INDIAN TRAILTheir tiny shoes lined

the gym wall as the in-structor warned them not break a toe.

Porter Ridge Elementa-ry students spent Wednes-day afternoon hitting wood boards with their bare feet, their classmates cheering them on whether they broke them or not.

The karate demonstra-tion was part of the after-school program, which has included a weekly class throughout the school year. This is the fourth year the school has offered the class to inter-ested students.

Fourteen of the nearly 90 students participate for a discounted rate of-fered by Rich Aughtry, who heads the Jujutsu Concepts Martial Arts School in Indian Trail.

“As far as learning how to fight, that’s not what we’re here for,” he said. “We’re more about being a good person inside and out.”

Aughtry has taught martial arts for 38 years to everyone from FBI to Secret Service agents. He particularly enjoys teach-ing children, encourag-ing self-esteem and good grades.

If students make the A/B honor roll, they get a special patch.

Aughtry also offers an after-school karate class for students at Sardis El-ementary.

The physical fitness energizes the students and promotes nonviolent self-defense, whether in school or out, after-school coordinator Janet Gooch said.

Porter Ridge second-grader Thomas Bevis has learned “locks and throw-downs,” but said it’s also important to be nice to others.

“If they push you, you can’t start a fight ‘cause you’ll get kicked out of school,” he said.

The class also improves students’ posture, fifth-grader Courtney Wilson said, even when sitting in class.

It inspired other stu-dents to take even more classes.

“Since I’ve been doing the class in here, I thought it would be nice if I went into the real school,” third-grader Luke Robin-son said. Robinson recent-ly signed up for classes at Aughtry’s school.

Porter Ridge offers cheerdancing as an after-school program as well.

PARENTS SOUND OFFParents Randy Durbin

and Amanda McDevitt went by Porter Ridge Elementary Wednesday to see their children’s moves.

McDevitt’s son, Sean, started kindergarten in the fall, not used to being around so many kids.

“When he started school, he was very shy and a little insecure,” she said. “Since he started do-ing the karate, he really stepped out of his shell.”

He especially looks for-ward to school on Wednes-days.

“He’s like, ‘It’s karate day!’”

For Durbin’s daughter, kindergartener Kira, “it teaches work ethic and being a responsible per-

son,” he said.The class offers after-

school students an expe-rience they might not get otherwise, he said.

At first, McDevitt said, her son was afraid to try something new, but the class gave him a safe en-vironment, and now he’s

first in line.He has two younger

brothers but saves his punches for class, she said.

Armed robber hits another store MONROE

Another robbery happened early Friday morning at 3006 Old Charlotte Highway. In Monroe around 12:45 a.m., a police report stated.

While pointing and waving a black handgun in the air, the suspect told a store clerk that he would shoot unless he gave him all the money, the report stated.

The only description of the suspect was that he wore a black toboggan pulled over his face with the eyes cut out of it, the report said.

A police dog followed the suspect’s trail down Tim-berlane towards Hwy. 74, the report said.

The department is following up on leads, Police Chief Debra Duncan said.

Police are still working to help prevent robberies and to inform business owners and residents about ways to stay safe, she Said.

“We’re doing the best that we can,” she said. By Staff Writer Lacey Hampton

Robbery prevention class draws oneMONROE

Only one business owner attended Monroe Police Department’s Robbery Prevention and Awareness Presentation Thursday.

The 6:30 p.m. presentation, which was later can-celed because of the lack of participants, focused on robbery prevention at convenience stores.

The presentation included tips about robbery pre-vention and staying safe during robbery attempts.

“I came last year and it was very informative,” Akram Al-Koor, who attended the meeting said.

Al-Koor owns A &G Express Mart at 2451 W. Roosevelt Blvd., which was robbed last week.

This was the first time the store’s been robbed in the approximately 11 years its been there, Al-Koor said.

He wanted to see other store owners attend the pre-sentation because he though it could be beneficial in preventing future armed robberies, he said.

“They rob you of your security,” Al-Koor said. “Every time someone walks out (of the store), you think about it.”

In the last few weeks, letters were sent out, busi-nesses were called and officers stopped by local busi-nesses to remind them about the meeting.

“The only thing we can do is try,” Holt said.By Staff Writer Lacey Hampton

WASHINGTON (AP) — Unemployment rates fell in a majority of states last month as improved eco-nomic conditions spurred hiring.

The Labor Department said Friday that 34 states and the District of Colum-bia reported lower jobless rates in April. Six states reported higher rates, while 10 saw unemploy-ment hold steady.

That marked an im-provement from March when 16 states and D.C. reported declines in un-employment, 22 states saw increases, and 12 had no change, according to revised figures.

South Carolina’s rate fell to 11.6 percent in April, from 12.2 percent in March. That marked the largest monthly drop of any state.

After cutting their work forces to the bone during the recession, companies are starting to boost hir-ing as their sales and prof-its improve.

Nationwide, employers added a net 290,000 job in April, the most in four years, the department re-ported earlier this month. The U.S. unemployment rate, though, rose to 9.9

percent as hundreds of thousands of job hunters — feeling more confident about their prospects — resumed or started searches.

Even as the employ-ment picture is less bleak in many states, and the nation as a whole, many economists predict it will take years for the job mar-ket to get back to normal. A normal nationwide unemployment rate typi-cally hovers around 5.5 to 6 percent. It’s going to be a long slog because eco-nomic growth isn’t robust

enough for companies to ramp up hiring and quickly drive down the jobless rate.

Michigan, whose manu-facturing base was clob-bered by the recession, once again recorded the highest unemployment rate of any state — 14 per-cent. The rate dipped from 14.1 percent in March.

Nevada was close be-hind. It’s rate rose to 13.7 percent last month, the highest on records dating back to 1976. California rounded out the top three with a rate of 12.6 percent, unchanged from March. Nevada and California — states at the heart of the housing boom — have been slammed by the mar-ket’s bust and have been swamped by a wave of foreclosures.

North Dakota again had the lowest jobless rate — 3.8 percent. That’s down from 4 percent in March. It was followed by South Dakota, whose rate dipped to 4.7 percent in April, from 4.8 percent in March, and Nebraska at 5 percent, unchanged from the previous month.

Friday’s report also said that a majority of states saw employers boost jobs in April. The top three gainers: Ohio, with saw payrolls grow by 37,300 in April, from March; Penn-sylvania, with 34,000 net new jobs; and New York with 32,700.

Jobless rate dips in 34 statesRALEIGH (AP) —

North Carolina’s jobless are having more suc-cess looking for work as the unemployment rate dropped for the second straight month in April to 10.8 percent.

The state’s Employ-ment Security Commis-sion reported Friday that the jobless rate fell from 11.1 percent in March and 11.2 percent in February, the worst since the cur-rent calculation method started in 1976.

The improvement

pushed North Carolina out of the top 10 states with the worst unem-ployment. Thirty-four states and the District of Columbia reported lower jobless rates in April.

There were 16,500 few-er people on state unem-ployment rolls in April than the previous month. The number of non-farm jobs increased by 7,500 in April. And evidence con-tinued that people previ-ously discouraged by the lack of work started look-ing for jobs again.

WAXHAWRain suspended play with Piedmont High

ahead, 2-0, against Cuthbertson in the fourth inning of Friday’s third-round 2A state tour-nament baseball game.

The game will resume today at Cuthbert-son at 1 p.m.

“I just wish we could have kept playing but I think the guys will come back out (today) and take care of business,” Piedmont coach Milt Flow said.

The rain stopped, but the lack of lights at Cuthbertson High and poor field conditions made it impossible to continue.

Cuthbertson (23-3) coach Travis Little, whose team is the second seed out of the Rocky River Conference, considered moving the game under the lights at Piedmont, but decided to maintain home field advantage.

“Being a first-year team, everything is a first for us and my guys said they earned the right to play at home and they want to stay here,” Little said. “I want to give the guys the chance to play in front of their home crowd.”

This is the fourth meeting this season be-tween the two RRC foes. Cuthbertson leads the series, 2-1, and came into Friday’s game riding a seven-game winning streak. Pied-mont has won 12 of its last 13 games and stands 20-8.

The third-seeded Panthers scored in the top of the first as junior Pat King plated ju-nior Brad Elwood with a single to left.

HUNTERSVILLEThe Porter Ridge High soft-

ball team moved on to the third round of the 4A state playoffs Friday by defeating North Meck 1-0 in an all-out pitchers’ duel.

Porter Ridge (19-3) scored the only run of the game in the top of the first inning, with catch-er Courtney Price scoring on a

sacrifice groundball by Kayla Dresser.

A single by Lexi Davis moved Price to third, setting up the scoring opportunity.

Davis, a sophomore who has six no-hitters this season, had to fight out of trouble in the bottom first. She gave up a lead off single, and after a sac bunt moved the runner to second, a bunt single and a steal put run-ners on second and third with

one out.But Davis got the lead run-

ner at home on a light ground ball back to her that she threw back to Price for the easy tag and second out.

Davis got out of the first-in-ning jam by sitting down the Vikings’ fifth batter with her first strikeout of the game.

From there, Davis was gold-en, showing off the reason she is already committed to

Auburn University as a sopho-more by facing the minimum number of batters for the last six innings. She gave up just one hit, and that was turned into a double play.

Along the way Davis, sat down six batters on strikes.

The Pirates needed every bit of her stardom because they struggled to put the bat on the ball as well.

GREENSBOROWeddington High senior sprinter Breah-

na Morrison stood out in her last high school track meet, winning the 3A state championship in the 400-meter dash and the 4x400-meter relay on the campus of N.C. A&T Friday.

Morrison, who ran the 400 in a career-best 55.69 seconds, also placed second in the 200-meter dash (25.12) and fourth in the 100 (12.38). She accumulated 25.5 of her team’s 48 points. Joining Morrison on Wedding-ton’s 4x400 team were senior Brittany Stur-divant, senior Haley Kapheim and junior

Carly Griffth. The Warriors won the race in 4:00.13, more than five seconds faster than their previous best of 4:05.29.

South Central won the girls 3A state title with 63 points, while Marvin Ridge placed seventh with 26 points.

Marvin Ridge’s girls also brought home a state title, beating out Weddington for the 4x800 championship.

WHO’S NEWSQualifying gets wet, Kurt Busch has pole

CONCORD (AP) — Qualifying for the NASCAR All-Star race has been rained out, giving Kurt Busch the

pole based on the qualifying draw.

Joey Logano will start on the outside of the front row on Saturday in the 100-lap race that pays more than $1 million to the winner.

Brad Keselowski will start third, followed by Jamie McMurray, Kyle Busch and David Reutimann.

Denny Hamlin, whose team won the Pit Crew Challenge this week to secure the first pit stall for Saturday’s race, blew an engine in practice and will start in the rear of the field.

NASCAR officials on Friday night were still hoping to complete qualifying for Saturday’s preliminary Sprint Cup showdown.

Juan Pablo Montoya had the pro-visional pole after 25 of 29 drivers had completed their runs.

Favre has surgery on hampered ankle

(AP) _ Brett Favre posted a short statement on his website on Friday night confirming he had arthroscopic

ankle surgery, possibly clearing the way for the quarterback to return to the Min-nesota Vikings next season.

Favre’s future has been up in the air since the Vikings lost to New Orleans in

the NFC championship game. He had said he would need ankle surgery if he wanted to play in 2010, but there was no word Friday about his playing career.

“This is to confirm that I did have a procedure to remove some scar tissue and bone spurs from my ankle which had been bothering me for a period of time,” Favre said on his website. “I appreciate your concerns.”

ESPN.com reported Dr. James An-drews operated on Favre’s left ankle at the Andrews Institute in Gulf Breeze, Fla., on Friday morning.

Messages were left by The Associ-ated Press seeking comment from Bus Cook, Favre’s agent. A Vikings spokes-man declined comment when asked about the ESPN.com report.

Favre, who turns 41 in October, is coming off one of the best seasons of his storied career, throwing for 33 touchdowns and only seven intercep-tions while guiding the Vikings to a 12-4 record. He is under contract for $13 million next season if he plays.

The surgery came one day after Favre visited the Southern Mississippi baseball team in Hattiesburg, Miss., and told the Golden Eagles he would return for one more season in the NFL if they made it to the College World Series for the second consecutive year.

Mavs, Warriorsstarting at noon

The highly anticipated state quar-terfinal matchup between archrivals Weddington and Marvin Ridge in girls soccer will be played today at noon in Marvin.

In a battle between two of two teams ranked in the top five in the state (by eurosportscoreboard.com), the winner will advance to the semifinals of the 3A state playoffs.

Marvin Ridge (21-0) is ranked No. 1 in the state and Weddington (19-3-1) is No. 4.

The Mavericks have won the first two meetings this season by a combined 7-1.

Also in action today is Cuthbert-son and Piedmont in girls soccer, starting at 6 p.m.

The winner will move on to the state semifinals in the 2A bracket.

Roeder shines, Thomas has RBI double in 1-0 victoryBy maTT aBriggE-J Correspondent

INdIAN TRAIL, NCPorter Ridge High overcame the rain and a de-

termined A.C. Reynolds team to advance to the 4A state quarterfinals in baseball with a 1-0 home vic-tory on Friday.

Porter Ridge is now 3-0 in the playoffs. Before this season, PR had never been past the second round in its five-year history.

The contest was delayed before resuming, and then being called by the umpires in the seventh in-ning.

The Pirates sent right-hander Josh Roeder to the hill and he held Reynolds to just two hits in six in-nings of work.

“I was just doing my job,” Roeder said. “I had to keep focused. They’re a good team. I felt good out there; took my time and just pitched.”

AC Reynolds threatened first. With two outs, Phil-lip Treadway hit a single to center. He stole second, then advanced to third on a wild pitch. Roeder, with the count full at 3-2, induced a fly ball to right field to get out of the inning.

Porter Ridge had a chance to score in the bot-tom of the fourth with two out when senior Kyle McMahan hit a triple to right field, but he was left stranded.

In the bottom of the fifth, when a light drizzle started, senior Chase Devonde started it off with a single. After a strikeout, Roeder hit into a fielder’s choice. With two out, Roeder gave way to courtesy runner Tyler Kiser.

Reynolds pitcher Tyler Pressley was then called for a balk, moving Kiser into scoring position. AC Reynolds coach Bryan Craig came out to argue the call, but to no avail. Craig continued to argue the call, and was ejected between the fifth and sixth in-ning.

“It was the right call, “ Porter Ridge coach Trey Staviski said of the balk. “He flipped his elbow and didn’t come set.”

Porter Ridge finished with just four hits for the game,

and only put one runner in scoring position after the first inning — Jessica Stew-art reaching third base in the top of the seventh.

“They came out in the first inning and took advantage

of the opportunity they were given,” said Pirates coach Lael Rorie of her team. “Lexi has been in some pain for the past couple of weeks, but she came out and pitched a great game today.”

The Pirates now have home field advantage up until the state semifinals, should they get that far.

They will play the win-ner of the TC Roberson and South Caldwell on Tuesday.

from staff reports

THOMASVILLECuthbertson High pulled off its sec-

ond upset in the 2A state playoffs, this time in convincing fashion.

The first-year Cavaliers went on the road and eliminated East Davidson 11-4 Friday night, putting them in the third round of the playoffs.

Melanie Recher got the win, pitching the complete game. She allowed six hits, two earned runs, and she struck out four batters.

The Cavaliers (17-9), seeded fourth out of the Rocky River Conference, got on the board early with two runs in the first inning. Recher singled in Brittany Bodine after she got on with a double. Then Paige Barnes scored Kara Salvo, who got on with a walk, with a RBI sin-gle of her own.

East Davidson (15-8), the second seed out of the Central Carolina Conference, came right back and tied the game with two runs in the bottom of the first.

The Eagles took the lead in the third inning with a run, but Cuthbertson fought back into the lead with two runs in the top of the fourth.

Barnes scored on a fielder’s choice by Lauren Gruber, and McKinley Davis singled in Amber Hurst.

The scoring continued as the Eagles re-tied the game in the bottom of four with a run.

The Cavs’ defense would lock down from there, though, while the offense kept their foot on the gas.

Recher singled in the top of the sixth and scored on a single by Gruber, who later scored on a wild pitch to put the

Cavs up 6-4.The flood gates opened in the top of

the seventh.Gruber got her with her second hit of

the game with a two-RBI double, scoring Recher and Barnes.

Davis then drove in Gruber with a triple to make the advantage 9-4. Bodine doubled to score Davis and later scored on another wild pitch to end the barrage by the Cavs, sending them well on their way to the third round and a rematch with West Stanly.

The Cavaliers will get their fourth shot at the Colts in Oakboro on Tuesday at 7 p.m.

They lost the previous three meetings this year, including an 8-2 decision in the conference tournament semifinals.

Cuthbertson had five multiple hitters in Friday’s big win.

Gruber went 2-for-4 with four RBI, and two runs scored; Davis finished 3-for-5 with two RBI and Bodine went 3-for-4 with a RBI. Recher and Barnes each went 2-for-4 with a RBI.

Heyward homers, Hudson sharp in Braves’ 7-0 victoryPITTSBURGH (AP) — No

need to wait for the ninth in-ning to win this one. With Tim Hudson giving up only three singles and Jason Heyward rat-tling PNC Park with line drives, the Atlanta Braves put the Pi-rates away early and easily.

Heyward homered and drove in three runs to support Hud-son’s eight dominant innings and the Braves coasted for a change, beating the Pirates 7-0 on Friday night for their fourth consecutive victory.

The Braves had won three

consecutive games in their fi-nal at-bat, including a 10-9 win over Cincinnati on Thursday in which they scored seven runs during the best ninth-inning comeback in franchise history. They have won nine of 11 over-all.

“There’s nothing better than winning like we did yester-day (Thursday), then winning again,” said manager Bobby Cox, who celebrated his 69th birthday. “It’s kind of inspir-ing to win a game like we did (against Cincinnati). It gets you

on rolls.”Hudson (5-1) was already on

one as he won his fourth in a row this month, allowing a pair of singles by Bobby Crosby and another by Garrett Jones. Hudson hasn’t permitted more than one run in any victory during the streak. The right-hander also hasn’t surrendered an earned run in his last 22 in-nings in Pittsburgh.

“My sinker feels really good, and for me that’s the key,” Hud-son said. “Stay down in the zone with it, (get) good action, stay on

top of it, (with) good downward tilt. It’s a fun day when I’m able to go out and do that.”

For the Braves, a fun day beat another stressful one.

Hudson was trying for his 12th career shutout and his first since May 2, 2008, against Cin-cinnati, or about four months before he had Tommy John elbow reconstructive surgery. Cox pulled him after he threw 109 pitches.

“I didn’t think there was any reason to keep him going with that kind of lead,” Cox said. “If

he’d had to, he could have gone another one easy. But I thought it was best what we did.”

Asked about Hudson’s sinker, the Pirates’ Ryan Church said, “He’s got that extra, late move-ment and that makes it frustrat-ing. He’s a ground-ball pitcher and it looks like he’s got his arm strength back from surgery.”

Eric O’Flaherty finished up the combined four-hitter — At-lanta’s first shutout this sea-son.

Heyward went 3 for 4 in his Pittsburgh debut.

SuspendedContinued from Page 1B

Elwood had doubled ear-lier in the inning.

Piedmont (20-8) got its second run in the third when freshman Colby Barnette singled to short and senior Lance Gower scored on a throwing er-ror.

Cuthbertson starting pitcher Peter Hendel had recorded seven strikeouts through 3 2/3 innings of work. While Elwood had yet to allow a hit during his three innings on the mound for Piedmont.

Piedmont attempted to extend its lead in the third with one out and runners on second and third, but Hendel, a junior, fanned King and sophomore Will Ray to end the inning.

Cuthbertson threatened to score in the bottom of the third as the Cavaliers had the bases loaded with two outs, but sophomore catcher John Mangum popped out to first.

“We just need to keep our focus and remain con-fident coming back out here (today),” said Elwood, a junior who has commit-ted to play baseball for the Charlotte 49ers.

E-J staff photo by Darcy Duncan

Piedmont junior Brad Elwood (10) did not allow a hit through three innings, and also doubled at the plate to help his team take a 2-0 lead.

PiratesContinued from Page 1B

Porter Ridge senior Brent Thomas made the pitcher pay. He belted a 2-1 pitch for a double to drive in Kiser and put Porter Ridge up 1-0.

“I just battled hard up there with two strikes on me,” Brent Thomas said.

“He threw me a slider and I was waiting on it.”

The Rockets went down 1-2-3 in the top of the sixth.

The rain continued to fall, and was now coming down heavier. Porter Ridge junior Haydn Flores led off the bottom of the sixth with a walk, and then the game was halted due to the rain for one hour.

Once the rain stopped, and the tarp was removed, the umpires de-termined the game could not con-tinue and called it final.

“It was a great game for both teams before the rain came,” Staviski said. “We shut down their top four hitters. Josh Roeder pitched great tonight.”


Porter Ridge senior Tyler Kiser dives back to first base before the throw arrives during Fri-day’s third-round playoff win over A.C. Reynolds. Kiser, who was pinch-running, drew a balk and eventually scored the game-winning run in the Pirates’ 1-0 victory.


Porter Ridge senior SS Kyle McMahan (10), who had a triple, climbs the lad-der to make a catch.

TrackContinued from Page 1B

Parkwood senior Lynd-sie White set a personal record in the pole vault by clearing 10-feet, giving her a share of third place in the state. Teammate Samantha Parks also had a career day by clearing 10 feet.

Parks, also a senior, tied for seventh because she needed more attempts.

Parkwood’s girls scored seven points to tie for 34th at the state meet.

Marvin Ridge’s Ail-ish Dwyer was the only freshman in the county to score.

Dwyer finished eighth in the 3,200 in a time of 12:13.94. She qualified with a 12:36.69.

Marvin Ridge junior Ashley Christy, who also plays softball, scored a point in the long jump by placing eighth with a mark of 16-6.5.

Brantley places third in shot

The Union County boys didn’t fare as well at the 3A state track meet, but for future ref-erence, all seven athletes who scored are eligible to return.

S o p h o m o r e Matthew Brant-ley of Parkwood headlined the field with a third-place finish in the shot put. Brant-ley’s throw of 50-10.25 is a career best.

Combined with a fifth-place fin-ish in the high jump by junior Marcus Leak, the Rebels placed 19th at the state meet — ahead of both Marvin Ridge (tied for 20th) and Weddington (tied for 27th).

Asheville’s boys won the state meet.

The Mavericks’ 4x800 team consisted of a freshman, Alec Lane,

and three juniors, Chris Colo, Chris Van Gurp and Michael Colven.

The squad entered the meet as the fourth seed, but ran over two seconds slower than there seed time and ended up finish-ing seventh in the event.

Weddington sopho-more speedster Brandon Little finished fourth in the 100 meter dash, running an 11.13 in the finals.

Little also made the finals for the 200, but was only able to manage an eighth place finish.

Colven scored for the Mavericks in the 800, finishing sixth, one spot ahead of his seed with a career best time of 1:58.52.

Colo ran a career best time in the 3,200, finish-ing fifth in 9:30.55.

Colven and Van Gurp helped Marvin Ridge win the 3A state boys team title in 2009.

BRANTLEY

IRVING, Texas (AP) — Camer-on Beckman finished his delayed first round for a 69 then tied the course record at TPC Four Sea-sons with a 9-under 61 on Friday and was tied for the 36-hole lead at the Byron Nelson Champion-ship with PGA Tour rookie Blake Adams.

Beckman and Adams, who shot

a second-round 64, were at 10-un-der 130, a stroke in front of first-round co-leader Jason Day, who had a second-round 65.

Jordan Speith, a 16-year-old high school junior, shot a second-round 69 and was at 3-under 137. He became the sixth-youngest player to make the cut at a PGA event.

At the other end of the spectrum is 47-year-old Steve Elkington.

He got into the field as an alter-nate on Sunday, when someone else dropped out, then shot a 66 to become part of a seven-way tie for the lead.

He followed with another 66, putting him two shots off the lead.
