TIRES’ CIRCLE OF LIFE

Wife joins husband behind bars BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

JOn C. LakEY/SALISBURY POST

RDH Tire & Retread Co. near Cleveland has created a separate company called RDH Environmental to extract oil, gas and other products from huge ‘off the road’ tires.

Cleveland company using the least amount of energy to get the most from recycling BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com

Harvey Buhr shows powder residue that remains after oil and gas is removed during the process of recycling the material in a tire.

A local tire company has partnered with an alternative energy company to recycle tires in an environmentally friendly way. RDH Tire & Retread Co., located in Cleveland, and Missouribased Hitec LLC created a joint venture in April 2008 called RDH Environmental. RDH Tire retreads off the road (OTR) tires — a type of large tire used in heavy machinery and by the military. But those tires typically last only through two retreads before they are scrapped. Hitec created a startup facility on the RDH Tire property in Cleveland to process those scrap tires into carbon, steel, fuel oil and gas — most of which it plans to sell. Bradley Ragan, vice president and CEO of RDH Tire, said this recycling process is an extension of the retreading it already does. “There’s a lot of tires that come to us that ... can’t be retreaded any more, so then they are scrapped,” Ragan said. “Currently, we haul these tires back to our customers, who then have to pay to get rid of

them.” Right now, the typical disposal method for OTR tires is to bury them onsite or in a landfill. “We’re very excited about this,” Ragan said. “Burying these in ground needs to become a thing of the past.” Hitec CEO Harvey Buhr said Thursday he is glad to be associated with RDH Tire. “We think that together, we have the best choice of locations and sites — and people to work with,” Buhr said. “We’re happy to be operating here in Rowan County.” During a tour Thursday morning, Buhr explained to local and state officials and other interested people how the pyrolysis process is used to recycle tires. “My thought in designing this system was using the least amount of energy to get the most out of it,” Buhr said. Rubber flakes from the outside of each tire are placed on a conveyor belt, where magnets remove any steel fragments. The flakes, along with the tire

Governor says no to privatizing alcohol sales

Jessica Maria Quick Adams, 22, the wife of Kacey Wayne Adams, is now in the Rowan County jail under a $191,000 secured bond. Her husband, Kacey Adams, was arrested Jan. 14 after authorities say he took items from several cars parked at Cripple Creek Roadhouse Jan. 1. A week later, he was identified on surveillance video taking things from unlocked cars at First Baptist Church of Gold Hill during the Sunday service. Jessica Adams drove her husband around the parking lot of the church, authorities said. She was arrested and charged Wednesday night with failure to appear, possession of a firearm by a felon, two felony counts of breaking and entering a vehicle, misdemeanor larceny, felony larce-

The director of the Salisbury-Rowan Community Action Agency retires today after more than 38 years of a career in serving others. Elizabeth Fields said Wednesday she has mixed emotions about leaving the agency. “I’m looking forward to traveling and visiting my family and friends,” Fields said. “But at the same time, I’ll very much miss interacting with the staff, clients and people in general.” She said she has loved watching the agency grow and seeing “clients no longer have to be clients.” Fields enjoys watching them graduate, get jobs through the Workforce Investment Act program or rise out of poverty through the agency’s self-sufficiency program. “Some of the people employed in Head Start used to attend Head Start,” she said, referring to the educational program for children from

Fields said one of the hardest parts of her job has been seeing people in need that the agency can’t help — even through referrals to other organizations. “But you feel so good when you have helped,” Fields said, “like when a student graduates from college — when you’ve helped somebody succeed.” Fields was the director of the Head Start program for 30 years starting in 1972. With her at the helm, the Head Start program grew from one county and 50 employees to five counties — adding Davidson, Montgomery, Moore and Stanly counties — and about 250 employees. It now serves more than 1,000 children. “I watched Ms. Fields drive up and down the highway, going to counties where other Head Start programs were in trouble,” said Mike Edgerton, a transportation unit manager with the agency. “Since she was running such a grand pro-

Should community colleges be able to keep out the bad apples? dents like Arizona shooting suspect Jared Loughner, who was suspended from his community college after a pattern of bizarre behavior on campus. Loughner faces charges stemming from a shooting spree that killed six and wounded others including an Arizona congresswoman. North Carolina’s two-year schools already have authority to suspend or expel students to protect others. The new rule would allow community colleges to make an exception to their open-door standard of admitting everyone by excluding those who appear to pose “an articulable, imminent, and significant threat.” The new admissions policy, which has been weaving its way through the rule-making process since August, “gives us a little bit more of a

BY EMERY P. DALESIO Associated Press

RALEIGH — Nearly two weeks after the deadly Arizona shootings, North Carolina’s community college board is considering whether to allow schools to bar admission to students who appear to pose a threat. But some groups are concerned over how the policy might be applied. A vote scheduled for today could give schools in the country’s thirdlargest community college system more power to bar the door to stu-

TIES FROM 1a nonetheless says that for the fashion-deprived men among us, the best thing to do is wear a blazer, even if we eschew the tie. President Obama goes for the open-collar look at times. And most recently, some notice was given to the chief executive officers of Duke Energy and Progress Energy when they dressed casually — and without ties — to share with employees the plans for their multibilliondollar merger. But I come to praise the tie, not to bury it. Here in the newsroom, we don’t really have a dress code, other than a commonsense approach that we not look like slobs. Jeans are frowned on, except for snow days, weekends and casual Fridays. Ties are optional for guys. I say that, even though no one has put it down in writing one way or the other. I actually wish more of us would wear ties — stuffy, confining and conservative as they might seem. In a baseball-cap society increasingly lacking in style, ties would help. A tie by itself doesn’t

make you more civil or professional but, hey, it doesn’t hurt. I hate to think of the day, for example, when ties are no longer required accessories for lawyers in the courtroom. Part of the reason television viewers watch the “Mad Men” series is because Don Draper of the early 1960s had style — and ties. I hope men going for job interviews still wear a tie. And I actually miss the days Tom Landry stalked the sidelines as coach for the Dallas Cowboys in his fedora, coat and tie. I appreciate that most college and professional basketball coaches still wear coats and ties. Somehow it shows respect for their employers, the game and their station in life. Now back to my son, the dadgum idiot. Benn created the “Roy Williams Tie Tracker” as part of “The Rafters” blog site, which he co-produces with his older brother, Sam. These UNC graduates describe their blog as “a biased take on Carolina basketball” and, indeed, it’s not a destination Duke fans would find appealing. The Tie Tracker pays homage, it says, “to the best accessory in college hoops” by documenting the kind of tie Williams wears

level of protection for our students,” said Stephen Scott, president of Wake Technical Community College in Raleigh, where 65,000 students are enrolled in degree and continuing education programs. A spokeswoman for the American Association of Community Colleges was not immediately aware of similar moves in other states. The 17-campus University of North Carolina system’s admissions policies don’t bar people who present possible health or safety threats, though students who reveal arrest or criminal records might trigger background checks, spokeswoman Joni Worthington said. In South Carolina, state legislators on Wednesday introduced a bill that would alert local police if a student displays “disruptive or anti-so-

cial behavior.” The measure would order colleges and universities to turn over records concerning behavioral problems to local police. North Carolina community college officials said the policy change was not prompted by the Arizona shootings or other specific events. Stuart Fountain, who chairs the committee that reviewed the language, said administrators started talking about potential admissions changes after the 2007 Virginia Tech shootings. How admissions officers could screen potential applicants among the more than 800,000 students statewide isn’t clear. “The rub is going to be, how do we know in advance? I can’t answer that,” Scott said. Community colleges don’t conduct criminal background checks or require physicals,

he said. The policy will allow admissions departments to act on clues as they’re presented, Fountain said. The ability to recognize students who pose risks should improve over time, he said. “There may be the tell-tale sign that an admissions person might recognize that this person might be a threat to that campus,” he said. The lack of clarity worries disabilities advocates and the American Civil Liberties Union’s North Carolina chapter. The 58 community college campuses could each decide what they would consider health or safety risks, the ACLU’s Sarah Preston said. “It could be used to target people who are not a danger because they make people or they make administrators uncomfortable,” she said.

to each game. For this year’s Asheville game, for example, Williams wore “a purple gradient tie with pink square accents.” Against Lipscomb, the Tar Heel coach sported a “beige tie with light blue diamonds,” according to the tracker. Call it part fashion, part superstition. Tar Heel fans

look for any omen giving them a hint of victories to come — even in the ties their coach wears. At a post-game press conference last year, as it was becoming evident the Tar Heels were not too good, a frustrated Williams refused to make excuses and even noted that, “Some dadgum idiot is saying it matters

what kind of tie I wear.” Or words to that effect. The key phrase was “dadgum idiot.” Benn considered the insult a plug and an opportunity to get more hits on the blog site. Apparently that’s important. (You also can follow the Roy Williams Tie Tracker on Facebook and Twitter.)

I’m just glad my kids know what ties are. And a note to Roy Williams: He should not worry about calling my son a dadgum idiot. Watching the Tar Heels play this year, I’ve called him a lot worse. Contact Mark Wineka at 704-797-4263, or mwineka@ salisburypost.com.

ALCOHOL

of opponents that includes liberal advocacy groups and Christian conservatives concerned about excess alcohol’s effects on society, and cities and counties that benefited from $51 million in store profits last year. North Carolina is one of nearly 20 states that directly controls wholesale and retail liquor distribution, but it’s the only one where local ABC boards sell spirits. More than 160 local ABC boards essentially independent from state government operate the stores, which generate more than $200 million in tax revenues. Beer and wine are sold by licensed conventional retailers. A consultant the state ABC Commission hired calculated the state could receive up to $313 million on 30-year licenses sold to outside businesses that would operate the ABC warehouse and the current local stores, according to a Jan. 11 report presented to state officials and obtained by the Associated Press.

The one-time license revenue could rise to $452 million if there was a 25 percent increase in the availability and consumption of liquor, for example, if more retail stores got licenses, the report said. The amount would grow to $588 million if liquor availability and consumption grew by 50 percent. More tax revenues also would be generated through increased sales. Perdue said the current system has worked reasonably well and has discouraged the societal ills associated with excessive drinking. She

received applause from the commissioners when she said she didn’t want to have to go past aisles of liquor with her granddaughter in tow to buy a toy for her. “I simply don’t want to be the governor — I really don’t — who puts liquor into the big Target/Walmart stores or the local convenience stores,” Perdue said. Perdue said she ultimately decided it’s essential for government to regulate liquor sales closely. “I actually believe that this is a core service for North Carolina,” Perdue said.

FROM 1a A consultant hired by the state Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission said the state would gain roughly $300 million in one-time money by selling licenses for private businesses to run the state warehouse and stores at a profit. The amount is little more than what state and local governments gain annually through the system. Perdue said if the state wanted more money — such as $1 billion or more — it would have to ease the controls placed on liquor for more than 70 years at the more than 400 ABC stores statewide, and she’s unwilling to do that. Easing regulations could mean expanding greatly the number of stores, lengthening their hours or allowing store advertising. “I do not believe that the privatization of our ABC system is the right business decision for North Carolina,” Perdue said at a meeting of the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners — a privatization opponent and recipient of local store profits. “The juice just is not worth the squeeze for the people of this state.” The Democrat’s decision doesn’t prevent the new Republican majority at the Legislature from considering privatizing the state’s Alcoholic Beverage Control system. Top GOP leaders said soon after her announcement they still would examine the possibility as part of a larger effort to make government more efficient and trim a $3.7 billion budget gap expected this summer. “We will begin with the analysis the governor’s staff has completed, and we will complete our own assessment as we identify areas we may privatize,” said Rep. Thom Tillis, R-Mecklenburg, who is expected to be elected House speaker next week. “It is imperative that we leverage public-private partnerships to put North Carolina on sound fiscal footing.” But her position certainly would make selling the ABC system, whether the stores, wholesale operations, or both, more difficult to do. It builds confidence among a coalition

Alcoa says water quality improving

FRIDAY January 21, 2011

www.salisburypost.com

ROLLING FOR INSPIRATION

Riverkeeper calls report misleading, says information may have been withheld In a report submitted last week to the N.C. Division of Water Quality, Alcoa Power Generating said water leaving its series of lakes and dams on the Yadkin River met a state standard for dissolved oxygen levels 99.9 percent of the time in 2010. And the company says that upgrades it would make if awarded a new license to operate the dams would further improve oxygen levels. But an Alcoa critic calls the report “misleading” and says the company is not meeting the state’s requirement to prove it did not intentionally withhold damaging information in its pursuit of a new federal license to operate the dams. Alcoa has been working several years to secure a new 50-year federal license but hit a stumbling block in December when the state Division of Water Quality revoked a key certification, saying the company had “intentionally withheld information on the project’s ability to meet the state’s water quality standards for dissolved oxygen.” An adequate amount of oxygen in the water is necessary to support healthy aquatic life, and many states monitor dissolved oxygen levels as one way to help measure water quality in lakes and rivers. Officials with the company have vowed to prove the state wrong. Kevin Anton, Alcoa’s chief sustainability officer, recently told the Post the company would “provide hard documentation” that its permit should not have been revoked. In a posting Thursday on a blog to the relicensing, Alcoa devoted ANTON said the report submitted to the state shows water discharged from Falls Dam — the last in a series of four along the Yadkin — meets the “instantaneous dissolved oxygen standard” 99.9 percent of the time and the daily average dissolved oxygen standard 97.4 percent of the time. Instantaneous measurements are obtained through samples recorded at 15 minute intervals at all the dams. Alcoa says the instantaneous measurement at Falls has improved since 2008 and that water leaving its Narrows Dam — the third in the series of dams — met those dissolved oxygen standards 93.4 percent of the time last year, a 34 percent increase over 2007 levels. “This report shows continued improvement of dissolved oxygen levels in water below the Narrows Dam and demonstrates that new technology installed at Narrows is successfully increasing dissolved oxygen levels in downstream waters,” Anton said in the blog post. Dissolved oxygen levels at High Rock and Tuckertown, the first two dams in the chain, were lower than the others in 2010: High Rock met the state instantaneous standard 65.1 percent of the time, and Tuckertown met the standard 56.3 percent of the

Two indicted on murder charge BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

A Rowan County grand jury has indicted two men this past week on charges in the beating death of Richard “Richie” Carl Reeder, Jr. Clinton Bruce Rhoney, 21, and Gary William Highley, 30, were each indicted for felony first-degree murder. Both men remain in the Rowan County Detention Center without bond. Reeder’s body was discovered by a church bus driver stopping to pick up children near City Park the morning of Dec. 12. The driver noticed Reeder’s body lying in shallow water on the far eastern end of the park. RHONEY About two days after Reeder was found, authorities charged Rhoney and Highley. The Medical Examiner’s Office concluded that Reeder’s death resulted from blunt force trauma to his head and neck area. A two-by-four was found near Reeder’s body. A friend who would only identify himself as Paul said the two-by-four came from a pile of HIGHLEY boards in his driveway. Paul told a Post reporter in December when he got home that night Reeder was asleep on his couch. He also said Rhoney and Highley were at his home. Reeder’s stepfather, John McDufford, dropped him off at Applebee’s, where he met friends for dinner and drinks. It was the last time McDufford saw Reeder. Reeder had spent most of the day before his death with his mother, Rita McDufford, and stepfather. Family and friends believe the two men robbed and beat Reeder. Salisbury Police say the motive is still unclear. Reeder would have turned 43 on New Year’s Eve. He worked at Magna Composites, an auto-parts plant in Salisbury.

Austin Szelkowski, 24, skates down long Street on thursday morning before leaving rowan Helping Ministries to head to Charlotte. Szelkowski is on a 3,000-mile trek from New york to Santa Monica, Calif.

Man skates across country to inspire pioneer spirit BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

Rowan Helping Ministries will likely stick out when Austin Szelkowski recalls his 3,000mile rollerblading trek across the United States. The 24-year-old Michigan native said he had never stayed in a shelter before arriving in Salisbury on Wednesday. “It was a new experience,” he said. “They fed us well, I had a warm shower and a place to sleep.” When his search for a place to crash using couchsurfing.com came up empty, Szelkowski SZELKOWSKI knew he was going to have to find another free place to stay “out of necessity,” but admits he didn’t mind. “I wanted to force myself to experience it just to kind of gain that perspective and to have experienced it.” he said. “And to be able to say I stayed a night in the shelter, I know what it’s like, I talked to the people there. Szelkowski called staying overnight at the shelter a “humbling experience.” “Opportunities come in strange places, but you have to be open enough to allow those things to happen and sometimes that means doing something that is uncomfortable ...,” he said. Szelkowski left Rowan Helping Ministries about 9 a.m. Thursday, embarking on a 43mile trip to Charlotte. Marking his 670th mile in Salisbury, he typically rollerblades about 50 miles a day, traveling on basically any roads except interstates. • • • Many wonder why he’s rollerblading from coast to coast and he says the answer is simple. “The purpose in the basic sense is to inspire people to take on big challenges, to believe that they can do anything if they just have the courage to start, ” he said. “The core message is to inspire entrepreneurship and a pioneering spirt.” During his trip, Szelkowski has been stopping at schools and colleges along the way to encourage young people to be trailblazers. “Based on the way the economy is right now and the way things are going, obviously, we need new jobs to fix the situation,” he said. “The best way to create new jobs is through start-up companies, through entrepreneurship ... people basically making their own way.” After graduating from Kettering University in December 2009, Szelkowski realized he

Follow the journey Keep track of Austin Szelkowski’s 3,000-mile cross-country journey online at thefreedomskater.com. wanted to carry that message to young people throughout the country and began brainstorming an avenue to do so. “I had no way to get my foot in the door,” he said. “There’s a dime a dozen people trying to speak for a living.” The idea to travel across the country, starting in New York at the Statue of Liberty and ending in Santa Monica Calif., came to him on the way to a Memorial Day cookout last May. “I was thinking about the movie ‘Forrest Gump’ and I thought about what he did, he ran across the country,” he said. “I thought well that’s crazy and then something clicked in my head and I thought what if somebody were to do something similar with speaking. “It’s one of those things where you have an idea that you immediately throw under the bus and say ‘I’m not going to actually do this.’” After a few nudges from friends, Szelkowski decided to take the plunge. • • • The original plan was to walk, but Szelkowski decided that wasn’t very exciting or interesting enough. “Then I thought about biking and I thought, well, biking is too easy, which is probably a ridiculous statement,” he said. “Then I thought about running, but I didn’t want to run 3,000 miles.” When a friend mentioned skating, Szelkowski knew that’s what he wanted to do. “Going across flat land, skating is harder than walking but easier than running,” he said. “But going up a hill, it’s by far harder than both.”

Szelkowski admits it had been a while since he rollerbladed. “I got on the skates and I was all wobbly,” he said. “But, you know, you learn and you kind of get yourself back in the groove.” • • • Next, Szelkowski had to find sponsors to back his journey. “I basically needed $15,000 to get started by the end of September,” he said. “All the way up until two weeks before I was leaving we had raised about $500 ... but I was still somehow certain that it was going to happen.” Eventually, Szelkowski got connected with Dan Hussain, president of American Pioneer Ventures, a company that helps start-up ventures moved forward. Szelkowski said Hussain shared the ideas he was trying to spread through his motivational speaking company, Austin Tells, and that shared vision led to a partnership. Hussain agreed to finance the Skate across America and within three days Szelkowski and his business partner, Dillon Norton, bought a motor home and camera equipment. Norton’s company, Resistance Marketing, has been helping Szelkowski get the word out about the tour since they met last June. During the skate, Norton has been filming a documentary about entrepreneurship as a way to revitalize the American economy. “I have been wanting to make a documentary along those lines for a long time,” Norton said. The pair will be interviewing

entrepreneurs along the way and seeking out specific bloggers such as Seth Godin, Gary Vaynerchuk and Tim Ferriss. “They have a lot of great advice to offer in terms of talking to somebody who wants to start a company,” Szelkowski said. And, Norton said, the skate gives him footage of something besides people just talking. Norton drove the 1989 RV city to city from New York to Raleigh, with Szelkowski catching up each day. When they reached Raleigh, Norton had to return to work in Michigan and Szelkowski began looking for places to stay along the route. “I’m couch surfing from Raleigh to Atlanta,” Szelkowski said. • • • At the completion of the skate, Szelkowski and Norton will be heading to Detroit. “We’re actually working on a revitalization project with the city, which will be a start-up competition for entrepreneurs and innovators,” Szelkowski said. “It’s going to be modeled after a similar competition that was done in Boston in 2010 — Mass Challenge.” Szelkowski said the competition will foster innovation by helping start-ups drive their businesses forward. “Some people call (Detroit) the armpit of America, but from my perspective it’s the biggest problem, if you want to look geographically at the country,” he said. “It’s the biggest problem, so, therefore, as an entrepreneur and as an opportunity, it’s also the biggest opportunity.” • • • Szelkowski will hit the following major cities before landing in Santa Monica, Calif.: Atlanta, Ga., Birmingham, Ala.; Memphis, Tenn.; Little Rock, Ark.; Dallas, Texas; Fort Worth, Texas; Amarillo Texas; Albuquerque, N.M.; Flagstaff, Ariz.; Phoenix, Ariz. and Palm Springs, Calif. Throughout the journey, he’s carrying an American flag over his shoulder. “For me, the flag represents freedom more than anything else,” he said. “It represents to me living as greatly as you dream and going after your passion.” He’ll also continue encouraging others to chase their dreams. “Start today, start now,” he said. “The connections you need, the resources you need, the people you need, everything you need will find you if you have the passion and the commitment to make it happen.” Szelkowski said if people have a good idea they shouldn’t wait. “Be careful of ‘some day,’ ” he said. “It’s a dangerous word.” Contact reporter Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

Break-ins plague county BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

Authorities say break-ins continue to be the biggest problem facing the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office in 2011, and scrap metal, electronics, tools and copper seem to be the most popular items among thieves. On Tuesday, Scott McChesney reported someone broke into his home on Kluttz Road in Salisbury, and ripped copper wiring out of nearly every wall in the room — the bathroom wasn’t touched. McChesney reported to the sheriff’s office that he was in the process of moving into a new home, and the home was empty at the time of the break-in and theft. The breaker box in the home was also taken. Damages to the home will surpass $500. The Sheriff’s Office is also investigating a Tuesday report of $1,450 worth of electronics and other items from a Salisbury woman’s car. Authorities said Cassie Costantino contacted detectives this week after getting her car back from Jonathan Holshouser, 170 Eller Drive. He had been working on her engine and transmission since Dec. 20. When the car was returned this week, Costantino noticed a subwoofer box with two 12inch speakers was missing, along with a $700 amp, five

CDs, a wheel lock key and stun gun, the report said. Costantino said she called Holshouser, who told her he knew nothing about the missing items, and that her car had been locked in his shop every night. No pry marks were found on her car, and the sheriff’s office is investigating. Other incidents reported Tuesday across the county: • Lindsey Wyatt of Spring Oak Drive reported someone took a tote bag, calculator and prescription glasses from her car while it was parked at her home. Total value of the items taken is $440. • Kelly Biggers of Amity Hill Road reported someone broke into her home through a window and took an Xbox 360, Xbox Kinect, six Xbox games and two Sony PlayStations. A .380 caliber handgun was also taken. Total value of the items is $1,400. • Clarissa Evans of Partee Street reported someone broke into a residence on Airport Road and took two flat screen televisions, a Blue Ray DVD player and a Nintendo Wii. The total value of the items taken is $2,350. • Stephanie Haugen of Meadow Lane reported someone used a blunt object to break a window in her car, and took a pocketbook and its contents, valued at $250. She also reported $250 worth of damages to her car.

Man charged with child abuse BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

FAITH — A man charged Tuesday with having weapons of mass destruction and drug paraphernalia in his home was also charged with m i s d e meanor child abuse, authorities rep o r t e d Thursday. T h e Rowan County Sheriff’s BUTTON Office responded to a tip that a child at the home of Timothy William Button, 29, of 560 Deck Lane, might have been in danger. When deputies arrived, they spoke to Button, who allowed them to enter and search his home. In a back bedroom they

found two sawed-off shotguns, one loaded, neither stored out of reach of the child. The length of the shotgun barrels made them illegal, and they are classified as weapons of mass destruction. A pipe and digital scale were also found, along with a large amount of a legal herb called Damiana — similar to marijuana. Authorities reported that all of the items taken from the home, the guns and paraphernalia, were not safely stored out of the child’s reach. The Rowan Department of Social Services was contacted, and the child was placed with a family member. Button was charged with two counts of possessing a weapon of mass destruction, possession of drug paraphernalia and misdemeanor child abuse. He was given a $25,000 secured bond.

Homeowner stops thief’s getaway BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

ROCKWELL — A Rockwell homeowner gave a break-in suspect quite a surprise when he stopped him in his tracks early Tuesday morning, authorities reported Thursday. Charles Strickland, of Forest Street, called 911 to report a man was entering an outbuilding and loading things into a van. It PLOTT turns out Strickland knew the man, David Oneal Plott, 50, of 102 Sunfish Terrace, and was talking to him while he was in the van, trying to drive away, the report said. When officers arrived, they reported seeing the silver van pull away from the

home, but Plott stopped for officers and pulled into a nearby yard. Strickland identified Plott as the man he saw going into the outbuilding. He noticed the outbuilding’s door was open and the lock was ripped off. Found in Plott’s van were a radiator, condenser and battery. Everything was returned to Strickland. Plott was charged with felony breaking and entering, felony possession of stolen goods and was served a warrant on an outstanding charge of misdemeanor breaking and entering. He was given a $16,000 secured bond. The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office said scrap metal theft is still one of the biggest crimes committed in the county, and urge anyone who sees suspicious behavior to contact them at 704-216-8700. You can also contact Salisbury-Rowan Crimestoppers at 1-866-925-5245.

Most Wanted suspect arrested during traffic stop

Marine sentenced to life in comrade’s death CAMP LEJEUNE (AP) — A Marine Corps private has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the murder of a comrade at Camp Lejeune. Military officials said 22year-old Pvt. Jonathan Law of Clark County, Nev., also faces forfeiture of all pay and allowances and a dishonorable discharge. The sentence was handed down on Thursday. Law pleaded guilty last month to murder and robbery

in the beating death of 22year-old Cpl. Jonathan Hartzell of Hamilton, Ohio. Officials say Law beat Hartzell with a 10-pound jackhammer drill bit. Law said he didn’t know Hartzell personally. He said he took Hartzell’s cell phone, but said robbery wasn’t his motive. Law said he was intoxicated by a combination of alcohol, marijuana and cough syrup on the night of the November 2009 attack.

smoothly and following rules and regulations specified in the grants that fund them. She has received a number of recognitions and awards for her work there, including the Order of the Long Leaf Pine in 2004 and the Key to the city of Salisbury last year. A drop-in reception in her honor will be held today from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Salisbury Depot. Fields was born and raised in Lexington. She graduated from Livingstone College with a bachelor’s degree in sociology and went on to earn a Master of Business Administration at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. “I always knew I was going to be a social worker,” Fields said. “I knew my goal was to help other people.” She was serving as the director of the Miller Recreation Center before coming on board with the Community Action Agency as the Head Start director. Fields said she is proud of all the good work the agency has done over the years and will continue to do. “Things are going well here, and the organization has a strong board,” she said. “I feel like this is the right time. ... When you feel like you’ve done basically all you can do here, it’s time to try some-

thing else.” Fields is looking forward to traveling to see her family — including her two children — and doing some volunteer work. She is involved with several community organizations and activities and plans to continue that involvement. After leaving the agency, Fields said she hopes to “be remembered as a person who tried to make a difference and help somebody.” Often, that “somebody” has not only included the agency’s clients but also its employees and anyone else she met. Robert Payne, who works in maintenance for the agency, said Fields helped him work through bad times in his life and never gave up on him. “She just builds you up and tries to help you become the best you, and I greatly appreciate that,” Payne said. “I’ve been here five years, and that’s the longest I’ve held down any job.” When asked how he felt about Fields leaving, he answered the same way as several other employees. “I’m really sad to see her go,” Payne said. “But everybody knows she deserves this.”

FROM 1a gram here, they called on her to take on all this responsibility. ” Edgerton said Fields has been “monumental” in his own life for the 30 years he’s been at the agency. “She built buildings, and she also built people — helping build esteem and character in them,” Edgerton said. Yvonne Moore, a case manager with the agency’s selfsufficiency program, said Fields leads by example. “I imagine a lot of young ladies and men want to follow in her footsteps,” she said. Moore, who has worked with the agency for 20 years, said Fields isn’t afraid to “tell it like it is” to motivate people, but she also encourages them with kind words. “Ms. Fields has a unique way of solving every problem that comes up,” Moore said. “We know she’s going to get things done, and if something comes up, she’ll take care of it in her way.” In 2003, Fields became executive director of the Community Action Agency. She has been responsible for making sure that each of the agency’s programs is running

Norman Schwarzkopf, commander of the coalition forces, didn’t attend because of health reasons. He sent a letter that Powell read. “Our mission was victorious because we had the besttrained military in the world, the president had fortitude to make tough choices when they needed to be made and the unwavering support of the American people,” Schwarzkopf’s letter said.

Three people arrested following an October raid on a home where officials found guns and drugs have been indicted by a Rowan County grand jury on a number of charges. Investigators raided the home of Charles Brown Aydelette Sr. at Mainsail Road after a six-month investigation.

United Daughters of ALCOA Confederacy hold luncheon FROM 3a

The Robert F. Hoke Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy held its Lee-JacksonMaury Luncheon, a tradition since 1992, on Jan. 14 at the Rowan Public Library. President Trudy Hall began the remembrance when candles were lighted on a cake and the assembly sang “Happy Birthday” to Matthew Fontaine Maury, born Jan. 14, 1806; Robert Edward Lee, born Jan. 19, 1807; and Thomas Jonathan “Stonewall” Jackson, born Jan. 21, 1824. A prayer used daily by Commodore Maury for 34 years was read by Sandra Boyer as the invocation, and N.C. Division Chaplain Gail Sifford read the poem “Birthdays of Lee and Jackson.” Past President Sue Curtis told about the hen that provided eggs for Gen. Robert E. Lee for more than a year during the Civil War before meeting an untimely death; the lemons that General Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson was reportedly so fond of; and Commodore Matthew F. Maury’s nautical fame for his study of ocean currents. Associate Honorary Member Ed Curtis gave the

Spider-Man did not rob Raleigh motel RALEIGH (AP) — Turns out Spider-Man did not rob a Raleigh motel last week. Raleigh police have arrested the night clerk at the motel and accused her of staging the holdup with a friend dressed as the crime fighting hero. Twenty-year-old Lindsay Nichole Noble of Raleigh is charged with embezzlement. Police say they found a Spider-Man mask and small amounts of money in two plastic bags when they searched her home. Police say Noble told officers she had been robbed at gunpoint on Friday. An arrest warrant says Noble gave a man wearing a Spider-Man mask and gloves money “automatically.” Twenty-four-year-old Ownie Rasheed Henry is charged with aiding and abetting embezzlement. Arrest records show they lived together. It was not clear if they have attorneys.

Debbie Suggs catered the event, which included chicken, lemons and salt for the men being remembered. Theme-related door prizes were won by guests who then read a special message on each.

time. Alcoa argues those lower readings could be due to yearly changes in water or weather conditions or the quality of the water entering High Rock. The company says water coming into High Rock meets the daily average dissolved oxygen standard 43.1 percent of the time. If awarded a new federal license, Alcoa would spend $40 million installing technology at High Rock Dam to improve dissolved oxygen levels and up to $80 million throughout the project, the company said. “We have made great progress and have every reason to believe the technology enhancements will continue to increase dissolved oxygen levels and allow the Yadkin Project to meet the state (dissolved oxygen) standard,” Anton said in the blog post. “Our commitment to reaching that goal has never been in question.” But one critic does question Alcoa’s report. Dean Naujoks, with the river advocacy organization Yadkin Riverkeeper, calls it “misleading” and charges it “provides no new information to support Alcoa’s claims the company did not intentionally mislead state officials.” Naujoks points out that state law requires dissolved

oxygen standards be met at all four of the dams, while Alcoa says it meets the standard with water leaving the fourth and final dam. He also says the state considers dissolved oxygen standards violated when levels drop below the standard for instantaneous measurement 90 NAUJOKS percent of the time or daily average measurement 100 percent of the time. So the decrease in compliance with the daily average is significant, Naujoks said in a press release. Alcoa “is correct in saying that this could be due to natural phenomena, but it certainly is not an improvement.” Responding to Alcoa’s touting improvements over 2007 levels and promise of further dam upgrades, Naujoks said those improvements “should have been made years ago.” “The percentage improvement since 2007 doesn’t matter if the discharge from three of the four dams is still violating the state’s dissolved oxygen standards as demonstrated in their own report,” he said. “The whole idea of the compliance schedule is to come into compliance, not just get better.”

(AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; DURHAM Reynolds Price, a long-time Duke University professor and award-winning writer whose novel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kate Vaiden,â&#x20AC;? received national acclaim, died Thursday after suffering a heart attack. He was 77. Duke spokesman Keith Lawrence said Price died after he was stricken last Sunday. A native of Macon, Price graduated summa cum laude from Duke in 1955, where he studied creative writing under William Blackburn, whose other Duke students included noted authors William Styron and Anne Tyler. Price was a Rhodes Scholar and studied in Oxford, England. He returned to the United States and took a teaching job at Duke in 1958. He was warned that the position was for three years and there was no chance for an extension. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That seemed a little discouraging, but I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well, three years is three years,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Price recalled in a 2008 interview. During those three years he wrote his first novel and was asked to stay on, which he did for the next 53 years. In 1962, Price earned the William Faulkner Award for a notable first novel for his book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Long and Happy Life.â&#x20AC;? He published numerous books after that, including the novel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kate Vaiden,â&#x20AC;? which received the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1986. Reynolds spoke at Catawba College in April 1987 and read from his novel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kate Vaiden.â&#x20AC;? During the Salisbury visit, he spoke about the creative process and the role of the unconscious in writing, as well as the importance of establishing a routine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A friend of mine once told me, the unconscious mind is like children and dogs,â&#x20AC;? he told the audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It loves a routine and hate surprises.â&#x20AC;? Considering himself an â&#x20AC;&#x153;outlawâ&#x20AC;? Christian, Priceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2007 book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letter to a Godchild,â&#x20AC;? was a christening gift to his godson, intended as a brief guide for the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spiritual future. He also published two biblical translations, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Palpable Godâ&#x20AC;? (1978) and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Three Gospelsâ&#x20AC;? (1996). At Duke, Price taught courses on creative writing and the work of 17th-century English poet John Milton, as well as a course on the gospels in which students wrote their own version of a gospel story.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolina is failing on all fronts in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to curb deaths and diseases caused by tobacco use, the American Lung Association said in a report released Thursday. The nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top tobaccoproducing state received straight â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fâ&#x20AC;? grades for tobacco prevention and control spending, cessation, taxes and smoking restrictions in the annual State of Tobacco Control report done by the national nonprofit group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of our states are failing miserably when it comes to combating tobaccocaused disease despite collecting millions of dollars, and in some cases, billions in tobacco settlement dollars and excise taxes,â&#x20AC;? Chuck Connor, president and CEO of the American Lung Association, said in a conference call. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most states are only investing pennies of those same dollars to help smokers quit and

keep kids from starting.â&#x20AC;? Connor said that while â&#x20AC;&#x153;public sentiment is turning more and more against smoking,â&#x20AC;? it is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;great mistake to assume that the shift in public thinking about tobacco means the public health crisis has ended.â&#x20AC;? The group said a significant increase in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cigarette tax will save lives by reducing the number of kids who start smoking and help adults quit smoking. North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax is 45 cents per pack, one of the lowest in the nation. Raising the cigarette tax has always been a contentious proposal in North Carolina. Only after years of grueling debate did state lawmakers in 2005 raise the tax from 5 cents. The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S. senators criticized a plan in 2009 to raise the federal tax on cigarettes to pay for a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health insurance program. North Carolina Sen.

the measure despite personal qualms with the tax. The American Lung Association says tobacco-related illnesses and secondhand smoke exposure are responsible for an estimated 12,264 deaths in North Carolina each year. The group says it costs the economy approximately $6.3 billion annually in health care costs and lost productivity. The group praised lawmakers for banning smoking in North Carolina restaurants and bars, but still gave the state a failing grade on smoking restrictions. No state received straight â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aâ&#x20AC;? grades in the report and only Arkansas, Montana, Maine, Oklahoma and Vermont received all passing grades. North Carolina was joined by Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia in receiving failing grades in each category.

Priceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Halloween reading of ghost stories and poems became a tradition on campus that lasted more than a decade. Price became confined to a wheelchair in 1984 when a cancerous tumor affecting his spinal cord left him paralyzed from the waist down. In a 2006 article in The News & Observer of Raleigh, it was noted that Price had pondered and accepted that Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ways are often beyond understanding or finding out, as written in the Book of Job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that my legs were subsequently paralyzed by 25 X-ray treatments ... was a mere complexity in the ongoing narrative which God intended me to make of my life,â&#x20AC;? he said. Priceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s account of cancer survival is captured in his 2003 book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Whole New Life: An Illness and a Healing.â&#x20AC;? Priceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third volume of memoir, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ardent Spirits: Leaving Home, Coming Back,â&#x20AC;? was published in 2009. The book explores six crucial years in Priceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, from leaving home in 1955 to attend Oxford University to his return to North Carolina and the start of his career as a university teacher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With a poetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deep appreciation for language, Reynolds Price taught generations of students to understand and love literature,â&#x20AC;? said Duke President Richard H. Brodhead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reynolds was a part of the soul of Duke; he loved this university and always wanted to make it better. We can scarcely imagine Duke without Reynolds Price.â&#x20AC;? At Priceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request, there will be no public funeral. The school has not yet announced plans to honor Price.

Raise your beds

Taste of good weather has gardeners itching to do something BY DARRELL BLACKWELDER For the Salisbury Post

ith the weather improving, some people have contacted Cooperative Extension with questions over the past few days. Even though cold winter weather is still a possibility, homeowners have hopes for productive vegetable and beautiful flower gardens this spring. Below are a few questions Cooperative Extension has received over recently.

Darrell BlackwelDer/CoopERativE ExtEnsion

students at Millbridge Elementary school view raised beds at their discovery garden constructed by north Rowan High school students and Master Gardener volunteers.

If you plant it higher, it will grow better Increase yields, lengthen the growing season, get better drainage with gardening technique aised bed gardening is becoming a very popular gardening method, especially for those with limited space or mobility. With the continued economic stress, many people are also starting a vegetable garden to save money. Using raised beds was a DARRELL common culBLACKWELDER tural practice in colonial gardens. This style of gardening has a number of advantages, especially for the beginner gardener. One of the greatest advantages is increased yields over conventional gardens. Studies in Ohio indicated that a traditional home garden with good management yielded a little over a half a pound of vegetables per square foot. In a three-year study of raised bed gardens, researchers produced an average of 1.24 pounds per square foot, more than double that of a conventional garden. Generally, most vegetable crops can be planted more densely in raised beds. An obvious advantage is soils in raised beds can be

amended to reduce soil compaction, allowing for greater root growth, expansion and ultimately, healthier plants. Heavy tillers and plows are not needed for raised vegetable gardens. Organic matter content is easily incorporated with small tillers and hand tools. Organic matter greatly increases productivity as well as pore space and nutrition for maximum plant growth. Raised beds warm up quicker in the spring and fall than conventional gardens. The growing season for early spring crops as well as fall crops can be extended with raised beds. Another asset of raised beds is gravity. Raising the growing media allows soggy soils to rapidly drain for ease of maintenance and harvest. Conversely, these beds also aid in water conservation. Strategically placing soaker or drip hoses directs water directly to the root zone instead of wetting leaf surfaces with overhead irrigation, reducing foliar diseases. Below are a few guidelines to consider in raised bed construction: • Keep the beds narrow and match their length to the site and the watering system. Bed dimensions of 4 by 10 feet are considered a standard and work well

Raised beds, like these in the West End Community Garden, can make gardening easier for some people. for most vegetable garden applications. • The height of the raised bed should be a minimum of 10-12 inches. Beds elevated 2 feet or more offer promise for those with physical impairments. Benches can be built on the sides for even more convenience to those with limited mobility. • Locate the raised beds in full sun. Shady or even partial shade locations often yield poor results. • Water is important for all vegetable gardens, both conventional and raised bed gardens. Raised beds tend to dry out quickly, especially in hot weather. Have a

reliable water source nearby. • Avoid using creosote or pentachlorophenol-treated lumber for bed frames. The wood preserving chemicals often leach out and injure plants. Use pressuretreated lumber, cement block or brick. Those that have an aversion to any type of treated lumber can line the inside with plastic. Please note that over time, cement used in the block will raise soil pH. • Even with heavy clay soil, it’s best to have at least one-third of the volume of the bed’s root zone growing in native soil. Clay soils contain a plethora of nutri-

ents. Incorporating ground pine bark, compost and PermaTill (soil amendment) provides an optimum growing medium for most vegetables. Test your soil medium and follow N.C. Department of Agriculture fertilization recommendations. Darrell Blackwelder is the County Extension Director with horticulture responsibilities with the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service in Rowan County.

Expert tells how to use native plants in the home landscape Hurley Park presents Katherine Schlosser in a slide lecture titled “Landscaping with North Carolina Native Plants” on Saturday, Feb. 5 at 10 a.m. at the Salisbury/Rowan Utilities office, 1 Water St., Salisbury. She will discuss “Landscaping with North Carolina Native Plants.” North Carolina is home to an enormous diversity of native plants, she says, many of which easily make the transition from the wild to the garden.

From skunk cabbage in late winter to climbing aster in fall, “Landscaping with Natives” looks at the “wide variety of colors, shapes and textures available using our native plants. Trees, shrubs, vines and wildflowers are all considered, as well as where to place them in the garden. We will also discuss responsible and reliable sources for native plants.” Schlosser, of Greensboro, was recently appointed by Commissioner

Steve Troxler to serve on the N.C. Plant Conservation Board. She is a member of the North Carolina Native Plant Society board of directors and editor for both its newsletter and annual journal. Schlosser is on the board of directors for the Friends of Plant Conservation, and is editor of their newsletter and manages the website. She created and chaired the Native Herb Conservation Committee.

She is a member and past chair of the National Herb Garden committee at the U.S. National Arboretum in Washington, D.C. and received the Gertrude B. Foster Award for Excellence in Herbal Literature for the book, “The Herb Society of America’s Essential Guide to Growing and Cooking With Herbs.” Call Daphne Beck at 704-638-4459 or email dbeck@salisburync.gov for more information.

Q: My pansies look pretty bad after the big snow and ice storm. What can I do to them now to make them look better? A: Pansies can be deadheaded and fertilized, but not when temperatures are warm, above or near 60 degrees. Fertilize them in cool weather with liquid bloom booster fertilizers. Applications during warm weather promote aggressive growth and the plants usually stretch and become weak. Q: Is now the time to prune fruit trees? I have a peach that needs to be pruned. A: Large fruit trees such as apple and pear can be pruned now. Wait until late February or March to prune peaches. Peaches, nectarines and plums are borne on new growth, therefore, heavy pruning is needed each year. Avoid pruning early on these trees as early pruning stimulates growth and early bloom. Late spring frosts seem to find these trees first. Q: Can I prune grapes now? A: Both muscadine and bunch grapes can be pruned in the dormant season. Usually February and early March are the months for pruning grapes. Q: Can I trim my pampas grass now? The plant has turned brown and looks ugly. A: Yes, pampas grass is a warm season grass that can handle pruning now. However, I do not recommend burning the plant. Many burn the dead flower stalks to eliminate the unsightly residue. It’s dangerous and the plant is pretty ugly until new growth arrives. Q: When is the best time to apply dormant oils or sprays to my fruit trees? A: Apply any time during the winter as long as the temperature is above 40 degrees and under 65 degrees. Do not apply when the fruit blossoms are showing color. Q: I have a group of pecan trees and only two of the trees do well. The other two never bear fruit. What can I do to make the trees bear? A: The trees may be seedlings. Only grafted cultivars are recommended for planting for a reliable crop. Many seedling trees bear poorly and have small nuts.

Some Rowan County producers may be eligible for the 2009 crop year Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) program. SURE is one of five disaster programs included in the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Farm Bill) providing assistance to farmers who suffered losses due to natural disasters. SURE is part of the safety net that assists farmers and ranchers who provide food and fiber to America and the world. To be eligible for SURE a farm or ranch must have: • At least a 10 percent production loss on a crop of economic significance; • A policy or plan of insurance under the Federal Crop Insurance Act or the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) for all economically significant crops; • Been physically located in a county that was declared a primary disaster county or

contiguous county by the Agriculture Secretary under a Secretarial Disaster Designation. Without a Secretarial Disaster Designation, individual producers may be eligible if the actual production on the farm is less than 50 percent of the normal production on the farm due to a natural disaster. Producers considered socially disadvantaged, a beginning farmer or rancher, or a limited resource farmer may be eligible for SURE without a policy or plan of insurance or NAP coverage. Those interested in signing up for the program must do so before July 29. Eligible producers who suffered losses during the 2009 crop year are encouraged to visit Kathy Dudley at the Rowan County FSA office on Old Concord in Salisbury for details on the SURE program and how to apply.

Winter is the perfect time to de-clutter and clean interior spaces, organize and pack away unused items and make plans for your spring garden and outdoor rooms. Are the faucets in the kitchen and bathrooms closing securely? Replace washers as needed or call a plumber for bigger jobs. Small leaks can cause big trouble, and waste precious water. Sort strategically, creating folders tied to the key categories of information that you or your accountant will need,

such as mortgage interest, real-estate taxes, health-care costs including medical travel, charitable donations and work expenses not reimbursed by your employer. Much of the rest is just clutter and needs shredding. Put 10 seeds from each leftover packet in a damp paper towel within a plastic bag to see how many seeds germinate. If fewer than seven of 10 do, sow more thickly at planting time or discard if below about five of 10. Give your kitchen an extrathorough cleanup. Working from the top down, wash walls with a grease-cutting solution.

need to eat your dinner, so you must listen to Mommy and Daddy now.” You will take the lollipop from your daughter, she will cry, your mother-in-law will “tsk-tsk,” someone will be sent to her room for a short time, and you will wait patiently until everyone is ready to be cooperative. In short, you and your husband will have to behave like firm, friendly and unflappable nursery school teachers, and affectionately retrain your mother-in-law.

A woman we know believes it is OK for her 15year-old daughter to have the girl’s 16-year-old boyfriend sleep over in the same bed, even though there is a couch in another room. She says she knows her daughter and that nothing is going on. Her daughter claimed that she and the guy don’t even kiss, but we saw a photo of the two of them kissing on Facebook.

my in-law will go ahead and hand her the candy. It’s not just spoiling; we learned that grandma also allowed her to walk on a frozen pond on ice we felt was unsafe. We’ve tried talking to grandma many times. We’ve been polite, direct, specific and even angry at times, but she says she doesn’t care what we say. We know she is “fun,” but she is also using poor, sometimes dangerous judgment. The lack of discipline is a detriment to our daughter’s growth. What can we do? Should we only allow supervised visits? — Frustrated Parents Dear Frustrated: If a day care provider or baby sitter consistently undermined you and let your daughter do things you felt were patently unsafe, you would find another sitter. So find another regular sitter, and let grandma be grandma — but not be in charge on a regular basis.

This is a very nice offer and arrangement that we greatly appreciate. Unfortunately, she insists on being what she calls “the fun grandma.” ASK The defini- AMY tion of this appears to be a total lack of discipline and boundaries for our child, weekly toy purchases and the policy of “anything she wants, she gets.” Now don’t get me wrong, my husband and I are OK with a little spoiling here and there, but this has gotten out of hand. Because this is a weekly setup, our daughter is becoming more and more difficult to “grandma detox” after each visit. Anytime we are all together, my mother-in-law will go directly against our wishes right in front of us.

WHEN CHILDREN DISAPPEAR

Keep looking and hoping Younger cadre redirects GOP

When 11-year-old Timothy Greene was returned safely to his adoptive family Tuesday in Salisbury, it was cause for celebration and tearful relief. The youngster who disappeared Friday turned up a few miles away, at the home of a relative. Family and friends of Phylicia Barnes can only hope and pray for a similar outcome. The 17-year-old girl from Monroe disappeared three weeks ago while visiting a half-sister in Baltimore. Despite an intensive search and publicity campaign, including segments on CNN’s “Nancy Grace” and NBC’s “ToBARNES day” and “Nightly News,” city and federal investigators say they’re baffled by her disappearance. As more time passes, the frustration and worry mount. Barnes was an honor student and volunteer tutor who had already been accepted by several colleges where she hoped to study medicine or psychiatry. She doesn’t fit the profile of a wild child who might suddenly vanish of her own accord, leaving loved ones to anguish over her whereabouts. The phenomenon of missing children has been compared to an epidemic — and with good reason. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, an average of more than 2,000 children are reported missing each day, or almost 800,000 a year. Fortunately, the majority of those are found safe. Some have simply wandered away by accident and are found within a few minutes or hours; others have run away on purpose. About 25 percent are the victims of family abductions that may traumatize the child psychologically but leave them unharmed physically. However, it’s the small percentage of malicious-intent abductions that dominate media reports and make us fear the worst whenever we hear a child has gone missing. Across North Carolina those fears have risen after the disappearance and death of Zahra Baker. The disabled girl who was reported missing from the Hickory area last October, and part of her remains were found a month later in Caldwell County. Although investigators have questioned her father and stepmother and filed unrelated charges against both, no one has yet been charged in her death. Investigators say the first few hours after a disappearance are critical, regardless of the circumstances. As hours, days and weeks go by, the trail gets colder. Even then, however, the outcome isn’t a foregone conclusion. Elizabeth Smart was found nine months after the 14-year-old vanished from her Salt Lake City, Utah, home. We also have the sensational cases of Jaycee Durgan, the girl who was abducted and held in virtual enslavement for 18 years before being rescued from a backyard hovel, and Steven Stayner, who was kidnapped at age 7 and finally escaped his captor at age 14. As those cases show, even while fearing the worst, it’s important to hope for the best — and not give up on the hunt.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon. — E.M. Forster

Big news is not who is out at RNC, but who is in — and why n its vote on Jan. 14, the Republican National Committee chose to clean house and shift directions. Missed in the media coverage focused on outgoing chairman Michael Steele was the empowerment of a younger cadre of leaders to go with the Congressional Young Guns of Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, Eric ADA Cantor of VirFISHER ginia and Kevin McCarthy of California in shifting the focus of the Republican Party. Reince Priebus, chairman of the Wisconsin State Republican Party and former lieutenant of Steele as his general counsel, became the RNC chairman by the seventh round of voting. Priebus had led his state’s effort in reclaiming the governorship, state House and state Senate for Republicans. Sharon Day PRIEBUS from Florida pulled off a narrow victory over incumbent co-chair Jan Larimer. Demetra Demonte of Illinois was chosen as secretary. Tony Parker of Washington, D.C., was selected as treasurer. Current general counsel Norman Semanko has been in office

less than two months and is from the state of Idaho. With a chairman less than 40 years old and only the gray hairs of the treasurer showing any signs of age, it is clear that the party has shifted to building for tomorrow with a steady hand on the finances. Behind the scenes, efforts for candidates also revealed some power brokers who knew how to support their candidates and what tone was necessary for their candidates and the party.

With its hands firmly on the reins of the party and having heard the grassroots voices, the (Republican National Committee) clearly exerted its independence. Priebus, endorsed early by Henry Barbour of Mississippi, had an effective advocate who brought Southern support to the top of the party. Day pulled in former Gov. Jeb Bush’s endorsement and the entire list of Florida Power Players, including Gov. Rick Scott and Sen. Marco Rubio. Elder statesman John Sununu Sr. of New Hampshire — likely the most respected RNC member — nominated Tony Parker and made the most effective case for having a treasurer in Washington, D.C., to have daily access to financial records, which have been a concern of many RNC members. Missed in much of what is happening is the dwindling of political machines and party in-

fluence in preference to the rise of independents and others who are sipping TEA. With its hands firmly on the reins of the party and having heard the grassroots voices, the 168member body clearly exerted its independence. This group will be one segment of the new power brokers until the economy turns around, but the old guard had its hands firmly on this convention. On Jan. 15, the North Carolina RNC members were all present as the state party met to select a replacement for outgoing chairman Thomas Fetzer. Former 8th District Congressman Robin Hayes of Concord swept the field with 67 percent of the vote — running against current party Vice Chairman Timothy Johnson, County Party Chairman Associations President Bob Pruett and prior Guilford County Party Chairman Marcus Kindley. With new elections for all party officers except the RNC committeepersons to be held in June at its Wilmington convention, it was clear that this vote appreciated the need for a fundraiser and someone who had insights into the legislative process, as the Republicans assume the helm of the state Senate and House for the first time since the 1880s. The eyes of the state will be on the party, which faces a daunting challenge in redistricting, getting the deficit state budget under control and dealing with the surge of conservative voices from its flanks. • • • Dr. Ada Fisher of Salisbury is Republican National Committeewoman for the state of North Carolina.

Anyone who believes that national health insurance is a good thing needs to search National Flood Insurance and Thomas Frank. In a USA Today article on Aug. 26, he gave the illustration of a house that was insured through the National Flood Insurance program for $69,900 and had flooded 10 times. That’s $663,000 in flood claims. The federal government has 42 years of experience with mismanagement of national flood insurance. They have lost billions of dollars. National health care will lose trillions of dollars. — John Leatherman Salisbury

Thanks to angel I would like to share much appreciation to the nice gentleman who on Jan. 8 was at a gas station on Jake Alexander Boulevard in a red pickup truck around 8 a.m. I stopped to ask directions because I was not familiar with the area and was searching for a particular road and church to attend a school retreat for Hood Seminary. The man gave me directions, but knowing that I am not one familiar to the area and certainly am not a “directional” person, the gentleman followed me to make sure that I found my way. As I missed a turn and stopped at a stop sign, he blew his horn, and I knew that he was following me to protect me and help me. He stated, “You just missed it.” He politely got in front of me, and I followed him to my destination. He waved goodbye as I pulled into the parking lot of the church. I think of this gentleman each day, as he was an angel that God placed into my path that day to protect and guide and lead me. I have no clue as to who you are, but I give praise and thanks to God for you. Blessings, my friend. You are truly one of the angels that God has on this earth. I was blessed to have you come into my path that day. And now, you are a part of my life that will remain forever. I would love to personally thank you but do not know who you are; but you know who you are and so does our God. Thanks be to God for you. — Janice Wensil Kannapolis

When church-goers arrived on horseback Bethel Methodist member recalls long-ago days had the privilege of spending time with Beulah Parnell Lemly not long ago. She is 95 years old and has lived all of her life in Rowan County, in the communities of Dukeville and Trading Ford. She was kind enough to share some interesting tidbits about her life that afternoon, some of which were included in an DICY MCCULLOUGH earlier article. I decided to divide her story into two parts because of the wealth of information. This article is about the history of Beulah’s church, Bethel Methodist. I remember, as a child, riding by Bethel Methodist Cemetery and wondering why the church was not there too. Little did I know, the original church building used to sit beside the cemetery. When the “new” church was built, on the corner of Dukeville and Long Ferry Roads, the “old” church was torn down. Of course, it was not feasible to move the cemetery. The situation seemed strange to me as a child full of questions and not knowing this

history. It’s always a good thing to have those who lived the history provide the answers. When I was in Beulah’s home, she showed me a Bethel Methodist church pictorial directory from the year 2002. Looking through the pictorial, I recognized family names that had been in the community for generations, such as Parnell, Loflin and Miller. Beulah feels it’s important to record historical information and took the time to write a summary of the church history for that year. Following are Beulah’s words, written by her daughter, Bobbie Loflin, and used with their permission. “The first Bethel Methodist Church was started in 1884 and completed in 1885. The cost of this church was $260.00. Lumber for building the church was cut from the church property by some of the members. “In the beginning, the original church did not have water, electricity or bathrooms. A kind neighbor let the church members run one water line to the left side of the church lot with one faucet attached. Due to the lack of electricity, there was no night services until Duke Power was established, and ran power lines along Long Ferry Road. Several years later, two outdoor toilets were constructed, one for the men and the other for the ladies. “Heat was provided by the woodstove in the church. The wood was cut from the trees

that were on the church property, then stacked behind the church by the members. The church was cooled in the summer, by opening the doors and windows, and by hand held fans found in the song-book rack. These fans were very colorful and given to the church by a funeral home. “For Sunday School Classes, the church was divided into seven sections by curtains hung from water pipes mounted to the ceiling. “Christmas services were a very exciting time. The tree was decorated by handmade paper chains and popcorn strings made by the children during the month of December. The adults fixed the Christmas bags, and after the Christmas program they were given out by Santa Claus, John L. Parnell, along with a hug or pat on the head. “The people attended church either by walking or in horse drawn buggies or wagons. During church services, the horses were tied to trees and usually each horse to a certain tree. Some of the owners stayed by the windows to keep an eye on their horses. As times progressed, some members went from horse drawn carriages and wagons to Model T’s. “Homecoming was a big event at Bethel Church. It was celebrated the second Sunday in August, when watermelons and cantaloupes were ripe and the crops laid by. Saw horses

were put out under the big shade trees and boards were placed on them. Each family brought a tablecloth, and their dinner was put out for all to enjoy. Big barrels of lemonade, with large chunks of ice, was served to drink and the people thanked God for the fellowship. “These are fond memories of Beulah Parnell Lemly of ‘Earlier Days.’ ” Taking this trip back through time with Beulah has been educational for me. Now when I drive by the cemetery, I can almost see the wooden church with the horses tied up waiting patiently. I can almost see the shade trees under which homecomings were held, as people dipped cool lemonade out of buckets to quench their hot August thirst. Even though the move for the church was long ago, it was the right move, because Bethel Methodist Church still stands proudly on the hill overlooking the community. Drive by, any day, and the sign out front always has encouraging words. A few weeks ago the sign read, “Exercise Daily....Walk with the Lord.” Like a lighthouse standing tall, this church, provides not only a beacon but also a haven for all who walk through its doors. What more could anyone ask? • • • Dicy McCullough is a freelance writer and poet who lives in Rowan County. She can be reached at 704-278-4377.

Abortion-rights, anti-abortion activists decry doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The allegations of murder at a Philadelphia abortion clinic add fuel to already heated debate over late-term abortions and oversight of providers. One side wants tougher restrictions; the other says women would be safer if they had more options. Almost in unison, abortion-rights and anti-abortion activists decried the alleged offenses of Dr. Kermit Gosnell, who was arraigned Thursday on eight counts of murder in the deaths of seven babies and one patient. He allegedly provided illegal late-term abortions for up to $3,000 while avoiding a crackdown despite numerous complaints and lawsuits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This provider clearly operates outside acceptable quality care standards and is a total outlier,â&#x20AC;? said National Abortion Federation president Vicki Saporta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The majority of

providers offer very high quality care.â&#x20AC;? The problem with the Gosnell case, Saporta said, is that state and local authorities apparently didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enforce regulations that were on the books. She noted that Gosnell had been rejected for membership in her federation, which represents about 400 providers accounting for about half the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1.2 million annual abortions. The federation has a self-policing policy, conducting periodic site visits to ensure that members comply with its guidelines. Anti-abortion activists say selfpolicing, as well as existing regulations in many states, are insufficient. They have been pushing for years for tighter oversight of abortion providers, and the Gosnell case is likely to intensify those efforts.

associated press

prosecutors say dr. Kermit Gosnell murdered seven babies, killing them with scissors after they were born. On Thursday, for example, a legislative committee in Virginia endorsed a bill that would subject abortion clinics â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which are now regulated like doctorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offices â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to the same standards as outpatient surgi-

cal centers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to tell the extent of egregious offenders because the abortion industry is almost completely unregulated,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Donna Harrison of Eau Claire, Mich., president of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a doctor in a hospital did a hysterectomy and had a patient with a complication, he would have to go back and explain why to his colleagues,â&#x20AC;? Harrison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With abortion, the doctor has nobody to face â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they basically just slide through the accountability process with nobody to hold their feet to the fire.â&#x20AC;? In general, abortion-rights activists have opposed the state-level efforts to regulate abortion clinics more tightly, depicting these bills as backdoor attempts to shut down the

clinics altogether. Dr. David Grimes, a North Carolina obstetrician/gynecologist who formerly headed the abortion surveillance branch at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, contends that abortion is among the safest of medical procedures. The Gosnell case â&#x20AC;&#x153;is newsworthy because legal abortion has been such a success,â&#x20AC;? Grimes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Decades ago, this wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been a story at all â&#x20AC;&#x201D; every city had one of these seedy operations.â&#x20AC;? Regarding the push for tougher laws, Grimes said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need more regulations for a non-problem.â&#x20AC;? According to prosecutors, many of Gosnellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patients were seeking abortions at 24 weeks or more. Under Pennsylvania law, abortions are illegal after 24 weeks.

Why are kids having seizures after getting flu shots? FDA wants to know ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Government officials are investigating an apparent increase in fever-related seizures in young children after they got a flu shot. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday said there have been 36 confirmed reports of seizures this flu season in children ages 6 months through 2 years. The seizures occurred within one day after they were vaccinated with Fluzone, the only flu shot recommended in the United States for infants and very young children. Ten of the children were hospitalized, but all recovered. The FDA said it is investigating to see if there is any connection between the vaccine and the seizures, or if something else caused the convulsions. The agency said recommendations for using the vaccine have not

School bus, plow collide in NY SAVANNAH, N.Y. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A school bus carrying fifth- and sixth-graders slammed into the back of a town snowplow on a central New York road, injuring 22 children and the bus driver, authorities said Thursday. Wayne County sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s officials said two of the most seriously injured children were sitting in the front seat on the right side of the bus when it hit the plow around 7:50 a.m. Thursday at an intersection in the rural town of Savannah, 30 miles west of Syracuse. The bus had dropped off students at an elementary school and was heading east on Route 31 when it slammed into the rear of a plow that was clearing a side road. The bus driver was trapped for about an hour, Chief Deputy Bob Hetzke said. The injured children were taken to a nearby hospital, where 16 were treated and released and two were transferred by helicopter to a Rochester hospital. The plow driver wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt. The collision happened at the crest of a hill surrounded by snowy fields, and glare off the snow may have prevented the bus driver from seeing the plow clearly, Hetzke said.

One of FBIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest Mafia crackdowns nets more than 120 NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Federal authorities orchestrated one of the biggest Mafia takedowns in FBI history Thursday, charging 127 suspected mobsters and associates in the Northeast with murders, extortion and other crimes spanning decades. Past investigations have resulted in strategic strikes aimed at crippling individual crime families. This time, authorities used a shotgun approach, with some 800 federal agents and police officers making scores of simultaneous arrests in New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island. Attorney General Eric Holder made a trip to New York to announce the operation at a news conference with the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top law enforcement officials. He called the arrests â&#x20AC;&#x153;an important and encouraging step forward in disrupting La Cosa Nostraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations.â&#x20AC;? But he and others also cautioned that the mob, while having lost some of the swagger of the John Gotti era, is known for adapting to adversity and finding new ways of making money and spreading violence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Members and associates of La Cosa Nostra are among the most dangerous criminals in our country,â&#x20AC;? Holder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The very oath of allegiance sworn by these Mafia members during their initiation ceremony binds them to a life of crime.â&#x20AC;? Authorities say turncoats recorded thousands of conversations of suspected mobsters. Investigators also had tapped their phones. The deluge of defendants Thursday forced the FBI to move processing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; normally done at its lower Manhattan headquarters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to a gym at Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn.

Chinese leader draws barbs from lawmakers on human rights WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chinese President Hu Jintao denied his country is a military threat despite its arms buildup and pressed the U.S. on Thursday for closer cooperation between the global powers. He urged the United States to treat China â&#x20AC;&#x153;with respect and as equalsâ&#x20AC;? after encountering a fresh barrage of criticism from lawmakers over human rights. In a luncheon speech to American business executives, Hu also urged the U.S. to continue to recognize Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sovereignty over Taiwan and Tibet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;China-U.S. relations will enjoy smooth and steady growth when the two

countries handle well issues involving each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major interests. Otherwise, our relations will suffer constant trouble or even tension,â&#x20AC;? Hu said as he wrapped up his state visit to Washington. The Chinese leader headed next to Chicago.

Google co-founder taking over as CEO in management shake-up SAN FRANCISCO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Google Inc. cofounder Larry Page is taking over as CEO in an unexpected shake-up that upstaged the search leaderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth-quarter earnings. Page, 37, is reclaiming the top job from Eric Schmidt, who had been brought in as CEO a decade ago because Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investors believed the company needed a more mature leader. Schmidt, 55, will remain an adviser to Page and Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other co-founder, Sergey Brin, as Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive chairman. Google now boasts a market value of more than $200 billion, a success story that has minted Page, Brin and Schmidt among the world's PAGE wealthiest people. The three men are Google's largest individual shareholders, stakes that turned them all into multibillionaires. Google earned $2.5 billion, or $7.81 per share, during the final three months of 2010. That's a 29 percent increase from net income of $2 billion, or $6.13 per share, in the prior year. Google shares rose $12.23, or nearly 2 percent, to $639 in extended trading after Thursday's announcements. In the regular session earlier, the stock fell $4.98, or 0.8 percent, to close at $626.77.

Former Blackwater official secretly tied to Somalia training NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Erik Prince, whose former company Blackwater Worldwide became synonymous with the use of private U.S. security forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, has quietly taken on a new role in helping to train troops in lawless Somalia. Prince is involved in a multimillion-dollar program financed by several Arab countries, including the United Arab Emirates, to mobilize some 2,000 Somali recruits to fight pirates who are terrorizing the African coast, according to a person familiar with the project and an intelligence report seen by the Associated Press. Princeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name has surfaced in the Somalia conflict amid the debate over how private security forces should be used. Blackwater, now known as Xe Services, became a symbol in Washington of contractors run amok after a series of incidents, including one in 2007 in which its guards were charged with killing 14 civilians in the Iraqi capital.

Wal-Mart to reformulate foods to make more healthy items WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Wal-Mart, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest grocer, says it will reformulate thousands of products to make them healthier and push its suppliers to do the same, joining first lady Michelle Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort to combat childhood obesity. The first lady accompanied Wal-Mart executives Thursday as they announced the effort in Washington. The company plans to reduce sodium and added sugars in some items, build stores in poor areas, reduce prices on produce and develop a logo for healthy items.

Woman taken as infant from hospital reunited with mother; no one arrested in case yet NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A woman stolen as an infant from a hospital crib two decades ago spent Thursday at a Manhattan hotel with her long-lost mother as investigators sought the evidence they need to identify and arrest her kidnapper. No suspects were ever identified in the 1987 disappearance of Carlina White, the 19-day-old infant who vanished from Harlem Hospital. The hospital had no surveillance video. Her parents left the hospital to rest after the baby was admitted in the middle of the night with a high fever. She was missing when they came back. The parents, Joy White and Carl Tyson, said a woman who looked like a nurse had comforted them at the hospital. She disappeared afterward and apparently never worked there, family said. As the years went by, it turned out, the best investigator on the case was Carlina herself, living under the name Nejdra Nance in Bridgeport, Conn.

carlina White is shown as an infant, left, and a rendering that showed what she might have looked like as an adult. She had long suspected she was at least adopted because the person who raised her, a woman who went by Ann Pettway, could never provide her with a birth certificate. She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like anyone she lived with, police and her family said. And Pettway was abusive, family said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carlina knows best, but she said the woman put her footprint on her face. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand how you could do that,â&#x20AC;? said Lisa White-Heatley, the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aunt. Pettway, who has had recent addresses in Bridgeport

and Raleigh, N.C., has made no comment. Investigators arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t saying whether they have identified any suspects, but the White family believes Ann Pettway is the kidnapper. Nance had checked the website of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, looking at photos of missing infants in Connecticut, she told the New York Post. She saw a baby photo that looked nearly identical to hers, police said. She contacted the site. After a DNA test, it was all confirmed and a reunion was planned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We took pictures, Joy cooked. We had a good time,â&#x20AC;? said White-Heatley, the aunt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone was so happy. It was like she was never missing.â&#x20AC;? Nance told the New York Post in an interview posted Thursday that reuniting with her family was like a dream. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so happy. At the same time, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a funny feeling because everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brand-new. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like being born again,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The vaccineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manufacturer, Sanofi Pasteur, issued a statement emphasizing that no clear link has been established between the flu shot and the seizures and that the cases may be coincidental. Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement comes at a time when the FDA has been working on disclosing more information about potential safety problems with drugs and devices after theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been approved.

FROM 1a base, are moved to a low-energy preheating oven before they are inserted into a processor. The processor is highly insulated so that energy is not wasted, Hitec said. It heats the rubber until vaporized oil and gas begin to separate from the carbon and steel. In connected cooling pipes, oil falls away from the gas into a gravity drain system. Gas also is collected through pipes. After processing, the remaining carbon is shaved from the steel frame of the tire. Carbon can be used for manufacturing a number of products, including new tires, and high-carbon recovered steel is sought by steel manufacturing companies. Liquid fuel oil can be used as a heating fuel or a diesel fuel additive. Buhr said the oilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sulfur concentration is too high to use for diesel fuel now, but researchers are working to bring it down. Gas also can be used as a heating fuel or for electrical generation. The processing operation is fueled by some of the extracted gas, and the rest will be burned off for now. Buhr said he hopes RDH Tire will use it for their boilers. One military tire weighing 1,000 pounds will produce 330 pounds of carbon, 200 pounds of steel, 350 pounds of fuel oil and 120 pounds of gas. (A standard OTR tire contains proportionately less steel.) Buhr said the company is working

Manson follower denied parole CORONA, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In a decision suggesting that the brutal Sharon Tate murders are unforgivable, a parole board panel refused to consider releasing Patricia Krenwinkel, who told the board she killed for the love of Charles Manson. The two-member panel made clear Thursday that it was the horror of the killings, one of the most notorious of the 20th century, that led them to reject the bid for parole in spite of Krenwinkelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to change her life. They said that the murders of seven people in an extremely atrocious manner had impacted the entire world as evidenced by letters that came in from around the globe urging that she be kept behind bars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These crimes remain relevant,â&#x20AC;? said parole commissioner Susan Melanson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The public is in fear.â&#x20AC;?

Austin speaks out before returning to action BY KYLE HIGHTOWER Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — North Carolina defensive tackle Marvin Austin is exactly where he wants to be this week — back on the football field. He returned with two goals: To showcase his skills and remove any doubts about his character. Austin practiced for the first time in months as he prepared for Saturday’s EastWest Shrine Game after missing his senior season for his role in an agent scandal that engulfed the Tar Heels’ football program. He told The As-

sociated Press Thursday that there is no one to blame but himself, that he regrets his mistakes and is focused on “showing everybody who I really am.” He expressed remorse following his final walkthrough before the first major college football all-star game of the 2010 postseason. “It wasn’t so much that the spotlight was on me (this week), it was just getting out here and playing, showing that I was training and was working while I was out,” Austin said. “And just to get out here and show that I still got it. “I’ve been working. I’ve been working the whole time

(since his dismissal). I wouldn’t have been able to get through these practices if I wasn’t working.” Austin was suspended by the Tar Heels for their first five games and dismissed from the program on Oct. 11. He and teammates Greg Little and Robert Quinn were ruled to have violated the NCAA’s rules governing agent benefits, preferential treatment and ethical conduct. Quinn and Little were declared “permanently ineligible” for receiving more than $4,900 each in improper benefits from agents. Austin was kicked off the team after the NCAA said he received be-

tween $10,000 and $13,000 in agent benefits. The 6-foot-3, 315-pound Austin earned second team All-Atlantic Coast Conference honors as a junior in 2009, amassing 42 tackles and four sacks for UNC team that was looking to begin a resurgence in the ACC in 2010. But UNC saw 14 of its players miss at least one game and seven players sit out the entire season because of the scandal. The Tar Heels sputtered to a 7-5 regular season finish before beating Tennessee in the Music City Bowl. Austin said not being with

New York Jets quarterback Mark sanchez, left, and Pittsburgh quarterback Ben roethlisberger will meet for the second time this season on sunday.

Roethlisberger the vet among remaining QBs BY BARRY WILNER Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — The quarterback saga for Sunday’s conference championsh p games goes far beyond Benny and the Jets. Sure, Ben Roethlisberger towers over the AFC landscape with his overpowering arm, improvisational skills, outsized personality and a strong-willed comeback from off-field trouble. And, oh yeah, don’t forget his two Super Bowl rings — with a third within grasp in just his seventh NFL season. “I know I probably never will win the league MVP or passing title,” he says. “That is not why I play the game.

I try to win football games and championships.” Also trying to win a championship, their first, are Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers, Chicago’s Jay Cutler and the New York Jets’ Mark Sanchez. To dismiss any of the other quarterbacks in the final four would be foolhardy. No one is playing better than Rodgers, who has not only stepped out of Brett Favre’s shadow, he’s beginning to cast one of his own over Cheeseheads everywhere. Cutler has toned down his wild wings act, morphing into the dependable quarterback the Bears need to complement their fierce defense. Cutler even equaled a record set by the

great Otto Graham more than 50 years ago when he had two TDs passing and two more rushing against Seattle in the divisional round. Sanchez? He’s already won twice as many postseason games as Joe Namath — all on the road. Quite an eclectic group, although Sanchez questions if he belongs, even though a win Sunday gives him more road playoff victories than any quarterback. Ever. “That kind of stuff is maybe something you’ll tell your grandkids about,” he says. “But for now, these wins are for us. It’s for the Jets. We all beat them.” By far, Roethlisberger is the most

accomplished of the remaining QBs. He also has the biggest black mark on his resume: Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Roethlisberger for four games to start the 2010 season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. He was accused in March of the sexual assault of a 20-year-old college student, but a prosecutor in Georgia declined to bring charges. Just when the fan base in Pittsburgh seemed ready to turn against him, Roethlisberger appears to have turned around his life. He even was given a media cooperation award that is named for Steelers founder Art Rooney Sr.,

Oldest rivalry resumes Associated Press CHICAGO — The Green Bay Packers are headed to town for the NFC championship game and Chicago Bears fans are starting to become, well, a bit unbearable. Turn on the radio in Chicago and you’ll hear no shortage of jokes about Packers fans, many of which have something to do with low intelligence. There’s been plenty of laughs over a Green Bay newspaper headline that read “On To Chicaco.” Many more center on the dietary habits of fans north of the “Cheddar Curtain,” like this one: What do you call a 400-pound Packer fan? Anorexic. All of this sniping, fun or otherwise, makes sense since the NFL’s oldest rivalry has had 92 AssociAted Press Bears and Packers fans have been at each other’s throats for years to simmer. Vince Lombardi, Don Hutson, Bart Starr, Ray Nitschke, Bronko Nagurski,

92 years.

Dick Butkus, Mike Ditka and Walter Payton — all of those names and more add to the rich history, but so does the relationship between the loyal fans in the two states. John Cochara has been hearing from his socalled friends who decided he was celebrating a Packers win over the Bears a little too much in 1995 and duct-taped him to a stop sign. “They’re saying, ‘You better watch out, there are a lot of stop signs out there,’” said Cochara, whose punishment outside a bar just south of the Wisconsin-Illinois state line included a sign over his head that read “Packer Fan.” The Super Bowl Shuffle video by the 198586 Bears is getting tens of thousands of fresh clicks on YouTube. At least one Chicago TV station got texts imploring them to ask Packers

CHARLOTTE — D.J. Augustin scored a career-high 31 points, including four free throws in the final 11 seconds, Gerald Henderson added three big baskets late, and the Charlotte Bobcats beat the Philadelphia 76ers 100-97 on Thursday night. Avenging an overtime defeat to the 76ers four days earlier, the Bobcats won their second straight game the same night they found out forward Tyrus Thomas would be out up two months with a knee injury. Thaddeus Young scored 15 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter for the Sixers, who rallied from an eight-point deficit to take the lead before Henderson hit three consecutive jumpers. Andre Iguodala added 19 points, but missed a free throw and a jumper in the final minute in Philadelphia’s second straight loss. After Augustin’s 25-point first half, the Bobcats turned to an unlikely offensive weapon to thwart the Sixers’ comeback. Henderson, a bit player under former coach Larry Brown, has become part of the rotation but hardly known for his shooting until it mattered against the Sixers. He hit three consecutive jumpers on the same curl play from the right wing in the final 1:40. The last came with 26 seconds left to put Charlotte ahead 9693. Iguodala missed a fadeaway on the next possession before Augustin put it away at the foul line. Nazr Mohammed added 15 points and seven rebounds as Charlotte overcame bad shooting nights by Stephen Jackson and Gerald Wallace on a night of jolting injury news. After Thomas complained of a swollen left knee following the morning shootaround, an MRI taken during the game revealed a torn meniscus that will require surgery. Thomas, averaging 11.1 points and 5.8 rebounds, is expected to miss up to eight weeks in a big blow to Charlotte’s depth in the frontcourt. Still, the Bobcats were able to get their first win in three tries this season against Philadelphia, a team they’re contending with for one of the final two playoff spots in the Eastern Conference. The Bobcats led 84-76 on Shaun Livingston’s two free throws with 8:31 left before the Sixers slowly got closer. With Charlotte struggling to score, Philadelphia took an 8988 lead with 3:25 left after consecutive tip-ins by Young. The lead changed hands twice before Henderson got hot. He also caught a break when Iguodala hit only two of three free throws when he fouled him shooting a 3-pointer in the final minute to preserve Charlotte’s lead.

When J.C. Price’s first Hall of Fame class was announced on June 16, 2007, Theodore Lamont “Shaky” Bush was one of the original inductees. That was a huge honor to be selected as one of the best handful out of hundreds of worthy candidates. Bush died Tuesday, Jan. 11, at 78. J.C. Price, Salisbury’s school for black students in the days of segregation, won 80 percent BUSH of its games in the 1940s and early 1950s. The Red Devils were directed by S.W. Lancaster, Rowan’s all-time winningest football coach, and were an annual powerhouse in western North Carolina. Lancaster was a believer in the running game, and Price usually battered foes with power sweeps or tricked them with reverses. But in Bush’s seasons as a Red Devil — he was very good in 1949 and fantastic in 1950 — Lancaster tweaked his offense to take advantage of his personnel. The Red Devils had a great passer in Wade Jones and terrific receivers in Bush, the right halfback, and end David Elder, so they threw it around quite a bit. In 1949, Bush hauled in a bomb to beat Laurinburg, and he made a leaping catch in the end zone — jumping right over the defender’s head — to nearly pull out a bitterly fought homecoming struggle with arch-rival Lexington Dunbar. Bush’s amazing catch gave Price a chance to tie, but the Red Devils lost 13-12 when Jones was stopped short of the goal line on the PAT try. That 1949 season wasn’t a spectacular one by Price’s standards, but it was a young team. Most of them, including standouts Jones, Bush, Elder and Roy Burney, returned for the 1950 season. Price’s line in 1950 averaged 175 pounds and the backs checked in at 165 — a bigger team than

Lancaster usually was blessed with — and he drilled them for four solid weeks in anticipation of a banner year. Price had that banner year. Bush, known as “Shaky” because he was elusive, not because he was nervous, was a key to it. The “Air Devils” were on display right from the start. Jones threw two TD passes in a 32-0 rout of Concord Logan, and Bush rushed for a score. In a 25-6 victory against Statesville Morningside, Bush raced for two scores, including a long, backbreaking jaunt on one of Price’s patented reverses. Jones dominated a 13-0 win against Sampson County with his arm and legs, and he threw TD passes to Bush and Elder in a 190 triumph against High Point William Penn. The homecoming game was against Kannapolis Carver, a school that had shocked the Red Devils with a 7-7 tie in 1949, but this time it was no contest. Bush set the tone early, picking off a pass in the opening minute and returning it 60 yards for a touchdown. A clipping penalty brought that one back, but Bush scored two more TDs that counted in a 47-0 rout. Price went undefeated (7-0) in the regular season and qualified to play Raleigh Booker T. Washington for the North Carolina High School Athletic Conference state championship. At its peak, the NCHSAC included more than 100 black schools. Some of them — Durham Hillside, Greensboro Dudley, Winston-Salem Carver, West Charlotte — still make an impact on athletics today. Others such as Hickory Ridgeview, Asheville StephensLee, Chapel Hill Lincoln, Wilmington Williston — and Price — became part of history when schools were fully integrated in the late 1960s. Price played a huge role in Salisbury’s history, culture and athletics from 1922-1969. When Price played Raleigh Washington in 1950, it was challenging a much larger school in the 3A division, but it didn’t feel overmatched. Price had won the

3A championship in 1940 with an amazing club that didn’t allow a single point. That team had buried Raleigh Washington 19-0 in the title game. Raleigh Washington, under legendary coach Pete Williams, had won state championships in 1945 and 1949 and hosted Price in 1950 at Chavis Field. Raleigh scored on a sustained drive for a 7-0 halftime lead. Then it had another march for a 14-0 lead in the second half. Bush tried to spark a comeback with what may have been his most spectacular play. With Price on its 12-yard line, Jones fired a pass that Bush snagged at the Price 40. He was “shaky” after that, darting around and through defenders on a dash that carried him to the Raleigh 4 before he was dragged down. That play covered 84 yards and kindled hope for the Red Devils. But that exciting play didn’t lead to points. Raleigh was awarded a controversial pick in the end zone right after that, although Price supporters still insist the ball hit the ground and was caught on a bounce. Price was outweighed 30 pounds per man on the line, but statistically it was a close game. The Red Devils just couldn’t put it in the end zone, and great careers, Bush’s included, were over. The 1950 team’s run led to two more great seasons by the Red Devils. They went undefeated with two ties in 1951, although Hickory Ridgeview was chosen to represent the West in the 2A state championship game. In 1952, the Red Devils racked up their fourth undefeated season and second state championship by beating Tarboro Patillo for a 2A title. Opportunities were limited for black athletes in the early 1950s, especially in the South. Bush went on to Livingstone, then entered military service and raised his family in Salisbury. He retired from the V.A. Medical Center and Cone Mill. The legacy of players like Bush is now part of Salisbury High, the 2AA state champions. The red in the Hornets’ uniforms is a tribute to Lancaster’s Price Red Devils.

Rose guides Bulls CHICAGO — Derrick Rose scored 26 points as the Chicago Bulls beat the Dallas Mavericks 82-77 on Thursday night. Rose shot 9 for 28 from the field, shouldering a largerthan-usual share of the offensive load in the absence of injured forward Carlos Boozer. Dirk Nowitzki scored 19 points to lead Dallas, while Jason Terry, Tyson Chandler and DeShawn Stevenson added 12 points apiece. Stevenson took all 10 of his shots from 3-point range, hitting four. After Rose’s pull-up jumper gave the Bulls an 8077 lead with 55 seconds to go, Terry missed a tying 3-pointer with 15 seconds to play. Chicago’s Kyle Korver then made two free throws to seal the win. The Mavericks were coming off a win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night that snapped a six-game skid.

We are a family and it’s a close group.” It’s also a group close to an unprecedented seventh Super Bowl title.

From around the NBA... NEW YORK — The NBA and its players’ association will meet next month during the All-Star break as they try to make progress on a new collective bargaining agreement. NBA spokesman Tim Frank said Thursday that the sides will have a negotiating session during the Feb. 18-20 weekend in Los Angeles. RAPTORS BUYOUT STOJAKOVIC TORONTO — The Toronto Raptors have completed a buyout of Peja Stojakovic’s contract, making the former All-star forward a free agent. Stojakovic was acquired from New Orleans in November and played just two games for the Raptors before being sidelined with a knee injury. The Raptors had acknowledged after the deal that they would consider a buyout if they were unable to trade him. Stojakovic had been earning $15 million in the final year of a five-year contract. General manager Bryan Colangelo said in a statement Thursday that Stojakovic did not fit into the team’s plan of “developing our young core talent.” CAMBY HAS SURGERY PORTLAND, Ore. — Portland Trail Blazers center Marcus Camby had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee and will be sidelined about three weeks.

Rivera hires old friend Associated Press

AssociAted Press

Belgium’s Justine Henin makes a forehand return to russia’s svetlana Kuznetsova during the third round match at the Australian open.

Henin eliminated at Open Associated Press MELBOURNE, Australia — Justine Henin has been eliminated in the third round of the Australian Open, losing 6-4, 7-6 (8) to Svetlana Kuznetsova on Friday just a year after reaching the final in her comeback to Grand Slam tennis. It was Henin’s first loss in a major to Kuznetsova, the former French and U.S. Open champion, and her worst run at a Grand Slam event since Wimbledon in 2005. Henin was only weeks into a comeback from a career break from the tour when she lost the final last year to Serena Williams, the third time in four appearances that she’d reached the championship match at Melbourne. Her comeback season was derailed when she injured her right elbow at Wimbledon and didn’t play again in 2010. The seven-time Grand Slam winner put up quite a fight in this one. Kuznetsova twice had chances to serve out the match but Henin broke her both times. In a fluctuating tiebreaker, Kuznetsova was ahead 6-4 before Henin sent a service return skidding down the line and took the next point. She netted a forehand to give Kuznetsova another match point at 8-7 but again hit a powerful forehand service return winner. Henin finally lost when she sent a forehand wide, giving Kuznetsova only her third win

RIVALRY

in 19 head-to-head meetings. In the previous match on center court, Caroline Wozniacki beat Dominika Cibulkova 6-4, 6-3 to avenge last week’s loss in a tuneup tournament. Then she turned the tables on the media. Hearing she’d come across as a bit boring in recent interviews, she opened a post-match news conference with a funny monologue, saying she knew what would be asked so she’d just give her stock answers one-by-one. Then she invited questions on “more interesting” topics, such as the piano, cricket, soccer and what she’s looking for in a boyfriend. Wozniacki, playing her first Grand Slam as the world No. 1, is seeking her first major win. “I am happy I got the revenge since I lost to her in Sydney last week; It was not an easy match; She went out there, she was really on fire; You know, I’m happy to be through to the next round,” the 20-year-old Danish player worked through the answers to the usual questions. French Open champion Francesca Schiavone also moved on, beating Monica Niculescu of Romania 6-0, 7-6 (2). No. 9 Li Na of China, who reached the semifinals here last year before losing in two tiebreak sets against Williams, advanced with a 62, 6-1 win over Barbora Zahlavova Strycova. Novak Djokovic only had to play one set in the third round

double. It should be triple,’” he said. On the other side of the state line, Packers fan Frank Emmert Jr. of Superior, Wis., reminisced this week about the time he survived a small plane crash in 1995 thanks to the foam cheesehead he put over his face seconds before impact. “The FAA credited it, not me,” said Emmert, 52. Mike Pyle, who played center for the Bears for nine years, including the 1963 championship season, recalled how his coach and owner of the Bears, George Halas, brought

to advance. The 2008 Australian champion was leading Viktor Troicki 6-2 when his Serbian Davis Cup teammate retired due to a stomach muscle strain. “It’s not really the way you want to win — especially if you’re playing against one of your best friends,” Djokovic said. “Unfortunately he wasn’t able to play 100 percent of his abilities.” Djokovic next plays No. 14 Nicolas Almagro, who beat No. 17 Ivan Ljubicic 64, 7-6 (8), 6-3. Andy Roddick overcame a slow start before powering to victory against Robin Haase, hitting 32 aces in a 26, 7-6 (2), 6-2, 6-2 victory. The eighth-seeded Roddick is seeking his second Grand Slam title nearly seven years after his first — the 2003 U.S. Open. Haase received treatment on his right ankle early in the first set, getting it heavily taped after appearing to stumble on a shot. The trainer was back out at the end of the set for Haase, who broke Roddick’s serve twice. The Dutchman, despite the injury, made the shot of the tournament so far, chasing down a Roddick lob and hitting a flick backhand over the net while facing the back of the court.

carolina Hurricanes’ Jeff skinner, left, celebrates his thirdperiod goal with chad Larose, middle, and Joe corvo.

‘Canes triumph Associated Press RALEIGH — The Carolina Hurricanes and the New York Rangers had a lot of chances in a wide-open first period. The Hurricanes converted two of theirs — and Cam Ward frustrated the Rangers. The Carolina goalie made 39 saves, and Chad LaRose, Jussi Jokinen, Brandon Sutter and Jeff Skinner scored in the Hurricanes’ 4-1 victory Thursday night. “There are certain games that are going to be exciting, and there are certain games that are going to be dogs,” Carolina coach Paul Maurice said. “For whatever reason when the Hurricanes and the Rangers play, I think they’re very exciting games and lots of chances and just outstanding goaltending.” Tuomo Ruutu added two assists to help the Hurricanes snap a two-game losing streak. Ward had his highest number of saves in more than a month. “He’s our wall back there,” LaRose said. “A lot of times when we make mistakes, he bails us out and they don’t get noticed as much. He’s definitely our leader, and we try to play well in front of him.” Brandon Prust scored for New York, coming off a 7-0 home victory over Toronto on Wednesday night. Henrik Lundqvist made 35 saves for the injury ravaged Rangers. One day after finding out Brandon Dubinsky (stress fracture in left leg) and Ruslan Fedotenko (separated left shoulder) would miss extended time, New York struggled to keep up with Carolina offensively. The Hurricanes struck early in the first period when LaRose deflected Jeff Skinner’s shot through Lundqvist’s legs. The spinning puck looked as if it might stop before crossing the goal line, but it had enough momentum to make it over. Carolina made it 2-0 with 5:17 left in the period when Jokinen deflected Joe Corvo’s slap shot from the blue line past Lundqvist on a power play. Early in the second period, Sergei Samsonov fed a streaking Sutter near the New York blue line to send Sutter in on a partial breakaway. Sutter went to his backhand to beat Lundqvist for his first goal in 16 games. Devils 2, Peguins 0 NEWARK, N.J. — Martin Brodeur and the suddenly revived New Jersey Devils took advantage of the absence of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin to shut out the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-0 on Thursday night. Brodeur had a a relatively easy night, stopping 23 shots in posting his fourth shutout of the season and the NHL regular-season record 114th of his career. Brian Rolston and rookie Nick Palmieri scored for the Devils, who have points in a season-high five straight games (4-0-1). The loss snapped the Penguins’ three-game winning streak. Flyers 6, Senators 2 PHILADELPHIA — Mike Richards scored twice, Chris Pronger had an assist in his return from a broken foot and Philadelphia beat Ottawa in a fight-filled game. The Flyers lead the NHL with 31 wins and the Eastern Conference with 67 points. Daniel Briere, Scott Hartnell, James van Riemsdyk and Andrej Meszaros also scored for Philadelphia. Capitals 2, Islanders 1 UNIONDALE, N.Y. — Alex Ovechkin assisted on goals by Jason Chimera and Nicklas Backstrom, and rookie Braden Holtby made 24 saves in his return from the minors to lift Washington. Ovechkin had the primary assist on Chimera’s first-period goal and Backstrom’s tally in the second that put Washington ahead 2-0. The Capitals are 2-0-1 following an 0-2-1 skid but Washington’s high-powered offense failed to score more than three goals for the 12th straight game. Red Wings 4, Blues 3, OT ST. LOUIS — Darren Helm scored at 1:51 of overtime for Detroit and Jimmy Howard stopped 26 shots in his return after missing two games because of a bruised right kneecap.

CHARLOTTE — New Carolina Panthers Ron Rivera says he’ll be handson with the defense. Old friend Sean McDermott will help him. Less than a week after he was fired by the Philadelphia Eagles, McDermott was hired Wednesday to be Rivera’s defensive coordinator in Carolina. The 36-year-old McDermott worked with Rivera for five years in Philadelphia under the late Jim Johnson. McDermott was promoted to defensive coordinator when Johnson died of cancer in 2009. The Eagles allowed 377 points this season, the most since 1974, leading to his dismissal Saturday. It didn’t take Rivera long to put him on his first staff. The two sides agreed to a deal earlier this week, with McDermott signing his contract Wednesday. McDermott replaces Ron Meeks, who recently accepted a demotion to secondary coach. “I have worked with Sean and know he is an intensely focused and very smart coach,” Rivera said. “He has a lot of versatility in his background that provides him with sound experience teaching defense. Sean is a highly regarded young coach and we think he will make a strong contribution to the Carolina Panthers.” Rivera, who was defensive coordinator in San Diego, said when he was hired this month as John Fox’s replacement that he’ll run the defense in Carolina. So McDermott may have fewer responsibilities for a unit that started strong but faded this season under the weight of numerous injuries and a league-worst offense that put the defense in tough spots. Rivera said the Panthers will continue to use a 4-3 scheme based on their personnel — and may get a premier defensive player with No. 1 overall pick in the draft. Auburn defensive tackle Nick Fairley and Clemson defensive end Da’Quan Bowers are potential selections. McDermott may also have to deal with turnover, as starting cornerback Richard Marshall and linebackers Thomas Davis and James Anderson are set to become free agents. McDermott, a former defensive back at William & Mary, joined the Eagles as a scouting administrative coordinator in 1998. He was promoted to assistant coach a year later and worked with both defensive backs and linebackers. In McDermott’s first season as defensive coordinator in 2009, The Eagles forced 38 turnovers and had 44 sacks, each of which ranked third in the NFL. They forced 34 turnovers this season, but struggled to keep teams out of the end zone and he was let go despite Philadelphia reaching the playoffs. McDermott’s hiring fills the top three spots on Rivera’s staff. Rob Chudzinski left the San Diego Chargers to run the offense and former Minnesota Vikings assistant Brian Murphy was hired as special teams coordinator.

Seattle’s Bradley in trouble again Associated Press The baseball notebook... SEATTLE — Seattle Mariners outfielder Milton Bradley is in trouble again. Bradley was arrested in Los Angeles on a felony charge Tuesday morning and released from jail on $50,000 bail at around 5:45 p.m. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department booking records did not specify the nature of the charge. The Mariners released a statement late Tuesday night saying they were aware of Bradley’s arrest. General manager Jack Zduriencik said the team was taking the situation “very seriously” and added that the Mariners “are in the process of determining the full circumstances of what occurred today.”

Bradley, a Los Angeles native, has a court appearance scheduled for Feb. 8. A’S INK FUENTES OAKLAND, Calif. — The Oakland Athletics have all kinds of options in the bullpen — and they like it that way. The A’s added another proven arm to their already deep corps of relievers Wednesday, finalizing a $10.5 million, two-year contract with free-agent lefty Brian Fuentes. JONES, YANKEES REACH DEAL NEW YORK — Andruw Jones agreed Thursday to a $2 million, one-year contract with the New York Yankees, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Thursday because the deal for the former star outfielder is subject to physical.
