SALISBURY — The new I-85Yadkin River Bridge should startto take shape in just a couple ofweeks as construction continueson schedule.“We had some issues with

drilling, but we’re picking backup now,” said Jim Barton, con-struction manager with contrac-tor Flatiron-Lane, at the projectsite Wednesday.Crews have been building the

two spans of the bridge from atemporary work bridge con-structed between them.They use heavy machinery to

drill shafts deep into the ground,remove the soil and water and fillthe shafts with rebar and con-crete. On top of the shafts restslightly smaller columns, whichare connected above in rows offour by concrete caps.Barton said in the second week

of June, the workers will start toset the long girders that supportthe roadway, “and at that point, itwill start looking like something.”Construction slows down,

though, when the drills hit hardrock. A large tool made of sever-al pneumatic hammers is thenused to pulverize the rock, breakthrough and continue drilling.Darin Waller, resident engi-

neer with the N.C. Department ofTransportation, said the depth ofthe shafts depends on the type ofsoil workers run into.“A lot of this is pretty much be-

ing designed as we go,” Wallersaid. “We have an initial design,and if we encounter somethingdifferent, the designers get in-volved.”Tim Canup, assistant resident

engineer with the transportationdepartment, said there are nowclose to 150 people working on-site, not counting the offsite de-signers.About 20 subcontractors are

working different aspects of theproject, he said, from earth mov-ing to railroad crossings to sig-nage.Some are using eight towering

cranes to get the job done. Six ofthose cranes rest on the nearly-completed temporary workbridge. They must move along a

Piedmont Passages: A quaker who wouldn’t become a soldierEditor’s note: George Raynor

was managing editor of the Salis-bury Post for 30 years and editorfor eight years before retiring in1982. This essay appeared in thePost on April 14, 1985.

While the role of Quakers asconscientious objectorshas been for the most part

accepted in wars involving Ameri-cans, this is not thesame as being re-spected. Often be-ing accused of beingtraitors and reviledas cowards, Quak-ers cling to their un-easy roles in a war-ring world to thisday. Louis A.Brown, theStatesville historianand author of the

authoratative study of the Salis-bury prison camp (1861-1865), hascontinued to unearth material

about the prison since the publica-tion of his study in 1980. Includedamong the new material is somethat sheds more light on the mar-tyr-like role of the Quaker.In his history Brown has a short

reference to the mistreatment ofSolomon Frazier, a Randolph Coun-ty Quaker. The reference is from aletter that David O. McRaven, oneof the guards, wrote to his wifeAmanda. In the letter McRaven de-scribes the mistreatment. “Ourmen often act like heathern the of-ficers of Masses Batallion have anold fellow that calls himself aQuaker in tow they have beenworking with him this is the thirdDay, he will not carry a gun theyhave Strapped a Musket on hisshoulder and tied a rope around hisneck and three men take him byturns and Drag him around in aring at the trot. I think they willDrag the life out of the OldScoundril before Long but theywill not make a soldier out of him.”

Brown thought that this wouldbe the end of material aboutSolomon Frazier, but happily hewas wrong, thanks to the collect-ing interests of Houston Ballardof Cleveland. Hearing thatBrown’s history would soon bepublished, Ballard, a stamp andcover collector, remembered thatsome letters from the prisonwould be sold. He went to Wash-ington, D.C., for the auction andbought some. One happened to befrom the same Solomon Frazier toBrother Hinson (a spiritual broth-er no doubt) and tells of the inci-dent related by McRaven and oth-er relevant facts. The letter fol-lows:“Brother Hinson the (they) have

punished me severely and thismorning the sent me to LawyerBlackburn to see if he (could) clearme but he Could not do anythingfor me unless I had paid the fivehundred. (All Quakers whoclaimed to be conscientious objec-

tors were to pay $500 to gain aConfederate deferment. This privi-lege was revoked at the end of1863 so that Quakers who had notpaid were in trouble with the Con-federacy.) Blackburn sed get somepapers from my meeting showingthat I am a Cons-(member in goodstanding?) members of the Societyof friends and pay the tax, ColMass sed what papers I have isworth nothing and he say when Imake this trial and don’t comeclear I have got to take arms or thewill kill me for that is the orders.If their can be any thing don forme I would lik to see it quick. firstthey tied me down two hours after-noon the mad me Carry a pole nexmorning the draw me up by myhands 2 hours (then in the) after-noon the tied a gun to me and achunk that I could not carry, they(were) going to hold it on me andthrowed me down, I feel vary com(calm?) and would lik to have sumhelp I am well and would lik to get

Brother E. W. Frazier written onJan. 4, 1865, and found in A. EarlWeatherly’s book The First Hun-dred Years of Historic Guilford,1771-1871. The letter explains in anindirect way some of the problemsSolomon faced at Salisbury and isas follows:“In reply to thy request con-

cerning rations we have concludedthat thou cannot do better thandraw Rations at present and wealso think perhaps their is nothingwrong in so doing.“Hannah (Solomon’s wife) was

The building is today’s Rowan County administrative Office. These dozen young men left for training at Camp Jacksonin Columbia, S.C. The Rowan Museum, which supplied this photograph, has identified seven of the 12 as Mitchell Corriher (first fromleft), Ralph Current (third), Marvin Koontz (sixth), albert Overman (eighth), William Hardin (ninth), Leake Bernhardt (10th) and Harris Miller (12th). Post records have names for the other men, but their position in the photo is not certain. The others are W.T. Eagle, J.K. Fleming, Paul E. Monroe, G.F. Click and W.S. Graham. If you can identify any of the correct positions for these last fivemen, contact the Rowan Museum at 704-633-5946.

Q. I don’t really like to exercise, Ikeep hearing about how I need to ex-ercise. How can I get motivated?

A. I wish I could sell motivation in abottle. Everyone would buy it. Some-

one joined the Y andasked if they wouldlose weight since theyjoined. I replied thatwe will give you thetools and support foryou to get healthier andpossibly lose weight,but you are the onewho has to do it. Youcan join, or buy anyequipment to exercise,but if you don’t follow

through, nothing is going to happen.What surprises me each time is

that most people have no problemtaking pills or shots for this and that(especially weight loss), but when adoctor tells them to exercise so theydon’t have to take the pills or can getaway with a lesser dose, any excusewill come up.

To lead a healthy lifestyle, youhave to make choices. What do youwant out of life? Do you want to beable to do more things, move better,feel better or are you satisfied withimmobility, being overweight andperforming routine tasks?

Most people I talk to want to loseweight. They want to be able to movebetter. They want to have more ener-gy, be able to do things.

Well, guess what? It takes workand dedication. I have told you beforethat I was in shock when I did a sur-vey how many people who exerciseregularly answered that they did notlike to exercise.

Most of our regular members do itbecause it makes them feel better,look better, give them more energy,

and lots of times gives them the abili-ty to do the things they thought theycould not do anymore. Some take wa-ter exercise classes, walk and/or takea land group exercise class.

These people have made thechoice, and constantly are making thechoice to do what is best for theirbody no matter what health issuescome their way. There are so manymore people who come to the YMCAbecause they want to feel better,move better and be healthy. My hat isoff to all of you.

In today’s times of economic insta-bility, with health care costs throughthe roof, you can make the choice tolive healthier by exercising and eat-ing better. I spoke to a young manwho said that his mom spends over$500 a month on medication.

Exercise has proven to be benefi-cial to your health. Lots of people canlower, or even cut certain medica-tions when they start exercising regu-larly and eating sensibly.

And with a proper diet and deter-mination the weight loss will follow.Before you start an exercise programcheck with your doctor first if youhave health challenges.

Start slow and easy, try differentthings. Try the water exercise classesif you have joint problems. Try chairyoga, body-movement class or a low-impact class such as Body Vive.

When you try and stay focused,you will find what works for you butyou are the one who has to make thatchoice. You are the one who has totake the initiative.

I am proud, and I want to encour-age everyone who is trying to bettertheir lifestyle. I know it is hard andimpossible at times, but the choice isyours.

Students learn how tomanage money and be re-sponsible with their re-sources, Johnson said.

“They take this and runwith it, they kids reallylearn how to be problemsolvers,” he said.

When Johnson firstlaunched the program atIsenberg, he was using shoeboxes and paper money forthe simulation, now iPodshelps students keep track ofspending and planning.

“The makeshift stuff wasgood, but this takes it to awhole different level,” hesaid.

The grant from theRobertson Family Founda-tion will extend the pro-gram to third-graders.

Johnson said the iPodswill also be used for every-day classroom instruction.

“When you give (stu-dents) an iPods, they canlearn anytime, anywhere,”he said. “That’s what it’s allabout, instant information.

Johnson said he was ec-static to find out Overton’sgrant request had been ap-proved.

EAST SPENCER — The East Spencer Police De-partment is looking for a person of interest involvedin a Saturday night shooting along Heiligtown Roadthat has ties to a stabbing that occurred a week ago.The victim, Dadrian Donald, 29, was shot in the

leg during a confrontationwith another person whoDonald refused to name.The incident occurred at

7:30 p.m. Donald did tell po-lice he was walking in the 700block of Heiligtown Roadwhen the unnamed shootershot him in the leg with ashotgun.“His injuries were not con-

sidered life-threatening butdid require hospitalization,”Baldo said.Donald was shot once, but

the blast from the shot gun hit both calves.“He is in good condition,” Baldo said.The hospital is not being named to further pro-

tect the victim.There is a possibility that this shooting and the

stabbing that occurred in East Spencer, where De-shawn Outlaw, 22, was stabbed in the upper rightchest at a Grant Street apartment, are related, Bal-do said.He said though the two incidents are separate they

are linked by the same person of interest.He did not provide details on the person of inter-

est, but did say the victims in both incidents are nottalking to law enforcement.“The person of interest has prior ties to gang and

drug activity,” Baldo said.He said he talked to Donald who didn’t know much

about the stabbing incident involving Outlaw.“It’s more coincidental,” Baldo said.A shotgun shell was located at the scene of the

shooting but the weapon has not been found.

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s Medicaid pro-gram, second only to public schools in state spend-ing, could be offering fewer services to save moneybefore a wave of new consumers expected to enrollsoon because of the federal health care overhaul.Republicans in charge of the General Assembly

are considering eliminating several medical servic-es the federal government doesn’t require the stateto cover for adults through Medicaid, the govern-ment’s health insurance program for low-incomefamilies, people with disabilities and poor elderlyresidents. It’s part of a method to cut state spendingin the agency that operates Medicaid by more than$350 million for the year starting July 1 and $400 mil-lion the following year, to about $2.9 billion annual-ly.The Senate budget proposal rolled out last week

would eliminate coverage for adult Medicaid en-rollees who receive some over-the-counter drugssuch as nicotine gum for smokers trying to quit andinsulin for diabetics. Adult routine eye exams would-n’t be covered, as well as intravenous medicationssuch as chemotherapy for home-bound patients. Bynext year, the state program for Medicaid could elim-inate essentially all routine dental coverage foradults, as well as most podiatry and chiropracticservices. More eliminations could be ahead if othersavings targets aren’t met.Republicans argue the state has little choice in

order to close a $2.5 billion budget gap. Federal stim-ulus money that helped pay more for Medicaid thanusual is running out. GOP lawmakers also have prom-ised to let temporary taxes expire as scheduled thisyear, and Medicaid spending projections are tricky.“This is what’s coming down the pike if we can’t

get the kind of savings that we want from Medicaid,”said Sen. Pete Brunstetter, R-Forsyth, co-chairmanof the Senate Appropriations Committee. “We real-ly don’t have a great desire to go there. It’s just thatthese are big numbers.”North Carolina could see an additional 525,000 en-

rollees in Medicaid in 2014, according to the Divi-sion of Medical Assistance, which operates Medi-

already in the driveway andgroceries in the refrigera-tor.

The State Departmentalso provides for cost-of-liv-ing increases in salary, ifnecessary. The cost-of-liv-ing adjustment in Moscowwas 40 percent, for exam-ple.

The accommodationsvary greatly, depending onthe country. The family’squarters in Moscow werepart of a complex — a pret-ty standard three-bedroomapartment whose cost,nonetheless, was exorbitant.

In Argentina, the familylived in a four-story housewith a swimming pool thatwas just down the streetfrom the president’s man-sion.

For the first time in Aus-tralia, Sean and Sydney areattending a local school, notone set up primarily for vis-iting Americans and otherEnglish-speaking students.As part of their school uni-form, they must wear hatsto shield them from the Aus-tralian sun.

They take U.S. historyevery Friday at the em-bassy.

The family has lived inPort of Spain, Trinidad, fortwo years, Moscow for twoyears and Buenos Aires, Ar-gentina, for three years be-

fore moving to Canberra,Australia, in September2010.

“They’ve all had theirpluses and minuses,”Crowther says, though hethinks his children havebenefited greatly from be-coming, in a way, world citi-zens. “They’re learning allthese different cultures.”

Sean has become fluentin three languages. On vaca-tions, the family has trav-eled to places such asEgypt, South Africa andKenya.

Another side benefit isthat family often comes tovisit them in these farawayplaces. Louise and her latehusband, Milton, once a re-search chemist for NationalStarch, were able to travelto Trinidad and Russia dur-ing their son’s assignmentsthere.

“He was a wonderful per-son,” Louise says of Milton,who died in 2009, “and he en-couraged his children to getout in the world.”

Pete Crowther, 46, gradu-ated as valedictorian ofNorth Rowan High School’sClass of 1983. He then ma-jored in health and sportsscience at Wake Forest,earned his master’s in bio-mechanics at TCU and wasgoing for his doctorate be-fore that career path beganlosing its appeal.

Always interested in com-puters, Crowther took a jobwith a computer supportcompany in Dallas, liked it

and moved on to positionswith EDS and Microsoft.

“There was so much op-portunity to move up,” hesays.

But when things began ta-pering off and Crowther sawhe was only making lateralmoves, he started lookingfor other career opportuni-ties. At a job fair in Dallas,he walked up to the onlybooth without a line — theForeign Service branch ofthe U.S. State Department.

Crowther enjoyed travel.He backpacked through Eu-rope in his younger days andhad gone to China and Thai-land with some schoolfriends. Not knowing whatwould come of it, he appliedto the State Department fora computer support position.

It took a year before hewas called to Washington inAugust 2002 for an inter-view. After he passed writ-ten and oral tests, the StateDepartment placed him inits next class. By February2003, he was on his first as-signment to Trinidad, hav-ing survived all the back-ground checks.

During his foreign serv-ice, Crowther says his wifehas had the tougher job, try-ing to adapt their family toeach new country.

She grew up as a mission-ary’s daughter, spendingmany years in West Africa.While she was used to livingin foreign lands, she wasnever used to the diplomat-ic-like lifestyle that came

with Crowther’s State De-partment job.

“She has fit in well,”‘Crowther says. “She has hadto deal with the changes offoreign life more than Ihave.”

The job also has allowedthe Crowther family to meetsome important people,such as both the Bush presi-dents, plenty of congress-men and former Secretaryof State Condoleezza Rice.

Crowther knows he’ll beassigned to Australia untilSeptember 2013, but hisnext world stop has yet tobe decided. As he gainstenure, he is able to bid onthe openings presented tohim by the State Depart-ment.

In between assignments,State Department employ-ees are given a two-monthbreak. For some of thosedays, the Crowthers muststay in Washington whilePete sits in on more train-ing. Otherwise, they spendtime with family in NorthCarolina, Kansas and Texas,

Pete and his brother Joe,a Lutheran minister inKansas, took time to hikeMount Kilimanjaro in Tan-zania.

At the top, Pete spreadsome of the ashes of his fa-ther, Milton, the man whohad always encouraged himto get out in the world.

WORLDFroM 3A

On Saturday, we hadthe 10th Annual BareBones 5K at Knox

Middle School.I’m talking about this

race in my column becausethere is something reallyspecial about the event.Ten years ago, the racestarted as a low-key way to

thank otherrunners inour area forparticipatingin SalisburyRowan Run-ners eventsthroughoutthe year.

In thatfirst year,there was acheap cottonT-shirt, econ-

omy medals for the win-ners, and a course aroundCatawba College’s soccerand football practice fields.There was water and ba-nanas, and not much elsefor food afterwards.

The event didn’t makemoney, though it was notmeant to. No outside spon-sors were solicited, butgood friends like Cheer-wine and Athlete’s Foot(now Sportrax) chipped inwith food and race num-bers, and Catawba providedthe location.

The shirt signified thelow cost, bare bones ap-proach with a skeleton logo.More than 40 runners at-tended.

Charlotte runner, BobbyAswell, reminded me howmuch things have changedon Saturday. Aswell and hisdaughter, Nicole, came toSalisbury to run the 5K,though there were otherchoices in the area. Aswellis an accomplished runner,having run more than 150marathons. He is 48 yearsold and his daughter is 9.The Aswells finished firstin their age groups.

On Saturday, the BareBones skeleton logo wasstill in place, but it was on ahigh-tech, dri-fit shirt.

There are still no mone-tary sponsors, but the racefriends include Cheerwine,Sportrax, and Knox MiddleSchool where the race isnow held. Most of the raceis run on the SalisburyGreenway, in EagleHeights, and near Knox.

Used running shoes arecollected for Rowan Help-ing Ministries, and throughintense fiscal managementthe race makes some mon-ey. Relay for Life with anemphasis on Breast CancerAwareness was the recipi-ent of all proceeds thisyear, and that contributionis significant.

Additionally, 40 newrunners had just completedtwo Beginning RunnersClasses, one in Salisburythrough Parks and Rec andanother in Landis at FirstReformed Church. As apart of their program, eachof these runners got to run

in the Bare Bones 5K,which was the very firstrace for most. They have agood start on an exerciseprogram.

Leftover awards fromother races are recycledand replated for BareBones with the help of Cre-ative Graphics of ChinaGrove.

Knox Middle School pro-vides a headquarters loca-tion that includes a racefinish on their track. TheSalisbury Post helps publi-cize the event.

The Salisbury Police andFire Departments providecourse support. A half-mile fun run for childrenunder 12 is run completelyon the track, so spectatorscan see the whole event.This year, there were spec-tators at several pointsalong the course, includingthe start and the finish.

Special significance forthe 2011 Bare Bones 5Kcentered around two keypoints.

Great management isthe key to success, andRace Director David Aber-nathy has become leg-endary in his ability to pro-vide leadership in races. Infact, he is currently South-east Regional Race Direc-tor of the Year, and is be-ing considered for thesame position nationally.

Abernathy is also treas-urer and membership di-rector of the SalisburyRowan Runners.

Another key point is thatmost races don’t succeedfor very long. Most neverget going, because organiz-ers think a 5K is easy to do.

A long list of require-ments must be in place be-fore the event will be possi-ble for the first year. Not aweek goes by that I don’thear form two to three or-ganizations wanting to

have a running race as afundraiser.

Most give it up whenthey see how much workand how many volunteersare needed, along withfinding sponsors and un-dertaking long-term plan-ning.

In my opinion, it is agood thing that they do.

Adam Cornelius was theoverall winner with a timeof 18 minutes and 6 sec-onds, and Alana Levie wonfor the women in 19 min-utes flat.

Rockwell resident Cor-nelius thought he had agood chance to win, andtook the lead after the mid-way point. He was sur-prised that there was sucha large turnout.

“I loved the course, withjust one hill it was veryfast,” Cornelius said.

Coby, Scott, and BillWeant all ran, spanningthree generations. It wasthe first running race forall of them.

“We all loved the raceand we’ll be doing a lotmore of these,” Scott Weantsaid.

The 2011 Bare Bones 5Kwas started by Bob Zirt 10years ago, for all the rightreasons.

Today, David Abernathymanages an extremely suc-cessful event. More than220 registrants signed upfor the two races, a recordin itself.

Relay for Life wins, andso does the community.

SALISBURY POST A R E A MONDAY, MAY 30, 2011 • 5A

caid. The 2010 federal healthcare law requires the state tocover more uninsured adults.The federal government willpay for nearly all the coverageof the new enrollees, but NorthCarolina may have to pay morethan $1 billion for them by2019, according to the KaiserCommission on Medicaid andthe Uninsured.Democratic lawmakers and

health advocates say eliminat-ing so many services couldmake people sicker or requiremore expensive coverage inservices the state is obligatedto cover, such as hospitals andnursing homes. They say cutscan be found elsewhere oravoided with additional taxrevenues.“Society I think is judged

on what it does for the least ofus, and I just think that we asNorth Carolinians can do bet-ter than this,” said Sen. DougBerger, D-Franklin. “It’smorally unconscionable.”Democratic Gov. Beverly

Perdue’s budget proposalsought $16.5 million in sav-ings, too, by modifying serv-ices for Medicaid, which cov-

ers 1.4 million people in NorthCarolina. Her plan initiallydidn’t provide many detailsabout how she’d do it exceptthat unidentified optionalservices would be eliminatedif the savings target wasn’tmet.The House budget ap-

proved earlier this month dis-closed more details on how toreach $16.5 million that in-cluded the eye care elimina-tion. The Senate went further,proposing the elimination andadjustment of optional serv-ices to save another $3.3 mil-lion in the coming year and$51.5 million in 2012-13.A decision on just how

many optional services wouldbe eliminated is expectedsoon as House and Senate ne-gotiators work out a finalbudget agreement to send toPerdue.Lanier Cansler, the secre-

tary of the Department ofHealth and Human Services,said he’s concerned haltingsome services will actuallylead to greater expenses be-cause “you’re more likely tosee someone not get the carethey need, or they’re going togo to a more expensive levelof care.”Forty-five percent of the

state’s $10 billion in Medicaid

expenses come from optionalservices, according to the Di-vision of Medical Assistance.But more than 12 percent ofthose optional expenses go tolow-income children that can’tbe eliminated under federallaw.Twenty states, including

North Carolina, either elimi-nated optional coverage ortightened restrictions on cov-ered benefits during 2010, theKaiser Commission said.Ending optional services is

becoming a more commonmethod because the federalhealth care reform and stim-ulus laws prevent states fromtightening Medicaid eligibili-ty requirements for the nearfuture, said Matthew Mitchell,a research fellow on state andlocal policy at the MercatusCenter at George Mason Uni-versity in Virginia.Brunstetter said he under-

stands it’s hard to persuadepeople who can’t afford cover-age that their treatments maynot be allowed any longer:“The optional services havebeen added over the years be-cause somebody somewherealong the line did think thatthey were essential to healthcare.”

MEDICAIDFROM 3aIf folks say that Ameri-

cans verge on health addic-tion, they are likely tellingyou the truth. As part of anational health initiative,the Lambda Upsilon OmegaChapter of Alpha Kappa Al-pha Sorority presented itsannual Health Fair on May21 at Carolina Mall in Con-cord. Participating vendors

from the local area repre-sented a variety of health-related areas, includingHealth Alliance CMC,American Red Cross,Cabarrus County SeniorCenter, New York Life In-surance Company; Oracle,LLC and Duke Medicine toname a few. Visitors had awide variety of displaysand health-promoting activ-

ities to explore. A numberof the on-lookers had noidea that resources existedin Cabarrus County such assupport groups and counsel-ing for caregivers, re-sources and special pro-grams for the elderly,respite care, dental special-ists for children and a num-ber of other services andproducts.

RALEIGH (AP) — Yoga in-structor Blake Tedder knows howdifficult it is for children with burninjuries to face the world. Tedderwas 17 when he lost 35 percent ofhis skin in a plane crash in 2001.Tedder was not prepared for

the stares and comments after heregained health. Because of hisburns, not only did his face staycardinal red for a long time, he hadto wear a pantyhose-like garmenton his arms.“I felt I looked like a mummy,”

said Tedder, now 26. The idea ofnot being able to play guitar orcatch the eye of a woman againwas devastating, he said.But at Camp Celebrate, a week-

end retreat for children with burninjuries organized by the N.C.Jaycee Burn Center, he started torebuild his confidence.“It just felt good to be around

those who met me before they metmy burns,” Tedder said.Tedder returns to the camp this

weekend as a counselor. The campbegan Friday when firefightersfrom around the state met 50campers at Triangle Town Centerand took them to the camp site out-side Wake Forest in a convoy offire engines, sirens blaring.The children, between ages 7

and 15, will spend the weekendfishing, canoeing and swimmingwith kids who know what they’vebeen through.“Camp Celebrate is a celebra-

tion of human spirit and collabora-tion,” said Bruce Cairns, directorat the N.C. Jaycee Burn Center atUNC Hospitals. The love from thevolunteers, firefighters, and staffat the burn center keeps the campgoing year after year, Cairns said.Deb Rosenstein, a therapist at

the burn center, started the campin 1982 because other camps hesi-tated to accept children who wereburn survivors. A year shy of its30th anniversary, Camp Celebratehas evolved into an after-care pro-

gram, offering a wide array ofservices to burn survivors of dif-ferent ages. Over the years manycamp alumni, like Tedder, have re-turned.The camp is a redemptive expe-

rience for many of its participants,said Anita Fields, manager at theburn center’s after-care program.She remembered one 14-year-oldboy who vowed never to wearshorts or swim again. At the camphe saw children jump into the wa-ter, children who had been throughthe same trauma and undergonejust as many — if not more — sur-geries. By the end of the camp hewouldn’t leave the water — and heeven climbed an alpine tower,Fields said.As a counselor, Tedder encour-

ages the children to be themselves,despite the scars and disfigure-ment.“It’s my favorite weekend of the

year,” Tedder said. Now he hostsa radio show, plays drums and, yes,

goes on dates.It’s Jon Hayes’ fourth year at

Camp Celebrate. The watermeloneating contest is one of the activi-ties that draw him back. Jon, 10,had second- and third-degreeburns on his chest and left armfrom when he tried to retrieve asoccer ball from a grill. He said hisgoal is to be a camp counselor oneday.His parents, Johnny and Debbie

of Ocean Isle Beach, stood in themall parking lot to see Jon climbinto a fire engine. They said theyknow how much he misses seeinghis friends at the camp and tellingeach other ghost stories.“It’s the ultimate camp experi-

ence,” Debbie Hayes said.The Camp Celebrate experience

has given Terrell Watkins a life-long passion for serving childrenwith special needs. Watkins was 13when he threw a lit match into acan filled with gasoline, thinkinghe was building the greatest camp-

fire in the world. The explosion en-gulfed him and burned 75 percentof his skin.Watkins survived, but the

flames left deep scars all over hisface, arms and legs, and destroyedhis ear cartilage. The staff at theburn center invited him to thecamp, where he met other childrenwho also had scars all over theirbodies.Now 34, Watkins has been a

camp counselor since 1996. Heplayed wide receiver for Winston-Salem State University and is nowa special education teacher at Cliff-dale Elementary School in Fayet-teville. Because of his camp expe-rience, he wants to return to schoolto become a licensed clinical coun-selor.“This is what I tell the kids,

‘You’re going to get looks, but youneed to be comfortable in your ownskin.’”And it doesn’t matter whether

your skin has scars or not.

Burn survivors see camp as a balm

WINSTON-SALEM(AP) — Pam Lillardwas trading zingers

recently with Frank Benedet-ti and Gary Trowbridge atWinston-Salem’s West EndCafe.But this time, Lillard was

sitting in a booth with themand eating lunch, her wait-ress pad and pen nowhere insight.The longtime waitress, a

frequent winner of various“favorite server” contests inWinston-Salem, may haveserved her last bowl of chili.In March, Lillard, 55, learnedshe had cervical spinal steno-sis, a degenerative bone dis-ease that causes a narrowingof the spinal canal.After suffering from

dizziness and falls for morethan a year, Lillard blackedout one evening in Marchand woke up paralyzed fromthe neck down. She under-went surgery to relieve pres-sure on her spine, which re-stored feeling throughoutmost of her body. However,Lillard still has some linger-ing paralysis in her fingers,arms and legs.Doctors have told her that

her waitressing days are

probably over, a devastatingprediction given the affec-tion she feels toward her co-workers and regulars suchas Benedetti and Trow-bridge.“It wasn’t just a job,” Lil-

lard said. “You celebratedyour customers’ births, theirmarriages. I miss it so bad.”When customers learned

about her illness, they flood-ed Lillard with cards andmessages on her Facebookpage. Co-workers visited fre-quently during her weeklonghospital stay.“I never realized how

much I was loved until this,”she said.Her co-workers recently

held a benefit for Lillard atThe Garage that includedfood and live music. Moneyraised will help Lillard coverthousands of dollars in med-ical bills.Lillard, who has no health

insurance, is waiting to hearwhat costs Medicaid willcover.Beloved for her positive

attitude and good cheer, Lil-lard was known to sendgrumpy customers out thedoor and ask them to re-en-ter in a better frame of mind.

“She’s very mothering,”said David Martin, one of therestaurant’s owners. “We al-ways joked that the feet oftoddlers never touched theground when Pam wasaround.”Lillard has worked at the

restaurant for 14 years, usu-ally up to 30 hours a week.She became so popular thatcustomers began to ask Mar-tin whether she could betheir waitress.“When she couldn’t be

there, she’d send us an emailto let us know and, when wecouldn’t be there, we’d sendher an email,” Benedetti said.“She has a following.“People think she is the

greatest waitress in theworld.”Lillard hopes to one day

work as a cashier at therestaurant. She has returneda few times but has troublesitting for any length of time.A parade of well-wishersgreets her when she doesshow up.“There’s a void,” Martin

said. “People ask about herevery day. And I knowthere’s a void in her life be-cause she loved what shedid.”

Planning to fly? Gas prices cause fares to soarNEW YORK (AP) — To fly

someone from New York toLos Angeles and back, air-lines spend close to $330these days — just on fuel.That’s a 48 percent in-

crease from last year and themain reason vacationers facerecord costs to fly this sum-mer. To offset their singlebiggest expense, airlineshave hiked fares seven timesthis year and raised fees forchecking bags and other serv-ices.This has only added to the

frustration of most casualfliers who see $59 fares ad-vertised but are quoted priceswell above $300 when they ac-

tually try to book. Americans’expectations of a cheap vaca-tion are being destroyed bythe reality of $100-a-barreloil.“The passenger has to un-

derstand that the airline in-dustry in the United States isnot meant to be a low-costmass transit system. The air-lines are in business to beprofitable,” says airline ana-lyst Robert Herbst.A decade ago, fuel ac-

counted for about 15 percentof airline operating expens-es. Five years ago, it was 29percent. Today, it’s 35 per-cent.During the first three

months of 2011, the airlinesspent $8.7 billion on fuel, 31percent more than last year.In the current quarter, jetfuel expenses are even high-er.U.S. airlines burn an aver-

age of 22 gallons of fuel forevery 1,000 miles each pas-senger flies. At $3.03 a gallon, airlines

are currently spending $330per passenger just on fuel fora 4,950-mile transcontinentalround-trip.

Some fliers might havepaid less than that for theirticket while others could havespent more than $2,000.The industry’s remaining

expenses break down thisway:• Salaries and benefits ac-

count for 28 percent. Tenyears ago, it was the biggestexpense at 39 percent. Butseveral major airlines filedfor bankruptcy and that al-lowed them to renegotiate la-bor contracts.• Aircraft maintenance,

airport landing fees and trav-el agency commissions ac-count for 18 percent.• Aircraft lease payments,

food and drinks and in-flightentertainment account for 5percent. And that’s even withmost airlines no longer serv-ing peanuts.

SC nuclear plant becoming 1st in US to go digitalSENECA, S.C. (AP) — The

digital revolution is finallyreaching America’s nuclearpower plants.Sometime in the next few

weeks, technicians will finishinstalling digital controls forthe operating and safety sys-tems of a nuclear plant reac-tor in western South Caroli-na, a move being closelywatched by other nuclearcomplexes.In a nation where a digital

blender can be bought forabout $30 at Walmart, theOconee Nuclear Station reac-tor will be the first of the 104reactors in the United Statesnot controlled with the sameanalog technology thatbrought the world cassettetapes and slide rules.It has taken nuclear pow-

er plants so long to go digitalbecause regulators wantedassurances the new controlsystems were as reliable asthe old ones and could not becompromised by hackers.“The systems in the plants

right now, they are doing anexcellent job. The plants arevery safe — they’ve been do-ing their jobs for years,” saidJoe Naser, technical execu-tive with the Electric PowerResearch Institute.The goal of going digital is

to save money. Most systemsin a nuclear power plant aremonitors with four sensors.

If two of them have out-of-whack readings, engineers of-ten have to “trip” the plant, orshut it down, until the prob-lem is resolved. If a nuclearplant sits idle for a day, it cancost a utility company morethan $2 million. That isn’tspare change, even for a com-pany like North Carolina-based plant operator DukeEnergy, which earned $1.3billion in 2010.Unlike a human engineer,

who can only take in onemeasurement at a time fromone instrument, the digitalsystem takes in thousands ofreadings at any moment. Thecomputer can instantly figureout if a sensor is broken andignore it.“Those utilities need to

keep those plants running. Tohave unplanned outages as aresult of an analog system is-n’t doing what we need it todo — that’s a financial risk,”said Jere Jenkins, director ofRadiation Labs at Purdue Uni-versity.While digital control of nu-

clear plants is widespread inEurope and Asia, the U.S. hasbeen on the sidelines as thedigital revolution has broughtAmericans iPods for theirmusic, movies that stream totheir cell phones over the In-ternet and tiny computersconnected to satellites to helpthem find the store that sells

those things.The nuclear plant digital

systems will provide opera-tors with much more dataabout plant operations and alevel of precision impossiblewith an analog system, whichoften requires the movementof components to get thingsdone.Other utilities are closely

watching. The youngest nu-clear plant in the U.S. wentonline with analog controls in1996, the same year DVDswere introduced in Japan.More than half of the nation’snuclear power plants are atleast 30 years old, and onlythree have come on since1990.Other nuclear power

plants will likely followOconee’s lead as soon as theycan afford it if the conversiongoes well, said DavidLochbaum, director of theNuclear Safety Project forthe Union of Concerned Sci-entists.Also, Duke Energy said it

made sure its engineers canmanually take over all digitalprocesses in case there areany problems.One of the biggest con-

cerns of regulators was wor-ries the software used to runthe new controls might behacked from outside theplant. Documents given to theNuclear Regulatory Commis-

sion show Duke Energy’ssoftware provider designed asystem with no external net-work connections. Any com-munication between the reac-tor operators and the systemis heavily restricted and mustbe authorized by plant oper-ators.The new control system at

Reactor 1 is part of $2 billionin upgrades that Duke Ener-gy is making to keep its threereactors at the station, whichopened in the early 1970s, runsafely for the next 30 years.The control panel installationcoincides with a planned re-fueling outage. Reactor 2 willget its new digital panel dur-ing next year’s refueling, andan upgrade at Reactor 3 isscheduled for 2013. The newpanels alone for all three re-actors cost $250 million.Oconee Nuclear Station’s

reactor operators have spentmonths training on an exactreplica of what the new con-trol panel will look like. Andit looks a lot like the old sys-tem.“One of the goals is to

make operators’ life, I won’tsay easy, but to make opera-tors more focused on the pri-mary aspects of the job. Justlike an airline pilot, you wanthim to focus on flying the air-plane — you don’t want himspending all day trying to getthe cabin pressure right,”

What’s happeningThere will be a Memorial

Day program in Salisbury to be-ginning with a wreath-laying cer-emony at 9 a.m. at the Salis-bury National Cemetery on Mil-itary Avenue.Participants will then go to

the National Cemetery Annexbehind the Hefner VA MedicalCenter on Brenner Avenue fora program at 10 a.m. The cer-emony will be held at the mainflagpole committal shelter.Sgt. First Class Charles Han-

nel will be the keynote speak-er.In Kannapolis, the Beaver-

Pittman Post No. 115 will hostits annual ceremony beginningat 11 a.m. in Village Park withpatriotic music from localartists.At 11:45 a.m., veterans of

all wars will parade from the ac-tivity building at the park to theamphitheater for the ceremo-ny.The ceremony will begin at

noon and there will be a spe-cial POW/MIA remembranceservice during the event. Theguest speaker is Col. HectoryHenry, one of three doctorsover the age of 70 who cameout of retirement to serve inIraq after Sept. 11, 2001.

Dear Amy: My husband andI are at odds regarding ourdaughters’ arguments.

Both girls, mid-20s, arguewith each other at times.Sometimes they say veryhurtful things and sometimestheir fights are just plain stu-pid.

Often they will call me andcomplain about each other,putting me in the middle.

I refuse the middle stanceand do not take sides but I dolisten, try to validate theirfeelings and guide each to a

sensible solu-tion.

My hus-band says Ishould not talkto them whenthey are in asnit. He says Ishould tellthem to “dealwith it” andhang up.

T h e i rfights and how I react to them— which I call parenting —have become an issue betweenus.

So what do I do? Should Itell them to “deal” and hangup — or should I tell my hus-band to deal and shut up?

— Mom in the Middle

Dear Mom: I vote for a lessbrusque version of your hus-band’s technique.

Your daughters are adults.It’s time for them to take re-sponsibility for having andsettling their own disputes.They must learn how to “val-idate” their own feelings, forgoodness’ sake.

Your daughters call you tomediate their disputes for areason: When they do thisthey don’t have to work thingsout for or between them-

selves.If they had to stew in their

juices, patch up their ownwounds and repair their rela-tionship after a fight, theymight realize that the hatefulthings they say when they arefighting are not so easilymended. For their own sakes,they must change the waythey interact when they’re an-gry.

One day when you are withboth of them and they are notfighting, you should talk tothem about this and let themknow that putting their mom-my in the middle of theirfights is not what adultsshould do.

After that, if you get one ofthese mediation calls, by allmeans say, “Wait a minute —I think your father wants tosay hi.”

And hand him the phone.

Dear Amy: My daughter isin fourth grade and is verycreative, kind and beautiful.Recently she told me abouther “boyfriend” at school. Ihave seen this boy a few timeswhen working in my daugh-ter’s classroom and he seemsnice.

All the children seem to beplaying this boyfriend/girl-friend game and it seemsharmless, but I still feel real-ly uncomfortable with the ideaof my daughter having aboyfriend because she is soyoung.

Should I lay down the lawand call the boy’s parents ortheir teacher about this issueor should I lay off and let mydaughter play this harmlessgame until it gets old?

My husband is aware ofthis but he’s leaving this oneup to me.

— Mom

Dear Mom: It is very com-mon for kids at this age to actout behavior they perceive asgrown-up. This is their way ofrehearsing for the drama ofromantic life, and for the mostpart this behavior is develop-mentally appropriate — andbenign.

By all means, speak withthe teacher to make sure she’saware of it and to solicit heradvice.

Also, ask your daughteropen-ended questions aboutthis — for example, “Whatdoes it mean to have aboyfriend?”

React temperately, appro-priately and proportionately.If you don’t like this, then sayto her, “You’re way too youngto have a boyfriend, honey.That’s for much older people.”

ASKAMY

Ten ways to simplify your lifeIf the rising costs of try-

ing to keep up with the de-mands of your life are mak-ing you feel like you’re on arunaway train, take a deepbreath and consider this:The best way to bring your

lifestyle inline with yourincome is tosimplify. It’sgood for thesoul, too.

• Stop di-recting yourgoals towardthe acquisi-tion of moreand morethings. Beforeyou buy an-

other appliance, the latestfad or the newest model, askyourself these questions: DoI really need this? Will buy-ing it make my life better?

• Buy used instead ofnew. Perfectly good useditems are the biggest bar-gain around. Take comput-ers, for example. A nicemodel a year or two old can

be purchased for a few hun-dred dollars, compared to$1,000 or more for a newone. And the fact is, few peo-ple need the power of thenew model anyway. Samewith cars. A late-model usedcar costs a third less than anew car and will run depend-ably just as long.

• When you do buy new,go for simplicity. Most con-sumer goods are loaded withfeatures most people willnever need or use. Thesefeatures drive up the cost ofthe product enormously. Askyourself, when was the lasttime you used your DVR’sfancy programming featuresor changed the settings onyour dishwasher? And yourcamera or phone, do they re-ally need replacing?

• Use up the goods youhave. Drive that car until thewheels fall off. The same ad-vice holds for appliances,clothes and all sorts ofitems. Stop throwing out orreplacing perfectly goodthings that still work.

• If you must get rid ofserviceable goods, don’t takethem to the dump. Recycleby donating them to charita-ble groups that will see theyare put back into service.

• Cut down your waste.Recycle newspapers, plasticand paper, if you’re not do-ing so already.

Start a compost pile ifyou’ve got a bit of land avail-able.

• Think smaller. The av-erage new American househas grown by 40 percentsince 1970. Three and fourbathrooms are commonthese days, as are hugerooms with high ceilings,which make them more ex-pensive to heat and cool. It’stime that we started ques-tioning this edifice complex.Ditto for big gas-guzzlingcars, too.

• Set an economical ex-ample for your children. Byacting with conservation inmind, you lead with yourdeeds. Trying to fulfill yourchild’s every material desire

sends two wrong messages:that all is easily attainable,and that baubles are worthhaving even if you can’t af-ford them.

• Cut down on your driv-ing and shuttling your kidsaround. You’ll not only savegas, you’ll save wear andtear on yourself and yourfamily.

• Make a positive differ-ence in your community.Pitch in on projects thatserve everyone, and encour-age your children to do thesame.

BOSTON (AP) — Theworld’s strongest winds racehigh in the sky, but that does-n’t mean they’re out of reachas a potentially potent ener-gy source.Flying, swooping and

floating turbines are beingdeveloped to turn high-alti-tude winds into electricity.The challenges are huge,

but the potential is immense.Scientists estimate the ener-gy in the jet streams is 100times the amount of powerused worldwide annually.Cristina Archer, an atmos-

pheric scientist at the Cali-fornia State University inChico, said there’s “not adoubt anymore” that high-al-titude winds will be tappedfor power.“This can be done, it can

work,” she said.The question is, when?

Some companies projecttheir technology will hit themarket by the middle of thedecade, but Fort Felker atthe National Renewable En-ergy Laboratory says the in-dustry is 10 years away frommaking a meaningful contri-bution to the nation’s elec-tricity demands.No company, for instance,

has met the basic require-ment of demonstrating itsturbine can safely fly unsu-pervised for prolonged peri-ods of time.High-altitude wind power

is similar to ground wind inthe 1970s — facing questionsbut soon to prove its viabili-ty, said PJ Shepard ofOroville, Calif.-based SkyWindPower, which is devel-oping a “flying electric gen-erator.”“It’s kind of like the ad-

justment folks had to makewhen the Wright brothersstarted flying airplanes,” shesaid.The lure of high-altitude

wind is simple: Wind speedgenerally increases with itsheight above the ground assurface friction diminishes.Each time wind speed dou-bles, the amount of energy ittheoretically holds multipliesby eight times.The world’s most power-

ful winds circulate in the jetstreams, which are foundfour to 10 miles off theground and carry winds thatregularly break 100 milesper hour.The dream is to eventual-

ly tap the jet streams, buthigh-altitude wind compa-nies are focusing for now be-low a 2,000-foot ceiling,above which complex feder-al air-space restrictions kickin. Adam Rein, co-founder ofthe Boston company Al-taeros Energies, said hiscompany calculates winds atthe 2,000 foot level are up to21⁄2 times stronger thanwinds that can be reached bya typical 350-foot land tur-bine.High-altitude wind advo-

cates say their smaller, light-weight turbines will be farcheaper to build and deploythan windmills with hugeblades and towers that mustbe drilled into land or the seafloor.Those savings would

mean inexpensive energy.With wide-scale use, advo-cates see a range of prices,from something comparableto land wind’s current 9 or 10cents per kilowatt hour downto an astonishingly low 2cents per kilowatt hour.“They are projecting

crazy numbers,” Archersaid. “I’m not saying that it’strue. ... But it’s really thelowest, the cheapest energysource, possibly.”As the turbines eventual-

ly aim higher, advocates saythere are plenty of remoteand offshore no-fly areaswhere they won’t interferewith aircraft and have mini-mal interaction with people.Still, any nearby residents

must be convinced there’s nodanger from falling turbineswhile accepting a view thatincludes flying objects at-tached to long tethers thatcarry the energy to theground. High-altitude tur-bines also won’t escape thevarious environmental con-cerns that face conventionalturbines, such as their effecton bird flight.And each turbine concept

awaits extensive testing onits reliability, durability andeffectiveness, said Felker,director of NREL’s NationalWind Technology Center.Keeping the turbines op-

erating autonomously overlong periods in changingweather may be the biggest

obstacle, Felker said.“You have powerful rea-

sons to stay aloft as much aspossible,” he said. “What doyou do when a thunderstormcomes by? Do you recover(the device)? Do you land? ...How do you operate in thereal world?”Different companies have

proposed answering thatquestion in different ways.A “kite” being developed

by Makani Power of Alame-da, Calif., looks like a glider

with four high-speed rotorsthat launch it into flight, thenswitch modes to generateelectricity that’s carrieddown the tether.An onboard computer

steers the kite in a wide cir-cle, mimicking the path ofthe tip of a giant wind tur-bine blade. That allows thedevice to interact with a larg-er wind area, increasing theamount of energy it can cap-ture in the same way increas-ing the size of a sail increas-

es the potential speed of asailboat, said Damon VanderLind, Makani’s chief engi-neer.The kite can also stay up

in high winds, and power it-self to land in low winds,Vanderlind said.

“It lets us make a very re-liable system, something op-erators can just plug in anduse,” he said.Sky WindPower’s gener-

ator has four rotors, each 35feet in diameter, that trans-mit power down the tether.It’s built to hover, ratherthan swoop or circle, Shep-ard said. While moving tur-bines can actually fly fasterthan the wind by flyingcrosswind, they can’t fly ashigh, she said.“We can get up a little

higher than they can. We canget to higher velocity windsand make up for it,” Shepardsaid.Altaeros is developing a

stationary turbine that sitsinside a 60-foot tall, helium-filled shroud that acts like awind funnel. Similar blimp-like devices, called aerostats,have long been used to keepheavy equipment aloft, suchas government surveillance

radar tethered up to 15,000feet above U.S. borders.“Our view is that our ap-

proach is less risky, becausewe’re using a technologythat’s been out there fordecades,” Rein said.Altaeros has big aims —

no less than “making an im-pact on the global energy cri-sis,” Rein said — but it’sstarting small. Its 10 full-and part-time employeesshare a building with sevenother start-up companies ina former wool manufactur-ing factory in South Boston.Rein notes that before it

tries to bring the untappedpower of high-altitude windto thousands, his company isfirst developing a systemthat could bring power toabout 40 homes in remote ar-eas.“You start smaller... and

then you scale up over time,”Rein said. “We think that ap-proach makes a lot of sense.”

Companies look for power way, way up in the sky

associated press

Perhaps you’ve heard of him, per-haps not. Louis Zamperini has hadfame, lost it and seen it restored

more than once. That happens when youare 94 years old and must be re-intro-duced to succeeding generations.Zamperini was a juvenile delinquent,

then an Olympic distance runner whocompeted in the 1936 Olympics in

Berlin, Germany (he metAdolf Hitler and his chiefpropagandist, JosephGoebbels), then an ArmyAir Corps enlistee.Louis crashed in the

Pacific after a rescueplane developed enginetrouble. He floated for 47days on a raft before be-ing picked up by a Japan-ese warship. He and hissurviving buddies were

taken to a prison camp where they livedin subhuman conditions, sufferingunimaginable physical and mental tor-ture.Louis' incredible story of “survival,

resilience, and redemption,” has beenbrilliantly told in Laura Hillenbrand’slatest book, “Unbroken.” I read all 398pages in two sittings. For myself, the sonof a World War II veteran, whose fouruncles also served, it is another of those“greatest generation” books popularizedby Tom Brokaw. Reading it reinforcesone’s pride in being an American anddeepens the appreciation one feels for

those who gave their lives so that wecould live ours.On a recent visit to Washington, I

asked Louis if he was able to call upvivid memories of his friends who diedin the plane crash and the ones who sub-sequently died in the prison camp. Hetold me, “The memories never fade. It’slike indelible ink. When you go throughan intense period like we did, it’s brand-ed on your heart and mind.”When he thinks about those who died

and those with whom he served, doesMemorial Day make his memories evenmore vivid? “You have buddies in col-lege, buddies on the Olympic team, butthere’s something about combat buddiesthat it’s hard to explain.” He can neverforget and he doesn’t want to.Louis says he recently read about “a

kid who came back from Afghanistanabout three months ago. They fixed hisleg up and told him ‘Well, you can get outof the service now' and he told them, ‘no,I want to go back to Afghanistan to bewith my buddies.’ That’s the way it is inwar. It’s altogether different from ath-letics and close friends. My buddieswere a pilot, co-pilot and navigator.”I asked Laura Hillenbrand about this

much-chronicled generation. What doesshe think shaped it? “What struck meabout these people,” she begins, “is theyhad all gone through the Depression ...and while that was very difficult, it waslike they were being forged in fire. Ithink the men and women who came out

of the Depression were made of sternerstuff than people are today. And it madethem capable of getting through whatthey had to get through in the war. Itgave them a sense of purpose; it gavethem fortitude; it gave them an ability toendure. I think that may be the biggestdifference between that generation andnow. We have had it easier. We have ex-pectations we will be given certainthings and things will come without sac-rifice. That generation didn’t have that.”What would Hillenbrand say this Me-

morial Day to those who have lost lovedones in war? “I think the sacrifices thatare made by fighting men and womenare among the greatest you can make inyour life. This is an extraordinarilymeaningful way to spend your life,whether you survive or not. Some of themost beautifully liberating things in ourhistory have been done by fighting menand women. I hope there is some condo-lence for those who have lost someonethat their loved one was lost in the serv-ice of something so grand as what themilitary stands for.”“Unbroken” has spent 10 weeks at

number one and is currently numberseven on the New York Times Best Sell-ers List. It deserves to be in every Amer-ican home and Louis’ story should be inevery American heart.

Indiana to spend Memorial Day withRick’s folks. It has always been a combi-

nation of a fun familygathering with cook-outs and boat rides —and a solemn time ofremembrance and hon-or.My father-in-law,

Lloyd Perry, was in the14th Armored Divisionof General Patton’s3rdArmy. A bronzestar recipient, he neverspoke much about thewar, but he did speakclearly and earnestlywhen he reminded usthat freedom isn’t freeand should not be takenfor granted. He knewfirsthand what it was tofight for freedom, and

how many of his fellow soldiers gave theultimate sacrifice of their lives to keepAmerica free. That is what Memorial Day is all

about — honoring those who died serv-ing our country. Memorial Day was officially pro-

claimed on May 5, 1868, by Gen. Jon Lo-gan, national commander of the GrandArmy of the Republic when flowerswere placed on the graves of Union andConfederate soldiers at Arlington Na-tional Cemetery. After WWI the holidaychanged from honoring just those whodied fighting the Civil War to honoring

all Americans who died fighting in anywar.Sadly, today, many have forgotten the

meaning and traditions of Memorial Dayand some never really knew them. Wecelebrate Memorial Day, not just withsales and picnics, but to honor and re-member those who died fighting for ourfreedoms. At Arlington National Ceme-tery, like at many cemeteries across thenation, gravestones are decorated withAmerican flags.I am grateful to know the meaning

and traditions. The proper flag etiquetteis very specific on this day. On Memori-al Day, the flag is raised briskly to thetop of the staff and then solemnly low-

ered to the half-staff position,where it remainsonly until noon. Itis then raised tofull staff for theremainder of theday. The half-staff position re-

members the more than one million menand women who gave their lives in serv-ice of their country. At noon their memo-ry is raised by the living, who resolvenot to let their sacrifice be in vain, but torise up in their stead and continue thefight for liberty and justice for all.Each Memorial Day, Lloyd Perry per-

formed the flag ceremony in his beauti-ful yard on the lake, while family gath-ered to watch. He took the ceremony toheart and would end with a crisp, sharpsalute that only a true military man cando. He would not let the sacrifice of somany be in vain. His children, grand-children and great-grandchildren werethere to witness the tribute.On March 30, Lloyd left this earthly

life of 88 years. He left a hole in the

hearts of his family that will not befilled. He left a rich legacy for us all toremember and continue. This MemorialDay will be a tough one for us, but a glo-rious one for him.There was a poem he had glued in his

Bible. At his request, it was read at his fu-neral by our son, Russell. I share it nowas a tribute to those brave soldiers gonebefore, and to honor those still with us.

My Turn: Robin M. Perry

Memorial Day: Why we remember

Salisbury Post

Salisburyresident RobinM. Perry is aregular con-tributor to thePost. Contacther via editor@salisburypost.com.

Remembering a young manwho made ultimate sacrifice Memorial Day is a day to remember those who

gave their lives for our country. I remember ayoung man, Douglas Ray Noel, who died in theVietnam War. A few years ago, I found his grave in the Salis-

bury National Cemetery near the stone fence sep-arating the cemetery from the old Cone Mill. Hedied when two helicopters crashed together. Histombstone looked old when I saw it. I have foundhis name on the wall at the Vietnam Memorial inWashington. Doug was a year ahead of me at EastRowan High School and graduated in 1964. On theInternet, I have found comments from those whoserved with him in the Army. I remember Doug asa nice but mischievous young man whose life end-ed far too early.If you happen to walk through the old ceme-

tery, pause at his grave and thank him for the sac-rifice he gave. He is now forever young.

Seeking shelter from the stormI have a concern with the way Rowan County

deals with tornadic storms in our area. I live in amoble home, and I will explain my dilemma. I have been looking for a place to go in case of

bad weather. We have had a few tornadoes hit ourcounty this year. Last month, there was a break inthe TV programming when across the screencame an alert to all Rowan County citizens. It said:This is not a test. If you live in a mobile home inRowan, leave and seek shelter immediatly be-cause a tornado had been spotted on the ground. Of course, that is what I did. I took my disabled

wife and searched for shelter, and none for us wasto be found. We have been living in a mobile home for the

past 10 years.We have called the Sheriff’s Office,the fire department and the county office. Wewere told that where we vote on Old Concord Roadand Peach Orchard Road, there is a bomb shelter.But when we are told to leave our trailer and seekother shelter, it is always closed. My wife and Iare disabled, and it is hard for us to get around.The shelter is only two miles from our home, butwhen we go there, it is always closed. There are alot of mobile homes in our area, and if we did gethit, we would end up like Joplin, Mo.I think attention should be paid to this. The last

time an alert was put on the TV, we called theSheriff’s Office and asked where to go. They sug-gested we go to a house. We know no one here inour county. When we asked about shelters, he saidthey were only opened after a disaster has hap-pened and homes have been destroyed. Are we supposed to get in our car and drive

around in a tornado awaiting the disaster and atthe same time endangering ourselves by being ina car in the storm? We do not have anywhere elseto go. Can anyone please help us?

SALISBURY POST WORLD / NAT I ON MONDAY, MAY 30, 2011 • 13A

JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) — Faceto face with the legions ofhomeless and the bereaved,President Barack Obama onSunday toured the apocalyp-tic landscape left by Mis-souri’s killer tornado, con-soled the community andcommitted the governmentto helping rebuild shatteredlives.“We’re not going to stop

‘til Joplin’s back on its feet,”Obama vowed. A memorialservice where Obama spokepunctuated a day of remem-brance one week after thedisaster, as authoritiespressed on with the task ofidentifying the victims andvolunteers combed throughwreckage of neighborhoodswhere nothing was leftwhole.The service erupted in

cheers when Obama said, “Ipromise you your countrywill be there with you everysingle step of the way,” apledge he extended to allparts of the nation raked byviolent storms this season.The Joplin tornado was

the worst to hit the UnitedStates in decades, leavingmore than 120 dead and hun-dreds more injured. At least40 people remain unaccount-ed for.Air Force One flew over a

massive swath of brown — aland of flattened houses andstripped trees — on its ap-proach to Joplin. On theground, the destruction waseven more stark and com-plete. Obama confrontedpainful sights at every turnand said nothing in his lifemeasured up to what he sawthis day.Yet he spoke, too, of re-

demptive moments, the sto-icism of the community andtales of plain luck. He told astory of a man he talked towho had taken a chicken potpie out of the oven, heard thestorm was coming, hid in acloset and “came out withouta scratch.” Obama celebrat-ed the spirit of volunteerswho have flocked to Joplinto help, the pickup ownerswho ferried people to thehospital and the citizens wholined up for hours to donateblood to people they don’tknow.“You’ve demonstrated a

simple truth,” he told theservice, “that amid heart-break and tragedy no one isa stranger. Everybody is abrother. Everybody is a sis-ter. We can all love one an-other.”The crowd of hundreds at

the service reflected a com-munity in the midst of re-building: people in shortsand baseball caps, and plen-ty of babies who occasional-ly burst out crying. Thepresident talked over thescreeching until a baby washurried out by the mother.Obama got a notably

warm reception in this con-servative part of Missouri.His remarks were tailoredfor a religious service, withquotes from scripture, ref-erences to the love thatbinds people to each other,and comments on the essen-tial goodness of humanity.The stories of the storm leadus to “put aside our pettygrievances,” the presidentsaid. “There are heroes allaround us, all the time. So,in the wake of this tragedy,let us live up to their exam-ple: to make each daycount.”Known for his cool, even-

tempered demeanor, Obamaoffered his own brand ofcomforting: eloquent words,plentiful handshakes, somehugs, pats on the heads ofchildren, offers of “Godbless you.” Not for him theraw emotion Americans sawin his predecessors GeorgeW. Bush or Bill Clinton.

Before the service, Oba-ma’s motorcade pulled into aneighborhood where downedtrees cleaved open houses,roofs were stripped or blownoff, cars were cratered andsplintered wood was every-where. He saw nothing in-tact, but rather small domes-tic sights — a view into aroom with a TV still in place,a recliner sitting amid rub-ble, a washer-dryer standingnext to a decimated house.American flags were plant-ed here and there in themess.“Sorry for your loss,”

Obama told an anguishedwoman, hugging her twice asthey talked. Another womantold him that her uncle livesup the road — he survivedbut his house did not. “Tellyour uncle we’re praying forhim,” the president said.To those working at the

scene, the president said:“We appreciate everythingyou guys are doing. Godbless you.” One volunteertold him that people werecoming in from other statesto help in any way theycould.“This is not just your

tragedy,” Obama said. “Thisis a national tragedy, andthat means there will be a na-tional response.” He said:“We are going to be here longafter the cameras leave.”Hours after Obama’s

speech — at 5:41 p.m. Centraltime, to mark the first reportof the tornado — hundredsstood in Joplin’s CunninghamPark, in between wreckedcars and twisted poles, for amoment of silence.Many in the crowd wore

white T-shirts emblazoned,“Joplin’s Heart Will SingAgain.”“We will rebuild Joplin,”

City Manager Mark Rohrtold the crowd. “You havemy word on it.”Obama returned to the

U.S. on Saturday from a six-day European tour of Ire-land, Britain, France andPoland. After days of focus-ing on the U.S. relationshipwith the rest of the world,Sunday was about an evenmore critical connection: hisown, with the American peo-ple.Consoling his fellow

Americans is a task Obamahas had to assume with in-creasing frequency of late:after the mass shooting inArizona in January in whichRep. Gabrielle Giffords wasinjured; when tornadoesstruck Tuscaloosa, Ala., lastmonth; and, more recently,when flooding from the Mis-sissippi inundated parts ofMemphis, Tenn.Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon

and local clergy, some ofwhose churches were rav-aged, spoke at the service.Some people said it will helpthem grieve and move for-ward with rebuilding.“You need to talk about

it,” said Dorothy Iwan, 67,whose granddaughter wascaught in the storm but un-injured. “You need toprocess it. You need to knowpeople are behind you.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Lockheed Mar-tin has admitted it was the recent tar-get of a “significant and tenacious” cy-ber attack, although the defense con-tractor and the Department of Home-land Security insist the hack wasthwarted before any critical data wasstolen. But what about next time? Withtop-secret military programs at stake,staying a step ahead of ever-evolvingcyber spies is not just a task for corpo-rate IT departments, it’s a matter of na-tional security.Information security experts say the

rash of cyber attacks this year — in-cluding a massive security breach atSony Corp. last month that affected mil-lions of PlayStation users — has em-boldened hackers and made them morewilling to pursue sensitive information.“2011 has really lit up the boards in

terms of data breaches,” said JoshShaul, chief technology officer at Ap-plication Security, a New York-basedcompany that is one of the largest data-base security software makers. “Thelist of targets just grows and grows.”Lockheed Martin Corp. said in a

statement Saturday that it detected theMay 21 attack “almost immediately”and took countermeasures.“Our systems remain secure; no cus-

tomer, program or employee personaldata has been compromised,” theBethesda, Md.-based company said.Neither Lockheed Martin nor federalagencies would reveal specifics of theattack, or its origins. Company spokes-woman Jennifer Whitlow declined tocomment further on the case Sunday.

US troops in Afghanistanhold candlelight MemorialDay ceremony KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Near-

ly a decade later, after more than 1,400killed in combat, some U.S. troopspaused for a moment Sunday to remem-ber what brought America toAfghanistan and to honor the lives thatcontinue to be lost.Blackhawk helicopters churned

through the night sky as a strong windcoming over Kabul’s surroundingmountains blew against the flickeringcandles that cast an orange glow onthose gathered for the ceremony at theU.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ head-quarters.Earlier in the day, those working

there enjoyed one of their five days offa year from building police stations,dams and other projects in a nation tornby decades of war. Col. Thomas Mag-ness, 47, of Los Angeles urged the morethan 100 corps employees and U.S.troops gathered there to remember themeaning of Memorial Day — advicethat could carry home to America.“While we were playing volleyball

today, no doubt some soldier gave theultimate sacrifice,” the corps command-er said.Memorial Day, instituted to honor

America’s war dead, will be observedtonday with a public holiday. This Me-morial Day comes before the 10-yearanniversary of the Sept. 11 terror at-tacks, which ultimately brought U.S.troops into Afghanistan to unseat theTaliban government and hunt terroristleader Osama bin Laden.

He thought help had finally ar-rived when a truck pulled up to his prop-erty with a mobile home from the Fed-eral Emergency Management Agency.Then he got the call: Single-wide mo-

idents occupy temporary housing pro-vided by FEMA has sparked outrage inthis central Alabama town of 2,000, withangry citizens filling a meeting lastweek and circulating petitions to re-move the man many blame for the de-cision, Mayor Jack Scott.Ruston and many others view the

city’s decision as heartless, a sign thatleaders don’t care that some people arebarely surviving in the rubble of a blue-collar town.“People have to live somewhere.

Clashes erupt in Belgrade toprotest Mladic arrest; 3,000riot police deployedBELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Protest-

ers throwing stones and bottles clashedwith baton-wielding riot police Sundayin Belgrade after several thousand Ser-bian nationalist supporters of jailedwar-crimes suspect Ratko Mladic ral-lied outside the parliament building todemand his release.By the time the crowds broke up by

late evening, about 100 people were ar-rested and 16 minor injuries were re-ported. That amounted to a victory for

the pro-Western government, which ar-rested Mladic on Thursday, risking thewrath of the nationalist old guard in acountry with a history of much largerand more virulent protests.Rioters overturned garbage contain-

ers, broke traffic lights and set off fire-crackers as they rampaged throughdowntown. Cordons of riot policeblocked their advances, and skirmish-es took place in several locations in thecenter of the capital.Doctors said six police officers were

among the 16 people brought to a hos-pital with minor injuries. Police re-mained on the streets as the crowdsbroke up.The clashes began after a rally that

drew at least 7,000 demonstrators,many singing nationalist songs and car-rying banners honoring Mladic, the for-mer Bosnian Serb military command-er. Some chanted right-wing slogansand a few gave Nazi salutes.

Dentures save Brazil manshot in face, doctor saysSAO PAULO (AP) — An elderly

Brazilian man shot in the face escapeddeath when his dentures deflected abullet headed for his brain.A hospital official says that 81-year-

old Zacarias Pacheco de Moraes wasshot Thursday while working in a barhe owns in the small western city ofAlta Floresta.Jose Marcos da Silva was quoted by

Globo TV’s G1 website Saturday as say-ing that the bullet probably would havepierced Moraes’ brain if it hadn’t firsthit his dentures before lodging in histhroat. The official said the bullet willnot be removed immediately becausesurgery right now would be too risky.Silva said the patient was in stable

condition but in danger of losing partof his eyesight because of the bullet’strajectory. He did not elaborate.

In Arizona, 9/11 memorialpreaches vengeanceand tolerancePHOENIX (AP) — Matthew Salenger

etched 54 phrases in a circular piece ofsteel, building Arizona’s Sept. 11 memo-rial one story at a time. He wantedeveryone’s story to be told.Phrases like “10:28 a.m. WTC North

Tower Collapses” stated undisputedfacts. Then there was “Must BombBack” and its polar opposite: “You Don’tWin Battles of Terrorism With MoreBattles.” Gary Bird, a businessman andArizona’s sole Sept. 11 victim, was list-ed. So was a Sikh who was killed in ahate crime outside Phoenix, four dayslater.Salenger thought that all of those

thoughts could coexist peacefully on apublic memorial. He was wrong.“I think we overestimated how much

respect people would have for each oth-er and their views,” says Salenger, whowas one of the monument’s three de-signers. “People didn’t want to seesomething they don’t agree with in pub-lic.”The rivaling stories on the memori-

al touched off a bitter, yearslong strug-gle in Arizona over how Sept. 11 shouldbe publicly remembered. Here, as inthe rest of the United States, there areopposite and diverging opinions abouttolerance and patriotism, hate andpeace. And on the Phoenix memorial,those opinions are etched in steel, sideby side.

Syria says it will cooperateon nuclear probe but USpushes for UN referralNEW YORK (AP) — In a major turn-

around, Syria is pledging full coopera-tion with U.N. attempts to probe strongevidence that it secretly built a reactorthat could have been used to make nu-clear arms, according to a confidentialdocument shared with the AssociatedPress on Sunday.If Syria fulfills its promise, the move

would end three years of stonewallingby Damascus of the InternationalAtomic Energy. Since 2008, the agencyhas tried in vain to follow up on strongevidence that a target bombed in 2007by Israeli warplanes was a nearly builtnuclear reactor that would have pro-duced plutonium once active.Syria’s sudden readiness to cooper-

ate seems to be an attempt at derailingU.S.-led attempts to have Damascus re-ferred to the U.N. Security Councilamid already strong international pres-sure on the Syrian leadership to end itscrackdown on pro-democracy demon-strators.An IAEA report last week said the

Vienna-based agency “assesses that thebuilding destroyed ... was a nuclear re-actor” — the finding sought by Wash-ington and its allies to push to have Syr-ia reported to the council by a 35-na-tion IAEA board meeting next month.That, in turn, apparently triggered

Syria’s decision to compromise.

UN nuclear agency opensprobe for Malaysia plantKUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) —

Australian miner Lynas in easternMalaysia could curtail China’s monop-oly on the supply of rare earths formaking high-tech goods.Malaysia’s trade ministry said a del-

Libyan rebels: No oilproduction until fields safeBENGHAZI, Libya (AP) — The

COINCORD — Dale Earnhardt Jr.closed out a day of wild finishes Sun-day by running out of gas a half-lapshort of snapping his nearly three-year losing streak.Kevin Harvick sailed by Earn-

hardt coming out of the final turn inthe Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte MotorSpeedway, where Earnhardt wascomfortably out front in the closinglaps of NASCAR’s longest race of theyear. Earnhardt knew stretching hisgas to the finish was going to be

tough, but crew chief Steve Letarteordered him to go for broke.It capped a frantic few minutes of

strategy as nearly five hours of rac-ing came down to fuel mileage and afinal two-lap sprint to the finish.The crew chief begged Earnhardt

to not worry about gas and chasedown Greg Biffle and Kasey Kahneover the final 20 laps. But Letarte re-versed course when Kahne closed inon Biffle, and Matt Kenseth, who wasrunning fourth, stopped for gas.Figuring Biffle and Kahne would

try to exploit their misfortune. Itmight have worked, too, if HendrickMotorsports teammate Jimmie John-son’s engine didn’t fail four laps fromthe finish.Biffle had to stop for gas under

caution, and Kahne and Earnhardtlined up side-by-side for the finalrestart.Earnhardt, on the bottom, got a

KANNAPOLIS — Hager-stown’s Bryce Harper’s firstat-bat on Saturday eveningproduced a mild buzz fromthe 2,572 fans in attendance,at Fieldcrest Cannon Stadi-um and a lazy flyball to leftfield.“Who’s No. 1 now!”

barked a pleased KannapolisIntimidators fan.The 6-foot-3 Harper’s sec-

ond at-bat yielded his 26thwalk of the season, and histhird at-bat won’t be forgot-ten by anyone who saw it.Harper, who bats left and

throws right, mashed a 2-0fastball the way MickeyMantle used to hit themwhen he was healthy —maybe the way Babe Ruth

launched them in the Roar-ing Twenties.“He had to come to me on

2-0,” Harper said quietly.

“I’m just looking for some-thing I can drive. I haven’tbeen going that well lately,but sometimes it happens.”It happened.There was no doubt

where that severely bruisedbaseball was headed as soonas it was introduced to Harp-er’s bat, but it still took quitea while to get there. After amajestic flight, it finally de-scended, way out there be-yond the center-field fence.“He actually hasn’t hit

many homers that lookedlike that,” said Hagerstownplay-by-play broadcasterBryan Holland. “Most of hishomers are hard-hit linersthat just keep carrying.”Harper received a signing

bonus of $6.25 million from

EAST SPENCER — North Rowan’s 1Abasketball champions have been honored atexotic venues this season, but they probablygot as big a kick out of Saturday’s informalcookout at the Mitchell residence on EastSpencer’s Grant Street as they did being in-troduced at Time Warner Cable Arena athalftime of a Bobcats game.The Cavaliers haven’t received their

championship rings yet, but it’s a festivemoment in history for a school that feels,with good reason, that it turned the athleticcorner during the 2010-11 school year.“It’s a beautiful time,” said Geraldine

Mitchell, the hostess of Saturday’s soireeand the mother of boys basketball coach An-drew Mitchell.North’s boys outdoor track team also won

a state title, with several basketball players

contributing. Girls track was state runner-up. The wrestling team made a serious run.The football team won the conference. Thebaseball team reached the third round of theplayoffs, and the girls soccer and softballalso were in the 1A playoffs this spring.“I think the whole atmosphere is good

right now under (principal) Darrell McDow-ell,” Andrew Mitchell said. “Good sportsteams are very good for school morale.”Green and gold were everywhere. That

was the color scheme for the tablecloths, theballoons, the cups, even the napkins. Thefried chicken, potato salad, barbecuedbeans, slaw, hamburgers and hotdogsweren’t green and gold, but they were tasty.While the gala began strictly as a celebra-

tion of the school’s hoops heroes, invitationswere eventually extended to other Northsports teams and even to the Salisbury girls

MOORESVILLE — Theseason isnot start-ing out theway South

Rowan head coach MichaelLowman would like, as histeam fell to (0-2) Sunday witha 7-4 loss to Mooresville.South spotted the Moors

too many runs and commit-ted too many errors in theearly innings and could nev-er catch up.South welcomed back

starting pitcher Dylan Walk-er from college ball and hepitched well but showed a bitof rust from not throwingvery much as a freshman atCatawba Valley CommunityCollege.

“ D y l a nd e s e r v e dbetter be-hind himtonight thanwhat he got,but he madesome goodpitches, andlike I said,just couldn’tget the help

in the field,” Lowman said.This game turned bad ear-

ly in more ways than on thescoreboard for South in thethird inning. A scary momentthat happens often in baseballoccurred.Shortstop Gunnar Hogan

and second baseman ConnorBridges both began to chaseafter a hard-hit grounder byMooresville shortstop JoshSkidmore when both Southinfielders slid and collidedwith each other, producing a“thud” that could be heard in

BY CHIP SCOGGINSMinneapolis Star Tribune

Former Carolina Panthersquarterback Chris Weinkehad an itch to get into coach-ing after his NFL careerended in 2008, but he wasn’tsure where or at what level.

Sports is part of his DNA.A decorated athlete atCretin-Derham Hall in St.Paul, Minn., Weinke won anational championship andthe Heisman Trophy as aquarterback at Florida State.He played professional base-ball before college, andstarted 20 games at quarter-back in his seven NFL sea-sons.

But Weinke hadn’t estab-lished any concrete long-term plans after his athleticcareer finally ended.

“Played a lot of golf,” the38-year-old said.

His life took a newcourse, however, after heran into a staff member ofthe renowned IMG Academyat a Florida State footballgame. That spurred aprocess that led Weinke tobecome director of the IMGMadden Football Academy,which opened last spring inBradenton, Fla.

Known for its work withgolf and tennis prodigies,IMG hired Weinke to helplaunch its football academy,which offers specializedcamps and instruction forplayers at all levels.

His clientele includes a13-year-old quarterbackfrom Kentucky, high schoolkids hoping to earn a collegescholarship and ... Cam New-ton, the 2010 Heisman Tro-phy winner from Auburnand recent No. 1 overall pickin the NFL draft.

Weinke also began work-ing privately with Vikingsquarterback Joe Webb lastweek, and first-round pickChristian Ponder, a fellowFlorida State alum, is sched-uled to join them this week.

Weinke spends hoursevery day working on thefield and in the film roomwith a diverse group of play-ers at different stages oftheir careers.

“That’s why I say it’s thebest job in the world,”Weinke said.

The football academy isopen to players at all posi-tions, but Weinke works pri-marily with quarterbacksfor obvious reasons. His dai-ly regimen with Newton pro-vides a glimpse of Weinke’sdesire to make the academya place where quarterbacksreceive specialized training.

Newton, who was selectedNo. 1 overall by the CarolinaPanthers, trained at IMG be-fore his pro day workout andreturned recently because ofthe ongoing NFL lockout.

Weinke scheduled his own“four-day minicamp” withNewton, who brought hisCarolina playbook with him.Weinke said they worked inthe classroom for 90 minutesgoing over plays and defens-es in the morning, followedby 90 minutes of work on thefield. They returned to theclassroom after lunch foranother 90-minute study ses-sion. Newton had the optionof a second throwing sessionin the afternoon.

“We’re spending about 3to 31⁄2 hours a day in theclassroom installing his of-fense and watching video,”Weinke said. “We filmeverything, we video it, weanalyze it. We come back inthe afternoon and do somemore installation and reviewsome video. It’s really simi-lar to what they would faceif they went to a minicampfollowing the draft.”

Weinke said the work isespecially important forrookies because of the lock-out. The players don’t havethe luxury of minicamps andorganized team activities tolearn their systems. Theycan’t even communicatewith their coaches duringthe lockout. Weinke saidPonder, the No. 12 overallpick, is scheduled to trainwith him for one month andwill get plenty of film study.

“I’ll do the same thingwith him (as Newton),”Weinke said. “There will bean installation of the offense,for him to get familiar withthe verbiage and the con-cepts. We’ll take all that in-formation and go to the fieldand apply all of that.”

Ponder and Webb are rep-resented by the sameagency, SportsTrust Advi-

sors. Ponder received a por-tion of the Vikings playbookwhen he visited Winter Parkafter the draft. Webb got acopy of it when the lockoutwas lifted for one day.Weinke will help the twoquarterbacks begin to learnVikings offensive coordina-tor Bill Musgrave’s system.

“...I know both Joe andChristian will have theirplaybook, and my under-standing is the goal is towork on their footwork andinstalling their plays asmuch as possible whilethey’re down there,” said PatDye Jr., who is Webb’sagent. (Jimmy Sexton repre-sents Ponder.)

Weinke evaluates quar-terbacks’ mechanics on thefield and offers tips and sug-gestions. He also videotapesthe sessions and reviewsthem with the players after-ward.

“I’m not here to changethese guys,” he said. “I’mhere to really refine theirskills and help them or pointthings out.”

While Weinke’s work withNFL players attracts moreattention, he spends the ma-jority of his time instructingyouth and high school play-ers in camps and individualsessions.

Weinke said the acade-my’s inaugural weekendcamp last summer drew 130players from 26 states. Fivejunior high kids enrolled inthe school on the IMG cam-pus for year-round training.Weinke even anticipatesfielding a high school andjunior varsity programstarting in the fall of 2012.

Weinke, the Heisman win-ner in 2000, describes hisnew career as a “perfect fit.”

“I’ve always said I was astudent of the game. I could-n’t run fast, couldn’t jump. Iwas blessed with a decentarm. But at the end of theday for me to have any suc-cess, I had to be a student ofthe game. That’s reallywhere I think I can separate(myself) in terms of theteaching aspect of it. That Idid understand the game,that I spent a lot of timestudying the game. Playersare always trying to find anedge.”

Weinke calls new signals as QB guru

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — TomWatson had stood over puttslike this pressure-packed 3-footer at the Senior PGAChampionship for most ofhis adult life.

Why dawdle?"I didn't take much time

Watson summoned upsome of his old major mag-ic, holing the short birdieputt on the first playoff holeto beat David Eger on Sun-day.

The 61-year-old Watson,down a shot with four holesleft in regulation, becamethe oldest player to win amajor since the senior tourwas created in 1980. He alsobecame the second-oldestwinner of the Senior PGA,behind only Jock Hutchisonwho was 62 in 1947.

"If this is the last tourna-ment I ever win, it's not abad one," Watson said. "I'mkind of on borrowed time outhere at 61."

INDIANAPOLIS — DanWheldon was zipping towardthe final corner of Sunday’sIndianapolis 500, surely figur-ing the best he could do wasanother runner-up finish.

Then he came upon JRHildebrand’s crumpled car,all smashed up and slidingalong the wall.

The rookie had made theultimate mistake with his verylast turn of the wheel, andWheldon, not Hildebrand,made an improbable turn intoVictory Lane.

“It’s obviously unfortunate,but that’s Indianapolis,” saidWheldon, who won Indy in2005 and finished second thelast two years. “That’s why it’sthe greatest spectacle in rac-ing. You never now what’s go-ing to happen.”

This might have been thewhackiest one ever.

In his first event of theyear, Wheldon captured theultimate IndyCar prize. Butthe 100th anniversary of the“Greatest Spectacle in Rac-ing” will be rememberedmore for the guy who let it slipaway with the checkered flagin sight.

Leading by almost 4 sec-onds and needing to make itaround the 21/2-mile track justone more time, Hildebrandcruised through the first threeturns with no problem.

The fourth one got him. Hewent too high, lost control andslammed into the outside wall.Wheldon sped past, whileHildebrand’s battered ma-chine skidded across the line2.1 seconds behind, still hug-ging the concrete barrier.

“It’s a helpless feeling,”Hildebrand said.

The 23-year-old Californiangot into trouble when he cameup on another rookie, CharlieKimball, going much sloweras they approached the lastcorner. Instead of backing off,the leader moved to the out-side to make the pass — a de-cision that sent him slamminginto the wall to a collectivegasp from the crowd of250,000.

“I caught him in the wrongpiece of track,” Hildebrandsaid. “I got up in the marblesand that was it.”

While Wheldon celebratedhis second Indy 500 win, se-ries officials reviewed thevideo to see if Wheldon passedthe wrecked machine beforethe caution lights went on. Heclearly did, and Hildebrand’steam said it wouldn’t protestthe result.

That gave the Brit anotherspot on the Borg-Warner Tro-phy.

Not bad, considering hedoesn’t even have a full-timejob.

“I just felt a lot of relief.It’s an incredible feeling,”

Wheldon said. “I never gaveup.”

He took the traditionalswig of milk and headed offon a triumphant lap aroundthe speedway — a lap thatHildebrand should have beentaking.

Instead, the youngsterstopped by the garage to geta look at his mangled car,which was hauled throughGasoline Alley instead of be-ing wheeled into Victory Lane.He’s now in the company ofathletes such as Jean Van deVelde, who squandered athree-shot lead on the last holeof the 1999 British Open, andLindsey Jacobellis, whose hot-dogging wipeout at the 2006Winter Olympics cost her a

certain gold medal.They had it in the bag —

and threw it all away.“I’m just frustrated. It’s not

because we came in here withthe expectation of winningand we didn’t,” Hildebrandsaid. “I felt like I just made amistake and it cost our boys.I guess that’s why rookiesdon’t win the Indianapolis 500a whole lot, and we’ll be backnext year, I guess.”

After losing his ride fromlast season — with Hilde-brand’s team, no less — Whel-don had plenty of time to hangout with his wife and twoyoung children, while alsodealing with the burden of hismother being diagnosed withAlzheimer’s.

Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki, left, works with stat coachRoland Beech during practice.

The matchup everyone wants Associated Press

MIAMI — It’s thematchup that basketball fansmight really want to see.

Not Heat vs. Mavericks.LeBron vs. Dirk.

There’s a chance at somepoint in the NBA finals,which begin Tuesday whenDallas visits Miami, thatHeat forward LeBron Jamesmay find himself guardingMavs star Dirk Nowitzki.

If it happens, James saidhe will accept the challenge.

“People see me as a reallygood defender and him asthe best offensive player,”James said. “So they auto-matically put me on him.Whatever it takes. If I needto guard him throughout thecourse of the series, I will. Itdoesn’t matter to me.”

The Heat will likely use anarray of players on Nowitzki,including Chris Bosh, JoelAnthony and Udonis Haslem,

who fared particularly wellagainst the 7-foot sharpshoot-er when Miami beat Dallas inthe 2006 title series.

“I don’t think the samethings that worked fiveyears ago will work thisyear,” Haslem said. “It’s go-ing to be a team effort. ...When he gets the ball, every-body has to be at attention.”

For his part, Nowitzkisounds like he’ll be preparedfor whatever Miami has.

“They’re a very goodteam with three superstarswho can really, really de-fend,” Nowitzki said.“They’ve showed that in theplayoffs so far. They’re verygood defensively. Yeah, it’sgoing to be a challenge.Hopefully we’re going to beup for it.”

•OH, HAIL!: The Mavericks

won’t be flying their usualteam plane to Miami on Sun-day. Hail that pummeled the

Dallas-Fort Worth area in re-cent days damaged both jetsowned by team owner MarkCuban.

Since the startof the 2005-06 season, Le-Bron James has played in376 wins, second-most in theNBA behind Lakers pointguard Derek Fisher (378). ...If he plays in the first threegames of the finals, Maver-icks sixth-man Jason Terrywill be the first NBA playerto appear in 100 games thisseason. Four members of theOklahoma City Thunder —James Harden, Serge Ibaka,Eric Maynor and RussellWestbrook — appeared in99. ...

who struggled mightily mostof the race, and that includedHamlin, who changed his car-buretor late in the race to dropfrom fourth to 27th with 99laps to go.“My eyes got huge when I

saw everyone was running outin front of us,” Hamlin said.Same for Harvick, who

complained from the veryfirst laps about the handlingof his Chevrolet, some pit callsby crew chief Gil Martin anda debris caution fromNASCAR that Harvick doubt-

ed was legitimate.But he somehow worked

his way toward the front, andput himself in position to stealthe win 500 yards from thefinish.“We were lucky,” Harvick

said from Victory Lane. “It’snothing against the race track,I just don’t like racing here. Itjust doesn’t fit what I do. Igriped and griped and gripedall day long about how terri-ble it was. I just had a bad at-titude.”

RACEFROM 1B

Earnhardt looks at bright sideAssociated Press

The Coca-Cola 600 notebook ...CONCORD — Dale Earnhardt Jr. was

fast enough in practices leading up to theCoca-Cola 600 that he should have thoughtof himself as a contender. His results overthe last three years made that impossible.“I wasn’t confident this weekend,” Earn-

hardt said. “Even though the lap timeswere great and the car was really good, Iwas thinking, ‘Yeah, yeah, I’ve seen thisbefore. We’ll see what really happens.’”It was under that thinking that left Earn-

hardt relaxed and even cracking a smile ortwo after running out of gas on the final lapwhile holding the lead Sunday night atCharlotte Motor Speedway. It turned a vic-tory into a seventh place finish and extend-ed his winless streak to 105 races.“I almost won this race,” a sweaty Earn-

hardt said next to his car in the garage mo-ments after the stunning finish. “Next timeI come back here I’ll be more confidentwhen I show up.”Earnhardt insisted he wasn’t crushed by

the finish and Kevin Harvick’s surprisingvictory. He said he knew he didn’t haveenough gas to finish the race, and actuallyran out on the backstretch. His car didn’tslow until the final turn.The closest he’s come to a victory since

winning at Michigan in 2008 didn’t dampenthe enthusiasm of his supporters, who burstinto cheers when he appeared for an inter-view on the giant video screen after the race.“What can you do?” he said. “We came

close. I hate it for our fans. All the peoplewho come out here and support us. Theyput so much into it and we were trying sohard to win a race and give themselvessomething to cheer about. We’re going tokeep working.”

•NATIONAL GUARD’S BAD LUCK: There

were plenty of similarities to the end of theIndianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600. JRHildebrand wrecked in the final turn togive up the lead at Indy and Dale Earn-hardt Jr. ran out of gas on the final lap atCharlotte to lose the lead.The other thing that ties them together:

They’re both sponsored by the NationalGuard.“It’s tough, two races today for National

Guard,” Earnhardt said. “I hope they don’tfeel too slighted by the fortunes we had.”While Earnhardt shook off his heart-

breaking loss by saying he knew he wasgoing to run out of gas, he seemed moredistress with Hildebrand’s mistake thatcost the 23-year-old rookie the win at theBrickyard.“That kid did a lot this morning in the

Indy race,” Earnhardt said. “They shouldbe real proud of their efforts and howclose they came. It’s just an unfortunatesituation for him passing the lapped carthere.”

•KYLE BUSCH’S WOES: The NASCAR

week kicked off with the jarring news ofKyle Busch being ticketed for driving 128mph in a 45 mph zone on a public road.The week ended with the strange sight

of Busch having trouble with an ill-han-dling car and falling out of contention inthe Coca-Cola 600.“Honestly, Kyle was just trying to make

something out of nothing,” said crew chiefDave Rogers, who indicated the car was so

much trouble to control in traffic “wecouldn’t get out of our own way.”Busch led twice for 61 laps early in the

race before running into problems over thefinal 100 laps. The first mishap came whenhe spun out and skidded into thefrontstretch. He was able to avoid damag-ing the front of his car and later returnedto the track.He wasn’t out long.Busch soon lost control of his car again

and hit the outside wall. He came back tothe track briefly, but struggled to keep thecar going straight and was soon in thegarage.“Kyle just tried to do the impossible and

that’s why we love him,” Rogers said. “Weknow he gives us 100 percent and he does-n’t ever leave any on the table. Tonight hejust tried to take a little bit too much and itgot away from him. That’s part of racing.”

•BIFFLE’S WILD NIGHT: Greg Biffle began

the race hot and miserable. He finished itcool, collected — and nearly in VictoryLane.The cooling device in Biffle’s car picked

a bad time to stop working — with thetrack temperature approaching 140 de-grees at the beginning of the race. As thecrew talked of how to try to replace the de-vice, he was given bags of ice and water onhis first pit stop.But that stop ended with him speeding

off pit road, leading to a pass-throughpenalty as the team scrambled DavidStremme to be a standby driver if Bifflecouldn’t handle the heat.Biffle later was angered when he

thought they were going to replace hiscooling system on another stop, only towork on another part of the car.“You guys are something else. Unbe-

lievable,” Biffle said on the radio. “I don’tknow the plan.”Biffle finally took an extended stop

about halfway through the race to fix thecooling system — dropping to 34th place —before beginning a slow climb to the front.Biffle shot to the lead with 50 laps to go

and was in front until he had to come in toput late and finished 13th.

•UP IN SMOKE: In a single lap, Jamie Mc-

Murray went from being in the lead to outof the race with a blown engine.With a paint scheme that helped promote

the tornado victims of his hometown ofJoplin, Mo., McMurray’s No. 1 Chevrolet ledfive laps after a caution midway through therace when Matt Kenseth passed him.Seconds later, McMurray’s engine blew,

billowing white smoke out of the back ofhis car to mark the end of his night.

North Rowan basketball coach Andrew Mitchell hangs a banner from the carport of his parents’ home in East Spencer.

basketball squad.New faces streamed in

steadily to the affair, keepingRobert Bowman, father ofyoung basketball standoutMichael Bowman, hopping onthe grill.

“My mother actually doesthis a lot,” explained CoachMitchell, who was joined byfive siblings and a small armyof nieces and nephews. “Whenshe cooks, she welcomes thewhole community.”

The towering rented waterslide got a workout from ex-cited youngsters, althoughthe slide no doubt trembledat the arrival of muscularsenior Javon Hargrave, abasketball and track standoutwho will play his best sport— football — at South Caroli-na State. At some point, Har-grave has sacked just abouteveryone in western NorthCarolina.

“If Hargrave slides, thatmight be the last slide of theday, “quipped basketball assis-tant coach Tim Bates.

“Hollywood” Hargrave isone of North’s double statechampions, a sweet place tobe after he toiled on a 7-17basketball unit in 2009 and a2008 football team that didn’ttaste victory on the field.

“We went through it all toget these state champi-onships,” Hargrave said.“There were years of losingwhere we didn’t even makethe playoffs.”

Another double state cham-pion is still uncommitted su-per senior Sam Starks.

“It’s unbelievable to wintwo state championships, andI can appreciate it because it’sa feeling most people neverget to experience,” Starks

said. “It means a lot, especial-ly getting to do it with guysI’ve known all my life. I’veknown these guys since wewere so small that we just ranaround without a ball.”

Football star and basketballrole player Amani Bates did-n’t have much luck defendingHargrave on the 8-foot goal inthe Mitchell’s driveway —without officials, pretty goodflops go unrewarded — buthe’s thankful he had a chanceto be part of something veryspecial his senior year.

“Football didn’t turn outquite as well as we hoped, so Ihad to find another way,”Bates said. “We were able towin a basketball champi-onship by playing defense andhaving faith in CoachMitchell’s system.”

T.J. Bates, North’s defen-sive stopper and Western Re-gional MVP, couldn’t resistpicking up one of the half-dozen basketballs lying withinreach, and he was soon duel-ing with 7-year-old R.J. John-son, a shooter who looks likehe could carry the Cavaliersto several more titles, startingin about 2019.

Johnson was hard to stopshoeless and shirtless. He wason fire after switching to hisLeBron James jersey.

A large banner proclaiming“Welcome State Champions”hung from the carport, and aseach Cavalier proudly auto-graphed that streamer withbold statements such as “T.J.Bates, No. 23, MVP,” it wasapparent the comebacks, thecardiac-attacks and cama-raderie of last March won’t beforgotten anytime soon.

Obviously, it’s been an in-credible school year in thecounty with seven state titlesalready in the books, and withEast Rowan softball capableof bringing home No. 8 nextweek.

North, seemingly on theropes not long ago, has been aleader in that glorious charge.

“ We’ve come through alot,” Hargrave said. “It reallyhas been an amazing year.”

Cavaliers slowly trickledinto Saturday’s celebration,giving Coach Mitchell achance to get in the last word.

“These guys are never ear-ly for anything,” he said witha laugh. “Except the gym.”

the Washington Nationals, whomade him the first pick of lastsummer’s draft. He won’t turn19 until October, but he’sthriving in the South AtlanticLeague where almost all theplayers are in their early 20s.

“There’s a reason he was thefirst pick, and you saw it onthat home run to dead center,”said Hagerstown manager Bri-an Daubach, who enjoyed four20-homer seasons for theBoston Red Sox from 1999-2002. “Bryce has a ton of talent.He runs above average. He hasa plus arm.”

The long homer was the11th for Harper, who’s been ina mini-slump. He still ranksamong the SAL leaders inRBIs (35) and is batting ahealthy .326.

“Bryce is an absolute phe-nom,” said Hagerstown out-fielder Wade Moore, the for-mer West Rowan and Catawbastar. “He can impact a game inso many ways.”

Nationals fans understandablyare antsy for Harper to climb theminor-league ladder and can’t be-lieve he hasn’t already been pro-moted to Potomac, Va.

“Bryce is a quick learnerand learning every day, but

he’s making the defensive ad-justment from catcher to out-field, and that’s a tough adjust-ment,” Daubach said. “He’slearning when to try to throwout a baserunner and when notto, and when to try for that ex-tra base. What he needs mostis game experience. He’s get-ting that.”

Baseball fans are primarilyfixated on Harper’s prodigiouspower from the left side.Scouts have compared his pic-turesque swing to that ofWillie McCovey and Willie

Stargell, and he drilled a ballon May 12 in his home parkagainst Delmarva that leftpeople gasping in disbelief.

“It was amazing,” said Hol-land, who has seen all of Harp-er’s games. “It was a grandslam, part of a six-RBI game,and it carried over two sets ofsignage.”

Holland believes Harper’sbat is so lethal that his otherskills may be under-rated.

“I think his defense is wayunder the radar,” Hollandsaid. “He’s made diving catch-

es, unbelievably strongthrows. He’s had two outfieldassists in the same game.Everybody talks about five-tool guys, but not many big-league teams actually havethem. Bryce is as five-toolsyas it gets.”

Holland said Harper, whosported orange cleats, plays“like his hair is on fire,” an in-tensity that combines with hisphysical package to make hima unique prospect.

Daubach said games likeSaturday’s sluggish 10-5 winagainst the Intimidators areimportant to Harper’s devel-opment as a pro.

“We played a doubleheaderFriday, our wakeup call todaywas at 5 a.m., and then we hada long trip to get down here,”Daubach said. “Guys have tolearn to still give 100 percenton days like this, even if theyfeel 85 percent. Bryce hasgreat skills, but it’s the efforthe brings that sets him apart.”

Harper’s appearances gen-erally trigger a media and fancircus that has to be tiresome,but he was accommodating onSaturday, signing patiently foreach of the 40 or so fans whowaited for him at the Hager-stown bus.

“Bryce is a genuine guy,”Moore said. “For all his talent,he loves this game. He plays itthe right way.”

SEATTLE — Even though it came on aday CC Sabathia didn’t need much, he's notgoing to complain about the run support he'sbeen receiving.

Sabathia (6-3) was again the Yankeesstopper. He won for the third time in fourtries when pitching after a loss, allowingjust two hits through five innings beforegiving up a solo homer to Seattle’s JustinSmoak in the sixth inning.

He also won for the sixth straight timeagainst the Mariners and improved to 8-1in 11 starts at Safeco Field. In his last sixstarts against Seattle, Sabathia has a 0.82ERA.

Angels 6, Twins 5MINNEAPOLIS — Erick Aybar had

three hits and three RBIs and Dan Harenearned his first win since April 17 in LosAngeles’ victory over Minnesota.

Mark Trumbo hit a 436-foot homer inthe ninth, and Jordan Walden got his 12thsave.

Posey officially out for yearMILWAUKEE (AP) — San Francisco Giants catcher

Buster Posey is out for the season after having surgerySunday to repair three torn ligaments in his ankle sus-tained in a collision at home plate last week.

“He’s not going to be back this season,” head athlet-ic trainer Dave Groeschner said in a conference call withreporters. “He will have another surgery somewhere inthe 8- to 10-week mark to take out some of that hard-ware that the doctors put in. That’s already determined.... Add that to rehab time, and I don’t see him making itback this season.”

Groeschner said Posey had two screws inserted intohis lower leg to stabilize the ankle.

Right now, if your local government is consideringa change for your neighborhood, it has to leteveryone in the community know about it.Officials have to put it in the newspaper.

Why? Because changes can affect more than justthe person next door. It can affect a whole town.

By placing a public notice in the newspaper, theads are published in a place where the publicwill actually notice them.

But some legislators in Raleigh believe lettinglocal government officials simply post thesenotices on their own rarely viewed websites isgood enough.

North Carolina deserves better.

Tell your legislators to oppose H.B. 472.

Tell them not to take the PUBLIC out of publicnotices.

If you are uncertain who your legislator is, go to www.ncpress.com for a link to discover who represents you.

Sir Laurens Jan van derPost, an Afrikaner author and,inter alia, godfather of PrinceWilliam, said, “Human beingsare perhaps never more fright-ening than when they are con-vinced beyond doubt that theyare right.”Recently I played in and ran

social games in which strangebids and plays arose. Often thepost-mortem analysis was ...well, frightening.In today’s deal, you have

the South hand. You open onespade, and partner raises to

two spades. What would you donow?You get five shortage points

for your void because youhave at least a nine-card fit. Soyou could jump to four spades.But you might have a slam. Itis best to rebid three dia-monds, a help-suit game-try,hoping partner shows enthusi-asm. (Here, North should re-bid four clubs, which says thathe is bidding game, has gooddiamonds, and holds the clubace.) Alternatively, you couldjump to four clubs, a splinterbid that ought to show a voidsince partner is weak and youcouldn’t open two clubs.

What happened at thetable? South passed over twospades! West naively balancedwith a takeout double. NowNorth should have rebid threediamonds, which would havegiven them a chance at thebest contract of six diamonds.(Note that six spades fails ifWest leads the diamond aceand gives his partner a dia-mond ruff.) But North passed.East advanced with threeclubs, South passed, Westpassed, North competed withthree spades, and South passedagain. It made six on a clublead.In the post-mortem, neither

North nor South felt anythinguntoward had happened.Frightening.

Dear Dr. Gott: I have anopen wound on my leg thatmy surgeon thought was aninfection. After eight surger-ies, I was eventually diag-nosed (by a dermatologist)

with a rareimmune-sys-tem disordercalled pyoder-ma gangreno-sum. I stillhave the openwound aftertwo years. Itis healingvery slowly.Please tell mewhat youknow about

this condition.Dear Reader: Pyoderma

gangrenosum is a rare skincondition that causes slow-healing, painful ulcers toform, typically on the legs.

The cause is not currentlyknown but is thought to be anabnormal immune response.About half of all sufferershave an underlying immunedisorder. Health conditionsthat may be related includerheumatoid arthritis, lupus,vasculitis, leukemia, sar-coidosis, hepatitis and, partic-ularly, inflammatory-boweldiseases, such as ulcerativecolitis and Crohn’s disease.Lesions typically start as

one or more small, red bumpsthat can resemble a spiderbite that progresses to be-come a painful, open woundwith a reddish-purple border.Other symptoms include ageneral feeling of poorhealth, achy joints and bonepain. Scarring is common.If an underlying health

condition is associated withpyoderma gangrenosum,

treating it may help controlthe sores, but often directtreatment of the ulcers willalso be necessary. The pri-mary course of action is oralsteroids, which reduce in-flammation and somewhatsuppress the immune system.Mild cases may require onlytopical steroids. Because sideeffects are common, it is im-portant to use the lowestdosage that provides resultsfor the shortest period oftime. Other drugs include im-munosuppresant medica-tions, tumor necrosis factorinhibitors, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs) and high-dose in-travenous immunoglobin.Surgery isn’t commonly

considered an option becauseskin trauma, including surgi-cal incisions, may worsen ex-isting lesions and/or cause

new ones to develop. In casesof severe ulceration, skingrafting or debriding (clean-ing away dead skin/tissue) canbe beneficial but must bedone carefully, preferably bya skilled surgeon familiarwith pyoderma gangrenosum.With treatment, healing

typically occurs within sev-eral months. Without it, thesores may remain the same,worsen or heal even moreslowly than those with treat-ment.Sufferers should be gentle

with their skin and take careto avoid injury. It is impor-tant to follow your physi-cian’s care instructions in or-der to speed healing and re-duce scarring.

Dear Dr. Gott: Many of ushave lived the frustration oftrying to get help for a men-tally ill adult daughter. Be-

cause the brain is the dys-functioning organ in this ill-ness, the person has no in-sight into the condition and,thus, refuses to help. Mostmentally ill people know howto “shape up” when appear-ing before a judge so it’s dif-ficult to have the persondeemed a “danger to them-selves or others,” which is thecriteria for forced treatmentin most states. The tragic partis the fine line between dan-gerous and non-dangerousand, way too often, the firstevidence that would enablethis classification causesdeath or injury to an innocentperson or a mentally ill per-son. I would recommend thatparents attend a supportgroup in their area for fami-lies of the mentally ill. A goodplace to start iswww.NAMI.org.

Dear Reader: You are cor-rect that forcing treatment

can be incredibly difficultand often leads to hard feel-ings, even though it is for thepatient’s benefit. NAMI, theNational Alliance on MentalIllness, is one of the leadingmental-health advocacy or-ganizations in the UnitedStates. They work to provideand improve support, educa-tion, advocacy and research.You can learn more aboutthem and the services theyprovide on their website or bycalling (800) 950-NAMI(6264).

Federer sets recordAssociated Press

PARIS — Roger Federerset another Grand Slamrecord Sunday, extending hisquarterfinal streak at majortournaments to 28 with a 6-3,6-2, 7-5 victory over Olympicgold medal doubles partnerStanislas Wawrinka at theFrench Open.

The 16-time major champi-on, who completed a careerGrand Slam at Roland Garrosin 2009, improved on the markhe shared with Jimmy Con-nors.

The last time Federerfailed to reach the quarterfi-nals at a major was at the 2004French Open, when he was thetop-seeded player but lost toGustavo Kuerten in the thirdround.

“Twenty-eight quarterfi-nals in a row, that’s great,”Federer said. “But that’s an-other opportunity for me to goone step further.”

Also Sunday, AnastasiaPavlyuchenkova knocked outthe highest seeded player re-maining in the women’s draw,beating No. 3 Vera Zvonareva7-6 (4), 2-6, 6-2 to earn a spotin the quarterfinals.

Later, Novak Djokovic putshis perfect season on the line.On the women’s side, defend-ing champion Francesca Schi-avone and No. 10 JelenaJankovic are scheduled to bein action.

Federer again dominatedwith his serve in his match onCourt Philippe Chatrier . Hewas broken once early in thethird set, but broke back twiceto remain one of the four play-ers to have won every matchin straight sets.

“I was playing with thewind against me, and it wasa bad game because all of asudden there was morewind, and I had the feelingthat I was playing againstthe wind and not againstStan,” Federer said. “So inthe end I made wrong deci-sions.”

Federer also beat Wawrin-ka, his Davis Cup teammate,in the quarterfinals of theAustralian Open. In 2008, theSwiss pair teamed up to winthe doubles gold at the BeijingOlympics.

“In the third set I had a few

openings, and if I had man-aged to serve a little betterand hold on to my break,maybe anything could havehappened,” Wawrinka said.

Besides his record 16 ma-jor titles, Federer also set arecord of 23 straight GrandSlam semifinal appear-ances. That run ended at lastyear’s French Open, whenhe was beaten in the quar-terfinals.

Federer set his quarterfi-nal streak in 28 consecutiveGrand Slam tournaments,while Connors skipped somein his run.

In the next round, Federerwill face either No. 7 DavidFerrer or No. 9 Gael Monfils.

Fabio Fognini also reachedthe quarterfinals, the firstItalian to advance that far atRoland Garros since 1995. Theunseeded Fognini overcame acramping left leg and fivematch points to defeat AlbertMontanes of Spain 4-6, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, 11-9.

The third-seeded Zvonare-va followed No. 1 CarolineWozniacki and No. 2 Kim Cli-jsters out of the tournamentafter losing to Pavlyuchenko-va, at 19 the youngest playerstill in the tournament. Woz-niacki and Clijsters both lostin the third round.

No. 4 Victoria Azarenka ofBelarus is now the highestseeded player left.

“I’m just trying to do mything, focusing on me. ...The rest, I don’t reallycare,” Pavlyuchenkova saidof the upsets of top con-tenders.

It is only the third time thatnone of the top three seededwomen has reached the quar-terfinals at a Grand Slamtournament in the Open era,which began in 1968, and thefirst time at the French Open.It also happened at Wimble-don in 2008 — when the topfour were eliminated by theend of the fourth round — andat the Australian Open in1997.

Zvonareva reached theWimbledon and U.S. Open fi-nals last year and the Aus-tralian Open semifinals in Jan-uary. She saved two matchpoints in the final gameagainst Pavlyuchenkova be-fore hitting a forehand long onthe third.

“Well, that’s, I guess, partof the game. I know what Ihave to work on and what Ihave to improve,” saidZvonareva, who saved amatch point in the secondround before advancing. “Ofcourse when you play lessthan 50 percent of your poten-tial, it’s very tough to win thefourth round of a GrandSlam.”

For the 14th-seededPavlyuchenkova, the result isher best at a Grand Slam tour-nament. Previously, shereached the fourth round atleast year’s U.S. Open.

“She (Zvonareva) was upwith a break, so I think maybein the past or last year Iwouldn’t believe I can win thismatch against that top play-er,” Pavlyuchenkova said.“This time I think that was themain key.”

Get the Whole Picture at wunderground.com—The Best Known Secret in Weather™

Jess ParkerWundergroundMeteorologist

A late spring storm system will bring more wet and windy weather to the West this Memorial Day. A mix of rain and wet snow with thunderstorms will continue over parts of the Northern Intermountain West, Central Great Basin, and the Northern and Central Rockies. Heavy wet snow in the higher elevations will reduce visibilities, making travel conditions difficult for those outdoors. Meanwhile, periods of heavy rain and recent snow melt will raise more flood concerns in parts of the Northern Intermountain West. To the south, gusty winds, warm temperatures, and low relative humidity values will maintain fire weather conditions in the Southwest. To the east, the low pressure system in the Central Rockies will lift into the Northern Plains Monday while it\'s associated warm front lifts northward into the Northern Plains and the Upper Great Lakes. Showers, periods of heavy rain, and thunderstorms will form to the north of this boundary in parts of Upper Midwest. There is a moderate risk of severe thunderstorm development from southeastern North Dakota, eastern South Dakota, northeastern Nebraska into much of west-central/southwestern Minnesota and northwestern Iowa. Severe storms in these areas may produce very large hail, damaging winds, and a few strong tornadoes. There is a slight risk of severe thunderstorm development surrounding the moderate risk area from the eastern Dakotas and Minnesota southwestward to the Southern Plains. While the primary threats with severe storms in these areas will be large hail and damaging wind, tornado formation may be possible. Elsewhere, a weak cold front will move through the Northeast with scattered showers and thunderstorms. Meanwhile, Memorial Day will likely mark the start of the first heat wave of the season for the Delaware Valley. Daytime highs in the area will climb into the 90s and heat indices are expected to reach near the century mark through the mid-week.
