spent in the current fiscal year, which ends June 30, will be in the same range, Ledford said. The system receives money from three main sources: fees it collects for camping and other activities, appropriations from the legislature and money from the N.C. Parks and Recreation Trust Fund. The trust fund receives its money from a deed-transfer tax of $2 per $1,000 in value, which is collected on realestate transactions. In other words, when the state’s real-estate market is hopping, so is the amount of money in the trust fund. In 2007, the system received $36.52 million from the trust fund, which can be used only for capital improvements or to buy land. In 2009, the system received $15.53 million. When times were good, the system used that money to add parkland and make ma-
jor improvements, such as visitors’ centers, to existing parks. When times are lean, there are fewer people to help staff those new acres and new buildings. “Trying to grow at the same time we’re paring back - it’s a difficult balance,” Ledford said. The state has been aggressive in recent years in bringing land into the park system, with six new state parks authorized since 2003. Grandfather Mountain and Chimney Rock state parks, two of the state’s bestknown natural attractions, are new since 2005. The state purchased Grandfather Mountain for $12 million, split equally between the Parks and Recreation and Natural Heritage Trust Funds. Both funds receive their money from the deed-transfer tax. The system works with other agencies as much as possible when it comes to purchasing land. The Nature Conservancy helped acquire the land for Carvers Creek State Park in Cumberland County, for instance. As parkland increased, so did visitors. Ledford credits several factors for the higher attendance, including the poor economy, which has led more families to stick closer to home for vacations. Improved park facilities and a growing population have also brought more visitors, he said. Asked if the system purchased too much land in boom times that it now has to care for in tighter ones, Ledford shook his head. When iconic lands such as Grandfather Mountain become available, he said, the state needs to find a way to bring them into the fold. He pointed to an economic impact study of 14 parks from 2008 that concluded each non-local park visitor spent $23.56 daily for such things as campground fees, gasoline and lunches outside the park. The economic impact the state receives from park visitors provides a good return on the investment, he said. North Carolina trails nearly all other states in park spending per resident. According to the National Association of State Park Directors, North Carolina spent $4.18 per person on parks in 2008, ranking 45th nationally. Delaware was No. 1, spending $26.50 per person; Texas was last, at $3.58. Every year, the superintendent of each park creates a list of maintenance projects and asks for money. Some of the requests are procedural; superintendents realize that not all of them will be granted, but they need to put bigger-ticket items in the pipeline so they can be considered in the future. For the coming budget year, 149 projects were approved at a cost of $1.2 million. Park superintendents asked for 328 projects that would have cost $3.17 million. So that means William B. Umstead State Park in Wake County didn’t receive the $45,000 it asked for to fix damaged siding and beams in the mess hall at one of the park’s group camp facilities. The building, which is more than 60 years old, has been damaged by water and powderpost beetles.

Reality of oil on the beaches settling in ON BARATARIA BAY, La. (AP) — The wildlife apocalypse along the Gulf Coast that everyone has feared is fast becoming reality. Pelicans struggle to free themselves from oil, thick as tar, that gathers in hipdeep pools, while others stretch out useless wings, feathers dripping with crude. Dead birds and dolphins wash ashore, coated in the sludge. Seashells that once glinted pearly white under the hot June sun are stained crimson. Scenes like this played out along miles of shoreline Saturday, nearly seven weeks after the BP rig exploded. The oil has steadily spread east, washing up in greater quantities in recent days, even as a cap placed by BP over the blownout well began to collect some of the escaping crude. The cap, resembling an upside-down funnel, has captured about 252,000 gallons of oil, according to Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the government’s point man.
Israeli commandos seize ship bound for Gaza with aid JERUSALEM (AP) — A defiant Israel enforced its 3-year-old blockade of Hamas-ruled Gaza, with naval commandos swiftly commandeering a Gazabound aid vessel carrying an Irish Nobel laureate and other activists and forcing it to head to an Israeli port instead. The bloodless takeover stood in marked contrast to a deadly raid of another Gaza aid ship this week. However, it was unlikely to halt international

Some questioning choice on U.S. intelligence operations WASHINGTON (AP) — He’s the right guy to ride herd over America’s intelligence operations. Or he’s a good guy, but the wrong one for that tough job. Those warring opinions emerged about James R. Clapper after President Barack Obama said Saturday he wants the Pentagon’s current intelligence chief to serve as director of national intelligence — the fourth since the post was created in 2004. “Eminently qualified,” Obama described the blunt-spoken retired Air
Force lieutenant general, offering his “complete confidence and support.” Senators will have to decide whether to put him in a job that manages the work of 16 spy agencies.

WENATCHEE, Wash. (AP) — Police in Wenatchee are surprised at the amount of contraband an inmate was able to smuggle into the jail rectally. The Wenatchee World said the man internally carried a cigarette lighter, rolling papers, a baggie of tobacco the size of a golf ball, a smaller baggie of marijuana, a 1-inch smoking pipe, a bottle of tattoo ink and eight tattoo needles. Chelan County Regional Justice Center administrator Phil Stanley said the man was booked into jail Wednesday night to serve a disorderly conduct sentence. Nothing was found in a strip search. But after later questioning, the inmate surrendered the items.

Mustangs are 3A state champions
JON C. LAKEY/SALISBURY POST
East Rowan players celebrate in a championship pile at Five County Stadium after beating Wilson Hunt for the 3A baseball crown on Saturday afternoon.
Whatever it takes to win Z
EBULON — This isn’t the story Brian Hightower wanted to tell, but it ends the same way. In a game that made terrible art but terrific drama, East Rowan got its 3A state championship Saturday, outlasting Wilson Hunt in a molar-grinding, Game 2 test-of-nerves. But oh, what long strange trip it was. “You expect us to pitch better. You expect us to play better defense,” Hightower said at Five County Stadium, where the Mustangs swept their way to the school’s second 3A title. “But it DAVID was nice to see the ofSHAW fense come up. This club’s always been about the pitching and the defense. This just proves we can play any kind of baseball, whatever the game asks for.” The Mustangs played the kind of baseball that’s usually fatal, yet somehow survived. Granted, they hit the ball like prizefighters — methodically pounding away until Hunt finally threw up its arms and surrendered. “We definitely didn’t think it would JON C. LAKEY/SALISBURY POST be like that,” senior Preston Troutman East Rowan coach Brian Hightower shows off his championship smile while said during a post-game celebration hugging assistant coach John McNeil after the Game 2 win. below the grandstand. “But a win’s a win.

ZEBULON — East Rowan baseball E. Rowan 15 coach Brian W. Hunt 10 Hightower sat on a pickle bucket as the bottom of the seventh began, took a long, deep breath on a pleasant green field that had turned into a blazing inferno, and started savoring his first 3A state championship. East held a five-run lead on the Five County Stadium scoreboard and it had Willie J. — amazing left-hander Will Johnson — on the mound. So what was there to worry about? “The odds were astronomically in our favor,” Hightower said. “We’re up five and Will’s given up five runs all year. There was a better chance of getting struck by lightning than of Will letting that lead get away.” Parker Gobbel was warming up, just in case, but Johnson got it done. He had a 1-2-3 seventh — the only 1-2-3 either pitching staff enjoyed all day — and right fielder Wesley LeRoy squeezed a routine flyball to bring a wild, strange 15-10 victory to a dizzy, dog-piling conclusion. East swept Wilson Hunt (26-7) in the best-of-three series for the school and the county’s first state championship since the Mustangs went 29-1 and beat Asheboro for a title in a steamy sauna in 1995.

Webb’s gem sparks win From staff reports
D.J. Webb pitched a complete game to lead Mocksville to a 9-2 win against Concord on Friday. It was Mocksville’s first complete game of the season. Webb struck out eight and walked none. Tyler King went 3-for-4 with two doubles. Ryan Carter had two hits.
Lewis to Catawba North Meck standout Lauren Lewis has signed with Catawba to play basketball and softball. Lewis, a daughter of North Meck boys basketball coach Duane Lewis, was a four-year softball starter and a three-year basketball starter for the Vikings. Lewis hit .353 for the Vikings’ softball team and had a .974 fielding percentage at shortstop. Her forte is defense, and she’s made the All-State team multiple times. A 1,000-point scorer in basketball, Lewis averaged 16.7 points per game, shot 42 percent on 3-pointers and was selected for this summer’s East-West All-Star Game. Davidson was interested in Lewis for basketball, but she picked Catawba mostly for the opportunity to play two sports. Her career goal is to coach.
Junior baseball The Salisbury Cavornets dropped a 4-1 decision to the Mooresville Legends in Mooresville on Friday. The Legends scored two runs in the first inning and two in the second. Spencer Carmichael had two hits for the Cavornets, who plated a run in the fifth. “We are just in a collective slump as a team, and sooner or later we are going to bust out of it,” Cavornets coach Scott Maddox said. “Our pitching and defense continues to be very good.” Carson defeated the Cavornets 10-2 on Saturday. Ethan Free pitched five innings. He struck out two and allowed two runs. Mitch Galloway fanned four in two innings. Galloway was 2-for-5 with two RBIs. Dylan Carpenter was 2-for-3 with an RBI double. K.J. Pressley had a triple. Greg Tonneson knocked in two. Jake Smith singled in a run for the Cavornets.

EAST ROWAN: 3A BASEBALL CHAMPS

Dependable reliever Will Johnson pitched the last three innings and took the victory for East Rowan. He finished his season with a 7-0 record.
3A Box
SHAW FROM 1B
Fair enough, but we didn’t expect this. The basepaths were busier than one of those chance-of-flurries days at Food Lion, a perpetual turnstile of plodding traffic that made scorekeeping a nightmare. It was far-removed from East’s modus operandi. “It wasn’t a pretty game at all,” said third-baseman Noah Holmes, East Rowan’s Love Potion #9. “We kept letting them back in the game. But when it ended, what a feeling! There aren’t enough words to describe it.” Sapp gave it a shot. “Incredible,” he said. “Exciting. And incredible again.” • Thank goodness the word panic never appeared in the Mustangs’ playbook. They stayed composed, never fell behind and had ample fuel left in their tanks to stave off the Warriors. “We got the big lead, but we realized it was early,” said Troutman. “There was still a long way to go. Then they rallied and brought us right back to earth. We knew we were in for a fight.” It became a slugfest. The state’s last two teams standing combined for 25 runs on 29 hits, hardly the tight-fisted battle many anticipated. “We kept hitting the ball and putting it in play,” rubber-armed reliever Will Johnson said after hurling three scoreless innings and improving to 7-0. “When you do that, good things happen.” The best things happened in the last of the seventh, when Johnson induced three routine flyouts and the delivered the game’s only 1-2-3 inning. Sophomore Wesley LeRoy, victimized by Mother Nature in the first, fittingly squeezed the final out in right field. “When I saw that ball go in the air, I started praying he wouldn’t lose it,” Troutman said. “I had trouble not running out there and grabbing it myself.” Sapp, camped in nearby center field, was never worried. “Wesley had it all the way,” he said. “He wasn’t going to miss that one to save the world.” • In the end the sanest commentary was that nothing came easy for East this weekend. Perhaps that’s what made winning so rewarding — knowing this wasn’t a work of beauty, simply the work of a champion. “What I’ll remember most is how unselfish this team was,” Hightower said before boarding the team bus. “All they care about is what’s written across their chests — and that’s ‘Mustangs.’ In crunch time, no one was better in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings than this team. “No one.” And that’s a story worth telling.

teams settled in for a long struggle. “If I’d told (pitching coach Brian) Hatley before the game that we were gonna give up 10 runs,”he’d have gone and shot himself,” Hightower said with a grin. “But, man, we just knocked it all over the yard. I’m a pitching-and-defense guy, but right now, I could care less what the score was. It’s a state championship.” Will Sapp was named series MVP, with third baseman Noah Holmes and Johnson also deserving consideration. The junior center fielder was flawless with his glove and tremendous with his bat. Sapp had two doubles on Saturday and four extra-base hits for the weekend. Even his outs were rockets. “You know,it was really crazy today,” Sapp said. “But I don’t think any of us care how crazy it got. We came out on top. That’s what matters.” Sapp’s two-run double capped that bizarre eight-run first in which the Mustangs sent 12 men to the plate. Hunt contributed three walks and two errors to the huge inning. Holmes had a run-scoring single, LeRoy drew a bases-loaded walk, and Preston Troutman had a sac fly, but the biggest hit of the first inning was one delivered by DH Nathan Fulbright for his cancer-stricken father. Already down 2-0 when Fulbright came to the plate and with runners at second and third, Hunt brought its infield in. With fielders at normal depth, Fulbright would’ve grounded out to shortstop. Instead, his grounder found a hole, and he had two RBIs. East starting pitcher Alex Bost didn’t retire any of the five batters he faced, and his outing came to an abrupt end when LeRoy lost a flyball that would’ve been routine if the sun hadn’t been blazing directly in his face. Thomas Allen, who has pitched little for East in recent weeks due to a forearm injury, had reduced velocity and erratic command, but he got the Mustangs threw two innings with a 127 lead. Bradley Robbins, a sophomore with a future, worked the third and fourth. Johnson relieved him with t he bases loaded and none out in the fifth and things getting tense. Johnson allowed two sac flies that LeRoy tracked down and headed to the dugout. “Allen gutted out two innings for

East Rowan’s Justin Morris cools off in the dugout, but he was as hot as the weather on Saturday with his bat. us, and Robbins was good until the heat just got to him and gassed him,”Hightower said. “We were thinking early on we might be able to end it in five innings by the 10-run rule, but that didn’t quite work out. Fortunately, we’ve got Willie J. He should be All-State.” Johnson (7-0) was credited with the win and capped one of the great mound runs in county history. He was called upon in all eight of East’s postseason games. He allowed zero earned runs while throwing 20 pressurized innings. He struck out 20 and walked three. He pitched in East’s 11 games, all victories. “All the guys started believing that when Will came in,we weren’t going to give up any more runs,” Hightower said. Momentum appeared to be slipping away from East in the top of the second inning, but a two-out double off the left-field wall by Justin Morris ignited a four-run frame that was capped by Troutman’s two-run triple. Morris, Fulbright and Holmes had three hits each. “There was a whole buncha offense, and we needed every bit of it,” Holmes said. “I really feel like we beat a great team in a great game. They just kept fighting, but we just kept on hitting.” For Holmes, a three-year varsity veteran, and coaches Hightower, Hatley and John McNeil, the victory was especially sweet. They felt the sting of a final-game loss in the 3A championships on the same field in 2008. East was also very much in the hunt
in 2009, but one fateful Lake Norman groundball found a hole between Holmes and Troutman to decide a fourth-round game with the eventual state champions. “It’s hard for me to even describe how this feels because I’ve got tingles all over,” said Troutman, sweat pouring in buckets down his cheeks. “Mostly, I’m tired. If we’d had to go to extra innings or if we’d had to go a third game to decide it, I don’t know if we could’ve done it.” East didn’t hit the ball out of the huge ballpark as it did in Game 1, but it socked five doubles to accompany Troutman’s whistling triple. Nine different pitchers were employed in the game, and Hunt sent Zach Houchins to the mound two different times. He was one of three Hunt pitchers to struggle in the first and he returned to the scene of the crime, so to speak, in the seventh. Houchins had some guts. So did all the Hunt players. Cody Britt whacked two of his team’s four doubles, and Houchins picked up two hits and two RBIs. But East made a few more plays, hit the ball a little harder, and East had Willie J. When you’ve got Willie J., there are times you can sit back on a pickle bucket and smile. “When that last flyball was hit to right field, it hit me what we’d accomplished,” Troutman said. “It was all I could do not to start crying with the ball still in the air.”

RALEIGH -- Caleb Wells hit his only home run of the season to propel Wilmington Laney to a dramatic extrainning 6-5 victory over East Forsyth in the third and final game of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association state 4-A baseball championship series at Doak Field on the campus of N.C. State. Wells' eighth-inning homer with two outs, after East had come from four runs back to tie the game, lifted the Buccaneers to the state championship. Both teams were playing in the NCHSAA baseball finals for the first time. Laney completed a 21-10 season while East finished at 24-10.

CREST
RALEIGH — East Rowan catcher Crest 7 Kayla Potts, E. Rowan 4 the team’s lone senior, shed tears but maintained a smile while exchanging hugs following the Mustangs’ season-ending loss Saturday. “I hate it ended this way, but we accomplished a lot this year,” Potts said. “I’m proud of every single one of them. I’m just going to miss them. “I’m not sad that we lost. I’m sad that I won’t get to play with them again.” East, appearing in the 3A Final Four for the first time since 1996, won its first game at the Walnut Creek Softball Complex and dropped the next two in the double-elimination event. Crest advanced to the championship round with a 7-4 victory over the Mustangs (25-3) and then fell 6-1 to Southwestern Randolph. East’s starting lineup featured five juniors and three freshmen. Bobbi Thomas, a freshman who went 2-for-2 as a pinch-hitter in Raleigh, should take over at catcher next season. “It seemed like we had a lot of different people step up in different situations this weekend,” East coach Mike Waddell said. “We’ll be able to get back started on it next February with this under their belt. Once they get a taste, hopefully they’ll want a big gulp.” Crest’s Bailey Smith pitched six scoreless innings and struck out 10 batters before East rallied for a 2-1 victory in the Western Regional final early Friday evening.

East Rowan catcher Kayla Potts waits for the throw as Crest’s Sumer Kale slides across the plate for a run. Potts was the NOTES: Poole and Kirk shared the team lead with four only senior for a Mustang team that finished with 25 victories. The Mustangs cut their strikeout total in half and collected seven hits against Smith in the rematch, but the Chargers broke free from a 2all tie by scoring four times in the top of the fourth inning. Dakota Keller hit a two-run double off East pitcher Chelsea White, who started showing signs of fatigue midway through her third outing in 20 hours. Waddell said White, who has felt under the weather for about five days,
might have mono. Crest increased its lead to 6-2 thanks to Hannah Thompson’s RBI single and a two-out error. “Chelsea’s a great pitcher, so we worked on trying to hit the top part of the ball,” Crest coach Greg Earl said. “At that time we were able to get our swings at the right level.” East scored first, pulling ahead in the second inning when courtesy runner Heather Trexler raced home
on Steffi Sides’ single. Crest answered with two runs in the third, and the Mustangs tied the game in their half of the frame. Ericka Nesbitt scored on the first of freshman Sydney Poole’s two RBI doubles. “Yesterday we did not adjust to the Crest pitcher at all,” Nesbitt said after Saturday’s contest. “It’s the best we’ve seen all year. The movement on her ball is crazy. “Today we decided to move
up in the box and take the movement away. That’s what we did. We put hits together, but they also had their good hits.” East trailed 6-2 before scoring two runs in the fifth inning. Jessica Rummage reached on an error, and Kayla Kirk picked up an RBI with a grounder to the right side of the infield. She ended up at second base following a bad throw from close range, and Poole smacked a long double
hits and two runs scored in three tournament games. ... Kirk, Nesbitt, White, Mallory Drew and Meagan Kluttz will be seniors next season. Poole, Sides, Rummage, Thomas, Trexler, Courtney Lyerly and Allyson Mills were all part of the Final Four action as freshmen. ... SW Randolph, which held on for a 3-2 win against East on Friday night, won its third 3A title in four years. The Cougars trailed 1-0 against Crest before scoring one run in the fourth, three in the fifth and two in the sixth.

South Rowan holds on BY JORDAN HONEYCUTT sports@salisburypost.com
LANDIS — An assumed finality became a marathon fiasco last night S. Rowan 19 as South Rowan defeated Concord 16 Concord 19-16. At the end of the sixth when South starter Dylan Walker exited, South led by a score of 16-4. After a wild inning that included walks, hit batters, home runs, and yes, a catcher’s interference, the lead was suddenly cut to 16-13. The final two innings consisted of both teams trading punches. South’s lead was secured by reserve players Bubba McLaughlin and Parker Hubbard, who both had huge RBI hits in the bottom of the eighth, and by relief pitcher Matt Miller, who shut down Concord’s offense in the top of the ninth. The game both thrilled and frustrated South coach Michael Lowman, who said, “We got off to a great start, swung the bats well, and Dylan did a great job on the mound. I wanted to get some of the guys who don’t get as much playing time in there and after Dylan went out, we just couldn’t get the ball over the plate. And when we did, they hit it. “You gotta give Concord credit for hanging tough and I’m very proud of our young guys. The game was on their shoulders tonight and they won it for us.”
South bashed five homers in the first two innings that included a three run shot from Gunnar Hogan, back-to-back jacks from Joseph Basinger and Randy Shepherd, a solo shot from Trip Cross, and another three run blast from Weston Smith. There was no power outage from the visitors either, as they hit four home runs of their own. “Our guys showed heart and character in that comeback and never hung their heads,” said Concvord coach Jaymie Russ. “I wanted them to know that we were going to play hard for the rest of the time we were here and I think that we can build on this from tonight.” South starter Walker hurled six solid innings, allowing only the four runs on seven hits. Unfortunately, the relievers couldn’t turn in stellar performances. South used four relievers over the last three innings. Maverick Miles also reached a milestone as he became the South Legion’s all-time leader in triples with his seventh. Leading the way offensively for South was catcher Joseph Basinger who went 4for-4 with four runs and four RBIs. Designated hitter Randy Shepherd who was 3-for-5 with a run scored and two RBIs. South is back in action Tuesday at Stanly County and is back home Wednesday to take on Statesville.

Chandler Jones and Matt Miller had hits in the second but were stranded. Kannapolis then got to Laurens for three more runs and a 6-0 lead after three innings. Rowan finally scored in the fifth as Wesley Barker walked, went to second on a wild pitch and came home on a double by Zach Smith. Kannapolis scored its final run in the bottom of the fifth. Dylan May singled, stole second, went to third on a groundout and scored on Jonathan Wallace’s single. Matt Mauldin scored in the eighth for Rowan.

Keselowski wins believe I’ve got to fly to Nashville.’ I’m thinking, ’Oh, wow, I can’t believe somebody is paying me to drive in Nashville.”’ Keselowski, also the 2008 Nashville winner, increased his points lead from one to 196 over second-place Kyle Busch — the defending series champion who skipped the Nashville race and isn’t running for the season title. Keselowski was the only one of the top three finishers to actually arrive in time to practice Friday, and credited that for the victory that earned him the customized Gibson Guitar that goes to each race winner at the Nashville track. “It’s quite simple.

GLADEVILLE, Tenn. — Brad Keselowski raced to his third NASCAR Nationwide Series victory of the year and ninth overall, easily holding off rival Carl Edwards on Saturday night at Nashville Superspeedway. Keselowski, the series points leader, led 97 of 225 laps in his Penske Dodge and finished 1.67 seconds ahead of Edwards. Paul Menard was third, giving Sprint Cup drivers the top three spots. Keselowski, Edwards, Menard and Michael McDowell also will race Sunday at Pocono in the Sprint Cup event. McDowell exited early after finishing 30th. “It’s still physically demanding.

Gasol’s toughness grows in third final with Lakers Associated Press
The NBA notebook ... LOS ANGELES — Pau Gasol used to spend this week in Paris each year, sitting in the shade at Roland Garros and watching Rafael Nadal torment his opponents on the clay courts. Gasol’s gracious summers ended when the Los Angeles Lakers acquired Gasol just over two years ago from the woebegone Memphis Grizzlies, putting him in the thick of the NBA finals for the past three seasons. Gasol showcased his evolving toughness with every rebound and big defensive play in the Lakers’ 102-89 victory in Thursday’s opener. He had 23 points and 14 rebounds while leading the Lakers’ physical game with a stifling, aggressive performance against Kevin Garnett, who dominated their matchup in the clubs’ 2008 finals meeting. “I had to get myself mentally and physically ready for those types of challenges,” Gasol said. “Just to be able to deliver and play the way I can perform, I had to work throughout these two years to be the kind of player that I am today.” The Celtics don’t have Gasol to kick around any more, and it’s giving the Lakers an early advantage. Game 2 is today night at Staples Center. CELTICS SCHEMING Rajon Rondo often enjoys returning to his room at the Celtics’ hotel and watching tape of a Boston victory before he goes to sleep. The losses, not so much. Yet Rondo did just that after the NBA finals open-
er Thursday with teammate Kendrick Perkins, ordering room service and watching the replay of the Los Angeles Lakers’ decisive win. In his own room elsewhere in the hotel, Kevin Garnett did the same thing — twice. “You learn a lot about yourself when you lose,” Garnett said. “You learn a lot about yourself when you’re down. This shows what you’re made of.” WOODEN TRIBUTE Even after combining for 32 NBA titles, the Celtics and Lakers realize there was no basketball champion like John Wooden. The day before Game 2 of the NBA finals, the teams paused to reflect Saturday on the contributions Wooden made and honor his legacy. The Hall of Famer died on Friday night at the age of 99. “I’m very familiar with what John Wooden has done for the game of basketball,” said Celtics forward and Los Angeles native Paul Pierce. “When I talk about basketball, I don’t mean (just) the college game, I mean all of basketball. “His influence on the game has been awesome, and when you see an icon like that pass away, your heart just goes out to him and his family.” BULLS COACH The Boston Celtics apparently will need a new assistant coach after the NBA finals.Bulls.com and ESPNChicago.com both reported on Saturday that Tom Thibodeau had accepted the Chicago Bulls’ head coaching job. Thibodeau, considered one of the NBA’s top defensive minds, was also a candidate for jobs in New Orleans and New Jersey.

DUBLIN, Ohio — Rickie Fowler is one round closer to joining the youth movement on the PGA Tour. On another day of rain at the Memorial, the 21-year-old Fowler extended his bogey-free streak to 52 holes and made enough birdies for a 3-under 69 Saturday that gave him a three-shot lead going into the final round at Muirfield Village. Fowler was at 16-under 200 and had the largest 54-hole lead at the Memorial since Tiger Woods led by six in 2000. A victory would be the third by a player 22 years old or young in the last six weeks. Woods, the defending champion, shot a 69 with a double bogey and was 10 shots behind. Phil Mickelson also failed to take advantage of the soft and vulnerable course with a 70, leaving him eight shots back. • WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — Nick Price topped the second-round leaderboard again in the Principal Charity Classic, shooting a 6-under 65 to match Tommy Armour III at 10-under 132 in the Champions Tour event at Glen Oaks Country Club.

REMEMBERING JOHN WOODEN

The final days filled with love “When I spoke to him, he opened his eyes just a little bit and got a little bit of a smile,” he said. “He talked a little bit, but I couldn’t tell what he was saying.” By Friday, though, Erickson said it was evident the end was near. Wooden didn’t respond to anyone in the room, resting with his pale blue eyes closed, hours away from his long awaited reunion with his late wife Nell. “They had a very, very close relationship. I’m sure today John is a happy person,” said Gene Bartow. Erickson reminisced Saturday under the 11 national championship banners hanging in a quiet Pauley Pavilion, taking solace in knowing that Wooden was no longer in pain. “The last couple years he was not happy. He didn’t want to go through this, but he was a fighter,” he said. Walton didn’t join Satur-

LOS ANGELES — Jamaal Wilkes answered his phone a week ago and heard Michael Warren’s voice urging him to get to the hospital to see John Wooden. The former UCLA coach and Hall of Famer had been in and out of the hospital in recent years, but this time, it was different. Warren told Wilkes that Wooden might be nearing the end of his inspiring life. A few days later, a grave Bill Walton called Wilkes, saying, “Jamaal, you need to get over here.” So Wilkes headed to campus to see his 99-year-old former coach, one of many long-ago UCLA basketball greats who gathered at Wooden’s bedside in his final days to say farewell. “There were lots of people coming through,” said Keith Erickson, who starred
on the 1964 and ’65 national title teams. “Everybody wanted to give their last regards to him and let him know for sure that we had been there and how much we loved him.” Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, known as Lew Alcindor in his college days, rushed back from Europe, reaching Wooden’s side hours before he died Friday night. Gary Cunningham, a player, assistant under Wooden and later head coach of the Bruins, cut short a vacation in the Sierra Nevada. “It was very sweet,” said Andy Hill, a reserve on UCLA’s national championship teams in 1970, ’71 and ’72. “I got to tell him he can leave, but he really can’t because he’s in all of us.” Erickson spent a few minutes with Wooden on Wednesday night, tenderly holding the long, bony fingers of his mentor’s hand.

Billboard for Bloom adds scent to get your attention MOORESVILLE (AP) — It’s not just the picture of beef on a new billboard that tries to catch drivers’ attention, it’s the aroma coming from the sign. Multiple media outlets reported the billboard on N.C. 150 in Mooresville emits the smell of black pepper and charcoal to promote a new line of beef available at the Bloom grocery chain, which is part of the Salisbury-based Food Lion chain. A giant fork goes from the ground to the billboard, where it pierces a piece of meat. “In terms of being creative, with all of the advertising around, you want to be able to jump out and grab the consumer’s attention,” said Angie Hunter, the manager of marketing for Bloom. The billboard, which Bloom lit up on May 28, will emit scents from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. every day until June 18, Bloom spokeswoman Christy Phillips-Brown said. The scent is emitted by a high-powered fan at the bottom of the billboard that blows air over cartridges loaded with fragrance oil, said Murray Dameron, marketing director for Charlotte-based ScentAir, which provides custom scents and fragrance-delivery systems for businesses, including hotel lobbies, casino gambling floors and retail stores. The billboard scent is “basically a blend of black pepper and kind of a charcoal grilling smell,” Dameron said. “It smells like grilled meat with a nice pepper rub on it.” Although a billboard is a new medium for ScentAir, the company has also used the system at outdoor events or large indoor spaces, including the 2008 World Series at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla., where the domed stadium smelled like oranges. In some cases of scented outdoor advertising, people with asthma or environmental allergies have complained about the smell. In addition, it’s hard to control the aroma from scented outdoor ads, said Harald Vogt, founder of the Scent Marketing Institute, a New York-based independent consultancy. Cheryl Reid, manager of a mini-storage business on one side of the sign, couldn’t smell anything from her door this week. As she got about 30 feet from the fan, she smelled a faint, charcoal scent that didn’t

Bev Perdue announced this past week. Shoe Show in Cabarrus County was awarded $200,000 for a photovoltaic solar project to be placed on the rooftop in the Concord corporate offices. In addition to the installation of the solar panels, major elements of this project include furnishing and installing four PV-powered 260 kilowatt inverters, all wiring and installing system data monitoring equipment capable of tracking five years of real-time data via the Internet. Total cost of the project is $7.2 million, and it will generate 1.5 million kilowatt hours annually. The projects represent $26.3 million in total costs and will generate 31.8 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually (enough for 2,610 average homes for a year) or 2.6 billion BTUs (enough to provide hot water to 287 average homes for a year), depending on the project. “These projects help build our state’s green energy economy, create jobs and demonstrate how public and private partnerships can work to help our communities,” said Perdue. Money for the grants is distributed by the North Carolina Energy Office, part of the state’s Department of Commerce, through the State Energy Program fund through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Some of the other projects include: • $24,719 for a 20 panel solar thermal system for the J.V. Washam Elementary School’s cafeteria and facilities hot water use. The school is in Cornelius. • $38,042 for a photovoltaic solar project on the parking deck of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center. • $200,000 for a rooftop photovoltaic solar system at Commonwealth Brands, a manufacturer and distributor of tobacco products in Reidsville. • $200,000 for solar thermal systems to be installed at Elon University to produce approximately 4,500 gallons of hot water per day for four buildings on campus. • $32,358 for a solar thermal project to be installed at Meadowood Garden Apartments in Lenoir to supply hot water for the complex. • $200,000 for a 250 kW photovoltaic solar system to be installed on the roof of the Food Lion in Robersonville. • $143,054 for a 32 kW capacity photovoltaic solar system to be installed at both the Beatties
Divorce, not separation, keeps assets apart BY BRUCE WILLIAMS
United Features Syndicate
DEAR BRUCE: My wife and I separated, but are still not divorced. I am buying her share of the house from her. The house is in my name alone. If something were to happen to me, would she be able to claim any or all of the house? I already removed her from my will. — Reader via e-mail
DEAR READER: You didn’t say what state you live in but if you are still legally married at the time of your death, the likelihood is you would not be allowed to cut her out of your will. In most states, the wife is entitled to at least one-third of the deceased spouses estate. If you have decid-
Smart money ed to live apart, maybe you should be considering divorce. You may wish to consider yourself still married, but legally, it would be to your advantage to divorce. DEAR BRUCE: When I’m wideawake watching infomercials, I see a lot of these ads where you buy now but pay the interest next year. How does this work? — Reader via e-mail
DEAR READER: Understand that nothing is EVER free. The interest is always in the purchase price. While it may not be expressed as interest, the use of that money is still part of the deal.
This is often true of products that carry a very high markup price, where they can afford to write off the interest. In reality, the consumer is always paying it, period. DEAR BRUCE: I am 35 years old, married and have three children. My family and friends keep saying that I should be investing for my future, but I have no idea where to begin. Can you give me some guidance? — L.O. via e-mail
DEAR L.O.: For someone your age, there is absolutely nothing more important than acquiring knowledge about investing and coming up with an investment schedule. You need to do some research. As I have said time and
time again, the Internet is invaluable and magazines such as Money, Forbes, Fortune, Wall Street Journal and the business section of your local paper are all great sources. The one major investment that many are reluctant to make is the time required to gain this knowledge. Interested in buying or selling a house? Let Bruce Williams’ “House Smart” be your guide.

joined other independent pharmacies in requesting that Congress confront the pharmacy benefit management industry’s fees and practices. According to the Association of Community Pharmacists Congressional Network, the pharmacy benefit management industry is the primary source of inflated prescription costs. Pharmacy owners across the nation have provided evidence to members of Congress that PBMs underpay local pharmacies and hide the underpayments from insurers and government plans. ACP/CN encouraged congressional leaders to introduce a pharmacy bill to end these practices and place greater emphasis on use of generic drugs, local pharmacies, and other significant costcontainment measures. It could reduce prescription costs for taxpayers and consumers by more than $250 billion over 10 years, according to a report for ACP/CN by a former analyst of the Congressional Budget Office. Whit Moose Jr. is president of Moose Pharmacy. Moose Pharmacy operates four different locations in Mt. Pleasant, Concord, Midland and Salisbury. The company specializes in competitively priced prescription medication, compounding medications, Moose Pharmacy brand of overthe-counter supplements and homeopathic health solutions.
Hershey chocolate workers in Pa. approve labor deal HERSHEY, Pa. (AP) — Unionized workers at two Hershey Co. hometown chocolate plants on Friday overwhelming approved a labor deal that could eliminate hundreds of jobs and leave just administrative offices in the original factory built by founder Milton Hershey. Union members approved the deal because of the candy maker’s promise to expand and modernize its newer West Hershey plant across town and because of its threat to move the project and jobs elsewhere if the union rejected it, a union official said. “I think the members thought it was the only way to ensure the plant would be built here instead of somewhere else in the United States,” said Diane Carroll,
secretary/treasurer of Chocolate Workers Local 464. The vote was 1,317 to 95, meaning some workers slated to lose their jobs still voted yes because it would save someone else’s job, Carroll said. The company’s board of directors still must approve the expansion plan, Hershey spokesman Kirk Saville said. The Hershey Co., whose sweet treats include Almond Joy, Kit Kat, Milk Duds and Reese’s peanut butter cups, could cut 500 to 600 jobs under the plan, which it says is necessary to remain competitive in the global market. The 105-year-old plant, at 19 E. Chocolate Ave., has an unwieldy layout that makes it inefficient and troublesome to upgrade, Saville said.

Smell, health risks of Chinese drywall kept under wraps
Deficits, banking rules stymie world’s financial powers BUSAN, South Korea (AP) — Finance chiefs of leading economies tackled the thorny issue of reforming supervision of banks and other financial institutions Saturday, the urgency of their task sharpened by fears Hungary’s debt crisis could bring on a new round of financial turmoil. The Group of 20 major advanced and developing economies looked likely to put aside discord over technical details for the sake of progress on an outline for a coordinated program of financial reforms to be endorsed by leaders, including President Barack Obama, in a June 26-27 meeting in Toronto. Talks focused on the need to rein in ballooning deficits. “The majority of the member states put budgetary consolidation as their top priority,” French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde told reporters. Stocks in the United States plunged Friday after a weak jobs report, with the Dow industrials losing 324 points. In Europe, fears that Hungary might face a Greece-like financial meltdown pushed the euro to below $1.20 for the first time in more than four years. “The mood has changed decisively in favor of encouraging those countries facing the highest risks to accelerate their deficit reduction plans,” British Chancellor George Osborne wrote in Saturday’s edition of The Times Online. As they began their talks Friday in the South Korean
“The recent event in Europe and volatility in the financial market have clearly shown us the global recovery is still fragile.” YOON JEUNG-HYUN
South Korea’s minister of strategy and finance
port city of Busan, the finance ministers and central bankers showed growing concern over the threat to the global recovery from Europe’s sovereign debt crisis. Hungary became the latest country to warn Friday it was facing problems, following Greece, Spain and Portugal. “The recent event in Europe and volatility in the financial market have clearly shown us the global recovery is still fragile,” said Yoon Jeung-hyun, South Korea’s minister of strategy and finance, referring to Europe’s $1 trillion bailout at the opening as the chair of the session. “Today we are meeting at a critical time when our cooperation is more important than ever to address significant economic risks and firmly secure the global recovery,” Yoon said. The group were to end their talks later in the day with a statement that is expected to express strong support for Europe’s bailout. But the agenda also includes reform of internation-
al financial institutions and nuts-and-bolts issues on how to finance and structure safety nets to limit damage from future crises. This includes “the need to ensure the credibility of the massive mechanisms needed to restore stability,” Lagarde said. Apart from controversy over whether to impose a bank levy to fund bailouts, members are also debating a global standard for capital reserves that financial institutions must hold as cushion against potential loan losses. Osborne said he still would be pushing for agreements on tightening banking capital requirements to be concluded, to “end the uncertainty.” But some members fear that too steep or fast an increase would prompt banks to curb lending, cutting off funding crucial for a recovery. “There will be a delay in implementation,” said Lagarde, noting the need for technical work on the rules. The G-20, founded in 1999, shifted its focus to crisis management after the 2008 collapse of U.S. investment bank Lehman Brothers. The group meeting in Busan is drafting an agenda for a summit meeting in Seoul in November that includes building a “framework for strong, sustainable and balanced growth.” On Friday, World Bank experts at a conference in Busan said that agenda must take into account the growing need to tap the strong potential of developing economies, which are due to see 6 percent growth this year.
Appeals court ruling good for US Airways pilot union The pilot’s union at US Airways won a legal fight on Friday in its dispute with members who came from the old America West when the two airlines combined in 2005. The issue has been whether the union would have to follow an arbitrator’s award on seniority that was seen as favoring the America West pilots. Six of those America West pilots had sued, saying the pilot’s union was harming them by not following the arbitrator’s decision. Last year a federal judge in Phoenix agreed. But on Friday, a threejudge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said it’s too soon to say that the union has harmed the America West pilots, and it ordered the case dismissed. For them to make a claim, a new contract ignoring the arbitrator’s award would have to be ratified, two of the judges ruled. Until that happens it’s just speculation to say the America West pilots will be harmed by the union’s plans, the majority opinion said. Even if the union doesn’t follow the arbitrator’s decision, the contract it negotiates with the company might not be as bad as the America West pilots fear, the judges wrote. The US Airline Pilots Association said the ruling leaves it free to go back to negotiating its own seniority agreement with the company, rather than the one handed down by the arbitrator. The union said it’s not bound by the arbitrator’s decision because it was reached under its predecessor, the Air Line Pi-
lots Association. Seniority is important to pilots because it dictates who gets the more desirable schedules, as well as who gets laid off. The court ruling said some America West pilots who have been furloughed would be working if the arbitrator’s decision had been adopted. The union’s seniority proposal goes by when pilots were hired. That favors pilots from the old US Airways, who tended to be older. USAPA President Mike Cleary said that’s what’s fair. “All of their investments into the corporation, into their careers need to be respected,” he said. America West pilots had argued that US Airways was
on the verge of being liquidated before their airline rescued it out of bankruptcy protection and took its name. The company, now called US Airways Group Inc., is based in Tempe, Ariz. and run by executives who came from America West. Marty Harper, an attorney for the six America West pilots, said it was nearly certain they would ask for their appeal to be heard by the full 9th Circuit. US Airways spokeswoman Michelle Mohr said, “we have consistently stated it is our strong desire to see our pilots resolve their seniority dispute and to achieve a joint contact with the company. We look forward to a final resolution.”
their homes in 2008 would have loved to have known what Banner knew in 2006,” said Diaz, who is representing more than 150 Miami-Dade homeowners in the lawsuit. Diaz said consumers and installers were victimized by “this sweetheart deal.”

The documents, unsealed Friday and provided to the Associated Press by attorney Victor Diaz, include a settlement agreement between Banner Supply Co. and manufacturer Knauf Plasterboard Tianjin Co. In the agreement, signed in December 2006, Knauf agreed to provide Banner Supply with thousands of pieces of U.S.-produced plasterboard and to pay them $7,300 per month to store the Chinese product.

Gary Coleman had a will; parents drop burial plans he wanted to have done,” Jackman said. In 1989, when Gary Coleman was 21, his mother filed a court request trying to gain control of her son’s $6 million fortune, saying he was incapable of handling his affairs. The move “obviously stems from her frustration at not being able to control my life,” he said. Gary Coleman’s career took a considerable nose dive in the late 1980s and it never recovered. It’s unclear how much his estate is worth now, but his Santaquin home in a middle class neighborhood about 65 miles south of Salt Lake City is valued at about $315,000, according to Utah County property tax records. Shielia Erickson, a repre-
COLEMAN sentative for Price, said she is grateful the Colemans have backed off. “That’s all we wanted to do is fill Gary’s wishes,” she said. He is originally from Zion, Ill., a small town about 50 miles north of Chicago near the Wisconsin border. Gary Coleman starred for eight seasons on the sitcom “Diff’rent Strokes,” starting in 1978.
PENSACOLA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The timing might be a bit off for tourists hoping to waste away in Margaritaville. But that doesn’t bother Jimmy Buffett. The singer — whose tunes are as much a part of life in this beach town as fried grouper sandwiches, Land Shark beer and the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels — is planning to open a 162-room Margaritaville Hotel in a week. As tar balls came ashore Saturday from an oil plume
shooting out of the floor of the Gulf of Mexico, Buffett said he had no plans to delay the opening. “This will pass,” he said as walked along the city’s beachfront and fishing pier with Fla. Gov. Charlie Crist. Buffett told fans he often went to Pensacola Beach while growing up nearby in Alabama. He said his favorite memories are of sunsets in the fall. He joked that he also enjoys the sunrises — but usually sleeps through them.

mediately returned Friday. Sue Coleman and husband Willie Coleman had been seeking to take custody of their son’s body and return it to his boyhood home in Illinois once it was discovered this week that he had divorced wife Shannon Price in 2008. It was Price — who was named in an advanced health care directive — who ordered that Gary Coleman be taken off of life support. His parents have said they learned about his hospitalization and death from media reports and they had wanted to reconcile with their son before his death. “We know that we loved him. We know deep in his heart he loves us,” Sue Coleman said Friday. “That’s the way it is.” She said she wasn’t aware of any funeral details outlined in the will and that she had not spoken with Mial in probably 20 years. Randy Kester, a Utah defense attorney who has represented Gary Coleman in the past, has said the two discussed the need to meet and work on a will as recently as four or five weeks ago. Gary Coleman’s parents had been preparing to go to court, but Jackman said that’s no longer the case because they had seen a copy of the will naming Mial as its beneficiary. “The Colemans from the start simply wanted to do what

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Gary Coleman’s estranged parents abandoned their effort to bury him in his native Illinois Friday after a Utah attorney revealed the actor named an executor in a 1999 will. “Of course it’s disappointing. We’d be inhuman if it wasn’t, but we’re not up for a fight,” Coleman’s mother, Sue Coleman, said in an interview with The Associated Press. “We just want him finally put away to rest.” Gary Coleman died May 28 in Utah from a brain hemorrhage at age 42. Salt Lake City Attorney Kent Alderman said he has a will Coleman wrote that he will take to a Utah County court sometime this week. The will was written before Coleman moved to Utah and met his future wife during filming for the 2006 comedy “Church Ball.” Alderman wouldn’t reveal details of the will, including the name of the executor, but said Coleman will not be buried this weekend. “We will submit that for probate next week and find out if this is the last will. We believe it is. Nobody’s come up with a more recent one,” Alderman said. Frederick Jackman, an attorney for Gary Coleman’s parents, said the person named in the will is Dion Mial, a friend and former manager of the former child TV star. A message left at a listing for Mial in Las Vegas was not im-

Fixing foster care Reforms help states reduce numbers BY DAVID CRARY Associated Press

A final mission
Kissing a long marriage goodbye
From “Wineka’s World,” a blog by Salisbury Post columnist Mark Wineka:
Gores’ breakup isn’t as unusual as you might think
I
’m a lazy writer who tends to dump everything from my notepad into stories, which makes them too long for modern attention spans. What I mean to say is, there’s not a lot of selfediting going on. But a recent story I wrote on Floyd Daugherty Sr. of MARK Landis, a vetWINEKA eran of 30 bombing missions over Europe in World War II, left out something that I just didn’t know how to include. Daugherty had finished his 30th and last bombing mission. He never suffered a scrape, and the B-17s in which he was tailgunner were never shot down, though they often limped back to the base in Ipswich, England, on only two of the four engines. After talking to many veterans over the years, I realize now what an accomplishment it was, first, to survive a bombing mission and, second, never to be wounded or have to bail out of a disabled bomber.
Bloggers’corner
A sampling from staff posts at www.salisburypost.com Daugherty was waiting on the Ipswich runway apron for his closest friend to complete his final bombing mission — an event they were sure to celebrate later. But as his friend’s plane was coming in for a landing, a red flare went up, signifying that someone on board was injured. Daugherty was in the group that reached the bomber first. He saw his friend inside, motionless and covered in blood. An enemy shell had gone through his groin “and tore him to pieces,” Daugherty told me. He was dead. Disconsolate, Daugherty walked away from the plane kicking rocks and “half-crying,” he said. He didn’t see the ground officer pass him in a Jeep. The officer stopped and moved back to where Daugherty was walking and reprimanded him for not saluting an officer. He ordered Daugherty to sweep streets at the base for the next three nights as punishment for the slight. “I could have killed him,” Daugherty said. I know it’s too late, Floyd, but permission granted.

N
EW YORK — There was no salacious sex scandal, no prostitution ring, no mysterious trip to Argentina. Al and Tipper Gore are a famous political couple, but their split after 40 years of marriage apparently stemmed from a much simpler, more mundane cause, according to friends: They simply grew apart. And in that, experts say, they’re no different from many Americans. Such late-marriage splits are much more common than we think. “We tend to mistakenly believe that once people reach a certain point in marriage, they just stop splitting up,” says Betsey Stevenson, an economist at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School who studies family trends. “But that’s simply not true.” In fact, Stevenson says, though marriages are more likely to fail in the first 10 years, once you get past that, “the percentage of those divorcing each year is very similar throughout the years of marriage.” Of course, there’s no getting around the shock factor surrounding the separation announcement by the Gores, which came in an e-mail Tuesday to friends. Unlike many political couples, they’d spoken openly of their feelings for each other and seemed to share an easy affection, not to mention four children and three grandchildren. That affection was apparent even without The Kiss — the go-for-broke liplock between the vice president and his wife at the 2000 Democratic convention that made so many blush, and is probably doing so again, on YouTube. Was it impulsive or calculated? Either way, it was still quite a kiss. But now the Gores are parting, and many are asking not only, “Why THEM?” but “Why NOW?”
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A decade after this kiss at the 2000 Democratic National Convention, Al and Tipper Gore said they were separating after 40 years of marriage. Talk to relationship experts, though, and they point to a host of reasons why a couple at such a late stage might find themselves in the same position. Perhaps the most obvious: After 40 years, children have been launched and are well into adulthood, often with children of their own. Before then, even when children are teens or young adults, parenting can be so all-consuming that it’s virtually a permanent distraction from one’s own marriage. Compounding the normal stresses and demands of raising four children, the Gores went through a painful ordeal when their then 6-year-old son, Albert, was nearly killed in a car accident. “Even with older children, the demands are quite intense,” says Elana Katz, a family therapist and divorce
mediator at New York’s Ackerman Institute for the Family. “That can be distracting, or it can create a strong bond. But when that chapter is done, people face each other across the kitchen table and say, ’Can this be the relationship that’s my primary source of enjoyment as we go forward?”’ Also, says Katz, older people have expectations for their relationships now that previous generations may not have. “Even a couple of decades ago, people didn’t have the same expectations of love and intimacy at a later age,” she says. It’s significant that Al and Tipper Gore married in 1970, notes Stephanie Coontz, author of “Marriage, A History,” and professor of family studies at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash. Marriages in the late ’60s and ’70s are marked by higher divorce rates than those of later years, she says. Why? Partly because people still married very young.

The two are now 61 and 62, with decades of health, seemingly, ahead of them. “The idea used to be that by our sixties, life was pretty much over anyway,” says Coontz. “But today, people who reach 65 are likely to have another 20 years ahead. So it makes the calculus of living in an unhappy marriage even harder to take.” Plus, with longer life expectancies, there are more potential new partners out there — “what we call a thicker remarriage market,” Coontz says. A 2004 study on divorce conducted by AARP seemed to bear that out, finding that three-quarters of women in their 50s and more than 80 percent of men reported having a serious relationship after their divorce — often within two years.

MOMENT OF TRUTH
Perfect gentlemen Y
ou’ve heard of it by now. The perfect game that wasn’t. Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga mowed down 26 straight Cleveland Indians hitters Wednesday night, while his Tiger teammates were playing flawlessly behind him. But his chance for a perfect game ended on the 27th batter and a botched call at first by veteran umpire Jim Joyce. Joyce acknowledged after the game — after seeing a video replay — that he missed the close play at first. “I just cost that kid a perfect game,” ASSOCIATED PRESS a distraught Joyce Umpire Jim Joyce said. It has been the talk at watercoolers ever since. Thursday afternoon, before the Tigers’ day game, General Motors presented Galarraga with a 2010 Corvette for the previous night’s gem. Michigan’s governor — by the authority vested in a governor, apparently — declared Galarraga the owner of a perfect game, even if Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig would not. The White House even weighed in, with spokesman Robert Gibson saying the ump’s ruling should be reversed. (Although the president can veto an act of Congress, his powers don’t extend to disputed baseball calls. But perhaps he will invite Galarraga and Joyce to join him for a Rose Garden beer.) Listen to the talk around the office, as well as the discussion on sports broadcasts, and a common theme emerges: People talked about how much they admired both Joyce and Galarraga. The lesson here, of course, is good sportsmanship. Joyce owned up to a mistake on a bangbang play. He also sought out Galarraga in the clubhouse after the game and personally apologized. This is rare for umpires — against their code, so to speak. And Galarraga conducted himself like a gentleman on the field after the call, staying out of the heated arguments. He also showed tremendous civility in the clubhouse after seeing the replay and realizing that he truly did pitch a perfect game, though baseball will never recognize it as such. What does being a class act get you? For Joyce, it will allow him to continue as one of the game’s more respected umpires. For Galarraga, well, he’s driving a Corvette and earning proclamations from the governor. As a sincere Galarraga told reporters after Joyce’s apology: “Nobody’s perfect.”

But a single mother of two, Gina Frutig, penetrated the budget tedium recently in Raleigh and put a face on the budget cuts elected leaders sometimes make, according to the Associated Press. House budget writers had already heard dozens of speakers, but they paid attention when Frutig made her impassioned, two-minute presentation. The 29-year-old teaches fourth grade at R.N. Harris Elementary School in Durham — at the moment. Like some of Rowan County’s teachers, she has received a pink slip for next fall in anticipation of state budget cuts. Here are excerpts from the AP’s report: “I am a North Carolina public school teacher. I educate children. I am unemployed,” she said at the close of the three-hour hearing, long after the TV news cameras had left. “My students need me in the

Frutig told lawmakers that she had signed up daughter Julia and son Charlie for Medicaid because she’ll be out of work next week, losing her $35,200 salary. She said she got rid of cable television when she didn’t have enough food for her family. She spent her savings to get her car repairs in April and went to a free museum and stayed at friends’ homes for vacation. ... “The purpose of a public hearing is to put real faces and real people out front. That was a great example of it,” said House Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange, who heard Frutig speak. “It was sort of an electric moment.” There are a lot of Gina Frutigs out there this year.

The Rowan County Board of Commissioners is holding a public hearing 6 p.m. Monday on its proposed budget for 2010-11, which has a General Fund of $127 million. The final vote is still two weeks away, and the board will have another budget work session before that. But this hearing is important. So far there’s been little to no discussion of raising the property tax rate, now 59.5 cents per $100 of valuation. Instead, the question seems to be how deep commissioners are willing to dip into the county’s $22 million fund balance. It’s a valuable cushion. One of the big issues is the school system’s request for a $3 million increase. So far the budget includes $32.1 million for the schools, the same as last year. Some teachers may be there, pleading their case — plus administrators, parents and others. This issue alone could define the difference between the two runoff candidates. They’ll cast their final budget vote June 21 — the day before the voters have their say in the primary runoff. The timing could not be better. • • • Elizabeth Cook is editor of the Salisbury Post.

Larry Bell provides motivation, training T
he Rowan-Salisbury School System has faced the challenge for many years of raising expectations for our staff and students and motivating them to achieve to their potential. As administrators discussed what the school system could do to meet this challenge, one name continued to be mentioned — Larry Bell. Larry Bell is an inspirational educator and national speaker. Mr. Bell JUDY travels the GRISSOM world presenting his “Closing the Achievement Gap” and “The Power of a Teacher Through High Expectations” seminars, which focus on practical ideas for improving test scores while raising expectations and motivating students to achieve success. What a difference just one person can make! Because the Rowan-Salisbury School System has been in District Improvement under the No Child Left Behind legislation, a specified amount of Title I federal funds must be spent on professional development that is research-based. Funds that are not spent on districtwide training cannot be used for any other purpose. These funds were appropriate to use in bringing Mr. Bell to

Larry Bell spent four days in the school system during the 2008-2009 school year and 16 days in the school system during the 2009-2010 school year. He conducted a full-day training session for 65 principals and administrators. At each school level, a team of five to six staff members were selected to spend one day and
one half-day with Mr. Bell — a total of 180 school-based staff. Each school team coordinated activities at their individual school based on the presentation. Mr. Bell made over 70 presentations at 23 different schools reaching approximately 2,400 staff members. His topic “Power of a Teacher” is inspirational and practical. He made 14 different presentations directly to almost 4,000 students. Curriculum coaches, curriculum directors, members of the Closing the Gap committee, and teacher education candidates at Livingstone and Catawba colleges have benefited from working closely with Mr. Bell. Students and teachers have been excited about integrating the “12 Powerful Words” and “U-N-R-A-A-V-E-L” strategies in classrooms on a daily basis. The “12 Powerful Words” are words that stump students when completing reading and math assignments or answering questions on standardized tests. Words such as trace, analyze, infer, evaluate, formulate, describe, support, explain, summarize, compare, contrast and predict may cause students to be confused about what the problem is asking them to do. U-N-R-A-A-V-E-L (yes, there are two “A’s”) teaches students the skills for “breaking apart” a lesson or problem. Each letter stands for a strate-
gy for students to use in reading and math activities. Students know how to solve difficult math problems by using the steps to math unravel. Reading passages are clearer to students as they use the reading unravel process. Students in every school created unique ways to internalize the strategies. Some schools wrote cheers, songs, raps or their own poems; others developed unique incentives to help students learn the strategies. Not only are they singing the songs and reciting the rhymes, but also students are using the strategies regularly in their schoolwork. Mr. Bell believes that our schools have “at promise” students, not “at-risk” students. He believes that teachers have the most incredible opportunity to make a difference in the lives of their students. Mr. Bell has been impressed with our school district and a number of works created by our students are now included in his presentations to other systems. Teachers have seen a definite improvement in student work because of using the Larry Bell strategies. The Rowan-Salisbury School System has been fortunate to have Mr. Bell in our school system to help our students become more academically successful. • • • Dr. Judy Grissom is superintendent of the Rowan-Salisbury School System.

‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’ and reality S

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has ignited discussion about the meaning of feminism.
Is Sarah Palin a real feminist? E
ver since former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin started re-versioning herself as a conservative feminist last month (in a speech before the infamously-conservative women’s group, the Susan B. Anthony List) she has ignited a firestorm of discussion online on the meaning of feminism and whether Sarah Palin can claim membership in that club or not. To me, the most interesting take was written by feministing.com’s Jessica Valenti in an Op-Ed in the Washington Post this past week. BONNIE Valenti, as a card-carrying liberal feminist herERBE self, opines as how Palin is not a feminist because Palin doesn’t support government policies that help women: abortion rights, access to birth control, pay equity and so on. Nor, says Valenti, has Palin engaged in any academic feminism, investigating such issues as “patriarchic norms” or “systemic inequities.” Valenti calls Palin a “fake” feminist who is adopting the mantra as part of a political “strategy” and who consequently is making the term “meaningless” because one cannot support conservative (and implied, anti-female) ideologies and be a feminist at the same time. Let me say, as I always do when writing on this complicated topic, that I am not a feminist. Labels make me nervous and I toe no ideological line. I have devoted my life to advancing women’s rights (as well as several other issues) but I do not subscribe to the complete feminist agenda and therefore do not qualify as one. That said, I thank my feminist foremothers for blazing the path for me and other women as well. I would like to point out that whether someone buys every item on the feminist shopping list or not, one may still be able to comment intelligently on things that both sides are missing in this debate. First, I agree with Jessica Valenti that it’s nigh onto impossible for a conservative ideologue to be a feminist. Beyond that, it’s rather bizarre that a conservative woman would want to adopt the mantra, given that other conservatives have trashed the label for decades. Remember Rush Limbaugh and “femi-nazis?” Second, conservatives are traditionalists. Traditional women, for the most part, adopt traditional roles including staying home full time, raising the children and being homemakers. So far as I know, women never suffered gender bias in that role. There was never genderbased bias against homemaking as there was and continues to be gender-based bias against career women in the work place. No law has ever been adopted saying women may not stay home full-time. There used to be laws saying women were the chattels of men or that women could not vote and that employers could pay women workers less than men. It took a political movement, called feminism, to overturn those laws. Sarah Palin exhorts her “Mama Grizzlies” to get involved in politics to lobby on issues that matter to them and their families, like lowering taxes. Lower taxes are of greater concern to people making higher incomes and leaning less frequently on government programs. Married white women, the wealthiest cohort of women voters, tend to vote Republican. Why? They are more concerned about raising their own family’s disposable income by lowering taxes than they are about increasing federal funding for daycare or other programs that poor women rely upon, and thereby raising taxes overall. Sarah Palin is doing an extraordinary job of trying to energize unhappy Republican women voters with her new feminist label. Whether that energy will last through November’s elections will have more to do with whether the economy turns around than anything Sarah Palin can do. Liberal feminists, on the other hand, should take a page from conservative women’s notebooks and recognize they will help more women by advising them to get educated and not have children out of wedlock than they will lobbying for subsidized day care. So as far as I’m concerned, each side in this debate can learn a little bit from each other. • • • Bonnie Erbe is a TV host and writes this column for Scripps Howard News Service.
eventeen years ago, when Colin Powell was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he declared that “open homosexuality” was “incompatible” with military service. At the time, he was defending the policy of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” which forced gay and lesbian soldiers to hide their sexuality or leave the service. But now he thinks STEVE & COKIE ROBERTS that policy should be repealed. “Today we’ve changed,” he told ABC’s “This Week.” “The country has changed.” Powell is right. When it comes to sexual orientation, this is a far more open and tolerant country. It’s time to end a policy that has ended the careers of 13,000 homosexual troops, and forced countless others to live a lie while defending our security. The House has passed a bill that would eliminate “don’t ask, don’t tell” after the Pentagon completes a study of the issue next December. A Senate committee has passed a similar measure (attached to the defense funding bill) but it still faces a rocky legislative road. A small but vocal chorus of Christian conservatives continues to oppose any change in current law, and they are strongly supported by some orthodox military chaplains who believe homosexuality is a sin. As a result, only five House Republicans backed repeal on the floor and only one Senate Republican supported it in committee. A filibuster is looming, and with time running out in the legislative session, repeal could get trampled in the rush for the exits. That would be wrong. The American people — including rank-and-file Republicans — know the current policy is deeply unfair. Christian conservatives have a right to their opinion, but they don’t have a right to impose their narrowminded view of homosexuality on the rest of the country. In the latest ABC/Washington Post survey, 75 percent of

A recent survey shows that 75 percent of Americans favor a military that includes openly gay and lesbian troops. Americans favor a military that includes openly gay and lesbian troops. That’s up from 44 percent in 1993, a swift and stunning shift, but the change is even greater among two key groups. Eighty-four percent of women favor ditching “don’t ask, don’t tell,” and for young people under 30, the rate is 81 percent. Even among Republicans, 64 percent back repeal. The reason is reality. Most Americans know and like openly gay people in their schools, their workplaces, their neighborhoods and their own families. Our grandsons play on a Little League team with a child who has two dads. Steve has a half-dozen former students living in loving, committed samesex relationships. That’s America, folks. And remember: We have an all-volunteer army. Those 13,000 troops who were kicked out over the past 17 years chose to serve their country. We should be thanking them, not trashing them. A change in policy does pose real challenges on issues like domestic partnerships and base housing. And the military
should respect the sensibilities of serving soldiers and their families during the transition. But two other issues raised by critics are not legitimate. The first is “unit cohesion” or “troop morale.” About 30 other countries, including most of our NATO allies, allow gays to serve openly, and we are told that in private conversations with Pentagon officials, these allies have sent a strong, uniform message: Your fears are unfounded; the impact has been minimal. That leaves the Religious Right and their allies in the chaplain corps. They have tried to frame this as a free-speech issue, arguing that chaplains who believe homosexuality is morally wrong will be forced into silence. As 41 retired chaplains asserted in a recent letter, “Chaplains will confront a profoundly difficult morale choice: whether they are to obey God or to obey man.” Ringing words, but false ones. As three other retired chaplains said in their own letter: “Under such a theory, President Truman would have been unable to integrate blacks into
New cybersecurity worries BY ANN MCFEATTERS

W
ASHINGTON — The four-star general newly in charge of the nation’s cybersecurity loves his new iPad. His four daughters are Internet wizards. His 12 grandchildren are certain to share their mothers’ passion. And therein lies the rub. We thought we had enough to worry about with the Gulf oil spill, the immigration debate, Iranian nukes, North Korean aggression, Israeli aggression, the struggling economy and heartbreaking baseball calls. But, oh no, there’s more. Not only are stateless cybercriminals probing 24/7 for our country’s top-secret information and intellectual property, but the demand for Internet access and computing power is growing exponentially. Gen. Keith Alexander, who is in charge of the National Security Agency, was just confirmed as the first U.S. cybersecurity commander. That’s the good news — the federal government finally instituted a central command. Considering that the military has to protect 7 million computers a day, it’s about time. The bad news is that there are now an estimated 247 billion e-mail messages a day worldwide. (“Two-hundred billion of them are spam, and I know because I get a lot of them in my home e-mail,” jests the general). Custom-built malware is now able to reach every institution. Cybercriminals are limited only by time and resources in the havoc they can wreak. Ten years ago, the major problem was exploited data; now government operations can be and are being sabotaged. Alexander says the proceeds from cybercrime now exceed the ill-gotten gains of illegal drug-trafficking. To make matters worse, the U.S. is still on Internet Protocol version 4, not IPv6, which has more addresses and is not filling up as fast as IPv4. (Typical Alexander joke: “Some want to try out IPv5 first?” There is no IPv5.) Alexander worries about the enemy co-opting control of computer commands in real-time battlefield operations, increasing the urgency for clear rules of engagement. He worries about the ongoing theft of American data and technological ingenuity. He worries about the threat to global American businesses. He also worries about the loss of personal privacy and civil liberties as the military gains access to everything we do on computers. He spends a lot of time with lawyers and in court trying to pave new ground without clear-cutting our privacy.
Gen. Keith Alexander is the nation’s first cybersecurity commander. The key to protecting privacy, Alexander ironically says, is transparency — congressional oversight committees must be kept aware of everything the cybersecurity command is doing, without compromising security or letting the enemy know what protections are in place. He says he is confident the system is working well because “we have superb people.” He is definitely worried about the future. The best and the brightest were lured into the new command because it was considered a prestigious new institution. But as time goes by, recruiting top people for arcane government posts is not easy. Alexander also favors an international treaty for cybersecurity, but concedes the big problem will not be in agreeing on rules but enforcing them equally. He wants enhanced partnerships among U.S. government agencies, such as the Department of Commerce, the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security. And he worries that much of the military’s computing capability is in the hands of the private sector. Alexander now has the authority to launch attacks against enemy computer networks. That, of course, raises a lot of questions about the scope and ultimate authorities of the command, questions that Alexander and members of Congress have yet to answer. The general did tell Congress that his new iPad is “wonderful,” although some experts say iPads have significant security vulnerabilities. Here’s hoping he has the latest security — complex pass codes, a locking mechanism to thwart thieves, no capture of screenshots. And, of course, he must be careful about visiting suspect Web sites, opening e-mail attachments and getting on YouTube with his daughters and grandchildren. • • • Scripps Howard columnist Ann McFeatters has covered the White House and national politics since 1986.
the armed forces, for many chaplains then believed that integration was sinful, and against God’s wishes.” In a more basic sense, they added, the critics of repeal misunderstand the role of military chaplains, who “are trained to be pluralistic (and) to minister within the military’s pluralistic and multicultural setting.” Chaplains swear to uphold the Constitution, and “the Bible does not trump the Constitution.” We have many bibles, many scriptures, many faiths in this country, but only one Constitution. Vast majorities now agree that the equal rights ordained by that document bar discrimination based on sexual orientation. The country has changed, for the better. “Don’t ask, don’t tell” served a purpose for its time, but that time is over. • • • Steve Roberts’ new book, “From Every End of This Earth” (HarperCollins), was published last fall.

LETTERS Gulf oil spill is a crime The destruction of our environment by petroleum companies is a crime against humanity. There is no valid justification, and any legislation that prevents prosecution of those responsible for this catastrophe must be rectified immediately. Those members of Congress who introduced and who supported the introduction of such safety valves to protect these criminals must be held responsible of complicity in the destruction of our planet. Their names must be made known to the public in connection with the limitations introduced in the law to protect criminals like them. — Miguel Reinoso Salisbury
RCCC’s funding request One of the oldest public entity budgeting tricks is to avoid plant maintenance and use available funds for goodies that the public may not support. Then when the place starts to fall apart, cry “emergency” and demand special funding over and above the budget. Concrete crumbles and the roof leaks over time. The administrators of RCCC knew this was coming, but they chose to hire new staff and make other status-enhancing purchases rather than pay for needed repairs. One excuse they use is increased enrollment. It is difficult to believe that more students would cause the concrete to crumble faster. They certainly couldn’t cause the roof to leak faster. What increased enrollment does is increase college funds, from both tuition and government support. Increased enrollment increases costs, but anyone familiar with college funding knows that the increased funding far exceeds increased costs. This increased funding could have been spent on maintenance, but it was more fun to spend it on exotica. RCCC has at least twice as many administrators as a college of its size needs. I would welcome the opportunity to demonstrate this to the college board or the Post editorial board. The answer is simple. Eliminate a dozen or so superfluous administrators (starting with the new Dean of Miscellany). Among those eliminated should be people responsible for playing games with the college budget. The resulting pool of money could quickly retire any bonds needed to make necessary repairs. — Joe Roberts Salisbury

Among those who said that they had, a quarter had married more than 20 years earlier. “It’s not inconceivable that people’s desires, preferences and interests would have changed enough over 40 years that they’d decide they’d be better off splitting up,” says Stevenson. After losing the 2000 presidential race, Al Gore carved out a post-politics career that has taken him around the globe. His campaign to draw attention to climate change led to a 2007 Nobel Peace Prize and an Oscar for the documentary “An Inconvenient Truth.” During those years, Tipper Gore has been said to have focused on her photography. Despite the apparent divergence in the Gores’ interests and lifestyles, some might ask whether a marriage that lasted 40 years can ever be called a failure. Stevenson, of the Wharton School, is one of them. “People see this as sad, but I don’t see how we can look at a 40-year marriage and say it’s a failure,” she says. “It’s really tough to make it to 70 years! The Gores obviously had a lot of successes.” Still, some were asking, how could a marriage be troubled and appear so outwardly successful? And what about that kiss? Maybe, as the cynics said at the time, it was a smacker calculated to paint as broad a contrast as possible between the Gores and the Clintons, whose marriage was tainted in the public eye by the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Or maybe it tells us nothing at all. “It’s possible they could have been growing apart by then and just have been feel-
ing that exhilaration of the moment,” notes Coontz. “Or, they could have started growing apart after that.” Whatever made the Gores drift apart, the silver lining may be that at this stage in life, splits can often be much more amicable. “I’ve seen couples at 40 years who are quite gracious
with each other,” says Katz. “They realize they just don’t have that intimate partnership anymore — or maybe they realize they never had it. “But it can be a very respectful parting of ways. As people get older, their capacity for reflection grows.” Which means we may
never see the uncomfortable Oprah interview, as in the Edwards marriage, or the cringe-worthy public ramblings of a Gov. Mark Sanford. Which is a good thing. Because, as Katz says, “They’re going to be showing up at the same events for years.”
A travesty in Phoenix W
ASHINGTON — Over the years I have tried to avoid writing about two subjects, the trials and tribulations of the Catholic Church and the almost irrationally emotional issue of abortion. I see no percentage as a protestant in attacking the roots of another’s faith even though the actions of some of its clergy and those DAN THOMASSON overseeing the policies that caused them were almost inconceivable. As for abortion, I strongly believe every woman must make her own decision. But there is a time when an act becomes so grievously wrong that it can’t be ignored and demands that every caring, thinking person speak out forcefully. Unfortunately the incident I am referring to involves both issues — a scandalous and unreasoning church hierarchy on automatic pilot and the desperate need to terminate an 11week old pregnancy and the huge injustice that resulted to one of God’s more faithful servants. Late last year a mother of five was admitted to the St. Joseph Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix. She was near the end of her first trimester of pregnancy and was desperately ill, according to all accounts. The right side of her heart had stopped functioning. The diagnosis was unanimous from the examining medical team. She would not live if she did not terminate the pregnancy immediately and have heart surgery. But this was a Catholic hospital and that involved bringing the non-medical administration into the picture. Her illness was such that even transferring her to a non-Catholic hospital was out of the question. The lead administrator in this case was Sister Margaret McBride, a distinguished and highly regarded member of the Sisters of Mercy, who had spent her life in unblemished service to others. She was and is, by all reports, truly what her order calls itself. After praying over the matter in the truest sense of the expression, she could come to only one conclusion: The abortion must be performed. The mother would die otherwise, taking the fetus with her. She gave permission for the termination. The mother lived to return
to her children. Sister Margaret was backed up by Directive 47 that provides for just this kind of situation, allowing the ending of a pregnancy if the mother’s life clearly is at issue. Nevertheless, Bishop Thomas Olmsted of the Phoenix diocese severely disagreed with Sister Margaret’s decision and “automatically” excommunicated her for permitting an abortion in a Catholic hospital. It means, among other things, she cannot be given communion or take part in any of the other sacraments. In other words, she has been summarily kicked out of her church although she was permitted to stay on at the hospital in a reduced capacity. Olmsted’s act has not only brought general condemnation, it also has added to the increasingly tattered image of a church already under siege for its blatant disregard of a pattern of sexual abuse by priests. It has been noted that none of those accused of pedophilia and other transgressions in the priesthood had received the ultimate punishment meted out by this doctrinaire bishop to Sister Margaret. Furthermore, Olmsted has verified in no uncertain terms what many Catholic women have been asserting — that in the eyes of the church, even in this enlightened age, women are not treated with the same deference as men. The nuns who perform so diligently many of the church’s services are essentially second-class citizens. It is the reason that modern women steeped in the religion have decided against devoting their lives to the institution, leaving the church shorthanded in carrying out its mission. Every member of Sister Margaret’s faith and even those who aren’t should rise up in anger at this travesty, sign the petitions now being spread on the Internet to overturn this blind obedience to doctrine and carry the entire matter to Rome if all else fails. Obviously, the bishop by this step has brought into question his own fitness for the position. An institution so burdened by almost daily scandals can ill afford to ignore such a lack of judgment and callous disregard for fairness and compassion in those it elevates to its highest offices. • • • E-mail Dan K.

Memoirs to music at Literary Bookpost Literary Bookpost will host a range of local authors this week. First up, on Wednesday, beginning at 3:30 p.m., Salisbury native De An Simmons (this is a pseudonym) will visit for a signing of her just released memoir, “The Brewers Brew that Overflowed.” We derive from the book jacket and information Simmons, now a grandmother to Jeffrey, has provided the following about this anonymous author: “Loyally, each day, she tries to possess godly qualities such as love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control and fruitage of the spirit. Yet she is simply a Salisburian at heart, born in the city of Salisbury, raised in a strong middle-class family who endured it all — tragedy and joyful times. Many years of work at the library led her to pursue her desire to become an author and write about a subject that would definitely help someone. Although it took three years to write her story, she says, ‘Don’t ever give up on your pursuit, but make it real.’ Her children, now grown and abroad, leaves her with no regrets, ‘only grand memories and love for each one.’ Once the reader reads this story, he or she will fully understand what inherited mania really is! Enjoy her story.” Perhaps only by coming to this event on Wednesday at Literary Bookpost will the reader, or the curiosity seeker, find out just who this local author is.
Lyrics and a little music On Saturday, June 12, beginning at 3:30 p.m., Patrick Frank from Kingstree, S.C., comes to the Bookpost with music and lyrics. Frank has recently released a book, “On the Blue Ridge Line: A Collection of Country-FolkBlues Lyrics, with an Exploration of the C r e a t i v e Process,” which will be available for sale and signing. Frank will talk to those interested about the c r e a t i v e process and how it relates to music lyrics. At the present time, Frank hopes to be joined by a guitar accompanist to provide his audience with a bit of live music during his event. Frank is a poet-essayist-songwriter, teachercounselor, and advocate for the poor. He grew up in Florida, but spent 20 years in New England prior to becoming a South Carolinian. His work has been published in more than 70 journal articles and three anthologies. Frank and his wife Linda, a school psychologist and crafter, have three adult children between them.

SALISBURY POST
Join the 2010 Summer Reading Challenge It’s that time again. Summer — at least it feels like summer, so that means it’s time for the Summer Reading Challenge. Now in its seventh year, a few changes have been made. Barbara Setzer, who started the challenge and spearheaded it for the last six years, has stepped back and a committee has taken over the project. Rowan Public Library and Waterworks Visual Arts Center are are working together to plan and carry out the event. And lots of other people and businesses are DEIRDRE too. PARKER SMITH helping, A committee formed this year to choose a theme and books. Committee members included Rebecca Hyde, Betty Moore and Gretchen Beilfuss Witt from the library, Setzer, Deal Safrit of Literary Bookpost, Sarah Hall of Center for Faith and the Arts, and me, your lowly book reviewer. During discussion of recent books and events in the world, a theme quickly emerged — is humanity being swallowed by technology and the demands of a fast-paced world? We talked about how some things in modern society seemed to be dehumanizing and and how to reconnect. We talked recent books that addressed that and books that people may know or books that people may not have seen in the light of our theme. We tossed around “being human” and “human versus the machine” and “humanity,” until someone said, “the art of being human.” So that’s our theme, The Art of Being Human, and it was inspired by two non-fiction books. “Distracted: The Erosion of Attention and the Coming Dark Age,” is by Maggie Jackson, who writes the “Balancing Acts” column in the Boston Globe. Her book is about multitasking, “How did we get to the point where we keep one eye on our Blackberry and one eye on our spouse — in bed,” the blurb on the back of the book reads. “We can contact millions of people worldwide, so why is it hard to schedule a simple family dinner together? What can we do about it?” The next book that came up
was “Unsuspecting Souls: The Disappearance of the Human Being,” by Barry Sanders. His book examines “modern society’s indifference to the individual.” He maintains it started with the Industrial Revolution and the treatment of employees and continues today with societal networks that don’t actually require face-toface communication. Now, if those two sound tough, don’t worry. “Distracted” is a mere 268 pages if you skip the footnotes and index. “Unsuspecting Souls” is 338 pages, minus footnotes and index. But footnotes can lead you to other reading on the topics, so don’t completely ignore them. We picked two books of fiction, one recent, one a classic. “Frankenstein,” by Mary Shelley, is the classic. No, it isn’t just a horror story. It’s a look at the limits of human creativity and humanity itself. A bestseller when it came out in 1818, the book remains one of the most recognized pieces of English literature. This one is not big, either. Just 265 pages in the Penguin Classics version, with footnotes that follow.
Yes, the language is not what you hear on television. It has a grace and formality that takes you through the story at a measured pace. Finally, in looking for a recent novel, we chose “Olive Kitteridge,” by Elizabeth Strout. Now it’s a collection of stories, but all include Olive, a woman who is hard to love, or even like. But she clearly shows the many facets of being human, all too human, and her situations, though fictional, certainly represent choices we make every day. The other good thing about this year’s books: All are available in trade paperback, and “Frankenstein” is floating around in all sorts of editions. The best thing in these tough economic times is all will be available at Rowan Public Library. “The library is taking a stronger role in it,” said Melody Moxley. Always part of the challenge, it seemed natural for the library to take on the tough work of coordinating the program. Among the sponsors are those who have been involved from the beginning — Water-
works Visual Arts Center, Trinity Oaks, F&M Bank, Friends of Rowan Public Library, Catawba College, Literary Bookpost, Salisbury Post and Livingstone College. Moxley said funding remains stable, despite the economy, showing that the community still supports programs such as the challenge. On Oct. 12, a panel discussion will wrap up the summer’s reading, with all local members. • “Frankenstein” — Dr. David Schroeder, assistant professor of English at Catawba College. • “Olive Kitteridge” — Dr. Sheila Brownlow, professor of psychology at Catawba. • “Distracted” — Dr. Michael Bitzer, associate professor of political science and history at Catawba. • “Unsuspecting Souls” — Dr. André Resner, professor of homeletics and church worship of Hood Theological Seminary. • Moderator is Dr. Kurt Corriher, professor of acting, dramatic literature and film criticism at Catawba. The discussion will be Oct. 12 at 6 p.m., starting with a reception at Waterworks, courtesy of Trinity Oaks, followed by the panel in the F&M Trolley Barn. A play and film tie in to the theme. The library will show the 1931 version of “Frankenstein” this summer. The play, “Vesta,” will be presented by the St. Thomas Players of Center for Faith and the Arts. Rowan Regional Medical Center Hospice had approached the group about the play, and is sponsoring it. It deals with end-of-life issues. Duke’s Institute on Care at the End of Life offers the play to help promote understanding. It will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 14 and 15 and 2 p.m. Sept. 19 at Looking Glass Artist Collective Black Box Theater, 405 N. Lee St. Moxley says she likes the thought of people reading together and hopes it brings the community together. “I like having a dramatic production that ties in.” As always, if you read some of the books, all of the books or none of the books, you are welcome at the reception and discussion. Stay tuned to the book page, our website and the library’s website, www.rowanpubliclibrary.org.
Come to the library and browse the shelves for a while BY PAUL BIRKHEAD Rowan Public Library
For a book lover like me, there’s nothing quite like browsing the stacks at Rowan Public Library. I get the same feeling at bookstores, but it’s usually accompanied by feelings of guilt for spending an inordinate amount of time sampling and not buying. The library is tough to beat because borrowing books on a wide variety of subjects doesn’t cost me a penny. Just the other day, I found myself exploring the new non-fiction shelves at the library, and here are some books I just had to take home with me. “The Letter and the Scroll: What Archaeology Tells Us about the Bible” is a fascinating book published by the National Geographic Society. The book is divided into chapters which cover major eras in biblical history. While the book’s authors are careful to state that their purpose is neither to prove nor disprove the Bible, anyone interested in the Bible or ancient times is sure to be impressed by the content. As is typical in National Geographic publications, the book is filled with a generous number of beautiful maps and illustrations as well as stunning photographs of priceless artifacts and archaeological finds. In “Sweet Carolina: Favorite Desserts and Candies from the Old North State,” author Foy
Allen Edelman presents a collection of recipes she compiled from the kitchens of North Carolinians. Over the course of several years, Edelman traveled across her home state interviewing cooks from dozens of communities. Often, she was able to procure the recipe for their signature dessert. The result is a mouthwatering collection of recipes for pies, cakes, cookies, cobblers and even a sonker or two. If you decide to leave the confines of North Carolina and head, with kids in tow, to Washington, D.C., you might find this book interesting. The newest edition of “Washington, D.C. with Kids,” published by Fodor’s, is a comprehensive tour guide. This book does a good job of guiding visitors to must-see exhibits, monuments, and historic sites. Symbols in the book designate specific things to note, such as Helpful Hints, Smart Stuff, as well as Money-Saving and TimeSaving Tips. Items of interest to “Tweens and Teens” and even those of “All Ages” are also found for most attractions. The final book that caught my attention was “Letters to Jackie: Condolences from a Grieving Nation.” The cover of the book is graced by the smiling faces of John and Jackie Kennedy taken from a photograph made shortly after their arrival in Texas. Little did anyone know what horrors lay ahead for them and the
nation. The assassination of President Kennedy in Dallas unleashed a whirlwind of sympathy for his widow. In the course of seven weeks, Mrs. Kennedy received nearly a million condolence letters. A large collection of these letters was kept and has been stored for years, largely unexamined, in the archives of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library. In “Letters to Jackie, “historian Ellen Fitzpatrick selected 250 letters she felt compelling. In these, ordinary Americans sought to relay their sympathies to the late president’s wife and perhaps come to grips with their own grief. No matter what subjects might interest you, come to the Rowan Public Library, and I’m sure you’ll find many books that will catch your eye. Be forewarned, though, simply browsing the shelves of our newest acquisitions can result in walking out the door with a whole armload. Computer classes: Classes are free. Sessions are approximately 90 minutes. Class size is limited and on a first-come, firstserve basis. Dates and times at all locations are subject to change without notice. Headquarters — June 21, 7 p.m., Intermediate Excel; June 29, 1:30 p.m., Beginners Internet. East — Thursday, 1 p.m., Intermediate Excel.

Author tells life story in hope of showing others how to learn and thrive “Don’t Curse Your Wedding Bed Before You Say ‘I Do’ ” tells the life story of author Tara White of Salisbury. “This is my life story — this book is a true testament to God’s grace from someone who has experienced it personally,” she said. In the book, White makes the case that family dynamics, social and cultural influences, life events, painful childhood experiences and divine intervention all relate and can impact a marriage and relationships. White had a child out of wedlock,
and a rocky relationship. The couple married a few years later but White took their infant daughter and moved back in with her parents. It was during this separa- WHITE tion that both realized they needed each other. “The book will provide you with deep insight on how to survive the battering storms of life better than ever,” said White.
“Don’t Curse Your Wedding Bed Before You Say ‘I Do’” can be ordered for $15 plus $4 shipping through www.wpublishers. com or www.weddingbed.net White is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew I.D. Harris, wife of Tito White and mother of Tianca Diane White. She graduated from North Rowan High School and Livingstone College. She interned with the Department of Social Services. She has been a supported employment coordinator for vocational opportunities and a so-
cial worker for maternity care coordination and child service coordination at the Rowan County Health Department. White, her husband and sister started a residential treatment facility for children, Quality Care Developmental Services Inc. She received the Humanitarian Award from the W.G. “Bill” Hefner VA Medical Center for her work with families and children. She will sell and sign books Saturday, June 12, at Antioch Missionary Baptist Church, 602 Aunoth Ave., Granite Quarry, at 4 p.m.

SALISBURY POST
North Carolina lawmakers taking a fiscal gamble R
ALEIGH – North Carolina has more government than North Carolina taxpayers can or wish to finance. That’s the fundamental cause of the state’s continuing budget woes — not the mortgage crisis, or misbehavior on Wall Street, or the misdeeds of George W. Bush or Barack Obama. The economic downturn of 2008JOHN 09 may have HOOD triggered the state’s fiscal deficits. But the structural problem predated the recession. State and local government in North Carolina has grown rapidly during boom times. In the two decades leading up to the 2009-10 budget crisis, for example, state spending alone grew by 41 percent after adjusting for inflation and population growth. During economic busts, spending growth has slackened or even ceased for a time, but has never been significantly rolled back. Instead, governors and legislators have raised taxes to finance their past spending in-
creases. As a result, the size and scope of North Carolina government has ratcheted ever upward. Furthermore, contrary to the letter and intent of the state constitution, North Carolina policymakers have borrowed money without a public referendum to pay for budget items previously funded by current state revenue or general-obligation bonds. Their tactics have included certificates of participation (COPs), revenue bonds, tax-increment financing and tapping the federal government’s borrowing capacity through various stimulus and bailout funds. Both the Senate and House versions of the 2010-11 state budget would continue these practices. They would rely on some $3 billion in unwise and unsustainable fiscal policies, including federal bailouts and last year’s “temporary” tax increases. Legislative leaders may try to spin this budget as fiscally conservative, which does damage not just to North Carolina’s fiscal posture but also to the English language. There is nothing fiscally conservative about shoving a ramshackle budget through the General Assembly that assumes $3 billion worth of
new taxes or federal borrowing in 2011 to finance the level of spending set in 2010. There is nothing fiscally conservative about compounding such a mistake with $450 million in new COPs debt, as the Senate is in the process of approving. And there is nothing fiscally conservative about doing all this while ignoring North Carolina’s other fiscal time bombs, such as both short-term and long-term holes in the state’s health plan for current and retired teachers and state employees that will require the infusion of billions of additional tax dollars. Yes, you read that right. The state’s unfunded liability for retiree health benefits is nearly $30 billion. I know, I know — the official line is that 2010 isn’t the year to start addressing these problems. We’re in an election year and still slogging through the end of a deep recession. Wait until next year, we’re told. Only, we’ve been told that before. Repeatedly. The fabled “next year” for forging a sensible long-term fiscal plan for the state inevitably turns into a “this year” of shortterm thinking and political gamesmanship. Rather than simply play-
ing their usual roles in this drama, legislative leaders should have tried something new. Instead of passing a $20 billion-plus budget with a guaranteed $3 billion hole in 2011, they should have pulled actual spending down below $19 billion, reducing next year’s deficit and giving themselves more room to maneuver. Then, during the 2011 session, they should have set a goal of reducing state spending further, if necessary, to a level equal to the revenues projected from the tax rates in place before the 2009 tax hikes. Going into 2009, most North Carolinians thought their tax burden was high enough already. They were right. Instead, Raleigh raised sales and income taxes while Washington borrowed hundreds of millions of additional dollars to finance North Carolina’s budget — money that North Carolinians will have to pay back eventually with higher federal taxes. Instead of pursuing true fiscal conservatism, the Democratic majority in the General Assembly has chosen to stick with their original fiscal mistakes. Rely on more taxes and more borrowing. Keep increasing total state spending. Ignore the
The governor’s transportation plan News & Record of Greensboro ov. Bev Perdue’s administration keeps working on new ideas to meet state transportation needs. The latest proposal calls for creating a Mobility Fund, a pool of money to pay for big maintenance projects — such as replacing the Yadkin River bridges on I-85 — and even city road work. It would tap some of the revenue currently diverted from the state’s Highway Trust Fund to the General Fund and raise some taxes, including the motor vehicle
G
registration fee. This is a poor economic environment for raising taxes, although even fiscal conservatives must acknowledge the long-term problem with relying so heavily on the motor-fuels tax for transportation needs. People keep driving more fuelefficient vehicles and paying less tax, while highway construction and maintenance costs are not decreasing. The bigger question, though, is why create a Mobility Fund when the state already has a Highway Trust Fund? The easy answer is
that the Highway Trust Fund isn’t adequately meeting the state’s transportation needs, but that should be addressed by correcting its problems, not coming up with a new entity. It would be better to use the Highway Trust Fund as the state’s major transportation funding mechanism but give the Board of Transportation authority to target funds to the most urgent projects, regardless of location. The legislature should put politics aside to make that happen — an idea travelers could support.
Introducing
state’s many unfunded liabilities. And hope North Carolina taxpayers either don’t notice or don’t care.
Sounds like a risky gamble to me. • • • John Hood is president of the John Locke Foundation.

The opposite of bullying: Girl to girl mentoring
T
Charlotte artist Carmella Jarvi’s swimming-themed paintings are part of the summer exhibition at Waterworks Visual Arts Center.
Being there
T
Waterworks exhibit features local artists
he upcoming exhibits at Waterworks Visual Arts Center will highlight the work of several local artists, including
Ben Martin and Rick Sorensen. An opening reception, free and open to the public, will be held from 6-8 p.m. Friday, June 11. The exhibits will continue through Aug. 28. The participating artists take a variety of approaches to the idea of “Being There,” the show’s theme. The art explores humans living in a place and time — and the singular moments that define human experience. • • • Carmella Jarvi’s evocative paintings and drawings of women swimming are on display in the Stanback Gallery hall. In her new body of work, Jarvi worked from photographs shot underwater, with her goal being for the viewer to feel the water in these paintings that are both reflective and dynamic. Jarvi is a full-time artist living in Charlotte. She graduated in 1992 from UNC-Charlotte with degrees in visual arts and philosophy. She is a summer affiliate artist at the McColl Center of Visual Art. ••• The theme “Being There” appropriately describes Ben Martin’s career as a photographer. Martin was Time magazine’s first staff photographer, and his 33 years as a photojournalist gave him a unique opportunity to see history unfolding. His photographs have captured the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Kennedy Funerals, presidential inaugurations. An artist’s eye and a knack for being in the right place at the right time have made him a master of the defining moment. A collection of his photographs of artists — from performing to visual — will be on display in the Young People’s Gallery. The exhibit is called “A Few People, Places and Things I’ve Seen.” This collection includes private and intimate moments in the lives of artists like Leonard Bernstein, Duke Ellington, Roy Lichtenstein, Jasper Johns, Carl Van Vechten, Nicholas Monsarrat and Craig Claiborne. Martin, retired to his childhood home in Salisbury, continues his work as a freelance photojournalist and commercial and advertising photographer. He lectures on photojournalism at colleges, universities, and seminars in the United States and Great Britain.
Wood sculptures by Rick Sorensen will be on display. • • • Rick Sorensen discovered his passion for art after retiring from a long career as a medical investigator. Sorensen, who carves pieces of driftwood he finds near his home on High Rock Lake, sees his wood sculptures as instants of awakening. After studying the art of wood sculpting, he taught himself some less-than-conventional techniques. He describes his work as a fusion of classical sculpture and the Carolina heritage arts of wood spirit carving. He strives to release the the essential nature of the wood in his work. He believes the art that emerges from within a piece of slimy, weathered wood is an affirmation of the beauty within each of us. • • • Tennessee artist John Wesley Simms Jr. paints powerful portraits of African Americans. “Visual artists knowingly or unknowingly chronicle their influences,” Simms says. “Where they’ve been, what they’ve seen, their joys and hurts exposed to the viewer for their enjoyment or criticism..” Simms was born in a small parsonage adjoining the church where his father served as pastor in Indiana. His artistic talents were evident at a very early age. However, his interest was almost extinguished by one practical-minded yet racially insensitive teacher who strongly encouraged him to “take up a trade” rather than pursue his love of art. After returning from a three-year stint in the U.S. Army that included a tour of duty in Vietnam, his self-taught art skills attracted Indiana artist Joseph Holiday, who mentored Simms. His work was first exhibited at the 1972 Indiana Black Expo. While still pursuing a 30-year career with General Motors, Simms graduated in 1993 with a bachelor of fine arts from the College of Creative Studies, Detroit, Mich. He retired from GM in 1999.

Gallery hours at Waterworks Visual Arts Center are from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday; Thursdays from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a..-3 p.m. Admission is free. Donations are accepted.
In addition to the professional exhibitions, Waterworks will feature a selection of work in a solo exhibition from this year’s Dare to Imagine Award winner, Michelle Casper. Casper’s portfolio was one of six senior submissions by art specialists from the Rowan-Salisbury high schools. Now in its seventh year, the Dare to Imagine Award is given in recognition of the importance of art in the life of our community and to a graduating senior whose work most exemplifies the creative potential of the human spirit, heart, and hand. This $1,000 award is made possible by a gift from Susan and Edward Norvell. Casper is a student of Dr. Mark Riley, Rowan Salisbury Schools’ Fine Arts Ben Martin’s photo of singer James Brown Academy chair and
is part of ‘Being There.’
he American Girl movies are a wonderful series of films about the lives of American girls from Revolutionary Days to the present. One is “Chrissa Stands Strong.” Chrissa is a Midwestern girl who moves to a SUSAN new town and JENSEN is subjected to the kind of brutal bullying that is unfortunately very common these days, particularly among girls. The mean girl has low self esteem (like all bullies) while nicer girls partake in the mean behavior because they are afraid of getting on the wrong side of the bully. One girl abandons the bully’s “team” to tell the truth about what has been happening, thus beginning the process of stopping the bully in her tracks. The parents and school authorities come together to get the truth out in the open and Chrissa’s class starts a project designed to prevent future such harassment. What is missing from this positive movie is something we are so lucky to have at Salisbury Academy: a network of older girls who mentor younger girls with an example of kindness, fair play and support. With so many stories of terrible bullying in the media, youngsters even committing suicide due to relentless bullying, it is nice to report about the very opposite behavior going on in this community. Teachers cannot be everywhere. When slightly older kids voluntarily step in to stop bad playground behavior, their intervention carries a big emotional punch and also spares the victim from being in the position of tattletale. The girls being mentored then turn around and provide the same kind of support to their younger peers. When my daughter, Jessica, started kindergarten she was lucky enough to meet a remarkable second grader named Katie White. Katie took Jessica under her wing and advised her, ever so gently,when she was behaving suboptimally, encouraged her when she did her best and counseled her when someone was mean to just walk away and pray for that girl, who could not be in a very happy place. Katie spends her free time singing to nursing home patients, doing wonderful church work and honoring her commitments. Once, when we invited Katie to a play she really wanted to attend, she chose instead to honor her commitment to her soccer team to play in an important game. What a wonderful example to our child. Juliana Anderson, a classmate of Katie’s, has noticed when Jessica felt scared and alone at a party and sat next to her. She has also stepped in when Jessica was upset on the playground and recently cleaned up Jessica and calmed her down after her entire food tray spilled all over her. She truly has a heart of gold. When a slightly older peer models caring behavior, it has a very big impact on the psyche of a young girl. Girls then learn to be supportive of each other. Alex Warren, a seventh grader, has taken a great interest in the younger girls and will sit with them during recess and give them a lot of

Pops at the Post a treat on a lovely night BY HUGH FISHER

t’s not every day you can sit in your backyard and listen to an orchestra. Not only does the Post love to hold a concert in our backyard, it’s nothing to have a couple thousand of our closest friends over to enjoy the party. The Salisbury Symphony’s sixth annual Pops at the Post concert downtown drew a crowd of music fans and families Saturday night to hear the music begin at sunset.
The show featured an all-American sing-along, themes from popular TV shows and favorite Disney movie songs as part of a family-friendly lineup. Conductor David Hagy welcomed the audience: “If you have never been to a Salisbury Symphony concert before, we do not usually wear shorts.” Although afternoon rain showers left the front-tier seats wet, volunteers took care of that problem.

Salisbury officials made another trip to Raleigh last week to fight for the city’s right to provide broadband Internet service and promote the importance for any North Carolina municipality to be able to do the same thing. Mayor Susan Kluttz, Assistant to the City Manager Doug Paris, Access 16 Manager Jason Parks and Broadband Services Director Mike Crowell made a trip Wednesday to Raleigh for a final review of Senate Bill 1209 by the Senate Finance Committee. With some changes, the committee adopted the bill and it is now scheduled to go to the Senate for a final reading Monday. The House of Representatives will PARIS take it up after that. “For three years we’ve been fighting bills in Raleigh that have been run by the Cable Association,” Paris said. In 2009, a proposed bill that would keep municipalities from competing with cable companies on broadband services was sent for study by Senate subcommittees. The first part of the bill that was adopted Wednesday is to continue the 2009 study of communication systems owned and operated by local governments. “We’re confident if they take the time to study

KANNAPOLIS — A collaboration at the N.C. Research Campus could help determine whether organically grown food is more nutritious than food grown by conventional methods. Dole Food’s director at the Research Campus wants to test vegetables grown at the Cabarrus County training farm to learn more about the nutrition content of local, organic food. “The implication of that is far-reaching,” said Debbie Bost, Cabarrus County Cooperative Extension director. While farmers suspect that locally grown, organic fruits and vegetables pack a bigger nutritional punch, they have little scientific evidence, Bost said. Analyzing their produce using state-of-the-art instruments at the Research Campus will provide empirical data, she said. Farmers then could tell consumers that their food is more nutritious.

it, they’ll realize how important it is to our state,� Paris said. The second part of the bill, Paris said, directs the Local Government Commission to be more selective in its approval of municipal broadband debt during the study period. A third section of the bill exempts any city or town already in the broadband business. Any community that has completed a feasibility study is also exempt, as is any city that’s a likely possibility for Google’s fiber project. During the meeting Wednesday, no one was allowed to speak, but Sal-

“They can use those claims, and it will create a different niche for our farmers than anyplace else and help them to obtain top price for their product,� Bost said. Dr. Nick Gillitt, director for the new Dole Nu- BOST trition Research Laboratory in Kannapolis, said he plans to measure nutrients in organic produce grown at the Elma C. Lomax Incubator Farm, a county-owned project that trains 16 people to become farmers. “The information we learn could help agronomists in our company,� Gillitt said. While he GILLIT came up with the idea as a way to help local farmers, Gillitt said Dole Food will want to know whether organic farming changes the nutrition content of fruits and vegetables. “If an organic farming technique is used that dramatically increases the nutrient levels, that is something Dole would definitely take notice of,� he said. In exchange, farmers would learn whether their organically grown vegetables are nutritionally superior to those grown conventionally.

isbury officials listened closely to the proceedings. During discussion, several senators expressed their concern with broadband access for small communities. “It is very important to keep an open playing field, to ensure robust competition, upgrades and competitive entry into this area, and really bring access to everybody,� said Sen. Joe Sam Queen, a Democrat. “We need to be mindful that North Carolina protects the interests of its citizens in this incredibly important infrastructure for the future. “We need to be very mindful of slowing down the rollout, or putting up impediments to competition.� Sen. William R. Purcell asked fellow Democratic Sen. David W. Hoyle, who introduced the bill,
The collaboration between Dole and Cabarrus County is still evolving. County Manager John Day, who has criticized some aspects of the Research Campus, supports the idea. Nutritional analysis at the Research Campus would give the county’s incubator farm “some way of actually measuring our success,� said Day, who with Bost started the training program. Farmers could market their produce as higher in certain nutrients, he said. Day is working with Lynne Scott Safrit, president of campus developer Castle & Cooke, to iron out the details. At least one farmer at the incubator farm says privately that he will not participate in the project because of Dole Food’s relationship with Monsanto Co. Monsanto, a flagship tenant at the Research Campus, is the world’s leading producer of genetically modified seed and the herbicide Roundup, both abhorrent to most organic farmers. Others have expressed concern about Monsanto’s presence at the Research Campus, although site leader Dr. Susan MacIsaac said Monsanto will not modify plant DNA in the company’s 9,000-square-foot Kannapolis lab, expected to open this fall. Instead, Monsanto will use traditional plant breeding techniques to develop tastier, healthier vegetables. While Dole Food and Monsanto have a five-year agreement to study vegetables, the companies do not have an official collaboration at the Research Campus, Gillitt said, but it’s a possibility. Both companies currently have one scientist in Kannapolis. Monsanto plans to have 10 employees, and Gillitt said he will hire two more researchers this month. Dole’s corporate relationship with Monsanto shouldn’t be a deal-breaker for area or-
where the small communities stood. “What assurance do we have that the big companies will not overlook the small, less profitable markets, our small communities,� he asked. Hoyle replied: “We’re not going to get broadband to everybody in the state anytime soon.� Purcell said everyone should have access to broadband. “I hope that in the end we do keep KLUTTZ small communities in mind because they need the broadband as much as the larger cities do,� he said. Kluttz agrees with that. “As vice chair of the North Car-
ganic farmers, said Aaron Newton, the new Cabarrus County local food system project coordinator. “To dismiss out of hand any collaboration with them would be over-generalizing,� said NEWTON Newton, who farms at the incubator farm. “Not to say that I agree with all the practices of Monsanto, but I don’t have to to be able to enter into a relationship with Dole Foods if it’s beneficial to us.� The county should “carefully examine� what Dole is offering and what the company expects in return, Newton said. But at first glance, he favors the partnership. “We will get access to equipment that we could never afford,� he said. If scientific analysis shows that organic, sustainable farming methods produce better tasting, more nutritious food, “it gives us more legitimacy,� Newton said.

time, we have a state government trying to put restrictions on it. I think our state should be incentivizing this.� Despite Hoyle’s comments, Kluttz said she was happy with the changes to the bill. “It’s really good news to us,� she said. “I am very grateful to our local delegation, Rep. Lorene Coates and Sen. Andrew Brock. They have been supportive of us throughout this and they understand why it’s important to us.� Kluttz said she and other Salisbury officials will be in Raleigh when the bill goes to the House of Representatives. “We don’t have a choice and we will continue to monitor this,� she said. “Anytime it is mentioned, I plan to be there.�
“You need to know where you started from,� he said. Gillitt said his 5,000square-foot lab at the Research Campus was delayed because his equipment requires 230 volts of electricity but the building was wired for only 208 volts. It was a problem in several locations across the campus, he said. Transformers have been installed and the Dole lab should be up and running this month, Gillitt said. The recession also delayed the project, he said. “Dole is extremely happy to finally have a scientific presence on campus,� he said.
“Our job is to provide as much useful information to Dole as possible and endear ourselves to the local community by helping out a bit where we can.�

Farmers have told Day and Bost that they trust the leaders “not to collaborate with someone that will compromise our values,� Newton said. Gillitt, who moved to Kannapolis in March, said he’d like to help settle the debate between organic and conventional farming. He also needs samples to validate the highly sensitive equipment in his lab. “I can’t think of better samples other than locally grown produce,� he said. He will compare nutrient levels in produce from the incubator farm against the U.S. Department of Agriculture database to determine if local, organic food is healthier, Gillitt said. He could test food at different stages of farming to help determine which techniques produce the best results, he said. Gillitt’s primary responsibility at the Research Campus is to test the amount of every nutrient in every Dole product at the consumer level, he said. Comparing those results with just-picked local organic produce would help, he said.

Catawba’s Center for Environment hosts sustainability workshop BY SHELLEY SMITH
ssmith@salisburypost.com
Catawba College’s Center for the Environment will host Darcy Hitchcock, who will give a daylong workshop Wednesday, titled, “Sustainability: Improving Your Triple Bottom Line.” Hitchcock is author of “The Business Guide to Sustainability,” host of the Sus-
tainable Today television show and founder of the International Society of Sustainability Professionals. According to Dr. John Wear, founding director of the Center for the Environment, Hitchcock travels across the nation teaching sustainability business techniques. “It’s a great opportunity,” Wear said. “The workshop,
although it’s an introduction to sustainability and how to develop a sustainability program in a business or organization, is going to cover things I think are basics that people really need to understand. “It’s a very important piece of information that folks could really benefit from. It would be beneficial to any variety of people in
business, government or just an individual who would like to see their business make that shift.” The workshop begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends around 5 p.m. The $35 registration fee includes lunch. “If anyone had taken this workshop at the University of Oregon, Portland, it would cost them around $250,” Wear said. “We worked with
Robert Van Geons and others and found some funders that could really help us with it and bring the cost down. “It’s a minimal cost in comparison to what it would cost to take it elsewhere.” Van Geons, executive director of the SalisburyRowan Economic Development Commission, hopes many Rowan residents take advantage of the workshop.
“The Center for the Environment has been working with companies and communities on sustainable business practices for years,” he said. “There are increased profits and new customers that can be generated for existing businesses by implementing what Hitchcock talks about.”

Red-tailed hawk rescued at wastewater treatment plant
A
bird as majestic as a hawk should have a better name than “Stinky.” But that’s what I’m going to call the redtailed hawk rescued 10 days ago from an aeration basin at the Town Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. Getting stuck in goop — imagine the oil-soaked pelicans off the Gulf Coast but add in a smell factor — is not a good thing for a predatory bird or the person sent in to rescue it. In this case, that would be Mike Frick, who fellow employees have dubbed “The Birdman of Town Creek.” MARK When other guys at the WINEKA treatment plant first saw the bird struggling at the bottom of the aeration basin May 27, they thought it was an eagle — until Frick arrived on the scene, determined it was a hawk and decided to go after it. He put on a set of waders, leather welding gloves and a face shield. He also had to be outfitted in a harness with ropes attached to be OSHA compliant. To reach the bird, Frick eased down a long concrete slope. The 3.5 million-gallon basin is 18 to 20 feet deep, but it is being used for wet-weather events now, so Frick only had to wade through about 3 feet of black liquid. I wanted to call the stuff sludge. Salisbury-Rowan Utilities Director Jim Behmer said it was really aerated solids that are still part of the treatment process. Sludge is solid stuff left over after the treatment process that often is applied to fields as fertilizer. Well, don’t the “aerated solids” still smell awful, I asked. Behmer said I should know by now that nothing smells bad at the city’s waste treatment plants. I protested that if it wasn’t a sludge pond and it wasn’t smelly, he was ruining a good

The Rowan County Board of Commissioners is inviting the public to comment on the budget for fiscal year 2010-11 at 6 p.m. Monday. The public hearing will follow the board’s regular meeting at 4 p.m. Monday on the second floor of the Cohen Administration Building, 130 W. Innes St. One of the items on Monday’s agenda was prompted by a conditional use permit application by Davidson County Broadcasting for the construction of a 1,200-foot broadcast tower. According to an e-mail sent to commissioners by planning and development director Ed Muire, Gig Hilton, president of the broadcasting company, submitted the application Wednesday. The tower would be located in Mount Ulla, on property owned by Richard L. and Dorcas Parker. In November 2006, commissioners voted to deny the Parkers a permit for a 1,350-foot broadcast tower on the property to serve Davidson County Broadcasting. Hilton appealed the county’s decision. In September 2007, a three-judge panel of the N.C. Court of Appeals upheld the denial, and so did the N.C. Supreme Court. Earlier this year, the Parkers asked the town of Mooresville to annex 18 acres of their 200-acre farm, but the request was denied on March 1. Before the town made its decision, Rowan County Commissioners had considered passing a resolution opposing the annexation. Commissioners plan to have a discussion during Monday’s regular meeting regarding legal representation for the county on the renewed issue.

Dole honored by National World War II Museum NEW ORLEANS — Highlighting the accomplishments of the brave women who served in World War II, Elizabeth Dole accepted the 2010 Silver Service Medallion from the National World War II Museum in New Orleans, Saturday on the eve of the 66th anniversary of D-Day. This year’s award ceremony honored women who have exhibited extraordinary service and undying loyalty to their country during WWII and beyond. DOLE Elizabeth Dole’s career in public service has spanned nearly 50 years. She has held high-level positions in the administrations of Presidents Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, including serving as Secretary of Transportation and Secretary of Labor. She was also President of the American Red Cross and a U.S. senator representing North Carolina. She is married to former Senate Majority Leader and 1996 Republican Presidential nominee Bob Dole, who is a veteran of WWII. Bob Dole was also the guiding force behind the planning and construction of the WWII Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The Silver Service Medallion is awarded by the museum to those “whose careers selflessly reflect the values and spirit of those who served our country during the World War II years and who inspire others through their own acts of courage, sacrifice, initiative and generosity.” Past recipients include Henry Kissinger, George McGovern and Colin Powell. “Elizabeth Dole is one of the most respected and accomplished public servants of our time. She is also a tireless advocate for the concerns of World War II veterans. For these reasons, and many more, she is a very worthy recipient of the Museum's Silver Service Award,” said Gordon H. “Nick” Mueller, president and CEO of The National World War II Museum.

The Rowan County Animal Shelter has several animals waiting to be adopted and taken to a good home. Kittens: Three beautiful smoke-colored kittens, all with bright golden eyes. What more could you ask for? These three are just a small sample of the many different colors of kittens the shelter has available for adoption. Come by and pick the one that suits you best. Dog: You’ve heard the old expression, “a face only a mother could love,” well, this beefy English bulldog mix sure lives up to those standards. This fellow came to the shelter as a stray, and his outward appearance in no way reflects his charming, affectionate personality. All he needs is a little TLC and the right person to shower with wet doggie kisses. From rescued animals to those abandoned by owners who couldn’t afford them, and all others in between, the Animal Shelter has them all. Adoption fees are $70, a down payment for spay/neuter costs. The voucher can be used at any veterinarian’s office. Before adopting any animal, a person must agree to take the pet to a veterinarian for an exam and spaying/neu-

In accepting the award, Elizabeth Dole, whose brother was also a WWII veteran, expressed her “gratitude for the countless individuals, who, through courage beyond measure and sacrifice beyond imagining, ensured freedom’s survival in World War II.” Dole also referenced a set of two letters written by Dwight Eisenhower exactly 66 years ago Saturday-on June 5, 1944 — the night before the DDay invasion that would eventually lead to the victory in Europe. One was to be released if the invasion succeeded, the other if it failed. Dole quoted from the letter, which was not released. “If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt, it is mine and mine alone,” Dole read. “That, ladies and gentlemen, is leadership,” she added, going on to praise the bravery, dedication and sacrifices of the women and men who fought and won the war.

Another item for discussion at the regular meeting is a survey of Rowan and Cabarrus county lines. The resolution up for approval states that “some uncertainty exists or has existed as to the precise location of the boundary, at certain places, between Rowan and Cabarrus counties.” According to the resolutions, the Geographic Information System (GIS) departments of the two counties do not agree on a consistent county line. This has caused difficulties in determining the zoning and taxing jurisdictions for the disputed areas. If the resolution is approved, the board will “respectfully request the assistance of the N.C. Geodetic Survey Division to survey, mark or otherwise map the common boundary line between Rowan and Cabarrus counties.” At the regular meeting, commissioners also plan to: • Hold a public hearing about a change of address for

Van Geons said companies as large as Volvo and Walmart practice sustainability. “I’m a private sector guy, pro business, but if you can be more profitable and more marketable and have less of an impact on the environment, it’s a real winwin.” HITCHCOCK The same workshop is also being held Thursday at the N.C. Research Campus in the Old Cabarrus Bank Building. “It’s great to have one of these events at the Center for the Environment at the Research Campus,” Van Geons said. Wear agrees. “I think that more and more our center has begun working in the Kannapolis area,” he said. “We knew this would be a good time not just to simply offer the workshop at the Center for Environment, but to take it to the Research Campus.
“We would like to see many people from Rowan and Cabarrus take advantage of this.” Sponsors for the event include Duke Energy, Rowan Works, Roush Fenway Racing, Cabarrus Economic Development, Piedmont Natural Gas, CESI, N.C.

Renowned historian, author and educator Dr. Stephen Ambrose founded The National World War II Museum Foundation in New Orleans in 1991. Opened on June 6, 2000, it is the only museum in the United States that addresses all of the amphibious invasions or “D-Days” of World War II, honoring the more than 16 million Americans who took part in this global conflict. The National World War II Museum opened its doors on the 56th anniversary of the Normandy invasion that liberated Europe. It is located in New Orleans because it was here that Andrew Higgins built the landing craft used in the amphibious invasions; the landing craft that President Dwight D. Eisenhower believed won the war for the Allies. The Board of Trustees includes former California Gov. Pete Wilson, MSNBC analyst and former Medal of Honor winner Col. Jack H. Jacobs, USA (Ret.), New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees and former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling.

High school juniors will head to Catawba for Tar Heel Girls State Tina Brown, music director; and Fran Simpson, speaker. “The citizens have a wonderful opportunity during the week to become involved and learn the rules of civic engagement,� Hirst said. “These young women will be our leaders soon, and they will gain valuable experiences in leadership that will help shape and guide them as they become community, state and national leaders in the following years.� The Honorable Judge Beth Dixon will swear in the girls as Girls State citizens on the evening of Sunday, June 13. Guest speakers scheduled for the 2010 Tar Heel Girls State session, all of whom will speak in Keppel Auditorium of the Robertson College-Community Center, include Walter Dalton, N.C. Lt. Governor; Robin Pendergraft, Director of the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation; Janet Ward Black, Attorney at Law; Dr. Ricci Hellman of Family Services of Davidson County; and Detoria
Rolle, 2009 Tar Heel Girls State Governor. Although the Girls State Program is held in every state in the nation, North Carolina is the only state in the country to have had Girls State for 71 consecutive years, according to Hirst. The program is an Americanism project of the American Legion Auxiliary and an American Legion Auxiliary Unit approves all applications and nominates girls for the program. Hirst reiterated that moving the program to Catawba College nine years ago helped strengthened the nationally recognized program thanks in part to the strong support from the local community. Local girls from Rowan and Cabarrus counties will be among the participants. American Legion Auxiliary Units in Salisbury, Faith and Landis will sponsor Rowan County students. From Cabarrus County, students are sponsored by American Legion Auxiliary Units in Concord,
Tribe scraps contract with gambling consultant
BRIEFS Power company seeks to lower rates RALEIGH (AP) — A power company has asked state utility regulators for permission to lower rates for customers in North Carolina. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Saturday that Progress Energy wants to cut rates about 4 percent. That means the typical residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours would pay about $102 a month for electricity — a savings about of $4. The Raleigh-based company said the rate cut is in response to lower costs of coal to fuel its generating plants. It would be the second rate cut as a result of lower fuel costs and follows five years of rate increases because of higher costs. If approved, the new rates would take effect Dec. 1. Progress Energy serves about 3.1 million customers in the Carolinas and Florida.
Lewin contract earlier this year. “It’s a relief,� Locklear said of the decision to cancel the contract. “I guess I had always considered the relationship with a gaming consultant to be very unfortunate and not helpful for our recognition bill. “This should help restore the tribe’s integrity and credibility, because I think that’s what we lost by this association.� After at least 12 congressional studies and countless bills over the past 120 years, the Lumbee are as close as they’ve ever been to winning the federal status that has eluded them since the 1880s, when North Carolina recognized the tribe. The recognition bill has passed the House of Repre-
sentatives and a key Senate committee, and for the first time ever the president, the Bureau of Indian Affairs and both North Carolina senators all support recognition. The bill would send at least $108 million a year in federal dollars to the tribe, mostly in health care funding, according to a Congressional Bud-
get Office estimate. Most of the tribe’s 55,000 members live in Robeson, Hoke, Scotland and Cumberland counties. The tribe is worth more than $50 million and has 80 permanent workers, most of them located in a complex in Pembroke that opened in December as the tribe’s headquarters..

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that the amphitheater opened Friday with a free open-house that featured seven local acts. The first ticketed show is the Backstreet Boys who will play Sunday. Besides live music acts, the amphitheater also will host theater productions, a bluegrass festival and possibly a ballet this year.

PEMBROKE (AP) — A North Carolina Indian tribe said it has ended its contract with a Nevada gambling consultant in the tribe’s effort to be officially recognized by Congress. On Friday, the Lumbee tribe and officials from Lewin International terminated the contract that gave the Las Vegas company the authority to handle the tribe’s push for federal recognition, The Fayetteville Observer reported. In the contract, the tribe had agreed to give Lewin a stake in future Lumbee economic ventures, including gambling. But the Lumbee have long said they don’t want the right to have gambling as part of their federal recognition. That created friction both within and outside the tribe as the past 20 years has seen an increase in blocking newly recognized tribes from making money off gambling. “We all know that perception is reality up there in Washington,� tribal chairman Purnell Swett said in the news release announcing that the deal was off. “Anything that could take away from our recognition work — whether real or imagined — has to be dealt with.� Maryland-based attorney Arlinda Locklear had worked for 20 years to help the Lumbee get federal recognition until she was replaced by the

Each citizen is also a member of a fictitious political party that will develop a party platform, engineer campaigns for party candidates and elect a slate of officers to govern Tar Heel Girls State. Parliamentary procedure is used to conduct all meetings. The session will be run by Auxiliary members from across the state who volunteer their time. Two of these Auxiliary members, Chair of the Commission Kaye Brown Hirst of Salisbury and Program Director Julie Cooper Head of Valdese, will be participating for their 23rd year with the program.

The 71st consecutive year of Tar Heel Girls State will be held June 13-19. This the ninth year Catawba College will host the weeklong session. Several hundred high school juniors who are academically in the top third of their class will participate in the annual event, sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary, Department of North Carolina. The Girls State program is a weeklong practical study of the structure and operation of North Carolina State Government. In a non-partisan atmosphere, participants take a “hands-on� approach to learning how state and local governments function. Citizens, as the participants are known, develop an understanding of the responsibilities of citizenship by creating and living under their own mock government. During the week, citizens are grouped into cities as they organize their own local gov-

“The Lion King,” among others. The show built to its finale with John Philip Sousa’s “Washington Post March,” once more playfully renamed the “Salisbury Post March,” and “The Stars and Stripes Forever.” “I love the patriotic songs,” Cindy Alligood said. “We always try to make this show.” As part of the encore, the symphony performed a rare treat, Danny Elfman’s theme from “The Simpsons.” Hagy said it can be difficult to get permission to include such TV tunes in performances. But, he said, the show was all about making families happy. It’s all part of a tradition that’s sure to be entertaining our Rowan County neighbors for years to come.

The salute to America included songs for the audience to sing along, including “Yankee Doodle,” “God Bless America” and “You’re a Grand Old Flag.” The West Rowan High School JROTC color guard presented the flags before “The Star-Spangled Banner” was played. Nearby, a UH-60 “Blackhawk” helicopter from C Company, 1/131 Aviation Battalion of the North Carolina National Guard in Salisbury was on display. The tailgate party started early Saturday in the nearby parking lots. The sheer numbers of tailgaters and the variety of food on the tables showed how intricate the Pops at the Post tradition is becoming. Jessica and Mark Koontz of Salisbury and their five daughters were part of one tailgating group that totaled 42 children and adults. The little ones swarmed around a table with snacks as the smell from grills and nearby concession trailers wafted over. “It’s just a neat thing that Salisbury has so much for families,” Koontz said. “You can get out, enjoy your company and know your kids are safe.” Chris and Paula Mead of Salisbury joined their friends Ryan and Amber

No sitting around in this classroom IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (AP) — In a handful of classrooms nationwide, students are learning to think on their feet. Sixth graders at a small private school in southern Idaho stand while crunching math problems. They lean over waist-tall work stations to compare answers with classmates. And whenever they feel the need to sit, they prop themselves up onto tall stools and slip their sneakers into swinging footrests, rocking them back and forth. “It’s not normal for students, or even necessarily for adults, to sit still for long periods of time,” their teacher Jim Oloff said. In states such as Idaho, Minnesota and Wisconsin, some teachers have replaced the standard classroom desk with height-adjustable work stations, which they hope will offer notorious fidgeters some relief for their antsy tendencies. The Hope Lutheran School in southeastern Idaho has taken the trend a step further. During math, 11-year-old Dylan Trowbridge stood for the most of the lesson. His classmate, 12-year-old Jane Hula, sat with one leg swinging her footrest back and forth. Up front, 11-year-old Anya Brown was perched on her stool. “They give you more room so I don’t get cramped in one place,” Brown said. Twice a month, Oloff’s
sixth graders step on a scale and a researcher from a federal laboratory records their weight and height. The kids clip pedometers onto their belts each day when class starts and record how many steps they’ve taken before they leave, information that can be used to determine how active they are and how many calories they’ve burned. The Idaho National Laboratory has been collecting data since January and while the students think they’re part of a fitness study, Oloff has also been monitoring their attention and concentration skills, along with how well they interact. The lab is collaborating with the Mayo Clinic on the study, which will compare students before and after the stand-up desks were installed. The lab plans to release the findings in October. Researchers for years have studied the so-called “stand-up” desks with adults, who in some cases work at stations fitted over standard treadmills, but the data being collected from Idaho students could provide information on how this works in the classroom, said Dr. James Levine, an obesity researcher at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. Could the stand-up desks play a role in the fight against childhood obesity? “It’s the first, real-world, large-scale study of what will be the future of education,” said Levine.

RALEIGH (AP) — As campers, boaters and hikers fan out across the state this summer, the N.C. Division of Parks and Recreation has fewer resources to serve them. Litter won’t always be picked up as quickly as park superintendents would like. Maintenance projects are being deferred, and fewer seasonal workers are being hired. Visitors to Jordan Lake in Chatham County may pull up to an entrance station and hand their fees to a uniformed ranger with a sidearm, rather than a college student working toward a natural resources degree. As legislators work to close an $800 million revenue shortfall by haggling over cuts to education and Medicaid, state parks might seem like an afterthought. But outdoors enthusiasts made a record 14.2 million visits to state parks in 2009, a 13 percent increase over the previous year. If the weather holds, park officials expect similar crowds this year. In welcoming them, the park system is stretching every dollar. The system, which includes 34 state parks, four state recreation areas and a system of natural areas, usually hires about 700 seasonal employees to help with routine tasks during the busy summer months. This year, there will be fewer than 400. And, among full-time staff, there are nearly 70 vacant positions. Like all state agencies, the parks system has to make choices during tough economic times, state parks director Lewis Ledford said. “You try to be as lean and as efficient as you can.” People are beginning to notice. Matthew Clay of Garner had to depend on ingenuity while camping at Lake Jordan recently. The fire ring and grate at his family’s campsite was worn, rusted and bent. Clay, 36, jammed a large stone beneath the grate to prop it up so he could cook hamburgers and hot dogs for his boys. “This is what you see when the state has problems with the budget,” he said in a disappointed but not angry tone. “We’ll make it work.” In a tight year, state parks people don’t want to be seen as complainers. They could use more money, just as every state agency could. As parks spokesman Charlie Peek put it, “We’re all in the same canoe.” At the same time, as the state parks become more popular, more visitors are bound to be disappointed. North Carolina is not the only place where state parks have money problems. New York’s budget crisis forced the temporary closure of 41 state parks. Arizona cut its park budget by 80 percent, and turned over some of its parks to local governments. The National Trust for Historic Preservation has added the country’s state parks to its list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. There have been no proposals to close parks in North Carolina, said Ledford, the parks director. But the state parks system operated on a $33.22 million budget during the 2008-09 fiscal year, down more than $5 million from the previous year. The amount spent in the current fiscal year, which ends June 30, will be in the same range, Ledford said. The system receives money from three main sources: fees it collects for camping and other activities, appropriations from the legislature and money from the N.C. Parks and Recreation Trust Fund. The trust fund receives its money from a deed-transfer tax of $2 per $1,000 in value, which is collected on realestate transactions. In other words, when the state’s real-estate market is hopping, so is the amount of money in the trust fund. In 2007, the system received $36.52 million from the trust fund, which can be used only for capital improvements or to buy land. In 2009, the system received $15.53 million. When times were good, the system used that money to add parkland and make ma-
jor improvements, such as visitors’ centers, to existing parks. When times are lean, there are fewer people to help staff those new acres and new buildings. “Trying to grow at the same time we’re paring back - it’s a difficult balance,” Ledford said. The state has been aggressive in recent years in bringing land into the park system, with six new state parks authorized since 2003. Grandfather Mountain and Chimney Rock state parks, two of the state’s bestknown natural attractions, are new since 2005. The state purchased Grandfather Mountain for $12 million, split equally between the Parks and Recreation and Natural Heritage Trust Funds. Both funds receive their money from the deed-transfer tax. The system works with other agencies as much as possible when it comes to purchasing land. The Nature Conservancy helped acquire the land for Carvers Creek State Park in Cumberland County, for instance. As parkland increased, so did visitors. Ledford credits several factors for the higher attendance, including the poor economy, which has led more families to stick closer to home for vacations. Improved park facilities and a growing population have also brought more visitors, he said. Asked if the system purchased too much land in boom times that it now has to care for in tighter ones, Ledford shook his head. When iconic lands such as Grandfather Mountain become available, he said, the state needs to find a way to bring them into the fold. He pointed to an economic impact study of 14 parks from 2008 that concluded each non-local park visitor spent $23.56 daily for such things as campground fees, gasoline and lunches outside the park. The economic impact the state receives from park visitors provides a good return on the investment, he said. North Carolina trails nearly all other states in park spending per resident. According to the National Association of State Park Directors, North Carolina spent $4.18 per person on parks in 2008, ranking 45th nationally. Delaware was No. 1, spending $26.50 per person; Texas was last, at $3.58. Every year, the superintendent of each park creates a list of maintenance projects and asks for money. Some of the requests are procedural; superintendents realize that not all of them will be granted, but they need to put bigger-ticket items in the pipeline so they can be considered in the future. For the coming budget year, 149 projects were approved at a cost of $1.2 million. Park superintendents asked for 328 projects that would have cost $3.17 million. So that means William B. Umstead State Park in Wake County didn’t receive the $45,000 it asked for to fix damaged siding and beams in the mess hall at one of the park’s group camp facilities. The building, which is more than 60 years old, has been damaged by water and powderpost beetles.

Reality of oil on the beaches settling in ON BARATARIA BAY, La. (AP) — The wildlife apocalypse along the Gulf Coast that everyone has feared is fast becoming reality. Pelicans struggle to free themselves from oil, thick as tar, that gathers in hipdeep pools, while others stretch out useless wings, feathers dripping with crude. Dead birds and dolphins wash ashore, coated in the sludge. Seashells that once glinted pearly white under the hot June sun are stained crimson. Scenes like this played out along miles of shoreline Saturday, nearly seven weeks after the BP rig exploded. The oil has steadily spread east, washing up in greater quantities in recent days, even as a cap placed by BP over the blownout well began to collect some of the escaping crude. The cap, resembling an upside-down funnel, has captured about 252,000 gallons of oil, according to Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the government’s point man.
Israeli commandos seize ship bound for Gaza with aid JERUSALEM (AP) — A defiant Israel enforced its 3-year-old blockade of Hamas-ruled Gaza, with naval commandos swiftly commandeering a Gazabound aid vessel carrying an Irish Nobel laureate and other activists and forcing it to head to an Israeli port instead. The bloodless takeover stood in marked contrast to a deadly raid of another Gaza aid ship this week. However, it was unlikely to halt international

Some questioning choice on U.S. intelligence operations WASHINGTON (AP) — He’s the right guy to ride herd over America’s intelligence operations. Or he’s a good guy, but the wrong one for that tough job. Those warring opinions emerged about James R. Clapper after President Barack Obama said Saturday he wants the Pentagon’s current intelligence chief to serve as director of national intelligence — the fourth since the post was created in 2004. “Eminently qualified,” Obama described the blunt-spoken retired Air
Force lieutenant general, offering his “complete confidence and support.” Senators will have to decide whether to put him in a job that manages the work of 16 spy agencies.

WENATCHEE, Wash. (AP) — Police in Wenatchee are surprised at the amount of contraband an inmate was able to smuggle into the jail rectally. The Wenatchee World said the man internally carried a cigarette lighter, rolling papers, a baggie of tobacco the size of a golf ball, a smaller baggie of marijuana, a 1-inch smoking pipe, a bottle of tattoo ink and eight tattoo needles. Chelan County Regional Justice Center administrator Phil Stanley said the man was booked into jail Wednesday night to serve a disorderly conduct sentence. Nothing was found in a strip search. But after later questioning, the inmate surrendered the items.

Mustangs are 3A state champions
JON C. LAKEY/SALISBURY POST
East Rowan players celebrate in a championship pile at Five County Stadium after beating Wilson Hunt for the 3A baseball crown on Saturday afternoon.
Whatever it takes to win Z
EBULON — This isn’t the story Brian Hightower wanted to tell, but it ends the same way. In a game that made terrible art but terrific drama, East Rowan got its 3A state championship Saturday, outlasting Wilson Hunt in a molar-grinding, Game 2 test-of-nerves. But oh, what long strange trip it was. “You expect us to pitch better. You expect us to play better defense,” Hightower said at Five County Stadium, where the Mustangs swept their way to the school’s second 3A title. “But it DAVID was nice to see the ofSHAW fense come up. This club’s always been about the pitching and the defense. This just proves we can play any kind of baseball, whatever the game asks for.” The Mustangs played the kind of baseball that’s usually fatal, yet somehow survived. Granted, they hit the ball like prizefighters — methodically pounding away until Hunt finally threw up its arms and surrendered. “We definitely didn’t think it would JON C. LAKEY/SALISBURY POST be like that,” senior Preston Troutman East Rowan coach Brian Hightower shows off his championship smile while said during a post-game celebration hugging assistant coach John McNeil after the Game 2 win. below the grandstand. “But a win’s a win.

ZEBULON — East Rowan baseball E. Rowan 15 coach Brian W. Hunt 10 Hightower sat on a pickle bucket as the bottom of the seventh began, took a long, deep breath on a pleasant green field that had turned into a blazing inferno, and started savoring his first 3A state championship. East held a five-run lead on the Five County Stadium scoreboard and it had Willie J. — amazing left-hander Will Johnson — on the mound. So what was there to worry about? “The odds were astronomically in our favor,” Hightower said. “We’re up five and Will’s given up five runs all year. There was a better chance of getting struck by lightning than of Will letting that lead get away.” Parker Gobbel was warming up, just in case, but Johnson got it done. He had a 1-2-3 seventh — the only 1-2-3 either pitching staff enjoyed all day — and right fielder Wesley LeRoy squeezed a routine flyball to bring a wild, strange 15-10 victory to a dizzy, dog-piling conclusion. East swept Wilson Hunt (26-7) in the best-of-three series for the school and the county’s first state championship since the Mustangs went 29-1 and beat Asheboro for a title in a steamy sauna in 1995.

Webb’s gem sparks win From staff reports
D.J. Webb pitched a complete game to lead Mocksville to a 9-2 win against Concord on Friday. It was Mocksville’s first complete game of the season. Webb struck out eight and walked none. Tyler King went 3-for-4 with two doubles. Ryan Carter had two hits.
Lewis to Catawba North Meck standout Lauren Lewis has signed with Catawba to play basketball and softball. Lewis, a daughter of North Meck boys basketball coach Duane Lewis, was a four-year softball starter and a three-year basketball starter for the Vikings. Lewis hit .353 for the Vikings’ softball team and had a .974 fielding percentage at shortstop. Her forte is defense, and she’s made the All-State team multiple times. A 1,000-point scorer in basketball, Lewis averaged 16.7 points per game, shot 42 percent on 3-pointers and was selected for this summer’s East-West All-Star Game. Davidson was interested in Lewis for basketball, but she picked Catawba mostly for the opportunity to play two sports. Her career goal is to coach.
Junior baseball The Salisbury Cavornets dropped a 4-1 decision to the Mooresville Legends in Mooresville on Friday. The Legends scored two runs in the first inning and two in the second. Spencer Carmichael had two hits for the Cavornets, who plated a run in the fifth. “We are just in a collective slump as a team, and sooner or later we are going to bust out of it,” Cavornets coach Scott Maddox said. “Our pitching and defense continues to be very good.” Carson defeated the Cavornets 10-2 on Saturday. Ethan Free pitched five innings. He struck out two and allowed two runs. Mitch Galloway fanned four in two innings. Galloway was 2-for-5 with two RBIs. Dylan Carpenter was 2-for-3 with an RBI double. K.J. Pressley had a triple. Greg Tonneson knocked in two. Jake Smith singled in a run for the Cavornets.

EAST ROWAN: 3A BASEBALL CHAMPS

Dependable reliever Will Johnson pitched the last three innings and took the victory for East Rowan. He finished his season with a 7-0 record.
3A Box
SHAW FROM 1B
Fair enough, but we didn’t expect this. The basepaths were busier than one of those chance-of-flurries days at Food Lion, a perpetual turnstile of plodding traffic that made scorekeeping a nightmare. It was far-removed from East’s modus operandi. “It wasn’t a pretty game at all,” said third-baseman Noah Holmes, East Rowan’s Love Potion #9. “We kept letting them back in the game. But when it ended, what a feeling! There aren’t enough words to describe it.” Sapp gave it a shot. “Incredible,” he said. “Exciting. And incredible again.” • Thank goodness the word panic never appeared in the Mustangs’ playbook. They stayed composed, never fell behind and had ample fuel left in their tanks to stave off the Warriors. “We got the big lead, but we realized it was early,” said Troutman. “There was still a long way to go. Then they rallied and brought us right back to earth. We knew we were in for a fight.” It became a slugfest. The state’s last two teams standing combined for 25 runs on 29 hits, hardly the tight-fisted battle many anticipated. “We kept hitting the ball and putting it in play,” rubber-armed reliever Will Johnson said after hurling three scoreless innings and improving to 7-0. “When you do that, good things happen.” The best things happened in the last of the seventh, when Johnson induced three routine flyouts and the delivered the game’s only 1-2-3 inning. Sophomore Wesley LeRoy, victimized by Mother Nature in the first, fittingly squeezed the final out in right field. “When I saw that ball go in the air, I started praying he wouldn’t lose it,” Troutman said. “I had trouble not running out there and grabbing it myself.” Sapp, camped in nearby center field, was never worried. “Wesley had it all the way,” he said. “He wasn’t going to miss that one to save the world.” • In the end the sanest commentary was that nothing came easy for East this weekend. Perhaps that’s what made winning so rewarding — knowing this wasn’t a work of beauty, simply the work of a champion. “What I’ll remember most is how unselfish this team was,” Hightower said before boarding the team bus. “All they care about is what’s written across their chests — and that’s ‘Mustangs.’ In crunch time, no one was better in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings than this team. “No one.” And that’s a story worth telling.

teams settled in for a long struggle. “If I’d told (pitching coach Brian) Hatley before the game that we were gonna give up 10 runs,”he’d have gone and shot himself,” Hightower said with a grin. “But, man, we just knocked it all over the yard. I’m a pitching-and-defense guy, but right now, I could care less what the score was. It’s a state championship.” Will Sapp was named series MVP, with third baseman Noah Holmes and Johnson also deserving consideration. The junior center fielder was flawless with his glove and tremendous with his bat. Sapp had two doubles on Saturday and four extra-base hits for the weekend. Even his outs were rockets. “You know,it was really crazy today,” Sapp said. “But I don’t think any of us care how crazy it got. We came out on top. That’s what matters.” Sapp’s two-run double capped that bizarre eight-run first in which the Mustangs sent 12 men to the plate. Hunt contributed three walks and two errors to the huge inning. Holmes had a run-scoring single, LeRoy drew a bases-loaded walk, and Preston Troutman had a sac fly, but the biggest hit of the first inning was one delivered by DH Nathan Fulbright for his cancer-stricken father. Already down 2-0 when Fulbright came to the plate and with runners at second and third, Hunt brought its infield in. With fielders at normal depth, Fulbright would’ve grounded out to shortstop. Instead, his grounder found a hole, and he had two RBIs. East starting pitcher Alex Bost didn’t retire any of the five batters he faced, and his outing came to an abrupt end when LeRoy lost a flyball that would’ve been routine if the sun hadn’t been blazing directly in his face. Thomas Allen, who has pitched little for East in recent weeks due to a forearm injury, had reduced velocity and erratic command, but he got the Mustangs threw two innings with a 127 lead. Bradley Robbins, a sophomore with a future, worked the third and fourth. Johnson relieved him with t he bases loaded and none out in the fifth and things getting tense. Johnson allowed two sac flies that LeRoy tracked down and headed to the dugout. “Allen gutted out two innings for

East Rowan’s Justin Morris cools off in the dugout, but he was as hot as the weather on Saturday with his bat. us, and Robbins was good until the heat just got to him and gassed him,”Hightower said. “We were thinking early on we might be able to end it in five innings by the 10-run rule, but that didn’t quite work out. Fortunately, we’ve got Willie J. He should be All-State.” Johnson (7-0) was credited with the win and capped one of the great mound runs in county history. He was called upon in all eight of East’s postseason games. He allowed zero earned runs while throwing 20 pressurized innings. He struck out 20 and walked three. He pitched in East’s 11 games, all victories. “All the guys started believing that when Will came in,we weren’t going to give up any more runs,” Hightower said. Momentum appeared to be slipping away from East in the top of the second inning, but a two-out double off the left-field wall by Justin Morris ignited a four-run frame that was capped by Troutman’s two-run triple. Morris, Fulbright and Holmes had three hits each. “There was a whole buncha offense, and we needed every bit of it,” Holmes said. “I really feel like we beat a great team in a great game. They just kept fighting, but we just kept on hitting.” For Holmes, a three-year varsity veteran, and coaches Hightower, Hatley and John McNeil, the victory was especially sweet. They felt the sting of a final-game loss in the 3A championships on the same field in 2008. East was also very much in the hunt
in 2009, but one fateful Lake Norman groundball found a hole between Holmes and Troutman to decide a fourth-round game with the eventual state champions. “It’s hard for me to even describe how this feels because I’ve got tingles all over,” said Troutman, sweat pouring in buckets down his cheeks. “Mostly, I’m tired. If we’d had to go to extra innings or if we’d had to go a third game to decide it, I don’t know if we could’ve done it.” East didn’t hit the ball out of the huge ballpark as it did in Game 1, but it socked five doubles to accompany Troutman’s whistling triple. Nine different pitchers were employed in the game, and Hunt sent Zach Houchins to the mound two different times. He was one of three Hunt pitchers to struggle in the first and he returned to the scene of the crime, so to speak, in the seventh. Houchins had some guts. So did all the Hunt players. Cody Britt whacked two of his team’s four doubles, and Houchins picked up two hits and two RBIs. But East made a few more plays, hit the ball a little harder, and East had Willie J. When you’ve got Willie J., there are times you can sit back on a pickle bucket and smile. “When that last flyball was hit to right field, it hit me what we’d accomplished,” Troutman said. “It was all I could do not to start crying with the ball still in the air.”

RALEIGH -- Caleb Wells hit his only home run of the season to propel Wilmington Laney to a dramatic extrainning 6-5 victory over East Forsyth in the third and final game of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association state 4-A baseball championship series at Doak Field on the campus of N.C. State. Wells' eighth-inning homer with two outs, after East had come from four runs back to tie the game, lifted the Buccaneers to the state championship. Both teams were playing in the NCHSAA baseball finals for the first time. Laney completed a 21-10 season while East finished at 24-10.

CREST
RALEIGH — East Rowan catcher Crest 7 Kayla Potts, E. Rowan 4 the team’s lone senior, shed tears but maintained a smile while exchanging hugs following the Mustangs’ season-ending loss Saturday. “I hate it ended this way, but we accomplished a lot this year,” Potts said. “I’m proud of every single one of them. I’m just going to miss them. “I’m not sad that we lost. I’m sad that I won’t get to play with them again.” East, appearing in the 3A Final Four for the first time since 1996, won its first game at the Walnut Creek Softball Complex and dropped the next two in the double-elimination event. Crest advanced to the championship round with a 7-4 victory over the Mustangs (25-3) and then fell 6-1 to Southwestern Randolph. East’s starting lineup featured five juniors and three freshmen. Bobbi Thomas, a freshman who went 2-for-2 as a pinch-hitter in Raleigh, should take over at catcher next season. “It seemed like we had a lot of different people step up in different situations this weekend,” East coach Mike Waddell said. “We’ll be able to get back started on it next February with this under their belt. Once they get a taste, hopefully they’ll want a big gulp.” Crest’s Bailey Smith pitched six scoreless innings and struck out 10 batters before East rallied for a 2-1 victory in the Western Regional final early Friday evening.

East Rowan catcher Kayla Potts waits for the throw as Crest’s Sumer Kale slides across the plate for a run. Potts was the NOTES: Poole and Kirk shared the team lead with four only senior for a Mustang team that finished with 25 victories. The Mustangs cut their strikeout total in half and collected seven hits against Smith in the rematch, but the Chargers broke free from a 2all tie by scoring four times in the top of the fourth inning. Dakota Keller hit a two-run double off East pitcher Chelsea White, who started showing signs of fatigue midway through her third outing in 20 hours. Waddell said White, who has felt under the weather for about five days,
might have mono. Crest increased its lead to 6-2 thanks to Hannah Thompson’s RBI single and a two-out error. “Chelsea’s a great pitcher, so we worked on trying to hit the top part of the ball,” Crest coach Greg Earl said. “At that time we were able to get our swings at the right level.” East scored first, pulling ahead in the second inning when courtesy runner Heather Trexler raced home
on Steffi Sides’ single. Crest answered with two runs in the third, and the Mustangs tied the game in their half of the frame. Ericka Nesbitt scored on the first of freshman Sydney Poole’s two RBI doubles. “Yesterday we did not adjust to the Crest pitcher at all,” Nesbitt said after Saturday’s contest. “It’s the best we’ve seen all year. The movement on her ball is crazy. “Today we decided to move
up in the box and take the movement away. That’s what we did. We put hits together, but they also had their good hits.” East trailed 6-2 before scoring two runs in the fifth inning. Jessica Rummage reached on an error, and Kayla Kirk picked up an RBI with a grounder to the right side of the infield. She ended up at second base following a bad throw from close range, and Poole smacked a long double
hits and two runs scored in three tournament games. ... Kirk, Nesbitt, White, Mallory Drew and Meagan Kluttz will be seniors next season. Poole, Sides, Rummage, Thomas, Trexler, Courtney Lyerly and Allyson Mills were all part of the Final Four action as freshmen. ... SW Randolph, which held on for a 3-2 win against East on Friday night, won its third 3A title in four years.

South Rowan holds on BY JORDAN HONEYCUTT sports@salisburypost.com
LANDIS — An assumed finality became a marathon fiasco last night S. Rowan 19 as South Rowan defeated Concord 16 Concord 19-16. At the end of the sixth when South starter Dylan Walker exited, South led by a score of 16-4. After a wild inning that included walks, hit batters, home runs, and yes, a catcher’s interference, the lead was suddenly cut to 16-13. The final two innings consisted of both teams trading punches. South’s lead was secured by reserve players Bubba McLaughlin and Parker Hubbard, who both had huge RBI hits in the bottom of the eighth, and by relief pitcher Matt Miller, who shut down Concord’s offense in the top of the ninth. The game both thrilled and frustrated South coach Michael Lowman, who said, “We got off to a great start, swung the bats well, and Dylan did a great job on the mound. I wanted to get some of the guys who don’t get as much playing time in there and after Dylan went out, we just couldn’t get the ball over the plate. And when we did, they hit it. “You gotta give Concord credit for hanging tough and I’m very proud of our young guys. The game was on their shoulders tonight and they won it for us.”
South bashed five homers in the first two innings that included a three run shot from Gunnar Hogan, back-to-back jacks from Joseph Basinger and Randy Shepherd, a solo shot from Trip Cross, and another three run blast from Weston Smith. There was no power outage from the visitors either, as they hit four home runs of their own. “Our guys showed heart and character in that comeback and never hung their heads,” said Concvord coach Jaymie Russ. “I wanted them to know that we were going to play hard for the rest of the time we were here and I think that we can build on this from tonight.” South starter Walker hurled six solid innings, allowing only the four runs on seven hits. Unfortunately, the relievers couldn’t turn in stellar performances. South used four relievers over the last three innings. Maverick Miles also reached a milestone as he became the South Legion’s all-time leader in triples with his seventh. Leading the way offensively for South was catcher Joseph Basinger who went 4for-4 with four runs and four RBIs. Designated hitter Randy Shepherd who was 3-for-5 with a run scored and two RBIs. South is back in action Tuesday at Stanly County and is back home Wednesday to take on Statesville.

Kannapolis shuts down Rowan bats Staff report
KANNAPOLIS — East Rowan’s Kannapolis 7 s t a t e Rowan 2 championship players will be joining the Rowan Legion shortly. Coach Jim Gantt could have used them Saturday night in a 7-2 loss to Kannapolis in a non-division game at Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium. Graham Lawing pitched eight solid innings, giving up just four hits as Kannapolis improved to 4-6 overall. Zach Jones picked up the save. Rowan starter Matt Laurens was in trouble early, giving up three runs in the first inning.

Keselowski wins believe I’ve got to fly to Nashville.’ I’m thinking, ’Oh, wow, I can’t believe somebody is paying me to drive in Nashville.”’ Keselowski, also the 2008 Nashville winner, increased his points lead from one to 196 over second-place Kyle Busch — the defending series champion who skipped the Nashville race and isn’t running for the season title. Keselowski was the only one of the top three finishers to actually arrive in time to practice Friday, and credited that for the victory that earned him the customized Gibson Guitar that goes to each race winner at the Nashville track. “It’s quite simple. If I didn’t come down here (to practice), I wouldn’t have won the race,” Keselowski said. Edwards, a three-time winner at the Nashville track, admitted that he had his sights

GLADEVILLE, Tenn. — Brad Keselowski raced to his third NASCAR Nationwide Series victory of the year and ninth overall, easily holding off rival Carl Edwards on Saturday night at Nashville Superspeedway. Keselowski, the series points leader, led 97 of 225 laps in his Penske Dodge and finished 1.67 seconds ahead of Edwards. Paul Menard was third, giving Sprint Cup drivers the top three spots. Keselowski, Edwards, Menard and Michael McDowell also will race Sunday at Pocono in the Sprint Cup event. McDowell exited early after finishing 30th. “It’s still physically demanding. I’m sure I’ll do a lot of sleeping on the way to Pocono,” Keselowski said. “When I’m sitting the plane, I don’t think, ’Oh, man, I can’t

Gasol’s toughness grows in third final with Lakers Associated Press
The NBA notebook ... LOS ANGELES — Pau Gasol used to spend this week in Paris each year, sitting in the shade at Roland Garros and watching Rafael Nadal torment his opponents on the clay courts. Gasol’s gracious summers ended when the Los Angeles Lakers acquired Gasol just over two years ago from the woebegone Memphis Grizzlies, putting him in the thick of the NBA finals for the past three seasons. Gasol showcased his evolving toughness with every rebound and big defensive play in the Lakers’ 102-89 victory in Thursday’s opener. He had 23 points and 14 rebounds while leading the Lakers’ physical game with a stifling, aggressive performance against Kevin Garnett, who dominated their matchup in the clubs’ 2008 finals meeting. “I had to get myself mentally and physically ready for those types of challenges,” Gasol said. “Just to be able to deliver and play the way I can perform, I had to work throughout these two years to be the kind of player that I am today.” The Celtics don’t have Gasol to kick around any more, and it’s giving the Lakers an early advantage. Game 2 is today night at Staples Center. CELTICS SCHEMING Rajon Rondo often enjoys returning to his room at the Celtics’ hotel and watching tape of a Boston victory before he goes to sleep. The losses, not so much. Yet Rondo did just that after the NBA finals open-
er Thursday with teammate Kendrick Perkins, ordering room service and watching the replay of the Los Angeles Lakers’ decisive win. In his own room elsewhere in the hotel, Kevin Garnett did the same thing — twice. “You learn a lot about yourself when you lose,” Garnett said. “You learn a lot about yourself when you’re down. This shows what you’re made of.” WOODEN TRIBUTE Even after combining for 32 NBA titles, the Celtics and Lakers realize there was no basketball champion like John Wooden. The day before Game 2 of the NBA finals, the teams paused to reflect Saturday on the contributions Wooden made and honor his legacy. The Hall of Famer died on Friday night at the age of 99. “I’m very familiar with what John Wooden has done for the game of basketball,” said Celtics forward and Los Angeles native Paul Pierce. “When I talk about basketball, I don’t mean (just) the college game, I mean all of basketball. “His influence on the game has been awesome, and when you see an icon like that pass away, your heart just goes out to him and his family.” BULLS COACH The Boston Celtics apparently will need a new assistant coach after the NBA finals.Bulls.com and ESPNChicago.com both reported on Saturday that Tom Thibodeau had accepted the Chicago Bulls’ head coaching job. Thibodeau, considered one of the NBA’s top defensive minds, was also a candidate for jobs in New Orleans and New Jersey.

DUBLIN, Ohio — Rickie Fowler is one round closer to joining the youth movement on the PGA Tour. On another day of rain at the Memorial, the 21-year-old Fowler extended his bogey-free streak to 52 holes and made enough birdies for a 3-under 69 Saturday that gave him a three-shot lead going into the final round at Muirfield Village. Fowler was at 16-under 200 and had the largest 54-hole lead at the Memorial since Tiger Woods led by six in 2000. A victory would be the third by a player 22 years old or young in the last six weeks. Woods, the defending champion, shot a 69 with a double bogey and was 10 shots behind. Phil Mickelson also failed to take advantage of the soft and vulnerable course with a 70, leaving him eight shots back. • WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — Nick Price topped the second-round leaderboard again in the Principal Charity Classic, shooting a 6-under 65 to match Tommy Armour III at 10-under 132 in the Champions Tour event at Glen Oaks Country Club.

REMEMBERING JOHN WOODEN

The final days filled with love “When I spoke to him, he opened his eyes just a little bit and got a little bit of a smile,” he said. “He talked a little bit, but I couldn’t tell what he was saying.” By Friday, though, Erickson said it was evident the end was near. Wooden didn’t respond to anyone in the room, resting with his pale blue eyes closed, hours away from his long awaited reunion with his late wife Nell. “They had a very, very close relationship. I’m sure today John is a happy person,” said Gene Bartow. Erickson reminisced Saturday under the 11 national championship banners hanging in a quiet Pauley Pavilion, taking solace in knowing that Wooden was no longer in pain. “The last couple years he was not happy. He didn’t want to go through this, but he was a fighter,” he said. Walton didn’t join Satur-

LOS ANGELES — Jamaal Wilkes answered his phone a week ago and heard Michael Warren’s voice urging him to get to the hospital to see John Wooden. The former UCLA coach and Hall of Famer had been in and out of the hospital in recent years, but this time, it was different. Warren told Wilkes that Wooden might be nearing the end of his inspiring life. A few days later, a grave Bill Walton called Wilkes, saying, “Jamaal, you need to get over here.” So Wilkes headed to campus to see his 99-year-old former coach, one of many long-ago UCLA basketball greats who gathered at Wooden’s bedside in his final days to say farewell. “There were lots of people coming through,” said Keith Erickson, who starred
on the 1964 and ’65 national title teams. “Everybody wanted to give their last regards to him and let him know for sure that we had been there and how much we loved him.” Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, known as Lew Alcindor in his college days, rushed back from Europe, reaching Wooden’s side hours before he died Friday night. Gary Cunningham, a player, assistant under Wooden and later head coach of the Bruins, cut short a vacation in the Sierra Nevada. “It was very sweet,” said Andy Hill, a reserve on UCLA’s national championship teams in 1970, ’71 and ’72. “I got to tell him he can leave, but he really can’t because he’s in all of us.” Erickson spent a few minutes with Wooden on Wednesday night, tenderly holding the long, bony fingers of his mentor’s hand.

Billboard for Bloom adds scent to get your attention MOORESVILLE (AP) — It’s not just the picture of beef on a new billboard that tries to catch drivers’ attention, it’s the aroma coming from the sign. Multiple media outlets reported the billboard on N.C. 150 in Mooresville emits the smell of black pepper and charcoal to promote a new line of beef available at the Bloom grocery chain, which is part of the Salisbury-based Food Lion chain. A giant fork goes from the ground to the billboard, where it pierces a piece of meat. “In terms of being creative, with all of the advertising around, you want to be able to jump out and grab the consumer’s attention,” said Angie Hunter, the manager of marketing for Bloom. The billboard, which Bloom lit up on May 28, will emit scents from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. every day until June 18, Bloom spokeswoman Christy Phillips-Brown said. The scent is emitted by a high-powered fan at the bottom of the billboard that blows air over cartridges loaded with fragrance oil, said Murray Dameron, marketing director for Charlotte-based ScentAir, which provides custom scents and fragrance-delivery systems for businesses, including hotel lobbies, casino gambling floors and retail stores. The billboard scent is “basically a blend of black pepper and kind of a charcoal grilling smell,” Dameron said. “It smells like grilled meat with a nice pepper rub on it.” Although a billboard is a new medium for ScentAir, the company has also used the system at outdoor events or large indoor spaces, including the 2008 World Series at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla., where the domed stadium smelled like oranges. In some cases of scented outdoor advertising, people with asthma or environmental allergies have complained about the smell. In addition, it’s hard to control the aroma from scented outdoor ads, said Harald Vogt, founder of the Scent Marketing Institute, a New York-based independent consultancy. Cheryl Reid, manager of a mini-storage business on one side of the sign, couldn’t smell anything from her door this week. As she got about 30 feet from the fan, she smelled a faint, charcoal scent that didn’t

RALEIGH — Eighteen North Carolina projects, 17 using solar technology and one using landfill gas, will receive a total of about $2.3 million in federal Recovery Act funds to implement energy conservation projects that invest in energy technology, Gov. Bev Perdue announced this past week. Shoe Show in Cabarrus County was awarded $200,000 for a photovoltaic solar project to be placed on the rooftop in the Concord corporate offices. In addition to the installation of the solar panels, major elements of this project include furnishing and installing four PV-powered 260 kilowatt inverters, all wiring and installing system data monitoring equipment capable of tracking five years of real-time data via the Internet. Total cost of the project is $7.2 million, and it will generate 1.5 million kilowatt hours annually. The projects represent $26.3 million in total costs and will generate 31.8 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually (enough for 2,610 average homes for a year) or 2.6 billion BTUs (enough to provide hot water to 287 average homes for a year), depending on the project. “These projects help build our state’s green energy economy, create jobs and demonstrate how public and private partnerships can work to help our communities,” said Perdue. Money for the grants is distributed by the North Carolina Energy Office, part of the state’s Department of Commerce, through the State Energy Program fund through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Some of the other projects include: • $24,719 for a 20 panel solar thermal system for the J.V. Washam Elementary School’s cafeteria and facilities hot water use. The school is in Cornelius. • $38,042 for a photovoltaic solar project on the parking deck of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center. • $200,000 for a rooftop photovoltaic solar system at Commonwealth Brands, a manufacturer and distributor of tobacco products in Reidsville. • $200,000 for solar thermal systems to be installed at Elon University to produce approximately 4,500 gallons of hot water per day for four buildings on campus. • $32,358 for a solar thermal project to be installed at Meadowood Garden Apartments in Lenoir to supply hot water for the complex. • $200,000 for a 250 kW photovoltaic solar system to be installed on the roof of the Food Lion in Robersonville. • $143,054 for a 32 kW capacity photovoltaic solar system to be installed at both the Beatties

DEAR READER: Understand that nothing is EVER free. The interest is always in the purchase price. While it may not be expressed as interest, the use of that money is still part of the deal.

DEAR BRUCE: I am 35 years old, married and have three children. My family and friends keep saying that I should be investing for my future, but I have no idea where to begin. Can you give me some guidance? — L.O. via e-mail
DEAR L.O.: For someone your age, there is absolutely nothing more important than acquiring knowledge about investing and coming up with an investment schedule. You need to do some research. As I have said time and
time again, the Internet is invaluable and magazines such as Money, Forbes, Fortune, Wall Street Journal and the business section of your local paper are all great sources. The one major investment that many are reluctant to make is the time required to gain this knowledge. Interested in buying or selling a house? Let Bruce Williams’ “House Smart” be your guide.

joined other independent pharmacies in requesting that Congress confront the pharmacy benefit management industry’s fees and practices. According to the Association of Community Pharmacists Congressional Network, the pharmacy benefit management industry is the primary source of inflated prescription costs. Pharmacy owners across the nation have provided evidence to members of Congress that PBMs underpay local pharmacies and hide the underpayments from insurers and government plans. ACP/CN encouraged congressional leaders to introduce a pharmacy bill to end these practices and place greater emphasis on use of generic drugs, local pharmacies, and other significant costcontainment measures. It could reduce prescription costs for taxpayers and consumers by more than $250 billion over 10 years, according to a report for ACP/CN by a former analyst of the Congressional Budget Office. Whit Moose Jr. is president of Moose Pharmacy. Moose Pharmacy operates four different locations in Mt. Pleasant, Concord, Midland and Salisbury. The company specializes in competitively priced prescription medication, compounding medications, Moose Pharmacy brand of overthe-counter supplements and homeopathic health solutions.
Hershey chocolate workers in Pa. approve labor deal HERSHEY, Pa. (AP) — Unionized workers at two Hershey Co. hometown chocolate plants on Friday overwhelming approved a labor deal that could eliminate hundreds of jobs and leave just administrative offices in the original factory built by founder Milton Hershey. Union members approved the deal because of the candy maker’s promise to expand and modernize its newer West Hershey plant across town and because of its threat to move the project and jobs elsewhere if the union rejected it, a union official said. “I think the members thought it was the only way to ensure the plant would be built here instead of somewhere else in the United States,” said Diane Carroll,
secretary/treasurer of Chocolate Workers Local 464. The vote was 1,317 to 95, meaning some workers slated to lose their jobs still voted yes because it would save someone else’s job, Carroll said. The company’s board of directors still must approve the expansion plan, Hershey spokesman Kirk Saville said. The Hershey Co., whose sweet treats include Almond Joy, Kit Kat, Milk Duds and Reese’s peanut butter cups, could cut 500 to 600 jobs under the plan, which it says is necessary to remain competitive in the global market. The 105-year-old plant, at 19 E. Chocolate Ave., has an unwieldy layout that makes it inefficient and troublesome to upgrade, Saville said.

Smell, health risks of Chinese drywall kept under wraps
Deficits, banking rules stymie world’s financial powers BUSAN, South Korea (AP) — Finance chiefs of leading economies tackled the thorny issue of reforming supervision of banks and other financial institutions Saturday, the urgency of their task sharpened by fears Hungary’s debt crisis could bring on a new round of financial turmoil. The Group of 20 major advanced and developing economies looked likely to put aside discord over technical details for the sake of progress on an outline for a coordinated program of financial reforms to be endorsed by leaders, including President Barack Obama, in a June 26-27 meeting in Toronto. Talks focused on the need to rein in ballooning deficits. “The majority of the member states put budgetary consolidation as their top priority,” French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde told reporters. Stocks in the United States plunged Friday after a weak jobs report, with the Dow industrials losing 324 points. In Europe, fears that Hungary might face a Greece-like financial meltdown pushed the euro to below $1.20 for the first time in more than four years. “The mood has changed decisively in favor of encouraging those countries facing the highest risks to accelerate their deficit reduction plans,” British Chancellor George Osborne wrote in Saturday’s edition of The Times Online. As they began their talks Friday in the South Korean
“The recent event in Europe and volatility in the financial market have clearly shown us the global recovery is still fragile.” YOON JEUNG-HYUN
South Korea’s minister of strategy and finance
port city of Busan, the finance ministers and central bankers showed growing concern over the threat to the global recovery from Europe’s sovereign debt crisis. Hungary became the latest country to warn Friday it was facing problems, following Greece, Spain and Portugal. “The recent event in Europe and volatility in the financial market have clearly shown us the global recovery is still fragile,” said Yoon Jeung-hyun, South Korea’s minister of strategy and finance, referring to Europe’s $1 trillion bailout at the opening as the chair of the session. “Today we are meeting at a critical time when our cooperation is more important than ever to address significant economic risks and firmly secure the global recovery,” Yoon said. The group were to end their talks later in the day with a statement that is expected to express strong support for Europe’s bailout. But the agenda also includes reform of internation-
al financial institutions and nuts-and-bolts issues on how to finance and structure safety nets to limit damage from future crises. This includes “the need to ensure the credibility of the massive mechanisms needed to restore stability,” Lagarde said. Apart from controversy over whether to impose a bank levy to fund bailouts, members are also debating a global standard for capital reserves that financial institutions must hold as cushion against potential loan losses. Osborne said he still would be pushing for agreements on tightening banking capital requirements to be concluded, to “end the uncertainty.” But some members fear that too steep or fast an increase would prompt banks to curb lending, cutting off funding crucial for a recovery. “There will be a delay in implementation,” said Lagarde, noting the need for technical work on the rules. The G-20, founded in 1999, shifted its focus to crisis management after the 2008 collapse of U.S. investment bank Lehman Brothers. The group meeting in Busan is drafting an agenda for a summit meeting in Seoul in November that includes building a “framework for strong, sustainable and balanced growth.” On Friday, World Bank experts at a conference in Busan said that agenda must take into account the growing need to tap the strong potential of developing economies, which are due to see 6 percent growth this year.
Appeals court ruling good for US Airways pilot union The pilot’s union at US Airways won a legal fight on Friday in its dispute with members who came from the old America West when the two airlines combined in 2005. The issue has been whether the union would have to follow an arbitrator’s award on seniority that was seen as favoring the America West pilots. Six of those America West pilots had sued, saying the pilot’s union was harming them by not following the arbitrator’s decision. Last year a federal judge in Phoenix agreed. But on Friday, a threejudge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said it’s too soon to say that the union has harmed the America West pilots, and it ordered the case dismissed. For them to make a claim, a new contract ignoring the arbitrator’s award would have to be ratified, two of the judges ruled. Until that happens it’s just speculation to say the America West pilots will be harmed by the union’s plans, the majority opinion said. Even if the union doesn’t follow the arbitrator’s decision, the contract it negotiates with the company might not be as bad as the America West pilots fear, the judges wrote. The US Airline Pilots Association said the ruling leaves it free to go back to negotiating its own seniority agreement with the company, rather than the one handed down by the arbitrator. The union said it’s not bound by the arbitrator’s decision because it was reached under its predecessor, the Air Line Pi-
lots Association. Seniority is important to pilots because it dictates who gets the more desirable schedules, as well as who gets laid off. The court ruling said some America West pilots who have been furloughed would be working if the arbitrator’s decision had been adopted. The union’s seniority proposal goes by when pilots were hired. That favors pilots from the old US Airways, who tended to be older. USAPA President Mike Cleary said that’s what’s fair. “All of their investments into the corporation, into their careers need to be respected,” he said. America West pilots had argued that US Airways was
on the verge of being liquidated before their airline rescued it out of bankruptcy protection and took its name. The company, now called US Airways Group Inc., is based in Tempe, Ariz. and run by executives who came from America West. Marty Harper, an attorney for the six America West pilots, said it was nearly certain they would ask for their appeal to be heard by the full 9th Circuit. US Airways spokeswoman Michelle Mohr said, “we have consistently stated it is our strong desire to see our pilots resolve their seniority dispute and to achieve a joint contact with the company. We look forward to a final resolution.”
their homes in 2008 would have loved to have known what Banner knew in 2006,” said Diaz, who is representing more than 150 Miami-Dade homeowners in the lawsuit. Diaz said consumers and installers were victimized by “this sweetheart deal.”

MIAMI (AP) — A South Florida construction supplier that purchased faulty Chinese drywall made an agreement with the manufacturer not to make any statements regarding the plasterboard’s possible smell or health risks, according to court documents released in a class action suit Friday. The documents, unsealed Friday and provided to the Associated Press by attorney Victor Diaz, include a settlement agreement between Banner Supply Co. and manufacturer Knauf Plasterboard Tianjin Co. In the agreement, signed in December 2006, Knauf agreed to provide Banner Supply with thousands of pieces of U.S.-produced plasterboard and to pay them $7,300 per month to store the Chinese product.

Gary Coleman had a will; parents drop burial plans he wanted to have done,” Jackman said. In 1989, when Gary Coleman was 21, his mother filed a court request trying to gain control of her son’s $6 million fortune, saying he was incapable of handling his affairs. The move “obviously stems from her frustration at not being able to control my life,” he said. Gary Coleman’s career took a considerable nose dive in the late 1980s and it never recovered. It’s unclear how much his estate is worth now, but his Santaquin home in a middle class neighborhood about 65 miles south of Salt Lake City is valued at about $315,000, according to Utah County property tax records. Shielia Erickson, a repre-
COLEMAN sentative for Price, said she is grateful the Colemans have backed off. “That’s all we wanted to do is fill Gary’s wishes,” she said. He is originally from Zion, Ill., a small town about 50 miles north of Chicago near the Wisconsin border. Gary Coleman starred for eight seasons on the sitcom “Diff’rent Strokes,” starting in 1978.
PENSACOLA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The timing might be a bit off for tourists hoping to waste away in Margaritaville. But that doesn’t bother Jimmy Buffett. The singer — whose tunes are as much a part of life in this beach town as fried grouper sandwiches, Land Shark beer and the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels — is planning to open a 162-room Margaritaville Hotel in a week. As tar balls came ashore Saturday from an oil plume
shooting out of the floor of the Gulf of Mexico, Buffett said he had no plans to delay the opening. “This will pass,” he said as walked along the city’s beachfront and fishing pier with Fla. Gov. Charlie Crist. Buffett told fans he often went to Pensacola Beach while growing up nearby in Alabama. He said his favorite memories are of sunsets in the fall. He joked that he also enjoys the sunrises — but usually sleeps through them.

mediately returned Friday. Sue Coleman and husband Willie Coleman had been seeking to take custody of their son’s body and return it to his boyhood home in Illinois once it was discovered this week that he had divorced wife Shannon Price in 2008. It was Price — who was named in an advanced health care directive — who ordered that Gary Coleman be taken off of life support. His parents have said they learned about his hospitalization and death from media reports and they had wanted to reconcile with their son before his death. “We know that we loved him. We know deep in his heart he loves us,” Sue Coleman said Friday. “That’s the way it is.” She said she wasn’t aware of any funeral details outlined in the will and that she had not spoken with Mial in probably 20 years. Randy Kester, a Utah defense attorney who has represented Gary Coleman in the past, has said the two discussed the need to meet and work on a will as recently as four or five weeks ago. Gary Coleman’s parents had been preparing to go to court, but Jackman said that’s no longer the case because they had seen a copy of the will naming Mial as its beneficiary. “The Colemans from the start simply wanted to do what

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Gary Coleman’s estranged parents abandoned their effort to bury him in his native Illinois Friday after a Utah attorney revealed the actor named an executor in a 1999 will. “Of course it’s disappointing. We’d be inhuman if it wasn’t, but we’re not up for a fight,” Coleman’s mother, Sue Coleman, said in an interview with The Associated Press. “We just want him finally put away to rest.” Gary Coleman died May 28 in Utah from a brain hemorrhage at age 42. Salt Lake City Attorney Kent Alderman said he has a will Coleman wrote that he will take to a Utah County court sometime this week. The will was written before Coleman moved to Utah and met his future wife during filming for the 2006 comedy “Church Ball.” Alderman wouldn’t reveal details of the will, including the name of the executor, but said Coleman will not be buried this weekend. “We will submit that for probate next week and find out if this is the last will. We believe it is. Nobody’s come up with a more recent one,” Alderman said. Frederick Jackman, an attorney for Gary Coleman’s parents, said the person named in the will is Dion Mial, a friend and former manager of the former child TV star.

Fixing foster care Reforms help states reduce numbers BY DAVID CRARY Associated Press

A final mission
Kissing a long marriage goodbye
From “Wineka’s World,” a blog by Salisbury Post columnist Mark Wineka:
Gores’ breakup isn’t as unusual as you might think
I
’m a lazy writer who tends to dump everything from my notepad into stories, which makes them too long for modern attention spans. What I mean to say is, there’s not a lot of selfediting going on. But a recent story I wrote on Floyd Daugherty Sr. of MARK Landis, a vetWINEKA eran of 30 bombing missions over Europe in World War II, left out something that I just didn’t know how to include. Daugherty had finished his 30th and last bombing mission. He never suffered a scrape, and the B-17s in which he was tailgunner were never shot down, though they often limped back to the base in Ipswich, England, on only two of the four engines. After talking to many veterans over the years, I realize now what an accomplishment it was, first, to survive a bombing mission and, second, never to be wounded or have to bail out of a disabled bomber.
Bloggers’corner
A sampling from staff posts at www.salisburypost.com Daugherty was waiting on the Ipswich runway apron for his closest friend to complete his final bombing mission — an event they were sure to celebrate later. But as his friend’s plane was coming in for a landing, a red flare went up, signifying that someone on board was injured. Daugherty was in the group that reached the bomber first. He saw his friend inside, motionless and covered in blood. An enemy shell had gone through his groin “and tore him to pieces,” Daugherty told me. He was dead. Disconsolate, Daugherty walked away from the plane kicking rocks and “half-crying,” he said. He didn’t see the ground officer pass him in a Jeep. The officer stopped and moved back to where Daugherty was walking and reprimanded him for not saluting an officer. He ordered Daugherty to sweep streets at the base for the next three nights as punishment for the slight. “I could have killed him,” Daugherty said. I know it’s too late, Floyd, but permission granted.

BY JOCELYN NOVECK Associated Press
N
EW YORK — There was no salacious sex scandal, no prostitution ring, no mysterious trip to Argentina. Al and Tipper Gore are a famous political couple, but their split after 40 years of marriage apparently stemmed from a much simpler, more mundane cause, according to friends: They simply grew apart. And in that, experts say, they’re no different from many Americans. Such late-marriage splits are much more common than we think. “We tend to mistakenly believe that once people reach a certain point in marriage, they just stop splitting up,” says Betsey Stevenson, an economist at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School who studies family trends. “But that’s simply not true.” In fact, Stevenson says, though marriages are more likely to fail in the first 10 years, once you get past that, “the percentage of those divorcing each year is very similar throughout the years of marriage.” Of course, there’s no getting around the shock factor surrounding the separation announcement by the Gores, which came in an e-mail Tuesday to friends. Unlike many political couples, they’d spoken openly of their feelings for each other and seemed to share an easy affection, not to mention four children and three grandchildren. That affection was apparent even without The Kiss — the go-for-broke liplock between the vice president and his wife at the 2000 Democratic convention that made so many blush, and is probably doing so again, on YouTube. Was it impulsive or calculated? Either way, it was still quite a kiss. But now the Gores are parting, and many are asking not only, “Why THEM?” but “Why NOW?”
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A decade after this kiss at the 2000 Democratic National Convention, Al and Tipper Gore said they were separating after 40 years of marriage. Talk to relationship experts, though, and they point to a host of reasons why a couple at such a late stage might find themselves in the same position. Perhaps the most obvious: After 40 years, children have been launched and are well into adulthood, often with children of their own. Before then, even when children are teens or young adults, parenting can be so all-consuming that it’s virtually a permanent distraction from one’s own marriage. Compounding the normal stresses and demands of raising four children, the Gores went through a painful ordeal when their then 6-year-old son, Albert, was nearly killed in a car accident. “Even with older children, the demands are quite intense,” says Elana Katz, a family therapist and divorce
mediator at New York’s Ackerman Institute for the Family. “That can be distracting, or it can create a strong bond. But when that chapter is done, people face each other across the kitchen table and say, ’Can this be the relationship that’s my primary source of enjoyment as we go forward?”’ Also, says Katz, older people have expectations for their relationships now that previous generations may not have. “Even a couple of decades ago, people didn’t have the same expectations of love and intimacy at a later age,” she says. It’s significant that Al and Tipper Gore married in 1970, notes Stephanie Coontz, author of “Marriage, A History,” and professor of family studies at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash. Marriages in the late ’60s and ’70s are marked by higher divorce rates than those of later years, she says. Why? Partly because people still married very young. (Tipper Gore was 21 and Al Gore 22 when they wed.) The two are now 61 and 62, with decades of health, seemingly, ahead of them. “The idea used to be that by our sixties, life was pretty much over anyway,” says Coontz. “But today, people who reach 65 are likely to have another 20 years ahead. So it makes the calculus of living in an unhappy marriage even harder to take.” Plus, with longer life expectancies, there are more potential new partners out there — “what we call a thicker remarriage market,” Coontz says. A 2004 study on divorce conducted by AARP seemed to bear that out, finding that three-quarters of women in their 50s and more than 80 percent of men reported having a serious relationship after their divorce — often within two years. The U.S. Census Bureau does not

MOMENT OF TRUTH
Perfect gentlemen Y
ou’ve heard of it by now. The perfect game that wasn’t. Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga mowed down 26 straight Cleveland Indians hitters Wednesday night, while his Tiger teammates were playing flawlessly behind him. But his chance for a perfect game ended on the 27th batter and a botched call at first by veteran umpire Jim Joyce. Joyce acknowledged after the game — after seeing a video replay — that he missed the close play at first. “I just cost that kid a perfect game,” ASSOCIATED PRESS a distraught Joyce Umpire Jim Joyce said. It has been the talk at watercoolers ever since. Thursday afternoon, before the Tigers’ day game, General Motors presented Galarraga with a 2010 Corvette for the previous night’s gem. Michigan’s governor — by the authority vested in a governor, apparently — declared Galarraga the owner of a perfect game, even if Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig would not. The White House even weighed in, with spokesman Robert Gibson saying the ump’s ruling should be reversed. (Although the president can veto an act of Congress, his powers don’t extend to disputed baseball calls. But perhaps he will invite Galarraga and Joyce to join him for a Rose Garden beer.) Listen to the talk around the office, as well as the discussion on sports broadcasts, and a common theme emerges: People talked about how much they admired both Joyce and Galarraga. The lesson here, of course, is good sportsmanship. Joyce owned up to a mistake on a bangbang play. He also sought out Galarraga in the clubhouse after the game and personally apologized. This is rare for umpires — against their code, so to speak. And Galarraga conducted himself like a gentleman on the field after the call, staying out of the heated arguments. He also showed tremendous civility in the clubhouse after seeing the replay and realizing that he truly did pitch a perfect game, though baseball will never recognize it as such. What does being a class act get you? For Joyce, it will allow him to continue as one of the game’s more respected umpires. For Galarraga, well, he’s driving a Corvette and earning proclamations from the governor. As a sincere Galarraga told reporters after Joyce’s apology: “Nobody’s perfect.”

But a single mother of two, Gina Frutig, penetrated the budget tedium recently in Raleigh and put a face on the budget cuts elected leaders sometimes make, according to the Associated Press. House budget writers had already heard dozens of speakers, but they paid attention when Frutig made her impassioned, two-minute presentation. The 29-year-old teaches fourth grade at R.N. Harris Elementary School in Durham — at the moment. Like some of Rowan County’s teachers, she has received a pink slip for next fall in anticipation of state budget cuts. Here are excerpts from the AP’s report: “I am a North Carolina public school teacher. I educate children. I am unemployed,” she said at the close of the three-hour hearing, long after the TV news cameras had left. “My students need me in the

Frutig told lawmakers that she had signed up daughter Julia and son Charlie for Medicaid because she’ll be out of work next week, losing her $35,200 salary. She said she got rid of cable television when she didn’t have enough food for her family. She spent her savings to get her car repairs in April and went to a free museum and stayed at friends’ homes for vacation. ... “The purpose of a public hearing is to put real faces and real people out front. That was a great example of it,” said House Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange, who heard Frutig speak. “It was sort of an electric moment.” There are a lot of Gina Frutigs out there this year.

The Rowan County Board of Commissioners is holding a public hearing 6 p.m. Monday on its proposed budget for 2010-11, which has a General Fund of $127 million. The final vote is still two weeks away, and the board will have another budget work session before that. But this hearing is important. So far there’s been little to no discussion of raising the property tax rate, now 59.5 cents per $100 of valuation. Instead, the question seems to be how deep commissioners are willing to dip into the county’s $22 million fund balance. It’s a valuable cushion. One of the big issues is the school system’s request for a $3 million increase. So far the budget includes $32.1 million for the schools, the same as last year. Some teachers may be there, pleading their case — plus administrators, parents and others. This issue alone could define the difference between the two runoff candidates. They’ll cast their final budget vote June 21 — the day before the voters have their say in the primary runoff. The timing could not be better. • • • Elizabeth Cook is editor of the Salisbury Post.

Larry Bell provides motivation, training T
he Rowan-Salisbury School System has faced the challenge for many years of raising expectations for our staff and students and motivating them to achieve to their potential. As administrators discussed what the school system could do to meet this challenge, one name continued to be mentioned — Larry Bell. Larry Bell is an inspirational educator and national speaker. Mr. Bell JUDY travels the GRISSOM world presenting his “Closing the Achievement Gap” and “The Power of a Teacher Through High Expectations” seminars, which focus on practical ideas for improving test scores while raising expectations and motivating students to achieve success. What a difference just one person can make! Because the Rowan-Salisbury School System has been in District Improvement under the No Child Left Behind legislation, a specified amount of Title I federal funds must be spent on professional development that is research-based. Funds that are not spent on districtwide training cannot be used for any other purpose. These funds were appropriate to use in bringing Mr. Bell to

Larry Bell spent four days in the school system during the 2008-2009 school year and 16 days in the school system during the 2009-2010 school year. He conducted a full-day training session for 65 principals and administrators. At each school level, a team of five to six staff members were selected to spend one day and
one half-day with Mr. Bell — a total of 180 school-based staff. Each school team coordinated activities at their individual school based on the presentation. Mr. Bell made over 70 presentations at 23 different schools reaching approximately 2,400 staff members. His topic “Power of a Teacher” is inspirational and practical. He made 14 different presentations directly to almost 4,000 students. Curriculum coaches, curriculum directors, members of the Closing the Gap committee, and teacher education candidates at Livingstone and Catawba colleges have benefited from working closely with Mr. Bell. Students and teachers have been excited about integrating the “12 Powerful Words” and “U-N-R-A-A-V-E-L” strategies in classrooms on a daily basis. The “12 Powerful Words” are words that stump students when completing reading and math assignments or answering questions on standardized tests. Words such as trace, analyze, infer, evaluate, formulate, describe, support, explain, summarize, compare, contrast and predict may cause students to be confused about what the problem is asking them to do. U-N-R-A-A-V-E-L (yes, there are two “A’s”) teaches students the skills for “breaking apart” a lesson or problem. Each letter stands for a strate-
gy for students to use in reading and math activities. Students know how to solve difficult math problems by using the steps to math unravel. Reading passages are clearer to students as they use the reading unravel process. Students in every school created unique ways to internalize the strategies. Some schools wrote cheers, songs, raps or their own poems; others developed unique incentives to help students learn the strategies. Not only are they singing the songs and reciting the rhymes, but also students are using the strategies regularly in their schoolwork. Mr. Bell believes that our schools have “at promise” students, not “at-risk” students. He believes that teachers have the most incredible opportunity to make a difference in the lives of their students. Mr. Bell has been impressed with our school district and a number of works created by our students are now included in his presentations to other systems. Teachers have seen a definite improvement in student work because of using the Larry Bell strategies. The Rowan-Salisbury School System has been fortunate to have Mr. Bell in our school system to help our students become more academically successful. • • • Dr. Judy Grissom is superintendent of the Rowan-Salisbury School System.

‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’ and reality S

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has ignited discussion about the meaning of feminism.
Is Sarah Palin a real feminist? E
ver since former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin started re-versioning herself as a conservative feminist last month (in a speech before the infamously-conservative women’s group, the Susan B. Anthony List) she has ignited a firestorm of discussion online on the meaning of feminism and whether Sarah Palin can claim membership in that club or not. To me, the most interesting take was written by feministing.com’s Jessica Valenti in an Op-Ed in the Washington Post this past week. BONNIE Valenti, as a card-carrying liberal feminist herERBE self, opines as how Palin is not a feminist because Palin doesn’t support government policies that help women: abortion rights, access to birth control, pay equity and so on. Nor, says Valenti, has Palin engaged in any academic feminism, investigating such issues as “patriarchic norms” or “systemic inequities.” Valenti calls Palin a “fake” feminist who is adopting the mantra as part of a political “strategy” and who consequently is making the term “meaningless” because one cannot support conservative (and implied, anti-female) ideologies and be a feminist at the same time. Let me say, as I always do when writing on this complicated topic, that I am not a feminist. Labels make me nervous and I toe no ideological line. I have devoted my life to advancing women’s rights (as well as several other issues) but I do not subscribe to the complete feminist agenda and therefore do not qualify as one. That said, I thank my feminist foremothers for blazing the path for me and other women as well. I would like to point out that whether someone buys every item on the feminist shopping list or not, one may still be able to comment intelligently on things that both sides are missing in this debate. First, I agree with Jessica Valenti that it’s nigh onto impossible for a conservative ideologue to be a feminist. Beyond that, it’s rather bizarre that a conservative woman would want to adopt the mantra, given that other conservatives have trashed the label for decades. Remember Rush Limbaugh and “femi-nazis?” Second, conservatives are traditionalists. Traditional women, for the most part, adopt traditional roles including staying home full time, raising the children and being homemakers. So far as I know, women never suffered gender bias in that role. There was never genderbased bias against homemaking as there was and continues to be gender-based bias against career women in the work place. No law has ever been adopted saying women may not stay home full-time. There used to be laws saying women were the chattels of men or that women could not vote and that employers could pay women workers less than men. It took a political movement, called feminism, to overturn those laws. Sarah Palin exhorts her “Mama Grizzlies” to get involved in politics to lobby on issues that matter to them and their families, like lowering taxes. Lower taxes are of greater concern to people making higher incomes and leaning less frequently on government programs. Married white women, the wealthiest cohort of women voters, tend to vote Republican. Why? They are more concerned about raising their own family’s disposable income by lowering taxes than they are about increasing federal funding for daycare or other programs that poor women rely upon, and thereby raising taxes overall. Sarah Palin is doing an extraordinary job of trying to energize unhappy Republican women voters with her new feminist label. Whether that energy will last through November’s elections will have more to do with whether the economy turns around than anything Sarah Palin can do. Liberal feminists, on the other hand, should take a page from conservative women’s notebooks and recognize they will help more women by advising them to get educated and not have children out of wedlock than they will lobbying for subsidized day care. So as far as I’m concerned, each side in this debate can learn a little bit from each other. • • • Bonnie Erbe is a TV host and writes this column for Scripps Howard News Service.
eventeen years ago, when Colin Powell was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he declared that “open homosexuality” was “incompatible” with military service. At the time, he was defending the policy of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” which forced gay and lesbian soldiers to hide their sexuality or leave the service. But now he thinks STEVE & COKIE ROBERTS that policy should be repealed. “Today we’ve changed,” he told ABC’s “This Week.” “The country has changed.” Powell is right. When it comes to sexual orientation, this is a far more open and tolerant country. It’s time to end a policy that has ended the careers of 13,000 homosexual troops, and forced countless others to live a lie while defending our security. The House has passed a bill that would eliminate “don’t ask, don’t tell” after the Pentagon completes a study of the issue next December. A Senate committee has passed a similar measure (attached to the defense funding bill) but it still faces a rocky legislative road. A small but vocal chorus of Christian conservatives continues to oppose any change in current law, and they are strongly supported by some orthodox military chaplains who believe homosexuality is a sin. As a result, only five House Republicans backed repeal on the floor and only one Senate Republican supported it in committee. A filibuster is looming, and with time running out in the legislative session, repeal could get trampled in the rush for the exits. That would be wrong. The American people — including rank-and-file Republicans — know the current policy is deeply unfair. Christian conservatives have a right to their opinion, but they don’t have a right to impose their narrowminded view of homosexuality on the rest of the country. In the latest ABC/Washington Post survey, 75 percent of

A recent survey shows that 75 percent of Americans favor a military that includes openly gay and lesbian troops. Americans favor a military that includes openly gay and lesbian troops. That’s up from 44 percent in 1993, a swift and stunning shift, but the change is even greater among two key groups. Eighty-four percent of women favor ditching “don’t ask, don’t tell,” and for young people under 30, the rate is 81 percent. Even among Republicans, 64 percent back repeal. The reason is reality. Most Americans know and like openly gay people in their schools, their workplaces, their neighborhoods and their own families. Our grandsons play on a Little League team with a child who has two dads. Steve has a half-dozen former students living in loving, committed samesex relationships. That’s America, folks. And remember: We have an all-volunteer army. Those 13,000 troops who were kicked out over the past 17 years chose to serve their country. We should be thanking them, not trashing them. A change in policy does pose real challenges on issues like domestic partnerships and base housing. And the military
should respect the sensibilities of serving soldiers and their families during the transition. But two other issues raised by critics are not legitimate. The first is “unit cohesion” or “troop morale.” About 30 other countries, including most of our NATO allies, allow gays to serve openly, and we are told that in private conversations with Pentagon officials, these allies have sent a strong, uniform message: Your fears are unfounded; the impact has been minimal. That leaves the Religious Right and their allies in the chaplain corps. They have tried to frame this as a free-speech issue, arguing that chaplains who believe homosexuality is morally wrong will be forced into silence. As 41 retired chaplains asserted in a recent letter, “Chaplains will confront a profoundly difficult morale choice: whether they are to obey God or to obey man.” Ringing words, but false ones. As three other retired chaplains said in their own letter: “Under such a theory, President Truman would have been unable to integrate blacks into
New cybersecurity worries BY ANN MCFEATTERS

ASHINGTON — The four-star general newly in charge of the nation’s cybersecurity loves his new iPad. His four daughters are Internet wizards. His 12 grandchildren are certain to share their mothers’ passion. And therein lies the rub. We thought we had enough to worry about with the Gulf oil spill, the immigration debate, Iranian nukes, North Korean aggression, Israeli aggression, the struggling economy and heartbreaking baseball calls. But, oh no, there’s more. Not only are stateless cybercriminals probing 24/7 for our country’s top-secret information and intellectual property, but the demand for Internet access and computing power is growing exponentially. Gen. Keith Alexander, who is in charge of the National Security Agency, was just confirmed as the first U.S. cybersecurity commander. That’s the good news — the federal government finally instituted a central command. Considering that the military has to protect 7 million computers a day, it’s about time. The bad news is that there are now an estimated 247 billion e-mail messages a day worldwide. (“Two-hundred billion of them are spam, and I know because I get a lot of them in my home e-mail,” jests the general). Custom-built malware is now able to reach every institution. Cybercriminals are limited only by time and resources in the havoc they can wreak. Ten years ago, the major problem was exploited data; now government operations can be and are being sabotaged. Alexander says the proceeds from cybercrime now exceed the ill-gotten gains of illegal drug-trafficking. To make matters worse, the U.S. is still on Internet Protocol version 4, not IPv6, which has more addresses and is not filling up as fast as IPv4. (Typical Alexander joke: “Some want to try out IPv5 first?” There is no IPv5.) Alexander worries about the enemy co-opting control of computer commands in real-time battlefield operations, increasing the urgency for clear rules of engagement. He worries about the ongoing theft of American data and technological ingenuity. He worries about the threat to global American businesses. He also worries about the loss of personal privacy and civil liberties as the military gains access to everything we do on computers. He spends a lot of time with lawyers and in court trying to pave new ground without clear-cutting our privacy.
Gen. Keith Alexander is the nation’s first cybersecurity commander. The key to protecting privacy, Alexander ironically says, is transparency — congressional oversight committees must be kept aware of everything the cybersecurity command is doing, without compromising security or letting the enemy know what protections are in place. He says he is confident the system is working well because “we have superb people.” He is definitely worried about the future. The best and the brightest were lured into the new command because it was considered a prestigious new institution. But as time goes by, recruiting top people for arcane government posts is not easy. Alexander also favors an international treaty for cybersecurity, but concedes the big problem will not be in agreeing on rules but enforcing them equally. He wants enhanced partnerships among U.S. government agencies, such as the Department of Commerce, the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security. And he worries that much of the military’s computing capability is in the hands of the private sector. Alexander now has the authority to launch attacks against enemy computer networks. That, of course, raises a lot of questions about the scope and ultimate authorities of the command, questions that Alexander and members of Congress have yet to answer. The general did tell Congress that his new iPad is “wonderful,” although some experts say iPads have significant security vulnerabilities. Here’s hoping he has the latest security — complex pass codes, a locking mechanism to thwart thieves, no capture of screenshots. And, of course, he must be careful about visiting suspect Web sites, opening e-mail attachments and getting on YouTube with his daughters and grandchildren. • • • Scripps Howard columnist Ann McFeatters has covered the White House and national politics since 1986.
the armed forces, for many chaplains then believed that integration was sinful, and against God’s wishes.” In a more basic sense, they added, the critics of repeal misunderstand the role of military chaplains, who “are trained to be pluralistic (and) to minister within the military’s pluralistic and multicultural setting.” Chaplains swear to uphold the Constitution, and “the Bible does not trump the Constitution.” We have many bibles, many scriptures, many faiths in this country, but only one Constitution. Vast majorities now agree that the equal rights ordained by that document bar discrimination based on sexual orientation. The country has changed, for the better. “Don’t ask, don’t tell” served a purpose for its time, but that time is over. • • • Steve Roberts’ new book, “From Every End of This Earth” (HarperCollins), was published last fall.

LETTERS Gulf oil spill is a crime The destruction of our environment by petroleum companies is a crime against humanity. There is no valid justification, and any legislation that prevents prosecution of those responsible for this catastrophe must be rectified immediately. Those members of Congress who introduced and who supported the introduction of such safety valves to protect these criminals must be held responsible of complicity in the destruction of our planet. Their names must be made known to the public in connection with the limitations introduced in the law to protect criminals like them. — Miguel Reinoso Salisbury
RCCC’s funding request One of the oldest public entity budgeting tricks is to avoid plant maintenance and use available funds for goodies that the public may not support. Then when the place starts to fall apart, cry “emergency” and demand special funding over and above the budget. Concrete crumbles and the roof leaks over time. The administrators of RCCC knew this was coming, but they chose to hire new staff and make other status-enhancing purchases rather than pay for needed repairs. One excuse they use is increased enrollment. It is difficult to believe that more students would cause the concrete to crumble faster. They certainly couldn’t cause the roof to leak faster. What increased enrollment does is increase college funds, from both tuition and government support. Increased enrollment increases costs, but anyone familiar with college funding knows that the increased funding far exceeds increased costs. This increased funding could have been spent on maintenance, but it was more fun to spend it on exotica. RCCC has at least twice as many administrators as a college of its size needs. I would welcome the opportunity to demonstrate this to the college board or the Post editorial board. The answer is simple. Eliminate a dozen or so superfluous administrators (starting with the new Dean of Miscellany). Among those eliminated should be people responsible for playing games with the college budget. The resulting pool of money could quickly retire any bonds needed to make necessary repairs. — Joe Roberts Salisbury

SPLIT FROM 1D
tabulate divorce rates for specific age groups. But Stevenson points to its 2008 American Community Survey, which asked people if they had divorced in the past year. Among those who said that they had, a quarter had married more than 20 years earlier. “It’s not inconceivable that people’s desires, preferences and interests would have changed enough over 40 years that they’d decide they’d be better off splitting up,” says Stevenson. After losing the 2000 presidential race, Al Gore carved out a post-politics career that has taken him around the globe. His campaign to draw attention to climate change led to a 2007 Nobel Peace Prize and an Oscar for the documentary “An Inconvenient Truth.” During those years, Tipper Gore has been said to have focused on her photography. Despite the apparent divergence in the Gores’ interests and lifestyles, some might ask whether a marriage that lasted 40 years can ever be called a failure. Stevenson, of the Wharton School, is one of them. “People see this as sad, but I don’t see how we can look at a 40-year marriage and say it’s a failure,” she says. “It’s really tough to make it to 70 years! The Gores obviously had a lot of successes.” Still, some were asking, how could a marriage be troubled and appear so outwardly successful? And what about that kiss? Maybe, as the cynics said at the time, it was a smacker calculated to paint as broad a contrast as possible between the Gores and the Clintons, whose marriage was tainted in the public eye by the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Or maybe it tells us nothing at all. “It’s possible they could have been growing apart by then and just have been feel-
ing that exhilaration of the moment,” notes Coontz. “Or, they could have started growing apart after that.” Whatever made the Gores drift apart, the silver lining may be that at this stage in life, splits can often be much more amicable. “I’ve seen couples at 40 years who are quite gracious
with each other,” says Katz. “They realize they just don’t have that intimate partnership anymore — or maybe they realize they never had it. “But it can be a very respectful parting of ways. As people get older, their capacity for reflection grows.” Which means we may
never see the uncomfortable Oprah interview, as in the Edwards marriage, or the cringe-worthy public ramblings of a Gov. Mark Sanford. Which is a good thing. Because, as Katz says, “They’re going to be showing up at the same events for years.”
A travesty in Phoenix W
ASHINGTON — Over the years I have tried to avoid writing about two subjects, the trials and tribulations of the Catholic Church and the almost irrationally emotional issue of abortion. I see no percentage as a protestant in attacking the roots of another’s faith even though the actions of some of its clergy and those DAN THOMASSON overseeing the policies that caused them were almost inconceivable. As for abortion, I strongly believe every woman must make her own decision. But there is a time when an act becomes so grievously wrong that it can’t be ignored and demands that every caring, thinking person speak out forcefully. Unfortunately the incident I am referring to involves both issues — a scandalous and unreasoning church hierarchy on automatic pilot and the desperate need to terminate an 11week old pregnancy and the huge injustice that resulted to one of God’s more faithful servants. Late last year a mother of five was admitted to the St. Joseph Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix. She was near the end of her first trimester of pregnancy and was desperately ill, according to all accounts. The right side of her heart had stopped functioning. The diagnosis was unanimous from the examining medical team. She would not live if she did not terminate the pregnancy immediately and have heart surgery. But this was a Catholic hospital and that involved bringing the non-medical administration into the picture. Her illness was such that even transferring her to a non-Catholic hospital was out of the question. The lead administrator in this case was Sister Margaret McBride, a distinguished and highly regarded member of the Sisters of Mercy, who had spent her life in unblemished service to others. She was and is, by all reports, truly what her order calls itself. After praying over the matter in the truest sense of the expression, she could come to only one conclusion: The abortion must be performed. The mother would die otherwise, taking the fetus with her. She gave permission for the termination. The mother lived to return
to her children. Sister Margaret was backed up by Directive 47 that provides for just this kind of situation, allowing the ending of a pregnancy if the mother’s life clearly is at issue. Nevertheless, Bishop Thomas Olmsted of the Phoenix diocese severely disagreed with Sister Margaret’s decision and “automatically” excommunicated her for permitting an abortion in a Catholic hospital. It means, among other things, she cannot be given communion or take part in any of the other sacraments. In other words, she has been summarily kicked out of her church although she was permitted to stay on at the hospital in a reduced capacity. Olmsted’s act has not only brought general condemnation, it also has added to the increasingly tattered image of a church already under siege for its blatant disregard of a pattern of sexual abuse by priests. It has been noted that none of those accused of pedophilia and other transgressions in the priesthood had received the ultimate punishment meted out by this doctrinaire bishop to Sister Margaret. Furthermore, Olmsted has verified in no uncertain terms what many Catholic women have been asserting — that in the eyes of the church, even in this enlightened age, women are not treated with the same deference as men. The nuns who perform so diligently many of the church’s services are essentially second-class citizens. It is the reason that modern women steeped in the religion have decided against devoting their lives to the institution, leaving the church shorthanded in carrying out its mission. Every member of Sister Margaret’s faith and even those who aren’t should rise up in anger at this travesty, sign the petitions now being spread on the Internet to overturn this blind obedience to doctrine and carry the entire matter to Rome if all else fails. Obviously, the bishop by this step has brought into question his own fitness for the position. An institution so burdened by almost daily scandals can ill afford to ignore such a lack of judgment and callous disregard for fairness and compassion in those it elevates to its highest offices. • • • E-mail Dan K.

Memoirs to music at Literary Bookpost Literary Bookpost will host a range of local authors this week. First up, on Wednesday, beginning at 3:30 p.m., Salisbury native De An Simmons (this is a pseudonym) will visit for a signing of her just released memoir, “The Brewers Brew that Overflowed.” We derive from the book jacket and information Simmons, now a grandmother to Jeffrey, has provided the following about this anonymous author: “Loyally, each day, she tries to possess godly qualities such as love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control and fruitage of the spirit. Yet she is simply a Salisburian at heart, born in the city of Salisbury, raised in a strong middle-class family who endured it all — tragedy and joyful times. Many years of work at the library led her to pursue her desire to become an author and write about a subject that would definitely help someone. Although it took three years to write her story, she says, ‘Don’t ever give up on your pursuit, but make it real.’ Her children, now grown and abroad, leaves her with no regrets, ‘only grand memories and love for each one.’ Once the reader reads this story, he or she will fully understand what inherited mania really is! Enjoy her story.” Perhaps only by coming to this event on Wednesday at Literary Bookpost will the reader, or the curiosity seeker, find out just who this local author is.
Lyrics and a little music On Saturday, June 12, beginning at 3:30 p.m., Patrick Frank from Kingstree, S.C., comes to the Bookpost with music and lyrics. Frank has recently released a book, “On the Blue Ridge Line: A Collection of Country-FolkBlues Lyrics, with an Exploration of the C r e a t i v e Process,” which will be available for sale and signing. Frank will talk to those interested about the c r e a t i v e process and how it relates to music lyrics. At the present time, Frank hopes to be joined by a guitar accompanist to provide his audience with a bit of live music during his event. Frank is a poet-essayist-songwriter, teachercounselor, and advocate for the poor. He grew up in Florida, but spent 20 years in New England prior to becoming a South Carolinian. His work has been published in more than 70 journal articles and three anthologies. Frank and his wife Linda, a school psychologist and crafter, have three adult children between them.

SALISBURY POST
Join the 2010 Summer Reading Challenge It’s that time again. Summer — at least it feels like summer, so that means it’s time for the Summer Reading Challenge. Now in its seventh year, a few changes have been made. Barbara Setzer, who started the challenge and spearheaded it for the last six years, has stepped back and a committee has taken over the project. Rowan Public Library and Waterworks Visual Arts Center are are working together to plan and carry out the event. And lots of other people and businesses are DEIRDRE too. PARKER SMITH helping, A committee formed this year to choose a theme and books. Committee members included Rebecca Hyde, Betty Moore and Gretchen Beilfuss Witt from the library, Setzer, Deal Safrit of Literary Bookpost, Sarah Hall of Center for Faith and the Arts, and me, your lowly book reviewer. During discussion of recent books and events in the world, a theme quickly emerged — is humanity being swallowed by technology and the demands of a fast-paced world? We talked about how some things in modern society seemed to be dehumanizing and and how to reconnect. We talked recent books that addressed that and books that people may know or books that people may not have seen in the light of our theme. We tossed around “being human” and “human versus the machine” and “humanity,” until someone said, “the art of being human.” So that’s our theme, The Art of Being Human, and it was inspired by two non-fiction books. “Distracted: The Erosion of Attention and the Coming Dark Age,” is by Maggie Jackson, who writes the “Balancing Acts” column in the Boston Globe. Her book is about multitasking, “How did we get to the point where we keep one eye on our Blackberry and one eye on our spouse — in bed,” the blurb on the back of the book reads. “We can contact millions of people worldwide, so why is it hard to schedule a simple family dinner together? What can we do about it?” The next book that came up
was “Unsuspecting Souls: The Disappearance of the Human Being,” by Barry Sanders. His book examines “modern society’s indifference to the individual.” He maintains it started with the Industrial Revolution and the treatment of employees and continues today with societal networks that don’t actually require face-toface communication. Now, if those two sound tough, don’t worry. “Distracted” is a mere 268 pages if you skip the footnotes and index. “Unsuspecting Souls” is 338 pages, minus footnotes and index. But footnotes can lead you to other reading on the topics, so don’t completely ignore them. We picked two books of fiction, one recent, one a classic. “Frankenstein,” by Mary Shelley, is the classic. No, it isn’t just a horror story. It’s a look at the limits of human creativity and humanity itself. A bestseller when it came out in 1818, the book remains one of the most recognized pieces of English literature. This one is not big, either. Just 265 pages in the Penguin Classics version, with footnotes that follow.
Yes, the language is not what you hear on television. It has a grace and formality that takes you through the story at a measured pace. Finally, in looking for a recent novel, we chose “Olive Kitteridge,” by Elizabeth Strout. Now it’s a collection of stories, but all include Olive, a woman who is hard to love, or even like. But she clearly shows the many facets of being human, all too human, and her situations, though fictional, certainly represent choices we make every day. The other good thing about this year’s books: All are available in trade paperback, and “Frankenstein” is floating around in all sorts of editions. The best thing in these tough economic times is all will be available at Rowan Public Library. “The library is taking a stronger role in it,” said Melody Moxley. Always part of the challenge, it seemed natural for the library to take on the tough work of coordinating the program. Among the sponsors are those who have been involved from the beginning — Water-
works Visual Arts Center, Trinity Oaks, F&M Bank, Friends of Rowan Public Library, Catawba College, Literary Bookpost, Salisbury Post and Livingstone College. Moxley said funding remains stable, despite the economy, showing that the community still supports programs such as the challenge. On Oct. 12, a panel discussion will wrap up the summer’s reading, with all local members. • “Frankenstein” — Dr. David Schroeder, assistant professor of English at Catawba College. • “Olive Kitteridge” — Dr. Sheila Brownlow, professor of psychology at Catawba. • “Distracted” — Dr. Michael Bitzer, associate professor of political science and history at Catawba. • “Unsuspecting Souls” — Dr. André Resner, professor of homeletics and church worship of Hood Theological Seminary. • Moderator is Dr. Kurt Corriher, professor of acting, dramatic literature and film criticism at Catawba. The discussion will be Oct. 12 at 6 p.m., starting with a reception at Waterworks, courtesy of Trinity Oaks, followed by the panel in the F&M Trolley Barn. A play and film tie in to the theme. The library will show the 1931 version of “Frankenstein” this summer. The play, “Vesta,” will be presented by the St. Thomas Players of Center for Faith and the Arts. Rowan Regional Medical Center Hospice had approached the group about the play, and is sponsoring it. It deals with end-of-life issues. Duke’s Institute on Care at the End of Life offers the play to help promote understanding. It will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 14 and 15 and 2 p.m. Sept. 19 at Looking Glass Artist Collective Black Box Theater, 405 N. Lee St. Moxley says she likes the thought of people reading together and hopes it brings the community together. “I like having a dramatic production that ties in.” As always, if you read some of the books, all of the books or none of the books, you are welcome at the reception and discussion. Stay tuned to the book page, our website and the library’s website, www.rowanpubliclibrary.org.
Come to the library and browse the shelves for a while BY PAUL BIRKHEAD Rowan Public Library
For a book lover like me, there’s nothing quite like browsing the stacks at Rowan Public Library. I get the same feeling at bookstores, but it’s usually accompanied by feelings of guilt for spending an inordinate amount of time sampling and not buying. The library is tough to beat because borrowing books on a wide variety of subjects doesn’t cost me a penny. Just the other day, I found myself exploring the new non-fiction shelves at the library, and here are some books I just had to take home with me. “The Letter and the Scroll: What Archaeology Tells Us about the Bible” is a fascinating book published by the National Geographic Society. The book is divided into chapters which cover major eras in biblical history. While the book’s authors are careful to state that their purpose is neither to prove nor disprove the Bible, anyone interested in the Bible or ancient times is sure to be impressed by the content. As is typical in National Geographic publications, the book is filled with a generous number of beautiful maps and illustrations as well as stunning photographs of priceless artifacts and archaeological finds. In “Sweet Carolina: Favorite Desserts and Candies from the Old North State,” author Foy
Allen Edelman presents a collection of recipes she compiled from the kitchens of North Carolinians. Over the course of several years, Edelman traveled across her home state interviewing cooks from dozens of communities. Often, she was able to procure the recipe for their signature dessert. The result is a mouthwatering collection of recipes for pies, cakes, cookies, cobblers and even a sonker or two. If you decide to leave the confines of North Carolina and head, with kids in tow, to Washington, D.C., you might find this book interesting. The newest edition of “Washington, D.C. with Kids,” published by Fodor’s, is a comprehensive tour guide. This book does a good job of guiding visitors to must-see exhibits, monuments, and historic sites. Symbols in the book designate specific things to note, such as Helpful Hints, Smart Stuff, as well as Money-Saving and TimeSaving Tips. Items of interest to “Tweens and Teens” and even those of “All Ages” are also found for most attractions. The final book that caught my attention was “Letters to Jackie: Condolences from a Grieving Nation.” The cover of the book is graced by the smiling faces of John and Jackie Kennedy taken from a photograph made shortly after their arrival in Texas. Little did anyone know what horrors lay ahead for them and the
nation. The assassination of President Kennedy in Dallas unleashed a whirlwind of sympathy for his widow. In the course of seven weeks, Mrs. Kennedy received nearly a million condolence letters. A large collection of these letters was kept and has been stored for years, largely unexamined, in the archives of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library. In “Letters to Jackie, “historian Ellen Fitzpatrick selected 250 letters she felt compelling. In these, ordinary Americans sought to relay their sympathies to the late president’s wife and perhaps come to grips with their own grief. No matter what subjects might interest you, come to the Rowan Public Library, and I’m sure you’ll find many books that will catch your eye. Be forewarned, though, simply browsing the shelves of our newest acquisitions can result in walking out the door with a whole armload. Computer classes: Classes are free. Sessions are approximately 90 minutes. Class size is limited and on a first-come, firstserve basis. Dates and times at all locations are subject to change without notice. Headquarters — June 21, 7 p.m., Intermediate Excel; June 29, 1:30 p.m., Beginners Internet. East — Thursday, 1 p.m., Intermediate Excel.

Children’s program: This summer, the library invites kids to Make a Splash and join the library for a summer of programs and great reads. The kick-off will be Thursday, from 3:30-5 p.m. at the South Rowan Regional location in China Grove; Friday, 1:30-3 p.m. at the East Branch in Rockwell; and Saturday, June 12, 10 a.m.-noon at RPL headquarters in Salisbury. Weekly programs begin on June 14 and run until July 29. Calling all Teens: Make Waves @ Rowan Public Library.

Programs will be on Mondays from 5:30-7 p.m. at East Branch in Rockwell; Tuesdays, 5:30-7 p.m. at headquarters; Thursdays, 3:30-5 p.m. at South Rowan Regional in China Grove. Parent and Family Reading Workshops: RPL, Smart Start Rowan and Salisbury-Rowan Reads are sponsoring reading workshops for parents of children ages 0-5. These free, interactive workshops will help parents learn the skills to encourage a love of reading in their children. Registration is required and space is limited. Call your local branch to register or 704-2168234 for more information. A free book will be given to each workshop family. Workshops are 5:30-6:30 p.m.
Author tells life story in hope of showing others how to learn and thrive “Don’t Curse Your Wedding Bed Before You Say ‘I Do’ ” tells the life story of author Tara White of Salisbury. “This is my life story — this book is a true testament to God’s grace from someone who has experienced it personally,” she said. In the book, White makes the case that family dynamics, social and cultural influences, life events, painful childhood experiences and divine intervention all relate and can impact a marriage and relationships. White had a child out of wedlock,
and a rocky relationship. The couple married a few years later but White took their infant daughter and moved back in with her parents. It was during this separa- WHITE tion that both realized they needed each other. “The book will provide you with deep insight on how to survive the battering storms of life better than ever,” said White.
“Don’t Curse Your Wedding Bed Before You Say ‘I Do’” can be ordered for $15 plus $4 shipping through www.wpublishers. com or www.weddingbed.net White is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew I.D. Harris, wife of Tito White and mother of Tianca Diane White. She graduated from North Rowan High School and Livingstone College. She interned with the Department of Social Services. She has been a supported employment coordinator for vocational opportunities and a so-
cial worker for maternity care coordination and child service coordination at the Rowan County Health Department. White, her husband and sister started a residential treatment facility for children, Quality Care Developmental Services Inc. She received the Humanitarian Award from the W.G. “Bill” Hefner VA Medical Center for her work with families and children. She will sell and sign books Saturday, June 12, at Antioch Missionary Baptist Church, 602 Aunoth Ave., Granite Quarry, at 4 p.m.

SALISBURY POST
North Carolina lawmakers taking a fiscal gamble R
ALEIGH – North Carolina has more government than North Carolina taxpayers can or wish to finance. That’s the fundamental cause of the state’s continuing budget woes — not the mortgage crisis, or misbehavior on Wall Street, or the misdeeds of George W. Bush or Barack Obama. The economic downturn of 2008JOHN 09 may have HOOD triggered the state’s fiscal deficits. But the structural problem predated the recession. State and local government in North Carolina has grown rapidly during boom times. In the two decades leading up to the 2009-10 budget crisis, for example, state spending alone grew by 41 percent after adjusting for inflation and population growth. During economic busts, spending growth has slackened or even ceased for a time, but has never been significantly rolled back. Instead, governors and legislators have raised taxes to finance their past spending in-
creases. As a result, the size and scope of North Carolina government has ratcheted ever upward. Furthermore, contrary to the letter and intent of the state constitution, North Carolina policymakers have borrowed money without a public referendum to pay for budget items previously funded by current state revenue or general-obligation bonds. Their tactics have included certificates of participation (COPs), revenue bonds, tax-increment financing and tapping the federal government’s borrowing capacity through various stimulus and bailout funds. Both the Senate and House versions of the 2010-11 state budget would continue these practices. They would rely on some $3 billion in unwise and unsustainable fiscal policies, including federal bailouts and last year’s “temporary” tax increases. Legislative leaders may try to spin this budget as fiscally conservative, which does damage not just to North Carolina’s fiscal posture but also to the English language. There is nothing fiscally conservative about shoving a ramshackle budget through the General Assembly that assumes $3 billion worth of
new taxes or federal borrowing in 2011 to finance the level of spending set in 2010. There is nothing fiscally conservative about compounding such a mistake with $450 million in new COPs debt, as the Senate is in the process of approving. And there is nothing fiscally conservative about doing all this while ignoring North Carolina’s other fiscal time bombs, such as both short-term and long-term holes in the state’s health plan for current and retired teachers and state employees that will require the infusion of billions of additional tax dollars. Yes, you read that right. The state’s unfunded liability for retiree health benefits is nearly $30 billion. I know, I know — the official line is that 2010 isn’t the year to start addressing these problems. We’re in an election year and still slogging through the end of a deep recession. Wait until next year, we’re told. Only, we’ve been told that before. Repeatedly. The fabled “next year” for forging a sensible long-term fiscal plan for the state inevitably turns into a “this year” of shortterm thinking and political gamesmanship. Rather than simply play-
ing their usual roles in this drama, legislative leaders should have tried something new. Instead of passing a $20 billion-plus budget with a guaranteed $3 billion hole in 2011, they should have pulled actual spending down below $19 billion, reducing next year’s deficit and giving themselves more room to maneuver. Then, during the 2011 session, they should have set a goal of reducing state spending further, if necessary, to a level equal to the revenues projected from the tax rates in place before the 2009 tax hikes. Going into 2009, most North Carolinians thought their tax burden was high enough already. They were right. Instead, Raleigh raised sales and income taxes while Washington borrowed hundreds of millions of additional dollars to finance North Carolina’s budget — money that North Carolinians will have to pay back eventually with higher federal taxes. Instead of pursuing true fiscal conservatism, the Democratic majority in the General Assembly has chosen to stick with their original fiscal mistakes. Rely on more taxes and more borrowing. Keep increasing total state spending. Ignore the
The governor’s transportation plan News & Record of Greensboro ov. Bev Perdue’s administration keeps working on new ideas to meet state transportation needs. The latest proposal calls for creating a Mobility Fund, a pool of money to pay for big maintenance projects — such as replacing the Yadkin River bridges on I-85 — and even city road work. It would tap some of the revenue currently diverted from the state’s Highway Trust Fund to the General Fund and raise some taxes, including the motor vehicle
G
registration fee. This is a poor economic environment for raising taxes, although even fiscal conservatives must acknowledge the long-term problem with relying so heavily on the motor-fuels tax for transportation needs. People keep driving more fuelefficient vehicles and paying less tax, while highway construction and maintenance costs are not decreasing. The bigger question, though, is why create a Mobility Fund when the state already has a Highway Trust Fund? The easy answer is
that the Highway Trust Fund isn’t adequately meeting the state’s transportation needs, but that should be addressed by correcting its problems, not coming up with a new entity. It would be better to use the Highway Trust Fund as the state’s major transportation funding mechanism but give the Board of Transportation authority to target funds to the most urgent projects, regardless of location. The legislature should put politics aside to make that happen — an idea travelers could support.
Introducing
state’s many unfunded liabilities. And hope North Carolina taxpayers either don’t notice or don’t care.
Sounds like a risky gamble to me. • • • John Hood is president of the John Locke Foundation.

The opposite of bullying: Girl to girl mentoring
T
Charlotte artist Carmella Jarvi’s swimming-themed paintings are part of the summer exhibition at Waterworks Visual Arts Center.
Being there
T
Waterworks exhibit features local artists
he upcoming exhibits at Waterworks Visual Arts Center will highlight the work of several local artists, including
Ben Martin and Rick Sorensen. An opening reception, free and open to the public, will be held from 6-8 p.m. Friday, June 11. The exhibits will continue through Aug. 28. The participating artists take a variety of approaches to the idea of “Being There,” the show’s theme. The art explores humans living in a place and time — and the singular moments that define human experience. • • • Carmella Jarvi’s evocative paintings and drawings of women swimming are on display in the Stanback Gallery hall. In her new body of work, Jarvi worked from photographs shot underwater, with her goal being for the viewer to feel the water in these paintings that are both reflective and dynamic. Jarvi is a full-time artist living in Charlotte. She graduated in 1992 from UNC-Charlotte with degrees in visual arts and philosophy. She is a summer affiliate artist at the McColl Center of Visual Art. ••• The theme “Being There” appropriately describes Ben Martin’s career as a photographer. Martin was Time magazine’s first staff photographer, and his 33 years as a photojournalist gave him a unique opportunity to see history unfolding. His photographs have captured the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Kennedy Funerals, presidential inaugurations. An artist’s eye and a knack for being in the right place at the right time have made him a master of the defining moment. A collection of his photographs of artists — from performing to visual — will be on display in the Young People’s Gallery. The exhibit is called “A Few People, Places and Things I’ve Seen.” This collection includes private and intimate moments in the lives of artists like Leonard Bernstein, Duke Ellington, Roy Lichtenstein, Jasper Johns, Carl Van Vechten, Nicholas Monsarrat and Craig Claiborne. Martin, retired to his childhood home in Salisbury, continues his work as a freelance photojournalist and commercial and advertising photographer. He lectures on photojournalism at colleges, universities, and seminars in the United States and Great Britain.
Wood sculptures by Rick Sorensen will be on display. • • • Rick Sorensen discovered his passion for art after retiring from a long career as a medical investigator. Sorensen, who carves pieces of driftwood he finds near his home on High Rock Lake, sees his wood sculptures as instants of awakening. After studying the art of wood sculpting, he taught himself some less-than-conventional techniques. He describes his work as a fusion of classical sculpture and the Carolina heritage arts of wood spirit carving. He strives to release the the essential nature of the wood in his work. He believes the art that emerges from within a piece of slimy, weathered wood is an affirmation of the beauty within each of us. • • • Tennessee artist John Wesley Simms Jr. paints powerful portraits of African Americans. “Visual artists knowingly or unknowingly chronicle their influences,” Simms says. “Where they’ve been, what they’ve seen, their joys and hurts exposed to the viewer for their enjoyment or criticism..” Simms was born in a small parsonage adjoining the church where his father served as pastor in Indiana. His artistic talents were evident at a very early age. However, his interest was almost extinguished by one practical-minded yet racially insensitive teacher who strongly encouraged him to “take up a trade” rather than pursue his love of art. After returning from a three-year stint in the U.S. Army that included a tour of duty in Vietnam, his self-taught art skills attracted Indiana artist Joseph Holiday, who mentored Simms. His work was first exhibited at the 1972 Indiana Black Expo. While still pursuing a 30-year career with General Motors, Simms graduated in 1993 with a bachelor of fine arts from the College of Creative Studies, Detroit, Mich. He retired from GM in 1999.

he American Girl movies are a wonderful series of films about the lives of American girls from Revolutionary Days to the present. One is “Chrissa Stands Strong.” Chrissa is a Midwestern girl who moves to a SUSAN new town and JENSEN is subjected to the kind of brutal bullying that is unfortunately very common these days, particularly among girls. The mean girl has low self esteem (like all bullies) while nicer girls partake in the mean behavior because they are afraid of getting on the wrong side of the bully. One girl abandons the bully’s “team” to tell the truth about what has been happening, thus beginning the process of stopping the bully in her tracks. The parents and school authorities come together to get the truth out in the open and Chrissa’s class starts a project designed to prevent future such harassment. What is missing from this positive movie is something we are so lucky to have at Salisbury Academy: a network of older girls who mentor younger girls with an example of kindness, fair play and support. With so many stories of terrible bullying in the media, youngsters even committing suicide due to relentless bullying, it is nice to report about the very opposite behavior going on in this community. Teachers cannot be everywhere. When slightly older kids voluntarily step in to stop bad playground behavior, their intervention carries a big emotional punch and also spares the victim from being in the position of tattletale. The girls being mentored then turn around and provide the same kind of support to their younger peers. When my daughter, Jessica, started kindergarten she was lucky enough to meet a remarkable second grader named Katie White. Katie took Jessica under her wing and advised her, ever so gently,when she was behaving suboptimally, encouraged her when she did her best and counseled her when someone was mean to just walk away and pray for that girl, who could not be in a very happy place. Katie spends her free time singing to nursing home patients, doing wonderful church work and honoring her commitments. Once, when we invited Katie to a play she really wanted to attend, she chose instead to honor her commitment to her soccer team to play in an important game. What a wonderful example to our child. Juliana Anderson, a classmate of Katie’s, has noticed when Jessica felt scared and alone at a party and sat next to her. She has also stepped in when Jessica was upset on the playground and recently cleaned up Jessica and calmed her down after her entire food tray spilled all over her. She truly has a heart of gold. When a slightly older peer models caring behavior, it has a very big impact on the psyche of a young girl. Girls then learn to be supportive of each other. Alex Warren, a seventh grader, has taken a great interest in the younger girls and will sit with them during recess and give them a lot of
