Commissioners agree to increase funding for schools BY KARISSA MINN
kminn@salisburypost.com
The Rowan County Board of Commissioners has tentatively approved a $190,000 increase in funding for Rowan-Salisbury Schools — significantly less than the $3.1 million increase it had requested. No one volunteered discussion or questions after the board’s budget workshop resumed Tuesday, so Chairman Carl Ford asked for a motion. Commissioner Chad Mitchell first moved to add $690,000 to the Rowan-Salisbury Schools current expense appropriation. The floor
was silent. After his first motion died, Mitchell changed the amount to $190,000 — his original suggestion to keep school funding even with the previous year. “I’m not going any higher than 690, so if there’s a holdout, my options are either 690 or 190,” he said. Commissioner Jon Barber said he couldn’t agree with either motion that night and wanted to wait until Monday’s regular meeting to vote on school funding. He said he wanted to meet the request halfway with $1.5 million. “I’d like to see what the final budget is from the state and what
they may or may not do,” Barber said. “With the flexibility of lottery proceeds, portions of that can be used to pay for teachers’ salaries... I would like to see what that is.” Commissioner Raymond Coltrain pointed out that the board was looking specifically at $1.7 million that would be undesignated to fund a list of additional budget requests. The county received those funds from the sale of property at the Summit Corporate Center to Keith Corporation, with an agreement that the company

City Council adopts budget BY SHELLEY SMITH
ssmith@salisburypost.com
The Salisbury City Council adopted the fiscal year 2010-11 budget during its meeting Tuesday, with council members voting 5-1. Councilman Paul Woodson voted against the ordinance, stating the only reason for his opposition was the 5.57 percent water and sewer rate increase. “I think as usual the staff and Mr. (Dave) Treme did a good job,” Woodson said, but noted many peo-
ple coming to him asking questions about the increasing rates, year after year. “The first thing that happened, when the 19-year-old woman came to see me, she and her husband (had) bought a house,” he said. “Her lawn is dying and she can’t afford to water the lawn.” The second encounter he had with a Salisbury resident was a lady asking him what the point of a City Council was if the council approved

Rowan Regional Medical Center could be undergoing a name change, the first such change in about 15 years. In 1995, Rowan Regional changed its name from Rowan Memorial Hospital. The proposed change comes from the hospital’s board of directors who say surveys indicated patients perceive Presbyterian health care to be of greater quality. Surveys were conducted in the southern part of the county where Rowan Regional competes with Carolinas Medical Center NorthEast in Concord. “People would be more likely to use Rowan because of the affiliation with Presbyterian,” said Bruce Jones, chairman of the board of directors. Presbyterian and Rowan Regional are both part of Novant Health, the parent company. Jones said some people don’t realize the two hospitals are affiliated. He added there is nothing wrong with the current name, but a change would be positive in the southern end of the community. Patient and employee satisfaction indicators show Presbyterian has a tremendous brand name. The board of directors thought with that kind of brand name it would attract more people to the hospital. Jones said from the board’s perspective this change has to be a community driven process. “We have to know what the doctors, employees

Postal carriers receive Million Mile award for safe driving BY MARK WINEKA
mwineka@salisburypost.com
As Salisbury postal carriers gathered to watch fellow mailman Paul Eudy receive his Million Mile Club award for safe driving, one employee shouted out that Eudy deserved an even bigger award because of the route he’s on. “He deserves two of them,” agreed Janet Shuffler, the other recipient Tuesday morning of a Million Mile Club plaque from the MARK WINEKA / SALISBURY POST National Safety Council. Eudy, 57, delivers mail Paul Eudy, right, receives his Million Mile Club plaque and letmostly on U.S. 70, which has ter of recognition from U.S. Postal Service District Manager been one big construction

zone over the past five years or more. The Million Mile award doesn’t mean Eudy hasn’t been in any accidents. His mail car has been rear-ended on U.S. 70 four times and has had a run-in with a motor grader, for example. But those accidents weren’t Eudy’s fault, and he and Shuffler were recognized for achieving their million miles of driving without having a preventable accident. A million miles is equal, the U.S. Postal Service says, to 42 trips around the earth. Asked what it means to re-
ceive an award for a million miles of safe driving, Eudy was blunt. “It means I haven’t run over anyone,” including the “idiots with cell phones.” Eudy rides a motorcycle when he’s not delivering mail in his Scion xB, so that contributes a lot to his defensive driving skills. Shuffler, 56, said the grace of God and being careful has kept her safe over her 30 years of delivering mail in Rowan County. “And I drive very slow,” she added. Both Eudy and Shuffler said mail carriers should
never get in a hurry. Shuffler’s current route covers a section of eastern Rowan County and extends over to Old Union Church Road and down by the river. She used to deliver mail along Stokes Ferry Road, which was much more dangerous, she said. Eudy and Shuffler have daily routes between 55 and 57 miles. Eudy, who has worked out of the Salisbury office for 33 years, delivers to about 580 boxes; Shuffler, 530.

Waiting for the winner Kannapolis convenience store sells winning $2M lottery ticket; prize remains unclaimed KANNAPOLIS — Cha-ching. A Kannapolis convenience store sold the winning Powerball lottery ticket Saturday, and someone is $2 million richer. No one has claimed the ticket yet. Store owner Sam Patel said he hopes the winner is from Kannapolis. “I’m very excited about it,” said Patel, owner of Lane Express Food Mart at 2013 Lane St., off I-85 at exit 63. “I’ve been waiting for that moment for a long time, for someone to hit the big jackpot here.” Customers congratulated Patel on Tuesday as news spread. “He’s great,” said Guy Biggerstaff of Kannapolis, who buys a Powerball ticket from Patel twice a week, as well as $30 to $40 in scratch-off tickets. “I’m glad he did sell it, but I’m mad it wasn’t me.” Andre Metcalf said he lives near Patel’s store and does all his business there. “That’s my Sam-I-Am,” Metcalf said. “They’re good people here.” Patel spotted Metcalf nine cents
when the customer came up short. Anyone who bought a Powerball ticket from Patel’s store on Saturday and still has it can check the numbers by calling 1-877-962-7529 or going to www.nc-educationlottery.org. Any retailer can scan the ticket. “I have a feeling that it’s someone from around here,” Patel said. If the winner threw away the ticket, he or she is out of luck. The winner has 180 days from the drawing date to claim the ticket. “You just never know,” said Ryan Kennemur, public information officer for the N.C. Education Lottery. Someone won $12 million May 28, and still no one has come forward, Kennemur said. That’s unusual, he said. “Typically, these prizes are awarded,” he said. The $2 million ticket is secondbest only to the jackpot. Patel has owned the Lane Express Food Mart for 10 years and sells between $300 and $400 in lottery tickets every day. Most of his

WASHINGTON (AP) — One of the season’s most heavily lobbied pieces of legislation in Congress is shining an unwelcome light on eight lawmakers, whose fundraising has caught the attention of ethics investigators. Acting on a tip, the House Office of Congressional Ethics is conducting a preliminary review, looking WATT for links between political contributions and votes on a massive overhaul of the regulations that govern Wall Street.Six of the eight lawmakers are members of the House Financial Services Committee that initially worked on the legislation. Three of them are now on the conference committee. A letter to several lobbying firms seeks information on Democratic Reps. Mel Watt of North Carolina, Joseph Crowley of New York and Earl Pomeroy of North Dakota. The Republican Reps. include John Campbell of California, Jeb Hensarling of Texas, Chris Lee of New York, Frank Lucas of Oklahoma and Tom Price of Georgia.

All except Crowley and Pomeroy are on the Financial Services panel. Watt, who represents District 12, which includes part of Rowan County, released a statement about the investigation Tuseday. “I was advised recently that the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) has initiated an investigation of several contributions to my campaign committee,” he said. “It’s unfortunate that this has been leaked to the press and that could leave the impression that there has been some impropriety. “Despite that, I think it’s better for me not to comment about the investigation until it is completed except to assure my constituents and the public that I am fully confident that the investigation will conclude that there has been no violation of either the letter or the spirit of any laws or ethical standards.” The ethics office appears to be focusing on fundraising between Dec. 2, 2009, and Dec. 11, the day the House passed its version of the legislation. The bill, a version of which passed the Senate last month, now is before a HouseSenate conference committee.
CHINA GROVE — Only two people spoke Tuesday during the public hearing to adopt the 2010-2011 budget, which was approved. There was much contention amongst the board members concerning the budget, especially the sewer/water fund. Prior to the public hearing, the board held four budget sessions — three of which were to discuss the water/sewer budget. On Tuesday, Councilman Ron Overcash was the only one to not vote in favor of the budget. Resident Donna Moss told the China Grove board she felt if the board approved the sewer/water budget it would be like stealing from customers. “It’s like going to a restaurant and paying for food you don’t eat,” she said. The board opted to double the minimum usage from 1,000 to 2,000 gallons. The water rate will also go from $8 to $9 and the sewer rate will increase from $9.50 to $10.20. The town’s increase in minimum usage means some customers — nearly 300 — will pay more with an increase in the min-

imum amount they consume. Moss said residents have been given excuses for years as to why they continue to increase rates. She also mentioned the much talked about the memorandum of understanding it has with SalisburyRowan Utilities. The agreement between Salisbury and China Grove took place about seven years ago when the town used more water than it does now. The town continue to be billed for the original amount of usage. The town has been in talks with Salisbury about a possible merger that would help reduce its rates or renegotiate the contract terms. The contract ends in seven years. Patricia Upright said as a senior citizen who is on a fixed income she didn’t think it was fair to charge more. “I’d like to know you can pick one group of people and say we don’t use much water and you want to charge us more. I don’t think it’s right for senior citizens to pay for something you don’t use,” she said. Town Manager Bill Pless called this budget a significantly challenging one. The total budget is balanced at more than $4.6 million. Also in the budget is an increase to the property tax rate, which jumped from 38 cents to 43 cents per $100 assessed value. The board last changed its property tax in 2007 when it it decreased from 40 cents to 38 cents, where it’s remained since that time. Although the board approved the budget, there was still some discussion about the proposed fee schedule. Councilman Lee Withers was concerned about the residential tap fee being $1,250. He suggested it be lowered somewhere around $500. “If we are trying to encourage people to use water it’s hard at $1,250,” Withers said. Town staff confirmed the tap fee used to be $600 a year ago. Pless said this issue could be revisited even though the budget had been approved. Councilman Mike Upright said he had a problem with charging renters $150 for a utility deposit. “I think it’s a little high at $150. I could see maybe $75,” he said. Mayor Don Bringle explained that historically the renters left the premises by the time town staff realized they were behind on rent. The reason for the high deposit was established to help the town recoup some of its money. The board recommended Pless and the staff look at some additional fee adjustments and return to the board.

customers are regulars. He sold a $10,000 ticket two years ago and has a $500 or $1,000 winner every couple weeks. His reputation for selling winning tickets will help bring in customers, Patel said. Kennemur agreed. “There’s an idea of lucky stores out there among Powerball players,” he said. Saturday’s $2 million prize was so large because of the Powerball “10X” promotion, Kennemur said. The regular prize for matching all five white balls is $200,000. However, the multiplier for Saturday’s drawing was 10 as part of the promotion, so the prize was $2 million. The promotion ended when the 10 was drawn as the multiplier, Kennemur said. North Carolina has participated in the “10X” promotion three times, with two $2 million winners, he said. Since it began in 2006, the education lottery has raised $1.469 billion for public schools, he said. Whether Patel will receive a commission from the state is unclear. Patel said he was told that his store would earn $10,000 for selling the ticket, but Kennemur said incentives only go to stores that sell jackpot tickets. Patel, who customers greet as “Sammy,” runs the business with his wife, Nilu Patel, and her father, Harmanbhai Patel. Commission or not, the winning ticket will drum up business, he said. “It’s making people happy already,” he said.

Graduation party at Club Liqwid shut down BY JESSIE BURCHETTE
jburchette@salisburypost.com
Police shut down a graduation party at Club Liqwid on Saturday night with 250 teens spilling onto Main Street with multiple fights. One teenager had a toe nearly shot off in a spillover incident. A Salisbury Police officer was injured trying to break up one of many fights. Club Liqwid, 127 S. Main St., hosted a graduation party for teens ages 15 to 18 Saturday night. No alcohol was sold. Salisbury Police Chief Rory Collins said a police officer was outside and another inside the club. At some point teens started flashing competing gang signs in the club. Fearing an escalation, police ordered the party shut down around 11:45 p.m. As the teens were leaving the club, two girls got into a fight in front of the club, drawing a crowd. Collins said additional officers responded to the area as a series of fights broke out, spreading north to the Square. Officers trying to break up a fight at 111 S. Main St. charged Shakeil Dewon Roberson with obstruction when he resisted and “flailed his arms,” trying to avoid being handcuffed. Officer V.A. Ruth, attempting to break up a fight, sustained an injury to his arm. He was taken to Rowan Regional Medical Center, where he was treated and released. While police were dealing
Paintball theft quickly uncovered The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office were spot-on in nearly solving a break-in at business before it was reported. Deputies recovered virtually all of the $8,400 worth of paintball guns and supplies taken from Carolina Paintball Park, 330 Beaver Lane, China Grove. Steven Lee Wyatt, an employee of Carolina Paintball, discovered the break-in around 7:45 a.m. Saturday. As deputies were being dispatched to the location, deputies D.C. Holstein and W.C. Lowery contacted the responding officers to say they had received a tip on stolen paintball equipment. Dozens of paintball guns had been taken from the business between June 7 and June 12. Thieves entered the building by removing a window air conditioner. Deputies located a large quantity of paintball equipment and supplies in a closet at a residence at 7020 Beaver Road, Kannapolis. Capt. John Sifford said three residents of the house told investigators that a friend of Thomas Bailey, another family member, had called there Friday night around midnight. They told investigators that the friend brought the paintball guns and put them in a closet. At some point, a family member apparently called the Sheriff’s Office.

Hensarling spokesman George Rasley said the Office of Congressional Ethics informed Hensarling that a source had claimed the congressman’s opposition to the regulatory legislation may have been influenced by political donations before the vote. Rasley said the ethics office did not identify the source. The ethics office gave similar information to other lawmakers, congressional officials said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. “Congressman Hensarling categorically denies any implication of influence and looks forward to clearing up this false charge,” Rasley said. Other lawmakers also denied wrongdoing.
with fights in the 100 block of Main, a teen who heard about the fights and was headed downtown was shot at 403 S. Main St. Ebin Shaheed Williams, 17, told police he had gone by Club Liqwid earlier to attend the party, but didn’t want to pay the $5 admission. Later, when Williams heard about the fights, he and friends started up Horah Street toward Main Street. Williams told police that he and friends encountered a group of people walking toward Horah Street. As Williams was talking to one of the people in the group, he said he felt a pain in his foot. Shortly afterwards, he pulled his shoe off and saw “his toe hanging off,” realizing he had been shot. He got a ride to Rowan Regional Medical Center for treatment. Hospital officials notified police of the gunshot wound. Williams told police that he didn’t know who shot him. He said most of those in the group were dressed in red and had Westside gang markings. Collins said the investigation is continuing. Police are also investigating a report of vandalism that resulted from the crowd spilling onto the street. Mariah Shantel Gregory and Cherie Cantelle Pearson were charged with disturbing the peace related to the fight in front of Club Liqwid. Roberson was charged with resisting arrest in relation to the fight at 111 S. Main St. Brookwood Drive, China Grove. Sifford said most, if not all of the items stolen from Carolina Paintball, have been recovered and returned. Investigators have multiple suspects. Charges are pending.
Off-duty deputy shoots pit bull An off-duty deputy sheriff shot a neighbor’s pit bull when it came charging into his yard at his three small dogs. According to a Salisbury Police report, Deputy Richard Hadley of Keystone Drive was walking his three small dogs in his yard Friday around 9 a.m. Hadley said a neighbor’s pit bull, known as Red, came charging at them in an aggressive manner, barking and growling. Hadley told police that the dog has a reputation of running loose and for attacking small dogs in the neighborhood. As the dog charged toward him and his dogs, Hadley drew his handgun and fired one round at the pit bull, which was within 10 feet of him. The dog went to the ground. Hadley notified the dog’s owner, Kimberly Hamilton, of the incident. According to police, she took her dog to a veterinarian’s office for treatment. The bullet did not strike a vital organ. As a result of this incident, Rowan County Animal Control declared the pit bull to be a dangerous animal. Chief Rory Collins said witness corroborated the information given by Hadley. Information on the status of the dog was not available. The ethics office declined to comment Tuesday. The letter to lobbyists sought information on individuals who attended fundraising events and made campaign contributions, along with any related written documents. The information request, first reported in The Hill newspaper, requested information covering fundraising dating back to January 2009. But the offices of lawmakers told the AP of the December time frame. The preliminary review determines whether a full investigation will be initiated. However, the Office of Congressional Ethics, run by a board of non-lawmakers, can only recommend actions to the House ethics committee. The ethics committee is composed of House members and decides whether lawmakers violated standards of conduct.

Preservationists seek to raise 2.6M to reconstruct Fort STATESVILLE — Historic preservationists announced a campaign Monday to raise $2.6 million to reconstruct an 18th Century fort that was the site of a battle in the French and Indian War. If they’re successful, Fort Dobbs State Historic Site supporters will help mark the first time in a generation an important piece of North America’s history will be completely reconstructed on the original site. “Visitors will stand on the same spot people stood 250 years ago and see what has not been seen since the 18th century,” Bill Haley, comprehensive interpretive plan designer, said in a press release. This year is the 250th anniversary of the Battle at Fort Dobbs. It is North Carolina’s only French and Indian War historic site. Supporters announced the $2.6 million goal Monday for private funds to be used in rebuilding the fort and landscaping. Over the next six to eight years, additional public and private dollars will build interpretative buildings and shape the land to help visitors further experience the life of the 18th Century settler and the native Cherokee, the press release said. Haley has designed interactive displays at Stonehenge, Jamestowne, the Smithsonian and Valley Forge. His firm is currently working with Fort McHenry to tell the story of “Star Spangled Banner” composer Francis Scott Key. Haley’s work on the Fort Dobbs project was funded by a $150,000 federal grant from the Institute of Library and Museum Services. Situated on 31 acres of rolling hills and trees, the Fort Dobbs site already welcomes about 27,000 visitors each year. Supporters hope the reconstruction and associated projects will help make Statesville and Iredell County a national travel destination. Larry Gustke, researcher and associated professor for N.C. State University’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management projects it could attract 125,000 visitors, support more than 400 jobs and pump $21 million into the local economy. “I am confident that the Fort Dobbs you envision today will be the Fort Dobbs of tomorrow,” Linda Carlisle, sec-
retary of the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources, told more than 125 supporters gathered at Statesville’s Marquee Cinemas for Monday’s announcement. “We are in this with you.” Speaking after re-enactors in 18th Century soldier costumes began the event with a drumroll and presentation of arms, Carlisle said 40 percent of travelers who visit North Carolina are “cultural heritage tourists” who spend more money and stay longer than other vacationers. Those are just the kind of tourists Fort Dobbs Historic Site attracts, and who supporters say would come from all over the nation to see a reconstructed Fort Dobbs. “We believe Fort Dobbs is our chance to leave a legacy here. This isn’t a company that will relocate somewhere else. It’s a lasting, living entity that will shape our lives and the lives of our children,” said Dave Grogan, capital campaign chairman and Friends of Fort Dobbs board member. “This is the only complete restoration of a French and Indian War fort in North America. We have an opportunity here that people in other cities and other museums wish they had,” Fort Dobbs is one of only a few sites nationally that actively interprets this period of history. The fort served as headquarters for the military and a safe-haven for settlers during the struggle between English colonists and native Cherokee who were sympathetic to the French. The site currently houses a museum where visitors can view artifacts found there and see a scaled replica of the original Fort Dobbs. “The reconstruction will be a big draw for visitors to come and not just see the building, but also its inner-workings and daily life of the soldiers. They’ll be able to smell the fires cooking and see the beds that soldiers would sleep on. It’s going to be a very powerful experience,” said Scott Douglas, Fort Dobbs site interpreter. Fort Dobbs Historic Site is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.

Rowan residents walk 50 miles to raise money for MS society Six Rowan County residents joined more than 150 people from North and South Carolina June 4 to walk 50 miles in three days to raise money for the Mid Atlantic Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Terry Carter, Shelley DiDonato, Anne Jory and J.D. Lefler, all of Salisbury, Beth Prymock of China Grove, and Lisa Rhodes of Rockwell
took part in the walk. The 10th anniversary Challenge Walk MS event, held in Gaffney, S.C., was expected to raise $350,000 to fund MS research and services for the nearly 8,000 people living with MS in the Carolinas. Multiple sclerosis, the number one disease causing disability in young adults, is a chronic, unpredictable and often disabling disease of
the central nervous system that interrupts the flow of information from the brain to the body. MS affects more than 400,000 people in the U.S. and over 2.1 million worldwide. There is no cure, but events like the June 4 walk help fund advances in research and treatment. For more information about multiple sclerosis, visit www.nationalMSsociety.

Salisbury Postmaster Dean Fields presents Carlene Davis with the 2009 Safe Driver of the Year Award from the National Safety Council.
POSTAL FROM 2A
Shuffler acknowledges her Oldsmobile station wagon isn’t great on mileage but its roomy and has a working air-conditioner, important on weeks such as this one. Mid-Carolinas District Manager David C. Fields Sr. presented the Million Mile Club awards to Eudy and Shuffler. The U.S. Postal Service District takes in 400plus offices, roughly from Wilmington to Asheville, and Fields said more than 5,000 carriers are on the roads each day. Shuffler and Eudy are the ninth and 10th mail carriers in the expansive district to receive the Million Mile Club award in 2010. They are now eligible to
compete for Joseph M. Kaplan National Safe Driver of the Year Award, to be presented by the National Safety Council later this year. Salisbury Postmaster Dean Fields, no relation to the district manager, presented Salisbury mail carrier Carlene Davis with the 2009 Safe Driver of the Year Award for the office. Davis, a 34-year veteran, also is a member of the Million Mile Club. “It’s a big deal, a great honor,” Fields said of the Driver of the Year recognition. The Salisbury Post Office also has been recognized by OSHA as one of the agency’s three safety “stars” in the district for its recertification through the Voluntary Protection Program. A “star’’ rating is the highest OSHA gives.

Perdue: N.C. ready on off chance oil hits East coast RALEIGH (AP) — Gov. Beverly Perdue told legislative and local government leaders Tuesday that North Carolina is prepared in the event that any oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico defies the odds and reaches its coastline. At a briefing about the state’s emergency management response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, Perdue assured officials that the state is fully prepared in the rare event that spilled oil hitches a ride on ocean currents and makes its way up the Eastern seaboard. “If the loop current does catch hold of the spill, then North Caroli-
na is prepared to deal with whatever comes our way,” Perdue said. “We have no reason to believe that it will be anything at all like we’re seeing on television now in the Gulf Coast states.” A computer model released a few weeks ago by the National Center for Atmospheric Research showed that oil leaking from the blown-out well off Louisiana could enter the Gulf’s loop current and the Gulf Stream and reach North Carolina shores by early next month. Perdue and other state officials said that if oil did reach the state it would probably be in the form of tar

The state has had an oil response plan in place since the Exxon Valdez spill in the late 80s, said Gerald Rudisill, chief deputy secretary of the N.C. Department of Crime Control and Public Safety.

A R O U N D T H E S TAT E DuPont agrees to $59K settlement over pollution KINSTON (AP) — Industrial giant DuPont has agreed to pay a $59,000 penalty for mercury discharges at a North Carolina plant. The federal Environmental Protection Agency said Tuesday the settlement relates to the company’s polymer fiber manufacturing facility in Kinston. The EPA says discharges at the plant exceeded permitted levels of mercury for eight months between September 2008 and March 2009. A DuPont spokesman says the company inherited the problem from the site’s previous owner and worked to fix it when it was discovered. Stan Meiburg is the EPA’s acting administrator for the region that includes North Carolina. Meiburg says the settlement underscores the importance of the federal permitting process in protecting the water supply from dangerous chemicals like mercury.
‘Crafty’ gorilla prompts N.C. Zoo to review exhibit ASHEBORO (AP) — The North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro has temporarily closed its gorilla exhibit after one of the apes nearly made a break for it. Zoo spokesman Tom Gillespie says a branch from a tree fell into the exhibit Sunday. One female gorilla tried to use the branch as a ladder to climb out of the exhibit, but she didn’t make it. The exhibit remained closed Tuesday as staff horticulturists checked nearby trees for loose limbs. Zoo officials think the branch came down after being weakened by a storm Saturday.
Group lobbies to end N.C. govt bargaining ban RALEIGH (AP) — School bus drivers, cafeteria workers and custodians are among the public employees who want North Carolina to change a state law banning collective bargaining for government employees. The school workers on Tuesday joined representatives of the state’s labor unions and workers’ rights groups to call on the General Assembly to repeal the 51year-old law. North Carolina forbids state and local governments from entering into collective bargaining deals with their employees. Virginia is the only other state with such a ban. North Carolina had the lowest union membership rate in the country in 2009 at 3 percent of workers.
Police arrest 4 in protest of school policy RALEIGH (AP) — Police arrested four civil rights activists who staged a demonstration to protest a North Carolina county school board’s decision to end a busing program. Multiple media outlets reported Tuesday that four activists were arrested after disrupting a meeting of the Wake County Board of Education in Raleigh. Those arrested include state NAACP leader the Rev. William Barber. A woman who answered the phone at NAACP headquarters Tuesday would not
comment. A Raleigh police spokesman said he didn’t have firm details about the arrests. The activists were protesting the board’s decision to end a busing program aimed at promoting economic diversity in North Carolina’s largest school district. The protesters say the new policy will effectively resegregate Wake schools.
Ex-Marine gets 100 months for threatening Obama WILMINGTON (AP) — A federal judge has sentenced a former Marine based in North Carolina to 100 months in federal prison for threatening President Barack Obama. The U.S. Attorney in Raleigh said in a news release that 20-year-old Kody Brittingham was sentenced Monday. Brittingham was charged with making threats against the president-elect. The Naval Criminal Investigative Service found a map of the Capitol, Internet searches for “Inauguration Day” and photos in Brittingham’s barracks locker. Brittingham was administratively separated from the Marine Corps following a December 2008 arrest on a charge of attempted armed robbery at a Jacksonville hotel. The U.S. attorney says Brittingham’s sentence in the threat case included time related to the armed-robbery.

Martha Wheelock said the city is using a preliminary figure of an extra $20 per month for premiums for employees who use tobacco. The move continues a trend of trying to keep down costs overall, Wheelock said. “We as a city have talked about smoking in particular for a number of years, at least internally, and I think we’re ultra-sensitive to the topic given where we live and the roots of our city,” she said. Winston-Salem is the home of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., the second-largest tobacco company in the country. Testing has found that 14 percent of the 3,600 covered city employees and retirees use tobacco products. But the percentage likely is higher because not everyone took the test, Wheelock said. It’s not certain how much the city will save, she said. Employees likely will be tested annually for nicotine, Wheelock said. “It’s a little harder to quit than they think,” said Mickey Ferguson, a heavy-equipment operator for the streets department and a smoker. The city will again offer smoking-cessation classes to employees, and it started paying for anti-smoking aids last year. Jeff Goins, a technician in the city’s parts department, was in the first round of classes, and they helped him kick the habit for 4.5 months.

GREENSBORO (AP) — Mop-up duty continues at the scene of a massive gasoline tank fire in North Carolina, where workers are removing what’s left of more than 2,200 gallons of foam used to extinguish the blaze. The News & Record of Greensboro reported that a spokesman for Georgiabased Colonial Pipelines said Monday the foam is being held in a retaining pond. Colonial owns the tank farm in Greensboro. Authorities say the fire started early Sunday afternoon from a lightning strike. The fire temporarily closed stretches of Interstates 40 and 73 through Greensboro. The 52,000-gallon tank was 51 feet tall and 80 feet wide. It burned about halfway to the ground. It held about 20,000 barrels of gasoline, but the company removed about 7,500 barrels from the tank through underground pipes during the blaze.
DURHAM (AP) — A North Carolina green-energy company is holding a public forum to drum up interest in federal legislation that could help its business. Durham-based Cree Inc. and the Environmental Defense Fund are hosting a clutch of speakers on Tuesday morning who hope to drum up support for the American Power Act. The legislation was introduced in the U.S. Senate last month and aims to cut pollution blamed for global warming, reduce oil imports and create millions of energy-related jobs. Cree makes energy-saving lighting that could benefit if coal-fired power plants and other large polluters face new regulations. Cree vice president Greg Merritt says enforcing targets for energy efficiency and renewable energy will help create opportunities for new technology innovation.
Lighting up to cost more for WinstonSalem workers
Record-breaking fish caught in marlin tourney
WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — Employees of a North Carolina city that’s home to one of the nation’s largest tobacco companies will have to pay more for health insurance if they smoke cigarettes or use other tobacco products. City employees will have to pay more beginning in January unless they take a test to prove they have no nicotine in their bodies, the Winston-Salem Journal reported Tuesday. In addition to paying more, employees who smoke or use other tobacco products will be eligible only for the city’s basic health-coverage plan and not for a plan under which the city covers more costs. Assistant city manager
MOREHEAD CITY (AP) — A record-breaking fish has been caught in the annual Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament in North Carolina. The Daily News of Jacksonville reported Capt. Eric Holmes on the boat Citation brought the 883-pound marlin to the docks shortly after 7 p.m. Monday. The catch broke the record of 831 pounds set in 2000 by Summtertime Blues out of Kiawah Island, S.C. The Hatteras-based Citation earned a bonus of almost $319,000 for being the first boat to bring in a marlin weighing more than 500 pounds. If its catch stands as the biggest of the week, the boat will win almost $913,000.
when the oil will stop leaking. The emergency management division is to provide Perdue with an updated response plan by June 21. “We have not been sitting and waiting around for the oil spill to come our way,” Rudisill said. Attendees were briefed on the Gulf cleanup efforts by the U.S. Coast Guard and told about the area contingency plan in North Carolina that establishes a command structure and booming strategies in case of an oil disaster. Another issue discussed was coastal tourism. There hasn’t been a mass cancel-
lation of hotel rooms due to the spill, said Lynn Minges, assistant secretary for tourism marketing and global branding for the N.C. Department of Commerce. “Since the chances are so slim that we will be impacted, we are optimistic that it will be a strong season for summer travel,” Minges said. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day about $1.4 billion is spent by visitors to the state’s coastal region, she said. “We don’t want it to affect tourism,” said Jimmy Tate, the county commissioner for Pender County, home to Surf City and Topsail Beach.
Army Special Forces at Fort Bragg changing command FORT BRAGG (AP) — The man who oversaw the start of the largest expansion of the Army’s Special Forces in history is leaving the command as the war in Afghanistan becomes more deadly and the outcome is unclear. Maj. Gen. Michael Repass will turn over command of about 10,000 Special Forces soldiers, also known as Green Berets, to Brig. Gen. Ed Reeder in July as part of a normal rotation of commanders. Repass’ two-year oversight has included the shift from Iraq to Afghanistan. In the last few months, the Taliban has ramped up attacks against troops. So far this month, 44 international forces have been killed in Afghanistan, 27 of them American, putting June on pace to be one of the deadliest months in 2010. The situation in southern Afghanistan is murky, prompting lawmakers to call Gen. David H. Petraeus, head of the Central Command, to Capitol Hill this week to discuss the slow progress of NATO offensives in Helmand and Kandahar. “We’ve got two years to turn things around in Afghanistan,” said Repass, who is moving to Germany to become commander of Special Operations Command Europe. “That is the political patience that is out there.”
U.S. reliance on Special Operations forces has been steadily on the rise since the 2001 terrorist attacks. Repass’s term included managing the start of a plan to add more than 2,000 soldiers by 2013. That will also allow Special Forces members to spend more time at home between deployments. Repass said Special Forces are operating in 47 countries, including Afghanistan. His teams are focused on the “disconnected world,” meaning countries in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. “We don’t go to places where there is a highly developed economy and everybody is getting along nicely,” Repass said. Nowhere is that more true than Afghanistan, where his units are in high demand because they are trained to work closely with local leaders to undermine the Taliban insurgency. Special Forces teams are playing an important role in President Barack Obama’s revamped strategy to surge troops into Afghanistan and partner with the Afghans to destroy the Taliban and build a stable government. A prime example is the Village Stability Operations program. Special Forces units in Afghanistan are ex-
panding the program of putting units in rural villages to make it harder for Taliban and other insurgent groups to find safe haven. The villages get assistance to improve infrastructure development, governance, and security that they can take back to their village. Col. Don Bolduc, commander of the combined joint special operations task force in Afghanistan, told the Associated Press last month that the program has expanded to almost 10 villages in the southern, eastern and western provinces of Afghanistan since September. “The enemy recognizes that this is a serious threat to them,” Bolduc said. “This is about mobilizing the populace.” Repass said Special Forces has done village stability work under different names in the past. He said the program will work well at the local level, but connecting the villages to the central government will take time. “I think it is reasonable to say that there is a lot of room for improvement in Afghanistan now that we’re resourcing it and making it the priority mission,” Repass said. “I regret leaving it at the time I am leaving because I see unfinished business out there.”

Best Buy shoppers spend less than expected for quarter NEW YORK (AP) — Best Buy shoppers spent less than expected this spring, contributing to a rocky first quarter for the chain and disappointing Wall Street, but executives said the weak results don’t mean Americans have less of an appetite for electronics. The company’s profit edged up 1 percent but fell far short of what analysts were expecting. Best Buy stock tumbled 6 percent. Company executives pointed out Tuesday that the first quarter makes up just 10 percent of Best Buy’s annual revenue and expressed confidence in Americans’ demand for products such as phones and computers.
Stocks see broad gains; Industrials, tech climb NEW YORK (AP) — Industrial and technology stocks pulled the market sharply higher Tuesday after Boeing Co. said it was boosting production and an industry group forecast that demand for computers would increase. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 213 points to its highest close since May 19 and had their third advance in four days. Major stock index-
es rose more than 2 percent. The advance was broad, but came on light trading volume. That’s a sign that many traders are staying out of the market while they wait to see if stocks will keep moving higher after weeks of erratic trading. Industrials made some of the biggest moves following upbeat news from Boeing Co. and Illinois Tool Works Inc.
Boeing rose 4.1 percent after increasing production of the 737 jet. Boeing said customers are adding to existing orders and placing new ones. ITW rose about 2.5 percent after it raised the lower end of its fiscal second-quarter earnings target. More good news on industrials came from the New York Federal Reserve, which said regional manufacturing

WASHINGTON (AP) — Homebuilders are feeling less confident in the recovery now that government incentives for buyers have expired. Their pessimism could drag on the economy, which may not benefit so much from the job creation that construction typically generates throughout various sectors. The National Association of Home Builders said Tuesday its housing market index fell to 17 in June, sinking five points after two straight months of increases. It was the lowest level since March.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve adopted new rules Tuesday aimed at protecting credit card customers from getting socked by lofty late payment charges and other penalty fees. The rules respond to public and congressional outrage over practices by credit card companies. They bar credit card companies from charging a penalty fee of more than $25 for paying a bill late. They prohibit credit card companies from charging penalty fees that are higher than the dollar amount associated with the customer’s violation. They also ban so-called “inactivity” fees when customers don’t use the account to make new purchases and they prevent multiple penalty fees on a single late payment. The rules take effect on Aug. 22.
Swiss parliament approves U.S. tax deal on 2nd try GENEVA (AP) — The Swiss parliament on Tuesday approved a treaty with the United States that will hand thousands of files on suspected tax cheats to U.S. authorities, but obstacles remain that could delay the deal for several more months. The government hopes the agreement will eventually end UBS AG’s three-year battle with U.S. tax authorities that culminated in revelations the bank had for years helped American clients hide millions of dollars in offshore accounts. Under the treaty that was painstakingly crafted by Bern and Washington last year after months of negotiations, Switzerland has agreed to divulge the names of 4,450 UBS clients suspected of tax evasion.

Homebuilders less confident in recovery
LONDON (AP) — British Sky Broadcasting on Tuesday rebuffed a buyout offer from Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. that values the company at 12 billion pounds, or $17.7 billion, but said it was willing to back a sweeter bid. News Corp., which owns The Sun and The Times newspapers in London, is already BSkyB’s biggest shareholder with a 39 percent stake. Murdoch’s son, James, is BSkyB’s chairman. Independent directors said News Corp.’s informal offer of 700 pence per share was too low. They say they would have backed an offer above 800 pence, which would value the company at about 13.7 billion pounds.

FUNDING FROM 1A
would develop the property in a certain time frame or the county would purchase it back. The funding was designated by commissioners for that purpose, but the board plans to vote to undesignate it during Monday’s regular meeting. “Would it helpful if we went through all the other items and see what we have left?� Coltrain asked. Ford said it might, but Tuesday’s straw votes would be used to simply direct county staff, and they could be changed at Monday’s meeting if commissioners felt the need. “I personally don’t have any intention necessarily to spend all of the $1.7 million,� Mitchell said. “Once we reach the end of the list, that’s what it is.� Mitchell’s motion to increase RSS funding by $190,000 was approved 3-2, with Barber and Coltrain voting against. At Monday’s meeting, school system representatives said they may have to eliminate 117 more positions, along with other cuts, if the county could not come up with half
of their $3.1 million funding gap. The school board had said it would fund the other half. At Monday’s budget workshop, Ford called a recess until Tuesday after discussions about school funding became heated. Barber and his fiancee, school board member Karen South Carpenter, became upset with Commissioner Tina Hall after she brought up Carpenter’s travel expenses and questioned numbers provided by Rowan-Salisbury Schools finance director Tara Trexler. Hall said after Carpenter confronted and yelled at her during a recess, Hall asked County Manager Gary Page to call a sheriff’s deputy to the room and later was escorted out of the building by the officer. Two officers sat in the back of the room at Tuesday’s meeting. “(Carpenter) was out of control and very confrontational,� Hall said after Tuesday’s meeting. “Normally, when there’s law enforcement, you don’t have to worry about people losing their composure.� Hall also said she did not intend to call into question Trexler’s integrity or truthfulness, and she
thinks very highly of Trexler. Also at the meeting, the board tentatively: • Withdrew the county’s membership from the Centralina Council of Governments, with Barber and Coltrain voting to remain in the group. • Continued its membership in the Charlotte Regional Partnership after a presentation by RowanWorks director Robert Van Geons. • Approved an additional $49,848 in funding to maintain RowanWorks’ current operating budget. Hall and Ford voted against it, saying they didn’t support increases in such a tight budget year, but Ford also said his opinion on this item could change. • Approved an additional $1,500 for the Chamber of Commerce. Hall and Ford again dissented. • Rejected Page’s recommendation to decrease the early tax discount from 1.5 to 1 percent in July and from 1 percent to 0.5 percent in August. Page said the decrease was a business decision that has been made before. The county normally invests the money it receives in early taxes, but at interest rates of less than 1 percent, it now loses money on the discount. But
SALISBURY POST Mitchell and Hall said reducing it would amount to a tax increase. Coltrain was the only commissioner to vote for the recommendation, saying it made financial sense. • Agreed to privatize the county’s airport maintenance, saving $50,000 in the coming budget year. • Approved a $20,000 requested increase to Rufty Holmes Senior Center, continuing what was originally a one-time allocation this fiscal year. • Allocated $75,000 to replace the roof at the Rowan Museum and possibly make other repairs. Total repair costs for the roof, boxing eaves and exterior wall painting and stucco would be $150,000. Mitchell moved to provide half that amount, and Page said he would make it go as far as he could. • Allocated $69,449 to hire two Child Protective Services employees at the Rowan County Department of Social Services. That number represents 45 percent of what the new positions cost — the rest would be paid by the state. • Approved a $138,100 request — the county’s share of close to $500,000 — for another imaging system for DSS. Commissioners said the first system has increased
efficiency and effectiveness at the department, and it also has saved office and storage space. • Did not fund a $226,000 request to upgrade the miniature golf course at Dan Nicholas Park. Coltrain made a motion to accept the request, saying the course needed to be ADA compliant and the upgrade would generate revenue, but he failed to get a second. Mitchell said, “I have no doubt that the project is a good one, but unless the redesigned course can guarantee me — and only me — a hole in one with every shot, I won’t be able to support the motion on the floor.â€? • Agreed to leave the county vehicle maintenance department as it is. Page had suggested either privatizing vehicle maintenance by eliminating the position of the current mechanic, Johnny Love, or moving him to a better-equipped county facility. At the first budget workshop, commissioners agreed that they didn’t want to let the mechanic go, and the upfront costs to move his operation would be too great. • Heard an update on a request from the Rescue Squad which had been withdrawn.

Department because they’re bringing justice,� Constance Edwards said Tuesday evening shortly after the first arrest in the death of her husband. “That’s one down. We’ve got two more to go, and they’re trying their hardest — we all are — to get this solved because not only will it bring peace to me, but to my kids, the family, period.� The charges stem from a crime in the early hours of May 27. Around 12:45 a.m. that Thursday morning, officers responded to a 632 Barlow Ave. to investigate a reported home invasion and shooting. Constance Edwards said three men forced their way into the house. The first one in wore a black jacket with a hood pulled down around his face, the drawstring at the bottom cinched tightly. Neither of the two who followed hid their faces. Charles and Constance Edwards and their three children were asleep. When Charles Edwards heard the men breaking in, he went to confront them. “He was coming out of the bedroom,� Constance said. “They didn’t give him a
er Gary Page had looked at to compare public school funding — Rowan, Cabarrus, Alamance, Catawba, Davidson, Randolph, Forsyth, Iredell and Caldwell — Rowan’s funding is the lowest. At $619 per full-time student, it is also significantly lower than the $845 state average. In North Carolina, the state is responsible for funding academic programs at the community colleges, and the counties are responsible for funding the buildings and related maintenance. The proposed 2010-11 budget keeps per-pupil funding steady but increased the college’s appropriation by $150,000 — or 8 percent — to keep up with rising enrollment. “Have we got any feel for what funding going to be from Cabarrus County?� Commissioner Jon Barber asked. Spalding said the funding per square foot was about the same as with Rowan, and the college wasn’t asking for as many increases from Cabarrus. The buildings on the South Campus are newer, she said, and aren’t in such disre-
pair. Commissioner Tina Hall asked if the college board had considered presenting their needs to the voters in a bond referendum. “If we do a bond issue, we thought we would want to do it looking at the needs of the community college looking 10 to 15 years ahead,� Spalding said. “We wouldn’t want to do it just to patch up what we have.� As commissioners and staff continued to discuss the issue with Spalding, though, the possible solution of a bond referendum kept coming up. “I think it’s pretty clear from our perspective that we don’t have $3.884 million to fix these pressing needs, some of which are going to be significant safety needs in the very near future,� said Commissioner Chad Mitchell. Mitchell asked Spalding if there would be enough time for the college to present its case to the voters before its walkway and other problems became urgent safety issues. “It’s possible, and we certainly would consider it,�
survey, which is slightly different, is solicited at random. One of the questions asks participants to rate possible names, which are: Presbyterian Hospital Rowan, Presbyterian Medical Center Rowan or keep Rowan Regional Medical Center. The other questions involve which name invokes a hospital with the best nursing care, the most advanced technology and the friendliest staff.
There is also a place for additional comments that could include other name options. Jones said when Rowan Regional joined with Novant in 2008 it was not required to undergo a name change. “The board asked that we be able to retain the name and Novant agreed,� Jones said. The initiative was brought up by the board with some discussion last year.
“This started in planning meetings in the first of 2010,� he said. Some people received emails Tuesday. Once all of the surveys are submitted to the research firm they will tally the results. After the planning committee has seen the results, the results will go to the board for a full vote. “The whole process could take six to nine months,� Jones said.
chance to say nothing before he was shot.â€? She heard three gunshots. Her husband had been shot in the head and arm. He was hospitalized and died the following Tuesday. After the shooting, the two men who hadn’t tried to hide their faces ran out the back door, she said, while the one wearing the hood put a gun to her head and took her room to room looking for something. He then stole a cell phone and money from her wounded husband’s pocket. Constance Edwards said she didn’t recognize the men. But she believes her husband may have. She moved to Kannapolis after they met and said her husband “kept a lot of friends. A lot of people knew him. I believe they knew him and he knew them.â€? She believes Culbertson is the man who shot her husband, she said. He was one of the two who ran out the back door. Culbertson was arrested Tuesday by members of the Kannapolis Police Criminal Investigation Division. Police are still searching for the two other intruders. The other suspects are described as: • A black male, approximately 5-foot-8 with a thin to medium build and light com-
plexion. He wore dark or black clothing. • A black male, 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-8, with a thin build and dark complexion. He also wore dark or black clothing. Constance Edwards said she’s been staying with relatives since the shooting. She hasn’t been able to return to her house and probably won’t as long as the other two suspects remain at large. While reliving that night and worrying about her family’s safety, she’s had to mourn the loss of her husband. “We miss him so much,â€? she said, “and he just did not Artist rendering of suspect wanted in Kannapolis homicide. deserve this.â€?

she said. Page brought up the county’s successful efforts to convince residents to approve a quarter-cent sales tax to fund an upcoming jail annex and radio system. He suggested that the community college make the same kind of effort. “If their enrollment is up 25 or 30 percent, a lot of those are displaced parents and older workers,� Page said. “It’s not just for the kids, it’s for the whole community. If they could explain that to voters, they might have a chance.�
Chairman Carl Ford asked why these urgent needs had not been brought to commissioners sooner. “What’s happened at RCCC in the last decade or more that... somebody dropped the ball?� he asked. Spalding replied that the college didn’t have a lot of money to spend, and the college board was trying to be frugal by asking commissioners only for what they truly needed. Also, she said, this past harsh winter took a large toll on many structures.

At Tuesday’s continuation of their budget workshop, county commissioners voted unanimously to fund two roof replacements for Rowan-Cabarrus Community College. The Rowan County Board of Commissioners also agreed not to fund the construction of a $359,000 second elevator — or any of the community college’s other requests for additional funding — at this time. Representatives from the community college had presented RCCC’s needs to commissioners Monday and answered their questions. The college’s biggest concern, Dr. Carol Spalding said Monday, is replacing the failing elevated walkway — built in 1974 — on the North Campus. The replacement, including a new elevator to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), would cost nearly $2 million. A second requested elevator to meet ADA compliance would cost an additional $349,000.
The current elevator, she said, is too small to fit even some larger motorized wheelchairs. If they can’t use the elevator, disabled students then have to move all around campus on a series of ramps in order to get to the next class. “We sometimes have to send an e-mail saying the elevator’s not working, and that’s not good,� Spalding said. Other requests included replacing two leaking roofs for $250,000 and $200,000, replacing seven air handlers and one boiler for $260,000, replacing deteriorating stairs and adding an ADA compliant ramp for $395,000, and replacing deteriorating fire exit stairs for $435,000. Commissioner Raymond Coltrain asked Spalding to prioritize the requests, which totaled nearly $3.9 million. “The first thing we would do is the roofs,� Spalding said. “As they leak, they ruin everything underneath them.� Spalding also presented a comparison of county funding per community college full-time student.

vember 2002 to tour the high school property. The state specialist thought the building could qualify then, but it wasn’t until Hood was commissioned years later that things got serious. Qadirah, Spencer, Brown and Mary Jane Fowler helped in the review of Hood’s final draft late last year. The Price National Alumni Association raised funds for the nomination process that were matched by Salisbury philanthropists Ed and Susan Norvell. Historic Salisbury Foundation recommended Hood, a historian from Vale, who was successful in other Salisbury nominations. “I said, ‘We hope your touch is still good,’” Qadirah says, recalling her first meeting with Hood. Now that Price High School in on the National Register, Qadirah says fundraising for the building will continue through the alumni association’s foundation, whose contributions also go toward scholarships. “People are still wanting to be involved,” Qadirah says. “... The idea is, it’s (also) a preservation fund.” The National Register approval is important, agrees Brown, Price High Class of 1962. “It makes it easier for us to raise money to do what we need to do,” he says, noting that while the old school buildings are structurally sound and surprisingly intact, there’s still a lot of work needing to be done, “and I don’t know how we’re going to do it in these economic times.” Hood’s research shows that the black community was desperate for a high school through much of the 1920s and into the early 1930s. The Dixonville and Monroe Street schools for black students were overcrowded, forcing many students to attend in halfday shifts. For example, in the mid to late 1920s, black student enrollment was at 928, but the city provided only 20 classrooms between the two schools for all grades.
Alumni association convention this weekend The J.C. Price High School National Alumni Association will hold its biennial convention reunion Friday and Saturday in Salisbury. A “commemorative reception” will be held from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday on the front lawn of the former school in the 1300 block of West Bank Street. The reception will celebrate Price High School’s recent listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Several city, state and national officials are expected to attend the Saturday festivities, along with more than 100 Price alumni from across the country. J.C. Price High School opened in 1932 and was a focal point for the black community through the 1968-69 school year before integration. Other reunion events this weekend include the following: • Registration from 1-5 p.m. Friday at the Holiday Inn. • A fish fry, 5-8 p.m. Friday, at the Holiday Inn Pavilion. • A dance, 8-10:30 p.m. Friday, at the Black Box Theater, 405 N. Lee St., with music by Divided by Four. • A general membership meeting, 11 a.m. Saturday, at the Holiday Inn. • The Scholarship dinner/dance, 6 p.m.-midnight, with music by Moecom.net and DJ Maurice.

Hood says “important original fabric remains in place in nearly every space,” down to “Sibley” commodes, original chalkboards and bookcases, wood paneling, wainscoting and ceramic tile floors. The 586-seat auditorium retains the greatest degree of integrity, Hood says, with its plan, finishes and furnishings all intact. The property is cityowned, and parts of the old school are still used by the Salisbury-Rowan Community Action Agency and Head Start.

J.C. Price (1854-1893)
(The J.C. Price High name was first used at the Monroe Street School from 1923-31, although it included grades 1 through 11.) School board minutes from October 1925 reported “alarming conditions” at Salisbury’s “colored schools,” and things became so intolerable in the black community that a delegation went to the school board in October 1929 demanding a new school. The State Literary Fund eventually supplied a $30,000 loan, and the Rosenwald Fund provided a $5,300 grant, the largest in North Carolina during the 1931-32 school year. The Rosenwald Fund also contributed $600 for the library and $300 for equipment. According to Hood’s research, the school cost $38,689, plus an additional $3,719 for its original 6acre lot, bought from the Partee family. Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears Roebuck & Co., incorporated his fund in 1917 to help with black school construction, but his help predated that incorporation. Over its life, the fund supported the construction of 5,357 schools, shops and “teacherages” in the United States, including 813 in North Carolina — the most of any state. Rosenwald died the same day — Jan. 6, 1932 — that the Salisbury Post celebrated completion of Price High School with a front-page story. Rosenwald’s fund was discontinued after his death. On inspecting the new Price High Jan. 5, 1932, John J. Blair, state director of school planning, described it as “very beautiful indeed.” “In fact,” he said, “it is one of the best I know of in the South.” The school was dedicated on the rainy night of Feb. 15, 1932, and more than 300 students started school there the next day. The rain had made “new roadways leading to the school almost impassable for blocks away,” the newspaper reported. Salisbury Mayor B.V. Hedrick told the large crowd gathered, “You may rest assured that the city fathers will build you a good street into this place at once.” Price High School is essentially four buildings. The original design — amazingly, the school was built in just three months at the end of 1931 — was based loosely on one of the Rosenwald model plans but was larger at 14 rooms. Brown says the central hall — the spine through the school — was long enough and wide enough to accommodate proms before a gymnasium was added. Architects Barbee and

Running on Empty
To burn more fat, some experts say skip breakfast before workout BY MARIA CHENG Associated Press
LONDON (AP) — Running on empty may not be such a bad idea after all. Though many athletes eat before training, some scientists say that if you really want to get rid of more fat, you should skip the pre-workout snack. Several studies suggest exercising while your body is low on food may be a good way to trim excess fat. In a recent paper, European researchers found that cyclists who trained without eating burned significantly more fat than their counterparts who ate. Muscles usually get their energy from carbohydrates, which is why athletes like Lance Armstrong and Michael Phelps scarf down enormous amounts of food before a race. But if you haven’t eaten before exercising, your body doesn’t have many carbohydrates in reserve. That forces it to burn fat instead, scientists say. “When you exercise (after fasting), your adrenaline is high and your insulin is low,” said Peter Hespel, a professor of exercise physiology at the University of Leuven in Belgium. “That ratio is favorable for your muscles to oxidize (break down) more fatty acids.” Hespel said that people who exercise without having eaten burn more fat than they would if they had grabbed a bite beforehand. In a study published in April, researchers at the University of Birmingham and elsewhere assigned seven people to cycle three days a week, followed by an intense session an hour later without eating. Another seven people followed the same regime, without the instruction to fast. Though members of the group that didn’t eat performed worse on the intensive training, they burned a higher proportion of fat to carbohydrates than the group that ate. The results were published by Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, the journal of the American College of Sports Medicine. In a 2008 study, Hespel and colleagues tested the effects on men who did endurance training without eating versus those who ate. In the athletes who hadn’t eaten, the researchers found a spike in the amount of proteins needed to process fat, meaning their bodies had been primed through fasting to burn more fat. Hespel recommends people do this kind of training be-

But if you haven’t eaten before exercising, your body doesn’t have many carbohydrates in reserve. That forces it to burn fat instead, scientists say. fore breakfast, since eating carbohydrates interrupts the process of metabolizing fat for about six hours afterward. Though he and colleagues have primarily studied the effects of exercising without eating in young, healthy people, he thinks the method could also help people with problems like diabetes. Because exercising without eating produces muscles that are better at absorbing glucose — which is important for preventing diabetes — Hespel theorized the strategy would also help diabetics control their insulin levels. Other experts said that even though people may burn more fat this way, it is mostly fat within the muscles that will be lost and won’t make a big difference to people try-
ing to lose weight. “When you exercise (without eating), fat is broken down more quickly in the muscle,” said Andrew Greenberg, director of the Obesity and Metabolism Laboratory at Tufts University. “You may enhance how you burn the fat in the muscles, but it doesn’t affect your overall body fat,” Greenberg said. He said more intense exercise may prompt the body to burn more fatty acids in other regions of the body, but that a lot of training would be required to see a big difference. For recreational athletes interested in maximizing their exercise regimen, some experts recommend a regular training session where you deliberately do not eat
beforehand. “Science is finally catching up with what smart runners have always known,” said Ron Maughan, a professor of sport, exercise and health sciences at Loughborough University in Britain. “If you have a long, hard run without breakfast once a week, that hard run will train you to burn fat,”he said. “And for the rest of the week, have plenty of carbohydrates so you can train hard.” Maughan cautioned against doing too much exercise on an empty stomach. “That might help you get very good at burning fat, but you won’t be very good at whatever exercise it is you’re doing,” he said. “Without enough fuel, you won’t get the intensity of training you
need to get improvements.” Others were more skeptical and said people shouldn’t exercise without having at least a small snack first. “I think it’s actually a pretty bad idea,” said Dr. Alexis Chiang Colvin, a sports medicine expert at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York who has worked with professional football and hockey teams. “If your blood sugar is low, you could wind up getting dizzy and you might not be able to exercise as well as if you were well-nourished,” she said. Colvin recommended having something small like a banana before training. She also warned the strategy might make people more prone to injury and that eating was important so the body would have enough nu-
trients to recover from a bout of exercise. Hespel acknowledged the method wasn’t for everybody and that aside from the pain of struggling through an exercise session while hungry, there are other potential pitfalls. “When you postpone breakfast to exercise, it is possible you might eat more afterward,” he said. “People exercising (without eating) need to respect all the normal strategies of weight control like not overeating.” Daniel Kobbina, a personal trainer who also runs a martial arts school in London, said the method requires discipline — but it works. “If you train on an empty stomach, you’ll see that sixpack a lot sooner,” he said.
Tomatoes, squash, cukes and peppers available now BY SUE DAVIS

Colorful and delicious are the only two words needed to describe what you will take home from the Farmers Market. Local tomatoes in many shades of reds and yellows are available. Squash and cucumbers in all shades of greens and yellows are rivaled by the multi-hued peppers. The differing hues of the same vegetable may make little difference in taste, but when used together they add color to the table or plate. Dawn’s Greenhouse has red and white organic garlic. Correll Farm has large white softneck garlic and garlic braids ready. Try the garlic roasted as a spread on a piece of bread. Wild Turkey Farms has packages of seasoned pork to use when seasoning a pot of green beans, greens or other favorites. Saturday, Heather from
Posh Pasta will demonstrate cooking pasta dishes with peppers, onions, tomatoes, squash and garlic. You can also learn how to make smoothies and bruschetta.
Meet baker Kris Turco Kris, of How Sweet It is!, enjoys visits with her regular customers from the past 17 years and welcomes new ones. Her cinnamon buns, harvest muffins and flat breads topped with cheese, tomatoes, spinach and onions are customer favorites, but Kris’ favorite thing to make is pie. When asked about the time it takes to mix and roll the crusts, Kris turns reflective. She says her fondest memory of childhood is working with her grandmother in the kitchen, where she gained a love for making pies. Many of her recipes come from her grandmother. Now she shares her knowledge with
her grandson, Riley, who likes to roll his own pile of pie dough. Time will teach him when to stop rolling, she hopes. Kris doesn’t bake on Sunday and takes a bit of time each day to read fiction. The rest of the time she bakes for the market and special orders. During busy times at the market you may find her husband, Mike, or one of her daughters helping out. The Farmers Market allows you use Food Stamps, WIC and Senior Vouchers and to make a credit card or debit card purchases. For more information about the Farmers Market visit www.salisburyfarmersmarket.com. The Farmers Market is located in downtown Salisbury at the corner of South Main and Bank streets. Visit the Farmers Market on Wednesdays from 7 a.m. until 1 p.m. and Saturdays from 7 a.m. until noon.

• Gifted grocery-shopper. I use a credit card at the grocery store, but I found this easy way to stay within my budget: With my credit card, I purchase a grocery store gift card on the first of every month. I limit the amount on the gift card to my set grocery allowance for the month, minus about $50 to allow me to take advantage of sales at other stores. Each time I make a purchase, my receipt tells me how much is left on my gift card for the month. Sometimes, I have a little left over to use the next month, and sometimes I have to stop shopping a few days early. But I always know how
much is on my card. — Patti W.,
• Guilt-free spree. I shop on Amazon.com for books, and I’ve given myself a strict budget for shopping there. When I shop online, I fill my cart with treasures, ignoring my budget. Then, I walk away. Later, I come back and delete the ones I decided I don’t need. I tell myself that I am free to purchase anything I want, so long as I don’t go over my limit.

• Rainy days. Frugal peo-
ple are often well prepared. This means they’re frugal before an emergency arises. This makes situations such as a major home or car repair, medical bills or job loss a bump in the road and not a major financial crisis. They are accustomed to living within and even below their means. One reader, Vail from Washington, shares: “My husband and I got to keep our lovely house (by the skin of our teeth) because we were frugal before he got laid off for 10 months! I don’t think we could have made the switch to frugal and saving fast enough if we’d only started when there was a problem.” • Uniqueness. Most everyone buys brand-new retail products. Sometimes new products are inferior to their old-fashioned counterparts. Secondhand shopping can often yield high-quality, lesscommon vintage items that can become family heirlooms. It’s the greener choice, too. So you save money and help reduce waste. As a bonus, secondhand shopping is fun! • Productivity. Frugality is proactive living. Your free time isn’t idle time. You add
to your skill set on a regular basis. You enjoy lifelong learning to help yourself and others. Another reader, Liane shares: “There are many benefits to being frugal. Money in my pocket and no fear in the pit of my stomach. A car that I paid for sits in my driveway. My daughter can play sports and do activities. Our bills are all paid before they are due. Learning new skills that save so much money. Making detergent is saving me at least $150 a year. Having the means to stock up and share food with those in need. Growing our garden and getting to pick dinner in the backyard. This also keeps me out of the produce section for awhile. More free time to do what I want to do and not what I have to do. Being frugal does not just benefit me, it benefits my family and ultimately my community. We donate our time and food, and our footprint is smaller. People may laugh, but I am happy and free.” • Less is more. Less spending can mean more saving or paying off debt.

Some thought the video for “Can’t Be Tamed” was too provocative, and others have criticized her for revealing too much skin in her outfits. Cyrus admits to being partial to shorts and hot pants.

It’s not like this was me five years ago. It’s me now, presently.” Maturing is Cyrus’ current mission. She’ll finally shed the blonde wig of her Disney pop star persona, “Hannah Mon-

Then Cyrus will be free to embrace her solo stardom and sex appeal. “When you’re 11, the word you would use to describe someone is definitely not sexy, and as you get older I think you grow into that.

Frugal: The benefits of learning to embrace frugality Frugality can seem like a lot of work. Some people have decided that it’s simply not worth the effort. Maybe they haven’t thought it through. Those of you who are frugal, know that you’re not deprived and that it doesn’t require a lot of extra time. The benefits of frugal livSARA ing outweigh NOEL the sacrifices and time spent. For example, many families are staying home more often. They’re cooking more meals and eating together, spending less money on entertainment, and getting back to the basics of sharing quality time. Cutting back is boosting appreciation for many things that were previously taken for granted. This isn’t deprivation. This is the good life.

Dear Amy: My husband and I are devout Catholics. We have chosen to protect the innocence of our 7-year-old son by not educating him about the “facts of life” until he hits puberty. We have told him that the Virgin Mary puts a baby on your doorstep if you pray for one. He is in a Catholic school, so we don’t have to worry about “sexual education.” My sister knows about our choice, but she does not approve of it. She is pregnant. Recently, she wore a “Baby on Board” T-shirt when visiting. Our son asked about it, but I did not know what to tell him! What should I do if a problem like this arises in the future? — Worried Mom
tial element of the drama of Jesus’ birth that he was born of a human mother? In the biblical version of “Baby on Board,” wasn’t Mary “great with child” when she and Joseph stumbled into Nazareth? A baby isn’t a newspaper, left on the doorstep by an omnipotent delivery person. All animals and humans give birth to babies, and even if you don’t want to explain how babies are conceived, it is both truthful and religiously defensible to tell your son that babies grow inside their mother’s bodies (or “tummies”) until they are born. If you want to fabricate the story of how they got there, go for it.

Dear Devastated: When your husband confessed his infidelities and insecurities, he transferred some of his issues onto you. Beyond your hurt and pain, the reality of your situation is that just as your husband made choices that affected your marriage, so can you. You may want to separate for a period to get some clarity about what you want. You may need to stop handling things so well and dig into the messy reality of being vulnerable, angry and sad. You will see that trust is a choice you make to be in a faithful relationship with another person. Your husband should do whatever you need him to do to prove to you that he is worthy of your trust. And then one day, to stay in the relationship, you’re going to have to take the leap and choose to trust him.
Your marriage will never be the same. But in some ways, it could improve because you two will have been to the brink and back.

R116745
Dear Amy: Over the past several months I’ve learned that my husband has had two affairs. Through couples counseling, we have learned that his affairs were about his own unhappiness with himself. The counselor made it clear that his choices were out of convenience and have absolutely nothing to do with me. He claims to now love ASK me more than AMY ever because I’m handling this devastating event so well. I love him dearly and really don’t want to break up our marriage but find myself completely unable to let him be close to me again or get the images of these women out of my head. I have read several books on this subject, and most of them say it takes a long time. But I find myself with walls up all around me. I’m fearful that this horrible thing will happen again.

COMMISSION FLARE-UP
Cool off, move on C
alm, collected leadership in government is always at a premium — and never more so than in our current travails. As the country haltingly emerges from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, Rowan County is facing one of the most difficult budget environments in recent memory. The county is looking at dipping deeper into its fund balance while reducing service hours at libraries and parks. The school system is looking at a $3 million funding gap. Plus, it’s an election year, which inevitably ratchets up emotions. Given the environment and the fact that public officials often disagree on budget issues, it’s no surpise that exchanges might get a bit testy — especially when you’ve already been talking for almost four hours. However, the flare-up that occurred at Monday evening’s county budget workshop involving Commissioners Tina Hall and John Barber and school board member Karen South Carpenter wasn’t the sort of heated but healthy exchange that’s part of productive debate. Rather than a budget workshop, it was more an example of how not to conduct government business. The clash began when Hall raised questions about previous school board expenditures for travel and other items, including a trip to San Diego by a school board member (Karen South Carpenter, who was in the audience). Barber interrupted to ask if Hall knew why the trip to San Diego had been scheduled. Later, when Hall had yielded the floor and Barber was explaining why Carpenter took the trip (a conference about the evaluation process for superintendents), Hall interjected, “And she is your ...” “What’s her being my fiancee got to do with this?” Barber asked. As this point, Chairman Carl Ford wisely called for a recess and, after a few words with Barber and Hall, suspended the meeting to the following day. This was not a shining moment for anyone involved. Hall has a right to question or criticize school expenditures, but bringing Barber’s relationship to Carpenter into the discussion was inappropriate at best. Barber also had a right to respond to Hall, but he shouldn’t interrupt colleagues when they have the floor (as he acknowledged). Carpenter’s later outburst against Hall also wasn’t exactly taking the high road, although she did apologize afterward. Feathers sometimes get ruffled, and business goes on as usual. Eventually, as Ford noted, “cooler heads prevail.” Let’s hope that’s the case going forward. As we head into the long, hot summer with potentially stormy budget decisions in the forecast, cool heads and clear thinking are definitely needed.

Moderately confused
Mining Afghanistan’s future W
ASHINGTON — Amid all the dark news from Afghanistan, every now and then a sliver of light slips through the cracks. Afghanistan, it turns out, is rich in minerals. Trillions rich. It’s going to become the Saudi Arabia of lithium, they say. Thanks to vast stores of that resource, plus iron, copper, cobalt and gold, this impoverished, war-torn nation could become a wealthy nation. No more wars, no Taliban, no heroin, no Osama bin Laden. Too good to be true, KATHLEEN right? PARKER The deposits are real enough, but the question remains: Can a country without mining infrastructure and populated by people who’ve never known prosperity or possessed the collective memory of self-direction (70 percent of Afghans are under age 30) put its resources to constructive use? Although the potential is “stunning,” according to Gen. David Petraeus, the sidebars and footnotes to this heartening story are full of caveats and “yes, buts.” There’s also potential for corruption, for fights between the central government and the provinces, for conflict along the Pakistan border where some of the richest deposits are located, and for a resurgent and enriched Taliban. Moreover, turning deposits into a functioning mining industry will take decades. But speculation naturally leads to the hope that Afghanistan could begin to fund its own reinvention and liberate other nations, notably us, from that burden. The key, it seems, lies in educating the rising generation of Afghans — in the liberal arts, as well as in the technologies needed to advance this new economic potential. There is hope there, too, not least because of the American University of Afghanistan (AUAF), the nation’s only private, nonprofit university. The school was launched with the help of a substantial grant from the United States Agency for International Development and built on 48 acres in Kabul. Instruction commenced in 2006, and the first class graduated last month. Today the school has 500 students, 20 percent of them women, and hopes to expand to 800 next year and to 2,000 in five years. Most Afghans can’t afford the tuition — 70 percent receive financial aid — and are being educated in large part through American donations. Some of those donors attended a dinner in Washington recently to hear from students and to honor former
first lady Laura Bush for her support of the university. A new fundraising project is under way for the Laura W. Bush Women’s Resource Center, which will be the cornerstone of a new library and student services building with classrooms, conference space and an auditorium. And you thought all she did was sit and smile. The dinner, held at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, was attended by many of those who have worked in the private sector to help bring opportunity to Afghans, especially women. In attendance were C. Michael Smith, university president; Leslie M. Schweitzer, chair of the Friends of the AUAF; Said T. Jawad, Afghanistan’s ambassador to the United States; and Caroline Hudson Firestone, who has dedicated herself to helping Afghan women and is the author of “Afghanistan in Transition,” to name but a few. It was one of those events familiar to Washingtonians where philanthropists and government officials convene to sip wine and, if the spirit moves the crowd, to write checks. If inspiration is the lubricant that compels luckier Americans to share prosperity, then this particular evening was rich. The highlight was the testimony of five students who trekked from Afghanistan to report on the results of American generosity. More than once, they urged the audience: “Don’t feel sorry for us, be there for us.” Each spoke variously of escaping the Taliban, losing family members, living as refugees in Pakistan. All spoke of feeling safe on the campus, of free speech, of open dialogue with professors and mutual respect — all miracles we take for granted. But one young woman stood out. Masooma Habibi, a graduate of Goldman Sachs’ “10,000 Women” program at the AUAF, founded an Internet-related consulting business in Kabul and employs nearly two dozen. Her head covered, she spoke softly in somewhat halting English. The AUAF is “like a dream,” she said. When Americans educate an Afghan, “you are playing with life, so thank you.” We knew just what she meant. It seems at times too much to hope that Afghanistan might ever become a stable country, where men and women could lead prosperous, peaceful lives. The key to that kind of future clearly lies in education. There's more to mine in Afghanistan than minerals. And there’s gold in these students. • • • Kathleen Parker’s e-mail address is kathleenparker@washpost.com.
Politicians are never off camera From talkingaboutpolitics.com blogger and political consultant Gary Pearce, commenting on the videotape that shows N.C. Congressman Bob Etheridge angrily confronting two men who had approached him with a video camera: The worst wounds in politics are self-inflicted. And Bob Etheridge has delivered himself a doozie of a boo-boo. Getting caught on tape looking like a bully is not helpful in an election year that already looks toxic for incumbents. But Etheridge can survive this. He made a good start by apologizing on camera. He gave the media a competing video clip. He put contrition up against anger. And he’s lucky on two counts: It’s June, not October. And he’s running for re-election, not the U.S. Senate. (Remember when the DSCC courted him?) In time, we’ll get the rest of the story about the guys who made the clip. As Etheridge asked, “Who are you?” And “who are you working for?” But let this be a lesson. In politics, you’re always on — on camera and on the record. In a YouTube world, anybody can be the media, and anybody can be an — unintended — media star. Suddenly, like Etheridge, you become famous for one minute of anger and frustration, not 14 years in Congress, eight years as state education superintendent, four terms in the state House and a stint as a Harnett County commissioner.

She needs a camera ambush: “Do you fully support the Tea Party agenda?”
ig Brother Is Watching You” was a pervasive propaganda punch line in British writer George Orwell’s classic novel “1984.” Orwell, one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, was also a committed socialist. Unlike many on the left, however, he had powerful personal involvement with working people, in part because he was one. His socialism stressed egalitarianism, while remaining hostile to concentrated state or corporate power. Orwell’s conARTHUR cerns are timeless, CYR and should be shared by everyone committed to individual freedom. Very current news in British politics and American business underscore the importance of citizen vigilance against abuse by very concentrated power, whether public or private. The leaders of Britain’s new government, Conservative David Cameron and Liberal Democrat Nick Clegg, have wisely pledged to repeal a national identity card program initiated by the previous Labour government. A card microchip linked to intimate data would have facilitated bureaucratic snooping. Meanwhile, amid launch of the latest iPhone, Apple’s leader Steve Jobs has given particular emphasis to protecting customer privacy. Internet companies face tremendous temptations to do the opposite. A wag once suggested that “1984” was really about 1948, a reference to the Stalinist dictatorships ruling in Eastern Europe as well as the Soviet Union when the novel was published. The Cold War had just emerged, and to many people the Soviet Union and allied communist parties around the world seemed the political wave of the future. The unprecedented military menace represented by Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan and their allies had just been defeated, at enormous human cost. Intense anti-communism seriously distorted domestic politics in the United States and the wider society intellectuals accused of left-wing views found their careers restricted, and in some cases destroyed. Very visible blacklisting of Hollywood screenwriters became a symbol of this widespread repression. Young University of California instructor David Saxon, later president of that institution, was fired because he refused to sign a loyalty oath. A partial antidote to such abuse is open economic competition. Britain has never had Big Brother, but the effects of Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s “Big Bang” deregulation of the financial system, and wider economy, have been important in facilitating freedom while promoting economic growth. Her heavy-handed style earned her the occasional sobriquet of “Big Sister,” but the reform was crucial to Britain’s economic growth, and reassertion of international influence, starting in the 1980s. A similar process unfolded in the U.S., beginning in the Carter administration and carried much further during Ronald Reagan’s White House years. The financial crises of the past decade, facilitated in part by deregulation gone too far, somewhat overshadow the durable beneficial consequences of this economic freedom. This in turn brings focus to Steve Jobs’ recent public statement. Apple has just passed Microsoft in total capitalization, a major accomplishment for a firm that was floundering before cofounder Jobs returned. Products that facilitate freedom, along with ease of use and aesthetic appeal, are now major Apple marketing themes. Meanwhile, competitor Google grapples with embarrassing accusations that extensive information on individuals has been collected. For example, Google Earth cars driving through random neighborhoods captured specific data from unsecure wireless outlets in unsuspecting households. Google’s recent display of courage in resisting China’s heavy-handed information control is therefore particularly helpful for the firm, as well as generally laudable. In our fascinating, fantastic information revolution, Cameron, Clegg and Jobs deserve special commendation. That’s because Big Brother is not watching you. Not yet. But he’d like to. • • • Arthur I.

Scientists now say ruptured Gulf well is leaking between 1.47M and 2.52M gallons of oil a day
DENVER (AP) — An American man has been detained in the mountains of Pakistan after Pakistani authorities found him carrying a sword, pistol and night-vision goggles on a Rambo-style solo mission to hunt down and kill Osama bin Laden. Friends and family say construction worker Gary Brooks Faulkner is a devout, good-humored Christian who has traveled widely in that part of the world. The 51-year-old Faulkner, who has a lengthy arrest record and served time in a Colorado prison, arrived June 3 in the town of Bumburate and stayed in a hotel there. He was assigned a police guard, as is common for foreigners visiting remote parts of Pakistan. When he checked out without informing police, officers began looking for him, according to the top police officer in the Chitral region, Mumtaz Ahmad Khan. Faulkner was found late Sunday in a forest. “We initially laughed when he told us that he wanted to kill Osama bin Laden,” Khan said. But when officers seized the weapons and night-vision equipment, “our suspicion grew.” He said the American was trying to cross into the nearby Afghan region of Nuristan.
Most people dissatisfied with Obama on oil spill WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans have become just as dissatisfied with President Barack Obama’s work on the Gulf oil spill as they were with his predecessor’s handling of Hurricane Katrina, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll released Tuesday. Even so, the catastrophe appears not to have taken a toll on how Americans view the president overall. Obama’s approval rating remained steady in the poll and he is more popular than President George W. Bush was two months after the hurricane. Bush alone took the hit in public perceptions. In the spill, much anger is steered at BP, and the poll suggests Americans do not feel quite the sense of shame that afflicted them in the 2005 hurricane aftermath. Still, Obama and his administration have struggled to contain the environmental disaster in the Gulf and now, it seems, to convince people that the government is acting effectively. Most Americans are angry about the government’s slow response, the poll finds, with 54 percent saying they had strong feelings about the bu-

Lightning strike destroys Jesus statue in Ohio
Democrats criticize lawmaker who says Obama favors blacks
MONROE, Ohio (AP) — A six-story statue of Jesus Christ was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, leaving only a blackened steel skeleton and pieces of foam that were scooped up by curious onlookers Tuesday. The “King of Kings” statue, one of southwest Ohio’s most familiar landmarks, had stood since 2004 at the evangelical Solid Rock Church along Interstate 75 in Monroe, just north of Cincinnati. The lightning strike set the statue ablaze around 11:15 p.m. Monday, Monroe police dispatchers said. The sculpture, about 62 feet tall and 40 feet wide at the base, showed Jesus from the torso up and was nicknamed Touchdown Jesus because of the way the arms were raised, similar to a referee signaling a touchdown. It was made of plastic foam and fiberglass over a steel frame, which is all that remained Tuesday. The nickname is the same used for a famous mural of the resurrected Jesus that overlooks the Notre Dame football stadium.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats on Tuesday denounced an Iowa Republican congressman who says President Barack Obama favors blacks over whites, and a GOP candidate from Colorado canceled a fundraiser the Iowan was to keynote. Rep. Steve King, known for sometimes incendiary remarks about immigration, Abu Ghraib and other issues, criticized Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder, who also is black, in an interview Monday on G. Gordon Liddy’s nationally syndicated radio talk show. “I’m offended by Eric Holder and the president also, their posture,” said King, 61. “It looks like Eric Holder said that white people in America are cowards when it comes to race.” King continued: “The president has demonstrated that he has a default mechanism in him that breaks down the side of race on the side that favors the black person in the case of professor Gates and officer Crowley.” He was alluding to last year’s incident in which Obama commented on a white police officer’s arrest of a black professor from Harvard University.
Arizona wants to deny citizenship for immigrants’ babies PHOENIX (AP) — Emboldened by passage of the nation’s toughest law against illegal immigration, the Arizona politician who sponsored the measure now wants to deny U.S. citizenship to children born in this country to undocumented parents. Legal scholars laugh out loud at Republican state Sen. Russell Pearce’s proposal and warn that it would be blatantly unconstitutional, since the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the U.S. But Pearce brushes aside such concerns. And given the charged political atmosphere in Arizona, and public anger over what many regard as a failure by the federal government to secure the border, some politicians think the idea has a chance of passage. “I think the time is right,” said state Rep. John Kavanagh, a Republican from suburban Phoenix who is chairman of the powerful House Appropriations Committee. “Federal inaction is unacceptable, so the states have to start the process.” Earlier this year, the Legislature set off a storm of protests around the country when it passed a law that directs police to check the immigration status of anyone they suspect is in the country illegally. The law also makes it a state crime to be an illegal immigrant. The measure, which takes effect July 29 unless blocked in court, has inflamed the national debate over immigration and led to boycotts against the state.

Flight attendant helps land plane to Chicago CHICAGO (AP) — Officials say a flight attendant who has a pilot’s license helped land a plane at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport when a co-pilot became ill. American Airlines spokeswoman Mary Frances Fagan says the co-pilot of a flight from San Francisco to Chicago on Monday became ill. Fagan says the flight’s pilot then checked if any offduty airline pilots were on board. A flight attendant told the captain that she is a commercial pilot and he asked her to fill in as a first officer. The plane landed safely. Officials say the first officer’s condition was not serious. He was treated at a local hospital and released.

Pet waste removal worker finds $58 packed in dog poop ST. LOUIS (AP) — This is why your mother says to wash your hands after handling money: A St. Louis worker found $58 — packed in dog poop. Steve Wilson works for DoodyCalls Pet Waste Removal. On a recent call, he noticed money sticking out from doggie doo. Wilson wasn’t sure what to do, but eventually pulled out the bills, sanitized them, placed them in a plastic zip-locked bag and returned them to the customer. It turned out to be $58. The company said the money was torn, but the serial numbers were identifiable, which means the bills could be returned to a bank and replaced with new money. The Association of Professional Animal Waste Specialists says Wilson is the first person in his profession to find and report money in dog poop.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Scientists provided a new estimate for the amount of oil gushing from a ruptured well in the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday that indicates it could be worse than previously thought. A government panel of scientists said that the ruptured well is leaking between 1.47 million and 2.52 million gallons a day of oil. That is an increase over previous estimates that put the maximum size of the spill at 2.1 million gallons per day. “This estimate brings together several scientific methodologies and the latest information from the sea floor, and represents a significant step forward in our effort to put a number on the oil that is escaping from BP’s well,” Energy Secretary Steven Chu said in a statement. The latest numbers reflect an increase in the flow that scientists believe happened after undersea robots earlier this month cut off a kinked pipe near the sea floor that was believed to be restricting the flow of oil, just as a bend in a garden hose reduces water flow. BP officials has estimated that cutting the kinked pipe likely increased the flow by up 20 percent. The pipe was removed so BP could install a containment cap that is trapping leaking oil and drawing it a ship waiting on the ocean surface.

water and sewer rates increase every year. The third incident happened Tuesday, Woodson said. “Today a man came to talk with me,” he said. “He said, ‘I want the truth. You told me three to four years ago I couldn’t use the water, now you’re telling me I can use the water.’ “Here’s the truth. Our water department is a business. We have an abundance of water. We are a business and we must sell water.” Woodson said everything on the budget was fine to him, “except for the raising of the water rates,” he said. “I don’t think we should raise it this year. I would have to vote against the budget. “I have no problems with the way the city’s run, but I do have a problem in going up every year.” Several people attending the council meeting clapped for Woodson after he made his case against the rising water and sewer rates. “We had a very comprehensive explanation yesterday from Mr. (Jim) Behmer and our city manager,” Mayor Susan Kluttz said following Woodson’s statements. “We spent over an hour just on this particular issue and the costs that are associated that have all been rising in that department. “I don’t feel that we have a choice.” Maggie Blackwell said she notified her neighbors in Fulton Heights, asking them to take a walk with her Monday to discuss the rising rates. “Most understood the need for some increase,” she said. Blackwell said she also solicited input on the rising rates to her friends via Facebook, and there was no opposition. Councilman Brian Miller had a greater concern that the rising prices for water and sewer. “The thing that bleeps out to me is the thing that’s called the cost coverage ratio,” he said. “I understand that there are people in our community that can’t afford to water their grass. But, we have to make sure we maintain a situation where our revenues on our utility exceed our cost.” Miller said he didn’t “discount” any of Woodson’s con-
stem the leak. The sad episode has raised doubts about his leadership and his administration’s response to what Obama has called the nation’s worst environmental disaster. He spoke from the Oval Office while seated at the storied Resolute desk, a bank of family photos and an American flag filling the backdrop. A president sometimes criticized as lacking emotion, Obama talked in a calm tone, no sign of the anger he showed earlier in the week concerning the spill. In one specific action, Obama announced former Justice Department inspector general Michael Bromwich as his choice for the new head of the agency that regulates the oil industry. Obama said Bromwich’s job at the helm of the federal Minerals Management Service is to “the oil industry’s watchdog, not its partner.” He also said that coming regulatory reforms would require stricter drilling safety measures and more robust spill response plans. With national frustration rising, Obama sought to defend his increasingly criticized efforts and to stoke new confidence that he can see the job through until the oil is gone and Gulf Coast lives are back to normal. He pledged not to rest until BP had been held accountable for all the damage its exploded well has caused and until the Gulf Coast region is restored. He did not repeat his earlier pledges to see the Gulf returned to “better shape than it was before.” Likening that process to a long epidemic instead of a single crushing disaster like an earthquake or hurricane, he warned that the nation could be tied up with the oil and its aftermath for months “and even years.” Said one spray-painted sign along the president’s Florida
motorcade route earlier in the day, as Obama capped a twoday inspection tour of the region: “Obama you are useless.” And yet, Obama’s overall approval rating has not yet dipped, remaining around the 50 percent mark. Further, the public still is far more eager to blame the company than the president, with the poll showing disapproval of BP up to 83 percent. On Capitol Hill, dominating the day before the president looked into the cameras from behind the storied Resolute desk, executives of the largest oil companies were grilled for hours by the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Lawmakers chastised chief executives representing ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips and Shell — as well as BPAmerica — for being no better prepared for the worst than BP. In sometimes-testy exchanges about the risks of seeking oil under a mile of water, the executives testified their companies would not have managed the Deepwater Horizon well in the same way, suggesting BP shortcuts led to the devastating outcome. Looking ahead to his White House showdown Wednesday morning with BP executives, Obama said he would “inform” them that the company must set aside in an independently run fund whatever resources are required to make whole all local residents and businesses hurt by the spill and to repair the immense ecological damage wrought by the oil. That meeting was to be followed by a presidential statement — his fourth planned remarks on the spill in three days. Later in the week, BP leaders take the Washington hot seat again, appearing before more congressional hearings.
cerns, however, said he was worried about the current cost average ratio of 1.17, and where it will go after rates are raised. “This particular budget actually impairs our cost coverage ratio,” he said. “We’re going from a 1.17, and our ratio will go down, even with a five percent increase. “It’s not responsible for us to not at least cover our expenses.” Councilman William “Pete” Kennedy agreed with Miller’s concerns, but voted in favor of the rate increases. “The water department gave us our trends and our challenges,” he said. “They said it (the rate) should be a little higher than 5.57. But I will support it.” Mayor Kluttz thanked Treme and the city staff for their preparation of a budget. “We came out better than most cities in North Carolina,” Kluttz said. “I know it was very difficult and there were many sacrifices made in the departments.” Treme said he felt like the budget met the needs and requests of the city council, “which were very difficult,” he said. “I think it’s a sound financial plan,” he said. “Hundreds if not thousands of hours went into this before you received it. Cuts were severe. “I did my very best.” Also on Tuesday’s agenda was the Empire Hotel, and the termination of its development contract with Empire Properties. “I’d rather not be here today delivering this message,” Executive Director of Downtown Salisbury Inc. Randy Hemann told the council. “I think most of us in this room understand that these are very difficult times in eh development world. Quite frankly, the way the economy is right now, the project is not going to move forward at this time.” Hemann said that despite the bad news, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. “We have changed our focus toward raising funds for revolving funds. And, the good news is, after 10 years of trying, we finally got the hotel. We still own the hotel.” Hemann said he showed the property last Friday to a developer, and to a different developer a few weeks prior. Councilman Miller said he was also not happy with the
current state of the project, but said the city and Downtown Salisbury Inc. are better off now than if the property had sold over a year ago. “This economic period we are in, it’s unprecedented in our lifetime,” he said. “My employer, BB&T, is willing to come into the loan pool as a partner, and we will also make a contribution to the project. “We’re going to figure this out. We’re going to keep working.” Mayor Kluttz expressed her discontent with the terminated contract. “I had been very excited about our plans,” she said. “We didn’t know times would change and they did.” She agreed with Hemann and Miller by saying the good news was that DSI still owned the property. “You all do such excellent work for us,” she said to Hemann. “We appreciate all the work you’ve done. So much work has gone on for so many years. “It’s a jewel in our downtown, there’s no question. If we have to wait for it to be done right, we’ll wait.” In other Salisbury City Council news Tuesday: • Salisbury Parks and Recreation Department has installed trail markers marking each tenth of a mile on the entire Salisbury Greenway. Four kiosks were also built in-house, saving the city thousands. • Doug Robinson and Frank Justin, both residents of West Henderson Street, petitioned the council to install four-way stops along Henderson Street. Justin gave the council 30 signed votes asking for multi-way stops, all residents on Henderson and immediate surrounding roads. • The council approved two zoning requests. The first rezoned 26 acres on Henderson Grove Church Road from light industrial (LI) to heavy industrial (HI). The second rezoned one-half acre with a residence, 721 Old Plank Rd., from urban residential to institutional campus. • The council issued a special use permit for the Salisbury Wine Shop, 106 S. Main St. • The council approved a lease contract to allow Duke Energy to place five antennae on a telecommunication tower located in Granite Quarry.

Obama declares in speech ‘reckless’ BP will pay Gulf cleanup WASHINGTON (AP) — Vowing to “make BP pay,” President Barack Obama accused the oil giant of “recklessness” in his first address to the nation from the Oval Office Tuesday night, eight weeks to the day after the catastrophic oil spill began destroying waterways, wildlife and a prized Gulf Coast way of life. “We will fight this spill with everything we’ve got for as long it takes,” declared Obama, whose own presidency has been stumbling because of the gushing oil. A new Associated Press-GfK poll even indicates as many Americans disapprove of his handling of the crisis — 52 percent — as felt that way about President George W. Bush’s handling of the Katrina aftermath. Obama offered no immediate remedies for a frustrated nation. Rather he announced he had asked former Mississippi Gov. Ray Mabus to develop a long-term Gulf Coast Restoration Plan — to be funded by BP PLC — in concert with local states, communities, fishermen, conservationists and residents “as soon as possible.” He did not detail what this effort — he called it a “battle plan” — should include or how much it might cost, a price sure to be in the billions of dollars. Whatever the bottom line, he declared to his prime-time television audience, “We will make BP pay.” That’s not certain, however. In declaring that BP won’t control the compensation fund for Gulf recovery, Obama failed to mention that the government won’t control it, either. The president meets BP executives in a White House showdown on Wednesday. Fifty-seven days into the crisis, oil continues to gush from the broken wellhead, millions of gallons a day, and Obama has been powerless to

finals to a decisive seventh game with a 89-67 victory over the Boston Celtics in Game 6 on Tuesday night. Ron Artest added 15 points for the Lakers, who stared down elimination by jumping to a 22-point lead during a dazzling first half. While limiting Boston to the second lowest-scoring performance in NBA finals history, the defending champions stretched the finals to the limit for the first time since 2005. A champion will be crowned Thursday night at Staples Center. Ray Allen scored 19 points for the
Celtics, who took an ugly pratfall on the verge of winning their unprecedented 18th title. It turns out their longtime rivals are still quite serious about earning their 16th championship. Two years after the Celtics ended the finals with a 39-point blowout of the Lakers in Game 6, Los Angeles turned Game 6 into a long nightmare for Boston. Only Utah’s infamous 54-point performance against Chicago in 1998 was worse than this offensive disaster, which included

Thomas hits 2 of Legion’s 3 home runs BY BRET STRELOW
bstrelow@salisburypost.com
ALBEMARLE — Cody Laws and Rowan 13 a c t i n g Stanly 9 coach Ross Steedley picked up wins in relief for Rowan County on Tuesday. Rowan used a combined three homers, six runs, eight hits and 11 RBIs from Luke Thomas and Noah Holmes to establish a comfortable lead in a 13-9 victory at Stanly County. Laws and Alex Litaker pitched e f fectively out of the bullpen for THOMAS the visitors, who took a seven-run lead into the ninth. Steedley, a catcher at Charlotte, worked with pitching coach Travis McSweeney as Rowan returned to action without Jim Gantt, who was ejected from a game Sunday. “A couple of guys were joking with me, and Gantt said, ‘Don’t come back with a loss,’ ” said Steedley, who aspires to be a coach when his playing days are over. “We won, so hopefully he’ll be happy to see us. “He said he was taking his wife out to eat dinner, but knowing him, I’m sure he was listening.” STEEDLEY Rowan (10-7, 5-4) trailed 3-1 after an inning and tied the game on Thomas’ two-run homer in the third. Thomas had struck out in his first at-bat. “I’ve been striking out a lot all season,” he said. “Second at-bat, I thought, ‘I’ve been doing that all season, so it’s not like I can do any worse.’ That first homer just gave me a lot of confidence.” The first four of six runs allowed by starter Parker Gobbel were unearned, but Rowan pulled ahead 9-4 with a five-run fourth. A bunt single by Justin Morris loaded the bases for Holmes, who lined a two-run single off first baseman Luke Turner’s glove. Thomas followed with a three-run homer to center.

Championship memories
In 1955, Rowan natives led Wake to national title BY MIKE LONDON
mlondon@salisburypost.com
There are times when humans are permitted a brief glimpse of the future, and Salisbury native Bob Waggoner, Wake Forest’s first baseman, knew what was going to transpire well before it actually happened. The time was June 10, 1955. The place was Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Neb. The weather was cold. Waggoner had been told to anticipate 100-degree temperatures, but bonechilling rain and hail pounded down after the fifth inning of Wake Forest’s opener in the College World Series against Colgate. Play was suspended for 78 dreary minutes. Most of the crowd departed, but the field was deemed playable after a generous sprinkling of sand. Colgate lefty Larry Bossidy mowed down the Deacons before and after the storm. It was still 0-0 when he walked Waggoner on a 3-2 pitch to start the eighth inning. Wake pitcher Jack McGinley’s sacrifice
bunt moved Waggoner to second base. As Waggoner stood on the bag, he thought about how no team had ever lost its first game in the double-elimination event and come back to win it. He also considered the perilous footing around third base and realized it would cost him a precious half-second if he had to try to score on a single. Then he saw the future. “It occurred to me any play at the plate was likely to be close because of the field’s condition, and it was likely any hit would be shallow because Bossidy had only given up one hit and their outfield was playing in,” Waggoner said. “I decided to try and knock the ball out of the catcher’s mitt with my foot, while sliding, if the ball arrived at the same time I did.” With two out, Luther McKeel dumped a hit over second base. The center fielder charged the ball, as Waggoner charged gingerly around the treacherous third-base bag and steamed

First baseman Bob Waggoner stretches for a throw.
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — The one shot that got so much attention during practice 10 years ago at Pebble Beach was a 4-iron that Tiger Woods hit so high, so straight, so flush that it landed softly near the pin on a brick-hard green at the par-3 12th. That wasn’t the case Tuesday at the U.S. Open. There is not much about Woods that looks the same as it once did. “Tiger!” he muttered to himself as his 4-iron sailed weakly to the left of the 12th green, closer to the gallery than the pin. On anoth- WOODS er chilly and overcast morning on the Monterey Peninsula, Woods hit two drives on the 13th — one left into a bunker, the other in the fairway — for his final shots of the day. His caddie retrieved the balls and followed Woods through an opening in the fence, into a van and back to the driving range. The course was too crowded, the practice round taking too long. Nothing is comparable, in so many ways, to the last U.S. Open he played at Pebble Beach. Ten years ago, Woods arrived at Pebble having won 12 times in the previous nine months. This year, he has finished only 13 rounds in the previous seven months. He was the overwhelming favorite in 2000, as he was at just about every tournament. This year, British bookmaker Williams Hill lists him as co-favorite with Masters champion Phil Mickelson at 8-1. The only thing particularly sharp about Woods was his tongue when a reporter asked about the status of his marriage. “That’s none of your business,” Woods barked back. If there is any comfort about this U.S. Open for the world’s No. 1 player, it’s his track record at Pebble Beach. He won the PGA Tour event in February with a five-shot rally in the final round, then sent shock waves through the golfing world with a game that was close to flawless. On a course in which no other player came close to breaking par, Woods finished at 12-under 272 to win by 15 shots. “That was really a wakeup call for a lot of guys,” said Ernie Els, who played in the final round with Woods that week. “A lot of guys started changing their game.”

Halladay hammered Associated Press Interleague capsules ... NEW YORK — Nick Swisher and the New York Yankees handed Roy Halladay a rare thumping, beating the Philadelphia Phillies and their new ace 8-3 Tuesday night in a World Series rematch. Mark Teixeira, Curtis Granderson and Swisher all homered off Halladay to build a comfortable cushion for CC Sabathia in a marquee pitching matchup that fizzled early. Brett Gardner laced a two-run triple in the second inning and the Yankees, who began the day tied with Tampa Bay for the AL East lead, won their ninth straight home game — the club’s best streak in its second-year ballpark. Sabathia (7-3) went seven innings, allowing five hits and striking out seven while winning his third consecutive start. Rangers 3, Marlins 2 MIAMI — Matt Treanor’s pinch-hit, tworun triple in the ninth inning lifted the Rangers to their sixth win in seven games. Josh Hamilton led off the ninth with a single and stole second before Justin Smoak popped up and David Murphy advanced him on a groundout. Julio Bourbon walked before Treanor’s hit off Leo Nunez (2-1). Neftali Feliz pitched a scoreless ninth for his 16th save in 18 opportunities. Mets 7, Indians 6 CLEVELAND — Johan Santana won for the first time in four starts. Santana (5-3) gave up four runs and seven hits over seven innings as the Mets won their fifth straight and ninth of 10, helped out by a nifty bit of baserunning by Jose Reyes. The left-hander fell behind early, and struck out only one, but earned his first win since beating the New York Yankees in another interleague game on May 23. Red Sox 6, Diamondbacks 3 BOSTON — David Ortiz homered, Dustin Pedroia scored three runs and Clay Buchholz had another solid start. Buchholz (9-4) allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk, striking out eight in 52⁄3 innings for his sixth win in seven starts. Jonathan Papelbon pitched the ninth for his 14th save. White Sox 6, Pirates 4 PITTSBURGH — Gordon Beckham drove in three runs and the Chicago White Sox spoiled former first-round draft pick Brad Lincoln’s first start at home, extending the lastplace Pirates’ losing streak to nine games. Ramon Castro doubled in a run while reaching base four consecutive times. Andrew McCutchen matched his career high with three stolen bases while getting three hits and a walk for Pittsburgh. Tigers 7, Nationals 4 DETROIT — Slumping Ryan Raburn hit his first homer of the season and drove in four runs. Raburn drew a bases-loaded walk in the second inning, then hit a leadoff single that started a two-run fourth to make it 4-all. He hit a three-run homer in the fifth.

Izzo says no Associated Press
The NBA notebook ... EAST LANSING, Mich. — Tom Izzo is staying at Michigan State, turning down a chance to coach the Cleveland Cavaliers and perhaps LeBron James. “I knew at the beginning that whatever decision I made would be a decision for life,” Izzo said during a news conference on campus. “I am going to be a lifer. This is what I’m going to be, and I’m damn proud of it.” For the past nine days, Izzo has been trying to decide whether to leave the place that has been his home since 1983 and jump to the NBA to perhaps make $6 million — doubling his salary — and possibly coaching one of the best basketball players in the world. “Just as I decided to stay home, I hope a 6-8, 270pound forward in Cleveland decides to stay home,” Izzo said in a statement released by the school. KERR OUT PHOENIX — Steve Kerr won’t return as general manager of the Phoenix Suns, despite building a team that made a surprising run to the NBA’s Western Conference finals. Kerr said at a news con-
ference Tuesday that reports of a contract disagreement with owner Robert Sarver were untrue. “This has nothing to do with money or contracts or anything like that,” he said. “This is a professional and a personal decision that I’m very, very comfortable with. My family’s excited about it, too.” NETS EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — An optimistic Avery Johnson has taken over as coach of the New Jersey Nets. Bringing a broad smile to a televised news conference on Tuesday, Johnson brought out all the cliches and boldly predicted that the Nets have the potential to go from the NBA’s worst team to the best. Johnson didn’t lay out a time line for turning around a team that won a league low 12 games last season. He insisted the “sky is the limit” with a couple of young talented players on the roster, the third pick overall in next week’s draft and a rich Russian owner who seemingly will spend money during next month’s free agent bonanza. WADE COUNTY MIAMI— Dwyane Wade is getting his own county.
NBA FINALS FROM 1B
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tom Izzo talks to youngsters about shooting the ball during his basketball camp. By unanimous vote, Miami-Dade County commissioners declared Tuesday that the area would be known as “Miami-Wade County” from July 1-7, a week that coincides with the start of NBA free agency. The resolution was written “in recognition of all that Dwyane Wade has done for the visibility, stature and national image” of the county. PARKER NEW YORK — For Tony Parker, this summer is a vacation. He didn’t rush from the Spurs to French national team duties. The star guard is skipping the world championships.
33 percent shooting and a 52-39 rebounding advantage for the Lakers. “We did a great job,” Bryant said. “We have to come with the same energy, the same dedication to defense (in Game 7).” Bryant grabbed 11 rebounds, and Gasol led the Lakers with nine assists in a remarkable bounce-back game for Los Angeles, which dominated from the opening minutes by vacuuming up rebounds and playing relentless defense. The Lakers’ bench largely took care of the rest, outscoring Boston’s reserves while the Celtics failed to make a run. “Our defense was good, our rebounding was better,” Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. “We had some good luck on some tips and offensive rebounds, and those things changed the course of the game.” These rivals have played a Game 7 four times in their 12 previous finals meetings, with Boston winning all four. But it hasn’t happened since 1984 — and it hasn’t happened to Bryant, who looks determined to stake his claim among the NBA’s greats in pursuit of his fifth championship. Bryant was a one-man band for much of the Lakers’ three-game stay in Boston, but Los Angeles was a symphony in Game 6. Gasol was a constant low-post presence and playmaker after disappearing for long stretches of the series, while Artest harnessed his wildly inconsistent jumper and hit three 3-pointers. With first lady Michelle Obama watching from a luxury box, the Lakers were on their best behavior — and the Celtics responded terribly to the chance to clinch a title. Paul Pierce scored 13 points and Kevin Garnett added 12, but the Celtics’ offense was a jumbled, stand-around mess. Rajon Rondo, the late-game hero in Boston’s last appearance in Los Angeles, got off to a 1-for8 shooting start before finishing with 10 points and six assists.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rajon Rondo reacts late in the second half. “I thought we’d play better, obviously,” Boston coach Doc Rivers said. “I thought we were ready. ... We played an individual game tonight on both ends. We never gave ourselves an opportunity offensively, because we never trusted each other. Everybody was out to make their own place.” After earning the NBA’s second-best road record during the regular season, the Celtics must win on the road again to avoid becoming just the third team to blow a 3-2 series lead in the 2-3-2 finals format. The Celtics lost starting center Kendrick Perkins in the first quarter to a sprained right knee when he landed awkwardly under the hoop, but his absence couldn’t explain the Lakers’ utter domination of the first half — a 30-13 rebounding edge while holding Boston to 34 percent shooting and frustrating Rondo. There hasn’t been a winner-take-all finals game since San Antonio finished off Detroit five years ago.

back Adrian Peterson will keep his driver’s license, after pleading guilty to driving 99 mph in a 55 mph zone. Peterson was pulled over in November on state Highway 62 in Edina. Authorities said they clocked him driving at 109 mph, but he said at the time that he didn’t think he was going that fast. CARROLL RESPONDS RENTON, Wash. — Pete Carroll says the NCAA had no basis for ’really harsh’ sanctions on the Southern California football program, reiterating he didn’t leave to escape penalties. Carroll answered questions Tuesday for the first time since the NCAA came down hard on USC, mainly for improper benefits received by former star rusher Reggie Bush during Carroll’s tenure. The new coach of the Seahawks says he was “responsible” as USC’s head coach, but that there was no way for him to know Bush was being wooed by an offcampus agent. PANTHERS CHARLOTTE — The Carolina Panthers have signed their first two draft picks, striking deals with sixth-round selection David Gettis and seventh-round choice R.J. Stanford. The 6-foot-3 Gettis is a receiver from Baylor who is expected to contend for a reserve spot and a role on special teams. The 5-foot-10 Stanford is a cornerback from Utah. He will compete for a job behind starters Chris Gamble and Richard Marshall and nickel back Captain Munnerlyn. Tuesday’s deals leave the Panthers with eight unsigned rookie picks, including quarterback Jimmy Clausen — a second-round selection.

The NFL notebook ... EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giants tested the turf at their new stadium Tuesday and had mixed results on the first day of their three-day mandatory minicamp. The Giants’ afternoon workout inside the New Meadowlands Stadium on Tuesday drew an estimated 7,000 onlookers. The new FieldTurf field at the $1.6 billion arena claimed wide receiver Domenik Hixon, whose right foot got caught in the soft surface on a punt return. Overall, the Giants considered the afternoon practice a success, despite the low fan turnout, which earlier in the day was expected to be about 30,000. Quarterback Eli Manning said getting a workout in the new stadium should help the team when they open the preseason against their coinhabitants, the Jets, on Aug. 16. “It was good to come out here and get a feel for the wind,” Manning said. “It gets us ready for the preseason games, regular-season games. We’ll be prepared.” GOODELL MEETING RENTON, Wash. — Saying he has “rededicated” himself to playing football and being a better person, Leroy Hill practiced with the Seattle Seahawks for the first time this offseason. The starting linebacker’s return on Tuesday came after a recent meeting with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to discuss Hill’s legal troubles. “Oh, man, I’m super happy,” the four-year starter said following his first practice since an arrest April 10 for investigation of domestic violence. “I’m with my teammates, playing football and everything. I’m happy to be back.” VIKINGS MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota Vikings star running

NEW YORK — Now that the Big 12 has survived the storm, the massive upheaval that many in college athletics have been bracing for seems far less likely. “I felt like there was either going to be very significant change or very little,” Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick said in a telephone interview Tuesday. “Now I feel like we’re trending toward relatively small change for the moment.’ A potentially huge change was averted Monday when Texas declined an invitation to the Pac-10. With the Longhorns committed to the Big 12, the rest of the league’s remaining teams fell in line and decided that life without Colorado (heading to the Pac-10) and Nebraska (off to the Big Ten) would be fine — and profitable. Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe held a conference call with reporters Tuesday and provided some details about how he went about saving his league. He also said something that might give a hint to where college sports is — or is not — heading in the future. “This process resulted in so many people in our business and our enterprise telling me that it would not be beneficial to what we do to have these mega-conferences,” he said. All this expansion angst started back in December when the Big Ten announced that it would explore the possibility and make a decision in 12-18 months. Commissioner Jim Delany and the Big Ten’s hierarchy seemed perfectly fine with taking their sweet time until Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott decided to raid the Big 12. “What was surprising was the effort on the part of the Pac-10 to go to 16 teams,” said Neal Pilson, president of the Pilson Communications media consulting firm and a former president of CBS Sports. “That was a tsunami that would have had serious consequences for
college football. The domino effect of doing that would have impacted the ACC, the Big East as well as the Big 12. “ Big East commissioner John Marinatto has to feel better than he did 48 hours ago, because if indeed there is another uprising in the works it could be his league fighting for survival. “The more we can maintain the status quo, the more we can continue to maintain the status quo,” said Nick Carparelli, senior associate commissioner in the Big East. With the Big 12 scrambling to decide which members were in and which were out, Nebraska said goodbye to that league and became the Big Ten’s 12th member. Delany has said the Big Ten might not stop at 12. But the league didn’t swoop in to save Missouri from a Big 12 collapse. If Delany is thinking along the lines of Scott, he’s going to have pry some teams from the Big East and maybe, finally, get Notre Dame to join the Big Ten. While just a few days ago anything seemed possible — Texas and Oklahoma in the Southeastern Conference! — the Big East being sacrificed for the Big Ten’s benefit does not seem likely. “I applauded Dan Beebe for not giving up and trying to put something together, something that might have a major impact on the future if intercollegiate athletics,” WAC commissioner Karl Benson said. Benson is in the market for at least one team these days, with last week’s departure of Boise State to the Mountain West Conference. Benson said he expects to invite one or two schools to the WAC this summer.. Meanwhile, Craig Thompson’s big move of landing Boise State in an effort to make the MWC the seventh conference with an automatic bid to the BCS, could lose some of its luster if the Pac10 plucks Utah from the Mountain West to complete a 12-team lineup and allow the Pac-10 to have a football championship game.

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. — The Nashville Predators have tapped into one of the NHL’s legendary families, signing the grandson of Bernie “Boom Boom” Geoffrion to an entry-level contract. Blake Geoffrion signed his deal Tuesday at the elementary school he attended in Nashville, making him the fourth generation in his family set to play in the league. Geoffrion helped lead Wisconsin to the NCAA title game, and he also won the Hobey Baker Memorial Award as college hockey’s top player.

NEW YORK — The golf cart will be ready to whisk Jimmie Johnson to the helicopter, which will be waiting to rush him to the plane. The four-time defending Sprint Cup champion has all the details covered in case his wife goes into labor while he’s at Sonoma this weekend. He and wife Chandra are expecting their first child next month. The baby is due during the break between the July 10 race in Chicago and July 25 in Indianapolis, but Johnson is prepared should he become a father early. Part-time Cup driver Aric Almirola is set to serve as an emergency fill-in if need be. Johnson just hopes he can drive at least the first lap of the upcoming races, because that would mean he’d receive any points the car earns. “That’s our first goal,” he told The Associated Press. “I guess there is a situation that could exist where I can’t be in the car for the first lap. My wife and I don’t want that to be the case.” Everybody else around them appears less worried. “The team seems to be very relaxed as of right now, and my sponsors, saying, ’Hey, you need to be there for the birth of your child,”’ he added. “So fingers are crossed, legs are crossed, toes are crossed. We’re trying to make sure we have a little luck on our side.” Johnson was in New York on Tuesday for Samsung’s Hope for Children banquet.

then. The next step for the Deacons was a best-of-three series on the road against Southern Conference champ West Virginia. That series is notable because Wake had its ace, Lefty Davis, on the mound and took a 7-1 lead to the ninth, with a chance to clinch the series, but West Virginia staged a rally for the ages. Wake still rebounded to win the third game and the series. Twenty-one hours after returning home, the Deacons were required to travel by rail to Winter Park, Fla, to take on Rollins, the 1954 national runner-up, for the district title. Wake swept Rollins to qualify for Omaha. The charter to Omaha on a twinengine DC-3 was the first flight for most of Wake’s wide-eyed players. “It was a bit disconcerting to look out the windows and watch oil from the radial engines flow back over the wings and out into the slip stream,” Waggoner said. Oklahoma A&M (later Oklahoma State) was favored to win the Series, but Waggoner’s slide in Game 1 kept Wake in the hunt.
Wake faced adversity. It had flown to Omaha without Davis, who was tied down in summer school. Authorities gave permission to Davis to fly to Omaha on a Saturday to pitch Wake’s second game in the Series, but that game was postponed until Sunday. When it got to play, Wake rolled 10-0 over Colorado State behind Davis. Waggoner was part of two double steals and Barnes knocked in three runs, The bad news was the Deacs lost right fielder and captain Tommy Cole to an injury. That Sunday game was viewed as sinful by Wake’s conservative administration, a transgression that would eventually lead to the firing of coach Taylor Sanford. Wake’s third game, a 9-0 loss to Western Michigan, pushed the Deacons to the brink of elimination. Next was a rematch with Western Michigan. Barnes had a basesloaded triple, followed by a steal of home. He helped the Deacons build a 10-1 lead and they held on 10-7. On June 15, Wake beat Oklahoma A&M 2-0 to reach the championship game — a third matchup
with Western Michigan. McRae had been quiet in the series, but the finale was his game. He went 5-for-5 with five ropes and added a sensational catch of a sinking liner in the eighth. The final out in Wake’s victory was a groundball that Barnes fielded at third. His throw to first base to end the series would always remain the biggest thrill of his athletic career — even bigger than winning the 1960 NFL title game. The Deacons won the World Series despite batting .203 in six games. Then they flew home as heroes to Raleigh-Durham Airport. Wake’s triumph was the first national title in any sport by a North Carolina school and also was the first title won by the ACC. No ACC team has won the World Series since the Deacons did it. Florida State and Clemson still have an opportunity to break that drought, and the 1955 Deacs will watch them take the field in Omaha with mixed emotions. “We have a distinction that is a surprise to all of us,” Waggoner said.
Braves’ Jones might retire Associated Press
ATLANTA — Struggling through another disappointing season, Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones told The Associated Press he was meeting with team officials Tuesday to discuss his future and acknowledged that he’s considering retirement. Jones declined to comment directly on whether he’ll retire at the end of the season, but it seemed clear that he’s made up his mind and merely needed to work out a settlement with the team over the $28 million in guaranteed money he’s owed for the 2011 and 2012 seasons. “It’s obvious that it’s something I’ve been thinking about,” Jones told the AP after arriving at Turner Field in his blue pickup truck about 2:15 p.m. “I need to go through the proper channels. Once those have all been taken care of, everybody’s questions will be answered.” The 38-year-old Jones, who won the NL MVP award in 1998 and led the league in hitting just two years ago, met before batting practice with team president John Schuerholz, general manager Frank Wren and manager Bobby Cox. “As best as I can gather right now, he’s thinking about retiring after this year,” Cox said. “But I can’t give a definitive answer.” Jones told the AP he planned to discuss some “red tape issues” with team officials. Asked if those involved a resolution of his contract, Jones replied, “That would be fair to
say.” He struggled last season and indicated that another difficult year would likely lead him to consider retirement, even if it meant walking away from a huge amount of money. This season has been even tougher for Jones, though the Braves are leading the NL East. He’s battled injuries and was hitting just .228 with three homers and 22 RBIs heading into the opener of a three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Braves have gotten more production at third base out of utility infielders Omar Infante (.314, one homer, 16 RBIs) and Brooks Conrad (.280, three homers, 12 RBIs), which has made Jones’ troubles stand out even more. “Well, anytime you’ve struggled at the plate and you’re having trouble producing, it’s frustrating,” Jones told the AP, standing outside the Braves clubhouse. “I’m used to being in the middle of everything, but it hasn’t been happening. Hopefully I’ll have a better second half and really help contribute to this team staying in first place.” The team later put out a statement saying Jones would not be available to the media Tuesday. He took part in batting practice and was listed in the preliminary lineup, batting in his usual third spot. On an 11-game road trip, he played just three games because of an ailing finger. “He’s been bothered by that finger, but he’s fine right now,” Cox said. “We’ve got him back in there. Hope-

Atlanta’s Chipper Jones is having a disappointing year. fully he can lead us to a championship.” Baseball already lost one of the generation’s biggest stars when Ken Griffey Jr. abruptly retired this month in the middle of his 22nd season. Jones has put together a career that could get him in the mix for Cooperstown — he had 429 career homers and trailed only Mickey Mantle (536) and Eddie Murray (504) among switch-hitters. Jones has long been the face of the Braves’ offense, helping Atlanta wins its lone World Series title as a rookie in 1995 and significantly contributing to an unprecedented run of 14
straight division titles. His best year was 1999, when he led the Braves to the NL championship and was named MVP after hitting .319 with 45 homers and 110 RBIs. Then came the injuries, which started in 2004 and led to a stretch of five straight seasons in which he missed at least 25 games. He continued to produce when healthy, putting up 29 homers and 102 RBIs in 2007, followed by a .364 average the next season that gave him his first NL batting championship. Jones’ numbers dipped dramatically in 2009. He batted only .264 — the second-lowest average of his 16year career.
A-Rod still sidelined by nagging groin injury Associated Press
The baseball notebook ... NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez was out of the New York Yankees’ lineup again Tuesday night, still sidelined by a sore groin for the opener of a World Series rematch against Philadelphia. “We want to be smart about this and take more of a long-term approach,” Rodriguez said. “Obviously, it’s something we have to keep an eye on.” The slugger said the plan was
for him to return to the lineup Wednesday night, either at third base or as the designated hitter. Rodriguez sat out a three-game sweep of Houston last weekend with what the Yankees have called tendinitis in his right hip flexor. He explained again, however, that the soreness he feels is deep in the groin area. TRADE PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks traded outfielder Conor Jackson to the Oakland Athletics for minor league closer Sam Demel
on Tuesday, the first of what could be a series of moves by the sputtering team. Demel, a 24-year-old right-hander, was third-round draft pick out of TCU in 2007. He 2-0 with a 1.26 ERA and six saves in 28 appearances for Triple-A Sacramento this season. The 28-year-old Jackson was batting .238 with a home run, 11 doubles and 11 RBIs in 42 games for Arizona. He missed all but the first 30 games of last season after contracting “valley fever,” an illness
that brings on extreme fatigue. CUBS CHICAGO — The Chicago Cubs activated left-handed pitcher John Grabow from the 15-day disabled list and optioned right-hander Mitch Atkins to Triple-A Iowa. DODGERS CINCINNATI — The Los Angeles Dodgers plan to put pitcher Chad Billingsley on the disabled list because of a groin injury. Billingsley hurt himself during his last inning on Friday against the Angels, manager Joe Torre said.
“In the playoffs at East and the start of this season, I’ve been in a really bad slump and not been swinging it well,” said Thomas, who went 4-for-6 with six RBIs and three runs. “Tonight I felt like I finally broke out of it.” Stanly ( 6 - 6, 4-6) drew within 9-6 in the bottom of the fourth before Laws entered LAWS with one out and the bases loaded. He induced a 6-4-3 double play. Holmes hit a two-run homer in the fifth, and Laws ended that inning by forcing Stanly to ground into another double play. He also worked a scoreless sixth, and Litaker struck out the side in the seventh while pitching around an error. “About two weeks ago, me and him had two bad outings in a row, each of us,” Laws said. “We sat down, talked to each other, and we’ve been working on our mechanics an hour before practice every day trying to get everything down.” Litaker had one strikeout in a perfect eighth that included two nice scoops from first baseman Andy Austin. Bradley Robbins allowed three runs in the ninth, but Will Johnson halted the rally.

Couple to provide gift of life to others Bridge: Keep your eye on communication site www.organdonor. gov/ donor/index.htm. In terms of donating your body to medical science, as far as I can tell, every medical school accepts donations. In fact, the supply can’t meet the demand. There are restrictions regarding geographic locations because of transportation costs involved. Offers outside a specific area may be accepted, however, providing a donor’s estate bears the cost of transportation. Specific details can be obtained from the bequeathal secretary of your nearest medical school. The process is relatively simple when all rules are followed. Under the Human Tissue Act (HTA) of 2004, written and witnessed consent for anatomical examination must be given prior to death by the person donating his or her remains. No one else can donate a cadaver postmortem. The HTA licenses and inspects all establishments that use donated bodies for research and teaching purposes. Specific forms for donation should be obtained from the medical school nearest you, and family members should be advised of your decision to make the donation. By law, no medical school in the United States is allowed to buy a body from a family or estate. Other than being 18 years of age or older, there is no age limit when donating to medical science, because a determination of acceptance is based on physical condition. There is no price tag involved for the donation. Generally speaking, a body is accepted
by an institution within 48 hours and transported by a licensed funeral director. In the state of Connecticut, only the eyes may be donated for transplant when a body is donated for teaching purposes. The body is embalmed, prepared, and stored in a secure manner until needed for teaching purposes. Keep in mind that the school might reject some people for various reasons, including extreme obesity, being grossly underweight, dehydration or carrying an infectious disease, so a backup plan should be considered. The demand for specific organs and bodies for research far outweighs the availability. According to the Organ and Tissue Donation and Transplantation website, about 77 people receive organ transplants each day, while 19 others die waiting for such transplants that can’t take place because of the shortage of donated organs. Giving a “gift of life” can save the lives of as many as 50 people. That’s an impressive statistic that can’t be denied. I commend you and your husband on making such an important decision. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

Comedian Bill Cosby said, “Men and women belong to different species, and communication between them is a science still in its infancy.” Bridge communication is a science not in its infancy; it has been recognized since the birth of the game. However, it is still overlooked by the inexperienced, whether men or women. Try this one on for size. You are in three no-trump. West leads the spade seven. What would be your plan? The South hand is well worth a two-no-trump opening because 18 of its points are in aces and kings. You apparently start with nine top tricks: two spades (given the lead), one heart, five diamonds and one club.
News 24 hours a day.
But the diamond suit is blocked. After playing off your ace and king, you need some way to get to the board for the other three diamond winners. What are the possible entries to the board? Either black queen might do the job. Now analyze the opening lead. Assuming it is fourthhighest from West’s longest and strongest, you can apply the Rule of Eleven. Subtract seven (the value of the card led) from 11. The answer, four, tells you that there are four spades higher than the seven in the North, East and South hands combined. And you can see all four: dummy’s queen and your trio. East cannot have a high spade. This means that you can get to the dummy with the spade queen if you are careful to take trick one with your king. Then un-

Dear Dr, Gott: My husband and I have decided to be organ donors. We are also discussing donating our bodies to medical science. Can you please discuss the details of making a cadaver donation? How do we find the right institution to donate to, and what to be DR. PETER needs done in adGOTT vance? What costs are involved, and can the donor specify what can and cannot be done with the body? In terms of medical science, please explain exactly what the body is used for, how it is used, and what is done with any remains. Thank you in advance for the information. Dear reader: To begin with, there is a great difference between organ donation and donating a body to medical science. Furthermore, there are several types of donations, including organ and tissue from a living donor, donations following cardiac or brain death, and whole-body donations. Organ donation can include stem cells, tissue, blood and organs. If this is your wish, register with your state donor registry if you have one. Not all states do, so don’t be concerned if you live in a state that lacks a registry. Have the notation incorporated onto your driver’s license, and sign a donor card that you carry with you at all times. Donor cards can even be downloaded from the web-

Commissioners agree to increase funding for schools BY KARISSA MINN
kminn@salisburypost.com
The Rowan County Board of Commissioners has tentatively approved a $190,000 increase in funding for Rowan-Salisbury Schools — significantly less than the $3.1 million increase it had requested. No one volunteered discussion or questions after the board’s budget workshop resumed Tuesday, so Chairman Carl Ford asked for a motion. Commissioner Chad Mitchell first moved to add $690,000 to the Rowan-Salisbury Schools current expense appropriation. The floor
was silent. After his first motion died, Mitchell changed the amount to $190,000 — his original suggestion to keep school funding even with the previous year. “I’m not going any higher than 690, so if there’s a holdout, my options are either 690 or 190,” he said. Commissioner Jon Barber said he couldn’t agree with either motion that night and wanted to wait until Monday’s regular meeting to vote on school funding. He said he wanted to meet the request halfway with $1.5 million. “I’d like to see what the final budget is from the state and what
they may or may not do,” Barber said. “With the flexibility of lottery proceeds, portions of that can be used to pay for teachers’ salaries... I would like to see what that is.” Commissioner Raymond Coltrain pointed out that the board was looking specifically at $1.7 million that would be undesignated to fund a list of additional budget requests. The county received those funds from the sale of property at the Summit Corporate Center to Keith Corporation, with an agreement that the company

City Council adopts budget BY SHELLEY SMITH
ssmith@salisburypost.com
The Salisbury City Council adopted the fiscal year 2010-11 budget during its meeting Tuesday, with council members voting 5-1. Councilman Paul Woodson voted against the ordinance, stating the only reason for his opposition was the 5.57 percent water and sewer rate increase. “I think as usual the staff and Mr. (Dave) Treme did a good job,” Woodson said, but noted many peo-
ple coming to him asking questions about the increasing rates, year after year. “The first thing that happened, when the 19-year-old woman came to see me, she and her husband (had) bought a house,” he said. “Her lawn is dying and she can’t afford to water the lawn.” The second encounter he had with a Salisbury resident was a lady asking him what the point of a City Council was if the council approved

Rowan Regional Medical Center could be undergoing a name change, the first such change in about 15 years. In 1995, Rowan Regional changed its name from Rowan Memorial Hospital. The proposed change comes from the hospital’s board of directors who say surveys indicated patients perceive Presbyterian health care to be of greater quality. Surveys were conducted in the southern part of the county where Rowan Regional competes with Carolinas Medical Center NorthEast in Concord. “People would be more likely to use Rowan because of the affiliation with Presbyterian,” said Bruce Jones, chairman of the board of directors. Presbyterian and Rowan Regional are both part of Novant Health, the parent company. Jones said some people don’t realize the two hospitals are affiliated. He added there is nothing wrong with the current name, but a change would be positive in the southern end of the community. Patient and employee satisfaction indicators show Presbyterian has a tremendous brand name. The board of directors thought with that kind of brand name it would attract more people to the hospital. Jones said from the board’s perspective this change has to be a community driven process. “We have to know what the doctors, employees

Postal carriers receive Million Mile award for safe driving BY MARK WINEKA
mwineka@salisburypost.com
As Salisbury postal carriers gathered to watch fellow mailman Paul Eudy receive his Million Mile Club award for safe driving, one employee shouted out that Eudy deserved an even bigger award because of the route he’s on. “He deserves two of them,” agreed Janet Shuffler, the other recipient Tuesday morning of a Million Mile Club plaque from the MARK WINEKA / SALISBURY POST National Safety Council. Eudy, 57, delivers mail Paul Eudy, right, receives his Million Mile Club plaque and letmostly on U.S. 70, which has ter of recognition from U.S. Postal Service District Manager been one big construction

zone over the past five years or more. The Million Mile award doesn’t mean Eudy hasn’t been in any accidents. His mail car has been rear-ended on U.S. 70 four times and has had a run-in with a motor grader, for example. But those accidents weren’t Eudy’s fault, and he and Shuffler were recognized for achieving their million miles of driving without having a preventable accident. A million miles is equal, the U.S. Postal Service says, to 42 trips around the earth. Asked what it means to re-
ceive an award for a million miles of safe driving, Eudy was blunt. “It means I haven’t run over anyone,” including the “idiots with cell phones.” Eudy rides a motorcycle when he’s not delivering mail in his Scion xB, so that contributes a lot to his defensive driving skills. Shuffler, 56, said the grace of God and being careful has kept her safe over her 30 years of delivering mail in Rowan County. “And I drive very slow,” she added. Both Eudy and Shuffler said mail carriers should
never get in a hurry. Shuffler’s current route covers a section of eastern Rowan County and extends over to Old Union Church Road and down by the river. She used to deliver mail along Stokes Ferry Road, which was much more dangerous, she said. Eudy and Shuffler have daily routes between 55 and 57 miles. Eudy, who has worked out of the Salisbury office for 33 years, delivers to about 580 boxes; Shuffler, 530.

Waiting for the winner Kannapolis convenience store sells winning $2M lottery ticket; prize remains unclaimed KANNAPOLIS — Cha-ching. A Kannapolis convenience store sold the winning Powerball lottery ticket Saturday, and someone is $2 million richer. No one has claimed the ticket yet. Store owner Sam Patel said he hopes the winner is from Kannapolis. “I’m very excited about it,” said Patel, owner of Lane Express Food Mart at 2013 Lane St., off I-85 at exit 63. “I’ve been waiting for that moment for a long time, for someone to hit the big jackpot here.” Customers congratulated Patel on Tuesday as news spread. “He’s great,” said Guy Biggerstaff of Kannapolis, who buys a Powerball ticket from Patel twice a week, as well as $30 to $40 in scratch-off tickets. “I’m glad he did sell it, but I’m mad it wasn’t me.” Andre Metcalf said he lives near Patel’s store and does all his business there. “That’s my Sam-I-Am,” Metcalf said. “They’re good people here.” Patel spotted Metcalf nine cents
when the customer came up short. Anyone who bought a Powerball ticket from Patel’s store on Saturday and still has it can check the numbers by calling 1-877-962-7529 or going to www.nc-educationlottery.org. Any retailer can scan the ticket. “I have a feeling that it’s someone from around here,” Patel said. If the winner threw away the ticket, he or she is out of luck. The winner has 180 days from the drawing date to claim the ticket. “You just never know,” said Ryan Kennemur, public information officer for the N.C. Education Lottery. Someone won $12 million May 28, and still no one has come forward, Kennemur said. That’s unusual, he said. “Typically, these prizes are awarded,” he said. The $2 million ticket is secondbest only to the jackpot. Patel has owned the Lane Express Food Mart for 10 years and sells between $300 and $400 in lottery tickets every day. Most of his

WASHINGTON (AP) — One of the season’s most heavily lobbied pieces of legislation in Congress is shining an unwelcome light on eight lawmakers, whose fundraising has caught the attention of ethics investigators. Acting on a tip, the House Office of Congressional Ethics is conducting a preliminary review, looking WATT for links between political contributions and votes on a massive overhaul of the regulations that govern Wall Street.Six of the eight lawmakers are members of the House Financial Services Committee that initially worked on the legislation. Three of them are now on the conference committee. A letter to several lobbying firms seeks information on Democratic Reps. Mel Watt of North Carolina, Joseph Crowley of New York and Earl Pomeroy of North Dakota. The Republican Reps. include John Campbell of California, Jeb Hensarling of Texas, Chris Lee of New York, Frank Lucas of Oklahoma and Tom Price of Georgia.

All except Crowley and Pomeroy are on the Financial Services panel. Watt, who represents District 12, which includes part of Rowan County, released a statement about the investigation Tuseday. “I was advised recently that the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) has initiated an investigation of several contributions to my campaign committee,” he said. “It’s unfortunate that this has been leaked to the press and that could leave the impression that there has been some impropriety. “Despite that, I think it’s better for me not to comment about the investigation until it is completed except to assure my constituents and the public that I am fully confident that the investigation will conclude that there has been no violation of either the letter or the spirit of any laws or ethical standards.” The ethics office appears to be focusing on fundraising between Dec. 2, 2009, and Dec. 11, the day the House passed its version of the legislation. The bill, a version of which passed the Senate last month, now is before a HouseSenate conference committee.
CHINA GROVE — Only two people spoke Tuesday during the public hearing to adopt the 2010-2011 budget, which was approved. There was much contention amongst the board members concerning the budget, especially the sewer/water fund. Prior to the public hearing, the board held four budget sessions — three of which were to discuss the water/sewer budget. On Tuesday, Councilman Ron Overcash was the only one to not vote in favor of the budget. Resident Donna Moss told the China Grove board she felt if the board approved the sewer/water budget it would be like stealing from customers. “It’s like going to a restaurant and paying for food you don’t eat,” she said. The board opted to double the minimum usage from 1,000 to 2,000 gallons. The water rate will also go from $8 to $9 and the sewer rate will increase from $9.50 to $10.20. The town’s increase in minimum usage means some customers — nearly 300 — will pay more with an increase in the min-

imum amount they consume. Moss said residents have been given excuses for years as to why they continue to increase rates. She also mentioned the much talked about the memorandum of understanding it has with SalisburyRowan Utilities. The agreement between Salisbury and China Grove took place about seven years ago when the town used more water than it does now. The town continue to be billed for the original amount of usage. The town has been in talks with Salisbury about a possible merger that would help reduce its rates or renegotiate the contract terms. The contract ends in seven years. Patricia Upright said as a senior citizen who is on a fixed income she didn’t think it was fair to charge more. “I’d like to know you can pick one group of people and say we don’t use much water and you want to charge us more. I don’t think it’s right for senior citizens to pay for something you don’t use,” she said. Town Manager Bill Pless called this budget a significantly challenging one. The total budget is balanced at more than $4.6 million. Also in the budget is an increase to the property tax rate, which jumped from 38 cents to 43 cents per $100 assessed value. The board last changed its property tax in 2007 when it it decreased from 40 cents to 38 cents, where it’s remained since that time. Although the board approved the budget, there was still some discussion about the proposed fee schedule. Councilman Lee Withers was concerned about the residential tap fee being $1,250. He suggested it be lowered somewhere around $500. “If we are trying to encourage people to use water it’s hard at $1,250,” Withers said. Town staff confirmed the tap fee used to be $600 a year ago. Pless said this issue could be revisited even though the budget had been approved. Councilman Mike Upright said he had a problem with charging renters $150 for a utility deposit. “I think it’s a little high at $150. I could see maybe $75,” he said. Mayor Don Bringle explained that historically the renters left the premises by the time town staff realized they were behind on rent. The reason for the high deposit was established to help the town recoup some of its money. The board recommended Pless and the staff look at some additional fee adjustments and return to the board.

customers are regulars. He sold a $10,000 ticket two years ago and has a $500 or $1,000 winner every couple weeks. His reputation for selling winning tickets will help bring in customers, Patel said. Kennemur agreed. “There’s an idea of lucky stores out there among Powerball players,” he said. Saturday’s $2 million prize was so large because of the Powerball “10X” promotion, Kennemur said. The regular prize for matching all five white balls is $200,000. However, the multiplier for Saturday’s drawing was 10 as part of the promotion, so the prize was $2 million. The promotion ended when the 10 was drawn as the multiplier, Kennemur said. North Carolina has participated in the “10X” promotion three times, with two $2 million winners, he said. Since it began in 2006, the education lottery has raised $1.469 billion for public schools, he said. Whether Patel will receive a commission from the state is unclear. Patel said he was told that his store would earn $10,000 for selling the ticket, but Kennemur said incentives only go to stores that sell jackpot tickets. Patel, who customers greet as “Sammy,” runs the business with his wife, Nilu Patel, and her father, Harmanbhai Patel. Commission or not, the winning ticket will drum up business, he said. “It’s making people happy already,” he said.

Graduation party at Club Liqwid shut down BY JESSIE BURCHETTE
jburchette@salisburypost.com
Police shut down a graduation party at Club Liqwid on Saturday night with 250 teens spilling onto Main Street with multiple fights. One teenager had a toe nearly shot off in a spillover incident. A Salisbury Police officer was injured trying to break up one of many fights. Club Liqwid, 127 S. Main St., hosted a graduation party for teens ages 15 to 18 Saturday night. No alcohol was sold. Salisbury Police Chief Rory Collins said a police officer was outside and another inside the club. At some point teens started flashing competing gang signs in the club. Fearing an escalation, police ordered the party shut down around 11:45 p.m. As the teens were leaving the club, two girls got into a fight in front of the club, drawing a crowd. Collins said additional officers responded to the area as a series of fights broke out, spreading north to the Square. Officers trying to break up a fight at 111 S. Main St. charged Shakeil Dewon Roberson with obstruction when he resisted and “flailed his arms,” trying to avoid being handcuffed. Officer V.A. Ruth, attempting to break up a fight, sustained an injury to his arm. He was taken to Rowan Regional Medical Center, where he was treated and released. While police were dealing
Paintball theft quickly uncovered The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office were spot-on in nearly solving a break-in at business before it was reported. Deputies recovered virtually all of the $8,400 worth of paintball guns and supplies taken from Carolina Paintball Park, 330 Beaver Lane, China Grove. Steven Lee Wyatt, an employee of Carolina Paintball, discovered the break-in around 7:45 a.m. Saturday. As deputies were being dispatched to the location, deputies D.C. Holstein and W.C. Lowery contacted the responding officers to say they had received a tip on stolen paintball equipment. Dozens of paintball guns had been taken from the business between June 7 and June 12. Thieves entered the building by removing a window air conditioner. Deputies located a large quantity of paintball equipment and supplies in a closet at a residence at 7020 Beaver Road, Kannapolis. Capt. John Sifford said three residents of the house told investigators that a friend of Thomas Bailey, another family member, had called there Friday night around midnight. They told investigators that the friend brought the paintball guns and put them in a closet. At some point, a family member apparently called the Sheriff’s Office. Deputies recovered the guns from the closet. On Sunday, Bailey provided additional information to investigators. They recovered 21 more paintball guns from the woods in the rear of 1228
ETHICS FROM 2A
Hensarling spokesman George Rasley said the Office of Congressional Ethics informed Hensarling that a source had claimed the congressman’s opposition to the regulatory legislation may have been influenced by political donations before the vote. Rasley said the ethics office did not identify the source. The ethics office gave similar information to other lawmakers, congressional officials said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. “Congressman Hensarling categorically denies any implication of influence and looks forward to clearing up this false charge,” Rasley said. Other lawmakers also denied wrongdoing.
with fights in the 100 block of Main, a teen who heard about the fights and was headed downtown was shot at 403 S. Main St. Ebin Shaheed Williams, 17, told police he had gone by Club Liqwid earlier to attend the party, but didn’t want to pay the $5 admission. Later, when Williams heard about the fights, he and friends started up Horah Street toward Main Street. Williams told police that he and friends encountered a group of people walking toward Horah Street. As Williams was talking to one of the people in the group, he said he felt a pain in his foot. Shortly afterwards, he pulled his shoe off and saw “his toe hanging off,” realizing he had been shot. He got a ride to Rowan Regional Medical Center for treatment. Hospital officials notified police of the gunshot wound. Williams told police that he didn’t know who shot him. He said most of those in the group were dressed in red and had Westside gang markings. Collins said the investigation is continuing. Police are also investigating a report of vandalism that resulted from the crowd spilling onto the street. Mariah Shantel Gregory and Cherie Cantelle Pearson were charged with disturbing the peace related to the fight in front of Club Liqwid. Roberson was charged with resisting arrest in relation to the fight at 111 S. Main St. Brookwood Drive, China Grove. Sifford said most, if not all of the items stolen from Carolina Paintball, have been recovered and returned. Investigators have multiple suspects. Charges are pending.
Off-duty deputy shoots pit bull An off-duty deputy sheriff shot a neighbor’s pit bull when it came charging into his yard at his three small dogs. According to a Salisbury Police report, Deputy Richard Hadley of Keystone Drive was walking his three small dogs in his yard Friday around 9 a.m. Hadley said a neighbor’s pit bull, known as Red, came charging at them in an aggressive manner, barking and growling. Hadley told police that the dog has a reputation of running loose and for attacking small dogs in the neighborhood. As the dog charged toward him and his dogs, Hadley drew his handgun and fired one round at the pit bull, which was within 10 feet of him. The dog went to the ground. Hadley notified the dog’s owner, Kimberly Hamilton, of the incident. According to police, she took her dog to a veterinarian’s office for treatment. The bullet did not strike a vital organ. As a result of this incident, Rowan County Animal Control declared the pit bull to be a dangerous animal. Chief Rory Collins said witness corroborated the information given by Hadley. Information on the status of the dog was not available. The ethics office declined to comment Tuesday. The letter to lobbyists sought information on individuals who attended fundraising events and made campaign contributions, along with any related written documents. The information request, first reported in The Hill newspaper, requested information covering fundraising dating back to January 2009. But the offices of lawmakers told the AP of the December time frame. The preliminary review determines whether a full investigation will be initiated. However, the Office of Congressional Ethics, run by a board of non-lawmakers, can only recommend actions to the House ethics committee. The ethics committee is composed of House members and decides whether lawmakers violated standards of conduct.

Preservationists seek to raise 2.6M to reconstruct Fort STATESVILLE — Historic preservationists announced a campaign Monday to raise $2.6 million to reconstruct an 18th Century fort that was the site of a battle in the French and Indian War. If they’re successful, Fort Dobbs State Historic Site supporters will help mark the first time in a generation an important piece of North America’s history will be completely reconstructed on the original site. “Visitors will stand on the same spot people stood 250 years ago and see what has not been seen since the 18th century,” Bill Haley, comprehensive interpretive plan designer, said in a press release. This year is the 250th anniversary of the Battle at Fort Dobbs. It is North Carolina’s only French and Indian War historic site. Supporters announced the $2.6 million goal Monday for private funds to be used in rebuilding the fort and landscaping. Over the next six to eight years, additional public and private dollars will build interpretative buildings and shape the land to help visitors further experience the life of the 18th Century settler and the native Cherokee, the press release said. Haley has designed interactive displays at Stonehenge, Jamestowne, the Smithsonian and Valley Forge. His firm is currently working with Fort McHenry to tell the story of “Star Spangled Banner” composer Francis Scott Key. Haley’s work on the Fort Dobbs project was funded by a $150,000 federal grant from the Institute of Library and Museum Services. Situated on 31 acres of rolling hills and trees, the Fort Dobbs site already welcomes about 27,000 visitors each year. Supporters hope the reconstruction and associated projects will help make Statesville and Iredell County a national travel destination. Larry Gustke, researcher and associated professor for N.C. State University’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management projects it could attract 125,000 visitors, support more than 400 jobs and pump $21 million into the local economy. “I am confident that the Fort Dobbs you envision today will be the Fort Dobbs of tomorrow,” Linda Carlisle, sec-
retary of the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources, told more than 125 supporters gathered at Statesville’s Marquee Cinemas for Monday’s announcement. “We are in this with you.” Speaking after re-enactors in 18th Century soldier costumes began the event with a drumroll and presentation of arms, Carlisle said 40 percent of travelers who visit North Carolina are “cultural heritage tourists” who spend more money and stay longer than other vacationers. Those are just the kind of tourists Fort Dobbs Historic Site attracts, and who supporters say would come from all over the nation to see a reconstructed Fort Dobbs. “We believe Fort Dobbs is our chance to leave a legacy here. This isn’t a company that will relocate somewhere else. It’s a lasting, living entity that will shape our lives and the lives of our children,” said Dave Grogan, capital campaign chairman and Friends of Fort Dobbs board member. “This is the only complete restoration of a French and Indian War fort in North America. We have an opportunity here that people in other cities and other museums wish they had,” Fort Dobbs is one of only a few sites nationally that actively interprets this period of history. The fort served as headquarters for the military and a safe-haven for settlers during the struggle between English colonists and native Cherokee who were sympathetic to the French. The site currently houses a museum where visitors can view artifacts found there and see a scaled replica of the original Fort Dobbs. “The reconstruction will be a big draw for visitors to come and not just see the building, but also its inner-workings and daily life of the soldiers. They’ll be able to smell the fires cooking and see the beds that soldiers would sleep on. It’s going to be a very powerful experience,” said Scott Douglas, Fort Dobbs site interpreter. Fort Dobbs Historic Site is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.

Rowan residents walk 50 miles to raise money for MS society Six Rowan County residents joined more than 150 people from North and South Carolina June 4 to walk 50 miles in three days to raise money for the Mid Atlantic Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Terry Carter, Shelley DiDonato, Anne Jory and J.D. Lefler, all of Salisbury, Beth Prymock of China Grove, and Lisa Rhodes of Rockwell
took part in the walk. The 10th anniversary Challenge Walk MS event, held in Gaffney, S.C., was expected to raise $350,000 to fund MS research and services for the nearly 8,000 people living with MS in the Carolinas. Multiple sclerosis, the number one disease causing disability in young adults, is a chronic, unpredictable and often disabling disease of
the central nervous system that interrupts the flow of information from the brain to the body. MS affects more than 400,000 people in the U.S. and over 2.1 million worldwide. There is no cure, but events like the June 4 walk help fund advances in research and treatment. For more information about multiple sclerosis, visit www.nationalMSsociety.

Salisbury Postmaster Dean Fields presents Carlene Davis with the 2009 Safe Driver of the Year Award from the National Safety Council.
POSTAL FROM 2A
Shuffler acknowledges her Oldsmobile station wagon isn’t great on mileage but its roomy and has a working air-conditioner, important on weeks such as this one. Mid-Carolinas District Manager David C. Fields Sr. presented the Million Mile Club awards to Eudy and Shuffler. The U.S. Postal Service District takes in 400plus offices, roughly from Wilmington to Asheville, and Fields said more than 5,000 carriers are on the roads each day. Shuffler and Eudy are the ninth and 10th mail carriers in the expansive district to receive the Million Mile Club award in 2010. They are now eligible to
compete for Joseph M. Kaplan National Safe Driver of the Year Award, to be presented by the National Safety Council later this year. Salisbury Postmaster Dean Fields, no relation to the district manager, presented Salisbury mail carrier Carlene Davis with the 2009 Safe Driver of the Year Award for the office. Davis, a 34-year veteran, also is a member of the Million Mile Club. “It’s a big deal, a great honor,” Fields said of the Driver of the Year recognition. The Salisbury Post Office also has been recognized by OSHA as one of the agency’s three safety “stars” in the district for its recertification through the Voluntary Protection Program. A “star’’ rating is the highest OSHA gives.

Perdue: N.C. ready on off chance oil hits East coast RALEIGH (AP) — Gov. Beverly Perdue told legislative and local government leaders Tuesday that North Carolina is prepared in the event that any oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico defies the odds and reaches its coastline. At a briefing about the state’s emergency management response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, Perdue assured officials that the state is fully prepared in the rare event that spilled oil hitches a ride on ocean currents and makes its way up the Eastern seaboard. “If the loop current does catch hold of the spill, then North Caroli-
na is prepared to deal with whatever comes our way,” Perdue said. “We have no reason to believe that it will be anything at all like we’re seeing on television now in the Gulf Coast states.” A computer model released a few weeks ago by the National Center for Atmospheric Research showed that oil leaking from the blown-out well off Louisiana could enter the Gulf’s loop current and the Gulf Stream and reach North Carolina shores by early next month. Perdue and other state officials said that if oil did reach the state it would probably be in the form of tar
The state has had an oil response plan in place since the Exxon Valdez spill in the late 80s balls. The state has had an oil response plan in place since the Exxon Valdez spill in the late 80s, said Gerald Rudisill, chief deputy secretary of the N.C. Department of Crime Control and Public Safety. But the Gulf spill is no ordinary spill, he said. There is still a lot unknown about how much is being dumped into the ocean and
A R O U N D T H E S TAT E DuPont agrees to $59K settlement over pollution KINSTON (AP) — Industrial giant DuPont has agreed to pay a $59,000 penalty for mercury discharges at a North Carolina plant. The federal Environmental Protection Agency said Tuesday the settlement relates to the company’s polymer fiber manufacturing facility in Kinston. The EPA says discharges at the plant exceeded permitted levels of mercury for eight months between September 2008 and March 2009. A DuPont spokesman says the company inherited the problem from the site’s previous owner and worked to fix it when it was discovered. Stan Meiburg is the EPA’s acting administrator for the region that includes North Carolina. Meiburg says the settlement underscores the importance of the federal permitting process in protecting the water supply from dangerous chemicals like mercury.
‘Crafty’ gorilla prompts N.C. Zoo to review exhibit ASHEBORO (AP) — The North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro has temporarily closed its gorilla exhibit after one of the apes nearly made a break for it. Zoo spokesman Tom Gillespie says a branch from a tree fell into the exhibit Sunday. One female gorilla tried to use the branch as a ladder to climb out of the exhibit, but she didn’t make it. The exhibit remained closed Tuesday as staff horticulturists checked nearby trees for loose limbs. Zoo officials think the branch came down after being weakened by a storm Saturday.
Group lobbies to end N.C. govt bargaining ban RALEIGH (AP) — School bus drivers, cafeteria workers and custodians are among the public employees who want North Carolina to change a state law banning collective bargaining for government employees. The school workers on Tuesday joined representatives of the state’s labor unions and workers’ rights groups to call on the General Assembly to repeal the 51year-old law. North Carolina forbids state and local governments from entering into collective bargaining deals with their employees. Virginia is the only other state with such a ban. North Carolina had the lowest union membership rate in the country in 2009 at 3 percent of workers.
Police arrest 4 in protest of school policy RALEIGH (AP) — Police arrested four civil rights activists who staged a demonstration to protest a North Carolina county school board’s decision to end a busing program. Multiple media outlets reported Tuesday that four activists were arrested after disrupting a meeting of the Wake County Board of Education in Raleigh. Those arrested include state NAACP leader the Rev. William Barber. A woman who answered the phone at NAACP headquarters Tuesday would not
comment. A Raleigh police spokesman said he didn’t have firm details about the arrests. The activists were protesting the board’s decision to end a busing program aimed at promoting economic diversity in North Carolina’s largest school district. The protesters say the new policy will effectively resegregate Wake schools.
Ex-Marine gets 100 months for threatening Obama WILMINGTON (AP) — A federal judge has sentenced a former Marine based in North Carolina to 100 months in federal prison for threatening President Barack Obama. The U.S. Attorney in Raleigh said in a news release that 20-year-old Kody Brittingham was sentenced Monday. Brittingham was charged with making threats against the president-elect. The Naval Criminal Investigative Service found a map of the Capitol, Internet searches for “Inauguration Day” and photos in Brittingham’s barracks locker. Brittingham was administratively separated from the Marine Corps following a December 2008 arrest on a charge of attempted armed robbery at a Jacksonville hotel. The U.S. attorney says Brittingham’s sentence in the threat case included time related to the armed-robbery.
Gas tank fire cleanup focuses on removing foam
Martha Wheelock said the city is using a preliminary figure of an extra $20 per month for premiums for employees who use tobacco. The move continues a trend of trying to keep down costs overall, Wheelock said. “We as a city have talked about smoking in particular for a number of years, at least internally, and I think we’re ultra-sensitive to the topic given where we live and the roots of our city,” she said. Winston-Salem is the home of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., the second-largest tobacco company in the country. Testing has found that 14 percent of the 3,600 covered city employees and retirees use tobacco products. But the percentage likely is higher because not everyone took the test, Wheelock said. It’s not certain how much the city will save, she said. Employees likely will be tested annually for nicotine, Wheelock said. “It’s a little harder to quit than they think,” said Mickey Ferguson, a heavy-equipment operator for the streets department and a smoker. The city will again offer smoking-cessation classes to employees, and it started paying for anti-smoking aids last year. Jeff Goins, a technician in the city’s parts department, was in the first round of classes, and they helped him kick the habit for 4.5 months. He said he didn’t plan on taking the classes again. “It’s a waste of time. I know I have a problem,” he said. “I have to go with their policy, but I don’t think it’s a fair decision.”
Cree hosts Senate climate bill teach-in
GREENSBORO (AP) — Mop-up duty continues at the scene of a massive gasoline tank fire in North Carolina, where workers are removing what’s left of more than 2,200 gallons of foam used to extinguish the blaze. The News & Record of Greensboro reported that a spokesman for Georgiabased Colonial Pipelines said Monday the foam is being held in a retaining pond. Colonial owns the tank farm in Greensboro. Authorities say the fire started early Sunday afternoon from a lightning strike. The fire temporarily closed stretches of Interstates 40 and 73 through Greensboro. The 52,000-gallon tank was 51 feet tall and 80 feet wide. It burned about halfway to the ground. It held about 20,000 barrels of gasoline, but the company removed about 7,500 barrels from the tank through underground pipes during the blaze.
DURHAM (AP) — A North Carolina green-energy company is holding a public forum to drum up interest in federal legislation that could help its business. Durham-based Cree Inc. and the Environmental Defense Fund are hosting a clutch of speakers on Tuesday morning who hope to drum up support for the American Power Act. The legislation was introduced in the U.S. Senate last month and aims to cut pollution blamed for global warming, reduce oil imports and create millions of energy-related jobs. Cree makes energy-saving lighting that could benefit if coal-fired power plants and other large polluters face new regulations. Cree vice president Greg Merritt says enforcing targets for energy efficiency and renewable energy will help create opportunities for new technology innovation.
Lighting up to cost more for WinstonSalem workers
Record-breaking fish caught in marlin tourney
WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — Employees of a North Carolina city that’s home to one of the nation’s largest tobacco companies will have to pay more for health insurance if they smoke cigarettes or use other tobacco products. City employees will have to pay more beginning in January unless they take a test to prove they have no nicotine in their bodies, the Winston-Salem Journal reported Tuesday. In addition to paying more, employees who smoke or use other tobacco products will be eligible only for the city’s basic health-coverage plan and not for a plan under which the city covers more costs. Assistant city manager
MOREHEAD CITY (AP) — A record-breaking fish has been caught in the annual Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament in North Carolina. The Daily News of Jacksonville reported Capt. Eric Holmes on the boat Citation brought the 883-pound marlin to the docks shortly after 7 p.m. Monday. The catch broke the record of 831 pounds set in 2000 by Summtertime Blues out of Kiawah Island, S.C. The Hatteras-based Citation earned a bonus of almost $319,000 for being the first boat to bring in a marlin weighing more than 500 pounds. If its catch stands as the biggest of the week, the boat will win almost $913,000.
when the oil will stop leaking. The emergency management division is to provide Perdue with an updated response plan by June 21. “We have not been sitting and waiting around for the oil spill to come our way,” Rudisill said. Attendees were briefed on the Gulf cleanup efforts by the U.S. Coast Guard and told about the area contingency plan in North Carolina that establishes a command structure and booming strategies in case of an oil disaster. Another issue discussed was coastal tourism. There hasn’t been a mass cancel-
lation of hotel rooms due to the spill, said Lynn Minges, assistant secretary for tourism marketing and global branding for the N.C. Department of Commerce. “Since the chances are so slim that we will be impacted, we are optimistic that it will be a strong season for summer travel,” Minges said. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day about $1.4 billion is spent by visitors to the state’s coastal region, she said. “We don’t want it to affect tourism,” said Jimmy Tate, the county commissioner for Pender County, home to Surf City and Topsail Beach.
Army Special Forces at Fort Bragg changing command FORT BRAGG (AP) — The man who oversaw the start of the largest expansion of the Army’s Special Forces in history is leaving the command as the war in Afghanistan becomes more deadly and the outcome is unclear. Maj. Gen. Michael Repass will turn over command of about 10,000 Special Forces soldiers, also known as Green Berets, to Brig. Gen. Ed Reeder in July as part of a normal rotation of commanders. Repass’ two-year oversight has included the shift from Iraq to Afghanistan. In the last few months, the Taliban has ramped up attacks against troops. So far this month, 44 international forces have been killed in Afghanistan, 27 of them American, putting June on pace to be one of the deadliest months in 2010. The situation in southern Afghanistan is murky, prompting lawmakers to call Gen. David H. Petraeus, head of the Central Command, to Capitol Hill this week to discuss the slow progress of NATO offensives in Helmand and Kandahar. “We’ve got two years to turn things around in Afghanistan,” said Repass, who is moving to Germany to become commander of Special Operations Command Europe. “That is the political patience that is out there.”
U.S. reliance on Special Operations forces has been steadily on the rise since the 2001 terrorist attacks. Repass’s term included managing the start of a plan to add more than 2,000 soldiers by 2013. That will also allow Special Forces members to spend more time at home between deployments. Repass said Special Forces are operating in 47 countries, including Afghanistan. His teams are focused on the “disconnected world,” meaning countries in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. “We don’t go to places where there is a highly developed economy and everybody is getting along nicely,” Repass said. Nowhere is that more true than Afghanistan, where his units are in high demand because they are trained to work closely with local leaders to undermine the Taliban insurgency. Special Forces teams are playing an important role in President Barack Obama’s revamped strategy to surge troops into Afghanistan and partner with the Afghans to destroy the Taliban and build a stable government. A prime example is the Village Stability Operations program. Special Forces units in Afghanistan are ex-
panding the program of putting units in rural villages to make it harder for Taliban and other insurgent groups to find safe haven. The villages get assistance to improve infrastructure development, governance, and security that they can take back to their village. Col. Don Bolduc, commander of the combined joint special operations task force in Afghanistan, told the Associated Press last month that the program has expanded to almost 10 villages in the southern, eastern and western provinces of Afghanistan since September. “The enemy recognizes that this is a serious threat to them,” Bolduc said. “This is about mobilizing the populace.” Repass said Special Forces has done village stability work under different names in the past. He said the program will work well at the local level, but connecting the villages to the central government will take time. “I think it is reasonable to say that there is a lot of room for improvement in Afghanistan now that we’re resourcing it and making it the priority mission,” Repass said. “I regret leaving it at the time I am leaving because I see unfinished business out there.”

Best Buy shoppers spend less than expected for quarter NEW YORK (AP) — Best Buy shoppers spent less than expected this spring, contributing to a rocky first quarter for the chain and disappointing Wall Street, but executives said the weak results don’t mean Americans have less of an appetite for electronics. The company’s profit edged up 1 percent but fell far short of what analysts were expecting. Best Buy stock tumbled 6 percent. Company executives pointed out Tuesday that the first quarter makes up just 10 percent of Best Buy’s annual revenue and expressed confidence in Americans’ demand for products such as phones and computers.
Stocks see broad gains; Industrials, tech climb NEW YORK (AP) — Industrial and technology stocks pulled the market sharply higher Tuesday after Boeing Co. said it was boosting production and an industry group forecast that demand for computers would increase. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 213 points to its highest close since May 19 and had their third advance in four days. Major stock index-
es rose more than 2 percent. The advance was broad, but came on light trading volume. That’s a sign that many traders are staying out of the market while they wait to see if stocks will keep moving higher after weeks of erratic trading. Industrials made some of the biggest moves following upbeat news from Boeing Co. and Illinois Tool Works Inc.
Boeing rose 4.1 percent after increasing production of the 737 jet. Boeing said customers are adding to existing orders and placing new ones. ITW rose about 2.5 percent after it raised the lower end of its fiscal second-quarter earnings target. More good news on industrials came from the New York Federal Reserve, which said regional manufacturing

WASHINGTON (AP) — Homebuilders are feeling less confident in the recovery now that government incentives for buyers have expired. Their pessimism could drag on the economy, which may not benefit so much from the job creation that construction typically generates throughout various sectors. The National Association of Home Builders said Tuesday its housing market index fell to 17 in June, sinking five points after two straight months of increases. It was the lowest level since March.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve adopted new rules Tuesday aimed at protecting credit card customers from getting socked by lofty late payment charges and other penalty fees. The rules respond to public and congressional outrage over practices by credit card companies. They bar credit card companies from charging a penalty fee of more than $25 for paying a bill late. They prohibit credit card companies from charging penalty fees that are higher than the dollar amount associated with the customer’s violation. They also ban so-called “inactivity” fees when customers don’t use the account to make new purchases and they prevent multiple penalty fees on a single late payment. The rules take effect on Aug. 22.
Swiss parliament approves U.S. tax deal on 2nd try GENEVA (AP) — The Swiss parliament on Tuesday approved a treaty with the United States that will hand thousands of files on suspected tax cheats to U.S. authorities, but obstacles remain that could delay the deal for several more months. The government hopes the agreement will eventually end UBS AG’s three-year battle with U.S. tax authorities that culminated in revelations the bank had for years helped American clients hide millions of dollars in offshore accounts. Under the treaty that was painstakingly crafted by Bern and Washington last year after months of negotiations, Switzerland has agreed to divulge the names of 4,450 UBS clients suspected of tax evasion.

LONDON (AP) — British Sky Broadcasting on Tuesday rebuffed a buyout offer from Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. that values the company at 12 billion pounds, or $17.7 billion, but said it was willing to back a sweeter bid. News Corp., which owns The Sun and The Times newspapers in London, is already BSkyB’s biggest shareholder with a 39 percent stake. Murdoch’s son, James, is BSkyB’s chairman. Independent directors said News Corp.’s informal offer of 700 pence per share was too low. They say they would have backed an offer above 800 pence, which would value the company at about 13.7 billion pounds.

would develop the property in a certain time frame or the county would purchase it back. The funding was designated by commissioners for that purpose, but the board plans to vote to undesignate it during Monday’s regular meeting. “Would it helpful if we went through all the other items and see what we have left?� Coltrain asked. Ford said it might, but Tuesday’s straw votes would be used to simply direct county staff, and they could be changed at Monday’s meeting if commissioners felt the need. “I personally don’t have any intention necessarily to spend all of the $1.7 million,� Mitchell said. “Once we reach the end of the list, that’s what it is.� Mitchell’s motion to increase RSS funding by $190,000 was approved 3-2, with Barber and Coltrain voting against.

of their $3.1 million funding gap. The school board had said it would fund the other half. At Monday’s budget workshop, Ford called a recess until Tuesday after discussions about school funding became heated. Barber and his fiancee, school board member Karen South Carpenter, became upset with Commissioner Tina Hall after she brought up Carpenter’s travel expenses and questioned numbers provided by Rowan-Salisbury Schools finance director Tara Trexler. Hall said after Carpenter confronted and yelled at her during a recess, Hall asked County Manager Gary Page to call a sheriff’s deputy to the room and later was escorted out of the building by the officer. Two officers sat in the back of the room at Tuesday’s meeting. “(Carpenter) was out of control and very confrontational,� Hall said after Tuesday’s meeting. “Normally, when there’s law enforcement, you don’t have to worry about people losing their composure.� Hall also said she did not intend to call into question Trexler’s integrity or truthfulness, and she
thinks very highly of Trexler. Also at the meeting, the board tentatively: • Withdrew the county’s membership from the Centralina Council of Governments, with Barber and Coltrain voting to remain in the group. • Continued its membership in the Charlotte Regional Partnership after a presentation by RowanWorks director Robert Van Geons. • Approved an additional $49,848 in funding to maintain RowanWorks’ current operating budget. Hall and Ford voted against it, saying they didn’t support increases in such a tight budget year, but Ford also said his opinion on this item could change. • Approved an additional $1,500 for the Chamber of Commerce. Hall and Ford again dissented. • Rejected Page’s recommendation to decrease the early tax discount from 1.5 to 1 percent in July and from 1 percent to 0.5 percent in August. Page said the decrease was a business decision that has been made before. The county normally invests the money it receives in early taxes, but at interest rates of less than 1 percent, it now loses money on the discount. But
SALISBURY POST Mitchell and Hall said reducing it would amount to a tax increase. Coltrain was the only commissioner to vote for the recommendation, saying it made financial sense. • Agreed to privatize the county’s airport maintenance, saving $50,000 in the coming budget year. • Approved a $20,000 requested increase to Rufty Holmes Senior Center, continuing what was originally a one-time allocation this fiscal year. • Allocated $75,000 to replace the roof at the Rowan Museum and possibly make other repairs. Total repair costs for the roof, boxing eaves and exterior wall painting and stucco would be $150,000. Mitchell moved to provide half that amount, and Page said he would make it go as far as he could. • Allocated $69,449 to hire two Child Protective Services employees at the Rowan County Department of Social Services. That number represents 45 percent of what the new positions cost — the rest would be paid by the state. • Approved a $138,100 request — the county’s share of close to $500,000 — for another imaging system for DSS. Commissioners said the first system has increased
efficiency and effectiveness at the department, and it also has saved office and storage space. • Did not fund a $226,000 request to upgrade the miniature golf course at Dan Nicholas Park. Coltrain made a motion to accept the request, saying the course needed to be ADA compliant and the upgrade would generate revenue, but he failed to get a second. Mitchell said, “I have no doubt that the project is a good one, but unless the redesigned course can guarantee me — and only me — a hole in one with every shot, I won’t be able to support the motion on the floor.â€? • Agreed to leave the county vehicle maintenance department as it is. Page had suggested either privatizing vehicle maintenance by eliminating the position of the current mechanic, Johnny Love, or moving him to a better-equipped county facility. At the first budget workshop, commissioners agreed that they didn’t want to let the mechanic go, and the upfront costs to move his operation would be too great. • Heard an update on a request from the Rescue Squad which had been withdrawn.

er Gary Page had looked at to compare public school funding — Rowan, Cabarrus, Alamance, Catawba, Davidson, Randolph, Forsyth, Iredell and Caldwell — Rowan’s funding is the lowest. At $619 per full-time student, it is also significantly lower than the $845 state average. In North Carolina, the state is responsible for funding academic programs at the community colleges, and the counties are responsible for funding the buildings and related maintenance. The proposed 2010-11 budget keeps per-pupil funding steady but increased the college’s appropriation by $150,000 — or 8 percent — to keep up with rising enrollment. “Have we got any feel for what funding going to be from Cabarrus County?� Commissioner Jon Barber asked. Spalding said the funding per square foot was about the same as with Rowan, and the college wasn’t asking for as many increases from Cabarrus. The buildings on the South Campus are newer, she said, and aren’t in such disre-
pair. Commissioner Tina Hall asked if the college board had considered presenting their needs to the voters in a bond referendum. “If we do a bond issue, we thought we would want to do it looking at the needs of the community college looking 10 to 15 years ahead,� Spalding said. “We wouldn’t want to do it just to patch up what we have.� As commissioners and staff continued to discuss the issue with Spalding, though, the possible solution of a bond referendum kept coming up. “I think it’s pretty clear from our perspective that we don’t have $3.884 million to fix these pressing needs, some of which are going to be significant safety needs in the very near future,� said Commissioner Chad Mitchell. Mitchell asked Spalding if there would be enough time for the college to present its case to the voters before its walkway and other problems became urgent safety issues. “It’s possible, and we certainly would consider it,�
survey, which is slightly different, is solicited at random. One of the questions asks participants to rate possible names, which are: Presbyterian Hospital Rowan, Presbyterian Medical Center Rowan or keep Rowan Regional Medical Center. The other questions involve which name invokes a hospital with the best nursing care, the most advanced technology and the friendliest staff.
There is also a place for additional comments that could include other name options. Jones said when Rowan Regional joined with Novant in 2008 it was not required to undergo a name change. “The board asked that we be able to retain the name and Novant agreed,� Jones said. The initiative was brought up by the board with some discussion last year.
“This started in planning meetings in the first of 2010,� he said. Some people received emails Tuesday. Once all of the surveys are submitted to the research firm they will tally the results. After the planning committee has seen the results, the results will go to the board for a full vote. “The whole process could take six to nine months,� Jones said.

After the shooting, the two men who hadn’t tried to hide their faces ran out the back door, she said, while the one wearing the hood put a gun to her head and took her room to room looking for something. He then stole a cell phone and money from her wounded husband’s pocket. Constance Edwards said she didn’t recognize the men. But she believes her husband may have. She moved to Kannapolis after they met and said her husband “kept a lot of friends. A lot of people knew him. I believe they knew him and he knew them.â€? She believes Culbertson is the man who shot her husband, she said. He was one of the two who ran out the back door. Culbertson was arrested Tuesday by members of the Kannapolis Police Criminal Investigation Division. Police are still searching for the two other intruders. The other suspects are described as: • A black male, approximately 5-foot-8 with a thin to medium build and light com-
plexion. He wore dark or black clothing. • A black male, 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-8, with a thin build and dark complexion. He also wore dark or black clothing.

she said. Page brought up the county’s successful efforts to convince residents to approve a quarter-cent sales tax to fund an upcoming jail annex and radio system. He suggested that the community college make the same kind of effort. “If their enrollment is up 25 or 30 percent, a lot of those are displaced parents and older workers,� Page said. “It’s not just for the kids, it’s for the whole community. If they could explain that to voters, they might have a chance.�
Chairman Carl Ford asked why these urgent needs had not been brought to commissioners sooner. “What’s happened at RCCC in the last decade or more that... somebody dropped the ball?� he asked. Spalding replied that the college didn’t have a lot of money to spend, and the college board was trying to be frugal by asking commissioners only for what they truly needed. Also, she said, this past harsh winter took a large toll on many structures.

At Tuesday’s continuation of their budget workshop, county commissioners voted unanimously to fund two roof replacements for Rowan-Cabarrus Community College. The Rowan County Board of Commissioners also agreed not to fund the construction of a $359,000 second elevator — or any of the community college’s other requests for additional funding — at this time. Representatives from the community college had presented RCCC’s needs to commissioners Monday and answered their questions. The college’s biggest concern, Dr. Carol Spalding said Monday, is replacing the failing elevated walkway — built in 1974 — on the North Campus. The replacement, including a new elevator to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), would cost nearly $2 million. A second requested elevator to meet ADA compliance would cost an additional $349,000.
The current elevator, she said, is too small to fit even some larger motorized wheelchairs. If they can’t use the elevator, disabled students then have to move all around campus on a series of ramps in order to get to the next class. “We sometimes have to send an e-mail saying the elevator’s not working, and that’s not good,� Spalding said. Other requests included replacing two leaking roofs for $250,000 and $200,000, replacing seven air handlers and one boiler for $260,000, replacing deteriorating stairs and adding an ADA compliant ramp for $395,000, and replacing deteriorating fire exit stairs for $435,000. Commissioner Raymond Coltrain asked Spalding to prioritize the requests, which totaled nearly $3.9 million. “The first thing we would do is the roofs,� Spalding said. “As they leak, they ruin everything underneath them.� Spalding also presented a comparison of county funding per community college full-time student.

vember 2002 to tour the high school property. The state specialist thought the building could qualify then, but it wasn’t until Hood was commissioned years later that things got serious. Qadirah, Spencer, Brown and Mary Jane Fowler helped in the review of Hood’s final draft late last year. The Price National Alumni Association raised funds for the nomination process that were matched by Salisbury philanthropists Ed and Susan Norvell. Historic Salisbury Foundation recommended Hood, a historian from Vale, who was successful in other Salisbury nominations. “I said, ‘We hope your touch is still good,’” Qadirah says, recalling her first meeting with Hood. Now that Price High School in on the National Register, Qadirah says fundraising for the building will continue through the alumni association’s foundation, whose contributions also go toward scholarships. “People are still wanting to be involved,” Qadirah says. “... The idea is, it’s (also) a preservation fund.” The National Register approval is important, agrees Brown, Price High Class of 1962. “It makes it easier for us to raise money to do what we need to do,” he says, noting that while the old school buildings are structurally sound and surprisingly intact, there’s still a lot of work needing to be done, “and I don’t know how we’re going to do it in these economic times.” Hood’s research shows that the black community was desperate for a high school through much of the 1920s and into the early 1930s. The Dixonville and Monroe Street schools for black students were overcrowded, forcing many students to attend in halfday shifts. For example, in the mid to late 1920s, black student enrollment was at 928, but the city provided only 20 classrooms between the two schools for all grades.
Alumni association convention this weekend The J.C. Price High School National Alumni Association will hold its biennial convention reunion Friday and Saturday in Salisbury. A “commemorative reception” will be held from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday on the front lawn of the former school in the 1300 block of West Bank Street. The reception will celebrate Price High School’s recent listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Several city, state and national officials are expected to attend the Saturday festivities, along with more than 100 Price alumni from across the country. J.C. Price High School opened in 1932 and was a focal point for the black community through the 1968-69 school year before integration. Other reunion events this weekend include the following: • Registration from 1-5 p.m. Friday at the Holiday Inn. • A fish fry, 5-8 p.m. Friday, at the Holiday Inn Pavilion. • A dance, 8-10:30 p.m. Friday, at the Black Box Theater, 405 N. Lee St., with music by Divided by Four. • A general membership meeting, 11 a.m. Saturday, at the Holiday Inn. • The Scholarship dinner/dance, 6 p.m.-midnight, with music by Moecom.net and DJ Maurice.

Hood says “important original fabric remains in place in nearly every space,” down to “Sibley” commodes, original chalkboards and bookcases, wood paneling, wainscoting and ceramic tile floors. The 586-seat auditorium retains the greatest degree of integrity, Hood says, with its plan, finishes and furnishings all intact. The property is cityowned, and parts of the old school are still used by the Salisbury-Rowan Community Action Agency and Head Start.

J.C. Price (1854-1893)
(The J.C. Price High name was first used at the Monroe Street School from 1923-31, although it included grades 1 through 11.) School board minutes from October 1925 reported “alarming conditions” at Salisbury’s “colored schools,” and things became so intolerable in the black community that a delegation went to the school board in October 1929 demanding a new school. The State Literary Fund eventually supplied a $30,000 loan, and the Rosenwald Fund provided a $5,300 grant, the largest in North Carolina during the 1931-32 school year. The Rosenwald Fund also contributed $600 for the library and $300 for equipment. According to Hood’s research, the school cost $38,689, plus an additional $3,719 for its original 6acre lot, bought from the Partee family. Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears Roebuck & Co., incorporated his fund in 1917 to help with black school construction, but his help predated that incorporation. Over its life, the fund supported the construction of 5,357 schools, shops and “teacherages” in the United States, including 813 in North Carolina — the most of any state. Rosenwald died the same day — Jan. 6, 1932 — that the Salisbury Post celebrated completion of Price High School with a front-page story. Rosenwald’s fund was discontinued after his death. On inspecting the new Price High Jan. 5, 1932, John J. Blair, state director of school planning, described it as “very beautiful indeed.” “In fact,” he said, “it is one of the best I know of in the South.” The school was dedicated on the rainy night of Feb. 15, 1932, and more than 300 students started school there the next day. The rain had made “new roadways leading to the school almost impassable for blocks away,” the newspaper reported. Salisbury Mayor B.V. Hedrick told the large crowd gathered, “You may rest assured that the city fathers will build you a good street into this place at once.” Price High School is essentially four buildings. The original design — amazingly, the school was built in just three months at the end of 1931 — was based loosely on one of the Rosenwald model plans but was larger at 14 rooms. Brown says the central hall — the spine through the school — was long enough and wide enough to accommodate proms before a gymnasium was added. Architects Barbee and

Running on Empty
To burn more fat, some experts say skip breakfast before workout BY MARIA CHENG Associated Press
LONDON (AP) — Running on empty may not be such a bad idea after all. Though many athletes eat before training, some scientists say that if you really want to get rid of more fat, you should skip the pre-workout snack. Several studies suggest exercising while your body is low on food may be a good way to trim excess fat. In a recent paper, European researchers found that cyclists who trained without eating burned significantly more fat than their counterparts who ate. Muscles usually get their energy from carbohydrates, which is why athletes like Lance Armstrong and Michael Phelps scarf down enormous amounts of food before a race. But if you haven’t eaten before exercising, your body doesn’t have many carbohydrates in reserve. That forces it to burn fat instead, scientists say. “When you exercise (after fasting), your adrenaline is high and your insulin is low,” said Peter Hespel, a professor of exercise physiology at the University of Leuven in Belgium. “That ratio is favorable for your muscles to oxidize (break down) more fatty acids.” Hespel said that people who exercise without having eaten burn more fat than they would if they had grabbed a bite beforehand. In a study published in April, researchers at the University of Birmingham and elsewhere assigned seven people to cycle three days a week, followed by an intense session an hour later without eating. Another seven people followed the same regime, without the instruction to fast. Though members of the group that didn’t eat performed worse on the intensive training, they burned a higher proportion of fat to carbohydrates than the group that ate. The results were published by Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, the journal of the American College of Sports Medicine. In a 2008 study, Hespel and colleagues tested the effects on men who did endurance training without eating versus those who ate. In the athletes who hadn’t eaten, the researchers found a spike in the amount of proteins needed to process fat, meaning their bodies had been primed through fasting to burn more fat. Hespel recommends people do this kind of training be-

But if you haven’t eaten before exercising, your body doesn’t have many carbohydrates in reserve. That forces it to burn fat instead, scientists say. fore breakfast, since eating carbohydrates interrupts the process of metabolizing fat for about six hours afterward. Though he and colleagues have primarily studied the effects of exercising without eating in young, healthy people, he thinks the method could also help people with problems like diabetes. Because exercising without eating produces muscles that are better at absorbing glucose — which is important for preventing diabetes — Hespel theorized the strategy would also help diabetics control their insulin levels. Other experts said that even though people may burn more fat this way, it is mostly fat within the muscles that will be lost and won’t make a big difference to people try-
ing to lose weight. “When you exercise (without eating), fat is broken down more quickly in the muscle,” said Andrew Greenberg, director of the Obesity and Metabolism Laboratory at Tufts University. “You may enhance how you burn the fat in the muscles, but it doesn’t affect your overall body fat,” Greenberg said. He said more intense exercise may prompt the body to burn more fatty acids in other regions of the body, but that a lot of training would be required to see a big difference. For recreational athletes interested in maximizing their exercise regimen, some experts recommend a regular training session where you deliberately do not eat
beforehand. “Science is finally catching up with what smart runners have always known,” said Ron Maughan, a professor of sport, exercise and health sciences at Loughborough University in Britain. “If you have a long, hard run without breakfast once a week, that hard run will train you to burn fat,”he said. “And for the rest of the week, have plenty of carbohydrates so you can train hard.” Maughan cautioned against doing too much exercise on an empty stomach. “That might help you get very good at burning fat, but you won’t be very good at whatever exercise it is you’re doing,” he said. “Without enough fuel, you won’t get the intensity of training you
need to get improvements.” Others were more skeptical and said people shouldn’t exercise without having at least a small snack first. “I think it’s actually a pretty bad idea,” said Dr. Alexis Chiang Colvin, a sports medicine expert at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York who has worked with professional football and hockey teams. “If your blood sugar is low, you could wind up getting dizzy and you might not be able to exercise as well as if you were well-nourished,” she said. Colvin recommended having something small like a banana before training. She also warned the strategy might make people more prone to injury and that eating was important so the body would have enough nu-
trients to recover from a bout of exercise. Hespel acknowledged the method wasn’t for everybody and that aside from the pain of struggling through an exercise session while hungry, there are other potential pitfalls. “When you postpone breakfast to exercise, it is possible you might eat more afterward,” he said. “People exercising (without eating) need to respect all the normal strategies of weight control like not overeating.” Daniel Kobbina, a personal trainer who also runs a martial arts school in London, said the method requires discipline — but it works. “If you train on an empty stomach, you’ll see that sixpack a lot sooner,” he said.

Colorful and delicious are the only two words needed to describe what you will take home from the Farmers Market. Local tomatoes in many shades of reds and yellows are available. Squash and cucumbers in all shades of greens and yellows are rivaled by the multi-hued peppers. The differing hues of the same vegetable may make little difference in taste, but when used together they add color to the table or plate. Dawn’s Greenhouse has red and white organic garlic. Correll Farm has large white softneck garlic and garlic braids ready. Try the garlic roasted as a spread on a piece of bread. Wild Turkey Farms has packages of seasoned pork to use when seasoning a pot of green beans, greens or other favorites. Saturday, Heather from

• Gifted grocery-shopper. I use a credit card at the grocery store, but I found this easy way to stay within my budget: With my credit card, I purchase a grocery store gift card on the first of every month. I limit the amount on the gift card to my set grocery allowance for the month, minus about $50 to allow me to take advantage of sales at other stores. Each time I make a purchase, my receipt tells me how much is left on my gift card for the month. Sometimes, I have a little left over to use the next month, and sometimes I have to stop shopping a few days early. But I always know how
much is on my card. — Patti W.,
• Guilt-free spree. I shop on Amazon.com for books, and I’ve given myself a strict budget for shopping there. When I shop online, I fill my cart with treasures, ignoring my budget. Then, I walk away. Later, I come back and delete the ones I decided I don’t need. I tell myself that I am free to purchase anything I want, so long as I don’t go over my limit. I can have a shopping cart going for weeks, adding and deleting to my heart’s content. This method allows me to control my spending and rein in my buying addictions while not depriving myself of fun. — Sheila M., e-mail

• Rainy days. Frugal peo-
ple are often well prepared. This means they’re frugal before an emergency arises. This makes situations such as a major home or car repair, medical bills or job loss a bump in the road and not a major financial crisis. They are accustomed to living within and even below their means. One reader, Vail from Washington, shares: “My husband and I got to keep our lovely house (by the skin of our teeth) because we were frugal before he got laid off for 10 months! I don’t think we could have made the switch to frugal and saving fast enough if we’d only started when there was a problem.” • Uniqueness. Most everyone buys brand-new retail products. Sometimes new products are inferior to their old-fashioned counterparts. Secondhand shopping can often yield high-quality, lesscommon vintage items that can become family heirlooms. It’s the greener choice, too. So you save money and help reduce waste. As a bonus, secondhand shopping is fun! • Productivity. Frugality is proactive living. Your free time isn’t idle time. You add
to your skill set on a regular basis. You enjoy lifelong learning to help yourself and others. Another reader, Liane shares: “There are many benefits to being frugal. Money in my pocket and no fear in the pit of my stomach. A car that I paid for sits in my driveway. My daughter can play sports and do activities. Our bills are all paid before they are due. Learning new skills that save so much money. Making detergent is saving me at least $150 a year. Having the means to stock up and share food with those in need. Growing our garden and getting to pick dinner in the backyard. This also keeps me out of the produce section for awhile. More free time to do what I want to do and not what I have to do. Being frugal does not just benefit me, it benefits my family and ultimately my community. We donate our time and food, and our footprint is smaller. People may laugh, but I am happy and free.” • Less is more. Less spending can mean more saving or paying off debt. Karen from Kansas has less “junk” to clutter her home and mind, and more appreciation for the things that “count.” Less clothes/shoes means more

in the way my record sounds and the way I dress.” What she wears has been put under the spotlight recently. Some thought the video for “Can’t Be Tamed” was too provocative, and others have criticized her for revealing too much skin in her outfits. Cyrus admits to being partial to shorts and hot pants. But she sees nothing wrong with flashing her legs. “I’m really comfortable with my body, I work really hard to be fit and to know that
I can wear whatever makes me most comfortable. I feel more comfortable dressing with a little less, which is just how I’ve always been,” she said. “Now I’m able to do that a little more freely and, also, I’ve just grown up to be this way too. It’s not like this was me five years ago. It’s me now, presently.” Maturing is Cyrus’ current mission. She’ll finally shed the blonde wig of her Disney pop star persona, “Hannah Mon-

Then Cyrus will be free to embrace her solo stardom and sex appeal. “When you’re 11, the word you would use to describe someone is definitely not sexy, and as you get older I think you grow into that. And I think I’ve done that but that’s not my schtick. That’s not what I’m trying to do to sell records. I want people to buy my record because of my music.” “Can’t Be Tamed” is out on Monday.

Frugal: The benefits of learning to embrace frugality Frugality can seem like a lot of work. Some people have decided that it’s simply not worth the effort. Maybe they haven’t thought it through. Those of you who are frugal, know that you’re not deprived and that it doesn’t require a lot of extra time. The benefits of frugal livSARA ing outweigh NOEL the sacrifices and time spent. For example, many families are staying home more often. They’re cooking more meals and eating together, spending less money on entertainment, and getting back to the basics of sharing quality time. Cutting back is boosting appreciation for many things that were previously taken for granted. This isn’t deprivation. This is the good life. Frugal living eventually gives you more options, which equals more freedom. What benefits have you experienced through your frugality? Here are a few more advantages to being frugal.

Dear Amy: My husband and I are devout Catholics. We have chosen to protect the innocence of our 7-year-old son by not educating him about the “facts of life” until he hits puberty. We have told him that the Virgin Mary puts a baby on your doorstep if you pray for one. He is in a Catholic school, so we don’t have to worry about “sexual education.” My sister knows about our choice, but she does not approve of it. She is pregnant. Recently, she wore a “Baby on Board” T-shirt when visiting. Our son asked about it, but I did not know what to tell him! What should I do if a problem like this arises in the future? — Worried Mom
tial element of the drama of Jesus’ birth that he was born of a human mother? In the biblical version of “Baby on Board,” wasn’t Mary “great with child” when she and Joseph stumbled into Nazareth? A baby isn’t a newspaper, left on the doorstep by an omnipotent delivery person. All animals and humans give birth to babies, and even if you don’t want to explain how babies are conceived, it is both truthful and religiously defensible to tell your son that babies grow inside their mother’s bodies (or “tummies”) until they are born. If you want to fabricate the story of how they got there, go for it.

Dear Devastated: When your husband confessed his infidelities and insecurities, he transferred some of his issues onto you. Beyond your hurt and pain, the reality of your situation is that just as your husband made choices that affected your marriage, so can you. You may want to separate for a period to get some clarity about what you want. You may need to stop handling things so well and dig into the messy reality of being vulnerable, angry and sad. You will see that trust is a choice you make to be in a faithful relationship with another person. Your husband should do whatever you need him to do to prove to you that he is worthy of your trust. And then one day, to stay in the relationship, you’re going to have to take the leap and choose to trust him.
Your marriage will never be the same. But in some ways, it could improve because you two will have been to the brink and back.

Dear Amy: Over the past several months I’ve learned that my husband has had two affairs. Through couples counseling, we have learned that his affairs were about his own unhappiness with himself. The counselor made it clear that his choices were out of convenience and have absolutely nothing to do with me. He claims to now love ASK me more than AMY ever because I’m handling this devastating event so well. I love him dearly and really don’t want to break up our marriage but find myself completely unable to let him be close to me again or get the images of these women out of my head. I have read several books on this subject, and most of them say it takes a long time. But I find myself with walls up all around me. I’m fearful that this horrible thing will happen again.

COMMISSION FLARE-UP
Cool off, move on C
alm, collected leadership in government is always at a premium — and never more so than in our current travails. As the country haltingly emerges from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, Rowan County is facing one of the most difficult budget environments in recent memory. The county is looking at dipping deeper into its fund balance while reducing service hours at libraries and parks. The school system is looking at a $3 million funding gap. Plus, it’s an election year, which inevitably ratchets up emotions. Given the environment and the fact that public officials often disagree on budget issues, it’s no surpise that exchanges might get a bit testy — especially when you’ve already been talking for almost four hours. However, the flare-up that occurred at Monday evening’s county budget workshop involving Commissioners Tina Hall and John Barber and school board member Karen South Carpenter wasn’t the sort of heated but healthy exchange that’s part of productive debate. Rather than a budget workshop, it was more an example of how not to conduct government business. The clash began when Hall raised questions about previous school board expenditures for travel and other items, including a trip to San Diego by a school board member (Karen South Carpenter, who was in the audience). Barber interrupted to ask if Hall knew why the trip to San Diego had been scheduled. Later, when Hall had yielded the floor and Barber was explaining why Carpenter took the trip (a conference about the evaluation process for superintendents), Hall interjected, “And she is your ...” “What’s her being my fiancee got to do with this?” Barber asked. As this point, Chairman Carl Ford wisely called for a recess and, after a few words with Barber and Hall, suspended the meeting to the following day. This was not a shining moment for anyone involved. Hall has a right to question or criticize school expenditures, but bringing Barber’s relationship to Carpenter into the discussion was inappropriate at best. Barber also had a right to respond to Hall, but he shouldn’t interrupt colleagues when they have the floor (as he acknowledged). Carpenter’s later outburst against Hall also wasn’t exactly taking the high road, although she did apologize afterward. Feathers sometimes get ruffled, and business goes on as usual. Eventually, as Ford noted, “cooler heads prevail.” Let’s hope that’s the case going forward. As we head into the long, hot summer with potentially stormy budget decisions in the forecast, cool heads and clear thinking are definitely needed.

Mining Afghanistan’s future W
ASHINGTON — Amid all the dark news from Afghanistan, every now and then a sliver of light slips through the cracks. Afghanistan, it turns out, is rich in minerals. Trillions rich. It’s going to become the Saudi Arabia of lithium, they say. Thanks to vast stores of that resource, plus iron, copper, cobalt and gold, this impoverished, war-torn nation could become a wealthy nation. No more wars, no Taliban, no heroin, no Osama bin Laden. Too good to be true, KATHLEEN right? PARKER The deposits are real enough, but the question remains: Can a country without mining infrastructure and populated by people who’ve never known prosperity or possessed the collective memory of self-direction (70 percent of Afghans are under age 30) put its resources to constructive use? Although the potential is “stunning,” according to Gen. David Petraeus, the sidebars and footnotes to this heartening story are full of caveats and “yes, buts.” There’s also potential for corruption, for fights between the central government and the provinces, for conflict along the Pakistan border where some of the richest deposits are located, and for a resurgent and enriched Taliban. Moreover, turning deposits into a functioning mining industry will take decades. But speculation naturally leads to the hope that Afghanistan could begin to fund its own reinvention and liberate other nations, notably us, from that burden. The key, it seems, lies in educating the rising generation of Afghans — in the liberal arts, as well as in the technologies needed to advance this new economic potential. There is hope there, too, not least because of the American University of Afghanistan (AUAF), the nation’s only private, nonprofit university. The school was launched with the help of a substantial grant from the United States Agency for International Development and built on 48 acres in Kabul. Instruction commenced in 2006, and the first class graduated last month. Today the school has 500 students, 20 percent of them women, and hopes to expand to 800 next year and to 2,000 in five years. Most Afghans can’t afford the tuition — 70 percent receive financial aid — and are being educated in large part through American donations. Some of those donors attended a dinner in Washington recently to hear from students and to honor former
first lady Laura Bush for her support of the university. A new fundraising project is under way for the Laura W. Bush Women’s Resource Center, which will be the cornerstone of a new library and student services building with classrooms, conference space and an auditorium. And you thought all she did was sit and smile. The dinner, held at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, was attended by many of those who have worked in the private sector to help bring opportunity to Afghans, especially women. In attendance were C. Michael Smith, university president; Leslie M. Schweitzer, chair of the Friends of the AUAF; Said T. Jawad, Afghanistan’s ambassador to the United States; and Caroline Hudson Firestone, who has dedicated herself to helping Afghan women and is the author of “Afghanistan in Transition,” to name but a few. It was one of those events familiar to Washingtonians where philanthropists and government officials convene to sip wine and, if the spirit moves the crowd, to write checks. If inspiration is the lubricant that compels luckier Americans to share prosperity, then this particular evening was rich. The highlight was the testimony of five students who trekked from Afghanistan to report on the results of American generosity. More than once, they urged the audience: “Don’t feel sorry for us, be there for us.” Each spoke variously of escaping the Taliban, losing family members, living as refugees in Pakistan. All spoke of feeling safe on the campus, of free speech, of open dialogue with professors and mutual respect — all miracles we take for granted. But one young woman stood out. Masooma Habibi, a graduate of Goldman Sachs’ “10,000 Women” program at the AUAF, founded an Internet-related consulting business in Kabul and employs nearly two dozen. Her head covered, she spoke softly in somewhat halting English. The AUAF is “like a dream,” she said. When Americans educate an Afghan, “you are playing with life, so thank you.” We knew just what she meant. It seems at times too much to hope that Afghanistan might ever become a stable country, where men and women could lead prosperous, peaceful lives. The key to that kind of future clearly lies in education. There's more to mine in Afghanistan than minerals. And there’s gold in these students. • • • Kathleen Parker’s e-mail address is kathleenparker@washpost.com.
Politicians are never off camera From talkingaboutpolitics.com blogger and political consultant Gary Pearce, commenting on the videotape that shows N.C. Congressman Bob Etheridge angrily confronting two men who had approached him with a video camera: The worst wounds in politics are self-inflicted. And Bob Etheridge has delivered himself a doozie of a boo-boo. Getting caught on tape looking like a bully is not helpful in an election year that already looks toxic for incumbents. But Etheridge can survive this. He made a good start by apologizing on camera. He gave the media a competing video clip. He put contrition up against anger. And he’s lucky on two counts: It’s June, not October. And he’s running for re-election, not the U.S. Senate. (Remember when the DSCC courted him?) In time, we’ll get the rest of the story about the guys who made the clip. As Etheridge asked, “Who are you?” And “who are you working for?” But let this be a lesson. In politics, you’re always on — on camera and on the record. In a YouTube world, anybody can be the media, and anybody can be an — unintended — media star. Suddenly, like Etheridge, you become famous for one minute of anger and frustration, not 14 years in Congress, eight years as state education superintendent, four terms in the state House and a stint as a Harnett County commissioner.

She needs a camera ambush: “Do you fully support the Tea Party agenda?”
ig Brother Is Watching You” was a pervasive propaganda punch line in British writer George Orwell’s classic novel “1984.” Orwell, one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, was also a committed socialist. Unlike many on the left, however, he had powerful personal involvement with working people, in part because he was one. His socialism stressed egalitarianism, while remaining hostile to concentrated state or corporate power. Orwell’s conARTHUR cerns are timeless, CYR and should be shared by everyone committed to individual freedom. Very current news in British politics and American business underscore the importance of citizen vigilance against abuse by very concentrated power, whether public or private. The leaders of Britain’s new government, Conservative David Cameron and Liberal Democrat Nick Clegg, have wisely pledged to repeal a national identity card program initiated by the previous Labour government. A card microchip linked to intimate data would have facilitated bureaucratic snooping. Meanwhile, amid launch of the latest iPhone, Apple’s leader Steve Jobs has given particular emphasis to protecting customer privacy. Internet companies face tremendous temptations to do the opposite. A wag once suggested that “1984” was really about 1948, a reference to the Stalinist dictatorships ruling in Eastern Europe as well as the Soviet Union when the novel was published. The Cold War had just emerged, and to many people the Soviet Union and allied communist parties around the world seemed the political wave of the future. The unprecedented military menace represented by Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan and their allies had just been defeated, at enormous human cost. Intense anti-communism seriously distorted domestic politics in the United States and the wider society intellectuals accused of left-wing views found their careers restricted, and in some cases destroyed. Very visible blacklisting of Hollywood screenwriters became a symbol of this widespread repression. Young University of California instructor David Saxon, later president of that institution, was fired because he refused to sign a loyalty oath. A partial antidote to such abuse is open economic competition. Britain has never had Big Brother, but the effects of Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s “Big Bang” deregulation of the financial system, and wider economy, have been important in facilitating freedom while promoting economic growth. Her heavy-handed style earned her the occasional sobriquet of “Big Sister,” but the reform was crucial to Britain’s economic growth, and reassertion of international influence, starting in the 1980s. A similar process unfolded in the U.S., beginning in the Carter administration and carried much further during Ronald Reagan’s White House years. The financial crises of the past decade, facilitated in part by deregulation gone too far, somewhat overshadow the durable beneficial consequences of this economic freedom. This in turn brings focus to Steve Jobs’ recent public statement. Apple has just passed Microsoft in total capitalization, a major accomplishment for a firm that was floundering before cofounder Jobs returned. Products that facilitate freedom, along with ease of use and aesthetic appeal, are now major Apple marketing themes. Meanwhile, competitor Google grapples with embarrassing accusations that extensive information on individuals has been collected. For example, Google Earth cars driving through random neighborhoods captured specific data from unsecure wireless outlets in unsuspecting households. Google’s recent display of courage in resisting China’s heavy-handed information control is therefore particularly helpful for the firm, as well as generally laudable. In our fascinating, fantastic information revolution, Cameron, Clegg and Jobs deserve special commendation. That’s because Big Brother is not watching you. Not yet. But he’d like to. • • • Arthur I.

Scientists now say ruptured Gulf well is leaking between 1.47M and 2.52M gallons of oil a day
DENVER (AP) — An American man has been detained in the mountains of Pakistan after Pakistani authorities found him carrying a sword, pistol and night-vision goggles on a Rambo-style solo mission to hunt down and kill Osama bin Laden. Friends and family say construction worker Gary Brooks Faulkner is a devout, good-humored Christian who has traveled widely in that part of the world. The 51-year-old Faulkner, who has a lengthy arrest record and served time in a Colorado prison, arrived June 3 in the town of Bumburate and stayed in a hotel there. He was assigned a police guard, as is common for foreigners visiting remote parts of Pakistan. When he checked out without informing police, officers began looking for him, according to the top police officer in the Chitral region, Mumtaz Ahmad Khan. Faulkner was found late Sunday in a forest. “We initially laughed when he told us that he wanted to kill Osama bin Laden,” Khan said. But when officers seized the weapons and night-vision equipment, “our suspicion grew.” He said the American was trying to cross into the nearby Afghan region of Nuristan.
Most people dissatisfied with Obama on oil spill WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans have become just as dissatisfied with President Barack Obama’s work on the Gulf oil spill as they were with his predecessor’s handling of Hurricane Katrina, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll released Tuesday. Even so, the catastrophe appears not to have taken a toll on how Americans view the president overall. Obama’s approval rating remained steady in the poll and he is more popular than President George W. Bush was two months after the hurricane. Bush alone took the hit in public perceptions. In the spill, much anger is steered at BP, and the poll suggests Americans do not feel quite the sense of shame that afflicted them in the 2005 hurricane aftermath. Still, Obama and his administration have struggled to contain the environmental disaster in the Gulf and now, it seems, to convince people that the government is acting effectively. Most Americans are angry about the government’s slow response, the poll finds, with 54 percent saying they had strong feelings about the bu-

Lightning strike destroys Jesus statue in Ohio
Democrats criticize lawmaker who says Obama favors blacks
MONROE, Ohio (AP) — A six-story statue of Jesus Christ was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, leaving only a blackened steel skeleton and pieces of foam that were scooped up by curious onlookers Tuesday. The “King of Kings” statue, one of southwest Ohio’s most familiar landmarks, had stood since 2004 at the evangelical Solid Rock Church along Interstate 75 in Monroe, just north of Cincinnati. The lightning strike set the statue ablaze around 11:15 p.m. Monday, Monroe police dispatchers said. The sculpture, about 62 feet tall and 40 feet wide at the base, showed Jesus from the torso up and was nicknamed Touchdown Jesus because of the way the arms were raised, similar to a referee signaling a touchdown. It was made of plastic foam and fiberglass over a steel frame, which is all that remained Tuesday. The nickname is the same used for a famous mural of the resurrected Jesus that overlooks the Notre Dame football stadium.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats on Tuesday denounced an Iowa Republican congressman who says President Barack Obama favors blacks over whites, and a GOP candidate from Colorado canceled a fundraiser the Iowan was to keynote. Rep. Steve King, known for sometimes incendiary remarks about immigration, Abu Ghraib and other issues, criticized Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder, who also is black, in an interview Monday on G. Gordon Liddy’s nationally syndicated radio talk show. “I’m offended by Eric Holder and the president also, their posture,” said King, 61. “It looks like Eric Holder said that white people in America are cowards when it comes to race.” King continued: “The president has demonstrated that he has a default mechanism in him that breaks down the side of race on the side that favors the black person in the case of professor Gates and officer Crowley.” He was alluding to last year’s incident in which Obama commented on a white police officer’s arrest of a black professor from Harvard University.
Arizona wants to deny citizenship for immigrants’ babies PHOENIX (AP) — Emboldened by passage of the nation’s toughest law against illegal immigration, the Arizona politician who sponsored the measure now wants to deny U.S. citizenship to children born in this country to undocumented parents. Legal scholars laugh out loud at Republican state Sen. Russell Pearce’s proposal and warn that it would be blatantly unconstitutional, since the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the U.S. But Pearce brushes aside such concerns. And given the charged political atmosphere in Arizona, and public anger over what many regard as a failure by the federal government to secure the border, some politicians think the idea has a chance of passage. “I think the time is right,” said state Rep. John Kavanagh, a Republican from suburban Phoenix who is chairman of the powerful House Appropriations Committee. “Federal inaction is unacceptable, so the states have to start the process.” Earlier this year, the Legislature set off a storm of protests around the country when it passed a law that directs police to check the immigration status of anyone they suspect is in the country illegally. The law also makes it a state crime to be an illegal immigrant. The measure, which takes effect July 29 unless blocked in court, has inflamed the national debate over immigration and led to boycotts against the state.

Flight attendant helps land plane to Chicago CHICAGO (AP) — Officials say a flight attendant who has a pilot’s license helped land a plane at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport when a co-pilot became ill. American Airlines spokeswoman Mary Frances Fagan says the co-pilot of a flight from San Francisco to Chicago on Monday became ill. Fagan says the flight’s pilot then checked if any offduty airline pilots were on board. A flight attendant told the captain that she is a commercial pilot and he asked her to fill in as a first officer. The plane landed safely. Officials say the first officer’s condition was not serious. He was treated at a local hospital and released.

Pet waste removal worker finds $58 packed in dog poop ST. LOUIS (AP) — This is why your mother says to wash your hands after handling money: A St. Louis worker found $58 — packed in dog poop. Steve Wilson works for DoodyCalls Pet Waste Removal. On a recent call, he noticed money sticking out from doggie doo. Wilson wasn’t sure what to do, but eventually pulled out the bills, sanitized them, placed them in a plastic zip-locked bag and returned them to the customer. It turned out to be $58. The company said the money was torn, but the serial numbers were identifiable, which means the bills could be returned to a bank and replaced with new money. The Association of Professional Animal Waste Specialists says Wilson is the first person in his profession to find and report money in dog poop.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Scientists provided a new estimate for the amount of oil gushing from a ruptured well in the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday that indicates it could be worse than previously thought. A government panel of scientists said that the ruptured well is leaking between 1.47 million and 2.52 million gallons a day of oil. That is an increase over previous estimates that put the maximum size of the spill at 2.1 million gallons per day. “This estimate brings together several scientific methodologies and the latest information from the sea floor, and represents a significant step forward in our effort to put a number on the oil that is escaping from BP’s well,” Energy Secretary Steven Chu said in a statement. The latest numbers reflect an increase in the flow that scientists believe happened after undersea robots earlier this month cut off a kinked pipe near the sea floor that was believed to be restricting the flow of oil, just as a bend in a garden hose reduces water flow. BP officials has estimated that cutting the kinked pipe likely increased the flow by up 20 percent. The pipe was removed so BP could install a containment cap that is trapping leaking oil and drawing it a ship waiting on the ocean surface.

BUDGET FROM 1A
water and sewer rates increase every year. The third incident happened Tuesday, Woodson said. “Today a man came to talk with me,” he said. “He said, ‘I want the truth. You told me three to four years ago I couldn’t use the water, now you’re telling me I can use the water.’ “Here’s the truth. Our water department is a business. We have an abundance of water. We are a business and we must sell water.” Woodson said everything on the budget was fine to him, “except for the raising of the water rates,” he said. “I don’t think we should raise it this year. I would have to vote against the budget. “I have no problems with the way the city’s run, but I do have a problem in going up every year.” Several people attending the council meeting clapped for Woodson after he made his case against the rising water and sewer rates. “We had a very comprehensive explanation yesterday from Mr. (Jim) Behmer and our city manager,” Mayor Susan Kluttz said following Woodson’s statements. “We spent over an hour just on this particular issue and the costs that are associated that have all been rising in that department. “I don’t feel that we have a choice.” Maggie Blackwell said she notified her neighbors in Fulton Heights, asking them to take a walk with her Monday to discuss the rising rates. “Most understood the need for some increase,” she said. Blackwell said she also solicited input on the rising rates to her friends via Facebook, and there was no opposition. Councilman Brian Miller had a greater concern that the rising prices for water and sewer. “The thing that bleeps out to me is the thing that’s called the cost coverage ratio,” he said. “I understand that there are people in our community that can’t afford to water their grass. But, we have to make sure we maintain a situation where our revenues on our utility exceed our cost.” Miller said he didn’t “discount” any of Woodson’s con-
stem the leak. The sad episode has raised doubts about his leadership and his administration’s response to what Obama has called the nation’s worst environmental disaster. He spoke from the Oval Office while seated at the storied Resolute desk, a bank of family photos and an American flag filling the backdrop. A president sometimes criticized as lacking emotion, Obama talked in a calm tone, no sign of the anger he showed earlier in the week concerning the spill. In one specific action, Obama announced former Justice Department inspector general Michael Bromwich as his choice for the new head of the agency that regulates the oil industry. Obama said Bromwich’s job at the helm of the federal Minerals Management Service is to “the oil industry’s watchdog, not its partner.” He also said that coming regulatory reforms would require stricter drilling safety measures and more robust spill response plans. With national frustration rising, Obama sought to defend his increasingly criticized efforts and to stoke new confidence that he can see the job through until the oil is gone and Gulf Coast lives are back to normal. He pledged not to rest until BP had been held accountable for all the damage its exploded well has caused and until the Gulf Coast region is restored. He did not repeat his earlier pledges to see the Gulf returned to “better shape than it was before.” Likening that process to a long epidemic instead of a single crushing disaster like an earthquake or hurricane, he warned that the nation could be tied up with the oil and its aftermath for months “and even years.” Said one spray-painted sign along the president’s Florida
motorcade route earlier in the day, as Obama capped a twoday inspection tour of the region: “Obama you are useless.” And yet, Obama’s overall approval rating has not yet dipped, remaining around the 50 percent mark. Further, the public still is far more eager to blame the company than the president, with the poll showing disapproval of BP up to 83 percent. On Capitol Hill, dominating the day before the president looked into the cameras from behind the storied Resolute desk, executives of the largest oil companies were grilled for hours by the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Lawmakers chastised chief executives representing ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips and Shell — as well as BPAmerica — for being no better prepared for the worst than BP. In sometimes-testy exchanges about the risks of seeking oil under a mile of water, the executives testified their companies would not have managed the Deepwater Horizon well in the same way, suggesting BP shortcuts led to the devastating outcome. Looking ahead to his White House showdown Wednesday morning with BP executives, Obama said he would “inform” them that the company must set aside in an independently run fund whatever resources are required to make whole all local residents and businesses hurt by the spill and to repair the immense ecological damage wrought by the oil. That meeting was to be followed by a presidential statement — his fourth planned remarks on the spill in three days. Later in the week, BP leaders take the Washington hot seat again, appearing before more congressional hearings.
cerns, however, said he was worried about the current cost average ratio of 1.17, and where it will go after rates are raised. “This particular budget actually impairs our cost coverage ratio,” he said. “We’re going from a 1.17, and our ratio will go down, even with a five percent increase. “It’s not responsible for us to not at least cover our expenses.” Councilman William “Pete” Kennedy agreed with Miller’s concerns, but voted in favor of the rate increases. “The water department gave us our trends and our challenges,” he said. “They said it (the rate) should be a little higher than 5.57. But I will support it.” Mayor Kluttz thanked Treme and the city staff for their preparation of a budget. “We came out better than most cities in North Carolina,” Kluttz said. “I know it was very difficult and there were many sacrifices made in the departments.” Treme said he felt like the budget met the needs and requests of the city council, “which were very difficult,” he said. “I think it’s a sound financial plan,” he said. “Hundreds if not thousands of hours went into this before you received it. Cuts were severe. “I did my very best.” Also on Tuesday’s agenda was the Empire Hotel, and the termination of its development contract with Empire Properties. “I’d rather not be here today delivering this message,” Executive Director of Downtown Salisbury Inc. Randy Hemann told the council. “I think most of us in this room understand that these are very difficult times in eh development world. Quite frankly, the way the economy is right now, the project is not going to move forward at this time.” Hemann said that despite the bad news, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. “We have changed our focus toward raising funds for revolving funds. And, the good news is, after 10 years of trying, we finally got the hotel. We still own the hotel.” Hemann said he showed the property last Friday to a developer, and to a different developer a few weeks prior. Councilman Miller said he was also not happy with the
current state of the project, but said the city and Downtown Salisbury Inc. are better off now than if the property had sold over a year ago. “This economic period we are in, it’s unprecedented in our lifetime,” he said. “My employer, BB&T, is willing to come into the loan pool as a partner, and we will also make a contribution to the project. “We’re going to figure this out. We’re going to keep working.” Mayor Kluttz expressed her discontent with the terminated contract. “I had been very excited about our plans,” she said. “We didn’t know times would change and they did.” She agreed with Hemann and Miller by saying the good news was that DSI still owned the property. “You all do such excellent work for us,” she said to Hemann. “We appreciate all the work you’ve done. So much work has gone on for so many years. “It’s a jewel in our downtown, there’s no question. If we have to wait for it to be done right, we’ll wait.” In other Salisbury City Council news Tuesday: • Salisbury Parks and Recreation Department has installed trail markers marking each tenth of a mile on the entire Salisbury Greenway. Four kiosks were also built in-house, saving the city thousands. • Doug Robinson and Frank Justin, both residents of West Henderson Street, petitioned the council to install four-way stops along Henderson Street. Justin gave the council 30 signed votes asking for multi-way stops, all residents on Henderson and immediate surrounding roads. • The council approved two zoning requests. The first rezoned 26 acres on Henderson Grove Church Road from light industrial (LI) to heavy industrial (HI). The second rezoned one-half acre with a residence, 721 Old Plank Rd., from urban residential to institutional campus. • The council issued a special use permit for the Salisbury Wine Shop, 106 S. Main St. • The council approved a lease contract to allow Duke Energy to place five antennae on a telecommunication tower located in Granite Quarry.

Obama declares in speech ‘reckless’ BP will pay Gulf cleanup WASHINGTON (AP) — Vowing to “make BP pay,” President Barack Obama accused the oil giant of “recklessness” in his first address to the nation from the Oval Office Tuesday night, eight weeks to the day after the catastrophic oil spill began destroying waterways, wildlife and a prized Gulf Coast way of life. “We will fight this spill with everything we’ve got for as long it takes,” declared Obama, whose own presidency has been stumbling because of the gushing oil. A new Associated Press-GfK poll even indicates as many Americans disapprove of his handling of the crisis — 52 percent — as felt that way about President George W. Bush’s handling of the Katrina aftermath. Obama offered no immediate remedies for a frustrated nation. Rather he announced he had asked former Mississippi Gov. Ray Mabus to develop a long-term Gulf Coast Restoration Plan — to be funded by BP PLC — in concert with local states, communities, fishermen, conservationists and residents “as soon as possible.” He did not detail what this effort — he called it a “battle plan” — should include or how much it might cost, a price sure to be in the billions of dollars. Whatever the bottom line, he declared to his prime-time television audience, “We will make BP pay.” That’s not certain, however. In declaring that BP won’t control the compensation fund for Gulf recovery, Obama failed to mention that the government won’t control it, either. The president meets BP executives in a White House showdown on Wednesday. Fifty-seven days into the crisis, oil continues to gush from the broken wellhead, millions of gallons a day, and Obama has been powerless to

finals to a decisive seventh game with a 89-67 victory over the Boston Celtics in Game 6 on Tuesday night. Ron Artest added 15 points for the Lakers, who stared down elimination by jumping to a 22-point lead during a dazzling first half. While limiting Boston to the second lowest-scoring performance in NBA finals history, the defending champions stretched the finals to the limit for the first time since 2005. A champion will be crowned Thursday night at Staples Center. Ray Allen scored 19 points for the

Thomas hits 2 of Legion’s 3 home runs BY BRET STRELOW
bstrelow@salisburypost.com
ALBEMARLE — Cody Laws and Rowan 13 a c t i n g Stanly 9 coach Ross Steedley picked up wins in relief for Rowan County on Tuesday. Rowan used a combined three homers, six runs, eight hits and 11 RBIs from Luke Thomas and Noah Holmes to establish a comfortable lead in a 13-9 victory at Stanly County. Laws and Alex Litaker pitched e f fectively out of the bullpen for THOMAS the visitors, who took a seven-run lead into the ninth. Steedley, a catcher at Charlotte, worked with pitching coach Travis McSweeney as Rowan returned to action without Jim Gantt, who was ejected from a game Sunday. “A couple of guys were joking with me, and Gantt said, ‘Don’t come back with a loss,’ ” said Steedley, who aspires to be a coach when his playing days are over. “We won, so hopefully he’ll be happy to see us. “He said he was taking his wife out to eat dinner, but knowing him, I’m sure he was listening.” STEEDLEY Rowan (10-7, 5-4) trailed 3-1 after an inning and tied the game on Thomas’ two-run homer in the third. Thomas had struck out in his first at-bat. “I’ve been striking out a lot all season,” he said. “Second at-bat, I thought, ‘I’ve been doing that all season, so it’s not like I can do any worse.’ That first homer just gave me a lot of confidence.” The first four of six runs allowed by starter Parker Gobbel were unearned, but Rowan pulled ahead 9-4 with a five-run fourth. A bunt single by Justin Morris loaded the bases for Holmes, who lined a two-run single off first baseman Luke Turner’s glove. Thomas followed with a three-run homer to center.

Championship memories
In 1955, Rowan natives led Wake to national title BY MIKE LONDON
mlondon@salisburypost.com
There are times when humans are permitted a brief glimpse of the future, and Salisbury native Bob Waggoner, Wake Forest’s first baseman, knew what was going to transpire well before it actually happened. The time was June 10, 1955. The place was Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Neb. The weather was cold. Waggoner had been told to anticipate 100-degree temperatures, but bonechilling rain and hail pounded down after the fifth inning of Wake Forest’s opener in the College World Series against Colgate. Play was suspended for 78 dreary minutes. Most of the crowd departed, but the field was deemed playable after a generous sprinkling of sand. Colgate lefty Larry Bossidy mowed down the Deacons before and after the storm. It was still 0-0 when he walked Waggoner on a 3-2 pitch to start the eighth inning. Wake pitcher Jack McGinley’s sacrifice
bunt moved Waggoner to second base. As Waggoner stood on the bag, he thought about how no team had ever lost its first game in the double-elimination event and come back to win it. He also considered the perilous footing around third base and realized it would cost him a precious half-second if he had to try to score on a single. Then he saw the future. “It occurred to me any play at the plate was likely to be close because of the field’s condition, and it was likely any hit would be shallow because Bossidy had only given up one hit and their outfield was playing in,” Waggoner said. “I decided to try and knock the ball out of the catcher’s mitt with my foot, while sliding, if the ball arrived at the same time I did.” With two out, Luther McKeel dumped a hit over second base. The center fielder charged the ball, as Waggoner charged gingerly around the treacherous third-base bag and steamed

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — The one shot that got so much attention during practice 10 years ago at Pebble Beach was a 4-iron that Tiger Woods hit so high, so straight, so flush that it landed softly near the pin on a brick-hard green at the par-3 12th. That wasn’t the case Tuesday at the U.S. Open. There is not much about Woods that looks the same as it once did. “Tiger!” he muttered to himself as his 4-iron sailed weakly to the left of the 12th green, closer to the gallery than the pin. On anoth- WOODS er chilly and overcast morning on the Monterey Peninsula, Woods hit two drives on the 13th — one left into a bunker, the other in the fairway — for his final shots of the day. His caddie retrieved the balls and followed Woods through an opening in the fence, into a van and back to the driving range. The course was too crowded, the practice round taking too long. Nothing is comparable, in so many ways, to the last U.S. Open he played at Pebble Beach. Ten years ago, Woods arrived at Pebble having won 12 times in the previous nine months. This year, he has finished only 13 rounds in the previous seven months. He was the overwhelming favorite in 2000, as he was at just about every tournament. This year, British bookmaker Williams Hill lists him as co-favorite with Masters champion Phil Mickelson at 8-1. The only thing particularly sharp about Woods was his tongue when a reporter asked about the status of his marriage. “That’s none of your business,” Woods barked back. If there is any comfort about this U.S. Open for the world’s No. 1 player, it’s his track record at Pebble Beach. He won the PGA Tour event in February with a five-shot rally in the final round, then sent shock waves through the golfing world with a game that was close to flawless. On a course in which no other player came close to breaking par, Woods finished at 12-under 272 to win by 15 shots. “That was really a wakeup call for a lot of guys,” said Ernie Els, who played in the final round with Woods that week. “A lot of guys started changing their game.”

Halladay hammered Associated Press Interleague capsules ... NEW YORK — Nick Swisher and the New York Yankees handed Roy Halladay a rare thumping, beating the Philadelphia Phillies and their new ace 8-3 Tuesday night in a World Series rematch. Mark Teixeira, Curtis Granderson and Swisher all homered off Halladay to build a comfortable cushion for CC Sabathia in a marquee pitching matchup that fizzled early. Brett Gardner laced a two-run triple in the second inning and the Yankees, who began the day tied with Tampa Bay for the AL East lead, won their ninth straight home game — the club’s best streak in its second-year ballpark. Sabathia (7-3) went seven innings, allowing five hits and striking out seven while winning his third consecutive start. Rangers 3, Marlins 2 MIAMI — Matt Treanor’s pinch-hit, tworun triple in the ninth inning lifted the Rangers to their sixth win in seven games. Josh Hamilton led off the ninth with a single and stole second before Justin Smoak popped up and David Murphy advanced him on a groundout. Julio Bourbon walked before Treanor’s hit off Leo Nunez (2-1). Neftali Feliz pitched a scoreless ninth for his 16th save in 18 opportunities. Mets 7, Indians 6 CLEVELAND — Johan Santana won for the first time in four starts. Santana (5-3) gave up four runs and seven hits over seven innings as the Mets won their fifth straight and ninth of 10, helped out by a nifty bit of baserunning by Jose Reyes. The left-hander fell behind early, and struck out only one, but earned his first win since beating the New York Yankees in another interleague game on May 23. Red Sox 6, Diamondbacks 3 BOSTON — David Ortiz homered, Dustin Pedroia scored three runs and Clay Buchholz had another solid start. Buchholz (9-4) allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk, striking out eight in 52⁄3 innings for his sixth win in seven starts. Jonathan Papelbon pitched the ninth for his 14th save. White Sox 6, Pirates 4 PITTSBURGH — Gordon Beckham drove in three runs and the Chicago White Sox spoiled former first-round draft pick Brad Lincoln’s first start at home, extending the lastplace Pirates’ losing streak to nine games. Ramon Castro doubled in a run while reaching base four consecutive times. Andrew McCutchen matched his career high with three stolen bases while getting three hits and a walk for Pittsburgh. Tigers 7, Nationals 4 DETROIT — Slumping Ryan Raburn hit his first homer of the season and drove in four runs. Raburn drew a bases-loaded walk in the second inning, then hit a leadoff single that started a two-run fourth to make it 4-all. He hit a three-run homer in the fifth.

Izzo says no Associated Press
The NBA notebook ... EAST LANSING, Mich. — Tom Izzo is staying at Michigan State, turning down a chance to coach the Cleveland Cavaliers and perhaps LeBron James. “I knew at the beginning that whatever decision I made would be a decision for life,” Izzo said during a news conference on campus. “I am going to be a lifer. This is what I’m going to be, and I’m damn proud of it.” For the past nine days, Izzo has been trying to decide whether to leave the place that has been his home since 1983 and jump to the NBA to perhaps make $6 million — doubling his salary — and possibly coaching one of the best basketball players in the world. “Just as I decided to stay home, I hope a 6-8, 270pound forward in Cleveland decides to stay home,” Izzo said in a statement released by the school. KERR OUT PHOENIX — Steve Kerr won’t return as general manager of the Phoenix Suns, despite building a team that made a surprising run to the NBA’s Western Conference finals. Kerr said at a news con-
ference Tuesday that reports of a contract disagreement with owner Robert Sarver were untrue. “This has nothing to do with money or contracts or anything like that,” he said. “This is a professional and a personal decision that I’m very, very comfortable with. My family’s excited about it, too.” NETS EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — An optimistic Avery Johnson has taken over as coach of the New Jersey Nets. Bringing a broad smile to a televised news conference on Tuesday, Johnson brought out all the cliches and boldly predicted that the Nets have the potential to go from the NBA’s worst team to the best. Johnson didn’t lay out a time line for turning around a team that won a league low 12 games last season. He insisted the “sky is the limit” with a couple of young talented players on the roster, the third pick overall in next week’s draft and a rich Russian owner who seemingly will spend money during next month’s free agent bonanza. WADE COUNTY MIAMI— Dwyane Wade is getting his own county.
NBA FINALS FROM 1B
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tom Izzo talks to youngsters about shooting the ball during his basketball camp. By unanimous vote, Miami-Dade County commissioners declared Tuesday that the area would be known as “Miami-Wade County” from July 1-7, a week that coincides with the start of NBA free agency. The resolution was written “in recognition of all that Dwyane Wade has done for the visibility, stature and national image” of the county. PARKER NEW YORK — For Tony Parker, this summer is a vacation. He didn’t rush from the Spurs to French national team duties. The star guard is skipping the world championships.
33 percent shooting and a 52-39 rebounding advantage for the Lakers. “We did a great job,” Bryant said. “We have to come with the same energy, the same dedication to defense (in Game 7).” Bryant grabbed 11 rebounds, and Gasol led the Lakers with nine assists in a remarkable bounce-back game for Los Angeles, which dominated from the opening minutes by vacuuming up rebounds and playing relentless defense. The Lakers’ bench largely took care of the rest, outscoring Boston’s reserves while the Celtics failed to make a run. “Our defense was good, our rebounding was better,” Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. “We had some good luck on some tips and offensive rebounds, and those things changed the course of the game.” These rivals have played a Game 7 four times in their 12 previous finals meetings, with Boston winning all four. But it hasn’t happened since 1984 — and it hasn’t happened to Bryant, who looks determined to stake his claim among the NBA’s greats in pursuit of his fifth championship. Bryant was a one-man band for much of the Lakers’ three-game stay in Boston, but Los Angeles was a symphony in Game 6. Gasol was a constant low-post presence and playmaker after disappearing for long stretches of the series, while Artest harnessed his wildly inconsistent jumper and hit three 3-pointers. With first lady Michelle Obama watching from a luxury box, the Lakers were on their best behavior — and the Celtics responded terribly to the chance to clinch a title. Paul Pierce scored 13 points and Kevin Garnett added 12, but the Celtics’ offense was a jumbled, stand-around mess. Rajon Rondo, the late-game hero in Boston’s last appearance in Los Angeles, got off to a 1-for8 shooting start before finishing with 10 points and six assists.

Rajon Rondo reacts late in the second half. “I thought we’d play better, obviously,” Boston coach Doc Rivers said. “I thought we were ready. ... We played an individual game tonight on both ends. We never gave ourselves an opportunity offensively, because we never trusted each other. Everybody was out to make their own place.” After earning the NBA’s second-best road record during the regular season, the Celtics must win on the road again to avoid becoming just the third team to blow a 3-2 series lead in the 2-3-2 finals format. The Celtics lost starting center Kendrick Perkins in the first quarter to a sprained right knee when he landed awkwardly under the hoop, but his absence couldn’t explain the Lakers’ utter domination of the first half — a 30-13 rebounding edge while holding Boston to 34 percent shooting and frustrating Rondo. There hasn’t been a winner-take-all finals game since San Antonio finished off Detroit five years ago.

CARROLL RESPONDS RENTON, Wash. — Pete Carroll says the NCAA had no basis for ’really harsh’ sanctions on the Southern California football program, reiterating he didn’t leave to escape penalties. Carroll answered questions Tuesday for the first time since the NCAA came down hard on USC, mainly for improper benefits received by former star rusher Reggie Bush during Carroll’s tenure. The new coach of the Seahawks says he was “responsible” as USC’s head coach, but that there was no way for him to know Bush was being wooed by an offcampus agent. PANTHERS CHARLOTTE — The Carolina Panthers have signed their first two draft picks, striking deals with sixth-round selection David Gettis and seventh-round choice R.J. Stanford. The 6-foot-3 Gettis is a receiver from Baylor who is expected to contend for a reserve spot and a role on special teams. The 5-foot-10 Stanford is a cornerback from Utah. He will compete for a job behind starters Chris Gamble and Richard Marshall and nickel back Captain Munnerlyn. Tuesday’s deals leave the Panthers with eight unsigned rookie picks, including quarterback Jimmy Clausen — a second-round selection.

The NFL notebook ... EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giants tested the turf at their new stadium Tuesday and had mixed results on the first day of their three-day mandatory minicamp. The Giants’ afternoon workout inside the New Meadowlands Stadium on Tuesday drew an estimated 7,000 onlookers. The new FieldTurf field at the $1.6 billion arena claimed wide receiver Domenik Hixon, whose right foot got caught in the soft surface on a punt return. Overall, the Giants considered the afternoon practice a success, despite the low fan turnout, which earlier in the day was expected to be about 30,000. Quarterback Eli Manning said getting a workout in the new stadium should help the team when they open the preseason against their coinhabitants, the Jets, on Aug. 16. “It was good to come out here and get a feel for the wind,” Manning said. “It gets us ready for the preseason games, regular-season games. We’ll be prepared.” GOODELL MEETING RENTON, Wash. — Saying he has “rededicated” himself to playing football and being a better person, Leroy Hill practiced with the Seattle Seahawks for the first time this offseason. The starting linebacker’s return on Tuesday came after a recent meeting with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to discuss Hill’s legal troubles. “Oh, man, I’m super happy,” the four-year starter said following his first practice since an arrest April 10 for investigation of domestic violence. “I’m with my teammates, playing football and everything. I’m happy to be back.” VIKINGS MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota Vikings star running

NEW YORK — Now that the Big 12 has survived the storm, the massive upheaval that many in college athletics have been bracing for seems far less likely. “I felt like there was either going to be very significant change or very little,” Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick said in a telephone interview Tuesday. “Now I feel like we’re trending toward relatively small change for the moment.’ A potentially huge change was averted Monday when Texas declined an invitation to the Pac-10. With the Longhorns committed to the Big 12, the rest of the league’s remaining teams fell in line and decided that life without Colorado (heading to the Pac-10) and Nebraska (off to the Big Ten) would be fine — and profitable. Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe held a conference call with reporters Tuesday and provided some details about how he went about saving his league. He also said something that might give a hint to where college sports is — or is not — heading in the future. “This process resulted in so many people in our business and our enterprise telling me that it would not be beneficial to what we do to have these mega-conferences,” he said. All this expansion angst started back in December when the Big Ten announced that it would explore the possibility and make a decision in 12-18 months. Commissioner Jim Delany and the Big Ten’s hierarchy seemed perfectly fine with taking their sweet time until Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott decided to raid the Big 12. “What was surprising was the effort on the part of the Pac-10 to go to 16 teams,” said Neal Pilson, president of the Pilson Communications media consulting firm and a former president of CBS Sports. “That was a tsunami that would have had serious consequences for
college football. The domino effect of doing that would have impacted the ACC, the Big East as well as the Big 12. “ Big East commissioner John Marinatto has to feel better than he did 48 hours ago, because if indeed there is another uprising in the works it could be his league fighting for survival. “The more we can maintain the status quo, the more we can continue to maintain the status quo,” said Nick Carparelli, senior associate commissioner in the Big East. With the Big 12 scrambling to decide which members were in and which were out, Nebraska said goodbye to that league and became the Big Ten’s 12th member. Delany has said the Big Ten might not stop at 12. But the league didn’t swoop in to save Missouri from a Big 12 collapse. If Delany is thinking along the lines of Scott, he’s going to have pry some teams from the Big East and maybe, finally, get Notre Dame to join the Big Ten. While just a few days ago anything seemed possible — Texas and Oklahoma in the Southeastern Conference! — the Big East being sacrificed for the Big Ten’s benefit does not seem likely. “I applauded Dan Beebe for not giving up and trying to put something together, something that might have a major impact on the future if intercollegiate athletics,” WAC commissioner Karl Benson said. Benson is in the market for at least one team these days, with last week’s departure of Boise State to the Mountain West Conference. Benson said he expects to invite one or two schools to the WAC this summer.. Meanwhile, Craig Thompson’s big move of landing Boise State in an effort to make the MWC the seventh conference with an automatic bid to the BCS, could lose some of its luster if the Pac10 plucks Utah from the Mountain West to complete a 12-team lineup and allow the Pac-10 to have a football championship game.

NEW YORK — The golf cart will be ready to whisk Jimmie Johnson to the helicopter, which will be waiting to rush him to the plane. The four-time defending Sprint Cup champion has all the details covered in case his wife goes into labor while he’s at Sonoma this weekend. He and wife Chandra are expecting their first child next month. The baby is due during the break between the July 10 race in Chicago and July 25 in Indianapolis, but Johnson is prepared should he become a father early. Part-time Cup driver Aric Almirola is set to serve as an emergency fill-in if need be. Johnson just hopes he can drive at least the first lap of the upcoming races, because that would mean he’d receive any points the car earns. “That’s our first goal,” he told The Associated Press. “I guess there is a situation that could exist where I can’t be in the car for the first lap. My wife and I don’t want that to be the case.” Everybody else around them appears less worried. “The team seems to be very relaxed as of right now, and my sponsors, saying, ’Hey, you need to be there for the birth of your child,”’ he added. “So fingers are crossed, legs are crossed, toes are crossed. We’re trying to make sure we have a little luck on our side.” Johnson was in New York on Tuesday for Samsung’s Hope for Children banquet.

then. The next step for the Deacons was a best-of-three series on the road against Southern Conference champ West Virginia. That series is notable because Wake had its ace, Lefty Davis, on the mound and took a 7-1 lead to the ninth, with a chance to clinch the series, but West Virginia staged a rally for the ages. Wake still rebounded to win the third game and the series. Twenty-one hours after returning home, the Deacons were required to travel by rail to Winter Park, Fla, to take on Rollins, the 1954 national runner-up, for the district title. Wake swept Rollins to qualify for Omaha. The charter to Omaha on a twinengine DC-3 was the first flight for most of Wake’s wide-eyed players. “It was a bit disconcerting to look out the windows and watch oil from the radial engines flow back over the wings and out into the slip stream,” Waggoner said. Oklahoma A&M (later Oklahoma State) was favored to win the Series, but Waggoner’s slide in Game 1 kept Wake in the hunt.
Wake faced adversity. It had flown to Omaha without Davis, who was tied down in summer school. Authorities gave permission to Davis to fly to Omaha on a Saturday to pitch Wake’s second game in the Series, but that game was postponed until Sunday. When it got to play, Wake rolled 10-0 over Colorado State behind Davis. Waggoner was part of two double steals and Barnes knocked in three runs, The bad news was the Deacs lost right fielder and captain Tommy Cole to an injury. That Sunday game was viewed as sinful by Wake’s conservative administration, a transgression that would eventually lead to the firing of coach Taylor Sanford. Wake’s third game, a 9-0 loss to Western Michigan, pushed the Deacons to the brink of elimination. Next was a rematch with Western Michigan. Barnes had a basesloaded triple, followed by a steal of home. He helped the Deacons build a 10-1 lead and they held on 10-7. On June 15, Wake beat Oklahoma A&M 2-0 to reach the championship game — a third matchup
with Western Michigan. McRae had been quiet in the series, but the finale was his game. He went 5-for-5 with five ropes and added a sensational catch of a sinking liner in the eighth. The final out in Wake’s victory was a groundball that Barnes fielded at third. His throw to first base to end the series would always remain the biggest thrill of his athletic career — even bigger than winning the 1960 NFL title game. The Deacons won the World Series despite batting .203 in six games. Then they flew home as heroes to Raleigh-Durham Airport. Wake’s triumph was the first national title in any sport by a North Carolina school and also was the first title won by the ACC. No ACC team has won the World Series since the Deacons did it. Florida State and Clemson still have an opportunity to break that drought, and the 1955 Deacs will watch them take the field in Omaha with mixed emotions. “We have a distinction that is a surprise to all of us,” Waggoner said.
Braves’ Jones might retire Associated Press
ATLANTA — Struggling through another disappointing season, Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones told The Associated Press he was meeting with team officials Tuesday to discuss his future and acknowledged that he’s considering retirement. Jones declined to comment directly on whether he’ll retire at the end of the season, but it seemed clear that he’s made up his mind and merely needed to work out a settlement with the team over the $28 million in guaranteed money he’s owed for the 2011 and 2012 seasons. “It’s obvious that it’s something I’ve been thinking about,” Jones told the AP after arriving at Turner Field in his blue pickup truck about 2:15 p.m. “I need to go through the proper channels. Once those have all been taken care of, everybody’s questions will be answered.” The 38-year-old Jones, who won the NL MVP award in 1998 and led the league in hitting just two years ago, met before batting practice with team president John Schuerholz, general manager Frank Wren and manager Bobby Cox. “As best as I can gather right now, he’s thinking about retiring after this year,” Cox said. “But I can’t give a definitive answer.” Jones told the AP he planned to discuss some “red tape issues” with team officials. Asked if those involved a resolution of his contract, Jones replied, “That would be fair to
say.” He struggled last season and indicated that another difficult year would likely lead him to consider retirement, even if it meant walking away from a huge amount of money. This season has been even tougher for Jones, though the Braves are leading the NL East. He’s battled injuries and was hitting just .228 with three homers and 22 RBIs heading into the opener of a three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Braves have gotten more production at third base out of utility infielders Omar Infante (.314, one homer, 16 RBIs) and Brooks Conrad (.280, three homers, 12 RBIs), which has made Jones’ troubles stand out even more. “Well, anytime you’ve struggled at the plate and you’re having trouble producing, it’s frustrating,” Jones told the AP, standing outside the Braves clubhouse. “I’m used to being in the middle of everything, but it hasn’t been happening. Hopefully I’ll have a better second half and really help contribute to this team staying in first place.” The team later put out a statement saying Jones would not be available to the media Tuesday. He took part in batting practice and was listed in the preliminary lineup, batting in his usual third spot. On an 11-game road trip, he played just three games because of an ailing finger. “He’s been bothered by that finger, but he’s fine right now,” Cox said. “We’ve got him back in there. Hope-

Atlanta’s Chipper Jones is having a disappointing year. fully he can lead us to a championship.” Baseball already lost one of the generation’s biggest stars when Ken Griffey Jr. abruptly retired this month in the middle of his 22nd season. Jones has put together a career that could get him in the mix for Cooperstown — he had 429 career homers and trailed only Mickey Mantle (536) and Eddie Murray (504) among switch-hitters. Jones has long been the face of the Braves’ offense, helping Atlanta wins its lone World Series title as a rookie in 1995 and significantly contributing to an unprecedented run of 14
straight division titles. His best year was 1999, when he led the Braves to the NL championship and was named MVP after hitting .319 with 45 homers and 110 RBIs. Then came the injuries, which started in 2004 and led to a stretch of five straight seasons in which he missed at least 25 games. He continued to produce when healthy, putting up 29 homers and 102 RBIs in 2007, followed by a .364 average the next season that gave him his first NL batting championship. Jones’ numbers dipped dramatically in 2009. He batted only .264 — the second-lowest average of his 16year career.
A-Rod still sidelined by nagging groin injury Associated Press
The baseball notebook ... NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez was out of the New York Yankees’ lineup again Tuesday night, still sidelined by a sore groin for the opener of a World Series rematch against Philadelphia. “We want to be smart about this and take more of a long-term approach,” Rodriguez said. “Obviously, it’s something we have to keep an eye on.” The slugger said the plan was
for him to return to the lineup Wednesday night, either at third base or as the designated hitter. Rodriguez sat out a three-game sweep of Houston last weekend with what the Yankees have called tendinitis in his right hip flexor. He explained again, however, that the soreness he feels is deep in the groin area. TRADE PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks traded outfielder Conor Jackson to the Oakland Athletics for minor league closer Sam Demel
on Tuesday, the first of what could be a series of moves by the sputtering team. Demel, a 24-year-old right-hander, was third-round draft pick out of TCU in 2007. He 2-0 with a 1.26 ERA and six saves in 28 appearances for Triple-A Sacramento this season. The 28-year-old Jackson was batting .238 with a home run, 11 doubles and 11 RBIs in 42 games for Arizona. He missed all but the first 30 games of last season after contracting “valley fever,” an illness
that brings on extreme fatigue. CUBS CHICAGO — The Chicago Cubs activated left-handed pitcher John Grabow from the 15-day disabled list and optioned right-hander Mitch Atkins to Triple-A Iowa. DODGERS CINCINNATI — The Los Angeles Dodgers plan to put pitcher Chad Billingsley on the disabled list because of a groin injury. Billingsley hurt himself during his last inning on Friday against the Angels, manager Joe Torre said.
“In the playoffs at East and the start of this season, I’ve been in a really bad slump and not been swinging it well,” said Thomas, who went 4-for-6 with six RBIs and three runs. “Tonight I felt like I finally broke out of it.” Stanly ( 6 - 6, 4-6) drew within 9-6 in the bottom of the fourth before Laws entered LAWS with one out and the bases loaded. He induced a 6-4-3 double play. Holmes hit a two-run homer in the fifth, and Laws ended that inning by forcing Stanly to ground into another double play. He also worked a scoreless sixth, and Litaker struck out the side in the seventh while pitching around an error. “About two weeks ago, me and him had two bad outings in a row, each of us,” Laws said. “We sat down, talked to each other, and we’ve been working on our mechanics an hour before practice every day trying to get everything down.” Litaker had one strikeout in a perfect eighth that included two nice scoops from first baseman Andy Austin. Bradley Robbins allowed three runs in the ninth, but Will Johnson halted the rally.

DR. GOTT & BRIDGE
Couple to provide gift of life to others Bridge: Keep your eye on communication site www.organdonor. gov/ donor/index.htm. In terms of donating your body to medical science, as far as I can tell, every medical school accepts donations. In fact, the supply can’t meet the demand. There are restrictions regarding geographic locations because of transportation costs involved. Offers outside a specific area may be accepted, however, providing a donor’s estate bears the cost of transportation. Specific details can be obtained from the bequeathal secretary of your nearest medical school. The process is relatively simple when all rules are followed. Under the Human Tissue Act (HTA) of 2004, written and witnessed consent for anatomical examination must be given prior to death by the person donating his or her remains. No one else can donate a cadaver postmortem. The HTA licenses and inspects all establishments that use donated bodies for research and teaching purposes. Specific forms for donation should be obtained from the medical school nearest you, and family members should be advised of your decision to make the donation. By law, no medical school in the United States is allowed to buy a body from a family or estate. Other than being 18 years of age or older, there is no age limit when donating to medical science, because a determination of acceptance is based on physical condition. There is no price tag involved for the donation. Generally speaking, a body is accepted
by an institution within 48 hours and transported by a licensed funeral director. In the state of Connecticut, only the eyes may be donated for transplant when a body is donated for teaching purposes. The body is embalmed, prepared, and stored in a secure manner until needed for teaching purposes. Keep in mind that the school might reject some people for various reasons, including extreme obesity, being grossly underweight, dehydration or carrying an infectious disease, so a backup plan should be considered. The demand for specific organs and bodies for research far outweighs the availability. According to the Organ and Tissue Donation and Transplantation website, about 77 people receive organ transplants each day, while 19 others die waiting for such transplants that can’t take place because of the shortage of donated organs. Giving a “gift of life” can save the lives of as many as 50 people. That’s an impressive statistic that can’t be denied. I commend you and your husband on making such an important decision. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

Comedian Bill Cosby said, “Men and women belong to different species, and communication between them is a science still in its infancy.” Bridge communication is a science not in its infancy; it has been recognized since the birth of the game. However, it is still overlooked by the inexperienced, whether men or women. Try this one on for size. You are in three no-trump. West leads the spade seven. What would be your plan? The South hand is well worth a two-no-trump opening because 18 of its points are in aces and kings. You apparently start with nine top tricks: two spades (given the lead), one heart, five diamonds and one club.
News 24 hours a day.
But the diamond suit is blocked. After playing off your ace and king, you need some way to get to the board for the other three diamond winners. What are the possible entries to the board? Either black queen might do the job. Now analyze the opening lead. Assuming it is fourthhighest from West’s longest and strongest, you can apply the Rule of Eleven. Subtract seven (the value of the card led) from 11. The answer, four, tells you that there are four spades higher than the seven in the North, East and South hands combined. And you can see all four: dummy’s queen and your trio. East cannot have a high spade. This means that you can get to the dummy with the spade queen if you are careful to take trick one with your king. Then un-

block your two diamond honors and lead a spade toward the board. West cannot stop you. Note that if you win the first trick cheaply in your hand, West can keep you off the board.

Dear Dr, Gott: My husband and I have decided to be organ donors. We are also discussing donating our bodies to medical science. Can you please discuss the details of making a cadaver donation? How do we find the right institution to donate to, and what to be DR. PETER needs done in adGOTT vance? What costs are involved, and can the donor specify what can and cannot be done with the body? In terms of medical science, please explain exactly what the body is used for, how it is used, and what is done with any remains. Thank you in advance for the information. Dear reader: To begin with, there is a great difference between organ donation and donating a body to medical science. Furthermore, there are several types of donations, including organ and tissue from a living donor, donations following cardiac or brain death, and whole-body donations. Organ donation can include stem cells, tissue, blood and organs. If this is your wish, register with your state donor registry if you have one. Not all states do, so don’t be concerned if you live in a state that lacks a registry. Have the notation incorporated onto your driver’s license, and sign a donor card that you carry with you at all times. Donor cards can even be downloaded from the web-
