Hunters of men
Bond agents know how to track ’em down BY PEGGY JUDD

roken fingers, dressed in camouflage, lying on the frozen ground for hours. This isn’t a hunting accident. It’s a couple of Rowan County bail bondsmen describing a day’s work. “God grants people different gifts, and my gift is finding someone who doesn’t want to be found,” says Phillip Bradshaw, 50, of Bradshaw Bail Bond Co. in downtown Salisbury. Bradshaw has been licensed since 1995 and works with his wife and another couple, all of whom are licensed bond agents. His father, a deputy sheriff, died when Bradshaw was 11, and family friend Marshall Swaringen became his mentor. Bradshaw later took over Swaringen’s bail bond business. “You can run but you can’t hide” is emblazoned on Bradshaw’s company T-shirts. Bradshaw admits his favorite part of the job is the chase. He’s tracked and captured “bond skips” (a defendant who fails to show up to court after being bailed out of jail) in more than 26 states, the farthest away being northern Washington. Bradshaw has only been involved in half a dozen real fights, and operates on the general principle that “if you treat a person with respect, they will treat you with respect,” but he’s learned a few lessons the hard way. Bradshaw recounts how he captured a bond skip and, to be nice, handcuffed his hands in front of his body instead of behind. He took hold of the handcuffs to take him into custody, at which point the man twisted the chain in an attempt to get away, breaking three of Bradshaw’s fingers. He describes sitting in the woods for hours near a house, waiting for a boy and his teenage girlfriend. They had been arrested for drug possession and had run after Bradshaw had posted the girl’s bail. His patience didn’t pay off that time. The young lovers escaped to
‘My gift is finding someone who doesn’t want to be found,’ says bail bondsman Phillip Bradshaw, shown working in his office. Mexico. It was months before they returned to the states, and Bradshaw was able to bring the girl in. When tracking bond skips, Bradshaw sometimes gets assistance and reinforcement from other bond agents. He’s worked several bond skip cases with Bryce H. Brown, 58, owner of A Bail Bonds, based in China Grove. Licensed since July 1, 1997, Brown works with his wife, who is also a bond agent. When Bradshaw and Brown work together to track a defendant, one might interview a contact while the other watches the people in the room, looking for gestures or facial expressions that could give away clues as to the defendant’s whereabouts. After the interview, the two compare notes. Brown has had 13 years of his own adventures. He has experience as a wrestler and a bar bouncer, and has never been injured during a confrontation with a bond skip. Brown has tracked and captured defendants who have skipped town after he posted $75,000 and $100,000 bond fees. For bond fees this size, Brown works as surety bond agent — a bail bondsman that uses a state insurance company to
underwrite the Plaque on bail fee. If Brown wall of can’t return the Bradshaw’s bond skip within three years, the office, above bond fee is forfeit and Brown is on the hook to repay the insurance company the full amount of the bond. Fortunately for Brown, he’s never been unable to return a bond skip with that large a bond fee. In fact, Brown generally only has to repay 1 percent of the bond fees
NEW ORLEANS — A containment cap was capturing more and more of the crude pouring from a damaged oil well in the Gulf of Mexico, but that bit of hope was tempered Sunday by a sharp dose of pragmatism as the federal government’s point man warned the crisis could stretch into the fall. The inverted funnel-like cap is being closely watched for whether it can make a serious dent in the flow of new oil. Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, overseeing the government’s response to the spill, reserved judgment, saying he didn’t want to risk offering false encouragement. Instead, he warned on CBS’ “Face the Nation” that the battle to contain the oil is likely to stretch into the fall. The cap will trap only so much of the oil, and relief wells being drilled won’t be completed until August. In the meantime, oil will continue to spew out. “But even after that, there will be oil out there for months to come,” Allen said. “This will be well into the fall. This is a siege across the entire Gulf. This spill is holding everybody hostage, not only economically but physically. And it has to be attacked on all fronts,” he said. Since it was placed over the busted well on Thursday, the cap has been siphoning an increasing amount of oil. On Saturday, it funneled about 441,000 gallons to a tanker on the surface, up from about 250,000 gallons it captured Friday. But it’s not clear how much is still escaping from the well that federal authorities at one point estimated was leaking between 500,000 gallons and 1 million gallons a day. Since the spill began nearly seven weeks ago, roughly 23 million to 49 million gallons of oil have leaked into the Gulf. The prospect that the crisis could stretch beyond summer was devastating to residents along the Gulf, who are seeing thicker globs of oil show up in increasing volume all along the coastline. In Ruth Dailey’s condominium in Gulf Shores, Ala., floors already are smeared with dark blotches of oil, she

Team: No more ‘BP’ VIERA, Fla. (AP) — In a protest over the Gulf oil spill, a minor league baseball team is changing the name of batting practice so the players will no longer have to utter the letters “BP.” The Brevard County Manatees of the Florida State League say they will now take “hitting rehearsal.” Players commonly refer to batting practice as “BP,” the same name as the petroleum company responsible for the massive oil spill that is fouling beaches along the Gulf Coast. The Manatees play near Florida’s Atlantic coast, away from the Gulf. said, and things are only going to get worse. “This is just the beginning,” she said. “I have a beachfront condo for a reason. With this, no one will want to come.” Kelcey Forrestier, 23, of New Orleans, said she no longer trusts the word of either BP or the U.S. government in laying out the extent of the spill. But it is clear to Forrestier, just coming in off the water at Okaloosa Island, Fla., that the spill and its damage will last long into the future. “Oil just doesn’t go away. Oil doesn’t disappear,” said Forrestier, who just earned a biology degree. “It has to go somewhere and it’s going to come to the Gulf beaches.”

he first form of bail bondsmen were wealthy landowners or farmers who would post bail for their incarcerated neighbors, pledging with their money that the neighbor would show up for his trial. Today, a bond agent must have a clean criminal background check and good credit to be licensed by the N.C. Department of Insurance.

companies who underwrite the bail fee, though the bond agent is solely responsible for the fee. Many agents carry both titles. In brief, a person who is arrested and has to post bail to be released can enlist the help of a bond agent, or bondsman. The defendant agrees to pay the bondsman a fee up front for his services. The fee for the bail bond is not more than 15 percent of the total bail amount. The client is required to have a third party involved as a co-signer. The bondsman posts the bail fee with the agreement that the fee will be released when the defen-

dant returns to court for trial. U.S. Constitutional law states that when this person is released on bail, he is released into the custody of the bail bondsman, and the bondsman can take him back into custody at any time and return him to the custody of the sheriff. There are seven rules that, if broken, give a bondsman reason to bring a defendant back into custody before the appointed court date. These include leaving the county or state without permission and giving false information about identity or other personal information.

RALEIGH (AP) — The biggest player in the upcoming talks between House and Senate Democrats over their competing versions of North Carolina’s budget won’t be inside the sixth-floor negotiating rooms in the Legislative Office Building. This year, it’s not Gov. Beverly Perdue, equipped with a veto stamp. It’s Congress.

Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson made a memorable stop in Salisbury on Oct. 13, 1962, when he was here campaigning for incumbent U.S. Rep. Hugh Alexander. In this photograph, Johnson shakes hands from his limousine with well-wishers outside the Yadkin Hotel, where he spoke to 350 Democrats who paid $5 each for a blue-plate-special lunch. Johnson was flanked at the luncheon’s head table by Gov. Terry Sanford and U.S. Sen. Sam Ervin Jr. Wearing a bright yellow shirt under a chocolate brown suit, Johnson spent 10 hours here that day, signing items, kissing little girls, slapping people on the back and often stopping his car throughout the city to shake hands. After the hotel appearance, he spoke to a large throng of people from the Rowan County Courthouse steps. In less than 14 months, Johnson would be president.
Simple tricks to ease tendonitis all the above in my workouts before this injury happened) excessive downhill running and sports that require rapid starts and stops. Untreated, it can make an athlete more susceptible to stress fractures. Warm up well, run on softer surfaces, avoid major changes in training and ice at first sign of discomfort. I am icing it as we speak. Rest is the most important treatment for shin issues; if you continue activities which will aggravate that muscle, damage to the muscle will incur. Massage is a valuable tool when recuperating from shin issues. Massage can drastically reduce the tightened and fibrotic (scarred) muscle tissue typical in this kind of injury. We have a licensed massage therapist, Travis Alligood, at the J.F. Hurley Family YMCA who would be more than happy to help me and anyone else with the healing process. Icing, taking anti-inflammatory medicine and staying away from the activity that got me in this predicament are my first steps to recovery. This problem arose due to an overuse injury because the muscle and its tendon are not strong enough to handle the workout. The following exercises can help strengthen the tibialis anterior: • Warm up 10 minutes with very light jogging, elliptical or cycling; • Walk on your heels with your toes pointing outward. Take medium length steps and continue un-
Q: I have tibialis anterior tendonitis what can you tell me about it and what can I do to prevent it from coming back? A: I am the one “asking” this question since I just start dealing with this issue a couple of weeks ago. I did a lot of research and found some interesting information that will hopefully help me and ESTER anyone else dealMARSH ing with this recover (quickly) and learn what to do to prevent it from coming back again. The tibialis anterior is the large muscle that runs on the outside of the tibia (shin); its tendon can be felt on the outside of the ankle. When there is pain and tenderness with pressure at the lateral (outside) part of the tibia and pain with ankle dorsiflexion (bringing your toes up) your chance of having tibialis anterior tendonitis is pretty high. Tibialis anterior tendonitis is due to acute inflammation of the tendon of the tibialis anterior muscle and it can be accompanied with swelling and redness in front of the ankle where the tendon is located If you push on the injured tendon you sometimes can feel a “creaking” when you move the foot up and down. The symptoms often arise with overuse of ankle, for example from prolonged running or jumping on a hard surface ( I increased

til you get fatigued in your ankles. At average strength, you should be able to do this for about 2 minutes. Rest for a moment by walking normal and repeat this exercise; • Stand about a foot away from a wall with your back to it and your feet directly below your hips. Lean backward until your buttocks and back touch the wall and then, while keeping your heels on the ground, flex your ankles so that your toes rise as high as possible towards your shins. Let your feet sink back so that they almost touch the ground, and repeat this action 15-20 times (the reps increase over time). On the descent, do not let your feet actually rest on the ground, which would give your tibialis anterior muscles too much of a rest between flexions. Treat the ground as if it was an eggshell, too much pressure would crack it. After a moment’s rest, try a slightly different tibialis-anterior exercise. This time, from the same basic body position, flex your ankles so that your toes go as high as possible, but do not let them move more than an inch towards the floor on the downswing. Quickly move your feet up and down within this one-inch arc for 15-20 repetitions (adding more reps later), and then rest for a moment. Well, I can’t wait to try all these exercises and be ready to run and jump soon. In the meantime, I have added swimming for a great cardio workout and just plain great exercise.

Rep. Larry Kissell, D-8th, was in Afghanistan over the Memorial Day weekend to visit troops, meet with the commander of the International Security Assistance Force, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, and get a briefing by the U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan. According to a press release from Kissell’s office, he received briefings and saw first-hand the military effort, reconstruction projects and training of the Afghan National Army and Afghan National Police. This was Kissell’s third trip to Afghanistan. The congressional delegation included Rep. Martin Heinrich of New Mexico, Rep. Frank Kratovil of Maryland, Rep. John Kline of Minnesota, Rep. Duncan Hunter of California and Rep. David Reichert of Washington. “I was honored to meet and spend some time with our courageous troops serving in Afghanistan, including some from the 8th District,” Kissel said. Kissell’s delegation was the first to visit Kandahar City since the war began, the press release said. Kissell met with the governor of Kandahar Province and the mayor of Kandahar City. The group also visited a police station and a school. Kissell represents parts of the Fort Bragg military installation.

Cycling champs coming to town North Carolina Criterium Championships to be held in Salisbury this weekend BY SHELLEY SMITH
ssmith@salisburypost.com
The North Carolina Criterium Championships will be held in downtown Salisbury this weekend, Friday through Sunday, and downtown businesses and restaurants are joining the races by offering sidewalk dining and extended business hours. The start and finish lines are at the intersections of Lee and Fisher streets and the entire race will be in Salisbury. Charlie Brown, a member of the Carolina Masters cycling team, is helping others plan the weekendlong event and helping kick off the races in a big way Friday night. Brown placed a bid for Salisbury to host the criterium race, which is a short-course race, where cyclists race together in a group. The route extends from Main to Long Street, but encompasses only four blocks. “ Cycling is NASCAR on wheels,” said Neal Boyd, who helped Brown organize the event. “ Cycling and NASCAR mimic each other a lot. Teams have sponsors, race in a short circuit group and Two bikers race from Main Street to the Council Street turn spectators can come right up and during the Historic Salisbury Criterium. Salisbury will play host get personal with the race itself.” Brown said in order to have the to the state Criterium Championships this weekend. Criterium in Salisbury, he had to
have special permitting by the U.S. Cycling Association and the N.C./S.C. Cycling Association. “ Once they approve your permit request then they are the ones responsible providing the championship status,” Brown said. “ They supply the medals and they commission the officials to be on site to make sure it’s a properly organized and run event.” Only N.C. registered racers are eligible to receive the status of state champion, Brown said, but out-ofstate racers will come for the purse of top finisher. “ People from around the region will be here racing, predominantly amateur cyclists from all across the state, for the weekend,” Boyd said. The races Friday night will be category races, and Saturday will be age-graded races. Spectators can expect to hear live music by The Chobey Badgio Band from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Friday, and there will be several vendors such as Bolle and BH Bikes. For children, several inflatable bounce houses will be at the start and finish lines, and area restaurants will be offering outdoor seating for a VIP view of the races.
RALEIGH — The N.C. Department of Transportation and Amtrak took train travel in North Carolina another step forward Saturday when new midday service began between Raleigh and Charlotte, increasing the state-sponsored passenger rail service to six trains daily between its two largest cities. Saturday’s service launch added two additional trains in the midday, giving business travelers, families and college students more options to travel via rail. The new service is expected to attract 43,000 new passengers in its first year of operation. “ Riding the train is a safe, environmentally-friendly and economical way to travel,” said State Transportation Secretary Gene Conti. “ We are excited to bring increased train service to our citizens.” Amtrak President and CEO Joseph Boardman added, “ The launch of these two additional trains demonstrates the strong partnership between Amtrak and the state to provide more passenger rail transportation alternatives for the residents of North Carolina.” To entice travelers to enjoy the service, North Carolina’s Amtrak is offering a 40 percent discount off adult fares on all Piedmont trains for travel throughout the entire month of June. The new midday trains build upon the existing Piedmont service, which now operates morning and evening trains between Raleigh and Charlotte, a trip that is auto competitive at 3 hours and 12 minutes, with intermediate stops at Cary, Durham, Burlington, Greensboro, High Point, Salisbury and Kannapolis. The newly refurbished Piedmont train cars are equipped with snack and beverage vending machines, and a limited number of bike racks. Currently, passengers on state-sponsored train services save an estimated 3.9 million gallons of fuel annually. In addition they:

Spectator guide • A criterium, or crit, is a high speed,
intense, bike race held on a short closed-off city street loop. • Race length is determined by using a combination of time, laps and race category. • Race times generally range from 30 to 60 minutes. • Races are held in a variety of categories. Men and women categories range from Cat 1 (professional) to Cat 5 (entry level). An individual racer moves up the category rankings by gaining points and experience in their current category. Races can also be held using a combination of age and category. • Success in a criterium can depend on a variety of factors — the strongest rider does not always win. Winning requires a mix of good bike handling skills, experience, strength, willingness to suffer and teamwork. Much like auto racing, drafting plays a big part in bicycle racing. The racer tucked into the slipstream of another racer is using about 30 percent less energy than the racer that is “ in the wind.”

Artists will be given the opportunity to show and sell their work Saturday. Poetry, music, painting, drawing, photography and more will be offered. Visitors to the festival will have numerous chances to ride the rails. Boarding at the pedestrian crossing, the passenger train will offer a 25 minute ride around the museum property on classic rail cars pulled by vintage diesel locomotives. The caboose train, boarding at the Barber Junction Visitor’s Center, gives everyone a chance to ride in their favorite train car. At the Roundhouse, motor car rides will be offered, giving visitors a chance to ride these smaller pieces of rail equipment used to repair tracks. An up-close view of the N.C. Transportation Museum’s classic steam and diesel locomotives will be available during the Parade of Power. The Parade of Power takes place at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday. Turntable rides will be of-
fered throughout the festival. Families can take a spin and get a closer look at how the Spencer Shops operated during the good ol’ days. While train rides and views of railroad equipment are always exciting, visitors will also be able to see railroading on a far smaller scale. The North Raleigh Model Railroad Club and the Atlantic Coast SGaugers will set up in the Bob Julian Roundhouse throughout the event. Rail Days is also home to a huge model railroading show, also in the Roundhouse, with vendors providing all types of model locomotives, train cars, model railroading supplies and accessories. Special activities will include a Model Train Play Table, coloring in the Roundhouse, take-home crafts and the Operation Lifesaver Booth, which teaches kids and adults about railroad safety. Tickets are $12 each, with discounts available for museum members. Tickets entitle visitors to unlimited train rides and all the sights and sounds around the museum. Saturday train rides take place every 45 minutes between 9:15 a.m. and 12:45 p.m., then resume every 45 minutes between 2:15 p.m. and 5:15 p.m. Sunday train rides take place every 45 minutes between 9:15 a.m. and 12:45 and every 45 minutes between 12:45 and 3:45 p.m. The N.C.

Moms host bake sale to raise funds for cancer research KANNAPOLIS — A moms group will host a bake sale as part of Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, a nonprofit organization that raises money to support pediatric cancer research. CentralPiedmontMommies.com, a free online community for moms in Rowan, Cabarrus and Stanly counties, will host the sale from 10 a.m. to noon June 19 at the Kannapolis Walmart, 2420 Supercenter Drive NE. The first Cookies for Kids’ Cancer bake sale was held in December 2007, when the mother of a young child with cancer decided to sell 96,000 cookies to raise money for the development of new and improved cancer treatments. With the help of more than 250 volunteers, all 96,000 cookies were baked and sold in three weeks, raising more than $400,000. Bake sales have continued ever since across the country. Cancer kills more children every year than any other disease. Nearly 13,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year. Part of the Mommies Network, CentralPiedmontMommies.com offers a way for local moms to connect for friendship, support and fun. Members meet online in private discussion forums to
share information about raising kids. The group also offers face-to-face events for members and their families.

mal has a direct effect on tenderness of the meat it produces. As cattle mature, their meat becomes progressively tougher. To account for the effects of the maturity process on beef tenderness, evaluations of carcass maturity are used in determining USDA beef quality grades. As mentioned above, “ A” maturity cattle are approximately 9-30 months of age, and “ B” maturity are approximately 30 to 42 months of age, while “ C” maturity are 42-72 months of age, “ D” maturity are 72-96 months of age and “E” maturity are more than 96 months of age. Cattle with “ C,” “ D” and “ E” maturity are not eligible to receive the USDA quality grades of Prime-Standard. They only qualify for commercial, utility and cutter. Within a maturity group, marbling within the ribeye muscle is the primary de-
terminant of USDA quality grade. Visual evaluation or electronically scanning the ribeye to determine the amount of marbling is conducted by a professional USDA grader. The degree of marbling within the ribeye correlates to a USDA Quality Grade. For example, an “A” maturity ribeye found to have Abundant marbling has a USDA quality grade of Prime Plus, while an “A” maturity ribeye with Small marbling has a USDA quality grade of Low Choice. The following are the USDA quality grades for “A” and “B” maturity carcasses and the corresponding degree of marbling: prime plus, abundant; average prime, moderately abundant; low prime, slightly abundant; choice plus, moderate; average choice, modest; low choice, small; select plus, slight 50-100; low select, slight 00-50; standard plus, traces; and low standard, practically devoid.

tion of the Uwharrie and Pee Dee rivers and the permanent conservation of a 60-acre buffer on Lake Fisher, the drinking water supply for the city of Concord. “ We have one of the best land trusts in the state in Salisbury,” Messinger told the crowd. “ We want to thank you and all of our members for helping us conserve over 18,000 acres in our service region, and ask you to help us continue our mission with your financial support through these difficult economic times.” Dunn’s Mountain is the most recent public park addition to the Rowan County Parks & Recreation Department. The LandTrust acquired the park from a private owner and gave the
property to the county, and the park was open to the public in 2007. Pendergrass, who also serves as the director of Rowan Wildlife Adventures at Dan Nicholas Park, gave the group a guided tour of the park focusing on the mountain’s natural and cultural history. Pendergrass described the quarrying operations that once occurred at the site and the mountain’s history as a tourist destination and gathering place for Rowan County residents. “ There are many plants and trees at Dunn’s Mountain that can’t be found anywhere else in Rowan County,” said Pendergrass. “ That’s why conservation of this site was so important.” Membership information for The LandTrust is available online at www.landtrustcnc. org, or by calling 704-6470302.
that only 2.9 percent of beef graded USDA prime, while just over 19 percent graded average and high choice. Much of the beef in these categories, especially in the “ prime” grades, is purchased by “ white table cloth” restaurants. The majority of carcasses range between USDA Low Choice (35 percent) and USDA Select (almost 37 percent).

Bedding danger found in many of the state’s SIDS cases soft bedding or sleeping with an adult or other child. Another 135 deaths didn’t have enough information for reporters to come to a conclusion. Many states and local governments are moving away from blaming SIDS for infant deaths, often citing suffocation when there is some evidence soft bedding, stuffed animals, or being pressed against an adult while asleep led to the death. But North Carolina Chief Medical Examiner John Butts won’t adopt the changes. Without strong evidence of another cause, he labels cases SIDS and said the movement away from the diagnosis unfairly puts suspicion on parents or caretakers already facing awful grief. “One of the principles of medicine is first, do no harm,” Butts told the Charlotte newspaper. “When we assign a death to asphyxiation, we’re saying that the family’s action killed that child. ... That’s a terrible bur-
den to put on a family when you have no degree of certainty that that happened.” Jurisdictions that have changed their methods to move away from classifying deaths as SIDS haven’t seen a reduction in child death rates, Butts said. “It’s great fashion to fix things by changing the name. So call it something else,” Butts said. “Does it fix anything?” Scientists are still trying to figure out SIDS, said Dr. Patrick Lantz, a medical examiner in Winston-Salem who does autopsies for the state. Research makes it vital to

In addition, educators and guidance counselors are encouraged to nominate students. Completed applications must be submitted to Kissell’s Concord district office by July 10. For more information, contact Mallory Morris at 704786-1612.

Medical examiners in North Carolina often face another problem trying to distinguish SIDS deaths from suffocation on bedding and other items. Police investigating child deaths aren’t required to fill out a checklist for the doctor conducting an autopsy that includes detailed information on the circumstances surrounding the incident. Instead, the pathologist may only get the name, time, address or similar information surrounding the death. An autopsy alone usually can’t distinguish between SIDS and suffocation, meaning evidence from the scene

is vital to determine the cause of death. And the lack of evidence can also frustrate law enforcement. The newspaper found investigators in Alamance and Gaston counties recently dropped efforts to file criminal charges in two cases after medical examiners linked the babies’ deaths to SIDS, even though in both cases, the families had more than one baby who died while sleeping. “When it comes to the point it’s a SIDS case, your investigation is pretty much closed,” Alamance County Detective Bobby Baldwin said. “It crushed me.”

Kissell forms youth council CONCORD — U.S. Rep. Larry Kissell (NC-8th) has formed a youth council designed to teach students in the Eighth District about government and encourage them to get involved in public service. The Congressional Youth Council is open to young people between the ages of 14 and 19. Students will have the opportunity to learn more about government, the processes involved with shaping public policy and advise Kissell on issues important to the youth of the Eighth District. “As a former social studies teacher, I believe it is imperative to get our young people involved in their government and to allow them to see how
assure SIDS deaths don’t get mixed in with deaths that could have been prevented with safe sleeping practices. “That’s for research into why these babies are dying,” Lantz said. If all the risk factors are mixed up under one name, “you’ll never figure it out,” he said. Dr. Ljubisa Dragovic rarely uses the SIDS diagnosis in her job as chief medical examiner in Michigan’s Oakland County. “SIDS has been used as an easy option,” Dragovic said “It has had a catastrophic effect. Every year babies die of preventable causes.”

CHARLOTTE (AP) — North Carolina reported a sharp jump in the number of infants dying from sudden infant death syndrome, even though two-thirds of the autopsies on those babies listed risk factors for suffocation including unsafe bedding or sleeping with other people. An investigation published Sunday by The Charlotte Observer found that if SIDS is being diagnosed too often, it could mask crimes against children and hide instances of children being put to sleep in unsafe cribs. North Carolina reported 136 deaths from SIDS in 2008, a 37 percent increase from 2007, with the spike coming in the same year total infant deaths fell by 5 percent. The newspaper reviewed 554 autopsies from babies who died from SIDS from 2004 to 2008 and found only 25 infants were apparently sleeping safely, on their backs in their own cribs. More than 380 deaths had at least one unsafe factor, like

Surging costs hit food security in poorer nations “I am afraid that I will wake up one day and not able to get enough bread for my 12-member family” ABOULELLA MOUSSA
doorman in Cairo
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Vendors and customers occupy a wholesale fruit and vegetable market in Islamabad, Pakistan. Across the developing world, families from Pakistan to Argentina to Congo are being battered by a double-digit surge in food costs that is fueling political tensions and forcing some to give up eating meat, fruit and even basics such as tomatoes. Families from Pakistan to Argentina to Congo are being battered by surging food prices that are dragging more people into poverty, fueling political tensions and forcing some to give up eating meat, fruit and even tomatoes. Scraping to afford the next meal is still a grim daily reality in the developing world even though the global food crisis that dominated headlines in 2008 quickly faded in the U.S. and other rich countries. With food costing up to 70 percent of family income in the poorest countries, rising prices are squeezing household budgets and threatening to worsen malnutrition, while inflation stays moderate in the United States and Europe. Compounding the problem in many countries: prices hardly fell from their peaks in 2008,
when global food prices jumped in part due to a smaller U.S. wheat harvest and demand for crops to use in biofuels. Majeedan Begum, a Pakistani mother of five, said a bag of flour for bread, the staple of her family’s diet, costs three times what it did two years ago in her hometown of Multan. She can no longer afford meat or fruit. “My domestic budget has been ruined,” said Begum, 35. The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization’s food price index — which includes grains, meat, dairy and other items in 90 countries — was up 22 percent in March from a year earlier though still below 2008 levels. In some Asian markets, rice and wheat prices are 20 to 70 percent above 2008 levels, it says. Many governments blame dry weather and high fuel
Stock analysts see choppy trading NEW YORK (AP) — Jobs are hard to come by, debt problems are hobbling several European countries and oil is spreading across the Gulf of Mexico. With news like that, it’s hard to see how the stock market can pull out of its slump. Many traders expect the market to keep falling, especially with no obvious catalysts to stop its six-week slide. But some pros predict that stocks will end the year higher. Here’s what could make the market stabilize and turn around: Traders should get an initial sense in the coming months of whether cost cuts by Europe’s debt-strapped governments will, as many investors fear, slow the global economic rebound. They’ll also get a better idea of what the financial overhaul bill being finalized in Congress will mean for bank profits. The market should have a sense of the economic fallout from the oil spill. And investors will be getting more economic numbers to determine whether the U.S. recovery is continuing. Still, a comeback won’t be easy, as Friday’s stock plunge showed. The Dow Jones industrials fell 323 points to a fourmonth low after the government’s May jobs report missed expectations and more questions arose about Europe. The Dow is now down 11.4 percent from its 2010 peak of 11,205, which it reached April 26. That means it’s back in a “correction,” a drop of more than 10 percent from a recent high. Many analysts predict that trading will remain choppy while investors wait for answers about the economy. Here is what some are saying:
dard & Poor’s 500 index to climb about 3 percent to 5 percent by year-end. Based on where the market stood before Friday’s swoon, that would put the S&P 500 at about 1,136 to 1,158. That’s still 5 percent to 7 percent below its 2010 high. On Friday, it ended at 1,065. WHAT HE SEES: Silvia dismisses some of the more pessimistic forecasts that a weak job market and spending cuts in Europe will short-circuit a global recovery and push the economy down again. “No way. This is not consistent with a ’double-dip”’ recession,” he said. Silvia said Europe’s problems will be an obstacle for American companies that do business there. But a weaker Europe won’t destroy U.S. companies’ profits, as some traders have feared. “Everything is moving in the right direction. It’s just not moving as fast as they want to see,” he said. “They want black and white and you’ve got gray.”
Anthony Chan, chief economist at J.P. Morgan Private Wealth Management in New York
WHAT HE EXPECTS: A gain of 6 percent to 9 percent in the S&P 500 by year-end. Excluding Friday’s drop, that would put it at 1,182 to 1,215. WHAT HE SEES: “It will be choppy for a good part of the year until we get more clarity on the European situation,” he said. “That’s the major thing that is holding us back because if you look at the U.S. fundamentals, they don’t really look that far out of hand.” Chan said the U.S. economic numbers still look promising.

costs but critics in countries such as India, Argentina and Egypt say misguided policies are making shortages worse and collusion by suppliers might be pushing up prices. No single factor explains the inflation gap between developing and developed countries but poorer economies are more vulnerable to an array of problems that can push up prices, and many are cropping up this year. Farmers with less land and irrigation are hit harder by drought and floods. Civil war and other conflicts can disrupt supplies. Prices in import-dependent economies spike up when the local currency weakens, as Pakistan’s rupee has this year. Costs also have been pushed up by a rebound in global commodity prices, especially for soy destined for Asian consumption. That has
prompted a shift in Argentina and elsewhere to produce more for export, which has led to local shortages of beef and other food. The global financial crisis hurt food production in some countries by making it harder for farmers to get credit for seed and supplies. In Mauritania in West Africa, rice prices doubled over the first three months of the year, according to the World Food Program. Over the same period, the price of corn rose 59 percent in Zimbabwe and 57 percent in neighboring Mozambique. In Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mami Monga pays $25 for a box of fish that cost $10 a year ago. The price of a 25-kilogram bag of rice has doubled to $30. “Today I am obliged to buy half the food I used to buy midlast year,” said Mami, a mother of five.
who is raising three children in New Delhi with her husband on his 6,000-rupee ($135) monthly income as a driver. Valmiki can no longer afford meat, fruit or fish and has put off buying her children new school uniforms, toys and a bicycle. “If we buy them fruit, we can’t buy them food” like rice, dal and vegetables, she said. In China, food costs rose 5.9 percent in April over a year ago — a modest rate for a country that suffered 20 percent-plus inflation in 2008. But it was enough to prompt the communist government to try to reassure the public with pledges that prices will ease as the spring harvest comes in. It also threatened to punish price gouging in a new effort to cool inflation. Even in moderately prosperous nations such as Venezuela, shoppers say they can no longer afford meat and scour markets for bargains. In Argentina, soy production has taken over more than 32 million acres (13 million hectares) of grassland once used to raise cattle and replaced less profitable wheat and corn as well, driving up prices in supermarkets. Argentina’s government has responded with higher taxes, export limits, controls on supermarket prices of meat, wheat and corn, subsidies to food producers and pay hikes of 30 percent for union workers. The moves have temporarily eased the pain but beef producers have thinned their herds in response to government intervention and the price of meat has doubled in the last year. “Before, we would eat meat three times a week. Now it’s once, with luck,” said Marta Esposito, a 45-year-old mother of two in Buenos Aires. “Tomatoes, don’t even talk about it. We eat whatever is the cheapest.”

Kinshasa shopkeeper Abedi Patelli said prices rise when the exchange rate of Congo’s currency falls. “But when our currency improves against the U.S. dollar, prices don’t fall,” he said. “They remain steady.” WFP spokesman Greg Barrow said poorer countries can suffer a “ratchet effect” that locks in price rises due to high transportation costs and limited competition. “Prices dropped fairly dramatically toward the end of 2008 on international markets but we found prices remained relatively high in many local markets in developing countries,” said Barrow. After the cost of food rises, “it tends to take a long time to go down,” he said. The FAO said the double blow of the global recession and high food prices has pushed 100 million people into poverty. Opposition parties have organized protests in Pakistan. In Egypt, a 50 percent jump in meat prices in recent weeks has helped to fuel demonstrations outside parliament over wages and other economic issues. “I am afraid that I will wake up one day and not able to get enough bread for my 12-member family,” said Aboulella Moussa, a doorman at a Cairo apartment building. People interviewed in a number of countries said they are coping not just by cutting out expensive items but by eating less — a trend that has stirred concern about malnutrition. In the 2008 inflation spike, WFP found families in some countries skipped meals or switched to eating corn husks or other low-quality produce. “Over the long term, this would lead to the effects of chronic malnutrition,” Barrow said. “It’s expensive, so we eat less,” said Seema Valmiki, 35,

Freeway closed after bear wanders in lanes in Los Angeles County LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Southern California freeway was briefly shut down while state wildlife officials tried to remove a bear that wandered into lanes. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Lt. Kerry Carter says the adult black bear was spotted just after midnight Sunday on surface streets near the Foothill Freeway in Duarte. The animal later walked onto the freeway, which was closed for about a half hour. Fish and Game Department workers were eventually able to corner the bear in a flood control channel, where they tranquilized it with a dart gun. The bear, estimated at 250 pounds, was taken to a remote forest area for release. Duarte is about 20 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles in the San Gabriel Valley.

pain while they tried to ease the burden on the public schools. “There had to be a haircut somewhere in the education budget,” said Rep. Ray Rapp, D-Madison, an education budget subcommittee cochairman. The House earmarked $126 million in North Carolina Education Lottery profits to pay for teacher salaries in early grades Democrats said would preserve more than 1,600 positions. The Senate shifted around $36 million in lottery funds. Perdue, a fellow Democrat who would be asked to sign any budget bill into law, already had discomfort with the Senate’s lottery distribution changes. She also may be unhappy because lawmakers failed to give her the $39 million she wanted to better evaluate students through handheld computers. The Senate provided $15 million. The House gave nothing. The two sides also will have to work through whether to create a new transportation project fund sought by Perdue; how to reform the Medicaid programs that assist athome patients with bathing and cooking; and how much to give to community mental health programs. Holliman, in sizing up competing House and Senate plans to provide tax breaks to small businesses, summed up the outcome lawmakers must find if they want to pass a budget on time for a change. “I think you’ll see middle ground,” Holliman said.

are drawing them up expecting the additional funds, according to research from the National Conference of State Legislatures. Rep. Mickey Michaux, DDurham, senior co-chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, wants any additional spending cuts caused by the lost Medicaid money to avoid items the state House and Senate budget bills already agree upon to avoid delays. “If we have to go and reopen this budget, we could be here much longer than you or I want to be here,” Michaux told colleagues. The Medicaid flap carries a shadow upon negotiations that otherwise should turn on whether the University of North Carolina system will take the brunt of spending cuts to reduce the budget by as much as 3.5 percent compared with the state spending plan already in place for next year. The House plan would direct the University of North Carolina system to find another $147 million in spending cuts on top of $100 million already required for next year, which with other cuts could mean the loss of 1,700 positions. The Senate protected the system’s 17 campuses better, requiring only an additional $50 million cut. “Their budget was dramatically different for the universities,” Nesbitt said.

health care. “We’ll have to make some drastic cuts,” said House Majority Leader Hugh Holliman, D-Davidson, as his chamber was about to give final approval to its $18.9 billion budget early Friday morning. “We’re already in great consternation trying to do the cuts we’re doing. If we have to go back do another $500 million, it’s going to be brutal.” The slow wheels of Washington also could delay the breakneck pace legislative budget-writers have taken to complete their budget adjustments by the time the new fiscal year begins July 1 — something they haven’t done since 2003. Both budget proposals use the extra Medicaid money to balance their plans. “We’ll have to go back in and find a way to do it,” said Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe, Holliman’s Senate counterpart. “We would all want to balance our budget appropriately before we stop.” Congress has been working on a jobless benefits package extension that appeared headed to contain $24 billion in extra Medicaid money by keeping a more generous matching formula in place through June 2011. But state legislators nationwide got worried last week after the House approved a pared-down plan that deleted the Medicaid money. Nesbitt, the new Senate majority leader, said it was appropriate to count on the money in the Senate budget approved May 20 because both houses of Congress initially agreed to it. Now he’s not sure what will happen. North Carolina is one of more than 30 states that already approved budgets or

and both may even offer a reward for information leading to a capture. When it comes to the physical seizure of a fugitive, they are reinforced with other bond agents, the element of surprise and protection: pepper spray, steel batons and Tasers (“as a last resort,” says Brown). They both also have concealed weapon permits. The bond skips most likely to get away? Brown says they are the middle-aged men who have an alcohol problem, grown kids and are not married. They have no roots that they acknowledge; their alcohol problems make it difficult to maintain steady jobs or relationships. They have no responsibilities, no bills, no car and no permanent address. In short, they are hard to find if they run. Bradshaw’s office currently has 14 bond skips. Brown says he consistent-

that he posts. Brown has his own strategy for returning defendants who run. When one of his clients turns fugitive, he allows a month to pass, giving the local law enforcement time to bring the defendant in with the arrest warrant that is automatically filed after a failure to appear in court. After that time has passed, Brown begins his investigation and tracking. He has traveled as far as Wisconsin to seize a fugitive, but says the most common hiding places he has found are in Florida and Myrtle Beach. Brown said that the key to finding a bond skip is to take away any hiding places the defendant may use, and any safe places. Brown investigates the parent’s house, the girlfriend’s apartment or the convenience store where a bond skip buys cigarettes. The circuit gets smaller and smaller until the fugitive has nowhere left to hide. Offering a reward encourages a contact to turn in the bond skip, further exposing him. When chasing a bond skip, Brown and Bradshaw try to put as many factors in their favor as possible. Bradshaw is also a licensed private investigator. They share information with the local police and sheriff’s departments,
ly has 12 bond skips of his own. “We clean some up and then we get new ones,” he said. Bradshaw is an equal opportunity bondsman with one exception: He won’t post bail for someone who has previously broken a bond fee contract. Brown will not issue a bail bond to a person who has had previous DWI citations. “DWI and other habitual criminals won’t take responsibility for their own actions,” Brown said. Bradshaw and Brown both said they have good relationships with local law enforcement. “We are part of the court system. We are all on the same side,” said Bradshaw. Brown jokingly said that the “public opinion of bail bondsmen falls somewhere between prostitute and used car salesman.” He continued, very seriously, saying, “We provide a valuable service to the courts and community by ensuring our clients are available or returned to court for trial. A lot of people think that bail bonding is free money because they only see the best part — that’s when they hand me a bond fee.

Tornado kills at least 7, leaves path of destruction
Potential terrorists arrested before flights ELMWOOD PARK, N.J. (AP) — Two New Jersey men who envisioned a terrorist attack in the U.S. with a body count twice that of the Fort Hood massacre were arrested at a gate New York’s Kennedy Airport as they were about to board flights on their way to Somalia to seek terror training from al-Qaida-affiliated jihadists, officials said. Mohamed Mahmood Alessa, 20, and Carlos Eduardo Almonte, 26, were arrested Saturday before they could board separate flights to Egypt and then continue on to Somalia, federal officials in New Jersey and the New York
Police Department said. Law enforcement became aware of the men in the fall of 2006, after receiving a tip. New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said they had traveled to Jordan in 2007 and tried to get into Iraq, but were turned back by their would-be recruiters. Since then, during the lengthy investigation, an NYPD undercover officer recorded conversations with the men in which they spoke about jihad against Americans. “I leave this time. God willing, I never come back,” authorities say Alessa told the officer last year. “Only way I would come back here is if I was in the land of jihad and the leader ordered me to come back here and do something here. Ah, I love that.”
political instability in Lebanon have forced thousands to flee the region. A working paper released during Pope Benedict XVI’s pilgrimage to Cyprus to prepare for a crisis summit of Middle East bishops in Rome in October also cites the “extremist current” unleashed by the rise of “political Islam” as a threat to Christians. The paper said that the line between religion and politics is blurred in Muslim countries, “relegating Christians to the precarious position of being considered non-citizens, despite the fact that they were citizens of their countries long before the rise of Islam.” “The key to harmonious living between Christians and Muslims is to recognize religious freedom and human rights,” it said.

Recently, I read an online poll that asked, “Do you scrimp in some areas of spending so you can afford luxuries in others?” The possible responses were everything from “yes” to “no,” with “what are luxuries?” and “I save every way I can” somewhere in the middle. At first, I assumed luxuries meant MARY things such as HUNT massages and spa services, dinners out at nice restaurants and weekend vacations. I thought of luxuries as self-indulgent activities and material possessions. Who wouldn’t enjoy those kinds of things? Then my mind shifted, and I began to create a new list of luxuries. My list contains things that money cannot buy but debt can destroy: The luxury of freedom. I enjoy freedom from debt, freedom from worrying about whether I have enough money to pay the bills and buy the groceries. I remember back in my dark financial past when debt turned me into a slave. MasterCard and Visa owned my soul. Because I’d trusted them to make my life happy, I worked for them to repay my debt. The borrower becomes a slave to the lender. Never forget that. Breaking out of the debt trap has given me the luxury of freedom. The luxury of space. I love clean, open space in my home and my office. I struggle with that. It’s a constant battle not to allow stuff to fill the space. When I succeed, I feel an enormous sense of comfort
that gives me room to breathe, relax and enjoy a calm and peaceful environment. It is pure luxury! The luxury of time. I battle filling my life with too many activities and deadlines and with responsibility. Carving out free time to spend with my husband, children and grandson requires serious commitment. It takes time to develop and maintain relationships. Time is so finite. We get only 24 hours each day. Keeping some of that time for the things that mean the most to me is what I call luxury. I won’t try to convince you that I do not like nice things. I love fine bed linens and leather handbags. A fabulous weekend away is not something I would turn down. But when I look at the big picture of my life, they are low on my list of luxuries. I’d take being debt-free over a shiny new car any day. I’d opt for time with the people I love over finding a way to cough up hundreds of dollars for a leather handbag. I never did complete that poll. I needed an option that said “none of the above.” As frugal as I might be, I have learned to enjoy the most luxurious life I ever could imagine. I don’t have to scrimp or feel deprived because every day, I get to enjoy the luxuries of freedom, space and time. To me, that’s living well!

TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) — A man who tried to repossess a riding lawnmower from a couple on Wednesday faces felony charges of attempted grand theft and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Police said the 37-year-old Idaho man cooked up a plan to have two men he hired tell the woman using the mower that they had hit her pickup. When the woman went into the house to tell her husband, the suspect hopped on the lawnmower and started driving away. The suspect told police he stopped when he noticed that the mower had the wrong serial number. He told police that he feared for his life after he was confronted by the woman’s husband and pulled out his gun. The man told police that he is the owner of an auto sales business and had repossessed cars in the past.

DEAR TERRIFIED: I realize that therapists are capable of creating or perpetuating dysfunction in their own lives, but give me a moment to process this. Heh, heh, heh. OK. I’m better now. These dogs’ status as “family members” should not grant them an automatic presence in the office. Many people who work in
offices have family members — actual children, for instance — who don’t get to come to work. However, I know a therapist who took her yellow Labrador to the office each day and this lovely dog was definitely an important part of her work. Animals can have an extremely positive effect on people, but if this particular dog is frightening people, it’s obviously not working out. Your partners should apply some of the practices you counsel people to use in their lives — that is, stating the truth with clarity, expressing your views respectfully, creating boundaries and mediating solutions. If you can’t find a workable solution, perhaps an uninvolved party could mediate this with you.

MILLBURY, Ohio (AP) — A tornado unleashed a “war zone” of destruction in northwest Ohio, destroying dozens of homes and an emergency services building as a line of storms killed at least seven people and threatened to do more damage Sunday as it hit the Northeast. Storms collapsed a movietheater roof in Illinois and ripped siding off a building at a Michigan nuclear plant, forcing a shutdown. But most of the worst was reserved for a 100-yard-wide, 7-mile-long strip southeast of Toledo now littered with wrecked vehicles, splintered wood and family possessions. The tornado ripped the roof and back wall off Lake High School’s gymnasium about 11 p.m. Saturday, several hours before the graduation ceremony was supposed to begin there. The school board president said one of the victims was the father of the class valedictorian. Two buses were tossed on their sides and another was thrown about 50 yards, landing on its top near the high school’s football field. More than 10 hours later, its right

Let’s be honest, here. Most of us are quick to criticize our local gas stations because Salisbury has higher gas prices than surrounding areas, and when prices seem to spike quickly over the smallest thing. Salisbury gas stations are the first to go up, and the last to come down in our eyes. We’re quick to declare that the gas station owners in Salisbury are in cahoots to price gouge all of us, and I am one of the first to jump on this bandwagon. That being said, when the pendulum swings the other way, we say very little. This time I am going to give credit where credit is due. As I write this, the average price for gas in the state of North Carolina is $2.62. In the Charlotte area, the average price is $2.69. Out of the many gas stations I pass this morning, most stations were selling gas for $2.52. These were chain gas stations like Wilco, Shell, and BP that were so cheap. Even with the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Salisbury’s gas prices have dropped to the point that they are well below the state and Charlotte metro averages. Granted, gas is still a bit cheaper north of here (Greensboro’s average was $2.51), but this is still a positive change from Salisbury’s norm of high gas prices compared to our neighbors! — Eric Shock

GOP offering solid ideas
Salisbury
City has targeted my business Regarding the city of Salisbury’s enforcement of code violations at Southern Motors: It is with shame and disgust that I write concerning the issues associated with my business, Southern Motors, at 1605 S. Main Street. Going back more in particular to 1994 and continuing since, the city of Salisbury and its stakeholders have launched an assault on my family, my customers and even my health. I’m now on oxygen from the stress of having to deal with all that has happened. The time has long passed for these people to come out of the closet. Their actions have been described as “in the best interests of city government.” But I know better; the fact of the matter is that it was for the best interests of a few stakeholders of city government.

Give credit where it’s due
Regarding Dale McFeatter’s article in the May 30 paper (“GOP may want to hit delete on some ideas”): McFeatters miswrote in his article. Congressional Republicans have presented solid ideas in the form of at least eight House bills to reduce spending — $1.3 trillion in spending cuts over 10 years. He also addresses a tool presented to the American people to let their congressmen know their concerns. Recently, a congressman (Democrat) from Texas introduced the same type of website for the Democrats. Apparently, the Democratic Party is trying to fill their “vacuum bereft of valid ideas.” The house bills addressing spending are HR 3140, 3964, 3298, 5348, 1294, 4889, 4653 and 393. HR 393 would create a Sunset Commission. The commission would review government programs, determine which ones were no longer effective, then abolish those. HR 393 makes sense, but it would also repeal Obamacare. Instead of creating 159 new agencies, create one — $3 trillion-plus would just not be spent. Hopefully, the Republican Party will remain against anything Barrack Obama is for. Excellent ideas are coming forth — mainly, don’t spend any more money! Dale McFeatters was not accurate! — Irene Dalton

A bad change for consumers In May, the U.S. Senate added an amendment to the financial services regulatory reform bill. The amendment threatens to drastically change the way credit unions and banks operate their debit card programs and punish the very consumers the overall bill is trying to help. Of all the services our credit union provides, one of the most popular is our debit card program. It’s a safe, affordable and convenient way for consumers to do business. When a consumer swipes their card at a retailer, the retailer pays a small fee to the cardholder’s credit union or bank. This fee covers the costs of operating a debit card program. The Interchange Amendment would give Congress power to control the amount paid by retailers to financial institutions when a consumer uses their debit card. If this amendment stands, the federal government will likely drastically reduce the amount paid to credit unions and banks. By reducing this income, credit unions like ours will be forced to pass the costs of offering debit cards directly to our members, which could cause them to switch to
large banks that are better able to absorb the costs. Retailers will not have to lower prices. In the end, consumers and credit unions lose, and the “too big to fail” banks that caused the financial crisis win. Many features of financial reform will lead to important consumer protections and we support them. The Interchange Amendment, however, punishes consumers who are already struggling in the recession. Our credit union did not cause the problems we face, but we continue working each day to be a part of the solution. We urge Congress not to punish consumers and our credit union while unintentionally rewarding big banks. Please join me in this attempt to have the harmful Interchange Amendment pulled from the financial reform bill. — Huyla Jackson Kannapolis

Common sense
(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)
“You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.” — Coach John Wooden, who died Friday at age 99.
t started with Mrs. Pinkston who hurried home so she could cry after she witnessed middle school students too “busy” to recite the Pledge of Allegiance which is sacred to many of us Americans. Then a successful local merchant said his fury. Then students and a principal defended their school. As an elementary student mentor, I too witnessed students’ lackadaisical attitude toward time set each morning for “voluntary” pledging to the flag. Like Mrs. Pinkston, I was also “hurt” by this unpatriotic attitude. By the way, students, Mrs. Pinkston has been at your school many more times than once because she cares that you learn to help yourselves to a good education. Nobody has said that Knox is not a good school, because it is. This is simply a manner of attitude. Aretha Franklin had a top ten hit that says it all — R E S P E C T. She musically pleaded with us all to have respect for each other and all that we stand for. How do we teach RESPECT? We parents and grandparents (so as to include me) must start the teaching at an early age. For a start, how about “Honor your father and your mother,” which was carved in stone many centuries ago? May I suggest that our public schools devote one morning anTy Cobb Jr. nouncement period early lives in Rock- next fall to play Red well. Skelton’s tribute to his “greatest” teacher, Mr. Laswell, who spoke to his students about the meaning of the Pledge (it is available on YouTube). Students might also be taught a little about the Pledge and why many Americans feel it appropriate to recite the Pledge, while thinking about all those who went before us sacrificing so much to establish the greatest country on Earth and assure freedoms we now enjoy. Even the right to do our nails while others are reciting the Pledge. The Pledge also pays tribute to those men and women currently serving in the military. Maybe you have noticed that our military’s battle dress uniforms have everything on them “camouflaged,” except one thing — the American Flag — which is a symbol of hope and freedom to most everyone in the world. Each and every one of them is an ambassador for freedom. By the way, I told those elementary students that, as an old combat-wounded soldier who had spent three one-year tours of duty overseas without his family, their laziness to recite the Pledge broke my heart. I further told them to trust me when I say America is the greatest country because I have seen many others. I told them millions of people around the world would love to come to America, and nobody wants to leave. The following week the Pledge was more respected. Respect is best taught at home by parents and grandparents (me again). Is Memorial Day just another holiday for picnicking, swimming, playing sports and drinking beer, or is it a day to think about our war dead and the ultimate sacrifice they made so that we might be free? It is both, but how many of us took out a couple of minutes to tell our offspring why we are taking the day off and celebrating? You could do more by watching, with your offspring, one or two parts of the History Channel’s “America: The Story of Us.” If you forgot to do that, may I suggest that the 4th of July is not “the 4th of July,” it is Independence Day, our most patriotic National holiday when we “honor” those men who pledged “their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor” and told the King of England that we had had enough. Many lost it all, but because of them, we enjoy the freedoms we too often take for granted. On Veterans’ Day we pause to honor those still among us who, as Billy Ray Cyrus tells us musically, though “some gave all ... all gave some.” Let us all take time to mentor our children/grandchildren and instill in them the respect our nation and its symbols deserve. Mentor it in such a manner that they would not even think of not reciting our nation’s Pledge.

WASHINGTON — More medical care won’t necessarily make you healthier — it may make you sicker. It’s an idea that technology-loving Americans find hard to believe. Anywhere from one-fifth to nearly one-third of the tests and treatments we get are estimated to be unnecessary, and avoidable care is costly in more ways than the bill: It may lead to dangerous side effects. It can start during birth, as some of the nation’s increasing C-sections are triggered by controversial fetal monitors that signal a baby is in trouble when really everything’s fine. It extends to often futile intensive care at the end of the life. In between: • Americans get the most medical radiation in the world, much of it from repeated CT scans. Too many scans increase the risk of cancer. • Thousands who get stents for blocked heart arteries should have tried medication first. • Doctors prescribe antibiotics tens of millions of times for viruses such as colds that the drugs can’t help. • As major health groups warn of the limitations of prostate cancer screening, even in middle age, one-third of men over 75 get routine PSA tests despite guidelines that say most are too old to benefit. Millions of women at low risk of cervical cancer get more frequent Pap smears than recommended; millions more have been screened even after losing the cervix to a hysterectomy. • Back pain stands out as the No. 1 overtreated condition, from repeated MRI scans that can’t pinpoint the trouble to spine surgery on people who could have gotten better without it. About one in five who gets that first back operation will wind up having another in the next decade. Overtreatment means someone could have fared as well or better with a lesser test or therapy, or maybe even none at all. Avoiding it is less about knowing when to say no, than knowing when to say, “Wait, doc, I need more information!” Medical groups are starting to get the message. Efforts are under way to help doctors ratchet back avoidable care and help patients take an unbiased look at the pros and cons of different options before choosing one. “This is not, I repeat not, rationing,” said Dr. Steven Weinberger of the American College of Physicians, which this summer begins publishing recommendations on overused tests, starting with low back pain. It’s trying to strike a balance, to provide appropriate care rather than the most care. Rare are patients who recognize they’ve crossed that line. “Yet let me tell you, with additional tests and procedures comes significant harm,” said Dr. Bernard Rosof, who heads projects by the nonprofit National Quality Forum and an American Medical Association panel to identify and decrease overuse.
Dr. Steven Birnbaum a radiologist in Nashua, N.H., ‘blew a gasket’ when his daughter was given unnecessary scans.
“We get well-paid for doing procedures. We get paid relatively poorly for spending time with patients and helping them make choices.” DR. DAVID GOODMAN Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy
“It’s patient education that’s going to be extremely important if we’re going to make this happen, so people begin to understand less is often better,” he said. Not even doctors’ families are immune. A hospital appropriately did six CT scans to check Dr. Steven Birnbaum’s 22-year-old daughter for injury after she was hit by a car. But the next day, Molly had an abdominal scan repeated as a precaution despite having no symptoms. When a doctor ordered still another, “I blew a gasket,” said the New Hampshire radiologist, who put a stop to more. • • • There are numerous reasons that one of three U.S. births now is by cesarean, but Dr. Alex Friedman blames some on an imprecise monitor strapped to laboring women. “Everyone knows it’s a bad test,” said Friedman of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. “You haven’t done the patient a big service by doing an unnecessary surgery.” Electronic fetal monitors record changes in the baby’s heart rate, a possible sign of too little oxygen. They became a tradition — now used in 85 percent of births — years before research could prove how well they work. Guidelines issued last summer, aiming to help doctors better interpret which tests are worrisome, acknowledge the monitors haven’t reduced deaths or cerebral palsy. But they do increase the chances of a C-section. While they should be used in high-risk women, the guidelines say the low-risk could fare as well if a nurse regularly checked the baby’s heart rate. • • • Overtreatment is a big contributor to runaway health care costs. Yet it’s one that lawmakers, wary of being accused of rationing, largely avoided in the new health care law. “Physicians get up every day with the good intentions of wanting to do what’s best for their patients,” said Dr.
Keith Swenson tills the ground between rows at a peony acreage in Minnesota. After failed back surgery, he finally recovered with an aggressive rehab program that exercises the muscles that support the back, enabling him to work. David Goodman of the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy. “We also live in environments where there are strong financial incentives to deliver certain types of care. We get well-paid for doing procedures. We get paid relatively poorly for spending time with patients and helping them make choices.” Where you live plays a role. Two decades of research from the respected Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care shows that in parts of the country, Medicare pays double or triple the price to treat people with the same illnesses. The differences are not fully explained by big cities’ higher cost of living or populations that are poorer, older or sicker. How much care someone gets is a main reason, yet Dartmouth’s data shows people in pricier areas don’t necessarily fare better. Dartmouth’s check of 2005 Medicare data found that during their last six months of life, older adults in Boise, Idaho, spent 5.3 days in the hospital compared with 17 days in Miami. Fee-for-service care and local habits aren’t the only drivers. Fear of malpractice lawsuits “has everything to do with it,” said Dr. Angela Gardner, president of the American College of Emergency Physicians, whose members face intense pressure to overtest in the life-and-death chaos of the ER. • • • Care for the dying is often a powerful illustration of treatment going too far. Texas author Liza Ely had lined up hospice care for her 93-year-old mother, Verna Burnett, as she lived her last
days with Alzheimer’s and heart failure. Yet when Burnett developed an irregular heartbeat, the care provider at her Tyler, Texas, nursing home recommended seeing a cardiologist, to have a tube threaded through blood vessels to her heart to check it out. “We were speechless,” Ely said. “We asked what could be done if something showed up on the test.” The response: “Nothing, really.” Ely said the family refused the “painful, expensive and unnecessary test.” Congress’ health care overhaul initially included a provision that would have authorized Medicare to pay doctors for counseling patients interested in end-of-life options. The provision died in the hue and cry after Sarah Palin dubbed the effort “death panels,” a charge named 2009 political “Lie of the Year” by the nonpartisan fact-checking organization PolitiFact. • • • New efforts are beginning to push back against overtreatment: • In Minnesota, the influential health cooperative HealthPartners saw use of MRIs and radiation-heavy CTs growing between 15 percent and 18 percent a year. So the insurer began a new program: National radiology guidelines pop up on each patient’s electronic medical record whenever a doctor orders a scan. It’s not a requirement, but a gentle reminder of when such tests are recommended. In two years and counting, HealthPartners estimates it avoided 20,000 unnecessary tests, preventing dangerous radiation exposure and saving $14 million. • An American Medical Association journal, Archives of Internal Medicine, just began a “Less is More” series to educate doctors about the risks of overused treatments. First up: Studies saying more than half of the 100 million-plus prescriptions for the strongest stomach acid suppressors — proton pump inhibitors such as Nexium — go to people who don’t need something that powerful. That puts them at unnecessary risk of side effects, including bone fractures and infections. • This summer, the journal Annals of Internal Medicine begins publishing American College of Physicians’ guidelines for “high-value, cost-conscious care.” • To increase patients’ savvy, about a dozen health centers around the country are testing “shared decisionmaking.” That process uses plain-English guides, often DVDs, to explain the advantages and disadvantages of test and treatment options. Given full information, patients choose a less aggressive approach than doctors initially recommend about 20 percent of the time, says Dr. Michael Barry of the nonprofit Foundation for Informed Medical Decision-Making. “Where I think no one in the Consumer Reports age would go to the car lot and say, ‘I’m going to let the dealer figure out what car I want or need,’ now we are taking a little of that spirit to the doctor’s office,” he said.
Overtreated: bleeding for colds, X-rays for shoes WASHINGTON (AP) — Bloodletting for a cold? Xrays to see if your shoes fit? Medicines, tests or procedures that can be useful in the right situation, yet dangerous if overused. It’s been a recurring theme through history. From the 1930s to the 1950s, thousands of U.S. children getting new shoes would climb onto wooden contraptions, press a button and look at the bones in their toes, glowing in eerie green light. Shoe stores had fluoroscopes, a sales tool that supposedly helped to make sure shoes fit correctly by X-raying them for five seconds to 45 seconds — while they were on a kid’s feet. The device fit into a “culture of artistic persuasion and scientific blather like Cinderella into her glass slipper,” wrote Dr. Jacalyn Duffin of Queens University in Ontario, in her study of the history of the machines.
At first, people weren’t worried about a possible hazard, but that changed after the first atomic bombs were detonated and the risks of radiation became more widely known, according to Duffin. The machine lured people into stores at first, but “once it stopped working as an advertisement, when it served to drive people away, the store owners got rid of them,” she said. Tests showed many machines produced unnecessarily high levels of X-rays. There was a report of a woman who had chronic skin problems on her feet after working several years demonstrating the safety of the machines. Pennsylvania banned the devices in 1957 and other states followed. And what about the idea that drugs sold in the U.S. actually work? Not until the early 1960s was there a law that required that. It may not have been
known at the time that a product was being overused, “but you look back and say ‘Wow,’ we used too much of that,”’ said John Swann, historian at the Food and Drug Administration. One example is Phenacetin. It was the “P” in once-popular A-P-C pills that also contained aspirin and caffeine. They served to ease pain and fever and give a boost. “It was a very effective fever reducer and had been around a long time,” Swann said. “It was a pretty common medicine at the time.” But after long-term use, women who used Phenacetin were subject to urinary and kidney disease and high blood pressure. Phenacetin was banned in the U.S. in 1983. Another “drug” noted by Swann was Marmola, which was desiccated thyroid tablets sold early in the 20th century as a diet product. People took them like candy, Swann said,
but it wasn’t safe. It, too, was taken off the market. For many people, thinking about discredited medical care conjures up images of medieval bloodletting, a medical treatment popular for thousands of years. It’s still used for rare diseases. Duffin, a hematologist as well as medical historian, says she still uses it for diseases that cause an overloading of iron or red blood cells. But bloodletting was wildly overused and, in most cases, did more harm than good. George Washington caught a cold and suffered severe respiratory distress in the hours before he died. During that time, he was bled several times by a series of doctors — a total estimated later at between five pints and seven pints in less than 12 hours. Even a big, sturdy man like Washington must have been weakened by losing that much blood.
CHICAGO (AP) — Doctors are reporting a key advance in treating men with cancer that has started to spread beyond the prostate: survival is significantly better if radiation is added to standard hormone treatments. Results of the study were given Sunday at a cancer conference, where other research showed that an experimental drug boosted survival for women with very advanced breast cancer. The drug is being reviewed by the federal Food and Drug Administration. The prostate study has the potential to change care right away. About 20 percent of the nearly 200,000 men diagnosed with the disease each year in the United States are like those in the study — with cancer that has spread to the area around the prostate. “It is this group of patients in whom many of the deaths from prostate cancer occur,”
because the condition is usually incurable, said study leader Dr. Padraig Warde, a radiation expert from the University of Toronto’s Princess Margaret Hospital. These men are treated with drugs that block testosterone, a hormone that helps prostate cancer grow. Only about half also get radiation because of concerns about urinary problems it can cause. The new study assigned 1,200 men to get hormones plus radiation or hormones alone. After seven years, 74 percent of men receiving both treatments were alive versus 66 percent of the others. Those on both treatments lived an average of six months longer than those given just hormones. Serious side effects occurred in less than 2 percent of men in either group. The study was sponsored by the National Cancer Institute of Canada.

I no longer have the pain in my leg & back. It has been a wonderful and priceless experience to me!” ~ Marlene T.
“I’ve had shots and different medications, but now I don’t need them.” “When I first came to see Dr. Matthews, I couldn’t walk, lift or bend. Dr. Matthews started me on the Spinal Decompression machine, and after the first treatment, I could walk again! I could drive without a pillow behind my back. I’ve had shots and different medications but now I don’t need them. Dr. Matthews also taught me exercises and taught me how to lift correctly so I don’t hurt myself. I recommend Dr. Matthews and this machine. And they are all so sweet here. They will help you in any way they possibly can.” ~ Bobby M.
“The orthopedic doctor suggested surgery…the treatment allowed the discs to heal…Surgery is no longer needed!” “I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and a bulging disc in my lower back about two years ago. I had horrific pain in my back, buttocks, legs and feet. I was living on pain medication daily. I then moved to epidural shots which did not work, and then finally the orthopedic doctor suggested surgery. After doing decompression therapy, I am now at least 90 to 95% pain free.

Denny Hamlin piloted his No. 11 car to his fourth career victory in nine tries at Pocono.
Celtics even series
LONG POND, Pa.— Denny Hamlin won again at Pocono, pulling away from teammate Kyle Busch following a late restart Sunday in the 500-mile race at the massive 2.5-mile oval. The victory was Hamlin’s fourth of the season and fourth in nine career starts at the “tricky triangle.” Busch held off Tony Stewart for second in his 200th career start. Points leader Kevin Harvick was fourth, followed by four-time defending series champion Jimmie Johnson. The start was delayed 90 minutes by rain then another 10 minutes or so while officials patched a pothole at the

with Busch saying he wanted to “kill” Hamlin following a run-in at the All-Star race two weeks ago. There was no drama this time. Hamlin easily drew free of Busch and Stewart, cutting Stewart off as they exited the first turn and cruising from there. “That last restart was the best (the car) has been all day,” said Hamlin, who led 88 laps. The finish line was almost in sight when a massive wreck swallowed nine cars. Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin and Kasey Kahne were all involved, with Kahne’s No. 9 Ford on top of the retaining wall as one of the circuit’s more sleepy stops
NOTES ‘N’ QUOTES
BY GREG BEACHAM LOS ANGELES — The Boston Celtics 103 C e l t i c s Lakers 94 evened the NBA finals with Ray Allen shredding the Lakers from the 3-point line — and Rajon Rondo doing everything else from everywhere else. Allen scored 27 of his 32 points in the first half with a record-setting 3-point shooting display, Rondo completed a triple-double down the stretch and the Celtics handed the Los Angeles Lakers their first home loss of the postseason, 103-94 Sunday night in Game 2. Allen hit a finals-record eight 3-pointers in a dazzling effort for the Celtics, including seven before halftime. Rondo then took charge after Allen cooled down, racking up 19 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in his fifth playoff triple-double. “An entire team effort,” Rondo said. “Ray carried us through the first half. Second half, we got in a little slump but we stuck with it, stayed together and got a victory.” Game 3 is Tuesday night in Boston. Kobe Bryant scored 21 points while battling more foul trouble for the Lakers, who couldn’t catch up to Boston’s dynamic guards in Los Angeles’ first home playoff loss since last season’s Western Conference finals. Pau Gasol had 25 points and eight rebounds for the Lakers, and Andrew Bynum added 21 points and six rebounds. “It’s a disappointing loss

Hamlin appeared to have the race won five minutes earlier, but his two-second lead was wiped out when Harvick nudged Joey Logano into the wall while the drivers were battling for fourth with less than two laps to go. Hamlin couldn’t quite reach the start/finish line for the white flag before the caution came out, sending the race into a two-lap overtime.

o, how did Brian Hightower celebrate East Rowan’s 3A state championship on Saturday night? Did he go to Disney World? Go eat a big, juicy steak? Nah, he did what any coach who just won the big prize would. He watched Tommy Boy. Huh? “I drove RONNIE home, took a GALLAGHER shower and climbed in bed with my son, Charlie, and we watched Tommy Boy,” Hightower said. “He loves that movie.” When Sunday morning arrived, there was no relaxing for Hightower. Then again, he doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who wants to relax. There was more baseball to think about. As Rowan Legion coach Jim Gantt was lining off the field at Newman Park, Hightower showed up. “He was here way before anybody else,” Gantt said of the Rowan Junior Legion coach. “There’s no one who loves baseball more than he does.” Around noon, Hightower was found giving out uniforms for the Junior Legion. “Gotta game at 2,” he announced. • As soon as East had wrapped up a wild 15-10 win JON C.

WSAT 1280. Was he laughing and joking? No. He was as serious as ever, talking about next season and whether the Mustangs could win it all again. Wanna predict a second straight title for East Rowan? Hightower said he wouldn’t go that far but added, “We’re going to work like to heck to do it.” Gantt said, “I’m happy for them. They could’ve won it three years in a row.” Hightower said it was mainly a feeling a relief. “What these kids accomplished was amazing,” he said. • Gantt was preparing to board the bus on Sunday for a 2 p.m. game at Mocksville when he was asked when the East players would join his Legion club? “I’m really not sure,” he said. “Not for this game. None of them are here.” But when they show? “A huge difference,” Gantt said. The East kids like Noah Holmes and Preston Troutman have been living the baseball dream. A thirdplace finish nationally in Legion back in August and now a state title for their high school. “Success breeds success,” Gantt said. • As East players charged the field and mobbed each other after the Game 2 victory, Salisbury football coach Joe Pinyan watched from the right-field corner.

Dreary doubleheader for Rowan Legion Rowan can’t hold lead against Mocksville BY MIKE LONDON
mlondon@salisburypost.com
MOCKSVILLE — Mocksville slugger Hernan Bautista crushed an inMocksville 14 side curveball toward the Rowan 5 tall trees behind the leftfield fence, and the only question was fair or foul. The umpire pointed fair, and Mocksville’s big catcher had put an emphatic exclamation point on a 14-5 victory against Rowan County at Rich Park on Sunday afternoon. “I hit it pretty good, but the way my luck’s been going, I figured it would just be a foul ball,” said Bautista, a West Rowan grad. Mocksville was luckier and better than Rowan, which was still awaiting reinforcements from 3A state champ East Rowan.
Zach Smith had three hits and Matt Miller reached base five times, but Mocksville scored 11 unanswered runs to batter a program that’s been its nemesis. “We’ve taken beatings MILLER from Rowan in the past, but we pulled together as a team instead of being individuals,” said Mocksville hero Ryan Carter, who snapped a 5-5 tie in the sixth with a three-run double. A series of baserunning blunders stalled Rowan after it had wiped out an early 2-0 deficit and grabbed momentum. “We probably should have tacked on a few more on that lead and put them away, but in-

Stanly cruises on a rainy night at Newman BY JORDAN HONEYCUTT sports@salisburypost.com
There must have been something in the water at Newman Stanly 11 Park on Rowan 3 Sunday night. Rainwater, that is. After rain fell in the second inning for about an hour and delayed the game between Rowan County and Stanly County, it seemed to wake up Stanly and zap the energy from the home team. Stanly starter John Mc-
SMITH
TROUTMAN
Clure hurled seven strong innings, got ahead of Rowan hitters consistently and led the visitors to an 11-3 victory. McClure retired 11 consecutive batters during one impressive stretch.
Stanly’s offense had fourrun outbursts in the fourth and ninth, belted timely hits and capitalized on Rowan control problems on the mound. On a dreary night, Zach Smith and Preston Troutman stood out for Rowan. Smith scored twice, and Troutman went 2-for-3 with two doubles and a run scored. “It’s been a while since I lost a game but we played hard and they were just better than us tonight,” Troutman said

While Patrick led only one lap late and finished second at Texas, she was ecstatic after the race on the highbanked, 11⁄2-mile track late Saturday night. Patrick was passing cars high and low, seemingly comfortable in any traffic. She was driving hard near the front pack the entire race . Patrick feels it was her best race in not making mistakes, being good in and out of the pits and being good on the track. Roger Penske, the owner of Briscoe’s car, says Patrick’s performance was “terrific.”

“We wanted to look at him,” Payton said. “He was here for the rookie camp and did a good job. He’s a pretty good decision maker.” Paulus stopped short of saying he expects to return for training camp. The Saints have been talking with several veterans, including Josh McCown and Patrick Ramsey, who could come in and compete with Daniel, a secondyear pro, for the backup role behind Brees. If that happened, Paulus could be out of the picture in New Orleans. “There are a lot of different scenarios that could help or hurt you and you’ve got to control the things that you can control, which is your performance and what you do on the field and how you carry yourself,” Paulus said. “My primary focus is to be me, do what I do and hopefully there’s a chance here because this is a special organization.” Paulus, who grew up in Syracuse, was a high school standout in both football and basketball. In the winter of 2005, he was selected for the Army AllAmerican high school football game along with other top college recruits such as current Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez. After that, however, he didn’t play organized football for another four years.

Rafael Nadal celebrates his French Open victory against Robin Soderling.
Nadal wins French Associated Press
PARIS — Accustomed to being on the move, Rafael Nadal fidgeted in his chair during a changeover one game from his fifth French Open title. He jiggled his legs, took two bites of a banana, toweled off his arms and face, then rose and finished the job. Soon he was back in the chair sobbing into the towel, overcome with the emotion that accompanied his accomplishment. The relentless Spaniard reclaimed his crown Sunday as the King of Clay, avenging his lone Roland Garros defeat by beating Robin Soderling 6-4, 6-2, 6-4. “It’s the most emotional day in my career,” Nadal told the crowd in French during the trophy ceremony. His bad memories of 2009 included not only an upset loss to Soderling at Roland Garros, but the separation of his parents and knee tendinitis that contributed to a prolonged slump. “It was a difficult year for me last year,” he said. “It was difficult to accept the injuries and everything.” The victory ended his longest Grand Slam drought since winning his first major title at Roland Garros in 2005. Seeded No. 2, Nadal won with dogged defense, chasing down shots all over the court. He swept seven consecutive games midway through the match and held every serve, saving all eight break points he faced. Nadal improved to 38-1 at Roland Garros, with the only loss to Soderling in the fourth round a year ago. “I played my best match against you,” Nadal told the big-swinging Swede during the trophy ceremony. “If not, it’s going to be impossible to beat you.” Nadal became the second man to win the French Open at least five times, and next year he’ll have a chance to match Bjorn Borg’s record of six titles. “It’s really impressive,” Soderling told Nadal. “If you continue like this, you will sure have the chance to win many more.” With the victory, Nadal will also reclaim

the No. 1 ranking Monday, supplanting Roger Federer. Soderling, who has yet to win a major title, finished as the runner-up for the second year in a row. In 2009 he lost in the final to Federer. “I love this tournament,” he said. “I will come back next year, and I hope I’ll be third time lucky then.” When Soderling’s final shot landed in the net, Nadal slid onto his back, threw up his fists and rose, shaking from his hair the clay he loves. When he sat down, he began to cry. “It was a really emotional moment for me,” he said. “After you win this big title, you lose your tension.” The weather was mild and mostly cloudy — a nice day to go running, and Nadal did plenty of it. Playing farther behind the baseline than in their match last year, he skidded across the clay and lunged to dig shots out of the corners, repeatedly extending points until Soderling finally misfired. Soderling tried to win points quickly and sometimes did, but most of the long rallies went Nadal’s way. Before the first set ended, the Swede was panting between points. To compound Soderling’s woes, he had an off day with his serve, his biggest weapon. He totaled only seven aces, the same number Nadal. For the other six rounds, Soderling had 75 aces, Nadal 12. “I didn’t play as good this year as I did against him last year,” Soderling said. “I didn’t serve as well. I wasn’t hitting the ball as clean. It was tough today. I didn’t really get into the match.” Nadal’s march to his seventh Grand Slam title was deliberate only between points. Advised by the chair umpire he was taking too much time with his methodical ritual before serving, Nadal responded, “Thank you,” and slightly picked up the pace. Nadal’s persistence paid off big early in the second set. Facing a break point, he retrieved shots from both corners and punched back a Soderling slam, then charged forward and hit a deft drop volley for a winner. The stadium shook with a roar, and Nadal threw an uppercut accompanied by a leg kick.
of control.” Stewart, while admitting he didn’t have enough car to chase down Hamlin, wasn’t pleased either. He called the racing off the restarts “idiotic” and left little doubt that he’ll seek payback starting next week in Michigan. “I’ve seen some of the worst driving I’ve ever seen in my life in a professional series right here today,” he said. “So for anybody that’s looking for drama for the next couple races,
CHICAGO — Dustin Byfuglien scored two goals and had two assists as the Chicago Blackhawks 7 B l a c k Flyers 4 hawks got off to a quick start, got their offense untracked and beat the Philadelphia Flyers 7-4 on Sunday night for a 3-2 lead in the Stanley Cup finals. Brent Seabrook added a power-play goal and Dave Bolland, Kris Versteeg, Patrick Kane and Patrick Sharp also scored for the Blackhawks. Chicago can capture the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1961 with a victory Wednesday night in Philadelphia in Game 6. A Flyers win would send the series back to Chicago for a decisive Game 7 on Friday night. All five wins in the series have come on home ice. Scott Hartnell, Kimmo Timonen, James van Riemsdyk and Simon Gagne scored for the Flyers. Gagne’s goal with 2:36 left made it 6-4, but a half-minute later Byfuglien converted an empty-netter. After two straight losses

for our ballclub, but they did a good job,” Gasol said. “They really executed and had a good game plan. We definitely need to make sure we hustle a little more. They got to the ball a lot of times quicker than we did, secondchance opportunities, loose balls. They were pursuing the ball with a little more desire.” The clubs traded the lead throughout the fourth quarter, but Rondo’s heady layup put the Celtics ahead for good with 3:21 to play. The play was vintage Rondo, scooting in to collect a shot blocked by Gasol and scoring before Gasol could react. Kevin Garnett then hit a jumper, and after another possession of stifling defense, Rondo hit another jumper, celebrating with a swing of his arm in the mostly silent Staples Center. Rondo has grown into possibly the Celtics’ biggest offensive threat in these playoffs. Although it wasn’t as gaudy as his 29-point, 18-rebound, 13-assist, monstrous Game 4 in the second round against Cleveland, his 10point fourth quarter against the Lakers looms among his

He celebrated with a lengthy burnout and ended up nicking the wall in the process. He might want to take care of the car, which is 3-for-3 on the season. Busch was hoping to make his
in Philadelphia, a return to the United Center invigorated the Blackhawks as did some line mixing by coach Joel Quenneville. The Blackhawks blitzed Flyers goalie Michael Leighton with three goals in the final 7:43 of the first period and the United Center erupted as Chicago quickly found the offensive game that had helped it make the finals. Leighton was pulled — for the second time in the series in favor of Brian Boucher — after giving up three goals on 13 shots in the first period. Trailing 3-0, the Flyers wasted little time in getting one of the goals back as Ville Leino took the puck to side of the net and tried to stuff it in. But after hitting goalie Antti Niemi, the puck sat just off the line before Hartnell came in and knocked it home just 32 seconds into the period. Kane, who had been with Byfuglien on a struggling Blackhawks first line that Quenneville split up, got his second goal of the finals.
largest achievements — particularly if Boston gets rolling toward its 18th championship during three straight games at home over the next week. “He just did a lot of things — the blocked shots, the steals,” Boston coach Doc Rivers said. “He’s our quarterback, and he does a lot of stuff for us. He was special tonight.” After the Lakers’ whistleplagued 102-89 victory in the opener, both teams again struggled under the weight of foul trouble. Garnett and Bryant both spent extra time on the bench, with Bryant picking up his fifth foul early in the fourth. Garnett had just six points, and Paul Pierce never got going, scoring 10 on 2of-11 shooting. The Celtics also struggled against the Lakers’ lowpost game. With Allen and Rondo playing spectacular basketball, none of their flaws mattered much. “They both were terrific,” Rivers said. Allen had just 12 points on 3-for-8 shooting in the opener, never finding his rhythm after early foul trouble. He didn’t even hit a 3-pointer in Game 1 — but the sharpshooting veteran was just saving it up.
record-breaking start memorable. At 25 years, one month and four days old he became the youngest driver ever to reach the 200-start plateau. Brian Vickers was 25 years, 11 months, 3 days old when he made his 200th start. Busch led four times for 32 laps but wasn’t complaining after coming up short. He’s never been a fan of the quirky eastern Pennsylvania track. That didn’t change even after his best finish here.

stead we gave Mocksville life with bad baserunning,” Gantt said. “But no excuses. Our pitchers got behind in the count all day and we got beat.” The game turned in the bottom of the sixth. Rowan’s Forrest Buchanan had pitched OK to that point and had a 5-3 lead, but things unraveled quickly. “It was hot, but Forrest still felt fine and they had 7-8-9 coming up,” Gantt said. “Then the wheels come off.” Those bottom-of-the-order guys reached without needing to swing. One walk. Two hit batsmen. Based loaded. Alex Litaker relieved Buchanan and struck out leadoff man Tyler Jordan. But Bret Peterson, who had four hits, was next, and his sharp, two-run single to left made it 5-5. Litaker hit Jess Cartner with a pitch to reload the bases before he fanned Bautista for the second out. That set the stage for Carter to cleared the bases with a booming double that ricocheted off the fence.Then Zach Long knocked in Carter to cap a six-run inning. Winning pitcher Joe Watson blasted a homer to left in the seventh to make it 10-5. “He had two strikes on me, and I was kinda looking for a fastball inside,” said Watson, a Davie junior who is a Duke football commitment. “I took a pretty healthy cut at it.” Watson pitched around several defensive lapses. “We made errors, but you have to trust your defense and try to keep getting groundballs,” he said. Mocksville coach Charles Kurfees praised Watson for maintaining his poise when things looked bad early. “Our fielding has just been horrendous — that’s 14 errors in two games, and we know we have to field it better,” he said. “But Joe is pitching great.”
Rowan’s best pitching performance was turned in by Dakota Brown who tossed three innings, giving up no runs and only one hit. “We played a good team tonight, their hitters battled, and they made us pay on all of our mistakes,” Rowan coach Jim Gantt said. “I think part of it is that guys are worried about making the team and pressing, maybe trying to do too much and we just need to not be so overanxious at the plate.” Stanly turned in a complete effort, and coach Terry Tucker was pleased with his team’s performance. Right fielder Gus Fesperman went 3-for-4 with two runs and two RBIs, and third baseman Jacob Beck was 3for-5 with two runs and an RBI. “We played the most complete game that we have played all year,” Tucker said. “Our hitting has been doing well all year, but tonight John (McClure) was huge for us.” Nathan Fulbright reached three times for Rowan, and Andy Austin and Hayden Untz collected an RBI each. Many players have turned in impressive performances for Rowan in the early going, giving Gantt some tough roster decisions to make in the near future. Rowan returns to action, hopefully under friendlier skies, at Newman Park on Wednesday and will look to break a four-game against Lexington.

MOCKSVILLE — Always known for location that’s almost as good as his disposition, West Rowan’s D.J. Webb will continue his pitching career at Catawba next season. Webb will be a walk-on for the talented Indians who annually produce draft picks and championships, but there’s a reasonable chance he’ll earn some innings. “Catawba’s the place I’ve always been real interested in,” Webb said. “When I found out I was accepted at Catawba and found out I was getting enough scholarships and federal aid where I won’t have to pay much, I sent them a letter and they said I’ve got a spot on the team.” A spot is all Webb is asking for. He knows it’s up to him to make the most of the opportunities that arise.
Webb recently concluded a senior season filled with black cats and broken mirrors. He won only two games for the Falcons (14-12), who had to be the best 3A team in the state that didn’t make the playoffs. When East Rowan squared off with Northwest Cabarrus in the fourth round of the 3A playoffs, West fans had to be frustrated. The Falcons had beaten both teams. One of Webb’s wins was a complete game against East. The other was a two-hitter against Salisbury. “Pitching is mostly what my life is,” the quiet right-hander said. “This was one of those years where I had real heartbreaking losses, but you’ve just got to go with it.” Webb lost 3-2 in the ninth at Carson despite going the distance and not allowing an earned run. He also was the loser in an extra-innings struggle at East that ended his prep
career in the NPC tournament. Webb also boosted the Falcons with his bat. His .404 batting average as a third baseman and DH helped him earn all-county honors for the second straight year. He was 4-1 with six saves as a junior. Webb is currently pitching and playing third base for the Mocksville Legion team. On Friday, he stifled Concord for nine innings. “D.J.’s got it working right now,” said Mocksville catcher Hernan Bautista, who was Webb’s teammate at West in 2009. “His location is very good. He hitting his spots.” Mocksville coach Charles Kurfees appreciates Webb’s pitching, poise and personality. “D.J. gets ahead and gets groundballs, so he’s a successful pitcher, ” Kurfees said. “And what a super young man. If everybody had his attitude, it would be unbelievable.”
NOTES: Rowan is expected to be near full strength on Wednesday for the first time, although third baseman Noah Holmes came out of the 3A championship series, nursing a sore quad and hamstring. ... Rowan is 5-5 and 2-3 in the league. Stanly is 6-2, 4-2. Stanly 11, Rowan 3 STANLY

SALISBURY POST
Associated Press BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Orioles ended their 10-game losing streak in dramatic fashion, getting an RBI single from slumping Nick Markakis in the 11th inning to defeat the Boston Red Sox 4-3 Sunday. The victory was the first for interim manager Juan Samuel, who was promoted when Dave Trembley was fired Friday. The Orioles lost Samuel’s first two games by a combined 19-2 score. Cesar Izturis led off the 11th with a walk against Hideki Okajima (2-2) and went to second on a sacrifice. After Miguel Tejada was walked intentionally, Markakis — mired in an 0-for-14 skid — blooped a single to center that easily scored the winning run. Yankees 4, Blue Jays 3 TORONTO— Robinson Cano hit a tiebreaking, two-run single in the eighth inning and the Yankees rallied past the Blue Jays to avoid a three-game sweep. Vernon Wells’ two-run homer in the sixth was the only hit allowed by Yankees starter Javier Vazquez (5-5) in seven innings, and New York’s power-packed lineup — which managed just three runs in the first 30 innings of the series — scored four times in the eighth. Rays 9, Rangers 5 ARLINGTON, Texas — John Jaso drove in five runs, Matt Garza won for the first time in a month and the Rays avoided a weekend sweep. Jaso had a two-run homer, a two-run single and an RBI double as the designated hitter from the leadoff spot, a day after the rookie became the first Rays catcher ever to bat first. Athletics 5, Twins 4 OAKLAND, Calif. — Gio Gonzalez struck out four in seven innings to win his third straight decision, and the Athletics scored all of their runs with two outs against the

Mike Napoli smacks one of the four hits he produced for the Angels on Sunday. Twins. Jack Cust and Kevin Kouzmanoff hit back-to-back RBI singles in the first to stake Gonzalez (6-3) to an early 2-0 lead. Ryan Sweeney hit an RBI double in the second and Mark Ellis and Cliff Pennington added RBI singles in the third to chase the Twins’ Nick Blackburn (6-3). Royals 7, Tigers 2 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Brian Bannister won his career-high fifth straight start, Jose Guillen hit a three-run homer and the Royals roughed up Jeremy Bonderman. Bannister (6-3) improved to 20-8 in day games and is 5-2 with a 2.16 ERA in nine starts against the Tigers. He also ended his
streak of allowing a home run at nine consecutive games. White Sox 8, Indians 7 CHICAGO — Paul Konerko hit a tworun homer and Carlos Quentin added a goahead two-run single in the seventh inning to lead the White Sox to a comeback victory. J.J. Putz (1-2) struck out two in a scoreless seventh to get the win, and Bobby Jenks pitched a perfect ninth for his ninth save in 10 chances. Angels 9, Mariners 4 SEATTLE — Mike Napoli had four hits, including a two-run homer that snapped a seventh-inning tie and lifted the Angels.
Twins are banged up Jimenez notches 11th victory for Rockies Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Minnesota second baseman Orlando Hudson is likely headed for the disabled list with his surgically repaired left wrist healing slowly following a collision with Twins teammate Denard Span. Manager Ron Gardenhire and GM Bill Smith were still working to finalize their plan, but told Hudson of the impending move before Sunday’s series finale against the Oakland Athletics. They must make roster room for Michael Cuddyer’s return from the bereavement list Tuesday. The Twins didn’t plan an announcement until then. While Hudson was confident he could be ready in “a few more days,” Gardenhire said he couldn’t afford to wait. The Twins already are short-handed. “He’s the manager,” Hudson said. “He’s got to make the call. It is what it is.”
PHOENIX — Ubaldo Jimenez became the first 11game winner in the majors, though his scoreless innings streak ended after a franchiserecord 33, and the Colorado Rockies held on to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 on Sunday. Jimenez (11-1) blanked the Diamondbacks through seven innings, then gave up just his second home run of the season, a two-run shot by Conor Jack-
son in the eighth. It was Arizona’s first score against the hard-throwing right-hander in 27 innings dating to last August. Dodgers 5, Braves 4, 11 innings LOS ANGELES — A.J. Ellis hit an RBI single in the 11th inning to give Los Angeles a victory over Atlanta and a split of their four-game series. Pinch-hitter Russell Martin drew a leadoff walk from Jesse Chavez (0-0), advanced on Blake DeWitt’s bunt and came home when Ellis stroked a 1-2 pitch to left for his seventh RBI of the
season. Mets 7, Marlins 6 NEW YORK — Jeff Francoeur hit a tying, three-run homer in the seventh inning. Padres 6, Phillies 5, 10 innings PHILADELPHIA — Adrian Gonzalez homered and drove in three runs, Chase Headley had four hits and San Diego beat Philadelphia on pinch-hitter Oscar Salazar’s two-out infield single in the 10th inning. Reds 5, Nationals 4, 10 innings WASHINGTON — Drew Stubbs hit a two-out single in the
10th inning, driving in Jay Bruce. Giants 6, Pirates 5, 10 innings PITTSBURGH — Freddy Sanchez hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning.

King, dated July 26, 2004 and recorded in the Office of the Register of Deeds of Rowan County, North Carolina, recorded on August 2, 2004, in Book 1014 at Page 438; and because of default in the payment of the indebtedness secured thereby and failure to carry out and perform the stipulations and agreements contained therein and, pursuant to demand of the owner and holder of the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, the undersigned Substitute Trustee will place for sale, at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash at the usual place of sale at Rowan County Courthouse, in Salisbury, North Carolina at 1:00 PM on Wednesday, June 16, 2010, that parcel of land, including improvements thereon, situated, lying and being in the City of Salisbury, County of Rowan, State of North Carolina, and being more particularly described as follows:

Milk thistle and hep C Dear Dr. Gott: I am a 60year-old male with hepatitis C. I’m doing as much research as I can on this subject and would like your opinion on milk thistle and its benefits, if any. Dear Reader: There are DR. PETER six hepatitis viruses, A, B, GOTT C, D, E and G, with C commonly considered to be the most serious. All forms attack the liver by causing inflammation that results in that organ’s inability to function normally. With a long-standing diagnosis of hep C, cirrhosis, scarring and even cancer can result. Symptoms may or may not be present in the early stages of the disease. When they do occur, they present with liver tenderness, fatigue, nausea, muscle and/or joint pain and poor appetite. As the disease progresses, low-grade fever and jaundice, a yellowing of the skin, eyes and mucous membranes can result. Common causes include exposure to contaminated blood, such as sharing needles from drug use; the use of contaminated needles for tattooing or body piercing; or receiving a blood transfusion before 1992. Before that date, blood-screening tests were not sophisticated enough to detect the disorder. A woman with the diagnosis can pass the virus on to a newborn. Contrary to some beliefs, hepatitis C isn’t ordinarily trans-
mitted through sexual contact, although in rare instances it can happen. Testing is accomplished through a simple blood analysis. If the results come back positive, a physician might choose to measure the viral load in the blood so the best course of treatment can be decided. He or she may also choose to order a liver biopsy, a procedure in which a small sample of tissue is removed for analysis. While this procedure isn’t vital, it will help determine the severity of the disease and will assist further with treatment options. Most people infected with hep C develop a condition known as chronic hepatitis, and cirrhosis develops in about 20 percent of patients. A positive diagnosis does not mean treatment is necessary. Some people fight off the virus without treatment and without permanent damage. With minor abnormalities detected, a physician may choose to withhold treatment. That is a decision best left to the patient and his or her liver specialist. Standard treatment is weekly injections of a drug called pegylated interferon alfa in combination with oral doses of ribavirin, a broadspectrum antiviral taken twice a day for up to 48 weeks. This combination is up to 80 percent effective in clearing the virus from the bloodstream. Minor side effects of the duo that may improve over time include skin irritation, insomnia, flu-like symptoms and more. End-stage dis-
ease treatment is done through liver transplant. Unfortunately, the number of people on transplant lists far outweighs the number of available livers. On the home front, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, avoiding medications such as acetaminophen and some prescription drugs that may cause liver damage, and reducing alcohol consumption are appropriate first steps. Milk thistle has been used for hundreds of years in Europe as a treatment for jaundice and some liver disorders. It will not cure hepatitis C, nor will it prevent healthy people from contracting the virus. What is known about this over-the-counter product is that silymarin, the primary ingredient, may help heal the liver because it appears to stimulate the production of antioxidant enzymes that neutralize liver toxins and reduce inflammation.

Declarer can play tough too BY PHILLIP ALDER
United Feature Syndicate
For the last two weeks, we have been looking at defensive techniques aimed at either defeating a contract or making declarer guess what to do. Now it is time to show declarer making life hard for the defenders. This most often requires declarer’s playing the least helpful card from his hand, the one that keeps the defenders most uncertain about the lie of that suit. This deal is a textbook example. South is in three no-trump. West leads his fourth-highest club and East puts up the jack. What should declarer do? South’s one-no-trump rebid showed a balanced 12-14 points without a four-card major.
Declarer has six top tricks: four hearts, one diamond and one club (trick one). If the diamond finesse is working, South is in no danger. If, though, West has the diamond king and East the spade ace, the defenders can defeat the contract. To make life as hard as possible for West, declarer must take trick one with the club king: the top of his touching honors. South plays a heart to the board and runs a diamond. It loses, but West doesn’t know whether to continue clubs (playing his partner for the queen) or to shift to the spade six (hoping East has the ace and can push a club through declarer). If West gets it right, South is unlucky. But if declarer wins trick one with the club queen, West should have no problem finding the killing defense. (Declarer’s having
king-queen-doubleton clubs is unlikely.)

‘Shrek Forever After’ leads slow weekend LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hollywood is in a June swoon as a rush of new movies fails to grab audiences. DreamWorks Animation’s “Shrek Forever After” remained the No. 1 movie for a third-straight weekend with $25.3 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. It raised its three-week domestic total to $183 million. “It appears that the family audience is dominating the box office right now, and families clearly want
to see “Shrek,”’ said Anne Globe, head of marketing for DreamWorks Animation. The overall box office tumbled, coming in at $125 million, down 24 percent compared to the same weekend last year, when “The Hangover” opened with $45 million, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com. The best of the newcomers was Universal’s rock ’n’ roll comedy “Get Him to the Greek,” which debuted at No. 2 with $17.4 million. The movie stars Jonah Hill and Russell Brand.

Hunters of men
Bond agents know how to track ’em down BY PEGGY JUDD

roken fingers, dressed in camouflage, lying on the frozen ground for hours. This isn’t a hunting accident. It’s a couple of Rowan County bail bondsmen describing a day’s work. “God grants people different gifts, and my gift is finding someone who doesn’t want to be found,” says Phillip Bradshaw, 50, of Bradshaw Bail Bond Co. in downtown Salisbury. Bradshaw has been licensed since 1995 and works with his wife and another couple, all of whom are licensed bond agents. His father, a deputy sheriff, died when Bradshaw was 11, and family friend Marshall Swaringen became his mentor. Bradshaw later took over Swaringen’s bail bond business. “You can run but you can’t hide” is emblazoned on Bradshaw’s company T-shirts. Bradshaw admits his favorite part of the job is the chase. He’s tracked and captured “bond skips” (a defendant who fails to show up to court after being bailed out of jail) in more than 26 states, the farthest away being northern Washington. Bradshaw has only been involved in half a dozen real fights, and operates on the general principle that “if you treat a person with respect, they will treat you with respect,” but he’s learned a few lessons the hard way. Bradshaw recounts how he captured a bond skip and, to be nice, handcuffed his hands in front of his body instead of behind. He took hold of the handcuffs to take him into custody, at which point the man twisted the chain in an attempt to get away, breaking three of Bradshaw’s fingers. He describes sitting in the woods for hours near a house, waiting for a boy and his teenage girlfriend. They had been arrested for drug possession and had run after Bradshaw had posted the girl’s bail. His patience didn’t pay off that time. The young lovers escaped to
‘My gift is finding someone who doesn’t want to be found,’ says bail bondsman Phillip Bradshaw, shown working in his office. Mexico. It was months before they returned to the states, and Bradshaw was able to bring the girl in. When tracking bond skips, Bradshaw sometimes gets assistance and reinforcement from other bond agents. He’s worked several bond skip cases with Bryce H. Brown, 58, owner of A Bail Bonds, based in China Grove. Licensed since July 1, 1997, Brown works with his wife, who is also a bond agent. When Bradshaw and Brown work together to track a defendant, one might interview a contact while the other watches the people in the room, looking for gestures or facial expressions that could give away clues as to the defendant’s whereabouts. After the interview, the two compare notes. Brown has had 13 years of his own adventures. He has experience as a wrestler and a bar bouncer, and has never been injured during a confrontation with a bond skip. Brown has tracked and captured defendants who have skipped town after he posted $75,000 and $100,000 bond fees. For bond fees this size, Brown works as surety bond agent — a bail bondsman that uses a state insurance company to
underwrite the Plaque on bail fee. If Brown wall of can’t return the Bradshaw’s bond skip within three years, the office, above bond fee is forfeit and Brown is on the hook to repay the insurance company the full amount of the bond. Fortunately for Brown, he’s never been unable to return a bond skip with that large a bond fee. In fact, Brown generally only has to repay 1 percent of the bond fees
NEW ORLEANS — A containment cap was capturing more and more of the crude pouring from a damaged oil well in the Gulf of Mexico, but that bit of hope was tempered Sunday by a sharp dose of pragmatism as the federal government’s point man warned the crisis could stretch into the fall. The inverted funnel-like cap is being closely watched for whether it can make a serious dent in the flow of new oil. Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, overseeing the government’s response to the spill, reserved judgment, saying he didn’t want to risk offering false encouragement. Instead, he warned on CBS’ “Face the Nation” that the battle to contain the oil is likely to stretch into the fall. The cap will trap only so much of the oil, and relief wells being drilled won’t be completed until August. In the meantime, oil will continue to spew out. “But even after that, there will be oil out there for months to come,” Allen said. “This will be well into the fall. This is a siege across the entire Gulf. This spill is holding everybody hostage, not only economically but physically. And it has to be attacked on all fronts,” he said. Since it was placed over the busted well on Thursday, the cap has been siphoning an increasing amount of oil. On Saturday, it funneled about 441,000 gallons to a tanker on the surface, up from about 250,000 gallons it captured Friday. But it’s not clear how much is still escaping from the well that federal authorities at one point estimated was leaking between 500,000 gallons and 1 million gallons a day. Since the spill began nearly seven weeks ago, roughly 23 million to 49 million gallons of oil have leaked into the Gulf. The prospect that the crisis could stretch beyond summer was devastating to residents along the Gulf, who are seeing thicker globs of oil show up in increasing volume all along the coastline. In Ruth Dailey’s condominium in Gulf Shores, Ala., floors already are smeared with dark blotches of oil, she

Team: No more ‘BP’ VIERA, Fla. (AP) — In a protest over the Gulf oil spill, a minor league baseball team is changing the name of batting practice so the players will no longer have to utter the letters “BP.” The Brevard County Manatees of the Florida State League say they will now take “hitting rehearsal.” Players commonly refer to batting practice as “BP,” the same name as the petroleum company responsible for the massive oil spill that is fouling beaches along the Gulf Coast. The Manatees play near Florida’s Atlantic coast, away from the Gulf. said, and things are only going to get worse. “This is just the beginning,” she said. “I have a beachfront condo for a reason. With this, no one will want to come.” Kelcey Forrestier, 23, of New Orleans, said she no longer trusts the word of either BP or the U.S. government in laying out the extent of the spill. But it is clear to Forrestier, just coming in off the water at Okaloosa Island, Fla., that the spill and its damage will last long into the future. “Oil just doesn’t go away. Oil doesn’t disappear,” said Forrestier, who just earned a biology degree. “It has to go somewhere and it’s going to come to the Gulf beaches.”

he first form of bail bondsmen were wealthy landowners or farmers who would post bail for their incarcerated neighbors, pledging with their money that the neighbor would show up for his trial. Today, a bond agent must have a clean criminal background check and good credit to be licensed by the N.C. Department of Insurance.

companies who underwrite the bail fee, though the bond agent is solely responsible for the fee. Many agents carry both titles. In brief, a person who is arrested and has to post bail to be released can enlist the help of a bond agent, or bondsman. The defendant agrees to pay the bondsman a fee up front for his services. The fee for the bail bond is not more than 15 percent of the total bail amount. The client is required to have a third party involved as a co-signer. The bondsman posts the bail fee with the agreement that the fee will be released when the defen-

dant returns to court for trial. U.S. Constitutional law states that when this person is released on bail, he is released into the custody of the bail bondsman, and the bondsman can take him back into custody at any time and return him to the custody of the sheriff. There are seven rules that, if broken, give a bondsman reason to bring a defendant back into custody before the appointed court date. These include leaving the county or state without permission and giving false information about identity or other personal information.

RALEIGH (AP) — The biggest player in the upcoming talks between House and Senate Democrats over their competing versions of North Carolina’s budget won’t be inside the sixth-floor negotiating rooms in the Legislative Office Building. This year, it’s not Gov. Beverly Perdue, equipped with a veto stamp. It’s Congress. If lawmakers on Capitol Hill can’t decide in the next two weeks whether to provide an additional six months of extra Medicaid money to the states next year, their state counterparts in Raleigh will

With no appetite by the General Assembly to raise taxes in an election year and a little cash in reserves, much of the gap would have to be closed through additional spending reductions — increasing pressure between the two chambers as they work through differing convictions on public education priorities, transportation and

Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson made a memorable stop in Salisbury on Oct. 13, 1962, when he was here campaigning for incumbent U.S. Rep. Hugh Alexander. In this photograph, Johnson shakes hands from his limousine with well-wishers outside the Yadkin Hotel, where he spoke to 350 Democrats who paid $5 each for a blue-plate-special lunch. Johnson was flanked at the luncheon’s head table by Gov. Terry Sanford and U.S. Sen. Sam Ervin Jr. Wearing a bright yellow shirt under a chocolate brown suit, Johnson spent 10 hours here that day, signing items, kissing little girls, slapping people on the back and often stopping his car throughout the city to shake hands. After the hotel appearance, he spoke to a large throng of people from the Rowan County Courthouse steps. In less than 14 months, Johnson would be president.
Simple tricks to ease tendonitis all the above in my workouts before this injury happened) excessive downhill running and sports that require rapid starts and stops. Untreated, it can make an athlete more susceptible to stress fractures. Warm up well, run on softer surfaces, avoid major changes in training and ice at first sign of discomfort. I am icing it as we speak. Rest is the most important treatment for shin issues; if you continue activities which will aggravate that muscle, damage to the muscle will incur. Massage is a valuable tool when recuperating from shin issues. Massage can drastically reduce the tightened and fibrotic (scarred) muscle tissue typical in this kind of injury. We have a licensed massage therapist, Travis Alligood, at the J.F. Hurley Family YMCA who would be more than happy to help me and anyone else with the healing process. Icing, taking anti-inflammatory medicine and staying away from the activity that got me in this predicament are my first steps to recovery. This problem arose due to an overuse injury because the muscle and its tendon are not strong enough to handle the workout. The following exercises can help strengthen the tibialis anterior: • Warm up 10 minutes with very light jogging, elliptical or cycling; • Walk on your heels with your toes pointing outward. Take medium length steps and continue un-
Q: I have tibialis anterior tendonitis what can you tell me about it and what can I do to prevent it from coming back? A: I am the one “asking” this question since I just start dealing with this issue a couple of weeks ago. I did a lot of research and found some interesting information that will hopefully help me and ESTER anyone else dealMARSH ing with this recover (quickly) and learn what to do to prevent it from coming back again. The tibialis anterior is the large muscle that runs on the outside of the tibia (shin); its tendon can be felt on the outside of the ankle. When there is pain and tenderness with pressure at the lateral (outside) part of the tibia and pain with ankle dorsiflexion (bringing your toes up) your chance of having tibialis anterior tendonitis is pretty high. Tibialis anterior tendonitis is due to acute inflammation of the tendon of the tibialis anterior muscle and it can be accompanied with swelling and redness in front of the ankle where the tendon is located If you push on the injured tendon you sometimes can feel a “creaking” when you move the foot up and down. The symptoms often arise with overuse of ankle, for example from prolonged running or jumping on a hard surface ( I increased

til you get fatigued in your ankles. At average strength, you should be able to do this for about 2 minutes. Rest for a moment by walking normal and repeat this exercise; • Stand about a foot away from a wall with your back to it and your feet directly below your hips. Lean backward until your buttocks and back touch the wall and then, while keeping your heels on the ground, flex your ankles so that your toes rise as high as possible towards your shins. Let your feet sink back so that they almost touch the ground, and repeat this action 15-20 times (the reps increase over time). On the descent, do not let your feet actually rest on the ground, which would give your tibialis anterior muscles too much of a rest between flexions. Treat the ground as if it was an eggshell, too much pressure would crack it. After a moment’s rest, try a slightly different tibialis-anterior exercise. This time, from the same basic body position, flex your ankles so that your toes go as high as possible, but do not let them move more than an inch towards the floor on the downswing. Quickly move your feet up and down within this one-inch arc for 15-20 repetitions (adding more reps later), and then rest for a moment. Well, I can’t wait to try all these exercises and be ready to run and jump soon. In the meantime, I have added swimming for a great cardio workout and just plain great exercise.

Rep. Larry Kissell, D-8th, was in Afghanistan over the Memorial Day weekend to visit troops, meet with the commander of the International Security Assistance Force, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, and get a briefing by the U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan. According to a press release from Kissell’s office, he received briefings and saw first-hand the military effort, reconstruction projects and training of the Afghan National Army and Afghan National Police. This was Kissell’s third trip to Afghanistan. The congressional delegation included Rep. Martin Heinrich of New Mexico, Rep. Frank Kratovil of Maryland, Rep. John Kline of Minnesota, Rep. Duncan Hunter of California and Rep. David Reichert of Washington. “I was honored to meet and spend some time with our courageous troops serving in Afghanistan, including some from the 8th District,” Kissel said. Kissell’s delegation was the first to visit Kandahar City since the war began, the press release said. Kissell met with the governor of Kandahar Province and the mayor of Kandahar City. The group also visited a police station and a school. Kissell represents parts of the Fort Bragg military installation.

Cycling champs coming to town North Carolina Criterium Championships to be held in Salisbury this weekend BY SHELLEY SMITH
ssmith@salisburypost.com
The North Carolina Criterium Championships will be held in downtown Salisbury this weekend, Friday through Sunday, and downtown businesses and restaurants are joining the races by offering sidewalk dining and extended business hours. The start and finish lines are at the intersections of Lee and Fisher streets and the entire race will be in Salisbury. Charlie Brown, a member of the Carolina Masters cycling team, is helping others plan the weekendlong event and helping kick off the races in a big way Friday night. Brown placed a bid for Salisbury to host the criterium race, which is a short-course race, where cyclists race together in a group. The route extends from Main to Long Street, but encompasses only four blocks. “ Cycling is NASCAR on wheels,” said Neal Boyd, who helped Brown organize the event. “ Cycling and NASCAR mimic each other a lot. Teams have sponsors, race in a short circuit group and Two bikers race from Main Street to the Council Street turn spectators can come right up and during the Historic Salisbury Criterium. Salisbury will play host get personal with the race itself.” Brown said in order to have the to the state Criterium Championships this weekend. Criterium in Salisbury, he had to
have special permitting by the U.S. Cycling Association and the N.C./S.C. Cycling Association. “ Once they approve your permit request then they are the ones responsible providing the championship status,” Brown said. “ They supply the medals and they commission the officials to be on site to make sure it’s a properly organized and run event.” Only N.C. registered racers are eligible to receive the status of state champion, Brown said, but out-ofstate racers will come for the purse of top finisher. “ People from around the region will be here racing, predominantly amateur cyclists from all across the state, for the weekend,” Boyd said. The races Friday night will be category races, and Saturday will be age-graded races. Spectators can expect to hear live music by The Chobey Badgio Band from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Friday, and there will be several vendors such as Bolle and BH Bikes. For children, several inflatable bounce houses will be at the start and finish lines, and area restaurants will be offering outdoor seating for a VIP view of the races.
RALEIGH — The N.C. Department of Transportation and Amtrak took train travel in North Carolina another step forward Saturday when new midday service began between Raleigh and Charlotte, increasing the state-sponsored passenger rail service to six trains daily between its two largest cities. Saturday’s service launch added two additional trains in the midday, giving business travelers, families and college students more options to travel via rail. The new service is expected to attract 43,000 new passengers in its first year of operation. “ Riding the train is a safe, environmentally-friendly and economical way to travel,” said State Transportation Secretary Gene Conti. “ We are excited to bring increased train service to our citizens.” Amtrak President and CEO Joseph Boardman added, “ The launch of these two additional trains demonstrates the strong partnership between Amtrak and the state to provide more passenger rail transportation alternatives for the residents of North Carolina.” To entice travelers to enjoy the service, North Carolina’s Amtrak is offering a 40 percent discount off adult fares on all Piedmont trains for travel throughout the entire month of June. The new midday trains build upon the existing Piedmont service, which now operates morning and evening trains between Raleigh and Charlotte, a trip that is auto competitive at 3 hours and 12 minutes, with intermediate stops at Cary, Durham, Burlington, Greensboro, High Point, Salisbury and Kannapolis. The newly refurbished Piedmont train cars are equipped with snack and beverage vending machines, and a limited number of bike racks.

Spectator guide • A criterium, or crit, is a high speed,
intense, bike race held on a short closed-off city street loop. • Race length is determined by using a combination of time, laps and race category. • Race times generally range from 30 to 60 minutes. • Races are held in a variety of categories. Men and women categories range from Cat 1 (professional) to Cat 5 (entry level). An individual racer moves up the category rankings by gaining points and experience in their current category. Races can also be held using a combination of age and category. • Success in a criterium can depend on a variety of factors — the strongest rider does not always win. Winning requires a mix of good bike handling skills, experience, strength, willingness to suffer and teamwork. Much like auto racing, drafting plays a big part in bicycle racing. The racer tucked into the slipstream of another racer is using about 30 percent less energy than the racer that is “ in the wind.”

The LandTrust for Central North Carolina held its annual membership meeting at Dunn’s Mountain Park on Thursday. About 60 members, guests and friends gathered to listen to a brief presentation by LandTrust staff and board president Dyke Messinger, followed by a barbecue dinner provided by Rowan County Barbecue Festival champion Keith “ Smokey” Lane and a sunset hike led by Rowan County Parks & Recreation Department employee Bob Pendergrass. “ Our phones are ringing off the hook,” LandTrust executive director Jason Walser told the crowd. “ The opportunities for land conservation in our region have never been greater, but due to the recession, state and federal funding for conservation is at its lowest point of the last ten years. That’s why your continued support is so important.” Walser reviewed several projects the LandTrust completed during the last year, including a hardwood forest restoration project in western Rowan County, acquisition of a critical 245acre conservation tract at the intersec-

t seems we’re in the heart of the summer grilling season, just past Memorial Day with the Fourth of July on the horizon. A question that’s always fun to answer is, “What do the grades ‘Choice’ or ‘Select’ on this package of steak represent? Does it have anything to do with the animal being inspected?” The terms, “ Prime, Choice, Select and Standard” represent U.S. Department of Agriculture quality grades for beef cattle that are “ A” maturity (approximately 9-30 months of age) and “ B” maturity (30-42
months of age). Quality grades reflect the expected eating characteristics — tenderness, juiciness and flavor — of the cooked product. USDA beef quality grades are primarily determined from carcass maturity and BRAD the amount and JOHNSON distribution of fat within the ribeye muscle, better known as marbling. More on quality grades

Grading for quality is voluntary and the service is requested and paid for by meat and poultry producers/processors. For meat and poultry producers/processors it is “ valueadded” to their product. A diner determines a piece of meat’s palatability and their overall eating satisfaction from the meat’s flavor, juiciness and

2010 Family Rail Days Festival begins Saturday SPENCER — The N.C. Transportation Museum’s 2010 Family Rail Days Festival, set for Saturday and Sunday, will celebrate the golden age of railroading and offer something for every member of the family. Featuring historic locomotives and rail cars displayed alongside modern rail equipment, the event will give visitors a chance to enjoy train rides, great music, model train layouts and a model train expo. This year’s 2010 Family Rail Days will be held in association with 2nd Saturdays, a partnership between State Historic Sites and the N.C. Arts Council. Artists will be given the opportunity to show and sell their work Saturday. Poetry, music, painting, drawing, photography and more will be offered. Visitors to the festival will have numerous chances to ride the rails. Boarding at the pedestrian crossing, the passenger train will offer a 25 minute ride around the museum property on classic rail cars pulled by vintage diesel locomotives. The caboose train, boarding at the Barber Junction Visitor’s Center, gives everyone a chance to ride in their favorite train car. At the Roundhouse, motor car rides will be offered, giving visitors a chance to ride these smaller pieces of rail equipment used to repair tracks. An up-close view of the N.C. Transportation Museum’s classic steam and diesel locomotives will be available during the Parade of Power. The Parade of Power takes place at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday. Turntable rides will be of-
fered throughout the festival. Families can take a spin and get a closer look at how the Spencer Shops operated during the good ol’ days. While train rides and views of railroad equipment are always exciting, visitors will also be able to see railroading on a far smaller scale. The North Raleigh Model Railroad Club and the Atlantic Coast SGaugers will set up in the Bob Julian Roundhouse throughout the event. Rail Days is also home to a huge model railroading show, also in the Roundhouse, with vendors providing all types of model locomotives, train cars, model railroading supplies and accessories. Special activities will include a Model Train Play Table, coloring in the Roundhouse, take-home crafts and the Operation Lifesaver Booth, which teaches kids and adults about railroad safety. Tickets are $12 each, with discounts available for museum members. Tickets entitle visitors to unlimited train rides and all the sights and sounds around the museum. Saturday train rides take place every 45 minutes between 9:15 a.m. and 12:45 p.m., then resume every 45 minutes between 2:15 p.m. and 5:15 p.m. Sunday train rides take place every 45 minutes between 9:15 a.m. and 12:45 and every 45 minutes between 12:45 and 3:45 p.m. The N.C. Transportation Museum, located in historic Spencer Shops, the former Southern Railway repair facility is located just five minutes off I-85 at Exit 79 in Spencer.

Moms host bake sale to raise funds for cancer research KANNAPOLIS — A moms group will host a bake sale as part of Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, a nonprofit organization that raises money to support pediatric cancer research. CentralPiedmontMommies.com, a free online community for moms in Rowan, Cabarrus and Stanly counties, will host the sale from 10 a.m. to noon June 19 at the Kannapolis Walmart, 2420 Supercenter Drive NE. The first Cookies for Kids’ Cancer bake sale was held in December 2007, when the mother of a young child with cancer decided to sell 96,000 cookies to raise money for the development of new and improved cancer treatments. With the help of more than 250 volunteers, all 96,000 cookies were baked and sold in three weeks, raising more than $400,000. Bake sales have continued ever since across the country. Cancer kills more children every year than any other disease. Nearly 13,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year. Part of the Mommies Network, CentralPiedmontMommies.com offers a way for local moms to connect for friendship, support and fun. Members meet online in private discussion forums to
share information about raising kids. The group also offers face-to-face events for members and their families.

mal has a direct effect on tenderness of the meat it produces. As cattle mature, their meat becomes progressively tougher. To account for the effects of the maturity process on beef tenderness, evaluations of carcass maturity are used in determining USDA beef quality grades. As mentioned above, “ A” maturity cattle are approximately 9-30 months of age, and “ B” maturity are approximately 30 to 42 months of age, while “ C” maturity are 42-72 months of age, “ D” maturity are 72-96 months of age and “E” maturity are more than 96 months of age. Cattle with “ C,” “ D” and “ E” maturity are not eligible to receive the USDA quality grades of Prime-Standard. They only qualify for commercial, utility and cutter. Within a maturity group, marbling within the ribeye muscle is the primary de-
terminant of USDA quality grade. Visual evaluation or electronically scanning the ribeye to determine the amount of marbling is conducted by a professional USDA grader. The degree of marbling within the ribeye correlates to a USDA Quality Grade. For example, an “A” maturity ribeye found to have Abundant marbling has a USDA quality grade of Prime Plus, while an “A” maturity ribeye with Small marbling has a USDA quality grade of Low Choice. The following are the USDA quality grades for “A” and “B” maturity carcasses and the corresponding degree of marbling: prime plus, abundant; average prime, moderately abundant; low prime, slightly abundant; choice plus, moderate; average choice, modest; low choice, small; select plus, slight 50-100; low select, slight 00-50; standard plus, traces; and low standard, practically devoid.

tion of the Uwharrie and Pee Dee rivers and the permanent conservation of a 60-acre buffer on Lake Fisher, the drinking water supply for the city of Concord. “ We have one of the best land trusts in the state in Salisbury,” Messinger told the crowd. “ We want to thank you and all of our members for helping us conserve over 18,000 acres in our service region, and ask you to help us continue our mission with your financial support through these difficult economic times.” Dunn’s Mountain is the most recent public park addition to the Rowan County Parks & Recreation Department. The LandTrust acquired the park from a private owner and gave the
property to the county, and the park was open to the public in 2007. Pendergrass, who also serves as the director of Rowan Wildlife Adventures at Dan Nicholas Park, gave the group a guided tour of the park focusing on the mountain’s natural and cultural history. Pendergrass described the quarrying operations that once occurred at the site and the mountain’s history as a tourist destination and gathering place for Rowan County residents. “ There are many plants and trees at Dunn’s Mountain that can’t be found anywhere else in Rowan County,” said Pendergrass. “ That’s why conservation of this site was so important.” Membership information for The LandTrust is available online at www.landtrustcnc. org, or by calling 704-6470302.
that only 2.9 percent of beef graded USDA prime, while just over 19 percent graded average and high choice. Much of the beef in these categories, especially in the “ prime” grades, is purchased by “ white table cloth” restaurants. The majority of carcasses range between USDA Low Choice (35 percent) and USDA Select (almost 37 percent).

Bedding danger found in many of the state’s SIDS cases soft bedding or sleeping with an adult or other child. Another 135 deaths didn’t have enough information for reporters to come to a conclusion. Many states and local governments are moving away from blaming SIDS for infant deaths, often citing suffocation when there is some evidence soft bedding, stuffed animals, or being pressed against an adult while asleep led to the death. But North Carolina Chief Medical Examiner John Butts won’t adopt the changes. Without strong evidence of another cause, he labels cases SIDS and said the movement away from the diagnosis unfairly puts suspicion on parents or caretakers already facing awful grief. “One of the principles of medicine is first, do no harm,” Butts told the Charlotte newspaper. “When we assign a death to asphyxiation, we’re saying that the family’s action killed that child. ... That’s a terrible bur-
den to put on a family when you have no degree of certainty that that happened.” Jurisdictions that have changed their methods to move away from classifying deaths as SIDS haven’t seen a reduction in child death rates, Butts said. “It’s great fashion to fix things by changing the name. So call it something else,” Butts said. “Does it fix anything?” Scientists are still trying to figure out SIDS, said Dr. Patrick Lantz, a medical examiner in Winston-Salem who does autopsies for the state. Research makes it vital to

In addition, educators and guidance counselors are encouraged to nominate students. Completed applications must be submitted to Kissell’s Concord district office by July 10. For more information, contact Mallory Morris at 704786-1612.

Medical examiners in North Carolina often face another problem trying to distinguish SIDS deaths from suffocation on bedding and other items. Police investigating child deaths aren’t required to fill out a checklist for the doctor conducting an autopsy that includes detailed information on the circumstances surrounding the incident. Instead, the pathologist may only get the name, time, address or similar information surrounding the death. An autopsy alone usually can’t distinguish between SIDS and suffocation, meaning evidence from the scene

is vital to determine the cause of death. And the lack of evidence can also frustrate law enforcement. The newspaper found investigators in Alamance and Gaston counties recently dropped efforts to file criminal charges in two cases after medical examiners linked the babies’ deaths to SIDS, even though in both cases, the families had more than one baby who died while sleeping. “When it comes to the point it’s a SIDS case, your investigation is pretty much closed,” Alamance County Detective Bobby Baldwin said. “It crushed me.”

Kissell forms youth council CONCORD — U.S. Rep. Larry Kissell (NC-8th) has formed a youth council designed to teach students in the Eighth District about government and encourage them to get involved in public service. The Congressional Youth Council is open to young people between the ages of 14 and 19. Students will have the opportunity to learn more about government, the processes involved with shaping public policy and advise Kissell on issues important to the youth of the Eighth District. “As a former social studies teacher, I believe it is imperative to get our young people involved in their government and to allow them to see how
assure SIDS deaths don’t get mixed in with deaths that could have been prevented with safe sleeping practices. “That’s for research into why these babies are dying,” Lantz said. If all the risk factors are mixed up under one name, “you’ll never figure it out,” he said. Dr. Ljubisa Dragovic rarely uses the SIDS diagnosis in her job as chief medical examiner in Michigan’s Oakland County. “SIDS has been used as an easy option,” Dragovic said “It has had a catastrophic effect. Every year babies die of preventable causes.”

CHARLOTTE (AP) — North Carolina reported a sharp jump in the number of infants dying from sudden infant death syndrome, even though two-thirds of the autopsies on those babies listed risk factors for suffocation including unsafe bedding or sleeping with other people. An investigation published Sunday by The Charlotte Observer found that if SIDS is being diagnosed too often, it could mask crimes against children and hide instances of children being put to sleep in unsafe cribs. North Carolina reported 136 deaths from SIDS in 2008, a 37 percent increase from 2007, with the spike coming in the same year total infant deaths fell by 5 percent. The newspaper reviewed 554 autopsies from babies who died from SIDS from 2004 to 2008 and found only 25 infants were apparently sleeping safely, on their backs in their own cribs. More than 380 deaths had at least one unsafe factor, like

Surging costs hit food security in poorer nations “I am afraid that I will wake up one day and not able to get enough bread for my 12-member family” ABOULELLA MOUSSA
doorman in Cairo
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Vendors and customers occupy a wholesale fruit and vegetable market in Islamabad, Pakistan. Across the developing world, families from Pakistan to Argentina to Congo are being battered by a double-digit surge in food costs that is fueling political tensions and forcing some to give up eating meat, fruit and even basics such as tomatoes. Families from Pakistan to Argentina to Congo are being battered by surging food prices that are dragging more people into poverty, fueling political tensions and forcing some to give up eating meat, fruit and even tomatoes. Scraping to afford the next meal is still a grim daily reality in the developing world even though the global food crisis that dominated headlines in 2008 quickly faded in the U.S. and other rich countries. With food costing up to 70 percent of family income in the poorest countries, rising prices are squeezing household budgets and threatening to worsen malnutrition, while inflation stays moderate in the United States and Europe. Compounding the problem in many countries: prices hardly fell from their peaks in 2008,
when global food prices jumped in part due to a smaller U.S. wheat harvest and demand for crops to use in biofuels. Majeedan Begum, a Pakistani mother of five, said a bag of flour for bread, the staple of her family’s diet, costs three times what it did two years ago in her hometown of Multan. She can no longer afford meat or fruit. “My domestic budget has been ruined,” said Begum, 35. The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization’s food price index — which includes grains, meat, dairy and other items in 90 countries — was up 22 percent in March from a year earlier though still below 2008 levels. In some Asian markets, rice and wheat prices are 20 to 70 percent above 2008 levels, it says. Many governments blame dry weather and high fuel
Stock analysts see choppy trading NEW YORK (AP) — Jobs are hard to come by, debt problems are hobbling several European countries and oil is spreading across the Gulf of Mexico. With news like that, it’s hard to see how the stock market can pull out of its slump. Many traders expect the market to keep falling, especially with no obvious catalysts to stop its six-week slide. But some pros predict that stocks will end the year higher. Here’s what could make the market stabilize and turn around: Traders should get an initial sense in the coming months of whether cost cuts by Europe’s debt-strapped governments will, as many investors fear, slow the global economic rebound. They’ll also get a better idea of what the financial overhaul bill being finalized in Congress will mean for bank profits. The market should have a sense of the economic fallout from the oil spill. And investors will be getting more economic numbers to determine whether the U.S. recovery is continuing. Still, a comeback won’t be easy, as Friday’s stock plunge showed. The Dow Jones industrials fell 323 points to a fourmonth low after the government’s May jobs report missed expectations and more questions arose about Europe. The Dow is now down 11.4 percent from its 2010 peak of 11,205, which it reached April 26. That means it’s back in a “correction,” a drop of more than 10 percent from a recent high. Many analysts predict that trading will remain choppy while investors wait for answers about the economy. Here is what some are saying:
dard & Poor’s 500 index to climb about 3 percent to 5 percent by year-end. Based on where the market stood before Friday’s swoon, that would put the S&P 500 at about 1,136 to 1,158. That’s still 5 percent to 7 percent below its 2010 high. On Friday, it ended at 1,065. WHAT HE SEES: Silvia dismisses some of the more pessimistic forecasts that a weak job market and spending cuts in Europe will short-circuit a global recovery and push the economy down again. “No way. This is not consistent with a ’double-dip”’ recession,” he said. Silvia said Europe’s problems will be an obstacle for American companies that do business there. But a weaker Europe won’t destroy U.S. companies’ profits, as some traders have feared. “Everything is moving in the right direction. It’s just not moving as fast as they want to see,” he said. “They want black and white and you’ve got gray.”
Anthony Chan, chief economist at J.P. Morgan Private Wealth Management in New York
WHAT HE EXPECTS: A gain of 6 percent to 9 percent in the S&P 500 by year-end. Excluding Friday’s drop, that would put it at 1,182 to 1,215. WHAT HE SEES: “It will be choppy for a good part of the year until we get more clarity on the European situation,” he said. “That’s the major thing that is holding us back because if you look at the U.S. fundamentals, they don’t really look that far out of hand.” Chan said the U.S. economic numbers still look promising.

costs but critics in countries such as India, Argentina and Egypt say misguided policies are making shortages worse and collusion by suppliers might be pushing up prices. No single factor explains the inflation gap between developing and developed countries but poorer economies are more vulnerable to an array of problems that can push up prices, and many are cropping up this year. Farmers with less land and irrigation are hit harder by drought and floods. Civil war and other conflicts can disrupt supplies. Prices in import-dependent economies spike up when the local currency weakens, as Pakistan’s rupee has this year. Costs also have been pushed up by a rebound in global commodity prices, especially for soy destined for Asian consumption. That has
prompted a shift in Argentina and elsewhere to produce more for export, which has led to local shortages of beef and other food. The global financial crisis hurt food production in some countries by making it harder for farmers to get credit for seed and supplies. In Mauritania in West Africa, rice prices doubled over the first three months of the year, according to the World Food Program. Over the same period, the price of corn rose 59 percent in Zimbabwe and 57 percent in neighboring Mozambique. In Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mami Monga pays $25 for a box of fish that cost $10 a year ago. The price of a 25-kilogram bag of rice has doubled to $30. “Today I am obliged to buy half the food I used to buy midlast year,” said Mami, a mother of five.
who is raising three children in New Delhi with her husband on his 6,000-rupee ($135) monthly income as a driver. Valmiki can no longer afford meat, fruit or fish and has put off buying her children new school uniforms, toys and a bicycle. “If we buy them fruit, we can’t buy them food” like rice, dal and vegetables, she said. In China, food costs rose 5.9 percent in April over a year ago — a modest rate for a country that suffered 20 percent-plus inflation in 2008. But it was enough to prompt the communist government to try to reassure the public with pledges that prices will ease as the spring harvest comes in. It also threatened to punish price gouging in a new effort to cool inflation. Even in moderately prosperous nations such as Venezuela, shoppers say they can no longer afford meat and scour markets for bargains. In Argentina, soy production has taken over more than 32 million acres (13 million hectares) of grassland once used to raise cattle and replaced less profitable wheat and corn as well, driving up prices in supermarkets. Argentina’s government has responded with higher taxes, export limits, controls on supermarket prices of meat, wheat and corn, subsidies to food producers and pay hikes of 30 percent for union workers. The moves have temporarily eased the pain but beef producers have thinned their herds in response to government intervention and the price of meat has doubled in the last year. “Before, we would eat meat three times a week. Now it’s once, with luck,” said Marta Esposito, a 45-year-old mother of two in Buenos Aires. “Tomatoes, don’t even talk about it. We eat whatever is the cheapest.”

Kinshasa shopkeeper Abedi Patelli said prices rise when the exchange rate of Congo’s currency falls. “But when our currency improves against the U.S. dollar, prices don’t fall,” he said. “They remain steady.” WFP spokesman Greg Barrow said poorer countries can suffer a “ratchet effect” that locks in price rises due to high transportation costs and limited competition. “Prices dropped fairly dramatically toward the end of 2008 on international markets but we found prices remained relatively high in many local markets in developing countries,” said Barrow. After the cost of food rises, “it tends to take a long time to go down,” he said. The FAO said the double blow of the global recession and high food prices has pushed 100 million people into poverty. Opposition parties have organized protests in Pakistan. In Egypt, a 50 percent jump in meat prices in recent weeks has helped to fuel demonstrations outside parliament over wages and other economic issues. “I am afraid that I will wake up one day and not able to get enough bread for my 12-member family,” said Aboulella Moussa, a doorman at a Cairo apartment building. People interviewed in a number of countries said they are coping not just by cutting out expensive items but by eating less — a trend that has stirred concern about malnutrition. In the 2008 inflation spike, WFP found families in some countries skipped meals or switched to eating corn husks or other low-quality produce. “Over the long term, this would lead to the effects of chronic malnutrition,” Barrow said. “It’s expensive, so we eat less,” said Seema Valmiki, 35,

Freeway closed after bear wanders in lanes in Los Angeles County LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Southern California freeway was briefly shut down while state wildlife officials tried to remove a bear that wandered into lanes. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Lt. Kerry Carter says the adult black bear was spotted just after midnight Sunday on surface streets near the Foothill Freeway in Duarte. The animal later walked onto the freeway, which was closed for about a half hour. Fish and Game Department workers were eventually able to corner the bear in a flood control channel, where they tranquilized it with a dart gun. The bear, estimated at 250 pounds, was taken to a remote forest area for release. Duarte is about 20 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles in the San Gabriel Valley.

pain while they tried to ease the burden on the public schools. “There had to be a haircut somewhere in the education budget,” said Rep. Ray Rapp, D-Madison, an education budget subcommittee cochairman. The House earmarked $126 million in North Carolina Education Lottery profits to pay for teacher salaries in early grades Democrats said would preserve more than 1,600 positions. The Senate shifted around $36 million in lottery funds. Perdue, a fellow Democrat who would be asked to sign any budget bill into law, already had discomfort with the Senate’s lottery distribution changes. She also may be unhappy because lawmakers failed to give her the $39 million she wanted to better evaluate students through handheld computers. The Senate provided $15 million. The House gave nothing. The two sides also will have to work through whether to create a new transportation project fund sought by Perdue; how to reform the Medicaid programs that assist athome patients with bathing and cooking; and how much to give to community mental health programs. Holliman, in sizing up competing House and Senate plans to provide tax breaks to small businesses, summed up the outcome lawmakers must find if they want to pass a budget on time for a change. “I think you’ll see middle ground,” Holliman said.

are drawing them up expecting the additional funds, according to research from the National Conference of State Legislatures. Rep. Mickey Michaux, DDurham, senior co-chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, wants any additional spending cuts caused by the lost Medicaid money to avoid items the state House and Senate budget bills already agree upon to avoid delays. “If we have to go and reopen this budget, we could be here much longer than you or I want to be here,” Michaux told colleagues. The Medicaid flap carries a shadow upon negotiations that otherwise should turn on whether the University of North Carolina system will take the brunt of spending cuts to reduce the budget by as much as 3.5 percent compared with the state spending plan already in place for next year. The House plan would direct the University of North Carolina system to find another $147 million in spending cuts on top of $100 million already required for next year, which with other cuts could mean the loss of 1,700 positions. The Senate protected the system’s 17 campuses better, requiring only an additional $50 million cut. “Their budget was dramatically different for the universities,” Nesbitt said.

health care. “We’ll have to make some drastic cuts,” said House Majority Leader Hugh Holliman, D-Davidson, as his chamber was about to give final approval to its $18.9 billion budget early Friday morning. “We’re already in great consternation trying to do the cuts we’re doing. If we have to go back do another $500 million, it’s going to be brutal.” The slow wheels of Washington also could delay the breakneck pace legislative budget-writers have taken to complete their budget adjustments by the time the new fiscal year begins July 1 — something they haven’t done since 2003. Both budget proposals use the extra Medicaid money to balance their plans. “We’ll have to go back in and find a way to do it,” said Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe, Holliman’s Senate counterpart. “We would all want to balance our budget appropriately before we stop.” Congress has been working on a jobless benefits package extension that appeared headed to contain $24 billion in extra Medicaid money by keeping a more generous matching formula in place through June 2011. But state legislators nationwide got worried last week after the House approved a pared-down plan that deleted the Medicaid money. Nesbitt, the new Senate majority leader, said it was appropriate to count on the money in the Senate budget approved May 20 because both houses of Congress initially agreed to it. Now he’s not sure what will happen. North Carolina is one of more than 30 states that already approved budgets or

and both may even offer a reward for information leading to a capture. When it comes to the physical seizure of a fugitive, they are reinforced with other bond agents, the element of surprise and protection: pepper spray, steel batons and Tasers (“as a last resort,” says Brown). They both also have concealed weapon permits. The bond skips most likely to get away? Brown says they are the middle-aged men who have an alcohol problem, grown kids and are not married. They have no roots that they acknowledge; their alcohol problems make it difficult to maintain steady jobs or relationships. They have no responsibilities, no bills, no car and no permanent address. In short, they are hard to find if they run. Bradshaw’s office currently has 14 bond skips. Brown says he consistent-

that he posts. Brown has his own strategy for returning defendants who run. When one of his clients turns fugitive, he allows a month to pass, giving the local law enforcement time to bring the defendant in with the arrest warrant that is automatically filed after a failure to appear in court. After that time has passed, Brown begins his investigation and tracking. He has traveled as far as Wisconsin to seize a fugitive, but says the most common hiding places he has found are in Florida and Myrtle Beach. Brown said that the key to finding a bond skip is to take away any hiding places the defendant may use, and any safe places. Brown investigates the parent’s house, the girlfriend’s apartment or the convenience store where a bond skip buys cigarettes. The circuit gets smaller and smaller until the fugitive has nowhere left to hide. Offering a reward encourages a contact to turn in the bond skip, further exposing him. When chasing a bond skip, Brown and Bradshaw try to put as many factors in their favor as possible. Bradshaw is also a licensed private investigator. They share information with the local police and sheriff’s departments,
ly has 12 bond skips of his own. “We clean some up and then we get new ones,” he said. Bradshaw is an equal opportunity bondsman with one exception: He won’t post bail for someone who has previously broken a bond fee contract. Brown will not issue a bail bond to a person who has had previous DWI citations. “DWI and other habitual criminals won’t take responsibility for their own actions,” Brown said. Bradshaw and Brown both said they have good relationships with local law enforcement. “We are part of the court system. We are all on the same side,” said Bradshaw. Brown jokingly said that the “public opinion of bail bondsmen falls somewhere between prostitute and used car salesman.” He continued, very seriously, saying, “We provide a valuable service to the courts and community by ensuring our clients are available or returned to court for trial. A lot of people think that bail bonding is free money because they only see the best part — that’s when they hand me a bond fee.

Tornado kills at least 7, leaves path of destruction
Potential terrorists arrested before flights ELMWOOD PARK, N.J. (AP) — Two New Jersey men who envisioned a terrorist attack in the U.S. with a body count twice that of the Fort Hood massacre were arrested at a gate New York’s Kennedy Airport as they were about to board flights on their way to Somalia to seek terror training from al-Qaida-affiliated jihadists, officials said. Mohamed Mahmood Alessa, 20, and Carlos Eduardo Almonte, 26, were arrested Saturday before they could board separate flights to Egypt and then continue on to Somalia, federal officials in New Jersey and the New York
Police Department said. Law enforcement became aware of the men in the fall of 2006, after receiving a tip. New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said they had traveled to Jordan in 2007 and tried to get into Iraq, but were turned back by their would-be recruiters. Since then, during the lengthy investigation, an NYPD undercover officer recorded conversations with the men in which they spoke about jihad against Americans. “I leave this time. God willing, I never come back,” authorities say Alessa told the officer last year. “Only way I would come back here is if I was in the land of jihad and the leader ordered me to come back here and do something here. Ah, I love that.”
political instability in Lebanon have forced thousands to flee the region. A working paper released during Pope Benedict XVI’s pilgrimage to Cyprus to prepare for a crisis summit of Middle East bishops in Rome in October also cites the “extremist current” unleashed by the rise of “political Islam” as a threat to Christians. The paper said that the line between religion and politics is blurred in Muslim countries, “relegating Christians to the precarious position of being considered non-citizens, despite the fact that they were citizens of their countries long before the rise of Islam.” “The key to harmonious living between Christians and Muslims is to recognize religious freedom and human rights,” it said.

BAGHDAD (AP) — A car bomb exploded outside a Baghdad police station Sunday in the deadliest of a pair of attacks that killed six people in the Iraqi capital, security and hospital officials said.
Recently, I read an online poll that asked, “Do you scrimp in some areas of spending so you can afford luxuries in others?” The possible responses were everything from “yes” to “no,” with “what are luxuries?” and “I save every way I can” somewhere in the middle. At first, I assumed luxuries meant MARY things such as HUNT massages and spa services, dinners out at nice restaurants and weekend vacations. I thought of luxuries as self-indulgent activities and material possessions. Who wouldn’t enjoy those kinds of things? Then my mind shifted, and I began to create a new list of luxuries. My list contains things that money cannot buy but debt can destroy: The luxury of freedom. I enjoy freedom from debt, freedom from worrying about whether I have enough money to pay the bills and buy the groceries. I remember back in my dark financial past when debt turned me into a slave. MasterCard and Visa owned my soul. Because I’d trusted them to make my life happy, I worked for them to repay my debt. The borrower becomes a slave to the lender. Never forget that. Breaking out of the debt trap has given me the luxury of freedom. The luxury of space. I love clean, open space in my home and my office. I struggle with that. It’s a constant battle not to allow stuff to fill the space. When I succeed, I feel an enormous sense of comfort
that gives me room to breathe, relax and enjoy a calm and peaceful environment. It is pure luxury! The luxury of time. I battle filling my life with too many activities and deadlines and with responsibility. Carving out free time to spend with my husband, children and grandson requires serious commitment. It takes time to develop and maintain relationships. Time is so finite. We get only 24 hours each day. Keeping some of that time for the things that mean the most to me is what I call luxury. I won’t try to convince you that I do not like nice things. I love fine bed linens and leather handbags. A fabulous weekend away is not something I would turn down. But when I look at the big picture of my life, they are low on my list of luxuries. I’d take being debt-free over a shiny new car any day. I’d opt for time with the people I love over finding a way to cough up hundreds of dollars for a leather handbag. I never did complete that poll. I needed an option that said “none of the above.” As frugal as I might be, I have learned to enjoy the most luxurious life I ever could imagine. I don’t have to scrimp or feel deprived because every day, I get to enjoy the luxuries of freedom, space and time. To me, that’s living well!

TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) — A man who tried to repossess a riding lawnmower from a couple on Wednesday faces felony charges of attempted grand theft and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Police said the 37-year-old Idaho man cooked up a plan to have two men he hired tell the woman using the mower that they had hit her pickup. When the woman went into the house to tell her husband, the suspect hopped on the lawnmower and started driving away. The suspect told police he stopped when he noticed that the mower had the wrong serial number. He told police that he feared for his life after he was confronted by the woman’s husband and pulled out his gun. The man told police that he is the owner of an auto sales business and had repossessed cars in the past.

DEAR TERRIFIED: I realize that therapists are capable of creating or perpetuating dysfunction in their own lives, but give me a moment to process this. Heh, heh, heh. OK. I’m better now. These dogs’ status as “family members” should not grant them an automatic presence in the office. Many people who work in
offices have family members — actual children, for instance — who don’t get to come to work. However, I know a therapist who took her yellow Labrador to the office each day and this lovely dog was definitely an important part of her work. Animals can have an extremely positive effect on people, but if this particular dog is frightening people, it’s obviously not working out. Your partners should apply some of the practices you counsel people to use in their lives — that is, stating the truth with clarity, expressing your views respectfully, creating boundaries and mediating solutions. If you can’t find a workable solution, perhaps an uninvolved party could mediate this with you.

MILLBURY, Ohio (AP) — A tornado unleashed a “war zone” of destruction in northwest Ohio, destroying dozens of homes and an emergency services building as a line of storms killed at least seven people and threatened to do more damage Sunday as it hit the Northeast. Storms collapsed a movietheater roof in Illinois and ripped siding off a building at a Michigan nuclear plant, forcing a shutdown. But most of the worst was reserved for a 100-yard-wide, 7-mile-long strip southeast of Toledo now littered with wrecked vehicles, splintered wood and family possessions. The tornado ripped the roof and back wall off Lake High School’s gymnasium about 11 p.m. Saturday, several hours before the graduation ceremony was supposed to begin there. The school board president said one of the victims was the father of the class valedictorian. Two buses were tossed on their sides and another was thrown about 50 yards, landing on its top near the high school’s football field. More than 10 hours later, its right

Let’s be honest, here. Most of us are quick to criticize our local gas stations because Salisbury has higher gas prices than surrounding areas, and when prices seem to spike quickly over the smallest thing. Salisbury gas stations are the first to go up, and the last to come down in our eyes. We’re quick to declare that the gas station owners in Salisbury are in cahoots to price gouge all of us, and I am one of the first to jump on this bandwagon. That being said, when the pendulum swings the other way, we say very little. This time I am going to give credit where credit is due. As I write this, the average price for gas in the state of North Carolina is $2.62. In the Charlotte area, the average price is $2.69. Out of the many gas stations I pass this morning, most stations were selling gas for $2.52. These were chain gas stations like Wilco, Shell, and BP that were so cheap. Even with the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Salisbury’s gas prices have dropped to the point that they are well below the state and Charlotte metro averages. Granted, gas is still a bit cheaper north of here (Greensboro’s average was $2.51), but this is still a positive change from Salisbury’s norm of high gas prices compared to our neighbors! — Eric Shock

City has targeted my business Regarding the city of Salisbury’s enforcement of code violations at Southern Motors: It is with shame and disgust that I write concerning the issues associated with my business, Southern Motors, at 1605 S. Main Street. Going back more in particular to 1994 and continuing since, the city of Salisbury and its stakeholders have launched an assault on my family, my customers and even my health. I’m now on oxygen from the stress of having to deal with all that has happened. The time has long passed for these people to come out of the closet. Their actions have been described as “in the best interests of city government.” But I know better; the fact of the matter is that it was for the best interests of a few stakeholders of city government.

Regarding Dale McFeatter’s article in the May 30 paper (“GOP may want to hit delete on some ideas”): McFeatters miswrote in his article. Congressional Republicans have presented solid ideas in the form of at least eight House bills to reduce spending — $1.3 trillion in spending cuts over 10 years. He also addresses a tool presented to the American people to let their congressmen know their concerns. Recently, a congressman (Democrat) from Texas introduced the same type of website for the Democrats. Apparently, the Democratic Party is trying to fill their “vacuum bereft of valid ideas.” The house bills addressing spending are HR 3140, 3964, 3298, 5348, 1294, 4889, 4653 and 393. HR 393 would create a Sunset Commission. The commission would review government programs, determine which ones were no longer effective, then abolish those. HR 393 makes sense, but it would also repeal Obamacare. Instead of creating 159 new agencies, create one — $3 trillion-plus would just not be spent. Hopefully, the Republican Party will remain against anything Barrack Obama is for. Excellent ideas are coming forth — mainly, don’t spend any more money! Dale McFeatters was not accurate! — Irene Dalton

A bad change for consumers In May, the U.S. Senate added an amendment to the financial services regulatory reform bill. The amendment threatens to drastically change the way credit unions and banks operate their debit card programs and punish the very consumers the overall bill is trying to help. Of all the services our credit union provides, one of the most popular is our debit card program. It’s a safe, affordable and convenient way for consumers to do business. When a consumer swipes their card at a retailer, the retailer pays a small fee to the cardholder’s credit union or bank. This fee covers the costs of operating a debit card program. The Interchange Amendment would give Congress power to control the amount paid by retailers to financial institutions when a consumer uses their debit card. If this amendment stands, the federal government will likely drastically reduce the amount paid to credit unions and banks. By reducing this income, credit unions like ours will be forced to pass the costs of offering debit cards directly to our members, which could cause them to switch to
large banks that are better able to absorb the costs. Retailers will not have to lower prices. In the end, consumers and credit unions lose, and the “too big to fail” banks that caused the financial crisis win. Many features of financial reform will lead to important consumer protections and we support them. The Interchange Amendment, however, punishes consumers who are already struggling in the recession. Our credit union did not cause the problems we face, but we continue working each day to be a part of the solution. We urge Congress not to punish consumers and our credit union while unintentionally rewarding big banks. Please join me in this attempt to have the harmful Interchange Amendment pulled from the financial reform bill. — Huyla Jackson Kannapolis

N.C. needs Cunningham North Carolina is about to embark on a senatorial runoff for a candidate to represent the Democratic Party. This race has the potential to change North Carolina. North Carolina needs new opportunities and a new vision that will enhance its citizens economically. The candidate that has the vision to ac-
complish this is Cal Cunningham. Cunningham has fresh eyes and strong leadership that can help us reach this goal.Cunningham graduated with honors from UNC-Chapel Hill with a BA in political science and philosophy. Cunningham received a master’s of science in public policy and public administration from the London School of Economics. He was awarded a law degree in 1999 from University of North Carolina School of Law. Studying abroad to earn a degree is impressive. Not only was he able to achieve a degree, he also was able to accomplish this by adapting to British culture, the people, and their traditional values. Cunningham’s international programs include the study of government in Thun, Switzerland, business and finance at the Carolina Business Institute and international law through the Duke University Asian American Transnational Law Institute in Hong Kong. His educational background demonstrates his ability to help reshape North Carolina’s future. Cunningham has a highly impressive and decorated military career. A captain in the Army Reserves, he received a bronze star for his efforts while in Iraq. He also received the Douglas McArthur Leadership award, which represents duty, honor and country. Cunningham is a true American patriot. Cunningham is a devoted family man, and a man who practices his faith. His character is impeccable and his empathy for people demonstrates his integrity as a caring senatorial candidate. With a strategy of a pay-as-you-go Congress and his vision, leadership and hard work in the Senate, N.C. citizens should be proud to have him as their representative. — Walt Lindsey Lexington
Common sense
(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)
“You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.” — Coach John Wooden, who died Friday at age 99.
t started with Mrs. Pinkston who hurried home so she could cry after she witnessed middle school students too “busy” to recite the Pledge of Allegiance which is sacred to many of us Americans. Then a successful local merchant said his fury. Then students and a principal defended their school. As an elementary student mentor, I too witnessed students’ lackadaisical attitude toward time set each morning for “voluntary” pledging to the flag. Like Mrs. Pinkston, I was also “hurt” by this unpatriotic attitude. By the way, students, Mrs. Pinkston has been at your school many more times than once because she cares that you learn to help yourselves to a good education. Nobody has said that Knox is not a good school, because it is. This is simply a manner of attitude. Aretha Franklin had a top ten hit that says it all — R E S P E C T. She musically pleaded with us all to have respect for each other and all that we stand for. How do we teach RESPECT? We parents and grandparents (so as to include me) must start the teaching at an early age. For a start, how about “Honor your father and your mother,” which was carved in stone many centuries ago? May I suggest that our public schools devote one morning anTy Cobb Jr. nouncement period early lives in Rock- next fall to play Red well. Skelton’s tribute to his “greatest” teacher, Mr. Laswell, who spoke to his students about the meaning of the Pledge (it is available on YouTube). Students might also be taught a little about the Pledge and why many Americans feel it appropriate to recite the Pledge, while thinking about all those who went before us sacrificing so much to establish the greatest country on Earth and assure freedoms we now enjoy. Even the right to do our nails while others are reciting the Pledge. The Pledge also pays tribute to those men and women currently serving in the military. Maybe you have noticed that our military’s battle dress uniforms have everything on them “camouflaged,” except one thing — the American Flag — which is a symbol of hope and freedom to most everyone in the world. Each and every one of them is an ambassador for freedom. By the way, I told those elementary students that, as an old combat-wounded soldier who had spent three one-year tours of duty overseas without his family, their laziness to recite the Pledge broke my heart. I further told them to trust me when I say America is the greatest country because I have seen many others. I told them millions of people around the world would love to come to America, and nobody wants to leave. The following week the Pledge was more respected. Respect is best taught at home by parents and grandparents (me again). Is Memorial Day just another holiday for picnicking, swimming, playing sports and drinking beer, or is it a day to think about our war dead and the ultimate sacrifice they made so that we might be free? It is both, but how many of us took out a couple of minutes to tell our offspring why we are taking the day off and celebrating? You could do more by watching, with your offspring, one or two parts of the History Channel’s “America: The Story of Us.” If you forgot to do that, may I suggest that the 4th of July is not “the 4th of July,” it is Independence Day, our most patriotic National holiday when we “honor” those men who pledged “their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor” and told the King of England that we had had enough. Many lost it all, but because of them, we enjoy the freedoms we too often take for granted. On Veterans’ Day we pause to honor those still among us who, as Billy Ray Cyrus tells us musically, though “some gave all ... all gave some.” Let us all take time to mentor our children/grandchildren and instill in them the respect our nation and its symbols deserve. Mentor it in such a manner that they would not even think of not reciting our nation’s Pledge.

WASHINGTON — More medical care won’t necessarily make you healthier — it may make you sicker. It’s an idea that technology-loving Americans find hard to believe. Anywhere from one-fifth to nearly one-third of the tests and treatments we get are estimated to be unnecessary, and avoidable care is costly in more ways than the bill: It may lead to dangerous side effects. It can start during birth, as some of the nation’s increasing C-sections are triggered by controversial fetal monitors that signal a baby is in trouble when really everything’s fine. It extends to often futile intensive care at the end of the life. In between: • Americans get the most medical radiation in the world, much of it from repeated CT scans. Too many scans increase the risk of cancer. • Thousands who get stents for blocked heart arteries should have tried medication first. • Doctors prescribe antibiotics tens of millions of times for viruses such as colds that the drugs can’t help. • As major health groups warn of the limitations of prostate cancer screening, even in middle age, one-third of men over 75 get routine PSA tests despite guidelines that say most are too old to benefit. Millions of women at low risk of cervical cancer get more frequent Pap smears than recommended; millions more have been screened even after losing the cervix to a hysterectomy. • Back pain stands out as the No. 1 overtreated condition, from repeated MRI scans that can’t pinpoint the trouble to spine surgery on people who could have gotten better without it. About one in five who gets that first back operation will wind up having another in the next decade. Overtreatment means someone could have fared as well or better with a lesser test or therapy, or maybe even none at all. Avoiding it is less about knowing when to say no, than knowing when to say, “Wait, doc, I need more information!” Medical groups are starting to get the message. Efforts are under way to help doctors ratchet back avoidable care and help patients take an unbiased look at the pros and cons of different options before choosing one. “This is not, I repeat not, rationing,” said Dr. Steven Weinberger of the American College of Physicians, which this summer begins publishing recommendations on overused tests, starting with low back pain. It’s trying to strike a balance, to provide appropriate care rather than the most care. Rare are patients who recognize they’ve crossed that line. “Yet let me tell you, with additional tests and procedures comes significant harm,” said Dr. Bernard Rosof, who heads projects by the nonprofit National Quality Forum and an American Medical Association panel to identify and decrease overuse.
Dr. Steven Birnbaum a radiologist in Nashua, N.H., ‘blew a gasket’ when his daughter was given unnecessary scans.
“We get well-paid for doing procedures. We get paid relatively poorly for spending time with patients and helping them make choices.” DR. DAVID GOODMAN Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy
“It’s patient education that’s going to be extremely important if we’re going to make this happen, so people begin to understand less is often better,” he said. Not even doctors’ families are immune. A hospital appropriately did six CT scans to check Dr. Steven Birnbaum’s 22-year-old daughter for injury after she was hit by a car. But the next day, Molly had an abdominal scan repeated as a precaution despite having no symptoms. When a doctor ordered still another, “I blew a gasket,” said the New Hampshire radiologist, who put a stop to more. • • • There are numerous reasons that one of three U.S. births now is by cesarean, but Dr. Alex Friedman blames some on an imprecise monitor strapped to laboring women. “Everyone knows it’s a bad test,” said Friedman of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. “You haven’t done the patient a big service by doing an unnecessary surgery.” Electronic fetal monitors record changes in the baby’s heart rate, a possible sign of too little oxygen. They became a tradition — now used in 85 percent of births — years before research could prove how well they work. Guidelines issued last summer, aiming to help doctors better interpret which tests are worrisome, acknowledge the monitors haven’t reduced deaths or cerebral palsy. But they do increase the chances of a C-section. While they should be used in high-risk women, the guidelines say the low-risk could fare as well if a nurse regularly checked the baby’s heart rate. • • • Overtreatment is a big contributor to runaway health care costs. Yet it’s one that lawmakers, wary of being accused of rationing, largely avoided in the new health care law. “Physicians get up every day with the good intentions of wanting to do what’s best for their patients,” said Dr.
Keith Swenson tills the ground between rows at a peony acreage in Minnesota. After failed back surgery, he finally recovered with an aggressive rehab program that exercises the muscles that support the back, enabling him to work. David Goodman of the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy. “We also live in environments where there are strong financial incentives to deliver certain types of care. We get well-paid for doing procedures. We get paid relatively poorly for spending time with patients and helping them make choices.” Where you live plays a role. Two decades of research from the respected Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care shows that in parts of the country, Medicare pays double or triple the price to treat people with the same illnesses. The differences are not fully explained by big cities’ higher cost of living or populations that are poorer, older or sicker. How much care someone gets is a main reason, yet Dartmouth’s data shows people in pricier areas don’t necessarily fare better. Dartmouth’s check of 2005 Medicare data found that during their last six months of life, older adults in Boise, Idaho, spent 5.3 days in the hospital compared with 17 days in Miami. Fee-for-service care and local habits aren’t the only drivers. Fear of malpractice lawsuits “has everything to do with it,” said Dr. Angela Gardner, president of the American College of Emergency Physicians, whose members face intense pressure to overtest in the life-and-death chaos of the ER. • • • Care for the dying is often a powerful illustration of treatment going too far. Texas author Liza Ely had lined up hospice care for her 93-year-old mother, Verna Burnett, as she lived her last
days with Alzheimer’s and heart failure. Yet when Burnett developed an irregular heartbeat, the care provider at her Tyler, Texas, nursing home recommended seeing a cardiologist, to have a tube threaded through blood vessels to her heart to check it out. “We were speechless,” Ely said. “We asked what could be done if something showed up on the test.” The response: “Nothing, really.” Ely said the family refused the “painful, expensive and unnecessary test.” Congress’ health care overhaul initially included a provision that would have authorized Medicare to pay doctors for counseling patients interested in end-of-life options. The provision died in the hue and cry after Sarah Palin dubbed the effort “death panels,” a charge named 2009 political “Lie of the Year” by the nonpartisan fact-checking organization PolitiFact. • • • New efforts are beginning to push back against overtreatment: • In Minnesota, the influential health cooperative HealthPartners saw use of MRIs and radiation-heavy CTs growing between 15 percent and 18 percent a year. So the insurer began a new program: National radiology guidelines pop up on each patient’s electronic medical record whenever a doctor orders a scan. It’s not a requirement, but a gentle reminder of when such tests are recommended. In two years and counting, HealthPartners estimates it avoided 20,000 unnecessary tests, preventing dangerous radiation exposure and saving $14 million. • An American Medical Association journal, Archives of Internal Medicine, just began a “Less is More” series to educate doctors about the risks of overused treatments. First up: Studies saying more than half of the 100 million-plus prescriptions for the strongest stomach acid suppressors — proton pump inhibitors such as Nexium — go to people who don’t need something that powerful. That puts them at unnecessary risk of side effects, including bone fractures and infections. • This summer, the journal Annals of Internal Medicine begins publishing American College of Physicians’ guidelines for “high-value, cost-conscious care.” • To increase patients’ savvy, about a dozen health centers around the country are testing “shared decisionmaking.” That process uses plain-English guides, often DVDs, to explain the advantages and disadvantages of test and treatment options. Given full information, patients choose a less aggressive approach than doctors initially recommend about 20 percent of the time, says Dr. Michael Barry of the nonprofit Foundation for Informed Medical Decision-Making. “Where I think no one in the Consumer Reports age would go to the car lot and say, ‘I’m going to let the dealer figure out what car I want or need,’ now we are taking a little of that spirit to the doctor’s office,” he said.
Overtreated: bleeding for colds, X-rays for shoes WASHINGTON (AP) — Bloodletting for a cold? Xrays to see if your shoes fit? Medicines, tests or procedures that can be useful in the right situation, yet dangerous if overused. It’s been a recurring theme through history. From the 1930s to the 1950s, thousands of U.S. children getting new shoes would climb onto wooden contraptions, press a button and look at the bones in their toes, glowing in eerie green light. Shoe stores had fluoroscopes, a sales tool that supposedly helped to make sure shoes fit correctly by X-raying them for five seconds to 45 seconds — while they were on a kid’s feet. The device fit into a “culture of artistic persuasion and scientific blather like Cinderella into her glass slipper,” wrote Dr. Jacalyn Duffin of Queens University in Ontario, in her study of the history of the machines.
At first, people weren’t worried about a possible hazard, but that changed after the first atomic bombs were detonated and the risks of radiation became more widely known, according to Duffin. The machine lured people into stores at first, but “once it stopped working as an advertisement, when it served to drive people away, the store owners got rid of them,” she said. Tests showed many machines produced unnecessarily high levels of X-rays. There was a report of a woman who had chronic skin problems on her feet after working several years demonstrating the safety of the machines. Pennsylvania banned the devices in 1957 and other states followed. And what about the idea that drugs sold in the U.S. actually work? Not until the early 1960s was there a law that required that. It may not have been
known at the time that a product was being overused, “but you look back and say ‘Wow,’ we used too much of that,”’ said John Swann, historian at the Food and Drug Administration. One example is Phenacetin. It was the “P” in once-popular A-P-C pills that also contained aspirin and caffeine. They served to ease pain and fever and give a boost. “It was a very effective fever reducer and had been around a long time,” Swann said. “It was a pretty common medicine at the time.” But after long-term use, women who used Phenacetin were subject to urinary and kidney disease and high blood pressure. Phenacetin was banned in the U.S. in 1983. Another “drug” noted by Swann was Marmola, which was desiccated thyroid tablets sold early in the 20th century as a diet product. People took them like candy, Swann said,
but it wasn’t safe. It, too, was taken off the market. For many people, thinking about discredited medical care conjures up images of medieval bloodletting, a medical treatment popular for thousands of years. It’s still used for rare diseases. Duffin, a hematologist as well as medical historian, says she still uses it for diseases that cause an overloading of iron or red blood cells. But bloodletting was wildly overused and, in most cases, did more harm than good. George Washington caught a cold and suffered severe respiratory distress in the hours before he died. During that time, he was bled several times by a series of doctors — a total estimated later at between five pints and seven pints in less than 12 hours. Even a big, sturdy man like Washington must have been weakened by losing that much blood.
CHICAGO (AP) — Doctors are reporting a key advance in treating men with cancer that has started to spread beyond the prostate: survival is significantly better if radiation is added to standard hormone treatments. Results of the study were given Sunday at a cancer conference, where other research showed that an experimental drug boosted survival for women with very advanced breast cancer. The drug is being reviewed by the federal Food and Drug Administration. The prostate study has the potential to change care right away. About 20 percent of the nearly 200,000 men diagnosed with the disease each year in the United States are like those in the study — with cancer that has spread to the area around the prostate. “It is this group of patients in whom many of the deaths from prostate cancer occur,”
because the condition is usually incurable, said study leader Dr. Padraig Warde, a radiation expert from the University of Toronto’s Princess Margaret Hospital. These men are treated with drugs that block testosterone, a hormone that helps prostate cancer grow. Only about half also get radiation because of concerns about urinary problems it can cause. The new study assigned 1,200 men to get hormones plus radiation or hormones alone. After seven years, 74 percent of men receiving both treatments were alive versus 66 percent of the others. Those on both treatments lived an average of six months longer than those given just hormones. Serious side effects occurred in less than 2 percent of men in either group. The study was sponsored by the National Cancer Institute of Canada.

met with rave reviews; so many rave reviews that it’s almost hard to believe. Well the good news is that this hard working, humble, soft-spoken, incredibly attentive, sensitive and compassionate doctor has created an interesting bind that has forced him to limit the number of free consultations he is able to offer. “We realize how many people are out there that are needlessly suffering and yet I also realize that what sets me apart is the fact that I’m willing to take the time each and every patient needs in order to not only help them get better but also to help them feel heard.

I have had three epidurals in my back plus back surgery a year ago, without success or relief from pain in my back and leg. I returned to the surgeon only to receive more steroid shots to my leg & knee with no relief from pain, and I could hardly walk. I could tell a difference with my first treatment with spinal decompression. I have been able to get back to cleaning my house, shopping, walking and enjoying life again. I no longer have the pain in my leg & back. It has been a wonderful and priceless experience to me!” ~ Marlene T.
“I’ve had shots and different medications, but now I don’t need them.” “When I first came to see Dr. Matthews, I couldn’t walk, lift or bend. Dr. Matthews started me on the Spinal Decompression machine, and after the first treatment, I could walk again! I could drive without a pillow behind my back. I’ve had shots and different medications but now I don’t need them. Dr. Matthews also taught me exercises and taught me how to lift correctly so I don’t hurt myself. I recommend Dr. Matthews and this machine. And they are all so sweet here. They will help you in any way they possibly can.” ~ Bobby M.
“The orthopedic doctor suggested surgery…the treatment allowed the discs to heal…Surgery is no longer needed!” “I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and a bulging disc in my lower back about two years ago. I had horrific pain in my back, buttocks, legs and feet. I was living on pain medication daily. I then moved to epidural shots which did not work, and then finally the orthopedic doctor suggested surgery. After doing decompression therapy, I am now at least 90 to 95% pain free. The treatment allowed the discs to heal relieving the pressure on the sciatic nerve. I thank God for Dr. Matthews and the lumbar decompression system. Surgery is no longer needed!” ~ Jerry B.

Celtics even series
LONG POND, Pa.— Denny Hamlin won again at Pocono, pulling away from teammate Kyle Busch following a late restart Sunday in the 500-mile race at the massive 2.5-mile oval. The victory was Hamlin’s fourth of the season and fourth in nine career starts at the “tricky triangle.” Busch held off Tony Stewart for second in his 200th career start. Points leader Kevin Harvick was fourth, followed by four-time defending series champion Jimmie Johnson. The start was delayed 90 minutes by rain then another 10 minutes or so while officials patched a pothole at the

with Busch saying he wanted to “kill” Hamlin following a run-in at the All-Star race two weeks ago. There was no drama this time. Hamlin easily drew free of Busch and Stewart, cutting Stewart off as they exited the first turn and cruising from there. “That last restart was the best (the car) has been all day,” said Hamlin, who led 88 laps. The finish line was almost in sight when a massive wreck swallowed nine cars. Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin and Kasey Kahne were all involved, with Kahne’s No. 9 Ford on top of the retaining wall as one of the circuit’s more sleepy stops
NOTES ‘N’ QUOTES
BY GREG BEACHAM LOS ANGELES — The Boston Celtics 103 C e l t i c s Lakers 94 evened the NBA finals with Ray Allen shredding the Lakers from the 3-point line — and Rajon Rondo doing everything else from everywhere else. Allen scored 27 of his 32 points in the first half with a record-setting 3-point shooting display, Rondo completed a triple-double down the stretch and the Celtics handed the Los Angeles Lakers their first home loss of the postseason, 103-94 Sunday night in Game 2. Allen hit a finals-record eight 3-pointers in a dazzling effort for the Celtics, including seven before halftime. Rondo then took charge after Allen cooled down, racking up 19 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in his fifth playoff triple-double. “An entire team effort,” Rondo said. “Ray carried us through the first half. Second half, we got in a little slump but we stuck with it, stayed together and got a victory.” Game 3 is Tuesday night in Boston. Kobe Bryant scored 21 points while battling more foul trouble for the Lakers, who couldn’t catch up to Boston’s dynamic guards in Los Angeles’ first home playoff loss since last season’s Western Conference finals. Pau Gasol had 25 points and eight rebounds for the Lakers, and Andrew Bynum added 21 points and six rebounds. “It’s a disappointing loss
end of pit road inadvertently opened up by a jet dryer. Once the rain cleared, Hamlin dominated at one of his favorite tracks. Hamlin appeared to have the race won five minutes earlier, but his two-second lead was wiped out when Harvick nudged Joey Logano into the wall while the drivers were battling for fourth with less than two laps to go. Hamlin couldn’t quite reach the start/finish line for the white flag before the caution came out, sending the race into a two-lap overtime. Hamlin debated on which lane to pick for the restart, and opted to go inside in front of Busch. The two Joe Gibbs Racing teammates haven’t exactly been friendly of late,

o, how did Brian Hightower celebrate East Rowan’s 3A state championship on Saturday night? Did he go to Disney World? Go eat a big, juicy steak? Nah, he did what any coach who just won the big prize would. He watched Tommy Boy. Huh? “I drove RONNIE home, took a GALLAGHER shower and climbed in bed with my son, Charlie, and we watched Tommy Boy,” Hightower said. “He loves that movie.” When Sunday morning arrived, there was no relaxing for Hightower. Then again, he doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who wants to relax. There was more baseball to think about. As Rowan Legion coach Jim Gantt was lining off the field at Newman Park, Hightower showed up. “He was here way before anybody else,” Gantt said of the Rowan Junior Legion coach. “There’s no one who loves baseball more than he does.” Around noon, Hightower was found giving out uniforms for the Junior Legion. “Gotta game at 2,” he announced. • As soon as East had wrapped up a wild 15-10 win JON C.

WSAT 1280. Was he laughing and joking? No. He was as serious as ever, talking about next season and whether the Mustangs could win it all again. Wanna predict a second straight title for East Rowan? Hightower said he wouldn’t go that far but added, “We’re going to work like to heck to do it.” Gantt said, “I’m happy for them. They could’ve won it three years in a row.” Hightower said it was mainly a feeling a relief. “What these kids accomplished was amazing,” he said. • Gantt was preparing to board the bus on Sunday for a 2 p.m. game at Mocksville when he was asked when the East players would join his Legion club? “I’m really not sure,” he said. “Not for this game. None of them are here.” But when they show? “A huge difference,” Gantt said. The East kids like Noah Holmes and Preston Troutman have been living the baseball dream. A thirdplace finish nationally in Legion back in August and now a state title for their high school. “Success breeds success,” Gantt said. • As East players charged the field and mobbed each other after the Game 2 victory, Salisbury football coach Joe Pinyan watched from the right-field corner.

Dreary doubleheader for Rowan Legion Rowan can’t hold lead against Mocksville BY MIKE LONDON
mlondon@salisburypost.com
MOCKSVILLE — Mocksville slugger Hernan Bautista crushed an inMocksville 14 side curveball toward the Rowan 5 tall trees behind the leftfield fence, and the only question was fair or foul. The umpire pointed fair, and Mocksville’s big catcher had put an emphatic exclamation point on a 14-5 victory against Rowan County at Rich Park on Sunday afternoon. “I hit it pretty good, but the way my luck’s been going, I figured it would just be a foul ball,” said Bautista, a West Rowan grad. Mocksville was luckier and better than Rowan, which was still awaiting reinforcements from 3A state champ East Rowan.
Zach Smith had three hits and Matt Miller reached base five times, but Mocksville scored 11 unanswered runs to batter a program that’s been its nemesis. “We’ve taken beatings MILLER from Rowan in the past, but we pulled together as a team instead of being individuals,” said Mocksville hero Ryan Carter, who snapped a 5-5 tie in the sixth with a three-run double. A series of baserunning blunders stalled Rowan after it had wiped out an early 2-0 deficit and grabbed momentum. “We probably should have tacked on a few more on that lead and put them away, but in-

Stanly cruises on a rainy night at Newman BY JORDAN HONEYCUTT sports@salisburypost.com
There must have been something in the water at Newman Stanly 11 Park on Rowan 3 Sunday night. Rainwater, that is. After rain fell in the second inning for about an hour and delayed the game between Rowan County and Stanly County, it seemed to wake up Stanly and zap the energy from the home team. Stanly starter John Mc-

TROUTMAN
Clure hurled seven strong innings, got ahead of Rowan hitters consistently and led the visitors to an 11-3 victory. McClure retired 11 consecutive batters during one impressive stretch.
Stanly’s offense had fourrun outbursts in the fourth and ninth, belted timely hits and capitalized on Rowan control problems on the mound. On a dreary night, Zach Smith and Preston Troutman stood out for Rowan. Smith scored twice, and Troutman went 2-for-3 with two doubles and a run scored. “It’s been a while since I lost a game but we played hard and they were just better than us tonight,” Troutman said

Serious soccer stampede Associated Press
TEMBISA, South Africa — Thousands of soccer fans stampeded outside a stadium Sunday before an exhibition game between Nigeria and North Korea, leaving 15 people injured, including one police officer who was hurt. Several fans fell under the rush of people, many wearing Nigeria jerseys. The Makhulong Stadium in the Johannesburg suburb seats about 12,000 fans. The mayhem happened only five days before the start of the World Cup, the first to be held in Africa.
DANICA
FORT WORTH, Texas — Danica Patrick says Texas may have been her best overall race in her six IndyCar Series seasons. While Patrick led only one lap late and finished second at Texas, she was ecstatic after the race on the highbanked, 11⁄2-mile track late Saturday night. Patrick was passing cars high and low, seemingly comfortable in any traffic. She was driving hard near the front pack the entire race . Patrick feels it was her best race in not making mistakes, being good in and out of the pits and being good on the track. Roger Penske, the owner of Briscoe’s car, says Patrick’s performance was “terrific.”

OKLAHOMA CITY — Samantha Camuso crushed a three-run home run as UCLA continued slugging its way through the Women’s College World Series with a 5-2 win against Georgia on Sunday. The Bruins (48-11) earn a spot in title series. • CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Augusta State won its first NCAA Division I men’s golf national championship after Oklahoma State’s Kevin Tway missed a 3-foot putt on a playoff hole to hand Mitch Krywulycz the match and the Jaguars a 3-1-1 victory.
“We wanted to look at him,” Payton said. “He was here for the rookie camp and did a good job. He’s a pretty good decision maker.” Paulus stopped short of saying he expects to return for training camp. The Saints have been talking with several veterans, including Josh McCown and Patrick Ramsey, who could come in and compete with Daniel, a secondyear pro, for the backup role behind Brees. If that happened, Paulus could be out of the picture in New Orleans. “There are a lot of different scenarios that could help or hurt you and you’ve got to control the things that you can control, which is your performance and what you do on the field and how you carry yourself,” Paulus said. “My primary focus is to be me, do what I do and hopefully there’s a chance here because this is a special organization.” Paulus, who grew up in Syracuse, was a high school standout in both football and basketball. In the winter of 2005, he was selected for the Army AllAmerican high school football game along with other top college recruits such as current Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez. After that, however, he didn’t play organized football for another four years.

He jiggled his legs, took two bites of a banana, toweled off his arms and face, then rose and finished the job. Soon he was back in the chair sobbing into the towel, overcome with the emotion that accompanied his accomplishment. The relentless Spaniard reclaimed his crown Sunday as the King of Clay, avenging his lone Roland Garros defeat by beating Robin Soderling 6-4, 6-2, 6-4. “It’s the most emotional day in my career,” Nadal told the crowd in French during the trophy ceremony. His bad memories of 2009 included not only an upset loss to Soderling at Roland Garros, but the separation of his parents and knee tendinitis that contributed to a prolonged slump. “It was a difficult year for me last year,” he said. “It was difficult to accept the injuries and everything.” The victory ended his longest Grand Slam drought since winning his first major title at Roland Garros in 2005. Seeded No. 2, Nadal won with dogged defense, chasing down shots all over the court. He swept seven consecutive games midway through the match and held every serve, saving all eight break points he faced. Nadal improved to 38-1 at Roland Garros, with the only loss to Soderling in the fourth round a year ago. “I played my best match against you,” Nadal told the big-swinging Swede during the trophy ceremony. “If not, it’s going to be impossible to beat you.” Nadal became the second man to win the French Open at least five times, and next year he’ll have a chance to match Bjorn Borg’s record of six titles. “It’s really impressive,” Soderling told Nadal. “If you continue like this, you will sure have the chance to win many more.” With the victory, Nadal will also reclaim

ended in chaos. None of the drivers were hurt, but tempers across the garage were frayed. The 20-year-old Logano exchanged words with Harvick and had to be restrained by Harvick’s crew, a rare display of anger from
the normally reserved youngster. “It’s probably not (Harvick’s) fault, his wife wears the fire suit in the family tells him what to do, so it’s probably not his fault,” Logano said. NASCAR officials asked to talk to Logano following the outburst. Team owner Joe Gibbs defended his driver. “I think we probably missed the fire that’s inside of Joey,” Gibbs said. “He’s somebody that rarely gets out
the No. 1 ranking Monday, supplanting Roger Federer. Soderling, who has yet to win a major title, finished as the runner-up for the second year in a row. In 2009 he lost in the final to Federer. “I love this tournament,” he said. “I will come back next year, and I hope I’ll be third time lucky then.” When Soderling’s final shot landed in the net, Nadal slid onto his back, threw up his fists and rose, shaking from his hair the clay he loves. When he sat down, he began to cry. “It was a really emotional moment for me,” he said. “After you win this big title, you lose your tension.” The weather was mild and mostly cloudy — a nice day to go running, and Nadal did plenty of it. Playing farther behind the baseline than in their match last year, he skidded across the clay and lunged to dig shots out of the corners, repeatedly extending points until Soderling finally misfired. Soderling tried to win points quickly and sometimes did, but most of the long rallies went Nadal’s way. Before the first set ended, the Swede was panting between points. To compound Soderling’s woes, he had an off day with his serve, his biggest weapon. He totaled only seven aces, the same number Nadal. For the other six rounds, Soderling had 75 aces, Nadal 12. “I didn’t play as good this year as I did against him last year,” Soderling said. “I didn’t serve as well. I wasn’t hitting the ball as clean. It was tough today. I didn’t really get into the match.” Nadal’s march to his seventh Grand Slam title was deliberate only between points. Advised by the chair umpire he was taking too much time with his methodical ritual before serving, Nadal responded, “Thank you,” and slightly picked up the pace. Nadal’s persistence paid off big early in the second set. Facing a break point, he retrieved shots from both corners and punched back a Soderling slam, then charged forward and hit a deft drop volley for a winner. The stadium shook with a roar, and Nadal threw an uppercut accompanied by a leg kick.
of control.” Stewart, while admitting he didn’t have enough car to chase down Hamlin, wasn’t pleased either. He called the racing off the restarts “idiotic” and left little doubt that he’ll seek payback starting next week in Michigan. “I’ve seen some of the worst driving I’ve ever seen in my life in a professional series right here today,” he said. “So for anybody that’s looking for drama for the next couple races,
CHICAGO — Dustin Byfuglien scored two goals and had two assists as the Chicago Blackhawks 7 B l a c k Flyers 4 hawks got off to a quick start, got their offense untracked and beat the Philadelphia Flyers 7-4 on Sunday night for a 3-2 lead in the Stanley Cup finals. Brent Seabrook added a power-play goal and Dave Bolland, Kris Versteeg, Patrick Kane and Patrick Sharp also scored for the Blackhawks. Chicago can capture the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1961 with a victory Wednesday night in Philadelphia in Game 6. A Flyers win would send the series back to Chicago for a decisive Game 7 on Friday night. All five wins in the series have come on home ice. Scott Hartnell, Kimmo Timonen, James van Riemsdyk and Simon Gagne scored for the Flyers. Gagne’s goal with 2:36 left made it 6-4, but a half-minute later Byfuglien converted an empty-netter. After two straight losses

for our ballclub, but they did a good job,” Gasol said. “They really executed and had a good game plan. We definitely need to make sure we hustle a little more. They got to the ball a lot of times quicker than we did, secondchance opportunities, loose balls. They were pursuing the ball with a little more desire.” The clubs traded the lead throughout the fourth quarter, but Rondo’s heady layup put the Celtics ahead for good with 3:21 to play. The play was vintage Rondo, scooting in to collect a shot blocked by Gasol and scoring before Gasol could react. Kevin Garnett then hit a jumper, and after another possession of stifling defense, Rondo hit another jumper, celebrating with a swing of his arm in the mostly silent Staples Center. Rondo has grown into possibly the Celtics’ biggest offensive threat in these playoffs. Although it wasn’t as gaudy as his 29-point, 18-rebound, 13-assist, monstrous Game 4 in the second round against Cleveland, his 10point fourth quarter against the Lakers looms among his

He celebrated with a lengthy burnout and ended up nicking the wall in the process. He might want to take care of the car, which is 3-for-3 on the season. Busch was hoping to make his
in Philadelphia, a return to the United Center invigorated the Blackhawks as did some line mixing by coach Joel Quenneville. The Blackhawks blitzed Flyers goalie Michael Leighton with three goals in the final 7:43 of the first period and the United Center erupted as Chicago quickly found the offensive game that had helped it make the finals. Leighton was pulled — for the second time in the series in favor of Brian Boucher — after giving up three goals on 13 shots in the first period. Trailing 3-0, the Flyers wasted little time in getting one of the goals back as Ville Leino took the puck to side of the net and tried to stuff it in. But after hitting goalie Antti Niemi, the puck sat just off the line before Hartnell came in and knocked it home just 32 seconds into the period. Kane, who had been with Byfuglien on a struggling Blackhawks first line that Quenneville split up, got his second goal of the finals.
largest achievements — particularly if Boston gets rolling toward its 18th championship during three straight games at home over the next week. “He just did a lot of things — the blocked shots, the steals,” Boston coach Doc Rivers said. “He’s our quarterback, and he does a lot of stuff for us. He was special tonight.” After the Lakers’ whistleplagued 102-89 victory in the opener, both teams again struggled under the weight of foul trouble. Garnett and Bryant both spent extra time on the bench, with Bryant picking up his fifth foul early in the fourth. Garnett had just six points, and Paul Pierce never got going, scoring 10 on 2of-11 shooting. The Celtics also struggled against the Lakers’ lowpost game. With Allen and Rondo playing spectacular basketball, none of their flaws mattered much. “They both were terrific,” Rivers said. Allen had just 12 points on 3-for-8 shooting in the opener, never finding his rhythm after early foul trouble. He didn’t even hit a 3-pointer in Game 1 — but the sharpshooting veteran was just saving it up.
record-breaking start memorable. At 25 years, one month and four days old he became the youngest driver ever to reach the 200-start plateau. Brian Vickers was 25 years, 11 months, 3 days old when he made his 200th start. Busch led four times for 32 laps but wasn’t complaining after coming up short. He’s never been a fan of the quirky eastern Pennsylvania track. That didn’t change even after his best finish here.

stead we gave Mocksville life with bad baserunning,” Gantt said. “But no excuses. Our pitchers got behind in the count all day and we got beat.” The game turned in the bottom of the sixth. Rowan’s Forrest Buchanan had pitched OK to that point and had a 5-3 lead, but things unraveled quickly. “It was hot, but Forrest still felt fine and they had 7-8-9 coming up,” Gantt said. “Then the wheels come off.” Those bottom-of-the-order guys reached without needing to swing. One walk. Two hit batsmen. Based loaded. Alex Litaker relieved Buchanan and struck out leadoff man Tyler Jordan. But Bret Peterson, who had four hits, was next, and his sharp, two-run single to left made it 5-5. Litaker hit Jess Cartner with a pitch to reload the bases before he fanned Bautista for the second out. That set the stage for Carter to cleared the bases with a booming double that ricocheted off the fence.Then Zach Long knocked in Carter to cap a six-run inning. Winning pitcher Joe Watson blasted a homer to left in the seventh to make it 10-5. “He had two strikes on me, and I was kinda looking for a fastball inside,” said Watson, a Davie junior who is a Duke football commitment. “I took a pretty healthy cut at it.” Watson pitched around several defensive lapses. “We made errors, but you have to trust your defense and try to keep getting groundballs,” he said. Mocksville coach Charles Kurfees praised Watson for maintaining his poise when things looked bad early. “Our fielding has just been horrendous — that’s 14 errors in two games, and we know we have to field it better,” he said. “But Joe is pitching great.”
Rowan’s best pitching performance was turned in by Dakota Brown who tossed three innings, giving up no runs and only one hit. “We played a good team tonight, their hitters battled, and they made us pay on all of our mistakes,” Rowan coach Jim Gantt said. “I think part of it is that guys are worried about making the team and pressing, maybe trying to do too much and we just need to not be so overanxious at the plate.” Stanly turned in a complete effort, and coach Terry Tucker was pleased with his team’s performance. Right fielder Gus Fesperman went 3-for-4 with two runs and two RBIs, and third baseman Jacob Beck was 3for-5 with two runs and an RBI. “We played the most complete game that we have played all year,” Tucker said. “Our hitting has been doing well all year, but tonight John (McClure) was huge for us.” Nathan Fulbright reached three times for Rowan, and Andy Austin and Hayden Untz collected an RBI each. Many players have turned in impressive performances for Rowan in the early going, giving Gantt some tough roster decisions to make in the near future. Rowan returns to action, hopefully under friendlier skies, at Newman Park on Wednesday and will look to break a four-game against Lexington.

MOCKSVILLE — Always known for location that’s almost as good as his disposition, West Rowan’s D.J. Webb will continue his pitching career at Catawba next season. Webb will be a walk-on for the talented Indians who annually produce draft picks and championships, but there’s a reasonable chance he’ll earn some innings. “Catawba’s the place I’ve always been real interested in,” Webb said. “When I found out I was accepted at Catawba and found out I was getting enough scholarships and federal aid where I won’t have to pay much, I sent them a letter and they said I’ve got a spot on the team.” A spot is all Webb is asking for. He knows it’s up to him to make the most of the opportunities that arise.
Webb recently concluded a senior season filled with black cats and broken mirrors. He won only two games for the Falcons (14-12), who had to be the best 3A team in the state that didn’t make the playoffs. When East Rowan squared off with Northwest Cabarrus in the fourth round of the 3A playoffs, West fans had to be frustrated. The Falcons had beaten both teams. One of Webb’s wins was a complete game against East. The other was a two-hitter against Salisbury. “Pitching is mostly what my life is,” the quiet right-hander said. “This was one of those years where I had real heartbreaking losses, but you’ve just got to go with it.” Webb lost 3-2 in the ninth at Carson despite going the distance and not allowing an earned run. He also was the loser in an extra-innings struggle at East that ended his prep
career in the NPC tournament. Webb also boosted the Falcons with his bat. His .404 batting average as a third baseman and DH helped him earn all-county honors for the second straight year. He was 4-1 with six saves as a junior. Webb is currently pitching and playing third base for the Mocksville Legion team. On Friday, he stifled Concord for nine innings. “D.J.’s got it working right now,” said Mocksville catcher Hernan Bautista, who was Webb’s teammate at West in 2009. “His location is very good. He hitting his spots.” Mocksville coach Charles Kurfees appreciates Webb’s pitching, poise and personality. “D.J. gets ahead and gets groundballs, so he’s a successful pitcher, ” Kurfees said. “And what a super young man. If everybody had his attitude, it would be unbelievable.”
NOTES: Rowan is expected to be near full strength on Wednesday for the first time, although third baseman Noah Holmes came out of the 3A championship series, nursing a sore quad and hamstring. ... Rowan is 5-5 and 2-3 in the league. Stanly is 6-2, 4-2. Stanly 11, Rowan 3 STANLY

SALISBURY POST
Associated Press BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Orioles ended their 10-game losing streak in dramatic fashion, getting an RBI single from slumping Nick Markakis in the 11th inning to defeat the Boston Red Sox 4-3 Sunday. The victory was the first for interim manager Juan Samuel, who was promoted when Dave Trembley was fired Friday. The Orioles lost Samuel’s first two games by a combined 19-2 score. Cesar Izturis led off the 11th with a walk against Hideki Okajima (2-2) and went to second on a sacrifice. After Miguel Tejada was walked intentionally, Markakis — mired in an 0-for-14 skid — blooped a single to center that easily scored the winning run. Yankees 4, Blue Jays 3 TORONTO— Robinson Cano hit a tiebreaking, two-run single in the eighth inning and the Yankees rallied past the Blue Jays to avoid a three-game sweep. Vernon Wells’ two-run homer in the sixth was the only hit allowed by Yankees starter Javier Vazquez (5-5) in seven innings, and New York’s power-packed lineup — which managed just three runs in the first 30 innings of the series — scored four times in the eighth. Rays 9, Rangers 5 ARLINGTON, Texas — John Jaso drove in five runs, Matt Garza won for the first time in a month and the Rays avoided a weekend sweep. Jaso had a two-run homer, a two-run single and an RBI double as the designated hitter from the leadoff spot, a day after the rookie became the first Rays catcher ever to bat first. Athletics 5, Twins 4 OAKLAND, Calif. — Gio Gonzalez struck out four in seven innings to win his third straight decision, and the Athletics scored all of their runs with two outs against the

Mike Napoli smacks one of the four hits he produced for the Angels on Sunday. Twins. Jack Cust and Kevin Kouzmanoff hit back-to-back RBI singles in the first to stake Gonzalez (6-3) to an early 2-0 lead. Ryan Sweeney hit an RBI double in the second and Mark Ellis and Cliff Pennington added RBI singles in the third to chase the Twins’ Nick Blackburn (6-3). Royals 7, Tigers 2 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Brian Bannister won his career-high fifth straight start, Jose Guillen hit a three-run homer and the Royals roughed up Jeremy Bonderman. Bannister (6-3) improved to 20-8 in day games and is 5-2 with a 2.16 ERA in nine starts against the Tigers. He also ended his
streak of allowing a home run at nine consecutive games. White Sox 8, Indians 7 CHICAGO — Paul Konerko hit a tworun homer and Carlos Quentin added a goahead two-run single in the seventh inning to lead the White Sox to a comeback victory. J.J. Putz (1-2) struck out two in a scoreless seventh to get the win, and Bobby Jenks pitched a perfect ninth for his ninth save in 10 chances. Angels 9, Mariners 4 SEATTLE — Mike Napoli had four hits, including a two-run homer that snapped a seventh-inning tie and lifted the Angels.
Twins are banged up Jimenez notches 11th victory for Rockies Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Minnesota second baseman Orlando Hudson is likely headed for the disabled list with his surgically repaired left wrist healing slowly following a collision with Twins teammate Denard Span. Manager Ron Gardenhire and GM Bill Smith were still working to finalize their plan, but told Hudson of the impending move before Sunday’s series finale against the Oakland Athletics. They must make roster room for Michael Cuddyer’s return from the bereavement list Tuesday. The Twins didn’t plan an announcement until then. While Hudson was confident he could be ready in “a few more days,” Gardenhire said he couldn’t afford to wait. The Twins already are short-handed. “He’s the manager,” Hudson said. “He’s got to make the call. It is what it is.”
PHOENIX — Ubaldo Jimenez became the first 11game winner in the majors, though his scoreless innings streak ended after a franchiserecord 33, and the Colorado Rockies held on to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 on Sunday. Jimenez (11-1) blanked the Diamondbacks through seven innings, then gave up just his second home run of the season, a two-run shot by Conor Jack-
son in the eighth. It was Arizona’s first score against the hard-throwing right-hander in 27 innings dating to last August. Dodgers 5, Braves 4, 11 innings LOS ANGELES — A.J. Ellis hit an RBI single in the 11th inning to give Los Angeles a victory over Atlanta and a split of their four-game series. Pinch-hitter Russell Martin drew a leadoff walk from Jesse Chavez (0-0), advanced on Blake DeWitt’s bunt and came home when Ellis stroked a 1-2 pitch to left for his seventh RBI of the
season. Mets 7, Marlins 6 NEW YORK — Jeff Francoeur hit a tying, three-run homer in the seventh inning. Padres 6, Phillies 5, 10 innings PHILADELPHIA — Adrian Gonzalez homered and drove in three runs, Chase Headley had four hits and San Diego beat Philadelphia on pinch-hitter Oscar Salazar’s two-out infield single in the 10th inning. Reds 5, Nationals 4, 10 innings WASHINGTON — Drew Stubbs hit a two-out single in the
10th inning, driving in Jay Bruce. Giants 6, Pirates 5, 10 innings PITTSBURGH — Freddy Sanchez hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning. Astros 6, Cubs 3 HOUSTON — Carlos Lee hit a two-run homer and Pedro Feliz added a two-run single. Brewers 4, Cards 3, 10 inns. ST. LOUIS — Rickie Weeks homered early and Corey Hart hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning, lifting the Milwaukee Brewers in extra innings.

Milk thistle and hep C Dear Dr. Gott: I am a 60year-old male with hepatitis C. I’m doing as much research as I can on this subject and would like your opinion on milk thistle and its benefits, if any. Dear Reader: There are DR. PETER six hepatitis viruses, A, B, GOTT C, D, E and G, with C commonly considered to be the most serious. All forms attack the liver by causing inflammation that results in that organ’s inability to function normally. With a long-standing diagnosis of hep C, cirrhosis, scarring and even cancer can result. Symptoms may or may not be present in the early stages of the disease. When they do occur, they present with liver tenderness, fatigue, nausea, muscle and/or joint pain and poor appetite. As the disease progresses, low-grade fever and jaundice, a yellowing of the skin, eyes and mucous membranes can result. Common causes include exposure to contaminated blood, such as sharing needles from drug use; the use of contaminated needles for tattooing or body piercing; or receiving a blood transfusion before 1992. Before that date, blood-screening tests were not sophisticated enough to detect the disorder. A woman with the diagnosis can pass the virus on to a newborn. Contrary to some beliefs, hepatitis C isn’t ordinarily trans-
mitted through sexual contact, although in rare instances it can happen. Testing is accomplished through a simple blood analysis. If the results come back positive, a physician might choose to measure the viral load in the blood so the best course of treatment can be decided. He or she may also choose to order a liver biopsy, a procedure in which a small sample of tissue is removed for analysis. While this procedure isn’t vital, it will help determine the severity of the disease and will assist further with treatment options. Most people infected with hep C develop a condition known as chronic hepatitis, and cirrhosis develops in about 20 percent of patients. A positive diagnosis does not mean treatment is necessary. Some people fight off the virus without treatment and without permanent damage. With minor abnormalities detected, a physician may choose to withhold treatment. That is a decision best left to the patient and his or her liver specialist. Standard treatment is weekly injections of a drug called pegylated interferon alfa in combination with oral doses of ribavirin, a broadspectrum antiviral taken twice a day for up to 48 weeks. This combination is up to 80 percent effective in clearing the virus from the bloodstream. Minor side effects of the duo that may improve over time include skin irritation, insomnia, flu-like symptoms and more. End-stage dis-
ease treatment is done through liver transplant. Unfortunately, the number of people on transplant lists far outweighs the number of available livers. On the home front, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, avoiding medications such as acetaminophen and some prescription drugs that may cause liver damage, and reducing alcohol consumption are appropriate first steps. Milk thistle has been used for hundreds of years in Europe as a treatment for jaundice and some liver disorders. It will not cure hepatitis C, nor will it prevent healthy people from contracting the virus. What is known about this over-the-counter product is that silymarin, the primary ingredient, may help heal the liver because it appears to stimulate the production of antioxidant enzymes that neutralize liver toxins and reduce inflammation.

Declarer can play tough too BY PHILLIP ALDER
United Feature Syndicate
For the last two weeks, we have been looking at defensive techniques aimed at either defeating a contract or making declarer guess what to do. Now it is time to show declarer making life hard for the defenders. This most often requires declarer’s playing the least helpful card from his hand, the one that keeps the defenders most uncertain about the lie of that suit. This deal is a textbook example. South is in three no-trump. West leads his fourth-highest club and East puts up the jack. What should declarer do? South’s one-no-trump rebid showed a balanced 12-14 points without a four-card major.
Declarer has six top tricks: four hearts, one diamond and one club (trick one). If the diamond finesse is working, South is in no danger. If, though, West has the diamond king and East the spade ace, the defenders can defeat the contract. To make life as hard as possible for West, declarer must take trick one with the club king: the top of his touching honors. South plays a heart to the board and runs a diamond. It loses, but West doesn’t know whether to continue clubs (playing his partner for the queen) or to shift to the spade six (hoping East has the ace and can push a club through declarer). If West gets it right, South is unlucky. But if declarer wins trick one with the club queen, West should have no problem finding the killing defense. (Declarer’s having
king-queen-doubleton clubs is unlikely.)

‘Shrek Forever After’ leads slow weekend LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hollywood is in a June swoon as a rush of new movies fails to grab audiences. DreamWorks Animation’s “Shrek Forever After” remained the No. 1 movie for a third-straight weekend with $25.3 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. It raised its three-week domestic total to $183 million. “It appears that the family audience is dominating the box office right now, and families clearly want
to see “Shrek,”’ said Anne Globe, head of marketing for DreamWorks Animation. The overall box office tumbled, coming in at $125 million, down 24 percent compared to the same weekend last year, when “The Hangover” opened with $45 million, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com. The best of the newcomers was Universal’s rock ’n’ roll comedy “Get Him to the Greek,” which debuted at No. 2 with $17.4 million. The movie stars Jonah Hill and Russell Brand.
