U.S. exec must clean up oil spill and BP’s image
Painting and drawing fill artist’s days
SHAVONNE POTTS/SALISBURY POST
LONDON (AP) — BP’s new strategy to clean up its image and the Gulf Coast is to hand the job from its British CEO, widely criticized for tone-deaf comments and yachting amid the crisis, to one of its top-ranking Americans. Bob Dudley is no stranger to tough situations, having protected his company’s interests in rough dealing in Russia even after he was barred from the country. Perhaps most importantly, he is a fresh face for the oil giant as it attempts to fix the spill and protect its future. Dudley will take over as BP’s point man on the spill response, reporting to CEO Tony Hayward. Company officials have variously put the time frame at anywhere from immediately until after the spill is plugged, which isn’t likely to happen until August. Hayward’s gaffes include saying, “I’d like my life back,” and most recently enjoying a yacht race off the coast of England on Saturday while oil spill relief workers sweated it out. BP officials, however, say the switch is intended to allow Hayward to focus on running the company, rather than an attempt to bounce back from bad publicity. Dudley, BP’s managing director, spent part of his boyhood in Hattiesburg, Miss., an easy drive from the coast. The 54-year-old spent two decades climbing the ranks at Amoco Corp., which merged with BP, and lost out to Hayward on the CEO’s slot three years ago. Analysts say Dudley’s job will involve nothing short of rehabilitating the environment, compensating everyone who has suffered a loss and generally salvaging BP’s global image. Dudley has plenty of experience protecting BP’s interests under great pressure. As chief of TNK-BP, a joint venture with a consortium of Russian billionaires, he steered the firm through a series of politically explosive disputes that saw one employee charged with espionage, the company’s offices raided by Russian intelligence, an investor boycott and a barrage of tax and labor investigations. In the teeth of a Russian effort to remove him from office, Dudley clung on until 2008, at one point running the company from abroad after Russian authorities barred him from the country. Despite fears that BP’s partners would expropriate the British company’s share of the venture, BP has managed
Joseph Heilig, a Salisbury artist, for years didn't pick up a paint brush, but has recently started painting again.

When Joseph Heilig was in first grade, he created his own cartoon characters. As a fan of comic books, he began drawing his own heroes and heroines. His love of drawing led him to an art and design school in his native New York when he was a preteen. He lived in the Queens Bridge housing projects in Long Island City. “Life was tough. There was drugs and shootings going on. There was a touch of racism. We did what we could to survive,” he said of his childhood. As a child he could just think of something and draw how he thought it should fit together. “I always had an imagination. I would sit down and sometimes I would get some stuff from life and stuff that was in my head and put them together,” he said. Heilig graduated art school and eventually entered trade school for refrigeration, but had to leave because he was unable to continue paying for classes. “I was preoccupied with the streets,” he admits. He used to escape with alcohol. No drugs, he’s quick to say, but he was a drinker. “I used to drink, now I don’t need that stuff anymore. I don’t need that to open my mind and express myself,” Heilig said. Heilig didn’t pick up a pencil or paint for sometime. In 1999, he came to Salisbury, where he had family. His mother was born in Salisbury. When he first arrived in Salisbury, he drew a little, creating portraits and design work, but stopped to return to work full time. “Life was much different,” he said. Coming down South was sort of a culture shock for Heilig, who was used to people who never spoke to strangers and stores with bars on the windows. “Living in the South, people were friendly. I was shocked at how nice people were,” Heilig said. His first job was at Sam’s Car Wash. He moved to several other jobs over the years including the Stadium Club, a sports bar in what is now a Mexican restaurant along Jake Alexander Boulevard. Heilig has also worked at Catawba College and in textiles. “When the recession hit, that’s when things went bad,” he said. Heilig found himself out of work and at Rowan Helping Ministries after he lost his apartment. He told a friend that he could draw, but the friend didn’t believe him. So Heilig drew something. In 2007, Heilig began drawing again. Heilig, now 54, paints or sketches every day. “I do a lot of pencil work, pen, color pencil, watercolor, pastels, acrylic and oils,” he said. He does abstract, still life, portraits, illustrations and designs. His favorite subject to paint is animals. “You don’t have to pay animals to sit. Plus people like animals,” he said. He’s sold very little as of late, but hopes to sell more work. “I want an opportunity to show my art,” he said. Heilig’s pieces are very dear to him — some of them he’s not willing to sell. “I like my artwork so much it’s hard to part with,” he said. His passion is an expensive one,

Tornado rips businesses, arena in Montana
Salisbury artist Joseph Heilig painted these animal portraits. He attended art school as a teenager, but for a time did not pick up a paint brush, until a few years ago. Heilig admits. One that requires money that he doesn’t have. He sometimes barely has enough money for food. Heilig has bartered for materials and supplies. His art supply will soon run out. He hasn’t thought far into the future as to what he’ll do when he’s down to the last of his paints. For now, he spends his days going to the

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A tornado that ripped the roof off a sports arena in Billings, Mont., Sunday evening also tore through businesses, damaging a bar and a casino and leaving just the walls of an auto glass shop standing. The tornado struck at about 5 p.m. as a big storm system with golf ball-sized hail passed through the area. After running through Main Street in the city’s northeast area, the twister moved toward the 10,000-seat Rimrock Auto Arena about a half-mile away, where it hovered for about 15 minutes, snapping trees and telephone poles. “It would touch down and suck back up and touch down and touch down again,” said Trooper Toman Baukema of the Montana Highway Patrol, who saw the tornado from a patrol station about a mile away. Big pieces of metal could be seen hanging from power lines near the arena, and tangles of insulation and metal debris were strewn for hundreds of yards in the surrounding industrial area. There were several employees inside the arena when it struck, but there were no reports of injuries, Baukema said. Billings police Lt. Mark Cady said the only

Clarification Saturday’s story, “Board to consider budget,” included projections from Rowan County Manager Gary Page about cuts the county may have to make in 2011-12. The county will not have to take these measures in the coming fiscal year, 2010-11, and they are not included in the budget to be discussed Monday. Page said if Rowan County continues spending much more than it takes in, either taxes would have to be raised or significant cuts would have to be made. These would including county employee furlough days or a salary cut, halved funding to nonprofit groups and reduced park and library hours. The county is avoiding these cuts this year by taking money from its fund balance, but it may not be able to do so in the future.
YESTERDAY This photograph of a seventh-grade field trip from J.C. Price High School in 1938 belongs to Virginia Pharr Wilson, historian for the Price National Alumni Association, which held its reunion in Salisbury this past weekend. It was the first reunion to celebrate the school’s inclusion this year on the National Register of Historic Places. Price High School included grades 7-12 and was Salisbury’s black high school from 1932 through the 1968-69 school year. Rowan Public Library currently has an exhibit of photos from J.C. Price High that is titled, “Cherish the Black and Red.” Salisbury historian Betty Dan Spencer scanned this photo from Wilson’s collection.
Yoga, running and wine can help combat symptoms of RLS Q: I have restless leg syndrome, are there any exercises that can help it? A: Let me explain what restless leg syndrome is first. Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder characterized by unpleasant sensations in the legs and an uncontrollable urge to move when at rest. RLS sensations are often described as burning, ESTER creeping, MARSH tugging or like insects crawling inside your legs (yikes!) There are different ranges of severity from uncomfortable to irritating to painful. The most distinctive aspect of RLS is when lying down and trying to relax, it activates the symptoms. So as a result most people with RLS have a hard time falling asleep or wake up with symptoms. How do you get it? In most cases the cause is unknown. A family history of RLS is seen in about 50 percent of cases. In other cases RLS appears to be related to the following factors or conditions (research has not proven if these factors actually cause RLS) • People with low iron
Lottery numbers — RALEIGH (AP) — These North Carolina lotteries were drawn Sunday: Cash 5: 12-16-19-3037, Evening Pick 3: 9-7-6, Mega Millions: Estimated jackpot: $26 million, Pick 4: 9-1-4-3, Powerball: Estimated jackpot: $97 million
levels or anemia are prone to developing RLS; • Chronic diseases such as kidney failure, diabetes, Parkinson’s and periphereral neuropathy are associated with RLS; • Some pregnant women may experience RLS; • Certain medications such as antinausea drugs, antiseizure drugs and some cold and allergy medications may aggravate symptoms; • Research has also found that caffeine, alcohol and tobacco may aggravate or trigger symptoms in patients who are predisposed to develop RLS. When you have your leg “jerking” while you are trying to sleep or rest the last thing on your mind is to exercise that leg. After doing research on this subject I found that exercising your legs is excellent therapy for RLS. I found that yoga is one of the best ways to combat RLS. Yoga features both physical and mental components, allowing you to calm your entire system down. You might find that breathing exercises and stretches also might be beneficial. If you are dealing with RLS during the day at work you might find significant relief from a

that their kid has grown up. “Whether you’re a kid or a paarent, you always come to a fork in the road where you make the decision of what to do about your toys. Therein lies the appeal of the movie,” said Chuck Viane, head of distribution for Disney. That, and the fact that Woody, Buzz and the gang have become like family to “Toy Story” fans, he said. “Somehow these characters have worked their way in. When you go there, you can see the audience is vested in the movie from the start. It doesn’t take any time to warm up. The minute it hits the screen, they’re in,” Viane said. “Toy Story 3” took over the No. 1 spot from Sony’s “The Karate Kid,” which pulled in $29 million to raise its 10-day total to $106.3 million.

morning and evening run. Run hard then spend time stretching your legs as deeply as possible. Deep tissue massage might give you some relief. Exercise before bedtime has been successful with some people. It does mention for best results to perform leg exercises as close to bedtime as possible since leg exercises and walks bring only shortterm relief. Exercise helps by releasing endorphins, the body’s natural painkiller. Remember to take your vitamins. As mentioned above, several studies have shown that iron deficiency can trigger symptoms of RLS. Have a glass a wine. There are people who have RLS who get relief by drinking a glass of wine each night. Please note there is no scientific evidence that wine helps relief RLS. Make sure you stay in contact with your doctor about your RLS (or have your doctor diagnose you first) because there is medication that is used to treat RLS. So run hard, do yoga and have a glass of wine … good luck.

Ellen Messinger visited South Africa in May. She travels frequently, so that’s not unusual. What is unusual is that she delivered thousands of children’s books to schools there. She is quick to deflect any praise, saying that her visit was just the tip of a very large iceberg. Ellen went to South Africa with her dear friend Beth Patterson Masters. Beth, who lives in New Jersey, is the daughter of Frank and Norma Patterson of China Grove. Beth’s son, Jake, 20, is spending eight weeks in South Africa on an Ingram grant. He is an Ingram Scholar at Vanderbilt University, a full tuition scholarship. “The scholarship is based on community service, as well as academics, with service being the main component,” Beth says. “He won the scholarship for his work at Dikatole.” Jake and his family lived in London for three years, and his father Kent traveled to South Africa often on business. During these visits, Jake went to South African orphanages. His first visit was in 2005. Although he was just 15 at the time, he wanted to do something to help the children. Why not donate his collection of Beanie Babies he’d outgrown? Jake’s story grew, and he eventually donated more than 3,500 Beanie Babies to delighted South African children. But he wanted to do more. He’s given CD players, soccer balls and art supplies. He renovated a pool at the Bethesda AIDS orphanage, run by the Salvation Army, in time for Christmas 2006. Jake asked for donations for the project in lieu of gifts that year. But he wanted to do more. He eventually found his way to Dikatole, a squatter’s camp, built on the site of an old mine. “Dikatole” means “lost child.” “It’s awful,” Ellen says. “It’s horrible.” She has worked in the slums of Jamaica. “This was not the first time I had seen this level of poverty.” Jake knew that education was the only way out, so he started raising money for children to go to school. “It is a nominal fee,” Ellen says. “It is to us, but it is unsurmountable to them.” Jake has learned that, “in Africa, anyone who wishes to can make a difference.” Even a young adult. Jake’s efforts have grown into the Dikatole Scholarship Fund. In 2006, eight children, kindergartners, were identified as high achievers and given scholarships. That number has now grown to 13. A gift of $3,000 provides education for each child through 12th grade, which includes uniforms and school supplies. Ellen decided to sponsor one of the children. She also told Jake she’d pay to ship children’s books to schools there. A book drive yielded some 15,000 books, which will go to Laekerskool Germiston Primary School and Ekurhuleni School. More are going to an after-school program in Durban. Although the books had not yet arrived when Ellen got to South Africa in May, she got to see the libraries that would receive them. “We got more books than we ever thought we’d get,” Ellen says. “That’s a lot to ship. But that’s OK.” “Ellen and Tim Messinger have played a vital role in the success of this book drive,” Jake writes in an e-mail. “Without their generous assistance, we couldn’t have collected so many books, but more importantly, we would have had no means of transferring the books across the ocean to South Africa. “I am in Johannesburg now and the project is going very well. I have been working with around 90 kids for the past three weeks, and I plan to continue to work in South Africa until July 3. Many of the kids ask me when ‘Aunty Ellen’ is coming back with my mom to visit them. “I tell them I’m hoping she comes soon but I’m not sure, as it is quite a long trek to get to Johannesburg. One thing is for sure though, Ellen and Tim have had an enormous impact on these children’s lives in a way these kids will not soon forget.” It was Beth’s idea to go to South Africa to distribute the books. “Plus, I wanted to meet the little girl I sponsor,” Ellen says. “I hope with all my heart I get the opportunity to put her through college,” she says of Wayleen, a second-grader. “Dikatole is not an easy place to visit,” Beth writes in an e-mail. “Ellen was greeted by the sights, sounds and smells that desperate poverty brings: drunken men urinating in the streets at 10 a.m.; dirty, crying children and stray dogs both roaming the

At first glance it seems that drug abuse, poverty and HIV/AIDS are the only things alive and well here. “Ellen, of course, was not fazed by any of this; she just wanted to get to the school, roll up here sleeves, and get on with it. “The children bonded with Ellen almost immediately, and she to them. We took 75 kids bowling one day. Ellen also toured the private school where Jake’s ‘scholars’ attend, and equally important she visited the horrible government school in the squatter camp where the children not on scholarship are forced to attend.” “I was just amazed by the resilience of these kids, to live in the conditions they live in,” Ellen says. “It’s emotionally draining, but rewarding at the same time.” To decompress, Ellen and Beth spent three days on safari at a private game reserve. They saw hyenas, giraffes, wildebeest, crocodiles, hippopotamuses, rhinoceroses and elephants. But she still carries the children of Dikatole in her heart. “I’m sure I’ll go back,” Ellen says. Jake, too, continues his work. “I think he’ll be involved long-term,” Ellen says. “I can’t imagine him letting this go.”

ith the recent, unusually hot spells of temperature, unusual for spring, but par for summer, I thought back to a method for staying cool in our neighborhood on the Old Concord Road. This was in the late 1950s. Since we never went to the beach on vacation — only the mountains — my sole conMACK tact with waWILLIAMS ter as a child (other than bathing , of course) was at Spence Hatley’s house with his children a couple of doors down in their back yard. They would inflate a small plastic pool and fill it with water, then we would jump in (actually step in, due to its shallowness) and splash about. In this type of pool, my feet could feel the earth through the plastic (and the part of me naturally engineered for sitting could feel the earth through the plastic as well), taking all of my fear of water away. A clear plastic hose with which the pool had been filled was lying nearby, and on such a hot summer day we would all turn on the spigot and take a frequent sip of water from the hose. These days, a great number of people drink water from plastic of a different form — bottles. Scientist say that drinking from such bottles may pose a health hazard. Our drinking from that hose was probably not safe either, but a hose is not as likely to be used as a regular drinking vessel, since the extent of its portability only equals the extent of its length. The Hatley’s well pump evidently infused some air into the water, filling the transparent hose with bubbles as well. Unlike the random, scattered explosions of a carbonated drink in a glass, we could see our bubbles lined up, single file, before us. Easily visible, they continually advanced down the length of the hose when each of us took a drink. In the late 1950s, just off of the Old Concord Road, this “soda” refreshed us and our play.

Firefighters work for more than 5 hours to extinguish blaze on Sherrills Ford Road Firefighters were called to the same home twice this weekend to put out a damaging attic fire. A call came in to 911 at 8:14 p.m. Saturday that a fire had started in the attic of a home at 6220 Sherrills Ford Road. According to Rowan County 911 communications, smoke was visible when firefighters arrived.
Four fire departments responded and left after a little more than an hour. At 2:49 a.m. Sunday, several calls were about a fire coming out of the roof at the same house. Five fire departments responded to the second call, in addition to the fire marshal and Rowan County Rescue Squad. Firefighters took more than five hours to extinguish
the blaze. The home was occupied by Richard and Sara Rodgers. The Elizabeth Hanford Dole American Red Cross responded to the scene, but no assistance was needed. Deborah Lineberger, director of Emergency Services for the Red Cross, said the family has insurance on the home.

Nutrition and hydration will be stressed for training and competition. All participants
must be able to swim 50 yards comfortably without assistance. Costs of the camp are as follows. Y members who stay for the morning session of camp will pay $50 per week, or those who stay all day will pay $95.

Civil War soldier comes home after 147 years BY JOHNA STICKLAND
The Robesonian of Lumberton
LUMBERTON (AP) — He left Robeson County in March 1863 to fight for the South in the Civil War, never to be seen again by his wife and their seven children. Eventually a descendant, Jim Walters, found him and brought him home to be buried near his fallen comrades. It took Walters nearly six years to come to the moment on May 8 when local re-enactors gathered to place a stone with the name Calvin C. Britt in the Norment Cemetery on Fifth Street in Lumberton. “It’s a marker indicating his place in history,” Walters said. “... It allows his descendants a little bit of peace and closure.” At the wake on May 7, Walters found family he didn’t know existed. “People I’ve seen all my life and I had no idea I was related to these people,” he said. “... You sit back and scratch your head and think how did we get to this point that we lost some-
BALLOT FROM 3A
Food Lion founder Ralph Ketner, is originally from Salisbury. And the petition to add the Charleston businesswoman and philanthropist as an independent candidate is circulating rapidly through Facebook and other social media. Ketner, meanwhile, is keeping mum. Doug Warner, the finance director for her unsuccessful 2008 bid for Henry Brown’s 1st District congressional seat, said he spoke with her Tuesday before he and about eight other organizers launched the petition. He asked her to give the petition a chance to show bipartisan, grass-roots support, then make a decision on whether to run, Warner said. ‘I know that she is thinking about it,’ he said. Ketner considered in January running again for the 1st
body and he just fell through the cracks with nothing left to signify that he lived except some pxapers in the file.” Walters’ trip back in time began six years ago when he learned from Sammy West, a childhood friend, that one of his ancestors fought in the Civil War. Walters asked West if he was kidding. “From there I started digging, uncovered the whole thing and sort of put it together,” he said. “The more I dug, the more intrigued I became.” He began following Britt’s paper trail. In about a year, he knew the basics of his greatgreat-grandfather’s life from records of military service, birth, marriage, death, census and family writings. For the next five years, he and his family hunted the details. “Other people were going to the beach and the Bahamas and so on and I was out stomping around Civil War battlefields, the archives in Raleigh and the records in Richmond,” Walters said. “... You’re talking about years of working, many miles on the road, many
hours on the computer plowing through records.” Eventually, Britt’s life jumped from many pieces of scattered paper to just three the biography Walters wrote. Britt was 18 years old when he was counted in the 1850 census as the son of Jessie and Mary Britt living in Robeson County. “Lumberton is my home and the community I live in is the same community Calvin lived in,” Walter said. On Sept. 24, 1851, he married Amelia Ann Pitman in Robeson County; they had seven children, the last one born in 1863, about the time he joined the Confederate army. “One of the most fascinating things to me, why in the world did he wait two years to join the Confederacy?” Walters said. And why did he go to Charleston, Walters wondered. For whatever reason, Britt and two other Britts traveled to Charleston, S.C., to enlist. Britt was given the rank of private and assigned to Company E of the 51st North Carolina Infantry.
District seat, which Brown is vacating, but told supporters 2010 was not the time for her to mount a campaign. She ran in 2008 as a Democrat and lost to Brown, 52 percent to 48 percent. It would take 10,000 signatures to get her on the ballot. The Senate seat organizers have launched a website and are trying to recruit 200 volunteers to get 100 signatures each. After the first 24 hours they had 50 volunteers, said Tasha Gandy of Charleston, who is coordinating the petition. The effort is being driven essentially without funding, Warner said. ‘I think that’s the beauty of it,’ he said. ‘There’s been no time to raise money. This is about people saying, ‘I’ve had enough.’ ‘ Warner said the petition effort had until July 15 to get Ketner on the ballot. He was coy when asked whose idea it was and how the group came together.
Robert W. Oldendick, a University of South Carolina political science professor, and Alex Sanders, the former legislator, judge and college president, said they had not heard of anything like it before. Sanders lightheartedly dismissed a rumor that the drive was put together by members of the state party. Democrats are not at all necessarily good at conspiracy. They get too many people involved. Democrat mistakes are dumb, they’re not conspiracies,’ Sanders said. Both he and Oldendick said the late petition effort against a well-recognized, supported and financed opponent like U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., had an uphill battle. Oldendick said its chances were minuscule. ‘I suppose the key is going to be what these computer experts come up with (about alleged ballot box irregularities),’ Sanders said. ‘And if they don’t, we have a nominee.’

Dr. Jeffrey Schaider performs a ultrasound on 50-year-old Teri Moore while Moore is being treated for belly pain, persistent coughing and vomiting at Cook County Stroger Hospital in Chicago. Fast decisions on life-and-death cases are the bread and butter of hospital emergency rooms. Nowhere do doctors face greater pressures to overtest and overtreat. The fear of missing something weighs heavily on every doctor's mind.
ER doctors: Lawsuit fears can lead to overtesting, overtreating CHICAGO (AP) — Fast decisions on life-and-death cases are the bread and butter of hospital emergency rooms. Nowhere do doctors face greater pressures to overtest and overtreat. The fear of missing something weighs heavily on every doctor’s mind. But the stakes are highest in the ER, and that fear often leads to extra blood tests and imaging scans for what may be harmless chest pains, run-of-the-mill head bumps, and non-threatening stomachaches. Many ER doctors say the No. 1 reason is fear of malpractice lawsuits. “It has everything to do with it,” said Dr. Angela Gardner, president of the American College of Emergency Physicians. The fast ER pace plays a role, too: It’s much quicker to order a test than to ask a patient lots of questions to make sure that test is really needed. “It takes time to explain pros and cons. Doctors like to check a box that orders a CT scan and go on to the next patient,” said Dr. Jeffrey Kline, an emergency physician at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, N.C. Patients’ demands drive overtesting, too. Many think every ache and pain deserves a high-tech test. “Our society puts more weight on technology than on physical exams,” Gardner said. “In other words, why would you believe a doctor who only examines you when you can get an X-ray that can tell something for sure?” Refusing those demands creates unhappy patients. And concern that unhappy patients will sue remains the elephant in the emergency room. ER physicians are among the top 10 specialists most likely to be sued for malpractice,
according to leading doctor and insurers groups. The Physicians Insurers Association of America, which represents almost two-thirds of private practice doctors, lists more than 600 lawsuits against ER doctors nationwide between 2006-08. That’s about 3 percent of their clients. Statistics vary by region, and chances of being sued generally are greater for several other specialties, including obstetricians, surgeons and internists. Still, the risk for a malpractice suit remains high in the ER because of the unique setting. In a busy emergency room, “when all hell is breaking loose, not a lot of doctors feel they can take the time to sit down with the patient” and build rapport, said Texas family physician Dr. Howard Brody, an outspoken critic of excessive medical care. The result can be extra costs, and potential harm — including side effects from unneeded drugs and increased chances for future cancer from excessive radiation. No one tells patients after a CT scan that the test “just imparted three years of radiation to your body as well as significant stress on your kidney, and Medicare just got charged lots of money,” Kline said. Gardner, who works in a Dallas emergency room, said she tries to talk patients out of tests she thinks they don’t need, but usually without success. There are more than 116 million ER visits each year nationwide, national data suggest, and research suggests the number of visits is rising. The most common reasons adults go to emergency departments are abdominal or chest pain. Both can mean something harmless, or deadly.
To determine which it is, ER doctors turn to X-rays, CT scans and other imaging tests. In 2006, these were done for almost half of all emergency visits; blood tests were ordered for more than a third of ER visits; medicine, including antibiotics, was given to 75 percent of patients. One of doctors’ biggest concerns with belly pain is appendicitis, and CT scans can confirm it. But the scans often are done in patients without classic symptoms. Patients with suspicious abdominal pain used to go straight into the operating room, where surgeons opened them up to find appendicitis — or rule it out. Dr. Angela Mills of the University of Pennsylvania said CT scans have reduced unnecessary surgeries, “but I think the pendulum has gone to the other side.” The trade-off is fewer surgeries and hospitalizations versus a test that costs several hundred dollars but which involves lots of radiation. Mills is studying a blood test that would detect a marker for appendix inflammation, which might avoid the need for CT scans, and would be safer and cheaper, too. On a recent day at Cook County’s Stroger Hospital in Chicago, 50-year-old Teri Moore sought treatment for abdominal pain. A smoker with a hacking cough, the thin, auburn-haired woman had persistent vomiting and hadn’t eaten in three days. Moore’s symptoms suggested a stomach ulcer or inflammation, not appendicitis. Several blood tests were ordered, to check for anemia and liver function, among other things, said Dr. Jeffrey Schaider. He performed a bedside abdominal ultrasound, looking for gallstones.
Investors turn focus to corporate profits NEW YORK (AP) — Will corporate profits save the stock rally — or kill it? Most companies won’t announce second-quarter earnings for a few weeks yet. But already Wall Street is buzzing about what might lie ahead. One worry: With investors on edge from bad economic news, the market is riding more than ever on these upcoming reports. “It’s too early to tell if growth is tapering off,” but people are concerned, said Mark Luschini, chief market strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott. “If companies disappoint, stocks could retrace their recent lows.” Stock analysts expect companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index to post $184 billion in profits in the second quarter, up 27 percent from the year-ago period, then continue to rocket higher. Under their bullish scenario, profits will peak next year. The Dow Jones industrial average closed at 10,450 Friday, capping two weeks of gains. But the Dow is still 7 percent off its high of April 26, and investors are jittery. On Wednesday, shares in FedEx Corp. fell sharply although the company reported profit last quarter that met analysts’ expectations. The problem was, the shipping company lowered its target
for earnings in the coming year. That followed a disappointing profit report from Best Buy Co. that sent the electronics retailer’s stock down 6 percent. The coming week offers clues as to whether the two reports are part of a trend. Among companies announcing earnings: drugstore chain Walgreen Co., software maker Adobe Systems Inc., Nike Inc., homebuilder Lennar Corp. and ConAgra Foods Inc. If recent history is any guide, analysts may be right to be bullish. Last quarter, corporate earnings rose 31 percent, the biggest increase since 1984. What’s more, those profits came from selling more goods, not just from cutting expenses. With people spending again, the recovery looked like it was gaining steam. The Commerce Department reported Wednesday that construction of homes and apartments slumped 10 percent in May from the month earlier. Adding to the gloom, mortgage applications for new homes have fallen 40 percent in the past five weeks, a 13-week low. To be sure, there’s been hopeful news, too. The Fed reported earlier this month that all 12 regions of the nation it tracks are growing, a first since 2007. But then came re-
ports that retail sales plunged in May. Worse, the government reported that private employers added a mere 41,000 workers to their payrolls last month. Anyone looking for hints in the coming week that things are perking up may be disappointed. The Federal Reserve meets to decide whether to keep benchmark interest rates near zero. But with the economy struggling, no one is expecting any big moves or statements. Reports on home sales, both previously owned and new, come out Tuesday and Wednesday. But aside from that and the Labor Department’s June jobs report, there’s a relative vacuum of data until profit reports next month. And that’s almost a relief. “We have Greece, we have BP — but you can’t anticipate these things,” said money manager George V. Reis of Two Rivers, Wisconsin, referring to Greece’s part in the European debt crisis and the Gulf oil spill. “You can estimate earnings.” “Everyone is hoping the next news will be earnings, and not some big, macro situation,” said Mike Shea, managing partner at Direct Access Partners LLC. Earnings are something we’re “comfortable with.”

SPILL FROM 1A
to keep its cut of TNK-BP’s multibillion-dollar profits. Managing Siberian energy fields and containing the 65 million- to 125 million-gallon Gulf slick aren’t quite comparable, though the situations do have parallels, said Amy Myers Jaffe, an energy studies fellow at Rice University’s public policy institute. Both involve a “complex situation involving multiple parties that might sue each other and multiple levels of government.” “I do think he did a good job in Russia, under the circumstances,” she said. Dudley also has shown a steady hand in his limited public appearances since the April 20 oil rig explosion that killed 11 workers and triggered the Gulf spill. He was the one tapped to make the rounds of the Sunday morning shows at the end of May when BP’s latest bid to stanch the flow fell short.
TORNADO FROM 1A
reported injury was from someone who got hit in the head by a hail stone. City officials were struggling to deal with power outages and flooding from the storm, which sent about 2 feet of water into many city streets. John Schilling said he saw the tornado approach as he was driving north on Main Street with his son. He had taken shelter under a carport at a motel because of the heavy hail and strong winds.
Hofmeister said Dudley has been involved in the Gulf oil spill recovery effort from the start, and he expects no changes in BP’s approach once he takes over. “I think this is just a natural step for him to be exclusively focused on this aftermath,” he said. President Barack Obama has said he would fire Hayward if he could, and many Gulf Coast residents have had their fill of him as well. Craig Bielkiewicz, a fisherman who’s unemployed as a result of the spill, said as long as BP foots the bill for the cleanup, it’s better that Hayward just stay away. “As long as he foots the bill and does what he says he’s going to do, then we don’t need him,” he said. “All we need is for him to back off and let us do what we need to do.” Tim Arnold, of U.K. media consultancy Arnold Strategy Ltd., said that the idea of throwing an American up for the sole purpose of placating a U.S. audience was “a very silly approach.”
After a few minutes, Schilling saw the twister envelop the Main Street Casino and a laundromat, then start to head south in his direction, hitting other businesses as it went. “Then the roof came flying off that print shop, so we kept going,” the 42-year-old said. “I wasn’t going to stick around.” The tornado also picked up the roof from the Fas-Break Auto Glass and dumped it into a nearby creek. At least 10 businesses along the street suffered some sort of damage. Fas-Break owner Kevin Massick and several members
of his family picked through the rubble of the shop, trying to salvage what they could. But there was little left. “I’m in a total daze,” Massick said, his face creased with emotion and tears welling up in his eyes. “It’s a total loss, I don’t know what I’m going to do. Start over, I guess.” Main Street was shut down in one direction several hours after the tornado struck as bulldozers cleared debris. The other direction was jammed with cars that slowly moved northbound as drivers and passengers gawked at the destruction.
New Agers, others at Stonehenge for solstice LONDON (AP) — New Agers and neo-pagans descended on Stonehenge to celebrate the summer solstice, each hoping to catch a glimpse of the sun as it rises above the ancient stone circle early Monday morning. The annual all-night party typically draws thousands of alternative-minded revelers to the prehistoric monument on Salisbury Plain as they wait for dawn at the Heel Stone, a pockmarked pillar just outside the circle proper which aligns with the rising sun. “It means a lot to us ... being British and following our pagan roots,” said Victoria Campbell, who sported a pair of white angel’s wings and had a mass of multicolored flowers in her hair. The 29-year-old Londoner, who works in the finance industry, also said that “getting away from the city” was a major draw. “We’re hoping for a clear night,” she said. Monday’s sunrise, marking the longest day of the year north of the equator, is scheduled to occur over the circle at 4:52 a.m. local time (0352GMT.)
The annual celebrations at Stonehenge, about 80 miles (130 kilometers) southwest of the capital, are a modern twist on solstice celebrations which were once a highlight of the pre-Christian calendar. They survive today largely in the form of bonfires, maypole dances and courtship rituals. Gina Pratt, a 43-year-old housewife and a self-described witch, said being inside the circle as the sun came up gave her “a kind of a grounding feeling (of) being in touch with the earth again, and the air we breathe.” Pratt, who wore a cape of crushed red velvet and wielded an amethyst-tipped wand, said the event gave rise to conflicting emotions. “It makes you feel small and insignificant ... but it makes you feel like you’re here for a reason,” she said. Stonehenge’s origins remain a mystery, but theories suggest the grounds were part of a huge astronomical calendar. Others say an ancient sun worshipping culture aligned the structure with the midsummer sunrise and the midwinter sunset. The site
was used as a cremation cemetery since its inception, archaeologists say, but it is unclear if that was its principal function. “The truthful answer is we don’t know exactly what it was for,” said Amanda Chadburn, an archaeologist with English Heritage, which manages the site. Whatever its origins, the construction of Stonehenge — built with massive stones drawn from up to 150 miles (240 kilometers) away — gives insight into an ancient culture, Chadburn said in an interview ahead of the solstice. The World Heritage site was built in three phases between 3000 B.C. and 1600 B.C. It is one of Britain’s most popular tourist attractions with more than 850,000 visitors a year. The solstice is one of the few times access is granted inside the stone circle, which has been roped off since 1978, following years of erosion and vandalism. Police were on hand to ensure the event remained peaceful. Online: Stonehenge: http://www. stonehenge.co.uk/

“We failed to wrestle this beast to the ground,” he said matter-of-factly. A week later, he struck a conciliatory note as he toured the Louisiana coast with Gov. Bobby Jindal, saying he was frustrated and saddened by what he saw. He was there to promise that BP would fund state efforts to build sand berms to protect barrier islands from the oil. “We understand the importance of this,” he said. “We are deeply sorry.” BP did not respond to a request from the Associated Press for an interview with Dudley. Industry insiders such as former Shell Oil president John Hofmeister have argued that BP from the start should have made an American the public face of its spill recovery efforts. “I’ve been saying for weeks that Tony Hayward ought to pass this over to his top American executive,” Hofmeister said Sunday. “He has completely competent people in the U.S. that can represent him in every instance.”

Plan early on how to finance college BY KARA MCGUIRE
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Like most parents, we want to help send our three young kids to college someday. But that big, fat number staring at me from my computer screen? Probably not going to happen. Nor can we count on incomebased financial aid. So what are families like us to do? First, estimate the cost. I tried college savings calculators available at dinkytown. net, savingforcollege.com and collegeboard.com, and while the answers weren’t identical, they all were close. We need to save roughly $1,500 per month to amass the princely sum it will take to pay most, but not all, of the price tag to send our progeny to college. With college-tuition increases consis-
tently outpacing inflation, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of finaid.org, suggests the following formula: Parents with babies born in 2009 should save $220 per month if they want to pay for one-third of a public, four-year college and $417 per month for a private school. “Like any life-cycle expense, college costs should be spread out over time,” he explained via e-mail. “I chose one-third savings because I figured one-third should come from past income (savings), one-third from current income and financial aid, and one-third from future income (loans). It also meshes well with collegetuition inflation, which increased by a factor of about three over any 17-year period.”

fairs. You can get back at your creditors by staying ahead of them. Manage your credit report by reading it regularly. (It’s free, but only if you get it from AnnualCreditReport .com.) If you don’t understand what it says, ask. If a creditor is punishing you for something on your credit report that is not true, don’t sit back passively. Get it fixed. Then confront your creditor. Don’t back off until the creditor reverses the action. • Pay off. Nothing benefits you more than bringing your balances to $0. It’s like getting a tax-free raise, because you get to keep all of that money you’ve been sending each month to your creditors. • Zero tolerance. Your creditors are not going to be thrilled with you and your zero balances. You are the source of their income. They will miss your money terribly. Get back at them by refusing ever to pay another penny in interest. If they’re charging annual fees, tell them bye-bye. Getting back at your creditors will bring you great satisfaction. An even greater payoff is the peace of mind you will enjoy. You’ll sleep well and get along better with the people who mean the most to you. It’s a proven fact that even your health will improve. Of all financial pressures, credit card debt causes the most deadly type of stress.

Late fees, punitive interest rates, over-limit fees, loading up your credit report with negative information — it’s enough to make you scream! It’s not that your creditors are doing anything illegal. You just didn’t understand the power you MARY gave them HUNT when you accepted those cards. It was buried in the fine print. Now it seems as if they’re staying up nights looking for new ways to stick it to you. If you’ve had enough, maybe it’s time for you to turn the tables and get back at them. • Pay early. Nearly 30 percent of a credit card company’s profits are derived from fees, e.g., annual fees, late fees and over-limit fees. You’d think they would be pretty satisfied with all that interest you send them each month. But no. They want more. Get back at your credit card companies by making a decision right now never to pay another late fee. Be quick with each payment. Send it in the preprinted envelope that came with your statement. Don’t enclose a note, use a paper clip, decorate with stickers or do anything that would pull it out of the fast track and into manual processing. • Open eyes. All of your creditors know what’s in your credit report. They read it regularly. You should, too. Part of your agreement with them is that they can check up on you whenever they want to see how you are handling your financial af-

Dear Amy: I have been teaching high school for 16 years. I have always liked teens and feel they usually get a bad rap. I have always loved teaching. With today’s instant communication, however, things have ASK changed. AMY If I have to discipline a student for something, I have a nasty e-mail from a parent within 15 minutes after the student has texted his or her parents. It is easy to tell the teacher off and never hear his or her side of the issue. It’s easy to belittle the teacher and accuse the teacher because the parents never have to come face to face with the teacher. Not every parent acts this way; the ones who still teach their children to have respect don’t act this way, but those are the kids who usually have no discipline issues. I have parents bully me about grades, my assignments and classroom rules — all through e-mail. I even had one parent tell me that I was teaching the assignment wrong.

General Motors hopes new Cruze controls small car market Cruze production starts, GM engineers were candid with a reporter about past compacts, saying they were mediocre because GM put controlling costs before all else. As a result, GM missed the smallcar boom last decade. Compacts and subcompacts grew from 21 percent of the U.S. market five years ago to 33 percent now. J.D. Power & Associates predicts that will rise to 35 percent by 2013. And small cars are even bigger overseas. Yet GM drew only 8 percent of its U.S. sales from small cars last year, compared with more than 20 percent for Toyota and Honda. When the Cobalt was in development in the early 2000s, GM set out just to make it competitive, not a market leader, said Wayne McConnell, a GM engineer in charge of vehicle performance. Ambitious sales targets and plans to attract new buyers were changed after cost estimates were tallied. Customers noticed, bypassing Chevrolet for Corollas and Civics. Yet engineers say the new GM leadership has figured out that there’s only a small cost difference between mediocre and great. Now they can spend a little more to make a car better, as long as they work with parts companies to control costs. The new management, they said, has learned from recent new models that people will pay a little more for quality. In the past, the early-generation Cruze might have made it to showrooms, but it was held up last fall by managers unhappy with its performance. Production was delayed from April to August. Mark Reuss, GM’s North American president and former head of engineering, said the six-speed automatic transmission constantly shifted. The tires were noisy, and there was a troubling lag between when the driver stepped on the gas and when the 1.4-liter engine’s turbocharger kicked in. The transmission was redone, the turbo fixed and noises quelled.
Reuss now calls the engine and transmission “brilliant,” balancing trade-offs between fuel economy and performance. An Cruze Eco version is expected to get 40 mpg on the highway. Convincing drivers may be difficult, though. When Cassidi Brickner, 31, of Winter Park, Colo., started shopping to replace her aging Honda Civic in the spring, she never considered the Cobalt. “The exterior appearance seemed like a basic car that didn’t catch my attention,” she said. Brickner checked out Chevrolet’s small crossover, the Equinox, but decided the interior looked too cheap. She picked a Mazda3 compact because of interior ASSOCIATED PRESS looks and performance.

A new wildfire burns at Shultz Pass between the San Francisco Peaks and Mount Elden, in Flagstaff, Ariz. Kimberly Ott said. Nicholson, whose hometown was not immediately available, was being held on a $2,500 bond at the Coconino County jail. It was unknown if he had an attorney. Authorities said the Hardy fire started in a wooded area a couple of miles from downtown after Nicholson built a small campfire for either cooking or making coffee. Investigators believe he dumped coals from the fire on the ground before leaving the site. “As far as we understand, this was not a deliberate act. It was a careless act,” Ott said. The fire quickly spread up a hill and threatened homes in two neighborhoods. Crews worked overnight and Sunday to protect structures and establish a perimeter around the blaze. But Coconino County spokeswoman Joanne Keene said fire officials have not declared any part of the fire contained. “The winds are expected to pick up, and the latest I’ve heard is about 30 mph so we’re concerned about that,”
she said. Evacuation orders for 170 homes remained in place, and a park and popular bike trail were closed as a precaution, Keene said. The Little America Hotel also was briefly evacuated. The Hardy fire also sent smoke through parts of Flagstaff and caused traffic to back up on Interstate 40. Authorities said no homes or buildings had been burned. Heavy tankers and three aircraft were on standby in case ground crews needed help. Fires also had crews busy Sunday near Williams, Ariz., and in Colorado and New Mexico. High winds and rugged terrain kept ground crews and aircraft from getting close to a wildfire in southern Colorado’s Great Sand Dunes National Park. The fire grew to 4,500 acres. In New Mexico, crews were making progress on the South Fork fire, which had charred more than 11,150 acres in steep, inaccessible terrain in the Jemez Mountains.
2 killed in Calif. restaurant shooting identified LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities on Sunday identified the two people killed when a man walked into a Southern California fast food restaurant with two handguns and opened fire on his stepdaughter’s family. Alex Trujillo, 33, and his son Adrian, 6, were killed when Jimmy Schlager entered a Del Taco in San Bernardino and opened fire Saturday afternoon, the San Bernardino County SheriffCoroner Department said in a statement. Trujillo’s wife, 29, and the couple’s other child, a 5-yearold boy, were also injured in the shooting. They were be-

ing treated at Loma Linda University Medical Center, where a spokesman said he couldn’t immediately confirm their condition. The 56-year-old Schlager shot himself at the restaurant and died at an area hospital. Authorities have said Alex Trujillo’s wife was Schlager’s stepdaughter. Investigators have been looking into their relationship to determine a motive for the shooting. The woman’s mother was married to Schlager and died several years ago. Schlager, who is from Lancaster in northern Los Ange-
les County, had an extensive criminal record dating back to 1972 that included assault with a deadly weapon and a restraining order taken out by a co-worker. Police said between five and seven employees and several other customers were in restaurant, but the gunman singled out the four victims in the shooting, leaving bullet holes and broken glass inside. Officials said the attack on the family was one of the worst recent crime scenes in San Bernardino, a city of about 200,000 people about 60 miles east of Los Angeles.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — A thick plume of smoke blotted out the blue sky north of Flagstaff on Sunday afternoon as a second wildfire moved through the area, forcing the evacuation of additional homes and an animal shelter. Coconino County authorities said residents of the Timberline Estates, Wupatki Trails and Fernwood neighborhoods were being asked to leave their homes. Authorities couldn’t immediately say how many people were affected. The Second Chance Animal Shelter also was being evacuated. About 170 homes already were evacuated Sunday because of the 350-acre Hardy wildfire on the southeastern side of Flagstaff, which started Saturday. The second blaze was spotted Sunday on the north end of Shultz Pass. Coconino National Forest spokeswoman Karen Malis-Clark said the fire was torching treetops and sending up a “pretty impressive towering column of smoke.” Hot shot crews, helicopters and air tankers were fighting the flames. A shelter that had been set up by the American Red Cross at a Flagstaff middle school for residents displaced by the Hardy fire also was being used for evacuees from the Shultz fire. Fire officials did not know what sparked the second blaze. But a California man was arrested Sunday on suspicion of starting the Hardy fire by leaving behind hot coals at a campsite just outside the city. Randall Wayne Nicholson, 54, was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of burning of a wildland, city spokeswoman

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — General Motors thinks it can finally sell a good small car. The company, which has a past littered with compact wrecks like the unsafe Corvair and rusty Vega, will roll out the Chevrolet Cruze in September — betting it can attract younger drivers and succeed in the most competitive segment of the worldwide auto market. GM owners may know that “nothing works like a Chevy truck,” but the little Cruze is a big gamble. “They can’t afford to get it wrong,” said Michael Robinet, an automotive analyst with CSM Worldwide in Michigan. The Cruze follows another GM small-car flop, the Chevy Cobalt, which failed because it looks dated, is noisy, has a chintzy hard-plastic interior and doesn’t perform as well as competitors. Americans bought just 105,000 last year, compared with about three times as many Toyota Corollas. GM must also overcome history. Dating to the Corvair in the 1960s, its executives viewed small cars as money-losers because of low prices, high U.S. labor costs and American drivers’ hunger for cheap gas and larger vehicles. “They really haven’t spent any time or money on these vehicles,” said David Champion, senior director of Consumer Reports’ auto testing department. The Cobalt, introduced in 2004, “came out trying to be competitive in that market but always languished behind.” That has to change if the Cruze is to help save GM. Champion said the car must be as reliable as the Corolla or Honda Civic, the top-selling U.S. compacts. But dependability has been a problem. Consumer Reports gave its coveted Recommended Buy rating to only seven of 30 GM models in its April issue, mainly because of spotty reliability. No GM small cars got the label.

fight the lobbyist called the League of Municipalities, paid for by taxpayers? 6. Would you be willing to spend your money and time to fight this unjust law? If you answered yes to most of these questions, then contact the Good Neighbors of Rowan County. We’ve been fighting the state legislature for more than two years to have this law changed. I want to thank most of our county commissioners, as they have been a great help along with our local state representatives. Democratic state senators have made this a party fight against Republicans. But this is a fight against an unjust law that allows cities to balance their budgets through annexation. Cities are allowed to annex people who do not have a vote or a say in the process. This should be a fight for human rights. Allowing cities to balance their budgets on the
back of citizens who don’t live in the city is an example of how state and federal legislators are out of touch with citizens. The so-called leaders of our country ask citizens to do what they can’t.

Old friends keep faith through 60 years of journalism

knew something was afoot when I saw Codney Killick immaculate in his clean shirt and necktie and a grin as big as sunrise helping him from his chair. He’s not all that ailing, now. He’s on the mend. The cancer treatments are past, and his yard is the beneficiary. Well, anyone who passes, also. I have introduced you to Codney Killick BILL before. He’s my WILLIAMS brother. His name is Marcelle, but he gave himself that other moniker when he was a little boy, oh, eight or 10. He came home from “up street” one day and purged himself of all the gossip he had heard. That was the procedure in our large family in that little town of Faith, circa early ’30s. Tell it all. Let it all hang out. At the dinner table. So, this was his announce-
ment: “Somebody said today that Shuf Lippard has the codney killick. What he heard went in right and came out wrong. Shuf Lippard had the kidney collick. And so it was that the next day when Pop and his cronies were philosophizing in their usual summertime circle, it was a sure bet that he would tell about his son’s dinner-time word jumble. And so Marcelle had a nickname that would follow him to his grave. Anyhow, there was ol’ Codney Killick getting up and grinning like he had just kicked the milking stool from under me when we were boys and Beauty the cow was wondering what all the ruckus was about. Now, it was my turn. There was more than Codney Killick. It seemed that half of Faith was tumbling from their hiding places. Along with friends from Lake Lure, also the locals by the dozens. It was a scene my mind could not accurately compute. Beverly at the Covenant Vil-
lage switchboard had roused me from my Sunday afternoon nap to tell me that a long-time couple of friends had stopped by and wanted to see Betty and me and that they were waiting for us at the “Big House.” I put up a short-lived fight, donned socks and shoes and felt like I was leaving a diamond flush lying on the table, along with a dream that seemed full of promise. Five minutes later, Betty and I walked back into the dream. Except, this was real, and there was Codney and all those other people. All of them grinning like cats do in the middle of mouse fantasies. That’s what happens when your wife conspires with the only daughter living within shouting distance, and the two of them make it possible for you to enjoy 60 Christmas mornings, all tightly wrapped and ribboned, and all very meaningful.

MY TURN: Dean Naujoks
China Grove citizens are ‘washed out’ For many years, China Grove citizens have been given multiple excuses for our water/sewer rates being higher than surrounding cities. The main reason being that China Grove contracted with Salisbury seven years ago to pay for more water than the city has been using. This contract is not the fault of the citizens, and even some board members have publicly stated that it is unfair to be paying for water not used and has been a main contributing factor in water funds falling short in the past several years. Yet now, some of these same board members are proposing to force some citizens to do the same exact thing; pay for water they will not be using! The decision of the China Grove Board to bill minimum usage of 2000 gallons is extremely unfair. Water is a consumable good; therefore if citizens are not consuming it, they should not be expected to pay for it. People falling into the minimum usage category are typically one-person households already having difficulty making ends meet. How in good conscience can the board members add to this burden? Why even hold a public hearing if they are unwilling to hear and consider the opinion of the public before making a final decision about our money and livelihood? I stood before the board in June 2009, listening to an explanation of how the addition of a $10 per account “service” fee should help avoid any rate increases for some time. Not only was that fee implemented July 1, 2009, but a 5.5 percent rate increase as well. A year passed, and I found myself standing before them again June 15, 2010, addressing the same issue. How many more years should China Grove citizens be expected to wait on a resolution to this water issue? — Donna Lea Moss

he May 22 article “Petition filed against Riverkeeper” featured non-factual accusations that were nothing more than Alcoa propaganda trying to divert public attention away from the most important issue ever facing the Yadkin River. Here is the truth: The reality is Alcoa and High Rock Lake Association President Larry Jones are under investigation by John Lynch, a special agent with the N.C. Secretary of State’s Office lobbying compliance division because of land conveyed to Mr. Jones by Alcoa while lobbying on the company’s behalf. However, the more important issue is the growing opposition to Alcoa’s exclusive monopoly to control of our public waters for another 50 years and the toxic legacy the company intends to leave for our children. The reality is Alcoa signed a 50-year agreement with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) indicating the Yadkin Hydroelectric Project could be “recaptured at the end of the license term” and that Alcoa should “not rely on any assured source of power supply after the expiration of its license for the Yadkin Project.” Yet Alcoa continues to misinform the public about the dams they agreed to relinquish 50 years ago. The reality is that Alcoa is a global polluter and Alcoa’s PCBs are in Badin Lake. Renowned water quality expert Dr. John Rogers 2009 report linked PCBs in Badin Lake to Alcoa’s old aluminum smelter, despite Alcoa’s repeated denials. Alcoa has no plans to clean up potentially cancer-causing Dean Naujoks PCBs that have poisoned has served as Yad- the water, fish and people kin riverkeeper in surrounding communisince the fall of ties. According to State re2008. ports, there is “significant contamination” at Alcoa’s numerous hazardous waste sites. PCB contamination and numerous pollution issues have been well documented at more than 20 Alcoa sites throughout the world. (For a map of these sites, see http://www.yadkinriverkeeper.org/alcoapollutionworldwide.) The reality is Alcoa has appealed the state’s fish consumption advisory, and even stalled efforts to post signs alerting the public about eating potentially cancer-causing fish. Additionally, Alcoa recently petitioned FERC (twice) to dismiss the State-issued 401 Water Quality Certification and Clean Water Act requirements needed to obtain the 50-year license. Thankfully, FERC denied Alcoa’s requests, but Alcoa’s claims of being a good environmental steward are absurd. Alcoa feels Clean Water Act requirements that have protected our nation’s waters for almost 40 years should not apply to them. Alcoa has also legally challenged the terms of the state-issued 401 Water Quality Certification (which they requested) in an attempt to thwart efforts by the state to address water pollution issues linked to the project. The dams Alcoa leaders built for their own exclusive purpose to generate billions in profits for their aluminum smelter have caused significant pollution problems in High Rock Lake and along the entire 38-mile section of river. Pollution cleanup of High Rock Lake will likely exceed $500 million to address. The Jordan Lake rules, which passed in the 2009 legislative session to address pollution in Jordan Lake, will cost upstream municipalities an estimated $300 million, upwards to $1 billion. Alcoa had the ability to address these issues in the Relicensing Settlement Agreement but chose instead to pass the cost of cleanup off to everyone else in the river basin. The reality is Alcoa has enjoyed 90 years of pollution-based prosperity and sells locally produced hydropower — generating $44 million annually — outside the state rather than to our citizens. Under the Federal Power Act, FERC must determine what is in the best public interest and that the waters of America’s rivers should not be held by private interests for private gain. Yadkin Riverkeeper’s mission is work to ensure clean drinking water in the Yadkin River for future generations. Yadkin Riverkeeper would not be serving the Yadkin River if we did not lobby for legislation that will potentially invest millions for Yadkin River water quality improvements as well as require Alcoa to clean up their toxic mess. We have registered to lobby, like numerous other 501(c)(3) organizations, for the purpose of transparency and to demonstrate we are complying with the law. North Carolina citizens should join Gov. Perdue, Sens. Richard Burr and Kay Hagan and all our N.C. congressional members to oppose Alcoa’s 50-year relicensing effort because it is clear Alcoa’s monopoly on the Yadkin River no longer provides a public benefit. Supporting a law-breaking corporate polluter like Alcoa, who has poisoned our citizens and exported jobs overseas while in partnership with the Chinese government, is simply un-American!

‘UN’ of faith groups set roles in disaster relief Southern Baptists, Mennonites among active groups RALEIGH (AP) — For every hurricane, earthquake or flood, there is help: food, bottled water, crews of volunteers nailing shingles to brand new roofs. What even grateful recipients of that aid may not realize is that much of it comes from an unlikely hodgepodge of religious groups who put aside their doctrinal differences and coordinate their efforts as soon as the wind starts blowing. Southern Baptists cook meals from Texas to Massachusetts. Seventh-day Adventists dispense aid from makeshift warehouses that can be running within eight hours. Mennonites haul away debris, Buddhists provide financial aid and chaplains with the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team counsel the traumatized and grieving. This “juice and cookies fellowship,” as one organizer calls it, is mostly invisible to the public, but it provides interfaith infrastructure for disaster response around the country that state and federal officials could scarcely live without. “Think of us as the United Nations of disaster relief,” said Diana Rothe-Smith, executive director of National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster, the main umbrella group for coordinating emergency response from private agencies. Although “Vo-ad,” as it’s usually called, includes groups with no religious affiliation, the bulk of its 50 or so members are relief arms of churches and other faithbased organizations. The organization, which formed in 1970, has grown from seven

The national group, which also works through state-level versions of the coalition, provides essential on-theground knowledge that government responders don’t have time to develop on their own, Fugate said. Southern Baptist Disaster Relief, for instance, is famous for its ability to prepare tens of thousands of hot meals at disasters from Hurricane Ike to flooding in New England. The North Carolina Baptist Men, for example, have three food trailers that can serve a combined 75,000 meals a day. “The Red Cross distributes
the meals, but it’s Southern Baptists doing the cooking,” said Lin Honeycutt, a volunteer with the North Carolina group for more than 20 years. The denomination apparently developed its affinity for mass meals after a hurricane hit Texas in the early 1960s, but the vast group — there are more than 10,000 Southern Baptist disaster volunteers in North Carolina alone — can do everything from dispensing supplies to cleaning out inches of mud in flooded basements. Deciding who does what has been a delicate process of building confidence in the capacity of groups as different as Jews and Scientologists, according to Bill Adams, director of Disaster Response Services for the Christian Reformed World Relief Committee and a former NVOAD president. “Just getting all those people at the same table is a miracle, when you think about it,” Adams said. The groups’ specialties have developed gradually in
Couple renovates camp into rental retreat BAT CAVE (AP) — A couple have turned their love of an old summer camp in western North Carolina into a private vacation rental property. The Asheville Citizen Times reported Sunday that Darren and Cheryl Blum spent five years renovating the former Camp Mishemokwa and have turned it into a property that large family groups or businesses can rent out for retreats and seminars. A weeklong stay on the 150-acre property costs between $5,000 and $10,000. There is a lodge that can sleep 24 people and a main house that can accommodate 18. The old camp’s bunkhouses are still around as is the gym. There also is a heated swimming pool and a whirlpool. Other amenities include a water slide, athletic field, hiking trails, tennis court and a mess hall that has been turned into a game room.
Coast Guard to block travel during bridge work FORT MACON (AP) — The Coast Guard will restrict access to the Intracoastal Waterway while workers repair a North Carolina bridge. A safety zone was established Sunday evening until today as workers repair a truss on the State Road 50 Swing Bridge near Surf City.
The temporary safety zone will encompass a 100-yard radius on the water directly under the bridge. Mariners will not be allowed to travel in the channel while maintenance equipment is obstructing the waterway. The Coast Guard said boaters should minimize wake while traveling in the area.
This sand’s not your sand; this sand is my sand MANTOLOKING, N.J. (AP) — Battles over who has the right to stand on the sand have raged for decades in New Jersey and other coastal states, and some have treated the beach as the private sandbox of the privileged few. Now New Jersey is rewriting its beach access rules to give some flexibility to local governments and private property owners who say the state’s rules were too tough. The new policy lets each town decide what is reasonable public access for its beaches, although the state Department of Environmental Protection will have the final say. Some beach-goers fear that progress made in establishing the public’s right to use the beaches could be rolled back by local governments and homeowners who want to further limit who gets to stand on the sand.

the course of responding to specific disasters. Adventists, for example, really began ramping up their warehousing expertise after Hurricane Andrew in 1992, according to Steve Stillwell, assistant to the Director for Adventist Community Services Disaster Response for the Carolina Conference. “There were literally football fields 6-feet-deep of donated clothes and items that nobody could use, that ended up going to the landfill,” he
said. “Andrew was the biggest waste of resources. We directed our skills and training to the better utilization of donated resources, and we’ve been refining it ever since.” Theology may not play a role in how the specialties develop, but it can present a thorny question for religious believers who don’t agree on much beyond the need to help victims of disasters. “There may be separation of church and state in government, but in a disaster we all work together,” Fugate said. Nevertheless, religious volunteers are sensitive to accusations of proselytizing to vulnerable, desperate people. After Haiti was devastated in January by an earthquake, Hollywood star John Travolta was criticized for bringing counselors from the Church of Scientology, to which he belongs, along with supplies to the island nation. In a bid to address concerns, NVOAD’s membership last year ratified a set of 10 principles for spiritual care, including the admonition that “Disaster response will not be used to further a particular political or religious perspective or cause.” “We feel we can be who we are and believe ultimately Christ is the answer, but to do it with respect has been our legacy,” said Jack Munday, director of the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team, which has more than 3,200 trained chaplains and crisis volun-
teers. The delicate compromises and organizational development may be important, but for the people who benefit from the groups’ service, the result is all that matters. Moses Jones, 54, had to evacuate his home in Lake Charles, La., along with his parents, children and sister when Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005. When they returned a month later, the house that had seen three generations of his family was uninhabitable. “The wind blew off the the siding, the shingles,” he said. “I couldn’t live there.” Eight teams of volunteers from the Christian Reformed World Relief Committee arrived shortly after, and today Jones said his house is in better shape than it was before Katrina. The particular denominations of his volunteers means little to him compared to the work they did. “It was like angels came to help me,” he said. “I’m Yahweh-blessed, godly blessed. I really feel that way.” Online: NVOAD: http://www. nvoad.org/ Adventist Community Services: http://www.communityservices.org/ Billy Graham Rapid Response Team: http://www.billygraham.org/rrt(underscore)index.asp Christian Reformed World Relief Committee: http://www.crwrc.org/pages/c rwrc.cfm

A Sea Turtle Story Chapter One Pancake It was a beautiful summer day. Pancake swam peacefully in the big blue ocean. The sea turtle glided gracefully through the water. Pancake was a female loggerhead turtle. (Loggerheads are called that because of their big heads!) She was a beautiful yellow and reddish-brown color. Like most sea turtles, Pancake was a solitary creature. She spent her days alone, happily swimming underwater and looking for food. Pancake mostly hunted for crabs, clams and mussels. She would dive down to the bottom of the ocean to find the tasty shellfish. Although Pancake spent most of her time submerged underwater, she had to come to the surface to breathe. Pancake rose to the surface to take a breath. Unknown to the turtle, a boat was very close to her. It was speeding through the waves. The people in the boat were having fun and talking. The driver was chatting with one of his friends behind him. He didn’t see the turtle come up for air. Suddenly, the boat hit the loggerhead turtle. Pancake was hurt! Her shell had been cut by the boat’s propeller. The people in the boat never even saw the turtle. They sped away, unaware of what they had done. Poor Pancake was all alone with no help in sight! The sea turtle was badly injured. Pancake’s injuries made her weak. It was getting harder and harder to swim. The tide was carrying her closer and closer to shore. Pancake couldn’t swim against the strong tide. She was too exhausted and weak.
observed. “It looks like it’s in trouble!” Another man heard them and came over. He had some binoculars. “It’s a sea turtle, all right,” the man agreed, looking through the binoculars at Pancake. “I think it’s sick or hurt. Either way, it is in trouble.” “We have to get help!” the mom said. She ran back to their beach cottage to call for assistance. “Hang on, turtle!” the little girl cried. Once there, the boy’s mom wasn’t sure whom to call. She knew that there were organizations that helped sea turtles, but she wasn’t sure how they were listed. She couldn’t waste any time—the poor turtle needed help right away. She decided to call the local police department. “I called the police,” she said, returning. “They’re sending rescuers right away.” Soon a crowd gathered on the beach. The kind people were all concerned about the sea turtle. They shouted words of encouragement to
her. They anxiously waited for help to arrive. Pancake was getting swept closer to shore. The surf was stronger the closer in she came. Pancake was almost too exhausted to swim. She was in real danger of drowning or being stranded on the beach. Valiantly, the brave sea turtle struggled, swimming with all her might. It was apparent to the concerned onlookers that the sea turtle was tiring out fast. It looked as though she could barely swim. She was getting tossed around even more by the waves. The rescuers were on their way. But would they make it in time to save Pancake? Next Time… The Rescue Illustrated By Vicki Wallace Copyright 2001 by Mary Maden. All rights reserved.

For days, poor Pancake was trapped in the rough surf. She battled against the tide, but it was sweeping her closer and closer to shore. Desperately, the sea turtle struggled in the waves, but she was getting very tired. Things were looking very bad for Pancake! As the hurt turtle struggled, people were enjoying their day at the beach. Everyone was busy swimming, surfing and sunbathing. No one noticed the poor sea turtle being tossed around in the surf. Pancake was getting more tired by the minute! A mom, dad and their two children were having fun swimming and playing at the beach. The boy and his younger sister were boogey-boarding in the waves. The boy paddled out through the surf, then rode the waves back to shore. His little sister stayed closer to the beach, floating on her boogey-board. The boy paddled out a little farther. He watched the waves to pick just the right one. Suddenly, he spotted something in the surf. The young boy wasn’t sure what it was. He could see something moving in and out of the waves. The boy caught the next wave and rode his board in. He called to his dad. “Dad, come here!” The boy dragged the boogey-board out of the water and stood on the beach. He stared out at the ocean. “What is it, son?” his father asked. “I don’t know,” the boy replied, “I saw something strange in the water. It looks like some kind of marine animal, but it was just bobbing around in the surf. What do you think it is?” Immediately, his mom and sister joined them. They all looked out across the waves. “I think it’s a sea turtle,” the mom

Little drama as McDowell captures title BY DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Graeme McDowell reacts on the 18th green after making a short putt that clinched a first-place finish at the U.S. Open.
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Graeme McDowell doesn’t have the golfing pedigree of a U.S. Open champion at Pebble Beach. All he had Sunday was the game it takes to win. Even as the biggest stars — Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els — were lined up behind him on the leaderboard and poised to contribute to the lineage of champions on this majestic course, McDowell never felt out of place. Despite making only one birdie in the final round, the 30-year-old from Northern Ireland was steady amid the stars of his generation and closed with a 3-over 74 to become the first European in 40 years to capture America’s national championship. He seized control after a shocking collapse by Dustin Johnson, then failed to get flustered by the three stars behind him. All he had to do on the final hole was two-putt for par from 20 feet to join a distinguished list. “To win at Pebble Beach, to join the names — Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Tom Kite, Tiger Woods, me — wow!” McDowell said. “I’m not quite sure if I belong in that list, but hey, I’m there now. It’s a pretty amazing feeling.”

LANDIS — South Rowan’s Maverick Miles celebratSouth 10 ed his birthday with Kannapolis 0 three hits. Miles blew out 18 candles, and he and his teammates blew out Kannapolis 10-0 in seven innings on Sunday. It was a revenge win for South, which had been manhandled 72 hours earlier by Kannapolis pitcher John J. Tuttle. The relatively easy victory kept MILES South (14-2, 9-1) in first place in the Southern Division of Area III. Sizzling Randy Shepherd knocked in three more runs for South, and Tyler Freeze put the finishing touch-
es on the romp with a two-run double. “We were ready for this one and we had something to prove,” Freeze said. “That game at Kannapolis wasn’t really us. This is the way we’re supposed to play. It’s how we should’ve played down there.” South right-hander Weston Smith, a rising junior at FREEZE Northwest Cabarrus, was pitching against some high school teammates, but he showed no mercy. “Weston threw well and all our hitters let him get ahead with his breaking ball,” Kannapolis coach Matt Stack said. “Once you do that, a kid starts believing in his fastball even more.”

Eight straight for Rowan BY JORDAN HONEYCUTT sports@salisburypost.com
The new and improved Rowan County American Rowan 10 Legion machine Surry 2 just keeps rolling. A 10-2 victory against Surry County on Sunday can mostly be attributed to composed pitching from starter Bradley Robbins and reliever Dakota Brown. The big bats showed up, as usual, but pitching is the key ingredient that had at times been missing.
Sunday’s mound performances had to bring a smile to the face of Rowan coach Jim Gantt. Robbins went 42⁄3 innings, allowing only two runs and four hits, ROBBINS while striking out five and walking one. “I just tried to locate my fastball on the corners and get some groundballs, and tonight I did that,” he said.

Almost as surprising was the guy who gave McDowell the most trouble. Gregory Havret, a Frenchman who is No. 391 in the world, played with heart but failed to convert a few late putts. He shot 72 and finished one shot behind. “When you have Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els there, you’re not expecting Gregory Havret to be the guy you’ve got to fend off,” McDowell said. Indeed, it was a final round no one expected. Johnson took a triple bogey on the second hole to lose all of his three-shot lead, and a double bogey on the next hole ended his hopes. Not only was McDowell handed the lead, but Woods, Mickelson and Els were given new life.

Marcus Ambrose’s bad luck benefited Jimmie Johnson.
Johnson capitalizes BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press
SONOMA, Calif. — Marcos Ambrose had his first career Sprint Cup Series victory in sight when a late caution threw a roadblock into his path. Then his own bizarre gaffe cost him the win. Ambrose stalled his engine while trying to conserve gas late in Sunday’s race at Infineon Raceway, where his car came to a stop while leading with six laps remaining. He restarted and tried to reclaim his position at the front of the field, but NASCAR ordered him back to seventh place and Jimmie Johnson inherited the lead. Johnson then cruised to his first career road course win, and Ambrose had to settle for a disappointing sixthplace finish. “My bad,” the Australian said. “I’m disappointed. It’s NASCAR’s house and I’ll always play by the rules. I don’t agree with it, I don’t like it and that’s only because I lost
the race because of it. “I had the motor turned off trying to save a bit of fuel and just had trouble getting it fired again. That’s it.” It was yet another cruel defeat for Ambrose, a roadracing ace who has fallen short of victory several times in NASCAR because of various reasons. He was spun by Robby Gordon while leading the Nationwide Series race at Montreal in 2007 and last year was passed by Carl Edwards in the final turn at the same track. Although he has two career Nationwide wins on the road course at Watkins Glen, he’s winless in the Cup Series despite three top-three finishes in five career road course races. “I feel bad for him,” Johnson said. “It was definitely a gift kind of handed to us.” Johnson won for the fourth time this year but first since Bristol in March — a 10-race drought that had many wondering why he was “slumping.”

Gamecocks fall to Oklahoma OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Sunny Golloway was plumb tuckered out Sunday night, and he wasn’t even one of the Oklahoma 4 guys playing. After two S. Carolina 3 rain delays totaling more than six hours, the Oklahoma coach watched Jeremy Erben and Ryan Duke worked out of bases-loaded situations in the eighth and ninth innings to hold off South Carolina 4-3 in the College World Series on Sunday night. “That was not an easy day,” Golloway said. “I kept looking at my watch during the delay and thinking we left the hotel at 10 o’clock, and we were at the 10-hour mark at one point. It’s a good thing the student-athletes were performing. I don’t know that my body would have allowed it after that long of a delay.” Caleb Bushyhead homered and drove in the go-ahead run, and Garrett Buechele hit a deep drive to left in the eighth to give the Sooners a two-run cushion that allowed Duke to survive a bases-loaded walk to Gamecocks’ slugger Jackie Bradley in the ninth. When Duke got Adrian Morales to fly out to end the game, he had his 12th save of the season and school record-tying 28th of his career. South Carolina coach Ray Tanner said both teams handled the challenge of the stop-and-start game. “It’s just part of baseball. You have rain delays, and that was a tough one,” Tanner said. “But it was the same for both teams. And we came out fighting to the end.” The Clemson-Arizona State game was postponed until Monday morning. Oklahoma (50-16) will play the Clemson-Arizona State winner on Tuesday night, with South Carolina (48-16) meeting the loser of that game Tuesday afternoon.

South Carolina right fielder Whit Merrifield, who starred at Davie, goes back to the wall in pursuit of an Oklahoma homer. The start of Sunday’s game was delayed 4 hours, 15 minutes, and play was halted for an additional 2:01 by rain and lightning in the middle of the sixth inning. “Our team is so mentally tough, and we knew we would continue the game no matter what,” Buechele said. “We went into the locker room, goofed around, told stories and didn’t get too bogged down about how it’s raining our first day here in Omaha.” Bushyhead homered to break a 1-1 tie in the second, and he singled into the right-field corner to make it 3-2 in the fourth before Buechele slugged his team-leading 17th homer to deep left off submarine-style reliever Jose Mata.
South Carolina was within a run in the ninth after Duke walked Bradley on four pitches with the bases loaded. Considering Bradley, batting .371, had homered earlier in the game and is on a 17-game hitting streak, the walk wasn’t such a bad thing. “It wasn’t a deal where we wanted to say we’re going to pitch around him,” Golloway said, “but I wasn’t disappointed to give him a base on balls.” Sooners starter Michael Rocha (8-2) went six innings and gave up solo homers to Christian Walker and Bradley. Erben came on after the second rain delay. South Carolina starter Blake Cooper (12-2), eight days after his pitching hand was hit as he shielded himself from a foul ball, was sharp for five innings but left with his team behind 3-2 when the second rain delay came. Cooper allowed three runs on six hits and a walk, and he struck out five. “My hand didn’t affect me,” Cooper said. “It feels fine. I made some good pitches and they hit some good pitches.” Arizona State-Clemson OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The first-round College World Series game between Arizona State and Clemson has been postponed until Monday at 11 a.m. because of rain. Arizona State-Clemson, originally set for Sunday night, will be followed by regularly scheduled games between Florida and Florida State at 4:30 p.m. and TCU and UCLA at 9 p.m. Rain delayed the start of the South Carolina-Oklahoma game 4 hours, 15 minutes on Sunday, and play was halted in the middle of the sixth inning because of rain and lightning with the Sooners leading 3-2. NCAA officials said they planned to resume that game after storms move out of the area Sunday night.
Gordon apologizes for aggressiveness — sort of The NASCAR notebook ... SONOMA, Calif. (AP) — With nine career victories at Sonoma and Watkins Glen, Jeff Gordon is considered one of the best road course racers in NASCAR. So it was strange to see him seem so out-of-control Sunday at Infineon Raceway, where he bulldozed his way to a fifthplace finish and admitted he was overly aggressive at times. One of those times led to a race-ending wreck for Martin Truex Jr., and Gordon apologized for his role in the accident. “There are some things that I’m not proud of that I did today, certainly with Martin,” he said. “I mean, I completely messed that up and I will try to patch that up. Other things that happened out there were just really hard racing incidents.” Many other drivers had issues with Gordon, including Elliott Sadler, who blamed Gordon for wrecking his run. “We got taken out by Gordon and it’s just frustrating,” Sadler said. “It’s a shame. He took out Martin Truex for no reason. (Bowyer) and me were side-byside and he got two-for-one there, so he was just kind of knocking everything out of his way.” Also annoyed with Gordon was Kurt Busch, who finished 32nd and said contact from Gor-
don cut his right-rear tire. But Gordon was unapologetic for that one. “Kurt Busch had everything coming to him that I gave him because he gave it to me on the restart before that, so I don’t feel sorry about that,” Gordon said. “I certainly do with Martin. With Elliott, I feel bad. I was racing him hard, he was blocking me but he was trying to race somebody else, too. “That was probably my fault as well.”
TICKED-OFF TRUEX: Although Gordon accepted responsibility for ruining Truex’s race, it may take some time for Truex to forgive the four-time series champion. Truex was running inside the top 10 when Gordon spun him, causing him to drop back into traffic, where he was caught in a multi-car accident. “I guess Jeff figured if he couldn’t catch us on the racetrack he was going to spin us out on the restart,” Truex said. “How many times have I spun Jeff Gordon out? How many times have I spun anybody out? I lifted for them guys on those restarts; they get all stupid and crazy and wild, and I lift and wait and they just run into you. It’s stupid.” Truex also indicated he had no interest in hearing Gordon’s explanation.
“I know he’s going to say, ’Well, Juan (Pablo Montoya) was trying to pass me and I was trying to block him.”’ Truex said. “I don’t care. Just because he’s trying to pass you, it’s all right for you to spin me out? No. Let him pass you, then.” Truex vowed on his radio to seek revenge against both Gordon and Montoya, but wouldn’t reiterate the promise when asked about it later. “We’ll see,” he said.
SURPRISINGLY SOLID DAY: Dale Earnhardt Jr. pulls no punches about his dislike of Sonoma, where he’s never cracked the top-10 and was involved in a fiery 2004 crash in a sports car race that left him with burn scars. So he was pleasantly surprised Sunday when he tied his career-best Sonoma finish of 11th. “I just took care of my car the first half of the race and at then end, I just kind of jumped in the fire and hoped for the best and it worked out,” Earnhardt said. “It was a good day for us. I don’t get that pumped up about it — I just get relief to be able to go home and not be ticked off.” The finish moved Earnhardt up to 13th in the standings, just 57 points out of the 12th and final qualifying position for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

JOHNSON
HALL
Aside from ending the slump, Johnson more importantly added a road course victory to his resume and knocked Sonoma off the list of five active Cup tracks where he had never been to Victory Lane. But road course racing has never been his strength in NASCAR. He went into Sunday’s race with an average finish of 17th at Sonoma, which caused him to enter two Grand-Am races this season in an attempt to gain extra practice at making right and left turns. “I’d say the bottom line to it is I love road course racing,” Johnson said. “I always have. I grew up racing off-road trucks, made a name for myself in that style of racing. To come into the Cup Series and not have success early irritated me. That’s why today is so special to us, why it has meant so much.” Although Johnson led 55 of the 110 laps, it was Ambrose’s race to lose at the end. Ambrose, who led 35 laps, had a comfortable lead over Johnson when Brad Keselowski’s spin brought out the late caution. Instructed by crew chief Frank Kerr to conserve fuel in case the race went into NASCAR’s version of “overtime,” Ambrose began flipping his motor on and off at various points around the race track. Unable to get it restarted at one point, his Toyota stalled and Johnson led a handful of cars around him. NASCAR ruled Ambrose failed to “maintain reasonable speed” and dropped him to seventh, where he had blended back into line after re-firing his motor. Kerr visited NASCAR officials after the race and said he understood the ruling. But asked if he was “content” with the ruling, he said only “no comment.” Kerr also asked Sprint Cup Series director John Darby about the 2007 race at Kansas, where winner Greg Biffle appeared to run out of gas under caution on the final lap and was passed by Clint Bowyer and Johnson before the finish line. “I asked John about that, and that’s OK. And then I asked if it’s OK to get pushed around, so I’m not really sure what the difference is,” Kerr said. “Depends on who you are, I guess.” Darby said the Biffle situation was different because Biffle’s car

In his time in the service, Knox competed head-to-head with Jackie Robinson while they were training in Texas. Knox was a prodigious baseball power hitter in his youth and accepted an athletic scholarship from North Carolina A&T after the war. A four-year letterman in baseball, he was the cleanup man and a .300hitter for A&T’s CIAA championship teams in 1947 and 1948. He was AllCIAA twice and was inducted into A&T’s Hall of Fame in 1986. Knox played against Henry Aaron and Willie May and was offered pro contracts, but he opted for a career in education. He was appointed principal of segregated R.A. Clement School in Cleveland in 1956. Knox became the first AfricanAmerican principal of an integrated school in Rowan in 1968 when Clement became West Rowan Junior High. In 1986, he was the first AfricanAmerican elected as a Rowan County Commissioner. Among other honors, he’s received the Distinguished Service Award from A&T and the Rowan County Board of Education Award. Shannon Myers Myers was a fine all-round athlete at North Rowan and graduated in 1991.

Smith fanned eight, walked one and allowed just two singles in six innings. Kyle Bridges grounded a single in the second, and Taylor West led off the fourth with an infield hit. That was it. “I was very excited about this one,” Smith said. “I knew the Northwest players well, and Goody (South pitch-caller Brian Goodnight, who is an assistant at A.L. Brown) knew all the Brown players.” Kannapolis had a chance to score in the first after an error and a walk, but Dylan May lifted a popup to first baseman Patrick Bearden for the third out. After that, Smith struck out five of the next six he faced. “Weston threw well, but he had thrown 50 pitches after the second inning,” South coach Michael Lowman said. “After that, he got more economical and started getting some early contact for some outs.

As for Ambrose, “I don’t know what happened, I don’t know if his car quit, if he shut it off,” Darby said. “What I do know is he was leading, he pulled over, he stopped and he pulled back in and at that point, that’s where he is.” Although the Biffle race was confusing at the time — even thirdplace finisher Johnson that day questioned the call, “He clearly ran out of gas. If you can’t maintain pace car speed, then the guys that can finished ahead of you” — Johnson on Sunday said the situations were clearly different.
zone and he was able to give us six strong innings.” Freeze, South’s Pfeifferbound catcher, was impressed with the young hurler’s second start of the summer. “Weston’s fastball had good velocity, but the main thing was he was throwing his curveball for a strike just about every time,” Freeze said. “Being able to do that is something he’s got on most pitchers.” South leadoff man Blake Houston HOUSTON whipped a double to the opposite field to start the bottom of the first against Kannapolis starter Graham Lawing and scored on Miles’ single to right. It was Miles’ 27th RBI of the summer and the 90th of his three-year career. He has broken the program record of 88 that was set by Daniel Wagner. South all but settled the game with a six-run third. Shepherd, who had struck out in the first with the bases loaded, got
“You’ve got to maintain a reasonable speed. I thought it was pace car speed,” he said. “So when you look at (Ambrose) coming to a stop, I think it really eliminates the gray area or the discussion of, ‘What is a reasonable speed?’ “When you come to a dead stop on the racetrack, I think that changes things, makes it black and white, very easy to read the rule.” Robby Gordon finished second in a Toyota for his highest finish of the season, and series points leader Kevin Harvick was third in a Chevrolet. Defending race winner Kasey Kahne finished fourth in a Ford and Jeff Gordon rounded out the top five. Biffle was seventh and was followed by Boris Said, Tony Stewart and Juan Pablo Montoya.
the key hit, drilling a two-run double down the left-field line. In the fourth, Miles crushed a 400-foot triple, and Freeze smacked a curveball for his two-run double. South has a huge game tonight at Mooresville. Shepherd will pitch for South, with Keith Little on the bump for the Moors. They beat Mocksville 10-0 on Sunday.

Mets recall Parnell Staff report
The New York Mets recalled righthanded relief pitcher Bobby Parnell (East Rowan) from Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday and sent 20-year-old Jenrry Mejia to Double-A Binghamton. Mejia, who had a 3.25 ERA for the Mets, was sent down so he could develop into a starting pitcher. Parnell had a 1-1 record and 4.14 ERA in 24 appearances for Buffalo of
the International League. He struck out 42 batters in 411⁄3 innings, and the opposition batted .231 against him. He hadn’t allowed an earned run in seven of his last nine appearances. Parnell was a September call-up in 2008, and he spent all of last season with the Mets. He went 4-8 with a 5.30 ERA in 68 games, including eight starts. The Mets return to action Tuesday against Detroit. A story on Parnell is upcoming.
Pavano quiets Phillies Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Carl Pavano pitched a four-hitter, and Justin Morneau and Denard Span homered to lead Minnesota past Roy Halladay and Philadelphia 4-1 on Sunday. Pavano (8-6) won his third straight start. The right-hander struck out two and walked none in his ninth career complete game and second this season. The only run Pavano allowed came on Wilson Valdez’s sixth-inning homer. Halladay (8-6) lost his third straight start, giving up a season-high 11 hits while striking out eight and walking none in eight innings. Braves 8, Royals 5 ATLANTA — Eric Hinske’s tworun double broke an eighth-inning tie and Chipper Jones had three RBIs. Melky Cabrera added an RBI single in the eighth off Blake Wood (0-1) for the Braves, who improved to 24-7 at home. Atlanta moved 2 1⁄2 games ahead of the second-place New York Mets in the NL East. “You can’t put enough ground between yourself and the other teams,” Braves closer Billy Wagner said. “We’ve got to continue to battle and get the lead as far as we can get it because there’s going to be a time where we hit a tough spell and there’s going to be a time when they’re hot.” Craig Kimbrel earned the win by pitching a scoreless eighth, but it wasn’t easy. The right-hander loaded the bases on two walks and his own fielding error before striking out two and escaping the jam on Billy Butler’s popup. “I kind of put myself in a tough situation there,” Kimbrel said, “but we got back in there and were able to get three outs.” Wagner struck out two in a scoreless ninth for his 14th save this year and the 399th of his career. Red Sox 2, Dodgers 0 BOSTON — Clay Buchholz and two relievers combined on a four-hit shutout to help Boston beat the Dodgers and send Manny Ramirez back to Los Angeles without a win. Buchholz (10-4) allowed three hits, three walks and two hit batsmen while striking out four to complete the threegame sweep and win for the seventh time in his past eight starts. Marlins 4, Rays 1 MIAMI — Josh Johnson outpitched David Price in a matchup of two of baseball’s top starters, and Wes Helms hit a two-run homer. Johnson (8-2) threw 87 of his 117 pitches for strikes while lowering his ERA a tiny bit to 1.80. Rangers 5, Astros 4 (10 innings) HOUSTON — Josh Hamilton tied a career high with five hits, including a tying single in the ninth inning and a go-ahead single in the 10th that lifted the Rangers to their eighth straight win. Yankees 4, Mets 0 NEW YORK — CC Sabathia was
dominant over eight innings in his rematch against Johan Santana, and Mark Teixeira hit a grand slam. Sabathia (8-3), denied a shot at a shutout of the season by a 22-minute rain delay in the eighth, allowed four hits. The Yankees and Mets went 3-3 against each other this season. Mariners 1, Reds 0 SEATTLE — Ryan Rowland-Smith earned his first win of the season, holding Cincinnati to three hits over six innings. The Reds scored one run in the threegame series. They’ve lost six of seven. Padres 9, Orioles 4 SAN DIEGO — Will Venable hit a three-run homer, dashing Jake Arrieta’s bid to win his first three big league starts, and the San Diego Padres rallied from a four-run deficit in the first inning. Athletics 3, Cardinals 2 ST. LOUIS — Kevin Kouzmanoff had a season-high four hits, including a home run, and Trevor Cahill threw six strong innings to lead Oakland. Closer Andrew Bailey recorded four outs for his 13th save. He got Albert Pujols to fly out with runners on first and third to end the eighth. White Sox 6, Nationals 3 WASHINGTON — Paul Konerko drove in three runs, Freddy Garcia won his fifth straight start and the White Sox earned their sixth victory in a row. The Nationals lost their sixth straight game. The White Sox went 8-1 on their road trip and reached .500 for the first time since they were 1-1 in early April. Tigers 3, Diamondbacks 1 DETROIT — Max Scherzer pitched seven impressive innings against his former team and late home runs by Brennan Boesch and Carlos Guillen rallied the Tigers past Arizona. Boesch and Guillen hit consecutive homers in the seventh to help the Tigers finish up an 8-1 homestand against NL opponents. Arizona has lost 15 of its last 16 road games. Cubs 12, Angels 1 CHICAGO — Carlos Zambrano pitched seven strong innings, Derrek Lee drove in a season-high four runs and Geovany Soto homered. Giants 9, Blue Jays 6 TORONTO — Freddy Sanchez, Pat Burrell and Aubrey Huff homered and the San Francisco Giants beat the Toronto Blue Jays for their first win at an AL ballpark this season. The Giants had been 0-5 in interleague road games until winning the series finale. Pirates 5, Indians 3 PITTSBURGH — Rookie Pedro Alvarez’s sacrifice fly in the eighth inning drove in the go-ahead run. NATIONAL LEAGUE Brewers 6, Rockies 1 DENVER — Rickie Weeks and Corey Hart hit two-run doubles in a five-run ninth inning.

Big 3 a bust on final day BY EDDIE PELLS Associated Press
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — They go on a first-name basis: Tiger, Phil and Ernie. On Sunday, they all went home empty. When the final round of the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach was over, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els could all say they had their chances. None, however, could convert, which is how a little-known European named Graeme McDowell found himself holding the trophy. That’s three players with 20 majors between them, and none could figure out a way to make it 21. Els, playing some of the best golf of his life of late, got tantalizingly close to his first major championship since the 2002 British Open but went bogey-double-bogey on Nos. 9 and 10 to throw away his chance. He finished third, two shots out of the lead. Mickelson, the Masters winner searching for the second leg of the Grand Slam, made birdie with a putt from off the green on No. 1, but didn’t make another one the rest of the day. He tied for fourth with Woods, who, like Mickelson, shot a 66 earlier in the tournament to put himself in position to win. “I thought when I made that putt on the first hole, it was going to be a great day,” said Mickelson, who found the greens getting bumpier and more unpredictable as he worked his way around on a cool, breezy day at Pebble. As did Woods.
“Every putt I missed was from above the hole,” he said. “Yesterday I made everything because it was all below the hole. These greens are bumpy enough where putts above the holes, it’s just pot luck.” While Woods found himself on the wrong side of the hole for most of the day, Mickelson and Els each watched their title hopes slip away on the so-called “Cliffs of Doom” — the stretch of holes 8, 9 and 10 that run along the Monterey Peninsula. Els was at 3-under par, tied with McDowell for the lead, when he came up short on his approach on No. 9, then chipped up short, as well, and needed two putts to get down. Bogey. Then, the real killer: a tee shot that went off the course, over the edge, almost certainly matted in the thick grass that leads down to the beach. It’s the Pacific Ocean — the biggest water hazard in the world — and Els had the common sense to ask a rules official if he would be penalized for touching the ground as he picked his way down the hill, trying to keep his balance. No problem there. But he never found his ball. And when he came back onto terra firma to drop, he chunked it, hit that ball into the tall grass, and was lucky to make a 6. Mickelson spent all day Sunday playing catch-up, a reality captured best when, trailing McDowell by three with three holes left, he went pin hunting on No. 16 and left the ball buried in the deep rough, en route to a bogey. “I took a chance, it didn’t pay off,” he told his caddie, Jim “Bones” Mackay. No way to argue with that one.
MCDOWELL
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — The leader was imploding just behind him, and a nobody was playing alongside him. It seemed the perfect time for Tiger Woods to step up and finally answer at least some of the questions about him. Not the one posed by the banner drawn by a plane overhead. It got a cheap laugh from the gallery but the joke was a tired one, even on Father’s Day. “Tiger, are you my daddy?” it read. A better question might have been posed a few hours later. “Tiger, why can’t you finish the job on Sunday anymore?” The answer was probably out there somewhere on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific, where Graeme McDowell played the kind of solid Sunday golf Woods used to be known for to win the U.S. Open. Try as we might, though, it was hard to pinpoint one good reason why the greatest closer in the game can’t seem to close the show these days. Yes, his putting was bad. Yes, his iron shots weren’t terribly accurate. But all he needed to do was shoot even par to win his 15th major championship. And he couldn’t even come close. The old Tiger would have wrapped this one up before he even got to the 18th hole. He and caddie Steve Williams could have had a few laughs walking down the final fairway. The new Tiger was out of contention by the time he reached the iconic final hole. Even then he couldn’t find the fairway off the tee. The record will show he tied Phil Mickelson for fourth place, certainly a respectable showing by most standards. But Tiger Woods was never one to be measured by most standards, especially on a course where he

There were hints even before the sex scandal that sent him into hiding and then into rehab that there were cracks in the Woods’ facade. They were readily apparent when Woods lost a final round lead for the first time in a major and was beaten by Y.E. Yang for the PGA Championship. Woods has now lost three majors in a row that he had a chance to win on Sunday, and he seems as perplexed as anyone about the reasons why. Father’s Day without a family to celebrate with? Who knows. Inability to focus when it matters most because his mind is still on other things? Possibly. Maybe, though, it’s as simple as this: Woods can’t find the killer instinct he once carried around the course with a swagger. He’s
lost the edge that always allowed him to pour in putts seemingly at will when he needed them the most. Woods himself didn’t offer much insight before gassing up the private jet and getting out of town. “I feel like I can play now,” he said. “I’ve got a feel for my game, my shape of my shots, what I’m working on.” What had to be especially frustrating to the greatest player of his era was that this Open was there for the taking. Johnson threw away a three-shot lead and his chances with some early blunders, Mickelson couldn’t get anything going, and Ernie Els was consistently inconsistent. That left McDowell and Woods’ playing partner, Gregory Havret of France, to dispose of. Woods didn’t come close, following Saturday’s sterling 66 with a bloated 75 that seemed preordained the minute he three-putted the first green.
Introducing
FROM 1B
What a wasted opportunity that turned out to be. McDowell’s lone birdie was an eight-foot putt on the fifth hole, and his final round was the highest score by a U.S. Open champion since Andy North in 1985. “I can’t believe I’m standing with this right now,” McDowell said, posing with silver trophy. “It’s a dream come true. I’ve been dreaming it all my life. Two putts to win the U.S. Open. Can’t believe it happened.” Woods couldn’t believe it, either. Poised to end six months of bad publicity over a shattered personal life, he bogeyed five of his first 10 holes and took himself out of contention with a 75. “I made three mental mistakes,” Woods said sourly. “The only thing it cost us was a chance to win the U.S. Open.” Els and Mickelson hung around a little longer, and both had opportunities, but neither could capitalize. Els had a brief share of the lead on the front nine but came undone along the coastal holes — including one stretch of bogey-double bogey-bogey — and never quite recovered. His hopes ended when he missed his target with a sand wedge on the par-5 14th and took bogey, then missed a four-foot birdie putt on the 15th. He closed with a 73 to finish alone in third. Mickelson holed a birdie putt from just off the green on the first hole, then didn’t made another birdie the rest of the day. He also shot a 73 and tied for fourth with Woods, missing a chance to supplant Woods at No. 1 in the world. “It was anybody’s ball game,” Mickelson said. “I had a number of opportunities to get well under par, and I didn’t do it.” Even so, nothing compares with what happened to Johnson. The 25-year-old American looked so unflappable all week and came apart so quickly. On the final hole of a round he won’t forget, Johnson missed a two-foot birdie putt and wound up with an 82, the highest closing round by a

Dustin Johnson watches a poor shot on the seventh hole. 54-hole leader in the U.S. Open since Fred McLeod shot 83 in 1911. McDowell finished at evenpar 284 and ended 40 years of questions about when a European would be U.S. Open champion again. Tony Jacklin of England was the last one, in 1970 at Hazeltine. McDowell had to work harder than he imagined. Even under overcast skies and a stiff breeze, the course was as firm and dangerous as ever. Davis Love III, with a 71, was the only player in the final five groups to match par. “I can’t believe how difficult this golf course was,” McDowell said. “No matter how good you play ... good golf got reward, and bad golf got punished really badly.” McDowell got into the U.S. Open by narrowly getting into the top 50 in the world at the deadline to avoid qualifying. He wound up with his first victory in America to go along with five European Tour victories, most recently the Wales Open last month at the home course for the Ryder Cup in October. He is sure to
be part of the European team now, moving up to No. 13 in the world. “To play steady and to withstand some tough holes the way Graeme did and to come out on top, he played some great golf,” Mickelson said. “It was a wide-open tournament. Many guys had a chance. And it made for kind of an exciting U.S. Open, I thought.” It didn’t sound like one. The gentle waves lapping the shore almost made more noise than the gallery, with so few birdies to cheer on a day that was more about survival. McDowell had a three-shot lead as he walked down the 10th fairway, and from there it was a matter of hanging on. “You go chasing and you’ll make bogeys,” McDowell said. Mickelson gave it one last try when he fired at a dangerous pin on the right side of the 16th green. It came up just short and buried in the deep grass, and when the Masters champion heard the groan, he said to caddie Jim Mackay, “I took a chance, Bones. Didn’t pay off.”

Federer remains the favorite at Wimbledon ana’s National Pathfinder Award, joining his mother and father who shared the honor in 2006. The award is given to individuals who show a commitment to improving the lives of America’s children. Manning is the second NFL player to win the award — the other is his father, Archie — but he is the only active NFL player to win. Peyton and Archie Manning are the first father-son tandem ever honored by the organization. Previous award winners include Larry Bird, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Oscar Robertson and John Wooden.
Associated Press
WIMBLEDON, England — Walking the Wimbledon grounds Sunday, wearing a stylish white jacket with gold trim, his collar turned up for protection from a biting wind, the tournament’s sixtime champion looked like the same old Roger Federer. True, there have been signs of slippage this month. Federer lost at the French Open in the quarterfinals, his earliest Grand Slam exit in six years. Then he dropped to No. 2 in the rankings behind nemesis Rafael Nadal. Then, at a Wimbledon warm-up event, came Federer’s second grass-court defeat since 2003, extending his drought of nearly five months without a title. But the All England Club tends to bring out the best in Federer, which is awfully good. He has reached a record seven consecutive Wimbledon finals, losing only one of them — to Nadal in 2008. Last year Federer regained the title, beating Andy Roddick 16-14 in the fifth set of a final that ranked with the sport’s greatest matches. And so when Federer steps onto an immaculate Centre Court lawn for his opening-round match today against Alejandro Falla of Colombia, he’ll again be the man to beat. Tournament organizers acknowledged as much by giving Federer the top seeding even though he’s ranked second. He’ll try to join Pete Sampras and 19th-century champion Willie Renshaw as the only men to win the singles title seven times. “Obviously my game’s made for grass,” Federer said. “I definitely think every time I play, I’ll have a chance to win here, there’s no doubt. We all know how hard it is to win Grand Slam titles. But I think the experience I have on this surface can pull me through many matches maybe I would be struggling with.” Also made for grass are women’s favorites Serena and Venus Williams, who are seeded 1-2 and have combined to win eight

NASCAR said Parks passed away at his home Sunday morning in Atlanta. He had attended a reception May 20 for the induction of the inaugural Hall of Fame class. “It was good for the industry and so many current fans to see the man in person,” NASCAR president Mike Helton said at Infineon Raceway, site of Sunday’s race. Helton called Parks “the heart and soul or the spirit that got NASCAR started.” Parks was the last living member of the group of men who created NASCAR in 1947 during a meeting at the Streamline Hotel in Daytona Beach, Fla.

Italy held to stunning 1-1 draw by New Zealand Associated Press
NELSPRUIT, South Africa — Defending champion Italy was held to a second 1-1 draw, this time by lowly New Zealand in the latest World Cup stunner. The 78th-ranked All Whites took the lead after only seven minutes of Sunday’s Group F match when Italy’s 36-year-old captain Fabio Cannavaro made a horrendous error, handing a goal to Shane Smeltz. A long free kick from Simon Elliott sailed deep into Italy’s area, off Cannavaro’s hip as he fell and directly toward the waiting Smeltz for the tap-in. It was New Zealand’s only shot on goal the entire match. Riccardo Montolivo hit the goalpost for Italy in the 27th, then Vincenzo Iaquinta equalized two minutes later with a penalty kick. Tommy Smith was given a yellow card for tugging down Daniele De Rossi inside the area on a corner kick. Italy meets Slovakia in its final group match Thursday and New Zealand faces Paraguay. All four teams could still advance. Paraguay 2, Slovakia 0 BLOEMFONTEIN, South Africa
— Enrique Vera and Cristian Riveros scored as Paraguay moved closer to advancing at the World Cup. Vera broke through for La Albirroja in the 27th when forward Lucas Barrios slipped a pass into the box and Vera angled it past Slovakia goalkeeper Jan Mucha with a onetime shot. Riveros added a goal in the 86th minute, a left-footed blast from the edge of the penalty area. Brazil 3, Ivory Coast 1 JOHANNESBURG — Brute force and hand balls aside, Brazil has achieved its first objective at the World Cup: advancing out of Group G. The physical match saw Brazil star Kaka ejected with two late yellow cards. Luis Fabiano scored a pair of goals, one with the aid of touches with his arm and his hand, while Elano added another. “It’s true, the ball really touched my hand and then my shoulder,” Luis Fabiano said. “But it was involuntary. It was one of the greatest goals I’ve scored in my career.” Ivory Coast coach Sven-Goran Eriksson was livid that that the second goal counted. “They got a goal free,” Eriksson said. “That’s a 2-nil goal — that
changed everything.” Kaka will be suspended for Brazil’s next match, against Portugal. He got into an altercation with Kader Keita near the end of the match. UNITED STATES IRENE, South Africa — Clint Dempsey says the referee who disallowed a late American go-ahead goal against Slovenia encouraged rough play in the penalty area by failing to whistle infractions early in the game. “Before the tournament, they told us that any type of holding on corners is a penalty, any type of grabbing around a player is a penalty. So when we get to the game, that’s not what’s going on,” he said Sunday. “So you have to adapt.” After the U.S. rallied from a twogoal halftime deficit Friday to tie the score, Maurice Edu appeared to put the Americans ahead in the 85th minute when he volleyed in Landon Donovan’s free kick. But referee Koman Coulibaly of Mali called it off for reasons he didn’t explain, and the game finished 2-2. Some speculated the whistle was because Dempsey pushed Andraz Kirm as Donovan took the kick. “That’s the one set piece where
I’m probably not mixing it up with somebody,” Dempsey said. “I acted like I was going to go in. I came back, and went around to the far post, and if Mo had missed the ball, I would have had the goal. So if you freezeframe that play, three of our guys are in a head lock. So to single me out, that that’s a play that I caused trouble on, I don’t think you’re really watching the game. But saying that, probably there were plays where I did mix up it during the game, on other plays. But on that one, for sure not.” Dempsey thought Coulibaly’s inaction led to increased pushing and shoving. IRENE, South Africa — FIFA told the U.S. Soccer Federation that the American team can’t train at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria on Tuesday ahead of the game against Algeria the following day. “They’re protecting the pitch,” team spokesman Michael Kammarman said Sunday. Algeria also was barred from practicing there. FRANCE KNYSNA, South Africa — A draw, a loss, a tantrum and now chaos for Les Bleus.
France’s World Cup team refused to train Sunday in protest of striker Nicolas Anelka’s expulsion from the squad, prompted by a profanitylaced tirade against coach Raymond Domenech the day before. The latest round of turbulence also led to the resignation of France team director Jean-Louis Valentin, who said he was fed up with the team. “It’s a scandal for the French, for the young people here. It’s a scandal for the federation and the French team,” Valentin said. “They don’t want to train. It’s unacceptable.” Before getting in a car and driving off, he added: “As for me, it’s over. I’m leaving the federation. I’m sickened and disgusted.” NIGERIA JOHANNESBURG — The Nigerian team has asked its government to provide security for midfielder Sani Kaita after his red card during a World Cup loss to Greece prompted more than 1,000 death threats. Nigeria team spokesman Idah Peterside said Kaita has received the death threats via e-mail from Nigeria ever since he was sent off for kicking out at Greece’s Vassilis Torosidis in the 33rd minute of Thursday’s 2-1 loss at Bloemfontein.

Pursuant to North Carolina General Statutes ("Gen. Stat.") 45-21.8 and 45-21.9, the Trustee gives notice that the Property in question consists of multiple parcels of real estate and the Trustee expressly reserves the right to sell only as many of such parcels as the Trustee in the Trustee's judgment believes necessary to satisfy the obligation secured by the Deed of Trust and the costs and expenses of the sale. If the Trustee effects to sell only a portion of the parcels subject to the Deed of Trust but the proceeds thereof are inadequate to satisfy the obligation secured by the Deed of Trust and the costs and expenses of the sale, the Trustee expressly reserves the right to exercise the power of sale contained in the Deed of Trust and re-advertise the unsold parcels or a portion thereof and sell as many additional units or parcels as the Trustee believes is in the Trustee's judgment to be necessary to satisfy the remainder of the secured obligation and costs and expenses of such sale.
Ten Reasons to Advertise in Tough Economic Times 1. You’re Open.
You still turn your lights on; why not invite people in? If you are open for business you must market your business.
2. Opportunity.
If the pool gets smaller, your visibility increases your odds of being the vendor of choice and seizing share from your competitors.
3. Reliability.
Media mix is a desirable goal except during tough times when you need to rely more heavily on the core medium: newspaper.
4. Proven Results.
During tough times, your advertising needs to be focused on Return On Investment. Newspaper advertising is a proven ROI vehicle.
5. Fish Where the Fish Are.
The Salisbury Post and www.salisburypost.com offer the best local reach by a country mile and is the first place to look for consumers for your services. It is the ONLY medium where readers buy the product for the ads as well as the content.
6. Tough Customers.
Be among the considered choices. The Salisbury Post is a marketplace for
shoppers and if you aren’t here, you may not be considered as a choice for those who are buying.
7. Credibility.
Advertising in a credible medium is an indication you are credible as well.
8. Bravado.
Never show your fear. Advertising indicates confidence in your business.
9. Start the Process.
Even if customers are not buying today, advertising is your opportunity to start people thinking about what to buy and where to buy it. It will pay off later.
10. It’s a Fact!
The Salisbury Post and www.salisburypost.com reach 74% of Rowan's adult population every week — more readers than five years ago. Include our weekly direct mail "Extra" product and you reach over 90%. The percent of Rowan adults who read the Charlotte Observer, Independent Tribune, or listen to any local radio stations: LESS THAN 20% COMBINED! The number of Salisbury Post/www.salisburypost.com subscribers and readers is INCREASING.
The property offered pursuant to this Notice is being offered for sale, transfer, and conveyance AS IS, WHERE IS. Neither the Trustee nor the holder of the indebtedness secured by the deed of trust, security agreement, or both, being foreclosed, nor their officers, directors, attorneys, representatives, employees, or agents make any representation or warranty relating to the title or any physical, health, environmental, or safety conditions existing in, on, at, or relating to said property, and any liability or responsibility arising out of or in any way relating to any such condition is expressly disclaimed. The Trustee may, in the Trustee's sole discretion, delay the sale for one hour as provided in Gen. Stat. 45-21.23. At the sale, any bid must be at least $100.00 more than the immediately preceding bid. If the highest bidder is anyone other than the holder of the indebtedness, such high bidder must pay, in addition to the bid price, the fees or taxes imposed by Gen. Stat. 7A-308(a)(1) and 105 228.30 and any other tax or fee based upon the sale of the subject property or the sale price thereof. The Trustee reserves the right to require of the successful bidder at such sale a deposit of 5% of the amount bid in the form of certified funds, official bank check, or the equivalent (as provided in the Deed of Trust or by law), or Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($750.00), whichever is greater. The sale is subject to unpaid taxes, special assessments, restrictions and easements of record, and prior liens, if any. The sale will be held open ten (10) days for upset bids as required by law. Thereafter, all remaining amounts are immediately due and owing and time is of the essence. Any announcement made at the sale takes precedence over these terms of sale to the extent allowed by law. If the subject property is residential real property with less than 15 rental units, pursuant to Gen. Stat. 45-21.16A(b), the following notice is provided: (1) An order for possession of the property may be issued pursuant to Gen. Stat. 45-21.29 in favor of the purchaser and against the party or parties in possession by the clerk of superior court of the county in which the property is sold; and (2) Any person who occupies the property pursuant to a rental agreement entered into or renewed on or after October 1, 2007, may, after receiving the notice of sale, terminate the rental agreement upon 10 days' written notice to the landlord. Upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is liable for rent due under the rental agreement prorated to the effective date of the termination. This Is an Effort to Collect a Debt and Any Information Obtained Will Be Used for That Purpose. This the 17th day of June, 2010. SUBSTITUTE TRUSTEE: K. Todd Phillips, N.C.

Monday, June 21 There is a good chance that you might establish some goals in the year ahead that are a complete departure from what you’ve set in the past, which is OK if they are taking you to grand places. What you envision can be achieved. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — It might take far greater discipline than usual to finish what you start today. If you don’t want to leave a mess in your wake, you had better stay on top of whatever you take on. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Generally, you’re pretty careful about what you say about others, but today some flippant negative comments could be taken more seriously than usual. Mean what you say and say only what you mean. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Although there are plenty of substantial material opportunities hovering about you today, you will need a sharp eye to detect them. Unless you are seriously looking for them, you could easily miss them. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Those in your charge will easily be able to discern whether you are being tough or just pretending when you give them orders today. You’ll have to really mean it for your dictates are to be followed. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Overhearing a disclosure that is meant to be confidential could put you on track to something quite beneficial if you are sharp enough to pick up on it and know how to constructively use it. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Prompting from an acquaintance could cause you to behave in an abrasive manner to someone who doesn’t really deserve it. Don’t be hoodwinked into believing what isn’t true. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — If an ambitious plan you’ve been contemplating is prematurely exposed today, it could easily weaken your position. Guard your important intentions more carefully. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Be careful not to allow someone who is famous for making waves draw you into one of his/her intrigues today. If you participate, you will be the one who ends up looking like the perpetrator. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Success in a collective situation will not be enhanced by a large number of participants today. Only people with talent and know-how will be able to pull off what everybody is hoping. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Generally you are one who nearly always thinks for yourself, but today this splendid quality won’t be visible. Although you rarely do so, you will let bias influence your opinions at this time. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Check to see if it is a selfish reason that is causing you to step out of character. Don’t make one set of rules for yourself, while making an entirely different set for everybody else. Gemini (May 21-June 20) -— Generally speaking you are noticed wherever you go, regardless of what you are doing or who you are with, so make sure the impression you make today isn’t a negative one.

A bit of insight into the genetic test kit Insight Dear Dr. Gott: Thank heavens for your website, since I can get a very important question out to you immediately without using snail mail. While watching the news last evening, I heard about a test kit I can purchase over the counter that will ina posDR. PETER dicate sible genetic GOTT predisposition to such medical problems as Parkinson’s disease and heart trouble. I was informed the kit will cost up to $30, and once a saliva specimen is sent in to the laboratory, the testing will begin at an additional expense of up to $437. I am not sure I can handle knowing if my world will fall apart around me, or if I should just plug along as I am — blissfully ignorant of what might lie ahead. Or perhaps it is worth double the money just to know. What can you tell me about the idea? Dear Reader: Pathway Genomics in San Diego, Calif., is attempting to market a test kit known as Insight, which will offer genetic health reporting. They have a few online retailers who have been marketing the product on a small-scale basis, but Walgreens and CVS have been targeted for mass distribution to the public. Now take a step back, because
the Food and Drug Administration enters the picture. According to a recent Los Angeles Times article, Pathway officials assert that the kit meets federal regulations and doesn’t require FDA approval. The FDA has given Pathway 15 days to respond to its requests for more information justifying that statement. This has caused a Walgreens spokesman to issue a statement postponing offering the product to their customers without clarification from the FDA. Because of the lag time of my column, a decision may have already been made by the time this column goes to print. The National Society of Genetic Counselors has issued a warning that while selling home kits through drugstores would give more people access to genetic testing, such information without input from a doctor could increase the chances of misunderstanding and misinterpretation. Because there may be a genetic predisposition to a disease and a person may be at increased risk doesn’t make that disorder a certainty. Furthermore, the kit is not forwarded to your local hospital but is mailed to a Pathway Genomics laboratory. Results are provided back via the Internet. I don’t know about you, but I’ve watched too many TV police shows to be willing to share my DNA with a perfect stranger. Given an option, I would prefer the saliva be sent to my local
hospital, but that’s apparently where the $437 comes in. Scientists and bioethicists have expressed concern that consumers will misuse or misunderstand the results. It’s my guess that if you poll two of your closest friends, 20 people at work or 500 in your community, you will get a split decision between people who definitely want to know what might be in store and people who prefer to accept conditions as they occur. Make an appointment for a complete examination with your primarycare physician. Include blood work, a baseline EKG, chest X-ray and any other testing that might be appropriate based on your family history. If you are without insurance and money is an issue, speak with your physician about affordable selective testing. Then speak with your
hospital to set up a payment plan that meets your budget restrictions. Eat well, exercise to the fullest extent of your capabilities, and get adequate sleep. 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.

U.S. exec must clean up oil spill and BP’s image
Painting and drawing fill artist’s days
SHAVONNE POTTS/SALISBURY POST
LONDON (AP) — BP’s new strategy to clean up its image and the Gulf Coast is to hand the job from its British CEO, widely criticized for tone-deaf comments and yachting amid the crisis, to one of its top-ranking Americans. Bob Dudley is no stranger to tough situations, having protected his company’s interests in rough dealing in Russia even after he was barred from the country. Perhaps most importantly, he is a fresh face for the oil giant as it attempts to fix the spill and protect its future. Dudley will take over as BP’s point man on the spill response, reporting to CEO Tony Hayward. Company officials have variously put the time frame at anywhere from immediately until after the spill is plugged, which isn’t likely to happen until August. Hayward’s gaffes include saying, “I’d like my life back,” and most recently enjoying a yacht race off the coast of England on Saturday while oil spill relief workers sweated it out. BP officials, however, say the switch is intended to allow Hayward to focus on running the company, rather than an attempt to bounce back from bad publicity. Dudley, BP’s managing director, spent part of his boyhood in Hattiesburg, Miss., an easy drive from the coast. The 54-year-old spent two decades climbing the ranks at Amoco Corp., which merged with BP, and lost out to Hayward on the CEO’s slot three years ago. Analysts say Dudley’s job will involve nothing short of rehabilitating the environment, compensating everyone who has suffered a loss and generally salvaging BP’s global image. Dudley has plenty of experience protecting BP’s interests under great pressure. As chief of TNK-BP, a joint venture with a consortium of Russian billionaires, he steered the firm through a series of politically explosive disputes that saw one employee charged with espionage, the company’s offices raided by Russian intelligence, an investor boycott and a barrage of tax and labor investigations. In the teeth of a Russian effort to remove him from office, Dudley clung on until 2008, at one point running the company from abroad after Russian authorities barred him from the country. Despite fears that BP’s partners would expropriate the British company’s share of the venture, BP has managed
Joseph Heilig, a Salisbury artist, for years didn't pick up a paint brush, but has recently started painting again.

When Joseph Heilig was in first grade, he created his own cartoon characters. As a fan of comic books, he began drawing his own heroes and heroines. His love of drawing led him to an art and design school in his native New York when he was a preteen. He lived in the Queens Bridge housing projects in Long Island City. “Life was tough. There was drugs and shootings going on. There was a touch of racism. We did what we could to survive,” he said of his childhood. As a child he could just think of something and draw how he thought it should fit together. “I always had an imagination. I would sit down and sometimes I would get some stuff from life and stuff that was in my head and put them together,” he said. Heilig graduated art school and eventually entered trade school for refrigeration, but had to leave because he was unable to continue paying for classes. “I was preoccupied with the streets,” he admits. He used to escape with alcohol. No drugs, he’s quick to say, but he was a drinker. “I used to drink, now I don’t need that stuff anymore. I don’t need that to open my mind and express myself,” Heilig said. Heilig didn’t pick up a pencil or paint for sometime. In 1999, he came to Salisbury, where he had family. His mother was born in Salisbury. When he first arrived in Salisbury, he drew a little, creating portraits and design work, but stopped to return to work full time. “Life was much different,” he said. Coming down South was sort of a culture shock for Heilig, who was used to people who never spoke to strangers and stores with bars on the windows. “Living in the South, people were friendly. I was shocked at how nice people were,” Heilig said. His first job was at Sam’s Car Wash. He moved to several other jobs over the years including the Stadium Club, a sports bar in what is now a Mexican restaurant along Jake Alexander Boulevard. Heilig has also worked at Catawba College and in textiles. “When the recession hit, that’s when things went bad,” he said. Heilig found himself out of work and at Rowan Helping Ministries after he lost his apartment. He told a friend that he could draw, but the friend didn’t believe him. So Heilig drew something. In 2007, Heilig began drawing again. Heilig, now 54, paints or sketches every day. “I do a lot of pencil work, pen, color pencil, watercolor, pastels, acrylic and oils,” he said. He does abstract, still life, portraits, illustrations and designs. His favorite subject to paint is animals. “You don’t have to pay animals to sit. Plus people like animals,” he said. He’s sold very little as of late, but hopes to sell more work. “I want an opportunity to show my art,” he said. Heilig’s pieces are very dear to him — some of them he’s not willing to sell. “I like my artwork so much it’s hard to part with,” he said. His passion is an expensive one,

Tornado rips businesses, arena in Montana
Salisbury artist Joseph Heilig painted these animal portraits. He attended art school as a teenager, but for a time did not pick up a paint brush, until a few years ago. Heilig admits. One that requires money that he doesn’t have. He sometimes barely has enough money for food. Heilig has bartered for materials and supplies. His art supply will soon run out. He hasn’t thought far into the future as to what he’ll do when he’s down to the last of his paints. For now, he spends his days going to the

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A tornado that ripped the roof off a sports arena in Billings, Mont., Sunday evening also tore through businesses, damaging a bar and a casino and leaving just the walls of an auto glass shop standing. The tornado struck at about 5 p.m. as a big storm system with golf ball-sized hail passed through the area. After running through Main Street in the city’s northeast area, the twister moved toward the 10,000-seat Rimrock Auto Arena about a half-mile away, where it hovered for about 15 minutes, snapping trees and telephone poles. “It would touch down and suck back up and touch down and touch down again,” said Trooper Toman Baukema of the Montana Highway Patrol, who saw the tornado from a patrol station about a mile away. Big pieces of metal could be seen hanging from power lines near the arena, and tangles of insulation and metal debris were strewn for hundreds of yards in the surrounding industrial area. There were several employees inside the arena when it struck, but there were no reports of injuries, Baukema said. Billings police Lt. Mark Cady said the only

Clarification Saturday’s story, “Board to consider budget,” included projections from Rowan County Manager Gary Page about cuts the county may have to make in 2011-12. The county will not have to take these measures in the coming fiscal year, 2010-11, and they are not included in the budget to be discussed Monday. Page said if Rowan County continues spending much more than it takes in, either taxes would have to be raised or significant cuts would have to be made. These would including county employee furlough days or a salary cut, halved funding to nonprofit groups and reduced park and library hours. The county is avoiding these cuts this year by taking money from its fund balance, but it may not be able to do so in the future.
YESTERDAY This photograph of a seventh-grade field trip from J.C. Price High School in 1938 belongs to Virginia Pharr Wilson, historian for the Price National Alumni Association, which held its reunion in Salisbury this past weekend. It was the first reunion to celebrate the school’s inclusion this year on the National Register of Historic Places. Price High School included grades 7-12 and was Salisbury’s black high school from 1932 through the 1968-69 school year. Rowan Public Library currently has an exhibit of photos from J.C. Price High that is titled, “Cherish the Black and Red.” Salisbury historian Betty Dan Spencer scanned this photo from Wilson’s collection.
Yoga, running and wine can help combat symptoms of RLS Q: I have restless leg syndrome, are there any exercises that can help it? A: Let me explain what restless leg syndrome is first. Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder characterized by unpleasant sensations in the legs and an uncontrollable urge to move when at rest. RLS sensations are often described as burning, ESTER creeping, MARSH tugging or like insects crawling inside your legs (yikes!) There are different ranges of severity from uncomfortable to irritating to painful. The most distinctive aspect of RLS is when lying down and trying to relax, it activates the symptoms. So as a result most people with RLS have a hard time falling asleep or wake up with symptoms. How do you get it? In most cases the cause is unknown. A family history of RLS is seen in about 50 percent of cases. In other cases RLS appears to be related to the following factors or conditions (research has not proven if these factors actually cause RLS) • People with low iron
Lottery numbers — RALEIGH (AP) — These North Carolina lotteries were drawn Sunday: Cash 5: 12-16-19-3037, Evening Pick 3: 9-7-6, Mega Millions: Estimated jackpot: $26 million, Pick 4: 9-1-4-3, Powerball: Estimated jackpot: $97 million
levels or anemia are prone to developing RLS; • Chronic diseases such as kidney failure, diabetes, Parkinson’s and periphereral neuropathy are associated with RLS; • Some pregnant women may experience RLS; • Certain medications such as antinausea drugs, antiseizure drugs and some cold and allergy medications may aggravate symptoms; • Research has also found that caffeine, alcohol and tobacco may aggravate or trigger symptoms in patients who are predisposed to develop RLS. When you have your leg “jerking” while you are trying to sleep or rest the last thing on your mind is to exercise that leg. After doing research on this subject I found that exercising your legs is excellent therapy for RLS. I found that yoga is one of the best ways to combat RLS. Yoga features both physical and mental components, allowing you to calm your entire system down. You might find that breathing exercises and stretches also might be beneficial. If you are dealing with RLS during the day at work you might find significant relief from a

that their kid has grown up. “Whether you’re a kid or a paarent, you always come to a fork in the road where you make the decision of what to do about your toys. Therein lies the appeal of the movie,” said Chuck Viane, head of distribution for Disney. That, and the fact that Woody, Buzz and the gang have become like family to “Toy Story” fans, he said. “Somehow these characters have worked their way in. When you go there, you can see the audience is vested in the movie from the start. It doesn’t take any time to warm up. The minute it hits the screen, they’re in,” Viane said. “Toy Story 3” took over the No. 1 spot from Sony’s “The Karate Kid,” which pulled in $29 million to raise its 10-day total to $106.3 million.

morning and evening run. Run hard then spend time stretching your legs as deeply as possible. Deep tissue massage might give you some relief. Exercise before bedtime has been successful with some people. It does mention for best results to perform leg exercises as close to bedtime as possible since leg exercises and walks bring only shortterm relief. Exercise helps by releasing endorphins, the body’s natural painkiller. Remember to take your vitamins. As mentioned above, several studies have shown that iron deficiency can trigger symptoms of RLS. Have a glass a wine. There are people who have RLS who get relief by drinking a glass of wine each night. Please note there is no scientific evidence that wine helps relief RLS. Make sure you stay in contact with your doctor about your RLS (or have your doctor diagnose you first) because there is medication that is used to treat RLS. So run hard, do yoga and have a glass of wine … good luck.

Children in Dikatole receive more than 15,000 books

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Linda Ketner backers want her on Senate ballot.

For the Salisbury Post
Ellen Messinger visited South Africa in May. She travels frequently, so that’s not unusual. What is unusual is that she delivered thousands of children’s books to schools there. She is quick to deflect any praise, saying that her visit was just the tip of a very large iceberg. Ellen went to South Africa with her dear friend Beth Patterson Masters. Beth, who lives in New Jersey, is the daughter of Frank and Norma Patterson of China Grove. Beth’s son, Jake, 20, is spending eight weeks in South Africa on an Ingram grant. He is an Ingram Scholar at Vanderbilt University, a full tuition scholarship. “The scholarship is based on community service, as well as academics, with service being the main component,” Beth says. “He won the scholarship for his work at Dikatole.” Jake and his family lived in London for three years, and his father Kent traveled to South Africa often on business. During these visits, Jake went to South African orphanages. His first visit was in 2005. Although he was just 15 at the time, he wanted to do something to help the children. Why not donate his collection of Beanie Babies he’d outgrown? Jake’s story grew, and he eventually donated more than 3,500 Beanie Babies to delighted South African children. But he wanted to do more. He’s given CD players, soccer balls and art supplies. He renovated a pool at the Bethesda AIDS orphanage, run by the Salvation Army, in time for Christmas 2006. Jake asked for donations for the project in lieu of gifts that year. But he wanted to do more. He eventually found his way to Dikatole, a squatter’s camp, built on the site of an old mine. “Dikatole” means “lost child.” “It’s awful,” Ellen says. “It’s horrible.” She has worked in the slums of Jamaica. “This was not the first time I had seen this level of poverty.” Jake knew that education was the only way out, so he started raising money for children to go to school. “It is a nominal fee,” Ellen says. “It is to us, but it is unsurmountable to them.” Jake has learned that, “in Africa, anyone who wishes to can make a difference.” Even a young adult. Jake’s efforts have grown into the Dikatole Scholarship Fund. In 2006, eight children, kindergartners, were identified as high achievers and given scholarships. That number has now grown to 13. A gift of $3,000 provides education for each child through 12th grade, which includes uniforms and school supplies. Ellen decided to sponsor one of the children. She also told Jake she’d pay to ship children’s books to schools there. A book drive yielded some 15,000 books, which will go to Laekerskool Germiston Primary School and Ekurhuleni School. More are going to an after-school program in Durban. Although the books had not yet arrived when Ellen got to South Africa in May, she got to see the libraries that would receive them. “We got more books than we ever thought we’d get,” Ellen says. “That’s a lot to ship. But that’s OK.” “Ellen and Tim Messinger have played a vital role in the success of this book drive,” Jake writes in an e-mail. “Without their generous assistance, we couldn’t have collected so many books, but more importantly, we would have had no means of transferring the books across the ocean to South Africa. “I am in Johannesburg now and the project is going very well. I have been working with around 90 kids for the past three weeks, and I plan to continue to work in South Africa until July 3. Many of the kids ask me when ‘Aunty Ellen’ is coming back with my mom to visit them. “I tell them I’m hoping she comes soon but I’m not sure, as it is quite a long trek to get to Johannesburg. One thing is for sure though, Ellen and Tim have had an enormous impact on these children’s lives in a way these kids will not soon forget.” It was Beth’s idea to go to South Africa to distribute the books. “Plus, I wanted to meet the little girl I sponsor,” Ellen says. “I hope with all my heart I get the opportunity to put her through college,” she says of Wayleen, a second-grader. “Dikatole is not an easy place to visit,” Beth writes in an e-mail. “Ellen was greeted by the sights, sounds and smells that desperate poverty brings: drunken men urinating in the streets at 10 a.m.; dirty, crying children and stray dogs both roaming the

At first glance it seems that drug abuse, poverty and HIV/AIDS are the only things alive and well here. “Ellen, of course, was not fazed by any of this; she just wanted to get to the school, roll up here sleeves, and get on with it. “The children bonded with Ellen almost immediately, and she to them. We took 75 kids bowling one day. Ellen also toured the private school where Jake’s ‘scholars’ attend, and equally important she visited the horrible government school in the squatter camp where the children not on scholarship are forced to attend.” “I was just amazed by the resilience of these kids, to live in the conditions they live in,” Ellen says. “It’s emotionally draining, but rewarding at the same time.” To decompress, Ellen and Beth spent three days on safari at a private game reserve. They saw hyenas, giraffes, wildebeest, crocodiles, hippopotamuses, rhinoceroses and elephants. But she still carries the children of Dikatole in her heart. “I’m sure I’ll go back,” Ellen says. Jake, too, continues his work. “I think he’ll be involved long-term,” Ellen says. “I can’t imagine him letting this go.”

ith the recent, unusually hot spells of temperature, unusual for spring, but par for summer, I thought back to a method for staying cool in our neighborhood on the Old Concord Road. This was in the late 1950s. Since we never went to the beach on vacation — only the mountains — my sole conMACK tact with waWILLIAMS ter as a child (other than bathing , of course) was at Spence Hatley’s house with his children a couple of doors down in their back yard. They would inflate a small plastic pool and fill it with water, then we would jump in (actually step in, due to its shallowness) and splash about. In this type of pool, my feet could feel the earth through the plastic (and the part of me naturally engineered for sitting could feel the earth through the plastic as well), taking all of my fear of water away. A clear plastic hose with which the pool had been filled was lying nearby, and on such a hot summer day we would all turn on the spigot and take a frequent sip of water from the hose. These days, a great number of people drink water from plastic of a different form — bottles. Scientist say that drinking from such bottles may pose a health hazard. Our drinking from that hose was probably not safe either, but a hose is not as likely to be used as a regular drinking vessel, since the extent of its portability only equals the extent of its length. The Hatley’s well pump evidently infused some air into the water, filling the transparent hose with bubbles as well. Unlike the random, scattered explosions of a carbonated drink in a glass, we could see our bubbles lined up, single file, before us. Easily visible, they continually advanced down the length of the hose when each of us took a drink. In the late 1950s, just off of the Old Concord Road, this “soda” refreshed us and our play.

Firefighters work for more than 5 hours to extinguish blaze on Sherrills Ford Road Firefighters were called to the same home twice this weekend to put out a damaging attic fire. A call came in to 911 at 8:14 p.m. Saturday that a fire had started in the attic of a home at 6220 Sherrills Ford Road. According to Rowan County 911 communications, smoke was visible when firefighters arrived.
Four fire departments responded and left after a little more than an hour. At 2:49 a.m. Sunday, several calls were about a fire coming out of the roof at the same house. Five fire departments responded to the second call, in addition to the fire marshal and Rowan County Rescue Squad. Firefighters took more than five hours to extinguish
the blaze. The home was occupied by Richard and Sara Rodgers. The Elizabeth Hanford Dole American Red Cross responded to the scene, but no assistance was needed. Deborah Lineberger, director of Emergency Services for the Red Cross, said the family has insurance on the home.
East YMCA offers triathlon camps this summer Rising third through eighth graders are invited to participate in the East YMCA series of Triathlon Camps. The camps will be offered in one week segments. The first camp session will be offered June 28-July 2, followed by identical sessions on July 19-23 and Aug. 16-20. Camps run from 8:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Each camper will be given individual instruction in swimming, biking, running and transitions. On the Friday morning of each camp, participants will compete in a timed children’s length triathlon. All campers must
bring their own bicycle, helmet, water bottle, swim suit, towel and running shoes. Minor maintenance will be done on bikes at the start of the camp. Each participant will receive a finisher’s medal and dri-fit shirt, along with instruction from experts. Goals of the tri-club camps are to build a strong foundation of swimming, running and cycling techniques. Children will be empowered to strive for their own potential. Nutrition and hydration will be stressed for training and competition. All participants
must be able to swim 50 yards comfortably without assistance. Costs of the camp are as follows. Y members who stay for the morning session of camp will pay $50 per week, or those who stay all day will pay $95.

Civil War soldier comes home after 147 years BY JOHNA STICKLAND
The Robesonian of Lumberton
LUMBERTON (AP) — He left Robeson County in March 1863 to fight for the South in the Civil War, never to be seen again by his wife and their seven children. Eventually a descendant, Jim Walters, found him and brought him home to be buried near his fallen comrades. It took Walters nearly six years to come to the moment on May 8 when local re-enactors gathered to place a stone with the name Calvin C. Britt in the Norment Cemetery on Fifth Street in Lumberton. “It’s a marker indicating his place in history,” Walters said. “... It allows his descendants a little bit of peace and closure.” At the wake on May 7, Walters found family he didn’t know existed. “People I’ve seen all my life and I had no idea I was related to these people,” he said. “... You sit back and scratch your head and think how did we get to this point that we lost some-
BALLOT FROM 3A
Food Lion founder Ralph Ketner, is originally from Salisbury. And the petition to add the Charleston businesswoman and philanthropist as an independent candidate is circulating rapidly through Facebook and other social media. Ketner, meanwhile, is keeping mum. Doug Warner, the finance director for her unsuccessful 2008 bid for Henry Brown’s 1st District congressional seat, said he spoke with her Tuesday before he and about eight other organizers launched the petition. He asked her to give the petition a chance to show bipartisan, grass-roots support, then make a decision on whether to run, Warner said. ‘I know that she is thinking about it,’ he said. Ketner considered in January running again for the 1st
body and he just fell through the cracks with nothing left to signify that he lived except some pxapers in the file.” Walters’ trip back in time began six years ago when he learned from Sammy West, a childhood friend, that one of his ancestors fought in the Civil War. Walters asked West if he was kidding. “From there I started digging, uncovered the whole thing and sort of put it together,” he said. “The more I dug, the more intrigued I became.” He began following Britt’s paper trail. In about a year, he knew the basics of his greatgreat-grandfather’s life from records of military service, birth, marriage, death, census and family writings. For the next five years, he and his family hunted the details. “Other people were going to the beach and the Bahamas and so on and I was out stomping around Civil War battlefields, the archives in Raleigh and the records in Richmond,” Walters said. “... You’re talking about years of working, many miles on the road, many
hours on the computer plowing through records.” Eventually, Britt’s life jumped from many pieces of scattered paper to just three the biography Walters wrote. Britt was 18 years old when he was counted in the 1850 census as the son of Jessie and Mary Britt living in Robeson County. “Lumberton is my home and the community I live in is the same community Calvin lived in,” Walter said. On Sept. 24, 1851, he married Amelia Ann Pitman in Robeson County; they had seven children, the last one born in 1863, about the time he joined the Confederate army. “One of the most fascinating things to me, why in the world did he wait two years to join the Confederacy?” Walters said. And why did he go to Charleston, Walters wondered. For whatever reason, Britt and two other Britts traveled to Charleston, S.C., to enlist. Britt was given the rank of private and assigned to Company E of the 51st North Carolina Infantry.
District seat, which Brown is vacating, but told supporters 2010 was not the time for her to mount a campaign. She ran in 2008 as a Democrat and lost to Brown, 52 percent to 48 percent. It would take 10,000 signatures to get her on the ballot. The Senate seat organizers have launched a website and are trying to recruit 200 volunteers to get 100 signatures each. After the first 24 hours they had 50 volunteers, said Tasha Gandy of Charleston, who is coordinating the petition. The effort is being driven essentially without funding, Warner said. ‘I think that’s the beauty of it,’ he said. ‘There’s been no time to raise money. This is about people saying, ‘I’ve had enough.’ ‘ Warner said the petition effort had until July 15 to get Ketner on the ballot. He was coy when asked whose idea it was and how the group came together.
Robert W. Oldendick, a University of South Carolina political science professor, and Alex Sanders, the former legislator, judge and college president, said they had not heard of anything like it before. Sanders lightheartedly dismissed a rumor that the drive was put together by members of the state party. Democrats are not at all necessarily good at conspiracy. They get too many people involved. Democrat mistakes are dumb, they’re not conspiracies,’ Sanders said. Both he and Oldendick said the late petition effort against a well-recognized, supported and financed opponent like U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., had an uphill battle. Oldendick said its chances were minuscule. ‘I suppose the key is going to be what these computer experts come up with (about alleged ballot box irregularities),’ Sanders said. ‘And if they don’t, we have a nominee.’

Dr. Jeffrey Schaider performs a ultrasound on 50-year-old Teri Moore while Moore is being treated for belly pain, persistent coughing and vomiting at Cook County Stroger Hospital in Chicago. Fast decisions on life-and-death cases are the bread and butter of hospital emergency rooms. Nowhere do doctors face greater pressures to overtest and overtreat. The fear of missing something weighs heavily on every doctor's mind.
ER doctors: Lawsuit fears can lead to overtesting, overtreating CHICAGO (AP) — Fast decisions on life-and-death cases are the bread and butter of hospital emergency rooms. Nowhere do doctors face greater pressures to overtest and overtreat. The fear of missing something weighs heavily on every doctor’s mind. But the stakes are highest in the ER, and that fear often leads to extra blood tests and imaging scans for what may be harmless chest pains, run-of-the-mill head bumps, and non-threatening stomachaches. Many ER doctors say the No. 1 reason is fear of malpractice lawsuits. “It has everything to do with it,” said Dr. Angela Gardner, president of the American College of Emergency Physicians. The fast ER pace plays a role, too: It’s much quicker to order a test than to ask a patient lots of questions to make sure that test is really needed. “It takes time to explain pros and cons. Doctors like to check a box that orders a CT scan and go on to the next patient,” said Dr. Jeffrey Kline, an emergency physician at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, N.C. Patients’ demands drive overtesting, too. Many think every ache and pain deserves a high-tech test. “Our society puts more weight on technology than on physical exams,” Gardner said. “In other words, why would you believe a doctor who only examines you when you can get an X-ray that can tell something for sure?” Refusing those demands creates unhappy patients. And concern that unhappy patients will sue remains the elephant in the emergency room. ER physicians are among the top 10 specialists most likely to be sued for malpractice,
according to leading doctor and insurers groups. The Physicians Insurers Association of America, which represents almost two-thirds of private practice doctors, lists more than 600 lawsuits against ER doctors nationwide between 2006-08. That’s about 3 percent of their clients. Statistics vary by region, and chances of being sued generally are greater for several other specialties, including obstetricians, surgeons and internists. Still, the risk for a malpractice suit remains high in the ER because of the unique setting. In a busy emergency room, “when all hell is breaking loose, not a lot of doctors feel they can take the time to sit down with the patient” and build rapport, said Texas family physician Dr. Howard Brody, an outspoken critic of excessive medical care. The result can be extra costs, and potential harm — including side effects from unneeded drugs and increased chances for future cancer from excessive radiation. No one tells patients after a CT scan that the test “just imparted three years of radiation to your body as well as significant stress on your kidney, and Medicare just got charged lots of money,” Kline said. Gardner, who works in a Dallas emergency room, said she tries to talk patients out of tests she thinks they don’t need, but usually without success. There are more than 116 million ER visits each year nationwide, national data suggest, and research suggests the number of visits is rising. The most common reasons adults go to emergency departments are abdominal or chest pain. Both can mean something harmless, or deadly.
To determine which it is, ER doctors turn to X-rays, CT scans and other imaging tests. In 2006, these were done for almost half of all emergency visits; blood tests were ordered for more than a third of ER visits; medicine, including antibiotics, was given to 75 percent of patients. One of doctors’ biggest concerns with belly pain is appendicitis, and CT scans can confirm it. But the scans often are done in patients without classic symptoms. Patients with suspicious abdominal pain used to go straight into the operating room, where surgeons opened them up to find appendicitis — or rule it out. Dr. Angela Mills of the University of Pennsylvania said CT scans have reduced unnecessary surgeries, “but I think the pendulum has gone to the other side.” The trade-off is fewer surgeries and hospitalizations versus a test that costs several hundred dollars but which involves lots of radiation. Mills is studying a blood test that would detect a marker for appendix inflammation, which might avoid the need for CT scans, and would be safer and cheaper, too. On a recent day at Cook County’s Stroger Hospital in Chicago, 50-year-old Teri Moore sought treatment for abdominal pain. A smoker with a hacking cough, the thin, auburn-haired woman had persistent vomiting and hadn’t eaten in three days. Moore’s symptoms suggested a stomach ulcer or inflammation, not appendicitis. Several blood tests were ordered, to check for anemia and liver function, among other things, said Dr. Jeffrey Schaider. He performed a bedside abdominal ultrasound, looking for gallstones.
Investors turn focus to corporate profits NEW YORK (AP) — Will corporate profits save the stock rally — or kill it? Most companies won’t announce second-quarter earnings for a few weeks yet. But already Wall Street is buzzing about what might lie ahead. One worry: With investors on edge from bad economic news, the market is riding more than ever on these upcoming reports. “It’s too early to tell if growth is tapering off,” but people are concerned, said Mark Luschini, chief market strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott. “If companies disappoint, stocks could retrace their recent lows.” Stock analysts expect companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index to post $184 billion in profits in the second quarter, up 27 percent from the year-ago period, then continue to rocket higher. Under their bullish scenario, profits will peak next year. The Dow Jones industrial average closed at 10,450 Friday, capping two weeks of gains. But the Dow is still 7 percent off its high of April 26, and investors are jittery. On Wednesday, shares in FedEx Corp. fell sharply although the company reported profit last quarter that met analysts’ expectations. The problem was, the shipping company lowered its target
for earnings in the coming year. That followed a disappointing profit report from Best Buy Co. that sent the electronics retailer’s stock down 6 percent. The coming week offers clues as to whether the two reports are part of a trend. Among companies announcing earnings: drugstore chain Walgreen Co., software maker Adobe Systems Inc., Nike Inc., homebuilder Lennar Corp. and ConAgra Foods Inc. If recent history is any guide, analysts may be right to be bullish. Last quarter, corporate earnings rose 31 percent, the biggest increase since 1984. What’s more, those profits came from selling more goods, not just from cutting expenses. With people spending again, the recovery looked like it was gaining steam. The Commerce Department reported Wednesday that construction of homes and apartments slumped 10 percent in May from the month earlier. Adding to the gloom, mortgage applications for new homes have fallen 40 percent in the past five weeks, a 13-week low. To be sure, there’s been hopeful news, too. The Fed reported earlier this month that all 12 regions of the nation it tracks are growing, a first since 2007. But then came re-
ports that retail sales plunged in May. Worse, the government reported that private employers added a mere 41,000 workers to their payrolls last month. Anyone looking for hints in the coming week that things are perking up may be disappointed. The Federal Reserve meets to decide whether to keep benchmark interest rates near zero. But with the economy struggling, no one is expecting any big moves or statements. Reports on home sales, both previously owned and new, come out Tuesday and Wednesday. But aside from that and the Labor Department’s June jobs report, there’s a relative vacuum of data until profit reports next month. And that’s almost a relief. “We have Greece, we have BP — but you can’t anticipate these things,” said money manager George V. Reis of Two Rivers, Wisconsin, referring to Greece’s part in the European debt crisis and the Gulf oil spill. “You can estimate earnings.” “Everyone is hoping the next news will be earnings, and not some big, macro situation,” said Mike Shea, managing partner at Direct Access Partners LLC. Earnings are something we’re “comfortable with.”

SPILL FROM 1A
to keep its cut of TNK-BP’s multibillion-dollar profits. Managing Siberian energy fields and containing the 65 million- to 125 million-gallon Gulf slick aren’t quite comparable, though the situations do have parallels, said Amy Myers Jaffe, an energy studies fellow at Rice University’s public policy institute. Both involve a “complex situation involving multiple parties that might sue each other and multiple levels of government.” “I do think he did a good job in Russia, under the circumstances,” she said. Dudley also has shown a steady hand in his limited public appearances since the April 20 oil rig explosion that killed 11 workers and triggered the Gulf spill. He was the one tapped to make the rounds of the Sunday morning shows at the end of May when BP’s latest bid to stanch the flow fell short.
TORNADO FROM 1A
reported injury was from someone who got hit in the head by a hail stone. City officials were struggling to deal with power outages and flooding from the storm, which sent about 2 feet of water into many city streets. John Schilling said he saw the tornado approach as he was driving north on Main Street with his son. He had taken shelter under a carport at a motel because of the heavy hail and strong winds.
Hofmeister said Dudley has been involved in the Gulf oil spill recovery effort from the start, and he expects no changes in BP’s approach once he takes over. “I think this is just a natural step for him to be exclusively focused on this aftermath,” he said. President Barack Obama has said he would fire Hayward if he could, and many Gulf Coast residents have had their fill of him as well. Craig Bielkiewicz, a fisherman who’s unemployed as a result of the spill, said as long as BP foots the bill for the cleanup, it’s better that Hayward just stay away. “As long as he foots the bill and does what he says he’s going to do, then we don’t need him,” he said. “All we need is for him to back off and let us do what we need to do.” Tim Arnold, of U.K. media consultancy Arnold Strategy Ltd., said that the idea of throwing an American up for the sole purpose of placating a U.S. audience was “a very silly approach.”
After a few minutes, Schilling saw the twister envelop the Main Street Casino and a laundromat, then start to head south in his direction, hitting other businesses as it went. “Then the roof came flying off that print shop, so we kept going,” the 42-year-old said. “I wasn’t going to stick around.” The tornado also picked up the roof from the Fas-Break Auto Glass and dumped it into a nearby creek. At least 10 businesses along the street suffered some sort of damage. Fas-Break owner Kevin Massick and several members
of his family picked through the rubble of the shop, trying to salvage what they could. But there was little left. “I’m in a total daze,” Massick said, his face creased with emotion and tears welling up in his eyes. “It’s a total loss, I don’t know what I’m going to do. Start over, I guess.” Main Street was shut down in one direction several hours after the tornado struck as bulldozers cleared debris. The other direction was jammed with cars that slowly moved northbound as drivers and passengers gawked at the destruction.
New Agers, others at Stonehenge for solstice LONDON (AP) — New Agers and neo-pagans descended on Stonehenge to celebrate the summer solstice, each hoping to catch a glimpse of the sun as it rises above the ancient stone circle early Monday morning. The annual all-night party typically draws thousands of alternative-minded revelers to the prehistoric monument on Salisbury Plain as they wait for dawn at the Heel Stone, a pockmarked pillar just outside the circle proper which aligns with the rising sun. “It means a lot to us ... being British and following our pagan roots,” said Victoria Campbell, who sported a pair of white angel’s wings and had a mass of multicolored flowers in her hair. The 29-year-old Londoner, who works in the finance industry, also said that “getting away from the city” was a major draw. “We’re hoping for a clear night,” she said. Monday’s sunrise, marking the longest day of the year north of the equator, is scheduled to occur over the circle at 4:52 a.m. local time (0352GMT.)
The annual celebrations at Stonehenge, about 80 miles (130 kilometers) southwest of the capital, are a modern twist on solstice celebrations which were once a highlight of the pre-Christian calendar. They survive today largely in the form of bonfires, maypole dances and courtship rituals. Gina Pratt, a 43-year-old housewife and a self-described witch, said being inside the circle as the sun came up gave her “a kind of a grounding feeling (of) being in touch with the earth again, and the air we breathe.” Pratt, who wore a cape of crushed red velvet and wielded an amethyst-tipped wand, said the event gave rise to conflicting emotions. “It makes you feel small and insignificant ... but it makes you feel like you’re here for a reason,” she said. Stonehenge’s origins remain a mystery, but theories suggest the grounds were part of a huge astronomical calendar. Others say an ancient sun worshipping culture aligned the structure with the midsummer sunrise and the midwinter sunset. The site
was used as a cremation cemetery since its inception, archaeologists say, but it is unclear if that was its principal function. “The truthful answer is we don’t know exactly what it was for,” said Amanda Chadburn, an archaeologist with English Heritage, which manages the site. Whatever its origins, the construction of Stonehenge — built with massive stones drawn from up to 150 miles (240 kilometers) away — gives insight into an ancient culture, Chadburn said in an interview ahead of the solstice. The World Heritage site was built in three phases between 3000 B.C. and 1600 B.C. It is one of Britain’s most popular tourist attractions with more than 850,000 visitors a year. The solstice is one of the few times access is granted inside the stone circle, which has been roped off since 1978, following years of erosion and vandalism. Police were on hand to ensure the event remained peaceful. Online: Stonehenge: http://www. stonehenge.co.uk/

“We failed to wrestle this beast to the ground,” he said matter-of-factly. A week later, he struck a conciliatory note as he toured the Louisiana coast with Gov. Bobby Jindal, saying he was frustrated and saddened by what he saw. He was there to promise that BP would fund state efforts to build sand berms to protect barrier islands from the oil. “We understand the importance of this,” he said. “We are deeply sorry.” BP did not respond to a request from the Associated Press for an interview with Dudley. Industry insiders such as former Shell Oil president John Hofmeister have argued that BP from the start should have made an American the public face of its spill recovery efforts. “I’ve been saying for weeks that Tony Hayward ought to pass this over to his top American executive,” Hofmeister said Sunday. “He has completely competent people in the U.S. that can represent him in every instance.”

Plan early on how to finance college BY KARA MCGUIRE
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Like most parents, we want to help send our three young kids to college someday. But that big, fat number staring at me from my computer screen? Probably not going to happen. Nor can we count on incomebased financial aid. So what are families like us to do? First, estimate the cost. I tried college savings calculators available at dinkytown. net, savingforcollege.com and collegeboard.com, and while the answers weren’t identical, they all were close. We need to save roughly $1,500 per month to amass the princely sum it will take to pay most, but not all, of the price tag to send our progeny to college. With college-tuition increases consis-
tently outpacing inflation, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of finaid.org, suggests the following formula: Parents with babies born in 2009 should save $220 per month if they want to pay for one-third of a public, four-year college and $417 per month for a private school. “Like any life-cycle expense, college costs should be spread out over time,” he explained via e-mail. “I chose one-third savings because I figured one-third should come from past income (savings), one-third from current income and financial aid, and one-third from future income (loans). It also meshes well with collegetuition inflation, which increased by a factor of about three over any 17-year period.”

fairs. You can get back at your creditors by staying ahead of them. Manage your credit report by reading it regularly. (It’s free, but only if you get it from AnnualCreditReport .com.) If you don’t understand what it says, ask. If a creditor is punishing you for something on your credit report that is not true, don’t sit back passively. Get it fixed. Then confront your creditor. Don’t back off until the creditor reverses the action. • Pay off. Nothing benefits you more than bringing your balances to $0. It’s like getting a tax-free raise, because you get to keep all of that money you’ve been sending each month to your creditors. • Zero tolerance. Your creditors are not going to be thrilled with you and your zero balances. You are the source of their income. They will miss your money terribly. Get back at them by refusing ever to pay another penny in interest. If they’re charging annual fees, tell them bye-bye. Getting back at your creditors will bring you great satisfaction. An even greater payoff is the peace of mind you will enjoy. You’ll sleep well and get along better with the people who mean the most to you. It’s a proven fact that even your health will improve. Of all financial pressures, credit card debt causes the most deadly type of stress.

Late fees, punitive interest rates, over-limit fees, loading up your credit report with negative information — it’s enough to make you scream! It’s not that your creditors are doing anything illegal. You just didn’t understand the power you MARY gave them HUNT when you accepted those cards. It was buried in the fine print. Now it seems as if they’re staying up nights looking for new ways to stick it to you. If you’ve had enough, maybe it’s time for you to turn the tables and get back at them. • Pay early. Nearly 30 percent of a credit card company’s profits are derived from fees, e.g., annual fees, late fees and over-limit fees. You’d think they would be pretty satisfied with all that interest you send them each month. But no. They want more. Get back at your credit card companies by making a decision right now never to pay another late fee. Be quick with each payment. Send it in the preprinted envelope that came with your statement. Don’t enclose a note, use a paper clip, decorate with stickers or do anything that would pull it out of the fast track and into manual processing. • Open eyes. All of your creditors know what’s in your credit report. They read it regularly. You should, too. Part of your agreement with them is that they can check up on you whenever they want to see how you are handling your financial af-

Dear Amy: I have been teaching high school for 16 years. I have always liked teens and feel they usually get a bad rap. I have always loved teaching.

AMY If I have to discipline a student for something, I have a nasty e-mail from a parent within 15 minutes after the student has texted his or her parents. It is easy to tell the teacher off and never hear his or her side of the issue. It’s easy to belittle the teacher and accuse the teacher because the parents never have to come face to face with the teacher. Not every parent acts this way; the ones who still teach their children to have respect don’t act this way, but those are the kids who usually have no discipline issues. I have parents bully me about grades, my assignments and classroom rules — all through e-mail. I even had one parent tell me that I was teaching the assignment wrong.

General Motors hopes new Cruze controls small car market Cruze production starts, GM engineers were candid with a reporter about past compacts, saying they were mediocre because GM put controlling costs before all else. As a result, GM missed the smallcar boom last decade. Compacts and subcompacts grew from 21 percent of the U.S. market five years ago to 33 percent now. J.D. Power & Associates predicts that will rise to 35 percent by 2013. And small cars are even bigger overseas. Yet GM drew only 8 percent of its U.S. sales from small cars last year, compared with more than 20 percent for Toyota and Honda. When the Cobalt was in development in the early 2000s, GM set out just to make it competitive, not a market leader, said Wayne McConnell, a GM engineer in charge of vehicle performance. Ambitious sales targets and plans to attract new buyers were changed after cost estimates were tallied. Customers noticed, bypassing Chevrolet for Corollas and Civics. Yet engineers say the new GM leadership has figured out that there’s only a small cost difference between mediocre and great. Now they can spend a little more to make a car better, as long as they work with parts companies to control costs. The new management, they said, has learned from recent new models that people will pay a little more for quality. In the past, the early-generation Cruze might have made it to showrooms, but it was held up last fall by managers unhappy with its performance. Production was delayed from April to August. Mark Reuss, GM’s North American president and former head of engineering, said the six-speed automatic transmission constantly shifted. The tires were noisy, and there was a troubling lag between when the driver stepped on the gas and when the 1.4-liter engine’s turbocharger kicked in. The transmission was redone, the turbo fixed and noises quelled.
Reuss now calls the engine and transmission “brilliant,” balancing trade-offs between fuel economy and performance. An Cruze Eco version is expected to get 40 mpg on the highway. Convincing drivers may be difficult, though. When Cassidi Brickner, 31, of Winter Park, Colo., started shopping to replace her aging Honda Civic in the spring, she never considered the Cobalt. “The exterior appearance seemed like a basic car that didn’t catch my attention,” she said. Brickner checked out Chevrolet’s small crossover, the Equinox, but decided the interior looked too cheap. She picked a Mazda3 compact because of interior ASSOCIATED PRESS looks and performance.

A new wildfire burns at Shultz Pass between the San Francisco Peaks and Mount Elden, in Flagstaff, Ariz. Kimberly Ott said. Nicholson, whose hometown was not immediately available, was being held on a $2,500 bond at the Coconino County jail. It was unknown if he had an attorney. Authorities said the Hardy fire started in a wooded area a couple of miles from downtown after Nicholson built a small campfire for either cooking or making coffee. Investigators believe he dumped coals from the fire on the ground before leaving the site. “As far as we understand, this was not a deliberate act. It was a careless act,” Ott said. The fire quickly spread up a hill and threatened homes in two neighborhoods. Crews worked overnight and Sunday to protect structures and establish a perimeter around the blaze. But Coconino County spokeswoman Joanne Keene said fire officials have not declared any part of the fire contained. “The winds are expected to pick up, and the latest I’ve heard is about 30 mph so we’re concerned about that,”
she said. Evacuation orders for 170 homes remained in place, and a park and popular bike trail were closed as a precaution, Keene said. The Little America Hotel also was briefly evacuated. The Hardy fire also sent smoke through parts of Flagstaff and caused traffic to back up on Interstate 40. Authorities said no homes or buildings had been burned. Heavy tankers and three aircraft were on standby in case ground crews needed help. Fires also had crews busy Sunday near Williams, Ariz., and in Colorado and New Mexico. High winds and rugged terrain kept ground crews and aircraft from getting close to a wildfire in southern Colorado’s Great Sand Dunes National Park. The fire grew to 4,500 acres. In New Mexico, crews were making progress on the South Fork fire, which had charred more than 11,150 acres in steep, inaccessible terrain in the Jemez Mountains.
2 killed in Calif. restaurant shooting identified LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities on Sunday identified the two people killed when a man walked into a Southern California fast food restaurant with two handguns and opened fire on his stepdaughter’s family. Alex Trujillo, 33, and his son Adrian, 6, were killed when Jimmy Schlager entered a Del Taco in San Bernardino and opened fire Saturday afternoon, the San Bernardino County SheriffCoroner Department said in a statement. Trujillo’s wife, 29, and the couple’s other child, a 5-yearold boy, were also injured in the shooting. They were be-

ing treated at Loma Linda University Medical Center, where a spokesman said he couldn’t immediately confirm their condition. The 56-year-old Schlager shot himself at the restaurant and died at an area hospital. Authorities have said Alex Trujillo’s wife was Schlager’s stepdaughter. Investigators have been looking into their relationship to determine a motive for the shooting. The woman’s mother was married to Schlager and died several years ago. Schlager, who is from Lancaster in northern Los Ange-
les County, had an extensive criminal record dating back to 1972 that included assault with a deadly weapon and a restraining order taken out by a co-worker. Police said between five and seven employees and several other customers were in restaurant, but the gunman singled out the four victims in the shooting, leaving bullet holes and broken glass inside. Officials said the attack on the family was one of the worst recent crime scenes in San Bernardino, a city of about 200,000 people about 60 miles east of Los Angeles.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — A thick plume of smoke blotted out the blue sky north of Flagstaff on Sunday afternoon as a second wildfire moved through the area, forcing the evacuation of additional homes and an animal shelter. Coconino County authorities said residents of the Timberline Estates, Wupatki Trails and Fernwood neighborhoods were being asked to leave their homes. Authorities couldn’t immediately say how many people were affected. The Second Chance Animal Shelter also was being evacuated. About 170 homes already were evacuated Sunday because of the 350-acre Hardy wildfire on the southeastern side of Flagstaff, which started Saturday. The second blaze was spotted Sunday on the north end of Shultz Pass. Coconino National Forest spokeswoman Karen Malis-Clark said the fire was torching treetops and sending up a “pretty impressive towering column of smoke.” Hot shot crews, helicopters and air tankers were fighting the flames. A shelter that had been set up by the American Red Cross at a Flagstaff middle school for residents displaced by the Hardy fire also was being used for evacuees from the Shultz fire. Fire officials did not know what sparked the second blaze. But a California man was arrested Sunday on suspicion of starting the Hardy fire by leaving behind hot coals at a campsite just outside the city. Randall Wayne Nicholson, 54, was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of burning of a wildland, city spokeswoman

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — General Motors thinks it can finally sell a good small car. The company, which has a past littered with compact wrecks like the unsafe Corvair and rusty Vega, will roll out the Chevrolet Cruze in September — betting it can attract younger drivers and succeed in the most competitive segment of the worldwide auto market. GM owners may know that “nothing works like a Chevy truck,” but the little Cruze is a big gamble. “They can’t afford to get it wrong,” said Michael Robinet, an automotive analyst with CSM Worldwide in Michigan. The Cruze follows another GM small-car flop, the Chevy Cobalt, which failed because it looks dated, is noisy, has a chintzy hard-plastic interior and doesn’t perform as well as competitors. Americans bought just 105,000 last year, compared with about three times as many Toyota Corollas. GM must also overcome history. Dating to the Corvair in the 1960s, its executives viewed small cars as money-losers because of low prices, high U.S. labor costs and American drivers’ hunger for cheap gas and larger vehicles. “They really haven’t spent any time or money on these vehicles,” said David Champion, senior director of Consumer Reports’ auto testing department. The Cobalt, introduced in 2004, “came out trying to be competitive in that market but always languished behind.” That has to change if the Cruze is to help save GM. Champion said the car must be as reliable as the Corolla or Honda Civic, the top-selling U.S. compacts. But dependability has been a problem. Consumer Reports gave its coveted Recommended Buy rating to only seven of 30 GM models in its April issue, mainly because of spotty reliability. No GM small cars got the label.

If you answered yes to most of these questions, then contact the Good Neighbors of Rowan County. We’ve been fighting the state legislature for more than two years to have this law changed. I want to thank most of our county commissioners, as they have been a great help along with our local state representatives. Democratic state senators have made this a party fight against Republicans. But this is a fight against an unjust law that allows cities to balance their budgets through annexation. Cities are allowed to annex people who do not have a vote or a say in the process. This should be a fight for human rights. Allowing cities to balance their budgets on the
back of citizens who don’t live in the city is an example of how state and federal legislators are out of touch with citizens. The so-called leaders of our country ask citizens to do what they can’t.

The cancer treatments are past, and his yard is the beneficiary. Well, anyone who passes, also. I have introduced you to Codney Killick BILL before. He’s my WILLIAMS brother. His name is Marcelle, but he gave himself that other moniker when he was a little boy, oh, eight or 10. He came home from “up street” one day and purged himself of all the gossip he had heard. That was the procedure in our large family in that little town of Faith, circa early ’30s. Tell it all. Let it all hang out. At the dinner table. So, this was his announce-
ment: “Somebody said today that Shuf Lippard has the codney killick. What he heard went in right and came out wrong. Shuf Lippard had the kidney collick. And so it was that the next day when Pop and his cronies were philosophizing in their usual summertime circle, it was a sure bet that he would tell about his son’s dinner-time word jumble. And so Marcelle had a nickname that would follow him to his grave. Anyhow, there was ol’ Codney Killick getting up and grinning like he had just kicked the milking stool from under me when we were boys and Beauty the cow was wondering what all the ruckus was about. Now, it was my turn. There was more than Codney Killick. It seemed that half of Faith was tumbling from their hiding places. Along with friends from Lake Lure, also the locals by the dozens. It was a scene my mind could not accurately compute. Beverly at the Covenant Vil-

Five minutes later, Betty and I walked back into the dream. Except, this was real, and there was Codney and all those other people. All of them grinning like cats do in the middle of mouse fantasies. That’s what happens when your wife conspires with the only daughter living within shouting distance, and the two of them make it possible for you to enjoy 60 Christmas mornings, all tightly wrapped and ribboned, and all very meaningful.

China Grove citizens are ‘washed out’ For many years, China Grove citizens have been given multiple excuses for our water/sewer rates being higher than surrounding cities. The main reason being that China Grove contracted with Salisbury seven years ago to pay for more water than the city has been using. This contract is not the fault of the citizens, and even some board members have publicly stated that it is unfair to be paying for water not used and has been a main contributing factor in water funds falling short in the past several years. Yet now, some of these same board members are proposing to force some citizens to do the same exact thing; pay for water they will not be using! The decision of the China Grove Board to bill minimum usage of 2000 gallons is extremely unfair. Water is a consumable good; therefore if citizens are not consuming it, they should not be expected to pay for it. People falling into the minimum usage category are typically one-person households already having difficulty making ends meet. How in good conscience can the board members add to this burden? Why even hold a public hearing if they are unwilling to hear and consider the opinion of the public before making a final decision about our money and livelihood? I stood before the board in June 2009, listening to an explanation of how the addition of a $10 per account “service” fee should help avoid any rate increases for some time. Not only was that fee implemented July 1, 2009, but a 5.5 percent rate increase as well. A year passed, and I found myself standing before them again June 15, 2010, addressing the same issue. How many more years should China Grove citizens be expected to wait on a resolution to this water issue? — Donna Lea Moss

he May 22 article “Petition filed against Riverkeeper” featured non-factual accusations that were nothing more than Alcoa propaganda trying to divert public attention away from the most important issue ever facing the Yadkin River. Here is the truth: The reality is Alcoa and High Rock Lake Association President Larry Jones are under investigation by John Lynch, a special agent with the N.C. Secretary of State’s Office lobbying compliance division because of land conveyed to Mr. Jones by Alcoa while lobbying on the company’s behalf. However, the more important issue is the growing opposition to Alcoa’s exclusive monopoly to control of our public waters for another 50 years and the toxic legacy the company intends to leave for our children. The reality is Alcoa signed a 50-year agreement with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) indicating the Yadkin Hydroelectric Project could be “recaptured at the end of the license term” and that Alcoa should “not rely on any assured source of power supply after the expiration of its license for the Yadkin Project.” Yet Alcoa continues to misinform the public about the dams they agreed to relinquish 50 years ago. The reality is that Alcoa is a global polluter and Alcoa’s PCBs are in Badin Lake. Renowned water quality expert Dr. John Rogers 2009 report linked PCBs in Badin Lake to Alcoa’s old aluminum smelter, despite Alcoa’s repeated denials. Alcoa has no plans to clean up potentially cancer-causing Dean Naujoks PCBs that have poisoned has served as Yad- the water, fish and people kin riverkeeper in surrounding communisince the fall of ties. According to State re2008. ports, there is “significant contamination” at Alcoa’s numerous hazardous waste sites. PCB contamination and numerous pollution issues have been well documented at more than 20 Alcoa sites throughout the world. (For a map of these sites, see http://www.yadkinriverkeeper.org/alcoapollutionworldwide.) The reality is Alcoa has appealed the state’s fish consumption advisory, and even stalled efforts to post signs alerting the public about eating potentially cancer-causing fish. Additionally, Alcoa recently petitioned FERC (twice) to dismiss the State-issued 401 Water Quality Certification and Clean Water Act requirements needed to obtain the 50-year license. Thankfully, FERC denied Alcoa’s requests, but Alcoa’s claims of being a good environmental steward are absurd. Alcoa feels Clean Water Act requirements that have protected our nation’s waters for almost 40 years should not apply to them. Alcoa has also legally challenged the terms of the state-issued 401 Water Quality Certification (which they requested) in an attempt to thwart efforts by the state to address water pollution issues linked to the project. The dams Alcoa leaders built for their own exclusive purpose to generate billions in profits for their aluminum smelter have caused significant pollution problems in High Rock Lake and along the entire 38-mile section of river. Pollution cleanup of High Rock Lake will likely exceed $500 million to address. The Jordan Lake rules, which passed in the 2009 legislative session to address pollution in Jordan Lake, will cost upstream municipalities an estimated $300 million, upwards to $1 billion. Alcoa had the ability to address these issues in the Relicensing Settlement Agreement but chose instead to pass the cost of cleanup off to everyone else in the river basin. The reality is Alcoa has enjoyed 90 years of pollution-based prosperity and sells locally produced hydropower — generating $44 million annually — outside the state rather than to our citizens. Under the Federal Power Act, FERC must determine what is in the best public interest and that the waters of America’s rivers should not be held by private interests for private gain. Yadkin Riverkeeper’s mission is work to ensure clean drinking water in the Yadkin River for future generations. Yadkin Riverkeeper would not be serving the Yadkin River if we did not lobby for legislation that will potentially invest millions for Yadkin River water quality improvements as well as require Alcoa to clean up their toxic mess. We have registered to lobby, like numerous other 501(c)(3) organizations, for the purpose of transparency and to demonstrate we are complying with the law. North Carolina citizens should join Gov. Perdue, Sens. Richard Burr and Kay Hagan and all our N.C. congressional members to oppose Alcoa’s 50-year relicensing effort because it is clear Alcoa’s monopoly on the Yadkin River no longer provides a public benefit. Supporting a law-breaking corporate polluter like Alcoa, who has poisoned our citizens and exported jobs overseas while in partnership with the Chinese government, is simply un-American!

‘UN’ of faith groups set roles in disaster relief Southern Baptists, Mennonites among active groups RALEIGH (AP) — For every hurricane, earthquake or flood, there is help: food, bottled water, crews of volunteers nailing shingles to brand new roofs. What even grateful recipients of that aid may not realize is that much of it comes from an unlikely hodgepodge of religious groups who put aside their doctrinal differences and coordinate their efforts as soon as the wind starts blowing. Southern Baptists cook meals from Texas to Massachusetts. Seventh-day Adventists dispense aid from makeshift warehouses that can be running within eight hours. Mennonites haul away debris, Buddhists provide financial aid and chaplains with the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team counsel the traumatized and grieving. This “juice and cookies fellowship,” as one organizer calls it, is mostly invisible to the public, but it provides interfaith infrastructure for disaster response around the country that state and federal officials could scarcely live without. “Think of us as the United Nations of disaster relief,” said Diana Rothe-Smith, executive director of National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster, the main umbrella group for coordinating emergency response from private agencies. Although “Vo-ad,” as it’s usually called, includes groups with no religious affiliation, the bulk of its 50 or so members are relief arms of churches and other faithbased organizations. The organization, which formed in 1970, has grown from seven

The national group, which also works through state-level versions of the coalition, provides essential on-theground knowledge that government responders don’t have time to develop on their own, Fugate said. Southern Baptist Disaster Relief, for instance, is famous for its ability to prepare tens of thousands of hot meals at disasters from Hurricane Ike to flooding in New England. The North Carolina Baptist Men, for example, have three food trailers that can serve a combined 75,000 meals a day. “The Red Cross distributes
the meals, but it’s Southern Baptists doing the cooking,” said Lin Honeycutt, a volunteer with the North Carolina group for more than 20 years. The denomination apparently developed its affinity for mass meals after a hurricane hit Texas in the early 1960s, but the vast group — there are more than 10,000 Southern Baptist disaster volunteers in North Carolina alone — can do everything from dispensing supplies to cleaning out inches of mud in flooded basements. Deciding who does what has been a delicate process of building confidence in the capacity of groups as different as Jews and Scientologists, according to Bill Adams, director of Disaster Response Services for the Christian Reformed World Relief Committee and a former NVOAD president. “Just getting all those people at the same table is a miracle, when you think about it,” Adams said. The groups’ specialties have developed gradually in
Couple renovates camp into rental retreat BAT CAVE (AP) — A couple have turned their love of an old summer camp in western North Carolina into a private vacation rental property. The Asheville Citizen Times reported Sunday that Darren and Cheryl Blum spent five years renovating the former Camp Mishemokwa and have turned it into a property that large family groups or businesses can rent out for retreats and seminars. A weeklong stay on the 150-acre property costs between $5,000 and $10,000. There is a lodge that can sleep 24 people and a main house that can accommodate 18. The old camp’s bunkhouses are still around as is the gym. There also is a heated swimming pool and a whirlpool. Other amenities include a water slide, athletic field, hiking trails, tennis court and a mess hall that has been turned into a game room.
Coast Guard to block travel during bridge work FORT MACON (AP) — The Coast Guard will restrict access to the Intracoastal Waterway while workers repair a North Carolina bridge. A safety zone was established Sunday evening until today as workers repair a truss on the State Road 50 Swing Bridge near Surf City.
The temporary safety zone will encompass a 100-yard radius on the water directly under the bridge. Mariners will not be allowed to travel in the channel while maintenance equipment is obstructing the waterway. The Coast Guard said boaters should minimize wake while traveling in the area.
This sand’s not your sand; this sand is my sand MANTOLOKING, N.J. (AP) — Battles over who has the right to stand on the sand have raged for decades in New Jersey and other coastal states, and some have treated the beach as the private sandbox of the privileged few. Now New Jersey is rewriting its beach access rules to give some flexibility to local governments and private property owners who say the state’s rules were too tough. The new policy lets each town decide what is reasonable public access for its beaches, although the state Department of Environmental Protection will have the final say. Some beach-goers fear that progress made in establishing the public’s right to use the beaches could be rolled back by local governments and homeowners who want to further limit who gets to stand on the sand.

the course of responding to specific disasters. Adventists, for example, really began ramping up their warehousing expertise after Hurricane Andrew in 1992, according to Steve Stillwell, assistant to the Director for Adventist Community Services Disaster Response for the Carolina Conference. “There were literally football fields 6-feet-deep of donated clothes and items that nobody could use, that ended up going to the landfill,” he
said. “Andrew was the biggest waste of resources. We directed our skills and training to the better utilization of donated resources, and we’ve been refining it ever since.” Theology may not play a role in how the specialties develop, but it can present a thorny question for religious believers who don’t agree on much beyond the need to help victims of disasters. “There may be separation of church and state in government, but in a disaster we all work together,” Fugate said. Nevertheless, religious volunteers are sensitive to accusations of proselytizing to vulnerable, desperate people. After Haiti was devastated in January by an earthquake, Hollywood star John Travolta was criticized for bringing counselors from the Church of Scientology, to which he belongs, along with supplies to the island nation. In a bid to address concerns, NVOAD’s membership last year ratified a set of 10 principles for spiritual care, including the admonition that “Disaster response will not be used to further a particular political or religious perspective or cause.” “We feel we can be who we are and believe ultimately Christ is the answer, but to do it with respect has been our legacy,” said Jack Munday, director of the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team, which has more than 3,200 trained chaplains and crisis volun-
teers. The delicate compromises and organizational development may be important, but for the people who benefit from the groups’ service, the result is all that matters. Moses Jones, 54, had to evacuate his home in Lake Charles, La., along with his parents, children and sister when Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005. When they returned a month later, the house that had seen three generations of his family was uninhabitable. “The wind blew off the the siding, the shingles,” he said. “I couldn’t live there.” Eight teams of volunteers from the Christian Reformed World Relief Committee arrived shortly after, and today Jones said his house is in better shape than it was before Katrina. The particular denominations of his volunteers means little to him compared to the work they did. “It was like angels came to help me,” he said. “I’m Yahweh-blessed, godly blessed. I really feel that way.” Online: NVOAD: http://www. nvoad.org/ Adventist Community Services: http://www.communityservices.org/ Billy Graham Rapid Response Team: http://www.billygraham.org/rrt(underscore)index.asp Christian Reformed World Relief Committee: http://www.crwrc.org/pages/c rwrc.cfm

A Sea Turtle Story Chapter One Pancake It was a beautiful summer day. Pancake swam peacefully in the big blue ocean. The sea turtle glided gracefully through the water. Pancake was a female loggerhead turtle. (Loggerheads are called that because of their big heads!) She was a beautiful yellow and reddish-brown color. Like most sea turtles, Pancake was a solitary creature. She spent her days alone, happily swimming underwater and looking for food. Pancake mostly hunted for crabs, clams and mussels. She would dive down to the bottom of the ocean to find the tasty shellfish. Although Pancake spent most of her time submerged underwater, she had to come to the surface to breathe. Pancake rose to the surface to take a breath. Unknown to the turtle, a boat was very close to her. It was speeding through the waves. The people in the boat were having fun and talking. The driver was chatting with one of his friends behind him. He didn’t see the turtle come up for air. Suddenly, the boat hit the loggerhead turtle. Pancake was hurt! Her shell had been cut by the boat’s propeller. The people in the boat never even saw the turtle. They sped away, unaware of what they had done. Poor Pancake was all alone with no help in sight! The sea turtle was badly injured. Pancake’s injuries made her weak. It was getting harder and harder to swim. The tide was carrying her closer and closer to shore. Pancake couldn’t swim against the strong tide. She was too exhausted and weak.
observed. “It looks like it’s in trouble!” Another man heard them and came over. He had some binoculars. “It’s a sea turtle, all right,” the man agreed, looking through the binoculars at Pancake. “I think it’s sick or hurt. Either way, it is in trouble.” “We have to get help!” the mom said. She ran back to their beach cottage to call for assistance. “Hang on, turtle!” the little girl cried. Once there, the boy’s mom wasn’t sure whom to call. She knew that there were organizations that helped sea turtles, but she wasn’t sure how they were listed. She couldn’t waste any time—the poor turtle needed help right away. She decided to call the local police department. “I called the police,” she said, returning. “They’re sending rescuers right away.” Soon a crowd gathered on the beach. The kind people were all concerned about the sea turtle. They shouted words of encouragement to
her. They anxiously waited for help to arrive. Pancake was getting swept closer to shore. The surf was stronger the closer in she came. Pancake was almost too exhausted to swim. She was in real danger of drowning or being stranded on the beach. Valiantly, the brave sea turtle struggled, swimming with all her might. It was apparent to the concerned onlookers that the sea turtle was tiring out fast. It looked as though she could barely swim. She was getting tossed around even more by the waves. The rescuers were on their way. But would they make it in time to save Pancake? Next Time… The Rescue Illustrated By Vicki Wallace Copyright 2001 by Mary Maden. All rights reserved.

For days, poor Pancake was trapped in the rough surf. She battled against the tide, but it was sweeping her closer and closer to shore. Desperately, the sea turtle struggled in the waves, but she was getting very tired. Things were looking very bad for Pancake! As the hurt turtle struggled, people were enjoying their day at the beach. Everyone was busy swimming, surfing and sunbathing. No one noticed the poor sea turtle being tossed around in the surf. Pancake was getting more tired by the minute! A mom, dad and their two children were having fun swimming and playing at the beach. The boy and his younger sister were boogey-boarding in the waves. The boy paddled out through the surf, then rode the waves back to shore. His little sister stayed closer to the beach, floating on her boogey-board. The boy paddled out a little farther. He watched the waves to pick just the right one. Suddenly, he spotted something in the surf. The young boy wasn’t sure what it was. He could see something moving in and out of the waves. The boy caught the next wave and rode his board in. He called to his dad. “Dad, come here!” The boy dragged the boogey-board out of the water and stood on the beach. He stared out at the ocean. “What is it, son?” his father asked. “I don’t know,” the boy replied, “I saw something strange in the water. It looks like some kind of marine animal, but it was just bobbing around in the surf. What do you think it is?” Immediately, his mom and sister joined them. They all looked out across the waves. “I think it’s a sea turtle,” the mom

Little drama as McDowell captures title BY DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Graeme McDowell reacts on the 18th green after making a short putt that clinched a first-place finish at the U.S. Open.
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Graeme McDowell doesn’t have the golfing pedigree of a U.S. Open champion at Pebble Beach. All he had Sunday was the game it takes to win. Even as the biggest stars — Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els — were lined up behind him on the leaderboard and poised to contribute to the lineage of champions on this majestic course, McDowell never felt out of place. Despite making only one birdie in the final round, the 30-year-old from Northern Ireland was steady amid the stars of his generation and closed with a 3-over 74 to become the first European in 40 years to capture America’s national championship. He seized control after a shocking collapse by Dustin Johnson, then failed to get flustered by the three stars behind him. All he had to do on the final hole was two-putt for par from 20 feet to join a distinguished list. “To win at Pebble Beach, to join the names — Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Tom Kite, Tiger Woods, me — wow!” McDowell said. “I’m not quite sure if I belong in that list, but hey, I’m there now. It’s a pretty amazing feeling.”

LANDIS — South Rowan’s Maverick Miles celebratSouth 10 ed his birthday with Kannapolis 0 three hits. Miles blew out 18 candles, and he and his teammates blew out Kannapolis 10-0 in seven innings on Sunday. It was a revenge win for South, which had been manhandled 72 hours earlier by Kannapolis pitcher John J. Tuttle. The relatively easy victory kept MILES South (14-2, 9-1) in first place in the Southern Division of Area III. Sizzling Randy Shepherd knocked in three more runs for South, and Tyler Freeze put the finishing touch-
es on the romp with a two-run double. “We were ready for this one and we had something to prove,” Freeze said. “That game at Kannapolis wasn’t really us. This is the way we’re supposed to play. It’s how we should’ve played down there.” South right-hander Weston Smith, a rising junior at FREEZE Northwest Cabarrus, was pitching against some high school teammates, but he showed no mercy. “Weston threw well and all our hitters let him get ahead with his breaking ball,” Kannapolis coach Matt Stack said. “Once you do that, a kid starts believing in his fastball even more.”

Eight straight for Rowan BY JORDAN HONEYCUTT sports@salisburypost.com
The new and improved Rowan County American Rowan 10 Legion machine Surry 2 just keeps rolling. A 10-2 victory against Surry County on Sunday can mostly be attributed to composed pitching from starter Bradley Robbins and reliever Dakota Brown. The big bats showed up, as usual, but pitching is the key ingredient that had at times been missing.
Sunday’s mound performances had to bring a smile to the face of Rowan coach Jim Gantt. Robbins went 42⁄3 innings, allowing only two runs and four hits, ROBBINS while striking out five and walking one. “I just tried to locate my fastball on the corners and get some groundballs, and tonight I did that,” he said.

Score E +1 +2 +3 +3
Almost as surprising was the guy who gave McDowell the most trouble. Gregory Havret, a Frenchman who is No. 391 in the world, played with heart but failed to convert a few late putts. He shot 72 and finished one shot behind. “When you have Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els there, you’re not expecting Gregory Havret to be the guy you’ve got to fend off,” McDowell said. Indeed, it was a final round no one expected. Johnson took a triple bogey on the second hole to lose all of his three-shot lead, and a double bogey on the next hole ended his hopes. Not only was McDowell handed the lead, but Woods, Mickelson and Els were given new life.

Marcus Ambrose’s bad luck benefited Jimmie Johnson.
Johnson capitalizes BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press
SONOMA, Calif. — Marcos Ambrose had his first career Sprint Cup Series victory in sight when a late caution threw a roadblock into his path. Then his own bizarre gaffe cost him the win. Ambrose stalled his engine while trying to conserve gas late in Sunday’s race at Infineon Raceway, where his car came to a stop while leading with six laps remaining. He restarted and tried to reclaim his position at the front of the field, but NASCAR ordered him back to seventh place and Jimmie Johnson inherited the lead. Johnson then cruised to his first career road course win, and Ambrose had to settle for a disappointing sixthplace finish. “My bad,” the Australian said. “I’m disappointed. It’s NASCAR’s house and I’ll always play by the rules. I don’t agree with it, I don’t like it and that’s only because I lost
the race because of it. “I had the motor turned off trying to save a bit of fuel and just had trouble getting it fired again. That’s it.” It was yet another cruel defeat for Ambrose, a roadracing ace who has fallen short of victory several times in NASCAR because of various reasons. He was spun by Robby Gordon while leading the Nationwide Series race at Montreal in 2007 and last year was passed by Carl Edwards in the final turn at the same track. Although he has two career Nationwide wins on the road course at Watkins Glen, he’s winless in the Cup Series despite three top-three finishes in five career road course races. “I feel bad for him,” Johnson said. “It was definitely a gift kind of handed to us.” Johnson won for the fourth time this year but first since Bristol in March — a 10-race drought that had many wondering why he was “slumping.”

Gamecocks fall to Oklahoma OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Sunny Golloway was plumb tuckered out Sunday night, and he wasn’t even one of the Oklahoma 4 guys playing. After two S. Carolina 3 rain delays totaling more than six hours, the Oklahoma coach watched Jeremy Erben and Ryan Duke worked out of bases-loaded situations in the eighth and ninth innings to hold off South Carolina 4-3 in the College World Series on Sunday night. “That was not an easy day,” Golloway said. “I kept looking at my watch during the delay and thinking we left the hotel at 10 o’clock, and we were at the 10-hour mark at one point. It’s a good thing the student-athletes were performing. I don’t know that my body would have allowed it after that long of a delay.” Caleb Bushyhead homered and drove in the go-ahead run, and Garrett Buechele hit a deep drive to left in the eighth to give the Sooners a two-run cushion that allowed Duke to survive a bases-loaded walk to Gamecocks’ slugger Jackie Bradley in the ninth. When Duke got Adrian Morales to fly out to end the game, he had his 12th save of the season and school record-tying 28th of his career. South Carolina coach Ray Tanner said both teams handled the challenge of the stop-and-start game. “It’s just part of baseball. You have rain delays, and that was a tough one,” Tanner said. “But it was the same for both teams. And we came out fighting to the end.” The Clemson-Arizona State game was postponed until Monday morning. Oklahoma (50-16) will play the Clemson-Arizona State winner on Tuesday night, with South Carolina (48-16) meeting the loser of that game Tuesday afternoon.

South Carolina right fielder Whit Merrifield, who starred at Davie, goes back to the wall in pursuit of an Oklahoma homer. The start of Sunday’s game was delayed 4 hours, 15 minutes, and play was halted for an additional 2:01 by rain and lightning in the middle of the sixth inning. “Our team is so mentally tough, and we knew we would continue the game no matter what,” Buechele said. “We went into the locker room, goofed around, told stories and didn’t get too bogged down about how it’s raining our first day here in Omaha.” Bushyhead homered to break a 1-1 tie in the second, and he singled into the right-field corner to make it 3-2 in the fourth before Buechele slugged his team-leading 17th homer to deep left off submarine-style reliever Jose Mata.
South Carolina was within a run in the ninth after Duke walked Bradley on four pitches with the bases loaded. Considering Bradley, batting .371, had homered earlier in the game and is on a 17-game hitting streak, the walk wasn’t such a bad thing. “It wasn’t a deal where we wanted to say we’re going to pitch around him,” Golloway said, “but I wasn’t disappointed to give him a base on balls.” Sooners starter Michael Rocha (8-2) went six innings and gave up solo homers to Christian Walker and Bradley. Erben came on after the second rain delay. South Carolina starter Blake Cooper (12-2), eight days after his pitching hand was hit as he shielded himself from a foul ball, was sharp for five innings but left with his team behind 3-2 when the second rain delay came. Cooper allowed three runs on six hits and a walk, and he struck out five. “My hand didn’t affect me,” Cooper said. “It feels fine. I made some good pitches and they hit some good pitches.” Arizona State-Clemson OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The first-round College World Series game between Arizona State and Clemson has been postponed until Monday at 11 a.m. because of rain. Arizona State-Clemson, originally set for Sunday night, will be followed by regularly scheduled games between Florida and Florida State at 4:30 p.m. and TCU and UCLA at 9 p.m. Rain delayed the start of the South Carolina-Oklahoma game 4 hours, 15 minutes on Sunday, and play was halted in the middle of the sixth inning because of rain and lightning with the Sooners leading 3-2. NCAA officials said they planned to resume that game after storms move out of the area Sunday night.
Gordon apologizes for aggressiveness — sort of The NASCAR notebook ... SONOMA, Calif. (AP) — With nine career victories at Sonoma and Watkins Glen, Jeff Gordon is considered one of the best road course racers in NASCAR. So it was strange to see him seem so out-of-control Sunday at Infineon Raceway, where he bulldozed his way to a fifthplace finish and admitted he was overly aggressive at times. One of those times led to a race-ending wreck for Martin Truex Jr., and Gordon apologized for his role in the accident. “There are some things that I’m not proud of that I did today, certainly with Martin,” he said. “I mean, I completely messed that up and I will try to patch that up. Other things that happened out there were just really hard racing incidents.” Many other drivers had issues with Gordon, including Elliott Sadler, who blamed Gordon for wrecking his run. “We got taken out by Gordon and it’s just frustrating,” Sadler said. “It’s a shame. He took out Martin Truex for no reason. (Bowyer) and me were side-byside and he got two-for-one there, so he was just kind of knocking everything out of his way.” Also annoyed with Gordon was Kurt Busch, who finished 32nd and said contact from Gor-
don cut his right-rear tire. But Gordon was unapologetic for that one. “Kurt Busch had everything coming to him that I gave him because he gave it to me on the restart before that, so I don’t feel sorry about that,” Gordon said. “I certainly do with Martin. With Elliott, I feel bad. I was racing him hard, he was blocking me but he was trying to race somebody else, too. “That was probably my fault as well.”
TICKED-OFF TRUEX: Although Gordon accepted responsibility for ruining Truex’s race, it may take some time for Truex to forgive the four-time series champion. Truex was running inside the top 10 when Gordon spun him, causing him to drop back into traffic, where he was caught in a multi-car accident. “I guess Jeff figured if he couldn’t catch us on the racetrack he was going to spin us out on the restart,” Truex said. “How many times have I spun Jeff Gordon out? How many times have I spun anybody out? I lifted for them guys on those restarts; they get all stupid and crazy and wild, and I lift and wait and they just run into you. It’s stupid.” Truex also indicated he had no interest in hearing Gordon’s explanation.
“I know he’s going to say, ’Well, Juan (Pablo Montoya) was trying to pass me and I was trying to block him.”’ Truex said. “I don’t care. Just because he’s trying to pass you, it’s all right for you to spin me out? No. Let him pass you, then.” Truex vowed on his radio to seek revenge against both Gordon and Montoya, but wouldn’t reiterate the promise when asked about it later. “We’ll see,” he said.
SURPRISINGLY SOLID DAY: Dale Earnhardt Jr. pulls no punches about his dislike of Sonoma, where he’s never cracked the top-10 and was involved in a fiery 2004 crash in a sports car race that left him with burn scars. So he was pleasantly surprised Sunday when he tied his career-best Sonoma finish of 11th. “I just took care of my car the first half of the race and at then end, I just kind of jumped in the fire and hoped for the best and it worked out,” Earnhardt said. “It was a good day for us. I don’t get that pumped up about it — I just get relief to be able to go home and not be ticked off.” The finish moved Earnhardt up to 13th in the standings, just 57 points out of the 12th and final qualifying position for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

JOHNSON
HALL
Aside from ending the slump, Johnson more importantly added a road course victory to his resume and knocked Sonoma off the list of five active Cup tracks where he had never been to Victory Lane. But road course racing has never been his strength in NASCAR. He went into Sunday’s race with an average finish of 17th at Sonoma, which caused him to enter two Grand-Am races this season in an attempt to gain extra practice at making right and left turns. “I’d say the bottom line to it is I love road course racing,” Johnson said. “I always have. I grew up racing off-road trucks, made a name for myself in that style of racing. To come into the Cup Series and not have success early irritated me. That’s why today is so special to us, why it has meant so much.” Although Johnson led 55 of the 110 laps, it was Ambrose’s race to lose at the end. Ambrose, who led 35 laps, had a comfortable lead over Johnson when Brad Keselowski’s spin brought out the late caution. Instructed by crew chief Frank Kerr to conserve fuel in case the race went into NASCAR’s version of “overtime,” Ambrose began flipping his motor on and off at various points around the race track. Unable to get it restarted at one point, his Toyota stalled and Johnson led a handful of cars around him. NASCAR ruled Ambrose failed to “maintain reasonable speed” and dropped him to seventh, where he had blended back into line after re-firing his motor. Kerr visited NASCAR officials after the race and said he understood the ruling. But asked if he was “content” with the ruling, he said only “no comment.” Kerr also asked Sprint Cup Series director John Darby about the 2007 race at Kansas, where winner Greg Biffle appeared to run out of gas under caution on the final lap and was passed by Clint Bowyer and Johnson before the finish line. “I asked John about that, and that’s OK. And then I asked if it’s OK to get pushed around, so I’m not really sure what the difference is,” Kerr said. “Depends on who you are, I guess.” Darby said the Biffle situation was different because Biffle’s car
Knox fought with distinction in World War II, including the Battle of the Bulge, as a member of the 614th Tank Destroyer Battalion. In his time in the service, Knox competed head-to-head with Jackie Robinson while they were training in Texas. Knox was a prodigious baseball power hitter in his youth and accepted an athletic scholarship from North Carolina A&T after the war. A four-year letterman in baseball, he was the cleanup man and a .300hitter for A&T’s CIAA championship teams in 1947 and 1948. He was AllCIAA twice and was inducted into A&T’s Hall of Fame in 1986. Knox played against Henry Aaron and Willie May and was offered pro contracts, but he opted for a career in education. He was appointed principal of segregated R.A. Clement School in Cleveland in 1956. Knox became the first AfricanAmerican principal of an integrated school in Rowan in 1968 when Clement became West Rowan Junior High. In 1986, he was the first AfricanAmerican elected as a Rowan County Commissioner. Among other honors, he’s received the Distinguished Service Award from A&T and the Rowan County Board of Education Award. Shannon Myers Myers was a fine all-round athlete at North Rowan and graduated in 1991. He was Rowan County Offensive Player of the Yea r in 1990 as a football receiver and won the Mark Norris Award as Rowan’s Baseball Player of the Year in 1991. He continued to shine in both sports at Lenoir-Rhyne. He was All-SAC in baseball twice for the Bears and was SAC Player of the Year in 1994. He also was first team All-SAC in football in 1994 and was drafted by the Miami Dolphins in 1995. Myers played two seasons with Edmonton of the Canadian Football League and also had brief NFL stints with several teams. Myers graduated from L-R in 1997. He is a member of the SAC Hall of Fame and the Lenoir-Rhyne Hall of Fame and is now employed by B&M Racing as a tire changer. Stephanie Cross The 1994 graduate of North Rowan was one of the best women’s basketball players the county has produced.

Smith fanned eight, walked one and allowed just two singles in six innings. Kyle Bridges grounded a single in the second, and Taylor West led off the fourth with an infield hit. That was it. “I was very excited about this one,” Smith said. “I knew the Northwest players well, and Goody (South pitch-caller Brian Goodnight, who is an assistant at A.L. Brown) knew all the Brown players.” Kannapolis had a chance to score in the first after an error and a walk, but Dylan May lifted a popup to first baseman Patrick Bearden for the third out. After that, Smith struck out five of the next six he faced. “Weston threw well, but he had thrown 50 pitches after the second inning,” South coach Michael Lowman said. “After that, he got more economical and started getting some early contact for some outs.

As for Ambrose, “I don’t know what happened, I don’t know if his car quit, if he shut it off,” Darby said. “What I do know is he was leading, he pulled over, he stopped and he pulled back in and at that point, that’s where he is.” Although the Biffle race was confusing at the time — even thirdplace finisher Johnson that day questioned the call, “He clearly ran out of gas. If you can’t maintain pace car speed, then the guys that can finished ahead of you” — Johnson on Sunday said the situations were clearly different.
zone and he was able to give us six strong innings.” Freeze, South’s Pfeifferbound catcher, was impressed with the young hurler’s second start of the summer. “Weston’s fastball had good velocity, but the main thing was he was throwing his curveball for a strike just about every time,” Freeze said. “Being able to do that is something he’s got on most pitchers.” South leadoff man Blake Houston HOUSTON whipped a double to the opposite field to start the bottom of the first against Kannapolis starter Graham Lawing and scored on Miles’ single to right. It was Miles’ 27th RBI of the summer and the 90th of his three-year career. He has broken the program record of 88 that was set by Daniel Wagner. South all but settled the game with a six-run third. Shepherd, who had struck out in the first with the bases loaded, got
“You’ve got to maintain a reasonable speed. I thought it was pace car speed,” he said. “So when you look at (Ambrose) coming to a stop, I think it really eliminates the gray area or the discussion of, ‘What is a reasonable speed?’ “When you come to a dead stop on the racetrack, I think that changes things, makes it black and white, very easy to read the rule.” Robby Gordon finished second in a Toyota for his highest finish of the season, and series points leader Kevin Harvick was third in a Chevrolet. Defending race winner Kasey Kahne finished fourth in a Ford and Jeff Gordon rounded out the top five. Biffle was seventh and was followed by Boris Said, Tony Stewart and Juan Pablo Montoya.
the key hit, drilling a two-run double down the left-field line. In the fourth, Miles crushed a 400-foot triple, and Freeze smacked a curveball for his two-run double. South has a huge game tonight at Mooresville. Shepherd will pitch for South, with Keith Little on the bump for the Moors. They beat Mocksville 10-0 on Sunday.

Gantt confirmed that Robbins would have gone deeper into the game, but there was a scary moment in the fourth when a bad-hop grounder struck Rowan shortstop Preston Troutman in the head. That injury forced Gantt to make some lineup changes. “Bradley pitched well and I would have liked to have seen what he was going to do tonight,” Gantt said. “He struggled a bit early, but then he got dialed in and it was nice to see.” Leading the way for Rowan’s offense was veteran catcher Matt Miller, who went 3-for-4. Troutman was 2-for-2 with two runs scored, three RBIs and a stolen base when he was forced to leave the game. Adding to Robbins’ solid outing on the mound was the brilliant relief effort turned in by Dakota Brown. Brown pitched shutout ball for 31⁄3 innings, struck out six

and walked one. “I just really hit my spots better tonight, which let me get the strikeouts,” Brown said. First baseman Zack Simpson moved to the mound for the ninth and struck out the side after allowing a leadoff single. Rowan, which is hitting its stride and riding an eightgame winning streak, opened a homestand of six consecutive games with the non-division win over Surry. After the game, Troutman showed no signs of injury, great news for Rowan. Tonight, Rowan (15-7) is home against Concord, a team it battered 22-8 on Friday.

Mets recall Parnell Staff report
The New York Mets recalled righthanded relief pitcher Bobby Parnell (East Rowan) from Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday and sent 20-year-old Jenrry Mejia to Double-A Binghamton. Mejia, who had a 3.25 ERA for the Mets, was sent down so he could develop into a starting pitcher. Parnell had a 1-1 record and 4.14 ERA in 24 appearances for Buffalo of
the International League. He struck out 42 batters in 411⁄3 innings, and the opposition batted .231 against him. He hadn’t allowed an earned run in seven of his last nine appearances. Parnell was a September call-up in 2008, and he spent all of last season with the Mets. He went 4-8 with a 5.30 ERA in 68 games, including eight starts. The Mets return to action Tuesday against Detroit. A story on Parnell is upcoming.
Pavano quiets Phillies Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Carl Pavano pitched a four-hitter, and Justin Morneau and Denard Span homered to lead Minnesota past Roy Halladay and Philadelphia 4-1 on Sunday. Pavano (8-6) won his third straight start. The right-hander struck out two and walked none in his ninth career complete game and second this season. The only run Pavano allowed came on Wilson Valdez’s sixth-inning homer. Halladay (8-6) lost his third straight start, giving up a season-high 11 hits while striking out eight and walking none in eight innings. Braves 8, Royals 5 ATLANTA — Eric Hinske’s tworun double broke an eighth-inning tie and Chipper Jones had three RBIs. Melky Cabrera added an RBI single in the eighth off Blake Wood (0-1) for the Braves, who improved to 24-7 at home. Atlanta moved 2 1⁄2 games ahead of the second-place New York Mets in the NL East. “You can’t put enough ground between yourself and the other teams,” Braves closer Billy Wagner said. “We’ve got to continue to battle and get the lead as far as we can get it because there’s going to be a time where we hit a tough spell and there’s going to be a time when they’re hot.” Craig Kimbrel earned the win by pitching a scoreless eighth, but it wasn’t easy. The right-hander loaded the bases on two walks and his own fielding error before striking out two and escaping the jam on Billy Butler’s popup. “I kind of put myself in a tough situation there,” Kimbrel said, “but we got back in there and were able to get three outs.” Wagner struck out two in a scoreless ninth for his 14th save this year and the 399th of his career. Red Sox 2, Dodgers 0 BOSTON — Clay Buchholz and two relievers combined on a four-hit shutout to help Boston beat the Dodgers and send Manny Ramirez back to Los Angeles without a win. Buchholz (10-4) allowed three hits, three walks and two hit batsmen while striking out four to complete the threegame sweep and win for the seventh time in his past eight starts. Marlins 4, Rays 1 MIAMI — Josh Johnson outpitched David Price in a matchup of two of baseball’s top starters, and Wes Helms hit a two-run homer. Johnson (8-2) threw 87 of his 117 pitches for strikes while lowering his ERA a tiny bit to 1.80. Rangers 5, Astros 4 (10 innings) HOUSTON — Josh Hamilton tied a career high with five hits, including a tying single in the ninth inning and a go-ahead single in the 10th that lifted the Rangers to their eighth straight win. Yankees 4, Mets 0 NEW YORK — CC Sabathia was
dominant over eight innings in his rematch against Johan Santana, and Mark Teixeira hit a grand slam. Sabathia (8-3), denied a shot at a shutout of the season by a 22-minute rain delay in the eighth, allowed four hits. The Yankees and Mets went 3-3 against each other this season. Mariners 1, Reds 0 SEATTLE — Ryan Rowland-Smith earned his first win of the season, holding Cincinnati to three hits over six innings. The Reds scored one run in the threegame series. They’ve lost six of seven. Padres 9, Orioles 4 SAN DIEGO — Will Venable hit a three-run homer, dashing Jake Arrieta’s bid to win his first three big league starts, and the San Diego Padres rallied from a four-run deficit in the first inning. Athletics 3, Cardinals 2 ST. LOUIS — Kevin Kouzmanoff had a season-high four hits, including a home run, and Trevor Cahill threw six strong innings to lead Oakland. Closer Andrew Bailey recorded four outs for his 13th save. He got Albert Pujols to fly out with runners on first and third to end the eighth. White Sox 6, Nationals 3 WASHINGTON — Paul Konerko drove in three runs, Freddy Garcia won his fifth straight start and the White Sox earned their sixth victory in a row. The Nationals lost their sixth straight game. The White Sox went 8-1 on their road trip and reached .500 for the first time since they were 1-1 in early April. Tigers 3, Diamondbacks 1 DETROIT — Max Scherzer pitched seven impressive innings against his former team and late home runs by Brennan Boesch and Carlos Guillen rallied the Tigers past Arizona. Boesch and Guillen hit consecutive homers in the seventh to help the Tigers finish up an 8-1 homestand against NL opponents. Arizona has lost 15 of its last 16 road games. Cubs 12, Angels 1 CHICAGO — Carlos Zambrano pitched seven strong innings, Derrek Lee drove in a season-high four runs and Geovany Soto homered. Giants 9, Blue Jays 6 TORONTO — Freddy Sanchez, Pat Burrell and Aubrey Huff homered and the San Francisco Giants beat the Toronto Blue Jays for their first win at an AL ballpark this season. The Giants had been 0-5 in interleague road games until winning the series finale. Pirates 5, Indians 3 PITTSBURGH — Rookie Pedro Alvarez’s sacrifice fly in the eighth inning drove in the go-ahead run. NATIONAL LEAGUE Brewers 6, Rockies 1 DENVER — Rickie Weeks and Corey Hart hit two-run doubles in a five-run ninth inning.

Another rally falls short for Woods BY TIM DAHLBERG

Big 3 a bust on final day BY EDDIE PELLS Associated Press
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — They go on a first-name basis: Tiger, Phil and Ernie. On Sunday, they all went home empty. When the final round of the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach was over, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els could all say they had their chances. None, however, could convert, which is how a little-known European named Graeme McDowell found himself holding the trophy. That’s three players with 20 majors between them, and none could figure out a way to make it 21. Els, playing some of the best golf of his life of late, got tantalizingly close to his first major championship since the 2002 British Open but went bogey-double-bogey on Nos. 9 and 10 to throw away his chance. He finished third, two shots out of the lead. Mickelson, the Masters winner searching for the second leg of the Grand Slam, made birdie with a putt from off the green on No. 1, but didn’t make another one the rest of the day. He tied for fourth with Woods, who, like Mickelson, shot a 66 earlier in the tournament to put himself in position to win. “I thought when I made that putt on the first hole, it was going to be a great day,” said Mickelson, who found the greens getting bumpier and more unpredictable as he worked his way around on a cool, breezy day at Pebble. As did Woods.
“Every putt I missed was from above the hole,” he said. “Yesterday I made everything because it was all below the hole. These greens are bumpy enough where putts above the holes, it’s just pot luck.” While Woods found himself on the wrong side of the hole for most of the day, Mickelson and Els each watched their title hopes slip away on the so-called “Cliffs of Doom” — the stretch of holes 8, 9 and 10 that run along the Monterey Peninsula. Els was at 3-under par, tied with McDowell for the lead, when he came up short on his approach on No. 9, then chipped up short, as well, and needed two putts to get down. Bogey. Then, the real killer: a tee shot that went off the course, over the edge, almost certainly matted in the thick grass that leads down to the beach. It’s the Pacific Ocean — the biggest water hazard in the world — and Els had the common sense to ask a rules official if he would be penalized for touching the ground as he picked his way down the hill, trying to keep his balance. No problem there. But he never found his ball. And when he came back onto terra firma to drop, he chunked it, hit that ball into the tall grass, and was lucky to make a 6. Mickelson spent all day Sunday playing catch-up, a reality captured best when, trailing McDowell by three with three holes left, he went pin hunting on No. 16 and left the ball buried in the deep rough, en route to a bogey. “I took a chance, it didn’t pay off,” he told his caddie, Jim “Bones” Mackay. No way to argue with that one.
MCDOWELL
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — The leader was imploding just behind him, and a nobody was playing alongside him. It seemed the perfect time for Tiger Woods to step up and finally answer at least some of the questions about him. Not the one posed by the banner drawn by a plane overhead. It got a cheap laugh from the gallery but the joke was a tired one, even on Father’s Day. “Tiger, are you my daddy?” it read. A better question might have been posed a few hours later. “Tiger, why can’t you finish the job on Sunday anymore?” The answer was probably out there somewhere on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific, where Graeme McDowell played the kind of solid Sunday golf Woods used to be known for to win the U.S. Open. Try as we might, though, it was hard to pinpoint one good reason why the greatest closer in the game can’t seem to close the show these days. Yes, his putting was bad. Yes, his iron shots weren’t terribly accurate. But all he needed to do was shoot even par to win his 15th major championship. And he couldn’t even come close. The old Tiger would have wrapped this one up before he even got to the 18th hole. He and caddie Steve Williams could have had a few laughs walking down the final fairway. The new Tiger was out of contention by the time he reached the iconic final hole. Even then he couldn’t find the fairway off the tee. The record will show he tied Phil Mickelson for fourth place, certainly a respectable showing by most standards. But Tiger Woods was never one to be measured by most standards, especially on a course where he

There were hints even before the sex scandal that sent him into hiding and then into rehab that there were cracks in the Woods’ facade. They were readily apparent when Woods lost a final round lead for the first time in a major and was beaten by Y.E. Yang for the PGA Championship. Woods has now lost three majors in a row that he had a chance to win on Sunday, and he seems as perplexed as anyone about the reasons why. Father’s Day without a family to celebrate with? Who knows. Inability to focus when it matters most because his mind is still on other things? Possibly. Maybe, though, it’s as simple as this: Woods can’t find the killer instinct he once carried around the course with a swagger. He’s
lost the edge that always allowed him to pour in putts seemingly at will when he needed them the most. Woods himself didn’t offer much insight before gassing up the private jet and getting out of town. “I feel like I can play now,” he said. “I’ve got a feel for my game, my shape of my shots, what I’m working on.” What had to be especially frustrating to the greatest player of his era was that this Open was there for the taking. Johnson threw away a three-shot lead and his chances with some early blunders, Mickelson couldn’t get anything going, and Ernie Els was consistently inconsistent. That left McDowell and Woods’ playing partner, Gregory Havret of France, to dispose of. Woods didn’t come close, following Saturday’s sterling 66 with a bloated 75 that seemed preordained the minute he three-putted the first green.
Introducing
FROM 1B
What a wasted opportunity that turned out to be. McDowell’s lone birdie was an eight-foot putt on the fifth hole, and his final round was the highest score by a U.S. Open champion since Andy North in 1985. “I can’t believe I’m standing with this right now,” McDowell said, posing with silver trophy. “It’s a dream come true. I’ve been dreaming it all my life. Two putts to win the U.S. Open. Can’t believe it happened.” Woods couldn’t believe it, either. Poised to end six months of bad publicity over a shattered personal life, he bogeyed five of his first 10 holes and took himself out of contention with a 75. “I made three mental mistakes,” Woods said sourly. “The only thing it cost us was a chance to win the U.S. Open.” Els and Mickelson hung around a little longer, and both had opportunities, but neither could capitalize. Els had a brief share of the lead on the front nine but came undone along the coastal holes — including one stretch of bogey-double bogey-bogey — and never quite recovered. His hopes ended when he missed his target with a sand wedge on the par-5 14th and took bogey, then missed a four-foot birdie putt on the 15th. He closed with a 73 to finish alone in third. Mickelson holed a birdie putt from just off the green on the first hole, then didn’t made another birdie the rest of the day. He also shot a 73 and tied for fourth with Woods, missing a chance to supplant Woods at No. 1 in the world. “It was anybody’s ball game,” Mickelson said. “I had a number of opportunities to get well under par, and I didn’t do it.” Even so, nothing compares with what happened to Johnson. The 25-year-old American looked so unflappable all week and came apart so quickly. On the final hole of a round he won’t forget, Johnson missed a two-foot birdie putt and wound up with an 82, the highest closing round by a

Dustin Johnson watches a poor shot on the seventh hole. 54-hole leader in the U.S. Open since Fred McLeod shot 83 in 1911. McDowell finished at evenpar 284 and ended 40 years of questions about when a European would be U.S. Open champion again. Tony Jacklin of England was the last one, in 1970 at Hazeltine. McDowell had to work harder than he imagined. Even under overcast skies and a stiff breeze, the course was as firm and dangerous as ever. Davis Love III, with a 71, was the only player in the final five groups to match par. “I can’t believe how difficult this golf course was,” McDowell said. “No matter how good you play ... good golf got reward, and bad golf got punished really badly.” McDowell got into the U.S. Open by narrowly getting into the top 50 in the world at the deadline to avoid qualifying. He wound up with his first victory in America to go along with five European Tour victories, most recently the Wales Open last month at the home course for the Ryder Cup in October. He is sure to
be part of the European team now, moving up to No. 13 in the world. “To play steady and to withstand some tough holes the way Graeme did and to come out on top, he played some great golf,” Mickelson said. “It was a wide-open tournament. Many guys had a chance. And it made for kind of an exciting U.S. Open, I thought.” It didn’t sound like one. The gentle waves lapping the shore almost made more noise than the gallery, with so few birdies to cheer on a day that was more about survival. McDowell had a three-shot lead as he walked down the 10th fairway, and from there it was a matter of hanging on. “You go chasing and you’ll make bogeys,” McDowell said. Mickelson gave it one last try when he fired at a dangerous pin on the right side of the 16th green. It came up just short and buried in the deep grass, and when the Masters champion heard the groan, he said to caddie Jim Mackay, “I took a chance, Bones. Didn’t pay off.”

Federer remains the favorite at Wimbledon ana’s National Pathfinder Award, joining his mother and father who shared the honor in 2006. The award is given to individuals who show a commitment to improving the lives of America’s children. Manning is the second NFL player to win the award — the other is his father, Archie — but he is the only active NFL player to win. Peyton and Archie Manning are the first father-son tandem ever honored by the organization. Previous award winners include Larry Bird, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Oscar Robertson and John Wooden.

WIMBLEDON, England — Walking the Wimbledon grounds Sunday, wearing a stylish white jacket with gold trim, his collar turned up for protection from a biting wind, the tournament’s sixtime champion looked like the same old Roger Federer. True, there have been signs of slippage this month. Federer lost at the French Open in the quarterfinals, his earliest Grand Slam exit in six years. Then he dropped to No. 2 in the rankings behind nemesis Rafael Nadal. Then, at a Wimbledon warm-up event, came Federer’s second grass-court defeat since 2003, extending his drought of nearly five months without a title. But the All England Club tends to bring out the best in Federer, which is awfully good. He has reached a record seven consecutive Wimbledon finals, losing only one of them — to Nadal in 2008. Last year Federer regained the title, beating Andy Roddick 16-14 in the fifth set of a final that ranked with the sport’s greatest matches. And so when Federer steps onto an immaculate Centre Court lawn for his opening-round match today against Alejandro Falla of Colombia, he’ll again be the man to beat. Tournament organizers acknowledged as much by giving Federer the top seeding even though he’s ranked second. He’ll try to join Pete Sampras and 19th-century champion Willie Renshaw as the only men to win the singles title seven times. “Obviously my game’s made for grass,” Federer said. “I definitely think every time I play, I’ll have a chance to win here, there’s no doubt. We all know how hard it is to win Grand Slam titles. But I think the experience I have on this surface can pull me through many matches maybe I would be struggling with.” Also made for grass are women’s favorites Serena and Venus Williams, who are seeded 1-2 and have combined to win eight

Italy held to stunning 1-1 draw by New Zealand Associated Press
NELSPRUIT, South Africa — Defending champion Italy was held to a second 1-1 draw, this time by lowly New Zealand in the latest World Cup stunner. The 78th-ranked All Whites took the lead after only seven minutes of Sunday’s Group F match when Italy’s 36-year-old captain Fabio Cannavaro made a horrendous error, handing a goal to Shane Smeltz. A long free kick from Simon Elliott sailed deep into Italy’s area, off Cannavaro’s hip as he fell and directly toward the waiting Smeltz for the tap-in. It was New Zealand’s only shot on goal the entire match. Riccardo Montolivo hit the goalpost for Italy in the 27th, then Vincenzo Iaquinta equalized two minutes later with a penalty kick. Tommy Smith was given a yellow card for tugging down Daniele De Rossi inside the area on a corner kick. Italy meets Slovakia in its final group match Thursday and New Zealand faces Paraguay. All four teams could still advance. Paraguay 2, Slovakia 0 BLOEMFONTEIN, South Africa
— Enrique Vera and Cristian Riveros scored as Paraguay moved closer to advancing at the World Cup. Vera broke through for La Albirroja in the 27th when forward Lucas Barrios slipped a pass into the box and Vera angled it past Slovakia goalkeeper Jan Mucha with a onetime shot. Riveros added a goal in the 86th minute, a left-footed blast from the edge of the penalty area. Brazil 3, Ivory Coast 1 JOHANNESBURG — Brute force and hand balls aside, Brazil has achieved its first objective at the World Cup: advancing out of Group G. The physical match saw Brazil star Kaka ejected with two late yellow cards. Luis Fabiano scored a pair of goals, one with the aid of touches with his arm and his hand, while Elano added another. “It’s true, the ball really touched my hand and then my shoulder,” Luis Fabiano said. “But it was involuntary. It was one of the greatest goals I’ve scored in my career.” Ivory Coast coach Sven-Goran Eriksson was livid that that the second goal counted. “They got a goal free,” Eriksson said. “That’s a 2-nil goal — that
changed everything.” Kaka will be suspended for Brazil’s next match, against Portugal. He got into an altercation with Kader Keita near the end of the match. UNITED STATES IRENE, South Africa — Clint Dempsey says the referee who disallowed a late American go-ahead goal against Slovenia encouraged rough play in the penalty area by failing to whistle infractions early in the game. “Before the tournament, they told us that any type of holding on corners is a penalty, any type of grabbing around a player is a penalty. So when we get to the game, that’s not what’s going on,” he said Sunday. “So you have to adapt.” After the U.S. rallied from a twogoal halftime deficit Friday to tie the score, Maurice Edu appeared to put the Americans ahead in the 85th minute when he volleyed in Landon Donovan’s free kick. But referee Koman Coulibaly of Mali called it off for reasons he didn’t explain, and the game finished 2-2. Some speculated the whistle was because Dempsey pushed Andraz Kirm as Donovan took the kick. “That’s the one set piece where
I’m probably not mixing it up with somebody,” Dempsey said. “I acted like I was going to go in. I came back, and went around to the far post, and if Mo had missed the ball, I would have had the goal. So if you freezeframe that play, three of our guys are in a head lock. So to single me out, that that’s a play that I caused trouble on, I don’t think you’re really watching the game. But saying that, probably there were plays where I did mix up it during the game, on other plays. But on that one, for sure not.” Dempsey thought Coulibaly’s inaction led to increased pushing and shoving. IRENE, South Africa — FIFA told the U.S. Soccer Federation that the American team can’t train at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria on Tuesday ahead of the game against Algeria the following day. “They’re protecting the pitch,” team spokesman Michael Kammarman said Sunday. Algeria also was barred from practicing there. FRANCE KNYSNA, South Africa — A draw, a loss, a tantrum and now chaos for Les Bleus.
France’s World Cup team refused to train Sunday in protest of striker Nicolas Anelka’s expulsion from the squad, prompted by a profanitylaced tirade against coach Raymond Domenech the day before. The latest round of turbulence also led to the resignation of France team director Jean-Louis Valentin, who said he was fed up with the team. “It’s a scandal for the French, for the young people here. It’s a scandal for the federation and the French team,” Valentin said. “They don’t want to train. It’s unacceptable.” Before getting in a car and driving off, he added: “As for me, it’s over. I’m leaving the federation. I’m sickened and disgusted.” NIGERIA JOHANNESBURG — The Nigerian team has asked its government to provide security for midfielder Sani Kaita after his red card during a World Cup loss to Greece prompted more than 1,000 death threats. Nigeria team spokesman Idah Peterside said Kaita has received the death threats via e-mail from Nigeria ever since he was sent off for kicking out at Greece’s Vassilis Torosidis in the 33rd minute of Thursday’s 2-1 loss at Bloemfontein.

Pursuant to North Carolina General Statutes ("Gen. Stat.") 45-21.8 and 45-21.9, the Trustee gives notice that the Property in question consists of multiple parcels of real estate and the Trustee expressly reserves the right to sell only as many of such parcels as the Trustee in the Trustee's judgment believes necessary to satisfy the obligation secured by the Deed of Trust and the costs and expenses of the sale. If the Trustee effects to sell only a portion of the parcels subject to the Deed of Trust but the proceeds thereof are inadequate to satisfy the obligation secured by the Deed of Trust and the costs and expenses of the sale, the Trustee expressly reserves the right to exercise the power of sale contained in the Deed of Trust and re-advertise the unsold parcels or a portion thereof and sell as many additional units or parcels as the Trustee believes is in the Trustee's judgment to be necessary to satisfy the remainder of the secured obligation and costs and expenses of such sale.
Ten Reasons to Advertise in Tough Economic Times 1. You’re Open.
You still turn your lights on; why not invite people in? If you are open for business you must market your business.
2. Opportunity.
If the pool gets smaller, your visibility increases your odds of being the vendor of choice and seizing share from your competitors.
3. Reliability.
Media mix is a desirable goal except during tough times when you need to rely more heavily on the core medium: newspaper.
4. Proven Results.
During tough times, your advertising needs to be focused on Return On Investment. Newspaper advertising is a proven ROI vehicle.
5. Fish Where the Fish Are.
The Salisbury Post and www.salisburypost.com offer the best local reach by a country mile and is the first place to look for consumers for your services. It is the ONLY medium where readers buy the product for the ads as well as the content.
6. Tough Customers.
Be among the considered choices. The Salisbury Post is a marketplace for
shoppers and if you aren’t here, you may not be considered as a choice for those who are buying.
7. Credibility.
Advertising in a credible medium is an indication you are credible as well.
8. Bravado.
Never show your fear. Advertising indicates confidence in your business.
9. Start the Process.
Even if customers are not buying today, advertising is your opportunity to start people thinking about what to buy and where to buy it. It will pay off later.
10. It’s a Fact!
The Salisbury Post and www.salisburypost.com reach 74% of Rowan's adult population every week — more readers than five years ago. Include our weekly direct mail "Extra" product and you reach over 90%. The percent of Rowan adults who read the Charlotte Observer, Independent Tribune, or listen to any local radio stations: LESS THAN 20% COMBINED! The number of Salisbury Post/www.salisburypost.com subscribers and readers is INCREASING.
The property offered pursuant to this Notice is being offered for sale, transfer, and conveyance AS IS, WHERE IS. Neither the Trustee nor the holder of the indebtedness secured by the deed of trust, security agreement, or both, being foreclosed, nor their officers, directors, attorneys, representatives, employees, or agents make any representation or warranty relating to the title or any physical, health, environmental, or safety conditions existing in, on, at, or relating to said property, and any liability or responsibility arising out of or in any way relating to any such condition is expressly disclaimed. The Trustee may, in the Trustee's sole discretion, delay the sale for one hour as provided in Gen. Stat. 45-21.23. At the sale, any bid must be at least $100.00 more than the immediately preceding bid. If the highest bidder is anyone other than the holder of the indebtedness, such high bidder must pay, in addition to the bid price, the fees or taxes imposed by Gen. Stat. 7A-308(a)(1) and 105 228.30 and any other tax or fee based upon the sale of the subject property or the sale price thereof. The Trustee reserves the right to require of the successful bidder at such sale a deposit of 5% of the amount bid in the form of certified funds, official bank check, or the equivalent (as provided in the Deed of Trust or by law), or Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($750.00), whichever is greater. The sale is subject to unpaid taxes, special assessments, restrictions and easements of record, and prior liens, if any. The sale will be held open ten (10) days for upset bids as required by law. Thereafter, all remaining amounts are immediately due and owing and time is of the essence. Any announcement made at the sale takes precedence over these terms of sale to the extent allowed by law. If the subject property is residential real property with less than 15 rental units, pursuant to Gen. Stat. 45-21.16A(b), the following notice is provided: (1) An order for possession of the property may be issued pursuant to Gen. Stat. 45-21.29 in favor of the purchaser and against the party or parties in possession by the clerk of superior court of the county in which the property is sold; and (2) Any person who occupies the property pursuant to a rental agreement entered into or renewed on or after October 1, 2007, may, after receiving the notice of sale, terminate the rental agreement upon 10 days' written notice to the landlord. Upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is liable for rent due under the rental agreement prorated to the effective date of the termination. This Is an Effort to Collect a Debt and Any Information Obtained Will Be Used for That Purpose. This the 17th day of June, 2010. SUBSTITUTE TRUSTEE: K. Todd Phillips, N.C.

Monday, June 21 There is a good chance that you might establish some goals in the year ahead that are a complete departure from what you’ve set in the past, which is OK if they are taking you to grand places. What you envision can be achieved. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — It might take far greater discipline than usual to finish what you start today. If you don’t want to leave a mess in your wake, you had better stay on top of whatever you take on. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Generally, you’re pretty careful about what you say about others, but today some flippant negative comments could be taken more seriously than usual. Mean what you say and say only what you mean. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Although there are plenty of substantial material opportunities hovering about you today, you will need a sharp eye to detect them. Unless you are seriously looking for them, you could easily miss them. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Those in your charge will easily be able to discern whether you are being tough or just pretending when you give them orders today. You’ll have to really mean it for your dictates are to be followed. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Overhearing a disclosure that is meant to be confidential could put you on track to something quite beneficial if you are sharp enough to pick up on it and know how to constructively use it. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Prompting from an acquaintance could cause you to behave in an abrasive manner to someone who doesn’t really deserve it. Don’t be hoodwinked into believing what isn’t true. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — If an ambitious plan you’ve been contemplating is prematurely exposed today, it could easily weaken your position. Guard your important intentions more carefully. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Be careful not to allow someone who is famous for making waves draw you into one of his/her intrigues today. If you participate, you will be the one who ends up looking like the perpetrator. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Success in a collective situation will not be enhanced by a large number of participants today. Only people with talent and know-how will be able to pull off what everybody is hoping. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Generally you are one who nearly always thinks for yourself, but today this splendid quality won’t be visible. Although you rarely do so, you will let bias influence your opinions at this time. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Check to see if it is a selfish reason that is causing you to step out of character. Don’t make one set of rules for yourself, while making an entirely different set for everybody else. Gemini (May 21-June 20) -— Generally speaking you are noticed wherever you go, regardless of what you are doing or who you are with, so make sure the impression you make today isn’t a negative one.

A bit of insight into the genetic test kit Insight Dear Dr. Gott: Thank heavens for your website, since I can get a very important question out to you immediately without using snail mail. While watching the news last evening, I heard about a test kit I can purchase over the counter that will ina posDR. PETER dicate sible genetic GOTT predisposition to such medical problems as Parkinson’s disease and heart trouble. I was informed the kit will cost up to $30, and once a saliva specimen is sent in to the laboratory, the testing will begin at an additional expense of up to $437. I am not sure I can handle knowing if my world will fall apart around me, or if I should just plug along as I am — blissfully ignorant of what might lie ahead. Or perhaps it is worth double the money just to know. What can you tell me about the idea? Dear Reader: Pathway Genomics in San Diego, Calif., is attempting to market a test kit known as Insight, which will offer genetic health reporting. They have a few online retailers who have been marketing the product on a small-scale basis, but Walgreens and CVS have been targeted for mass distribution to the public. Now take a step back, because
the Food and Drug Administration enters the picture. According to a recent Los Angeles Times article, Pathway officials assert that the kit meets federal regulations and doesn’t require FDA approval. The FDA has given Pathway 15 days to respond to its requests for more information justifying that statement. This has caused a Walgreens spokesman to issue a statement postponing offering the product to their customers without clarification from the FDA. Because of the lag time of my column, a decision may have already been made by the time this column goes to print. The National Society of Genetic Counselors has issued a warning that while selling home kits through drugstores would give more people access to genetic testing, such information without input from a doctor could increase the chances of misunderstanding and misinterpretation. Because there may be a genetic predisposition to a disease and a person may be at increased risk doesn’t make that disorder a certainty. Furthermore, the kit is not forwarded to your local hospital but is mailed to a Pathway Genomics laboratory. Results are provided back via the Internet. I don’t know about you, but I’ve watched too many TV police shows to be willing to share my DNA with a perfect stranger. Given an option, I would prefer the saliva be sent to my local
hospital, but that’s apparently where the $437 comes in. Scientists and bioethicists have expressed concern that consumers will misuse or misunderstand the results. It’s my guess that if you poll two of your closest friends, 20 people at work or 500 in your community, you will get a split decision between people who definitely want to know what might be in store and people who prefer to accept conditions as they occur. Make an appointment for a complete examination with your primarycare physician. Include blood work, a baseline EKG, chest X-ray and any other testing that might be appropriate based on your family history. If you are without insurance and money is an issue, speak with your physician about affordable selective testing. Then speak with your
hospital to set up a payment plan that meets your budget restrictions. Eat well, exercise to the fullest extent of your capabilities, and get adequate sleep. 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.
