‘A WONDERFUL PERSON’
Hall defeated in GOP runoff BY KARISSA MINN JESSIE BURCHETTE

news@salisburypost.com
County Commissioner Chad Mitchell has soundly defeated Commissioner Tina Hall in the race for the final spot on the GOP ticket in November. In unofficial results from Tuesday’s second primary Mitchell has 3,962 votes to Hall’s 951. That's 80.64 percent of the vote for Mitchell and 19.36 percent for Hall. With the win, Mitchell claims the third spot on the Republican ticket for county commissioner in the general election. “I’m very thankful to everyone who went out and voted today,” Mitchell said. “I’m thankful for the people who supported the campaign, and I’m just happy with the outcome.” On the hottest primary election day in years, voters were staying home — or in other cool places. Around the county, precinct workers had time to swap stories and wait for voters. There were two Republican races on the ballot and one statewide Democratic race, depending on the district. In all, 6,481 people cast ballots in the Republican and Democratic runoffs, for a vot-

Executive Director Dianne Scott is not only a familiar face. She’s a friend. “I hold a special place in my heart for Dianne,” says James “Bubba” Phillips, who is currently living in Eagles Nest, Rowan Helping Ministries’ transitional housing program, and eats lunch regularly in the soup kitchen. A cross keepsake box Phillips gave Scott is one of the items she still has to pack before her June 30 retirement. Phillips says it was a thank you gift for all that Scott has done for him. Just mention Scott to the people gathered before, during or after the noon lunch in the soup kitchen, and their faces light up. “She’s a wonderful person,” says Ronald Brown. “I don’t know the new director, but if she’s half as good as Dianne, it will be OK.” Damon Scott says Scott has been a constant source of encouragement for him. “She’s a great lady,” he says. “She

RALEIGH (AP) — Elaine Marshall won North Carolina’s Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate on Tuesday, triumphing over a rival that Washington insiders sought and supported. Marshall, North Carolina’s secretary of state, defeated former Army prosecutor Cal Cunningham in Tuesday’s second round of voting. With more than 90 percent of precincts reporting, Marshall had 60 percent of the vote. “It’s energizing when people listen to your message and support you,” an ecstatic Marshall said in an interview with The Associated Press after calling her mother to share the news. Cunningham quickly endorsed Marshall, telling supporters in his hometown of Lexington that Democrats needed to work together to defeat Republican Sen. Richard Burr in November. “Let’s make sure we’re behind her — each and every one of us,” he said. Marshall argued during her campaign that she has advocated on behalf of average citizens and fought against powerful industries. She portrayed herself as an outsider in

Commissioners approve incentive for Boral expansion BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
The Rowan County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved an incentive request Monday to help Boral US expand its operations in East Spencer. Boral US, the parent company of Boral Brick, is establishing a new production division called Boral Composites. The proposed 30,000-square-foot facility for this division would be located on the Boral Bricks property, which the company owns, located at 700 North Long St. in East Spencer. Brian Below, general manager

of Boral Composites, said the project is expected to create 10 jobs by the end of 2011 and a total of 25 new jobs after construction is complete. Another 15 jobs could be added after further expansion. According to RowanWorks Director Robert Van Geons, an estimated $12.8 million of new investment will be added to Rowan County’s tax base, with future growth adding another $4 million to $6 million. This would bring $1 million of new revenue to the county over the next 10 years. “This is a good project, a good company and a good opportunity for East Spencer and for this coun-

ty,” Van Geons said. The project meets the criteria for a “Level 1” grant, which is about 75 percent of the value of anticipated property tax revenue. Van Geons said that Boral is only requesting a grant of 70 percent. The proposed incentives would be paid over five years, starting in fiscal year 2012. It is estimated that for every $1 Rowan County provides, it will be matched by $2.70 of other support from the State of North Carolina and Duke Energy. Requests for funding have not yet been approved. Van Geons said the project is competitive, and Boral is considSarah ‘Susie’ Wallace Horace White James T. Petty Judy Alexander Carter David H. Price

He said there is a strong relationship with the community through Boral Brick, and the existing site has the space and infrastructure needed for the project. “There’s a skilled and able workforce here, and there’s training available through your local colleges,” Below said. “There’s ac-

N.C. Music Hall of Fame plans Idol exhibit, ceremony KANNAPOLIS — Young music fans may not know North Carolina music legends John Coltrane or James Taylor, but they probably can sing along with American Idol stars Clay Aiken and Kellie Pickler. North Carolina has a unique ability to generate American Idol contestants, including Aiken, who’s from Raleigh, and Pickler, who
grew up in Albemarle. To help attract younger visitors to the N.C. Music Hall of Fame in Kannapolis, organizers want to showcase five American Idol contestants who AIKEN hail from North Carolina: Aiken, Pickler, Fantasia from High
Point, Chris Daughtry from McLeansville and Bucky Covington from Rockingham. “They should be recognized,” said Bill Kopald, chairman for the N.C. Music Hall of Fame. “And that helps the younger demographic identify.” The Hall of Fame this week announced 13 new inductees, including Andy Griffith and Doc Watson. Not that the museum, housed in an old jail on West
A Street near the N.C. Research Campus, lacks visitors. Since it opened last summer, the museum has averaged between 250 and 400 visitors a week, thanks in large part to PICKLER tour groups. Admission is free. Memorabilia continues to
roll in as well. “It’s coming in every week,” said Kopald, who lives in Greensboro. “At the end of the month, we’re going to sit down and look at what we’ve got. I can’t even tell you all that we’ve got.” Kopald said he plans a bigger, better ceremony this year for the new inductees. More than half of the 13 inductees will attend, and several will perform. “It’s going to really be an event,” he said.
Tickets for the Oct. 7 dinner, ceremony and reception at the N.C. Research Campus will go on sale Sept. 1. The price has not been determined. Eddie Ray, 83, serves as the Hall of Fame’s operations director and vice chairman. An inductee himself, he often leads tour groups through the museum. Inductees include: • Performing artists

Kannapolis man solves break-ins
WHITE LIGHTNING
When a Kannapolis man’s homes were broken into, his family turned detective and solved the crime. Deputies from the R o w a n C o u n t y Sheriff’s Office responded to reported break-ins at YODERS two homes on Dogwood Drive in Kannapolis, both owned by Ben Purefoy Jr. Capt. John Sifford said Purefoy was in the process of moving and initially wasn’t sure of everything taken. The break-ins occurred between June 16 and 19. Items taken included a DVD player, shoes, boots SUBMITTED PHOTO
and a Sony Playstation. When Deputy P.J. Eagle asked Purefoy if he knew anybody who might have done it, Purefoy suggested a “Johnny” who had been staying next door. Eagle attempted to locate “Johnny,” but no one was at home. A short time later, Purefoy contacted the Sheriff’s Office to advise authorities he and his family had gone next door, gotten permission to search Johnny’s room and found many of the stolen items. Eagle charged Johnny Dale Yoders II, 22, with two counts of felony breaking and entering. He was placed in the Rowan County Detention Center with bond set at $25,000.

A wallet left in a stolen pickup led the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office to solve two breakins and arrest four people. Capt. John Sifford said a Ford Ranger, which had been stolen in a home breakin, was found Friday at Happy Lake off N.C. 152. The pickup had been taken from the Glenda OverCLARK cash home on Frontier Circle in China Grove. Overcash, who had been on vacation, returned home on June 14 to find her garage doors open, the pickup gone and her house ransacked. When deputies recovered the pickup, they got a bonus. In the console was a wallet belonging to Joshua Dimitri Clark, 18, of Dulin Avenue in China Grove. Sifford said investigators interviewed Clark, who also admitted to a June 12 break-in at Carolina ELIAS Paintball on Beaver Loop Road. More than $8,400 worth of paintball guns and supplies were taken. Most of the items were recovered at homes in China Grove and Kannapolis a day or so after the break-in. Clark apparently also shared with investigators the names of others involved. Deputies have charged Iman Julian SIDES Elias, 18, of 155 Dulin Ave., China Grove; David Scott Sides, of 1228 Brookwood Drive, China Grove; and Christian Aaron Reeves, 19, of 404 W. 14th St.,

Senior Services. Fahnestock said one of the benefits of allowing recipients to ride the county transit system would mean they could go to the grocery store and other non-medical facilities. The riders would be grouped together for appointments. For instance, those who have a doctor’s appointment with a specific physician would go on a specific day and around a certain time. Fahnestock expects the number of clients to exceed what the county system can currently support, which would still make the need for taxis and other transportation providers a possibility. Board member John Blair asked Fahnestock about his capacity without adding more vans. “We couldn’t handle all 483 at this current time,” Fahnestock said. Blair then asked about the flexibility of recipients who may not want to schedule a doctor’s appointment on a Thursday or other specific day that is chosen. “Basically they can take it or leave it?” Blair asked. Fahnestock said yes. He said clients can ride other transportation services including Rowan Express and Salisury Transit. “A lot of people are not going to fall into that schedule,” said board member Ruth Kennerly. Chairwoman Lillian Morgan inquired about the advantage to the client. “Of course we want to save the county money, but not at the expense of the client,” she said. Gary Price, Rowan Transit manager, said the problem comes from multiple people being at the same location transported by different vehicles when services could be combined. “We are gaining capacity by combining the services,” Price said. Kennerly questioned what happens if a client can’t get an appointment on the day the transportation service is running? Pat Spears, program administrator for the economic
services division that handles the Medicaid program, said the client has the option to take a taxi. Blair asked for the program change in writing as well as the impact on the client. “What’s the plan B? I would like to defer action,” he said. Blair asked that the board seek feedback from the community, like Charles Knox, with First Transportation who provides county contract transportation. Knox spoke during the meeting saying there was some changes he did not agree with in the plan. Blair said he did not want to implement this change without seeing a full report. Morgan said no vote was required. Wilkes assured the board it would take at least six to nine months to implement the changes and if the Rowan Transit System could not mesh clients into the program then taxi services would be available with a 12month contract. She said the board needs to move quickly so the program changes could be put in place by July 1. Board member Jim Sides said he didn’t feel taxis and other contracted providers would be drastically affected. Knox shook his head in disagreement, while both Wilkes and Fahnestock said providers would not be greatly affected.

MEDICAID FROM 2A the southern part of the county. Medicaid recipients can currently only utilize the Medicaid Transportation services for visits to the doctor and other medical facilities. Rowan County has 22,000 Medicaid recipients, but only 483 use the transportation service. Currently, recipients can travel in taxis, drive themselves, have a family member drive or travel via a contracted provider who is reimbursed. The county arranges for or provides transportation for Medicaid covered services if the recipient is unable to arrange and/or pay for transportation. “Most of our clients are connected to a taxi service or Rowan Transit,” Wilkes said. A contracted provider must submit a bid to the county and meet certain criteria before being considered. In 2006, the average cost to maintain this service was $288,336, with an average of 383 people served each month. This year, that amount is expected to climb to $514,116, with an monthly average of 483 passengers. The cost to operate has increased while the average ridership has not. Taxi providers charge $2.10. “I believe providers have kept the cost as low as they could,” Wilkes said. The number of Medicaid recipients is expected to increase, she said. The county pays for 50 percent of the cost for individual providers. The county’s share of Medicaid costs are $53,660. “We want to look at how this service can be provided more efficiently. Many counties contract out to the county transit system,” Wilkes said. If the changes are implemented, people who drive themselves would not be reimbursed and a surcharge would be put into place to cover the cost of Medicaid Transportation coordinator Janice Gray, who would be moved from the Social Services department to

RALEIGH (AP) — Leaders in small North Carolina towns worried they couldn’t have July 4 fireworks displays this year due to new safety training requirements could get a reprieve in legislation overwhelmingly approved by the House. The House agreed 112-1 on Tuesday on a bill allowing the state fire marshal to issue temporary licenses to veteran fireworks display operators who haven’t yet met the new standards. The Legislature approved the tougher requirements last year after an Independence Day blast on Ocracoke Island that killed four fireworks handlers. The measure, which needs one more positive House vote Wednesday before heading to the Senate, would create a 30day operator’s license. Small-town July 4 shows have been in jeopardy because it’s been hard to find licensed operators.

A call to Bettis was not immediately returned Tuesday afternoon.
Paul Lorraine Hobbs KANNAPOLIS — Paul Lorraine Hobbs, age 81, died Tuesday, June 22, 2010, at his home after a period of declining health. He was born April 20, 1929, in Cabarrus County, the son of the late Paul Monroe Hobbs and Sarah Hunsucker Hobbs. In earlier years, he was employed with the former Cannon Mills Company. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Erma Jean Hobbs, in 1978; and a brother, Franklin D. Hobbs, in 2009. Survivors include three sons, Anthony L. Hobbs and Timothy A. Hobbs, both of Greensboro, and Phillip L. Hobbs of Salisbury; a daughter, Paula J. Hobbs Skidmore of Kannapolis; and six grandchildren.

Contractor killed, 2 injured at Army post FORT BRAGG (AP) — A contractor working at a live fire drill was killed and two people were wounded in a training accident on Tuesday at Fort Bragg, military officials said. Authorities said in a statement that a range control contractor died at Womack Army Medical Center from a gunshot wound. A second range control contractor was shot and transported by air to UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill, where he is listed in critical condition. The two contractors were identified as employees of Echota Technologies Corp., which is located in Tennessee. A telephone call seeking comment was not immediately returned Tuesday evening. A third person was identified a soldier who is a student at the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School. Thomas said that soldier was grazed in the arm and taken to Womack for treatment. The identities of the three were not immediately released. “Something went terribly wrong,” said Tom McCollum, a Fort Bragg spokesman, at a news conference late Tuesday afternoon. “We have to find out what happened so that it doesn’t happen again.” The incident occurred around 1 p.m. on Range 77 during a drill using small arms. Army investigators were on the scene. McCollum, who had no specific details of the incident, said accidents like this are rare and the post has myriad safety precautions in place. He said live-fire exercises are necessary because they allow soldiers to train in a war-like environment.

Public financing deters unity on ethics package investigations surrounding former Democratic Gov. Mike Easley and his campaign that the bill’s supporters say left an ethical taint in government. “It’s hard to legislate morality, but we can try to legislate behavior,” said Sen. Steve Goss, D-Watauga, who helped write the bill, which could go to the Senate floor later this week. It would still have to be considered by the House. North Carolina already allows some publicly funded elections. Starting with the 2008 election, candidates for state auditor, insurance commissioner and superintendent of public instruction could accept fundraising restrictions in exchange for public funds to run their campaigns. A similar program for state Court of Appeals and Supreme Court candidates began in 2004. Republicans don’t like the public financing concept, which has largely been pushed through the Legislature by Democrats over the years. The latest proposal is worse, said
Sen. Pete Brunstetter, R-Forsyth, because it’s been inserted in a broader bill that most GOP senators otherwise endorse. Brunstetter tried unsuccessfully to pass an amendment to delete the public financing provision. “Overall it’s a good bill,” Brunstetter said, but “to drop it in to what is supposed to be the bipartisan ethics reform bill creates a partisan issue where we don’t need it and it takes our eyes off of fundamental ethics reform.” Democrats who drew up the bill said public financing already has shown to be one good way to address concerns that campaign donations influence policy, particularly in down-ballot races where those who contribute often are the same people who will be regulated by the eventual winner. “The problems of money in elections are not partisan problems,” said Sen. Dan Clodfelter, D-Mecklenburg. “We haven’t tried to make this partisan, although I can’t really control how others react to it.”
Winning catch disqualified
The measure puts Republicans in a difficult political position. GOP lawmakers can vote against the whole package but face being labeled by Democrats as unwilling to pass good government reforms in an election year. The GOP has been criticizing Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue and other Democrats for receiving what turned out to be illegal contributions. A donor, Wilmington businessman Rusty Carter, faced only misdemeanor charges for making what turned out to be $176,000 in illegal campaign donations to Perdue, Senate leader Marc Basnight, D-Dare, and Sen. Julia Boseman, D-New Hanover. The candidates weren’t aware of the wrongdoing. Campaigns are limited to receiving $4,000 per individual per election. To help pay for the expanded public financing, lawmakers would slightly increase several fees paid by insurance adjusters and securities dealers, and would raise the price of filings to form a corporation or limited liability company.
The measure also would essentially write into state law two Perdue executive orders: one that expands the number of executive branch officials covered by the state government ethics act, and another expanding a gift ban. The ban currently covers those that award state contracts and oversee state construction. Under the bill, it would include all public officers and employees. “It makes it easier for people to know that people aren’t making decisions because they’re angling for some job with a company,” said Jane Pinsky with the North Carolina Coalition for Lobbying and Government Reform. The bipartisan group, however, is neutral on the public financing provisions. The bill also would give media organizations and citizens a better chance to get the North Carolina government to pay their attorney fees in successful public records lawsuits. State and local governments also would be required to give out more information about an employee’s work history.
Supporters, opponents speak on puppy mill bill RALEIGH (AP) — Lawmakers and animal welfare activists are trying to regain momentum on a bill that would prevent commercial breeders in North Carolina from keeping dogs in unsanitary living conditions. Democratic Sen. Don Davis of Greene County joined the activists at a news conference on Tuesday to comment on the bill which the House finance committee will discuss this week. The Senate approved the bill last year, but it has laid dormant in a legislative committee since then. The bill requires breeders with at least 15 female dogs that are capable of giving birth and 30 puppies to be registered and meet care standards such as providing adequate daily exercise and housing. The bill was introduced after the seizure of almost 300 dogs in February 2009 from what authorities say was a puppy mill in Wayne County. More recently, a kennel owner in Greensboro was indicted on a dozen counts of cruelty to animals. Police seized about 100 dogs from the kennel in April. Representatives from the Humane Society of the United States, the Dale Earnhardt Jr. Foundation, the Ryan Newman Foundation and the North Carolina Animal Federation attended the news conference to show their support. Sen. Margaret Dickson of Cumberland County voiced her support for the bill. “How we treat our animals says a tremendous amount
“How we treat our animals says a tremendous amount about us as a people.” SEN. MARGARET DICKSON about us as a people,” she said. Davis said there is a hole in current animal welfare laws regarding dog breeders. “This is a business that is operating without much regulation at all,” he said. Davis, who had seen some of the animals that had been taken from the Wayne County breeder, recalled it being a horrific sight, with some animals suffering from ingrown nails that penetrated their skin. One of the dogs that had been rescued was in the audience and appeared to be in good health, Davis said. While Henri McClees, a lobbyist for the North Carolina Sporting Dog Association, said that treatment of dogs is important, she said there already
are laws in place to protect the animals. “One of the things that they object to about the current law is that you have to have probable cause in order to charge somebody with a crime,” McClees said. “That’s part of our constitutional protection.” She said the proposed legislation would create a hostile environment for breeders in which they would be constantly harassed. Steve Wallis, the president of the North Carolina Federation of Dog Clubs, agreed. “Our biggest fear is that they are trying to regulate dog breeding out of existence,” he said. Wallis said that to be classified as a breeder and be in compliance with the proposed legislation, people only have to own a certain number of dogs. Wallis said the definition should be based on how many dogs they sell, not how many dogs people own. He said it was not uncommon for people to co-own a female dog but for just one person to sell the puppies.

RALEIGH (AP) — Senate Democrats rolled out a wide-ranging ethics, public records and government reform package Tuesday, but a provision that would expand voluntary public financing in some election campaigns prevented the measure from getting initial bipartisan support. The bill approved by a judiciary panel would allow so-called “voterowned” elections to fill the offices of five additional members of the Council of State: the attorney general, treasurer, secretary of state and commissioners of agriculture and labor. The package also would make it a felony to give at least $10,000 in illegal campaign contributions in a single election, expand the number of government workers subject to ethics rules and require ex-lawmakers and elected officials to wait longer — one year after leaving office instead the current six months — before they can lobby state government. The legislation follows a year of

Below said it is a benefit that many of the Boral sites share. “Would you have considered Rowan County without an incentive?” Hall said. Below replied that incentives are always on the list of factors the company considers. “You have to take each instance independently and weigh the pros and cons,” he said. After commissioners approved the incentive grant by a 5-0 vote, Chairman Carl Ford said, “Thank you for the jobs.” The East Spencer Town Board of Aldermen and its zoning board of adjustment approved a conditional use permit and variance for the project in May. In an interview Tuesday, East Spencer Alderman John Noble said he was looking forward to the jobs and investment Boral Composites would bring. “It’s a good thing for the town,” Noble said. “I hope people will take advantage of the situation.

Kyna Foster will start work July 1 as the new executive director of Rowan Helping Ministries. Board of Directors Chairwoman Judy Banish says Foster’s past business experience and her compassionate desire to help others provide the perfect combination for the new leader of the nonprofit. “I know the Salisbury/Rowan community, volunteers and supporters of R o w a n Helping Ministries will enjoy working with Kyna,” FOSTER she says. Outgoing Executive Director Dianne Scott, who will retire on June 30, says there couldn’t be a better choice for her replacement than Foster. “I feel like she has the heart and a different set of skills that can take Rowan Helping Ministries to the next level,” she says. “I get comments all the time about her trying to fill my shoes, but I don’t want anybody filling my shoes. “The way I look at it is I’m carrying this baton and I’m running as fast as I can and she’s reaching back to take the baton from me and move forward. And she’s very capable of doing that. I think the community will love her.” Foster says she is honored “to have this opportu-

her as a kind, generous person,” he says. His wish for Scott on her retirement is to “just be able to sit back, relax and have a good life.” The people she has worked so diligently to help seem to agree that Scott has earned it many times over. Shelia Hargrave, another soup kitchen client, says she plans to attend the retirement reception being held in Scott’s honor Friday at the F&M Trolley Barn. Open to the public, the reception will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Anyone who wishes may make a donation in Scott’s honor to Rowan Helping Ministries. Every time she gets frightened by her current situation, Hargrave says Scott reassures her and tells her that everything will turn out OK. And they pray together, she says. Sharon Barger, business and human resources manager for Rowan Helping Ministries, has worked with Scott for the past 12 years. “I’m sad to see her go because it’s like losing my best friend,” she says. “I respect her as an employer and love her as a friend.” Rowan Helping Ministries had been in its headquarters at 226 N. Long St. for only a year when Scott was hired as executive director on July 1 of 1990. She came to Salisbury from Spartanburg, S.C., where she had served as director of a teen center for eight years. “Before that, I was a community volunteer and stayat-home mom,” Scott says. She quit her job doing leukemia research at the Southern Research Institute in Birmingham, Ala., after giving birth to triplets. “There were 25 sets of twins on my father’s side and eight on my mother’s,” she says. “My younger sisters were twins, but this was the first set of triplets. “Somebody said I prayed too hard for twins and got blessed with a third.” All three were in college
Methodist Church Education Building and cover such areas as stress management, creativity, food preparation, anger management, resume writing, interviewing skills, dress attire, yoga, life coaching and Bible study. Scott says working at Rowan Helping Ministries has been a privilege for her. “I feel like every day I’m blessed,” she says. “I am so touched by the many people that give and that volunteer. ... Most of all, I’m touched by those who are seeking our services and how appreciative they are. “You become friends with them even though maybe you’re not supposed to. When I read their prayer requests, it’s amazing how faith-based they are and how really and truly, their problems are bigger than the clothing or groceries or the meal that they’re asking for.” Scott says staff and volunteers lift up program recipients’ prayer requests several times a week. “We’ll do it in staff meetings,” she says, “and the churches that volunteer here are given some of the prayer requests for them to lift up in prayers.” During her time at Rowan Helping Ministries, Scott says she has seen donors, volunteers and staff affected by the failing economy. “It’s affecting everybody in the community,” she says. Scott says people who would have never thought it could happen to them have had to turn to Rowan Helping Ministries for help. Judy Banish, who chairs the Rowan Helping Ministries Board of Directors,

when Scott was hired by Rowan Helping Ministries, and she kept her house in Spartanburg for them to return to on weekends and rented an apartment here. Scott had never been to Salisbury before applying at Rowan Helping Ministries. Though she had volunteered in a soup kitchen, she had never set foot in a homeless shelter before. “But I knew the nonprofit world,” she says, “and I loved the mission of ‘Putting God’s Love into Action.’ That’s our slogan here.” There were seven staff members at Rowan Helping Ministries when Scott came on board. Now there are 31. “When I first started, volunteers were pretty much doing everything,” she says. “As we’ve grown, we have found the need for staff to coordinate the services of the volunteers and to provide the training that they need and the resources that they need to provide the services. Volunteers are still the key component of the ministry.” The annual budget was $185,000 when Scott took over as executive director. “Now it’s almost $2 million,” she says. Rowan Helping Ministries has expanded to include a branch in the western end of the county. Rowan Helping Ministries West opened in the former Mount Ulla Volunteer Fire Department building two years ago. The New Tomorrows program, which offers classes on practical life skills to shelter guests, has also been added. Classes are held in the Park Avenue United

says she was working with the American Red Cross when Scott first came to town. “I thought she seemed to have great poise and class,” she says, “and a true desire to help others. Now, 20 years later, I still think the same. ... “Dianne has truly become the face, the heart and soul and the hands helping to put ‘God’s Love into Action’ every day since then.” Dr. Wink Cline, former board chairman, says Scott “has shown us the true value and rewards of serving those less fortunate and our obligation to those in crisis. We will miss her greatly, but her legacy at Rowan Helping Ministries is the foundation for an even stronger organization for the future needs of our community.” Linda Bailey, who also served previously as board chair, says Scott’s leadership has kept the community focused on the needy. “She is the force behind the millions of dollars raised in the last 20 years at Rowan Helping Ministries,” she says. “She is the same friend to the poor as she is to the powerful.” Growing up in Greenwood, Miss., Scott says her dream was to be a medical missionary in the Belgian Congo. Some missionaries from there would visit the First Presbyterian Church where she was a member. “I just loved it when they would visit and share what was going on,” she says. As it turned out, Scott ended up marrying a doctor instead of becoming one. (They have since divorced.) “And my mission work ended up being in my own back yard,” she says. As for her retirement plans, Scott says she plans “to do nothing” for six months. “But knowing me, I can’t do nothing,” she says, laughing. “I hope to reconnect with family and friends, travel, spend time with my grandchildren and get to know them.” Scott’s three children and their families all live in North Carolina, one in Raleigh, one in Boone and one in Morganton. She has eight grandchildren, seven boys and one girl. Contact Kathy Chaffin at 704-797-4249.

8A Ideas for what to do with summer’s bounty WEDNESDAY June 23, 2010
SALISBURY POST

Right about now farmers market devotees start coming home with more than they know what to do with, simply because it’s all so beautiful. But an unusually good crop of producecentered cookbooks offers inventive ways to use the bounty to its best advantage. Susie Middleton’s “Fast, Fresh and Green” injects your cooking with a little “Huah!!” and offers a strategy for decoding and deploying a greater variety of vegetables. Built around foundation recipes for eight different cooking techniques such as grilling, roasting and sauteing, the book teaches home cooks how to handle different vegetables, and then offers suggestions for enlivening them. Roasted cauliflower gets a Moroccan feel from orange zest and olives and the simple sassy slaw strikes a Southwest note with lime, cilantro and Serrano peppers (technique: No Cooking). Great book for vegephobics or people stuck in a steamed broccoli rut. “Cooking from the Garden” by Ruth Lively features more than 200 recipes that aim to move the greens from your backyard to your table with minimal fuss. With the big, blocky look of an elementary school textbook, the book offers quick, comfy fare like tomatoes in shallot-flavored cream (cooking time about 5 minutes), stir-fried shrimp with asparagus, and chicken pot pie with rosemary biscuits. Home gardeners will appreciate the section on turning your piles of borage and lemon verbena into herbal teas. To answer the inevitable “But what do you do with it?” that comes after discovering some new treat at the market, Sur La Table’s “Eating Local” ingeniously organizes recipes according to ingredient. Fava beans? Toss them with corn and bacon for a smoky succotash. Kohlrabi? Saute with butter and dill. Enticing preparations will also get you over the hump of making the same things over and over. Beets join up with tahini for a rich, creamy dip, while their tops are sauteed and served with whipped feta. The book gets a big dose of soul — and a warm fuzzy feeling about eating local — from lushly photographed farmer profiles. Cathy Thomas’ “Melissa’s Everyday Cooking with Organic Produce” also is organized by ingredient, but caters to broader tastes. Created by Melissa’s World Variety Produce, one of the country’s leading distributors, recipes such as chicken breast with apricots and green bean casserole hit a comforting note. Packed with nutritional information, tips on selecting and storing produce, and discussions of different varieties this is a handy, general guide for all things fruit and vegetable. Several single-subject books let cooks plow the produce into their passions. In “Tomato,” heirloom guru Lawrence DavisHollander showcases the sultry balance of sweet and acid in summer’s most eagerly awaited fruit with more than 150 recipes from well-known chefs, including Daniel Boulud, Alice Waters and Deborah Madison. Standards like fried green tomatoes and traditional marinara sauce mingle with Middle Eastern “pizza” spiked with allspice and rabbit paella bursting with heirlooms. Tarts stacked with orange, yellow, red and green gems are the stuff of bakery windows. An indispensable guide for tomato lovers. And lest you think salad is boring, chef Andrew Swallow’s “Mixt Salads” offers in-
‘Recipes From an Italian Summer’ novative flavor and texture combinations that propel the genre beyond a bowl of cold vegetables. Organized according to season, a spring salad of English peas and morels gets goosed up with watercress and aged sherry vinegar. And perhaps summer’s most seductive salad is a gentle cascade of lamb’s lettuce caressed by floral lychees and the fresh, green essence of cucumbers. For your sweet tooth, “Farmers’ Market Desserts” by Jennie Schacht offers more than 50 recipes for all those berries, plums and peaches. Amid traditional recipes for pies and buckles, surprises like easy chocolate cherry cupcakes frosted with chocolate sour cream icing and chilled plum soup with sour cream give summer’s candy a showstopping twist. With recipes for petite salted caramel apples and ginger pear skillet cake, the book will also take you into autumn and throughout the year. When you’re feeling whimsical and Italian, “Recipes from an Italian Summer” is a massive tome from the publishers of “The Silver Spoon.” The book conjures picnics and countryside meals. A rustic vegetable tart packs in summer’s bountiful Swiss chard, spinach, zucchini and leeks, and a cold corn and mozzarella salad contrasts crunchy green peppers with springy cheese and sweet corn. As with most of Phaidon’s books, head notes telling users what to expect from each recipe are absent, but stick with ingredients you like and experiment. • • • “Fast, Fresh and Green” by Susie Middleton (Chronicle Books, 2010) “Cooking from the Garden” by Ruth Lively (Taunton Press, 2010) “Eating Local,” Sur La Table with Janet Fletcher (Andrews McMeel, 2010) “Melissa’s Everyday Cooking with Organic Produce” by Cathy Thomas (Wiley Hardcover, 2010) “Tomato: A Fresh-from-the-Vine Cookbook” by Lawrence Davis-Hollander (Storey Publishing, 2010) “Mixt Salads” by Andrew Swallow with Ann Volkwein (Ten Speed Press, 2010) “Farmers’ Market Desserts” by Jennie Schacht (Chronicle Publishing, 2010) “Recipes From an Italian Summer,” (Phaidon Press, 2010)

Meet Cathy Reynolds of Bluebird Farms B Y K ATHERINE J ONES For The Salisbury Post
All the senses were tantalized at the Farmers Market this past Saturday. The beautiful vegetables, plants, flowers, baked goods and crafts were a sight to behold. The soothing sound of musician C.J. Peters as he sang and played the guitar was very pleasing to the ears. Heather Jones conducted a cooking demonstration and the delicious smell of onions and peppers reached my nose from any location in the market. The foods Heather prepared passed the taste test with flying colors. I thumped a watermelon, squeezed a cantaloupe and tomato, rubbed a plant leaf and popped a green bean in order to touch and feel the texture or ripeness. What a great way to begin a day. There was a stunning amount and variety of locally grown produce last week, but corn and tomatoes were probably the most favored by the market patrons. Fresh blackberries and raspberries made an appearance as well as all types of squash and peppers along with cucumbers and green beans. Ex-
pect the same this week and even more. • • • This week we introduce you to Cathy Reynolds of Bluebird Acres Farm. When you meet Cathy it does not take long to recognize the energy and passion she has for growing and showcasing her plants, flowers and herbs. Everything she grows is started in her greenhouse from seeds or cuttings. Seeds are ordered early and she begins planting in late January. Cathy does a lot of research in order to provide some unusual plants not generally offered by other growers. Cathy retired from the Salisbury-Rowan School System after more than thirty years in the classroom teaching science and math. She and her husband, Ron, live on 17 acres in Rowan County, but she only uses about one acre for her plant projects and her personal vegetable garden. Each summer Cathy finds time to freeze and can her own produce. Her endeavor with plants began in 2007 when she decided to grow
the flowers used for her daughter’s wedding reception. The project was so successful that it developed into the current operation it is today. Check out her many potted plants, herbs, containers and cut flowers. Remember that you can now use your debit or credit cards at the Farmers Market. Also, WIC and Senior Vouchers are accepted as well as Food Stamps. • • • Katherine Jones is a Master Gardner Volunteer for the Cooperative Extension Service in Rowan County. She and Sue Davis provide a Farmers Market update each week. • • • For more information about the Farmers Market, visit www.salisburyfarmersmarket.com. The Farmers Market is located in downtown Salisbury at the corner of South Main and Bank streets. It is open Wednesday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon.

Ask Amy: Depressed daughter wants more support Dear Amy: My daughter is 30 years old. She moved 2,000 miles away with her boyfriend (he broke up with her last year). She has bad credit. Six years ago my husband and I bought a one-bedroom condominium for her to live in. She promised to pay rent. Three years ago we bought her a used car. We send ASK her money for AMY Christmas and on her birthdays. She has never paid us any rent and we don’t pressure her for it. She told me she only works part time. Her psychologist told us she has depression. She has been on medication. Two years ago I found out that she was using marijuana. I asked her to stop, but she said it helps with her depression. She does not want my advice. The
only thing she wants from me is money. Last month I found out that she rented out the condo to a friend. She used that money to move to a place that allowed pets (she got two dogs). She told me she had to move because she was depressed and did not get along with a neighbor. She said she cannot afford to pay her rent. She is begging me to bail her out. What more can I do? — Kaycee Dear Kaycee: So far you have enabled your depressed daughter to live a very marginal life, with no prospects for change as long as you supply her with enough money. I have never heard that marijuana is a recommended treatment for depression. My amateur guess is that this drug could make her depression worse. You should go out to visit her, meet with her psychologist, either sell the condo or find your own tenants, and come up with a completely different course of action — one
that divests you of financial support. Rather than fund her lifestyle 2,000 miles away, if she is so marginal and needy that she cannot make it on her own, she might need to live in a group home with on-site counseling and job training. However, your daughter sounds quite enterprising when she wants to be. Maybe some of the energy she spent subletting your home could be used toward working harder and paying her own way. It is hard to watch someone flounder. But it is worse to actually help her to fail. Tell her that from now on, you’ll give her love and emotional support, but no more cash.
have moved three times in four years, and for the last two years, most of our things have been in storage. I would love for someone to buy some jewelry for my youngest, but if necessary we could buy something for her. However, we cannot buy the savings bond because we are desperately paying off debt after a job layoff. The savings bond was a considerable amount and it has had almost 10 years to gain interest. How can we get this family member to purchase a savings bond for our youngest and how do we make up the eight years of interest? — Wondering
Dear Amy: I have two wonderful children, ages 9 and 7. When my elder child was born, we received nice gifts for her from family members, including jewelry and savings bonds. When my younger child was born, she received none of these things. I didn’t catch this because we
Dear Wondering: You can’t get a family member to purchase a gift for your child. I agree with you that it would be nice for both children to have savings, but it seems strange that they would reach near adolescence before you had realized the inequity. I applaud your choice to pay
down debt. Perhaps you could apply that same discipline and set aside $1 or $2 a week for your youngest — and build up a nice little fund for this child over time. Dear Amy: “Grandma” wondered whether it was right for a young friend to pressure her daughter for baby equipment and clothes. You suggested Craigslist and Freecycle as good resources for used baby stuff, but you forgot about garage sales! — Frugal Dear Frugal: Garage sales are a great source for household goodies.

Let me offer up my face as our experimental laboratory. I’ll report back with everything you need to know. In the meantime, here are other ways in which you just might be able to cut the cost of your personal care: • Free dental care. Our local community college has a dental hygiene program that offers free dental cleanings. The dental students need a certain number of clinical hours to complete their degrees, so they need patients to practice on. The cleanings are supervised by an instructor and a
dentist, so patients get quality care. This is a great way to save money while making sure you get routine dental cleanings. — Joan B., New York
day. It doesn’t smudge, nor does it get stiff or become a problem in bad weather. No one has guessed my secret because my hair looks so natural. — Veronica E., e-mail
• Mascara magic. I usually have a professional touch up my hair coloring once a month, but I’ve learned how to cover up my gray so I can stretch my coloring appointments to three months if I have to. I do my own mini touch-ups with cheap mascara. I choose a color of mascara that matches my hair color, and I use the small wandshaped brush to apply the makeup lightly around my hairline. The color stays on all
• Lotion motion. When my lotion tube or face cream tube gets low, I cut the tube in half. That way, I can reach down into the cream that is left at the bottom and get the remaining product out easily. I can use every drop of the cream or lotion without having it dry out. — M.S., Alabama

COLLEGES ADJUST TO CHANGES
Seismic shifts for higher ed ising costs, globalization, branding, technology, environmentalism, accountability, changing demographics — those are some of the megatrends shaping higher education, according to Dr.Craig Turner, president of Catawba College. Higher education is not alone. The forces Turner mentioned at a Salisbury Rotary Club meeting Tuesday are challenging virtually every established business, many directly, and all magnified by the recession. The impact that colleges and universities are feeling has parallels across the board — in banking, news, supermarkets, retail sales, truck manufacturing, construction, you name it. All are trying to get sure footing on ever-shifting sands. But education is the bedrock on which industry builds, and higher education is undergoing seismic shifts. One major change concerns students’ higher education choices — private or public? In years past, wealthy families directed their children and funds toward private colleges and universities, Turner said. Now many are just as likely to choose a public institution. The average income of families sending their young people to flagship public universities is higher than the average income for families going the private route, according to Turner. So institutions like Catawba are hearing from more lower-income students who cannot afford tuition; in fact, a good portion qualify for government Pell grants. That makes raising tuition especially dicey. And high-priced textbooks are increasingly problematic. Turner says this fall the school store will offer to rent books to students rather than buy. The impact of technology is equally farreaching — as an expense, a tool and a threat. Turner did not mention this, but some have predicted that the rise of more online schools like Phoenix University and the increasing demand for online education could eliminate the need for sprawling college campuses with scores of classrooms — or at least decrease demand for them enough to force some closures. That sounds extreme. The college experience does not all happen in classrooms. And the people who lead those classes — learned instructors working face-to-face with students, counseling them during office hours and being a part of campus life — should not be minimized. Direct classroom instruction is not the only way people learn, but it is a crucial way. The challenges facing higher education are daunting. One report on the subject summed up the situation in its title: “The Future of Higher Education — Sunrise or Perfect Storm?” And that was published in 2005, before the recession.

SALISBURY POST
The life and death of a true believer une 18, 2010 marked the 70th anniversary of Charles de Gaulle’s historic call to arms for the French to resist the Nazis and also Winston Churchill’s “finest hour” address. Another anniversary might have gone unnoticed were it not for a brilliant new biography of a man who gave his life in a failed plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler. “Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy” by Eric Metaxas, is a major biography of this giant of faith published 65 years after his death. CAL Bonhoeffer came from a family of intellectuals. THOMAS His father was Germany’s leading psychiatrist. His siblings succeeded in their chosen fields. Dietrich became a theologian to the surprise and initial disappointment of his parents and puzzlement of his siblings. Twice Bonhoeffer visited the United States. On the first occasion he studied at the liberal Union Theological Seminary in New York where he met the theological giants of the time, including Reinhold Niebuhr. Bonhoeffer quickly tired of the “God-lite” theology at Union and decided to visit churches that held more substantive beliefs. He discovered an AfricanAmerican church in Harlem where Adam Clayton Powell Sr. preached riveting sermons and people joyfully worshipped God as if they actually believed He exists. Bonhoeffer’s theology might be summed up in a letter he wrote in 1936 to his brother-in-law, Rudiger Schleicher:
J
“One cannot simply read the Bible, like other books. One must be prepared really to enquire of it. Only thus will it reveal itself. Only if we expect from it the ultimate answer, shall we receive it.” Bonhoeffer struggled over whether to join the conspiracy to assassinate Hitler and that struggle is chronicled in Metaxas’ book. His may have been a simple faith surrounded by theological muscle, but its application — which he knew might cost him his life — was a classic struggle of flesh vs. spirit faced by all who seek to take God seriously. Metaxas writes of the attempt by Hitler to create a state church that would give him moral cover for German theolo- his immoral acts, esgian Dietrich pecially his goal of exBonhoeffer is the terminating Jews. The subject of a new willingness of so many to sign on to this biography. rogue and apostate church warns us moderns about the dangers of a church that is more interested in advancing an earthly political agenda than the Kingdom of God. Clerics are seen sieg-heiling and speaking lovingly of their fuhrer with a reverence that convicts them of spiritual adultery. Bonhoeffer bravely stood against them as he participated in the formation of the “Confessing Church,” which, among other things, spoke up for
the Jews. The high regard in which the Bonhoeffer family was held in Germany and their supreme intellect temporarily protected Dietrich from the hands of the Gestapo. Inevitably he was arrested, but even then he won the respect of prison guards, who offered him special treatment, which he refused. Further complicating things and adding to his temptation to live was that he had fallen in love with a young woman, 18 years his junior. Their love letters, mostly written when Dietrich was in prison, are riveting. Metaxas writes, “Bonhoeffer thought it the plain duty of a Christian — and the privilege and honor —- to suffer with those who suffered.” That’s why he considered it both privilege and honor to be executed at the Flossenburg Concentration Camp on April 9, 1945, where his body was burned in a pile of bodies, many of which were likely Jewish. The doctor at the camp said he had never seen anyone die with such peace. Two weeks later, the Allies marched into Flossenburg. A week after that, Hitler committed suicide in his Berlin bunker. Bonhoeffer’s memorial service at Holy Trinity Church in London on July 27, 1945, was broadcast in Germany where his parents listened. The sermon by Bonhoeffer’s longtime friend, Bishop George Bell, is reprinted in the book. In an age (then and now) full of “cheap grace,” here is a book that will challenge Christians and non-Christians alike. Few books can claim to be a “must-read.” This is one. • • • Contact Cal Thomas at tmseditors @tribune.com.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Graduation ‘prank’ was offensive
Why are we subsidizing Hollywood? R
ALEIGH — Poor Brad Pitt. And what about that sad fellow Steven Spielberg? Times are tough everywhere. They need more money. And thanks to the North Carolina General Assembly, it looks as if the North Carolina taxpayer is going to come through. The state House was expected to pass legislation this week that would extend some tax breaks to a range of industries in an attempt to lure new business to the state. The biggest beneficiary could be Hollywood and the move-making industry. In total, the tax break legislation could be worth $300 million over five years. But really, it’s a guess. SCOTT State legislators have felt MOONEYHAM compelled to increase incentives designed to bring film productions here because other states have been doing likewise. North Carolina recently lost out on some high-profile films shot in other states that offered more lucrative incentives. Just last year, legislators increased incentives for moviemakers by allowing them to take a tax credit worth up to 25 percent of their expenses. The earlier credit stood at 15 percent. But the law still caps the amount of tax credit at $7.5 million and limits per-person wages considered in the calculation at $1 million. So even if old Brad was paid $20 million, the formula requires that $19 million of that salary be excluded in figuring the film company’s total tax rebate. Hollywood wants the caps and wage calculations gone. The legislation being considered
would cap total tax credits at $20 million and eliminate the per-person wage limit. No wonder Buzz Lightyear is flying high again. Supporters of the legislation point out that the state only pays if the business comes. There is no real loss to tax coffers, they say, because the money going out is only a portion of what is being generated by businesses that wouldn’t otherwise come here. That’s not exactly true regarding the moviemaking incentives. The film production companies qualify for tax credits, not deductions, meaning they could theoretically get a rebate regardless of whether they have any tax liability here. A study conducted by the Arrowhead Center at New Mexico State University suggested that incentives offered in that state produced just 14 cents in tax revenue for every dollar offered by the state. Bob Orr, the head of the N.C. Institute for Constitutional Law and an incentive critic, also points out another objectionable aspect to the movie incentives: these aren’t permanent jobs. How much are these film productions really worth to the broader N.C. economy, to the permanent residents of the state? Or is this just about being able to say that Daniel Day-Lewis romped around the North Carolina mountains wearing buckskins and feathers in his hair? At what level do incentives to moviemakers no longer become cost effective? If we haven’t reached that level, then legislators at least owe it to taxpayers to know when the tipping point will be reached. And if other states want to wholly subsidize Hollywood, so be it. • • • Scott Mooneyham writes about state government for Capitol Press Association.
I would like to comment on the West Rowan High School graduation article on the front page of the June 12 Salisbury Post. This is my first letter to the editor, but after reading about the incident at the graduation, I was just wondering whether anyone else felt the same as I did about the use of the “F” word. It saddens me and also offends and makes me angry that this kind of language is so common these days with teenagers and even younger children. I’m sure that most people, young and old, got a chuckle out of this “prank,” but it truly offends me that this would take place at such a public event. I suppose if the speaker had mentioned Jesus or made some comment about Muslims or some minority, there would be a huge backlash. I don’t know whether the speaker didn’t realize the “F” word was there (in the speech) or not, but I wonder what the punishment, if any, would be if this had not happened at the very end of the school year. I think of John Wooden who recently passed away. One of his rules was “absolutely no profanity,” and he wouldn’t tolerate it. I pray for these young people and all our youth who choose to use such vulgar language that they will one day “see the light,” as the old song goes. — Bonnie Small Salisbury

Gas cap, tire check: Don’t let fuel savings leak away Center for the Environment
id you know that if you have a leaking gas cap, it can cost you $80 per year? And if your tires are not inflated right, it can cost you another $150? Besides the wasted money, the wasted gasoline causes air pollution, which impacts peoples’ health. Each leaking gas cap causes 200 pounds of pollution per year, and each car with soft tires, another 400 pounds. If everyone in the United States inflated his or her tires correctly and had tight gas caps, we would save between 16 and 17 million gallons of gasoline per day. That is 16 times the amount of gasoline our country could have made from the oil leaking into the Gulf everyday from the BP well disaster. Soft tires and leaking gas caps cost families over $16 billion dollars per year.
D
The Center for the Environment at Catawba College will partner with Mecklenburg Air Quality Program, Rowan-Cabarrus Community College (RCCC) and Intimidator Stadium to test gas caps for leaks and to check tire pressure from 4 p.m.-7 p.m. on Friday at Intimidator Stadium in Kannapolis, before the Intimidators take on Augusta. Fleet owners as well as individuals may bring their vehicles by for the emissions and tire pressure checks. Gas caps that fail the test will be replaced free of charge. RCCC’s Automotive Department will also check emissions systems on all vehicles made after 1996. In addition, the first 200 people will receive free tire gauges. Fans who go through the gas-cap check can also receive $2 off the baseball game ticket price.

RUNOFF FROM 1A voter turnout of 7.22 percent, according to the Board of Elections website. That’s a better turnout than the projected 6 percent, but still not close to the first primary’s already low figure of 15 percent. Jack Thomson, director of the Historic Salisbury Foundation, said he was the 92nd voter at the Rowan Public Library headquarters around 7:15 p.m. “This turnout is an embarrassment,� Thompson said. “I understand that when the ballot has so few races, it may be difficult to engage the electorate, but I consider this to be an important election.� Mitchell, 34, said he was glad that the turnout was at least higher than expected. Compared to the May 4 primary, Mitchell gained about 500 votes and Hall lost about 2,000. Mitchell won every precinct in the county except East Spencer, where he and Hall got one vote apiece, according to the Rowan County Board of Elections website. Mitchell said he thought Hall ran a great campaign and didn’t know why the difference in their vote totals was so large. “I expected a much closer race, to be honest with you,� he said. “I think the difference is surprising.� He said he hopes his campaign can continue its success in the Nov. 2 general election. He is seeking his third term on the Rowan County Board of Commissioners. “It’s been our goal since fil-
ing — and it continues to be our goal — to have a successful election in November, so that’s what we’re hoping for,� he said. He will be celebrating his win in Florida with his wife, Allison. Mitchell wasn’t figuring on a second primary, and the couple had booked a rental for vacation this week. Since they paid for it, Mitchell’s wife went on to Florida, and he plans to go today. Mitchell waited for election results Tuesday with his mother and grandfather in the board room of the Cohen administration building. Hall, 59, stopped by just before 8:30 p.m., when slightly less than half of the precincts had reported, to greet supporters. When she saw that Mitchell was leading with more than 80 percent of the vote, she shook his hand to congratulate him before leaving. Hall said she was happy for Mitchell. She thanked those who supported her own campaign, especially her family. “I appreciate those that did come out to vote for me today,� Hall said. “I certainly appreciate their support both today and in the May primary as well.� She said she is focusing on the remainder of her current term as a county commissioner, and she will represent the residents of Rowan County to the best of her ability. “That’s what I’m elected to do, and that’s what I will continue to do,� Hall said. “It’s an honor and a privilege.� The election was a competition, she said, and in competitions you do your best but don’t always win. Now, Hall

She said she was encouraging people to vote and trying to meet as many voters as she could.
Hall previously had a perfect record in primaries. She won both previous primaries she entered while a Democratic candidate. Earlier this year she switched her registration to Republican and filed for her second term on the Board of Commissioners. Mitchell has one blemish on his primary score card, losing to Fred Steen for the GOP nomination for the N.C. House. After Tuesday, he has four wins and one loss, in-
cluding his runs for the U.S. House. He has now participated in his sixth primary and 12th election overall since he first ran for the Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education in 1996. Mitchell spent much of his time Tuesday standing in front of the American Legion building in his hometown of Faith, shaking hands and handing out cards. Some voters were passionate in their support of the
candidates, while others weren’t as sure of their decision. As Addie Reamer left the Rowan Public Library headquarters Tuesday evening, she said family members had told her not to vote for Tina Hall. “I don’t know much about it, but I did vote for Chad Mitchell,� Reamer said. “My family told me it was very important for Rowan County’s future to vote for him.�
Johnson, Randall, Dority win N.C. GOP House runoffs RALEIGH (AP) — Voters chose a retired Charlotte television sportscaster for a North Carolina Republican congressional nomination Tuesday over a former Army paratrooper who fell out of favor with the state’s GOP establishment when details from his personal life surfaced. Harold Johnson defeated former body armor company executive Tim D’Annunzio in the 8th Congressional District runoff and will take on first-term Democratic Rep. Larry Kissell, who beat Republican incumbent Robin Hayes two years ago. Johnson had 61 percent of the vote compared to 39 percent for D’Annunzio, according to complete, unofficial results. In two other GOP congressional runoffs, Bill Randall defeated Bernie Reeves for the right to challenge Democratic Rep. Brad Miller in the 13th District and Greg Dority narrowly defeated
Scott Cumbie in the 12th District, with the winner taking on Democratic Rep. Mel Watt. Randall had 59 percent compared to 41 percent for Reeves, while Dority had 52 percent compared to 48 percent for Cumbie, with all precincts reporting. The runoffs were needed because the leading candidate in each May 4 primary race failed to receive more than 40 percent of the vote. D’Annunzio spent $1.3 million of his own money to run an antiestablishment campaign vowing to dismantle entire branches of the federal government and winning the backing of some tea party activists. Johnson, who finished second to D’Annunzio in the six-person May primary, was helped by state Republican leaders who lined up behind him after details of D’Annunzio’s personal life surfaced from a divorce case.
SENATE FROM 1A the race despite holding statewide office for more than a decade. Paula Suttles, a teacher from Charlotte, said both Marshall and Cunningham were good candidates. “But Elaine has more experience than Cunningham,� said Suttles, 44. “I know it’s not the popular thing to
Johnson told supporters in Concord that the 8th District, which stretches across several south-central counties between Charlotte and Fayetteville, has lost more than 25,000 jobs while Kissell has been in office, and Democrats don’t have a plan to fix it. “I’m going to work as hard as I can to win this seat back and hopefully go to Washington with some ideas, just to get this country back on track,� Johnson said in a phone interview. “I think the key issue is jobs, jobs, jobs.� Records show that D’Annunzio’s wife said in 1995 that he had claimed to be the Messiah and had traveled to New Jersey to raise his stepfather from the dead. A doctor’s evaluation at the time also said D’Annunzio used marijuana, and a judge wrote a few years later he willfully failed to make child support payments. D’Annunzio acknowl-
say this year, but experience matters. You have to have competent people in office.� The results were a blow to Democratic Party leaders in Washington who recruited Cunningham to the race and spent more than $100,000 to boost his campaign. Cunningham, a Lexington attorney seeking to become the first Iraq War veteran in the Senate, had argued that he was the best candidate to defeat Burr.
edges having “a troubled upbringing� but said he changed his life with a religious conversion. He had blamed the media, the Republican establishment and Johnson for trying to defeat him. D’Annunzio said in a prepared statement he’s leaving the door open for future political runs but that he won’t endorse Harold Johnson “and his underhanded campaign tactics. What he’s done is a continuation of politics as usual.� William Andersen, a 52year-old rental manager from Concord, said he voted for Johnson. He said he had been leaning toward D’Annunzio, until “all those dumb details� emerged about the candidate’s messy divorce. “He seemed like the conservative force we needed to take back Washington. But he turned out to be a disappointment,� said Andersen, who characterized himself
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which backed Cunningham’s campaign, immediately sent out a statement praising Marshall. “She is a proven reformer who has taken on the special interests in her state, and has cracked down on lobbyist activity, insurance company abuses, and excess on Wall Street,� said New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez, the committee chairman.
as a member of the tea party. The state Democratic Party tried to link Johnson to D’Annunzio by pointing to a radio interview in which Johnson said each would vote basically the same way if elected. “His admission that he shares the extreme views of his right-wing primary opponent is downright scary and something that should give pause to voters,� party executive director Andrew Whalen said. In the 13th District, which includes parts of Raleigh, Greensboro and five counties near the Virginia state line, magazine publisher Reeves and retired Navy officer Randall wanted to take on Miller, who is seeking his fifth term. Randall received 135 more votes than Reeves in the four-candidate primary. Randall suggested last week someone should investigate whether BP and the U.S.
The extended primary has already left the Democrats starved for cash. Cunningham reported just $100,000 in campaign cash at the beginning of June while Marshall reported slightly less than $200,000. Burr, meanwhile, had stockpiled nearly $5 million as of the middle of April. Burr easily defeated his primary opponent in May and said Tuesday night that the Democratic race has shown that voters will decide in No-
government colluded to cause the oil leak. He attempted to back off the statement the next day. Randall said in a phone interview Tuesday night he believed his statements were mischaracterized by those who said he was casting aspersions on the Obama administration. Watt’s GOP opponent in the fall will be Dority, a security firm executive from Washington, N.C., which is more than three hours away from the 12th District. Congressional candidates don’t have to live in their districts. Cumbie, a Winston-Salem computer storage specialist, led the three-candidate primary with 39.5 percent of the vote. Watt has been comfortably re-elected over the years. Watt was first elected in 1992 to the heavily Democratic 12th District, which straddles Interstate 85 from Charlotte to the Triad.
vember between “two vastly different directions for our country.� Election officials estimated that 150,000 to 175,000 people participated Tuesday’s runoff elections that also included a few congressional races. Some 425,000 voted in the Democratic primary for Senate in May. “Any election that has such a low turnout is disappointing,� said Gary Bartlett, director of the State Board of Elections.

Fed to keep rates low to support weak recovery WASHINGTON (AP) — To sustain the fragile economic rebound, the Federal Reserve is sure to leave interest rates at record lows and is likely to repeat a pledge to keep them there for a while. The Fed ends a two-day meeting Wednesday with policymakers having cause for optimism as well as caution. The economy has been growing again for nearly a year. Manufacturing activity is picking up. Businesses are spending more. And Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke has expressed confidence that the nation won’t fall back into a “double dip” recession. At the same time, the recovery remains vulnerable to threats: Europe’s debt crisis, an edgy Wall Street, cautious consumers, a fragile housing market and high unemployment. “The effect of European developments on the U.S. economy is likely to be modest, so we expect the tone will be cautious but certainly not dire,” said Michael Feroli, economist at JPMorgan Chase Bank. The Fed is certain to leave its key bank lending rate at between zero and 0.25 percent. The rate has remained at that level since December 2008. That means rates on certain credit cards, home equity loans, some adjustable-rate mortgages and other consumer loans will remain low. Commercial banks’ prime lending rate would stay at about 3.25 percent, the lowest point in decades. Ultra-low rates serve borrowers who qualify for loans and are willing to take on more debt. But they hurt savers. Low rates are especially hard on people living on fixed incomes who are earning scant returns on their savings. Still, if rock-bottom rates spur Americans to spend more, they would help energize the economy. That’s why the Fed also is expected to maintain its pledge, in place for more than a year, to keep rates at record lows for an “extended period.” Dropping or weakening the extended-period language would spook Wall Street and businesses and could crimp hiring, analysts said. “It is not the right thing to do now,” said Kurt Karl, chief U.S. economist at Swiss Re. “You don’t want to derail employment growth.” In fact, given the risks to the recovery both at home and overseas, economists increasingly say the Fed probably won’t start boosting rates until next year — or possibly into 2012. That’s a change from a few months ago, when economists thought the Fed would begin raising rates at the end of this year. The Fed has leeway to hold rates at record lows because inflation is essentially nonexistent. Still, some inside the Fed who worry that easy money could spur inflation are already uneasy. One of them, Thomas Hoenig, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, has dissented for three straight meetings from the Fed’s decision to retain the “extended period” pledge. Besides inflation, Hoenig has said he fears keeping rates too low for too long could lead to excessive risk-taking by investors, feeding speculative bubbles in the prices of assets like stocks, bonds and commodities. After suffering the worst recession since the 1930s, the economy has been growing for about a year. Yet the pace hasn’t been robust enough to drive down unemployment, now at 9.7 percent. The rate is expected to stay high through this year and next. As a result, consumers have been cautious about spending. In May, retail spending fell by the largest amount in eight months. Surveying the situation, Capital Economics in a note to clients concluded: “Interest rate hikes still years away.”

Carrying the winning
run around the bases were the long, churning legs of none other than pitcher Parker Gobbel. Gobbel pinch-ran for Matt Miller, who had reached on an error. Gobbel swiped second on a close play and galloped home when Rogers came through with his clutch hit. “I had hit some balls hard and was 0-for-4, but I finally found a hole,” Rogers said. “It wasn’t easy to come back from as far down as we were.”

Just a small blip in another crafty game by the 47-year-old left-hander. “ I f y o u ’ r e around l o n g enough Atlanta’s lead in stuff like East down to, 11⁄2 this hap3B p e n s , ” M o y e r said. “I always had a lot of respect for Robin.” Moyer (8-6) limited the Tribe to just two hits while earning win No. 266, tying him with Bob Feller and Eppa Rixey for 35th on the career list. The soft-tossing veteran recorded 14 of his 24 outs on ground balls and has pitched at least eight innings in three of his last four starts, winning three of them. “We didn’t take good swings off Moyer and he flatout toyed with us,” Indians manager Manny Acta said. “It’s amazing what he’s doing at his age at this level.” J.C.

Atlanta’s Troy Glaus leads the National League in RBIs for the team with the best record.
Glaus house First baseman the center of Braves’ resurgence BY GEORGE HENRY Associated Press
ATLANTA — Jason Heyward’s bat has cooled off considerably. Jair Jurrjens is still hurt. Chipper Jones might be on his way to retirement when the season ends. Yet no matter how much difficulty the Atlanta Braves seem to face, they keep winning. Since ending a nine-game losing streak on April 30, the Braves are 34-14, best in the major leagues, and their 42-28 overall record leads the NL. “We’ve held our own as a team,”
Heyward said last weekend. “All year everybody’s been picking each other up.” Ask around the Atlanta clubhouse who’s most responsible for the surge, and Troy Glaus is the consensus answer. “It’s an amazing story,” manager Bobby Cox said. “A great pickup. He’s played a great first base as well. And he’s a gamer.” Nobody, including Glaus, imagined a few weeks ago that he would lead the National League in RBIs or that Atlanta would have the NL’s best record.
Glaus was hitting .194 with six homers and nine RBIs on May 1. Fans at Turner Field booed him every at-bat. It seemed the skeptics were right. Shoulder surgery that limited him to 14 games last year in St. Louis had depleted the former World Series MVP’s power. Maybe he was just trying to hang on as big league player. Switching from third base to first base looked like a desperate move for a four-time All-Star and the cost conscious Braves.
in the first two rounds, he returned to brilliance with a 5-under third round Saturday to move into third place. Sure, Woods is 0-for-36 when trailing a major tournament after 54 holes, but did you see the way he torched this course with five birdies on the final eight holes Saturday? It’s not like he had to run down proven champions like Phil Mickelson or Ernie Els. On Sunday, Dustin Johnson and Graeme McDowell — hardly household names — were all who stood between Woods and his 15th major victory, and a fourth U.S. Open trophy. Woods response: six bogeys on the first 12 holes, including the first one out of the gate, and that was that. “The golf course was playing too hard, too fast, and it can get away from you
A victory or possibly a tie would move the United States into the knockout rounds on a high that will set off midday celebrations back home. Replicate the loss to Ghana that knocked the U.S. out in 2006, and it will start a new round of soul-searching for that could cost coach Bob Bradley his job — not to mention dampening the burgeoning enthusiasm for soccer in America. Since returning to the World Cup in 1990 following a 40-year absence, the U.S. has alternated first-round elimination (’90, ’98 and ’06) with a second-round appearance at home in 1994 and a trip to the quarterfinals in South Korea in 2002. The U.S. has never before faced the Desert Foxes, who have yet to score in this tournament following a 1-0 loss to Slovenia and a 0-0 draw against England. Algeria can advance only with a win, and Les Fennecs coach Rabah Saadane repeatedly used the phrase “God willing” in refer-

Tiger blew his chance to win BY DAVID WHITE San Francisco Chronicle
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tiger Woods hit too many bad shots on Sunday that kept him from winning the U.S. Open.
The lurking Tiger picked a fine day to take a cat nap. With the U.S. Open there for the pouncing Sunday, Tiger Woods did little more than yawn his way to a fourth-place tie, three strokes short of the winner after a 4-over final round at Pebble Beach Golf Links. Woods finished 3-over on the Carmel Bay course, upon which no golfer broke par for the tournament. Compare that to 10 years ago, when Woods romped these links for a record 15-stroke Open victory. “Our game plan was just, if we shot under par for the day, we would probably win,” Woods said. Until this year, Woods firing off even par at Pebble was as sure as the 18th hole view was pretty. For all Woods’ struggles
PRETORIA, South Africa — One more game, one last chance to make their reputation. When the Americans play Algeria at the World Cup today they’ll either live up to all the hype and earn a spot among the final 16 teams — or fall painfully short of their long-stated goal and lose a watershed opportunity. “We have a great chance tomorrow night to get a win and advance on to the second round,” captain Carlos Bocanegra said Tuesday. “It’s important for us because we had that disappointment in ’06. It’s not really extra motivation, but it’s just in the back of our minds. You work so hard and you train for so long for the World Cup, and it can be over so quickly if you don’t advance.” T h i s World Cup started with a come-frombehind 1-1 tie against glamorous England. Then the Americans trailed Slovenia by DONOVAN two goals at halftime only to fight back as Landon Donovan and Michael Bradley scored for a 2-2 draw. They appeared to go ahead, but Maurice Edu’s 85thminute goal was disallowed for reasons referee Koman Coulibaly of Mali didn’t explain. “We’re not going to worry about any calls or anything like that getting us down,” Bocanegra said. “We had a good second half and hopefully we can continue with that momentum and put that into the Algeria game.”

The top of the first was rough for Rowan lefty Zack Simpson. Bloops fell and bouncers had eyes. It was 5-0 before he got three outs, and Rowan spent the rest of regulation climbing uphill. Simpson made it into the sixth. Alex Litaker took over from there LITAKER and was stellar. Rowan turned three DPs behind Litaker, and he put up zero after zero. Statesville (3-11, 2-10), which got five hits from Travis Fetter, led 9-3 in the sixth, had two on and was looking to bust it wide open when Rogers, filling in at shortstop for Preston Troutman, snagged a liner for a double play. That was the first break Rowan got. It was a game-changer. Rowan got a run on an error in the seventh, then scored three in the eighth on a Zach Smith RBI single, an error and a balk to creep within 9-7.

Laws and Johnson dueled brilliantly before Rogers delivered his huge hit. “This game was kinda the story of our season,” Statesville coach Trey Ramsey said. “If it’s come down to a break or a call in the late innings, we’ve come out on the short end of things.”

FROM 1B placed by Brad Lidge after the Indians put runners on first and second with one out. Lidge then struck out Austin Kearns and Jhonny Peralta, completing the three-hitter and earning his fifth save in six tries. Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel grew testy when asked after the game after his bullpen use, stating firmly that Lidge is the closer. Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins came off the disabled list and went 0 for 4 in the leadoff spot. Rollins has been hampered by an injured right calf. “Jimmy did pretty good,” Manuel said. “He made a couple of good plays in the field. Of course, he can hit better.” Mitch Talbot (7-6), coming off the worst start of his career, allowed two runs and four hits in seven innings for Cleveland. The rookie right-hander was tagged for eight runs and 13 hits over 5 2-3 innings in his last outing, an 8-4 loss to the Mets last Wednesday. “I thought Mitch did a very good job,” Acta said. “He made a lot of good pitches when he had to.” Philadelphia, which managed just four hits for the second straight game, got both of its runs in the first. Ryan Howard singled in Placido Polanco and Jayson Werth drove in Chase Utley with a sacrifice fly to center. Trevor Crowe reached on an infield single in the sixth and Shin-Soo Choo singled in the ninth for Cleveland’s other hits. The Phillies almost had another run in the fourth but Raul Ibanez was called for interfering with Indians shortstop Anderson Hernandez on a

They tried to make it a big inning a number of times, but we were able to get some pitches or a play to stay out of it. I knew you were going to have to get 27 hard outs, and that’s what it ended up being.” The Gamecocks (49-16) play on Thursday in another elimination game. The Sun Devils (52-10) lost consecutive games for the first time this season and went two-and-out at the CWS for only the third time in 22 appearances.

Price struggled at first, giving up two singles and hitting a batter to load the bases, but he caught Austin Barnes looking at strike three and then struck out Drew Maggi after running the count to 3-0. “Price wasn’t feeling real well today, but he gutted it up,” Tanner said. Former Davie County star Whit Merrifield finished a 3-for-5 game with his 13th homer to give the Gamecocks a seven-run lead. The eight-run second was Arizona State’s worst inning in 196 games, since giving up nine in a 14-5 loss to Arizona on May 25, 2007.
OMAHA, Neb. — The Oklahoma-Clemson game at the College World Series was suspended because of weather Tuesday night with Clemson leading 6-1 going to the top of the sixth inning. The winners’ bracket game will be resumed at 4:30 p.m. EDT this afternoon. NCAA officials stopped the game because of lightning in the area, and heavy rain followed. Radar indicated eastwardmoving storms stretching well west of the Omaha area, and officials decided after a 32-minute delay to suspend the game. The game will be completed before Wednesday’s regularly scheduled elimination game between Florida State and TCU. The Oklahoma-Clemson winner will have the inside track to win Bracket 2 and advance to next week’s best-of-three finals. The loser meets South Carolina on Thursday. Clemson starter Scott Weismann allowed a run, three hits and two walks over five innings before the interruption.

Tyrus Thomas wants to remain a Bobcat.
If Thomas has his preference? Bobcats Associated Press
The NBA notebook ... CHARLOTTE — If Tyrus Thomas gets his way, the impending restricted free agent will stay in Charlotte. Thomas said Tuesday that he wants to sign a longterm deal with the Bobcats, who acquired him from Chicago in a trade deadline deal in February. “Most definitely, that’s my goal,” Thomas said by phone from Washington where he was to receive a public service award. “We’ll see what happens in the next couple of weeks.” General manager Rod Higgins said earlier this month that they’ll likely offer the 6-foot-10 power forward a one-year qualifying offer worth a little over $6 million to make him a restricted free agent. “When we traded for him, he’s a guy that we envisioned going long-term with,” Higgins said. LAKERS’ FUTURE EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Andrew Bynum survived the playoffs on his injured right knee, so the Los Angeles Lakers center is taking a few extra weeks to celebrate their title before getting the problem fixed for good. Bynum’s knee was drained Tuesday for the third time in recent weeks, and the 7-footer will have surgery next month to repair a partially torn ligament. But with the Lakers’ blessing, Bynum is headed to the World Cup in South Africa before undergoing surgery around July 18. Recovery time is short for the surgery, and Bynum should be at full strength for training camp this fall. “It’s not the most serious (injury),” Bynum said after his exit interview with the Lakers brass. “I’m going to get it taken care of, and then everything is supposed to be cool.” One day after a victory parade celebrating their second straight championship, most of the Lakers gathered at their training complex. Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher will depart for the summer Wednesday, when coach Phil Jackson also might reveal his plans for next season. GRIFFIN UPDATE NEW YORK — When Clippers forward Blake Griffin was out last season, he found inspiration in the one thing he couldn’t do: play basketball. “I’ve had a chance to watch up close and personal and see how they do things,” he said. “Now I get to actually go through with it.” Griffin injured his left kneecap in the Clippers’ final exhibition game last year and missed the entire regular season. He had surgery in January. Now healthy, Griffin said he has been working out 100 percent for about a month and a half. He has spent time playing with teammate and All-Star Chris Kaman. Griffin was the No. 1 pick last year out of Oklahoma after earning AP Player of the Year honors. “I’ve shaken up some of the rust and gotten some of the rhythm back,” he said. “I feel better.” MAGGETTE A BUCK MILWAUKEE — Seeking a scoring threat and willing to take on a significant contract, the Milwaukee Bucks acquired forward Corey Maggette in a trade with the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday. The Bucks also got a second-round draft pick from the Warriors, giving up guard Charlie Bell and center Dan Gadzuric in return. Maggette played in 70 games with 49 starts for Golden State last season, averaging 19.8 points per game. He will be expected to provide offense for a team that may lose John Salmons, who can opt out of his contract and become a free agent. HORNET COACH WANTS PAUL WESTWEGO, La. — Monty Williams would rather not contemplate making his NBA head coaching debut without Chris Paul. So with trade talks intensifying as they often do in the final days before the NBA draft, Williams made it clear on Tuesday that he expects his new employers to turn down whatever offers they get for their biggest star. “Chris was the main thing that excited me about this job,” Williams said after a pre-draft workout Tuesday at the Hornets’ suburban training center. “So many people are begging for a point guard. You’re talking about the best one in the game. I couldn’t envision being here without Chris.” DURANT WANTS TO STAY OKLAHOMA CITY — The cover of EA Sports’ new NBA video game features Kevin Durant on the cover in a white Oklahoma City Thunder jersey. Durant hopes he’ll soon be signed up to wear that jersey for a long time. The NBA’s scoring champion from last season will get the opportunity to negotiate an extension with the Thunder on July 1 and he’s looking forward to signing on the dotted line. “I hope it happens, man. I’m really emphasizing how much I really enjoy playing for the Oklahoma City team and playing for that city,” Durant said in a phone interview Tuesday after the NBA ELITE 11 cover was unveiled. TIMBERWOLVES MINNEAPOLIS — After watching their Minnesota Timberwolves lose in the lottery again last month, the team’s disillusioned fans were crestfallen. No John Wall. No Evan Turner. No luck at all. Team president David Kahn maintained all along that the Wolves would be just fine with the fourth overall draft pick, and he appears to be growing even more confident in the position just two days before the NBA draft. “Whoever it is at 4, we’re going to have a really fine player joining our roster,” Kahn said Tuesday. “I’m really excited about the player we’ll be getting, no matter who it is. I don’t think I can really screw this one up.”
CHARLOTTE— The Panthers have signed rookie quarterback Tony Pike to a four-year deal, putting six of Carolina’s 10 draft picks under contract. One of three sixth-round choices for the Panthers, Pike receives a signing bonus of $81,145. He went 16-3 as a starter at Cincinnati and will be part of a crowded QB competition that includes Matt Moore, Hunter Cantwell and second-round pick Jimmy Clausen. Pike’s deal Tuesday leaves Clausen, third-round choices Brandon LaFell and Armanti Edwards and fourth-round pick Eric Norwood as the only unsigned rookies. The Panthers report to training camp on July 28. • NEW YORK — Fourthround draft pick Joe McKnight has signed with the New York Jets. The running back from Southern Cal rushed for 2,213 yards and 13 touchdowns and caught 66 passes for 542 yards. He had 32 punt returns for 254 yards.
RECRUIT SHOT YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — An Ohio State football recruit was shot and wounded twice in two months, and authorities believe the cases are unrelated. Jamel Turner, 18, was left in critical condition by a shooting early Saturday in Youngstown. A 17-year-old girl was killed in the shooting. Police Capt. Rod Foley said Monday the case apparently was unrelated to a drive-by shooting on April 16, when Turner was wounded.
ACC OBIT GREENSBORO — Retired Atlantic Coast Conference associate commissioner Fred Barakat died Monday. He was 71. In a statement, ACC commissioner John Swofford remembered Barakat as someone who “served college ath-
letics well throughout his career, and was a significant and impactful influence especially within the basketball community.” The conference provided no details as to the cause of death. Barakat, a 1961 graduate of Assumption College, joined the ACC in 1981 as the coordinator of basketball officials and held numerous duties, including manager of the men’s basketball tournament. He retired in 2007 as associate commissioner of men’s basketball operations. He spent 11 years as head coach at Fairfield before joining the ACC, compiling a 160-128 record and leading the Stags to three NITs.
NASCAR CHARLOTTE — NASCAR on Tuesday suspended former driver Randy LaJoie for failing a drug test, and he said he’s enrolled in a substanceabuse program. LaJoie, who has not raced at any of NASCAR’s top three national levels since 2006, said in a statement that he smoked marijuana once in May. “My use of marijuana was an isolated incident following the Coca-Cola 600,” he said. “I plan to follow the recommendations of the substance abuse counselor and suggestions of NASCAR and hope that someday I can prove to NASCAR and all the people with whom I associate that I have taken such steps to see that instances such as this do not reoccur.” Lajoie said he has also been suspended from his role as a NASCAR analyst with ESPN. The network confirmed Lajoie had been indefinitely suspended. LaJoie was tested by NASCAR because he applied for a license on June 3 to become a spotter for one of Joe Gibbs Racing’s Nationwide Series teams. He said in his statement he voluntarily submitted to the test.

Serena, Nadal win Associated Press
WIMBLEDON, England — Serena Williams finished with an ace and a curtsy, showing she’s ready for the queen and a lot more at Wimbledon. The defending champion won her opening match Tuesday, relying on an overpowering serve to beat 17year-old Michelle Larcher de Brito of Portugal 6-0, 6-4. Williams won all 27 points on her first serve and hit 15 aces, the last on her final shot. As the crowd applauded her victory, Williams curtsied, mindful Queen Elizabeth II is expected to visit Wimbledon for the first time since 1977 on Thursday. Williams plays her second-round match that day and has been practicing her curtsy. “I want it to be more natural,” she said. “Right now it feels really forced. Seems like I’ve never done a curtsy before, which may be true. But I’m looking forward to nailing it.” The queen may also get to see top-ranked Rafael Nadal, who advanced by beating Japanese wild card Kei Nishikori 6-2, 6-4, 6-4. It was Nadal’s first match at Wimbledon since he became the 2008 champion; he missed last year’s tourna-
eventual heir to Woods’ Open/Pebble throne. Woods said he’s playing better, though he finished fourth as he did two months ago at the Masters. He said the neck injury is fine, so there’s no falling on that sword. “I feel like I can play now,” Woods said. “I feel like I put some pieces together this week. It’s a process, it’s a long process, but I’ve put some of it together. “The two major championships I finished I had a chance to win. So it’s not too bad.” A chance to win is not too bad?

ment because of knee tendinitis. “For me it was a very special moment to come back to this, probably the nicest Centre Court in the world,” Nadal said. “I’m enjoying a lot to be back in my favorite tournament.” Neither French Open women’s finalist survived the first round. Roland Garros runner-up Samantha Stosur, ranked a career-high sixth, lost to qualifier Kaia Kanepi 6-4, 6-4. Surprise French Open winner Francesca Schiavone was beaten Monday. “No doubt it’s a quick turnaround,” Stosur said. “The champions of the game can do it back to back. That’s the kind of pedestal that you want to try to look up to and try to get to yourself.” Maria Sharapova, the 2004 Wimbledon champion, needed only 54 minutes to beat lucky loser Anastasia Pivovarova 6-1, 6-0. No. 3-seeded Caroline Wozniacki swept Tathiana Garbin 6-1, 6-1. Former top-five player James Blake, returning from a three-month layoff because of a right knee injury, lost to Robin Haase 6-2, 6-4, 6-4. “The knee is not great,” Blake said. “If it doesn’t get better soon, I’m not sure how much longer I want to play in pain.”
straight tries, his longest drought since a 2002-04 run of knee surgery, swing adjustments and coaching changes. This is killing his pace to catch Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major victories, but by no means does this mean Woods woke up a terrible golfer. He’s still ranked No. 1 in the world. He outplayed all but four members of this 156-player field. But when opponents like Havret aren’t afraid to say out loud, “Tiger didn’t play good” ... well, the fear factor isn’t quite the factor it used to be. “I didn’t hit too many bad shots,” Woods said. “I just left myself in the wrong spots.”

The World Cup roundup ... RUSTENBURG, South Africa — Uruguay won Group A and Mexico also advanced Tuesday after Luis Suarez scored in the 43rd minute to give the South Americans a 1-0 victory at the World Cup. Both teams will face Group B members; those teams will be decided Tuesday night. South Africa and France did not advance after the hosts beat the French 2-1. Suarez, Uruguay’s most dangerous striker all day, ran unguarded to the back post and headed in Edinson Cavani’s brilliant cross for his first goal of the tournament. The two countries went into the last group game sharing the lead at four points and needed only a draw to advance. But both fielded attacking lineups. Even so, the game yielded few clear scoring chances. South Africa 2, France 1 BLOEMFONTEIN, South Africa — Bongani Khumalo and Katlego Mphela scored

ence to a victory. “We are in a good mood to make our people back home very happy,” Algeria captain Antar Yahia said. A win would send the U.S. to a second-round matchup this weekend with Germany, Ghana, Serbia or Australia, and another big television audience for American soccer. With France knocked out, and England, Germany, defending champion Italy and Spain all uncertain of reaching the knockout stage, the U.S. could find itself in a fairly wide-open tournament if it advances. Coaches will be paying attention to the England-Slovenia game, which will be played simultaneously in Port Elizabeth. If the English lose, the U.S. would advance with a tie. If both the U.S. and England draw, the Americans reach the second round if they maintain their goal advantage over the English, currently 3-1. It could get thorny if the U.S. and the English tie, and England scores two goals more than the Americans. Then Slovenia would win the group and a televised drawing of a ball from a bowl would be held in Johannesburg at 1 p.m. EDT to determine whether the U.S. or England finishes second. “I think for us the concentration is just on getting ready for the match,” Bob
Bradley said. “So many things can happen along the way, so we’ve not put much thought into the final way of determining things.” Michael Kammarman, the U.S. team’s press officer, will be responsible for keeping staff aware of the score in the England-Slovenia game. What happens in the other match could determine how much the U.S. pushes for a late goal against the Algerians. “You have to be a little careful because you want to just play and you don’t want to, at the end of the game, think that if we hold onto this result that we’re going to get through and then you get a goal scored on you and you’re out of it,” Donovan said. Going into their firstround finale in 2002, the U.S. flopped to a 3-0 defeat against Poland but wound up advancing with a secondplace group finish when Park Ji-sung’s 70th-minute goal gave South Korea a 1-0 victory over Portugal. At last year’s Confederations Cup, the U.S. needed a three-goal win over Egypt to advance and for Italy to lose to Brazil by three goals. Brazil scored three times in the first half against the Azzurri, and Clint Dempsey’s 71st-minute goal gave the U.S. a 3-0 win over the Egyptians. “Last year’s Confederations Cup was a nice dress rehearsal and we were in this situation a little bit,” Bocanegra said.

A variation on the theme BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
Edgar Allen Poe wrote, “There are certain themes of which the interest is all-absorbing, but which are too entirely horrible for the purposes of legitimate fiction.” Based on the popularity of no-holds-barred horror movies these days, that dates Poe. (He died in 1849.) This week’s columns have a certain interesting theme: suit preference. Where does it occur in this deal? What should West lead against five diamonds? North should open one club. The major-suit honors might be worthless, but North has a comfortable two-club rebid should South respond one heart or one spade. When, though, South bids one diamond, North raises that suit. Then South uses Blackwood before passing out five diamonds when he learns that two aces are missing. West, now knowing his partner must have an ace, can see how to defeat the contract: his trump ace, partner’s ace and a club ruff. So West leads his singleton club. What should East do? First, he should realize his partner has led a singleton. With Q-J-2 of clubs, West would have led the queen; and with a doubleton, West would have led the higher card. Next, East must recognize that West wants to know where East’s entry lies. Since East has his ace in hearts, the lower-ranking of the other two side-suits, he must play his club four at trick one. (With the spade ace, East would play the club 10.) Then

West will grab the second trick with his diamond ace, shift to a heart, and receive the club ruff that gives the defense the setting trick.
‘Twilight’ fans gather for premiere LOS ANGELES (AP) — A mini-tent city has bloomed outside the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles to see an “Eclipse.” Hundreds of fans are awaiting Thursday night’s red-carpet premiere of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” the third installment of the vampire movie series. The movie opens in theaters June 30. Scripts are in the works for more “Twilight” movies. About 9,000 wristbands are being handed out to fans, who began erecting tents Monday on concrete steps outside the theater. Nokia officials, who have issued a list of camping rules, say the wristbands must be worn until the premiere is over.

more possibility is a side effect of medication you may be on, including the 81 milligrams daily aspirin that acts as an anticoagulant. I should indicate it is common for aspirin, even the 81-milligram strength, to be prescribed to people with abnormal cardiac conditions. The Tegretol XR you are taking has uncommon side effects of severe allergic reactions, including unusual bruising or bleeding. I am not saying this is the cause of your bruising, but adding this to your aspirin regimen might be the cause. Speak with your physician or cardiologist for his or her interpretation. Take extra precautions to avoid direct stress to your skin. Your physician(s) will likely continue you on your current medications because of your medical history.

A greater emphasis than usual could be placed on your social life in the year ahead. You could end up playing a more serious role in the affairs of special friends, which would end up affecting your own situation in a most positive way. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — It wouldn't hurt for you to try something different when it comes to a goal you're trying to achieve that has to do with your work or career — larger than usual gains could be realized. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Take some time to reorganize your affairs and it will pay off handsomely, both with your relationships with others and what you get out of it. A fresh approach can do the trick. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Things could start to pay off in two separate arrangements that you've been diligently laying the groundwork on in hopes of making things easier for yourself. You'll see the first signs today. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Because you and others with whom you've been partnered have been working well with each other, Lady Luck could soon be pitching in and providing you with her benefits. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — By handling things so adroitly lately, you have generated opportunities for yourself where your work or career is concerned. You could realize a payoff by means of larger earnings. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) —- Don't hesitate for one minute to get involved in a larger-than-life endeavor, even if it means scrapping some little jobs that haven't paid off. In your instance, bigger is better. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Someone who has been a recipient of your generosity may be trying extra hard to work out a special deal just for you. Good deeds you've done for this individual are coming home to roost. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If you're asked to take on a special position or participate on a committee of some importance, don't hesitate to accept, even if it means shelving a less significant project. It'll pay off big for you. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — There are some days that are simply more fortunate for you career-wise and/or financially, and this could be one of them. If you have anything good going for you, tie it down now. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Go ahead and shoot for the moon, because Dame Fortune is with you in going after a large target. The only important thing is that you keep an open mind about what you can acquire. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Things orchestrated by others are likely to turn out to be more fortunate for you in the long run, so don't hesitate to hitch a ride on some else's bandwagon if you can. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Being in the company of one who is energetic and has high hopes and aspirations will rub off onto you. This person's eagerness to achieve will inspire you to create some ambitious goals of your own.
